Maintained this week. Which is fine by me considering I had 3 days off plan!

This week I have no social events so determined to have a big loss! I'm going to do green days, because I don't eat meat anyway so it means an extra HeB (bought my first pack of scanbran... I'm nervous!)

how do you get your iron, with no meat?

i have been told i am low and i want to increase my iron count

I want to know all about these goujons too. Usually the words breaded and free don't go together! I was down half a pound this week. Happy with that but only one pound off two stone. Any tips for a big loss this week? I've plateaued a bit as I get closer to target!

i swear by grapefruits, i found i slowed down as i got to my target also, but got there in the end...

as you loose weight i think your portions should reduce also

Not sure are they exactly goujons, they could be more like chicken strips/pieces but they are definitely free.

They are very very hard to get in Aldi.

are they on the app?

Don't be nervous at all, i joined mid November 2013 and tonight i received my 3 and a half stone award, im delighted, best thing I did was join slimming world. Plenty of fresh fruit, i have a giant bowl full of fruit, i cut/dice a big pineapple and water melon and put it in the fridge to use to snack on any time i want. Get plenty of Muller light yogurts (free) and alpin light snack bars (3 syns), porridge is a must. Be careful with most breakfast cereals as they are loaded with sugar.
There is oakland breaded chicken goujons in Aldi that are completely free with slimming word. Get your less than 5% fat mince meet. Best of luck on joining.
Your correct, planning your meals for the week is KEY. i take a half an hour every Sunday evening to map out my meals for the week ahead and it definitely works.

Hi all, I'm thinking about joining slimming world online because there's no class near me. I previously lost 6 stone following no plan but I've let the bad habits reform over the past couple months and have put back up nearly 2 stone

I'm not one for restrictive diets so I like the fact that this seems to be more about a healty lifestyle.

Any recommendations about which online membership is the best option? I'm thinking of either the silver or the gold because I got the magazine for the first time the other day and thought it was pretty good, so I'd probably be buying it again anyway. Is it worth paying out for the gold membership for the other extra stuff? There doesn't seem to be much information about it, and I assume all the information you need to get started is online anyway?

It's really important to up your water intake too as you will be eating more fibre rich food.

Does anyone ever split healthy extras? For example, you can have 5 light laughing cows or 250mls semi skimmed milk, but could I have 2 laughing cows and 125mls of milk instead? I really only have a tiny bit of milk per day, so there's no point wasting a whole healthy extra for it!

Although since I don't eat meat, I'm technically on 'green days' every day so can have 2 healthy extras, but the leader said to stick to Extra Easy for the first month.

Thank you for merging the links! I'm new to this so wasn't sure how to. I have found a lot of wagamamas dishes on the SW app before. It's not too bad syn wise but never be afraid to ask for what you want in a restaurant!

havent been here for ages. lost 1.5 last week but this week was a disaster. I was "clogged up" for pretty much all the week. i'll be lucky to stay the same today if I can

Does anyone else have any other restaurants they would recommend to slimming world conscious members that promote transparent calorie / ingredients? Where do all you slimming world members eat if you go out in to eat in dublin ? and elsewhere?

Hey, when I'm eating out in Dubljn I tend to go to wagamams or Yamamouri(?) I feel like the Asian style food is better for you in general but also they both have the calories for each dish on their websites(possibly on the menus too, not sure) so you have an idea of what your intake will be. And in Wagamamas in particular they are really easy going and if you ask for them to alter the dishes at all, no oil, steamed etc they have no prob doing it.

Hi OP, there is a pretty active SW thread already so instead of having two - il merge these posts into the original SW thread
