Big hugs tigger. You'll get there, just think how scrummy you'll feel next week when the bloaty rubbishness subsides. You'll do fantastically this week!

Thanks Catkin! I feel so much more comfortable doing this online. You guys are great! Good luck this week. My loss was 4 llbs this week (though there's a cheeky 5th lb there scales just decided that way this morning!) Thanks for replying Kirstles x

Hey guys...Newly in the 21s Hi all I've just hit the 21s. 21 st 13 lb as of this morning. Hope you're all good, be nice to have some company on this stretch. I'm really impressed with how everyone is doing. Big hugs and hope to chat with you all at some point. Kirstles

Hi all Well done on your losses this week, very inspired by you all! I'm a newbie to the weigh in thought I'd have a quick read through of how everyone was doing this week. I find that when I've gone into a dieting phase the same things have happened to me i.e. I lose well in the first...

I find that the longer I leave them after parboiling and the dryer they get the crisper and nicer the chips! I always had problems before I had a fan assisted oven as well! Kirstles

Hi all Been off for about 6 months and have increased my weight by a further 6 pounds, on top of what I lost originally but I've been on it for a couple of weeks and know I've been doing alright. I'm trying more food planning to try and be a bit more organised...So here goes: - Sunday...

Hi all Thought I would say hello. Been doing the diet again for a few weeks and thought that rather than lurking on the MINImins forums I should get on with it and participate. Thanks for everyone's indirect support so far, you're all inspirations! Kirstles

Hugs hon and I hope that Doc gets you feeling right as rain xxx

Hey hon SF foods do seem to be helping somewhat but I think I was in a bit of a rut last week generally so onwards and upwards. I tend to eat basmati rice, I'll do a big pot of it when I do it and then keep the leftovers for stir frys etc. Breakfast Nothing, naughty I know but I was...

BAD DAY Right pretty much everyday has been bad for a week...Nah uh, no more. BAD badness... Tomorrow is a good day. Iambe

No loss this week but that's OK I stayed the same this week. That is ok by me, staying the same isn't a gain. I want to lose more, I know that but I need to be realistic about what I want to achieve here. If it takes a long time then the end result will be a fantastic treat for me. I know...

Saturday lusciousness Hi Roziee I've felt a bit worried about the amount that I've been eating because I wasn't experiencing what I thought was an appropriate loss. I think that's directly contributed to the desires to do bad things. I think my loss ambitions may have been too lofty which...

Good bad days! Friday.... Thank the gods it's Friday... It was a cool day today actually. I ate loads of fruit during the day at work and resisted the offers of malted milk creams which was truly badass of me but I knew I was going out for Friday pub day with LMJ in the evening. Breakfast...

Wow this looks gorgeous. Can't wait to try it. Iambe

That's brilliant Hiekel. It's all steps in the right direction and you're doing so well. ColJack...YAY you! It's so good to see you guys getting down there. Congrats for everything you're doing and thanks for inspiring us! Iambe

Thursday and giving myself permission OK well I've broken one of the cardinal rules about Slimming World...EAT THE DAMN SYNS you fool. Otherwise you will go entirely overboard and ruin the good work you are doing. Today was not a bad day. I went to the gym tonight and made sure that I did a...

Hi everyone I'm in the 20s now. I was trying to find a 20s group but mod has pointed this group out to another user! I went into the 20s on Sunday and I was sooooooo pleased. I am so looking forward to getting into the 19s but I'm just really glad I got under the 21. So tired of...

Wednesday and willpower OK so today was not a good day. It was in fact a really bad day but I am not going to let that get in my way. I'm going to prove to myself that one little obstacle doesn't stop me doing what I ought to be doing and in fact this obstacle has been a blessing...

Finding your diary v inspiring thanks for sharing. xxx

HELP??!? TUESDAY Back to work today and oh dear I very nearly had a very bad day. I decided not to go to the gym because I didn't have a £1 coin and I couldn't be bothered to run around getting change. This decision not to go to the gym however resulted in very naughty thoughts about going...

Hi All I'm starting a food diary on here as of today. I'm really enjoying what I've been doing on Slimming World and I love the food I'm eating. I'd really like to have some suggestions for other recipes and I'm in awe of everyone's creativity! Monday's Food Breakfast 2 slices of...

Thanks Yes...I'm a Slimming World bod but thanks for the welcome and the invite. Much love Iambe

Hi everyone I started at 21st 8lbs and I've lost 11lbs in the last couple of weeks. My first goal is to get to 19 stone. Once I've done that I'm going to keep going with 10% of body weight targets until it's all gone! I'm currently being sponsored to do Body Magic in terms of x amount of...

Hi everyone Joined Minimins today. Really great to know that I'm in good motivated company! This website is a fantastic resource and I love it! Iambe

Hi Jez I'm a newbie here too. I always have had massive problems with binge eating. Something has changed in me a bit over the last month or so and there is real need and desire in me to treat myself better. Binging for me always came from an emotional root cause and I needed to handle that...

For the last couple of weeks I've been looking for additional support out in cyberspace and MiniMins has come up trumps everytime. Thought it was high time I joined you! Look forward to speaking with you all soon. Iambe
