Start: 14st5lbs Week 1 weigh in: 13st8lbs (-11lbs) Week 2 weigh in: 13st3lbs (-5lbs so -16lbs) Week 3 weigh in: 12st13lbs (-4lbs so -20lbs) Week 4 weigh in: 12st10lbs (-3lbs so 23lbs) Hello! I did my weigh in this morning and I’ve lost 3lbs. I’m majorly chuffed about this because it’s...

I’ve just found your diary Mishkapop and wanted to say that you’re doing really well. I also had wobbles over the 600 calorie intake and whether this would cause major issues but so far (I’ve just started wk 4) I’ve experienced nothing but health benefits. As long as you’re feeling well, trust...

Start: 14st5lbs Week 1 weigh in: 13st8lbs (-11lbs) Week 2 weigh in: 13st3lbs (-5lbs so -16lbs) Week 3 weigh in: 12st13lbs (-4lbs so -20lbs) It’s still all going relatively smoothly here. I lost 4lbs this week which I’m pretty pleased with although I suppose this is when the temptation creeps...

I'm also thinking something like 5:2 as a longer term option. Hope you're feeling better after your blowout, GymBunny.

Thank you so much! I'm really pleased with my losses so far. I feel like I'm really in 'the zone' now as I've noticed that I'm not hungry very much and food doesn't seem to matter to me anymore. I'm trying to treat the shakes etc. simply as fuel for my body. I'm slightly worried about how I'll...

Quick weigh in post and then I’ll write properly later on: Start: 14st5lbs Week 1 weigh in: 13st8lbs (-11lbs) Week 2 weigh in: 13st3lbs (-5lbs so -16lbs) I’m really pleased! :)

Thanks so much GymBunny! The first week’s loss has been great and it has meant that I’ve stuck with it 100%. You have done brilliantly and you’re getting close to your goal now. How are you feeling?

The concert went well and I stayed on plan so next contender is the BBQ this weekend! I’ve decided that I really like the Indian dahl pot now. I left it for quite a while so it wasn’t crunchy/powdery and that helped massively. I've decided to do the same thing with the red bean chilli and see...

Welcome! Hope your weigh in is good on Friday! 😊

Thanks Darcy!

Weigh in day arrived and I’m very pleased with it. I’ve lost 11lbs, which is a great start and a massive motivator. Starting weight: 14st 5lbs New weight: 13st 8lbs (-11lbs) I was going to post this morning but Mondays are pretty crazy in my household! I have a couple of challenges to the plan...

Thanks, Darcy! I'm hoping that the scales are kind!

It's the day before my first weigh in and I've survived my first weekend! I've managed to stay 100% on plan despite the birthdays/party and Father's Day today so I'm feeling quite proud of myself! :woohoo: I'm just intrigued to know how much weight I've lost now. My new pack of shakes and bars...

Thank you for the welcomes and good lucks Castingnasturtiums, Darcy and Sarette! It's Day 5 today and I think that I'm more into ketosis as I have that weird sweet taste in my mouth constantly. It's still going well and I've been 100% on plan. I'm feeling quite strong and my mind is on weigh...

Hi all, I thought that I would write a diary of my Exante journey to help me with motivation and accountability. I'm Helen, 40, and I'm no stranger to dieting. Two years ago, I joined Slimming World and lost 5 stone but I've steadily put a lot of it back on. I've clung onto the last 2 stone...

Well, it's my first week on Exante and it's going well (I did SW previously). How long have you been doing Exante? Have you had some good losses?

We’re at a similar starting (current) weight. How has your first week been? Good luck!

Thank you Castingnasturtiums - great ideas! I mixed in a shot of coffee with my coconut shake. It was like an iced coffee and I really enjoyed it! Day 3 for me and it’s going well - I’ve been 100% on TS.

No worries - I had a black coffee this morning and I think that my taste buds are adjusting (this was after almond milk curdled :( ) When is your weigh in day?

I'm sure that it is going to be extremely hard but hopefully the quick weight loss will keep me motivated! I'm hoping that on weigh-in day that I'll be in the 13s. It's a bit annoying that I've seen that weight before fairly recently as I lost 5 stone with SW but then put most of it back on...

Hi Sheslosingit, I'm also a past SW member and I'm starting Exante tomorrow. How have you found your first week? I'm also going to be doing Total Solution. I've got a holiday booked for 8 weeks time and, whilst I know I won't be at my goal weight for then, I want to have broken the back of the...

Hi everyone, Thanks for the welcomes. I'm just finished Day 3 of my first week of SS. So far I've not really suffered side effects except a sweet/weird taste in my mouth so I'm not even sure that I'm in ketosis. I did a ketostick yesterday and it was rosy pink. That's what my consultant said...

Could I join this team please? I'm starting my Cambridge Diet journey tomorrow. I'm feeling excited and keen to get going but a bit apprehensive too. I stepped on the scales at my consultants this eve, weighing 16.4 - ugh! I'm 5'7" and it's the heaviest I've ever been (except when I was...

Thanks to everyone who is reading and commenting on my diary! Sorry I have been a bit remiss this week in terms of updating :D Well, I didn't make SW this week because I had to look after OH BUT I think I have done Club 10. On the night I should have gone I weighed on my scales (from previous...

First of all thanks to Bayside and Pinktiger for your words of encouragement :) Half term is proving to be a disaster! :cry:Well, not entirely as I was having a lovely week off although not really doing so well with my diet as I think I must have drank the equivalent of 60 syns in cocktails on...

I weighed in last night and lost 4lbs which I was chuffed about! :D I got Slimmer of the Week, Slimmer of the Month and my 1 1/2 stone award. It's a good job that I didn't win the raffle because I think the others might have lynched me! :p Helen x

Thanks evethewitch. I'm really hoping I can get the Club 10 award despite this week being a tough week as far as drinking is concerned! :break_diet: I feel like the Club 10 award is something really tangible and the health benefits are good too! Thanks for the support! Hope you are doing ok...

Just got back from my Mum's birthday meal and, of course, my WI! I lost 4 lbs! :woohoo::bliss: I'm chuffed with that! I've said that I wouldn't mind STS next week after meals out/nights out this week but in reality I'd like 2lbs to get my Club 10. Time will tell! Helen xxx Editing because...

Well today is the dreaded WI! I go to a lovely group on the outskirts of my town. I'm sure it has been said before but there are always some real characters at SW meetings and I feel like I could write a book about some of the things they have said. :p I know quite a few people at my group; as...

Thanks Mary! :) xxx

It's true! :) Thanks for the warm welcome and good luck as well (although you look as if you are well on the way ;)) Helen x

Thanks Leapfrog :) You've had fab results haven't you? You must be chuffed. Helen x

Thanks evethewitch for your help with the stickers. I can only get one on at the moment because I don't have full posting priviledges as a newbie. Wow your story is inspirational. While I don't think this will happen to me as there are fertility problems with both me and my husband, you never...

Thanks Bayside! One quick question - How do you get the SW awards in your signature? Helen x

Hi there :sign0144: I'm Helen, I'm 31 and I live in Yorkshire. I've recently rejoined SW after steadily putting back on weight that I'd lost through my own healthy lifestyle regime :cry: In the past (since the age of 16) I've done WW and SW and had a fair bit of success. I've lost a lot of...
