Go to your local market for fruit and veggies, they tend to be cheaper than the supermarket.

No takeaway for a year, you really deserved it!

Just over 5 years ago I weighed 13 stone 10 and I'd say most of that was from the waist down. I ended and unhealthy relationship and got my life back. Over the next 2 years I got down to 11 stone 2 and looked really good for it. My weight has been up and down since, but on the up since July...

Thanks all, I'm pleased to report on day 5 that I am so much happier and so is my tum. I'm really enjoying SW and I feel much healthier. Actually looking forward to weigh in!!!

Some cherries whilst watching Biggest Loser on catch up.

Hi there It might sound silly, but I'd really recommend having a bit of a cross word with yourself. I'm a tad older than you at 28 and overweight. A few weeks before Xmas a persistent friend practically dragged me by the ear to a ballet class. Now, I've never done ballet in my life and am no...

Mine are: 1. Organise my finances and kick my shopping habit 2. Pass my driving test and save up for my own car (at the moment my partner and I share his car, but once I have my full licence I'll need my own). 3. Have a big clear out and eBay session 4. Organise my massive shoe collection, so...

Thanks Lucky 7, I feel a bit better today and hopefully when my tummy has forgiven me for the healthy choices it will get better.

Hi All I'm on my second day of SW and both days have been green days. Now I must admit over the past fess months I have eaten really badly and as I result am considerably bigger then I would like to be. Anyway, this evening I have particularly bad tummy ache and my IBS is very unhappy. Has...

Wowcher even

Wow her have the diet plates on offer today, I'm going to combine them with SW to make sure I don't get over excited with my portions.

Hi ladies I'm pleased to report that I lost 1lb this week, only half a pound under my half stone award. Jo x

It's mine and the other halfs anniversary today and he has cooked us a lovely SW meal, very happy Jo!

Hi everyone Not such a good week, I've gained half a pound, but I do deserve it, I've been poorly and haven't been on plan at all. Hopefully get it off next week Jo x

I've completely fallen off the wagon, it's rubbish :@(

I weighed last night and only lost half a pound, little bit disappointed, but think my period is to blame, hopefully I'll get a pound off next week to get my half a stone. Jo x

Well done everyone, another fantastic week. I'm a tad nervous about weigh in tonight, I've followed the plan all week, but it's period week, so lord knows if the scales will be kind or not. I'll let you know later Jo x

Don't be disheartened Val, you'll have that off next week and some more Jo x

Oh my God ladies, I am constantly starving this week, not good!!! My period is due soon, I think that is the culprit!

Ditto what Bellamy said, we're all doing fantastically. Slim 2011 here we come!! Jo x

Does anyone have a syn free onion bhaji recipe please? Thanks Jo x

My consultant rang me today to see how I'm getting on, never had that at a slimming class before. It has really spurred me on.

Of course you can join Danielle, the more the merrier. I have about 3 stone to lose as well. My sister is getting married in August, so I want to look good in a nice dress.

5lbs that's fantastic, well done Valerie!!

Wow old boiler, that's fantastic! I had a pants day at work too, but just about managed to resist the junk food that had been brought to work. I took loads of extra fruit and yogurt to tide me over at college and only needed 2 extra pieces of fruit. I'm having qourn lasagne in a minute with...

Today is going to be a hard one. I've got college straight after work, so won't get my dinner until about 10pm. I've took extra fruit and yogurt to work to hopefully keep me going. Doesn't help that I've had a really bad nights sleep thanks to the other half snoring his head off. He's so loud I...

Well first day on plan today and I've really enjoyed it. Even had plenty of sins for a WW mini roll!

You can do it Salsaqueen!! We can all do it together. Jo x

Well the official weight is 12 stone 12lbs, ouch! The only way is down.

Just got to my first class and 2 girls I went to school with are here. Both looking like they've lost lots of weight. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing.....

Well done oldboiler. That's fantastic. I join tonight, so will update on the official weight later. I'm very excited. Jo x

For me it really is about how I look in clothes, I'm very pear shaped, so buying dresses is a nightmare, I would just like to be a bit more normal and less like a weeble. I know for lots of people they want to lose weight for health reasons, for me its vanity and maybe I should be, but I'm not...

My other half has brought me a beautiful dress, it's a size 8 (gulp). It's quite a bit too small at the mo, but definitely an incentive to lose weight. Has anyone else got anything as their incentive? Jo x

Had my first unofficial weigh in of 2011 this morning and according to my scales I'm 12 stone 8 3/4 pounds. Joining SW on Tuesday and I can hardly wait. Jo x

Happy New Year everyone, let's make 2011 a slim one!!! Jo x

Looks like we have a little team going. Can everyone tell me when they're going to next get weighed Jo x

Hi salsa queen, I feel exactly the same, I first began dieting at 16 and was successful, but by the time I was 20 I'd got myself into an abusive relationship amd became the heaviest I've ever been. Luckily the relationship ended in 2006 but some of the weight remains. I want the excess gone...

Hi debtdummy Of course you can join, when do you weigh in? Jo x

Hi everyone thanks for replying to my thread. I'd better tell you a little bit about myself. I'm 27 and currently weigh in at about 12 1/2 stone. At my largest I was nearly 14 stone. In 2011 I want to lose 3 stone, but might adjust that as I go because I don't want to look like a lollipop lady...

Whoops put it on twice!

Hi Is anyone planning on joining SW in the new year and would like to start a team? I would like to lose about 3 stone in 2011 and for the first time in my adult life I'm losing weight just for me. Thanks Jo x

Thanks k8tb I finally managed to get on yesterday. First class will be on 4th Jan and to be honest, I can hardly wait. I just want to get started.

Very frustrating when you're trying to plan the 2011 slim down. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. Blooming Internet, can't live with it, can't live without it.

Hi everyone. Is anyone else having problems with the SW website? I want to check my nearest class ready for after Xmas and can't get it to work. Thanks Jo x
