I always try to be optimistic about it but I'm not sure about tonight. Had a dodgy weekend but been good for the rest of the week. so fingers crossed. Good luck everyone else

WOOP WOOP, Well done you!

I'm sometimes the WI lady for our group and I'm amazed at how differently we all carry weight. Some people stand on the scales and I'm thinking their super slim but when I see their weight I'm shocked at how heavy they are and the reverse is also true, others that appear 'overweight' are...

I've been at SW for nearly 18 months now and apart from the odd 'blip' along the way (Christmas/Holidays etc)I've found it pretty easy to fit into everyday life. I'm not quite at target yet ( although it's so close I could scream!)That said I can see it would be oh so easy to slip back into old...

Well done on the loss, hopefully any 'balancing out' won't deprive you of your 6 stone award next week. WOW 6 stone is just so amazing .....Well done you!

Just to add my two pen'orth. I've done WW in the past and, for me, it just didn't cut the mustard. I found SW was much more workable for me others may feel differently and swear by WW, I've a friend who thinks I'm totally mad and she is constantly working out her ww points etc. We have both...

Welcome and good luck

I know what you mean. I do mainly red days and although I'm sure it works for some, it is so ingrained in me now that EE just seems wrong somehow

Glad you had a good hol, and I like your attitude! I managed to gain 8lbs over two weeks and though I still haven't shifted it all yet I wouldn't change a thing! Holidays are for relaxing and enjoying and if an 8lb gain was the price I paid, so be it. you probably haven't gained as much as me...

Awww Schucks I see what you mean! Still you can't un - eat them so put it behind you and move on.

Well done you!

I'm a great believer in a back to basics approach. Write everything down, weigh/measure everything that isn't free, up the fluid intake, vary your foods, introduce some exercise and most importantly don't be too hard on yourself, you've done amazingly well so far, so enjoy that achievement, and...

Welcome back and good luck

Thanks for trying to help frugal fifer and squiddie. It looks as though I'll have to be a bit more active on here if I want to post some piccys, at least I now know it wasn't me being STOOPID!!

Hmmm, I don't get the attachments bit when I go advanced! Any ideas?

Thanks squiddie but I can't see the 'manage attachments' bit anywhere! I know it's probably me being very blonde but could you point me in the right direction please?

This thread is really inspiring so I thought I'd have a go. Ok bear with me! I'm new to all this techie stuff. Hopefully my 'before' will appear below. Right, well if that worked now I've got to do my After pic (well nearly after anyway, not quite at target !) Ooops! Well obviously that didn't...

I love butternut squash, yum yum! Making me feel hungry

I'm no expert but maybe try having a week of reasonably plain, bland food to let it settle down a bit then reintroduce the 'suspect' foods one at a time and see what has the desired or should I say indesired effect!

I'd agree with the above. Any big change to your eating habits, and it seems you've had a few, has to be a shock to the system and the body hits back in a different way for everybody. Some might become constipated and others the opposite but if it doesn't settle down it would be worth mentioning...

Our consultant swears by them, I personally would rather eat the packaging because I think that would probably taste better!!!LOL

Hi all, I'm still faffing about trying to lose my holiday weight gain, but I'll get there ....................... eventually! Anyways, I wondered if anyone saw GMTV this morning (Thursday) Mark the fashion fella was at a school supposedly transforming the mums into yummy mummies. He put one of...

I'm normally more of a lurker than a contributer here, so I hope I've done this all alright, feel free to tell me off if I've not. Well my 'rubbish week' came good! I've continued to struggle to get back into the zone this week and didn't hold out much hope of any significant weightloss (I'm...

I've taken a pill for this before now. Absolutely no hassle. Went to docs and explained. Prescribed these pills (3 a day if I remember correctly) to start taking 3 days before due and just carry on taking until you're back from hols. Had no problems with them, started a 'normal' period a couple...

I so Know how you are feeling!! I've been back for 2 weeks now and I'm still struggling, It's so frustrating but I think perserverance will probably pay off eventually. I managed to gain 8lbs over the 2 weeks away and although I've not got back totally into the swing of things managed to shift...

Does anyone know where you can get these at a reasonable price? The cheapest I've found is £36.00 and I think hubby would choke if he knew I'd paid that much for a pair of, albeit posh, flip flops!

I did Fast Forward last week ( Mon - Thurs) and to be honest I didn't really find it that restrictive, although I'd heard all the horror stories etc. I actually found I was eating more than usual. There is no 'free food' or Healthy Extras etc. and You do have to weigh/ count absoluterly...

Well done on the weight loss and good luck for your surgery, I'm sure it will be finw

I bought these Lloyds Pharmacy - Lloydspharmacy Digital Glass Body Fat Scales (Ihope I've done that right!) last week for £14.99 and I've been very impressed with them. Especially as When I weighed in at group last week I found they gave me an identical reading to SW scales, first time thats...

Thank you all for the welcomes and words of encouragement. I thought I'd let you know that I had lost 3lbs at WI last night which was unbelieveable and, I feel, proof that I've simplt not been eating enough.

Hi all, I'm new here so be gentle! Well done to everyone on their achievements. I joined slimming world in April 2008 and have managed to shift 4st 7.5lbs to date and I'm close to target now (or at least the magic number in my head!) and I've been really struggling with losing lately ( last 6...
