Hurrah!! Another 1.5lbs off this week! :D I really don't feel I deserve it as I have been a bit naughty this week, all nibbling and eating things I shouldn't have at work. However, I have been to the gym twice this week, so I guess I've got away with it. Only one more weigh-in before I go away...

Whoopee! I got my 1 stone award tonight! :) I had had my first gain last week due to a meal out with the residents from work right before weighing (jacket potato and beans and 1.5 pints of diet coke!), so I put on 3.5lbs! I wasn't that bothered about it as I had been to the gym a couple of times...

Whoopee! I lost 2lbs this week. :D It was a morning weigh, so might have something to do with it, but still, hooray. I also got the Slimmer of the Month for June. Cool. :D Only 1.5lbs to go to my stone award... Can I do it this week? * still hasn't arrived. (No, there's no way I'm pregnant...

Black Belt training in Weston-Super-Mare this morning, so I've been up since 5.15am. *yawn* It's not that bad, it's set to be a lovely day, so I am looking forward to it. :D I thought I might have ached somewhat this morning after the gym yesterday, but nothing so far, which is good. I expect...

Woohoo! Go me! I actually went to the gym! :character00116::0clapper::woohoo::wee: I feel rather crappy now, though. I didn't have any bananas this morning and so I only had 2 Weetabix for breakfast; I usually have a banana sliced on top of it. I don't think all I ate was enough to go to the...

Okay. I'm now dressed in my gym stuff. That's progress, right? At least I'm not sitting here in my pyjamas any more...

Sooo... Do I make it to the gym this morning? Hmm... Had a good night's sleep last night and feel somewhat refreshed, but still tired. I think I may have slept a little funny as my back's a bit sore, which annoys me a little as last month or so I bought a memory foam mattress, which cost me half...

Trying to get back on track yesterday and today after my little "slip" on Wednesday. Not too bad so far, but last night I did finish off my son's spaghetti which he didn't want (I'm not 100% sure what went in it as my Mum had made it for him the night before when she was babysitting when I was...

This morning I feel like yesterday afternoon ruined everything, like I've put back on all the weight I've lost so far. :( I know that's just silly, and I haven't, really. I guess it's just a morning grump. *humph*

Whoops! I had a little bit of a slip-up at work today. It started with the stuffing, 5-6 roast potatoes (piggy!... Okay, I was hungry!) and roast parsnips cooked in oil with my lunch, which I didn't think was too bad, and I accepted it. Then, a little later some fried bubble and squeak, 2...

Yeah, thanks, I'm trying not to let it get to me, but after all my losses, it was a bit of a kick in the teeth, especially since I didn't do anything to deserve it. Never mind, it can only be water weight as I've not eaten anything to warrant gaining actual fat.

Boo hiss. Weigh-in tonight revealed I had gained half a pound, despite following the plan to the letter this week. *sulk* Not impressed, but I suppose I must look on the bright side: it's only half a pound, and I think it might be coming up to star week again (great!). Never mind. Plod on with...

Hurrah!! I lost another 3lbs this week and was Slimmer of the Week for the third week in a row. Yippee! :D

Hurrah!! Lost another lb! :D Okay, so it's only one pound, but those pounds all add up, and at least it's still a loss. I admit I was a little disappointed when I saw it was only one, and the numbers did hover around the half-pound mark, but I was pleased when I saw it stuck on the whole pound...

Well, it's that time of the week again: the run up to the dreaded weigh-in! I have been angelically good this week, and so I should see a loss; however, after the last two weeks where I have lost 3.5lbs each week, I am expecting it to slow down, as it always does. I feel as though my appetite to...

In the end I had some leftover Free pasta salad that I had taken to work yesterday for lunch but hadn't eaten. Work this evening was a struggle; I toyed with the idea in my head so many times about treating myself to a piece of cake or a biscuit this evening (work has so many yummy cakes on...

Woohoo!! I did it! I lost another 3 1/2lbs and got my half-stone award and I was Slimmer of the Week! Yay! :talk017::party0011::wee: Thought to myself last night that I might allow myself a "cheat meal" or even a whole "cheat day" but I realise that it would only be shooting myself in the foot...

I wouldn't worry about those too much. At least you went for the lowest Syn alcoholic drink you could have. A week last Friday, my first SW week, I went out and got rather inebriated on Bacardi and Diet Coke (I did count them, though, I had 8 which equates to 20 Syns), and it didn't affect my...

Well, I'm off to weigh in about ten minutes... eek! I hope it will be a good result. I've got my fingers crossed that I can have lost another 3.5lbs this week and get my 1/2 stone award, but I think that might be being a little ambitious! Skipped breakfast as I didn't want it to weigh me down...

Sweetie, I am an ex-bulimic, so that's not remotely strange to me. ;) I know precisely what you mean. Slimming World really helps me mentally as it shows me that I can eat heaps of food without feeling guilty about it and without putting on weight. It's a lifeline in more ways than one. :)

Okehampton here! *waves* :D

Hi, there! :D I know all-too well about silly shift patterns and how they screw with your eating. I used to work behind the bar in a nightclub and I wouldn't get home until sometimes 5-6am. I'm currently working in a residential home for the elderly where I'm a care assistant, but we work stupid...

Aww, no, I'm so sorry to hear that, hun! I would be gutted as well, especially since you'd planned it so well! :( I don't really know what to suggest, other than going to another local group, explaining the situation, joining there and then transferring? I don't know if you're allowed to do...

Hi, there! :D I find when I'm at work to be my most difficult time. I work in a residential home for the elderly and there's always loads of yummy food around: biscuits, home-made cakes, leftover chips etc, so it's really hard to keep focused and not nibble! Fruit is my saviour at the moment...

Cool! :D What was it you do/did? I really hope you're right, as I don't want to be at the back of the group again, in tears, on the runs to and from the beach as I have been on past occasions!!

Yep, I'm the same. Planning is everything. If I leave it to the last minute I'm liable to have something rubbish that doesn't really follow the plan: for example the other night I had bacon medallions, baby jacket potatoes and processed peas. Totally not balanced as far as Extra Easy goes as I...

Hey, don't worry, * weeks are trying for all of us - I find I'm soooo hungry that I want to eat everything in sight and then some; even when I'm fit to burst with Free Foods I still crave sweet stuff. I'm just finishing my * week and it's been damned hard going for me. There have been so many...

Hiya! :D Good luck with your weigh-in! Mine's tomorrow as well! 10am. I'm dreading it as even though I've been 100% good this week, for some reason I don't feel I've lost anything much to write home about. (Okay, I confess, I've been "cheat-weighing", something they always advise you against...

Hi there! :D I'm on SW, so feel free to bounce ideas off me; if I can help, I'm more than happy to. ;) If you don't feel you "need" your Syns, then I say don't have them. Syns are your safety net, designed to give you that little extra should you need it to stop you snapping completely because...

Yes, I know, what an original title, but I couldn't think of anything else to call it. I thought it a good idea to contain all my thoughts and feeling relating to my weight loss in one place, rather than dotting them all around in various places around the forum and never being able to find...

A good one for me is sliced banana with some sweetener sprinkled over it (sweet tooth!) with a Toffee Mullerlight on the top. It tastes like you're eating loads of Syns, but you're not! Yummy! :D

I'm trying to muster up the motivation to go this morning before work. It's raining at the moment (big surprise, there!) and it's over a mile walk up to my gym... Perhaps one more coffee...

I've been wondering this, over the past couple of days, too, even though I'm a SW veteran and I know it's not true! I've been feeling really bloated and sluggish over the past week (blessed * week) and I have been wondering if it's due to the amount of pasta and potatoes I've been eating. I...

I weighed tonight for my first week and I have lost 3.5lbs, even though it's approaching * week! Hooray! :D I've been really good all week, apart from Friday night where I dented my Syns a little, I went up to 22, but that was only with Bacardi and Diet Coke, and I did have a good night, so it...

Good luck, Gemma, I'm sure you'll be fine. If anything hurts, stop. Of course, it might be uncomfortable, but you only need push yourself as far as you feel you can. And I am sure the gym staff will be more than happy to help you; the staff at my gym are great. :) xx

I've been a member of the gym for about three months and in that time I have gone once (apart from one Pilates class)... shameful, really. However, this morning I was determined that I wasn't going to sit on my rather well-covered posterior any longer, and so I dragged the aforementioned up...

Thanks, yeah, I am back on Slimming World again. I rejoined yesterday morning. :) I did it years ago and found it to be really good, but the temptation of junk was too much for me and so I put it all back on again! Hopefully this time I will stick to it!!! x

Hello everyone, I was wondering whether there are any fellow Tae Kwon-Do'ists on here. I've been training with the TAGB for just over five years now and achieved my black belt in April 2010. :) xx

Hi! :) A colleague of mine lost about 4 stone with Lipotrim - she said it was tough sometimes but she stuck with it and now is a shadow of her former self! :) Good luck! xx

Hi, I'm a new starter on SW (this time around, at least!) and am also new here. I am also very pleased I found this site; from the small amount of it I've seen so far I already love it. Good luck!! xx

Hiya, I'm a newbie here, too, and I have also just started SW... again! ;) I know what it's like to struggle at this diet and that, all too well. I've tried most. However, maybe this time we can both stick at it and get the results we want. Summer's coming, so it's salad weather, which always...

Hello everyone, I'm new here, as you can probably tell by the title of this thread. ;) I have been on probably every diet under the sun over the past 12-14 years, ever since I was about 17. All have failed me in the past, or rather, I have failed at them. The only one I have had any success in...
