Thank you :) I think I just set my target way too high. I have been off plan for over a week now and feel rubbish, chickened out of getting weighed last weekend but am going to face the music on Saturday and expecting a gain of at least 4lb! Jess - could I please reset my target to a total...

I've never done one of these challenges before... What do you do when you realise you have set your target way too high and will never make it? :( Do you formally withdraw?!

Half on this week... :(

4lbs off this week, chuffed to bits :D

Another half off!

Another half off for me... Slowly slowly! well done to everyone on their losses and congratulations Jess on the baby!!! x

Hey - congrats on the fab loss :D Re: weighing in on a Saturday, I'm a Saturday weigher... A very reluctant one at first admittedly, but now I really like it. It was literally the only class I could get to so I went, and it's turned out so well - it makes me control myself on a Friday which...

Half a pound down for me this week. Better than nothing :o

That's incredible! Well done!

Congrats on the award!!! I love the colour, I bet it looks as nice on your kitchen cupboard as it does mine :D

Hi Sophie Sorry - I didn't mean to tell you off about the mid week weighs - I'm a serial scale hopper myself :D As for motivation for my Christmas goal... The weekend before I joined SW, my boyfriend's mum came to stay with us. The only pair of jeans I had left that fit had just torn in the...

Helllooooo! Am I too late or am I allowed to squeeze in as its only just October?! i would like to lose 21 pounds. This will take me to a total of three stone and half a pound, meaning I can say I've lost over three stone :D

Hey CT! So impressed that you managed to step away from the bread :D bet you wouldn't have seen yourself doing that a few months ago! I think that's a massive NSV personally! So glad you had a good time at Zumba. I've wanted to go for ages but feel it would be better with someone else. I work...

I am on board with this! - my target is 3 stone total by Christmas, meaning I have 20 and a half pounds to go. I have 12 weigh ins left and by my calculations I think that's about 1.7 pounds per week?? Hurray for the 1lb - though I feel I should tell you off for the mid week weighs :D

Sorry :o I will try my best!!

You've already reduced your BMI by five points which is amazing. And I think it's good to focus on BMI as well as weight because it's an indication of healthiness, rather than just slimness!!

Hehe it's silly isn't it, how happy we'll be!! Even though I find the word obese horrible and frightening, it's much nicer than 'morbidly obese'!! Ill be honest, I do feel like I've cheated a bit as haven't followed plan brilliantly. But I've been on my feet sooooo much, running around all over...

Hello all!! Phew - I'm SHATTERED!!!! Worked 12 days straight, long days, I'm ruined! Dragged myself out of bed this morning to go to Slimming World and... 4lb off :D That's over two weeks but I'm still chuffed to bits. Got my half stone award, woohoo! 3 and a half pounds to go for my club...

Hey CT! It's cool to see you've tried a red day - I've had a few in the last few weeks and I do like them. Can't live without loads of potato for long though! Thank you from me as well missk, I also didn't realise beans weren't free on red! I thought they were always free! Phew :D

Thanks ladies :) so lovely to know you're still here even when I go AWOL!! Just had dinner - homemade Nandos chicken with the hot marinade, so delish but my tongue is on fire!! The good thing is it makes me drink lots of water :D

Hey! Just a flying visit - I'm knackered! Been working 11/12 hour days all week, working all weekend and all next week as well! So taking this brief opportunity to chill! Food-wise food has been ok. Haven't eaten enough as been rushed off my feet! But when I have eaten in the day it's been...

Amazing!!!! That's so fab, well done :D

NSV ALERT!!!! NSV ALERT!!!! :D Found a gorge cardi in New Look this afternoon - automatically reached for an 18 and tried it on. Thought it was a tad loose, dared try on a 16 and – it fit perfectly!!! Yes it's a slouchy cardi, and I don't think I'd fit a 16 in a more fitted top, but - woohoo...

I'm exactly the same, I'd much rather be curled up on the sofa watching the rubbish weather through the window!!! No interest in being outside in it at all!! Thats why I ended up doing my video, as you can do that inside and then fall on the sofa :)

Yeah I think it's a good idea :) the weather was so cold and miserable this morning I couldn't face going out for a swim, so did my video instead in the comfort of my own home! I like being able to collapse on the sofa afterwards :D And at least you know that no matter how unfit you feel and...

Well - I just did my exercise video for the first time in ages - knackered! Feel like I need a sleep!! There are two 'laps' of the exercises and I can barely get through the first set! The second half I do my best but can hardly do any of it properly! But I did it, and I'm proud of myself :)...

Phew - 2lbs off so I've lost my gain from last week!! CT - I try my best to plan and prepare but in the day I still find myself grabbing extra stuff! It's just my own silly brain me lack of willpower :) the next two weeks are going to be total madness, I work at a university and all our new...

Hey CT :) sorry for abandoning you! So happy to see that your 'disappointing' (to you only ;)) loss hasn't thrown you off track! Bring on that award on Tuesday!!

Love the nails, love the decorating, love the 30DS commitment :D and the scales of course!! Have an AMAZING day at the wedding x

*slinks back in with tail between her legs* Hi ladies - thank you for caring, and sorry for my disappearing act!! Long story short - everything went wrong and last weekend weigh-in I'd put on 2lbs. This week hasn't been great so I'm dreading getting on the scales this morning! Not making...

Thank you :-) sadly I don't have a food processor (seriously limiting when it comes to SW soups!) but when I do I will have to try it. I've never really been fussed about cauli at all but I sprayed with fry light and shook some fennel seeds over (first thing I grabbed out the herb and spice...

Looks amazing! I've never really had cauliflower before but I'm loving it recently. Roasted cauli and 'cauliflower cheese' (SW version of course!!) are current faves. Please share the secrets of your lush meal!! xx

Woooohhhoooooooo!!!! SO thrilled for you :D :D :D Yaaaay! Stone award next week!!

Sounds like a keeper!!!

Woohoo weigh in day :D excited to hear how you get on!

You can sooooo do that. Pound a week for super Sarah?? Easy :D

Thank you Emma. Thats a shame that you haven't enjoyed anything. I'm a firm believer that sometimes things happen - occasions, emotions, circumstances - and it's natural for us to relax a bit otherwise life wouldn't be right! But if you're not really enjoying what you're doing then its a...

There is nothing better than a Sunday lie in:D I have to get up on a Saturday morning to go to weigh in so Sunday is my only morning of the week with no alarm and I treasure it!! Have a lovely week too :)

Woohoo! So glad you enjoyed it, didn't feel left out, and it was alllllmost within syns :D

Morning all Had a massively lazy Sunday morning lie in, bliss! Just had breakfast/brunch/lunch - not sure what meal it would class as! Extra Easy Brunch - toast (HExB) with baked beans, bacon and loads of grilled cherry tomatoes Dinner - beef brisket in ale gravy with a Yorkshire pudding (2...

Hello :) ! x

Ah wow I love the Roadhouse! Glad you had a great night, and the dress is fab!

Is not terribly faffy, it's just in the week after work I prefer to do something that you don't have to stand over for ages, so shove it in the oven or leave it on the hob. But with this you have to basically stay in the kitchen for 45 minutes doing different things so it would annoy me after a...

News flash: If you like curry, the chicken tikka masala from the new magazine (in the little book) is amazing!!! Comes out properly creamy and thick and delicious, mmmmm. Like a takeaway! And syn free! (Except for my 9 syns of naan of which I enjoyed every single crumb). It's a bit faffy and...

I think you'll probably feel pretty full after a starter and a roast... And if you don't then you can either enjoy a bit of pudding and not feel guilty because you've made the choice and are in control (could you share with OH or someone else to at least get a taste?) Or sit there smugly knowing...

Well done for completing your walk! It doesn't matter if it takes one hour or four, you did it which is the important thing. And you'll be speeding round in no time!

Happy weekend everyone!! Having a lazy/cheap one this weekend. Went out last night for dinner and then drinks whilst watching the Super Cup so now just chilling and trying not to spend money! Am aiming to have a 100% week this week. I'm terrible at missing healthy extras (or having too much...

Brilliant, let's do it :D Weighed in this morning and stayed the same, happy with that!!! Especially as on top of my KFC I went to Nandos last night...!!! So Cheese Thief, the challenge is on! I'm going to start today as I've had my weigh in but join me on Monday. You can totally smash that...

Haha now that is very very true!! I've got my meals planned for tomorrow and Friday so should be roughly on plan, then starting afresh on Saturday (I know you can get back on plan at any point in the week but somehow I'm mentally more focused if I start on a new week!! Will 'fess up the damage...

Well done for the loss :D very confident you will see the number 22 on the scales next week!!

Hope you're ok and had a lovely bank holiday weekend xx

So happy you're back Minks! So excited we'll get to celebrate target with you when you get there :D

Congrats on another brilliant loss Stevie!! And I made the pizza topped chicken last night thanks to your advice and the result? YUM!! Massive hit with me and the boyfriend so thank you for that! xx

Thanks ladies. I will confess to having been thrown off plan a bit by the weekend :mad: so cross with myself! Going to try and reign it in now for the rest of the week (damage limitation!!). Fully expecting a deserved gain this Saturday, but have already started my planning for next week's...

Oh and I almost forgot, another one pound off this week :)

Have had a fantastic weekend thank you! So good to catch up with my friends, I don't see them that often but we have that brilliant thing where literally within three seconds it's like we've never been apart. Went to see Wicked last night which was AMAZING. I loved it so much! Want to see it...

Good evening everyone - it's only blooming Friday :D and better still the Friday before a three day weekend!! Just about to start cooking tea, Mediterranean cod (recipe from the SW website) with rice, green beans and broccoli. First time trying the recipe so hope it's a good one!! Then I've...

Hi Emma, and thank you for being so lovely :) I will certainly have a look at your diary. That honestly is the best thing about minis - meeting and talking to people who are in exactly the same boat. Honestly I think I would have gone off the wagon this week without it, but reading that so many...

Thank you - it's nice to know I'm not alone!!! I know it'll happen one day, I just want it to be today :D

Ahh thank you!!! And I will be here for you too :) It is weird isn't it - I know we should be so proud for losing what we have but I don't think it'll sink in until I'm in a size smaller!! xx

Cheese is definitely worth it!! EE is more flexible I think, definitely. But if you can plan ahead (I've forced myself to start doing it and it really helps!) maybe try throwing in a green day once or twice a week.

I do if I've been good :D its worth getting up for on a Saturday morning anyway! I do look forward to weigh in and class.

Have an amazing weekend Emma! x

Ooh lovely! I will have to have a look in Tesco. Thank you!

Ooh what is aromat? I fancy trying the carrot chips, plus I am a wedges fiend so would love some tips to jazz them up :D

Thank you :) it's nice to know I'm not alone!! I think I need to lose at least 2 stone before I start to feel it, and I know it'll come, but I just feel a bit fed up this week. To be honest you inspired me with the mini goals!! I have them all (about 30!) on the kitchen cupboard but when I saw...

You look fab!! I absolutely love that top :D I want one!!

Welcome!! It's a shame about your family being unsuppprtive but at the end of the day only you know how you feel in your own skin, and what's right for you. And you've definitely come to the right place for support!! Well done on the losses so far :-)

Morning all Sorry for my negative moment last night. I was feeling so fed up, I don't really know where it had come from but I was SO grumpy! I basically went on strike and just sat on the sofa all night, didn't want to cook or anything. Ended up not eating dinner even thought my boyfriend...

Hi! Ahh it's lovely to see you here :) I have finally added my diary to my sig so hopefully it is now easier to find!

Sorry no proper updates - feeling a bit fed up this week! Will get back on track with the diary next week I hope

Ooh lush! I thought it'd be a proper faff with cooking the chicken, cooking other bits, putting it together, grilling the cheese... Sounds so easy :D think I might be having it this weekend! Yum. Thank you for the info xx

That looks amazing!! Can I ask how you do the chicken? Do you cook the toppings first and then put them on the chicken, or just put them on the chicken raw and then grill?

Ah that sounds ace, well done! Ad love the kitties too, they're so cute :D

Helloooo Extra easy day today. Left over pasta bake for lunch and now cooking pulled pork with sweet potato mash and veg, mmmmm. Although I just had a totally stupid moment, was sat on the sofa merrily for an hour thinking the pork was in the oven and the whole time it was on the kitchen side...

Congrats on the fab loss :D

Congratulations!! On the loss, the nomination, and the fab attitude :D

I will confess... Had a roast pork bap with apple sauce and stuffing. It was deeeeeelicious!!! And I'm not feeling terrible because: * I'd only had fruit all day beforehand * Dinner will only be a couple of syns * If I'm going to be naughty I prefer to do it on a Saturday (I know cheating...

Not at all!! You are more than welcome :D think I might have something small but won't go mad!!

Its going to be tough!!! I think I eat with my nose half the time, if something smells good I want it, I think of it as 'chip shop syndrome' (even if I'm full, if I smell a chippy I just want to eat it!) I am having a very low syn day otherwise though so I think I can have a treat :D

One pound off! Pretty happy with that. My C told me I was SOTW, I didn't believe her, she put the sticker on my book and everything, then realised she was wrong!! Oops. I peeled the sticker off my book when I got home (don't want to fake my achievements!) and stuck it on my OH's tshirt as he...

Incredible!! Well done :D The 30 day shred scares me - I feel like I need at east a bit of fitness first!!

It's the WEEKEND!!! So happy. Although I got shocked awake by my alarm this morning! I weigh in at 10:30 so have to leave in a bit. Not feeling good about it - had two cheeky mid week weighs this week. In Tuesday, one and a half off. On Thursday, I'd put on two pounds, putting me half a pound...

Well, last night went a bit wrong! Day was fine foodwise, then on the way home I started to think 'hmmm I fancy doing a bit of pudding tonight'. We had yoghurts near their sell by date, plus fruit, so I popped into the shop and got some plain digestive biscuits. Bashed them up, pressed into the...

Im very happy to have you!! :) xx

That must have felt absolutely amazing!! Well done :D

Ooh a massage - lush!! Sounds like it'll be another fab weekend xx

Brilliant start, well done :D

It sounds amazing! So pleased you had such a fab time. And as others have said, forget about the scales!! What are you going to remember in ten years time?? The fact that you put on a couple of pounds this week or the fact you had the best weekend of your life?? Some things are more important! :)

Looks incredible!!! Can't wait to hear all about it :)

Extra Easy Breakfast Banana Lunch Sandwich - 2 x slices small wholemeal loaf (HExB) with pastrami, salad leaves, tomatoes Pom bears (5 syns) Dinner Chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella (HExA) and wrapped in bacon With mashed potatoes (mashed with a dash of creme fraiche, half a syn)...

Can't wait to find out how you've done!! x

How has Monday come around so quickly?! Had a cheeky bag of Freddo faces last night for 9 syns, delicious!! Took me to 19 for yesterday but on a weekend I can live with that :) Going swimming after work today! - I went twice last week for the first time in well over a year and enjoyed it. I...

Morning! Food plan for today: Extra Easy Breakfast 2 x slices small Wholemeal loaf (HExB) with baked beans and a sprinkle of cheese (HExA) Lunch Mugshot, pastrami, tomatoes, Pom bear crisps (5 syns) Dinner Beef brisket in ale gravy (free from Tesco! Syn free of course, not money...

Haha I'm doing the same at the stickers in your signature :D I actually started a diary today, after having a wobble last week and finding this site so helpful I decided it was time!! I don't have it linked to my signature though (as I am massively technologically challenged and haven't worked...

Happy birthday!! Hope you're having a fabulous weekend x

Popping in to subscribe! :) I completely understand what you're saying in terms of being more conscious about your weight now you're doing SW - it's very easy to turn a blind eye to yourself in a way, when you're not dieting, but when you make that brave decision to do something about your...

Hi! Just dropping in to subscribe :) so inspired by your amazing weight loss, and loving your attitude in being honest with what you want!

Hello everyone!! I am currently around three and a half months into my SW journey and just over a stone down. I've been perusing the forum the whole time and dipped into the world of diary writing previously, but a combination of weddings, birthday and a holiday made me lose focus a bit. Last...

That is good though, really. Might get you out the habit of doing it so regularly!!! I have started weighing myself every morning when I never did before, need to stop. Sometimes I find it quite funny though to see how much you can put on in one day (I had a curry on Sunday, went for a tomato...

Thank you! I think... Oh dear :-/ I had the best part of 40 syns at the wedding last weekend then!! Not to mention the champagne!! Oops x

Thank you both!!! As part of my mission to lose 3lbs this week and get my stone award, I have raided my magazines and written out a five day eating plan that is now stuck on the kitchen cupboard!! My consultant always talks about the 7 day menus and how they can help with a good loss, I've...

Weighed in this morning... ... Lost one and a half pounds!!! Mega chuffed with that after chippy and KFC last weekend!! 11 pounds down now, 3 pounds to my stone award - hmmm, can I do it this week - I think so!! :D

Amazing!!!! Well done :D

Ahhh it's so sunny today!! Totally gorge!! Food today: Green day Breakfast - none again!!! I never used to eat it but with SW got into the habit. I need to start having it again. Lunch - rocket salad with feta cheese (HEx A), cherry tomatoes, pastrami (HExB) and olives (1 syn). I was...

Very happy to have you!! :)

Ooh. Haven't tried that yet!! I recently did the spinach and ricotta cannelloni from the website, it was amazing, did not feel like any sort of diet food!!

Didn't read your previous diary but here to follow you on your fresh start!!! You look fab already, looking forward to supporting you as you continue x

I don't think I'd be able to even do one - I'd squat and never get up again :D

Well done! Do you go to a class to weigh in?? And sorry, I didn't reply to your other post, yes - I love the plan!! Really enjoying cooking different things, and I'm actually saving money as not buying takeaways or going out for dinner. How about you? What's your fave recipe??

Oh yes where are they? Also, is that beef brisket you have from Tesco frozen? I'm going to hunt them both down this weekend

Food today: Extra easy day No breakfast - naughty!! Lunch - leftover SW patatas bravas with rocket salad, feta cheese (HExA), olives (1 syn), pastrami and cherry tomatoes Dinner - chicken done in a herby seasoning (2 syns) with packet rice (1 syn - OH is cooking and apparently he is...

Congratulations!! That's incredible x

Fingers crossed for that half!!!

I think that's definitely the best way to think about it! I've set a target that will get me into a healthy BMI, but really I don't know what my true target it. I was saying to my boyfriend, I just cannot comprehend what I will look like when I weigh 11/12 stone, I don't think I've weighed that...

Hi Lizzy So glad you're still going despite all your ups and downs, it's so strong of you to carry on. SW is definitely worth sticking with, I am a total convert and obviously it's working for you with the best part of two stone gone :D Looking forward to seeing you tackle that last stone...

The great thing is that she can see such a massive difference!! And it is scarily easy to slip back into habits (went away for a wedding at the weekend - would have been ok had it just been food and drink at the wedding but somehow I ended up with fish and chips the day before and KFC the day...

Huff pot - I'm also 16 stone 13 at the moment!!! We can hopefully both be dropping into the 15s sooner rather than later!! Thought I'd pop in and join you ladies as I drop down through the 16s (hopefully!! :))

Nothing guilty about it!!! I haven't seen them anywhere near as many times as you (five) but absolutely bloody loved every single concert!! The Circus tour was my fave!!! And not boring at all. I am glad you've managed to go a couple of days without weighing yourself though :-D x

Hi Emma Have spent the evening reading through your diary and rather than be a silent observers thought I would say hi and well done on your amazing weight loss so far!! Also enjoying the TT loving, LOVE THEM!!

Hope you've been enjoying the sun and no more pesky chocolate bars have fallen into your lap!!

Looking back on my first post I sound like such a whiner! So - no more self-indulgent moaning. As much positivity as I can muster! Because despite my fears I had such a fantastic time at the wedding, met new people, and despite eating and drinking far too much (they kept coming round with...

Hi After finally registering so I can post rather than hover, I just wanted to drop by and say hello and wow, you look amazing!!! I've been forum-watching for a few weeks and your posts always seem so positive - cant believe something so horrible has happened recently but I'm glad you've had a...

Hi Katie What a fantastic start!!! That is fabulous, well done. It's so nice that you and the children are sitting together and eating healthy meals, I'm sure it will help your daughter get into good habits!! x

Hi Laura From one newbie to another, congratulations on your first fabulous loss!!! No doubt that you'll get that first award next week.

Hi Minky Hopefully without sounding like a total weirdo, I have been reading your diary for a few weeks now (since I joined SW myself) and have found it an inspirational, funny, touching read. I don't want to just repeat everything others have said already (or make you feel even more under...

And I have cried!!! But I've also been reading MiniMins and it has inspired me and cheered me up no end, so I feel the time is right to take the plunge, sign up, and start my diary. Let me start from the beginning... ... I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. I've been a minimum...
