It may not be sw itself. Are you eating anything while on plan that you wouldn't eat while not following sw? For example a lot of acidic fruit? I find if I eat too many oranges I will get heartburn.

As your fitness and distance improve the aches in your legs do go. Just make sure you cool down properly and stretch after a run. This will really help with muscle ache. I still find the first 5 mins of any run the toughest. I put it down to lactic acid build up. But it passes and then the run...

Hartleys sugar free jelly is 1.5 syns per sachet.

Made this last night and it was yummy!! The husband loved it and I will definitely be making it again. I used smash to thicken it up a little!

Sound lovely. Will see if I can get some of these tomorrow :)

My target was originally 10 stone 3lbs. I have been at this target for over a year now. I am not unhappy with how I look but I know that I can be better. I am 5.5 ft and I am planning to get down to 9st 6lbs. I want to do this by Christmas so I am joining all of you here into the nines :)

Sounds fab going to try it this week :)

Going to try it this week. I am searching for nice winter dinners and this one sounds yummy. Thanks for posting x

Hi Ros! Sorry to hear that you are not losing despite being 100% on plan. This used to happen to me regularly. So my next question is do you exercise? I need to combine exercise with being 100% on plan to lose and when I was trying to get to target I would lose about 2lbs a week...

I also need chocolate everyday lol. A little bit of chocolate every evening with a cuppa keeps me on track. Freddo bars 5 syns Animal bars milk chocolate 5 syns Aero biscuit bars 5 syns Time out 1 finger bars 4 syns Put them in the fridge and they last longer. Once you are with in your syns...

Good luck with your journey. I also lost weight for our marriage last year. It was great to feel slim and confident on our wedding day. It sounds like your hubby to be is 100% supportive which is great. Check out Pete's recipes in the recipes section - some tasty meals in there x

I also got tired of going to group. I have been doing it from home for over a year now and have managed to keep all the weight off plus lose a good few more lbs. I find it helps if you clear the cupboards out so that the house is junk free and don't buy any junk food when shopping. Except...

I drink 5 pints of water and about 4-5 big mugs of tea. I exercise a lot but I am still thirsty at night. Don't think it's possible to drink anymore fluids though :/

5.5ft in height. Start weight 13stone - size 14 Weight now - 10stone - size 10

Hi. I have always used the 800g loafs. As the 400g loafs taste like cardboard and don't satisfy me. Just use your 60g as a HEB and SYN the rest of the weight. Yes it's a little tweak to the plan but my consultant told me it would be no problem! I have lost 3 stone and now wear size 10 trousers...

Finally down to 10 stone :)

You are right eating junk will just make you feel worse. I always feel guilty when I go off plan. If your too poorly to cook you could have simple things like mugshots, pasta and sauce or toast and scrambled egg if you haven't used your healthy extra yet today. Hope you feel better soon x

Wow well done you look amazing! The new slim you really suits you. Well done x

If you feel the group isn't for you and you have good willpower I say do it from home. I went to group for a few months and then decided to do it at home. Group just isn't for me. I got to my target of 10 stone 3 lbs but have decided to reset it to 9 stone 10lbs. I just weigh at the gym each...

Well done that's a lb a day!! Go you :)

Up your exercise regime. I would suggest some cardio and lots of weights. I am a similar weight to yourself 10.2 and my target is 9.10. I have been losing a steady 2-3lbs a week with following sw (10 syns max a day) and 4-5 days gym with mostly weight training. Good luck with your goals :)

Hi Cassia. I joined the gym ten weeks ago and I love it. I go 4 days a week to the gym but do a 6km cycle on a 5th day in my local area. I work out for an hour at a time. 35-40 mins cardio and 20 mins weight training. At the time I joined my instructor told me to do an intense hour session as...

I usually have between 5-8 a day. When I first started sw I had all 15 daily. Now that I am 7lbs from target I have cut back :)

If you follow the plan you shouldn't have any problems. That's about 1lb a week. Totally doable :)

I agree with Safia - it is different for everyone. I lose better when I keep my syns between 5-10. You just need to find the right balance and find what amount works for you.

Wow well done! That's amazing. Fair play to you. I am just after a Freddo myself. Yummy! Hope you enjoyed yours :)

Looks good to me Caroline. What gravy was it?

I didn't use flour either. We have this at least once a week now. I don't use the pitta, but make sw chips and put the meat, tomatoes, lettuce and sauce on top of them. It is yummy. For the sauce I mix 3 tbsp of sweet chili sauce with 1 tbsp of lighter than light mayo. Would love to hear what...

Welcome Caroline! I am from Ireland as well. County Louth actually. What county are you in? I was like you - gyming it and eating healthy enough but I just couldn't shift any weight. Since I joined sw and together with the gym I am losing a steady 2-3lbs a week. I limit my syns to around 8 a...

I have between 5-10 syns a day and I could lose 2-3lbs a week. Everyone is different and some need to use their full syns to lose weight. Try and have at least 5 syns a day if you can. They are there to be used and help you to not feel deprived. I use 5 syns everyday for a freddo bar with a...

Its definitely up to each individual. Some need to go to group to stay motivated (i did at the start of my sw journey). Others can do it successfully at home. I went to group for a good while before I figured out it just wasnt for me. It lasted almost two hours and I felt I just wasn't getting...

A salad - egg, lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, pasta, ham and chicken. With a teaspoon of sweet chilli sauce as a dressing :)

Had this today for dinner. It was Amazing and just like the real thing. We had it on top of sw chips with iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. For the sauce we mixed hot sweet chilli sauce with lighter than light mayo. The husband loved it and perfect on a hangover :)

Hi Polly. Just came across this thread now. You are under enough pressure with your job, trying to fit the gym in and staying on plan without your boyfriend putting added pressure on you. It sounds like you are being constantly judged and scrutinised by him. Use this break to figure out what...

Exercise has really helped my energy levels. I used to have zero energy and couldn't be arsed doing anything. I am going to the gym 5 days a week now and I feel far more energetic and positive for it :)

I made them the weekend and they were yummy! Do you use normal sized marshmellows and what brand? I used mini marshmellows and they kind of evaporated on me! Lol. I freeze the weightwatchers jaffa cake bars when I need a treat. Great at only 4syns :)

I am restarting tomorrow on Slimming World. Going to do it at home like before. I have had a rough past two months and slimming world has gone right out the window along with my skinny jeans. 2012 was perfect. I was finally at a weight I was happy with, got married to my amazing partner of 9...

Myself and the husband don't like celery so I was just going to leave it out. Mushrooms are a great substitute. Will let you know how I get on.

Thanks Mrs Wilsoncroft. I'm going to try this tomorrow evening :)

I have no idea as havent hit target yet but I just wanted to say congratulations on reaching yours. Thats a real acheivement especially it being one week away from christmas. Well done x

Sitting in front of the fire with my husband having a cuppa! Husband finished up work early, lit fire and cleaned house. So at least I can relax for the evening.

Thats amazing! Sounds like your very determined! Well done x

Myself and the husband are both petrol heads! We both have R33 GTS Nissan Skylines. They are both white, and 2.5 turbo. They are lots of fun especially when both out together :-)

Mug shot and an orange. Wasnt really prepared today!

My problem is I cant get enough sleep! I go to bed around 11pm, fall asleep straight away and wake at 7.40am on weekdays and I would still be tired at work! On the wknds I could easily sleep for 9 - 12 hours and I would still be tired and ready for sleep at the normal bed time. Ive been to the...

To get to my target of 10 stone. 9lbs to go!

Chicken, lettuce and red onion toastie with a laughing cow light

Hi Princess Yaz. Im in the same boat. 10st 9lbs at the minute and my actual target is 10stone. Ive been messing about since getting married in september. Weights been going up and down for weeks now. Would love to reach 10stone for christmas. So thats 9lbs in total. So count me in! 4 weigh ins...

I know thats what I was thinking. You get what you pay for. Looked at some online reviews though and they all seem positive. I use Urban Decay foundation and powders so its actually just the eyeshadows I wanted to try. Will order a pallette online tonight and try it out myself. Thanks Shirleen.

Im the same, before slimming world I used to bake every weekend, be it buns or madeira cake. Now if I bake at all its cupcakes for someone else. I have done well on slimming world but I will never be able to change the way I think about junk food. I wouldnt overeat with my lunch or dinner. But...

Hi. I have been looking online at MUA make up. It seems very cheap! Too cheap! Has anyone on here used it before? If I buy before friday I get 35% off and free delivery. Very tempted, but no one I know has used it.

Ham toastie and tea! Yum on a winters day like today

Denim skinny jeans, ugg boots and a hoodie! Later - black high waisted jeans and a cream blouse ( heading out for dinner with husband).

Thanks Donna. I love it, wouldnt have any other milk now. Did do a search on the syns on the go app but nothing came up.

Hi Honeypop. I drink linwoods 1% milk. Did you find out the allowance?

I couldnt leave the house in the mornings without having breakfast(cereal or sw fry) and a cuppa! Especially my cup of tea. But everyone is different and I say just do what you feel comfortable doing :)

Honk 10.5 syns

Well done. Thats an amazing loss in just 5 weeks. Keep up the good work. You sound very motivated x

Can I join please? I have 6 weigh ins left before christmas and have 9.5 lbs to get to target. Would love to get to target at christmas.

Thanks everyone. Here is a photo of me at our wedding in September :) Looking back now it was all worth it and best thing is SW is so easy to follow and do well on x

Well done! You look amazing x

Well done! Theres no better feeling than fitting into an old pair of jeans. It really gives you a boost x

Well done Jo for re - joining. You sound like your heads in the right place. Good luck with your class and enjoy your SW journey. SW rules! :-)

Ok, so at last weeks weigh in I lost 1.5lbs, but I said I wasnt counting it as I seen it as Septembers weightloss. Last night at weigh in I have maintained (cheeky takeaway on sat night). Oh well no change for me yet :-)

I am buying my first e reader and I am waiting for the Kindle Fire to come out!! I have wanted both an e reader and a tablet for a while now. So the Kindle Fire fits the bill. I like the fact that its not just an e reader and that I can browse the internet also. Role on the 25th of October :)

I would like to join in. I weigh on a monday but im not going to count next mondays loss. Ive already set myself a goal for this week and I see next mondays weigh in as a September loss lol. So four weigh ins for me in October and I would like to lose 8lbs to bring me to target! Hopefully this...

Petes Leek and Potato Soup and 2 slices of wholemeal bread (heB). Yum!

I love love love Christmas! I had Christmas day and boxing day (st.stephens day with us in Ireland) off plan last year. Now I didnt go completely mad either. Had my traditional roast dinner. Probably helps that I dont like gravy or cranberry/mint sauces. Had a few after eights for dessert...

There you go - only four and a half lbs. You will have that off in two weeks! Was thinking it wouldnt be as much as you thought. Well done for facing weigh in and getting back on plan! That takes courage ;)

Hi Stivesliz. You may not have gained as much as you think. Ive had a four week break from SW. Between getting married and being on honeymoon I have been completely off plan. Fry ups and 3 course meals to beat the band on honeymoon and chocolate. I was convinced I had put on around a stone...

Just made your Healthy Winter Soup Pete. Amazing! Hubby loved it and has requested it for his lunch. Thanks for sharing :-)

Florentine Lamb and Vegetable Stew with SW roast potatoes

Hi M Stew. I write down everything I eat. Find it much easier to stay on plan when I scribble hea, heb and syns down. Its definitely a great way of keeping track of fluids. I also find it useful to make sure im eating enough fruit/veg. I find its harder to cheat when you have to write it down :-)

Hi Paul. I can definitely see the difference. Sometimes it takes our heads a little while to catch up with our slimmer bodies! Ive lost 2 stone 4lbs with sw and it took me ages to see the difference even though it was noticable to everyone else. One day it just clicked. It will for you too. Four...

Thanks everyone! The big day is in 6 and a half weeks. So when I get back from my honeymoon I will post a picture of me in my dress! :)

Honk for yesterday - 13syns

Wow well done! Dont you look amazing! Enjoy every minute of it. You deserve it after all your hard work x

I always coat my salmon in a grated ginger/honey/soy sauce and then pop them under the grill for ten mins. Lovely! Hope you's have a great day : )

An Apple followed by Noodles with half a tsp of sweet chilli sauce.

Hi Charlotte. If you have joined a group you should have access to Slimming World online. They have an online syns calculator which I found very useful. Your consultant will give you a pin number which you use to log on.

Agree with all here - Tefal are the way to go! I have a large one I use for all my stir frys and omelettes etc. Did you know Tefal does a tiny pan called One Egg Wonder. I have two! They are great for doing fried eggs. The eggs are perfect! I use mine everyday and they dont burn or blacken :)

Honk! 15syns

My other half is doing slimming world with me. So thankfully we eat most of the same things. I make our packed lunches and dinners and he does the housework in turn!! Except for when I run on tuesdays and thursday nights, he cooks (I just have to leave him instructions lol). We both have a...

I also crave chocolate on my star week. Big Time! Thank god I don't gain or sts, just lose weight normally. However I have severe headaches for the first few days :(

Think I will be joining you's. I am also going on Holidays (not until august though) and getting married in September. With 7lbs to go to my target and a wedding dress fitting at the start of June every week here on in counts. So count me in :)

Hi Mandy. Please don't beat yourself up about this. You have been through a very difficult and stressful time. I do hope you are on your way to recovery though xx As for being off plan you need to forget about the last 3 or so weeks - draw a line under it and start next week from fresh. If you...

Honk for yesterday 1syn

Thanks everyone. Thanks to all the support on MiniMins I turned it around. Feeling very positive now that I have the end in sight :)

Ok so after last weeks meltdown I got back on plan big time! 10syns a day, lots of fruit and lots of water. Weighed myself yesterday in boots and I have lost 5lbs in ten days. Delighted. 7lbs to target now :-)

7lbs to my Target now :-)

I guess everyone loses differently then. I have grapes, a plum, 2 small oranges, an apple everyday (and sometimes a banana) and I find I have good losses. These are eaten inbetween meals though.

Awh poor you. Keep the chin up and keep going I say. I had a big gain two weeks ago (although I deserved it because I ate lots of junk)! You havent deserved it at all with only 120 syns. But I know how horrible it feels. I agree with everyone else, it has to be water retention. Drink lots of...

Tried this curry this evening and it was lovely!! Yummy. We made loads of extra sauce so we can have a curry chip tomorrow evening for tea :)

I like the sound of these! The closer I get to target the more I worry about my portion size (dinner really). Where online can you get them?

This has happened to me numerous times! I know how you feel. Dont think you've done your weight loss any real harm. Every so often I wake up one morning and straight away I know that I feel like having chocolate. I used to ignore it and by the time evening had come I would have ate rings around...

Im honking in advance for today at 15syns. Having a chocolate craving kinda day and I need to honk in advance to stay on track :-)

Meatballs and veg in bolognese sauce with pasta.

Thats brilliant. Well done Pickles! A great loss always spurs me on to have a 100% week the next. Good luck with your sw journey x

Hi. I got the receipe from an extra easy cookbook. I just mix piri piri seasoning with 2tbsp of soy sauce (it says to use lime juice but I dont). Just cut chicken, peppers and onion into chunks. Marinade the chicken in the piri piri and then place chicken and veg on skewers and they take ten...

Thats a great loss in 3 weeks. You must be very motivated. Well done and keep up the good work :)

Totally agree with the shopping online. Its so handy to pick out just what you need and I just avoid the junk food section completely. I find this helps me to stay on plan.

Just updating the list, as we posted just a few minutes apart :) All_About_The_Climb 6lbs (loss so far 0lb -loss to go 6lb) Arctic-BNG (loss so far 0lbs - loss to go 8lbs) Bhooms: Target ?lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go ?lb) Charlotteg1988:Target 8lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go 8lb)...

I agree with all the other posters - they must be jealous! At the end of the day they are not you and dont know how you feel about your body! If you want to lose a few lbs to feel more comfortable then do it, once its safe to do so. Just go to class and ignore them. Cant believe they said it so...

Good riddance to her!! Who would want to read that dragons food diary anyway? lol Theres always one!!

Yup, count me in! This is my first week back on track 100% in a few weeks. 12lbs to target and im determined to make the month of May count! :)

I had one week where I sts and then for two weeks lost 0.5lbs on each week, despite being 100% on plan. I was getting really disheartened and then the following week I lost 4lbs! And continued with good losses after that. The way I seen it was that maybe my body was taking a wee rest and I had a...

Hi Elle, good luck with your new puppy in June. It is so exciting getting a new pup lol. Springers are hard work, I have two and my father in law has two also. If they are not used as working dogs (mine are just pets) they require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. So its lucky I live...

Honk for today (11syns).

Congrats on getting most of it off again the next week. Im hoping for something similar next week. And praying your right about the water retention lol. Thanks everyone, second day back on track and feeling less bloated :)

Well done thats great :) I have over indulged over easter and put on 6lbs eek! I would be happy with a loss like yours next week x

If only I had to have motivation like yours two weeks ago lol. Well done though, its a great feeling to know your in control x

6lbs gained :( Oh well 12lbs to target now!

Thank you everyone. I started having the odd sneaky bar of chocolate and becoz I was close to target it didnt damage my weight loss so I thought I could get away with it and it became more frequent. Thats when the trouble started. I am still so mad with myself, but from reading everyones post...

Ok, so far I have lost 2stone and 4lbs with slimming world. I love the plan and I was doing so well on it! Just before easter I was only 6lbs away from my target. Basically for the last two weeks I completely fell off the plan and ate what I wanted. I stuffed my face and I can tell that ive put...

Dont cut them out! Especially if they help you to stay on plan! I have 6 packets of Velvet crunch every week (one each day with my lunch at work). They havent hindered my weight loss at all. I still cant believe they are only 4syns. They are yummy : )

Thats amazing! And all in 14 months. I bet you feel AMAZING! And so you should. Well done :) Your proof that sticking with the plan works!

Thank you everyone. Im getting married in September and I am so excited about getting my dress! :) Losing weight hasnt just changed my body its changed my personality as well. Im happy being me, more confident and outgoing x

Oh I know all about having no rhythm (two left feet here)! Well done on switching to Ea Active, I probably would have thrown in the towel altogether lol. I have it as well and do it along with 10 minutes abs and a 10 minute weights dvd.

Think i'll join in here if thats ok. Ive made the decision to stop going to group to get weighed. Never stayed to group as its not for me, so basically paying 4.95 to get weighed each week. So I will be weighing myself in boots each week and post my results here :) This week I have lost 1lb.

Good luck with Slimming World Sushidoll. If you follow the plan, you should do great. I noticed from your stats that we are around the same weight. I like to exercise also and its working for me - losing 1-2lbs a week (now that im back on track lol).

How did you get on? Was it any good? I think all the instructors on exercise dvds are cringeworthy lol

We had ginger and honey salmon on a bed of vegetable noodles. It was yummy and only 1/2 syn per serving :)

Me and my partner go each week. It costs us £16 a week(our fee along with 3packs of hi fi bars). We dont stay to group, as neither of us find it helpful. We are doing really well on the plan though. So we are really only going to get weighed. Which ive realised is a complete waste of money! So...

Ok I need to catch a grip!! Im only 6lbs from target and ive been losing and gaining the same 1-2lbs everyweek!! Ive started thinking that just because im close to target that I can get away with eating naughty stuff without syning it. So this week im going back to basics with my slimming world...

Hiya. I drink way more tea than that! At least 6 cups a day. I couldnt be without my tea and ive always still lost everyweek steadily - 2-3lbs a week and im only 6lbs away from target. I do realise everyone is different but it hasnt affected me at all :)

Hi Paul. Dont worry about that snickers. Once you stay within your syns you are fine! And you have.

This time last year I was 19lbs heavier and feeling really uncomfortable in my size 14-16 clothes. I did enjoy christmas as I have a wonderful family and it was great fun but my weight was niggling away in my mind all the time. Today I went out and bought all my Christmas outfits. I bought 3...

Very inspirational post. Well done on getting to your target and maintaining. Im about 10lbs away from my target. It is hard to keep going at times and this was good to read. It is definitely worth the perseverance in the long run. Today my mum took a huge bag of clothes down from the attic...

Great post and has made me think about what id like to achieve next year. Im getting married in September so my new years resolution are: 1: Get to my target weight around feb/march. 2: When target weight is reached - im going to join gym to tone up. 3. Be as supportive as I can to my partner...

Im going to say it to the consultant next week and see if she can explain it to me. I really don't get it. Now I have two different weights recorded in my book - my actual weight and then my total loss in lbs so far(which when you add up and take away from my starting weight is not the same as...

Hi Lucy. I don't think it was because I jumped off to quickly. I like to get my weight in KG as well as LBS so im usually on the scales for longer. Well done Sophie on losing 11lbs in a week. Thats FAB!! I totally get that it has to round up or down. But now im wondering why the scales and...

Yes im going to ask her about it at group on Monday. In the meantime I kinda feel cheated in my weight loss this week, especially because I was on plan 100% last week.

So did I. The scales showed that I was 10stone 11lbs, but she said it showed a 1/2lb loss on her computer. Really confused over it. I don't want to blame the lady because it may not be her fault. But at the same time Im wondering could there be a logical explaination for it?

As the heading says - im confused :lost: Ive been going to group since the start of October and have had good losses each week since then. Now that im closer to my target my weight loss has slowed down a lot, but ive excepted that and I know I will get there. Last week at weigh in I weighed...

Alpen lights are 3 syns each. I love them - especially the Double Chocolate ones just out of the fridge. Thats all you will find in my cupboards these days - no sweets, chocolate, biscuits or crisps. I just don't buy them. Suppose its easier for me as my partner is doing sw with me so we are in...

I really admire all you ladies who attend class on your own. My partner has went with me from the first night we joined. Its a great comfort to have him there and we can celebrate our weight losses together :) We both just got to a point in our lives were we realised that if we kept eating...

I also needed to read this, so thank you Ian. Also, congratulations on your weight loss. You are an inspiration. I was so angry after weigh in last night - I lost 0.5lbs. I wanted to be at my target (14lbs to go) by christmas but I can accept after reading your post that this won't happen and...

I feel your pain Shirleen. Literally! I woke up last Tuesday morning with two coldsores. By Tuesday night I had 6!! I get them when im run down, but never this many at once. Finding that germolene is the only thing that helps with dryness and pain. I also haven't left the house since - sending...

Dont Par Boil mine either - chop them into similar sizes and pop them in oven for 30 mins at 180 degrees. Perfect!

Thats amazing! And since Feb? You should be sooo proud, thats amazing. Definitely look to the future - think where you will be by next Feb. Well done x

Im 11st 6lbs and my height is 5ft 6inchs. At the minute im in size 12-14 bottoms!

Low syn sausages and egg on toast yum!

Hi Sweet Tooth! Ive done calorie counting along with 5days at gym and it wasnt working for me either. So I started slimming world and I find its great. Losing on average 2lbs a week. I would defintely recommend you give it a go. You can still have your sugar fix once you stay within your 15syns...

Honk - day 9

25 mins EA Active this morning. As of yet still haven't been able to get out on my bike!! September has been the worst month weather wise. @ Redmel, Ive had a look at the EA this morning and I cant change it from four days to less. Unless you just do your 2-3days and ignore the days you have...

Honk - day 8

Well done on the 3lb loss Redmel :) Exercise does slow you down to start off with but in the long run its extremely benificial for your health. No exercise for me yesterday and 20mins on EA this morning.

Honk day 7

Honk for yesterday day 6

It was yummy! Will add less jelly next time though. Trial and error :)

Sunday roast-sw friendly :) Followed by a slice of Jaffa Cake Cake at 4.5 syns. Yummy.

Its great to have a goal like that to work towards! Go you! :) Leisurely walk with dogs today - 30mins.

Making this today!! For dessert after Sunday roast. Looks yummy in the pics, hope mine turns out looking like that!

Wow look at you!! That is amazing for 14weeks. Keep up the good work :) x

Honk - day 5

Honk - day 4

30 mins on EA Active. It is getting tougher and longer workout time. Enjoying it :) Awh poor you, hope your feeling better soon x its good to give the body a rest anyway :)

Minstrels, maltesers, fizzy chewy sweets in large amounts. One was never enough! Chili doritos. Dry cereal late at night. Strange I know - eaten out of a cup! White bread. The list goes on lol.

I live in Co. Louth Ireland. And it has been raining all day so far :(

25 mins EA Active. Hoping to get out on my bike tomor if the weather stays nice :)

Honk day 3

2 Alpen Lights yum

Honk - day 2 :)

Good job on the running! :-) I didnt do any exercise today. Overdid it with the ea active yesterday and very stiff lol!

Honk day one - back on plan :)

30mins on EA Active :-)

Love it! Did 25mins on EA Active this afternoon and really enjoyed it. Money well spent-wind roaring outside and still got my exercise in :)

Such a horrible day! Got the EA Active game this morning in town! Getting it set up now, cant wait to try it! :)

Oh well done on the jog! Thats good going :) Yesterday I did a 30min cycle in between showers lol. Think I may just take the dogs for a walk today, id prob get blown of my bike that day!

Thats amazing :) Well done you! You should be so proud of your acheivements x

Homemade Pork chow mein with fried rice. It was yummy and syn free :)

God job on all your work at the gym, you got plenty in today :) I got in a 30min walk with the dogs this evening :)

Thanks for that Redmel. My minds made up now, defintely getting it. The wind this morning did provide some extra resistance lol! Glad I went this morning because its raining now. Greedyguts you could get an exercise dvd that you could work on until after xmas? Then get your kinect :)

Thanks, you always feel great after the exercise though! Oh it sounds good! I was looking for a mix of cardio and toning exercises :) Is there anything on it where you can use weights as well? I'll be getting it for the playstation, so have to buy the ps3 move package as well. Thanks.

30min cycle this morning and my face was like a beetroot after it lol. Is that ea game any good redmel? Considering getting it for the rainy days :)

Lol, Naughty ;) Well the weather was rotten here today. Gale force winds and lashing. So had to ditch my bike and head to gym. 50mins done in gym and about two hours housecleaning(after the mess builders left)! :)

I havent done any exercise all wknd. Failing at this challenge so far. Back to the exercise tomor though! You's are doing great and your posts are inspiring me to get off my butt!

Will know about interview in two weeks. Sad times, but it was kindest to pts. Thanks for the tips, they sound great. Will def try that app. Would love to build up my jogging like that :-)

Great thread! Always good to see what everyone else is eating :) Mine would have to be lots of chicken, pork, veg, fruit, mullerlights, alpen lights, noodles, rice, shredded wheat, slim milk, spaghetti hoops, hartleys sugar free jelly and beans!

Orange flavoured sugar free Hartley Jelly and an Orange :)

Oh would love to be able to jog! Its so hard though and I always give up at around ten mins! Any tips greedyguts? Yeah just got my bike two wks ago and I love it. It takes twice the effort to get around on a MB than a normal bike so its all good! Today I didnt get any exercise in! Had a job...

Honk - day 5 :)

Honk (Day 4)

Have heard about that 30 day shred from some friends. Supposed to be very hard! My exercise today - 40minutes on mountain bike (up some steep hills as well)!

Have also had a similar experience giraffegirl. The bottom line is some people can NEVER be happy for you or your acheivements. You have lost four stone and she hasn't. The only way she can make herself feel better is to say something nasty. Just ignore her, she is just jealous. And...

Honk honk! (day 3)

Greedyguts1980 Redmel Siobhmrk4 Count me in please! :) Great idea Greedyguts, this will give me the motivation to get off my butt lol. I have just bought a mountain bike so thats what I plan to do most days. However on days of rain I will be heading to the gym. Lets see how it goes :)

A take away last night. All my syns were used up when the OH suggested getting a takeaway! I sent him away for his and made myself pork chow mein. Was v.hard, but feel better for it today :)

Honk honk! 14 syns used. Not bad considering that includes a trip to the coffee shop :)

One shredded wheat, a plum and a cup of tea :)

Hi. Im from Dundalk. Been doing sw for 3months now, but have just discovered this site. Anyone from up this end of Ireland doing SW? :)

It was yummy!! Have made it 3 times since and have a little tub of it after my dinner. Also have my mum and brother hooked on it and their not even on slimming world lol :)

Hi. Does anyone know the Syn Value for Denny Gold Medal Skinless Sausages? Thanks :)

Well done everyone. Some great losses today :) Just back from my weigh in an I've lost 2.4lbs this week. So very chuffed with myself :)

Thanks MizKirsty. Trying your receipe atm. Will let you know how I get on :)

Thanks Bosco and Desperate2Bslim. I enjoy the food on Slimming World, so hopefully in a few days and i'll be back on the wagon lol. I think the weekly weigh in is a great idea. Puts the pressure on a bit doesn't it? Also think my family are sick of listening to me about weight loss. So it...

Hi Everyone. Congrats on the weight loss results. Was wondering could I join in on this thread as I weigh in on a Saturday. My weigh in yesterday was 156lbs. So 18lbs to go until I reach my target. I am doing slimming world but have not been following it to plan for the past month. So this week...

Hi all. Joined back in April. But only getting a chance to look around the site now. So thought I would introduce myself. I started exercising and tried to eat healthy in Aug 2010. My start weight was 176lbs. It was slow coming off and so then I decided to try slimming world in April 2011...
