Didn't realise how long it has been since I posted anything here. Anyway, after nearly 15 months I have at least reached my target of 4 stone loss with my BMI down to 27. I can still hardly believe it. :wow: To all those struggling to lose weight, my message is simple, keep at it, slowly slowly...

Haven't posted for a while, here's where i am now. Got my 2 stone award last week I'm delighted and my whole family are over the moon about my progress :) BMI is down to 31.2 now, hopefully below 31 next week. Wk 13: -3.5 lbs Great Wk 14: -2 lbs Great Wk 15: +2.5 lbs ... Oops :sigh: (Was on...

WOW, ermintrude - you've already lost 67 lbs, no need to psyche yourself up, that is incredible :eek:

I'm glad you all enjoyed that :D

Haven't posted here for a while - in fact nobody has posted here for a while so I thought I'd resurrect the thread in case any other males are lurking on the forum :) 11 weeks in SW and I've lost 22 lbs, I'm over the moon and so are my family who were getting really worried about how my weight...

What I like about SW is that if you stick to the plan 100% you will lose weight but even if you stick to it 90% you will still lose weight and if you have a really bad week you just forget about it and carry on :)

Amazing how the mind works, I started at 16 st 10 lbs, now down to 15 stone 2 lbs but I'm thinking about it as "I was heading for 17 stone, now I'm heading for 14 stone" so it feels like I've lost 3 stone instead of 1.5 stone :D

Never posted in this thread before and this will probably be my only time as I hope to be in the 14's next week. Amazing how the mind works, I started at 16 st 10 lbs, now down to 15 stone 2 lbs but I'm thinking about it as "I was heading for 17 stone, now I'm heading for 14 stone" so it feels...

Haven't had time to post here for a while. I'm now up to 22 lbs after 11 weeks, amazing how quickly 2 lbs per week adds up after a while :)

Didn't get posting last few weighins but I've lost 22lbs in 11 weeks, nice steady average of 2lbs per week :)

Hi all, haven't posted for a while but I've been working away in the background - 22lbs so far, I'm delighted :)

Another 2lbs, got my 1.5 stone award plus SOTW for the first time :D Going to try hard this week, 1.5 lbs gets me my Club 10, 2.5 lbs would take me under 15 stone for first time since I can't remember when! Wk 1: 3lbs Did 4.5 :cool: Wk 2: 3 lbs Did 2 - not bad :whistle: Wk 3: 3lbs: Did 2.5 -...

Thanks ladies, haven't been around for a few days so I'm just about to update for last week.

Missed last week's weighin but had 4 lbs this week for 2 weeks so I've split it between the two weeks. Please to be back on track, only 1 lb to my sone and a half, only 3.5 lbs to my 10%. Wk 1: 3lbs Did 4.5 :cool: Wk 2: 3 lbs Did 2 - not bad :whistle: Wk 3: 3lbs: Did 2.5 - 9lbs cumulative...

Was going great up to last week, got my first stone award - 16.5 lbs total - but crap week, by first plus though only half a pound. Still, need to knuckle down again :sigh:

Well done all who've lost, I was grand last week with loss 4.5 lbs and got my first stone award but crap this week, my first plus but only 0.5 lbs :sigh:

Only 1 lb this week, still 2lbs to get my first stone. Was a bit disappointed, to be honest, but by consultant reminded me that I have lost wight every week for the last 6 weeks, 12 lbs total is 2lbs per week average which is very good. That made me feel better plus people starting to notice and...

Oops, I made a mistake last week, it should only have been 1.5 lbs and only 0.5 lbs this week. Due to various I went badly off the rails for 6 days at the end of last week/start of this week so I'm not surprised that I only lost 2lbs over the two weeks. One of the things I learned, however...

Another 2.5 lbs this week; short of my target 12 lbs for by 1/2 lb but that was always an ambitious target and my BMI is down near enough 2 points so I'm really chuffed. Few things on this week including an angiogram tomorrow - boy, will they be pleased at my weight loss :cool: - but I'd love...

I'm just 6 miles up the road from Lifford but originally from Strabane so entitled to claim Norn Iron :)

That's smashing, Katz, I'm delighted for you. What I was essentially saying is just weigh yourself on the same scales at the same time of day and you'll be grand - the weight loss on the doc's scales should be the same as the loss on your own scales.

Apparently you can't. I don't have enough posts to give a link but if you can find my thread title "When Is A Syn Not a Syn?" about a meal I had in Stansted Airport last Saturday, you'll see some discussion about it there - apparently some places cook their jacket potatoes in oil :eek:

And norn iron men too if you don't mind! :8855: P.S. Our SW consultant in Strabane was dead pleased Monday night, total loss for group (40 people) for the week was 56 lbs, her highest ever and gets her an award.

Be careful about that, Kaz, very few scales are calibrated exactly and can easily have differences of several pounds; even applies in hospitals where you would think they would take this seriously - I once had the experience of being weighed in A&E and then being weighed a few hours later on the...

I'm a man who was wondering the same thing, just glad I googled it instead of asking at my group :o

Meant to add, 4.5 lbs off first week so I'm well pleased :)

Hi, great forum here. Quick background – male, 60 in 2 weeks’ time, I have coronary problems, no heart attacks but four stents inserted three and a half years ago, a fifth stent just 15 months ago and I’m having another angiogram is 3 weeks’ time! When I got my first 4 stents, I worked hard...

Donegal here, just saying hello :)

Great article to start this thread, Squiddie, very useful to newbies like me.

Just wondering if people have any recommendations about eating at airports. The ones I use most are Dublin, Stansted and Bristol and I would welcome any recommendations on SW friendly meals available at them. Other airports recommendations might be useful to other people.

At the end of the day, whatever diet you use, weight loss/gain comes back to the difference between calories in and calories out. Superfree are obviously lower in calories so better for weight loss. SW has it's own approach, "unlimited quantities" isn't strictly true, it's marketing hype, it...

Just wanted to say that as a newbie, I found Jennyonaplate's initial post on this thread to be extremely useful.

Thanks all for encouragement.

I've just joined SW and I want to take off 4 stone before Christmas - 26 weeks - so I've set myself following targets: First 4 weeks - average 3 lbs per week 2nd 4 weeks - average 2.5 lbs per week Average 2 lbs per week after that. Does this sound reasonable?

Hi from Donegal. Just finished first week yesterday and lost 4.5 lbs so well pleased :)

Glad to see another man here - even though the ladies are incredibly friendly :)

Donegal here, attending Strabane. First week just done, 4.5 lbs. :)

Starting diary as part of my discipline. Quick background – male, 60 in 2 weeks’ time, I have coronary problems, no heart attacks but four stents inserted three and a half years ago, a fifth stent just 15 months ago and I’m having another angiogram is 3 weeks’ time! When I got my first 4...

First week, 4.5 lbs, delighted :)

Despite my little hiccup on Saturday, I still managed 4.5 lbs for my first week so I'm dead chuffed :D

WOW Gail, I'm looking at your stats and see a loss of 69.5 lbs from last August, more importantly your BMI down from 41.1 to 29.5 That's encouraging, I have coronary problems - 4 stents put in 3.5 years ago, a fifth one 15 months ago and going now for another angiogram in 3 weeks time. I've...

I'm a man who just joined SW last week and this forum today. Looking around, it seems that the forum is just like the physical SW - almost totally female! One of the things that attracted me to SW is that I'd heard of a few men for whom it had worked well so I thought I'd start a thread where...

Thanks all. It wasn't actually Wetherspoons I ate in, it was Frank and Benny's at Stansted Airport, the Wetherspoons dish was just the nearest equivalent I could find. I'm still a little confused though, am I right in saying that even though all the Free Foods have Syn ratings, you can...

I’m just new to Slimming World (first week)and one thing I’m not sure of is what to count as Syns. I was travelling yesterday and had to have dinner at an airport. Seeking to avoid Syns, I ordered an 8oz rump steak with flat mushroom and herb potatoes, intending to trim off any fat and herb...
