Eugh. Gained 1lb. TOTM & craving carbs left right & centre. Not a good week. Need to get back on the wagon fast. Need an event to lose for, random dates don't work for me as motivation.

Week 23 Update Gain 1lb Deflated. Unmotivated. Depressed. Need I go on? 2lbs gained in 2 weeks, after weeks of STS. Ready to jump ship.

Thanks Nat, TOTM next week, but doesn't normally effect my losses too much. Think I might just need to crank up the exercise & shake up my meal plans a bit. May have hit my peak with what I'm doing so far.

I don't follow EE, I do red/green plans.

Week 22 Update Gain 1lb Gutted. Been really good this week. Think I'm at a plateau where I need to work much harder now :(

+1lb. Gutted. Been so good this week. Think I'm at a plateau where I need to work much harder now :(

Week 21 Update Loss: -3lbs -3lbs and back on track. Had a tough week at work! (For those of you that teach, we've had special visitors today & tomorrow!!) so have been snacking rather than eating.... But pleased to be back down to 9st. Now to continue my losses and get back on the wagon properly!

Don't even get me started on the MIL.... Lol.

Haven't got time to reply individually right now but wanted to let you all know I'm very thankful for all your responses and it's definitely given me something to think about. Much of your advice has been tried and tested already, but I think I need to stick at it rather than giving up to please...

Thanks diamonds, i do miss the compliments!!

Thanks ladies. :-) Need to get a grip & get back on the wagon!

I keep a food diary which does help. My freezer is full of stuff I don't use, need to tackle that.

Thanks Beckie, have really struggled this last month and haven't lost anything for a few weeks, STS or a small gain. Desperate to get back on track.

I'm struggling in general the last few weeks. 10lbs from target & have completely hit a brick wall :( Got a party tomorrow night and a birthday meal the weekend after, need to be reeeeeally good & low on syns in the week to try & make an impact. Got so much going on in my life ATM that SW...

Completely agree with the above, great advice. Personally, I take a sandwich or salad, but that's what works for me (& what most people at my place do).

Thanks. I tried this too, but was unsuccessful. I just feel fed up when they don't fit, rather than spurred on lol. :-(

Hi everyone, I know there is another thread on this, because in commented on it myself lol, but I can't seem to find it. Re-started SW in Jan and have lost 1st 7lbs so far (accounting 2 holidays and a birthday in that stretch, I'm not doing toooo bad). I'm currently finding it really hard to...

New target date for long term goal is 03/08/14 - my parents vow renewal. Thats 10lbs away and 9 weeks. COMPLETELY ACHIEVABLE. I really truly do need to stick to plan. I'd like to reach 9st again by next WI(-3lbs) and then my next mini goal by July 26th (-4lbs in 7 weeks), as me and OH are off...

Week 20 Update Gain: +2lbs Eugh. I was dreading this weigh in. After approx 1 month of off and on (but mostly off) plan I have gained 3lbs since my holiday. It could be worse.... I have tried really hard these last couple of days to get back on the wagon and have got back into the swing of it...

Eugh. I was dreading this weigh in. After approx 1 month of off and on (but mostly off) plan I have gained 3lbs. It could be worse.... I have tried really hard these last couple of days to get back on the wagon and have got back into the swing of it. I just need to keep it up. Now, i'm off to...

I've been meaning to find out more about the fakeaways. Are they predominantly EE or can you use on red/green?

We all have to enjoy ourselves now & again!

I lost 6lbs in first week and then 3lbs for next few. Now I look at about 1-2lbs depending on if I've been good. Totem affects people in different ways, but yeah, don't always take as a true reading.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a 'night off'......if you deprive yourself then you'll start to crave more or resent. I don't always gorge after WI, but I often have a treat night (every 2-3 weeks). It helps me to keep on track in between. If I only fancy a little treat, then I syn...

Hi, I'm 5ft2 also and whilst I began SW weighin in at over 10st, I am now in your boat... 9st 4 with about a stone to go. What I will say is that whilst SW will work for you, the less overweight you are, the slower your losses may be. Stick at it and that stone will soon be gone :)

Cottage pie with carrot and suede topping is nice. Any kind of meat and veg combo works, I sometimes have potatoes as heb, or sometimes just pile on the veg! The SW big daddy burger is nice, I don't have it with a bun, just on its own with salad (again, carbs optional) Chicken and bacon salad...

Use the recipes section on here and on SW site, there are some great ideas. I drop onto red days when I feel bloated and don't always find the ideas flow that well. Here's what I had today.... B- Alpen light bar (heb1) Snack: fruit and fat free yoghurt L: ham and cheese (hea1) salad (plus...

My next goal is to get back on plan! Since getting back from my hol 1 month ago (holiday being my original target date), I've lost all incentive and been majorly off plan. Goal: set new target date, get back on track for the rest of this week.

I agree with the delay aspect, sometimes it can be the week before catching up with you & you might not see the benefits of your good week until next WI. I also read somewhere about the importance of syns. Some people find that cutting them out/saving them up works for them. Others find that...

When I try to keep costs down I buy a load of veg on offer/reduced and make a HUGE batch of soup that freeze in portions, that can last the week or keep for longer. Same with meats, if you can cook large batches and freeze it can work out cheaper over, say, 2 weeks than 2 separate weekly shops.

Welcome slim! And good luck with your new journey back on the wagon.

Oh my goodness I have been so rubbish since being back from my holiday. I HAVE been weighing in and HAVE been trying to stick to plan but have been VERY unsuccessful. I think i have gained about 3-4lbs since i last posted. it has been hard because H2B has changed jobs and all our routines...

Week 19 Update STS Still finding it hard, not even recorded any meals for the last 2 weeks. H2B is in between jobs, money is tight, I never know if I'm cooking for 1 or 2. Completely fallen off the wagon & haven't the strength to get back on. Cried at weigh in tonight, didn't even do that last...

STS, but still struggling to stick to plan... Still finding it hard, not even recorded any meals for the last 2 weeks. H2B is in between jobs, money is tight, I never know if I'm cooking for 1 or 2. Completely fallen off the wagon & haven't the strength to get back on. Cried at weigh in...

Week 18 Update Gain: +1lb Not surprised. Have hardly stuck to plan at all this last week. Need to find my motivation again, and fast!!

+1lb Not surprised but still gutted. Can't seem to stick to plan any more :(

I had this convo with my hubby not so long ago. He used to follow SW with me, but stopped due to boredom & the fact he didn't need to (initially did it to support me....). Now, he doesn't bat an eyelid when I tell him my losses, or my gains. He brings me cakes as treats & looks disappointed when...

Ok having gone past my original target date (was 4lbs off meeting target weight!) I have now lost motivation and have not stuck to plan at all for the last 4 days :( Having a holiday, with my skinny sister in laws, was a massive incentive and having lost 1st 8lbs before I went I am now undoing...

Know there are various May Challenges for losing so many lbs this month, but wondered if any one had any different ones? I'm going to try a no-carbs month & stick to red days for a weight loss boost. Also going to try a new LBT gym class every Tuesday this month.

We'll done Nat! Cutting sugar is haaaaaard. I've def cut down but not 100% sugar free yet! Lol.

Hi projectp, what plan are you following? I do red/green & find that cutting carbs helps boost my loss, so when I want to lose a bit more, I stick to mostly/all red days for a week.

Week 17 Update Loss: -4lbs! Holiday weight gone and an extra 1lb as a bonus! And I'm now down into the next stone! Yippee. Incentive to get back on track after my holiday (had forgotten how much I loved food!)

-4lbs! Holiday weight gone & and an extra 1lb as a bonus! And I'm now down into the next stone! Yippee. Incentive to get back on track after my holiday (had forgotten how much I loved food!)

Post-Holiday Update Just wanted to log my post-2-week-holiday weigh in that I did today... +3lbs Which, considering I've been off-diet for 2 weeks (I gained that in ONE week in Paris) I don't think is too bad. I was I'll for 4 of the 9 days we were abroad though! Lol. I will weigh in on...

Hi ladies! I know it's not Weds yet, but wanted to log my post-2-week-holiday weigh in that I did today... +3lbs Which, considering I've been off-diet for 2 weeks (I gained that in ONE week in Paris) I don't think is too bad. I was I'll for 4 of the 9 days we were abroad though! Lol. I will...

Thanks for your help!

Pre-Holiday Update So, here's my early final weigh in before the holiday tomorrow..... No loss, STS. Completely expected, haven't stuck to plan much since Wed..... Oops. I'm happy with my weight, although am 4-7lbs off from where I wanted to be for this date. See you in 2weeks for my...

So, here's my early final weigh in before the holiday tomorrow..... No loss, STS. Completely expected, haven't stuck to plan much since Wed..... Oops. I'm happy with my weight, although am 4-7lbs off from where I wanted to be for this date. See you in 2weeks for my post-holiday weigh in! Eeeek!

Thanks. I assumed there was already a thread, but it won't show up on my app :(

O, I'm jetting off to sunny Mexico on Tuesday and have successfully lost 22lbs for the occasion. I don't plan to stick to SW whilst I'm away (all inclusive) but will try to choose healthy options where I can and avoid snacking. My downfall is most likely to be alcohol. What are the best drinks...

Haha, oh for the enthusiasm of the first few weeks! SW falafel sounds nice? Recipe? :)

I will definitely be back on it after the holiday.... I'll gain half a stone while I'm there! Minimum!

Lost 1lb, which is better than nothing I suppose. Out for dinner twice in the next 4 days :-/ and 5 days til my holiday/target date..... I'm 4lbs away from where I wanted to be..... Think I'll probs gain 1lb before we fly though rather than lose any more :( Good luck for WI. Some weeks it's...

Lol, I didn't weigh myself straight after honeymoon. Took an extra week for me to face it!

Just reiterating others, but defo spend some time creating some 'to hand' syn free or low syn snacks. Veggie sticks ready in fridge, or a frittata to nibble on. Fruit & yoghurt made up ready? I find that when u want a quick fix, if you haven't got to prepare it then your more likely to take your...

Enjoy your last few days of freedom definitely, but in the mean time I'd swat up on which plan will work best for you, have a look for some recipes on here & in the mags and make sure your fridge/cupboards are good to go from Monday! Good luck! Sounds cliché but after trying many a diet, SW is...

Thanks Nat! If I lose just another 1lb in the next few days I'll be happy as that put me in the next stone bracket below!! Out for dinner tomorrow night AND Sat though..... Just remembered. :( probably end up gaining now before I go!

I find I go through phases. I'm really good for a few days & then cave for a couple, but the thought of weigh in always puts me back on track, or if I STS. Someone suggested to me having carrot sticks etc at the ready for snacking etc but sometimes only sweet things will suffice. I try not to...

Week 14 Update Loss: 1lb -1lb this week. Not the 3 I've been aiming for, but had a bad weekend so to be expected. Also puts me at my 2nd mini goal, so nothing to be dismissed. 5 days til target date, and I know I won't hit my weight (would need to lose 4lbs next week) but I am certainly very...

-1lb this week. Not the 3 I've been aiming for, but had a bad weekend so to be expected. Also puts me at my 2nd mini goal, so nothing to be dismissed. 5 days til target date, and I know I won't hit my weight (Still 7lbs to go, or even 4lb to my final mini goal isn't likely) but I am certainly...

Had a bad day today. Was good for breakfast and lunch but then had a bad afternoon at work and it coincided with someone bringing in cake, biscuits and mini eggs for their bday.....noooops. Had my super free soup for tea & fruit with yoghurt. But I'm so disappointed with myself. Weigh in...

I'd be interested to see what others have been advised on this. My group says you shouldn't save syns as you should even them out across the week to aid weightloss and not binge. But, I know others who are told to look at syns as a weekly total, not a daily total....

Made a tomato super free soup tonight (mainly chopped toms, carrot & onion). Tasted ok. Going to freeze it all for days where I need something quick & may be tempted to fall off the wagon!

I find it really hard to have 2/3 super free.... I just don't really like a lot of the food or can't afford to buy a lot of it (why is fresh food so expensive? Another discussion......) I'd love to try the soup, will try and find it and make a big batch!

I'm doing home slimming, but only because my work doesn't allow me to commit to a group. I do ok though! Personally I do red/green, as I've done it before and know it inside out, which was best for starting it on my own, at home. EE is supposed to be easy though & fits into every day life well.

What's success express? Don't know of any boost ideas! Gimme gimme! Need lots of tips and strategies....1 week to go and 5lbs off target (& probably gained this weekend too!)

I don't count dieting as part of a holiday. Yes, I try to make sensible choices where I can..... But holidays are to relax from the stresses of work & to be enjoyed. You can jump straight back on the wagon and be extra good when you come back. Holidays are for letting go a bit. For me anyway.

What a yummy idea! I usually just have one (or 2 if I'm having a long day) on its own for brekkie, but will def think about mixing it with some yoghurt on the days I'm not scoffing it on my way out of the door!

I don't tend to count syns in alcohol, but I just record it as 'LOADS' in my food diary syns section lol. I don't drink every week, or is would go about it differently. I count it as a bad day when I do, as often it's when I'm eating out too, and get back on the wagon (diet, not AA lol) the next...

Welcome and good luck! What plan are you following? Are you joining a class/group or home slimming?

I'm forever having off-diet days (unplanned) and feeling awful about it and then feeling like I might as well give up. But, if u give up just because of one bad week, you'd never lose anything at all. The way I see it is, if I've had a bad day or week, I'm extra good to make up for it. If I STS...

Hi Rosie, I too have had a baaaaaad weekend! One week til my holiday and target date so getting back on it BIG time as of tomorrow! Have been to tesco and got all the right foods in, made myself a sandwich and fruit salad for work tomorrow and planned my dinners for the rest of the week.

I'm not able to meet this time, as I discovered the post too late & already have plans. But thanks!

Yeah, I saw that one. Think Sheff was just a one-off meeting place as it was accessible/central to those invited. I was more thinking it would be useful to share info locally.

Mine do too, but always just round up or down hehe. Lazy.

Thanks Nat, well done on your loss this week too! I see you use decimal lbs like some others on here, have considered doing that myself since my weight loss has started to slow.

Also, just realised, that puts me at a 1 and a half stone loss since New Year's Day!

Week 13 Update Loss: 3lbs Ecstatic that I've finally lost a decent amount again! I'm now on my 10th day of red days so maybe the cut in carbs is kicking it. Definitely feeling slimmer and less bloated AND someone at work commented on my weightless on Monday! 1lb away from my second mini goal...

I always keep my scales in the same place, I just leave them out in the bathroom.

Lost 3lbs! Ecstatic! 1lb away from next mini goal and only 5lbs away from target!!! (Although my target date is in lik 12 days, but we'll forget that minor detail....) Also, that puts me at the 1 and a half stone mark after 3 months on SW!

Can you get the plates for original/green plans though? I've only ever seen them for EE where they are split into thirds. Someone has suggested I could use the SE approach and have 1/3 meat/carbs as appropriate to plan that day and then 1/3 free and 1/3 super free.

I've been advised that the syn recommendation is there to aid the weight loss. Your body needs to process fats and sugars to keep your metabolism at a certain peak. I've found I lost the most weight sticking to 8-10syns a day.

Glad the be of service :) I also reward myself with new clothes.... I often actually just need them once I've lost a bit!

Princess I used to calories count on MFP before trying SW again....combining the two could be an option for the future (I already keep a food diary, so if I transfer it to FP it wouldn't be much hassle.) Lickthelid I love that diet plate! Have seen them online when I've been looking at SW...

Sounds delicious, do you serve it as it is or is it best served with a side?

We'll done Kate, always feels good to hit a milestone!

Hi! I'm also a home slimmer as can't afford the classes.....here are my top tips! *i plan a 'diet free' night once a mth, sometimes twice. Helps give me an incentive to stay good in between. *use this site for motivation & support, recipe ideas etc. *trying new recipes stops boredom & means...

I agree hexe, food prices are a major factor! Since doing SW my weekly shop has got more expensive & I've had to budget much more for it. You can feed a family for a week for £10 on ready meals & frozen foods. I spend that just in the fruit & veg aisle these days. I agree that being overweight...

I'm so glad others have commented on not noticing it! All I've noticed is my boobs are smaller! When will I look in the mirror and be happy with what I see?...who knows! Signs of weight loss... *Feel less bloated in general *Dropped a cup size *Bras now fit and don't rub/dig in *Put an extra...

Hineveryone, Just saw another post about people meeting up, sharing local tips in their area and thought it would be nice for anyone in/around Sheffield to do the same? Sharing general tips and recipes Advice on slimming friendly local eateries Weigh in and groups to attend So just to...

I just struggle as I work long hrs and hubby works even longer, so I snack on free or super free when I get home whilst waiting for him and then eat together and then if he has a desert etc then I snack on free again. Hmmmmph. in fact, I just find dieting and cooking for someone not on the diet...

The speed soup sounds tasty! My problem is I'm trying to diet alongside a husband who isn't and can't afford to be buying/cooking 2 different menus. So I tend to stick to red/green standard meals and I take the carbs/meat as appropriate for whatever I'm cooking for us. Hubby is really fussy...

Thanks lickthelid. I was aware there would be limits, but wasn't sure if they were stricter than just using my common sense! Some me days I could just eat and eat and eat, no matter how many super free and free foods I shovel down me!

Hi everyone, Looking for a little advice on portion sizes, as my weight loss is slowing down and I'm looking for tips and advice on speeding it back up again (2 weeks until my holiday and 8lbs to lose!) Technically, free foods are free, but surely there is a limit to them? Surely on a red day...

Thanks for all the messages guys. I think I was having a rough day (work aswell as weightloss), feeling a bit more positive today and hubby took me out for a 'no diet' night last night to cheer me up! Nachos, burgers, chips, cocktails.... the lot! (Not going to help my case much mind!) Back on...

This week is my 12th week on slimming world, and I have STS. Very frustrated and disappointed. I have tried so hard this week (bar one meal with the in laws on Saturday night...but most weeks I have one diet fail meal and has never affected me before now). I've been going to the gym, I've been...

Week 12 Update STS Very frustrated and disappointed. I have tried so hard this week (bar one meal with the in laws on Saturday night...but most weeks I have one diet fail meal and has never affected me before now). I've been going to the gym, I've been keeping my syns below 10. I'm so...

STS this week. So annoyed as I have been relatively good. I could actually cry. I'm so de-motivated, especially having only had 1lb losses for quite a few weeks too. What am I doing wrong? 2 weeks until holiday and still 8lbs to lose. Impossible. So now I know I will be the beached whale...

Week 11 Update loss: 1lb 1lb loss. Disappointed, as today was a mini goal date for me and I'm 4lbs off :-( i now have 3.5 weeks to lose 8-10lbs. im finding this last slog so hard and I don't know why as I should be finding it the most motivating as the holiday is only 3.5 weeks away...

1lb loss. Disappointed, as today was a mini goal date for me and I'm 4lbs off :-( i now have 3.5 weeks to lose 8-10lbs. im finding this last slog so hard and I don't know why as I should be finding it the most motivating as the holiday is only 3.5 weeks away. advice????

Week 10 Update Loss: 2lbs Really wasn't expecting a loss this week as ate badly and drank all weekend, perhaps it will catch up with me next week. 10lbs left to go, in 4 weeks! Eeek. Tough! Still puts me at a target of 2.5 pw, which I doubt will happen, but gota try! Went clothes shopping at...

i'm off to Mexico in 4weeks! Need to lose 10lbs before then to be happy! -2lvs on tonight's weigh in. Down to 9st 5lbs!

Week 9 Update Loss: -3lbs So, I am back where I started before I went away, which is good news. And back to my first mini goal weight. Need to work hard for the next 5 weeks now, need to lose 12lbs in 5 weeks. At a rate of 2.5lbs a week, it's going to be soooo tough. Especially because I have...

-3lbs and back down to where I was 10 days ago before my week away. Good news. Also means I'm back at my first mini goal weight. Now, to lose 12lbs in 5 weeks before the final target date and the BIG beach holiday!

Late update as I've been away. I haven't been very good at keeping up with this. For my last week, I STS. -3lbs overall, so 1lb off target. But this month did include my bday, valentines AND a week in Paris! (Excuses, excuses.....)

Week 8 Update gain: 3lbs been in Paris for 4days and stopped dieting the weekend before...so had a whole week off diet. Massively expected, so no big deal. But for some reason I'm really disappointed. I worked so hard to hit my first mini goal weight & now i have to hit it again! the big...

Just back from Paris & have done my weigh in..... +3lbs :-( completely expected, and it had an amazing holiday.....but all the same, I'm gutted. 6weeks to lose a stone before my next holiday. i MUST do it!

Thanks nat :)

Week 7 Update Loss: 1lb At first, I was disappointed with this loss, as I have been relatively good most of this week. But then I remembered that OH and I had a blow out on Friday for Valentine's. Plus, my bday celebrations are probably still catching up with me. On a positive note, that 1lb...

Just realised that that 'measly' 1lb has taken me to my first mini goal! 9st 7!!!!

-1lb for me. Small battles win the war and all that...

Hi Daz, sorry for delay. I STS this weekend. (after a week of birthday celebrations and valentines, it was to be expected!)

Finding it so hard to stick to SW since my bday week off-diet. Dreading weigh in tomorrow. maybe I should start weighing in half lbs, to see more results? good luck to everyone for tomorrow's WI!

Week 6 Update Loss 0lbs, maintained. So tonight was the dreaded weigh in after my bday weekend & OH new job celebrations and...... i maintained!!! Do not feel it though, feel so bloated etc & sure there's something wrong with my scales!! Some of it might carry over into next week so if I'm...

Hey! So tonight was the dreaded weigh in after my bday weekend & OH new job celebrations and...... i maintained!!! Dnt not feel it though, feel so bloated etc & sure there's something wrong with my scales!! Some of it might carry over into next week so if I'm good next week hoping for maybe...

I normally weigh in on Weds, and I only found this after Sat 1st (i think?!) so I didnt have a chance to submit a loss that day. Sorry.

Week 6 mid week update. Struggling to find motivation today after celebrating my birthday all weekend and pretty much eating what I want and drank lots of alcohol. Today I have mostly stuck to free food and had about 6 syns over all (french fries with lunch and stock cube to make soup for...

Hi! Completely forgot to log my weigh in on Sat 8th (too busy bday celebrating!) I lost -3lbs last week! Expecting a gain this week after all my eating out and drinking the last few days though!

I'm hoping so, but had MASSES of birthday celebrations this weekend (with tomorrow night still to come!) so I'm expecting a gain this week and to work my arse off to get back to my 9st 8lbs for Paris! After that it's hardcore dieting and exercise (I MUST exercise more!) right up to my target...

Week 5 Update Loss: 3lbs YAY! Not sure how i managed this. I have been relatively good but not very strict at all! OH got a really good new job offer yesterday so we had a huge Dominoes feast, and I had alot of treats and sweets at work this week! Really pleased as this weekend and next week...

-3lbs this week! Really needed this as next week is my birthday week with lots of celebrations! (Plus me and OH had a takeaway pizza last night as he has just got a new job!) Lots of celebrating for the next week, then a week of being really good before 3 days in Paris!

I'm in the same boat Aesa! I have a birthday and a holiday in Paris! Let's hope we can get some sort of loss!

I'm definitely up for this! 4lbs will be a challenge for me! 4 x birthday celebrations (for myself!)(greedy!) and then a 3night break in Paris!! Technically, I need to lose 4lbs by the 21st Feb to hit my mini goal date, but I'm not holding out much hope. I think if I hit it by the 28th I'll be...

Hi everyone, Just found this thread! In the last month I have dropped from the 10st bracket to the 9st bracket! Woooo! Currently at 9st 11lbs and have a target of 8st 7lbs (although would happily take 8st 10lbs) for a beach bod in mid-April!

I have just completed Cancer Research UKs 'Dryathlon'! Raising money really did make me stick to the alcohol free spirit! (no pun intended!) I kicked started my SW plans again on the 1st Jan so not drinking for the first month of my restart has really helped to push the weight loss. 11lbs off...

Wow, massive inspiration from EVERYONE posting on this page. I have such a long way to go and have a tough month of birthday celebrations coming up. Was good to come on here today and regain my focus!!

You look great in that most recent photo! Been thinking of doing a photo diary myself, this is really giving me some motivation! Weekly or monthly, that is the question!

Wow! Well done! I wish I had started a photo diary with my own weight loss. I intended to take a photo on each weigh in or at the end of every month, but completely forgot to even take one at the start of the diet!! Congrats on all your hard work. Keep it up!

February is here, and although it means away with the January blues..... it's the month I have been dreading!! February is going to be a tough diet month for me, and I could do with some advice on how to be good, but not spoil all my fun! I turn 27 this month. I live away from home and from...

Week 4 Update - 1 Month Dieting Loss: 0lbs People say that a maintain is better than a gain, which is obviously true, but there is nothing more disappointing than not losing any weight. However, I knew it would happen as we went to Nandos this week and treated ourselves to a main and a dessert...

Week 3 Update Loss: 2lbs Was naughty this week and weighed myself mid week which knocked my confidence as I hadnt lost any weight. Must have more willpower and wait until weigh in as was pleasantly suprised. Have treated myself to chocolate a couple of nights this week and gone over to 12 syns...

Week 2 Update Loss: 3lbs Again a good week! Me and OH are well and truely into the swing of things with planning our meals and being back at work now means I have no time to snack. All Xmas treats and chocolate left overs have been hidden, given away or chucked in the bin. Havent found the time...

Week 1 Update Loss: 6lbs! It is always easier in your first week, especially after Xmas and New Year. I was terribly bloated and so the weight fell off relatively quick. Also, the motivation has well and truely kicked in so I was REALLY good at sticking to the plan. OH has been sticking to it...

So, I have been trying to stick to Slimming World for a month now. I tried it 5 years ago and lost a fair bit of weight, but was doing it alongside my house mates at the time and was easy to motivate each other and go to gym classes. 5 years on, I am married and getting toooo comfortable! We...

Well done to everyone on their losses this week. Unfortunately, I didnt achieve a loss this week :( I maintained though, which (glass half full!) is better than a gain. Me and Hubby had a massive blow out 3 course meal last weekend so was to be expected. My birthday in 2 weeks and have 2...

Hi ladies, I am a re-starter of slimming world and new minimins member! I am going to be doing weekly weigh in's on Wednesdays at home so hope you don't mind me jumping in! Today's weigh in was at 9st 11lbs which is a 2lb loss this week, which I am pleased with as I need to maintain 2lbs a...
