Hi Fay, I'm a similar sort of size / weight and just starting out - again! I'm not doing any particular diet, just a very healthy eating one with portion control and it's working so far. Hope you are getting on ok? :-)

I'm 5'6" and weigh 21st 10lbs. I am a size 22/24 on top and a size 24 on the bottom.

I was nearly 3 stone heavier than him, now I'm lighter! He's starting a diet soon too though so am sure he'll catch up and overtake me at some point, but eventually I'll be a lot lighter than him in the future too!

Hi, am going to join in with you guys, if that's ok? I'm going to try and get myself into the right frame of mind for the countdown to xmas!

I was wondering this too! Thanks for bringing it up, I will double-check with the consultant before I do anything! x

Thank you!

That's brilliant, well done you! x

A couple of years ago I would have said it was 19st 10 lbs, but then another child and a bit more choccie eating later and my heaviest weight was when I joined Slimming World and realised I was 20st 7 lbs. I have my head and my heart in the right place this time and am determined to succeed!

Well, I have 4 lbs to shift to get my Stone and a Half award so wouldn't mind shifting 4 lbs this next week. My next goal after that is 2 Stone award and then my SW Club10 award. Just a quick question/poll - who eats breakfast and do you think it's crucial to weight loss or should I only be...

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding, thanks for the positive comments! I lost 6 lbs this last week, the most so far, lets hope I can keep it up for the long haul ahead! x

Well done you! x

That sounds a great idea for an indian meal, have been wondering what I would have if we were to go out soon. Will remember to ask about the ghee too.

Roast chicken (minus skin!) with a yummy salad, peppers and lovely hard-boiled eggs. Filled me up nicely, cup of tea later. x

What you currently eat sounds a lot like the older 'Green' days plan? I don't know much about that one, but others might be able to help. If that is the case then maybe there's no harm trying it out? x

It's annoying that, isn't it? when our bodies decide they are comfortable with what we are eating and need a shake-up! I do try and have at least one healthy pasta/rice meal a week and a couple of sarnies to mix things up.

I started with a friend who had lost a lot and reached target. She was an inspiration and came with me for the first few weeks. Now she knows I'm settled and am meeting others she doesn't always stay for the class, but am grateful for her ongoing support. Unless you know that the person you are...

I am losing weight and don't feel hungry at all. It does work!

I was doing the EE plan, but it just so happens I tried sticking more to the Original/Red plan for a week and had a fab loss. I will try the Red Days all this next week and see how I get on, it might work quite well for me. Good to know though that EE is there if I want it.

Also wanted to say that the photo with the 1 lb of fat next to the mug is brilliant, really hits home about how much c**ppy fat we must have in our bodies! I will not complain if I only lose a lb, thank you.

This is my second time 'dieting', but my first with slimming world. I am enjoying my group, as someone else said, it's my 'me time' away from hubby and kids lol! Hopefully will not go off track this time now I go to group, keeping focused.

Of course that does mean that I have to find £30 to put into the savings pot this week lol! Could be an expensive month if I keep this up!

I've decided to save £5 for every 1 lb that I lose and then when I reach target I will have a good sum of money to go out and buy a whole new slim and sexy wardrobe! Aiming for £700 in total!

Good on you for deciding to join, I went with a friend who had reached target and I haven't looked back. I found in my first week I was so excited and motivated, I tried really hard and you should find yourself thinking more about what you eat and drink and be able to make some better choices...

Can't seem to add to my sig anymore, do I have to get to 50 posts before I can add more bits and pieces to my sig? x

I've lost 6 lbs this week!!! Also got my first Slimmer of the Week award! Very happy with myself! Have set a personal target to lose at least 4 lbs this next week so I can reach my 1.5 stone award!

Of course you can join in mrsp13, the more the merrier! I'm fairly new myself, but everyone seems a nice bunch on here - very supportive, it's nice to be able to go somewhere where everyone has a common goal. Well done on your 1.5 lb loss! I'm weighing in this morning, feeling very confident...

You look amazing hun! You should be so proud! I take it you've taken up running or something? Wish I looked like you do hun, very inspirational, thank you.

You look great! Well done! x

You look really confident now, well done on a great loss! x

You look great! Any amount of weight is hard to lose, you can tell the difference and you must feel better too, I can't wait to feel lighter, fitter, healthier and happier! x

You look fab hun! x

You look great, a real inspiration! I have a lot of weight to lose too and it's great to see these pics! x

Good week so far this week! Am just making up for last week, am hoping for a fab loss on monday! Summer holidays are upon us now, kids finish school today, so must plan healthy picnins and bbqs and go for lots of walks!

I've maintained. Bit disappointed, but expected after this weekend. At least it wasn't a gain I suppose.

Missed my usual weigh-in this morning, off to the session tonight instead, but dreading it as we went away over the weekend. I wish I could say it was worth it but we went to the coast and it rained all the time!

Uh oh! I'm off away today until monday morning! I'll still be weighing in on monday evening, but I'm soooo wanting to lose at least 3 lbs so I can get my 1 Stone award this week! Must. Focus. On. Slimming. World. Foods....!

Hello! :flirt2: I'm 5' 6" and started out weighing 20st 7 lbs. I would like to lose 10st :o and be 10st 7 lbs max. Started out with Slimming World 3 weeks ago, not doing too bad, the thought of 10st is a little daunting tho and so I have broken it down into chunky chunks! I have a...

I know the feeling of the loose belly lol! It's getting in the way now and I hope that when I do loose a bit more weight it starts to shrink a bit or I'll cry! My joggers always pop under my belly and the thought of running at the moment makes me cringe as I know I would look and feel a bit of a...

Another 2 lbs off and gone for good! Well done everyone on a great week! x

I lost 2 lbs this week, so am now at 19st 10 lbs (with clothes on!) Aiming for at least 3 lbs this next week so I can get my 1 stone award!

Got back from the school run this morning to realise another pair of trousers is looking bad too. :-( I agree about washing the clothes too, one of the tops seems to have shrunk and no longer covers my bum and I seemed to be tugging it down all the way there. I will check out NEXT online, I...

I agree! I did look like a right sack....... Will never shop at Evans again! I'll check out a couple of those other stores, thanks Louise24. x

I pick my toe nails when I'm watching tv, mainly coz I like the feel of them...!?! I also have been know to pick my 9mth old baby's nose when he has a whopper hanging out!!!

I'm finding this week I am feeling so rubbish and bloated. I keep jumping on the scales like a fool and I think I might have even put a pound on! I'm trying to drink more water, but is there any other ideas to try and make weight loss happen when it's that time of the month?

Is it just me or are they really poor quality???!! I bought 3 pairs of linen trousers and a selection of tops in my size (24) about 3 weeks ago to try and feel a bit better about myself, as you do. I've worn one pair once for a special occassion and looking back on photos of the day the...

I've always wanted to wear them too, but they hurt my feet. My sis took the plunge when we were on hols once, yes they rubbed and bled, she put plasters on them and now she has tough toes skin! I've not taken the plunge yet but will probably get some Havianas at some point, unless any others are...

The only time I've seen anyone Spinning is on the Biggest Loser and it freaks me out! I can imagine getting off the bike and falling over!!

Well done Amandas11976, every lb counts and as our leader says, 1 lb a week makes up 4 stone in a year and no-one would say no to that! I've started on the Body Magic this week, I do a fair bit of walking and might as well focus on it and see if I can get fitter.

Well done Moon Gazer! It's such a good feeling and I'm sure you will get your 1/2 stone star next week! I've lost 3.5 lbs this week, got my 1/2 stone award and have now lost 9 lbs in a fortnight. Just want to keep it up, am finding am thinking a lot more about food and shopping lists are being...

Am now officially in this group, I lost 3.5 lbs this week and am now 19st 12. Hoping for a similar weight loss this next week...!

I went to a wedding yesterday and tried to be as good as poss. Am hoping for a loss this week to get my 1/2 stone award, but ideally I'd like to lose more. I've been looking at photos of me at the wedding on FB already and I don't like what I see, I thought I looked ok-ish when I left the house...

I do this too! I weigh myself every morning and don't think I'll be able to stop! I do take it with a pinch of salt though and I do realise I'm not going to lose a pound a day(!) but I would like to think that if it was looking like I was putting weight ON then I would have a really really...

I started last week at 20st 7 and this week I'm 20st 1.5 so a loss of 5.5 lbs! Am hoping to be in the tiny teens by this time next week! I have already set myself a few intermediate goals for the next few stone, otherwise it's so daunting. I have goals that I want to get to for various reasons...

Thank you! Am on a mission now - a new slinky me for next year please lol!

1st week weigh-in for me and I've lost 5.5 lbs !!! Feeling quite happy, on a mission for next week now too, have a lot to lose...aiming for at least my first 1/2 stone sticker next monday!

Well done, you look fantastic! x

It's been very sticky-hot today, hoping that one day soon I won't be sweating all the time just walking back from the shops etc. Looking forward to hopefully next summer being able to wear nice, cool summer clothes!

That's a fab 1st week loss - well done!

Forgot to add that I'm a married mum of 3 kiddies aged 6, 4 and now 8 months! Finally think I'm ready and motivated to shed this horrible weight and have a good friend who I'm going to the meetings with. Hoping for a good 1st week!

Hi, I joined this site a while back but have only just started my Slimming World journey last week! It's my first weigh-in tomorrow! :D Nice to meet you all! :)

Hi, 1st post on this site! I'm trying to eat healthier and exercise more!
