I set myself a 40 mile challenge last week. Got to 32 miles and then have had two days where I've had stuff on, so still got to meet that 40 mile.

I've not had a period since my first week on SW, not sure if it's menopausal or just the various stresses I'm currently dealing with, however I feel like I need a good period to drain off some bloating and give me a good loss as I feel like I've come to a standstill lately.

I will do my best. I have stepped up my walking (no pun intended) and did 24,760 steps yesterday. That is over 11 miles according to my pedometer. I'm also drinking lots of water. I will shrug my shoulders and get on with it, you have to try, don't you?

Thank you. Good luck with your endeavours.

Hi guys, I gained a pound this week. I think it's partly water retention and hormones, as it's Star Week (or should be) and I'm feeling like I'm going to explode. I also think I need to cut down on the free and hike up the superfree, although I am filling my plate properly etc etc, I don't know...

Whenever I googled syn values it linked to this site, that's why I joined :)

I'm really pleased, I lost 7lbs this week and got my stone award, gobsmacked!

I'm losing weight because the GP referred me to the Practice Nurse, my blood sugar is high, not quite diabetic,my cholesterol is high, I've piled weight on over the past few years because of changes to my job, bad habits, mental illness and lack of interest in myself. I've enjoyed eating what...

I have had 2 dreams where I've been eating huge doorsteps of buttery toast piled high... Woken up craving it...

Did we ever get an answer on this one?

OH, I thought it meant eat 8 sausages and gain a pound in weight.....:wave_cry::eek: !!! I'm a bit gormless at times.

I've been dreaming about huge piles of buttery toast. Sigh! Must find a list of bread syn values or read my book a bit more...

Early days yet but looking at stories like yours inspires me. Xxx

Big breakfast beforehand, cereal bar(s) during and Diet pop for after. Good luck!

Thank you, I already feel better in myself x

Keep fighting! Remember on your worst day if you at least try hard, you can only do better.

Hi all, I lost 6lbs the first week and was super excited, so when my 2nd week I loss 2 lbs I had to fight really hard not to feel underwhelmed, particularly when I haven't cheated and have always been under 15 syns. That said, I'm upping my game, I've stated walking as often as possible and have...

I love the Brocolli & Cheese one, always have. I didn't know it was 1/2 a syn though! I'll still eat them, they're a lovely bit of stodge when you're fed up of vegetables and salad, although I usually pad them out with additional veg.

Thanks, folks x

So it is free then on EE because I am just about to own a pack and trough on it.....?

Guess what? I lost six pounds, I'm very pleased!!! Had a migraine on and off since Saturday so I'm really pleased. Thanks for all the support!

Thank you very much x

I've been filling in the sheets they gave us. Ive been very careful so I just hope I've lost something x

Yes I'm at a group and I get weighed there tomorrow night. I haven't dome SW for years and last time I did it I lost loads the first week. Think I'm just having a bit of a wobbly. Thanks for your encouragement.

Happy you lost. It is hard to feel confident at first (I'm guilty of that) but it does work, and I hope you carry on doing well.

Hi. It's my first week and I've resisted climbing on any scales up till today when I went on my mum's scales. They read exactly the same as they did a week ago, which is very disheartening. Particularly as I've followed the plans carefully. If it were different scales I could understand...

It's my first week of Slimming World, and it's my star week too... I'm dreading getting weighed because 1: I'm not sure if I've done it right. 2: I'm on star week and I've bloated and craving like mad. I've been drinking a lot of water with lemon in to 'cleanse' so *fingers crossed* that I keep...

Cool, thanks!

I'd give it a wide berth. Doesn't seem worth the syns when you can have Diet Coke free.

I love bread. I love toast. It's my 'go-to' snack. I know I can still have 2 small slices for a b-choice, but I wondered if there were any alternatives that were syn free or low-syn? Also, what do people use as a spread? Thanks.

I probably should read the red writing. I didn't know you have to have so many posts to earn an avatar. I guess it puts the trolls and spammers off.

Hi, my name is Susan. I'm 46 yrs old and have been overweight for most of my life. It's not really bothered me being larger, but lately I've had health issues and my GP referred me to a Health Trainer to look at getting healthier. Apparently all my health issues (cholesterol, pre-diabetes...
