amazing Mum2three, thats a fab loss. Keep up the good work xx

I know I just posted but I wanted to do today as a post on its on. Its WI day and for the 2nd week running Ive sts. I cant say Im suprised as Ive sneaked in too many extra syns. Ive been thinking long and hard about it and reviewed my diaries and I think there are a few things making it be a...

thanks carrie. I think my problem is I have a drink and then my resolve not to sit and snack all evening goes out the window!!!! Still now I know so I can avoid it. Forgot to log on and update yesterday so here is Monday's update first: Bfast: quorn sausage, tinned toms and mushroom Lunch...

another week of sts - but hey ho, I deserved nothing better to be honest!! I feel like Im in a better place now so really wanting to lose by next WI and get through that 1 stone barrier. Ive joined the march challenge thread and set myself a target of 7lb by the end of the month. That's...

Well done ladies! Ive stayed the same (2nd week running). Got my head back in the right place now though so hoping for a good loss next WI. I just can't seem to break through that one stone barrier!

didnt intend this to happen but somehow went off plan today. found my stash of curly wurleys and drank my weekends supply of lager (4 small bottles!!). ahhh well, not sure why, but this always happens when I get below 11. Its like I cant believe I can get lower so I eat more to prove it...

eeek! no good at this colour stuff !! was trying to give myself plum - bottom right in the colour scheme. If the next person along could change me that would be fab. sorry I really should be better at this ...

Hi everyone, love to join in the challenge - I do SW online and have had a rubbish couple of weeks so extra motivation is needed! Im going to put myself down for 7lbs!! 10st10lbs - Xlbs to lose Susienoz - 5lbs to lose Kirstabubble - 4.5lbs to lose Belfastbabybear - 7lbs to lose...

cheers m'dear! Writing my update now but sure I will eat more after I have written this because for some reason I just want to eat eat eat..... Went to powerplates tonight for the first time in about 2 weeks. wow, those vibrations made my nose tickle - I could hardly focus on the exercise as...

Hi there Just been reading your diary and wanted to say its really good!! You are doing so well with the weight loss! Can you share your kebab recipe. I'd really like to try them but not sure how to go about making them (worried I'll undercook or overcook) and what do you like to serve them...

congrats on the 2lb loss - that's fab - especially considering you thought the opposite. you must have been snacking on good veggies LOL! think your menu is looking great. Im planning to make some home made burgers this weekend. How do you do yours? kat x

so well and truly feel back on the plan now :-) had another physio session today for my shin, and while its getting better I still have to be careful what I can do. Aqua aerobics was on the plan for tonight. The bus is on diversion at the moment so I thought Id get a cab there, and my...

well I am back.... had a bit of a rough week last week, with work, star week and feeling full of cold - and had to entertain the nephews for the weekend on top of that! Didnt go too off plan - in the sense that the pizza I had was the healthiest thinest one I could find!!! I have sts which...

well done everyone. Ive stayed the same this week, but not suprised given that I was all over the place, and tbh spent at least half the week, not really counting syns but just trying to keep as healthy as I could manage! Back with an attitude this week, I will get back on track and prove I...

rubbish week, nightmare work stuff plus nephews came to stay. managed to sts which is good considering. Back with focus from today though with a little aim to lose 5lbs in two weeks (got that wedding to go to!!)

hello chocaslim had a nightmare week with work last week and felt really under the weather. Am back on form now though :-) Will start my posting again later today. glad to have been missed :-) kat x

Good luck tonight nibblynoush I lost 1.5lb this week. very happy with that, thank-you very much! sticking to 100 percent this week, so hoping I can break through the 1 stone loss barrier next week. Kat x

well done and welcome pavschick and tubby1. Great losses all round. I know what you mean about eating well pavschick, its a revelation how my diet has improved. I used to think I ate healthy food because I prepared from scratch, but doing EE has really made me focus on eating more veggies and...

Well done Laura and Silvermane. More great losses. I must try and add up the collective weight loss of this thread some time! I lost 1.5lbs this week, which is a mini miracle seeing as I did very little exercise apart from walking! One more lb and I will hit the stone mark - so excited...

hello Happy Valentine's Day everyone xxxxx Bfast: Quorn sausage, grilled tomato and mushroom Lunch: butternut squash stew and cous cous Dinner: quorn sausage sandwich (brown bread) with brown sauce snack: curly wurly, tangerine, glass of wine HEA: milk HEB: brown bread Syns: 12...

Hiya Welcome to success :-) . We are merry little band of Tuesday at homers, glad you can join us. Slow and steady sounds like a great way to lose weight and keep off. Are you doing EE, R or G? And are you sticking at it 100 percent - right down to the syns and HEA and B? I stuck at it...

Sunday: started with food delivery at 7.30am - why oh why did that ever sound like a good idea! Made the most of the early start and took the dogs out for an extra long walk. Good job too as the rain came in by late morning. Rest of day spent decorating the bedroom. Me and Hubby are not...

Hi chocaslim thanks for popping in and taking a look. Its good to have a little peek at other diaries isn't it. Can give you some great ideas. I am a bit addicted to my current breakfasts - quorn with grilled mushroom and tomatoes / beans. Its really quick to make, free and healthy and...

hi chocaslim you are so good - going out without drinking . Can't do it myself :-) Much better at making the drink last though.... Are super noodles free on extra easy? If so I might need to get me some, yum yum, hope you had a good evening.

Hi Charlie Mac Congrats on your weight loss - you and I seem to have lost a similar amount since Jan 4. Im giving myself two weeks more to go for one stone as its * week this week and I have felt urgk! Im also going our for valentine's dinner tonight (so we can stay out late!!), and while I...

hey holly's nan wished you luck on another thread too, but double wishing you luck. I know you've been good, so it will show on the scales xxx and Id never have thought your granddaughter was called holly!!!! :-)

well done mum of three. and good luck holly's nan, really hope you get that sticker. I do slimming world online and they don't give you stickers :-( x

HI Katerpillar Feeling much better today. Back to my normal self :-) Glad you re joining me on 100 per cent - it really does make a difference. I know what you mean about red wine !!!! I measure mine out then divide it between a few glasses so a small glass actually feels like two glasses...

not feeling too great today, bad cramps :-( chilling with a large glass of red and then off to bed. hey, its friday tomorrow - yippee xx Bfast: quorn sausage, scrambled egg and baked beans lunch: cottage cheese and finn crisps Dinner; quorn sausage x2, scrambled egg and 1/2 tin tomatoes...

Wednesday: star week time so no wonder I am feeling a little tired and like everything is a lot of effort!!! extra easy today: and back on 100 per cent Bfast: muller light and alpen light bar x2 Lunch: chilli Dinner: beef casserole with carrots, spinach and sweet potato mash followed by...

how did everyone do this week? I lost 3lb - amazing :-) stuck to plan - and what a surprise it worked :-) kat x

how did you do Holly's nan? hope you were pleased with the scales. I lost a whopping 3lb - which I am gobsmacked by. really really pleased! Had a blip on my 100 percenter yesterday, but back on track today. kat x

Hi chocaslim hope weigh in went well. How do you make your pancakes, Ive never made them but they sound yum! Are they easy and quick to make on a work morning. kat x

well done skinny. Happy Birthday for tomorrow, and remember its more important to enjoy yourself than sticking to plan. You know what's good for you and what you want to achieve so just go with the flow Kat xx

Hi Kat, thanks for fluttering by. Your starting weight is very similar to mine - although I notice you are soooo much taller than me you probably already look great ! I do love bootcamp, its amazing - a good torture. I have to stop all impact sports for three weeks though to help my shin...

Back again Just realised I didnt say well done to Tish - amazing first week weigh-in. What motivation that must be! And Silvermane UK - cannot believe I forgot to say how utterly totally fabulous it is that you have lost more than a stone now. You are my inspiration - me having lost a mere...

Hello Ladies Sneaking on during work so will be quick :D NicolaS, yes I am on extra easy and last week I stuck to it religiously - right down to making sure there was 1/3 superfree on my plate, and using up my syns. Check out my diary if you want to see what Im eating. I also did a fair...

Monday: Horrid day at work. Sometimes I find my worklife so difficult, it makes me miserable. Didnt end up going to yoga as I was worried I would end up crying in public if I started to destress! Hubby cooked me tea and we watched some episodes of House together with a glass of wine, so...

Sunday: Little bit late with this one! Spent all day redectorating as I hated the colour I had done on Saturday. Did go to powerplates too, but didnt really do much else. Bfast: tinned tomato on wholemeal toast (no butter) Lunch: Ham with cottage cheese Dinner: Spicy mince with...

OMG I have lost 3lb. I am so delighted, I am now under 11 stone (by .5lb LOL!). I really focused this week and did 100 percent every day - eating 1/3 superfree, using HEA and B plus my syns every day. Ive been keeping a food diary elsewhere on this site and I do think that has helped me keep...

Saturday: Skipped boot camp today as my leg was really sore from the physio - and I felt I did need a day off as Id done a lot last week. Walked the dogs for 1/2 hour instead so still got some activity in. Also spent most of the day decorating so lots of lunges and stretching there too...

I'll have to suggest to hubby that he does that then :rolleyes:

hi just wanted to add to this thread. Exercise is so important to build into your routine, particularly cardio workouts. Be it walking more, swimming, marathon training or step classes. Benefits include improving your blood pressure, good for the heart (its a muscle remember) and...

I am terrible for weighing myself throughout the week. I just cant resist it - and I know I shouldn't. You do end up causing yourself traumas because you've put on 1lb during the day, even though you know its just fluctuations. But in a way it does motivate me to keep at it, sometimes it...

.5lb is still .5lb! And its not too bad when you know why you've not lost much.

Hi Hollys nan, the hot chocolate is a good idea. I have bought a jar of options to help top up my syns intake on days when im struggling. Been on 100 percent since Tuesday and managed it every day so far. had a sneaky look on the scales this norning - and its looking good which is really...

wow, what an incredibly long day today has been. got into work about 8.15am, left work about 7.45pm. so so tired but still wired so only just about to hit the sack! Was very good this week in the office though. Wednesday I said no to bday cake, yesterday someone bought in chocolate Milka...

This is for Thursday - as by the time I got back from aqua aerobics I forgot to write up the day. Good day yesterday, even if my slow cooker experiment didnt work that well. I decided on Wed night to pop courgettes, red onion, aubergine, mushroom and tomato together with a joint of ham cut...

Had to work late yesterday, and was far too tired to update last night. So this is my diary for Wednesday. I got up extra early and went to bootcamp at 7am. It was not great leaving the house before dawn, but the magnificent sunrise we got to see for the hour we were exercising made up for...

Hi Tracy welcome to our little group - and hope you had a good loss week! Jo- that's great news. You will so lose .5lb this week. Just keep focused and remember how amazing its going to be to let us know next week that you've hit your half stone award!! Lots of luck ladies. Kat x

well done chocaslim! thats a great loss - doesnt it feel amazing to realise you are losing weight :-) Kat x

weigh-in day today. And... I lost 1.5lb - woo hoo me!!! If I keep going at this rate, I'll need to get my wedding ring resized. Imagine that! Had a power plates session tonight - really good as you are in and out in no time, with each class on 30 minutes. But its a bit pricy so dont think...

Id agree - outside is so much better. You get natural ups and downs on your route and feel so much better for having spent time outside rather than in an air-con gym. Also - you keep moving so soon pass everyone, hence nobody can stare LOL. defo agree re: shoes. go to a running shop if you...

Hi Gizmo you should have no problem at all getting in prime shape for a 10k in May. there are some really good websites that can give you a training programme to base your regime on as well. My favourite is the running bug but there are loads of there. I adore running but have shin splints...

Hi I often need to reduce the meals Ive cooked in the slow cooker. I find that boiling then simmering the liquid for a while. It can take a while but it works, and it tends to make the flavour more intense as its all concentrated. Works well with bovril type stock bases or tinned / fresh...

amazing post *honey. thank you for taking the time to post all these tasty recipes. I am trying to decide which ones I am going to add to my plan for next week. Will come back and tell you kat x

you could toast it slightly first and then kind of scrape it off with a knife - quite roughly if that makes sense. Or use bread thats a little bit dry - in my house its the slice on the top as I forget to close the bag over - and again scrape at it with a knife - as though imaginary butter is...

go for it Sarah - its well worth it!!

Hi everyone Im on day one of a new week today, and have decided to go for 100% week - one day at a time obviousy!! Im really struggling to think of ways to use my syns though. So far Ive had none today, and have my dinner already prepared at home (chilli) which has /5 syn for tom puree...

morning lovely ladies I lost 1.5lb- yeah!!!!!!! delighted with this - not a big loss but I've always been slow at losing so as long as I lose every week I am one happy lady :D So starting my 100%er week today - with a mini goal of 10lb in six weeks to keep me focused. I have a wedding in six...

morning ladies I've lost 1.5lbs this week. Really really pleased with that as I was worried I wasn't shifting anything at all. Set myself a mini goal to lose 10lbs in the next 6 weeks in time for a friends wedding. Do you think that's doable or over ambitious? How did you all do today...

hello ladies just a little note to say hope we all do well tomorrow. Feel like its been a bit of a tough week for me, but I got back on track and made up for slips - lets hope Im rewarded at the scales tomorrow. Think positive - think thin! Kat x

hi everyone How have you all done this week. Feeling good about weigh-in or a bit nervous? Im a bit nervous about it tbh - went out on Friday night and had a few too many drinks. Syned them and paid it back Sat, Sun and today, but still ..... really really want to have lost some weight...

well, feel like I have had a really good day today :), helped in part by the fact that a year ago today my boyfriend (now husband!) proposed to me. :love: Had to go to physio today for my shin splints - and wow did it hurt. I was actually screaming in pain as they dug into the muscle to try...

thanks Tish, taking me a while to get the hang of SW! Really helpful to have some feedback. Im doing SW online but thought Id write the diaries here rather than on the SW website. I last did it years ago when it was just Red and Green days. I think what I'm doing is thinking of something as...

Had a very good day today, making up for the drinkies night out on Friday (which was huge fun and worth it, but got to try and keep things balanced!) Also my lovely husband made the SW KFC dinner for us both tonight. He is such an amazing man - and so supportive with my SW journey. I love him...

yippee !!!! thanks Anne, you've just made my evening :)

hi thanks for the tip about extra lean mince. I always try to buy it, but when I cant I pick up lean mince - didnt realise that it was such a difference in syns. I have a query about EE and chilli con carne (Im only on my 4th week at SW so still getting a bit mixed up). I've made some chili...

Hi My lovely husband is making SW KFC chicken for us both for dinner this evening (isnt he fab!). Just wondered if anyone can help me with a query as I seem to be getting a bit confused about EE days. If I have SW KFC chicken using my HEB for the bread, plus SW chips, baked beans and corn on...

Hi I do SW online and opted for the Gold Membership. Waste of time tbh, I thought Id get a hard copy of everything that's online so I could keep in the kitchen for easy reference, but I was disappointed with what I got. Agree with kerry too, there is no real support just a generic email - much...

just been reading my book again, and think as I had toast this morning I cant have mash this evening unless I syn it. Have decided to give the mash a miss just in case. Lots of veg in the casserole so perhaps this is an extraeasy day? Deary me Im getting myself confused. today I think I had...

Hey Princess Welcome to minimins. Im doing slimming world at home - started at the beginning of this year. Im finding it OK so far, but do sometimes wonder if Id get more out of the classes. But the location and times of classes near me don't really work. The one thing that I find helps...

Hi Can't comment on the group as I am doing SW at home / online. But I lost 3lb, 3lb and now 1lb so can understand the frustration of what feels like a rubbish loss week without really getting why. Ive started a diary in the diary section (errr - where else!) so that I can keep a ruthless...

wow congratulations - that is amazing news. kat x

had an extra glass of wine last night :drunk:- but think it may have been around midnight so Im syning it for today . Have paid for it too- felt awful for most of today, which serves me right ! Weekly food shop arrived today, so when I finally surfaced I decided to make most of the meals for...

Hi everyone thought Id start a food diary to help keep me on track - and to get feedback on how I am doing. I've been on sw since beginning of the year and lost half a stone which I am made up with. However this week I only lost a 1lb despite being good (or thinking I had been). This has...

just the one pound for me this week - but it does mean Ive hit half a stone loss now which feels so much better to say than 1lb. Going to be really good this week - circuit training x2, aqua arerobics and yoga plus lots of healthy home made soups for lunch. Really want to ensure I dont...

welcome skinny*me- love the name how you doing this week so far? kat x

ohhh Jo, that's frustrating for you I bet. Here is what I think you will do (and Im going to remember all this, as I am sure I will fall off the wagon one day). 1) stop beating yourself up about it 2) make a promise to yourself now, that you will forget all that has happened up to now and...

hey Jo a loss is a loss. Just keep focused on hitting that half stone mark. Im a lb of my half stone loss too - so lets both aim to hit it next week together. Kat x

Thanks Jules, some good suggestions re: curry sauces and pastes. I'll check some out on the online syns calculator tool and design some menus around them for next week. I love my curry and spicy food so this might be a great way to add them into the day. I don't have a sweet tooth so tonight...

Im watching at US Pace too. Adore this show so much. I love Christina and Bailey and Alex. The most recent episode with all the med students / interns made me laugh so much, much needed after the school based episode me thinks!!

well done Gemmy, that's a fab loss. Welcome to our little group of Tuesday at homers DonnaJT - great way to introduce yourself too - 4lb weight loss is amazing. How is everyone finding it? I am planning all my meals in advance and doing the shopping list based on this so all good stuff in...

thanks Natt. I may try adding some cheese into my jackets or spuds as a start. I think i should also look at some of the recipes online. For the first two weeks Ive avoided any which have syns in them, but think this might be best way to go rather than filling up on carp each evening! Kat x

hi there Ive just (literally this evening) been told I have shin splints, caused by straining / tearing the ligament beside my shin. I have slightly flat feet (gee how attractive) so I've been told. I saw the physio this evening and he started some ultra sound treatment to help speed up the...

hi everyone I'm going for a free session for power plates on Thursday evening. I normally do running and boot camp but Ive got shin splints at the moment so my physio suggested I tried something else to help me keep active and fit, and with the weight loss. Really looking forward to it - but...

thanks Jules:)

hi all lost 3lb again this week. fabulous :-) how'd everyone else do? xx

this has been so helpful. thanks for taking the time to pull this together - as a newbie who has joined online, this post (and your FAQ) is invaluable. If only the website was quite as clear !!!! I am struggling with my syns though. I used 2 1/2 yesterday with a cup of low fat, just add...

just wanted to add my thanks to the roll call! Im doing SW at home, and while the info it all there on the website Im sure, Im still not familiar enough with it to know exactly where to look. This thread has been really helpful this evening, and I feel Im starting to get to grips with how Ive...

Morning All, I've lost another 3lbs - delighted by this as I have been really good and its nice to see it makes a difference. Never ever ever lost 3lbs two weeks running before!!!!! All being well I will break the half a stone barrier next week! Well done nicolaS for your weight loss this...

well done PammiePie - and just think you are now only a couple of days away from another week of weight loss!

im stuck in the 11s too! lol. I had a brief flirtation with the 10 (high!) when I got married last Summer but almost overnight got back into 11s. I am determined this year will be the year when me and the 10s become intimate and long term pals!

well done BeckyT - you are no longer 12stone xlbs - you are 11stone xlbs (you can almost imagine that's losing a whole stone). It sounds so much lighter doesnt it!! Good luck to everyone for this week. I've got my meals planned out (slimming world KFC on Saturday night!!) and Im doing...

bowl of home made carrot soup and a portion of homemade cous cous with veg. yum... feel really full!

hi im on SW at home. I lost 3lb this week, which i am well chuffed with. Still not sure how to work the EE way, as last time i was on it there was just red and green days. any tips or links to elsewhere on the forum where its explained would be great. kat x

Britt and HQ - well done both, that is an amazing loss! Nicolas - a loss is a loss and it all adds up. Imagine how much you'd lose this year if you achieved that each and every week. Gemmy, I don't know what a 'star' week is, but I do reckon you'll lose the 2lbs next week once you are back...

I lost 3lb!!! so pleased!

woo hoo I lost 3lbs! How did everyone else do? x

Hi I'd like to join your team :p I started last Tuesday and hope to lose about a stone and half in total. My dream would be to lose a stone by the time I go to a friends wedding in March!

Hi Just started slimming world at home last week and Tuesday is my day of choice (cos I didnt want to start on the bank holiday lol). Be weighing in tomorrow morning before I go to work. Been very good this week and stuck to the 7 day plan they start you off on so hoping for a good result. Kat
