Well hello all! So I kicked off Slimming World last week. I am getting married in June 2016 and i'd like to get to goal weight by Christmas 2015 and then tone up and get a bit fitter next year in the run up to the big day. I'd read up a lot on SW before I went to group and I know a lot of...

Sarah - thank you for all your posts. Your such an inspiration and have given me renewed enthusiasm. I have 56lbs to lose and it seems so far off right now. H x

Hi All, Ok so, so far I have been just on shakes and soups 100%, but I have now introduced some of the bars (loving the peanut one btw)! I am finding that the bars fill me up more than the shakes and soups. I'm currently on 1 bar and 3 shakes/soups a day - for my height apparently I have to...

So this evening I had my first weigh in and i've lost........10lbs! Woop :) 10lbs down and 56lbs to go....so thrilled! X Sent from my GT-S6310N using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi All, So this is my situation - I need help! Last summer I was on Cambridge and I successfully lost nearly 2 stone and felt GREAT!!!! But then things got a bit difficult. I got into a new relationship and found dating impossible on the plan (not eating out and not having a few drinks - I just...

Hi All, So back from my weekend away in Cardiff and won't lie, blew the diet out the water a bit this weekend with food and booze.....there was a free bar at the wedding, so I figured it would be rude not too. Aways, got back last night and went straight for my weekly weigh in with my CDC to...

Hi Rachel, I've been dog sitting for my parents as they're away on holiday and their down near Bournemouth so been cycling down to Bournemouth beach :) Been lovely with the sunshine....although not sure what happened today lol All gone a bit pear shaped with the weather. If you're not confident...

Hey hun, How are you doing? Had my 3 week weigh in last night and lost 8lbs last week :) Yayyyyyy! So thrilled. Did quite a few bike rides last week as well though. So happy with myself though. How you getting on with SS at the moment? I have a lot of energy at the moment and feel like im just...

Hey Hun, How are you doing today? Had my 3 week weigh in last night and lost 6lbs last week :) Sooooo happy. 18lbs lost so far in total. I've been doing some exercise - just gentle exercise, but think its massively upped my loss this week. Just been doing a very leisurely bike ride everyother...

Ah hun, amazing congrats on your first week weigh in :) You must be over the moon :) :) My cheat meals last week have made me a bit less nervous too. Have a best mates wedding a week Sunday and have decided not to drink alcohol, but can't not sit down for the meal really, so just going to...

Hi Zenlad, Just been reading through your thread. I'm on 100% at the moment and finding it easier now i'm into week 3. I had the maple porridge and it was DISGUSTING! I just binned it and decided to not have anymore of the porridges. Love the shakes, apart from Butterscotch and love all the...

I cheated last weekend but managed to get straight back on it sunday. I think the hot weather helps make it easier to diet! Having a mini mid-week weigh in tonight with my CDC Vicky because hopefully I should have lost a stone by now :) Not bad in 2 weeks and 2 days!!! My "thinspiration"...

Had any slip ups or have you stuck to it 100%? You''re really doing amazing. Well done x

Wow, your weight loss is amazing!! A real inspiration. How you finding it? Holly x

Hi Hun, So hows it going on 100% SS? I had my second weigh in yesterday and only lost 2 and a half pounds, but that's because I had a meal at the weekend for my best mates birthday and a couple of drinks, so I kind of expected it. Back on it 100% now though. Feeling positive and good. Keep...

7lbs!!! That's amazing hun well done! I have my weigh in at 6pm today and i'm dreading it a bit. Been on my water an just had my chicken and mushroom soup for lunch. Might go for a bike ride later. Hate that it takes about 4 days to get back into Ketosis though.....it seems sooooo long lol Far...

Hey Country Bumpkin and Starlit_Cazza, Hope you've had a great weekend! My best mate lives in Southsea. Love it there. Been in Portsmouth all weekend actually. Fell off the bandwagon a little this weekend....but not all out! Decided to have dinner with my best mate Friday night, but stayed...

Busy weekend for you then hun! I live in Southampton. Nearly the weekend.....yay!!!!!!!!! H x

Morning :) Skipping the weigh in sounds sensible! Better to wait and have a good loss to keep you motivated. I'm having a cheat meal this Saturday for my best mates birthday, but I've planned it ALL out as i'm slightly obsessive about it at the moment. We're all having dinner at hers before...

Hi Country Bumpkin. My first week was hell!!! No other way to describe it really. Had a full on cold and no energy and came so close to caving for a jacket potato with baked beans and cheese lol But I didn't! I stuck to the water and was miserable for several days...but i'm through to the other...

Hi Rachel, Glad to hear you found you first day so easy. How are you finding today? My fourth day was the hardest! But stick to it and after the first week it will be easy. Funnily enough, you're not far from me and I start on the 1st of this month! :) My Cambridge advisor is amazing too. I...

Alcohol! Very dangerous on SS x

Palmers!!!!! The stretch mark lotion is an absolute lifesaver. After about 3 days I really noticed a difference to my skin. Use it to target the problem areas like the tops of my arms, stomach and tops of my legs and can really tell the difference in the firmness of my skin. My friend is a...

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone can recommend some good electronic weighing scales? I currently have the older fashioned circular disk one that changes weigh every time I step on them. But have been looking at electronic ones and they vary massively in price. Do you get what you pay for or are...

Oh definitely do it hun. Its making me feel so much better. Finding it sooo much easier now that i'm past the first week. How are you doing? H x

Hey all, Enjoy reading your chat. I've complete week one on CD. Weigh in was last night and I lost 8lbs so very happy :) Another 80lbs to go. How much water does everyone manage to drink a day? I really struggle somedays. It just gets so boring! Holly x

So finally had my first weigh in today and loss 8lbs last week :) yayyyyyyyyyy! So happy with that. Now at 13stone 4lbs so hopefully will make it under 13 stone this week....fingers crossed!!! :) H x

Hey Lauren, That's keeping me going! But short term motivation is one of my best friends weddings at the end of the month and would love to drop a dress size by then! The shakes are lovely! Think I tried the full variety this week and the only one I wasn't keen on was Butterscotch. Melted some...

Day Three: Have a full on cold so just want to get into bed and eat comfort food. Don't feel anywhere near as hungry as yesterday though :) Had a butterscotch shake for breakfast which is my least favourite so far. Having a black tea with sweetner now though which is cheering me up. My advisor...

Day Two: Woke up having dreamt about food last night with my stomach rumbling and half a headache, so pretty grumpy this morning. Regardless I stuck to it and had my Choc Mint shake and a nice long shower to kick start me. Had 3 bottles of water so far today and had a Chicken and Mushroom soup...

Day One Vanilla Shake for breakfast Oriental Chilli soup for lunch Cappuccino Shake for dinner One black tea And a shedddddd load of water Good first full day :) x

Hi Andy. Just been reading through your diet so far. I'm on Day 2 and my stomach is rumbling! Sticking to the water though and loving the shakes and soups so far. I'm on 100% and planning to do it for the full 12 weeks if my consultant will let me. Need to lose about 3 stone in total. How you...

So today is my first full day on SS. Saw Victoria my consultant yesterday and started with a Chocolate Shake last night. The shake was surprisingly delicious. Its my first time of Cambridge. Done SW before but found it too labour intensive having to pre-plan all my meals, so i'd eventually just...

Hi All, Met my consultant Vicky today for the first time and she was wonderful. Can't wait to get going on the diet. Want to lose about 3 stone which will put me in the middle of my healthy BMI range. Quite nervous about only having 3 shakes a day, but will fully commit to it. Really want to...

So thought I should update my diary for week 2. The fasting for two days this week was miserable due to the fact i had raging tooth ache. Just made everything so much more bleak, but stayed true to the diet and had a lovely curry and a good night out with friends (but stayed on vodka and diet...

So wanted to write an update following a whole week on the 2 day diet (or 5:2 Diet/Fast Diet....whatever you want to call it lol). Have to admit, usually after a week on any diet i start to think about cheating or my resolve goes out the window and i order Dominos. But i have had such a good...

Hi all, So booked an amazing holiday to Thailand this week and the prospect of wearing a bikini at my current weight is truly horrifying. I'm currently 14st 7lbs and have always struggled with my weight, but the thought of being stuck with holiday photos i'll hate forever has kicked my ass into...
