I lost a pound this week...not very happy, but as I said, at least it's going the right way. I don't think I'm drinking enough so I've stepped up my water intake too.

Ah, I see! Thank you for explaining Nikki, I forgot to ask at my group :)

Thanks :) Little confused though when you said I had only had half my HEB? In the book, it says 1 Alpen light bar, and then underneath 2 Alpen Light bars...I went for the 1 in case it was a typo! Well, I went to weigh in. I lose a pound on my first week. Not over the moon about it but at least...

Hello all! I did SW EE around 2 years ago and lost about 3 stone. Then I stopped going and over the past 2 years, have only put 3lbs back on (yay!). I started a new group last Tuesday as I really do want to lose a bit more for xmas/holiday next year. I've set myself a goal to lose 2.5 stone in...

Hi Everyone! It's been a looooong time since I've been on here! I joined a while ago when I had a lot of weight to lose. I've tried Weight Watchers, Lighter life and Slimming World. SW was the only one that seemed to work for me and I've shed 4.5 stone :) However, I have been puttig on a...

Hi, I need some ideas for "quick fix" work lunches. I was told about the Mug Shots at my group but some of them aren't free? Also there were these little pasta snack pots which were either free or 1syn for example. Could you help me out and let me know what I can pick up whilst wizzing round...

Ok this is getting a little heated now. Some people have been insinuating that I "hate" or "dislike" this man in my group...far from it. I was mearly using him as an example. This thread was for whether people thought it would be fairer to be calculated on %weight loss instead of pure pounds...

Wow I can't believe how much opinion people actually have about this topic! And just so I make myself clear, I was having a rant...I am not jealous and I dont think I should "take a step back and look at myself". The awards are my motivation...that's what I strive for...so I don't think I...

I was not saying that he doesn't deserve it. I said I was very happy for him. And he will have bigger loses than "smaller" people because that's science. The bigger you are, the more you will lose. Unless of course they don't try one week :)

But they don't even need to work it out, they have the PDA's with everyone's weight losses on and it calculates how much they've lost in total, and what awards they've earnt (if any)...it wouldn't take much to load new software to calculate it for them...

So, I need a little perspective on whether I'm getting worked up over nothing... There's a guy at our group who is rather...large...he is the biggest person there. By default, bigger people will lose more pounds than people closer to their target weight...that's just life. In his first week he...

I am currently on the SW Extra Easy plan and have my weigh in tonight. Unfortunately, I had to skip the gym yesterday so was thinking about doing a quick jog or exercise DVD tonight before my weigh in. Is this wise? I've heard conflicting reports: a) I will put on weight because of the amount...

I am currently on the SW plan and have my weigh in tonight. Unfortunately, I had to skip the gym yesterday so was thinking about doing a quick jog or exercise DVD tonight before my weigh in. Is this wise? I've heard conflicting reports: a) I will put on weight because of the amount of fluids...

I've got a power plate in my home gym. At first, I couldn't feel any difference when I worked out on it to when I didn't....so I gave up on it and it gathered dust in the corner for a few months. Now I've joined a Virgin Active gym for their classes and pool and they have power plates there. I...

Just got back from WI...I put on a pound :( I know it's not much but it has really upset me. I'm vowing to stick to the plan 100% this week and journal my food again because I haven't for the past 2 weeks. I've also got monday and tuesday off work this week so will be gyming hard!!! Oh...

The past 2 weeks I have had fantastic loses...3lbs per week. But this week I have gone really off the rails! I weigh in on Thursdays (so tonight!) and I always tend to have a bit of a dodgy weekend...a few over syns and things but always get back on the plan for the working week. But as Monday...

Is there such thing as a treadmill DVD? I mean like an exercise DVD but done on a treadmill. I get so bored watching films when im walking/jogging and it would sort of be like a personal trainer I guess! Can anyone let me know of any asap?

I've heard of people not eating AT ALL on weigh in day and surviving on water and black coffee...some people don't eat after 3pm...some people do 2 hour exercise sessions... Does anyone do anything like that on weigh in day? I try not to eat past 5pm and my weigh in is at 7pm. I don't just...

OK thanks everyone :)

Evening everyone! Just wondering if anyone knows how much our 15 syns a day adds up to calorie wise? Or how many calories is equal to 1 syn? I've gone afew points over today so need to know how many extra calories I need to burn off in the gym tomorrow :sigh:

I think all this is fantastic :) OK, we may not all feel completely comfortable in a bikini ...but to have 1 item of clothing in our suitcase that we can go "this time...I'm going to wear this!" and actually wear it...that will be the best thing ever, thats what I'm trying to get at with this...

Yes I've tried Claire Nasir's DVD. When it started I was like "ohhh...interval training...this will make me sweat!" and I was not wrong! I did the warm up...and then I got bored. You do a routine once, and then have to do it all over again! It's way too repetitive for my liking. And in one of...

I have a lovely holiday in the south of France to look forward to at the end of August. And I want to be able to...for the first time ever...feel confident in a size 10/12 bikini! I find the prospect of a bikini quite daunting! I'd like everyone who's got a holiday coming up to join me and get...

Sainsbury's are doing 4 Muller Lights for a pound! My favourite is the Vanilla with Chocolate shavings...I can't believe it's chocolate and it's free! :D

Hi everyone! I am celebrating my first ever half a stone weight loss this week :D I was just wondering if anyone had noticed how big an impact exercise has on weight losses? In Week 3 I did NO exercise what so ever and stuck to the plan 100% and only lost half a pound. On Week 4 I started going...

Hi Everyone:wavey: I did Lighter Life a couple of months ago but I ended up being so ill from that (because basically you cant eat!) that I came off it after a week. I've decided (as it's a new year and that flab is still there) to join slimming world. Today is day 3 for me. I'm finding this so...

I went in to see my LLC friday to swap my soups with chilli (i cant get on wit the soups at all!). On saturday I went to hae the chilli for lunch and it smelt horrible...went to taste it and i couldn't eat it. I thought it was strange because this is usually my favourite food pack and its gone...

Well day 1 and 2 i managed to stay on my 4 food packs. day 3 i had my food packs but in the evening i was so hungry that i was in pain and moody. i ended up having some carrot and cucumber sticks. after i felt so much better and i woke up feeling better. i know i did wrong as i ate "outside...

Hi everyone, I just have a quick question about the soups. How much water do you add? Everything else has a rough guide on the packet but not these... Thanks :rolleyes:

Well I don't have that horrible headache today (thank god! I was getting suicidal because I couldn't sleep with it last night) and my breath is pretty bad haha! The BF had no shame in telling me last night :P So hopefully I'm well on my way! Hope everyone has a good day :)

I had a really nice evening too. Had a chat with my Mum when I got home from work...had my chilli...sent the BF out and had myself a gorgeous bubble bath with candles :)

Hey Mags. Hope you're well. I will admit I am feeling a little better this morning. I've just had my first shake so am not hungry...I just feel very tired and weak. It's strange though, I feel like a need to go back to bed but actually had no trouble getting up this morning...maybe I'm going...

Hey Kim, Thanks for that...you've just given me a little more hope :) It's nice to know these symptoms are "normal" so to speak and that they will pass. I have another question actually...did you experience mood swings at all? Because at the moment I'm feeling really grouchy and I just snapped...

Well it's day 1 for me. I've had the porridge and vanilla milkshake so far and have really liked both (luckily!) But now I'm getting hunger pangs...I'm trying to keep busy and I'm drinking loads of water but they won't go and it's too soon for me to have another pack. I also have a...

Afternoon everyone! Never though I'd get excited about this...but I just bought a blender for work for my milkshakes! I have my orientation meeting tonight so start properly tomorrow! Just wondering really if you're allowed to take a multi-vitamin/iron tablets on LL total? :confused:

I am def in. I think a long hot buble bath will be in order :) I am very excited to start mags! although i officially start tuesday...i have my orientation on monday evening so come tuesday morning i will be having my first shake!

i think thats a brilliant idea ^_^ xx

Hi everyone :) hope everyone's doing well on their diets and you're all having the loses you deserve! I just wanted to put my blog out there for you to have a look at if you wish: http://nomorequarterpounders.blogspot.com/ I know alot of people blog on this forum but since I have a good few...

Yeah I cannot wait to start. This week is going so slowly...always the way when you're looking forward to something. How are the shakes etc? I'm a little worried they will taste like the horrible slim fast ones :s

Hi Carrie! How is your LL going? How long have you been on it now?

Thanks for getting back to me. You've put my fears at ease haha! Just looking at your weekly loses...you've done amazingly! I hope I can do as well as that :s I'm so nervous but anxious about starting...only a week to go! :D xxx

Hi everyone :) I have had my first meeting with my LLC and have been given this health questionnaire to be filled out by a doctor/nurse. It's just stuff like blood pressure and health problems etc. The one thing that's worrying me is the "food allergies" bit. The nurse out down I am allergic to...
