I'm back on doing the plan from home. Have done a large shopping trip so have lots of fresh and yummy ingredients. I am hoping to lose at least half a stone by Christmas, so hello everyone again. :)

Hi, I get the same cravings a week before a period. I just cannot feel full at all and constantly hungry. It's always a bad week for me as I am trying so hard to not eat, but I feel like I have to because I am constantly hungry. The rest of the time I'm fine, it's just those few days...

I agree with above. :) Whenever I have a workout, I try to do 30 minutes cardio with 15 or 20 minutes weights (this is at home though as I can't afford a gym right now).

Hi everyone, I've lost a pound since my last 'check in' on here. I had a couple of moments where I did eat a bit too much, but exercise helped with that. manicdeb - I felt the same last week, I just wanted to eat all day at one point. In the end I ended up having a couple of treats and then...

Hi, may I please have the recipe for the pork stir fry? Thanks. :)

I agree with the others, 17 pounds in 17 weeks is definitely do-able. :) There's lots of support on this forum.

Hi. :) I think today I had a bit too much chocolate so I'm back on track as of tomorrow. Been so good for the past few days so feel a bit guilty now. Lots and lots of fruit and veg over the next few days I think. :)

Hi Katie and welcome. :)

Hi, I think a lot of theme parks have an actual seat before the queuing section, for people to see if it will be comfortable for them to use the ride. Personally I think you'll be okay. :) Have fun! :)

Hi everyone, I haven't officially introduced myself but wanted to now. :) I'm doing SW from home as I can't get to classes so I'm following SW with books, magazines, websites and this forum. :) I'm enjoying the different dishes I can eat although I have had a couple of days where I've eaten a...

I'm 16.2 now and really want to be in the 15's by early May. I shall be joining this thread now. :)

Hi Katie and welcome. :)

I have made lots of SW dishes and a few times the finished meal never tastes or looks good. It can be frustrating especially when you've spent an hour cooking the thing lol! I really like SW chips though, really yummy comfort food and taste so much nicer than the frozen variety, only thing...

How many times a week are you exercising? When I first started working out after a period of no exercise I ached all over. I found after a while my body had 'got used' to it and I didn't ache quite so much. You might just need some time to adjust.

Hi everyone :) I am still loving Leslie's workouts. I try to do 4/5 a week (at least 2 miles each time) and I feel like I've had a good workout afterwards. I love the fact that you can carry on with the rest of the day as you're not too tired (..with some more traditional aerobic workouts I...

As the title says really - craving sweet foods (i.e chocolate/icecream and sweets) all week. Gave in earlier & ate an entire bag of chocolate buttons (oops :p and 2 chocolate yogurts) & now feeling guilty. Anyone got any tips for steering away from naughty foods and eating healthier snacks...

Hi Sarah, welcome! Well done for the weight loss so far. :)

Aw no don't worry! I think weight fluctuates throughout the week so it is probably not an accurate weight! Did you weigh in the evening? Tomorrow is a new day so put this blip behind you and carry on. :D

Yeah, it's literally one click of a button and the food is in the virtual basket. :p I haven't had chocolate for ages so I am going to enjoy my half of the bar of it. :D I did promise myself I'd do an extra zumba class this week to make up for it too so hopefully I won't have a gain this week. :D

Ooo yes we will be very proud once we reach our target weights! Did an ASDA home delivery shop today, was very tempting to add snacks to the list. Did add a bar of galaxy to have with strawberries as a treat, but going to cut the bar in half and use the other half some other time. Sorry I'm...

Hi! How was your evening meal? Nice I hope! :D What DVD did you buy?

30 minutes of tae-bo today, ate healthy foods although had a curry for dinner but I made it healthier by cutting out the naan bread and having a small portion, was delicious. My snacks were two yogurts, first one was 190 calories (but had it as part of my breakfast), the other was a 70 calorie...

I'm not following any diet (such as SW or WW), I'm doing it all alone. Just cutting down my portions, eating more healthy foods and lots of exercise! It's working as I've lost 6 pounds so far in the past 2 weeks. I'm very jealous of what you had for dinner. I am craving chips right now...

I'm interested in the responses too! I'm not doing SW but am always unsure if I should weigh myself when it's time of the month.

Hi Lou (and everyone else!) Firstly, Lou you're doing fab, keep going!!! A positive mindset is EVERYTHING! :D I used to snack all the time, instead of reaching for crisps or chocolate I now grab something healthy, maybe an apple (I've just had one haha) or even something like sugar free jelly...

Hi everyone! I am starting this diary so I can update on how much I'm losing (for my own records) but to also have somewhere to vent/share successes/have general chit chat etc! :D OK, well I am currently at 16 stones & 5lbs (although some days I am 16.6 and others I am 16.5!?) I was 16.10...

I feel the same! I am 16 stone 5 lbs & can fit into UK sized 16 tops (18 for trousers though). When I was 11 stone I could fit into size 14! I am 5'10 so quite tall too.

Hi! Good luck, you can do it. :)

I love Leslie Sansone videos! They're sooo good if you can't be bothered to go outside lol. I do the 3 mile walk either 2 or 3 times a week (alongside other exercise). Does anyone do the video on youtube with the band? (It's a three mile walk). I don't have the band but I do use weights and they...

I love the recipes in the mag! They're so easy to make and taste delicious.

I tried this a few days ago & it was nice. I think I used too much bovril though as it was very sickly & the bovril was all I could taste really! (Still nice though).... was told it was too salty by someone who tried it with me. It's nice with a wrap, some salad and tomatoes!

Small pasta dish with wholemeal pasta, tablespoon of low cal mayo, tuna & a side salad.

Hi Vikki, welcome! I love this site (I'm a fellow newbie!) Sorry to hear you're not feeling 100% right now. How much more do you have to lose? (Well done on the nearly 2 stone mark though, go you!) :D Weight losing is tough, I find it struggle too, but we'll get there, it takes lots of...

Hi! I hope I can post on here as I'm not officially with slimming world.. (yet I buy the magazines and cook a lot of the recipes - I just don't go to an actual group!) I find it very hard to get motivated at first, but I soon get there! I generally think of the benefits of being slimmer. It's...

Hi everyone! I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS as of yet, however I have a lot of the symptoms so I am seeing the doc next week to see what is going on. Well, I'm incredibly frustrated with my weight right now. I started a work out and healthy eating regime around 8 weeks ago & have lost half...
