I'm 31 next week. ergh:eek:. I was last on here in 2014 and I can't believe the difference since then, I've changed boyfriends, the country I live in, dress size, and I've consistently going to the gym 5-6 days a week. I'm currently doing slimmingworld/calorie counting! I joined SW 26.12.18 I've...

Weighin tomorrow evening as I can't make the Friday morning due to being back at Uni. The weeks been great so far in most areas. I was a participant in research, that's ongoing throughout the year, and got a certificate for it, I love certificates :p I've also put myself forward for course...

Where are you minimog? Hope everything's ok! I'm back from holiday beast mode on!

I'm baaaaack! So I epically failed at losing whilst in Tenerife. Not that I've weighed but I can see and feel it. We ate out most of the time as the food was nasty at the hotel, but we were financially restricted, so occasionally had to eat the BBQ burgers and chips they put on for lunch at the...

Tomorrow's plan is to have Alpen bar for breakfast. Were then going to Weatherspoons at the airport so I'll go for the chicken skewers or salad. We'll get there after dinners finished but packed some mugshots so I'll have one of the those and an Alpen bar. We'll see how long it lasts! Haha Were...

Thank you! Need to take the chance whilst everything's included. When else can I afford to eat tonnes and meat, salad, with swimming! Plus there's tennis courts! I'm still terrified of the flight but just thinking about my plans for the week

Finished! All shifts done and off to warwickshire today before Tenerife on Tuesday! Need to make sure I've packed everything I need, including mugshot sachets and Alpen bars. I couldn't make slimming world this week I've just had way too much on, next weigh in will be 5th September so I have...

Blimey! Well done! That's an awesome loss

Hi! Day 5 of 6 of work! Feel like I've not sat down for 4 days! I'm off to Tenerife on Tuesday! Bit nervous about the flight after the year we've had regarding planes but getting more excited the closer I get!

Sorry I've been MIA! I've been working! Yay money for a change. I worked yesterday and today, then tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday! I won't get paid till I'm on holiday, so hopefully we'll be ok whilst away. At least I'll have some for the rest of the month! Quite enjoying working and actually...

That's inspiring! I wanted to do ballet when I was 5 but always thought I was too fat. I never thought you could start as an adult! It's the same with figure skating. I just think there's a time when you need to stop letting weight get in the way of happiness and go for it so you don't live with...

Dropping by to subscribe! Read through your diary, you've given me so much food inspiration. I may have to try the pasta and philly bake tonight! Congratulations on your loss so far! You're doing amazing! :) x Kayla x

Thanks monkeypants! I was having a moment. We can all do this, it doesn't matter how fast or slow, were still moving in the right direction! Xxx

13th August 2014. The road is looooong Today has been a weird day. I'm on annual leave at the moment and although I'm grateful I can be lazy, relax and recuperate; I also feel slightly bored. I spent the day writing out the pages in my new notebook that Mr PtP bought me at the weekend. It has...

I'd like to join if that's ok? My weightloss is dragging it's heels so I need something for motivation. I'm on another thread for Christmas that's a 50lb loss one, although I'd still like to reach that I think it's unrealistic for me right now so if like to join this one, aiming for a 28lb loss...

I'm back! I had an amazing weekend with Mr PtP I love spending quality time with him. When I came back Monday morning I was rather miserable. Today instead of carrying on the way I was going, I decided to walk into town and back. I logged it using Mapmyfitness each way, I've attached the...

Festivals usually come with a lot of walking, more than usual, so be aware of the level of activity you're doing. Birthdays just avoid cake or have cake but if you go for a meal think about what you're having. Best advice is enjoy yourself if you go off plan then so be it! You're get back on it...

I maintained yesterday :( so disappointed I'm lagging behind all of you

Yea that's defiantly a good Idea! I'm not going crazy this weekend. I usually indulge but going to be careful and hold it out through the week. If I can do it for one week, then I know I can do it, I can do it every week! Off for a celebratory dinner with Uni friends so going to have a low syn...

I maintained today :( Let me explain. After the weekend I thought I could salvage myself, and was fine up until yesterday. Then it was a disaster from moment I woke up. My dad had stolen my lunch, taking it instead of his own, panicking about what I could take I missed breakfast. I took a...

Congrats! That's a great loss

I maintaaaaained :( for crying out loud this is a slow process. Yet I can walk passed a takeaway shop and put half stone on just from the smell of it

Welcome lola3! Good luck on your journey :)

Welcome! Drop by for a chat anytime, good luck on your journey :)

Congratulations!! The key with shifts is to plan ahead or they can be a nightmare food wise. Hope you enjoy your new job! We now have same day weigh in!

That's adorable Darcys mummy! Lol

Day off! Hoorah! Yesterday's diary (5th August) green day - shift day Breakfast - Banana, 2 clementines Break - boiled egg mayo salad roll (HEb) (1/2syn) 2 plums Lunch - boiled egg salad, muller light yoghurt and my potato salad (hea) Dinner - I was so tired I couldn't be...

Welcome! drop by anytime :)

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by :)

Thank you! Just praying I don't put it back on lol after weigh in I tend to be naughty from dinner Friday night till Sunday but only in the evenings. Especially if I'm working, I could eat a house when I get back

Thank you! You get 70g for Philly light, I use garlic and herb. You could use half and mix it with fromage frais to make a bigger batch to last longer. Also it's quite thick so would make it more saucy if that's what you like. I love Philly so I'm quite happy eating the thick stuff lol

Another shift down, 2 to go then on leave. But then doing extra for some moolah! But it's at least when I feel like it and it's not that I have to. Breakfast - banana Break - plum, 2 clementines and a banana Lunch - potato salad (Philly light Garlic and herb (hea) and Jersey baby potatoes)...

I find it really helps weightloss as I don't bloat, just a shame I can't stick to it! Haha good luck

It occurred to me that I haven't really set any goals. Apart from losing 2st by my holiday which isn't going to happen. I knew it wasn't realistic. I joined slimming world because my weight loss was slow and I stayed the same a lot, and I've continued that on slimming world. Once my injection...

Dropping by to subscribe! I'm doing slimming world too weigh in Friday mornings :) x Kayla x

Hope you had a good day! I had a long one :( worst is trying to get home from work through throngs of drunkards lol Why didn't I think of putting cheese on a pasta n sauce! I bet that's lovely

After 2lb off and getting my half stone I had a total cheat day. I had a chicken and bacon salad baguette from my local cafe (he lets me do tab when I have no money) and buttery Wholemeal toast for dinner. Plus a huge bag of cheese and onion crisps. Back on it tomorrow, prepped a jacket potato...

How are doing? Congrats on huge loss! That's great

Well done for sticking to it! You're doing really well and have the right frame of mind. Good luck for weigh in hope you get your next stone bracket and congrats on your 2lbs?! That's great!

Good luck! Hope you get your shiny! It's well deserved!

Yesterday was a much better day! So just doing a catch up of yesterday and then post today's later. I also found out how many syns that sandwich and crisps were and worked out the total out of the week: 48.5/105 including yesterday, which I don't thinks too bad. Luckily I kept Saturday and...

Your dinner sounds amazing! I was planning on 6-8 syns this week till after work today and grabbed a sandwich. Total comfort eater. Hope you have a fab week!

I failed lol I did a 12.5hr shift with half hour break as it was chaos, and awful. I had decent food till I got train home, I had a wait and I was SO hungry. I knew I wouldn't have time to cook dinner, eat it and cook lunch for tomorrow as I was getting back late so grabbed a gingsters and...

Welcome! Thanks for joining us ! Good luck on your journey :)

Hi all! I made a 5 minute stir fry last night after shift. As I'd pre cooked the quorn chicken style pieces I just had to bung them in the pan with veg and put noodles on! Was incredibly filling. Today I'm still on plan, I didn't have lunch as too hot and busy so I combined bits from lunch and...

Hope it went well! I was ready to settle for the evening and realised I hadn't cooked the jacket spuds for next couple of days! So they're now in!

Lol I'll have to remember that one! Story of my life

Hope you had a good day! My shift was much better today :) not far till your shiny! You can do it!

That's how it looks 3 days in I'll probably go completely off! Hoping to stick with it this week!

Today was a day off yay! I posted earlier that I'd weighed and had niggly headache and would do some prepping. So in between eating and taking painkillers I wrote out a meal plan for the week. This is really hard and is slightly repetitive when you don't have a lot of cash to splash on...

Thank you Mini_Mog! You are too! Faster than me haha! Keep it up!

Thank you! It's hard with crazy shifts as you don't know how much food you'll need to get through. Some days I get by on a mugshot all day till I get home, others I need a shopping trolley full. I have health issues too which I need to work food around. I did some prepping today! I'll write a...

Can I join in? I maintained last week and lost 1lb this week. I was hoping to lose 50 before my holiday but that's not going to happen, so christmas is my next goal! Good luck everyone! x Kayla x L.I.N.D.A. 5lb off -45lb to go Happynanna 4.5lb off 45.5 to go 3mercer-45lb to go Hippopotamum-...

Welcome! Slimming world is great! Also ring your consultant about taking kids with you, we have mums at our group and they bring them along when there's no option. It only lasts an hour and it generally works quite well. Good luck on your journey! Let us know if you do a diary we can subscribe...

Weigh in! I lost 1lb. Which means I'm 2lb away from 1/2 stone award. But off slimming world that means I've lost 3 1/2 stone since my highest weight. I'm going in the right direction for a change! It's slow and steady but it's still going down. Although I've been slimmer (15st) I tend to lose...

It will catch up next week, believe me I used to do 2 hours at gym and didn't lose an ounce gave up and lost a load the week after. It's not for nothing you're doing well. Make sure you don't exercise before weigh in. You'll be fine don't give up, you can do this :)

Quick update: Yesterday was a complete disaster. I had HiFi light for breakfast and as a snack, bananas and two satsumas on break. Then on lunch discovered id accidentally frozen my salad by putting an ice pack in my lunch bag to keep it cool. So I had to go shop and get a Wholemeal chicken...

Yea if you use Wholemeal 400g loaf it counts as a HEX B if you wanted to use a white slice from 800g I don't think it would be too many syns, it's entirely up to you :)

That's awesome! Well done on your loss and boxing is a fab way to lose weight, I'm planning on getting the Tae Bo DVDs as I loved it when I was younger. Have a fantastic week and keep it up!

Good luck! Hope it goes well!

Try making your own popcorn and do you have the fakeaways book? They have a great SW recipe for KFC chicken. The syn calculator I don't think takes into account the free foods side or something so just go by what "syns online" says rather than the calculator. Good luck tomorrow I maintained...

Congratulations on your fab loss! That's amazing! You're doing great, maybe I should use your diary as a meal plan haha have a great rest of week!

Congratulations on your 2st! Sorry not replied sooner been hectic! Hope you're having a wonderful holiday!

22nd July 2014: Catch up, Exercise and most importantly Food! I didn't think all the salads and jacket spuds would be enough, so I downloaded MapMyFitness onto my phone, and decided that on my days off I'd go for extra long walks. There is no way right now I could exercise when I get home from...

Oops forgot to add I had 2 bananas and a satsuma. Superfree!!

Food! Yesterday was Sunday and therefore prep day. I decided to totally ignore what I ate Saturday and move on, and plan to live on salads and jacket potatoes for the next 5 weeks until holiday with a 6-8 syn a day limit. I made a huge batch of salad, boiled some eggs and baby potatoes and...

I only do green days, unless I'm going out for dinner and EEs easier. I was short on superfree but the different between the week before and the week just gone, wasn't significant enough to put back on what I felt I lost and what my scales said I had, they aren't that wrong. I got money Friday...

Maintained :'( that's two weeks. I know I lost last week everything was loose and I felt great but this weeks been frumpy and bunged and HOT! I had 4L of water yesturday. To stay on track I got a 6 week countdown, which takes me up to my holiday. Happy weigh day peeps!

Awww sorry for your sad news :( Glad you're staying positive! Work can really bring you down I've only got 3 weeks left of were I am so holding onto that. Aiming for 6 next week now, I want my 2 a week average or bust lol

I maintained this week :( so disappointed I know I lost last week but didn't get to to go to weigh in. Then this week I've felt bunged up and frumpy. I drank 4L yesterday and not had an over amount of fibre. The only thing I can think of is I've had majority of free foods not super free as I...

Yay! Congrats on your loss and good job getting into those 14s! I maintained this week well last two weeks as I couldn't get group last week. But I know I lost last week it's just this week I've been bunged and frumpy :( I bought a six week countdown to keep me going!

How did you get on? xx

Aiming for 4 off this week as I couldn't make last week. That keeps in line with my 2 a week average, but who knows!

Week 4 Day 4! I had a migraine again last night and spent 35.5syns on recovery carb rage. But here's today! Tuesday 15th July I had a lie in because of my migraine last night, and I wasn't going to eat weetabix again! Brunch: Bacon - 90g raw weight, all fat removed. (HeB) 2 low fat Quorn...

I was thinking that, but if you have EE and have seconds don't you have to have seconds of everything, so you still have the thirds?

Quickie Post... FOOD! Brunch Dinner Total syns today: 2 kitkats and mint sauce - 12syns It was a green day so I weighed the pork out but it was so nice I went back for seconds and thirds, and I think I should change it to a red day. But then didn't...

Proud of you! Even when you have a little weightloss you figure out why and you carry on, that shows you how strong you are, you don't let it get you down, well done keep it up!

Hey sorry for late reply I've been doing long shifts and dead on my feet. I couldn't make weigh in this week, but carrying on with plan so hoping for good loss next week. Hopefully at least 4lb so I keep up with my 2lb a week loss. How are you getting on?

I know I'm an idiot lol that's an old bad habit when I used to not eat all day till dinner, but because I've been eating more and more healthily I can't last that long anymore. There's always time for food!!

Noooo you can do this! You know you can. Ignore 2.5lb it's obviously an anomaly, a line has been drawn time to start fresh and get those trousers falling off you!

And boys! How could I forget the boys bless em

HEBs: 2 Wholemeal rolls HEA: 300mL Semi Skimmed Milk Syns: 3

Week 3: Day 4 I've found the syn free quorn sausages in Iceland! yay! I also found Qourn Tu'key burgers in there, and checking on the Slimming World mobile site, I found out they were syn free too! So i grabbed a box of each, some kingsmill wholemeal rolls, bag of stir fry veg and some more...

1st week: -1lb 2nd week -3lbs and Slimmer of the week 3rd week: I can't make weigh in this week due to shifts so aiming for at 4lbs loss next week to get my 1/2 stone. feeling positive! We can do it girls!

Thank you! :D

Awww Hun sorry you're having a hard time. Hope your daughter gets better soon! Don't worry too much about gains after gym that's the same with everyone! Hope you get back on plan soon! You know you can lose it again you've lost more before just think about why you're doing it! You can do it!

I'm clocking what works out a 2lb a week loss at the moment, finding it tough as life seems to get in the way but then it always does doesn't it lol so I have to stop using it as an excuse! I have a diary called "pig to princess diaries" in slimming world diaries. I love houmous! Nice on ryvita...

Week 3: Day 2: Prepping and Planning Yet again I fell asleep before any goals were scored in the Holland v Costa Rica game. I fell asleep near the end of the second half of extra time! Only to wake up to a ping on my phone from Sky Sports telling me Holland won on penalties. I did wake up...

Hi and welcome I'm doing slimming world too, since 20th June and having a comfortable 2lb loss a week so far. I love it! I wish I experimented more with my food though, if you start a diary let me know I'd like to follow your journey! x Kayla x

Welcome all! Best way to get involved is read through the threads and jump in the conversations you're interested in, you can also look through the diaries see if anyone's in a similar situation or had similar stats or you just want to make friends with. Mines pig to princess diaries by the way...

Week 3: Day 1: Coughs, Colds and Quorn Sausages I didn't do a blog post yesterday as I would have liked to, I'm just so full of cough and cold all I've wanted to do is zombie out watching the tennis and football. I went to weigh in yesterday morning, not expecting a big loss. I hadn't planned...

Well done! That's amazing, congratulations :)

Well done on your loss! I looked in the Friday weigh in thread and a lot of people were toying with not going! I think it's been one of them weeks for all. I love stir fries! Ive got loads if dried noodles in the cupboard, I just always forget to get the veg! They're really filling I don't know...

Big day for me! I lost 3lbs, entered a new stone bracket AND I got slimmer of the week! When I did it years ago I never got slimmer of the week! Very happy!

I lost 3! And I got slimmer of the week, felt a little but emotional when I did it years ago I never got slimmer of the week :D

3lbs off! Woop would love to know how much we all lose each week added up! Be amazing. Well done everyone! Good luck to evening weighers

Well done for keeping it up! I hate eating late but eat when I'm tired! The last couple of days I've been so tired I've fallen asleep before I eat. I was thinking about popping my own popcorn to snack on and flavoring it myself as fruit doesn't cut it. Your lunch sounded amazing!!

So sorry to hear you've had such a bad year and for your losses :( I think it's a fantastic idea to spread out the wedding and honeymoon, it's well deserved! Congratulations on your loss so far, look forward to following your journey and I'm incredibly jealous you're off to disney too! :p Good...

wow! I was dreading going to weigh in in the morning and so glad I'm not the only one! But we can do this! We should all go and get back on here and get back on plan 100%!

That's exactly what it is! That's why they disregard 'star week' weigh ins. Don't worry it'll be off in no time! I've got weigh in in the morning I've only been good since Tuesday morning :sign0007: so I have no idea how its going to go. You'll do great! I'm determined to keep to 100%! We can...

Week 2: Day 6.. Coughs and Sneezes spread diseases I've been spreading it all day! Not really, I catch it, bin it, kill it. I woke up quite early considering it's my day off and I don't have major responsibilities. I let the poochy out as my mum was still in bed and started cooking my...

Aaah well done on your loss that's fantastic! You're doing so well, and well done for keeping it up! I'm sticking with green not sure I've got the hang of EE yet, even though it's easy! Haha

Oh yea! I was happy with a lb, how did your weigh in go? Hope you got your 1lb! xx

Haha glad it's not just me that's not a morning person! It's a full blown cold :( But I have next couple of days off as I'm working the weekend so hopefully be able to get rid of it as quick as possible. I've tried eating bigger lunches, bigger breakfasts, bigger both, nothing seems to stop...

Week 2: Day 5: As rough as a bears bottom I fell asleep watching the Belgium game last night and it seems to be consistent that I miss all goals, regardless of how much of the game I watch. I was on a late shift today (12:00 - 20:00) so I woke up earlier and prepared lunch whilst munching on a...

Week 2: Day 4. London shifts and Mug Shots Today, I think I did very well. I found it hard to bring myself down and sleep last night after a long shift yesterday. I woke up so tired I nearly cried. I couldn't even face my HiFi rocky road breakfast. My throat felt like it had closed overnight...

I just finished a long shift! :( on a late tomorrow. I'm not doing very well with eating on Shifts haha I need a day off to go food shopping for mug shots and muller lights. Do you know if the chicken and sweetcorn mug shot pots on the go are free on green? I had one today and quite enjoyed it...

Hey! I lost 1lb in my first which was last Friday. Everything's been against me and I'm just getting in to it but it's the right direction. Thanks for stopping by! How are you getting on? x Kayla x

Welcome!! :wavey: I'm exhausted and I haven't quite worked out what to eat or when depending on the shifts I do to keep me energised and not gorge at night. I'll get there!! Had a hitch but promising myself to be 100% from now on! I can't wait till depo wears off in sept! 2lb lost since 2011...

Week 2 day 3: 30th June (Written throughout the day) Friday I was really good. I went to group lost 1lb, went shopping, then headed to Warwickshire to spend the weekend with my boyfriend. We went to Weatherspoons for dinner and had the chicken and pepper skewers with rice and salad. Was...

Welcome! With portion control get measuring spoons and cups maybe even a portion plate to get you started along side MFP. Also everything comes with with what a portion/serving is on the box and things. Cereals my biggest problem with portioning and spaghetti! I got a spaghetti measurer from...

1lb loss! It's not a usual big first week loss but I didn't have a great first week, everything was against it, it's all detailed in my diary. I'm pleased though I thought I'd gain or maintain. Going for a big loss next week!

I'd syn as 1 as a quarter of 3.5 is .8 so I'd round up to 1. If in reading it right haha

Losses and Gains Went to the doctors last night for my last injection and I used their weight/height/BP machine before going in. When I went in I asked about what my weight was doing and I'd lost 2.2lbs since 2011! I was devastated. So I'd lost 3st (42lbs) in 2010 and have plateaued for the...

First week weigh in 1lb off! Surprised as it wasn't a great week to start on: migraines, bit bunged up (too many ryvita!) and star week, so really pleased with that, next week aiming for a big one! Well done for your losses guys! Let's keep it up! x Kayla x

Thanks Denise! Off to first weigh in now! Not been 100%. updating fully afterwards be happy with a maintain :)

Well done! That's a fantastic loss :D

Well done! Mini goals are a great idea as they're achievable and not too daunting. You'll do great! Keep it up

Hope it went well!!

Hope this hasn't been asked somewhere else but what do you all eat before weigh in? Evening weighers do you have dinner before? Or morning weighers breakfast? How long before? I'm morning and I have a HiFi bar which is my usual breakfast, about an hour before then after weighing I drink lots...

Slimming World Day 4: Migraines and Munchies I'm hoping you noticed I didn't post yesterday, this is because I was buried under my covers with an ice pack on my head, trying not to let the salad I had for lunch make a reappearance. I had to swap the long shift for the normal one as my head was...

*keeps distance* you're doing great! I love reading your food diaries you're always low on syns! I need to learn a thing or two. Hope you get to go strawberry picking!

Quick update: migraine, carb rage, not 100% to plan. Will give more detail when I can see properly.

Flavour chefs a glorified George Forman but you can cook entire roast dinners and stuff so it's good if there's only 1 or 2 of you. It's totally none stick so you don't have to use oil or anything as well. I've not had a chance to use my soup maker yet, you just throw in everything you want in...

Well done! Sounds like you're doing great! Lucky your friends doing it too, BBQs can be tough, you did really well, they say if you stick with plan you'll lose. I feel like I'm eating far too much to lose especially yesterday on my day off but it was all within plan so we'll see! Have a great week!

I'm saving for a Flavour Chef at the moment! I have a soup maker for the winter but that's all I've got, my mum has a kitchen aid bowl blender thing that's quite handy. I'll have a google! It sounds delicious and everyone's having it, I feel left out.

That makes no sense! Lol sorry. If you start a diary I'd like to follow it.

Welcome!! :D You'll do great! Keep us posted on if you start a diary if like I follow it! Good luck on your journey xKaylax

Welcome!! I'm in my first week, weigh day Friday. Look forward to seeing your success! Congrats on half stone! xKaylax

Dropping by to subscribe and to congratulate you on doing so well!! Keep it up xKaylax

Same!! Have a great first week! x Kayla x

No I don't :( I have so many things I'm saving for, for the kitchen haha

Day 2: Salad, Sun...and bugs I had today off yay! So I took the opportunity to get some sun and top up my Vitamin D levels. At the same time, blogging and going through my Slimming World pack. It's not a great picture, I put the umbrella over the laptop to stop it getting too hot, a method that...

Haha thanks hun. And thank you for the rocky road recommendation! I think they've really helped with not having evening binges and I have two throughout the day, so it covers cravings. xxx

Your night sounded amazing! I've never been to a casino. Well done for getting straight back on it! Maybe everyone has the same idea about the pulled pork, it seems really popular all of a sudden, I wouldn't know where to start with it! Have a great day!

oh wow!! you're doing fantastic! I lost 1lb last week but officially joined a group so hopefully my first week will see better results!! Good job!

I weighed Friday and lost 1lb, then joined slimming world. I'm 3lbs heavier on their scales (post breakfast, wearing jeans) so I'm changing my stats to match theirs. So today was my first official day! I quite enjoyed it, I'm stuffed. I'm definitely eating more than I did before, we'll see at...

I really don't like this heat. I have to cover up and just get hotter. You can do this!! you did really well today! Try planning meals ahead of time even a couple of meals planned ahead helps. You'll do great!

Have a great time at the Hen night!! You're doing really well, but remember to enjoy yourself too!

My first day has gone well I think. I'm very very tired, but luckily have a day off tomorrow to do some meal planning and prep. I have not hit my usual tired snacking yet either, because I'm honestly so full up, I'm scared if I eat anymore I'll burst. I love that you can put the slimming world...

1lb loss yesterday and officially joined!! Let's see how I get on next Friday! :D

SW DAY! Fat Fighting Army My internet went just as I was posting this blog post, but it managed to save. So I'm just going to copy and paste it here and then do a Day 1 post after it. 20th June 2014 - It's official! This morning I joined the fat fighters army, attending my first Slimming...

Welcome Kurtis! You've come to the right place there's plenty of plans to chose from if you want to follow one and loads of supportive people! I'd suggest walking at first, if you can't exercise much, just as far as you can and then gradually increase it, just push yourself a little further...

Good luck on your journey! Don't forget to update us! Especially if you have a bad day, there's so much support here! :) x Kayla x

Going to do a catch up post tomorrow. I did a long day today and I have to be up early for Slimming World!! SW day has arrived! Excited!! I had a salad with cut up cooked turkey slices for both lunch and dinner (had toast with dinner salad) as I did a big batch last night so I didn't have to...

Yea! That's ok, drink loads of water to flush it all out, you'll soon be back on it! :) Xxx

Good luck everyone!!

Hi! Thank you and welcome! Hope you don't mind a roller coaster! x Kayla x

Noooo two? I better buy a couple of boxes! :D

I've heard a lot about these Rocky road!! They sound divine. 1.95?! That's pretty cheap considering that's 5 days of a HEB. I'd probably have them for breakfast as well, so doubly cheap! I was thinking of buying a 6 week countdown outright, to make me keep going. I can't get a 12 because of...

oooh I forgot to chop them! I like the idea of freezing the muller light, that's a great idea thanks!

18th June 2014 - 1 day till SW Day!!! Just popping my head in!! I'm too pooped to do a full post. I had an awful night last night, so much so I swapped my shift today for a short one, to do a long one tomorrow and hope I get a better nights sleep tonight. Here's my intake for the day...

Good job!! 8 glasses or 8 pints? According to the "How much water should I drink equation" I'm suppose to drink 3L a day based on my weight! I sturggle but you're right it really does help

I've had a couple of bad nights, don't worry too much. You know you did it, that's the main thing! You know where you can improve, a lot of people don't realize until weigh day, and you're still weighing in after a bad week, that says a lot about your dedication!! Let me know how you get on...

Hi! Thanks for the tips! Frozen grapes sound great! Never thought of that. I tried freezing bananas and they went brown, not sure they're suppose to do that. Thanks for the luck, I hope everyone's nice, if not, It'll just spur me on even more! x Kayla x

17th June 2014 - 2 days till SW Day!! I'm stuffed. I just ate a ridiculous amount of chicken bites, I now need a nap. My mum found a box of 60 chicken bites, a party pack from Christmas and was going to throw it as it was taking up valuable freezer space that will soon be filled by my SW...

Hi, I'm Subscribing! You're amazing! Keep up the fantastic work x Kayla x

Congratulations that's a great loss! It's 4lb less than before! Keep it up, and I'm sure one nights indulgence won't make a huge difference

16th June 2014 - 3 days till SW Day!! Today wasn't a great day, I filled up early this morning on a Slim-Fast shake, plus 1 and a bit slices of toast, trying to prevent a big dinner in the evening. It didn't work. I found out I have passed my Math and Biology exam and in my excitement forgot...

Hey! Keep up the good work! Discovery Cove's amazing! With Disney I had the parade songs in my head for weeks, and still know all the words, also the food is amazing! It's like it's made of magic. I'd love to go again

Yea! let's do it together!! You may reach 4st loss and be happy, reach whatever weight is healthy and comfortable for you. If I reach my goal, I may lose a little extra so that I don't have to worry too much over christmas, I can allow for a little gain, that's why I'd aim for 5-6 :) I'm...

Sunday 15th June - 4 days till SW day I had a slim-fast shake on my way to work, feeling like Id had a good night sleep. I got to the other end an hour before I started so I went to Costa and treated myself to a bacon bap (for lunch) and a medium skinny latte, I very much enjoyed both. As...

Welcome!! Hope you find the plan that works for you , there's plenty out there and loads of people here for support. Good luck on your journey! Kayla

Thanks GigerJV! It is hard! We'll all get there in the end , pop by anytime, good luck on your journey too! And I'll definitely take you up on that support offer! Kayla

Thank you Tina! Yea I agree, if you aim for large amounts if becomes too much and you get disheartened if you don't lose it quick enough. Sure I'm aiming two stone for holiday, but if I weigh anything less than I do now and I'll be happy! Good luck on your journey, I hope you'll pop by from time...

Haha don't worry it's a bit of a maze, it's in slimming clubs -- slimming world -- slimming world weightloss diary and it's called pig to princess diaries Not in the food diary section

Was the BBQ bad telly-tots? I think it's just important to not deprive yourself and know that you can have treats but you have to want health more. So it's fine to have a treat weekends just changing the treat, my weakness is Chinese, I tend to just stay away because you're looking at two days...

Oh wow! Well done that's great self control! :D

FryLight do smokey BBQ?! Glad you enjoyed the hazelnut milk, you can make your own but its a bit of a faff. Enjoy your party!

hey! Welcome. I'm joining slimming world next Friday, hope I can follow your success! It's the only one that's worked for me in the past! Good luck! :)

Hey if anyone is still on this thread I've started a diary in Slimming world diaries called "Pig to Princess Diaries" I'm in this for the long haul!

I googled my username to see if I could find a decent avatar and I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with what I saw. I'm basically Peppa Pig in a ballet tutu. So I opted for myself. My names Kayla, I'm 26 year old postgraduate student who does shift work. Skip intro: I want to lose...

Subscribing! I'm fedup with not being able to wear the fashion I want too, and feeling generally poop and in pain. I went up to 270lbs and now sitting at 224lbs, I'm joining slimming world next Friday! hope I can follow your success! :) x Kayla x

Hi! I'm joining next Friday but I've done it a couple of times before and it's the only thing that works for me. It's purely my life in other areas throwing me off that's stopped me. The things I found useful were, drinking 2L of water a day, including herbal tea etc. Making meals in bulk and...

Hi and welcome!! I can't give advice but would like to say good luck! stay positive you'll do great! :) x Kayla x

Welcome!! Slimming world is my choice too, It's the only one that has worked in the past. It's been me giving up that's the problem! I'm feeling very positive about it this time. You'll do great! Good luck!

subscribing for inspiration! you're doing great! Congratulations on your loss so far x Kayla x

wow, defiantly sounds like a good buy! enjoy your goodies!! :D

Subscribing for inspiration! You're doing so well! I'd like to lose 5-6st before Christmas. I put next august as my goal as I thought I'd never be able to reach it by Christmas this year but so many people on here are showing me that you can! Keep up the fantastic work, hopefully we can cheer...

Well done for not going for your usual (Which by the way does sound amazing lol), you would of jeopardized all your hard work! So, well done. How are you getting on with your actifry? is that 2 syns the oil you use?

Thank you!! I'm very excited about it all, and now I've found this site the added supports going to be great! Hope I can stick to it long term :)

Subscribing as we have a similar weight and goal! I'd love to lose it all by Christmas!! You're doing really well, even with setbacks you've still come through strong that is the hardest part, well done!! Look forward to seeing your success :) x Kayla x

Welcome!! I'm 5'6 and need to lose another 93lbs! I've lost 43 so far with various different things, but now I'm 26 I really need to sort it out. I'm joining slimming world next Friday and I'm so excited!! Good luck on your journey! Hope to follow your success! x Kayla x

You put the link into your signature. If you used Tickerfactory, I think its the third link if you preview signature once you've added it you'll be able to see if it's the right link :)

This rings very familiar, I was a 16-20 through my teens, 14-16 at 18 years old then went to uni and ballooned to 24/26. Currently a 20. I was fed up with going to the doctors and them telling me I needed to lose weight but never telling me how. I knew for me it was psychological, I'm a huge...

Welcome! I'm joining SW next Friday which I'm really excited about! I've been trying to lose for the last few weeks for a wedding I went to Saturday, and the pictures just spurred me on even more. I've loved SW in the past and knew it was the only way to go! Hope you enjoy the plan! You'll reach...

Good job!! That's great :) Kayla

I'm joining SW next Friday (Pay Day!!!) but I've been weighing and I've 3lbs this week. I have no idea how, my body must know its going to have a big shock!

I'm in! I work shifts so my groups may switch between Thursday and Fridays. But Friday weigh days is my preferred day I'm not joining till next Friday but I weighed last Friday and this Friday and lost 3lbs!

Welcome!! Yay for the hubby doing it too! That's great you have the support. You'll get the hang of it and planning is a great idea that's what I'm going to do. Congratulations on your quitting smoking too that's a huge deal!

Welcome!! :) Weightloss is different for everyone and it's whatever works for you, you sound like you're eating healthy! make sure you eat plenty (sounds weird I know) and drink lots of water, Just keep it up and I'm sure you'll see results :) Good luck

Thank you!! You're doing very well!! How long have you been doing SW for?

haha you did great! well done I can't wait to get started! Hurry up pay day!

Congratulations that's a great loss! Well done

Nut milks in coffee is amazing! you have a subtle nutty flavour. Good to know 400ml is a HEA that's going in my notes lol Keep up the good work!

How did it go?

I just read through your entire diary and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see if you got your award! It's nice to see another shift worker living on mugshots, I am not alone! You have an amazing goal to make, Disney is amazing! Look forward to following your journey. Hope it goes well...

Welcome!! :) You can talk all you like that is what this sites about. I've recently re joined the site so although I'm new too, I know there's some lovely people on here. :) Hope SW works for you and look forward to seeing your progress! x Kayla x

Welcome!! I'm new here too and I've already met some lovely people :) sorry to hear about your ill health. I'm sure you'll have an amazing weightloss journey! good luck x Kayla x

Hey!! I'm sorry to hear, you have no one near you for support. I don't have anyone where I live either, and all my far away friends, are used to me being on one diet or another so aren't interested anymore which doesn't help! Good luck on your journey! I'm excited about it! :D

I've changed my name, I think the previous one may cause people to judge although it was a bit jokey lol Disappointing day, I realized I'm paid next Friday not this Friday, so I'm digging my old slimming world books out, making a list of what I can't live without to know syn values using the...

Welcome! yea that is definitely dooable! Congratulations on starting your journey and with a fantastic first week loss!! keep up the good work!

Evening! I think I'm going to go straight for Slimming World, I have Friday off and I'm paid and there's a group on at 9am. It's a sign! but the consultant does different days and times so I might get away with fitting groups around work. Slimming worlds the only one that's consistently worked...

Here for support! Glad you have a myfitnesspal, it's great for calorie counting diaries. good for you giving it another go! you can do it, look forward to following your journey :)

I'm learning how to crochet...again. My Nan taught me when I was little but I was better at cross stitch so stuck with that more. I'd like to get the hang of it again. I do enjoy it but my granny squares currently come out round. Hoping it will keep me occupied in the evenings instead of...

Welcome!! I'm new here too, joined today! Hopefully we can keep each other motivated, slimming world is where I think I'll end up. I'm going to do Slim-Fast till after my holiday then start slimming world. I'll be doing online as like you they don't fit around work hours. If you start a diary...

Found it! Subscribing.

oh no! lol that's something I would do! I was thinking of doing Slim-Fast until my holiday in August and then doing Slimming World. I'd probably join online rather than groups as my work days vary from week to week. In the past slimming world has definitely been the most successful for me. I...

I've found with shifts is having my main meal for lunch then a shake for dinner really helps. Having a shake from breakfast and lunch on long shifts just didn't cut it; for me anyway, it may be different for you. I see no reason why you can't reach your goal on SF! Hope it's going well!! :)

I'm new here too! :D I think the people on this thread are all very strong individuals!! You'll all do fantastic! I cant wait to follow your success Kayla

I agree, I never got around to doing it because I read the book and thought this is ridiculous, restricting things like fruit?. I see what it's trying to get at, but still. Another is the "Pig to Twig" book. I gave that a go and I thought that was ridiculous too. it recommended a regime of...

haha Thank you! :D How are you finding it? That's a great loss! you're so close to your club 10. Do you have a diary I can subscribe to?

I aim for 2-3L a day, according to the equation (someones already posted it) for my stats I should drink 3L a day, which does include herbal teas and things. I have a dodgy bladder and surprisingly drinking 2-3L a day I don't go to the loo as much as when I wasn't. I think it does help you lose...

Congratulations!! :clap: That's a fantastic loss

:sign0144: My names Kayla, I' a 26 year old postgraduate student on work placements. I was here a while ago but decided to make a new start! :D I have about 97lbs to lose. I've lost 43lbs already, I have no idea how! It was a mixture of different things and took forever. I've come back on here...
