absolutely everyone Im with u on this one....when we reach a bit of a plateau or have a bit of a gain its the perfect opportunity to shake up the plan and vary things a bit....it may just be me being lazy (and working long hours) but i tend to stick to the same meals weekly and so i think i will...

thanks everyone ...Lainie im sure you will reach it next week , with a lil bit of a gain if u track really hard this week u should have a nice loss 2 compensate :) xx

hey honey its really hard for me to comment cos i am only 23...what I would say is that its quite probable that your bmi is not high enough to warrant one now....as to whether they would allow you one ...if you paid privately im sure they would,,,after all a couple of celebs who did not...

ooh congrats rebeccamary! it seems so far away but really its not if u think about it is it! yes of course that would be great...r u following any particular diet or just your own thing? I still have 6 and a half to lose so fingers crossed but tbh would be chuffed with anything over 4 stone...

Hi Callum and welcome :) wow well done on your weight loss so far your doing great. It seems to be working well for you doing your own thing, but if you feel like your running out of ideas then it may be worthwhile looking into joining a group like ww or slimming world, I think it really...

Hi silence welcome aboard! Im the same as u i was a member of minis for a long time but neglected it for a few months while i was on a jolly lol well done to dragging yourself back up and getting back on plan relatively quickly I shouldnt imagine too much damage has been done yet. Are u...

Week four weigh in this evening.....was hoping for 2lbs last week and only managed a pound and i have a sneaking suspicion that I have only managed a pound this week as well (i had a sneaky weigh) :( don't know why but I feel strangely disappointed with 2lbs in 2 weeks.....oh well I will see...

awww thanks so much guys you've really made my day : ) the one 'positive' is that according to the lady in the bridal shop 'for my size im in proportion' lol so im fat but at least im in proportion : ) ...but fingers crossed that should mean that it will come off relatively evenly well...

aww im really sorry to hear that hun and glad your feeling 100% again....just think that this weigh in will most probably be even better now. I had my second weigh in yesterday and lost another 3lbs so im ecstatic and its a great incentive to keep me going on the straight and narrow in this ...

nice shepherds pie, with smash if on EE or carrot and swede if red day

yes i second that was going 2 suggest the chilli

Ahh hun well done thats great 4.5lbs!! and just think if u werent on SW would u really have stopped at half a cereal bar? if ur anything like me it would have been a box of cereal bars lol so its important to notice changes in eating habits even when were making wrong choices...but u will still...

ooh i would be so happy if it were my home scales which were modest...grr never mind losses are losses...if I hadnt been doing slimming worl would have gained weight in the last 3 weeks, not lost over a stone i guess lol i know what u mean muppetgirly...i saw the weight on the scales at class...

wow Annie how do u come up with so many RED meal ideas?

:( Ok, Well yay! because, after following SW on my own for last three and half weeks lost 17lbs....decided was feeling really good and so went and joined local SW class last night. Was great, lovely group....and I was actually looking forward 2 first weigh in cos I have been following plan...

wow well done everyone!

cheesy meatballs and bachelors rice ...yum

Hey EmJ well done for coming back to SW! how long it takes 2 get to club 10 will vary for everyone, as it depends how much you weigh as to how much 10% is for u. I have about a stone and a half now until another 10% loss ...hoping to do that by end may. I have also started gym a few weeks ago...

Which ones were u looking for particularly? u may find that someone on here has it/ knows how to make it as there are many culinary genius' on here : )

ha lol!

Fuffs I totally know what u mean....sometimes im really positive and think wow cant wait 2 be in say the 14s or something cos havent been for a while, then I think to myself thats still huge for ppl of a 'normal' weight...but for me its an achievment and I know i will look and feel sooo much...

good luck phil, I am relatively new 2! lol i know what u mean about the carbs I have nightmares about them...though still love my green days 2 :D

i did this last night.....I wrapped bacon round, seared it in frying pan with fry light to hold bacon in place then put in oven for about 25 - 30 mins, turning halfway......that might just be me though as I am paranoid about raw chicken lol and they were massive, was stuffed after!!

Im learning 2 be a lot better with portion sizes and having 'normal' portions....the time I really struggle is when I make pasta.....I make way 2 much and, although it free on green, I still think I have too much cos i wake up next morning feeling bloated and it shows on scales, even if only...

what is this hand held computer i'm intrigued??x

In my opinion getting shopping delivered really helps to keep on track...I have done this for last three weeks and have been able to stick to plan, because I only have good things in house.....I find that when I am forced 2 go to tesco, asda etc this is when I really crave the bad food,cos its...
