Okay less than two hours to go and I am back on!!

Hi. Okay I'm back with you lot now. Measured out my milk allowance for the day and just had two weetabix for breakfast from my healthy B section. Determined not to be a fat blob at BF wedding.

Thanks Yorkiegirl! Would anyone know how many syns a McVities Go Ahead Apple and Sultana crisp would be? I've looked on the web site bit it doesn't have them! I'm sure it's hardly any as there are really thin
Very impressed with myself today though - have just cooked dinner for later and discovered that it is completely free - will be able to splash out on a glass of wine with it.

Hello everyone. I am going to join SW tomorrow night, and I just wanted to know how it all works really, as I am not entirely sure. Am I right in thinking it has something to do withy red and green days? (Whatever those are) I am really desperate to lose weight, as I have become such a big blimp since DS was born 5 months ago. Can anyone explain a bit more? Is it good?

first weigh in tonight - have been pretty good so fingaers crossed

Hi everyone! Can I join this thread?

I am off in 15 minutes to my first slimming world class so would be grateful for any tips you could give me.

just had the most gorgeous tea and i got the recipe from sw booklet.
Piece of plain fish (cod) coated in wholemeal breadcrumbs baked in the oven for 20 mins.
Had it with mash spuds with cauliflour mixed in and carrots, sweetcorn on the side and a spoonful of tomy ketchup. Ds loved it too. mmmmm Dont know how much is in it, got to check.
ive lost 2.5 first week then 1.5 second week, going on thursday to get weighed again...wish me luck.

the best tip i was given was to really read thruogh the books they give you - as it makes alot more sense when you do.

7lb lost

Well done!! You must have really read those books!!!

OMG fairydust! How did you do that?!
(well done BTW )

I had 4 green 3 red days - and the family has ate really well this week

Congratulations Fairydust - you must be so pleased

the pots you get to freeze your own kids ice lollys are great to use - we've been freezing mullerlight in them - and there a great summer syn free snack

I need meal idea's please ladies - i so want this to work this time - but feel i'll be eating the same things week in week out and that's we're i tend to fai.

safeway use to do a macroni cheese that was syn free on a green - we no longer have a safeway so i wondered can anyone recomned another frozen macaroni cheese please

Hi! I have only been doing SW for 2 days but am doing ok. Just wondered if anyone has some good recipes I could try for family dinners or low syn treats. I am not very imaginative where cooking is concerned so would be grateful for any ideas. Thanks!

the frozen muller lights are lush and syn free as well - am also looking for family meals.

Hi all
Have rejoined SW since miscarriage and am finding it tough going--lost 6lbs, put 4 back on. But am determined to succeed. I've only got 2st 3lbs to lose...my new deadline is to shift 14lbs by my wedding anniversary on 13 July. And I am definitely going to do it as would love to be a 10st-something this summer instead of hovering around 12st and feeling all hot and flabby.

I lost 4lbs! Really pleased with my first week.
Fairydust - I've found a few meal ideas on the website although I haven't actually tried them yet. I only eat green anyway so most of what I eat was fairly similar to what I ate anyway except no fat.

Hi Christie, I did a food sensitivity test once and it came up with wheat, milk products and sugar. I lost quite a bit of weight. I don't think that's cos there is a metabolic connection though--I think it's because your choices are so limited, you end up taking in less calories, and most of my comfort foods contain wheat, dairy or sugar. I think it's interesting that Overeaters Anon suggest that group members from wheat and sugar just because they are such common binge-triggers...

Anotha 2.5 off this week, thats 6.5 in 4 weeks! hehehehe am absolutely delighted.
