 | Hi My husband and I are very new, only joined yesterday. We keep seeing SWG bread on the menus, have researched this online but where can you buy this in the UK,or is there an alternative. Any help would be much appreciated. |
 | Good day fellow cruisers. It snowed all day yesterday in the Midlands and it’s snowing again today. Temperatures zero. Pranged the car on the way to visit Sainsbury’s for our weekly shop. Not a good start to the week. When I was looking at bread flour in the store I came across Stevia. That was useful. I intend making my own bread with wholemeal flour but the recipe asks for vitamin c powder. Anyone know where I can get that from? I’ve just assembled a chicken casserole with lemon and tarragon sauce. I love casserole’s when the weather is freezing outside. Jackiee – I’ve visited Italy a number of times in my travels – Tuscany, Naples, Sorrento, The Blue Lagoon, and the Italian lakes to name a few places. Our son was stationed near Naples with the Nato forces in the 1970s. We visited him a few times. It’s a beautiful country and one of my favourite holiday destinations. |
 | Congratulations to all those who have lost weight. Did not weigh myself for the last couple of days. Went to Goolwa (about an hour away) stayed overnight with friends, drank some more wine and had the most amazing walk along the beach and paddled in the waves. First exercise I have done cause I think I have broken my small toe and waiting for it to heal. |
 | Shezzabell, if you have made a menu planner, every time you are given a fruit potion, hit the refresh button at the side, it give you a list of what other fruit option you can change for, i,e 1 apple or 2 plums or 2 tangerines or 1\2 banana. This list would probably be a good list to stick too I think, GOOD LUCK |
| | Hi, Annemarie. First, if you want a quieter set of responses, the easiest thing is to start your own topic – this one happens to be very, very lively and interactive. |
| | Good Morning,evening or afternoon all, reading emails is becoming a full time job here 😀 but I love it all the comments and feedback are great motivation that so many of us are on board working on our own personal goals. Thanks for accepting on Facebook Seaborn and Anneleeromos – its wonderful to see both your family pics – I have too much pics of my girl I know but its how my mum and family keep up with her progress since I only visit once a year 🙁 I’m sure your daughter will adjust very quickly Seaborn, I was panicking when my girl went to nursery this year because I knew I’d miss here so much and also wondered what I would do with all that time but now I still have to run to make it on time picking her up from the bus stop!! time flies when your having fun. Annalee my wee cheeky monkey gave me a lecture y’day when I dropped the herb ball from the tomato salsa. After cooking, the little ball its full of herbs and tomato sauce so dropped from my height, it didn’t just open on the floor but splattered everything in near vicinity!!! yip and all up the white walls, cheeky wee monkey and hubby gave me such a ribbing 🙂 Lol Awayagain4, if you go away this year you know for sure, there be a heat wave in uk when your gone. But at least your wee cute dog keeps you smiling with his snow treking. Annemarie – you could try starting a new posting on the community chat for Ossie – this might be a solution for you to get a more direct rely without having to trail through all our chatter (blethering!). Hope that helps you. Chia – on the apps page theres an app called ‘Menu History’ (last one) which gives you details of all your personal menus, so that will let you see if your last menu planner worked. If it didn’t remember to save your changes and hit the finish tab on the menu planner app to generate a new menu, hope this helps. Did you have a lovely church service yesterday? Hope you told all you church friends about your new adventure here. Kelz – 1 pound is EXCELLENT, everyone counts, keep it up and happy wrapping 😀 – is it still cooler for you all down under now? Cntwall, Nice to see a picture of you, just noticed it and well done on quiting smoking 4 years ago. I quit 5 years ago, feel great but understand the weight gain bit. Yes I do live in Italy now (for 6 years) between Rimini and San Marino, (but I’m originally from Scotland) where did you hubby do his army time here? Hope you have fun planning your anniversary too, inbetween your heavy working week and keeping you family and house going 😀 Rebeccardors – BRILLIANT NEWS.. that your doing so well with the weight loss 🙂 hope the snow clears of soon. Linbar- the FAQ’s at the bottom has loads of information and link to clarify SWG ect, but true what cntwall says, however I can’t get that here so I opt for ryecrispbreads or whole grain rolls. There’s also a refresh button at the end of each item on your menu planner which give you alternative to certain food items. good luck. Easymate. You would have to adjust your breakfast and lunch section on your meal planner only include what you can manage at work. but remember you will have to have your snacks to keep up your energy level up and stay in fat burning mood, goos luck. Djfer, hope you managed to get a menu planner done, just remember, pick things that you like and are available and possible for you. Hit save after each section, ie breakfast, snack ect. Then hit the finish button on the last page (snacks) this will generate a menu. Any other info you need post on a community page, there always someone to help. Ossie is a Trimdown club nutritionist so she’ll clarify things for her when you give her more info. Good luck. Marinaheading, good luck on eating EVERYTHING from your menu planner – it gives you a great energy boost and keeps you in fat burning mode. Michelecb – goodmorning, glad your on board. 1st time I have tried dieting online and loving it so hope you have the same buzz with it, good luck. Anyone I missed sorry. All the other cruisers…. sorry for always giving you so much reading, will try to do less tomorrow 😉 Thinking of you all and hope you all have a happy healthy eating day. 😀 |
 | Hi all i’m shezzabell (Sheryl) i was wondering if anyone can tell me the good fruits to eat and the bad. i know they all have natural sugar and some are worse than others so HELP! please lol |
 | Hi everyone, |
 | Seaborn…. Can I borrow your SPEED BOAT???? So many new people. This is great. Welcome everyone. And as for the SWG bread. I thought the same thing about the price in the beginning. However. It may be more expensive, but it also fills you up much nicer, and it is easier for your body to digest. Not to mention all the extra nutrition the regular breads in the store have. Since it is more filling, You don’t eat as much of it like your other breads. Just thought I would throw that in for the newbies coming aboard the Crouse. |
 | Ossie: I have followed the menu plan for two weeks. Now what? Do I keep following it until I have lost what I want to? Or do I try to eat similarly prepared foods like the menu? I’d like to get to easier ways of figuring the correct combinations of carbs/fats/etc. to the way we used to eat; for instance, it’s easier to eat a turkey sandwich with some fruit for lunches than it is to prepare meals a day ahead (for my husband to bring his lunch to work). Also, I’m not sure how I stop receiving every response except those directed to me? |
 | CAN I CREATE A COMPLETE 7 DAY MENU WITH DIFFERENT FOODS than my first 7 day menu? I tried, but I don’t think it took. There’s no place to print it off and I don’t see it anyplace. |
 | Hello. I think that this very full menu will leave no room for eating ‘bad’ foods because there is so much to eat! when i did Weight Watchers 10 years ago I realised you need to eat to loose weight. Gotta get that body into fat burning mode! I’ll be eating as close as I can to the plan considering costs and budget costraints. I’ll be saving heaps on not buying chocolate and diet coke!!!! |
 | Hi Linbar, I am no expert but I believe its Sprouted Wheat Grain, the intro. info tells you all about it. Its hard to find unless you go to health store. Plus its like 5.00 a loaf and I can’t afford to spend that on bread so we subbed it for Healthy Life sugar free Whole Grain Wheat Bread which is just as good I think. Ossie can tell you for sure. Hope that helps! |
 | I have just decided to try this club to loss some weight. I have entered my preferences but when I look at suggested menus I find Quinoa which I do not eat. Also what does SWG mean please? |
