That's my latest pic. This has taken me since the end of 2010...I do not lose weight fast :( but I guess it's more of a lifestyle change. Still a stone to go and this is defo the worst bit! Thanks for all the lovely comments :) xx

Curves cost me £34 a month. I like it as its so friendly and women of all shapes and sizes. And it's quick, I don't have hours to spend in the gym :) xx

Ha never heard the Jennifer Anniston thing before but that's very flattering so thank you!! Glad to hear calorie counting has worked so well for some ppl, fingers crossed I do as well as you!!!xx

Thanks Hun how are you doing?xx

Well I fitted into a size 12 bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding. I'm still not happy tho, I will be 9 and a half stone somehow!!!

I lost 4 and a half stone on slimming world. Changed my life. I lost a few more lbs calorie counting after I plateaued for ages. So now I'm just using my fitness pal to stick to 1300 cals a day and going to the gym (curves) 3 or 4 times a week as I desperately want to tone it more than lose...

Slow and steady....nearly 2 years!!!xx

Lost nearly 5 stone....gone from a 18/20 to a 12/14. 1 stone left to lose....was stuck with slimming world so left to do calorie counting. Utter disaster....always hungry...using my calories to eat junk....thankfully I didn't gain but I felt rubbish. Back on what I KNOW works. I cannot go...

Awww thank you all. Yes I really am 5ft 4....legs have never been a big problem....it's the middle section that is!!! Well tummy, back and upper arms....grrr lol xx

Yes I did use my syns, I found I didn't lose if i didn't :) swimsuit is from next. New before and after photo as we found a awful before pic!!

Thanks everyone :) yeah started at the end of 2010 and never gained but many weeks would go when I would STS. Weight does not leave me easily!!!! Xx

Latest before and after, want to lose another stone still. This is so hard !!! X

Thank you :) No i wont, i love food too much, i find sticking to 1200 hard enough haha. Using my fitness pal appt to try and keep me on track :) xx

Thank you :) xxx

Slimming world has helped me lose a huge amount of weight and for that I'm extremely grateful. Sadly I've plataued the past few months despite switching plans etc so I've switched onto good old fashioned calorie counting to help me lose the last stone. Currently sitting at 10 stone 2lbs and hope...

I've got away with it pretty lightly except on my tummy but for that I blame pregnancy!!!!!xxx

Thank you :) no no totally different friend :) xx

Oh and the top is river island for the lady who asked :) x

Thank you annabelle :) I wish you lots of luck on your journey, you will do fab!!! :) xx

Aww thank you hunni :) I do feel so much better about myself but I'm still not happy!! Working really hard to mix things up and started doing a Zumba class (on the wii) and half an hour cardio boxing a day on the wii to try and get this last 11lbs moving! It's stubborn that's for sure!!!!xxx

Thank you everyone :) good luck on your journeys!!!!xxxx

Thank you :) it's 4 and a half stone I've lost and this final stone is the hardest!!!! Xx

Thanks girls :) Well im still a size 12/14....i would ideally like to be a 10/12 but the scales just aint shifting!!!! So then i decided i would just tone up instead by doing the 30 day shred...but i fear it may kill me!!!!! xx

haha i bet it was worth it at the time tho?? Oh thank you :) Im disgusted at how i used to look...found that pic on a old bebo page! CRINGE! xx

Im so friggin jealous!!!!!!!! xx

awww thank you!!! Bummed out tho as i am seriously struggling to lose the last stone...scales do not want to budge! Found that picture today on a friends old bebo (yes bebo!!) page so made a new before and after to tell myself that even tho its hard now...ive come so far!I dont think i...

ohhh what have i missed?? what happened on here that made everyone want to leave? :( I remember circes...she gave really good advice! xx

You can never just "stop".....the minute you do that....thats when you gain. I think thats why slimming world works....its not a diet....its a lifestyle change. I still eat...i go out....i have nice food....its just now i cook healthier, make better choices, have learned that while a little of...

No one has ever told me to do this but could this be why im really struggling to lose this final stone?? I eat a lot of fruit (thats pretty much all i snack on) and i try and not have massive "free" meals and make sure i have my 1/3 super free with each meal but maybe im just eating too...

Nom Nom that sounds delish!!!! Well there is no such thing as a "little" blow out lol. Back on track the next day and its all good!!! :) xxx

Tomorrow night we are having an M&S meal. Roast chicken pie, mash, veg and sticky toffee pudding. I feel i deserve it haha xxx

I was so good all week and gained 1lb too :( Dont understand why! im trying to tell myself its coz im close to target. My body just LOVES being fat haha xx

Thank you :) i just actually posted a more recent one...just 2 mins ago just under this thread :) xx

Needed some inspiration as the last stone or so is coming off REALLY slowly :( So my before "FAT" pictures.... And my after photos....with about a stone to go. xx xxxx

Thank you :) xx

Now I am no stranger to Slimming world, its been hugely successful to me in me losing just over 4 stone etc. BUT.... Just before Xmas i reached 10 stone 3lbs (i would like to be between 9 stone and 9 stone 7lbs). I had a wee blow out between xmas and new year and when i weighed in i was 10...

Thank you everyone :) I've been doing it just over a year...slow but steady!! Fat loves me...it doesn't want to leave me lol xx

Thank you everyone :):) xx

Well I put on a couple of lbs over Xmas and new year as I expected (it was worth it!!) so just trying to work That off and get into the 9 stone bracket!! I will do it!! Please lol zx

Aww thanks lol...dont ask me how I have such good legs...I have no idea! Wish the arms were as toned lol!!xx

Well since the bug buggered off I've been struggling to maintain the weight loss that happened so quickly when i was ill. I am still 10 stone 4 and I've been 100% but I was expecting it as it happened so fast. At least I've maintained :) been very good today....currently munching my way through...

Ohhhh kettle chips. Heaven in a bag!!xx

Thank you :) xx

haha aww thanks shrimpy! They are my fave part! And i have no idea how they are so toned, i dont do anything special! Wish my arms would follow their example...the ******* lol! xx

I stood on the wii fit...and my BMI was in the "healthy" range! WOO HOO!!! The excitement...i never thought i would see the day lol. I would still like to get my BMI down to around a comfortable 23 but still...at least its not telling me im overweight anymore! (and when i started it was...

When i first started this (at 205lbs) i was a size 18 (some were tight!) with a 38FF bra size (but i hadnt been measured in years). Now after losing 61lbs im a size 12/14 (still got the mummy tummy!) with a 32G bra size xxx

Congratulations!! I was so excited when i finally became 10 stone 13lbs...i dont know how long its been since i saw that on the scales! Now im 10 stone 4lbs so im hoping i get the same excitement with the 9 stones if they ever appear! Keep going, your doing great! xxx

10 stone 4lbs today! Thank you tummy bug haha xx

well i THINK the bug is starting to leave, stood on the wii today and im now 10 stone 4lbs...and my BMI is JUST in the healthy zone!! Woo hoo!!! So apparently i have 4lbs to go before im at my target weight...which is 10 stone, but i still think i would rather be 9 and a half stone. That...

Well I've picked up some weird tummy bug and I'm down to 10 stone 5lbs. However I feel rubbish!!!xx

I have cravings for naughty things....no no no!!! Haven't given in....I won't give in!!!!xx

Well this one says less than 12% fat. Ive just had the one portion and I still had 4 syns left today so hopefully it won't do much damage!!!xx

really?? Ooh that would be good, i was told i had to syn the lean mince!! Im doing EE xx

Just made SW lasagne...then looked at the mince packaging and its Lean mince ive got....not extra lean. (thanks a lot asda home delivery!!!). How many syns roughly per portion?? Ive already had 6 syns today so im so tempted to not have the lasagne but what a waste of food that would be! xxx

That's how I gained a lot of my weight, pregnancy. That and my love of White wine, kettlechips and boredom!! I do extra easy too...just lots of superfree, dont skip meals, use your syns!! Walking is fab too :) I love meals like SW curry, beef stroganoff etc xx

Aww thanks so much :) xx

Weighed in this morning...10 stone 9lbs which I'm happy with as I've had a few weeks of cinema trips, dinners out etc. So yeah, 1lb off :) least I'm now in single digits lol xx

Aww thank you :) my legs are the one part I like haha xx

Aww thanks everyone :) appreciate all the lovely comments xx

had a rare night out on sat with my friends...we had SO much fun lol. I felt amazing in my little lace top and black shorts...and got lots of attention too ha. Was nice not to feel "Mumsy" for a change!! Christ knows what damage ive caused...pizza, mcdonalds, cocktails but hey, its just one...

Ive been doing EE for a year now and ive lost 55lbs on it and im basically a stone away from target. Yes the losses have slowed WAY down but thats what i expect when i get closer. I averaged 1-2lbs a week but i tried to think of it as it didnt go on overnight so i shouldnt expect the weight to...

So last night on facebook my stepmum (Who is in no way clued up on technology tho bless her she does try!!) finally worked out how to upload pictures. So ALL the pictures from the last few years were getting uploaded. Including this beauty from just over a year ago. I was nearly sick when i...

Awww thank you :) xx

You look incredible! Well done! xx

Finally back to the gym after almost 6 weeks! Stupid broken toe. Its healed now but at an odd angle lol. Got weighed today and im 10 stone 10lbs and my measurements were all the same except i had lost 2 and a half inches off my tummy. So its not all bad i guess! Wish all these autumn colds...

I might share it with my 3 year old lol! Our sat night treat!xx

ouch indeed! I will have to be very good and split it over 2 nights lol xx

Anyone got any idea how many syns? I wanted to calculate it from the amount of calories but there is no calorie amount on the pot anywhere!!! xxx

Aww thanks :) I really dont feel like i carried my weight well BUT i had no idea how overweight i was. I would put on a outfit and think "yeah you look a bit chubby but your fine" and then see pictures afterwards and be utterly disgusted at myself!! And i have/had big boobs (i was a 38GG but...

i will join the hungry club. Forgot everything to my shift this afternoon. Dont finish till 6, managed to find a mugshot in the cupboard. Have eaten that and am now slowly eating my way through a box of clementines. Its not really hitting the spot tho!!!!!!! xxx

i would of probably smacked him around the head with the pringles tube lol. Bless him for trying to help...even if he didnt do it in the most tactful way!!!! xxx

Thank you :) xxx

Awww thank you everyone, your all so lovely!!! I am v proud of myself....got my dads 60th birthday on sat and I'm hoping for once I can actually feel nice and not be hiding in the corner trying to avoid all the photos!!!!xxxx

Thank you everyone :) I have my dads 60th birthday party coming up on Saturday and I hope for the first time in years I can actually feel nice and not be hiding behind everyone else feeling fat and self conscious!!! Xx

I just do extra easy days...ive never done the green or red days as ive never felt the need too. Main thing to remember with extra easy is youve got to eat tons of fruit and veg to balance it all out!! Im a big fan of having things like steak and chips for dinner....which is why it works well...

Thank you everyone.....really appreciate all your nice comments :) I know this last stone (well almost a stone) is going to be the hardest to lose (my body appears to be desperatly clinging onto the fat!!) but i feel so much better than i have done in ages. Good luck on all your weight loss...

hello!!! :) :) Dont worry about not going to class...ive never gone to class and its never hindered my loss :) You just need to have will power! :) xxx

Awww thank you guys :) :) xxx

Thank you hunni :) Im really happy...just hoping i can keep it up! xx

This is my "BEFORE" photo at 5ft 4 and 14 stone 9lbs. This is my "AFTER" photo at 5ft 4 and 10 stone 12lbs. Still want to lose another 12lbs/a stone but feel better than i have done in years. Slimming world definatly works if you stick at it and im hopefully another stone and i wont...

This is my "BEFORE" photo at 5ft 4 and 14 stone 9lbs. And this is my "AFTER" photo at 5ft 4 and 10 stone 12lbs. Still want to lost another 12lbs (possibly a stone) LOVE SLIMMING WORLD! xxx :D

I was a size 18 (and getting tight!) at my heaviest of 14 stone 9lbs. Now im 10 stone 12lbs and a size 14. It took me AGES to start dropping clothes sizes. I started goign to CURVES the gym and losing inches (14.5 inches lost in 3 months) and that seems to be helping. Its a slow process! xx

I didnt have any breakfast (bad me..was in a rush!) so got to work at 1pm and went to markies and am eating a ham and egg salad (no dressing) with cucumber and a small baked potatoe with some cheese, and a melon and grape fruit pack. Love melon :D xx

I use a reward chart in this house for my daughter. If she gets 10 hearts on the chart she gets to pick a treat (like a magazine or a small toy). So if she does something like swears, tantrums etc..she loses one. It worked wonders for us! (thats also how we cracked potty training!) shes just...

Ive been on slimming world since the start of October last year and ive lost over 50lbs and im a stone away from target. Its the only diet thats ever worked for me and its not so much a diet...its a way of life. I can still eat things like steak and chips...its just how i cook them. I can...

Thanks hun...well i didnt go to the gym at all last week as my toe was in agony...its a bit better now. I can walk/drive and the toe is no longer black but my foot is still very bruised. Going to the gym tonight but going to avoid anything that would put pressure on my toes and i will stop if...

Thanks girls :) maybe not then...don't have money like that to spare!!xxx

Does anyone know how u go about it? I have a stone to go before I'm at target and everyone keeps telling me I should be one. But I've never joined a SW group...i just do the plan at home. I think that means I wouldn't be able to apply...but others say I'm wrong??xxx

I feel SO sluggish this week after not being able to go to the gym. Im praying this wont affect my losses, i may cry if i go back into the 11 stone region!!! My toe is gradually getting less swollen but it still hurts like hell and the gym WONT LET me go back until the start of next week for...

Thank you hun :) How are you doing?? Well on friday night...i broke my toe :( Went into the garden shed to put some boxes away and a metal shelf fell down and i pushed my daughter out the way and didnt get out of the way in time myself and it landed right on my toe (i had flip flops on)...

I'm 5ft 4. A total short arse haha xx

Thanks everyone :) Im bloody delighted....as i was putting on a pair of size 14 skinny jeans this morning and not only could i zip and fasten them...i could actually breathe in them too :D And yes i did a dance when i saw the result on the scales...and my 3 year old daughter joined in too...

After weeks of pretty much STS and losing and gaining the same 1lb sticking at around 11 stone 1lbs....i stood on the scales this morning as my AF was finally buggering off. 10 stone 13lbs!!!!!! :D :D :D :D I dont think i can remember the last time i was 10 stone anything!!! xxx

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Weighed this morning....10 stone 13lbs!! YES YES YES!!!! Im finally in the 10 stones! Its been SO long since ive been here. YES!!! xxx

Hmph when I weighed last week I STS!!! God sake. Period has arrived this week so will weigh in once it's over xx

Working really hard at the gym this week and have smashed all my existing results there and personal score. Trying out loads of new recipes too so really hoping for a loss on Saturday morning :) xxx

i never saw anything mentioned about it until i saw a teeny tiny bit mentioned in the new SW magazine and raced on here to check. Rubbish :( And yeah 1 syn is low...but i would rather it was free! i prefer spending my syns on choccie! :D x

Dammit im so upset! All the bags in my freezer either have a "best ever" or "new and improved" stamp on it. So they all have syns?? Jeezo how long has this been going on!! The hunt is on now for low syn sausages...think morrisons might be the winner! xx

Quorn sausages now have syns?!!!!!!!!! :cry::cry: Someone explain this...please! xx

Oops!! Very sinful weekend!!! Harry potter at the cinema...popcorn...ice cream...Mexican meal. Sat was healthy then today...jeezo!!! Buttered toast, galaxy ripple, 2 biscuits, pringles, pasta.....yikes!!!!! Xx

Couple of new pics. Well im over the curves disapointment really after it got explained to me that the body fat measurer is really inaccurate. if you have eaten directly before it...it wont work. I had eaten half an hour before leaving the house. And still...i lost weight and my clothes fit...

and has he tried slimming world? He made himself fat...its not the NHS problem to fix it! They have enough to pay for. We are blessed enough in this country to get free medical care without people abusing it xx

Still sulking over the curves result but whatever. Weigh in on friday...will see what it says. Im struggling this week but i have an asda delivery coming tonight so lots of yummy fresh food coming my way :) xx

One word: JEALOUS. Don't let them bring you down, you've done fantastic!!xx

Thank you everyone, I'm really touched! I've now lost 49lbs but lowered my target so I'm now nearly 11 stone and I want to be 10 stone :) xx

Thanks jamesrob :) SW curry is my favourite so that will cheer me up!! x

She didnt say a thing, the only reason i noticed was when i was walking home and reading the print out they gave me!! I had to correct her tho when she did my weight. She told me i had only lost 1lb and proceeded to start typing that into the computer and i was like "erm if im 11 stone 3lbs by...

am i the only one who HATES next sizing?? How can i fit into 12/14's in new look, 14's in river island, 14's in debenhams...and struggle to get on a pair of next size 16 jeans????? xx

So i go to curves to work out. And every month you get measured. So this morning i weighed myself. 11 stone 1lb. However we all put on a couple of 1lbs during the day...i know that. So i go to get measured. Im 11 stone 3lbs. Which is fine...a loss of 3lbs since last time. (tho i know...

Not happy. Went and got measured at Curves today. Now i was 11 stone 1lbs 9oz when i weighed this morning but clearly you put on weight through the day. So when i went to curves at 4.30, i was 11 stone 3lbs. Which is fine. So she did my measurements, everything stayed the same (from last...

Ive lost nearly 50lbs....and ive gone from a 18/20 to a 14 (a 16 in some jeans). It took AGES to drop a dress size....a lot slower than i expected! you will get there tho! xxxx

oh hurry up asda delivery...im running out of fresh fruit and i want to snack!!!!!!!!!! A proper skint week this week....so im having to survive on the basics!! xxxx

Sounds like your doing well hun, im sure that gain was just a blip and it will come off no problem :) xxx

Well thats weird.....Weighed myself this morning...and im 11 stone 2lbs. So i havent gained at all lol. Not complaining lol!!! Going to continue to be extra good this week in case it sneaks up on me lol. Some pics from my daughters birthday:

Party was excellent :) she got spoilt rotten!!! I did have a good munch of the buffet so I expect when I weigh on tomorrow it won't be good news!!! But hey, how often will my little girl turn 3?!! :) xxx

Awww thank you :) Thats really nice of you!!! Congratulations on your weight loss so far...i know what you mean about once you get closer to target it gets a LOT harder to lose the weight!! Mine is coming off much more slowly!! xxx :D

Been very good....going to keep being good in the hope that measurement day (friday) goes ok. Then a weekend off the diet...hope i dont gain too much!!! Its gorgeous weather here today...bout time scotland got some after england have been getting all the sun! PLEASE STAY UNTIL SATURDAY...

Well i was my friends little boys birthday party on sat and ate WAY too much buffet food. Buffets are EVIL! They just sit staring at you and before you know it youve eaten way more than you should of! Then she gave everyone huge slices of cake but i did leave the icing. So i came home and...

Still got the flippin cold! Evil. Its not as bad as it was tho thankfully. Been to the gym 3 times this week, i can tell my period is due next week tho as im SO hungry. I ate far too much on thursday night....all free food but i couldnt stop eating. Went back to normal yesterday so hoping i...

well i had a major stress midweek when i weighed myself and it said i had GAINED 1.5lbs. I was following the diet as usual but i was on cough medicine and i felt so rubbish and achy and bloated. Totally panicked. Weighed myself today tho and im 11 stone 3lbs, which is 1lb less than my...

Weighed myself this morning...11 stone 3lbs. So 1lb off my original weight....so that gain midweek apparently was nothing other than illness bloating! Phew!

Thank you :) and thank you for that lemsip recipe, defo going to try that!! I'm Slowly starting to improve, still feel achy and bunged up but slightly better. Hope the scales are kind on Monday!!!xx

Well i took your advice ladies and gave the gym a miss. By 3pm i was pratically dying at work...i was so ill. I couldnt breathe, my head was spinning and i lost my voice. Went and picked up my daughter at 6 and came straight home and havent moved from my little "nest" on the sofa (ie a...

Thanks girls :) Not going to weigh until monday morning again and hopefully this cold will of started to bugger off. Going to try to go to the gym tonight but i dunno if that will happen as i feel shocking!!!! How i wish i was a toddler....a dose of calpol and shes bright as a button....where...

I came down with a horrible cold on tuesday....courtesy of my 2 year old!!! Been taking beechams all in one (20mls every 4 hours) and just following the diet plan as normal, probably drinking more fluids than i normally would (mainly water or hot squash). Still went to the gym on wed night as...

Come down with another horrible cold...courtesy of my daughter who also has it. But managed to go to the gym tonight and beat my target so i feel pretty proud of myself for even going. Weigh in/measurement day in just over 2 weeks, goign to see if they will measure me BEFORE my daughters...

Yup! Ive lost 46lbs doing it on my own. Ive NEVER been to class, ive bought several books and i joined minimins and started a diary to record things on here. Ive generally lost most weeks, and ive also joined a gym. I have pretty good will power (probably because everytime i dropped a dress...

I do SW at home (always have done) and i joined curves about 5 weeks ago as the weight loss was stalling. In my first month of curves i lost 4lbs and 10.25 inches from my body which was 7.03% of my body fat. Well worth it i say!! You cant beat toning up :) xx

oh dont you just love river island?!! There stuff is BEAUTIFUL. New look also has amazing stuff in just now, roll on payday!!! :) xxx

Awww hope you guys are feeling better!! xxx

I will take some more photos when i reach 11 stone. Not long to go hopefully!! Then will take some more when im 10 stone and at target!!!! :) Was at a bbq yesterday and was a bit naughty, but i hadnt eaten all day so i dont think i gained. Weighed this morning and had lost a few ounces...

I had the same issue with grandparents and my daughter. Shes only 2 and a healthy weight but she has a sturdy build and i didnt want to start her life off on the wrong foot. She eats very healthy with me and only child sized portions, no treats (unless a special occasion). But the...

Went to the gym tonight and feel SO good for it!! They have put my name on the "stars of the summer" board with how much i lost in my first month...im the best one on the board haha. Bit embarrasing but also quite proud!!! All the trainers kept coming up to me and telling me how good i looked...

Thanks girls :) wasn't at the gym on Monday as I had a cracking headache so looking forward to going tomorrow!! Feel all Sluggish and yuck after drinking this weekend. Was v naughty...too scared to weigh myself now!!!xx

Yay more Scottish ppl on here!! I'm from Aberdeen :) congrats on your weigh loss so far!xx

Thats been a month so yeah i was delighted!!!! xxx

Congratulations Hun, sounds like ur doing great!!!xxx

10.25 inches lost!!!!!xx

Measurements day today! Keep your fingers crossed! xx

Hey im good thanks :) How are you? Got my weigh in and measurement day at Curves on friday....hoping for some results at least! Had 2 meals out this week so im not so sure about the weight loss. Plus AF has arrived!!!!!!!! Urgh. Burned 419 calories in one session at curves tho yesterday...

i would love it if this was true...im a G cup and while my back size has gone down from a 38 to a 34...im still a G!!! xx

Volvic touch of fruit...ive been drinking tons of it as i was told it was free....now ive been told it has syns!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( xx

oh we have one of them in aberdeen! A lot of my freinds joined in, such a good deal! Its about 30 miles away from me tho so i cant go...whilst curves is 200 yards from my front door lol.xxx

it says 3.5 calories per serving! So probably 1 syn for the whole bottle haha xx

Thanks girls :) Vix what gym did you join? Good that you got a good deal!! Shanny, i really hope it does get easier! I was quite shocked haha. But you really can feel it working and i see a difference already. Im quite looking forward to getting measured at the start of june haha xx

I just got my asda delivery...and somehow someone elses 5 bottles of slimline ginger ale were in my bags. Finders keepers :P BUT.....how many syns?? I would assume despite it being slimline it wont be free?? xx Thanks! x:D

oh my GOD. The gym tonight was HARD!! To join the smart programme you have to go around the circuit with an instructer and do 10 seconds on each machine and push yourself to the absolute limit. This gives your keycard your target...and u must match that target everytime you use the...

Oh my god i just read the bit about the parent shouting "Hide the gut fatty" at you and it made me so angry! What a disgusting way to behave anyway but especially in front of children! Me and my temper...i would of been straight across that playground lol. Good luck hun and you show em :) xx

Weighed myself this morning.....11 stone 6lbs. YES!!! somehow i managed to lose weight despite being very "snacky" over the weekend due to this bloody cold. Got the gym tonight and since ive been to over 6 sessions i get to join their "smart" programme where it pushes you more :) Im not...

Awww thank you hun!! :) And you should be proud too...your weight loss is amazing! :) xx

Sounds like your all sorted then! You do get some vets who are totally against keeping cats with FIV but you find thats mainly because they are concerned it will spread. Its lovely some ppl are willing to rehome them :) Enjoy your new pet!! xx

I work in a vets so i will tell you what i know. Cats with FIV can have a long and happy life. BUT you need to pay very close attention to their diet and wellbeing and will have to make sure you keep up to date with all vaccinations and regular health visits (as you would with any cat!). FIV...

Yeah he predicted the end of the world in 1994 and him and all his followers gathered awaiting "the end".....and nothing happened. Then he said he had "mis interpreted the bible" but he is 100% sure this time that its the end of the world. Earthquakes all over the world....soon as it hits 6pm...

im 11 stone 7lbs and im a size 14 top (even tho i have size G boobs!) and 14/16 on the bottom. and im 5ft 4. Which is why ive joined the gym in the hope i can tone it up and be less "wobbly" lol xx

Wow vix a size 14 top?! Thats amazing, well done you!!! :) :) If the weight loss completly stalls i will try green and red days but im going to stuck to EE just now. It fits in so much easier with me cooking meals for my daughter etc. But if needs must, i will switch!! Its the gym im...

i was worse than you luv, i was 14 stone 9lbs when i started slimming world! And im only 5ft 4 lol. I only do extra easy....might have to switch to red and green days tho as it really is slowing down now. What plan are you doing? xx

Dont pressure yourself too hard, slow and steady is the best way to go. Means your far less likely to snap and give in. It took a long time for the weight to go on so it will take a long time for the weight to go off :) Hmm my trigger was probably my daughter. I didnt want her growing up...

Long as you enjoyed yourself vix thats the main thing! We all deserve a treat now and then!! Hey Chocoholiccat :) Thanks! Erm i dont know how i stay motivated to be honest, sometimes its hard but i just refuse to pay each week to get weighed. As im losing weight/inches im selling all the...

Awww thanks hunni :) Curves is that womans only gym. Its got a 30 minute circuit of hydraulic machines and they recommend you do it 3 times a week. It takes a bit of getting used to...you go in and its just a big room and all the equiptment is in a circle and inbetween each machine is a mat...

Sounds great hunni!!! Enjoy!!xx

Weighed myself today....11 stone 8lbs. Woop. Will try and lose 1 more lb before sat...as i have a hen night and serious serious damage will be done haha. Never mind...this is only the 2nd hen night ive ever been on so i cant wait!!! Bring on the hangover mcdonalds cure the next day ha...

Weighed myself yesterday.....back to my usual weight of 11 stone 9lbs. So whatever i gained from the sat night is gone. Fresh start and all that jazz. Just watching the royal wedding...love it!! She looks so beautiful and its so well done. David just picked up ava (my daughter) to take her...

Sat night involved: Fahitas, sticky toffee pudding, endless large glasses of white wine and then endless glasses of vodka with full fat sugary red bull!!! The hangover on the sunday then lead to me eating a small easter egg (not a big one but one of those mini smartie ones) which actually...

Well done hun :) Your just a few lbs lighter than i was when i started and like you, i never thought i would manage as for some reason we do think the weight should just fall off when in fact it takes a lot of hard work. If only it was that difficult to GAIN lol!!! Good luck on your journey...

Haha we had a great time but i tell you...the hangover was NOT worth it! Im still suffering today..sitting here at work with a banging headache! I think me and wine are offically over haha xx

Fahitas....sticky toffee pudding...endless glasses of white wine and then vodka and red bull....plus an easter egg. Pretty safe to say the scales will HATE me this week!! :P Ahh its easter....we deserve a blow out! Tho i do feel i took it a bit far haha xx

If it makes you feel any better....i had a meal out on sat with the girls from work. Fahitas....sticky toffee pudding...countless large glasses of white wine followed by countless glasses of vodka with red bull. That should make you feel a wee bit better about the choccie weetabix!! :) Im...

Well...i think i can officially write this weekend off!! :( :( Meal out on sat with the work girls. I had fahitas...but only managed 2 of them. So not too bad. Then we had sticky toffee pudding...but i only ate half of it. So yeah..not too bad. Until you factor in the countless glasses of...

Awww thanks everyone :) I started in september last year, by xmas i had lost 2 stone (was quite a fast weight loss) then it slowed right down!!! xx

Thanks everyone :) I just hope i can get this remaining 23lbs off, ive definatly reached my first "wall"!!! Physically not mentally...mentally im doing everything right! xx

i get ppl trying to sabotage!!!! "oh come on..you deserve a night off...stop being so strict with yourself". emmm no sod off, i will choose when i have a night off, not you!!!!! xx

Well had my subway etc on sat night with my friend...was lovely!!! and had a slice of my daughters grandmas birthday cake. Weighed myself on the monday and had STS which was great. Changing my weigh in day to a sat morning. I have quite a few sat nights out coming up and its pointless...

I only just noticed as well that i was into the 3 stone loss area lol!!! :D Another stone and a half roughly to go (and boy is it coming off slowly now!!). So proud of myself...when i started this i would never of beleived i could even lose 1 stone...and now ive lost 3! And taken up zumba and...

When i started this diet i was a size 18 and wore a 38FF bra. Bearing in mind i hadnt been measured since BEFORE i fell pregnant...and my daughter is now 2!! So after i lost 2 stone i knew i wasnt comfy..i was spilling out of my bra but the back of it kept riding up. I got recommended to go...

Does anyone go? We just had some girls in from curves offering us a free promotion at work. 2 join for the price of 1 (the joining fee) then £34 a month after that. im struggling to lose the final stone and a half, and the vet at my work wants to lose weight too. So we are thinking of...

Well ive stuck to plan....having a subway tomorrow with my friend while watching BGT. I aim to stick within my syns tho!! Well i hope so anyway. Plenty of fruit afterwards!!! Not much to report really, havent done my zumba for a couple of days...just wasnt in the mood! Still waiting for my...

I use the NHS calculator which seems ok....i dont think i would go lower than 10 stone...i have 34G boobs that havent reduced at all since i started, so i dont think super skinny and big boobs works so well with me haha. and 7 stone etc considered healthy?! noooooooooo! well not on most ppl...

Awww hugo is gorgeous! Loving the cat up the chimmney story, thats hilarious!! Made me laugh!!!! xxx

I was just checking out the BMI calculator and to be within my healthy range i have to be 10 stone 5 lbs. So im gonna aim for 10 stone. That means i have a bit of give either side of that weight. I dont beleive the BMI chart for a second but it would be lovely to be in the healthy range! So...

welcome!! :) I do SW at home and i could never manage it without this website! Its the first place i come when im stuck!!! xxxx

Awww thanks Emsie and Lou :) Well the worst of the chicken pox is over, that was a horrible weekend! Shes still spotty but they are scabbing over and should hopefully be gone soon!! Back at work now too...felt like i had cabin fever haha. Well another 1lb weight loss this week. Stocked up...

Well i think i have cabin fever! My daughter has got chicken pox fairly badly, i went to work on wednesday, but by thursday her entire body was just covered in huge blisters and she had a temperature and felt rubbish. So i took the day off today, and she had another wave of spots...so shes...

No no you dont need the wii fit or balance board or motion plus or anything like that, just your normal wii and wii remote :) Its really good fun!!! The "classes" are hard with barely any breaks, so i often do the 5 minute work outs and just combine 4 of them..your sweating by the end!!! My...

Thanks helen :) If you have a wii i really recommend the new zumba game for it, a fab workout :) xx

Well i lost 1lb, thank god :) So im now 11 stone 10lbs :) Ive been doing 20 minutes on the wii most days....im gonna aim to do it 3 times a week and try and do my cardio workout twice a week too. I want to tone up as much as i want to lose weight. I guess cutting down portion sizes was my...

You poor thing :( From past experience, i wanted to rehome a cat. I lived in a flat with a garden so i phoned them and said i would prefer a cat who was mainly indoors but there was access to outside if they wanted (i was groundfloor). And that i wanted to give an older cat a home. Not a...

I think the motto with primark jeans is...the cheaper you go the more rubbish the sizing!!! And im a bargain queen at heart!!! I avoid primark jeans like the plague, im a big fan of dorothy perkins jeans :) xx

Well i felt really bloated and uncomfy yesterday and surprise surprise...hello AF. Urgh sod off. My zumba for the wii arrived yesterday so i threw myself around the living room doing their 20 minute workout...my god its hardwork but good fun! I was sweating within 10 minutes...it really...

Do you mean how wide is it? It would fit all sizes i would imagine, im a size 14 and it would probably fit around me twice lol, says it does all sizes from a 6 to a 30!! :D xxx Takes a bit of getting used to, having it sitting on your hips and it took me a good 10 minutes to work out that i...

Mine arrived today and ive just done a 20 minute workout on it! Well worth it in my opinion, i was dripping in sweat by the end of it (and i can normally do a half hour on the wii fit without even going out of breath). Its hard work, definatly worth learning the steps before hand but its lots...

I have the cardio one and the dance one. Didnt like the dance one at all, but LOVED the cardio one. They are a really good price just now!! Love my just dance 2 so i think zumba will be quite similar!! xx

Awww hun you poor thing :( And it doesnt sound daft. I work in a vets as a receptionist/vets assistant and i have to see people suffering pet loss every day. Whether its a pet whos lived with them 16 years, 1 month, or even just part of an extended family...and 99% of people just fall apart...

I really think this cutting portion sizes is going to work. Fingers crossed!! Today has been a bit snacky. Alpen light bar for breakfast, pasta and sauce (milk was my HE A) and an apple for lunch. Tea tonight will be chicken curry and rice with melon for pudding. Will see what i fancy for...

woop! my one is showing up the same, i will expect the email from them in the next couple of days to say its actually been dispatched! Excited, it looks amazing!!! :p xx

Amazon took my money for it today...does that mean its ACTUALLY getting dispatched this time around?! (since theyve put off its release date about 4 times already!!). Ohhh i hope its here by the end of the week!!!! I cant wait!!! Been dying to go to a zumba class but can never fit it around...

Wooo amazon charged me for my "zumba for the wii" today so hoping that means it will be here in a few days!! Cut down portion sizes and i sneakily weighed myself today and ive lost a few ounces so maybe that was my problem. Will see if it keeps up for monday!! No more weighing until monday...

After ANOTHER bloody STS this week im fuming! What am i doing wrong?! Grrr these final 20lbs are being a right pain in the bum!! Cutting down portion sizes this week and upping the exercise (i will be surprised if i can move tomorrow after doing an hour of "hardcore" cardio workout)...

Thanks! They are a blackcurrent flavour...i guess i could work it out as 1 syn per 20 calories but i just wanted to check to see if anyone knew for sure! :) xx;)

Loads of good advice there, thanks everyone! One that definatly rings true is portion sizes. I get sucked into the beleif that because ive made a free meal (like curry) i can eat 2nd helpings of it...which may not be the case. I was guilty of that a few times this week so maybe thats it...

Thanks everyone i will try all of those tips :) I do eat a lot of grapes as snacks..i do try and eat lots of apples but i will replace the grapes with berries and apples and see if that helps!!! I have a meal for my brothers birthday on sat night...maybe that will shake up the old metabolism...

I normally do extra easy and im reluctant to change that as it fits in so well with my family life and work. BUT if nothing else works i will try some red and green days!! I think i will try and cut my syns down to around 7 a day, see how i get on with that. thanks :) I dont have a food...

I need some help. For 3 weeks ive been losing and regaining the same pound varying between 11 stone 12 and 11 stone 11. Im baffled. Im 100% on plan, sticking to under 10 syns a day, drinking loads of water, loads of veg, trying new recipes and mixing it up a bit and exercising. I just seem to of...

You look gorgeous! Well done! Tho i also think you looked fab at a size 16 lol xx

Ive just altered my goal weight. Rather than 150lbs i want to be 145lbs. Only an extra 5lbs to lose which will take me into the "healthy" range for my height. That way if i gain a few pounds etc i wont freak out (onc i reach target). Ie i wont be so hard on myself! Come onnnn...20lbs to...

i dunno if it works but my arms KILL after doing just dance 2! I despise my fat arms so im really hoping it will tone them! Surely it must...with all that arm waving that goes on lol xx

Awww thank you, its been a long journey and i still have a long way to go!!! xx

Congratulations on your losses so far and good luck! We are roughly at the same weight (im 11 stone 11) and i want to be about 10 and a half too. Will keep checking back to see how your getting on :) xx

Well got up late today so had "brunch" of some beans, 2 quorn sausages and a egg. Dont really want lunch but know i have to eat so ive got an alpen light and 2 apples to eat to tide me over until dinner which is...my favourite...chicken curry! Nom Nom :) :) Will make that when i get home from...

ahhh i get that feeling all the time....when youve eaten a massive bowl of slimming world lasagna and feel so full you panic! I think weve associated feeling full with gaining weight. But your making yourself full with all the RIGHT food...which just stops you binging on the wrong stuff :)...

Haha well i got on the wii this morning for a workout and it made me do my body test. Those 2lbs have vanished from the alcohol. I went and weighed myself on my scales too just to check. So im back down to what i was before...see if i can lose 1lb before monday :) xx

What plan are you following hun? Extra Easy?? It looks good to me so far! Make sure you use up your syns tho and maybe have some fruit after dinner? I often have a big bowl of strawberries/raspberries/blueberries as my "pudding". made even nicer if you spend 2 syns on a merangue nest!! :)...

No that wont work..starving yourself all day is the complete opposite of SW and it wont make your body any less likely to absorb the booze calories!!! Your best shot is eat completely normally all week having around 5 syns a day (your allowed 10-15) then if you take the remaining 5 or 10 syns...

Awww feel better soon! Sickness is the worst!! I tend to lose weight when im sick..then pile it on once i start eating normally again!!!! xx

I just replied to your other post but im one who sadly fails at social occasions. Some are able to have a naughty meal and a few drinks and dont gain. I ALWAYS gain if i do that...even if ive been really good all week. THankfully it doesnt bother me too much, im a single mum and im in a lot...

oh and i find that saving my syns for a blowout at the weekend really doesnt work for me. I always gain if i do that. But it works for others...we are all different! But if you arent losing...that could be the problem! xx

I used to be the biggest party animal out there. THen i fell pregnant and obviously stopped drinking and going out. Then i had my daughter and fell into the awful routine of a glass of wine to "relax" at the end of the day. Cue why after 2 years i found myself at my heaviest weight of 14...

Mmmm melon..i love melon!! I too was gutted about sweetcorn...i love it!! I still have it with my meals (like tonight its lasagna and sweetcorn!) but then i just sit and munch a massive bowl of melon, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and raspberry ha xx

A mini punett of grapes! They were delicious too. To get me through the next 5 hours at work i have a banana and 2 apples. Boo hiss. But home tonight to my SW lasagna and veg!!! :) xx

Thanks hun :) :) Well ive stayed completly on plan, havent cheated once. Barely had any syns on sunday or monday, but then decided to start using my syns again yesterday (i very much enjoyed my curly wurly!!). Been doing the "tough" workout on just dance 2 every day (3 songs). Had a upset...

Thanks everyone :) I dont go to a group, i do it on my own and im very strict with myself lol. But if i have a night out, i dont weigh again until the following week. I am goign to try upping my fruit and veg this week and do more exercise, if stil nothing then i might try the red and...

Hey hun im the same as you...single mum....2 year old whos going through the horrible 2's!!!! Before slimming world i used to have a glass or two of wine most nights to try and chill out a bit. Ive cut that out now, but i had a night out on sat where wine was drank and its made me feel so...

After a couple of weeks of basically STS..losing 1lb...gaining 1lb...then STS again...and being utterly baffled as i had been so good....im fed up. :mad: I had a night out on sat night with some old friends which obviously involved a chinese and wine so clearly i know i will of gained (no WI...

Well i had my night out...it was fine and good fun but its just the next day i just think of all the calories and how i will definatly of gained. Rubbish : ( So no WI today, will weigh in next monday and see what they say. Will just try and be really really good and limit the damage. I feel...

Awww thank you very much :) You too!!! xxx Well been really good this week, sneakily weighed myself this morning and looks like im still the same. Sigh. Night out tomorrow so no doubt that will mean a gain...so no WI until a week on monday lol xxx

Mines is very accurate. I used it on laminate flooring, always in the same place. If you use it on a rug or carpet...it will never be accurate. You dont need to weight yourself to use it, just skip the body test and go straight to training! xx

Hiya :) Ive been doing slimming world since the September 2010 :) Still enjoying it!!! :) Ive got a size 12 dress but its stretchy...im still most definatly a size 14!!! I think i would probably cut myself in half if i tried to get on a pair of size 12 jeans lol!!! xx

Sounds like your doing great so far hun!! I too had a friend that acted very strangely when i started on slimming world and started losing weight. Like you said, i think its HER issue rather than mine!!! Its sad as ive lost nearly 40lbs now....and not once has she said "oh you look nice"...

I had a mcdonalds a couple of weeks back and was bitterly disapointed!!! Find myself missing my healthy versions of things! However my next flexi day...im going to have some fudge cake! I cant imagine i would ever be disapointed with that :P xx

I love this :) Ive "only" lost 1lb this week and i was pretty disheartened but after reading this i feel much better :) xx

im just going to have to work even harder at just dance 2 lol...try and dance the fat off lol!! xx

Well done! Im so jealous, i only lost 1lb!!!! Good on you!! :) xxx

Well 1lb off. Which is fine. Slow and steady and all that. I wont pretend i wasnt disapointed as i was...was really hoping i could get a 2lb loss this week but i guess the closer i get to target the harder it will become. xx

To be fair slimfast has probably changed in the 5 years since ive done it!! I just love my food too much lol. Its ace when you find a diet that works for you tho isnt it? I mean i did weight watchers for ages and was constantly starving...so then i heard about slimming world and didnt beleive...

Yeah lets hope it actually does come out!! Ive had it pre ordered for months, was SO disapointed when the day before it was due to be dispatched amazon emailed me to say that yet again the date had been put back and it was now april!!!! xx

I love dorothy perkins for jeans. I got some ace high waisted ones and nearly passed out with shock when i managed to fasten the size 14 lol!! xx

wow i admire you doing Slimfast! I tried that once (before i had my daughter) and i lasted one day! I was starving haha!!! I joined slimming world in September last year. Only diet thats ever worked for me long term and ive re discovered my love of cooking lol!!! xxx
