Had a peek on the scales and I'm 3lbs down! Woooo! A good friend of mine swapped my exercise bike for her cross trainer. How brill is that?! Don't get me wrong, I like the exercise bike, but recently I was growing less and less fond of it. I love the cross trainer and notice more of a result...

So this time round things are going very well. Sticking to the EE plan again. I'm thinking of doing a photo food diary. Im not sure why but I think that might be better for me than just writing everything down? Managing to drink water easily too. So this is making me think I'm definitely on...

So many times I have been here before, and I have failed miserably. Why, I don't know. Surely if I wanted to lose weight so much it'd be easy right?! Not so much. Theres so many reasons why I want and NEED to do this. I am 25 in a few weeks and feel way older. I'm tired all the time and have...

Well done! 5lbs is fab! I too have lost a total of 5lb. I'm not too disappointed as 5lb off is better than nothing, or 5lb on :D

Hey. Yea I drink diet lemonade and vodka. I just tend to forget to keep count! My friend keeps a certain amount of pennies in her left cup of bra and with every drink she moves a pennie to the right so she never goes over her allocated syns. I shud take heed of this next time I'm out haha

Well done with ur excellent loss hun! Fantastic!

Maintaining is better than gaining though so stay positive. Its my work christmas dinner 2moro. Apart from the alcohol I've worked the menu around 2 suit. :D. May flexi syn my alcohol!

Thank u! :D

2lbs off for me at todays WI. So chuffed with that! I was gona attempt Red days but think I'm going 2 stay with what I know - green and EE. Might swap and change days and mix it up a little. One green, one EE. We can definitely do it girlies :D

Definitely hospital just in case. x

Ah thank u very much! Uve been a big help :D Thanks!

I'm doing it from home and have a few books but not much. I've always done EE or Green so Red is so new to me hehe So basically with red its all meats fish and veggies. And potatoes cheese etc I can use either as syns or HExtras? Thank u. I will have a read through your diary later x

Welcome all :D We can do it :)

think of it that at least it was a loss and not a gain :D Hope u have a better week ahead of you x

Having followed Green or EE since starting SW, I now want to give Red a go. I haven't got a clear idea on what is free or not & what the Healthy Extras are. Please help:confused:

I weigh in on Wednesday. Hoping for 2 or 3 off this week. fingers crossed! Good luck laurenC!

Wow - lots of posts since I was last on lol! Before my fall off the wagon my loss per week was anything from 1lb a week - 4lb a week, depending on how the week went. I won't be 2 disappointed if the whole 10 doesn't come off by Xmas as like I said I have a lot of weight to lose anyway, but...

Well done on your loss!! U'll have the other 7lb off in no time I'm sure! x

Thank you! I'm gona try and be 100% on plan for def. I need to. Going to give Red days a shot. I havent really done them before, so reading up on what I can have etc.

Hiya! Yes a buddy wud be brilliant! At the moment I'm 15 4 after gaining 6lb during my honeymoon. - want at least 10lb off by Xmas but in all I have A LOT to lose. When I first joined SW I stuck 2 EE or Green but I think I'll give red a go for a bit and see if that helps with loss...

Hey, So, I fell off the wagon after I got married (26.10.11) and seriously need to get stuck back into it! I'd love about 10lb off by Xmas. Is this too much 2 hope 4 or do you reckon its doable?:confused: Mrs Lele x

Ok, so I have shamefully fell off the wagon since my wedding (26.10.11). Luckily, I haven't gained, but I need to lose about 7lb asap. I'm not going to set a target weight as such, just want to keep the lbs coming off in time for Xmas. I know I can do it, just got to keep focused! So, wish...

I've been MIA here a little bit. But with 5days to go, yes 5!!!!!! I'm on target :) :) :)

Hi there! I am 11days from my wedding day and have just 5lb left to go until I reach my target wedding day weight. Still have a long way to go after mind! But my aim was to get into my size smaller wedding dress & I did it :D :D :D :D

My wedding is on a Wednesday and although the only children we are having are our 4 nieces (flowergirls & junior bmaids) & our son they will all have to be off school for the day. I think it's just people's own preferences. :D Lele

i bought mine from this site - Just For You Bridal - TheWeddingDressCompany | Designer Wedding Dresses UK | Just for you bridal i ordered my dress a size smaller & i fit into it perfectly :D cant wait to wear it, almost 17 days to go

Hey! I bought my dress online, but took me FOREVER looking into the sites and i contacted a few of them for peace of mind before i decided who to order from :D

CONGRATULATIONS! x

Hey. So I picked up a packet of the vegetable flavor as I thought it'd be handy for work. I've just had a look at the packet and there isn't any nutritional information on it at all! Anyone familiar? Have posted a pic of the Chicken one so you guys know what I'm talking about. Thanks in...

Half a lb off this week. At least its a loss and not a gain!!

I've had this debate at home also! I'm getting married in October. When we had our son we gave him a double barrelled surname, Mine then H2B's. We always did plan on getting married at some stage, we just wanted to include my surname as there are no boys to carry my surname on. When we get...

Ok so I have really neglected this! I am still following the Slimming World plan, I just haven't had time to get online and record my diary. I've been keeping a paper log though. STS the last 2 weeks which I am very happy with! Haven't been out on the bike etc as I'd love to be, but my mum's...

Oh my! This year has totally flown in & with only 7 weeks until the big day it's now dragging in! Typical! Everything is done & waiting. Just still to find shoes. Haven't seen a pair yet that I love :/ Hen has been booked for the 1st October also :D Soooooo exciting! Lele xxxx

I think it's down to personal preference. I'm getting married in 7 weeks. My wedding ring cost £159 & my H2B's cost £45! He didn't want anything too much (he's not a jewellery person). I think it goes for rings as much as anything related to a wedding as, if you like it & can afford it get it! :D

Hi xxchristiexx sounds like I'm reading about myself there ;). I too fell off the wagon (but STS) & was in great need of a kick up the arse! So, like you, I'm back on it and ready to go 100%! Hope you get back on track and get some loss soon :)

My H2B and I are getting married this October and we had the same dilemma. I have a relatively large family and his is massive! What we have done is the people who are married/engaged/in a steady relationship with someone who we both have got to know are invited. If there's a plus one whom...

I'm starting this tomorrow! Scared & excited at the same time hehe

I'd a super chilled relaxing time away - just what I needed!! Was lovely. Part of me wishes I couldve stayed longer. I've read through about it here and seen before and after pics and was amazed at the results. Big believer of no pain no gain so I'm prepared hehe.

thank you! i know! I was seriously dreading weighing when I got home :D

hi craftylucyloo! i found a recipe for it on here if you search for it you should find something, but I changed the filling. Basically make your filling, then make the *pastry* out of instant mash! they were delish! Lele :D

After having a week of not *strictly* being on plan due to being on hols, I was relieved to find I'd gained just 1lb this week. Tomorrow I start the 30 day shred - wish me luck ;) Lele :D

Hi Charmel! I was away on hols, only back today, and had next to no internet access. Was just what both the OH and myself needed! Surprisingly after almost a week off plan (or not strictly *on* plan), I only gained 1lb! 2moro I begin the 30 day shred, wish me luck ;)

Haha Ellebear! Like you would not beleive! I kinda now want to go and re try my dress on now im down just over a stone. :D Off to the park with the munchkins as its about 23 here and scortching:D

hi largelesley! Welcome to Slimming World! I too don't go to classes. I had joined before but didn't really stick to it, so I have all the stuff from then. Your at the best place if you have questions though. I have found this site invaluable! It really is a fantastic place for support &...

i know exactly what you mean about hiding behind the layer of fat. It took me a loooong time to admit & realise that I had anxiety & emotional food problems. I've had food problems since I was a school girl & over time, along with a few other things, my weight has just kept creeping up and up...

Hey! Well, having reached my 1st goal on Slimming World (-16lbs) I have noticed that my periods are starting to level out again. I had lost roughly about half a stone from the beginning of the year just by cutting down etc. Do you think this is just a coincidence? I mean, I know that weight is a...

Why not have a jacket potato with beans & a side salad? ;)

Today I have woken in the greatest of moods! I'm more determined than ever! Just sitting in work this morning talking with a collegue about how a few little changes have made so much of a difference to my daily life. I drink a hell of a lot more water than I had before, I'm making healthier...

Oooh, I've just found this thread & love it hehe Have been sick of the bars in their normal form & was hoping I could do something different with them!! These tips are ace! Lele

after a not so "good" week with being out at the weekend & a work lucnh outing I still managed to shift a lb! so that's no -16lb and counting :D

WOOOOOOOO! So, 16lb down and counting!!!! Haven't found this 1st month too bad, just keep looking at the photo of my dress!!! Cannot wait until my big day now :D I'm feeling more determined than ever. I feel myself questioning myself now if I really want something. Saying to myself "do you...

Hey, I'm going it alone also! I joined about a year ago online & paid a fortune for all the stuff, but I gave up so so easily after a few months. Now I'm back & more determined than ever with my wedding approaching (october!) so I have all the stuff here. Good luck with your slimming journey.

I also love courgettes & carrot in mine, though some friends & family think I'm weird for it. you know what's funny? I used to always make spag bol with jars of sauce til I first joined Slimming World last year. Now, I cant stand them. Much prefer the taste of my home cooked instead :D

Hi Charmel! It was so hard, hence the ice cream :/ but not beating myself up about it. New week, new start. Really enjoying it though! Yes thank you! Loving the allowances with slimming world. Sometimes I forget I'm even on a diet!

Well seems losing weight has done something...have had my period every month from march, instead of the once every 3 months it had been for a while. I've to ring the hospital 2moro regarding my HSG test which I'm slightly freaking about :/

Woo! Yea we can do it Ellebear! I can't wait - it is flying in!! x

I agree! I also make sure there are mullerlights in my fridge along with pickles, beetroot etc as I love to snack on them.

Hi Staceystace! i had the implanon after having my son & I ballooned up something shocking! From then & with an unhealthy diet/lifestyle, I have struggled with my weight. Good luck with the Tesco diet & with your weight loss journey :D x

So, having lost 15lb in my first 3 weeks of Slimming World (woo!) I'm more determined than ever! :D

Thank you! Such an easy option for a grab & go snack!

Hey! Anyone know how many syns on each day are in the Matteson's Twisted Tails? I have a packet here in work & they are just calling out to me :D Thanks in advance :D

Thanks Circes! I've been kind of doing that anyway. Filling up on those & saving syns for the likes of sauces or a milky way if I need a choc fix hehe

Hi Charmel! *waves back* I just cannot grasp the fact that there is so much food available but "free" does this mean that say on an EE day I can have my potatoes, chicken & veg with the red onion syn free gravy (which i found on here) and it'll all be free??

Thank you wenjenn66!! Still can't grasp how we can be expected to lose with soooo much food available hehe. x

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to the Slimming World crew & have mostly been having green days, filling in the days I get bored of the food with Red. I'm baffled when it comes to Extra Easy. Have heard so many people talk about it. Can someone please explain what we can & can't have etc?

Thanks! I put a new battery in & re-weighed! Which reminds me, can anyone tell me how to update a weight ticker?

Ellebear!! Congratulations on your impending wedding too! :D Yes that would be brilliant, we all need as much support as we can get, right? xxx

Hi Dan! Welcome to SW & good luck with your weight-loss journey!

I'm glad I seen this post! I'm due to have this procedure soon. I was worried it'd be sore. Lele

Thank you! Wasn't sure if it had a syn value when cooked...duh! hehe Lele

Aww hun, reading your last post sounded like I was reading something I had written! I was chubby as a kid & got bullied a lot at school. Then when I turned 12 the weight dropped off me & I suppose you could say I was borderline for an eating disorder. I too got pregnant at 17 and gained about...

Oh good luck! I haven't found it too bad. Quite enjoying it. Though was a little discouraged this morning when I got up & weighed myself to see it says I've put 4lb ON! Think I might re-weigh later or tomorrow morning with a new batter in my scales. Before I weighed, it kept saying 0.4lbs with...

Ahhh thanks girls! I do have stuff here but it didn't actually say on it that red & green days are two. It just says have one from both. I'm using most of my syns at the moment on the likes of mayo, tomato ketchup etc. Finding it quite enjoyable actually. Was talking about it with my hubby...
