Hi and welcome! I stumbled upon this site by accident too but found there's loads of info on here including diet plans I'd never heard of lol so decided to sign up and read up more about everything. Good luck :)

Hi and welcome! There's lots of SW info on here so sure you'll find lots of help - good luck for Thursday :)

Hi Courtney12 and welcome! I too have a problem with sugar and have the worst sweet tooth lol. I'm guessing you've tried using stevia? I find it a bit better than other sweeteners, although it will never taste as good as sugar! Good luck :)

Sorry to hear that Sully.

Good luck :)

Hi and welcome! Wow, sounds like a nasty accident, hope your recovery is going well. There's lots of SW info on here under slimming clubs so I'm sure you'll find tips to keep you on track - good luck :)

Hi and welcome. I don't know if you've had a chance to look around the site but there are forums for SW on here and you might find the information you need there? Good luck :)

Hi Rhiannon and welcome! My partner also likes larger ladies which is great, BUT, it meant there seemed no reason for me to diet! He likes huge portions and I found my portions getting bigger. However there came a point where I realised that for the sake of my health, that I needed to do...

Well done! I've got a Fitbit and have certainly found it's motivated me to do more steps :)

Hi Tigsy and welcome. Sorry, I can't answer your question but wondered if you would get a better response if you posted your question under the Slimming Clubs section - there is SW and WW there. Good luck :)

Hi Mistyrod and welcome. Good luck with your weight loss journey, I'm sure you'll find lots of tips and info on here to help with whichever plan you're going to follow :)

Not long before you restart SW and I'm sure once you get going you'll feel better and you'll have support in group. I'm going to try to be good this week but my boyfriend has a week off so anything could happen lol. Have a good week :)

Hope your collies didn't wear you out too much! Went to boyfriend's sister's for the day and she did a fab roast followed by a gorgeous meringue/chocolate/cream creation - oh dear! I had a small portion and resisted seconds lol o_O Enjoy your post weigh in muffin!

I'm not following a specific plan, just trying to eat healthier food, have smaller portions and do a bit of exercise. Did OK last year but wasn't well over Christmas/New Year then pulled a muscle in calf! Started again recently but finding it hard to get back into it lol :)

Hi and welcome! I'm new and restarting my weight loss (again lol) from this month! Good luck :)

Hi and welcome! Good luck for when you start back on SW. I wish I had room for a halogen oven as they're brilliant, but my kitchen is tiny lol :)

Hi and welcome! Good luck with your weight loss journey - I'm sure you'll find lots of help here whichever plan you're following :)

I lost weight last year but it came to a halt at Christmas when I wasn't well with a few things - just run of the mill things, but couldn't exercise and comfort ate a bit. Only started back earlier this month but can't quite get back into the swing of things. Now boyfriend has a week off and...

Well done - always nice when you do better than you thought and just shows that with a bit of effort a naughty food day doesn't have to ruin things :D

Hi Gwyneth, welcome and good luck. There are lots of SW threads on here and I'm sure you'll find some inspiration and motivation :)

Hi Muggle and welcome. I'm taking a similar approach to you - no specific diet, just healthier foods, smaller portions etc - I'm always surprised when I see what a 'normal' portion is on diet programmes as it seems small lol. I'm sure you'll find lots of info and support on here - good luck :)

Hi Skippy - welcome and good luck! Our family buy each other chocolates every Christmas but I often eat the ones I buy and have to buy more so you're not alone lol :)

I take it you fell off the (diet) wagon? If so, well we've all done it lol we're only human. I'm sure if it put a dent in your diet you can even it out over the coming weeks :)

Hi Babyfan, welcome! There's lots of info on here to help you on your weight loss journey - good luck:)

Hi JockySam - welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey :)

Hi Linda - welcome aboard! Hope you find lots of info on here to help you on your weight loss journey :)

As a child I was slim, energetic and always on the go. At 13 my parents divorced and my dad (who I've never got on with) wouldn't move out, home life was miserable. I spent all my pocket money and babysitting money on cakes and chocolate, because eating them gave me great pleasure and made me...

I bought a pair of (don't laugh) wellies and they were too tight!! 1.5 stone down and they fitted fine so yes, calves will slim down :)

Expecting fast results - think all us dieters are guilty of that one!! :D

You did really well to lose 6 stone 2 years ago so just do whatever you did back then! Your holiday is a way off so you have plenty of time and whatever you lose will make you feel better. Good luck :)

I always thought once a week (same day, same time, same clothes) seemed sensible but I did see something on TV recently which (as Dave W above stated) said the latest thinking was that you should weigh yourself every day and work out the average.

You've certainly had a rough time of it but you're on the right road now and it's great that you enjoy cooking because it means you know exactly what's in your food. Enjoy your weekend :)

How strange, hope it doesn't deter you as you've done well so far :)

Hi and welcome - sorry I'm not pregnant or doing SW lol, but just wanted to wish you good luck with your healthy eating :)

Oh how frustrating! I'm sure you'll do it next week - will keep everything crossed for you. Enjoy your dinner on Saturday and afternoon tea on Sunday :D

I've done WW in the past but it wasn't for me. I lost weight last year by eating healthier food, cutting portion sizes and walking. Came to a halt at Christmas when I had a vomiting bug followed by a cold, laryngitis and chest infection, then I tripped over the cat and pulled a muscle in my...

Wow, you look fantastic, and younger too, great job - well done :)

Looking around the site and saw your pics, wow you've done so well since you started and are a great ad for SW. Sure it won't be long before you reach your goal - good luck :)

Well done - great loss Sully :)

Bacardi and coke

Chicken - I eat so much I'm surprised I don't cluck lol

Wet 'n' windy

I think most people can identify with this problem - I often wonder why there isn't an industry standard for clothes. I have the added problem of being tall at 5' 11" so clothes proportions are all wrong for me, tops are too short and I can never find a dress where the waistline isn't up under...

I'm a newbie and was a bit confused at first by the number of old threads, but after reading a few posts I realised you'd gone offline for a while but were now back. I'm glad I found your site as I need to start back on a diet and there seems to be lots of info on here :D

Your post made me smile as I'd decided to restart my diet today but had a rubbish day and so it's going to be tomorrow now. I use Myfitnesspal to log food as seeing it in black & white does make me think more about what I'm eating. Good luck :)

I think weight loss can be a bit erratic so don't get down hearted. I don't know if not using your Syns is the reason, perhaps you could ask at your next weigh in? As craftermary said, they say 2lb a week is recommended so overall you're on track. I'm sure it will even out over the coming...

Boyfriend snoring in his chair (for past hour) lol

Well done on your 2lb loss this week. Hope you manage to find some healthy foods at your meetings - might have to stick some fruit in your handbag just in case lol. Enjoy your Mother's day get together :)

Hi and welcome - wow you've certainly got your hands full with such a busy life. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're losing weight steadily, best way to keep it off, and we all have weeks when we don't lose as much as we'd like. Good luck :)

Hi and well done on your fantastic weight loss so far. Good luck for Wednesday :)

You look fantastic, no wonder you're feeling great, well done. I love before and afters - makes me think I really must try harder lol :)

When I get bored I tend to stick the computer on and read diet stuff, search out recipes, Facebook, Ebay, online 'window shopping' etc. On a good day I'll go for a walk around the park :innocent002:

Hi there - I'm a newbie too and was having a look around the site when I saw your post. I'm no expert, but seems to me that you've taken a big step by making the decision to lose weight. A wedding is great motivation and knowing it's some way off means you have plenty of time to lose weight...

Great that you're enjoying SW, I'm sure once you've been doing it a little longer it will be much easier and quicker to complete your food diary. You have a great weekend too :)

I love before and after photos - fantastic weight loss, you look great :D

Great job - looking good .... and younger lol :)

Hope you get the Dr's all clear OK and enjoy the gym x :whacky068:

Things can only get better, fingers crossed. That's a good amount of walking you're doing - I like walking as it's free and you don't need any expensive equipment :)

I use the Myfitnesspal app as seeing those calories add up during the day does keep you more focused. I've also got a Fitbit and watching the steps add up also keeps me motivated. Having said that I haven't done either since Christmas as I had a vomiting bug, followed by a cold which turned...

Hi Meagain - good luck on your weight loss journey :)

Hi Julie, I'm new too, and like Scooby5575 am not following any specific diet plan. I'm just trying to eat healthier foods, watch my portion sizes and do a bit of exercise - my main food demon is sugar .... oh and hot buttered toast! I've thought about vlcd's in the past, but I think the lack...

Guilty lol ;)

Yes all support is good Sully. I think talking about diets just comes easier to women hence the ratio of women to men on here :)

A pound is a pound Scooby 5575, one less to worry about! :)

Well done Sully, going in the right direction ..... and liking the food is always a bonus lol

You were right Scooby5575, 1/2 lb on, could've been a lot worse! Hope your weigh in went OK:scale:

Hi Sally - good luck on your weight loss journey :)

Hi Sully - welcome from a fellow newbie. Sorry to hear you're in such pain and that you've suffered negativity on other sites. Good luck with Slimming World and the exercise :)

Hi Lisa - I'm new to this site. I'm not attending a slimming club I'm as a bit skint, just trying to eat healthier foods in smaller portions, combined with a bit of exercise. That's great that you've re-joined Slimming World - you sound very positive and determined - good luck :)

I wouldn't say I put it better (but thank you Everhopeful :)), I thought your comment about being excited about a new interest and going from a run to a jog was very true. It's hard getting to grips with a new diet and it takes time to adjust to new eating habits and making the diet fit in with...

Hi Shayxo from another new member. Don't be too hard on yourself :-) Seems to me like you've taken a positive step in joining Slimming World and you have lost weight so you're going in the right direction. Good luck :)

Scooby5575 - I'm hoping you're right! It was a 'big' birthday so more naughty food than a normal one. Can't believe my boyfriend got on the scales this morning and hadn't put on a single pound - how can that be!! I was too scared to jump on lol

Hi Tiger Lilly - welcome from another newbie - still getting used to the site myself - there's a lot to discover. I like the sound of the post you quoted - I'm going to start eating for a body like Elle MacPherson lol. Only kidding, I just want to be healthier and feel comfortable in myself...

Hi Scooby5575 - I've had Chinese and Greek takeaways this weekend (boyfriend's birthday weekend!) Tomorrow will try to get back to sensible eating. Good luck to you too!:)

Thanks for your reply :-) It's my boyfriend's birthday weekend so not much dieting will be done! I'm going to try to persuade him to cut down too as it will be easier to do it together ..... must hide the biscuit tin from him x

Hi everyone, I'm new and quite shy but thought it a bit rude not to introduce myself so here goes. I'm in my 50s and been overweight since my teens. I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I'm sad, well you know the sort of thing lol. I've been a yo-yo dieter in the past but last year managed to...
