I'm loving the soup, but I love onions nom nom nom. The shake is ok, better than the Strawberry.

2 week weigh in one go for me. 6.6lbs for me, think the milk week really did affect my lose more than I thought it would do. But it brings up my 6st in 3 short months :) Leesy 18lbs (8.5lbs lost 9.5lbs to go) Sunday weigh in Emzy- 9lb (4 lost, 4lb to go) Tuesday weigh in 8541boo 14lbs (0lbs...

Just had milk in an instant coffee, was nice although a bit sweet. Will probably just mix the milk up with a milkshake later, or drink it on it's own. I like milk :) Yep that was from my brothers weddings. I decided that I would eat, and promptly came out of ketosis! 22lbs to go. I don't have...

I successfully made it to milk week losing 5st 8lbs in those first 12 weeks. So I thought I would have my good old favourite of a cuppa. I had switched to redbush during those last 12 weeks, but before I would go thru 5 cups of english/breakfast tea a day. But my taste buds have changed so...

Not a bad start for me in April. But I do have my milk week and not weighing in next week due to the bank holiday. Leesy 18lbs (4lbs lost 14 lbs to target) Sunday weigh in Emzy- 9lb (0 lost, 9lb to go) Tuesday weigh in 8541boo 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Monday WI xx sharnjit - 20lbs (0lbs...

I'll give it a go this month. I would love to hit 30lbs this month to give me 100lbs overall. I think 25 is more realistic for me however. Leesy 18lbs (0lbs lost 18 lbs to target) Sunday weigh in Emzy- 9lb (0 lost, 9lb to go) Tuesday weigh in 8541boo 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Monday WI xx...

I think that LLT makes you think about exactly what you used to eat. You are asked in the awareness module to uncover some home truths. You can of course be as open or as closed as you want to be. But I looked at exactly what I ate on a usual day whilst at work. It made me realise exactly how I...

But in a good way. I am currently in my 11th week doing LLT and I have had no problems with it. I have been around other people eating food, on Monday I was in MacDonalds with the family having a bottle of water and a peanut bar whilst they scoffed on whatever delights they wanted. Whilst...

Just completed 3 miles for Sport Relief :) I couldn't have done that 10 weeks ago!!

Just stick to the plan and walk. That's all I did. You may find it comes off slower for you as you have less to lose. But it will come off on this plan if you stick to it!

You can lose; 70lbs 10 BMI points and shed load of inches :) I feel so much better for it, and can't wait to lose the next 70. Third of the way there!

It's a normal thing for being on LL. It's because your body is running on a bare minimum and it considers heating the hands, feet, ears and nose as not necessary.

I did something similar in Southend last year. But it's only a half marathon distance. I have signed up to do it again. But I did check with my counsellor first. She said it should be ok to do so. But I would possibly have to have a meal which she would advise me nearer the time. So check with...

It's a quarter. But ignoring the maths I am getting there. The first week is the hardest, the second isn't a piece of cake. But after that if you can stick at it you will reap the rewards! It is worth every penny.

Go have a goosey. Total is 4st 5lbs so far. :D https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151307217545691.818615.529260690&type=3&l=93971f79e5

Well don

Thanks all. It's 4st in 7 weeks now :)

Have you tried Redbush tea. I really like that.

It's the little victories that help me survive this. Yesterday I wore a shirt I have never worn and I've had it since 2006/7!!! And it's a little baggy already.

Well done. That soup is one of my favs

I had to join and weigh-in 2 days early due to going to Manchester next week for work. So I lost just over the 3lbs I needed to hit the 3st in 5 weeks! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D :bliss: I am so chuffed with what I have achieved! I have also booked my treat at Rayleigh Retreat Spa for a facial. I have...

My advice is very simple and straightforward. No matter how crap week one DO NOT quit. Stick too it and you will be rewarded with a fantastic weightloss and it really does get easier!

Shake - Vanilla Bar - Peanut Soup - Mushroom Meal - Pasta Carbonra

Yeah I found that the 110ml of water wasn't quite enough.

It's been awhile since I have posted in here, and I thought that as I have completed a month it would be a good point to reflect on it. I have had my weigh in tonight and I lost 9.24lbs!! This has given me 2st 10.72lbs in one month! I am so happy with this, and I am really proud of what I have...

Carbonara is gorgeous. Annoyed that at my group we are limited to just 2 at the moment.

Thank you clairepbear. Thankfully my mum has come to the rescue and will let me borrow her car to get to class. Just got to walk to their first! Next car will be 4 wheel drive, or front wheel only!

Morning all. I want to do a bit of forward planning. Though I should have done it yesterday and gone down and got another weeks worth of packs! My problem is that coz of the snow that has just hit Essex I more than likely not be able to get to South Benfleet in my car. I love my BMW, just not...

So I am now on Day 15 of this program, and tomorrow is weigh in day. I am actually looking forward to it. I have been 100% on the diet. And I am happy to take whatever number that the scale throws at me. Unlike SW or WW I have no apprehension to what the scale might say, unlike before when there...

I can only echo what has been said before. I'm in my second week and I really really struggled in that first week. But after my weigh in and seeing that huge loss it motivated me for this second week. This second week has been completely different. So much easier. I am not hungry and the...

I never felt cold, but then I am always hot. The girls in the office were hoping that I would feel a bit colder. I would happily open the windows in the middle of winter!

After a tough old week the 14lbs loss was most welcome to say the least!

I like it. Hate the Chili with a passion. I got 7 of those and have one remaining. Had to force myself to eat about the last 3, just couldn't stomach them. I will be asking to swap this last one when I go for weigh in tomorrow.

Today is day eight. So i suppose technically I have completed a week. And yet i feel very down and not very positive about the whole experience.

I have cancelled all of my friends birthdays this year. I may also cancel christmas if i haven't reached target.

Ladies ladies ladies. I think the only way to solve this is to do it the man way. Outside now, lets fight it out! ;)

A problem I seem to be facing is the packs. It's like because my head still feels that it's feeding time and although the packs are palatable they aren't amazing. So this is when I get the cravings. I kinda wish that you could just take 4 tablets a day and not have to eat anything. Well that is...

I am on day 6 now. I feel fine. I am not hungry at all. But I want to eat something. I wish that all those occasions I did Slimming World had actually worked. This has become one of the easiest and hardest diets I have ever done. I don't want to go eat junk tho. I want to eat food that is...

A porridge that I may like!

Sorry but I will not be touching Porridge for a long time. I don't have any packs and will not be asking for any ever again. I love the shakes and the chili and shepherds pie. So all is good. I am on day 3 now I have not felt hungry and have just had a headache. Other than that I am good. I...

Sorry but the taste of the porridge with or without lumps was foul. But I did enjoy the vanilla milkshake and the shepherds pie. One more pack to go today.

Liked the vanilla shake I just had... tasted like the energy replacement shakes you get for protein gain after a work out.

Ok. So it is the first day of the plan. The plan I intend to stick to through thick and thin. Unfortunately, the porridge pack was so disgusting that I struggled to force it down. I know the counsellor warned me it was like baby food, but I had seen some feedback on here and the LighterLife...

I seriously hope the shakes are nicer than the porridge I just had! Yuck Yuck Yuck :( Thankfully black coffee is my friend! lol

Just had my joining session today. I start tomorrow morning. eek! Just ready to lose my weight and get a life! I've even opened a bank account to save up the money I will need for a tummy tuck. I never have been able to save money before, so this could be the firsts of many! Good luck!

Good afternoon to one and all. I am just back from my joining session. All weighed in and photos done. I start tomorrow morning, and have enough food packs to get me till my Monday evening session. Looking forward to starting this now. I currently weigh the heaviest I have ever done :'( What...

Are there any other consultants in your area that are close by? I seem to live within the middle of 4 of them. And I will happily go and talk to another one if I find I am not happy with my current one. After all you are paying a lot of money and should be happy with the counsellor you have.

I had to go see a private GP to have the form signed. But it has been done and I have the joining session this Saturday at 11. Eek! One of the girls at work said I would be shaggable by Christmas. Kinda direct and too the point I guess. But I suppose it is something I have faced my entire adult...

Yeah. Just waiting on the counsellor to call me back about where to go next.

My doctors has refused to sign my LighterLife form, it's policy of the practice. They are against VLCD and want you to loose weight in a more conviention manner. I'm sorry doc if I could have done that then I would have already done that. I am not a serial dieter by choice you know! Grrr....

Thank you for your kind comments. I am afraid this one won't be so deep and meaningful. I will save that up for later. Just back from the initial consultation meeting. Nothing really shocking in it, you learn so much from this forum and the LighterLife one. One small note of concern is my GP...

What are you scared of? It was a question posed to me by a friend. One that I discovered was meant to open up an inner dialogue with myself. Maybe I did need to take one long hard look at myself, and listen to what I had to say. Well I had been ignoring that voice for such a long time now...

I have my initial consultation on Tuesday, kinda scared about it. I've failed with slimmin world and WW in the past. Also wish I had kept it quiet and off facebook as everyone is throwing everything negative at me. Argh. I just don't know what to think. And I haven't even joined up and been...

I failed. Big time!!! I crumbled and caved, and then thought about getting back on the wagon a month ago and re-joined weighing the most I ever have. Gaining half a stone on top of what I started back when I started this thread. I had two good weeks and then caved and crumbled again. I just...

Thanks to all. Looks like I will be doing it again next year. I have a friend who wants to do it, and my sister is now wishing she had done it this year.

I have for the want of better word been rather poo on my diet over the last couple of months. Just kinda slowly put on half a stone. However, I have always kept up with exercise. Well last night in good old Southend on Sea I took part in the Moonlight Colourthon. A 13.1 miles wander round the...

Nope. It's gone to 4!

CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, PS3 games aren't rewards for me as I buy want ever I want. Granted I did stop buying that stuff during my revision periods for my exam. So postman will be busy delivering stuff to me this week!

I ended off plan for the last 3 days. Possibly because of that meal, when it certainly was the start!

Why do you need the 1/3 rule?! Unless on extra easy for the rest of the day!?

I did go Ellebear and it was one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time! lol

I think the beans were ok :) The rest not so good. But it was lovely!

Morning all, My parents (who are also doing SW) have said that I can't go out and meet my friend Natalie for breakfast down the local tea rooms. A nice full English Breakfast. Not that my dad stuck to his syns yesterday! 2 glasses of wine, 2 slices of bread ontop of his HEXB, a millies cookie...

Biggest Loser constants would have between 1500 and 1800 calories a day. Well the men would. So as long as you are in that range that should be enough I guess.

You'll be fine. I flew with thomas cook a few years ago and i weighed over a 100lbs more than you. the only problem i had was leg room!

ANOTHER 2.5lbs for me. Grrr... Aaliyah27 35lbs (6.5lbs lost 28.5lbs to go) Alilou21- 30lbs (3lbs lost 27 lbs to go) anna_vixen 42lbs (6lbs lost - 36lbs to go) Beki 20lb (3.5lb lost - 16.5lb to go) Belfastbabybear 14lbs (5.5lbs lost 9.5lbs to go) Berniegray242 18lbs (0.5 lost ~ 17.5lbs to go)...

Just had Tesco's Simply Cook Lamb shank in mint gravy. OMG! It was gorgeous!

I suppose that there is something to be said of Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony developing the Wii (shouldn't have changed the name on that one, revolution was better), the kinnect and the move. Got gamers moving, and involving non-gamers in on the fun. But I was playing bowling on the kinnect...

I would say I'm lucky, but lucky isn't the right word to use when you weigh more than the capacity of your bathroom scales. So I can really only weigh in once a week at class. I always seem to be able to avoid weighing in at the swimming pool. But I do remember when I was last on SW world and...

It also takes up to 12 weeks to gain muscle density, so I doubt it's muscle that is causing the dip in your weight loss. I think what it is is either lactic acid and/or water retention. It builds up after exercise to protect your joints.

As I stated above I blew my syn allowance out of the water on Wednesday and Thursday, and I did the same last night. I was fine until the evening and then I ate a chunky kitkat, 2 caramel slices, and 2 lemon slices. I had a great day, was gonna finish strong on 12 syns, every meal was ok an on...

The dorset cereals are a HEXB, that's the plain, the apple and raisin and cranberry and raspberry. However you have to have a ryvita with them to make it a true HEXB I think.

I was a little non-plused with this months recipes apart from one. the pork loin with sage stuffing wrapped in bacon

A friend of mine who has been supportive over the years of dieting starts and stops has this annoying habit of asking what I weigh now. He knows I weigh in on either a Wed or Thurs and so if he sees me on facebook at the weekend he will ask how much I lost this week. I'll tell him, he will say...

No idea I'm afraid. But it was a very short one IIRC, only about 10 episodes. Maybe they have to wait a year before the can get the rights for UK telly.

No it's not. BL11 starts with half of the peeps on the ranch and half at the resort. Sam works as a PT on the resort in utah

The last two days have been a struggle for me, mentally I suppose. I went over on my syns to about low 30s! Ate an entire packet of hifi bars one night and then alpen light bars the next night! ARGH!!!!!! I knew it was bad but for some reason I couldn't just stop myself! So today is a new day...

This is one of my favourite green teas Gunpowder Tea - All About Gunpowder Green Tea

I don't think one more will ever complete the collection! I feel that in the last 5/6 weeks I am doing well, ignoring my feeble attempts before that date however. But some days are still harder than others, binged on SW cereal bars this evening. Mindness boredom eating really. But for...

I think that is key. I just can't picture saying I want to lose 15 stone. But I have lost 1 stone of that so far. It's the small amounts for me, I want to lose every week, a couple of lbs will be fine. They soon add up. I will celebrate when I lose 10%, that'll be a shade under 3 stone. Maybe...

Well hello again. Been awhile since I posted on here. I have lost count of how many days till the big day, but as it's about 11 months I don't think I have to panic just yet!! I've been gyming and swimming in the last week. Completed W1 of the C25K and will be moving onto W2 when I'm next down...

2.5lbs off for me this week. Aaliyah27 35lbs (3.5lbs lost 35lbs to go) Alilou21- 30lbs (0lbs lost 30 lbs to go) anna_vixen 42lbs (0lbs lost - 42lbs to go) Beki 20lb (2.5lb lost - 17.5lb to go) Belfastbabybear 14lbs (4.5lbs lost 9.5lbs to go) Berniegray242 18lbs (0.5 lost ~ 17.5lbs to go)...

My consultant tells the women they can have up to 15, but the men are allowed upto 20!

Well I completed W1D3 today. And that if after my usual 70 minute gym work out first. Really pleased with my progress thus far. Onto W2D1 i go!

Excellent, well done.

I have somewhere a whole list of amounts a person earns and how much they pay back per month, how many years it takes them to pay it back or how much will get written off. It's a wierd system, because as a university we would need to charge the full £9000 just to have the same money coming in...

If you son is currently doing his GCSE then by the time that he goes to university then he will be under the new fee structure. So that completely re-writes the rule book. Min repayment is if I recall is still 9% but you have to earn £21k or £23k before you repay. The amount of debt gets wiped...

If you went out and walked you entire lunch hour then I would say that is plenty of exercise. But of course it wouldn't hurt to do more! Swimming is a good exercise, and c25k would also be good. However, if your weight loses has stopped I would be inclined to look more closely at what you are...

Nope! I always eat every meal, even on weigh in days. Can't see the point to why you would want to not eat until you have weighed in!

Season 11 is currently on in america, and they only have 2 weeks left of that one. Which is also Jillian's last one. I think they are starting Season 12 in the summer.

2.5lbs off this week, weighed in a day early too. Aaliyah27 35lbs (3.5lbs lost 35lbs to go) Alilou21- 30lbs (0lbs lost 30 lbs to go) anna_vixen 42lbs (2lbs lost - 40lbs to go) Beki 20lb (2lb lost - 18lb to go) Belfastbabybear 14lbs (2lbs lost 12lbs to go) Berniegray242 18lbs (0.5 lost ~ 17.5lbs...

I'm watching it too, and I saw it last year live. Why am I hooked to the biggest loser USA?! I should be revising, not watching reality TV!

For me the hardest thing is having the same thing day after day. I like to change it and mix it up. But I have been sticking to it and only one more day to survive. Dad said to me why don't you make yourself a salad to take up there. But I wouldn't be changing what I would be having, and lugging...

Well I'm saying I completed W1D2 even tho technically I didn't. I was on the finally 5min cooldown walk and the treadmill quit on me at 28min 20(ish)secs. W1D3 at the weekend I think, and that's week 1 done with!

342 days... Swam 1km this evening. :) I like my weekly swims, nice to do something different to the gym and I get to catch up with my friend in the steam room afterwards. Everything seems to be going very well at the moment. Happy days. Very pleased with this as I have been spending the last...

I'd the swimming pool a call. Firstly they will be able to tell you whether you will be allowed to swim in a top or not. And secondly they will be able to tell you what you could wear.

I think men may do it more for health than looks. But also I think we are less inclined to ask for help. Hence why we are a dying breed at classes.

Back in my youth I used to do a paper-round for 2 hours before weigh in. If I remember rightly I used to weigh about 2lbs less. Probably because of the fluids I had used up etc, but if I drank immediately afterwards then the body was holding more fluid than normal and the loss wasn't as big.

I had the urge to buy a new gadget, like you do. :) well boys will be boys and we like our toys! hehe Hopefully it will of use in the gym and whilst training for my walks and run I plan to do between now and the Brighton Marathon next year.

I have a part time job as a nightclub cashier. Currently there as a matter of fact. And im hungry, or the more likely bored hungry. I always save my syns and bring fruit and a yoghurt with me. But it never helps as I always end up hungry. But the way I see it if I have fruit or something syn...

Random people on the street, bikes or even leaning out of a white van "you fat *******!" they call. Although the guy who did that on the bike, who continued to look at me nearly got hit by a car. Darwin and natural selection almost at work. They are all idiots.

I've never ever eaten anything in a cinema. Never seen the need too. Maybe I just don't fancy paying those prices! But cutting up a cereal bar and maybe have with some peanuts or raisins from your syns maybe?!

You look amazing, well done!

I'm lucky in that my favourite meal of steak is easily done on slimming world, granted no sour cream and bacon pieces in the jacket pot!! But as for guilty pleasures; Doughnuts from the seafront Waffles with ice-cream The entire dessert menu of Tomassi's in Southend. There is like 40 ice-creams...

If that I don't dwell of the total I have to lose. I want to lost 15 stone. If I concentrated on that all of the time I think that I would go mad. Because as you say it never comes off quick enough. Pay attention to the little victories. Look short term at the moment rather than long term. If...

Finally managed W1D1 after 4 weeks of trying. Woohoo!

344 days and counting.... Off to the gym shortly for my first work out down there for a week. Looking forward to it. My friend and I are thinking about doing a 13 mile walk for charity on 2nd July. It might quite possibly kill us. My first event was going to be a 5k in August, but I'm starting...

I suppose my main reason this time round is because I finally realised I had had enough living in pain. Every joint hurts. It made me unhappy to exist the way I was. It certainly wasn't living a decent life. There are other more vain reasons, such as actually getting the girl. Rather than...

I tend to keep an open plan during the day and then in the evening it will swing one way of the other. For example I had a ham and egg salad for lunch. And had for breakfast 2 alpine light bars, yoghurt and fruit. Gives me the flexibility of staying red of switching to ee depending on...

I love mugshots. Great for when I wander in at 3 in the morning after work.

I don't have a charity in mind, but I will when the time comes. I personally don't have any connections to a local charity. So nearer the time I was going to offer to raise funds for a charity that meant something to one of my friends or family. Tho I will be taking part in a 5K in August for...

345 days and counting... Seems I can't count!! But I think I now it correct, although there is still a bunch of days to go! Only exercise I have done recently is swimming, as I have tried to give my shoulder and lower back a rest. Back to the gym on Saturday. Happy with weigh loss this week...

3lbs for me this week. Back on track! And I have updated you katoof Aaliyah27 35lbs (0lbs lost 35lbs to go) Alilou21- 30lbs (0lbs lost 30 lbs to go) anna_vixen 42lbs (2lbs lost - 40lbs to go) Beki 20lb (0lb lost - 20lb to go) Belfastbabybear 14lbs (0lbs lost 14lbs to go) Berniegray242 18lbs (1...

It's sweet, it's nice. But not my cup of tea unfortunately. Preferring todays slice more than yesterdays! Maybe lemon & lime more me?!

What you want is Braggs Amino Liquid. It's a vegan product that is naturally low in sodium, and yet tastes like soya sauce. Bragg, Liquid Aminos, All Purpose Seasoning from Soy Protein, 180ml: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty

I remember the withdrawal symptoms of coming off full fat coke back in 2001. It was horrid, shakes and sweats, headaches etc. Moved over to diet drinks at that time, and last year i ditched the coke as there was still too much caffeine in it. Now I just have diet lemonade/sprite/7up. But even...

Measure those healthy extras, it's a must! And don't forget to have your syns!

350 days and counting... No gym today as I wanted to give my shoulder and lower back a day off. But off out to work later and I will be walking in and back tonight. So atleast I can chalk up some exercise! Made chicken korma for dinner tonight. It was lovely. I probably prefer the butter...

Just made the chocolate orange one. My springform tin had a slight leak tho! Making a mess of the fridge, will probably get moaned at if I don't clear that up!

Problem is that feeling slim is a long way off for me, and chocolate does taste soooooo good!! I was doing my studies for my CIMA accountancy exams yesterday and got to the point on project management. I found a theory in there that is very applicable to weigh loss. It's to do with the fact...

351 days and counting... Another sess at the gym today. Mixed it up a bit, and my right shoulder is a tad sore this evening. Will have to watch it tomorrow, maybe lay off the weights. Eating wise I have been good, still got my HEXB to go and about 10 syns. Which is fantastic as I'm off to do a...

I'm exactly the same. After gym not hungry, after swim hungry. But the body needs protein after a decent exercise session, and the USA biggest loser have mentioned that the body is most receptive to this protein within half hour of exercising.

Well back from a very successful gym session. Managed to complete 6 intervals on the c25k week 1 day 1. Given that a week ago I only just managed 3 intervals. I can feel myself getting stronger with each time that I go. I've knocked 30 seconds of my 2km row, x-trainer duration is at a now...

352 days and counting... As some of you may be aware I have been struggling recently on my journey to loose weight and get fit and healthy. I seem to last two weeks! So after a bit or soul searching, and discussions with friends I have decided to give myself a totally mad (yet achievable)...

You shouldn't feel like an idiot for posting such things. I am going through the same things as you at the moment. I just can't stop from eating all the stuff I shouldn't. There is a need to identify the problem, break the habit and form a new one(s) in it's place. If you are struggling...

I do make more of the spag bol and the chilli freeze it and often take it into work for lunch or weekend meals when i'm in a rush. the junk food is in the house for the younger sister and brother who all they ever do is eat crap, granted i think ian only lives of one meal a day. the parents buy...

Thanks for all the advice. I am glad to say that I was 100% on the EE plan today. I cook masterpieces from scratch, always changing what I eat within the plan as I know I get bored with the same food every day. I do go to class, and stay to image therapy. But I feel that I can take it or leave...

All supermarkets will sell the peppermint tea. As for the tablets not sure, the larger ones would I guess.

No I don't feel deprived. I just have to eat, and just have alot of unhealthy junk food. And not in moderation. Yeah. I do have to find away of getting past this. One day at a time. Hope for a good day tomorrow.

I always seem to last 2 weeks and then I fail. Every time I have recently attempted to gain control I last into the 3 week and then binge. No matter me trying to draw a line under and starting a fresh the next day I just can't. Really starting to frustrate me deeply. :mad:

Product Extra Easy Original Green Simply Heat Chicken Breasts in a Sweet & Sticky BBQ Sauce, twin pack, chilled, 160g each 1½ 1½ 11 If they're nice 1.5 syns ain't bad!

I had a perfect day yesterday. BBQ was chicken, steak and salad. I avoided the burgers and as I had no Joes sausages I avoided the sausages and baps too. But I got in at 3 o'clock this morning and binged on 2 hot cross buns, 4 sausages, 2 jaffa cakes, and 2 penguins. Now I'm feeling guilty. Why...

Recovery times will vary from person to person depending on how much weight they carry. I honestly wouldn't risk rushing back (probably not what you want to hear). But you mentioned you swim however, I suggest that you swim whenever you can whilst your ankle is sore.

Lol. I almost feel I can join in with this thread. Not a husband, but a dad. So MEN!!! ARGH!!!! Don't get me wrong both parents are supportive about doing SW. And mum knows that she needs to lose a few stone. They both eat SW friendly meals when I or mum cooks them. The problem is Dad he likes...

I think I'll join in on the fun... :D Aaliyah27 35lbs (0lbs lost 35lbs to go) anna_vixen 42lbs (0lbs lost - 42lbs to go Berniegray242 18lbs (0 lost ~ 18lbs to go) Cindersmcphee 38lbs (0lbs lost 38lbs to go) Clareel 18lb (0lb lost 18lb to go) ColJack 42lbs (0lbs lost 42lbs to go)...

My current motivation is that I don't want anything to hurt anymore.

Throwing myself out of a plane at 13,00ft will do :)

My goal isn't weight related as such, but if I do it I expect the weight to come off. There is the colourthon 13 mile walk in July down Southend-on-Sea way. I plan to do it. 10 weeks and counting. It's a big challenge as I can probably only manage 3 miles at the moment!

For me the classic man would be Hamlet (well it is Shakespeare Day after all) Modern man would be Belgarath from the fantasy series Belgaraion and Mallorean As for the women; I can't really think of any I have fallen in love with, or gone "you go girl"

It was a lovely dish, can't wait to make it again!

I tried wk1d1 at the gym on wednesday night. I didn't come anywhere near half way, completed the 3rd jogging section and then the walk bit after but just couldn't go anymore. Next time I will try for 4 jogging sections complete.

I'm making it now. Can't wait, it smells lovely!

My consultant had the butterscotch ones this week. 6 bars for £1.95 and you get 2 for a HEB and are 3 syns each. So slightly smaller than the usual older lot. There are nice but no way near as awesome as the toffee and peacan

I rejoined slimming world on Thursday night and start afresh today. Unfortunately wasn't practical due to work conference and then a friends birthday. So today is the day. Also off to the gym in a short while, and swimming once a week with a friend. She is dragging me to that! Hope she doesn't...

Well done on using this to your advantage, motivation is often a very hard thing to come by and keep. Completely digusting behaviour by a complete stranger. But remember you can change your situation and you are doing so. You will lose that weight and be fabulous and thin. She will still be a...

If I cave I can't seem to draw a line under it and start back on it. I have to wait until the next weigh in. Thanks for you help guys and your suggestions.

NO!! It's my favourite one. But I don't buy it because otherwise I tend to eat all 3 in one go :(

I would say the pattern is boredom, but i'm never normally what you would class as being bored! Always have things to do. Mindless eating and a want to eat. I know that there is junk food in the house, along with lots of fruit and yoghurt. I want a cuppa and caramel squares. I'm not hungry or...

Last August I went to see my Docs with a bad back. He gave me pain killers and told me that I really need to lose weight as I topped the scales at 27 stone. I told him I was doing Slimming World and was gonna to succeed this time. Roll onto this week and I have back ache again, this time it...

An amazing story and one than I can completely relate too. I find myself back at the start of my journey, albeit it an extra few yard behind my starting line. You are an inspiration to everyone. It's stories like these, and good nights in class that will help me achieve what I know I can...

Sometimes people lose more in the second week than they do in the first, so you could be looking at a larger loss then. When I used to do slimming world at uni with one of my female flatmates she always gained or STS during her star week. It used to bother her at first, but she changed her mind...

5.5lbs off for me this week. Got my half stone award, slimmer of the week and slimmer of the month.

But at the age you are you will have your weight sorted before you hit your 20s. Do it for then and enjoy the rest of your life! Wish I would have sorted my at 19 and not waited until 32! I did kinda get on track when I was 22, but fell off the wagon. Sometimes these moments of self reflection...

I find Friday and Saturday nights really hard. I work on the cashier desk at a local nightclub. Unfortunately you get points in the night where boredom creeps in (like now). No matter how much fruit, yoghurts and alpine light bars seems to fill the hunger. :-( Everyone seems to have parts of...

Why chose failure when success is an option. Can't take credit for it, Jillian Michaels on her own TV show last year. But I like it.

Season 11 started in the states last tuesday. Two new trainers have joined Bob and Jillian. They have two contensants who have to have lost 100lbs plus each to be allowed onto the show!

I think you have hit the nail on it's head right there! Thanks to all for taking time to reply.

I always start with the best intentions but I get distracted and start back with the junk food and the chinese or macdonalds for lunch. Why do I do it?! I haven't succeeded at any healty eating plan since 2002 when I lost 7st 3lbs. But it has all gone back on and a stone more. I keep reminding...

Well I gained 4.5lbs at weigh in last week. So back to zero, can't see myself doing it now! And I'm still struggling to get myself back on track properly. Littlemissnaughty - 14lb (3lbs lost) Shrinking Bev - 14lb (lost 9.5 - 4.5lb to go!) Lurverick - 8lbs Atchonblimp(Xsara) - 7lbs (lost...

Well lets see what this week will bring. Back on it tomorrow. Just kicking myself that I didn't draw a line under Thursday and start again on Friday. Oh well.

Gained 4.5lbs this week. How?! I know I didn't stick to the plan this week. But still I can't understand how I managed to gain so much. The one day off which was last Thursday turned into a week. So disappointed in myself. If there was bad food in the house then I would be eating it now! Grr

On my last PT session I wanted to quit as I felt light headed and not well. He told me that in no circumstance that I should quit. Cut to a few minutes later and I've pass out! He is no longer my PT, and I feel it should have listened to me more. Not keen on the others that work at my gym...

I suppose when I look back at my 20s it was filled with examples of things that really should have pushed me to sticking to it the first time. The first time I joined slimming world it was because I was about to get lucky with this girl at uni. In the middle of it all, just as the clothes came...

All I have is a quote, and one that is meaning a lot to me at the moment. So much so I will be getting it tattooed on me very soon. It might not be to everyones taste. But.... "Why would you choose failure when success is an option?" And for those that watch The Biggest Loser or her new show...

Well done that's great. It's a great thing for all of us to be able to shop in the high street stores.

Chinese. Well if you can keep to boiled rice and then beef and mushrooms or chicken and mushrooms. 4.5 syns on EE

1.5lbs off. Rather disappointed with that unfortunately. Littlemissnaughty - 14lb (3lbs lost) Shrinking Bev - 14lb (lost 7lb - 7lb to go!) Lurverick - 8lb Atchonblimp(Xsara) - 6lbs (lost 1.5lbs so far) MrsMc - aiming for -10lbs _W1 -2.5 xGeordieGirlx - 8lbs QbeeWar- 7lbs- (3.5lbs lost...

not just the women are after him! his sausages are lovely!

3 healthy balanced meals a day and 2 snacks of fruit plus a nice bit of walking will see a weight loss. If you are on a budget I'd recommend calorie counting. If you can work out you BMR (google it) then you just need to aim to undercut that figure by 500 calories and you should see a 1lbs weigh...

Personally I don't, or perhaps I should say I haven't this time round. Previously I have, and my mum still does have weigh in night off. But she is more off the plan than on it. Guilt is a personal thing, I would have no qualms about an evening off the night before, the night of weigh in, or...

thanks for the heads up on cotton traders. will check them out.

Thanks maypole. It does seem the waiting list is long onthe nhs. A friend of mine cut her wrists last October, and she was on a list for a couple of months!!

Thanks for your replies. I will definitely check out the book. Going to see my docs this week as I may have osteoarthritis in my big toes, so will ask then. I am in the best frame of mind for dieting in 7 years. Just worried that I may fall off the wagon at some points. I lost 7st before and...

Does anyone here do additional counselling on top of the Slimming World classes. Looking at going to my GP and asking for CBT. Started to identify I have a problem of binge and emotional eating which I don't feel Image Therapy is going to address properly. If you are you don't have to into...

No Ria it's no my motivation. My motivation is my health, and wanting to enjoy the simples things in life that many take for granted which I do not enjoy or struggle to do.

Thanks for your kind words. :) I'm think I am a rare breed, a straight man that like to shop for clothes. Very depressing when you can't tho.

I want to get to 200lbs and then see how I feel about that. Doubt I have been that weight since 13/14. I was only 62lbs off that back in 2003, now I have 171lbs to go :(

I think I am quite lucky with my group of friends. They all offer support too me, and in turn I have helped them with their problems. I have this one friend who suffers from depression. When she broke up with her bf she asked for help and got it from a few of us. But it was a big wake up call...

I can't believe that so many of you don't eat before a weigh in! Even the morning weigh in crew! It's just a really bad eating habit. It's not as if it will make any difference long term to your weight, if you do the same every week. But by not eating you are putting your body into starvation...

Yesterday I went to the local "fat man" clothing warehouse that is near me. I was just going in for a new pair of black or grey work trousers. Unfortunately, they didn't have any that weren't part of a suit or non dryclean. So I decided to look at the casual stuff. I usually buy levi jeans...

I've been up since 5, didn't go to bed till 1. Mind is racing and couldn't sleep. Have some free food. I myself had two boiled goggas and a couple of slices of ham at 6ish, and soon to have the porridge before hitting the gym. Go for a walk, do something to get yourself active and away from...

Good luck, if you head and heart are in the same place then you will succeed with the plan.

Prefer the american one. But that may be because of Bob and Jillian. :o)

Lost 3lbs this week. Got my one stone sticker. Woo Hoo.

Yes. But as my friend liz says her shoes only cost £10 from primark. Not £300!

Lost 3lbs at weigh in. Happy Days. Littlemissnaughty - 14lb (2lbs lost) Shrinking Bev - 14lb (lost 5lb - 9lb to go!) Lurverick - 8lb Atchonblimp(Xsara) - 6lbs (lost 1.5lbs so far) MrsMc - aiming for -10lbs _W1 -2.5 xGeordieGirlx - 8lbs QbeeWar- 7lbs- (3.5lbs lost 3.5lbs to go) Nikkiruth...

Just the two. But you have to have a different watch for a different outfit.

Got my eye on a new watch when I get my Club 10 award. And another watch when I hit the 100lbs loss. I'm sure that there will be another one after that.

Yours had the presentation tho Bev! :o)

1 syn on EE and green, 6.5 syns on red.

They were giving them out for free in Chelmsford the other week. Got two boxes. Got guilt tripped into giving one to one of the girls at work. And polished off the other very quickly! Apparently the white chocolate ones are nice.

I'll join in too. I have 5 weigh ins this month as well. So I'll call 3lbs a week (hopefully!) Littlemissnaughty - 14lb Shrinking Bev - 10lb Lurverick - 8lb Atchonblimp(Xsara) - 6lbs (lost 1.5lbs so far) MrsMc - aiming for -10lbs xGeordieGirlx - 8lbs QbeeWar- 7lbs Nikkiruth - 8lb Terri...

I also have over 10 stone to lose, and my target is currently 13st and I will evaluate as and when I get down to that. I find it difficult to imagine and focus on such a large weigh loss, so I am aiming for more reasonable chunks. For example first up is the club 10 award which is just under 3...

I have an intolerance to onion, leek, and tomatos. It's a pain!

1.5lbs again for the second week in a row. Did go to a different class with the new card scales. So different than my normal ones and one day later than normal. Back to normal next week so will be interesting to see if scales give a different reading.

Although you may not notice the difference on the scales you should notice a difference in the shape of your body. Your exercise will be toning your muscle and giving your body a better shape. Inches can be easily lost this way. After you exercise your body will retain water to help repair...

Grate it and chop up some leeks. put in a roast dish and mix a glass of white wine, and top with 4 chicken breasts wrapped in bacon (don't forget to remove the fat) and cook for 30mins or so at 180. the only syns are in the wine, unless we actually follow the recipe and add butter and olive...

Our consultant tells us men we can have 20 syns a day. I tend to use my syns on spread, jam and ketchup. Not a crisp person, and trying to say away from the biscuits and chocolate for a couple of weeks.

All I'd like is a few more blokes in it. It's also a shame that we will never see a guy on the cover because it is marketed as woman's magazine. I always find the stories interesting tho. I do tend to skip by the makeup and fashion bits at the back of the mag tho! Don't think I need to know...

Every single year since 2002 I've been trying to lose weight. Next year will be my year!

Personally I could never go through surgery. I'd like to still be able to go into a restaurant and have a meal with friends, rather than just something tiny. Granted it would mean hitting the gym and back to plan straight after. People have had the surgery and gone to put the weight back on...

I did something similar to this back when I had lost 7st last time. I was house sharing with a bunch of students. They all had fitness weights so we loaded the bar up to be the equilavent of what I had lost. OMG I could barely lift it!

Maybe if you are slightly apprehensive about going it alone you could make the weighin a ritual. In that it is on the same time on the same day. Perhaps you could use the scales at your local Boots to get the print outs to keep. Maybe something different to work towards rather than just jumping...

My first weigh in after about 2/3 weeks off and I pull out a 4lbs lose. :D So 9lb down for the year. Time to kick it on now and do this properly.

I am going to rejoin my local slimming world tomorrow. I like the consultant, she is a lovely lady and feel that she is supportive and always has time for you. However, I find the group as a whole alittle too wishy washy. In that being the only bloke in amongst 30 middle aged (or older) women...

So the temp consultant saved your stone award to give to you at the same time as the slimmer of the week? Never known of it being that way round before! Congrats tho on achieving both!

Thanks for those kind words. Looking forward to re-joining slimming world. It's going to be hard as I have recently discovered I can't eat onions and tomatoes or yeast. I used to have onions and toms in pretty much every meal in the past!

I always find the introductions the hardest to do. Maybe not as hard as the realisation that you need to take control of your own life and do something about your weight loss however! Suppose you could say I have always been dieting most of my adult life. I have had the success (7st 2lbs back...

Good luck with your journey.
