Wednesday weigh no.3 results are in.... 3lbs loss. My weight is now exactly 21st. 11lbs loss in total. :D

That is incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing. I've jumped straight into the slimming world wagon (again). There's no suitable group near me though so I'm going it alone for the moment. First week I lost 5lbs and my last weigh in I'd lost another 3lbs. Hoping it continues :)

Yay well done WinterWeasley!! That's a great first weigh in :) And welcome to Wednesday club! :D

Wednesday weigh in no.2 and today's weight was.... 21st 3lbs. So another loss! 3lbs off this which means 8lbs altogether. Love this 'diet'. :D

Well done! It really gives you a boost of motivation doesn't it? I feel like I've eaten like a pig this week but it's been all slimming world recipes. The pulled pork is amazing! :)

Well it's my 1st weigh day... Just stepped on the scales and... 21st 6lbs. Loss of 5lbs! :D Very happy with that, long may it continue :)

My problem is my sweet tooth, always at it's worse on a Monday and Tuesday. These days I'm up at 5am and starving by the time I get home at 4pm. I usually end up reaching for Nutella! I don't have spoonfuls or anything, just tiny tidbits but they add up don't they? First weigh in tomorrow. Bit...

Thanks! Maybe I'll join online and have a sneak peek at the new stuff - I can always cancel the subscription I guess but at least I'll have the most up to date values. :)

True haha :)

I've no idea sorry! I'm doing this from home as there are no suitable group times near me unfortunately. :)

Could you share your story please? I'm new here and in need of inspiration. I have lots to lose too... 11stones thereabouts. Would really like to see what you did. I'm under no illusion that this will be easy by the way... it's going to be flipping hard!

Hey everyone, I'm starting my new journey today and therefore I will be having a Wednesday weigh in - anyone want to join me? My backstory: We have just returned from another trip to Disneyland Paris and I am so fed up of telling my children - "Your Daddy will take you on that ride as my bum...

Hi everyone, Due to circumstances I am now looking to lose weight with slimming world at home. The original plan was to go to group but out of the many groups around me - none offer a Friday morning or weekend which is the only times I can go (kids, husband, work...). Is not worth joining...

Has anyone tried this? It says there's only a tesco of fat in it... I bought it yesterday from tesco after overhearing someone raving about how they swear by it. It's gluten free too apparently. Just wondering how many syns?

Nobody? :(

Any ideas? I'm keen to start prepping and freezing my meals so I can just pull them from the freezer and chuck them in the slow cooker to defrost and cook. I've cooked and froze meals before but I'm a bit more lazy now so I fancy just chucking ingredients in a zippy bag and freezing... If you...

That cooked breakfast sounds ace / why have I never thought to cook it that way??? Eyes opened lll

Oops I thought I'd replied to this last week!! I've just got back from my second weigh in... Last week I lost 3lbs and was so disappointed! I'd stuck to it 100%, I expected a better loss. But I soon got over myself and thought, well I'm not carrying that around anymore. This week has been...

So it's weigh in tomorrow. My first at this new group - I'm so nervous! I know I've eaten well and made good choices but I don't feel different or lighter. I don't think I'm supposed to at the early stage but I still can't help but think the scales will stay the same tomorrow. :( I made...

I made the super speed soup yesterday, how tasty! It is officially my go to recipe now. It made a huge pan full yesterday but I'm down to the last few dregs at the bottom already! I just keep snacking on that... Can't be a bad thing can it? There's tonnes of superfree in it! Feeling very full...

My new favourite meal is super speed soup!! I made it for the first time yesterday and I can see me making it every week - absolutely delicious!!!!

Could you help me please - do I need to be in this group or a different one? I rejoined sw this week and weighed in at exactly 20st... Thanks!

Ok I'm back. I have rejoined slimming world after falling off the wagon late last year. I joined a new group too which I hope will be better for me. My weigh day is now Wednesday morning. On Wednesday I weighed in at 20st. :( But I'm not sad about it anymore, I'm using as ammunition for my...

How did you do? It'll come off ya know, it will!! I got my stone award last night after a 3.5lbs loss, slimmer of the week too. Sooo happy!! A whole stone gone in 4 weeks!

Welcome to all newcomers :) It was my weigh in last night...another 3.5lbs off so I have my stone sticker! And I got slimmer of the week too. It was only my 4th weigh this week, not expecting to lose a stone every 4 weeks! That's crazy talk ;) It's such a nice feeling all my clothes are...

3.5lbs off last night. Got my stone sticker :) And slimmer of the week :D Woohoo!!!! Well done everyone xx

Weigh in again last night.... 1.5lbs off. Can't say I'm thrilled as would have like it to be more but at least it's a loss! Told them I'll have 4lbs off by next week. Eeek!! What did I say that for???? :S

Amazing stuff!! Well done xx

Weigh in last night...1.5lbs off. Weight loss so far overall:- 27.5lbs Weight loss while I've been going to group:- 10.5lbs. Gave a mini target of 4lbs this week...if I do that I'll get my stone award!! I'm on it this week! I'm gonna kick some ass :D

Half a pound is just a blip!! Don't fret, back on not an it will be history next week :) xx

I know what baby brain is like haha, hopefully you'll be back here before you know it anyway :)

Well done to everyone :) Welcome to newcomers :) I lost 1.5lbs last night, I'm a bit disappointed it wasn't a bit more but at least it's a loss! I've given my consultant a mini target of 4lbs this week though...eek!! A 3.5lbs loss next week will get me my stone award :D

As you're 19st1lb you should really be in 20 to 19 at the minute but stick around is hopefully you'll be in here on Tuesday anyway!! :) I just moved from 20 to 19 last week. Oh and welcome back!! :D

When you hit 18st or drop into the 17's - that's when we move a room :) x

This one! I'm 18st12lbs and joined this room last week :)

Well done for joining, it's a big first step! Welcome to Tuesday club :)

I saw the jar idea but they'd have to be bloody big jars for me, I've still got 124lbs to lose so a long way to go. I've told myself that when I get my 2st loss sticker I'll get my nails done. 3st sticker I'll get my hair done, 4st sticker new outfit(s), etc. This helps me more cos it...

I can't see that much as I'm having to use the iPhone app. My son spilled my diet coke over the laptop and now it's died a death... Another expense... Mind you, we're due a new one anyway; my son smashed the screen before Christmas so we've been having to hook it up to a tv with a hdmi cable...

Very similar to me (18st 12lbs), we can keep each other company :)

Thank you - looking forward to you guys following too! :D

Woohoo!!! Thanks!! And well done - what a fab loss :)

Thank you :) xx

Weigh in last night....3.5lbs off :) Current weight: 18st 12lbs. Slowly but surely! Also got my half stone sticker, 5lbs to go and I'll get my 1stone sticker :)

Had my weigh in last night and after a 3.5lbs loss I am now 18st 12lbs - do I need this room now please?

Well it was weigh in last night, 3.5lbs off. Do I need a new room now? Got my half stone sticker too! :)

Minky this is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing x

3.5lbs of for me last night. Got my half stone shiny too. 5lbs to go to get my next shiny :) Well done to everyone!! Some great weigh ins this week xx

Welcome to our thread :) Well done on your losses so far, don't they make you feel amazing!!? :) I'm aiming for 10st so still got 9st 1.5lbs to go - I've given myself a loose 2-3yrs target to get it all off. Weigh in tonight...hoping to drop into the 18's. Good luck to everyone!! xxx

Thank you so much, I was over the moon. In fact I got so emotional I had to go and sit down and have a sniffle to myself lol. Its weigh in again tonight, hoping for another emotional loss :). You'll be where you want to be before you know it. One step at a time, I just keep looking towards to...

Oh my goodness!! That's shocking!! I have heard of sample seats, but I wouldn't dare even try them! Looking forward to being slim along with everyone else on this thread and not having to worry about whether I'll fit or not.

I feel like I've wasted the last 6 years by not recognising how big I was and doing something about it, instead I put another 6 stone on. I know it's a different situation but I feel exactly the same!! If I had really looked in the mirror 6yrs ago I would probably be a target by now and being...

Weighed in Tuesday evening - my first official slimming world weigh in too! 5.5lbs off!! Current weight 19st 1.5lbs but it won't stay that high for long now I've got my mojo back :)

Update from me... It was my first official sw weigh in on Tuesday...5.5lbs off!!! I could have stood there and cried many happy tears :) Current weight 19st 1.5lbs xx

Welcome to the thread :) We're all in the same boat, I know exactly how you feel!! We're a friendly bunch here xx

Welcome aboard :) We can all help to keep eachother motivated - I could do with a kick up the ass sometimes! ;)

I'll be your buddy too! This thread is for everyone who needs support from people in the same kind of situation, whatever your reasons for losing weight are. It's a big first step just deciding to go for it.

We can be buddies!! I need to lose about another 9st having lost 1st so far. It's gonna be a long hard slog but we can get there!

I'm not sure why she said that then, but she was the consultant 6yrs ago when I last did SW and I remember her saying the same about maximum number of syns a week then. The only difference back then was she said you could save your syns up for a meal out/night out at the weekend (I never did but...

Thank you! I'll have a look in B&M tomorrow when I'm in town. And maybe I need to have a proper look in Tesco, it was rather half heartedly I looked... :)

I thought you weren't meant to have more than 70 syns a week? I only joined on Tuesday this week but that's what the consultant told me. You must have between 5-15 syns a day but no more than 70 a week.

You can get some of the free ones in home bargains for 39p each. I get them all the time. I only like tomato and basil but there were others, there was definitely chicken but I'm not sure whether that one is free.

1.5syns? That's great! I thought they'd be more than that.

Just subscribing to thread as the suggestions on here are fab!

It's only 70p at Asda ;)

I never thought of putting them in the freezer! Good idea. When I did SW a few years ago I used to chop a curly wurly and pop it into tubs, the into the fridge. 2 syns a tub and it lasted for a while cos they were solid and chewy.

Mmm, these are very yummy! I bet they'd be even nicer dipped and slightly melted in coffee! :)

Wow this is great news! They're only about 40p too aren't they? For four !

I thought this too, sorry! Might be best to ask you consultant to be sure.

Where can you buy these? I've looked in Asda and tesco but haven't seen them yet?

It didn't turn out so nice :( I tried twice as the first time went like rubber - my microwave is 900w and I think a minute was just too long. Second time it looked perfect but tasted like sweet chocolatey scrambled egg. Shame, I had high hopes for this low syn choc pudding!

Erm.....off to make this. Like now!!

This is fab! Thanks for posting it - we're big fans of curries here too so a superfree one would ne awesome!! I think I'll make this for our 'fakeaway' night tomorrow.

Subscribing to thread as we love FF Greek Yoghurt!

So would these be free (using your HexB) if you left out the banana? And if you did use banana, what would the syns be please?

We made this pizza at the weekend knowing it was a tweak and not quite syn free but it didn't matter. It was horrendous and vile! Will not be attempting this again, serves me right really.

And this!! I've never bought the scanbran before - never knew what I was missing. Will make a point of getting some next Tuesday.

Loving the sound of this!

I've made this twice up to now and although it's lovely as a marinade - it's too tangy for dipping (can seriously taste the balsamic). I think I'll probably reduce the amount of balsamic I use next time.

Thanks :) My husband made me go and join the local SW group despite not really having the extra money to go. (Sounds silly whe it's only £5 a week doesn't it?) Anyways...thoroughly enjoyed it - really grateful to my husband for pushing me and supporting me enough to make me go. I was doing bits...

Hi there :) I initially bought the books off ebay too but they ended up being useless really as went and joined and got new ones - waste of money for me. Plus I didn't realise you weren't supposed to sell them anyway until I read the back of the book! Felt like I ought to be sent to the naughty...

Today I've been trying to up the amount of water I drink a day. I've also discovered I like black coffee so now I have options as to what my HExA can be from day today. It doesn't just have to be milk :) This makes me happy because I love cheese now and again! Food Diary: Breakfast - 2 poached...

Well a tiny update. My husband made me go and join my local group last night so now I know what I've been doing wrong... You can only have 1 each of HExA & B - I've been having 2 of each some days but both HExB's everyday!! That'll change now. My consultant is lovely, she welcomed me straight...

It's just disheartening though isn't it? I'm definitely not giving in. I feel so much better in myself by eating better and my kids are picking up better eating habits (which is half the reason I started SW again, I want them to eat better while they're young and pick up good habits. Eg -...

Food diary for today: Breakfast - 2 poached eggs, 2 slices 400g Warburtons wholemeal (HExB), full tin baked beans. (Going for the super speed aspect) No fruit in as we're due a shop so no SF. Strawberry muller light. Lunch - SW chips, chicken breast cubes in syn free BBQ sauce and garden...

Hello :) I'm quite new to this site so please allow me to introduce myself. I'm 28yrs old, married and a mother of 3. My children are 2, 6 and 8. I started Slimming World on 19th Feb 2013. Luckily my husband is loosely following Slimming World too so we're enjoying this together. I don't...

Weighed in this morning and 1lb on. Really have no idea how as I've eaten well, upped the exercise...me and the kids have been walking miles and I've been working hard on the exercise bike too! I just don't get it - I really expecting a good loss this week, not a gain. :(

Thanks, I hope so! I can't see the point in going off track, I'll just get bigger and bigger then won't I? Nope. This eating plan is for life.

1lb on. :( Gutted. I've no idea how because I've not cheated, I've been walking everywhere (literally miles!), I've been hammering away on the exercise bike too. I always stay well within my syns - usually between 5-8 a day depending on what I have for breakfast (eg margarine on toast). I was...

No loss for me this week, but no gain either so I auspice it's not all bad. Still 19st 5lbs.

So I weighed in on Tuesday morning and maintained :( So frustrated!!

That sounds yummy! I would normally just freeze the rest but this is a great idea. I'd never have thought to do chilli lasagne - thanks! :D

Woohoo!! :) Thanks for that :)

Thank you. I just wish it would come off a bit quicker haha. I know in my head any loss is fab! I'm just an impatient twit sometimes :)

Those savoury cheese balls do sound good!!

I think the mini bunnies are only 3.5 though x

Hi Pickle :) We tend to stick to a meal plan, I find it so much easier! I'm currently trying to batch cook loads of meals and put them in the freezer for the husband. I work evenings so he struggles when I'm not there to cook for him as I'm the one who knows the plan...he just follows my lead...

Well done :)

1lb off again this week. Getting frustrated with myself now so will be kicking my arse this week with workouts!!

Thanks!!

You're in the right place :) We can all support each other on our journey to slimness :) xx

We can all do it together! I have a lot to lose too and I don't mind what I lose each week as long as its a loss. I like knowing that I'm getting lighter each week, even just 1lb lighter. It will be worth it. We all know what it's like to be big and we will appreciate being slim all the more...

Believe it or not I don't like cherries at all haha, never mind cherry pie. I used to call my children 'my little cherry pie' when they were tiny and new :) I know what you mean about being in the right place mentally, I'm definitely there! I'm kinda dragging my husband along behind me a little...

Sorry, in brackets it should say 'I'm 28'. No idea where the cool sunglasses came from...

Gazter - Thanks!! I really my life has already changed, well, lifestyle anyway; which is a step on the right path. I've adapted much more easily to the eatin plan this time, the children are enjoying the food, and also my husband who has some weight to shift too. He has Crohn's so I have to...

Zoe - nothing wrong with maintaining... Congrats everyone!

Oooh looking forward to trying those scotch eggs!

Doing these for me on Saturday for our weekend 'fakeaway'. The husband is keen to try SW donner/kebab meat, so I'll be giving that a go too :)

I used it once in lasagne, wouldn't recommend it.... However, I've heard a lot of good things about it being used in cheesecake desserts. I myself am off to buy the ingredients for the cheesecake tomorrow :)

Congrats on the loss!! Wish I went to group and could get awards lol x

I have too many stones to lose! :( I'm 19st 6lbs and aiming to get down to about 10st... But I know I can do it!!

I want to lose weight because I've seen my mum and older sister both have a gastric bypass as recommended by their doctors. Both have not worked satisfactorily and I want to avoid all that drama and surgery by changing my lifestyle now (I'm 28). I also want to yeah my 3 young children (ages...

Hi :) Just wondering if this is the group I should join? I got weighed this morning and I'm now 19st 6lbs. I did post on the 20-19 board. All these boards and categories are a bit of a maze to me! <veryconfusedface> Where should I be? xx

Hello :) May I join please? I'm not going to group as I can't afford it but I go the chemist every Tuesday to 'weigh in'. This morning I weighed 19st 6lbs, which is a loss of 1lb from last week. I started on 19th Feb and have so far lost 1st 3lbs.

I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere...I'm new and haven't quite found my way around yet. I remember seeing in one of the magazines a guide to Easter syns, it has the Lindt bunnies in there and malteaser bunnies and mini eggs etc on it. Does anyone know the syns for these please? I...

our current favourite meal is roast chicken with sw chips and baked beans! I have a feeling that will soon change once I've read through all these recipes!! fab thread!

great thread! Still trying to manage my shopping list to cater for everyone.

Hello :) I have recently decided to give Slimming world another go as I fell off the wagon some years ago... Anyhow. I will be getting weighed every Tuesday at a chemist at the cost of 20p. I would love to go to group but I cannot afford it. Just thought I'd say hi! xx

Hello :) I do my weigh in at the chemist every Tuesday morning. This morning I weighed 19st 6lbs. 1lb off from last week. I have now 1st 3lbs since I started on 19th Feb 2013 :)
