Hi, congratulations on your masters and your upcoming wedding! I'm in a similar position to you; I graduated last year after going to retrain as a teacher and gained the 3 stone I had lost after having my kids! I'm now teaching full time, but am finding it hard to plan my meals ahead because I'm...

Hi, if you have a Home Bargains in your area, you can get 'tip and zip' bags from there which are specially made for soup. They stand up as well! They're about £1 for a box of 8 and they're a good size. I swear by them!

Hi, I'm in a similar position, starting well but losing motivation after about a week! You're not alone. Physically I couldn't be more different (5'3, 13 st 10, a woman!) but my feelings about myself are the same. I'm a definite emotional eater who tends to throw it all away after a bad day and...

Hello! After a fab 6lbs loss this week I'm finally here! Currently at 12st 12lbs and hoping to be out of here by the end of June :-)

Hi, sorry for the late post! Last week (26 April) +0.5 lb This week (3 May) -6lb!! Did fast forward for a kick start :-)

Just found this thread. Cheese thief you look amazing! You've done spectacularly and your bone structure in the face pics is stunning. Well done! Subscribing to your thread for inspiration xxx

Hi, I too am a yo yo-er! Lost weight for my wedding 13 years ago, gained and lost after each of my two children but since starting my teaching degree I too have gained 2 stone. Really want to lose it before I graduate this summer! I find putting a pic of what you used to look lie / want to look...

Hi, please may I join? I'd like to lose 24lb

Hi Impossible, welcome! I'm also a 3rd year student bogged down with tons of work / dissertation! I'm also a mum if 2 so I have no spare time at the moment but as the others say, it's all in the planning :-) I bought myself a lovely insulated lunch bag from the Range and I take tons of fruit...

After years of messing about and swapping from one plan to another, I have 3 stone to lose :-/ I've decided to stick with what I know best. Doing it online this time as 2 kids, final year study (hate the word dissertation already!) and teaching practice doesn't leave much time for meetings...

Ooh there's an idea! I'll find the board and start one now. Thanks! xx

Hi, I've just started doing ww from home, no time to go to meetings at the moment! This seems like a lovely, supportive board. Looking forward to being a part of it x

Hi guys, I joined ww yesterday and would like to lose a stone by Christmas. Is it too late for me to join your challenge?

You swim the equivalent of the length of the English Channel (22 miles) over 12 weeks. You can be sponsored for it to raise money for Aspire (spinal injury charity). In a 25m pool, it works out at 120 lengths per week or you can do it all at once (if you're that good!). There's a website xx

Just me then....

Not doing so well :( To be honest, think I may have taken on too much - I'm doing a charity swim challenge and writing a dissertation for my degree as well as raising 2 kids!! Trying my best, but I migyt have to be realistic and aim for 50k this month :(

Re: honk if you were 100% today! Honk! Day 3 :)

Honk!!

6km for me today :-)

Going to treat myself to a full english this morning; Tesco Light choices sausages (1/2 syn each), lean bacon, egg, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms - in frylight / grilled :eat:

I did an SAS log this week; it really helped! Some of it was Bank Holiday gain coming off too. Next week is unlikely to be as much!! :)

Welcome Law Ram! :) Nothing again today but I'm doing a swim challenge alongside and did lots on that! Tomorrow is X train day. Will let you know; have some ground to make up!

5.5lb loss this week :D Think I may have to reset my target for this month to 10lb!!

Putting me to shame too! Nothing yesterday or today. I'm aiming for 6k tomorrow :)

Re: honk if you were 100% today! Honk! Back to day 1 :rolleyes:

Honk! Day 3

I had a salmon fillet drizzled with a tbsp sweet chilli sauce with sw chips and lots if veg. Delish :)

Re: honk if you were 100% today! Honk day 2 :)

Well done! Did 5k tonight, 19 mins and 170 calories (!) 95 to go!! :)

Not a good start; really busy day and I didn't make time to do it :banghead: Planning on doing 5k tomorrow to get myself off to a good start.

I've signed up to do the Aspire channel swim in my local pool between 7th Sep and 9th Dec. Has anyone else signed up for this? I could do with a buddy to keep me motivated!

Syn free pancake topped with a fat free vanilla Activia, blueberries and raspberries. Yummy :)

That's a fab idea! I also have a cross trainer at home that's gathering dust. Maybe a challenge is just what I need! I'm in :)

I've added myself too. Just gained 6lb in 2 weeks :what: so want 7lb off (at least!) By the time I go back to uni in Oct. angelajane 7lbs ( 0ibs lost 7lbs to go) acc 4lbs ( 0lbs lost 4lbs to go) Babytreetrunk89 6lbs (0lbs lost 6 to go) ceebeee 5lbs (0lbs lost 5lbs to go) CharleyBar 8lbs ( 0lbs...

Wow, amazing! You are an inspiration :)

I had fresh mango, passionfruit, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries topped with a vanilla fat free Activia, yummy :)

Re: honk if you were 100% today! Honk! Day 2 :D

I've just made a gorgeous Turkish deight one, I mixed 2 pots of turkish delight mullerlight, 1 small pot of fromage frais and half a teaspoon of splenda together and popped it into my ice cream maker. Really creamy and no ice crystals! Gorgeous with strawberries and completely free :-)

Been off plan for the past few weeks so back to square one :( Determined to do it this time though! Well done to you ladies who are getting closer to that LBD! :)

My arms stick to my body! Probably too much info! :D

2.5lb gain for me :-( Strained my back though so no exercise and too much comfort eating. That'll be gone next week. Going to be 100% this week :-)

I'm in! I have 3 stone to lose, should be at target by Christmas if I focus! :)

Chopped fresh mango, kiwi fruit, blueberries and passion fruit with a fat free mango activia poured on top. Yum!:D

Honk!:)

So pleased with myself, I drew a line under my weekend and got straight back on track as normal. Result: 3 1/2 lb loss! :D Thanks to all of you who gave me a kick up the rear. Taking one weekend at a time but feeling really positive:)

I think swapping to any kind of herbal tea will help as you're also having less caffeine which can't hurt! I'm a big fan of Twinings camomile and honey tea, it's lovely!

Thanks everyone. I think I knew what I need to do, I just needed to hear it from somebody else!! I have a plan for next weekend. I am determined to get to target this time!

I lost 3 stone twice (after each of my pregnancies) with WW and I loved it. Then they changed the whole points plan and I couldn't get my head around it! Just moved back to SW after a year actually gaining on WW as I couldn't keep to the allowance, I couldn't get full! Also I'm just too busy to...

Good luck! Xxx

Ooh let me know what it's like! We're having the rich Bolognese pasta bake out of the all in one cookbook :-)

That is a fab idea! I have a few things on in May (a friend's 40th and my wedding anniversary) so I could drink just on those occasions and have a dry month. That sounds good!

That's just plain mean. Naughty Hubby!:mad:

Wow, well done. You look fantastic!

Thanks ladies. Patchpuss don't worry about sounding harsh - I need a good talking to! It's the reason you have a 5 stone award and I have none lol! I will take your advice on board, I know I'm letting these temptations take over. I need to decide what's more important - cake or energy and...

I am so good during the week, as soon as it gets to Friday night the wine comes out and it all goes wrong! On Saturday the kids and hubby always want to go to Costa and have cake, then after the kids are in bed the wine comes out again. On Sunday we go to the in-laws for dinner and she always...

I'm exactly the same! I have just rejoined slimming world after doing weight watchers for over a year - I actually ended up gaining weight as I faffed so much :-/ This time I am determined to do it. I shudder to think the amount of money I've wasted over the past 2 years!

1. Get below 13 stone - hopefully next week 2. Get 1/2 stone award by end of April 3. Get into my new size 14 jeans by end of May 4. Get stone award by mid June 5. Get into the 10's by the summer holidays There. It's gone public so now I have to get off my bum and do it!! :-)

I did the same :-/ I have half a bottle of red and half a bottle of white wine left. I am seriously thinking about pouring them down the sink because I know that I'll finish both off tonight in order to start a new week afresh! This is the mentality that got me 3 stone overweight in the first...

I like bacardi and pepsi max, but I find that the caffeine in the pepsi stops me sleeping! I think I'm going to give it another shot though (excuse the pun!) :-)

This is my biggest barrier to losing weight! Hubby and I don't drink during the week but as soon as Friday night hits I have to open the wine. Even tonight I deliberately didn't buy any but hubby came in with a bottle and that was it :-/ I have been known to drink a full bottle in one night on...

Honk! :-)

Thanks guys. I have a sweet tooth and can't trust myself around chocolate - if I'm stressed enough I would eat the lot in one go! I've chopped up lots of different fruit, hoping to go for that when I feel the urge!

Hi, I'm a full tine student as well as being a busy mum of 2. I joined SW last week and was really motivated, but an essay deadline is aporoaching and I've found myself cupboard raiding because I'm stressed! I need to get a grip on it. Does anyone have any tips / alternative things to pick on...

This is great - I had been doing well this week, then I became stressed and couldn't leave the cupboards alone! Now I'm going to put this on said cupboards, thanks!

Hi everyone, I've just rejoined Slimming World and am looking to lose 3 stone (42lbs).:) I struggle when I'm stressed and at weekends, so I'm hoping that making new friends on here will distract me from the cupboards! Looking forward to sharing my journey with you!
