Hi all I've been a member of minimins for ages, tried and failed SW a number of times on this forum! Really want this to finally be the time I nail it. The problem is that I've been increasingly depressed about my weight over the past few months and that leaves me feeling less able and...

BrokenAngel thats an amazing loss! Well done! I've just joined online. I tried a group last year but it just doesn't suit me. I'm quiet and take everything seriously, being surrounded by gossiping people laughing and mucking around as they did in my group made me not feel part of things. That...

I've literally just joined online and also had a few problems - had to clear the cookies, add it as a trusted site etc.... Bit of a pain, but I seem to be sorted now. It is a little pricey but I thought I should give it a go as some form of financial commitment might hopefully keep me on track

I got it out of a SW magazine or booklet ages ago, it is great as you can adapt it to whatever veg you like or as a good way of using up leftovers. Just get your chicken and veg, cut into chunks and then simmer in stock made with stock cubes until everything is cooked. Season well as other wise...

leftover chicken and veg pie from dinner last night - pie made with chicken, broccoli, leek, red and white onion, carrots and peas, topped with mash. served with 1/2 tin of baked beans

Well Done!!

First weigh in result for me - I lost 5lb's!! :D I am aware that first week results are usually quite high but am still pleased, has given me a boost. Can someone tell me if I just post here and the person who started this thread updates? Or do I copy the whole list and edit myself? Thanks x

Started diet today, gone well so far, not tempted to scoff! Will let you know how I do and will be asking for support if I feel down! Good luck guys!

Well said Cocktail, I thought a similar thing myself today. I woke up today, all ready to start day 1 of my SW EE plan and suddenly had a minor panic. I thought 'how am I going to cope without all my lovely cakes, pies, pizzas and alcohol? That sort of food makes me happy!'. But then it...

I started today too, am following EE. Haven't eaten as much today as I probably could have as I got up really late, had an exhausting day yesterday so needed some rest! I've had: B - yoghurt L - baked potato, tuna, 1tbsp mayo D - spaghetti bolognaise Hope I'm following EE correctly...

Great thread. I agree Cocktail - you are really inspirational and proof that someone like me can succeed to. I don't go to class but my turning point for starting a diet was going shopping with my sister a few weeks back. She tried on and bought heaps of stuff and I could only watch. There...

I'll join in with fri WI. Always used to do mondays but the weekend is my weak time so ended up getting fed up.

Glad I'm not the only one! I've got exactly 100lb's to lose, this year I really will do it!

lol, I'd forgotten I'd signed onto this challenge! Am atarting 2mo so will hopefully have some results to post soon!

Well done Mrs. V, stats like yours are so inspirational! What challenges have you guys signed onto? I'm going to do the 'sexy for summer' challenge and march challenge over on the challenges board

I'll join in please! Am starting SW at home rom tomorrow so a 4 week non-stop would be a great kick start. I'll aim for 14lb's

Clothes, clothes, clothes! Haven't bought any clothes for literally 2 years as I feel so awful, will treat myself to everything I've ever wanted!

Thanks for message soccormom xx Got results, they were both fine although I wish one had been slightly higher! Anyway, no need for comfort or feeling sorry for myself, all is well so now can go full steam ahead! Am going to really go for this challenge, as well as the march one. Am feeling...

I'll join in if I may. Am still pretty new here so haven't been involved in any challenges. Have signed up to this one for a short term aim and the 'sexy for summer' one as a long term goal. By the end of march I would like to have lost 17lb's, bringing me down to 16st exactly. I know thats...

Am starting my diet properly today or tomorrow. Have some important exam results to collect today so if I've done badly I may need a day or 2 to get myself together before feeling ready to focus on the diet. Wish me luck and hopefully I'll be posting a weight loss v. soon!

I'm starting EE on mon, I really hope it works as the red/green plan wasn't great for me - I am a fussy meat eater on red and was always desperately ill after trying to eat quorn on green! My diet is so terrible at the moment that I'm sure anything has to be an improvement

I agree with the idea of writing a list as to why you want to lose weight. I sat down last week and wrote a list, I put it on my computer so it is entirely private. I literally listed everything reason in the world for losing weight, from big important reasons like improving my health right...

Wow, we've literally all been there! :banghead: My only advice is to draw a line under it and start afresh in the morning. My self-destruct pattern has always been going off the rails for a day, then deciding that I might as well right off the weekend as well. :( Before I know it, I decide...

Wow where to start! Short skirts and tight dresses - I have been overweight my whole life so have literally never worn a skirt or dress above the knee in my entire life! Bras which are pretty and sexy, not with huge cups and thick straps. Trousers which are not black - I feel so heavy at...

Every time I diet I get obsessed with the scales, jumping on every morning. This time round I'm going to try my hardest to make it only once a week. Last time I dieted, my entire mood depended on what the scales said that morning, not a healthy way to be.

Good luck with the WI! I am new here as well and so far love this site! I am starting SW at home from monday and am really looking forward to it, I feel so bloated and fat at the moment, just want to get healthy for summer. I lost 3 stone last year with SW but put it all back on, except...

Wow some of you guys have done so well. I'd really like to get involved with your challenges but might as well wait until March now. Will add my name on March 1st if you are all starting a fresh challenge!!

This is a brilliant challenge, I'm a bit late as well but would love to join in. I am currently 17 stone and would like to aim to be 13 stone by June 21st, a total loss of 4 stone or 56lb's. Quite ambitious but I am only just starting so the first stone usually comes off pretty quick. I will...

I agree. When I saw the pics of her in the paper I was like :eek::eek::eek:! She looks amazing, you literally wouldn't recognise her.

Thanks loads for adding me to the list! I've decided to start properly on monday as we have a big weekend at home which means the house is stuffed with food and alcohol! Still wanna join in though so will post a weight loss when it happens!!

Can I join in please? Am starting my diet gently so hopefully 7lb's is achievable by easter.

wow I think I've cracked it! This ticker will definately help me loads!

and for the last time...

trying again...

just posting to see if my sig works...

Thanks for the nice welcomes. I am intending to do SW as I had success with this before. Am hoping to try their extra easy plan as it sounds like it would suit me. I had problems doing the green and red days as my system can't cope with quorn, everytime I ate it I was violently ill!

I'm new today as well! 6 stone to lose, am intending to follow SW as had success in the past.

Thanks Cocktailprincess just wanted to check! Have been on forums before where members get all cold and unfriendly if you are not a 'regular'. This place seems really friendly so far which is great as I need support and kind words!!

Wow Alibalibee your stats are just amazing! :eek: Hopefully that will be me soon!

Hi, I'm new today as well. Like you I did well on SW but gave up. I've got 6 stone to lose so I can totally relate to you. Good luck and hopefully both of us will do it!

Hi I'm new today. Hope I'm ok just to randomly join in a thread, don't quite no the etiquette around here so hope I am not interfering with any private groups or anything. I am 17st with an aim to lose 6st 2lb, with a target of 10st 12lb's. I've chosen that target because my highest weight...

Hi all, am actually quite nervous, don't know why! :wave_cry: Ok, here goes. I'm new here today and am really hoping the support of others will help me finally conquer my weight problems. I currently weigh 17 stone :eek:, with an aim to lose 6 stone. At my heaviest I was 17st 12lb and...
