Morning Everyone :D Ok so my stats are looking terrible but I'm actually quite pleased. It says I've lost 0.5lb. But actually, I started my diet full on again on monday at a higher weight than MiniMins known so intact I've lost 4lb since monday. I feel like I'm on it now. Why's it always so...

Hey guys, Haven't wrote in a while as everything's been a bit poop. So, unfortunately I'm not pregnant anymore. Very disappointed but I know it happens to millions of people everyday. As you can imagine I haven't been that great on slimming world for 2 weeks. Took a big plunge and the Jock and...

Morning everyone, The last couple of weeks have been very strange. I've food optimised 100% and have been having great losses but this week I've gained 5lbs. Was absolutely devastated. Could not understand it. I put it down to being due on my star week...but that didn't come. I've since found...

Thank you! I'm just shocked it's working! X

Another 4lb this week. Can't actually believe it. How is this diet so yummy but effective? x

Morning Girlies, this week feels like it has flown by AND I've lost another 4lbs. I can't actually believe it. Why did I never do this diet before? Why have I put myself through months of shake diets and calorie restricted diets? I'm fully expecting to stay the same or something next week. I...

Hey, glad you had a good weigh in. I am toooootally terrified of stepping on a plane. I remember going to Vegas a few years ago and I just squeezed into the seat belt, I think I was in the top end of 21st. I just have this sneaky suspicion that short haul and domestic flights have smaller seats...

I always expect 1 or 2lb max a week once you get past the first few weeks so that blew me away and definitely motivated! Congrats to you too !! :) Well done everyone x

4lb soooo chuffed :) x

Morning :) How has everyone's week been? I'm still blooming loving SW. Easily the most adaptable diet I have done. Definitely doesn't intrude on my life so much. Got right back on the plan Monday morning and have LOST 4lb this week, sooo shocked. Has really spurred me on. The jock and I are...

Thank you :) x

Hello!! Always nice to have new people to chat to. Thanks for popping in! How are you finding it? X

So had my first blip in 31 days on Saturday! :( It was my friends birthday and we were going out for meal and drinks. I'd planned a red day as thought probably easier. However the menu was ruuuuuubbish. I'd made the mistake of not eating at lunch so by the time my (dry) chicken ciabatta and...

Morning ladies!!! Soooo, this week has been amazing. Went for my interview Monday, I was terrified!....GOT THE JOB. It's something I've always wanted to do so I'm over the moon. I've lost 2lb this week so it's all a step in the right direction. I think loosing weight is making me feel...

Hiya, VLCDs are amazing. I did one a few years ago and lost ALOT of weight. But they just suck the life out of you lol. I couldn't have a Prosecco or anything :/ Slimming world takes a little longer but so much more sustainable. Good luck with it. Are you doing green/red days or extra easy? Xx

2lbs off :) xx

Thank Youuuu xx

I'm soooooooooooo nervous this morning. Not going to be able to face lunch or dinner. Have a job interview at 2.45 :/ :( I have a good job now so if I don't get it, I'll be no worse off. But, it's my dream job in the profession I'm in. Anyway, hope you have all had a good weekend xxx

So, decided this time round I'm NOT going to have a cheat day. You know, starve yourself all day until weigh in. Then come home and have whatever you want just for that night, cos you still have 6 days to lose. This time I'm doing every day as a food optimising day, because this has to be a new...

Hey I'm a Thursday weigher too! This is my third week. Really gutted I've stuck to it 100% this week and I've only lost 1lb that's 15 1/2 lb in 3 weeks. Is it normal for weight loss to dramatically slpw down after a few weeks? :/ :(

Only lost 1lb this week. Slightly gutted as tried 100%, no slip ups :/

Thank you so much Mrs :) The support on here is great really spurs you on!! So, tonight I very nearly had a disaster. Had saved my syns, as was planning on being a reformed domestic goddess and cooking the Jock a meal when he got home from work...courtesy of 'Mama's Dolmio'. The plan was...

Honk Day 20!

So, today I'm picking a Red day, to balance out my carby Green day yesterday. The jock will tell you, I'm an awful cook. It just never interested me, he's definitely the cook in our house. However, I know SW relies on cooking from scratch so today I decided to cook....an omelette (haha) Best...

Thank you so much xx

Thank you! It's funny you can go along thinking noone understands you, of noone knows what it's like to be in your situation. But it's great to hear from people who are :) x

I had a panicky wobble whilst eating my dinner last night. Still optimising 100%. But, I finished work late and was really hungry so made a LARGE bowl of pasta (free) 75g philidelphia light (HEA) 1tbsp Pesto (2.5syns) ... I proceeded to eat the whole lot and felt very full. My boyfriend decided...

Thank you guys :) xx

Woooow! I just found your tummy tuck thread. That's incredible. You look so tiny. Did your wound heal up properly? So, do you think I should cut down on my syns then? I'm having 15 a day. But I'd rather be harsher if it meant the weight coming off quicker? Also, I had a big bowl of pasta...

Honk!!! Day 19...Ooooosh x

Oh my gosh! You've just made me believe that it is possible to lose a massive amount of weight and look like you've always been stunning. People always tell me that 'you were obviously meant to be big' or 'but you just wouldn't look like you if you were skinny' but you just show that it's...

Why would it jeopardise it though if it's free food? Confused.

I keep seeing the term food abuse being used in threads. I don't really understand what it means? Can anyone help?

So, the Jock is sat watching the footy and I've spent the last couple of hours scouring SW recipes in preparation for a big shop later. I have NEVER planned my weeks meals before. But it seems that's the key to success. Have to admit I'm not the greatest cook but I'll give it a go. I'm loving...

Thank you! Impressive that you're motivated still even when pregnant. I'm terrible I'd just use it as an excuse...."oh the baby wants Ben & Jerry's" haha x

I was just reading your diary. You're doing amazingly well. Inspiration. You're so right I'm starting at pretty much the sand stats you did. When you have such a huge amount to loose it seems like you'll never get there and the thought of putting on a size 14 just seems a bit of a fantasy. But...

So, second weigh in today bag I've lost 7lb...sooo that's 14 1/2 lb, in total, in two weeks. Am very pleased!! Have stuck to it 100% and even used all of my syns. Green & Red days seem to be workjng out best and I just never feel deprived. Why did I do this before?! Much more doable than the...

Hey :) glad you're following. Sooo good to have someone that is in the same kind of boat. That is actually the most sensible strategy for syn usage I've heard. It's true cos at the mo I don't actually feel like I'm on a diet, largely because I can have the old Celebration etc (tins of Xmas choc...

I'm a operational support manager. Basically a fancy word for a bed manager. Not the most liked person in a hospital. Lol. But it's interesting. I miss being a proper nurse though so have applied for a Sisters post. Interview is next week. It's one of the reasons I decided to start loosing...

Thank you guys! Super chuffed. Still going strong so looking forward to WID. Sorry I haven't had time to post much, work is hectic at mo. Winter makes hospitals a crazy place xx

Morning everyone, Ok so first WI this morning and I've lost..... 7 & 1/2 lbs , completely chuffed. Most exciting bit is receiving my half stone award sticker!!! I know the first week is always a bigger loss but this has spurred me on to not cheat on WI day. Sooo tired this morning, roll on the...

WID tomorrow and...I'm actually really excited. For the first time in a long time I'm sticking to a plan and not feeling deprived. Actually, I'm eating more food and it tastes better than the crap I usually lived on. I had terrible eating habits, starve myself all day then come home from work...

Thats great! So, does this mean you will be getting weighed on Thursdays? Are you a SW online member? x

Thank you for your support. This website is great, it's literally stopped me eating munchies and wanting food tonight. It's nice to know so many people are going through the same thing and can relate x

Hey, I'm on Day 4 of slimming world. Totally know what you mean about photos. I was sat looking at pictures of myself on Facebook from a party the night before, on New Years Day! I was so shocked I cried. Hideous. But, it's scared me into action! I'll be subscribing. Good luck xx

That's a good way of looking at Rae Rae. Thank you x

Wow thank you ladies!! I wasn't expecting to get any replies. I'm on Day 4 and feeling great so far! I haven't even looked at ExtraEasy, I'm just doing Red & Green at the mo. I'm so tempted to step on the scales but I really want my online experience to be as authentic as going to a group...so...

Hiya, I have 11st 6lb to loose. I know when it's such a large amount it feels like a massive unachievable task. But, I've read some truly inspirational stuff on here. I've gone with Slimming World as I feel it seems a healthy long term diet for people who love food. Good luck, always here for...

Hi everyone. I'm Charli, I've just joined SW on the 2/1/14. Will be subscribing as be nice to follow your journeys (now I sound like Louis Walsh). I've got 11st 6lb to loose. So, gonna be around a while. Good luck! X

My name is Charli, I'm 28 and live in the beautiful Devon. Since I found drive through McDonalds, pints of cider and my first husband at the age of 18, my weight spiralled out of control. People say it was because I was happy and content, but I know it was greed and naivety, thinking I didn't...

I've just joined slimming world too! On day 3. Going well so far. But have soooooo much to loose that I'm gonna have to be in it for the long haul. Good luck. X

Haha Lion steaks! Yum. I was also wondering this as I went to Lidl to do my first dieting shop and picked up meat like beef, chicken & gammon. So, as long as fat is cut off, does that make it lean? x

How have you got on with lipotrim? x

Happy New Year!! I tooooootally jumped off the diet thing as quick as I started!! But, I'm back and have joined Slimming World (2/1/14). I've decided to stop doing these VLC diets and stick at something for the long haul, more realistic I think. How have you got on? I haven't been on here since...

I've decided to start again but on Slimming World! It's kinda pathetic that I decided to wait until 2014, with the whole new year new me proviso. But, here goes...??

Hi! I fell right off the wagon! Started again on 2nd January ? How are you getting on? x

Well done you! I'd be so happy to loose 2lb a week that would deffo let me achieve my mini target. I definitely think calorie counting could be the way forward. It forces you not to cheat and MFP makes it so easy to find everything. My weigh in day is Saturday so we'll soon see. I know it...

Thank you LMC :) there is something that puzzles me about calories counting. So say you have a 1500 kcal limit. If you had 1500 in chocolate would it be the same as having 1500 in vegetable? Can you still loose weight no matter what foods you chose as long as you stick to a calorie limit? Surely...

Thank you that has reassured me (about calorie intake) I'm definitely going to be following your journey :) :)

Morning Everyone :) So, I'm just starting Day 4, eating my 3 weetabix as I write this. I've had the last 3 days off work which I find usually makes my eating habits worse. I generally don't eat all day whilst I'm in the house then I'll binge, with the jock, in front of the TV in the evening. I...

Thank you ladies for the support! I want to be realistic and loose 2lb per week, so thank you for the advice about kcals. I panicked slightly that 1900 would never let me shift that. But in reality my normal kcal intake would be pushing the 3000's (more on a really bad day) anyway so that is...

I have 11 stone to loose, to get down to my ultimate. I think I have been in denial for many years telling myself that I'll be ok as long as I do it before I'm 30...but 30 is fast approaching and I have such a long way to go. I too did a shake diet, lighter life, although it was amazing and I...

Babycake - In an ideal world I have 11 stone to lose!! Can't believe I've let it get this far. But as you and many other have said it will take a lot of time and effort. This certainly seems the place we can help each other out. Good luck :)

Day 1 (20/04/13) Weight: 22st 5lbs Height: 5ft 7inch BMI: 49 I woke up today thinking this is it!! I have been saying this for the last 9 months, but I have now hit the 3 month countdown and I am annoyed at myself. In exactly 3 months (20/07/13) I will be attending the wedding of my boyfriend's...

Hey I am also a new user and determined to loose weight...although have much further to go :) How did you find your first week? You seem very determined. I wouldn't be disappointed with 1lb. It's well known that if you have less to loose its harder to come off. But also like you say with...

My name is Charli, I'm 27 and live in the beautiful Devon. Since I found drive through McDonalds, pints of cider and black & my first husband at the age of 18, my weight spiralled out of control. People say it was because I was happy and content, but I know it was greed and naivety, thinking...

Hiya, first of all this is my first time on this forum site. It looks inspiring cannot believe I didn't find it earlier. I have constantly gone between obese and morbidly obese since I was 18 and have decided I need to put a stop to it before I'm 30 (already wasted my 20's). I have also chosen...
