Thanks everyone :D With the support of my group, my partner, everyone on here, and on facebook I felt that I didn't need their support to lose the weight. I think they have realised that I have achieved what the rest of the family can't seem to; lose weight without starvation and actually stick...

Yep, that was me with my awful awful chicken roll haha. It's too bad that none of the good stuff is cheap; I do believe I will have to start buying carrot sticks again, I used to love those to munch on. They are free right? Or do I have to do it the long way?

Actually they have stopped now, which is interesting. They have done a complete 180; even when I have a bad week they say it doesn't matter and are really supportive. What the hell happened? Haha. It's weird. Thanks and good luck with your journey :D

Can anyone tell me what ham and chicken slices I can actually eat on Slimming World? I found out that what I was eating to snack on had syns and I'm unsure now what I can and can't eat. I'm finding losing weight hard now because I have nothing cheap to snack on; fruit is too expensive to just...

Darcys Mummy don't worry too much about the gain; if you have been on plan then you couldn't have gained and it will come off next week. There were a few weeks on plan when I gained a little or maintained and then lost more than I normally would have the next week, these things happen. Don't let...

Feeling awful for tomorrow. Have had a really bad week due to my severe depression (every now and again it kicks in for a couple of days and I literally do not give a f**k about anything!) Have eaten everything I could get my hands on and have only been able to start food optimising again from...

Well done Darcys Mummy! See, nothing to worry about. I however did only lose half a pound which I thought I would. Ahh well, I can only stick to the plan, it is my body that decides what I lose. Hopefully at least 2lb next week though. Fingers crossed! I am happy anyway as I looked through my...

Your consultant sounded like a right (insert own swear word here) Darcys Mummy. You should have reported her to head office. When I was on plan 100% for months I didn't always lose, it's just the way our bodies are, then I may have lost a lot more the next week. I don't think I have lost a lot...

Just left the 13 stone group last Friday. Now I weigh in at 12st12.5lb so a bit to go until the 11's but I will make it. Got down to 12st2.5lb before I had a break from SW for a little while so almost got there before. Once into the 11's I will weigh the lightest I ever remember weighing! I'm...

Lost 2.5lb this week. So pleased! About the BMI thing I am 5ft3in as well but my target weight is around 8st7lb. Just pick a weight that you feel comfortable with and stick with it. I haven't let anyone tell me that my target weight is too low, so don't let anyone tell you that yours is too...

I know I should complain but I would feel awful doing that. I don't have a lot of backbone when it comes to things like complaining. Plus she shops at the same place I do and I know that, with my luck, I would complain only to see her the next day haha.

Anna Faraday: Per 100g - 160 kCal, 12.7 protein, 3.7 fat, 4.6 carbs, and the whole pack is 400g. I put it into the calculator with the chicken allowance and it came up 17.5 syns. I know it errs on the side of caution but then so do I so that's okay. It isn't that bad; I have four more days to...

Ughhhh I was worried about that. I have eaten a whole pack this week (it isn't even nice! I just thought it was free) so that is 17 1/2 syns to spread over the rest of the week. Well that's just great! Lol, thanks for your answer. At least I have learnt and won't eat them again.

I can't find this on the SW website and have been assuming it is free, but when I put the values into the syn calculator it comes up as syns. I am a bit confused. Does anyone know anything about it?

The new group was fantastic! Gained half a pound so really happy because I have been eating ice cream and chocolate since last weigh in (Tuesday last week). Really motivated because of new group, the weight is going to start coming off again!

It was amazing! The consultant was lovely and so was everyone else. This consultant does Slimmer of the Month as well, and gives out certificates for weight loss instead of just stickers. I really regret not going there in the first place. This is the first time in months I have come away from...

Not feeling positive in the slightest. I know I've gained :sigh: I need the support of a consultant so I hope the new one can help.

Darcys Mummy have you tried changing groups or are you not able to? I am swapping groups because I dislike my consultant and my weight loss has stopped because of it (and me being naughty). I don't even like going to group now when I know I've lost because I hate the way she looks at me...

Thanks everyone. It is tomorrow at 10am, which I like because it means I don't have to eat anything beforehand teehee :D

Anyone attend this group? I am not expecting to find anyone that actually does but thought I would ask anyway. I am wondering what it is like :D

Thanks everyone for the advice. I am going to a different group this week to see what it's like. It is a 40 minute walk away instead of the usual 20 seconds walk to my group now, but what is the point of paying someone for nothing. May as well get used to walking. Good body magic anyway :)

Snozzberry that is exactly how I felt. We both need something to put that fire back in us, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. I am changing consultants this week because I think it may be lack of support and help; my consultant isn't all that great.

Oh I'm not judging her on her loss, there is a woman in my Slimming World who has lost two stone and I think she would be an amazing consultant and always take her up on her advice. It is the fact that she doesn't give advice or seem to know what she is talking about. When I have to rely on...

Chicken Tonight Honey & Dijon Mustard Sauce, Low Fat , 500g jar - this one? The SW site says it's 19 syns for the whole 500g.

I just found out on the SW website that she lost 1st7lb. That isn't exactly inspiring to someone who needs to lose over 7 stone. I think I will look elsewhere.

I am looking forward to being able to walk down the street without feeling like the blob that ate everyone. I am looking forward to feeling that people aren't constantly watching and judging me. I am also looking forward to having the confidence to get on the dance floor and doing what I love...

I don't know whether I should change my group or whether I am just being weird or something. I don't really like my consultant; that is the main problem. I don't like how guilty she makes me feel for not making her look good. When I was constantly losing she loved me but when I started going off...

Before: Me now with a lot more to go, sorry about the awful quality:

I did that. I lost over 4 stone in about 6 months whilst sticking to the plan religiously, and loving every minute of it! Then I thought "I have done so well I will just take a little break".....BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! I have been off plan for the last 6 months and put on a stone. However I kicked...

Lost 3.5lb today! So happy considering I do not lose big (or gain big so can't complain) and am finally back on plan after months of messing around.

Ooh it's so exciting just reading this! I am thinking about applying after I lose more weight. I am still too far from my target. This whole post has been so interesting and informative. What I was wondering though is should I apply whist in college and then University, or should I wait until...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I go to group and I always stayed the whole thing. I love it and find it really motivating but that just wasn't enough to stay. I had a few big hiccups last week but still lost 2lb, this week has been fine so I may be slowly getting back into it. I like the dress...

I don't know where my motivation came from in the first place for Slimming World. I just joined and started following plan religiously for the following months. I had weight loss after weight loss, and eventually I had lost 4st2lbs. It took me about 6 months and then I started maintaining a lot...

Thanks everyone. I will look into it :)

Thank you. I am willing to try anything haha.

Hey everyone. I'm sort of lost at the moment with no idea what to do about my awful bingo wings. I'm 21 and have had what looks like a ball of hanging fat at the top of my arms for as long as I can remember. Even when I weighed a lot less than I do now. It is so bad I cannot wear no-sleeved...

I would love to get a personal trainer but I do not know how to find any in my area, or any that don't cost an arm and a leg. I know some women in my Slimming World group have them but I haven't been able to ask these people. Any help would be appreciated.

I felt dizzy and weak in my first week of Slimming World. Then for three weeks after I just felt really weak and energy-less. I didn't want to give up because it was working but no one else had experienced these symptoms. I also was getting really bad acne. Then all of a sudden it was gone. I...

Thanks everyone. I feel a bit silly now and was worrying for nothing as I lost 2.5lb this week. I don't calorie count; as I said I had to see how many calories I was eating on average to check that I wasn't eating too few. I only counted calories for an average day after being on Slimming World...

Oh and I only eat 13 syns a day, I did try to lower it one week to see if it made a difference but it made me have a really small loss. I haven't changed plans, I stick to EE most women in my group have been on that plan without changing for longer than me and they are still fine.

I know I'm not supposed to count but I don't eat a lot and never have, and for the first month of Slimming World I had no energy and had a lot of headaches. I thought it may have been because I was eating too few calories, so I had to find out how many I was eating. I don't eat that much...

I am crazy on Extra Easy days. I love my meat and I love my carbs. Haven't even tried red or green yet.

I'm a bit worried because I joined Slimming World a while ago and I have had steady losses of about 2.5lb a week. For the last two weeks I have had small losses and haven't eaten more than I normally do. I know I have lost two stone and the losses slow down after a bit, but I still have about 5...

Thanks, I did think the 'first week thing' may be done everywhere. The Slimmer of the Month thing is upsetting but I will talk to my consultant about it :)

I have been going to this group for 9 weeks now and the people are lovely and it's all great but two things are really upsetting me. They do not do Slimmer of the month: Now this is upsetting because I haven't had a gain since starting and have had the best loss out of the group for the two...

Thanks everyone for the answers. I have to accept that it may never stop; they will probably just find something else to make fun about when I have lost the weight. I should be proud of myself and I guess I am. I am losing weight for myself, It's all I have wanted to do for a long time and it...

Funnily enough it only started because my brother, who was 18 stone at the time began to lose weight. It was him they used to do it with and he became thin when I was seventeen, which started it for me. But then he gained it all back and people didn't seem to notice that, they just stayed on me...

I have a very large family, in both quantity and weight. No one in my family is thin, apart from the two people who have eating disorders. Yet they call me fat and make fat jokes constantly, like when I sit down on the couch and they jump into the air, or saying "did it just get fatter in here"...

Wow, It's fantastic to hear how well everyone is doing :D I think hearing other people's success is the best motivation, and the best way to keep yourself on track. I don't exercise right now, I am a very lazy person if being honest but I am getting more energy with the weight loss and I will...

Hey, I have been going to Slimming World for eight weeks now and I have lost a whopping 1st7lbs, which I hear is really good. I haven't had a gain yet and I lose approximately 2.5lb per week. I am also not finding it very difficult. Is there a point where people find that it gets harder? As I...

It will only be a minor adjustment, I was just wondering if it was a necessary one. It's only breakfast I have to change a bit now. Thanks :D

Hey, I joined Slimming World last week and lost 5lbs in my first week but I have only been having the 1/3 superfree foods with dinner because that's what I thought you were supposed to do. I am just wondering, as my consultant isn't very helpful on the subject, does it have to be every meal that...

I joined last week and was very nervous, but the group were lovely and welcoming. Every group is different so expect a slightly different experience to mine. I arrived and then the diet was explained to me and the other new people. Then we decided if we wanted to join or just sit and watch. I...

Very inspirational. I just got my first weigh-in and lost 5lbs. I started at 16st4lbs and people skinnier than me lost more. I was really worrying that I had done something wrong and wasn't going to lose any this week. But you have made me realise some people just lose slowly no matter how big...
