Hello! I'm a Sunday weigher! I joined ww two weeks ago. I go to meetings on Sunday mornings. I'm doing filling and healthy with 49 weekly points. Lost 4lbs this week! So 7.5lbs in two weeks and my first 5%! Must update my stats. Good luck!

Well, I am absolutely loving the gym at the moment! I am sore, but it feels good! Have my PT session tonight and I'm going to do another session straight afterwards. Saturday is going to be my rest day! Plan for the day - Red. Breakfast: 35g oats (b), summer fruit and activia yog. Lunch...

Well after being up a and down, but maintaining, I am finally back in the swing of things. It is so wonderful to feel totally in the zone once more. I've now booked a 6 week personal training course at the gym - started last night. Had initial measurements taken so will be able to see progress...

That is absolutely amazing!!! I am so pleased for you. What a boost :-). So, is it another week on 1200 calories again? Had to have an ultrasound yesterday. Had a kidney infection a few weeks ago - it was the first ever one, so my doctor wanted to see if there were any kidney stones. I've...

I felt very old in the class, quite probably the oldest there! I'm almost 44 and most were in their 20's! Keeping fingers crossed for you! I love mfp. It is really easy to log and check. Just need to get better at menu planning now!

Pleased that I'm not the only one then. Down a lb. Which takes me to my profile weight. Not brilliant, but to be honest, I only started in earnest on Saturday. So, will try and reduce the carbs for a week and will see what happens! Went to a spin class last night. First time for 6 months. Not...

Yes! Classes sound really good - I like the idea that exercise is included. Be interesting to hear how it goes. Made it to the gym yesterday - hooray! Managed a 40 minute session and it wasn't too bad at all. We used to go religiously, but have had a difficult few months and all routine...

Hi. I'm new here and like you, go through the same cycle of gaining/losing around 2 stone every year. I've done that consistently since reaching my target weight with slimming world almost 4 years ago. I'm doing this approach to give me flexibility but also to make myself completely aware of my...

Hi, thanks for the reply! How are you finding Rosemary's groups? We don't have one locally. Hopefully you'll lose that stone really quickly :-). So, stuck to food goals really well, however a couple of glasses of wine were consumed at the wedding reception that we went to last night. Must try...

Hello all, I have finally decided to start my calorie counting journey. 3 years ago, I lost 5 stones with slimming world. Great...but I just can't maintain. Each year, I've been through the same cycle of gaining 2 stones and having to lose it again. Tried to restart sw in January, but my heart...

Hi, I've previously been a slimming world devotee, but after reaching target (5 stone loss), gaining 2 stone, reaching target and regaining 2 stone again....I've decided that I need a new approach. I've considered weight watchers before, simply because the apparent flexibility seems to make more...

Big line is now being drawn. ------------------ Ok. So another bad week. Have a kidney infection and have been off work since last Tuesday. Today is the first day that I have felt vaguely normal and still on antibiotics. Meanwhile, I am just continuing getting fatter. So, new start is needed...

Morning! The sun is shining! Makes such a difference. Right - target for the week is to get a decent loss next Thursday. This means 100% focus and everything that I eat will be recorded. I'm feeling excited now! Plan for the day. B: Activia ff yog L: Homemade veg soup T: Homemade burgers...

Well, well. Back to group today and only 1 lb on which is AMAZING considering what has happened over the last month and being so far from plan that I couldn't see it! It may sound weird to be pleased about a gain, but I was imagining 8 lbs at least :-). Looking forward to next week!

Hi! How are you getting on? I've not been around as lost my step-mum suddenly a few weeks ago. Now feeling brave enough to be back. Saw that you lost 2 1/2 lbs, was that last week?

Morning! So, still feeling positive :-). Plan for today: B: 0% fat activitia yog L: Cheese and tomato omelette (cooked yesterday - not sure what it is going to be like warmed up!) T: Chicken and roasted veg. Need to get a HexB in there somewhere! HexA - semi skimmed milk and 1/2 fat cheese...

Hello! I'm definitely back now. What a month. I've been up and down the motorway more in the last few weeks than we have in the last year. This will be my first full week at home and starting to really crave 'normality', although I know that we're going to be up and down for a while yet. Back...

Well I've been AWOL as my step mum unexpectedly passed away in her sleep. The last two weeks have been very sad and to be honest, healthy eating has not happened. Back on the wagon!

Ps. Shame about the risotto :-)

Where has the day gone?! Went for a walk with the dog along the shore this morning. It was lovely and breezy. Just made fake mcdonalds breakfast muffins (I didn't have the muffin, even the children loved them). Plan for the day Breakfast: scrambled egg Lunch: homemade sausage patty, extra lean...

Dresses sound gorgeous! I like the sound of your style! Yeah, we're always cleaning, but I am having the rest of the afternoon on the sofa! X

Sw style brunch. Be good to yourself Cumberland sausages, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, sw chips and homemade syn free ketchup. Stuffed for 1.5 syns :-)

Morning! Mmm that sounds lovely! Let me know how it turns out. Enjoy the cleaning :-). Laundry day for me too. At least the sun is shining here today. x

Cooking again! Beef curry is in the slow cooker, also doing a turkey curry with frozen leftovers :-). Syn free tomato ketchup and Chinese diet coke chicken. Smells gorgeous!

That's brilliant! Well done :-). Good strategy for tonight. Have an great time.

That's a brilliant loss! I do understand the frustration of having put weight back on, but you can do it!

Weight in day! How exciting! Let us know how you get on. Looks as though you've had a really good week though :-).

Morning! Up bright and early this morning, sat in bed bringing myself up to speed with Facebook and mini since 6.30 while hubby is snoring ;-). I've walked home every day this week (3 miles), so will be aiming to maintain this over the weekend. I love walking! My daughter had a friend coming...

I completely understand your reasons, don't put yourself under too much pressure though! Wow! Lots of cleaning! I'm sure that it may have counteracted the additional b choice. Do you have a mini goal in mind? When I first lost 5 stones, my dress size didn't really change until I had lost about...

How was your chilli? One of my favourite things, especially if I can manage to save some as it tastes even better the next day :-D.

Thank you so much! Made me feel a lot better. My hubby got me a monitor yesterday, so I am going to check over the next few days just to reassure myself. You have done so well, so very reassuring! X

Apparently anything over 140/90 equals high blood pressure, so I'm a long way into the 'danger zone'. It may be a one off, but I'm worried about it now and we're going to borrow a blood pressure monitor over the weekend to try and see if it is staying consistently high. How are you getting on? xx

Morning! Well - an eventful few days for me. Went to the doctors on Wednesday, just as I was putting on my coat, she asked if she could take my blood pressure. Anyway, it was amazingly high 187/110. Quite shocked. I've got to go on 24 hour monitoring and then probably on medication. So...it...

I do a mix of all three plans. Have phases of not eating meat, but couldn't commit to being a veggie right now. Had a lovey holiday for my 40th. Took my family, parents and in laws down to Cornwall. Hired a very large house and had a brilliant time. It was perfect for me. Do you have any ideas...

Hi! Welcome! Nice to have more company :-).

Carrot and ginger soup.

Hi, I stopped over three months ago and my skin has finally settled down. Guess it's just part of the process so please don't be deterred. I appreciate that it is rubbish to have them though! Lots of water, really can't recommend that enough. My skin is now glowing and I am back to just using...

Change of plan :-). Back to group on Thursday now and steal and roasted veg for tea. Can't wait!

Sounds yum!! I have tried it once, but didn't like the sauce! Well done on the walk. A friend of mine always tells me to take baby steps and she's right. Keep going, you've done really well. Shame about the decorations. This is the first year that I've felt sad to see them go. Hope all goes...

Thanks! Although these aren't my true stats anymore! Stopped smoking at the end of September and ate a lot to compensate! Think it's more like two stone now! Are you doing extra easy? My main advice would be to be honest with yourself and keep coming here no matter what! The best thing about sw...

Hi there! I originally joined sw to lose weight for my 40th bday and managed to shift 5 stones in 5 months. Unfortunately I'm back again with a bit to lose! How are you finding it? Are you going to group?

I think that you're doing incredibly well - working whilst you are experiencing such anxiety is hard. Have you got a doctors appointment yet? My anxiety was at it's peak three years ago - just before i lost 5 stones. I did a CBT course and it helped enormously. I do think that losing weight...

oh yes! The frequent trips to the toilet are one of the things that I actually look forward too - weird! Trip away was amazing. Lovely family time. Well back at work, could be worse! I like the fact that you stayed in pjs for a whole day! yes, did a fair amount of cooking. Like you...

Back to work tomorrow so posting my food diary now. Rejoining group tomorrow as I desperately need some help and motivation. Will be buying a 12 week countdown. Anyway, less of the negative and more positive! Breakfast: defrosted berries Lunch: carrot and ginger soup Tea: omelette before group...

Subscribing too! Back to group tomorrow and think I've got around 3 stone to lose too! Really need to get back to my normal self soon! You seem very focused :-)

Ham and tomato sw quiche with 'dry' coleslaw. Yum!

How are you feeling now? X

How are you feeling now? Finally back and ready to commit to plan 100%. Not been brilliant at all! So here goes! Did a fair amount of freezer cooking yesterday with more to do later. Tomato soup, veg soup, carrot and ginger soup, ratatouille and vegetable tagine! Back to work tomorrow and...

Hi Kelly! Well done on your decision and good luck with your journey. I'm just starting again, third time lucky! I've lost 5 stone with slimming world three years ago, but now I have 2 stone to lose again. You'll enjoy it here!

Today we're off to Norfolk to stay with family and celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary. My dad, brother and nan will all be there. Staying until Thursday with lots of activities planned including paintball long and skiing. Fun but dangerous!!! I'll be aiming to stay close to plan and then...

Good advice. Thanks!!! Yep, lots of groups which is good in someways! Staying to group is really important so I'd like to get one that I feel comfortable in but also fits in with work.

Sounds great to me! Have you got a diary on here yet?

Joining a new group on Thursday and will buy a 12 week countdown too. Agree that it's much easier that way and I feel even more committed if that makes sense?! No idea what this group is like, but it's really important to get the right one. The last one I went to was really cliquey which didn't...

I think it's a great idea to start early Amanda :-). I'm sure we'll all find success in 2014!

Here to subscribe! Completely understand your reasons. I used to have panic attacks and they started again 2 weeks ago. Almost certain that the cause is not l

Definitely up for it and more than happy to support and encourage :-). Really pleased to have someone to share my journey with! Are you going to a group or from home? X

Hello! I've just reintroduced myself in the newbies section. To cut a long story short, I stopped smoking in October and have put on a massive amount of weight. In 2000, I lost 5 stones on slimming world, so this increase feels dreadful. Alongside the increase in dress size, I feel depressed and...

Hello! Like many others I am back to slimming world, starting today and going to group on Thursday. I will need to update my stats ;-). I stopped smoking on 1 October and since then I have done a lot of comfort eating. All coupled with a very difficult time at work and home. Now feel lethargic...

Ate my own body weight in rubbish yesterday :-(. Needing help now! Never like this usually, but am guessing that there is a link with having become a non-smoker. Ok. Get a grip day. Red Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs Lunch - ham and boiled egg salad Tea - grilled chicken with broccoli and...

Not feeling good. Weigh in this morning and am 2.5lbs heavier than last week. However, I did have major munchies on Sunday, so I'm going to give it another week before I start to really panic. Anyway, on a more positive note, now on to Day 8 and still smokefree. Started to notice some...

Day 7. By the end of today I will have completed a week of being a non-smoker. Munchies got the better of me last night. Don't even want to think about it now. So today is back on plan and looking to the future. Red day. Breakfast-activia snack pot and satsumas Lunch-veg soup Tea-homemade...

And onto day 6. Yesterday was quite tough. Didn't really know what to do with myself, but I am still smoke free. Was incredibly hungry all day yesterday. Made a scan bran Christmas cake and ate the entire thing! Feeling bloated this morning. Another red day. Breakfast - pink grapefruit Lunch...

Day 5 and still smoke free! We did go to the pub last night (and drank a number of syns), but took an ecig with me. No massive cravings so really thrilled with that. Back to no alcohol again now! Really starting to think about my goal weight. When I first hit target (after losing 5 stone), I...

Day 4 and still not smoking! A little on the emotional side today - although I understand that this is normal at this stage. I'm looking forward to reading this back at some point, mainly to remind myself that having gone through the early stages of giving up and the associated 'pain' it is...

Now on to Day 3. A slight empty feeling and feeling a lot more tired than usual, but apart from that..... Dinner last night was absolutely gorgeous! Had some braised chicory too, so that was 7 superfree in one meal. Added to the 6 in my lunch = a good day :-). Am hoping that the reduced...

Day 1 of not smoking completed :-). Very ahppy about that. Went to group tonight - only lost 1/2lb. Weight loss has been incredibly slow, but I am hoping that the 'no alcohol' regime will help me to manage my syn intake. I'll give it one more week and see what happens - especially as I am...

Day 1 of Stoptober! We've decided to also give up alcohol for the month too, so it's going to be fun :-). I've just eaten some melon and pineapple with a cup of hot water and lemon - it's going to be a month of detoxing! Feeling positive so far. Had a double session in the gym last night, 45...

Hi, Just wondered if anyone else is planning on doing Stoptober? I really want this to be my final quit, so hoping to have a buddy to join up with me for this process! I gave up for three months last year - can't even remember why i started again. The worse fear for me is dealing with the...

Right. Time to start doing this properly now. My current weight (as of this morning), is 8st 12lbs. hurrah. At least I have lost some weight. I'm back to group, which is fun, but my main reason for wanting to do this properly is because I am starting Stoptober tomorrow - basically giving up...

Thank you Tina! I do appreciate the comment. It's funny I thought that I knew the plan so well! So, I decided to re-join group last night - not a bad experience at all. Even better when I won the raffle :-). Starting weight is 9st 6.5lbs. My diary for today: Breakfast - greek 0% fat yog with...

Sorry for the quick replies - I'm at work at the moment! Thanks for making me feel so welcome! The meeting is at 7pm, so I'll let you know how it fgoes! My first attempt at a diary is here http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-weight-loss-diaries/325601-new-ww-need-lose-stone.html. (hopefully...

Thanks again for your comments! I got my days wrong (whoops!), so I actually start tonight! There is lots of information on here - absolutely brilliant :-). I've started my food diary now - I'm really impressed with the flexibility. You've all done so well!

Hi, I'm brand new here and starting today, although my first meeting isn't until tonight! Having previously been a SW girl (and lost 5 stones), I'm now a stone heavier and need to take action now! So, I've always thought that WW would be a good option for maintenance, so I'm going to give it a...

Thank you for such a brilliant reply! I'm going to give it a shot tonight. Thanks again.

Hi, I'm really considering WW. I lost 5 stone on SW and have reached target twice - the biggest problem for me is the fact that I can't seem to maintain on SW (as at target, I find it too restrictive) and I'm back again a stone over my target weight. It might not seem like a lot, but it is when...

Day Two. Absolute disaster with the attempt at veggie burgers - just a bowl of mush! Oh well. TRX was hard, but an hour well spent in the gym. I go with my husband and neither of us could lift our arms afterwards! Breakfast: Sachet of oats so simple, kiwi and blueberries Lunch: Egg salad...

Hi, Just saying hello as I've just introduced myself too! That's a great weight loss so far! How are you finding it? I know it works as I reached target three years ago! I just have a battle with maintaining! Good luck on your journey.

Hello Diary. As I'm now a stone heavier than I used to be, but 4 stone lighter than when I joined Slimming World, I feel as though it is the right time to make a conscious effort to ensure that this is a change for life. :wave_cry: So, I'm doing Slimming World from home and with a brand new gym...

Hi All, I'm a slimming world returner! I originally lost 5 stone, 3 years ago, but now I'm a stone over my target weight. So I've decided to get on the straight and narrow now, before it get's out of hand. I'll be doing it from home as I stopped enjoying classes. I'm currently into the second...
