Didn't weigh last week I met my interim target a fortnight ago so had a week off but back on it now and weighed tonight and had lost 1.5lb - surprised me as didn't think I'd lost anything

1lb off for me

I always used to hate exercise but I've found a class I enjoy (and for some unknown reason it's fairly hardcore but it's been the only one I've ever gone back for a second class never mind nearly 3 months of it)

Well done girls I lost 1lb - so under the 10stone mark (though it was wobbling between 10st 0 and 9st 13.5 so it must have been only just!

He gets them from Wiggle - you can get sports and science or high5 ones from Halfords etc. The hydration tablets - hopefully keeping your salts in balance will stop you getting to that point

As long it's consistant it shouldn't matter. Sometimes I'll eat before class sometimes afterwards and it doesn't seem to affect my weight loss

What are you drinking? I use the powerbar zero calorie sports drinks when I do circuits as it keeps my blood sugar up (hubby put me onto them as he uses them with cycling) - TBH I've just assumed they were no syn as it says zero calorie but am burning it off at the same time.

Well done all Week 2 - 1.5off - think I'm about on target as I get 5 weigh ins this month

It may be worth you measuring too I started exercising a few weeks into starting SW, while I don't get a big loss I've been steadily loosing each week (14 weeks and no gains - it's bound to happen next week now I've said that) - the very first week I stayed the same, after that it's been a...

well done all I lost 1.5lb today, just 0.5 to go to go down to the next stone bracket - fingers crossed

Good luck all - and it seems I'm the first to kick this month off 1lb down to start

1lb off and my 1.5stone Mis Taken 6stone is fantastic

Also want to hit 7lb (after failing miserably last month)

When I joined I was told to set an interim target - which I did, just over 1.5stone when in total I wanted to loose 2 and a bit. I'm now getting close to that mark (1lb to go to get to 1.5stone) and what happens then - I know when you reach target you get free weeks so could I stick at the...

I'm vegetarian and do extra easy and that seems to be working for me (I also have coeliacs and they do say EE is better for coeliacs)

That's not quite what it says - it says think about your journey so far, what normally happens on holidays and events and how confident you are about slimming The ignore it says only do it if you can hope with gaining up to 10lbs and going straight back on plan, if that will knock your...

I've been hovering in the middle, only loosing 0.5lb a week, but made a bigger jump this week - 2.5lb

The other thing is a lot of people find that weight that goes on fast also comes off fast (not as fast as it went on admittedly) - one of the ladies in our group went on holiday and came back 9lb heavier - in 2 weeks she lost 8.5lb of it

2.5off this week (only 4 for the month though :( )

Well done every one Lost 2.5lb, got 1 more to go for my 1.5stone so fingers crossed for next week

was away last week so didn't weigh Weighed today and lost 1lb

Well done girls Didn't weigh last week as went glamping Monday to Friday - and didn't eat wonderfully either side if I'm honest as knew I wasn't going to weigh. Lost 1lb so pleased with that as target was to stay the same - just have to get back into it now

Lost 0.5 today

Like taking in slices of the curry loaf to work

Another one here, tbh I've found the EE fairly easy - though tempted to stick in the odd green day to mix it up - but not really sure on exacty what to do on green

I felt no different at half a stone, maybe slightly at 1 stone it's only been in about the last 2 weeks (0.5lb this week and 3lb last week) that I've felt thinner - it was as if a of a sudden it felt different

Think I need a slap, weighed today and lost half a pound - so why aren't I happy? I didn't think I'd lost anything this week (from weighing at home) but several people today had commented that I looked like I'd lost loads and my clothes felt much looser so I guess I hoped for a different reading

That's fab - well done

Joining is £10 and each week is just under £5

Slightly ahead of you at 7 weeks in, I ended up buying 6 weeks worth last week to ensure I wouldn't back out I've had ups and downs but am doing ok and it's definitely the longest I've stuck at anything

That's fab - and now you know that if you do fall off the wagon again then pick yourself up and start again, it's not as scary as you think

I know you've just done the spreadsheet so hope it's not too late to join - want to loose 7lb in August

Apparently when you start doing exercise you can retain water as your muscles heal themselves - but then the week after you'll see the drop - fingers crossed that holds true for you

Hope it goes well for you - I've had weeks where I didn't feel I'd lost anything where I'd done well - and the one week where I felt like I must have lost as my trousers felt looser was the week I stayed the same

It may seem hard but you need to try and forget about what you did and get back on plan - yes you've had several bad days but you can do damage limitation. In the future when you have a night like you did on Friday you need to go straight back on plan - and NOT skip breakfast

While I see where you are coming from Sarah when I was starting to recover from my eating disorder (which while it may sound odd but wasn't anything to do with my weight) I knew I couldn't diet or restrict myself as that would have put me back into that control cycle - it was probably 5 years...

Going gluten free is a complete pain to start off with, and the subsitutes aren't as nice as the gluten free ones but you do get used to it. I haven't found combining it with slimming world creates much problems (but I'd been GF for 4 years before doing SW)

The dietary special ones you can - the glutafin ones I don't think you can (have you been diagnosed with coeliacs? if so you can get glutafin ones on prescription - or juvela) Glutafin (and juvela) do do free sample boxes too for you to try - I'm too new to post a link - which have loads of...

Surely the whole idea of slimming world and giving you those syns is so that you can occasionally have a slice of cake/chocolate/crsips - whichever your particular vice is (I hope it tasted lovely)

The other thing to think about is how much percentage you may have lost compared to them, if they were much bigger than you to start with then they may well drop a bigger number - ie you both drop 1% of your body weight, someone who is 20 stone will have lost a lot more than someone who is 10stone

I can't tolerate the scotts porridge oats

There is one, but I didn't like the taste so I've forgotten it, just looked it up the glutafin 29g slices you can have 2 Can also have 2 of the dietary special slices out of the loaf

Please be careful if you have coeliacs and are eating oats - a lot of people with coeliacs will also react to oats as the proteins are very similar

Dietary Special Ciabatta Rolls tend to be my stock bread (or 1 slice of Genius bread) Apparently if you can't eat gluten you can use 35g of any gluten free cereal (I don't because they all taste rubbish IMHO) 4 plain rice cakes I tend to have pistachio nuts if I don't have the bread (28) The...

I find it's easier to loose weight when it's hot - think I must sweat most of it off, it's all the stodgy winter comfort foods which are my downfall

Well done girls Got another 2lb which took me to club 10 - and then got slimmer of the week as a bonus Got a horrible feeling it's going to come to a crushing end before long though

I can't have many ready meals - I also have coeliacs and most ready meals contain gluten (as do most cereal bars - when I tried looking them up online they all seemed high syns) I have to be more organised I think

Half a stone in your first week is fab - and with your family also doing it hopefully you can keep each other on the straight and narrow

Working completely random shifts is probably what helped me to put on weight in the first place, but anyone else in the same situation and how do you cope with night shifts? - I'm pretty good during the day but not if working in the night (and having big multi bags of crisps available doesn't...

Hi, new to the site and to this group but thought I'd nip in and say hello, weighed on Monday (6th one) and had lost 3lb and got my 1stone so feeling quite chuffed with myself

Started trying to loose weight 6 weeks ago and thought the additional help from here may help so here I am saying hello I haven't done too bad - 1 stone down - but do have the added complications of working around coeliacs and random shift work (diets and night shifts don't seem to go) Look...

Are you new to the gluten free as well? I haven't found it that bad but having had coeliacs for 4 years now I was kind of on top of the GF diet anyway before starting on SW. Even though you can have certain GF bread as your HExB choice I do find I'm less bloated when I don't bother with it -...
