I had a gastric bypass in December last year and I have since lost 8st. Feeling great and it's the best decision I've ever made but my fiance of five years wasn't keen on the new me and has dumped me.... My confidence has obviously improved but Im still the same person. Very confused. Was he...

Well today was supposed to be my WI day but the scales broke! lol, other half is fixing them tomorrow when appropriate bits can be purchased so have decided to keep weigh in til next sunday so it'll be two weeks weight loss :)

How demotivating. I want to eat EVERYTHING

I know my weigh in day isn't til Sunday but I've jumped on the scales this morning to find I've put on 2 of the 3lbs I lost last week :( p***ed off!!!!!

I don't like peppers so substituted them for some pak choi and some sweetcorn

I've no idea how many calories sorry hun! But here's the recipe :) ingredients: diced chicken soya sauce ... worstershire sauce onions mushrooms packet dried noodles packet beansprouts peppers chilli flakes curry powder method: boil noodles in saucepan until soft and drain cook chicken then set...

Using a slimming world (sssh) recipe for dinner. It's a chicken chow mein and absolutely gorgeous. Cracking for 11 pp x

My NSV for the first week of my WW PPs is I lost 28cm from various parts of me :)

Hopefully it'll give me some more motivation to keep going to see how much I can lose by then :) x

Had a lovely pointed kfc as we were on the move this evening. Don't feel too guilty at all :) And, I've also arranged to see some weight loss friends that I've met via facebook at the end of July. Anyone around nottingham welcome! Or around anywhere and willing to travel like me. I'm from Stoke...

Time for more soup!!! WOo! lol x

Each to their own I know but I'd have to smother that in holy amounts of butter and/or mayonnaise to enjoy it therefore not that low in points then ;)

My soup is such a success I've had to stop myself having some for breakfast! How is everyone doing today? Staying positive? x

Was it not a bit dry???? x

Alright crazies! lol! Just about to sit down to my gorgeous soup concoction. It's so good but I've made enough to serve about 90 people lol! My mum's a head teacher and she told me the dinner ladies are looking to recruit...lol. There really is that much!

Thats great. I dream of being fit enough to do that! Lol. I wanted to go walking again today but I have a bit of an upset stomach and don't want to tempt fate by being away from home for too long :sigh: lol x

It is! I've discovered I like cous cous! Lol! A hot and spicy one from aldi and its only 10 points for the entire packet and its yummy and filling all other positive things lol. How's your day going?

You don't know its there. It's just for its peppery flavour. i don't eat it in any other format. Yacky stuff lol x

Oooh I've made it before and its gorgeous. I put in butternut squash, carrots, onion, garlic, celery and tinned tomatoes x

I'm in an eating mood too. Not had anything yet but organised making a 0 point soup for dinner this evening so I can eat a bit more in the day. Maybe this'll work x

Thank you! I intend to but this week will be really hard. It's usually where I start failing :( NOT this time x

Monday mornings are horrible! Lol. Depressing enough to make me want to eat everything in sight. But no, because this is usually round about the time I start failing and this will NOT happen this time x

Ooooh loving the positivity!

Down is good! :) well done 5% is a huge achievement! Plus everyone says the slower you lose the more likely you are to keep it off! x

Sunday weigh in'er checking in with my first weeks stats! Well It's the dreaded WEIGH IN day. And Friday I went for a completely off plan booze up having already used my weeklies :/ BUT I'm 3lb down, I've lost 4cm of my waist, 5cm off my hips, 5cm off each arm and 5 cm off each thigh...

Thank you honey. Thanks so much for all the support this week. You've been a star x

Thank you! I'm so glad I measured though as I might have been put off by a 3lb loss first week (despite my consuming my own body weight in cider fri night) but the measurements have really inspired me to carry on. I've lost nearly a 30cm ruler! Nobody can complain at that in a week! :)

It is a really nice photo :)

Well It's the dreaded WEIGH IN day. And Friday I went for a completely off plan booze up having already used my weeklies :/ BUT I'm 3lb down, I've lost 4cm of my waist, 5cm off my hips, 5cm off each arm and 5 cm off each thigh!!!!! That's 28cm off my measured bits! And who knows, maybe my foot...

Sorry for the late reply. My computer didn't even get turned on yesterday I was that busy! Well It's the dreaded WEIGH IN day. And Friday I went for a completely off plan booze up having already used my weeklies :/ BUT I'm 3lb down, I've lost 4cm of my waist, 5cm off my hips, 5cm off each arm...

Hi and thanks for joining me. Nothing comes easily I guess but if we make ourselves enjoy the journey we'll be fine :) x

When you're in the edit signature section write what you want to call it (WL diary or whatever) then highlight it and click on the little world link tab and paste in your diary URL :)

Thanks name sake! x

Hello! Thanks for joining me. 24 is the best age ;) If it works for you, it works. I went to sw for a while while I was doing the ww plan because I preferred the group! lol! I haven't set myself a time goal, more I need to get from a to b and monitoring the difference x

Hi Kelly! WWPP is the way forward ;) I hope! lol! Good luck to you too! Any tips or discoveries give me a shout! x

I'm very chuffed :) But not celebrating til Sunday and it's official lol! Saturday I'm going to go round the lake twice! BOY I know how to enjoy myself!! How are you guys doing? x

Morning all! Hope you managed to sleep well. In a good mood as I eat my fruit salad this morning as I've sneaked on to the scales before Sunday and I'm 4lbs down ;) wooooo

Late dinner and bed. Bloody knackered. Who says all this eating right and exercising is good for you? ;) Night! X

Not even quite sure what I did differently but I'm not complaining ;)

35 mins!!!! ten mins off Tuesday's time ;)

Off to walk round a massive lake. Catch you guys later! x

It's a nasty existing injury from when I was a pro irish dancer :( Finished me and that was when I started putting all this weight on. I HATE MY KNEE lol x

I've done 10 mins as a tester, its swollen straight away so iced up now. See how I feel after dinner x

Lol, I fit in better with crazies ;)

I'm struggling with my knee but I want to walk around the lake again later so I'm testing my knee out. Probably just have ice it up and carry on. It's not going to get better with all this extra strain, but to lose the extra strain I need to use it. Vicious circle x

I can't see me working with Bob's style but Jillian would only have to look at me and I'd bloody well run! lol! I adore her! Ahhh that's why. Well, it won't take me long the rate I post at :) I'm particularly intrigued with you cos we're similar weights :) x

Both meals were utterly delicious :) Got some biggest loser playing on sky+ and once I'm digested the bikes being pulled in front of the tv :) x

Ooooh how unusual! :) Well done on dropping that 2st+ :) That's amazing and keep up the good work :) Yeah my diary is in the weight loss diary section and called Diet to lose repulsion :) Looking forward to seeing you there x

Got ya :) x

Lol, Because I had a 0 point breakfast of fruit salad, I'm treating myself a rather high in points (12) but very yummy pasta and sauce (chicken and mushroom ) :) x

Hello to everyone! It's lovely to have you here! I'll come and return the favour in abit as I've just nipped on while waiting for the microwave to ping! lol It's Sunday :S eeeek! x

Well, after all that "I'm not hungry" rubbish yesterday, I ended up going a bit mental! Lol. It's all pointed and good choices, but a lot of them! Today I feel like normal though so fingers crossed. Day 5 and still going strong! x

I have a link to my diary in my signature (very proud that i figured this out) so come join me! x

I have a sore knee from all the walking I did yesterday but don't think that counts ;) Lol. Thanks for drinks idea. Would never have considered it x

Erm 25 :/ It wouldn't bother me if it wasn't so many :(

I drink a lot of water every day but havent drank anymore today. Maybe even a bit less :/ odd! I've just heard horror stories about people not losing weight if they don't eat their points. I just want my first week to be perfect so I'm not disheartened if no weight shifts. Might just eat and put...

Amazing! And I see now you've lost 4st 6lbs! I can't wait to see the next photo installment! x

Well yes that, which we usually have about 6 but I'm waiting for from about 5, but I threw half my lunch away and it was a measured portion size. I just couldn't eat it and the thought of snacking on fruit even. I'm just too full. All I've had today is 2 rounds of toast a few strawberries and...

I'm not hungry. What do I do?!

Otherwise I just get bored! x

Off to read my kindle while on the exercise bike. If you hear from me in the next twenty minutes I'll expect a stern telling off! x

To be honest I downloaded the killer buns and thighs one *for free* :/ ssshhhhh x

Oooh just made my signature link to weight loss diary. Feel like a proper IT boffin now :) small things eh? x

I've got the 30 day shred, kill buns and thighs, no more trouble zones, banish fat boost metabolism and 6 week 6 pack. But I tell you, that 6 week 6 pack is false advertising unless it comes with a bacon slicer! ;) lol x

I'll just go and check :)

Thought I'd come and show you some love here as you' ve been lovely with me :) The shred I found was too hard for me at my current weight (and a stone lighter before) but it gives me something else to work towards and I will try it every so often to see if I surprise myself. I got a 5 dvd...

:bliss:found you :)

Definitely! The more the merrier! I'll go and find yours too :) Day 4 and still motivated. It's usually about day9/10 when it starts to go by the wayside. BUT not this time ;) x

Well eventually I will be running it :)

Thanks girls! I was just so shocked that I could have been SO out with portion sizes. I also walked round a big local lake yesterday. Took me 45 mins. I'm hoping to be able to start cutting that time down x

Thanks! I'm doing WW Propoints and walking like I've never walked before! xx

I could really do with a bit of encouragement. As most of you here have done, I've started different things countless times but I know this works and I know I can stick to it. I've not been left with much of a life due to my weight and severe asthma so I'm making one. Right now. Who is with me? x:D

Day 3 and so far so good! I seem to be eating a lot but very aware of my portion sizes. I was having 3 times more of some things (pasta, cereal, etc) and thought that that was a portion size. Jumped on the scales (naughty but necessary) and 2lbs down so something must be right. :)

Thanks very much emma, nice to meet you xx

Hey! I'm here! I've been a few times but I'm back and I'm doing it! As of today I have started operation diet to lose repulsion. My mother took a video of the family out for lunch yesterday and I was so shocked at what I looked like I just HAVE TO do this this time. I'm only 24 and am pretty...

I got the standard package for 99 with the monthly payments. It's just made me feel so in control already. Ask Santa! lol x

It's a calorie and weiht management system. It's an armband that monitors everything. calories burnt, steps, sleep efficiency. It's really clever. It also comes with an online activity manager so you plug it in to your computer and enter your food and it'll just do all the maths for you in terms...

Does anyone use it? I've just bought one and am entering into day 2! This already seems so addictive! x

just digging into some porridge :) feel so much better already. happier and more energetic :) surprising but true x

You can be our God! Lol! Well done you...I'm super jealous x

That's brilliant! well done you!!!! x

Well I hope you all realise you've just signed your life away to me :) haha! just weighed in and 3lbs down but pleased even though my first week should be more as I was a bit lax.... :) My facebook link is on here so come add me and we'll have a more private chat on there x

Hey I need help and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I could do with someone on my shoulder 24/7 (facebook, minimins, text) and I will do the same in return. I will lay it all bare and be completely honest with whoever I'm paired with and promise to give my all :) I have at least 9 stone to...

To be honest, I've done a million diets and this is the first time I've measured and it is just as motivating as the scales :) I might have been tempted to slack this week otherwise x

I'm smiling, honest :D

Well, it's wicked weigh in wednesday! Lol! I lost a mere 0.5lbs and was really disheartened, until I did my measurements and lost 2cm from my arms, 2cm from my hips and 9cm, yes 9!, from my waist! You really can't complain at that. Plus, that 0.5lbs led to my first silver 7 :)

My fingers are crossed! Thanks for the vote of confidence! x

I've stuck to my points every day but used all my weeklies on friday and am suffering a bit of guilt about it. I know I'm allowed but just doesn't feel right to treat myself so much... does that make sense? I'm dreading weigh in on Wednesday.

Aww thank you everyone :) I'm super excited as I can actually see a way of being slim now. It's no longer just a dream!

Had my first weigh in after being on plan for one week and lost 6.5lbs! :) Pretty pleased as eaten really well (as in loads!ha!) Only Over 100lbs to go....

It feels great! I was AMAZED that I literally woke up feeling ten times more energetic after day 1 of propoints! I'm just going to enjoy a humungous bowl of tomato and basil soup for 6pp :) yum!

So, I'm on day 5 of my first week on propoints and I had to have a sneaky peak at the scales to see 4lbs gone and I don't weigh in til wednesday. I know it's naughty but I couldn't help myself I've really enjoyed the food this week and 4/5 days so far I've struggled to eat my allotted daily...

I'm just a bit stuck as to what to do for main meals. Do I use a lot of ww ready meals or carry on cooking from scratch myself and just weigh and measure to control my portions?! Am I just being thick? lol x

Well, I bit the bullet and went to my first meeting last night. This makes today the FIRST DAY ON PROPOINTS! I'm pretty excited! So, I probably should give a little info about myself. I'm Olivia, 23 and doing a psychology degree with Open University and engaged to a lovely bloke called Ian :D...

Thanks everyone. My group is at 6 and despite being a slimming world group member for over a year, I can't remember being this nervous. Al though I am heavier than when i started slimming world.... eeek x

Oh...I usually get loads of support on here... perhaps this *bump* will help ;)

Anybody else? Any hints and tips? Anybody want a buddy?

Wow well you're definitely on the right track then! A stone in 6 weeks is phenomenal! Well done you!!! :) The more I read on here the more I can't wait to start xxx

To be honest, I've lost all faith in it and spent a fortune and am not willing or able to part with anymore money on the off chance that this time it'll be different :( It's so demoralising and demotivating that I'd find it mortifying having to go in there again. x

Thank you for the lovely welcome :) The phone apps do look pretty handy but I am going to classes provided I like the leader ;) My sw leader was lovely but when its not working for you it doesn't matter how lovely the leader is does it? Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but my hypnotherapy failed to work....the first 3/4 days were great but after that it just stopped. Good luck to everyone trying it. I'm sure it works for some xx

With all the diets I've tried and failed, including hypnotherapy, the only thing they've taught me is that I obviously have an unhealthy relationship with food. Has anybody had counselling for this or know anything about it to know whether it would help?

Thank you everyone. I now really cannot wait. It'll be 3rd oct before i can join....get paid the tuesday (27th sept) but of course the meeting near me is the monday so will have the money nearly a week before i can join! Argh! frustration! lol. :) x

Anybody else coming over to weight watchers from slimming world? Is this a good idea or am I just getting overly excited?! x

Any loss is good enough for me...but then you weigh a hell of a lot less than me! your 3lbs in the first week is great :) I'll keep an eye on you missy! lol x

Thanks Lydia, that's great! I've heard the weight losses aren't as dramatic in the first instance but that it goes steadily down. That's better than my on/off/on/off/on sw weight loss record.... :) I've picked my meeting and I'll be going on Monday 3rd October. So excited it's untrue :)

Thank goodness I can get back on the site today...it wouldn't let me yesterday afternoon at all. Can anyone else shed any light for me?

Exactly....I had to do it to find out whether it would work for me though, and now I have and have no regrets about it. It's just like another failed diet I guess :) I can see how it does work for some though :)

Thanks for the reply linz :) It sounds like its exactly what I need to get me on track :) Can't wait now :) x

and how much does it cost to join and per weekly meeting? x

thanks thats really informative. I'll have to wait until next month to join because the failed hypnotherapy has cost me a small fortune... x

Right....with sw I just kept losing that same stone and I know it won't change if I stick to that. I've just had failed hypnotherapy too... In what way does ww new pro points differ from sw? Does it control portion size unlike sw? The idea of unlimited food just made me eat much more than I...

Well, I finally hd my hypnotherapy on Monday! I'm blogging about it here if anyone is interested... Hypnotherapy for weight loss

Woooooo just got my appointment confirmed for 29th of this month at 6pm! So excited. This WILL be the day that changes my life! x

Wednesday, although this week has gone to pot.... :cry:

To the actual pound! So when is your weigh in day? x

Welcome to the 19s! Let's hope we're not here too long! x

Thanks for the lovely welcome :) will be happy with 2lb off on wednesday so fingers crossed :) x

Hello everyone! Lovely to meet you all. I'm sick of pratting about now so here I am 19st 8 and sick of losing/gaining/losing/gaining At the moment I weigh in wednesday mornings. Not a particularly good week but hoping I can salvage for a loss x

Anyone? :(

Hello everyone!!!! I've been to have my palm read and tarot cards done earlier today and as I was leaving we got to talking about hypnobands. He does them within two initial sessions with booster ones as and when. Is it worth it? I really trust him from having such a good experience with him...

thank you both for your support and advice. I'll try MIND now.

It's not for me, it's for my soon to be mother in law who in the last 18 months has become virtually unrecognisable. She refuses to leave the house, wash, cook, clean, iron, watch tv, eat or anything. She eats one meal in the evening (which she picks at), is severely underweight (gone from being...

Found you! Will have a read through and post either later tonight or tomorrow morning :) x

Kron my dear, I can't find it for looking but am very very interested :( lol sorry for being dippy. x

Just done my kettlebell training :) I know everyone is different but surely, the inch loss exercising gives you is better than losing a few more lbs but being flabby and unfit?! I know its an extreme to say this but I'd rather weigh 100st and be a size 12 then weigh 13st and be a size...

I'm nowhere near target but I understand where you're coming from and it's something I'm going to bring up with my consultant! Even stickers to say you've stayed within target for 12 weeks/6months/1year would be motivation enough for a lot to carry on coming. Personally one a month would be nice...

Poached haddock/cod :) I sprinkle some garlic granules in and leave it for twenty minutes and serve with some savoury rice and mixed veg. So tasty and speedy! x

This is a really good idea. I know from being on track before that I do have better losses when I'm more organised :) It's just a matter of doing it in the first place! Too lazy! Thank you for you help :) x

Hey everyone. This is just a massive plea for support and advice on getting back on track after a close family bereavement. I've been weighing in at group still but been putting on instead of losing, but its nothing dramatic and I know I can rectify it in a week or 2. I have to do it for the one...

Oh I have plenty of support on here, :) I know what a great tool this place is but I want people to exercise with x

is there really nobody from stoke?! :(

anybody around that wants the motivation and help (and can offer the same back) to a sw member with far too much weight to lose. I was doing really well but after a family bereavement I know I've undone everything. Their death may not have happened if they were healthier and he was so proud of...

Lost 3lbs :) How did you do sum? x

Wait and see!!! You might be surprised!

Have you even weighed in yet? :)

yeah, I weight 7st more than my partner...but it used to be 8st more and will soon be a lot less!!!! It's another target to set yourself, but not something that makes you worse than anybody else. chin up!

You too hun! I'll let you all know in the morning :) x

tonight...tues evenings x

Thank you girls! :) Sorry you're struggling cleogin but maybe it'll come off this week instead :) Let me know how it goes or if you need a big inspirational kick up the bottom speech ;) x

Weigh in day is tomorrow and in some ways the week has flown by but food wise its dragged. I've been tempted all week... had a mcdonalds coffee from the drive thru while other half had a cheese burger and despite wanting fish and chips soooo much after a 3 mile walk I opted for vegetable stew...

100% on plan yesterday with my weetabix and banana breakfast, bolognese for lunch and stew for tea with a twix thrown in for good measure. Starting to feel a little more positive but not much! x

You'll never be going it alone as long as you're logging on to minimins. I find this place invaluable, particularly since I made a food diary and got a few firm friends/followers on there :) If you haven't got one that maybe an idea :) x

Thanks for the reply sweetie. I've heard so many conflicting things about the artificial sweeteners in diet drinks that I tend to write it all off as nonsense. But yeah, healthier not to have it. Not sure I could wean myself off the sweetener in my coffee just yet though ;) We'll see what...

Hey everybody. Just a quick question. I always drink a lot of water but I probably drink just as much diet coke. I'm giving it up as feel it makes me crave other sweet things, particularly in the evening. Will this have an impact on my weight loss next week? x

We'll see. Making a stew this afternoon in the slow cooker with nothing but superfree food (and the majority is speed food too) so hopefully that will have a positive effect. With my being sooooo big I just think I should be losing it a little quicker. I feel like a house :(

I just want it to show my effort though....not much to ask :( Feel like rebelling and going madly off plan :( x

Majorly disappointed....1 sodding lb off, after all that hard work :( pfft

thank goodness! Poor little thing :(

Had a great food day yesterday :) For breakfast I had a bacon and onion omlette, mid morning I had a hifi bar and banana and for lunch a tomato and herb mug shot. Tea was a ww ready meal lasagne for 5 syns, a ww tortilla wrap for 5 syns, filled with chicken, ham, onions and salad and I ate a...

No, unfortunately not. The thing is, she wasn't on her own as people agreed with her saying that they were thinking the same thing! No wonder people grow up with such complexes about weight. Then again, I know for a fact her mother has had her on a diet since 8 and she's positively skeletal with...

Thank you. You're such a sweetie :) Have a good weekend x

If the botox isnt bad enough, idiots comment on the size of the child too?! It's really annoyed me x

:eek:I have just read the most sickening facebook status. I'm shocked. It was about the 8year old whose mother gave her botox... This is the status... "why is that woman in america injecting her 8 year old daughter's face to compete in beauty pagents!? if anything she ought to stick her on a...

Yeah, that 2.5 was definitely due to the jogging as I had 2 days where I went over syns and didn't compensate throughout the rest of the week. food wise I was expecting a maintain so was extremely pleased as it must have been the exercise which is nice and motivating :) Have you noticed a...

Cheers me dears. Enjoy your freedom and don't let that buffet (as lovely as it sounds) ruin the whole week :) Have you done much exercise throughout losing or is it just the food? x

It was haddock and turned out brilliantly... even convinced my brother's girlfriend to start sw :)

Excellent advice. I couldn't have put it better myself! I've upped my exercise and it upped my weight loss. I go walking and try to jog for one minute every few minutes and it's made me sooooo energised :) Fingers crossed for you and well done on what you've achieved so far :) Try and focus on...

Really in the zone...going to take the dogs for a short walk this evening and a long walk tomorrow too. It's giving me so much energy. Not sure what to have for tea tonight though yet :(

I literally just popped into a pan of hot water with the lid on for 20 mins :) was gorgeous. I did oven bake it afterwards for 5 mins with some red onion and mushrooms :)

HAd a hi fi bar for breakfast, melon and pasta for lunch and just about to have poached haddock and sw chips with mushy peas and pureed carrot :) mmm :) x

thank you! want that again next week :) hope you're well x

did well with my first day of couch to 5k and lost 2.5lbs at weigh in last night :)

It certainly is! I'm going about 6 down the canal so I'll make sure (if I can breathe) I'll come on here when I get back :)

I've gone from 20st 7 to 19 st 7 so far and the difference in my energy levels are immense and I'm dreaming about running at the moment so thought I might as well give it a go. Slow alk/fast walk is what I'm going to do at first and if I can up it, I ill, but not going to force myself. Thanks...

I'm all ready to set off this evening with my OH but I'm extremely heavy (almost double what I should be)...is it safe for me to run at this size?

Starting the couch to 5k thing today...I'm terrified as my fitness (and clumsiness) is appalling so will let you all know how it goes later x

Resisted the mcdonalds breakfast, or the oatcake special and opted for the hifi and banana for breakfast. I can tell I've been on plan or a few days now (this is the 5th) as my usually sluggish digestive system goes mental. That's all the info I'll give! Lol! Will be back later to update lunch...

Loving the dream updates too! ;) lol

Noone was more shocked that me! lol! You have a good weekend too hun! x

Todays food on my extra easy day! Hi-fi bar for breakfast (hexb) Half a watermelon for lunch 4 x coffee with ss milk (hexa) Dinner - chinese! 11 syns worth of a combination of chicken chop suey, chicken and mushroom, egg fried rice and mixed veg with garlic :) gotta get my superfree in there ;)

the thing is i didn't actually want it...it's amazing as i'd have given my right arm for that at one point. i really was a junk/convenience food addict. thanks hun. to hear from you every day is a massive help x

Yesterday I had another extra easy day. Started with a breakfast of 2 wholemeal toast (hexb) with baked beans, bacon and mushrooms - stunning! Then went on to have a banana and more chilli chicken noodles (think I'm obsessed) for lunch and a fat free activia yoghurt as a snack Dinner was a...

You are super organised and it's evidently working for you! My diary might start looking suspiciously like yours (if I can be bothered lol)! I love the fact you're still enjoying yourself and not letting sw rule your social life :) I just need to instill the fact that I do not have to drink my...

You're very lucky to have such a supportive friend. I asked my best mate to come with me but she didn't keep it up gor long...I'm not dropping bugging her until she comes back though! haha! I was a professional Irish dancer until I broke my leg at 15 and then in the next 5 years my weight...

I am back on track now thank goodness! Do you have a diary? Just noticed you replied to another of my threads. :) what's your sw story? :) x

Right, yesterday was a fabulous day that I thoroughly enjoyed! Extra easy: Hifi bar and slice of melon for breakfast, chilli chicken noodles (batchelors low fat) with a banana for lunch and for dinner, poached chicken in garlic with a baked potato and mixed veg. I synned some chicken gravy (2...

Being lazy today and going for poached chicken breast, with baked potato and mixed veg. Will be using half a syn on a butter bud to go in my potato and another 2 syns on some chicken gravy :) yum!!!!

Is that pretty much what I've said determinator? Lol, I've confused myself now!!! x

cheers me dears...and yes grilled oranges are the future ;)

Everything that is free on green and red is also free on extra easy. Does this help? Not sure I understood the question. Lol! Nice to have you joining us :)

*knock knock* looking for a new team member? :)

RIGHT! Sick of bitting about. Weighed in last night and have gained less than i thought but its still not good! May is mine and I will be at least 7lbs lighter by the end of it!!! Breakfast - slice of melon and hifi bar (hexb) and 2 coffees with ss milk (1/2 hexa)

Hey Lynn! I'm going to weigh in tonight in exactly the same position as you. Try a food diary, meal planning before you go shopping and only buying what is on your meal plan. If it's not there you can't have it. Another good thing to do is have a buddy who you can facebook, text or call before...

Thanks girls. I'm definitely going. That's not in question, otherwise I won't get that push in the right direction for another seven days :( It is going to be bad though. When I say off plan I mean wayyyyyyyyyyyyy off! Lol! I'm just so cross with myself as it so wasn't worth it :( x

Hey everyone! I've bitted about so much for the last ten days I could honestly slap myself! One day on plan, two days off... blah blah blah. I'm going to group for my weigh in this evening knowing I have gained 5lbs+. Once I weigh in, shall I look and allow myself to cry and feel frustrated...

Somebody at group suggested it... cut into quarters and sprinkle with sweetner wait for them to caramelise on the top and they are gorrrrrrgeous! Would never have tried it otherwise x

So after my weetabix and banana for my breakfast, I had chilli chicken noodles for lunch followed by grilled oranges. stunning! Not sure what's for tea yet though... x

You're doing pretty well yourself! :)

I'vr had my weetabix and banana this morning. Started May as I mean to go on!!!! x

Breakfast - bacon, egg, mushrooms and beans yum yum

pasta bolognese with mixed veg :)

You're in the right place and know what you're doing wrong so there's the first few hurdles jumped! I've recently given up diet coke and have found that has stopped me craving sweet things particularly in the evening. Do you drink pop? x

Thanks Cleogin! I've given up diet coke (bit of an addiction and I find it makes me crave sweet stuff if I drink it in the evenings) so will only be drinking my coffee with my hex a allowance and water. :) Hopefully it will work :)

I've been convinced to start a diary on here so here goes! Today will look like this! Extra Easy day! Breakfast - 2 x weetabix (hex b)with chopped banana and semi-skimmed milk (1/2 hex a) Snack - frozen forest fruits and coffee (1/4 hex a) Lunch - low fat chilli chicken noodles, frozen...

Thank you all! I'm always surprised at how lovely you all are...I think thats a veiled compliment ;) x

Well it's obviously been working for you! I'm a bit wary of doing a food diary on here as I don't take criticism well haha! It might be a way of keeping me on track though. I'll definitely have a look through some other peoples and see what they're putting. I'm sure I started one once and nobody...

Oh my word, I'm exactly the same. I just waffle on until I get through to someone ;) x

See I love KFC so that isn't brilliant! ha! I''ve got my bronze body magic award already and will start working towards my silver after next weeks weigh in. I bought a friend to sw but she bitted about with it and kept making promises to come and letting me down so I kind of gave up bugging her...

Sometimes it's just nice to tell someone who understands the plan how you're feeling about whatever is going on. Plus, I've always been bullied about my weight so I don't think I could talk to someone I "know" about it as everytime I've shown what my weakness is they've taken advantage of it...

I'm lazy! I hold my hands up and say convenience foods and takeaways have got me here. I'd probably say they were almost an addiction if that's possible! Oh to be be where you are! Lol! I've constructed a meal planner to take me through to next thursday. I weigh in on a tues evening but missed...

I've lost a stone so far and I need to lose another embarrassing 6/7 :( I mainly follow extra easy but really mucked it up over the bank holiday. How about you? x

Right, no more messing about. I want some tough love and I want you guys to give it to me! I want someone to text, facebook, message me on here and just offer general support. I will do the same as I'm great at giving advice, just not following it. I'm a lovely friend to have, honest!

God, aren't you lovely! Cooking the chicken, spinach and tomato curry from the new ee book. Well other half is ;)

You're right. Thank you! Just noticed what a star you are!!! Maybe my willpowers with your before and after pics ;) can I have a nosey? x

Yeah just this weekend :( I know its not long but lost all my willpower and focus, or so it seems :( x

Cheers. Definitely need more focus! Payday wednesday so shopping then and going to see ow many meals I can cook from the new ee book :) Just feeling sorry for myself :( x

Feeling awful after completely over indulging. I was in the zone for so long and I've just completely effed it up now. Argh!!!!! x

It didn't make any sense to me either, hence the confused post! Lol! But hey, it's working (slowly) and I love the flexibility and diversity of the plan. It was never going to be a quick fix but a lifestyle change forever :)

See, I have a lot to lose, so thought it would drop off, but its taken me 9 weeks to lose 14lbs.... I have a run of 3lb losses, then maintain x

Hey everyone. I got my 1 stone award last night at group and was told it was the hardest one to lose... any of you experienced this??? x

Someone mentioned these at group last night...was going to come and warn everyone. Just shows how much we need to check :(

Welcome...I find this invaluable :)

I'm 23, not long started sw (3 weeks ago) and weigh over 20st so pretty similar. Feel free to add me on fb or just reply on here :) x

Try my gllery...getting fed up now. Three different things I've tried lol x

Lol amy :) hehehe Here is where I scare you all with the horrendous picture that made me rejoin.... Go scare yourselves its in my gallery cos it wont show up here for some reason :(

I'll wait til tonight for the stragglers (ahem amy ahem) ;) lol

Oh yay...what I might do the fb'ers that I have got on my friends list is start an inbox to all of you...if thats ok :)

Aren't you all lovely?! I weigh in on a tuesday evening :) How about all of you? x

Lol! I'll inbox you then...I know the sort of people and unfortunately have some on my friends list too ;)

Thank you Suzi... I've sent you a friend request on fb :)

I need as many people as possible to keep pushing and motivating me... either on here or on facebook. I'm hoping I'll be able to help you too :)

Afternoon everyone. I'm Olivia, I'm 23 and re-joined slimming world on Tuesday. I hate my weight, have put my life completely on hold because of it and miss out on so much. But, this is my year. I need plenty of friends and support on here but I'm doing it. All the nasty things people have...

What a thorough reply...thank you very much for all the detail. I completely understand the thing about being shy when talking to new people...I'm exactly the same. Looking forward to getting more confidence. I know my weight is all that holds me back confidence wise. I want to be able to...

Amazing! How have you felt your loss has impacted on your life? What's changed? What's better? x

Thanks for the reply sian, you look like you've already done fantastically! Well done you! :) x

I managed to get back to group last night. Just bit the bullet and rejoined. Felt awful but I know it'll be worth it. Last time I never took my book as I didn't like seeing my weight written down so I'm forcing myself to this time, plus I'm going to fill in my food diary and fit log perfectly...

My health advisor has put me forward for this but she'd ran out of leaflets about it. I can't find any info on the internet so i thought one of you lovely people might be able to tell me about it since they offer sw memberships :)

NOT EATING really does put weight on! I've had a yacky cold for four days and literally have only been drinking locozade (only thing i fancied and have had a 2 and 1/2lb gain this week. Not letting it get me down though :) Big weight loss next week!!! Good luck everyone. you're all doing...

1.5lb off for me as off this morning. Bit disappointed but hey ho, at least its gone!!! Karen - 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Sonkie - 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Wicca303 - (0lbs lost, 7lbs to go) Kayleigh - 8lbs (0 lost, 8lb to go) CazBurt - 7lbs (0lb lost, 7lb to go) Downsizingmycurves -...

Hi everyone.... Went to group this morning and I am really disappointed with a 1.5lb loss... I know a loss is a loss but I worked so hard and have so much to lose....

My consultant is fabulous! I really can't fault her...She's so supportive, genuine and friendly and her groups are big with all the members mirroring her friendliness. She brings in things every week for us to try as well; as packets from things she suggests we try... I even get a motivational...

Can I join in please?! 10lbs loss for me please! Karen - 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Sonkie - 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Wicca303 - (0lbs lost, 7lbs to go) Kayleigh - 8lbs (0 lost, 8lb to go) CazBurt - 7lbs (0lb lost, 7lb to go) Downsizingmycurves - -7lb (0lb lost, 7lb to go) livi - 10lb...

Thanks...I know I'm probably panicking unnecessarily but I really need this! Congrats on your weight loss so far! That's fab! I'm just about to tuck into some melon :)

I can't congratulate you enough!!!! You must feel fantastic. I can only hope to be half as successful as you! Enjoy it!!! If you want to pass on any words of wisdom please contact me! I'm desperate!

Hey everyone! I've eaten really well this week on the EE plan yet when sneakily weighed myself this morning I haven't lost anything!!! Is there anything I can do today to maximise the possibilty of a good weight loss in the morning when I go to group?! :sigh:

You've done really well by the looks of things so keep it up and be my inspiration!!!! Is it weird that I can't wait for my WI on Wednesday? I'm so motivated I just can't wait for group!!!

Thanks for all the welcomes everybody! Really need some support and you lot seem great! Feel free to send me pm's and add me as a friend :) x

Thanks! Well sts this week cos I ate like a piglet lol! But back on track now big time! I weigh in on Wednesdays so I'll keep you all informed :)

Can I join please?! :)

I'm starting to realise that, since being diagnosed with depression, I eat as a form of punishment. I do it because I hate the way I look amongst other things. What a vicious circle. My doctors are appalling and offer me no help or support on any medical issue. Help!

Hi! I've recently been told to cut as much gluten out of my diet as possible which I'm slowly managing but I am struggling with finding gluten free healthy bs on extra easy! Can anyone suggest anything?

I've put a lb on this week :( But had a very bad week...just been prescribed antidepressants and all sorts but hopefully on the up now :)

Well done stacie! That's a fabulous achievement!

Well done to everyone who has weighed in today :)

I like that one devon dumpling... My God, I'm big enough now but if I'd carried on living on takeaways I wouldn't have anything cos I'd be dead. I'm 22 and want a social life and a family...God forbid any fertility problems or anything like that, but why, when I know the risks, was I taking them?

Well done cupotea! :)

this is great! very inspirational! glad i asked :)

I'd love to know...we could help each other! My fiance gave me my motivation by telling me to prove my bullies wrong... I want to be able to put the "I can lose weight but you'll always be ugly" line to good use :) lol

I've been overweight since I was 13 so by the time I get to goal (18 months I reckon, hopefully less) it will something I've never experienced while I've been old enough to care... I can't wait. Isn't it great to be able to see the finish line? i couldn't with any of the other diets I've done...
