Sorry for posting a day late on here lovelies! Finally... my scales moved in the right direction yesterday and I had a 2lb loss. It's taken my body 3 weeks to get a loss after my first week back on plan, hopefully they keep moving in the right direction. Here's to a fabulous week xx

Fabulous loss! You're doing so well hun. Hope you're feeling much better for your birthday xx

Good luck for tomorrow Fridays! Hopefully we get some fab losses xx

Thank you for this reply - it has really helped knowing that these things happen and that our bodies will kick in when things settle. Your4lb loss was amazing, but so is your perseverance after numerous STS! I'm going to hang on in and stick with it. It's the only thing that I've ever found...

Oh team, I feel so at the end of my tether.... I restarted the plan again 2 weeks ago, I lost half a pound last week and I've gained 2lbs this week. I've been following EE 100% and having 5-10 syns per day. I've been really strict in recording my food diary too. I've started a new job, so have...

Incredible loss! Amazing :D Fab fab fab result! Congratulations on your 2.5st award too. You're doing amazing - a real inspiration! :) I'm sure you will get that 2lb loss next week. That's a great loss - you must be made up after your STS last week. It just goes to show that if we stick with...

I had an apple early morning and just had a gorgeous brunch of 2 Linda McCartney Rosemary and Red Onion sausages, 2 scrambled eggs, mushrooms and beans.

Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries topped with Brooklea Lemon Greek style yogurt and 30g Special K granola with dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds and almonds (HExB). Syn free too :D

I didn't think of that! Hopefully you're right - thank you :) Congratulations on your loss and on being in the next BMI bracket - that's awesome! I've been a bit rubbish with fluid intake lately, but have upped it over the past few days. Here's hoping we have 2 weeks worth of 'bigger' losses...

I'm a bit gutted this morning- first week back on plan usually sees me get a big loss. This week I've lost half a pound. I'm happy that I've lost but can't help feeling a little disappointed as I've had a 100% week. Saying that, I'm feeling quite bloated at the moment so maybe things will get...

Good luck for tomorrow Friday team! Fingers crossed for good losses xx

Having a SE day today... Branflakes (HExB), skimmed milk (HExA) and Strawberries (lots and lots of strawberries)

After going AWOL for 2 months, I'm back on the SW wagon and going to have 6 Success Express days to get myself really focused and back on track. Today's SE menu: B: Branflakes (HExB), strawberries and skimmed milk (HExA) L: Chicken Fajita Salad: 1 x chicken breast, peppers, onions, mushrooms...

Hello Friday Team! Sorry I have been AWOL for a quite a while. I've had a crazy few months and have been off the SW wagon (I shouldn't make excuses really!). Naughty I know, but had to focus on other things and my SW meal planning fell to bits slowly and then all at once. Safe to say that I...

Hi Stevie! It's great to see you back! I really admire your perseverance and honesty throughout your journey. I'm here to subscribe (...and steal some yummy food inspo!). You sound really focused ahead of your holiday. I'm sure you will both have an amazing time. xx

1lb off for me this week please Daz... I've finally got my gold bar :D Thank you so much for all of your time and effort in maintaining the monthly challenge spreadsheet. Your hard work has really helped a lot of people stay on track, remain focused and look at the positives each month in their...

Hi lovelies! Sorry I didn't get chance to post yesterday. It seems we had quite a mix of losses, STS and gains yesterday. If you had a loss, congratulations and if you didn't get the WI result you had hoped for I hope you're not too disheartened. All kinds of factors can cause fluctuations and...

4lbs off for me this week please Daz. Thank you :D

Well done Zappacat and Darcy's Mummy on your consecutive losses, awesome result! I've lost 4lb this week which I am absolutely over the moon with :D Good luck to the rest of the Friday gang with your WIs.... I'm looking forward to reading how you've all got on. Let's dooooo this! xx

Good morning new girl! Hope you have a great first day back on plan and enjoy your new group this evening :D x

Hi Stevie - I'm here to subscribe to your new diary. I have really enjoyed reading your diary and following your journey over the past few months on Minis. Although you have been struggling lately, I think what you have achieved on your journey so far is amazing. I could only hope to echo your...

1lb off this week, thanks x

Woop woop! 2lbs is fabulous! Especially as you are approaching * week. x

Awesome result! Well done Kerry Jo :D x

I love how positive these posts are. Well done on the sit ups Zappacat - that's brilliant! When I was younger (... and lighter) and used to go to the gym, I would see people at the start of their journey working out and would think good on them and admire them for going. I guess I just need to...

Fabulous loss! Congratulations on achieving your 3st award :D Amazing 4lb loss - well done! It sounds like you are back in the game. With that super cross trainer that lb will be off in no time. :D I've lost 1lb this week which I'm pleased with considering I've had a weekend and just changed...

Hat-trick honking

I usually have dinner between 7 and half past. Tonight I had a Chicken and Prawn Dopiaza with cauliflower rice and a raita sauce. I was going to make a side salad but had a huge tea so didn't need it.

Ahhh fabulous! I love the cross trainer at the gym. I'm working on getting back in there once I feel better about myself (kind of defeating the object I know, I just feel so self conscious) so I do stuff at home. Do you have different routines programmed in to it, where it changes resistance...

Thank you - I'm ok at throwing a meal together when none of the ingredients require cooking :giggle: The Special K Granola comes in two varieties (that I know of)... Dried cranberries with pumpkin seeds and almonds or Raisin and red apple. You can have 30g as a Healthy Extra B choice...

BBQ

Aww thank you! It was lovely... I had been craving it for days! (Salad cravings... I never thought I'd get those a few months ago :giggles: ) Mmmm butternut squash soup is my fave! Is it a SW recipe?

Hello lovelies! I hope that you all had a great weekend and the week is going well so far... I had a lovely weekend away, drank far too much but managed to eat very SW friendly meals. I've been back to my week Success Express days today so hoping that I wont have a gain next week. I just hope...

Definitely! Star week can be a pain. Last week I was 100% but STS which I think was due to star week. This week I lost 5lbs... Don't let yourself feel too disappointed - easier said than done I know... Just stick with it and drink plenty of water to help with any fluid retention and you will...

Thanks Carjam - onwards and downwards :) I think it helped declaring what I aimed to lose aswell, to keep me focused. I am staying at a friend's this weekend but aim to be on plan as much as I can. I'm going for a 2lb loss next week to take me to my 1stone award. Here's to a fab week xx

Good morning! 5lbs off for me this week. Thanks Daz :D It seems like we've had a great start to the July challenge... I think reading that we are half way to Christmas gave me a kick up the booty! Good luck for the week ahead :) x

Wowza! We've had some awesome losses this week team. I've resided myself to the fast that my journey to target may be via the scenic route but I keep trying to mix it up which will hopefully help. However... after a few 'slow' weeks, I set myself a target of 4lbs this week. After doing SE in...

Amazing loss! Well done :D

I had a similar issue a few months ago. I had lost 16lbs, bought new scales which read that I was much heavier and had gained 8lbs. I started my SW weight record over again to weigh accurately but I'm not sure it was worth it. It will no doubt be the scales not a huge gain. It's so frustrating...

Hello my lovelies! I hope you have all had a good week and are feeling positive ahead of our WI tomorrow. The weekend is nearly upon us :D :D :D x

After a slow June month, I am going for it in July with 5 days a week Success Express and having Extra Easy weekends. I'm aiming for double figures this month and going for 10lbs please. I'm working get into the next stone bracket for the August challenge :D Thank you Texty and Daz :D

Poached egg on toast and grapefruit

Great loss! Well done Chipsticks and congratulations on achieving your 2st award. :D xx

Thank you for the support :D * week sucks! This is why I love our Friday group (and minis), there was a time when I would have weighed in and because I had stayed the same despite sticking to the plan, I would have thought 'stuff it' and kicked the diet to the curb. I know that would only be...

That's brilliant! Thank you so much for clearing that up for me, Stevie. I can't believe I spent all week missing out... I can't wait for my second HExB this afternoon. The Special K Chewy Delights are calling me already... Thank you x

Thanks for the advice lovely! :D Do you still get 2 if you are doing a SE day but basing it on EE rather than red or green? x

Some excellent losses this week - well done! Star week has come with a vengeance for me this week which has resulted in a STS for me. I'm annoyed with myself as I've been 100% on plan with 2 E.E days and 5 S.E days. Hopefully I will get a big loss next week if I stick to plan again...

Success Express HExA: 350ml skimmed milk HExB: 2 slices of wholemeal bread

I'm a bit frustrated with things this morning...STS for me despite being 100% on plan and having 5 success express days. Star week has arrived with a vengeance! I was really hoping for a loss, especially as it's my last June WI and I have a weekend away next weekend. I'm starting to dread my...

Woop woop! Well done on a loss in your first week :D Onwards and downwards.. x

You must be feeling so frustrated - especially if you've been 100% all week. Have you increased your body magic? Could it be water retention? x

I finally got round to making the infamous 'Burger in a Bowl' tonight! It tasted as good as I imagined :D

We're having a BBQ this evening so I've made a few things from the SW Fakeaway book to throw on the barbie: tandoori chicken, minted lamb kebabs, zesty turkey skewers, SW coleslaw, mango salsa and a grilled pepper salad. I hope all of the family enjoy them. Spoilt for choice!

I'll be doing that myself from now on I think! I can make the most of my weekend Fakeaways, BBQs and Sunday Roast. Thank you for your advice. Have a lovely weekend x

That sounds like a really good idea! I've booked a holiday today (11 weeks and counting), however I have 2 weekends away with friends already planned. I'm trying to maximise my losses before I go. I think I'll try this! It sounds like a great way to break things up. Thank you for the tip. x

I might try one week or do a week and a half then to take me to my WI days. Thanks for that info! I really appreciate it! xx P.s 8lbs in one week... amazing!

I'm having a second go at a 'mini' Success Express challenge starting tomorrow, hoping to stick with it for the next 6 days to my final June WI. I have a big weekend away with the girls coming up on the first weekend of July and then no major plans until August bank holiday - I was thinking of...

Hi KW! Just wanted to echo beachbabetobe's post said really. If you want any advice on your food diary, you could post up what you have eaten/plan to eat for a few days. I'm sure the mini's family will be happy to have a look at it for you. Are you following SW at home or are you going to...

You are absolutely fantastic! Well done on your loss - and the NSV of buying a top in a smaller size. If I lose 1lb or STS I am always so tempted to go 'off the rails' but you have shown me that by sticking with it, the results will come. Have a fabulous week x

Lots of positive vibes and great successes today my lovely fellow Friday weighers! Here's to a fabulous week :D x

Thank you! I'm the same, it's great to have a weighing in group on mini's to see how everyone has done each week and share the highs and lows of weight loss. Your stats are brilliant! You've done so well since February. I hope you're not feeling too disheartened this week- I personally think a...

Hi Daz, 3.5 off for me this week. Thanks :D

Thank you! It feels awesome doesn't it! Imagine how good Club 10 and target will feel? I think I will cry tears of joy when I see the magic number on the scales :giggles: x

Evening Carjam! Minis has been pretty quiet over the past few days I think. We all fall off the wagon from time to time (I had 5 days off the other week as I was away and it took me 2 days to get back on plan). You sound like you're back in the game and ready to go from tomorrow onwards :) I...

Hi team! Just dropping in to the thread as I have been away for a few days. It's great to see some fantastic losses in the challenge so far. I had a few days off plan last week as I was away for 5 days, and returned home to see a 3lb gain. I've been back on EE and had lots of superfree, so...

It's good to see everyone on track with our challenge :D I've finished day 5 today and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm going away tomorrow for the weekend, but I intend to be keeping up with the challenge! Hope you all have an an fab weekend :)

I saw your post in the June Challenge thread and wanted to congratulate you on an incredible loss this week! I've just read through a few pages and have been in stitches laughing - especially your Slimming World in numbers. I hope you don't mind me subscribing to your diary :D x

Hi team! Sorry I didn't post yesterday! Today was Day 22 for me and my second attempt at Level 3 - which was long overdue! I found it quite challenging but I absolutely loved it :D I'm only going up to day 25 this time around as I am going away for the weekend. I won't lie, I'm a bit...

Well done on completing day one :D It will take a few days to get used to it but just think of how great you will feel at the end of the 30 days for a few minutes a day. There are a few rest days too. I always tell myself that if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. Each day your...

Hi! Sorry I haven't posted for a few days, I haven't been on here much. A few of my girl friends at home were planning on starting this today - so I had a few days off to restart it today so we can all do it together. So, I am calling the 4 days I did my trial run :giggles: I quite enjoyed it...

Well done on the run Lucy - I hope that you are feeling much better now? I've just done my Day 20, Level 2 workout - on to level 3 tomorrow :D I have booked a weekend away with friends next weekend so I will only be going up to day 25 of the 30 DS this time. I'm thinking of doing the 'Ripped...

Hiya! I saw this on Facebook, but I have already started it. I'm on Day 5 today - if you want to get started before 1st June the app is free. Just type in 30 Day Ab Challenge. I'm doing the squat challenge too :D A few more people may join closer to the 1st June xx

I went to a SW group a few years ago but couldn't always get to WI due to work hours. This time around I have just been on here for my WI and have joined the May/June challenges. I think the support on here is fantastic! A food diary sounds like a really good idea to keep a record of meals and...

Day 18, Level 2... done :) x

Hi KMD, I found that in the first 2 WIs when I was doing the Shred my weight loss slowed and then I had a STS. However, my scales were broken so I restarted my SW plan and stats (hence the low stats on the left.) However, this week I lost 3lb which is the biggest weekly loss I have had minus...

My final weigh in for the May challenge is.... 3lbs off! So, I haven't hit my 10lb target but I am soooo pleased to have lost 7lbs this month. With my super shiny new scales and my new recipe books at the ready... June challenge - I am coming to get you! Good luck to everyone else with their...

Thank you! I get the Shred out of the way early doors and then try to do a DVD/go out for a walk every other evening too. I think that's a good idea of doing pure cardio in the evening. I might drop the toning sections off my Nell DVDs and see how that goes. Oh I know, if it wasn't for my...

I hope they are useful, let us all know how you get on. It sounds like the online plan is ideal for you- plus you can use minimins for support. I found that joining a thread for the day I WI was useful. (I'm a Friday weigher) You can start a new thread on the food diaries section and people can...

It's not pathetic at all - the push ups are hard. When I started I really struggled. Maybe you could do a push up modification... I'm no expert but I would say try doing push ups against a wall to build form. Then try doing your push ups by placing your hands on a step and then build up to push...

Hi Cakepop! Firstly, congratulations on your initial weight loss :) I'm glad to see you found us in the 30 DS thread in the sub forums. I think you have set yourself a good and realistic goal of losing half a stone over the 30 days. Don't be alarmed if you stall or the scales go up initially...

It's my final weigh in for the challenge on Friday, really don't think I'm going to lose 6lbs this week to successfully hit my 10lb target. I've been doing success express this week to boost my loss and try to get as close to the target as I can. Although I won't have met the challenge, the...

Oh no, I hope that you're feeling a bit better today and that a recovery day has helped. I agree with you on that.. Day 14, Level 2 (4th day of Level 2 today) and my arm buckled during the ab workout at the end of the 3rd session :giggles: It's safe to say that what I missed out on in...

Oh no! I hope you are feeling much better? Think of your first few goes as a trial run before you go at it again :D

This week, my old scales broke. I've bought some new ones earlier in the week and when I weighed myself on Monday they showed a few lbs different to my old ones (nightmare!). How annoying? I don't want to write off the last 6 weeks on SW, but I don't know now what my accurate starting weight...

I forgot to post yesterday... ooops! As the exercises have been easier to complete now I'm nearing the end of the level, I have upped my weights from 1kg to 1.5kg and have used 2.5kg for the chest fly exercises. Level 1 Day 8 completed yesterday. Day 9 completed this morning :) Happy shredding!

Oh gosh, how much running are you doing for your Race for Life training? Are you doing a 5k or 10k? The shred might be beneficial as you are building and strengthening your muscle. I cheated on Josie with Nell McAndrew's Ultimate challenge on Monday (7th day of the shred) and found it easier...

Yay, another shredder! The results are brilliant aren't they? Keep us all posted with how you are getting on :) Good luck x

You're not rubbish at all, Lucy. It does your body good to give it a rest day. Level 1, Day 6 done this morning.

I'm having a grill up today before the rugby kicks off :D Linda McCartney Rosemary and red onion sausages, bacon, poached egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans. B.E.A.utiful!

Porridge and blueberries. I think I need to give these pancakes a try. I love oats in the morning but porridge can feel quite samey all of the time. I might have to buy some choc shot too- pancakes, yogurt, fruit and a chocolate sauce for breakfast... diet? What diet? ;)

Your body was probably thankful for a rest day! I've just done my workout pre-porridge... Level 1 Day 5 Done :)

Great loss! x

Spicy cous cous and roasted vegetable salad

That's a great loss! Well done :)

1lb off for me this week, please. After my weekend blow out and star week I should be grateful for a loss. So, that leaves me 2 weeks to drop 6lbs now to hit my challenge target. I'm going to plan out all of my meals for the next week and do a big shop later. Good luck with WIs everyone :) x

Hi ladies, Look who's back... I confess, I'm a Jillian Michaels fitness addict! I was half way [struggling] through some reps on Josie's DVD and could hear Jillian telling me 'don't phone it in', 'don't you dare quit on me' and that 'you gotta fight for this. I don't want you to stop. Push...

I've just realised that we are almost half way through our May challenge... time flies eh? 3 WIs and 7lbs to go... :character00115:

Hello Friday gang! Apologies for my little rant but I'm really not looking forward to WI on Friday! I feel like I must confess my syns (of which I did not count yesterday) :break_diet:. I went out with my family for the day and was completely off plan. I have also been greeted with my star...

Hi Bubbles! How are you finding your first week on SW? Good luck with your first WI this week x

Ohhh I'm not looking forward to WI on Friday! I feel like I must confess my syns (of which I did not count yesterday) :busted:. I went out with my family for the day and was completely off plan. I have also been greeted with my star week, so I'm really worried that I will get my first gain this...

Well done for keeping up with the 30 D.S so far. I was out visiting family yesterday so didn't get chance to complete it. I'm not sure if it's because it is my second go at the '30 D.S' that I don't seem as motivated. I'm going to switch and try Josie Gibson's 21 day fat burn instead to mix...

Hi CURVYlicious (love the name btw!) I think aiming for a stone in 7 weeks is definitely achievable. You could experience a little bounce back weight in the first week from your VLCD/increase in exercise, but 2 days shouldn't make too much difference. I'm sure the scales would shift in the...

Hi Minnie! Don't beat yourself up over it, it happens to all of us. Just draw a line under it and get back on plan. :) (Good choice with the chocolate orange though...mmm!) More importantly, look after yourself. I hope that you are ok? x
