:D well done! Its such a good target to aim for and its a real bonus when you get there - under 190 club next! hb x

agree with all above - beautiful dress, I say curly too have a fantastic time!

now I'm no Carol Vorderman but from your sig I think you've still lost 2 stone 5 which is AMAZING and really inspirational, this time next week you'll be well on your way

I've swapped to black americanos - hard core coffee no more ginger bread lattes for me. sometimes I do have one but I'm a laydie and need to keep my calcium levels up for the sake of my health.

:asskick: as requested but what I think you actually need is :grouphugg: can you dig out an old week's diary and stick to it? It sounds like you need a treat - what about a massage or a manicure? hb x

I love whats called a long vodka up here- vodka, dash of lime, soda and angustura bitters. mmm also vodka irn bru highly recommended! I quite like it with diet lilt too. maybe I just like vodka!

today at work I had a banana, orange, apple and grapes and thats a quiet fruit day for me...:bananalove::greenapple: just ignore the doubters :)

confession - I'm sitting here reading this thread while eating 14.5 syns worth of caramel shortbread, its soooo good. Trapped at work till 9pm so this passes as dinner, got an apple too somewhere

I've found that I have to exercise to see a difference, I also try and stay away from sugar. I also swear by M&S hold everything in knickers too for when you just need a bit of help :p

I don't wait for half a stone - if I've had a good week I'm straight down the make up counters in boots, you can never have too many lipsticks, nailvarnishes, things that glitter I love the £1 in a jar idea - I'm going to steal that!

hi carol, I have PCOS too, losing weight has really helped but it takes me twice as long as it would without PCOS, I just have to know that 1lb a week is good for me and I know I worked hard to get it. Good luck - you've always got us on here for support. hb x

I've been know just to eat them out of the box!

you can have 28g of any mini weetabix with 1 ryvita wholegrain for a HEB

brilliant - well done

hi eddies mum, nov 20 is only 6 weeks away and while you often get a big loss in the first week back on plan it soon settles down to 1 or 2 pounds a week, I would be worried you would be setting yourself up to be disappointed and might get discouraged, why not go for 10 and anything above that...

Hi, I joined Curves as its local to me, women only and really friendly, 30 minutes 3 times a week, I've noticed a difference in toning up especially around my waist so far. I've always let it tail off in the past but I'm hoping that because its limited to 30 minutes I'll keep it up in the long term

I had a dream that Lucas North from Spooks (the lovely Richard Armitage) joined our Slimming World class because all his funny working hours saving London from terrorists etc was playing havoc with his diet and he didn't have time to go to the gym! I just thought I'd share that with you all...

its hard but its alway better to go even if its just to establish a pattern so that in future you know when your week might not be as good as you hoped you will know its still part of a downwards pattern and you wont get too discouraged.

we were just talking about these sausages in group last night - are they nice?

I think your sig says it all! Dieting is hard, being overweight is hard, choose your hard!

I've always been big, I remember being a size 16 when I was 16 and then an 18 - 20 at uni, got down to a 14 at 1 point on ww but it didn't last long. poor self image, bad relationship with food, big parents, mum always on a diet etc. my c was talking about choice this week and the choices we...

rosina we just posted the same thing at the same time!!!

well done you :)

well done! I sometimes think it goes in 2 week cycles, I can hardly lose after a good week and then see it the following week

p.s. you are also dead right about the man god that is Eric Northman

good luck, I agree with you, I always feel better after I've been no matter how much I drag my feet in getting there :rolleyes:

my previous consultant used to get the class to help out too - its all good body magic!

thats funny my mum was just telling me to buy a slow cooker and I came on here and here you are talking about them! psychic. is the asda one good as I've got a gift voucher for argos I could use to get one also.

hi, I get weighed at 7 so I don't eat before that but I do have normal breakfast and lunch, I try and do the same every week tho. Have to say that I'm usually eating a hi fi bar by 7.01 :p

have you seen the 7 day plan on the sw student bit ? loads of good but not expensive meals using the tesco value stuff but you can swap out supermarket own brands for the equivalent more expensive product, i do that with cereals and stuff.

Hi Nat, I just rejoined too, it must be going round! I always used to do green days so I'm doing EE so it feels like a new plan. Moved house too so all new group, hope it all goes well for you. HB

great post! I am round/embarrased/baggy I will be fit/confident/slinky (I love that word so I'm stealing it!;))

thanks, I'm going for my 1st post move wi on wednesday at partick, I'm not sure I want to know the damage 6 weeks away has done!

Hi All, I've been off the boards for a while as I moved from London to Glasgow and started a new job, I'm looking to rejoin SW up here - anyone local? Thanks H x :character00255:

thats brilliant, you're an inspiration

I eat 2 a day too, no ill effects so far. I have a fruit one for breakfast and a choc one for pudding after dinner. :)

hi, i'm in the same boat put the same 2 pounds on and off for 6 weeks now! My c said to drink loads, put loads of speed foods in and try and exercise, I'm off for a swim tonight so I hope it helps. Good luck!

sorry to derail the wagon when you are all doing so well but I put 2lbs on but it was my birthday so I hope you'll forgive me! Charlottegrace - 7lb to lose total so far 3.5lb :D hobbithead - 7lb to lose total so far - 6lbs lost Meli- 8 lbs to lose by March 18th-total so far 7lbs lost...

I'm having the tomato one for dinner tonight as I'm rushing out - they are a godsend when I'm busy. one of our members was talking about a 1 syn veg chilli ready meal but I can't remember where she got it - any ideas?

ooh ellebear - I'll be thinking that from now on! thanks all! becca - resisting fish and chips should get somesort of will power award

well I did resist :D even when someone actually brought a krispy kreme to my desk - I came out of the SW closet and said I was following the plan and wanted to have a good week and it was surprisingly easy - I thought it would be a big deal and hadn't really told anyone :D

its 2 birthdays in the office today and there is m&s cake (no ordinary cake) and krispy kremes, I'm v full from jacket pot at lunch but everyone is eating cake and my will power is almost non existent...:17729: must resist... someone give me a will power kick up the bum quick - thanks!

its free and v tasty:D

I am, and v jealous of your Signature animation :D

I've started how I mean to go on - activia yogurt and fruit for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch and SW recipe carbonara (which is lovely) for dinner :angeldevil:

thanks guys! I've started how I mean to go on - activia yogurt and fruit for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch and SW recipe carbonara (which is lovely) for dinner :angeldevil:

Hi, I set myself a goal of getting into the lower stone for my birthday in 2 weeks - after a slow start of half on, 1 off I've left myself with 5 to try and lose in 2 wi's. Can it be done or am I setting myself up for failure? HB x

nope! no willpower at all when it comes to multipacks, I left the christmas chocolate in the boot of my car which is parked around the corner cos I knew if it was in the house it would be gone

I do the same thing - at my last 1/2 stone I got myself a revlon eyeshadow quad and a new ruby and millie eyeshadow brush :) can't wait till a stone I'm thinking clinique...

Hi all thanks for the advice - I think it will have to be Boots scales as my parents live in a small village in Scotland where SW hasn't got to yet :) I can't wait to be at home and going for bracing walks by the sea, maybe it'll blow a few pounds off :p

Thanks Claire, good advice! I'll nick my dad's laptop and get chatting

well done! for me it settled down quickly to 1 or 2 a week but we were talking in meeting tonight about not getting too hung up on the numbers and concentrating on how you feel and how you look in your clothes, going down a dress size is a fab feeling :)

Hi Just been to my last monday wi for 3 weeks, with going home for christmas :) and then on the 28th I'm going to see Hairspray :party0048: how to stay on track when I know I won't have to go and be weighed??? HB xxx

i hope you enjoy it, I LOVE mine, although I live in a ground floor flat and one day looked up to see one of my neighbours watching me give it some on the hulahooping :p

well done! :) I'm looking forward to that day

thats amazing - you're a real inspiration!

good luck, the people at my group are ace and we laugh all the time, its a great support

Hi All, I was so pleased when I lost my first stone and got loads of good comments but after I put on 4lbs on holiday I've been stuck losing a 1lb then putting it back on again :break_diet: . I'm determined to have a good week and get back on track - anyone else jumping back on the wagon? My...

I've just offered to take 25 cadets 10 pin bowling :eek: how many calories do you think I'll burn? Must account for the restorative glass of wine when I get home tho :)

hi 10/10, slower than jester tho! :)

hi 10/10 for me with some lucky guessing!

Hi all, I hate,hate,hate cauliflower :D just looking at it gives me the heebie-jeebies:eek:

just 0.5 for me this week Gemma1986 - 3.5lb to go (3.5lbs off) Kymsey - 4lbs to go (3lbs off) Tara40 - 7lbs to go Bethuk1 - 7lbs to go Sarah-Jayne - 4lbs to go (3lb off) Indieflower - 1lb to go (6lbs off) Madhousemum - 7lbs to go heather-bell - 6.5lb to go (0.5 lb off) Clairedebear - 1lb to go...

hi all, well done guys, just half a pound for me this week

I've lost a turkey and half a kitten! I never thought I would type that...:D

;) hi, I'd like to join too - going away in 5 weeks so will keep me on track

thanks guys, need to plan my week better i think

hi all, just got back from wi and I've put on 2.5lbs :cry: gutted. my head's just not been in the right place this week. I did the race for life yesterday but it wasn't enough to rescue the week! h x

:welcome:hi, you sound just like me! I've tried loads of things but SW seems to really have worked for me. When I had a sts week my consultant got me to walk everyday and I lost 3lbs the next week which has really made me enthusiastic again. Good luck and Welcome!

my solution was drastic but oh my god was it worth it - I had a breast reduction in Oct 08 and it was the best thing I ever did :D if that isn't your cup of tea I got antibiotic talc from the chemist which really helped, hope it gets better soon

thats great, i know what you mean about feeling the pain - you earned it :whacky068:

I lost 3lbs, very happy:D, well done to everyone :)

you can't beat a bit of meatloaf!

I'd love that! but live in a small flat in london :-(

Thanks, my flatmate isn't too keen as I've already got the Wii fit, swiss ball, ab max frame littering the living room

does anyone else find a monday w/i keeps them on the straight and narrow over the weekend? the thought of it keeps me out of the biscuits on Sunday! fingers crossed for tonight at 8, I'm hoping for 2lbs

Hi I was thinking of getting a mini trampoline to jog on while using the wii fit - has anyone got one? Are they good and any recommendations? Thanks! HB:scale:

Hi I've just rejoined too, 1st wi on monday. I'm terrible for 'forgetting' to count the wine after the first glass. Good luck!

Hi, I'm new to the board, I stayed the same despite 2 gym visits and lots of walking :( I'm hoping it will show next week.

thats brilliant - I'm doing my first one on the 21st june, walking it tho! ;)
