Hey good for you - I love that feeling, it's like a good hurt. I agree with taking a rest, don't want to burn out to early. I'm about to go up a stage, which will be awesome. I've seen some awesome increases in my weights, but the gym has gotten super busy in the mornings which is causing some...

I'm so glad to see that there are others that are eating more calories

You to :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Brilliant - I don't think I could survive on 1200 lol I like my food to much

Are you using the app it's seriously annoying I usually end up just using the website version Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Lol brilliant!!! I'm gutted really as I didn't take a picture of myself right at the beginning - I feel stronger, but it would be great to be be able to look at that starting point and see how much I've changed over the past few months. Are you increasing your weights progressively? Sent from...

Ive not come across either if those?? What do they involve, might have to go and have a little look!! It's amazing really as I have recently been on a course about healthy eating and exercise for work. The trainer showed two pictures both before and after of two ladies and asked what we thought...

Hey found this on the net which some might find useful How to Start Weightlifting (and Why You Shouldn’t Be Embarrassed) | 3FC

Brilliant - I think push ups are my most hated exercise but they are so good for your upper body - and squats are amazing for your bum muscles!!! I did a session at the gym yesterday and they are hurting so bad this morning lol

Well - I have incorporated cardio into my routine, mostly due because I think it's important for your cardiovascular system, I'm not really doing it for weight loss. I would also like to be able to run for the bus if I need to. But primarily my exercise is coming from lifting heavy. So glad to...

Bench pressing has been amazing for that!!! My arms look awesome

Thanks for the replies, yeah I think the stigma is difficult to get around, I struggled with it myself. It's a shame as there are so many benefits!!!!

Wow super quiet!!! Is there no one at all??

The way it was explained to me, and it totally made sense is that 1200 is right for some people but not for everyone. Many peoples basal metabolic rate is higher than this, this is the amount of calories you would need to stay alive if you were completely sedentary, say in a coma or something...

Ah ok well still good job on your first week!!!! I tried slimming world, and whilst I thought it was fab, I didn't really loose a lot due to having all the free foods, I guess I kinda over ate thinking it was ok.

Oh hey thanks for the reply!!!!!! Kinda thought I was out there on my own lol... I am a member of mfp but the forums seem to get really clicky and I never seem to be able to get involved in conversations etc. congrats on the weight loss 1 stone 5 is fab, have you lost that all eating 1450...

Just wondering if anyone is eating more than 1200 calories per day, really struggling to find like minded people.

Just wondering if there are any other ladies that use weights either at home or at the gym. Would really like to chat to other like minded people

Oh whoops didn't notice how old this thread is

That's a shame, I love this book, currently following the plan at the moment. It's seriously hard work but I've noticed some real changes in my body - is anyone else doing it???

Soooo second day in and I think I'm doing ok, still feeling motivated and everything. Decided today that I was going to join sw online and see if that will give me a bit of support - finding it quite good so far but need to sit down and look at the different articles etc when I can. Really am...

I'm a shorty as well so I totally understand where you are coming from!!!! I'm sure you will succeed you sound really motivated well done you. Your tip Is very useful, I really need to try and keep it in mind as I'm terrible for doing that, one choco bar or takeaway and I'm like right that's it...

Awe thanks for the welcomes I really want to keep it off this time so I am intending on taking it really slowly, and taking each day as it comes Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Bit late but yeah I'm feeling good, defo like feeling a little more in control. Though to be honest I don't think it was ever that bad, probably more of a case of ahhh ill start tomorrow. Myself and dh finish work quite late so I am finding it difficult to try and cook l, especially on shopping...

Awe thanks for replying, I know I am pretty lucky, but the trip to see the mouse isn't defo 100% yet. I can't wait until I can go into the travel agents and put down the deposit for the holiday. Well yesterday was kinda good, I felt that I ate well, and managed to stay away from the chocolates...

hello - just wondering if you have got room for a little one (well maybe not so little lol), i really want to try and loose weight as slowly as possible to ensure that i actually keep it off this time. I have a goal date of early november, by which time i want to have lost 2 stone, which i think...

i've just noticed that you are at target - congratulations that must feel amazing, i can't wait until i;m in the same position - although right now that just seems like a dream lol

awww i'm sorry to hear that you are having a bad time, i usually find that for me its the opposite and i stop eating when i get stressed, then as soon as things are kinda back to normal again, i start eating, and i think i probablay eat extra to make up for the time that i didn't eat - mine is...

well - to be honest i hate public speaking and find that my anxiety levels probablay outweigh (pardon the pun) any benefits that i would get from going to class. I did try two different ones, and didn't really find them very helpful, so i think i'm probablay better off saving the cash and using...

oh just thought that i should probablay explain my diary title - basically my inital reason for wanting to loose weight, was because we were going to orlando last year, and i really wanted to loose weight for that - well it didn't happen, although i had an amazing time it would have been even...

Sooooo here we are again, back at the start of a new weight loss journey - i know that this is what everyone says but i really want to do it this time. I know this plan works brilliantly i just need to get my head in the right place and actually do it. Last time i was motivated enough to loose a...

Hello, I think i have restarted this plan so many times its getting ridiculous. I get so annoyed with myself because i know that it works amazingly as i seen many other people succeed, and i myself actually managed to loose weight on it before. I just can't seem to get my head into the right...

im losing weight for myself, so i can wear a bikini on holiday and not feel like everyone is looking at me for the wrong reasonss

I feel so disappointed, first week doing slimming world online as well. is anyone else doing it online, and how are you getting on? I was really hoping for a good number this week, maybe it is better to go to a meeting rather than trying to do it on your own. I feel really miserable Sent from...

First weigh in today and I've lost 1 lb feel really disappointed, I know its a loss and I should be pleased that it's.going in the right direction but still!!!!! Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using MiniMins

Just come back from my ultrasound, and she said theres no sign of any pco which I think is a good thing. She told me that there has to be 12 or more cysts for it to be considered pco and I have no where near that so in her opinion I don't have it. Weirdly I am really relieved, but it still...

I hope you don't mind just being a bit nosey. I'm so worried about being diagnosed with pcos as I know it's going to cause problems on the trying to conceive front. We've already been trying for 6mths.

I'm a bit worried about having to 'hold it' for so long. I just hope it can shed some light on the whole matter.

hiya finally having a ultrasound scan on wed at the hospital to find out whether or not i have pcos. This has been an ongoing process since i came of the pill last july. First cycle was 41 days, this cycle so far has been 134 days, its been 6 months since i last had a bleed (sorry if tmi). Ive...

Hiya just wanted to give you some support, being as youve had no replies. How did you get on in the end. Dont be ashamed of your starting weight, at least you are doing something about it now, just think you will never see that weight again. And your getting married, how exciting!

I think the app is quite good, i also have it on android and it works fine. Tend to use it more when im out and about, and the actual proper website when i have a bit of time

Hiya everyone, my name is gemma and I started slimming world online on thursday after days of ummming and ahhhing. I have done slimming world before, but became complacent and put the weight back on again. ive also had several restarts, but this time, due to the money I've spent I'm hoping i...

hiya, my name is gemma - i've been here several times, but each time i've just given up and ended up putting on more weight than i started with. I'm currently at 11.8 which is the very largest i've ever been. My father-in-law is taking the whole family on a holiday to florida in september, and...

Argggggggggggggg can't believe it, i've lost another 3 pound this week - completly over the moon - that means that i've lost a total of 8 pounds so far. :eek: And i've tried my wedding dress on and it fits and looks utterly fab, i'm not even sure that i will need the support undies that i've...

I lost 2 measly pounds

It bloody better be or I may kill someone. Lol

In preparation for my wedding day I have stepped up the exercise and tonight I have just completed a half hour spin class and an hour body pump class and I feel well shattered...... God I am not looking forward to waking up tomorrow it's gonna hurt........

i've just got back from my weight-watchers class, and i can't believe that i have actually managed to lose 3 pounds - i'm so over the moon, especially being that i didn't loose anything last week either. I can't really figure out what i did differently though - maybe did an extra bit of exercise...

i thought that it might be helpful to write down what i am eating on a daily basis, and also somewhere for my werid and wonderful rants lol. Tuesday breakfast - 30g bran flakes - 1.5 points skimmed milk - 0.5 points total - 2 points snack - curly wurly - 1.5 points 3 pk buscuits - 2.5...

I've got the calculator as well - definatley a life saver, it comes everywhere with me. i like that i can track my days points on it as well as checking point values on products

hello - i went to my meeting yesterday for my second week weigh in and i was a little dissapointed to learn that i hadn't lost any weight. I guess i should have expected it really as i had a bit of a naughty weekend :D - i knew that weighing in on monday was going to come round and bite me in...

thank you - =0)

Hiya guys, i had my first weeks weigh in last night and i was shocked to discover that i had lost 2 pounds. Although it was my first week which technically means that i should have been on my best behaviour i overindulged (a little lol) over the weekend which made me positive that i wouldn't...

That is such a weight of my mind (pardon the pun lol). I think I'm going to try and post regularly to check with you guys that I'm doing it all properly. Like I said before it's quite strange going from eating tonnes of free food and not really having to worry bout weighing to suddenly needing...

yey - thanks so much i was sitting here having a heart attack then.

help anyone...................

Oh god don't tell me that i've gone wrong already ..... female - 3 21-35 - 4 11 stone - 11 5'2 - 1 day-to-day life - 4 (i'm a pharmacy technician on my feet all day) = 23 points :rolleyes: Please tell me as soon as possible if this is wrong.:eek: Also i guess if i'm not counting the action...

Hello - well today is the first day on this plan, and i've gotta say that i'm getting on ok (i think). I was doing the SW plan, although it was great, i stopped losing weight after a while - and when reading a magazine i came across a voucher in a magazine and decided to go along to the...

Am just feeling seriously miserable at the moment.... have no motivation - even though i'm supposed to be getting married in october!!! I just don't know whats wrong with me?? I did so well at first, but then the 'newness' kinda disappeared and now i just can't get my head around the wanting to...

I can't believe that its been 4 weeks since i last posted thats crazy. It feels as though that was like ages ago. Basically since i was last on here my fiancee and myself have finally decided to get married (after 7 years of being engaged) so its definitely about time. I've been wedding planning...

YEY Well its nearing the end of the day, and i can definitely say that i have managed to stick to the SW plan 100% (God that feels good saying that). This is what i have eaten. BREAKFAST - grapefruit, bran flakes, milk from allowance. TEA BREAK - apple, pear, French fries LUNCH - mixed...

Re-reading this i can't believe how much i yabber on about nothing in particular. Talk about random ramblings...... lol

What a great idea for a post :D I weighed in tonight and have gained another 1/2 pound so i'm going 100% from tomorrow!!

Oh for crying out loud!!!! - sort yourself out woman Thanks for your words of support guys!!!!!! So tonight was weigh in, and i went thinking that i would at least lose that one pound that I'd gained last week. But no, I've managed to gain another half pound. God this is so frustrating. I...

just checking my signature

I have decided to write a diet diary in the hope that it will keep me motivated. I haven't posted for a while as i kinda went of the rails, but now I'm back and feeling focused again. :wave_cry: :sigh: BREAKFAST Pink Grapefruit 28g Bran Flakes Skimmed milk from allowance SNACK Kiwi Apple...

hello all, I am finding myself starting to feel really lacking in motivation. In this weeks weigh in i got my first award, 1/2 stone which was amazing, i definatly starting to feel as though i'm losing weight, clothes are sligtly looser. The weeks are great, don't go over sin allowance, cook...

Hi - can i join too. i started sw on the 20th jan and had first weigh in on the 27th. Lost 3 pound doing ee so far, wouldn't even consider anything else, in fact i haven't even bothered looking at the red/green booklets. I was reading a sw magazine, and saw the week plan for ee, did a bit of...

Hello - i thought that it might be helpful to start a diary. Write down all my thoughts and feelings etc. So i had my first weeks weigh in on wednesday and i was really pleased to discover that i had managed to lose 3 pounds. Its a little less than i was hoping for, but then i've always gone...

Pole dancing would be amazing I did try to find out some information from my local class, but because it's so fashionable the prices were ridiculous

awww thanks guys - will keep you posted

Just checking that what i have eaten so far on extra easy is correct - i would hate to have gotten it wrong so far, not know, then not lose anything on my first week Thurs (officially the first day - kinda started on wed but didn't have all the info so probably didn't do it correctly)...

I started belly dancing last week and its soooo much fun. I'm not much of a gym person, so this kinda class suits me fine. I was a bit nervous at first as i must be the most uncoordinated person in the universe, as well as being the youngest in the class - but the other women are really fun...

Hello everyone, I've just started on the Slimming World plan, and am actually loving it. I'm doing the extra easy plan, and i just can't believe the amount of food that i am able to eat its amazing. Anyway i had my first weigh in on weds and my starting weight is 11.4 :cry: majorly depressing...
