Hi! I'm an 'old' minimins member, but new to WW! I did SW before my wedding, since then i've had two babies and need a new diet plan to fit around motherhood! so here i am! I weigh in tonight for the first time. EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! i've enjoyed the diet this week, will be interesting to...

Thanks so much MissSlinky. I wouldn't normally ask but i just cant get to a meeting :( my MW recommended Guiness too!! full of iron! haha! i've never been more thirsty than when i was bfeeding!! Oasis6918 - that sounds awful poor you :( i don't think i'll bother with physio, straight to the...

does anyone have the pregnancy leaflet they could possibly scan/email me?

5 Hea's?! that's immense! but saying that, on Bfeeding i ate like a DEMON!! haha!

How did you find Physio? i've heard mixed reviews on whether it helps or can make it worse. how was your labour with spd? i didn't 'think' i had it first time, but labour the pain in my hip was just awful, worse than the labour!! but i was in stirups! won't be making that mistake this time...

awwww poor you on the spd, have you had any therapy? my friend had it awful and found a lady to do three day intensive massage/reflexology/acupuncure and she was more or less 'cured' it was amazing! i have her number ready just in case! there will be 14 months between my two! insane i think...

thanks, yeah i've been on there! x

Hi All! not sure if anyone remembers me?! I was a regular back in 2010! I'm pregnant now with my 2nd baby due in July, which is great. but I need to lose some more weight. I have mild SPD and the more weight i carry the worse it is. I can't get to a meeting this time (the ones at work are...

Hi All! i haven't been on this forum for a very long while (too Long!) i lost three stone in 2010 before my wedding and then fell pregnant. have a beautiful baby girl (Reese) who was born in May 2011. I'm now pregnant again (due 7th July) and going to start Slimming World again...

Hey all! thank you! im excited to be back! done ok today (although had a cereal which i thought would be my HeB and realised it wasn't and was 5 syns! doh! rookie mistake!!) and have no idea what to cook tonight so am going to rummage through the receipe thread! hope you're all doing well xx

Not sure if anyone remembers me! i joined last Feb and lost 2.5stone on SW before my wedding in July in Mexico! i loved SW!! i conceived on our honeymoon and im now 6 months pregnant! luckily i've only put on 2lbs so far, but i am back here so i can get back into SW so i don't put a lot on...

Hi All! I haven't been on here for months and months, but im back! i'm now 26+5days pregnant with my first baby! I recognise some of you lovely ladies, congratulations on your babies too! when are you all due? I lost a lot of weight at the beginning of my pregnancy with horrible morning...

Hey! i've been a member on this site for about a year, it really helped me last year lose 3 stone on slimming world. when i fell pregenant in August i weighed 13 stone (so was still only just obese) but today at 26+5 I weigh 13stone 2lbs :) so i'm pleased. i'm back here because i want to...

just to be annoying, can i put my weight on here, because i don't update every week and i'll lose track! sorry to be annoying!! Devon_Dumpling, 27lbs to lose MadameLaMinx, Orion83, 42lbs to lose Hastalavegan, at least 30lbs SammieBean, Shrimpy, 28lbs to lose, Lurverick, 24lbs to lose...

Lonestitcher speaks the truth!! x

omg sooooo normal! my fitness changes daily with things like that! sometimes i can run and run and run, other times a few minutes kills me. keep it up, you will get fitter x

what is the fastforward thing?

thanks girls! and well done everyone! x

well done on the weight loss! that's great! it infuriates me when people say that when you exercise you might not lose as quickly! what a croc!! keep up the exercise,it's so fabulous for your body. why don't you try just having one glass of wine every other night? i think it's moer of a...

i stayed the same. i STAYED THE SAME!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooo pleased! WAHOOOOO!! *dances*

I'm nervous today. first 'real' weigh in since my hen weekend. gulp.

WOW WOW WOW WOW

not long nowwwwwwww... ;)

i've just come back from ibiza, i weighed myself in boots last tues, and i weighed myself today in boots and i've only put on 1lb! it's a total miracle! i'll be interested to see if that's true on weigh day at SW thurs!

WOW. CP that's AMAZING! you must be sooooooooooooooooooooo proud of yourself! you're nearly half the woman you were! literally!!! well done! you superstar! i weigh in at SW on Thursdays, but weigh in at Boots on Tuesdays and according to those scales i've put on 1lb. if that's true it's a...

im not going to my normal class now, i've got tomorrow off. so im going to a morning class locally instead!

i'm off to ibiza friday for my hen weekend. if i don't put on 7lbs i will eat my hat!! but it's holiday time! who cares, it'll come off again and this is a lifestyle and sometimes you have indulgent times!

i don't think my weightloss started to notice until i lost 1.5stone. i've lost 2.5now and im buying smaller clothes and people notice more.

oh don't worry, Emma just called me, it's on! thanks! haha! x

class leader is Emma at 0930 at St Michaels and All Angels church hall. anyone go there? i want to take tomorrow off work (weigh day) and need to go to a different, local class. was going to go to this one but im not 100% convinced it exists. i've tried calling the class leader but no...

i can't see Furry's pics :(

the best TV series of all time is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. i love it more than i love anything else ever. i am a true buffy fan. the others i like are Lost The Wire Grey Anatomy Fringe

awwww i agree, it's so hard not to weigh yourself, i do it. i do it on so many different scales though so i don't really take too much notice apart from my SW scales. stick with it 100% and i bet you have a loss on Thurs :) good luck! x

excellent excuse to do more of it ;)

thats so so clever i'm so going to try that! thank you!

Hey ladies i can't seem to find the syn value for these anywhere. anyone got an idea? for the tomato and herb flavour? x p.s. they are DELISH! like little pizza's! Mmmmmmmm

THAT PIE! OMG!!! I want it! recipe please!! and same for the choc cake please! wow!

I think it's down to the individual and how you work. I can't say i've ever over indulged and got greedy with the free food, and like elizabeth says, it's because its physcholigical. I know i can eat loads of it, so i don't binge on it.

awwww i'm glad people are feeling the sw love! keep it up, we're all doing soooooo well!

well done Tuesday girls! i had my fake weigh in this morning at Boots and lost 3lbs since last Tues :)

i only follow the '1/3 superfree' rule when it comes to main meals on EE. it works for me so far. but generally i snack on fruit so that's probably why!!

awww i love stories like this! :) x

my weight loss is about 5 days behind me, so if i'm really good it doesn't show until the next week's weigh in, does that make sense? dont' be too hard on yourself, keep up the good work and next week might be even better! 1lb off is still fab! well done you :)

wahoooo! im having cheese and bacon burgers! Mmmmmm i've already had my Hea so how many syns are in one dairy lea light slice, does anyone know?

curry sounds gooooooooood! i don't have the recipe book. are there any that are relatively quick to make?! i am lazy lazy!

what can i have for tea tonight?

awww i can't see angelbecki's pics :( well done Ellebear and niknaks, that's amazing!

i see a few people are struggling at the moment, but i thought i'd try and lift the mood a little bit! give us a reason you're happy being on SW. for me i feel so much better. i buy things from normal shops now in a size 16 and they always fit! i am so pleased! i am going on holiday...

i think it's 1% less safe than the combined pill, so about 98% safe. if you're worried use condoms too. no pill is 100% safe.

great thanks! i'm going to make some of this tonight! i go away Friday so a few extra pounds off before the bikini sounds good to me!!!

this might be a stupid question, but how do you freeze soup? what do you store it in? how do you eat it? (defrost it in the fridge then cook normally later or something else?)

well i never! i might try that tomorrow!

my weight is taken just once a week i monitor it myself every morning though, it keeps me on track.

i will deffo go back on it once i've had a baby!

wow! talk me through them!!

how kind of you!

well done, you should be very proud of yourself xx

well done everyone xx

yummy to all of that! we're out tonight (seeing Frankie Boyle!) so i have no idea what i'll eat. maybe Nando's (again!!)

oh no! lucky you checked!!! 4.5syns isn't too bad though, enjoy it!

yup its an everyday pill. gld you're ok now karen x

thanks gorgeous! I'm so pleased!!

i lost 2lb and i had drunk a litre of water this morning :) so i will drink every week now. after ibiza (next weekend) I will also have breakfast on weigh day, and will do that every week following :)

good luck with it :) i've been off it since March now, and i've had a period every month so maybe it's only hard to get out of your system for some people! i seem to be back!

i lost 2lb! YAY! so shocked! and i got slimmer of the month for May :) :) :)

i am soo worried that i will go back, but i really don't want to. i find it very easy to slip back into over indulging and i know how easy it was for me before to be so glutonous. I hope over time i can change the way i eat, because i never 'want' to go back.

i was on cerazette for years tbh they say that no contreceptive pill will make you put on weight, but they can increas your appetite. i never had a problem with it although there are a few things you need to be aware of. 1. you might never have periods. i didn't. some people get random...

wow! WELL DONE! that's fabulous! x

i lost 8lb in one week! how did you feel? i was shocked beyond belief, it was weigh day after my hen weekend so i expected a gain! i nearly fell off the scales!! was you expecting it? Not at all!! did you have a good week? food wise yes, i was very careful. but i drank my bodyweight in...

i find i have better losses on red days, BUT, i find it more of a struggle to stick with red days than EE and end up going off track. so over a month my weight loss is the same on red as EE (as on red i might lose BIG on two weeks, but put on two weeks cause i can't stick to it, but on EE i lose...

it's weigh day today, and although i haven't eaten still, i am drinking today! so that's a start! i am expecting a gain anyway so thought i'd drink today and will every week from now on. maybe after Ibiza i will eat breakfast on weigh day too, and then i can every week!

thank you!

*waves* Hi Thursday girls! I'm new to the Thurs thread (was a tues girl, but my class moved!) i'm going at 2pm today so will let you know how i go. i'm expecting a gain as i've been naughty and it's STILL * week!! well done ladies so far! x

good luck honey, you sound so dedicated :)

that is just AMAZING!

thanks lovely xx

oh Britmumincanada - can you link me to your website? i had it bookmarked and i lost it! your recipes are fabulous!

oh ok, thanks honey. what is it? is it just kind of syn free or something? is it only used as a tool for when you're struggling or can you use it when things are ok but you want a big loss before a big event? (i.e. my wedding! soon! gulp!)

i hate days like that, nothing hits the spot! i used to get them pre SW too and could eat about four chocolate bars and crisps etc etc and still not be satisfied. it's a toughie, but get through today and you'll be so proud of yourself. hot drinks help i find x

this is a random thread title, because i didn't know what it was called, but i recall reading on here about someone who wasn't losing and they did a strict sw diet for a week to kick start things. anyone know what it's called and what it entails?

you are soooo good for working through this and asking for support, i wouldn't be as strong as you and would of thrown in the towell!! a friend of mine had a similar experience and moved to WW rather than SW and has started losing again. i do sometimes think different diets work for different...

Gettingthinnerbytheday 49lbs Wish 7lbs Scanbran 43lbs Not_lar_croft 45lbs Atchonblimp21 - 47lbs Woodsylou - 36lbs Total = 227lbs:D

joining here is a great step, there are so many threads and recipes and advice, you can't go wrong! you can do it! good luck x

i would go for something from Tesco/M&S/Boots then, because they have them everywhere and you can get something and take on the train. you could pick up some roast chicken (take the skin off) and haev with a preprepared salad (M&S do a Santarini salad of mixed leaves, onion, tomatoes and pepper)...

i put on 5lb on * week, and lost 8lb the following week! stick with it! x

are you going to eat out or get something to eat on the move? where in London will you be? there are sooooo many options. you could go to nando's to get chicken and rice and sweetcorn etc, or you could get a chicken salad or something from M&S/Tesco. you could go to Pontis and get a jacket...

WOW!!!!!! Well done you! that's just amazing!!! x

oh thanks Jen x

haha! how the hell am i meant to choose?!

i might try the quiche tonight too. although i am very confused now that i've read about 397502 different recipes!

do you just use mince and that's it? i use extra lean mince wochester sauce shallots and lots of seasoning some garlic sometimes some chilli sometimes they are my favourite SW meal. with diary lea light cheese slices and bacon! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

NO WAY?!??! I can't believe she said that, how sad is she?! i hope you replied 'not going to happen now love'! i can't believe someone said that!

Well done gorgeous! i'm not lying next to you in Ibiza ;)

god you lot are organised! I'm back on EE this week for breakfast i've had some porrige (HeB) with Milk (HeA) and 1 tea spoon of half spoon sugar (1.5 syns) lunch i have no idea. dinner will be chicken, roast potatoes and Veg. and gravy (synned)

awww hon. is your group electronic now? do you keep a check on lifeline online? that's so annoying. maybe you could start again, but put all your details (from memory/on here/lifeline) in your book?

i really feel for you, i know exactly what you mean and it's sooooooooooooo frustrating. I dont' have an answer, but i feel for you. you're doing SOOOOOOOOO well, well done you *hugs*

Good luck girls and well done all so far! i move to Thursdays now :( but i also weighed in this morning at boots, which im going to do every Tues so i'll let you know next week how i got on! :)

that's so cool! i'll give you a wave! haha! x

great stuff! i am making it this weekend! thanks for the recipe!

i think you look fabulous! I know what you mean though, a friend of mine has lost 6stone and she's now a size 12 and we always say she's far too 'thin' now, and thinking about it, she's not, from an outsiders view she's slim and healthy, but we're so used to seeing her bigger that it's a shock...

those kiev's sound nice, are they garlicy enough? i feel like i'd need another garlic clove or two! I'm a garlic fiend! lovely lovely! I'm going to make those :)

sorted!

thanks for all the suggestions girls :) in the end i got a spa day each from lastminute.com. a back neck and shoulder massage and a mini facial at the hilton park lane, for £20 each! fabulous! :)

YUM! They look delish! how many syns in syrup anyone know? (golden)

i personally wouldn't use them, but that's not to say you shouldn't. i don't know enough about them. My doctor once offered to prescribe me something similar, so if money is tight go to your docs, tell them you're on SW and you're losing but feel you need more help and they might prescribe them...

i think bmi is kind of relative, im quite petite naturally, i've been slim before and i have small bones so BMI is a good indicator for me, and i do personally want to get below 25 on my BMI, but it's DEFINITELY not for everyone because like Madamlaminx says, it doesn't take into account muscle...

thats amazing, i'm going to look into those! thanks!

thanks for all your support ladies. no matter what i eat today i can't get satisfied. i'm having a cup of tea now, see if that helps! green day idea is a good one, i'm going to do that tomorrow! thank you!

i always said i was a size 16. i've lost 2 and a half stone now. i'm only just a 16!

at least three times a week i eat so much meat i think i eat a cow!! for a mix grill the other day i had steak, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage and gammon!!! i was STUFFED. i lost 6lb that week. follow the plan properly, give it some time and it really does work.

thats true!

thanks girls. i was thinking of a necklace with a starfish on, as that's my wedding theme too. the only thing is i don't know if they'd actually ever wear it. one of the girls is very wealthy so has a lot of very nice real diamond jewellery. the other two are more 'fashion' jewellery types. i...

it depends on what you eat, rather than how much. if you eat only three small meals a day, but they're full of fat and calories you won't lose as much as someone who eats three good meals a day and snacks healthily. if you're talking about SW meals, then you have to be careful because if you...

im finding it hard today. really hard. :(

Hey guys and gals my lovely girlfriends are taking me away to Ibiza in a couple of week's for my hen party! WAHOO! i have three bridesmaids (Jay, Kirsty and Dominique) and i want to buy them all a thank you present. but i don't know what to buy. i don't really want to spend more than £15 each...

awwwww hahahaha! that made me really giggle! bless you! i bet that hurt! i would of cried!

omg you all look gorgeous! congratulations to your friends. that food looks delish! :)

hahahaha! come with me thurs anna ;) oh, btw, the reason we're changing is your lady is leaving Anna, Debbie (our lady) is taking your Tues class and our Thurs class. you'll get image therapy with Debbie too :)

it really is! H2b done a BBQ last night and he made me those burgers, two ww sausages AND some Sirloin steak!!! soooo much food but sooooooooooo lovely! i scoffed it all! *piggie*

i dont' eat OR drink before wi!! i know it's bad but i've done it for ages now so im scared to change! weigh in is at lunch time though so that's not too bad!

what about burgers? Cheese and bacon burgers are like my ultimate dinner. we make the burger from scratch (extra lean minced beef, shallots and wochester sauce) and then i serve on a whole meal roll, with a diary lea light cheese slice (HeA) and two slices of lean bacon. then i add tommy sauce...

+2.5lb this week, like Anna im also pretty happy as i expected a 5lb gain as it's *week :) Ellebear - wahoo! looking forward to seeing the thursday weighers :)

well done!! how tall are you btw? i can't wait to lose 3.5stone! that's just amazing!

did you add the yogurt to the hot pan? maybe take the pan off the heat and add the yogurt after a minute or so, so it's not boiling hot?

wow!!! A stone in your first week! that's AMAZING!!!! good luck tonight x

this is how i did it. you could make it a lot lower in syns and hea's, but, i wanted a real treat and i can honestly say it was the best lasagne i've ever had, even pre sw!! The recipe: Serves 4 4 HEa’s + 11.5 syns for entire recipe Approx 1 HEa + 3 syn per serving on Extra Easy Ingredients...

WELL DONE!

WELL DONE! That's so brilliant! x

i am dreading today, but at least it'll be over soon! also, this is my last week as a tuesday weigher :( my class is moving to a Thursday as of next week. I'll miss you all Tuesday gang! x

WELL DONE! that's amazing! do you have before and after photos?

I thought it was fooking epic. Best TV show ever and best TV show ending ever. i cried too. i thought it was brilliant. <3 <3 <3 JJ Abrams x

awww thanks for that! x

yeah, it's just so hard to stay motivated when you know you're in for a BIG gain. it makes me fed up. but the pmt doesn't help either! thanks for those tips! x

i'm dreading tomorrow. *week, predict a 5lb gain. booo

So, i guess a lot of us have weight fluctuations over * week, last month i put on 5lbs (the week before) and this month (now) I'm expecting a similar gain. last month i lost 8lbs the next week, so i'm not worried, but it's still not nice to get a gain. does everyone else suffer? anyone know...

thanks that's great!

i am due on, so i am using that as an excuse for my terrible weekend! haha! Friday night i had a La Tasca (although did order quite well and didn't drink) Sat we were at an all day wedding. drunk TONNES (Pimms, White wine, Red wine, vodka and diet coke, champagne) and ate lots (including two...

Morning all I have pmt today and i feel like :cry: i am tired and bloated, i've put on 5lbs (which i always do over this time of the month, always lose it next week) my boobs hurt. i feel really fed up and i want to go home. i also want to eat the world and im trying so hard not to. no...

you girls make me laugh! haha! `

This is really interesting. i don't know what i am though cause i got 20 for column2 and 20 for column3. but i 'think' im more 'three' which is Balanced Sympathetic and parasympathetic influences. I'm going to look it up!

have you weighed just once? when i weigh at home the first time i step on the scales i'm about 4lb heavier, then i step on again and it goes down to normal. i then get on again and its the same reading as the 2nd attempt. home scales are a bit rubbish, the boots scales idea is a good one x

yeah just take lots for everyone, no-one need know it's healthy!

why can't you? that's just mean! haha! have a jacket potato and salad, and any chicken/prawn skewer type things. if you can stay away from the burgers and sausages that's the best thing (and any creamy things, like potato salad/coleslaw etc)

exactly the same. i would say 'most' days i have about 6 syns a day then on some days i will have more and on naughty days (like tomorrow, i'm at a wedding) i will have lots and lots! wahoo!

i've set up sky+! WAHOOOOO!

my H2B is really lovely and supportive but tells me he doesn't care if im big or small it's who i am he loves. bless him. he's lost 4 stone on SW so he knows all about it and cooks me lovely SW meals etc :) i do ask him if he'll still love me when im slim! he says he loves me regardless of my...

oh TOTALLY! that's like you read my mind! i find 80% of the time it's easy, especially if i'm prepared and im cooking at night and bringing left over's in for lunch etc. i find it hard when i haven't prepared and i go to tesco at lunch and can't decide what to have (salad AGAIN?! please no!!)...

i really don't know. i automatically went to say a size 10, but now im a little older (32) I don't know how im going to look at that size. i don't want to look old or wrinkly so i'll see how i go.

i got one of these free yesterday for referring a friend to my gym. what does "They bare frozen apparently" mean?

i know what you mean when you say that, i get like that if im fed up about money or stressed at work, i feel like the biscuit tin holds the answers! we all have our demons! don't worry though, stick with it, you'll be pleased on weigh day that you did! good luck xx

god i used to be so bad. in the mornings i'd have a chocolate croissant (20.5snys) from pret pretty much every day. sometimes i'd have a cinnamon danish (no idea on syns for that! i'd 'guess at 19) AS WELL! I'd happily eat a sausage roll and chips for lunch, snacking on crisps and chocolate...

this isn't meant as a criticsm, more of an enquiry.. but if you are worried that you've put on weight rather than lost by looking at your scales, why would you want to eat biscuits? i don't mean that meanly! i'm just intregied! i weigh myself every morning and everyone tells me i shouldn't...

some recent ones! Beef Lasagne (DELISH!) Steak, Sweet Potato and Veg Bacon Cheese Burgers with WW Sausages Sweet Potato Fritata

so, i adapted this a bit, but it was the BEST thing ever! honestly! here's my take on it.. The recipe: Serves 4 4 HEa’s + 11.5 syns for entire recipe Approx 1 HEa + 3 syn per serving on Extra Easy Ingredients 400g of extra lean beef mince 1 large onion chopped 4 cloves of garlic crushed 2...

i said that at the beginning of the month. i put 5lbs on. i was so upset. BUT, i was good the following week, i drew a line under it and started a fresh. i lost 8lb that week! so don't beat yourself up, you'll lose it x

yeah we can use them, they're 3 for 2 in tesco at the mo x

WELL DONE!!!! you really should be proud of yourself! you done soooooooo well! that's so hard to do! wahooo!! x

agreed. there is no way i'd mix my gorgeous crisp sauvingon with lemonade or soda! it's sacralidge!! i don't mind 'most' of the time, but sometimes i just want to chill out at home with a couple of LARGE glasses of wine. THIS is what i really miss

I think we think of 'eating normally' as being a bit gluttonous, personally. well at least i do! i think eating a bag of crisps, a bar of chocolate, some biscuits, some ice cream, lasagne with garlic bread etc etc as normal. and it's not. my slim friends aren't on diets, but every single one...

she's fine, i mean she always fancied herself, but then she was beautiful (pre surgery, and after the first boob job). She was good fun, we were 19 years old and having a whale of the time. i have nothing bad to say about her really.

i use BV in so much. on salads, in sauces, it's lovely! tesco/asda do cheap own brand ones.

ah i see! no i wouldn't! thank you!

WELL DONE! what a fab feeling! i've just broken into the 12's! I can't wait to say what you're saying and be in the 11's! well done you!

oh my H2B met Mr Eko the other week! i want to know about the numbers most. that's still puzzling me!

Finally found it! the perfect lasagne recipe! wahoo! i am going to give it a go!

i am going to try this too! great stuff!

i might make this tonight, anyone got any other lasange recipes to add?!

i am going to try this tonight. how many syns per serving?

i have one max a day. i figure if i wasn't on SW i wouldn't normally eat more than one a day so i won't when im on SW! you know?!

good luck! WAHOO We're doing well!

awwwwwww don't be so hard on yourself! we all have times we fail at things and make mistakes or go off plan and gain, it's just life! you can't beat yourself up over it. you should go to class, because if you don't you might take it as an excuse to be 'off plan' and put more on. try it for 7...

WELL DONE! How absolutely brilliant!!! xx

hahahahaha! how funny! that's exactly why im not going to get it done locally, i can't imagine mexican hairdressers will make me look how i want to look! i am quite good (if i do say so myself!!) with hair and make up, so instead i've invested in GHD's that work in Mexico and spent £250 on...

yum! i love patatas bravas! mmmmm

i lost 6lbs! WAHOOOOOOOOOO! *dances*

oh balls i forgot to look too! damnit!

Darius is a DISH! i love him! lucky you!!

i am REALLY pleased!! so so chuffed! :)

awwww honey, if you've been really good i bet you have an AMAZING loss next week, please don't be sad. i put on 5lb the other week, and lost 8 the next week!!! stick with it, it'll come off xxxx well done everyone, and well done Bev with your Slimmer of the Week! fabulous! i lost 6lbs...

WELL DONE!!! 5lbs is fabulous!!!!

awww that's so cute about you being excited to meet Ken Dodd! hahaha! how cute! i never knew you won that!! who was your boyfriend who Cheryl liked?! how funny!

i am nervous/excited! i really really want 1.5lbs. according to my home scales i've lost 4lb, but they're rubbish so i don't go by them, but i am hoping that means i have lost. *crosses fingers*

i get weighed in 2 hours time and im anxious, in a good way. excited. i REALLY want to lose 1.5lbs to get into the 12 stone bracket! *crosses fingers and toes*

i do, although i can't work out if it's nerves or anticipation! usually i know if i've been good enough to lose or bad enough to put on, but this week i really don't know! so tomorrow will be nervey!

hon, i know it's hard, but i think you'll be very happy next week! stick to plan and it will come off. i had a very similar experience recently, 1lb on and the next week 5lbs on!!!! i was soooooooo gutted. the next week i lost 8lb?!?! WTF?! there's no way i could of yo-yo'd so much, its just our...

OH MY ACTUAL GOD! That's the best!

Thank you thank you! all great advice!!! WAHOOO! :)

i dunno, i think im just a z lister (Quinten aside) magnet! hahaha!

Cadburys chocolate mouse are only 3 syns?! really?!

Hey i get married in Mexico in about 10 weeks, WAHOO! i just wondered if anyone has got/is getting married abroad and could share any hints/tips/advice!

i actually have lots! i used to live with Katie Price (aka Jordan) and her gladiator Boyfriend Warren (aka Ace!) I met Quinten Tarantino in a pub once! i think that's mega cool!! there are many more but they get a bit boring! those are my favourite two! haha!

that's ok, as long as it's the same every week it won't make a different! good luck, i bet you'll be pleasently surprised!

totally!!! i weighed myself on four different sets of scales a few weeks ago, on the same day, within an hour of each other without eatnig or drinking anything inbetween. EVERY SINGLE ONE was different!! some were more, some were less (some by a whopping 10lbs!!) so honestly don't even think...

Lowrygirl i think that really is an inspiration! i really hope that when i get to target i continue to go, because i think i'll need to. I've found I.T. a bit hit and miss, but i have to have the discipline of being weighed at class every single week, even when i've been bad and REALLY don't...

i went to the docs the other dya about my bad back, and the Doc was REALLY cute, only young! he had to prop me around whilst i was in my bra! i was thinking 'i wish i looked like kelly brook right now' haha!

i can't see that hon i will have to upload mine, it's so so awful.

i am friends with kevin adams. random fact of the day! haha!

i love reading these, it's so lovely! I've had lots of compliments too and it's so nice. being totally british though i never know how to take a compliment and just go 'oh i have so far still to go' haha!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well done that's brilliant!!! xxx

i went to a family party sat night and everyone had a takeaway Chinese meal and LOTS of wine and lots of profiteroles for dessert. i took coke zero with me and my Husband to be made me a SW friendly chinese (chicken chow mein, spicy chilli beef and rice) which i took with me and re-heated...

Anna really is a stunner, she's gorgeous! how did you get on at the weekend hon? i saw your email, will reply when things calm down here! bloody work! xxx

i loved Alias! Loved it! I don't think Jacob's brother is the smoke monster, i think jacob's brother is dead, and the smoke monster just used him as his human form, the way he's using Locke now. the smoke monster (imo) is bad and Jacob is good. I think Miles is still alive with ben, i think...

now i think when they are unconcious, just before they die or whatnot, they get a glimpse of the alternate universe, where the plane never crashed. that's why when we see the alternate universe, when something happens to them, they get to glimpse the island side. does anyone watch fringe...

Team Sayid for me. or Desmond. OR Desmond AND Sayid and a big vat of chocolate sauce. ohhhhh yeah baby!!!!! <3 i've been hooked from the beginning too, i am so sad it's ending :(

i LOVE lost, i can't believe it will be over soon! i am so sad! i think it's all about pergatory (sp) and i think Jacob/The man in black represent good/evil god/satan etc. I am soooooooooo confused as to who is bad and who is good, which i think is the point. can anyone remind me where...

i know you can get it from Nando's as a take away, but it's 1syn per half a cup, i think! (i might be lying about that!) but i would like some i could keep in the freezer!

thanks hon, it's something i've come to realise over time. i think we tell ourselves so often we're dieting that all we do is look for things we can't have. hopefully eventually we'll just not even see them and be happy and naturally be healthier :)

does anyone know where i can buy some? and how many syns are in it? or maybe a receipe for it?!

Margarita. no idea about syns, but worth it anyway, HEAVEN!!

I think for me, it's a different view of the world. like you i've put on/lost two stone, over the past 5 years, on and off on and off. but this is the first diet ever where i've ever even considered losing more than 2 stone! so that for me shows my attitude has changed because it's not hard on...

maybe that's why, but don't beat yourself up. with red days thrown in i bet you have a great loss! do you have plans tonight? if not, i'd go to bed early! hahaha! that's the only thing that stops me eating! have you had your two HeB's today? (if you're on red)

Home made burgers tonight! I AM SO EXCITED!!!! got a cheese and bacon burget (dairy lea low fat cheese slice as a HeA and homemeal bun as a HeB) with bacon and home made burger made from extra lean beef mince, shallots and wochester sauce. Mmmmmmm served with two WW sausages (YUM!!!) and a...

Honey what do you have planned for this weekend? maybe you could do weekly syns this week and have a bit of a blow out today, but stick to 5 syns a day for Sat/Sun and Mon? then you could allow yourself an extra 30 syns today, and satisfy your munchies! sometimes you just need to let yourself do...

i would love to know this too i guess the bacon is free (if you remove the fat) but you should syn the oil the sausage is about 6 syns eggs are free, but syn the oil mushrooms are free, but syn the oil/butter toms are free, but check if they're fried in oil or just grilled a grilled hashbrown...

i LOVE sausages, they're like my favourite food ever! the Joes sausages are ok, but not 'the best' the garlic and chilli ones are nice. WW sausages used to be my favourite, but they've changed the recipe i think and im not as keen as i used to be. i haven't tried the Morrisons ones yet...

i am usually a few days behind with my weightloss, so maybe your weekend away is catching up, but don't worry, when is your weigh in? you'll be brilliant next week :)

ohhhhhhh i do! i never used to, the first 2-3 months i was 100% on plan all the time and i could never understand why/how people went off plan. but now reality has set in and i do go off on one every now and then!!! haha! but as long as you get back on the wagon and follow it again, you'll be...

I just went for my first ever nando's! what a delight! I loved it! had half a chicken, plain with no skin, spicy rice and corn on the cob, with a coke zero! i loved every mouthful. I don't know syn values, i'm guessing about 5 for the lot? is that fair? I could eat it ALL again!

yeah i'd knock 6 off for the cheese for sure! or just flexi syn it and really enjoy :)

its morning and im craving cockles and winkles now. damn you lot!

GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i HATE that, it's one of my pet hates! the other day i was eating banana and grapes and a dude said something like that to me! i replied 'what? with banana and grapes? are you kidding?' and he went 'oh yeah i guess that's healthy' and walked off! i think some...

Raspberries and onions. not together of course!

the people talking about her sound jealous and bitter imo!! good on her for such fabulous losses. I lose well when i stick to plan (i had a month where i lost 5lb, then 4lb then 6lb then 4lb!) and all i was doing was sticking to SW 100% don't listen to them, and don't worry about your losses...

hey honey, i went off plan for a couple of days and put 5lb on, i was so upset, BUT, the next week i lost 8lbs!!!!! i do think sometimes the going off plan does kick your metobolism up the bottom! that's what weight lifters do, healthy eat 6 days a week and one day eat whatever they like, as...

mine was initially for my wedding (in July) and i just wanted to lose two stone for it. i have a LOT more than that to lose, but i had never ever considered losing it all, it was just too much to think of. now im on SW i realise i can lose it all and be slim and healthy and fit. i can't...

you just made me fall in love with you a little bit then! I LOVE buffy!!! YAY! don't worry about your half a pound, stick with it this week and try to ensure that you have LOTS of superfree food, especially on your plate when you're eating your main meals, next week you'll be dancing with joy...

that is FABULOUS and so well deserved! go you! i can't wait to see it!! xx

this thread made me laugh out loud! brilliant!! as for confidence naked, i think everyone is different and don't beat yourself up if you're not 'that way'. I am such a naked person, even at my biggest i had no problems being naked. infact, when we go on girls holidays my room (with whoever i...

thanks girls.

ok, i think i might be being a bit thick, but can you help me?! i am doing Red days this week, so does that mean i can't have rice/pasta/potatoes etc at all? or can i have some as HeB's etc? anyone got any favourite Red Day recipes theyd like to share?

Anna it's still great, well done you! have a look on my food diary, i do a lot of red days. I'm on red's this week x

ohhh yum!

what is champ? we're having a mixed grill. we have steak, ww sausages, bacon chops and lamp chops. lots of veg too. Mmmmmmm

Hey Hon yeah it was fab, had such a good weekend! i was good on the food front, not so good on the champagne/vodka/margaritas/caipriahana's! haha! but lost 8lbs this week! yeeha! :) they dressed me up as a hot dog! and a mexican! hahaha!

perfect! thank you!

don't be sad, i eat out at least 2/3 times a week and i lose most weeks (and i lose nothing less than 2lbs when i do lose) you just have to make the right choices. go for meats that are cooked without sauces. so steak, chicken, lamb, pork, or fish. ask the waitress to request not much...

awwwww honey i can TOTALLY relate. i've had a brilliant session of weight loss since i've started SW and i went off kilter a bit in April. i put on 5lb one week!!!! i was like 'WTF?!' BUT, the following week (last week) i stuck to red days and i was away on my hen weekend so did drink a lot, but...

I've booked The Big Mussel, it looks EXACTLY what we're looking for! is it near the Malmaison hotel? we're thinking of going there first for cocktails! thank you!

Contains unsightly images?! are you mad? you look lovely anyway! good luck on your journey :)

WELL DONE! that's amazing! i can't even imagine getting my 4 stone award yet! you are a superstar! well done you! x

I'd have either the sea bass or the steak but ask for it with new potatoes with no butter. looks delish!

thank you honey! i think what we're looking for is either something like a steak house or somewhere that does good fish? any ideas?

i put on in my 2nd week as i was naughty too! but then i stuck with it on my 3rd and it was fine! just stick with it and it will come off! good luck x

we're off to Newcastle this weekend (can't WAIT!) and wondered if anyone knew of any nice restaurants? would be nice to go somewhere a little bit special! but obviously, im on SW so somewhere that could cater for me? we're staying at the Hilton, any idea what that's like? x

looks like it! :)

mostly red if i want a big loss, EE for convenience and if i'm out socialising.

well done everyone. i am in shock, i lost 8lbs this week!!!! over my hen weekend too! and i still have two arms too!!! amazing!

7lbs?!?!?!?! what did you do cut your arm off?! that's AMAZING! well done!!!!! xxx

wow well done! i get weighed soon, im nervous after my hen weekend!
