I have a lot further to go so I'm hoping to be 9.2 by Christmas! Have been low carbing since Thursday and feeling great!

2.5lbs off this week - yippeeeee! I really needed that, my motivation had been shaking a little, had a bit of a wobble this time last week when my boyfriend moved in with me and all we wanted to do was feed each other yummy food. I feel motivated again now!! By the way, in the control panel is...

2 and a half off for me this week! Yippeee! 0.5 to go! Irene - 4 lb Fuzzy23 - 4lb - wk 1=sts,wk 2=2lbs off Gerry - 5lb -7lbs off Busybee - 6lb Gemma1986 - 4lbs Smirky - 5lbs - 2lbs off - 3lbs to go, -2lbs ... missed target by 1lb!! (4lbs lost in total) Elkay - 5lbs Jax123 - 6 lb + 1lb - 7...

Well, Tuesday is weigh day, and I must confess, I was slightly disappointed to have lost 1lb. I know I need to look at in context and see that any loss is a good one, but I think I expected more in the first two weeks. I did WW in the summer and lost 9lbs in my first 2 weeks! I'm being silly...

So when do the teams get up and running? - I had my weigh in today! x

Well, I didn't order a pizza, aren't I good! I had a tomato pasta, although it did have cheese on top... Also, when they brought bread at the beginning I instinctively grabbed a piece and buttered it! I guess I still have some new habits to learn.... I'm going to have to be extra good for the...

... is it ever OK to think, "Right, tonight I'm going to have a blow out and order whatever I want"? I might be going out to eat tonight - Italian. I could order a tomatoey pasta dish, but I'm gagging for a pizza. And if I order it, I'll eat the lot! What should I dooo?!

Right, I want to join in! I'm going to be ambitious, as I had a very indulgent December and tend to get a good weight loss in the first month. I've already lost 3lbs in my first week, so I'm going to go for 7lbs altogether in January! It's my birthday on the 29th too, so that's an extra...

Hello and welcome! I'm a 'returner' as well, I know the plan like the back of my hand, and it never fails to work. I just need support to stick at it, I get complacent after I lose the first stone. Oooh, you've made me want butternut squash chips now! Hope you have a good first week back on...

Count me in, I wanna play!

I don't really know what this is! Can someone explain? I might be up for it!

Haha! I like your options! I'd say absolutely make him a cake, and of course you should have some! As you say, it is a special occasion. Your husband will want you to enjoy it with him, and it's when you start refusing to be a part of special things like birthday cake that things can start...

I've managed to get an avatar, but I still can't see my profile?

Hello and welcome! Lots of people are very scathing about diets like Lipotrim, but I think there's a time and place for them - like your wedding! They're great if you need to shift lots of weight quite quickly for a specific occasion, but you must accept that once you stop the weight will come...

Free veg is anything like carrots, brocolli, cauliflower, sprouts, and lots and lots of stuff. The only veg with points is starchy veg like potatoes and parsnips. Also, peas and sweetcorn have a low points value. Sounds like I'm definitely going to have to try some of these cheesecakes and...

Yeah I was eating huge bowls of pasta like 3 times a day! Even if it had worked (by some strange miracle), it wouldn't have taught me anything about balance and moderation. I think Slimming World must be for people who are disciplined and recognise when they are full. I need clear boundaries...

Cupcakekatie - I know all about starving and binging - no more of that for me! In the past I've set myself horrendous 2 week/1 month goals, hoping to lose too much too fast. This time my only real goal 'date' is way off at the end of June, so I have time to lose weight healthily and sensibly...

It will be really really tough to lose lots of weight and quit smoking at the same time! They are both very important things that you should do, but maybe your husband is right that you should chose one as your first priority and tackle the other when you feel in control of your first 'demon'...

Yes, I definitely need to make it stick for life this time, that's why I don't really mind if it comes off slowly. I'm managing fine so far. I'm so used to Weight Watchers I barely have to look things up anymore! As I say, the weight loss will come, I'm great at that part. The maintaining - not...

... I still can't look at my profile or upload an avatar. How come? :cry:

Sometimes there are just inexplicable blips. It's so frustrating, especially when you know you've been angelic. Just remember you have lost weight! You're lighter than you were last week. I bet if you're good this week I bet you'll have an amazing weight loss!

Yep, they're pretty good. They do some nice pastas and curries. They tend to be slightly higher in points than WW and M&S, but not by much, maybe a point or two. Another good thing is that Tesco calculates the points for you, it's on the back in a red circle. Oh dear, I'm really exposing myself...

Mine is the helper. I think my group must be really popular, because my leader always seems to be chatting away to new members every week. She did say something this week about how horrified she is when she goes home and looks at the weigh-in details and notices someone who had a fantastic...

The M&S ones are gorgeous and amazingly low in points. Many are lower than WW meals! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone on WW who eats ready meals.

Thank you! I have two more weigh-ins before my birthday, so taking my 3lbs into account I have to lose 2lbs each week to get my half stone. A challenging but achievable goal I think! I'll keep you all up to date! x x x

This is a good place if you're doing it on your own! I struggle with motivation and there's nothing like having this support here all day and all night when you feel yourself getting weak. It's inspiring to chat to people who have done so well, and in a relatively short space of time. It'll...

First week back - and I've lost 3lbs! Hurrah! Feel better already, and not at all hungry. I keep picturing myself at goal and it's really spurring me on. Hoping for a good loss next week too to get me off to a really good start. It's great when you're starting out, you just want the weeks to go...

I think they're all quite nice, but rather small. The macaroni and cheese is one of the most satisfying because it's not that small and is very creamy. I like the sweet and sour chicken, but it's so small! The lasagnes are quite good, because it's the kind of thing that you would serve with...

Hello there! I'm new (to the forum, not Weight Watchers) and have noticed lots of people use the forum to keep weight loss diaries, which I think is a splendid idea. I'll join in! A little bit about myself - I'm a 24 year old trainee teacher and a life long yo-yo dieter. I've always been...

.... I return to Weight Watchers with my tail between my legs, begging to be taken back! I've lost a lot of weight with WW many times, but have always fallen off the wagon. For that reason, after a very indulgent Christmas, I thought I might try something different, something without counting...

I hope so - I'm greedy!

My Slimming World consultant repeatedly used the word 'limitless' to describe how much free food I can have. Now, on this forum I've seen lots of chat about 'eating til you're satisfied and stopping when you're full'. Now to me, those are too different things; I'm not satisfied til I'm stuffed...

Pasta n Sauce, Quorn sausages, chicken slices, eggs, pasta pasta pasta!!

Thanks! Yeah I already use Black Dragon sauces, but may also make some of my own so I can spend my Syns elsewhere!

I'm just starting out and am trying to make Slimming World-friendly tweaks to all my favourite meals. What is a low syn stir fry sauce? I hear there are some seasoning sachets that are syn free but I don't know what they are? Any help would be greatly appreciated! xx

It does, thank you! I don't really mind if it comes off slowly, as long as it comes off! After years of dramatic yo-yoing, I need something for life, which I accept might take a while.

Thanks, I know it MUST work, because the plan is so well known and reputable. Would anyone say they have less success following Extra Easy than they do following Red and Green days?

Hello fellow slimmers! Happy new year! I've been a yo-yo dieter for years; I'm great at losing weight (usually following the Weight Watchers diet), but I simply can't maintain it. I've realised I simply can't live long term on an eating plan which involves being HUNGRY! So naturally people...
