I have got loads to lose too - in 200lbs (14st 5) want to get down to 140lbs (10st) - I'm 5'5", so I'm not even tall heh. I'm trying to be logical and think "well, I am eating a lot less than previously, and I wasn't ballooning every day, so I must lose weight eventually...." but it is annoying...

Right, I've been slacking on this...so you're gonna get Sat, Sun, Monday, and Tuesday all in one (I've been tracking on paper/my phone :p) Sat Breakfast 2 x hifi bars (hexb) Lunch (went out of lunch...i had to splurge on the seafood chowder, we were right on the coast XD) Seafood chowder (7...

Thanks hun. Just feeling a bit meh coz I've seen the other "new starts" losing half a stone in one go :eek: but trying to remember that it is a long journey and it didn't all go on overnight Gonna try and go heavier on syns this week (as a test - I do like doing experiments) and I ate a lot...

Hmmm bit disappointed - first weigh in this morning only lost 2lbs. And I've been very strict with myself on control and writing everything down :/ does anyone think this could perhaps be a case of my body hanging onto the weight and it will drop it suddenly? I feel thinner - my clothes fit...

That makes sense - go for what makes you comfortable. I once weighed 9 stone (years ago) and that was too light for me. But at 10st I was a size 8-10,felt good, looked good, so I think that's a good place for me again (might end up saying 11 is light enough - we shall see :) :))

For yesterday, since I totally forgot to put it in. Breakfast 2 x Wheatabix (6 syns) 250ml semi skim milk (hexa) Berries (speed) Coffee Lunch 2 slices brown bread (hexb) Home made hummus (chickpeas & lemon) (speed) Apple (speed) Tangerine (speed) Snack Muller Light (free) Dinner Chicken...

Ah thanks @Gemsta ! Yes, I'm trying to get into the habit of labelling so I know off the top of my head in the future what they are. :) Thanks for the tip.

Wednesday's Entry I promise I will syn more tomorrow...I kinda ended up not really eating all that much today. Not through choice, just busy at work + friends came over after work...and the butternut squash I wanted to cook had gone a bit off so I had to chuck 1/3rd of it >.<; Breakfast...

Ha! I am a bit scared of them, don't want to get told off when I hand in my food diary! Haha :D And @marybobs isn't daal amazing?! I need some time at home to make it...def making a batch this weekend!

Ooo that's an idea, I might syn on luxury coffee when I fancy it (I have a machine that froths milk for cappuccinos... Mmmm <3). I think I'm going to try and make some daal this week too, which does use oil (otherwise the aromatics of the spices don't release) and a portion has around 3syns...

Thanks @Gemsta ! I'm struggling to use my sins (I know that sounds stupid - but I actually am!) but I think I'm going to buy some of those snack bar things from the group. I don't have a huge sweet tooth for chocolates (baking is my weakness haha) and bread was always my go-to snack. I think...

Oh wow well done! I've got basically 5st I want to lose - it's so daunting. But it's so inspirational seeing people who have been successful with SW and have lost similar amounts to what I want to lose :)

Aha thank you :) I've been using sp to mean speed ;) I've only been to one meeting and am still trying to understand the system, so advice is always appreciated! Thanks! That S P day sounds like a good boost if my weightloss plateaus closer to my goal. :) :)

Another day, another food diary :) Breakfast -berries (sp) -35g oats made into porridge with water (hexb) -tsp sugar (1 syn) -black coffee Lunch -salad (sp) with cottage cheese (free) and ham (free) -small pot of home made "hummus" (blended chickpeas, lemon juice, and spices) (free)...

Tip for you as a student, if there is an Aldi near you, shop there! Super cheap fruit and veg that is really nice, and they do frozen salmon portions for not very much either (which are amazingly delicious, actually). They also do really nice German ham which is 17cal a slice so totally syn...

I'm done losing weight and dieting. I've been doing it for nearly 14 years, and now all I am is fat. So, I'm doing slimming world, and I'm changing the way I look at food. And I am NOT going to fail again. Okay, okay, so I'm two days into my lifestyle change, but I feel amazing. I started...

Oh definitely! I think you'll do great doing it alone, just wanted to let you know if it was just the weight thing, it's all secret! Good luck! :)

Hi there. Looks like you had a good first day :) I'm not trying to sell you on the meetings, but if it is only the weight you are worrying about, your weight is kept completely confidential between you and the consultant. No one else knows it :) I was so nervous about that at first too, but...

So I'm new to slimming world, but I love this forum already. To keep myself motivated, I'm going to post in here all the food I eat. Also, I hope you guys and girls can correct me if I miss out any syns or count anything I shouldn't! I'm doing the extra easy program with speed foods. Sunday...

Heaviest I've ever been (urgh) weighed in at 14st 7.5 on Saturday. Ultimate goal is 10st flat. I'm 5'5" but quite a broad build (hourglass and I carry most of my weight in my legs) so I think 10st will look good on me. Aiming for at least 3lbs lost this week (first week of slimming world)...
