Hello Minimins! I've been following Slimming World for two months now and only managed to lost a dismal 2lb :( Now I must admit to having a few meals off plan in this time, but I would have hoped that the weight would be shifting a little faster. I have been following extra easy and making...

Well, a late one today - I almost forgot to fill out my diary! Today has been another good day. I went to my mums for lunch and she had all this lovely crusty french bread which I am proud to say I avoided - my mum was shocked to say the least as crusty bread is my absolute fave. I'm really...

Hello! Today has been another good day so far. I had a little chocolate treat last night so I have amended my food diary accordingly! I am surprised by how well I am just getting through it this time with no urges to go in Greggs for a bacon sandwich before work (I work above a Greggs, bad...

Well, I didn't fill my diary in yesterday - naughty! - the trip away was a bit of a nightmare, out of the house from 5am until 8 and the food wasn't great. I managed on a quarter of a cheese sandwich and some fruit and then a train station chilli with rice on the way home. It could have been...

Another vaper here - I gave up ages ago but have since been on and off the cigs (usually when I've had a drink). The vapour e cigs are fantastic, I have been using mine all week and managed to stick to the diet no problem. As cherry-blossom says, they really do stop the cravings. Currently...

Thanks ladies :) pineappleplant I agree! They were delicious and so low in syns! It is rubbish for eating out - my have is the Pizza Express Leggara's - used to have them even when I wasn't dieting but found out they are 13.5 syns for half a pizza :( there's barely anything there - so no Pizza...

Oh that is good! Once the chocs are all out of the house after Christmas that will be it ;) Definitely - they have from me too, nowhere near as much as Weight Watchers though - joined there so many times but can never stick to the teeny portion sizes! Fingers crossed SW will work in my favour...

Thank you! It sure is! My boyfriend sat next to me and had two packets of crisps and half a box of christmas chocs last night while I munched on a carrot! Before now I'd have joined him and said 'oh I'll start again tomorrow' but not this time! Funnily enough he's just sat next to me now with a...

I agree, feeling bloody fantastic to be back on plan! I've been one and off for the last probably 3 months after losing a stone (suffice to say it has mostly gone back on) and now that I'm back on plan I can't understand why I even went off in the first place! Good luck with your journeys ladies xx

Hello ladies! Today has been another day on plan - feeling bloody fantastic and more determined than I have been in years! Only two more days until WI so fingers crossed, a little worried about my trip to Andover on Weds and the lunch that might come with it but there's no point worrying until...

I'm reading! Here to subscribe! Your good looks great - I'm determined this time too and I've started a diary to keep me on track! Fingers crossed 2014 is our year :) x

Today has been another fabulous day on plan, feeling much more positive thanks to the lovely people of Minimis and a talking to from the other half! I'm trying to use most of my syns within my meals instead of on high fat treats just to avoid temptation in the first month or so, I'm also having...

Ooo good luck for you! Fingers crossed :) x

and you! When is your weigh day? x

me too! I want a positive loss this week! Fingers crossed for you too :) x

Thanks pineappleplant :) I'm actually drinking more water, a lot more than usual so possibly a bit of water retention? I'm sure that I'll see a loss come weigh in on Thursday! Spent today planning, looking a the slimming world hash tag on ********* so very motivated now! x

I've got three stone to lose too and am aiming for 6 months but not sure ill do it ;) definitely want to be down to 10 stone by my holiday at the end of June! Diet looks great - here to subscribe! :) x

Thank you both! Had a really good day on plan today :) will update after tea and you know when you just feel thinner? I think it's less bloatage from not drinking etc so feeling better :) Haha ACH my boyfriend has done that for me too! When I told him how frustrated he was he went and his them...

Hello Mini Mins! My name is Charlotte and I'm 26 years old, I've been following diets on and off for probably the past six years and usually drop a stone and a bit and then give in. This year I am going on my first holiday with the fella and being a maid of honour for my best friends wedding so...

Oh dear - not the best weekend ever. Went ever so slightly off plan, and by that I mean very off plan. Saturday I was in the support car for a charity bike ride from Wetherby to Scarborough that my dad, brother and 13 other members of my family and friends were doing in aid of Brain Tumor...

So last night ended up not as good as I had planned - minus a non scale victory! Ended up having a chinese but kept it to a chicken chow mein and didn't eat the whole portion, counting it as 10 syns anyway! And the chicken as my 2 x HXB. They were my only syns so it wasn't as bad as it could...

Oh today is getting a bit tough so i thought I would come and hash it out on here instead of being tempted by my work mates delicious looking packet of Rocky biscuits! I can't seem to stop wanting to snack. I felt incredibly ill this morning so really didn't fancy my planned brekki of grapes...

Another on plan day yesterday! I am LOVING this diet. Thought I had a bit of a slip up by having two chicken pakoras from the work canteen at lunch time and was punishing myself but my only other syns were a glass of wine so in the end it wasn't so bad! Slept in this morning badly so not as...

Thank you Squeakie :) I agree - some of the pics from the Hen Do have been posted on FB and I have to say my fears we realised! I dressed as a lion for fancy dress and size wise I looked like my character! Also good luck - we must embrace those mirrors eventually! How are you finding Low GI? So...

Just had to pop on and write here instead of picking up the brownie that has just been placed on my desk!!!! GAHHHHH! It's only a bitesized piece but this is where I have always gone wrong - little of this, little of that etc and it all adds up doesn't it? Why is work so full of tempting...

Hi Guys, I've been an avid Minimins reader for years on and off - I've even dabbled in a WW Diary at some point in the last six months - but have never posted a great deal. Anyway, after a fair few months of being in an anxiety ridden slump I have decided to do something about it and get...

Hi :) Ooo my Mum is from Queensbury!! I spend quite a bit of time up there as my nana and uncles and cousins still live there :) Congrats on the wedding! When is it planned for? xxx

Thanks Sammie - glad to see it isn't just me but sorry about her doing that with Carl they are just rubbish! Oh yeah she sent me things saying they are still together but i know they aren't. Yeah she's refusing to look after the kids so that he can't see me because she's told him if he has the...

Just had a lovely shower so thought I would sit down with a black tea and fill out my food diary: Thursday 24th January Breakfast 2 x Special K Berry Bars - 4pp Sugar Free Raspbery Jelly - 0pp Total - 4pp Lunch Cheese & Mushroom Quiche - 6pp Pasta n Sauce - 3pp Salad - 0pp Total - 9pp...

Totally agree with you both - amazing will power to throw away emmalouise! I am like that with the WW Lemon Slices - all good as 2pp per pack - not so good when you eat all 6 in one sitting. Defeats the object of low fat diet food ;) xxx

Thank you - that does reassure me. So far so good today but my word am I peckish now! Can't wait for my tea. Been trying to get a list together of what I'm going to go shopping for to save money and be healthy! Planning is not my forte though and need to think of things that can be used in more...

Of course dizzydawnie - the more the merrier :) I am loving the diet so far - though realised how large my portions have got since I last did WW - no surprises I gained over a stone in 4 months!! Will try and keep it up but the weekend is vast approaching!! hehe xxx

So I'm sat waiting for my boyfriend and decided I might as well fill my diary in as I'm so full from dinner I definitely won't be eating any more today!! Tuesday 22nd January Total Daily ProPoints Allowance: 26pp Total Weekly ProPoints Allowance: 46/49pp Breakfast Was at the Docs so skipped...

Pizza is amazing - it's truly unfair that it's so high in points!! Hopefully it will all balance out and it won't do too much damage. How can something that tastes so good be so bad?! xxx

Recipe sounds fab hun and probably much more for the points which is the prob with WW chips - 100g is not a right lot!! Will defs check pound land out! Just waiting for a quiche to cook - yummy!! xx

Hi Ladies, Thanks for subscribing EmmaLouise :) I hope you like! Sammie - what fab tips - i have already written some of them down ;) defs gonna check Iceland and pound stretcher - love having some weight watchers stuff in like the Pitta's and Pasta Sauces for when I want a treat :) OOO never...

Hi Ladies, Just here to subscribe - your diaries are fab emmalouise!! xxxx

Haha I know - Nando's isn't too bad though. Their salads are nice but expensive and I often begrudge paying like £10 for salad! So I didn't have chance to update last night so thought i would nip on before work this morning and do so. I am really struggling this week as I have absolutely now...

I used to work in birstall - I solely blame that KFC and McDonald's for getting me fat in the first place!! I was slim before I started working there hehe. So for todays food diary... Sunday 20th January Daily Points Allowance - 26pp Weekly ProPoints Allowance - 49pp Breakfast Cooked...

Yeah it was just as nice I really enjoyed it :) Yeah I am - I've always been a crazy, single party girl but since I met my boyfriend last year that's changed a bit and has made me really think about having kids and all that grown up stuff! Yeah the big snow disaster wasn't really so bad was it...

Here to subscribe! Your diaries look good :) I wondered about saving my weeklies for a treat on a weekend - only been following the diet for 5 days and have been spreading them out so far but the takeaway cravings are beginning to creep in so can see the appeal of saving them for something you...

Oh wow happy birthday for friday!! I'm a November baby so don't reach 26 till then - still feel like I'm 18 sometimes though and forget that I'm 5 years from 30 haha. Thanks - got up early this morning and made me and my boy a fry up his words to mine were 'Is that all your having?!' and I had...

Here to subscribe! I also live in Leeds :) Your diaries are fabulous! xxxx

Thank you for the know how SammieAnn :) Judging by the 87 I assume that's your year of birth?! If so we will be around the same age as I was born in 87 :) So I went to my parents today and got weighed - 11st 13.5!! Not good considering I was down to about 11st 2 this time last year! Oh well...

Thank you ladies :) As I am new to this site I don't know how to subscribe :( but love reading everyone else's diaries for inspiration. Think the rest of this week is going to be pretty boring as absolutely zero cash until pay day on Friday! I know - what I would do for a Chinese right now! Me...

So, day 3 it is. Today's been a little bit tough to be honest - really struggled with cravings and almost gave into the powers of a Double Decker at work but alas I stayed strong and kept my cool and didn't give in to its cruel nougaty temptation. I've just had my tea and feel nice and full so...

This MiniMins malarkey is complicated - think I'm doing the right thing to post diary number two but we will see - with any luck it will end up in the Slimming World thread or something... Anyway - onto the good stuff. So far so good today - I have eaten tea and still feel hungry but fancy a...

Hi Guys and Dolls, So, this is my very first post on MiniMins! I have been an avid reader for as long as I've been both on a diet and had access to the internet which - lets not lie - is basically the whole of my adult life (anyone else feel like they've been on a none stop diet since the were...
