Can I join this club?? I started at 20st 1.5lb and I'd like to be 10 stone so over half of my weight to go. Well done everyone on the fab losses, inspirational :) xx

Well done on all the fantastic losses. I lost 2lbs this week and got slimmer of the week :D Food has been completely off but have done 7 hours of dancing so I was very lucky in terms of weightloss. Back on it today!!! Have a super week everyone xxx

I do indeed sweat a lot. I go red very quickly when I begin to exercise, even if I don't feel like i'm working that hard It's comforting to know I'm not the only one wih this problem. Hope I can find a way to find peace with it so I can get on and exercise xx

Your welcome lilmissgiggles :) Hope you have a superawesome week x No secret really Jen, just that I'm a big lass with lots of weight to lose - I would like to eventually lose 10stone and I'm in the early stages of my weightloss hence the big losses... I do green/red days and not EE as I have...

Thank you all for the lovely replies and advice. I LOVE ZUMBA - had so much fun and didn't even mind the public exercise or the fact I have little coordination hehe :) CONVERT :) xx

Well done on the fab losses :) lilmissgiggles - it can be really disheartening when your exercising and eating so well and have a gain - I've certainly been there. I've experienced this and seen it a lot in group where people are exercising and don't lose or gain - I remember at my last group a...

I think its definately possible - I do green days as its a lot cheaper - i tend to eat a lot of meals such as beans or spaghetti on toast, or with jacket potato, pasta, rice etc - frozen veg is cheaper so there are definately ways. Those threads will be the best place to look :) Good luck xx

Hello everybody, Just wondering whether anybody else is plagued by the embarrassment of going BRIGHT red/pink/purple when they exercise... It doesn't matter if I'm exercising for 10minutes or an hour this happens, >Embarrased< and it makes me not exercise in public a lot of the time. The...

Hello everyone! I'm not the most confident person when it comes to exercising in public and I go BRIGHT RED... so I tend to shy away from classes usually. Anyway Groupon had an offer too good to resist on Zumba classes so I've bought 10weeks of Zumba and was just wondering what to expect and...

Thankyou, I have done all green days this week but when I have a bit more money I usually do a mixture of red/green. I'm not really a fan of EE as I personally don't lose as much weight on it and I tend to eat a lot of quick, simple and budget meals due to my lifestyle - I find it difficult...

Hey saturday weighers :) I rejoined class last week and weighed in for the first time today... 8.5lbs off - Shockedface :O Beaming :) Well done on the brilliant losses xx

I'm a fan of green and original myself. Recently rejoined class and got the whole extra easy sell again but it just doesn't fit with my lifestyle. My reasons are: 1) I don't eat veg with every meal - I like simple meals and i'm on a tight budget so meals such as beans/spaghetti on toast or...

I'm in - rejoined class yesterday :D x

Hi all, I've had a strange few weeks. I put on 5lbs and lost 3lbs since. Its all been a bit of a mess - its been really hard. Anyway I'm still here, still trying to lose weight but I'm not sure how easy things are going to be over the next few weeks. I haven't been very well and the long and...

Thanks for the well done's, very happy this week :) and also great success this week for everyone - a huge WELL DONE to everyone :) You are all awesome!!! I am becoming Mindful about what I am actually doing to reach my goal - trying to think... What am I doing today that is helping me to...

Well done on the fab losses everyone :) Just 1lb for me this week, but whereas I would usually be disappointed and either stuff my face or not eat for a while I'm really happy. 1lb closer to my goal and every little bit counts. I'm hoping to have a big number this week although I will be...

Thats very cool - I asto-travelled once and it was amazing I would love to do it again, and I once had a very lucid dream which I was able to control and that was great too :)

Just a quick post to say hello and sorry i've not been around this week, been a bit poorly but on the mend. I'll be weighing in tomorrow instead of today so fingers crossed for a loss (infact a maintain would be nice after a tough week). Hope everyone is well, and get well soon Sapi *hugs* xx

Thanks for the replies - I think you're right about needed to sort the mind out and then the rest will follow I've just started using Food focus which is virtually the same as MFP and this has been helping to make me realise just how many calories i'm eating, and making me think about my...

Hey thanks for the reply. I think you are definately right about setting small goals - I've joined a 20 week challenge on one of the other sections and hoping to lose 60lbs before seeing in 2012 but I've also set a much smaller target to reach and that is to lose 10% of my current weight. I've...

Weigh day!!! I've lost 3lbs :) Huzzah! Happyface :) I've updated the list and I've also added your loss too Sapi Ketawa - Well done :) Hope you're feeling better today Ladyfi - Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing so well! Evy_Starlight - (20lbs to lose - 20lbs to go) gettingfitat50 -...

Good to hear you're on board - Like I said in my first post Reflex Ridge is the best and most fun workout i do :) xxx

Let me know how you get on :)

Download is awesome. Glasto is on my list :)

Hey! I'm into mediums etc and I'm near birmingham. I haven't used any specifically from birmingham so I can't offer a specific recommendation but the Zen Shops in Digbeth and Moseley have lots of different mediums etc attached to them. I'd say find out some more about those and pick one that...

lol - you're in good company on that one - seeing myself was a real shock :O - how did you find it? xx

oh... lots and lots - Love metal/rock/ska/punk etc. System of a Down, Skindred, Slipknot, Stone Sour, Iron Maiden, All that remains, Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Alexisonfire, Disturbed, Foo Fighters, Streetlight Manifesto, Reel Big Fish, Less than Jake and the list could go on and on and on...

I can't believe It's taken me so long to remember I posted this after I went off the boards for a bit... I've really enjoyed reading all of your stories and experiences:) Thank you for sharing. The paranormal fascinates me and I am a Paranormal Investigator. I have travelled all over the UK...

Thankyou both for your replies and for the tips aesir22 - I've been considering re-joining SW as I stick to plan far better when I attend the groups. I've made a list of all the things I will like to do when I am at various goals, some at interim goals, and some when I am at target and this as...

Hey Danni, Biggest loser is very hard yes (in a good way) and if you stick with it, it gets easier :) One thing about biggest loser that I think is invaluable is that it scans your body and represents it on screen as a blob and I totally hadn't realised the shape of my body in 3D - I only ever...

We can do it Mrs JK!!! Evy - Had a great first day using food focus - i never realised how easily you can consume your daily allowance if you don't keep track. Also had that realisation that my portions are huge, and i guess that has not been helped in the past by doing slimming world with...

Welcome to all the newbies :) And well done Ladyfi on the jeans achievement - excellent news!

Hope the move goes smoothly Mayweather :) Having not long moved house I can appreciate the dedication needed to get everything sorted! I also think you are definately right about needing to sort your head out! For me this is definately right, If I take care of my mind then the rest will follow...

Wow, I could have written that myself (the experiences with food of course). Its so comforting to know that I'm not the only person who has ever experience such issues with binging and not feeling full. I have been so disgusted with myself sometimes that I feel like I am a monster, very alone...

Hey everyone, Thanks for the warm welcome... I'm kay, 23 years old and lifelong food addict. Determined to shed the weight for many reasons and my goal is my best friends wedding next June where I am bridesmaid, what more motivation do you need! I struggle to eat breakfast but when I get into...

Heya! Thank you so much for replying to my message and sharing your experience with me :) First of all I’d like to say how awesome it is that you’ve been able to control your binging and that you are doing amazingly well :) Huge well done! Reading your post really inspired hope inside...

Thank honeybee :) Nice to meet you and great news about the jeans x

Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will be of some use even though it wont quite answer all of your questions. I have both wiifit and kinnect and like you got quite bored with wiifit. I have biggest loser for kinnect and quite enjoy using it although I find...

Hi all! I think I belong here!! I have just over 9 stone to lose and wondering how on earth i'm going to keep motivated when the end goal seems so far away that i'm not sure i'll ever make it :/

...Only just fitting on Air ride at alton towers, and needing them to push the bar down enough for it to be safe and then the harness not raising at the end because of said force and them having to get a key to release it whilst everyone was waiting to get on the ride :O and more recently being...

Thanks Ladyfi and well done gettingfitat50 :) x

Hi everyone, I hope I'm posting this in the right place, apologies if i'm not! I just wondered whether there is anybody out there who has successfully gone on to lose weight in a healthy way after having an eating disorder? Is it possible? Will dieting always cause a relapse? I know i'm...

Mayweather, thankyou for such an amazing post which has motivated me to make changes right now, no more putting off until tomorrow... what can be done today :) Hope you don't mind me joining here... I know i'm slightly late but I believe I was meant to see this post. I'm a lurker here and I'm...

ooo Great suggestions :) Thanks for the ideas, much appreciated!

I work so have to take a packed lunch. Think I will try the rice idea :) Yeah I love bread, fresh bloomers, baguettes, crusty rolls, white bread. Wholemeal doesn't really satisfy my cravings but i'm going to try swapping it and see how I go :D

Hello all, Any ideas on things I can replace my beloved bread with? Especially at lunch time as this is when I really struggle to eat anything other than a sandwich

Thankyou both for your replies. Its comforting to know i'm not alone in experiencing this. I'm going to try the affirmations/positive thinking and see how i go. I think you are right, i have a real hang up about people watching me but they are probably too busy doing there own thing!

Thankyou so much for your replies. I'm actually feeling excited about going to class now! Donna, thankyou so much for making me realise that you are right. I havent failed, stopping altogether would be failing. I'd never thought of it like that! Here's to a fresh start and getting the extra...

Thought I could go it alone but I was wrong :eek: So with my tail between my legs i'm finally going back to class. The good news is my friend is also coming with me. She lost 6 stone on SW when we first attempted it 2 years ago and has kept it off. She's a real inspiration. Fingers...

Hello, When I exericise I go the brightest shade of red you could ever imagine. It is so very embarrasing. There is no cure for it but I just wondered whether anybody else knows of anything that could help me? It makes me so self conscious that I shy away from exercise. I think people will...

Hello, Just wondered whether anybody here is interested in paranormal phenomena... Anybody had any spooky experiences? ;)

This video is great. You are right, every woman should watch it :)

Thats fantastic :)

Thankyou all for your responses. Its great to hear so many success stories and suggestions. The age old money issue, to afford or not to afford. Unfortunately at the moment lack of money is as serious as walking into a supermarket with a pot of pennies (thankgoodness for the coinstar...

Good luck :) I'm restarting SW tomorrow although can't afford classes at the moment. I'm sure you'll do , look forward to seeing your results :)

Thankyou both for your replies :) Before I left they had introduced EE so I have the books and understand the concept (I think, hehe) I went to see my doctor for a referral and they wouldn’t offer me anything. They said that because I was not diabetic I am not eligible for weight loss club...

Hi all, After much debate in my mind I have decided to retry Slimming World. I joined in Nov 08 and lost a stone but then christmas happened, and this, and that and you know how it goes. I never got my head round it once i'd lost the plot a bit. Anyway my best friend has just got engaged...

Hiya, When I went to the SW group in fenton about 2 years ago there was a butcher who came to the group who did syn free sausages but he was from Madeley i think? But they were great and very tasty. Is this an actual butchers shop who is selling them? I'd be really interested in finding out...

Hi all, I am aware that eating disorders are contraindications for VLCD and I wondered whether anyone knows whether that includes 'history of (but now recovered)' as well as currently suffering from? I want to do a VLCD but worry that I will not be accepted as I have had bulimia. I worry...

Thank you all for a very warm welcome :)

Hi there, I'm new also *waves*

Hello everyone, I'm 22 years old and have always been overweight :( I hated 'being fat' when i was younger and swore i'd never get any bigger. 7 years and stones later I know I need to change. I just need a bit more support. I'm currently 280lbs and looking to lose about 140lbs. Over the...
