Thank you so much for working that out Hun. Thanks for your input CatA, I know this already so wanted to see if there is a reason why I was struggling. Those extra 140 cals may help a lot. 1200 cals is not sustainable.

I'm 5'4 and erm 17st - don't tell anyone

...I'm so pleased that minimins is back! Is there anyone on mfp or here that fancies buddying up? I have a lot to lose, about 7 stone so it's going to be a long journey for me but I have finally accepted that quick fixes do not work for me and do more damage than not doing anything. Also, can...

Hey Hun, just wanted to let you know, 3lb off this week - considering I haven't made extreme changes I'm quite pleased

Ahhh thanks for the reply though! It's ok, I just took my 'usual' medication a while after brekkie! X

Anyone??? X

That's an amazing loss so far hun, well done x Yes, I guess that means Thursday is the official way in day, but I am terrible and tend to sneak on those scales before - but I will try my best to resist! Well today, there hasn't been any scary poos as I thought there might be but hey ho, it was...

Hi everyone, another newbie here! I've just been prescribed orlistat and have started them today. I've tried all diets I can think of and went to the docs yesterday for help and she gave me these! The only thing that concerns me - apart from scary poos ? is that I take other medication and I'm...

Hi Teacup, I've just started today after being prescribed them yesterday. I'm really nervous about being on them but fingers crossed it will go well? How are you doing so far? X

*fab weight loss that is!! X

Hey Hun, I've been reading your thread and thought I'd come on and say a big well done for the fav loss! Like you, I have been struggling to get on track properly and this is since my hols last year! I have put back on everything I've lost and some more, so I'm glad you haven't gone down the...

Ah thank you for that! As you may have guessed, I appear to be eating under with what myfitnesspal quoted, so if I go with what the link says, hopefully I will feel less deprived and more likely to stick with it!! X

Bump??

Hello everyone! Well, I am back again. What can I say?! I was cc for almost a year before and I was doing so well - until I went on my hols and failed to get back to my cc ways. I have gained all the weight back and more. For the last couple of weeks, I have been going to the gym and I have...

Ah thank you lovelies. Well, I have been doing a bit of the old Paul McKenna hypnoband as well, but it doesn't appear to work for me, however, I have been eating slower and recognising full and hungry signals a lot more so I guess that's something! Good luck guys, we can do this! Do any of you...

Thank you guys for your words of wisdom! At least I can look back on this thread as a source of inspiration and motivation x

Hello everyone, I am back after doing weight watchers, slimming world, lighter life, secret diet drops, calorie counting. It was actually going well with calorie counting but when I went on holiday, I didn't count my calories and that was it, I have now put on everything I lost and a few pound...

Hey Hun, sorry to butt into your conversation, but please don't feel disheartened, although it wasn't the loss you were hoping for on the scales (still great that you did lose that) it may well show on your waist measurements etc. I have found that on weeks I don't lose so much, I tend to lose...

Hi Everyone, I have returned again! I previously did slimming world and then just plain old calorie counting, put on all the weight I have lost and so I'm starting again! I am looking to do Slim fast with healthy eating days for a while to hopefully boost my weight loss. I have started going...

That is bloomin' amazing! Well done you, you should be well chuffed with that!! Xxx

3 sesame ryvitas with ricotta, rocket and smoked salmon - it was lush! 282 cals x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Me too! But I went for the ham one - it's great that they have the cals next to the food! Xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just wanted to say that today, I received a couple of test tops from next today to see whether I fit into them - I can now officially say that I am in size 16 tops!!! For the first time in bloomin' years!!! So I'm over the moon! I therefore loooooooove calorie counting and should've done it...

I'm not sure why there would be a surge in stairs climbed unless it was part of your workout?! I'm sure I've read it can sense when you have climbed up to a new height - I'm not 100% on that though, but I'm sure it's something I've read on here! Yes, I would try wearing the fitbit whilst you...

Hey lovely, I had the exact same question before - I think there is a thread called 'fitbit users'. I think that is fine as you log EVERYTHING on MFP but I was told to wear the fitbit while doing the exercise and register it on MFP. I thought that this was doubling up on cals but it doesn't...

Thanks for replying - I didn't know that about the fat cells. I will persevere in that case. I know that I'm being loads better than I would be if I ate the way I used to eat so hopefully it will start to show on those scales soon! May have a measure and see xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi everyone, I'm really hoping for some help and advice. Basically, I've hit a bit of a plateau with my weight and the scales don't seem to be moving in the right direction - OK, I know I shouldn't get fixated on this but I'm thinking there must be something I can do? I'm on mfp - embalu88 if...

Oooh good idea! This might sound silly but mine was today, I went to meet a friend for lunch with our boys and I could have had a cake for dessert but didn't! I had the lowest cal pizza that I could find - I checked in advance! It might not seem much but I'm always easily swayed when it comes...

Hey Pam, I just wanted to say good luck - I'm on mfp as well - embalu88 - if you wanted to add me. I felt exactly the same as you, though I feel like I've tried every 'diet' under the sun. After trying an extreme very low cal diet and no carbs which left me so miserable after 3 days! I...

Aw hun, I'm sorry to hear you're down. You know what I'm going to say - draw a line under today and just start again tomorrow. To me, this is going to be a way of my life now to try and keep my eating under control and you're bound to have days like that - you're only human! I had a bad...

Thanks Hun, I actually have a fitbit but I've been having problems with its display and syncing so trying to get refunded - wish I'd got an hrm now! X

Aw hun, that is rather a low amount, especially as you're exercising as well - you must be so hungry? Like frankinstein says, 1200 is probably an ideal starting point and then you can also eat some of your exercise calories back - or I think some people eat them all back x

Hi everyone, I'm starting to introduce actual exercise into my life and have been trying davina which is quite good and I get quite worn out with it! Can I ask what kettle bell exercise is? Ive seen the ball, does it work like weights but with one? Does anyone do it and if so, how have you...

I am going by my fitness pal - great app, have you got it? And mine is 1200 per day x

Hey there Silverlady! Welcome to cc! I've just joined in the last week too as I've just had enough of these different diets and thought about good old calorie counting instead! I found that on sw some weeks, I hope calorie counting works for you xxx

Thanks guys, I have been using mfp and it is a brill app - this morning I scanned a couple of things on there and it recognised it straight away! I just hope that I continue to use it and not get bored of it - if you know what I mean! But so far, yes, I feel liberated - I feel that I can eat...

Omg! Read some reviews, looks hard - I've got Davina and I find that hard enough!! X

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and enjoying this lovely sunny day! Well, after trying numerous diets - lighter life, sw, ww, diet drops, which just end up with me giving up and running away from them and eating the weight I lose, I am just going to try cc - I figure that this is...

That is fantastic, well done Hun!!! X

At least it's not a gain, thatll mean next week, you'll have a mega loss! Xxx

Ok, blimmin' Eck, I lost 3lb! I expect it to slow down now! X

Haha me too! Naked, first thing in the morning and take 3-5 readings just to make sure lol xxx oh and also on the same part of the bathroom floor!! X

Well done Ginmummy! As they say, slower is better, slow and steady wins the race! I know we really want to see it all off immediately but you will have more chance of maintaining it once it's all off! You can do it! X

Oh Hun, what an inspiration you are to us all, well done on looking so blimmin' amazing xxx

Thanks everyone :) How are you all doing today? Sounds like you're all doing really well xxx

Well said hun! I often think, oh maybe I'll ask some question but then I don't bother for fear of being slated x

4lb loss for me in my first week!!! Am quite chuffed with that!

Nice one hun!!! X

Hey hun, I'm like you, starting over again this year and going it alone - or at home! Hope it's going well for you xxx

That is amazing, what an achievement and so quickly! Inspiration xxx

I know what you mean about the classes - they're just not for me either and I don't get any benefit from it other than feeling embarrassed when she read out a gain or even a loss! Just not confident with big groups of people I guess! X

Thanks, it was really nice - hubby made it as well! How are you doing with sw? I see you have great success with the Cambridge diet! What was that like? X

Hi lovely, I am too starting again today and have opted to do it alone rather than going to groups. My counsellor was nice and everything but I didn't feel like I got much out of it, apart from being embarrassed if I didn't have a loss that week! Plus with my kids and my hubby who works shifts...

Hi ladies, my god, I can't believe this thread is still going!!! Well after going off track when I went on holiday last June, I have a lot of time to make up for! I have tried - half heartedly to just eat less and lose more, but it just isn't working. I will be starting again and going it alone...

Aw hun, hope you're ok, just think of it as your turning point and that the only way is down from here on. You can use that moment to spur you on. It happened to me, I got on my scales, saw my weight as the heaviest ever - except when I wad pregnant - and cried. I knew then I had to do...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask for some help/opinions please. My hubby is doing WW with me and it's been our first week. However his WI was today and mine tomorrow - we're doing it online. He has not lost a pound and he is so disappointed. He has been eating under his daily allowance most...

...sorry, it's sad I know, but I had a little biscuit binge and I still have about 30 pp of my weekly allowance left! That's to say I WI on tues morning and 19 pp wasn't solely today! It's my 1st week so I'm well chuffed that I can do this if needs be!

Of course, it's just I think I'm in disbelief with the extra you see! Thanks for your responses x

Do you all spend your weekly allowance? I'm really wary of it and don't think I will lose weight if I use it!! I've just started, this is my first week, I've already spent a point or 2 of my allowance and I think ooh maybe I can have a WW cake or something as I have my weekly allowance! How...

Thanks for your responses, I did indeed point it raw in the, it was 125g precisely so done it at 5 pp. Lovely it was too! Xxx

Woohoo, thanks lovely xxx

Hey Luan, I started yesterday and I'm a little excited by it! I'm following it online as my hubby works odd shifts and I have to little boys to run after! I just had a skinny mocha from starbucks and was quite excited I could have it with my extra weekly allowance! I know, day 2 and I'm...

Hi, I've had a look and am again, confused! I have seen a fillet steak costing 9pp but another costing 4pp?! I know it depends on the weight of it, but I'd be grateful if anyone could shed any light on the matter - especially as I'm having it for dinner tonight!! xxx

Hi, I've just started this plan yesterday. Now I'm quite wary of this extra weekly allowance of 49pp. Can you use it anyway you want to, say, if you have some of these pro points on top of your daily allowance each day - can you do that? I've just treated myself - already, I know! To a...

This is a good thread 1) To take my sons swimming without being an embarrassment/embarrassed 2) To feel good about myself and look good - for myself mainly but also for my hubby - he's sick of me covering up after being together almost 10 years! 3) To fit into size 12's is a dream for me and...

Ooh all sounds nice! Ah Mikado!! How many pp's are they?? X

Not that I have a smoked salmon fetish or anything!!!

Oooh, bagel sounds like a good idea - I might do that with smoked salmon and light phili!!

thank you lovelies xxx

Hi, I've started today and I would love some inspiration for lunches! I have looked in the food diaries and there are a couple of things I might try. I always find lunchtimes the hardest for some reason!! xxx

Thanks lovelies x Nice 1st week loss shelliewoo!! X

Oh, and I'm doing it online! Hubby works weird shifts and I have kids so won't always be able to get to meetings, though this is the first time I've done something like this online - does it require more willpower?!

Ah thanks guys! WW definitely seems that way - I did it 5 years ago and lost 3 stone but I did it the wrong way and all. Had was ready meals. I tried SW which was good, just, I'm not sure if it was for me?? Ok, I think I'll go for the weetabix and banana this morning. I'm thinking maybe...

Well I wish u all the best for tonight, I reckon you'll still be fine!! I skipped coz I knew I gained on hols last week and I'm not in next WI as it's my birthday so thought what was the point, as long as I stay on track! X

Hey Karen, I'm good, glad to be back to normality in a SW sense, not a work sense tho! Skipped last night for the first time but hey ho! How are you? Why are you dreading tonight, how's your week been?

Ah Trix, dont beat yourself up too much - as long as you get back on track, just deal with it and move on Hun, don't fret, it's done x I for one am giving class a miss tonight as per my hols as I've said before, because I'm not going next week, there's no point! Well to me there's not anyway...

Well that's a great loss gun, well done, I think it depends on what your eating habits were before you start SW as well. Sorry if I haven't spoken to you before, sometimes you just get so many comments and I have a brain like a sieve and can't remember all of what I've seen! Especially as I'm on...

Woohoo well done girls, you're doing so well and Trix, I cannot wait to get into that category, you must feel amazing x And well done tootz, that is not bad at all in the grand scheme of things, as you say, the only way is down from here x

Woohoo nice one bobsled! That's a great loss x I have to say with the zumba, I personally think it's quite fast paced for me, but after a few goes I kinda got into it! With the shape fitness, it's a bit more serious, it can set up training programmes based on what you want to get out of it. Me...

Ah I see, thanks though, I'm not that concerned, just wondering what's going on with me but I have a feeling it might be my weight loss as there aren't any other factors at the moment! Though it's not as if I'm losing weight at an alarming rate or anything!!!

Ah Hun, I do the same but I'm also a serial once a day WI which is so bad, especially this morning, I've put on a pound from yesterday and I thought I had a great day yesterday - I know I shouldn't do it! Well we've just got the xbox and we have dance central, zumba - which is tricky but makes...

Woohoo nice one Shelski!! Xxx

Oh Hun, Sending you loadsa hugs xxxx If that's going to make you feel better, then that's the main thing, better to allow yourself this than let it spiral out of control. Remember, we're here if you need to vent, food related or not xxxx

Oh and thanks Karen. Good luck for tomorrow as well and tootz x

Woohoo! Nice one Hun! That's a great loss! Xxx

Ah thank you sweeties! That means a lot xxx

Well lovelies, I lost 3lb which got me my stone award, plus I got SOW which I was so chuffed about! x :D

Ah thanks Hun x Wow, that sounds good, you will have to let us know how you're finding it! Don't worry if you've had a bad couple if days, just put them behind you and move on from it x Thanks guys, that's good to know that a lot of you treat yourselves, can't wait til after my WI now lol x

I know what you mean Trix, sometimes it can kind of 'reset' you so I may well do tonight! Hope ur well lovely x

Thanks lovely, I need it. Yep, I'm feeling fed up today, though it's probably a mix of hormones and stuff going on at home. I keep thinking about having a Chinese or pizza take away tonight after the WI. Hope you're all well today xxx

Ooooh Hun, I'm intrigued, egg pancakes? How do you make them without the flour? I love pancakes! X

Lol I do go on sometimes! Yeah, that's what I was thinking, remain quite healthy but allow for treats! Mmmm ice cream! I will definately expect a gain! Aw Karen, hope ur ok, (((((hugs))))

Ooooh wow, that sounds nice! I did the Heston recipe for waitrose this morning- on EE- boiled eggs with girdled asparagus spears wrapped in smoked salmon and it was rather lush! Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it already, bacon medallions, poached egg, mushroom, tomatoes and toast (hexb) Xxx

Hi all, You're all doing really well, well done to you all :D I've been thinking and although we sometimes seem to go weeks losing minimal weight, STS or gaining here and there, it's just part of the journey, we are learning about our eating habits as we go and what works best for us and to be...

Well done for STS, it's better than a gain - that's the motto! I know what you mean Jo, I want to make sure I do that before my hols in a couple of weeks - OMG I'm having a week off at SW, I'm going to ho mad! Then the following week will be my birthday so it probably won't be a great couple of...

WTG Karen and Shelski! Please give me some of your personal tips, I'd love to get my stone award on Mon!! X

Well done tinytootz for STS Hun, that is great if you had lots of bad stuff, you've probably balanced it out with the good food x Nice one trixy!! Thats a great loss! What did you do to get such a big loss?? X

Lol thanks hun! X

Thanks lovelies, well, another measley 0.5lb off - I know, it's a loss, it's just going soooooooo slow :(

Oh flip. I did it again didn't I?? I weighed myself this morning. Now if the previous weeks are anything to go by, I may be lucky if I even have a .5 loss tonight. It was one night out of 7 and boy is my body making me pay! I'm so upset - yet I know I shouldn't do it but I have to, I'm just...

Woohoo, that's great news, will give it a go this week then xxx

Me too, it's something I'd like to try doing but I think I looked once and got a bit confused - I'm quite ditzy me! I liked the look of the red choice but I was worried about potatoes as I like my syn free chips and couldn't see if I could have potatoes - only new potatoes or a jacket as a hexb?? X

Ah Hun, I am too, whether I've been good all week or not! I am dreading mine tomorrow, feeling very frumpy today :-/ I am sure you will be fine! X

Ah wow, everyone's really motivated! That's really good to read after having a few to many yesterday! I had a lovely time, the ceremony was lovely. Ok food. Well I had lasagne with salad and a fruit salad for main meal which totally filled me up - I guess I hadn't had anything that stodgy in...

Ahhhh thank you my lovely xxx

Welcome back misty, how are you?? Woohoo nice one Jackie! I am dying to get my stone award on Monday, I want another sticker on my book! How sad lol However I have my friends wedding today so not holding out much hope as I shall have a diet coke and voddie or two.....

Yowser! Nice one hun! What a great start x

Ah thank you lovely x I forget how much I have lost over such a short time when I think about it. I must say that I've not done as well as some people on here and it's amazing what peoples losses have been. I have been trying to eat a lot more fruit and veg and that's that! Soup is great for...

Welcome to Gemma and Diane, good luck for tonight!! Let us know!! Oh dear, was just giving my boys some of their Easter eggs and have to say I nibbled a piece or two, or three......or four!! It tasted so good! I'm so weak! Lol x

OMG Karen, I thought you had stayed the same! Sorry Hun xxxx how'd you do?

Ooooh shelski! That sounds lush, though I had one a couple of weeks ago, had full fat with chicken kickers and some garlic bread and chocolate later - I went too mad! Well done you and Karen for STS, and trixy, you'll soon be saying farewell to that lb again no problem x

Woohoo that's fab and no, it's defo not a hexb cereal! Oh wow that's great to know x

Hi lovelies, I've just had a thought which may have excited me a little lol Every so often, I treat myself to this cereal which with the milk is 9.5 Syns! That's why it's a treat! However, I use the milk out of my hex a so does that mean I should only be synning the cereal part only? X

Aw Hun, it's good that you did lose though, just make sure you're good this week and I'm sure the losses will continue x Karen!!! Good luck, look forward to hearing this evening :)

Flippin' 'eck! Thanks Jackie, I can't believe its a whole pack of butter?! X

Ahhh I see! I thought there was a special save button or something - I'm so stooopid lol! Well, lucky me, after my bad week, I lost 0.5lb - I am very lucky and I am not going to indulge tonight like I did last week. I have my friends wedding on Friday so that will be enough for the week I...

Thank you lovely, how do u save them through your iPhone - I know, I'm completely dense!! X

Hi everyone, does anyone know, if you see a recipe or something that will help and this website, is there anyway you can save them??

Morning everyone, Well, I had a cheeky weigh in on my scales this morning and it looks like I will put on tomorrow eve. Ah well, not a lot I can do about it apart from be good. :( As it's been said before, it always seems to go wrong when you get near a target! But when I look at it over all...

Well done Jackie! It's great isn't it. Well, yesterday was another bad day for me, but I don't feel too bad about it, there was picky bits and wine - I have now realised I cannot hack wine as it no longer agrees with me so I'm resigning myself to the fact I will have a gain on Mon...

Nice one funky!! X

Aw you are all lovely, thank you so much for the support - it means a lot x Well done JoC, that's a great loss - I can't believe it's that amount of butter lost, amazing when you think about it like that x

Thank you lovelies x thats the thing with this whole being big malarkey, it's getting back up and staying there. I think it's the first time since I started that I felt like I lost control - even though I've indulged before, I tried to keep in check while doing it, but this time I didn't think...

Great losses ladies, well done!! I er over indulged shall we say on Monday night after my lovely loss and I have been scolding myself ever since as I just took it too far and felt terrible afterwards. I really wanted to get to a stone loss with SW for Monday but now I've sabotaged it for...

Nice going Trixy!!! X

Woohoo nice one shelski!!

Thanks lovelies and Karen, I knew you could do it! X

Wahey! 3lb loss!! Finally! Thank you superspeed soup and fruit! I think I have learnt that my losses will be more when I eat the fruit and veg more. Thanks Aisling - you bought that to my attention when I read your food diary and realised how much less fruit I was eating compared to you. I...

Thanks trixy, I need it too as * week, always worse on * weeks! X

Hi! Good luck! Karen and I WI tomorrow also so let us know how you get on x

Hey everyone I know, it's been really tough! We look forward to having this weather but it brings the lure of bbqs and alcohol as well! I made a large batch of superspeed soup yesterday, had some yesterday and today, it's nicer than I thought it would be and I need it also as it's * week for...

I had them yesterday for my picnic and they are one of the best things I have made slimming world wise! Thank you!!

Just finished making and eating and I cannot believe how much I have made and it is lovely!! Thank you! x

Ok, lovely! Fruit for brekkie then and a lovely picnic, I actually can't wait, going to make a pasta and a chicken salad also! X

Yes *bump* I would love to do these for a picnic with my boys tomorrow, I would love to know how many Syns these would be, please could anyone tell me??? X

Wow well done you ladies, you're all doing soooo well x Thank you for that aisling and trixy, it has made me realise that perhaps I'm not having enough fruit, so raspberries, blackberries and muller light with an apple and a hifi bar - half hexb and I am strangely full from all that! X

Keep us posted! Good luck xxx

OMG aisling, that is brill! Ok girls, I need you all to post your food diaries to me!!! X

Yeah good luck hun, it'll be fine! X

Hehe, well I was at least hoping for a couple more 2lb losses at least, especially at the beginning - but then again I was on Lighter life the week before starting SW so my body was probably adjusting. Hmmm, I might give it a go next week just to see what it's like and whether I do find it...

Yowser! That's great Hun, well done xxx

Hi lovelies, I'm currently doing the EE plan and although there have been the very occasional naughty day, my weight loss has been a bit slower than I thought for the weight I am. I was just wondering whether the EE plan is personally not the one for me, maybe red and green days might agree...

Aw thank you lovelies x Good luck trixy, when is yours? X

omg hun, did you go??? did you lose 3.5lb?! You're doing blimmin' amazing!!! I lost 1lb which im quite chuffed with, just goes to show that going back on to it can undo some of the bad stuff you have xxx

Ah well done to you too, I think that happened to me as well when I gave up, just over 2 years ago now! Am not happy about tomorrow and expecting the worse but I want to go so I cab deal with it. How about you, though yours is on tuesday now!

Oh I see! It all makes sense now, thank you all for clearing that up xxx

As I do not understand the logic of this, why if you juice or puree fruit, why does this add a syn values to them? I don't understand as wouldn't they still contain the same amount of calories/sugar in them? Xxx

Morning everyone, how are you all on this lovely Sunday? Hope you are all well. I have just ordered some next size down clothes as my next sort of mini goal kinda thing, I just hope it works! It's really weird as before, if I'd have a couple of 'free' days, I'd be tempted to carry it on and I...

No way, you're doing so well!! I loved the restaurant but the other bits I had weren't worth it - I'm actually becoming a bit disappointed with cakes that I had - a few over the last couple of days! Only one of them was worth it and the rest didn't meet my expectations! So every time I feel...

Hey Hun, I wish you luck for this week in that case, maybe if you make sure you have lots of fruit about so you can pick at them if you need to? I know though, it's easier said than done sometimes isn't it? Ok, water water, I shall go for it! Oh and ss!!! Lol x

Hi everyone, It's been a while, how are you all? Well, I've just had a couple of days off - the in laws came over and we were out and about a lot so let's say I indulged a bit! We ate out on thurs night at 'jamies italian' and it was delicious, but yesterday, we had a take away curry with my...

I know Booly! I remember with ww a few years ago and I was starving too! At least this one is more realistic and hopefully have a better chance at maintaining?? X

Nice one hun, I'm so pleased for you, you're doing sooooo well! :happy096: I lost a pound, so it's better than I thought and it's going in the right direction! I think I was expecting about 2lb losses every week but it hasn't really been the case - but then again I don't really feel like...

Haha, I love dreams and their weirdness, I had a dream about a chocolate crunch Easter egg which had all the crunch in it as well and I really wanted some but ended up using it as a bowling ball at a bowling alley! Wtf?! Analyse that one! I've had a not too good week :( I've been keeping within...

I will, I will, I am adding to my shopping list now! I really like warm normal weetabix with sweetener and banana so the choc one should be great! Thank you Karen! Another little recipe to try! X

Yeah I do, banister pie??! Hehe! X

Nice one! Wow you'll get there in no time xxx Well, I tried the cake thing - I did the cupcakes - probably do what you did next time Karen. Anyway, they're not too bad, I'm thinking that they will be enough for my sweet tooth though, I didn't have any vanilla essence so I'm not sure if that...

Oooh I'm so excited! Just what I need for my sweet tooth fix! Thanks Hun, didn't really like the thought of using scran bran!

Ah I see, so how many Syns are there in the whole cake and how do you divide it? Might try making it this arvo!

OMG OMG, ok, just before I get too excited as it looks so scrummy, 1 cupcake = 1 syn???! OMG if that's the case I'll make a batch up every week!

Woohoo! Nice one on the loss Hun, your body was just catching up with itself! Brilliant loss! It is lovely today isn't it?! Had a BBQ yesterday with my syn free sausages and it was lovely! I was going to do zumba this morning but it's just been so nice, I've been outside all day! I will do...

I've done a search but couldn't find anything myself. What is the deal with sugar free gum - I see that on the SW website they are like 1/2 a syn for 2 orbit completes or 4 extras, so if I were to have the 1, would it be free? X

Joes sausages are syn free and quite lovely, especially the garlic and chilli ones! However, they are not widespread and I've ordered them through my group or they are online but you have to buy a minimum of 6 or 8 items - can't remember off the top of my head. Hth x

Ooh Lesley, welcome and good luck tonight, it will all be fine. I know, that was one of the hardest weeks of my life and I was so miserable - I'd rather be fat and happy than do that one again! - I was going to do SW in the first place but I wanted to see results fast as I have a lot to lose but...

Aw Hun well done! It's a loss at the end of the day and just think what it could be next week xxx

lol I've just been trying to do all that. I went on my profile on the SW website, go to your profile and your awards and save the image, then I had to upload picture to signature - there's probably a better way to do it but that's just me!!!

Well done!!! Fantastic! It was 1.5 off for me so 7lb award tonight, bronze body magic and into the 14's tonight! Mega happy! X

Ah thanks Hun, I've just put in a request x

Kewl! I was just wondering, sorry if this sounds corny but does anyone want to be friends on Facebook also? If so, let me know xxx

Ahhhhh I know what you mean, I want to get to that half stone loss also but I can see what your other half is saying, just incase it's say a 2 lb loss he doesn't want you to get upset. However, I happen to believe you will do really well, given your weight loss for last week xx Mines at 5.30 too! X

Thanks Karen, how are you feeling about today? I reckon you're going to have a really great loss this week, where as I had a couple of indulgences :( I'm nervous already lol x

Trimtrixy, I have that too! And I was absolutely shattered after! I'm sooooo scared of tomorrow! It's so sad really lol x

Oooooh nice one Zoe! I bet that was a great confidence boost - it would be for me! Keep us posted with his mate! I know Hun, need to look for some cake recipes - I was well and truly craving the sweet stuff yesterday! Yep, the WI is tomorrow and I'm sooooo dreading it. I think I've put on or...

Lol sorry, I meant I don't like blow outs close to weigh ins lol xxx

I know, but u dont like having the blowouts so close to weigh in day lol! I know, I just want to eat today but I've got to be good!! You up to anything this weekend?

Lol I know what you mean but at least you've covered everything!! Hope you have a nice time tonight xxx

Well I went out last night, did a little good and a little not so good. I had 2 vodka and diet cokes, a sweet pepper and chicken soup, plaice with new pots and salad for main and er, a bit of sticky toffee pudding - which is so not worth it because it wasnt that nice oh, and a latte and an...

Morning Hun, am feeling a little sleep deprived as my 15 month old had me up til 3am - he is teething. Still, don't want want to let that spoil my night out tonight, though feel very weird and out of it at the moment! How are you all today? Xxx

Hey Hun, Dont feel down, you're doing really well so far. Just think, in a few months time how slim you could be. Maybe think about what your next mini goal could be?? Xxx

Well done funkymonkey, it's better than a gain - I reckon with the weight that if you STS, or even maybe put in a little, you may well have lost the inches and it's just your body catching up with your weight loss - this is my theory so I'm not sure if it's entirely true but there you have it...

Hi, I would love to know the same for a pub measure of vodka also if possible please?! I'm going out tomorrow night and thinking of replacing the vino! X

Haha, me to Socialbutterfly! I'm too scared to try Scran Bran also. I'd like to try it in a cake as I've heard it can be nice, but I'm still not convinced! Trim Trixy - that is an amazing weight loss - very inspiring to me I have to say. Good on you x I liked blue smarties views on the mini...

Booly, that's a great loss, well done and miss kk, your diary sounds good to me. When I think about what I ate before in comparison to what I'm having now, it's mad really - I find that I'm having so much less bread than before and I used to have olive oil lots as for some reason I thought it...

haha, that's a daily occurrence for me too though! You should have seen the state of me afterwards! I'm so tired - I thought exercise was supposed to make you feel better! Lol :D

Hi everyone, It sounds like everyone is doing really well this week! It's nice coming on here and getting all this positivity and tips, it's great! I went on the wii fit today, I usually find an excuse not to but when I do, it's always much more fun than I thought! I have the wii fit + also and...

Well done on the weight loss Hun, that's great x I wonder how we will all do this week?? Zoe, I'm glad you didn't reach for the choccy. I know what you mean, that's something I do all the time, but it's boredom for me that really bad, but luckily we haven't got anything majorly bad in now we're...

Woohoo! Nice one hun - what a great start! x

Hi lovelies, Just thought I'd pop in and let you know that I lost 3lb tonight! My biggest weight loss at Slimming World so far and I'm so chuffed :happy036: Social Butterfly, how did you get on? Good luck for those who have their WI's tomorrow xxx
