Hi, I'm feeling rather low on myself right now to be honest. I joined SW last April, and lost 2 stone over 3 months. Then fell off the wagon until I rejoined on Wednesday, weighing exactly the same as I did when I started last April :mad: but was all set for doing it again and sticking to it...

Hi all, I haven't been on in a few weeks as the motivation wore off and I've been struggling a bit. Reigned in back in the past couple of weeks and I'm glad to say I've lost 4lbs since I last weighed in here!

3lb down this week. Delighted :D

Hi everyone, well done on all the losses! I haven't been on here much this last few days because I've been struggling a bit and trying to get my diet back on track. It's definitely not 100% but could be far worse. Oh and to make matters worse the insomnia I've suffered from in the past is after...

Haven't even been on here all weekend. Had a fantastic bank hol, but paid for it today. Up 1.5lb. I suppose it could be worse, considering what I ate and drank but I'm still really annoyed at myself. Determined now to get my head back in the game and work my behind off this week!

Up 1.5lb this week. Completely deserved it but still disappointed in myself. Planning to work my ass off now for next week!

Gained 1.5lb tonight :( completely expected it as I went out for dinner last week and then had a barbecue and lots of wine yesterday. My own fault really, but I'm so determined to lose it and more next week.

Hey everyone! So it's a bank hol here in Ireland and a gorgeous day, and we had relatives visiting! So let me just say, following a huge bbq and a big bottle of wine to myself (no one else drinks rose), can everyone please brace themselves for a huge I hate myself post after WI tomorrow! And...

It's been changed to be in order going by weight lost, so the people who have lost the most are at the top (I think!)

So I was being a bit nerdy and working out some numbers. In total we've lost 163.6 lbs as a group. As a group, we have lost 6.7% of our target. But if you remove the targets of people who haven't weighed in yet, we've lost 10.6% of our target. Not bad in 3 weeks! Well done everyone!!

You too jules, it's a bank hol here so hoping the sun sticks around for it!

And welcome to the new posters xx

Dolly I am so sorry you had such a bad day. I was in my last job 5 years, and 4 off them were in a call centre environment. I know from experience how hard it can be xx

Well done on your amazing loss so far! And an even bigger well done for getting back on track x

I'm doing Slimming World and love it so far! It allows you to make it a lifestyle change and still lose weight. I'm down 17.5lbs in the first month so it really does work!

It has been thank god. Done very little but I think I needed a bit of a relaxing day after yesterday! Already a bit nervous for WI on Tuesday, but when are we never worried!

Never thought of that! Oh well, that's my genius plan scrapped! Thanks x

Hi everyone, had the worst day ever yesterday! Electricity went yesterday morning and didn't get it sorted until this morning, so everything in my fridge and freezer is ruined! Then I dropped my very full (of coins) purse in the shop and they spilled everywhere. It took 4 of us a good 3 minutes...

Username Target Remaining Lost Lou 50 42.8 7.2 Ok so with the risk of being pushy (and sorry if I am!), would this format for the list maybe be easier to read/edit? If you's think so I don't mind changing the whole list over to this format. I just think that this list has a huge risk of...

Wow! Well done Jules, that's a fantastic loss! Already 20% of the way to your target!! You're going to smash that target easily!

Thanks girls so happy! On the reward thing, I don't. My first mini goal is to hit 15, so I plan on rewarding myself then with something i'll love. That being said, I'm going out for a family dinner tonight and plan on enjoying it thoroughly and not counting syns, which I know is bad but I...

I added you to the list weddingbelle. Just copy and paste the list to put in changes when you weigh. Or if you're on your phone just put up a post and someone will change it for you. How are you finding SW? I love it. Joined 4 weeks ago and down 17.5lbs so am really happy with it! Good luck...

Hi everyone! Just lost 2.5 this week bringing me to 15st12.5. Delighted to be moving down to this group!

Well I'm down 2.5 which puts me in the 15's. I only posted here once but said I'd say goodbye and hope to see you all soon!

Well done everyone on the losses. And congratulations on the 6st award potato! That's an amazing achievement. I'm down 2.5lbs this week so I'm happy.

On a seperate note, I have an ocd thing about formatting and that list is driving me insane!! Keeps removing the colours and it's driving me crazy!

My 4th weigh in tomorrow and I need to lose more than a pound to get into the 15's. I'm pretty nervous, but have a feeling it won't happen. I'm trying my best to be super good and stay low on syns today, but for some reason I'm craving everything bad for me. Most days are easy on SW, but this is...

I'm awful for eating the whole thing too so ended up giving most of it to my aunt!

Oh and it serves 12 at 3.5 syns a slice.

Went to a friends birthday this evening and they had a bbq. The whole place was full of cake too and I'm proud to say I ate absolutely nothing!! Came home instead and made a slimming world almond and orange drizzle cake which is only 3.5 syns a slice (translated for non SWers...very good for...

Well done on the losses and welcome to the new members...we must be getting close to 50 now!

Hi Jules, yes he absolutely loved it. It was such a nice day and I had him out front on it, he thinks he's the coolest thing! There was some awfully close near collisions with some parked cars though! I ended up going to a bbq birthday party for a friend of mine this evening. Has the little man...

They're an Irish company so I don't know if they're sold in the uk. They're actually quite nice although they don't taste very like sausages! You can definitely taste the spices in them. Well that sandwich and a cup of tea did sort out my headache thank god! Getting my little boy his first...

Oh I love SW chips and so does my little boy so it's great. Well I woke up with an awful headache this morning and feeling a bit sick so I haven't eaten a thing. Sickness has eased off now so I'm going to try make myself a breakfast sandwich using HEXB, lean bacon and slender choice sausages...

Hi Kat, welcome to the forum :) I had just over 7 stone to lose but can empathise with having poor body image. I've been overweight since I was a toddler, except for a brief period after school when I worked in quite a physical job. This forum is great for getting support and tips on. Are you...

True! Duh I'm so blonde sometimes.

That's a brill idea. I'm not really calorie counting though, I've tried that and it drives me insane. That's why I love slimming world! I'll tell you all if we had the energy kids do we'd all be skinny minnies. I'm currently sitting on the couch and my little fella is literally running laps of...

Yeah I'm feeling much better today, thanks. Trying to work out my problem areas and do what I can to prevent further problems so going to make a load of SW spag bol and chop up and par boil chips and then freeze portions for handy dinners on these kinda days.

Oh my god joee, that's such an amazing loss!! Well done! I've realised my downfall is I get very lazy when I'm not having the best day so I'm dedicating tomorrow to cooking a huge SW spag bol and freezing, and I'm gonna make up portions of SW chips too, par boil them and freeze them. Hopefully...

WillpowerWoman, you will drive yourself demented weighing yourself all the time! I know its hard but try just do it once a week. I would bet my 1.5lbs this week that you will not be 18st12 tomorrow at WI. You've just exercised the hell out of your body and it's retaining water to keep hydrated...

Haha I've actually been sitting here on the laptop all night so I don't get bored and go looking for the child's cookies or something. It's crazy how you can be really on plan for days and then out of nowhere one day just knocks you on your behind.

Marypoppins, well done on the aquarobics! I must admit I'm so jealous, the closest "semi" public pool to me is a good 40 minute drive away so I haven't been swimming in years. Even the gyms around here don't have pools! I have to agree with Dolly Rocker on the wedding, you can't go to a wedding...

Linzmain, meet your sister. I had an awful evening so ended up having chinese for dinner. Now all I can seem to think about is bloody chocolate! But I think you're right in getting straight back on the wagon. Trying and failing to remember a quote I saw somewhere that says something like it...

You'll find plenty if you have a look around this forum but off the top of my head I know Velvet Crunch crisps are 4 and mini milky ways are 3.5. I think the small kinder bars are 3.5 as well.

So I was really good all day, fruit for breakfast, omelette for lunch and then BAM, huge row with someone and emotional eating kicks in. Now I've just shared a chicken curry from the chinese for dinner, I didn't weigh it but can only imagine how bad it is :mad: I'm so mad at myself for eating...

I never put too much thought into it. I have the odd day where I have no syns and then some days I go over 15, but mostly I try stick around the 8 - 12 mark.

Well done Aaleigha x

Well done! What an amazing loss x

Hi, welcome to the forum! I'm a newbie here too and to slimming world. Joined 3 weeks ago with just over 7 stone to lose, and I'm already a stone down. You've gotta love SW!

My first goal is to reach 15st. It's 30lbs down from my starting weight but I'm halfway there already. Being at 15st is the last time I felt somewhat comfortable in my own skin, so to be closing in on it feels fantastic!

It's great, isn't it? I love that you can find a syn value for practically anything on here. I was actually recommending it to my group for that very reason! Thanks re the smoking. It was my first serious attempt to quit and it wasn't all that hard, and this is my first really serious attempt to...

Oh that sounds lovely! I'm an absolute fiend for the body shop coconut products. Enjoy x

I kind of wish mine was like that. With mine, you're better off not saying anything haha!

Sorry to hear that Lou, hope he is recover's quickly x

Thanks LoChan, what's funny is that I followed my mum in joining SW and it's her that I'm boring! She has a good bit to lose but isn't overly committed, drinks wine every weekend and isn't losing so I think she takes everything I talk about as nagging.

Thanks Jodes, I am delighted with my losses but I guess I'm just doubting my luck in getting it so quickly!

Garlic & tomato chicken pasta bake. Can't wait for dinner time :)

Maybe for breakfast, a fruit salad with some natural low fat yoghurt? Or even some porridge with sweetener. On the snack front, I struggle with that too but what I do at the minute is buy a bar of chocolate, break it into squares and put them in a sandwich bag in the freezer, then when I want...

Hi Everyone! I'm Lorraine, I don't really know where to start but I've decided to start this diary because I'm only on SW three weeks and I know I'm already boring everyone around me, because all I can seem to think and talk about is slimming world! Also, this is my first serious attempt at...

Well done everyone on the fantastic losses so far! Everyone is doing so well :D I added it up there as I updated the list and as a group we've already lost 77.8lbs altogether!!! That's what we have off already and not everyone has even weighed in yet, how fantastic is that!

I always find that painting my nails a fab colour will make me feel just that little bit better about myself. Also when I'm bored watching TV in the evening I do my nails instead of picking at food. Also, I personally think lashing on a gorgeous smelling body butter after a long shower is one of...

Thanks Jodieboo, I think you may have hit the nail on the head there. Most of the women in group are older than me and have spent a lot of time dieting whereas for me this is my first serious attempt so my body is in total shock.

Hi everyone, I'm 3 weeks into slimming world and at WI tonight am down 1st1lb. Don't know how I've managed to drop that amount so quickly but I'm not complaining! If I lost more than a lb next week it will put me into the 15's so I'm super motivated for this week. The only thing is that no one...

Good luck! Although I'm sure you don't need it, you'll do great! x

Hi! My first time posting here :) down 1.5lbs this week, making the loss 15lbs since I started. Got my stone award too :)

Down 1.5lbs at weigh in tonight! I'm actually shocked because I haven't been well and been on antibiotics which have me tired all the time, so I've had practically no exercise and haven't stopped picking all week. This is a great motivation for me, a great idea and a lovely group of people! Good...

Thank you! Had weigh in tonight and lost 1.5lb, which gave me my 1 stone award! Absolutely delighted with myself :D

Hi everyone, I'm a bit late saying hi here as I joined the site a few days ago, but this is the first time I came into SW forum. I'm loving this diet, lost 13.5lbs in my first two weeks so it must be working!

I want to lose weight for lots of reasons but there are two main ones. The first one is that I have a healthy, happy, active son and I never want to pass my bad eating and exercise habits onto him. The second sounds incredibly vain, but it's very true. I'm a huge lover of fashion and yet...

I couldn't help myself today and weighed myself. No loss yet this week and I weigh in on Tuesday! I haven't been feeling well since Thursday so I've been picking at the wrong foods and haven't been exercising so really need to get the finger out. Personally I just really want half a pound...

Hi Everyone, I know I'm a bit late but I was hoping I could join too? I'm doing Slimming World and losing 50lbs by christmas would be fantastic. I hate to just presume no one minds me joining but I'd rather save someone the effort of adding me so I'll do that myself :) Hope everyone is having...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the replies. Zippygeorgeandben, yes I have set myself smaller targets and realistically, every new stone number and every new dress size will be an achievement. That being said, I've come down with an infection that has me feeling fluey and things have become a bit more...

Hi all, I'm on SW for 2.5 weeks now and I'm loving it. I've been lucky to lose 13.5lbs in the first two weeks so I'm delighted with that. Have been lurking around this forum anonymously since I started it so decided to bite the bullet and register. I think I'm starting to bore everyone around me...
