This weekend has been hectic, massive independence day party way too many opportunities to use up to many syns! Let's hope this good weather keeps up...!

I got two pounds off this week, making it 1 stone 6 pounds off :) How is everyone doing? Vix

Thanks!!! Staying positive and still food optimising...can't wait for next weigh in. But not going to let it take over my life..just small steps at a time :)

Weekly weigh in and i got two pounds off!! Whoo!! Aiming for minimum two pounds off a week till end of October to get my next stone off!! :)

Salmon salad, an apple and a diet pepsi

Meal went ok, I went for spicy grilled chicken, rice and vegetables in a tomato sauce...probably some syns in there but not sure how to check it out? Dessert was a black coffee..which in hindsight was a mistake that late at night but yummy so worth it! Not much sleep, and two trains later I'm...

Tough day diet wise, went for drinks and everyone was having MASSIVE pub dinners and diet cokes just don't hit the spot! Because I've taken to counting my syns rather than conveniently forgetting about them I realise I'm down to 10 till Tuesday...eek!!! Meal out to chiquitos and a hen...

Haha I just remembered I'll have to buy a new swimming costume doh!

I really think i should start swimming, i did on holiday this summer but the hard part is my lack of stamina, i can do about 10 lengths and i'm knackered! May try water arobics instead...hope your mum gets better!

Aww thanks for being so encouraging! :)

I love that i can get syn values from looking at previous posts! :)

How is everyone doing? ;)

AWW thanks!!! can't wait for that!....i'll have got 10% off my body weight, which is what my main target is at the moment. What sorts of exercise do you do? Vix

I finally reached it that elusive stone off...after false starts, sweat...tears and plenty of saying no to myself. I got my sticker at slimming world today and i'm sad to say it made it all worth it!! I couldn't stay for the meeting and really missed hearing how everyone got on. I think...

Well done everyone on their weight loss! I got 4 1/2 pounds off :) such hard work but worth it in the end!! can't wait till I get into the next stone category...but happy to have achieved my stone off finally!!

Ahhh thanks for that! :)

Ahh thanks so much!! I read this and it was enough motivation to stick to a black coffee!!! I hadn't heard of the 1 syn per 20kcal before, is it affected by which food plan you do? Vix

Great SW day, minimal syns had, and good gym session had. Would really love to get to the stone off sticker! Haha :)

Hi all, Does anyone know how many syns there are in a large starbucks Mocha? Thanks Vix

Totted up my syns for the day, thought i'd had a light one. But turns out i've had 15.5!! -Chocolate malted milk biscuits x4 and a half -Ragu Pasta sauce Helped make a great bolognese and those biscuits are my fav!!!

Spaghetti bolognese, with lots of veggies

3 piunds off whooo!!

Whoo i lost three pounds, 2 and a half pounds off my first stone...nine more to go!

Green tea, banana and activa fat free yogurt

The feeling you get before a weigh in, when you've put on for the last few weeks...eek! Holidays are such a great idea, until the weigh in when you get back!

An apple x

It's been ages since I wrote on here, how is everyone doing?

Fruit and fibre cornflakes with skimmed milk and a cup of coffee

Aww hope it's going well Hun? you seem really positive and determined which is what counts!! :)

Hiya! Not heard of celebrity slim before, what is it? I can't run for toffee...I tried the nhs couch potato podcast which was good but better if you're training for a run. I run in the gym on the treadmill but not fast at 3/4 kilometres per hour on a high incline, between 8 to 10. This...

First day back at the gym and feeling better for it already! Now I'm back home I'm feeling more in control of my diet and back to food optimising! Vix

Low fat supernoodles with mushrooms and a pear

Back to civilisation! No diary of my own, would you recommend it? 7lb off is amazing - you are clearly doing a lot right! Hope you keep up the momentum :-D

Hello Jane!! I'm a bit off grid this week as am away with work for the week...its a bit of a struggle as we are all cooking together so comprising a bit much on the healthy opts. But going for a run tomorrow so hoping to balance it out with regular exercise. Have you got a short - term goal...

Hi Nat, Firstly thank you, and good on you for signing back onto SW!! I'm trying to stop using the word diet because it feels like I'm depriving myself. You've just decided to focus on eating healthier and changing your lifestyle. And what's better is you've done it before and it worked...

Thank you very much!! :)

Thanks!!! I personally did have my moments of doubt when they said I'd lost weight, but the scales don't lie do they lol :) What point are you on your weight loss journey?

Hi All and Onceandforall, I lost two pounds this week whooo!!! The least I've lost so far but my proudest to date. I went away for the weekend, ate and drank and didn't feel guilty because I still had my syns. The things that were different was I went for an hours run/jog and eventually...

All the best for Tuesday Slimming World weighers! - stay positive xxx

Aww thanks, for the encouragement!! Vix

Girly weekend away done! Went for a run on sat morning, so still feeling achey but glad I did it. Excited instead of daunted to see what the scales say on Tuesday. Vix

Thanks Hun! I'm being mega good today in preparation for the weekend. Who knee I'd find honeydew melon and blackberries yummy! I fed the homeless on sat and had lots of crisps and snacks leftover from their pack lunch and had to bring it in work to get rid of the temptation! Vix

Thanks so much, chuffed is an understatement. Aiming to keep to free foods in the week to help manage my weekend guilt free. Got a girlie weekend away coming up and I know I need as many syns as possible, but i'm going to agree to have 50 for sat and 50 for Sunday to rein it in a bit.

Well done!! I'm on slimming world and got 4 pounds off this week to make me 20 stone 7 pounds. I totally understand how amazing it would be to be 19 stone something!! Keep up the good work, Vix

Whooo lost 4 pounds!!! No idea how because it's been a hard week, but the food optimising must have worked!! Set my next week target at two pounds!!

Not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow!

Thank you for the encouragement! It's the weekend that's my main problem, I seem to eat more in two days than I do all week! Vix

Hi all! How was everyone's weekend? Mine wasn't very good I was poorly and fell off the diet wagon! Back on it it again, will see what the scales say tomorrow x

Thanks Angel uk! It's defo helping me, i've never had online support before and it's FAB! Nice to know I'm not the only person in the world losing weight! Vix

Thanks for that! I was just wondering how to cook it. I bought a whole one, so will use that method. About to go get my hair done bit of pampering, haven't been for ages!! What's on your menu tonight?

Hiya, I wouldn't know!! I've only looked at how the extra easy plan worked tbh. But sounds v sensible! I'm thinking of trying another plan soon once I've got my head around this one! When is your weigh in? Vix

Ahhh I had a look on the computer and I see what you mean now. I mostly use my iPhone too check posts. I'm taking the children on a school trip so fruit and yogurt for brekkie. Used my syns for a mocha and flapjack (may have to borrow some syns from tomorrow for that!) Ham salad sandwhich with...

Aww lots thanks Tizy!! How did you get on this week? Are you losing or maintaining? Vix

Hi Ceit, To be honest, i'm part of a Slimming World group but there's just too many people in there to really benefit from it. That's why I went online to find a support base and found Minimins. You said you're sort of doing SW, have you chosen which option you're doing? I'm doing the extra...

Wow! Your local council/husband are good! I'm just going to a local gym, I'm good with regular exercise but the only thing that's made a difference weight wise is changing my diet and gym together. Looks like you're all prepared for the journey ahead!

Amazing Hi Welshcake, Wow just seen your picture and it has really spurned me on to keep going with the weight loss! Well done you!!

Thanks!! I def will do!! The boards are a great help!!

Sounds idyllic !! Nothing like a bit of relaxation start the day :)

Hiya, I've no idea how to look at your signature haha...step by step instructions maybe? It's brilliant that you're staying positive! I wish everyday could be like a weigh in day when you've just found out you've lost a lot of weight. I found today a bit of a struggle, always do when it's...

52lbs!! Since feb that's amazing! I'm feeling great munching in some melon on my break from work. How are you today?

Thanks! You'll have to let ms know how you get on. I've been eating fruit and mullerlight fat free yogurts for breakfast (I never used to eat breakfast) I save my milk choice for coffees through the day (I stuck to hot drinks, water and flavoured water this week) . Lots of fruit for my snack...

Thanks Sue! Don't bs nervous, just try to trust the plan and enjoy it. £60 pounds for three months is a huge saving!! I kinda understand why you're doing it online now! Are you doing exercise with the plan? Vix

5.5lbs off on my first week whoooo!!!

I'm ok thanks! how are you? I had my first weigh in and I've lost five and a half pounds on the SW plan. Is the Paul McKenna hypnosis? Have you felt a difference? Vix

Hello! How much have you lost so far? Vix :)

Thanks MsMia, I lost five and a half pounds and am now totally sold on the plan! A little amazed at wide choice of food and (booze!!) haha and chatting on here has really helped with the past couple of days! Just wished I knew about Minimins earlier! Vix

Hi Sue, That's so much more sensible, it took me two days to fully get my head around the extra easy plan. To be honest I'm still learning each day! One thing I did keep forgetting, was to take skin off all meat - oops!!! Are you not joining a group? I still haven't gone on their website...

Aww thanks for that Clare I'll just have a read of them now, I'm part of a group and i had my first weigh in today and lost five and a half pounds. I'm still I'm slight shock to be honest!! Was a really good bit I motivation on the long journey ahead to my target weight. Have you been doing SW...

One day to make a difference with my weigh in..

Hello! What diet plan are you on?

I've got 10 stone to lose to get to my target weight. This is such a big target for me I've decided to go for 10% of my weight as my first aim. I seem to be eating pasta and rice this week, I'm going to try potatoes next week to mix things up a bit :) I've got my first week weigh in tonight...

Ahhh first weigh in tomorrow...excited and worried!!

Hiya everyone! So happy to see i'm not the only one out there who has a lot of weight to shift! I've just joined SW, went to the first meeting and realised I'm one of the heaviest in the group, suprise suprise! Hoping to get those pounds off, still a bit incredulous about the choice of...

Hi All, Just stumbled across Minimins, looks like a fab community. Any tips/advice on SW diet for beginners? I've just started this week and still getting my head around it. Thanks, Vix
