I had such a good weight loss last week that I'm so worried I'll put in a whole heap this week. I have no idea how I lost all that weight last week and so I'm expecting a gain of about 1lb which will be ok (means I've still lost my half stone) but I don't want to put on anymore than that. I can...

Thanks. I weighed myself a good ten times before I believed it!

Can someone update me please? I lost 3lb this week, loosing in total 8lb so far this year so lost half a stone! Woop, on track to loose at least half a stone every 2 months x

3lb off for me this week which I am over the moon about. Weighed myself yesterday and I had stayed the same so must have been doing something right! Lost 8lbs since January now so hit my half stone. Woop! X

That sucks :( I hope that you're ok my lovely xx This will sound terrible after the above - DYJHIW you're other half is letting you have pet rats again but your mum who you no longer live with is putting a right downer on things :( i was so excited :(

lost 1lb this week which actually i'm really happy with - put a 1lb on last week so have lost what I gained. Also I had food poisoning at the beginning of the week so I was a bit worried of having a major loss and then putting on next week so really this means that over the week i've levelled...

DYJHIW you and the other half have a lovely weekend away but both end up at home from work yesterday due to Food poisoning. My other half never comes home from work sick so when he does you know it's bad :( thankfully feeling better today

I'm interested in this kind of thing as well. All I can think of is a salad or stir fry but they aren't my favourite things

Weighed in early today ( well yesterday as away today ) put on 1lb. BOO!

DYJHIW You put on :( only a 1lb and I was expecting it but doesn't make it any easier :( boooo hiissssss!

DYJHIW you're other half doesn't tell you he's going to getting up early. So as he starts getting ready he wakes you up as he's trying not to wake you up. Then you get confused as to why he's awake and now can't get back to sleep! *yawwwwwwn*

Oh noes :( hopefully if you wipe your face enough or just wash it alot then some of the colour might fade! I don't know what else to suggest i'm afraid my lovely but I hope they look better for Friday xx

I'm not doing too bad thanks :) next weigh in is on Saturday ( thought due to Valentines day i'm tempted to weigh in a day early on Friday and input it on Saturday just because we are out friday night and away for our anniversary Saturday ) x

Online membership you do really do it by yourself. The tools are still there for guidance and you can find some great recipes and such on the website, there's always something on there to help if you get stuck. There is more pressure at the groups as you know you're getting weighed in front of a...

I really doubt that he will do it, which is what I keep telling myself and everyone else but they are sure he is going to. I just don't want to get my hopes up for them to be crushed so to speak. Oh well, when it happens it happens i guess! x

Oh wow that's amazing! You should be so so happy! You are only 2lb away from loosing half a stone. You must be so chuffed. Well done Hun xxx

We are going away for the weekend. He booked it around Christmas time and didn't tell me for a few weeks. Saying that I was on at him for months that I wanted to go away as it's our 10 year anniversary. I don't think he will do anything though x

DYJHIW your work colleagues and bosses get you so hyped and say they are sure you're other half will propose at the weekend. stop getting my hopes up! Sorry. All my things are engagement related at the moment as it's on my mind x

How did you do on Sunday? Xx

Ohhhh totally need some motivation. Looking to loose 2lb this week so I can hit my half stone but i'm now really worried that i've had such a good loss last week that this week will be terrible. I don't get weighed until Saturday but i'm almost scared to get on the scales to see what they say...

DYJHIW you're at the gym but too tired to do anything *yawwwwwwwn*

I've been to the gp about a bad back. He referred me to an osteopath but his parting word were "and uh loose some weight" he seemed so embarrassed about saying it. Yes I'm a fatty so just come out and say I need to loose weight!

The more the merrier my lovely! x

Well you're not too fair off, another 3 lbs and you'll be in them :) xxx

Oh Sparty, I'm so sorry to hear that :( *hugs*

Oh noes. I hope everything's ok xx sometimes you just need to write off a week and think "I'm not even going to look!" And get back on the wagon so to speak xx

I'm ok other than a sore bump on my knee! I've you a dodgy ankle and back so I'm so glad I didn't hurt either of those! Xx

DYJHIW you're other half falls asleep on the sofa (something he does at least once a month..) and you wake up startled at 7am as he's not yet come to bed (I did wonder why I was so comfortable!) So you wake up startled because he's not in the bed, so you rush downstairs thinking that something...

Hi Scobydoo, just to let you know I had a 3lb loss this week, best i've had since well since I started dieting! x

Loss of 3lb this week - really really chuffed with that. All of the late nights in the gym have finally paid off. Couldn't be happier with that loss :) x

I've lost 3lb this week, Woop woop!! I'm certainly liking those numbers! I've updated the stats with my loss :) Cans1983 - pledged - 60lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500-pledged-42lbs- lost 4.25lbs Rosielea-pledged-21lbs - lost 1lbs kidston87-pledged-21lbs - lost 0lbs chezz-pledged-70lbs - lost 9lbs...

Yeah let me know how you do. I hope you're happy whatever the loss. I'll let you know tomorrow morning what I'm at :) x

Nah, he would say no. He's traditional and won't be rushed in the slightest. Well obviously as it's been 10 years lol! Besides id rather he asked me, wouldn't feel right otherwise x

Please don't feel down if you haven't lost anything. Sometimes the body goes into starvation mode if there's a change so you won't see much a loss. If you loose like 1lb and feel down, google how much 1lb actually is as it's a huge huge amount. It sounds like you've done really well Hun xxx

I started up again in October but didn't really do that well so started again seriously in January. You might not feel different now if it's your first week as I've read somewhere that it takes 4 weeks for you to notice a difference in yourself. See what the scales say on Sunday. Do you think...

Hi, I've been doing slimming world for awhile just switched from the groups to doing it online. My first weigh in from going "solo" is tomorrow so I'm excited :) x

Thanks Hun :) xx

Ooh Chinese. Haven't had that in a long time. I think you'll be ok though, as well I've never seen a fat Chinese person so it's gotta be healthy, right?! Don't feel bad about it Hun, we are all entitled to some cheats xx

Hey a loss is a loss. Its better than staying the same or putting on and just think all those 0.5lbs add up. I'm dead chuffed for you x

I wouldn't mind but we've been together nearly 10 years. In fact it'll be 10 years next weekend. He's taking me away for the weekend so here's hoping!

When you're desperate for your other half to propose. And what makes it worse is the fact that he is a best man for his best friends wedding next year and I'm one of the bridesmaids. The constant talk of weddings is driving me mad and getting me down. Humph :(

Well I weighed myself this morning on my scales. It said 17st 1lb twice and and 17st 2lb once ( I was kicking the scales to different areas of the room and getting on and off lol) so I think really when I weigh myself on Saturday whatever the weight says is what I'll go with. Seems fair enough...

I've started weighing myself on a Saturday so did a mid week weigh in to see how it was going on. Now my wii fit told me that I was 17st 3lbs but my weighing scales told me I was 17st 1lb - I moved my scales around the room so they were in different areas but said the same thing - both were on...

Mind if I muscle in? I'm usually a Tuesday weigher but I've moved to slimming world online and now weighing from home on a Saturday. First home weigh in will be this Saturday so fingers crossed! X

Thanks Hun. I've emailed them to change my date to a Saturday weigh in as that works so much better for me :) x

Yeah I think I read that too - I want to change mine to Saturday as it fits in better with my life and my routines. If you ever need anything m'love then you know where I am - we are all here to help so if there's ever anything you need don't hesitate to ask :). In the long run if you register...

Good luck to you as well Scobyboo :) x

When I joined online this evening it asked for my weight and such now, then said my next weigh in would be next Sunday - i'm not sure if you can set it to actually start on a certain day or not. There may have been one that I didn't see but i'm not so sure i'm afraid xx

Oh ok, that's ok then. I know that you have to tell a group if you're not going to a weigh in otherwise you'll get charged. So it's nice to have that little bit of freedom if I forget to put the details in etc online, at least I know I wont get charged for it! Just signed up for online now - i'm...

Do you have a certain day that you weigh in on? So if I say I'll get weighed on a Monday but miss it for some reasons, can I weigh in on another day and not get penalised? The same if I miss a week because of holiday?

A 1lb is a massive loss , if you google how much a pound of fat actually is it's a fab achievement. You should be proud of yourself, well done x

I go to slimming world on a Tuesday but never stay for the session afterward as I don't feel it helps - does anyone do slimming world online? What's it like??

I usually don't stay at the meetings so I get weighed and go home. However I don't particularly like the leader as I don't feel it's very personal. What's it like doing it online?

Put on half a pound this week - boooo! but it's not too bad, i'd rather put on half a pound than a pound or more - better get off my bum to loose more next week! x

I put weight on this week - not much just 0.5lbs (i'm not adding this to anything by the way! I hate yo-yoing it all up and down!) Hoping for a better weight loss week come tuesday! x

I've started a diary to - I don't know anyone reads it but at least I can chat rubbish and read back on it over the coming year to see what's changed! x

DYJHIW you have those horrible few days where you just feel fat and frumpy :( x

Whoops - seem to have had a bad couple of days with quick take away meals and going out for diner last night - need to get back on track today ready for the weigh in on Tuesday which I'm now dreading - looks like I'm going to have to be 100% angel over the next few days to salvage back what i've...

Loosing weight is something that is scary - something im not sure loads of people really think about. We are here for you so if you ever feel like you need to chat then you know you've got a whole forum of people that are here to back you up and get you off your arse when you fall ;) xxx

Oooh, sounds like everyone has good ones. Mine is now also to live a little more - i've wanted to dye my hair purple for ages but never really had the guts ( even though i've been red and had fake dreadlocks before!) I think i felt like I was just getting too old for it -anway I was umming and...

I lost half a pound this week and half a pound last week so i've updated mine- sorry if i've missed anyone. I had a read through and couldn't see anyone else but sorry if I have missed you. Congratulations everyone for your weight loss so far xx Cans1983-pledged 60lbs-lost 0...

0.5lb off for me - second week in a row which is a bit of a pain but at least it's a loss so can't really complain! x

Wow everyone seems to be doing really really well - no pressure for my weigh in on Tuesday then! haha x

I've read alot of things about green tea and there are some great health benefits to it, not just weight loss, I think the weight loss aspect works for some people and not for others, my old personal trainer told me to drink 3-5 cups a day to help get my metabolism going and that it would help...

Hey,, Firstly well done on loosing the 3 stone in the first place. Unfortunately I think alot of us, I know I do, think oh i've lost a bit so that slice of cake wont be so bad coz i've lost the weight so it'll be ok. I don't know about other people but I know I have to loose around 7stone in...

Looks like everyone's had a pretty good week! Here's to many many more! x

i've lost 1.5lbs this week so i've updated the Stats to include me :) Well done everyone on their weight loss this week x Cans1983 - pledged - 60lbs - lost 0lbs Autumn500 -pledged- 42lbs - lost 1.75 Rosielea -pledged- 21lbs - lost 0lbs kidston87 -pledged- 21lbs - lost 0lbs chezz -...

I lost 1.5lbs this week which I'm more than happy with. My aim is around 2lb per week so that's not a bad start me thinks. Nice to kick start off the weight loss this year :) x

Well if you average it out then it shouldn't be too bad, I want to loose 2lb per week to mean just over half a stone a month - therefore as long as I loose 7lbs per month i'm roughly on target for 2lb per week x

Yeah sounds like number 2 is being an issue for you at the moment! x

Ohohoh can I please be a pain and join as well?! My goal is 2lb per week so a stone every 2 months so that's 6 stone meaning 84 pounds. Oh lordy it's going to be a long year! x

I love the bike, I've got a new seat for my exercise bike so i'm thinking i'll do that for half hour or so a night. I hate the cross trainer with a passion, for some reason I always get pins and needles in my toes and my feet start going numb so I can't be on it for that long which is...

Aw that's a good one. I would make that with my other half but I know it wouldn't happen! Well, even if you can't find a babysitter at least you can say that you tried, so that counts right?! xx

That we will Purple, that we will my love. If you ever need anything then just lemme know :) xx

WOO! Get you Limmy!!! See that worry and guilt for nothing! Now, lets get on 2014 like a car bonnett and kick it's butt! x

well you are still lighter than me, i'm at 17stone 5lbs so you're still ahead of me. No sad faces! only happy ones! x

Yeah but your stats show you have a stone less than me to loose! Good luck to you as well my love xx

I agree that guilt is a wasted emotion. When I pass on I want to be reasonably thin, however on my death bed i'm not going to be sitting there worrying about all of the cakes or takeaways that I ate over the years, i'm going to sit there and think " do you know what, i had a good innings and...

Tell me about it! Someone at work was saying that her's is to wear earrings more often - she knows it's an easy one so more likely to stick to it! x

Oh don't get me wrong i'm doing other exercise as well, i'm heading to the gym two times a week and going a zumba class. I get bored when walking/ on the treadmill so figured if I set a goal of right, at least 1 mile per day or such as then i'll keep me motivated :) x

Oh no that's not exactly what you want to hear. Unfortunately the things you don't want to hear are the things that helped. I've had someone ask my before when my baby was due - I wasn't pregnant! But I know I never want to feel that way again and that's what helps keep me going. You'll do it...

I did my mile in the gym today as well as some time on the cross trainer and some weights to tone up my arms. Spend about an hour on my exercise bike at home on Wednesday ( half an hour for one hit and another 20-25 mins another time) I can never sit on my bike for too long as it hurts my bum...

I was going to say Lishaa why the sad face, that's amazing well done! x

They sound like good new years resolutions. I remember as a kid I used to write looooads of the down on a bit of paper and stick it on the inside of my wardrobe, even silly things like " get a boyfriend and keep him" I was like 13 at the time and "relationships" were only about a week at a time! xx

Mine is to be generally a happier person and not to whinge at the other half so much, and to concentrate more on me and my weight and health. 2014 is going to be a good year! What about yours?

What are everyone's new years resolutions then? Come on, spill the beans!

Thanks Amanda, I think it was such a shock to me as I was so sure that I had either put on a little bit or had stayed the same. I felt so so good. It just means that this time next year I can look back and go "look where I am now, all the hard work has paid off" and i'll be a happier and...

Wow, it sounds like you did amazing from November to December. And really, well it's Christmas - I think it's the one time of the year where you can go, do you know what sod it i'm going to eat and drink and be merry!! The most important thing is, you've lost the weight before so you know that...

Wow, you lost 17stone?! that's like, well that is me! that's amazing hun you must be so so proud.I have a sit down job so i know it's difficult when loosing weight as you don't have the ability to move around as much (especially if like me you're stuck to your desk so you can answer the phones)...

Don't say sorry that you're diet isn't going as planned at the moment - sometimes there are other things that need to be dealt with first and food/diet is the last thing on your mind. I hope that things start looking up for you in 2014 and brings you all the happiness and love you deserve xxx

Happy new year to you too! I hope 2014 brings everything you all deserve :) xxx

Thanks :) I'm hoping that if the weather is alright I can go for a mile walk during my lunch hour - then I can do the gym and other exercises after work which will all hopefully kick everything into gear for me. Thanks for your help xx

Thanks. I literally came out of Slimming world and burst into tears, I was so so upset. I know that this is the boost that I needed and i'm hoping that come weigh in next week ill start to see the pounds coming off. Got start being super super strict with myself now xx

I'm around 245lb mark and I'm looking to loose 2lb a week on average so loose a stone every month or two. How much do you reckon I could loose per week walking maybe 1-2 miles a day? I'd like to start off with 1 mile and work my way up - on average usually takes me around 20 mins to walk a...

I'm 25 and surprisingly get taken for around 22/23 - I know it's not by massess of years but still, it's a nice compliment! Although I often get told " you act your age, if not older yet look younger than you are" i'll take that one as a compliment i think! I've been feeling pretty crappy about...

Really really upset that i've put on 3lb, which frankly I don't believe. I feel thinner than I have in ages. I've gone back to the gym for the past couple of days and I did an hour and half of cardio this morning so I don't know if that would have effected my weigh in? I feel better than I have...

Tomorrow is doing to be my first weigh in since 17th December ( couldn't make it on christmas eve) i'm looking forward to it as that weight is going to be my 2014 starting weight so I know where i'm at and can get to it. Things have been a little bit lax over the past few weeks so it'll be good...

Wow, everyone looks amazing! Unfortunately I don't wear trousers as I find them far too uncomfortable, therefore I spend my life in leggings! I have some joggers and skirts and stuff so when I get thin enough to do this I so am! x

8lbs in a week? That's amazing love congratulations! Maybe she had noticed and was jealous or something? That could be why she gave the response she did, it's a possibility to think of anyway. I've had someone be rude to me at work, what annoyed me the most is the fact that she had been doing...

I thought so :) sometimes I just need that little bit to know i'm doing it right and in the right way! thanks guys <3 xxx

Welcome back! It's good that you've stopped Smoking, at least in the new year you can do a complete overhaul and this time next year feel better :) xxx

Welcome to the forum :) I'm doing Slimming World and find it's easier than doing it solo. Good luck with your weight loss journey xxx

I used to have rats when I lived at home, by far my favorite pet of all. I've moved in with my other half now and even though he says I can have them I know he will only whinge about them. I've had both females and boys and I think i love boys the most. They are so squishy and scrummy! I miss...

I wouldn't worry my love about trying sw again when you've tried it before and it's not worked. I've found that I have all of the best intentions to loose weight but because i've never had that massive drive to do it i've never stuck to anything. Maybe the way that you're feeling will shock you...

Thanks. I figured that would be a good goal to go for, but I just didn't want to make an impossible goal and then feel rubbish when I don't hit it :( Gyming it up so even if I don't hit the weight I know i'll have toned and will feel much more comfortable in my clothes xxx

I wouldn't worry too much about it, sometimes it's nice to have those bad times as it makes you kick back into action and stick to the plan. I've always like to saying one bad meal wont make you fat but one good meal wont make you skinny. It's christmas, it's a perfect time to let your hair...

Oh I see, brilliant, thank you lickthelid xxx

I have my christmas party on 10th Jan, i've bought a lovely new dress that fits well but could do with loosing the weight to make it fit just a bit better and so i feel a bit more confident. How much do you reckon is an acceptable amount to loose in about 2/3 weeks? I don't want to set myself a...

For some reason I just can't understand or get my head around what is club 10, can someone please help and explain it to me?! Sorry if i'm being an idiot! :help2:

Oh No :( i'm sorry that you haven't had a great Christmas, no one should have a horrible time at Christmas and I hope it picked up for you xx

Good luck! i returned to slimming world after a 6 month break, due to work issues and what not i haven't done very well so i'm using the new year as my get going! Have you got the hairy dieters cook books? they are meant to be really good and taste just like the read thing i.e like a korma...

I lost 1lb this week which I was more than happy with, I hadn't felt like I had done anything and as my weight had been at a stand still for 3 weeks I wasn't really expecting much. This has given me a nice kick up the bum and I'm wanting to loose 2.5lbs this week so I can reach my half a stone...

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat so whilst the scales say that you've not lost alot you might have toned up a hell of alot. I'd recommend measuring yourself maybe once a week or every two weeks and then even if the scales aren't telling you what you'd like then you'll see on the tape...

One little slip up isn't going to mess up your whole plan and week of good work. Like others have said a number of things have to be taken into consideration, you might've had a full bladder but didn't realise you needed the loo yet etc. Weight until you see the scales tomorrow and try not to...

I don't stay at the groups, the reason I go though is because I know the scales are going to be correct and will show what ive lost or gained etc as I don't trust my scales at home. Therefore I know week in week out what the scales are saying are correct. I find the rest of the time I look...

A loss is a loss at the end of the day no matter how much or how little. Have you seen how much 1lb of fat is? that's alot! I've lost 3.5lbs so far, I didn't think it was that much until I did this ( now im not sure if this is something I should be proud of or not!) I have rather large...

I stayed the same :( 2nd week in a row now. Think I might have just gotten a bit lax and assumed the weight would keep coming off...just means I have to work that little bit harder for next week. Would like to loose 2lbs. Would LOVE to loose 3 1/2 but i'll be happy with 2 :D xxx

I'm fed up of thinking that people are looking at me and judging me. I'd like to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin, whether that means I weigh just a little bit less than I do now or whether I loose a lot i'm not massively bothered as long as I feel happy and don't feel like people...

Mix it up abit, I do machines and then arm weights so ill do treadmill for however long, a few arm weights to let my legs recover a bit, more arm weights or abs machine and then machine etc etc. Also don't always look at what the scales say, measure yourself around the hips, waist and bust and...

I'm a member there, wondered if anyone else was so I can give you a cheery wave when i'm working out. Then i'll do more as I don't want to feel like i'm being judged for not doing enough haha x

I would like to know the same thing to be honest. I've got back fat at the top of my back and have the lovely overhang half way down that i'd like to get rid of but not sure the best ways to do it x

I'm in. I'd like to loose 10.5lbs. I lost 3.5 in Feb so hoping to knock it up a gear and manage to loose a stone by the end of March so 10.5lbs is my goal. Not sure if i'll achieve it but i'll just need to push myself a bit more exercise wise :) xxx Emmie - 8lbs (0 lost 8 to go) Dextermummy -...

Apologies if there is already a thread going.. I love working out at the gym and the feeling I get once I've had a great work out, however I get SO bored sitting on the same machine for 10-15 mins. As much as I would love to go for a half hour walk I get so bored, even with my iPod in! Does...

Don't you just hate it when you know what your doing in your job but are constantly belittled by someone just because they've been there longer than you. Doesn't matter I've been doing this sort of thing for mmmm 5 years!

I stayed the same this week. I'm chuffed with this though as i've had my brothers birthday so, had a chinese on saturday night and a big family meal on sunday so I'm actually pleased with it. Would like to loose 3.5 by next week though as i'd have lost half a stone then! Well done to all loosers...

You can do it. I have a weigh in on Tuesdays and always found everyone so friendly and found it so easy to loose the weight, sometimes I don't even realize i'm doing it! Ok i've only lost 3.5 in about 4 weeks but I can already see how much better I look and feel x

Got just over 7 stone to loose before I'll be deemed as whats healthy for my height. However I'm a great believer in when I feel ready and when I feel comfortable I know when i've hit my ideal weight. However i'm pretty sure that it will be nearing the 10 stone mark. I can do this, and I will...

I'm looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow, although a little bit worried as it's been my brothers birthday so there's been a few celebrations. Tried to be good and been good I think today so hopefully tomorrow wont be too bad. I'll be happy with just 0.5lb though! Bring my weight loss up to...

Hi, i'm Jo. Currently on the slimming world diet as well as just trying to be healthy and work out. Thought it would be good to join a forum with people in the same shoes as me so i've got extra help as well as a place to get tips from real people :) Hope to speak to you guys soon :) xxx
