Thank you very much

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this thread as I can't find it's thank you very much ?

Thank you Melissa.

Thanks Rosiepops. I've bought some Alpen Lights to give them a try. Never tried them before as never thought they would be my type of food tbh. Have a boiled egg in my salad so ones enough for the day. Don't eat bananas either as they play havoc with my IBS. It sounds like I'm really fussy but...

Hi everyone. Just thought I would ask all you lovely helpful people out there for some ideas. I am fine with my meals , Breakfast - weetabix fruit and yoghurt Lunch- salad Dinner- meat and veges of some sort usually Snack- bowl of fruit But I get up at 5 to start work at 7 but tea break not...

As it's my birthday later this week, I am treating myself to smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and tomatoes. It was so yummy and decadent. All that was missing was the Bucks Fizz lol

The mushroom stroganoff from the free book with last SW magazine? I'm trying that later this week myself

That sounds very tasty. One to try next week. Thank you

Becki I would previously have used it in a crumble but you would need to stew it in some water and sweetener as it is quite sour. Personally I don't like sweetener and quite enjoy the sourness so I will need to experiment a bit. If I find a good recipe/ formula I will let you know

I was told it is 0.5 syns for 100g. I don't have access to the website so I'm only going on what I was told by another member. I love rhubarb too ...but usually with a crumble topping and ice cream lol

Forget all the above rambling. Just been told that you can have cooked rhubarb with sweetener instead of sugar for 0.5 syns YIppee

So rhubarb is super speed, but cooked fruit is synned. But I've been told that rhubarb is technically a vegetable and not a fruit. So is it ok to cook it as I love rhubarb but no way could I eat it raw! Any food scientists out there or SW consultants who can help me please

My delicious dinner tonight. Lean pork loin braised with red onion, courgette, mushrooms and green beans in beef stock pot. Seasoned with celery salt and cayenne pepper

Spicy chicken tagliatelle with carrots and broccoli

I rejoined 2 weeks ago but decided I'm not going back to group for personal reasons. But I want to continue on my own so would love to be one of your buddies! Since weigh in on Thursday I've been so down and upset and hating myself that ice ate everything that's not nailed down. But gave myself...

Love the idea of fat free Greek yoghurt with vanilla essence. I don't like muller lights because of the after taste of sweeteners. Greek yog on its own can be a bit boring so adding vanilla essence might work for me.thanks Hungry Hippo :-))) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

My first Mayflower curry was amazing. I've found my new Saturday night treat Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Oh I agree.......just can't do the sweetener thing at all. I've tried and tried but nah! All those ML yoghurts and stuff with sweeteners leave such a horrible aftertaste for me...... Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

First time for me but heard so many good reports about it! Also first time for the pulled pork, becoming more adventurous with my cooking with SW. I live alone so before I couldn't be bothered and lived on ready meals or other such nonsense. But even if it means I eat the same thing for days, I...

Mayflower curry with peas onions and mushrooms and SW chips. Was going to do pulled pork in slow cooker tomorrow morning for tomorrow's tea but just realised that I have no mustard powder, would ordinary mustard do instead anybody? Thanks Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Vegetable curry made with BNS, cauli, green beans and carrots. And some brown rice. Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I did SW a few years back and lost 3 and half stone, doing mostly red days and lots of exercise. Put most of the weight back on due to laziness and too much wine and little will power. Restarted 4 weeks ago and tbh only lost 4 1/2 pounds so far but January/ February not good months for me due to...

Hi there...I'm over 50 too......well over tbh. But I'm finding it very slow going but it is worth sticking too as it is a great plan for life. I find exercise the hardest to fit into my day as I won't go to the gym but love to walk myself. However the cold wet snowy dark nights are not helping...

I'm doing the same Sugar but have my other halts birthday next weekend and mine 2 after that. So will break my vow of abstinence for those occasions, otherwise alcohol free for me......I find after a couple of glasses of wine I lose self control and the crisps (large packets) make their way...

I find it worse in work as its a long way to walk with my legs crossed .......don't half get some funny looks too Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

If I'm in the right mindset I can ration the chocolate as long as I have a bit every day ! My downfall is after a few glasses of wine I could polish off a BIG bag of crisps......so it's step away from the wine rack! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Best news I've had all day! :-) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I'm the same but also up all night which isn't so good! Lol Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Still worth trying even if high in syns. I would cut them in 2 or 3 and spread them out over a few days, thus satisfying my chocolate craving but not overdoing the syns...simples! :-)))) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Lol.......same here! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I am going to get them and cut them in half to share with my daughter. So only half the syns for both of us! But thanks very much for spring the syn value :-) xx Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Oh dear hon, I'm the same but have been an insomniac for years anyway so I'm used to surviving on little sleep. Try changing your reading material to something non SW related and a couple of Nytol tablets after a hot bath......sometimes works for me xx Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I'm the same but I'm hoping its only because its all new to me. I'm off work today but still up at 5.30 with my mind racing. I'm going to buy a notebook today and write everything down then hopefully I won't forget what I had planned just 1hour before :-) Good luck hon xx Sent from my iPad...

Beautiful hot tasty stew .......and have another bowlful for tomorrow night too :-) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I'm there! I love curry.......now what to make? Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Bought a blender at the weekend and used it for the first time today. I haven't got an Actifry and tbh as there's only me, probably wouldn't use it that much. Lucky you to have a loving supportive husband. It must make it easier for you. I have my 3 grown up daughters who try and encourage me...

I must look at that website 365crockpot......I'm sure I cold use quite a few of them lol Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Stew just put on in the slow cooker so will be piping hot and delicious when I get home tonight. Full of carrots, celery, parsnips and onions with some lean stewing steak. May have on its own or may have some smash with it. But my mouth is watering already and it's only 6.30 Sent from my iPad...

Since I started on SW just over a week ago, I've found a new best friend. She is never far away and rarely goes home these days.......who is it? Susie, my Slow Cooker! I have found her to be invaluable as she is always cooking me nourishing low fat soups and stews. In fact I've used it almost...

Aw hon, sounds like you are having a hard time. This is my first week too but weigh-in not till Thursday for me. I couldn't cope with eating out at the moment until I know exactly what I'm doing. In fact I'm a bit unadventurous with my choices till I get my head round it. But at least the...

All the size 14s sitting in my wardrobe, feeling very lonely as they haven't been out to play for some time now...... Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Thank you so much Squares76. I think they could be worth the syn for the handiness for work.

Funny enough I'm the same and as I'm heading towards 60 it's not TOM or teenage acne. But had to take tablets every day this week for headaches and have first spot in about 10 years......weird

Salmon steak, noodles, courgettes, baby corn and mushrooms......can't wait

Eating a delicious bacon and egg butty as we speak! Yummy

Are the aunty Bessie frozen jacket potato free or do they have to be, synned? I thought they would be handy for work as I can keep them in ether, freezer until I need them

Snap.....just had my first weigh-in and I'm the same 14stone 8.5lbs.......that was the kick up the ass I needed to be determined to do beat my bad habits

Good luck Hun, you have loads of good reasons to do it for yourself. And you sound determined to do it so you're halfway there. And if you did it the hard way then this will be easy peasy x

Omelette with ham, mushrooms, tomato and beetroot.

I tried to find some today too but none on the shelves. Everybody must be on slimming world plan!

Thank you! We are all in this together x

Good plan Capri girl! I just want to fit into my size 14 clothes again. I'm too old and too tall to be any thinner as when I did it before people kept telling me to stop as I looked ill and tired. So I will know in myself when to stop I think

You are braver than me, I can't face a class. Going to do it myself at home with my daughter.

I'm going to Florida too in June (24th) and want to look halfway decent in shorts. I've got my ideal ME as an image to aim towards so positive mental thinking all the way

Lol......he would be.......if I had one, but no there is just me so that's why I have to eat the same meal more than once!

I made a savoury chilli mince last night and had it with mixed veges as I am doing red plan. The other half is on the menu for tonight. It was yummy so despite a big "fry up " 10 minutes ago I'm already yearning for tea tonight......need to cure the boredom then I might stop thinking about food...

My last day at home so did a full"fry up", bacon, egg, mushrooms and tomato with wm toast. Back to porridge tomorrow.......literally!

I lost 3 stone a few years ago on mostly red days with the occasional green day when I wanted SW chips. I also like the extra hex it gives you. Can't get my head around EE at all. But here goes, Fingers crossed it works again for me

Hi I'm jan and restarting SW after an absence of 3 years. I lost 3 stone before doing mostly red days. I've put most of it back on so it's back to square one. I don't fancy the EE plan as I've heard so many people say it or sent work for them. I plan on doing red days again as I know it works...

Good luck ....I'm about to start my journey too with first class next week. I hope I have the determination to see it through this time

About to restart SW after new year, so reading this thread has been brilliant. Need to go out and stock up on my treats as NEED some chocolate at night when I read in bed, 99 size flakes for me! So thanks guys and gals I now have the confidence and determination to get started on my journey
