Have just been for the LL consultation and I'm starting a new group tonight! If I had started a week on Friday as suggested I'm sure I would have used the time in-between as a total pig fest :-( I think it shows how determined I am to get on with it! Have done the plan previously losing 3 stone...

Hi Guys! This website has changed (for the better!) since i was last on here! I couldn't decide whether to go back to group or try (again :() to go it alone at home. Anyway, decided at home, alone but I know with the support of people like yourselves! Putting £5 away each week to (hopefully!)...

Well done you! I think you've got this sussed! :)

Wow! That's an impressive weight loss record you have there! Good luck to you for later! :)

I did the Beef Bouginion recipe that is in the new SW mag in my slow cooker for 5 hours on low. It was GORGEOUS, even with the swede mash! :)

Well done Chelle! You are so close to your target! :) Hope your feeling "Happier" for the week ahead!

Morning guys! What can I say but my (HUGE!) efforts paid off...I lost 3lbs and reached my club 10! :) Now just got to make sure I don't buy a "cheeky" bottle of wine to celebrate my efforts :(

Hey Giraffegirl! You must have some motivation cos you've lost 56lbs!!! Well done you! :) I know what you mean about self sabotaging...why have 1 glass of wine when you can have the WHOLE bottle...Ho Hum :( Welcome anyway! :)

Hey Chelle! You've done so well, you should be really proud of all the effort you've put into your fab weight loss :) Must admit I've been fannying about myself lately, 1lb on, 1 off, STS etc, etc. Drinking too much between Thursday evening and Sunday then trying to be really good before the...

Hi kimmieBee! Well done on your fab 1st week loss! I bet your thrilled and such a good boost to carry on! I'm also doing SW but have been "fannying around" for want of a better phrase lately. 1lb off, 1lb on, STS...you get the picture! Anyway, decided I was wasting time and money so have really...

A 1lb off for me at Thursdays weigh-in :-( Have decided I'm fed up of "fannying" about...for want of a better expression so have gone all out to quit the wine ( :-( ) and have made a real effort to be organised and start cooking some of the recipes available. Have to say, i tried the beef...

Hi Guy's! Well done all of you who have put the effort in and been rewarded with a loss! I didn't and gained a 1lb :-( I seem to have a few crappy days followed by frantic " must make up for the weekend" days! Just seem to have lost the enthusiasm at the moment and didn't even stay for the...

Hi Guy's! 1/2 off plus lost the 5.4lbs holiday beer gain! Went to a morning weigh-in instead of normal 5pm class to see someone getting they're...9 1/2 STONE award! Her club 10 weight was 18 stone! Total respect for this lady, she looked fabulous! No excuse for me trying to lose 12lbs now...

Hi Girls & Guy's! Didn't weigh in last week as was in sunny Spain. However as soon as i got back on saturday i weighed myself to find...5.4lbs on!!! All the signs of a good holiday me thinks...and a greddy, beer swigging pig but hey! It has been (Almost!) a relief to get straight back on plan...

Morning everyone! 3lbs off for me last night, makes up for my "No show" at last weeks meeting! Aiming to reach my club 10 next week...fingers crossed!!!

Well done Chelle! All the effort you've put in is certainly showing! I didn't go to club last week and felt really guilty, so hoping for a better result tonight!

Sorry Girls, 1lb on for me :( having said that i had a wicked time in London last weekend and you have to have a few pleasures along the way! Will try harder this week!

Thanks Lynda! Sounds lovely! :)

Hi Guys! 3.5lbs off for me last night and 1st stone off sticker! :) There seems to be some very good loses this week!

Thanks patchworkpuss! I'll have a look!

OMG! You look fantastic and you so deserve to have a fabulous time on holiday! I keep asking people how do they keep sticking to plan not just for days but weeks, months or even a year after they 1st started. I'm struggling and it's only been 6 weeks! I think i need to stick your pics on my...

Hi Everyone! I need some help. My SW leader is leaving tomorrow evening (Why do all the good ones go??!) and we're having a little party to wish her well. I need to supply a token food dish that can be "syned" by those people who are being SOOOO good! Any quick, easy & tasty ideas? :)

Hi Everyone! 1lb off for me. Not that happy with myself but bearing in mind the brief bit of sun meant bbq & beer i suppose I should be quite pleased! Really trying for a good week, 2.5lbs & 1st stone off...Fingers crossed!

Well done! Has taken me 3 weeks to achieve that but hey! It didn't just take 3 weeks to put on! Hope you have a fab 2nd week too!

Hi! Hope you don't mind me adding to your thread but i thought as I weigh-in on a Thursday I'd come and join your gang! 3rd weigh-in for me last night and i lost 3lbs. That's 10.5lbs in 3 weeks and I got slimmer of the week & slimmer of the month! Here's to another week!

...and I lost 3lbs! That's 7.5lbs so far. Feeling very unwell though, only a cold, but why do they make you feel so rubbish? :( I think this 3rd week is going to be quite a challenge!

Well done! 1st sticker for you next week!!!

Hi latte, Don't be too gutted. The 1st week can go either way, some have a massive loss, some 1lb and some gain. Sometimes i think the body goes into shock thinking "Hang on, what's going on here?" If you stick to plan 100%, try and fill your plate with 1/3 freefoods (salad or veg) and drink...

I've taken them for a month now. Have also been following the SW diet for 2 weeks and take my 2 hunting dogs out for 2-3 hours a day and I have to say these have made NO DIFFERENCE to my weight loss. I knew when i bought them that they probably wouldn't work, but stupidly spent the money...what...

I keep chickens and having eaten my girls eggs straight after being laid, i don't think I could ever buy a shop egg again! Generally, home produced eggs are good to eat for up to 3 weeks. We're lucky if we have any left after 3 days! The colour of the yolk is so bright that it makes you think...

I'm thinking of getting it out the wardrobe and using it as a guide to my weight loss...Take a photo of it suffocating my ankles, then my knees, etc, etc until one day...HOORAY!!!! It fits!!!! Well, I can wish can't I?!! Well done on your weight loss! :)

I once spent...wait for it...£180.00 for a beautiful dress and little matching cardi from Phase Eight when I had originally got down to my all time lowest weight. It was for a wedding, but as I'm not used to spending money "just like that" I kept the tags in right up until I had to get changed...

Thanks Donna! I must admit I haven't had any pasta this week and just a couple of Jacket potatoes. Bread is what i miss the most...I love it! I know what you mean about counting, pointing, weighing & measuring! That's what i wanted to get away from and make this a more normal way of life with...

Hi Cheryl. I can see why you might be a bit frustrated! I would be inconsolable! I find it hard enough being on a "diet" and literally have to take it meal by meal. I also assume that if I've been good for a day or two, i should immediately lose 2 stone!!! I must admit i find it hard adding...

Hello KVM77 & welcome! Good luck for mondays weigh-in! I've always done WW but wanted to get away from the weighing & measuring everything. The only thing I'm not so chuffed with on SW is the syns :( Anything you like has so many it's just not worth it and I can't stop at 1 glass of wine! But...

Well done Amanda! I was told at the meeting that i had lost the same as what an Ostrich egg weighs! Someone else who started the same week as me also lost 4.5lbs so maybe it is an acceptable 1st week weigh in!!!

Thank you & well done to you Cheryl on your 4.5lb loss! Did you have a difficult 2nd week? I had trouble getting my head round what I was doing week 1, so have trawled the SW website & printed off lots of recipes so I'm better prepared! I'm aiming for 2.5lbs...so long as the wine doesn't scupper...

Hi everyone! 1st WI last night & I lost 4.5lbs. Have to say that although I'm pleased I'm also a little disappointed as "generally" you lose more in your 1st week due to fluid loss, but also because I have cut out beer, cider, lovely thick wholemeal bread, cheese, everything that obviously makes...

I've been taking capsiplex. Bearing in mind I'm following SW eating plan, have cut down on bread & Alcohol by 90%, take the dogs out for 2.5 hours a day, I can't say it's made any difference at all. I knew when i bought them they probably wouldn't work, but you always have that little thing in...

Thanks guy's! I made the creamy carbonara last night and have to say a 1/4 portion was more than enough! Shame about the bottle of wine though :( Oh well, today's another day!

Hi polly, I've just started SW too! At least you know you have lost the weight before so there's no reason why you can't again! Good Luck! Are you doing SW again this time?

Thanks everyone for your help & welcomes! I've just posted another introduction as I couldn't find this original message anywhere! As you can see I've just found it!

Hi! My name is Jaki & I signed up for Slimming World on Thursday evening. Have tried other methods but really need something that is more "normal" life rather than counting, weighing & surviving on a pack! Have recently had 2 operations which had me sitting on my back-side for 10+ weeks :( Put a...

I'm Jaki and I joined on Thursday evening. Have to say I'm feeling a little over-whelmed getting my head round all the do's and don't so to speak! I'm sure it will get easier. You name it, I've done it...WW's, Lighterlife. I'm really hoping that SW will be the final "Eating plan" I'm going to...
