Thank you ruby! I normally weigh and keep on track with the girls at work but as I've started a new job, I'm in this alone!! I work late often so I can't make it to sw so me and the girls at my old work have started a whatsapp group that's going to be supporting eachother. We're all on...

Completely fell off the wagon due to some unexpected bad news and a new job that has taken up ALL of my time, but I can't keep letting excuses rule my life so starting fresh in slimming world mode. Slimming world takes a while for me to lose the weight but it's the diet that I've stuck to the...

Congrats on the loss!! Always in the right direction :) Awww hope your mum makes a speedy recovery. Be really nice for you to fly over next year! X

Right so new week and setting myself some goals! My friend at work just weighed (also does sw) and she's put on 4lb after having a few weeks off and she's NOT happy! So we're going to encourage eachother and get back on it!! 1st mini goal- get out of this stone bracket and into the next!!! 5...

I lost 1.5lb!! Well... A bit more than 1.5 but I'm gonna round down! I'm chuffed with that :) It's onwards and upwards now!! X

So Last week I lost 1lb and weigh in tomor morning :) hope it'll be a good one but I did have quite a naughty weekend!! I've been so busy at work and that's usually when I update and go through the diaries so that's why I've been away for a bit! Currently rushing home cause I have stomach...

Subscribing :) you've done so well and congrats on the bubba! X

THIS BLOAT IS UNREAL. I feel like my stomach is about to burst! I just dont understand why SW does this to me.. I've actually eaten less than normal today! Gonna try a peppermint tea now and see what happens...

wow well done on your loss!! :)

subscribing :) i've kinda started SW again after a couple of months break.. debating whether to go back to the class.

So this week has been up and down for me but mostly I have been back on plan. I really need to shift this weight and get back into the swing of things. I'm really curious to see what friday's result will be. Breakfast- Orange & apple Lunch- Spicy pasta dish with a salad- pasta, peppers, chilli...

Strawberries look amazing!! X

Go you!!! You are defo on a roll x

Lunch! + fruit Went for work drinks to say goodbye to some people who are leaving and got quite tipsy!! Ended up going over syns but not toooo bad so gonna pull it back over the week. I didn't have any dinner! Whoops. We all went to a tapas bar and everyone ordered tons of tapas that looked...

I've just gone back a couple of weeks in your diary and seen that you joined SW again. It's obviously really helping you! I am thinking of going back.. but i'm not sure yet. x

Pancakes look lovely! Can i steal the recipe? x

Breakfast! Friday mornings are usually my weigh in day but seeing as I only re-started sw 3 days ago I'm gonna miss it out this morning and have my first weigh in next Friday morning. Also, this bloat is unreal. My stomach is soooo huge!! I'm trying to think that it's a change in diet and...

Pictures of my dinner and dessert! Ended up using my remaining 10 syns on a WW sticky toffee pudding (8.5 syns) and a mini milk (1.5 syns) yum! Dinner has pretty much the same as lunch but with syn free batchelors rice

Thanks bigneacy! I think I was still conscious of what I was eating even if I wasn't on a diet! I did do quite a bit of exercise too because i was doing couch to 5k but I am still shocked that I only gained 2lb! Do you have a diary? x

So update on foods! breakfast: (HEB) 2 x wholemeal toast with melted cheese (HEA), Apple, Orange lunch: Uncle bens savoury chicken rice (under half a packet 1 syn, gammon, sticky chicken (2 syns), salad and vanilla muller light. dinner: BBQ pulled pork (2 syns), SW paprika chips, roasted...

Lunch! Uncle bens savoury chicken rice (under half a packet 1 syn, gammon, sticky chicken (2 syns), salad and vanilla muller light. I AM SOOOO FULL!

Good luck for weigh in hun! I've just come back from a 2 month break so just to catch up are you still weighing every 2 weeks at boots or something different now? x

feeling the bloat too! Not happy! lol x

TMI.... but... I completely forgot about the constipation and bloatedness that comes from being on SW! Does anyone else experience this?? My stomach is like twice the size and I'm normally a very regular person and I've hardly been going at all! I'm also on the green teas and 2L of water...

Ruby.. so easy! 3 tbsp of honey, 3 of balsamic vinegar and 3 of soy sauce. Cut chicken into cubes and marinate for 30 mins in fridge and chuck all in pan till sticky! I fried it with some onions too but such a quick thing to prepare! I can be abit of a grouch about preparing tons of stuff for...

My sticky chicken dinner tonight!

Thanks for the advice! I've recently upped my green tea intake but I'll try that peppermint tea too! Really determined to do this!!! X

I have just read your diary from page 1 till the end for some inspiration! You are doing amazingly well! All your recipes sound lovely and it has given me some ideas :) x

Thanks ruby :) So day 1 went well. I had insatiable hunger but I managed to completely stay on plan. Breakfast: Muller light, Alpen bar, apple, green tea Lunch: Uncle bens chicken savoury rice packet (2.5 syns), Gammon, big salad, watermelon, muller light and 2nd alpen bar. Dinner: Cheese...

Im back :) I weighed last week and i have gained 2lb. From 2 months of being away from here and not really caring that much about the diet.. it's not too bad. I am fully on SW and hoping to move forward!!

Good luck with the exam!! xx

1.5lb off!!! :happy036: Yay! so this means a couple of things: 1. I have successfully got rid of my 4lb gain! 2. I am the lighest I've ever been since starting this weight loss by 1lb! 3. I am 2lb away from my next stone bracket! 4. 5lb away from my next half a stone! (since SW) 5. 1lb away...

Weigh in this morning... Eeeeek. I now do it at work with my work colleagues (they don't see my weight but we document the gain/loss) and its more pressure than doing it at SW! Lol! I know these people... And if they all lose and I don't its really embarrassing lol! So I'm glad for it cause I...

Woooooop! Love your NSV ;) loose 14's is something to be very proud of! X

I had another little look this morning (bad I know but it helps me stay on track!) and the 1lb up it was showing WAS water weight because I was down 0.5lb from my last weigh in so 1.5lb down from yesterday's reading! Hopefully it can continue that way! I've been drinking water like a mofo! ...

LOL at your cat and sleep story! I'm usually the one that says something/does something when i'm sleeping! I haven't ever got up or anything, but I've sorta sat up and woke ben up asking where my jacket was! lol x

Wow that sounds like a very strict day! well done on the willpower :) Bet you'll feel great tomorrow.

I'm feeling optimistic about this week and i haven't felt that way in a while. I had a little look this morning because I like to see where I stand after the weekend (when i'm at my naughtiest!) and see how much damage control i have to do. It was showing 1lb up, but I'm not worried about that...

subscribing! You're doing really well. I was on SW, but recently changed to calorie counting. I love seeing different diets and how people are doing on them! x

I lost 1lb :) happy with that. So it's 0.5lb till I'm back where I was before my off diet 3 week gain! And it's also the first day of bootea for me :) if I'm honest, I'm not very good with herbal tea so I did down some of it but hopefully it grows on me. I feel pretty good right now. I don't...

Wow weight in day tomorrow... It rolls around so quick and yet I feel like the weight takes forever to shift lol! I've taken today as AL from work because I still feel run down and I needed to sleep lots and have a day to myself. I ended up sleeping 12.5 hours lol! I do feel so much better for...

I lost 0.5lb! :) I'm pleasantly surprised with that as I was expecting a STS! I'm hoping that this weekend will sort me out so I can go to the gym everyday next week!

I know exactly how you feel, and Im feeling that way at the moment. I feel like when I'm in the zone of losing weight it's ok, but sometimes ill put something on or look at a mirror when I'm standing a certain way and think "you're still so big" so even tho I'm smaller than I was... I'm still...

Hey :) just caught up with your diary. Congrats on the 1lb off! it's nice to have a little surprise and lose weight when you are just hoping for a STS! Omg.. .6.5stone award! wow! that's amazing :) Love the sound of your honeymoon! Have you been looking into styles of dresses yet? x

Work is driving me insane!!! so busy :( Weigh in day tomorrow... it comes round SO quick doesn't it?! I had such a busy, amazing weekend and I think that may mean my result this week isn't as good as last week. I'm hoping for a STS tbh because I had copious amounts of alcohol as my friends...

I'm 5ft6 :) so very similar! Ooo that will be good! I don't think I follow anyone else on here that has the same weigh in as me! X

2lb off! :) happy with that! 2lb to go to get this gain off, and I'm planning on smashing that next week! Gonna have a treat day today! Then back on it hardcore! I have 10 weeks till my bday and I'd like a stone off! So hopefully I can do that! That's about 1.5 pound a week. I can do this!!! X

Weigh in home this morning! First one since going it alone! Eeeeek! On the bus to work then ill weigh! X

Subscribing! We are around the same weight and we are doing the same thing now. :) how tall are you? OMG well done on the 3lb!!! Kick that weights ass!!! Xx

Bev- thanks hun! I know you recently stopped going SW too so I'm interested in your opinion! I'm gonna keep writing my weight in the SW book I think. I hope I can do this myself! Bexi- welcome to my diary :) do you have one? What diet are you doing? Xx

Thanks for the support guys! You make me feel like I can do this!! Wanted to ask you all that replied, do you ever find yourself being worse because you know you can just weigh at another time if you wanted? Or are you very strict about what you weigh? Aaaaand do you record all your weigh ins?? Xx

Just catching up! Holiday looked lovely :) loved the pics. Well done for getting back on track so quick! I always find it sooo hard after being off the diet for more than 1 or 2 days! Good luck for sunday :) Hopefully it wont be too bad! X

TMI~ and can i just say the PF has not visited in 4 days!!! I feel AWFUL!

Hi guys! I've been away for a while now because I've been MEGA busy with work, then when I get in i'm so tired and often go to bed! I want to start finding a bit more time to use this site though as you all really help me stay on track! Sooo.. I faced the scale last week and put on 4lb :(...

I'm going to weigh in tomorrow morning.. the first one since easter and the 11 days off the diet! Feeling pretty nervous.. and I think that it's not going to be a very good result. I have been sneakily looking at the scales every now and then and the most i've seen is a 5lb gain! EEK. I'm really...

Well done on getting into the 10's!! The day I see that number on the scale will be surreal!! x

Sorry i've been MIA for a while! I was off work for 11 days over the easter weekend :) I had SUCH a good time but whenever i'm off work and let loose my diet goes out the window! I really lose all willpower without a routine! I don't feel guilty though, and I know that I can get back on it and...

Woohoo 6 stone is gone!! Well done :) xxx

I lost 1lb :) pretty happy with that after losing 3lb last week! My mum has come over for the Easter weekend tho so now I'm off plan for a few days. It's ok, ill pull it back after :)

4 stone is a massive achievement! Pictures look great! You look so different! X

Woooow amazing!!!! Well done! Every week you smash it :) x

Well done on the running! I would be so interested in doing that course but my gym doesn't do classes :( boooo. I do the treadmill when I'm at the gym and before I couldn't run for like 30 secs but now I've managed to progress further lol it was annoying on Tuesday tho, I went on the treadmill...

So weigh in tonight!!! I have today off work so I've slept in till 11am and I'm going to have a big SW breakfast and then not eat till SW. I was supposed to go for lunch with my friend but I don't want anything to jeopardise a loss!! 3 lbs last week so I'm not expecting much this week. I'd be...

Ohhhhh I really hope this too. Can't 'like' on the minis phone app but LIKE LIKE LIKE this comment xxx

Ginger- yeah I completely agree that it's about changing eating habits and gaining control. We have control over what we eat and yet sometimes we feel so powerless! X

Thanks Hun, no prob with the posting :) I like to hear from other people. Have you got a diary? X

4lb in 2 weeks is fab! :) I was just looking at the stats in your signature... 10lbs in march!!! that is amazing!!! one month flys by and BOOM you're 10lb lighter! Would love to do that every month ;) x

So recently i've really seen a change in my eating habits and how i think about food. Basically, when I lost weight before when I was 15 (i got to 9 stone something) I wasn't actually trying but I just didn't care about food. Food wasn't a massive part of my life, and I didn't think about food...

OMG my appetite has come back with a vengance! I'm STARVING! MUST...NOT..EAT...CRAP... hahaha.

Thanks girls! I'm so happy today! Yesterday I planned to have a takeaway and bottle of wine after weigh in as a treat, but after that result I was like nooooooooooooooo way!! I'm going to keep going! So I came home and finished up a red day with a cheesy chicken burger in a wholemeal roll and...

I lost 3lb!!!!!!!!! Oh my god, how long have i been waiting for this!!!! I'm over the moon :) So last week and this week I've been at the gym everyday just doing cardio till I burn 300 cal and then eating my calories back to hit around 1200-1400 each day and following SW food and rules...

I know... I am leaning towards calorie counting, but I love knowing I have to go to the group and be weighed and I like when I get the badges n stuff lol. I don't wanna pay £5 to essentially be weighed tho if I'm not following it anymore. Thank you for the snack suggestion! I know 2 hours...

yummmmm @ the chicken burger! You've made me crave that now :) Think I'll have a red day and have a cheesy chicken burger tonight! YUM! Is your weigh in this saturday? also, hows the exercise going?? x

I have a confession to make that this week I have found myself following SW and calorie counting. I know it doesn't really work, but I can't help it! I really struggle to eat tons of pasta or potatoes after working hard all day on not eating anything bad and exercising to then feel like i'm...

Hi :) just read through all your diary. You're doing so well! I'm currently on SW, but looking into calorie counting!

So weigh in last night and I gained 1lb. :( I don't really deserve it because I've been so good this week foodwise and I've been to the gym 4 times. I know it must be something to do with it being * week and all the exercise. My legs are like swollen tree trunks atm. I'm hoping for more next...

subscribing. :) Just read through over half your diary, and will continue later! You have done SO well! SW has not come as easy to me as it seems to come to you! Your diary has given me some determination! x

So I went to the gym and I really liked it! There was hardly anyone there. The machines are really high tech and new and I feel like the time went SO quick! I did 45 mins of exercise and burned 320 cals! It actually made my net of food for the day about 1300, which i'm happy about! I think going...

Can i ask how long you do at the gym when you go, and what you do? I've just joined and i'm still figuring out what suits me, but I like to hear about what other people do! x

You look great! The last stone defo has made a difference!! X

Thanks girls! So positive, I love it! So I went to my induction last night and it was SO good! The instructor really SPOKE to me.. About everything! Diet, weight, cardio, strength. He didn't TELL me what to do or what I should eat, he just advised and listened. He was actually interested in...

Wow 6lbs!!!! No dominos pizza tastes as good as 6lbs off!! Haha x

I had a STS at weigh in! Very chuffed with that after a 6 day binge! It means i can start fresh and move forward and I don't have to get any weight off to get back to where I was! Starting the gym tomo. Got my induction tomorrow at 5pm. I just bought some gym gear today and I'm really looking...

So after my 6 days of bingeing I didn't go to weigh in on Thursday and I'm going tomorrow morning instead. I think I will face a gain but hopefully it won't be as bad as the 3.5lb I saw on thurs! I feel like I overindulged until I was sick of it. I've hardly eaten the past 3 days and that's...

You seem super positive :) I've just joined a gym too! Got my induction on Monday then I can start! Hopefully it'll reboost my weightloss cause I feel like I'm at a standstill! X

Just for reference last thurs was -1lb. Was a bit disappointed because it was 2 weeks worth. I've been off work for the past 6 days and had a massive blowout which I don't regret at all! I overindulged to the point where I am sick of takeaways and alcohol. Feeling positive about moving...

Just catching up! How frustrating with the scales when you made all that effort! Oh well, hopefully means you'll see a big loss next week/this week? Haha :) x

Your attitude is amazing! And you're totally right. Your life does not revolve around the scale. It's all about being happy and living life :) next week it's yours. X

I often get caught up in thinking the scale will reflect my week, but that's not always the case. Weight coming off can take a while.. I heard a quite good expression that made me feel better "Your body does not know its weigh in day" Ever had a maintain/gain and then the next day it's...

Well done :) it's hard swapping groups with the days and times and diff scales. It's moving in the right direction tho :) x

Thank you Hun! My colleague at work started it cause I recommended it, but she did it once then stopped for 3 days and I said I know it's so hard to fit in even tho its only half an hour! When I went hardcore and did it 30 days in a row, it was so difficult to fit it in all the time! So I...

Ok so I didn't go to weigh in last night. I just felt so bloated and horrible and my light lunch that I had planned didn't go so well as subway was shut... So had to get wholemeal roll and tikka pieces but the roll bloated me out even more! I was still full when I got home, and I like to be...

So.. I'm in full swing period symptoms :( bad back, bloat, bad dreams, sooo irritable and moody etc. Really didnt want that this week because I need a booster loss soon or all my motivation will go! I feel like I'm fighting against the bloat and losing!

WOW!!! Amazing Hun! You should post some before and after pics! Bet they would show such a transformation! X

Feeling very very bloated atm! I put on my rings this morning and they felt super tight (when one of them is veryyy loose on me!) and I was thinking that's weird.. Then I was searching about water retention etc and people were saying that they know they're holding weight from big sodium intake...

I'm obsessed with weighing too! I might try and hold off this week though! X

I think you hit the nail on the head with how I'm feeing too. Even tho I've lost some weight and I'm smaller than I was, I'm still big and it gets me down sometimes. I tend to be happy when I'm losing weight and feel good about myself when something fits better or looks better, but then that...

Congrats on your loss!!! That's amazing :) it's nice to know that you can still have losses as big as that, when sometimes it feels like its small ones every week isn't it? X

Ginger- that is so true. Right now I'm glad that I lost what I have and didnt give up, so in a few months I should feel even better. So I STS last night. I feel ok about it, and I've drawn a line under my mood from yesterday. I did eat awfully due to being ill, so I guess I should be glad...

Yeah I do. Trying to have a 100% on plan week this week and hopefully it will bring a nice loss. I haven't lost 2+ since the first two weeks that I started so I'm really focusing on trying to get a loss of around that! X

Thanks ginger, that was a lovely reply! I think you're right about trying to use his comments as a motivator to prove him wrong rather than letting him demotivate me! You have done so well :) I wish I had more weight loss under my belt so I could think "well i've already lost this!" but i guess...

Hi- popping over to sub! I've just read your thread from the beginning! You have had such an amazing weight loss journey! The amounts you lose some weeks is unbelieveable! I struggle to get 1.5lb a week lol! x

I'm having a bad day today in terms of motivation. I have eaten really well today, but a colleague at work was saying how he thinks that people cannot sustain willpower and will always end up putting weight back on... and it just really got to me. I feel really negative, and unmotivated. I can't...

I really don't feel that I've got into my slimming world swing yet even though I've been doing it for about 2 and a half months. If I'm honest I don't think I've stuck entirely to plan for a whole week since I started. There's always a day where I go over syns and its mainly at the weekend. I am...

That's amazing!!! :) x

Good luck tonight! I hope it's what you want :) x

Sunday 2nd march was: Breakfast: strawberries and vanilla yogurt, WW sausage x 2 (1 syn), egg and cheese (HEX) wrap (HEX) Lunch: chicken paella (not sure of syns but app says about 7 and the only thing to syn would be oil) Dinner: spag bowl Snacks: 2 x galaxy caramel mini egg (6 syn) mini...

Thanks for your comments ladies. I really fell off the wagon this weekend because I've been incredibly ill. I literally did not care what I was eating, and it was all takeaways and chocolate. I feel disgusting for it, but I am super ill so I only want what I want. I have a throat and chest...

Amazing!! Weight loss is such an unpredictable thing, but I'm glad it made you happy this week :) x

I lost 0.5lb. I was actually expecting a gain because I'm so bloated right now. Not too sure how I feel about it, but I'm just gonna be straight back on SW now. I'm gonna forget about calories. Here's to a good week! X

Ginger- hey Hun, thanks for the support. I have alot left to lose actually! I have 4 stone and 3.5 lbs left to lose! I started at 5 stone to lose. I feel so bloated and clogged up! Ick. I don't know why it's so bad right now! My tummy is like twice the size! X

As you can see, I started the week really motivated to get a big loss and eat right, but Im just in a mess now and totally confused as to where I am or how I've done this week. I feel like my first mistake was counting calories and trying to do slimming world together. It just doesn't work...

Hi Hun, I now have the 0.5lb rage... You saw from my diary I was losing 0.5lb a week and literally sometimes would have preferred to stay the same because I was hating 0.5 lol! I guess that stopped with me when I stopped doing all the intense exercise... And it completely baffles me too. I hate...

I was really surprised too! My bf took me to see it and when he told me about it i was thinking... ok this is more a film for him than me, but i thought it was amazing! really hard hitting! x (sorry to intrude on your comment haha)

i always feel sooo tired when i'm on! I sleep like i'm in a coma aswell loool. Good luck for tomorrow. Have you ever been to the saturday group before? x

just saw your other comment- I've seen Dallas Buyers Club too which is REALLY intense but amazing. There's been some phenomenal films lately! x

i LOVED the wolf of wall street!! such a great film. Ill be buying it when it comes out on DVD! love leo :heartpump:

Thanks for the support guys! :) I'm in such a motivated mood today after losing 1.5lb last night! I didnt do any exercise last week and ate badly, so i was VERY surprised! I seem to lose more weight when im not exercising! I think watching my calories aswell as doing SW really helped me! So...

I LOST 1.5lb!!!!!!!! What the hell!!!! Thank you body!!!! X

Size 10 must be amazing! X

Weigh in tomorrow! Slightly nervous! I've been so good, sticking to 1200 cal the last few days but my weekend was horrendous! I would LOVE to STS. I will be disappointed with a gain, but what can you do?b

Congrats! How much have you got left to lose till your target? X

Well done! That's fab :) you should defo remember this if you need motivation to pull back a gain/bad week! Two amazing losses in a row and slimmer of the week! X

Haven't been on in a few days! I've been so busy. So on Thursday weigh in I lost 1.5lb!!! :) I was shocked because I lost 1.5 last week and from my diary you can see for a month I was losing only 0.5lb at a time! Anyway...then valentines weekend came. Ben surprised me with the best day ever...

Hi, thanks :) I just cooked jacket potatoes in the oven for about an hour, cut them in half and scooped out the potato out of the skin and mashed in half my cheese allowance in low low cheese spread and bacon pieces then put the mash back in the skin and put my other half of cheese allowance of...

Weigh in tonight! Have no idea how its gonna go! I'm off work today so I've eaten less overall but only just had my lunch when normally I eat at 12 to give me 5 and a half hours before weigh in with no food. Hoping I digest my food before I go to weigh in! Don't want a heavier result just cause...

That's so good! Means you can forget about last week and move forward! It took me all of January to lose my Xmas weight gain so you did really well! X

Omg wow!! Good day for you :)

http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-diary/331356-my-journey-5-stone-slimmer.html there's my diary :) congrats on the loss! woop :)

wow you've done amazing :) you should be proud. how did the book help you? what was different from other books/diets?

Ginger: hey hun, weeks been good in terms of sticking to plan as exercising but in retaining water atm from pushing myself quite hard with the exercise. I'm having two rest days now, so hopefully ill start shedding the water! I realllly hope I see a good result. Even just a pound would make me...

Lol @ the poo fairy! Ive noticed that i have lots of constipation With slimming world! By Wednesday each week I feel awful! My friend who goes with me is the same and even has to eat a tin of prunes to get things going! X

Well done On the zero alcohol! Do you think you feel more bloated because you had fizzy drinks? They always bloat me out! X

Feels soooo naughty, love my SW fry ups!

Subscribing :)

Thanks for the support guys :) had a lovely slimming world fry up this morning consisting of 2 eggs, 2 wholemeal slices, a weight watchers sausage, 2 bacon and some spaghetti hoops. Yummm! Then I did the shred (I've restarted) and I love level 1. It's definitely my favourite out of all 3. It's...

I was doing 5:2 for a while when I was going through my phase of finding the right diet for me. It was hard, but I'd get through the fast days. My downfall would be that I'd overcompensate on the days where I could eat normally, but even when I didn't and on weeks where I did do it properly I...

Also... had my weigh in yesterday and i lost 1.5lb! That is my first decent loss since christmas! All my other losses have been 0.5lb! The only thing i did differently was have a rest day before weigh in! It has really given me a boost and I want to have a great week to see if I can do it...

So... I've finally got to a computer so that i can properly post my shred results! 30 DAY SHRED RESULTS Starting Inches: Finishing Inches: Difference: Bust: 43" 41"...

How long does it take to drive to your work? I'm not sure how long it would take me to walk to mine. It's a 20+ minute drive. Tell me how the walking goes!

Wow! Amazing!!!!

I wish I could incorporate more walking into my day! Unfortunately I work behind a desk all day and my work is too far away for me to walk to! X

Feeling positive about weight loss today. It was my last day of the 30 day shred!!!! I completed it :) I will post my inch loss soon. Been cooking lots of slimming world stuff tonight to take to work! They taste sooo good! I made cottage pie and a potato, onion, bacon and cheese quiche! yum :)...

It is a known fact that you should wait 3-4 days before weighing after going off plan to see the real damage as its water weight and you probably haven't digested all of the food yet, so weighing in the next day is gonna show something worse than what it really is! Remember you have to eat 3,500...

Thank you for being so supportive! If I can maintain this week with all that food, hopefully a week of eating on plan may show a loss! X

So I maintained!!!! I am SO happy! I do not understand in terms of me being good all week and only losing 0.5lb then being horrific and maintaining, but oh well. I didn't want to say before how bad I was because I felt embarrassed and thought I'd gain alot but to explain why a maintain is so...

Sorry to hear about your Grandad Hun :( What an amazing loss. Bet you are proud of yourself x

I haven't updated much this week 'cause I've been veryyyy naughty! My family came down at the weekend and I went off the rails haha. I had such a good time tho, it was definitely worth it! Weigh in tonight and ill see what the damage is... I've still been exercising though and it's my last...

Can't wait to get back into size 14's, bet you're super happy! That's motivation! X

Yeah I really need to keep up with the measurements because they are the only thing keeping me going! I just hated at SW the two weighers said to eachother when I was weighing "oh the slimmer of the week won't be very high this week", and I just thought you don't know how hard some of us are...

Thanks for replying. I never do any exercise so this is the first time I'm learning how my body reacts to it. It just really confuses me that I lost more weight when I wasn't exercising and just being lazy! I have done lots of research now and it seems to be muscles retaining water all over my...

Thanks for the support guys. I went to weigh in and lost 0.5lb again. I didn't leave in a rage this time though because like I said before, I'm gonna ignore the weigh ins until I've finished the 30 day shred and given my body a chance to rest. I'm on day 24 :) I'm expecting to bit another...

I'm feeling more positive today. I know that my weigh in tomorrow will be crap because I've just started level 3 of the shred yesterday and it kicked my ass, so I'm sore everywhere and holding water. The weigh ins during this shred I'm jus going to ignore and wait till ive finished to get a...

Haha your willpower is in full form today! I think it helps if you have time to think about your bad decision because you can then talk yourself out of it. If someone offers you a chocolate you decide then and there, which usually results in eating it! But if you have time to talk yourself round...

Well done on the loss! You can definitely see the finish line! That must be amazing :) x

Congrats on the loss! Being the totm can really ruin my motivation so you're doing really well! X

Woooop bet that definitely turned your day around! X

Nothing puts me in a rage like my weight/weight loss! I'm so fed up today, and I text my consultant for advice and she was not that helpful. I find it hard to stay for the group at the moment cause about 40 new people have joined where its the new year and everyone wants to lose weight so the...

Good luck with weigh in tomorrow. I'm hoping for a better weigh in for both of us this week, better than 0.5 lbs anyway!

I avoided all food and cake at the baby shower! Go me :) I have been seeing a loss on the scales but I don't want to get my hopes up cause both weeks they've been crushed!

Off to my friends baby shower today! I'm not sure if there will be any food, but there will definitely be cake! Going to see how I feel when it gets handed out and syn it if I want some. I'm working on weekly syns this week, but I've never done it before. Has anyone notices a difference if they...

It's hard when you're really tryin isn't it?! I admit that I haven't been on slimming world long enough to know my body and how my losses go (especially since Xmas was in the way!) and I also don't know how my body/weight reacts to exercise because I have never been one for exercising, BUT I...

Subscribing :) your diary is giving me alot of meal ideas! X

I love Alton towers! That is definitely something to look forward to! :)

0.5lb off... I am just so confused right now. A 1lb off last week and 0.5lb this week even though I'm doing the most exercise I've ever done and eating right and did 3 full red days this week...

Weigh in tonight! Eeeeek. My dream loss would be 2.5 lbs because it would put me back to where I was before Xmas and any weight loss after that is a positive. I think that I'm getting so stressed out about small losses atm is because I know I'm not back to where I was before Xmas and so it feels...

Good luck with the interview! X

I'm doing red days at the moment to try and boost my weight loss. Hopefully get in 4 red days before weigh in. I've had such a productive evening, but now I'm absolutely exhausted. I have made a red day speed soup which is cooking in the slow cooker, did the 30 day shred, cleaned my flat and...

Wow, congrats! How long has 6 stone taken you? X

I need 3.8lb loss hahha. How fab! Bet you were really pleased :) x

Good luck with the weigh in Hun :)

I feel abit confused about what I should do. I'm showing a weight gain because I'm exercising everyday and intensely and my muscles are ALWAYS hurting. I joked to Ben that I forgot what it feels like to get up from a chair and it not hurt. I've gotten used to the ache in my muscles. I know it...

Thanks for the positivity! Are you doing slimming world?

I know and now I think of it, I don't know why I was sooo hard on myself. Like you said, it is still a loss! It's not like I went in a had a 2lb gain! I think you're completely right about the muscle repair process. I don't know that much about exercise and what it does to your body because I've...

So I lost 1lb at weigh in. I'm guessing that its partly my totm hormones, but I was NOT happy. I have been trying so hard for ages now. I have been exercising 2-3 times a day when I did NO exercise before and sat at a desk all day... And I had been on plan. It also didnt help that I had not...

I've started listening to beyonces new album while doing the shred and find it much easier to get through. I'm like dancing around the living room before i start haha. It's not just be music, I've become fitter over the days I think. The first day I was a mess and now I still end sweaty and red...

Thank you Hun. I definitely need to break my weight loss into small goals. It's too overwhelming otherwise. At first I think ill concentrate on getting back to where I was before Christmas and go from there. That's 3.5lb! Weigh in tonight so hopefully it will put a dent in that a little bit! I...

I understand totally how you feel. I have just under 5 stone to lose, and the finish line seems SO far away. I will have to take it in small goals to keep myself sane. I don't think the word 'target' exists to me yet lol I've been exercising loads the past week and a bit, eating well & drinking...

Good luck! :)

Wow congrats!!!! That's impressive! 4lb loss seems to be going round atm! I would love to join that at tomorrow's weigh in ;) haha x

Yep it's the mirena! The only other time I've had a random period since getting it was when I started the Atkins diet (this was the start of my weight loss journey a few months ago and was still trying to figure out which diet would suit me). Obviously with atkins you cut out all carbs and I...

Weigh in tomorrow.. I wonder how that's going to go! I have no idea.. I'm normally a serial weigher but I've tried my hardest to stay away from the scale this week. ...TMI... Yesterday I had quite a bad day where I felt really tearful, exhausted, had lots of negative thoughts and couldn't be...

WOW! Congrats :) bet you're over the moon! X

Haha, I weigh in on Thursday so I could pass it back in time :)

A bit of both, but more Stefan! X

Haha I've finished series 4 :) i always wait for them to come on boxset! So waiting for 5! X

Omg congrats on the loss! How amazing! Please pass the luck haha :)

Oh gosh what a crazy day! Yeah my friend had to go to the early baby unit and she said it was horrible because some people were getting bad news. I'm glad everything is ok! Bet that exhausted you tho! X

I feel really good at the moment and I have a cold so that's saying something. I am already planning my next exercise challenge/routine after the 30 day shred! I'm still going strong on both 30 day shred and 30 day squat challenge. Today I did 75 squats and it will be the 6th day of 30 day shred...

I love vamp dairies! What season are you on? X

Went to weigh in this morning and it said I had gained 3.5 lbs over Xmas. I guess that's better than the original 5lb gain I saw on my scales 3 days ago... If I can get 1.5lb off in 3 days then I'm not complaining. I'm also doing the 30 day shred and 30 day squat challenge when I did no exercise...

So this is the 3rd day back on plan! I overindulged way too much over the week of Christmas and I think I gained about 5 lb. I'm hoping that its a lot of water weight and weight that will come off as easy as it went on, but I don't know. Is gaining 5lb possible in a week?? Lol regardless, I had...

Subscribing :)

Congrats on only the 1lb on! That's amazing for Xmas week. Mine will be alot worse haha! X

Hey, Just wanted to come say congrats on your (non) engagement haha! And for losing on Xmas week!!! I'm finally back at work and back on plan! X

So because my normal SW weigh in is on Boxing Day this year they have changed it to Saturday the 28th. I'm abit scared to go to that weigh in because I'm going to be off plan for Xmas day and Boxing Day so that's only 1 full day to pull it back. At least if it wasn't till the next Thursday I'd...

Thanks for subscribing :) I guess with this time of year anything that isn't a gain is a good thing haha. X

I got half a pound off. Better than nothing I guess? It has not helped with me sticking to it over the weekend tho... I have been pretty bad! X

Weigh on tonight! Feel like I'm gonna STS even though this has been the best week of sticking to plan :( I know that I haven't had a full week between weigh ins because I went on Saturday last week and I know I weighed at 9:30am without eating anything whereas on Thursdays I weigh in the evening...

After I'm on a roll where I've been sticking completely to plan for a lot of days in a row, I find it very hard to do things that may break it. It's a good thing for my weight loss, but makes it awkward for me sometimes with plans. For example, yesterday there was a leaving do for one of my...

Wow congrats! You should be so proud :)

Congrats!! X

Good luck a weigh in!! Sounds like you've had a good week. I love the days I feel light. I've been REALLY good the last few days and completely on plan and yet I feel so bloated and heavy :( dunno what's wrong with my body... I hope it's preparing for a big loss! X

Wow you look amazing!! Love the dress! How long has it taken you to lose 5stone? Well done for being straight back on plan after your night out! I probably would have eaten something bad from being hungover lol! X

I am SO determined to get to 10lb loss before Xmas! I've only got 3 lbs to go... But I'm gonna have to give a massive push as Christmas is approaching fast! My boyfriend has agreed he'll diet with me this week, watch portion control and exercise together so I can get to 10lbs. It's my first...

Went to today's weigh in at 9:30am instead. Really wanted to get my weigh in for the week instead of waiting till next Thursday! And the result... I lost 2.5lb!!!! AND earned my half a stone award!!!! Wooop! All in 3 weeks! I'm super proud. I'm 3 lbs off my goal for Xmas. I want to lose 10...

Well done on your loss :) When I start fitting into the size down is when ill feel like I'm making improvement! X

Good luck!

Cannot go to weigh in today as the doctor said im still contagious :( I'm hoping that maybe I could go to the Saturday group.. But it depends if I'm better and also it's at 9:30am. That's very early for me to get up on a Saturday lol! A good thing to it being at 9:30 tho is i can not eat before...

My weigh in is tomorrow. It hasn't been the best week but my scale is showing a 2lb loss so I'm reallllly hoping that's correct. I don't know if I can actually make my weigh in cause I've got conjunctivitis :( I'm just really run down at the moment and its starting to show! I may just do a home...

I really want to go to Prague! Glad you had a lovely time, bet it was extra beautiful because its Christmas time! X

You look amazing! Your starting weight, height and goal weight is exactly the same as mine... so you're making me feel like its possible for me! x

Wow you look amazing :) I am holding out hope that I can get there x

Had my weigh in, 1lb gain. I'm not THAT bothered because I know I gained 3.5 pounds from butlins and got off 2.5 pounds in 3 days. It gives me hope for a good loss next week because I'm not drinking any alcohol this weekend and sticking completely to plan. I was looking at the before and after...

Subscribing :) well done on your loss so far! You make me feel like there's hope for me! X

Just popped over to subscribe! Well done on the loss! I'm gonna have a gain tonight waaaah but this week I'm gonna be SO good! X

Weigh in tonight. I will have a gain from butlins, I just wonder how much. I've been really good the last few days and completely stuck to plan and I have started losing the weight I gained. Lets hope it's not toooo bad. Dee

So I'm back from butlins! Had an amazing time and partied hard! The hotel was brand new and reallly nice. The venue was huge!! I've attached a photo of the hotel, it wouldn't let me attach a photo of the venue for some reason. My mum had a lovely 50th birthday and I'm glad I went :) So down to...

Had my weigh in today with SW.... 5.5 lbs!!! I'm in shock!

Thank you!! Yeah SW does have some flexibility but not too sure how flexible it can be for the days I have coming up lol! X

I feel like that. I feel like I can get obsessed with losing weight and ways to do it. I'm also becoming a serial weigher which is never good! X

I thought I wouldn't enjoy them too and put them off for ages. Then I read them and absolutely loved them! Can't wait to go see it! X

I really want to see the hunger games! Have you read the books? X

Woohoo!!!

So yesterday was good too. I do find this diet super easy if I'm just having a normal day, but I struggle when I'm going out for dinner or going to a party. The weekends are hard too. Not so much food wise, but because I'm always doing something where I'm drinking alcohol! Everyone seems to be...

Thanks teddi!

Good luck :)

Wow can't wait till I get a 2.5 stone award! That will feel great :) bet you're super happy! X

Sooo yesterday I was really good! :) B: muller light yogurt and apple L: wholemeal roll (HE) chicken, small bit of ligjt mayo (0.5) lettuce, cucumber , quavers (4.5 syns), muller light, orange D: pasta with passata, cheese (HE), basil, garlic Dessert: chocolate mini milk (1.5) Snacks...

Such a difference! Congrats!!! :) x

I'm normally a thriller person, but I also like supernatural/sci-fi. Not the biggest romance person unless its a REALLY good story. Always up for any book that's really good, though.

I knew I would suffer over the weekend with sticking to plan :( I really need to get this weekend out of my head now and move forward but I just keep feeling so guilty and thinking about how much I could have lost if I had stuck to plan over the weekend.... I'm also extremely exhausted today...

Well done for your food choices! I've been not entirely on plan this weekend but I've moved my slimming world weigh in to Thursdays now so I hope the damage isn't too bad! Well done for the insanity work out too! I could not do that!!! I'm thinking of starting the 30 day shred Dee x

Any recommendations? X

Wow your hotpot looks amazing! What was in it? X

Just subscribing :) I'm new to SW. I have ibs too and usually alcohol is one of my worst triggers! X

Just woke up with a little bit of a hangover... Hardly ate anything yesterday but had some wine. I really don't want to be disappointed with myself so just gonna keep going on this diet. I'm thinking that a SW full English will sort me out. Ham and cheese omelette, bacon, fried (with one cal...

Hi von, I was doing really well this week, no cheating at all but then the wine was calling my name last night :( i didn't eat very much yesterday, maybe 1000 calories? But really that's not how I should be doing it so that's why I just need to get back on the wagon today and just enjoy that I...

Well done for resisting! What book are you reading? X

Hi, subscribing :) how are you finding doing it by yourself and not going to group? X

Thinking I should set myself a small goal to focus on rather than the big number of 5 stone! I'm thinking 10 pound by Christmas Day. So that's 5 weeks. 2 pound a week should be possible, right? Dee x

Hi, I'm subscribing :) your before and after pics amazing! It must be so good to see the difference ! I've just started SW on Monday so 3 days till my first weigh in! Scary! I've got 5 stone to lose. X

The alcohol is going to be the worst bit for me lol! I'm hoping we have a kitchen so I can try and buy some food to cook and snack on! Has it been easy for the 4 lbs to come back off? X

Subscribing :) will you be doing slimming world type weigh ins at home? X

I'm around the same weight as you and want to lose 70lbs! I've just joined slimming world on Monday so hoping it'll work for me!

About 3 months ago, I had got to the point where i was so tired of looking in the mirror and hating what I looked like. I think that I carry weight well for how heavy I am, and I told myself for a long time that I didn't need to lose weight. Now it has escalated to here and to be where I want to...

Hi, I'm around the same weight as you and the same height. I'm startin this journey too, I have my first weigh in with slimming world on Monday! Scared! It's the easiest diet I've ever been on and I've been on dukan, atkins and 5:2, I just hope it works for me! What are you following atm? X
