Another Friday - another weigh in. And today I've lost another 3LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooooooo pleased!

Hi ladies! Forging on - although i haven't noticed any other people posting their weigh ins - should i be posting elsewhere the weekly weight? Anyway - I am very pleased with myself today - I weighed in and have lost another 2lb :D. Hope you are all having good weeks?! Wishbird, hope the WW...

Weighed in today and had the shock of my life - I seem to have dropped 4lbs!!!! I hope the scales aren't wrong! All I did differently this week was not be able to do much exercise and have a couple of glasses of wine!!! Doesn't make sense does it? My husband says that perhaps you need to let go...

Thanks Wishbird!! Is no-one else weighing in weekly now or are we meant to be using a different thread?! Ah well, weighed in this morning with a pound loss. Not bad, as I had a couple of glasses of wine this week!! Happy about my weight loss - seems like it's all going to slow down a bit...

Hi! How's everyone doing? I have just weighed in and lost 2lb again this week! :D I have cut down on my snacks though - I am having a shake for breakfast - one for lunch and the 500-600 cal tea and only 1 100 cal snack each day. I just found that I couldn't shift weight if I had all of...

Hey Chiara Difficult one this one.....the only thing I can do to stave off the hunger is to have a coffee.... (my coffee intake's gone up though!) Anita xx

Hi ladies! I'm back after a two week break from the internet (because we moved house and didn't have internet until today!!!). I've managed to lose 3lb over the past two weeks (mainly due to the extra stress and physicality of moving house I think!). So I am quite happy at the moment...

Just a quick question.... When you make your target weight, do you think when you start eating three meals a day again you will put weight on? I am just worried that even if I am not snacking or overindulging, eating three meals a day will see me gain weight, albeit just a little? Anyone have...

Hi Wishbird No - not been ill - we just had to have my daughter's horse put to sleep last Friday week and I haven't recovered, emotionally, yet!! Just feel too sick to eat :cry: - worrying about her and how she's feeling, as well as my own upset! Anyway - I am working on it (might mention it...

Morning ladies! Weighed in today and lost another 3lb! Once again, mainly because I haven't been able to eat properly - I haven't managed to have any snacks at all this week (I've really had to force down the evening meal, if I'm honest!!)> Of course I am pleased with the weight loss - it sees...

Hi Crystal! The answer is yes! It can take some getting used to - but once you've stuck at it a few days it gets easier. I've been on SF for 4 weeks so far and lost 7lbs. Good luck - you'll find lots of help and support here> Anita xx

Hi all I weighed in today and have lost 3lb - not really due to any hard work of mine. Have been struggling to eat for the last three days as I had to have our horse put to sleep on Friday evening - he was very poorly. V traumatic and I am finding it hard to face solid food! Trying to force...

Thanks girls :) - I just felt so down, but thank goodness it's not just me!!! SO demoralising when you do have to take a huge hit coming to SF after SW (not having any free food is really hard!), and you don't lose what you feel you deserve.... I mean, to be honest I think I am already doing it...

I weighed in today after a week of having ready meals in the evening so that i know I didn't go over my calories, etc, and I've only lost 1lb. I know it's a loss and I should be pleased - it just seems that, for the effort I'm putting in, I am just not getting as a high a return as I am...

Well third weigh in for me and I have only lost a pound again. I just can't believe how I can be losing less on SF than I was on SW! :cry: If anyone wants me, I'll be sobbing into my Vanilla Measure up..... A xx

Thanks for your positive comments guys - I am sure that the weigh in monday will reflect all my hard work :) I have found a brilliant site which calculates your BMR and the amounts of calories you need to consume to lose weight. For instance, my BMR is 1450.75 and I do light exercise 3 time...

Feeling ok today - still feeling bloated and almost like I've put weight on around my tummy..... Cant have done, but that's how it feels... Thursday Banana Slimfast - 230 calories 2 Satsumas - 60 calories Strawberry measure up - 211 calories Rocky bar & Snackajacks - 174...

Hi Davey. First of all - don't feel too down on yourself! The first week is the hardest to keep disciplined. Secondly - there are 7 days in a week. Just because you've gone over your calories for yesterday, that doesn't mean the whole week is blown. Just try your hardest to keep the the...

Well, I managed to do half an hour's exercise on the lateral thigh trainer today, followed by about 15 mins of bums and tums exercises> Feel better for having done it but shattered!! Wednesday Strawberry Measure-up - 211 calories Rocky Bar - 85 calories Snack-a-jacks - 91 calories Vanilla...

Hi Awcarly I am exactly the same as you - any negative change in emotion at all makes me want to eat - if I'm lonely, upset, worried, depressed, anything like that. I try to save up two snacks for the evening (I'm too busy during the day to think about it much!!) as that's when the family...

I've had a funny day really (yesterday) - felt bloated for the last couple of days and fat :cry:. However, onwards and upwards!! Really hoping that this food diary will help me to see if and when I go wrong :jelous: Tuesday Strawberry Measure-up - 211 calories Rocky Bar - 85 calories Vanilla...

Hi there. I'm a former SW'er too!! In my first week on SF I lost 2lb (which i was quite disappointed with) and in my second week only 1lb!! Like you, I have been wondering about whether I'd worked out the evening meals calories wrongly. For that reason, this week, I am having healthy ready...

Well, this is my third week on Slimfast - I have come across from Slimming World because our finances are struggling to support all of the weekly food bills!! First week I lost 2lb (I was a little disappointed with that, I must admit!); second week I only lost 1lb (REALLY disappointed with...

Well done Niknax!! Excellent first week. Do you mind me asking - have you been exercising alongside the eating plan?! Anita x

Hi Davey I definitely think it's possible!! You've just got to take each day as it comes - I really think that focussing on how far you have to go is bad for your health, focus on what you're doing to lose the weight each day. Every day you manage to keep to the healthy eating plan is a...

Thanks Emma - I shall start a diary!

Well everyone - i weighed in this morning and I have only lost 1lb :mad: I exercised 5 hours this week too and kept calories to between 1200-1300 every day. No extras here or there or anything. I know it's a loss, etc, but surely i should be losing more than a pound? I think I'm stressing...

Really well done for the losses so far - it's brilliant when you see the scales go lower than you were expecting! I weigh in on Monday morning (I only allow myself to weigh in once a week because I stress otherwise!! ;o). Keep at it - it's great for all of us to hear about good losses - keeps...

Hi all. I am 5'4" and I've just started SF - my current weight is 11st 5lbs and my target is 9st 7lbs. This is the lightest I have been since I fell pregnant with my 3yr old daughter - so I am pleased, but have a ways to go yet!!

Hi there!! I am a fellow refugee from Slimming World! I started exactly the same as you, only last week (last SW weigh in on Monday morning, started SW on the Tuesday). I weighed myself Monday this week and I've lost 2lb. The hardest thing for me to get used to was the fact that once you...

Hi - I'm new to Slimfast (only started last week) so I have a couple of questions and I would really appreciate any answers/advice anyone has for me. 1) I had my first weekly weigh in on Monday (I started Slimfast the Tuesday before) and lost 2lb in my first week - not a bad loss, but according...

Well - first week on Slimfast/Measure-up done and I've lost 2lb in my first week! Honestly, I am a little disappointed :( - when I did the working out thingy on how much I should be able to lose on Slimfast per week (BMR etc) it said 4lbs.... I did the amount of exercise I said I would be...

Thanks for your replies and welcomes!! I went to shop at Asda and found that the ready-made shakes (measure up) were about 65p cheaper than the slimfast ones - but the actual Slimfast powders were the same price as the measure up powder and had three more helpings in each tin!!! So I got some...

Hi there! I am currently on Slimming World and have lost weight well - but am struggling with how much it costs each week (with the classes, the bars and the amounts of fresh food and variation needed each day for three meals!!). I am a Mum of 5 and it's hard to justify strawberries and special...

Thanks, everyone so much for taking the time to post a reply. I was so down earlier that I was thinking i needed to change the plan i am on - but hearing all of your advice has helped me to decide that I will stick with it and see where it goes :) The exercise has been brilliant - but I have...

So, i have had good consistent weight loss for the first weeks I've been on the plan, as follows: Week 1 - 3.5lbs Week 2 - 2.5 lbs Week 3 - 2 lbs Week 4 - 3.5 lbs Excellent right? Then last week only a half a pound - despite my food diary being signed off and loads more exercise than usual...

Thanks ladies - we'll give it a go!!

Hi there, I've been tipped off by my husband that my eleven year old daughter wants to make me some flapjacks as a treat for me for Easter :eek: - Please could ANYONE help me with some low-syn flapjack recipes so that she can make them and so that I can actually eat them rather than 'pretend'...

Only lost half a pound this week..... I lost three and a half that i wasn't expecting last week - but only a half this week... Still - I shall keep on, keeping on.... Well done to all of you with losses this week!!!!

WOW! Not bad losses at all ladies!! Well done :). I weighted in this morning and have lost 2lbs :D. Good luck whoever's weighing later> Angel blessings xx

Thanks liv82 and kankles. I managed to lose two and a half pounds last week - so that was good - i shall persevere!!!

I'm going to give this a go - my mum is 60 at the weekend and is also following SW - she can have birthday cake now!! (If the trial goes well and it tastes ok!!). Thanks for sharing guys :D

WOW!!! :DGREAT STUFF:D - lots of losses this week - this is only my second week posting, so it's great to see so many of you so positive after quite a few weeks on the plan! I lost another 2.5lbs this week (to add to my 3.5lbs last week). Really pleased - going to try and do a little more...

Hello Everyone! :D Like so many of you on here, I want to do this diary for myself - but know that the love and support I will get (and give others) will help to focus my mind when things get tough! A little background. I have four children, 20, 11, 9 and 3. I have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis...

Week One YAY!!! 3.5lb loss in my first week :D. Good luck everyone elso on your weigh in's today xx

Thanks so much guys. I think there is an element of my eating for the sake of eating, so i need to watch that - but then my husband says 'it's all free or superfree so what's the difference - you can eat as much as you like whenever you like'. I guess we still dont really understand how you...

Hi there! I am new to the forum - but really pleased to be part of a cyber-world where we all have a common goal :). It's my first week on the Slimming World plan and our group leader suggested the extra easy to start with - great - I think it's going great... Except I think I'm eating too...
