Good Eeevening! Hope everyone is having good weeks and the January blues are slowly starting to subside now! Thought I'd swing by and give you all a little update on how things are panning out for me this week. I was on a high after loosing 2.5lbs last week at weigh in that it carried me...

I would say without a shadow of a doubt that group is the best and most important part of SW! if you can make it I genuinely believe it makes all the difference to your mindset. Even if you can't get to the same one and alternate between a few, you'll soon meet people in each one and as...

You look fabulous! Photos are a great way to keep your motivation up, well done lady! xx

You're definitely not alone! I think it's definitely a mindset that takes a while to change. I was busting out of my size 18 jeans before SW and I bought a pair in size 12 this weekend - despite having tried them on in the shop I had to try them on again when I got home because I kept looking at...

Capricorn you are an absolute inspiration! With all your skills, dedication and motivation you deserve nothing but the success you've had and will continue to have! Absolute fantastic job lady, you've done astoundingly well and I too am in awe! Clo xxx

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had fabulous new years and have hit the ground running in 2011! Why is it that we feel a new resolve to start afresh in the new year and not at any other time? I always start the year with such good intentions, it will be interesting to see if I can keep them...

Hi Capricorn, It's so fantastic to see how well you've been doing - a massive well done to you! I love how organised you are with planning your menus each day, it's far more organised than I could ever be! C xx

Hellooooo and G’Mornin! Wowzers – what a festive week it has been!:xmascheers: I hope everyone had an absolutely fabulous Christmas and managed to see lots of family and friends, after all – that’s what Christmas is about! Christmas for us was really busy – I think when you’ve got two...

And I'm Back... Well Hello! A very festive, snowy and belated ‘I’m back’ from me! I’ve been very quiet for a little while (well actually, 3 months) and not been on MM for a whole host of reasons. I guess I’ve been really busy and the more that time went on the more I felt I couldn’t come...

Hola everyone! It feels like I haven't been on MM in forever - how time does fly when you are away! So as you may have guessed I am now back from sunny Spain (landed on Sunday so I'm 3 days late getting on here) and we had a fab time. We crammed a lot into a week, but the weather was hot...

G'Mornin happy campers! How is everyone doing this fine Wednesday? I'm a happy bunny this morning as managed to bag another successful WI last night (despite 3 meals out at the weekend) - which I'm very chuffed about! I lost 2lbs which has taken my total to 2stone and 9 pounds off! Woop...

Morning All, Hope everyone had fab weekends and isn't suffering from the Monday Blues too much! I wanted to swing by and do a weekend update before it gets round to tomorrow and I'm heading to WI again already! Friday night I was out with my boyfriend and a big group of friends for my...

Yaaaaaaaaay!!! :banana dancer:Check you Miss!!! Fab job lady, I bet you're dead chuffed!! What a sweetie you're boyfriend is too - doesn't it make it so much easier when you've got that support at home?! Oooh that sounds like a fab weekend away - have a lovely time and let me know how it all...

Happy Friday!!! So I'm in a good mood this morning as it's Friday (which is always a reason to celebrate) and we're off out tonight for my lovely boyfriends birthday with a big group of friends which I'm really looking forward to!:party0023: I've also found some great information on the SW...

Wowzers it sounds amazing! I think I may have to pop it on my Christmas wish list as it sounds so good! I love the sound of that stepping whilst watching TV lark too - and jogging up and down the hall! Thanks lovely! xxx

Hi Hathor, Great work on the Wii this morning - every little counts! I'm thinking of getting a Wii Fit, are they good? Do you feel like they actually work? C xx

Morning All! Hope everyone is having good weeks, how have we got to Thursday again already?! It's fast approaching the weekend and then it's going to be WI again - ahh! Tomorrow night we're out with a big group of friends for my boyfriends birthday celebrations, which I'm really looking...

Hey Lady! Massive congratulations on your new shiny - you really are an inspiration to us all with how well you're doing! It's ace you're sticking to the gym too - that's brilliant! That husband of yours sounds like a total Gem - what a sweetie to share his winnings with you - any thoughts on...

Afternoon All, Feels like I haven't been here for ages - even though it's only been 5 days! Hope everyone is doing well and little losses again this week all round! So I guess I should do a quick update on how I've been since my last disheartening weigh in.. The birthday meal for my...

Mornin' All! Thought I'd swing by and give you my mid-week update on how things are going this week so far. Since my weigh in on Monday I've been a bit dis-heartened but I've been really good, stuck to plan 100% and not used more than 5 syns a day. I'm falling into that nasty trap of...

Morning Lovelies, Hope everyone is having a good start to the week! So I went to a different group last night for a 6 day weigh in as I normally would go tonight but can't make it. I thought I had STS as my home scales match my normal group scales, but when I got there I had put on a...

Afternoon All, Again, my apologies for being so slack - I've not written all weekend but again it was a busy one and I was barely at home, let alone on the net! Hope everyone had great weekends and is set for great losses this week! Nothing overly exciting has happened in my world this weekend...

Evening All! Hope everyone has had good weeks so far - how are we at Thursday again already?! :eek: The weeks just seem to be going so quickly at the moment, before we know it we'll be at Christmas again! Just wanted to give you a quick update on my night last night and today so you can make...

Hi Lovely Lady! I somehow missed your post and didn't see it when I was replying yesterday! Your home made pizzas sound great - what a nightmare about having a yeast intolerance though! Does it make EE days harder for you? I'll let you know if I manage to get a pair of jeans, I think New...

Hi Capricorn, Thought I'd swing into your diary and you are so bloomin' brave facing the gym - I still won't do it! It is true though, no one is actually watching you - everyone is there for the same reason. Looking forward to hearing how you get on! When are you coming back to the UK? I bet...

Oooh my fingers are crossed for you sweetness - those shinys are in reach! Especially with all your body magic you've been doing! The aquafit sounds brilliant, good job on the sneaking in, I'm sure they didn't mind :character00180: I've just bought those Fibre bars and they are delicious!! So...

Morning All! Well, despite thinking I'd STS last night (according to my home scales anyway...) I managed to loose 1.5lbs! :bliss: I was really chuffed, but also slightly gutted as it means I was only 0.5lbs away from my next sticker! :sigh: Doesn't matter though, I'm over the moon with that...

Afternoon All, Firstly, super sorry I haven't updated since Friday (I somehow don't know where the last 3 days have vanished too!) :confused: But...I'm here now! So here's how my weekend went: Saturday Saturday during the day was spent shopping in Milton Keynes, which I tell myself is...

YAAAAAY! That's fantastic well done!! Bet you're dead chuffed :D I'm quite sad I like the big shops where you can stock up on lots of SW friendly things, it's so much harder when there's not a lot of food in the house to choose from. Tell me more about these fibre bars - which ones are...

Morning Campers! Thought I'd swing by and give a little update on my day yesterday and plans for today. Yesterday I managed to avoid what can only be described as a "minefield of naughty" at work! One of my colleagues went off on maternity leave so we had: - Home made chocolate crispy...

Wowzers check you Missy with all that exercise planned in! You'll definitely hit the stone mark at that rate - great stuff! Fingers crossed for your weigh in tonight (I'm sure the creme brulee won't have done too much damage!) - let us know how you get on! xx

Morning All, Apologies for the lack of writing yesterday - my feet literally didn't hit the floor all day! Work was crazy busy and I had two friends over for dinner last night so I didn't have time to update here :( I cooked up the SW Chilli con Carne again (as a result of wanting to do...

Thank you ladies! I will indeed be dancing my socks off - it's all body magic right?! x

Evening Lovelies! So....just had my weigh in this evening. I've lost 4 pounds!! WOOOOOOO!!!! I have absolutely no idea how I have managed this with 3 meals out over the weekend, but I am chuffed to bits! I literally danced the funky chicken out of group this evening :p This means I have...

Hi Judy! Thank you so much for your lovely comments :p You'll look amazing I have no doubt about it - just keep up the hard work and it will all pay off in the end! Cx

Hey Lovely! So brill to see you back – I love your ramblings on here so keep them up :D I know what you mean about 8.5stone, I can’t ever imagine being that light! I agree, we need to keep our boobs and bums (otherwise I’m sure the other halves would have something to say!) – it’s all about...

Evening all! Just a very quick one to pop in and update you on the swim situation. I managed to do 30 lengths (same as last time) but in just half an hour, which is 10 minutes less than last time! Woo!!! I'm an absolute phobic when it comes to exercise - I just don't enjoy it in the...

Ah I'm sure you'll be even more amazing - that's me at 11st 9lbs so 11st would be even more fabulous! :) That's a good plan - I was thinking of doing something similar - o kind of see what's what when I get to 10st and see how it is. I'd hate to loose my curves so I wouldn't to push it too...

Aww Capricorn thank you :) You've actually made my day now! :D I'm 5'4" so a bit of a shorty! My ideal weight according to the SW bible is 8.5 stones - 9.5 stones so I'm aiming for the middle at a round 9stone which is still over 2 to go! I'll feel more confident now when I hit the...

Oh no! That would have been so great to go for dinner the two of you before he goes! Just think though, this way you should be able to eat even more healthily and you can fit in loads of things whilst he's away (extra body magic!) to make the time go more quickly :)

Afternoon Slimming Beauties! How are we back at Monday again?! Mondays always scare me how quickly they come round because tomorrow is weigh-in! I MUST be 100% perfect today and tomorrow to make sure I get a loss this week! For lunch I'm tucking into a mugshot (thai noodles) which is much...

Thank you for the encouragement ladies, I think I'll pop it up here later on so you can see a 'before' and 'in progress' comparison! It's so nice to hear such friendly advice and support - it's what makes these boards so wonderful, so thank you for that :) x LeeLea you are completely right...

I allow myself a maximum of 10, but during the week I barely use 3-5, so if I hit 15 at the weekend it's ok! I think it's all about trial and error to see what works for each person. There's a lady in my group who starts the week with 70 and just ticks them off as she goes along, but I did that...

Morning All! Well, to make up for Friday night, last night was absolutely fabulous!! We went out for my Mum’s birthday to a lovely Italian restaurant which was just perfect. The place, the atmosphere, the service, the company and most importantly...the food! Here’s how it went.. I...

Morning all! Hope everyone is having happy, slimming-friendly weekends! Why is it that staying on track is just so much harder at the weekend? You’d think when we’ve got more time to prepare meals and plan ahead it would be easier! So as mentioned, we went out for dinner last night with a...

It most definitely was LeeLea - I'm going to try and recreate it at home one evening :) Glad you enjoy my ramblings, I'm nosey too I'm always on here reading everyone elses! xx

Well spotted eagle-eyed lady! That to be precise was a BBQ chicken and bacon bap which my friend had - with lashings of chips! In all honesty though, mine looked much better and was only £4.99, bargain! You should definitely give the Lamb Rogan a whirl - my only tip would be to halve the...

Hi All, I just had to share with you my lunch today (the picture just doesn't do it justice!). Grilled Steak (rare for me) Mixed 'slaw salas (brocolli, cabbage, carrot, peppers) Topped with dried noodles Oooooh yes!! Cx

Hehe! Well guessed! x

Thank you very muchly! Hope you have a lovely weekend too! Hopefully the 2 meals out won't effect Tuesdays weigh in :) x

Morning All, Apologies I didn't get chance to update yesterday - we had unexpected visitors in the form of my Grandparents, which whilst it was brilliant to see them, meant a late night and no MM time for me! Yesterday was a fairly standard Thursday, nothing out of the ordinary to contend...

Evening All, So I thought I’d give you a little update on my day today – even though it’s fairly unexciting as far as food goes... I was in London all morning for a work meeting at a super-s****y PR agency, which, as nice as it was (sitting on a chair that resembled a ‘CTRL’ button on a...

Thankyou lovely! Working for Slimming World magazine would be a dream come true, but I wouldn't even know where to start! I'm looking forward to sharing my tales too...even if I do talk a bit too much! xx

The 4th April 2010 was a hot, sunny afternoon. I decided it was about time I dug out my summer clothes and slipped on a pair of denim shorts I had bought the year before. Except the denim shorts that had been snug the previous summer wouldn't even button up on me. Despite having been unhappy...

Congratulations on your baby! I agree with the others - you should go back, I'm sure yiour consultant will be extra gentle! I think everyone has periods where they flatten out or gain and can't get motivated again. Maybe if you think about what motivated you first time and try to find something...

Only a pound off for me though but that means that I have now lost the 4lbs (in two weeks) that I put on after coming back from a completely drink/food fuelled fornight in Greece! 6 lbs to go until the 2.5stone mark - body magic this week I think! x

I had the Hazelnut ones and they are 4.5 each! I think the white ones are more! x

When I feel like I'm having a down week - I focus on the positive aspects. Look back at how well you've done, things you've learnt and the lifestyle changes you've made. That way you're outlook becomes more positive and you'll face each day with the right 'I Can Do This' mental attitude! xxx

That's absolutely amazing! Well done!! You should treat yourself to some new clothes/shoes to celebrate such a fantastic loss! x

I've just blown an entire days worth of syn points on two Lindt Lindor balls. SO worth it :) x

Whenever I go to Italian restaurants I always opt for the Penne Arrabiatta, it's pasta in a chilli tomato sauce and I've never suffered at a weigh in afterwards! x

One pound off this week for me :) Really pleased as I had a dodgy week - lots of picking at naughty things! :D
