Really liking "Come And Get Your Love" by Redbone at the moment! :D

So far so good! 2 x Weetabix with skimmed milk & a mug of steaming hot green tea for brunch. Just walked briskly to an appointment (which took me around 40 minutes) and will be walking home again very soon. I'll be consuming yet another mug of green tea when I get back home & probably a banana...

'What Women Want' lol

Hello one and all! Its certainly been a busy year for me! I can only apologise for my lack of posting & keeping in touch! At the moment, I'm currently weighing in at 16 stone exactly. Which, considering I was 18 stone 11 lbs starting, isn't that bad. At the end of June, I asked my lovely...

Hi! Sorry, been a bit busy recently! :-) Not sure how I managed it, but found myself at 16 st 2 lbs!!!!!! I had to double check, so I got off the scales and got back on them, but it was the same result! :-D If I can get below 16 st by the New Year, I'll be on cloud nine!! :-D

Awesome stuff! Well done! Great to hear about your loss! :-) You really are an inspiration! :-) x

-4lbs for me this week, which is a huge relief after last weeks -0.5lb lol :) I am now only 2.5lbs away from being halfway to target! Woop! Woop! :D Big congrats to you all for your losses :) And if you have a STS or a gain this week, don't worry, we start a fresh week today! Clean slate! :)

Despite being horribly offended by the sight of my own flesh, I thought I'd put this pic up to show my progress. 2 stone 0.5lbs in 1 month 3 weeks.

Wooow! Well done Orla & turquatic!! Way to go!! :D And well done to you all! Clearly us Tuesday weighers are a special bunch I think :) Next week, we'll smash it again! :D

Only -0.5 lb loss for me this week, but considering my inactivity and the amount of times I've gone to restaurants, I think that's amazing! :-) Been to the gym 4 times this week, including boxercise! So I don't know... I probably would have put on a fair few lbs without doing that! :-) Just...

Only -0.5 lb loss for me this week, but considering my inactivity and the amount of times I've gone to restaurants, I think that's amazing! :-) Good luck to you all! x

Good luck everyone! I'm not feeling too good, ate out a couple of times again this week, so i'd be happy with any loss, i'd even take a STS :/ haha

Well done to you! Great loss! :)

Thank you so much for your awesome support all the way through this! I'd be lying if I didn't say its contributed towards my determination! :) I'm already falling asleep to be honest, but I'll try and hang on until about 11 if I can :)

Hey! Went pretty well considering, thanks! :) -2.5 lbs this week, even after the unhealthiness! haha! At least it wasn't a +5 lbs like I thought it might be! - Also got my Club10 award and 2 stone award and Slimmer of the Month award! :-) Just come home from my first 'boxercise' session, and...

I too managed to get SOTM and a little certificate :) How awesome! I'll have to aim for that again next month ;) Well done to you all on your great losses! :) Glad to see the tiny half a pound hasn't dented your resolve ginlin :) Hope I'll be just as enthusiastic when I reach target :)

Awesome stuff lishaa! Keep your eyes on that award! Totally achievable by next week! :D Well done!

Only 2.5 lbs off for me this week, but I'm so chuffed with that because I've got my Club 10 award & 2 stone award! :-D Back on track today after my two evenings of eating out this past week :-)

Good luck everyone! :) I ate out on Wednesday & yesterday, so I'm expecting my first ever gain this week! Haha! :) At least I know its coming!

The date went really well, thanks :) Considering it was the first one I'd been on for over 4 years, I wasn't too rusty, lol - we're going to see when we're both available again and will plan our next outing for very soon (probably next week sometime) :) Well, the way I see a STS, and the way our...

A very respectable -5lbs! :) Thank you for asking! This week has seen me 'cheat' for the very first time in 5 and a half weeks though... I went on a date & the place we went (which she chose) pretty much only sold hamburgers and cheeseburgers! So I had a cheeseburger and thought "I'm going to...

Hey guys, yesterday I lost 5lbs, which takes me to 16st 13.5lbs! Hope none of you take it personally when I say I hope I don't come back to this thread anytime soon lol :) All the luck in the world to you on your journeys :)

Awww Kay, don't be too disappointed, you can get rid of that and more by next week :) Don't lose heart! :) Nice one Kevluc1 :)

Really well done for all your losses guys! Love seeing all the happy posts! :) Really glad to see that the STS hasn't dented you lishaa!! As you said, keep going this week and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you step on the scales next week! :D

My bathroom scales showed no change for me this morning, Lauren. Just been weighed in the meeting now and... -5lbs! What the Hell?! Haha! Just have faith! :)

Absolutely dreading tomorrow's weigh-in :( I've had man-flu for most of the week and the weather has been absolutely terrible! Which equates to less trips to the gym and walkies :( Well done on that amazing weight loss last week Orla, hope you have more of the same this week & maybe some of that...

Hi Claz! I started almost 5 weeks ago at 18 stone 11 too :) On Tuesday weigh-in I was down to 17 stone 4.5 lbs. While I don't go swimming (I probably should start!) I do an hour or two in the gym 3 times a week & go for 2-5 miles walks every other evening. Its great to put my headphones in and...

Oh wow!! That's amazing!! :D Huge congrats to you! You should be really proud of yourself for those achievements!! :) I feel rotten today! All those windy, wet, freezing evening walks have caught up with me & I've got a horrible cold :( I won't let it get me down too much though! Still going to...

Ahh yes, I've stumbled upon that thread before! :) Absolutely amazing stuff! She's done so well! I always remember people who have done well if I'm having a tough day or two :) Always gives me that boost to never give up and go for it!!

Looks like everyone is happy this week, as we all should be!! Amazing results from everyone!! :D Tuesday weighers are clearly the best!! :P Good luck for the week ahead. Graciously refuse that slice of cake or biscuit. Resist the temptation to say "one won't hurt me...". And push yourselves...

Thank you so much :D Seeing how well you're doing has definitely inspired me on more than a few occasions! :D We have some bathroom scales that usually weigh me a few pounds under my actual weight, so I might have to pop to Argos at some point and get some new ones. We've had these for about 10...

Well, I'm chuffed to announce that I've lost another 4 lbs :) Which makes my loss so far 20.5 lbs :) Excuse the toplessness lol, but this pic is my progress so far. The left picture is when I started 4 weeks ago (I look pregnant!!), the middle picture is what I looked like 2 weeks ago, and the...

I agree with Orla Kay, don't feel disheartened. You'll lose that and more next week, just keep sticking to plan & you'll see! :) Fantastic stuff Lishaa, you're doing really well! Keep it up! :)

Well, that's -4 lbs for me today :-) I wasn't expecting huge amounts because of the lack of gym, but I'll be heading there straight after group today haha :-) All the best to you guys today! Positive thinking!! x

Feeling pretty down about tomorrow now - haven't been able to get to the gym as often as I'd have liked this week, and I think that'll reflect on the scales tomorrow! :( I've stuck to plan, but haven't done as much exercise as I have been doing in previous weeks. Hitting the gym after weigh-in...

Not feeling to good to be honest, but thats the way I always feel & I've been pleasantly surprised up to now! :)

I've heard so many mixed things about that DVD! :-) Obviously it isn't easy, but did you find it effective? Might need to invest in that too!! :D

The gym was great thank you! Managed over an hour on the cardio stuff and did 20 minutes on the weights :) Then I had beans on wholemeal toast for lunch before going for a long walk for an hour or so :) Feeling good now that I'm managing to exercise again! :) Got a healthy stir fry planned for...

Hey gang, just thought I'd pop up and say hi! :) I started my weight loss journey just over 3 weeks ago, I weighed in at a hefty 18 stone 11. SW and exercise has helped me shed 16.5 lbs of that and now I'm 17 stone 8.5. I can honestly say I've weighed somewhere around the 17 and a half stone...

Thank you so much autumnbabe! :) You're always so lovely! Well I found another gym this evening after shopping around a bit. Managed to find an excellent one for £15 a month, with as many classes as you want added in for free!! I thought that was an amazing price!! :D So I'll be back in the...

So I went for my weigh-in yesterday, and was extremely surprised to see that I'd lost 5.5 lbs! :D This came as a huge shock, because I was feeling like I'd only managed one or two this past week! So that was pretty darn encouraging! :) This morning I made myself ready to go to the gym, but when...

Thanks Orla! :-) Kay, a STS isn't bad! Don't be disheartened! At least it isn't a gain! :D Have you tried mixing up what you eat a bit more to kick start your metabolism? Good luck to everyone who are going to group tonight! Stay positive! :-)

Well, after some trepidation this morning, I've come to group. Stood on the scales praying for that 3 pound loss so I could get my 1 stone sticker.... and I've actually lost 5 and a half pounds!! :-D Good luck to the rest of you today, stay positive & never doubt that you can achieve! :-)...

Best of luck for tomorrow guys! Crossing my fingers and toes for you all! :) I'm praying for a 3 lb loss for myself this week, so I can grab my 1 stone sticker! :D

Thank you so much autumnbabe, always nice to get some encouragement! :) I'm just hoping I can get that stone award on Tuesday! But I'll take any loss to be honest! :) WOW, and let me just say how much of an inspiration you are too! :) Well done! Hope I can achieve how you've achieved!

Thank you so much for your kind words Igg! :) Made myself a lovely SW quiche for my evening meal tonight. I put some broccoli, bacon, onion and mushroom in it, and it was gorgeous! It was my first time trying to make it too, so I'm very pleased with myself. So I had a slice of SW quiche with...

Not feeling good today again! :/ Had two poached eggs on two slices of wholemeal toast & a quarter of a tin of beans for my brekkie. Then while preparing a fruit salad (which I'll use for the next few days), I nibbled a bit on the fruit for my lunch. This evening I've got some salad ready & I'm...

Don't see why not! :) I invested in one about a week ago, one of the best things I've ever bought :)

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark

Despite only having had my cereal, two boiled eggs, several strips of cucumber, 5 baby tomatoes, a small piece of haddock and a handful of grapes today, and having been on a two hour walk around the local lake... I'm not feeling too good about the plan! :confused: I feel like I should be doing...

After losing 11 lbs, I'm now 18 stone 0 lbs :) Hopefully I can slip into the 17's by my next weigh-in on Tuesday!

I look forward to the day I can have my photo taken and not beg the person to delete it! I hate my triple chin and fat neck and moobs! :( But I'm going to stick to plan and one day they will be gone! :)

It's my first Christmas on SW, so my plan is to have a healthy Christmas dinner (plenty of steamed veg, roasties done in the Actifry, skinless turkey breast, etc) and perhaps have a sweetie or two from a tub of Cadbury's Heroes on Xmas Eve, Xmas day & Boxing day as a treat! :)

Welcome to the forums Leigh! This is a great place for support, hints and tips for your journey :-) Everyone is friendly & willing to help you! Snoop around the various threads and take a good look around :-) -Mike

Oh wow! :D What's your secret? SW and exercise? :)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Wow, yeah! You look totally stunning! Huge congratulations!! :) An inspiration!

Great stuff John-Boy! :) Keep going mate, you look so much healthier in that second pic! Can't wait to see what you'll look like at target :)

Wow, awesome Sam! A really inspiration! I'm also aiming to lose 5 stone eventually :-) 11 lbs down so far & I'm determined to do it by the summer! P.S. What a babe! Hehe ^_^

Culture Club

I really want to go & see Linkin Park! They only seem to be doing festivals recently though! Boo :(

Had my cereal and banana, and now I'm off out to the gym for a while! :) I seem to be spending an hour and a half on cardio & half an hour on the weight machines, which is what I'm aiming for at this stage :) I want that stone badge on Tuesday!!

Awesome!! :D Well done you!

I'm around too John-Boy, don't worry! :)

Watermelon :)

Well done kb83, that's a great loss! :) Hope you have a cool birthday!

Since being on SW, I've had Asda Wholegrain Blueberry Wheats cereal with skimmed milk, a banana & a nice cup of green tea to wash it down :) And I'm not getting sick of it surprisingly! ;)

Well done Gwella :) It doesn't matter how long it takes as everyone is different, 2 lbs is great!! Keep it up :D

That's awesome Jebbie! :) Reading back over your last few posts, you definitely sound similar to me! Although I'm losing weight for ME and not for anyone else, I'd still like to hear it from other people! But, I'm only 11 lbs down out of 70, so I've got a long way to go yet :) Keep it up!!

I too can't wait to see you back in that dress Katy! Great that you're giving yourself something to aim for! :)

Thanks lgg, you too! :) We CAN do this! :)

Well done guys, big congrats! :) Heading in the right direction!

Don't be silly hanngun, just stay positive! :) Let us know how you get on!

Welcome to the forums Silver_lining! :) I'm also doing SW and appreciating having the support network Minimins gives me too! :) I wish you nothing but luck!

Hello Poppette, welcome to the forums! :) There's always someone around to offer you a bit of friendly advice and support whenever you need it :) Take a good luck around the forums, there's hundreds of hints and tips here!

Welcome to the forum John! Plenty of friendly people around here who are always willing to offer a helping hand :)

*Gasp* I have a Cineworld about 20 minutes away... and they're playing it! :D Woohoo!! Thanks for the heads up Igg!

Oh wow! I wish they were showing it in this area! That would be pretty darn amazing! :D Hope you have fun!

Thank you Igg :) Long way to go, but I'm in no rush :) It's a change of lifestyle after all! I don't think you can do that overnight & expect it to stick, so I'm in this for the long haul! Loving how much fitter I already feel after losing 11 lbs, can't wait to see how I feel WHEN I reach target! :)

'If You Want It' by little known band called Relient K. There's a line in it that goes somewhere along the lines of: "I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile, 'cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be." which are quite appropriate considering my confidence issues :)

Halloween, the original 1978 version. Yep, I know I'm a couple of days too early, but who cares :D

No, I HealthyB the cereal, HealthyA the milk, and syn the toast instead :) But I guess I could do it the other way around if I wanted. If I have a good evening meal at about 6:30, I'm usually okay until I get to sleep at around midnight, so it's not too bad :) Hoping I can get rid of at least...

Hi Emma, I'm eating cereal in the morning (Asda Wholemeal Blueberry bites with skimmed milk) with a banana, usually scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast and some baked beans for lunch, and my evening meals tend to be something different each night. My favourite at the moment seems to be chicken...

I've just got home after weigh-in, and I'm happy to announce that I've (somehow!) managed to lose 6 lbs this week! :) I realise that the weight tends to come off quickly at the beginning, but I can't help but be happy with myself for losing 11 lbs in my first two weeks :) Healthy/Sensible eating...

Thanks for all your replies guys! Got my weigh in at about 11 tomorrow morning, so I'll be sure to let you know how it goes! :) Hopefully I've dropped at least 2 lbs and grab myself the half a stone badge! hehe :)

Congratulations on all your loses! :D Hope all your good luck rubs off on me tomorrow morning :)

Not sure how I'm feeling at the moment. I've tried sticking to the SW plan as much as I could this week, but I haven't been to the gym as often as I'd like. Feeling kinda bloated too, which can't be good. Weigh-in on Tuesday, and I'm sure I won't have lost anything. My mum seems to think my...

Hello fellow Tuesday-ers! :) Just curious as to what you guys eat on a Monday for your evening meals, and whether you exercise on Mondays or not? Also, do you eat breakfast before going for a weigh-in if your weigh-in is in the morning? :) Thanks

Hello gang, Joined the forums a couple of weeks ago hoping to make some friends and have some support during my 'journey' :) Started SW on the 15th of October 2013 and I lost 5 lbs in my first week. I was quite pleased with that loss, but I would have liked a bit more if I'm honest. However...

You're an inspiration! Well done! :) Hard work and determination certainly pays off!

Welcome to the forums! :)

I think I'll have a read of that too Tracey! I'm also a guy suffering from big self confidence issues :) Helpme!, hang in there buddy :) I'm 18st 6lbs at the moment and I want to get down to 13st 11lbs. WE CAN DO THIS! :)

Xantus :)

Yes! That's correct :) TPBM is awake when they should be asleep by now.

After tonight's performance in Germany, I'm happy to say I'm a Chelsea FC supporter! :)

I'm re-watching Game of Thrones from the first episode, because Spring can't come quickly enough!! :)

'A Simple Plan' is on at the moment. It's such a tragic story :sigh:

Well done for your losses guys! :) My target for next week is to lose at least 2 pounds so I can leave the meeting knowing I'd lost half a stone in the first couple of weeks :) Oh, and because I want a sticker of course! ;)

Thank you guys, and well done to those who have also lost! :) Let's hope this is the start of a successful journey! :)

Just had my first weigh-in, and I've lost 5 pounds :-) Just another 65 to go until target! :-) Good luck everyone! x

Such an inspiration to see people such as yourself succeed in their goals! :) Well done!!

Thanks very much for the warm welcome guys :) You're completely right, its just a matter of changing my lifestyle and sticking with the simple changes I'll be making. Eating less junk, and moving more. It's a simple rule to stick by.... isn't it? :)

I really can't pick! :) But right now its either: 1. Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness (Gervais Remix) 2. Example - All The Wrong Places 3. Jason Derulo - The Other Side

1. Breaking Bad 2. Star Trek 3. Game of Thrones 4. Doctor Who 5. Boardwalk Empire 6. The Walking Dead 7. Hannibal 8. South Park 9. Jackass 10. Family Guy

Hello everyone! My name is Mike, I'm 26, and I'll be starting my weight loss journey this coming Monday. Why Monday? Because that's when my gym membership comes into effect & I'll be attending my very first Slimming World meeting on Tuesday morning. My plan is to attend the gym Mondays...
