Ahhhhhhh but piercings are so much fun! They make you feel super secksy and naughty cause no one knows you have them until you tell them - hee hee! My tattoo goes all down my spine - can't wait to get rid of my back fat and wear some backless tops - swit swoo!!

I thought it might be time to resurrect this thread, and see if anyone has achieved any of their goals? Sadly, I'm still burning through tights like a pyromaniac, but I have achieved one goal; I've stopped saying to myself "you can't do that because you're big" Things I've done now I've...

honk :D first day back on in I don't know how long but 100% and minimal syns, after a carb binge yesterday. In-your-face spare tyre!

I fell off roundabout December.... Got back on in March.... Fell off in April, and am now 12lbs up from my lowest weight, but still 31lbs down overall. I know I'm amongst friends who understand it when I say, it's really hard... I don't want to be the person who has to say no to the adhoc ice...

Hi all, I've done EE every day for 20 weeks, and have lost over 40lbs and I've only ever gained when I've not followed the plan. I haven't done any exercise during this time, so can't say if that has an impact, though I imagine it does... it used to wreck my numbers on WW, which has left...

Holler!!! I can start us a facebook group - what do you want to call the team people? My "story" Started August at 16st 2lb. I got down to 13st 8lb by Dec 10th, and gave up for Christmas. Currently 14st1lb. Re-starting January 10th, after my OH 30th birthday this weekend. Target is...

Yeah, I need this - kinda had December off... and haven't really gained loads, but need to really get my arse in gear and hammer January. Good luck to all!! Fillimum 7lbs+(0lost,7lb+ to go ) Crumble 10lbs (0 lost, 10lbs to go) Louise K 10lbs (0 lost, 10lbs to go) jenniferyellowhat 10lbs...

Larara - you look like a total fox! You go get em! :D

DUDE! You are a total legend. *bows* I remember you being one of the first people I read a post by on here; you've certainly been an inspiration to me and a lot of others by the number of responses you've received! I'll even let you borrow my "used to be fatter" tagline - always raises a...

I keep forgetting to update this - I clearly am rubbish!! Only 2.5lbs to go to reach November target - please let it happen this week!! Sweet Pink - Aiming for 14lb loss (6.5lbs off) Clairex - 5lb off, 6 to go rh00by - aiming for 9lb loss - 6.5lb off, 2.5lb to go Mummyem - aiming for 7lbs...

Could lie and say I'm sticking to it, but I've already started buying treats... will try to have mostly on plan days, but we'll see... Am sooooooooo excited at the prospect of being naughty :D

Howdy elb4160 I am one of those ladies with PCOS, and I have previously lost weight following Weight Watchers, and more recently on Slimming World. I have been on the extra easy plan since July 26th 2010, with a few bad weeks (my fault entirely), but in 16 weeks, I have lost 34lbs. I...

It's good, but it's not quite right.... did have a gain though, thanks to a week's residential course and buffet dining :mad: sueschoices - aiming for 8lbs off Sweet Pink - Aiming for 14lb loss (3.5lbs off) Clairex - 5lb off, 6 to go rh00by - aiming for 9lb loss - 3lb off, 6lb to go...

I might rent a drip when I get to target and wheel it in to work, just to take the complete p*ss, go upto her and say "gosh you were right, I wished I'd listened..." Mug!

I mocked a design up, but it won't let me paste it on here!

Stefanie That's what happened last time.... :sigh: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/170664-possibly-greatest-comment-ever.html#post2856615 but not this week *cracks whip*

For those who read the original post, I thought you might be keen to hear the most recent update. So the lady at work who said to me "Didn't you used to be fatter" has come out with yet another belter this week. I'm getting a coffee from the kitchen, and she was with a friend of mine, who...

Funcurls - legendary post! Congratulations on your achievements and thankyou for sharing it on here - people like you make people like me keep going. I've come to realise that with SW nothing is impossible, and I finally feel in control of my life. :D

I got married in New York in May 2009, and went from 16st to 13st 6lb for my wedding day. Have attached a picture at the bottom for you to see how a "fat bride" can look; pretty fierce :D Having said that, I think the advice you've had so far has been spot on: you need to feel happy in...

Thing is jillymeg, I hated eating badly. Found myself putting food in my mouth that I used to love, and thinking, "what are you doing?! - you're not even hungry?!" I think the best thing about doing this, is that your target may be a long way off, but things start feeling really achievable...

Ladies and Gentlemen, *drumroll please* I am 12 weeks into plan, and have hit my 10% this week, after a staggering 6.5lb loss on the scales Saturday morning, taking my total weight loss to 25.5lb. Ta-daaaaaaaaa! I don't go to classes, so can only share my success with my OH and work...

Had a horrendous weekend myself (probably cause I have lost 1lb in two weeks). Saturday I had M&Ms (11 syns, argh!) then thought stuff it, and had Fish and Chips from the chippy, then I had a thornton's choc, then yesterday continued in the same vain. I weigh in Saturday morning (going it...

I'm 28.... Zac is only a few years younger than me.... I reckon I could teach him a few things. Age doesn't matter anyway - look at Dustin Hoffman in the graduate. :D BTW - have sneaked a bit of the icing on the cupcake... BIG MISTAKE, my tastebuds have practically gone out of control..

Ladies, ladies, ladies.... Simon Baker... gorgeous?! I think you're losing your eyesight as well as your extra poundage. Now, Zac Efron..... :D BTW - if I wasn't following plan 100% today, I would mash the cupcake that my sabotaging friend bought me this morning right into my face, and...

*quivers slightly* Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmcustard

I play this game with myself because it keeps me motivated (and I admit it is a bit sad/loser-ish) But, if I wasn't following the plan 100%, I would love to murder a ruck of chocolate fudge cake and pouring cream, chased down with some rose prosecco.

I'll take Zac Efron over the weight loss if I get a choice, so if you see him, send him my way :D

SUPERB post! My Christmas wish is to feel more confident and attractive at the work's Christmas do, having hopefully lost another 15-20lbs. Whilst I'm at it, I'd quite like to have to Zac Efron knock on my door in very few clothes, and need to come in for a warm :D

If you want a laugh - go read my post from this morning; sure to brighten anyone's day ;)

OMG I was having this -exact- conversation last night. I was trying on clothes for a party I'm going to on friday night, and I'm clearly 20lbs lighter than I was but still I'm standing there, looking in the mirror, saying to my OH "I look horrendous". I hope it does get better Larara...

don't post the recipe - I may end up fatter again! ;)

totally agree suplizi! When I tell people my target, they do the slack jaw, wide eyed "REALLY?!?! how much do you weigh?!" and you think, "er.... sorry.... you didn't just say that did you? No, I thought not" Folk's eh - you can't beat them.... more's the pity. ;)

Mummy Helen - I wish I'd felt special in a positive way! It was a bit of a freak show feeling.... anita1975 - Also wish it was the higher ground I'd taken through choice, was just shocked. She didn't offend me, I was just gobsmacked. It is quite hilarious in hindsight :)

Tracie - I lifted my jaw off the floor and wide eyed said, "er... yes, I suppose I did" EPIC FAIL from me :)

meadowbankles - I felt really special :)

Just thought I'd share. Washing my hands this morning in the ladies' at work, when a random woman in my office looks me up and down and says..... *drumroll* "Didn't you used to be fatter?" EPIC

Should have also mentioned, I'm looking forward to wearing calf boots, and not having a donut-shaped fat roll around my knee.... who knew knees could be fat?!?! :confused:

Hi All, The inspiration for this post is a result of attending a wedding last week..... Let me set the scene - So, I'm getting changed into my purdy Monsoon frock (which was lush, btw) and on goes the fluffy bolero number, the fascinator, the jewellery, and then, the dreaded sparkly sheer...

Just had a five day binge. Was doing ace, but went a wedding, then alton towers, then my friends for a meal, then out for lunch yesterday, then cinema - the pounds go up and up! Am looking forward to not eating crap again for a while, but daren't weigh in this week - eeeeeeeeeeeeek! Keep...

I added chicken, bacon, brocolli and green beans to mine. deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious. Definitely recommend!

I'm obviously living on the moon, as I have no idea what you peoples are talking about..... Are they super tasty and worth investing in?

Thanks ladies - :) That pasta is bloomin lovely! As I say, I added green beans, brocolli, chicken and some bacon bits, but I didn't add too much stock to the philly cause I wanted a thicker, gloopier sauce. It has fast become a regular in my household now, and reheats ok to take to work for...

So I'm ticking along pretty well - 16.5lb in 7 weeks, so I'm more than happy, but I'm struggling to eat 1/3 Superfree with every meal. I'm eating superfrees between meals, but at actual meal time, I'm usual just eating frees, and I'm eating 70 syns over the week. Thing is - superfrees don't...

OMG Kristin... Thankyou... That article... wow... that's me they're talking about. I am signing up to that group as soon as I get home.

Aw Guys, I'm having a rubbish time of it. I'm battling with the urge to emotionally eat. I know it won't make me feel any better in the long run, and it's reverting back to type; I didn't get to this weight by eating sensibly or by dealing with things properly. Anyone got any advice for...

I've lost 13lbs in 5 weeks, and hoping for my stone this week, woo woo. I have stuck to it 100% - doing EE, cause the others look WELL technical. As everyone says, not really a quick fix - it's about changing bad habits forever. Fingers crossed for you - you can do it!

So I'm on day 4 of week 6 and I am ITCHING for something super horrendously calorific. I know if I went and got something naughty, I wouldn't actually eat it, but the thought is driving me a bit nuts today. I have all my SW treats around me, but nothing will hit the mark today. *sigh*

I wanna join too - I want 10lb from September. Sunday - Kissme.... 14lb - Total lost so far - lb Foodjunkie10.... 6lb - Total lost so far - lb saturday- tinkerbellsmum....6lb- total lost so far-lb jimjam87...7lb - total lost so far - lb Wednesday - Cobweb - 8lbs - Total lost so far - lb...

She's paying??? Do you think she'd pay for me ;)

So it's Thursday afternoon, and work is dragging, so thought I would doing something cheerful and ask if anyone has anything cool planned for the weekend? I am going to my first BBQ/party since I started SW on Saturday, and am a bit nervous. I want to be able to drink, but I know once I have a...

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! thanks ladies!! :D Who knew a sticker could be SOOO exciting??

Hey Michelyn Great start, and good work finding Minimins - everyone on here is really supportive and helpful. I would be lost without these people! I've been doing SW for 4 weeks and have lost 11lbs so far, and I have a lot more to go before I hit target, but feel -finally- it really is...

Only gone and lost 11lbs in 4 weeks. I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy! :D

I wish I could put you ladies in my pocket, carry you round and have you encourage me when I think I'm getting it wrong. thanks for the support and advice!!:D

Sorry guys - didn't want to sound like a greedy, ungrateful misery guts - eeeek, and yeah, It's taken me at least a year to get this unhappy, so in reality, it is coming off quite quickly. Ellebear - I think I might be overcarbing... eek, they're just soooo tasty! :( I can give you guys...

4th week of Extra Easy.... hmmm.... Stats so far 1st week - 7lbs 2nd week - 2.5lbs 3rd week - STS 4th week - 1lb From reading the threads on here, I just don't think I'm getting it right at all.. :cry: I think perhaps I'm taking the "Eat as much free food as you want" too literally...

That's epic LL - you go girl! Total inspiration to us all - we salute you! :D

100lb loss is epic! You're a legend! I'm on week 3 and you've really helped to inspire me! Thankyou for posting this!! :D

LL - 11lbs is amaaaaaaaazing! Who cares if it was just water; I would be elated to lose 11lbs in a week! Good job! Interesting that exercising affects the weight loss - I've always said that exercising is bad for you ;). I think you have to look at it in the long term, and as you guys say...

What is the largest weight loss anyone has managed in one week... and what did you do differently (do you think) that made you pull that number? Sadly - no prizes on offer :p SW is all new to me, so I'm asking all my daft questions on here.... hope nobody minds :o

Hi All, On SW week 3 doing the extra easy, and I've maintained... *sigh* :( I'm not sure where I went wrong, but would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. Had a great first two weeks, being wk1 -7lbs wk - 2.5lbs but have done exactly the same things, and now plateaued. All my SW...

and I've hit my first plateau *sigh* :( I'm not sure where I went wrong this week, as I had followed it the same as the other weeks. Loss so far has been wk1 -7lbs wk2 - 2.5lbs wk3 maintained Now, don't get me wrong, SERIOUSLY chuffed at the first two weeks loss, but wonder if I should...
