Thanks for all of your ideas going to look through for recipes and will be cooking up a storm over the weekend x

Hi I've restarted sw today and was thinking that I could do a big batch of cooking at the weekend, make 7 meals of 4 portions each, freeze them and have enough dinners for a month, then it's only lunches to think about. I've got vegetable chilli, quorn bolognaise, macaroni cheese, anyone got...

Thanks....sometimes it describes me to a tee! lol I really need to have a look at recipes and lunch ideas on here as I always ending up eating the same things and boredom sets in! How do you make your 1 syn quiche? Ironing...o my! Hate ironing lol

Hi all I'm re-starting SW from tomorrow and I'm doing it at home. I don't have the time to go to the meetings, but do struggle going it alone. It would be great to have some support and make some new friends and hopefully joining your group will do just that! Will try to pop in daily just need...

Thank you for your messages, it means a lot to make friends on here and get the support that I need :) I'm really looking forward to starting back on the diet on Monday and to getting on the road to fitness. I had a radioactive plaque sewn to the back of my eye, it was left in place for a...

Hi all I've not been around much on here as I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. I have a tumour in my right eye and had radiotherapy treatment, which luckily seems to be working, although I'll have to have intensive after treatment with regular eye scans & consultationsfor 2 years...

Woohoo! 3lbs off and that was including Easter bank holiday weekend where I did indulge a little!

Yay day 1 100% yesterday aiming for day 2 and doing ok so far!

Im starting afresh today and I'm aiming for 100% each day 1 day at a time, came across this thread and thought it would be good for me to join in. Hopefully reading that other people are sticking to 100% each day will keep me on track too!

Morning all After having a bad day yesterday I'm feeling much better today. I weighed in this morning :eek: and found that I'd put back on the little bit that I'd lost ~ but instead of that putting me back into a bad mood it's just made me determined to get my derrier into gear! I've brought...

I've got a couple of friends that are dieting, but my iphone is in for repairs so can't contact them as their phone numbers are on my phone lol What a state to get in! I think once I've started again and can get on here I'm sure I'll be fine, this site is great for support & questions and...

Thank you. I think I just felt really isolated as I live in a house full of skinnys who constantly try to get me to eat stuff that's not very diet friendly and so I felt I had no-one to turn to for support. Pc is still poorly but I'll try to get online via work a bit more often. Going to...

You're right, thank you. I'll sit down this evening and read through the books and make a fresh start tomorrow :)

Help.....I'm struggling! My home pc has got a virus so been unable to log on and I've not been able to get to class either. Consequently my diet has been terrible :eek: I really struggle when I try to diet on my own and I really need to get my act together and get on with it! Am I the...

Thanks Aisha I'm doing green days at the moment. You're right though I should incorporate either veg or fruit at breakfast time, will give that a go! Thanks for your support, and good luck with your journey too x

Day 1 in the dieting house (if you say that with a Geordie accent it sounds so familiar lol) I'm sooo fed up of being fat and unfit, so I went back to slimming world last night. I weighed in at my heaviest ever and just wanted to cry :cry: I'm so ashamed and embarrassed that I've let myself get...

Rrrr that did make me feel better ~ I don't feel so bad now. You're right it can only get better from now on. Good luck to you too, here's to all of us being slimmer x

I feel really embarrassed that I've let myself get this big! I keep putting it down to losing my dad but that was 2 years ago now so I've got to stop laying the blame somewhere else. You sound like you're doing really well, 8lb off is great, keep it up hun x

Wow well done! You must be chuffed keep it up :D

I did my kettlenetics again last night and......no aches this morning apart from one bum cheek!! How does only one cheek hurt and not the other lol :D

That did make me chuckle :D

Wow can't believe I'm being an inspiration - I feel great that a hardened couch potato can get up and do something and inspire others to do the same - I'm even more determined to keep it up now! And if I can do it anyone can ;)

I saw it on one of the shopping channels, but ended up buying it on Amazon - have added the link so that you can see what it's like Kettlenetics Women's Kettlebell workout - Red/Black, 1.85 Kg: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Leisure

Kettlenetics is a 4lb kettlebell that comes with 5 dvd workouts, you swing the ball and lift it up and down while doing the exercises. It's quite knackering lol but I did enjoy it Aches & pains are gone today but I'm doing it again tonight so they may well be back tomorrow lol

Thanks for the replies everyone ~ if I was at home when my shopping arrived I would have refused it but my husband accepted it! Never mind some of the recipes look delicious so may just use some syns on those ;)

I joined a group last week and bought some books and a magazine - it wasn't until I got home that I realised the magazine was for Jan/Feb 10!!! Thought that was a bit of a swizz!!!

I did my first bit of exercise yesterday in quite a long time! Oh dear! My thighs are killing me! Every time I get out of my chair this morning I feel the need to groan lol I only did 20 minutes of kettlenetics and was knackered ~ show's how unfit I am! :eek: Got a rest day today and...

Hi all, what a week to start a diet I haven't know whether I'm coming or going! Been sooo busy at work and then had a funeral yesterday. I have been sticking to the diet 100% apart from yesterday as there was a buffet at the funeral, I was starving as I hadn't eaten beforehand but tried to be...

Hi thanks for your reply wow 6lb that's fantastic! Well done! Be lovely to make lots of new friends on here as dieting in my house is a lonely affair as I live in a house of skinnies!

Hi Loo thanks for offering to be buddies that's great :-) I'm going for a green day tomorrow, made some carrot & lentil soup for lunch but haven't sorted dinner yet. I think part of succeeding at this is being organised as well as writing everything down Thought I should tell you a bit about...

Hi I'm starting sw tomorrow (AGAIN!!) and could really use a friend. It would be great to have & give support and maybe have a few giggles along the way. Id like to lose 3 stone so if there's anyone out there just starting their journey and would like a buddy then let me know :-) Dizzyblonde

Thanks for the replies, it's nice to know that I'm not alone! Support from hubby is never that great as he just says you look fine as you are! Which doesn't really help. I'm going to start afresh on Monday as I'm out this weekend for meals and will come on here as much as possible. if I'm...

Hi Why is it that I know how to do this diet, I want to be slimmer but I just can't seem to stick to it!:mad: I can manage a couple of weeks, can lose a few pounds and then it's like I have to sabotage what I've achieved. How do I overcome this or am I destined to be fat all my life...

Well had my first weigh in this morning after a week on SW and I've lost 3lbs.........I'm very happy with that :D I need to read my books again as I don't think i'm eating enough superfree foods or even enough veggies in general, so will do that tonight hopefully. Other exciting news is that...
