Hi Sarah, you don’t have that excellent spreadsheet that you used to use? could you attach it in a message at all? Unlike me, you have kept the weight off 😄 Cheers Kev x

Have cooked at least 10 of these and they were all lovely :)

Just realised, @TRISTAR if you don't mind sharing the excel file, you could attach it on a post, cheers Kev

I everyone, not sure if this will work but this spreadsheet really helps to keep you motivated as it shows you where you should be in the future based on the current weight loss. I am uncertain how to use it yet myself as it is early days but if you want to try it then just change all the...

Got weighed Friday 5th and 2 'On Plan' days, what a good idea, 2 dog walks, loads of exercise clearing the loft, not enough water but really want to stick to onplanuary :-)

@Sazmajig Hi Sarah have decided that I am going to try and weigh in/post results for the last 2 weigh ins where you have me down for my hols. Still going away but if I post my results it may keep me on track a little and would love to reach my SW target as well as my own personal target I have...

@Kay003 My last weigh in for December is the 16th before we are off on our family hols, I need 1 more pound to reach my slimming world target and a total of 6.5 to meet my overall challenge target. I have decided that if at all possible I will try and weigh in from sunny Oz, that way it might...

@Kay003 Well, after gaining 2 lbs last week (fully deserved) followed by a Thai meal and a few beers with the family, I eventually got back on track. Loads of jogging, dog walking, healthy eating as well as circuit training (Christ, I sound like a fitness freak, definitely am not) Had a brill 3...

@Sazmajig Hi All, after going out with most of the family for a Thai and a few beers last Saturday, kept on track all week, loads of exercise, loads of healthy food, loads of walks for the pooch, it all paid off. :) Minus 3 lbs for me, thats 1 lb off of target for my final December weigh in...

@Sazmajig I wish I had lost 4.5lbs on my 3rd weigh in but it was actually 0.5 lbs, Cheers :)

Just read your post, couldn't believe how much weight you have lost, so inspirational to others. I'm also 2 lb off of target but went out for a big family get together/celebration and ate like pacman! Still hope to lose the 2 lb on Friday but will wait and see. Well done you, fingers crossed for...

So pleased for you both My last Friday weigh in was minus 0.5 lbs.

I had to laugh, I ate 2 bars during the meeting, 1 in the car on the way home, one with a cup of tea an hour later and just finished the last one off while reading this. :p Counted the sync though.

@Sazmajig Bit of a battle this week to undue damage/over indulgence over the weekend in London (Well worth it :)) Its a half pound off for me please Kay. Good luck everyone. :) Is my last three columns highlighted green for a reason Sarah? Will get to read all the other posts later when I have...

@skinnydawn Mines more of a rollercoaster ride, just on the downward bit now :p:p:p So glad I keep track, with the graph and this brill challenge, helps stop me returning to the bad old days :)

I have seen a few people sharing their weight loss/gain graphs so I thought I would share mine for a laugh. I think its a good way to look back and make sure you don't repeat the same mistakes again!! It is the first time I have actually looked at a graph of the whole year and makes me even more...

Hi, I am sure someone else will be along with advice, bit till then, look at this month, decide which day in the week you are going brave the scales and how much in pounds you want to try and lose this month. For example, my weigh in is Fridays and this month I hope to lose 8 lbs. Good luck...

@Sazmajig Four Friday weigh ins this month, going to go for 8lbs please.

@Kay003 Another minus 2 for me! Dead chuffed. Wanted 3 off but averaging 2 per week will do me

@Sazmajig Another minus 2 for me! That's half a pound off my target but not too bothered as actually lost 3 on my Friday 30th Sept weigh in. See yawlll in the November challenge.

Well done you

@Sazmajig Hi Sarah, my weigh in day is Friday and going to go for it......... 8 LBS please, for me. :woohoo: Good luck everyone.

Not weighing in till Friday, got 2.5 to lose to reach my predicted target.......... will be carrying some of that (literally) into the November Challenge! :)

You're not letting the team down, I was def off track at the weekend , but that's life, together we will all get there. :)

Had a good weekend, especially Saturday :) Need a week of syn free eating and exercise :whacky068: Think I might be dropping down the table (even though it isn't a competition :))

Good luck Sarah, hope doc sorts you out, see you back here soon, I'm sure I will still be here, chasing my target

Just wanted to say a big thank you @Kay003 This spreadsheet really adds to being able to keep on track. I know it's not a competition.....but..... I'm 5th... 5th!!! just off the medal table (if we had a medal table) :woohoo: @Wantrobeslim @skinnydawn @kikaroo @jolycefyre...

@Kay003 1 lb off for me please. Not bad really, as it was my birthday weekend and was on track Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday carrying out damage limitation from the weekend. :) Need to get stuck in now and average at least 2lb a week until Christmas.

@Sazmajig Lost another 1 lb. Not over the moon but considering it was my birthday weekend and I only got stuck into the food optimising from Monday morning onwards, that'll do me, going in the right direction. :)

Hi Everyone, I have been reading everyones posts in this and the October challenge and it gives me such a boost to make sure I am determined to reach my target for the 16th Dec :winner: I just wanted to share some info with SW members who may not use the SW online planner......... it's brill...

I'm back again, really really really going to try and update weekly. Will tart off on a low and see where I go from there. Been off track, off plan and definitely off everything recently but back on track now. The graph shows recent results :-( Intend to post new graph in one month as well as...

@Sazmajig and everyone else. Been away, mainly eating and avoiding logging on here. I have been back on track over the last week and a half but obviously too late to join the July challenge but definitely want to join the August challenge, as you can see, the graph doesn't lie! Just not been...

@Sazmajig Weigh in last Thursday...... Ate really well most of the week, then discovered whisper chocolate biscuits!!! for £1.......... 0.6 lbs 0n

@Sazmajig Not sure what is going to happen this month because I don't think you can class milky porridge, sipping ice cubes and cold yogurts as 'being on plan' Just had my weigh in and lost 6 lbs. Don't feel like a Yay! Will carry on weigh ins as normal and hopefully when I feel much better...

@Sazmajig Hi Sarah, Glad May is over, not my best month! I am away for 2 weekends (both Boozy) but really want to get back on track. At the moment I have been in bed for 3 days with a real bad throat infection and not able to eat (NOT MAN FLU):) So the upside will be a good start for my next...

@Sazmajig 1lb off for me. Cheers.

@Sazmajig Been messing about, pigging out and generally lost a bit of focus, biscuits, puddings, beer and Pizza have all gone, unfortunately, down my gullet last weekend (well worth it :)) Back on track this week... Stayed the Same for me!!!

@Sazmajig Got weighed Fri 13th (1 lb off) Luckily I got weighed before the weekend and drank loads of beer, fish and chips Friday night, all you can eat breakfast Saturday morning (but stuck to bacon with all fat removed, beans and scrambled egg)oh yea, half a huge pepperoni Pizza on sat Night...

@Sazmajig Sorry for not updating, been burying my head in the sand as well as the biscuit tin, must have ben my star week, 3 lb on for me :(:mad:

@Sazmajig Mark me down for another 2.6 lbs off please.

Count me in again, this month I have a boozy weekend away on the 13th where I will eat quite healthily but swill it all down with copious amounts of alcohol...... Plan A is.... Be very healthy with loads of exercise from the 1st and then same again from the 16th onwards... we will see. Target...

And Gents :-)

@Sazmajig Another 3lbs off for me, YAY, def back on track, only another 0.8 lbs to reach my April target, good luck to all you other Friday weighers and everyone else of course, that spread sheet is looking impressive!

Forgot all about my diary, been too busy to even think about it. Will try and update once a week after weigh in, mainly for my records and to record how I felt at the time. Al's going well overall with a few minor speed bumps along the way. This mornings weigh in 14st 3.5 lbs (199.6lbs) Jan 4th...

Just ate 8 cadbury chocolate biscuits after a 7 mile walk, this will be followed by two pints of beer following an hours circuit training, fingers crossed, they will cancel each other out :D Then its back to the healthy eating malarky, good luck everyone for the weekend and following week, this...

@Sazmajig 3.2 off for me, dead chuffed, I like these new scales! Well done to everyone on their losses and if you had a small gain, so what, get back on it! Did you enjoy it?

I'm back on track now, hope its ok to join the April Challenge. Finally got a set of amazing scales, really accurate and links to my Happy Scale and Fitbit. They are pricey but for fellow serial weighers that get weighed every morning, they are ideal and you can get them for approx £50 from...

@Sazmajig Hi Sarah, March went a bit pear shaped as I had no scales (poor excuse) I weigh in on Friday mornings and stayed the same for April 1st and April 8th. Would like to go for 7lbs for the next 3 weigh ins if thats ok. Got new scales that are reading about a stone and a half over!! Thing...

@swansong1a Thanks for the reply, was undecided wether to go for the Fitbit Aria or the Withings WS30, settled for the WS 30 purely because I got them brand new and half price off of eBay. Now set up and linked with my fitbit, a bonus was that it also automatically linked with my weight...

@Sazmajig Sorry for the delay, had no scales, got them on order, should be back on track as soon as poss.

Still not sorted one out yet, but Salter looking good, if Siri spoke to me, am sure it would say "No rush, only one at a time please" :)

Hi Everyone. Not expecting a lot of replies.... but... What scales do you use? Would love an accurate set that links to my phone but if not, just an accurate set would be fine by me. Any ideas?????? Kev :)

@Sazmajig Its a 1.5 loss for me for the 31st March please.

Yesterday was amazing, Leg of lamb dinner (ten of us) with every trimming you could shake a stick at. I was yet again like a fiddler crab scooping anything and everything in my path. I especially enjoyed the trifle to finish off and the two small mini eggs! This day was planned ages ago and I...

@Sazmajig Will weigh in on the 31st to see if I hit target. Then normal weigh in 1st April if ok.

No weigh in this week as not in work and no scales at home :) Double weigh in next Friday, still on track for my March target, good luck everyone. Especially over this Easter Weekend! :rolleyes:

Not got weighed this week as not at work and no sales at home (that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!!) However, double weigh in next Friday which could be a good or bad thing? Still aiming for my March Challenge of 8lbs off, we will see :)

@Lucylu79 'Oh why oh why do I do it!!!!!!.............. because we are human, Lucylu, my school had an Easter Fair on Saturday that I didn't attend but on Monday morning the table was covered in boxes of every kind of homemade cake you could shake a stick at and I was determined not to go near...

Decided to get the measuring tape out after 2 stone gone, dissapearing slowly but getting bigger in the middle!

Decided to get the tape measure out after 2 stone gone. Going to measure again after 3 stone. Seem to be getting bigger in the middle!!

Well, that exercising paid off, lost another 3.2lbs, that's over 2 stone gone so getting tape measure out to see how many inches have gone!

@Sazmajig 3.2lbs off for me

Bloody scales! got on, 2.8lbs off, got on again 1.2lbs off, got on again 2.0lbs off!! Fingers crossed for the morning, Settee Monday night, circuit training/badminton Tuesday, jogging Wednesday, jogging Thursday, if I don't lose, all the toys will be thrown out of the pram...

Could be setting myself up for a fall? Got on the scales this morning and they showed a loss of 2.6 lbs. I know they can lie but looking good for the Friday weigh in. I'll try and keep off beer and cake! Good look to everyone else.

@j0j01978 Going to go for it and I reckon at least 1.6lbs to get to 2 stone off but target has got to be 4lbs!

Peed off.... bloody weekend beer, nibbles and cakes!!!! Managed to stay the same so definitely getting on it this week and going to plan for the whole week on Sunday. Keeping my target at 9lbs. @Sazmajig STS

Was dreading my weigh in as beer, nibbles and the odd cake were partaken over the weekend and I reckoned that I was 2.5 lbs up on Monday. Ended up staying the same so had a bit of a let off, back to planning for the week this week and sticking to the exercise.

@Sazmajig My target for March is 9lbs please.

Forgot to update my diary for a while but things generally, going ok. Managed to lose another 2.3 lbs on Friday 4th March. Another 1.6lbs to go and that will be 2 stone gone. That's the good bit..... today, as everyone knows, was Mothers Day, all 4 kids returned home along with sister in law and...

@Sazmajig Best put it down for March as I will be getting weighed 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th, thanks a lot. :-)

@Sazmajig Another 2.2lbs off for me! Yay! :) Sign me up for March please, I'll go for 8lbs again. Well done everyone, just spent half an hour on here reading all the inspirational posts, Beau (Border Collie) not happy. Good luck everyone for March. :) Best walk the pooch (Can you tell I found...

Panicked for no reason, lost another 2.2lbs, dead chuffed again. Another 1.6lbs to my two stone off then before and after pics and measurements to help me not go back to the bad old ways. MiniMins helps so much to keep me on track, love reading your inspiring stories, keep it up :-)

Friday Morning weigh in.............. These lyrics suit perfectly 'I feel there's trouble ahead' Good luck for tomorrow everyone, hope you feel more optimistic than I do at the moment. STS or half off and I would have somehow escaped we shall see

Got weighed this morning, had no idea how I would do as had a mixture of cakes and long walks with the pooch. Obviously, the exercise wiped out the cake!! Yippeee, another (@Sazmajig ) 3lbs off!!

My exercising must have ruled out the cakes!!! Another 3lbs off, dead chuffed, having a beer tonight while watching the rugby. Possibly more beers to follow during the England match on Saturday. Good luck to everyone else :-)

Well done everyone. My exercise must have cancelled out all that lovely cake! Another 3lbs off! :)

Not feeling confident about tomorrows weigh in, we will see. Had a combination of plenty of exercise and cake!! :-)

Oh Dear, Funerals, Christenings and weddings are not a 'keep on plan' type of places! 4 x half Tuna roll, 2 x half ham roll, 2 pieces of quiche, small mini scotch egg x 2, One piece of cheesecake, One piece of chocolate cake, 1 pint of strongbow dark fruit, 1 pint of lager shandy.:( Five mile...

Just blowing my own trumpet for a second or two :woohoo: Couldn't find a trumpet smiley. Have managed to go away in the camper for four days, loads of walking, some beer, some delicious cakes and lost another 1.6lbs!! For the first time in possibly 5 years, I am actually under the 15 stone...

@Munchkin_Em Recipe for SW Scotch Eggs anyone!!! Read about scotch eggs and wanted to use my body magic to run down the shops!!! @Longtermbridesmaid Every journey starts with a first step, good luck, there is tons of help and ideas on here :-)

@Sazmajig Another 1.6 lbs off for your spreadsheet, maybe I still have chance to reach my Feb target? My daughter likes everything to be in place and in order, if anyone mentions it she says 'oh yea, I'm a bit AC DC :-) Good luck everyone else for your weigh ins (just for your AC DC, Sarah, its...

@Sazmajig Hi Sarah, will weigh in tomorrow for the 21st spreadsheet then again on Friday. :-)

Not sure if I need to draw a third red line to go with the previous two, posted? Done loads of walking balanced against tea, lemon drizzle cake and carrot cake! I weigh in on a Friday but missed this Friday so intend to weigh in tomorrow and then again on Friday. Fingers crossed, not a clue what...

Not got weighed as not been near any sort of weighing implement. Last few days overall went really well, walked over ten miles each day but on the down side, also had a huge wedge of cake with our cuppa char, each day!! Fingers crossed for next weigh in.

@Neveragain the 2x eggs, cottage cheese in, chop up peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, pan fry bacon, sweetcorn, season with pepper and herbs sounds just the job, can you tell me where you get the microwave pan from?

@mousey Hi Mousey, why not spend a bit of time and just say a quick hello to 50 members and as well as meeting new people, you get your Avatar as well :-)

@Neveragain Any chance of sticking the link on here, my wife would love to give it a go, myself, I don't want hip hop abs, just a couple would be nice :-)

Welcome Karris. There is tons of advice on here, I love the SW food diaries and am always nicking ideas plus, if you have the time, there are loads of inspirational journeys on here that prove there is life after food (still not convinced, myself) Good Luck :-)

Hi Everyone, Kev here. I have been making do with getting weighed at work but we really need a good set of scales. Ideally we need a set that you can programme for two people or more because my wife gets weighed in stones and pounds but I prefer pounds only. Have also seen scales where the...

Losses, small ones!!! Would be doing double back flips at 4lb off :-) Well Done

Hi Sarah, I lost 2.3 lbs on Friday 12th so could that go into the 14th date on the spreadsheet? Think my 8 target loss was a bit ambitious but away from Wednesday till Saturday hopefully doing lots dog walking and cycling, so you never know! :-) Some good losses already on the spreadsheet so...

Back from Sat/Sun in Derbyshire. Me and my better half must have walked about 10 miles up and down dale, which was a good thing as I had Steak and kidney pie, mashed tata and veggies. (was scrummy) Not weighing in this week as off on jolly hols, Norfolk way in our camper. So loads of...

@Sazmajig Hi Sarah, am I too late to join? Am feeling positive at the moment but that (as we all know) can change pretty quickly :character00254: Quite happy to start next month as well Cheers :-)

@Neveragain Glad to here you have dragged yourself out of the ditch, trudged back across the field and got back on the rails :-) Stone and a half gone! Well done you. Keep it up :-)

I'm a Primary School teacher myself (year 4) You are right, when you are tired you just don't feel like preparing stuff. Get the SW soups book and you can make gallons of the stuff on the weekend and freeze loads in containers/bags There are loads of really tasty ones. Good luck :-)

Hi Redmel, I reckon most of us on here have been here before :-) My targets are similar to yourself, my top tip that seems to be working for me at the moment is plan ahead, if you know what you are eating there is less chance of opening the fridge and attempting to empty it! :-) At the moment I...

Made me laarrfff :-)

Good walk, piss wet through ;) Breakfast Grilled tomatoes, bacon, quarn sausage and baked beans Lunch TBD

Ignore me, sorted it.

Feel brill, cheers Mary, been walking and def back on track, a good pig out every few weeks seems the way to go as long as not too excessive :) Another 4.2 lbs to go until I have my Club 10, if I was going to a club! Will have to award it to myself :-)

Hi All I have found the thread where the SW sticker are but do U have to physically upload them again for them to appear in my signature? Cheers.

Just pigged out, first time since I started on this healthy eating malarkey. Enjoyed it all. 2 SW beef burgers, 2 large cobs, homemade coleslaw, loads of cheese. Chocolate cheesecake, two big bits plus two beers. Was a planned pig out so don't actually feel bad at all, back on track as of...

Another 2.6 gone. Yay :-)

Lost another 2.6 lbs. Dead chuffed, I knew I would slow down a bit but happy as long as the weight keeps heading in the right direction, well done sexy shell and Jo, keep it up :)

Hi All, just found this Friday weigh ins thread. I weighed a whopping 232 lbs on 2nd Jan and with the help of my lovely wife and all 4 kids preaching about BMI and high blood pressure and having a healthier lifestyle, I'm on a mission. Lost about 16 lbs so far with tomorrow's weigh in looming...

Well, a good pre weigh in day today. Breakfast - Porridge, blueberries and grapes (for a change) Thought about swapping to fruit and yogurt but loving the porridge at the moment. Lunch - Jerk Chicken and assorted roasted veggies (From yesterday's dinner) Dinner - Salmon, Mashed potatoes...

This week seems on track, stuck to the healthy eating. Monday Breakfast, Fruit and Yogurt Lunch Salmon Salad, Yogurt, 2 plums, 1 Apple Dinner SW Lamb Curry and Rice, 1 Yogurt (half an hour on the cycle) Tuesday Breakfast, Porridge, Grapes and Blueberries Lunch Apple, Banana, 2 Satsumas, 1...

Not had chance to look at Britmums site yet but planned food for the week so maybe will have a look for week after.

This weekend going really well so far, thanks to 'Beau' our bundle of energy dog, I have managed to walk approx 10 miles and was temporarily in top position on our family FitBit challenge, too knackered to walk more, will be happy with 2nd or 3rd out of 6. Yesterday - Breakfast, Smoked Salmon...

Been reading all the achievements on her, well done everyone. Not downloaded to couch to 5K, got a 5 yer old Border Collie who is full of beans and she is doing a fine job of getting me off my arse. I seem to be sticking to this Slimming World malarky mainly because my lovely wife, who goes to...

Hi Priomhoide Just been looking t the inspirational weight loss of ClaryCakes (wow, super effort) Hope you don't mind me suggesting something. I noticed that there are quite big jumps from your goal to goal, I reckon (it seems to be working for me) that you need to split each goal into ten steps...

Been a bit to busy to update so here goes...... Last weigh in (Fri morning) lost another 4.2 lbs!!! grand total since starting 16.4 lbs!!!! They should have a 'Blow your own trumpet' thread :-)

At the moment SW from home seems to work for me. At work we have a 'Chubb Club' that gets weighed every Friday morning. Eight of us put a pound in each and the biggest loser that week takes half of the pot. The other half of the pot stays put until the end of the school term and the biggest %...

Bit of a wobbly day after the weekend. Breakfast - Nothing (Set off and forgot my porridge and fruit!) Lunch - SW Quiche, Ham and Salad About 5.00pm 1 Sainsbury's Jam and Custard Donut!!! (Probably 20 syns plus?????) Everything was fine, not even hungry, on the computer sat with a few...

Ten to six in a morning! Dog looking at me, waiting to be taken out, thought about a walk/jog but def starting with a brisk walk only. Had a good weekend with a decent walk on the Saturday then went to York to see one of our daughters and managed to walk around York and actually resisted...

Cheers Mary, trying the Patties out on Friday

Couldn't sleep, been watching Match of the Day as well as looking at all the inspirational posts and Diary entries of you lot. The food choices out there are amazing (I feel hungry) :-) I have split my weight loss target into mini targets which I thought was a good idea. My next mini target is...

Hi Judith, don't be a 'Negative Nora' as you put it. The reason most of us are on here is simply that we know exactly what we should be eating but the 'other stuff' tastes sooo good.:-) There are so many inspirational stories on here, you can do it too. If I succeed in getting to my target (I...

Hi Everyone, I reckon the ideal combination is going to group (if you find a good one) plus the support on here. However, my wife goes to SW on Friday mornings so I am a do it at home hubby who is really enjoying it. My recommendation for books has got to be the Homemade soups book (Pea and Ham...

Just found another unflattering photo for my 'before' section. I just don't want to be this person anymore. 12.2 lb gone, just over 30 to go (There is now a worse one on my fridge :-) )

Well done on the weight loss.:) Wish turbo roller is the best cheapest one. I would love to get on my bike but the weather hasn't been great so was looking at the rollers last weekend but didn't know which one to go for. Sorry Mary, not a clue, the one I have is called a CycleOps and I...

Not a bad day. Seven and a half mile walk with wife and sister in law, our dog is on doggie holiday with my daughter so only one collie, Belle. Breakfast (ready for a change) Porridge and blueberries Lunch Ham salad, two slices of bread Dinner - SW Lamb curry and rice. ( This week, plan to walk...

Another 4.6lb gone...... Yay!!!!! Dear fellow Herd members ( I am the old grumpy bull, stood in the corner on his own) All will become clear. I read something in this month SW magazine which I thought was funny and it wasn't supposed to be. One of the ladies who had lost loads and it was hard...

Not a bad day, been weighing myself every morning but this morning I went in the little room at work where we have our Friday morning weigh in's and the scales wouldn't work, so i gave it a bit of a shake and the battery fell out! Shoved it back in and made a hasty retreat. So....... hopefully...

My intended target shirt has, I think, been chucked!(Thank god really, it was/is several sizes too small, if I find it, will stick it on) Here are my next 3!! (Taking photos again when half way to target weight) Target Shirt 3 by Kev* posted 20 January 2016 at 9:20 PMTarget Shirt 2 by Kev*...

Not sure if I just keep adding info in the comments section? But here goes. Yet another busy but good day. Breakfast - Porridge and Blueberries Lunch - SW quiche, tons of salad, a yogurt and a banana Dinner - Salmon, syn free dressing, carrots, asparagus, baby corn on the cob and 4 small new...

Cheers Mary, about killed me, just not used to it.

Well. today was a good day..... so far. Breakfast Porridge and Fruit Lunch SW Quiche (0 sins) and salad plus a Muller light yogurt and a satsuma Dinner Was going to be salmon and veggies with a SW sauce but got to pick the daughter up from the railway station at about 9 and could;t wait...

Well, our home scales weighed about 4lb lighter than they should have, that pissed me right off!(sorry) Had a really good start to the week, walked every night with Beau (the pooch) and went circuit training on Tuesday and Friday (still half kills me every time) haven't got the hang of...

Hello Everyone I have started posting to my own blog but I am unsure yet if I can link to it, so I thought I would stick a few snippets here. (Just realised that I can link to it in my signature if anyone wants to have a nosey) It is now time to try and get fit and go somewhere where I haven't...

Cheers Moon gazer, do I just pick a name for my diary and start a new thread? Well done on your first 2 weeks.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say a quick hello and let you all know my plans so you lot of lovely people can help. Here goes.... I have just started following the Slimming World healthy eating plan (hate the word DIET) I plan to create my own weekly diary on here with weekly updates, a few...

What a faff..... here is my graph, hopefully? IMG_2697 by Kev* posted 17 January 2016 at 7:38 AM

Hi Sam/Samantha I am following the plan and supporting my wife, she goes to SW on a Friday morning and I get weighed at work at the same time. I had forgotten how much you can eat and how much better we eat when sticking to it. I made my family laugh recently with the graph below, it is my...

Hi everyone, just thought I would say a quick Hello. I can't remember the last time I was on her but its like walking into a new house, everything has changed, much more modern, love it. Not got time to have a look round the site at the moment (off walking with the dog and my fitbit... hark at...

Hi ladies and gents, I havn't been on here or to my slimming world club for about 6 weeks, no excuses really, just lost track. Got a wedding coming up soon then back on track. Been working on a new website to help my wife raise funds for Breast, Cervical and Ovarian cancers, please take a look...

Yay, back on track, 6lb off, it was like going back to my first week, trick is, now sticking to it. Got two more weigh ins then off to France for a fortnight. A mixture of cycling, walking, swimming and Kayaking, combined with cuisants, wine, beer, bbq's and meals out :D The plan is to really...

I've got that same little green light, I need to disable it somehow, as when its on I can see the bourbon biscuits in the cupboard (for the kids:cry:) Can't walk far at the moment because of a knee op but just done a few miles on the pushbike with the sister-in-laws dog so fingers crossed...

Not given up, but - - - - - - - Gone off track, down the hill and on the slippery slope to fatsdom (if such a place excists?) Been in hospital having a knee op, combined the resting of the knee on the settee with crisps, chocolate, icecream and other junk stuff. End result, gained 10lb over...

Had to miss this weeks weigh in, was away with the family for a 60th Wedding Anniversary. Had a very posh 'high tea' which was mainly sandwiches with the crusts cut off and three, two tiered cake stands full of cakes, you can probably guess at what happened next, it wasn't pretty! But it was...

Ooops! Bit of a blip in the weight loss front. Not surprising really, even though I have been very busy, only made it to the gym once and have been missing breakfast and then grabbing a sandwich as and when I can. Going to revert back to actually using my syns and thinking about what I am eating...

Weigh in time yet again, didn't have a clue what to expect as have eaten as and when I feel because I have been really busy DIY-ing instead of thinking ahead and planning meals. Began to panic for the last three days before weigh in so did a lot of gym work as well as gardening. It paid off :)...

Well, here we go again, just got weighed and have lost another two and a half pounds :) I feel so much better even though I still have a long way to go, just can't wait until I get to my ideal weight as I can't imagine how I will feel as I haven't been there for years. Its only been 5 weeks...

Just had a brill breakfast, two wholemeal toast, bacon, beans, tomatoes, 2 poached eggs and a smidgin of brown sauce. All washed down with a cuppa. Sorry, supposed to just be adding my weight on here but just had to share my lovely breakfast with someone. Ok, got weighed on Thursday night, knew...

Well, second week out of the way, wasn't able to get weighed on my normal Thursday night but called into a local club on Friday morning. Lost another two and a half pounds so that's a grand total of ten pounds in two weeks. :D Not able to make the gym all next week as I am away from home but...

Well done Louise, 8lb in two weeks, keep it up. I can't make my slimming group this Thursday but there is one close by that is open Friday morning so will go there. I can't believe the variety of food I am now eating and same as you, not hungry at all. Just got to now keep visualising the new me :D

Hi Everyone, been reading all the slimming world posts to gain inspiration and also look at recipes and food diarys. I actually lost 7 and a half pounds on my first week, last week by sticking to the plan, eating loads and going to the gym. I would be happy at 1,2 or 3 pounds a week as have a...

Hi everyone, have read some of your inspirational accounts so decided to join in and intend to post once per week straight after weekly weigh in. I managed to lose seven and a half pounds in my first week by simply sticking to the plan and going to the gym. Hope to lose at least 2lb per week in...

Hi Everyone, had been messing about previously with slim fast and even thinking of doing lighter life but have finally joined slimming world. First weigh in, lost 7 and a half pounds, well chuffed. Stuck to the healthy eating all week, lived in the gym and not been hungry once, not sure how this...

Hi, as you can see, my names Kev, live in Nottinghamshire but at the moment my wife, Alison lives in Cockermouth in Cumbria (long story) so we are together at the weekends :D Aged 47 with 4 kids, 24,22,18 and 15 no pets, enough on with the kids.

Well, just got weighed and have gained 5 lbs over the past 5 weeks, not good. Then again, on a positive note, I have been away from home, moving house and caught up in the floods in Cockermouth so my routine has been upside down. Intend to get back in the gym from today and get back on track...

All the family were there so she had a fixed smile which I knew to mean "I will get you later for this" Thing is, all day everyone was singing and humming it, its so catchy. :D

Hope I haven't offended anyone? No comments at all :D I actually bought the song for my twin sister years ago as part of a Christmas pressie.

I came across this song a few years ago, it was released one Christmas and I was convinced it was going to be the new Christmas No 1, alas, it sank without trace, until now. It was just made to appear on here. :D It's so catchy, it will be in your head for weeks. Come back on here and tell me...

Tried loads of clothes on that I have saved because I fully intended to get back in them (the pile is big) Its surprising how the weight creeps on. There is probably a gap of over 6 years and at least 3 stone between me and me. Want to move towards the chap in the blue.

Welcome Davieee, your quote above struck a note with me, think is, you are doing it for the right reasons. At the moment I am on two slimfast drinks a day and a meal at night plus I go to the gym or go spinning most nights and it seems to be working for me. The very best of luck and once you...

I was always led to believe that your metabolism is like a slumbering coal fire (can you imagine it?) when your asleep. When you feed it, ie eat food, it roars up and jumps into life, if you don't have any breakfast it just keeps slumbering. I am probably talking a load of twaddle but I like the...

Thought about adding a photo in the clothes I used to be able to get in, could be quite a laugh. If I started the ball rolling, who would follow? :) On a positive note, pictures could be added every month wearing the same clothes, good idea or not??

Have dug out some Beige chino type jeans and a fitted shirt that used to fit me and I wore on honemoon. Tried them both on for the first time tonight (what a laugh) Will try them on fortnightly, see how it goes.:o Have started a Seinfeldian Chain! Good luck jenpen and everyone else

I find this all very interesting. My LL medical form has been filled in but not taken the plunge as yet.

Well done Clare, keep up the good work, I have just been to the gym and always like to have a quick look on here just to see how people are doing. helps keep me motivated.

You cannot fail to smile at this one :o Two men are sat in a bar and both have black eyes. One says to the other "what happened to you?" The man replies, it was a fraudulent slip, there was this girl with big boobs at the train ticket booth and I should have said one ticket to Ipswich and I...

Hi, if middle aged is 47 then that's me, good luck with the LL. (Just browsing the posts for inspiration, just about to start the Lighterlife programme, end of month.)

Hi Anna, nice to read about someone so motivated, bit worried about all the returners and how to keep the weight off once i get there but I suppose I had better actually start it first before doing the worrying. (Just browsing the posts for inspiration, just about to start the Lighterlife...
