I have just read the hunger games and thought it was amazing! Have moved on to my sisters keeper which I am ready to give up on but I hate not finishing books. Will be reading the next 2 hunger games books next I think...if I ever get to the end of my sisters keeper.

Hi guys hope you don't mind me joining in. I started SW in August and have still only lost 9lb. Like you I am currently stuck in a rutt! I know all the things I should be doing- I plan meals, take 'free' soup for lunch to work but still end up giving up by the end of the day and thinking sod it-...

I have just got back from Tesco and at this time of day therre are bargins to be had! Bananas- still greenish just 59p for a bunch, bag of brussels 13p, lamb steaks £2.50. Aldi super 6 at 69p each fruit and veg are always good too. Another idea would be to have a veg box delivered. A basic box...

Thank you for posting your brilliant success story. I have had a bad few weeks with gains and am only at the start of my journey. I see people in my group who have lost over 3st and those who are at target and sometimes think I will never get there but encouragement from those people at group...

WI last night and lost 2.5lb. Was made up!!!! Thanks for the advise of the SE day. Am going to say it helped as something ovbiously was different this week to last. Will try to aim to keep Sundays as my SE day each week as I have a roast on sundays so have lots and lots of veggies and can have...

Yey! Bit of a blip last week but lost 2.5lb this week.

I am like stackhead. I have tried many ways to loose weight but on my own I never succeed. Going to group and being made to stand on the scales every weeks keeps me focused. I know it is a very personal choice but I know with out my group I won't be able to do this. If it is your group you...

ooo beetroot and phili dip! that sounds good. Do you think quark would be ok? Is beetroot still free if its pickled?

I went through this the other week- seriously thought I was going to die. I stumbled round the kitched and managed to put a jacket in the oven. Went back to bed for an hour. Took over an hour to eat the potato with beans and a bit of cheese on it (had to microwave it three times to reheat!) I...

am not an expert but it should help in the long run. It might not show on the scales this week. I did the same thing last week and really upped my exercise to the point where on WI day I was walking like john wayne (the stairs up to the door nearly had me in tears). I had put on a lb. My...

Pickled stuff is ok then? Think people might start asking questions when I sit in the staff room munching on pickled onions and gerkins. I do like them though. Have been to get some melon today to change up the fruit I eat. Might make a bit of coleslaw with fat free yog and carrots, onions and...

I am worried that I have been eating too much fruit lately (7+ pieces a day- 4 in a fruit salad for brekki then other bits through out the day.) Have taken carrot sticks and pepper sticks to work to nibble on but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for superfree snacks.

Soup soup soup! You probably won't feel like it but try to go for a little walk, even though you probably ache all over the fresh air will help and its a bit of body magic in the mix. Failing all that night nurse is my absolute must have when I am sick. Feel better soon. x

I am so glad that other people think the weight they 'should' be according to bmi range is as crazy as I do. I do a lot of sport and despite the fact its got a fair layer of fat round it am quite musuclar. My ideal weight should be 7stone something! As if!!!I think I would look like a child at...

Was going to ask this question as well! Are pickle beetroot and gerkins free? Do they count as superfrees? Trying to find some alternatives to just carrot and cucmber sticks for superfree snacks to take to work.

Kindles are definately the way forward guys! I was one of those people who said I would never get one because 'I like books' but that is exactly why they are great! So so many books all in one little lovely handheld device. I have just finished a lovely book called 'The Art of Racing in the...

Cheers me dears have read up and will give it a go for a few days. Have decided sunday and monday's meal plans work well for Success Express. Anyone have any ideas on how to make snacks more exciting than just a piece of fruit or carrot sticks?

Well done Blondee! One piece of fruit a day! I also think have been eating too much fruit- over 5 a day! What is success express please? It isn't in my book? Am always up for a challenge.

Sorry guys feel like a failure- Have put 1lb on this week. Really don't get it though as I was so so well behaved and did more exercise! Felt really bloated at WI and am days off star week so maybe this might be a contributing factor. Hoping for better results next week.

Sad news here have put on 1lb. First gain since I started and I swear I was so well behaved and did lots more exercise last week. Gutted!!!!

Ha Ha Ha!!!! Love it!

Corn on the cob and a new Uncle Bens Rice pot thing- Sweet and Sour which according to syns online is free. Yummy

Good luck with weigh in tonight Blondee and Hannah!!!

Lost 1.5lb this week which shows that even if you do have a little blip as long as you have stuck to plan the rest of the time you will be fine. Some one said last night that you have to think of the week like a bunch of roses. Just because one rose has died doesn't mean you have to throw the...

1.5lb off for me this week. Only 2lb til half stone and my first ever sticker. Fingers crossed I'll get that next week.

Hey Blondee- Banks Holidays don't happen very often and you have done well every other week so I think a bad few days is fine in the grand scheme of things. You know what you have eaten and drunk and 'IF' the scales are unkind next week you know why and can move on. Get back on the SW wagon as...

Aldi have 20 steamer bags for £1.99 at the moment. WIll make cook veg for 1 easier and because there are so many bags you can cut up and freeze veg to use when you want it.

I like to keep my alpen light bars in the biscuit tin so I can fool myself into thinking am having a naughty treat when actually its a healthy extra. (Thats quite sad isn't it?!?!?)

Well done Veggiegirl! 2.5 lbs is great! Got any good tips for us on how to keep up the good losses?

So have felt miserable all week and....lost 2lb!!!! Am shocked! I have been for a walk today to clear my head then went to a class at the gym and am feeling much much better now. Thanks for the lovely support guys xxx

I lost 2 this week which am happy with. Have stuck to plan but not felt very happy until now! Only 4.5 to go until I moved down to the 10s.

Its my weigh in day today but not feeling confident about it at all. On a bit of a downer at the moment. All my friends and family have gone away for these two weeks (not together though) so am at home all alone and have tried to stick to plan but feel like I've done nothing but eat (only had 1...

Try putting a cushion behind you and instead of doing sit ups get a weight of some sort and twist from side to side, touchuing the weight on the floor. You need to lean back and have your legs bent but with the cushion there your back should be ok-ish. It is a great exercise for building up your...

Yummy in my tummy especially at 1/2 a syn. Have just fallen in love with the crumble flavours!

Mahooosive steak and butternut squash chips and salad. Not made the chips before so hopefully they will be ok. Any tips?

Biggest looser USA for me on Sat and Sun on Living. One guy lost 23pounds in the first week!!!!

One Pound off is a great start to your challenge Blondee. Well done. My weigh in not until Tuesday so still away to go for me!

Hi you lovely helpful people. Have seen people talking about being 100% and was wondering if that meant no syns? Have followed the plan completely this week but some of my slimming world meals have had a few syns built in.

Stackhead- I had Piri Piri Pork last week. It was lovely but quite hot- my mum really struggled with the Piri Piriness of it but I really enjoyed it. Am having Moroccan chickpea stew with couscous- hopefully it will be yummy like the rest of the SW things I've had so far.

Have just tried to plan and get a head of my self to make this as 'easy' as possible. Have just used up lots of veg and made soup and put it in the freezer so I have lunches ready for the rest of the week. Have cut up some more veg and put into bags in freezer so they are quickly ready to go...

Hi Blondee! Your chanllenge works for me- I am a teacher and would love to be half a stone lighter by the time I start back at work in September. I only joined slimming world a week ago and lost the 1.5 in my first week. I know thats not a massive first week loss but did have a few weak...

Hi! I do body combat on my weigh in day. I love combat, can only manage once a week of it at the moment but hoping to get up to 2 a week soon. I am on week 2 of my slimming world plan and hope to loose a total of 2.5 stone but don't really have time frame in mind.

With EE and having to have 1/3 super free foods- if I made a SW meal such as a casserole which had loads of super free veg in it, would I still need to have veg on the side or would that ok?

Hi! I have just got back on the SW band wagon after having been on several others with poor results over the last 6 years. I hope to loose 7lb by 6th Sept ready for going back to work (teacher). I lost 1.5lb in my first week but hope to do better over the next few weeks. I have just set my...

Thanks TrimTrixy- you have lost an amazing amount and it makes me think that maybe, just maybe I can do this. 9st puts me in the healthy BMI band so am going to make that my target and see how I get on. You said your last stone and half is clinging on. Do you do much exercise? I go to...

Last night SW Chicken, Lemon and Garlic Casserole- AMAZING!!!!! Tonight trying SW Beef Dhansak then SW chocolate mousse for pud. Only just started so trying a different SW meal every night.

Hi! I've only just joined Slimming World and in my first week lost 1.5lb which doesn't seem much for a first week loss compared to others! I have a few questions and was wondering if you lovely guys could help me out. 1. It feels so wrong eating Extra Easy stuff as everything is allowed from...
