I remember using and reading this forum years ago when I started using the Cambridge diet plan and it was really busy - seems not now, but for what it's worth I will post my diary/plan. Previously I lost 28lb with Cambridge, then got pregnant (yay! Plus it's what I Was dieting for as I was...

Ours is a success - only actually tried potatoes in varying sizes in it so far but it makes lovely free chips!!

You're welcome - This is what is getting me through the days when I need to snack.

Thanks Blanco - I had a bit of a rough weekend in terms of sticking to 100% - More like 75% but I'm doing SP days till thursday weigh in now and hoping for the best!

Yeah I have a couple of voice lovers - but I think 80% of mine are genuine and enthusiastic so I let them off but theres a core group of hard faced better than everyone else upturned nose ladies whose shins I want to kick!

I nearly bought that one as it was 'cuter' but I thought the tefal one would store easier lol

Hi there - I started SW last week and wouldn't mind someone to enthuse / rant / congratulate / vent (delete as applicable) Why does this feel like a dating website, I don't know what to put now LOL I'm attempting SW with my OH as he tends to do more cooking and we both could do with losing...

I enjoy reading other peoples food diaries (I am admittedly very nosey) but it's interesting to compare myown efforts with other people :) good luck for your half stone!

Ordered mne it will be here tomorrow - just off to see if there is an airfryer recipe thread :D (Despite OH's complaints that the fryer would have to live where the coffee machine *I* won't agree to could go, the promise of chips won out haha)

Headache has gone today but so has my appetite - I've been having hexa and hex6 and averaging 6 syns a day but I'm really like blah - don't want anything. I ate home made scotch eggs and salad for lunch but didn't WANT it. The body is a bizarre thing!

Yes the eggs are hard boiled and peeled before putting the mince around them :) They don't seem to suffer from being in the oven again after though.

I ran them through the calculator - 19 Syns per 100g on Extra Easy - so roughly 1 syn per 5g?

I cant find them on the main database

If you send me the values or a pic of them off the packet I'll have a look for you?

Are airfryers worth getting? I'm tempted but my OH is all "DO WE NEED ONE?!" - I can't blame him I came back with a giant wooden seahorse last weekend because I 'needed it'. So I want to present him with a firm business case for this purchase haha

Buttercup!

I'm a size 18 in jeans but I can only seem to get ASOS Curve ones that fit my shape well enough to not look like a sack of s**t tied around the middle and no camel toe! :/ For some reasoon the vast amount of jeans, even plus sized ones seem to be low rise and reeealllly unflattering!

you can calculate the syns on the website if you have the nutritional values - I'm googling this as I've never heard of it :)

Thanks for the advice guys - It's a dealable headache as long as I don't have to syn paracetamol but no good if it's going to carry on long term!

gempty makes a good point too - you get the book and a lot of the information atthe first group for £10

Hi Lauryloo20 I only just started SW and I'm really enjoying it - I have around 3st to lose at least though. I lost a stone by calorie counting and upping my exercise over 4 weeks, so I would say one the one hand I can reccomend SW but for the sake of 7lb and £60, I would perhaps look at...

I'm finding crushed ryvita wholegrain cracker breads to be doing the trick - 1 is only 1/6 of your daily HEXB :)

I started SW on Friday and I've managed to do quite well and stick to it (apart from accidentally going over syns on the first day Friday) and I had a nagging headache before I went to bed last night, didn't sleep well because of it and still can't shake it. It's in the front of my head and...

When I recently came of my birth control (Injection) last August, I felt like I was going through some kind of withdrawl - it seemed to be tough on my body and mind. I was manic, then despondant, then fine again and then crying like something devestating had happened because I cut my toast...

I make literally TUBS AND TUBS of this because I love it and whenever my mouth needs distracting it's free and tastes really fresh and goes with plenty of things. I actually stole it from a friend, it's her 'go to dish' to take to parties and bbqs haha You Need: 1 Red Onion 1 Pepper - I prefer...

I've made syn free scotch eggs a couple of times now - they are really satisfying and easy for grab and go lunches. You need: - 5% or less mince of any type, I have found beef has turned out the best so far but have had succes with pork, turkey and mince. Quantity differs really but I find...

One thing I will say about the Leader of my group is that I can't see her putting up with any sniping - she seems like she would be a good mediator if things ever esculated haha - I'm looking forward to trying to earlier meeting next week with my family, I might feel more inclined to join in if...

First meeting was okay - I went to the later meeting (there's two for us on a Thursday) and this isnt the meeting I will usually go to as my family (it's now a family hobby) go to the earlier one but OH coulodn't make the early one this week. I found the leader tolerable, but that's no...

Is smash free? Sounds interesting - I may give smash a go on my next batch of syn free scotch eggs!

Yes that's not right - I am a size 18 and thinking about that makes me realise that next time I do talk to my niece about diets I may also mention that I am doing it to be healthy rather than just thin.. My niece comes to our slimming world meetings with my sister (more a childcare thing than...

This is the last thread I will start today, I don't want to get eyerolled at for being over enthusiastic! This is a transcript of a conversation with my 5 year old niece and 2 year old Nephew. I may have taken liberty with my name. Never tell children you are dieting. Niece: "Do you want...

I am not a meeting person but I am determined to give Slimming World a fighting chance as I want it to be successful. I'm pretty introverted and don't like large social gatherings with people I'm don't know - I'm not shy by any means, I'm usually directs and bit outspoken but I get on well with...

I'm posting this after reading the SW KFC thread - I want to know of any good and tasty alternatives for breadcrumbs when using them with egg to coat meat for oven baking - there's a few recipies I'd like to try if I find a decent breadcrumb alternative..

Not even started SW yet (first meeting tonight) but already saved this one haha!

Great post - very useful to a complete newbie!

Having gone back and read this thread in it's entirity I wanted to add - No one is stuck in their own lives - If you feel trapped by this persons behaviour and can't see a path to happiness or safety by staying with him then take steps to leave. Best of luck to you Maria22 x

I haven't read fully through the thread but I wanted to say that personally, if my OH was picking at me for trying to be healthier and looking better then I would be having serious thoughts about the relationship. My OH and I are both overwieght and go through phases of corrupting each other...

I have a few things that are driving me to lose weight, these were my lightbulb moments. 1. Realising that I have put 3 stones on since meeting my OH 3 years ago - previous to that I had maintated a steady weight since being around 16 years old! He is a bad influence - I suspect the fact one...

This thread has been really useful - I start SW tonight so not sure what to expect but thing 1/2 stone targets sounds manageable!

Hello fellow Slimming Worlders, I have tried many and various diets in the past, mainly fad crash type ones and they never worked. I did have some success with Diet Chef a few years ago, losing 2 and a half stone but never managed to maintain and now I'm the biggest I've ever been! I'm 15st...

I have tried many and various diets in the past, mainly fad crash type ones and they never worked. I did have some success with Diet Chef a few years ago, losing 2 and a half stone but never managed to maintain and now I'm the biggest I've ever been! I'm 15st 12lbs and a size 18, I've never...

Soooo.. I was actually quite nervous today but it's gone fine. Had a muesli bar for breakfast, in the car on my way to work at STUPID o clock and I wasn't hungry again until about ten o clock so had a banana. (Instead of my usual toast with butter/bacon buttie). I was hungry and ready for...

Hello everyone.... I orginally signed up for this forum when I decided to try the Cambridge diet, but in the end I decided against it. Mainly because I have PCOS and the hair loss issue concerned me as I already loose a lot of hair on my head for hormonal reasons. I know this is a heavy going...

Mmmm cookie dough!! I'm gunna hang on for the steak and chips shake! Or I might settle for egg and soldiers shake. We'll have to get onto willy wonka.. if he can make 3 course gum I'm sure he can knock up a pub lunch shake! xx

I posted a bit ago about flavour variety on CD.. I was just wandering.. if they could make any flavour CD shake/soup.. what would you have? :D Personally I have a thing for peanut butter. mmmm!

Hi, welcome. I'm new here too, I start tomorrow on SS hopefully. Hope to see you around! xx

I posted last week, explaining that I’m starting CD tomorrow (seeing my CDC tonight!). Does everyone always have a variety of shakes and soups etc? I’m planning on making 2 out of 3 of my meals tetra bricks, as it’s going to be a pain in the arse making them at work otherwise. I know...

Thats brilliant well done! Y'know, I use those big knickers, Spanx ones, to get rid of my muffin top. And if they work with my body (size 16/18) they'll definatly work with you and your size 14's!!! Looking forward to being able to dig my old clothes out!!

Hi, Im starting on wednesday next week.. seeing CDC tuesday evening and looking forward to picking out my flavours!! I'm more of a savoury person though, so think I'll mainly be having soups, with tetra bricks for work :-D

Thanks Becky xx

Hi, I just posted on the main thread bit before realising this was here! I'm starting teh cambridge diet on Wednesday (seeing my CDC tuesday evening!!) .. dreading it but excited all at the same time! I shall probably be here often, whinging about wanting toast, my one true vice :-D Haven't...

Soooo.. I've booked an appointment to see a local CDC on tuesday, with going on the SS in mind. This is my first time doing the CD and I'm a bit nervous and excited at the same time. I really hope this works for me, I'm really determined to stick to it. CDC sounds quite nice, was quite scared...

Hi, I don't know if I am a little premature in posting here but I've decided I want to do the Cambridge diet and I am committed to sorting it all out. However I have a few questions and niggles i hope some of you could help with? A little about me.. I'm 23, 5'7" and about 15 and half stone...
