Wow! You've done brilliantly, I bet you feel amazing. Well done, what an inspiration you are. X

Hi Camogirl. I too recently started RC. I lost 7 lbs in my first week and nothing in the last two. I came on a couple of days ago but I also know I have not been ULTRA strict so it's my own fault. Well done giving up smoking. I gave up four years ago and it's the best thing I ever did. I used...

Rachel, good luck with the jeans! It's so not nice when you feel like your circulation is being cut off is it! Good luck camogirl. I agree, half a stone is a reasonable goal (if you're strict.. I keep telling myself that too!) Juliet X

Rebecca thank you SO much for taking the time and trouble to do this, much appreciated. Juliet X

Hi - so it's the 4th May, there are 4 weeks until the 1st June. What do people hope to achieve? I'd like to lose eight pounds and get into the 11's. That's perfectly achievable isn't it IF I am strict. Hmm, lets face it, that's the key to weight loss success isn't it. The odd bite of this or...

lol Rachel, I once went to a Spinning class, emphasis on once. Most uncomfortable experience of my life so well done you for persevering! My friend is a Zumba instructor and I take money at her four classes every week so I also do four sessions. You would think it would make the weight fall off...

Rebecca that is really kind of you and I appreciate it a lot. Juliet X

Hi, does anyone know where you can get a comprehensive list of which pot measures which food stuff etc? I don't want to pay £34.99 to join online for one month just to get this info? Thank you in advance, Juliet

Right Rachel, I am totally with you on the committed thing! For me, I have lost so much already that you would think this last stone of mine would be a breeze. Somehow though, I have lost my va va voom. I think it's because I feel 'normal' these days. I look normal, no-one would call me fat. (I...

Right... well I just typed a post and it seems to have vanished. I wish my remaining stone would follow suit. I have been on RC for two weeks. Official weigh-in tomorrow but I weighed today and have lost nothing this week. I lost 7 lbs in my first week though so am pretty pleased with that. I...

Funnily enough I just put in a bid on eBay for some Portion Pots. A lot of them come with DVD's and other things. I only want the Pots so I'll see if I win them! Ultimately though, I can manage with scales and measuring jugs so it's not crucial. I feel so motivated. Let us know how you get on...

Hi, I've just completed my first week on the Amazing Inch loss Plan and have lost half a stone. (I want to lose another stone to get back to goal) I haven't done any of her other plans but this one is sure working for me. I have done WW Points but I find I would round the points down instead of...

Don't know what anyone else thinks but when you're SOTW, I think you should win a weeks free class. To be honest, taking home a bag of people's manky fruit offerings is not a prize to me, it's a burden lol!

Not a brilliant weekend for me. I have heard of 'Flexible Syns' but I am sure you should be further than three weeks into the plan before you resort to them. Probably had ten extra on both saturday and sunday. I am going to have a really light day today to make up for it. B: Yoghurt L...

I lost a pound. I was SO good this week apart from the Doritos episode but really, I should have lost more. Two Zumbas and several dog walks. It is time of the month though so I am hoping by next week my body will be back to normal and I'll have a loss to get excited about. However because I...

Thank you SO much X

Okay, so what did today bring. Period pains mainly. Dog walk, housework, other chores and a lovely massage this afternoon. Not mine. I AM the massage therapist! I love my job. For the whole other I get to listen to chillout tunes while making it possible for someone else to drift off while...

Thank you, when I was on WW I hardly ever ate potatoes, I used BNS instead so I could save points. I have gone off it a bit and loving the fact I can eat potatoes again. I realise though I just need to listen to my stomach and not my mouth.

Good avice Karen, thanks.

Thanks Emma-Louise I think you're right. My first week I put on a pound and a half which was ridiculous! It's not like I am a stranger to losing weight but I realise now I just ate too much. Hopefully I'll have a loss this week.

P.S. Lynn you've done pretty well yourself! Well done!!!

Lynn what a lovely post. Thank you! X (Thank you for your welcome Belle)

At my heaviest I weighed 20 stones 4lbs. I remember being weighed at a lunchtime WW meeting around the corner from work. I was absolutely mortified. I could feel the heat burning the shame on my face and the prickling on the back of my neck. The leader was totally unsinspiring, having put two...

8th November - Green day B: All Bran (42g) HeB 350mls skimmed milk (HeA) - Shape zero yog mixed with TOTAL fat free greek yog. L: Baked beans on Jacket wedges with 42g red fat cheddar (HeA) pineapple D: Mixed bean pasta salad with added fresh salad, tomatoes, peppers, carrot, lettuce, red...

Jules, I put on a pound and a half in my first week. I too am hoping for a better loss this week! Good luck X

I think that's a very realistic answer and I appreciate it. I am going to make sure I have lots of superfree foods in and use those as snacks and make them the bulk of my meals. Thanks again.X

Yesterday was a disaster. Ate lots of Doritos. On top of my 15 SYNS. I have had a great on plan day today and the days previous were fine. Am hoping to have a loss this week despite the D slip-up. EE today: B: All bran (heb) shape zero, banana L: Tinned salmon, cheese (hea) salad d: Lean...

Hi, I may have posted something similar to this recently but I could do with people's opinions. When I joined a week and a half ago and on the website, it says you can eat as much free food as you like, at any time. It says let your appetite be the guide. Well surely for fat people, judging...

Thank you Honey!

I have started doing that, thank you. I am prepared to learn along the way :-) thanks for sharing your experience. Nice to know I'm not alone! X

Thanks Sue, much appreciated X

Congratulations!

Right here goes: (Am doing GREEN for a week) B: All bran (42g - HeB), Total fat free greek yoghurt mixed with Mango Shape Zero yoghurt L: Baked beans (one tin) on 2 slices of WW brown bread (400g loaf) with 21 g red fat Cathedral City (Half of HeA) Banana D: Large mixed salad, with 2 Quorn...

This is how I do mine. I much prefer them as wedges with the skin on. Yum!

Thank you both. I think I will put a food diary on here as I am sure the feedback would be really helpful. X

Hi, am ashamed to report a 1.5lb gain at my first weigh-in. Am no stranger to losing weight so you'd think I would have some idea but I failed spectacularly. I realise there is no magic - at some point if you eat more than you need, you will gain weight. I know I ate a lot this week and I...

Thank you Kirsty! However to my eternal shame I put ON a pound and a half! Last week I followed green days all week at home and lost 4 lbs, this week I did extra easy and I think I simply ate MORE than I needed. They tried to make me feel better by saying I am not the first person to GAIN in...

I'll be interested to see how you get on with it Irene! X

I have to keep reminding myself how far I've come. My weight has been pretty consistent over the last five years although I seem to gain and lose the same 7-10 lbs over and over. I'm 12.12.5 and I want to get to 11.7. When I was at my heaviest and most miserable at 20.4!! I never dreamed I...

Thank you SO much! XXX

Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me how I can find my own posts? This might seem obvious but I am still finding my way around and would appreciate some advice! Thank you XX

Well done, bet you feel mega motivated for the week ahead. My first SW weigh in on Thursday, would LOVE a loss like that. X

Thank you for your nice welcomes! Hopefully I'll work out how to use everything soon. X

Hi, I joined today after Googling Slimming World advice for the last couple of weeks and kept being directed here. I joined a class last week so have most of the information I need. These seems like a friendly and helpful forum so I am looking forward to making some dieting friends! I'm 39, live...
