Size 16. Oh yes, oh yes. It's been a good ten years since we last met.

Hi all, Not sure if this is me overreacting or not. I have a friend who I go to Slimming World group with. We've been friends for quite a while. She doesn't really need to lose that much weight (about 7 lbs) and I suspect she wanted to come along to support me, which was really nice of her...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your lovely words. They really helped me. First weigh in tonight - been on Slimming World a week and lost 8.5 pounds. I think I'm now what's known as back in the game!

My first week - lost 8.5 pounds! Am in total and utter shock.

Thanks again to everyone - i can't tell you all how much better your replies made me feel last night and earlier today. And I have another reason to feel happier - first weigh in today and I lost 8.5 pounds this week! In one week! Am so motivated now and soon those horrid pics will be...

I had that on my first day or so this week. I think it was probably my body reacting angrily to this weird non-grease-based food I was putting into my body because it's stopped now. I am still *ahem* visiting that room more often. Hope you feel better soon x

Oh yeah, they were detagged as fast as I could click the damn mouse! Why do people tag photos anyway? "Hey! Here's a photo I found of you looking like s**t! Thought you, and several hundred others, might like to see it!" Thanks to everyone for your lovely posts.

It does feel like an invasion - I know it's totally silly of me to say so when I'm voluntarily on FB but I like to be able to choose what photos my 'friends' see. I'm still determined to carry on with the plan. No running downstairs for a consoling plate of cheese for me! Just seems so daft...

I know it's utterly ridiculous seeing as I've been well aware of my size for years but sometimes something can just knock you right out when you're least expecting it. I've been on Slimming World for about a week now and was feeling really good about it. Had a bad day at work today (I'm a...

For me, the three worst that I can remember are: 1. From a normal sized (not super skinny, but just an attractive size 12) friend, upon seeing that I had lost a few pounds: "Wow, you'll be rivalling me when we go out soon!". Because, of course, that is my ONE goal in life. 2. Same friend and...

What ARE these SW chips that everyone keeps going on about? Must try. I agree with you about the 'oh noes, I've eaten a packet of crisps, therefore my diet is ruined, therefore I might as well eat more and start again next week' thing. Seriously. Been there. Done that. It's my subconscious...

Well done, amazing achievement!

Poor you, how horrible! Best wishes to your mum - I really hope she feels better very soon. Don't beat yourself up if you do relax on the diet this week - I think everyone would say it's completely understandable.

Thanks Julie, you too. I think the problem with calorie counting is psychological - I always feel deprived and it's a constant battle not to overeat. The good thing about SW is that you CAN eat as much free/superfree food as you want. It really makes me feel like there aren't any limits which...

Well done, what an incredible achievement. You must feel so proud of yourself!

Hi, OhToBeSlimmer. You sound like my doppelganger! I always fail too and every diet I start tends to feel doomed from the beginning. I'm feeling much more positive about SW because of the support element, not to mention how much more satisfied I feel by the food. We'll all support each...

Hiya, I'm new too and everyone seems lovely on here so I'm sure you won't feel like a newbie for long. This is my first time on any kind of plan. I was a bit apprehensive but seeing as my usual diet regime of religiously counting calories for two days before ordering Dominos wasn't exactly...

I always assumed a frittata was like a massively packed Spanish ommelette. I made one tonight actually, with peppers, potato and courgette in it. Twas lush.

I felt really sorry for him too. Jesus, when he started crying and apologising to his estranged sisters it nearly finished me!

Thanks all. I agree that I'm missing out on a HEXB. I keep forgetting the darn thing. Would nuts count? I was considering buying some almonds or something and giving myself a portion a day for the protein. Also, I love em! Yeah, you're probably right with the Syns. My wine is 8.5 and I...

So nice of you to ask! I've been on the plan for four days now, sticking to it religiously and so far it's been possibly the simplest diet I've ever been on - I think I've felt hungry ONCE and that was when I randomly woke up at four in the morning. Weigh in on Thursday so hopefully I'll see...

Hi, another one with lots to lose here! I'm currently at 16 st.10 lbs and want to get to about 9 and a half stone. Long way to go, seems so daunting!

... to just stick to the one plan rather than mixing it up? I'm not a veggie but I hardly ever eat meat (unless it's on a pizza!) so the red plan really doesn't grab me at all! Extra Easy seems okay but I've really clicked with the green plan - I find that the carbs make me feel like I've...

Hey Donna, you're the same height and weight as me! I put my target as 10 stone but think I'm going to take it down to 9 - 9.5 so as to be right in the healthy bracket. Good luck!! :)

You're absolutely right, Jael, I am still in diet mode - and a fat (ho ho ho) lot of good dieting has done me so far. Funny you should mention wine, as tonight I did actually use my Syns on a nice glass of red. Gorgeous. I'm just going to chill out about it and enjoy being on such a flexible plan.

Sorry all, another irritating (and probably stupid) question. From what people have said on this thread, and from reading other posts, it seems like I need to make sure I get enough Syns every day in order to make sure I have some wriggle room if my weight plateaus at any point (reduce the Syns...

I'm going to buy some high heeled knee high boots. I've always wanted them but they currently won't zip up over my puffy calves!

Thank you both, for your lovely replies. Um.. let's see. I had semi skimmed milk in my coffee (3 cups) as my Healthy Extra A and the 4 cheese triangles were my Healthy Extra B. I know that with it being a green day (apparently) I'm supposed to have 2 Healthy Extra Bs but I went shopping last...

Hi everyone, I just joined SW last night and today was my first day on the plan. I had a Green day and have stuck rigidly to the plan (I think!). I feel so satisfied after all the food I've eaten. I just wanted to check a couple of things, if anyone could help me out? 1. How is this...
