I love quorn mince! You know what tastes nicer though, morrisons meat free mince. Its cheaper and has more of a mince texture/taste. The biggest mistake I made and the hardest thing I found when starting SW was to not decide which day to have until lunchtime, cause I had NO IDEA what to eat...

I got fat because when I was around 14-15 I came across a website (pro anorexic) online and looking at the girls I thought.. I don't look like them, I must be fat. So I followed their tips and tricks and got down from around a size 10 to a size 4/6. After I left school I went to a college...

Jacxy, I tried sending you a private message but it wouldn't let me. How is the cambridge diet going? My friend is going on that at the end of the month, its a bit too expensive for me !!! And Mandy, well done on the 9lbs !

Thats fantastic !! You can do anything if you can pass that awful test. Hey, you only gained 3.5lbs over xmas, thats amazing. Loads of people in my class gained 6lbs+.

I am 5"7 and my target is 10 and a half stone, or 147lbs. Long way to go, but we can do it !!

Congratulations onpassing your driving test ! It is the hardest thing I have EVER done !! Was it your first test?

Blueberries are gorgeous .. mmm.... I have the same problem as you, so no tips, but just to let you know.... I feel your pain!!

I love SW, only because you can snack on as much fruit and veg as you like and with WW you have to count fruit as points, and in my head if I was going to use points I tended to use them on unhealthy things instead !!

Fruit and veg are free on SW so you are doing well by snacking on that, but you have to have your syns! I aim for around 10 syns a day, because I found that the weeks that I wasn't having my syns I either gained or stayed the same, and the weeks where I felt I had done nothing but eat I lost !!

Its all about you and your will power. I used to be borderline anorexic, which I then kind of progressed on to bulimic. I found that I grew out of it, but I still sometimes binge but its the willpower to say after I've binged, not to starve for the next two days, to accept it as a fact or a...

I want to feel comfortable naked. I want to be able to look in the mirror with no clothes on not avoid the mirror ! I want to be able to get changed/dressed in front of my partner without feeling disgusted with myself. I want to be able to say no to the bad foods.

You are so right, and you have done so well Sammy !! You are my inspiration for the day :-)

5 days is a definate good start !! Well done !!

Im not sure about what low cal beverage to have since your a beer guy, I know that vodka, lime and diet soda water is my tipple but its not very manly !! Haha. What about bud light? Good luck with your journey. I'm the same as you in terms of when its the night times that hurt the most ...

Well Im more inclined to stick with my nurses now, haha no wonder. No I didn't cause I don't usually stay for the class, my consultant is useless I've put in a complaint about her. They did have a problem with the scales this week so we all had to wait 20 mins to get weighed (dunno what the...

I hope your enthusiasm and will power rubs off on to me !! :-) Congratulations !!

Let me explain, I missed a week at SW, so was 9lbs down as of week 4, then week 5 missed, last week was week 6 and I was a bit worried (but felt like I had lost weight) so sneakily got the nurse to weigh me at work, on nurses scales.... 6lbs down ! Which would have meant 15lbs in total, which...

And spotty socks, thanks for the post, I read it fully and you can do it! The christmas period is a nightmare.

I lost 2 and a half pounds !! :-) Thats 7 and a half pounds loss so far, in 3 weeks (1 week obviously I didn't get weighed, probably a good thing haha). I feel so much better now Im in another 'stone' bracket, if you know what I mean. I've put my goal as 3lbs loss for next week, hopefully...

I can't not go to the classes cause I'm doing SW on referral from GP, and you can only miss 2 out of the 12 weeks - even if the classes are cancelled !! Stupid !! Well I will keep you updated and let you know :-) Thanks for the support, its really hard once you fall slightly off the band wagon...

I have completely gone off the wagon the past week, been doing slimming world for 3 weeks (on Thursday coming) and last week meeting was cancelled cause of the snow so I completely went off course. I've only had one weigh in and I lost 5lbs, but I am so scared cause I think Im going to have...

I loved Gillian Michaels 20 minute one. I'm sure it will work, and even if it doesn't help you lose weight you will certainly be fitter ! :-) Good luck xx

Oh no :-( I'm sorry you are feeling like that.. get back on track !! You can do it ! xx

I LOVE zumba ! They only have it once a week at my gym though on a Friday night, I need a fix mid week !! I usually wear just jogging bottoms/leggings, baggy t-shirt and flats (I dont wear trainers!) I probably should, I just hate the way they feel on my feet. Lol. Good luck for next week...

Thanks :-) Very true !! Just saw ur signature ur over the 3.5st barrier thats AMAZING... xx

I'm glad I've came here too !! I can't really talk to my friends about weight. They are pretty much all heavier than me bar one who is teeny tiny, and she is the only one I can talk to without her saying "you dont need to lose weight" and "dont be silly". I feel embarassed talking to most people...

This thread is hilarious but also really sad ! The most common I get from my family is "Dessert anyone? Well I dont need to ask you do I katie? You love dessert", or "what you need to do is walk more". I get 'healthy suggestions' from people like this all the time. Like... more often than not...

:mad: Just wanted to vent really, just been called fat by one of the clients that I work with.. obviously he didnt think I could hear which is even worse... Makes me feel like crap....

I'm a drugs worker during the day and work at a homelessness hostel for young people on a nighttime.. nightmare but trying to save for xmas !! Thanks for your advice :-) I've brought some carrot sticks, homous, sugarfree redbull and an alpen light in - got some sports mixture in the car...

What do you suggest for snacking on during the night, as I won't be sleeping during the day (I go from day shift, then have 2 hours sleep then to nightshift, then 2 hours sleep then to dayshift). I would usually snack on jellys or anything that doesnt have much fat but has loads of sugar, but...

Hi, So I joined the class last Thursday, and not sure where abouts to post this but could anyone at all look at my food diary and see if its okay? I really feel like I am not sticking properly to this, finding it all confusing. Wasn't really explained properly at the meeting just walked away...

I just joined last Thursday, and I guess you are going tonight so - good luck for tonight! I am finding it really difficult cause the consultant didnt really explain much, but its all in the books and the website is great ! xx

Thanks for the support everyone !! x

I would definately say go with the smallest kettlebells you can, if you are doing the exercises correctly after about 20 minutes your arms will ache lots with larger weights. I do kettlebell class at my local gym once a week and its hard ! Remember to keep a tight grip or they could go flying...

Thanks ! I'm getting the hang of it now..

Oh no :-( I'm sorry to hear that x

I so know how you feel. I do nightshift and day shift straight after eachother, and I can't get the hang of my eating patterns after them, I'm so hungry during nightshift and so knackered during the day that I end up eating so little !! I'm glad you have proved the point though !!x

Hi ! I'm new too :-) although I'm on slimming world not WW, tried WW before but felt like I had to eat far too much, felt sick half the time trying to shove down the amount of points they gave me. Anyway I'm more motivated now and it looks like you are too !! Good luck :-) I'm not used to forums...

Hi :p Just started slimming world last night, registered for this site a few days ago in preperation as I see a lot of members are on slimming world. First day today and as you can see I already need support !! I was hoping to do a food diary to see if the more experienced SWer's can tell me...

Hi ! I'm new too.. I'm finding the site confusing but hope I find some friends here to support me and vice versa :-) Good luck in your journey xx
