Thank you lovely xxx

Nearly through 2nd week and 10 pounds down. This mon-fri 0 carb and weekend treat seems to be working well for me. I didn’t find it hard to go back on plan on Monday, I didn’t feel like I was starting over again and my appetite was still more or less gone. I feel great and my skin is clear and...

Hi guys, I stuck to the diet all day Friday but I decided to have the weekend off because I didn’t want to be a Debbie Downer. I actually think it might work out for me having the shakes mon-fri and then the weekend having solid foods or anything I’ve been craving. It’s my official weigh in day...

Day 4: Popped on the scales again. Another 2.5 pounds down. That’s 7 pounds in 3 days. Woohoo!

Nearly at the end of day 3!!!! Hope the hunger stops tomorrow. Can’t belive how gorgeous the lemon cheesecake shake was, feels like a proper treat.

Day 3 I’ve had apple & cinnamon porridge for breakfast which was lovely! For lunch I made the ham and mushroom pasta soup and binned it because it was so vile haha, I had the peanut bar which was lovely. Going to have a shake for dinner tonight I think. I popped on the scales this morning and...

Day two. I've had lemon breakfast bar which was lovely, Mexican rice which wasn't terrible and I'm having a vanilla shake for dinner. Today doesn't feel as bad as yesterday but I have plenty of distractions today and I'm going to the theatre tonight. Crossing my fingers the hunger goes away...

To be honest, I was thinking before I started that I might have Saturdays off and have some solid food and a drink but by the looks of things it takes so long for your body to get used to the diet that its not worth it. I don't want to do anything to get in my way. Congrats on your weight loss!

Today doesn't seem as bad a yesterday but i think it may be because I'm at work and have lots of distractions. I can't wait till the hunger goes away. CANNOT WAIT! That's exactly what I'm going to do, I'm gonna stick to porridge, shakes and the bars when I make my next order. Congrats on losing...

Ok so, nearing the end of day 1. I haven’t felt great to be honest. Tired, weak and a little bit head achey. Bit “hangry” too. I loved the porridge this morning, I had the chicken and leek soup for lunch which was disgusting and made the Spag bol for dinner but couldn’t eat it - it was awful so...

I’m hoping keeping a diary will keep me on track. It’s good to have a goal like that :).

Thank you so much for all your brilliant advice Sian. xxx

So you should be! That’s amazing progress!

Thank you Darcy! Wow well done! How long has it taken you to lose that? Yeah in the past i’ve followed strict diets and then started to allowed little exceptions which in turn made me stop losing weight and go off the diet. I have to be 100% this time. xxx

Thank you! ♥️

Hi everyone, I turned 30 a week and a half ago and i’ve decided i’m not going through my thirty’s being a weight that effects my life anymore. I’m a really outgoing and fun person but my body has started to make everything so difficult. Every time I go out i’m sweating and am finding it so...

Can always count on the lovely Miss Diva, to welcome me back :) Yes, I hope to fly through the 16's as fast as possible. I won't see my parents until the week before christmas, and I haven't told them that I am dieting so I hope to give them a good festive surprise by having 3 stone off me next...

I'm back! My Aunt died and my died truly went byebye's but I'm back now and close to the 16s again. xxx

The reason I ask this is because several members said that they do it, have some wine, a pizza or a chinese. So after weigh in (had a good loss of 5 pounds) I went to KFC and got a meal, just logged up what I ate and it's worth like 70 syns and now I feel awful and like i've ruined...

In my slimming world group there was a discussion about people who treat themselves after the weigh in by having a naughty meal or eating whatever they want for the rest of the evening. Do any of you do this? If so, does it work? Is it helping you stick to the plan? Are you still losing the...

Hiiii All, I'm sorry I haven't replied or posted, my beloved Laptop is poorly :(... I now however have the Mini mins app on my phone so that I can post whenever I want to. Yaaaaay! I hope you are all doing well. I missed my weigh in last week as I was in my home town of Liverpool. Just got on...

Hahaha Miss Diva, I'm sorry I'm not posting as much as I'd like to... I'm working on two shows and working a full time job so haven't got much time at the moment. I will still definitely be posting every Wednesday to let you know how it is going. Lovely to see your always checking up on me to...

Lost -2 this week. Happy about it because I hardly had any super speed foods so I thought I might have stayed the same. Next week is operation super speed. Mass amounts of fruit and veg... and green tea. I would really like to loose 3.5 next week so that I get my stone award. Hope you are all...

You too Diva. I'm having a quiet one but going to do a bit of exercise to keep me moving. You're doing so well with your walking, 30 miles is exceptional!! Yaaaaay I love your dress and shoes. I want my very own little black dress when I'm at target... seems like lightyears away though. Hope...

Thank you hun, thanks for your advice. I've been a lot more active since going back to work. I aim to exercise today and tomorrow while I'm off work. Have a nice weekend :) xxx

Thank you, lovely! xxx

Also, here are little things I did this week to boost my weight loss: 1) I bought a food diary from Amazon and wrote down everything that touched my lips. 2) I drank 8 glasses of water a day. 3) I had multi vitamins and fiber and herb tablets. xxx

4 pounds of this week, guys! :) :) :) :) Really happy. I have had a really good week eating-wise. I was absent from work Wednesday-Tuesday so wasn't very active this week, so my goal next week is to get more active. I have 5 more weigh ins until I go home to Liverpool to see my parents for...

Hello lovely! Ahhh thank you. I'm hoping and praying its a good number. Thank you for your positive vibes and well wishes. A huge well done for your weighloss achievements so far. Great to see you're on track. Good luck to you too. xxx

Hi Diva, I'm doing well thank you, had a really good week on my diet with no blips... got my weigh in in just over 3 hours so I'm feeling nervous and excited. Ahh brilliant! Where about in England are you going? You'll soooo get a stone off you before the end of April :) xxx

I'd like to join, is possible. No alcohol :) xxx

Thank you, the same to you too. xxx

Wow! Well done Ben, You have done so well. Don't worry about you're gain you'll get them 30 pounds back off in no time. Thank you for the encouragment, best of luck to you too. Ashleigh xxx

I started slimming world Jan 2011 (I lasted about 2 weeks), then spent the year crash dieting and looking for a quick fix so was up and down like a yoyo. I lost 9 pounds in the whole of 2011, tut tut. So this year, at the end of Jan, I decided to join slimming world again and so... here I am. It...

Thank you guys! I will do. Only had 6 syns today and drank 8 glasses of water. Going to be a slimming world grade A pupil from now on. xxx

Thank you Ross. The best of luck to you. :) xxx

What do you think is realistic for someone of my size on slimming world? Any tips on extra boosts? x

You may not have a meeting to go to but you have the support from all of us! Good luck :) xxx

I promise to write much, much, much more frequently on this one. Hope everythings going really well for you Miss Diva. xxx

To anyone who followed this diary... I'm starting my very own chaper two here: http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-diary/261684-diary-dreamer-chapter-ii.html#post4762487 xxx

I'm back. I didn't want to continue with my old weightloss diary as I wanted a completely fresh start. I've started slimming world again and had a bit of a shakey beginning... Alot has changed since I last went to class, in terms of the plan, syns etc. and I started the plan thinking I knew...

Thank you! I work crazy hours in work so i think maybe eating too late has something to do with it. I've got my fingers crossed for a big loss next week. Remember your weight fluctuates throughout the week so don't believe what the scales say until you hop on them exactly a week later. Good luck...

Gutted.

Thank You so much! Best of luck to you too hun! xxx

Feeling a bit pissed off today to be honest! Went on the scales yesterday morning and it told me I had lost 4 pound this week which I was ecstatic about! Sunday is my usual weigh in day so I decided to weigh myself again today and it said i'd hadn't lost 4 I'd actually gained one... so I dunno...

I started a week and a half ago... so I'm a newbie too. Best of luck to you!! xxx

#New Diary Post 1 Okay, so I'm going to try and post here once or twice a week to reflect on my progress and what not. Again I doubt many people will be reading this but I'm writing it more for myself than anyone else. So I'm almost half way through my second week on the Slimming World plan...

I'm doing fine thank you, lost 3 pounds this week which I'm happy about. Sorry to hear about your stressful summer hope its all sorted now. Don't worry about the gain, you'll get it back off you in no time. Don't be saying "I will be fabulous". You are!! xxx

Hello Miss Diva, I've missed our chats!! So glad your still here and have done so well!! Well.... my life has changed quite a bit actually. In February I packed my things and headed to London with £50 in my pocket. I knew I needed to be back there so I up and left and I've been here since...

I'm looking forward to my massive tummy deflating. x

I'm backkkkkk!!

oh gosh! i bloody wish. xoxo

Woah! I don't know how the hell I pulled that one off... I've been very naughty this week and lost 2 pounds? I don't understand? Can the scale lie? I've been on it 3 times today and it says the same!!! Its Monday and I thought I'd face the music and get on the scales and see what's what. My jaw...

haha don't be silly, i love hearing from you! xoxo

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well :( .... that x-ray comment made me chuckle... its good to see you still have your awesome sense of humor :D. I hope you get well asap!!! You're allowed truffles and icecream when you're poorly so don't worry about that! Ooooh your hair...

You must be so proud of all you have achieved! You have done amazingly. I hope I can do as well as you. Its so nice that we can both relate to each others stories... you are still SO young, don't forget that! Thank you for all your lovely comments, they've instantly gave extra spirit...

Hello hun! Sorry its took me a while to get back to you, its been a mad 7 days. I had such an amazing graduation in London though... but i ate and drank what I wanted though and gained 3 pounds. Finding it kinda hard to get into the swing of things though... consumed about 1000 calories the past...

So technically I shouldn't be weighing myself on a friday, it should be a Monday because I started the diet on a monday. I can't stop weighing myself though! I know how naughty it is and I've told people off for it in the past but its addictive. So last week I lost 7 pounds, I weighed myself on...

You're welcome! I don't feel hungry, just have a weird tummy... makes a lot of noises and such... i think its just getting used to not having anything in it. At least with a year off you can focus on driving and yourself :). I went to London Metropolitan University. :) Glad you went to the...

4+ would be great... I'd love another 7... or 14 or 100 hehe. I'd love to start the new year under 16 stone. but we shall see hey! xoxo

Oh wow thats excellent! I'm jealous you're 213 ib... I'm 252 ib... gonna weigh myself on friday again and hopefully I'll have lost a big number again. Aww thank you so much hun. :) can't wait till i can take full body shots haha. xoxo

Wow!! We really do have a lot in common, don't we? Its a shame that you feel like you have to take a gap year to loose weight and gain confidence. My experience as an over-weight performing arts student was fantastic! It actually helped my confidence because any physical work we did I could...

His loss honey. xoxo

I'm so happy that you've found someone who loves you and your booty :) Good luck trying for a baby and loosing your wobbly bits. And yes, you will get there... you have an awesome attitude. xoxo

Haha you go girlfriend!! xoxo

Don't think like that hun, you got him now and thats all that matters. xoxo

Slimfast is really good, it satisfies my appetite. Hopefully next year we'll be wearing smaller, little black cocktail dresses :) How did your weigh in go? xoxo

Just shows how loosing weight can change your attitude <3 I hope she calls you dude. xoxo

He has a point :P many skinny girls do look like they need a good sunday dinner haha. You're right Yvonne, you should start focusing on loving yourself and feeling good about your body and then share that love with another man. xoxo

I'm going to do it for a few months to get a big chunk of the load off and then i might start slimming world again so I can monitor my weight, what do you think? It is strict, but its working and I'm not hungry so its cool :D There is a graduation ceremony and then I'm going for a meal with...

Hey! awww thanks :) Hun, I can completely relate to the crisps thing... done it so many times... "oh i've gone over my syns! f**k it, i'll go for a chinese buffet" haha. so silly, isn't it? I hope WW works out for you! love xoxo

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm so sorry to hear that your low self esteem is affecting your marriage. I really hope that you guys can save your marriage and I hope you can find confidence and get your sparkle back... I'm sure you're beautiful inside and out. Hopefully loosing...

It could be worse, you could be 22 :P Hope you get that confidence asap so you can make one lucky girl very happy. oxox

They will! Best of Luck. xoxo

PPPPSSSSTTTTTT! I've lost 7 pounds since Monday! Not gonna weigh myself until next friday. I'm out tonight and feeling rather lovely now haha. Have a wonderful weekend. xoxo

Yes!!! I think that every time I go shopping. I was going to say the same but i felt big headed haha... my friends commend me on my fashion sense even at this weight but I'm gonna blow them away when i'm a size 14. <3 xoxo

i'm also doing it for fashion, I can't wait to wear the clothes I want to wear. I hope you do find confidence hun! It sooooo is your time. I've never had a serious relationship so i think its my time too! xoxo

I couldn't agree with you more. I am totally fed up of feeling too fat to find love. Its such a shame that we are made to feel that way isn't it? :( xoxo

I agree with what you're saying but from my experience I got more attention when I was slimmer. I think the confidence I would gain with losing weight will make me more comfortable talking to the opposite sex therefore help me find someone - if that makes sense. xoxo

His loss! If he's gone for a slimmer version of you I wonder what he will do when you're a slimmer version of you. I hope he grovels back to you and you're happy with someone who loves you for you. xoxo

I know :( I always go for guys way out of my league, figured I have to step up my game because I don't want to settle for second best. xoxo

Thank you very much! Good luck to you too. xoxo

Is anybody loosing weight for somebody else or to find somebody else? I'm interested to hear your reasons. A part of me is doing this for love. xoxo

So last time I wrote a little diary entry here things weren't going so well on the diet front for me. I never had the guts to go back to Slimming World :( which is a shame so inevitably i ended up having a bit of a 'i-feel-sorry-for-myself-binge'... okay... i admit... twas a big binge. All...

Hello Lovely Miss Diva, I'm sorry to hear your diet has gone tits up :( i've been there a million times just try to start again tomorrow. I can completely relate to the going away part and temptation. I'm always traveling to and from London and I ALWAYS manage to cave in when I get to London...

WOW! Lynn that is exactly what I needed to hear. I can't thank you enough for sharing your advice and being honest with your opinion. I promise I'm getting back to the group on Tuesday - not going isn't even an option. I NEED to go. I'm back on the good food! And I am going to get slim...

Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't been online for 2 weeks... Things have been quite hectic here. I'm absolutely gutted to be saying this again, but yep... you guessed it, diet went awol again :(. I started slimming world, lost 3.5 in my first week. My 2nd week I couldn't attend because I did a show...

It is great seeing other peoples transformations and being able to talk to these wonderful and inspiring people. I'm glad your starting to believe that you can do it... 'cause you can!... and so can I. xoxo

Thank you so much! I hate to have to write when I've failed but I know I have to be honest with you guys so I can learn from it. xoxo

first weigh in loss... 3 1/2 pounds. at first i was disappointed because i wanted my first weeks loss to be a really big one but the group made me realise what a achievement it 3 1/2 pounds is. and as my dad said "its not a sprint, its a marathon" - wise words pops. xoxo

Thank you Healthy 2010. I can always count on you to respond so positively. May I ask what your name is, feels strange calling you by your username hehe. Well thats exactly what the plan was, i've give myself a year to look for acting work and if it doesn't work out to do my teacher...

cheers hun! actually feel better after getting it off my chest. :D xoxo

its my first weigh in tomorrow at slimming world <3 i'm quite nervous. i've stuck to the plan completely! haven't drank alcohol all week. and I've been to the gym 3 times. i'll let you know. been quite down recently... finishing university is the emptiest and loneliest part of my life so far...

it probably because your probably building muscle hun. when i started the gym the trainer told me not to be surprised if i gain weight at first. muscle weighs more than fat. i bet you're losing inches :D xoxo p.s- 30 mins on the treadmill... i salute you! i'm only doing 10 (quite a brisk walk...

Thank you so much. Best of Luck to you too chick! I am very determined :). xoxo

Thank you so much. yeah, i'm back... i need to forget about the fails now. hope you're good hun! xoxo

I haven't written here for about 2 weeks because I've kinda been avoiding you all. :sigh: I failed again. I did well at first but I had a really BAD week and I stupidly turned back to food to make me feel better. But that is over now. Because today... I am starting Slimming World. I've...

I want to see how Bella will change physically when she becomes a vampire! xoxo

Wow! Thank you so much!! That was really such a lovely message. Listen, don't be hard on yourself... we all know how easily the weight creeps up on us... its as if one day you look in the mirror and wonder how the weight got there. Plus, look how far you have come already you may have got to...

Your opinions are really important to me. You are right... I am and emotional eater and if I do get upset, it may ruin everything if once a week that naughty meal reminds me of how delicious chinese food is... I'll probably run straight back to it. Yesterday was really hard as I craved chinese...

Awww that is so sad. What a brave woman for telling the group herself...I hope she beats this cancer! xoxo

[~Food~] Breakfast~ Special K and semi skimmed milk. Lunch~ Light Super Noodles (Thai Chilli). Dinner~ Tomato, chilli and red pepper pasta bake. Snacks~ 0 [~Thoughts~] I need to get back to the gym tomorrow... I haven't done much exercise this week and I went to the gym 4 times last week. I...

Good Luck :) xxx

The best of luck to you! You'll feel amazing when its over! Hope you get well soon. xoxo

I put cheese on it but you'd be able to make it without. It was simple :). I put uncooked pasta in the cookery dish, chopped up red peppers put them in too, added a jar of Garlic-chilli&tomato flavoured pasta bake sauce, filled the jar with water and put that in too... mix it together... put...

Thank you Lynn :) Yes... i think keeping these diaries will be good for me too and I also agree that everyone here is supportive and encouraging. My naughty meal was very nice and very naughty... I've been craving the salt and pepper chicken that I had last night ALL DAY... so now I'm...

I'm basically off fatty foods, chocolate, sweets, cake, crisps and that and sticking to 3 meals a day and keeping motivated. (the only thing i miss is crisps... I'd eat packets and packets a day). Because I've just departed the world of student life I'm learning how to cook nice proper...

I really am! I think you get to a point where either something happens in your life or you face a realisation which changes your attitude and REALLY makes you want to work hard to transform. My mum was walking to work one day and a bunch of builders where shouting abuse at her because she...

Thank you Katie, good luck to you too! xoxo

So I've decided to open up. I see people writing these diary's and they seem to be helpful and encouraging... but even if nobody reads this.... its still a form of expression for me. Who am i? I'm Ashleigh, I'm 22 years of age and I weigh 259 pounds which is 18 and a half stone... I'm only...

haha very true indeedy! xoxo

I'm a big BIG twilight fan xoxo

I lovvveeeee " I woman without wilts like a flower without sun" ~ Amelie xxx

Thanks Alex, I'm so happy others are doing it too. Thank you for the article on kebabs... I will be trying a chicken one on my next naughty meal. You're before and after picture is amazing, You look great! xoxo

Thank you Lynn! Excellent suggestion, i will be doing that. Thank you for replying... i don't feel so bad now! :P xxx

I've been on this diet for a week now and I've just had a naughty meal. I thought it would be a good idea for every Wednesday to eat one meal of anything I want.. to kinda get it out my system and to have something to look forward to. What do you all think? xoxo

Thank you :)

I used to have the same worries. But I figured... I never show my arms or stomach NOW because of the fat and so if I had excess skin on my arms and stomach, i really don't mind continuing to keeping them covered... because I'll be keeping them covered with a size 12 cardigan or t-shirt instead...

oh so its a drug... ! i wasn't sure wether it was a drug or a diet plan. thank you. xoxo

sorry if this is a really dumb question. :heartpump: xoxo

Oh well done :D You must feel bloody amazing, I would. xxx

Yeah :) I think its because i'm anxious to see how my body will respond... and i'm probably putting too much pressure on myself to loose it fast. But yeah, as you said I should just take each day at a time, i will listen to my body too - i just hope it wants to loose the weight haha. xxx

I've just had my induction at the gym. my new program is: 12 mins on bike. 10 mins on treadmill 8 mins on cross trainer 10 mins on rowing machine and 75 crunches. I'm going to do this 5 times a week. I've got about 100 pounds to loose and i really want to get 3 stone off me by...

Thank you, you too! Congrats on nearly getting though your first week... the hardest part is over :) xxx

Yeah its a tad ambitious but i'm going to give it my all. I will let you know :) Good look with your weightloss. xxx

My challenge is to get 3 stone off by then... so my parents can get an extra special picture of me in my cap and gown :) Off to the gym now to book my induction! xxx

Thank You :) xxx

Go see your doctor!!! I've just been to the doctors and my GP gave me a free Gym Membership to help me loose the pounds. I'm ecstatic I can now afford to get fit again!! :D xxx

Amazing! you look fabulous xxx

ahh thank you, that makes sense :). I have done about 23 posts though and it wont let me change my avatar. it just says 'do not use avatar'... any ideas why? sorry to bother you! xxx xxx

why does it say the following when I go to click on my profile?: "thechaplingirl, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's...

oh really! haha... I'm still new to this site and obviously not very good at it yet. Thank you for the christmas dress post :), good look to you too... you look amazing in your picture! xxx

I can so relate to the wanting to wake up thinner thing, I think it almost every night haha... i'm such a lameo. Yeah, they say after a couple of days into it the diet becomes easier to stick to, as yo say its just putting it into practice thats tough. I'm feeling optimistic for tomorrow...

loosing weight can be so darn expensive, i swear if i won the lottery i wouldn't pay for any form of surgery help, i'd get a personal trainer (one that'll kick my butt) and pay for someone to control what goes into my mouth haha. walking and fitness dvds is a good idea though! xxx

Thats a good way to look at it! :) The 6th sounds like a good date now!! :p xxx

I'm supposed to be starting slimming world... I'm intrigued to learn what this CD diet is. Thanks for the advice, my chin is upper already :) xxx

Yeah, your right... need to forget it and move on. I just graduated from university and i'm looking for a job now... until i get money I can't afford to pay for slimming world or the gym... kinda feel as though you need money to loose weight these days :( xxx

failed :cry:

I'd like to loose over a stone this September. Gonna have to work my big butt off :D xxx

Its a new start for me today too. i've only eaten fruit and a bacon and brown bread sandwich so far today... tonight i'm off to an aqua aerobics class. Good luck with the rest of your day! xxx

Good Luck <3 xxx

You should be over the moon after what you have achieved, you have changed your body but it seems you haven't changed your mindset. Look in the mirror at how far you have come! I can't wait until there is a slimmer, healthier lady looking back at me through the mirror... I envy your...

Congratulations, I bet you will look beautiful. xxx

its good to know i'm not alone hehe!! xxx

i have shouted at the TV a number of times haha. I watched an episode from the American series before and a guy lost 100 pounds in 7 weeks... thats like a stone a week... I WISH!!! xxx

The Biggest Loser. Does anyone else blubber like a baby when they see all of these amazing stories and transformations? xxx

I'm starting tomorrow too... i couldn't have stumbled across this website at a better time. Registered about 2 hours ago and I am so inspired and optimistic thanks to all you lovely people. Good luck to everyone :) xxx

Wow! I'm gobsmacked at how much weight you have lost. Such an inspiration! Before I put all the weight on I used to have Pink hair and dress as colourful and crazy as I wanted - I loved it... but now I don't want to draw any attention to myself. I'm looking forward to being able to dress how...

thank you Teresa :) i will indeed be following your advice. i look forward to getting some stickers too. :) good luck with your journey and fitting into that lovely size 14 dress. xxx

Haha wow you really are in exactly the same boat. I want to loose about 6 or 7 stone too. It feels like its going to take decades at the moment but I'm sure if we put 100% into it they pounds will fly off :) Our 20's are for getting out there and enjoying our youth... Good Luck evans048. xxx

I'm new to this site :) after 6 years of being overweight I've decided to make a change starting 1/09/2010 (tomorrow). i'm 22 and i don't want to go through my 20's feeling paranoid and worthless so the time has come to do something about it. any tips or words of encouragement would be...
