You've made the first step - congrats. I hated the idea of group but I've joined a lovely one and they're very supportive. If you gain or maintain our consultant isn't one to shame but rather she'll ask you if you know why it's happened and then if you enjoyed it ;) and help you plan for the...

If I find jeans that fit at the hip they are too big at the waist and I really really can't do low rise jeans (or any trousers). More than a couple times I've just added a new button and just do them up as a wrap over instead :D I have some that are size 26 and fit and some 28s that I can't even...

Thanks ladies and wtg DD :) Seeing others succeed is one of my biggest inspirations and motivators. Loving being able to go swimming. Ok so I'm slow and my technique is rubbish but I'm moving and it's having a big effect on my breathing. I've got some mini goals for swimming too. By the end of...

Had a maintain this week - better than a gain though ;) I started swimming yesterday morning and surprised myself - planned on 10 (25m) lengths and did 30. Another 24 this morning. Hubby's buying me a swim membership and I've joined the SW body magic challenge to swim the channel :D only...

I'm out :( Zero chance of getting near my target for the month as I had a STS this evening. That said I've been really tired this week and it's my ov week which is always a fat bloaty week for me. I get to swim in the mornings from tomorrow so hoping that Body Magic will give me a boost :)

:o 12 stone award - wtg S_J_B - I love knowing other people have succeeded in such huge losses - it means I'm not fighting an impossible battle so very well done and thank you.

Well, I'd been hoping to average 3.5lbs off per week but the last 2 weigh ins have each been 2lb off... But that's 2 off! This week I'd been baking for a friend's daughter's wedding. I also didn't get in as much speed foods as I should have and so I convinced myself that I had a gain this week...

Didn't pull the numbers I'd hoped for so far but given that I'd convinced myself that I had a gain this week and just weighed in to 2lbs off that 2 feels as good as 20 :) Nanny Doreen - Target 6lbs. - + 1/2 - 6.1/2 to go. lost 1. - 5.5lbs to go Fishface19 - 10lbs KG0904 -7lbs Iwillbeslim2015 -...

Only (only?) 2lb at 2nd weigh in but I did have a cinema blip 2 days before hand. Looking forward to next weigh in as I've managed not to blip this weekend :)

Thank you. I've got a lovely SW consultant and hubby is doing SW too which means I've got someone to share my "diet" food with (amazed at the lovely meals we've been able to have) and we're also quite competitive ;) so increased motivation. The accountability of being in a group is really...

It is very yummy. I've found the primula light in Tesco and Asda- haven't looked in Sainsbury's. Be careful using a different cheese as not all will be a HE. I've found there's a huge difference between Dairylea light and Laughing Cow. The D light triangles are smaller with more cals than the...

Yes, I'm doing SW. And so is my hubby - we're quite competitive (in a good way) so that increases the motivation :)

Thank you :)

Ouch! Hope you're healing from that abscess now. Positive thoughts for your weigh in.

Thank you. Yes :) I've got about a bazillion mini goals from each 7lb - each 10% - "that" pair of jeans and so on.

Thanks SL :) Now, may it continue... Well done PurplePen - my hubby got 6.5lbs too - it's a fabulous start.

Ah brill thanks - I didn't have any of that anyway - chilli, garlic, paprika, cumin and oregano went into mine.

Your pics are a real inspiration for me - and motivation because it's proof that it can be done - thank you.

Can't see your pics but well done on your losses :)

EE HExA - primula light - for SW Magazine recipe HExB - 2 Alpen light bars

Can't edit but obviously should be HExA not HExB for the primula light - oops :o

I picked up the latest copy of SW Magazine and the recipe for Nacho-Style Feast is made up of free and super free foods, and primula light (HExB) but then at the bottom says 1/2 syn per serving. I don't mind the 1/2 syn but I'm curious where it comes from - just in case it's something I should...

I love bread and to stop the "once I start" problem I freeze my 400g loaf and only take out my planned slices each day. I'm finding that SW suits my carb loving self - no carbs = a very emotional and unhappy Kia - I'm happy to "earn" my carbs by eating fruits and veggies though.

Fertility! I'm 36 which makes me "old". Either the shrinking me will help mother nature along or I'll get to under 28 BMI for IVF.

My first week weigh in dropped me from the 21s into the 20s so I'm here now aiming for the 19s :)

Yikes! Sounds crazy - the idea that I'm aiming to shed half myself - I'm not planning on "losing" the weight - I need to get rid of it and not find it again :) I'm not a restarter but a finally-getting-started. I have an official start weight of 21st 4.5lbs (I know I actually went up to 22st...

Having just joined Slimming World with an official start weight of 21st 4.5lbs and lost 7.5lbs this week I'm setting some mini goals :) I'll add more as I achieve the earlier ones. Under 21 stone - 28/4/15 Lose 7lbs - 28/4/15 Lose 1 stone Under 20 stone Lose 1.5 stone Final goal - bmi under 28

7.5lb my first week :)

Thank you for the linkies. Will take a look and have a good read.

First post so "hello!" I'm looking for an eating plan that both Hubby and I can follow. I'll be completely honest I'm a carb addict - I love carbs, so a very low carb diet isn't going to be one I can stick to for any length of time. I try to eat pretty low fat, have been taking Xenical for a...
