You amazing genius- thank you!

Half a pound off. Half of me feels annoyed it wasn't more- the other half is relieved because I went out on Saturday night (30 syns) and had a whole bag of peanuts on Wed&Thursday! This week definately cutting syns back!

I live with my Mum and Dad and cat, and when I do online shopping (usually Sainsbury's) we spend about £80 a week on shopping. We usually get our fruit and veg from Lidl/Aldi which is quite a bit cheaper but we're taking advantage of the first online shop deals at the moment

I have the same problem. During the afternoon I constantly have food on my mind. Maybe try having a later lunch? I snack on bananas in the afternoon, as I find them the most filling fruit.

Currently at the top end of the 11 stone bracket. Cannot wait to see my weight start with a 10. It's been my dream weight for so long and I'm close now! :)

I know, I was so happy. I mean, it was elasticated so wasn't too tight, but I couldn't believe it! I ended up getting a size 10 in the end, which I was ecstatic with because I've managed to go from a size 16 :)

I think it will sort itself out, don't be disheartened by a gain. I've had losses of about 3Ib in a week where I've strayed off plan, and similarly gains when I've stuck to it. I think the body and weight are so variable throughout the week that when you weigh your self its a bit arbitrary, it's...

I picked up a size 8 dress which was on a size 12 hanger and it still fit!

They usually have good meat offers (my mum was telling me that last week they had whole chickens on offer for £1.99 (she bought 6 :')) Their fruit range is good. I went in today and bought a pineapple for about 70p, a squash for about 60p and peppers 2 for £1. It's my local shop so I know quite...

6Ib!!!

Laurenypop that's incredible, I hope to follow in your footsteps. I'm still very much a beginner runner- at the moment I can run 4k, hope to push that up to 5k in the next couple of weeks. Still pretty slow (12:20 minute mile) but at the moment I'm really not bothered, just happy to be...

are jelly babies just regular jelly babies or are they a slimming world thing?

Take each day as it comes, follow the plan and your weight will come off, and as has been said set achievable interim targets. Also, try setting non weight related targets: such as fitting into an old piece of clothing, being able to walk/jog a bit longer, drinking more water.

100% today and yesterday!

I came back from first year at uni, knowing I'd put on a bit of weight with takeaways and alcohol etc, but I didn't really know how much. My mum asked me if I wanted to come to SW with her, but I thought she was being a bit ridiculous because "I hadn't put on that much weight". Then bearing this...

Yeah, I've been good recently, but when I'm bad I'll eat a whole bag of sweets/big bar of chocolate/pack of biscuits with the reasoning that once its gone I can start to behave again. Funny how we manage to justify and ignore things like that. I always try to keep my diary accurate now. I've...

I aim to have between 5-15 a day. If I go over one day then the next I'll only have about 3-5. On the average day I probably have about 9. I can't say how syn amounts affect weight loss but a couple of years ago I did slimming world over the summer. I lost quite a bit of weight on it but I...

Sonyam I freeze baked goods out of fear of eating them all in one go (which I happily will). For some reason the fact they're frozen gives me a kind of mental block and I'll stop eating. I've frozen cupcakes and flapjacks before and they've defrosted just fine.

Thank you! That lemon meringue recipe is gonna satisfy a craving!

This sounds so good!

This is amazing, you're an excel wizard!!

These look amazing. Definitely going on my to make list!

I want to reach 70kg (11 stone). My friend compained to me how she's now 70kg, the heaviest she's ever been in her life. That's my goal, so that felt like a kick in the teeth.

I've just started running (I can only run about 5k, I'm no expert) but my main tip is to go slowly. Run at half the speed you want to go in an ideal world. I can go further and get less tired if I take it easy, and the more you run the faster you'll get with time.

I hated Into The Wild, which is a pretty unpopular opinion among my friends, but I've never come across a protagonist who made me so angry. He was so selfish, and such a massive pretentious arrogant snob the entire film. I couldn't sleep that night because I was so angry!

The thought of treating myself never even crossed my mind. I prefer to think of Slimming World as a change of diet, not a diet that I can 'cheat'. Weigh in is just to track my progress, not the main event. If anything weigh in motivates me even more, and especially after image therapy.
