LET’S GO, GIRLS! And a quick jive to Shania Twain. Less than 5 weeks to my hols and the lockdown lard needs to start shifting. Won’t be gone, will be moving the right way. Don’t want to look at photos of the first holiday in more than a year and be conscious of my chins and cheeks. Lunches for...

Mine was being moved to teach Reception. Getting in and out of their little chairs and running about all day has brought it home just how silly my weight is. 2 weeks in and doing well so far though!

I was at the top of 16st and now near the middle. Was a bit of a shock to find out I had to lose so much to get to my Club 10 - more than a stone and a half! Did well on first week which helps as I am on it this week and very motivated. Want that SoW and half stone sticker!

I am no longer morbidly obese! That's only after one week and Im within 0.2 of still being that large but I don't want to ever have to see that again. I know BMI is not as popular as it was but the label was a burden.

Asparagus and tuna salad from this months mag.

Last time I did SW I got good losses from doing the Wii Fit Plus circuits, was managing 3lb a week. The good thing on it is you can do 10 min step and jogs and put music channels on and the game will run in the background. Does Biggest Loser have Jillian Michaels on the game? Scary lady.

I restarted last week. I'm going to go for 8lbs - 2lbs a week should be achievable (touch wood!). Irene - 4 lb Cosmic Star - 7lb yummymummy 75 - 3lbs to reach goal Nicola85 - 14lb Becki - 8lb Rednicola -7lb k4c3y - 5lb xjacqui37x - 7lb Leighforty -4lb ErinW - 7lb TJ -7lbs Purple_rain -4lbs Amy...

1lb to go and then the stone is off for Christmas! With all the festive rushing about I reckon I can shift that by Thursday. Blackwidow - (November - 6lbs, 4lbs lost / Xmas - 18lbs, 10lbs lost) Bear 1982 - (Oct - 4lbs, 4.25lbs lost/ Xmas - 14lbs, 4.25lbs lost) kdma -(Christmas -21lbs, 21lbs...

In class today the Leader was talking about "the BIG CHANGE" that's happening in a few weeks and to pay attention tonight as it would be useful and then we got a comedy "nudge nudge wink wink". Wholegrain and wholewheat were the topic of the night so I am watching my fibre.

I am exactly the same about the Christmas night out! I know if I lose a stone then I should fit my dress as I have reached the point where I refuse to buy bigger clothes. Good luck!

I had a really good loss today so can I join the Team and add my loss for today? I am feeling on the ball at the minute and I want everyone to benefit from my joy! Blackwidow - (Oct - 6lbs, 0lbs lost / Xmas - 18lbs, 0lbs lost) Bear 1982 - kdma - Shabba - IreneH - vanda - Lainie10 - (Xmas -...

We shop at Aldi for fruits and veg and take advantage of that Super 6 offer so we save on that. My fruit for the day at work is the free fruit left over by the children if they don't want any and then I can take some home at the end of the day as well. If it's bananas I make them into banana...

I've found WW easier than SW and my weight loss is a bit better, if I can say that after one week. WW is more controlled and I know where I stand once I get home after work. On SW if I got the munchies about 8ish then I would have a smaller bowl of pasta or something - essentially, a second...

I get paid on Wednesday - this will be a must buy to go alongside the Zumba classes and to make the OH have a good laugh.

It is 8 weeks until our Christmas works night out so I would like to fit my LBD again from last year. It only just doesn't fit at the minute so I am 100% on plan until that time so I look good.

I love the title of the post, it made me laugh hard. Good luck with your 2st!

Jane76 - what about a gentle swim as the water supports everything? A proper swim, not my version - jacuzzi, sauna and steam!

Superb, Hathor!

I've maintainted this week. I will put this down to all the exercise I have done as I had 2 cooked breakfasts and a KFC over the weekend so the situation could have been dire. I am undergoing a fish week this week to kick start myself and put everyone under orders for next weekend to not let me...

There's a lot of literature on the interweb if you type in a query about exercise and weight loss. I'm sticking with my hour of pink cheekedness and profuse sweating as an indicator of exertion. It's the exertion which seems to be key if you want a loss - I've gone from a light stroll with the...

I have done 7 hours of dance class or yoga this week. Yesterday and today had a stroll with the dog to ease the muscles and because I could actually dance no more without shrivelling in to a prune as I have sweat like never before. If I don't show a loss tomorrow I will be so mad. My stomach and...

I've just been through the recipe thread and copied all the fish recipes I liked the idea of for today's shop. I hope having a week of fish will also sort out my skin as I have been a bit blotchy of late and I never have any problems with my skin normally. Kedgeree for tea tonight, mmh! Debt...

Krupskya - I had a go at making the hummous in the World of Flavours. It was a massive fail so I am with you all the way with the tahini.

I'm in the zone now and barring any awfulness tonight I will have managed 4 100% days. Plus each day I have done 2 gym classes. I am resting over the weekend to let my muscles relax as I have read somewhere that helps with weight loss as well. Fingers crossed!

My newest Consultant is the best explainer ever and has explained Syns to me so I haven't got my brain thinking that I need to avoid them. It goes back to the synergy thinking that was posted above - Slimming World is a food combining diet. She said that it will only work if you have a little of...

I am making stew for tea and I am just Synning the olive oil. I'm not spraying with low cal oil or even dry frying, the olive oil adds to the taste. I'm also making Hummingbird chocolate cupcakes later (I won't be eating any *le sigh*)and I wouldn't even think about replacing any of the...

Only 3?! I couldn't exercise that kind of control over myself at the moment! Don't be downhearted I think you did really good stopping at 3. It is Friday after all.

Horse Rider, I was at Salsa Fit today and there was loads of different people there: the people who make you sick because they are good at it and know all the moves, the young girls who are throwing themselves about and having a good time, the chubs like me who are throwing themselves about and...

I would try yoga as well. All the mad bending and controlled breathing has some kind of effect on pushing things along the tubes. The day after is a "proud" day where you wish you had weighed yourself before and after (sorry for being graphic but it's true!).

This is a great idea! I feel *enormous *clumsy *embarrassed I will feel *graceful *healthy *incredibly proud I know that the last one is 4 words, but I need to quantify the proudness that I will be feeling when I have lost all that weight.

I've found that the more you drink the more you want and you just become used to it. In school we encourage all the children to have water bottles and to drink when they feel thirsty. Since I've started working there I've drunk a lot more than I used to. What has been nice is that I used to...

In the World of Flavours cookbook they do a Tarka Dhal, like a lentil soup with lots of spices. It is gorgeous. Boyfriend took it to work and all the other people were having a good salivate over it. I take cous cous salad or bulgar wheat, and also tuna nicoise when I need my French fix.

That's the best incentive ever! I've informed my other half he is out at Christmas if I do not get a ring on my finger but he seems in no rush, he just wants it all planned and done so he just has to turn up. Apparently once that is done then he will ask - confused!! I found it hard at home...

Zombiecakes - Ta for the shoes pointer, ordered myself 2 pairs because I love them! I'm feeling great from all the exercise I have done this week and I have been 100% most days. I dread going back to work and not being able to keep it up. I am preparing my head for the first 3 days back -...

Zumba is basically Salsa Fit with more shoulder shimmys and you shout "Zooooooomba" every 15 mins. I love it! I've been to a couple of classes this week and there are some large ladies there so everyone is in the same boat - think about the classes you go to as all of mine are the "We are here...

Zombiecakes, where are your shoes from as I must have them to go under my wedding dress next year? Speaking to the Matriarch today and I have done all sorts to make her happy about the whole thing, biggest thing being no tattoos on show at all, but them I can hide until later.

I am so glad there are those people who are taking the scenic route to losing - through choice or otherwise. I have stepped up the Body Magic this week as 1lb on my first week just doesn't fit in with my friends and I want to get a half stone sticker before work starts again at the end of...

I was 100% yesterday and today until my boyfriend came home in a mood from work and said we were going for tea. I went to Salsa this morning and going to my Skinny Jeans class tonight but I need to really get on board to lose some proper weight by Christmas. This week I am trying to fit in 2...

This has made the plan dead clear! Especially the calorie breakdown for Syns, think that will be the one thing that will stop me from sabotaging myself. Cheers!

There is some psychology behind week 3 of new regimes - it's the week where people struggle most after being all motivated. I am planning for mine as I don't want to get the sneaky eats or feel that I can take it easy. Show your food diary to your Consultant and have a few days Success...

There is a model who keeps a bar of Godiva in her fridge for cravings - if she wants some chocolate then she goes and has a sniff and that is enough for her. Well, I had a full on knee-slapping, belly-cramping laugh at that. I wouldn't want to even aspire to that as I do enjoy a Curly Wurly in...

Only a pound off this week. I can blame the late night food after having a drink so at least I know where I have gone astray. Full steam ahead this week as i have got gym classes until Saturday with friends, so I MUST go. Better luck next week!

I've only just had my first weigh in so I haven't got a dramatic NSV but after a Zumba class last week my boyfriend said "You look really pretty tonight" because I was all pink cheeked. I can't wait for that moment when I can wear my trousers without getting the line on my belly because they are...

Today I lost a pound! The first pound of my SW journey. Consoling myself with how this can snowball in to 2lb next week if I work hard, stay on plan and Body Magic away. :).

Thanks everyone! I lost a pound today. Not the usual "7 lb in a week" as lots of other people's first week but I have had a drink which leads to the munchies. Having a dry week this week so there is none of the late night eating going on. Week 1: -1lb

Can I get in on this? I get weighed for the first time tomorrow and this week has been a poor week with the food/alcohol intake. Everyone so far has done really well so I want a piece of this group's magic! Rach.

I joined again last Monday so am new again to SW. I have had a quick look through this thread and keen to join in as this time I am really going to make a good go of it. This week hasn't been great so any weight loss tomorrow will be good. I will be trying the fruit roulade though it sounds great!

I have been reading these threads as an unregistered user for months and I am astounded by how kind everyone is. I have just restarted Slimming World a full stone heavier than the last time I joined. This time I am determined to make it work and have even joined the gym - on a Classes Only...
