Best of luck with your weigh in tomorrow xx

Hiya, well done on your loss, 6.5 in the first week is amazing, some boost for you! I'm down 3lbs, would have liked more but I've found since I hit my mid-40's, I definitely lose it slower than I used to. However that was without a step of exercise as I've a sore back at the minute. I've set...

That's so weird, I've literally logged on this morning for the first time in 3 years, read over my previous posts and am so annoyed that I am practically the same weight as I was when I started on Minimins! I started SW again on Monday, I'm off to Croatia in 8 weeks so looks like we both have a...

Yes I have to say planning ahead is the main thing, I normally do one big shop per week and plan everything in advance. I'm not working today so just had my fruit, yoghurt and 28g shredded wheat (I count out 13) and am making large salad for lunch. Hope your week is good, let me know how you get...

Hi Kayla, I'm weighing in at 214 at the moment, I'm officially 11 pound heavier than this time last year, I had my gallbladder out on 19 June last year and was 203. Had been on a very low fat diet waiting for my op so when I was able to eat again, up went the weight again I'm fed up with not...

Fell off the wagon last week so back on track today, I didn't weigh myself this morning, I'll wait till next Monday. Had two Alpen light bars for breakfast with a banana, had an apple at break time and lunch was a salad with a chicken breast. Have a Muller Light Yoghurt in work with me in case I...

Ugh, feeling very bloated today, think I need to ease up on the fruit and little, had a lot of melon at lunch time and felt very bloated and parpy all afternoon lol, just as well I'm in a room on my own eh? Had beef stew for dinner with potatoes and broccoli and didn't bother with my usual choc...

Hi Carol, I'm actually finding the loss very slow this time around, I've just started my fourth week yesterday and my scales only show a 6lb loss. I always had a good loss the first few weeks and I am definitely sticking to plan and counting my syns correctly but the scales isn't reflecting my...

Last attempt didn't go too well and weighed myself end April and was up to 218lb so enough was enough! I'm three weeks in and have half a stone gone so am very happy with that. It's amazing even when you've a lot to lose, even 7 pounds makes a difference to how you feel, I feel so much better...

Ah thanks guys, the support is great, looking forward to the company along the way xx

Hi guys, I'm a do it at home girl but I've been fairly bad lately. Have started and re-started quite a bit. Started again last Monday and had a sneaky weigh on Friday, normally I'd lose about 4lb by then so was annoyed when I only saw 2 gone. So what did I do? Broke it over weekend and the 2 I...

Wow, have just seen your pics in your signature, you look amazing, what a transformation!! Congrats, you must be so proud xx :553:

Day three of first week, doing well, tucking into an Alpen light bar and a cuppa at the moment, have a tuna salad for lunch and have just pear, banana and some melon with me too. I had fish and tons of veg on Monday for dinner, it was gorgeous, stew last night and have chicken planned for...

I found fruit really curbed my sweet tooth, I might just eat two or three pieces and day but it definitely made me stop craving chocolate. What's lovely and long lasting is frozen grapes, pop some in a dish and take them out when you're doing your essays, because they're cold, I tend to nibble...

I remember long before I started SW meeting up with two old work colleagues for a few drinks. One of them wasn't drinking and when we asked why she said she was doing this diet called Slimming World and had lost nearly two stone, in fairness she looked great. That was the end of the drink...

Hi ladies, I've subscribed to this thread, I'm starting again tomorrow, I've fallen off the wagon a few times, haven't we all!! Lost a stone in 2012 then gave it up, joined again and lost about nine pounds and then bloody gave up again and the nine went back up. I'm starting tomorrow at 15.4lbs...

God, I can't believe I just totally gave up, I'm so annoyed with myself. I'm up to 15.4 now, back to what I was when I started this time around. Lent started today so I'm off all chocolate and crisps, that should help!! I'm a Monday starter so will take it handy for next few days, no stuffing...

God, I haven't been online in what feels like forever, haven't been sticking to plan at all. Haven't been too bad food wise so all is not lost yet!! Dealing with some changes in work, found out I'm being put on a three day week, timing couldn't be worse with Christmas around the corner...

Not having good week, will really have to try to get back on track. Again!!

Had an STS this week but was happy with that as my sneaky weigh in during the week showed a gain!! What a weekend!! I didn't stick to plan since about last Wednesday but in fairness I didn't go too overboard either. Then, Saturday night I was staying over in a friends house. I brought in a...

This thread is hilarious, I've never read so much about farting in my life! Pity we couldn't shed a few ounces every time we let one off, I'd be 8 stone by now haha!!

Most have two varieties, you'd nearly know by the price, I always ask for round steak mince, it's the leanest and most expensive!

Didn't realise how much it made, I've enough to fill half my freezer! Having a bad few days, not sticking to plan at all so actually looking forward to getting back to work on Monday, I find it much easier when I'm away from the kitchen. Heading to my friends house this evening and...

Didn't have the best two days so have a huge pot of superspeed soup cooking on the hob right now, hoping it might help me get a good loss next week, it smells gorgeous. Given the amount of beans and lentils in it, I may not emerge from the bathroom until the following week!!

Cooking this right now in a big huge pot, smells delicious! Got two packs of Pour and Store bags so can freeze it in those and that's lunch sorted for work next week :-)

Congrats Vicky, that's a fantastic loss! The girlies talking about becoming slimming buddies, maybe one of you should start a slimming world diary on the diary page, be a good way for you both to keep in close touch and help each other along. Best of luck xx

Oh absolutely, I couldn't do without my few treats but as you can see from my post above, I messed up a bit today so here's hoping I haven't done too much damage!

Actually think I'd be happy maintaining myself this week, I had a sneaky weigh this morning and I was 1.5lb heavier than my weigh in on Monday so now I'm thinking I was only down 3 because I was dehydrated after having the few drinks on Sunday night and maybe it wasn't a proper loss at all...

As I said earlier in the thread, I did WW for years and in fairness I did lose three stone but I would pick SW hands down, as Jeniferous said, this is a lifestyle thing, I found once I got used to the programme, I knew exactly what I could and couldn't eat without constant referral to a book or...

I weigh in Monday mornings so was down 3lb yesterday, very happy with that. Got on my treadmill today for the first time in months, I'm just so lazy! Did 20 minutes of fairly fast walking, I've a bit of a cold so my breathing wasn't great! When do you weigh in?

And me! I've thrown out so many jeans and trousers over the years because of them wearing away at the seams, it's so annoying. I can't even comfortably wear a loose skirt in the summer without making sure I won't have much walking to do in it because if I do, my bare thighs will rub together and...

Yep, it was definitely the fruit with me but thankfully it's not as bad now! Funny you should say that about the sugar, I find the opposite, I find the fruit is giving me my sugar fix and I don't crave sugary things at all.

Good day today, went up to Tesco and saw this lovely deep purple top - my favourite colour. I'm usually a size 18 but I decided to get the 16 and keep it up until it fitted me, no point in getting the 18 and it being too big shortly on me! Brought it home and tried it on and it fitted me...

Survived the Halloween party, and whilst I did have a few drinks, some cupcakes, few snacks etc, I had my weigh in this morning and have a wonderful 3lb gone, woo hoo!!! That's 8lb gone in two weeks and 20lbs altogether (counting what I lost last year). I'm nicely down in the 14's now, good...

Wow that's a fantastic loss, congratulations!!! I've been 12 stone before, I was a lovely size 14, that's my final goal. I see from your ticker you've two thirds of your goal achieved, that must be a great feeling! I stayed at home most of today due to bad weather and managed to stay on...

Welcome to the beauty of Slimming World! I remember reading the free seven days menu on their website and thinking "no way can I lose weight eating that much" Wrong!! It's all about the way you cook your food and filling up on the right stuff. Enjoy, it's a fantastic programme, wait till your...

Everyone is different, I've a friend doing it and she swears by the classes, she'd never stick it otherwise but I much prefer doing it myself, I just like staying private about it (well apart from being on here!). Maybe give class a try and see what you think of it, you needn't continue if it's...

I got my scales in Lidl years ago and it's brilliant, it's digital and really accurate, I tend to weigh myself, reset it, weigh myself again and it's always the same, to a tenth of a pound. Of course if I ever get up on a scales and I'm lighter on it, my scales is immediately wrong haha

My willpower, at the moment, is coming from just visualising what I'll look like and how easy it will be to get nice clothes xx

Did a big shop this evening, loads of fruit and veg and got various ingredients so I can start making some nice recipes for dinner next week, nom nom. Had scrambled eggs, tomatoes and bacon medallions for tea followed by an orange. Hubby watching rugby now so I decided to come on here for a...

Hi stilltoowide, you are doing absolutely brilliantly, my God, you've lost nearly two stone in 6 weeks, - that's bloody amazing!!!! I honestly believe it's all about the meal planning and you seem to have that on track! Stick with it, I think you are great and I've no doubt that the more weight...

Give us a tune there Kimberly, I could do with it on a Friday afternoon in work :D :D

I really want a ticker but I can't remember which thread I saw the instructions on :( Can anyone help??

Just realised that I'm finishing up work today for a weeks holidays for my kids mid-term, that generally means finding it harder to stick to plan when I'm at home!! The plus side is, being at home for the week means I can put a bit of time into dinners, I've been reading the SW magazine and the...

I'll be a sexy devil next year!! The hard work will definitely pay off, you'll probably have a good loss next week, wait and see! xx

Hi CreamPuff, I tend to be very like you. I lost my first stone between August and October of 2012 and then just stopped (with another three stone to go). Anyone that would talk about it, I'd be saying "SW is brilliant, I lost a stone on it" but I couldn't understand why I wouldn't go back onto...

Welcome newbies, some great threads on here for you to get loads of help and information and more importantly, support from all of us who are in exactly the same boat xx

Haven't managed to log on since Monday, aarrgghh, just busy days and nights!! I'm have a good week thank God, no hiccups at all, I keep my breakfast the same, it's usually cereal, skimmed milk and a banana. Break time is a cuppa and either an apple or a Benefit Bar (3 syns). I bring my lunch to...

Thanks Laura, a good start is always helpful, you know it's going to slow down after a few weeks so it's nice to get a good loss in the first week or two!! xx

I've fallen off the wagon so many times I've concussion!! Welcome back on track x

Best of luck ladies, it's a fantastic programme, you will be amazed at how much you can eat, it'll take a little while to get used to it, especially if you've previously done WW. You'll eat better than you've ever done and there is great support here.

To the newbies, I've just finished my first week and lost 5lb, stick with it, Slimming World works!!!

Aarrgghh, no syn free chocolate bars??? :eek: Still though, it did make me read the post so.........result!! :D

This sounds gorgeous, I'm definitely going to try it. My slow cooker only does beef stew at the moment so some different ideas for the winter are lovely!

Exactly!!! ;)

Okay so got over my first weekend. I always find the weekends hardest don't you? At least in work I've certain food with me and can only eat that so no temptation to look through presses or the fridge to see what's there!! Anyway, I can't say I stuck to the diet over the weekend as I had lunch...

Love that signature comment you have, it's so true x

I find I generally lose every two weeks, used to really frustrate me but I just figured that's the way my body is, I'd rather lost every two weeks than not lose at all.

All I can say is I'm very grateful I'm in a room on my own, I think if I had anyone in with me, I'd be after poisoning them!! *parp* :D

"Sure if I could lose weight by talking about it, I'd be on a Trocaire Box by now" "I think I'll hang out outside the hospital and see could I catch that winter vomiting bug, I'd lose stones in no time" "Shop in Bennetton? Sure the only things that fit me there are the scarves". A few of the...

OMG, this is me, huge bum shelf, I actually feel so relieved seeing someone putting that in writing haha! Do you find then that because you have a bum shelf, when you buy jeans or trousers to fit the rest of your body, you've a gap down the back of them that you could fit a week's shopping into...

Totally with you on that one, I love that skinny jeans with knee high boots look. I have the jeans though they are a size 18 but I cant get them tight enough around my calves to wear nice boots over them. I constantly think about how all these lovely fashion trends are passing me by and if I...

I answered the same question on another thread yesterday, it will pass, it's all the fruit and veg and fibre, my poor body doesn't know what's hit it!

See, there you have it, you were so damn sexy with the two stone gone, he couldn't keep his hands off you :p Welcome to the newbie gang and good luck!!

I find all the fruit keeps everything moving along lol, but I was constipated at the very start, think it's just the shock to the system!! It should subside, try high fibre foods in the morning, pears are good too, not to mention the trusty cup of coffee!! ;)

I have to literally not look at the scales in the morning when I go into the bathroom, I'm terrible for "I'll just have a quick look". It could be only two days into a diet and up I get, devastated then if I don't see a loss. So now what I do is, weekly weigh in (I'm doing it solo at home)...

Got myself the Aldi Benefit bars this morning after seeing them on your list, 3 syns is very good for something sweet with a cuppa!! :)

It can definitely be expensive alright, I remember when I started first (I started last year, lost a stone and then gave up, do'h!), it was expensive buying all the store cupboard ingredients, all the spices, passata etc. etc. but once you have them, most of them last quite a while. Keeping the...

I generally stick to a Curly Wurly every night, 6 syns. If I want something savoury, I count out 21 of those Special K Crisp thingys, it's 94 calories for the 21 so that's 5 syns. If I'm craving something sweet with my 11o'clock cuppa, I have the individual pack of the Lotus biscuits, they're...

Great, thanks a million for that :)

Loads explained here, thanks!! Actually, nothing to do with SW itself but had no idea how you all got these moving pictures and SW awards underneath your posts, I thought I was computer savvy until now!!! No idea how you get the tickers either, they're very cool to measure loss, can anyone tell...

Yes definitely, when I started it for the first time last year, my stomach was bloated, ahem, I was "windy" etc., didn't feel great at all. It passed after a few weeks, I think it was all the fruit with me so hang in there, it will pass (no pun intended :D)

Did WW for years, felt very weird starting SW, took a while to get used to it but I find SW absolutely brilliant, it's not really restrictive at all, well provided you don't eat free foods just for the sake of it! SW all the way :-)

Hi all, starting on this website today, am doing SW from home, lost one stone in eight weeks this time last year but stupidly gave it up. Didn't put it back up but need to get the rest gone. Times of classes don't suit me so that's why I'm doing it myself, I got the books from my cousin. I do...

Tried all the usual ones too, Slimming World is definitely the best, you can eat so much on it, it's great :-)

Hi everyone, I'm not Twiggy (obviously lol or I wouldn't be here!), I'm from Ireland. Lost a stone last year doing Slimming World but for some stupid reason, I stopped doing it! The weight didn't go back up but I need to lose more, about three stone more so here goes again, hopefully this time...
