Oh there's plenty of the stripy stuff in my kitchen, particularly tinned tomatoes when mixed up with mushrooms and some herbs, basil, Lee n Perrins and garlic makes a mean syn free pasta sauce! But I won't buy pasta and rice unless it is wholewheat, hence why I don't do the discounted range & I...

I should add as a caveat to my last post that I have watched my Paul McKenna DVD 3 times in the last five years lol but maybe he gave me a subliminal message somewhere along the line!

That is such an interesting question. I have always done my Slimming World online and never went in for any of that visualisation stuff as I could never actually see myself being slimmer - and the weight still came off! But it must work - my Paul McKenna DVD does exactly the same thing too -...

getting trim for my wedding is paramount - I have no intention of being a fat bride and having horrors years later looking back at pictures! That's some motivation....I've only recently increased to 5 a day. There's another girl on Slimming World in my class too so we swap notes. She's hardcore...

What makes me work hardest are Gatecrasher Classics! But then I am a bit of a house bunny.... Or totally the opposite, some real angry metal ie Rage Against the Machine/Pantera! I am one extreme or the other!

wow what a fantastic thread and such interesting responses! I started the weight loss journey primarily for me. To get back in control. It wasn't so much about losing the weight but facing my demons head on, which then led to the weight loss. Why was I overeating? Why did I reach for food as...

Hello all, I started Bikram Yoga in October 2009 and which is just amazing. I've seen excellent results so far! I wondered if, firstly, there were other people doing it on the forum and also whether you do other forms of exercise too? I don't want to lose momentum with my weight loss so...

Hi Tasha, I started doing Bikram Yoga (the really hot one!) around October 2009 and have seen amazing results. Never done anything like it before as I always stuck to running and swimming but got badly injured doing running and wanted to sort out my body! Haven't looked back since and I go 5...

Lane swimming at my pool in south London was from 6.30 am till 9am. What I found was that if I went around 8.15 all the people who wanted to get to work on time would be gone, so it was lovely and quiet! Needless to say, I was late for work quite a few times :p Also end of the day, that last...

Gutted at how expensive staples such as wholeweat fusili etc are these days - a big bag from Sainsburys is around £1.60 now and about a year ago it was 99p. Between 2 of us it is around £80 per week. I tried to go £100 a month when we were super skint but it just wasn't possible, not when you...

hehehe yes I am having a final blow-out tonight and getting on with it tomorrow! January is a great time to get on with losing weight (or that's what I'm hoping!). Good luck with CD, I've heard great things about it!

Hi thanks for the post! I love SW but am worried about getting rid of the last stone, everything I read says that it is just the worst to get rid of and short of having no life I hope to refresh my eating habits with it! Good luck to you too - look forward to hearing about your progress!

Hey, Great news on the swimming, it is such excellent exercise :) Although you probably don't need this advice now given that you have made it, you could try going 1st thing in the morning or last thing in the evening when all they have is lane swimming. People are far too busy ploughing up...

Hi there, new to this forum but tried both WW and Slimming World in 2007. I hated WW as I felt deprived the whole time (as soon as someone tells me I can't have something I immediately want it!) and the weighing thing did my head in. It also made me feel guilty as soon as I put something into my...

Hi all :wave_cry: Just signed up to this forum looking for inspiration when I reach for that bar of Green and Blacks instead of the carrot sticks! Getting married at the start of April and need to shift my last stone (went from 14 1/2 to 11 1/2 in 2007), and it's a bummer to move! Re-joined...
