    From 16's to 15's

    Weigh in tonight for me, and I'm hoping I'll be into the 15 stone something club, it's nerve wrecking though, I have come to fear WI! This will be WI number 44 for me, WI 43 saw a 5 Stone 2lbs loss, so I can't say it's not working, it's just that each week the losses are so marginal!

    Being honest and realistic - SW what are the chances?

    Why would you be disheartened with a 2lbs loss?? I'm doing slimming world and yes it is slow, but it does work and it's such a 2normal" way of eating that it doesn't feel like a diet at all once you get into the swing of it. I've lost 4stone since the last week of November at an average of...

    Bad day:-(

    Don't throw away your belief in being able to do this because of one bad day! Medication sucks and sometimes it does all sorts of weird things to us, but we can still lose weight. just forget the blip and look forward to a better evening meal. make sure you eat enough of the good stuff and you...

    Help slimming world disappointment

    It will depend on what you were eating before you joined too, if you were crash dieting or eating anything odd then it takes a while to adjust. I have lost 4 stone in six months on EE. It does work, but it is slow. I often lose 1/2 a lb but other weeks I might lose 2lbs and over the months they...

    Tv show This morning debate - new idea about doctors calling 'fat' instead of obese.

    i think obese is an awful word. It's also specific aand we all knows what it means. When I first entered the obese zone and I wen tto my doctor to discuss my weight gain, the GP said don't be silly, you look lovely! But the weigh carried on piling on and I found myself in the morbidly obese zone...

    Do you have PCOS?

    I'm feeling really down about my PCOS. I was diagnosed in 2002 after I had my second child (11th pregnancy) but the only solution they were interested in at that time was a hysterectomy, as I had contraindications for everything else. Being 25 at the time I just ran and skipped appointments and...

    struggling with extra easy

    i think you ought to try and go to a group though, even if it's just for a few weeks. I know it's expensive and difficult to fit in sometimes, but people do seem to do a lot better when they go. I intended to go along, get my book and run, but my consultant is invaluable and I wouldn't miss it now.

    struggling with extra easy

    EE is really good once you get into the swing of it, i have lost just over 4 stone and feel really fit and well on it too. You absolutly can mis your veg in with your meal, I add frozen cabbage to just about everything to boost the superfree.

The wedding is not what it's about. I loved my wedding day, every little detail was just so perfect for...

    I suddenly have my head full of other diets! HELP!

    I have been successfully losing weight with SW for 28 weeks. Steady progress with an average loss of 2lbs a week. I signed up to minimins at the start of my journey, but couldn't figure out how to use the site effectively, as you can't see much until you have 50 posts. So this week, having...

    where have you lost weight from

    I was gutted for ages, because I've always had an hourglass figure, even at 21+ stone I still had a very defined waist, and it started coming off everywhere but my waist, so i looked apple shaped for the first time in my life. I have to say, it almost made me want to stop, but it's levelling out...

    Nearly half myself to lose

    I started out with half my weight to lose, ideally! I've set my target a bit higher just because 10 stone sounded impossible when I started and 8 stone didn't. Six months in and I'm 4 stone down and happy to accept that I have six stoen to go, it soudns a lot more doable now than it did at the...

    Contemplating moving from SW to WW

    Gosh, I'm quite surprised at this thread, it seems to be very much in favour of WW! I think they all work if you stick to them and it's important to find the diet that most closely matches what you'd eat given free reign. I don't find SW restrictive in the slightest and still eat all my...

    Big losses - how?

    I don't get big losses, but am averaging 2lbs a week, over 28 weeks, so I think that's pretty good. It's a reasonable speed and it's all heading int he right direction. I do stick to plan 100% and I have taken up martial arts which I do twice a week, but I eat totally normally, large portions...

    What motivates you to be slim?

    I don't want my daughter to look at me and see her growing in to a fat person. She is slim and fit and fabulous and yet we look very alike, so I want to be slim and fit and fabulous so that she knows it's sustainable. She's 9 now, so I have to get a wriggle on before she hits puberty and starts...

    considering moving to weight watchers

    Don't do it! You know that you have issues with your hormeones and all and that will slow things down. Make sure you're on plan, stick with it and it will come off, even if it is a bit slower than some other people who don't have the medical issues that you do. Slimming World gives you freedom...

    A wedding can be amazing on a low budget. We got creative and did everything on £1400 including the rings. We had 160 guests and it was hard work, but I think we loved it more for all the work we put in! It was more magical than I could have imagined it would be, yours will be too. Just...

    Could it be my hormones??????

    I'm slow too, I've had hormond problems for years and my medications don't help, but if you are sticking to it, then it will come off. I sometimes get disheartened, but am playing the long game, and don't let a small loss or a gain put me off anymore. It's not about this week, it's about the...

    Do it! I joined in November, and was very sceptical, but have lost just over 4 stone and haven't had to go without anything! I'm eating all the time and eating food I love...not a salad in sight. it's just so easy to stick to the plan, because there is so much free food to chose from.

    struggling with extra easy

    Hi, I've been doing EE for 28 weeks and have got into the swing with it. The most important thing is to keep the superfree intake nice and high. Keep it simple, stress now and enjoy what you are eating! Onions and mushroom and pessata all count as super free, but they don't feel like they...
