Good luck for tomorrow, I'm sure you'll do great. Hope you get the one you want most x

Aw shame about your lunch I hate it when that happens. I got home and my broth had dried out a bit in the slow cooker. I've added more water but it doesn't look as good as last weeks :( Good luck with the exercise :whacky068: & enjoy your shepherds pie :)

Hi you're having some excellent food days & a ninth trip to the gym, no wonder you're feeling strong. You're nailing it :character00116:

I'll have to give that a try. I'm just making a slow cooker full of broth for my lunches this week. I always seem to lose well in weeks I have it. I'm doing pretty well thanks. Still not doing it 100% but between (almost) dry January, gym 4 times a week & mainly sensible food I've lost 7lb in 2...

Hiya, you're food is sounding lovely. I love toasties, how are you doing them, under the grill?

2.5 is still a good loss and going into the next stone bracket is great ☺ They do say you should use all your syns especially when you start so might be worth saving them this week and they'll count towards your weekend. Definitely enjoy your birthday and back on afterwards x

Glad to hear you've got your clothes sorted, I'm sure you'll look great. Mmm love curry, we all need a treat at the weekend. You've been on plan all week so saving syns is part of the plan x

4lb off! I'm so excited! :woohoo:

Aycliffe McDonalds??? Seriously? They make the worst McMuffins & they have virtually never got my order right. I didn't know it was possible to run out of milkshake! lol Mind that's probably a good thing lol Yes a very small world :D You know best about the resit, do what feels right :) Hope...

Hiya yes I'm local I live in Aycliffe but work in Darlington :) I don't know about tasteys but I love sausage & egg McMuffins & the new one on Whessoe Rd make the best ones!!! Why not resit on 12th Feb? I know its close to the other one but given how you felt about this this time & only...

Hi Jhsax I was really scared when I joined the gym, I felt too fat & too old. But they were so nice & supportive. I found a class I liked, Kettlecise, they gave me advice on the weight machines etc and I really enjoy it now. It's not a miracle worker but I feel better & more confident because of...

Oh Emma I'm gutted for you, 1 mark! I knew you knew more than you thought, can you resit quickly or do you have to wait? Well done for making it to Newcastle. I was meant to go to a meeting in Stockton this morning but it was called off as half the team couldn't get there! Amazing will power to...

This weather is awful, makes it hard to drag myself to the gym. Hope your leg is feeling better now & you make it to gym. I had to pick my hubbie up so didn't make it tonight. Weigh in tomorrow so I may regret it.

Hi Sammie don't feel lonely I'm sure there are a lot of people like me reading your story but not posting :) A 2.5lb loss is a great achievement in just one week. I'm sure if you keep to plan & especially if you add exercise you'll keep losing & it'll all be worth it :character00116: Keep faith...

Don't be so hard on yourself. Have a quick read through your notes if you have any & then an early night. If you have time in the morning have a flick through the books on your way there. No point staying up half the night stressing. You probably know more than you think & a good nights sleep is...

Hi Emily it's lovely to see you back :) It sounds like you had some fantastic holidays last year. You deserved to take time out to relax & enjoy yourselves. Well done for giving up smoking, how long have you been off them? I have to say I found giving up hell but I'm so glad I did. Good luck...

Hi Emma I just wanted to say hello & well done on your loss this week. You're doing really well when you've got so much going on. It's hard when we don't get the loss we hope for. I've just restarted & my first weigh in on Friday was a 3lb loss. Not what I'd hoped but if I get another 3 this...

Hiya congratulations an your amazing loss, what a fantastic start. I'll be following as it's great to read people success stories, helps keep me going. Your curry looks fab, I'm going to have a try of it. The onion bhaji's look much better than the ones my husband has made, is that a sw recipe too?

Hiya I don't mean to hijack the thread but is it possible you could post the curry sauce recipe? I love chip shop curry sauce :)

Hi Charley 3 good fitbit days ☺ Do you have a daily target or a weekly one too? I aim for 10 thou a day and 80 thou a week. Gives some leeway for lazy non gym days lol x

Just looked and I absolutely love it! It's perfect for a beach wedding. I think you've made a great choice ☺ xx

I had a registry office wedding many many years ago. I'd never wanted the big fairy tale wedding. I'd looked and looked for something to wear and in the end a week before the wedding my friend pressured me into buying a white skirt and matching top. I got home tried it on and hated it. We were...

Hi Charley I've got the new mini zipfit. I did have the fitbit one but my husband has lost 3, including mine! So we downgraded to the cheaper ones. I love them, gutted when I forget to wear it. I wear mine on my bra as I remember it there more. I decided against the wrist one and the jawbone one...

Excellent fitbit scores ☺

Sorry to hear that. I know how you feel I really struggled to lose my Xmas gain. But don't give up you will do it x

Thanks :) That's a great loss in just 4 weeks, well done :D

Morning everyone. Well after weeks of yo yo ing since Xmas I have lost 2lb & finally got a new lowest weight :D Good luck at weigh in today xx

Hi Emily I'm feeling much better thanks. Sounds like I've passed it on to you. :( x Hope you're feeling better now. You did amazing to get a loss when you're not well. You're going to hit your Florida target I'm sure :cool: x

Well done on yet another loss, you're doing great :D You'll both have a great time in Florida :cool:

Not doing very well at the moment to be honest. Had a horrible cold for the last 3 weeks and can't go to the gym an can't seem to care about what I eat. Really hoping this cough will go soon and I can get back on track. You can do it, no problem. You'll be slim and fit and you'll have a fab time...

Keep going Emily you know it will work x

Well STS for me which I'm quite relieved about. I've had a horrible cold for 2 wks now, not sleeping because of the cough & drinking port and brandy to ease my chest at night. Purely medicinal of course lol Plus last night I was out for a curry with my friends, so all in all a good result for me...

You've done so well this week. I'm sure that in the next 3 wks with all the extra water/green tea & body magic you'll get that 7lb. I'll be cheering :clap:

5lb off for me so entitled to keep my 4st badge :bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance: Next I need another 2 off to get back to my lowest :D

Well done Jo that's a fabulous start. You'll need to set a new target for January :D x

Good luck with weigh in today x

Hi Ann how are you doing with your new start? x My weigh in yesterday was as bad as I expected, 5lb on over the holidays so really got my work cut out to get down into the next stone category. Ah well at least I enjoyed putting it back on lol

Morning everyone :wavey: Well the holidays are over & it's Friday so back to plan. I decided to enjoy Xmas & New Year & not worry about what I was eating or drinking. My only aim was to stay within the 13's. Weighed in just now and I've managed that. (Just!) So I'm rejoining online today. I...

Hi Ann. Sorry to hear things haven't been working out for you. Hope you're ok x I've been totally off plan over the holidays, going to weigh in Friday morning and that will be my new start. Going to be back on it from Saturday, hangover permitting lol Stef x

1lb off for me this morning. Very slow but still going the right way :)

Hi Jo I'm sure you'll get a good number next week. You've come so far already & I know that you can keep going and achieve all your goals x :bighug: Sally I hope you get out today. Look after yourself & don't stress about getting back on plan straight away x

That's fantastic! Well done :happy096:

1lb on for me but I'm okay with it. Today is the start of a new week and I'm going to stay off the scales (husband is hiding them lol)

Good luck everyone ☺ (I am string ) xx

Thank you so much Sally and Cloudy, it means so much to me to have your support. I have been doing exactly what you said Cloudy, weighing mornings and after work and it really affects my mood. I didn't use to weigh everyday so I'm going to try to stop, one day at a time lol I normally gym 5...

I need to stop daily weighings. I've really cut out alcohol which is my achilies heel. Even didn't drink at a big party on Saturday. Also been at gym for 6 days in a row. Scales showed a small drop Saturday morning but now back to where I was. So feel a bit like what's the point. I really...

I'm struggling this week :(

Hi Jo, really pleased you're feeling on the mend. Hopefully the Dr will be able to give you the all clear ☺ You'll have that gain off in no time and a few extra lbs to go with it. Lovely to have you back x

Omg 4lb!!! :D I'd hoped to get back to my pre holiday weight & I've gone a lb under! So happy. In the bottom have the 13's too! :party0011::bunnydance::party0011::bunnydance::party0011: Good luck everyone, hope you all have fab loses too xx

Hi everyone. It's been very quiet on here lately. How is everyone feeling about weigh in tomorrow? I've been having a few sneaky looks & fingers crossed I'll be happy in the morning. 6 more weigh ins before Xmas after tomorrow. Anyone got any Xmas goals? Good luck tomorrow x

Hi Emily Just dropping by to say hello, hope you're okay x

Your Halloween food looked fab, loving the contact lenses too :) I too need to stop the weekend insanity. 2 bottles of wine on Saturday & then wasted most of Sunday. I'm going to give up alcohol until Xmas. Or at least give it my best shot. This will be much harder for me than cutting out choc &...

Happy Halloween Yay well done on the loss x Omg I love Diversity! Were Ashley and Perry both there? So jealous

Ah well 1lb on for me. I've got to get my head back in the game but I'm struggling. I need to sort my food out instead of thinking that going to gym 5 or 6 days a week is enough

STS for me this week. I can't seem to get out of holiday mode & the glasses of wine when I get home :rolleyes:

Well done Jo you've really done fab with your body magic. I'm sure you'll get your 4st by Xmas x

Good luck everyone for tomorrow x :)

I don't know what to say, not surprised you're mad. I'm sure it's linked to your totm and once that happens hopefully you'll be back to losing again. Have a good relaxing weekend and start fresh on Monday, it will do you good x

Well done Jo :) My 2wks in America has meant a 4lb gain for me but it was worth it. I will be doing my best to get it back off as quickly as possible. Well done to everyone on their losses and sts, good luck to those still to weigh in :)

Good luck for tomorrows weigh in everyone :cross:

Hi Jo. I'm so sorry you're having such a horrible time. I hope you know that if you ever need someone to talk to & just let loose we are here for you. I totally agree with Mandy, don't worry too much about SW at the moment. Take care of yourself & your daughter, be kind to yourself, that's far...

Oh wow that looks amazing! Not sure I'd have been able to resist. Well done :happy096:

Oh Jo I'm so sorry to hear that. I've just got back & only just catching up with everything. I hope you're ok and that you had many, many birthday drinks with your friend. If you want to talk you know we're all here for you xx

Hi Charley. Looks like you've been having a couple of great weeks, you're new plan of week at a time is working :) Thanks for your lovely comments, I've been on holiday so only got to read them today xx I have to admit though that I haven't been even vaguely good on my hols. I totally decided to...

Hi Emily. Did you have a good holiday? I got back on Sunday & a sneak peek at the scales is looking very very bad. I'm going to skip official weigh in this week & hope I can undo some of the damage by next week lol Btw like the dancing banana :D

Hi Ann it's great to see you back :) Congratulations on your promotion, you must be very happy about that. Sounds like you had a great summer. I'm sure you'll see the scales moving in the right direction quickly. Plenty of things to look forward to as well, especially a spa day. I got back from...

Hi Emily. Can't reply properly as using my phone. Thank you so much for your support. I too measurements but not until I'd already lost 2st. Since then I've lost 4 inches off my bust and waist and 4.5 from my hips. :) I can't see your emoticon on my phone so I'll have to wait until I get home...

Hi Emily. Can't reply properly as using my phone. Thank you so much for your support. I too measurements but not until I'd already lost 2st. Since then I've lost 4 inches off my bust and waist and 4.5 from my hips. :) I can't see your emoticon on my phone so I'll have to wait until I get home...

Aw Charley I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. :( I wish I could help in a practical way but I'm here for you and will definitely be in your corner cheering you on. I think that when you decide to do it for yourself and sod everyone else the weight is going to fall off. I think you can do...

Don't be sorry for saying what you're feeling. That's what we're here for, to listen and support you. I have to wonder if the lack of sleep and the inevitable stress that comes with a new job is the reason EE hasn't worked. It could be that once things settle down you'll get a big loss. I think...

I hope he's going to be okay Sookie. Remember to take care of yourself x

It just keeps getting better & better Jo :D

Thank you Polly :)

Thank you. I don't think I'd be doing half as well if it wasn't for the support of you guys on here x

Well done on your loss. It's a fab result to get a loss after you've been on holiday :D I'm going away for 2 wks tomorrow and if I can do as well as you have I'll be over the moon.

3lb isn't scraping by Jo it's fantastic! :happy096: 2.5 stone, into the teens. Go Jo! All the body magic you're doing is really paying off :whacky068: I bet you have a fab week next week too x

I'm in shock. I've lost 4lb!!! No idea how, it's the biggest loss I've had in ages. So 4st off!!!! Woohoo! :D :party0038: :D Good luck everyone x

Omg Emily I got my 4st!!! I can't believe it! I'm sooo happy :bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance:

Hopefully the scales will show us all what we want to see tomorrow. Losses all round! :)

You are doing so well Jo I'm sure you'll get it this week. I have faith in you :D I really want 2lb this week to give me my 4st. I've had a lot of sts & I need a boost. Even if I get it I won't keep it long, we're off on holiday on Saturday & I'll be totally off plan for 2 wks but it's a...

I've tried the roasties (well husband cooked them I just ate them lol) they were delicious! Def be having them again. Thank your Mum for me :)

That's fab! Well done on your loss Jo, that 2.5lb loss will be yours next week :)

Maybe the bloating is just your bodies reaction to the change in food. I'm sure you'll get a big loss next week to make up for it :)

Well 1lb off. It's not a lot but after all these stw weeks I'm happy. I'm off on holiday next Saturday so no doubt a big gain to come home to but today it's another step in the right direction. :D Good luck guys x

Good luck everyone, hope the scales are kind :) x

You are so right Poshpaddy. I'd forgotten how moved by this I was the first time I read it. For what it's worth Emily I think you have a beautiful face. You have already achieved so much and I'm sure that you will achieve everything you want. I believe in you. Can't wait to see all 5 tattoos x :)

Glad to hear you're okay now. Hope the Dr sorts you out and your asthma goes away again soon x PS great weight loss :D

Ooh I'd love the recipe for the roasties please :)

LOL I've just noticed I've lost over 20% too. I thought it was about 18 duh! :confused:

Well done on that 1.5lb, you are doing great. Just looking at your stats and you've lost over 20% of your body weight. That's amazing! Definitely need photos & the recipe :D Sts for me this week which I'm really happy with. I was totally off plan from Wed until Mon. Got weighed Tues morning &...

Good luck for tomorrow Emily, not that I think you'll need any luck you're doing great. You'll have to post that curry recipe, my favourite curry is palak. I love the mix of onions and spinach :) x

Good luck tomorrow everyone x

Well done on your loss. You'll get that 2.5lb next week :)

Finally got home 2 hrs later than expected due to an accident on the motorway. So instead of gym we went for a curry. It was delicious but that is the end of our weekend! Lol :)

Well done, great loss :) I sts which I was ok with as I had a few off plan days. I'm on my way home from a festival in Derby and I have drunk loads!!!! I think I'm in line for a gain this week. Still going to hit the gym hard and stick to plan from tomorrow :)

1986 i was a child bride lol Sent from my GT-P5100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Good luck for tomorrow x

I think that no matter what it costs all that matters is that you have a day that makes you happy and is everything you've ever dreamt it of being. :) I think you both have got it figured out perfectly and I'm sure you'll both have the most amazing time that you'll remember for the rest of your...

I've been married forever but I only spent about 1k on the whole thing! Mind it was arranged in less than 6 wks. Registry office. I bought my dress 2 days before, I'd changed my mind about the one I'd bought the week before. Meal for 20 and then disco and buffet in a hotel. Last minute weeks...

Definitely platinum by Xmas! You'll wear that cross trainer out :)

Lol I think Zappacat would really cause a stir on my name badge at work! :) Think I got mine in tesco with all the Xmas stuff but I've definitely seen them in Savers. They sell CherryB too! I'll keep an eye out for the mousse. Aw thanks that's so kind. I'm about to fall off the wagon in a big...

Yay! I knew it was any day now. Well done :) x

I weighed in this morning, another STS. We're off to a festival this afternoon so can't do it tomorrow. I'm happy there was no gain as I've been terrible this week and no idea why I've lost the plot. I'm sure of a gain next week after a weekend of drinking but we have to have some fun :) I'm...

I remember them. You can still buy them. I got all nostalgic and bought some for Xmas a couple of years ago. Not as sophisticated as I remember them when I was 10 lol

Aw Jo so sorry to hear that. Hope you're both ok x

Omg that roast dinner looks fantastic! I need to know how you made that gravy it looks delicious :D

Aw thanks for noticing :) He's pretty much always done all the cooking, when we got married I couldn't cook at all. I can now but don't tell him lol Maybe now Liam is more interested in what you're eating you can teach him a few things. He might enjoy it, especially if he discovers a special...

Hi Emily, so happy to see you back :D Sorry to hear your bad news though. It sounds like you've really made a good new start, it really helps when you're other half is so supportive. We're both going to the gym & he's loving all the SW cookbooks. Which is good as he does most of the cooking :p...

Wow you that's fantastic! You must be over the moon. :) You really seem to have got it figured out now. Well done and hope the party goes well tomorrow x

Aw sorry about your gain but I'm sure that after your holiday and back at your normal job the pounds will drop off. I think it often helps to have a break :)

Well it's a STS for me and to be honest I'm really happy with that. I'm so bloated & icky that I was convinced it was going to be a gain & that I might even go back into the 14's. So no loss but more importantly no gain. I will do better next week! Target of 2lb to make up for this week...

Here's hoping for some more good results tomorrow :grouphugg:

I'm feeling distinctly pessimistic. Not been a good week at all. It's almost as if when I get near the next milestone I freak out and sabotage myself :(

I love it Jo. I keep thinking 1lb isn't enough. But if I can lose 1lb a week & lose that amount in total I will be over the moon at Xmas. :26:

Well done, the difference is fab. You should be so proud of how well you've done :D

Thanks :) You're doing great, sure you'll reach target next week

Woohoo! That's fantastic and you were so worried. I think you've got it sorted and it's going to be success after success for you from now on. Well done Jo x :)

Morning everyone. Well I got 1lb. Happy it was a loss as I've been out for 2 big meals this week. Nothing planned for this week so going to try for 2lb & try to stay off the wine! :party0036: Good luck today x

Sorry to hear that work isn't good. It's awful having to do something we don't like. Hopefully it will get better after a few days. Fingers crossed for tomorrow x :)

Morning everyone. How are we feeling about weigh in this week? I would dearly like 2lb as I am only 4lb away from my next award & that would be fantastic to achieve by the end of the month. Realistically I think 1lb is more likely but I'm trying to think positive this week, power of positive...

I don't know the answer Jo but I know I weigh 2 or 3lb more when I come home after work than before I go. So if you change from morning to night it's probably going to make a difference & you'll need to take that into account. The next week will then show your loses again. Difficult :(

Your first gold counts towards the Platinum. So yes 2 golds but they have to be back to back, no gaps x

I bought that on Tuesday. I haven't tried anything yet because I had already planned my meals for the week. But there are some lovely looking recipes in it :)

I think you're right Mandy. Doing something different can kick start our metabolism. Take the 2 wk break & come back fresh, rested & kick butt! ;)

Thanks. He must think we're all mad lol I suspect I'll be grinning all day :D Well done on your loss too. We were all worried and all good news so far :) Sent from my GT-P5100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Aw so sorry to hear about your car Jo, that's awful. Will the insurance cover it? Well done on the lb. You were convinced you wouldn't have a loss & you have. Well done. You'll get that award next week x :)

I'm sooo happy this morning. I've lost 3lb!!! It takes me into the 13's & gets me my half century! I didn't expect it & I'm over the moon :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Sorry that you're having a rough time at the moment. We all have weeks like that but hopefully you'll get back on track for the rest of the week & get that 1.5lb :bighug:

Morning guys, looks like I'm first to weigh in. I've lost 3lb!!! I'm over the moon. I've got my half century award & I'm into the 13's! I can't believe how well SW has worked for me. I'm sat typing this crying :party0038: Good luck everyone. I know people are worried this week but maybe we'll...

Great loss Beth, well done. I can't wait to see that 13 :)

Oh wow that's fantastic! You didn't think you'd do it and you smashed it. Well done :)

Well done that's a great loss :D

Really pleased that you love the dress. Remember that it is your wedding day & how you feel is more important than what anyone else thinks. I'm sure you'll look beautiful :) I hope everything goes well tomorrow. I've had a couple awful cuts over the the years but on the whole I've come out...

Well done Niamh that's amazing! So very very happy for you :D

Yay well done Jo! We all knew you'd nail it this week. 3lb is a great loss and I'm sure you'll get that 1.5lb next week x :D

Well 1lb off for me , so I get my 3.5st award! I'm really happy but I'm greedy & really wanted 2 for my half century award. Next week I'm going to get that 2!!! :D Good luck everyone x :)

That's fantastic, well done to you both :)

I'm not feeling confident. I've had good losses in the last 3 weeks but I'm not feeling it this week. I don't think I've done anything really different but feel horribly bloated & icky. Well I'll find out in the morning :rolleyes: Good luck to everyone else. Hope there are some good losses...

Welcome to all our new friends :D

Woohoo that's fantastic! You are doing great and we all want to follow your example and join you in the 13's. Hope to be there soon x :)

Well done Linz :)

Sorry to hear you haven't been well. I'm sure it will come straight back off & hopefully take a couple of others with it :)

Well done another lb gone. You're doing really well, especially with your crazy long shifts :D

Well done, fab loss :clap:

Hi Jo :wavey: I'm the same, I'm up at least 2 or 3 times during the night, always have been. Probably because I take a pint of water to bed as I'm always thirsty when I wake up

I have to say the last 3 weeks I've been trying to drink 3 litres a day. I do it easily on days I go to the gym & I have to say that the last 3 weeks have been my best losses in the last 3 mths.

I've lost 2lb this week & it's taken me out of the 200's & I'm just 1lb off my 3.5 stone award. I really hope I can get that lb next week :D

I'm sure the heat is playing havoc with water retention.

2lb off today for me. That takes me out of the 200's! Now only 1lb off my 3.5 stone award, 2lb off my half century badge & 4lb off moving down to the next group!! Soooo excited :bliss:

I agree with Cloudy Darcys Mummy. It's probably a bit of water retention because of the heat or maybe hormones if it's getting near that time of the month. Stick with it you'll get a great result next week to make up for it :grouphugg:

Good luck for tomorrow everyone. Here's hoping for another fab week like last week x :)

Woohoo that's fantastic! So happy for you but sad to see you go. Hopefully a few of us will be following you in the next couple of weeks :) :) :)

I'm sure you're going to do it this week :)

Good luck for tomorrow :)

Fingers crossed for you that you see that 12 again tonight. if not I'm sure you'll see it next week! Good luck :D

It's probably just your body adjusting after your holiday. I'm sure it'll all be gone again next week x :)

Hello & welcome. That's a fab start well done to you both :D

Well done for staying positive. I have bloaty weeks but hopefully next week you'll get the loss you deserve. Hope you have a fab weekend :D

Well done :) Some fab loses this week

Wow looks like we've all had a great week. Let's hope for more of the same next week :) Sorry about your gain beachbabetobe but I'm sure you'll get that and more off next week x

2lb loss for me today, very very happy :D Just 3lb more & I'll get my 3.5 award. Looks like it's going to be a lovely sunny day too. Have a fab day everyone x :cool:

Morning everyone. Another 2lb off for me, that's 6lb in 2 weeks. I'm sooo happy! April, May & June weren't good, very slow loss & a lot of yo yo ing. Hopefully I'm back on the right track now :D Good luck today, lets smash it together! :grouphugg:

I'm trying not to pour a second large glass lol

Yay well done Niamh, that's a fantastic loss!! :happy096:

Well done 3 good days on plan. I do like to see that I'm not the only one that likes to pour some wine or a vodka after work. I was beginning to think I was the only person on here that drank! :party0036:

Morning It's great fun watching your little person walking around, I really enjoyed doing them :D

I did mine online and it stores all the workouts but once you've achieved your weeks target nothing will change until the new week starts. You could work towards the walks on the other body magic page, like walking around central park. You're doing awesome and you'll soon get that award! :)

Are you logging it online with sw? If you are enter it but once all the ticks light up nothing else will until the next week x

That's fantastic, well done :party0038:

Doesn't it have to be a total of 45 mins spread over a minimum of 3 days in a 7 day period? So once you've done 3 days & at least 45 mins you've met that week & anything else in that week doesn't count towards the award, although still worth doing. :whacky068:

Good luck tonight x

Not surprised you lost it. I'd have lost it at the spider! x

Make it an EE day? :)

Omg! What were you having?

Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. Hopefully thing will start to get better soon. Good luck for wi tomorrow x :flowers:

Happy Birthday Charley :birthday:

Yay! Well done Mandy, fab result :D

That's fantastic! :) I've seen people in the gym who look so fit & slim and yet they still have the same fears I have. Virtually no one likes everything about themselves. I'm sure you'll do great & soon start to enjoy it. I didn't think I would but I love the classes :D x

Even better!!! :happy096:

Congratulations that's a fab loss! x

Woohoo! 4lb! I'm so excited, that gets me my 3st award :party0011::bliss::bliss::party0011: Good luck everyone x

Good luck to everyone at wi tomorrow, I've a good feeling, I think we're all going to have a good week :scale:

I have to agree with this. I joined a new gym when it opened in April. I was so self concious at first but then I decided sod them. I'm not there for them I'm there for me! Having said that nobody has been anything but nice to me. I'm doing a kettlebell class & spinning & there are people of all...

Good luck at wi tonight, hope it's not too bad. I'm sure you'll get back to plan & quickly lose any gain :rolleyes:

That chow mein looks delicious. Well done for the fab food but maybe try not to let yourself get hungry to the point of being dizzy, it can't be good for you x Hope the shifts aren't too bad :)

Wow that's great, well done. I'm sure you'll have that club 10 next week :D

That's fantastic news, so pleased for you both x

That's fantastic! Well done :D x

Me too! I'd love to know how he would try to explain why he kept going in her room!

Yay so happy for you that new group is going to work for you :D

Of course it's okay, we're family. You are always part of the Friday group x

That's fantastic, well done. I might have to try that :)

Yay! well done that's a great loss. You'll be in the 13's before you know it :D

Hi Natalie that's a great start to getting back to plan, I'm sure you'll get your mini goal this month :) I'm aiming to get my 3st award next week and be under 14 & a half by the end of the month. I'm hoping to join a group in the next couple of weeks so new weigh in time and scales will...

Good luck for today. Really pleased you had a good time and felt confident when you were out. It's great when you wear something and feel happy. I'm sure you'll have many more times like that in the weeks to come :) Hope your colds starting to get better x

Well sts for me and to be fair given the way I've eaten and drunk this week it's a miracle, so I'm happy :) Going to the Dr's on Monday about a GP referral for 12 free sw sessions. So I'm going to bite the bullet and give it a go. I may be a little naughty today, it's been a rough week, but...

I'm hoping for sts as I've been really off plan this week but I think it's going to be a gain :o Good luck to everyone :)

Hi I've been doing SW online. I started out really well but since the middle of April I've been losing & gaining & going nowhere fast. I've contacted my Dr & have an appointment on Monday for a 12 wk sw referral. I hate the thought of group, I'm horribly shy but I really think I need a more...

Sorry you're not feeling well, I hope you get over it quickly & it doesn't develop into a full blown cold. I think if you are that hungry when you get home you need to have more while you're at work. Maybe some syn free snacks, fruit, lean meat or hard boiled eggs are very filling & free. I...

Aw bless, I bet she looks really cute playing football (noseball) with foil :p

So glad to hear that the news is good about your Mam. It must be a huge relief. I love the dress! You're going to feel great wearing it & have a fab day out :D

Oh dear, I guess nail clipping is not one of her favourite things. You said she's been throwing her toys around, what toys does she have? I love the idea of her playing with toys :p

Yes you need to eat food that will fill you up & keep you going. Lots of healthy snacks too to fill the gaps during the day. Make sure you eat enough or eating the wrong things when you're tired is just going to happen. I'm sure you'll figure it out. You lost 3st before & you can lose another 3...

Must have been something in the air at the weekend, I kinda lost the plot on Saturday. Back on yesterday & today, well today until I opened a bottle of wine! Tomorrow is a new day, good luck to both of us getting back on track x :rolleyes:

Hi I buy cat food sachets for them but not the fish ones. They like the ones in jelly better than the gravy. I have at least 2 that come to be fed. Trouble is the magpies like the look of the cat food too so I have to stand nearby to scare them off or they peck him. I'm trying to attach a...

I am loving Pogbaby updates, she gorgeous. I've been feeding the wild ones in my garden, so cute :) Curious though about what happened with Gym buddy?

Hi just wanted to say hello & subscribe to your diary. :wavey: I've just been reading it & think with the shifts you do it must be hard to stay on plan but I'm sure you'll do it. I use to have Depo & it certainly make those pounds sneak on. Hope you're having a fab weekend :D

4lb you'll do it! I have confidence in you. Great motivation :D

Yay well done! :)

I'm sure once * week is out of the way you'll have a big loss next week to make up for it. x :)

Oh no, it's so frustrating when that happens. Have you changed anything recently? Although sometimes I just feel blah & those weeks I never lose anything. I'm sure that next week it will be straight back off & a couple of others too. :bighug:

Sounds like you are doing great with the exercise. With all the toning you're doing you're going to lose loads of inches as well as pounds. I'm sure it will be worth it :)

Well done on this weeks loss and on getting into the next stone bracket. I bet it feels great :)

Thank you for your encouragement each week, I really appreciate it :)

Yay 2lb off is an excellent result. Well done :) I'm sure the salad challenge will give you an even bigger loss next week!

Good morning everyone, looks like another sunny day :wavey: It's 1lb off for me today, really thought I might have sneaked a 2 but I'm happy to be edging closer to my 3st award :) Good luck today :D

Well 1lb off for me. I was hoping for 2 as (for me) I've been good this week lol Still a loss is a loss & I'm happy. It's one step nearer my 3 st award :D

Thanks bubble :) I'll have to get to h&b at the weekend

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking but what's scan bran? I'm doing sw online and I've never heard of it. Your recipe sounds so nice I'd love to try it. Carrot cake is my favourite :)

Hi Orla Good luck at WI tonight & hope it's good news about your Mam x

OMG I've just seen that you've reached target!!!! That's awesome! (even if you did sneak it in on a Monday WI lol) Congratulations I knew you'd get there soon :winner: :flowers::flowers::flowers: :winner:

I totally agree with everything Mandy has said. You're doing amazing especially considering the stress you're under. Your stats are fantastic & speak for themselves. I lost 3.5 stone a couple of years ago after my Mam died & then put it all back + a bit when my Dad died. It's taken me a long...

Hello & welcome to you both. Think with this fab weather we're all going to have a really good week :D

Wow well done that's fantastic. You are going to look amazing at your wedding :winner:

Bacon & fish & chips are evil. Well done with a pound off :)

Hi everyone. I finally made it here after losing 2lb yesterday. It's taken me longer than I'd hoped but very excited & hoping that things are going to start moving again for me. Nice to see so many faces I recognise :D

I'm going to move down to a new group today. I'll miss your support but hopefully won't be long until you join me :grouphugg:

You've made a great start, well done :)

You've done great since you started. I'm sure that next week you'll get a big loss to make up for this week :grouphugg:

I'm sure you'll get there soon. I love the pic of you in the blue dress, you look amazing :D

2lb off! Woohoo! :bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance:

2lb off! :bliss: Woohoo! Good luck everyone :D

Good luck everyone. Lets hope for a good start to the weekend :greenapple:

Yay I've just got my Platinum award! I'm sooo happy :talk017:

Well done that's a great result :) I hope I can catch up soon

Good luck with WI tonight :)

Well done, that's a great loss this week :D

An inch or two loss after just two weeks is fantastic! I've been going to gym for 2 months now. Since 18/4 I've lost 1.5 inches off my hips, 2 off my waist & 2 off my bust. So if you've got inch loss already you're going to see an amazing result at the end of the 10 weeks! :character00115:

Good to have you back. Looking forward to hearing more wedding updates :) Well done on keeping up with T25, it sounds like a really challenging programme. How many weeks is it in total?

Options hot chocolate?

STS this week. I'm not surprised, to be honest I was expecting a lot worse. I've had a couple of meals out & made bad choices. I seem to have lost my way. I know what I should be doing but I just don't do it. I'm going to gym 4 or 5 times a week & seem to think that means I can eat & drink...

I'm sure you'll get it next week, you're doing really well :clap:

Sorry to hear you haven't been well Lisa. I hope you're feeling better now. I'm sure that next week you'll get a big loss to make up for it x :)

That's fantastic! I knew it wouldn't take you long. Well done :party0038:

Well done Tanya :D

Well done! I knew you'd do it :D

It's great when buying clothes gets easier, even better when they are a bargain! Well done on the new dress size :D

The pigeon looks delicious. Love the hat, so cute :)

It is very difficult when the scales don't show a loss but don't give up. I don't know how you've been doing recently but I'm sure that if you have been losing weight you can keep doing it. Have you been doing anything different this week? :bighug: Why just 2 weeks to lose it?

You're doing amazing! :)
