Hello! It's been a long time since I posted, but back on SW and a 10>9 gal! Just checking in!

Katywoo87 let me know how you got on with Clean & Lean. I've been doing the 14 day kickstart since Monday and I've already lost 5lbs of the 11lbs I want to lose! I'm struggling a bit with the lack of sugar but it's getting easier. The principles are great and I love the food you get to eat...

Here's my before and after. The lighting isn't great on either but I've added the before and after measurements below! Bust: 33in > 32in (-1) Waist: 28in > 26in (-2) Lower waist: 32in > 30in (-2) Arms: 11in > 10.5in (-0.5) Hips: 38in > 36.5in (-1.5) Thighs: 23in > 22in (-1) Calves: 16in >...

I finished this yesterday and my word it works! I'm going to post some before and after pics later. Don't be disheartened if you don't lose weight. This is really about something more important than numbers on a scale - inches, tone and strength. Your clothes will be looser, you won't wobble...

Hi TT! Congrats on the wedding! I bet you had an amazing day! I'm still around but not on here much anymore. I'm not doing SW properly anymore just watching the calories! Really close to my final goal now but I've also been doing the 30 Day Shred and I can't get over how it actually works...

I've just started the 30DS after getting really close to reaching my goal weight with SW. I want to tighten everything a bit now! I've seen some crazy results already and I'm only on Level 1 Day 3! I've lost 1" from my waist, 1" from my hips and 1" from each of my thighs! I'm loving it! I...

5lbs off for me this week! I've not seen this number on the scales for about 4 years lol Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I don't really know to be honest. I've never lost so much when it's not 1st WI! I have done a lot of gym time (4 times a week) and tried mixing up my lunches a bit more this week. I suspect I've also been having too much HEXA so I've watched that bit more this week! Sent from my iPhone using...

Well done charl. I know the feeling. I've been STS for 2 weeks and weighed in with a 5lb loss today! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oh gosh. I really need a loss this week. My first target was 7lbs by end of June and I've been at 6lbs now for 2 weeks! I have had a wee slip up after WI this morning in the form of chocolate (after having given up eating it for 6 weeks). But from tomorrow I'm 100% in it for a 2lb loss this...

Yep. I know I have lost weight thanks to looser jeans! I just like seeing the digits move! I've looked back at the print out from the boots machine and it looks like I've actually lost over 200g but not enough to push me to 10.05lbs! At least I know something came off! Sent from my iPhone...

Me too! I was expecting a loss of at least 2lbs and I STS even though I feel slimmer. I need to stay motivated now! :-S Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

No probs! I was wondering if I was infact GF until I had bisto and forgot it contains gluten. I wondered why I had tummy pains in the night. Then it dawned on me! The most annoying thing is the lack of fibre and choice for my B options (bread/cereals). I can luckily eat ryvita and oats. So...

I've been finding it much more easy to stay within syns food wise since I stopped eating wheat and chocolate. There's not much apart from fats (eg condiments, spread) that I have to syn. Now when it comes to alcohol I have issues! Weekends are usually 20-30 syns a day! Sent from my iPhone...

I think I've rejoined SW twice with my last group, once after reaching target and there is really no judgement at all. Everyone is just there to support you. At the end of the day, you are doing this for yourself and everyone should admire you for coming back! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi all. So I recently had to cut out wheat from my diet (inc bread, cereals, pasta, cakes, biscuits...) as I'd been getting terrible stomach pains when I ate these some of these things. So I am doing SW without wheat. I was wondering if anyone else is WF or GF and how you get on with the...

Weighed in today and lost 1 lb which I am thrilled with because not only is it that time of the month but I had most of the jubilee off plan (mainly due to excessive wine consumption) and didn't exercise Friday- Tuesday! I have managed to go to an exercise class everyday since Wednesday though...

Thanks for directing me here Clairex! So I'm weighing in for the first time today on the fancy Boots scales. Annoyingly I want my weigh in day to be Friday so I'm having an early first WI at the end of the week. I'm really scared about not going to class. Will I lose my motivation without...

Ok so I am back on SW from Sunday. I've had yet another break following a bout of illness that knocked me off my feet a bit but now my clothes are starting to get a bit tighter I know it is time to get back into it properly! The difference this time is that I am not joining a class. I feel...

Didn't weigh in last week as I was in a show and poorly so I'm weighing in for 2 weeks tonight! I think I have at least STS which is ok as I've not been 100%. Thankfully I've been running a lot due to sports relief on Sunday so I've been burning lots of calories. My thighs are killing me today...

1lbs off which is great because I've been off plan most of the week due to bday celebrations! I also had a couple of gains over the last few weeks so I needed to get that off (finally not lying in my stats !) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well after 2 weeks of 0.5 gains I lost 1lb this week and couldn't be more thrilled as I was off plan for two days and ate out 5 times :-S. I had just written last night off as a gain. Back to level ground again to kick those lbs over the next few weeks! It can be pulled back! Don't worry! X...

Two large glasses of wine and 5 minstrels instead of dinner last night. I'm sure SW doesn't advocate this?! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done Honda. How did you get on TT? I gained 1/2 this week but expected it. I hardly ate the week before last cos of my illness so it's levelling out! The wine, cocktails and pancake didn't help either! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oh and as for the pork, my BF and I never buy supermarket pork at all. His family have a farm in Wales and they keep a s number of black pigs. The meat is amazing and so flavoursome. Also the way they treat and slaughter pigs in Denmark is so cruel. They don't get to move at all. Horrible. I'd...

Put on 1lb on Thursday so I'm now 6.5 to go for my 9s! But 5lbs to my 1.5 stone award so I'm aiming for that first :-) Superspeed souping this week to try and counteract the bank holiday trip to brum later today! :-S Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Letting the side down with a 1lb gain. But 5lbs off last week was rather greedy of me! Superspeed soup and step aerobics time! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done Honda and TT for great losses! I put 1lb on. TOTM, a night off-plan, missing 2 of 4 gym classes and a big loss last week... it was going to be a gain! Aiming for 2lbs next week... superspeed soup time! EDIT - was hoping it wouldn't be more than a 1lb gain because I can keep my...

1lb on for me... I know why and it's all good. Superspeed soup this week! Aaliyah27 35lbs (6.5lbs lost 28.5lbs to go) Alilou21- 30lbs (3lbs lost 27 lbs to go) anna_vixen 42lbs (6lbs lost - 36lbs to go) Beki 20lb (3.5lb lost - 16.5lb to go) Belfastbabybear 14lbs (5.5lbs lost 9.5lbs to go)...

Seem to have my appetite back! Just got back from work and have eaten the leftover savoury rice from tea last night with cottage cheese and a bit of turkey. Oh and a yoghurt! Doh!!! Having a roast in a bit too! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Almost a whole punnet of strawberries. As a tip, M&S have some on offer at £1.99 a pack and they are the nicest sweetest and biggest ones I have ever eaten! Stock up! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I seem to have morphed from log shaped to pear shaped since joining SW. Why on earth is it fair that all my weight comes off my boobs and back and refuses to shift on my bum?! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I generally use 10 a day. I've done the low syn thing and it didn't make any difference. If anything, it slowed my losses. I yo yo so I don't have an average. 5lb off one week. 0.5 on another week etc...! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Looks like you're doing well! As a tip- Im guessing you're on extra easy so I would say to check your HEXB. Nimble x2 is 1 HEXB and your cereal in the morning would be 1 also. So you're actually having 6 syns for the extra HEXB. Also, you can't split your HEXB between different food items (eg...

Sorry to hear you're poorly Honda... it's an excuse to eat some mini twisters (2.5 syns each!) and enjoy a good book :-D Hi Roziee! So it's been a weird few days. My appetite has really dipped and all I've wanted is to pick at sweet things... I've somehow come home and gone straight out to...

Ok so tonight is my flexi syns night out. Have said 50 syns!! Buffet saw me have 2 small tuna sandwiches on brown bread (HEXB), lots of carrot and celery sticks. A few chicken kebab thingies and 2 pieces of scampi. Think I did quite well! I'm all about the Bacardi and diet coke now! Sent from...

I think I'm changing my target weight. I feel great the way I am now but would still like to lose another few lbs to get into the 9s! Thinking of going to 9.10 or 12 rather than 9.8. I don't want to start looking bony lol Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I do pilates weekly and it's great for toning your belly. It's higher impact than you expect and, whilst you won't be sweating like you might in Zumba, you'll come out of it feeling like you've had a proper work out! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks Gemini. I'm following EE. I think what I have found is I lose well when I don't snack a lot and this week I've had some new recipes. Variety really is the spice of life lol

Hallo. So surprised. Almost can't get my head around it as I've never lost more than 3 lbs outside of my first WI! My diary is here http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-food-diaries/205332-eanceoils-salad-diary-2.html I have experimented a bit more with recipes so I've been more varied...

5lbs off for me. So chuffed :-) That's my 1 stone award and Club 10 in one WI! :-D

Holy fudge! I lost 5lbs this week ladies! Those scales were closer than I thought! No idea how though. Maybe all my exercise is finally kicking in?! 1 Stone award and Club 10 in one WI! :-D

Yea... used to eat it regularly and get stomach aches. It's only since I cut it out for lent and didn't have pains that I realised it was the bread that was making me ill. I LOVE BREAD! :-(

That sounds lovely TT! I'm starving but have WI later so who knows what I'll end up eating! On my way home now from a meeting thinking about bread ( had a pitta last night but instantly regretted it! I get terrible stomach aches when I eat it) not stopping me craving it tho! Sent from my...

Maybe you need to vary your meals a bit? Notice you have the same breakfast etc... Sometimes your metabolism responds well to small changes in diet. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Had to grab something at break neck speed so had an M&S Bento box. No idea how many syns but their sushi is normally low. Also had 2 Percy pigs. 4 syns! Nooooo! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

It works. Had a blow out last Sunday and superspeed souped for the 4 lunches after that. Lost 2.5lbs! One of my bigger losses after a STS and a gain the weeks before!

So this is another adapted recipe of mine and it's REALLY nice. It's a good alternative to spag bol or chilli. I was fed up of repeating the same mince recipes and this was the result! Serves 4 - approx 1 syn per portion Ingredients: 4 medium sweet potatoes 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp salt...

Hiya Exactly the same time weigh in and it is a traditional set (with a moving hand... what are they called?!) of scales. I really doubt they are accurate but can scales really weigh you so much under? I've never had a weekly loss bigger than 3lbs outside of first weigh in. So who knows...

My gym scales weighed me in at 65kg (around 10st 3lbs). This is a whopping 7lbs lighter than Thursday. What are the chances of this being accurate?! I'm not holding out much hope as they are scales I've not weighed on before. I weigh in at class on Thursdays. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Sorry for the triple post... But... I jut weighed myself on a set of scales at the gym (different ones to usual) and they weighed me 8lbs lighter!! I know I haven't lost 8lbs but what do you think the chances are that they are to some degree not broken? Lol Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Spaghetti bolognese EE style! :-) Also going to attempt making myself a low syn pina colada with coconut water fresh pineapple and rum! Eurovision isn't the same without a retro cocktail!

Half a packet of batchelors chicken rice with steamed vegetables (cauliflour, carrot and pea).

I might have to invest! Have an extra large pineapple in the fruit bowl that I've been putting off cutting up! ___ Was thinking earlier about foods that I miss being on SW. I know you can have what you like but somethings just aren't worth the syns. Mine is coconut (fresh, creamed, milk etc)...

Hope you like! Adapted from a BBC food recipe. I didn't marinade and it was lovely. But i bet it would be gorg if allowed to marinade. I used rum but you can leave this out for a perfect syn free dinner! Serves 2 Sauce 1 red onion roughly chopped A 3cm piece of fresh root Ginger roughly colours...

I think the 10s are only hard because for a lot of people the 10s are at the end of their weight loss and it always slows as you near it. The two times I did SW before I would get to about 10.2 and plateau. It took a few weeks of hardcore cardio to shift the last 7lbs!! Sent from my iPhone...

Not heard great reviews about any of the Zumba games or DVDs. The best part of it I think is the party atmosphere. Can't get that in your living room! :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hey Annie, you're not far off your Club10 now are you according to your stats! Good job! :-) _ Argh I had to update my tickers because although I have lost 2.5 I forgot to add my gain of 0.5 last week on! So it's only 12lb total lol

2.5 off for me! Had a blow-out night drinks wise on Sunday but pulled it back by having super low syn days and superspeed soup this week!

2.5lbs off for me! Pheeeew. I was beginning to worry! I'd better get on the superspeed soup again next week to get my stone award! :-)

I've come across the same scenarios on here and it might explain it. Extra exercise causes your body to retain extra water because your body isn't expecting it. Give it a week or so of regular exercise and it should level out. Hopefully it'll help get you some more great losses! Sent from my...
