Well after a lot of to and fro the last few months, I've finally got my 6 and a half stone award. Probably be up next week as I have a day out planned for the Liverpool v Celtic game here in Dublin. Oh and I'm not officially only overweight with a bmi of 29.7. Delighted.

Well that's me out of here. In to the 17s this week. Keep up the good work guys and I hope to see u all soon.

so i'm back to loosing ways. down 5lb tis week, happy days

Haven't been on here in a few weeks. Took a little break and put back on 3 lb. I also have now been in sw for a year and have lost 6st. I would recommend it to anyone. I still live my life but still lose when I want to and am 100% on plan

So I tried to have a good week but ended up on the drink on Saturday. A mate was having leaving drinks for heading off to Canada. Still down 2lb this week though which I was delighted with. i'm hoping for a 4lb next week to bring me down to the 17's and get my 6.5lb award.

well after a month im back to where i was. more off this week and i'll be happy. i'm now probably at my lightest since I was about 16.

Some absolutely appalling advice and nonsense in this thread. Don't get me wrong, there are some good points in here. For a start, not all men are the same. Like every other group of people, some will want to lose weight and others won't. I was told I needed to lose 3 stone as I had higH blood...

Thanks for your kind words. Yeah I'm delighted and feeling good. Still a way to go but enjoying it.

so I havent been on here in a few weeks. had my 30th weekend on the 24th of May, put on 8lb, 1lb the follwing week and back on track this week with a 4lb loss. happy enough with that and i'll try get rid of the other 5lb at least next week. onward and downward.

never updated this last week, 3lb down last week, 4lb this week. Delighted I got my 6stone award, another SOTW and Man of the Year award. Will have a couple of tough weeks ahead but I don't mind. its my 30th and then a few days break away the following week so the losses are happily put to one...

so had an eventful week this week and thoroughly enjoyed it, up 4lb but know where it came from so it is acceptable. Milano's, another meal, burritos, blondies ha ha a week of indulgence or and beer, lots of beer. back on plan after weigh in on monday and doing the scan bran challenge this...

so the 5lb proved too much, 3lb down though. can't really complain. hopefully i should get it next week. 82lb in 41 weeks :0)

baked potato, beans, cheese triangle broken up and franks buffalo hot sauce. mmmmm all free

lemon, garlic and rosemary cajun spice tandoori spice fill with philly grilled peppers and wrap with some smoked bacon, finish with some balsamic vinegar chilli, garlic and lime juice. kfc style with smash the list is endless, even just seasoned and with a couple of garlic cloves, wrap in tin...

I know its a week later but buy a flan case and use quark mixed with vanilla extract and sweetner on top. then layer over sliced fruit. 4syns for an 8th.

thats a top tip. i do it for shepherds pie too. you should try the M&S low fat butchers style sausages. they're amazing for dinners

good idea. I make my custard the same way but use egg yolks too. beat egg yolks and cornflour and add warm milk and cook in pot. really easy and really hits the spot

459 views and no1 has tried this yet??? :cry:

Not similar to using for a pizza base then? How would it be syned?

hey you guys, just in here now. hoping for not too long :) down to 18st11lb.

well i got the big loss, 4.5lb this week, slimmer of the week and 5.5 stone award. happy out 5lb needed for the 6stone award next week. I wonder if is too much hmmmmm, we shall see ha ha

Thank you. yes its all been from doing SW. I find it handy enough when u get used to it. thats 79lb in 40 weeks. it has flown by. just important to plan and keep positive and not get disheartened when ur up. each day is different, each week is different and if u know where gains come from you'll...

well thats me outta this room and on to the next 4.5lb loss this week

Anybody try this yet?

still here, 1.5 lb to go to next room, cant wait to hit the 18s

yeah id defo recommend it. bang bang chicken salad is epic

Hi guys, i've been working on some recipes the last while that are SW friendly. This might be the best one yet tho. I have been eating this for about a month now and have kept it quiet until taster night to see if they went down well, which they really did so I decided to post it up here now...

so lost another 2lb this week. absolutely delighted. was out for dinner and a LOT of drinks on Saturday night. was good all week though. i'm looking forward to a nice big loss this week, roll on next Monday

yup

I drink it all the time. it aids digestion and gets rid of bloating but also if you're drinking it it means you are drinking less tea and coffee. this does 2 things - It stops you drinking more milk and also caffeine, which stimulates fat storage in the body

can still use cornflour. 4 syns per tbsp. not a lot if ur making a big pot. or use smash, great for thicking

Thanks

2lb down this week. Dunno where it came from but ill take it. Cake, alcohol and choc. New week tho Aiming for loss again next week:D

anyone try these yet?

i make these all of the time. theyre great. i grate a couple of potatos using a large box grater. when grated, salt the potato n squeeze all of the excess water out of them. then i put the raw potato in the microwave for 5 minutes before frying off. they are cooked from the microwave so ur...

up a half lb this week, delighted with that. down again next week

as I said, off this week ha ha 9lb loss. delighted completely. need to keep this up. Slimmer of the month too. :)

2.5lb this week. :) and got the group's biggest loser 2013 award, have to be happy with that:D

no bother, its nice to have a look back, its also nice to show people who might be struggling that it is achievable.

Im now out of here and into the teens, keep up the work everyone

Hope you enjoyed it, but today is a new day. Draw a line n kick on. Worst thing you can do is get stressed and depressed over a few syns. I find I do need to have a blow out every now and again. I'm not gonna deprive myself for the rest of my life n I don't think anyone else should. So smile and...

Good man, I was told I got 3rd in Miss Slinky 2012, my girlfriend was 2nd. It's nice to see stuff like this as sometimes it can seem a little female orientated. I'm the only man in my group week in week out so it's nice to see that there are others out there like me

Any loss is good. Better than a gain. Even if its a pound a week you'll still get to where u want eventually

down to 19st 11lb. im in here now :), dont worry, ill try be gone by the end of the month:eek:

so i forgot to post on here last week. had 2 days travelling in Cambridge, eating everything that is off plan. was out for my gfs granny's birthday meal and decided to have a night on the tear too. this resulted in a 2lb weight gain last week. this week tho, i stuck the head down, exercised a...

last week here. 20st on the nail.:D

thanks alot. yeah im happy as i can be. I have hit my first major milestone 62 lb, 2lb loss this week. it felt like this day would never come but i am delighted. 20st even. next loss will have me in the teens. :D

2lb this week brings me to 60 lb in 30 weeks. Happy with 2 lb average with gains over Xmas etc.

coconut essence and fromage frais

1lb down this week, down is down:)

I'd like to give my point of view, a male point of view. I honestly think that this is a bit much. Fair enough he's losing an awful lot a week but maybe if he is as massive as you say, then surely it's a game of percentages or maybe he's just putting more work in each week. I have consistently...

productive week this week, 4lb down this week, slimmer of the week, slimmer of the month, 4stone award and to top it all off, me and the gf got couple of the year. delighted to say the least.

another 3.5lbs this week, thats the xmas weight gone and only back on plan 2 weeks, happy out. onward and downward, hopefully 3lb next week to get my 4stone award

You could go with a nice 3 course meal - soup - leek and potato, roast red pepper, speed soup, veg soup - syn free main - steak/chicken/fish with chips/potatoes and veg. Sw pepper sauce etc. dessert - merangue, frozen raspberries and homemade custard 2 syns for the merangue, custard made with...

Two weeks after my last weigh in I had my first weigh in of the new year today, down 3.5lb. Delighted isn't the word. Away for a weekend last weekend for my GF's Bday. had a great weekend and left the SW to the side. Would have been happy to STS. :)

hi Guys, I was just wondering who you get your inspiration from? the reason why i'm asking is that when i see stories in this thread it really gives me the desire to keep going. if someone has lost 100lb, surely i can do that too. maybe it is just my competitive nature. but in group tonight...

i made this again this week, used Tesco taco mixed beans in it instead of the mixed bean salad. makes a massive difference and is very nice indeed. this soup is the mutts nuts and i got a 5lb loss this week with being away and taking a break from the diet and eating everything in sight for a...

5lb again this week, spped soup ftw, 14lb in October :D

after the 2lb i put on 2weeks ago, i was away last week and ate and drank rings around myself. dunno how i done it but i lost 5lb this week, and another slimmer of the month award. BOOM. ha ha delighted, just hope it doesnt come back to haunt me next week. hope the rest of you are doing just as...

Well after a few good weeks, I put on 2lb last week, then was away this weekend so had a holiday booked. So we'll see how next week goes

FOWL

think this is a good idea but i couldnt stick it. i need protein in my life. i always found the speed soup to be the best for a slow down

monday again, hopefully not too bad this week, stuck to plan but feel bloated today. lets see how it goes

to be honest i eat normal things. i mainly eat the same things day to day, each week. so breakfast can be bacon, eggs, beans, toast, fruit, mullerlight. all no syns. breakfast tends to be when i eat most. lunch will be fruit, speed soup with pasta, dinner can be a number of things -...

And here it is again, Monday

Ok so I was away last weekend for a wedding-beer, champagne, cocktails, vodka, full breakfast, 2 x 4 course meals, McDonald's, Hillbillys fried chicken and a kebab. No food optimising and very little fruit. So I made the speed soup on Sunday and got back to plan and stayed the same so I'm...

My second week in a row to make this. Have to say its lovely. i like to add a little cayenne pepper and cumin to it in the bowl if i fancy a change. eating it the same everyday can be a bit mundane. also have found that having precooked pasta in the fridge to Put in my bowl before i pour the...

I make my own sauce all the time but mug shots and stuff are handy if ur not prepared or in a hurry.

I usually treat myself to a chocolate bar. Something in and around 10-12 syns. It seems like like a treat and can be taken as a still in plan if the syns are saved during the day.

as largerthanmost said, there are alot of low cost ways to do this. im unemployed so ive the same issue. i tend to eat much the same things for the majority of my days. my breakfast can be weetabix/magic porridge/ or bacon eggs and beans. lunch can be soup with pasta/ beans and potatos / salad...

up you get lads, im in SW since july, down just under 2stone, hoping to get the award this week. have had a look through this thread, nice to see so many men doing so well, keep up the good work

2lb this week. **punk*~*star** 7lb (1lb lost - 6lb to go) *soon-to-be-slim* - 8lbs (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) ally_88 - 7lbs (1lb lost 6lbs to go) Arctic-BNG 7lbs (0lbs Lost - 7.5lbs to go) babylove - 8lb (6lb lost - 2lbs to go) Becca Wecca 8lbs. (0lbs lost - 8lbs to go) Bernadette and mum 8lb...

Yeah I walk/ run at least 3 days a week. I don't see much point in losing weight if I'm not getting fit too.

Another 2lb this week. Still down. Weeks holiday next week. So it'll be 2 weeks before this gets updated again

Weigh in 2moro. Dreading it. Have had a good week. But just feel bloated for some reason.

i'm gonna stick my name down on this as i think its a great idea. I want 1/2 stone this month, so 7lb for me. 1lb gone already this week. ive been averaging 1stone a month but i have a wedding to go to on the 15th so im taking that into consideration **punk*~*star** 7lb (1lb lost - 6lb to go)...

Down 1lb this week. To much alcohol but down is down :)

I got it. It's good, well worth it. And they only do 7 issues a year

Im just happy with the stickers in fairness

Tbh it is a little bit of a big ask. U could do it but putting yourself under that much stress can't be healthy. Just stick to plan and see how it goes. As said above, half a stone a month should be easier and won't have u feelin disappointed if u don't get it

Quentin

i really need to try these. really loved pancakes on a saturday for breakfast

must try this, if it works its good

ha ha yeah I know exactly what u mean, my missus does be laughing at me. im only there 6 weeks and have 8awards stickers. she reckons theyre gonna ban me. ah well, any motivation is good.

how are we all doing this week?

yup mine is similar - skinny is better than a mouthful of Syns

love this idea. ive a load of things i want to do that my weight is preventing me from doing. I want to run a 5K, then a 10K for charity by the time im 30 in May next year. go kayaking down a river do a white collar boxing night drive a ferrari(im also a 6ft5 petrolhead) go drifting scubadive...

Xavier

id assume most of this dish is free so allow 6syn for oil and try have a look at the rest of the ingredients, chicken, veg, noodles, garlic, chilli etc. should all be free and superfree

im not in here yet but i should be here by December, see you then:p (GOAL)

well done Gaz. its stories lke this that inspire me to keep going. I started 6 weeks ago and am down 22lb from 24st6lb. looking forward to getting down more. are u competitive by any chance? im just looking at your awards? i thrive on getting as many as i can and work as hard as i can to get...

yep im here, 22.12 this week. thats 24s to 22s in 6 weeks, fingers crossed i wont be here too long;)

no bother dude. out sunday for a chinese myself. :break_diet:

I must try this recipe. I love me some BBQ flavour

Yeah I tried that too. It's nice alright. Have a try of the grilled pepper Philly or the sundries tomato and basil one in it. Really nice

Hi guys, i like the SW burgers but I said I'd stick up this thread as a place to put recipes for tastier ones. I like to make up batches of different ones to have depending on my mood. Anyone else with input can throw there recipes up too. Italian Half an onion diced handful of basil clove of...

Sounds nice, I'd say the wok has to be really hot to make it crispy. I used to do something similar with prawns, chilli and garlic

good work every1. every1 working hard and loosing well. i got 5.5lb this week. thats 22lb in 6 weeks, got my one and a half stone award, slimmer of the week for a fourth time and slimmer of the month. im aiming for my club 10 for the end of october, but its only 12lb away. good work John...

well done alice. 2lb is a good good loss considering ur weight. u should get to goal by xmas with some good work

oh and i got my stone and a half award, another slimmer of the week (4th) and slimmer of the month

Good luck and keep up the hard work. I seem to be getting by by saying to myself that being healthy and thin is better than any number of bad meals. Any loss, big or small will eventually get you to where you want

Another good week this week. 5.5lbs. I seem to have a good week then a not so good week. Gonna try have a good one next week too. On a positive note tho, at least I'm still having a small loss on the bad weeks. Really cannot complain with this diet

Another 1.5lb. This week. I blame it on the subway I had on Wednesday ha.

Thanks Nick. Nice to see another male on this. (I assume ha ha)

Well done. It's well deserved

very happy this week. 5lb down. slimmer of the week for the 3rd week running and my stone award. 15lb in 4 weeks. doin very well, long may it last well done, thats a great loss and overall is amazing. you should be very happy. well done. i got my first stone today too. keep up the good work

typically its one Syn per 20kcal. SW is brilliant. best of luck

Down 5lb this week. Happy with that after a slow one last week

10.5 syns it seems to be from the info on the internet

Thanx Smartie

add quark to the pan when the steak is cooked and stir on a low heat. add black peppercorns. this is a nice free peppercorn sauce.

For a quick curry flavour cook chicken onion, peppers, mushrooms etc in madras curry powder and cover with Passata and reduce. for a stir fry. plenty on garlic, ginger and chilli to fry with ur protein. then add a little water and ur veg, 1 tbsp of oyster sauce(2syns per tbsp IIRC), some soy...

1 syn each for the cheesecake ones and 2 for the vanilla with Cherry. all the rest are free

looks like 19. be so much easier to make it urself

i have a Harvest Morn bar out of ALDI. choc orange flavour. 2 can be taken as a HExB or 3 syns each

corona light 355ml bottle is only 99cal. 5Syns :D

A bit disappointed this week. Only down 1.5lb. Chin up. The hard work starts this week again.

Just weighed in. Down 1.5lb. Bit disappointed but need to push for next week

I find prep is the key. Spend a few hours getting ur dinners sorted for the week. If u have one busy day of cooking a week for easy meal times and more time to play with the son you"ll be in a better place come ur wedding. Get ur man on board too, if even just for the food, I find it much easier...

For the first couple of months I'd say that's easily achievable. I'm not long it but am finding it easy. But the incentive of having the class each Monday keeps me on target. But personally I have set interim goals without times. Ie. goal one, lose half stone. Goal 2 fit into jeans that are too...

Just as an addition to this, has anyone tried the gravy? One low salt chicken stock cube, one chicken oxo, black pepper in water with smash to thicken. FREE.

Yeah I've used it. Doesn't go really crispy but think its very nice indeed. And it's free

Hi John, I found this online. Hope it is of some help Slimming World Takeaway syn list :) - General chat - YouAndYourWedding
