So today I have been revising for my exam next week all day, I have actually 'forgotten' to eat today which is a good sign I must have reset my metabolism rate I have a whole day at uni tomorrow so I like to use some of my weekly allowance there - coffees and soup are my indulgences :) Today I...

Sounds like the perfect location :) I was going to say if you have a car I can suggest lots of nice eating places - might not be good for the weight loss tho!

ohhh lovely is that near Seaworld? I am a massive fan of Seaworld and they have the new park Atlantis as well - have you been on the website the DIBB? it's so informative, I found loads of helpful tips on there :) Are you hiring a car? Oh I am so excited for you!!!!

Thanks Ladies :) well done on your 5% Jo I am really looking forward to hitting that little goal

WOW! what an amazing website I cannot stop looking at the wonderful destinations thank you! It gives us so much inspiration and very affordable! Your honeymoon sounds fabulous! I would love to travel to the far east especially Japan, your trip is the trip of dreams I am hoping everything turns...

Oh how exciting I remember the first time I went it is amazing! I am so lucky to have been 3 times, we are addicted to Florida! Sadly we are unable to book anything at the moment as I am a poor student, I finish in August so when (if) I get a job (please please) I will be booking something as...

Tuesday Weigh in day: -2.5lbs :D I am really pleased considering I have eaten really well this week and the exercise has been consistent. I have challenged myself to lose 10lbs in March so I have 7.5lbs to go!

I love this feeling :) I am so looking forward to getting to this point in my wardrobe - well done x

It's so tempting to do this, even though we know it can lead to our undoing, I was a real one for weighing myself showing a loss at home and then 'relaxing' the plan.... Our bodies fluctuate through the day, water weight, food weight - exactly as you say - what you have to do is draw a line...

I love that dress :) and a size 12 wow! You have done so well, I love to read all the inspirational stories on here - I hope I am one of them soon!!

fantastic result! You just need to keep telling yourself it will all be worth it - 20lbs is AMAZING!

Great idea I feel like I am on a roll at the moment but I can fall of the wagon very easily

good luck :) I love Florida so what a fantastic target for you :)

Hello can I join please my first target is lose 7lbs I weigh in tomorrow so I will update how many pounds I need to drop

That is fantastic! I am a bit of an all-or-nothing girl eeeekkkk I started pro points in January lost weight then stopped following it regained (my fault) I've restarted last week and joined my local gym so I have a renewed enthusiasm :) your loss is very inspiring :) I bet you are so excited...

Thanks ladies :) how are you finding exercise impacts on your losses? I Am hoping it has sped mine up as I have found my loss was always slow without exercise.

That is such a shame :( I was chatting to my Italian friend who has the same problem: she lives in the UK so to bring the guest's presents back would cost SO much :( It is such a shame your fiance's family are being so unhelpful, I think weddings are so different these days with each one about...

amazing :) what a success you are!

I was just wondering the same thing :) I have gained over 20 activity points this week, I am primarily hoping to tone and to my weight loss journey but do others find that using them makes a vast difference

Thank you all for the encouragement it is so valuable to share this journey with ppl who have experienced the same journey, you have all done so well! Deadteddy your degree sounds very cool, I wish I had done something more arty :)

Wow what a helpful post this concept really interests me so I am going to mix it up! I also think that having the 'overspend' day three days before weigh in will really help as i have been disappointed with my loss at times on a Tuesday I have always been worried about using my weekly allowance...

I saw your story on the website well done - I too love your posts - I have one saved where you talk about meal ideas and refer to it for 'good tips' you give excellent advice well done - when are you getting married? x

I must admit I find if I use them my weight loss is much slower, I see them as more of a tool for long term weight loss. My mum lost 3 stone on the WW discovery plan but she kinda let it all creep back on, when I was explaining the new system she thought it was a really good idea to have a...

Thanks so much for the welcome, lovely to meet other online users :) Becktoria - thanks for the comments about my Blythe doll :) I am going to treat myself to another one when I have a job! It is a busy year for me I feel like I will sleep for a year in September! Deadteddies - I love your...

Hello I wanted to introduce myself on the forums as I am doing WW PP online which can be a little lonely! I am getting married in August so I want to be a beautiful bride! I am a final year student midwife so the next 6 months will see a lot of changes - including weight loss I hope :)...

I have been away from the forums for a while now (not intentional as I have been studying like mad) Yesterday I joined my local gym, I have not been able to afford a membership owing to my life as a poor student but I found an offer I couldn't refuse and joined yesterday... Today I booked...

I too strayed off plan from about November so I took a deep breath and weighed myself 5.5lbs on so back on track today....

Thank you EB - I did have a really good week so I was chuffed to bits :)

Another shape Zero fan here - love them :) I also love total 0% greek yogurt - it does taste of yoghurt if that makes sense but I like that about it, I love it with berries and a drizzle of honey (synned of course)

My SW buddy loves it! She spread LF laughing cow on it for lunch and they go all soft and she eats it! She also crumbles it into pasta and sauce - and let me tell you when she does the weight loss is always amazing! I reserve judgement on this topic though as I have never tried it!

I use quark, and a white chocolate options with splenda and mix it with berries, I think it's person taste I am afraid :(

Veggie chilli cooking in the slow cooker :)

I too would love the recipe if you read this :) mmmm

So sorry to read this :( You are so right when you say you can't turn off your feelings, sadly women and men handle things so differently, I would suggest writing down how you feel - almost like a letter to him - but don't mail it. You obviously pictured you life with him so it does come as...

you look amazing! you will be a beautiful bride :) it will fly by you will be dress shopping before you know it!

OOOOO pretty! I love the details on the side it's really really lovely, it's so flattering - are they pictures of you hun?

EB: good luck today - take some pics if you feel brave! I think I am going to have my hair down I have quite a detailed strapless dress so I might skip the veil as well - I haven't decided - what a shame about the bride I think I would be mortified if that happens at our wedding, but I know what...

you will have to let me know how it goes :)

Ok brilliant thank you I have started to work towards my award this weekend so I wanted to know if she needed to know before I started IYKWIM in case she wanted to monitor the 4 week period

I just wanted to post on this thread as I love your blog :) Congrats to on your wonderful news :) two of my closest friends are due in May - a very lovely month to welcome a little one into the world

Hi :) I am quite new to the boards as well and I can honestly say it has been a life saver! I started going through the photo thread for ideas, then the recipe threads and went from there :) I also fill my food diary out as a reference point for how I have been doing and to comment on recipes I...

I just want to echo what everyone else has said, don't stop going to the classes because you will regret it :( I like many of us have lost and regained the same 3 stone for ten years....my weight gains always start with me thinking 'what's the point' then 7lbs turns into a stone etc etc... you...

Hopefully you get your book back - it's so annoying when you fancy something and you don't have your recipes :)

Awww bless her, I think support from our friends is sooooo important :) I am doing this with my friend who has already lost a stone and a half and when I was having a crappy week she really talked me round! She also really helps me focus on why I am doing this :) (I am so craving cookiedough...

I am off to Zizi's tonight I have decided to have the spaghetti pomodoro with the insalata mista I am a dessert girl though so I am trying to work out the syns but it seems nigh on impossible... Any thoughts?

Hi all So I have been doing SW for 7 weeks now and think I have a good hold on the eating plan, I know want to move onto my body magic awards. I have the FIT sheets which I have filled in - do I need to tell my consultant that I am working towards the Bronze award? If I fill the sheets in...

Thank you Kirsty I was so pleased my hard work actually worked this week, I am trying to repeat my success this week :)

I like two choc and fudge in a bowl microwaved for 20 seconds and then broken up :) I did add some LF custard the other day - a small pot is 5.5 syns but very satisfying

Mashed potato on toast :)

Morning Ladies EB: gym membership is my goal as well for now I am focusing on my Bronze award so today I have been for a 15 minute powerwalk/jog I aim to do another 2 more this week to hit my 45 minutes this week :) You will have to let us know how it goes this weekend :) Fern: Your wedding...

I don't know if this helps but I always cook my pieces in veggie stock you could use chicken stock and it def alters the flavour, especially if I am having a 'plain' stir fry as they are a bit bland as you say... It is interesting that you mentioned the sweet flavour as I made some veggie soup...

SOOOO pleased I lost 5lbs this week yayyyy!!! So in spirit of keeping up the good work here we go Friday: Green day Breakfast: X2 Weetabix (HEB) Soy milk (HEA) Lunch: homemade veggie soup with quorn pieces Shape Zero Yoghurt Skinny hazelnut Latte (HEA) 3.5 syns Dinner: Pasta bake Pasta...

DB I think we are all guilty of this as we have weight problems :( I guess focusing on why you want to lose the weight can be a good start, is it to be healthy is it for a specific goal? I think knowing that the journey isn't a straight road helps, as many of us can probably attest to. We have...

Hi Loonylamb sounds like you have started off really well :) well done! I was called 'the biggest loser' today as a joke as people were kind enough to say they can start to see I have lost weight: I think they are being nice as it's only 8lbs so far! A good few weeks is always a boost isn't it...

I am making a pasta bake tonight: cooked penne pasta mixed with leftover Quorn spag bol and HE cheese

I hope it's ok to join in the thread I'm so pleased this week 5lbs off and got my half a stone award woo!

Good tip, I loved the original recipe my oh said he would prefer a more sauce xx

Oh we have good taste then :)

I am in the mood for a casserole type dish: I have some veggie soup all made up, I am tempted to add some quorn pieces now I would LOVE some dumplings but I fear that is probably overkill lol

oooo A Zumba game for indoors is a good idea I won't be able to make a fool of myself though! Laura isn't it usually the men trying to get the OH to agree to getting a kinect thingy! Ellesbear: loosing weight is a huge focus you are right

Green for me :)

Thank you Laura :) ps I love your avatar Manc bird I have never tried Zumba I have heard lots of great things about it though :) Ellebear: it sounds like you have a really calm approach to wedding planning - which is great! I was shocked when I a lot of people said I was 'a bit early' I was...

My new discovery was Shape 0% yogurt I despise mullerlights as they tastes so artificial :( I have tried so many and then I read a recommendation on this forum and rush out to get some 2 for £2 in Tesco today: YUMMY!! I can now eat yummy yogurts again as I had been avoiding them for a while and...

So yesterday was a really positive day for me - so far today so good! I am enjoying this food diary - it really makes you think about what you are eating Green Day Breakfast oatso simple sachet (HEB) reduced sugar jam (.5 syns) Soy milk (HEA) Lunch Ainsley Harriot Veggie cous cous (.5...

We can all do it :) when are you getting married Ellebear? Are you a laid back bride or a bridezilla lol I have been very organised so far as I am very tight for time next year as I am finishing my degree. I also have 3 months of caseloading as I am a student midwife so we are all on call as...

Thank you Miss Mango I have started chatting some threads so I am going to be brave and join in I think :)

I don't know the circumstances but I am not sure why you need them, :( it's a bit of a pain but you can get copies as Ellebear suggested

well I have been brave and added my goal weights... size is the most important, I need to drop 2 dress sizes to fit the dress, and then I want to smash that target and look stunning! I actually brought my dress 3 years ago as we were planning to be married in 2007 but major life changes put...

Mashed Potato :) I could literally live on it

Thanks for the welcome, I have just started a food diary :) my losses are either really big but then I tend to gain :/ I think I am either really focused on the plan and follow it 100% or wander off and really mess up... I am hoping to stop the yo-yo :eek:

I hope to have a great loss this week so here goes: Sunday Green Day Breakfast: Oatso simple HEB Soy Milk HEA Lunch: x2 Eggs Slimming world chips (yummy) 150g LF custard (5.5 syns) banana 4 teaspoons RS jam (1 syn) Dinner: strozapretti pasta recipe (1.5 syns) X2 alpen light bars (HEB)...

I have had an odd month like this, a really positive start I was .05 away from my 7lb award and I gained 3.5lbs :( I am either really good or really awful... I am having an angelic week this week so here's hoping I get a sticker!

Hello Ladies I have been lurking for a while, would it be possible to join in? I am getting married in August (14th) I have my dress and I don't fit into it (long story) I keep dreaming I will be too large to wear it so I need lots of support! I am doing SW, I go to classes. My progress has...

I have made my lunch ready for uni tomorrow: SW falafel, with Ainsley Harriot Roasted Veggie cous cous (1/2 syn) with a salad and some fruit :) Lunch is the meal I struggle the most with on the go :/

I am going to try the strozapretti pesto rosso recipe I found on this site

Hello I have been a veggie for a very long time now :) one of my super quick meals is: 2 packs of noodles (You can use any kind just don't use the sauce) I use Sainsbury's basics I find one is too few and 2 can be quite a lot but they are yummy Handful of quorn chicken style pieces 3/4 pint...

I made this one a couple of weeks ago, it was nice but tasted quite 'eggy' is that normal or did I need to cook it slightly longer?

I am going to make this one tonight looks amazing :)

I have found this thread so useful for writing my shopping lists I have some pictures of meals I will post them when I am able to :)

Hello I am a newbie to the site, I would love to get some ideas from other students on SW :) I am a 3rd year student midwife, plus a bride to be - nothing like pressure huh?! I have a lot to lose it's pants really :/ I love hearing stories and tips

Hello all I am glad to be able to finally post :) I joined Slimming world in September. I could do with a bit of support and ideas.... I have lots to be excited about, I just need to shed some weight I am getting married in August and I also qualify as a midwife I am looking forward...
