1lb loss for me - finally!!!

STS again!

I STS this week.

Unfortunately I put on 2lb this week. I'm finding it hard to get motivated at the moment - my husband is struggling with depression and anxiety and I'm finding myself comfort eating. A few good days on plan and I'll be back in the swing of things.

Oops - 2lb on this week.

Oops - plus 2lb for me this week. Throughly deserved as I've not been able to stop eating! Back on plan now. Just need to get my motivation back...

Hi - can I join please ? I weigh in on Thurs and have a target of 5lb. I've no holidays. Unfortunately I'm likely to gain this week as was off plan over the bank holiday weekend.

3lb off this week, so back to 16st 10. Really happy :)

Yay! 3lb off, so back to 16st 10...

I'm now 3lb heavier than 3 weeks ago, but after 3 weeks off plan (including 2 weeks in USA) I'm now back on plan. Hope to see a good loss next week.

I've had a few weeks off plan, including 2 weeks in USA, and am now back up to 16 st 13. I'm now back on SW and hope to see some good losses over the next few weeks. Good luck all.

STS this week (not unexpected), but back on it next week!

I STS this week. I've been eating loads, but craving snacks, which is unlike me as I rarely ate sweet food / crisps, etc before SW. As a result I've gone over my allowance a few times with low syn snacks (and G&Ts!). This may be because it was the anniversary of my mum's death and I often...

Great losses this month @Aasshh417 ! I STS this week. I'm going through a bit of a "want to eat anything that doesn't move quickly enough" phase. So far I'm sticking to relatively healthy snacking (washed down with a G&T) but am going over my daily syn allowance too often.

Hope you're feeling better, and thanks for updating!

1lb loss for me, which puts me at 16st 10lb. Gradually chipping away at it!

1lb loss for me

1lb loss for me, which makes 1 and a half stone in total. Good luck everyone else.

No problem @Sazmajig - thanks so much for finding time to update it at all! I find the monthly challenge really helps keep me on track x

2lb off for me! Really happy - and have been on plan, (except for a quite a few cocktails on Friday...)

2lb off for me this week, so am now 16st 11lb... Hoping that I can get towards the middle of the zone before I go to New York next month (which won't be good for the diet!)

2lb off for me :woohoo:

Hi all, I got into the 16 stone bracket yesterday (just!!) so will be joining you guys for a while - though it looks like most of you are heading quickly for the 15 stone zone!

Well done to you too @Torn_Tranquility!!! It's fab when you get an unexpectedly big loss. Keeps me motivated for the next week.

I lost 3lb this week! Yay!

Woo hoo! I'm outta here! Lost 3lbs this week and am into the 16 stone bracket (just!). I look forward to seeing you all in there soon x

3lb loss for me and into the next stone bracket! :woohoo:

Sorry to hear that Aasshh - its really demotivating when you've worked hard to eat well and don't see the results. However I often find that the next week's losses make up for it, so please don't be too disheartened. As you say, a half pound loss is a step in the right direction...

Amazingly I lost 1lb today! Was expecting to gain as I spent 5 days in Malta (not on plan but being reasonably sensible). I guess all the walking helped!

1lb loss for me! Good luck today

Great losses last week! 1lb loss for me - absolutely delighted as I was in Malta for 5 days and didn't stick to plan (though tried to be good-ish and did loads of walking). Back to 17st 2 - and will hopefully soon be outta here!!

Please can you add me too? I weigh in on Thurs and would like to lose 5lb. I've no holidays planned (though am on holiday now so am likely to have put on during the first week of March!)

Fantastic losses Sammy - well done! I put on 1lb this week - though was away for the weekend for my Dad's birthday and drank waaaay too much wine,so it's entirely expected. I'm off for a long weekend in Malta in the morning, so will be off plan (I always try to be sensible-ish but not totally...

I weighed in a day early as I'm off on holiday tomorrow. A 1lb gain this week, though to be fair it probably balances out the (not deserved) 3lb loss last week... At least I don't have to give back my 1 stone award... until after my holiday at least! Good luck tomorrow

I weighed in a day early as I'm off on hols tomorrow, but it was 1lb on this week (entirely self inflicted by drinking way, way, way too much wine on my Dad's birthday!!). I still met this month's target so am well chuffed!

I've lost another 3lb - so am now down to 17st 2. Hopefully will be in the next zone by March...

Another 3lb off - and my 1stone award!!

Lost another 3lb this week! As long as I don't put on next week I've met my monthly target!!

Woohoo! 3lb off today! The hard work is started to pay off. Good luck this week everyone...

Welcome flowerfae! I lost 3lb today - now down to 17st 5lb. Really happy!

I lost 3lb this week - so happy!! I hope all goes well for you all, and that you get your motivation back Torn.

A 1lb loss! Only 4lb to go... Thanks

Hi - is it too late to join? I weigh in on Thurs and would like to lose 5lb this months (I have a weekend away planned which will likely involve loads of booze so don't want to be too optimistic!). Thanks

1lb off today - which I'm very happy with as I had 3 days off plan... It's funny how last week I was really disappointed with a 1lb loss, and this week I'm delighted!! Good luck all

By some miracle I lost 1lb this week - though I've got a feeling I'll pay for this week's over-indulgence next Thurs! So I'm now 17 st 8 - nearly halfway to the 16s...

You poor thing - I hope your dad's ok... These things happen - there are more important things in life than dieting! Just get back on it when you can. (Says the person who's had about 50 syns today - will start afresh tomorrow!)

Hi Kipperkid, I've had a similar week, and expect to put on 1 or 2 lb. However I'm in this for the long haul, and a few blips don't matter, as long as it doesn't stop me trying... fingers crossed for us both on Thurs...

I lost 1lb today. Now at 17st 9... Hopefully I can be in the 16s by mid March.

Good luck today! I've lost 1lb this week - losses have slowed down but I'm going to keep plugging away!

Welcome Laura and Zeppee! Look forward to getting into the 16s with you both :)

Thanks for the tips about actifrys! I lost 2lb this week - down to 17st 10 - and still determined to continue Good luck all :)

2lb lost this week - very pleased as I had a blip at a family funeral earlier this week

I've been thinking about getting an actifry - would you recommend one?

Definitely! Any diet where I'd have to weigh out food before I stuff it in my gob isn't for me!!

Hi Nicky and Laura - you too sure aren't hanging around!! Good luck getting into the 16 stone zone next week. I've only ever tried SW, and it's always worked for me. I'm determined to stick at it this time. All the best

Oops - a bit late... Started a week ago and weighed in yesterday with a 5lb first week loss. :)

Hi all, After one week at SW and a 5lb loss I've weighed in at 17st 12. Am looking forward to gradually dropping down toward the 16 stone bracket with you all. Good luck all X

Thanks Lara! I weighed in today at 17st 12 - a 5lb loss - so am off to the next group. I look forward to seeing you all there in the next few weeks X

Hi all, Started back at SW last Thursday weighing in at 18st 3. No offence, but I'm hoping not to be in this group long! I've been on plan so far, so fingers crossed for a good loss... Keep at it - you know you can do it!

Every bit counts daisygrubber - well done! Not far to go now...

Thanks PrincessJane! Unfortunately STS this week, but hope that's a result of it being * week and there'll be a good loss next week!

STS for me today. A bit disappointed as I had a good week (apart from a wedding on Saturday). However it is * week so determined to stick at it and hope for a loss next week! Good luck to everyone else today!

Hi all, I'm back to SW with a starting weight of 17st 13. Managed to lose 6lb last week :) so am now on 17st 7. Looking forward to seeing our numbers drop over the coming months!

Hi all, Started back on SW last week - starting weight was 17st 13. Managed to lose 6 lb in week 1 :) so now at 17st 7. Looking forward to seeing that number reduce over the coming months...

It's a 1lb gain for me. Stuck to plan all week, then stayed with friends on Sat night and drank / ate far too much (including a non SW fry up on Sunday). Had a great time though - a few months ago I'd be eating/drinking like that all the time, at least now I think about what I'm consuming...

Hi all - as expected I've gained (1lb). Just shows what one bad night can do! I've got a difficult few weeks ahead - its my hubby's birthday on Saturday and we're staying at a country pub, then we've got 2 weekends away at friends. I'll try to minimise the impact of these, by being as good...

Hi all - not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in. I had a really good week until last night - was at friends and had far too much food and booze, then a fry up this morning... Hopefully it won't have done too much harm. It was my first bad day in 6 weeks (lost 1st 3lb so far) so I'm not...

3lb off this week - down to 15st 9lb. Aiming to lose 2 or 3 this week to put me in the mid 15s. Good luck all x

3lb off for me! The next few weeks will be a struggle, as I'm away every weekend until mud August. I'll try to make good decisions, but it can be hard when you're at other peoples houses. Must be extra good on the weekdays x Oops - sorry about double post! Iphone / finger trouble!!

3lb off for me! I'm away next weekend, so will be doing 'damage limitation' until Friday, as I'm sure to have too many syns on Saturday. Have a good week!

3lbs off for me. I'm away next weekend, so will try to be very good during the week (as I'm bound to have a lot of syns on Saturday night) Good luck everyone x

Hi all! Lost 3lb this week, and am really chuffed.!

Hi all! Just weighed in at 15st 12lb, a loss of 3lb, so am chuffed to get into in the 15s to 14s group. Look forward to sharing losses with you all, as we work towards the 14s!

Hi all, Just weighed in at 15st 12lb, so am off to the next group. Just wanted to say thanks to all, and hopefully see you in the 15s soon x

Morning all! Really chuffed - I had a 3lb loss, making it a total 1 stone loss over 5 weeks! Very surprised because I've been in bed most if the weekend with a throat infection - kept to plan, but ate badly (eg loads of packet stuff and tinned soup, with hardly anything fresh). Good luck to...

Just wanted to say good luck! I also have an anxiety disorder, and weigh in at home. Once you get into a pattern SW is really easy to manage. I tend to do Extra Easy days, and eat: Breakfast: either Weetabix and milk (using up my HexA and HexB) or a fry up at weekends (bacon without fat...

2lbs off for me! That makes me 16st 1lb - hopefully will be moving into the 15s next week!

I lost 2lb - only 2 more until I break into the 15 stones. Hope to have a good week and get there next Monday (never to return!) Well done everyone xx

Morning all! I just weighed in an it's a 2lb loss for me, making 11lb in 4 weeks. Had a good week - only just drifted over my syns yesterday (needed a beer with the footie!). Good luck everyone x

Hi, can I join please? I'm aiming for 35lbs by Xmas. Thanks!

Hi all - another newbie! I started SW at the end of May weighing 16st 12. After 3 weeks I'm down to 16st 3, so hopefully won't be on here too long! Next weigh in is Monday (I'm doing SW at home using books I got when doing SW online last year). Good luck all x

Another 2lb off for me - really chuffed! Went completely off plan yesterday, but am back on track today. Good luck everyone!

It's 2lb off for me - really happy. However I had a bad bad day yesterday - went to a local festival and had lots of bad food and drink. All I can do now just forget about it and move on! Good luck everyone!

Just weighed in - 2lb off for me (which makes 7lb in the first 2 weeks). Had a massive pub Sunday lunch yesterday which wasn't very SW friendly, so am very happy I haven't gained! Good luck everyone!

Woo hoo - lost 5lb this week so now am 16.7. Halfway there!!

Well done everyone who's weighed in so far! First week back and lost 5lb - really happy that Saturday's wine and sausages didn't affect the loss too much!

Hi all I started SW last week, weighing in at 16st 12 and managed to lose 5lb! Very happy about that, particularly as Saturday wasn't to plan (family get together with too much wine and no SW friendly food - except salad, but a girl can't live on that!). Good luck to everyone else weighing...

Hi all - Just started SW and weighed in at 16st 12 on Monday. Its been a good week so far, and am determined to keep it up over the Bank Holidays!

Hi Annabelle, That's a fantastic week 1 loss! I'd be happy with half that! Well done for maintaining it too! It's crazy but I knew exactly what I was doing when I put the weight back on, but for some reason didn't care. I'm now in the right frame of mind to start losing weight again, and...

Hi all, Well done to all that have weighed in today! I've decided to start SW again - weighing at home. I lost 2 and a half stone last year, but after getting married in Oct 11 have steadily put most of it back on again. So I'm having a fresh start! The scales read 16 st 12 lb this morning...

Hi all, Just want to say hi to you all - I was on here last year and lost 2 stone between Jan and May (about a third of what I want to lose) and am starting back on SW tomorrow. Dreading the weigh in as I'm probably almost back to where I started, but am looking forward to the next few months...

STS for me. Not too disappointed as we had the food/wine tasting for our wedding, and a work picnic and night out at the weekend. Good luck everyone!

Well done - some cracking losses this week! I've had a month off SW - my head just wasn't in the right place, and when I weighed in last week I'd put on 4lb. So this week I got my flabby ar$e in gear and have lost 5lb!! I'm now under 15st for the first time in 3 years, and have the...

Well done on the losses! I STS again this week - been off work on leave for the last two weeks and have eaten / drunk a lot more than usual. Will be back in the old SW routine from today, so am hoping for a good loss next week! After 3 months on SW (and 2 stone lost) I felt I needed a...

Hi Cazzy and well done on your loss hel!! I STS this week. Haven't been on plan so am very pleased - now just need to get the motivation back after a weekend of roast dinners and chocolate! See you all next week - and good luck with your weigh ins!

Well done on your losses! I lost 1lb - bit disappointed as I wanted to break the 15st barrier, but that can be my goal for next week!!

Well done on your loss Jengen and keep at it Vicki!!! I've had a bit of a nightmare tonight - my other half wanted to go out tonight to one of our old favourite restaurants. He's been fab over the last few months - eating and cooking according to SW plan. So, I carefully chose my food -...

Well done everyone on the losses and the awards!! I lost an amazing 5lb and got my 2 stone award!! I'm so chuffed, particularly as we went out twice for meals this week and I was really good both times!! I've noticed that my weightloss is going in 4 week cycles - I have a big loss, then 3...

To celebrate my Club 10 I had a big lump of ribeye steak (fat removed) with roasted peppers, a few SW roast spuds and a mahoosive salad. I now have a happy tum!

Woo Hoo!! Lost 1lb and finally got my Club 10! Really chuffed as the last few weeks have been a struggle, but I got there in the end!! Good luck everyone!

STS for me, so still 1lb off my Club 10. Not too disappointed. Really need to get losing soon as it's only 6.5 months until the wedding, and I want to be a size 16/18 by then.

Bad luck about the gains - I know how frustrating it can be, but I try to use it as motivation the following week. I can't weigh in this morning - some blokes are replastering our bathroom ceiling and I can't get to the scales so will weigh tomorrow. Good luck everyone!!

I'm having the lemon and garlic roast chicken bake from this month's magazine. I've changed it a bit (eg added thyme cos it's my favourite and am roasting the garlic for the dressing as I've got a meeting tomorrow and can't be too smelly!). Only 30 mins to wait!!

Morning all!! Well done Ange on the fantastic loss, and well done on the STS hel and ammsas! I lost 1lb - a bit disappointed as I have been really good this week, but it evens things up after my 6lb loss last week (which was much more than I deserved!). Still got 1lb to go until my club 10 -...

Welcome Ange!! I know what you mean about it feeling like you're eating loads - I feel the same, but have steadily lost weight since January. Well done on giving up smoking too!! Hope you do well this week, and look forward to hearing your progress!

Fantastic losses trinakmh!! Welcome to the Monday gang!!

Well done hel and ammsas!! I also lost this week (after a 1lb gain last week) - a whopping 6lb! That gets me my 1.5 stone award, and am aiming to get Club 10 next week (2lb away). Was super good all week - loads of superfree food and had 4 sessions on the exercise bike and am so pleased it...

After my 1lb gain on Monday, I've been super good so far this week! Hoping that if I get a good loss next Monday it'll encourage me to stick to plan and do some exercise in future weeks. Hope all other Monday-ers are having good weeks too!!

I put on 1lb... Not really surprised - I went away for the weekend and had 3 meals out and too much booze, so got what I deserved! To be honest, I think it'll be good for me. I'd started to deviate from plan for a few weeks but had got away with it. This just tells me I need to do better...

Well done everyone so far - some cracking losses!! I lost 1lb - less than I hoped for but at least it's a loss!! Good luck for the week ahead!

Morning all!!! Just stepped in the scales and had a 2lb loss! Really happy with it - have now lost 16lb since Jan and am bang on 16 stone. I had a bit of a blip at the weekend (out for two meals and didn't choose the healthiest options!) but was good the rest of the week. Should be in the...

Well done everyone - some fantastic losses!! I've lost 2lb this week - and got my first stone award!!! I'm really happy (particularly as yesterday was one of those days when I couldn't stop grazing - something to do with the 2 glasses of wine at lunch!!) Good luck to everyone else!

I've lost another 1lb!!! Really happy as I was off plan over the weekend - gonna be really good this week as only 2lb to go to my first stone award. Good luck everyone!!

I lost 2lb, which I'm really pleased with!! I was good during the week, but visited family at the weekend and didn't stick to plan. Only 3lb to go for my first stone award - aiming to get there in a fortnight. Well done to everyone so far, and good luck to the evening weighers!

I was told that breaststroke is fine - but this may be due to the position of my sciatica (right at the bottom of my spine). According to my physio no further damage will be done by non load bearing exercise (like swimming and cycling) - although it does increase the pain whilst I'm doing it...

Hi Lucy, I've got sciatica too (it was the reason I started SW a few weeks ago). I get pain all down my left leg - awful nerve pain. It started last October, and my Physio thinks it's a combination of a big tum and too much walking jarring my spine. It does get better! - I got referred to a...

My friend is a dog behavioural expert. I was chatting to her last week as we would love a dog, but have to work full time. Apparently dogs learn what is normal in puppy-hood. If it is always surrounded by people as a puppy it'll find it difficult to adapt if it's left alone as an adult - will...

Hi Maxx!! I started SW at home last week - got about 6 stone to lose and know it's gonna be a long journey - but I also know it's what I want to do. I'm also not sure about EE - although I lost a lot last week and had 3 EE days. It seems like too much choice to work, but I'm going to try it...

I think I'm going to put in a tray of roasted veg - got some potatoes, celeriac, carrots, butternut squash, onion, garlic, peppers, and herbs. Will have this with griddled chicken breast and finish off the salad bits. Mmmm can't wait!!

I know what you mean about the stairs Wannabeaminime - I live on the 2nd floor, but cos of the high ceilings have 48 steps up. Can't wait for the time when I'm not out of breath at the top!! Fantastic news with the weigh in!!!

OMG!!! My first weigh in today and I lost 8 lb!! I really can't believe it, as I went to bed last night concerned that EE wouldn't work for me. Admittedly my initial weight was after a 'pre-diet blowout' (and I'm using bathroom scales) but it's really good to have such a kick-start to my...

Good luck Yeomy!! I'm new too - got 6 stone to lose and, like you, feel really positive and determined to do it! I'm sure we'll catch up along the way xx

Hi all!! I also started SW last Monday. I did it in 2003-4 and lost 4 stone, but but have eventually put 5 st back on ( through sheer laziness and knowingly eating the wrong stuff ). Its gonna be interesting to see how things go tomorrow. The last time I did SW they didn't have EE - I've had...

Hi Kerry! I'm in a similar situation - I'm 17 stone, and have finally accepted that I need and want to do something about my weight. I've known I should for 5 or 6 years (since I put a lot of weight on) but the time feels right now. I believe that the key to losing weight is really wanting to...

Well, day 1 over and it's gone well... I ate the food I'd planned to, with the only extra being a cashew nut that I popped in my mouth without thinking! Wasn't even tempted by my colleague's brownies! I'm sure the hotpot used up all my syns, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow already...

Hi all! Well, I've finally woken up to what I need to do, and have the motivation to do it... Tomorrow starts the new me - I know that sounds like I'm postponing the inevitable, but it's really been a struggle to finish off the last few bits of "Xmas" food in the fridge. There's a pan of...

Thanks Lynn - I love scrambled eggs (possibly my favourite food ever!) and the added ham sounds good too. Being used to a carb high breakfast (usually porridge or toast) it'll be interesting to see how it works and how full I feel. May have to leave the washing up until the evening though...

I have to admit Jill that EE confuses me a bit!! I haven't read through all the leaflets yet, but I'm sure it'll make sense when I do!! It didn't exist last time I did SW... I've generally done green days during the week, as it easier for my other half to add a bit more meat/fish/cheeeeese to...

Great idea Dreamer - I'll try that out. As I'm not really a morning person and generally have a bit of a rush to get out of the house, the idea of cooking eggs etc doesn't really appeal. Some nuts with either porridge or fruit salad may be easier.

Thanks for all the welcomes!! It's so good that there's a whole group of us starting at the same time - I'm sure we'll all need a bit of support / advice from time to time and it's great to get that from people who really understand!! Good luck to all of you - the great thing with SW is that I...

I watched it last night and found it fascinating, particularly the three areas you mentioned - the soup, dairy calcium and protein. I'm going to really try to have more protein at breakfast rather than my usual porridge. I'm also interested in finding out more about the effect of dairy...

Hi All! I've just signed up to Slimming World Online and am going to start working towards a slimmer, healthier me on Monday. I've been planning the first week's menu and am food shopping tomorrow, so just wanted to say hi to everyone! Bought myself some scales today and I'm 17st 2. I've...
