Blondes arranges cushions and sw friendly snacks :)

welcome one and all and

Hello May I join you........ I've never done SW before but a colleague has just lost a stone really quickly so I want some of that too!!!! Have not joined a class yet but plan to start the 7 day free plan on the SW website tomorrow, cleaning out my fridge now and going shopping this afternoon to stock up!

Bean. Sounds yummy and you did damage limitation

Fish - kwym - maybe you've toned up - def measure. I do every month - plus maybe eat more then 5 syns a day. You are allowed 10/15 so you are having 70 less a week

I rarely have spare syns lol. But spend the. On crisps salad cream and CHINESE

Laughalot - yah for aunty :)

Double - i eat tons of those sav rice. Lovely with salmon or mince

Who knows - welcome

Fish, I've found if I don't use my Syns, I don't loose very much at all.

Hi who

Just sent the dh shopping in the snow, with a very strict list. Must stick to plan this week!!

2lb on .

Not happy. Not surprised.

whoknowswho - welcome - just wade in.

I always find it pays to know what you are going to the kitchen for.

and a great way to start by following the ready made plan

beanandspud - try extra hard this week and you should lose that no probs

I've totally lost my motivation and am just eating every bit of crap food in sight
I don't know why I do it to myself. I'm 2.5lb away from a bloody stone and I just sabotage myself.
Please can someone give me a kick up the arse??

meal plan, meal plan, meal plan. - eat loads of stuff that is free.

Know what you are going to the kitchen for, never rummage in the cupboards

have a green day, make a massive plate of egg, beans and sw chips so you aren't even hungry.

Sometimes a glass of diet coke gives you the sweetness you need.

Is it a change of food you need? Have a read of [[http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/250434-petes-recipe-book.html this amazing thread of SW recipes from a guy that lost an incredible 6 1/2 stone

oh blow - link = here, sorry bout that

Thank you Furball I have stepped away from the fridge and put washing up liquid in the bowl of left over chocolate icing so I can't be tempted!

Well done blondes 3lbs is great!
OH made marble cake other day have had 2 slices over last couple days.
Also had Thai takeaway on thurs.
Need to limit the syns for the rest of the week.

Thanks all for the welcome! Fridge stocked and ready. Looking forward to the full English in the morning!!!

Can I join you? I'm not a 'proper' member of SW at the moment though I've done the online membership successfully before. I kind of maintain by cooking SW recipes most of the time but as I'm not very good I've let about half a stone creep back. Hard to find the motivation to deal with it, but I know I'd look much better without it.
I'd love to know everyone's favourite SW recipes. We regularly have steak and SW chips with salad (DH heartily approves) and fish/prawn dishes. I could use some inspiration for easy things to cook in the evening that are tasty!
Thanks and good luck to everyone.

Oh I meant to say too, that I asked SW for this kind of support forum as part of the SW online package - really can't think why they hadn't done it as its so helpful to share ideas and support if you don't go to a group. So thank you!

eatmum - follow my link a few posts down

That link is amazing. Loads of recipes

Excellent, thanks Furball. Have bookmarked ...

Evening all,

Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)
One night next week I am off to frankie and benny's (I know its bad!!!) I want to have the bbq chicken pizza but haven't a clue how many syns are in it, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

hello, i joined slimming world 9 weeks ago and have lost 17lb, but put a pound on last week, but it was my 50th Birthday, iam on the extra easy, never done this before,and cant believe the amount i can eat, i am also cooking a lot more healthly meals,and make loads of soups and desserts, the half a syn cake is my fav,as i can eat the whole thing over a couple of days :)

Iam starting swimming on thursday with my daughter,as i dont feel too bad in a swimming costume,but not really comfy, so its a matter of out of changing room,and a quick jump in :P got a brilliant pull me in costume with a proper fitting bra from marks and spencers,so every little bit helps with my journey,hope to loose another 2 stone, but know it will probably slow down a bit now.

Cupcake 100g of BBQ chicken pizza is 10.5 syns, no idea how heavy a F and B's pizza is though!

Baby Elise Isla arrived this morning after 30 hours in labour she weighed 8lb 9 oz my sil had to have a blood transfusion as lost 2 litres of blood. Both mum and baby are doing well thank goodness . Iv celebrated with a curry and wine oh dear xx

cupcake - A google tells me a medium pan Margherita from Pizza Hut is 72 syns

Laughalot congratulations! Glad everything is ok! I have also celebrated with curry and wine even though I just found out, think it must have been my SW sense.

Laughalot congratulations :)

Kissmygrits and Furball, Thank you for the pizza info. Oh my god 72 syns!!!!!! To be honest though it's my fav pizza and me and the hubby don't go out that often so I think I may just have it and then get back on track.

Lilmamma 17lbs off in 9 weeks is great :)

I'm only at the end of day 3 but I feel so much better in myself, I am eating so much better already, lots of fresh foods and no where near as much sugar and processed food!
