hopefully it'll show this week :)

thanks, i'm sure it does make it easier meal wise, but it's almost a competition between us so i'm sure that won't end well!

Hi guys, do you mind if i join you in the friday weighers? First week on slimming world and i lost 6lb and hubby lost 7lb, so pleased!!

thanks for all the welcomes and advice. thats a great loss already lougalx I think using the syns on mayo for my tuna is a great idea and for gravy too! :) thankyou. I'm absolutely loving all the fruit and veg so far and been trying lots of new different things i havent eaten before. I had a...

Ooh this answers my concerns too, I've eaten loads of superfree and free foods I'm struggling to make 5 syns let alone 15. But then again your food diary looks little compared to mine... so still a huge chance I'm messing it up. Good luck Dannii

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. New to slimming world, started Friday, doing extra easy and both me and hubby keep saying how can you eat so much and lose weight, so a bit worried we're doing it wrong, any advice greatly received I've been struggling to eat any syns at all. I did exante...

I took the kids to the cinema and bought myself some poppets... but was so proud of myself for not eating them and not feeling deprived either. There are far too many temptations

Hope you find something that suits your needs, shame this one didn't work for you, keep us posted on your journey still tho. JB

Hi alladin, This is going to sound a bit bonkers but I allow my self to think about food, daydream about it even, usually after allowing myself to daydream for a few minutes without trying to tell myself how bad it is I feel better and carry on being 100% Good Luck with it, you'll be back in...

Hi, I hope you're feeling a bit better today, I was soo tired n weak the first week, not to mention the headaches n mood swings haha It does pass, once you get fully into ketosis, and even now i have the odd day where i feel a bit more tired or weak, but on the whole now i have more energy than...

Hey Tiggy, here's to your new mountain bike :) Welcome wannabe, and congrats with the start, I go thru phases with which shakes etc i like and dislike. i've been struggling with my first shake before work, cos i leave the house at 5.30am i am tryin to have a shake at 5.15... but half asleep...

Afternoon everyone :) sorry i've been absent all weekend have a terrible cold :( but WI day waits for no man hehe I've lost 5lb this week, which i'm very pleased with 22lbs in 3 weeks now thats something to be extremely pleased about :) I feel great because of it. Well done on your losses...

honk :D

Great loss charlie congrats :) My new delivery came and i finally got to try the new bars i've been dying to try, found them lovely for the first half i was in heaven then they got a bit sickly, so i think splitting them into two sittings is the way to go, I think someone else suggested this...

I haven't yet found anything that i love, I like the choc shakes have gone right off the vanilla ones but just ordered some meal packs cos like you i think they look and sound nice so fingers crossed by the end of the week i'll have an actual favourite to help with surviving the diet

Good luck with whichever way you decide to go tomorrow, I personally would have a chicken salad, no dressing of course and ask for the chicken to be grilled and only have green salad with it, that way it shouldn't affect you too much, only a bit of mental torture but thats the norm on this diet...

Hi does anyone know if you can have oxo in hot water? and if so which ones can we have cos i like the red one hehe and really fancy some

oooh just ordered this months supply and had meals and bars rather excited lmao how sad is that!

Well done for sticking with it, and congrats on a great weight loss!! As said above water intake does impact on weightloss a lot, the more i drink the more i lose. Good luck for this week, and hope your tummy bug is better

Hi Katie, just thought i'd pop in here and say hello, The looking at clothes is a brilliant idea, i think i might try that myself :) You're doing brilliantly so far

It's the same as any diet you of course can put it back on if you eat like a wally lol. I lost loads a few yrs ago and kept it off for a few yrs til deciding to have 2 more babies to complete our family, so you can maintain don't panic :) Have you made it through another day now?

Afternoon guys, another mad day here had to suffer the supermarket for the kids food shopping as i got distracted whilst doin the shopping online and forgot to complete the order! doh!! It wasn't quite as bad as i imagined, but up near the bakery part, the smell of fresh bread was hypnotising...

ooh i think i'll have to look into that, i love the idea of centreparcs but can't warrant that price lol. Did you enjoy the bars? i'm ordering some this time to try can't wait and come meal packs which i'm really dubious about hehe

Oh no Katie that's not good, thank god for ketosis tho? doesnt make it as difficult just mental torture hehe. I tried uhm strava app i think it is, and it does the same as you just said but i set it to go when i left thinking it wa doing its thing in my pocket but actually it just timed me and...

I started out on LL also, but have moved products with price gettin gradually less :) massive bonus an eefective diet for this price. IMO nothing comes close to LL porridge god i loved that stuff and LL veg soup mm again nothing even comes close to that on cambridge or exante but it's nice...

This was my saviour yesterday when i was freezing and rally craving something savoury and hot, mmm yummy! did feel a bit like cheating tho you're right there hehe

Good luck this time TamMK, you can do it :) and you'll be so pleased you did when you put your cossie on Are you going anywhere nice on your hol?

well done for making it to day 3, the first few are the hardest by far :)

for me the tell tale signs are, horrible breath, dry mouth and not feeling hungry. :) hth

Morning my January loss lovelies, Well i've mapped a route for my exercise, its 3.29 miles from door to door, it's got two brutal hills in it and i walked it today, i'd like to say fast but with a double pushchair and having just finished work it took me an hour!! but i feel really good for it...

Great weigh in results so far today, I've lost 4lb this week, which is fantastic given that my husband turned 40 last tuesday and I had a day off the diet. very very happy lady today! I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on my drink question, I know we can have bouillon, but can we...

I was thniking the exact same thing, what on earth is this diet hehe thanks for the links :)

ooh Miss Demeanour do tell what the diet is your doing? i'm the same in that i tend to just swap between vlcds for price reasons, none are nice so might aswell get them cheap haha

I know this is a slightly older thread now, but i did cambridge diet a few yrs ago and i switched to exante as its far cheaper, you do have to buy the bulk packs for 50% off but thats no big deal for me, i prefer to work that way, and januarys offer was two 4 wk bulk packs for £170 so even...

I've not heard of that before, will look it up in a sec. someone on facebook was advertising hypno gastric band parties i wondered whether they would work or not. Thats a really good loss rate, about the same as on vlcd so to be able to do that whilst eating is brilliant

Well done, fantastic achievement! you look amazing :)

I know your right, and obviously when i get down to my last few stone i'll be eating my own words complaining about my last st but at the min I'm bitter haha Fantastic weightloss btw congrats, Have you followed a specific diet?

Honk and a saturday too so proud!

Hindsight is a great thing eh haha, your doing really well then to be down 2 sizes already, i like judging weight loss like that, and your soo tall i bet you can carry off a lot more weight and look far thinner, you lucky thing!! Oooh hope the chili lives up to expectations after all the...

sorry i lost this thread! just figured out i can click on subscribed threads to find them more easily!! sorry thickest user award is mine today haha Samprand i've been on 2 wks this time, i did exante diet 6 yrs ago and lost 7st in 6 months, maintained for a few yrs crept up to 16st then...

Hope you guys don't mind me gate crashing a bit, I've got over 10 stone to lose realistically, and find it a bit of a slap sometimes when people are complaining they have 18lbs to lose, i've got more than that to lose from one bum cheek alone hehee So would love to watch and encourage you guys...

great start joanne :) good luck with your journey

Well done so far, and good luck for the journey, your doing fantastically already!

congrats Anna, bet that feels great, I remember the days when i was in my 16's and thought even then i was fat.... :( hehe would give anything to be there again now

Hi Plym, you have about the same as me to lose and a similar starting weight too, well done getting back on track :D Wow Katie your dog eats better than my kids haha kidding of course ;) what is a manchester tart? A cake i never knew existed.. can't be hehe. mmm i love talking about food...

Oh my good luck with the run Tiggy, I'm halfway through reading Run fat ***** run by ruth field and its funny and simple but i think i might actually give running *cough* well walking with maybe a speeded up spring in my step, a go, have you been running long? Wow Hendricks its great your...

Just found this and had to say, OMG what an amazing journey, the loss was brilliant and has really given me hope i can get to goal and your surgery pics are fantastic, and having read this i would definitely consider a tt in the future i dreamed of having one but was scared, until i saw this...

I don't know what happens to my msgs they don't seem to work off my phone! My weigh in from monday was fantastic I lost 13lb in week 1. this week so far is another matter, Hubby turned 40 on tuesday so we had a planned day off, but i was careful about what i had, daren't weigh just yet been...

It could have been much worse gottosortit, at least it wasn't some toast or something very bad for the diet, hopefully you've kicked yourself enough for it and are back on track now :)

Fantastic pics, My husband loses at about the same speed as you, where i seem to always be a few lb shorter than him each week. And great news for maintenance! well done!!

I still can't find it, Will it only be available on apple? or will android have their own version? hoping so!

Well done so far Katie we started on the same day, here's to our first weekend 100%

the new ones are the yoghurt covered one n the double choc one? I don't mind the products either really, they aren't the worst tasting. oh apart from the older bars yuck! It's good that you stepped in before sliding back down the slippery slope, unlike me who let it get out of control again...

Well done everyone, so far doing brilliant, not sure where my first msg went from 3 days ago asking to join :( So i'll try again lol, Is it ok for me to jump on board the Jan buddy thread please? I'm now on day 5, so far 100% all the way, very pleased with that alone I'm a nightmare for daily...

Honk Honk for the last 4.5 days :eek: :D

Hi Chris, I reckon it's a suck it and see whats strenuous for you, cos for me half of what you could manage might be strenuos, not much of an answer I know lol sorry, I've started the 30 day squat challenge at the same time so not sure if that will count as too strenuos yet hehe. Good luck with...

great start well done :D

Hi, the shakes definitely don't taste the same, i used to do cambridge, but switched to exante for cost reasons.... bit gutted cos i was the opposite to you i loved the cambridge shakes and bars but altho i don't dislike the exante ones they aren't quite as nice, for me anyway, i also don't...

Hi guys, My story is similar really, lost more than 7st with CD about 5 yrs ago, maintained for a few yrs, then decided to give up smoking and have 2 more children in quick succession, and here I am almost back to my original starting weight all those yrs ago, on day 3 of exante today, and so...

:O i didnt even know there was an exante diet app, wonder if its on android how brilliant would that be. Good luck with your day 1 today :D

I always swear i'm not going to be a daily weigher but then can't help myself... but its never a negative for me, i either use it to dig my heels in and try a little more exercise or i'm dead chuffed and drink some water to celebrate haha Looking forward to seeing how your monthly weigh in...
