Week 4 weigh in 11.4lb So no weight loss again, I know some diets take some time to adjust to but this is to slow for me. I don't think it suits me. I've started to feel very sluggish, had a big out break of spots and the shakes don't fill me up anymore. I've only got 3 weigh ins not till...

Week 3 day 5 B shake L shake D ready meal with extra veg 400 Cals S 4x rice cakes 206, banana, apple, jelly pot Exercise dog Walk Water 1 litre Had a sneaky look at scales looking like no loss again. If I've not lost by Monday weigh day think will try something else. Found all my...

What a good idea taking photos each month, might do that myself. I'm making sure I take my measurements every 2 weeks to see if I notice change x

Good on you for not putting it off starting. I'm on my 3rd week of SF now, it's my first ever try of this diet. I lost 3lb my 1st week but nothing my 2nd but I have lost some inches so I'm not giving up just yet. I know in the past doing sw I can loose a stone in 6 weeks so was hoping I'd be...

Yes please do I'm all for recycling lol :)

Week 3 day 1 Weigh day- No loss still 11.4lb Was a bit disappointed but due a visit from Mother Nature any day now so could be that. I've took my measurements (do this every 2 weeks) and I've lost 1/2inch of both arms and legs and 1 inch of waist so even though the scales didn't budge I'm...

Hi Kelly, good luck with your journey x

I'm boring and just throw mine

Week 2 day 7 B - shake S - SF BBQ snack L - shake S - corn on the cob D - lasagne with salad/ pud jelly and ice cream 560 Cals S - jelly & SF bar Water 2 litres Exercise non unless housework is counted ;)

I really feel for you, your going through so much at the moment and I hope everything starts to work out for you soon. Your little girl sounds lovely, very much like my little girl who's 6 she just wants to look after everyone to. As for weight loss I'm no expert otherwise I wouldn't have to...

I know how you mean about getting the determination it's took me a while. I've been trying to loose 2 stone since January 2012. I've always done slimming world from home and I found I'd loose a stone or so and then think I can eat a bit more of what I want so end up putting it back on then try...

Hi Andrea, didn't want to read an run but I'm not that clued up on SF. I'm very new to this diet but not dieting. I think if you consume 1200-1400 Cals a day you should loose weight no matter what way you do it. Obviously it should be as balanced as possible. I'm assuming the Cambridge shakes...

That's also good to know as I've been getting mine from superdrug as there all half price plus free delivery if you spend over £10 but that will prob end soon :)

Week 2 day 3 B - caramel shake (could drink all day long) S - SF bar L - vanilla shake (not a fan) S - SF bar D - cod with jacket potato, corn on the cob, side salad, 1tbsp light mayo, 30g soft cheese with garlic and herbs 472 Cals S - SF bar Water 2 litres Exercise non (very busy...

Hi, I remember seeing you about on the sw part of minimins as that's the diet I normally do. I can't offer much advice on SF as I only started last week and I've never done it before. The way I see it though when you do a SF day you are having between 1200-1400 Cals a day. So On the days you...

Well done you, that's great x

Hi Courtneysmummy I've been on slimfast a week and have lost 3lb so far. I've always done slimming world in the past but just kept eating and stopped syning things so I needed something a bit stricter. This is my first attempt at slimfast and I'm finding it ok at the moment. I bought myself 6...

Doesn't have to be fruit, maybe something like nuts or carrot sticks with a low cal dip. I bought the powders plus the ready made bottles for if I'm out and about. I've also purchased a shaker bottle thing of eBay. It has a compartment you can store your powder in but I normally make it up hours...

Week 2 day 1 B - shake S - weight watchers crisp L - shake S- SF bar T- asda ready meal chilli with wedges, side salad and corn on the cob 402 Cals S- mullerlight yoghurt, apple Water 2.5 litres Exercise dog walk

Think the main idea is to stick between 1200-1400 Cals per day. If your really hungry maybe have some fruit as that's not high in calories. I started using corn on the cob with a table spoon of light mayo for 1 off my snacks. It's under 100 Cals and fills me up better than a SF bar. My first...

Hi there, I'm new myself only started last week. As long as you make sure you consume at least 1200 calories per day for your body to function. I aim for 1300 a day if I'm under on my meal I will have an extra snack :)

Week 2 day 1 WEIGH IN 11st 4lb so 3lb loss for 1st week. Not updated diary for a few days as not had chance. Had a good first week been a couple of times I've gone to bed feeling a bit hungry but I think I need to make wiser choices for my main meal. I had hoped to loose a bit more as I know I...

Week 1 day 5 Had a crappy today so didn't feel like eating a full meal so just had more snacks and extra shake B - shake S - SF bar L - shake S - apple T - shake S - SF bar x 3 SF BBQ snack Exercise 30 dog walk Water 2.5 litres

Well done, that's fab :) Have you got much to loose to begin with. I'm trying to get an idea on what I could expect to loose. Normally I don't weigh mid week as I know it's not a true result but I had a sneaky peek today and I'm looking at 1lb if that :(

Week 1 day 4 B - shake S - SF bar D - shake S - SF bar T - fish, jacket potato and veg 465 Cals S - SF bar + SF crisp ( had extra snack as was a bit hungry last night, 1st time so far this week) Exercise 45 min dog walk Water 2.5 litres

Today so far so good, well it is only morning lol. Had my delivery today from superdrug was very pleased. All there sf products are half price so managed to get about 6 weeks worth of shakes/powders/bars/snacks for about £50. So there's my incentive to do this diet and stick with it for at...

Well done on loosing 2 stone that's fab. My aim is 2 stone ish to loose in full but aiming for as close to a stone for Xmas I can get. X

Hello everyone I started slim fast today and have decided to keep a diary in order to keep me motivated (fingers crossed). I have been loosing and replacing the same 2 stone for about 10 years now and it's getting a bit soul destroying. I've tried calorie counting and slimming world but always...

Thanks fairydust, think I might start a diary on the diary thread to try keep myself motivated :)

Hi all, after doing sw on and off for the past decade and not getting anywhere this year decided to try something new. I know sw works but I can't stick to it and I'm getting fed up with weighing and counting syns. Sf is completely new to me. I've never tried but I like the sound of it. I will...

Well done you look fab. I keep saying I'm going to do the shred again. Your results are the motivation I needed x

Today was week 6 weigh in. I've lost 7 1/2 lbs. coming off a lot slower than I'd like but at least it's going and not coming lol :)

Coco shredies with skimmed milk ( h/e a + b ) followed by an apple

Bangers and mash with carrots, onions in vinegar and a splash of gravy :)

2nd week of sts :(

I'm a lurker in this group but don't really comment. Think I was scared to admit to my addiction lol. I'm not as bad as I was when it comes to weighing I now just weigh daily first thing. My weight is up and down all the time. Here's my findings just for this week. Official weigh in Monday 28th...

It was the asda wholemeal pitta that was a h/e, don't know if it still is as I cancelled my online subscription just before Xmas :)

Lost 4lb this week bringing me to 11st 5lb. Glad its going the right way :)

4 1/2 lb off today. Can someone please update me. Thank you :)

I absolutely love the cookie and cream ones. The 2 finger kitkat works out about 6 syns but well worth it. :)

1st weigh in tonight lost 3lb, so now 11st 9lb :)

Had my first weigh in this morning and lost 3lb which I'm pleased with. Need to try and watch the syns this week as I might be going out Saturday for a mates bday so don't want to over indulge :)

Just made this for tea. Served with a garlic bread made from smash. It was lovely :)

Just had baked bean lasagne, it was yummy :)

Thanks for updating :)

Could someone please update me as I'm on my iPhone. My first weigh in this week and I lost 3lb. Thanks :)

3 rashers of bacon all fat removed, 2 eggs scrambled, melted cheese and tomato. Red day - 1 h/e A :)

I used the smash pizza base to make both. I used tomato purée and h/e chesse, onion and peppers for pizza. For the garlic bread I used a small smear of clover light and some garlic powder. It was lovely, and all free on green apart from the butter which was about 1 syn worth :)

Pizza, garlic bread and chips :)

Just found this in a sw mag October 2011. Sweets at 10 syns or lower. Hope you can see it :)

The sugar free werthers originals are 2 sweets for 1 syn. :)

Muller light with banana

I've seen crumpets are between 3 to 5 syns depending on which brand. They are not classed as a healthy extra so they go off the rule of 1 syn to every 20 calories. :)

I've got a crazy old english sheepdog called mavis who's 11 months. I was bought up with boy doggies so don't know if its because she's female but she just seems manic. Anyone who comes to house she believes are there just for her benefit, she starts fights with dogs on walks then legs it when...

Hi all I was in this group back in April and left in the July. After getting married in November, having a 2 week honeymoon and Xmas I went of the radar. I've joined sw again, this being my first week back with a start weight of 11st 12lb, hope to see them 10's again soon :)

I can put anything on up to 7lb but it normally the week before. I just expect to have gains the week before and during.

I had pork chops with a bit of apple sauce and melted cheese, sw chips and veg. It was sooo yummy :)

Thanks, need to diet :)

Could someone please add me. I'm going to aim for 8lb please. :)

^^^^ thanks, I know I need to get back into it properly. No excuses this time :)

Also need to upload a new ticker and details so ignore the one I have at the mo x

Hi not sure if anyone's still on here I used to chat to but I'm back again. A little bit about me I'm a full time mum of 4, I've just turned 30 and got married 8 weeks ago to my partner of 8 years. I have done sw on and off since about 2005. I was last on her giving it my all last year, where...

Looking at your sats you've done fantastic, you will be there sooner than you think xx

Weighed in lost 3lb so 10stone 10 and got my club 10. So good luck everyone and will see you in the 10's :)

3lb off for me taking me to 10stone 10 and got my club 10 wahoo. Good luck to everyone :)

I'm not looking forward to weigh in either. I know I've been good but you just never know. Plus I am a stress head, I'm not happy unless I'm worrying about something lol :)

Some people gain some people don't. I've done the shred twice the first time I didn't loose much weight but lost inches. The 2nd time I lost weight and inches. You should take measurements when doing the shred, I know it's nice to see the scale go down but I think it's nicer when you see the...

Thanks chuck. Well done on getting to day 8. Do you think you should go and see a dr about your knee as it keeps happening.

Well I started ripped in 30 did 3 days and then not been making the time to do it. Very preoccupied now not only is it my 30th on the 4th November the reason I'm trying to loose weight. Me and the other half have set our wedding date for the 2nd November so I really need to get my arse in gear...

Good luck x

Weighed in lost 1.5lb so got my 1st stone. Good luck everyone for today x

I to had a sneaky peek this morning was reading 10.13. I hope it still says that on Tuesday. Was lovely to see not seen that reading since August 2009 :)

Well I'm still here. Lost 2lb this week taking me to 11st 1lb. Hope to loose at least 2lb next week so I will have broke into the tens and will have lost my first stone :)

Lost 2lb this week so taken me to 11st 1lb. Only 1lb needed to have lost my first stone :) good luck to everyone x

Well done :)

evening ladies. Not sure where everyone's gone, hope I not on my own for to long will end up feeling like billy no mates lol. Well I started ripped in 30 today and I actually enjoyed it. I was able to do all of it without passing out. Think doing the 30 day shred has helped a great deal. My plan...

Thank you. I was very pleased with myself. :)

Still here. Had a 1lb loss this week taking me to 11st 3lb. Them 10's are so near yet seem so far :)

1lb off for me this week :)

My last weigh in for this month and lost a lb. didn't make my 10lb target managed 7lb which I'm pleased with :)

Morning everyone a 1lb loss for me this week. Good luck to all :)

All done and dusted with the shred wahoo. Never thought I would see the end. Here are my results....... Lost 11lb in weight from 12st to 11st 3lb Tops of arm were 14 inch now 13 inch.total 2 inc Forearm were 11 inch now 10.5 inch total 1 inch Thighs were 25 inch now 23.5 inch total 3...

That's brill, well done :)

Level 3 day 7 only 3 more days to go :)

Welcome back, hope you had a fab time. Sorry to hear about your ankle sure you will be back shredding in no time.

No backing out for me. Just been on eBay a bought the set killer buns and thighs and ripped in 30. Going to start these as soon as I finish the shred. Will prob do alternate days so will prob be doing them for 60 days (gosh I'm feeling brave) so it will equal 30 days each. My aim is to start...

I've just been on amazon reading reviews on jillian micheals DVDs, didn't realise she had done so bloody many. I've got to thinking now rather than do the shred again I think I'm going to purchase some new DVDs and give them a whirl. I've noticed her killer buns and thighs which sounds fab to me...

No I would get far to bored plus when I did it in the past I had more inch loss after level 2. I'm just going to do day 1 level 1 day 2 level 2 day 3 level 3 day 4 level 1 and so on. Think this way my body won't get to use to doing the same thing.

Good luck, you will begin to enjoy it. Honest.

I can't sorry lol. It's better than level 2 in my opinion but everyone's different. I like it as there not loads of leg work which I hate.

Level 3 day 6 only 4 more left :)

Level 3 day 5 done, 5 more days to go until I start all over again.

Yes I'm still shredding on day 5 level 3 so nearly done. I'm due star week this week so that could be another reason as I can normally put on at least 4lb

Lost 0.5lb this week. Only got 1 weigh in left for this challenge with 4lb to go, so doubt I will be hitting my June target.

Well done to all. I lost a whole 0.5 lb this week lol but guess im still going in the right direction :)

Lost 0.5 lb this week. Was hoping for more but I guess a loss is a loss.

Wow that's fab :)

Well done. I did level 3 day 3 last night and even though I sweated buckets and my arms were like jelly after trying to copy nat all the way through I actually enjoyed it.

Hi there and welcome. The first few days are a killer on every level i find but it does get better. I know exactly how it is with the dog situation mines the same. :)

Hi I love the shred you really do see results. I had the DVD up until my 4 yr old decided to shove it in the wii while there was my Zumba game in there. So it's well and truly jammed in. Luckily though I found level 1, 2 and 3 on YouTube so I just put my iPhone on the fireplace and do it that way.

Didn't up date for yesterday. Just done day 2 level 3. Wow I forgot how the change over from levels plays havoc for the first few days. Still prefer it to level 2. Must admit tho being due on feeling bloated and tired and having a cut in the middle of my palm is not helping me at the mo :)

Or I like these at 2.5 - 3 syns. There on offer in co-op for a £1 which is even better.

When I'm sat alone at the night and the kiddies are in bed that's where my craving begin. My favourite sweet fix at the moment is chopped banana with half a tub of vanilla mullerlight sprinkled with a double choc alpen light and a drizzle of golden syrup. Pretty good for 1/2 h/e B and 0.75 syn...

Will do. Will prob be crying on here Tomo crying about the pain lol

Day 10 level 2 done so level 3 Tomo

Luckily I don't have that prob with mine as he works away. Only have to put up with him 1 night a week. My put offs are the 4 gremlins and my 4 month old English sheepdog Mavis, she is worse than anyone. I try and put her behind the safety gate so I can bond with Jilly, Ali and nat but she just...

Glad to hear it. Enjoy your jollys. I should finish the shred the 24th. So should be starting round 2 the 25th and this time try and copy Natalie as much as possible. At least you won't be on your own doing it lol :)

What a fantastic loss, well done you :)

Way to go Lady T, I bet your over the moon :)

Level 2 day 9 done. Can't believe how quick it's gone. Will be starting level 3 on Friday :)

Enjoy your holiday and hope you leg gets better so you can join us all again soon x

Well done everyone and good luck for next week :)

Welcome, you will love it here. Lots of help and support. Good luck with your journey :)

Lol, similar to what my Mavis does. She normally tries to run off with my dumbbells. What a stunning dog by the way :)

I agree with kayla. The last thing you want to do is cause damage that will keep you off your feet for weeks on end :(

Level 2 day 8 done wahoo the end is nigh :)

Thanks :)

Thank you. Yes I am pleased so far but I know by week 5 + my loss really slows and it's normally 1/2 lb here and there or sts. Still a long way to go but hope I've reached my goal of 9 1/2 stone for my 30th in November :)

Thank you. I'm sure you will be fine. It's mad how we get ourselves in these states over standing on a set of scales lol :)

Managed a 2 1/2 lb loss this week so a total of 9 1/2 lb in 3 weeks :)

2 1/2 lb off for me :)

2 1/2 lb off this week :)

Down 2 1/2 lb this week taking me to 11.4 :)

2 1/2 lb off for me please :)

Got weigh in Tomo so hoping for a loss. I took my measurements today so thought would compare as I'm about half way through from the start. The measurement are also including kettleworx and slimming world. Left arm top was 14inch now 13 inch Left forearm was 11 inch now 10.5 inch Right arm top...

I really did prefer level 3. I've just had a sneaky peek to remind me and I think it still looks better than level 2 especially if I stick with Alison lol

Good luck everyone for Tomo. I'm so nervous and I don't know why as I've been good as gold. Will be weighing first thing so hope to come on here and report a loss :)

Level 2 day 7 done. Still sweating like a bush pig so it must be doing something :)

God I measure everything both arms top and forearm, both thighs and calfs, waist, stomach, hips, bum, under chest and over chest. When you do it this way the results seem amazing lol. I've lost in total 18.5 inches but if I measured what you do would prob be the same as you. Hope the support...

Where is it you measure? Just a few areas or all of them

Well done I've just done level 2 day day 6 and I feel so much better for it :)

It's called kettleworx you want to look at the thread on here secret to shaping up, gives you more of an idea about it or google the kettleworx website. On what I've read on weight loss it does take time for your skin to catch up with weight loss. Just found this bit on info on google...

The DVD set I've got is 3 DVDs cardio, core and resistance and 2 additional 10 min programmes fast abs and fat burn. The idea Is you do it for 6 weeks 3x per week. Each DVD is 20 mins and you split them over the week I.e Monday cardio, Wednesday core, Friday resistance. The other 2 can be done...

** correction **the threads called secret to shaping up. The lady kron lost 3 1/2 stone and went from a 16 to a 6 in six months of sw and kettlebells x

That's what I was looking at doing. Repeat it but do a different level everyday to shake me body up. I was going to buy the ripped DVD but the reviews I've read you don't seem to loose as much as the shred, so goin to stick with the shred till I can master all 3 levels copying Natalie without...

Level 2 day 4 all done. Never had so many sweat beads think I've lost all water I have in my body through my head lol :)

Glad your back ready to join us all on this wonderful adventure lol. Don't worry to much about the gain as it could be water retention or something from that massive huge walk you did. Just keep measuring your inches as if you see a change there that's what counts more xx

Ha ha. I've been doing kettleworx as well hoping to get faster results. It has really good reviews as well.

I know it's like a strange addiction lol. My problem areas my thighs I hate them. I'm pear shaped so all my weight goes straight on my bum and thighs and it's the last bloody place to loose it from. My tummys not great but don't think it's to bad after having 4 kiddies and the last 2 were only...

Day 3 level 2 all done :)

Level 2 day 3 done :)

I had a feeling you wouldn't lol. When you start level 2 just copy Anita as there's not as much impact on your knees. As for the cardio theres jump rope and jump twists which I find after a bit hurts my knees and ankles, so what I do is just jog on the spot less strain and your still moving :)

Here here, lol. We will let Jill kick our butts and get to target wahoo. I've got my 30th in November and I'm determined to look the bell of the ball lol :)

Wow that's a lot of running. I use to do cross country running many moons ago and we would do 2 mile runs. I couldn't do that now never mind 5 miles :) x

What exercise do you do? X

Sorry don't want to pee on your parade lol but I think level 2 is bad on the legs as you do use them a lot. Think while your knee is the way it is when you hit level 2 just follow Ali. I know what you mean about getting to target. I've not been at my target weight since 2007 and I'm determined...

Day 2 level 2 done and dusted. I didn't think I could change colour the way I did. Went from pink to red to purple in about 10 minutes lol. My 5 yr old kept saying mummy your very sweaty lots and lots sweaty. :)

Just go steady the last thing you want is to be off your feet for a while due to injury. Must admit your one tough cookie :)

Day 1 of level 2 done. Wasn't that bad. I thought after 3 days of no exercise due to being ill it would kill me but nope I'm still here :) saying that prob won't be able to move Tomo lol ;)

Thanks miss corset. My battered scales were only showing a 1lb loss which I was quite gutted about as I know I've ate really good all week and every time I join sw I always loose 8lb in the first 2 weeks than take for ever for the rest lol. Used my sisters scales as we both record are weight...

Hi all 3lb loss today taking me to 11.7 wahoo. The tens are getting nearer x

Can I change it to a 3lb loss my scales were playing up this morning giving lots of different readings. I've just used the other set I use and there giving a 3lb loss which I'm taking as I believe them to be more correct. ;) thanks x

Well I lost more. My scales were playing up this morning when I got my 1lb loss as they kept giving different results. At first i was 11.9 then i was 13.13 then i was 11.7 then 11.11 as there on there way out. I've rushed up to my sisters and used hers as we weigh together at hers on a Tuesday...

I've lost 1lb :)

I've lost 1lb this week :)

Good luck everyone for Tomo. :)

I've not shredded since Friday. I was due to start level 2 on Saturday but have been struck down with tonsillitis and feel really rough. My neck has swelled up twice the size and I'm finding it hard work just trying to breath and swallow properly. Hope to try and start it later on depending how...

Well done, rest up till you feel ready. The last thing you need is to rush and get an injury xx

To be honest I did the the 30 day in December and I actually found level 3 much easier than level 2. If your ok with level 2 there no need to worry for level 3 :)

Im still to start level 2 today but keep putting it off as I'm so tired today but I know what you mean about having breaks I find it really hard to get into it again :)

Well done :)

Must note i an also doing the 6 week kettle worx programme as well xx

10 day result 0.5 left arm (top) 0.5 inch right arm (top) 0.5 inch left forearm 0.5 inch right forearm 0.5 inch left calf. 0.5 inch right calf 1 inch left thigh 1 inch right thigh 3 inch waist (above belly button) 4 inch stomach (across belly button) 1.5 inch bum. 1.5 inch hips 2 inch...

Day 10 done :)

Day 9 done. Still get a sweat on but not in pain anymore :)

Odd as you would think it would be more level 2. If I remember rightly I mostly sat and watched level 2 even tho Jillian says not for more than 5 secs lol :)

When I last did it and had done level 2 I was dreading level 3 thinking no Jill your going to kill me, I was pleasantly surprised. I see level 3 to be on a similar par with level 1 but its seems better as you've had 20 days to prepare. Through reading reviews on the net most people have the most...

Wow now that is some walk. Your braver than me. I walk my dog about 2 miles a day and I find that tiring enough lol. Good luck with your walk and keep us all posted how you get on. We will still be here when your ready to start again ( hopefully with not to many horror story's about level 2 lol)...

Thought might be interesting :)

First time round I didn't have weights so just used tins of beans so don't think it's the end of the world. Also if you use tins this time then decide to complete it again then you could get weights for the 2nd round to give your body an extra push. That's how I've done it. Must admit I did...

It is norm not to notice much change in weight its more inches. The last time I did it I didn't loose weight till the 2nd week and when i completed it all in all it was 8lb i lost and think it was about 16 inches in total. I've been told muscle doesn't actually weigh more than fat as a lb is a...

Yeah go me lol. I bet when I get my DVD back and it's time for level 2 I will be no where near as dedicated. I can still remember it :)

How brave are you lol. I'm sticking with the Anita version. I have had really bad aches in my legs but they gone now. Found having baths really helped x

Panic over I have done day 8. Put my i pod on had my alarm clock and did it from memory. Can't believe I remembered it all lol. Feel I worked better on me own than with Jillian ( sorry Jill ) got a right sweat on. Need me cold shower now xx

Ment to be doing day 8 but my wonderful 4 yr old had other plans. After hunting high and low for my DVD he informed me he put in the wii ( which already had a disc in ) so it's well and truly jammed in. So no shred or wii until Friday when the man of the house is home to rescue me. I'm actually...

Jacket potato filled with Philadelphia with salad and baked beans :)

It's a DVD by Jillian michaels ( the biggest loser) its has 3 levels 1-3 and you work you way through for the 30 days. You begin at level 1 and work up. Most people do 10 days at each level. Each work out is 20 minutes long which consists of a 2 minute warm up, three 6 minute circuits which...

Wow well done you :)

I'm old school, I've never even tried E/E. I stick to what I know which is red and green. I have always found I loose more on red but having to do a lot of green at the mo as my cookers packed up so only got a microwave to use lol :)

I know the feeling, I have my 5 year old daughter thinking she's jillian, every 2 mins she's saying now puff out air, make your legs straight, quick lie down lie down lol :)

I do feel jealous of there surroundings when I watch it, all that space in a lovely air conditioned room with there comfy mats. I have a small living room with me sweating before it starts as its such a warm house with 4 kids running around and lying on the floor and a puppy nipping my ankles...

I was actually thinking of staying on level 1 the whole 30 days lol. Must admit when I last did it I actually found level 3 easier than level 2 ( level 2 is the devil. :)

Dont be gutted you sound like you are doing well. On my star weeks I can gain up to 4lb on average then it's gone the week after. Also doing lots of exercise can show slow loses on the scales but lots of lost inches on the measuring tape. :) x

Thanks xx

Hi everyone I was in this group back in 2011 and fell off the wagon big time after Xmas. I restarted last week weighing 12 stone. Today was wi day and have lost 4lb my first week m, so I'm now 11st 10lb. Xx

Day 7 completed. It's getting better x

Just been looking at my results from the first time I did it in December. In the first week i put on 1lb and lost 4 inches by week 2 I had lost 1 lb and an extra 3 inches. So it does work :) xx

Well done you, I've just measured I've lost 5 inches so far so were on the right track xx

My first week lost 4lb, good luck to everyone xx

When doing 30 day shred your best looking at inches instead off weight loss. I measure every body part weekly as its gives an incentive to keep going even if the scales are not budging. I know theres that debate on does muscle weigh more than fat ( which I don't agree ) muscle is denser so a lb...

I've just weighed in lost 4lb, was to be expected as I always have a bigger loss my first week then it's dribs and drabs lol. Good luck for weigh in xx

I must admit finding it harder this time round. When I did it back in December I seemed to really enjoy it and didn't struggle to much. This time round finding it harder with bad aches in my legs and it doesn't seem as fun. Probably just me being lazy and this weather not helping. I'm sure I...

Day 6 completed, wahoo nearly a week of exercise lol xx

Hi there and welcome. I also started at 12 stone and have my first weigh in Tomo ( gulp ). I to have longed to see the scales hit the 10 stone mark. The nearest I got was in January 2012 at 11 stone but I made the mistake of giving up and shot to 12 again. In the past 10 stone was all I would...

My arms are not to bad, but I am used to lugging 4 kiddies about all the time. Now my legs on the other hand big OW I can do the jumping jacks but I get so much pain on the jumping rope bit through my calfs I just stick to jumping jacks. On day 5 now and still got horrible aches in my thighs...

I've just done day 4 and I'm finding my calfs to be aching the whole time. I guess due to the fact I've done no exercise since December is probably why this is. Good luck to everyone x

Hi can I join please. Only just restarted sw weigh in on Tuesday. I will go for 10lb as know I have managed that amount in the past. X

Could I please join in. I'm on day 3 of the shred which I have just done and it's really not the weather for exercise. I did complete 30 day shred before Xmas. I lost 8lb and 2-3 inches off all body parts, I was also doing Zumba on my wii. Must admit this time I'm finding it a lot harder think...

Hi Ive just done day 2 and ow my legs lol. I did complete the shred in December. I lost 8lb and 2-3 inches off every part of body so was very pleased. I was combing it with Zumba on my wii x

Welcome and good luck, your in the best place for help and support x

Also sainsburys be good to yourself extra lean Cumberland sausages are 0.5 syn on extra easy/original x

In the magazine it shows sainsburys be good to yourself quarter pounder beef burgers with onions. You get 4 they cost £2.49 and are 1 syn per burger on extra easy/original. Also there is quorn ones that have no syns. Hope that helps x

Mines quite boring. A vanilla mullerlight and an alpen light.

Im finding my legs to be stiff today but need to push myself to do day 2. Once I get back into exercise I actually enjoy it, it's just that getting back in to it I don't like lol x

I started the 30 day shred yesterday as well lol. I completed it the first time before x mas lost 8lb and 2-3 inches off every part of my body so it is good. I was also doing Zumba on my wii. In the new year I decided to give kettle bells a go only did a couple of weeks so didn't notice much...

You are exactly the same as me. I always think oh a week off won't do any harm, before I know it that weeks turned into a month then 3 months and so on. Yes you keep reading that book lots of inspiration needed. Maybe start up a new thread we can both put tips, food diarys, exercise done, wi...

Thanks, good luck to us all for next Tuesday xx

Hi could I please join this group. I started sw this Tuesday and I weigh at home. I'm an online member as with 4 kids and a puppy going to group is out of the question. I'm not new to sw have been doing it on and off for about 8 years. My most recent history being I joined in June 2011...

Morning everyone I'd like to join the group please. I started sw ( again ) this week so could do with support. I'm an online member due to 4 kids and a puppy so can't ever get to a group lol xx

I would love to offer you lots of great advice but the truth is you sound similar to myself. I have been doing sw on and off for about 8 yrs. think it says it all as I keep coming back lol. My most recent history was starting June 2011 weighing 13 stone I stuck to it for a whole 9 weeks and...

Well done everyone. I've had a sts 2 weeks running still don't get why as it's 8400 per week for me to loose 2lb. The first week I had 7389 cals the 2nd 8900 so don't get it. Wi tomo if I sts I will scream lol xx

My fitness pal says 1200 a day to loose 2lb a week. I don't seem to stick to intake day by day I do it weekly. I allow myself between 8400 to 9000 net calories a week. Doing this I have lost 8lb in 10 weeks and that includes the break I had over the Xmas period. Good luck x

Sts for me bloody gutted as I have been good. Guess as I lost 4lb last week body won't let me loose this week x well done to everyone on here you've all done fab xxx

That's like mine and he is a very very fussy eater. Don't get me wrong he does prefer mince to the quorn but he will happily eat a meal I've made with the quorn. I find if you put in a bit of liquid bovril it gives it a beefy taste. X

Completed week 1 of kettleworx, bring on week 2 lol x

I got them off amazon but it was in dec so guessing they must of been on offer. I will have a look about and let you know if I find any as I'm known for finding bargains. X

To make it a bit cheaper I got the six DVD set rather than the ten and bought a 5lb kettle bell separate. It was £40 for the DVD set which is the 6 week program and the bell is a Lonsdale one which cost me £5 in the sale x

Thanks for the advice, I will try and be brave lol x

Wow done you have all done fab. I had a sneaky peek on scales this morning (bad I know) but it's saying 11.7 so that would mean another 2lb on from last week. Really don't get it as just before Xmas I lost a lb everyweek for about 8 weeks. Had 1 full week off over Xmas where I didn't count but...

I got the 6 week kettleworx programe for Xmas and started it on Monday. I did the cardio one and Omg the day after I felt it. I'm ment to be doing one today but I'm in a lot of pain still ESP when sitting in the backs of my thighs. Is this normal? I have not done any exercise at all over Xmas...

Well I weighed in this morning and have gained 3lb. I am putting that down to Xmas period as I last weighed in new yrs eve with a sts and knew that was not really possible, ESP as I just ate and ate all that week. Fingers crossed i will have a good loss next week. Well done to everyone on here...

I've just worked out my bmr which is 2059. I think I might try and be brave and increase them a little higher than my usual 1200 to see if it makes a difference. For the past 6 weeks I have kept to 1200 a day and lost 6lb but I'm thinking I've still got nearly 2 stone to go till target and once...

Also was wondering if anyone on here nets 1200 calories to loose 2lb a week but always looses less. X

I felt a bit like that counting the syns and h/e and was always writing down and adding up what I had ate. I mean sw does work as I've lost weight on it and know lots of other people have but I just got bored and started feeling restricted. But guess everyones different and what suits one person...

Well done to everyone so far. Hope I get a result on my Saturday morning weigh but not to sure as I had a sts last week and belive that should really of been a gain as I was a proper little miss piggy over Xmas. I agree with what peeps are saying about Mfp it's been a god send to me. After...

I'm a picker but I enter everything that goes in my mouth on Mfp. I find some days if I've snacked a bit more than intended I will have a smaller meal or go for something low in calories. Also if I go over my net calories I will try and get on the Wii or go on a walk so I feel I'm still in...

Hi all i would like to tag along please. Give up these past 2 weeks so need to get back into it. At the moment i seem to loose 1lb a week so i will aim for 4lbs as i weigh on a saturday i have 4 weigh ins to go. xx Bostik: 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go) Donzy84: 7lbs (s down, 7lbs to go)...

I started using quorn mince when I got into sw and I wouldn't be without it now. The first time I tried it I was a bit ok not great but then the more I used it I actualy now prefer in to proper mince. I use it in spag Bol, lasagne, cottage pie etc. If I'm making a spag Bol I just throw it in my...

Got up extra early and completed my last 2 sessions wahoo. Was so determined to get it finished before Xmas as I got kettleworx 6 week programe off oh for Xmas and want to start that the 27th. Will be back to show my updated measurements xxx

Session 25 level 3 done. Wahoo can see the end in sight. Aim to have done all 30 sessions by Saturday. Saturday is Wi day so can update my weight and measurements all in one xx

To be honest im really enjoying level 3. I've found it easier than level 2. There is planking but they don't seem as bad. The worst bit for me is the jumping lunges but I only manage a few and then start copying the easier way lol xx
