Well done everyone. I lost 1.5 lbs this week taking me to 12stone 1lb! Ooh will I be leaving you lovely people next week?

Hi everyone just checking in, lost 1.5 lbs last week and 2lbs this week, taking me down to 12stone 2.5, slow and steady......

That's great, bet it wasn't as bad as you thought x

I would say don't wait any longer to go back to group. You'll be welcomed back with a smile. If you're nervous give your consultant a call beforehand. Don't ever think that you're the only person who has been through this.....I could write a book! The only option is to keep getting back on that...

Mine's on a Tuesday morning

:wave_cry:Hi everyone! I'm back with my tail between my legs. Like dreamslim I've had a 3 month break, given up smoking, had a holiday, not followed plan etc etc and gained over a stone. What's done is done and I'm back before any more damage is done and my eyes start to disappear into my chubby...

Hi emmylou! When I used to wear docs as a student they took ages to break in, they do eventually. Wear them around the house with a couple of pairs of socks on. Well done on your loss, you're doing great :)

Started packing for my hols and was trying my summer shorts on, they are all massive. So phoned my best mate ( who's a size 12) and asked her if she had any I could borrow. Well she did and they fit, who'd have thought it :)

Hope you had a lovely birthday Sadie :D

Great stuff Sadie, oooh not long til you see a 10! ;)x

I agree with the others, setting yourself unachievable goals will shatter your self esteem. ( done it myself) instead maybe just plan on having a 100% week, don't worry about how much you'll lose. Just focus on how healthy you'll feel, shiny hair , clear skin etc. The weight loss will come...

Thanks Pesty, I know I noticed that the other day, it's quite a lot really ;) It's taken a few years to shift so I forget how big I was. This last 1.5 stone is clinging on for dear life, but I won't let it beat me :)x

Hi Pesty and Binibecca, lovely bunch here! Binibecca, who knows about setting a target? the lowest I've ever been in my adult life was 10stone 10lbs, so I'll get there first and see how I feel. Maybe set yourself small goals and see how you feel? Or maybe the top end of healthy BMI? anyway I'd...

No it's a different hotel, not saying the name cos it looks a bit dodgy ;) We're at the top of a big hill, so plenty of body magic, as well as swimming. I'd hope for the other type of body magic with my hubbie, but with 3 kids there's no chance of that hehe! ;)

Sooo impressed, yes we're going to puerto del carmen too, never been before. I'm going to follow your example and stick to plan. I'd be happy with a maintain, but if I lost well that would be amazing :)

That's fab trango you've given me hope, I'm going to lanzarote for 2 weeks all inclusive. How did u find the food? Did u stick to plan? Well done, u should be very pleased with yourself :) x

That'll be gone plus more next week ;) You've been so good, you're allowed a little treat now and then :D

It certainly does take longer to get off than it does to put on :(

I lost 1.5lbs this week taking me to 11st5 lbs Happy enough with that as it's * week and I'm very bloated. One more week until my hols, so I'm going fir a 100% week as although I'm not where I wanted to be for my hols, I don't feel too bad :)

I'm at a barbie later too, I've made tandoori chicken and roasted veg with giant cous cous to take with me to be on the safe side :D

Well done Annie! How many SE days did you do?

Back on the Success Express train today, I had a maintain this week, but that was lucky as I only did 2 days SE and had 2 bad days. I'm thinking the SE days prevented me from gaining, so it's all good. I'm going for 4 days SE this week and 3 days EE. Plan for today (SE) 2 choc weetabix...

Well done Ninnins! I'm afraid you're showing me up good and proper at the moment :( I maintained this week so still 11st6.5lbs ;) Not to worry a maintain is better than a gain and I'm more in control than ever. In the past that would have been a monumental gain

I suspect it's partly why some of us have weight issues in the first place? I said to mine the other day, " I've got a jumpsuit for the family wedding, I love it" she replied "oh it's sleeveless, are you not conscious of showing the tops of your arms"!!!! It used to bother me a lot, but I'm not...

Oh mum's aren't they so lovely pointing out our flaws? My face is quite round, think I'll always have chubby cheeks, hey what can you do? You've got to make the most of what you've been given. ;) xx

Thanks you pair of sweeties :D Clareel go for it, you'll be glad you did xx

Well done everyone on your losses and if you've moved into the tens that's amazing! Well I took the plunge and got my hair chopped into a shoulder length bob, so happy I did as it looks lots thicker. It's so easy to style too, should have done it ages ago. Font think you can see it very well...

Very impressed! Fabulous :) x

I meant must NOT DO haha! X

Just be aware that your losses will slow eventually and you might even hit a plateau. That's when it gets really tough and what you must do is start eating less. Just more of the good stuff. ;)x

Believe me I've done some research into this subject!! I've list over 5 stone and my problem areas are tummy and arms. Youth is on your side, other things already mentioned, moisturise daily it does help, drink plenty of water, avoid too many processed foods and drinks even low fat/ cal...

I think it's all too easy to get obsessive if you're that way inclined. Maybe try having some breakfast to keep your blood sugars level. Another thing is to chew your food very slowly to give your body time to realise when you are full. How much more have you got to lose? ( can't see stats on...

How did you get on Zoe? :Dx

I love your outlook Capricorn! So positive and jolly, wish more people were like you :D x

Make sure 2/3 plate is veg and u can have 1 or 2 As and 2Bs

Well done Sadie, you're doing brill! Thanks Shelski :D Need to sort my hair out, it's gone really thin and whispy since I had my last little boy (now 2 1/2) so I'm taking the plunge and having it chopped tonight!! Bit scared, I was thinking a graduated bob to make it look thicker? Any hair...

Do you know why Annie? When did u start SE? Chin up ;)

Well done bobsled, that'll be a doddle ;)

Have a fab holiday trango! I'm off there in 3 weeks :D

No ( correct me if I'm wrong) you can mix red and green as long as 2/3 meal is superfree ie veg or fruit

Have you tried success express? I'm giving it a go this week for a boost. First day today has been great. Look it up on here and see what you think?

You will, you will. It's not a race, to be honest I've been struggling lately. Not lost much since beginning of June. The point is we just stick with it and never give up! What's the alternative? No thanks I'd rather be a slow loser than start seeing the scales go up x

I do a nice tomato soup that's still speedy, but not too heavy for this time of year. Carton passata with basil, tin tomatoes, 2 carrots, red pepper, red onion, 1/2 pint veg stock, salt, pepper and chilli flakes. Simmer all together for about half an hour then blend. It's gorgeous and easy to make

Thanks Brightnatty, I forget I've lost so much as it's slowed down a bit over the last few months. I follow all 3 plans, but get the best losses with red days and plenty of superspeed foods, ie. melon, strawberries

Hi Emmylou, well done on the great loss! You're not on your own honey, you've got us ;) Keep it up, it's starting to move again. Really pleased for you :Dx

Hi! Do you mind if I join in? I've started success express today. I've been faffing about for a while now ( think I'm putting myself under too much pressure) Anyway I go away in 3 weeks and would be happy with a loss for each of these weigh ins. How's everyone doing? I've had weetabix...

Didn't go to get weighed yesterday as I couldn't face a gain on the scales (rocky weekend) I'm back on track 100% though and trying success express this week to give me a boost. I enjoyed the blow out very much, but now it's time to get on with the business of getting into the tens ;)

That was about you Fiona btw! X

Aww my little 2 year old boy has just said she's beautiful! ;) from the mouths if babes x

Ooh you've got a teeny waist (jealous) my waist is a 32" I'd say I'm a 14, but some 14s hang off me and some 12s are miles off fitting! I think a 32" waist is a 14 - 16 but I'm not that?? Flipping sizes they're a nightmare!! I think I'll be quite happy in a comfortable small 12? But there is...

Hey ninnins just noticed we're the same height, with same goal, only you're 1.5lbs lighter than me!! Do you mind me asking what size clothes you're in? (sorry if that's personal, I won't tell anyone) hehe ;) x

Yey! We're the best, I love this little group! :D ;D

Hi Pepshouse, you will show that rude person! I can't believe how awful and nasty some people are :( You're in the right place for all the support you need, it's been invaluable to me to come on here and speak to like minded people. I don't think I could have done it without the support. It...

I've found it's too much pressure for me personally, so for august I've set my goals a bit lower. I've got to realise I'm not going to have the massive losses I had at the beginning as I'm getting closer to my target :D

My last weigh in for July and I didn't achieve target. I am lighter by 4lbs though which I'm happy with :D New month new challenge, well done to everyone who achieved their goals! Aaliyiah 7lbs (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) Annya 4lbs (3.5lb lost, 0.5lbs to go) Baby-belle 5lbs (1lb gain, 6lbs to...

Well done Zoe! I finished level 1 day 10 yesterday, although it's taken over 2 weeks! :D

Well done funcurls! Bet you feel great! I can't wait to be in the 10s either, the last time for me was 1997 when I was 22! This time when I get into the 10s I plan to stay there, not just visit it for a few months ;) Thanks for your support last week when I was so down, it really helped me to...

Good luck for weigh tomorrow everyone! :)

Hi! Yes it's with freestyle fitness, (in Urmston) tried it on Thursday, it was pretty hard work and not as much fun as zumba, but I needed something more intense and they do traditional toning exercises at the end which is what I need. I was pretty achey next day, especially stomach and arms (my...

Hi cakey, love your name :D

Point your neck to the ceiling, well done hon. You'll soon notice a difference ;)

Hi Tracy! You'll find everyone here lovely and supportive, good luck on your journey :D

Since January the weight has been coming off at a steady pace of roughly 1/2 a stone a month, which I was chuffed with. However since beginning June I've lost 4lb! It's been up and down and when I have a 100% super duper week, I'll lose 1.5lbs. I know it's still coming off, but now it's very...

That's because it is! And you can buy your clothes there! Fabulous! ;)

Thanks Funcurls! I've found it pretty easy to lose the weight so far (well not easy, but you know what I mean) This has been the first time I've hit a barrier, obviously as you get smaller it isn't as easy, but I still have a way to go. Suppose I just have to keep plodding on? Otherwise what's...

Thanks ninnins! Well done on the 2 lb loss... I've not forgotten about our race ;) x

Thanks so much charmel and shivvy, just what I needed to hear! Yes I can do it! Good luck for weigh in shivvy :D xx

:cry:I had a 1.5lb gain yesterday, so upset still :sigh:

So upset with a 1.5lbs gain this week :( I'm really struggling at the moment, back up to 11st 8.5lbs, 6 weeks until my hols and I so want to be in the 10s for then

Hi Joanna! I know this is an old thread but did you try aeromix? I'm thinking of going to a class on thurs, just wondered if you knew any more about it? Thanks x

What phone have you got? I've got an app on my iPhone called period tracker, it's ace ( and free) it tells me when I'm due, when I'm ovulating and when I'm fertile. ( not tonight dear I'm fertile) :D

As 4 weeks isn't a very long time, I would concentrate on inch loss as well, maybe try something like the 30 day shred in which people have huge inch loss. This will also help with how you feel ready for your holidays :D

Sounds like my kind of night! Goodness if we can't have a bit of fun now and then, what's the point? You've got right back on track, which is often difficult, especially with a hangover! So well done, pat on the back ;)

Nice one Kingleds! One of the main reasons that motivated me to finish losing weight was at christmas I had a girls night at my house and in all the photos I am the 'fat one' looking forward to inviting them all again this year and not dreading the photos :D

You already look great in your photos, you've already got a flat tum! Well jel! ;) It'll be perfect for you, you'll have abs to die for by the end,promise. Google before and after 30 day shred and have a look at some of the amazing results (no I don't work for Jillian ;) I've done myself a sad...

Well said morrigan! :)

Yes you need trainers, lots if jumping about

Emmmm............well........yes! But you won't die, you'll feel as though you might but you'll be fine by day 4, you'll ache that's all, don't think anyones ever died from achey legs? Oh and yes I think it's totally ok to say to random people, feel my bum it's well firm innit ;) xx

I'm changing from Tues morn weigh in to Tues tea time, I'm worried I'm going to have a gain because of the change in times. But obviously I don't want to get into a cycle of starving myself all day before weigh in? :confused: :sigh:

Hi Zoe I'm doing it at the moment! It works ;) You only need a mat if you've got a hard floor? If you've got a rug use that or even a beach towel would do? You def need the weights though or tins, I recommend about 2.5 - 4lb weights. Good luck, let us know how you get on, you'll be amazed at the...

I wouldn't say it was whinging, I found it quite therapeutic to talk about experiences that frankly most other people don't relate to. I have done something about my weight and will continue to do so as everyone here is also doing. Surely if we can't talk on here, then where can we talk?

I'm still quite standoffish with people, I don't mean to be rude it's just my defence mechanism. I've lost 5 stone and I'm not keen on the attention that can bring, eg "have you lost weight?" people are just being nice and it's all totally my issue. I went to zumba on my own last night ( my best...

The plan does work guys, there is lots of proof of that around. Like Elaine says go back to basics, try some new recipes shake your A and B choices up, up the water. We ALL have these bad times, it's how you deal with them that counts, I've been through this numerous times and I can't tell you...

Just be patient girls, you never know ;)

My usual style of cooking bung everything in the pan and hope for the best! ;) I've got lean pork steaks, I'll cube them and add onion, peppers, mushrooms, carton passata, tomato puree, little bit chilli, salt, pepper, mixed herbs and a tin of butter beans, couple veg oxos and simmer for about...

We did a practice of that last week, we're doing it properly tonight:D I love all the Shakira ones, especially she wolf. We sometimes do Zorba the Greek which is a laugh. I can only get to go to a class once a week, I'd be there every night if I could! I love it. I've got Wii Zumba but I hardly...

Pork and butter bean casserole in tomato sauce with rice and sw chips

I've got my blouse tucked in my trousers for work today! I'm not 100% comfortable with it, but I've lost a button on the blouse so needed to hide it. Doesn't sound like a massive deal, but it's a biggie for me :D

Fantastic Sadie! May all our losses be big ones ;)

Hi Jackie! Hope you're ok? (sorry to hijack your diary Zoe :)) xx

Just goes to show, it's how we all deal with the bad times. We're all in the same boat honey, struggling along. Some days are easy and I think what's all the fuss about....other days are damn hard and I think what's the bloody point? The point is we're all getting there and fingers crossed we'll...

Nice one Zoe! Ps I prefer you like this ;) xx

Thanks guys :) I know what you're saying, but I've still got a way to go, I'll be lowering my target once I get to it ( I set it when I was much bigger) if I kept my target as it is I'd still be overweight. It's silly of me to compare, should know after all this time that hard work sometimes...

Good grief guys! What have you all been doing to get such enormous losses? I had 100% week and exercised every day, 30 day shred, walking and zumba ( not all in same day) and only lost 1.5 lb :( secretly a bit gutted actually, especially after seeing such great losses from you lot. I'm happy for...

Fantastic ellebear I know that was one of your main goals, you're going to look amazing :D Well I've just been in mango and tried on a pair of shorts and a summer dress in a size L, well they were both too big :D so I asked the shop assistant what size an L was and she said a 12!!!! Now I'm not...

Maybe you're putting yourself under too much pressure? Why not go for smaller more achievable goals and if you beat them, then that's fantastic. If you beat yourself up like this it isn't going to do your self esteem much good and that's not what you're doing it for ;) It's a long road ahead and...

Hi I would use 10 syns a day and to speed up weight loss up your speed and superspeed foods, drink plenty of water, vary your diet and your B choices. Cutting syns can have an adverse effect and you'll also start to feel deprived. It's much better like I said to maybe go for raspberries instead...

Wow Tinytootz that's fab! Misty don't be too disheartened I'm sure your body is getting used to the meds, keep plodding along and you'll be rewarded on the scales eventually. I try and look at weight loss over a month, if I weigh less at the end of the month than I did at the beginning, I'm...

My WI was last night and I've lost 4.5lbs.... In one week!! How I did that i will never know. Only half a pound away from the stone sticker now which is very exciting. Xx Come on bobsled, give us your wisdom! Have u done anything different to get such a fab loss?

Well done on your losses ladies fantastic! It has gone very quiet on here lately, come on girls we need the motivation. I lost 2lb on tues, I was thinking this morning another 9lb's and I'll be in the tens- wow, not been in the tens for 15 years :D :D

I've just done day 1 level 1 of 30 day shred, last time I did it I was a stone heavier. This time I found it much easier to manage, last time I thought I was going to die, today I was red faced but not fighting for breath! So pleased, of course I'm losing weight to look better, but the health...

Haha! Ok you're on ;)

Oh noooo, my worst nightmare (yes I'm anal) naughty naughty man ;) (lovely for doing all the cooking, but still) :D

Zoe!!! Don't give up,just had a look at a couple of your food diaries, if you eat like that every day you should be losing? Suggestions....up your water intake massively, up your speed and superspeed foods. Vary your A and B choices every day. Try scan bran you can buy it from holland and...

Well done ninnins! I lost 2lb this week also making me 11.8 1/2 nearly half way :D

Bacon meat and fat 28g grilled 1 rasher 4 on a green day 2 on ee. Don't beat yourself up about it, you've got ages to pull it back, but I doubt a bit of bacon will make u gain ;)

Bacon is free if lean, was it fried and with fat?

I'm having the same problem, it costs a bomb losing weight. I put some things on eBay, to make some money to buy a few new things. There are some great sales on the moment, river island and mango have massively reduced their summer stock. Well done though, no more sweaty thighs and back boobs...

Well done Sadie, you are both doing so well! Loved the comment from your ex sister in laws friend, made me giggle :D x

Hi everyone, well I STS this week, I messed about in June, only losing a couple of pound overall. I've decided July is the month I'm gonna get this weight shifting. I WILL be at the bottom end of the 11s by the end of July, no more messing about :D

Think I was a size 10 when I was about 8 years old :( Now some 12's fit, which feels pretty amazing to me :)

Thanks girls, feel much better now I've confessed ;) Impossibledreamer I think we can both achieve our goals, they r realistic and healthy. I'll let u know how I get on on tues, i'll look forward to seeing your progress. Enjoy the rest of the weekend :D xx

I had 4!!! :( plus some cider, don't even know why I did it, they weren't even that nice. I'd been food shopping and was really hungry when I got back. I seem to keep letting myself get too hungry lately and I know there's really no need. So line drawn under that incident, I've planned well for...

Hi Tues weighers! I had a bad run in with some custard doughnuts yesterday, do you think it's possible to pull back and still get a loss by Tuesday? So fed up with myself, as I'm getting closer to y target I'm finding it harder. :( :(

That's fantastic hoping you must be so pleased :D

Well said sausage! Your friend sounds like she has real issues, I mean dropping and gaining weight because of a man? You're doing it for yourself for the right reasons, to be honest this would make me quietly determined to show her that you are in control of yourself ;) xx

Yeah we're about half way, I think I like this challenge the best out of all the ones I've done because you can see the bigger picture. I remember starting it and thinking I'll be near my target by August and I couldn't imagine it. Now it's within reach and boy it's been a long time coming ;)...

You look gorgeous Zoe, even with manky feet! hehe You seem to be surrounded by some very attractive men, which is never a bad thing ;)xx

I'd probably suggest to go and get measured properly then you can look online for your size, then at least you know what size you are. These little things make us feel better as women, there's nothing worse than uncomfortable undies ;)

That's awful news Bobsled, really awful, but like you said she is young fit and clean living so has the best possible chance to get better. Go you, a consultant, ooh we better watch what we say now ;) but seriously well done. We are all in charge of our own destinies to a certain extent. :D xxx

Debenhams is really good, I don't find M&S great, you'll be amazed how much slimmer you'll look with a proper fitting bra as it lifts you and supports you (just like a good friend hehe) ;) xx

Just been to get measured for a bra and I've gone from a 40D to a 34-36DD :D :D So happy! No wonder my old ones were looking baggy ;)

I tend to limit myself to max 2 bananas and 2 muller lights in one day, I also watch grapes. Although I'd say eating more of these things is obviously much better than snacking on the wrong stuff :)

Hi everyone, don't post often on this bit but I always read your inspiring comments. Lost 1.5 lb today taking me down to 11.10 1/2 I've messed about a bit in June, the first real hiccup I've had.

wow Surreygirl, just noticed how fantastically you are doing! Well done. I need a kick up the bum, you have now motivated me to GET ON WITH IT ;) x

Hi Zoe, how's it going? Don't worry about the little snack attack, get back on the wagon. I worry about you when you dont post! ;) x

Hooray! Nice one misty, know you've been after that for a while, well done chick xx

Hi everyone, just checking in to see how everyone is. Update- remember last week I gained 5.5lb? Well on weigh in on Tues I lost 6lbs :D :D chuffed that the gain has gone plus 1/2 a lb for good measure :D Probably in the past I would have given up at the point where I had a huge gain, but...

Oh Jackie, that's horrible. If I were you I'd bloody well show her! Don't say a word to her about being on a diet and ask the kids not to mention it either. There's nothing people hate more than someone proving them wrong ;) xx

It's by birthday on weds, 36, still feel like a teenager though ;) x

I think you'll love it angel ;) most days it doesn't feel like a diet. Good luck and welcome :) x

Hi Zoe, you know you can do it if you really want to. Come back over to weight loss buddies, there's some lovely new ladies and you'll get the extra support you need. ;) xxx

Happy birthday coljack! NSV just stuck some too big clothes on eBay, too nice not to. I'm going to treat myself to some smaller clothes soon. It is sooo expensive this losing weight business. Anyone else having the same problem? ;)

Love your hair Funky :D Happy birthday Em! A fellow Gemini like me ;) have a lovely day xx

Did you read that article I posted about being a bit scared to be slim? Interesting read, not saying were all the same, but I think there's an element of truth in some of it

Glad your hubbie is ok Shelski, bet that was a fright! How's everyone getting on this weekend? I'm feeling so much more positive after my huge blip last weekend. Think I'm going to avoid the booze for a while. It's a depressant and gives me the serious munchies for days after. ;)

I've got the Paul McKenna app on my phone, think I'll start listening to it again. It really helped last time....and I can't afford a shrink which is what I really need ;) xx

Thanks Jackie, I think with good support these barriers can be broken. At this point I've starting gaining many, many times. This time I'm going to confront my emotions. I don't have all the answers, but I went through the same wobble about a stone ago. I don't want it to beat me, so thank you...

Found this interesting article, I think I'm sacred of being attractive, when I'm fat I feel invisible, like I fade into the background Are You Afraid Of Being Thin? Here is a surprising truth about many weight-challenged individuals: They have a great fear of being thin. Yes, I know that...

Hi Guys, well I've been mooching but not posting, I had an epic binge weekend and hey I gained 5.5lb's!!! can you believe it? that's over 3 days. Oh when I gain I do it BIG TIME :( Well I've been doing some serious soul searching and I've had a weight problem my whole life, with some pretty sad...

Hi everyone! Well there have been a few dramas haven't there! Glad you're son is going to be ok Jackie, kids eh! Oh Tinytootz, hope everythings ok with your dog, was it a serious bite? Hi to Stacey and welcome ;) Welcome back to all the holidayers, nice to see you've come home with a positive...

Well done misty, you're getting there hon ;) And hi to Keira! Yes set yourself some smaller goals, one big goal is too daunting, little baby steps soon add up! Good luck and shout if you need us ;)

I used to find it extremely difficult and think 'oh sod it', now however I'm trying to 'act' like a slim person.....naturally slim people eat chocolate, cake, chips or whatever. Just not to excess, they'll have a treat but stop when full and then carry on as normal. Look at me talking as if...

Lots of people have started commenting in work over the last couple of weeks, I've lost 2 stone 2.5lb since January! I think you just seem to shrink all of a sudden ha ha keep it up and you'll soon notice a massive difference :)

Thank you you're a sweetie :) and btw I think you're a pretty positive person, you're sticking with it even though you've had lots of trouble with your meds. There's a lady at my class with the same problem, she sticks with it when only losing small amounts or gaining and those little losses...

My mum can be a 'cow' at times also, she can be guilty of only seeing the bad in people. I actually realised a long time ago she is very unhappy inside, so you're not the only one. I decided not to let it affect me anymore, she is probably the reason I was overweight as a child and teenager, but...

Is that what your mum said Emmylou? about it going back on? Well you'll have to flipping well prove her wrong ;) xx

I always have a scan bran cake on a Sunday, in preparation for Tues weigh in...if you know what I mean ;)

Emm...no, silly. Think I need to start doing a bit more myself. Nightmare with 3 kids in the house though...I'm a bit jealous ;)

Good grief!! How much sexy body magic were you doing? Ha ha! Well done you, that's brilliant, yes you'll achieve your goal and more, no sweat :D

You deserve to be treated like a princess, no matter what your weight is. Don't settle for anything less! It won't do any harm to look knockout next time you bump into these people though ;) keep at it Zoe you can and will achieve your goals ;) big hug xx

Sorry tues weighers, not tues weighted ha ha sounds very offensive. ;) xx

Hi bobs! Fingers crossed for you, anything can happen overnight, drink plenty of water before u go to bed ;) Lost 2 lb this week, so as I was hoping I'm now in the 11's!!! :D I've been wanting it so long and now I've achieved it, I feel exactly the same ;) ha ha!! Oh well we're never happy are...

Hiya!!!! Well I can now officially join you all, weigh in today I lost 2lb taking me to 11stone 12.5lbs so chuffed :D :D

Thanks for all the support guys! I lost 2lb taking me into the 11s :D Hope to see you all in the next group very soon ;)

I've lost over 4.5 stone too, it's taken me a lot longer, I've had my head in the right place since new year though and I'm absolutely determined to shed the weight forever :D I can't wait to get to target, next thing after that is to give up the dirty fags and I'll be a healthier, happier...

Bet everyone is really noticing? I had 3 people comment on my weight loss today and that's only just over 2 stone since January! Keep up the fab work :D

Sorry for all the questions! So what r u averaging a month weight loss wise? I've always thought red days give me a better loss, I mix it up with red, green as ee as I've found it difficult to maintain doing red or green afterwards, as ee is more a 'normal' way of eating. Absolutely brilliant...

Blimey tinkerbellarella! Only 3.5lb!! And slimmer of the month 5 times in a row?? Wow! You've lost twice as much as me in the same time and I thought I was doing ok? What r u doing? Which plan do u follow? And do you do a lot of excercise? Very impressed :D well done

Good luck for weigh in tinytootz, mines tomorrow as well, really praying to get in the 11 stone bracket!!! Haven't been there for a very long time ;) x

Welcome Pommette! Well done you said you'd get here and you have :D Question is, will I still be here after weigh in tomorrow morning? :Dxx

Thank you for the good luck wishes :D was just wondering if it isn't too personal?? What size clothes do you all wear at the lower end of 10stone? My clothes don't seem to be changing that much in size recently. My target is to be a comfortable size 12 and I'm 5'3"? I know everyone is different...

Just popping in to say hi! I really really hope to be joining you all tomorrow, last week I weighed 12stone and 1/2 a lb, so keep your fingers crossed I''ll be in the 11's when I get weighed in the morning?? :D

Good luck for today, can I just say you seem like such a lovely caring person and it might sound a bit cheesy but I'd rather be friends with someone who was a bit chubby and a had a big heart, than a skinny minny who had no personality ;) Beauty really does shine from within, just remember that...

Well done misty! You can do it!! X

I find myself more and more confused with sizes though... How can it be that size 16 trousers are still snug if I'm fitting into size 14 dresses? It makes no sense! The size thing is a minefield!! I've got size 14 trousers that are getting too big, but I tried a size 14 dress on in monsoon the...

Every time I have a bath I have this conversation in my head that my bath goes in in the middle, so it's wider at the ends (like a number 8) so does that count that I still have a bath dam? How thin would I need to be to not have a bath dam? I HATE having a bath dam, I want the water to flow...

Well that's a lovely thing to say Happy healthy thank you :) you've made my day! As an adult now I've decided that if I think something nice about someone I'll tell them. The world can be a very negative place, so a bit of positivity can really make someone happy, oh and sod the nasty barber!! :D :D

This one always sticks in my mind from over 20 years ago, I had lots of boy friends at school but never a boyfriend. Anyway I was at the barbers with one of my friends and the barber said clearly so I could hear "she's not you girlfriend is she mate? He said "no" and the barber said " good...

Very interesting I eat them sometimes, don't buy them as much now as I had some melon from asda and it was rank! Had a funny taste, prob preservatives

Hi Zoe! Long time no speak! Hope you're ok chick :D xx

Right off to Holland and Barratt in the morning for me, anything's worth a try...thank you :)

Hi Adipose, so sorry if any of us have seemed to be ignoring you :( I think quite a few people joined us a few weeks a ago and sometimes it's difficult to keep up, but keep posting I love to know how everyone is getting on even if I don't always comment :) Thanks JackieN, feeling a lot better, I...

Well done! I'd say you were getting there very quickly!

Thanks butterfly well done to you too :D it's coming off nicely isn't it ;) xx

Well good luck to both of us then Pomette!! This one means a lot to me, not been this light in a long time, so even though I've till got a fair way to go, I think I'll be happy to settle at the lower end of 10 stone something :)

Just noticed I'm now overweight and not obese!!!! Hooray!!! Blimey that's been a very long time coming. I was actually morbidly obese when I started which is hard to believe, but I was, my face was so bloated my eyes looked like little p holes in the snow hehe ;)

Lost 1.5lb so pretty pleased!! came on 10 mins before weigh in (weird this happens every month) JackieN have you got one of those all in one things that sucks you in? I've got one it brilliant, it just smooths out the bumps. Have a fab holiday Em :) xx

Still here!!! Lost 1.5lb this week so now weigh 12stone and 1/2 a lb, aaaahhhh!!! Will I ever get there???!!! ;)

Thanks Tinytootz think I just need to realise that it's the way my body is every month and if I keep going it will show a week or two later, which it always does if I think about it. Have you tried any new recipes lately? It's so easy to get stuck in a rut food wise and that's when it's...

:cry:Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend. Well I'm due to get weighed tomorrow morning and my star week is due tomorrow as well, so although I've had a good week-all EE days, as I've been so hungry and craving carbs, I feel very bloated, very fat and very fed up :( I really hope the...

Hurray for slimming world!!! It's ace ;)

Someone said the same to me the other day and I said oh it's probably because I've got my hair tied back!!! Next time I'll try and say just thank u he he!;)

I've got a 14 year old girl= hormones, a 10 year old lad=laziness and cheekiness and a 2 year old lad= puddles on the floor, whinging and early mornings!! Enough to make you eat anytime haha! ;) you have my sincerest understanding, I love em to bits but I could just run away to a desert island...

Just a quick question fresh pasta still has to be synned doesnt it?

Hi there, yes just take it in small sections e.g today I'm going to be 100% on plan and those days will role into weeks and the pounds will role into stones. Just shout if you need anything :) you can do it! It's not always easy but you can do it!! :)

You are within you're syn allowance, syns are there to be enjoyed, so use them without feeling guilty. Extra easy is basically anything free on a green or red day (you can have them at the same time) as long as a third of your plate is full of super free. Then choose one healthy extra A and one...

Lost a little lb this week. That's 4.5 stone total now. Hoping to get under next stone bracket next week, I'll have to be a very good girl as I need a 2.5lb loss to do that ;) I'll try my best that's all I can do :D xx

Lost a little lb this week, so still here! I'm 12.2 and hoping to be in the 11's next week, well I'm going to try my best anyway ;)

Well done Em and Shelski!! Fab losses :D :D

Do you know what Em, most weeks I have a treat after weigh in (not counted) I think it gives my body a bit of a shake up and gives me something to look forward to. I'm not saying it's right for everyone and I always get straight back on track the next morning. ;)xx

Hope you're ok butterfly? You're usually the one who cheers everyone else up ;) seems like a lot of us are a bit fed up this week ( strange how we're in sync). Carry on with the healthy eating, going off track will only make you feel worse in the long run. You're doing so well :) big hug x

Good idea about the hols, obviously you want to enjoy yourself and relax but you don't want to undo all your hard work. I think a healthy balance and a bit of body magic and allow yourself to have a small gain :) xx

Hi Tinytootz, must be something in the air at the moment my hubbie is acting like a moody *$(""* at the moment, life's not easy for us girls sometimes, we have so much to juggle physically and emotionally and on top of that we have to look slim and gorgeous too ;) I'm trying not to let things...

I was a fat kid growing up and I still carry the scars today, comments from adults, kids and strangers still haunt me now. I try not to let it bother me as I'm a lot slimmer as an adult, I still have a fear of walking past groups of teenagers and also going on fairground rides. People should...

Hi Gryffin! Can't we persuade you to join us at slimming world with all the gorgeous food we can eat and still lose weight? Yes the weight losses aren't as fast, but it really does work, I've lost nearly 4.5 stone and there are people who have lost huge amounts!! Hope you don't think I'm...

Well done Capricorn! Lovely new shoes :D, sounds like your husband is really supporting you on your journey :)

Thanks for the advice, Ive just had a virus but unfortunately I don't go off food when I'm ill, although I did lose 3.5lb last week with no excercise. Felt really shocking though, so not the best way to have a good loss ;) ps you're doing great, you could have gone for the wrong types of foods...

Wow who la hoop! You've had some amazing losses, give us some if your tips ;)

Do you ladies subscribe to the magazine? That's really useful x

Yeah, I like my chubby cheeks and dimples ;) (shame about the one's on my bum) ha ha ;)

Currently hovering around the 12.1 mark, at 5' 2" and wear a size 12 top, 14/16 bottom I'm 12.3 and still in 16's really (just started wearing a few 14's) Thought I'd be a def 14 at this weight. Just goes to show I was in denial and squeezing myself into 18's before when I was prob more like...

Don't think you can tell sometimes, bet you'll be fine. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :D xx

Oh Cathie, you've got plenty of time to pull it back if you start afresh today. Don't let a few bad days turn into weeks hon :wave_cry: you can do it :D:D:D positive vibes sent your way xx

Wow well done all 3 of you! Bet you're so chuffed!! Hopefully see u in a week or 2??? I'll be sooo happy when I do :D xx

Good luck Shivvy

Snap! :D

Well done on shedding 2lb chick! Looking foxy in your new dress ;) x

I Just stuck to the plan Em! I try and mix things up every day, not having the same Hex, I also try and snack on superfree food. I eat tons of berries, especially strawberries and raspberries. It costs a bomb, but it's worth it. I desperately want to get to target, I keep thinking of my goal...

Well done Butterfly, that's fantastic!

Thanks Sadie, let's hope so! How much do u need to lose to get into the 11s? Oh I'll be so happy when I do I can't tell you.
