How's everyone doing? I'm struggling to find my right track too at the moment jen3.

I have frozen them and they seem to freeze really well as long as they have time to defrost slowly. I had to freeze them to stop me eating them all in one go!

Hi everyone. I stayed the same this week. I deserved it but was still a little annoyed with myself. Here's to a loss this week - fingers crossed!

Good luck for you weigh in! I hope it goes well for you. I'm really eating to stick to plan this week. I'm a terrible comfort eater which makes things difficult at the mo. I've taken my measurements now and horrific photos which I hope are going to become my before photos and plan to start doing...

Hi everyone, well done on all the losses. I'm severely lacking motivation at the weekends at the moment and although I haven't had a week where I have gained yet, eventhough I know I deserved it, I hate seeing that I have stayed the same again. My big problem at the mo is comfort eating, whether...

Maybe this is where I am going wrong. Maybe I've done all I can manage on my own and now I need the support of a class. One of my friends is exactly the same, she was staying the same for ages doing sw on her own, she's gone back to class and is losing 2-3lbs per week now.

Stated the same for me this week but I deserved it! Well done to everyone on you losses.

I can completely relate to this! I've been hovering between 12st 3 and 12st 4lb for a few weeks now but as soon as it has hit the weekend I have been on self destruct, sticking to my sw meals mostly but eating all kinds of rubbish chocolate, ice cream, danish pastries you name it in between...

Well done everyone! Only 0.5lb off for me this week but I can't complain as I've been quite naughty. Browsie 21lbs to lose 0lbs lost Mrstore 18lbs to lose 0lbs lost Tara40 21lbs to lose 0lbs lost Yummymummynot 21lbs to lose 6.5lbs lost 14.5lbs to go Aston 16.5lbs to lose 3.5lbs lost 13lbs to go...

Well done everyone for last weeks' losses! I only lost 0.5lb last week but I deserved it. I was a little bit naughty, in fact I was so lucky last week wasn't a gain. Back on track now need to be 100% all week.

Thankyou! I'd really love to break into the 11stones. The last time I did sw I stopped when I went on holiday and that was at the bottom of the 12 stones. So this time watch out 11 stones, here I come!!

Thanks to a very helpful thread I've just been able to make myself a Christmas Challenge ticker. All this is new to me!

Ooh I've never seen these before, thanks! I'm definitely going to have to try these another day.

Hi. I've done the 13st into the 12st earlier this year. Now I'm 12st 4.4lb and am pushing to get back into the 11stones. Can't remember the last time I saw those! When I was last doing SW last year I got down to 12st 2.2lb before I went on holiday but really struggled with the last few pounds as...

I'm thinkin of trying the cowboy pie recipe from the new slimming world magazine, but with real potatoes instead of smash. Has anyone tried it yet?

Well it's good news. Despite being more liberal with my syns this week I've actually lost 2lb and I don't feel like I've deprived myself this week. Maybe I've found my way forward :) How's everyone else finding their week?

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a good week. I've had to wi early this week as got a very hectic weekend but it was good news. 2lb off this week so now I have definitely lost my first stone :) 15.5lb off now. Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

Loving my scales too. Especially as I decided to weigh in a day early (doing sw from home) as have a very busy day tomorrow and the told me I'm down 2lb :)

Well done want to lose! I lost 1lb last week. Being more liberal with my syns this week, so i'll be curious to see the effect that will have.

Just made these with chocolate chips in making them 1.5 syns each. They were pretty taste but very flat. Any tips? Maybe beat them more?

Thanks for this kayleehollie and well done on the progress with our running. You're doing great! I must confess I haven't been running since but I am determined to do it, i just need to find a way to fit it into my daily routine. My friend did the Shefffield 10k on Sunday and I'd love to do it...

Thanks for a brilliant thread, this has helped remind me of some of the rules I sometimes forget :)

I find it really difficult to stay on plan when I'm stressed too, but don't write the rest of the week off. It was a little blip and now it's time to get back to it. I used to think I'd ruined everything when I fell off plan in a stress binge, but now I'm learning to change my mind set and...

I definitely agree with this! The last time I was in the 11st is a very distant memory now, I would be over the moon to get back into 11st. I hoping to do it before Christmas though! Good work on the target setting everyone. Stick at it and you'll get there!

I can't help it, I am now a serial weigher. Down ever so slightly on yesterday but that'll do for me. The challenge will be tomorrow after I've been to the pub for dinner tonight!

Bad day for me, I'm off to the pub for dinner. Better try and be good.

Banana and tofffee magic porridge and an apple.

1lb off for me this week. Slight disappointed as I would have liked to have lost 1.5lb to reach my first stone off but it was a bank holiday weekend and I did over indulge a little.

That sounds awesome. I really have to try this!

This recipe sounds awesome I'm going to have to give it a try! My problem will be stopping at just the one slice!

Hi everyone, I'm doing sw from home too so really pleased to find this group of like minded people :) I'm hoping to lose 1.5lbs this week to hit my first stone loss but I have a feeling that the bank holiday weekend might have scuppered me! WI on Saturday so the truth will come out then.

Lolahoop well done on achieving your goals you're doing great!

My current goal is to lose 1.5lb (hopefully this week!) to get to my 1 stone loss. Once I've done that i'm going to set more targets as would still like to lose another 2 to 2 and a half stone.

Definitely worth it. The support is great, especially as you may not lose the weight as quickly if yoi've for less to lose. Also sw is a great way to eat for life rather than a fad diet. Go along, see what you think :)

Well done on your weigh in! I was really good yesterday and even went for a run so feeling quite annoyed at the scales grr!

Oh pixie dust your pic of the biscuit barrell and cup of tea almost made me drool. I love biscuits, especially dunked in tea :)

Maybe chicken curry and rice tonight for me. Homemade so syn free, if only I could find my recipe!

Ooh that sounds lovely, thanks. I'll have to give it a try.

I had a sneaky weigh this morning too and was annoyed at my scales when they told me I had put a pound on since yesterday! I want to lose a 1.5lb this week to get to me 1st loss!! Better be good.....

Just realised I've disappeared off the list too. I'll put myself back in later when I'm at a computer.

Well done on all the losses this week. If you've sts stick at it and it'll pay off :)

Poached egg, baked beans, mushrooms and 1 small slice of wholemeal bread (part of heB) with extra light laughing cow triangle (part of hea) and hot water with lemon juice.

Good luck dawnee hope your weigh in goes well :)

Sounds lovely! How do you make your paprika chicken?

I have done with ww and sw and i do prefer sw. There's much less counting and weighing and it seems to be a diet that you can follow for life as just general healthy eating rather than a fad diet. Whatever you choose good luck!

Really like this idea thanks.

I'm not a fan of green tea but I have been drinking hot water with lemon juice in and that is supposed to have a similar effect. It's also really refreshing first thing in a morning.

Good luck! I've been doing slimming world from home and the sw mags and books are great for ideas and inspiration. Going to try a sw chicken lasagne tonight. I'm hoping to try to lose a pound a week until Christmas as i still haven't set an actual target yet but that would definitely be a step...

Should have said not sure what to cook!

Not sure that to cook. Maybe will try the chicken lasagne recipe from a sw mag and have it with salad.

Homemade pea and ham soup followed by cherries, strawberries and an activia banoffee snackpot (1syn).

Poached egg, half tin of baked beans and mushrooms followed by a banana. Yum :)

So I use the term 'run' quite loosely as my running usually involves 2 min running 2 minute walking intervals or whatever I can manage with warm up and cool down. But I went and did it and feeling quite pleased with myself now. Covered 3 miles in 36min apparently burning 478 calories. I even got...

Not sure. You can bake eggs in the oven so i guess the only way to find out is to give it a try. Or could you put the mix into a heat resistant bowl and then put that into a pan of hot water? A bit like poaching it?

Thanks for the pancake recipe these are amazing! I've had them for breakfast a couple of times with raspberries and strawberries and a bit of yogurt on top ... yummy! Even my husband likes them.

Please can I join in, I could do with something to keep the motivation going until Christmas. I weigh in on a Saturday so there are now 17 weeks until Christmas so i would love to lose 1 pound per week. I've added myself to the bottom of the list. Thanks everyone. Mrstore 18lbs to lose 0lbs...

I really try not to weigh myself during the week but sometimes I just can't help it and need to know just how bad I've been over the weekend!! I do limit myself to only getting weighed first thing in the morning though.

Evernote food is definitely worth a look if you haven't used it before. It also syncs with evernote to keep all your notes together. Great apps!

Thank for this thread. I've always known my reasons for losing weight but i've never written them down before. I hope to lose about 2 to 3 stone but I don't have a concrete goal yet, maybe more, maybe less depending how I feel when I get there. I want to lose weight as I've always felt very...

Hi everyone you're all doing great! Well done! I'm following sw, mainly ee and i'm a Saturday weigher too. Would it be ok if I join in? I really love how supportive you are of each other.

Thanks for the tip on evernote food. I didn't know there was such a thing but now I'm loving it! I'm using it to take pics of all my sw friendly meals and snacks so i have inspiration whenever i don't know what to cook.

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy!xx

Hi oasis6918. Yes I made it myself. It was based around a recipe from a sw magazine and was very easy to make. To serve 4 people you need: 400g frozen raspberries 625g fat free natural yogurt 28g cocoa powder Vanilla and or chocolate extract to taste Sweeter to taste Put frozen raspberries...

Hi 1978Emma. I hope your hp has helped you to sort out your sleep apnea. My Gp diagnosed me with PCOS about 4 years ago now. The diagnosis was based on blood tests to look at hormone levels followed by an ultrasound scan of my pelvis to check for presence of larger than usual ovarian cysts. I'm...

Hi. I have PCOS too and have been doing sw for around 3 weeks now. I do extra easy most days and i have lost weight every week since far. I'm looking to lose 2 to 3 stone to hopefully ease PCOS symptoms. Has anyone got any tips?

Thanks and will do. You're doing great jen3. Just been to my parents for dinner. Managed to resist the ice cream sundaes and have my 3 syns chocolate and raspberry sorbet instead.

Hi everyone, It sounds like you're all doing great and being really supportive of each other. I've been back on sw for about 3 weeks, just following extra easy on my own and weighing in on a Saturday morning (it makes me be good on Friday evening then!) I have about 2 and a half stone to lose...

Will definitely have to try that. One of my favourite desserts is the chocolate orange jellies sw recipe. As long as you don't add grated chocolate to the top they come in at 1.5 syns and they're great to fix that chocolate craving. 1 sachet hartleys sugar free jelly crystals - orange 300g fat...

I had a bash at making the hairy dieters pie last night and they were yummy and came in at around 8 syns each. Higher than I would normally want to eat but not bad for a whole pie as a treat....yum :) So I made a few changes to the recipe but it still made 6 pies. For the pastry I made pizza...

Hi everyone, I've been following slimming world on my own for about a month so far. I've mainly been following extra easy and been using tips from here. I was hoping with a bit of support I could stick to sw and try to shift the weight once and for all :)
