    Wow weigh in day soon comes around! Lost a pound this week which gives me a 10% loss overall so not too bad I suppose. I would’ve liked a bit more but struggling with tooth and ear pain and dosed up on painkillers. Hopefully get back to normal in a few days!

    Slim Fast Worked For Me

    For me, SW has always been my ‘go to’ diet. It’s always worked well and I’ve lost large amounts of weight but sadly regained much of it several times. I decided to try something completely different this time as I was struggling to lose anything at all on SW after going through the change. So...

    Hi @JaceT x congratulations on your steady loss. If you just ‘copy’ the most recent post on here and then ‘paste’ it in a new post. Then you can alter your stats before you post it. Does that make sense? I’m not too good at explaining these things!

    I shouldn't worry too much @JoIceFyre x If you've had a good week it'll probably show next week. I was disappointed with my loss last week as I felt it should've been more...but then a hefty 5lbs fell off me this week so I guess it just spread itself over the fortnight lol xx

    If there's no free food, I make it 15.5 syns for the total weight. If there is free food, it'll be a lot less. When it says there's a trace of something, I normally put it as 0.1 so it's just enough to register. No idea if this is the right thing to do or not but at least it gives a result lol xx
