Just wondering is this useful as I'm thinking of buying one, thanks x

So here I am 1lb down. Was a little disappointed but realised that I won't lose this weight overnight so I have to learn to love the single pounds!

What's everyone hoping to lose this week?

Down 1, 6.5 in total...1 an a half to go! X

Hi, I have IBS too, I've been taking colpermin to help and drinking the peppermint tea. Hopefully our bodies will adapt soon enough!

My old consultant used to do this too. It is a bit annoying esp when sw let you pick your own targets! The thinking behind it she said, was that if you said you would aim for 3lbs you'd lose one, if you said you'd aim for one you would sts. ........I changed groups lol.

Yep I just poured a little soy over them first x

I'd love to be a teacher, teaching history and english. I love medieval history, what's your favorite era? Failing teaching I would LOVE something in geneology or archieves

Nope, being good as gold! Tpbm has a secret they want to share

Hiya, reading your post made me a little upset, as I hate the thoughts of someone beating themselves up over their weight. 14 stone is not morbidly obese. Try to relax and love yourself a little, stay positive and enjoy a healthy attitude towards food xx

I weighed myself and had a gain but when I went to class I had a loss. Also there seems to be mixed reactions to sp weeks. Try to relax and enjoy a healthy lifestyle

I have a hello kitty scales

10036 steps today, 7000 yester day.......48,804 to go, less the half woohoo

Happy birthday and good luck for your week ahead xxx

Everyone is doing so well here!! So excited lol

Only 6000 today....65,840 steps to go! Xx

I do I love to wear a dress when I'm out The person below me is deathly afraid of ducks

What's everyone hoping for next week?

Thanks Mrs! Yeah if I don't lose weight ill drive by cake my mams house lol

That's fantastic. I hope you have a happy healthy life together x

The best thing you can do for yourself is to learn to cook. Once you'll start your learn how simple it is, you can make meals on a Sunday and free them. Even a stir fry can be as quick as heating up a ready meal x

W oooooooooooooooohhhhhhh!! Go you!! Delighted for ya!

Have a great night!

Sheepy we should buddy up, I want to lose 6 stone before September because my other half said he's ready for a baby too!! I also swore to myself I'd be close to a healthy weight when I conceive! Snap! Lol

I have 6 siblings too!! Would love to have a big family but I think I'd change my mind after the first one of two haha! Those headaches sound awful. I knew a woman that went blind with her headaches it sounds similar. Well done for getting back on the exercise wagon! I'm a savory girl too so...

Maybe it's because you cut your carbs down. Of all food groups our body needs carbohydrate the most. Your body could be conserving energy in the form of fat as it's not getting enough energy in the form of carbs. Just a thought x

My consultant says and I agree, that if you don't go out often then when you do enjoy yourself. It's a special occasion so I would relax have what I want, enjoy my night and make sure I would go straight back the next day.

Personally though i would feel sorry for her having to do that, but I think I would find another class. Her parents or husband should take the child not fair on the baba either.

I lost 3 so I'm delighted with that! Staying in my mams overnight and they keep trying to stuff me with chocolate kimberlys and cake!! I'm just gonna keep my next weigh in in mind cos I have about 7 stone to lose! x

Mine was at a weight loss seminar in loughlinstown hospital with people who were too large to stand. Every person in that room said they had knee and back pain which I also suffer from. We all had the same problems with gradual weight gain and I just thought if I don't do something now it'll be...

That's disgusting behavior and reflects on them far more then you. I bet you were just as gorgeous at your heaviest!

2.5 is great. Well done you

We all did great this week!

Don't quote me on it ill call the hot line and find out as there is a bit of a debate about them. There is little or no calories so they would be one syn at most but I will update you on it tomorrow xx

It's super simple. Get some rice paper, soak a sheet for 30 seconds in warm water and place on a damp clean teatowel. In the centre place beansprouts and strips of courgette Carrott and mushroom, add some soy and wrap it up. Place on a hot baking tray and spray all over with frylight. You have...

Weighed in today at a loss of 3lbs. Tricked myself with an at home weigh in during the week where I was 5 lb down so it did take away from the loss. Took the batteries out of my scales! Still happy with 3. Went into an Asian food shop and got some rice paper and made hm syn free spring rolls...

I don't like that syns are called syns it's a little negative for my tastes. I get what they're trying to do tho

When I feel down about something I feel like I've failed in, my boyfriend always says "you can't fail until the day you give up trying"

The best thing my consultant has said to me is to relax a bit about my syns. They are there to be used and a little bit of what you fancy does you good. I find if your too strict on yourself you'll eventually throw caution to the wind and have a syn blowout. Having pizza the odd time is little...

Thanks Anju, if I can do as well as you have i'd be laughing!

I went to the dr's as I get similar pains, basically on my star week its like having a stomach bug, I get bad runs as well. I went to the dr and he said it will get better when I lose weight but only time will tell I guess! sorry your feeling poorly :hug99:

Couldnt have said it betteh than lickthelid, try and enjoy the nights you have and don't get too stressed about it, sw has to fit in with life not the other way around. bring free food snacks with you when you can, eat well before you drink, prepare food for when you come home drunk and hungary...

grrr ah well at least i'll be expecting it now! thanks everyone :D

wow reading all those achievements makes you feel so positive about slimming world! sometimes when people are dieting they are really negative about what they can't have etc, I have yet to come across those kinds of people on slimming world! everyone seems so positive! I'm also proud i said no...

Hi girls, just wondering if your TOTM slows your weight loss or even makes you gain?

I found out lol i'm a bit thick sometimes. My mam and dad are having a dinner for all the family today (about 27ppl going) I am really hoping I can stay within my syns. there is ham and roast beef which I can have but i might just fill up on free food before I go. i'm not drinking so fingers...

it is healthy to lose 1-2lb a week in order not to tax your body. My consultant had a chat with me about relaxing about the wednesday weight in. and she was right, it's not about the week to week goal of getting weighed, its about changing your life for good. if you focus too much on the weigh...

Wow well done, thats great! it's so hard at the time but once the moment passes you feel great for saying no

Just think- the you that started in march would never believe that you would be TWO STONE lighter in just a few small months. who knows what weight you would have put on had you not joined. remember thats 28 packs of butter, you would be so fed up carrying those around every day! don't give up...

you should be so proud of yourself, thats a real achievment!

didnt eat the chocolate lurking in the press!

I drink mine with sparkling water and lots of ice its lovely, especially the apple and pear one, or strawberry and lime from tesco

awh fab thanks, love popcorn!

wow youve done fantastic! I hope i can do as well after just 12 weeks! weight loss has been slow for me, 1.5 off first week and .5 off the second...hopefully it'll speed up. you SHOULD be proud of that, what an achievement!

you could try different veg or fruit youve never tried like salsfy, cassava, chow chow fruit, lychees..if you play around you might find something you really enjoy!

I think it'd be a great boost to us to say one thing weve done on our SW journey to make us feel proud. You can post something youve done just today or overall, anything to bring that confidence level up! I'll start: I'm proud of breaking the cycle and making myself go to group when I had a...

great thread. i think this quote is great "if i quit now i'll be right back where I started- and when I started I was desperatly wishing to be where I am now" this is true even if your 1lb down but have your head in the right place!

ooh i love them! yey thank you!!!

Hi guys, i wonder can anyone give me any free or low syn ideas for nibbles to make for movie night so i stay away from the ridiculously high pop corn? thanks x

thanks! this is probably a stupid question but how do you actually post pics? doh!

i just tasted it and to me it tastes like cottage cheese if it wasnt in lumps if that makes sense haha. its supposed to be yummy with some nutella mixed in (synned of course) I added it to my curry as a sauce and it was lovely

Hello folks! My name is wendy aka glittermonkey here on minimins! I have a lot of weight to lose and was stuck in a rut until i found SW. I have been on every diet possible and racked up a lot of stones, which I am now ready to lose! please drop in for chats and comments i will be posting pics...

Hiya and welcome! slimming world will work for you as long as you stay on plan. its very easy, you can eat so much food that sometimes its as if i have to go out of my way to "break it". you can have a SW fry which can be lean rashers, eggs, beans, mallons sausages if you like and toast. on top...

I have no link as i just make it up as i go along. I am making it for dinner durng the week so i will write it down and post on here with pics, but basically i mix a tub of quark, fat free fromage frais, garlic powder, garam masala, tumeric, cumin and some coconut essence and mix it up. there is...

I am looking to expand my horizons in terms of sw free food and i wonder can anyone tell me of an exotic fruit/veg/interesting item from the asian/polish/ethnic supermarkets to buy. so far i have used those shops to buy coconut essence to make FREE KORMA (still cant get over that!) If anyone...

Could someone tell me how many syns is in plain chicken wings with the skins on? sprayed and roasted in the oven with chillies etc... im confused as the book says 2 but something i read says the tiny ones are more but the ones you but in tesco are quite big...thanks in advance!

Hi just letting you all know i went into an asian supermarket and got coconut essence for 99p, they have a whole load of essences i also got mango, pineapple and even chocolate!

your right it wasnt! after all my complaining and i almost didnt go, i lost half a pound! ive never been so delighted to lose half a pound before! thanks to all your kind words i faced the music..and i won a raffle for some veg!

llamasoks what a lovely thing to say thanks you your so right! i will go to WI and just face the music. before i joined i was lost and my weight went up and up to 18st which is shocking as i put this on in 3 years. youve all put me in the right headspace and i feel like i can just jump back on...

haha that takes me back, my granny always said that! thanks elvis :)

thanks everyone your right- i would regret not going to class. youve all actually helped a lot! i suppose nobody is 100% perfect all i time i just need to get out of the habit of failing once and abadoning the whole thing. I suppose if a painter made a tiny mistake on his painting he'd just fix...
