3lb off for me, almost half of the Christmas gain off... happy with that :) Here's to another great week! :D

Me, me, me!!! Really struggling with temptation this week. After giving in to whatever I fancied last week I really can't get my head back in the zone, cravings for all sorts of naughtiness, been good so far and went back to Zumba last night. Really really need a good loss this week. Also being...

Hi. I had great intentions for Christmas, I was going to have a few treats Christmas day and boxing day then get back on plan to minimise the damage. It didn't quite work out like that unfortunately and at weigh in on new years day I had a gain of 6.5lbs!! I'm not going to beat myself up about...

Hi, I have 3 girls (5, 4 & 2) and I'm also aware of not wanting to give them the wrong idea about dieting and body image. Extra easy is so good for family meals. My husband has done SW alongside me and we always have meals together as a family and they're none the wiser. On the occasion my...

Quite an impressive Christmas gain of 6.5lb for me!! 100% today though and from now on... Got that target in my sights!

Weighed in this evening and lost a pound - amazing after the drinks and treats I've already had!! Wonder what will happen next week?! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Got my 5.5 stone award tonight and I'm into the 12s, yay!!!! It's taken 11 weeks to get from 5 to 5.5 stone, major plateau, I'm so happy to have got here before Christmas!! 7lbs to 6 stone award and only 13.5lbs to TARGET!!!

Half a pound off for me and my 5.5 stone award!!! So happy to get it before Christmas, it's been soooo long since my last award I really had to work to get this bugger! Weigh in is Tuesday next week, not sure what will happen, short week and there will be a few drinks this weekend. Not worried...

I only need half a pound this week to get my next award, so I reeeeally want that but would be happier if it was more!!! Fingers crossed, good luck everyone!!

Absolutely, I'm still going to enjoy Christmas 3 sizes smaller than last year! As long as I get to target by February when it will be 1 year since joining I'll be very happy :)

Thank you! 8 stone is amazing!!! I really hope you get those 2lb off before Christmas, seems achievable but I know how things slow down, it's been over 2 months since my last award! When we did our Christmas wish in group I put "Target" because I worked out I'd need 2 lbs a week, now I realise I...

One stone to target! Not long now!! First... half a pound for my 5.5 stone award which has been a long time coming, fingers crossed for next week.

2.5lbs off for me! Wahooooooooo!!! Annoyingly half a pound away from my next award but I am back in the game, feeling good and exactly one stone to target. Bring. It. On.

Well I've eaten them now! They are slightly different, more 'meaty' and the rosemary is less strong. Still fab and hopefully syn free!! My consultant just said they're still free according to the app so they should be fine.

Hi, I bought some Linda's red onion and rosemary sausages for later and noticed they're in a new box and say 'improved recipe', anyone know for sure if they are still free? I know things can change and would be gutted if they were now synned!! Any ideas how to find out for sure? Thanks :)

So, the weight may not be shifting at the moment but bought some Gap jeans at the weekend - never done that before and a size 14, oh yes!! Even tried on a 12, got them on and done up but just a bit too much mummy tummy over the top for that just yet!! 3 sizes down, feeling good

Reeeeeaaally hoping that big loss is coming!!! This is the 4th week so hoping it happens soon!!

Thanks :) I'm sticking with what I know for now, it's a month now since I joined the gym so that explains it for the last few weeks, it's just hard when I'm sticking to plan and not seeing much progress. I've lost 3.5lbs in the last 9 weeks!! Keeping everything crossed that things pick up again...

Half a pound off for me, getting a bit fed up of this major plateau I've hit and I'm being SO good. Fingers crossed things pick up again soon...

1lb gain for me, not to worry though, it's down to the exercise as I've been a good girl :)

For perfect rice just cook in pan with double the amount of water. So for me, hubby and three children one mug of rice, two mugs boiling water, veggie stock cube (if you want), stir, lid on, turn down to lowest and cook for 10 mins. Don't touch, stir, take lid off, just believe!! When the time...

1 lb off for me, frustratingly slow now but better off than on so I'll take it! Two weeks into the gym so lucky to have a loss at all apparently. I did change into my lightest trousers especially so that probably helped!! ;) ToriaP1 - if I went from morning to evening weigh in I'd gain 4 lbs...

Poo. Always hard, all part of the journey. At least it's only half a pound, you'll easily have that off again and more next week. :bighug:

Haven't been organised enough this week to try it yet but would love to know how you get on eieioo. Have been on plan 100% and stuck to my exercise so I know I'm being good but pretty sure the scales won't be budging tonight...

I have always been the same, and if it's not food for comfort it was wine!! It takes a lot of strength not to turn to the old treats when you're stressed out, but try and include what you really want into your syns, like make room for chocolate or crisps if that's what you want. I have...

Took me 2.5 stone to go down from a 20 to an 18!! Then another 1.5 before I bought my first 16. Everyone's different, different heights and shapes will change at a different pace. My consultant (a man) says roughly a stone to a dress size which is a bit misleading! Also it is probably quite...

Thank you ladies, it has only been a couple of weeks of exercise so that will probably be one reason but things had definitely slowed down before I started, that's what pushed me to get off my backside! I will have a look at some success express recipes, never tried it before because wasn't...

Hi all, I may well be just menstrual and miserable today but I've realised that it's 6 weeks now since I got my 5 stone award and I've only lost 3 lbs since then. Things have definitely plateaued. I haven't really gone off plan at all, just the odd treat. I had high hopes of getting to target by...

Well done everyone! 1lb off for me, not bad considering I've upped the exercise, it's totm and I couldn't resist the meatballs and chips in ikea on Saturday!! Came 2nd in Miss Slinky, hated talking in front of a huge group of people but feel very honoured to be voted for. Have great weeks :) xxx

Well done you for staying to group and for your determination to stick at this, it will get you far!! As the others have said already, totm - definitely has an effect, no matter how good I've been I struggle to get a loss if weigh in falls on the day before or first day of my period. Sometimes...

Well, I'm not expecting much at weigh in tomorrow after some serious exercising this week, but something amazing happened today... I went to buy some sportswear and after trying everything on bought a size 14 bottoms and medium top and bra, that's 12-14! Apart from confirming my boobs have...

Thank you all. I'm very happy with the weight I've lost and the time had definitely come to start toning up, after 3 babies and years of being overweight I'm left with plenty of wobbly bits! Not expecting any miracles but was wondering how exercise effects losses as I do still have a stone to...

So I successfully lost 5 stone by following SW alone, now I've signed up to the gym! I've had my induction and so far have done 3 full sessions - every other day, today I'm trying zumba and still hope to fit in at least one more visit to the gym and maybe a swim before next Thursday's weigh in...

Fresh start will do you a world of good. You'll get that 12lb off by Christmas easily. Good luck!

1 lb off for me this week, a very slow month here... going to really push the exercise this week. Here's to a huge loss in November!!

3.5 lbs is a great loss, glad it worked and saved you from a 0 for October :)

I've had a month like that too :(

Hi, took me 33 weeks to lose 5 stone, haven't made much more progress these last few weeks, a few treats and I think things may be slowing down now I have less to lose. The half stone awards in group definitely kept me going and I do wish I'd measured at the start to know how many inches I'm losing.

I was "given" 20 syns a day when I started too but never felt comfortable going over the 15. It was never really explained and I certainly had no idea when that should change to 15 so I just used it as you said; as a sort of cushion that if I went over 15 then I didn't worry about it. Generally...

1.5lb off for me, so that's last week's gain off :) Onwards and downwards!!

Eek, it's here again! Good luck everyone!! Been 100% this week so hope it shows later. Got my gym induction this morning, feeling a bit nervous but I've signed up now, time to get on with it!!

Hi, mine definitely didn't go as brown and crispy as in the picture in the time it said, I just gave it an extra 5 mins then ate it as it was! Still tasty :) I was worried if I fried it it might fall apart. Next time I will try a spray of fry light to see if that helps it crisp up.

I've had the rosti, gammon and egg stacks and the tuna pasta bake and they were both awesome!! The pasta bake was enormous! Definitely going to make the jalfrezi too. Not sure I've made anything from the magazine before so you're right there are loads of good recipes in this one.

Thank you, I am gutted as I was feeling so positive last week but I did go to a friends house for dinner Saturday and went very 'off plan', I was hoping I would get away with it because I was really good the rest of the week, and was feeling good after my husband put a pic of us all dressed up...

Thank you, I am ON IT this week, even measured my milk out this morning, and I haven't done that since the first week!!!

Wow, so many huge losses this week!!! Gutted to let the side down with a 1.5 lb gain :'(

Amazing!!! Well done, what a way to start!!

Wow!! Just looked at your before and after pictures and you look AMAZING!!! What a fantastic achievement you should be very proud!! Inspiring! xx

Awesome advice from SallyVater, you have done so well and I know it is really hard to be so good and see a gain, but you've lost 3 stone and that is amazing!!! You've gained a pound, probably because it's that time of the month - happens to me too - and you've been poorly? This will have an...

Yay!!! Huge well done, it's been quite a week for you!! Did you get awards too?! 2 stone and club 10? Amazing!! Got to wait til 7.30 til I weigh in, don't have such high hopes this week, been good all week apart from Saturday's dinner at friends, bread and butter, wine and oh, the homemade...

Well done for joining! You can do it, it is easy to get your head round the plan and with some planning ahead and a good shop you'll be well on your way. That first week loss is generally a big one and should give you all the incentive you need to keep going. Also the awards in group every half...

Awesome news ohhowiwish, you should feel very proud and enjoy that feeling!! Going down a size has to be one of the best feelings ever, definite proof that the weight is going. I'm on the verge of a new size again and I am very excited about it!! ;)

I've set mine at the top end of the healthy bmi for my height. I'm hoping I will be a size 14. When I reach target that will be almost 6.5 stone off and that's enough for me! There's plenty of time to lower that target in future, I'm planning to carry on attending group as a target member as I...

Wow Toria, 9lbs is an amazing loss, keep on it!!! Sarah, good luck for your first week hun, that number will soon get smaller. Seems like yesterday I came on here envious of people's 2, 3, 4 stones off, can't believe how far I've come!!

Me, me, me!!! I've lost just over 5 stone now and for all I've talked about upping the exercise and had every intention to - bought a bike 2nd hand, been for the odd swim, had a tour of the local gym, I haven't actually done very much!! We had a different consultant last week who said you...

Ooh, I like it! That's almost a stone and a half!! Well done us! :party0011::party0011::party0011:

Well done all :) 2lb off for me, very happy with that :D

Got my 5 stone award last week then slipped back to 4st 13.5lb this week! First goal then, lose that gain this week!! Next stop 5.5 stone, which will also bring me into the 12s!!! Amazing! Then only one more stone to Target!!! I'm hoping my target weight will mean a dress size 14, will have to...

Well done everyone. 1lb gain for me this week, so my naughty Saturday caught up with me. At least I know why, and I enjoyed it!! I think I deserved a few drinks after getting my 5 stone award last week (though the portion of chips after was clearly pushing it!!). Onwards and downwards...

I have chocolate and crisps most days!! I try and stay syn free all day then in the evening when kids are in bed I have my treats. A fudge - 5.5syns, or lower syn (if needed) choc fudge alpen light 2.5 syns, a mug of hot chocolate - Cadburys Highlights 2 syns, and a packet of Walkers Pops - 4...

3lb off and my FIVE STONE AWARD!!! :party0019: I ♥slimming world!

I don't really eat lamb but when I need lean pork mince I just buy lean pork steaks, chop off any fat and chuck it in the food processor. Syn free mince!

Love it. I lost 3 lbs this week, that's a lot of sausages!!! :D

Great losses everyone! 3lbs off for me, very happy with that, feel like I'm back on track :)

The new one, extra easy express! I bought it last week and tried three recipes already, all can be made in 30 mins or less so dead easy!! It's a big book so loads in there. I also have Fakeaways and the Little Book of Lunches, I use them both regularly. SW recipes are way better than I expected...

A maintain is better than a gain!!! Sounds like it could be the exercise and your body retaining water, in which case it will show in a week or two, as long as you stick to it! Sometimes hormones can interfere too, I gained half a pound last week and think it was down to being due on. Don't...

Are you working out how many syns you're actually having on your Saturday nights? It might be way more than you think. It's hard when you feel so disheartened but you really should stick at it a bit longer before you decide if it's for you or not, if you've paid for 6 weeks you may as well...

Thank you Ian, I don't want to reduce my syns I'm just struggling after 2 gains when I have been 100% on plan. My consultant was away this week so will have to see what happens on Thursday, fingers crossed things improve.

Yes, but a night off and a few treats is a normal thing to do to cheer yourself up, life is for living and if you feel like you're depriving yourself aren't you more likely to give up altogether? A planned treat, then carrying on back on plan would work for me, maybe not for everyone.

Sounds to me like that's how long you can tolerate the structure of the eating plan. It's hard to keep motivated and stick to plan all the time and natural to think you want to give up. But giving up won't lose any more weight. Why not have a treat night or a weekend off, enjoy being off plan...

When I started I was told I could have 20 syns a day, based on my weight and how much I had to lose. No explanation as such, I think the little card machine probably said so! I have generally stuck to below 15 syns a day, always have, usually about 12. Recently my Bmi went below 30 making me no...

I think you are probably right. It makes sense that you should be able to count the milk as a hex a. I don't know the volume of the coffee (or how much skimmed milk makes a hex a!) But you're right that healthy extras usually are about 6 syns each, so I think you've worked it out right.

Gained 0.5 lb this week and I've been totally on plan. Done lots of walking too with school runs back on so don't understand it. Only thing I can think is I've had this horrible cough and cold, does being ill have an effect? My losses have really slowed down and I've been really good. Feeling...

↑↑↑ agreed, way more important to be comfortable and enjoy the day. Good luck dress shopping and hope you find something lovely. Those dresses will fit one day xx

1.5lb off this week, so happy it's going the right way again. Need a good loss this week to keep up my motivation, 5lbs to next award...

A bit late but a sneaky 1/2 lb gain for me this (last) week, was completely on plan but have been very lazy. All good intentions to be more active this week but now I have a stinking cold and am struggling...

I don't use it often, I tend to have cereal as my hexb, when I do buy bread I struggle to get through a loaf before it goes mouldy - how times have changed!! Someone in my consultant's FB group actually contacted SW about it and they said that if you weigh out 60g then you absolutely can use it...

I noticed this the other day when I weighed out bread to make breadcrumbs and went back to check my book. It does say 60g of any wholemeal bread, I think the one big/two small slice must be just a guide, rather than weighing out odd bits of bread! Similar to this is the Kingsmill Great White...

Scotch eggs! Look up 'special scotch eggs' on SW website, only 1.5 syns and super filling and tasty. Chicken drumsticks (skin off), pasta salad - also lots of options on website. Houmous - tin of chick peas, clove of garlic, juice of half a lemon, dollop of fat free yogurt, salt and pepper and...

Everyday! Often more than once a day too. It fluctuates wildly which is fascinating, I just can't help but have a look! I wish my weigh in was in the morning, I would be a few pounds ahead!!! :D

Thank you Mollymolly. My consultant called me this morning and and I don't qualify for next round as I miss the max weight criteria by 2lbs. I'm actually relieved if I'm honest, I found last night rather emotional just talking about my journey as it is such a personal thing. I feel hugely...

Well, lots achieved at last night's weigh in. Now in the 13s, so my bmi is below 30 - 10 points off where I started and no longer obese! Got my 4.5 stone award as well as group Woman of the Year!!! Next goals then. 6lbs off for 5 stone award. Up the exercise.

Congratulations to the winners and nominees... I was voted Woman of the Year by my group this evening, still shocked!! My consultant told me I will qualify for the next round having lost over 4 stone, he said the time I have lost it in is a factor too. Where can I find out more? He also said if...

3lbs off for me, into the 13s, my bmi is now below 30 making me no longer obese, got my 4.5 stone award and group Woman of the Year!! Regional final here I come!!! :party0011::party0011::party0011:

5 and a half pounds loss this week, hell yeah!!! 2 pounds away from my next award :D

Hi all. I was away on holiday last week so back to group with a 1lb gain this week. I can live with that and it'll soon be off again. :)

Last night I got my 4 stone award. Amazed to get it this week after a big weekend, away on holiday next week so first goal is not to gain while away... Then to get down to 14 stone (6lbs away) which will bring my bmi below 30 and into the 'overweight' rather than 'obese' category. :D Half a...

Despite a very indulgent weekend, I lost 2lbs this week and got my 4 stone award! Very happy with that :D :D

1.5 off for me this week, so I didn't get to my 4 stone before this weekend's big wedding, but 1.5 lb away isn't bad!! (I shall be telling anyone who asks that I've lost 4 stone anyway) There will be a day or two very much off plan this weekend so anything could happen next week!!

Wow, some great losses, well done! Couldn't make group this week but weighed in at home and lost 2lb. Only 3lbs to go for my 4 stone award, I really want to get that next week...

I think although exercise is not strictly part of the plan on SW and you don't earn extra syns from it as with WW, surely any exercise you are doing alongside can only improve your losses. Even if what is motivating you to do it is to allow for a night off, meal out or whatever, if it works for...

Ooh no, it's only 5 lbs to go... even better!!!

Very good week... bought a dress in a 16 for a wedding in a couple of weeks, (started out a size 20), lost 3 lbs getting me my 3.5 stone, 50 lbs lost so a 'half century' and into the 14s, next goal is 4 stone award!!! 6lbs to go, get it off!!!

Lost 3 lbs this week so got my 3.5 stone, I've lost 50 lbs for a 'half century' and another lb to boot. Wonder if I can get to 4 stone before the wedding, 2 more weigh ins, 5 lbs to go... it's possible!! And I had free week because it's 10 weeks since I got my club 10! I ♥ slimming world!!!

3lbs off and my 3.5stone award. Very happy :)

I breastfed all three of mine and it made me ravenous!! Particularly in the early months when your body is producing more and more milk, as someone has already mentioned it burns 500 calories a day. I never did SW at the same time and ate loads of the wrong things. I think you are doing amazing...

Imagine what a 14 will feel like!!! I don't think I've been a size 14 since I was 14! Can't even imagine any smaller...

Thank you everyone, I was so excited to buy that dress I had to 'shout' about it somewhere! Still 3 weigh ins before the wedding, eyes on the prize!! Off to look for shoes... xx

My trigger for joining SW when I did was a family wedding coming up in July, I really wanted to lose weight so I could wear something nice. There will be lots of beautiful (thin) young ladies there and I didn't want to be the big fat mother of the bridesmaid! My aim was to get down to a size 16...

Clothes shopping! Buying something because it looks nice rather than because it'll hide this or that. Walking into any shop in the knowledge they will have my size. And actually wearing nice clothes with confidence. Already enjoyed trying on dresses for family wedding coming up and finding the...

I was very bloated and windy for the first few weeks, and still now occasionally. I presumed it was down to the changes in diet and lots of extra fruit and veg. If it is related to what you're eating it should settle. No harm in talking to your gp if you're worried. Hope it gets better x

Well done everyone! 3lbs off for me this week, yay! :)

Ok... got my 3 stone award last night, next stop 3.5 - 6lbs to go which will also get me into the 14s. Then another lb will mean I have lost 50lb!! Going to a wedding in July and I would really like to lose another stone before then and would really love to drop another dress size and buy...

4.5lb off this week and my 3 stone award!! Very happy lady! :happy036::happy036:

Thank you! Got that 3 stone award in my sights... :)

STS for me this week, bit annoying after a week totally on plan but I expected it, had that mid month bloated feeling... hopefully catch up next week. Well done everyone :)

If I can lose 3.5lb this week, as I have the last two weeks, I'll get my 3 stone award! Even if it's not this week it's very close :) Bought myself a bike yesterday, body magic here I come :D

3.5lb off again this week, very happy with that :)

You've already had great replies but just to add your target weight is your decision! If you are happy then the graphs, numbers, whatever mean nothing. I find it fascinating to look through the slimming world magazine where on one page someone is at target looking amazing and they are 14stone...

Got my 2.5 stone award last night and into the 15s!! Next goal 3 stone! 7lbs to go and counting.... I love slimming world!!!

3.5lb off for me this week getting me my 2.5 stone award!! :party0011::party0011::party0011: Next stop 3 stone, eeeeeek!!!

2lb off for me this week, was hoping for more to make up for last weeks gain but very happy with a loss!! Well done everyone, have good weeks!

I lost 2lb this week. Was hoping for more and was 100% on plan, but glad I got the gain off. So scan bran didn't exactly boost my weight loss this time. Will try again one day but maybe only for 4 days.

Thank you and thank you!! I'm getting my head around the gain, I do weigh during the week and things were looking good, so I think maybe in future I'd go for 4 or 5 days of scan branning and no more. Thanks so much, I'm glad I posted this now, feeling better already :)

It could be a coincidence, I really, really hope to be telling you about a big loss next week!

Oh I experienced it! Come to think of it, perhaps not so much the last couple of days. I drink squash by the pint and had a full pint for every scan bran, plus what I would normally have in between. I was up for the cleansing of the insides and actually quite enjoyed eating them, so when it...

Don't think it could be hormonal, just really annoying!! Well, I didn't buy a bottle of wine on the way home from weigh in and I really wanted to!! Sticking to plan, just in a bad mood!

I've been drinking loads, a pint of squash per scan bran and more!! I usually drink a lot anyway so I made sure I had LOADS. Will keep it up to flush out what's left too. First gain so it's really hit me hard, especially as scan bran is supposed to boost losses!!

Our c set us the scan bran challenge last week, was happy to give it a go, 5 a day, didn't mind eating them, made sure I had a large glass of squash for every scan bran, and at weigh in I gained 1.5lbs. First time I've gained and I'm absolutely gutted :( I'm going to keep up the water for a...

1.5lb gain for me, gutted because I don't know why, did scan bran challenge last week, could that have caused a gain? Back on plan and back to normal for me and hope I get it off and plenty more next week. :(

Got my 2 stone award last week, yay! Next goal: 4lbs off will get me my 2 and 1/2 stone award and also into the 15s.

Hi, scan bran challenge is to eat 5 scan bran a day as your healthy b for a week, the extra fibre along with lots of extra water help to boost weight loss by clearing out your system. A lot of people find them too disgusting to eat but I quite enjoyed mine yesterday!! Prepared to stick at it to...

Hi Lella, I am allowed 20 syns too, it's worked out on your start weight or possibly bmi, I don't know what the boundaries are but your height and starting weight are very close to mine so you could be allowed the same. I rarely use up to 15 syns but it's nice to know the flexibility is there :)...

Well done everyone! 3.5lb off for me this week, very happy with that, got my 2 stone award that I just missed out on last week. This week I am taking on the scan bran challenge!! We'll see what the results are next week, just had my first two, not half as bad as I was expecting but I feel full...

I would highly recommend the SW Little Book of Lunches. I was stuck for lunch ideas too but there's loads of tasty things in there. There's also ideas for jacket potato topping and sandwichy things. Today I had a very quick and easy tuna pasta salad with sweetcorn, cucumber and grated carrot...

Well done! You have to have attended group and lost or maintained the week before to get SOTW, shame you missed out. There's always next week!!!

How frustrating! Maybe your success express week you weren't eating enough? So the half pound is your body retaining water? Are you exercising more? That can interfere with losses too until you get used to it. How are your hormones? My weight loss is definitely affected by my time of the month...

Needed 2lb to get my 2 stone and lost 1.5, aaaargh!!! Definitely getting it next week!!! (think I said that last week!) I did get Slimmer of the Month though which was a nice surprise, and won a very special key ring for Winning Losers ;)

Never very confident in leggings! Has to be with a top almost down to the knees! They make me self conscious, not sure I have the legs for them really. Generally my weight is from the waist down, so probably the last place to get slimmer will be the legs, seeing more difference on the top...

Thank you all, I was having such a down day yesterday, and the daily chore of finding something half decent to wear was just extra depressing! Generally I find charity shops are lacking in 'plus' sizes - like most other shops!! So this morning nothing else was clean so I rammed myself into the...

:party0019:Amazing! Well done!

So, I've lost almost 2 stone and a lot of my clothes are starting to get big, even my belt has run out of holes!! So, this should be a good thing, right?! I didn't rush in to buying smaller clothes but was feeling scruffy in baggy jeans. So, the jeans and trousers I wear most are both too big...

Have a look on the sw website for other cereal bars you can have, there are a few and if you go to group there's always hifi bars ;)

Morrisons have 2 boxes for £3 for stocking up on the 'old' ones. As long as they say 70 calories they're good, new ones are 90.

Got my Club 10 tonight, yay! 2lbs to go to get my 2 stone award so really hoping to get that next week!!

3.5 lb off this week getting me Club 10 and slimmer of the week!! 2lb to go til 2 stone award!!!

Wow, great loss well done! STS for me but I'm more than happy with that. I weighed midweek after the weekend away and had gained 3 lbs so very happy to have got it off again. You're right there's often no rhyme or reason to it, I've had 6lb losses then STS all on plan, makes no sense!! Right...

STS for me, I'm happy with that after 3 days off plan. When I weighed midweek after weekend away I had gained 3lbs so I managed to get it off again, very pleased.

I will be amazed with a loss tonight too, but you never know... start of a fresh week and all that! Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine and hopefully pleasantly surprised!!

A pound off is still a loss so you turned it around after the naughty weekend, that's great! I've stuck to very low syns since Monday, hoping it's enough to avoid a gain - wi is tonight!! Not much in the way of exercise, had a migraine for two days so just entertaining my 3 girls was hard work...

Managed a 30 min dvd yesterday, I have 3 young children so hard to find time, need to find a nice dancy one like zumba and see if I can get them to do it with me! Sun is shining today so scooters out for them and a good walk for me I think. Maybe get on the trampoline with them too!! If I gain...

Thank you coughdrops, had a fab weekend, now for some serious damage limitation before Thursday's weigh in... This weeks goal is not to have a gain, but if I do, it was so worth it!!!

Me, me, me!! Been away for my birthday Friday - Sunday, had a fab time and some lovely lovely meals (and several cocktails) but now I need to do some serious damage limitation!! Weigh in is Thursday night for me so hoping I have time to undo any damage! Seriously syn free, super free and super...

Lost 6lb this week so got my 1 1/2 stone and now into the 16s, way sooner than expected!! Only set those goals last week! Next... 3.5lbs off to get Club 10, then another 2lbs and I'll have lost 2 stone! Away this weekend for my birthday so certainly not expecting either of those next week...

6lb off for me this week!!! Got my 1 1/2 stone award - wasn't expecting that at all, only got my 1 stone last week! It's my birthday tomorrow and off to London for a child free weekend so a great start to the weekend, feel like I can relax and enjoy a few drinks, actually feel like celebrating...

Fab, well done you! I'm down to the last hole on my belt!

:party0011::party0011::party0011: Wow, what an achievement! Congratulations!!

Got my 1 stone award last night, very happy with that :) Next goal, 4.5lbs off to get my 1.5 stone and into the 16s :D

3.5lb off for me this week, yay! 1 stone award and I won the raffle!! ;)

Lost 1lb this week, happy with that rather than sts again! Only 1lb away from my 1 stone now, that's definitely coming off this week!! Really good losses everyone, big well done x

Vanilla mullerlight with blueberries and raspberries, mmmm, and Cadburys Highlights Fudge flavour :D

STS for me... don't get it, have been 100% on plan, low syns all week bar one day with 2 glasses of wine. Hope to make it up next week.

Wow, some really great losses today! :woohoo: Weigh in's not 'till 7.30 for me, thinking positive!!

I'm hoping for 2lb this week to get my 1 stone award :fingerscrossed:

Amazing!!! :party0019:

Top tip! I would rather have the real thing and count the syns than an imitation that might be disappointing, saying that, I have found cadbury's highlights hot chocolate definitely satisfies a chocolatey urge and only 2 syns. The fudge flavour is my favourite. Also choc fudge alpen light bars...

A good week, very much on plan despite feeling like poo and full of cold. :sick: Walked past Costa this morning and resisted a very strong urge to go in for hot chocolate and cake!! Really want 2lb off tomorrow to get my 1 stone :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

I'm writing it all down, I use the slimming world sheets, I find it useful to see the amount of free to superfree foods I'm having as well as keeping track of syns over the whole week, so I can feel happy if I've had a high syn day that I can balance it out over the other days. I liked the idea...

Love this, look forward to my first comments!! :)

All good, and apart from the roll all free food so portion size doesn't matter, eat 'til your full!!

Absolutely, such amazing achievements!! :clap::clap:

I have treated myself to a dairy milk or two but bought the multipack so they're a bit smaller. Can you get a bag of mini cream eggs? Or would the rest of the bag be too tempting?! I find choc and fudge alpen bars satisfy the chocolate craving for fewer syns or a 'highlights' hot choc, the fudge...

Nobody in our group wanted a sponsorship form so we agreed to give ourselves, a small amount per pound lost so that a donation can be made at the end. Ours will be split between the local children's hospice and local food bank. All good motivation, good luck to you all :)

I wonder if you should be eating more, though I appreciate you lost your appetite, if you don't eat enough your body retains water so you won't see the loss. Try more free snacks to keep going. Mugshots are quick and easy and fill a hole. Also although your syns are low, it's often bread which...

Finding the right jeans has always been a struggle!! Where have you tried? I find Next jeans have lots of stretch and the sizing's quite generous compared to some. How frustrating for you, sounds like you should be well into the 16s with all those inches off!! I would say I'm pear shaped and...

You must be so happy, almost a stone and a half in two weeks, well done you!! You'll be off into the 16s next week?! First week in the 17s for me, very happy at 17st 8.5lb Happy slimming everyone ;)

Storming in to the 17s... See you there x

Thank you, fingers crossed! Congratulations to you too, greatest loser, what an awesome achievement!

Thank you all, what amazing losses I am truly inspired by you all! Very happy to have had a 6lb loss last night, feeling very much like it's possible and looking forward to wearing something nice for the wedding!! At least I'll be smaller than I am now!!

6lb off, 1/2 stone award and slimmer of the week!! Very happy!! :D

Thank you, that does help me try and figure it out :)

So, I've never been in the habit of weighing myself (until now) so don't really know where my goal weight is other than within the healthy range in terms of BMI. When I got married I got down to a size 16 but I have no idea what I weighed. Currently a size 20 and hoping to get back to a 16...

Hi, I'm new to this site too, I started SW a few weeks ago and found that anything I googled that was SW related brought me here so I joined! I have 6 stone to lose to bring me into the healthy weight range for my height, I'm doing it now because I've never dieted before, ate and drank whatever...

The STS really did throw me, more than I expected. Stuck to plan but had a feeling it wasn't shifting. I put it down to time of the month. But 6lbs the first week was great, gone for good! Your weight loss is amazing!!

Hi, I'm new to this site too, got my third weigh in tonight. I have never really dieted before, just ate and drank as I damn well pleased, now's the time to stop and get healthy. Loving slimming world, really into it now, fingers crossed the scales agree at tonight's weigh in!! Good luck xx

Thanks, I joined sw a few weeks ago, very happy with 6lb loss first week, then sts, need a loss tonight!!
