Hi
I've just started slimming world. I've steadily gone from a size 8 to a size 16/18 in the 9 years since I met my husband and since I'm only 5'2", that's not a good look!
I am normally quite useless at diets and fall off the wagon really easily. Sometimes I don't even last a week! I haven't been tracking how many syns I've been having properly in the 2 weeks since I started. I can't go to groups as my husband works awkward shifts at a prison and I work around his shifts so we don't need child minders. So if I'm not at work, my husband, more often than not, is.
I have my slimming world books, and was hoping you fine people on this site would be my virtual group. It might help me keep on track!

Thanks both of you x
I had my first taste of quark today. It was ok. I couldn't eat it straight from the tub though! Lol!

I have yet to try Quark, I've heard a lot about it though!

Quark isn't toooo bad, just a bit of a shock to the system when your expecting something Philly like *lol*
I've been keeping a daily 'diary' of everything I eat and then adding up the syns. Sounds a little odd but does help =] x

I was expecting a slightly less creamy Philly.
I made carbonara with it, with Parmesan as my HE and actually it wasn't a bad substitute for the real thing.
I don't think it's odd to keep a diary of what you eat. I've been doing the same thing. I log it all on my iPhone so I've always got it handy.
