And admitted defeat. I cant do this on my own so am going back to meetings. I am joining one this afternoon at 3.30 so wish me luck!

Buy 30 day shred DVD - The inches will melt off!

Ohh I have some good bum Jeans to!! Like you, not for facing the world in yet haha! Today has gone well - not managed to do more exercise yet - unless you count getting up and down from the sofa a zillion times for trick or treaters! Am just eating a large bowl of raspberrys and am yet to...

Today has started off well. I got home from work at 7am and went on my exercise bike for 30 minutes. Breakfast was a bowl of strawberries with a Muller Light Vanilla Yoghurt. I am just having some grapes whilst I have home made veg broth cooking on the hob. Lunch is Chicken Teryaki with Noodles...

I have a gorgeous size 16 Lipsy Dress that I have bought for my OH's christmas party on the 2nd December. Thats 32 days away. The dress has a side zip and is about 1inch away from being able to do up. I really HAVE to fit in this dress in 32 days! Its so beautiful. So, I shall be keeping...

Lots of superfree foods, tons of water and maybe a little exercise as well. Good luck!

Thank you xx

Afternoon everyone Can anyone help with the syn value of a 22g bag of sweet chilli snack a jackss on EE? Thank you xx

Good luck to both of you!

What type of exercise have you been doing to tone up? x

Same here! I try and stick to about 1200 cals a day which is what it says I should have, but I follow SW. I like to see how the exercise impacts the cals as well!

Does anyone use My Fitness Pal in conjunction with their SW journey? xx

I am 5ft 2", 12st 12lb and wear a size 16 on top and bottom xx

Thanks girls - I am defo going to try and count the syns. Like I said, I dont really eat syns in the week so if I fancy something at the weekend (ie chocolate!!) I am going to have it, and syn it. Also, I havent been able to exercise for various reasons, but I have bought a exercise bike and...

Welcome back! Congratulations on your baby! How old is he/she? I had a baby in November 2010 and am losing the baby weight, plus a bit more! Best of luck! xx

I agree with Ian. Write down why you want to lose weight. Buy a nice outfit that is the next size down, or do you have something that's just a little tight that you can hang someone visible to remind yourself that you want it to fit comfortably. How much more do you have to lose? xx

I had terrible sickness in pregnancy. The only thing I can advise which is what my midwife told me is eat little often - even it its not veggies etc and once the morning sickness is over you can concentrate on healthy eating. Good luck, I hope it passes for you soon xx

To be fair, I dont really eat my syns in the week anyway so do have them at the weekend. Its just the crap I eat. Ill have a chocolate biscuit (like a breakaway or penguin) and a packet of wheat crunchies for example, but then i wont stop there - might have another 2 bags of crisps and 3 more...

I know I want to lose weight, I want it so bad I think about it ALL the time. So why when it gets to the weekend do I sabotage and gorge on rubbish food? I am so upset with myself. Today is a new day and I am starting it off well - breakfast is Blackberries, Strawberries and Grapes. Lunch...

I batch cook! I am waiting for Mr Tesco right now to deliver and tonight shall be batch cooking the following: Spicy Mince Spicy Sausage Casserole Chicken Bhuna Chilli Beef Stew Butternut Squash and Bacon Rissotto Shahi Murgh I am making 36 portions and I have 2 portions a day so will last me...

I started (properly!) again today. I have been fannying around for the last 2 months but now have a party dress to squeeze into! Good luck! x

Good luck sweetie x

I am going to give myself the night off at my OH's christmas do. Its on a Friday night and I intend to have scrambled eggs and bacon rashers for breakfast with syn free soup for lunch. Ill be getting straight back on SW the following day :-)

Well done xx

When I first joined a class back in May the consultant said saving syns for the weekend was fine. I personally try not to use all my syns though, I will count them daily if I have a glass of wine and dont tend to binge drink x

I wont be having a treat day, and I am going to be attempting to stay under 10 Syns a day as well. Maximise weightloss xx

Good luck! I am starting 100% from tomorrow and my weeks target is to lose 2lb

Evening everyone! I started SW back in May but since the beginning of September have been quite poor and have lost and gained the same 7lb. Anyway, my lovely OH bought tickets for his uber posh Christmas work party today which is 7 weeks tomorrow. Last year I had given birth just 2 weeks...

Well, I am chuffed to bits that I made it through the whole day yesterday 100%, and so far, so good today as well! I dont even fell hungry! Motivation right now is super charged! I have had a banana and strawberry shake for brekkie and lunch. 1 litre of water down as well. Day 2 is going better...

Thank you! So far still going great! I have kept myself busy which has taken my mind off eating. 5 hours until bedtime, I can complete day 1!

Mine have arrived next day when I order before 1pm. I am in England x

I love all the shakes and the 2 bars. I havent tried the soups tho x

Good luck!

It does stop - the first time I done Exante my headache started on Day 2 but was gone by Day 4. I am on my first day today after doing Slimming World since May. Good luck!

The day that will change my life. Today, 15th August. I have to lose this weight so am going to keep this diary so I can remind myself when my motivation is low why I want this, and that I CAN do it! So today... a great start. I had a strawberry shake about 9am and then went to the gym. I have...

Goood luck! I am starting today after a shaky start last week. I havent done anything in particular to prepare - got some coke zero in and thats about it really!!

If I am going out or have work I make a shake up for lunch the previous evening and pop it in the freezer. I take it out the freezer the following morning and take with me wherever it is I am going and by lunchtime its melted enough and still cold to have a lovely thick drink!

WI for me tonight to, I just had a bowl of soup as I always get so nervous I cant eat! Good luck!

Well done! I struggle to stay off the scales on a daily basis!!!!

Okay, thanks. Bizarrely it does the opposite to me and I dont get hungry, tends to supress my appetite! I am on day 4 and still no hunger pangs. Hope this feeling lasts!

Well done! I am on day 4 and have lost 4.6lb so far :-)

I have cans of Coke Zero but what is the recommended limit to drink a day whilst on TS?

I got through day 3 as well! Yippee! I am feeling so proud of myself, so today is day 4, and a sneaky peek shows a 4.6lb loss since I started Exante on Monday. I cant wait to offically WI on Monday morning. If I can lose 9lb in my first week and get into the 13's I will be SO happy!

I have a newborn daughter and hate having my photo taken with her as I am so overweight. A wedding in Sept where my OH will be Usher. I want to look good next to him. Holiday on 8th July for a long weekend. I want to feel okay in a swimsuit and summery clothes!

Hiya! I am on Day 3 and so far so good. I have found having 4 shakes a day along with 2 litres of water keep me on the straight and narrow. I also have a small glass of Coke Zero whenever I fancy (usally after 500ml of water!) Good luck!

Yay! Well done! I weighed myself this morning after 2 days and have lost 3.4lb!

I have surprised myself that I have made it to day 3 and I am still feeling fine! I know this will change so I had a look on the scales this morning so when I feel starving and wanting to eat I can remind myself its working... and it is! 3.4lb off since Monday morning! Yippee!

That is brilliant! Well done!

Thats brilliant! Well done!!

I got some digital scales from Tesco. I think they cost £20 and they weigh in stones/lbs/ounces and also KG.

Thanks all. I am delighted that I made it through day 1 pretty much unscathed! I didnt feel hungry or grumpy or cold etc. Here is to day 2!

Morning - stay with it. Your doing great, and just keep in mind how fabulous you will feel when you have your first weeks weigh in! Take a couple of paracetomol for your headache and get drinking plenty of water.

Morning all! I am still feeling brilliant and motivated. Just having a nice vanilla shake for breakfast. After just one day I feel less bloated. Hope this feeling continues!

I think anything more then 5-6 litres a day is getting close to the mark. I have 2 litres a day, plus I am going to have 4 shakes a day made up with 250ml of water each, so all together, 3 litres a day.

Good luck! I used to do the old points and it always worked for me. I am doing exante for some fast results before back to pointing.

Good luck girls - I have started today, also have around 4 stone to lose!

I am just having my 2nd shake of the day - Vanilla. With a massive glass of ice! Tastes nicer then the strawberry one! I am 1 litre of water down to! Yippee! :clap: I am feeling SO motivated! I am looking on Ebay for smaller sized clothes to keep me focused!

Good luck! Its my first day as well! No idea about the redbush tea... Im sure someone who knows will come along shortly tho!

We are going away for the weekend on 8th July so would definately like to be a lot slimmer by then. But my big goal is a wedding we are attending on 17th September. My OH is an Usher and I want to look good alongside him!

I think so because one of the reasons weightloss tends to slow around TOTM is because you retain water. Once TOTM is over the retained water goes and there is weightloss? I think!

My first day and I feel ok. I had my first shake about 9.45. I will have another one around 1.30pm - later if I can stretch it out! I have drank 500ml of water so far - aim for the day is 2000ml! Stay strong and remember why you are doing this xx

I have started today. For March I would like to lose 9lb. This will get me into the 13 st something bracket Cybill - 14lbs hannata - 16lbs Dutch - 16lbs -3 13 to go *lil* - 9lbs KatHmum - 14lbs Summer Rain - 16lbs SammyE - 12.2lbs BB - 10lbs *jenjen* - 14lbs kitcatx - 21 lbs scarymovie -...

The exante packs for shakes are not very sweet but like slimmer brideziller comments, I think its more the counseller support with Cambridge.

I have started today and will be doing shakes only. I am not a lover of soups and the bars I feel would make me want to eat all the time! So shakes it is!

Good luck! I am on day 1! Super nervous!

Just had my first shake - a strawberry one. Dosent taste quite like a McDonalds Strawberry shake haha! I am so excited so be starting. My weight this morning is 14st 8.6lb. I would really love to get under 14 stone in the first instance - getting in the 13's will really spur me on I think...

Another newbie! I have just ordered 8 days worth of Exante. If I am doing well after 4 days then Ill be ordering more but I dont know if I will be able to cope without actual food. But I really need to lose weight so will be giving it my best shot! I have around 5 stone to lose in total.
