Well I gained 0.5 pounds. I'm a bit disappointed with that but after losing a stone in two weeks I suppose things are evening out. Anyway, I just have one more weigh in before going on holiday so fingers crossed for next week. Congratulations to everyone on their loss.

Oh me please! Just to add a (very) little balance to the gender of the group. I want to be at target - so that's 44 pounds of the wobbly stuff to go. Devon_Dumpling, 27lbs to lose MadameLaMinx, Orion83, 42lbs to lose Hastalavegan, SammieBean, Shrimpy, 28lbs to lose, Lurverick...

Another week, another SIX pounds. A stone in a fortnight, can hardly believe it.

Congratulations miss_williams and good luck.

Someone said to me "You can't uneat it, wipe your mouth and move on". You're doing well, of course it's annoying to trip up a bit but we've all done it. The big mistake would be to decide that you've blown it. You haven't. Good luck.

Green tea is fantastic. It is extremely good for you but I'm not sure about its weight loss properties. You might have to persevere with it though. I didn't like the taste at all but I do now.

I've been finding that with all the fruit I've been eating that constipation is the least of my worries!

Congratulations - great start.

Well KFC must have something going for it! Well done.

Hmm, there are various calculations and formulae. The one deemed most accurate is HRmax = 205.8 − (0.685 × age). Target heart rate should be 65 - 85% of HRmax.

Congratulations. That will be you back on trackl now.

I have the app on my iPhone. I was doing well but took time out to eat pies and gave up. I am going to start again. The app can update your facebook page so you can shame yourself in public!

Online shopping's great! We use Tesco and, like others, if there is any problem with the order there is no issue with a refund. I find it cheaper as there are no distractions in the aisles!

I think everyone has a trigger food. With me, it's Doritos. I *know* that if I start eating Doritos I won't stop. It's (much) easier for me to have none at all than a limited amount.

Salad and low fat cottage cheese, followed by a Muller light.

The Extra Easy book's a good one. Some excellent ideas that might stave off the biggest problem - boredom!

I really just got sick of being fat. My back and knees always hurt, my clothes don't fit properly. I'm doing this for me!

And welcome from a newbie! I have been on SW for two weeks (tomorrow) and have learned a lot from the site.

I think that the thermic effect of protein means that if you were to eat the same number of calories in protein vs carbs you would lose more weight on the protein. So green may be a bit slower but I'm sure you'll get there!

Any diet that allows limitless baked potatoes and baked bean is fantastic!

... and how much of the week is left?

That's the really important part. You've not given up, just slipped up. Good luck, you'll do fine!

Well done - could cost you a fortune come payday though :-)

Bananas are great! I love bananas! But like the others I would substitute some other fruit sometimes - there are some nice strawbs and rasps around at the moment. BTW, I'm a bloke and only get 15 syns. I demand a recount :-)

The thanks button is the set of scales at the bottom of the user profile (next to the online indicator). I *think* that you need more than 25 posts to change your avatar.

Off to a flying start, well done.

Why do you think it could be the start of your demise. You have done really really well. Are you bored with the diet? Maybe try some new recipes. Why not dig out an old photo and ask yourself if you really want to go back to that?

Apparently I won it last week (my first weigh in) but I didn't stay for group so I don't know if I get anything. I'm quite happy with the loss tbh.

Avon skin so soft is fantastic against Scottish midgies. I speak from experience.

Welcome. It's amazing how many people (me included) are surprised at how much one can eat. Good luck.

Fantastic stuff Ian, you're an inspiration to us newbies.

Hi JustJon, welcome to the forums. I'm on Slimming World but all the forums seem very welcoming.

Great effort! Well done!

I have an appointment next week - the transfusion service comes to work. The only issue is the chocolate biscuits they have .....

Better than pizza isn't it :-) Well done on your achievement.

The diet has changed a wee bit due to the introduction of EE but if you remember what you did before then you'll be fine. Good luck!

And a Stone Roses fan too ? Best of luck !

I would say it's 9 ... the only option available in the database is probably the one you found. Basic/Non Branded Foods White wine, low alcohol 250ml...

Are they the frozen ones? The only ones available are Iceland Yorkshire Puddings, 12/16 pack, frozen 18g each and they are 2.5 syns on all plans.

It is, essentially, a low fat diet. Ultimately, while you can pile your plate with salmon or spuds, who really wants to? Now if it was pizza ..... I agree with others, it's not a diet, it's a way of educating yourself what to eat to look after yourself - the weight loss should follow...

One of the things that attracted me to SW was the amount of fruit that you could eat. A fruit salad with low fat natural yoghurt is lovely.

Congratulations Tush, that's a great start.

It really does help to put things in perspective - thanks for that.

Ian, Thanks for the advice. I've been looking at your diaries - your weightloss is astounding - well done.

and don't get me started on apostrophes !

I've already posted this on the newbies section but I lost 8 pounds on my first weigh in. Delighted with that!

Hi Cath, Good luck with your weight loss. I was in Turkey last year and thought the food was fantastic! maybe too much so.

Thanks again all. I know I have a long way to go but with two knackered hips while under 50 I owe it to myself.

Hi n1kky I'm another newbie and looking to shift around 50 pounds. Welcome aboard, it looks like a nice place!

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. My weigh in showed an eight pound loss! Not bad for the first week.

Hi everyone, I have joined my local SW group and it's my first weigh-in tonight. I tend not to have any syns during the week but instead have one meal where I eat what I want. It's probably not what was intended but I'll see if it works! I've been sticking to red days and have not...
