It's all about small steps moo! You'll be a jump rope pro before you know it! 15 mins a day is great because it's achievable! I'm ok thanks, just glad I've finished night shifts so I can have 3 meals a day at normal times rather than 2 at very odd times!

Great ESC food moo! How do you do the Thai dip? It sounds really nice. Well done for the 300g loss, that's more than half a pound!

I feel the same about SP - really don't like the way it restricts certain fruits! Seems like you've had a great week though. Wishing you all the best for weigh in today!

Well done lovely moo! So proud of you! Online membership gives you the book and online access to recipes, syn calculators, occasional live chat etc!

Yaaaayyy! I'd love to go to class but it'd never happen with my shifts. Online membership and minis do the job for me! :)

Excellent news cat!

Ooooo that is romantic! How are you going to cook the pak choi?

Subbing! SW dream team!

Ohhhhhh I see! I love Eurovision Song Contest! :D. When is it?

Hey there dream team! Hope everyone has had a good Tuesday! How was your first sw meeting cat? Good move on clearing the house of naughty foods Bev, it makes all the difference! I'm ok thanks moo. I had an amazing time at that wedding on Saturday but I ate very badly all weekend! I was supposed...

Yaaaaaayyy! (What's ESC)?

Moo, keep going my dear. We're all on the journey with you! Welcome back Bev! Yaaaayy cat you're joining the club!

Ooo what is Ham bake? It looks nice!

You look absolutely fantastic!

Proud of you Moo - you never let a bad day hold you down!

MC you're on fire!

Aww that's a lovely dress moo! Really suits you!

Yaaaay well done! Your hair looks lovely xx

Send us a picture of your hair!

Moo you've done so well this week. I'm rooting for you at weigh in! Are you going to your usual far away group? I loved those morrisons salads when I was in birmingham last week, I just wish I had a morrisons in liverpool!

You're doing great MC!

Glad you had such a great day! You're on fire moo! Maybe substitute rice for grated cauliflower. It does the job!

Yay hez! Welcome back! Moo your measurements are brilliant and having see you in person, I can say you look toned with all the right proportions! Well done on avoiding the sandwiches today. Your food pics look SO good!

Your breakfast looks yummy. I'm craving pasta and sauce now too but I think I'm going to have a red day! Ooo what do you stuff your peppers with? Great news about you finishing early today! Enjoy!

You brightened my day yesterday moo! I love a good chat! Thank you! It's my Last day in Birmingham today. Think I'll just be hanging around coffee shops doing my essay ? until it's time to get the train back. Or I may watch YouTube videos on how to make sushi :D Oh my goodness the dolmas...

It's great that you've jumped straight in and are so excited about it all. It's really admirable that you've drawn a line under the lunch time happenings rather than just writing off the whole day. It's a really good mindset to have! Because you're carrying on with the plan rather than letting...

I hope today goes ok moo. It sounds like you were a busy lady yesterday. Lots of body magic!

Thanks binkybonk. You guys are so encouraging - day is going well so far! Hope everyone has a really great start to the week. Moo I'm so excited about potentially meeting this week! Eeeeee! :D

You can do this moo x

Oh you guys are so lovely! Thank you! Well I completely and utterly failed today and went back to bad habits but tomorrow is a new day right? :)

Hey moo! I Love the good news, it's cheered me up! I'm staying at some sort of Hilton but Im not sure which. It would be great to meet for tea/coffee! That's a good idea about choosing one thing to spend syns on! I feel really sad because this is the first week I've struggled on sw where I've...

Yay you're ok! Gosh I know the feeling when you're away and can't cook for yourself but like blondcat said, you can totally get back on it! I'm gonna be in a hotel in Birmingham mon- thurs so I'm really worried about what I'll eat. Any tips would be much appreciated! Hope the sun is shining...

Hope you're ok dearest Moo xx

Woohoo! Well done moo! Yum yum, I feel like a burger now xx

Hey there lovely moo! I did well on sw during the week then went totally off plan from fri-sun but I don't mind. I'm back on it this week. I still haven't weighed myself since honeymoon because I think it'll make me sad. I'm just focusing on eating well! I'll probably weigh after 3 full weeks of...

Great to hear from you MC. Well done for the past 2 weeks! Xx

Hey there Moo. Missing you on here, hope you're ok and have had a lovely Easter xx

Well done on your exercise! Try not to be too hard on yourself moo. When you exercise hard your body needs more food so let it have it as long as it's good stuff. If you're hungry don't deprive yourself because it'll bite you in the bum later and make it more likely for a binge! I often eat that...

Wow moo this is just phenomenal. You're such an inspiration. Well done!

Oh Moo, honeymoon was the absolute dream but I really injured my hip when I was out there exercising, sightseeing and climbing mountains. I'm not quite back in the routine as I've got to take a week or two off exercise to allow my hip to heal again. I'm waiting on a sainsburys delivery of SP...

Have a wonderful day moo xx

Oooo great news about the bikes! You look great moo and will look even more stunning in two months time! We're traveling back from honeymoon today. I must've put on about 7kg despite going to the gym several times. Oh well, I'll just get back into sw when I'm home and not regret the wonderful...

Excellent work moo!

Well done moo

Hey moo. Thinking about you. I'm sorry to hear the moving thing hasn't gone to plan. I'm hoping it all works out soon. Don't worry about sw, there are more important things going on right now. When the time is right you'll get back on it and be fantastic. Well done on how well you've done so...

Welcome back moo! Wow what an exciting time for you. It's great that you had a fantastic time at home and you didn't have a ridiculous gain. You must be making vey good choices! I didn't know you were moving house! How is the new place? How have your first few days at the new job been? Don't...

You look great MC!

Wow Estonia looks stunning! I've always wanted to visit but now I want to even more. It looks amazing even without sun. Your new haircut really suits you!

Ooooo send us a picture! I bet everyone was so proud of you when they saw how much weight you've lost!

Have an amazing time moo, you deserve it! Xx

It's ok moo, life events can make it hard to stay on plan but you're so strong and determined it'll all be ok. You're wonderful xx

Aww that coat is so cute!

I find it's good for a boost but it's not particularly enjoyable. It's essentially a high protein low carb diet. I find doing the red/original days gives the same results and is less restrictive!

Oh my gosh what a difference! Well done!

By the way, if you go down a back size you're supposed to go up a cup. Maybe that's why you've noticed spilling over when you go down a back size...

Hey there moo! I've had 3 bra fittings in 6 months because I keep shrinking! I'd highly recommend debenhams. They're really good and you don't need to get top half naked or anything. One lady will measure you with your bra on then bring in sizes that might fit. She will then let you try each one...

Yaaaaaayyyy well done!

Well done moo! 8kg?! Easy for you to do because you're a rockstar!

Yum yum yum

Happy Valentine's Day moo!

Yeah it's the same here but I didn't realise it was today until you mentioned it!

When you stop yourself having it does it reduce your cravings in the end? I just have chocolate every day but within syns. Really wish I could cut it out altogether! ?

Donkey! How are you doing? Hope you're ok x

OMG moo that's amazing! Congratulations! Yaaaaaaayyyy! I'll drop my crutches in your honour to celebrate your job news. Wow you must be so relieved! When do you start? You look wonderful in your pics too. Great outfit! Cat you must be so strong. How do you go without sugar?! Xx

Fingers and toes crossed for job news moo!

Really glad you had a nice time at the party moo. You work so hard you deserve a nice night off! Tomorrow is a new and wonderful day xx

Oooo that looks so tasty!

Proud of you Moo xx

Good luck with the application Moo! You are great and such a hard worker. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to see that. Don't worry about your English - it seems to me that you are excellent at communicating with people. It doesn't matter about the tiny details! Wishing you all the best dear Moo...

Yummy, I want to try them all! Thank you moo!

You can do it moo. You're superwoman. Tell me about this chicken soup. I'd love a good chicken soup recipe :)

I echo blondcat

Easy! Woohoo!

Well done moo :D xx

Remember moo, you're a hero. You inspire so many people on here. We all have bad days and good days and you handle the bad days with such dignity. You've done really well this week xx

Hey moo. You must be so excited about going home! Everyone is going to be so proud of you when they see how well you've done! It is indeed nearly a month of married life. You have great memory! I'm loving every second of it. I'm not doing so well because I had an operation on my hip...

Moo have a look at your tongue and the roof of your mouth. Are there white spots? You may have oral thrush because of the antibiotics? I feel the same way about alcohol. I miss it but would rather spend my syns on cake/chocolate/olives/chorizo! I hope you feel better soon my dear Xx

Subbing again. I've Been quiet but been following you through 5:2 and you're so inspirational. You'll do great Stevie

Great news on the Botox! Yeah sp isn't for everyone. I don't know why they changed plans that were working so well! When I need a boost I just do original and I get results! Lunches at work can be the make or break. I'm currently eating soup and a load of fruit for my lunches at work this...

Hugs and get well wishes to you moo xx

Aww I'm wishing that you feel better soon!

Well done moo! I told you, you're a hero! So pleased for you!

Moo you're my hero

Wow the snowball soup sounds delicious but complicated to make! I fail trying to poach an egg so I will probably also fail trying to make the snowballs :(

Yay! Happy new year and welcome back! Food looks lush. Ugh EE SP stresses me out. I went straight back to SW with EE SP and it's not enjoyable. You've got the right idea jumping back in with good old EE!

PS I tried the curry and it was WONDERFUL! Having some more tonight. Thank you moo!

Ahhh that's all music to my ears moo. Well done! Love that dress!

Yum yum yum. Thanks moo, I'm so excited about this! Your day sounds lovely, I hope you really enjoy it! You deserve some moo time xx

I don't have that extra easy book moo. Ahh I love yogurt and used to enjoy having 1 a day at breakfast so I'm finding it hard having no yogurt for a whole week! I don't eat a lot of pasta, potato and rice but I'll have one portion about twice a week so it's weird having none for 7 days! I think...

Moo what's the recipe for your chicken and bean curry? What beans are they? It looks fantastic! I want to try it for dinner tonight. I normally make a pizza with cauliflower base on a Friday but being on extra easy SP right now means less cheese than I would've had on an original day, so can't...

Your post made me smile. Life and off-plan happens but you enjoy it then get back to plan! My week on plan so far has been fine but I don't really like Extra Easy SP. I'm sticking to it but definitely couldn't do more than 7 days at a time which is fine I suppose because they don't recommend...

That's so unfair of your work. I really hope they're not being mean to you about it - text is so unreliable! I'm very intrigued by these kettlebells you do. I may try it in the gym today. I'm in Liverpool but transport links are pretty good so I don't really mind where we meet! I'm doing...

Ahh I'm glad you enjoy work! I miss work as i don't have a training post at the moment so I'm just picking up ad hoc A&E shifts where I can. The MA was super tough to do while I was still working but now I'm off until after my operation, I have a bit of leeway. I've got an assignment due in a...

Oooo that dressing looks very exciting moo! I'm so inspired by your recipes! I'm Back on plan today after 19 days off for Christmas, the wedding and minimoon. Goodness knows how much weight I've gained but I've decided I will go back on plan today and then not weigh in for another two weeks...

The directories are great but I keep forgetting to take them shopping with me! How has your weekend been? Today is my last day off plan (18 days in total). I'm not going to weigh in for two weeks though because I don't want to regret being off plan for my wedding and minimoon! Are you fully...

Moo you're doing so well! You look wonderful! Really loving those dresses :D. That award will be yours in no time!

Well done donkey! Great to see you so positive about things. I really need to get back on plan!

Moo you make me smile! :)

Best day of my life donkey, I feel so weird now it's over! How was your Christmas?

You look beautiful moo!

Yaaaayyyy! Hi donkey! Happy new year!

Moo thank you so much. I had the best day of my life! Glad to see things are going to plan for you. 2015 is gonna be a good year for you moo! Xx

You look amazing MC. Well done! Have a wonderful Christmas xx

Merry Christmas dearest moo. Xx

Ooooo moo, those yoghurts look delicious!

Moo you have admirers! :D

Moo you look beautiful in your purple coat! Xx

You can so this lovely moo. We're all behind you. This is just a phase - probably because of your vitamin deficiencies but it will pass and you get right back on plan. This won't stop you getting to your targets. You're superwoman! Xx

Hey donkey glad to hear from you. It's good you have a plan. This is a great time of year so enjoy yourself! Really hope your pain and health issues sort themselves out soon! Xx

Moo you're a super woman! So strong! You're so selfless too - thinking about your co-workers when trying to decide about the new job. You're such an inspiration

Great news about going home and your friend possibly visiting! That KB workout sounds tough! 4.5 weeks until the wedding moo! I fear my weight loss is slowing down :(. It's my final wedding dress fitting tomorrow. I hope it looks good!

So glad to hear things are going well and you're happy! We miss you on here but it's wonderful that things are going swimmingly :)

Glad to know you're ok moo!

We saw the hunger games one. It was amazing! Annoyed though because I took 10 syns worth of snacks but the OH took about 150 and it all seemed so tasty! I resisted apart from trying one of each flavour of popcorn (walkers sensations have some amazing new flavours!) Aww you're so lucky to have...

Off to the cinema tonight so will have to find some sort of snack for 10 syns to take with me. I love a good bit of cinema snacking though! *sigh*. Maybe I should just have 15 syns tonight and take a good 3 different snacks with me? Gah! I've never tried gluten free bread. What's it made with...

Hey donkey! Great to hear from you and know you're ok! Hey don't worry about last week, it happens I all of us! My week was also pretty poor so I'm expecting a gain tomorrow. What had you enjoyed taking for lunch? Make sure it's something you love and actually look forward to! Next week...

Moo that's incredible! How did you do that?! *dances around the staff room to celebrate for moo*

I'm pleased the scales are smiling for you moo. I am certain that you'll reach your 100lb goal very soon. Your story is just amazing. You keep us all going! 6 weeks today until the wedding! I'm actually feeling really stressed and I'm in pain too with my bad hip. Can you believe I've having a...

*hugs moo*. You're doing great

Keep at it, the great thing about SW is that it's a way of life and in life there are several treat days and that's ok! :)

How are you Donkey? Hope your week has started off well xx

Welcome back hez! :D

Ovulation can indeed cause weight gain by water retention. Ahhh the menstrual cycle really loves to screw up our losses doesn't it?!

I'm ok thanks donkey, just super tired. Feeling a bit overwhelmed now because there's so much to do with work, wedding, job applications, masters degree etc. I'm just devastated because my hip has played up again and I'm on crutches again. I really thought it was gonna hold out until my...

Great news on the volunteering! :D

Yaaaaayyyy well done donkey! You're unstoppable now :D

I'm currently on a 4pm-1am shift and often do nights and stuff (A&e doctor). I tend to take a soup in with me if I'm doing a night/late but I make 2 big batches at the beginning of the week and then alternate them at work. I take plenty of fruit with me and drink water throughout the shift -...

Excellent work donkey! Keep me updated on your slow cooker use as I could do with some inspiration - I've never used mine! What are you up to this weekend?

Hey moo how are you doing? Hope you had a good day yesterday? Reading your diary cheers me up every day! I made the borscht you told me about and it is absolutely delicious! I've never tasted anything like it! Thank you so much. I'm eating it as I write this on my night shift and even though...

Hey there donkey! I'm glad work is going well so far and you're doing really well with planning your food while working. I'm currently eating a slimming world borscht soup at 6:45am. Nights are ridiculous because I sleep 9:30-5:30 then wake up and have a dinner at dinner time then take soup to...

Well done to all you ladies on here who have been nominated/have own miss slinky. I kind wish I went to group so I'd be able to get involved in things like this. But honestly, great news for you all!

Moo that's fantastic news! I'm so happy for you and your husband!

Yeah just let them know your plans and go from there! I don't know what dolmas is either but it sounds so yummy! It's weird how I can think something is tasty without even knowing what it is!

Sounds like you've been a very busy lady! Are you enjoying your new job though? I think it's really positive that you're focusing on getting into a routine and looking for ways to stay on plan. Missing WI isn't the end of the world because you're working your hardest at the moment on it anyway...

Hey there donkey. Are you alright?

Moo you can definitely see the difference and you look amazing! :D

Your cling film belt made me laugh moo!

You'd make a beautiful model Moo! Go for it! :)

Packed lunches will be your best friend for work! Have you got the slimming world little book of lunches? There's some good inspiration there. Ahh TOTM is so inconvenient sometimes but it means you'll have a brilliant compensatory loss next week. It's ok Donkey, ignore the numbers and think of...

You're doing wonderfully lovely moo! Xx

You can do it moo, you're superwoman xx

Yaaaay good work on dropping a size! It's really nice to go shopping and feel you look good isn't it? Well I went to the lakes over the weekend and had 2 days off plan so I wonder whether my losses would've been better this week but definitely not going to complain! Just saw Ed Sheeran and he...

Hey there Donkey how are you doing today? Did your dad's operation go ok?

Well done bev! Have a wonderful time in Norway, you've earned it! Xx

Excellent news, super pleased for you! :D Very intrigued by the dragon fruit...

How are you feeling today dear Moo? Xx

Donkey, you did it!! Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy! That pound is gone gone gone and many more are gonna follow suit :D

Ooo all the best for weigh in! Regardless of the number, you're great at this and you'll succeed :) Wow you're a lady in demand re employment! Woohoo! :D

Sending you lots of get well wishes moo!

Excellent news re the new wardrobe and lower dress size! So hold on, you got the job? How did I miss that?! I'm ok, just a but stressed out with 7 days of 1:30-1:30, this masters, wedding drama and the fact that I only lost two thirds of a pound today. I'm hoping it's just because of TOTM and...

Mmmm cake. What kind of cake is it? I'm suddenly craving it quite a lot! In eating some roasted vegetable soup instead. Really please you had a good night's sleep! Sounded like it's been a while! All I want to wear is onesies! Where is this one from? Your time is coming to drop those dress...

You're on this donkey. Just try not to be too harsh on yourself. Bear in mind you were prevented from eating the way you've come to know and love for about a month. It can be difficult to get back into "the zone" but it'll come. You're doing great and a phase of difficulty is normal. It's only a...

Moo you've done so brilliantly! Well done! Feeling really pleased for you. You look great in your photo too! Haha I did spinning yesterday and I remembered how hard I found it the first time. Well done for taking that plunge and doing it. You're right - it'll only get easier! Oh I have no...

Sometimes it just happens donkey. It's only one day. Enjoy the meal with your friends. You're so good at this that you'll be right back on it when you need to be! 1 day is nothing in this journey xx

Bev you're amazing xx

Oh my gosh well done! That is fan-bloody-tastic! Yaaaaayyyy!

We love you moo!

Wedding is 2nd January

Having a hen spa day on 8th November and then hen weekend in Copenhagen on 5-7th December. It will be so cold but I like real winter and snow! :)

PS I wanted to go to Tallinn for my hen do but we can't afford the flights. I'm so disappointed :(

I like that you're free and happy moo :)

Excellent news about the interview. Woohoo! What are you thinking of wearing? Interesting what you say about the fizzy drinks. I want to turn to a 7up free right now before I go out for drinks and a meal with work friends. I'll just have diet drinks and then the meal part will be edemame to...

You'll get it off donkey. A couple of weeks and it'll be history!

Hey mc, sorry you're not having a wonderful time but I hope you're feeling better soon. You've done so well so far - 1 week where things didn't go great is tiny in the large scheme of your really successful journey so far. From a medical point of view and from personal experience, the mirena...

Can't believe I was scared of cottage cheese until a few weeks ago. I love it now! It does look pretty gross though doesn't it? Gosh I struggled and had a little snooze, but the handouts were brilliant so I didn't miss anything! Don't you always have chocolate in the house to stop you feeling...

Ps good luck with the job stuff. Great news about going through to the next stage!

How's your day back on it going? Ahh man, the atmospheric pressure affects your symptoms? That's so annoying - wish you could have more control over it. The weather being responsible is just unfair! Yeah shift work doesn't help me stay on plan but I figured my life is shift work so I've got...

Hey 5.5lbs is definitely not bad for all that time off enforced non-plan stuff. Really pleased you're so positive about where you'll go from here. You're wonderful Donkey :). Haha I can't believe I finally got to below 30! Today I feel a bit chunky though - chucked on a massive tshirt over my...

Oh no! Feel better soon donkey :(

I find it so funny when cats try to whack people. They're so helpless! I reckon they'd be pretty dangerous if they had thumbs - like in the old cravendale milk advert. We feed her both wet and dry. She's very fussy so always needs options otherwise she doesn't eat at all! Need to weigh in now...

Which part of Estonia are you from?

:). I want to go to Estonia!

Yummy... USB cables...Hair bands? That's a new one. Pip has no interest in them or anything that could be seen as endearing. OMG donkey she's done it again! She can't be going senile, she's only 1. We use the same litter we always use and her litter box has always been in the same place. Any...

Estonia are playing England at football right now. Are you watching?!

Oh wow that looks phenomenal! You're so creative!

Oh my gosh the brownies look so yummy! I want to make some tonight!

PS I have some friends in Norfolk at UEA and they absolutely love it! It's nice to be in the countryside :)

Aww she's so beautiful! My cat is called pippington (pip for short). She's half british shorthair, half persian and she's so so naughty! She's started doing poos outside her litter tray for some reason so I'm just browsing for a new litter box as she's had hers for about a year. The...

Ohhhh I'm such a silly! Where are you doing your pgce? That meal was absolutely gorgeous. Nepalese food is like nothing I've ever tasted before. The manager lied though and said things weren't fried. They clearly had a lot of oil in them though! I also had two pieces of bread. I don't regret it...

Where are you moving to donkey?! How's your weekend started off?

Moo I'm so so pleased for you! Yaaaaaayyyy! I'm at working this weekend and that's the best news I've heard! Thank you so much for the seljanka recipe and the website. I really want to make a fish one! I will try when I have time off work :D

Soup with cottage cheese?! That sounds crazy moo. Do you just put the cheese in the soup? Does it melt? Oh yeah I love his classes. I go to his spinning class too. I can't really afford the £100 a month but it's worth it if I get to feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day! Moo I'm...

Yeah he's charging me £25 for 1 hour! Your soup looks so yummy. I had carrot and ginger soup. I think I'll try tomato next week after I finish whitening my teeth. You're gonna get your award moo, I can feel it!

I really hope it's £15 a week because that would be great! Mine is £25/week :(

I'm spinning tonight too moo! It's a brilliant workout. Don't worry if it's difficult or you can't stand, you get better at it really quickly. Remember to just go at your own pace and enjoy it! I know I'll enjoy my class tonight!

MC you look fantastic! Well done, you're doing great :)

Of course it doesn't make you a bad friend! Well done moo :)

Hey moo, don't be disheartened. You're doing wonderfully. I felt a bit sad a few weeks ago when I gained weight after a week of more intense exercise than usual. I'll explain why this occurs: when you exercise a lot your muscle fibres tear a bit and in order for them to repair they need to hold...

Oh my gosh you have AIW syndrome? That's so so rare! Does it feel awful when it happens? Sorry I shouldn't find this so interesting especially since it's probably unpleasant for you :( I can't wait to have a BMI less than 30 as I haven't had one since I was about 16 years old. 1.1kg to go! I...

I'd highly recommend the slimming world little book of soups. It's brilliant! Great thing about soup though is that you can modify it as much as you like to get a good flavour and texture. Sometimes you just need a bit of written down inspiration!

Moo you're just amazing. Look at what you've achieved, it's phenomenal!

Oh it passes with time moo! Next week it'll be less painful. I've been doing it for years and my legs hurt every time I use heavier weights, but most of the time it feels good!

It's weird because I'm born and bred British but I just can't come to terms with the imperial measurements - they don't make sense to me Moo! And metric is definitely more accurate! I'm doing body pump tomorrow morning. I'll be thinking of you, my new body pump buddy!

Amazing news! Congratulations!

Have a great day all. It's so miserable and wet here in Liverpool. Hope it's nice where you guys are! OMG blondcat I can't wait for my BMI to be less than 30. It hasn't been in the twenties since I was about 16! 1.1kg to go!

Welcome!

It's true - everyone is too busy being tired and out of breath to look at and judge other people. At the end of the day, we all go to the gym for a common goal! I found the most important thing was To wear something you're comfortable in and then just enjoy yourself and think how much good...

Ahh that's great Moo. Exercise makes you feel so good doesn't it? I really want to try kettle bell classes. My favourite are body combat and body pump. I'm going to the gym now to do Spinning. Have you tried it? It's so hard but it really burns the calories and you feel great afterwards! I find...

Oh my gosh moo that all looks so good! Thanks for sharing!

If you need a petition of some sort signing I'll sign! Lol. I'm just honestly shocked and appalled. Well done you for standing up for yourself though. Yeah all diuretics are primarily for high blood pressure but low doses are good for water retention that is not due to hypertension or heart...

Hey there mc. Sorry to hear you've been feeling down. I think you're doing great on SW and you're really inspirational. Just to let you know, I have the same problem with my feet and it's awful in the summer. I get so embarrassed! I used to be on diuretics. The one I had was called furosemide...

The gym tights look great on you moo!

Fingers crossed it works the way NICE wants it to work! Lol yeah neurologists are amazing. I wish I were that clever! I'm on a&e, just finished my 4th late shift in a row (4pm-1) then I have 3 night shifts to look forward to over the weekend. Bleurghh. Oh you know the exam I took the day after...

Wiggle is .co.uk rather than .com. Sorry about that!

It's awful that you've been treated like that. You're a wonderfully strong woman moo. It will work out for you and your hubby eventually. *hugs*. Sportsdirect do pretty good sportswear that isn't too expensive. You can also try wiggle.com. Hope the rest of your day goes ok xx

That looks so yummy!

How did the Botox go? Will you see a difference straight away? Unfortunately I'm not brilliant at neurology but it seems neurologists do all the coolest stuff! I'm sitting in hospital in our crappy staff room having my break. Can you believe I haven't had one since I started at 4?! Eating some...

Oh no you're going back home?! Not ideal. It's only for a few days though so you can do it :). After this stint is that it for a while? Oh yeah nights are difficult to stay on plan because I don't feel like eating at 3am. It's too late! I tend to eat very little and that causes a gain because of...

So so happy for you. Well done! Xx

Not too bad thanks donkey but I'm expecting a gain or STS this week as I have been exercising and been on nights so haven't eaten properly. I got a bit upset when I tried on a sports jacket I bought which still doesn't fit me. When I tried it on yesterday it felt tighter than it was when I first...

It's ok moo, we all have days like that from time to time. Maybe your body just wants something a bit different. You've been doing so well the rest of the week. The thing about you is when you go off plan a bit you're excellent at drawing a line under it and getting back on track the next day...

Yay you're back! Sorry to hear you had a migraine, have you recovered from it now? It's so weird how the SW way becomes a lifestyle you actually miss. There's nothing like lots of fresh health goodies to keep you feeling good!

You're doing great Stevie. It's brilliant that you're still so motivated and positive. The weight will come off!

Welcome back donkey. I hope your few days away from your mum will be really pleasant and relaxing. You deserve some happy you time! Xx

Oh my gosh moo that bake is making me salivate! lt looks fantastic!

What kind of help can the GP give? They'll give you a prescription to take to your local council gym and you get a 3 month gym membership free of charge. It includes an induction session where you're shown how to use all the equipment and you're given a personal plan to help you improve fitness...

What's a schokobon? That pasta looks beaut!

Moo have you been to your GP? I often give people exercise prescriptions if they're overweight or obese and that way they don't have to pay! I'd highly recommend it. I'm a doctor and I give them out all the time but my GP has given me one too so I can swim to help me lose weight!

Great news on you beating that bus moo! That's a massive achievement :D

You're not self-centred at all. I teared up a bit reading this because you're dealing with so much yet still being incredibly strong and it's all so unfair and mean. You're just pretty amazing :)

Aww hez, your poor cat! Bless his little paws! Hez do you run a restaurant? Moo it's great that you're so positive about what the scales have been saying to you and you're keeping wonderfully on track with your meals! You'll easily get rid of that kilo :)

So I made the halloumi saag you suggested and almost died at how tasty it was. Definitely gonna be trying a lot of your other recipes now. Thank you for making my tummy oh so happy!

Oh my gosh Tilly the puss is adorable! <3

Hope your daughter is ok. Asthma can be so difficult to get control of sometimes!

Stir fry looks yummy! Have a wonderful day moo :)

No need to apologise donkey, that's what we're here for! This definitely isn't ideal but the ideas the others have had on here about taking food up to your room etc might work quite well. You're not a failure, you've done phenomenally well and you still are! Just keep reading back through all...

Have a brilliant time blondcat! Oooo I'm so jealous!

Congratulations donkey! Yaaaaaayyy! :D

Ahh thanks for that miss_taken, I feel a lot less upset about it now!

I gained a pound. I stayed 100% to plan and exercised 3 times last week. My personal trainer says it's due to muscle damage causing water retention. I hope he's right because I'm pretty gutted!

Oh no donkey, that doesn't sound very nice at all. You've achieved so much despite it been a trying 2 months for you. Keep hold of that even though the people around you are making it difficult. Even if you can't be on plan when you're at home with your parents, that doesn't matter. It's about...

Missed hearing from you donkey! I hope your time with family becomes more enjoyable. Maybe you could make then a SW meal one night? It'd be a treat for them and you could stay on plan. Do they understand how important it is for you? I bet they were so proud when they saw how much weight you've...

You can make soup in a slow cooker?! How handy!

Dancemum you're amazing!

Moo I tried cottage cheese for the first time today (I'd previously been terrified of it) and it's delicious! Thanks for inspiring me!

The spinach omelette was an epic fail - I didn't have any eggs in the house! I'd planned an original day but had to scramble around quickly for food before work so ended up having a baked potato and didn't weigh it therefore my day was automatically an extra easy day! *sigh* I'm not the biggest...

Ooo yes, I'm intrigued by dukan too. What does it entail? Excellent name though. It's sounds exotic

Are you feeling ill? Is that why you have a low appetite? BN biscuit soup? Now that would be bizarre! Just had a personal training session and cba to make any breakfast/lunch before my late shift. I'm thinking of a spinach omelette because it's full of good stuff but how do you actually do...

I'm so sad about the doggies! :'( I just don't understand how anyone could do that. I think I'll need to try success express soon because after a great initial 7 weeks, I think my weight loss is slowing down! Mmmmm I love a BN squash soup. I think I'm gonna make a huge batch for my night...

Aww they sound like pretty mean landlords. I really hope they change their attitude soon because you don't deserve them messing you about like this! Well done for not letting it break you though and for even trying to cheer up your husband when he was stressed. And on top of that you're staying...

Hey there everybody. Hope you're all well. Wishing you a wonderful day! Xx

Lol how did you get through your life so far without building flat pack furniture?! You are now officially a real grown up! Hehehehe I didn't have the champagne in the end. It's just too synful and I didn't actually have anything to celebrate! Mmm I love shashlik, excellent choice! Just got...

What's success express?

OMG this sounds unbelievably good! :o

Woohoo! And there you were wondering how reduced superfree would affect your losses. Really pleased for you! :D. Just finished my exam, it was farcical I say the least. But ahh well it's over now and I think I'll use my 10 syns to have some champagne tonight!

These chocolate wheats sound really good. I'm gonna go and look for them in sainsburys! The right job is just waiting for you moo and you'll get it very soon when the time is right :)

Great to hear from you and fantastic that you've had such a wonderful time. Look forward to daily diary chat. Continue enjoying yourself! :D

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! Well done donkey. Woohoo! :D Great news about the body changes you've noticed too. I should be revising but I'm currently eating a SW free butternut squash and bacon risotto. :)

I've always wondered what the hell a potato ricer is for! I've never made hash browns/rostis, so this is a very useful tip. Thank you! PS you had to shape the sausages? I thought they just came like that!

I'm definitely trying this when I'm off crazy shifts because every time I finished a set of nights I'd go to McDonalds on the way home to get a celebratory breakfast. I do love SW but sometimes I just miss being able to go and pick up a tasty meal rather than having to make it myself, which can...
