PHOTOCOPY them 10 times, frame them, hang them on the wall then stick one to your OH's forehead for good measure :)

I know :( I find out tomorrow if I'm getting a payrise, the brown stuff hit the fan yesterday, haha! Fingers crossed being caught out makes them generous!

Dear company owners I have worked bloody hard over the last few months, just as hard as my manager (she has also said this). Giving her a £4000 pay rise and giving me nothing because I mentioned 2 months ago that my OH had applied for a job in Northern Ireland is not fair, and has in fact...

This could have been ME writing this... Our kittens do exactly the same! We've started shutting them out of the bedroom at night but now Loujon just sits outside the door and miaows until we relent!! And when I say miaow... I mean "MMMIIIAAAAAOOOOW!!" and it gets louder and longer until we give...

Ah of course it is!!! Its so obvious now you've said it... I was racking my brains and I could not for the LIFE of me think what it meant!! Thank you :)

Sorry for the silly question... But what's LD?

No, thankfully I came home to a real man who is disgusted and ready to kill!! Thank you for the hug too, it's just one of those situations that's not very nice to be in! Xxx

To the middle aged, bald, short man in a convertible jaguar... Calling a complete stranger a fat ugly c**t at the top of your voice and repeating it several times is not polite. In fact it is distinctly upsetting to the person whose car window you are shouting it through, particularly when they...

I haven't done it in 2 weeks!!! :O Gonna start again tomorrow from level 1, day 1... Gonna stick with it this time 100%!

1lb off this week for me!! Very happy with it as I was expecting a gain!

Forgot to update on Saturday so I do apologise! I stayed the same... Think there will be a SIGNIFICANT gain tomorrow as I've been off plan for about a week and half!! :(

Only half a pound off this week - still a loss though, haha!

Also, dear client... I am not your skivvy, there are 180 people on our system, get a calculator and work out your own sodding costings!!!!

Dear prospective "clients", If you book an appointment please arrive at the stated time. If you are going to be late please at least have the decency to ring and let us know that you are going to be late. If you DO lose the ability to use a phone then please be courteous enough to APOLOGISE...

Honk for today!!!

Good luck everyone!!! I'm having a complete 'mare... It's * week this week so all I want is sugar... Then on Monday it's my birthday and we have loads of things planned involving eating out - I weigh in on Saturdays so I don't think I'll be making my target until the end of the month, haha!!!

I would do melon to start, hunters chicken with new potatoes and veg for main, and a chocolate mousse to finish - you mix together quark and fromage frais and add a highlights to it - pop some strawberries on the top and you're away!

pull up a chair!!! :D I'm finding it VERY easy this time as I'm in charge of the cooking in our house, I'm losing 1.5lbs a week which, although isn't as much as I'd like, is still a step in the right direction!!! The support on here has been really helpful to me this time around - make the...

Everyone's done so well this week, congratulations guys! I'm feeling a bit more confident about my place here now having lost another 1.5lbs this week, i was only here by 0.5lbs last week, haha! It's coming off slowly but surely, every step is a step down... Good luck for the coming week...

I'm having chicken in a marinade of honey, soy sauce, Chinese 5 spice, mild chilli powder & tomato purée - I'm serving it with vegetable rice... Nom nom nom :)

Hunters chicken again tonight - just because it was so good the other night and mum and dad are coming over for dinner so I want them to try it! Then I've made chocolate mousse for dessert using fromage frais, natural yoghurt and highlights :)

I find it much harder in the morning as I tend to set my alarm for 6, jump straight out of bed then do the exercise - for some reason, after a full day at work I find it much easier plus I'm more motivated too! Very strange! Stick with it, it'll be worth it in the end! Xx

Hunters chicken tonight with mash and veg :)

I'll save you a seat and a glass of extra dry martini and lemonade - only 2.5 syns, haha!

:wavey: Same here!!!! I've given instructions to get the jacket potatoes on and very EXPLICITLY simple instructions on temperatures and times etc... OH is very busy and stressed at work at the moment so if he remembers i'll be shocked!!

I'm doing it alone this time round too... because i'm not living at home now and i'm cooking all our meals i'm finding it much easier to do - i was bad at points last week (completely off plan!) but i've put it down to easing myself in gently again, haha! I'm doing a lot more exercise this time...

I missed 4 days :eek: and started again yesterday, i'm counting today as Day 5 though... I don;t think it's going to make a HUGE amount of difference to the inch loss - however, the 4 day break REALLY had an effect on my fitness, i had just been getting used to the level of energy required but...

Honk so far - 7 syns and tonight's dinner is Joes burgers with jacket potato and salad so no pesky syns there!

Hi ladies and gents, after a 1.5lb first week loss (diappointing but i was naughty so it was to be expected, haha!) I've managed to nudhge my way into here by half a pound, yay! Hoping for around a 3lb loss this week, i'm doing the 30 day shred as well as the plan so fingers crossed!!! Good luck...

Well after WI yesterday I've just nudged into the 16's by half a pound so I'll see you guys really soon! Xx

Joes beef burgers tonight with jacket potatoes and salad :)

Me too!!! And no syns as yet either! But only because I can't find how many syns a large chocolate chip snack a jack is, haha! :D

Day 4 today after a 4 day break... Never again!!! I have now realised that I need to do it every day if I'm going to get fit, haha! I use little 1.5kg weights, I'm working on building up for the next level, or even if I feel level one getting too easy (yeah right, haha!)

Oh no!!! Me and my bad maths, it was only 1.5lbs, haha!! Still a loss though :D

Chinese chicken noodles tonight using the Joes Chinese chicken :)

Thank you! Xx

Ugh, I've been bad over the last few days and had some wobbles, I hadn't done 30 day shred since Wednesday! Thankfully I've still managed to lose 2.5lbs!! I'm a bit disappointed as I know in my first couple of weeks I can usually hit the 5lb loss mark!! BUT, im going to be positive, it's still a...

Oooh yes please, I love a good challenge! I'm on my phone too so could somebody please add me for 7lbs? May is going to be a really tough month for me, it's mine and my partners birthday AND our 3 year anniversary! And if I get the nice big diamond sparkler I've been hoping for there will be...

Good Evening all! I apologise if this has been done before, I did a quick search and couldn't find it... I'm on my phone though which makes it a bit more difficult to work my away around the site! Anyway... I have a recipe for tonight which says you need quark but I forgot to buy it!! I do...

Syn free chicken korma tonight and last night was chicken in the FITTEST marinade of soy sauce, chilli powder, chinese 5 spice seasoning, honey and tomato purée!! It was amazing!!!

I can't do the crossover crunches either, I don't seem to have the co-ordination for it, haha! I just stick to normal crunches instead, that way I know I'm doing SOMETHING xx

I'm on day 5 and it's more an ache than the horrendous pain every time I moved, haha! I feel it in my thighs more than anywhere else!!

Honk!!! Back on the wagon after I fell off it yesterday :D

I split the order with my friend this week, I was disappointed at the amount of pork sausage meat you get for what you pay!!! But then I am RUBBISH at picturing portion sizes, haha! Also ordered some burgers and the Chinese chicken things... Will be trying them next week, if my OH likes them...

This wasn't so much a wobble as a massive rocking motion, haha!!! But as you said, I'm not completely off the wagon yet... I've resisted attacking the ice cream drawer in the freezer! Bring on tomorrow :D

Dear Loujon & Bijou... i love you dearly and I know you're only 8 month old kittens but PLEASE stop crying outside our bedroom door at night to get in... Mummy needs her sleep, especially when she has to get up at 6am to go to work!! And to my wonderful (most of the time) boyfriend, please do...

Had a REALLY bad day today so I've certainly scuppered any hope of saying goodbye to the 17's this week I think! Still, tomorrow is another day :)

Aww, I'm pleased for you! I had a BAD day today, I'm completely off the wagon!!! I slept really badly last night so I was tired and grumpy, and that made me crave all sorts of naughty things!!! So I gave in, THEN I didn't do my 30 day shred because I'm so tired and don't have the energy...

I'm making Sticky Chicken tonight - in my mind it's going to be the most delicious meal I've ever had on a Thursday night... Let's hope the reality matches up, haha!

Hi there! I'm doing Slimming World, and it is AMAZING, when I started last year i lost 10.5lbs in my first 2 weeks! Unfortunately I went on holiday in April of last year and since then have put on all the weight i lost plus more so I'm back again to get it off once and for all!!! Slimming World...

Same here!!! Roll on Monday!!! :clap:

That's the false sense of security - I had that on Monday then when i woke up yesterday morning my legs had muscles i didn;t even know existed, haha!! And today was WORSE!!! But it's all for a good cause....

Thanks Donna! Today has been an ok day, I decided to swap my 2 weetabix breakfast for a muller light and banana and i've been regretting it all day! I've completed Day 3 of 30 day shred and EVERYTHING is burning, haha!!! Still enjoying the challenge though so let's hope it pays off!!

Well done you... that's brilliant!

It's a well known fact that healthy eating and exercise are the best things for weight loss and i'm happy to stick with it... there is SUCH a huge range of products out there though that it just made me wonder if people are nudging the process along a bit... I'm more comfortable with sticking to...

I tried the whole "wholemeal bread" thing today too, i just can't STAND it!!! It tasted like cardboard :( I had a good day today too, though i didnt have weetabix for breakfast like I have done the last 2 days and i found myself VERY hungry so i'm starting to work out what works well and what...

Level 1, Day 3 today!! My thighs hurt every time I stand up or sit down... I really hope all this pain leads to a difference in the way i look, haha!!!

I trust the plan too - I was just curious as to whether or not anyone else was doing anything extra on top of it... I've lost weight with SW before with no pills or potions so I'm sure this time will be the same!! Fingers crossed anyway, haha!

Evening guys and gals! I was just wondering if anyone is doing anything else with the SW plan for that extra boost, such as taking Adios or herbal teas or any other supplements. And if so, is it helping? I'm just following the Extra Easy plan and doing some exercise but I was in the supermarket...

Hi Emma, Thanks, I think I might just join you over there!! I've been feeling super motivated over the last 2 days and I've enjoyed trying out a couple of recipes from the SW books too! My OH is being super supportive too and hasnt moaned once about the fact I've decided we're going to eat...

I'm glad the first day went well - yesterday and today have been good for me too - I've done 2 days of 30 day shred and stuck religiously to Slimming World! I'm allowing myself 10 syns per day if I want them, and touch wood, knowing I'm not really denying myself anything is keeping me on track -...

Look, if you can't have chocolate as a treat then you deserve a treat elsewhere... why not make it him? ;)

Wow - everyone in here is doing so well, what an inspiration! I'm back after a year's break and extra 2 stone weight gain!! :O I'm looking to lose about 5.5stone, 6 if i can manage it!! Good Luck to everyone else here on your downhill journeys!

Evening all - day 1 today and i'm 17st 1lb so i'm hoping i'll only be here for a week or so based on previous attempts at SW... although i'm not going to group i'm following the plan and hoping that there'll be as much support here as there is at group so it won't matter too much! Will be...

Thankfully it wasn't the elastic of my size 20-22 Asda smart price knickers!!! You see, I don't spend money on nice underwear anymore - whats the point, it's not like i'm doing a sexy strip tease for my boyfriend every night!! That's a sight that frankly, nobody should be subjected to!! :eek...

Hi Cara... I've started again today too after a year away from ANY form of healthy eating or exercise. I have WAY more to lose than you but I seem to hit the same wall after the first fortnight! From my personal view, Slimming World has been the best eating plan for me, last year i lost 10.5lbs...

Started today... Level 1 day 1!! It was HELL!! But this is all about steps in the right direction so at least i'm now on the road to being "shredded!!" The aim is 10 days at Level 1 but during that time building up to the more advanced exercises within the level, then 10 days at Level 2, etc...

Hi everyone, hope you're all well... I was doing SW in January last year until April and managed to lose nearly a stone and a half, unfortunately I went on holiday then didn't go back and surprise surprise, the weight went back on plus another 2 stone! So now, at my heaviest with a weight loss...

Thanks so much - I managed to resist all the sweet stuff and filled up with pasta salad... Going to try the chocolate truffles this week! Thanks again for the suggestions :)

Help please!!! Planning a picnic for tomorrow and all I can think of are crisps and chocolate! Someone please slap me into the fruit zone, haha! Serious panic alert... :)

Hi all, well done on your weight losses! I had 3lbs off last night, which got rid of the last bit of 5lb gain from 3 weeks ago thank goodness!

Bit late... I had 0.5 off this week... Really pleased as I was expecting a gain. Mini target of 2lbs this week!

Lost 2.5lbs this week - half of last week's gain gone, thank goodness! Would have liked more, but then I'm sure everyone thinks that no matter HOW much they lose, haha!

yay, well done!!!

i ordered this the other night, i'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of it... just a quick question, you guys have been mentioning weights - do i need to go out and buy some weights or will a couple of tins of something suffice as they do with Davina? :character00116: I'm intending to do it during...

They really are - I just threw them in a choccie cake tonight and it was bearable but I could still taste them, haha!

Good luck guys!! Really hoping to get rid of some of that HORRIBLE 5lb gain from last week! Is * week too which won't help but I've been soooooooooo good that hopefully it will all balance out. Looking forward to seeing everyones progress tomorrow :)

My partner was shocked when I told him I was 15st 11.5lbs when I started SW, but he's a wee bit overweight too so it didn't worry him too much - also I'm obviously a bit lighter now and that's the heaviest I've ever been!

My weigh ins are on a Wednesday and if I fall off the plan it's always at weekends - if I'm bad on the Friday and Saturday it shows up that Wednesday usually - there's only been one week where I consumed 2 bottles of wine, a pizza and a garlic bread on the Saturday and somehow still had a loss...

i did exactly the same last week, we were out straight from work on Friday so grabbed a burger from a burger van on the way home, saturday we were out shopping and had a burger king, sunday the meat for dinner hadn't defrosted in time to cook so we went out and got pizza :break_diet: - * week...

I want to lose weight because i'm sick of feeling frumpy all the time, i don't be to be the "big bubbly girl" any more, i want to buy nicer clothes, and, although my partner says he loves me no matter how I look, i would rather look in the mirror and like what i see and know HE finds it dead...

It's in the Extra Easy cookbook - you use coriander and cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, parsley and EIGHT garlic cloves!

I want to lose 4st... it feels like SOOO much to me but i'm being inspired by everyone else on here and the people in my group - i'm determined to get there this time!

Count me in - i could have used it last week, i fell off the wagon AWFULLY and gained 5lbs! am into week 10 and REALLY struggling so i'll make sure i get on here when i'm feeling the urge to eat Burger King again on a Saturday afternoon shopping trip!!

Hi all, just a quick question, i'm planning on doing the chermoula chicken at the weekend, but i was just wondering, what does it actually taste like flavourwise? is it like honey glazed chicken? or is it a smokier flavour? i'm not too fussed about trying new things but the other half who isn't...

Congratulations! I'm a little way off from mine at the mo, half a stone - but i'll get there!

Haven't posted in a while, had a catastrophic weight gain on Wednesday, 5lbs! * week has just started so I'm hoping that contributed to it as well as the couple of days I fell off the wagon! Back on it with a vengeance now...

Hi all! Posted on another thread before realising it was a year old - thankfully my weight loss started better than my posting on here, haha! Joined SW on Jan 5th (New Year slimmer!!) and lost 5lb on my first week... Somehow managed a further 5.5lb this week! Fingers crossed it keeps coming off...

Hi all, new to the site and semi new to SW! First WI last week, had 5lb loss, then 5.5 loss this week too and got my 1/2 stone award, yay!! am hoping for a further 3.5(ish) stone to drop off, so fingers crossed I can keep it going!
