He washed my clothes? Are you kidding? He wouldn't know we had a machine, let alone how to use it! Thanks for the welcome back. We've posted with his job to Hampshire so it's his fault. I had to quit my jobs and now I just live in the fridge all day, every day. I've developed a love of...

Hi. I just thought I'd reintroduce myself. As an old member but not the most prolific of posters, I doubt anyone will remember me but I didn't want to just start joining in again without at least saying Hi. I'm married now and joked that after the wedding I could 'get fat'. Not so funny! I'm...

I'm doing ok thanks for asking. Nice of you to stop by. Not working, not shopping and not cooking is taking it's toll on being aware of what I'm eating but I should be back at work by the end of the week. So back on plan 100%. Twelve weeks to go! How's things going with you? Doing ok?

Hi Annya, thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it. I'm still here but I've let Mini's slip a bit. I've just had my operation and I'm a bit woosy from the pain killers etc. I'm doing WW now and it's going ok. I hope you're well and things are going good for you. I'll be back in the swing of...

Just popping over to say I've not stopped or fallen off the wagon, I've just had my operation so I'm drugged to the eyeballs on pain killers! Not killing my appetite unfortunately but I'm very tired. Hope you're all doing well. Diary will resume shortly! :)

Thank you. Mini BM sorted thanks to Debenhams and 20% off! Bargain! Just had a mcdonalds though so eaten into my points today already. Bloody town and no healthy choices!

I haven't updated for a few days. There's a reason, not that I fell off the wagon or anything but I've been feeling totally rough. I was on plan all the time and withon points but Thursday night I went out with the girls for a curry. Only a Weatherspoons jobbie, no massive temptation for...

I really want my dress to be just that little bit too tight so that I get a massive push to do something about my inches with exercise. I won't have alterations until early September so still plenty of time. I'm buzzing so much now I could just go running. Might get my ipod out tonight and...

Yep, other half is wearing uniform and the best man and 6 of his friends will be in their 2's for the guard of honour. It's the only thing I know absolutely nothing about, that and the honeymoon. As if I'm not excited enough, I've just had the call to tell me my dress is in :)

Thanks, I feel like i'm doing well too. It's great being in control again. :) Our colour scheme is Midnight Blue and Cerise. BM's are in midnight blue dresses (or Cayman Blue to be precise) and will have cerise, hot pink and fuschia flowers. To get an idea of our colours, here are our favour...

I think so, everything is booked and/or paid for, deposits at least. My dress isn't in yet, the bridesmaids will come in about a month before and so far no one is coming because I haven't done the invitations yet! OH is away witht he Army until 3 weeks before the wedding so we had to get as...

To be honest, I'm finding it ok. Compared to Slimming World which I was used to before, I eat a LOT less but then I guess that that's why it wasn't working for me. I should drink more water than I do but I am a diet coke fiend. I can have up to 6 cans a day :eek: I know there's no points in it...

Hi Chelley, I get married 10 days after you. 13th October. I actually cannot wait. Fingers crossed for the weather for both of us. It didn't bother me when we booked it but seeing how it's been the last couple of days, I'd love it to be warm. It makes everyone so much happier :) I got...

I think it's lovely Jaly. Gorgeous colour and come Autumn it'll be lovely, not too summery and not too cold. My bridesmaids dresses are called Cayman Blue which is like a dark navy. I love them so much I wish I could wear one myself :)

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend in the sunshine. Weather like this makes me so glad I started to lose weight in the first place. Shorts, pretty tops and not having to cover myself with a cardigan. It's also a really great excuse for eating salads and snacking on lots of lovely fresh...

Checking in with a 1.5 lb loss today. 18.5 lbs and 19 weeks to go!

Thanks both of you. Had WI tonight and lost 1.5lbs. Although it was my first week and a lot of people lose more, I was already in healthy eating mode before I started so really wasn't expecting miracles. I'm really quite pleased because I wanted a pound a week for 20 weeks and at least this...

Sounds like you've got it sussed Sin. Let me know how you get on at WI this week. I weigh on a Thursday too. I also write everything down on my tracker so if something doesn't work, I can go straight to my leader for advice. I like having someone or something to blame if it goes wrong so to...

Do you write everything down sin? Do you have a diary? It really, really helps. Also, my biggest tip is drink water. If I'm hungry, WATER. Everything is water! I know how important it is to want to look your best for special occasions so although I probably can't help much with the plan...

Hi there, hope you don't mind if I muscle in on your thread. I'm a Thursday weigher and first WI will be this week. Am not expecting a massive loss to be honest as I've been eating healthily since June last year (SW) and it's not as if eating on plan will be a massive shock to the system. I'd...

Thank you very much. I am pretty driven for it to be honest. Playing about with the plan (be it this one or SW) is only cheating myself out of the weight losses I deserve and £5+ a week! We're spending a lot of money on our wedding photographer and I want to love the photos, not look back...

Hello fellow WW's. I'm on wedding countdown and I have a measley 20lbs to lose in a maximum of 20 weeks. I need a pound a week and I need to lose the inches. In fact the inches are the most important bits to me, always have been. I'm an Ex Slimming World-er but I think I abused the system and...

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well and enjoying your lunch :) I'm not so much a newbie, I've been around Mini's for almost a year but I'm a newbie WW and I wondered if you experts wouldn't mind passing a little of your advice to me please. A brief background. I lost 3.5st on points in...

Hello my love! :) Thanks for that. I hope you're well. I'll have a scooch over to your diary in a bit and see how you're doing. Personally, everything is fine. I gained 3 weeks running for no massive reason and since then fell off spectacularly. I'm now weighing a stone less that I was...

You remember when you were at school and the boys used to pull the girls pig tails? This is the same thing. By the way, Queen is the best band in the world!

I KNEW it!! For ages I've read your posts thinking we're doing practically the same job.

I was trying to lose weight 6 months before H2B even proposed. Since the proposal (in fact 2 months before that!) I have gained and lost the same three pounds over and over again. I've not got a lot to lose admittedly but there's still an amount of weight to go, currently about a stone and a...

Do you work in computer hardware sales? I swear your gripes are identical to mine!

Holly Willoughby. Classic beauty.

I haven't bitten my nails today. First day since I can ever remember. I hate it, I know it's disgusting and germy and toilet seats etc. and my hands look a state so I've bought the manky nail stuff and it's quite revolting. Bring on the lucious talons and expensive manicures!

Okidoke. So, we've had Kim's funeral now. That was a tough day, very emotional but also very beautiful. She'd have loved it in the pub afterwards. I statyed the same again last week. Consultant has realised I've obviously plateau'd after messing for what is now 7 months with the same...

DYJHIW you've been a total lazy bum for the last however long and used the same password for everything. iTunes, Minis, Amazon, Play, eBay, SW. Even my work sign ins! Everything except banking. I'll see you all in about a week after I've changed them all!!

Not sad at all. My fella has his fuel licence and was used last time so he's fully expecting a call. I think he's gorgeous but some would argue. Some of his mates mind you (especially the PTI's) SWOON!! I'd pay extra for attended service!! ;)

Hi Annya, Thanks for asking. I’m ok ta. Very ok. Got Kim’s funeral on Friday. Dread isn’t the word. If I could forgive myself for not going, I wouldn’t go. It’s been hanging over us all for near on 6 weeks now and we’ve just sorted the flowers. All the girls have come together and...

Water poisoning. It's the same as what happened to Leah Betts. It's not normally the ecstacy that kills people. It can happen without taking ecstacy too. Just excessive water consumption. Don't think 15 points would do it but I'm no doctor. I agree with whoever said it, littlewelshgirl...

It's a running joke in my office that I have a £4 a day coke habit! Definitely only the Diet variety though. Also, If you're worried about diet coke slowing down your weight loss, I'd maybe think that the water was causing and slowness. 15 pints? You're kidding, right? If the research is...

I've been following the plan since June, I had 2 weeks off for my holiday in September and 4 or 5 days off for Christmas and New Year. My biggest loss has been 4lbs which immediatly went back on the next week. In my first week I lost 1.5lbs, second week 1lb. In over 9 months I've lost a stone...

Hi June, I was just playing with you. When I wrote that, your stats in the left hand column said you wanted to get to a final goal weight of 3 and a half stone!! I see you've changed them now so it makes much more sense. Totally doable and very sensible. :) Hels

Hi June, If you have a look in the SW teams thread, there's loads of seperate sections catering for pretty much every type of loser, red day, green day, exercise teams, wedding/prgnancy teams, holiday ones. Also, starting a diary (food or otherwise) in the diaries sections is a good way to...

Right, let’s try and see if I can remember the weekend and week so far! I’ve been quite happily plodding along, Saturday was a bit risqué but I can make up for that! Not feeling like I’ve shifted an ounce but scales this morning showed a 2lb loss so far so fingers crossed. Saturday – I...

We could have LMFAO/Ed Sheeran/Adele/Insert popular singer here* singing our Eurovision Song and it wouldn't win! It's nothing to do with Music, Songs, Performances. It's all political, it always has been and always will be and I LOVE it. Every year we sit as a family and watch and mark each...

Hello all. It's been a while. I've been lurking this whole time, reading your trials and tribulations, and occasional joys! I decided not to post because quite frankly, I'm not in the slow loser category anymore. I'm going to start my own massive gainer thread! Back to just a stone now but...

I'm baaaaaaack!! Dinnema was lovely on Tuesday. Had grilled chicken breast with pilau rice and salad, no dessert, shared a (not so great) starter with my friend Lu. Back on plan all of Wednesday and all of today and I'm going to gain again, I KNOW I am. WI in about 15 minutes. I feel...

Thank you for posting this. It's just totally affected my day in the best way. You look incredible. Well done you. Reckon you can make a couple of pencil skirts out of them trousers now! ;)

Thanks, honey. Mike and I share the same stupid humour. If something really tickles me I have a really LOUD, raucous laugh that really embarrasses me. Mike takes it upon himself to make me laugh like this all the time so everyone looks at me. Resturants, cinema, queueing in the Supermarket...

I mix a teaspoon in with my scrambled eggs and mushrooms. There's a thread here somewhere called "Marmite Potatoes" which are just SW roasties but coated in marmite first. I hated it up until about 3 years ago when I craved it after a hangover. Now, I can sit with a jar and a bag of...

Well, my lent diary died of death after a week!! I wasn't able to write down what I was having at every opportunity so it's now completely left my head. I know I wasn't too bad though. Had about 5 vodkas on Friday at Glens Party and a jacket potato without butter, a table spoon of chicken...

Thanks, Annya. No need to be sorry though. I know by now that any deviation from plan will cause gain. It's fine. I'm geared up for mega loss next week. Am singing at my friends 30th tonight and am saving all my syns for vodka. I might even go over. Ten syns worth on top shouldn't hurt right...

Weigh in last night brought me a wonderful 2lbs on. I'm happy I suppose. I wasn't on plan for the whole time, mainly for the day but off in the evening. Not chocolate binging or excessive stuff, just whatever Mum was cooking for the rest of the family. It wasn't as bad as the 4lbs I thought it...

You're kidding. Paranormal activity is a cartoon in comparison.

STOP WATCHING IMMEDIATELY. Just trust me. I saw it in the cinema and will never watch it again, let alone by myself. Worst film I've ever seen. Grown men walked out. Don't say I didn't warn you!

If it helps, I just got a massive wedge of Honeydew Melon for 50P from Morrisons. A half was £1.

I've been keeping a paper diary this week. I text my consultant on Tuesday and told her that I'm going to be recording absolutely everything that I eat and drink. It's a 100% HONEST food diary. If I cheat, I'm only cheating myself, there's no point at all. I've set up a little exercise book...

I did a similar thing. I went round the shop picking out what I thought I wanted and looked at one the caught my eye and put it back, walked around again and the same one caught my eye so I put it back again. The fourth time it happened I thought it was obviously trying to say something to me so...

Friday 17th Feb - Rainbow Day 1 x Krispy Kreme Doughnut. The end!!! AND it was bloody lovely. I'll regret it later but right now, it's amazing!

Thank you, Annya. Appreciate the hugs. :) I'm just so frustrated about it all. She'd had the accident in December, survived it all against the odds, had the brain scans saying there was nothing there and no response, right up to up to last week when she was miraculously reading flash cards...

I always said I wanted the little fibre optic lights in my flowers a la the end of Bridget Jones but then I changed my mind. I love the idea of diamontes in each rose but I have none on my dress so I've gone for pearls now instead. Might still change my mind about them but think they'll go with...

They're gorgeous. Clever you. Love that you can customise an entire outfit with them. Lovely.

I used to have the opening bars of We Built This City by Starship. Loved that song and always used to motivate me. Now I'm sick of hearing it and it totally desensitised the whole song.

A girl I know made hers out of beads and buttons. Looked amazing. Still see if I can find a pic.

I'm having roses and gerberas too. With blue eryngium although I'm still not sure about that. Anyone have it in their bouquet? Gerbs are my favourite and come in exactly the colour I want.

...you've just has a really crap lunch. I had to use up a bag of vegetables but I'm at work so haven't got much in to have with it. Carrots, broccoli and cauliflower steamed in the microwave with salt and pepper on. MMMMMMM, Gordon Ramsey, eat your heart out!!! *writes note to at LEAST buy...

Leakage? What is going to leak? You mean like bits of green stuff from the stalks? (I'm sure that's not the scientific wording!)

Thank you, Will. xx

It was me, thank you.

....personally, I like these for my FG! Except the waist band will be midnight blue. ...did that help? Do be doooooooooo

Slimming World is the farthest thing from my mind right now. My beautiful friend Kim passed away last night. Rest in peace, gorgeous girl. I will miss you and think of you always.

I understand completely. I am petrified of seeing someone in the same dress as mine before me. Afterwards, no problem! Mine is a 2012 collection one and I'm so not the sort of person to be "on trend". I've never seen anyone in one like it though so hopefully, everyone else things it's horrible!

Beautiful. Very delicate and feminine. Thanks for posting.

I'd love to have the imagination to create a bespoke dress. I didn't know what I wanted, I never had the dream. I just knew what I didn't want and now I've found the one, it's everything I didn't dream of!

If I demand Thelma, does it cost £5k more? I am so jealous you've got that team. My friend Nic has too. I'm going to a thelma dress wedding!

I did. I gotta get me a cat dress. Can you get me Thelma's number?

I love that there are so many different styles and each one suits each person. Everyone looks beautiful in their dresses and there's not one the same, even similar. I've also got loads of inspiration from this for my bouquets so please keep posting pictures. :)

..as Bad Harry in Love Actually. Guilty pleasure.

My ring tone is the Harry Potter theme, my message is either Mad Eye Moody's Avada Kedavra, Snape's Expelliarmus or Keith Lemon Shhhaaaaaating! Geeeeeeeeeeeek. :)

Jesus, WELL DONE losers. Which part of slow don't you girls understand?! I'll have two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen with a slice please. Make it large! *insert party smilie here - I'm using my phone*

I have too much fun with these people. Asking them which one of my computers is failing, the windows 98 one? Oh really? I don't have one, oh you mean the vista one? Oh ok, I'll turn it on. Oh sorry, the battery has died. Telling them you only have Macs normally shuts them up!

I'm not selling, I'm trying to buy. I've been saving for a deposit for 7 years so I've got 30% now which makes me a lot luckier than other people trying to buy. However, the prices of houses around here are incredible. Watching the market in the last year, prices are falling all over the...

We've got 13th too. October. Probably why it was available. On cost saving exercises, my friend married on 11 September. No one wanted it, they couldn't sell it and they got a castle in italy for a cut down bargain cost.

We didn't pick a date either. We just went with a date that was free for the church and the reception. We knew we wanted this year and OH is deployed May-September so it had to be after. First date that was free, we took!

Saturday and Sunday were on plan, But I did have an 18 syn Subway and 3 Vodka Diet Cokes on Saturday so that’s probably blown me out of the water this week. Not forgetting my medicine. It should be clearing me out but seems to be working quite the opposite! Tried red all last week and managed a...

Congratulations. And now that's done... welcome to the world of being more skint than your wildest dreams!!! ;)

If you're eating scan bran, over compensate with water. Buckets and buckets of it. It should help. Good luck.

Ooh, ooh a wedding thread. I'm getting married in October. Proposed to in December and within 2 weeks, we'd booked and chosen almost everything. Only things left to do are bridesmaids, cake and cars. Best quote we've had on cars so far has been £650 for a Mercedes and a people carrier. I mean...

Hey Kim. Welcome to our world. You'll fit in a treat. :) I had a kfc, a burger king, 5 bottles of wine and lost a stone! Did I eck. I had a salad and put on a pound. That's how we roll!

Good luck, Lou. Hope the weather is kind for you :)

Again, delighted for you Annya. Finally a loss to be proud of. Enjoy your week on the naughty step. Maybe you get a million lines and be the first to deserve the three week punishment. Go girl :)

This one is me in June 2008, half a stone below target. Reckon about my target weight give or take a pound or two. I got so many compliments when I was like this, I can't understand how I ever let myself go back to 12 stone.

This is me before. I joined WW 4 months after this at 13 stone. That's my ex I'm with. I wad so self conscious then hence the left hand over my tummy trying to cover myself up. All of the photos I have of this time are the same.

Wow, that sounds awesome! Please post a picture, I'd love to see it. I'm going a bit more traditional but I'm not having strapless. EVERY dress in the shop is strapless and all of the weddings I've been to in the last ten years have had strapless dresses. I do like them and on most people they...

Thanks Annya. I'm so glad to have 2 losses in a row. First time since November!! I know it's only going to get tougher now the closer I get but I do have the added incentive of our wedding to help push me there. I think I'm going to lower my target to be honest but I'm just waiting for me...

Had weigh in last night. Lost 0.5lbs. Measley really for the work put in but I can’t really complain if I had the night out on Friday, regardless of the healthy choices I made. I’m pleased that I didn’t gain the same 2.5lbs back that I’d kept doing the last 4 or so weeks so I’ve broken that...

Sainsbury's had 2 x 1.5kg dumbbell set for £ 2.99, reduced from £11.99.

It's like it's the same person!! We can sit and watch telly, next thing I know I've got a hand on my boob! It works in my favour though. Give him a flash now and then, I get bought dinner! ;)

Run out of narna's! It was actually nicer without and filled me up the same and I had less honey so saved a syn too. I know I'm missing my superfree but surely, not eating it would be better than eating it, superfree or not. This is my EE argument. I understand the filling up on SF first with...

See, in the same light I just saw "poo, I only use it to make carrot cake". :)

Hob nobs are pointless tea dunking biscuits. One dip and it's sucked up your whole mug! On the subject of tea straws, Cadbury's Spira were awesome for that. Haven't seen them for years.

Hi, Don't think I've posted in this thread anywhere yet (although I know I have in poo threads before). Just wanted to share something with you all that maybe you've heard before, maybe you haven't. I've been doing SW since June 2011 so just over 7 months. I've always had IBS, can go anywhere...

Not even cadbury's chocolate fingers?

If you take a scan through the whole thread (which could take a while!), it's discussed about 4 times. General premise seems to be synned as snacks, free if incorporated as part of a meal. I think most people, myself included will have them as an accompaniment to soups or as a cobbler topping...

McD's bbq sauce on toast but I don't even think that's weird. It's more the law.

It was Annya, and so filling too. If I could get away with (and afford) it every day, I'd have it. Could've done with more SF, maybe some tomatoes too. Next time...

Great news, congratulations. I'll be joining you in October! :)

...you've spent over a year building up points on your subway card only for the stupid woman in the Colchester branch to give you the wrong card back. Then when you ask politely for the correct card, she gets all aggressive and throws you out of the shop! Card frozen and points suspended so...

Cottage cheese also! Love my predictor :)

I thought about using courage cheese with pineapple but thigh the potato wouldn't work with it. Let us know if you try it please.

Quite a self explanatory one here too. My Name is Helen, I get called Hels a lot. HelsAngel is just a play on Hells Angel. My nicks are either this, HelenBack or HelenHighWater.

I can't believe I've got 9 months to go and the only things we needed to do are cars, cake, bridesmaids and get skinny!

I'll be the second then! Hangover essentials!

Reet-ooo Meal out was lovely on Friday, straight back on Saturday morning, drank about 5 pints of squash to try and combat any salt intake and dehydration from the wine. Went out Saturday night and drank again but not an obscene amount. About 4 vodka diets so acceptable. Sunday was travelling...

I count them as one syn if I have them as a snack on green but I don't add any extra hard cheese. On red, I'd probably count as the same but to be honest, I'd personally avoid them on a red day anyway. Going to try them next week with black pepper cottage cheese and finely chopped jalapenos.

My sw target line reappeared this week. I'm now due to get to target sometime in May..... 2014!! Jolly good!

Hello. I'm about to use this for the first time. Does anyone know if I remove the leaves from the stems our do I leave them in and cook all together? I'm boiling it. Thanks in advance.

Friday 3rd February - Nothing day I'm out tonight and it's going to go to pot so I thought rather than follow a plan, I'd do a sort of EE day but won't count tonight. I'm having a night off. One night. It will probably kill me but I plan on working extra hard, I'm going to go the rest of...

Dear Boss, why are you in the office today sitting behind me and staring at my monitor? I'm having to do work and not look at Mini's and frankly, that's not acceptable! Can't you go into a meeting or something? Your oh so dedicated (obviously) assistant!

Hugs, Flabulous. As long as you're happy with your decision. Plenty of people follow the plan from home and are successful. And like we all say, we're here for each other. More hugs. :)

Aww, thank you for thinking of me. As predicted the same 2.5lbs off. I'm delighted with it but at the same time slightly peeved that it's just the same 2.5 that I undeservedly put on last week. I'm determined not to let it go on again so will be mixing it all up this week. Some reds, some...

Thanks, my love. Feeling good this week too except for my bloaty pre WI tummy. Happens every week and I can never "go" on a wednesday or thursday. Pain in the ass, no pun intended! I was looking at the tinned fish earlier in Morrisons thinking I could make a mashed fish salad thing with...

Morrisons had sunflower oil fry light for £1.30. Get this months ELLE magazine for £3.90 and get a free Soap and Glory mascara worth a tenner. I've just put it on and it's really good. Rivals my Bodyshop one which was about £14!

Aww Cleogin, I’m wishing you all the very best. This seems very final and I don’t want you to disappear. You’re still part of the online community of awesome slow losers so like the others say, regardless of the plan you’re following, don’t leave completely. To back up what Annya said, I’m...

Ahhh, thanks. Mike's best man is a scouser. I can't wait for the speech. He's from Huyton so he sounds like Steven Gerrard. Shame he doesn't look like him!

I wish I was. I could listen to scousers ALL day long. Sometimes I even phone University of Liverpool rather than email them just to listen to them talking! If anyone wants to call me just to talk to me, I'd happily oblige! ;) In Helen news, I had a great day today. Bought my wedding dress...

Worst is over now, Bev. Downhill (in a good way) from today. :)

Well done, girlies. Take the rough with the smooth. Ok, a little story for you ALL to bear in mind. Most of us, if not all are serial weighers. I've been better recently than in the past but I'm still quite bad. I just weighed myself before my bath (yes I'm in the bath now!) and my scales...

My wii told me I had a BMI of 3.2!! Please take no notice of that as a weighing device!

I think we all know the feeling, Latte. This thread can move so fast at times but I think we all know that we're all here reading if not necessarily posting. Glad you had a good weekend, cocktails are syn free when you drink them on a Saturday night in Manchester. It's the LAW!!

That's exactly right, Annya. I'm a stone less than I was in June. Mike, bless him, keeps calling me skinny because he knows how much I strive for it. I know I look better than I did but it's not how I want to be. It was discussed at group last night that maybe I'm so up/down all the time...

..you know you've got a full day of laptop sales training tomorrow and you need to be wide awake for it but you can't sleep. Also that the vendors doing the training are providing pizza hut for uninterrupted lunch training. Meh.

Well done, Flabulous. For committing to group and for your loss this week. I know what you mean not wanting a big deal about it but credit where it's due. :)

...and an unwanted and unexpected 2.5lb gain here. Exactly what I lost last week. Over the moon obviously! :p

Had WI tonight. Managed to gain the two and a half pounds I lost last week. True Helen style. Really pissed off to be honest but will not lose my way. So, one stone lost. Same weight as 9th September 11. Brilliant work!

Tell us about it. We're all the same. Looks like you'll fit in a treat.

Last few?! Heh, the first few were bad enough! It's great, Kerry. By a million miles, the best thread in the whole forum. However, if you go and lose them last 6 in a week I'm never taking to you again. Deal?!

Absolutely, Annya. Thanks. :) I notice already, we've had the same breakfast near enough!

Congrats, Fred. Lovely news.

Right, No messing. I'm on plan. I'm getting to target and I'm going to update this EVERY day with every single thing that I eat and drink. Starting now.... Target by June. 18lbs to go. Urgh. Thursday 26th January - I think it's going to be RED or EE cause I fancy some tuna! Healthy A -...

It absolutely does, Annya. It's such a terrible shame that so many peoples lives are affected by horrible illnesses and afflictions. When we first heard about the accident, we only heard that Kim was suffering with a broken leg and we all laughed that she was going to furious not to able to...

It's an amazing thing to say you've done with your life. Hats off :)

No one really seems to know, Felicity. Originally it was epilepsy and her "coma" was drug induced so they could operate on her broken leg and stop any further fitting, then she never came out of it. They did a scan just after New Year and they said that she's not "locked in" which we all took...

You're right, it doesn't make sense because I didn't explain that she starts work half an hour after I do and because I was driving her in, I got to start late too! Not anymore...

...you've been picking your friend up for work for 4 months allowing you an extra 15 minutes in bed because she's not driving, only to get a text message saying she's ok to drive and you've got to be in work normal time again FOREVER! Total bummer.

My friend was prescribed metformin for her PCOS but again, she was diagnosed years ago. Hope you get it sorted out soon, Lou. Sounds like you're having a hell of a time. Once again, apologies for not posting much. It's not that I'm not supporting, just that I've got so much on right now. My...

Thanks. I didn't take the dress though. It was horrid!!

Victory indeed! Nice one :)

Went to a bridal exhibition tonight and tried on a dress then got called "tiny" by the assistant. Ok she was probably only trying to make me buy the dress but I'm taking it anyway!

I bought my first hifi bars at group on thursday and my pains etc. were on Tuesday but have just started having fibre plus bars so that's worth thinking about definitely. I think it was just a bug and ibs though. I'm normally the other end, constipation, bloated rather than regular visits. Like...

I feel exactly the same fabulous. Exactly the same. Yes I lost this week but I had 3 weeks of consecutive gains and I was ill for a good as 2 days. I know I'm not the only one who feels like this either. One week it's up, one week it's down. I can't fathom if I'm going to lose or not. Right now...

Yeah, can I still revel in a loss which was pretty much caused by crippling stomach ache and one million trips to the loo in 24 hours?! Still, I managed to up my water intake at least!

Annya, I remember a time when 1lb meant the norty step! Don't knock it. It's still awesome.

Hello Lucy and welcome. Haven't got long to post as my boss is behind me but reporting a 2.5lb loss this week. Mainly due to an upset tummy but I'll take it and run. Like a car bonnet.... ;) Naughty step? Where for art thou?

Which is often the best way to see it. It's so difficult to show support when you can't empathise but watching things like Our War documentary with Mike and him explaining and talking through exactly what happens and how it is, helped me understand so much more. He's been to afghan and I'm so...

5 slices. If you ever manage 5 packs, don't ever be more than one metre away from the loo!

...and another. Try and wedge a teaspoon under the rim, only the tiniest amount will work and stop the suction. Marmite jars are the bane if my life though and they hurt so bad.

My man deploys in May until September. Not too long, except we marry in October so the 5 months he's away, I'll have to not gain anything for my dress fitting and also arrange everything alone. Luckily he's not deploying far at all, he'll still be in this country so I don't have to worry about...

I always blitz mine. I use 3 eggs too but I use a tub of cottage cheese and 100g of mash powder. Has anyone tried it with a cottage cheese that isn't onion and chive? I was thinking about regular or maybe the pepper one?

Great stuff :) You know for slow losers, you lot aren't very slow! Great to see some positivity back after the few weeks of gloom we all had. Keep it up, tortoises.

Dare I jinx myself and say I can feel it?! At least a 2lber!

Well done, losers. Can't believe you're having a party on the step without me! Come Thursday I'm on it like a car bonnet! Great work girlies. Same again next week!

Cleogin, wallow in it sweetie, well done. It gives us all a little hope that next week, it could be us. I see your 3lbs and I raise you.... (tell you thursday!)

Love this but it's so sad too. Going back to my NSV about my new engagement ring, it was resized to a K before I knew I was getting it and the lady in the shop said to fella that it couldn't be a K as it's very small. The K was massive and this week I've had my replacement through, fits...

I can't believe the massively sh1t time we're all having. I'm so sorry for all of you lovely ladies. It really is a pain in the bum. I hope you all get better soon. Funnily enough I was talking only the other day with my friend who suffers from PCOS about my slow losing tendancies and she...

Right, I'm binging this afternoon...on lettuce!

I hope you're feeling better today, Latte :)

And me, Annya. 1lb on. Closely followed by a lady weighing in straight after me losing 11lbs!!!!! I deserve an oscar for the performance I gave. Wanted to wallop her with my book! So, just over 6 months, 1 stone lost and three weeks of consecutive gains. Why am I even still trying to do...

Hello, 13th October wedding here. Booked the church, looking at venues this week. SO excited.

Hello!! Great idea for a thread. Our own little WAG community. I'd love to join you. My Fiance is in the Army and I don't really have anyone who understands the commitment he makes and in turn how it affects me and the rest of the family. I look forward to hearing all about how we all deal...

Ok, so the 100% day could've been better. I went to the cinema last night and had some Maltesers. Not loads, not a whole bag, about 10-15. Still reckon I was within syns but had I not have had them, I'd be better off. I haven't had a whole week off plan. I actually tried and still eaten...

Hi Elaine, it's not free but it can be used as a healthy extra.

Morrisons have fibre plus bars. £1.98. BOGOF.

Naughty step? Banished to the naughty seclusion room I reckon. Well done, Jenny. Excellent loss! :)

I hear ya, sister!

Twice? WOW, you must be either nuts or very motivated. Do you find it makes much of a difference? I'm thinking I'm going to feel it and see it "on me" rather than on the scales. I've taken all my measurements so will re-measure if I manage to complete it. I hear Level 2 is not for the faint...

Brilliant, Lou. Slow losers scales amnesty. Anyone else? Just a week to start...

Thanks, Cleogin. Got shred for xmas, left if for new year, did day one last week and couldn't even put my coat on the next day, I was a wreck. Had to brush my teeth by moving my head rather than the toothbrush! Picked it up again last night and loved it. It still killed me but I HAVE too do it...

It's all about water, Saidan. Something to do with muscles holding on to it, needing, some technical jargon. If you're exercising, keep your fluids up more than normal. I've just started "30 day shredd"ing and afterwards I downed a whole pint of water in about 20 seconds and another one 5...

Right girls (and occasional boys) I have lost the plot. Like Pomme said, Christmas has ruined me. I can't get back on. Had a 100% day today until family meal time when I had my red day and a massive bowl of chips came out for the others. I said out loud "I don't want them". I didn't want them, I...

In fact, there are varying receipes for this. I only use 1 pepper, not three and a don't use the split lentils and I also use any flavour of stock I have in at the time.

Sorry, don't know why it didn't work. I made it out to be just over a fiver to make if you use value everything and let's face it, it's all getting mushed up anyway so it doesn't matter! Made 5 very large portions but would easily stretch to more if you wanted it thinner. can mixed bean...

Hello everyone. Just wanted to come by and say to Annya that you're not a billy by any stretch. I'm right here with you with no chance of the naughty step. My last 5 weeks are like this. 4.5lbs off 4lbs on 3lbs off 3lbs on 1.5lb on. I mean have you EVER seen yo-yoing like it? Being...

This is the recipe I use. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/135012-super-speed-soup.html I blend it all up to a thick paste and have it as a soup or sometimes for a more substantial meal, I have it with pasta. If it's too thick I add some passata to thin it out a bit and last...

6 pack Diet Pepsi £1.39 at Lidl yesterday.

Happy new year gorgeous slow losers. I've just finished working and have come straight here to wish you all a year full of love, luck, happiness and good health. This is my target year. I hope it's yours too. (as soon as I can get back on it!) Thank you all for the support in 2011. Come on...

Thank you :) I've got a little bit of fabric plaster round the bottom at the moment. At least it's an incentive to stay at target.

My first NSV for absolutely AGES! Last night my wonderful, gorgeous boyfriend proposed to me with the most beautiful diamond ring. I'd been sized in July and he got it absolutely spot on. Except now I'm smaller, my ring finger has shrunk and it's too big!! I'm so happy but I could cry...

Don't ask me, Lou. I put on 4 last week! ;) Enjoy your off plan time.

We all know how it feels to lose slowly. If you look at my signature, you can see that in September and October I actually gained over both months although I've only had about 5 gains altogether! December's not looking all that amazing either. In 29 weeks (Just under 7 months) I've lost...

Thanks, girls. I'm so lucky this far in my life to have never had to face this kind of situation before. I don't really know what to do or say for anyone but just 'be there'. I went to see her yesterday and she's breathing by herself and opening her eyes which implies brain activity at least...

Thanks, girls. To be honest, weight loss and SW is miles from my mind. One of my best friends was involved in a car accident on Monday and is critically ill in a coma. Suddenly, being a little bit overweight and not fitting in a dress seems so trivial in the grand scheme of things. Not to say...

Hi guys, I've missed you! Sorry I've not been about. Having a torrid time of it at the moment. In brief, I lost 4.5lbs last week. I know, something weird happened. I didn't shout about it because it was undeserved and I knew it wasn't real (although I did update my stats). This week just gone...

Mine would be nachos. Loaded with salsa, guacamole, soured cream, grated cheese, jalapenos and chicken strips. All day, every day.

Available now. Was offered 2 for £1 on Saturday night (not that I went to McD's of course! ;) )

...you pop over to the "Don't you just love it" thread to get a bit of positive cheer and loads of people are celebrating tax returns and you haven't got one! Yes I am bitter and jealous!

Was Kelly singing? I thought it was just an aerobics video!

Sorry, I've built another one. Get on it! Well done Woodlandgirl.

Sorry I scorched your bum, Annya. I was so moody I forgot you were sitting there. No idea why I gained that much. I did have my xmas meal on Thursday night last week so I guess it HAD to be that. My consultant in Image Therapy was talking to a lady behind me saying how "one bad meal out of 21...

I gained 1.5 lbs tonight which is just blooming marvellous. So in the last 3 weeks I've actually gained 0.5lbs despite losing 3lbs last week. I've just set fire to the naughty step in rebellion!

Well done Wolfie. When you work out how to sort it out, make sure you come and tell us! God knows what's going on with me this week. It would appear my loss last week is punishing me!

Well done on your half HG. Think how bad it could've been if you'd have come off plan. The best thing is that you can stick to it even with disappointment. Can you change groups at all? Consultant doesn't sound like one if the best at all. I wish I could bring you to my group. Giving up...

Occasionally they pop up on a BOGOF. Other than that, I totally agree.

I was going to say exactly this. 5 of the Light ones is a HEX A as well and they taste so much nicer. I find the purple ones a little transparent but the light blue ones taste so much creamier. I have mine mixed into instant mash, on toast, dropped in spaghetti hoops and beans, on a jacket...

Good luck tonight, Lou. You know by now that however you feel doesn't actually have any bearing whatsoever on what you've lost or gained. It'll be what it'll be but if you're in the right frame of mind, that's the best you can do. So you had a problem at the weekend but you clawed your way...
