    From 16's to 15's

    We'll, I've joined AGAIN and am in the 16s AGAIN. Start weight 16st 3.5lbs. Lost 1.5lbs in first week and just back from 10 days holiday, so expecting a gain when I weigh-in tomorrow. We'll see! Feeling focused this time - so determined to finally do something about this weight!

    Welcome to Newbies 2013 - Say Hello here!!!

    Thanks for the support! 2lb gain, but better than I deserved considering my 4 takeaways on consecutive nights last week. I think my efforts so far this week have saved me a bit, and I'm feeling totally focused now. Bring on the skinny jeans!

    Welcome to Newbies 2013 - Say Hello here!!!

    Hi, I'm Katy. Have restarted slimming world AGAIN. Hoping this will be the last time! I have between 4 and 5 stone to lose. I don't have an exact target in mind as it's been 8 years since I was slim, so have no idea what weight would suit me best yet. I'm hoping that joining up here will give me...

    Slimming World Quiche

    I just made this for lunch for me and my 2 year old and it was delicious. I used grilled bacon and frozen peas, with 5 eggs and a tub of quark (275g I think). I used some low fat grated cheese on top and baked it for 25 mins at 180. I think this will definitely be a regular on our menu from now on!

    Awful man promoting anorexia to young girls

    A trending topic occurs when words/phrases/names are used more than any other on Twitter.

    Surgery/Dead skin?

    I have no answers but really interested in this too. When I think about it too much it demotivates me a bit as I feel like it's pointless losing weight just to be left with loads of baggy skin! Hopefully the steady rate of weight-loss will help to prevent it, and I'll start using cocoa butter asap!

    BREAD!

    This is probably just me, but I cringe whenever I hear it! I can't bring myself to say it, and have to announce my period instead, lol. I don't know what it is, but I just don't like it!

    I don't think you're overreacting. It seems to me like they've been really insensitive here. It's probably completely unintentional, but they haven't considered your feelings, and should have had the good grace to let you know without you having to chase them up on it. Is it possible that they...

    Greed

    I completely agree with this. And I don't think all overweight people are greedy. I know I'm not. I generally can't eat a large amount of food in one sitting, I rarely snack, and I don't keep eating after I'm satisfied. I do, however, make TERRIBLE food choices, hence the weight gain!

    What time do you eat in the evening?

    This is the thing for me - I usually go to bed at about 12:30/1am, so I guess eating at 8/9 isn't such a big deal, as I'm up for quite a while after. I'd like it if I could eat earlier, but it just doesn't work for us. I also worry that if I ate at 6, I'd be getting hungry again by 10, so would...

Me and my OH rarely eat before 8pm, as he works til gone 6 most nights, and then we have the bedtime routine for our kids between 7-7:30, so by the time we've cooked something, it's usually pushing 8:30...

    What Christmas present would you like to find under the tree.

    I'd be delighted if I was surprised with the keys to a lovely new house to fit my little family in. We're growing out of ours fast, and with all of the Christmas presents for the kids about to turn up, I'll probably have to start sleeping in the car soon!

    Good! No point allowing yourself a treat if you're not going to enjoy it! You'll be able to get back on plan tomorrow, and hopefully still have a loss at weigh-in. If you're doing slimming world as a way of life, you have to allow yourself the odd treat every now and then. Nothing's forbidden...

    My OH is one of the only people who does know my weight. I was slim when we met 5 years ago and lots of convenience food + 2 kids later I've gained around 5 stones. I've never seen the point in keeping my weight from him as he sleeps at the side of me every night, so it pretty obvious I'm...

    I'd like to lose the weight yesterday(!), but will try to be realistic and give myself a year.

    I think it's great that so many people feel good straight off the mark - the decision to do something about your weight and (for the most part) see results so immediately is such an amazing feeling.
