Hey all, I'm in kildare, joined sw 6 weeks ago, just found this thread today!!
A lot of people in our class were looking for quark but couldn't get it, but our consultant told us how to make it ourselves...one pot of fat free natural yogurt 1/4 tsp salt mixed in, put a sieve lined with kitchen paper over a bowl, pour yogurt in and leave overnight, in the morning what left in the sieve is quark!! I've done it a few times and it works really well.
@sus_murf, you should be able to get Colemans mustard powder in Tesco, I pick some up there recently.

Hi to all the newcomers!!
Poppy, that's great to know about the quark. I searched everywhere for some when I first joined with no luck but then I stumbled across it by accident in my local Euro Spar. Might be worth a try for you guys if you have a store nearby.
Hope everyone else is doing well. I got my stone award last week and I was chuffed to bits as well as being completely shocked. I'd had two bad weekends before that and had missed the previous weigh in so was really expecting a gain. I'm not complaining though Just hope it doesn't catch up with me now on Tuesday!

Not down in Cork anyway I'd say - there's not much down here for Slimming World - because there are no classes here! The WW sausages are low in syns though and not too bad. Wouldn't bother with them normally, but I got them once for a bbq.
Am delighted to hear about the quark, I'm going to try make it tonight! I've passed up on a couple of recipes because I can't get it!

Morning ladies. Mind if I join in?
My name is Liz and I live in North Cork. I'm a mum of 1 absolutely adorable, but very energetic toddler son. I've been a yo-yo dieter for as long as I can remember. About 6 years back I weighed in at just under 9 stone, about 2 years later I was over 12 stone, then was just under 10 stone when I got married, and well between changing jobs, moving house, having a baby etc, I've somehow found myself at my heaviest ever.
I see there are a few of us from Cork. Slight disaster that there are no classes in the area yet, but hopefully we'll get them soon. I've been doing Slimming World for just over 3 months using the on-line subscription, but have decided to see if I can go it alone now and now that I've found this website I'm hoping you can all give me the kick up the backside I need when I inevitably fall off the wagon, again!
Started off with a weight of 216lbs, and am now only half a pound off 2 stones gone, so hoping to get that and maybe more) at my next weight in - I weigh in on Tuesday mornings.
I should probably point out that I'm a bit of a technophobe and have never signed up to any forums etc before (bar the SW one), so please be patient with me when I ask a load of questions about how I do such and such or where to find something etc.
Thanks.

Hi Liz,
It's great to get some new faces around here - I've been doing slimming world for almost 6 weeks now, and have lost 11lbs. I found it really slow at the start but it's picking up a bit now thankfully. I'm not expecting much of a loss tomorrow though - I was a little naughty this week!!
I'm in North Cork as well, it's a real pity there is no actual class, but I think I'm getting the gist of it from here and the SW website. The discussions here are really helpful to keep you on track. I also have an energetic little one, but mine is a 3yr old girl.
If you haven't found it yet, there is also a thread in the "Through the Stones" section, for people in the 13's aiming for the 12's.

Hi farmer me! If you've been at this since July I'm not sure what I can tell you, but maybe if you go at it like you are brand new? Have you gotten into a routine of eating all the same things? Maybe if you go through the list of super speed foods and incorporate as many of them as you can every day it might shift it. 3 stone is fantastic but I suppose it can be easy enough get into a rut at that point.
Hoping, I am not in a gym, I just do dvd's or the wii at home.
Welcome sleepymum, I'm doing it online as well. My weight is slow enough coming off, but I'm not feeling TOO deprived, so it's not so bad!
