@babsie007 slow and steady wins the race when it comes to weight loss I think - I always hear that the slower it comes off the longer it stays off so I remember that when I am wishing I could have lost 5lbs instead of 1lb haha!

Hi Babsie :) Well done on losing 9lbs already, I weigh every day too - even though they tell you not to I think it helps me to see if my weight is going in the right direction. Feels great when you get to buy clothes in a smaller size too. I'm back on SW for the billionth time again this week -...

you're welcome :)

OOps sorry! 1lb off for me :)

1lb off for me last night

1.5lb on for me this week!

Hi :) If things are free or superfree I just write them as they are, like "apple" and when I have fruit on my breakfast I just put "strawberries and raspberries" I don't weight them and as you don't need to there doesn't seem much point on that front. With things that are syns I do tend to...

managed to lose 5.5 lbs last month, bringing me to the lower half of the 12s.. can't believe it! Well done all I love reading about your weightlosses :)

Morning! Can I join? I weigh in on a Wednesday so first one was last night, lost half lb. so going to say 6.5lbs for June please :) that will get me me 2.5 stone award and into the next stone down. I haven't got any holidays booked either.

Hope you're having a good week So far sewingbee :) Half a lb off for me this week

well done everyone :) I got 5lbs off this past Wednesday, not hopeful for this Wednesday though!

Well done on the weight loss so far, looks like you're doing really well. A maintain is always a bit disheartening when you feel you don't deserve it but at least it's not weight on! Also, if it's any consolation, I maintained for 2 weeks and on the third week lost 5lbs so your body could be...

morning! How I would love to have your starting weight (at the moment, 11stone is about my target!) I've lost 2st2lbs since July/August last year but lots of other people lose weight a lot quicker than I do. Have you done Slimming World before? Good Luck :)

5lbs off for me yesterday :)

Stayed the same... again ....

3rd maintain in a row for me .... Sigh!

1 tsp of corn flour is half a syn :)

Well done all :) I had 2 maintains in a row so hoping for A loss this week

That's incredible! Well done :)

Well done on 4lbs off! Looks like you will be well in the swing of it by the time you join up :)

well done that's amazing :)

7 stone is incredible! I've heard of the Scan Bran challenge but I've never tried scan bran... are they like ryvita? Do you have them as a healthy extra?

another maintain for me!

I'm pretty sure ice cream syns don't count whilst the sun is shining ;)

Oh Ideal! I will buy some next time I'm out shopping, thanks :)

Sour cream is 2 syns per tbsp. :) If it's any consolation it's tipping it down here now, the summer was nice while it lasted haha!

No cheesey chips but plenty of alcohol! Was the icecream a Mr Whippy? I'm sure my consultant said they were 8.5 syns fos a small, so you're probably about bang on with 9 :)

I prefer the olive oil one.. it's in the green packaging. However, I don't really like any of them they seem to me to have a weird smell that puts me off wanting to put it in my body haha! But other people rave about them and I did find the olive oil one the best. I use oil spay that is 2cals a...

Hi Ladies :) I think there's loads of support on here when you look for it, especially if you know the basics. I'm with you with the public pressure snufkin, but I reckon with enough support and willpower (which I have none of!) you can definitely go it alone. Well done on losing 2 stone, you'll...

That looks good! Bonus that the potato wasn't raw haha!

incredible! you look like a completely different person

hello, just popping in to say hello, and so I can be nosey and get more notifications.. if you don't mind :) I'm never quite sure of the etiquette surrounding just popping up in other people's diaries haha! I always like to read other peopl'e diaries, it reminds me that everyone is human and...

Stay strong! Food looks good and keep that target in your head :) It's pub Friday at work today so I am going to need will power to stick to lime and soda and ignore the fact that cheesy chips exist!

Let us know how you get on with your soupmaker, I'm in 2 minds about them but everyone I know who has one raves about them! Leek and bacon sounds lovely too

if this is the one you had it's 11.5 syns :) I suppose most of the syns would come with any sour cream/cheese etc. J D Wetherspoon Jacket Potato with Five Bean Chilli (per serving) 11½

Spicy rice does sound good, I'm going to look out for it. I love looking at other people's food diaries.. I feel like I just eat the same thing over and over again until I get bored with it and then repeat the process haha

Stuck to plan yesterday and my syns were chocolate and sun bites and a tiny bit of ice cream between to wafers. Might have gone slightly over, but I'll even it out one day this week. I had to have blood taken yesterday as I've been not feeling well so the ice cream was a treat for that, do you...

Hi :) Looks like you're doing really well so far, have you been able to join a group yet? Generally syns work out as 1 syn per 20calories if there's no free food in it, so stuff like bread, crisps, cake etc.. If you're having something like a an options or a Cadbury's highlights they are only...

Well done!!! :) I love those roasting bag things too, I tell myself that it's not really lazy because they taste so nice.. but really even if it was only adequate I'd cook them just so I didn't have to wash up haha! I've never had those Linda Mcartney sausages but everyone seems to like them...

I was quite excited by the prospect too! Would be good for when you don't have a microwave or when someone decides to microwave fish pie in the communal microwave haha!

Success Express sounds good, I remember it vaguely from doing SW years ago.. seems a bit less restrictive than SP. Are you going to do it all the time or just for first week boost?

and cake only helps for a split second before it becomes the problem again.. speaking from experience ;)

I feel your pain, I think this attempt at SW has been my millionth attempt! I'd focus on all the good stuff you're eating though, yeah you might have had too many crisps etc but we all do that or we wouldn't be here haha. The rest of your food looks really good, just imagine what you'd be eating...

Well done you look and must feel amazing!

a maintain for me this week :)

Food since Monday has been awful.. so was thrilled to get a maintain this week. Went to my mum's for dinner last night, chili and rice, with cheese and a pitta bread (not sure of the syns) I knew this week would be bad in terms of eating and drinking as my grandparents were here, but it was...

Well doe :) it's all going in the right direction.. I maintained this week but at least it wasn't weigh on haha

Well done that's incredible! :)

A loss is a loss it's all going in the right direction, even if sometimes you think it's going really slowly it all adds up :)

Welcome welcome @X88B88 :) If I get a sudden rush of inspiration I might change it but I'd probably end up forgetting what it was called and losing it haha! Hope everyone's BH weekend is going well. Typical that the weather today is absolutely rubbish, there was talk of a walk to Blakeney...

In the book it says fried eggs are only 1 syn each, so you're probably under the syns that you counted. Did you decide on something for tea tonight?

Just popping in to say hi :) well done on the weight losses so far, I joined minimums yesterday but already I can see there is loads of support :) hope this week goes well for you. Do you go to groups or are you weighing in at home?

Can I join? Weighed in at 12st 11 on Wednesday just past, can't remember ever being this light so very very excited haha!

4.5lb off on my first week back, how's everyone getting on?

Boring choices are usually the ones you know you should pick! I draw the line at no salad dressing though haha

Do you have much weight to lose? It's easier to lose when you have more of it. Stick to it this week as well and the weig loss King catch up, especially as you are on your period, I rad somewhere you can temporarily put on between 1 and 8lbs that week due to water retention and bloating etc. Try...

Morning :) just popping along to say hi! As soon as you've got that first week out the way and you've had a loss you'll be super motivated. Don't be nervous, it might Minot be as bad as you think in the scales and it will be the last time you see a number that high (that's what I told myself...

Yeah I usually try not to use too many syns when I have a kebab on a Friday, I'm not too fussed about the pitta bread to be honest, I usually use my hexB on porridge in the morning unless it's the weekend and I cheat slightly and call 60g of fresh bread my hexb (don't tell the slimming world...

Well done on your 6lbs off that's incredible :)

How's it all going?

Sorry I'm not very good at quoting, maybe cos I'm not in a laptop? Anyway, I think I heard my consultant say once that up to 20 sprays is free and after that you should syn it. But honestly, 40 sprays is only 40 calories, of which you'd only have to syn 20.. Which would be one syn. Personally I...

One small victory today...managed to upload a profile picture so I don't feel like an anonymous rambling gender sign :D Also ... Not sure if anyone has Instagram? But if you do then my username is in my homepage link. It's only set to private so people I know in real life font follow me haha!

Dinner last night could have been worse, could have been a LOT better though! Had ham, cabbage, peas. (And then a bit of cauliflower cheese, 2 glasses of wine, a scoop of Hagen Dazs pralines and cream ice cream and a little slice of cheese cake) Ho hum.... It was all delicious! Friday- day off...

I do :) It's called ernies SW diary because I have no imagination I'll post the link in a minute when I've updated. Getting on ok so far I think, just need to stay on track.. Which is usually the hardest bit for me! https://www.minimins.com/threads/ernies-sw-diary.354612/ Here it is :)

I'd like to join please, as yet I have no upcoming plans for May so nothing getting in my way, would like to lose 7lbs :) I weigh in on Wednesdays

hello :) just popping to say hi, well done on the 2.5lbs off this week, that's fantastic. I know it was a little while ago, but I always have those breaded chicken things at the weekend, as far as I am concerned it's just the same as eating 5 or 6 chicken nuggets haha! I use my syns on stuff...

Hi :) I'm on week 2 as well, how are you getting on so far?

Hope you got on alright with your weigh in :) I'm sure you reigned it back in enough, best thing is just to not beat yourself up about it and move on

Well done :) You will definitely be lighter and feel better for your holiday in August if you carry on the way you are :) 4lbs is great, bet you feel fantastic!

Thanks raspeberri :) How you getting on this week?

https://www.minimins.com/threads/ernies-sw-diary.354612/#post-7906286 Oh ideal, here it is! Thanks :) Although, at the moment it is just me talking to myself! I had burgers, SW chips and coleslaw on Saturday.... it was very indulgent for a diet but it was amazing. I would highly recommend it!

Wednesday - was a good day. Had my first weigh in and lost 4.5lbs so pretty chuffed with that! I hate it when they ask what you want to lose weight next week though, I say a number but in my head I'm screaming ANYTHING!! haha. Food yesterday was good (ish) had porridge and raspberries for...

I've started a diary, I will have to find the link... assume I can just copy and paste it here? I'm trying to mix up my food a little bit, I am quite bad for eating the same thing over and over! (looking at you carbonara)

;)Tuesday - probably my least favourite day of the week! I have to work in a different office every Tuesday and Wednesday and one of my colleagues - who thankfully is leaving soon, really does not like me. The feeling is entirely mutual, but I feel I am better at being civil haha! (I like to...

Hi everybody, Just thought I would introduce myself while I am waiting for the system I need to loads up at work haha! I am back at SW, lost 1 st 10lb between July 2015 and Christmas, in January I stopped going to the classes as I found it all very cliquey and wasn't staying for the meetings...

Hi :) I stopped going for pretty much the same reasons as you after Christmas, but started up again last week. First weigh in is this week, so pretty nerve wracking haha! Well done on your loss so far :)
