Hi I know that with Slimming World you can set your own target and this doesn't have to be a certain BMI. I had set my Target as the very top end of a healthy BMI (25) which I am still 1 stone away from but have been considering changing this. My thinking for this is that I'm not sure I want...

I had a weigh in a bit like yours a couple of weeks ago. Been making huge effort with food and exercise but ended up putting on 1/2 lb. Found really frustrated. The good news is that somehow I managed to keep going the following week and had a good loss of 2lb. This is the best loss I've had for...

Hi, I ended up cancelling it cause I was feeling better. Still having some emotional times but managing to drag myself through it. The hardest is still keeping going with the shared hobby we had, caving.

This sounds good. I need a kick start to losing again so going to give this a go for a week. Sue

I tend to buy a countdown, usually 6 weekly, as this is slightly cheaper. You get 6 weeks for the price of 5 so it's not £5 per week. I've often gone to other groups in my area when the usual time has not fitted into my schedule. Sue

Hi I have just stumbled accross this thread, I know it is a bit old. I'm currently going through the stuggle of trying to work out whether to take anti-d's. My husband left me in December and I started off being strong but the depression has taken over and now I find everyday a struggle. I just...

I've been visiting a friend for the weekend and not been writing down or measuring what I've been eating. I am going to start again in the morning and hope that I've not done too much damage over the past couple of days.

I have managed to have a good day and am feeling really good about it. Here is my food diary for the day; Breakfast- Fruit & Fibre with milk and a pear (HEB & HEA) Lunch- Homemade slimming world quiche with cous cous base and filled with bacon, celery, leeks, tomatoes Dinner- Rump steak with...

Thanks for the replies. I have just started a food diary and hope that the thought of sharing what I'm eating will stop me from losing control. I really enjoyed the new recipes I tried out this week and was really disappointed when I stepped on the scale. Anyway, new day tomorrow. Going to prep...

Hi I am starting this food diary as I am trying to get some focus back into my life. I have been following the slimming world plan since August 2010 but since December 2011 things have not been going so well. My husband told me he wanted to separate, which took me completely by surprise. At...

This is one of the reasons I am also thinking about giving up on the diet completely. I just can't keep to it and am fed up with going and either gaining or only losing a very small amount. I live alone and it takes a lot of my time to cook slimming world friendly meals.

Hi I have been following slimming world since August 2010 and so far lost about 3 stone. I have been having a difficult 6 months and am considering giving up slimming world for a while to remove the pressure and sort out my life before losing the last stone that I have to reach my target but...

Hi My c has recently been talking about portion sizes. Are you still eating the same amount as when you started? If you have already lost quite a bit it could be that you don't need as much food to fuel your body because there is less weight being carried. Try to make sure you are not eating...

I really like this.

I brought a new dress for works Xmas party. It was above knew length, not worn one that short for very long time and was a size 12! I started size 18. I feel size 12 is normal but my weight still tells me I'm overweight. 12lbs then in the normal range.

Check out my post a week or so ago on focusing when world turned upside down. I got lots of advice from others that have been there.

I'm going through a difficult time at home too. I have the opposite at the moment in that I'm not eating much at all. I am making a huge effort to eat and to eat fairly healthily. I haven't been recording what I've been eating and not been on plan 100% but I am managing to lose a small amount...

I've been doing Sw for just over a year and not bought them. Bought many recipe books but I always look up the syns online.

It took me quite a while to start feeling different. Like someone said buy some new clothes. I brought a pair of skinny tight fitting jeans, this shows off the weight loss. I know how you feel, I met up with a group of friends in the summer and they didn't notice. Seeing them again at Xmas...

My problem is that I feel a lot of those things now. I've gone from size 18 to 12, just brought and worn Xmas party dress in a 12. I'm feeling fitter but according to bmi charts I still 16lbs from top range of healthy. I was losing weight cause I didn't want to buy size 20 trousers but then the...

Recent events in my life have meant that I'm needing to rethink my reason for losing weight. I had started for myself, cause I didn't want to buy size 20 trousers but the reason for getting to target changed when i started losing. Those reasons aren't relevant anymore and wondered what your...

Hi My husband has just left me and I am struggling with wondering what is the point of carrying on losing weight. He was supporting me alot with helping with the cooking and now I've got to do everything I don't know if I'll have the time. Should I leave slimming world until I can sort my life...

Hi and welcome. My tip would be to have lots of free and superfree food in the house and to think about what you are going to eat when the feeling of being full passes. If you wait until you're really hungry you may make the wrong choices. It is surprising how much you need to eat to be able to...

I did a couple of green days a few weeks ago and really struggled getting in my hexa. Ended up having a milkshake just before bed. Don't like plain milk and don't drink tea/ coffee.

We use ours for cinema vouchers. Haven't 'paid' to go to the cinema in months!

Hi I did a couple of green days a week ago, normally EE girl. I also had lots of superfree in the same week so not sure what it was but I had a 4.5 lb loss. I normally lose 1.5 to 2 lb a week and have been on the plan over a year. Sue

Sweetener, would rather Syn sugar than add sweetener. And cakes, have to avoid otherwise my Syn count goes out of the window!

The only point to note if you weigh in at different groups is you can only get your countdown at the group you are registered with and you need to make sure you book holiday before buying it otherwise you will lose those weeks.

I've lost 2lb's this week. :jelous: AgingRockChick (7.5lbs lost ~ 2.5lbs to go) Annya 5lbs (2.2lbs lost ~ 2.8lbs to go) Ayo Ayu 9lbs (5.5lbs lost ~ 3.5lbs to go) BikerAngel 5lbs (0lbs lost ~ 5lbs to go) Bilsat 14lbs (3lbs lost ~ 11lbs to go) Bobsledwheels (2lbs lost ~ 4lbs to go) Catmonkey...

Hi There was a free book offer around Christmas last year, but I missed out cause I had already brought a cd. I started getting 6 weeks cd, it is the same saving as a 12 but if there is an offer you have more chance of not missing it. Also check with your C if there are any up n coming offers...

Hi I got the new mag in group last night. I think it takes a bit longer to come out in the shops.

I stayed the same this week, at least it wasn't a gain.

I use menu planner for planning meals and keeping track of what I'm eating. It takes a while to add all your favourite foods but I have even added Syn values as a note when adding the food. I also use daily tracker to keep track of my syns. I have even started to use this more recently to track...

I can understand if consultants aren't quite at target but I think they should be near. It is nice to know your consultant has been or is trying to lose weight too but if they are very large and you don't see any change it can be demotivating.

I'm not sure I need the slimming world app now. Found a couple of really good apps that I'm using to track what I'm eating and my syns. Ive spent so long making these apps work for me, I'm not sure I'll want to change.

I have looked online and you can split the healthy extras that are in two parts. Eg you can have the cereal in the morning and the scan bran for lunch. I haven't found anywhere about only having 2 halves of a portion eg, 1/2 of 28g cheese and then 1/2 a portion of milk.

Hi I think Kelly-1984 update has been missed off in a cross posting. It looks like I added my loss while the list was being updated and I didn't notice that it needed updating. Sorry, this is the first time I've joined in a challenge. I'll be more careful next time. Please can someone update as...

2lb off tonight, I have updated my details. Annya 5lbs (0lbs lost ~ 5lbs to go) Ayo Ayu 9lbs (0lbs lost ~ 9lbs to go) BikerAngel 5lbs (0lbs lost ~ 5lbs to go) Bilsat 14lbs (0lbs lost ~ 14lbs to go) Bobsledwheels (2lbs lost ~ 4lbs to go) Catmonkey 8lbs (2lbs lost ~ 6lbs to go) Chelsea 14 lbs...

Someone mentioned this in group a while ago and our c said that this isn't following the plan 100%. the reason being was due to the fact that different types of HE are not the same, eg milk is very different to cheese. Or something like that, can't remember the exact details of why it was just...

Boots shapers bacon bites. 5 syns a bag. Really satisfied my crisp desire earlier today.

Hi I'd like to lose 8lbs this month. I keep on meaning to send this from my computer but keep forgetting. Please can someone add me to the list. Thanks Sue

Hi I'm wasn't much of a veg fan. The veg I do really like is not superfree, peas & broadbeans. But since I've started SW, nearly a year ago, I've been trying new foods. I stared off with them cut up small in things but the more I do this the more I'm starting to like veg that I would not of...

Hi, I've been to a group recently that had the lolly moulds and diet lemonade and squash as a raffle prize. I was keen on making lolly's and would like ideas as to what to put in them. Does anyone put mullerlight in lolly moulds?

I'm struggling with all the fruit and veg on EE. I find that sometimes the cheaper brands can be a much poorer quality with regards to fresh produce and doesn't last as long. I'm very fussy when it comes to fruit and veg, more fruit. I don't like it if it's too old, bruised or battered. I...

How many syns are they?

I put on a pair of jeans yesterday that were in the bottom of the drawer cause I thought they didn't fit, they fitted very well. I could even take them off without undoing them! They were slightly stretching jeans but even so this I'm still very impressed, if I do say so myself.

I often find I'm on the wii body test about three times a week. Some weeks I lose mid week but put it all back on over weekend. I weigh in at sw on a Monday.

I have been away this weekend and tried to make the best choices I could while eating out. I must of done ok cause I stayed the same at weigh in this week. I was hoping to get back on plan on Monday but haven't had time to plan and cook in advance yet. Monday I had planned to buy a mug shot...

I sts this week which is good considering I was drinking at the weekend and have been eating out Friday and Saturday and a Chinese on Sunday. Back on track this week when I get time to plan the meals.

Congratulations, I can't remember where I read it, I think it was another post on here but I have read that someone has lost weight while pregnant. You could try looking at the pregnancy posts to help you still lose. Good luck.

One member at our group the other week said as long as they were made with water and not milk they are heB. I've not checked it but it didn't taste the same made with water.

Re: Sugars & Sweeteners? I've been baking this weekend with splenda for the first time and know what you mean by the taste. The cakes looked like cakes but the taste wasn't really there due to the lack of sugar. I'm undecided whether to give up or give it another go hoping I'll get used to...

Hi I've been on sw for a while, and registered on this site a while ago but haven't followed it until this week. I've lost 1 lb this week, 11lbs since starting sw.

Re: **New!** Wii Fit Challenge - November Hi I'm new to this site, just downloaded the iPhone app too. Makes it so much easier to join in. Can you put me down for 5 hours. I've not exercised on the wii fit for a while, use it for weighing alot of the time.

Day 2 Breakfast- muesil, milk (1/2 heA), banana Lunch- homemade broccoli, bacon quiche with carrot sticks, satsuma, Tea, jacket potato, chicken in leek and tomato sauce. Snack- apple, lemon cake I have planned meals this week, although tea tonight wasn't quite as expected. The chicken was...

Hi I've been going to slimming world group since late august, started off really well and lost lots of weight early on but the past couple of weeks it is not so easy. I am easily tempted by chocolate and cakes and the colder weather and dark nights just makes the comfort food even more tempting...
