Welcome and good luck!

I would definitely give it a go! I love slimmingworld and find you do eat more calories than you are "supposed to" but it works! xxx

Agreed about not getting confused over days. I have done extra easy for about 6 months now and I am now starting to use red or green days but I haven't needed them. I just like to do them now to spice it up a bit!

I don't suffer with it myself but I know what works for me is not having any goodies in the house or if I buy chocolate for my husband I buy snickers or other chocolate I wouldn't eat so even if I fancied something naughty there is nothing to eat except fruit or a muller light :-)

I don't tend to have a treat night as I think it sets me up for a bad week. I weigh in on Monday's so it is the start of the week for me. I did have a slab of cheesecake today, which worked out at 14 syns so I used that as my "treat" even though I am not going over syns.

It may feel like it is really far away but you will get there. You have already done amazingly! The thing with doing SW and actually eating healthy is so you can keep it off even when you are down to target.

Agreed on the Alpen lights - I actually prefer them and they are bigger :)

I gained 7lb in abut 6 days off plan when on holiday xxx

I think its the superfree for me. I never used to eat veg because I couldn't be bothered to make it so I am definitely cutting down on the high calorie foods in my main meal. Whatever it is, it works. That is good enough for me :)

Just stick to plan and have at least 5 syns per day.

I love slimmingworld and I would dread to think where I would be without it. It is a lifestyle change and I never feel like I am on a diet. I started properly again in September and have lost over 1.5 stone without limiting myself. The main key is 1/3 of your plate superfree and you can have...

I struggle with breakfast and I am never hungry so early in the morning. Some mornings I will have a boiled egg and then a little later a yoghurt and an alpen bar. Most days I just have an alpen bar.

Thank you for the advice, I feel like im cheating but I love cooked/wilted spinach and I have it most days. I don't want to be cheating but it is more than 1/3 if not half a plate before being cooked! Thanks again

Silly question I know but I have been thinking about spinach and I have been using about half a large bag with each meal but then when it wilts, there isn't much there. That is no problem for me as I enjoy the taste more when it has wilted, but will this count as a third super free? Please...

Welcome back! Nice to see a new re-joiner :p

Those batchelors savory rices are good to take to go with the food that others take if you are stuck for time.

Hi, I cant help with the photocopies you have but the general rule is 1 syn per 20 cals for everything with no free food allowance. Good luck

Well done for starting a fresh now and not waiting until after Christmas! You should be proud!

Totally agree on writing everything down, no matter how bad you have been. I once had up to 60 syns in one day but I wrote it all down and then adjusted accordingly and still managed to lose. I dont agree with this but what I am saying is no matter how bad you have been, write it all down :)...

Hi, well done on your first week's loss! You could weigh then in the morning and come back for the evening chat. I am sure that would be OK with your consultant. I find it easier to get weighed and then stay for the image therapy alltogether. Making two trips to class in one day could wear...

Well done! Amazing!

Good luck! That sounds awful but I am glad all is well.

As veggies that you would have had with your meal I think that you have only put carrots and peas, peas are not superfree I dont think so you have only had carrots with one meal it appears so not enough superfree.

Like this! Ha ha

Good luck, you have done it before so know how to do it again! :)

Well done! Proud of you!!!

My binge would have been much worse than that but well done for recognising and moving on :-)

Good luck in your start! I find slimming world so easy to adapt to when all you are doing is just making healthier choices. Good luck

If I was you I would just mentally draw a line under in and continue determined to achieve. Everyone has low points like this, I know I have, but try to write it off and start a fresh! A food diary would also help you to see where you are going wrong. Good luck.

Meatballs and pasta with ariabata sauce and cheese.... mmmmmm

I <3 my actifry and use it every day for me and my husband, he likes oven chips, not in the oven but only in the actifry, best buy ever!!!

Good luck. On the veg side can you make into a soup perhaps and have it that way. I am not a big veg fan so I make into sauces and soups to cover my food in and eat it that way. I do eat a lot of salad though so I make up for it that way. We are all here for you xx

Stay strong! Good luck xxx

Oh my god. I welled up reading your post. I am so so sorry for your lost. You will get back to target, just take it slowly to begin with. You already have succeeded before so you know exactly what to do. Good luck xxx

Hi Liz, I hope you are finding today going well. The good thing about Slimming World is that it isnt a quick fix it is a lifestyle change which really helps you lose the weight and keep it off. Good luck!

I love this crafty little utensil, must say I use it pretty much every day. Also really good for cutting carrots and cucumbers :-) Thanks again for recommending.

Well done you!

Hi, You have already lost weight according to your stats so you do know how to do it. I know that feeling but what worked for me is writing it all down in my book, no matter how naughty I had been and actually counting up the syns of what I had. I now find it an achievement when I have...

30 days today and 100%, cant say that will remain the same after Saturday night, hubby's 30th so I have planned to flexi-syn. Lets hope it works!!!

Hi, I think the holidays can be used for two weeks only, or it is something like that. Just go back to group. My leader is always so welcoming when I return. You shouldn't need to pay again, you can just start again as a new member and a new starting weight etc and then just pay from the day...

Pasta n sauce are great to take to work when you can't be arsed. Just wack them in the microwave for 8 mins with boiling water and they vary from 1 - 2 syns I think per pack. Just be sure to pack out your lunch with your 1/3 superfree :-)

I think the ones will 5 bars in them are 3 syns and the bigger bars 3 per pack are 6 syns but may be wrong!

I think it is something ridiculous like 11.5 syns per slice. Scrummy Medium Thin Crust Pizza, sliced into 8, per slice - 11 syns - Taken from SW website.

If I have syns left over from the week, I will treat myself on a Saturday and use them. I have consistently lost weight each week and until it becomes a problem, I will continue! I think it is best to just judge what is best for you

Agreed

As long as the fat is removed they are free :-)

WOW!!!! That was amazing. Well done you for doing it and sharing with everyone!!!

Hi Apryl, I cant find anything for denny crumbed ham but other crumbed ham is free: Tesco, Crumbed Ham, chilled, 100g Free Richmond, Crumbed Ham, chilled, per slice Free Tesco, Finest Wiltshire Crumbed Ham, chilled, 100g Free Waitrose, British Crumbed Ham, chilled, 100g Free...

That isn't good for vegetarians!

I just bought one of these after your recommendation and I can't wait to use it! Thanks! The potato chipper, I already have the actifry

Ha ha, agreed here! For me it has been Alpen bars so I knocked them on the head, all was well. Now I have started having one of those hifi mint bars a day and it is back again! It is horrible! I feel your pain!

Personally I love Frylight butter in my actifry with chips, takes about 20 mins but they are lovely!

All looks fine to me. I did notice that with your jacket's at lunch, sometimes you aren't having the 1/3 superfree. Also with the chicken curry did you have your 1/3 superfree?

Great idea!!!

I used to do this all the time but it really did impact my weight loss. Now I stick to not binging and enjoying food that I can have that still feels naughty. Or even have less of the superfree which still feels naughty but is still being good on that specific day. Its how you feel works for...

Hi MartianMallow, I myself am back on SW again after falling off the wagon on and off over the last few years. I am back now and committed. You will be so suprised if you stick to plan in your first week and then see the difference on the scales. Myself and friends have lost 7-9lb in our first...

You will not regret it, I also use mine everyday for chips/roast potatoes and veg. I use frylight, the butter version. So scrummy

I made a batch last week and first taste it was OK but couldn't manage much more than that. It was very grainy and I couldn't work out what that was. I am not a fan but for those that love veg/soup it should be good :p

Good idea, thank you x

Thank you all for the positive comments. I am feeling much better after reading all these. I have my first weigh in tonight, I really have stuck to the plan for the last two days. I knew I was on holiday and at a wedding for the first part of the week so I knew this week wouldnt be a great...

Oh my god, that is amazing. The gain cannot be helped when pregnant so good to see you ready to start again when baby is here. Yes, I am back at Group so I will be getting lots of support there. Second meeting tomorrow :-) Thank you for replying and for your kind words!

I have been with Slimming World for over a year now and I actually weigh more now than when I started. The problem is I lose one week and then gain for a couple and then go back to group and lose again but go off track again and put on again. I am up to 15 stone and I find it disgusting. My body...

I had this the other day from Tesco with a big salad. Tesco Cod And Chips 360G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries It was so nice and tasted just like the real thing xxx

Hi, I have heard that the average to lose is between 2-3 lbs a week. This would be a healthy amount to lose each week. I am not sure not eating the three 100 cal snacks will have on your loss but just see how it goes. I have been doing it for about three weeks now and I have lost about 7lb...

I feel exactly the same, not long until my holiday now so would like to lose 2 lb a week. What phone do you have an iPhone?

Hi Nattycat, I can relate to your post but SW does work when you are committed. I am the worst person for it as I stick to it, lose some weight and then celebrate and put lots back on! I am my own worst enemy. I am determined now to lose the weight and be healthy more than anything. I have...

Wow thanks for that charl_young. That makes me feel so much better, after not succeeding at group I decided to start a fresh from home. I started on Saturday and going well so far. Reading your post made it feel "OK" to do this so thanks for that! :p

Hi, Well done on getting your stone that is amazing! Do you mean like a chicken Chow Mein or something. They are quite low actually. According to the thread below about 7 syns. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-eating-out/281448-chicken-chow-mein.html

Oh my god, I made the meatball pasta bake last night for lunch (and to put in the freezer) and oh my god it was yummy! And FREE with HEX A for cheese. Nicest recipe from magazine (the last edition) so far! xx

I know, I have no idea how to do this though. I will have a look later! Thanks Sadie :rolleyes:

Of course, I had a gallette last night, I didnt finish updating my diary at that point ;)

This was supposed to be under food diary's. Does anyone know how to move it or to delete thread that you start? The wrong one came up under food diary's and this one here. Thanks Sadie xxx

Hi all, I never seem to stick at anything so I thought I would start a food diary. Here goes: 06/03/13 - PP B - 1 egg, scrambled with skimmed milk L - Chicken breast S - Ham D - Steak (fat removed) S - Oatbran Galette, SF jelly, FF yoghurt D - Water/Coke Zero :p

Thank you so much for this tip. I have had perfect poached eggs ever since :)

I too dont get hungry in the morning when I leave home at 6am. 9am - Alpen Light Bar (HEX B) 10.30am - Banana 12pm - Jacket potato with beans and babybel light/Pasta n sauce mac n cheese packed out with chicken or ham and veg/left over spag bol etc. 2pm - Apple and Muller Light 4pm Babybel...

I like to snack on mug shots (sweet and sour is yummy having one as we speak), muller light yoghurts, fruit, options hot chocolate, chocolate jumbo snack a jack (3 syns), lots of yummyness to choose from :D

So what did you do? Put them into cling film into the water? Mine never seem to go right but I love poached eggs!

What are garlicy burgers? Just burgers with garlic? Sounds yummy!

I am having either tuna pasta (with synned mayo) or Linda McCartney sausages (I am not a veggie), smash and beans :o

Hi Emma B, I am getting on well thank you. Really committed to starting fresh and sticking with it and FINALLY losing the weight. I missed my WI class this week as I was stuck at work but hoping to see some results on Tuesday. :p

Thanks for this thread, I often fancy something other than water but always worry about hidden syns. I usually drink water during the day as I have given up caffeince as TTC. Of an evening I buy the cheapo 17p sparkling water from Tesco and have it with squash as a "treat" It is quite nice...

So nice reading all your stories to know I am not alone. Sending love and good luck to you all. Been TTC for just over a year. I also have 3 stone to lose. Being depressed about one thing or the other always leads to food but I am making a committment now to lose this weight before I get pregnant.

My story is exactly the same as yours, I rejoined last night weighting a pound over what I did when I last started (lost 7+ lb after last join as well). Good luck :D

Welcome Emma B so glad to see your enjoying it. I have just rejoined slimming world! Top tip is to eat free food, following on from what the first poster said, but there are also a lot of quick (kettle/microwave) foods that are good for when you are caught short and most of these are free...

I will join too. I like the idea of starting a fresh. I am always starting fresh on Monday and blowing out Thursday - Sunday. Its actually made me gain weight doing this. I started yesterday and was 100%, also today I am planning on being 100%.

I am addicted to this sauce at the moment. Is is a real sweet BBQ tomato(ish) sauch. Here are the ingredients: 1.5 small onion, coarsely chopped, 1 tsp lazy garlic 250 ml carton Passata 1/8 (2 oz) cup sweetener 1 tablespoons white wine vinegar 0.5 teaspoon Colemans English mustard powder 0.5...

1.5 on but considering the junk I ate last week I am not suprised! Need to remember to prepare my meals in advance!

Oh Lucee47 I feel your pain. I work in London and all I have near me are the same and a Snax (really greasy but gorgeous food). I am being really good now so I will go to Sainsbury's and get a packet of ham. Pasta n Sauce by Batchelors are a god send as most are free of pretty low syn. I...

I also am a PCOS sufferer!

Hi, I am glad to hear that they are working with you to try and help you TTC. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for the last year with no luck. My BMI is also over what it should be so I am working at trying to get that down. I know how hard it is but stay strong. We can do this!

Hi all, I am new to this and new to slimming world. Started in June but havent really done it since so havent lost much weight but I joined the meeting last week so I am dedicated and going to stick to it now. Would like to lost 14lbs by Christmas. Thanks

Did you find out how much these are? I am having these for dinner tonight!

Hi everyone, I am new to slimming world. Started yesterday. I had a good day yesterday and have started OK today, even though I am hungry! Would also like to have a buddy!

Hi everyone, I am Sadie, I am 25 and also newlywed! I have gained a little weight post wedding and would like to lose it as well as the extra three stone I have been carrying around the last few years. Ideally, I want to get myself fit for the future. I weighed myself this morning and was...
