How long can a target member stay away from group without having to re-join all over again? I haven't been on scales for the last 4 weeks. Haven't been 100% on plan either. But my choices have been fairly healthy. I needed a break as I was on the brink of getting into eating disorder habits. I...

I've had to completely drop out of group meetings due to work commitments. Will see if I can find a later meeting group. Not weighed for 3 weeks, but been mostly on maintenance plan.

Getting closer to my V shape goal. July 2012

Finally updated my current stats. LOL

Last 6 months ... The target shown on there is 3.5 lbs below my SW target weight, just to say. ;)

And 4 lbs on again.... Argh!

I'm glad they made an effort and brought out the book(let), but I don't really find it that helpful to be honest. I know my weight in my profile hasn't been updated for ages. That's cause I've only been on here through the iPhone App. Sorry. Gained 4 lbs on holiday and was above target. 3.5 lbs...

June 2012

Thanks everyone!

body fat measurement results

So my group leader let slip yesterday that SW will be bringing out a new free support book(let) for target members. It is about time! Can't wait...

May 2012

Uhm. Why are there suddenly random pics of a bride's dress showing instead of my pics?

April 2012

Oh hya. Sorry I've not been on much. Doing great. Half a pound away the end of the upper target range last Wednesday. But will be down again this coming Wednesday. Going up and down. ;)

Yeah. Apologies. I've not been on the actual website for ages to update my Minimins

After 2 lbs gain last week, 3.5 lbs off for me this week!

After 2 lbs gain last week, 3.5 lbs off for me this week!

I guess you can call that "maintenance" ...

Not having any expectations for tomorrow. Don't really care this time.

I've looked back on my gains and losses since reaching my lowered target and I'm happy to say that it looks like I've maintained my weight. The average is showing the weight balanced itself out after each extreme loss or gain.

It is my three years jubilee this month. March 2009 was the start of my journey to a new healthier me.

Pound off for me this week. Also done 7 skin fold caliper measurements and lost another 1 % body fat since mid Jan, part of which is a 2 lbs fat loss. Now at 11.48 % body fat. Getting leaner and leaner. Started measuring at 14 % in November

Pound off for me. Also done 7 skin fold caliper measurements and lost another 1 % body fat, part of which is a 2 lbs fat loss. Now at 11.48 % body fat. Getting leaner and leaner.

No weigh in last week. So not sure what this week will bring. Ever since I reached target, I've only followed minimal principles of the plan. But haven't been "on plan" as such. So my weight has gone up and down between 0.5 and 2 pounds every week. But that's fine, right?

I'm not sure why that one pic is in there twice. Lol

Thanks guys

I weighed last night with same weigh in clothes. I know my home scale seems to show 3 lbs less than SW scales. So added them to result and I'm 1.5 lbs lighter than last week. Still within target range. Maintenance is working well so far.

Thanks girlies! ;)

0.5 lbs off for me. 1.5 lbs over target, but within range ;)

I agree.

Proud to report a 2 inch loss on my waist from 33.5 in mid December to 31.5 inch last week and the first sight of abs showing. Can't wait to see more results in the coming weeks!

1.5 lbs on for me as expected

I think I've put last week's loss back on. No prob though as I was 0.5 lbs under target. ;)

I don't know if counting calories is really for us maintainers. It appears almost as a step back for me, the longer I'm doing it. So, sorry I made such a suggestion. ;) I'm trying and testing what works for me at the moment.

I've lost weight by counting calories before I went to SW. So now that I'm at target I try to combine the two by using the MyFitnessPal app & website. Not using their automated calorie suggestions though. I went with http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm as I know my body fat...

Congrats and a very warm welcome. :D

Great job Steve!

1 lbs off. 0.5 lbs above target. Fine with me. ;)

1 pound off for me. Back to my pre-Christmas weight. ;)

Surely half of that must be water retention?!

Will see what the scales say tomorrow. I've not over eaten or over snacked since Wednesday last week. Any new gains should be either water or muscle. Would prefer to have stayed the same or lost 1 pound.

Maybe a star week?

First week in a while where I have no idea what weigh in will look like.

Ugh! That's awful. I've started helping my consultant with the little "shop" and with taking the money. Sometimes I jump in on the weigh ins, too. I really enjoy helping out.

Jo, has your consultant really said that to you? If she has, she should be looking for a new job. :(

Hey Dude. Totally acceptable and understandable. Sometimes life just gets in the way of our online activities. ;) I'm not on here as often anymore either. Sorry.

What on earth? Glorious! Skinny Soup New England Butternut Squash has 10 syns????? Why? There is hardly anything in there?

2 pound gain since last weigh in 2 weeks ago. 1.5 pounds above target. Still within target range.

I've reduced my target once so far. May have to do it one more time.

I think I may have gained 2 pounds. But still within target range. Will face reality at weigh in tonight.

Lost half an inch around my waist since 18/12/2011. It is 33.5 inch now. Fitting into 30 and 32 Jeans though. Lol.. Also lost almost a full 1 % body fat, gone from 13.1 % in December to 12.4 % tonight.

Will I ever be able to eat without too much thought about it again? I hate that I seem soooo conscious of every aspect of my nutrition now. Argh.

Good night all.

My food is usually random. Hehe...

Super free stir fry: Loads of vegetables... 90g of extra lean bacon (3 rashers), 1 large egg, 250g of brussel sprouts, 340g of mushroom stir fry mix Would serve two. Or one hard exercising hungry man like me.

I'm with u on this. But only just started maintaining.

HDR effect I guess. ;-)

I got rid of all left over Christmas treats on Thursday. Donated them to the office snack box. ;) No booze in my cupboards either. Have been 100 % with very little syns since Thursday, after my first absolutely wild and bad face stuffing night in 2.5 years. But there was still a percentage of...

Some new pics for the ladies. ;)

Thanks for the last two entries. Really encouraged me. Needed that after my first no care night out last night. I documented it all in my food diary and it was not pretty. :-( But back to plan for the remaining week and I should be fine.

No but 4 new 1 hour sessions with PT. worse than boot camp. Lol

Right ladies... Order or I'll have the thread cleared and u all in cuffs. Uh, no that sounded wrong. Hehehe

This last week has been my first official maintenance week since reaching the new lower target. I've not really been on any SW plan. Just ate sensibly and didn't have any alcohol. But quite a few sweets and snacks in between. If I'd counted syns, I'd be over my 105 a week. Definitely. But I...

Well done on your loss. Close to half a stone. :-D Great! That shows that sticking with it usually pays off.

2 pounds off for me this week. 0.5 pounds under my new target.

Well done!!! :-D

What am I doing? Off sick as not well this morning. Better in the afternoon. 2 hrs slow walk... Uhm? What? No need! Didn't want lose tonight. And I have no appetite today either. Weird!

I've also just had my target reduced from 14 st 13lbs to 14 st 3lbs... 9.5lbs below target before Christmas. According to parents' scale in Germany I had gained 6lbs over Crimbo. But last week's weigh just showed a 1lbs gain. Weighed myself on Wii today and looks like Wednesday is another loss...

Been to the gym on Saturday. Signed up for Boot Camp session early this morning. But my body wanted sleep. So I got up, cancelled it and went back to sleep. Lol So far no motivation to go to gym today. So I'll go for a walk instead.

I stand corrected. Sorry. ;-)

Best news from visit to group yesterday: The majority of Müller Light yogurts are back to being Syn free!!! Check them on the Syn tool online or in the new directory. As in the past, only the cheesecake variety and the one with a cherry fruit layer have a (very low) syn value again. :-D

There is a new Club 10 incentive. Reach your Club 10 (losing 10 % of you start weight), keep it off for 10 weeks or lose even more and you'll get the 11th week free! Also the HE allowance on skimmed milk has gone up to 375 ml from 350 ml! Could mean an additional cuppa coffee or tea with milk...

Well done all who've had losses. For this with gains; this isn't the time to give up. It is time to look at the new book as if you've just started SW and go back to basics. Try something new, new recipes or even a new exercise activity. Surprise your body, it'll literally work wonders...

Reset my target to 199 lbs from previously 209 lbs. So still got 1.5 lbs to lose. Just want to be below 200 lbs for. Happy to lose more. ;-)

Don't be disheartened. Stay with it and you'll see next week will be fine & a loss.

Wednesday indeed. Was 199.5 pounds before Christmas. 208 pounds on parent's scale in Germany. 202 pounds on Monday and now 200.5 pounds. VERY HAPPY!!!

Wednesday indeed. Was 199.5 pounds before Christmas. 208 pounds on parent's scale in Germany. 202 pounds on Monday and now 200.5 pounds. VERY HAPPY!!!

1 hour to go. Will keep updated. ;-)

Weigh in in about an hour. Will keep you updated. ;-)

Thank you. ;-)

Great news! Massive congrats!!!

You can. Takes time & patience with yourself. Set yourself small, realistic goals. I also found investing money into 4 sessions with a personal trainer was well worth every penny.

Amongst other things, yes. ;-)

Gym locker room snap from tonight. ;-)

Appears like I've lost 3 pounds of my Christmas gain already... But saying that, it is late morning. Could be different tonight. But I won't weigh until Wednesday now.

May I take this opportunity to wish all of You & Yours God's very best in 2012. May You prosper & be in health even as Your soul prospers. Yours Tom

Almost syn free shopping. Müller Light yogurts on offer at Morrison's. 10 for £2!

Had 3 Vanilla Muller Lights with warmed up rhubarb. 3 bananas in the afternoon. Lots of water and Pepsi Max

Should have taken lunch from home. Only grease paradise in canteen. :-(

Yes, iPhone 4. It failed once and I tried again straight after and it was fine since.

Mine worked fine this morning.

My morning snacks today: Going to mix a bit of Splenda to both and voila, perfect! Syn free, speed food in the fruit and good source of protein in the Greek yoghurt...

Same to you! What a lovely picture.

Smashed it. Proud of myself that I didn't leave my next gym visit until the new year. ;-) On my way to losing that Christmas gain and an additional 3 lbs, bringing me to 196 lbs.

Protein rich healthy breakfast of oats (HE) and fat free Quark. Off to the gym now. Looking forward to smashing last workout of 2011.

It was spent on a sugar free jelly. ;-) yummy

1/2 a syn so far today. ;-) tomorrow will be another success. Bam!

I agree and will go for it! Syn free since lunch yesterday.

Planks are fine. However, shouldn't just focus on your abs/stomach area though. Tons of abs exercises will firm your abdominal muscles, but don't leave out exercises for other muscle groups. Train your entire core and other muscle groups. And make sure you give your body a bit of a shock by...

Resignation is never a good thing. A bit of toning will do most of us good.

And overall increase of muscle mass / definition. Also often referred to as toning. I don't see surgery as an option either as I can't afford it and find scars worse than loose skin. I've been told that up until 40 the skin is quite flexible and tightening it through toning should work...

I'd have to be 184 lbs. Due to large amount of lean body mass (muscle, bones, water) my PT has suggested I wouldn't try losing so much weight as I would lose muscle mass. Instead my goal for Summer 2012 is 9 % body fat. I'm at 13.1 % now. (before Christmas) Was 13.8 % when I started gym in Nov...

I've had nothing but free stuff since lunch today. 400g of lean cooked turkey over lunch and afternoon. 100g extra lean ham for dinner. 0% Greek yoghurt and M&S Sizzling fruit salad as a treat. Lots of water & a little Pepsi Maxx

You can do it. We'll do this together. I'm motivated to get my gain off asap as well. I never imagined it would be so much so quickly. Scary.

I'm in the East of Germany. Dresden, Saxony, where they celebrate a very traditional Christmas which is nice, but with loads of fatty & sweet foods...! Looks like a 5 to 7 lbs gain. Still 3 lbs below my original target. Wanted to correct it down to the lower weight but purposely waited until...

Oats so simple disappeared? Noooo!

No official weigh in until next week. Scale at my parents' says I've gained 6 pounds since Wednesday last week! I'd think that's impossible... I had treats in moderation and exercised intensely 3 times within the last week. :-( But as soon as I'm home it'll be a damage control week... See what...

I've recently read from excerpts of a new study that for the more active amongst us fluctuations of 5 to 10 lbs throughout a week are very much normal.

I won't weight Wednesday this week as I'm still on holiday. If I would have a weigh in, I'd probably have a gain of anything between 2 and 4 pounds. But I'm not sure. Will weigh myself at my parent's house on Wednesay night and check.

Season greetings to u all from SW enemy camp in Germany. I'm a skinny wannabe celebrity, get me out of here!!!!

I know, I know... I never used to weigh myself twice a day and shouldn't start now. But my parents have scales and I'm on holiday at their place. So I gave into the temptation. And oh my life! I'll stop doing that now. Fluctuations of up to 3 kg in the last 4 days. Crazy. But I remain about 2...

So far Germany has done no damage. Maintaining my weight well.

I'll probably have to move my target after Christmas. But I'm careful enough to wait until after Christmas, just in case. LOL ...

Thank you. Well done on your achievements, too!

Thank you. Same to you and everyone here! I'm on my way to spend Christmas with the family back in Germany.

Thank you for your very encouraging feedback. Just the right words to get me into the holiday mood. ;-) I'm sure you'll look great. It took me almost 3 years. Started losing weight in March 2009. Slow, but steady and never on a diet. Healthy eating and exercise as well as a weekly treat day (in...

Well, tonight's weigh in was a positive surprise. Lost a further 3 pounds. Total loss of 142 pounds or 10 stone 2 pounds now. My weight has gone below 200 pounds for the first time. Now 199.5 pounds or 14 stone 3.5 pounds. Will see what I'll weigh after Christmas, lol.

Well, I certainly hope so. ;-)

Managed to exercise 4 days at the gym and walking outside since last Wednesday. But also had a few more treats than usual. We shall see what the scales shout tonight...

Welcome here and well done on your first week. We are here to support each other. No one is pointing fingers. That's what I love about SW and this forum. The whole thing seems to be based around finding a positive body image and around encouraging each other. ;-)

Another great workout with my PT behind me. Now I know 4 good varied routines. Wish I had a gym buddy. They don't charge you for the hour. Lol Will hopefully eventually find someone to go with me. Really enjoyed the gym since the 17/11/2011 now. And I can already see some great toning results.

Yet another week where I can't predict what the result will be. I'd love to get another Pound off. But would also not mind a STS. Just don't like a gain ...

Coming up to Christmas. Christmas buffet lunch in work today. Banoffee cake made by colleague's wife who does SW, too. 9 syns per slice. But also had a few profiteroles. :eek: Other than that I stuck to my home made syn free turkey meatballs. :rolleyes: This week as gone out of the window a...

Changed the title, thanks to your handy tips. Cheers! Have a peaceful and joyful Christmas. Endulge in moderation. Don't forget to exercise a little.

2.5 pounds off for me. Well happy.

Another 2.5 pounds lost tonight. And that despite some more and more visible muscle growth in recent weeks. When I go back to Germany next week to surprise my Mom for Christmas, I'll have to assure her I'm not disappearing. I'm merely changing shape. ;-)

Mind if I join you guys? I've reached target a few weeks ago, but keep losing, so I'll just have to adjust my target as I'm not too worried about further losses. Another 3 or 3.5 lbs and I've got a total loss of 10 stone, which would be a nice round figure. I'm also gaining / growing muscle...

Managed to stay very sensible with my food since Saturday and before Saturday night as well. Have also been at the Gym Monday, Tuesday and this morning. So I'm hoping tonight's weigh in will be a further loss or an STS.

Nice flowers. :p

The boy has barely gone through his puberty yet and you want to class him as middle aged. Ts, ts, ts. Jealousy is what I call that. :D

Kinda don't know what to expect from Wednesday. Have not been naughty, but not 100 % either. Expect nothing huge. Neither in the gains nor the loss section.

No reply. :-( What a shame...

Praying for a quick recovery. Blessings! Tom

2 years and 9 months of slow steady weight loss of between 0.5 and 4 pounds a week (average 1.4 pounds). Not a constant loss. Had a few minor gains in between. Never more than 3 pounds though. First thing is determination. Realistic goals that you constantly renew once you got there. Learn to...

That made me smile.

Taken during last night's Slimming World Christmas party. Shame the ladies showed no interest. Was a bit of a loner last night except for one dance with a granny lol. Btw. I'd love to change the title of this thread. Way past 7 stones now. Hehe

Hey ColJack. Thanks for your reply. No gay vibes coming across, so please don't worry. And I'm so sure about my own heterosexuality, that I don't need to joke about gay men or belittle them (anymore). Working in a call centre I have quite a few openly gay colleagues and don't treat them any...

And bad fashion taste as well... Another shocker from 2008 Autumn 2008 Christmas 2008 Gym effort starting to show. December 2011 Figure hugging junky knit hoody. Loving life! December 2011 Closer to 10 stone loss now. Few pounds left!

A work colleague brought in a new shirt in M with tags and all into work today and gave it to me for free. Loving it and will wear it for the SW Christmas party on the weekend. Won't have to go out and buy a shirt now. Great! :D

Lost a further pound this week and I'm now 4 pounds below my target. New target will see me lose a further 3 pounds, hopefully before Christmas.

Cheers guys! Thanks guys. Maximus, you're not greedy. You're just doing great and continue to do so. Step by step realistic goals that are achievable have been the "secret" of my success so far. And celebrating every interim target without giving myself a food treat. I went clothes shopping or...

Greetings from a fellow German SW "loser" ... I'm originally from Dresden, East Germany and have been living in Barry, South Wales (Gavin & Stacey town, LOL) since July 2007. Just thought I'd say hi. Cheers Tom

Maximus! Congrats I just realised how much weight you've lost in the recent weeks and months. Congratulations! I'm at target, too. But I'm thinking about lowering it again as I'm not far off a total loss of 10 stone and that would be a nice number. How is maintenance treating you? I can't...

Over the last two weeks I lost a further 4.5 pounds and gained 1.5 pounds this week. So I'm 3 pounds below my target at the moment. I'm only 4 pounds away from a 10 stone loss, so I will try and get there now. LOL Maintaining? Hard work. Losing more? Appears easier at the minute...

At target now. Training at the gym to get rid of excess skin around belly. Great fun, but may have to lower target as I keep losing...

After a half a pound gain last week I have now lost 2 pounds this week. Well happy, especially since I felt all bloated, yes fat for 3 days before the weigh in. Weird.

Gained half a pound. Not worried at all.

Will be my first weigh in on target tonight. I suspect I've still lost as I've been on scales on Monday and had lost 2 pounds.

Thanks for all the congrats. Out clothes shopping indeed. Jeans, track suit bottoms, t-shirts all size S now. My tops used to be between 4XL and 5XL and jeans waist at 52 to 54 at my biggest. Now 30 or 32 depending on the cut. SCARY, but great. Took an M T-Shirt out of the cupboard today. It...

I'm happy to confirm that I've reached target last Wednesday with a 2 lbs loss.

Stayed the same last week after holiday in Scotland. Gained 1 pound this week. A little gutted, but not too worried.

No weigh in for me today. I'm on holiday from tonight.

December 2008 September 2011 Total weight loss so far: 9 stone 5.5 pounds

Thank you guys!!! Most recent image. Before pic from end of 2008

I've started my journey at over 24 stone in March 2009. Now I'm 9 stone 5.5 pounds lighter. 4 stone of that lost with SW since October 2010. It is possible! December 2008 September 2011

Reached exactly 15 stone last Wednesday. Want to go to 14 stone 10 pounds for now. Not far to go. Total loss so far...: 9 stone 5.5 pounds

You'll find ever 7 pounds may be another major change in some of your body parts. That's how it felt for me. I lost 9 stone 5.5 pounds in the last 2.5 years. A further 4 pounds to lose for now. Most recent losses showed the most dramatic changes in the look of my body and my clothes sizes...

3 pound off this week. Phew! Great!

I don't want to admit to having expectations for tonight. Just in case...

Hey Stoo, as you can see from my post further up. I can imagine how you may feel. Have you tried changing the type of exercise you're doing and maybe adding to it's intensity and the time you're doing it?

Fed up, frustrated, disappointed. In need of a few hugs. The last 6 weeks have been a bit of a nightmare. Alltogether I have really only lost 2.5 pounds, even though I had large losses in between, I've also had minor gains. I've kept an overly acurate food diary for the last 5 weeks, using...

3 lbs off for me this week. This should have been my target. But I decided to lower it again. ;-)

Was this your first week with quite a bit of exercise? Could be that you surprised your muscles with the sudden increased usage. When muscles get used quite a bit, they start retaining more water, which temporarily increases your weight. Continue your regular exercise. Make sure you don't have...

Looking promising so far...

Check my album for new before and after pics.

Lost 4.5 pounds this week. 7.5 pounds to go to target.

So, after keeping a slightly obsessive food diary with the help of DailyBurn this week, I'm hoping I've lost at least the 2.5 pounds I've gained last week.

No big loss. A 2.5 lbs gain it was. It has been up & down a bit recently.

Hey Mandy, just wanted to say hi. Saw your posts and wanted to encourage you to keep going. I've lost 37 % of my weight so far and it hasn't been a walk in the park, but I've also not struggled too much, thanks to the support from God and friends.

Haven't weighed last week, been really good with two exceptions in the last 2 weeks. Big hiking session last night, so I'm hoping for a good result tomorrow night.

It would be more accurate than the scales at home, yes. But all of these methods share a degree of possible errors. Only a full body scan and several other expensive and time wasting procedure would actually give you a 100 % result the weight of various types of body mass. But if you're happy...

Most Gyms do now, yes. They'll charge you a fee usually between £5 and £15 if you're not a member, though. They basically attach different parts of your body to a machine and let a safe electric current flow through your body. Depending on the kind of resistance this current faces, the machine...

Haven't actually exercised that much. I've increased my walking bit by bit and added cycling and swimming over the years. Trying to do at least 30 mins every day. Sometimes more. But in no way excessive. I've recently bought myself a body weight strength training book (you are your own gym)...

That's an old pic of me at the end of 2008

Just to update you all, I've no officially lost over 9 stone and I'm well pleased. 10 lbs to go to my new interim target of 14 stone 10 lbs. Probably keep at that for now as my original target of 13 stone 2 lbs doesn't seem achievable after a body test at the gym revealed that 12 stone 7 lbs...

I lost 3 pounds this week, after a 2.5 pounds gain last week. 5 pounds away from target. BUT my friend Andrew that I brought along last week, lost an unbelievable 11.5 pounds after his first week!!!!!!

2.5 lbs gain for me this week. Guessing two all you can eat buffets with one being cheap and cheerful 'crap' and the other Sushi didn't help last week. 100% this week. 8.5 lbs to target. 4 weeks I set myself!

Warm welcome from me as well! :party0038:

Thanks for all your congratulations. Your support has always been great. I will still here even at target and might actually lower my target again. We shall see. Bought this book this week. Should arrive on the weekend. It'll hopefully help me to tone up a bit and get the even sexier body I'm...

Lost 3 pounds (total loss of 8 stone 10 pounds) and have 6 pounds to go to reach target.

I've got about 8 syns left until Wednesday. Struggling a little as I'm aware I've only got 9 lbs left to target. Haven't counted syns for 3 weeks. But after I had gained 1.5 lbs last Wednesday, I've gone straight back to basics. But still a bit complacent. I guess after 2 years and 4 months of...

Ended up eating all 5 throughout the day in the office today. Whoops. But they are SS food and free. :flirt2:

Found 250g punnets of cherries for £0.90 in the corner store next to my office. Have already finished two of them and bought three more. LOL

1.5 pound on for me this week, but I'm not worried. Will be off next week.

I haven't got a particular team I support. I just like Rugby in general. And I do play with the idea of playing myself, even though I fear that at 30 I may be a bit old to join a team?! To be honest, that ticker theme was the only "manly" version of the ticker I could find, that is why I went...

You can tell the weather has been nice. No one has posted anything on here for 4 days.

Lost 2 pounds after 9 days holiday in Germany and a week without counting any syns. Well happy. Also had a body test done in the gym and found out that I've got 16.9 % body fat percentage now. Gym instructor cautioned me on my original goal weight of 184 lbs. Even though it is reachable, he said...

Dresden in the East of Germany. The former GDR part.

On holiday in Germany this week and next week. Next weigh in comes in 3 weeks time. Hoping for a loss despite the holiday.

Thanks guys!

Total loss so far: 8 stone 5.5 lbs

So I'm 15 st 12.5 lbs now. It keeps coming off. Interim goal no 3 is 14 st 5 lbs. PAT is 13 stone 2 lbs but I'm not sure if I'll go all the. Looking pretty thin already, just got some good amount of muscle mass, too. Don't want to end up looking like I'm ill.

Half a pound off for me. Expected a STS, so I'm happy with that. No off on holiday to the land of cheap fruit and vegetables. GERMANY. Hahaha

Had to borrow some money today. But only purchased some fruit and vege with it. ;-) expecting STS tomorrow

Wii told me I stayed the same when I weighed myself after lunch today. Usually don't weigh myself before the actual weigh in day. But I wanted to check after the naughty Friday night. Much can't go wrong until Wednesday. No money and only eggs, pasta, rice and mushrooms left in cupboards and fridge.

So I'm at 15 stone 13 pounds .... Goal weight is 13 stone 2 pounds. But for now it would be nice to get to 14 stone 5 pounds. When I started I was round about 24 stone 8 pounds.

Reached 15 stone 13 pounds last week.

Where did you get the marshmallows from? They sound great.

Bring on next Wednesday. I'm expecting a gain or STS after tonight. I'm a volunteer youth worker and we're having a 'stay awake'. And unfortunately, youth don't really eat healthy. So far I had ice cream, marshmellows, squirty cream, bisquits, small sweets and chocolate. All in moderation, but...

Actually realised that I've reached another Mini Target which I set in November 2010. Reaching 15 st 13 lbs.

Lost 2 pounds this week. Expected more. But it is a loss.

After two evenings of cycling home from work (11 miles Monday and 14 miles Tuesday), I'm hoping for a better result this week. Stayed on plan all week. 100 %

At 16 st 1 pound since last Wednesday. (Put 1lbs on, not sure where from.) Have added lots of body magic (used the new bycicle on off road and on road adventures and walking) and stayed 100 % since then. So I hope I'll be in the 15 st area this coming Wednesday. But really I want the remaining...

Just wanted to say hi and encourage you with my loss so far. 116 lbs lost, 41 lbs to go. It is possible!

Not in one week, of course. LOL

Gained 1 pound but I'm expecting a great loss next week. Come one great big 41 lbs ... Just get off me! PLEASE! Arrrgh!

2 lbs loss this week, despite an indulgant birthday weekend. well chuffed

Lost one pound, despite a weekend away in Germany. And I got voted Man of the year 2011 for my local group. Total weight loss 8 stone 6 pounds and I'll consider entering the national competition.

Oh no! Well, hope he'll have that off next week. I'm trying to stay away from alcohol as much as I can. But I've never been a big drinker. So it's probably easier for me. Magazine? Well, I'll enter the Man of the Year competition and I want to win it to be honest. I mean £5000? Oh yes, please!

Glad he is ok. Your son is more important than one weeks weigh in. And if you're absolutely desperate to go to group you could always check if there is one on another day in your area, couldn't you?

So, to my surprise I've lost a further 2 pounds tonight. Total loss now 8 stone 2 pounds. Another 26 pounds to go to my next interim target. Whoop, whoop.

Hi, thanks! It's not that I don't do any exercise. I walk a lot already. I just can't really be bother to do more. ;-)

I have no idea what to expect today. If I stayed the same, I'll be happy. If I've gained, I'll not be so happy and if I've had a loss, I'd be very cheerful. Sorry, but I'm just not fully in this at the moment. Have gone a little off plan by about 10 syns this week. The end of the world! LOL I...

Stayed the same this week. Expecting a loss next week. ;-)

A warm welcome to Jen and ffynnon. Good luck with SW from me as well.

To be fair, I just realised the size of them is bigger. Earlier someone mentioned 125g and now they are 180g

They are now 2 syns according to the Syns Online tool on the SW website! I find many items have in fact gone up by half a syn recently!

Nom de-light yoghurts are evil! Fat free yoghurt, yes. But with a hell of a lot of sugar in them. Just realised they aren't free on Slimming World, but 2 syns!!! No wonder my weight loss slowed down.

Feeling bloated and fat today. Not sure how big a loss it'll be tomorrow. Had enough! Want to be at target. Haven't gone off the rails. Opposite is true. Went right back to basics which gave me a 4 pounds loss last week.

@Maximus, the target was set via the BMI, yes.

Both of my legs are in one trouser leg of my old Court Jeans that used to fit me rather tightly. Haha! And the loss is exactly 8 stone now

I'm happy to announce that I've now lost a total of 8 stone, latest weigh in was yesterday. Well chuffed!

Have just given myself a new interim target of 14 St 5 lbs. That's 2 stone down from now and 1 stone 3 lbs above my actual target. Once I'm there I'll check what I feel and look like and may change this to my final target. It would mean a total loss of 10 stone. I think that's already a...

Well it wasn't quite the 16 st 3 lbs ... but my own fault for weighing in my birthday suit. 16 st 5lbs it was.... 4 lbs down and with that I'm at a total of 8 stone.... whoop, whoop

If my Wii Fit is right, I'm down to 16 st 3 lbs .... I was 16 st 9 lbs last week. How much do clothes roughly weigh?

1 lbs off for me this week, was desperate for a loss.

After STS last week, I'm hoping for at least some form of a loss.

The 12 for £2 offer is back and valid until 17/04/2011 !!! Now more choice then ever...

I've stayed the same this week. A week of only 10 to 12 syns a day, exercised 4 out of 7 days, had a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. 100 % on plan and no loss? Doesn't help to hear stories how various mothers had all their chocolates and still managed to lose between 4 and 4.5 pounds.

Officially wearing 32 inch jeans since Saturday, whoop whopp

Thank you for your kind replies. I will see how it goes. Will definitely continue to lose weight until the end of June and see what result I'll have by then.

So I've used this tool to find my Waist-to-Height-Ratio and followed this up by reading this article about this topic. My current BMI is 31.7, which still classes me as 'Obese' ... Now do I look obese to you? And I'm not trying to earn some attention or compliments here, this is a serious...

New comparison picture, most recent entry under "Me before and after 7 st loss" Haven't been on here for a while. Life has been busy. Sorry guys and girls. Had 2 minor gains in between, one for 4 lbs about 6 weeks ago and one for 1.5 lbs last week. 3lbs off this week. New weight is 16st 10...

And the weightloss journey continues. Here is an up to date comparison. :D Now 32 inch waist, used to be 52 inch. I don't understand my body, though. Do I look 16st 10lbs? I don't think I do and how can I have a 32 inch waist with still being classed as 'mildly' obese on the BMI? (I'm 6ft tall)...

Thank you! I'm hoping so. :cry: ;)

Well, who would have guessed that? After a week of mostly being in bed but not slipping off the plan - more likely not eaten enough - I've gained 4 pounds. Not nice. As if being unwell isn't bad enough. Thanks for nothing. :-(
