Sorry for not being on, had week from hell and it's not gonna get much better anytime soon :-( hope ur ok Jo? X

Defo think a sat morning WI is more forgiving than a Monday morning :-D well done on your fab loss!! How are you finding it cost wise now? X

My aim is 6lb this month, I'm going to be extra good until the 22nd march when I've got a girls night out in Blackpool for a friends 30th, lots of alcohol and junk food will be consumed!! Lol

Gain of 1.75lb for me, feel dissappointed but it was to be expected this week! It's half term here so straight away I wasn't going be walking 2 miles a day, and then I just couldn't stick to it! More determined this week, I'm gonna get back into the 14's next Friday!!!

Gain of 1.75lb, feel dissappointed but it was to be expected this week! It's half term here so straight away I won't be walking 2 miles a day, and then I just couldn't stick to it. I feel gutted, but I'm going to try my hardest now this week. X

Gain of 1.75lb for me please daz, feel dissappointed but it was to be expected this week! It's half term here so straight away I won't be walking 2 miles a day, and then I just couldn't stick to it. I missed my challenge this month but I'm going to get back on it now!!

My weeks going awful Jo, I just can't seem to stick to it!! It's half term so I'm not walking my usual 2 miles a day either! And to top it off my daughter had decided 4am is a good time to wake up!! Gone from bad to worse this week, I know I've had a gain tomorrow! Hope your meetings go ok Jo! Xx

Thankyou! I didn't like the seasoning on the cheese and ham one but will try the garlic and herb one next!

I fry my steak in fry light. My husband managed to burn my dinner yesterday, and said I will go to the chippy, they mean no harm, lol how's u anyways x

It's stuffed chicken with cheese and ham from Iceland, it's called posh grub. And also the creamy tikka one too. X

Me 2, I'm desperate to find out the syn value for something but can't find it anywhere x

Sounds good so far and also good you've been active. Are you on the SW online

Thanks for this, they work perfectly

Hi, I've got a pack of chicken stuffed with cheese and ham and also chicken stuffed with tikka, anybody know the syn value? TIA

jo you look gorgeous! But I know what you mean when up you don't see or feel it yourself, if I was you, I would use the photo as a motivator, but also as a 'look what i can achieve' photo for when you do get there (which will be before may!!) Keep 100% honest food diary either on here, or I use...

May is still a while away jo!! Don't loose heart, I had my treat night last nigh and I'm back n it today, although food wise it was pretty controlled compared to previous treat nights. The bottle of rosé wasn't tho ;-) I don't drink often tho, and can honestly say I haven't drank since new year...

I did it!! Lost 2lb taking me to 14st 13.5, so on I go to the next bracket. See you all there soon!! Xx

WI this morning and I lost 2lb taking me to 14st 13.5lb and officially into the 14's!! :D

WI and I've lost 2lb getting me my 1 stone and Into a new stone bracket!!

WI and I've lost 2lb getting me my 1 stone and Into a new stone bracket!!

WI this morning and I've lost 2lb getting me my stone, and into a new stone bracket. I've updated mine I know how you feel, 2 weeks ago I only lost 0.25lb but I stuck to it and last week I lost 3.75lb. And I've updated for you too. Xx Cans1983 - pledged 60lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500 - pledged...

Morning Jo, today was WI and I've lost 2lb which gets me my 1 stone, and also takes me down to 14st 13.5lb! Soo happy right now! Hate the morning after guilt and bloating :-( drink plenty of water and maybe try to have some more super free on you plate for today to relieve the bloating. And as...

WI tomorrow morning and I'm so close to the 14's, last week I was 15st 1.5 so I'm really hoping I lose even just enough to get me into the 14's and my 1 stone. I still can't believe I'm losing it this time ( always fail before I reach a stone).

Try not to let it demotivated you, some weeks you can have a small loss or a gain for no reason. I know how disheartening it can be, and how easy it is to give up if you lose your determination. I've attempted slimming world a few times now and failed each time until, this time! I started...

That's what I'm like, spend the whole week eagerly awaiting post WI :-) xx

I don't think tomorrow will be bad, had a sneak peek before and if it stays the same until tomorrow I will be ecstatic!! Enjoy your treats!! I can't wait till tomorrow so I can have my treat night! Xx

Hey ladies. I'm exactly the same, a chocolate addict but I have found my medicine ;-) of an evening when my chocolate demon comes out I have a highlight hot choc (2syns) and a freddo bar (5syns) I know a freddo bar is not a lot of chocolate but I've discovered a little trick! Dip the freddo into...

How you getting on jo? I've had a good day bad day kind of week :-( parents evening didnt go so well and I've been unwell. Not sure if I'm looking forward to or dreading WI tomorrow :-/ xx

Looking good Jo!! And plenty of super free :-) how's your nan? X

Hey all, can I join in? I'm not quite into the 14's yet but I'm so close!! I'm 15st 1.5lb so fingers crossed next Friday I will be with you :-)

Today I've weighed in at 15st 1.5lb so hopefully I will be down into the 14!! Last time I remember being in that category was 3 yrs ago!

I'm sorry to hear about your nan, hopefully the bad weather does down to allow you to travel to her soon, I know how horrible it can be when a loved one is unwell and the weather is preventing you, my grandad died the weekend we had extremely heavy snow, there was 3ft of snow and it was...

I lost 1/4 lb last week, and 3.75lb this week, so close to my stone!! I've updated for you all, hope you didn't mind :-) Cans1983 - pledged 60lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500 - pledged 42lbs - lost 4.25lbs Rosielea - pledged 21lbs - lost 1lbs kidston87 - pledged 21lbs - lost 0lbs chezz - pledged...

-3.75lb for me please daz. Xx

Morning ladies! Sorry I've been absent, I've had limited internet for the past 10 days, you seem very determined again Jo! I hope it works well for you and helps keep you on track.! Today's my WI day and I felt very disheartened last week with only a 1/4 lb loss but I was more determined this...

Been very good this week (apart from my usual treat night) and I've lost 3.75lb!! I'm made up!! That takes me to 12.75lb lost total! Fingers crossed I get my stone next week!

Loss of 0.25lb. Had a bad week so I expected it to be worse to be fair!

-0.25lb please. Had a bad week so I expected worse to be fair

I'm following SW but on my own at home, I only keep on tract due to my treat day, when on a Friday after WI the think I've been desperate for all week I can have albeit a KFC, Chinese or just more chocolate. I don't Count the syns, but come Saturday morning I'm back to it and I know if I fancy...

How do you get the stickers??

Don't let it sabotage it, right today off as a blip and start again, don't let a bad day ruin a good week. What plan are you following? X

First thing is more accurate, you might be right about this week due to time change but it really is better, I weighted at 11pm last night and I weighed 15st 8.5 and this morning at 6.30am I weighed 15st 5.5 so 3lb difference in 7 1/2 hours! Good luck :-) x

I've put you down for 24lb pledged for now, you can always up it :-D I've updated for you besneys :) well done on your loss Hope no one minded me updating! Cans1983 - pledged - 60lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500-pledged-42lbs- lost 5.75lbs Rosielea-pledged-21lbs - lost 1lbs...

Do you set yourself challenges? To be at my target weight it would be so long before I could treat myself :-) so I've set myself treats and challenges. My challenges are 2lb a week, so I work out jan was 8lb, it helps me have a mini goal. And I am also putting my £5 WI money into a pot along...

Thanks Hun, I've never been this committed, I've always started enthusiastic but by week 2/3 I would have given in and started having gains :-( for me to be week 4 and lost nearly 9lb I am so happy! Xx

Morning daz, can you put me down for 8lb again please? Thanks!!

Well done Joanne :-) today's my WI day and I've lost 2.25lb meaning I've got my 1/2 stone :-) I had set myself a January challenge of 8lb and I've lost 8.75lb! So so happy right now!!

2.25 lb off for me, got my 1/2 stone :-)

This week I've lost 2.25lb :-) heres the updated list Cans1983 - pledged - 60lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500-pledged-42lbs- lost 5.75lbs Rosielea-pledged-21lbs - lost 1lbs kidston87-pledged-21lbs - lost 0lbs chezz-pledged-70lbs - lost 9lbs loulou83-pledged-35lbs - lost 5lbs Joanne-pledged-70lbs -...

Hey I weigh 15st 7 lb, weighted 16st 0.5 lb when I started do I'm nearly 1/2 stone off. Together we can get into those 14's!

I had a girls treat last week of pizza and felt rotten afterwards, and my hubby got in at stupid o'clock last night so got KFC on the way home and I felt sick after that too!! Really don't think my body agrees with takeaway food anymore. Maybe your the same. I believe in a treat night after WI...

Sorry I've not been around, had a crap week, with my daughter hurting herself and then I've just been in a foul grumpy 'I don't give a f**k' sort of mood and The penny dropped last night when I come on. I don't have periods and the last one was 6 months ago, but when I do it lasts for weeks and...

1.75lb off for me please :-)

1.75lb off for me please :) thanks

I had hell with the implant constant bleeding for 3 months and then it stopped for 2 months, but I came on the day after I landed in the Dominican for my wedding/honeymoon, and I was so heavy I was very faint and unwell. Soon as I got back to U.K I went and demanded it out, they can't refuse...

Ouch! What they doing for you Hun?

Horrible night last night :-( my little girl scared the hell out of us! She fell onto the bottom of her wardrobe and hurt her face it bruised and swelled in the time it took us to get upstairs when we heard the bang.

Do you have much wastage Jo?

Are you buying more fresh meat? I do find the meat and fruit to be the most costly things, could you try a local butcher? Or the market? I think slimming world can sometimes seem expensive when you go from having cheap and unhealthy meals that would cost £5 max for 2 people to costing easily...

I do sometimes find it expensive as my husband won't eat most of the slimming world meals, when I'm having meat and veg and potatoes I use frozen mixed veg, a bag easy lasts me a week and its £1 something for a mix of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. What did you used to spend on a food shop...

Well I had my girls treat night last night and ate a whole dominoes pizza to myself, but I am back on it today and more determined than ever to lose, been for a extra walk today and will tomorrow to, then my usual school walks every day as well as 30mins on my exercise bike every day and I'm...

Hi Aimee and welcome :-) I don't know if u would agree with that fully, I eat my evening meal late every night, and we have various things from potatoes, pasta, rice etc. and I wouldn't say it makes me less likely to lose, you should aim to eat earlier on so it doesn't sit in your tummy all...

2lb off for me this week, really happy :-)

Morning daz, 2lb off for me please. Thanks!

2lb off for me this week please

Morning ladies, sorry I haven't been on for a few days, had a few family issues going on. How your all doing well? Today is WI day and I've lost 2lb. Which I am happy about as that's my aim to lose 2 every week if possible

Really need to stop my obsessive morning weighing, I weighed less on Sunday than I do today :-/ I just don't get how it can fluctuate so much when I've stuck to plan 100%

Well done on your loss Hun! At least it's in the right direction! How's your eye this morning?

I didn't much like groups either, so I'm doing it at home.. Alone. Found the groups unhelpful!

Hey Dannie :-) food diarys looking good so far :-) try and get some super free in with every meal or almost every meal and that will help boost your losses! Well done on your first WI, are you going to a group?

I was naughty yes day and skipped the healthy extras, I was so full after my tea! I'm having a SW full English for breakfast, tuna sweet corn pasta for lunch and spag Bol for tea, got college tonight and we normally go to the cafe for a hot chocolate and cake :-/ don't know what I will do

Want a fantastic loss! Is this your first week? How much u wanting to lose all together! Well done! X

I used to but completely forgot to when I did the shopping! Any ideas what I can have quick and easy?

Sunday 12th January 2014 breakfast- nothing (wasn't hungry) lunch - huge salad which had lettuce, cucumber, sweet corn, melon( 2 types) egg and radish (mostly super free) with iceland hoisin duck skewers (free food) tea - iceland sliced lamb in minted gravy (free) with boiled potatoes and...

Ive looked and its only Philly light, damn! I've not had my HEA or HEB today and don't know what to have

Can we have full fat Philly as a HEA?

I've always been put off the idea of curry loaf! I'm just eating my lunch a huge salad with lettuce, cucumber, radish, sweet corn, melon (2 types) and egg with hoisin duck from Iceland. I don't normally like salad or rather lettuce and cucumber but this is yummy

Hi Emma, congratulations on your engagement! Nice to meet you!

OMG those chips were gorgeous! Crispy! Tiny bit of salt and I was regretting I didn't make more! My hubby had chips from the chip shop and I wasn't bothered at all! Have you tried freezing them

Steak with grated cheese on top, mushrooms, egg, mushy peas and SW chips! I can't wait!!

Thanks! Mine always used to be horrible but I can't remember what I did with them but it certainly wasn't that! I'm really looking forward to my tea tonight :-) steak egg, mushrooms, mushy peas and chips! Are mushy peas super free?

Hi littlemissnaughty, how do you cook your SW chips? I'm going to cook some tonight after a few years of not doing them. Tips and tricks much appreciated :-)

My food today will be breakfast- 2 weetabix (HEB) with 125ml semi-skimmed milk (1/2 HEA) and a banana(1/3 super free) lunch - low fat supernoodles chilli chicken with mixed veg cooked in (1/3 super free) snack - fruit bowl (banana, apple, clementine, grapes) tea - steak with grated cheese (1/2...

Out of interest how do you cook your SW chips, not done them for years but want them tonight

so theirs enough days to cram in the super speed foods to help counteract the treat you had. But sometimes even when you have a couple of hiccups the rest of the week can counteract it, I lost 2.75lb this past week but I had a huge Chinese on Saturday, and a huge kebab and chips on Wednesday...

When's your WI day again Joanne? ( sorry memory like a sieve!)

I try to have a 'treat' night once a week so I've got something to look forward to but this week I want to be 100% to see what I could lose. I'm on out for meal with the girls from college on Friday night so will be having my night off then ;-)

Well I went to the party and my plan of eating my tea before going worked! I only ate literally 3 crisps, a small sausage roll, 3 malteasers and a tiny ( literally tiny) spoonful of chocolate gateaux, I didn't drink alcohol just drank diet Pepsi, so proud of myself!

Been to a family party this evening, but I was very good! I literally had about 3 crisps, a small sausage roll, 3 malteasers and a tiny ( and I mean tiny) spoonful of chocolate gateaux. I didnt have any alcohol and was drinking diet Pepsi. Feel really proud :-) I'm now having a snack as we...

I had forgotten about drinks :-) and I haven't had my HEA yet but may have a glass of milk tonight ifi haven't had it before :-)

Just popping in to subscribe back that way we can motivate each other :-)

What fantastic losses!! Well done!

Today I WI this morning and to my surprise I lost 2.75lb! Such a surprise and totally not earned! so far today I've had: breakfast- bananas and muller light yoghurt snack - mug shot lunch - 60g whole meal (HEB) baked beans and mushrooms im going to a party tonight but plan to have my tea...

Thats exactly what I said to myself this morning 'imagine if I'd been good all week' lol!

Anybody know how many syns are in a less than 1% mug shot cup soup the farmhouse style vegetable noodle? thanks!!

Back in 15's today albeit the high 15's :-)

Weighed this morning and it's 2.75lb lost which is great considering

2.75lb for me please :-) thanks!

The moment of truth... WI... 2.75lb off :-) so relieved I didn't gain!

2.75 lb off this week :-) not bad considering!

2.75lb off for me please

My oh is working sat too, but then just a quiet weekend at home with our 2 little monsters! Wanna try and be on best behaviour food wise and that's easier when I'm at home!

That's still very reasonable and workable with you not having syns tomorrow, unlike me this week :-/ but I've felt devastated since and I mean business from tomorrow morning!! U got much planned for weekend?

Everyone deserves a night off once in a while :-) x

So many great losses already :-)

After a shaky first week I thought this would help me stay focused! so starting tomorrow I will keep this diary of all my meals, please feel free to make suggestions where I'm going wrong or what I could improve.

Hope the child protection issues resolve swiftly and smoothly (meaning that in a nice way) I hate house inspections, or even just landlords coming always feel like they are going to judge! How's your day been food wise?

I thought the same about the forum, I used to go to a slimming world group and found it clicky and not very supportive at all but minimins is completely different! Friendly, supportive, informative! I love it :-)

the sort of diet you want is down to personal preference. I really like slimming worlds approach where you can eat as much of the 'free' and 'superfree' foods these do not need weighing and you can eat as much as you like, as well as healthy extra (a) which is cheese and milk products and a...

That doesn't sound good, have an early night. Hope tomorrows better.

Such a great start! And won't all be water loss :-)

whats your WI day maw broon?

Your not the only one maw broon :-( I've done exactly that this week! Let one bad choice on one bad day ruin my whole week :-/ will know the extent of damage tomorrow.

Im sure you've done fab autumn! I'm dreading tomorrow as I know I started well this week but I've blown it half way!

Dreading tomorrow morning's weigh in :sigh: my first weigh in and the week started great but then I've blown it! But I'm revising my plans and have made a weeks worth of meal choices so I'm never stood in the kitchen thinking I'm hungry what can I have ( and reaching for a chocolate bar :() I've...

I'm struggling today :-( really badly!

well done Joanne :-) I'm dreading weighing on Friday. I've been naughty last night and ate a load of choc :-(

Slimming world quiche sounds nice! What's in it and how do you make it?

Mugshots are also a good quick lunch

i make myself a tuna sweetcorn and pasta for lunch, cook the pasta and allow it to cool then add tuna and sweetcorn and a small amount of low syn mayo, although you could maybe use quark or cottage cheese if u wanted too. It's really yummy and filling :-)

Don't suppose any of you know how to scramble an egg without using milk?

How's everyone's day been? Mines been good so far, scrambled eggs, bean and mushroom for breakfast. Low fat super noodles and mixed veg for lunch and am gonna have spaghetti bolognase for tea tonight had a sneaky weigh in this morning and the scales are showing the right direction :-)

Having a good day so far... Scrambled egg, beans and mushrooms for breakfast. Low fat super noodles chicken and herb flavour with mixed veg chucked in :-) I can't wait till Friday!!

Hey aesa :-) always room for one more! Good luck for your first WI!

Let me know what u think :drool:

Its amazing KHQ! I try not to actually bite the freddo because its gone in seconds if I do, but when it's been dipped in the hot chocolate it melts in your mouth and lasts ages!

Can I pledge 8lb? I weigh this Friday for the first time.

That's my down fall too! I try to save my syns and have a options hot chocolate with a freddo bar. Which I dip into the hot chocolate so it melts and makes it last longer! Really satisfies my chocolate cravings

Want some advise on how people do scrambled eggs without milk, every time I attempted it they turn out horrible!

Had a sneaky early weigh this morning. And it's going in the right direction, not counting it though until Friday :-)

Me 2 Lindsey, how's your week going so far?

Well done bubble77 :-) x

You sound the spit of me! I hated the awkward question " how was your week"! I want to loose similar amount and my sort of aim is sept, good luck :-)

Had an awful day :-( didn't sleep more than an hour last night, just felt 'off'. Woke this morning sweating and feeling sick :-( this continued all day with me feeling ill. Had 2 slices of white toast and some plain pasta today and water. Whilst my hubby eats chips sausage and fish cake from the...

You got to do it your way, no point keeping everyone else happy when you will be unhappy. I'm off to bed now, craving chocolate and there's still too many in he cupboard left from Xmas!

Thanks abisaurus!

try to enjoy at least 5 syns a day, it does make a difference :-) and good luck ( not that u will need it!) extra easy is just that... extra easy!

I'm in :-) I want to loose 91lb this year

It was lovely and relaxed, we had close family there with us (and a load of onlookers) I've got such a big family it would of had to be a huge wedding here or we would of bad to exclude so many people :-/ so we went with the easy option, told people where and when and said if ur willing to pay...

You having a big wedding? I got married in the Dominican Republic. X

What date? I got married April 27th 2009

When's the big day?! Money doesn't stretch far enough when your getting married, or in life in general at the min! I really need to do it this time, I give up too easy and I'm getting fed up of being fat! Xx

Hi yeah I'm doing slimming world but on my own at home as I haven't got time to go to group (well I could be put it would mean only having 3 nights with hubby a week and he wasn't too impressed!) X

Hi Joanneb20 that does look scary! Would defo have landlord out to check it! Have you had driving rain today?

Hey can I gate crash a little? You all seem really positive and determined ladies and I need some good role models in my life! I'm 24 yr old mum of 2 with a hubby who is perfectly slim whatever he eats! But if I so much as think about what he eats I seem to gain weight!

when I attended group it was 15, but see how you go. There was some people in group who had no or less that 5 syns and their losses weren't great, soon as they upped it to at least 5 syns they had better losses. Each persons different :-)

Hey can I join you? Re stared slimming world (from home) on Friday 3rd jan and my first weigh in was 16st 0lb. I have lost 1st 4lb since 2012 but it keeps sneeking back on and I've decided this year will be MY year! I'm going to weigh on a Friday :-)

Hi charlipag, although I've not got as far to go I feel as though I do because I'm a serial 'giver upper' :wave_cry: I've said this is mu year and I really do hopes stick to it

Hi beskimoosh, your stats are similar to mine In terms of height, weight and goal weight. I'm doing slimming world too but following it at home. :) When's your weigh in day?

Hi, I have started SW at home yesterday (Friday 3rd jan) I've got 6.5 stone to lose. Would really like some support :-)

Hi all, I joined minimins last feb with big aims to lose weight, but I failed and I went on holiday last July feeling like (not to mention looking like) a beached whale :cry:so I'm back and I've been planning this for a few weeks now, I totally enjoyed Xmas and new year and didn't think twice...

Hey everyone. Just wondering if I can join this tread? I currently weigh 15 stone 9lb and on my 2nd week of slimming world. want to get all the way down to 9.5 stone! Any support is greatly appricated!

I'm restarting slimming world tonight, I don't know about the Cambridge diet but slimming world is great for me! U can eat anything as long as you count the syns, you have 15 syns a day but can also have flexible syns for those special occasions! If I'm hungry I cook a savory rice and eat the...

Hey 2013 WILL be my year! I want to be a paramedic but won't get accepted on uni course without drastic weight and fitness changes! so here's the bare truth! I weight 15 stone 13lb (home scales) I want to weight 10stone but I like chocolate too much! starting slimming world tomorrow...
