Thanks for the encouragement! Just to let you know, day 1 of 100% is complete! 3 more to go - i can do this!! Would love to lose 5.5lb to hit next stone bracket so here goes. Seeing friends I've not seen in years top so motivated now!

Thanks for the replies. Im going to forget how many weeks I want to do and just concentrate on those 4 days like you say! I think the closer I get to target the more I sabotage as when I hit goal...what do I do then? My life has been one long diet...like a security blanket I maybe need to...

Hello! I'm totally new to Exante - my mum is doing it and doing so well, and I (an avid Slimming Worlder) have hit a wall, so she has bought me some packs. I started last week but, without going in to details as this is 100% Total etc, I faffed about having 3 packs and picking or having two...

I think I need to give this a go! Really worried I'm gonna do it wrong though :( Can I post my meals up every so often for advice please? Breakfast today is - grapefruit, weetabix, milk. (HA/HB) Is that ok?? :confused: Sent from my XT890 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I just hope it helps. I wanted it to be (for me) easy to find all my usual Christmassy foods at a glance without having to hunt through. I've added (and will continue to add) any syn values you guys think would be top of your Christmas list! :D Sent from my XT890 using MiniMins.com mobile app

The way slimming world works us that the free and especially super free foods are bulky and super low in calories. The point is you fill up on them, naturally limiting your calorie intake without having to count anything. Example - what would fill you more? A whole cabbage? Or a packet of...

My last weight loss week is Monday and I've lost 6.5lbs so far... as I gained 2.5lbs after a rubbish week! Would love to get to 10lbs!

When I had 10stone to lose...my target was always 11stone. Now I've got 3-4 stone to lose... my head keeps saying...why not make your goal...10stone...or 9stone.... stupid head! What plan is everyone doing? I'm trying out red/ee mixed (ee if I got out for food as its a hassle to work out syns...

I go to class on a Monday night! I'm rubbish though, as soon as I lose half a stone...I reduce my imaginary target by half a stone so I never feel like I'm getting closer!!

Thanks, thought I was having a third super free :) I do need to drink more water though!! Still a lot of lbs to lose!

Read a comment that it's more a cracker cheese. You take all the water out to make the cheese so adding it to pasta will just add the water back and it'll be yoghurt again.

Right... back to slimming world for 4 weeks and lost a puny 3.5lb. Not one day have I been 100% and I don't think I eat enough of the right stuff so I think a food diary is in order. I'd be super grateful if anyone can point me in a better direction or tell me where I can improve. I only have...

7hours???? In one day? Are you a machine?? Lol! Well done!

My friend lives in Edinburgh and that's 680k away so I like the idea of walking that over maybe 3 months? Going for 100k in June. 100k - 7.5k done, 92.5k to go!!

Sentinel 22 hours: 0 hours 45 minutes done MissChaos - 30 hours - 1 hour 38 mins done! Meant to add this yesterday :)

Is it just how many hours we're going for? Just posted about a walking challenge earlier so I'm up for anything!

I've just got an app on my phone that measures time, speed and distance of my walks. In may, over 2 walks I did just under 10k. Today is the 1st of June. I want to walk a certain distance by the end of the month (yet to decide what...) and thought it might be fun for some of you guys to join me...

Also can I use tights? Obviously new ones lol but I don't know where to get muslin from!

My consultant is finding out for me as I love cheese!! I'd have thought it'd be fine though as the size doesn't change. The idea of syns in free food when you change them is that you eat more - you'd eat a lot more lasagne chips than you would in real lasagne.

Weird that your new consultant is there to toe the line yet slimming world don't endorse any butcher as being syn free or as a slimming world butcher :/ Our consultant is amazing, you can go if you need to but lots stay. She practically stalks you by text! Her classes are hilarious and when I...

Ooh well done, you can do that easy! Had a few rough days at work - was my last day yesterday so been a bit stressed and I've overeaten. I weigh myself to much but it has just gone up and up. 196 to 200!! I don't start my new job until Monday so have 4 days to get myself sorted with a plan...

ooh well done!! I gained 2.5 which I expected...just not quite that much. But I did eat a heavy dinner before weigh in and don't usually so...we shall see. Want four this week as that'll get my my half stone AND off what I've gained thus week. Literally ate everything in sight lol

I eat pasta till its coming out my ears but I've recently switched to couscous. Just as filling but doesn't seem to make the weight hang around longer than needed lol. Its only 65p a bag in Tesco too and lasts me two weeks of lunches.

Hmm may only get 1lb this week if I'm lucky! Had a shitty week and have comfort ate a lot if it. Started out well for a few days then bam....argh!! Going to visit a mate in November hopefully and wanted target by then!! Next week will be epic lol. How are we all doing? Who's weigh in is next?

Well I went out for food and drinks last night as I'm leaving my job. Had fish and potatoes. Not to high in syns. Then ice cream, chocolate fondant and a few drinks.. oops.

That gives me just over 2.5lbs a week seems more doable like that I think. Any nice meal ideas to try out? Something new? Meal swap?

Had a bit of a pants week too! Not weigh in day til Monday but not looking forward to it. How much has everyone lost so far from their stone? And how many weigh ins do you have left? I've lost 6lbs and have 3 weigh ins left. 8lb to go!

How is everyone doing? Lost 3.5 lbs tonight so 6 so far over two weigh ins! Going to get my half stone sticker next week!!!

Thanks. I've tried sw chips over and over and they always come out horrible :'( I've got the free branded food book but I don't think anything in there really cuts it as snacks. Will be buying the low syn snack one at weigh in I think.

Don't stress :) I think that has an effect ya know. If you're doing it right the weight will come off :)

Congrats everyone so far!! Got weigh in on Monday! I was doing so well and hoping for a big loss compared to last week and now I feel like I've blown it. Rough day and several packets of crisps. Boo!! Oh well we shall see. My scales still say I'm doing ok.

I've been finding it hard to find low syn or free snacks. I'm not a big eater and as my consultant to group.. I'm a grazer. Not a lot snack wise that has the same salty hit as a few crisps. Jerky is good though and only 1.5 - 2 syns a bag. Expensive though.

Snap! Oh made me cross so what did I do? Half a jar of nutella and half a can of condensed milk!! How do you learn to deal with that?

Ooooh well done!! Third of the way there?

Hmm... last time week 1 3lbs week 2 5lbs I seem to need a week to get in to the swing of things... was hoping I'd get my half stone award in two weeks not three lol

I find its not even when I'm hungry... I find that instead of feeling a particular emotion, I stuff my face. Instead of acknowledging I'm (sad, stressed, angry) I eat.

Didn't keep to my food diary... went way over syns on first few days... could a lost more lol. Own fault. Big week this week! Aiming for 4!!

Well had weigh in tonight... 2.5 off! 11.5 to go! Little gutted as cheated and now wish I hadn't lol

Libra. You can out in goal weight and date and then weigh in each am. Will draw two lunes and tell you a daily goal date depending on what you weigh each day. Motivates me to stick when my actual goal date moves away lol

Is it too late to join? Put on loads this year! I bought a 6 week countdown and my first weigh in is tomorrow night. Would love to lose a stone by the end of it!

Well I've had two good days this week! Treated myself to a mini bag of posh chic drops at 9syns and was free all day. They were lovely. I know some won't agree but I weigh everyday. I've an app on my phone that charts it daily at the same time and has smoothing to allow for daily fluctuations...

I was up for HOURS!! For breakfast I have a hi fi bar. I can't eat a big breakfast. I've started having a pineapple stick after.. you know, the kids ones? I don't think hunger is the problem. :/ I am getting all my books out tonight and I'm going to do re learn and meal plan etc for next...

I dont think its even that I want the snacks... not hunger wise anyway. And yes! I was up all night after the energy drink fiasco! Saw a text I sent to a friend saying "I can't sleep!! Its 4am and I leave for work at seven!!! Heeellp!" I had a good day yesterday. I made a much bigger lunch...

Thanks, I know you're meant to have free food (meats, veg, fruit, grains) and 5-15 syns per day. 1 tbsp of mayo is 2 syns. I dunno, I thought I was doing the right thing with my meals but in the house or en route I just crave bad stuff. Even if I've planned syns (fats) in to my day. Like...

Hi lovely slimming world people! I love slimming world, last time I lost 22lbs in 12 weeks! So now I've only got 48lbs to lose (started off with over 100!) I've rejoined. Today is day 4 and I've got a problem. From when I get up to when I finish work I am so good. I plan my syns, have my...

That's what I love about sw. I can get to target and maintain afterwards without actually having to 'quit' the diet... its a life change forever :D Rejoined last night! My Club10 is exactly my lowest weight before y recent weight gain and was already my first goal!

Have you tried smash pizzas? Or I make my own. Pitta as healthy extra...all free toppings...maybe some cheese as healthy extra too..

Hello! I'm new, sort of. I've been on mini mins and diets for years.. losing gaining losing gaining. This time is going to be my final lap, all the way to goal. I started at 19, weighing 279lbs - that's 1lb off 20st! By last October I'd got to (nearly) 23 and 183lbs. So close to goal. I had...
