I love all the before and after photos - you all look so different.

Flipping heck - you have lost an unbelievable amount of weight - you look amazing.

WOW - you look fantastic. What an inspiration. Well done.

I'm still looking for mine. I have a husband who loves puddings and although he does try to support me when I am trying to lose weight, he also almost paces the floor if there is no pudding to eat after dinner - it is really hard for me and I fall off the wagon constantly. I think I have lost...

Wow Slendababe - what a difference, you look fabulous.

Hi Guys Well that's first day over and it went well. Not hungry at moment, but then hunger is not my problem - simply wanting to eat the food is. I see something I fancy and then, boom, next thing I'm chewing it and swallowing it and it's all over!!!! :( So, I have come up with a new master...

Hi Melissa I'm in the same boat as you. I was supposed to start on the VLCD on the 1st. Lasted until around 2pm! Started again next day, same thing at which point I said I would leave it until today when back in work. So far so good. I am a bit hungry, but there is nothing here to eat so...

Sorry to see you are feeling ill Rachel, hopefully you will feel better soon. Had a look at your photos - fantastic weight loss, you look fab :).

mmmm yummee!!!!!!

Ah, I know the Cheshire Cat well. My sister used to live near there in days gone by - in fact both sisters have lived at up there at one time or another. I was very young when I lived on Exeter Road - just 20 and a single parent - it was typically the place where the Council shoved single...

Hi Cheryl I'm in Hazel Grove. Not that far from you as the crow flies. I used to live in Brinny when I was younger - in the flats behind the shops on the main road - Exeter Road, opposite the police station that is no longer there. I don't think the flats are either any more. Whereabouts...

Hi all I remember being caught up in a bit of an argument some years back with a guy over a parking space. We had both gone for it at the same time and he was just so rude I would not back down - if he had asked me nicely I would have moved. Anyway, he was in the chemist where I was going and...

Well done Cherry. I do agree with you about the diet industry to an extent and I can see that you appear to have opened a can of worms with your posts. Hey ho, different strokes for different folks I say. Whatever works, works. Some people need the structure of a diet class/plan and some...

:superwoman:What a fabulous weight loss - absolutely stupendous. I am verrrrry impressed. The other 82lb will seem like childs play now.

Wow, sounds like you are really motivated Emski. Good for you - go girl. I've had a hard 2-3 weeks lately, as I have been working away and it is really, really hard to eat properly when away. I have tried hard to stick to SW, but have failed a couple of times - the outcome of which has been...

I think I saw the advert you are all talking about, but I tend to watch ads with only half and eye and if possible I use my Vbox (where you can record live tv) and put it on hold while I brew up or do something else and then fast forward through them. I do agree with Emski though the x-factor...

Oh poor you. Your day sounds like a complete nightmare. I couldn't cope with 5 children let alone 50. Some mums these days just want an easy life don't they - let someone else sort out the party, make the food, play the games, etc and 50 guests at a child's birthday party is just a little...

You look great - it took me two looks at the piccie to realise that both girls were you - duh!

That made me laugh. It does sort of make you squirm a bit when you do that sort of thing doesn't it. How embarrassed would you have been if he had stood up and said 'oi, shut it I'm her dad':giggle:

Thanks for these recipes, they sound delish. :thankyou:

Hhmmmm yummy - I don't think it will be that long until I make this one. Ta for that.:thankyou:

Ooh, re shrinking - depends how old you are I suppose and you don't look that old from your photo. I'm 51 and have osteo-arthritis in my back, which I think is the cause of my shrinkage, but I think we all do shrink a bit as we get older. 1.5" is quite a lot though when you are younger. Get...

Have you noticed though that when they have to pay for it themselves they don't seem to use half as much and/or buy the top market brands that they like to use so much when we are paying. Mine used to moan if I bought supermarkets own make, though I am sure that's what she buys now. My...

Oh, it is only syn free if served as it is. If you have rice with it you need to count it as normal.

Not sure if this recipe has already been posted, but never mind if it has. It is from the free booklet that came with a SW mag recently. Chicken Jalfrezi - for 4, syn free 4 chicken breasts 1 onion 1 red and 1 yellow pepper 2 garlic cloves 1 inch of fresh root ginger Fry light 1 tablespoon...

Toilet roll usage - we used to go through about 12+ rolls a week when my middle daughter was at home. You could hear the loo roll being pulled down and down and down and down. I did try to tell her that she really only need to use 4/5 pieces at a time (not just the 1 Paul, although I suppose you...

Lots of good advice here from everyone. Not sure if age 9 is the time when girls start to naturally pad out a bit anyway. My granddaughter, who stays with me a lot is 9 next month and she has put a little bit of weight on recently - she is big for her age anyway (4ft 8" tall already, with size 4...

These sound gorgeous, gonna give them a go tonight :p

That is very interesting - hmmm

The cost of food is amazing isn't it. I seem to spend as much now, when there is only me and hubby left, than I did when I had all the family at home. Perhaps I buy a better quality now than I did then - not sure why I spend so much. Thinking of getting a greenhouse and growing veg in back...

I wouldn't miss it much either, except that I can't afford to retire yet. Second time round married for both me and hubby and we both came out of last marriages skint!! :mad: I like the working from home bit though and the variety of not working in one place all the time when I am out and...

Hmmm - SW sausage rolls sound nice. How do you make them??

Hi Mrs Edz No I work for Conister Trust, but my boss at the moment is ex IOMA. Who do you work for?? Is it a similar type of business? It is a very small world indeed when you get talking to people, especially in the business I work in - very incestuous I find. I remember being at one firm...

By the way Beki, you have a lovely face. Your skin looks clear, your eyes are very pretty and you have a huge welcoming smile. You should be proud of yourself.

Nice idea for a post. I like my eyes and my nose. I like that my feet are fairly small (4 and a half), except that my first husband said they were like Freddie Flinstones feet so occasionally I feel a bit down about them. I am small in height and unfortunately for me the weight does show...

Some of the recipes that have been posted for the pasta sauce packets sound great. I have just been having them boring as they are - not that they are that bad really. Gonna try some of the posted recipes.

Well done you :)

Doesn't the type of bread you buy determine how many rounds you can have as a HEB? I thought that if you bought, for instance, a large Warburton's wholemeal that 1 slice counted as a HEB and that the 3 slices is if the loaf is a weightwatchers type loaf? I am doing SW on line and have...

£45k seems a lot to write by Friday, what sort of finance are you in? Isn't it a bit down at the moment with the 'credit crunch' or has that not affected the business you're in? I work for a Bank based in Isle of Man where we lend money to solicitors to run their client's claims. I am not...

Yeh, I wanted to know what you do too. Are you in finance?

oooh, poor you kittykat. I couldn't go in work if I was sick - I just take to my bed and moan and groan and cry for my mum (you're never too old to want your mum). Luckily, I have a very sympathetic hubby who looks after me really well when I am ill (whether it is a self imposed hangover or...

I think your boss has overstepped the mark making you go to the docs - the first week off sick is a self cert in any event, you have to be off sick for more than a week before the doc gives you an official sick note. Silver lining to being sick tho' is the potential extra weight loss, not much...

Here's my 7th; just another 43 to go -hehe

Thanks to you all for replying - here's another post :-)

Gotta log off now, time for my walking - trying to walk the weight off as well as SW.

Flipping 'eck. How did you lose that much in that short a time? Way to go girl.

I am trying to change my profile and the site keeps telling me I don't have permission (or something like that). Anyone know why??

Hiya I have just weighted in and have lost another 1lb, so total is 11lb loss and I am down to 188lb at moment and size 20 and want to get down to 140 for Feb 14th when my son gets married. I have been doing SW for 7 weeks now and just worked out that is an average WL of 1.57lb a week, so I...

Hi everyone I am newish to forum as far as posting goes - read it a lot, but haven't posted really. I would like to join in with the clothes - like everyone else I have loads of clothes that are getting too big that I would sooner pass to someone else than simply leave in my wardrobe. I see...
