I know this is totally off topic but I am trying to book a short break in Feb and it has suddenly occured to me it might be the English half term, could anyone confirm the dates for that?

Welcome N.Witch, hannahsmum (OMG - 8LBS??!) & Foofighter!

Lovely to have you all here!

As part your initiation ceremony - feel free to post your favourite recipe

PS Don't be scared of Image Therapy - it is quite harmless - and quite a buzz when the lb's are dropping off!

Thanks for the welcome!

Well I am back from group and it was great So pleased I went after all. I don't like talking in front of people but when it came to my turn to answer what my aims were and why I was there I found it quite easy to open up.

Although I know it is possible to lose weight on SW from my own experience going back and listening to the weight loss members have had is such an inspiration :T

Day 1 tomorrow

(will come back with a recipe! )

I need to lose 3.5st and am thinking of joining SW as they can offer me support as a breastfeeding mum.
However, I don't go within 10 miles of artificial sweetners or freaky engineered stuff like 'low fat cheddar' or processed meals.
I cook almost everything from scratch, bake my own bread, etc.

So if it's a diet that relies heavily on Nimble and Mullerlights I am going to be desperately unhappy and my finances would take a huge dent.

What do you think?

Wow i always said this site was great and now this as well- I'm amazed this thread exists and only saw it on the off chance - Thankyou. I have been a sw member for a year and lost 2 and a half stones, i have another 2 to go for target and have been a bit de motivated these last few months through circumstance. I love the recipes and the choice as i have a healthy appetite and like cooking its a good combination- in the past i liked my own cooking too much, hence the weight gain!!Would love to join you all. My fav recipe is the pasta quiche- has anyone tried it yet?

I am not sure if this link will work - cant quite work out how to do it, but if you type the above, this lady has some amazing slimming world recipes.

Just checked and it does work.

oooh thank you larmy, some of those recipes do sound lovely. I have got to give that lemon meringue pie a go (even if it does use sweetener), a syn free "proper" pudding would be lovely. You get a bit bored of yoghurty things after a while

I am really pleased, I know how difficult being centre of attention can be (and I'm an outgoing sort!) - Just think how SW is going to change all different parts of you! You'll be running your own group byt the end of it

I lost 3 stone with SW about5 years ago.Kept it off for years but due to stress put weight back on.Started to do it myself a few months back and managed to lose 2 stone by December.However over Christmas and since I have put weight back on.So I have 2 stone to lose and am so glad this thread is here.

ok quick question re the recipes in the site larmy posted. Quite often she adds a HE to the whole dish but a portion of the dish she says would be 1/4 HE. Are you supposed to do this? I always thought you couldn't mix and match your HEs like this that you had to have the whole thing or syn it. You know I think that confused emoticon should be my avatar, I am always confused:D
