Thanks Susie, I'm on the social team so will definitely keep going every week. I really think group makes all the difference, I would never had made it to target on my own and I'm determined to stay there!

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who commented. I've weighed into tonight and have got my 3.5 stone and hit my lowered target with 1lb to spare - hooray! Now to work out how to maintain .....

Thanks Pete, all thoughts and experiences are really helpful. I'm going to see how I go this week and if I lose then I'm going to try and go for my 3 1/2 stone as it will put me smack in the middle of a healthy BMI, I'll have got another shiny and certificate and I'll be in the next stone...

Well this week was a maintain so didn't really help! I'm gonna see what next weeks brings but I am 95% sure that I'm going to lower target and lose another 3lb as I'm almost there anyway! Got myself the little book of lunches as a treat as I always struggle with them :)

Thanks so much. It seems so silly to have got target (which i already lowered once) and feel worried about a gain or maintain like you said and I know it's just a case of getting used to it. 90% of dieting is about what goes on in your brain as I know that realistically 3 more lbs wont make any...

Hi everyone, I'm a relatively new target member (15th April) having lost 3 stone since october 2012 but I keep slipping below my target range which is the top of the next stone bracket (target was 11.3 and I'm currently 10.13). My friends keep telling me that I don't need to lose more but now...

Very inspiring read

Honk!

Lost 3lb over the last 2 weeks and I am now 12 stone on the dot - hopefully I'll be in the 11's next week - a number I've not seen in over 8 years!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's good for people to find what works best for them as everyone is different. I did count them over a week once but I am worried if I did it every week then I'd lose control! I tend to stick to 10-15 every day and I do make a note so I know how many "spares" I have in case of emergency!

What a great idea! I've been doing SW for almost four months and other than a few small blips (a very stressful day and Xmas!) I'm pretty much 100%. So far 100% on board for January so fingers crossed the results keep coming in!

I made Body Magic my new years resolution this year and have started working towards my bronze award. I consider myself to be "allergic" to exercise :D so am starting very small. I'm doing 20 minutes on my wii fit (using the EA active) and am doing the 30 day challenge and am over half way...

1lb off this week - I'm slowly getting there! This is usually my plateaux point so I'm expecting the next few pounds to be the toughest to shift! I've started doing body magic since new years so I know this can slow losses down at first then hopefully pick things up. I'm only doing 20 minutes 4...

Jacket Potato with Smoky Chilli Beef and Beans and my HEa of grated cheese - nom nom nom!

I've been doing SW for almost 4 months and I still do a food diary. I used to use a notepad but I just use the online food diary now via the mobile site on my phone as I'm lazy and used to keep forgetting my notepad! Find what works for you - I think it helps to keep me focused personally :)

Honk!

Honk!

Honk! :)

I think I'm a tad obessed too, although I think of it as "focused"! My mum tested me yesterday on random things in her cupboard and I could list the syn values of pretty much everything off the top of my head! Saddo eh?! :D

Bean and Bean Hot Pot - yummy! Really needed some comfort food in this weather!

Honk! :)

Honk!

I had the chicken katsu curry from the slimming world site and it was yummy!!!

Lost 1.5 this week and am now 12.4 - just 1lb to go to my 2 stone award!

Honk!

I reckon so - sounds yummy. I was thinking of trying it with white chocolate and maybe coconut essence or putting some raspberries in it, there are so many different options!!

Thank you! I've got to 12.7 before when I calorie counted a few years ago but I was so fed up with being starving and was happy enough with my loss that I stopped. This time I WILL get to target!

3.5lb off this week - very happy with that as I had two weeks holiday over Christmas so hadn't been to group since middle of December and I am officially the lightest I've been for over 7 years!

Woohoo - first weigh in since the middle of December and lost 3.5lb! Updated list **punk*~*star** 14lb (4lb lost, 10lb to go) *Louise* 8lbs (0lbs lost 8 to go) *sparkles* (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) 3106Catherine 12lbs (0lbs lost, 12lbs to go) ally_88 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Amy_Maria...

Honk Honk!

It was really easy! Just melt dark chocolate, separate the eggs and whisk the whites to soft peaks, whisk the yolks with sweetener and peppermint until thick and light and then fold in the chocolate and egg whites and place in the freezer for 2 hours. I topped mine with a dollop of fat free...

I'm currently addicted to Cherries and Berries low sugar squash. It's really lovely warm with mulled wine spices as a syn free (and alcohol free) version of mulled wine over Christmas. I also love flavoured teas especially peppermint and twinnings camomile, vanilla and honey and I stock up on...

Wow, how I have missed this, it looks yummy and full of my favourite things - meat and cheese! Will have to give this a go soon :eat:

The Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Mousse from this months Mag (Jan/Feb 13) is delicious. It's just dark choc, sweetener, eggs and peppermint flavouring (extract or essence) and is 3.5 syns per serving

They are basically squished up beans and aren't spicy (although you could add chilli powder etc if you like) and you can heat them on the hob or microwave. MY OH doesn't really like the texture so he spreads some in his wrap but I can quite happily eat them on their own although they are more of...

Hollandaise sauce (from the Little book of Sauces) - 1 Low fat Spread (1 tbsp) - 2.5 Velvet Crunch - 4 Creamy Onion Sauce (also from Sauce book) - 3 Greek Style Muller light - 0.5 11 so far today which means I might treat myself to a party ring or two ( 1.5 each)

The WW Petit Pan rolls that need to be oven baked can be used as a HEb for 1 on Extra Easy (I don't do red/green so not sure about those) but I don't know about the ready made garlic breads, sorry. I've made my own garlic butter with low fat spread, dried or fresh garlic and dried herbs and...

This may well have been posted before (sorry if so) but I was so happy to find out that the Old El Paso refried beans are free! This means I can make my OH fajitas or enchiladas which he loves and I can just have chicken in sauce/spices with veg and then loads of beans - woohooo!!!

Honk (times 6 as I've been on target everyday since 1st Jan - and only had 3 days off plan over Xmas/New Years) :D

For the best time ever I started a "diet" without a goal in mind. The first time I seriously lost weight was through exercise (going out clubbing 4 nights a week so hardly serious training or effort) and was the lightest I'd been since I was about 16! I also lost 2.5 stone a few years ago when I...

Pretty much any veg really except sprouts which are the devils food! Currently I'm eating loads of mushrooms, onions, leeks, butternut squash, spinach and courgettes. My only problem is my OH is a bit veggiephobic (except for onions, peppers and root veg) so I usually have to grate them or chop...

I am a massive foodie - I could never stick to a diet which made me feel deprived which is why any weight lost I've lost before though calorie counting etc just seems to just pile back on once I stop "dieting". I think it's about a shift in perspective that no food is bad when eaten in...

Tonight I had Gammon cooked in Pepsi Max in the slow cooker (so tender it literally fell apart) with roasted veg (parsnip, courgette, carrot and potato) and creamy onion sauce (3 syns). Pudding was a muller light and banana. The sauce was lovely, I really am rating the little book of sauces at...

I've just had a HUGE plate full of SW chips, salad (lettuce, spring onion, tomato, cucumber), rump steak and "au poivre" sauce from the sauce book, followed up with the Chocolate and Peppermint Mousse from the Jan/Feb magazine - delicious and well worth the 3.5 syns for pud :)

I LOVE stuffed Mushrooms! You can add anything you fancy to them so I wouldn't worry too much about following a recipe as pretty much anything works. My favourites are quark, onion, garlic, bacon/ham and cheese, Sun-dried Tomatoes (or any tomato is you want it syn free), Basil and Mozzarella or...

Hello everyone. I'd like to join please (although I'm a bit late as I entered the 12 stone bracket before Christmas!). My last weight in had me at 12 stone 9lb and I'm next weighing in on Monday 7th. I had a two week holiday over Christmas but was only off plan for 3 days in total so I'm hoping...

Slightly addicted to these :) I finally managed to find the vanilla flavour in Sainsbury's yesterday and it's lovely. Currently supping a cup now!!

I got some yesterday - they are yummy! Gonna pop one in the freezer for a bit tomorrow to see if it's like Turkish Delight Ice Cream :D

Hi, I'd like to join please. It's my boyfriend and I's 5th anniversary on the 13th and we're going away for a few days to celebrate. I'd love to lose 10lb by then as that will take me into the next stone bracket which is something I've not seen for around 7 years!

Thank you! I went for the Leggera Pizza in the end and despite eating out three times I had a 1.5lb loss this week so I'm happy with that!

My OH is out and he hates fish/seafood so I have just made myself a huge bowl of pasta with Prawn, Garlic, Mushrooms and Leeks with extra light Philadelphia - yummy!!

Very helpful - thank you!

Hi everyone. I'm just over two weeks into SW and I am loving it so far, my only struggle is going out to eat so I though I'd ask to check I'm working things out correctly! I'm going to Pizza Express at the weekend and I am torn between two options. The Pollo Pancetta Salad which is chicken...

I have my first ever taster group next Monday - any recommendations for dishes that go down well? I know some people are doing the KFC chicken and someone is doing coleslaw. I was think maybe a Syn-Free Salmon Pate with carrot sticks and maybe the Nutella scanbran bites as I won some scan bran...

Thank you - 2nd week was a 3.5lb loss! I got my half stone award and my first slimmer of the week - hooray! I'm going to set aside an evening next week to go through a few books and try some conversions so I will keep you posted!

Hello! I'm Bex and I'm almost at the end of my 2nd week on the SW diet and I'm loving it so far. I'm a total foodie and I love cooking and baking so I'm looking forward to trying all the amazing recipes I keep spotting as well as trying to convert some out of my massive cookbook collection...
