Leggings are good for the summer but I've been really cold coming home so thought this was the week for thicker trousers :p Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I put on half a pound which is better than expected :) I also wore some heavier trousers because it's starting to get colder and I don't want to be wearing leggings all winter so thought if it's going to be bad I shall change my weighing outfit so I could've possibly stayed the same... This week...

Going to draw a line under it and move on... Not going to have syns today and possibly tomorrow so overall I haven't gone widely over Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

My plan for joining the gym has gone down the drain...The good classes which is the main reason I join the gym all clash with my lectures unfortunately this semester but instead I'm joining the dance society (:S Scary I'm worried they'll all be slim beautiful people) with my flat mate for £5 for...

Yep :D this week its freshers though...so alcohol...my new consultant recommended if you know you're going to have a tricky time of it then try success express so that you don't get a gain...so I picked up on of those sheets and i'm going to read my book about it to see if I can give it a go :)

Thanks :) got another 2 weeks until lectures start and next week is freshers which is a worry because everyone tends to drink a lot of alcohol :/ my flat mates are quite sensible people and aren't wanting to go out every night like last year so hopefully won't be too bad especially if I can...

Off back to oxford today :) joining slimming world up there tonight so I know what I'm doing next week when everyone else is around :) quite nervous :) really hoping I get a loss tonight or I'll be really annoyed I have no idea what I could do better Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I'd recommend them both :) it makes one tin of chickpea Dahl go much further :) which is always good on a student budget :p and the quiche can be packed full of veg for lots of super free Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I made chickpea dahl loaf and it was wonderful as a snack :D and then made slimming world chips/wedges for dinner and it was so nice to actively making food that I know will do me good instead of just eating pasta for most meals :) sorta looking forward to being completely self sufficient again :D

Feeling a lot more positive today :) I've eaten well and drunk lots again :) weighed myself on the home scales which normally weigh the same and I'm somehow down 4lb... Which I'm not sure how accurate they are but it made me feel good and like maybe it's doing something :) I'm really looking...

I've made a litre or maybe just a bit less into coffee today :p I can drink coffee for days I just love the taste and it feels less like a chore than just drinking water :D xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Currently 1 litre down... I have no idea how people drink so much fluid in a day I feel all slooshy Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Stayed the same :( I swear I literally can't leave this group Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I did not :( stayed the same which is really uber frustrating I took my food diary in and my consultant said I'm still not eating enough even when I'm eating 3 meals a day and that I should up my super free intake :/ I'm going to try and drink 2L of water a day this week and see if that makes a...

When I'm back at uni I'll definitely be joining the gym :) I know i've shrunk because I measured myself before I started SW and then last week I had a bra fitting and i'd lost 2 and a half inches...I think (I measured in cm before and inches at the measuring and haven't converted it properly) I...

I'm worried when I get back to uni it'll be much harder :/ but still it won't work without any effort so determined to keep going :) quite excited to see what I'll look like now :D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I've got a long way to go so I need my head in the game :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I use this as my weightloss diary not as a food diary so I can look at what was difficult for me and what worked really well and how I was feeling about everything :) ... I don't think i'd be able to keep a food diary on here as I write it as soon as i've eaten it and updating a post at least 3...

Thanks :D It made me so happy because it means it's actually showing :D The hop festival was quite challenging because it's a celebration of beer...I shared half a bag of candyfloss with a friend and had minimal alcohol and tried to stick to syn free actual meals and so hopefully at WI on...

My friend noticed I'd lost weight! :D Some of my friends came over yesterday for the Hop Festival and they stayed the night and we were sitting around the table this morning and I stretched and he was like "Ali have you lost weight you neck looks really slender" I know it's sorta a strange thing...

Yes :)

Only lost another 0.5lb so I'm at 15st now -_- right on the boundary to go down a group :( NEXT WEEK!!! I'm keeping a food diary because I was making an effort to eat more last week and it didn't pay off so i'm probably doing something wrong

I didn't think they were filling at all because they were so small and not bulky... I like bulky food to fill me up :) shame about the turkey burgers :( I've found sainsburys is the best place for low fat meat is the only place I can find 5% fat pork Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Lost 0.5 today :( very annoying because I was trying really hard :/ this week I'm going to record what I'm eating and hoping that will show what's going wrong :) this is my dinner tonight! Quiche with frozen veg tikka chicken mushrooms and spring onions :) it's tasty had pasta and veg on the...

I did! They were left in too long so they were quite burnt :( but some of them were quite nice :) the less burnt ones... They weren't very filling though so I'm not sure if I'll do them again Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I shall have a go at them :) mum will probably like them she loves cabbage :) let you know how they go down when we make them Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

How are they made? they don't sound all that appealing to me :P but then Kale was never one of my favourite foods

Thank you :)

Fruit pastels are 0.5 each :P They're my favourite sort of sweet :) It depends on what shot measure they're using some places I know do 35ml and some do 25ml...I think 25 is more common so maybe 6(rounded up) of 25ml or 4 of 35ml... I'm doing Biology degree :) Just about to start my second year...

Thank you :) you could lose loads of weight in 8 months! :) I love to cycle too and run :) swimming is expensive unfortunately bit whilst I'm at home mum is willing to pay for it :) Have you ever tried and aquasize class or aquazumba? Then it seems more worth it because you actually feel like...

When we went it was lots of very old people and similarly sized people to us and it's adults only so I didn't feel too self conscious and it made me feel so positive for the rest of the day knowing I was doing something :) I think I might go today (Friday morning) but nobody else can come with...

I think asda chickpea Dahl is my least favourite :p apparently they're all free except sainsburys which is disappointing... I suppose 4 syns for half a tin isn't that bad Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Lost a half today :) 2lb away from my 1 and a half stone :) I am making a conscious effort this week to eat more and see how that works because I've not been eating proper meals due to my newest antibiotics having to be taken on an empty stomach :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

We made a dreadful discovery this week... Sainsburys chickpea Dahl (my favourite we bought 8 tins this week) is NOT syn free :'( it's 8 syns a tin... I've been eating it as a free food all this time because I read somewhere chickpea Dahl is free and assumed it meant all of the varieties...

It's WI tonight and I'm really not optimistic at all... I feel as though I've eaten so much this week and I can't imagine it being possibly for me to have lost any weight :/ I'm going to do some more wii fit later before we go to WI and hope it might make a slight difference but probably not :p...

My aunt gave us her wii fit and I've just spent 40 minutes doing the exercises on there which made me feel a bit less guilty as I've done some exercise at least... Haven't gone on the bikeride because I am really not feeling too good and didn't want to risk being away from home for too long so...

Had the worst day today :( it's mums birthday and we're at Aunt's house and we had a dinner party style meal tonight that was in no way SW friendly :( tomatoes stuffed with Boursin (the most wonderful cheese on this planet) mixed with cream and then duck breast and ruby source with buttery mash...

Might have to invest in some curly wurlys but then if I have some around if probably eat them :p I think it was the caramel I wanted I've never been too much of chocolate fan :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

This is the 12 week plan I'm planning on following... My only problem is I don't like fish for the week that's 4 lots of fish but I'm sure someone will help me think of something else to do that week :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Are you worried about how you'll eat when you get back to uni? That's my biggest fear atm but my group there's a twelve week challenge and my semesters are 12 weeks so I might just follow that to keep me on track Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I resisted a twix today... I was really really craving one and I think it was only because we were in a service station and I hadn't had a proper meal that I wanted one but I thought to myself this is a waste of syns there are better things to use them on than a measley twix which offers no...

I used to run but I have a bad hip from falling off a horse in 2008 and when it was still hurting in 2011 I went to the doctor and he told me to stop running and riding and that was really all the exercise I got so that's when I really started putting on the weight so I know I love running it's...

Lost two pounds :D going to start cycling more and more building up to when I go back to oxford (11th of September) and join the gym again :) also there's a podcast by the nhs called couch potato to 5km which is a 9 week program I might start... Has anyone tried this before? Or know of anyone...

It's less about being thin to prove a point but gaining the confidence to think that I'm worth it :) I don't see myself as beautiful right now and I think until I have the confidence to think I am even a bit good looking I won't be able to accept anyones love. I've had two guys cheat on me now...

I'm working on the willpower. Sometimes I don't and give in but i'm trying more and more not to :) I keep thinking I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life. The guy that came to visit I quite like but I can't imagine anyone ever liking me when I look like this so every time I'm...

I didn't actually eat any oysters... I'm not a fan of seafood in general but there's lots of other things to do and when you get bored you can just sit on the beach and (hopefully) enjoy the nice weather :) there's a parade as well but we missed it :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Really good thank you :) I ate before I went so I didn't have anything naughty/fast food like :) It was lovely weather and so nice to see my uni friend again :)

My friend from uni decided to visit this weekend so he's arriving tomorrow lunchtime ish which is exciting :) we're going to the oyster festival and then he wants to see what the night life is like here so I've organised a group outing to whetherspoons and I haven't had any syns for the last two...

I've decided to start exercising alongside the eating better :) I went for a 3.7mile bike ride yesterday and so I'm gonna try and do some more this week to really get my metabolism going :) I've got 7 weeks more til I get back to uni so I'd like to lose as much as I can (I will join a group up...

Well done :)

I'm hoping for a good loss! Maybe I'll even get Slimmer of the week and get the new summer booklet :D that's wishful thinking though as there are lots of new members who are eligible for SotW this week so will probably do very well :)

Had a lovely day on the whole :) I went to the beach in the day wearing shorts/bearing my arms which I probably wouldn't have done just a few weeks ago because I felt as though I was doing something about my body so it didn't matter if my bad bits were on show because they won't be there much...

Thanks :) Mum is 1lb of a stone this week so I'm really gonna try hard so she doesn't get too far ahead of me :D Hopefully next week i'll be looking forward to WI too

Thanks to all of you for your support :) Ever year we got to my Aunts for christmas (She did slimming world last year and looks wonderful for it) and I have been keeping in the back of my mind how good would it be to go there and for them to be wowed by how much weight we've lost. I've made a...

Really hoping at my WI tomorrow I won't be leaving...I went up last week to 15st13lbs :'( but I knew why but this week i've had a whole naughty day so I've no idea what the scales are going to say tomorrow :( Wish me luck

Well done for losing the 20lbs! I get what you mean...some of my friends have said that they've wanted to lose weight and i've been there for them to encourage them I can't understand why they wouldn't be supportive of me. I just need to learn not to cave to the peer pressure :) At the moment...

She's not fat but I wouldn't call her thin either...she's probably the one who weighs the most below me in our circle of friends

I didn't even think about just having a coffee instead of a pudding...I shall consider that next time :) Mum has a friend who fills up her wine glass when she's allowed herself one small one when she knew that she's on SW. I know I should tell more people but it feels quite embarrassing to have...

Weigh in is Tuesday so i've got to hope that my good eating before the weekend will help me get rid of the weight I put on from summer school if i'm really good for the next two days...Just hope I haven't completely ruined it with my lack of backbone. I still haven't told most people that i'm...

Thank you :) I'm really enjoying having this online family :) it's nice to know that there are people out there who understand what its like to be in the same position. Most of my friends are lovely and slim and I feel as though i'm the 'fat' friend. Mum's said maybe my friends don't want me to...

Mum is doing well too if you're interested :) She's lost 11.5lbs so far! I'm so proud of her

Hello :) Last weeks weigh in was better than expected! After I came back from Summer School (Friday) I weighed myself and i'd only put on 2lbs which was less than I expected then I was really good for the rest of the week and so when it came to my Tuesday WI I had lost half a pound of those 2lbs...

I'm worried i'll be leaving you but back the other way :( At summer school and everything we've been fed is very rich My next weigh in is tuesday so i've got a week but still got another 2 days of bad food... feeling very down :(

Unfortunately not...Middle of nowhere and no transport I'm not eating inbetween meals but what i've been eating at meals is worrying...I had mushroom soup for dinner but it was REALLy creamy so I hate to think of the syns in that. When I get some free time i'm going to try and go to the gym but...

Hi, Currently at the Summer School and everything i've eaten (3 meals so far) has not been SW friendly. :( I don't know if i'm imagining it or whether its to do with the food at all but i'm feeling quite groggy and alot less positive than I've been feeling for the last 4 weeks... I think I might...

Congratulations :D

Does anyone have any good tips for choosing foods when out that will be best for the plan? I'm going away for a week and all 3 meals are provided for me and so i'm worried about putting on weight if they're all cooked in lots of fat.

Good luck to you too!

Thanks...I've had a look at a sample menu where i'm going and the food looks amazing but in no way at all slimming world friendly...lots of pies and gravy and custard...there is a seasonal fruit platter option for dessert which will be good :D also there's a gym and so i'll take my gym kit and...

Thanks :) One of my problems is I fill up on the pasta and rice and potato (Carbs basically) before I eat my salad...I might try eating the salad first a go then i'll eat less carbs if i'm already full from salad...its just not quite as good as a nice bowl of pasta :/

Thank you :) we didn't do too well this week :/ we both only lost 0.5lbs which is still a loss but not a very big one! I know where I went wrong. When I went to my friends party I wasn't planning on drinking but my friends made a fuss (I should have more willpower/be less easily persuaded) and...

Good luck! I've got about the same to lose as you to get down to 14! I only lost 0.5lb this week which is quite dissappointing but I was expecting it as I went to two parties this week... I'm worried next week won't be good either as I'm going to a summer school where they are providing all of...
