Just had a look at your FB photos from your links on here and the food is amazing! Shall be trying out some of those recipes once we get settled in our home.

Have you ever frozen the food you make? As my OH dosent like the same food as me, so i tend to cook different things and it would be helpful for me if i cooked a batch and then froze it.

Ive been trying hard these 2 days and hoping that i lose a little or stay the same weight, when i weigh next week.

:)

:)
 
Alison the diary is from Asda yes. I dont know whats up with my facebook, it keeps not showing friend requests then suddenly I get loads at once. x
 
I freeze my food off as I'm the same my partner doesnt eat much of what I do.
OMG that casserole looks to die for and I'm hungrey.
Iv been gathering loads of recipes together so I have new idea for things. Going to head to the local fruit and veg place on friday and get more bits in.
I'm still eating bits left from xmas as i want them gone before i start lol

Thanks Il send another request!

I cant get to Asda but if I find the link to it will ask a friend to get me one, could not find it on the asda website?
 
I was looking through your recipes on fb and ment to save the chicken casserole one, I cant seem to find it now.
Could you post it for me please?
Do you happen to know how many syns the asda batter mix is? thinking of making yorkshire puds to go with it.
 
Yay! i worked it out and have spent hours doing my meals for the week (i hope that gets quicker) come's to £50! and I'm two meals short but they are after next weeks group so maybe get some ideas then i'm hoping i'll be too busy to notice I'm trying to lose weight :))
 
Great thanks, alex gets back from work on Sunday morning so wanted a good hoe cooked meal for him but something I can still have too.
Toad in the hole looks good too :)

Thanks for this, this one is definitely going in my recipe file. Do you spend a lot of time cooking? I do enjoy it but when I get in from work I'm usually pretty lazy :))

sounds great!
 
I've just had italian meatball's (i am a newbie) i have eaten load's today but only 6 syns:)) and 1 hour dance game i can't believe i will lose weight on this tho i will be shocked
 
I've been looking at the SW website and minimins but a bit confused. If a meal is syn free, am I right in thinking it can still only be eaten on a green/red day depending on what it is? I'm finding all these nice recipes and starting my meal planner but not sure whether the recipes I've found are green, red or extra easy days :{

I love the idea of ready brek for breakfast (I'm quite a fussy eater) but not sure what day this would be on... maybe I should just join the online thing!
 
I don't follow the Slimming World plan so don't have much of a clue about syns etc. I am a Scottish Slimmer though doing it on my own. I had lost 3 1/2 since January 2009 but over the last few months have put on a bit more than 2 stone so am gutted. Especially with us going to Egypt in 8 weeks. Anyway, this is day 3 of my 'diet', so far so good. Normally weigh myself on a Monday morning so any loss will be over 5 days. Do you share your losses on this thread or is there a separate thread for that?
 
I know how you feel, I lost a lot of weight in 2009, just through a very low calorie diet I did and now I'm feeling pretty disappointed with myself that it's started coming back. I just love food! :))

Sharing losses is a good idea, I'm not sure if anyone does this so I'd be interested to know too :).
 
Been and got loads of fruit and veg in today, gotta love local green grocerys so cheap.
Got a big cleaning day today to will burn some carlories.
I found my old books out last night, my last offical weigh in was August 2008, checked last night and iv only gained 2 lb 6 oz since lol looks like iv done well keeping it off and i ate like a guinea piggy over xmas :)

I'm looking for some advice, wanting to try some different teas either peppermint or green tea. Any suggestions? I do suffer from IBS so wondering if peppermint might help?

Cheers

Peppermint tea is wonderful for IBS it works for me anyway, takes a while to get used to the taste but worth a try :)
 
my friend and i are hopefully going to join slimming world next week. I'm just wondering if they ask about health problems? i have fibromyalgia, IBS and PCOS would i still be able to go?
 
They had a health questionare so it may be on that, i don't see how it will stop you going but they will be able to help you make a balanced plan more suited to your health issue's

I thought extra easy is a combination of the two red and green so you don't need to worry about what day's your on if you do the extra easy plan which is what i do as it seem's easier that mini min's site is sooo busy lol (but inspiring too) If you have ready break it's a healthy extra choice b plus any milk from your healthy extra choice a. or you could use water or syn it if you want to use your health extra in something else
 
Ok just want to try and get things back in my head.All days choices things like bread, cereal etc are healthy extras along with milk and other dairy
Greens days lots of veg, Pasta, potatoes etc free
Red days Meat etc free, pasta and potatoes healthy extra

Extra easy days can have a little bit of everything?

If I'm wrong someone please point me in the right direction :)
 
you can have all superfree food's and all free food's in green (beans potatoes pasta noodles quorn quark etc)red(bacon chicken fish oily fish shellfish eggs quark etc) or orange.


your healthy choices are A milk or cheese and B cereals bread soups (certain tinned one's) dried cooked or canned fruit
