Hello, I’ve been doing slimming world for nearly 4 years and I’ve lost 6 stones. Over the past 18 months I’ve been up and down and now menopause has set in I’m finding it very hard to stabilise weight losss. I’ve decided to stop and change my diet and I’ve been researching the 5:2 regime. Is...

3 down this morning and finished week 6 of c25K :)

I've found a way to colour them but there could be an easier way. Copy and paste to a word doc. Right click and text wrap (square) then insert a small text box over each day as you complete it and fill text box with the correct colour i.e green for 100%, orange for 100% inc weeklies and red for...

Thanks for sharing this, great motivator. Good luck

2lbs off today, so pleased as I am running/walking a lot and thought it might slow down my losses. Started week 5 of the C25K today and ran for 5 minutes 3 times!!! Gets harder as the week progresses and by the end of the week I would have ran for a 20 minute stretch. I will report back later in...

Fab loss, sunny today so final day should be good. Have fun x

Good luck with week 3 twinmum. I'm about to start week 5 (tomorrow), when I started I didn't think I could run 30 seconds let alone 5 minutes. I will be running 8 minutes (twice) tomorrow and then 20 minutes by the end of the week. Watch this space. Good luck again, let me know how you get on.

Thanks Jo. It is threads like yours which keep me motivated, you must be so proud of your achievements.

Thanks Emmaline, I think I really have the running bug now, well done to you on your losses, keep going x

I actually ran for 5 minutes without stopping - TWICE!!!! A total of 16 minutes this times and although it was hard I did it and I am very proud. Thanks for your support. Have to do it again 2 more times this week, which is fine as I am still on holiday (2 weeks left of the summer - booooo)...

Weigh in day and I have lost another 1lb, taking my total to 8lbs. Start week four of C25K today, a little apprehensive to say the least, legs ache from long walk yesterday with my friend. Sunny and warm today so might leave my run until later on, we shall see. Have a good week everyone.

If you can spend half hour on a running machine then you can go out for a walk/run, much better for you. I started the NHS couch to 5K plan 3 weeks ago and I haven't ran since I left school. I am several stones overweight but have managed to run for 3 minutes 6 times now (next week it increases...

Weigh in for me today and I've lost 4lbs! That's 2 for last week and 2 for this week. Very happy. Got my 1/2 stone today too. Start week 3 on the c5k today, wish me luck!

I found some skimmed 'milk sticks' in my local Tesco. They are 0 ppts for two, really handy as they don't need to be kept cool and can be put in your bag for emergencies.

Snuck a sneaky peek at the scales this morning and 1.5lb down since Monday morning so it was hopefully a little glitch. Have been drinking more and today completed 2nd run/walk of week 2 on the couch to 5k, I actually enjoy it! In laws round tonight and chinese is on the cards so I have looked...

Thanks Lanky, Yes I have eaten enough, all dailies and most of the weekly, I gained lots of points from exercise but only used 1 or 2 of them, I have not had as much water as I should so I am intent this week to drink as much as possible. I have been walking every day with some light jogging...

Very annoyed this morning as my scales say I have stayed the same this week.:cry:

Thanks Carly. I have had a good week this week and did my first couch to 5K week 2 tonight. Here's hoping for a good weigh-in in the morning.

Yay week 1 of couch to 5k done, a great week so far on the plan and feeling very optimistic and confident that I can succeed. Have accrued 35 extra points this week so far from exercise so I am going to use a few tonight and have a cider.:D

Thanks, I shall have a nosey at the weekend.

How do they compare in price and pp to ww frozen meals?

Day 2 of the second week and day 2 of the couch to 5k programme. Completed both :))) Anyone else having a good day?

Excellent loss this week for you, well done. Keep it up.x

1st week and I lost 3 lbs, really please as I have been doing lots of exercise and from previous experience I know that can slow down loss initially. Starting weight: 264lbs Current weight: 261lbs Total lost:3lbs Goals: 1. Lose 7lbs 2. Lose 14lbs 3. Lose 21lbs 4. Lose 10% 5. Lose...

Posted a bit on here but need to get myself into gear and be a regular poster so I thought a weight loss diary would help and if I post my journey it might help others. I started ww prop-points last Monday so I am due to weigh tomorrow, I follow the online plan and have found this week ok. I...

Thanks everyone, still working my way round the site, how do I put my food diary on here? I also seem to have 2 main posts and only one shows my ticker? Anyway began couch to 5k tonight, nearly killed me but I did it (nearly had to walk for about half of one of the jogging bits) but I ran for...

Hi all My name is Annie and I started online ww on Monday. I have tons to lose but am determined to go steady and give myself reachable targets this time as I think that unreachable target setting was my downfall previously. Any tips for pro-points? I seem to have got the hang of it and as I am...

Hi I am about to embark on a WW journey and wondered is there were any tips about the propoints system. Thanks

I'm hoping to get to my local club on Wednesday to join and then continue going until I get to goal (long hauler!) can anyone let me know what to expect from the club? What is the eating prog like and how easy/hard is the exercise class? Thanks

Well not a happy bunny at present, no more weight gone, no time for swimming so well behind at present:cry:A busy weekend ahead, but should be ok for food. Must find time to swim tomorrow and either Saturday or Sunday to catch up. Have tender boobs and have had for days now, this is a sign of...

Hi Aaleigha Thanks for your post. I do agree with you, my school staff room breeds cakes, biscuits and baked goodies! Good luck for Monday, I'm sure you will be fine. I've had a good weekend so far, been very busy which has kept me out of the kitchen. I'm off out for the day tomorrow and will be...

Well another good day today, and I bought kids and hubby Mcd then came home and cooked pasta for myself. Very tired tonight but have so much work to do for school I'm not sure where to start!! Oh well, onwards and upwards! Have a good weekend everyone, keep out of the cookie jar

Well done on your loss so far. I've had another good day and I swam 10 more lengths tonight than I had planned. Hopefully the good days will develop into a good week. Good luck with your week too.

Anyone know the syn value of the Dolmio stir in sauce for pasta - sun dried tomato light 150g pack please. My books are out of date and want to be sure I syn it correctly. Thanks

Thanks everyone, planning on swimming again tomorrow night. I was good girl and resisted the usual birthday cakes in the staffroom and the never ending biscuit tin. I am feeling a tad hungry around 5pm so I must make my afternoon snack more substantial. Hubby forgot and made me sausages and...

Thanks byaside and moon shimmer. Today went well really, managed to keep away from the staffroom biscuit tin and although I had a few rumblings I felt fine. Porrige (B)for breakfast, salad and LF cottage cheese for lunch, salad and chicken for dinner with free noodles and lots of fruit in...

My diary will be a mix of trials and tribulations, food, fun and woes! I'm hoping it will keep me on the straight and narrow and enable me to see where I go wrong (I'm not daft, I know I will go off the rails occasionally). I am going it alone with SW because I simply don't have the time to...

Well , I am armed with books and SW friendly foods so will start tomorrow with a fresh new start. Did CD a few months back, was doing very well, fell ill, diagnosed with overactive thyroid, on tabs now and it appears to be contained. Need to get back to losing weight though, don't have time to...

Hi Girls sorry for not posting on the Lake review but I simply couln't get into it and didn't finish it. I have started missing and that is going better.

Thanks to both of you, I will get them next time I shop.

Thanks Rach3, they sound great - are they very spicy.

Thanks Taz, been to our allotment this morning and I think I have dug and weeded off the dinner and pizza now:eek:

Hiya Lost 2lbs last week and 3lbs this week giving me a total of 5lbs lost so far in April. Soooooo glad the change from CD to SW has gone well. Take care all.

Just reserved May's tiltle from library - glad I did cos they are all out.

Well done to you, I came off CD after 3 weeks and a loss of 19lbs and went straight on to SW with a loss of 2lbs in first week, it can be done you just have to not binge and blow it.

Sounds very familiar, just stick with it. Have a goal - holiday, wedding or something as it really helps.

Thanks RM07, looking forward to he journey with you all.

I'm returning to SW after short CD attempt. I know of a few free foods on Red and Green days but would like to know more. I would also like to know of low syn snacks. This could benefit loads of people. Could you list your free food or low syn snack and its manufacturer, highlight red or green...

Hey Karen Dont' give up, I'm doing it on my own cos I simply don't have the time to attend all the classes. I could be here to help if you want. My books are quite out of date and I'm not sure about any new updates so I can help you with just keeping on track rather than the ins and outs of the...

Yes it was from 3 weeks which was a great start. I enjoyed CD to start with but after 2 1/2 weeks I simply couldn't not eat and more, I missed fresh fruit and veg. I like the SW system and now I have lost 19lbs it should help me to keep on track. My aim is 8lbs for the month.

Can I join please, starting SW tomorrow after 3 weeks on CD

Just started SW and just found this great thread, thanks guys, I will try and find some deals and post.

What did it taste like??

My cheeky board said the same! Such a great thrill to get on after not being on for weeks and it said loss of 1 stone 5lbs!!!! Must get back on 2/3 times a week, Easter hols coming so going to set myself targets.

Can I join the angels please, just started SW after 3 weeks on CD (simply couldn't go another day wthout food) Looking forward to fruit and veg again. Thanks

Hi Maria How did you find it? I'm off CD today and back on to SW saturday (out tomorrow) I simply couldn't not eat anymore. Your losses have been good, well done.

Picked mine up from the Library tonight. Looks good, can't wait to start reading later on.

AWW Margaret, hope you are feeling better now, are you dehydrated? That can cause headaches. Take care:)

No ketosis is the beige colour. Ketosis is best between the next two pale pinks up from the beige. Too dark means you are dehydrated. Hope that makes sense

new me 20009 - 14lbs - 2lbs - 12lbs to go night-owl - 10lbs - 0lbs - 10lbs to go Rachel L - 3lbs - 0lbs - 3lbs to go Chickydee - 14lbs - 0lbs - 14lbs to go onamission - 8lbs - 0lbs - 8lbs to go

I so agree about Evans, sometimes they are lovely but other times they are simply bland and old fashioned. Can't wait to get into Next sizes.:D

Toblerone

How have your first few days been? You should be feeling good now, when is your first weigh in?

Thanks Karen and Dexter's mum,I can't wait to get the book tomorrow.

That's fab Julie, brilliant willpower. I have lunch and a evening meal out on Friday. Both set meals - what do I do? Is it best to stick to as much lean meat and veg as possible and then avoid carbs? No worries over the alcohol as I will be driving.

Is there a website which can work this out for you? The chart in the CD books is not that clear. I would love to know how many more pounds I need to lose to be overweight not obese.

Proud to report a 100% day today:):D

Ist day of April and 100% day for me, so pleased. Weigh in on Monday but I am out on Friday lunch and evening - must be very careful.

Good Luck Shaun!

Thanks Tazzi and Sarette. :D

Well done to all with their losses. Been sick since 2am Thursday morning, unsure if it is a bug or not Managed 1/2 sachet of porridge this morning, hope to have a choc brick in an hour or so.

100% today for me, this is my 8th day on SS and I feel great. Bought some breath freshner spray but will only use it when it is really bad cos I don't want to get out of ketosis. Can you drink diet coke? My CDC says only black tea/coffee, water or leaf teas. I like diet coke and it would be nice...

Hi everyone can I join please. I started CD for the first time on the 10th March. Weighed in today with a 10lb loss. First 5 days was tough but now feel much better and full of energy. Anyone got tips on bad breath? Is there any carb free gum I can chew? week 1 loss = 10lbs week 2 loss =
