Hello! I have very similar stats to you. I'm. 25 and started Jan 2013 at 11st 7 and got to target at 9st in November via a very scenic route. I am 5ft 2 so a bit shorter but similar. I found that the weight stopped coming off at around 10st and that was one of the main reasons it took me so...

I know what you mean about the jars of sauces. I still love making my own when time allows but sometimes all you want to do us just open a jar and pour it over whatever you're having. I just love how flexible ww is. I even went on a totally unplanned trip to Nandos the other day and was able...

Lost 4lb! Absolutely chuffed to bits as that's the most I've ever lost in a week on any diet. Yay!

I also moved over from sw to ww and am so far really enjoying the change. Sw is a great plan and i managed to keep the almost 2 stone that i lost off for almost 2 years but I was sick of having to think about what day I was on and whether I was getting enough 'superfree'. I also think sw didn't...

Well done you! It's my first weigh in tonight as well. I know I've been 100% but still quite nervous. Fingers crossed for a good loss to get me kick started!

Hello, can anyone tell me how many pp I should be having? I am 23, female, 10stone, 5ft 2 and relatively active (I run at least twice a week). Thank you!

Hi all, sounds like I'm in a pretty similar situation to some of you. I have posted on this thread before but not for a long tome. I reached target of 8st 10 in November 2009 and kept it all off until this summer. I did a 500 mile bike ride from Geneva to Nice and just carried on eating the...

Yaaaaaay! Well done you. It's so nice to see the first number change on the scales, so long as it's down! Xxx

Haha on the booze front that sounds just like me! I've never been a particularly heavy drinker but now it's quite ridiculous on a night out. I'm totally gone after a glass and a half of wine. My friends also think it's v funny, and i don't mind being the source of entertainment on this one as...

Also, maybe you could start a food diary in the food diaries section? I'm sure lots of the lovely people on here would be able to spot any issues (if any) and give guidance and encouragement, even if it just helps to reassure you that you're doing it right!

I'm definitely with you about the skimmed milk thing! My mum started having skimmed milk when she was doing weight watchers about 2 years ago and at first I thought it was absolutely disgusting but slowly got used to it. Now I always have skimmed but my OH always has semi-skimmed. If ever we...

Congratulations Hun! I was also 8 st 12 this morning, obviously a lucky number today! Xxx

Gnocchi bake for me. One of my favourites!

Veg tagine, cous cous and salad.... yum yum!

This is what 1lb of fat looks like, yuk! Congratulations on your loss! x

They're on offer again in Tesco. I bought 6 packs! I have one every day, I'm practically an addict!

I'm in! I weigh every morning and it's really not good. This week I WILL NOT WEIGH AT HOME!! XXX

Best of luck!

Thursday 8th July Can't believe it's the 8th already! I'm off to France for a week on Saturday so starting to get together some SW friendly food to take but seeing as i'm going cycling in the Alps there should be plenty of body magic to keep the weight off! B- Fruit Salad L- Wholemeal pitta...

Again,in no order: Chicken and sausage hot pot Mum's chilli con carne Kellogs Fibre plus bars (FAVOURITE) Mango duck with chilli potato patties SW curry

Hi, sorry just had to post and say hi because I noticed that the number of replies for this thread was 666 lol xxxx

haha i've had this problem before and just wore jeans and a jumper instead of my usual leggings and light top. Was a couple of weeks before a holiday and I didn't want to miss WI but didn't want to have to pay the following week either xxx

I agree- yuk!

Glad you enjoyed your treat!

haha I noticed this! It's so weird and took me ages to work is out as well! Good now though because my mum is a size 5 in shoes and i've always been a 5 1/2 to a 6 but now all her shoes fit me. Don't think she's too impressed though!

Wednesday 7th July B- Fruit Salad L- Leftover turkey hot pot and brown pasta D- Chilli and brown rice S- Fibre plus bar (HEB) Small Dairy Milk (5.5) Tea with milk (HEA) Syns- 5.5 Exercise- Body attack 1 hour cardio- exhausting!!

Thanks for this, will have to invest. I LOVE mallows!!!!

I've lost weight from my cheat, it's very disappointing since i've always had a fairly decent D cup and have now gone to a very small C. Wouldn't change it though, especially as now I can wear the little triangle bikinis comfortably since reaching target! xx

magnum all the way, they really are scrummy!!

Good luck hun, have been lurking and thought i'd say hi xxx

fruit pastille lollies are 3 syns, another favourite of mine!

Best of luck! I have also just got back into exercise after a long time off xxx

Thanks :). I was pretty amazed to be honest, wasn't expecting it at all! Anyway on with the plan today and am back to where I was after my indulgent weekend! Tuesday 5th July B- Fruit Salad and green tea with pomegranate L- Pasta n sauce (tomato, onion & herb) had with water and skimmed milk...

Good for you evil penguin and Cailin! SW really is amazing, we jsut have to keep reminding ourselves of why we are doing it!

Ok so the weekend was a tad of a disaster. Friday and Saturday ate and drank copious amounts as my parents took me out on Friday for a posh 5 course meal and them my boyfriend took me out on Saturday as a treat after my exam results. Was good on Sunday and kept a diary on paper but then today...

Fern- it's so refreshing to hear someone say that about people commenting on how skinny you are. Since losing weight I get it all the time and frankly find it completely rude. I feel like turning around and saying how dare you judge me and criticise me e.g. saying i'm "too skinny" or "surely...

Friday 2nd July Just got my exam results today and got a distinction (YAAAAAAY no idea how!) so think champagne will be on the go later. However, will try to keep counting! B- Fruit salad L- Pasta n Sauce D- S- Small amount ham Fibre plus bar (HEB) FF Activia yogurt

haha posts crossed! Yes I do. Got loads of great recipes for main meals for dinner that I love and eat varied all the time because I cook with my mum but lunches and snacks are a nightmare!

** Note to self ** Must get some variety into my diet! Lunches this week have been a pain because i'm on work experience so variety will be easier there next week but I seem to eat similar things at the same time. Must remember to vary things a bit!

Thursday 1st July B- Fruit Salad L- Ham salad and an apple D- Grilled salmon, roasted veg (butternut squash, sweet potato, peppers, carrots, cherry toms., red onion) and salsa Snacks- Cherries Grapes Fibre Plus Bar (HEB)

Well done! Just goes to show those little extras can make a difference!

In the summer always a huge fresh fruit salad (costs a bloody fortune but so worth it) and in the winter oatso simple with frozen fruit. I still always look forward to me brekkie everyday, yum!

Tuesday 29th June Day 2 of work experience and getting up at 6am is really tiring me out! I'm definitely more of a night owl but still feeling motivated to get back to where I want to be! B- Fruit salad (blueberries, raspberries, apple, strawberries, grapes) L- Cheese salad (42g low fat...

Just thought i'd pop in to join in the confessions from the weekend. I went to Glastonbury this weekend so needless to say alcohol and junk food were eaten in large quantities (although I did discover a new love for chickpea stew!!) Anyway after my shocker of a weekend and to be honest a pretty...

It's good to regularly check the SW list of HE's because things are added and changed or removed all the time. That's how I discovered my favourite of all SW things..... kellogs fibre plus bars!

ha yep I think that this is a pretty common thing. It used to take me ages to decide what to have for lunch on weigh day going round the kitchen deciding what would weigh least! Now i'm at target though I don't bother so much and it's really nice not to dread Wednesdays because I would never...

Well done!! What an achievement xxxx

Monday 28th June First day of work experience and first day of my re-start. Should have said I only do EE since reaching target. B- Fruit Salad (strawberries, apple, raspberries, blueberries, grapes) L- Cheese salad (42g low fat cheddar HEA) and some grapes D- Pork stir-fry S- Small...

Ok. So I reached target in November last year and up until about a month ago had been finding it relatively easy to maintain at a pound or two under my target. Since then I don't know what's happened and I just seem to have totally lost my SW mojo. I only have about 3/4 pounds to get back to...

haha i have to agree with the skinny jeans with boots comment. I was able to do that this winter for the first time in ages AND the jeans were from Topshop which i've always avoided because their sizes in jeans always seem small (i've got big legs in comparison with the rest of my body anyway)...

a bikini was my ultimate dream as well. I hit target in November and this year am off to Florida with OH so will be sporting a different one everyday. Thank god for Primark! xx

I have to agree. The structure of SW classes are really not the best. My C is meant to start "image therapy" (nice phrase for very little substance I think) at 7.30 but usually doesn't until 5-10 minutes later and the class is meant to finish at 8.30 but after we've gone round everyone...

I think that some people put high syns things in there that they bought either by mistake or just had lying around in their cupboard and think of it as an easy way of getting rid of them. Personally I think that this is unfair as the basket is meant to be a reward, not an incentive to sabotage...

YAY!! Went to Tescos today and they had them back in stock! I bought 5 boxes..... this is turning into an obsession lol!

I went for more supplies today to find no more in my Tescos either! Gutted!

I do! Plus its nice to see how your WI clothes get bigger and bigger on you as you lose, another really satisfying way to see your progress!

yep in the purple box :). THey do dark chocolate and almond as well but i'm allergic to nuts so can't try that one!

Go for it! Best of luck on your journey xxx

Go buy these now! Had one today and they are so delicious, a real chocolate fix. So much so that I can't believe that they are a HEB/5.5 syns to be honest but the SW website says otherwise! They are also on offer at Tesco at the moment, I would definitely recommend giving them a try!

There is a really good and free recipe for houmous on the slimming world website. It's really easy to make and tastes yum with veg sticks or on ryvita!

My mum does SW with me and we have both managed somehow to get to target but at the beginning when we were doing red/green days she would ask me repeatedly "what am I today?" It was just too tempting to come up with some sarcastic comment after the millionth time! I quickly recommended that she...

Hi, I started SW in August, also with not too much to lose, and have mainly followed extra easy. I eat pasta all the time and managed to get to goal having lost 1st 4lb by the end of November. Don't worry about it too much. Just make sure you have your 1/3 superfree and the pasta shouldn't...

the mediterranean roast veg soup in the SW free food cook book is easy and absolutely delish- my mum and I have just polished off a HUGE pan full in two days!!

Hi all, I have a very similar issue. I am also 5" 2and began SW at a similar weight to your pre-baby weight. I am now 9st exactly and very happy. I had originally set my goal to 8 st 7 but after getting to 9st and feeling comfortable and happy in myself decided to stick here as, even though...
