What an amazing loss, well done. I am stuck at 3 1/2 stone loss so this has inspired me to put in 100% effort this week, thanks.

Just travelled on a Thomson flight home from Gran Canaria and the seat belt fits, comfortably, AND the tray table is flat. I love SW.

I am on hols All Inclusive for a week so have been trying to choose SW food and use my syns for the alcohol. I went to Florida last year and came back with a loss - it was a great feeling.

We all have our reasons for wanting to lose,weight so I keep asking myself, is that snack work it? Most of the time it's no. There is a wise saying "nothing tastes as good as being slim feels".

I love that you can download new songs. Kung Fu Fighting us hilarious.

"Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels" "Little pickers wear bigger knickers"

I put on 4 1/2 tonight. I did have a large bottle of wine at New Year and a large bag of M & S crisps (40 syns) - they were lovely! At least we are all going to weigh in so draw a line under it and focus for next week. Well done to all that lost and to those who were brave enough to go back.

This time of year is about damage limitation, attending class keeps it to a minimum. I went on Monday and had 1/2lb gain - I call these gains squatters cos they don't stay around long! Go to weigh in, you will feel better for it.

I have eggs at least every other day do they are still free but just make sure you have some super free veg with your breakfast - I have grilled tomatoes and mushrooms.

Well done, what an amazing achievement.

Do NOT give up, it will come off next week if you are following the diet. There is a girl in my class that regularly puts on 7 lbs on star week - it comes off the next week and more x

I lost 4lbs this week, thankfully. I had an operation to remove cyst and endometriosis start of Nov so have been v bloated and have put on small amounts the last few weeks.

Brit Mum In Canada who posts on this site has her own website called slimming eats where she adapts recipes to make them SW friendly.

I wanted a dress for my friend's wedding anniversary party and went into Matalan to "look" at them. My mum picked out a size 20 wrap dress and persuaded me to try it on, well I did and it looked good plus it was actually too big. I have been so chuffed since then and lost another 2.5lbs tonight...

You don't have 1/3 green, 1/3 red & 1/3 supefree for Extra Easy. You can have any food as long as it's free so free food on red OR green and you aim for 1/3 of your plate to be superfree. All food is synned at the lower value and you can only have 1 Healthy Extra A and 1 Healthy Extra B choice...

Please do not despair. I put on 2.5lbs on my 2nd week and was devastated but here I am 43 weeks later and 43lbs lighter. I do believe it's the body adjusting to the new way of eating. If I don't keep on at SW then I know I will just keep getting bigger and none of us will ever just wake up slim.

Well done you have done amazingly well and in a decent length of time. Stories like yours keep us all inspired.

M & S do a venison & red onion burger which is v low and delicious.

I made some pate this week with tins of tuna, cottage cheese, lemon juice and sprinkled with paprika - I did blitz it with the hand blender to get it smoother. It was delicious and I have tried it with a tin of sardine/mackerel in tomato sauce as it goes like marie rose sauce. I sat and...

WOW that is some loss, love fish but haven't eaten it religiously for a week but having read the results, will defo give it a go. Thanks for posting x

Another 1.5lbs off for me tonight and total is 40lbs - I never imagined that I would enjoy losing weight - I love Slimming World!

Me too for the 2nd one!

Apparently, ALDI do an ice cream maker ALDI - Sunday Special Buys 6th June 2010

I have size 24 jeans (new in Feb) which don't fit anymore plus a couple of 22/24 shirts and tops if anybody wants to PM me for details.

Gemma, 14lbs loss in less than 2 months is bloody brilliant - you need to give it a chance and not be too hard on yourself. Personally, I do not see SW as a diet but something I can stick to forever. We are in this for the long road.

I have NOT met my target for June. On the plus side, I have been on holiday for last 2 weeks and put on only 0.5lbs so very pleased with that.

I too have a lot to lose and it's stories like yours which give me the motivation to carry on with my weightloss journey. You look amazing, well done; enjoy your slim body!

You have done amazingly well, enjoy your holiday and strut your stuff :cool:

What a fabulous achievement, you must feel great x

Well Done all Monday weighers. 2.5lbs off this week for me plus I got my 2 1/2 stone sticker so very very happy:D

Well done, your loss so far has been brilliant.

I have emailed them to update the nutrition section on their website as it doesn't have carbs so we can't use the calculator; they haven't replied yet..... If you go onto their website, it does say what is in each dish. I love sashimi and raw plain fish sushi so that's what I stick to. Some of...

Well Done, that's a great loss.

1.5lbs off for me tonight plus SOTW and SOTM so I am very pleased. I weighed in on Thursday last week as I couldn't get to my usual class; I got 1.5lb off there too so wasn't expecting anything tonight. Nothing tastes as good as being slim(mer) feels!!!!

Dawney, How are you finding SW and Xenical together? I have lost 28 1/2lbs with SW alone and started Xenical on 5th May - I have lost 2 1/2 lbs since then :confused: on SW & Xenical. I feel that my body is taking time to adjust and will stick with it but do wonder if SW needs adapted to...

Great post, thanks for the links. I go to Zumba on a Tuesday so may also do one from home.

WOW what an amazing achievement. Sooo jealous but very pleased for you; what diet are you following?

Just registered and will have a good look, can see the 5g per 100g rule. Thanks for the link, hope it helps others too. It's a shame the doctors don't explain it better in the 1st place. x

Yes, I am also noting fat per 100g and total fat per meal. Things I would have had freely before, I am not so I am considering the Xenical rules too as well as SW. Maybe it will just take some time for my body to adapt but will keep on the site and try to stay positive. Thanks.

There is no reference to this in the tablet box so I am interested to know where 5g rule came from, is it linked to the number of calories a person should consume? I am not doubting it as the once I went over, the dreaded tango happened..... but there must be a way to work it out as we can't all...

Any advice would be gratefully accepted. I have been successful at SW but am attending hospital and need a general anastethic so need BMI of 35 (still a way to go). To help me Doctor prescribed Xenical which I started 2 weeks ago today and I put on 2 1/2 lbs at offical SW weigh in tonight. The 2...

Well done on passing your test and your impressive weight loss so far. I have been on xenical for 2 weeks on Friday and have lost nothing but am worried that if I have good losses at Weigh In, my group will wonder how I am doing it. What is your experience of this?

Know where you are coming from. I weighed myself last night and scales say I put on 6 since monday! This happened last week too but when I next weighed I had lost 3. Personally I will trust it and try not to weight too often. 13 lb off is amazing so don't get disheartened x

I have made it! Lianna - 6 LB -3.5LB Lost 2.5LB to gowoohoo Camille - 2lb - 3.5lb lost!!! 1.5lb under target! Jan (Mummoth) - 7lb - 6 lb lost so far Kate - 8 lbs Louise - 6 lbs - 8.5 lbs so far,!!! Carla - 7lb - 1.5lb off 5.5lb to go Isobels - 6lb lost stephie0611 - 5lb - 3lb to go Debs154...

3 1/2 lbs off for me this week. Got Club 10 and SOTW so am well chuffed. Well done Monday gang.

Great suggestions, I would love a syns calculator. Hopefully SW HO will take notice.

Well Done on your losses Shiny, you have done brilliant. How are you finding Xenical and Slimming World? I have been on SW since Oct 09 and started Xenical last Thursday so have my 1st weigh in tomorrow. Has anybody questioned your big losses as that is what I am worried about. Any advice...

Thanks for the replies. Watching the Syns makes sense - I will make an appointment for the docs this week.

3lb off for me tonight!! Lianna - 6 LB -2LB Lost 4LB to gowoohoo Camille - 2lb - 3.5lb lost!!! 1.5lb under target! :) Jan - 7lb - 2 lb lost so far Kate - 8 lbs Louise - 6 lbs Carla - 7lb - 1.5lb off 5.5lb to go Isobels - 6lb stephie0611 - 5lb - 3lb to go Debs154 - 6lbs FernXx- 3.5lbs to...

Well done monday gang. Put on 1/2 lb last week but have persevered and lost 3 lb tonight. Oh, nearly forgot, got my 2 stone award!!!!!

Kes, Do you find that Slimming World is ok with Xenical? I have been offered it and have not finally decided yet...

Me too, more or less same starting weight so that's a great loss in 3 weeks. I have been offered Orlistat and am 99.99% sure I will start it.

I have been trying to conceive and have lost 2 stone since November with Slimming World. At my last appointment, the fertility doctor offered to recommend that I can have Orlistat (Xenical) to speed up my weight loss - that would suggest the 2 are compatible. PS I have not decided yet but...

I tried the link but it is only for England which is a shame. Thanks anyway.

I bought Just Dance on Thursday and tried it today. I love Cotton Eye Joe and it's amazing how out of breath you get and it's fun!

Zumba is great fun and I have been doing that for the past 6 weeks and really noticed a difference in my shape. You can wear normal clothes and soft shoes and it doesn't feel like exercise and all sizes and ages go to my class.

Me too, I would like 6lb off in 4 weeks, 1lb off tonight so 5lb to go Lianna - 6 LB Camille - 2lb Jan - 7lb Kate - 8 lbs Louise - 6 lbs Carla - 7lb Isobels - 6lb stephie0611 - 5lb Debs154 - 6lbs FernXx- 3.5lbs to target.. lets go fatbunny - 5lbs meme - 7 lb Laura - 11 1/2 lbs Suelou- 4lbs...

WOW, what an amazing achievement and so quick - keep up the good work.

It's hard to believe that 34lb can make that much difference, you are right to be proud, well done!

Well done, you must feel great - I cannot wait to get down to 15 stone something.

1lb off for me this week, quite pleased as I was stuck in hotel for 2 days on business but tried to make sensible choices. I would like 2 lbs off next week for my 2 stone award so fingers crossed. Well Done to all the fantastic losses this week.

I was in Evans today and tried on my usual size and was delighted to be 2 sizes smaller (now size 20) so I am looking forward to be able to go into any clothes shop and be confident that I will get something nice to wear which is not the largest size. I have lost 27 lbs but so much more in...

Me too, TTC for 2 1/2 years and finally have been diagnosed with endometriosis but cannot get surgical treatment till BMI is 30 so I have a fair way to go. It is soul destroying and affects me in so many ways. So happy I started SW last Oct and am feeling so much healthier and am 3 clothes sizes...

STS but I have had full syns this week as it was my birthday and I had a couple of different nights out. Big effort this week as I am on a course with work for 2 days so stuck in a hotel; good luck to all this week.

I have very painful periods and have recently diagnosed with endometriosis but need a laparoscopy to confirm and remove - BMI needs to be 30 so I have a way to go!! I went back to doctor for different painkillers and as of yesterday am pain free whilst on my period. Sorry to hijack your food...

My weight did not go on overnight but crept on over the years. I too feel jealous, sometimes, but love how SW can be adapted into my life. You can still have a social life and lose weight. VLCD are good for a quick fix but are not sustainable long term.

What a great post, I am waiting to get my Club 10 (5 lbs to go) and I am going to measure myself as I can defo see the change and other people are now noticing, well done you!

Our C insists on 10 syns a day for everyone regardless of size and your food diary does prove that eating your full syns still gets a loss. I was sceptical that eating so many crisps would get a loss but you are clearly doing something right. Keep up the good work!

I am with you on this one, I have tried the low fat ones and all I taste is herbs so would rather have a "real" sausage and syn it. Thank goodness we are all different.

Bought these yesterday and hoped they would be low syns looking at the ingredient list, thank goodness they are or hubby would need to eat them. Marks & Spencer Moroccan Chicken Kebabs, 6 pack, chilled 40g each 1 Syns on Extra Easy Original 1 Syns Green 3½ Syns

It's my birthday on Easter Sunday so mum is cooking a SW friendly dinner: roast lamb, parsnips, carrots, yorkshires (2 or 3) and dry roasties - yum yum yum

I agree, it's all about planning ahead and making the best choices. I would do a Red day for full Healthy Extras - there is nothing to stop you taking low syn burgers and a cous cous or noodle salad (if you go down EE route). It's my birthday on Sunday so I will be following my own advice...

What is the spreadsheet like that your C gave you, it sounds interesting. Well done with your loss.

Well Done, what an inspiration to us all!

1/2 off for me, quite disappointed as I had 70 syns. Better a loss than a gain so motivated for next week. Well done all

Just back from WI and 2.5 lbs off so that makes it 1 stone 9lbs. I have 7 lbs to get off for my 1st Club 10 so full motivation this week. Good luck to all Monday WI :)

Tomsk, Your loss is such an inspiration, you have just about reached your goal of taking 1 year to lose all that weight. Well Done!

Chelsea, WOW, just noticed your losses especially week 1.

Well Done all. I was in Fuerteventura this time last week, All Inclusive! Put on 1lb but sooo pleased as I made very sensible choices on my hols and syn'd mostly for my vodka so SW DOES work.

Congrats to all who have managed to conceive. Keep trying for all those, like me, who are still TTC. We have been "at it" for 2 1/2 years and it does get you down. I have just been diagnosed with endometriosis which makes it even more difficult. I agree that dieting gives us all the best chance...

Thanks, I am going to update my signature to help keep me motivated.
