Sorry to hear about your Aunt Orla :( Big congrats for Greatest Loser! What an up & down week for you.. hopefully things get back to normal for you soon!

Just weighed in - lost 4.5lbs, the most I've ever done, VERY pleased with myself but now terrified I won't keep it off, no winning is there! :) Good luck everyone :)

Good luck for tomorrow everyone! I didn't update on here but I put on 2lbs last week (I did deserve it but still a kicker isn't it!), so have been a lot better this week. Sounds like you've got a lot on Orla, you'll get rid of that gain no problem, look how amazingly you've done so far!

Ah good luck Donna, hope goes well for you, but if not, it's just a week (or few weeks) out of a long old journey! Good luck everyone - I am expecting a hefty gain, was completely off plan for 3 days and over-indulged way too much with food & drink. Going to go and face the music at lunchtime...

I agree! Shellington, 2lbs on holiday isn't bad at all! Look at it this way, would you have rather not gone on holiday and stayed the same weight you were before? Holidays are worth a couple of lbs! :)

But you're back now and that's all that matters! 0.5lb up over all isn't much at all in the grand scheme of things. Good luck :)

Well done everyone on your losses, some really good ones! Ian - that beer is a bugger isn't it.. I am the same with cider. New week now and all that! :)

Thanks Orla, I have to say I was glad you are still on the forum when I logged back in, you always have wise words and advice! :) Hope you get back into your 12s today. Lunchtime weigh in for me, I feel like I've been really good and stuck to plan, so I will be dissappointed if I don't get a...

Just discovered this thread and I love it! If I read one more time that "nothing is banned" and that I can "eat as much as I like" I will go explode! I miss cake and chocolate bars, and the chip shop mainly. Oh and bakery goods! I could go on all day..

Hello Tuesday Weighers! I am back after a Slimming World hiatus, have had a few months off, and of course put a bit back on (not loads though luckily, I maintained with a bit of Fast Diet). Nice to see you're all still going strong, this will keep me motivated this time around hopefully!! Good...

That's so frustrating isn't it, when you fluctuate around a certain sticking point. Some people suggest doing a superspeed week or something to get it going, have you tried any of those type things? Good luck anyways! I have a similar problem, but around the 11st mark. If I could just stick to...

I know right! I was well chuffed! (although it's taught me nothing) How is yours going JessyG? Went to the cinema with a friend last night, we had KFC before, which we all know is terrible, but then I think it didn't agree with me as I was sick when I got home. Maybe my body is getting used to...

Yesterday ended up like this: Breakfast - muller light (bet you've missed these exciting updates) and a banana Lunch - a really nice salad I made at home - mango, beetroot, lettuce, cucumber, mozerella (HeA), tomatoes, sweetcorn Dinner - SW recipe "Baked Cannelloni" (the spinach and cottage...

That's brill Lumina! well done :)

I always do :) Just weighed in and I only put on 1lb, it makes NO sense!!

Good luck everyone today. And Orla hope you're ok :) x

7 stone! That's amazing!!! :D You can absolutely do it!

Hello everyone, I'm back (and fat, ha!). Hope you're all well? Holiday was good, been back a while and had some other stuff going on, so have been very, very off the wagon. Today is a new day and I'm off to get weighed at lunchtime to assess the damage, and am starting again :) Today is...

Good luck for your WI tomorrow! :) xx

Ah haven't been online for a couple of days, been super busy at work preparing to go away! Weigh in was fine, I stayed the same, happy with that. Am kinda off the wagon until I get back from Ibiza now. Have a great week ladies! xxxx

Yes that is very true. I've got clothes that a year ago I never would've been able to wear, so that's a victory isn't it! I'll just have to keep going when I get back from my holiday to try and get to target. I haven't packed no, but I am excited about doing so!!! Off to get weighed! Have a...

Hope you had a nice long weekend :) Sounds like you're doing really well, well done!! xx

Hello everybody :) Hope you had a lovely long weekend, it poured with rain here in Bristol, but I did drag my ass to the gym Sunday and Monday which I'm quite proud about. Ate quite a few very synned things and had a generally nice weekend. Last weight in today before holiday, so today was...

Today has gone as follows.. Breakfast - muller light (lol) and a banana Lunch - leftover cannelloni from last night, completely free :) Snacks - pear, cereal bar (heB) Dinner - I'M HAVING A CHINESE AND I'M NOT EVEN SORRY. Sorry about the caps. I'm excited.

Aw date night sounds lovely, have fun! :)

Yes that is an interesting point, I've seen a few posts about people calorie counting whilst still doing Slimming World, which stops the mindless eating of free things (like I often have mugshots just because I'm bored really, which isn't very sensible even though they count as "free"). All...

I don't understand all this WW jargon but it sounds like you're doing well :)

Oh I know! I love the Banana & Custard ones at the moment. THey're an easy brekkie though when I get into the office, can just eat one at my desk. Plus, I like to save healthy extras for snacks. How's the Pro Points going? xx

But you've come and updated and want to get back on it, and that's the start :) I'm the same, if I've not done a big shop I fall completely off.. so get to that supermarket and plan, plan, plan. (I can preach this stuff but can't flippin follow it myself!) Hope you have a good day :)

Hi Jessy, welcome to my very boring food diary :) if I write Muller Light down one more time I may go mental... Dinner last night wasn't cannelloni, I made the teriyaki salmon again because I LOVE IT (cooked an extra fillet so I could have it cold today for lunch too!). Breakfast today was...

You can do ittttt, but if you don't, there will be no sign of judging here, we all love the vino! :) x

Sorry, I didn't mean to depress you! And yes absolutely, it still gives huge benefits to your heart, your skin and your mental health :) I am SO impressed with your not drinking until your holiday.. you go girl!

Ah Happy Birthday Orla! Well done everyone, lots of nice losses! Bubbles, I agree with MelonCollie, write it off and start afresh, you can do itttttt :)

I am a bit obsessed with that teriyaki salmon (I LOVE soy sauce, so just bung that, lime juice, chilli and garlic all together, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!) Today's diary - Breakfast - muller light and a banana Lunch - homemade soup (swede, carrot, potato and parsnip with...

Oh I'm looking forward to hearing about how you get on with Slim Fast kfowler, I know you will but do keep us posted. I think I'd feel quite cheated out of food?! Good luck! :) Jessy you are so right, my old personal trainer once told me that weight wise, you're body is determined 80% by what...

Well done everyone, all going great guns! I forgot to update last week, whoops. Updated below :) *BethanyChey - 13.5lbs Lost, 7.5lbs to go *BlueCow - 7lb lost 28lb to go *BubblesAnseo - 5lbs lost 21.5lbs to go *Chrissygrech - 9.25 lbs lost 15.5 lbs to go *DollyRocker - 8lbs lost 13lbs to go...

Oh yes! Love a nice long weekend.. then (I don't want to rub it in BUTTTT) I'm off to Ibiza on the 31st, can't wait! Just weighed in. I lost 1.5lbs and I'm not really sure how?! I was thinking today that when I think I've been really bad, it's actually nothing in comparison to what I used to...

We are all really bad at weekends! (nice though aren't they!)

Ah I'm sorry to hear that Silvermoon, hopefully it'll set you up for a good loss this week instead! Hope you all had good weekends.. I stayed in on Friday night and made a batch of soup. Rock and roll. Was as per usual fairly off plan over the weekend but don't think I was TOO bad. Have got a...

Your food for yesterday looks good, I must try these tomato chicken pizzas! You've also inspired me to go to the gym tonight, I've been avoiding it all week!

Ah thanks kfowler, aren't you nice! I had a much better day - I stuck to plan and had a nice dinner of beef casserole with a jacket potato and lots of broccoli. So far today I've had blueberry wheats with milk, and a banana, and I'm feeling much better about things today! How are you? xx

Haha Silvermoon I love that you asked - I don't even want to tell you because you'll be disgusted.. I had 2 chocolate eclairs, 3 jam tarts and a Wispa Gold!!! :eek: Thank you kfowler, I know you're right with everything you said, I'm just really struggling at the moment! I haven't done any...

Hi everyone, Feeling really crap today, I absolutely sabotaged myself last night and basically binged. Loved it at the time but disgusted with myself today! I have just over 2 weeks till my holiday and I look horrible. I don't normally get like this so am annoyed with myself for being a bit...

Massive well dones Jess and Orla! You are fab! I agree with BrokenMirrors, it's inspiring to have some winners in here, will hopefully keep the rest of us on track :)

Haha thanks Mrscush, maybe you were in my head subliminally anyway! Realised I have spent way too much money this month, so on the plus side, I can't afford to buy much food for the rest of the month, haha! (I'm saving as much as possible for Ibiza on the 31st!)

Sounds like a plan! It's all about finding what works for you I guess. I wish I weighed on Fridays (I know it doesn't make any difference overall, but it just feels nicer, then I could blow out on Saturday and not feel like I'd undone my hard work!)!

Oh god BrokenMirrors that's so awful, I'm sorry to hear that. I've said this to people (and I think you at some point), some things are much bigger, and much more important than Slimming. Take the time you need and do what you have to do :)

Ah thanks Silvermoon! I don't think I've EVER had a 100% week, something always goes awry. Slow progress! I have found counting down on my syns keeps me on track a little better though, i.e starting with 105 syns per week and just taking them off, helps me to keep some in the "bank" if you will!

Hello :) I just subscribed to yours too! Those pesky weekends are hard for lots of us I think.. Wine is medicinal sometimes I think, I read in your diary about coming home after the BBQ and having a couple of glasses, it sounds like you obviously needed it. Then we just have to dust ourselves...

Subscribing :)

Thanks Snow, that sounds lovely! Yup the express group is great, I live right in the middle of Bristol and work in the centre, so it's useful as can just pop in at lunchtime, get weighed and go!

I only put on 0.5lbs! What a relief! All that walking around Paris was obviously pretty good for me and the wine etc. managed to work it's way off :) It's amazing isn't it? I went with 6th form many years ago, but it was nice to do it as a grown up!

MelonCollie that swiss roll looks yummmyyy :) What is this taster evening you all speak of? I go to an express group, so don't think we have it (we just weigh and go).

Congrats Orla and Snow for being nominated, that's awesome! Broken Mirrors, I hope you are feeling ok and whatever the bad news was is going to be alright, like Orla said we are all here with you. Most people sounding very nervy about weighing in today, I am too, been in Disneyland for the...

Ok so I'm back from my surprise birthday weekend with the Boyf.. he took me to Paris and Disneyland!! It was incredible, had such an amazing time! HOWEVER, I obviously didn't stick to plan, especially at Disney where it was basically impossible to eat anything healthy (or anything that cost...

Ooh what's the Points system, is that Weight Watchers? Some people find calorie counting alongside works, so if it works for you then keep it up :) Your excercise is inspiring, you're so good!

Ah thank you :) If it was just the once a year I wouldn't beat myself up, but I'm either really good and on plan or completely off. Countdown is on - I'm off to Ibiza on August 31st, and my whole slimming world journey has been aiming towards that really, it's come around so quickly. How are...

Haven't updated for a couple of days as I've been off plan and ashamed to come on and face you all! Getting back on it, but going away tomorrow night for a long weekend with the boyf for my birthday, so it's not looking good diet wise as I don't want to be worrying about syns! Today is looking...

1.5lbs ON this week. Whoops. *BethanyChey - 9.5lbs Lost, 11.5lbs to go *BubblesAnseo - 3.5lbs lost 22.5lbs to go *Chrissygrech - 4.25 lbs lost 20.5 lbs to go *DollyRocker - 8lbs lost 13lbs to go *Donna79 - 1lb lost 20lbs to go *edaj1 - 0lbs lost 28 to go *happynanna - 5lbs lost 23 to go...

We are indeed! Just weighed - 1.5lbs gain. Booo. Deserved though!

Fab news BrokenMirrors! :D p.s what does NSV stand for?

Weekend sounds lovely Mrscush :) And I think I may try this prawn linguine, is it a SW recipe?

Dreading WI at lunchtime today (even though yesterday I said I wasnt'!).. had several off plan incidents over the last week, and had 2 good weeks of losses. Waaaah. Why do we do it to ourselves?! I felt SO good after getting down to my lowest weight ever last week so why couldn't I just hold on...

Good luck everyone! I hate this Tuesday nervous feeling.. Amanda the Leaf sounds like you got lots of excercise in so hopefully those pesky wines and sausage rolls will be dodged! I have been terrible this week, so not got high hopes after 2 weeks of good losses. I would be so, so happy with a...

Welcome back :)

Today has been - Breakfast - Muller light (predictable that wasn't it) and a satsuma Lunch - 2 Ryvita with 2 Laughing Cow Light, cucumber and celery (part of HeB and HeA, I wasn't trying to only have part of them but I got bored of the Ryvita so only ate 2, same for the Laughing Cow!) Dinner...

Yes it was nice thanks.. my weekend continued to be nice as well. Fell off the wagon majorly after success last week. Whoops. I'm feeling good though so not too worried if I gain tomorrow! How was your weekend? :)

Last night's dinner was actually ok I think... I had A jacket potato with a curry type dish, and a bit of bolognase. I avoided the cheese as I'd already had my HeA, and I had 1 glass of Pimms and a small slice of birthday cake. Whoops. No idea re: the syns as I was too scared to ask her the...

I am just lazy, so a Muller Light always seems like the winner, but I really should make an effort and have something better! Look forward to hearing it - I'm going away next weekend for my birthday too, AND it's also a surprise! Lots of similarities!

I am inspired by your food diary to have more substantial brekkies! Have a fab birthday weekend :) x

Thank you! :) So worried about putting on this week though, have a few social events and it's going to be hardddd! Today is as follows so far: Breakfast - muller light with grapes and strawberries Lunch - 3 Ryvita with laughing cow light and cherry tomatoes (HeB and HeA) Snacks - Cadbury Fudge...

Am massively craving superfree food - can't wait to have money tomorrow and buy some FRUIT! :) So far today.. Breakfast - mullerlight (I promise I will start having a more interesting breakfast) Lunch - A small serving of Smash with a tin of Spaghetti Hoops.. and ate the only superfree food I...

I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere that if you're doing Sucess Express you have to count the highest syns available, so if it's 1 syns on EE but 5 on Green you have to count the green one? :confused:

The following don't include a free food allowance: Alcoholic drinks Biscuits, including cereal bars and savoury crackers Bread & crispbreads Breakfast cereals Cakes & bakery items, e.g. carrot cake Crisps & snacks Dressings & dips, e.g. salsa, salad dressing Fruit - canned...

Good news Orla :)

Oh and yesterday ended up like this: Breakfast - muller light Lunch - leftover fishcake (free) & salad (beetroot, sweetcorn, cucumber, tomatoes) Dinner - Pasta & Sauce and 1 Quorn sausage (1 syn) Snacks - cereal bar (heB), 3 of my friends homemade ginger biscuits! (Estimating 10 syns) Total...

Thanks :) I'm doing the full 15 per day, but over a week, so counting down from 105. There are a couple of threads on here about it (I started one called Syn Hoarding if you want to have a look) and people have quite mixed views on it, but it seems to be working for me! It makes me syn less...

Thank you BrokenMirrors, it's a pretty good feeling! I was confused when I got on the scales cus I saw different numbers and thought I'd put on.. too used to that 11st3 figure I was stuck at for ages! On the plus side (but I know the not entirely sensible one) - you will probably get a nice...

Wow that is not falling off the wagon! Has anyone else noticed how their attitude to eating has changed - this time last year, my idea of something naughty would've been about 10 times that! Now I eat a finger of fudge and think "Should I have done that?!"

The last year I've been yo-yoing my way around the 11s, so it's been a long journey so far! Good luck :) (I'm gonna try super hard to stay on plan so I don't gain next week!)

Just had WI - 2.5lbs off, got my stone award and am now down into the 10s (only just, but I'll take what I can get here). Not too many to go now! Using my syns over the whole week as opposed to day-by-day seems to be working for me so far so I'll stick with it.

2.5lbs off for me this week! :) *BethanyChey - 4.5lbs Lost, 16.5lbs to go *BubblesAnseo - 3.5lbs lost 22.5lbs to go *Chrissygrech - 4.25 lbs lost 20.5 lbs to go *DollyRocker - 8lbs lost 13lbs to go *Donna79 - 1lb lost 20lbs to go *edaj1 - 0lbs lost 28 to go *happynanna - 5lbs lost 23 to go...

I'm outta here - just! Fingers crossed I won't be back, see you all on the other side I hope! :) x

BrokenMirrors the like was for the rest of your post - not that your poorly! Hope you feel better soon! Just WI - I lost 2.5lbs this week, that's my stone award and finally into the 10st category (just!) where I haven't been for probaby about 5 years, so I'm very happy now! x

Fingers crossed everything comes back ok for your Mum, and your brother gets better soon. Sending positive thoughts! You've been doing this longer than me, so I'm sure you've heard it all before, but there's no shame in a bad week, or skipping it. Some things are bigger and more important than...

Thanks Mrscush, go at midday. I work in the middle of Bristol so go to an express type group, you just go and get weighed and leave! When do you weigh? EDIT - sorry just read your entry for today and realise you weigh tomorrow!

Sorry to hear that Orla, I hope you are ok, and whatever is happening gets better soon. Sometimes you just need to take a day :) Good luck everybody xx

So yesterday ended up like this: Breakfast - muller light Lunch - Asda Fresh Tastes Char Sui Pork (listed as Free in the database, but calculator using noodles as the free allowance it works out as 2, so will count 2!) Dinner - Tuna & Sweetcorn fishcakes (SW recipe) with green beans Snacks -...

Subscribing :)

Ooh an allotment - lovely! :)

I was considering the implant but was worried about gaining weight.. think I'll stick with the pill (sorry - off topic!). That's exactly it BrokenMirrors, and yes he is very supportive too. I think he's worried if I get to my target I'll think I can do better than him - haha! (Obviously...

Aw thank you Sewingbee, still a good stone to go though! I just ate a Cadbury Fudge out of sheer boredom at work to be honest.. waste of syns!

Subscribing :) Becki I'm in the same boat, get paid on Thursday so I am going to be eating a lot of random meals this week, bit worried about not getting all my good superfrees!

Hope you had a good weekend BrokenMirrors - is your boyfriend anything like mine, and encourages you to eat badly? Not in a mean way - just because we both love food and he's not fussed if I'm skinny or not!! Good luck for tomorrow everyone, how do we all think we've done? I was super good all...

Right - was on plan all week last week, all was going terribly well until Saturday. When I was out with friends, we decided to have a few drinks, one thing led to another and before I know it I probably consumed about a billion syns. Out with the BF yesterday, had a pub lunch (which was...

Decided to start a food / rambling diary to try and keep me on plan. I wonder if anyone will read it? :) A bit about me - I gradually put on weight over a couple of years until I got to around 12.5 stone, the lightest I've been in my adult life is around 10st. The problem is I'm greedy, I love...

Well done for biting the bullet, I found that I used to lie to my food diary - which is stupid, only cheating myself! It's only this week that I've been doing it really strictly and I am finding it helps. Like you, I binge, so I know where you're coming from. Good luck, keep it up! And well...

Robyn we are so similar.. I had a good day, but then ate a load of Oreo's and a chococate mousse. Syn free day for me today!

4000 metres! Well done! :)

Well done on lots of losses everyone! I finally got back into it this week (and was at a festival all weekend too!), with 2lbs off :) *BethanyChey - 5lbs Lost, 16lbs to go *BubblesAnseo - 3.5lbs lost 22.5lbs to go *Chrissygrech - 2.5 lbs lost 20.5 lbs to go *DollyRocker - 3lbs lost 18lbs to...

Thank you :) I have been struggling for a couple of weeks now, I KNOW what to do and I KNOW that it works when I stick to it, I don't know what's wrong with me, it's really getting me down, dreading weigh in at lunchtime today. (If I read this I'd think - pull yourself together!! You can do...

Thanks everyone - lots of good comments! :) (If I'd logged on before the weekend I may've stuck to plan more, totally messed up, will power diminishing!)

Thanks everyone for your replies! I am trying it (counting down from 105) this week and am finding it easier to stick to plan for some reason.. I will see how it goes with the WI on Tuesday. Trial and error I guess. I think as I find it so satisfying still seeing a big number of syns written...

Hi everyone - this may be a silly question, but I am curious. Are we allowed to look at our syns over a whole week as opposed to per day? i.e up to 105 syns for the week, so you can use say 20 on a day providing you have enough in your syn "budget" (may have had only 4 the day before for example)

I didn't have the free Friday office breakfast - while the boys tucked into bacon sandwiches etc. I sat here with my Muller Light.. #sob

BrokenMirrors, don't punish yourself for putting on a few pounds on holiday. Did you enjoy yourself? I assume you did - so that's all that matters! :) xx

Charlie we are exactly the same! Same starting weight, same target and both put on this week, I defo feel your pain! I've started a brutally honest food diary this week, I have been kidding myself for a few weeks to be honest. We can do it toghether! :) x

Thanks Orla, you're like everyone's Yoda on here! :) I'm defo better than I used to be food wise, the amount I used to it sometimes disgusts me now! I will start a food diary today. It's already working, this morning in work I had 2 chocolates which I generally wouldn't have counted (denial)...

I was nearly out of here, but am firmly back in now, weighed in today 11.4lbs. I just can't get down to those magic 10s!! Well done everyone on your losses :)

Great news Orla! :D So I just weighed in (always lunchtimes for me), I put on 1.5lbs AGAIN. This is not going well. Can someone please give me a kick into shape?? I have been off plan all weekend really, and I keep kidding myself that I'm being good just because I'm not being half as bad as I...

This really isn't going well for me, I must get back on plan (all the time as opposed to "most" of the time!) Put on ANOTHER 1.5lbs. *BethanyChey - 0lbs Lost, 21lbs to go *BubblesAnseo - 0lbs lost 26lbs to go *Chrissygrech - 0 lbs lost 21 lbs to go *DollyRocker - 3lbs lost 18lbs to go...

Good luck today everyone! And well done Lorniex on your 2.1!! :)

I didn't kick anyone off, I just copied & pasted the wrong post! :sigh:

Sorry Tiff I think that was me!

I ruddy did put on! 1.5lbs too! :sigh:

Not a great start - just had weigh in and put on 1.5lbs.. Gutted after a good loss last week! *BubblesAnseo 0lbs lost 26lbs to go *holiday dieter 0lbs lost 28lbs to go *Jeanne Von Buttonpopper 0lbs lost 12lbs to go *Jennjenn84 0lbs lost 21lb to go *Jo.b - 0lbs lost, 21lbs to go *Kittypuss85...

Subscribing :)

Anyone who isn't sure how it works - just add yourself to the most recent list, with your target of how much you'd like to lose before 1st October i.e marymary - 0lbs lost 15lbs to go Then each week when you weigh in, adjust as neccessary :)

Me too please! I'd like to be at target then hopefully! Good luck everyone :) *holiday dieter 0lbs lost 28lbs to go *Jennjenn84 0lbs lost 21lb to go *Jo.b - 0lbs lost, 21lbs to go *Kittypuss85 - 0lbs lost, 28lbs to go *LastEverDiet - 0lbs lost, 28lbs to go *lickthelid - 0lbs lost 17lbs to...

Good attitude Lumina :)

Oh and Orla - that's a relief about your Mum, hope she is ok! x

Good luck everyone, I am really worried about today's weigh in, I need 1lbs off to get my stone award but don't think I've done enough, I feel I may have put on. Broken Mirrors, it's your birthday, you're allowed to enjoy yourself, try not to feel guilty! (I say that but can't do it myself!) xx

Don't worry Charlie, it happens, and some things are bigger than Slimming World. You'll get back on track :)

Hi guys, Wondering if anyone can offer some advice. I am off to Carluccio's for a work lunch tomorrow. On the plus side - their website details calorie content so I can make a sensible choice, but does anyone know how I can work out the syn value? The dish is 385 calories, includes some free...

That's the spirit! :) Think of the shorts! And even more of a challenge.. I'd love to wear those crop tops that are everywhere right now!!

You'll get there, I'm in the same boat (holiday in September). Our targets aren't far apart either! We can dooo thisssss :D I've saved a pic of Kim Kardashian in a bikini as my phone background, is keeping me motivated at the moment!

Good luck MelonCollie and thanks! BrokenMirrors - I did a really scary class at the gym, which I think helped a lot!! And didn't drink this weekend which I usually do..

3lbs off today, nearly there! 11st 1lbs now. Have been plateuing for ages so a big relief!

Orla and Misspinky8 - likes were thanks for replying not liking that you're torturing yourselves. Get rid of them! I think I will give it a miss then. How's everyone getting on today? I had my best loss in ages, 3lbs off, and lightest I've been since starting, finally back on track! Good luck...

Good luck everyone! I've been the best I've been for a while this week, so am hoping for a good loss as I've been struggling of late. I was off plan yesterday though, so that won't have done me any favours! Orla do you find weighing yourself between weigh ins a lot helps motivate you? I'm not...

Glad I found this thread, would love to be in those magic 10 numbers! - I have been hovering around the 11.3lb mark for weeks now, am seriously plateuing. Has anyone tried the scan bran challenge by the way? I tried it and it was disgusting! Couldn't do more than a day! x

Just weighed in, only half lbs off. not as much as I'd hoped at all (I seem to be stuck around a certain point for the last few weeks!). How has 10th June got here so quickly? When I set my target July seemed like SO far away! Determined2slim 1lb lost 20 remaining EmilieClare 2lbs lost 26lbs...

I've done the same thing - but on a much bigger scale! The last few days I've been disgusting syn wise. It happens I guess, just have to remind ourselves of this feeling next time we are tempted! You are not alone! xx

Hadn't thought of that! Thanks. I do "feel" slimmer as have been getting on well at the gym.. so will let the scales catch up I guess. Thanks everyone :)

Oh I hope so! It's silly isn't it how we get so disheartened.. All I want to do is eat cake!!

Put on 1lb AGAIN, totaly deserved it. Have just gone to Tesco and stocked up on low syn treats as I've been falling off the wagon craving sweet things.. Hopefully will motivate me by gaining 2 weeks in a row! Good luck / well done everyone else!

I just ate a donut at work!! Aaargghhh.

Aw Princess Stevie - don't be so hard on yourself! I gained this week too.. we aren't competing against each other, there's no shame in a gain :)

Well done everyone, some brilliant losses!! I put 1lb on (fully deserved though, so ok with it!) Ally_88 3lb lost, 7.5lb remaining Barmel 0lbs lost 10lbs remaining Determined2slim 1lb lost 20 remaining EmilieClare 2lbs lost 26lbs remaining Ghostie 0lbs lost 35lbs remaining HLBGirlie...

1lb on for me - deserved though, I had a flippin' lovely weekend! Well done everyone :)

Try not to be disheartened, you're around the same place as me and it can come off slowly.. We'll get there though!

Well done that's fab!!

I've been plateuing around losing / putting on the same 1-1.5lbs for the last few weeks, so I'm trying the scan bran challenge for the next week to get things going again (had my first few with lunch, not pleasant!!), any of you guys done it? edit - thanks PeggyDee and LisaIris!

Agree with everybody's posts above really.. a lot of the stories are very, very similar. I was also perfectly happy when I was bigger, if anything I was a bit deluded and thought I looked ok, there wasn't a sob story I just thought I should be healthier and slimmer. Rochelle1 you should apply...

Bought at group this morning.. Just had 2 with my lunch. WOW. These are not pleasant are they?! I pretty much soaked one in balsamic vinegar which improved it alot though! Will try something muller light related with it later I think..

Well done MollyMolly, you'll get there next week! I just weighed at group, 2lbs off for me :) Ally_88 1.5lbs lost 9lbs remaining Barmel 0lbs lost 10lbs remaining Determined2slim 1lb lost 20 remaining EmilieClare 2lbs lost 26lbs remaining Ghostie 0lbs lost 35lbs remaining HLBGirlie 0lbs...

Well done LisaIris, I just did mine and 2lb off, the lightest I've been since I started! :)

1/2lb off is still good CLR! Especially so close to target.. keep going! :)

I'm going to start this today! Will have a browse around for recipes / inspiration... x

Hi twinsmummy, have added you below! Just update your loss when you weigh in this week :) (or gain or stay the same, all are ok!) x Ally_88 1.5lbs lost 9lbs remaining Barmel 0lbs lost 10lbs remaining Determined2slim 1lb lost 20 remaining EmilieClare 2lbs lost 26lbs remaining Ghostie 0lbs...

Orla I'm really sorry to hear that :( You've done amazingly so far, please don't let it get you down too much (easier said than done I know!) Just look over your progress so far to show yourself how great you are! x p.s Good luck everyone else today!

Well done everyone - I'm hoping seeing it there in black and white with everyone elses will really motivate me!

Also nervous for tomorrow.. was fairly good at the weekend but did drink a bit, and was a bit naughty last night (ok a lot naughty). My will power is seriously deminishing! Am going to try Scan Branning it next week, will buy in group tomorrow. Good luck everyone! x

It's amazing isn't it! I feel like I've eaten a lot today, but it's all been good! (Don't get me wrong, I'd love some naughty food, but being thin doesn't come without SOME sacrifice!)

Haha! I meant I assumed it'd be less, but anything where I feel like I'm having a lot of something is a winner in my book!

Can I join too please? :) From my weigh in on Tuesday, am I right that I pick a target for the beginning of July? 0lbs lost - 14lbs to go Thank you! x

I didn't realise a portion was 5 slices! Will be buying these in group next week - thanks :)

Well done everyone - inspiring to see some massive losses!! I put on 0.5lbs this week, it was deserved and has motivated me more for this week.. I tend to lose around 1lb a week lately so need to step it up!

I agree with the others who mentioned green / herbal tea. I'm not sure if this works but it makes me feel slimmer and helps me "go" too!

Thanks ladies :) I know - I was ill-prepared today and had to buy something for lunch at work and really fancied it. I find work lunches quite dull unless they are nice left overs :)

Hello all :) I'm new **Waves** I have a Sainsbury's Carrot & Corriander soup, which I'm working out the syns for. I've gone onto the syn calculator and if I enter that it has carrot as "free food allowance" then all the nutritional information, it comes up as 1 syn for half a pot (brill), but...
