If it's enough to satisfy you, keep you full as long as you need it to and you're making a conscious effort to stop when you're full it's perfect

A woman in my group on Saturday got her 1/2 st, 1 st AND her 1 1/2 st award after her first week of joining ! - never heard the like of it

Had to read that 3 times 1 & 1/2 stone loss in first week that surely is a record and wonder if she had a massive amount to loose, either way I never heard of it and doubt it is healthy and sustainable in the long run

My thoughts exactly - I bumped into her yesterday and she told me that our consultant had sat her down afterwards and gone through a retrospective food diary as she (the consultant) was concerned. She said that she'd been eating a whole heap of rubbish and literally cut it out when she joined (beer, crisps, chocolate, bread etc) and started walking and stopped picking.

From what she said, it certainly sounded as though she was eating well on plan - sounds like a complete lifestyle change.

As far as i know Woman's Way has a voucher in this weeks magazine. I saw a screenshot of it on Slim With Fiona's snapchat but don't have my phone with me now to double check.

Thanks for sharing that FizzleSticks, its amazing how the body gets accustomed to the same foods and how the change helped you loose 2lbs, I am trying to loose 4lbs for months but hanging in there, I know I need to focus more on the plan

Does anyone know how many syns are in a cappuchino from a shop coffee machine?? I checked the app and it's saying 4.5 but could I count it as less / free because I wouldn't normally use all of my HexA??

The official line is that you can't count it towards your hex a... but I always have and it never effected my weight loss.. I can see them filling the cup in Starbucks and they alway fill to the same line on it so the whole thing about it not being the exact amount of milk doesn't bother me.

Does anyone know what the offer is for signing up to the 12 week countdown in May? (Like the free book in Februay)One of the consultants I follow on Snapchat mentioned one but I can't remember what it is!

It's a food diary I think.

What's the best yoghurt to make overnight oats with?
I use muller light vanilla and it's yum but I'm after a healthier alternative.
TIA

Week 8. Am 1lb away from a stone gone. (another 2 to go!). I find that alcohol
is the hardest thing to give up. I feel that the single biggest change I have made which seems to have worked for me is having "dinner" at lunch time and "lunch" at dinner time

Just joined SW last night. Pretty nervous because I've tried different things before all with varying results, some great, some not so great, but the weight has always crept back on as I slide back to old habits. I have at least 7 stone to lose, but I'm determined. My consultant from last night seems lovely. I've signed up for 12 weeks to make myself commit!

The skinny chicken burgers from M&S are nice, 0.5 syn each

2.5lbs down in my third week, happy with that . Going to try a few new recipes to mix it up.

Just a little line to say that I started 7 weeks ago today with slimming world and I weighed 17st 13lb and already in the 7 weeks I have lost 2st 61/2 pounds I find this absolutely incredible and can't believe it I still have a long way to go but please keep at it as this group has changed my life forever.

hole in my lovelywall

That's an amazing result.
Well done you.
You've formed the habit now.
Have you found it difficult?

I haven't had the resolve to stick to it at all.

I'm starting to feel perplexed at how slow this is going, even though when my mam did SW and would text me she was "only" down a pound or a half I would remind her that its a process and it's going the right way. I need to take my own advice! But when I compare who I am now to who I was before, I don't know why it is slow. I am walking with the dog every evening (at least 40mins uphill) plus have completely cut out junk food and am mindful at every meal. I suppose, it didn't go on overnight....

Also suffer bloating occasionally which can send me up a couple of pounds. Melon cuts down fluid - any other food?

Wow fantastic. Go you!

Have to say I found it difficult for the first week or two but honestly have to say Its the most satisfiing thing I have ever done the one thing that I can't get my head round is how much energy I have now I'm bouncing round the place a real skip in my step but please stick with it as it's worth the hard work .
