Hey there See you showed those scales!! Well done for sticking at it...I think in the past this has been my problem; not sticking to it when I had a gain...which is why I need to lose 3 stone+ now! It's posts like yours that really help me stay on plan...Thanks :) Oh and have a great weekend x

Hahahaha! Was considering that myself. Not going until Monday so hoping the sun will win the war!!

Hi :flirt2: I am gong away for 4 days camping. Now we're not seasoned campers so we don't have the whole stove and cooking gear, although I have a small burner for boiling water. I was after a few ideas of snacks/light bite options I could take with me for when the munchies strike. We don't...

So interesting to see our different sizes. I am 5'5" and I am an 16-18 top and an 18 bottom at 14 stone 3 lbs. :)

I lost 0.5lbs again. Happy it's a loss but a bit dissapointed that's it's only a wee one

ooh must get that!

Guinness, white hot buttered toast, Dominoes Pizza, KFC, Double Deckers and nachos...to start with!

well done you!

well done byron! I lost 0.5lb

Themrs, it will because of ttom..you can put on lbs of water weight dn't be disheartened. Stick to it and you will see a great result next week. Remember it's not the steep hills that stop us getting to our destination it's giving up that does that!! :)

Dreading it tonight (6.30) went right of the rails at the weekend and been trying to play catch up all week.

I hate the fact I can't resist weighing the day of W.I. Wish I had more will power!

How exciting!!

I too had a bit of a messy weekend..so here's to us kicking our own butts back into shape this week! Well done on the silver x

I'm sorry you had a sucky time...but WOW you are doing sooo well!! Can I ask a few questions? What does an average day's food look like for you? I am also on EE. Do you exercise as well, and what's your average loss each week? LOL sorry it's just that we are a similar starting weight and height...

Well done...onwards and upwards!! x

Hello everyone!! This is me!

Maintained this week...boo!

bump :)

How did you both do?

We are our own worse enemy getting on those scales huh? Don't worry it won't be as bad as you think. When you eat high salt food like crisps, pastries, junk food in general your body holds on to water. Its impossible to gain 5lbs of fat in just a few days. Get back on track and you will see...

Well done you! Can i just ask where do your comps come from are they on line or magazines?

ooops...think I underestimated :( Thanks xx

it's the origional bars :)

Can anyone tell me the sin values of special k bars. Can they be used as a healthy b? Thanks x

Hi! Can anyone tell me the sins in a ww chocolate dessert. Not the frozen ones but the chilled ones like a chocolate yoghurt. They are soooo yummy ;)

I lost 1lb this week thanks :) x

I lost 1lb this week :)

You will get it in no time..you're doing fab! x

Thanks Natt. I'm not holding out much hope for a loss on my second week weigh in. I cheated a peak on my home scales (which seems to match my SW W.I one) and they say I have STS...and that's stark naked first thing in the morning..W.I isn't until 6.30. Think I'll be hitting the treadmill...

Can I join I want to lose 7lbs this month, already (lost 4 last week)

thanks x

YAY!

Oh hun, I so know how you feel...and I know I am not the only one. You have to decide to make that first step..after that it's easier, and you will already feel better just by going to a meeting, better than you do right now. I too have 3-4 stone to lose and I joined last week by myself and I...

Hi I am a Fitness consultant/manager so thought I would give you some advice here. Like Judimac said you can not spot reduce, unfortunate as that may be! Sit ups will work some of the ab muscles but will do nothing to burn the fat that covers them, that is all down to healthy diet and a complete...

yes

Happy sunday too! I had bacon and scrambled eggs for brekkie and having roast beef dinner later! Mmmmmm x

Unfortunately the body will lose fat from where it choses too so it may be that you have either lost it mainly from one area that it's not that noticable from i.e your face, arms, ankles, or that you have lost just a little from all over that isn't enough to drop a dress size. In the past I...

Yep that's all free, providing the bacon is grilled not fried! I'm only on week 2, lost 4lbs first week on EE :)

Calculating your score.. Questions correct: 9 / 10 You took 96 seconds to complete this quiz. Total score: 804 Just math question wrong!

what are the sins for the light, not extra light? :)

I LOVE diet Coke, hate full fat, hate Pepsi, funny tho Tesco's own is ok! It has to be caffiene free tho as i gave up caffiene 6 weeks ago!

aww thanks everyone..I can't believe how much this way of eating suits me! Good luck to everyone for this weeks weigh in xx

After my first week I lost 4lbs! Yay me!! :happy096::happy096: I've never lost that much in my first week on any diet...and I've not even felt like I am on a diet!! On to week 2...

OMG that is the best news I have heard all week!

Good luck x

Just curious about the HEB's. Can you have 2 aplen bars for 1 HEB? x

I made a lovely tea tonight which didn't look very nice but tasted wonderfull! I made a risotto with quorn pieces, peas, celery, green pepper,mushrooms and red onion. I seasoned with Thai spices and a little soy sauce. It was Mmmmm!

Good luck! I only started myself last Thursday and I am doing extra easy

You've been really helpfull with all my newbie advice so just wanted to wish you good luck and hope everything goes well for you x

I eat my mushrooms a week out of date! Lol...but then I am thrifty!

The use of Protein powder when the goal is weight loss is widely arguable amongst fitness trainers. The first thing to remember is that to build lean muscle you need protein, so if your goal is to gain muscle you would be thinking about using 1g of protein per 1lb of body weight, if you are...

Boxercise is a good form of cardio. Depending on the instructor you may also do resistance work and core stability work. It's a good all rounder. Core work can be done at home easily without any equipment. Firstly forget so much about the traditional sit ups as these work predominantly on the...

Lol...sorry. Toning is a strange word really...when you want to "tone" it usually means the look you want is tighter firmer areas of the body and the reason they need firming is due to either lack of lean muscle and/or excess fat/skin. If the areas are fat then you can not spot reduce it, i.e...

Hi again. The gym I manage is in Cambridgeshire and previous to this I ran a fitness facility within a sports college. In my experience body fat scales are not that accurate, I use either bodystat (electrodes) or callipers, much more reliable. Remember there are so many factors that can affect...

Hi I am also an exercise professional, advanced Reps Level 4 fitness consultant specializing in medically referred clients. I also manage a large fitness facility. So it's nice to know that we have lots of good advice on here, but this post concerns me slightly 10% loss in 2 weeks and 7% fat...

Mmmmm I had this for tea today and yesterday all I can say is YUMMMMMM! Free on green and Extra Easy.:D Recipe is on the SW site but I can give it to you if you wish

Thanks Natt! You are one very helpfull lady!

Thank you ladies...I sound kind of dumb huh?! I think it's the freedom with SW opposed to the restrictive dieting I am used to that confuses me, I will go now and read the newbies thread.

thank you. Yes I have the books, I think I just am a little sceptical that it works because of the old origional/green way of thinking!

I'm confused!:confused: Am I correct in thinking on extra easy you can mix carbs and protein as free foods? I.E, I can have fish with rice, minced beef bolognaise and spaghetti, etc? If on red it's predominantly meat/fish etc, and on grean it's veg and carbs, how on extra easy can it work to...

As I'm new to SW I am a little confused...is this also free on Extra Easy??

Can I eat Porridge oats for breakfast as a healthy extra on all plans?

Well I joined! I did go with the intention of just going to get the books and info, but I think I am going to stick at it. The group seemed freindly and supportive, and they seem to all be having good sucsess. My starting weight scared me but I feel motivated to do this... So..here's to my 3...

Thank you so much for the advice Natt, that was excellent info. I think you are right though, I need to go along and see how it goes. I think there is a discount on joining atm. once again thanks :)

Hi everyone. I am a serial failed slimmer with 3.5 stone (just under 50lbs) to lose until I am anywhere near happy with my weight. :wave_cry: I would love to do slimming world but due tomy financial commitments I really can't afford to join a group or even on line. Is there any on line site...

After realising I started my diet on Saturday last week, I weighed in this morning and at week 1 I'm 3lbs down...yay mee! Hope everyone else is having a good week. On to week 2:party0049:

Hi Amy I haven't weighed myself yet as I promised myself that I would only do it once a week, so I have to weight (hahaha) till Monday...fingers x'd it will be good news :) I only use the bars as I can not stomach milk it makes me gag. A few years ago SF did a hot choc variety that was made...

Yeah me too!!! Hahahahaha:chores016:

Hi Amy Well done resisting! I am on day 4 of SF and doing fine too! Keep up the good work, we'll do this together! nadine x

". .Also when you fat turns to muscle muscle burns things off quicker so exercise is def the way forward. " Just wanted to point out that fat can't turn to muscle...they are two different things. it's like saying water turns to chocolate! It's a misconception. Indeed though muscle takes more...

LOL!

That is fantastic progress..Well done!! xx

Thank you all for your kind welcomes! Can I just say the transformation pictures are just amazing!! Truly inspirational site x

Hi everyone. :wave_cry: I'm Nadine from Cambridgeshire and I am starting the Slim Fast plan today. I am currently 35 years old, menopausal (complete hysterectomy last Christmas) and need to loose 3 stones to get my BMI to the very top end of normal. I weigh 14.3 and I want to be 11.3 by this...
