1st weigh in after basically taking December off, and I've lost 5.5 lbs! Feeling slightly stunned, I've not lost this much since my first week on the plan, which was last January! I guess having had a month off plan, it's a bit like a first week again - but still, am a bit stunned, and worried...

I have the greediest cat in the world - she will steal anything left out in the kitchen, from obvious things like licking gravy off plates or yoghurt from pots, but through to crisps, bread, and most recently chewing the christmas cake! Amazingly she's slim and healthy, but she's only 18 months...

My sister has a wii fit and uses it everyday, she had a knee injury 18 months ago & was put on a program of walking exercise by her physio - she had some game where you were a majorette in a marching band and had to march on the spot while twiddling your controller to throw your baton in the...

I have the iPhone app, use it all the time since I discovered it! So much so that I keep using up all my battery life!

Haha, it's good to know everyones the same! I wear the same sort of thing every week, leggings & light top. I get weighed in the evening so try and eat a very light lunch & wait till afterwards for my tea - I usually put a casserole or a curry in the oven for after because I know I will be STARVING!

0.75 lbs is a v good start, and I've seen quite a few people have a small loss on their 1st week & a bigger one the week after - so congratulations, keep positive, and have a great 2nd week! x

Congratulations on your first week! x

I work a split shift, so usually have my lunch at about 3pm when I get home (back at work at 5pm - 7.30 pm tonight). So I'm lucky in that i can cook if I want to. Today I've had grilled extra-lean bacon, fried mushrooms and tomatoes, and baked beans - sort of a mid-afternoon cooked...

I try not to, because I think it's counterproductive - it doesn't tend to affect my weight loss, but I think it reinforces the idea in my head that SW is a "diet" i.e. to be followed for now, but not for life - rather than what I want it to be, which is a new healthy lifestyle. That said, I tend...

Chicken, butternut squash and red pepper casserole (made up recipe but yummy and almost syn free) with baked potato and broccolli. Nom nom nom...

Off to the boyfriend's parents for tea tonight, nom nom nom... So it will be a roast dinner, avoiding the roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings (if she's doing them) and not too much gravy :-)

Slimming world app for iPhone? There was a survey about this on the website a while ago. Does anyone know if it's definitely being developed? It would be so useful!

I lost 7.5 lbs in my first week - but it was the 1st week in January last year, and I had an absolute pig-out the day before my 1st meeting, so am sure some of that 7.5 lbs was just mince pies! ;-) Everyone is different - I even know one lady who had a small gain in her 1st week but then a big...

Hi all, I just was wondering what inspired people to start losing weight? Hoping for some extra inspiration! Mine were: a big group villa holiday last August with a bunch of skinny minny friends (I joined SW last Jan and lost 2 stone before my hol!), discovering size 16s no longer fitted me...

Wow! You look amazing! Congratulations!

People started noticing after about 2 stone - a drop from a dress size 18 to 14 - and got loads of compliments, especially from people who had only known me bigger. Also started noticing "glances" from men again, which I haven't had for years - I know I shouldn't care, am totally happy with my...

I hadn't thought about this! There's lots of things I want to be at target for - a big holiday in a years time, a friends wedding in October - but no specific treat. Maybe a shopping spree or something I guess?

There is nothing wrong with going back for seconds if it's syn free! Trust the plan - its free food for a reason and it does work. And don't worry about the syns, it's a rare week if I don't go over syns on one day, and so long as I stay on plan for the rest of the week it usually seems to be...

I leave my cat for a similar time to you occasionally, and she is fine. My main problem with her is that she is completely greedy and will eat all her food in one sitting and then be sick if we let her, also will raid the kitchen for anything she can get hold of (Christmas cake most recently!)...

Congratulations! Hope you have a great 2nd week!

Good idea! I guess mine would be 1) not letting yourself get too hungry - obviously, being hungry before a meal is healthy, but not feeling constantly starving - that leads straight to the biscuit tin. Free food is there for a reason. Eat it. 2) I try not to "waste" my syns on meals apart from...

That's all :-)

Beef ramen noodle soup out of the SW magazine - I was going to make a stir fry but then I remembered that, soupy spicy noodley yumminess in a bowl (I hope!). Then a banana chopped up with a toffee muller light,, 2 chocs out the Christmas stash that my boyfriend is keeping guarded from me, and a...

I try to make a 1/3 of every meal super free, but some meals lend themselves more easily to this than others. I can't ways stick to it 100%, but it doesn't seem to affect me too badly. Re snacks : I try to have big, filling, free food meals, and not snack, or have fruit if i want something...

I think special k also has added sugar, if you read the box, and is too low fibre to be a healthy extra. The best think about this plan is that you can eat, eat, eat! And if you cook from scratch, sticking to free foods (which is pretty easy on extra easy), you can have as much as you like! So...

That doesn't sound enough to me, I would be falling over by 3pm with hunger if that's all I'd eaten all morning! Try some porridge or cereal for breakfast (I usually have weetabix crunchy bran, mostly because you're allowed 42g instead of 28g like most other cereals, and I'm always starving in...

Hi everyone, This is my 1st post, although I've been reading the forum for a while for inspiration. I'm a 30 year old slimming world member, I've lost 2 stone so far, over the last year (it was 2st 7 but I had a fun Christmas!) and have about another 2 stone to go until target. Here's to a...
