That really makes sense thanks for that, what sort of superfoods could i have? Sorry the whole super foods thing confuses me thank you x

I had a really nice NSV today, a lady who used to take her children to the same pre school as my daughter told me how great i looked and that she didn't even recognize me and asked how i done it. I felt so proud iv never spoken to her before so for her to come over and say that was really nice...

Im following the green days as a veggie, was thinking maybe i need a change to start losing again? The slimming world consultant did say something about fast forward but iv no idea what it is! The only things i can think of is that iv not had as much chili,coke as i usually do but surely that...

:wave_cry: Hello i seem to have come to a bit of a stand still with the weightloss, iv stayed the same for the past two weeks :cry::cry: and would really like a lose next time. Has anybody got any tips or advice? Thanks xx

wow it really helps seeing it. Also reminds me that a 1lb of fat is quite a lot too!

Iv been away a week and probably havent had enough, but im starting again tomo xx

Today for the first time in 4 years i have brought some size 14 trousers!! Also my top half is now a size 12!!! I am so happy. Also iv had more compliments on my weight loss makes me feel really proud of myself. x

Iv been away a week on holiday and was a bit naughty so was worried when i got back. I havent had a weigh in yet but im not in size 14 trousers and size 12 tops!!! I so pleased just cant believe it this time 5 months ago i was a size 20! Feeling so pleased love my new shape. Am looking forward...

Im just going to see how i feel my own target is 9stn 5lbs but if i went by BMI it would be just over 8sn something and i just think that would be to small for me. Just going to see how it goes and stop when i feel happy. im 11 stn 9lbs atm and a size 14, i want to be at least 10stn by xmas and...

Fab answer i totally agree xx

Thank you all so much ladies reading your posts has really helped me and thanks so much for all the support. I think if i see her again next week i will just ignore her and hopefully she wont say anything to me xxx

I dont feel down because the weight as i lost 2.5 this week but i was so sure i was going to gain even posted on here about it as i was ill and had no eaten the right things. Anyway i was chatting to my friend at the weigh in cue and was telling her about my bad week. I was really pleased that...

Iv never gained before but this week it is going to happen as 3 days until weigh in and dont think i can bounce back. Iv been so ill and eaten things that i can grab like crisps, choc even takeaway and today i had CHEESECAKE!!!! Now i am absolutely dreading weigh in now :( I dont suppose under...

Its really weird but i tend to lose more when im on my period. I always feel really slim when im on my period, its like when i get pregnant i lose weight in the first couple of weeks. Strange or what!

Sorry your feeling low you've done so well you should be proud. If you can get away with losing more with a healthy BMI then you could always lose a couple of lbs. Maybe your just having a anti climax and now feel like you've nothing to look forward too? Your pics look lovely btw Big hugs xxx

Well iv been ill the past couple of days and haven't eaten very well and what i have been eating has been junk as i can just grab it and eat it fast. Sound i just continue as normal or should i not have anymore syns this week to make up for it?? I'm so annoyed with myself :cry:

That's really good i so wish i could change group my group is terrible the consultant is REALLY terrible and the group has gone from 52 people down to 16 people as she is so bad. Good luck with the weight loss xx

I love reading these! Makes me realise how great slimming world is, i love hearing compliments about my weight i lost another 2lbs today and my friend who i saw 2 weeks ago told me how nice i look now and iv only lost 3lbs since i last saw her lol Iv never been big just a size 12 until i had...

Honestly the more you eat the more you lose, use your syns i lose more when i use all syns and are you drinking enough? xx

Hi ladies i done it had 2 litres helped that i had a sore throat and needing to keep drinking to make it better xx

Thats what i do some days i love saving my syns for the evening if something is on TV or if i just was to relax for the evening with the laptop.

I lost 25.5lbs in 9 weeks but it doe depend on the person and how heavy you are to start with, if your on the smaller size you might lose less. Good luck with the weight loss.

I have another to add i know it probably doesnt sound much but i cant believe a few more lbs to lose then i will be 10stn!!!!!! Once i get to 10stn ill really be excited as ill only have another stone to lose before ill hit my target of 9 stone. Very exciting!!

Mine are a kellogg's fibre plus bar or alpen light choc and fudge as my hexb and a hot chocolate milk form my hexa an a couple of syns for the light hot choc. I also like dipping strawberries in Active fat free yogs. What are your fav snacks?? God i love slimming world :bananalove:

Iv had just over a litre today will try 2 litre 2mo x

Thats good news well done my losses slowed down when i started swimming i think its because you are building muscles which is good it will also help you tone you too. Also maybe measure your waist every few weeks and you may notice a big different in the inches on the waist but not so much on...

Its probably just the change in diet give i a while. Good luck xx

Im in i need to drink more water again, i used to but stopped. Hopefully it will make my skin nicer than it has been recently. x

Im not keen on the whole image therapy either we dont share recipes or anything she just shows us a different low syn snack each week. i do just go and be weighed most of the time and it really keeps me going i love the weigh in lady and if someone else is weighing me then i wont go off track.

I agree with you there we have a couple of members like that too and they seem to wonder hwy they put on weight. Tbh it is a very busy group as its full of senior members of the society and it best for them going to an morning one rather then them having to go out at night. Its not just me...

Hi iv only just joined this forum and im already addicted to it! So much support and tons of info. Good luck with the weightloss xx

There are not very many target members at my group, i will be staying though.

You can only have one fibre plus bar they are so yummy though!

I drink Diet coke too, the co-ops own brand one is only 59p and i think it taste much nicer then the brand stuff. Some own brand ones are a bit gross though. Cant even remember what normal coke tastes like!

It doesnt go by income just your weight, im really glad iv been able to get some and going back to the nurse every 6 and 12 week keeps me on track. Its a shame that some people dont complete them though.

Iv had so many friend comment on how i just seem to be shrinking and they can see how much iv lost makes me so happy especially when my mum says how well iv done she really keeps me going. Also buying a size 12 top the other day and my size 16 trousers getting baggy! There was a time when i...

To get vouchers from the GP you have to have a certain BMI i think its 30 but not 100% and cant already be at a slimming group. I was 14sn 7lbs when i started. You do it with you Practise nurse going back at 6 weeks and 12. They take waist measurements ans weigh you and keep it on the system. Im...

I do use ALL my syns up and have all my Hex A and B too and still some weeks i only lose 0.5 or 1lb. Its not worth depriving yourself though might as well use them or save them for a meal out. x

I know its supposed to be good and i drink allot or water but doesn't seem to help with me.

Your not doing anything wrong some weeks you may just lose less. Im always bummed when i only lose a 1lb though even though i know its still good. You had a lose and its better then a gain so you have done well. Just make sure you are eating enough though.

Oh bummer! I just read the small print and it said the same thing i should have read it before really. Im not sure my consultant knows im on vouchers but its all on the system. Will see if i can get round it. x

Sorry another question but was wondering weather i will lose two vouchers for the two weeks I'm on holiday. I go away in two weeks and am telling my consultant Thursday is that to short notice? will i lose my tow vouchers or will i be able to start where i left so i don't lose two weeks? Does...

Also a couple of days before WI i notice my weight loss more x

Dont worry your losses may slow down when you start exercising mine did when i started swimming i cant remember why i was told though. i spend a good 4 hours swimming a week and am good but still lose about a 1lb some weeks. But im still doing it as it will help tone up. You will start to lose...

I eat quite a bit there are quite a lot of free foods and low syn value foods. Using you hxetras too you can have quite a bit. If your unsure look at the recipes on here or buy a recipe book from your group. Iv got quite a few of the books now including the branded free food book. You have only...

wow thanks for that didnt know i could have the mini riveta as a hexb thank you xx

Hugs lady try not to panic you dont know how accurate those scales are and are probably different to the slimming world ones. I once made a mistake of weighing myself before weigh in on my mums scales and it said id gained 5lbs! I was really dreading weigh in BUT id actually LOST 3.5LBS. Good...

Does anyone know the syn value of these and what flavour please i love snacking on both. x

Chin up love, id be upset but i think he meant it in a good humor way and probably thought you would find it funny. Don't let it bother you, just carry on doing what your doing with the weight loss. Big hugs xx

I love choc i have alpen light bars as my healthy exB and they do chocolate and fudge and chocolate and orange ones they are so yummy and you can have two! That way i still get a bit of choc.

Maybe i am expecting to much but i know im not the only one who thinks the same theres quite a few of us, but she runs all the groups in the area so i know shes rushed off her feet but would be nice for her to congratulate someone every now and again. She usually makes it late by losing things...

Just wondering how others groups are run really. My consultant is not very good at all, but i cant change groups as hers is the only one near me. The consultant never really talks to me and when she does its like she doesnt even care. Shes always faffing about and losing things so classes are...

Remember not all scales are the same the ones at slimming world are more accurate, dont worry to much you may still have lost. You could try eating super speed foods today but im not sure if it will have a big effect by tomorrow. Try not to worry to much if you have sts then theres always next...

Its really odd but i actaully lose more when i have 15 syns a day! Strange or what! the weeks where iv had no syns i have only been down 1/2 of sts. I think its noce to be able to eat something nice i eat maltesers and use them for sauce on my dinners. x

Good luck im sure if you stick to it you'll do fab xx

Just found a thing on the website. Im going to try the kelloggs ones never had one before. I too like having alpen lights because you can have too, i do the same one at lunch for a snack and then one while im watching the soaps. Thanks you xx

Yes i do have the website im having a look now but cant seem to find what im looking for on there.

wow you look gorgeous well done you! Cant wait until im at target like you, you sound so happy. Well done x

Just wondering i usually have 2 alpen light bars and I'm not keen on the hi fi bars even though they do seem to be filling. What criteria does a cereal bar have to meet to be a healthy extra and what ones are counted as healthy extras? thanks x

I shop at sainsbury's and its down the same isle as the cottage cheese in a similar type tub. Its yucky though even when i mix it with things i don't like it, which is a shame as its in so many different recipes.

On a green day xx

I brought some rice yesterday but iv no idea of what i can cook with it any ideas please.

I have a day off once a week weigh in day i eat what the hell i want and it works for me i still lose each week maybe not as much as i could but its nice just to have one day where i dont have to worry about food.

I know how you feel i was the same before slimming world, the great think about it is your family CAN eat the same meals as you, there are lots of recipes on here and books available. I brought a green days cook book and has lots of healthy low syn and syn free meal ideas. My kids have the same...

Its so strange that lots of other people had this too, iv been weeing like a trooper too!

Thanks had a weigh in today and again lost 1lb. I think I'm going to take the advice from you guys and see if a bit of a shake up works. I know 1lb is still a loss but iv got my holiday in 3 weeks and i just want to feel a bit more comfy. Thank you xx

Hi im new to this forum iv not posted before but iv been reading the threads for a couple of weeks now. Im doing slimming world and so far have lost 2 1/2 stone my start weight was 14stn 7lbs :eek: . Recently iv only been losing a pound a week. Is it normal to slow down? Iv tried ss but dint...
