Don't worry too much hun. As we have all said at some point, this is a lifestyle change rather than a diet and you can't expect to never get ill again!! There are going to be times when you come off plan, now is just one of your times. Just concentrate on getting better and get back on plan 100%...

Hey all and thanks!! Didnt have cake in the end!! Aren't I a good girl??? Not really LOL... made some popcorn instead but that has to be a lot healthier than a cake!! Had about 4 hours sleep last night so am feeling rather rough today!! REALLY fancy a cooked brekkie but have no quorn sausages...

I am afraid my Mommy makes the best rice pudding in the world!! She makes it with half carnation milk and loads of cream!!! Now that is lush though not at all slimming world friendly!!!

Hi everyone... on green day again and been good so far today... had a load of fruit over breakfast and then had some smoked fish (hexB) and rice for lunch followed by a weetabix oaty bar (3.5syns). Think I shall be having jacket potatoes for dinner tonight. Though not sure what to have with...

Had the brunch which was yummilicious!! But ended up having syn free potato wedges with some bread and butter for tonights dinner. Was equally lush!! Followed this with rice pudding on which i managed to burn my lip!! LOL!!! And I have spent the evening just chilling out, watching a film and...

Helloooo... I do beleive you may have fallen into the same trap a lot of people do in believing that 1lb a week is not good... Even I get down when I have lost "just a pound". But what we all need to remember is that just 1lb a week can amount to an amazing 4stone in a year!!! I try to keep this...

Wow!! What great losses already!! Just hope I can keep the trend going!! Cara.. if you don't go to a group, I would just suggest a day you feel comfortable weighing in on. My weigh in day is on a monday but it will differ with everyone xxx

Mmmmmm.. thinking I may have to have plate of syn free wedges now!!! Possibly followed by rice pudding!!!! Am starving so gonna go make a start!!!

I personally would say from tonight but it depends what everyone else thinks xxx

Hi and welcome hun... it can be a little difficult to get your head around at first but we've all been there and are here to help. My advice would be to sit down and read your book cover to cover... helps to get an idea of what you can and can't have. Also the magazines are a great source of...

I was having a kedgeree as I havent had one in ages but totally forgot that you cook it in milk and didn't save a hexA!! d'oh!! So, now I have no idea what to have and will be looking to you all for some inspiration!!!

Count me in... may be being a little ambitious but I only have 2stone to go til target so I shall do my best to aim for that!!! WOOOO!!! CharlotteGrace1 - 21lbs - 0lbs lost so far Byron - 35lbs - 0lbs lost so far GracieMai - 14lbs - 0lbs lost so far Donnie46 - 28lbs - 0lbs lost so far...

Hehe!! I know!! I am such a pig too so SW works a treat for me!!

ah well... means I have had time to catch up with everyone on here, which is always a good thing xxx

hmmmm.. I am a single parent and she gets almost twice as much money a month than I do. I pay for SW and still find the money to eat healthy AND buy treats for my daughter. And I am sorry... but I would gladly take a cut in my benefits if I was given a free £8000 towards my weight loss!!! And...

What a fantastic thread.. I have just started leaving my camera in the kitchen so I remember to take pictures!! The first pic here is bubble and squeak... or what I call bubble and squeak anyway!! Leftover mashed potatoes, savoy cabbage, carrots and brocolli mixed all together and fried in pan...

On the downside... I was actually looking forward to the hours walk to tescos today... build up my body magic!! But I am also NOT going out in that!! LOL!!!

Fantastic!!! Shall be printing this off to stick on my cupboard door. Need all the inspiration I can get!!!

Hey hun... sorry to hear that. I have been a do-it-aloner too!! Silly questions are more than welcome especially if they will keep you on track... message me on here or FB anytime xxxx

wow... well done on resisting the lure of party food!! I can honestly say that nothing would have prevented me from having some homemade birthday cake!!! Just want to say thanx too as reading through your diary has inspired me totally to get the treadmill out again. Not sure that I would manage...

mmmmmmmm... chicken chasseur was L.U.S.H!!!! Well.. am still in positive mode today.. though have only had coffee so far this morning!! I am going to go have a brunch of quorn sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs and toast (hexb) in a few minutes!! I am thinking about having a kedgeree for...

ooh... was just trying to decide what I could have for breakfast... well... more like lunch now!! Think you have just decided for me!! (minus the beans as they are poisonous!! LOL!!)

Helloooo. I think my diary is boring too!! LOL!! It does keep me going sometimes though so I will continue to bore everyone silly!!! hehe!! Good luck with everything and keep trying... there is a lot to get your head around on this plan when you first start, but once it has clicked into place it...

Thanx girlies. Am having a slightly lazy day today. Furthest I shall be going is the post office and may pop in sainsburys. Woke up and had couscous cake for brekkie... quite nice!!! LOL!!! But only 3syns which is less than if i'd have had toast as the only margerine I have is 2 syns a...

hehe!! I did just about make sense of it!! It sounds lush... wish you lived closer so I could pop in and help you eat it all!!! lol!!!!

Cool thread... I would like to put in the last three months worth of negativity!! There is way too much bad food to list but all of it makes me feel down and guilty and so can go in the box as well. I would also like to put in my anger... just recently I've not been able to bite my tongue which...

Helloooooooooo.... and about time as well!!! LOL!!! Maybe you can inspire me now hun as last couple of weeks been crap with capital c!! LOL!!!

Not been doing good!! Have had major gains the last two weeks and am feeling rather down. Can't even bring myself to tell you what I gained as I am ashamed of myself (though not as bad as some peoples gains in one week that i heard of!!). But it my own fault and just need to sit down... re-read...

OOh... didnt realise i hadnt come to tell you all about my fabulous loss this week!!! 3lb!!! WOOOO!!! Not sure how i'll do on the next weigh in though!! Took a massive leap off the proverbial wagon today!! Oh well. have climbed back on now... didnt actually enjoy the food i ate so i think it...

How did you get on at weigh in??? Always allow myself a gain after a holiday... too many nice foods!! LOL!! I feeling good this week. My wii fit is registering a loss so i am happy!! In fact, I am feeling quite positive and have set my final PAT at 10stones 7lb!!! I was going for 11 but think...

DAMN......... Just realised what i said........ 23 weeks????? Is that it??????

What a week!! I have so many ups and downs this week that I have not known whether I am coming, going or just plain spinning around on the spot!! I gained 2.5 last week and only lost 1lb this week. And I know that a loss is still a loss but I was really expecting a bigger loss this week...

WELL..... Yesterday totally went wrong :mad: Just after I sent my post feeling all positive and looking forward to loads of exercise... my delightful sister in law texts to cancelgoing out as she cant possibly be up and ready in time!!! :mad: This pissed me off so much that I couldn't refuse the...

Well... I gained a pound this week :cry: I know why though and it totally all down to eating crap!! So.... I enjoyed yesterday and as of today I am going to "try" doubley hard. I am going to walk to my sister-in-laws house today, which is a good 45 minutes walk, and then we will be going to a...

Thanks hun... don't think I really wanted advice... was just really needing to let it out and taking it out on the computer keyboard relieves a lot of stress!!! I hope it works out too though!! Bit of an off plan day today. Not good considering I have weigh-in in the morning!!! Will have to jog...

I LOVE ALL QUORN!!!!!!! I too have stocked up on them!!! I have a drawer in my freezer dedicated to quorn pieces, mince and fillets. I also have a drawer filled with bangers, cumberland sausages, apple sausages, tikka fillets, tomato fillets, burgers, peppered steaks etc etc etc!!!! LOL!!! I...

Hi hun.. I also had a gain after stopping going to class and although I tried following it myself at home, it just wasn't going to work. So I rejoined a group and it is amazing how the motivation comes flooding back!! Another thing I do at the moment, when faced with a challenge (for...

Well... you have just decided for me what I am having for my brekkie!!! (brunch!!). Keep up the good work hun xx

Have you ever been so confused that you don't know where you are coming from or where you are going or what you should do next? I am in a situation that is slowly taking over my life. I would love to be able to go forward in time to see if what I choose to do now has the end results I want. I...

FINAALLY....... I lost 3.5lb this week!!! WOOOO!!!

Some members don't always have their big loss in their first week either hun. I know a few ladies that STS in the first week (one lady even gained) but then came back in their second or third weeks with big losses. I rejoined three weeks ago. Gained 2lb in my first week, STS last week but this...

Helloooooo!!! Am quite happy this week. Went to weigh in this morning and I have lost 3 and half pounds this week!!! :D:D:D FINALLY started shifting it off again!!! Lets hope this is the start of great losses to come!! LOL!! Just had my mum round and we celebrated my loss with a pork and...

I can't believe I just did that!! Was typing my reply and had almost finished and instead of pressing shift+w I pressed Ctrl+w!!! :doh: Thank you honeys for your support. This place really is a godsend!! And so far so good this week. Have managed to stay on plan ALL WEEK!!! :eek::eek::eek: Even...

Well.. I stayed the same this week and I'm not entirely sure why since I stuck to plan. Totally let loose last night and had a bag of chips with my daughter but have started the morning with determination to bl**dy lose this week!!! Have had half a melon so far. Will have a muller as well I...

HEHE!! the thought of me running has cheered me up!! :D Am feeling a bit better now to be honest. Think I was just having one of those moments and needed to get it out!!! :rolleyes: Have stuck to plan today. Possibly not eating enough actually. Haven't had that fruit salad and I am quite full...

D'OH!! Gained 2lb this week!!! Mega peed off with self but am back on track as of today!!! So hopefully next week will see a loss (fingers crossed!) xx

Hey all. I went. I gained 2lb!! :cry: Really pi$$ed off with myself. Never again am I making chocolate cake!!!! Anyway... fresh day.... start again. Though have been so down the last couple of days all I want to do is eat junk food!! Can't tell you what is wrong because I don't know myself...

Thanx babs. I managed to stay on plan all day yesterday. To the point that when i felt hungry at 10pm I shoved a jacket potato in the microwave!!! My mind was trying to tell me it was too late but had I not had that, then the biscuit tin might have been attacked!!! Weigh in tonight. A bit...

Forgot to say that breakfast this morning is going to be a fry up (grill/oven up???) with quorn sausages, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast, followed by bowl of strawberries, grapes and melon!!!! (if I not too full up that is!!) LUSH!!!!

That cake was lush and unfortunately I had an awful day yesterday and that cake became my comfort!!! I have been back in touch with an old friend. Just via email for the moment but it is all steps in the right direction. Yesterday morning I conveniently start getting messages from the woman who...

Cake was LUSH!!!!!!!! There is still some in my fridge screaming at me!!!! Have had another bit today which means I have gone over syns but I am hoping it all evens out over the week. Had hardly any syns on wednesday and have written a plan for tomorrow and if I stick to it I shall only have 5...

It is Chocolate Cake Bake day!!!! Will I be able to resist it once it done??? Well.... If I split the cake between 40 people, a slice will be 6syns. If I split the cake between 40 people though, would i still be able to call it a "slice"??? LOL!!! Well I rejoined a group Tuesday night and...

I joined group and lost 3 and half stones. I left and gained it all and more. I re-joined last april and lost 4 and half stones. I had to leave for personal reasons three months ago and I gained 9lb. I re-joined a group again last night and I can already feel everything slortting back into place...

Hey. That sounds so lush!! I am now drooling all over my keyboard!!! :D:D:D I wouldn't go without your syns though hun. Just draw a line under this past week and start again. If you try going without then you could actually do more harm than good as when you fancy that bit of something nice...

Well... I hope they are ALWAYS free!! LOL!! I eat loads and probably wouldn't cope so well if I had to limit the amount I eat!!

Yeah... I would!! Think you get six weeks holiday so as long as you think you won't need them sometime else, give her a ring. Have a lovely day xx

Good morning folks!!! :D Hope you all had fun on this lovely sunny weekend. Actually looks a bit miserable here this morning. Am hoping it cheers up a bit, had plans to try to sort the garden out today as well as take my daughter to the park with some friends and walk to another friends this...

I hate to go against what others have said but I actually find that if I have red days I tend to STS or gain. There were a couple of ladies in my group who found the same happened to them and so we stuck to having green days. Equally there were people who found that green days didn't work for...

I fell off the wagon so long ago that it is now over the hill and round the bend and no where to be seen!!!! LOL!!!! I'M DEFINATELY IN!!!!

Everyone is different and I actually differ day to day in how I eat. Some days I'll just have two big meals some days I'll actually have 4 or 5 light meals. As long as you aren't going hungry and so grabbing everything that comes to hand (well.... this is what I do!!) I can't see how it matters...

I'm the same! Have to force myself to eat sometimes. One of the good things about not working means I don't have to eat at set times. I generally drop my daughter off at school then have a large brunch about 10-11am. This keeps me going til dinnertime then. My fave breakfasts are usually egg...

Sometimes you can stick to plan 110% and still not lose. I have no idea why this is but at some point we all have these weeks!!!! There are also many factors to take into consideration... are you due on your period? have you been drinking enough water? ARE you eating enough? If you been doing...

Just got my wii yesterday and will be going to get wii fit and personal trainer 2mo. Was excited already but am even more so after reading all your comments!!!!

Am in absolute agony!!!! Stayed up til gone midnight playing on the wii!!!! It is sooooooo much fun though!!! And.... WOOHOO!!! I have finally managed to upload some pics so go feel free to take a look. They have gone in backwards so you get the pic I took this morning first!! The other pic is...

Hi and welcome!!! I too am a little overwhelmed at the extra easy plan!!! Will get my head round it one day!!! LOL!! All slimming world consultants are ladies or gents who have or who are currently following the plan themselves. My first consultant was a very large lady who as yet to be beaten...

I'VE MADE IT!!!!! Was yummy too!!!! Even my 7year old liked it which I am still debating whether is a good thing or not!! LOL!!!

Stuffed on splendips and a pear?????? That wouldn't even amount to a light snack for me!!!! LOL!!!!

Thanx sanicholl. I will look into the online one a bit further. Not sure what it entails to be honest!!!! :D Well.... My wii came today!!! Think I burned off some calories just setting the damn thing up!!! :8855: My daughter is over the moon and has spent the last two hours telling me how...

We've all been there hun!! Well........ I certainly have!!! Please do go to group... even if you gain. I always felt better for going and I'd come out with a new sense of determination!! Good luck xxx

Hey there and congrats on your fab loss!!! I too hate getting diet advice from people!! One of the most annoying was when they'd say that I couldn't possibly eat so much and still lose weight and that I should think about cutting down!!! LOL!!! Loved seeing their faces hit the floor when I say...

Woohoo!!!! Am feeling back to normal today!!! So overjoyed was I, at being able to eat again without throwing it back up, I celebrated with chocolate!!! LOL!!! Have just read a post by someone (whose name escapes me now!!) that has totally inspired me to get off my fat lazy a*se and get back...

Hi!!!! You aren't alone on the 5th attempt journey!!! This is also my 5th attempt and so far so good!!! Just a couple of tips for you though... has your consultant said to stick at 8 syns?? On plan you are usually recommended to have between 10 and 15 syns a day. If you try to stick to 8 and...

Bit gutted!!! My order has already been dispatched!!!! Oh well!!! Am feeling a little better today. Am on diet of chicken soup and toast at the moment!! (though did just risk a custard cream!!!). Have had a really relaxed day in front of the computer catching up with Smallville and Lost. I am...

I lost 4lbs though I have been ill all weekend so it isn't through hard work!! LOL!! Am still ill now. Just necked some upset stomach stuff and am hoping it doesnt come back up!!!! Ordered my wii yesterday but the wii fit was out of stock so imagine my annoyance now that they are stocking a...

I DID IT!!! I sent my friend a message this morning so it is just a case of waiting for a reply now (if i get one!). Well, at least i'll know either way!! Got myself on the scales this morning two days early. I am still the same as monday which is GREAT!!! Really am going to try sticking to...

Cool!!! This is fun :D:D:D 1. What is your name: LOUISA 2. A four Letter Word: LOVE 3. A boy's Name: LEONARD 4. A girl's Name: LETITIA 5. An occupation: LIFT-OPERATER?? (lol) 6. A color: LEMON YELLOW 7. Something you wear: LOOSE TSHIRTS 8. A food: LUSHIOUS CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! 9. Something found...

Hey all. It has been a while hasn't it?!?! I have been quite down this last week or so. Really been missing my friend and so staying on plan became quite impossible. Don't think it helps that it is hormone week!!! LOL!!! I am in desperate need of help with staying on plan now. Am seriously...

Haha!! Yeah, i may have done had i actually stuck to what i planned!!! Really need to get back onto plan. Although I'm not gaining anything, I'm not losing either and thats not good. I only got a stone or so to go and would like to be at target by xmas!! LOL!!! I am starting right now...

Have still been in holiday mode this week though and so have stayed the same :rolleyes::rolleyes: Am totally skint now and have to eat whatever is in the house. Have been given a curry recipe which is syn free and mega cheap...

Hiya asbo. I am doing the plan without going to class at the moment. I had to leave my group but have struggled to lose ever since. I find group is a social experience and the tips from other members can help keep me on track. If you really feel group isnt for you then try it alone for a few...

Hello chucks!!!!!!! We had a fabulous holiday!!! Lovely sunny and hot!!! And no worries... I ate enough from that bakery to have had everyones share!!! :D:D:D Was Lush!!!! So I was quite nervous to step on the scales monday morning but I was pleasantly surprised with just a 2lb gain!!! We did A...

I too have had poached eggs on toast!!! LOVE them!!! Sometimes have scrambled eggs and sometimes an omelette with tomatoes and mushrooms mixed in and an ounce of cheese as HexA. But yes, there are still some days that I can eat and eat and STILL feel hungry!! Usually when I am coming up to my...

Am feeling much better about things and NO it is not just because I have a large brandy running through me now!!!!! Am still craving that salad.... though would like it covered in mayonnaise too with a side order of garlic bread. Or any bread actually!!! LOL!!! Might just go have another brandy!!!

HAHA!!! loving your diary!!! And I know what you mean about the pizza menu!!! I am sure that all the fast food outlets by me are missing my business. I am having, on average, 3 menus from 3 different places, shoved through my door on a daily basis!!!!!! LOL!!! Keep up the good work xx

Hello... and welcome to SW!!! Grab and go stuff hey.... well.... you can have 6 extra light laughing cow triangles as a healthy extra so you could have those on some ryvita or I like them mixed into a jacket potato with some spring onion. Ryvita Limbos are only 3.5 syns (i think... will double...

I've been feeling really low these last few days. It is "that time of the month" but also, I've been feeling extremely lonely.

I am spending the day with my sister in law and it is gonna take all my will power to stay on plan!!! Their house is full of goodies and she makes lovely baguettes which are SOOOOO not-on plan!!! LOL!!!! I have made a syn free quiche which will be coming with me in a lunch box so I have no...

Hello Devonjo. I am following SW too and although I used to go to group, I no longer can and so as of last week I am also going it alone. Though the ladies and gents over on the SW board have been a great support too so I don't actually feel like I've been on my own!!! Good luck and I hope to...

WOOHOO!!!!!! I weighed in this morning at Boots and I have lost a fantastic 6lbs!!!!! I am sooooooooo chuffed. Though this was followed by a celebration with one of the fabulous mega-lovely scrummy yummy triple chocolate muffins from Greggs!!!!!! I am so happy though. Kick start I needed and...

Well.... here goes my attempt at one of these things. I have found everyone elses to be inspiring and many have cheered me up and made me smile again. This is attempt number god knows what at SW!!! I first joined about 7 years ago and lost 3 and half stones only to stop going to group and pile...

Totally have that self destruct button myself too!!!! Am currently working on de-activating it!!LOL!! As for SW chips.... i live on them too. Along with Jacket potatoes that is!! Potatoes make up the base of most of our meals so I am totally thankful they are free on green!!! There was a lady...

LOL!!! Well done for trying though babs!!! I tend to replace any sugar in a recipe with sweetner, although I do double the amount of sweetner too as I never find it works using the same amount as I would have done sugar. Good luck and keep us posted on whether it turns out ok. If they do, we'll...

Ah... ok then. Havent looked but i assume you can have more babybels than normal cheddar then? Only asked cuz normal cheddar cheaper!! LOL!! Oky dokey chuck-a-doo. Will give it a whirl with the babybels. It still sounds so lush!!!

OMG!!! this looks so lush!! I am a green day gal but as soon as i can get to morrisons i shall be giving this a go. Maybe on a day my brother and his wife can come for dinner given the other comments. Don't want to end up eating it all to myself even if it is syn free!!!! LOL!!! Question...

Oh dear. This was what i used to do too. Eventually I chucked my scales at home in the bin. There can be major discrepences between different scales. For example... I am half a stone lighter at my mums house than on SW scales and I recently found that I am 3lb heavier at my brothers...

Hey hun!!! I have learnt not to look in them mirrors!!! :8855::8855: They depress me too!! And I absolutely HATE going clothes shopping!! I am pretty sure that the mirrors in changing rooms are designed so you can see every little flaw and pimple and spot!!! LOL!!! Well done on your losses so...

Yup... Fuffs is right. I been doing this since last april but I still not settled on a target weight!! I was aiming for 11stones as this is what i got to last SW attempt!! This is now my mini goal. I can't make my mind up whether I want to get to 10 stone or stick at 10.7. I shall see how i feel...

I have just spent the last hour reading through your diary and I am cheered up no end. I hope you don't mind me following you from now on!!!! :D I am glad your son is okay and asking to be fed now!! lol!! And I couldn't resist working it out..... I have lost 432 sausages!!!!! :8855:

Don't give up hun. I've done similar things myself (many times!!!). Just forget about it and move on. You now know not to go for that drink next time though!!! LOL!!!

OOH!! Now i not a fan of yogurt but this actually sounds quite nice. May try this next time i make one. Will let you know how it turns out.

I've always been told 15 a day too. I try to stick at about 10 so i can have extra treat at weekend if I want one. I dont think i'd cope at 7 either!!

I do this slightly different as i didnt like it wen i cooked it in water. 3oz pudding rice, 3quarters pint of semi skimmed milk, 5-6 tbsps sweetner. Mixed together and stick in oven for half hour at gas 3. stir and cook for another half hour. Stir, add nutmeg to top. cook for 10 mins and then...

I have just this second booked tickets to go see the Doctor Who exhibition. We quite lucky as it is in our town centre. I quite excited now!! Though I doubt my future husband, David Tennant will be able to make it. Oh Well!!!!

You can have the same thing twice but what my consultant used to say was that if I found my weight loss was slowing to try to only have bread for one hexB and something else for the other. Bread is my downfall though so I usually have it for both B's!!!

WOOOHOOOO!!!!! I did take measurements and used to measure quite regularly but havent done in a while. So just measured myself now... When i started i was 50" bust 50" waist 50" hips. We are 10 months into doing this and I am now 43" bust (7"loss) 41" waist (9" loss) 44" hips (6" loss)...

I have found that looking at mini goals better too. I started at 16 stone 3lb so my first goal was to get into the 15's. Next was 15.7, then club 10 then 14's etc etc Before I knew it I had lost 4 and half stone and over half way there!! My next goal is to just stick on plan. I know if I can do...

I am making a Rainbow Pasta Bake from July magazine!!!! It is so lush!!!! MMMMM MMMMMM!!!!

OOOOOOOOH!!! I can't allow myself kitkats as I only like the chunky ones!!!! I'll have to find out their syn value and save my syns so I can have one as a treat at the weekend!!

I have recently had to leave my group. They were a lovely bunch and I loved my consultant dearly but due to changes in circumstances I just can't go anymore. I have been off the wagon since I left and am desperately clawing my way back. I would be very grateful of having diet buddies too as I...

ooooh!! I didnt know there was a new one out and it sounds quite lush!!! Keep us posted as to what it is like!!

For my health. This time last year i could barely walk due to having developed plantar fascitus. I dont ever want to not be able to walk down the stairs again or even just stand up without falling over. That is the motivation for me to get back on track. I WILL NOT GO BACK TO HOW I WAS!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for your support. This was the first time i weighed myself in boots. Was told they quite good compared to other places. Will just go there from now on then and hope for the best. Shouldn't complain really. Kymsy just reminded me that I actually lost half a stone over christmas and...

UPDATE--- Not happy with self!! OMG!! I had a feeling I may gain but I did not expect such a massive one!! Had the scales been smaller I would have thrown them across Boots!!!! OK... this taking some effort to tell you but I have had a gain of 6lb...

Hiya.. I new on this board but have been following SW since last april. A change in circumstances means I can no longer go to my group and no longer have their extra support. So I havent been to get weighed in about 3/4 weeks but I am going to go weigh myself today in boots. Haven't really been...

WOW!! you are all doing really well. Think I want to give this a go too. 11 weeks?? I'll try for 14 lbs.... holiday mid way though so gonna have to work hard around that!! LOL!! Annie - 21lbs - 17lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs to go 19lbs to go Bettylollypop - 21lbs to go Orion - 21lbs to go 19lbs...

Oh god yeah!!! This is my problem too. I just pile my plate high with free foods and dig in!! I wouldn't worry too much though. I have found that my stomach is shrinking naturally and I dont want to eat anywhere near as much as i used to when i first started.

LOLOL!!! Yeah... mine too!!! :8855::8855::8855:

Tesco have Quorn peppered steaks (2pack in fridge) on offer at £1.18 a pack (syn free on both days). Also 2.5kg of king edward potatoes are only £1.

Thank you everyone!!! You all so friendly xxx

OOH!! I waiting on the delivery of a yoga dvd which helps weight loss but i also want an aerobics type one. Might give this claire a go. I went on my sister in laws wii fit last week. It is soooo much fun!!! I was so chuffed that i could do half the exercises without getting out of breath...

I actually prefer using them but only cuz i is lazy!! they easier to chop up!!! LOL!!

PMSL!!! I just put it down to the fact that I can actually get down to see them now!!! :D:D:D:D:D I discovered my hipbones a while back but my latest is my collarbone!! I can't help but sit and play!! LOLOL!! I also like putting my hands round my wrists. I have always been able to but now they...

Your body needs a certain amount of fat and sugar and this is where the syns come in. I tend to average about 10 a day whereas a friend of mine has hardly any during the week and treats herself at the weekend. Both of us are losing well. Slimming world will say that this is your journey and you...

Hiya. I am new on here as well and also following slimming world so if you want to chat feel free to message me xx

I agree with sandy too. I've lost 4 and half stones and i still have days where i look in the mirror and wonder where it has supposedly come off!! I have kept a dress from when i was at my heaviest and i climb back into it at times like these just to remind myself that actually... yes.... i...

Hiya.. Drinking plenty of water is important. especially since you working out a lot. And.. are you eating enough? filling up on fresh fruit and veg may help. Also... losing weight slowly will help it stay off in the long term. I know how nice it would be to wake up and be at target but just...

Hello everyone!!! I am joining you all here, hope you don't mind me being amongst you!! LOL!! I am following Slimming World and have been doing so since last April. Actually, this is attempt number.... god knows what!! :giggle: I lost 3 and half stones (50 pounds-ish) on this plan about 6 years...
