It's different for every person really. Some people find one plan easier while another may not. You have to find the one that works best for you. Personally, i'd done every diet/plan/regime under the sun with limited success until I tried SW and it just clicked for me. I find the plan incredibly...

Definitely not right and definitely not the way to go for sustainable weight loss. You're more likely to make your body go in to starvation mode which will either halt weight loss all together or in some cases actually make you gain weight! It also puts a tremendous amount of stress on your body...

2lbs a week is great and is recommended by most GP's as a sensible amount you should be aiming to lose per week. I started Slimming World at the end of January this year and had lost 6 stone by the end of October this year. I've had weeks where i've lost more than 2lbs and weeks where i've...

Doing SP today so HEA is going on roasted almond milk HEBx1 3x slices of wholemeal crustless bread HEBx2 2x carrot cake hifi bars!

Another 2.5 off for me this week. I'm now 1lb away from my 6 stone award which i'm very excited about!

As far as i'm aware they can't used as a HEB but I couldn't tell you why. I've wondered that myself but I steer clear of doing SP whenever I can. Maybe ask your consultant?

I'm in the same boat as you. Been on the plan 10 months and lost 6 Stone so far and never struggled sticking to the plan. Just had the bombshell dropped today that next week will be the last class as my consultant has decided she can't run our group anymore. We've been given a list of other...

Hi Popeye. Absolutely doable and sounds like you've made a great start! As long as you believe in yourself you can completely do this! Looking forward to seeing your progress! :D

-6lbs for me this week (though I didn't weigh in last week so it's cumulative) Bagged me my 5.5 stone award and now puts me at 3.5lbs away from my 6 stone award. Chuffed as my original goal was to be at 6 stone by the end of the year! Making my way toward 13 stone! If I can be down in that...

I always try to snack on free foods and save my syns for when I actually need them (usually the evenings hah) Yogurts and fruit are my go to's for when i'm hungry

They are syn free. They were on the SW offer and Iceland last month and SW always make sure the offer food is completely syn free. They're super tasty as well

I'm self employed so my routine is different week by week. My job usually has me stood up for 10-12 per day and usually entails quite a bit of walking and hiking as well. I try to have a structured exercise regime but it depends on my work hours for that week Monday: Pilates or Bodypump...

Yep, still 0.5 syns per stick :)

If you're on slimming work then in theory you shouldn't gain weight eating what you're eating no as it's all syn free/free/speed food. It all depends on how you're cooking the ingredients. As long as you aren't using any butter, oil or sauces then you should be fine. Just keep an eye on things...

Grilled shrimp for starter and ask for no mayo. Could also do the halloumi salad with no halloumi Steak for main with grilled corn (no butter) and a side salad (no dressing) instead of whatever it usually comes with

http://twochubbycubs.com/2015/04/12/salt-and-pepper-chicken/ http://pinchofnom.com/recipes/syn-free-salt-pepper-chicken-slimming-world/ Two different recipes. Both syn free

I'd say Extra Easy as you least get carbs on that one and more fruit/veg options. SP would probably be far too restrictive for a vegetarian

I hate sweetner as I think it tastes processed and yucky. I tend to use something called erythritol. It's syn free, looks and tastes like sugar and in my mind is a much healthier alternative to sweetners. It's not the cheapest product out there but I couldn't live without it now

I wore shorts on my holiday last week for the first time in about 12 years. I also didn't feel self conscious going down to the swimming pool in a swimming costume and felt amazing lounging by the pool and not even in the least bit self conscious! Never would have thought when I started SW in...

Amazing! Well done!

I'd do EE personall. I find SP too restrictive on the best of day, can't imagine having to do it as a chinese buffet!

Salads are always good if you don't have access to oven/microwave. Egg breakfast muffins are also a good one as they're loaded with protein, very filling, can be eaten warm or cold and are easy to store

Congratulations on your first weigh in that's an amazing first week success. I bet you feel amazing! I'm a fellow Thursday weigher so I look forward to seeing your progress!

If you've removed the fat and the skin then they will be a free food and syn free :)

Weight in today and despite a holiday away in New Orleans last week where I ate and drank myself stupid I somehow managed to go back to my weigh in day a whole 1lb lighter than before I went away! Very happy to finally be in this group! I'm now only 2.5lbs away from my 5.5 stone award so that's...

Welcome back to the plan! Hope you're enjoying it! Sounds like you've set yourself a good goal there and there's definitely enough time before Christmas to manage it! I look forward to seeing your progress

Hi Shell, Welcome to the forum!

Have you spoken to your consultant? It's important to remember that sometimes no matter how hard we try to be 100% on plan our bodies just don't play along. I've had weeks where i've had random gains despite being on it. See how you do next week and if you gain again then ask your consultant for...

My only experience with slimming pills (Either prescription or over the counter) has always been nothing but negative so I don't advise them at all. I've never found they speed up my losses, and all they seem to do is make me feel ill. Most weight loss pills are a scam so if you're dead set on...

Well despite a week away in New Orleans where I ate and drank to my hearts content I managed to shift a pound this week (No idea how that happened but i'm thrilled! Off to the 14's to 13's thread I go!

Spiderman Homecoming

HexA - Milk HexB - Oats for overnight oats

oyster sauce is lovely for stir fry and is completely syn free! I use it for stir fry all the time now!

Takeaway! Chicken and Black bean 7.5 syns 2 x gin and slim line tonics 3 syns each!

White and Brown rice are both classed as free foods on slimming world and is completely syn free as long as it's boiled and not cooked in oil

As long as they are dried noodles they're free wherever they're from. Sliced ham should also be free as long as you remove any excess fat

Because the more you drink the more you need to pass water lol. Annoying but it is worth it though. Keeps you hydrated and does seem to improve weight loss. The weeks where i've drank plenty I definitely seem to do better haha

Usually it's 1 Healthy Extra A, 1 Healthy Extra B and 5-15 syns per day if that helps at all

Hey and welcome to the forum! Sounds like you've had some great losses so far! Cto5K is a great way to exercise as well! You're doing fab!

Another 2lbs off today which means I'm now only half a pound away from being in the 14s! :) Next bloody week!!!

I bought a 'sexy' new bra yesterday :p I've always bought drab, boring bras that just get the job done as i've not really cared in the past but since losing the weight i'm suddenly seeing that a set of sexy underwear does wonders for the confidence haha

You can 100% do this! Dancing is a fab way to keep fit, especially when tied in with SW :D When joined slimming world in late January of this year and was a size 24 :( I'm now down to a Size 14 top and Size 16 jeans! Never thought it would be possible but with SW it totally is!

I can't imagine anything from TGI's is going to be syn friendly to be honest. As far as I know they've never released their nutritional meal values so I don't think SW can add it to the app so you'd be guessing at best. I don't know if you're veggie/vegan but if not i'd advise going for...

another 1.5 off for me this week! Only 3lbs more and i'll be in the 14 stone group! Exciiited!

Amazing goal! Hope you're enjoying SW so far!

I've exercised since day 1 of starting my weight loss journey. I don't know if it's helping or hindering with skin. I've noted the skin on my arms and belly has definitely gone looser since I started the diet but I'd rather have a bit of loose skin than be back to where I was before. I drink as...

The only completely syn free ones are SW's own. The regular aren't great but the paprika ones they have out for summer are ok. Personally I opt for Heck Chicken Italia sausages which are .5 syn each but quite small or the ones above!

Report it to your consultant. The whole point of group is it's supposed to be a safe space where no-one gets judged on their appearance or reasons for being there. You shouldn't be being made to feel like your SW journey is any less important than anyone else in group. If the consultant does...

Yes very excited about them! Hope they're good :D Loving the limited edition Coconut Macaroon ones!

That's a great first week loss! You must feel really proud :D

As someone who swears by gin, vodka and rum on nights out these days for a low syn tipple. I'd advise getting a shot glass you can carry on you for easy measurements. I have one that a key ring that folds out in to a shot glass and is a full 25ml shot. Means I can measure my alcohol perfectly...

Wow that's amazing well done you! I love slimming world for all the same reasons you've stated. Love how much food you can eat and still have great losses!

Haven't been able to weigh in this week due to shifts being a bit mental (very early starts and very late finishes) Hoping I see good results when I can get to a weigh in next week!

The ones I'm using are called 30 Day Abs 30 Day Squat 30 Day Arms 30 Day Plank They're all made by the same company and all on the App Store for free

Hi Ellen and welcome to the group! Congrats on your amazing weight loss! You must be dead proud :D Obviously not wanting to pry but is there a reason you don't want to rejoin group? I always find going to group every weeks gives me motivation but I understand not everyone feels the same. If...

It'll be difficult but doable. Microwave or Slow Cooker would certainly help. Failing that I reckon lots of salads

We usually have a Chinese every Friday and I either have Chicken in Black Bean (8.5 sysns) or Chicken in Oyster Sauce (5.5 syns) with boiled rice (free) I'm quite lucky since Chicken in Black Bean was my fave Chinese dish before even going on SW

In the slimming world handbook it has Melon (all varieties) listed as speed so I think it's safe to assume it's a Speed yes. I certainly hope it is haha! I eat soooo much of it on a weekly basis it's not even funny :)

Chicken, sweet potato & chive risotto Mushroom Pappardelle Asian Garlic Beef Pad Thai (this recipie is for veggie pad thai but I usually just add chicken and prawn to the mix Overnight Oats (really easy breakfast or dessert!)

As well as my regular gym session i've started doing the 30 Day app challenges. It's great as I can do them on the go and for the days where I don't make it to the gym it feels like a positive action :) I'm on Day 3 of the Plank, Abs, Arms & Squat challenges.

I'd say the thing to focus on is that you are losing weight. It may seem slow but at least it's coming off :) If you're concerned your menopause, I have diabetes and lipoedema may be to blame then i'd suggest speaking to your GP if your consultant hasn't been able to suggest anything. They...

Hey there. I only do this for special occasions as I prefer to have my syns during the week. At the end of last month it was my friends birthday and we went out for a curry and drink sesh. Knew I wasn't going to be able to stay on plan so just enjoyed and had what I wanted. I got straight back...

800 calories is nowhere near enough. You've probably but your body in to starvation mode which means it will be holding on to everything you've got therefore preventing you from losing weight. Consult your GP or ask to see a dietitian to discuss a healthy calorie level for you that will suits...

Another 1.5lbs off for me this week. Honestly more than I was expecting as it was friends birthday last Saturday and I allowed myself my first ever cheat night after 6 solid months on plan! I've set myself a mini target to be in the 14s by mid September as I go away on holiday then

Missed my Thursday weigh in due to work so had to weigh in today instead. 1.5 lbs off. Far more than I was thinking as I had a cheeky blow out last weekend. Missed by 7lbs target by 1.5lbs which is far better than it was looking at the beginning of the month. Happy overall. On to August :D

Hi Sammie, Yes much better now thanks. I had 2 very frustrating weeks where the plan seemingly stopped working for me but it appears to be back on track now thankfully. Think my body just needed a rest haha! Thank you for your concern :)

I think the only way to really know is by trying things on. I've dropped 4 dress sizes since starting my SW journey in January of this year and i've been unsure about clothing the whole way. I've just bought really cheap clothes to shrink in to (and then shrink out of) and just tried them on...

Hi and welcome to the forum AJ Congrats on your amazing success so far and good luck on your SW journey!

3.5 off for me this week bringing me one step closer to the 14s! Also netted me my 4.5 stone award and my 9th Slimmer of the Week

Lost 3.5 this week and got Slimmer of the Week Happy to be back on track after the weird blips of the last two weeks! Onwards and upwards!

After another disappointing week my small positive for the day is a little exercise we did in class today. Our consultant brought a 6lb brick in and made us all hold it. It was surprisingly heavy and she then made us state how many bricks we'd lost on our journey so far. I've lost 6 in total...

.5lbs off this week Better than a gain but no idea what my body is doing this month. Still a loss is a loss

Haha yes it's still very much alive Congratulations on a great first week loss!

Back in this group after a pound gain. Absolutely devastated as I've never gained since starting the plan. I know it's only a pound but I'm just so upset. Couldn't stay in group and cried for about half an hour after getting out to my car. Feel a complete failure after just getting in to the 15s...

1lb on for me. Absolutely devastated as I've never had a gain before since starting the plan. Absolutely 100% on plan, not faltered once. Spent the last half hour crying and couldn't stay in group because I was too embarrassed. I know it's only a pound but I'm so upset.

If you open up the smilies tab you'll see it has different categories (smilies, award KG, Animals etc). Second to last one of the tabs is SW awards. They're all in there so find the one you're wanting to add, click it and it'll appear in your sig. Then just save and you're good to go :)

If you're followin the plan I firmly believe it's impossible not to lose weight! You can definitely lost the stone! Excited to watch you journey and see how you progress Hun!

Hi and welcome! I've been on Slimming World Extra Easy since the end of January this year and so far have lost 4st 4.5lbs. I've been gyming 3-4 times a week as well doing dance classes and running as well (when the weather is good haha) I remember when I joined I couldn't believe the amount of...

3 syns for the 180g bag

Hi Sarah and welcome to the forum!

Freddo's at 5 or Kit Kats at 5.5 are my go to's

Hi and welcome to the forum! A massive congratulations on your SW journey so far! How are you finding it? :)

My weight loss for 25/6/17 was -3 not -1 :)

Happy to report a loss of 1lbs this week bringing me to a total loss of 12lbs for June 2017 and Slimmer of The Month award ag my group. Really happy with my result for the month as I wasn't expecting anywhere near that much of a loss! Aiming of another 7lbs next month if I can

Just entered the 15's today at my SW weigh in! Very happy to be here and can't remember the last time I was! Aimining to be in the 14's by mid August if I can but will need all the support I can get! :D

I'm in My weigh is day Thursday and this month I'm aiming for 7lbs again Thanks and good luck everyone! We can do this!

Another pound off for me this week bringing my total loss for this month to 12lbs gone! Very proud considering I was aiming for 7 in total!!

A pound off for me this week so I am officially down in to the 15s!!!! Now 14s here I come!!!

Depends on the kind of day i'm having. I usually try to drink between 6-8 glasses a day but if i've got a mad busy day on sometimes i'm lucky if I manage two!

Was on a day out with some friends today and one of my pals took a full length picture of me. I have always hated full body pics and with either crop them to just my face or refuse to have them posted. However today, the one that was taken looked fabulous and not only did I allow it to go up on...

Hey! Welcome to the forum and well done and your fantastic losses so far!! You must feel incredible being so close to teaget in so little time. I have an under active thyroid as well so I feel your pain in that one!! Sounds like you're making great progress so just keep doing what you're doing...

Hi and welcome! Good luck on your SW journey!

Another 3lbs off for me this week

I have and I really liked it! I added a bit more garlic to it as i'm big garlic fan haha but yeah thought it was really nice! I also added a bit more quark to make it creamier. Would definitely have it again! :)

6.5 lbs in 3 weight ins is really impressive! I understand that small losses on paper don't look great but when you add them up at the end of the month you an really see the different. You're almost your first half stone in your first month so i'd say you're doing well! I'd say give it a bit...

Bought a Size 14 dress the other day. It's incredibly form fitting and figure hugging and the kind of dress I only could of dreamed of wearing a few months ago. Tried it on last night and it fits perfectly without any control underwear :D

Weight in at bang on 16st this morning so another 3lbs off. Next week I will be in the 15s!!!

Thanks Aly101, My friends and family who i've spoken to have said very much the same thing so I think I will be going to see my GP just in case. A few people in my family close family have suffered from anorexia and bulimia over the years and I really don't want to end up with an eating...

Another 3 off for me this week

Consult your doctor for the best plan for you. If you've had a heart event you need to be talking to a specialist about what is and isn't safe for you going forward.

2.5 syns for the 149g pack

Back in gym tomorrow morning for an Aeromix class followed by an LBT class. Expecting it to hurt after the 2 week break where all I've been able to do is run but will be worth it !!!

Hello

Bought a UK size 14 top the other day and it fits! I haven't been able to fit in to a size 14 anything since I was about 15 years old!!!!

3lbs off this week! Wasn't expecting it as i've just finished my period which usually has an effect on my loss! Very happy though as it means i've just passed the 4 stone mark and I know have only 4lbs to lose to get me in to those 15s!

Another 3lbs off for me this week so that's my challenge complete for the month :eek: Very surprised as the previous month my weight loss seemed to be slowing down somewhat but this month it seems to have kicked back in to high gear! The extra pound off was also enough to bag me my 4 stone...

3lb for me this week so that my challenge complete for the month :eek: Very surprised as the previous month my weight loss seemed to be slowing down but this month it seems to have kicked back in to high gear! The extra pound off was also enough to bag me my 4 stone award at SW this morning so...

Just checked my BMI and it's down from 51.9 to 41.5. Still very high I know but never would have thought when I started my SW journey in January this year that that would even be possible

Since starting my SW Journey i've had a few mini achievements: Managed to run a 5K for charity (doing another one next month) - i've never been active so this was huge for me at the time! I know love exercising Slimmed down in to a dress that was 4 sizes smaller than I was wearing when I...

Welcome to MM's, how are you finding being back on slimming world?

Amazing well done on your 2 stone loss and welcome to MM's!

I completely forfot to update this last week after my Thursday weight in but happy to report another 4lbs off for me last week! 2lbs more and i've completed my June challenge!

1 large red wine (250ml) is 11.5 syns so you could have 1 a day and be withing your syn limit :) Orrr you can mix with sugar free lemonade or sprite zero and have 2 red wine spritzers for the same amount of syns. I always find this helps as you feel like you're getting more without going off...

2lbs is a decent loss for a first week! My first week on SW I lost 3.5 and I remember being really upset because I thought i'd followed the plan perfectly and was expecting 5 or 6 lbs as i'd heard from other friends that's what they'd had first week. You have to remember your body needs time...

If you're already having slow and small loses i'd say having 2 days off plan would just slow you down even more. I have a friend who did that for similar reasons you're saying and while she was ok with her decision at first she quickly got annoyed and left SW all together. The weekly weekends...

I want to be in the 15's by my first July weight in if I can! 4 weigh ins till then and 7lbs to lose to get me out of the 16's!

My dad has offered to get me a few PT sessions to help me continue with my fitness journey so think i'm going to be booking a few of those in later this month. Never worked with a personal trainer before so not sure if I want to be excited or terrified haha

Twenty One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty Nine

This! I've already found since losing weight i'm being more daring with my clothing choices. 4 months ago you never would have caught me in a pair of skinny jeans or a tight top as I hated the way I looked in anything figure hugging but that's slowly starting to change. I can't wait for the...

-4lbs for me this week which means I am 5lbs down for this month so far!

Hope you find you have better success with WW. Keep us updated on your progress!

Can't believe I didn't update this but I lost 1lb at my weigh in last week!! Will update tomorrow after weigh in!

This time next year I would like have lost 8 stone (if not more) I don't know what my end goal weight is and i've always said i'm going to base it off what I look like rather than what I weigh. I'd like to look and feel more fabulous in my clothes than I already do!

100ml of coconut milk is 9 syns 100ml of reduced fat coconut milk is 4.5 syns Being Vegetarian are you able to eat quark? I always use quark now when making curries on SW as it's free and still gives that creamy texture without eating in to your syns

Everyone gets it wrong when they first start out as you're learning and adapting. In my first 2 weeks I was having frosted shreddies every day as my HEB not realising I should have been having plain shreddies and was actually going over on my syns accidentally! Despite this I still lost weight...

You can both absolutely do it! The number of brides I work with who have slimmed down for their big day with Slimming World is what made me join up in the first place haha! Congratulations to you both on your upcoming weddings!

Thank you! Yes the weight i've lost so far has all been since starting my journey in January of this year! I've not been off plan once since starting. Had one night out where I went over on syns (curse you alcohol) so just compensated by not having syns for the next 2 days and it had no effect...

Hi there. This may sound odd but does anyone find that the longer they diet for they develop a fear of food or of eating in general? I've been on Slimming World just over 4 months now and I'm finding I'm afraid to eat the wrong foods and I'm obsessing over weight loss. I've been having...

That's amazing an amazing loss in 7 weigh ins!! Well done you!

Hi Isabelle! Welcome back to Slimming World!! I think your determination is fantastic and sounds like your really on it but I'd suggest weighing weekly as opposed to daily. Daily weigh ins can get really disheartening if you don't see results every day whereas with a weekly weigh in you're...

Hi bex, Yeah I know where you're coming from completely on this one! When I was 14 I managed to lose 2 stone on weight watchers and with exercise and then when completely off the rails when I started college. Crappy food and plenty of teenage drinking piled on the pounds which got even more...

You can also buy spices in bulk online :)

0.5 syns per 175g pot for banana and custard 0 syns per 175g pot for vanilla

That's always such a good feeling! Congratulations :D

I'll list a few of my go to's below. Majority of them are recipies I made before SW life that i've just adapted to work with the plan. Anything that I can pack speed in to is a must for me :) Stir Fry (can use any meet or veg you like but can pack it with as much speed as you) Steak with SW...

Taken from the Slimming world app: Brooklea Light Fat Free Vanilla Yoghurt (175g) - Free Brooklea Fat Free Vanilla Yoghurt (450g) - 8.5 Conflicting info seems to come from if it's light fat free or just fat free. From the looks of things if it's light and fat free it's syn free. I've guessing...

Hi and welcome! Ask all the questions you like, we're all here to support each other through this!!

Hi and welcome! Good luck with your journey! Best places for recipes are Pinch of Num, Chubby Cubs and Pinterest

I use an egg base for pizza to save my HEB and it always turns out nicely. 2 eggs, basil and oregano beaten together then fried on either side in frylight (I use garlic but any would do) I then just add my toppings and and whack it all under the grill. Doesn't taste eggy at all as long as you...

Excited for the chimichurri burgers :) Those and the chorizo sausages will be great for the barbecue!!

I cook mine in a normal oven and get a decent amount of crisp on them. I boil the potatoes first before frylighting them and putting them in the oven and it does seem to help with the crispness :)

Todays positive. I'm on holiday in Wales for the next 2 weeks and I am determined to stay on plan. Yesterday on the way down we stopped for McDonalds. I turned it down and made a salad when we arrived Today, everyone's just had fish and chips for lunch from the local chippy, I had a veggie stir...

Hi all! I'm on holiday in Wales for the week and had intended on continuing going to a local group but just unpacked and realised I've left my book and membership card at home!!! :eek: Does anyone know if I'll still be able to attend a local group without my book or card? Really don't want to...

Hi there, Been on the forum a while now and I was just wondering if any of fellow Slimming Worlders have PCOS? Do you find there's any free or speed foods you have to avoid or cut out all together because of the PCOS? I always seem to find on the weeks where i've eaten a lot of fruit or...

Weigh in on Thursday I want to lose 7lb this month! No holidays

I'd like to lose 7lbs this month which would get me to my 4 stone award! First weigh in of the month today and 1lb gone so only 6 more to go :)

Got my first Body Pump class today! One of the new ones I'm trying out!

Only 1lb off for me today. Happy for the loss but disappointed as I feel my losses are slowing down. I'm used to 2.5-3.5lbs a week so was hoping for more On the plus I got my 3.5 stone award so Still a victory!

I want to challenge myself to try some new classes (Currently do Zumba, LBT, Clubbercise and Dance Fit) and to run more. I did a 5k at the beginning of May and I have another one coming up in July so want to see if I can finish it faster second time round. I'm on holiday next week and just found...

Earned my Platinum Body Magic award today :D 16 weeks of 150 mins of exercise every week (It's been more like 180-200 but only 150 is required for the award) Loving the change i've seen in my body since making an effort to exercise and get fit. Can't wait to keep going and see where it leads :)

Hi, Yes your friend is indeed right red day, green day isn't really part of the plan anymore. There's 2 plans you can follow on your slimming world journey now and you choose which one suits you - Extra Easy or SP. I've been doing the extra easy plan since mid-Jan this year and had amazing...

I think it's great you've changed your name hun! Immediately it's a much more positive outlook to take :D I wish you all the best in your weight loss journey and know that we'll all be here supporting you every step of the way!

My current goal is 6-8 stone. I've only joined the forum in the last few weeks but the support seems to be here for everyone from what i've seen :) Are you going to be doing lipotrim again or a different diet?

Hi there, What's important and what you should focus on now is that you are trying to make a change. You're rejoining SW and determined to move forward :) I was upset with myself when I weighed in at my first group but it's important to focus on the positive moving forward You can do this!

Hi there! Slimming World actually had a great article about this on their website site this week. I'll link it below! Have a blessed Ramadan and hope SW goes well for you :) https://group.slimmingworld.co.uk/useful-features/ramadan.aspx

It's a health and fitness thing for me. Had a few instances last year where my fitness level became an issue at work and it was embarrassing! I've really enjoyed getting more fit over the past few months since joining a gym back at the beginning of the year :)

Low fat/virtually fat cottage cheese is free yes :) It's worth double checking on flavoured ones though

Right... I better get posting then ;)

I was 20st3lb when I joined slimming world on 19th January this year. I had no idea what my weight was having not dared get on a scale since my late teens so was mortified when my consultant told me my weight. I'm proud to say i'd shrunk down to the 19s by 2nd weight in on 2nd February but I...

Well I've lost 49lbs in 18 weeks so thy averages out at 2.5lbs per week. So not bad I don't think? Depends how fast you want to lose it I suppose :)

I really hope this isn't true because I've been using palmers for a good few weeks now and it really seems to be helping my skin a lot!!

Maintained this week. Not ashamed to admit I'm a bit devastated after the loss last week :(

Where is it? I've not found a chat room as of yet? Do you have to have a certain number of posts to unlock it?

Yep completely free :) Just checked the app for you

Amazing! Well done for your first week! That's great :D

4 lb off for me last Thursday! 0.5lb more and i'll have my 3.5 stone award! :)

I've got 6 stone as my current end goal but it's very likely i'll end up shifting my target to 8 stone before my journey is over I started with 4 stone as my goal (mainly because I didn't think even that was doable) and then put it up to 6 a few weeks ago. I think when I get to 5 and half lost...

You're welcome! Hope it helps :D
