Wow well done on your loss that's amazing. I lost 7st 8lbs a couple years back but due to a very difficult pregnancy and being bedridden amongst other things had gained it all back and more. I am now at 1st loss with another nearly 14 to go. But hey i'll get there. The photos are amazing that...

So I am finally back on the wagon. I have been back at Slimming World for a few months now and lost 1st. I had lost 1st 1.5lb but due to a holiday had a gain and then lost some. I've been doing pretty well though I think. Planning in advance, batch cooking and freezing. Having one takeout a...

If it was my friend I would tell her she can do it, take baby steps, pre plan and track meals but I do all those lol. the last two days I have stuck to under calories. I started a new Fb page and blog as when I lost the weight before I did the same and it helped so fingers crossed. Food wise...

Has NOT just sent George to the chinese. I only have chinese if I have the calories and I do track it. I bulk cook my daals, soups etc and work out the cals on MFP. I have to eat loads to feel satisfied otherwise I will just binge on a pack of biscuits/ tub of vegan icecream (ooh I want that...

Hi guys. So I haven't posted again for a good 6 months. In that last 6 months I became a Nanna to a gorgeous girl Harleigh-Kasia Lorelei born August 4th. I also became vegan on September 1st. Generally I eat well. I have a veg box delivered every Friday and eat a lot of home made soups...

Hey everyone, So I had a lovely birthday. My partner surprised me with banners, balloons, cake and presents which never happens lol (21st birthday balloons and banners haha). He bought me an Ironman 3 poster ( I love RDJr!) and Lush bath bombs. Also I had a new bag, chocs, clothes for when I am...

I have just under 14st to lose. I also lost nearly 8st a couple years back. Good on you for getting back on it and you know where I am if you need a buddy :) xxx

Hi everyone. My name is Tobi. Some of you may remember me from a couple years ago. I was doing really well, I lost nearly 8st, was getting fitter, my back/leg problems were easing and my confidence was going through the roof. Well here we are a couple years later. So I have just given birth...

Hey, I'm due 7th March by my cycles but first scan put me at 16th March. 2nd scan put me at 8th but they won't change dates now. x

Hi Tracey. I'm 21 weeks pregnant with number 7 and suffer with daily headaches when pregnant. From normal headaches to migraines. I have had pre eclampsia a few times but I also just get headaches from the start. The only thing that touches them is ibuprofen and cocodamol together, not that I...

It's my 30th on July 3rd and although I won't be anywhere near target with over 9st to lose I'll be a bit hotter than now lol. ;) Good luck all you hotties xx

WOW WOW and WOW!!! I just want to say congratulations on your huge weight loss, you should be so proud of yourself! You are an inspiration to us all and look like a totally new man! Happy belated birthday for last week and what an amazing present to find through your door! Don't worry the time...

Well I thought I would pop on to say all is well in the Starr household. I went to Tesco and weighed in and have lost 7.3lbs since last Friday!!! So over a lb a day just. I'm so pleased. I felt like I had lost some but not that much! Anyway my eating is still good, still tracking, even went...

I know this is an old thread but I thought I would add to it. I am vegetarian. I eat a lot of beans, grains and lentils for protein. I either make lentil dahl, lentil casserole, lentil shepherds pie, creamy veg spelt (ainsley) flavored cous cous (again ainsley) I have these with laods of veg and...

Well done Lexie that's awesome. I've seen you posting a lot around the forum! I have been on the xen for 5 days so far and have been spot on! I have been tracking using MFP, if anyone wants to add me my name is TOBIIRHEASTARR feel free. I haven't had any nasty side effects due to being WAY...

I use about 550 cal for breakfast on a huge bowl of oatmeal with maple syrup, sometimes chop a banana in it. Then maybe cous cous and salad for lunch totalling 3-400 then about same for dinner :) x

I drink so much a day. I'd say between 6-8 litres of water/sf squash. I have 4 pint glasses of squash at a time by the laptop in bed and I drink a gd 4-6 litres at work on a night shift. I have to keep a litre bottle of water and bottle of squash on my desk at work. I keep the bottle of squash...

I like the Tesco lemon yoghurt in a 450g pot. I ate the whole tub last night oops. 2g/100g fat. They are lush!

Hey Alison. I admit it took a couple days of ringing round all the chemists in Coventry and Kenilworth. I managed to find a legitimate online chemist that had 2 boxes in stock. I emailed them and they held a box for me while I sent in the script. I'm glad they are working for you. I hope they...

Hey, Well I have been using these forums for a long time but have had about a years hiatus. In this time I have gained back 3 stone of the nearly 8 stone that I lost :/ Circumstances changed. I changed jobs and now work nights and my gym closed down. I ended up binging and pigging out on night...

Hey everyone, Well I went to weigh in tonight. Gained 4.5lbs, tbh I was expecting at LEAST 7lbs with the fact that I haven't eaten anything but takeout in 2 weeks. Seriously bad totm and just everything got on top of me. But ... I went to Asda Tuesday night and stocked up on healthy food just...

Hey thankyou for taking the time to message back. I do live on a sidewalk so that is a possibility. Some nights I walk to work, which is about 1.5-2 miles either way. I have tried Leslie Sansone and 30 Day Shred and am going to buy the DVDs I think. (Last time I downloaded them). I'm also going...

Well I hit the 18st mark.....and then boom, binging came back. Rewind a few weeks. My baguette shop job came to an end. They decided they couldn't afford some staff so cut our hours to zilch. So I thought sod it and found myself a new job. I now work as a taxi operator. Mainly working nights...

Here are a few of my before and afters. I dont have many pics of when I was at my biggest of 25st 7.5lbs but this is the closest I have. I had lost 4st by the Aug pic. Some of these are only a month apart too but you can still see a difference.

Yeah I work in a baguette shop called Eat4Less. It's a small company with about 15 branches around the Coventry area. Very fast paced and cheap shop. Salad wise the only thing that I eat there is lettuce lol. Sometimes if its not too busy with my jacket potato I have beans, a little cheese...

Thanks My_Girl. I have been in the job since September now so am pretty used to it but thanks for the message. I always have either potato or pasta salad after work/before gym to keep me going. I'm lucky that I can use on of the fridges in the kitchen and as long as it's not too busy...

Thankyou everyone for the kind words. I definitely want to keep trying to post here when I get the chance to. I know it has helped in the past. I have been sooo naughty for the past few weeks. I came down with a really bad cold and cough so was just eating whatever I liked, then it was my...

Heyy, I ONLY eat wholegrain pasta, I can't stand claggy white pasta. Fruit wise now I will have either a banana for breakfast OR with my lunch, OR I'll have a bowl of fruit salad with a low fat yoghurt on top for pudding. A typical days eating now on a work day tends to be...

Heyyy... I can't believe how long it has been since I have last posted on here. I used to use this forum daily but have been soooo busy lately that I haven't checked in once. I thought I would give an update on how I am getting on. Well for those of you that don't know, I started this...

Hiya. As some of you have seen, I have started work after 10 years of bringing up the kids full time. This week I have been struggling with it all as I have chronic fatigue also therefore not had the time or the energy to eat/prepare food. Also I am up at 6am, get ready and leave for work...

Hey thankyou all :) Work was ace, took about an hour on my first day to get used to the till etc. It's REALLY fast esp at lunch rush but I got the hang of it now. Phyllis, the boss lady even gave the girls a free baguette and can each when they popped in which I felt bad about and will...

Mmmm I love pfeffernusse (pepper nuts) and Lebkuchen (gingerbread). We get them a lot plus Stollen as I am part German and have grown up with them :)

Hiiiiii.... Sorry all. As I didn't sleep the night before the interview, I was in bed at 4pm last night and up at 3am this morning lol. Well I got the job :D Started today on an unpaid training / see how I get on day and it's awesome, loved it. I'll go into more detail tomorrow as I am...

Thankyou :D Thanks, knowing me I'm worrying over nothing :D Thanks JimJam87, good luck with yours too! Let me know how you get on :) Thanks, I hope so ;) Thankyou. Yeah my Mom said to tell them that I am nervous as I have been out of work for 10 years whilst bringing up my kids...

Thanks both. Well I have taken out my lip bars and kept in my eyebrow one as it's not as bad. Decided what to wear, just need to wait for the morning now. I will be up all night cos with my sleep patterns eg sleeping at 5/6am there is no point sleeping lol.

WOW I had a voicemail message this morning but only received it about half hour ago and it was a job interview offer. It's for 10am tomorrow morning. Now those that know me will know that this means I will not sleep tonight at all lol. I am so nervous, I haven't worked since my eldest kids...

Thankyou Surreygal :D xx Ellebear - I am loving it. So easy lol..I have done it about 6 times before but this time my head is in the game. I just need to remember to keep updating my diary on here...that was my problem before hand :P

Thanks. Yeah I was always a green day person but I am having a mix around although it's mainly green or EE. Hoping to lose at least 1.5lb this week to get my first 1/2st award this time round :D Thanks for popping by and commenting :) xx

Ah now I understand it, I was trying to find the help section on this :) Thanks a lot.

Someone just gave me a rep comment but as it was anon I can't thank them personally, so am just leaving a message here as it was on this thread, so thankyou whoever you are :D

Hey sweetie pie :D I hope you are feeling a little happier today and I am positive you will be straight back into those jeans in no time. You are doing really well, like you said you were 80% this week, well that is better than 0%!! I am sure you will get your head into the game and be having...

Can I join in? I gained 1lb last week but after measuring my waist. I had lost 2.5" in that week!!!! and also managed to get into some size 22 jeans that a friend gave me whereas before I have been wearing a 26. Granted they were elastic at the back so probably more like a 24 but I'm still...

Hi, Well done on your losses, I didn't want to read and run so I thought I would drop in and say that you look great, a definate difference :D Tobii x

Hey, well done on your losses so far. I have read your whole diary and thought it would be rude to read and run so I thought after reading about the using mash to thicken sauces was brought up, I would tell you that I use it for my gravy. Oxo water and mash, although I tend to add onion and...

Well I have written down the next weeks meal plans which I shall add on here as I have them and see what happens next week. I need to get at least 1.5b off this week to get my first 1/2 stone award :)

Monday 13th September 2010 B - 2x Caramel Cream(18) L - Beef Noodles (15) S - 5x mini chocs(5) Banana D - eggs, beans, fruit, yoghurt. Tuesday 14th September 2010 B - banana, grapes, apple yog L - banana, 2 alpen lights (HexB) D - pasta, onion, garlic, corn, babybel (HexA)...

I know this is a bit late now but I make a completely free gravy. Dry fry or frylight or water fry chopped onion and garlic, add water, add a couple oxo stock cubes and add a couple tbsp of smash/value mash stir for few mins....voila..free and yummy!

I forgot to post all week. Just an update to let you all know that in the 5 days prior to actually joining SW but following the plan I lost 6.2lbs. Then at weigh in on Wednesday I lost 2lbs. Unfortunately I have lost my food diary for most of the last week but I wanted to post my plans for...

Well today went a bit t*ts up. We went to town for my partners job interview. I had beef noodles which I was going to class as 2HexB's for the beef and maybe 5 syns for the sauce and 2x caramel creams at Starbucks which I was going to class as 2HexA's for the milk and 5syns for the sauce but...

Aww thanks :) It looks daunting to begin with but it's simple once you get the hang of it. I'm just hoping my body adapts to it again because I have been on such low cals recently. Good luck with your journey though, I have 11st odd to lose so I know where you are coming from. Feel free to...

Thanks Fern :) OK, meals for last 2 days both green days. Please tell me if you think i am eating too much cos i feel like i am. Sunday 29th August 2010 B - Jacket potato, beans and 3x babybel light (HexA) S - Milk for tea (HexA) L - Egg noodles, Onion, Sweetcorn, Pepper sachet, 4oz...

Thankyou :)

Hey all. Well I have come crawling back to Slimming World as it is the only eating plan I had consistently lost weight on until I had a great deal of troubles with my old consultant. I have lost 50+lbs from my starting weight of 25st 7lbs. I am currently at 21st 13.5lbs and am joining a...

Yeah same here I have been awful this weekend. My Mom and my eldest two did lots of cooking/baking for us (not very diet friendly) and I have eaten so much you wouldnt believe. Today I have had a 3rd of a huge lasagne (the big family size dishes!)spread over 2 meals with 2 stuffing balls for the...

I used to eat around 500 cals a day and do times of fasting too. Im used to low amounts of food. I generally dont eat in the day time either as I am prone to binge eat. Once I start eating I dont stop! Youd be surprised how much u can eat for WW points. I can eat heaving plates of food enough...

Well to lose weight, at max 1800 I eat bout 1200 a day. I have no choice in spending that little. I have no money in my budget for food hence I had to quit WW! x

Yeh tell me about it, I was looking at Jenny Craig earlier out of interest and jeez the amount. I only spend about £60 a month on food and house stuff for 2 adults 3 kids 2 cats and a dog and they wanted abotu £270 a month for one person...WOW!

Yeh there are a lot. Its a shame a lot of them are so darn expensive! Im starting WW again tomorrow although doing it myself weighing in at Tesco and got lists of points typed up lol so I shall see how I go this time lol. You should work out the cals some days just out of interest lol. Its...

The Madonna episode is ace I watched it last Wednesday :)

Sorry I didnt mean it to come across cocky, I reread it and it sounded a bit that way. With WW there are a lot of free foods eg veg, what I tend to do is do a huge stirfry or similar with my free foods if I run out :)

The problem I have with SW is that where you say you can come home and eat gammon egg and chips without giving it any thought is that they are still calories, whether they are called points, syns, and the evil free foods. Whether SW says food is "free" or not it is still calories. You can eat as...

Weight Watchers have free join up and free meeting offer vouchers all the time for attending meetings. As for online. There is an offer on at the moment where it is £29.85 for the first 3 months and £10.95 for each additional month. If you go to the site you can print off vouchers, or Google it...

Heyy Kiira...long time no speak. You are doing and looking absolutely amazing girl! I'm starting WW again on Tuesday :) Just can't do it alone...I'll get there though. You always were and are an inspiration to us all xx

Hey my kinda thread too. I have/had about 13 in my ears, 2 6mm (so far) gauges, my tongue, snakebites, labret, left eyebrow piercings. 6 stars down my left arm "Kenzie" with a small heart(my eldest son) on my left wrist a tribal on my right inside forearm "Lee" in chinese on my left...

Wow you have done so well, you look like a different person already! x

You just need to get your head back into the groove. I do the same, I lose loads and then think I can blow it and Ill be ok and then get annoyed cos Iv gained. You'll get there. Good luck x

Hey, Im doing the same. I quit thinking I would just do it at home and weigh at Tesco to save money but I havent stuck to it for one day since quitting. I always thought it was a waste of money esp as I didnt stay to meetings, just got weighed and went home but this time Im gonna stay to...

I know people with more weight to lose like myself can lose quite a lot until the weight comes down a bit and also people with faster metabolisms. Also people that exercise a lot but on the flip side, people that exercise a lot can gain muscle weight so I guess it works both ways. It must just...

Im meant to have 30 something although I wasnt losing weight so myself and consultant knocked it down a point -per week till I was losing but that was because I was eating so little before starting WW so it was a lot of food for my body. Its definately right thought, enjoy them while you can x

Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey. I am rejoining WW for the 2nd time next Tuesday although Im certainly not a newbie to dieting. You have come to the right place though x

I adore sweetcorn fritters, my mom makes them each saturday with my kids but its nice to know theres a WW friendly recipe here, thanks x

You really have some lovely sounding recipes x

Another yummy sounding oatmeal recipe for me to try, thanks x

This sounds lovely. One question thought. How much is a medium bowl of porridge? x

This sounds yummy. Id have to point it as im not doing core but hey Im gona give it a try, thanks x

Will defo give this a try once I get some shopping in it sounds divine x

These sound lovely, I shall add them to the list to try x

That sounds lovely. One question though. Can you roast the carrot, onion (and ok so theres no garlic but I put it in everything so there would be in mine lol)?? and then add to stock and continue that way? x

This sounds lovely, especially for the hunters chicken and the lasagne I saw in one of the meals/photos threads. Thanks heaps, will let you know how it goes x

That sounds nice although Id have to have it without mushrooms. I agree though, the condensed soups are good for sauces, I used to make pasta bakes with them pre WW. x

I'd thought of doing this a long time ago but never got round to it. I froze lots of bananas as they were going to go off otherwise but they didnt taste that nice frozen. However, berries are nice as is pineapple!! I was lucky 2 weeks ago as I went to Tesco on Easter Eve lol and they were...

So many of these recipes look amazing. I have copied/pasted some into Wordpad to have a go at after I rejoin WW next Tues :) I shall post some of mine once I get back into the groove! lol x

This sounds lovely, I'm definately going to give this a try. I always used to stick to the frozen Muller Lights when I was on SW, but this sounds much better, thanks x

Welcome to Mini's, you've come to the right place for support xx

Hey all, well I am Tobii-Rhea, I am 27 years old and mother of 5. I am getting married in a couple years too (yay). I have about 11st to lose and am following WW. I have lost nearly 5st although gained a bit back since. I have just stopped going to classes to save some money so I need to find a...

I have stopped going to WW classes to try and save some money so I am going to try and weigh in at Boots or similar, until I manage to see a doctor or figure out a definate date each week, it's going to be here there and everywhere. Obviously I want to try to stick to the same set of scales...

How can you not get it? It's a brilliant series about a "Glee" club, otherwise known as a drama club where they enter into competitions between schools! :)

Haha my skin is a nightmare although most of it is redness and scarring. You'd think it was good considering. xx

Hi can I join in please, I'd like to lose at least 4lbs. xx

I'm a Tuesday, can I join in please? xx

Can I join in a team please, the help and support would be great I really need to get the weight off this time! xx

Yeah more water is a good idea especially when you eat a lot of fiber (vege's), it'll help the bowels lol. Did you know that you are meant to have half your body weight in pounds as water. E.g I am 295lbs therefore I should have 147oz water a day. Obviously more if you work out etc. Just a tip...

Ooh scary another point gone soon then. I know what you mean its amazing how much you can have for one point, you don't realise how much till its gone xx

Wow well done you have done amazingly well with your loss so far I am sure the rest will fly off. You look like a completely different person. Congrats :) xx

Hey and welcome, you have come to the right place. If you look for the Slimming World section you can start a diary, food or otherwise and get some support from lots of other people on the same diet as yourself. Good luck with overcoming food addiction. I think a lot of us were/are food addicts...

Hey just wanted to say hope you feel better and more positive about things soon. I am sure the cravings for "naughty" foods will pass. Try and stay off the scales till weighin though. It really is better to weigh only once a week, and on the same scales too. Good luck for your next weighin. xx

Hey, well done on your first weigh in result. Try and keep away from other scales, you should stick to the one set as they are all calibrated differently so you will get different results and that will get you down. Also it helps to stick to weighing in once a week too. Don't forget with all the...

Well done on taking the steps to lose weight and for joining Minimins, it really is a good place. You have done so well losing 12lb in your first week. It won't be as high on consecutive weeks but if you keep going as you are then you will lose the weight in no time. xx

Just wanted to say good luck on your journey. It is definately hard at first cutting calories down and I know what you feel about rebelling against the calories lol. I was doing calorie counting before WW it just wasn't for me at the time. You will soon get used to it though :) xx

Well done on fitting into the shirts. It's such a good accomplishment. I managed it earlier last year. I wore a top to my Grandad's 80th (he passed away a month before Xmas =[) it was tight, not skin tight but uncomfortable tight. A couple months later I randomly tried on some clothes and it was...

Hey, I'm a bit late but could I join in? I started at 357lbs and am now 295lbs, my goal weight is 140lbs so I have 155lbs to lose. It's nice that there are other ladies and gents with similar amounts to lose so they can understand where we are coming from. Hope you don't mind me intruding. xx

Hey, well done, 5lbs is brilliant on your first week. Remember not to expect as much of a loss on other weeks though, just don't let it get you down. But you are doing brilliantly already. I started at a weight of 357lbs and am only just under you now so I know how you feel about wanting to drop...

Hey I don't really have any advice because I go through the same problems daily but I wanted to say that I know how you feel and can relate to your problems. Admittedly I am a lot bigger than you but that doesn't mean to say that people your size or smaller cannot have self esteem etc problems...

Hey and welcome to Weight Watchers again, and Mini's. You can get headaches when you cut out/down sugar based foods. For example the obvious ones like sweets, cakes, biscuits, chocolate but also white carbs like rice and pasta etc. They should calm down and stop once your body is used to having...

Hey just wanted to say well done on your losses and you are lucky you have such a lovely supportive partner as do I. I don't think I could handle one that wouldn't support weight journeys. Good luck on the rest of your journey. xx

I am a huge Gleek lol. I have seen episodes 1-13 and love them so much. Have been listening to the first album tonight and watching lots of the video's on Youtube too! I am obsessed with Kurt!!! and think Puck and Finn are gorgeous...esp Puck lol. Roll on series 2!! xx

Hey just read your diary, thought it would be rude of me not to reply. I just wanted to say well done on your loss, you seem to be doing really well, I don't know how I will cope when I get to 19 points, I'm on 25 at the moment. Good luck with getting to the 9st7 mark though...I'm sure you will...

Great tips, I will write them down and have a go!

I used to be/am a binge eater. Years ago I used to cook whole packs of frozen food eg nuggets, burgers, waffles etc and eat all of it to myself. I would buy jars of peanut butter and chocolate spread and eat 2 of each a day. I would buy packs of biscuits, chocolate etc and eat it all and on and...

I think I am going to post this on my fridge and cupboard doors!

Very true. I am starting to accept myself for who I am as a person, but I still have parts of me I would like to change (weight) to love myself 100% if that makes sense?

I just came across this post and thought it is so very true. I have always thought I want to be thin to look better. Now though, although I still want that, there are other reasons for example: I want to be in less pain I want to feel sexy I want to be able to run after my kids I want to...
