New Year, New You with Slimming World

What has happened to the app? I seem to have lost the ability to record my daily syns!

I'm not sure the EESP is for me, no yoghurt? No pasta?

Think I'll just stick with what I know

To be honest I wasn't 100% sure what a spiraliser was. Are you planning to use it to make 'noodles' and the like for the Extra Easy SP?

It's just another kitchen gadget:o.. I like my kitchen gadgets but yes it's to make noodles and I did see a recipe for string fries :drool: using it.

You can also make vegetable "rice" by cutting up the noodles a bit..

I have been using my julienne peeler thing but the strips aren't long enough.. Fingers crossed it works!!

We're off to the shops today to get some healthy items to eat.. Going to make a beef stew :drool: I think.. It's blooming freezing so need something a bit hearty! Also going to make cockie-leekie (sp) soup... Recipe from the SW website.

Ohh forgot to say hi to all the new people :wave: welcome to the board.

The website was playing up too.. I think they must be updating stuff and it's making it all a bit wonky!

I don't get the yogurt thing either.. One part of the website says yogurt is too low in protein therefore isn't a P food but then another part says you can have it *confused*

Not sure they should have given out the packs until the consultants had time to explain it first..

Hi everyone, I dipped in an out of the Autumn thread but now I'm determined to actually join the SW thread on here. I follow the plan at home so have no idea about the new plans but have been doing ok on the plain red / green / extra easy so shall stick to that.

Having a green day today (need to up the veg intake after the recent festivities)

B - Porridge (HEB, made with water), banana
L - HM Split pea soup, cherry tomatoes
D - Quorn chilli con carne with rice and salad
S - clementines, 1 ferrero rocher (3.5 syns)

Can I ask a quick question please?
I'm going to have scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast but have found differing amounts for a HEB for the bread.
How much should it be - it's an 800g medium sliced Hovis whole meal loaf?

Thanks for the new thread Shala!

Well, I have gone off track a little the last few days starting with far too many chocolate fingers and quality street yesterday and ending with a celebratory Pizza Hut meal tonight. Celebratory because I found out yesterday that I am pregnant! So I'm thanking Slimming World, as it must be the 5lbs I've lost that have made it happen finally!

Not sure when to tell my consultant as it's still very early days but equally I want to make sure I'm eating appropriately. I shouldn't need to put on much weight as I'm already on the hefty side! Put on a stone with DD and it all came off within 3 weeks of the birth!

:T:T:T Congratulations musogirl295 :T:T:T

Hi all,


To accelerate my slow but steady slimming world journey I would like to join this forum for extra support and to try to make new friends. I was looking for something on facebook but did not find the main SW page that helpful.


About me


I am 36, 5ft 8 and have a lovely daughter aged 5 and son now 6 months old.


I joined slimming world June 13 and weighed a shocking 19stone 5. I got down to 16stone 10 but then discovered I was pregnant so decided not to continue at group in Oct 13. My lovely son was born June 2014.


I rejoined July 14 and weighed 16 stone 13lb for about 5 weeks. Sadly in August my partner perforated his bowel and ended up in intensive care with 2 major operation so I stopped going to group but largely eat slimming world but did some stress eating and when I returned to group I was 4.5lb down from when I left weighing 15stone 10lb. I am now at 15stone 1/2 lb. I maintained today (OK as Xmas) but the 2 previous weeks I lost 1/2 a pound each week which was disappointing...


My aim is 12 stone as want to realistic and will re-evaluate when I get there.


I have read lots of the previous thread and found all your posts inspiring and to hit my goal in 2015 I need to keep motivated.


Happy New Year and I would love to enjoy any challenges.


THANKS XXXX

Cat.. Sorry this is probably a bit late now.. But usually it's 1 slice from an 800g thick sliced loaf, 2 from a 400g..

Your HeB should weigh 60g, so if you weighed it then you can work out how many slices from your medium cut loaf..

Welcome back ruby :wave:

Just transferred all my old weight info into my new pack and it's rubbish!! They've took out the column where you put what you actually weigh, there's just the +/- column and cumulative weight loss now... I don't like change wish I'd carried on with my old book!
