So just got back after my three days holiday off plan and feel great. According to the scales I've not put anything on (not even sure how the heck that's happened considering what I ate.... -guilty face-) so pretty pleased with that. Few NSVs along the way, too! Got myself into a few primark...

Well, I'm still here! Still going! Had my weigh in yesterday and just o.5lbs short of my three stone award now! 41.5lbs down... and I've managed to stay firmly on the wagon for the first time in my life diet-wise! Going a little slower than I'd like but hey, I can't complain at a stone a...

Wahoo, only gone and got my two stone! Another 3lb down today which I'm so glad for as ive felt bloated and ugh all week! 7 weeks in and a fifth of the way there. I'm so pleased with that! Onwards!... To Pandora!

Yay!! Had my weigh in on Thursday and another 6.5lbs down! I'm only 2.5 off my 2 stone award now, which I WILL have on wednesday (I hope.) SO pleased with that, 26lbs down in just 6 weeks and now 18% of the way there (this app is great.) :D

I've got that one too! Officially I'm 13% there after five weeks so I'm quite pleased with that :)

Tiny victory today - I saw 18 on the scales for the first time in about 5 years! It's not there now cause I've got clothes on -giggle- but it was there! Little thing - big motivation. I want to see 17 in the next six weeks when I go on my holidays knowing I've already got nearly a third of the...

Teehee, nope! I can't make my mind up - it's stupid! Anyhoo. I stayed the same this week, which I'm happy with considering my weigh-in was two days early and two days after my birthday meal. Not weighing in again until next Thursday or Friday now, so fingers crossed for a big one. Down into the...

Wahoo! -5lbs this week! After my 1 last week I will take 5 quite happily thank you very much. I'm now 19st2 and I'm hoping hoping hoping I'll see my old friend 18 pop up on the scales over the next week! Chuffed to bits with that. I have funky weigh ins for my next two as my consultant's going...

I find my weekends the worst, but I think if you just go into it with the mindset that you need to stick to the times you'd eat on a workday, it'll be fine. Oh, and remember the water - at work it's natural for me to fill up my 500ml beaker and my 1.5l bottle and that's my morning sorted. At...

One whole pound! But that doesn't matter because I have my star and I can look to order my first charm! I think it'll be the cow one first, bunny next. I really want them to do an official guinea pig one but hey, maybe one day. To week 4! :D

The first few days are definitely the worst but three weeks in I can tell you it definitely all goes away apart from a few hungry days! Has it got any better? :) The clothes thing for me is definitely the bit that I hate the most about my current size - New Look Inspire (which to be fair...

I'm expecting pretty much the same tomorrow for my third! :( My consultant said week three can be quite sticky, but it should kick back in again for week 4! Here's a-hopin!

Weigh in #3 tomorrow - where the heck as the last three weeks gone?! I don't think I've lost much at all this week, but if I can get my pound, and therefore my first stone, that'll do me just fine! Had a lot of hungry days recently, but I'm feeling good! Swapped a couple of my shakes out for...

I'm thinking some pandora charms! My bracelet looks rather sad at the moment but with around 10st to lose I think it'd end up looking lovely and be a reminder of how far I've come when it's filling up! This one first I think! I <3 cows. It's either that or I adopt some more guinea pigs...

I'm still here! Had a few REALLY tired days where all I've managed to do when getting home is fall asleep! :/ Had my second weigh in on Wednesday and lost another 5lbs! One pound off my stone which was a bit of a bummer but that's okay - I'll have it next week after just three weeks! We also...

Everyone's taste is different! I've seen quite a few people in various groups raving about it but it just wasn't for me at all. You might love it! We certainly can do this! :D

So I'm now reading in the 19s on my scales (in clothes)! Sounds like such a small thing as according to my WI last week I'm already there but to see it there on my scales (which I think put me 3-4lbs heavier than my CWPC's!) is such a motivational push in the right direction - cause I know I'm...

Bad day today. Stuck to plan 99% (I ate one cocktail sausage...not going to beat myself up about that considering I'd normally scoff loads) but felt like all I wanted today was food. Found it very difficult to come home to a milkshake when my dad was eating a curry and ended up taking myself off...

Thank you! :D Still feeling a little hungry today but I think it's starting to go away again now. Still can't quite believe I'm into week 2 already, I'm feeling pretty good about this! Treated myself to a few different Palmers moisturisers to aid me on my journey and I keep looking through my...

1.5 stone in three weeks is fab! Well done you! Definitely won't be long till you'll be getting your sunglasses at this rate!

First weigh in completed and I couldn't be more thrilled. 8lb down in my first week and I'm already out of the 20s and into the 19s! Been told to aim for 3-4lbs a week from now on but may well do more. If so, I'm only looking at 3 weeks for the first full stone to disappear! Motivation levels...

I can't believe I'm about to place my first order for my next set of products already! Day 5 now and it's flown by with none of the side effects I was dreading or anything! Had a rotten day today though, one of my guinea pigs (love em, I've got 31!) passed away just after I got home from work...

Wiggly, I think the best thing about the tetras for me is that even if I don't like them (they're okay but as I said they don't taste the same as the packet ones and the texture isn't quite right either, bit...gritty?) is that they're soooo small you can just neck them and forget about it. I do...

Hello! Just finished Day 2 - we can be Minimins CWP buddies! I found that last night I was out like a light really early, completely wiped out. But today hasn't been so bad at all. Feeling a bit hungry but I'm on 4 packs not 3 so I think that might have helped. How was the tikka? That's in my...

Well done! I'm two weeks behind you (Day 2 just about DONE!) and definitely looking forwards to getting where you are cause that'll mean bars! How did you find your first few days? I was flat out at 10pm last night and slept the whole night through (which for me is unheard 0f - I'm a late to...

So these are the products I've had so far and my verdict on them! 1 - Butterscotch shake - smells lovely but was a bit disappointed by the taste and texture. It was, however, my first shake so I might have made it too watery and not blended enough, hence the texture! I've got two more of this...

Hello everyone! I'm back to MiniMins after a failed attempt at weight loss this time last year, on Slimming World. I'm back, and this time on Cambridge which I hope I will have much more success on... cause something has to change! Slimming World worked for me and it didn't at the same time...

WI today - stayed exactly the same. Pretty pleased actually considering I weighed myself a few days ago and I weighed 4lbs more(!). One takeaway shouldn't have done that to me if it'd lasted till WI this morning. I think my issue is actually that I'm not eating enough! I'm finding it really hard...

I caved and I feel so guilty. Had a takeaway on Monday with my sister and it definitely wasn't a good idea... :( I can't handle that sort of food anymore. Don't get me wrong I loved it and my brain tells me I could eat a bucket load of the stuff but my body is telling me "Please not again". If...

1.5kilos off today! Got my 3kg award today too, I'm down from 126kg to 122.4 in two weeks! 120 next week please! :D

Hello! And thank you! I'd LOVE to ride competitively! I never got that far when I was learning, mainly because I was a teenager in with a load of little kids so I got as far as cantering and low jumps but nothing more adventurous than that! Now I'm older with a job when I do get to the weight...

I'm on the Extra Easy too, I hope you find it as good as I am - I'm still really new to the idea but 6lbs down and I'm feeling like this is something I can stick to and not feel like I'm missing out on things all that much!

Would I be okay to join in with this? I think it's a great way to get some motivation - group effort!

I didn't cave! I went in fully intending to be naughty and get a baguette or something but nope. My conscience got the better of me and out I came with the chicken and bacon salad! Nowhere near as good for me as the totally free one I left in the car this morning but certainly far better for me...

Whatever works best for you! I measure in ft/in for my height, but lbs/stone has never really worked for me! I find the metric system far easier for me to set targets and work down in the straight 10's (100g, kg, etc), but I do still translate that into st/lbs too. :)

5ft 5, 19st 5, size 20-22. No fun, aiming for the 12/14 range ideally! :)

I hope that went well for you, lostinnarnia! My mini-mini goal is to lose another 3-4kg and dip below 120kg! After that it's going to be a push to my 10% loss milestone, I'm hoping to be there before my birthday (17th June) so fingers crossed I can keep going and get there. :)

Oooh thanks, I'll see if mine has any of those. They're generally not too good on the salad/pasta stock though so hopefully if I go a bit early I can see if they have some today! :)

Hi and welcome! I'm right here with you, too! We can do this!

Well done with the progress so far! I hope you find the community as welcoming as I have! :D

Hello! I'm just a week ahead of you and already I'm feeling so motivated and pleased with my little progress so far. I hope SW works out, for both of us! :)

Hello! :) I'm very new to SW too, I'm doing it online rather than going to a group meeting - I'm too wimpy to go to a group just yet. I'm finding lots of ideas on google and checking out blogs of people doing SW. There's lots of syn-free or low-syn versions of many favourite meals, so I'm sure...

Thank you! :D Had a great weekend, got lots more healthy food in and I attempted a syn free (but using my A allowance) carbonara which turned out great - I could live off the stuff! Slight blip today, made a salad for my lunch but promptly left it in the car after being dropped off to catch my...

First weekly weigh in today and I've lost 2.1kg/4 1/2lbs! I'm delighted :D

My first weigh in today and YAY. I've lost 2.1kg! It's going to be more than that because not long before I started up with this again I weighed in at 128 so I've lost about 4kg in a couple of weeks. I'm delighted. I really want to get under 120 in the next couple of weeks, that'll be a weight I...

Thanks for the welcome ladies! My handy little books from SW came today so I am far better equipped to pick out the best things for me to eat (or not eat!). I'm feeling pretty positive about this! The biggest issue is going to be getting everything synced so it's not a free for all in the...

I LOVE guinea pigs! So much so that I am currently devoted mum to 28 of them! I've had them all my life and since graduating and getting a job my number's just exploded as I've been able to afford to buy the housing for them (piggy shed!). Addictive little critters. I'll have them for the rest...

Rolled up ham with free cottage cheese in the middle. Yum yum yum! Quick, easy and ridiculously satisfying.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and came across this forum while looking through and I feel like this may be the place for me - I hope you'll have me! I've been 'big' my whole life (size 16 at about 14, currently a 22 at 24) and I have no one but myself to blame for this. I feel like I've missed out...
