Just popping by to say hi and see how you ate doing, even though I'm not doing sliming world anymore. It's always tricky over the festive period, don't lose heart! :)

Leeanne. How's pregnancy going for you? Well done for controlling your weight!

Well done em!!! 9 st something! Well done!

I'm rather embarrassed for not having updated this and not doing proper WIs for soooo long. My excuse was holiday -> house move -> scale went out of battery... Anyway... here I am again. Luckily, have somehow maintained my weight in the past few months, and I'm only 0.1 pounds heavier than I...

well done all! some good losses!!! krupskaya I love your graph! you're doing soooooooooo well! 186 to 129!!! that's 57 pounds! 4 stones! wowwwwwwww! I really need to learn how to be as dedicated as you! very inspiring!

hello all, it's been a really long time since I WI. reason being I haven't really been on SW, and just ate as healthily as I can. weighed just now, 68kg =149.6 pounds. JUST under 150 pounds LOL. Need to work harder to move towards my 10 stone goal. hope you are all well!!

Well done both for the loss! And the size 10 skinny jeans! I'm moving this weekend so have already packed away the scale and wii fit. Will try to report next week!

Oh and UK size 12 = US size 8. Feels great to be a size 8!

Thank :) I'm not sure I have space in my head to do all the syn counting. (that really gives me headache) so I'll probably do a modified version of avoiding fattening and sugary food, and increase veg and fruit intakes. Similar principle so can't see why that wouldn't work. Really happy with...

Hi em. Glad to hear that you are doing well, lost 2 pounds this week and is almost in the 10s. You will get there next week! I haven't been posting for weeks as I haven't really been on sw. I also went away to New York - which was great! Good art galleries, and good food too, and luckily I...

Yes portions are huge and looks like alot of butter was put into cooking. I think I actually gained abit before the trip so I haven't actually gained that much during the trip, which was a pleasant surprise. It must be the hours of walking I was doing everyday. How are things with you...

Hello all, I haven't been posting for weeks as I haven't really been on sw. I also went away to New York - which was great! Good art galleries, and good food too, and luckily I haven't gained much. weighed myself this morning, am 152 pounds. Slightly heavier than my recent lightest of 150...

I've been starting to bring packed lunch again hope this helps

Krupskaya - STS Dreamaholic - STS Group total = 0lbs To be honest am pretty fed up with myself. I haven't been syn counting, am only sort of doing sw - eat low fat and more veg where possible and avoid unhealthy fattening stuff. I think that's why am not losing but I really cannot be bothered...

Suki = 1.5lb Ffynnon = 1lb Krupskya = 1.5lbs Twinkle = 0.5lb Fat bridesmaid = 1lb amelia = 3lbs LHC = STS sandyo = 1lb rattymum = STS Dreamaholic = gained 2 pounds Group total = 7.5lbs 2 pounds gain for me. :( I have been trying green days but didn't seem to work. Boo Well done everyone for...

Ffynnon = 1lb krupskaya = 1.5lbs rattymum = 2lbs Leanne = 1.5lbs Twinkle = 0.5 sandyo = 3lbs Fat Bridesmaid = 1lb Dreamaholic = sts Group Total = 10.5lbs Well done all. Sts again for me. Boo.

Well done all losers! Collectively we have lost 25 pounds. Wow!!!! Special well done to Amelia! Half a stone in a week!! What's your tips?

Welcome all new joiners :) Krupskaya = 3lbs lovehatecarbs = 0.5lbs lisajhammond = STS Dreamaholic = STS group total = 3.5lbs Well done losers, especially krupskaya ! You lost 3 pounds!

Well done for being 10st smthg! You really are doing quite well with this diet! Some shops are more generous eg m&s than some others eg mango :) I bought a size 10 coat from jaeger, size 12 dresses from m&s and am probably a size 14 or 16 at mango (haven't shopped there for ages now but I know...

(I did take out the butter!)

Feeling so healthy. I'm eating a whole pack for lunch so that's 4 of my five a day? :)

Wow we almost lost a stone!! Well done all losers, especially to tarty who lost the most!! And good luck Judith I think I really need to up my superfree! How far is everyone from target? Its 10-20 pounds to go for me, depends where I wanna stop.

Krupskaya - 1lb Lisajhammond - 1.5lb Tarty - 4lb Lottie0311- 1.5lb Dreamaholic - sts Total group loss - 8lb

You are our slimmer of the week, well done, loser :) Well done everyone as collectively we've lost over a stone!!!:) onwards and downwards everyone!!

I think it's a brilliant idea ;) I think what we can do is: Twinkle - x pounds LHC - x pounds krup - x pounds Tarty - x pounds Etc And when people post their losses they just ad to the list themselves So we can see the result at a glance

Hello everyone! Hope you are well. Time flies and it's Wednesday already!! I finally lost that one pound that puts me below 150 pounds. Hurray :bliss: as can be seen from my signature it's taken me six months to lose this 5 pounds. Hope the next 5 pounds won't take as long!! Good luck with...

Just reading my weight loss progress. Can't believe it took me 6 months to lose 5 pounds... Hope the remaining 10 pounds won't take as long to lose.

Hey Emily - I only found this thread just now, and glad to hear that you're doing really well!! Happy to hear that you've found a diet that works for you, and you're constantly losing :) one number from getting 260k!!! how annoying is that! Did you buy the Euromillion last Friday? 107m...

I know my usual weight in day is Wednesday, but that doesn't stop me from playing wii-fit on a Sunday... and that doesn't stop me from finding out what I weigh!! I'm proud to announce... I've gone under the 150 barrier!!!! hurry :bliss: Hope the next weigh in on Wednesday will say the same thing!

Wow well done!!! You must be thrilled. Sorry have been busy and haven't popped by much, glad to see you're at target!!

Hi Val and Emily, lovely to see you popping by here! How are you two doing? Hope all is well! I've been rubbish about doing food diary so haven't updated this much, but im still doing sw loosely (no syn counting but avoid fattening food)

Well done all! Ffynnon you are the sow again, well done!! I imagine the 20min exercise each day really helps but I always find it hard to make myself to do 20 mins each day. Maybe I should push myself harder!! How much more have you got to lose before you reach target? Looking at the speed...

Well done mummy kate, and leeanne, you gaining half a pound is probably bcos your baby is growing, not you! And well done krupskaya for getting into the 10s! you must be thrilled! Hows everyone doing? Hope you are well I'm pleased to report I lost 0.6kg, am now weighing 150.5 pounds - so close...

Some good losses here from various people this week, well done. I think collectively we've lost around a stone!! Sow goes to ffynnon for a 5 pound loss! Commiseration to those who didnt lose as much as theyd like. Let's work hard for next week.

Congrats leeanne!!! Following another long weekend, I lost 0.1kg. Not alot but at least its slightly better than a sts or a small gain. Also it's time of the month right now so hope to report a loss next week! Krupskaya - well done for the 4 pound loss! Good luck everyone else!

Welcome to our new joiners :) do you wanna give us some background about yourself, eg where you are from, how much you weigh now and how much do you wanna lose etc. Yeah i personally prefer to keep the fiver for myself each week than paying to get weighed. Weighing yourself is not that...

Welcome and well done for the huge loss!! Following some steaks and chips and ice-cream over the last weekend, I've gained 1.5 pounds... not great and certainly not pleased but at least I know where the pounds came from...

Wow well done lynette! I think that's the best loss among our group so you are the sow!! Well done everyone for your losses / sts and commiseration on gains. Have a lovely long weekend and try to enjoy it without too many easter eggs!

Looking at my weightloss graph, I really have been messing around since Jan 2011, have been losing and gaining the same few pounds! I really need to put my act together before summer arrives! I do wanna lose at least 10 more pounds! My weight loss chart:

good luck with the easter egg temptation! it's hard to fight against all these temptations!

Thanks Jane :)

Surely you can feel the difference after losing 30 pounds? Look at photos of yourself when you are 30 pounds heavier and look at the mirror again!! I'm a tortoise and I've only lost 16 pounds since last July... But clothes that were tight now fit, and I doubt I could squeeze in size 12 dresses...

Thanks :) :) :) Have a great day too. Weathers lovely where I am! (except I'm in the office...)

Thanks :) I'm really pleased that I'm finally losing! (I guess it's the salads I've been having, and I've also been on the bike more!) Well done for avoiding the ice cream, you need alot of will power for that! Good luck with weigh in for those who haven't yet weighed!

I'm happy to report that I lost 1.2kg which is 2.5 pounds!!! Don't know how that happened (as I'm still not on plan) but I'm not complaining :) :bliss:

Well done :) I'm happy to report that I lost 1.2kg which is 2.5 pounds!!! Don't know how that happened (I'm still not on plan, but I've been having more salads) of coz I'm not complaining :) :bliss:

You sts so the naughty food you ate wasn't so naughty or your healthy sw eating more than made up for it :) Maybe I should start doing food diaries properly again too...

Welcome moomoo and winkley, and well done everyone for staying on plan and losing something / maintaining well (apart from myself... I know i can do better!) special well done to tarty and twinkle who lost 2.5 pounds and are our sow!! Ok now I really do need to put my acts together. I'm going...

Well done for not having that cake. My will power is abit rubbish at the moment, have been having things like Oreo, crisps, hobnob snack bar etc. Sometimes they don't taste that good anyway. (but Oreo and kettle chips are good lol) I wonder why I'm doing this to myself. WI today, gained 0.5...

One week on I'm still not on plan yet and I gained 0.5 pounds. To be honest have been eating lots of naughty food eg Oreo, this new hobnob snack bar, Oreo was nice but this hobnob bar wasn't. Argh I wish I can have more self discipline. (I say this every week...)

Welcome back. How are you doing? Hope you are recovering well !

My attempt of a healthy lunch with lots of superfree!

Glad to hear that your grand daughter has recovered! Hope you are well too xx

Welcome Chloe!! And well done our slimmers of the week krupskaya, tarty and twinkle who all lost 1.5 pounds each well done!! And well done to all as small loss / sts is better than a gain!

Thanks for your encouragement Valerie. I really need to put my act together. If someone can lose 20 st I should be able to lose 20 pounds...... I'm the only one to blame for not sticking to plan. I've upped my veg intake, just needa keep doing that and stop buying sinful snacks to tempt myself!

I've sts again this week. Not surprising as I'm not really following plan. No counting syn no making sure i have a third superfree. Just wish I'm more disciplined as I do wanna lose at least ten more pounds. Really need to put my acts together.

Welcome Melissa! I've sts again this week. Not surprising ss I'm not really following plan. Just wish I'm more disciplined as I do wanna lose at least ten more pounds Well done krupskaya and tarty. I'd be over the moon if I lose 1.5 pounds

I think SOW goes to Twinkle who lost 3.7 pounds. Mia and Tarty both lost 3.5 pounds - that's close! Well done everyone x

Well done!! So happy for you!!

Hello all!! I had a day off yesterday so forgot today is weigh in wednesday!! I guess I'd probably have sts or a small gain... (totm in the last few days so I'm not hopeful) Shall find out next week!! Any tips re how to be motivated? To be honest I think I'm losing steam!!

I don't know either...I just get on with it I suppose and try to finish the work asap. Luckily it's gone back to normal now :)

Well done all!! I had a day off yesterday so forgot today is weigh in wednesday!! I guess I'd probably have sts or a small gain... Shall find out next week!! Any tips re how to be motivated? To be honest I think I'm losing steam!!

Work has calm down abit now. Left before 6pm these day which does make a big difference! Hope to do more exercise this week and can report a loss next week!

Congrats donzy!!! With the baby and the water, you probably lost the most :p but I think slimmer of the week goes to twinkle who lost 3 pounds!! Well done everyone too!!

popping by to say hi - hope you're feeling better xxx fish cake sounds yum!

sorry have been absolutely rubbish at posting in minimins!! just weighed. lost 0.1kg which doesnt add up to 0.5 pound, so it's a STS, at 68.8kg = 151.36 pounds. honestly honestly, I haven't really been doing sw lately. I've just been eating normally, cutting down fat where possible, but not...

Welcome twinkle!! I've lost 0.1kg but if round to the nearest 0.5 pounds it's a sts Guess the white wine and hazelnut blondie cake from the m&s dine in for a tenner deal didn't help...

Thanks for popping by. Wish I had lost tho. Works been really busy and i have been doing 10+ hours days lately. Its 8pm and in still in the office (got in at 9) am now reheating my sw friendly pasta in the microwave, looks like I'll be here for at least another hour or two. *cry*

Thanks for popping by. Im here! I did weigh this morning, it's a sts. Thank goodness!! Works been really busy so havent been on here much. Hope you are well too.

Looks like krupskaya has lost the most - one pound this week. well done!! I did weigh this morning, it's a sts. Thank goodness!! Works been busy so havent been very good Leeanne so when are you thinking if getting married? How exciting!! Yeah, where's everyone?

Good luck everyone. I'm not gonna weigh today as I woke up late so dont have time to weigh before work. When I get home tonight the scale is gonna say something different because it's different time of the day so it's not worth it. May do that tmr just to get an idea of my progress.

Slimmer of the week goes to krupskaya ! Well done everyone too!

If anyone need a new wardrobe because they've lost so much weight, there's this great deal on groupon today where you pay 9 quid for a 20 quid asos voucher, so effectively it's 11 quid off!! :) Check this out http://www.groupon.co.uk/in/.Ce9S5e?nlp :bliss:

well done!!!

What does purple mean? Lol I have been having colourful days too, anything but red, green and orange!!

Of coz you can :) welcome to this group!!

Gained a pound. To be very honest, i haven't been on plan... Have been baking bread lately, so am not surprised I gained. Just annoyed with myself for lack of self restraint!

Had a good weekend thanks. But it's too short. Before I knew it it's over!! 4 more days to go... Hope you're well too!

Wow this is stickied? :bliss: :) I'm glad that I've met you home-weighers so we can motivate each other without having to pay a fiver each week to attend those groups!

Actually it wasn't a sts, I lost a pound! I had a sneak peek on saturday, it's a sts since sat, but since last wed, I actually lost a pound :) (these sneak peeks can confuse you!)

Thanks for popping by! I'm good and I'm glad it's finally Friday. Really looking forward to weekend so I can rest. It's been a really tiring and hectic week at work. How are you doing? Hope you're now better

Hey Hun thanks for popping by. How's it going for you? Still doing sw or are you doing something else like cc now? Hope you're well!!

If you need antibiotic you need antibiotic! Hope you get better soon!

Glad to hear all the good news from you, leeanne!! Slimmer of the week goes to alicia who lost 6 pounds, very well done. :bliss:

Actually I lied. It's not a STS this week! I had a sneaky WI last Saturday, weighed 68.5kg... I weighed myself this morning, it's at 68.5kg = 150.5 pounds This is the same as last Saturday, so I thought it's a STS, but actually I did lose a pound since last Wednesday!!!!!! Hurray...

Actually I lied. It's not a STS this week! I weighed myself, it's at 68.5kg today = 150.5 pounds This is the same as last Saturday, but I did lose a pound since last Wednesday!!!!!! (way too busy at work, made me all knackered and confused!) :bliss:

Wow 6 pounds!!! Very well done! (that's more than what I lost over the last three months......I really need to get my acts together!!)

It's 8pm and i only just left the office (my official hour is 9-5). Really pleased that I was snacking on alpen light bar, banana and apple and not choc / crisps. Am now starving...

Work's also been really busy lately so I haven't been visiting your diaries these days. Will try to pop by tonight when I get home if I'm not too tired. Hope everyones well, and losing!!

Thanks all!! Weighed this morning... Its a STS for me. My weight really fluctuates alot. Yesterday it's 68.3 kg today it's 68.5 kg. Had my weigh in day been Tuesday I would be able to say I lost 0.5 pounds. But because I usually weigh on wed it's a STS. Argh anyway it doesn't really matter...

STS for me. My weight really fluctuates alot. Yesterday it's 68.3 kg today it's 68.5 kg. Had my weigh in been Tuesday I would be able to say I lost 0.5 pounds. But because I usually weigh on wed it's a STS Hope I make more progress in the coming month!!

had a sneaky weigh in this morning... now at 68.5kg = 150.5 pounds :D hope to get below 150 by next Wednesday!!!

Was reading your diary for the past week or so - well done for staying away from choc and sweetener. so you're generally having weetabix, fruit and salad? Do they really feel you up? If I have salad for lunch I'd be looking for food at 3pm! Lol

Thanks very much for the list! I'll bear that in mind! I do like berries but they're pricey this time of the year! I love fish and seafood too!! (but I've to say rhubarb is really not my thing!:p)

I know I haven't been on plan 100% so although I drink alot of water a day the pound is not really shifting. I really need to take the 1/3 superfree and syn counting more seriously. And superspeed too! I havent got my book with me at work, please can you tell me whats super speed off your head? Ta

Well done everyone. And very well done to our sow mommynoriana who lost two pounds :) Leeanne - please come back! I havent really been 100% on plan too, so although I do drink alot of water a day, the pound is not really shifting. I really need to take the 1/3 superfree and syn counting more...

Yeah that's true. I'll try to make myself fall in love with superfree food and stay away from temptations...

Thanks. Wish I'm as close to goal as you!!!

Yeah dieting is all about self control (and self restraints!) I stayed the same this week - no surprise there given I have been eating macaroons and other yummy but synful stuff. Hope I'll get under 150 pounds soon as that would also mean losing 10% of original weight.

Well done!!! I stayed the same - no surprise there given I have been eating macaroons and other yummy but synful stuff. Hope I'll get under 150 pounds soon as that would also mean losing 10% of original weight.

yes I enjoyed them. but if I carry on eating food I love to eat I'll never shift the pounds :( why can't SW food be tastier? (OK it's my cooking......) why can't I fall in love with veg and fruit?

Confession: I ate two macaroons today. And a toasted ciabetta.

Leeanne -sorry that your job might be at risk. There are many children related jobs so IF one door closes another will open. Don't be too worried yet! Mommynoriana - I love this little group too, this makes sure I weigh myself every Wednesday and not go completely off track!

Hey hun sorry to hear that you're still not losing. I can completely feel your frustration. Have you spoken to your consultant about it? She might have some good suggestion? Or have you considered following some sample menu in the sw magazine? I've thought about doing that, as they look...

Hey Hun how's it going? Have you got your computer fixed yet?

Rumbletummy - you're more than welcome to join!! :) leeanne - looks like it's the stress causing the loss? hope things will turn out fine!

I don't think by not having crisps for 28 days would make me not wanna eat crisps :p I'm a big kettle chips fan! Went food shopping just now, was examining the nutritional values - it's 189 kcal for 40g, a packet is 150g, so if I have the whole packet, that'd be 710 kcal which is like 35.5...

SOW goes to Leeanne who lost 2.5 pounds, but there're a few good 1-2 pound losses too! Well done everyone! (apart from me... I really need to put my act together!!)

your brother is in King's Speech? really? wow! which part? I watched the Black Swan tonight... it's a good script and v.good acting, too good that I felt scared!!! Not for the faint-hearted!

I've got tickets for black swan tonight, tho I think I'll watch kings speech on another day too!

I love the garlic ones!! Only downside is they are abit pricey. Otherwise I can eat them all day long too! (and do red days!)

Good luck with weigh in later!!! Fingers crossed for you.

Hope you feel better. Get well soon x

Thanks! Will try to get ticket then !!

My sw friendly lunch. I took out the blob of butter from the vegetable layer before sticking into microwave so this vege pot should be 100% free!

Thanks yes a sts is definitely better than a gain! I've probably lost something, but then offset by the crumble lol Some say one can re-educate your taste buds to love healthy food and forget about cakes and crisps... honestly?!? I'm afraid I can't! I can only tell myself that those are not...

But I only have time to watch one tonight :p

Would have loved to lose those 2 pounds but I know I haven't been on plan 100% so it's no surprise that I didn't lose that 2 pounds. A STS is better than a gain!! Ahhhhh why do cakes, crisps, apple crumble etc taste so much nicer than superfree fruits and veg???

Orange Wednesday today, planning to watch a film tonight. Deciding between Black Swan and Kings Speech. Have you watched either? Do you recommend? Thanks!

Its a STS this week for me. To be honest am v glad I didn't gain as I had a v nice apple crumble last sunday! Two pounds from club 10 but I'm just not losing that 2 pounds. Will try harder to stay away from temptation this week!!

Same here. Two pounds from club 10 but I'm just not losing that 2 pounds. Its a STS this week for me. To be honest am v glad I didn't gain as I had a v nice apple crumble last sunday! Well done to those who lost!!! :)

Before we knew it it's Wednesday again tmr!! Good luck everyone!! Mommynoriana - thx for the recipe. May try sometime when I feel adventurous!

Hey thanks for the encouragement. I know my slow loss / lack of weight loss is probably due to me not doing this religiously. I think I just need to get myself organised and get back on the wagon. (it may sound like excuses but it's hard when your other half isn't doing it too...)

Was too full to have dinner. Also did some tae bo workout to try to burn the crumble off. (got real sweaty!!) Hope the damage isn't too bad......

Just had an apple crumble. Hmmmmm how many syns is that... (its yum tho. I love crumble!). Chances of me getting below 150 at the next wi is rather slim...

At least it's heading to the right direction. If you keep your 100% days Im sure things will start picking up soon. Maybe drink more water and do more exercise and see how it goes?

Well done mommynoriana for losing 3 pounds - I think you've lost the most and is the slimmer of the week :) Well done to other losers, and commiseration to those who gained! Good luck with the coming week! Mommynoriana can you share the ham soup recipe please? Sounds yum!

I put on one pound too :(

Welcome back!!! How have you been lately? Hope all is well! Looks like you've got sw under control!

Yeah am quite annoyed with the gain but I did dine out and it's totm soon so I think thats why. I heard doing exercise would increase metabolism rate so that you burn more calories even when you're sitting in front of tv / computer and sleeping!! So I will aim to do that Billy Blank workout at...

I really hope you have some good news at your weigh in so you won't lose faith in sw!! Some people lost stones and stones of weight surely this has to work? However I have to say my personal experience has been slow, but that is probably because I'm not doing this properly. (I admit I'm not...

68.8 kg = 151.36. Gained 1 pound :( I think it's because - I dined out quite a bit over the last week - it's time of the month soon so feeling bloated. Quite gutted tho as I did the Billy Blanks workout DVD twice, so I was expecting some losses! Feb challenge: 1 gone, 3 to go. Ahhhh I'm so...

I gained 1 pound as well. :( I think it's because I dined out quite a bit over the last week, and because it's time of the month soon so feeling bloated. Feb challenge: 1 gone, 3 to go. Ahhhh I'm so close to getting below 150 and am now further and further away!

You never know there might be some good news tmr :) good luck!

Well it's a huge packet of salad so yes I would say it's a third of my lunch! I love meat and I love carb that's why I'm doing ee with lots of veg. Tried red / green but I kept thinking about meat / carb al the time lol

I didn't have ciabetta in the end :) But did have a big lunch (as wont have dinner till quite late tonight) Sometime I wonder if I'm eating too much. Lunch today: M&S count on us creamy roasted mushroom risotto - 340 kcal, 6.4g sugar, 5.6g fat 1 pack (55g) M&S Baby leaf Italian salad leaves -...

Sometime I wonder if I'm eating too much. Lunch today: M&S count on us creamy roasted mushroom risotto - 340 kcal, 6.4g sugar, 5.6g fat 1 pack (55g) M&S Baby leaf Italian salad leaves - 10 kcal, 0.9g sugar, 0.6g fat (where from??) 1 pack M&S eat well garlic prawns - 160 kcal, 0.8g sugar, 6.8g...

I'm v tempted to have a toasted ciabetta for lunch today...

10st10lbs - Haha I'd like that too. Was browsing minimins and found lots of inspiring photos there! For those of you who need motivation, check this out! http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-inspirational-photos/

Hey how are you doing these days? I was browsing minimins, found this, v inspiring! Check these threads out! http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-inspirational-photos/

Well done! Very inspiring!!

Which part of the body would you wanna slim down the most? For me it's my face and arms, so at least I'd look slim in most photos lol

Yes i hate it when it asks me why did I gain!!! And whatever you answer it will give you a mini lecture!! Re my love handle... There are quite a bit of unwanted flesh round my waist that I really wanna get rid of!

I understand your frustration and why you may want to give VLCD a go. I think the question is, what will you feel while eating that little a day, and what happens if you eat normally again? To me those shakes are a temporary solution, but wouldnt quite work long term. (obviously we are biased as...

I've been abit rubbish with updating my food diary...ops. will start from today: 0900: porridge with honey 1330: dined out - lasagna, cafe latte 1730: dined out - pork dumplings, beef fried noodles, 1 turnip dim sum 2000: ferrero rocher x 2 2100: malteasers rabbit a very high syn day...

maverick - yes I'll need to up my superfree too!! any comforting superfree recommendation? :) valerie - thanks :) I love your chart by the way!

hey hun, I can feel your frustrations!! There could be other reasons why you're not losing weight - you're losing inches, not pounds - the scales at SW are rubbish - there are random fluctuations - time of the month? I think sw promotes healthy eating - low fat and more fibre, you can't be...

Big hugs!!! How about a nice hot bath? That will be relaxing and pampering!

Thanks Jane. It's still a long way to go till my target! (10 pounds from my 1st target and 20 from my ultimate - actually these figures don't sound too bad! :) )

Ok found out that VLCD = very low calorie diet It's not for me then :p

Sorry to hear that you are feeling fed up. I've not heard of this VLCD diet but is it restrictive and is it sustainable? if we want to lose weight and maintain long term, the diet cant be too restrictive and be sustainable. I know a friend who did lighter life, she couldnt eat alot, had to live...

Have never heard of those herb cubes, will look for them and try out! Sounds yum!

Well done to those who lost / sts and commiseration to those who gained. Slimmer of the week goes to krupskaya who lost 2.5 pounds!! Well done! Looks like a number of us are not too happy with our weight loss progress... I guess its a long battle to slim down to our dream size, with many...

it's probably some fluctuation of the scale! don't be disheartened! and a pound is a pound, you're a pound closer to your goal!! :) also, well done for saying no to the pizza! :)

Thanks emily and maverick :) to be fair those M&S size 14 trousers have always been loose... (because I couldn't fit into a pair of size 12 when I bought those) and trust me, I did tuck in my tummy, lol! :D

recent photo (I did tuck my tummy in!!) Now need to work harder to get rid of the "love handles"

Well done with the loss! I always say I should try more red but I do love carbs. Lol

Well done for the loss and getting the sticker back :)

I use the iPhone app too. V handy! Well done for the three 100% days!

Sounds like its the cheese and dressing. Ops!!

I love ready meals for lunch too, especially in winter as they are nice and warm, but yes, I always try to stay away from seafood as it does not smell v nice in the office! Lol (tho I love seafood!!)

Yeah happy to have lost two pounds last week. But actually i gained 1.5 last week, so actual loss is 0.5 over two weeks, which isn't that great lol

just weighed myself, 68.3kg = 150.26 pounds = 150.5 pounds (if I lose an extra 0.02 pounds I could have round down to 150 :p) 152.5 last time... so have lost 2 pounds :) I'm not complaining! In terms of Feb challenge, my aim was to lose 4 pounds, now 2 gone, 2 more to go!!

Finger crossed for you tmr. Im quite nervous myself too. What ww ready meal do you recommend? I usually just go for the m and s count on us / full for longer as there's a m and s right next to my office.

Good luck for WI everyone!! Yeah let's do a Feb challenge. Dreamaholic - want to lose 4 pounds

Well at least they are sw muffins and not shop bought ones :) they cant be that bad. Good luck with the mortgage payment discussion with the advice bureau, hope they can offer you some help

I've tried the c25k before. I think that got me to run 2-3 times a week which is good. I did that before my wedding to give weight loss a boost, but stopped straight after my wedding so I still can't run 5k yet lol.

wii fit graph - glad it's coming down again!!! (really don't know what's going on a few days ago!)

too bad your computer broke down. is it still within warranty? the good thing is you're on plan, well done :)

And maybe eat more veg and fruit when I'm not going out to balance out.

Thanks for your tips. What you said made complete sense. I can't give up my social life so that I could lose weight. I will go mad I think. So I'll just be sensible and opt for healthier options.

I was going to up my exercise too but really am too tired after work. At least you're following plan and limiting your syn to under 15 which is really good. Ive stopped syn counting due to laziness, I'm just "being sensible" with what I put into mouth, and I'm dining out too much... Argh. Sorry...

A loss is still a loss that helps you get to your goal! I had a bad sw week but will put that behind me! Best wishes to your mum.

Absolutely. But I think I need to take more care not to let this happen too regularly. I do dine out quite alot with hubby and friends... once in a while is ok, but not too often :p

Oh... Big hugs. Actually quite a few of us had a disappointing week, myself included, but please don't give up. If you give up now you are only more likely to gain more weight. Let's eat healthily and move around more to lose more next week. We can do this!

Well done to those who lost, and a big pat for those who didn't. If I'm working this out right I think our slimmer of the week is mommynoriana who lost ten pounds over three weeks which is just over three pounds each week if we do a simple average! Well done. Quite a few of us had a...

Well I gained 1.5 pounds last week, I wish it's a sts. Have you considered showing your food diary to your consultant and asked her what you could try to speed up weight loss? You are paying a fiver each week, may as well have a good chat with her and see what she says. Good luck. You never know...

Hey you haven't been to weigh in yet, right? You never know, there may be a big loss!!! Good luck!

Just weighed myself, have gained 1.5 pounds! :( Have been dining out for lunch on sat and sun, and for dinner mon and tues... (with wine and champagne and bread..) So I guess I deserve it..... Well at least I know where the gain came from!! Will draw a line and get on with my weightloss...

Thanks leeanne. Yes the damage is done (and I did enjoy it!) I'll have to draw a line and be good from today onwards!

Warmest welcome to our new friends :) Have been dining out for lunch on sat and sun, and for dinner mon and tues... (wih wine and champagne and bread..) Just weighed myself, have gained 1.5 pounds! :( but I guess I deserve it.....

I'm not too hopeful for tmr too. Good luck everyone!

I think the cup is around 200-250ml. And I do go to the ladies quite often. Maybe 3 times so far today (it's now 2pm) I know I drink alot but if I drink less I feel thirsty... Would u call this a drinking problem? Lol

Trying to monitor how much water / tea I drink. Since I got into work at 9, I've had 3 green tea and 4 water. It's now almost 11am. Do I drink too much?

Keep up the good work :)

Ahhhh can't believe I haven't logged my food diary since TUESDAY! OK I can't remember what I had so many days ago. Fri - 21/1 0800: leek + cod + mushroom bake 0930: hot chocolate (68 kcal so 3.5 syns) 1200: apple 1300: toasted chicken + mushroom ciabatta <-- 409 kcal. some syns with the bread...

Just resisted getting a packet of kettle chips. Well done me!!

Looks like alot of you girls had good experience at bravissimo!! Will check out ;)

hey Leeanne... big hugs! hope this week will be a better week for you!!

Hope you will feel better soon!! Big hugs

Well done for the loss. Its a relatively small loss but it's still a loss. Keep up the good work. Some weeks we lose more some weeks we lose less, but ultimately we will get to goal if we persevere!!

Well done with the 2 pounds loss :)

Thanks! Well I did lost 2.5 pounds the week before so maybe that's why I lost less this week - have lost 3 pounds this month so it's not too bad. Hope I'll get under 150 next week!

Glad to hear that you're motivated and your trousers are getting loose! Good luck with WI later today:)

I would say Marks and Spencer is probably better ;)

Weighed this morning. 68.6 kg = 151 pounds. Lost 0.5 lbs. A little gutted. Hope I'll get below 150 next week!

Ah I'm trying vey hard to stop myself from going to Paul and get a chocolate macaroon. Why why why do I love macaroon and why are they so tasty?

only 4 syns over given you went to McD, well done! 110 quid a week is quite expensive! what have you bought?

the "I can't believe you made it" chocolate cake from the programme looks amazing!!! sooo wanna try making that one day!

was watching "baking made easy" on BBC1... it's so good! BBC - Food - Recipes from Programmes : Baking Made Easy if only I could bake and eat those yummy food without having to worry about getting fat!

well done to the loss and well done for sticking to plan today!

I think doing the food diary helps, I'm sure working out the precise syn helps too but it's doing my head in! :p I hope I'll still lose by avoiding syns where possible apart from the occasions I dine out. regarding the signature basically you'll need to be a geek and amend the code! the URL...

Dont worry I'm not giving up completely... I just find it hard to estimate syn values, especially when eating out. I'll continue to watch what I eat, avoid fattening food and eat more veg, and will note down what I eat, hope I'll still continue to lose :) (I'll go back to syn counting if i stop...

i find it very difficult to do food diary... *on the verge of giving up* 11/1 (Tues) 0900: ride porridge 1100: cereal bar 1220: toasted steak and cheese ciabatta from EAT - 591 kcal (how many syns with the ciabatta?) 1500: hot chocolate 1715: alpen light (HeB) 1900: grapes 2030: chinese cabbage...

*drumrolls please* Slimmer of the week goes to... krupskaya and Donzy84's OH who both lost 5 pounds! WELL DONE!! :talk017:

good point... I have no idea then :p

probably that's because muscle weigh more than fat!! if you keep exercising you'll soon fine that you are better toned!

actually my club10 = 166.5 x 0.9 = 149.85 which is less than 2 pounds away! so... not long to go... hopefully!! :)

Well done!!! You must be thrilled :)

Good luck with weigh in tonight! :)

Thanks little sausage and Emily! Fingers crossed I'll get there next week! Just noticed I've now got the 1 stone sticker back, and I've lost 9% so far!! Not far to go till my club10!!!! :D

I wish I'm 20 again lol.

Will post the food diaries later. Have weighed myself, now at 68.9kg = 151.5 pounds! Lost 2.5 pounds Which is quite alot if you look at my history! :) Hope to get under 150 pounds soon!!'

Hey Hun, big hugs! Don't be too hard on yourself, just take things one day at a time! You don't need money to lose weight, you don't need a personal trainer, all you need is motivation and will power! Draw a line to the past and start again this minute. You can do this!!!

big hugssss sorry that you're going through a rough patch in your life, things will get better, stay positive! and given weight is something you can control, sort that one out will help you feel positive to sort other things out. best wishes!!

Thanks Jane. Happy new year to you too!! All the best, especially on the slimming front :)

Played wii this morning... did the usual body test, can't help but know how much I weigh today :p have lost 0.7kg since Wednesday! Hurray!! Now at 69.2kg = 152.24 pounds! Which is pretty much how much I weighed before my long holiday!! It was TOTM in the last few days, so... in fact I...

I think there's some coconut milk in the curry sauce making it synful, but from what I remember, M&S count on us meals are generally around 400 kcal, so, as a main meal, it can't be that bad for weight loss? good luck with WI later!! xx

food diary 7/1/2011 - GREEN 0845: rice porridge 0930: biscuit (2.5 syns) 1100: alpen light (half of HeB) 1200: alpen light (half of HeB) 1330: grilled fish with rice, udon soup noodle, cucumber pasta salad (fish as healthy extra) 1700: cafe latte (milk as HeA) and ice cream (180 cal so 9 syns)...

It's great to see there're more people on this Wednesday home weigh in thread :) I suppose the person losing the most weight each week can get the "slimmer of the week" title, just like what happens at the group ;) carmerina - I think it depends what you're after. if you want to use the 'syn...

try M&S or Hobbs, they are very generous, LOL! to be honest I can still feel my huge tummy sticking out... and I'm not happy with my arms and my thighs... but at least I'm a size smaller!!! hope to be a proper size 10 in 6 months' time!

haven't popped by for a long time, hope all is well, apart from the write off! tomorrow is another day!

Went shopping at M&S and Hobbs, am looking for tailored dresses for work. Grabbed some size 14's to try on, too loose, so I tried on some size 12's, perfect!! Can't believe it!!! I also bought a size 10 dress from M&S (must be something to do with the cutting of the dress though!) I know M&S...

pepper / cucumber sticks / celery sticks with salsa dips? fruit salad depends if you're doing EE / Green / Red, many other food are free too.

Of coz you're more than welcome to join!! :D The more the merrier, that way we can support each other!! :) Here's the link: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weekly-weigh/175705-wednesday-home-weigh.html

re trying for baby, how exciting! now you're all motivated!! :) good luck with quitting smoking too!!

I think as long as you are determined to follow plan and get weighed each week, you don't need to pay a fiver each week to get weighed! putting the fiver in your own tin is definitely a good idea! good luck :)

I've tried the groups and didn't find it useful... I didn't want to pay a fiver each week so I stopped going, thankfully I am still losing. If you want to do your weigh-in on a Wednesday you're more than welcome to join our Wednesday home WI group!! :)

Holiday was great, just that time flies too quickly! How's the Kinect? sounds fun! I played wii today too... and thankfully my wii fit age is 6 years younger than my real age! hurray. Let's hope SW work for all of us and we'll be a big loser in 2011!! (weight loss wise!)

Hello there!! Nice to have a new start for the new year!! Hope the Red will work better for you and you'll lose more!! I've been thinking about switching to Red too but I'm just too lazy to weigh out the carbs... may try that if I don't see much result!

Holiday was lovely, just that time flies too quickly! I'm really pleased I've only gained 1.5 pounds! Let's work hard in 2011 and hope we will reach our goals!! Food diary for today (5/1/2011) - RED 9am: tofu + konnyaku in miso soup (really wanted something warm in the morning!) 11am...
