Well went to the cinema ate far too many sweets, definitely not going to weigh in now! Just say a photo of myself from last night - realise how far I still have to go! Will power Please return!! Good luck with the bank holiday everyone!

This week has not been good at all, thinking about missing weigh in as I don't want two gains on a row! Going away next week but I am still going to stick to my healthy eating as it is not technically a holiday! Will be walking loads + doing exercise videos to keep on track!

Bad day today ate this chocolate brownie thing today with cream it was gorgeous!!!! Didn't do any exercise either! Tomorrow is another day!!! Hope everyone is doing better than me!! good luck everyone!!!

I always have a treat after weigh-in I have to or I wouldnt stick to plan otherwise! Next week I am planning to go out for dinner!

People generally say that because they are jealous. They know if you lose more weight you will be thinner and probably prettier than them - they are just looking out for themselves! Diet until you feel happy - its for you - not anyone else!

Well done! :D Keep it up!

You look brilliant! Well done! And good luck maintaining!

You look brilliant, well done! :D

Glad to see you are happier! :D On a serious note, remember you don't need a man to make you feel fulfilled and happy! (Well thats what I tell myself lol!)

Well done thats brilliant! Keep it up! :D

Slimming world is far better than weight watchers - you don't feel like you are on a diet whereas with weight watchers you do! Extra Easy is just basic healthy eating! Good luck!

Well I lost 4.5 pounds this week woohoo! Moving the right way!

It is better to eat more protein as protein sends signals to your brain telling you that you are full. Fish is fantastic source of protein! Good luck!

Well even though I had an awful couple of days I decided to go to weigh in anyways and lost 1 pound which I a pleased about! That means I have lost a total of 8 pounds in 3 weeks! On a depressing note I decided to go clothes shopping and NOTHING suited me! I am sick to death of being fat and...

Such a transformation! Well done! How many dress sizes have you lost? Have you been doing exercise As well as following the plan?

This will be my third weigh in since I restarted! I stuck to the plan religiously on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday after weigh in but it all went a bit wrong after! Should I go to weigh in tomorrow or just leave it until the following Monday? I am frightened a gain will mean I lose motivation...

Worst thing for me is when I haven't seen my nanny or my aunty in ages - I either get the "you look like you've lost a bit of weight" means I have met with their approval or silence which means I haven't - wish they would just see me the person not my weight! I also wish I didn't have to...

I would love to know how to make these also :D

Yes you can make risotto! There is a lovely dish in the extra easy cookbook which I have made a few times and it is lovely! Good luck Claire

Thank you - think the most depressing thing is after losing all that weight I am still fat :( I am going to focus more on toning and exercise now - also buy myself a 6 week countdown next class and have a 6 week challenge.

It happens every time I loose weight I get down to 10 stone 13.5 and I seem to want to eat and eat and eat. Looking at myself in the mirror I have loads more weight to loose - but I just cant seem to have the strength to eat properly at the momen! Any ideas guys? Thanks Claire

Lunch - made myself an omelette 3 eggs, 28g of cheddar cheese HEXB, X2 tomatoes and X2 slices of ham - twas lovely! Dinner- having chicken curry - loads of veg added mushrooms, peppers and garden peas - yum yum

Well I lost 3.5 pounds at weigh in this week :D :D I am now 10 stone something! :D I have lost 1 stone 10 pounds so far! only 4 pounds until my initial goal! Woohoo! Chinese and birthday cake tonight - perfect combination!

Sorry did not like my photos being up any longer!

I own one pair of size 12 trousers - but I am definatly still a size 14! Still a size 14 ontop - huge boobs and I am very broad! I would just love to be able to go into a shop and buy something because I like it not because it fits! Went into dorothy perkins yesterday with 8 items none of...

True - everyone kept saying I have a big build and will never be skinny - determined to prove them wrong :D lol Bought a pair of size 12 trousers yesterday - they may be from new look and a big size 12 but they are still a size 12 :D

A person at work informed me that I am not fat, but I am "CHUNKY" what does chunky mean? No-one in my house will tell me the truth - it means fat doesnt it? Thanks Claire

Thank you everyone! New day from tomorrow - new start!

I have totally lost my slimming world motivation - have been really really bad these past few days :( Things arent going well at work - am not happy and I think that I am under performing - so when I am unhappy I eat! Anybody got any tips for me? I have still got a good stone to loose...

I love this stuff - its gorgeous with a baked potato and salad - if you are doing EE - really filling - hope that helps! Claire :)

Do you syn your porridge oats - they are not free, 28g is a HEXB!

Well done thats brilliant news! Keep it up!

Well I put on 0.5 pounds but I am happy with that because I went out twice during the week - am determined to do good this week and loose 2 pounds to get down to my lowest weight yet! I am also goind to start doing exercise again - have really seen a decrease in my energy levels since I stopped...

I am not looking forward to weigh in this week - I have done no exercise and only 2 goodish days - lost my mojo! Back on the wagon tomorrow - just ignore the fact that I am going out on saturday night lol Will update later! Claire

Overweight = ugly I dont want to be/feel ugly anymore!

I am loving eating this everyday for my breakfast! Last night I mixed; 28g of oats mullerlight yogurt, vanilla flavour X2 Tablespoons of 0% greek yogurt Handful of frozen mixed berries It was gorgeous!

Yes you do - so you would be using both your A and B for breakfast - suppose you could use water - but thats disgusting. Lots of other people on the forum have been eating "magic porridge." Mix 28g of porridge oats and a muller light yogurt overnight in the fridge - have it with fruit in...

Baked beans! Problem solved ;)

Went to weigh-in yesterday and lost 4.5 pounds!!! Only one more pound to go until I have shed all my christmas weight! Woohoo!

Think about it this way - alot of people squeeze themselves into clothes that are far too small for them, just to say that they are now a size 12 - in ONE item of clothing! Its better than clothes fit - not what size they say - nothing is more digusting than fat rolls! YUCK!

I tried this last night with a cheery muller light yogurt and 28g of porridge oats - thought it was going to be nicer - was not as creamy as I had anticipated, oats still had some bite to them which was a bit off putting, going to try it warm tomorrow though, see if I prefere it! Claire

I have been doing EE and I am not particularly strict - never knew about the 1/3 rule however I am now beginning to incorporate more veg into each meal! Give it a go if you think about it it is just healthy eating - plain and simple!

I am going to try this tonight - over night oats sounds lovely - easy enough thing to take to work aswell!

I actually found increasing the amount of exercise I did slowed my weight loss - was doing alot of weights - I am sure I was losing inches though - just never measured myself - something that I am going to change this time around.

Well I went to weigh-in and gained 5 pounds - I deserved it though - however enjoyed every minute of it!" Have been relatively good so far today - but I am going to spoil it by having a drink tonight - its new years eve so I think I can get away with it! Having a special New years day dinner...

Once I hit 2 stone lost I am going to buy myself a charm also! Already know which one I want to buy!

If you want to find more inspirational quotes look at the website www.operationbeautiful.com - very inspiring!

Well done! Whats your secret!? I performed the complete opposite and gained 5 pounds - enjoyed every minute of it! Having a drink tomorrow night then back on the bandwagon! Yeehaa! ;)

I missed weigh-in last week because of christmas preparations, I was wondering how much I will have to pay - I want to pay for a 6 week stint also before the price increases! Hope that makes sense Thank you Claire :D

I am proud that I managed to complete my pgce and get a PERMANENT teaching job - which I love. I am also proud that I lost 22 pounds - looking forward to losing the next 6 pounds and getting down to my slimming world goal!

Count me in - really need the motivation to get down to my goal weight!

I am doing nothing as usual! New year always makes me feel depressed! Least I can say I left 2009 a wee bit slimmer!

Still there? I am bored to! Only three more days until I get off for christmas!!! Wooooohooooo!

Well i plucked up the courage to go to weigh-in and I maintained - over the moon because my eating these past two weeks has not been up to much! 30 day shred starts soon - looking forward to it! Well done to everyone on their lossess! Good luck Claire

Christmas only happens once a year - so enjoy it! Get right back on the wagon the next day - enjoy yourself - dont drink too much! ;) Claire

Why are you nervous about your christmas dinner>?

I am also finding it really hard to stay on track, however today I had an okay day - still not perfect but better than others! Bought some new clothes today still a size 14 "sigh" so i know i have a long way to go! Good luck everyone Claire

Very much doubt it - cereals like that are loaded with salt and suger - meaning high in calories!

Forgot I had joined this thread! Would just like to update and say that I have lost 22 pounds! :D

Be honest with yourself... are you really following the plan to the letter? If you are then you should be shifting the weight!

I put on 0.5 pounds last weigh-in so I had a "fcuk this" mentallity and ate whatever I liked on wednesday night and all day thursday. I was good on friday (i think), bad on saturday because I was at a Christmas dinner, wasnt overly pleased with what I ate on sunday! Plan is to be good today...

Sounds interesting! Where are they held around the country?

I had homemade chicken vegetable soup - think its free on extra easy!! Also had mackerel in mustard sauce (1 syn) and two 99% fat free crackers (2syns)! Not too bad! Claire ;)

At weigh-in I put on half a pound - so majorly depressed :( Went home, ate like pig and I also ate like a pig all day thursday :( I am going to be a saint today! Go home, take the dog for a walk and do my exercise video! Have my christmas dinner tomorrow so I am going to be good all day...

I have a twin sister who is a size 10 - would like to be able to fit into some of her clothes one day :D! Had to go shopping in Evans for the first time during the summer - knew something had to be done! At least I know now that I can go into most shops and a size 14 will fit me! Still a long...

Syns are there to be eaten! So eat them! :D

Well I put on half a pound this week - really was not expecting it :( so i am quite disappointed :( Any tips for boosting my weight loss? Claire

I cannot wait for weigh-in tonight because regardless of the result i am going to the continental market in town to eat and drink all the yummy food on offer :D

You look amazing! Hopefully I will look like you in a few months time! Where did you get the dress from its gorgeous!

Good luck with maintaining - make sure you stick to the plan then you can enjoy yourself when you are out partying! You will maintain no problem good luck!

How are all my fellow slimming world Northern Ireland buddies!?? :D I cannot wait until weigh-in tomorrow because afterwards I am going down to the continental market to eat and drink loads of yummy things :D Not that long until my birthday - would really love to get down to two stone lost...

Well done Phil! Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it! Well done again! Claire xoxo

Back on the wagon with a vengance! Remember you are going away on holiday soon, you want to look ten times better than you do now! Thats your motivation! Good luck Claire

Olives - really love them to! Smoked salmon - eat as much of it as I like and its all free - pity smoked mackerel isn't!

In a word DISGUSTING! I bought the chicken fillets - they were really dear, and I had to throw them in the bin - the smell was horrendos! Follow the extra easy plan and you can have REAL chicken! FABULOUS! :D

Well done! Remember slow and steady wins the race :D Good luck xoxo!

Copy and paste them from my signature and add them to your profile! It worked for me!

I only do EE days otherwise I feel like I am on a diet and that I am restricting myself! EE is basically just healthy eating - but that 28g of cheddar cheese as a HEXA is a nice addition to :D I love love love cheese :D

Just had chicken fried rice - i am following extra easy and it was lovely! Proud of myself i have been to plan all day!

Hi everybody! I lost one pound this week! Total of 23 pounds lost only one more pound to go until I have lost 1 stone 10 pounds! *Good luck everyone* Claire

I am going to enjoy Christmas day - however still being sensible, but I am going to eat whatever I want to on boxing day as it is going to be out special family day because my mummy is working on Christmas day! It is going to be the first Christmas in years where I will not have to revise for...

As I am coming nearer to my goal of two pounds I know it will be harder to shift the weight, so each day I am going to write down a mission that I hope to achieve! Missions for Friday 27/11/09 (1) Once home from work complete, "10 minute solution, target toning for beginners" DVD! (2)...

Well I lost one pound this week which i am happy with, still eating, still living, still losing weight - cant complain about that! Only one more pound to go until my mini goal of 1 stone 10 pounds lost! Good luck everyone Claire

I never follow the plan 100%. Last week i was bad wednesday night after weigh-in, thurs & fri & sat night, I was then 100% on track sunday, monday and tuesday and managed to loose 3.5 pounds at weigh-in, however i dont use my syns or all of my healthy extras - so that might be why! This is a...

Thank you :D I am very focused at the moment - set a new goal - hoping to loose 10 pounds before my birthday now! Think i can do it! Good luck with your weight loss Claire

Hey went to weigh-in tonight and lost 3.5 pounds and got my 1 and a half stone award, so i am over the moon - :D only 6 pounds to go until i get to my first goal! Good luck everyone Claire :D

Hey i lost 3.5 pounds this week! Got my 1 and a half stone award, have lost a total of 1 stone 8 pounds - only six pounds to go until i reach my initial goal! yipee! Well done everyone! ;) Good luck Claire

my new rule is going to be the only thing i am allowed to snack on after my dinner is a fruit smoothie (which i know are not on the plan, but i eat them and still loose weight regardless.)

Like you i love melon, i take it to lunch with me most days and have it with 0% fat free greek yogurt! YUM, YUM, YUM!

Do not be annoyed if you sts. At least you are not gaining! Maybe you have lost inches? Maybe this week try something different? Extra easy? Good luck Claire

Its soooo annoying because i love love love smoked mackerel! I have it from the tin instead in tomato sauce -lovely! Or mustard for only 1 syn!

Think of the cost aswell! Great tip is to stick them in the freezer! Lovely and crunchy!

It definatly is :D

I was starving, planned to not have my dinner until my boyfriend comes home at 9.30 pm. So i decided to make myself an omelette as a snack! X2 eggs 28g of cheese HEA Tomato Ham Spray oil and non-stick pan! Totally syn free and yummy!

At least you got your swift response! There is nothing stopping you from having meat if you try extra easy which i have been on since i started slimming world and have lost 18.5 pounds to date! good luck Claire

Well done! Main thing is you got yourself back on the wagon! Good luck Claire

All shops seem to be reducing their stock! Its really depressing!

We should make this are "wee" support thread! Do not give up mistyme, remember slow and steady wins the race! All chuffed with weigh in this week, lost 4.5 pounds! :D:flirt2: Good luck everyone! Claire!

You are only meant to weigh yourself once a week, at roughly the same time and on the same set of scales - no wonder you are getting fluctuations!

I find that I have a sweet tooth at night - an alpen light bar cures it for me! Had two and its one HEXB! Always a healthy alternative!

Good luck for tomorrow!

I just had my lunch and it was gooorgeous! Baked potato (which I roasted using spray oil!), tin of mackerel fillets in a spicy tomato sauce and a side salad! Should tide me over until dinner time, having lamb roast! I am on extra easy btw!

Your daughter is at serious risk of health problems if she doesnt eat any fruit or vegetables! Give her the meals that you eat - tell her she needs to eat them to stay healthy as a bonus she will loose weight!

Hey! I go to a new group in West Belfast! I have lost 14 pounds so far! I had almost lost 21pounds but i went off track but I am back on it with a vengenace! I am really enjoying the plan! Hope to loose 7-10 pounds before my birthday on the 10th of December!

Warning, you always weigh more at night than you do in the morning, so dont be annoyed if your weigh -in is not the result that you expected!

I think limiting yourself to 5 syns per day sounds like a good plan! Good luck!

9 weigh-ins to christmas, you could easily shift 9 - 18 pounds with alot of hard work and dedication! I am hoping to shift 7 pounds between now and then! Good luck Claire

Well I have decided to resurrect my online diary! I started a new class and it is ten times better than my old one, leader is nice and it is much more organised! I have lost over a stone so far, next challenge is to get my one and a half stone award and to up my exercise! I have recently...

Further update! I had an interview for the permanent job on tuesday, found out i got it on wednesday morning! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! To say i am excited is an understatement! I now have a permanent job! Thank you so much to everyone who was so kind to me - things have turned out...

I eat whatever the hell i like after weigh-in - it actually gives you metabolism a boost and is beneficial! Similarly before weigh-in i eat every little - its beneficial to! Don't worry just stay on track and you will be fine!

Thank you very much for all the lovely comments! My internet broke so that is why i am only relying now! Excitment has been replaced by panic - i have so much work to do ahhhh! But i am glad :D Thank you Claire :D:D

Thank you I am so excited :D It is going to be hard work but i am looking forward to it :D

Hey! Update on me! I had an interview late on wednesday and when i was preparing for it i got a phone call from another local school - who my daddy knows the principal of. They asked me did i have any work and would i be interested in subbing - I was thrilled and said no problem! They then asked...

I am losing weight - which i am sure will improve my confidence. When I have lost say a stone I plan to start running which i am sure will help to! Thank you for your suggestion - i will look into it!

Thank you very much for all your replies, I have joined the Substitute teachers register, I should really get my cv sorted and start handing it into the local schools - again no motivation - tbh I don't even know if i want to do this job. I would be extremly shy - people as a result think that I...

I don't really know if there is a point to this thread, but I am feeling majorly depressed and have no motivation to do anything. After four years of slogging it out in uni and hating every minute of it, new school term comes round and I have no prospect of a job (I am a trained maths...

Well done, good luck with maintanence!

Ah right, no smoothies for me from now on *sniff sniff* I looked forward to them every morning :(

Welcome back! Good luck for the weight loss! Claire

I make myself a fruit smoothie, I put strawberries (X10), a banana, a muller light yogurt and a dessert spoon of 0% total greek into a blender results in a beautiful tasting syn free breakfast!

I saw the book last night with my boyfriend, his response i would like to travel back in time to get my 2 hours back lol! I am undecided i thought it was okay, couldnt really see the point of the story tbh!

I hate the word done - always used in the wrong context: 'We done' - its 'we did' or 'we have done' drives me mad ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I will join - i would like to lose two stone by christmas. Hopefully i can do it - been feeling really crap recently - feel my weight is preventing me from living my life - never go out becase i dont have anything to wear - as my sister says i only live once! Hopefully going to achieve it by...

I am finding it very hard to remain "on track" I just love my food to much :( and i am slacking with my exercise. However i am determined to do well these next four days and i will go to slimming world on monday! I will not try to be good i WILL be good! Having a red day today good luck...

Hey! Good luck with the slimming world challenge! I was successful with weight watchers once before - but i am really enjoying slimming world this time round you can eat cheese i love love love cheese! :) Good luck!

Well done phil! you seemed to have really embraced the plan! Just ignore the comment person is obviously jealous! How much are you hoping to loose overall?

I am also finding that i am very windy! You seem to be having alot of green days - why not try a red day see if that helps!

Feta cheese salad brilliant idea, will have to try it! Do you eat Quorn? I tried the chicken fillets thought they were disgusting!
