Today was an amazing weigh in. -5 lb even though my leg is still bandages up from the cellulitis. I am extra happy as I've now lost 30lbs in total, smashing my 28lb/2 st award.

Keep up the groups, they really help further on down the line. Will done on SOW

Well done on the loss so far, I hope you can continue in the same vein.

Well, sorry for not posting for a while, I've been away, but back now. I'm not much lighter, be will be working hard to drop the lbs. I have a water logged leg at the minute, so when is healed up I should loose a few there!

Yeah, either weigh yourself first and again after, and replace that amount in water, or 0.5ltr per 30 mins exercise. Exercise is something I know a lor about, just haven't done much in recent years.

Well I din't make it, I got a maintained this week. :badmood: Started running too. I can only think it's down to the running shocking my body:rotflmao:

Another 2lbs today. Was hoping for another half lb but after the day I've had, it's no surprise I didn't. Oh well at least it will be 21lbs in 14 weeks.

Just came across this link, Well worth a read! http://www.spine-health.com/blog/5-things-you-should-know-about-chronic-pain?source=3tab

You needn't be, you can manage it too.

Hi guys. Totally surprised this week, 3lbs off, and I've been naughty, not through choice always, was away with work over night and restaurant had ran out of stake, and only dido chips. Well 3lbs is a loss and I'm taking it and running. :bolt:

I've added the one that came up. Is it you?

I might just do that. How's you? You want to chat on FB? Would that be easier?

Well. Don't know what's happened this week. Stayed the same. I ate properly, may have had the extra one or two meals on long days, but they were usually SW sin free salads or similar. Thinking of trying to do card free one or twice a week. Can't cut out all together as I love pasta, jacket...

I had a few stalling weeks, now got my wings for a while. I know it can happen, I pray you can get back in to the groove!

Well, I have done it again, needed .5lb I got a full 2 so now 15.5lb lighter :sw014:!!!!!!!! :sw007: in 2 weeks! Body is feeling better too. Not perfect, but getting there.

Was SOW too. Total surprise! How's things going with you?

Hi guys. Totally blew it without trying this week 5lb off!!!!!!! Only .5lb away from :sw014:

Well, had two week break from SW, easter holidays meaning chocolate everywhere; I had two weeks away from my normal job and took a busmans holiday and worked driving lorries for those two weeks to put some extra away for summer holidays. My weigh in last night showed a 1lb loss in three weeks...

Hi. I have done my tern in a chair, so know the difficulties with that and how others quite often look as if they are thinking "poor person", in some ways it's a gift, as you get to view the world in a new way which means you have to face up to your own things, making you a stronger person...

Keep up the great work. You'll soon be down to the cat suit. :winner:

I was the same, till one day I was told that the TV was extremely loud, even though I could barely hear it. I have found that surround sound systems are no good for hearing loss, you need a good sound bar, that directs quality sound directly towards you, which TV's these days all have rear...

Really been a roller-coaster of a week! up, down, round and round. Have tried to eat well, but have slipped a few times. Was starting to get to grips, when I had to go have my hearing aid delivery tubes changed for full moulds, which is great in some ways, but in other it totally sucks, I can...

I totally get where your coming from. I really hope things settle down for you.

I hope my diet continues well.

I'm going to struggle, last Saturday it was bad news from my adopted Mum, Today my birth Mum says she has a benign lump in her chest, waiting for removal! It's either give up, or go hard!

OK, not brilliantly, but coping. How are you?

Well, as expected +2lb :(

Never rains but it pours. My Mum has told me today that Drs have said that due to her conditions, she could pass on at any time, all it would take is one cold, or other bug!

I would rather keep in the loss category aside have 170lbs to go I might start a picture blog, once a month I'll post a pic so people can look and see where I started and where I have made.

How many kids do you have? Chaplaincy is very rewarding,

thank you, I am definitely committed to it this time, or is that I should be committed ;)

I know it's not nice being ill, but a loss is a loss and I'd take all I can get, but with 10 stone to lose I have a long way to go...... Saying that, I have some holiday left to take, so might do a couple of days driving artics....

Travelled a bit then! There's always crossovers in the differing faiths. I'm a lay chaplain to the transport industry, and looking to lead a church one day, but I will probably do most study in post. Not good that your in pain. Do you suffer much?

I hope you are all feeling better. 4lbs in 2 weeks is pretty good too.

I know the feeling. What got you in to theology?

I managed 2lb last week, then ended up at Cadbury world, amazed I managed a 2.5lb lossless week.

Thats great, I am looking to do Theology diploma, possibly a masters in time.

That's a pain, hope it isn't too bad, What are you studding?

Thank you. Darn ticker wont update though!

Well, I am surprised. I have actually lost 2.5 lbs and thought this was my worst week ever! 9.5lbs off now.

I could get in to that, I love a nice hot chillie, but would give the creme fraiche a miss

Lol, I know that feeling, popped to Costa as I'm a coffee nut, drink it all day if I could. Ordered my normal large black coffee, then drop a dash, almost pointless amount of milk, and fancied a nibble, only saw cakes, so I asked for the fruit bowl, knowing full well they don't have one. But...

Hi @Scooby5575 you ok?

The lady Charmaine used to live in Wisbech, she'd be early 40's now. Flat tyre? You want one of mine? I got loads spare :asskick:

Been doing great today, thank you. I think so far I'm on 2 syns and that's over estimating, lol. I could weight in tonight, or go to my "usual" group, well the group I've been at twice and was registered at,

Hey @Jhsax, I just clicked your youtube, so spotted your last name, your not related to a charmaine are you?

I'm sure its just the exercise, some pain is good it shows you your alive! :nananana:

Today has been amazing, I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner, only using 7 syns! I enjoyed a nice long walk with family and friends up on Cleeve Common today, and so long as I didn't stop for to long, there was virtually no pain. Even now. While I'm getting ready for bed, the pain is still...

I don't do gardening, weird as I had a stint as a landscaper, but hey. Signature dish tonight; savoury rice fried in fry light, with curry powder. Then add peas and sweetcorn and boiling water, boil for 20 minutes, stirring every 5, it has a tendency to cling to the bottom. Drain any left...

Now your making me hungry :eatdrink023:

You've done very well, 2st + is amazing, I just hope I get that!

Way to go @Jhsax on the 2St award. soon be in the swimwear catalogue ;)

Hi @Pierce, I cant seem to get my ticker to update, updated it a few days ago, and nothing seems to have changed.

@Emmaline love your quote in sig. I use it pretty regular myself.

I know the feeling, I sweep my coach sometimes 4 times a day when out, and that's 39 strokes a side, then about the same up the middle, not to mention more when I have to mop out too :(, so really feel for you. I don't fancy a 20+ hour day either, but when you have staff that play silly it's...

I think it's a 9-13 * 2 inch pan, it normally does four, but one daughter doesn't like omelette and was still in bed. Wife needed early start, which will mean probably a 20+ hour day for me, but hey ho.

5lb, you go girl, get you!

Feeling pretty good today, as even with the slip with the coke life, I still managed to come in under 15. So hopefully a few days of that and I should be food for a no gain WI. Today started with cheese and ham 9 egg omelette, decided by 3 people. a little milk and water mix to being in the...

I am sorry to hear that, it's never easy to lose a loved one, and boy Di we love our pets. Hope it didn't affect your food diary.

Yeah I could try that. Thanks for the heads up. How's you Today?

OK, so I have enough pain, so rather than risking aspartame poisoning, I find myself some coke life. Great low calorie drink. It's 7 syns per 500ml, :tomato: However it's better than the 10 syns per 500ml, so it is better. But what do I do? Drink diet drinks and get aspartame poisoning, which...

Lol @Jhsax, one for them, one for you, one for them, two for you.

I think a dent doesn't quite cover it, they give you a curly wurly, a crunchie and a dairy milk, then you get given a pot of melted chocolate buttons with a choice of five flavour fillings. Curly Wurly 6 Crunchine 7.2 I'd have been OK here at 13.2, Dairy milk 5.5 makes it 18.7 The guessing a...

Well, Tuesday night (daughters birthday meal) went well, however Wednesday was a different story. I had to go to Cadbury world for work!:banghead:

I love flavoured waters, but as per earlier post, just found out they are ott with syns, nearly better to drink full fat cola

Hi @Jhsax I'm on water tablets, which as we are meant to drink 2ltrs plus a day, isn't very helpful, lol How are you doing?

LOL @Scooby5575, I am 46 inch waist, and I am trying to loose my moobs altogether. the current picture is me only a few years ago, when I was 42" and 19 stone.

I want to lose the inches, I haven't worn jeans in almost a year, and I used to live in them.....

Well, I weighed in last night, night early, as one if my daughters turns 9, so meal out with family tonight. I got 2lb off, so that's a half stone award for me :winner: Just need to figure out how to add it to signature. I've just been looking at my favorite flavoured waters, and guess what! 6...

Showing our ages there, lol

Hi @Emmaline, thank you, your input is helpful, especially any encouragement is especially welcome. I do hope I lose the weight quickly, I have a long way to go, and a short time to get there. :rotflmao:

@Scooby5575 OK, sounds like fun. *tag* your it. lol

I was just wondering if there was an email digest function, I need to check my emails by push for various reasons, but I find I get a few emails at once from minimins, so thought a daily digest might help. No worries if not.

Hey @Scooby5575, I've an idea why don't we start a Tuesday weigh in club :rotflmao:!

Yeah I do it that way now, just an app is usually easier for quick stuff, with browser for more in depth stuff. Thanks @craftermary

Hi @Sassie.b thank you, I won't let it affect me, i'm used to it. When it's played up before it's usually been food that's too fatty, like a grease laden plate with little to call a breakfast, or the usual overly hot spicy food, and, on the odd occasion, a poorly prepared Dona kebab. I used...

Hi @Scooby5575 how's things? I'm also a Tuesday weigher, not found a thread for Tuesday yet though, have you?

I love mushy peas, just shame the fish and chips aren't free, :bolt::eating:

I've just downloaded the app, it's days that the plugin needs updating, admin please sort?

Well that's a new development, I have had IBS for most of my life, but for 6-7 years is been under a close approximation of control, however eating the lovely food on SW, I am having to increase my medication, as the cramps are returning. How's everyone else doing?

Hi guys, I used to be in the gym working out regular, 2, 3, 5 timed a week, send was pretty fit, now twice that age, I'm not so resilient, or free to do it, so SW is my saving grace for now, if I'm able I would like to train for stamina fitness, rather than the power I trained for in my youth...

Hi Lolly19to11, I must say, all your awards, you must know what your doing. I go to Oxtalls on a Monday. as I work in GL, but live in Bishops Cleeve, so I go through Norton twice a day, sometimes more. I cant seem to be able to see peoples profiles, not enough access or something. You look...

if it keeps on like this there may be some extra calorie burning going on :pillowfight:

Hi Guys and Galls, :nananana:. I had my weigh in on Tuesday night, what a surprise, I had managed to lose 5 lb in a week,:thankyouthankyou:

What are we starting here :p

Well, I'm now starting my 5th day of SW, and it's grea. Can be a little taxing working out what goes in what column on the food diary sheet, but yesterday evening, as I felt like having a little extra, I has had my healthy b, but hadn't had healthy a, with a few Syns left. I didn't fancy any...

TMI? I've lived a varied life, not much makes me blush these days.

Anywhere good. Just hope that there will be some guys there. No offence meant to you lovely ladies, but I'm sure you wouldn't want a lone male spoiling the meet.

Hi guys, this site does look great, only downside, is there very few men on here, but weight loss support is weight loss support, wherever it comes from. I hope you all break your targets.

Wow what a transformation. Looked good before, but you look amazing now. I hope I can lose 6 St in 10 months, I'd settle for 12 months. You go girl!

OK, last night's weigh in wad pretty good, I weighed in at 25St 3lbs, which is great, as I was more when I was weighed the other week. Really enjoying slimming world, I forgot how good a salad can taste if done right :-)!

First weigh in tonight 25St 3lbs, that's with clothes and boots, which Thank you Sassie.b, that's very nice of you. I hope you have a wonderful time reaching your comfortable weight.

Hi itsGCbaby, I am pleased that you are finding the journey a good one. Just remember to have your sins, not cutting them out, I know people who went weeks without their syns, they put weight on, or stayed the same, but as soon as they started being nearer maximum syns, their weight fell off again.

Hi Clareel, thank you for your kindness. I am starting SW tonight @ 18:00, which should be pretty good. I am also doing some exercise on Wiifit, when I am able, managed a good 40 minutes of low impact last night. But can't do much on the Wii board as it won't take more than 23St 9lb's. I...

Thank you faireunsouhait, my experience of other sites has been a little frustrating, as many people seemed to think it was OK to be nasty, almost to the point they seemed to enjoy it.

Hi. I'm new to this site, but hoping it can be another useful tool in the box to achieving the goal. Sorry for poor spelling and grammar. A little history: I have suffered five different back injuries, all effecting my lower back, meaning I have prolapsed discs in my lumbar and sciatic...
