Oh dear - this is not great news - you will get bored so very quickly if you aren't eating what YOU want to eat.:o

With Slimming world, you can eat whatever you want - spicy, simple, quick, complicated - you name it

Firstly, start by working out what you *want* to eat, and then we can go from there ... (almost) anything can be fitted into this plan - honest!:cool:

Tonight I am having a chicken curry (posted earlier) with rice and spicy potatoes (all free on EE) and am sharing a bottle of champagne with hubby :beer: :T Really tasty and not bad for a diet eh?!

I am pleased to report that having been on holiday for a week, I have only gained 1.5lb (I had allowed myself a gain of up to 5 lb so I am very very pleased :D ) I am still well in my target zone, so I still don't have to pay hooray!

hmm just tasted again to see if I can pin point it but it just has a weird taste to it - could be the chick peas not sure though I suspect I'll be filling up on mash & veg tonight :rolleyes:

I hope it was okay! That's the point where I just add red wine, I'm afraid - makes all things taste edible

nah it was horrid :rotfl: I ended up just eating the mash & veg so it looks like today is now a green day & not a EE (oh well at least I can have another HEB:D)

I'm sure I've seen on here some helpful soul post a kind of 'checklist' of things to look at if you're not losing weight (like drinking enough, for example). I'm getting frustrated that my weight loss has stopped, even though I tried superspeed last week I think I need to go back to basics.

If you havent done so well could be worth posting a food diary on here, one of us will go through it for you & pick out any problems. Could be something really simple. Dont lose heart tho, it will work for you, it's just a matter of getting your head around it all.

hi i went with my friend last week for our 1st weigh in and she had put 0.5lb onshe was gutted but i wouldnt worry if i was you because you might go next week and have a reall good loss and i wouldnt pack smoking in the same time as dieting they say do one thing at a time or it might be to much for you stick at it and good luck on your weigh in next week[/qu

thanks for that, I was so upset I had pizza for my tea followed by yummy chocolate, but im now planning my meals for the week and really hoping my weight loss will be much better next week. If I stil dont lose much im gonna cry, I had even made sin free quiches this week and I have never done anything like that. LOL. Never mind. Im also going to drink lots more water

To be honest that looks pretty good.

Things like varying your healthy extras can help, drinking plenty of water, making sure you weigh anything that does need weighing. So easy to get 28g totally wrong!

Keeping a food diary helps & making sure you use your syns, they're there to be used an enjoyed. On one of my other SW attampts I found if i didnt use my syns I wouldn't lose.

My best suggestion is to go back to basics, do everything like it was your 1st week. Eat lots, thats the best thing about SW!

Hope some of this helps! :T
