I have to bypass the cakes section;).... I don't know if I have the willpower to resist the scones!!! Lol xx

Aww you have to have a bit of what you fancy, I don't think i'd of stayed on track otherwise. I have such a sweet tooth!! (Typing this whilst eating banana's and custard... Lol) I can't wait to try it:) I love my frothy coffee's!! I saw that you were trying the hazelnut mixed with a cadburys...

Hi hun, We have started making larger batches of chicken curry/chilli con carne/spaghetti bol and then freezing the leftovers for extra meals through the week (e.g last Saturday's curry, made an extra meal for Wednesday where we had jacket potato and chicken curry). You can also pick up lots...

Lol it must just be men!! I made some SW brownies and after eating them with no complaints, I told him they were "SW friendly" and the look of disgust on his face…. as if he was doing a bushtrucker trial haha! Aww bless him. You have done really well, 2 stone is fantastic!! I wouldn't worry...

Hey hun, Yes you can still have chicken if you do a Red or Extra Easy day, but if your doing a green day it's 113g raw weight as a HxB. Your chicken curry looks lovely hun!:) xx

That's what I love about Minimins, everyone's very supportive! 1 slice 800g wholemeal loaf would be your HxB. HxB = 60g Wholemeal bread, so 2 slices of 400g wholemeal loaf. Usually 1 slice of a 800g loaf weighs about 48g, so some people will chop off the crusts/ends of another slice or they...

Hi Hun, Congratulations on the 3lbs loss this week!! I think it's wonderful that your OH is joining you on SW. I'm trying to get my Dad on plan, although i've sneakily been cooking his bacon/eggs/chips with frylight for a while;) …. If I mention it's a "Slimming World" meal, he instantly turns...

Hi hun, (I hope you don't mind me replying to you on here, I didn't want to but in on Vintagepockets diary:) ) It's so nice to hear about your studies as i've often kicked myself for not studying A-levels after school and going to University. I'm 23 and although I know i'm still young, i'd...

Aww thanks for the recipe hun. It sounds so nice!:) I love those pre-chopped soup mixes. They're so handy! I'll have to keep my eye out for it in Morrisons, I usually get mine from Asda. xx

Oh my gosh, it's so good!!:D I use the recipe in the Extra Easy Cookbook, (which I think is the same as this Slimming World Recipes: Slimming World - Chicken Noodle Soup) The only difference is I usually leave it to simmer for 25 mins, then add the vermicelli rice noodles, leave it for another...

I was just reading your earlier post about why you chose to join slimming world, and it's very similar to my own. (I'm 23, I also decided to join after my mum lost 4 stone with SW, were both target members now but we follow from home) Have you joined a group or are you following from home? Aww...

This is excellent news! At least you know now that what they have done is completely wrong and they can't get away with it!:mad: xx

That definitely is a big no, no… how can it be an agreement without giving you a hard copy of the contract. I was actually asking my Dad about this earlier (as he's quite good with this sort of stuff) and he said the same as me, whether it's a car on finance or a mobile phone, with everything...

Hey hun, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your SW journey, but I can see your already doing amazing! I saw your earlier post about meal idea's, there's an amazing thread on the recipes section...

Aww thanks hun! Let me know how you get on with them:). xx

Awww lovely! Be sure to post the recipe if you get round to making it, i'd love to have a go! Sorry to hear hun:(, i'm going to catch up on your diary now - so i'll reply more on there. xx

Hey Lovely's! Now if you know me, you'll know that my biggest weakness is scones. I absoloutely LOVE them, but unfortunately there quite high in syns. I've tried a few of the SW scones recipes e.g. Yoghurt scones, but they've never turned out very well for me and as a fussy scones-critic... my...

I WI today (As i'm maintaining, I try not to WI too often because when I first reached target I was a serial weigher! Now I just like to keep my eye on it) and i've lost 1lb, i'm not sure how when i've been eating lots of goodies (apple strudel and custard, vanilla slice etc!!) I'm putting it...

Jacket potato and chicken tikka masala. X

Bleurgh, still not feeling too good - thankfully feeling a little better than yesterday. Couldn't manage breakfast/cup of tea again, but managed to eat a Mullerlight in the afternoon. Please go away Mr evil bug, I want my appetite back!:( Tuesday 8th Jan 2013 (S) = Speed (SS) = SuperSpeed...

Awww no, i'm sorry about all the car trouble. I would definitely try Citizens Advice, see if there's anything they can do, or at least point you in the right direction. I'm still shocked they didn't give you any paperwork/signed copy of the contract. I hope it all gets sorted soon! Foods...

I've still not tried the Hazelnut and Caramel, it's only Tesco that has them on offer at the moment, so i'm hopefully going to nip in tomorrow. I think it's just Tesco that stocks the unsweetened at the moment (it's on offer 3 for £3 too) but like you, I don't use much milk, i'd never get...

It's so wrong, they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it:(. Similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago, when I eventually got the paperwork through, it wasn't what I had agreed, they had added payment protections and added interest, I was NOT happy, so I know exactly how you feel...

I can't wait to try the hazelnut! Have you tried the vanilla?:) Also, I can't remember if it was you who said the Alpro soya almond milk was quite sweet? Tesco's now have the unsweetened version. I didn't have time to go shopping this afternoon, so hopefully they'll have it in tomorrow. (S) =...

Aww that's not on hun. Something similar happened to me, it ended up being a payment protection they added without my consent. Have a read through your contract hun, there should be a 14 day cooling off period! .X

Hi hun, just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your SW journey. My downfalls are when I don't plan my meals, I always make bad decisions when i'm not prepared. If I could give you any advice, try to plan your meals for the week in advance. Also, if your going shopping/cinema/out for a...

I never thought of it like that, it's so true! xx

Hi hun, just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your SW journey:) .X

Awww no! I'm not surprised you haven't spoken to him since. I know it's not always what you want to hear, but you are so much better off, you deserve somebody who is going to put as much effort into the relationship as you. Aww don't worry, I was the same. I had those little voices "have you...

Hi hun, just popping on after a short absence to say hello and happy new year! Congratulations on your engagement!! What a wonderful way to start the new year:) xxx

Happy 2013! …It feel's so strange writing that! I have to say, when I left Minimins in October, I decided it would be good for me, relaxing, not writing down every syn, enjoying the run up to Christmas, but the truth be told I miss having a food diary, reading your food diaries, sharing recipes...

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had an amazing Christmas. I've not been too bad over Christmas, but i've definitely rekindled my love for mince pies and have raided every Roses tin in sight for the Dairy Milk's;) (Is it just me or are the tin's much smaller this year?!) I'll...

Hi hun, Happy New Year!! and I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas. Sorry i've been missing... I wasn't abducted by aliens (honest! Lol). I've not been very well with my Fibro, so i've just been resting over the Christmas period. I've just been catching up with your diary and i'm so sorry to...

Hi hun, your weight fluctuates throughout the day - and sometimes not just by a little bit, but occasionally by as much as 5lbs! The varied weight doesn't mean that you have gained weight over the course of the day, it could just temporarily be affected by the amount of food you've ate, fluids...

Aww, but a small gain is expected, you have to relax and treat yourself on holiday:D My weakness on holiday is the ice cream, it's EVERYWHERE! I have a few relatives who follow SW, so i'm thinking of planning a few SW nibbles for the buffet, I was thinking the farrero rocher's, mince pies, mini...

That's awful, surely there's something he can do, they shouldn't be able to get away with it!:( I hope you have a fantastic night tonight hun:D, I can't wait to hear how it goes! P.S The roast veg ratatouille sounds lovely! A bit of green day inspiration for me! Lol xx

Isn't it crazy how quickly you can gain weight, compared to loosing it?! Your going to hate me for this, but I somehow only gained 1/2 pound last year:confused:… even after having Christmas pudding, chocolate fudge cake AND trifle (just on Christmas day). To be honest, i'm not much of a snacker...

Aww no!! Double no! I'm really sorry about the boy loosing his job:( and I hope the reason your nan was being nice is because she's trying to make amends, maybe she's realised that she could loose all of you or she was very grateful that you went to visit her, she must of knew how hard it would...

Ahhh I get you:D It is complicated, but I totally get what you mean now. I only ever have turkey at christmas. I absolutely love christmas, counting down the days, it's the only time of the year i'll eat whatever I want and WONT feel guilty about it!;) Haha. Aww that's really nice then, at...

That's understandable, we completely went off meat when there was a large outbreak of Mad Cow's Disease in 2008, I remember being paranoid about eating infected meat lol!:eek: As you don't particularly have strong views against eating meat and your craving chicken/tuna, would you not consider...

I was just about to reply to your earlier message, then saw that the boy had cancelled tonights plan:( Still, I think it's lovely and a step in the right direction that he's made the effort to arrange to come round and have dinner with you, fingers crossed nothing comes in the way for Thursday...

I like egg fried rice…and I like pineapple… so I don't see why not:D. I meant to ask you if you've always been a vegetarian, when did you decide to become a veggie? Was it a slow process, like did you start by eliminating red meat etc, or was it a sudden decision? I noticed that you still eat...

P.S, I really want to try the Kara coconut milk, what do you think of it so far? (400ml's as a HX is great amount!!) xx

Aww i'm so glad it went well for you!:) I know what you mean not knowing what to expect, I think your mind can run away with itself too, worrying about what might happen and in the end it's always never as bad as you imagined. xx
