My short term goals are to: Get my stone award back - 2.5lb Get back to my previous lowest weight - 8.5lb Get my stone and a half award - 9.5lb Get my Club 10 - 11.5lb That lot should keep me going for a while :)

I've just rejoined group so now have my start weight, could I join please? I'm going to go for 32lb to get me to 13 stone, maybe a bit ambitious but will stop me getting complacent!

Day 11 Honk!

Difficult day today but stayed on plan, feel like I ate quite a lot though. Breakfast - Weetabix (HEB), milk (HEA) and banana Breakfast 2! - Bacon medallions, fried eggs (1 Syn) and grilled tomato Lunch - Tuna, sweetcorn, salad Snack - Banana, Total 0% yoghurt Dinner - Chicken wrapped in bacon...

Day 10 Honk :)

Day 10 survived, with Syns to maximum capacity - Saturday is my study day and has traditionally been my binge day also (I am in the house all day studying and fiance is working), but I have stayed on plan today so very proud of myself :) Also survived the neighbour's 12th night party without...

Day 9 Honk!

Stayed on plan, by the skin of my teeth - had to put my willpower up to maximum to avoid the chocolates in the office. I'm definitely an emotional overeater and work is causing a lot of stress at the moment. Struggled a bit with superfree though. Breakfast - Apple and Oatso Simple porridge...

Thank you harryhorror, struggling a little mentally today - went back to work yesterday and the stress is already getting to me :( I stayed on plan food-wise but didn't make it to the gym. Breakfast - 2 x Alpen Lights (bit rubbish I know, I was rushing as I got up far too late) Lunch - salad...

Day 8 Honk!

Day 7 honk!

Thank you Erica - good luck with your start tomorrow, do let me know how you get on :) Today's food has been: Breakfast - Banana and Total 0% Greek Yoghurt; 2 x Alpen Lights (HEB) Lunch - Salad with tuna and Babybels (HEA) Snack - Banana and Total 0% Greek Yoghurt Dinner - Slow-cooked beef...

Day 6: Midnight! - Glass of champagne (6 Syns) Breakfast - Boiled egg with Finn Crisp (1 Syn); Fruit salad Lunch - Tuna; Salad; Babybels (HEA); Alpen Lights (HEB) Dinner - Stir-fry with turkey, onion, ginger, red and yellow pepper, carrot, noodles and soy sauce; Bag of mini Maryland cookies...

I think I managed yesterday OK. Breakfast at the bed and breakfast was grilled bacon (fat removed), 1 fried egg (1/2 Syn), tomatoes, baked beans, 2 small slices wholemeal toast (HEB) and butter (4 Syns). Not enough superfree but other than that OK. Lunch was chicken, Babybels (HEA) and mixed...

Yesterday and today are a bit more tricky as we are traveling from Scotland to Birmingham, trying to make good choices though. Yesterday's food: Breakfast - 2 bacon medallions, grilled; cherry tomatoes; 2 fried eggs (1 Syn) Lunch - meal out - mixed salad (no dressing) with roasted smoked...

Another good day so far :) Breakfast: 3 x bacon medallions (grilled), cherry tomatoes and fried egg (1/2 Syn), followed by 2 Alpen Lights (HEB). Lunch: Leftover roast pork (1 slice, fat removed), 2 Babybels (HEA), boiled egg, cherry tomatoes and salad leaves. Snacks: Alpen Light (3 Syns)...

Thanks for the replies, finished my day as planned with 10 Syns of Hotel Chocolat's finest! Yum yum :)

Honk! First time in a long time :)

I would like to join - I'm restarting the plan today but won't be rejoining group until the 7th January. My goal is to get to 12 stone but I won't know the actual amount I need to lose until then. This challenge is ideal for me as my last weigh in before my wedding will be on the 25th March!

After spending the last 6 months messing around, it's time to get serious - my wedding is on 06/04/13 (exactly 100 days away) and I want to be as close to my initial target of 12 stone as I can manage, aiming to be a size 12/14 dress size (currently 16/18). I'm not sure what my current weight...

Honk for past 3 days - haven't managed that for about 3 months! 15 Syns on Tuesday, 8 yesterday and 13.5 today.

Honk :)

I've given up my debit card so just a limited amount of cash to spend - which should also eliminate any naughty treats I might want as I won't be able to buy them!!

Hi - does anyone else suffer from shin splints? I tried running a couple of years ago using the Couch to 5K programme and had to give up after a couple of weeks as I was in so much pain. I put it down to running in old trainers on concrete surface and decided to ditch running for a while. In...

Hi all, sorry I've not been updating, have kind of wandered away from the diet for a while due to work stress and general lack of willpower! I've decided to leave slimfast for a while and stick to a low calorie diet with a lot of rice and vegetables, partly because of cost and partly because I...

That's what I'm doing chocolatecat - I've taken out £200 cash (£5 a day for 40 days) and handed my debit card to my housemate to hide in a safe place!! So I've got enough to live off but no naughty extras...

I'm using the Couch to 5k app on my iPhone, but you can also just get the details online, can't remember the website but try googling 'Couch to 5k' - it's supposed to get you from nothing to running 5k in 9 weeks... I'm only in week 1 though so let's see if it works!

2011bride - we are almost identical... 24 - 5'3" - 206lb (down from 209)

14st 10lbs so 1lb down - in 2 weeks not so good though I think I probably gained in the first week so my loss this week wasn't so bad - however overall it's just a 1lb loss - still better than nothing I guess

I'm down a pound - only 3lbs in 3 weeks so I need to get a move on if I'm going to make goal - however I know why the loss has been slow (limited exercise due to injury combined with stress = food) so I'm not going to worry, just focus on improving things now I'm able to exercise again and...

Made it to the gym - 40 minutes on the treadmill (just fast walking at the moment, haven't been brave enough to start running yet) and worked up a good sweat. Had a bit of a worry yesterday evening cos I decided to take my resting heartrate to get a better idea of what I should be aiming for in...

I've missed my weigh in this week - partly cos I forgot but I think really I didn't want to know! So put me down for no change or missed - done well today so hopefully the rest of the week will go to plan and I'll be able to face the scales by Sunday.

Not been such a great week food-wise - been crazy busy and rather stressed and eating my feelings like no-one's business. I (semi- intentionally) missed my weigh in on Sunday and I hope I can make up for last week before this Sunday comes around. So, today: Breakfast - Chocolate shake AM...

I dreaded going swimming at my gym - I'm a similar BMI to you and like you I thought everyone would stare, I also have horrible scars and stretchmarks on my legs so I just look a bit of a mess :( however, despite my body hang-ups, I actually found the worrying about it was worse than actually...

Well done for 10hrs! I've got Wii Fit but noticed you have Wii Fit Plus - is it worth getting? I do go to the gym though so the Wii's an extra but I like the body tests and aerobics (it works for the competitive side of me!) and it's useful for rainy days when I just can't persuade myself to...

Thanks - I'll try the blender idea :) Well, I've decided to move my official weigh-in to Sundays as it's usually more practical as I don't have to be up and about so early (today's not so bad as I'm not going to the gym). So my weigh-in for this week sees me down to 14st 11lbs - 2lb in 6 days...

Hi, I've lost 2lb this week :)

I've lost 2lb this week - down to 14st 11lbs

Can I join in for 10lb... FeelingFat ~ 8lb FattyMcBigbum ~ 10lb Goreygirl ~ 8lb sacha ~ 8lb IzziS ~ 10lb Kes ~ 10lb mini_mim ~ 10lb

OK, well I'm not doing perfectly, I'm good during the day and I struggle to control my intake in the evening but that's always been my problem - the difference between then and now is that I'm not prepared to throw in the towel because I've had a bad evening or two, I'm determined to see this...

Count me in :)

Weighed in today at 14st 13lbs - 10lbs in 4 weeks seems manageable, good luck everyone :)

Things I have learnt so far today... Ready-made shakes = good Powdered shakes = tastes like cardboard, even when thoroughly whisked Meal Bars = vomit-inducing Think I will stick to the ready-made shakes in future!

PS I feel the name of this forum must be fate, mini_mim has been my online persona since I was 15 (I was actually mini then!) so it's quite odd seeing the forum name being so similar, I keep doing a double-take!

Hi, I've introduced myself over in the SlimFast section, but just thought I'd say 'hi' here as well. I've tried to lose weight before with Tesco Diets or just by calorie counting, but I struggle with portion size, binge eating, and just general self-control! My hope is by using the SlimFast...

I took up knitting, doesn't always work but can be a good distraction and you can't eat and knit at the same time!

Well, it's Day 1 so I figure a good day to start the diary, which will hopefully help give me the necessary kick up the proverbial to keep me on course. By way of introduction, I'm Mim, or as my online persona has been for the last 8 or 9 years, mini_mim (a throwback from the days when I was a...

Hi, can you put me down for 65lb, might be a little over-ambitious but it's supposed to be a challenge! Thanks

Hi, I am starting on Monday, although I am doing the Tesco brand version (UltraSlim) as it's so much cheaper than SlimFast, works the same way though I think. I have nearly 7 stone to lose, feeling slightly daunted but I know I can do it with some motivation.

Hi, I'm new here but would like to join this challenge if I may, put me down for 10lbs...
