Oooh thanks for that! So only 1 syn per sparkler lolly? That's amazing!

WOW !!! Well done!

WOW! Wish I had that many inches lost! Dying to get into a size 12! Was a size 20 jeans, now size 16 jeans, 14/16 top. Really really want to fit into size 12 jeans!

Your figure is fantastic!!!!!! Well done you !

You look great! Love the white dress!

Amazing loss! Well done! Do you have a current pic as you are at target now!

Haven't posted here on a while, my weight loss has slowed down big time! I joined in Jan 2011 and lost nearly 3 stone by end of May 2011, since then I've not even lost a stone since. I have another 3 stone to go currently 13stone 5lbs (put on 3.5lbs last Thurs). I really need motivation tips...

WOW WEEE!!! That side shot of your figure looks amazing! Pity about the jacket being in the way though! You look really good and happy :) Hope you are in married bliss!

I lost 3lbs tonight at WI and got SOTW :) Well done!! That's amazing!!! :) :) And well done to you too!!!!

One of my friends who is in another group with the same consultant is going through the exact same thing, she doesn't do anything over in that group either, so my weigh in is tonight so I will try and ask her about Woman Of The Year cos that's runs for this month is that right? My friend is...

Chin up girls. 1.5lbs loss is still a loss! There are people who would be over the moon with that kind of loss. I know I would!

Oh my god. Your classes sound way better than mine. I've been there since January and have had NO taster sessions at all. The only change in routine was last week when she went through the new members talk with everybody during the session and that was cos only 4 members weighed in and there was...

What about Woman Of The Year, taster classes etc... does your do any of that? I hate my class TBH. Paying €9 seems a waste :(

I want to know how does everyone class routine work? Mine starts at 7.30pm, weigh in lasts for about 20 minutes, then after that my consultant announces any awards that need to be handed out then she might give us a recipe she has tried out then goes through everyone's weight losses or...

I'm surprised at how many people weigh themselves at home. I don't do that cos my scales are rubbish, they said I was 8 stone yesterday haha. I have been tempted to go to the chemist and weigh myself there on the machines but I resist cos I know I will be disappointed if I don't get a result I...

Really want to lose 2lb by next Tuesday. I have been snacking so much, trying to keep my mind off it. I've bought some quark so I figure tomorrow I'll make the half syn roulade with loads of strawberries so I can snack on the cake instead of crisps and try and stick to Success Express down to a tee!

Fab dress (the navy one)! I want! Where did you get it? How did you get so toned up from the July photo to the august photo?

WOW WOW WOW!!! 3st 2lbs in 16 weeks? *****! LOL! Took me twice that! :( You are looking great! love the colour of the dress in the after pic

You are beautiful!

Gorgeous!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW WOW! Well done you!!!

I can see a difference in your neck/face! P.S. I love your style!!!!

leaving the group again. I hope I won't be back!

Everyone is having fabulous losses. I swear the machines are rigged sometimes. I lost 1.5lbs but not a big whoop cos I am the same weight I was at the start of June. Had a gain, maintained and then loss my gain. MEH! big waste of a month.

Me too. They are dangerous to me! I bought a box of HiFi Deluxe last Tues at WI and ate all 4 bars in 2 hours! :o

My consultant still hasn't sorted this out for me! GRRR!!!

Am still here... maintained so am still 14 stone exactly.

@Impossible dreamer - have a chocolate options??? That might satisfy you? I know it does for me? Or use Alpen Light bars (choc and fudge)?? 2 can be used as HEXB? I maintained this week, slightly happy, slightly disappointed. I'm still. 2.5lbs away from my 3 stone award, have been battling for...

Not feeling good about tonight either. I just feel meh all the time since I gained last week when I wasn't expecting to. Ate out loads too, hot chocolates, muffins, dinner dance, popcorn, just other stupid things. I really need to get a grip of myself or else the 2.5stone will be easily put back...

WOW to go from this pic to the above is just amazing. Well done!

You look decades younger! And you look fantastic. Well done on your really amazing weight loss so far. Can't wait to see the next pics!

I didn't get any letter at all. Mind you I did get a letter saying welcome to Slimming World in late March when I joined in January! I dunno why it's so late? I got my sticker on the 15th March for my Club 10, I even had to point out I got it. I have lost more since then so I should have...

Hmm, I never got anything? Maybe my consultant didn't register it? Will text her tomorrow about it. Everytime I ask for something though, I always feel guilty about it :-/ .

I got my Club 10 on the the 15th March but haven't got a week free yet? How do I get this? I heard some people say they get a letter? I've not got one :(

Back into this group cos I put on 1.5lbs this week. Now 14 stone again! MEH!

Surprise gain of 1.5lbs this week. MEH! I got my period a few hours before SW class, does this affect it? I felt heavier but I walked 3km today and also walked over the weekend. I was a bit naughty but was better last week than most weeks. So frustrating. Every week it's either a big loss, and...

Well done on your loss and have that glass of wine!

I'm 5'5 and was 1 stone heavier than you when I started but after seeing you be 11stone 4 and look that fantastic really motivated me. I set an interim target of 12stone which meant I have 4st 11.5lbs to lose which seemed a lot and thought I wouldn't look any better at 12 stone cos usually...

Hope things get sorted soon x

Well done to those who lost so far. I'm weighing in tonight. I think I've been alright. I was slightly naughty on Friday and Sunday but in between I was alright. I'll be walking 3km today so hope that helps with a loss!Want 1lb to reach my 3 stone!

Looking fab! Love your dress too! Keep it up!

Oooooh cake!!! Did you have any LOL!

Well done on a brilliant weight loss in a short amount of time! Your face has completely changed! No more double chin!

4 stone is a huge loss! Be proud of yourself! You look absolutely gorgeous too! Keep it up! It may be slow but you will get there eventually. Think, this time Christmas you could be 2 stone lighter! Maybe even more! Well done!

Wow. You are absolutely gorgeous. I would have never have thought you were big in the second pic. You look like you have always been that way! It really does suit you. Fair play to you! Love your clothes in second pic too!!! Recent purchases?

Wow you can definitely notice it. Are you still eating SW food though?

I actually was in New Look yesterday and seen the very dress you wore!

Well just I joined the group, I now have to leave. Am now 13 stone 12lbs after losing 3.5lbs tonight! Unexpected or what! Best of luck guys and see you in the 13 stone to 12 stone thread!

So after all my worrying I actually lost 3.5lbs this week. I was genuinely shocked. I do not understand it at all. I literally had a Burger King on Friday, chip butty on Sunday, drank over 10 pints, eat 2 packets of crisps a day, 1 bar of choc a day and loads more all week. Seriously massive...

Well done! I love your dress in the second pic!!!

Last week I was 14 stone, had to lose half pound to be in the 13 bracket but I put on 2lbs which brings me to 14st 2lbs. Hoping for a STS or even a small half pound gain tonight so I can get back on track to lose whatever to get me into the 13 bracket next week.

Know how you feel but remember we have to go cos it's where we touch base. Where we know exactly how much weight we have put on or even if we have stayed the same. We need to go to get our head back in the game again. What time is your WI?

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/200528-success-express.html :)

Will be trying Success Express today and tomorrow for a hope of STS!

So nervous about WI tomorrow. Have not been good at all. Way too much snacking all the time. Will probably be my second gain in a row :( Need to find my motivation again

Exactly how I felt. Feel proper crap when I can't find anything to wear. As for your hubby?!! MEN! *roll eyes*

I live in Dublin. I think I'll wait til I'm at a better size so that I won't have to get it altered again. One thing which was funny that 2 years ago I went to wedding and bought a Size 16 dress from Miss Selfridge, but it was too small so I got it altered to 18-20, tried it on and it now...

Oh I have thunder thighs still! Just not as big! Can't show bare legs without having tights or leggings! One thing that's kind of good though, is that my holiday clothes from 4 years ago now fit me better than they did at the time. Pity they are all out of fashion!

That's exactly it. My thighs have lost weight and wearing a size 16/18 jeans which fit perfect around my waist look so funny around my thighs :(

Right so I was a Size 18 or so, and all my clothes were either 16-18 or jeans size 20. Now I've lost weight, I can't wear my jeans anymore cos they don't fit properly now but can't afford to buy new ones. Have been living in leggings and jeggings the past few weeks with some baggy teeshirts...

Best thing I've been doing is plan your meals in advance, try use all the foods one after the other for example. I bought a small pack of 2 chicken breasts, so I'll have that for dinner today and tomorrow. I freeze any other meat I have til I need it. So I have 2 salmon steaks which are frozen...

I am in the exact same boat. I just keep snacking on crisps and chocolate. That bar of Ripple is looking at me right now!!! I'm so desperate to have it!!

Hi guys, I'm based in Dublin and have been on SW since 11th Jan, have lost 2st 9.5lbs to date. Really struggling at the moment, trying to find my mojo again! I've got another 3stone or so to go!

You look absolutely amazing!!!!! I literally shouted whoa when I see the second pic! Well done you!!!

Well done to everyone! I weighed in last night as I missed Tuesdays class :( I put on 2lbs, no surprise though cos I had 4 takeaways, wine, cake and crisps! So have started afresh today and am going for a 3lbs loss so that I can say I am officially under 14stone!

MASSIVE congrats on the engagement! I now know of 3 people who got engaged in the past week! OMG!

1lb a week every week for a year is 52lbs. That is 3stone 10lbs. Please do not put 1lb a week down, it all adds up in the end. :) x2! Got 2.5lbs off when I thought I would maybe lose 1lb or so. Also got SOTW :)

You look really good in the after photos! And you like the same music as me. Is that Gods you're at BTW? ;) TBH, it's really refreshing to see someone at 11st 4lbs cos I weighed 1.5stone heavier than you at the start of your journey, am now nearly at 14 stone, and I look slimmer already but for...

You look really good although I would kill for a figure like yours in the before photo! Hopefully one day I'll have a figure like that.

Well done!!!! You look fabulous!!

Lost 1.5lbs last night at WI. Pleased with that, althought I was hoping for at least 2lbs. I just went out for dinner today with a friend and it's racked up at a shocking 77.5syns. So I have roughly 25 syns left for the week ahead! Good thing I'm going shopping first thing and making sure I...

9.5 syns :)

I lost 4.5lbs tonight at WI! Just 0.5lb off the 5lb target I set myself last Thurs at WI. I don't care cos I got my 2.5stone award and that's what I really wanted! I am back on track! Now to aim for 3lbs next week so I can be on track for my 3 stone award at end of month! Wait til you reach...

Well done to the losses so far! Hoping tonight is a good night and I've lost the 2.5lbs I put on last week along with 1.5lb extra to reach my 2.5 stone award! I have been good all week, eating loads of veg and did the success express plan on Sunday and yesterday. A little off topic but you...

Weighed in at different group tonight as missed last Tues. 2.5lbs on! MEH! That means only 4lbs lost since end of March :( Aiming for 5lbs next Tuesday. 1lb per day til then. Hope I can do it!

OH MY GOD. That is super amazing! How are you doing it??!?!!? Such a huge loss in short space of time! More than 1 stone per month!!!

Thanks for that, I prefer to save my syns for naughty stuff and cous cous isn't naughty haha. I will try spices and flavourings. I have the Hellman's Fat Free Vingerette dressing (0.5syns for 2 tablespoons). Would that be good?

So I tried some cous cous salad in a supermarket this week and it was gorgeous, wondering how to make a nice cous cous salad? If I remember correct the cous cous was mixed with red and green peppers and some tomatoes. What kinda dressings, flavourings should I use? Am totally clueless when...

Not able to get weighed today as am in England so will be weighin in on Thursday. Good luck with all your WI. :)

LOL! I did too! Well done on managing 6lbs while on holiday!!!

Hang on? I already mentioned I told her how I feel about it, I have said it to her, expressed my concerns, told her money could be put to better use, and have encouraged her to join SW again and again. This is a place to see what other people think about Gastric Bypass Surgery and whether they...

Eh? I do like my friend, she is one my closest friends, if I didn't like her I wouldn't be so worried for her! The reason why I'm venting is cos I'm fed up with her dropping out and taking an easy way out is cos there is a massive backstory. For the past 4 or so years, I have tried my best...

GRRRRR!!! My good friend who is overweight is considering gastric bypass surgery and to me it's like she's taking the easy way out. We both made the decision to join Slimming World last Jan, she didn't understand the plan properly, put on 1.5lbs in first week, I helped go through it with her...

That's exactly what I would do! I have never been a size 12, but I have got a little cardie that is a size 12 but it's absolutely huge. Think it was a mistake in print, it was from Primark after all haha Can't wait to fit into a nice fitted size 12 dress! My dream! to be a size 10 would be...

What? That's a rubbish pressie! We normally have a big box of fruit or veg or something like a weighing scale, maybe a chip tray that kind of thing but was well happy with the prize tonight €12 worth of stuff for free!

You can notice an amazing difference with a 3 stone loss!

Lost 4lbs tonight :) Need 1.5 more to get my 2.5 stone award! Plus won the raffle which was 3 boxes of hifi bars plus SW magazine which was brilliant cos I was about to buy the magazine before along with a box of hifi bars but decided not to! Also got SOTW! :) :)

Size 12? Amazing! Hoping I will be like you one day!!! :) :) Well done on your weight loss!!!!

That is amazing! I really hope I can achieve another 2 stone in 3 months and match yours!!!!! Have you much more to lose?

Lost 1lb this week. What the ****? haha! Happy out :)

Have a feeling I gained this week, definitely overdid it on syns, started a new contraceptive and my Mam's been admitted to hospital again which has thrown me off track. However, I'm going to weigh in and I'm facing up to it! Back on track 100% tomorrow. I mean it.

There was no packaging, was straight from a hospital cafe. Oh well. I enjoyed it! ahah

Hi guys, I had a smallish slice of caramel millionaire shortbread. Can't find it on SW site? It look slike this.

Lost 1lb and finally got my 2 stone award :) Next goal is 2.5 stone by 3rd May. I need an average 2lbs a week for this! COME ON!

You look fabulous at target! I say the men are all over you ;)

0.5lbs for me too! Aiming for at least 2 next week, but want 4lbs!

0.5lbs off last night. Happy with that as was very naughty for 2 weeks! So now aiming for at least 2lbs next week, hoping for 4lbs!

Me neither. Exactly how I feel except I missed it last Tues cos I wasn't in the country. I feel like it's thrown me completely off balance. Will do my damn hardest never to miss a SW class again! I really want my 2 stone award tomorrow but I feel like I will put on. Doesn't help I had a...

FAB!!!!

Missed WI last night, so hoping I can make it in time for Thurs WI.

Any takers???

So I got given this website by a friend and she gave me a link to My Virtual Model Community - Be the next top model and show your friends your fashion sense. You can create a model by entering in your weight and then height to get a virtual you. So then you can printscreen, paste and crop to...

Fair play to you! You look gorgeous and to be honest, you looked amazig beforehand aswell!

I have a look on here at the Inspirational Photos!!!

Not looking forward either, been stressed out and eating loads of crisps! Have been ok today but had one packet of crisps. Tomo = fruit and veg ALL DAY before WI!

What does * week mean??

So I started on the 11th Jan 2011 at 16st 11.5lbs, now 15st exactly. The SW personal profile predicts I will reach my interim target of 12 stone (168lb) by end of July! That's like nearly a 5 stone loss in 6/7 months! Can it be done???

I do mine daily, wouldm't be able to trust myself if I did it weekly, would use them all up in the first two days.

Well done :) x I got mine too! I'm nearly the exact same as you but I'm heavier LOL!

LOL! I didn't in the end, I had my HEXA of grated cheddar and munched on an apple. Convinced aswell my Pandora bracelet was weighing me down last week LOL! Took it off this week so it might have made me a pound lighter LOL!

I lost 2.5lbs which is a shock considering I expected to put on! Also got my Club 10 award! Just need 2.5lbs more to get my 2 stone award :D Plus you have either STS or lost consistently which is brilliant! Well done you! Hope next week will be better for you.

Lost 2.5lbs! Got my Club 10 award tonight :):)

I am jealous!!! I'm a size 18, was starting to wear more size 20 clothes (had about 4 items size 20) and decided it was enough! My dream clothes size is a healthy size 12, regardless of stone so if I get to size 12 and be 19 stone I don't care LOL! I want to be size 12 :) If I was size 10 I...

I wanna have a cup of tea too! I'm going to have one as I'm going shopping before WI so hopefully that will burn a few calories.

What size were you before???? You look gorgeous!

Gonna make this tonight :)

I have had a rly crap few days from Wed-Fri. Wed my friend's baby of 6 months died and my dog went missing, cue eat loads of chocolate after 5 hours of crying. Thur had no time to eat so snacked out on potatoes and lasange crisps with more choco. Friday - not too bad but didn't eat much fruit or...

Can't see your photos hun! :( Trying clicking refresh on the page to get up the old facebook photo viewer, then right click on your photo and depending on what kind of browser you have, it should say something like "COPY IMAGE URL" or "COPY IMAGE LOCATION" (it should end in .jpg) Then paste...

Me too. Oh well, tomorrow is another week :)

Gain of 0.5lb this week, expecting it but disappointed as it was my first gain in 8 weeks. Am still proud of my success so far though. Roll on losing 1lb next week for my Club 10!

BTW, your shoes are to die for!!!

WOW! You are gorgeous!!! Massive difference in arms and neck. The dress is gorgeous too! Well done on the 2 stone loss and next you'll be in a size 10 before you know it! :) x

And we're all from Ireland :)

Nervous about this Tuesday's weigh in. Hoping I'll lost 0.5lbs to get my Club 10.

Looking good! Keep it up! :) 4 stone loss is amazing! BTW my bf is from the area you are from. I'm from IReland though, if I ever move over I may see you in one of the classes! :)

You've lost the same amount as me! I've not noticed any difference! Then again, I am a lot bigger than you so it's probably not as noticeable. Well done!

Have you had your period? Have you been losing loads since you started? Don't forget, it will start to balance out

I haven't noticed any weight loss. I've lost 1st 9.5lbs and I thought I would go down at least a dress size but still a size 18/20. When I started this, the main thing I wanted was to be a size 12 at least and didn't really care how many stone I was. I hope I'll fit into a size 16 comfortably...

How much have you lost so far????? Did you do any exercise?

Haha, I'm the same TBH. If I ever get a stomach like you have now ( which I think is gorgeous and it's the perfect size I wanna be) I will wear tops that sit above my hips and not hanging low down pass my pelvic area as they normally do. I just can't wait til I get to put on a top and then don't...

Would Holland and Barretts have this tofu?? How much and what does it look like?

Keep it up! :)

Sorry for your loss. As I tell everyone who have lost a grandparent, I say they should remember how lucky they are to actually meet them as I never got to meet any of mine, they all died before I was born. As for me, I lost 5.5lbs! Total shock seeing as I went to England for the weekend but I...

I'm seriously thinking of moving to another class cos the one I'm in now, we've changed venues and it's really hard to hear her in there and I'm not getting the full information. Plus I want to try these taster nights/body magic etc... Feeling a bit let down with my consultant. I'll give her one...

They never discuss it at my meeting :( I'm gonna start doing it next week though.

Yep, these ones... Wholegrain CRISPbread = 4 Wholegrain CRACKERbread = 6

Did you find that recipe for the flapjack??? I can't find it!

They are absolutely gorgeous. The Ryvita red original ones, you can have 4 of them too.

That's a lot of meat!!!! Are you planning on freezing them?

I wrote down this recipe after seeing it in one of the curry SW books. Will try it next week!

I am now addicted to the Alpen Light bars. No joke. The best thing is you can have 2 of them as a HEXB!

Gorgeous legs! Keep it up!

Lost 1.5lb this week. I'm happy out but I don't feel it. My mood's been crap for the past few days. I've got a food diary planned out for the next 7 days so will stick to it rigidly to make sure I get 3lbs off to reach my 1.5stone award :)

Must try this out next week.

That's the spirit Cathie! Get back on track for next week :) Good luck to everyone weighing in tonight! Mine is at 7.30pm.

Well done!!!! Keep going :) x

You have a gorgeous figure! Really slim legs! Wish I could say the same!!! Keep it up you're doing amazing!

Wow you can definitely notice it around the neck area! Well done! Keep it up :)

WOW! Your stomach is just.... WOW! I could never have a stomach like that! Are you going to the gym to tone up etc...??? Just read Page 2 of this thread. If you're 5ft 8 and you're 9.1 stone, aren't you underweight according to your BMI? Surprised your consultant allows you to stay on? Not...

WOW! You look amazing! Well done!

I'm really nervous too! I've kinda lost my motivation the past couple of days. I've even made Spag bol from scratch and a pizza but can't seem to get into it. I tired to have a banana and apple in between when I felt hungry but I still feel really hungry so I had 2 cake bars, crisps and 2 alpen...

Get about 6 biggish mushrooms, put in saucepan. Put in two crushed Oxo veg stock cubes into saucepan. Pour boiling water over. Added in salt and pepper with a few herbs (season to taste) and 25 mins later, blend and end result is fab soup!!!

Thanks :) Small losses of 1lb or 2lb is brilliant cos if you think about it, if you lose 2lb a week, you could be like 4 stone down by September. It is possible. I won't be disheartened if I get 1lb cos like someone said in my group last night; "that's a pound of sausages off your body!!" :D

2.5lbs down this week. 16.5lbs in total in 5 weeks :) If I lose 2.5lbs each week for the next 3 weeks, I'll hit my 1.5 stone award plus Club 10 award :)

Yeah, an Oxo cube is a stock cube. :)

She had one of those PDAs, she says the PDA works it out based on consistency. I'll see how it goes for another few weeks if I keep losing weight and if I don't manage to get anything, I'll approach her.

Didn't get SOTW this week either. I lost 2.5lbs which brought me to 1 stone loss. I wasn't the highest either, the highest was 5.5lbs but she didn't win it either. A woman who lost 3lbs and a total of 6lbs in 5 weeks got it. HOW?????:confused: There is another woman who got 16lbs off in...

2.5lbs off tonight and got my 1 stone award :)

Lick the flavour off, that's what I do!!!

Can you post it please? :)

That website is great! ^^^^^^ THANK YOU!

Reason why I posted this thread was after seeing your signature Maximus! I was slightly jealous LOL!

Well done on your loss! I think you looked gorgeous before though! I would kill to have a figure like that in the before pics!

TBH I just want the sticker! I'm quite competitive and I want more stickers on my book LOL! I just felt a bit cheated out of the last one as I lost 1.5lbs more than the girl and my weight loss was consistent and averaging out every week. I'm just curious to see how is everyone else's SOTW...

Tescos own brand :)

Hi guys, Right so I was wondering how is SOTW decided? I have been to 4 SW meetings (starter and then 3 weigh ins) and had 2 different consultants (the usual one was away training or something). The one that was a consultant in another area who was covering my regular consultant just...

WOW!!!!!!! 9lbs! You lucky sod!

Wow you are gorgeous! Your cheekbones make all the difference! How old are you BTW? I'm 22 and I'm a bit worried that when I lose the weight I will have flabby skin etc.. Has it happened to you? x

Gammon with egg and chips is only 15.5 syns :) Check the SW website for the syn values. Just go to the Brand - then enter J D Wetherspoons and then type in the ingredient. Avoid the burger and chips! That's 60.5syns!!!!! I think the Thai Noodles is under 10 syns!

WOW! You look fab! I have a bit more than you to lose and you have totally inspired me to keep going :)

Lost 4lbs tonight, really unexpectedly seeing as it was my bday and I had 164 syns last week! WTF?! Total weight loss now of 11.5lbs in 3 weeks :) WOW! Well done :)

Size 18 to size 8??? AMAZING!

Well done! I have my third weigh in tomorrow. Last week I was a total of 7.5lbs off in two weeks however, it was my bday last weekend and I overdid it somehwhat so reckon I'll either put on or stay the same! :(

LOL! Same thing happened me! Now I just lick the powder off then eat them :) They are 4 syns per pack (worked it out on the Syn Calculator), less than Snack A Jacks plus they're cheaper!!!!

You look amazing! Keep it up! Can't wait to see your other pics! :)

WOW!!!! Gorgeous!!!

I am super jealous of your new bod!

I love Velvet Crunch, they are 4 syns per pack. I have them all the time. Much prefer them over Snack a JAcks plus they are cheaper!
