Oh..lose weight you say?! Sorry, I thought I was doing an 'eat everything in sight' challenge! :confused:o_O Kay, could you put me down for a holiday this week and I'll get right back on it for next week? Thanks xx

A 1lb GAIN for me! Doh... Probably due to the fact I've eaten everything in sight!

Good morning Kay! I haven't weighed in today, purely because I was out at the weekend and would like to undo the damage! Can I change my weigh day back to a Thursday please? I think that works better for me! Xx

Yay! 3lbs off...very glad!

1lb off again for me please. I need to stop these weekend treats! X

I also do SW, calorie counting and 5:2! I do the 5:2 because I work 2 nightshifts a week and it's just easier than trying to switch from days to nights and trying to plan meals around working and sleeping! Calorie counting just keeps me in check...I don't worry too much about going over on syns...

One pound off for me xx

Amazing results everybody! Well done and thank you Kay...these challenges are so helpful.- especially to me as I don't go to group! See you in the next challenge! Xx

Yay another challenge! I'll go for 24lbs this time please, still weighing in on a Monday and no planned holidays. Thanks for doing this Kay. It's really motivational and if I hit target this time I will have lost around 70lbs on your challenges! Xxx

Two pounds off for me, thank you! Even though I joined the challenge late, I'm more than happy with my August and September losses! :0icanfly:

3lb off for me this week. Happy girl:)

Hi! Welcome and good luck! I hope you start seeing results soon...I do slimming world by myself at home and am finding it easy to follow and the results speak for themselves. You'll do well with the support on this forum. Lots of ideas, recipes and a place just to vent!

Oh lovely! What an amazing achievement and an inspiration. Well done xx

Wow! Well done losing almost 3 and a half stone so far! Very inspiring! X

A wee half pound off for me this week....not bad considering the huge meal out I had yesterday!

1lb off this week Kay x

Even though 18lbs in Sept would be amazing....I think it's a bit optimistic! Sorry, meant 8lbs!

Hi kay! Im back...the summer holidays have been a bit of a wash out for me but ive re-grouped and am ready to start again! Can i rejoin your challenge? My weigh in day is now a monday and im down 6lb this week. Think ill make my target 18lbs. Xxx

Hi Kay! Could I take a holiday this week please...due to going for a surprise stay in a hotel...woo hoo! So no weigh in this week or next xx

I managed to lose 3lb so really chuffed! Since Friday, I've not done so well though...our schools finished for summer so now I'm in total holiday mode! We go away on Wednesday for 2 nights then away again on Saturday for a week. Once that's all done, I'll need to get back on it! How are you doing?

Oooft...3lb off this week. So, so close to my 30lb target, but not quite!! Very happy girl this morning!

Still sticking with my increased protein to try and boost my loss for tomorrow. I've managed two full days without any sugary foods or unhealthy snacks so my fingers are crossed! Breakfast Muller light Lunch Omelette with babybel light some cooked chicken and salad Dinner Garlic chicken...

I managed to stick to my menu yesterday. Upping the protein really fills me up so no need to snack on much. I did have a wee bit cake at the school.tea party yesterday but I don't think I did too much damage. My Tuesday sneaky jump on the scale was showing a loss. Food for today Breakfast...

So it's not really been a great weekend food wise, and with 4lb to lose by Thursday to get my quarterly challenge target, I really need to reign it in and give myself a kick up the bum! I'm going protein and speed for the next four days to try and give myself a chance... Breakfast Muller light...

Hah! I avoid the 'fitness' part...!

Not sure about sites but I find most foods are on the my fitness pal.

Bah!!! I've fallen again! Mostly due to the elation of being child free for the night! I'm not even documenting my eats for yesterday because I really want to just forget it and move on! Breakfast Pickled egg Lunch Mugshot Sugars nap peas Apple Wee orange Alpen light (1/2 hexb) Dinner Quorn...

A rushed day with no fixed plan for food. Trying hard to fix it.... Breakfast Slept in and had the boys sports day so no breakfast...instead I had coffee and biscuits at the school :eek: Lunch 3 egg omelette with 2 babybel lights Sugar snap peas Hampshire 2 digestives :eek: 7 syns 1 mini...

Amazing 3lb loss this week! I'm delighted to have left the 20's behind forever! N ow I need to lose 4lb by next week to hit my target for the quarterly challenge! I'll need to be extra good to manage that! Breakfast Pickings of cooked chicken, pickled egg and fruit Lunch Chicken and...

LOVE anything pickled! Even used to drink the vinegar from the jar when I was pregnant!! :eek:

3lb off for me! Super happy with that!

Yes, I can be guilty of this too. Although it still happens occasionally, I think I've got it under control. I find having free food on hand helps. As above, anything pickled helps....straight from the jar! Also having things like sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes and fruit help. Little bags...

I've had my sleep...and woke up with the phone ringing. It was a school mum asking where I was...I'd slept in monumentally! Mad dash to go for the boy who was happily playing at his friends house! Mother of the year here o_O On the plus side, it meant 3 hours less eating time today... I've...

Forgot to post yesterday. I was away on my daughters nursery trip to the zoo so lots of walking done! Then working last night and just about to squeeze in some zeds before getting the wee one from nursery. Breakfast 2 boiled eggs Lunch Ham and phili sandwich (hexa & hexb) Mugshot Banana...

Yesterday was a great day, food wise! I'm all smug and proud that I managed to not have the cheese cake I'd planned on having...I decided the syns just weren't worth it in the end! So my syns yesterday were... Rice crackers 4 Kit kat 5 Curly wurly 6 So 15 in total. That wee slice of pudding...

A nice relaxing fathers day today. Taken the kids for a swimming lesson then heading out to visit the inlaws for a while. Breakfast Wafer thin ham Pickled egg Lunch Cooked chicken Mugshot Sugar snap peas Peach Dinner SW lasagne Salad A small slice of cheese cake (will work out syns later)...

I missed posting yesterday. I'd been at work, had a few hours kip then headed out to a family bbq...'oh dear, she's blown it' I hear you cry...well, actually I was very good! I didn't have anything other than the food at the bbq and stayed away from the baps, cheese and fattening sauces. 1...

Ooh, I'd love to see some new recipes too...I get so bored with the same meals all the time! Good luck on your journey!

I fell off the wagon only last week! I was sinking into a hole quickly and was in danger of sabotaging all my hard work. I had to give myself a good talking to and decide if I really wanted This and why I wanted it....and got back up, brushed myself down and started again. Planning ia...

I'm working tonight and I always wake up in a terrible mood and stew all day about having to go to work!! It really spoils my whole day! Better get the lottery on if I want that to change!! So, I feel I'm back in the right place to continue. I've had a great couple of days food wise so am just...

I tend to apply the 20calories equals one syn rule to these snacks. So 90 calories would be 4.5syns. Hope that helps!x

Good luck and I'm sure you'll shift that stone no problem!!

I'll join you for this one too please! Weigh in is still a Thursday and I'll be away on holiday for the week of 11th July. Target of 25lbs this time xx

Thanks kay! I've just realised there are only 2 weigh ins left so I think I'll change my target to 30lbs if that's OK?! Maybe, just maybe I can hit that!

I'm amazed to have stayed the same this week! I was good yesterday and plan to carry this on over the next week and see a good loss on the scales next time. I think a good breakfast of eggs helps me to stay on track too so I'll experiment with that theory this week! I agree @Sexyshell135...

I seem to spend every other day falling off the wagon and subsequently, every other morning trying to clamber back on! It's getting really annoying because I really want to do this! Yesterday was not good but I feel positive again today. I wonder if I'm bored of the foods I'm having so I'm...

Morning kay! Could you put me down for a holiday this week...it's been a really full on week and I don't think the scales will be my friend tomorrow! X

:eek: oh my!! I've no idea how many I had. I'm sure it was lots...o_O

It's Monday so I'm refocused. The cupboards are bare and I've no car today to get out and restock so I'll make a big pot of soup from the scraps in the veg drawer which will do for lunches over the next few days. Breakfast Banana Yoghurt Lunch Bowl of lentil and veg soup Ham sandwich with...

Writing from my sofa where I'm slobbing out, after being awake for 28hrs straight! When I've done night shift on a Friday, I feel cheated if I sleep all day Saturday so I didn't bother today...paying for it now! Matchsticks anyone??! I've not eaten much today, but here's my diary any how...

3lbs off this week Kay! X

I'm still here! Truly awful day yesterday as I was struck down with some horrible stomach bug! I slept all day and went to bed at 9pm and slept all night then woke up feeling brand new! Thank God for my friends who picked up my kids from school and delivered them to karate and fed them! On the...

Well last night's cloud was short lived and the sun is shining once again. Hurrah! I was feeling all smug when I made pancakes for the kids breakfast and never ate any....until I was Hank Marvin while preparing lunch and scoffed the two that were leftover! Hey ho... Breakfast Big bowl of...

I'm just outside Edinburgh...glorious weather all week but it's clouded over now. Just in time for the weekend of course!!

Here to follow! You sound lots like me...I can polish off a pack of biscuits in the blink of an eye if I'm not careful! I think I've got it under control now but still have the odd binge day. I just kind of clicked all of a sudden but I'm painfully conscious of what I'm eating now and sometimes...

It's no surprise rgat I've gained a pound this week. To be fair, I thought it would've been more! It's still disappointing though and I now need to dust myself down, and refocus! I'm just up after night shift so meals tend to be fewer... Breakfast/ lunch Pickled egg and ham Banana Dinner...

I'm going to sit down tonight and make a meal plan. I've just got the latest slimming world magazine so always find that quite motivating! Thanks for the advice...much needed at this point!

Huh! One pound on for me this week. So very disappointed with that!!

What's going on with me this week?! Just can't seem to get my head back into it...totally craving carbs, and giving in to my cravings. I was fine yesterday until mid afternoon when I had 3 slices of white bread with peanut butter plus a packet of mini cheddars. Then didn't want my dinner so...

*sigh* yesterday never went as planned either! So annoyed with myself! Lunch was in a soft play where I had a big plate of nachos. With cheese sour cream and guacamole. Breakfast, dinner and snacks were fine though so I really hope I've not done too much harm. Trying to be extra good today as...

The lost weekend! It was our gala day on Saturday and we had a blast! After the parade, we went to a bbq and enjoyed lovely food and lots of gin! Sunday was an utterly write off and I indulged in buttered toast, crisps and a chippy dinner! Not so slimming world friendly though so I'm back on...

Thanks so much Kay! That almost brought a tear to my eye! Xxx

Last night was fab. Caught up with a few friends and enjoyed a few drinks. I'm feeling a little sluggish and weary today and craving bad carbs. I've been ignoring the cravings and bashing on with the plan. Breakfast Oops...never managed due to the rush to get out the door but had a digestive...

No way!

I'm in the garden...I can hear birds and Bob Dylan!

I'm still on a high after today's loss! I was out for breakfast and out for lunch but was as good as I could be....until confronted by a packet of choc chip cookies. I'm might have indulged in one or five...o_O I'm out at the pub tonight so will be having a few vodkas, with diet coke of...

I'm stunned to have lost 6lbs this week!! It just goes to show what can be achieved if you stick with it. I find it so easy to resign myself to being fat, and start having the odd biscuit here and there but I haven't done that this week. I've stuck to it 100%. My total loss so far is 33lbs...

WOW! 6lbs off this week. I am a happy lass this morning!!

I'd be tempted to do both and see what the difference is! Then use the better number...but then that's probably not in the spirit of SW o_O

Post nightshift is as tricky for eating as during nightshift! So I finished at half 7 and got home about 8, got the kids ready and packed off to school then had a yoghurt before going for a few hours kip. It's strange to get up and move straight to lunch. But I think I've managed, though I've...

Thank you! I ended up buying a pack of cooked chicken and a pack of mini cucumbers to nibble on through the night...and forgot to put them in my bag!! However, I found some salad and cold meat and some boiled eggs so had that instead. Also managed to lay off the lurpak on toast that the rest of...

Hello! I'll be doing my first 12hour nightshift tonight after having 7months off sick...I just wonder how people plan their eating? Previously, I'd eat all my meals in the day - I don't sleep so it's difficult to just turn day into night food wise - then sit down to cooked food, supplied by...

Not such a nice day today...I was at a funeral. However, I'm still determined and don't plan on binge eating to curb my emotions. Husband is away doing whatever boys do after a funeral. I'm quite sure it'll involve beer. Oh, and our team won the Scottish cup final today so another cause for...

A busy day ahead, with work tonight so it's all go go go! Breakfast Chicken thigh (told ya I was busy!) Yoghurt Lunch More chicken thighs! Salad Strawberries Dinner SW spaghetti bologneise with cheese (hexa) Melon Snacks 2 alpen light bars (hexb) Pickled egg Crisps 4syns. Total of 4 sysns...

My kids are 7 and 3 and they still get up at half 6...or they sneak into my bed and I'm perched on the edge! I love productive early mornings though. Make me feel all smug and housewifey!

Hi! Here to follow too! I've lots of weight to shift and have managed 27lbs to date. That's starting to slow down now though, so seeking support and inspiration! Looks like you're doing great and your menus look fab x

It's no surprise that I've maintained this week. However, I'm safe in the knowledge that I'm able to move on (previously I would've said 'screw this, it's not workibg'!) and I know where I've gone wrong. So...onwards and upwards! Breakfast Ham Yoghurt Lunch Skinless rotisserie chicken thighs...

Aww! A STS for me this week...at least I know why. Will do better next week!

Another good day yesterday. I had a wee packet of 4.5syn crisps after work but was still well within syns. Mum's coming to take me for lunch today. We are going to ikea so I'll need to stay strong and avoid the meatballs!! They have some lovely salads there though so I'll opt for one of those...

Absolutely! I don't know why I ever eat rubbish when it makes me feel so bad!

Finally...I managed a good day yesterday. I'd been thinking I'd gone too far astray to bring it back. I realise I'll probably not see a loss on the scales, but I'm well prepared for that. Breakfast 2 small wholemeal toast (hexb) 2 boiled eggs Yoghurt Lunch Couscous with veg and smoked...

I think you're being too hard on yourself! One pound a week is actually a fantastic loss and a very healthy way to lose. Have you tried taking your measurements? If you're exercising, it's likely that your body shape will be changing without seeing huge losses on the scales. Try and not compare...

I really feel for you. I have struggled for an age with binge eating and did not cope well with the self loathing feelings it brought. Like you, I'd go to the shops and buy lots of pure junk then eat it wherever I could...in the car on the way home being the first step. Then I'd get in with a...

I did well yesterday...until evening! A biscuit here and there, bits of icing picked of the birthday cake, a scone... why am I struggling so much this week? I know exactly how and what to eat but somethings gone wrong. I'm going to sit down today and make a meal plan. Maybe it's the lack of...

Still here! Well and truly fallen off the wagon the last few days but back on track today. I've enjoyed my naughty days and celebrating my sons birthday but know I'll undo all my efforts (27lb loss to date) if I continue enjoying myself too much! Breakfast Banana Lunch Warburton thin (hexb)...

He is 7 today! I don't know what's happened - I feel like he was just born a year ago!

It's my boys birthday today so I'll likely be off plan, lacking hex's and over syns! I'll still try and be sensible, however! Didn't quite make my 2lb goal with my 1lb loss this week...2lb goal again for next week!

Another 1lb off for me. Not quite my 2lb target but it'll do me!

Another busy day happening here! No time for breakfast again but I did have the foresight to take a banana in my bag with me. However, I forgot it was there so never actually ate it!! I really hope my lack of foods won't affect my weight in tomorrow. Breakfast A big fat nothing Lunch Sushi...

So busy today that I've literally not had time to eat! It's my sons 7th birthday on Thursday so I've been running about trying to sort that. Didn't pre plan so I've really not had much. I hope it doesn't affect my loss this week! Breakfast Nothing. I didn't have time before the school run and...

1lb off this week. Better than expected considering my holocaust of a weekend!

I'm walking around with knots in my stomach as I return to work tonight after 7 months off, following an accident where I shattered my lower leg! I know it'll be fine but I'm still full of nerves about it! I'm managing to control my eating. Before now I would've been comfort eating to get me...

Yassssss!!!! Somehow, I've not had any notifications for the challenge so I've only just seen this! It is truly amazing and this challenge is so good for me. So a big thank you for running it and good luck to everyone for may! I'm feeling all smug and self righteous! :cool:

Enjoyed helping out with the school trip to the botanic gardens today. Breakfast was a rush and lunch was a picnic bit I think I did OK. Should probably be concentrating on sp & p foods this week but I'm finding that a bit tricky. Breakfast Pickled egg (told ya it was a rush!) Lunch 2 small...

Well, yesterday has happened and I enjoyed it. Now it's time to pick up where I left off. I'm feeling extremely tired today and wonder if it's some kind of junk food hangover... Food for the day Breakfast 2 hard boiled eggs Blueberries Lunch 2 small slices wholemeal (hexb) 4 slices thin ham...

Well I'm paying for it already...feeling bloated and sluggish and even turned down a dairy milk! Actually looking forward to getting back on track tomorrow!

Agh!! I'm AWOL this weekend as it's my husbands birthday...so far this has involved gin, McDonald's, Chinese and cake. Not so good and not even worth a post...it'll just make everybody envious o_O I'll be back to my well behaved old self in the morrow! Be good all! X

So I learned the 'fail to plan...' lesson yesterday! We ended up ordering Chinese yesterday because I only had chicken for dinner. No plan for it...no veggies in, no tatties cooked. So I had half a chicken chow mein and a side of cucumber salad. I think I was still within my syns but it meant...

I quite like blueberries in porridge. Could try strawberries too. Often with breakfast I'll have a couple of melon wedges just to squeeze in some speed without eating tonnes!

Phew! What a manic day...school and nursery run followed by a hospital appointment. Back in time to grab a few things from the shop and pick the little lady up from nursery to go and meet a friend for lunch, before scooting off to gymnastics class. This was to be my rest time, but the coach...

No beatings going on here! Must be doing something right...3lbs off this week! Delighted with that x

Woohoo! 3lbs off for me this week! :D

Why is it, that the day before weigh in, I want to eat everything in sight! Having to exercise a great deal of self control today! Breakfast 2 eggs fried in fry lite 2 rashers bacon, fat removed Melon Lunch Last of the soup 2 small toast (hexb) Cottage cheese Dinner SW potato wedges SW chilli...

Jars of pickled stuff! Beetroot, onions, eggs...lifesavers for me!

I'm fully back on track and committed! I almost forgot breakfast because, after the school run, I came home and got stuck into some batch cooking. I've made a huge pot of soup and a big pot of tomato sauce for pasta which will he frozen in batches for quick meals. Feeling good and ready to...

Well so much for planning ahead! I needed to go to the shop for beer for the menfolk and it went all wrong from there... I knowingly bought myself some chocolate and some crisps and dip. I knowingly put the tortillas on a plate, covered them in cheese and stuck them in the microwave. Then I...

I do it from home with the help of minis. There's only one class in my area so it's quite busy. Plus I grudge paying the money for class!

It's definitely worth keeping a log of what you've eaten. Helps keep me on track anyway!

They are delicious but not many in a bag! This is week 5. I've lost 22lb so far.

Oh my! Nearly forgot to post my diary for today. I'm so excited with my surprise 4lb loss that I'm all over the place! Anyhoo today's eats are as follows... Breakfast Treacle scone and butter (so I had a bogof voucher for cake at dobbies. How could I resist!?) Lunch Wholemeal sandwich thin...

I hope you've done OK despite the cake and puddings! 3lbs off for me this week! So happy with that!

Well, the actual sun is shining today as well as my metaphorical one! 4lbs off for me that week!!!

I'm a Thursday weigh in too! Good luck!

Another glorious day in sunny Scotland! Been OK food wise except the unplanned teacake! Breakfast Strawberry muller light 3 slices thin ham Strawberries Lunch 2 slices small bread toasted (hexb) 30 get cheese (hexa) Salad Dinner 2 Linda McCartney syn free sausages 1/4 tin baked beans Fried...

I try and forget about it but I'm quite bad for trying to cut back in the following days. I'm not sure yet what works best on the scales though!

Slimming world works well for me...as long as I stick to it! I find it far easier than working out points on everything I eat but be sure to weigh your healthy extras. An extra 10g of cheese a day soon adds up! Also, it's worth keeping get a food diary. I didn't to begin with and found that...

I've had a lovely morning outside enjoying the sun! I met some friends for a coffee. And it really was only coffee! My daughter and I had lunch in the garden and now she's snuggled in for a wee afternoon nap. Time for me to make some curry sauce for tonight's dinner. Breakfast Muller light...

Another hectic morning but, as I had pre planned my meals I managed just fine. I was invited to a friends for lunch so I took along my own bread! I'm sure she thinks I'm nuts! Breakfast 2 eggs scrambled 2 rashers bacon without fat Kiwi fruit Lunch Ham sandwich with 2 small slices of wholemeal...

Ha! He woke up on the couch at half 2by which time the kids had climbed in beside me. He had to sleep in the little ones princess bed! X

Thank you! It's a great feeling knowing you can do it!

So last night's binge has left me feeling guilty today. I'm completely disorganised and forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer again! I'm in danger of over compensating for yesterday so I'm making an extra effort to be good! Breakfast Banana Muller light Lunch Chicken noodle mugshot...

So super annoyed with myself. :mad: My OH went out for a game of snooker at 1oclock. He was supposed to be back to have tea with the kids and I.... he arrived home in a very sorry state at half 10!! Anyway, I did well and stuck to plan until the minute the kids were tucked up in bed...then I...

Writing from a snowy cold Scotland! Still doing well with motivation and eating well. Food for today will be: Breakfast 2 eggs fried in fry light 3 slices thin ham Lunch Bowl of lentil and veg soup 2 small slices wholemeal bread (hexb) 4 laughing cow light triangles (hexa) Apple Dinner 2...

I think you'll just need to have a guess at what weight you had! When I did this I searched 'pick n mix' on my fitness pal which says about 350 calories for 100 grams. Then I applied the 20 calories:1 syn rule. Its probably not accurate at all but it's a start!

Phew! What a hectic morning I've had! School runs, the big shop done, helping in school and now home to sit and have some lunch. Today's food will be: Breakfast Muller light peanut and caramel (amazing!) 2 slices thin ham Handful of fresh raspberries Lunch Bowl of homemade lentil and veg soup...

Wow! Well done!

Ooh ooh! My crisps were only 61 calories. I'm totes taking that half syn back!

I think the trick is accepting it. I hope that by recognising my bingeing triggers and accepting the diet no quick fix, I'll be able to move forward all the time. Even if it is just half a pound a week!

I've a spare five minutes so here's today's diary. I'll just make sure I don't sway from what I've written down! Breakfast Omelette made with 2 eggs, 2 shallots, teaspoon sweetener, splash balsamic vinegar a slice of ham and parmesan cheese (hex a) Lunch Homemade lentil and veg soup 2 alpen...

I've been doing really well on SW so far but, inevitably, my weight loss has started to slow. I fully expected this as it's happened on every single diet I've done to date! However, this time I'm prepared for it and I'm not letting it get to me! I vowed when I started that when the slow down...

2lbs down this week. Hoped for 3 but still delighted!

2lbs off for me this week x

That's a good idea actually. I tend to do nothing in the evenings. Once the kids are in bed all I really want to do is watch TV! Some nights I've been batch cooking, which helps.

I'm home alone tonight. As I've mentioned before, this is a high risk time for my binge eating. So to prepare, I've made a 1/2 syn cake as a safety blanket, knowing that if I demolish the lot, I'll not do too much damage! Conversely, though, I have no desire to binge. Its a funny ol' world!

What about making them in a shallow dish, like a pasta bowl, instead of a mug? Might be better if the pasta is separated.

Yay! Go us!

How fab everybody! Thursday is obviously a good day!

Thanks tubby. Good luck to you too! I'm 4lb down thus week! Hurrah!

Snap! 4lb off here too! Well done lickthelid!

Hi. I've just spotted this post! I'm no expert, I'm similar to you in that I just use mine for a sandwich but it can also be used for breakfast cereals, porridge oats and, I *think* tinned fruit. There must be other things too. Maybe someone more in the know could help? ?

Oh I'll take that too!

I think it's a mixture of things to be honest. Partly habbit now. I have a good home life though wasn't always happy so that can contribute. Being home alone is a big trigger which I've only noticed in the last couple of weeks. Its taken a long long time to figure that out!! I need to prepare...

Awww! Well done you. Amazing feeling!

From experience, it's so disheartening to have a gain. I know it'll come but I'm not looking forward to it! What do you do to move on? I struggle to forget it and end up on a slippery slope!

Kudos to you for even considering doing this with a little baby. My youngest has just turned three and I'm only just getting myself motivated to try and shift my lard! Well done and I look forward to seeing your diary. You write beautifully!

I find the portions a good size. I have a big appetite as does my 6ft 4in husband and we manage fine. Sometimes there are even leftovers!! In the few weeks I've been doing SW I've found my appetite getting smaller and not needing to snack as much in between. X

This is is fab site for getting some support, especially if, like me , you're doing it without a group. Even just reading through the comments for inspiration is helpful for me. I follow slimming world, although I am still learning the ropes! I find it easy to follow and easy to fit in with...

Is your weigh in tonight? Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Vary happy to report on another 6lbs loss this week!! Good luck Thursday weighers!!

Oh OK. I have a tendancy to keep to as few as possible!

Thank you. That's kind of what I've been doing but don't always have them. Are you advised to make sure you have both each day or does that not matter so much to ensure a loss?

Why thank you!

Cereal can't be the end of the world! I'll need to be careful now not to take my eye off the ball and scoff the lot!

Haha! I suppose as long as we loose, it doesn't really matter. I'm not familiar with red and green days but see it talked about lots on here. I follow the extra easy plan. Is that a different plan entirely then?! I thought it was just one hex a and one b. I'll need to do some more research I think!!

I just wanted to share my pride. .. Yesterday was easter Sunday and, despite a small mountain of eggs in my house, I managed to eat a grand total of zero! I have never ever managed this before so I'm a wee bit chuffed! Go me! And today too. Though I did have some syned chocolate (13.5 syns...

Hi! I do slimming world at home also. I'm new here and new to slimming world. I find this site helpful, even just browsing through to read inspirational posts and advice or to pop in for a chat/question or boast! ! I'm finding the food easy and filling and have taken most of the recipes from...

Oooft. There is a mountain of chocolate eggs watching my every move, whispering 'eat me' whenever I walk past! But.... I have gone the whole day without touching one, except to break the ears off a cadburys bunny for my 3 year old. And I didn't even lick my fingers! I'm very pleased with myself...

I'm on a bad day too. Moving on... Iwillbebettertomorrowiwillbebettertomorrowiwillbebettertomorrow...

Ooh I do love a smoked sausage! I've been to mothers for lunch today - sandwiches, scotch eggs, quiche and cake! I had a little bit of everything and was quite restrained for me! Draw a line and move on. Hoping to see fabulous losses next week x

I'm new to SW also and I'm doing it alone too. I'm finding recipes in old magazines and managing to find quite a lot online. I've been making soup at the beginning of the week, which does for lunches along with a warburtons sandwich thin on lightest philadelphia and ham/bacon. Tonight we are...

6lbs gone! Well chuffed with that. Just need to keep at it and I'll be sorted! And you?

So happy to have shifted 6lbs! ! Well done Torn_Tranquility! Fab result. Good luck everyone

Hi DanaScully. I'm new too! I've gained lots in the last 3 years, post pregnancy but determined to shift it now. I really get the feeling this forum will help! I'm following slimming world, but not a member. Just going solo for now. I may join a class if I struggle alone or if my weight loss...

Hi serialdieter71. I did very well using the 'my fitness pal' app. This was 3 and a half years ago, before I fell pregnant with my 2nd. I managed to lose about 5 stone by tracking my food and keeping an eye on my calories. The app will work out how many calories you should have a day, based on...

I'd quite like to join in too! I'd like to lose 35lbs by the end of June (please!) What a great idea to keep everybody motivated! Weigh in is on a Thursday x

Can I join in?! I'm a newbie with a long road ahead so looking for lots of support! First weigh in is tomorrow. I'm doing sw alone at home for now. Have had a great week but a bit of a gin fest at the weekend has left me a bit nervous!! Good luck tomorrow x

I'm new here but weigh in is a Thursday for me. Tomorrow will be my first but a sneaky peek has revealed a 4lb loss. I'd be delighted with that but will wait for the final result tomorrow. I'm terrified!!! Good luck everyone!!

I actually follow slimming world AND track my food and weight on my fitness pal! I find it easy to keep track of what I've eaten and can cap my daily intake - I know you're not supposed to count calories on SW but it helps me! And it's kind of just a guide anyway.

I haven't heard of her but will have a look. I did quite well doing callanetics a few years ago so had considered trying to apply some of the exercises, but so much of it is floor based and I'm not yet able to get down on the floor - let alone back up!!

Thank you! Yes, it's awful when you're feeling motivated to do something but can't act on it. The most I can manage is a ten minute slow walk. Very frustrating!! However, I think if I reign in my eating, it's a good start! Good luck with your journey!

I love pickled onions. Beetroot too! I was thinking of buying some of the flavoured instant coffee. It might curb the sweet cravings and feel a little bit indulgent too. I've written today off. Just didn't cope well at all. Tomorrow is a new day! Thanks for all the advice ☺

Thank you! It's such a struggle not giving in to the urges. I literally have an inner battle with myself! I've had a big bowl of soup with a sandwich thin on phili and smoked salmon and a kiwi fruit. An hour later my head is back in the fridge looking for more. I know I'm not hungry but guess...

I also wonder... if binge eating on SW free food, am I still likely to see a loss? Ideally, I'd like to stop but wondered if eating huge amounts of free foods makes any difference.!

Oh my! I'm a serial binge eater trying super hard to stop. I've just been to asda and feel I'm right on the edge of eating the whole lot. So far I've had a small tub of zero fat cottage cheese, a good handful of wafer thin ham a digestive biscuit and a cheese string!! I'm only on day 4 and...

How awful! I've been to a fair few groups and always end up feeling uncofortable/embarrassed /ashamed... possibly more an issue with me, but I'm certainly put of going to classes and am now trying to go it alone. At least until I'm a little bit more confident in my skin! Good for you for getting...

Thank you! It's been a long road but can finally see the light...! I've been trying to navigate my way round the page and stumbled upon a SW forum. Lots if useful information there! Finally bit the bullet and weighed myself today! Not a pretty number but keen to get it shifting in the right...

Hi everyone! I've joined up to minimins after seeing links on other pages, so thought I'd try. I am a mother of two littlies, aged 6 and 3 and am a part time night duty staff nurse. Desperate to lose xxxxx stone after piling on the pound post pregnancies! However, I'm recovering from an...
