Well ladies you have all been busy! Am not at home now so will reply properly to each of you later on. Just a quickie to say that I have called target. Am just into the twelves, about to move house and got stress and work and trying to do a degree, I follow the SW plan without cen thibking now...

Right. From today on I need to flippin sort myself out. 13.5 pounds away from target and I seem to be getting complacent. I STS on Monday, which could Jay be due to the starting of exercise so in fine with that. Then I went house hunting yesterday, and had a MEGA stressful day when we decided...

Hi spanx! Just had to comment about the C25K podcast. I too have always hated running but I downloaded the app and started last week and I actually loved it. Am repeating week one this week but hope to move on very soon :) Good luck! Xxx

Well woke up this meaning blusters throbbing and rain beating down. Determined not to stop my exercise regime, I went on the exercise bike, doing something similar to C25K, easy resistance for two minutes, then step the resistance up and really go for it for a minute and a half. I certainly got...

Fairly good day today. Feeling a little bloated right now but that's just due to a high fluid intake the last few days, I tend to bloat the closer to the end of the day it is! Just put a gorgeous SW cottage pie inthe oven, can't wait for that to finish off cooking :D Got week one day 3 of C25K...

Hello lovely ladies! Well done everyone on your losses...I am very jealous. one day to weigh in and my reliable scales are showing a 1 lb gain :( I feel so silly,this week started amazingly, was taking fruit etc to work in abundance, lots of meals that I has made in advance to just heat up...

Good morning ladies I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas :D I did, but yesterday had some sort of epiphany and am now more determined than ever to get on and stay back on track, I think 2 whole days of eating all that rich food is all my body can take, I was craving some fruit in the end...

Well ladies :/ I've ha my Xmas eve tradition of...wait for it...MACDONALDS! Eeek :(before, I had the train of thought that it's Christmas and Christmas is MY time of year and I had been so good, even lost 2lbs unofficially since my last weigh in, so I almost deserved it. Now I feel like...

Good afternoon ladies! Well done on the NSV's and the restraining on birthdays! Just wish I had all your willpower! I can't get to group today because of the weather and can't get there next week because of work so potentially I'm looking at like 3 weeks without going to group! Am very worried...

Thankyou for replying guys! Calling target isn't an excuse to eat what I want I know that, that's not the point of me posting this at all. And my head is still in the right place but I just can't handle the pressure at the moment - it's mainly pressure from myself though. I think I will wait...

Hi all, I need some advice really. I am 1pm off getting my 5st award which is fantastic and I am very happy with my weight loss, but I am struggling immensely now with losing any weight. My eating has not changed and I have another stone and a half before I get to my dream weight. But I have...

Good morning ladies! And congratulations Stacey! That's great news! Like someone else said - at least you can dress up for it now so the photos that will inevitably get taken will be absolutely perfect :D Well ladies I'm afraid I am here to feel sorry for myself, in having a 'fat' day, cannot...

Thankyou spanx! Think I will speak to my C tonight about it, explain everything going on & just explain that I'm worried that if I don't do this, the danger is of slipping back! And I definitely don't want to go back :/ I'm sire my problem is exercise so I am dying to get my new hours so that I...

Haha oh bless you, you are so kind! I have been thinking lately that I'm pretty happy at the moment and sw isn't the biggest thing happening to should I call target a little early to concentrate on other things and then lower it when I am ready to concentrate once I'm settled in my job etc -...

Of corse every little helps with the exercise...or at least thats how my mind works! The photos are on my profile now, complete with heads! eeeek! I thought if i was going to take the plunge i may as well do it all at once! I think in the next couple of weeks i will try and have another week...

Oh thankyou capricorn! You are such a sweetheart, the food isn't that much of a massive issue as I know my mummy will sort it tomorrow I think it just added to the stress of everything! I don't know what my dear family were trying to do... Make me feel good I suppose but in my head, when I'm...

Okay princesses I need some serious help :( I have been picking all night, I'm desperately stressed as I have no meal plan for next week (due to a mix up with mum doing the shopping we now have very limited food in the house until one of us can attack a decent supermarket) and start my new job...

Have these kicking around in the fridge and I reaaaally fancy doing some sort of cheesy pasta dish with a load of veggies thrown in and was just wondering if anyone had any recipes? I just really want something cheesy gooey and comforting! Thanks Xx

Ahhhhhhh! Just been text by my consultant and I was voted miss slinky 2010 and I didn't even stay because it's the anniversary of my nans death :( C has told me to be prepared for a photoshopt next week! Lol! Xxxx

Good evening ladies! Been quiet on here the last few days! Well done capricorn - you are such an inspiration! Not a strictly girl unfortunately - not much of an x factor girl, have been watching it on and off but am definitely a take that girl! I was five when they split and I cried for days...

Thankyou for being so kind ladies - I'm doing the exact same as I did last week so just hoping my body sort itself out by Monday! I did have a realisation of how far I'd come earlier - when I started SW I had a ring which belonged to my late nanny and I could just about get it onto the top of...

Okay so I KNOW everyone is going to tell me off but this is really getting to me...I just want to give up :( I always have, and always will on my journey weigh myself everyday, I know people say not to but it does help me. Anyway...this week alone I have put on two pounds...and it's only been...

Hey Laura I am sorry to see you are feeling so down but I know eactly how you feel! Do you do extra easy? If you do, success express isn't much different. You basically should make sure that you have 2/3 of yours plate as superfree, which logically makes you cut down your carbs which I think is...

Just a quick rant. I'm a little worried that after such a big loss last week I will gain agin this week. I intend to stick to success express most of the time now but j wa just wondering of anyone else has experienced a big loss and what happened after? Xxxx

Good aafternoon ladies! Well done girlies on your losses! I gained half a pound last night and I have to be honest I was absolutely devastated! I have been having abnormal results for three weeks now and have absolutely no idea why!I cried for a long time! But my C has dropped all the...

Oooh I hope this works I am replying on the minimins app on my phone - how technological! Hmm I know I do a lot better when I plan, however I will need to try to set aside ten minute to do that, maybe this evening after class...life keeps getting in te way and I know that is a rubbish excuse...

Hello you lovely ladies! I am feeling very positive and motivated after reading lots of your posts that i have missed! I seem to have slowed down for a couple of weeks, now this could be to do with the fact that i've had a few meals out which i couldnt avoid and even though ive still lost, its...

Morning All! clw10 - please don't be disappointed hun, you might not be doing anything wrong! it's a myth that muscle weighs more than fact, BUT when yiu do a significant amount more excercise than you would usually do, your muscles go into shock almost, and decide to hold onto as much water as...

Morning Ladies. Im afraid i'm here to feel sorry for myself, got WI tonight and i'm about 99% sure that I haven't lost anything at all this week and i am feeling so down. I just feel like this is going to be such a long journey, sometimes i just wish i could wake up and it would all be gone. To...

Morning ladies! Firstly, well done to everyone who has had great losses! Now I have to admit I am here for a bit of a rant...I have been nearly a flippin angel all week, been eager to ea my superfree, had a shed load of water etc etc. Done everything I should do. Yet when I sneakily hopped on...

Hello ladies, just a quick one as I am at work. I'm planning to make the smash pizza tonight, has anybody tried it or have any tips or anyreviews?! Xxx

Stacey, try not to panic too much, if you weighed yourself just after youd eaten the food you may have weighed heavier anyway. I know the morning after i eat a heavy meal i always weigh a little more, sounds silly i know but just try and be 100 % til weigh in and see how you go hun, good luck...

Ell I had a lovely meal out, I had the tagliatelle in the end but it wasn't absolutely swming in sauce and it didn't taste luke blue cheese at all so fingers crossed I haven't done too much damage! It is * week and I am in a lot of pain (sorry TMI!) so I could have eaten everything on the...

Aww thanks Capricorn, shouldn't really call him my OH as we aren't married, we don't live together as he hasn't had a job so we couldn't afford it, but now things may change. It's exciting but just scary, the thought of all that time to fill! I have to confess I am already an avid card maker so...

Patsy thankyou, yes it does mean it us working it just means that my body has got rid of the tension and toxins too quickly and that is why you experience what you experience. Okay today, big headache and a little emotional but that could last up to a couple of days! Apparently after I will...

Morning all! Dont worry i havent disappeared off the face of the earth, sorry i havent been around much lately! Just had an uninspiring breakfast of weatabix :sigh: i hate basically using both my healthy extras for breeakfast BUT i have just found a wonderful recipe for dinner tonight on...

Hey Capricorn! How are you today? Thankyou for replying...I realise it isn't the nicest thing to speak about on a Monday morning! :/ I drink about 6 pints a day of water or sugar free squash, maybe I should up it? I thought eating so much fruit and veg would have the opposite effect as to what...

Good morning everyone :) And Hello and welcome to tatws :) Well its WI today, not looking forward to it but i'll just cross my fingers! I feel very bloated this week and have been having um..toilet troubles :rolleyes: so i really don't know what will happen tonight! Sorry to lower the...

WOW! I am very proud of myself. I just had BBQ chicken, potatoes and a medley of peppers, onions, peas, s/corn, carrots and green beans, stirred in 2 syns worth of light phili and some fat free fromage frais into the veggies, it was gorrrrgeous! Think I might get my bum down to the supermarket...

Oh definitely Bev! I'm determined to have different veg with my meals as well...i eat tonnes of fruit and could eat salad until the cows come home but i have always always stuck to eating the same vegetables, i need to make them more exciting i think...anyone got any tips?! xxxx

Good Afternoon Girlies! First and foremost well flippin done to Louise and Sian! That's a brilliant loss girls! I am finally back on the computer so this can be a real reply! Capricorn - I am trying the honey glazed pork chops, fish and chips, the pesto cod umm...thats all i can...

Well girlies thankyou so much for all your support! I am feeling a little brighter now, just had lunch with some work colleagues, one of whom says she is also on SW and they all tucked into a quarter of a cheesecake and I didn't want any at all! They are all talking about diets and making...

Good morning girls! Got up this morning to go on the wii and just have no motivation! It's not because I don't want to, I've just had a lot going on and it's all got on top of me and I shouldn't have let it! I am so angry with myself I can't tell you, that coupled with a mega busy afternoon...

Evening ladies! I too am struggling today, funny that isnt it?! I'm just a bit fed up and tired with having no spare time at the moment...i'm sure you all know how it is! Dinner is now sw chips, peas and sweetcorn and chicken wrapped in bacon...had chicken the other day but i a...

Good Morning Girlies. With all my missions due in the next few weeks, the only moments i get are early morning really! Sian, sorry to hear you're not feeling good still :( sending lots of get well soon vibes your way! Capricorn - Well done on the wii! and your dinner looks absolutely...

Sorry I haven't been on today girlies, and this will only be a quickie! I have had the busiest day! Working full time and doing a degree means I am bogged down at work, have my final essay due in 2 weeks and have now just been commisionrd to do 130 placecards for a wedding...in three weeks...

ooooeeee! That looks yummy...and thats fro someone who isnt keen on jaffa cakes! xxx

Thankyou for all your support! Starting my exercise regime tomorrow, think i will start with 20 minutes everyday for one week and then up it to 30 in the next week. I am very excited and very spurred on by my loss tonight! Who weighs in next?! This is so exciting, i am so proud of everyone...

Well girlies, just a quick post as am on my phone just about to go for a little visit to the beach on the way home from class, will post properly later on, but I lost... 3.5 lbs! Don't know why I was so worried! Have decided now there will be no more stressing before a weigh in...whatever will...

Morning girlies! Welcome redfireangel, and well done on your weight loss so far, you have definitely got the brilliant positive attitude towards weight loss which everyone else on here seems to have, it really inspires me and spurs me on if i get a bit down! Well guys, WI tonight and i know...

Chelleb - glad you enjoyed your BBQ! We are having one tonight although mine will be enjoyed without a roll as I already had my Healthy Extra B with a yummy hi-fi bar this morning...before the BBQ had been announced! Hope everyone else is having a good day, slimlinetonic, im sorry you're...

Yay Capricorn well done! I think I'm heading for sts tomorrow and I don't know why :( it is * week but I've only done the same as every other week :/ I'm doing EE bit thinking maybe I eat too much pasta/potatoes etc....who knows! Plan for today iiiiis... Actually make it out of bed! Brekkie...

P.s. Sorry about the negativity :/ just having one of those days I guess! Sometimes losing the weight feels like an impossible mission! Xxx

Have any of them had big losses? I'm worried because I cam eat so much on EE that at some point it'll stop working. As I type that I know how ridiculous it sounds but paychologically...it doesn't feel like a 'diet' I know that is the point of slimming world but does anyone else ever feel like...

Hey chelleb! An afternoon in the beer garden sounds like a perfect way to spend it! I do extra easy all the time but you could do either, yes my OH thoroughly enjoys it! Although I have been very unimaginatibr this week with food so I'm hoping a new book from class on Monday will solve that...

I know how you both feel on the exercising in public thing! I am exactly the same. Although when i do my half hour everyday it will be before work at 5.30 in the morning so i dont mind going out on the bike at that time...not too many people to see me looking silly! What about swimming...

Yeah exactly, no matter what happens on Monday, next week is a new week and i have great intentions for next week so regardless of the result...the end goal stays the same and that what i have to keep thinking about. Thats a good idea, we could do one about exercise and ten maybe one about...

I'm glad everyone else struggles eating in the heat too. I have had breakfast and lunch i just havent really felt like it! Losc - the recipe is just the one off the slimming world website... 2 x 200 g pots of yoghurt (mullerlight is probably best) 1 x 500 g pot of fat free fromage frais. Mix...

Good afternoon girlies! Just taking a break from the lovely sunshine to come on here and see how you are all doing! Welcome Christiana! I hope you enjoy this group as much as I do, it's lovely to have support from like minded people! Losc - Well done! Thats brilliant! It is * week for...

Thanks girls, i was feeling a bit like a greedy pig having two dinners! Capricorn - wow, that how i want to be thinking! i just get so disappointed with myself when i don't have a massive loss and i feel as if im doing something wrong even when im not! losc - good luck with weigh in! you...

Morning ladies! Very upset about being at work today when it is so lovely outside! I hope you all have wonderful weather too! Got a busy day today, going straight from work to babysit my godson until nine, which makes eating rather tricky! But I have hatched a plan! Defrosting as we speak is...

Vening all and welcome slimline tonic! Well my lunch at spoons was delicious, and I was shocked when I didn't eat it all! Only ate about 1/3 of the rice that is with the chili and I'm sure before I would have polished it off quite nicely! I've been feeling pretty crappy and ill for a couple...

Awe thanks girlies! I'm just waiting for my friend to show up now so thought I'd post quicckly and then I can come back on later :) just a question, these recipes sounds gorgeous but what book are they out of? Hope you are all having a positive day, it seems so far so good :) xxx

Hey losc! Thankyou hun, it's just very easy to worry about having a slow weight loss just because of one thing when really 4.5 syns is a lovely low syn meal as far as eating out goes! How has your day gone? I work in an office and I always make sure I have some fruit to snack o. Because...

Good afternoon ladies! Unfortunately it's work for me today :( just came on here to vent a little bit about how much I don't like my job! Also to ask some advice/reassurance. I an going to lunch at Wetherspoons with my friend tomorrow. Now I KNOW wetherspoons is the food of the devil bit I...

I know exactly what you mean, finally being a normal healthy weight is a very scary thing! Even though i've yearned for it for years, when it's actually right in front of you., it's a weird feeling, so is finally taking control of your weight! Not that i am complaining, my losses and everyone...

I am chuffed although every week I have a massive loss like this, I get worried that if the next week is a pound i'll get disappointed. I'm almost scared of this 'lucky' streak working and can't believe that it's the efort i'm putting in thats paying off! Does anyone else get that?! xxx

Lost another 4 lb again this week! Well done to everyone who lost this week, and those who didnt, don't beat yourselves up! just brush it off as a mistake and start again :) well done everyone! xx

I know this will sound like im cheating but i was going to use this weeks and next weeks weigh ins for the mini challenge so this weeks would come off my total? Thankyou :) already feel mega supported by you guys! I'm sure you'll all do just as well, if not better this week :) xxx

5 lbs is very very respectable in two weeks! I knoq sometimes it doesn't feel amzig but a 1-2lb loss is what they recommend to be able to maintain and b healthy so you my dear are doing fine! xxx

welcome dudette! of corse you can join! slow and steady is a very very good way to take it! we've set ourselves a mini goal for the next two weeks if you fancy doing that too? xxx

4 lbs off tonight, never to be seen again! I am ECSTATIC! Got my third slimmer of the week in a row as well! :D did anyone else get weighed tonight? Xxxx

Yup, weigh in in 3 hours! haha i always get nervousbefore being weighed, i think i always will! Will let you know howi get on! xxx

well done everyone who has weighed in so far! i'm just crossing my fingers for later, have had a fairly good week, although never want to tempt fate by saying things like that and then i'll find later that i lost nothing! i'll let everyone know later on, well done again to those who have...

Ohhh sounds lovely! I had a boring breakfast, just porridge! But followed that by a gorgeous tuna salad for lunch! I know it sounds silly but I never eat anything too 'heavy' until I go to class and get weighed! I'm just paranoid I guess! Haha I'm spending my say off today on here too! Don't...

I'm so looking forward to my journey with you girls, you all sound so positive I think it's just what I need! I'm going to aim for 5 pounds over my next two weigh ins I think, that will give me my stone award :) xxxx

Ahh bless you :) I'm hoping it will be just that! Although most of the time weekdays are fine for ne because I'm at work, have my food routine and don't eat anything bad and fill my days with superfree foods as snacks etc but it's the weekends that get me, so I tend to have things that feel...

As you already know I am definitely in too! I'll tell you a little about myself, I've just turned twenty and have been overweight for my whole teenage years, the idea of motherhood in the next 5 years or so is lovely and working in a maternity unit I am determined not to be one of the "high...

Eeek go for it Capricorn :) this is the start of something good girls. We can all do this! :) xxx

Hey! Ohhh queen size is a much better name for plus size! I like that name! Nothing wrong with being girly! Ahhh lucky you! I can see you've been doing brilliantly with your weigh in, well done! What do the rest of you think about the name? Exactly, this is all about the support :) half...

Haha you've got me there! I've never been very creative with things like that! Anyone got any good ideas?! Weigh-in number 4 for me tonight! I'm always nervous on a Monday, regardless of how well I've done! What day do the rest of you go to group? Xxx

Hey guys, I think it would be great for us all to support each other, I know it would definitely be a positive thing for me! But I have no idea how to start one! Anyone have any idea?! Xxxx

I have about 7st to lose too, would love to be part of a group and have the support to go with it! People on this board are so supportive! xxx

I am so happy! I lost 3.5 lbs last night, taking me over my 1/2 stone awards to a total of 9lbs in 3 weeks! I have a long way still to go but all you who have had big losses are such an amazing inspiration. I'm just worried the loss will slow down and i will be disheartened, has anyone else...

Well done to everyone who has weighed in so far! Got mine in an hour and had a hectic week...stuck to plan but didn't write anything down and that make me nervous! Wish me Luck! xxx

Hi everyone! I am new here, just started slimming world nearly two weeks ago and i love it, it is so easy! Although in my first week i was very strict, weighed everything etc and did a LOT of cycling the weekend before weigh in but had only lost 3 lbs and it felt like a lot more :/ can anyone...
