Started SW today. Think I did the diet correctly; not entirely convinced. Anyone else out there doing SW?

Just start again when you feel better Panadbois. I haven't been unwell whilst dieting yet but am sure it will come one day.
I made syn free chilli tonight Iliveinapineapple (I think it was, anyway) - tasted really good and I've eaten sooooo much of it Blush.
Hi burstingbuble. I think your breakfast sounds fine. Not sure about the Ainsley Harriet. You can either look things up on the internet or I use a Food Directory book purchased from Slimming World. I'm pretty sure you can ring up too to ask any questions.

Oh blimey! I have eaten looooadddds of the blimin chilli Angry. Really was delicious though Grin. Is this 'allowed' or am I being really stupid? All the ingredients were 'free' including the blob of fat free yogurt on the top so in theory I can eat as much as I like, can't I? Husband liked it too but I noticed that I ate far more than him Blush. This is why I was scared of cooking real food on this diet and not just munching on a ryevita or two!

Peonypeony, its abit unsettling when you find you've eaten loads, i made a frittata, so tasty, i put so much in there and nearly eat the whole lot, then i made tomorrows dinner, lasange, did put alittle more parmasan on than probaly should have, also i have a fab recipe for leek and potato soup, so easy, will pass it on if you want it.

Panadbois · 23/08/2012 07:32

can you tell me how to make the chilli and the lasagne please, sounds good.

Absolutly no alcohol, no syns today and tomorrow.

I remember a consultant telling us, years ago, that although they sais eat as much as you like of free foods, stop when you're full cos you could maintain your weight instead of loosing.

COME BACK!!!

I don't know those recipes but I imagine it requires super low fat mince.

hiya. i have just started yesterday back on sw. i have tried so many different diets recently, but i lost 3 stone on sw after my daughter was born so have gone back to that. i had a really good day yesterday (stayed under 10 syns) but this morning i actually managed to forget i was back on sw and had pancakes!!! so annoyed with myself! so am just carrying on like that never happened!

i am doing it at home as i hated groups. i found they spent so long talking about each persons weight loss/ gain that i nearly died of bordem. really didnt motivate me at all!

Can I join? Smile
Started at 19 st 7 in the middle of November, have been following slimming world and as of last Monday had lost 2 stone. Have this week started couch 2 5k which has made me feel soo good!I tried it last year but couldn't physically manage it, this time round it's been much easier, I'm only on week 1 though so that could change! Grin
Well done to everyone so far! Star
