Hey everyone, Hope you're all doing well! I weighed in today at 17st 13lb so can just about come and join you guys! :D I'm feeling very motivated to get through the 17's as two big mile stones - at 17st 11 i'll have lost 5 stone :eek: and at 17st 2lb i'll no longer be obese which will be...

Hey everyone!! Well after a good week I'm thrilled to report a 3lb loss which takes me to.....*drum roll please*......17st 13lb!!! :D Am absolutely chuffed as its taken over two months to get through the 18's after lots of blips but am over that now and on best behaviour!! Hope to see you all...

Oh wow I love Cornwall, sounds great! Well done for sticking with it, can't be easy!!! Must be tough not weighing also! I'd be tempted to nip into a local SW group or even just boots lol.:ashamed0005:

Well I finally got round to trying it with frylight (not a fan of it generally as seems very artificial/chemically :confused:) and they came out quite dry? I sprayed a lot at the start and half way through but were still nice but will probably stick to EVOL (I do green so have an extra HexB)...

I've been wondering about this too as although I have a goal I suspect I'll want to lower it when I get there (haven't been a healthy BMI as an adult so wasn't sure :o) but presumably as we can (and do! lol) eat a lot on Slimming World won't your weight loss eventually just plateaux without the...

Well done Hamish's Mum! Definitely not too big!!!! Its hard at first but it does get easier and the feeling afterwards is amazing!! If you are self-conscious (who isn't eh?) then I find going in the morning better as it tends to be regular people using it then and in the evenings you get the...

Thank you Vicki!!! BEST of luck for tomorow! Fingers crossed for you! :cross: And Thanks Shirleen! (even though I'm not a woman lol :character00115: :giggle:) Keep up the good work fat&40, almost there! :party0049: And many congrats to Jane B, you did it!! Hope to see you on the 17's...

All I did was click on 'User CP' on the top left of the blue bar, then under 'settings and options' click 'edit avatar' and then 'choose file'. If it doesn't work then it may be too big or the wrong file type? If so you could try the forum technical help section here: Forum Technical Support...

Well done Shirleen and congrats Karen!!!!! Hope to see you there next week!! :D

I also work shifts including nights so use the day is when you get up to when you go to sleep (excluding naps) as found I was abusing midnight to midnight by using it as a green light to eat loads just after midnight making me struggle the following night :o

The only one I've come across is Avoacdo as I used to have this all the time but at 9.5 syns per 100g on all plans I haven't had one yet :wave_cry::D

Yeah you can use frylight or I tend to use extra virgin olive oil as a HexB :)

Very pleased to report an 8lb loss this week!! This takes me to 18st 2lb so going to work really hard this week and hopefully get into 17's next week!! :cross: I was here back at the start of August but WILL do it this time!!!! Only 5more lbs to get to the 5st mark!!! :eek:

Hi Mandy! Just come across your diary and wanted to wish you luck as you're doing amazing!! I also have trouble with anxiety and emotional eating but it has been much improved lately with losing weight so keep up the good work! :grouphugg:

Nevermind Keza88 these weeks happen every now and then, just have to remember the plan does work so stick with it and that pound will fly off in no time!! :D

LOL Mandy!! :8855: Well it looks my re-focus worked as I lost 8lb this week!!! :banana dancer: I'm determined to keep it up now as I've been yo-yoing up and down the 18 stones for about 2 months and want to put that behind me now! Just need to lose 5 more lbs and will have lost 5 stone!! :eek:

I work a completely random shift pattern which would of meant having to go to a different group on different weeks which although possible I probably wouldn't of stayed for the meetings as hate that part after WI and waiting for it to start trying to make small talk with strangers as am crap at...

HONK day 7 so hoping for a good WI tomorrow! :cross: Keep up the good work everyone! :0clapper:

Well done on the losses everyone!! Keep up the good work!!!! :happy096:

Well I made it through the week!!! Was really stressful at work but didn't give in this time! Really am determined now!! I'm even driving a different route to work to avoid the 3 drive through's that always call my name on the way home lol! I've got 5 days off now so just need to make sure I...

/Honk Day 4 :D

16 hours??:eek: Is that in a (very :p) slow cooker....? What did you have it with?

Wow keep up the good work! And well done everyone else too! HONK day 1 for me:happy036:

Doh so close but you never know! When do you weigh in, is there time to undo the damage? Still I'm sure you'll get there next week if not this one! :D

Grr cant sleep and got to be up for work in a couple of hours doh!! On the bright side my new actifry cooks tofu to perfection, all golden and crisp! So had a lush stirfry for dinner!! Really easy too as once the tofu was almost done I just chucked in the veg and it stirs it for u lol I think...

Best of luck for the weigh in!!! I was dreading joining the gym to be e honest but so far am really enjoying it! The feeling you get afterwards is amazing! I just need to reprogram my brain somehow so that when I feel low I exercise instead of eating crap! Considering I was a couch potato I...

Those potato skins look AMAZING!!!!!!! Just did a quick search and found the recipe here for anyone else who is also drooling lol Tex-Mex Feast Cant wait to try these!

lol you two! Alas another gain for me!! :ashamed0005: as I fell apart on the weekend again!! :booboo: I know where i'm going wrong now though and won't let it happen again!!!!!!! DETERMINED NOW :character00115:!!!!

I made my first ever omlette yesterday!! Was actually quite tasty and syn free!

Thanks keza88! How long have you been doing SW? Looks like you're doing well! I've got up bright and early to go to the gym and do my weekly food shop! I'm working 14 hour shifts tomorrow and weds so need to plan my meals and snacks so I dont end up raiding the vending machines!! I've now...

Greetings everyone! Time to confess! I’ve been on slimming world for two and a half weeks and unfortunately this is the second weekend in a row i’ve gone completely off track!!! I’ve just been feeling low and turning to junk food for a quick fix which of course only works for a short while...

FANTASTIC thread!! Very insightful and funny too! It definitely explains why I can be 100% all week and go mad at weekends! Its Fred!!!!!! No more mate!!!:devilangel:

lol alas I'm a bloke so with heels on your probably taller than me!! :D Kick boxing sounds fun, do you go to a class for that? I recently joined a gym which I'm actually quite liking so far! It didn't help that it was closed for four days over bank holiday though! doh! Not sure I'm brave...

Hey everyone, Many congrats on the losses!!! Keep up the good work!!!! Alas I COMPLETELY lost the plot over the bank holiday w/e and am only just getting back on track today which means a four pound gain for me!!! Drawing a line under it now! :break_diet:

I would say go for it! I joined SW and the gym last wednesday and had my first WI last night and lost 9lb!! :eek: Good luck with your decision :)

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good week! I have to say I very much enjoyed my first week, was great to be able to eat proper food having been on a VLCD. I also enjoyed the gym which I never thought I would! And it obviously works as I lost 9lb!!! Cant believe it!! Best of luck for the next...

Ta very much! I think I'm just about getting my head around it all! I checked all the syns on the slimmingworld.com syn tool so I think they're all okay though I'll be getting the lower versions on my next shop I think!

Hey everyone!!! I can just about squeeze in with you guys at 18 st 13.5 at my first meeting last night! Finding theres a lot to take in but loving the challenge. When does everyone weigh in? Keep up the good work!:grouphugg:

Hey folks! I went to my first meeting last night and actually rather enjoyed it which I wasnt expecting! There was lots of support and laughs. I also joined a gym and had my first session today which also went well so looking forward to seeing how I get on! Could someone please just check...

Well done folks that's great! I managed to make it 100% yesterday but woke up in the night feeling absolutely ravenous! I drank gallons of water and even had a shake but just felt like I had to eat...so alas I did! Nothing major but I was still so disappointed with myself. Have woken up...

Sorry to gatecrash but just wanted to thank everyone for their replies as this has been very helpful for making my mind up! I also lost about 4 stone with the old WW by using points on mainly crap and regained the weight unfortunately. When I finally decided to do something about it I tried the...

Well done everyone! We're almost through day one so hang in there! Am feeling really hungry so trying to keep busy as I know it will pass... Am going to try and get an early night I think as can't eat if i'm asleep lol Best of luck for tomorrow everyone!! :grouphugg:

Morning everyone!! Hope you're all having a good start! I braved the scales and have put on 10lb :eek: which I was expecting but not going to get down about it as I know if I stick to this diet it'll fly off so here we go!! First shake done and its such a nice day I'm off for a nice long...

Awesome!! Best of luck everyone!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done everyone!!!!! Onwards and downwards!! :D (Though I think an older list got copied somewhere as it missed my last update which you added :p)

I keep reading about this too! Not generally a fan of exercise dvd's so haven't ordered it yet but it has been sitting in my Amazon basket for quite a while lol Think I may just wait til I've lost a bit more so it will be a bit easier on the joints etc.... :rolleyes:

Thanks very much for the replies everyone! I think I need to invest in a decent pair of scales and see how I get on :cool:

Honk Honk!! :D

Hey folks! Hope you’re having a good week!:p Just a quick question to see if everyone weighs in at home? If so can you recommend a reliable set of scales as I don’t really trust mine! Since switching from LL I thought I’d do it each week at Tescos on their fancy machine but today they don’t...

Well done everyone and HUGE congrats Pinkie!!!!!!!!! AMAZING achiement!!!!! I hope RTM is going well? :happy096: Can you put me down for 6.7lbs for this week please so mini-goal achieved, just need to lose the same again and I'll be out of the obese category! :stickdance:

Congrats folks! Keep up the good work!! Can you put me down for 4.4lbs for this week please, cheers :)

Keep up the good work everyone!! You're doing great!!! I lost 6.7lb this week which is brill! I've left lighterlife today now though but hope you don't mind me carrying on as I'm still doing a VLCD (Exante) and still need to shift those 9.5lb :D

No thank you that is really helpful!! I took the plunge and told my LLC I'm switching and ordered my bumper pack which will come tuesday so will be interesting to see how it compares. ;)

Hi CornishPixie, I was just wondering how you were getting on with Exante as unfortunately I'm also considering switching due to cost...

Hiya, Would love to join too, didn't do the last one as my goal was just to stay on the plan until June 1st which I achieved! lol :D Could you put me down for 21lb please :character00115:

That is fantastic, huge congratulations!!!! :D

Well done everyone and best of luck for this week! I lost 4.6lb so onwards and downwards! :p

Wow you've both done brilliantly!! Many congrats!! I really need to stay focused today as going to a big family lunch with lots of 'food pushers' to contend with!! Determined to keep my 100% halo on though!!! ;)

Welcome and good luck, always lots of help and support here. First couple of weeks are rough but it does get easier! :cool:

Just had a look as remember seeing it, its in the tools section of the members area: Member Area I'm a cool blue and the description is scarily accurate! :eek:

Y.M.C.A :D

Just had a look at it and mine is in the overweight BMI category which I'm not happy about although it is lighter than I've been in a LONG time so I shall see how I feel when I get there.....

Thank you, just hope it continues! lol I think blokes lose it a bit quicker and I guess I have quite an active job but not contemplating exercise just yet! :eek:

Thank you alighterlife, hang in there it really does get easier!! Just got back and am still in shock, lost 8.4 lb!!!! :woohoo:

Hey folks, Hope you all had a good week! Have to say I've found week 3 best so far as the cravings have completely subsided and I'm just having the packs I like so its much easier. Can't believe I've done 3 weeks 100% - I've never stuck to a diet that long without cheating!! woop! lol...

Great thread! :D I've been off work for a few days and can't believe I had THREE people ask me if i've lost weight today!! After only 2 weeks! (apparently I have less chins :D:cry::D)

Congratulations SwanseaCity!! :D Best of luck alighterlife, I think a positive attitute really helps, especially on the tough days!:p

I've wondered about this too, all the guys in my group get the standard amount - 4 on LLT and 3 on LLL and one is much taller than me lol. When I was looking at the Cambridge diet they do give more to men & tall women......

Ooh sounds nice SC123, best of luck for tomorrow, let us know how you get on! :)

Many Congratulation FQ1!!!! Best of luck for this week :)

Hey Mandie, I could have written your first post, I've also found this week really tough with crazy cravings but managed to stick with it too. Think it must be a 2nd week thing as the other guy who started same day as us also said he struggled. Hoping this week will be easier!!! Best of luck ;)

Wow congrats that must have taken so much will power!! Keep up the good work!! :D

I've found this week really tough but managed to stay 100% and lost 6.4lb this week which takes me below 300 :) Best of luck to everyone else x

Wishing you the best of luck and hope for a safe recovery x

Hiya you can find your nearest shop here: https://www.theworks.co.uk/corporate/Stores It was in the health section :greenapple:

Well done everyone! I had a crap day at work but still wooping :sigh:

Many congrats to Mandie!!! Its a great feeling isn't it!!! Just the boost we need to crack on with week 2 eh? :grouphugg:

Best of luck for tonight Mandie and well done for getting through the first week! I'm in the same boat and will post later how I get on. Can already feel the benefit so hoping it will be reflected on the scales! Also looking forward to trying my first bar tomorrow lol :angel09:

I can totally relate to you both! I'm finding this both the easiest and the hardest diet as I can't believe i'm not hungry and the foodpacks aren't too bad and easy to make etc - I think the porridge is my favourite, I make it quite liquid, put it in a cup and drink it lol Its dealing with...

Hey everyone, Just found this site and it looks like lots of helpful info! I had my first meeting on Monday. Was very nervous beforehand but it all went well! The LLC was very nice and the other guys in the group were welcoming to me and the other new starter. Started my packs on tuesday...
