Thanks MadameLaMinx - I will certainly give things a go. My trainer did mention to me once that I might not be eating enough but I was like 'yeah whatever!'. If you've got a weight problem you don't often feel like you're not eating enough!!! I was going to PM you to tell you which class I...

Thanks for your reply! I actually asked my consultant about changing plan a few months ago but I feel she was really selling Extra Easy. But I might give it a go if you can interchange days maybe it will SHOCK my body into losing some weight hahaha. I only drink water and plenty of it -...

Hello! Thanks for the quick reply, just even reading it made me smile to know that people do understand - I do tend to get quite selfish when losing weight as I think 'it's all about me' ;) I'm currently following Extra Easy and I haven't really set myself a target yet but the lowest I can...

Hi everyone, Just looking for a bit of motivation. I'm struggling so much - I've been 'good' BUT I reckon I must be doing something wrong as not technically lost any more weight since February. I started in October, got to 13 pound lost by February. I am an extremely slow loser anyway but...

Well done everyone! Weighed last night.... week 1 only lost a pound, week 2 only lost half a pound and this week finally managed to shift 3 whole pound! Thank goodness... I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me, especially since my friend has lost nearly 11 pound in the same...

For carrot and coriander...I fry red onion a little in fry light, then add peeled sliced carrots, celery and coriander stalks to pan. Cover with chicken or vegetable stock and plenty of pepper. Boil, wait to cool, add coriander leaves then whizz up with hand blender. It's really nice and you can...

Thanks odd_sock - I hope so haha!!!! xx

I never understand bra sizes either. I'm a 34E - NEVER lose weight off them ever! In fact when I lose weight they look bigger because my stomach and waist are smaller! I'm 5ft4ish and I'm a size 16 and always have been. My heaviest weight at the time was about 13st7 and I actually lost 19...

I relented in my fear of scales and rejoined SW... Only lost 1lb in my first week, I was very disappointed having followed religiously EE and lots of exercise as per (did 4 classes and a PT session). My consultant looked at my diary and couldn't see any reason why I wasn't losing more so of...

Ha ha thank you. Trying to be positive thinking at least I didn't put any weight on like I thought I had. More super speed next two weeks. Loads of melon x

Well done everyone. Did weigh in this morning. 2 weeks I weigh myself. Only lost half a pound!! Do I win the award for slowest weight loss ever?! God it's so frustrating. Any suggestions? :(

Oops I just ate some, nevermind!

Is Warburton's milk roll still a healthy extra? I swear it used to be years ago Thanks xxxx

What a dreadful thing for that ww consultant to imply. How rude of them. I wouldn't feel disheartened by your loss it is still coming off (this is what I tell myself) plus slow and steady wins the race!! :)

Maybe it's syn free then, lol I wish!!

12 days with no sweets and counting. Aside from 2 aniseed imperials but my big downfall is jelly sweets. Tangfastics, fruit pastilles, jelly beans....mmmmmm :)

And mine is scared to ever drop below 13. I'm afraid I probably have no suggestions that you haven't already tried. (or that work for me ha ha) Plenty of melon I seem to find makes me wee a lot ;) don't know if that's good! Lol. :D

Oh god yes. I'm still waiting for them to find miracle cure :)

I've heard it's healthier to lose it slowly so maybe we're in it for the best :) Yep I'm equating to approx 1lb per week. Started 4 weeks ago and lost 4.5lbs in total :) Well done everyone for this week!!!

Thanks I felt a bit disappointed this morning but I'm a slow loser so I don't know why I was surprised! No I didn't go for it in the end I decided to do it myself. I thought I'd never be able to get Rosemary Conley 5% fat rule out of my head but it's well and truly gone and I'm finding SW easy...

Just to let you know I weighed and it was 2.5lbs lost (that's the last two weeks) so a total of 4.5lbs. Couldn't stick to the monthly weigh in I was too desperate to know ha ha!!! :) Finding it easier now. I do worry I'm eating too much cheese (sticking to amounts for HEXA) but perhaps it's...

Hi I thought I would join this thread as I'm a slow loser... I only weigh every two weeks and I lost 2.5lb this morning. I feel a little disappointed although I don't know why I'm surprised because I am a slow loser! I just thought it would be more considering last week I thought I had a water...

Sorry if this has been posted before. I've done a search and couldn't find! Any ideas how many syns in a Chinese king prawn pineapple (no batter) it's a friend's birthday this evening :( Thank you in advance!!

I don't really like chocolate but god do I love sweets!!! Jelly ones like fruit pastilles and tangfastics!!!! I gave up eating them on Monday and so far I've stuck to it but I REALLY WANT SOME RIGHT NOW! If I could do it in moderation I would. But I can't. One or two turns into the whole bag. I...

Hi I'm fairly new back to SW too. Into 3rd week now. Don't know my weight loss yet as I only weigh monthly. I agree with you about WW, I tried it religiously for about 16 weeks and lost 2 rubbish pound. My biggest success was with Rosemary Conley when I lost 17 pound but it simply stopped...

I know what you mean about noticing a difference but don't feel too bad. We're all human. Tomorrow is a new day. X

I think everyone is so different. I'm 5ft4 and a size 16. I lost 17 pound on Rosemary Conley and I was still a size 16 even tho they say 10 pound is a dress size. As long as you are comfortable then I don't think clothes size matters. We are all such different shapes x

I do quite a bit of exercise because I enjoy it (strange I know!) I'm third week into slimming world and only weighing every month so I hope the combination of the eating plan and the exercise will help. Monday - Spin class or Body Pump class (sometimes I do both or combined with some gym work...

I'm no chef (in fact I'm pretty awful in the kitchen generally) but this is really easy, I promise!!!

No I know exactly what you mean. People keep saying to me, well how will you know?! And it is easier to fall off the wagon only weighing monthly (I ate a biscuit this morning :() But I don't lack motivation to lose weight so I just have to be patient - let's face it I didn't put the weight on in...

Ha ha sorry I didn't make it sound very clear did I?! Yes made up with water (about 1 pint to 1.5 pints I use) Or just follow the packet. Sorry!!!!! xxx

Yep normal rice works fine it's just the risotto rice has a better risotto consistency. I've been known to make it with Uncle Ben's mushroom rice (the microwave one) and even paella rice works the same way. You could do it with cous cous too, try it and see! Just cook it the same way, add a...

Button mushrooms 1-2 red onions Risotto rice (100g ish per person) Veg stock cube (1 pt of boiling water, or follow what rice packet says) Philadelphia Extra Light or Laughing Cow Extra Light I really do this recipe by sight rather than measuring anything out but it's lovely and creamy...

Yes please!!! xxx

Thanks for that, I think I will have to weigh myself every month. I just can't do it to myself every week anymore. Too many mornings nearly throwing the scales out of the bedroom window and then being in a childish strop all day!!!! I honestly do think now that I wasn't eating enough as over...

Hi all, I am new to forum. I have decided to come back to Slimming World (I did it years ago when I was young and put on a couple of extra pound - how I wish I was that weight now!!!) For the past two-three years I have been doing Rosemary Conley. Very successful at first, I lost 19 pounds...
