Depending on what you want to do with it . I bought the argos cookworks one dirt cheap I think around £13 but great for slicing grating and whizzing to a puree. It's small so can keep it on the workbench. I use mine every time I am making soups casseroles etc I never ever chop anything by hand...

I want to go into primark and buy matching underwear in ever colour I can find. I look at all those pretty dainty sets with longing.

I had the same experience last week on the phone with an elderly aunt I'm very close too. She is as sharp as a knife so dotage isn't an excuse. My daughter and a few of my siblings are doing slimming world and are have had great success and she remarked on this. Followed up by the remark...

Weigh in today another kilo gone yippee !!!

Hi can I join in doing sw at home did it before and lost 7 kilos and managed to keep it off. Still a long way to go but hopefully in the zone now to chip away at the rest of it. In turkey so don't have access to the usual muller lites etc but at least there is lots of lovely fresh fruit and veg

I started the 5:5 on monday after doing 2 dd per week with good results have found it easy so far so will post my results next week.

Hope it goes ok but the scale doesn't tell the whole story we are in this for the long haul. My next goal is to get under 90 kg for Xmas. But as long as I keep dropping I'm going to stay positive. Good luck

I went back the the local shop with a loaf they overcharged by 68p and told them it was the 4th time since the beginning of the month I had to challenge a bill. Yes its a dd but sick to the teeth of having to check every purchase. Its the only shop in the village so can't vote with my feet. I...

Hi hanna have been sitting on the sidelines reading from your diary and cheering you along. I have been juddding about the same time and have lost around 10 kgs. Just noticed your from my part of the world. So thought I would say hello

I also having trying with 3 dd a week and can agree on the inches loss against the scale. My husband and I are doing it together and we both agree we feel brillant and are delighted to now be wearing clothes we could only look at in the wardrobe. Give a go and good luck with it.

Hi Boncuk I also live near to Kusadasi and I find it quite easy here to chose healthy options. When I am back in Ireland I find it so restricting with the rubbish fruit and veg we have at mad prices. Trying to cal count at the minute and doing ok.

So delighted got into a dress I havent worn in a lifetime.

Not strictly a weigh in but found a note of my measurements from last year and have lost 6-7 inches off all areas. I am so over the moon. Means I haven't been as undisciplined as I thought this year. Only starting juddding a few weeks ago as had been dabbling with SW and CC but am feeling so...

I have been browsing for quite a while now and enjoying your posts. I have been calorie counting for about 5 weeks and on juddd after Michael Moselys programme. Its going fine and I am enjoying it. The OH is on board as well so making it a lot simpler. I am heading back to Turkey for 8 weeks so...

Thanks ally I'm hoping that feeling low today as can barely put my weight on it will just try to rest it for a few days and see what happens. Disgusted as we have borrowed my daughters wee dog and we were all enjoying the walk. Hubby will just have to go himself today with max.

Well things going quite well on the food front and was feeling quite confident. Starting walking on Monday and had managed 45 min each day but last night knee swelled up and I am in agony so no walking today. Really disapointed!! Hopefully will be down tomor. I think I am going to have to start...

I have finally seen the light I hope,after many attempts. I have to do this. I am suffering now from chronic pain in my knees and my mobility is suffering. In all the years of being over weight I have never felt so unfit. I could have kept up with the best of people. But this past 6 mths have...

Wore a new pair of fitted size 18 trousers on mon night plus a new pair of high heeled shoes first time in 5 years. Felt really good roll on size 16

I went to matalan yesterday to get a few things what a palaver in and out of changing rooms finally decided on a pair of trousers which were a lovely fit but a devil to find as only a 27 leg and 3 tops two of which were on offer at £10 for two only to be charged £7 for each of the them at till...

Just weighed in and have hit the 15s so delighted haven't seen that figure in years. I really feel I can do this. Hubby doing really well also. Going back to Turkey on the 14th May so would like to have some more off for then. Thanks for all the support here it's fab xxx

I think you look fab. I wouldn't like to see you with another 50 off. A 32" waist is very slim especially at your height. Sometimes I think these charts are very misleading. If you are happy at what you are why not maintain for a while and see how it goes? Well done you are an inspiration

Made this and was delighted with it. It really livens up cheese and ryvita. Thanks for the recipe

I have always loved garlic stuffed mussels so adapted them for SW. Use the cooked mussel meat from Tesco/Asda.Costs around a £1. Usually next to crab sticks, Fill a ramikan with the mussels and make breadcrumbs with one slice of brown nimble add chopped garlic to the crumbs depending on personal...

I eat them 4 times a week and have had no difficulty a steady 2lb every week

If you make sure to bring it to a rolling boil everyday you can keep on using it. Bacteria never gets a chance to form so stays fresh.

Well done what an amazing achievement
