I am joining in too if that's ok? I got the DVD in the summer but got halfway through, went camping for a week and have only done it occasionally since oops! I am doing the London Moonwalk in May so need to get my general fitness up, along with my training walks (13.5 miles yesterday - ouch!)...

I never realised quite how big I was after having 2 children until I came across this old photo from Christmas 09. Since that was taken I have had another baby (April 2011) and was bigger than this (and much better at avoiding photos!) I was 14st 6.5lb when I started Slimming World in May...

Forgot about this oops... Food diary for today: Breakfast: only an apple so far, not feeling great. Lunch: bacon, tomatoes, scrambled eggs and HexB roll, followed by an apple and some Onken FF yogurt. Dinner: Smash pizza (2x HexA), broccoli. A bit of real homemade pizza crust that DD left...

-6lb for me tonight! I'm so chuffed! Walked away with my 1.5st award, Club 10 and Miss Slinky!

Yesterday I had a call saying I am one of the finalists for our group's Miss Slinky :) and then today I went to try on the size 16 jeans I've been trying once a week for the past few weeks - always said I'd buy them when they fit me. Today is the day!! I was so chuffed, when I first tried them...

Chicken Katsu curry from Slimming Eats blog mmmmm..,

I had a tomato mugshot as wasn't feeling very hungry, starving now though so going to have an apple and a muller light to keep me going til dinner.

Last night I fell asleep on the sofa before I had done any planning ooops. Will be doing that now then! Breakfast: 2x Apple FF Onken Vanilla yogurt. 2x BGTY sausages 1 syn Bacon Egg 1 medium slice Hovis Best of Both 4.5 syns, WM bread was mouldy and I fancied some toast :( Lunch...

I've been plodding along since I joined SW in May. I haven't been 100% at all (except for one week, after I went on holiday, I lost 6lb!) I've currently lost 1st 2.5lb, but that was 1st 4.5lb until my 2lb gain this evening! I'm not too worried about tonight's gain as it's 'that time of the...

Wow well done! You must feel so different!

Creamed beetroot and carrot soup from the new SW soup book, it's yummy. Had root canal done this morning (fell asleep during!) so figured soup would be my best bet.

SS for me today, but very happy with that as had a not-so-lovely surprise this morning of my first 'time of the month' in 2yrs! Gutted as I'm still breastfeeding DS2 and hoped I'd skip them til he stopped. 7 WI til Christmas and 9.5lb to go to get my Christmas wish, fingers crossed!

I decided to join after I saw this picture of myself (pleas excuse the stupid face!!) it was taken in Dec 09 but I only saw it just before I had my 3rd baby this April. I started looking back at other pics of me and was completely gutted. Before I had my first baby in Dec 05 I was 10st and a...

My two best friends are getting married next year, one in april and one in may. Both have asked me to be chief bridesmaid and at both weddings the other bridesmaids are a lot slimmer than me (they have no children, I have 3 and it shows!) I dont want to look back at the photos and feel that I'm...

1lb off for me, very pleased with that as I've been ill all week and although I've been eating the right things I haven't been eating much. 100% week for me as only 4.5lb to go to my Club 10 and want to get there asap! Well done everyone :) xx

I have been doing SW for 22 weeks, since my baby was 5 weeks old. The first couple of weeks I lost 4lb ish altogether, then I STS most weeks until I started weaning a few weeks ago. It has taken me 22 weeks to lose a stone but I could have quite easily put more than that on in the same amount of...

I feel like an ice cube after picking my daughter up from preschool!

Well done!! It is so exciting :) xx

1.5lb off for me, 14.5lb total, got my 1 stone award :D so so happy! Now aiming for another stone by Christmas...

Yep we are having one on Thursday night. I'm making falafels from a recipe I found on here, with a minty yogurt dip.

Well done!! :D I have been doing it a lot recently, on Sunday we were in Brighton and hubby and the kids wanted a treat so went to burger king. I practically floated all the way to M&S when I decided I'd rather have a salad and some fruit from there! I had a gorgeous salmon & prawn salad with...

I am a breastfeeding mum too, and find it really hard to eat all of my hexs. Since making more of an effort to eat them I have been losing weight consistently, in my book the weeks I hadnt been eating them all were obvious - half a lb loss or staying the same! Since making the effort I've been...

SW recipe falafels for me, with a big salad and minty yogurt dip.

Toffee magic porridge with sliced banana on top.

Jacket potato with fat free cottage cheese and a huge salad.

I've never found it to be watery so far! I usually have some in the freezer diced quite small to roast either to put in risotto or in a salad, and also some bigger chunks for making soup.

I always freeze it peeled, chopped and raw - I'm still alive! No idea what you are meant to do though!

5ft 6in 13st 7.5lb Size 18 trousers are falling down but size 16 are a bit tight. I have been trying a size 16 jeans on once a week for 3 weeks now - first time I couldn't get the button anywhere near the buttonhole, second time I could do them up but was so tight I felt sick, this week they...

I have a pair of black linen trousers that I couldn't do up a couple of months ago. With this hot weather I decided to try them on again to see how close I was to fitting in them. Put them on this morning and I was so shocked to find they actually did up and were baggy around the bum! Was even...

1lb to get my 1 stone award 7lbs to get my Club 10. Then another 1lb to get into the 12s!!

-2lb for me!! Will have to wait til next week for my 1 stone award!

Very nervous as I desperately want to lose 3lb to get my 1 stone award!

Congratulations! Makes perfect sense to me! I put on 4.5st unnecessarily with my first pregnancy, with my other 2 I ate far more but definitely minimised the damage by making the right choices 90% of the time. I joined SW this time in May when my youngest was 5 weeks old. It's only been the...

I use my hands to squish extra lean mince together with a bit of Worcestershire sauce and some chopped fresh herbs (whatever is lurking in the fridge or overgrowing on the balcony!) then I just divide it up and wrap some round a babybel. Cook them in the oven (15-20mins ish I think, I just take...

Melt in the middle burgers, SW chips, & salad :)

Well done!! We usually take the kids to McDs on a Monday night after my eldest son's swimming lesson. The past few weeks I've just been having a small chips and a diet coke, but I've just made melt-in-the-middle burgers for tonight's dinner - far nicer than McDs, i can have 2 if i really want...

My C is brilliant, she joined as a new member in January and has just trained as a C, then relaunched our group on 8th September. She started at the same weight I did and has the same target as me, since January she has lost just over 4.5st and it is amazing seeing how different she looks now...

Have got a gammon joint cooking in the slowcooker, will have it with broccoli, carrots and a baked potato. The others are having 'proper' roast potatoes!

Cake! I make birthday and wedding cakes etc, and used to eat the bits I'd cut off when trimming them ready for icing! Cupcakes are the worst though, I just can't resist them!

Huge grilled mushroom, bacon, and scrambled eggs.

Well done!!

KFC style chicken. Was a huge hit last week and the kids begged me to make it again this week!

1.5lb off for me :) very happy with that as I fell off the wagon at the weekend!

For lunch I had some leftover chilli inside q huge flat mushroom. Couldn't be bothered to wait for rice to cook! Grated hexA of cheese melted on too. Was yummy! Just about to make falafels for dinner, but will have mine when I get home from WI later.

Tesco have individual Muller Lights 10 for £3 :)

Hahaha As a fellow breastfeeder i squealed when I saw that bit! Ouch! Amazing video, certainly very inspiring.

Eeeek exciting!!

To get my 1st award - 4.5lb away :)

Glad it's not just me who struggles to eat all the extra hexs!!

All 15, I'm breastfeeding so it's recommended to have them all. When I stop breastfeeding I'm going to see how it goes with 15 a day, if I don't lose much each week I will drop it to 10 for a few weeks to see if that makes a difference.

Hell yes! Bit different to my cheapy old samsung!

The kfc style chicken in the recipe section is really lovely. We had it for dinner last night and even my fussy 4yr old loved it! I did a mixture of chicken breasts and drumsticks and cut the breasts into nugget size pieces. We had it with corn on the cob (I had broccoli instead), baked beans...

I will update my diary on the laptop later and then share the link. My poor laptop has been very neglected since I got this phone!

Woooo well done! You must look a lot slimmer even if you don't feel it x

0.5 off for me but I'm pleased with that, hopefully the exercise will show next week! Is there a thread for 100% gang as I feel I should join to make sure I do better next week!

KFC style chicken from the recipe on here, fingers crossed it goes down well with the kids and OH! Already really hungry but don't dare eat before WI tonight lol.

Weetabix, milk and banana.

Only had a tiny bit so hopefully wasn't too many syns, spent so long making it so couldn't say no to a slice!

I'm really hoping for a loss this week, went a bit over my syns at the weekend (DDs 4th birthday = cake!) but have walked at least 10,000 steps a day since thurs and 3 days of 15,000 steps. Plus on Monday night I did 20 mins zumba on the Wii follows by 40mins Wii fit, and then did an hour of...

Honk! Day 1 :)

Banana Green beans Peppers Red onion Spring onions Beetroot White onion Apples

Baked potato, beans and bacon. No superfree so will have a massive fruit salad after zumba later.

Pasta, homemade meatballs, and sauce made with chopped tomatoes, onions and grated carrot.

Omelette made with 2 White onions, 1 red onion, loads of pepper and a slice of ham. I'm all onioned out!!

We sometimes have salmon baked in the oven in a foil parcel with lemon, but I put it on a bed of green beans and put some cherry tomatoes in around it so it all cooks together. Usually serve it with some homemade wedges or frylight roasted new potatoes cooked in a mixture of mustard, cider...

My MIL swears by WW but when I tried it before my wedding i was so hungry all the time! Lost a st then put it all back on in a week on honeymoon lol! Good luck :D

Have spent the morning at a baby group with little Noah. He is starting to sit so had a great time playing with the toys! I did have a custard cream and a tiny bit of apple juice so that's 5.5 syns so far today I think. Having trouble logging on to the SW website on my phone so will double...

As the title says, I will not be a fat bridesmaid. 2 friends have asked me to be chief bridesmaid at their weddings next year, one in April and one in May. I was so excited and thrilled to be asked, but I do not want to look back at the photos and feel that I'm the 'fat one'! It was just the...

Ham & cheese omelette with loads of steamed green beans. Just about to have a muller light and an apple.

HelsAngel im exactly the same as you. And go even less if I'm away from home. When I was 17 I went to Africa for just over a month and went twice in that time!! It does affect my weightloss if I dont go before WI as my scales are the same as my SW group ones and I've weighed myself before and...

Ooooh yum!!

Brilliant thank you!! Xx

Can anyone tell me how many syns in beef brisket? Had it in the slow cooker all day and it was gorgeous, just realised I might need to syn it though as there was fat on it (didn't eat the fat but could see it in the water). Thanks!

1lb off for me, very happy with that as I have had a naughty week! Will start a diary tomorrow I think as I need to stay on track now. I will not be the fat bridesmaid at 2 weddings next spring!!

Burger and salad for me tonight, synning the roll as burgers just aren't the same without a roll and I don't really like wholemeal bread.

Weetabix, milk, banana.

Half-syn roulade! Can't link to it as I'm on my phone but if you do a search on here it should come up. I love it, doesn't take too long and feels like a real treat (and if you eat the whole thing it's not the end of the world!)

I had a ham, mushroom and cheese omelette followed by loads of grapes.

Just had slow cooked beef with mustard roast new potatoes (no fat, just a bit of stock in the roasting tin) and broccoli. Shape delights apple crumble for pudding and going to have some strawberries and grapes in a bit.

Zumba is fantastic! I have no coordination at all and can't do half the moves but it's really great fun and it stops me sitting at home thinking about exercising hehe! Have also just bought it for the Wii, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow in time for lots of practice before the class on weds!!

If I know I won't be having the superfree with my dinner I munch on fruit whilst I'm cooking, fills me up a bit so I don't over eat the meal.

My Fitness Pal and Nutracheck have barcode scanners that show the calories in a product and allow you to add it straight to the food diary - would be nice if SW could have a Syn version!

Cod with herby Mayo/breadcrumbs on top, with mash and green beans.

Ham salad, muller light and an apple

I started a couple of years ago, lost a couple of stone but then had to stop going to group as my husbands work hours changed and I didn't have anyone to look after the children. I told myself I'd stick at it but that soon went out of the window. 2yrs and one more baby later and the weight I...

Drank loads of water this week, did an hour of zumba last night and a couple of 30 day shred sessions during the week. Also really upped my fruit intake. I'm breastfeeding too but haven't had a loss like this before now so I'm guessing it's nothing to do with that! Stick with it, lots of...

6lb off for me this week (much better than my 6lb gain last week lol!) So so happy, was aiming for 3lb! Can't believe it.

Homemade burgers with salad and wedges. Will have mine when I get home from WI so will treat myself to a burger bun too hehe.

Mushroom omelette, 2 apples and a muller light

I went cold turkey on bread, I can't stop after one slice so well done for your will power! Unfortunately that also means I've stopped baking it much to my family's disappointment! I can't resist the smell of freshly baked bread so no one gets it! I've started buying normal sliced loaves for...

Yes fenugreek is brilliant! I take it most days (when I remember lol) and it really does work. I get it in holland and barrett.

I have a pair of size 10 jeans that I used to wear all the time. After my son was born I was a size 20 so no hope of fitting in any of my old clothes, we live in a small flat so I had no choice but to get rid of all my pre-pregnancy clothes - but I kept the one pair of jeans. I'm still a size 18...

It's amazing! Tastes really naughty but it's free on EE using hexA Parmesan. Only superfree in it is onion though and didn't fancy a side salad so ate 2 apples whilst cooking it and will have banana and grapes with a muller light for pudding.

Butternut squash and bacon risotto, my favourite :)

Well done!! That's a brilliant loss, keep it up :)

I was really worried about this, but I just went completely cold turkey on the oil, butter, cream etc and now I much prefer SW friendly versions! Today we went to my inlaws for a family BBQ and my MIL had made cous cous with chunks of roasted sweet potato in along with loads of other dishes. I...

Raspberries Lettuce Tomatoes Apples Grapes And will have BNS, tomatoes, onion and carrot for dinner.

Waiting for dinner to cook but don't think it will be ready before I have to go out at 8 :( going to have a muller light and an apple so I can have some dinner when I get home. Going out for a drink tonight with the lady taking over as consultant at my group as I've been leafleting for her...

The vegetable tagine from the new mag. Looks lovely!

Hello everyone, only just seen this thread! I'm currently breastfeeding my 3rd, 4.5 month old Noah. I didn't get much support with DS1 so ended up switching to bottles at 3 days old. DD I managed to feed for 4 months but gave up when she got a cold and wouldn't latch on, also went a bit loopy...

Honk! Exactly 15 syns (meant to eat all 15 as I'm breastfeeding)

Yep! Just double checked in the book lol. x

Apples Grapes Tomatoes Spinach Mushrooms Onion

I know! I only got my iPhone a month ago but been checking to see if they had an app on DHs phone for months. Can't believe it's taking so long!

Brilliant thank you! Just getting set up with my fitness pal now :)

Good luck!

I am fed up of logging into the SW website from my phone to add stuff to my food diary. I know there is a SW app in progress but in the meantime I would really like a decent food diary app. I just want to keep track of what I'm eating during the day so I can add everything to my SW food diary...

Well done Nikki! DH is just serving up Spinach, chicken & tomato curry from one of the EE books. Having it with rice and half a naan (5.5 syns). Pudding is a melted double choc Alpen light with a muller light and some fresh pineapple. Yum yum!

I have a Twirl on my way home from WI. I used to get a cheeseburger from McDonalds as I have to walk past McDs on my way to and from WI. I have now started buying a Twirl on the way there and eating it slowly on the way home, and also started crossing the road before I get to McDs!!

Me too please :) need a challenge to keep me on track! Would love to lose 10lb in September. Sounds quite a lot to me but best to aim for the moon and fall among the stars right?! AgingRockChick - (0lbs lost - 8lbs to go) Alyce- (0lb lost- 9lb to go) bugsbunny2000 - (0lbs lost - 11lbs to go)...

I love 30 day shred! I need to start again though as I haven't done it much for a few weeks. With a 6lb gain this week after holiday I could do with the boost it will give me! I feel exhausted but amazing afterwards and after the first few times you feel it getting easier. I've been to zumba a...

Don't think I've posted on here before? Anyway, I'm Jen and I need to lose 5st :s I had lost 8.5lb but was on holiday last week and put 6lb back on ooops! I had a good time though so I don't really care, just need to be really good now! I joined SW in may when my youngest was only 5 weeks old. I...

Chilli and baked potato here. Going to put chilli in the slow cooker in a min so it's ready when we get home from a friends house later.

Sounds silly but are you eating and drinking enough? I've always found that if I don't drink much water I don't lose much, if anything. And the week I was I'll and barely ate I stayed the same. What are you eating on an average day? I've seen a few new people in my group who only lost 1/2lb in...

Just opened a curly wurly and waiting for my 1/2 syn roulade to cool down before having some of that. Baby is having a growth spurt and has been breastfeeding loads today so im really hungry tonight!

Tomatoes Onions Apples Carrots Pepper Strawberries Raspberries Grapes

I'm back on track after a camping holiday last week. Would have been fine if weather was good and we could cook on the BBQ or little gas stove every night but it was too cold/windy/wet most nights so we ended up with takeaway or at a restaurant! Tonight I made pork, apple and sage meatballs...

Hi everyone, I started at 14st 6.5lb, lost 2lb at first WI on Thurs so now 14st 4.5lb. I've promised my leader I wont stick to it 100% straight away and ease myself in gently as I had my 3rd baby recently and he's only just 6 weeks old. I'm breastfeeding too so I was a bit worried about...

Hi everyone, I first tried SW a couple of years ago and did really well (on Extra Easy) until my husbands work hours changed and I couldn't make it to group anymore :( I swore I'd stick to the plan and just weigh myself at a set time in Boots each week, but after a few weeks I fell off the...
