Congratulations Sheila!!!! Good things come to those who wait! You have been so patient and so hardworking but more importantly you are a support and inspiration to so many around you! So deserved! I wonder if you group knows how many people you care for and support online in our little minimims...

STS for me too....I am so pleased as I have been VERY naughty this week. Don't deserve it! Going on holiday for 10 days now...NO SW on holiday....will weigh in again in 2 weeks time...let's see!

Wow! These look fantastic!!!!! I can never have that kind of food as I need to save my syns for booze! I would kill for a pizza ...but not to replace my drinks for the evening....

BADLY I have a streaming cold am feeling sorry for myself and have eaten EVERYTHING I could lay my hands on...Mon and Tues were 100% days...then I just flipped on Wednesday...millionaire's shortbread at work, ice cream last night, a packet of peanuts...today choc cake, chicken skin, and I guess...

Bad news ...after a very good week...and only 2 minor steps over my syns I have put on 2lbs BOO HOO! Just need to be stricter and I am also going to investigate red days...just such a bore to have to look up syns again! Hope it goes well for everyone else this morning!

Great news Jenna...all that guilt for nothing topped with some delicious biscuits! ANY loss is a CELEBRATION!

me too! Mine is 36 hours away!

dearding, dreading, dreading weigh in on Sunday. I have tried hard but the scales show 2 pounds on....

good luck for your mri tomorrow....how long does it take to get the results?

That is just SOOOOO frustrating! So sorry for you and you are always so good with your food! The meds maybe???? If it is any consolation my scales are showing 3lbs on since Sunday!!!! Perhaps it is the change in weather!!!!

3lbs off for me this morning. Soooooo pleased! It has been a topsy turvy week. Big party on Fri night....really strict yesterday....Now I have to keep going!

Weigh-in tomorrow morning and I'm feeling anxious! Big party last night...no carbs for supper for me!

good luck for your day daisy....I was stuck in a rut for a long time and completely changed my eating this past week hence my good loss....so it may work for you too!

Beautiful pics...Glad you had a fab night out!

Thank you Ruth....Important thing now is not to rest on my laurels and keep it up for this next week. I get derailed over the weekends so a Sunday Weigh in is hopefully going to keep me on the straight and narrow!

I have lost 6lbs this week! I am over the moon! This is my second week since re-joining. I have had a 100% week...except for Friday night dinner out with friends. This is the biggest loss I have ever had since starting Slimming world last year in August. Total weight loss so far is 2st...

Looks like a great recipe. I really battle to eat my HEX B....this will solve it! Is it just plain ff yoghurt?

Good Morning everyone! I need to join this thread! I have just become a Sunday Weigher! Weekends are my very weakest point in the week so I guess this will help me pull the reigns in on Friday night and Saturdays! I joined Slimming World a year ago at 14.7 lbs I went to group for a year and lost...

Wow! You are an inspiration! 3 years is a long time to be committed to this diet! I have lost 2 stone over a year and I still have about 1 and a half to go....My goal weight is also 11 stone!. I think you are fantastic for having stuck at it so long...I can't offer any advice...except to say...

I agree with Malc-D. Lose some of your weight first and then start exercising. My ankles, feet and knees could not support my upper body properly and took great strain initially. Can I also just say try to buy the best trainers you can afford....I learned the hard way! Good luck....I hate...

Just checked up on you Texty!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Fantastic weight loss...in the ELEVENS now!....WOW Great going!

I tried that, but it came out very hard....perhaps I over microwaved them!

I am desperate to get a cheesecake right! I want to use the quark/white choc options idea. I am looking for a recipe for that but more importantly I am looking for a low syn biscuit base....I would be grateful for any ideas....

What beautiful clothes! And also bathing costumes! What a shopping trip! Did you try them all on in the store???? that would kill me! I still can't face myself in swimming costumes...but I'm getting there! By the way I made a curry from the Asia book last night it was fantastic....Burmese...

Congratulations Texty! 2 lbs is just great! Did you make the Lemon Chicken from the Asia book? I made it tonight....with only 2 lemons...it was VERY lemony! I would be interested to know what you thought? It was easier to eat with lots of rice...but very acidic!

I always make a chopped tomato and onion salad...and instead of chutney I slice a banana over the curry...try it ...it is yummy!

1 SYN - bacon buttie Gluten free ciabatta roll - HEX B 3 bacon medallions - free 1tbs tomato sauce Kerry Low L0w Cheese and black pepper spread HEX A (only half...so I can still have 3 cuos of tea/coffee with skimmed milk! Yum YUm YUm!!!!

Glad you have been spoiled! My family spoiled me too with a SW meal! Thai sweet potato cakes on a bed of watercress with a lime and chili dip, Duck breast with fennel and apple salad and coconut pannacotta with mango coulis and chunks to end! They used my cook books and surprised me as I had...

Guess what is in my oven Texty???? None other than your Gammon recipe! Hope I get it right....What do you serve it with...It would need something sweet? Red onion and balsamic reduced???

I am not doing great....still stuck around 12:10ish....Gammon this weekend...can't wait! Have not been to group for 3 weeks because of work commitments....at a bit of a low at the mo...and that is not on the scales!!!! Thinking of writing a food diary cos I see how you have done...but don't know...

Wow! Fantastic Texty....you are doing so well...it is inspiring!

Sorry me again...do you think it is SYN free...is there no fat ????

Aaahh Thanks for this...Sounds delicious. I will try it this weekend....I will get un smoked to start. I don't have a slow cooker. but I do have a cast iron pot with lid to put in a very cool oven....about 160 for 4 hours do you think? Also what liquid do you put with it...just water?

Hello Texty Are you ready to have the gammon conversation? In your earlier posts in this Food Diary you often mentioned eating Gammon and it always sounded delicious. I have never cooked it as my children used to have it at school dinners and don't like it! Yours however always sounded...

Texty...have a fab evening! Well done on your weight loss so far...we started the same weight but you are way ahead of me as far as loss goes...I am not nearly as careful as you! I need to ask you about Gammon tomorrow...if you can face it!!!!!Have fun!

Fantastic ...Well done...so well deserved!

The worst is that I am still that person I just can't say no...and I just eat too much! I think I am going to have to start a food diary 'cos I can see how fantastically you are doing....I have had a pig out day....Eggs Bacon tomato and onion for Brekkie....Nandos for lunch skin free chicken and...

Well done again Texty....I also lost 0.5lbs...I was pleased with that! I am not as disciplined as you. I think your food diary is amazing...I eat much much much more than that! Keep going....I still have 6lbs to go to my 2 stone award! You?

Fantastic Texty....You are really motoring now! I lost 1.5lbs at weigh in on Tuesday. 6 to go to my 2 stone award! I am also working hard...and inspired by your success of late! Keep it up!

Wow That is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Well done! Keep going...Keep writing down! Your tenacity is inspiring.....

So sorry you are frustrated Texty! But glad all is well and that you have relieved yourself of some weight. I too am stuck around the 13 mark and don't seem to be able to move off it.....I totally failed yesterday (snow excuses!!!) but today I have been strict....so hoping for a small loss...I...

Could you not tell her how what she said made you feel....and that codeine has proven side effects of constipation etc....This kind of insensitivity really freaks me out! Why does she think you stay to group sessions?

Happy New Year TextyF....and good luck.....I put on 8 pounds over Christmas in South Africa! I have since lost 6 ...but still hanging around the low thirteen stone mark...desperately wanting to get into the 12s! You food diary looks amazing...I eat much more than that! Thinking of cutting down...

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! The Stock was great and it was cold enough on Sunday to cool it quickly outside! Made a yummy chicken soup. Like the look of the Chow Mein! Those breasts are still languishing in the fridge!

Cape Town/Knysna/Grahamstown ...How wonderful it was to be back!

I had a ball! I put on 8 pounds!!!! I am back and January is bootcamp month! Giving myself two weeks to lose those 8....so I can start from where I left off in Dec!

Any ideas? We roasted 2 chicken last night and no-one wanted the breasts! Have put the carcasses etc in to make a huge stock...but left with cooked chicken breasts! Any recipes gratefully received! Also...... I want to get rid of the fat in the stock.....can you advise how to do this if I don't...

Ahhh that is so kind of you all. Potato I had read your thread earlier about your holiday....yes I will have to do a lot of body magic!!!!! As you say I don't want to put it all on again...so I think the solution is to go carefully but not stress about food!

I am going to South Africa for 3 weeks over Christmas. My whole family is there and I have not seen them in 3 years! I am so excited but in a quandry as what to do about SW! I started SW 4 months ago and have lost 1 stone and 8 pounds. I am so pleased ...still have 2 stone to go! Here's the...

We just took my mother-in -law out for Christmas Lunch....not slimming world! Feeling quesy from the rich food - not used to it! BOOTCAMP tomorrow!

I am a serial weigher!!!! And the batteries for my scales have died...so I am not weighing so don't know how my week is going! Probably for the best! Trying hard though! Just about to cook KFC SW Chicken! Glad you are feeling a bit better

That is so awful! But with all that is going on for you perhaps you should just relax a little and take it easy...in order to get through the next few days. I am so sorry for your loss...do you have a good supportive group?

Ahh good luck tonight! Crossed fingers for you. So sorry you are going through a rough time...

Put on a pound this week...my first gain....so depressed! Back to the grindstone! How did it go for you?

1pound on for me...boo hoo...my first gain EVER!!!! Depressed!!!! Had a good week and tried hard except for Friday night! My family are shocked as they have seen me be good the whole week, while they eat their magnums after supper! Extra strict this next week!

This morning I awoke at 4pm...stressing about work...so now two hours later I am needing comfort food! Does thieakfally sound OK? Frylight...(about 10 sprays) 2 slices Weight Watchers bread for Hex B Kerry Low Low toastie cheese slice (1/2 Hex A) 2 medallions "be good to yourself" bacon a...

Thanks Holly's nan! I suspect you are right! I will do the homework about syns and measurements this evening! It has been a good day! Thanks for your support!

no...not at all...I just did not go to group cos I did not want to have a gain in my book! Pathetic I know!!!!! It is all a huge learning curve for me! This is the first time ever that I feel just a little in control of my life! I have lived a very carefree life up until now...and it is all...

I do go to group....and know that I need to..that is my motivation and my commitment....I understand that....It is just a bit uneasy as I am a teacher and many parents of my pupils go there....and I can't always be a role moldel in my private life! So I need to sit there quietly watching...

OK...I have really tried hard today and have kept within 15 SYNS....trying to imagine what only 10 SYNS would feel like. I am going to stick at 15 and see what results i get next Tuesday! BREAKFAST: 3 meatballs 4 big baby tomatoes 1 poached egg 1 banana 1 tea with skimmed milk HEX A (Changed...

Pleasure! I'm so grateful for your advice...better spent here than at group!!!

So I had the Alpen Bar! Nevertheless I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your support....this is the first time for the last 2 months that I feel like I am getting somewhere! Today we are going to Pizza express for lunch I will have the Pollo pancetta salad and remove the pancetta! I think...

250mls semi skimmed I have not yet had the hot choc...so will leave it and have my HEX B rather....I am just battling to understand the reasons...but I guess I must have faith that it will all work out! Yes the onlette would have been oil! So I will give it 2 SYNS and not have my teaspoon of...

It was one forkful of egg with 1 piece of bacon and a fine grating of cheese. Do you think this is more that 1 SYN? Yes milk is my hex A (2 measures in cofee and tea) and half a cup for the hot chocolate I have not had my HEXB today....I could go and fetch a 70 cal Alpen Bar....but would...

Shirleen, you are SOOOO right!!!! It is all about planning....and that is the bit I feel is difficult for me.... I have just looked at the SAS daily log and the over riding feature is DID YOU PLAN tto eat it! Anyway learnt my lesson and I am incredibly grateful to all the kind and supportive...

Thanks so much for your help...I am realising that it is near impossible to buy anytying pre-packed or pre-prepared without synning! And also to overestimate sysns is a good idea! Really going to work hard this week!

Thanks so much for all your input! I will look at some of them and perhaps do an online diary....I need to ask about HEX B....Do I really need to eat it? I get fibre in my veges....What reason do I ned to have it if I don't want to eat it? If I make a salad dressing with Olive oil and have a...

I just find the layout of the Slimming World Food Diary nonsensical. I need to see that each meal is balanced and the Slimming World format does not allow that. I did not go to group yesterday as I have been on holiday and synned greatly....so will go next week and pick up some diaries and try...

This is shocking! Wow! I have learned my lesson!

OK...thanks for pointing that all out! Tomorrow I will try to be much stricter! You are right in thinking that I am just estimating....and underestimating syns and healthy extras. Do I need to have Healthy B...even if I don't want it? Surely that is a waste? What is Healthy B for? I used to...

Thanks munchkins for your advice...Not possible to swap groups....unfortunately.... Problm is I am hugely addicted to food ...this is my first ever diet...so baby steps...just trying to stick to the plan. I over eat at the moment as I am so scared of snacking between meals.

Hello I was wondering wether anyone would be prepared to look at my food diary and advise where I am going wrong...My weight loss is SO slow and I am so frustrated! I don't want to do a food diary like our group leader wants as that makes no sense to me....but if I were to write out everything I...
