Shiny new thread for us all.......😀😀😀

Good luck Katie!

So gutted, 4 1/2... I was less a couple of days ago! Oh well, gotta be happy

4.5lbs is great katie! Please don't feel disheartened.

Don't be gutted, that's a great achievement. I know it's hard when it's not as much as you hope. But that's over half way to your first half stone.

Remember home scales are rarely very accurate. So while it might give you an idea, it's probably not going to be spot on.

4.5 lb is great...you could get your half stone next week...

4.5 is amazing - well done! And don't forget your weight fluctuates throughout the day too - you'll be lighter in the mornings!

-1 today for me.and got my stone award.onwards now for my 2nd award.and well done tou katie** good loss for 1st week

Good losses deli and Kate. Congrats

Well done Kate and Deli, great losses!

Thanks all, after staying for group, I'm pretty chuffed about it!!!

Well done Katie!

Cowboy try Syns Allowed - they have infographics for HExBs I think.

e.g.

Katie...I had my first weigh in this week and I was -4.5lbs too. I also hoped for a bit more but if you think that's nearly five bags of sugar it is actually a lot!

I'm aiming to get my half stone next week.

Today:

B: HeB porridge with half skimmed HeA/half water. Rest of HeA milk used in tea through the day

L: spag bol

D: veggie stir fry with noodles

Snacks: muller light, fruit

Syns: sugar for tea (3 Syns), hi-fi bar (3 syns), stir fry sauce (3 syns)

I'm trying choc Orange hi-fi bars this week....lush!!!

Love orange hi fi bars!! And rocky road.

That's great to hear Katie, glad you are chuffed!

B - Apple
L - 5% mince chilli with squash, baby sweetcorn and cheese (HEA)
Dinner is 5 heck sausages (they need eating today) , squash and green beans

HEB will be hi fi light and smacked on fruit.

Haven't got any Syns in yet.

Well done to all the losers. I lost 3.5lb in my second weigh so 7.5lbs all together. I'm happy with that.

Been marking essays all evening and only getting around to preparing dinner now. Am staaaarving. Just as well I had a gain this week as it's the only thing stopping me phoning a takeaway.

B- grapefruit, scrambled eggs with mushrooms and ham
L- Ryvita with tinned salmon, mayo and tomato. Fruit and yoghurt
D- chicken, leeks, sugar snap peas, mushrooms and broccoli with mustard and tarragon sauce and rice

Syns- 1 sugar, 2 Mayo, 3 hi fi

Congrats sleepless

Congrats sleepless!

Has anyone tried making quinoa porridge before?

I was thinking of trying it tomorrow instead of normal porridge as then I have my HeB for later...

Well done losers!

Basin - the dauphinoise was lush! Only used sweet potatoes rather than a mix of those and actual potatoes in the end, as the potatoes were sprouting :( Added an extra clove of garlic too! The recipe supposedly serves 2, but I had a quarter of it and that was enough (and means I have half my HexA left!) Had it with salmon baked in foil with capers and lemon juice, plus cabbage...

I just joined slimming world today and I am looking at loosing 6stone. Would anyone be able to recommend any good recipes to start me off.

That's brilliant Katie! I only lost 1lb in my first week.

Emily proper coffee is my non-negotiable. I'm getting used to healthier food, and I've naturally reduced my wine intake as have spent most of this year suffering from colds & unable to drink, but giving up caffeine? No chance! DH has been caffeine free for 15 years - we have an entire kitchen cupboard given over to different types of tea & coffee as he likes trying different loose leaf ones.

So, think I've done OK today so far:

B - Mullerlight, Alpen Light (half HexB)

L - Pasta Salad, Quavers (4.5) sugar free jelly (0.5)

D - Thai Chicken Curry & Rice (from the magazine 1 syn)

Milk HexA

Snacks - apple, HiFi light (other half HexB)

Really don't feel like I'm 'on a diet' atm, which is great but a little worrying. Need to have a mostly speed day tomorrow as will have 250ml of red wine left over after making the beef bourginon for dinner and I fully intend to drink it 😀

user do you have or can you get the App. There are lots of recipes on there and on the website.

I know a few people here have some favourite blogs that they may link z

So far I have stuck to the really simple one from the magazines.

ava me too. Coffee is definitley non negotiable

Stumbly......quinoa porridge is lush......I had it all week but was on plan and gained 1.5lbs this week so not happy!!
