Lost a pound and got my first stone! Slow and steady but getting there! Xx

I had a "flexible" day yesterday too! Hoping it won't impact too much on weigh in on Wednesday. Did try and syn it afterwards (oops) and looks like I have very few syns left for the next three days! Never mind I had a lovely mothers day and did resist the dessert and extra chocs - was the naan...

Well it was only a pound gain, so pleased with that! Back on it big time now - 8 weeks until I go to Butlins with a load of friends for an 80s weekend want to lose a stone from now for that! H xx

Not looking forward to weigh in today at all - have had a week very off plan as it was my 40th birthday and big party! Really enjoyed myself at the time but dreading the damage I've done! Will just draw a line under it and carry on next week as before - only had 1.5lbs to go until my first stone...

Lost a pound last night - not as much as I'd hoped but going in the right direction. Birthday today (the big 4 0!) and big party at weekend so not hopeful of big losses this coming week but we'll see! Well sone everyone on your losses this week - some great ones! H xx

I know exactly what you mean - if the scales don't move the first couple of days after weigh in then it seems they won't move at all! I lost four last week and was hoping for a loss this week too but not looking very likely even though been 100% all week - humph!

Sorry didn't get to post last night. After pound gain lat week, I lost 4lbs this week! Really pleased - if I can just do 2.5lbs next week then that'll be my first stone achieved before my big 4 0 birthday next Thursday - gulp! Here's to a good week everyone! H xx

Me too! After putting on a pound last week (although don't know why?) have been really trying to lose that and a couple more this week! Good luck everyone! H xx

My NSV this week - was feeling a bit miffed because I'd put on a pound at weigh in even though I'd been 100% on plan but realised that I can get my current trousers off without undoing them! Plenty more in the wardrobe to slim into lol but I was pleased nonetheless! H xx

Dear hubby, although it is lovely that you want to do the organising for my 40th birthday party, I'm not sure you realise that it's only TWO WEEEKS AWAY! Don't get stroppy with me when I ask to do something for it or make suggestions if you want to do it then DO IT! Pretty please let me help...

Mine definitely have - I like fruit a LOT more now and although I used to love them I can take or leave crisps now - only every now and again do I feel like some. Quite amazing really as this has never happened to me before and I have done a lot of dieting in my time!

I can't believe that I eat so much fruit now - there is something so lovely about a plate of fresh raspberries, strawberries, grapes and kiwi - its so pretty and tastes yummy! Before sw it would have been a bag of crisps and now I'm not really fussed about them - that truly is a breakthrough for...

Had two 250ml glasses of red wine last night and still have a headache now! Am dangerously close to becoming a lightweight I think as I've cut down so much now! No booze tonight ( well maybe just one small one!) as hubby is at the rugby at twickenham so I'm home alone with the kids - not as much...

I chose it after following rosemary Conley low fat diet for years. Lost over four stone on it but put most back on as it was so limited in the. About you could eat and required a lot of counting cals etc. I was hungry do much that sw seemed like a better idea as there's always something you can...

I had a yummy cooked breakfast for lunch - baked beans, bacon and sautéed potatoes! Along with fruit salad of apple, raspberries, strawberries and kiwi for my super free of course!

Sorry that should be serial not series! Auto correct drives me mad! Xx

I am a series weigher too - must get hubby to hide scales but tbh he would be rubbish at hiding them lol! I do like to be prepared enforce weigh in if the news is bad ( or good!) H xx

This is a great idea - I love planning my meals as I LOVE food! Today (Saturday) stir fried beef and broccoli, beanspouts and egg fried rice Sunday roast chicken with loads of veg Monday Leftover roast chicken with noodles Tuesday gammon and sw chips Wednesday (weigh day so later tea)...

Bit gutted this week as I've been on plan all week only to put on 1lb! :( trying not to let it bother me as its totm so will hopefully go by next week along with a bit more. However my target of losing a stone before my birthday is looking less likely now :( 6.5lbs in two weeks - don't really...

Same here - stuck 100% this week too - only theory for me is that it's time of the month - hopefully lose next week - trying not to let it get me down but it's hard :(

My weigh in tonight and although I've been on plan all week it's not looking good :( its time of the month so that might it be helping but very frustrating when I really want to lose 2lbs a week to hit my stone target before big birthday in just over 2 weeks - ho hum, got to just stick with it I...

Sunday's log! Have done 35 mins on the exercise bike this morning while watching "one born every minute" always makes me blub but am so engrossed in the tv that I forget about being saddle sore lol! Food so far B - fresh pineapple! L - sw quiche(hex a cheese) with fruit salad of kiwi...

Hi, The big day is 8th march - with party on the 10th march! Getting excited but also pressure is on - want to get to the stone mark before then - 5.5lbs to go in 3 weeks eek! Helen x

Missed posting yesterday as very busy all day shopping for dress for my 40th, lots of body magic charging round the shops and only had jacket potato with beans when we stopped for lunch - very sw virtuous! Was a good food day as well as exercise and pleased I got a dress I don't look too bad in...

Lost another 2lbs - yay! Need to keep this up for another three weeks to get one stone before my birthday!

Another 2lbs off for me - that's 8.5 in 3 weeks! Yay!

Thanks for the comments, will have to make sure I stay on track if people are popping in to keep an eye on me lol! Weigh in tonight and having a busy day so far! Got up early so I could get half an hour on the exercise bike before taking the kids to cinema (had no snacks at all - that's a...

I can certainly recommend the sw quiche - I do it for my lunchbox all the time. Also do tandoori chicken or some other marinade and eat it cold the next day for lunch xx

Good for you - fresh start and all that! You can do it! We all can, just need to keep on trying! Here's to a positive healthy week!

Oooo dragon fruit, never tried that one, although ive seen it in the supermarket, what's it like?

Morning all, Just completed 35 mins on the exercise bike and feeling good! Going to my mums for lunch, so taking sw quiche I made yesterday and my hex b ryvitas so I can eat the rights stuff! Food today - B muller light yogurt and banana L will be sw quiche, ryvitas and ham with lots off...

Me too, trying to only drink on Fridays and Saturday's from now on xx

Looking at all your breakfasts is making me hungry! I will be having muller yogurt and some kind of fruit, whatever looks yummy in my fridge, perhaps kiwi although they are a pain to peel lol! Have a good day everyone xx

Good luck, perhaps it won't be as bad as you think xx

What a bargain! Will look out for these, thanks xx

I was thinking just the same thing! I spoke to hubby and we have agreed to postpone valentines day until Friday - then I can cook a yummy meal and have a couple of glasses of wine ( I let myself have a drink or two at the weekends!) without worrying about wi Helen xx

Today's exercise done - 30 mins on exercise bike burning 384 calories! :eek: Food so far- B muller light raspberry and cranberry yogurt (yummy!) with fresh raspberries L sw quiche, 2 x ryvita with ham, fruit salad with apples, satsumas, grapes and strawberries D plan to have stir...

Hello Wednesday weighers - just wondered if I can join you as my group weighs on a Wednesday too? Need all the motivation I can get lol! It will be my third weigh in this week - doing ok so far 6.5lbs in the first two weigh ins, want to get to a stone total loss in the next four weeks before my...

Well hello all, thought I would bite the bullet and get myself a diary of how things are progressing for me on slimming world. A bit about me first - I am mum to three lovely (most of the time!) children, my son is 12 and I have twin girls who are 9. I work part time as a supply teacher in the...

Definitely agree with you there! Not so bad now mine are older (they'll be 10 in April) but when they were small I celebrated getting to the end of each and every day! How old are yours? Helen xx

So glad I read this post! I love my wine too - used to have at least a bottle on a Friday and Saturday (sometimes a Sunday too - oooops!) now I am being very restrained and usually have a couple of small glasses on a Friday and save a load of syns for a Saturday blow out! Been a hard week though...

Hi, well done on sts - def better than a gain and you may well have a big loss next week because of that! I lost 2lbs which is great but really was hoping for 2.5lbs as that would have given me my half stone - but hey ho that's in store for next week. Getting on with planning this weeks meals so...

Omg I could have written this post! It's my second week too, been 100% too and scale not looking fab either! Determined to stick with it - good to know the second week is sometimes like this, make me feel less of a failure lol! Hopefully we will both be surprised by the scales when we weigh in -...

Making classic chicken curry from the curry heaven book. Just got the herbs and spices out that I need and I have 12 - yes TWELVE! - spice pots lined up on my kitchen side! Should be a good one!! Kids will have poppadoms too, but I'm not sure if I want to waste my wine syns on poppadoms though...

Thanks for the advice everyone - must not weigh at home in future - lost 4.5lbs!! Very pleased! Xx

Weigh in day today - just been naughty and got on scales again - everything looks the same still! I have been 100% on plan all week. Only thing I did was save a few syns for wine on Saturday night - could it be that extra easy doesn't suit me? Really worrying about getting on scales tonight...

To my first proper weigh-in tomorrow night and I'm worrying that I won't have lost any weight! I feel like I'm eating too much for it to possibly work and I've been popping on my scales through the week but doesn't look like any change :( I know I shouldn't weigh at home and I know I should...

I'm new to slimming world too - my first proper weigh-in is on Wednesday - so hoping for a good loss to spur me on! Good luck with everything - I've found this site to be invaluable especially for the amazing recipes! Helen xx

Loving the marbles idea - must hunt some out! Have used this as motivation for good behaviour with my kids before but will be brill for syns too!

Thanks for all your replies everyone - didn't know what a can of worms (or beans lol) I'd opened! I shall certainly try and take it all on board - am trying to think of creative ways with the veg I do like - am sure I'll get there in the end! Helen xx

Hi, I have just started at slimming world on the extra easy plan. I know you're supposed to have 1/3 super free foods at each meal but I don't like any salad and sometimes just can't work veggies into the meal ( a bit fussy when it comes to veg too!) - is it ok to have fruit as your super free...

Thanks for your replies everyone! I went and came back armed with all the information and determination to make a go of it! Already planned todays meals and when i'm not at work tomorrow will sit down and plan out the weeks dinners to make it easier on myself. want to be able to post a big loss...

Am off to slimming world class for the first time tonight and am feeling really nervous! Hoping to make some major changes as I need to lose three stone - gulp! Hopefully it will be really friendly as I don't want it to seem a chore going every week. Please tell me it will be be better than I...

Hi, Thought it would be a good idea to start a diary thread to ramble on about how I'm doing and hopefully it will motivate me to stay on track! Started my new 'diet' yesterday - trying to follow low fat Rosemary Conley diet. Ate all low fat yesterday but didin't really count the cals - am...

Hi there, Does anyone do the Rosemary Conley online plan? I can't get to classes regularly so thought I might give this a go. Its £79.99 for a year so thought I would ask anyone who's given it a go if its worth it or not before going ahead. Thanks for reading, Helen xxx

Hi there - I'm new and just back from hols so I'll be around too! Been doing Rosemary conley for years and years with varying degrees of success (lost 4 stone initially - but have gained 2 stone in the last year ooops!) hence joining the forum - need motivation! Helen xxx

Its worse than I thought - just got on the scales and I now weigh 14 stone 8lbs! I'm 5'7" so need to be A LOT less than that! OMG - need to do something NOW - perhaps bike ride with the kids this afternoon...

Hi, I've just joined as I need some support this time round! After I had my twins 8 years ago I went to a Rosemary Conley class and lost 4 stone quite quickly and relatively easily. However i kept on putting on the last stone and then losing it again grrr! I managed to lose a fair bit last...
