    I've just looked at the SW website and at one point it says "tuck into 2 Ryvita spread with Quark"

    Has anyone ever "tucked into" a Ryvita?

    Maybe I'm in a strange mood, but I just thought it was funny

  • Hi Everyone

    I'm wondering if I could join your challenge. I started Slimming world on Monday.
    When I tell everyone I'm on a diet I get told I don't need to lose weight but they don't see whats underneath my clothes!! My aim is to lose 2lb a week up until April 25th when I leave for a holiday in Florida.
    My main motivation being that at the moment I don't fit in any of my summer clothes and I just don't feel comfortable with my body for the first time in my life.
    I'm really enjoying slimimg world at the moment as I just don't feel like I'm on a diet.
    Make £10 a day in May- £90/£150

    Just had a look at the menu (I'm bored), seems quite good for slimming I think.





    What about salmon fillet, spud & side salad 787 cal


    Skinny Chicken burger with salad 480 kcal


    Steak with salad


    Chicken Caesar Salad is 408 kcals which is good


    Chicken pasta 600 kcals


    5 bean chilli with rice around 500 cals


    Loads of Jacket spuds for around 500 cals with filling like chili, tuna etc

    I went for a jacket potato In the end with bean chilli and salad:-)

    Hi all

    Didn't get a chance to check in last night and have just caught up on 4 -5 pages. I have been giggling here like a loon, just as well DH is away for the night, and the kids think I am laughing at bubble guppies lol.

    1.5lb loss for me last night please shala and thanks for the chart. Well done daisy on SOTW.:T:T

    menu today was:
    Breakfast: cheesy scrambled egg (3 syns for cheese) and beans
    snack: alpen (3syns), satsuma
    lunch: chicken, cucumber, tomatoes and couscous
    dinner: Keema curry (had carrots, mushrooms and sugar snap peas in) and rice

    was intending to have berries and yoghurt for pud but too stuffed
    after dinner, Supper I planned to have my HeA and HeB tonight but not sure what as I am so full lol.

    total syns: 6 (9 to carry over to the weekend wine :rotfl:)

    BEG - There is definitely no nights of passion forecast or on the horizon lol. Unless Jeffrey Dean Morgan arrives at my door!


    Its a nightmare going down through the sizes in everything but you'll be happy at the end. I didn't spend too much on the way down and bought trousers etc for work out of Primark. I've now managed to build up a half decent wardrobe but it has taken ages!! Knickers def next on the list to get decent supplies built up!

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan I thought - who's he???? Did a quick google and yep he'll do :p :rotfl::rotfl:

    On the knicker front - about a dozen or so pairs of 24s have been removed - some of them looked as though they had hardly been worn but they had to go ;) Just getting into the top end of Primark sizes so hopefully by the spring it will be better. Just topping up with a few bits from George and Tu. Great getting from 'normal' ranges rather than having to look at Evans etc.
    Hello all!Room for one more?

    I joined my SW group (again) last night. All 4 of the "newbies" were returning members who had fallen off the wagon.
    Our consultant was bigger than ever, but told us it had taken her 6 years to regain her weight! Well that's OK then. She has never been very inspiring I'm afraid.

    Anyway, to be positive, with the support of all you lovely people and the members of my group with their handy tips I will soon be back to my target weight.

    I may not post a lot, but I will be reading with interest.

    Welcome to our madhouse Lucy Lastic and helenjenkins :hello:

    Oh Heron Foods didn't have the Mullers or the Danone 0% - shame but I will get over it.

    DH is making the Ultimate Spaghetti Bolognaise (out of latest SW mag). He is replacing the celery with peas as 'someone' forgot to get some when out shopping. Will give you my verdict later.

    Go careful everyone if you are out and about tonight as it was freezing hard when we got in around 4pm.

    Well done on your 1.5lb loss Maisie. :T I have just printed out the Keema curry for us to try sometime.

    Was planning on having the Overnight Oats for supper tonight as I am on just an EE day and the yoghurt would be ok but guess who forgot to put the oats in to soak :(. Will have to think of something else now.

    Talking of inappropriate convos, I had a lentil curry last night and I was trumping like a good 'un on the treadmill this morning. I felt quite sorry for the other people at the gym. Need to consider more carefully my menus the night before my runs! )


    Ha ha this happened to me once in Step Aerobics and I was sure someone was going to say something it was bad.


    When I get wind problems I get it bad


    Sitting here currently with chronic trapped wind. Pain in my back in unreal : (


    Needs rid of fast as I won't sleep tonight otherwise!


    Don't know whats done it too me today really don't : ( A grapefruit maybe
    The body is a strange thing

    My son read something about tummy ache, lie on your left side and rub tummy clockwise [or was it anti clockwise, im so rubbish at giving advice :rotfl:].
    When I have trapped wind so bad I can't stand up straight I do find laying down helps to release it. I also keep windeze handy as laying down in a class of 4/5 years and 'releasing' isnt an option :D. Walking round and 'releasing' quietly IS as you can blame the kids :p:rotfl:
    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T
    Keep the Faith All

    Heartbroken 12.12.13 :cry:
