Yeah I think that's a good plan as I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. Will just see any weight loss from now on as a bonus! I bought a size 12 jeans as motivation to slim into and now they fit comfortably so might do the same with size 10s, although I'm very pear shaped so they'd...

Yeah it really does! And I actually look forward to fasting days when I've over indulged in feast days! There's a lot less guilt with this way of eating. I'm not sure what to set as my target weight - it was originally 10 st 7 but now I'm 10 st 4.4. I'd like to say. My goal weight is where I...

I aim for 1500 calories. Some days I go WAY over and others way under! I'm trying not to stress over the feast days too much to be honest. Tonianne your lunch looks amazing! I've just got home from work and I'm starving! Just trying to decide what to have for dinner :) Xx Sent from my iPhone...

Hi - mind if I join! I was doing SW from home too! Been doing 5:2 for 3 weeks and I've lost 8lbs - it's so easy! Sometimes I do 3 fast days a week. I'm now below my original target weight of 10st 7 so I'm not sure whether to try and lose a few more lbs and get to 10st. I'm fasting today - so...

I think it might be the way to go - hubby is going to have a day off a week regardless of whether I do or not lol! And I do always seem to lose when I have had a treat night. So what so you think I should do - my day 'off' is going to be on a Friday as that's my weigh in day and I've got a few...

Yeah that's him - I'm a very lucky lady :) Never really thought about swimming - I'm always a bit panicky in water when I get out of my depth! Thanks hun, I'm going to stick with it and do my measurements today. Won't care about the scales if I'm losing some centimetres! Totally shouldn't have...

Went to the cinema today to see Les Mis (AMAZING film) hubby and I both cried! Went to tesco on the way and managed to find some popcorn - a generous portion for 4.5 syns! Really yummy too! Thought I'd share anyway. Thank you to Tilly, Jen and Laura for looking at my food diary today. Kat Xxx...

Urgh annoyed at myself, Had a bit of a comfort eating binge tonight :( haven't done that in a VERY long time. I literally could not stop eating. Feel very disappointed and crappy for it but thought it was important that I acknowledge it and come clean on here. Feeling pretty down at the moment...

Thanks girls, Going to try and chill out about it a bit. I'm not bothered about getting to that weight i just want to lose some fat! I'm very pear shaped and would just like to feel a bit happier when I look in the mirror. Will keep on with the plan as hubby is doing it too and we're both...

I really must start posting on here more often! I'm a lurker haha! I posted last week when I had a rubbish WI oh -0.2lbs, thank you girls for all your advice and feedback. Well just stepped on the scales and .......... STS! I don't understand!! I've done some green and red days to shake it up...

Had another good day :) I'm finding it really easy to stick to, the only thing that I will find hard is if I don't see the scales move! Had a rubbish WI of -0.2 lb last week so will be really disappointed if I don't lose, especially as I've been mixing it up with some red and green days this...

Felt better today after a full nights sleep :) Had my first red day today and have felt so full all day! Wasn't expecting that. Weds 30th Jan - Red B = banana, 2 plums L=chicken, bacon and mushrooms, with colemans season and shake paprika (allowing 1 syn), green beans, and carrots. D= 4...

Was so tired today! Bad nights sleep - DS woke up at 2, just got him settled when DD woke up and didnt settle til gone 4! Proud of myself for sticking to plan today, usually when I'm tired I don't want to cook anything proper and I end up snacking on rubbish all day. And even prouder that I...

Today has been one of those days! Hubby up and out for work at 1am and I couldn't get back to sleep :( Busy morning of housework and cooking then soft play this afternoon with friends - only for DS to fall and bang his head - now sporting a big bump! Feet up now - I'm so tired and achey so no...

Had quite a good day today :) Level 2 shred wasn't as bad as I was expecting so I must be getting fitter :) Also went for a walk or about an hour with the kids and DS stayed on the buggyboard for the whole time so I could keep up a good pace! Xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well shred was surprisingly easy (I've done it before but only got to level 2). All the biking I've been doing must've helped, I barely broke a sweat! Might fast forward and go up to level 2 tomorrow x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thought of a few changes I can make that'll hopefully help to shift the weight. I lost weight quite well before when I swapped my lunch and dinner round so had main meal at lunch time and something little in the evening. Also we eat quite a lot of quorn so I realised I could do a green day -...

Thanks hun, I am feeling a lot better now thank you.....just been planning my meals for the week :) Xx

Think I'm going to start posting my thoughts on here as well as my food diary. Better than boring my hubby with them! So I was really disheartened when I got on the scales and had only lost 0.2lbs :( I think it got to me so much because I'm having a bit of a rubbish time all round at the mo and...

That was me! Thanks - I'm going to try that this week! I have been doing better at using syns on 'real foods' rather than having them leftover for bad snacks but I still struggle to even make 10. Start a fresh new week tomorrow and going to aim for 15 syns each day and any I don't use I will...

Hi - thanks for stopping by :)

Thanks Tilly, I'm finding it hard not to over think it! I need to just chill out a bit I think, follow the plan, exercise and the weight will come off eventually! X

Thanks Jen and Tonianne, I completely agree. I've got about 7-10 lbs left to lose and I really don't want a quick fix as I love sw and feel like it's sensible eating rather than a diet. It's just bad timing for me as I've been feeling really low and stressed this week and I was so proud of...

Omg I want to cry :( This is the first week where I haven't stepped in the scales at all all week, I've tracked absolutely everything I've eaten and drunk (used to have 1 night 'off' per week), I've exercised regularly, made an effort to use 5-10 syns per day. And the result is - 0.2lbs off :(...

Why is it so hard to stick to plan when you're tired and stressed?! Having a nightmare with my baby daughter and tummy troubles, bless her hate seeing her in pain and so upset. We were up from half 2 til 5 this morning, just got her off to sleep when hubby got in from work and that woke my son...

Hi can I join? Well done everyone on your losses :) I weighed in this morning and I've lost 1 1/2 lbs - very happy with that :) Kat X

Hi can I join? I've just finished my first week on SW - I'm really enjoying it and hoping to stick to it long term. Weighed in this morning and I've lost 1 1/2 lbs, very happy with that! Would like to lose at Lear another 7 lbs. Kat X

I know - yet it still feels like such a treat :) x

Lightly dusted yellowfin sole, couscous and salad :) x

Mmmmm that looks yummy! I must get some more Warburton wraps :) x

Jacket potato, hex a low fat cheese, chopped bacon no fat, and a massive salad! Was yummy and so filling x

Hi all, Thought I'd start a diary to help me stick at it. I really love SW and feel that I can stick to it long term but I have a tendency to want to throw it all in if I don't lose every week. So I'm hoping that posting everything I eat on here will help me stick with it even if I don't lose...

Hey! Thought I'd stop by and check out your diary - it looks great! And 3.5 lb off in less than a week is amazing! Off to set up my diary now x

Hiya, thank you! Diary buddies sounds like a great idea, I'll set my diary up now and subscribe to yours :) x

Thanks tonianne and well done on your loss :) Have you got a diary on here? If so I'll subscribe for some ideas :) Yeah I think I will set one up, it'll help me stay on track x

Hi all - mind if I join? Bit about me - I'm Kat, 28, married and I have 2 babies, my son was 2 in sept and my daughter is 6 months old. Think I've tried every single diet going but started following SW roughly when I was pregnant with my daughter and it really helped me not to put on too much...

Thank you :-) think I'm going to be putting quite a bit on in these last few weeks, especially once I finish work! It's really quite strange following a diet while pregnant isn't it, as you're not going to see losses on the scales and don't know what your true weight is! I can't wait for baby to...

Had a really picky day today. Couldn't stop eating every time I went into the kitchen! Not good really as the majority of it was totally unnecessary but at least I picked at free foods mainly. Breakfast - 2 weetabix and skimmed milk (hex A and B), apple, pear and grapes Lunch - home made veggie...

Yeah I've subscribed to the pregnancy thread too. Some people have an extra a and b and some are following the plan as it is. I'm having an extra a and b if I really fancy it but if not, just sticking to one. You have to have loads of extra hexs once breastfeeding! Am worried I won't be able to...

Ahh thank you :-) I'm feeling so much healthier now than I did in my last pregnancy. Really wish I'd discovered SW sooner x

Thank you - I'm loving this site already. It seems great for support and advice x

Thank you :) x

Hi all, I've decided to start a diary to make sure I stick to plan and get it right! A little bit about me - I'm Kat, 30 weeks pregnant with my second. Was fed up with eating rubbish for the sake of it and didn't want to put back on all the weight I'd worked so hard to lose after having my son...

Hi all, Hoping to join in here. My name is Kat, I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my second. Have been following slimming world at home for 3 weeks now and really enjoying it. Lost 5lbs meaning I'm only 2lb heavier now than when I found out I was pregnant. Looking forward to getting to know you all Kat Xx

Hi all, hope it's ok if I join! My name is Kat. I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my second, I already have a little boy who is 19 months old. Was getting very fed up with eating rubbish for the sake of it and I didn't want to put back on all the weight I worked so hard to lose after having my son. So...

I've decided to change my approach and take on more calories in the morning and less at night ( like Sarah-Louise). So roughly speaking it's 500 cals for brekkie, 300 for lunch and 200 for dinner plus 3 X 100 cal snacks. Today I had: Breakfast - coffee, grapefruit juice, slim fast shake...

Phew I'm pooped! Started couch to 5k today and also did day two level 1 of 30 day shred. Think I'm going to be sore tomorrow! Eating-wise I've been ok today Porridge for brekkie, apple plum and kitkat senses for snack (naughty me). Grilled chick breast with mediterranean veg for lunch. Going to...

Hiya :) I know what you mean about not seeing the wood for the trees. I feel that calorie counting seems the most logical and sensible plan to stick to long term. I'm loving it so far as I dont feel deprived like I have on other diets x

I think sharing what I eat every day will really help me stay on track so this is how my first day of calorie counting has gone: Breakfast- Coffee with skimmed milk and 1 sweetner, toast with 2 slices of WW bread, butter (ran out of flora) and marmite = 201 cals Snack - coffee and Worcestershire...

Ahh brill will add you :) I'm planning on doing the shred later on - eeeek hope it's not too hard! Xx

Hi all! I'm new to cc. Have been on Atkins for about 6 weeks and lost just over a stone. Have decided to switch to cc as I was finding Atkins too limiting and I was craving all of the foods I wasn't allowed. Plus I have stepped up the exercise side of things and was finding it difficult to run...

Hey, Thankyou I will definitely look into that! I think what I've got to bear in mind is that the last stone is going to be tough to lose, and it's going to come away very slowly. I've got a hen weekend this weekend and I'm really hoping not to stray too much! I've bought some Atkins bars to...
