[Lenlu]

Hi, I'm new!! So what us eligibility for slimmer of the week? Just the person that lost the most? Saw someone say if you gain your nit eligible next week?

 

[moomintrolljen]

Yeah - person with the highest loss but you have to have not gained the week before or sts either x

 

[Lovely_Laura]

You have to be the one with highest loss but also lost the week before, no staying the same or gain.

 

[Lovely_Laura]

Jen, you're too quick!

 

[moomintrolljen]

i always try to put either a low syn treat, something free or some nice fruit in out basket! our group is in a very "ethnically diverse" part of london and i am one of few indian girls at my group, one week i put together some small containers of different spice and recipes to go with them!

This week i put an indian "kesar mango" which are lovely! fragrant and really refreshing they are sweet as well tho so not great for diabetics!

 

[moomintrolljen]

Awwww how thoughtful simmy x

 

[Gene Genie]

Last week I put in 1.5 litres of water because it helped me get through the week and it is important to drink water , there is a mixture in our basket of fruit, pasta n sauce etc and I did notice that someone had very thoughtfully written the syn values on something they had brought. I had done the same with the Glenryck Flavoured Tuna which I had bought but had forgot n left on the side at home!!
so went to the shop n bought a bottle of water ... well I couldnt turn up empty handed and it was a sweet shop, this week im taking along a couple of Toffee mullerlights

You go girl ! start a revolution

 

[Mumoftwo]

I try and take something different every week, last night I took a can of baked beans. I have given mugshots, pasta and sauce, alpen lights and the new kelloggs fibre bars for people who don't know about them yet!

We usually get a mixture of stuff, we've even had some lovely veggies from someones allotment! My group seems to be pretty generous we've had whole punnets of strawberries and plums donated.

One time I won slimmer of the week I did get a manky banana and an out of date tin of prunes! Bleugh!!!

 

[Going2be*fab*at40]

Last week I put in a melon and this week it will be a pack of Ryvita original.
Sometimes the bowl looks a bit sad, but last week (we'd all been 'promted'!), there were two bowls full of wonderful stuff.
I sometimes wish that SoW was calculated on % weight loss rather than the actual numbers though..... :-D

 

[CocoaFiend]

I got Slimmer of the Week last week and got about 5 bananas (3 of which had started to go manky), 2 oranges and 3 satsumas, 2 apples (one red and one green) and a kiwi XD that made me laugh when I discovered this one lil kiwi hiding in the bottom of the bag.
Today I took along an apple, a nectarine and a plum... I didn't have much else lol and I thought it might vary it a bit more than just bananas, oranges and apples

 

[Pickle87]

Ours tends to vary a lot. Sometimes it will only have one thing in other times a decent selection. I tend to take things like stir fry packs, or bags of broccoli, cauli and carrots. Will be taking pot noodle in a mug tomorrow.

 

[tinkerbellsmum]

ours in mainly manky fruit (dp hates it when I when always say not fruit again lol) I'm trying to quietly change my group by adding something different. you see the odd highfi bar or muller in ours.
I have took cous cous, mixed herbs, face pack think i did take a bannana this week but it was fresh. gonna have a think for this week now

 

[moomintrolljen]

someone who lost only 1/2 lb more than me won it this week and i was secretly pleased cos it looked minging!

 

[Mummoth]

This week I took a bottle of M & S bubble bath & a humungous apple! It was in a bag of apples I'd bought & it was almost the size of a cooking apple.
