First weigh in back at group and turns out my good behaviour last week was well rewarded with a 5.5lb loss..delighted! I was really strict last week and kept carbs low (other than hex b).Did SP properly for 1 day but more or less did it every other day with the exception of sweetcorn and...

skewered raw meat and veg then cook under the grill. I marinated the lamb for a bit first in smoked paprika, Rosemary and garlic frylight....it was lovely and didn't take long to put together/ cook at all.

Cow on pilates did tried to kill me this morning...first attempt at the trimmer waist section and I'm pretty certain actually trimming my waist with shears would have been less torturous! B: bacon, mushroom, tomato, egg, baked beans L: leftover quiche with salad and roasted coquina squash D...

First attempt at SW friendly quiche and it was so tasty! B: 3 red onion & Rosemary sausages, grilled portobello mushroom, baked beans,egg fried in frylight L: roast chicken breast (skin removed), chickpeas, pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, raw brocolli D: syn free quiche with hex a reduced...

I love them too and they are a regular in our house!

Hi, they still come up as free on the tracker :-)

Work hellish at the moment but on the plus side a few of us are on diets and there for moral support when motivation slips! B: porridge oats made with water (hex b) L: last of the leftover pasta from earlier in the week with mixed leaves with balsamic dressing D: roast chicken breast (skin...

If only it was 6lb in total! It's 6 heavier than when I first start at group but I then went on to lose over 2.5 stone..so realisatically I've put on around 3 stone.....:eek: :cry:since around Feb 2013! I definitely need to stick at group and the secret facebook group that my consultant has set...

It was ok, not as big or as busy as expected (especially for January). Officially 6lb heavier than when I started slimming world in 2012...gutted but it is what it is and its going to get better from here. Up and running again on the website, which will be a great help but syns online only seems...

B: porridge made with water (hex b) L: Tricolore pasta with salad and EL mince, tomatoes, onion, red pepper, mushrooms, smoked paprika, garlic and splash of Worcestershire sauce with salad D: Chicken casserole with onion, mushroom, parsnip,carrot, peppers and salad with balsamic glaze (no idea...

Also in the same boat. I lost nearly 3 stone 2012/early 2013 and since leaving group have put all of it (plus a few more pounds) back on. I managed to haul myself back on plan on second January but couldn't actually bring myself to weigh myself until 11th January so have no idea how I did in...

Another day on track :) very quick stint in the gym today too (just over half an hour) so not amazing but better than nothing, especially given morning dog walk plus walk to and from work. B: 3 small boiled eggs, coffee L: carb heavy! Ham salad sandwich (hex b) with small amount EL mayo (less...

ooo need to try the double choc. Got mine in a big Sainsbury's. Irish Cream definitely my winner so far! They had some douwe egberts flavoured ones too. I was tempted by salted caramel, have you had it?

Today was a yummy food day, lots of winter warmers for a cold day: B: bacon with fat trimmed off, scambled egg, portobello mushroom, baked beans L: Butternut squash soup and ham salad sandwich with tiny bit of EL Mayo (less than 1 syn and hex b on bread) D: lean beef casserole (onions, peppers...

Out of interest did anyone find they struggle to lose weight/ have gains/ sts after switching back to carb friendly ee from sp?

I like the Irish Diet Yoghurts that don't have any added sugar. Was finding I was eating too many Mullerlights and whilst free the sugar content is shocking and my dentist mentioned I may want to cut back :eek:

The plaque is a fab idea, are you going to use blackboard paint on the totals bits? Shopping for a new car must be exciting. Well done on your amazing weight loss to date, you are doing so well x

thanks for the encouragement. Will keep my fingers crossed for good surprise on scales! :)

Weigh in day and 2.2lb down! We booked our holiday yesterday so I officially have 4 months to lose as much as I can. In mid May we are heading to Kuala Lumpur for 3 night, Borneo for 5 nights and Bali for 5 nights and I'm already excited. Plans for this week are back to the gym and back to class...

So glad it's Friday! I started dieting two week ago today but sadly only weighed myself for the first time last Sunday so have set that as weigh day. Whilst I feel better I stood on the scales this morning and only looked to be 1lb down :cry:...hoping for a miracle by Sunday morning! Still...

Looks like you had an incredible loss in week one, congratulations!

Bit of a crappy day to be honest but managed to stay on track... B porridge made with water and cinnamon (hex b) L baked potato with beans D tricoloure pasta with chicken, tomato, peas, sweetcorn and spices snacks- what I wish I had.... Wine (preferably intravenous!) chocolate, crisps. What I...

Always good to have something to look forward to, where are you guys thinking? You are doing so well, I'm sure you'll be at target by then! I hope to have lost at least 2.5 stone by the time I go away. Is the SP essentially a low carb option? Sounds like I should still be on roughly the right...

Started to look at holidays today; it seemed sensible given the icy blasts outside. Dates approved for May, which is so exciting but literally only gives me 4 months to get beach ready!...terrifying but will just have to do what I can, especially as I can't afford lipo!!! Current plan is looking...

She did. It was also pointed out to us by someone else at work. It became quite funny, especially as we had a few meetings together! :)

Turned up to work today wearing more or less the same outfit as my colleague..only I'm about 5 stone heavier!...eek. Still feeling pretty motivated although need to up the exercise and think about some smaller portions...sigh! B porridge made with water and cinnamon, banana L salmon, chick...

I always thought the walk of shame was following a night on the tiles still wearing outfit from the night before. In actual fact the walk of shame results from when an individual makes a last ditched attempt to run across the road before the lights change and loses one of their ill advised...

I think when you decided to stick with it you become more conscious of everything and likely more critical...hence evil mirror! The crisps are good but you need the tray thing the kit come with to make them work! Will see if I can find a name rather than keep saying thing! Stick at it! X

Going ok so far but wishing my syns will go a bit further..5.5 for a kit kat that lasted all of about 20 secs (despite trying to make it last longer by nibbling the chocolate off the edges first!). I suffer from impatience too and kind of wishing I'd already shifted a stone like those in biggest...

Well done on taking the first step! I've done similar to you in that I've lost weight and regained it (and then a little more) fairly regularly over the years. I'm in my second week of trying to sort myself out (trying from my old books but considering going to class) and am finding this forum...

I tend to find Im heavier just before I ge tmine so hopefully it'll go in your favour vs last week! Make sure you stay hydrated so your body wont feel the need to retain as much. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! x

Fab achievement, well done!

thanks for the encouragement, just so frustrating that I feel I'm now at the starting blocks before square one. I know beating myself up about won't help but had lost just nearly 3 stone last time and now have to do it all again...sigh. I have 25.5 weeks to try and I am feeling determined (for...

Weighed myself for the first time since October...8.5lb on....ouch! I am now heavier than I was when I started SW the first time in 2012. Nobody to blame but myself but no point in wallowing, just need to get on with it and shift it. I can do this and have done it before (frustratingly!) I want...

Popping by to subscribe. I'm the same as you..yo-young more times than I care to remember. I went to group September 2012-Feb 2013 and list 3 stone. Sadly I stopped and nearly two years on I'm back to square one having lost and gained constantly in the meantime. I've been following plan now for...

Extra lean roast beef with smoked paprika and garlic sweet potato wedges...served with veggies.

Breakfast- bacon, egg, red onion & rosemary sausage, tomato, hex b whole meal toast...yum snack- 2 satsumas, muller light Greek yoghurt Late lunch- corn on the cob, low fat super noodles (lazy) snack- pear, muller light Greek yoghurt...I'm a bit addicted to yoghurt! dinner- currently in the oven...

I love frozen fruit! I get frozen pineapple in sainsburys. Also I often blitz up some frozen berries and add either quark or fat free natural yoghurt and some sweetner to the processor. You have to syn for blitzing but it isnt many syns and the resutl is more or less instant frozen yoghurt...

Thanks for posting, this sounds lovely!

Day 8 and still on track, although still haven't weighed myself. The wind is wild here today; there were Christmas Trees scattered all over the street like bowling pins and the dog was beside himself with joy this morning with all the extra foliage to pee on and sniff at! Fruit and yoghurt from...

I often go for steamed sea bass with Thai herbs with steamed rice. Only real syn is the yummy chilli sauce that comes on the side

How are you getting on? As you will see from my radio silence I was up to usual antics....cringe! I am wrestling with whether to go back to class or not. Timings/ travel distances and cost all putting me off a little. x

So I went to Rome in October and pretty much stopped dieting at that point. I have now resumed and on day 7, although yet to stand ont he scales. This ridiculous yo-yoing has to stop. I have until July (my 30th) to sort myself out. Wish me luck x

Huge congratulations on reaching target! You look amazing and should be so proud of your incredible achievement x

Hi Miataiblue, don't mind at all. I really don't mean to sound unsupportive of him but it does my box in!sometimes I feel as though he thinks that my results are not the same because I should pull my socks up, rather than the fact that he's just jammy!!! Men eh?! Xx

Aware I've already posted today but I needed to vent. The OH has been in Barcelona with work since Tuesday. He has par taken in tapas, beer and an airport Burger King. This morning he weighed himself and he has lost 5.2lb since he left. He has not been walking excessively nor, as far as I am...

Arms aren't useful things right?!! I mean who needs arms..not me, I can barely lift mine today on account of Friday night Pilates class. The old me would have been sat with a nice large glass of wine after week from hell but the new Friday night me dissolves into a puddle whilst contorting (now...

Hit 15st 12lbs...over to the 15s but also off on holiday on Wednesday so may see you all again soon x

You are doing so well, keep it up xx

It would be rude not to let them win on occasion! I've just watched the semi final of bake off...it's like some form of torture! Was at fat burn class tonight at the gym...oh my lord, not only was I the only fat person in there but tomorrow is going to be interesting! :cool: X

Grilled gammon with quinoa,tomatoes, courgette, chickpeas and smoked paprika

Thanks Zafira, how's your week going? X

Weigh in this morning...3.3lb down, was hoping for more but it's still a loss! One week left until Rome. Was really hoping to have lost a min of half a stone by then to give me more of a cushion as really don't want to end up back over 16 stone. I have classes at the gym booked on 4 days this...

Teetering on the edge but can't shift the last half a pound to put me in the 15s...so frustrated! :( X

Hi, the Slimming World website gives you a 7 day plan for free. There are some great threads on here too that would help you come up with something (Petes Recipes and any of the syn value threads). Good luck! X

Spirits and diet mixers definitely your best bet. Prosecco or champagne not too bad either but mostly because the glasses are smaller. Have a great night x

Pickle is a brilliant name for a dog! Such a great reason to get out and about. Do you keep a food diary? It may help you keep on plan if you can see what you are eating and reflect back on either good or bad weeks. Hang in there, if it was easy then none of us would be here! X

So weigh in day isn't technically until tomorrow but I couldn't resist this morning...wish I had! Scales say I'm 0.2lb heavier than I was on Friday morning. Whilst I appreciate it's not a big difference I was really hoping for a better loss as this is week one properly back on SW, having dabbled...

Weekend shaping up to be pretty laid back, which is well needed after another manic week! Happily aching pretty much everywhere on account of Pilates but it's a good pain. Not long in from dog walk and kitchen scrubbed down ready for me to make soup for lunch (thinking spiced courgette). Went to...

Smoked paprika, tomato purée, splash of Worcester sauce and some ground cumin x

I tend to either syn a bit of sweet chilli sauce or I use a stock cube and herbs when I boil them to add flavour x

Think I'll have a play about with spices etc tomorrow. Some orange extract and maybe some finely grated zest might work with it too, or might sin a spoonful of honey and play around with sweetener...watch this space x

What an incredible achievement, huge congratulations!

These sound great, I'm definitely going to give them a try. Has anyone tried them with ginger?

I'm a fan of it but I find it can be quite hard to source. I have mixed it with milk/dark chocolate options in the past and put into little filo tart bases (two small squares in each mini muffin hole and brushed with either egg wash or just fry lite and baked gently until they golden brown)...

My other friend ensures me that you "toughen up" and get used to it....can't say I relish the idea of a toughened "under carriage"! X

Greek 0% or quark would work well x

Places hurt where I didn't know I had places! I was originally considering spin class but after a colleague announced she had a bruised under carriage following her first class I opted for Pilates instead...beginning to think I should have taken my chances....oww! X

Hi all, just thought I'd pop a note out to see if any of you are based in or around Edinburgh? I will be joining a local group in the next few weeks but used to find it useful speaking to people with different consultants and in different groups too. Additionally I am the fat friend and it...

Well done on your loss, from your diary it looks like you are doing really well x

Thanks, I'm definitely going to try to keep the diary going. I'm a bit flighty so likely to be good for a while then go with something else...explains a lot! :)

Congratulations on an amazing loss! X

Much like many of the posters on mini mins I have been overweight for pretty much all of my adult life; albeit by varying degrees on account of regular diet regimes before consistently throwing myself from the proverbial wagon (I believe some folks just fall or trip slightly!?). This is my...

Soo ridiculously tired today having had one of those restless sleeps that result from hyper real dreams...just can't shake the feeling of unease. Day 7 of shred and still going well. I'm managing the harder versions of nearly all of the moves with the exception of press up, which I still have to...

Still trying to dry out from the downpour this morning! Even the dog looked at me like I was a lunatic as I informed him it was walkies time! Another 2lb off and I should be so chuffed but i've been so good and really really worked on the exercise front, I think I was secretly hoping for 3.5lb...

Well done on the 3.5lb loss, really impressive loss and you are well on your way to that new dress. Hope everything goes well on Wednesday and good luck with vending machine avoidance!

Hi Steph, I'm sure you'll get along great with the support of all the people on here. Goodluck and keep us posted :-)

Was abruptly awoken at 4am by the other half sticking his finger in my ear in some kind of low blood sugar induced madness..not cool! Eventually got back to sleep when I was sure it was safe and he was loaded up on Muller Light. Alarm at 6.15 for day 5 of 30 day shred and today I struggled; not...

So it's week 8 on SW and I am 17.5lbs down. After a pretty gutting -0.5lb loss last week (yes I know a loss is still a loss but still!) I commenced on the evil that is the 30 day shred this week and completed day 4 of level 1 this morning. A few things you guys should know about me first: 1)...

I've started doing Callanetics twice a week and in the first three weeks I lost a grand total of 9.5 inches from the most random places on my body; I only started SW on week three of those weeks so not result of a diet. I absolutely love it as it's low impact so can still do it if you suffer...

Hi everyone, I'm 27 and coming up for week 3 on Slimming World. I've lost just over 2stone on a variety of other diets/ gym since last July but was getting fed up and my wee brother and his fiancee have been doing amazingly on SW so thought I'd give it a shot. I've roped my boyfriend into doing...

Hi, Im 27 and 3 weeks in on SW. All going OK so far but must admit to being somewhat impatient and wishing things would shift a little more quickly! I'm in HR, specializing in Recruitment and wondered (StarGirl1) if you have have considered temp contracts as a way of getting back in; you are...
