Thank you, might fit a swim in next weekend

Welcome :)

I use '7 Minute workout' and I think it's free on the Apple app store. Unsure about Android. I use my fitness pal purely for logging what I eat in the day - I ignore the calorie counting aspect of it. I just find it easier to add everything in as I eat it rather than fill out a paper diary.

Hey, Well done on continuing with the plan, I know it can be disheartening when things don't go as well as we hoped. I've had a few weeks like this and I really have to give myself a boost to keep up the momentum. Are you drinking enough water? I notice an impact on the scales of I'm a bit...

I feel like I've been in the 11's for so long. The last stone has taken a while to come off, taking Christmas, Easter and my 30th into account. I'm hoping to get halfway into the 10s by the time I go on holiday in June. Fingers crossed I'll make it . I've got my fingers crossed for you too...

Hi! And welcome :) I've only just joined the forum and am already in awe of it. So many inspirational people here I have been following Slimming World for over a year now and am loving it. Good luck!

I'd love to join in - weigh in Monday, no holiday dates, aim to lose 4 pounds this month.

I've bookmarked the site onto my home screen. Much easier :)

Thank you! I will try and find some photos this weekend and will upload to the site. It's such a strange feeling - I know I've lost the weight as I'm buying smaller clothes and have far more energy but when I look in the mirror I think I look the same, doh! That said, I can really notice it when...

You're welcome. That's great news, I'm pleased you're on the mend and able to get out walking again. I need to gain some courage and go for a swim. Haven't been brave enough to out on the swimming costume yet :p

I haven't been brave enough to have a 'cheat' day on weigh day. I worry I'll end up with a large gain the following week. That said, I have had meals where I have planned to not stick 100% to the plan and those have been great. Once I hit target I think I'll try a cheat day.

I tend to by myself something nice at each milestone. Early on I would treat myself to a new piece of clothing that I had always wanted but could never fit into, and then I bought a FitBit to track my fitness. My latest was a new pair of trainers to wear for my gym classes :) I won't lie, I...

I find that if I don't eat enough it effects my losses. That said, eating too much would impact on the scales for me too. I think you just have to find a balance that suits you. It takes a while but you'll find it eventually. Listen to your body, if you feel hungry eat something, if not then...

Me! I love walking and being outdoors. I try and use my lunch hours to get in some extra stpes - we have a lovely seafront that I enjoy walking along, but I've started adding hills in now too.

I'm relatively new to exercising in a structured way but my week currently looks like this: Monday: weigh day and lots of walking - I spend my lunch hour walking to complete my 10,000 steps Tuesday: Leave the car at home and walk to and from work. Averaging about 15,000 steps a day. Wednesday...

I use 'my fitness pal' every day to log my food and water intake. I also use a couple of the 7 minute workout apps that give you small workouts to do at home.

I've just started a membership for my local leisure centre, haven't been brave enough to tackle the gym yet. However, when I went previously I used to love the rowing machines. There's something about the all over body workout it gives you and the 'whooshing' sound it makes as you work on it...

Am 1 pound away from being in the 10 stone bracket, hoping I can make it next week, I feel like I've been stuck in the 11's for ages.

Good luck for Saturday. It always feels good to reach the next weight bracket

Wow, you have done so well! What an inspiration, you look fab. Congratulations!

Hey, Well done on the 2lbs loss for your first week, Easter is always a tough time to start SW, however it's definitely worth the effort. I had sugar cravings and headaches from a lack of sugar when I first started the plan. It took me a week or so to lose the cravings and then I found it much...

1 pound off for me this week, happy with this as I've upped the exercise and am getting nearer to my target

Hello! I can't believe I've only just found this awesome forum I am a Slimming World member approaching my six stone award, I joined slimming world last January. I'm just under a stone from my first target and have recently added more structured exercise into my every day life. I'm looking...
