I lost half a pound at weigh in yesterday, taking me to 11st 13.5lbs :) It's good to join you all!

Thanks for doing this, Daz! I think my weigh in from last week has been missed, though - could you please add a 2.5lb loss for me last week? :)

Can't make it to my normal Saturday morning weigh in this week, so had to go this afternoon - dropped 0.5lbs. It makes next week a long one, though! Gives me plenty of time for a great loss next weekend :)

I wasn't expecting a loss this week, as I had to go to an afternoon weigh in earlier in the week than usual - but I managed half a pound. This means I'm leaving you all! See you in the 11s :)

I lost half a pound in today's weigh in. Could you please update me? :)

Really pleased with my weigh in this morning - 2.5lbs off! Could someone please update the list for me? :)

I gained half a pound last week, which wasn't as much as I expected - with the recent hot weather, I've been lazy and buying lunches instead of cooking. Back into the habit this week, though!

1.5 off this week, taking me to 12st6.5 - I've finally passed the 12 and a half mark! :)

You're looking at a 38lb loss in 3 months, which is almost 3lb a week - which is quite a steep loss. Give it a go - but don't be discouraged if your losses are a little slower. In 3 months, I'm sure you'll have made great progress! Would you like to join the challenge? How much do you want to...

Congrats! :)

Please be careful with this - it can lead to an eating disorder, and could be considered a disordered activity in itself :(

I ended up going to whittards and getting some chocolate caramel coffee to fulfil my craving instead... The DE stuff doesn't appear to be stocked anywhere in my area!

I take a multivitamin with iron, but it's not really for weight loss.

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water!

Honk!

I'll be weighing on Thursday afternoon. Hoping for a good one this week :) First day of logging food and activity has gone well - 90 minutes of walking today! It's amazing how it all adds up.

I'll be weighing in on an afternoon this week, instead of the morning - does anyone find that this dramatically impacts the result they get?

My local decent sized Tesco don't seem to stock it :( They didn't even have a space for it on the shelf! I walk past 2 small ones on the way home, so I might pop in to check if they have it.

Oooh, I might pick some up tomorrow if Tesco still has any - I'm a fan of Hazelnut coffee anyway, and I've missed the taste of caramel since I started losing weight.

Same as usual for me today: 40g All Bran, ~130mls skim milk, 2x Light Laughing Cow triangles.

The challenge begins tomorrow - good luck everyone! I weighed in at 12st 8lb yesterday, so I'll be aiming for 12st 0lb by the end of the month :)

Still, I find it difficult to throw away the skin sometimes... Our consultant told us to remove skin after - and specifically said not to remove it before cooking to stop it drying out (which is presumably down to her personal preference).

My partner and I like to treat ourselves to a nice roast dinner and wine on a Sunday (the pork belly is in the oven as we speak!), which we don't usually count syns on - it's certainly an improvement from a few months ago where we would pig out on cakes and sweets most evenings! Because we plan...

I would like to reach 12st0lb in July - requiring a loss of 8lb. I'm also going to log my food and activity every day. I've added eiregal and bethmaj to the list too :) bethmaj - 10lbs (0 lost 10 to go) - walk for at least 30 minutes each day. Camplestar - 14lbs (0 lost 14 to go) - look good...

I used to use ground almonds to thicken curries when I was on low carb.

[double post]

I will try this this week, and report back :)

Boiled egg, all-bran and skim milk, strawberries and apple :) I'm not a fan of eggs fried in Fry-light, though - the taste and texture seems off.

Adding LittleHippo :) angelajane - 7lbs (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) Becky7777 4lbs (0lb lost 4lb to go) Constantlydizzy 8lbs (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) Cookie7lbs 7lb (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) corrin87 7lbs (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) Danni 2lb (0lbs lost 2lbs to go) Flabtofit 5lb (0lbs lost 5lbs to go)...

Cheese scones with butter...

Don't be discouraged - you are still 8lb lighter than when you started! Hormones can cause you to retain water, especially in the middle of your period. Keep food optimising, keeping active, and I'm sure you'll have another great result next week

Make sure that 1/3 of your plate is superfree, and you should be absolutely fine!

I'm on Extra Easy. In the last 2 weeks I've been making a big batch of lentil curry (lots of peppers, tomato, onion, spices etc) and rice on a Sunday and bring portions to work throughout the week to heat up in the microwave. It's tasty, cheap and easy to prepare :)

I agree completely. The biggest difference I've noticed since I started SW is my attitude to food - not my appetite.

Looks like the total loss reported so far is around 223.25lb. That is AMAZING! Well done everyone :)

I've added myself below - I'd like to lose 8lbs in July :) angelajane - 7lbs (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) Becky7777 4lbs (0lb lost 4lb to go) Constantlydizzy 8lbs (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) Cookie7lbs 7lb (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) corrin87 7lbs (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) Danni 2lb (0lbs lost 2lbs to go)...

3.5 down this week - taking me to 12st8lbs. I'm so close to the 12 and a half stone mark that I can taste it! :)

I lost 3.5 pounds, got my 1 stone award, and Slimmer of the Week :)

I'm moving house in a few weeks, so decided to have a wardrobe clear out. Some of my old clothes (which I didn't it when I started losing) now it perfectly! I feel hugely motivated - because I'm not yet at the stage where I can see a difference in the morror, but now I know that it's making a...

Decided to deliver a letter by hand on my lunch-break instead of getting a lift after work - took an hour in total. Saved valuable after work time, and got some extra walking in!

A year ago, I decided that I wouldn't use the lifts at my work any more - and I've taken the stairs every day since. It still tires me out sometimes (4 floors from my locker to my desk - multiple times a day), but these things add up!

The important thing is that you find a kind of exercise which you enjoy - regardless of whether it is cardio or strength. I think you should consider both cardio and strength training - the benefits of both combined can make a huge difference to how you feel, and can speed up the weight loss...

I always have a stock of the chicken pieces and mince - as they're really handy to pull out of the freezer to put in a stir fry or chili at short notice. In response to the OP, I'm pretty sure I've heard that CSPI are just some sort of vegan pressure group - they object to the use of eggs in...

I'm just about to start "Red Plenty" by Francis Spufford - all I know about it is that it's centered on the Soviet Union.

Ah, I was wondering what to do with my leftover coconut oil since I started losing weight! I used to eat a lot of it, but since it no-longer suits the way I'm eating, I'll give it a go and see if my stretch marks improve :)

Yes, I think it's possible. I quit about 3.5 years ago, and I consider myself a non-smoker. I don't have cravings, and the smell/sight of other people smoking doesn't make me miss it. I think the important thing is to get right back on the wagon after a slip-up - not to think "well, I'll smoke...

I find that walking can really get my heartrate going, if I'm somewhere hilly. It can really feel the benefit of it, without having to take up running or jogging :)

Fern Gully!

Well done everyone! Keep going! :) This book really helped my mindset when I quit - I'll never look back!

In terms of being nervous exercising in front of strangers, remember: everyone is concentrating on their own work out - no-one will be judging you. I often feel the same though - sometimes you just have to power through and get on with it. Good luck!

It's amazing how much easier it is to keep the house clean if you tidy up after yourself throughout the day, and spend 10/20 minutes a day cleaning instead of having major afternoon-long sessions!

My weight has been increasing by about half a stone each year since I left university (sedentary office job, and a sweet tooth) - I want to lose weight so that I can feel comfortable being more active (swimming without feeling self conscious, running without increased stress on my joints...

I'll be getting the keys to my very first allotment some time in the next week or so - though there will be a lot of weed-clearing to do before I can think about planting anything - it's been unused for the last 2 years, and the weeds are almost a meter high in some places! I'm really excited to...

Fruit/veg shop from the market this morning: 2x red peppers 1.5lbs red onion 1.5lbs red grapes Bunch of bananas 2 bunches of spring onion 1/2lb mushrooms 1.5lbs carrots A punnet of plums Big chunk of ginger 3 cucumbers In total, it came to £8.75. I love my local market!

I'm not sure what it is about the Slimming World plan, but I know that I feel a lot less guilty about what I eat - compared with previous "diets" I've tried. It feels a lot more sustainable (although I'm only 4 weeks in).

Hi, I'm new here! I joined Slimming World at the end of May, and I've lost 12lbs so far. I think that the food plan is having a really good impact on the way I feel about food :)

Did a 2 hour hike around the woods near my house yesterday - still feeling it in my legs today!

I would like to join this challenge! I'll aim to lose 16lbs, which would take me to the 2 stone lost award :)

Joining you guys today, as I'm finally in the 12s! Weighed in at 12st 11.5lbs this week :)

I managed to lose 4.5lbs this week! I've been going to Slimming World for 4 weeks, and I've lost a total of 12lbs. I'm really pleased :)
