So I started again properly and currently on day 3. I'm taking time off uni as I had a lot of unforseen circumstances going on. My best friend commited suicide, my daughter and I got a stomach bug and I'm having liver issues possibly. So its just getting to much right now. On the brightside...

Sorry I haven't updated but been sick so having comfort food. Hopefully the worse has come out today so can get back on track tomorrow

Day 24 Stayed the same. This was fine. But my daughter is home due to having a fever Friday and as she has autism getting her to do a flow test without another person is more or less impossible not to mention probably inhumane. She had a stomach bug.... So shall be fine. I had my caramel...

Day 23 I broke that barrier today with another pound off. But since it's not official way in it doesn't count. Today was a chocolate mint cookie morning followed by a matcha shake and another creamy thai pot, although tempted to order fish and chips. My future self will thank me for it. No...

Day 22 For the week I lost 4lbs bringing me to 33st on the dot. I don't mind to be honest. I'm also going to have to figure out how to not cheat on a Saturday, or just have a cheat day. Breakfast was a chocolate fudge bar, lunch a flapjack and dinner and Indian takeaway. I put it all in...

Another loss for me despite starting the week badly, I did reign it in though so was grateful for that. I lost 4lbs. I feel bad getting big losses weekly when others aren't, but know as its only as I'm so big to begin with! AliGal 50lbs to go - 4.4lbs lost purpleorc -2lb lost 52lbs to lose...

Well done you. It's hard finding the right balance for you. But 2lb loss is what they recommend so you're right on track

Day 21 Lost another pound. Weigh in tomorrow though so I think it should be some kind of loss overall maybe in the new bracket but if not I only have myself to blame. Breakfast was a peanut butter bar, mint chocolate chip cookie for lunch and a bolognese pot for dinner. Did my 5 minutes of...

Day 20 2lbs off woot. I might get into the next stone bracket by the weekend. As for today I had a cookie for breakfast then as I wasn't hungry for lunch I had the cherry and berries shake and that is lovely including the colour. Will be ordering more. Dinner another creamy thai pot. So 600...

Day 19 Back to 33st 4lbs. Woot. So all damage gone. Now 2 more days until Saturday so fx for a loss. Stuck to plan so that helps. Had the flapjack for breakfast and the indian dalh pot for lunch, which is amazing so need to order more. I'm slowly getting use to what I like. Dinner was a...

That's great. I hope you'll get it, sometime charism wins out so you might be fine!

Yes it Is. My daughter has ARFID so will only eat certain food so I feel I'm forever wasting it. But since her food is high calories I have to watch what she eats also so its a never ending battle. Day 18 Day went to plan. Woot! I stayed the same weight wise. Really don't know why I weigh...

Day 17 1lb off. Doing an early post as I know I'll feel hungry later. So today was suppose to be my exam, but my daughter was sick, turns out she was fine, so annoyed about that but not a lot I could do about it. I made a chocolate mint shake for breakfast. Not sure if I like it yet, but I...

Well done you. I prefer the pots over the actual packets of savoury food so far.

Day 16 3lbs on, not surprised but I got a week to go. Went better today though. I felt like rubbish so have learnt not to binge eat again. I did only have two products today breakfast and lunch, but a lot of water. Then i had steak and veg for dinner which was delicious. Then pudding so...

Agreed. I didn't do it due to only loosing a pound but I went out to the cinema and saw a friend for lunch, so knew I was going to struggle

Day 15 1lb off so officially 20lbs down or 1st 6lbs in two weeks. I will admit I did eat my daughter's chocolate reindeer last night and took me to under 1200 calories so all good. But day 15..... well I went back to my old self. Skipped breakfast. Dr pepper and revels at the since, tons at...

I lost another 7lbs her. So I'm happy with that. I pigged out today, so I expect a gain next week though.... AliGal 50lbs to go - 4.4lbs lost purpleorc -2lb lost 52lbs to lose GLL 50lbs to lose Zafira 50 lbs to lose but more like 80 lbs total.. Halley 7lbs lost 43lbs to go Bertie81 0.5lbs off...

Go you. You're really in the swing of things atm.

Day 14 Not to bad. Had a 2lb weight loss this morning, so that was good. Overall it went well. I had my porridge ready after I had taken my daughter to school, I make it prior to the school run. Since I had a 4 hour lecture today I ate my chocolate caramel bar at midday whilst learning...

That's why I like going to my parents as they are literally in the middle of no where!

Day 13 2lbs off. Woot! Half way through my next stone. 1 more day to get through to official weigh in though. But I smashed today. Breakfast at uni was a mint chocolate chip cookie. Lunch was a double chocolate bar Dinner was a chocolate chip cookie. That is a lot of chocolate I know, but I...

You seem to be smashing this. Looking forward to your weight loss on Saturday?

Was it any good? I've not tried any shakes yet and stuck to bars and pots. Mango and passion fruit and coffee are my general go to flavours though so tempted in the next batch I order

Day 12 Stayed the same this morning. That's fine as I didn't put weight on. 4th day and stayed on plan. Porridge, cookies and cream bar and just had a bolognese pot. Although truthful I wanted that bacon roll I smelt just before lunch when I was doing some shopping and resisted buying the...

Day 11 I lost 3 lbs since yesterday so a stone under my start weight now. Also a 3rd day for not falling off the bandwagon. I was so tempted to order a take away but thought no Gamy you need to do this and so will regret it later. So got the creamy thai pot meal and ate that instead with a pint...

Exante is hit and miss if it puts you in ketosis due to high carbs. I seem to fail on days 3/4 this is my 3rd day 3 so wish me luck 😂

It could be habit if you often graze around then. I'm sure you'll do fine tbh :)

Day 10 Double digits woot. I gained a pound, which isn't much of a surprise with TOTM, which explains the cravings as I seriously eat everything in sight prior to coming on. I had a fail day, but a good fail I guess. I ate two bars and forgot about the 3rd but did have some ham to munch on...

You burn calories just being alive with fitbit doesn't include so you might be ok

Day 9 So day at home today. I didn't weigh myself this morning as I forgot, but probably for the best right. So I had my 3 replacement meals as planned, which was great. Although I did forgot that I hadn't eaten my 2nd bar and was about to raid my fridge and eat everything in sight. I told...

Well done you. A great start

https://www.minimins.com/threads/gameys-exante-diary.370560/ This one is :)

Day 8 So officially 13lbs down from the start, which isn't all to bad considering I've not been fully commited. I plan to change that after tomorrow. Only reason being was breakfast was late and my bar was fine. Then late lunch due to Erika having to go to her best friends birthday party...

the run sounds fun. Let me know how you got on

You've got this coffee! I use nutracheck to track my calories and they have the exante products already built in so I can automatically add them also. I write everything in though.

It's up to you. I would say a roast wouldn't automatically tip you over the edge, watch out for the roast potatoes though! I also use nutracheck, which already has the exante products in to keep track of the other 200 calories too. I find it helps

Lost 13lbs this week, despite my slip ups. So hopefully can do better next week. But I have a lot to go still! AliGal 50lbs to go - 0lbs lost purpleorc 2lb lost 48lbs to lose GLL 50lbs to lose Zafira 50 lbs to lose but more like 80 lbs total.. Halley 5lbs lost 45lbs to go Bertie81 0.5lbs off...

Great tips from both of you! I'll give it a go. Day 7 Loss 2lbs yesterday morning. I had my bar for lunch and breakfast, had a snack of turkey so 110 calories. So seems like it was going to be a good day. Group work with a bunch of early 20 year olds with no motivation to do it got the...

Thank you for all the encouragement. Day 6 4lbs off today, so damage limitation sorted. I've figured if I'm bored I'm more likely to eat so I need to keep occupied I guess. It's more likely watching tv, I think it might be more habit having a snack. But I stayed strong and had my porridge and...

Can't believe they are taking so long to arrive! Have you tried DMing them or asking an admin on the Facebook page if you're on that? That can seem to move things along. As for the diary she start when you feel it's right. Would be interesting to follow you.

Day 5 Not surprised by the 3lb weight gain overnight. But today was a new day. I was up at the crack of dawn to shower and dress everyone by 6am as Morrison's delivery was due. No subs so nice healthy food plus Erika's in the house. With Erika back at school I had more time to focus on me. As...

Thanks. Has your delivery arrived yet? I ordered one either New years eve or day and it came yesterday. So I have enough products to last until mid Feb I think. We'll see. I struggled last two days and sabotaged myself but hopefully that's now behind me and I can move forward :D

Day 4 3lbs off this morning, no idea how! Was going well until lunch. I ran out of my daughter's food so we went to subway and the temptation got me, on the plus side I did have a healthish (minus crispy onions, cheese and light mayo) then evening went back to it. So probably not done too...

Day 3. Another 2lbs off. So half a stone in two days! Went well. I had my bar for breakfast, creamy thai pot for lunch then my double chocolate bar for tea then my guts hated me, which didn't help as I was fantasising about a steak all day but cravings kicked in and I managed to self...

I started yesterday also :) So I don't mind helping either :D

Day 2 of exante and so far all good, helped that I had a 5lb weight loss since yesterday. I started with the porridge pot, then a chocolate coconut bar and mint chocolate cookie, which is my personal favourite. I built my daughter's desk for her and her chair so that was good and I've now...

Adding myself into this. Hopefully it will keep me motivated AliGal 50lbs to lose purpleorc 2lb lost 48lbs to lose GLL 50lbs to lose Zafira 50 lbs to lose but more like 80 lbs total.. Halley 50lbs to lose Bertie81 0.5lbs off 49.5lbs to lose Lois 38lbs to lose Gamy 50lbs to lose

Day 1 It went well. I had two bars and a pot meal. I have a lot of weight to loose and seeing what I can do in that time. I forgot my 200 calorie snack as last time I tried it was the 600 calorie diet so something to get use too I guess.

So I didn't do that, but I did go to exante and stuck to their meal plan today so hopefully it will start coming off 🙂

So I'm lying in bed with the cat on me and realised I need to loose weight. I have no idea what I weigh but bras no longer fit me besides not being able to walk and do stuff. So off I go to slimming world tomorrow to rejoin. Strike whilst the irons hot after all

Are you having any counseling with the surgery? I'm on that pathway hopefully. I go back to see the consultant in a fortnight to find if I'm eligible or not. I will need a balloon possible too as I'll still have a stone to go before they can do the bypass. I also have a 3 year old so the...

Keep us updated. I can only do vlcd for a short period of time. so I'll follow your new one too

It should be doable good luck and let us know how you do.

Toilet trainning went terrible yesterday after two dry days. So we're trying again today, so far so good. I'm looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. I really want to be in the next stone braket, but will admit haven't stuck to it 100%. I think if it was me on my own it would be fine, but I...

Maybe measure yourself, also you might not be loosing pounds, you might be loosing inches :)

That's lovely what your eldest did. I can't remember what I did with my first pay check but pretty sure it wasn't given to my parents. Maybe try staying away from carbs and love lots of lovely salad, certainly the weather for it today. I'm not a big carb person anyway and could happily live...

That's great going. Hopefully today will be another good day.

That's great if they are noticing the difference. Sounds very yummy food choices but I'm really hungry today.

What I would suggest you do is have the 600kcal a day until you get use to it, then if you still feel that you need to go on a 400kcal then remove one more product as it wouldn't be such a shock for your body and more likely to stick to it. I won't say 35 is really that old, keeping in mind I'm...

Sometimes it takes a while for your body to readjust to its new lighter self, so will hold onto your weight. Once that passes it should shift again. Also things like TOTM can make you hold onto weight, so you'd get a sudden loss once she's gone.

I caved in yesterday and had some dinosaurs and chips. They were so nice. I ruled it off, but today stuck to it so far. I have one more product to go when my daughter goes to bed in about an hour. I've also switched from water to squash as the water i brought tastes strange. Maybe when I do...

That's great. I've gone up and down the scales so much over the last 4 years but have never lost a size, despite loosing a few stones. So hopefully I can get into something smaller soon and I'll use that as a motivator.

I'm on exante and would recommend them, as long as you don't go for their soups. They always seem to have some kind of offer on so it works out pretty cheap. The cherry and almond bars are amazing.

So I weighed myself this morning and despite having a wobbly Saturday I'm 7lbs down. So I'm currently just over 26st. I'm going to try and leave me next weigh in on Friday and then I can find out how much I lost in my first week. I didn't drink enough water yesterday which made me hungry...

Congrats on the 2lb lost.

That's fantastic! Keep up the good work

So I'm restarting the exante diet after 6 months off. In that time I got a new boyfriend, went on holiday and some how manage to maintain the weight I lost, which 2 stones for me isn't that big a deal. So Friday I had my 3 products fine, yesterday I slipped up as I had lunch around my...

6lbs off is great! That's almost half a stone. I hope I can follow your example.

Good luck whilst traveling. I'm starting today so going all for it.

Your doing well. Any tips for a restarter? I can do a few days but always manage to slip up then think screw it :/

Every 3-4 weeks you need a week off. This can be achieved by added 2o0 calories to your diet.

How are you currently coping with it? I had a wobbly weekend which lasted until Tuesday. But yesterday back on track. We all want this weight off and now I have something to focus on and a reason for doing it. What is your reason to loose weight?

Well, Monday turned into Wednesday, but all is good. I only managed a litre of water today, so going to up that tomorrow, had my 3 meals and even went for a 30 minute swim! Back at school tomorrow though so that should be interesting. I got rid of all the meals I didn't like so now only got...

Was actually good for two days. Kinda slipped over the weekend. But I know it works. I lost 9lbs over 2 days! I'm going to try again Monday as I can do this. I just need to sort out what I like and dislike and go from there!

Summer holiday's should be a breeze then. I've done one full day yesterday and lost 5lbs this morning so I'm happy about that. Hopefully that will keep me motivated today to do keep going.

Ok. Trying again. I decided to work on the exercise bit first, which I hopefully have got into a good routine. I do mornings first thing before a shower in my pj's. But if it gets it done then I don't mind. It generally gives me the will power to go shopping etc. I needed change so got some...

That's a good idea. Ordered some exercise dvds so I can do them as soon as my daughter goes to bed as I find I late night snack otherwise. I find shakes work well on school days due to lack of time in the morning and cereal bars or cookies work well at school although not found any I liked,but...

So I fell off the rails towards the end of the week. My daughter was sick, I had exam stress and decided calorific drinks are good for studying... So trying again, as I do actually like the diet. Minus the tomato soup but I never liked tomato soup normally. So I ended up STS this week, which...

STS this week. TOTM might have something to do with it, so I'm hoping for a decent loss next week. Finally down to my last exam on Friday so I should be back to normal soon

Day 1 went alright I managed to do the whole day, then my parents took me out for lunch today. However, it was one hopefully healthier choice, as lets face on all diets its either good or bad and they can't seem to make up their mind, so drawing a line and hopefully have something tonight if I...

I put 9lbs on since going back to college. I wasn't prepared. So going to see if I can get them off as well. So on track as of now so I'll up date you next week. Dolly Rocker 0/84lbs Gamy -9/140lbs Cynicalgirl 1.4/19lbs Roses 10/46lbs H-Meally 0/95lbs Camplestar 0/108lbs buffy 0/140lbs Susie...

Hello all, I know your not suppose to do these diets when you have a lot of weight to lose, but I can't really hack being over weight any more. I'm starting the diet today. I tried a few days before hand to make sure I like the diet, but something always came up. So now I have nothing until...

Not been a great week. I blame exam stress. But tomorrow going to get back on track. I'm going to conquer this weight. I even brought a zumba dvd to start on Monday (kid free that even yay)

Merry Christmas everyone. Let's all eat and be merry and screw the diet for a day.

I'm sorry that Tinsy was hit. Its such a shame :( I had to rescue a cat about to be hit by a car earlier. This car was parked and couldn't see the cat, the cat was still a kitten so wasn't streetwise yet.

I'm starting my diet boxing day so my first weight loss will be on the 2nd. I think if I don't do it then I will never start! I got my daughter new years eve so no going out for me so we'll probably watch a film together :)

I don't have that issue. I know I'm going for a meal on the 27th, but besides that I should be able to stick to it. My theory was as I have so much weight to loose (almost two whole people) I don't think it would make much of an issue

I'm going to start on Boxing Day. I know if I don't start then, I'll never start and then that would be terrible! My order should arrive tomorrow and I'm looking forward to starting it,

Well done on the 11lbs lost. That's great. And good for you sticking at it when things have been hard. I hope 2017 brings some much needed joy for you

Not to bad. Didn't loose anything this week, but due to TOTM I always put on, so beginning to loose it again. I'm trying to get some plan up together before uni starts as I know I'll be at my parents shortly after Christmas, so going to full start on the 1st, but not go overboard like I...

Maybe something a bit more festive since its the season. What colour is she? And well done on 2 stones!

My ex moved out. I seem to be in a bit more control of my diet and lost some more weight. Going to have a good go at this in the new year. Hopefully make a new me as well. Although still struggling to fit in meal prep around uni, so I might just resort to ready meals during the week and...

Dolly Rocker 0/84lbs Gamy 0/140lbs Although its not my final goal, I hope to get 10st light by next Christmas.

Freshers week this week. Got to go to uni for 3 days, but generally will be in everyday from next week. Good I don't have to get up so early today, can take my time today as the only thing which is compulsory is in the afternoon. I put on this week due to TOTM which is due any day, I put on...

27st 12lbs this morning. That's 13lbs going since last week. Should loose at least a pound by next week so that will be great :D

Yay my new scales arrived today. So starting from right now at 28st 11lbs, I will loose weight. Got no excuse now. :)

This seems a good idea. I'll start today, but don't start uni until the 19th September so about 2 months. I need to buy some scales to find out how much I weigh though.... That's on my to do list next week when I get paid :)

I think I need more time in my life as I just don't seem to have any. I've got some aspects of my life going fine. I got into uni with a conditional offer. College is doing well and getting grades better than what I was predicted. Working out all the things needed to do before I move with...

Well done on the weight loss. I bet your really pleased with yourself

Well done on the weight loss. Your doing really well. Hopefully that will be the kick up the butt I need!

I've had such a hectic weekend, which seems to be followed by a hectic week. Why isn't life just slow pace and calm. I need to up my exercise, I know that. I'm going to have to be really strict with myself come the evenings after Erika goes to bed. Diet hasn't been going to badly. Had lots...

We all have bad days, but at least your getting back on track. Keep up to good work.

Hi Essie, Couldn't have been that stressful, I managed to loose 4 and a 1/2 pounds this week. So pleased with myself. Lots of veggies for lunch. I'm doing well as I got a Merit in Maths and she's looking over my stats as it might be distinction, but it might only a merit. Its borderline...

That sounds like an interesting diet. If I didn't need to have dairy for my daughter I might try it. Its great when you stick to the plan, you'll feel the benefits of it soon I'm sure

Not doing to badly. I some how managed to skip lunch and replaced it with quavers and 3 biscuits. In my defense I was I've been finishing my essay due in tomorrow and whatever I wrote just didn't seem right. Still it was a bad excuse so having veggies and a steak tonight. Emotional I feel...

That's a brilliant first weight loss. I'm so pleased for you. Keep up to the hard work.

Going to come round and borrow some of your recipe books! You have loads. Anyone you recommend for someone who owns none? Keep up to good work, I know you can do this!

Day 2 didn't go to bad. I managed my syns well and had 3 good meals. I'm going out later, so maybe I can find a flask on my travels. I don't really mind salads but it gets tedious for 3 days in a row. I found a few pasta salad recipes which I might try. Sounds like you daughters and I will...

Hi Jo, That's a good idea, although I'm rubbish at alterations. However, my mum is a pro. I like the idea of buying something in a smaller size. I might try that, or buy something for myself when I get to a certain goal. Amy

Hi Alice, Sounds like a good NYR. I can totally understand about the cake. Left over Christmas cake just vanished from my fridge last night. My excuse was I needed syns as I hadn't any all day, but I don't think I can even justify the amount of cake I had for 15 syns! Never mind. New day...

Started great. I just got dumped. Never mind. One less thing to worry about. So right now I'm focusing on everything else I've got going on which is college to get into uni and my daughter. Apparently he's letting her come to Japan with me so he's letting me have her, which is great news...

Hi again, I got weighed in today as I thought the new year is starting soon and I haven't been to slimming world for a while. Wasn't to drastic, I did put on some weight but not everything and start on a nice round 28 stones. I've got a week to get back into the swing of things before college...

I missed slimming world last week as I spent it down the children's hospital as my daughters social worker thought I'd been abusing her. It was a mark where the elastic on the nappy rubbed. Not to say we waiting down there 2 hours to been seen. It was completely over the top. I'm still...

Its not that I can't come, its more to do with the fact I'd have my kids also, so it might ruin people's fun and obviously then have to think of age appropriate things etc.

I'm free every other weekend. My son only comes back every fortnight so I make it all about him. But not sure about the time in the holidays as he'll be away with various people, but the 20th June, and every fortnight after should be good.

Well done on your loss and wow at those steps. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll adjust to them :) Keep up to good work.

I did that lady, today in fact. I was over in Weston-Super-Mare again and enjoyed a stroll along the sea front, until baby decided there was to much rain for her to enjoy it from her totally sheltered pram, but found the tiniest hole to keep poking her hands out so got wet and cold. Wasn't all...

Sounds fun, but I might have to bring baby or 2 depending when it is, though if I can't get a sitter. I'm in Bristol

MY car broke again. I have some serious bad luck. Hopefully it shall be fixed tomorrow. Then maybe I can focus on dieting.

Being ill is great. It gives you a great boost when it comes to weight loss, although you feel awful at the time. I hope you feel 100% soon.

My scan went well and there was a little baby with a heart beat. My daughter did amazing waiting and I was very proud of her, despite the fuss at the end but since she's only 14 months and over an hour of waiting she did well. However, I've hurt my leg. I just sat down and when I got up it...

I love life. I really do. I've had some really bad stomach cramps lately so I went to the doctor. Seems I have a UTI so taking antibiotics for that and got an early scan tomorrow due to history possibly repeating itself. Only positive is no blood. I really need to catch a break at some...

Congratulations on the job offer, that's great news.

Grrrr. I hate the type of morning sickness I get. If I don't eat I feel sick, so I eat then 30minutes-1hour later I feel sick again and need to eat to make the feeling go away. I hate first trimester so much. Next week going to be far more prepare with veggie sticks in the fridge as I've...

Welcome to the forms. I hope you don't mind me asking but have you tried Angus Castus for your PCOS? I had irregular cycles before I got my BFP and found in that month it must have fixed my cycle and got me pregnant. Then again I was also dealing with fortnightly periods, not funny at all...

In the month I haven't been I've stayed the same. This is really good in all honesty. Means I can hopefully start loosing weight again. The only thing I've forgotten to pick up is milk. I'm sure I can get around to do that at some point today. I've also booked up a tots week in Butlins...

Tomorrow I'm going to Slimming World. Its going to be cheaper to rejoin as a new member again, but 3rd time lucky right. Going to have to take Erika with me, so not sure if I'll stay for the talk. I went to the doctor and he doesn't know anything about weight loss surgery. Suppose to get...

Thanks girls. He wants to get back together now. I tell you I honestly have no idea what is wrong with men at times. For now though its just going to be me and my kids. He will be a part of our lives for his daughters sake, but I'm not going to just jump back into our relationship. Going to...

My OH left me yesterday. I broke the news to him and he basically packed up and left yesterday. He must have been planning this for a while as he's got a flat according to his sister in law. He's not a man, just a coward. So although I'm happy and yet sad at the same time for the outcome. I...

My son was almost 7 when his sister was born. They have the best relationship in the world. I've just found out I'm pregnant again, so he'll be almost 9 and a half and DD will be 21 months.

You know my crazy life can't get more crazy and after I came to peace with everything and happy with life (minus weight). Well my body decided it wasn't happy and I took a pregnancy test this morning and its come back positive. I don't have time for this. Still going to talk to the GP...

I've really been slack lately. My mind is all over the place. My OH still isn't sure if he wants to stay or go. Which isn't very helpful when trying to plan my life. I'm finding it harder to walk due to lack of exercise and started thinking about weight loss surgery. I have an appointment...

Sorry I've not been on much. Life has just been dealing me with more things to deal with. Basically my car is broken and its debatable if its worth fixing and if it does get fixed its going to take a month to do. On the plus side I have to walk and take the bus everywhere, on the downside not...

I put 3 and a half pounds on and I have no idea how. I've been sticking to the plan daily. Really at a loss what to do, but if OH is moving out and for a while it will only be me cooking for myself, until Erika gets bigger then maybe I should do calorie counting for a bit. I've got a hetic...

Been mainly sticking to the plan. Had a few wobbles here and there so removed my syns for the day, but otherwise not a bad start. I think planning for me is doing me good. Although it cost a fortune to get up and running. I'm really just plodding along and being rather optimistic about life...

Must stick at this time... 5 weigh in's 2lbs a go. 10lbs should be no probs... she says... Estameme 10lbs to lose - 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go Susie - 10lbs to go - 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go Chezz - 10lbs to go - 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go Lauragoespop - 8lbs to lose - 0lbs lost - 8lbs to go...

Guess who wrote a meal plan and then went shopping for only the stuff she's going to make for the week. That's right me. I put on either 1lb or 1.5lbs last night, not 100% sure as book in the car and I had a screaming baby on my hands at the time of weighing so everything was going speedy...

Brilliant. I have a bad back so can hardly move due to the pain and my partner wants to break up with me. Got the doctor today so might mention the back pain on the list of things I need to ask after I have a hot bath and seeing if that helps. Currently unsure what will happen if I get stuck...

I find I stop posting when things happen and go off track diet wise. Maybe this is bad? Reason for lack of posting is I had a 12 day cycle and after a 14 day cycle just trying to get my head around it. Although I'm now not trying to get pregnant I would still like normal, or non existent...

He wasn't bad :) I've been so busy since it was Erika's birthday. I'm still pissed off with my BIL and his family. They were moaning that they wanted to see Erika for her birthday. So we decided fine, but we had something on in the morning so couldn't make until the afternoon. So we went...

I did some exercise yesterday. Only 10 minutes though of dance mat. I'm having issues with my body so I'm feeling a bit deflated. I guess getting older is taking its toll on me and my body just seems to be falling apart. I will however be making some meal plan for the month and making weekly...

Well done on the weight loss guys :)

I might try that today. I'm up early so can get them in now. I'm slightly annoyed my period is here again after just a 14 day break, so might go on birth control to regulate my cycles as this isn't helping my TTC. However it has made more determined to loose weight as I suspect that will also...

I've had a terrible weekend. I seem quite defeated. Going to do some exercise this evening when Erika goes to bed, as well as walking around the shopping Mall today. Martin (OH) is going to take her to ballet and we're going shopping in the center afterwards. Doesn't stop me browsing for...

Still 3 more weigh ins Bliss. You can achieve your goal no problem. Remain positive as its still a loss.

Well done Essie on your first weight loss of this month. If you keep up this pace you'll need to up your target. Laura as I said last week, still a pound off. What kind of diet are you doing? Anyway you can tweak it or get in some/more exercise in it to see faster results?

February for me was a whole down month! So trust me your not a failure. We all fall off the horse from time to time, but we dust ourselves off and get back on and start moving in the right direction. I'm still 2.5lbs away from my lowest this time, but I plan to get them off this week plus...

Sounds like some great ideas. I also posted in our groups facebook page and they mentioned either the slimming world ready meals or slow cooker, which I might do since I'm usually in all day on Thursdays. Its Erika's and mine down time since we go out to groups every other day in the week. I...

Seems I lost 3lbs yesterday, which is a great new start for me. I'm really pleased if that, so of course I had a treat night as I really don't want to cook after slimming world and putting the children to bed. What do you guys do on weigh in night as I need to brake this cycle as I guessing it...

Well done SJB. Only 2lbs before your next award.

3lbs off for me. Great new start so far. 1) Hershey - 140lbs to lose - 20.6lbs lost - 119.4lbs to go 2) Another Tracy -79lbs to lose -20.5lbs lost - 58.5lbs to go 3) CaroleM - 140lbs to lose - 35lbs lost - 105lbs to go 4) Bigbear - 126lbs to lose- 10lbs lost - 116 to go 5) S_J_B -...

Not a bad start considering I only started Sunday so not even a full week. Down 3lbs also. Welcome aboard Kate. The whole reason I started this was for motivation so feel free to join. Well done Dietduchess. 3lbs is great for the first weigh in of this month 1. Gamy - 14lbs to lose - 3lbs...

Yesterday was a good day, despite being busy. Breakfast: Strawberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberry and muller light Lunch: Ham, salad leaves, tomato, cucumber, radishes, celery 4x diarylea triangles (hea) Snack: 2x alpine bar light (heb) Dinner: Meat and egg loaf (pork mince 5% and...

That's some really good weight loss if you can see the results. Well done on keeping on track even whilst out. I'm currently finding that my downfall as everything looks so good!

Good losses there. We've lost 1st 4lbs so far and its not even the end of the week. Sorry you stayed the same grumpy. But even that is better than a gain! My turn this evening. I've only really been focused since the 1st March so hoping that will be enough to count towards a loss this week.

Not so good yesterday, but in all fairness I was hungry! We went to Weston-Super-Mare yesterday for a day out and did a ton of walking around the shops so hoping it combated some of the food I ate. We couldn't find subway so ended up in the harvester so god knows how much I ate, but I didn't...

Good luck snow. That's why I made this thread to begin with as I had such a bad Feb I wanted to get back on track. Lauragoespop that's a fantastic result. Keep up to good work.

Well done on the losses guys. The total of everyone's loss is already half a pound (plus a half) and that's with only 4 people weighing in!

It didn't go to bad yesterday either until I got a sore throat then finish all my ice syns. Never mind, I'll cut down on syns today. Breakfast: Strawberries, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, muller light. Lunch: Ham, salad leaves, cucumber, tomato, celery, radish, 4x diarylea light (HEA)...

1 and a half pounds are great Tracey. You'll also get 5 weigh ins this month so even if you loose 1 and a half pounds every week during this you'll only be half a pound away from your goal.

Well done on your loss. I find TOTM is always a pain for me and I put tons on or see a little loss. I'm glad you spoke to your cousin and your confidence is building and your on the road to recovery. Its a long road as I've been there, but the other side is just great. Keep up to good work.

I did it. I did day 1 again and it went well. Breakfast: Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes in a muller light strawberry yourghurt Lunch: Salad leaves, cucumber, celery, tomatos, ham and 4x diarylea triangles (hea) Snack: 2x alpine bars (heb) Dinner: Chicken and pork stir...

That's a great start laura. Better off than on in my book.

Good luck on your weight loss journey. I hope we can tackle it together. You drink way more than me. I'm lucky if I get 2l a day, so might tackle that issue first. Baby steps right.

Week didn't start off as planned. However, I've made a meal planner now and going to stick with that. I think the issues are, when traveling with a young baby she still needs to be fed, then I get tempted by food. I need to stay home around feeding times, just until I get the hang of the...

Since Feb was such a bad month for me, I felt overall I could have done worse. Now Feb is over and done with, I can focus on March and wipe the slate clean. 1) Hershey - 140lbs to lose - 19lbs lost - 121lbs to go 2) Another Tracy -79lbs to lose -19lbs lost - 60lbs to go 3) CaroleM - 140lbs...

I've been ill one week, then didn't update the following. I get weighed tomorrow so promise to update you all then. I've had a bit of a bad month, but going to be 100% dedicated now. Onwards and upwards so they say.

As no one had started one and we're coming to the end of February I thought I'd continue the monthly challenge. I do enjoy keeping progress and seeing if I can beat it, although last month started bad then remained bad, so new month, new challenge. Who else wants to join me. 1. Gamy - 14lbs...

I've been so slack this month after my massive weight gain. I'm calling off this month for me and starting a fresh in March. Although we haven't started one yet have we? Since I couldn't see one I started one called Melting March Challenge as we all want those pounds to melt away.

I just cleared out the fridge again this morning so no temptation now. Poured the left over wine from last night down the skin. No stopping me today! I did need a pick me up yesterday. I went out for coffee with some friends and a couple of them announced they were expecting. I'm happy for...

I have 2 kids. One is 7, 8 in April. He has autism, so can be hard work at times as well as really easy at others. Just depends if he's having a meltdown about something. Reasoning will not work. He currently goes to a special needs school and the difference in him since he started in...

I've been really ill to be honest so not been around, plus OH then was messing around on the computers so of course he broke mine, so now we're back. He probably is Susie, so that doesn't help, but then he doesn't force fed me, so I guess I need a bit more control also? But it's not easy! How...

Much better day today, stuck to the plan so all is good. I've done no exercise though, but been working hard on some new projects to keep myself busy, not that I had much free time. I have even less now! Breakfast: 1x alpine bar 3x babybel lights Lunch: Chicken, leek, carrot, mushroom...

I wish my OH would get it into his head that I want to loose weight. He brought more pizza and doughnuts yesterday. And I was doing well until then. Grrr. Today is a new day and I feel rather positive about it though. Going to baby ballet later then get some walking in whilst Erika has a...

It's called step to the beat for the wii. It arrived today and I actually did some. Only 15 minutes as getting a free minute to myself is hard enough as it is, but going to try and improve on that tomorrow. It records your weight, so you can change it when it goes down and gives you medals...

It depends as we have two vue cinema's in Bristol and they both have different seats. One I can sit in the normal seat with the arms up no issue, I also go when its quiet so I can sit where I want. But the other the arms don't go up I find issues with. Not tried the premium seats myself, but...

I need a new PC before I can play some of the newer games. I've been a gamer as long as I can remember, might have something to do with my dad being a programmer and having pcs in the house when I was tiny. Games I'm currently playing World of Warcraft (just about to start a youtube project on...

10.5lbs on. Could of been worse. Now going to claw that all back this week and hopefully get it all off next couple of weeks. My new game should be coming soon, so hopefully that will help. Its a walking game :)

10.5lbs on for me. I knew it was coming. Makes February an impossible task now though! 1. Hershey: 0lbs lost - 20lbs to go 2. PrincessSparklePants: 10lbs to lose - 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go 3. Lauragoespop: 2lb lost - 6lbs to go 4. Gamy: 10.5 gain - 24.5lbs to go 5. S_J_B 8lbs to lose -...

10.5lb gain from me. I knew it was going to be bad though. I'm hoping to get the majority of that weight off this week. Onward and upward. 1) Hershey - 140lbs to lose - 18.6lbs lost - 121.4lbs to go 2) Another Tracy -79lbs to lose -12lbs lost - 67lbs to go 3) CaroleM - 140lbs to lose -...

Well done on all your losses. I'm dreading my gain this week, but I know its coming. How much only time will tell. Hopefully it will give me the kick up the backside I need to get motivated again.

I think you spoke to soon Estameme. I'm having a real struggle getting back on my diet. I've been so naughty these past few days. I'm hoping it will correct itself after I get weighed in tomorrow. That I'm focused and want to loose weight again. Well its not that I don't want to loose...

Half way to your goal already grumpy space princess! Way to go.

Susie your post made a lot of sense. Thank you for your kind words. Your so right about stepping up to the plate. I stuck to the diet after going of track and I'm so happy. My stomach feels better so all round happier today. Breakfast: 2x alpine light (heb) Lunch: bacon, eggs, baked beans...

For me I have a 2x kit kat (2 fingers) and options hot chocolate (different flavours) daily. Sometimes I only have one kit kat if I've had a high syn week and always at the end of the day, just so I know its coming. With two kit kats is roughly 13 syns 250cals or with 1 8.5 syns 150 cals.

So over this weekend. I feel like a pig. I feel really sick to. Not use to all that junk. Back to the diet and back to plan now. Rule the last two days as a bit of fun, as clearly my body is paying for it now. Menu's starting again tomorrow as for now I feel crap.

Morning all. I had a lovely evening last night, still got some nibbles left over from last night, generally just chocolate and doughnuts (krispy kreme) as the saying goes eyes are bigger than the tummy, so going to finish what I can today, but do SP meals to combat that all. Hopefully if its...

I just have an interest in Japan, since I was 12. I want to teach my daughter a second language, so it will really kill 2 birds with 1 stone, although we might change it to Spanish, we're not 100% sure yet. I'm going to write today off also. OH is surprising me with dinner out today and there...

Funeral was lovely. It was 9.30 in the morning. He had such a tiny coffin. It was a very private service with only a handful of people there. So I really enjoyed it, despite grieving at the time. My daughter soon wiped me back into shape though afterwards. Amazing how kids have no sense of...

I'm with SJB only at class, but I chucked out the scales when I was moving last year so that helps a lot. I like the anticipation of finding how much I loose. Plus I won't be pushing myself harder during TOTM when apparently my weight loss is all over the place.

Forgot to edit my lbs to go. Your all right. I had a chinese to cheer myself up and didn't enjoy it, so my taste buds are changing. Guess that's good. Back to the diet 100% next week. 1) Hershey - 140lbs to lose - 18.6lbs lost - 121.4lbs to go 2) Another Tracy -79lbs to lose - 4lbs lost -...

2lbs off for me. So made my goal and beat it by one, which was to be under 26stones. Hershey 1.4lbs to go 18.6lbs lost Jayde 1lb to go 4lbs lost Bigbear 10lbs to go 4lbs lost Destamia 20 lbs to lose -17,5 lbs lost - 2,5 lbs to go Jules1981 8 lbs to go- 6 lbs lost LottieBird 15.5 lbs to...

Bit gutted at weigh in tonight. I did really well, stuck to my diet, but only managed 2lbs loss. I know that's normal, but the only thing I can think of effect my weight loss is my period is here and heavier than normal. 1) Hershey - 140lbs to lose - 18.6lbs lost - 121.4lbs to go 2) Another...

Just a quick question as its my first weigh in on my period. I was really good on slimming world and did SP all but one 1, but lost less than when I was doing just Extra Easy. Could it be possible that the weight loss was so small due to being only on day 2 of my period?

That must have been quite daunting for you. I wouldn't of managed to handle myself that well in that situation. Congratulations for coping so well with it. Glad you kept up with your plan. Keep it up

I'll see if my theory is true. If Carole lost 4.5, that means I should loose that today. Be great if I have. Congrats on the weight loss and way to go Carole smashing that target. I agree Mrs S 11lbs is a huge lost. It also looks right on track for your year goal also. Grumpy Space...

I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to the funeral. I just hope I've made the right choices for Daniel. It won't be long, there is only a handful of going. Then back to usual mummy things with my daughter. I can foresee today being a long day. However, looking forward to weigh in tonight...

That's a great achievement. Both the bus and the running. I should send my son over to you as he'd spend all day on the buses given the chance. Keep at it.

I'm the same JAS. I'm coming up to the point I give up soon, which is normally 1-2 month mark. Hopefully together we can motivate each other through it. I don't think its a miracle amount due to your size, now if you were 15st trying to get to 11 then maybe, but we're both big girls so the...

Congrats snowbryneich, the SP plan really works wonders. I do it alternate weeks, so this is my 2nd time doing it so hoping to see good weight loss tomorrow. I have to do weeks rather than days as I get so confused otherwise. I blame that on kids.

well down snowbryneich. An amazing lost this week and so close to target. Nazia, I agree you had a lot on and at least you know why. Always next months challenge.

Thanks Jas. We haven't got a date yet, but I want a baby first I think. So it depends on when I get pregnant again, then I want to get married on a cruise or aboard, so then its deciding where and since they are set times its more when they go. So I have a lot of time to achieve my goals, but...

Lovely weight losses for you guys. Some real big numbers.

Well done for all those weight losses this week. Congratulations Susie for hitting your target.

If I sent Erika to baby ballet daily, I'd be one toned person in no time. All that lifting to a 20lbs baby isn't easy! Even the thin mummies have issues and give up half way through. I preserver as it must be good exercise right. Anyway after baby ballet, I took my gran shopping, so she...

Congratulations on the wedding news. I got engaged New Years Day so haven't even started wedding planning yet! 4 stones should be doable by June. I haven't tried any exercise yet, minus running around after my kids, but I will start one day. I might even take SJB's advise and do the walking...

Hershey: 0lbs lost - 20lbs to go PrincessSparklePants: 10lbs to lose - 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go Lauragoespop: 0 lost - 8lbs to go Gamy: 0 lost - 14lbs to go Think I'll go for a stone this month :)

Not a lot to report yesterday. Nothing really has changed. Waiting for payday so I can go shopping, but that's about it really. Breakfast: 2x cereal bars heb Lunch: Baked beans, eggs, pek gold pork (forgot to syn yesterday) 4x diarylea triangles Dinner: Steak, courgette, carrot, swede...

That's a huge change in one week. Keep up to good work.

Coke Zero is fine on slimming world. So carry on drinking it, just cut out the bread. I generally just have cereal bars or porridge for my heb

PMS is terrible. I keep getting cross with everyone and stupid AF just won't come. She's taking an extended holiday. I hope she gets a wiggle on as she's being bloody annoying. Breakfast: Quaker multigrain porridge Heb Lunch: Omelet, onion, ham, baked beans and cocktail sausages (7.5 syns)...

Well done on the weight losses girls. A pound off is great!

Almost had to miss it as I had a visitor who refused to leave. Luckily my consultant ran a later group, but OH couldn't come as he had to babysit, so he's weighing in on Saturday. I did get 4.5lbs off so well pleased with that, 1st 2.5lbs in 3 weeks in total. I wanted 5, to get under 26...

4.5lbs loss from me this week. Its slowly getting down. I seem to be similar weight to Carole weekly so next week I'll see if we hit the same again. Hershey 2.4lbs to go 17.6lbs lost Jayde 5 lbs to go 3lbs lost Bigbear 10lbs to go 4lbs lost Destamia 20 lbs to lose -15lbs lost - 5 lbs to go...

Snowbryneich, I'm sorry you had a bad week. Hopefully next week will be better for you and you get your asthma under control. AFM I lost 4.5lbs so I'm happy with that. 1) Hershey - 140lbs to lose - 17.6lbs lost - 122.4lbs to go 2) Another Tracy -79lbs to lose - 4lbs lost - 75lbs to go 3)...

You might be fine. I'm 5'5 and was 27st at my heaviest and I have no health issues at all. I get tested every pregnancy for various health conditions and these all come back fine. But if your worried get it checked out. The GP might be able to give you a 12 week gym membership if your obese...

Good weight loss girls. As others said Mrs.S don't worry about it. You'll see a good weight loss next week I'm sure of it.

Reason why you were hungry last night is your body feds itself through the night and since most of us are a sleep, we don't feel it doing it. If your awake you'll get hungry and then think what can I eat. So if it happens again have some fruit or carrot sticks on hand to munch away the cravings.

I love gaming and my name is Amy so Gamy just kind of fitted me.

Its next week Susie, but I'm feeling more positive today. Could be as I get weighed this evening and looking forward to it. I'm hoping to still go to SW after the funeral next week so going to try being really good next week and hoping to change a negative day into a positive evening. I'm...

Good weight loss for everyone who has recently weighed in. 7lbs first week blackbbwuk is great!

To answer your question Estameme a bit of everything. I've brought so many over the years and hardly used them, also I have some fitness games for the wii, so going to get new batteries soon as I keep forgetting. They are more interactive and I enjoy them more I guess. I did promise myself...

I'm glad your getting out and about. Even if its the early hours of the morning, plus your brave facing this weather! I still have young children (7 years and 10 months) so I have to go out more or less daily, be it waiting for my sons bus or taking my daughter to her mummy and baby...

Was feeling pretty sorry for myself so went over my syns yesterday, not by much thought so hopefully it shouldn't do to much damage. I was spotting prior to the weekend, then all weekend nothing. Then yesterday came back to on/off spotting. Still there this morning but I really just wish my...

So I had another good day yesterday. Motivation is still lasting, although I've never made a diet pass the 2 month mark. I get bored and miss food. Yesterdays menu Breakfast: Quaker multigrain honey porridge heb Lunch: Rice, chicken, bacon (no fat), peas, mushrooms, onion, tomato, spices...

Carole my goal is the same as yours this week. My theory is if I work towards every half stone reward it won't make it feel as long/hard. Hi Estameme, you'll get that weight off in no time. What diet are you following?

You have one more week Destamia for that 5lbs. I hope you you manage it and congratulation on your loss.

My OH isn't romantic at all. But on the plus side he did let me pick out my own engagement ring, so I guess if I buy the ring its a bit hard to propose to. I'm not a fan of diamonds so got an amethyst band instead. That's a great idea ladyfelsham. I'll give it a go. Any my meal times...

Well done on the weight losses. That's great we've lost that much as a group. I like how you update how much we've lost hershey, as it feels like I've contributed to something worth while.

Well done, we're doing really well. Good job on all the new weight losses.

Thanks ladies. My cycles are all messed up because of it which isn't what you want when TTC, but these things happen and we just get on with it. I think yesterday went well. Breakfast 2x alpine light bars Heb Lunch 4x laughing cow light Hea, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, ham, celery...

Well done PR and Chezz. We'll get these targets in no time if we keep it up

Hi guys. Well as a few of you know I've been doing slimming world for 2 weeks now and lost 2.5lbs on my first week and 9.5lbs on my second, giving me a lovely weight loss of 12lbs in total. So I'm thrilled with that. The reason I joined slimming world was for 2 reasons. 1) On the 2nd was I...

I had a late miscarriage over Christmas due to sepsis. So I thought I was going to join once I gave birth and technically I had, so I kept my word and hopefully it will help me conceive my rainbow baby quicker.
