Yes all was well but I hated leaving them. Have to admit to not being particularly brilliant over the weekend so once I've got weighed in tomorrow I will start again with a vengeance. Hope you're doing ok.

Thank you. We are all positive & it's not all doom & gloom but we would lie a better year this year & that why I'm trying to do something to make it happen for me. Help & advice along the way would be great. Xxx :) Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That's OK. It will be a sort of break & it's the breakfast I'm worried about. They've had a good break over Christmas but she didn't want to go today & I didn't want her to go either. Still we have the weekend before things go back to normal. Something else in common; a Rob in the family!! X...

Thanks; I'll do my best. We're off to Jo's (though we are staying in a Holiday Inn). She had so much to take back that she left Ethan with us and so we're taking him home, but we've managed to gain an extra grandson to take with us!! :D The thing is that once we leave on Sunday she'll have...

It's amazing how we get out of doing work work!! Sounds like you're doing well eating wise. It's sometimes hard to find syns without eating something that starts you craving again. I sometimes don't have syns because of this and I know I should have some. What's your favourite syns? xx

Hope the motorbike arrived!! Sounds exiting. You'll feel better when you get back to work and back in the swing of things. Good luck. xx

I may be being stupid but how do you go about subscribing? Do you just go to someone's post? I really should get around to reading all the instructions!! xx

Hi Betty Why do our bodies not get rid of the fat from where we want it too first? I think I'm in proportion until I look at my tummy, hips and bum!!! Ha Ha One day it we'll know the answer. xx

Am struggling a bit with the healthy shop as I'm away for the weekend so won't be doing any until next week. However, will do it with a vengeance come Monday. Great that you're both so motivated. Hope the week goes well. x

I'm away from tomorrow until Sunday and out with family during that time, so that will be my trickiest time; will have to have 'pretend' wine too, or maybe just diet coke and pretend it's got a brandy in there!! :confused:

Well yesterday was a good day. No alcohol and on track food wise. Thought I might have a problem when I went back to work today but luckily all the chocolates and biscuits had been eaten by others earlier in the week. I've had tea but I'm sat here craving something, but not sure what; will...

Hi Chrissie Looks like you had a good day yesterday. I'm still not fully back in the swing of things but then I think that's because I know I'm going away this weekend; I could do better I'm sure but I'm trying to keep the syns to a minimum to make sure I have some in hand. Hope today has...

Looks like a great food day Cookie. x

Good luck to you too. You just have to have your head in the right place. Is your husband in the services? I'm sure that you can do something within 37 days; and counting! :)

Hi Jackie Yes, there's a lot going on but we'll get through. Want to try and concentrate on losing some weight and then doing things for them will be easier. Good luck to you too.

Thanks everyone. I'm more than pleased your happy to have me here. I'll let you know how it's going from time to time. Xxx Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well as you will know from past experience it will be whatever it is so we just keep each other going. Lily has really given him something to keep going for so that's positive. It must have been quite frightening for you whilst your hubby was going through it & I'm not sure that you will feel...

I'm happy to join you on this. I haven't had a drink today & think it will kick start my new eating regime. Here's to a dry January. Xx Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Good luck for tomorrow Joanne. I'm going to make sure that anything in the office is given to someone who wants it first thing then the temptation is gone. The chillie looks really good. Need to get my magazines & recipe books out again. Good luck too for your weigh in tomorrow. Xxx Sent...

All sound really good resolutions. Mine are: to plan meals then I don't get fed up with the same meals; do a nail technician course because everyone says I do my nails really well but I've no qualification if I wanted to do it as an extra job; go horse riding again, it's ages since I've...

Today has gone quite well thanks. I will be better when I've been free food shopping & I am away from Friday till Sunday so I will have to watch myself then in order to stay on plan, but I'll try my best. Xx Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi David Welcome to the site. I only joined myself a couple of days ago and have found it very inspiring. Everyone is so helpful so I'm sure you'll soon find your way around. Good luck for 2014

Yes, I'm finding lots of things that will help and advise and I've started my own diary which will hopefully keep me focused. 2014 really is going to be my year; hope it's yours too. Thanks for replying and pointing me in the right direction. xx

Yes, feeling positive myself and wanting to hit my target by my birthday in July so that's just over 7 months in which to do it. It will be hard as I know my own weaknesses but I'll just have to work on them. Have found lots of help on the site already so sure that I'll get lots of...

How much are we talking about when you say a LOT to lose? I've 2 1/2 stone maybe 3 stone to lose so is that enough? It's a lot to me as I've been trying to lose it for a while now.

Hi Tracy, Will take a look at WEMITTS sounds like it might be helpful. Thanks. xx

Glad you found my diary and look forward to keeping in touch and encouraging each other. We WILL lose it this year!!

Hi Chrissie Thanks for your words of encouragement. Rob is not good at the moment. Jo, my daughter, Rob, Ethan, 5 and Lily, 5 months have been staying with us over the Christmas period; they're going home tomorrow. Rob started with headaches in June last year which got worse and eventually Jo...

Don't know about the Chinese; I don't see why they shouldn't but if you don't ask, you don't get, I was always told, so give it a go and see. Had a pretty up and down year myself last year; who didn't, but 2014 IS going to be the year I get to goal!! Consultants are normally pretty go if you...

Have been doing Slimming World for 3 1/2 years and when I've stuck to it I've done really well but I had a bad year last year and didn't stick to it so hence I'm now heavier at the start of this year than I was last New Year. I have all the books and most of us, I would think, have access to...

I tend to keep away from photos but I had my daughter take some on Christmas day so that I have something to compare with, but also to give me the kick that I needed to put me back on track. Having free foods available in the best thing to do as it's when we're most week that we just go for...

That would more than do me. :)

I'm Rita and for as long as I can remember I seem to have been on a diet of one kind or another. I've probably done just about every diet there is on the planet. I wasn't always fat; I was very slim when I was young but having had 4 children and not losing the weight in between (my fault) I...

Hi Chrissie Sounds like you had a great night without going mad and the sys are well within range. No hangover and able to choose what you want for breakfast, because you're making it; you should feel pretty good. Weighed myself this morning and was more than I wanted to be, but that's all...

I'm a bit like that too; sometimes weighing myself every morning in the hope that just a few ounces will have disappeared. I must try not to do that this year; if I could leave it to a few days or even all week I would think that's a triumph. It sounds very much like you're determined and...

Hi Betty You won't have been the only one to have a blow out yesterday and so many of us will have been having some thinking time, reviewing last year and deciding what to do this year. I spent so much time last year just phaffing about with my eating that I actually weigh more this New Year...

Thanks Dazd1970. I'm sure I will work all this out soon. Rita :)

Happy New Year Sammie, Would love to follow you this year. I'm making a new start today and will probably start a diary too. Good luck for the year. Rita :new_year:

Hi Cookie Good luck with your weight loss this year and what a lovely baby hope you're friend is fine this morning. Rita :new_year:

Hi Do I post my start weight anywhere or do I just let you know how much I've lost each week? Do I post my weight loss here each week too? Sorry to be unsure but I'm a newbie and not quite sure where everything is just yet. Happy New Year & Good Luck to everyone on the January Challenge...

Thanks Chrissie I downloaded the app too last night so am ready to go. Got weighed this morning and there were no surprises; weighed more than I wanted too. Starting from today, but am away for the weekend so will have to have my head on right to make sure I make wise choices. Am looking to...

That's great. I've decided that I'll only buy good clothes as they will fit better & therefore look better & that should boost my confidence too. Rita :) Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks I will. Quite looking forward to starting the year & stopping my old way of eating. Good luck everyone. Rita :) Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Happy New Year & thanks. I've been finding my way round the site over the last day or so & do intend starting a diary today. Weigh in when I get up & will go from there. I'm kinda excited but also apprehensive!! Rita :) Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I totally agree. This has to be a way of life not a diet. My intention from today is to eat fresh food s & keep away from the processed food. To do this I need to sit & plan my meals better than I have been doing & make them appealing. Then I'll want to eat them & therefore lose the weight...

Happy New Year. Well done on having a great party without all the nibbly bits; you're an inspiration already & 2014 has hardly started. Love your New Year's resolutions. I've not written mine down yet. Still sat in bed thinking about them & waiting till I'm up & have weighed myself; won't that...

Happy New Year to you to. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure that there's not many people who haven't put weight on over the Christmas period. I, for one an dreading getting on the scales this morning. 2 lbs is not bad at all, though I understand your disappointment at not having done...

Hi Bev No diary as yet; just getting used to the site and looking at what there is, but will set one up very shortly. It will be great to follow you and get to know you better; I'm sure you can give me lots of advice. Have a lovely New Year!! :new_year:Rita

Hi I'm a newbie on the site and as it looks like you have been on the site for a while so just wondered if you could point me in the direction of the best threads to look at. I'm starting anew in 2014; I've done Slimming World before but needed to get myself in the right frame of mind. Any...

Hi Betty Love the determination that's coming through in your post. You can't do anything about what's gone on before but you certainly can from now on and there seems to be many of us around at the site. We are all in the same boat and aiming for 2014 to be the year that we make a big...

Hi Bev Good luck for this year. You certainly aren't on your own setting goals and preparing for the New Year. Hope to see you around on the site giving and getting lots of encouragement. Rita

Hi Chrissie I know just how you feel. Have messed around with my weight over the last couple of years so am starting afresh in 2014. I've set my start date as next Monday as I'm away this weekend but will try to be 'good' as much as possible. I'll be back at Slimming World next Wednesday and...

Hi I'm a newbie and won't actually be starting my official weigh at group until Wednesday 8th January but would love to join in. My aim would be to lose 4 lbs in January. This is a great idea and will hopefully keep me focused. :scale: :talk017:

Hi Everyone Looks like we're all in the same boat. Been there, done it, worn the t-shirt!! Ha Ha. I've been to just about every slimming group in my lifetime but really do feel that I'm in the right frame of mind to make 2014 the year I get to goal. Good luck to you all, and I'm sure we'll...

Hi Everyone Newbie here!! I've done lots of diets during my lifetime but the best I've found is Slimming World; it works for me when I'm in the right frame of mind, but I suppose you could say that about any 'diet'. I've had an up and down 2013 with lots of 'bad' things happening but also...
