Yes-it is really hard I agree. You just have to make sure you have snacks on hand. I generally find that so long as there is something in my mouth, I don't feel left out. I always have a fruit bowl on my desk, a Brita filter jug (to make sure I'm as hydrated as possible) and I bring things...

Hey there, I just thought I'd say hello.... I have been doing Atkins for the last four days now (already lost 4lbs!). I have moved over from Slimming World-which was and is great but it opens me up to far too much temptation of the naughty things. I really need to be good-I'd love to be at...

Hi there, I weighed out 28g of musli this morning-is Musli a healthy B? It was a high fibre one from M&S. (scrummy-but you don't get a lot for 28g-dried rasins are quite heavy). Thanks. x

Weigh in day tomorrow-I hope to be bang in the middle of the 12's (at least). I hope to lose at least 1lbs. I have been so good.

I can't see why it wouldn't be. If I drink too much fizzy water I get tummy ache from all the bubbles. :(

Has anyone else noticed the massive lack of vegetables they include in their recipes? What ever happened to 1/3 super free? I cooked a chicken curry from the website last night and the only veg in it was onion. I added, spinich, potato, carrots, mange tout to bump it up. It would have been...

left over syn free curry made from scratch last night-I can't decide if I want a heap of chips or rice-probably rice though.

I started it last week and came down with a horrible cold. I only did one day. I'm waiting till I can breathe again and start it back up. It wasn't easy and I am used to doing exercise. Looking forward to starting it again. x

Bad idea-return them or hide them. If you are doing well it means you will think "ah well I have been so good-I can have that (insert vice here)" or if you are doing bad you will thing "this is rubbish-what's the point I'm going to have (insert vice here)" That's what happened to me. My...

As of yesterday, I am now 12 stone 8lbs. I started my journey at 15 stone 9lbs. I have 1 stone 12 lbs to go until my 10 stone 10lbs target. I am 5'7"-currently a size 14 although now have a few things that are a 12 (still not trousers though-that'll be a long way off with my thighs!). I am...

Hi guys, After a week of being 100% on plan and only losing 1lb, my consultant has put me on SAS to see what is creeping in. I am sure its nothing as I am 99% sure I have been bang on plan. I hope this works-my friend said she has always had good losses on her SAS weeks. Wondering if...

Good job my head is in the right place. I am currently in a I WANT TO BINGE ON BAD FOOD MOOD. I always have bad things at my desk and they stay there for a while as I scoff my heart out on fruit usually. It's my bosses birthday tomorrow and I went to M&S looking for a birthday cake. I...

you will feel better resisting them and then feel ten times stronger after. It really isn't worth it-all you'll end up with is weight gain and a side order of gulit. Be in control, be focused, remember your reasons. You can do this-it's only chocolate-not oxygen. :)

Giving up something for Lent? Now, I am not really religious but I like the idea of giving something up as it keeps me focused. I wondered if any of you are thinking of giving anything up. Mine is usually chocolate but for the first time I am so focused on Slimming World that I don't really...

ouch....hope it goes well. :)

Whoop! I had such a nice dinner-my friend took one look at the plate and said-"You can't tell me this is Slimming World". There wasn't a single syn on my plate. A whopping piece of sirloin steak, huge pile of slimming world chips, two fried eggs and a big dollop of mushy peas. Yummy...

These things happen. I am potentially in that same position today if I allow myself to be. I am going over to a friends house and then into town (where we will go to M&S and get bits for lunch), shopping and then back to hers for some scoffing. I intend on buying some salad and some cold meat...

Thank you so much Laura! Not too bad at all for a little chocolate fix. :) xxxxx

12g bar values per 100g 515kcal 7.2g Protein 230g Carbs 70g fat I follow extra easy. Would really appriciate some help in syn hunting. :) xx

Hi guys, Apologies for not weighing in this week-I have been rather ill, been in hospital. There is something wrong with my liver-still being tested at the moment. I'm back on track as of yesterday. Feel pretty flat. I haven't put on any weight so thats the main thing. I really want to...

Scoff, scoff, scoff is my way on SW. Its worked so far. I couldn't believe it myself in my first week-I lost 4.5 lbs. Its liberating. My tips would be; -Don't deprive yourself, have something you want every day -Load up on a healthy hearty breakfast. -If you work at an office don't take...

I'd love to join in-my first challenge on here. Would you put me down for 8lbs please? My boyfriend is taking me away early September as a treat and I would love to be into the 11 stone bracket by then (as I know the holiday will be a food fest...we are going to the Black Forest. Ummmm cake!)...

Phew! Stayed the same this week. Miracle for sure! Need to be extra good Sunday-Friday. I want at least a 2lb loss this week. x

Girls....I didn't need to worry that much after all. I put on 3/4 of a lb. I honestly thought it would have been at least 2. :) Not bad considering all the socal and eating that happened this week. The only thing I have in the way this week is my company event. Its tomorrow so that gives...

You are a little bit shorter than me though hun. I do feel good-although this is going to be a gaining week......super good for me next week. I love seeing the "old" me. There aren't many photos of me like that though. There are millions of snaps of me now. I love having my picture taken...

Believe in yourself. Set weekly goals. Eat loads of the good stuff and stay happy. x

Prove them wrong. Stay strong and focused. Kick consultant butt girl! xx

I was on a downer as I have had a bad week. Reading your post made me remember how good I feel now I am in lower dress sizes. Thanks for sharing the joy and making me remember my own. WELL DONE! xx

Yeah that's good advice. I have 42lbs so far so I know what I am doing. It just needs someone to tell you sometimes. (much like a naughty school girl). What is a fishy week? x

I went away this weekend just gone to meet my bf's parents for the first time. It was great-Slimming World wasn't. :( Today is his birthday. Slimming World is shaking to the core with fear over today. Tomorrow it's my flatmates birthday-"let's go out for a meal" my friends proclaim...

Love the charm bracelet idea. Trying to think of how to bring it up in conversation. "will you buy me pressies for weight loss" Advice needed you lucky ladies! Still I can't grumble-he is paying for my holiday in Sept. ;)

I'm not looking forward to Friday. Met the boyfriend's parents this weekend and as they live so far away I was out of control food wise. Today is his birthday and its going to be a flop. I hope its not too bad. Rubbish. AND its my housemates birthday tomorrow night and going for a meal...

Yes-these are the ones I mean. I know they have syns but its good to have a quick meal that is low in syns. Quick food tends to be high in syns. :)

Thank you so much. Its not been easy. I still have 30lbs to go. Lot's of people tell me that is too much but that takes me to the middle of the healthy weight range. Even if it is too much I'd love to say I have been there. I'm not going to be ill at that weight so I might aswell go for it...

Ah best of luck. I tend to find that if I need to undo damage I will eat lots of vegetable rich foods and snack on free foods avoiding too many syns from snacks and sauces for a few days.

Me at probably my largest. Just shy of 16 stone. Below-I'm to the right of the bride in the turquoise dress and blonde hair and the other two photos are of me taken on my June holiday. 12stone 10lbs. I love Slimming World. :)

I am with you on that one....boiled eggs are the way forward. I have one in my fridge waiting for me to go with my lunch. I even had one after eating my cereal. I find it fills you up and its tasty to. I love pickled eggs too. YUM!

Its a dangerous trap to fall into. I did it with my ex. We got together-I was already carrying a little more weight than I should but nothing a few weeks dieting wouldnt have stopped and then bang 8 years (and 4 and a half stone later) I had a huge problem. Love makes you comfortable. I am...

Asda are doing an offer of £1 per bag of Tilda microwave rices. Really great for low syn, quick meal. I love the vegetable one with cottage cheese, chopped up boiled egg and if you have time any left over veg to bulk it out. A really yummy and quick meal.

It's only 9:30 and after reading all of your comfort foods is making me really. Its star week too-that means I am having to control the hungry beast inside me. Guuuur!

YUM!!! I just came back from Jazzercise and was in need of a carb fix but didn't want something massive. I cooked a small amount of pasta and added two extra light laughing cow cheese triangles and then stirred in some vegemite. I think I have found my new comfort food. This is now up there...

Thanks guys-really appriciate the ideas. I like the idea of fishy so mighy go for the scallops in chorizo. How synful is chorizo? x

My other half knows. He is a slim one though which makes it really hard. I only plucked up the courage to tell him how much I weigh a month or so ago. He was fine about it and didn't judge me. If they love you they will accept you for who you are and not what weight you are. It is just a...

It's my wonderfully supportive boyfriend's birthday on Wednesday and am planning to cook him a special meal. I am doing fillet steak, roast potatos (his in oil and mine in fry light) and roasted veg. I have no idea what to do for a starter. I want to save my syns for pudding as I plan on...

1lb off this week-very happy as its been a naughty one! Hope you all did well! xxx

Hi guys, due to money worries I have had to quit going to Slimming World. I have purchased a set of scales and intend on weighing myself every Friday morning. So I shall be posting on here every Friday to keep on track. I have lost 2 stone with Slimming world so far and plan to continue on to...
