Wow 17 stone is fantastic..it's so scary when you gain a stone back though cus you don't wanna start heading upwards again! I've lost 3 stone and then gained back like a stone and I just can't let any more creep back on or I will be exactly where I started again at some point soon! Being a...

So I have been a complete failure!!! I have disappeared off and gotten a bit fatter again! :( I suck!! I have no will power at all. But I'm back...hoping to lose the weight my fat arse has gained and some more! Not going sliimming world or anything, just going for a counting calories (1500 a...

Definitely!! You have done so well so far though! How much have u lost in total now?!! :) x

OK so I have been an absolute failure! After doing so well at the start, I lost all my motivation when I went back to uni and then my school placement started and half term and my birthday! I neeeeeeeeeeeeed to focus and keep trying, it's just so hard when I wake up at 6am and then don't get...

Helllo!! I'm back again! How are you doing???? I see you've been sick? :( That sucks! I was sick too, not fun! I have been doing terribly, not on plan at all, but from monday I wanna get back on, just been super busy at my school placement! I need to make sure I come on here and see you lot so I...

Yeah I've been soo busy at uni and then I start school placement next week, which means I'm going to be even busier. I haven't been on plan the last two weeks really, but I'm hoping that now I'm going to be at school all day, it will be easier because I won't have anything to eat but what I...

Woooo congrats on losing the 5lbs thats amazing!!!!! :D Sorry I have been MIA been super busy! I hope all is going well, sounds like you are doing fantastically though! :D xx

I totally suck at keeping up with my diary and the site atm, just soo busy with uni! Been sticking to my plan this week though, so I'm happy. Going to go to aquafit tomorrow hopefully, so lets hope I lose some more pounds this week. My friends at uni have been saying im looking slimmer today...

Woo awesome! Fairy cakes sound delicious, send this way please hehe!! Well done for being on track! :D xx

That's good! :) I think we are gunna have times when we stray off a bit, cus having such a controlled diet just isnt fun for months on end! Aslong as it its like 90% of the time though i think we will be alright aha! Yeah im back on my first day and so far all is going ok thanks! :D x

Yeah I will skip my period for next month (the joy of the pill). I tend to have a TOTM then skip one, then have one again, cus I get such bad headaches and stuff, that I can't deal with it every month! So hopefully my food wont be too affected for another 42 days aha!! :D x

So my hormones got the better of me this week and I have been eating shockingly bad! Havent been following my slimming world at all...however today was my weigh in day and I havent gained anything...i think cus my week started off ok, with lots of running and stuff its just gotten rubbish as the...

Emma you gone MIA? :P

Ohhh very posh making your own sushi! Looks nice (i dont like sushi but it looks nice for someone who does like it aha). So you've had a good week then? xx

That's fair enough, its not worth wasting your money if you dont feel like you are getting anything out of it!!! Sounds like a nice dinner! I love pasta with a good garlicy tomato sauce! :D x

Yay I'm glad you lost the 2lbs! You not gunna go back to group anymore? x

Woooooo!!! Awesome!! Congratulations! That's great :D Ahaha its not only two pounds, its great! I'm glad everyone else gets the TOTM wants to eat anything and everything situation too! aha x

Today has been another bad day....TOTM is really cocking me up :( wanna try and get back on it tomorrow! Just suck at controlling my food during TOTM...I told my bf he's lucky I haven't eaten him yet! :P

Are they only 7? They have 170 calories so I thought they were 8.5? :O x

Aaha thats the best bit, being like i lost 3lbs EVERYONE! hehe! Let me know how you do!! :D x

Ah thats good you just moved on from it though! Oooh weigh in! I hope you do well :D Thanks for the email again btw! Good to have the info :D x

Thanks! How you doing? :) x

Oh ok...it says 113g in that green hexb thing you emailed me! Thats cool 70g is a much better portion for me!! :D So yesterday went a bit wrong...i had half a medium dominos pizza (just cheese) and 3 cookies :( Shame on me! I was just in one of those moods! But I went out and did my c25k...

2lbs is a good loss! :) It's deffo better to lose it slowly, it stops you putting it back on so quickly I think! If you continue on the 2lb a week, then 10 weeks is nothing!! Congrats on your loss! :) x

I went into uni today and people were like you look skinnier!! I was like yay!!!!!!!!!! :D Aaha. Only a little loss but i think its noticeable on my face...i have a lot of face, so weight always goes off/on it first!! :D x

So I just did my couch to 5k run! Think we are starting again, as we had such a long break in between the runs! The bf wants to run every day! Which I would be up for trying to do, but with uni and stuff it will be a challenge. Since I have used soo few syns today I think I will have a chocolate...

Laura I love the george foreman for toastie making as I dont have a grill!! Sooo delicious! :D Had one the other day..om nom nom!!! :D x

aha men never listen anyway!! :P x

It's a bit sad but it does take over your life a bit...I end up talking about SW all the time....how many syns things are, how many syns I can have, if im hungry, if im full lol!! My poor bf must hate it!!!! :/ x

Yeah i think its a good plan it will encourage me to eat beef more, cus atm i've been eating loads of chicken and im sick of it. Had to force myself to eat all mine tonight and i only had like 65g of the 113g i could have. I made tarragon chicken tonight with natural yoghurt instead of cream...

Ohh well done! :D I need to get a slow cooker! They are cheap, but its one of those things I just never think about getting! I just made a cheese and potato 'pie' (just breadcrumbs) thing, and it was really nice! :) x

Thank you! Yeah I just need to remember to pack all my stuff before going to uni so that I am prepared for my lunches and stuff, so i am not tempted to snack!!! The days at uni this week are shorter than normal though, so hopefully that will help a bit! :) Hope you're doing alright! x

Ahh that sucks! I was bad too...I had a lot of cake yesterday :/ oops. But back on it today...had weigh in day and on my scales I think i may have lost like half a pound or something, cant really tell as mechanical but nothing noticeable really. Although on my electrical scales i have gone down...

Hello, I have definitely sucked at keeping up with my diary this week, but I have been the most tired anyone has ever been ever ahaha!! It's been ridiculous. Meaning I haven't done any exercise except my swim on monday and a bit of walking to shops etc! I'm hoping to have lost weight as I have...

Ahaha that sounded funny 'i have a proposition for you' lol! I'm glad you enjoyed the group though, it will be great support to go each week and get weighed, also it will definitely keep you motivated!! :D It's horrible not wanting to cook when you get home isnt it?! This week I have been sooo...

Ah that sucks, but I'm sure sometimes it takes a while to come off, if you keep it up it will happen! :) I thought I wasn't gunna lose anything last week...I don't think I will lose anything this week tbh! I'm sick of dieting already...I literally cannot eat a normal dinner, I had some scrabbled...

Why do you think its not working?! How much exercise are you doing? It should be working though, even without the exercise if its a drastic cut to your previous diet?! x

Sorry I've been a bit MIA I have just gone back in to my school placement, at a behavioural school and im just sooo tired afterwards aha. Diet is still going well. Don't get chance to eat much at school except lunch, but im still having my issue with not wanting dinner...yesterdays dinner was a...

Sounds like a good day! :D Love those mulller greek yogurts! Omnom!x

Congrats Laura! Hope the interview gets you a job!! When I first moved to cornwall, I literally could not get a job for 6 months, even though I had a degree and years of experience in shop work, had like 6 interviews before I finally got one! Horrible experience, job hunting sucks!! Glad...

So today I went to try and do aqua fitness, walked all the way there which is like 15-20 mins, but 10 mins of that is up hill! Then the bloody lady had cancelled so they said i could have a free swim so i swam for about 40 mins, then I had to go pick up my computer. After doing that I couldn't...

Hi fedupwelshgirl that sucks that it was creeping back! But better you stop it now than a few months down the line when it's gets out of hand! :) good luck!

I've only been on for 8 days soo not long at all! I used to eat sweet stuff constantly and now to cut back so much drives me mental, but I've been allowing myself some sweet stuff every few days, or a little bit a day so that I don't go mental aha! How are you finding it other than that miss?

Soo today hasn't been great for syns...5 1/2 over...but will eat less tomorrow to make up for it! Also I'm going to a aquafit class tomorrow! I have eaten: 4 weetabix (in two different sittings,but used them as my hex bs) 350ml milk hexa chocolate cakey bar thing - 6 syns cheese omlette -cheese...

I'm thinking about food but just not savory, all I want is cake and chocolate ahaha! It definitely is the diet though, it makes you far more aware of food, you do think about it more and crave stuff more. I think it should stop being soo bad after a while? I'm hoping it is anyway for both our...

It sucks doesnt not wanting to eat the regular meals but knowing you kind of have to, doesnt it lisa!! Also Tilly that is a good plan, might have some tea with lemon and a teaspoon of sweetner later! :) I ended up having a 'normal' dinner anyway, even though I didnt fancy it, and actually...

Thanks everyone! :D Looking at the list, lots of people seem to be doing fabulously! :) Well done!

Thanks every one!! :D I'm sooooo happy!! Tilly that pasta sounds really yummy..you can come make it for me now if you like, I'm hungry :P Yay for going to the gym though Laura, especially if you are a bit ill! I'm going to search for some food as I am starving, the problem I'm having atm is...

Thank you!! :D SOooo happy! I hope I can lose some next week as well So I get closer to the 10s! Being in the tens is like a dream lol!! x

I made the rice pudding last night, it was nice, but deffo does need some tweaking to be better! Also I'm announcing it everywhere as I'm soo happy...Ive lost 3lbs in my first week of SW, doing it from home! :D Yay!!! Ahaha. Soo happy :D x

Woo 1lb is still 1lb though!! That's great! I'm sure it will be better next week! :D xx

Thanks texty! Will post in the morning if i have lost anything! :D x

I'm not entirely sure, i think you only gain weigh when you have been exercising for a while and you are actually gaining muscle, at first I think it just burns the fat...but im not sure on that one sorry!

Ahaha my mum thought it was hilarious when I told her today to...there is a rail at waist height as well so it's quite the balancing act! It's the only way though...i tried doing it on my door step but I had to wear more clothes and I like to be as light as possible ahaha!! One day I will have a...

Woo awesome everyone! Thats amazing for 5 days! I do my weigh in tomorrow, it's my first one, so I am hoping for a loss, but won't be too disappointed if it takes a few weeks to start showing up! :) x

Problem for me is that weighing my self is so hard cus I have all carpets in my flat so i have to climb inside my wardbrobe to do it, so its kinda awkward, but hopefully i will be able to tell that im losing or not! Hopefully you might have a loss, but you deffo will next week when you haven't...

So I may have eaten the rest of the rice pudding...so I am over my daily syns..but still 4.5 under for the week, so overall I can cope with that! :) It's been a good week! x

That's fair enough! Honestly I literally took a break from WW for like a year and I only gained like 5lbs back, cus I just couldn't diet any more, i needed time to eat within reason, what I wanted!! I completely understand the need to be in the right head space to diet and stick at it! Just...

Aha ditto! Weigh in day tomorrow!!!!!!!! AHhhhhh sooo excited! I doubt I've lost anything but I'm still excited...i hope i have! Are u weighing in tomorrow as well? x

Oh definitely Before dieting I used to eat cereal for dinner or cake or something quite a lot ahah, cus I just don't enjoy savory food that much!! Sucks! Why can fruit taste like cake?! x

So today has been an odd food day for me! I havent fancy a savory dinner so ended up making SW rice pudding for dinner aha! So i've had: 2 weetabix - hexb 350ml milk toasted cheese sandwich with my hexb bread and hexa cheese yogurt - 1/2 syn a small cakey type thing- 6 syns SW rice pudding - 6...

Good! Enjoy the food sounds delicious! Im soo jealous x

Aahaha! Well as long as you had a nice dinner then it doesnt matter! It's better to enjoy the food then eat food you don't enjoy just cus its a few more syns! As long as your sticking to them its cool! :) x

Aahaha just read your blog! OOOOOPS! LMAO! So deffo not the best day for you! Whats done is done! Eat all your bad stuff tonight then 2morrow go back to the diet!!! :) Things like that do happen though and im not against a day every now and again where you eat lots of crap as long as it doesnt...

Ahaha Emma it's not that bad at all, I bet you are still under your weekly syns, and tomorrow is a new week for us anyway so it starts all over again! :) You havent had a bad day at all, you do worry over nothing! :P xx

Thanks Laura! Yeah Mandle I think the couch to 5k thing does will work, I've never jogged/ran before either, especially cus I have bad knees, but you start at literally 1 minute running, then 1.5mins break, so its not too bad! Then its just a case of working up slowly! Do it with someone else...

What is bokwa?? x

Did my 2nd couch to 5k! :D Proud of myself for actually doing it! Just gotta continue when I go back to uni!! :)

I guess! But still I feel guilty for giving in! I should be more strong willed than that! Hopefully I will go out for my second couch to 5k jog tonight, was meant to do it yesterday, but the bf was busy, hopefully he's not busy tonight too! It will make me feel less guilty if I do it! :) x

Aha good! :) You're having a better day than me! x

So I caved..and made some cupcakes..but low syn ones, and I've got 2 which is like 8syns, so not bad, and I'm way under my weekly syns even with these cakes and I've only got 1 day left so I caved! Totally worth it though! What's the point of having syns if you aren't gunna use em?! That sucks...

Todays food dairy: 2 weetabix 350ml milk sweet potato soup and ww bread - 2syns butter ...only ate a little bit of the soup as I really didn't fancy it. Homemade low syn pancakes - 10 syns for the flour Pasta, with a little bit of chicken - 3 syns, and my cheese hex-a. Again really don't fancy...

Why do you think it was a bad day?! You stuck to your syns so it's fine! :D x

WOW 11lbs thats amazing!! Congratulations! I don' t think i will be losing that much, but hopefully a pound or two aha! xx

Ohh no Jen! Hope you are feeling alright! The norovirus sucks soo bad! I got it on a coach :| not even a little bit fun at all. Hope you feel better soon!! x

Aw congrats to her! :D Have a good day too! x

Aha i hate dieting and being poor! It sucks when you wanna buy loads of nice food and low syn snacks but can't cus u have no money. Can't wait for my student loan day hehe! x

Wow chipmunk you look fabulous! :D Lovely dress! :) x

Ah your lucky, its ok if you have lots of people to eat what you bake, I only have my bf and well he will eat a lot, he never gets rid of everything before I get my fat little hands on them aha! x

I love the sound of putting money away in a jar or something, although I am far too poor to actually do that, hence why not going to classes aha! I do like the idea of putting a pound in a jar for every pound you lose in a week then at the end of the month buying something little for yourself...

Baking is soo good isnt it!! Yummy i will have a look! The problem for me isnt baking low syn things, it's just the fact that I will bake them..then eat like 10 :/ I have literally no control...I stick some in the freezer and then defrost like 5 a day! I have compulsive cake eating issues aha...

Exactly...you hit the target you wanted, and if you can't stick to dieting atm, then at least you can maintain hopefully and then when you want to really get into losing any more then you can focus on it! You are great to have hit your original target anyway! After being on a diet your...

Thanks! :D I hope the chocolate evens out aha! Aw I love babies, thats soo exciting! Got another 5 or so years yet before I start having any though...which i guess is a good and bad thing! You just got the one? x

I'm new too! Only on day 4, but this week i've only used 57.5 of my 105, and I only have 2 days left...I just haven't needed to use them for anything, I havent been restricting myself on stuff, apart from like having cake/brownies that would be like 235235 syns aha! I've still had chocolate and...

Ahaha oops! I guess just start a fresh next week...or as soon as you can after your going out is done! :D It's a nightmare going out and trying to stick to a diet, i really struggle, so I don't blame you! :P x

Thank you! Yeah im really proud of myself, cus when I had been doing WW recently I literally gave up after like 1 day! I've been in a cakey mood today but the bf has been very firm and I have resisted baking...cus that would be super crazy points...although might look into making some...

So today has been a meh day. I went over my daily syns by 2 but again I am under for the week so again not to bothered! I have two days of my week left and ive only used 57.5syns, so deffo gunna be under for the week which is ok by me cus i dont feel i have restricted myself! :) So my food...

No its not a rubbish day! It wasnt too bad at all :) You only had 13 syns so thats not too bad! Yay at your friend having a baby! Soo exciting :) x

If you stick to it im sure you will have a good loss! Well im only on day 4 of SW so its ok so far aha. Looking forward to seeing if i have a loss after a week, but not counting on it, cus sometimes it takes a while for the body to get used to the change, so i will be ok if i dont lose for a few...

Aww dont worry, everyone has times when they gain a bit especially over xmas and new years. Just think of it as one week out of many that wont matter by next week! :) x

Ohh nice you've done a lot from it already! Ahh i wish i didnt have a sweet tooth, it sucks! :( x

Aha no your not a bad example, everyone has times when they don't always succeed 100%! Yeah you can always have less in the day syns wise, if you are going out one evening, everyone still has to keep living even though they are dieting! During my WW i failed loads, but still lost the 3stone! I...

Ahh that sucks!! Hopefully it will go back to normal soon! Aha its ok to cave! Were they in your syns for the day or were they extra? :P x

Sounds like you have had a great first day! Well done :) I was just saying to someone else, sometimes chocolate cravings for me are worse when i've eaten loads of chocolate! When I don't eat any for a while they subside a bit! But as long as you are within your syn points for the day it doesnt...

So i looked again and they are called 'cheesecakes' but they dont actually have cheese in they have tofu! They are only 4syns each so might try and make that when i get my student loan! :D x

Yeah the problems are gunna start for me when i go back to uni/school placements!!! Just gotta be super prepared i guess! Have u bought the SW magazine yet? Got this realllllllly nice looking lemon cheese cake thing in it...tempted to try that one day!! :D x

Ahh that sucks! :( Luckily on the pill i can chose not to have a period sometimes, so I sometimes skip one so that I don't have to go through it all ahaa! Deffo good for the dieting, as it avoids the desperate need for chocolate and crying at how fat I am or something ahaha!! x

The coconut one is sooooooooooo nice! Just had one, delicious! I'm doing good today, but a little bored! :( If you click on my ticker thing then it should take you to the website to make your own! So are you the blonde or the brunette in your pic? x

Oh cool thanks! Will do :) x

I loveeee green days, as I don't eat a lot of meat anyway, and I'm all about the carbs so its fabulous! :D My issue was always cake and breads and stuff, so green days allow me to have my carbs in my meals, but not the excessive carbs and sugars in other stuff :) I love it!! I feel for you...

Aahaa i know how you feel, and the worst thing i find is the more chocolate i have the more i want! When i go without it for a while i dont want it soo much! I'm dreading my time of the month when i just want to eat everything especially chocolatey cakeyness aha! As long as you continue on...

Thanks!! :D Yeah ive been having smaller portions, but im still eating until im full, because before id have ridiculous portions and just eat until i wanted to burst! Which obviously was not the best idea aha! Also I find if there is less on the plate you get fuller quicker cus you think you are...

Yeah the plateauing thing is always a worry! I guess if you do you just gotta do more exercise and less syns? But hopefully that wont happen! :) x

Sounds like a good day! :) Are the muller light greekstyle 1/2 a syn? I just got some muller light greek style ones and wasnt sure! x

I've done alright I think! I was about to put my food diary up for the day! 2weetabix - hexb 350ml milk -hexa Sweet potato soup and weight watchers bread + butter- hexb and 2syns Mushroom risotto Curly wurly - 6 syns. I walked to the shop with my bf which is down then back up two hills so...

Yeah 10st is my goal too! :D I might get to ten stone and be like i wanna 9.5half though aha...you've never happy! Its definitely a lot nice being 11ish..i was 11st2 for a while and its great, but then i guess your not as small as you expected and u wanna be smaller! :D Sounds like a good day...

Yeah im sure you will it just takes time i guess! :D x

Welldone! I love the 30 day shred workout! I stuck to level 1 cus i have bad knees, and at first i was bright red and sweating, but after a while i could do it easily! :D Good luck with it! x

Welcome EmmaM :) good luck! Emmalou, thats a tricky one cus marks and spencers stuff is so high in fat! Maybe have a fruit salad then something else later? Dunno :( x

Thats great! I have been avoiding too much chocolate and stuff, because if I say oh its part of my syns, then i will have it allll the time, whereas if i say its a rare treat then I won't eat it soo much! I'm terrible with sweet foods, so its best to avoid as much as possible like you! :) Good...

Welcome!! :D You've done really well so far congrats!! :D I've just joined sw, and I hope I can do as well as you have!! :) x

Heya! Just found your thread! Sounds like you are doing amazingly well done! :D I have just started the c25k as well...only on day 1 though, and day 3 of slimming world aha! Glad to see it really works for people! Did you see any weight loss at the end of your first week, or did it take a little...

Good luck with it!! You are never alone on this website, everyone is so friendly! :) I hope it goes well for you, it's nice to have the support from your OH! :) x

This is a nice positive thread! I hope everyone achieves everything they want to :D It's a good point people are making about wearing vest tops and being able to buy smaller sizes...I love knowing I'm lighter and stuff, but the best part for me is getting the smaller clothes...and eventually...

I just did my first couch to 5k with the bf, as I refer jogging at night, so people don't see my fat arse aha. It was really good :) I recommend! I know it's gunna get harder but if i stick to it, hopefully i can do it! :D x

I DID IT!!! I did my first couch to five k!! :D It was very strategic because around where I live its really hilly, so we found a way to do it where its not too hilly :D I got a stitch though cus I suck at breathing while Im jogging, so need to work on that. It was really good though, got a bit...

Nice thread :D I would love to get to 10st (and even maybe 9 and a half if I reach the ten) It's only a stone and a half away, so I deffo should be able to do it! If I don't then I'm rubbish ahaha!! I will graduate as a teacher, and hopefully get my first job in a nice school :) That's about it...

I bet it has!! It's really exciting when you first start a diet as well! I know its stupid cus I probably wont have lost anything yet, but im excited to have my first weigh in at the end of my first week (sunday morning). I doubt I will lose anything for a couple weeks, but I can't wait for...

Great blog post Laura! Something that I'm about to do and that always inspires me for weight loss, is to watch tv shows like the biggest loser, or 'I used to be fat' because they are soo inspiring, these people who are like 400lbs losing like 250lbs in a year! I think if they can do it, from the...

Thats good emma, the new year is a hard time to start, but now its all over it should be easier!! I will read your mad woman ramblings in a minute when ive replied Laura! Love a good ramble aha! Might actually be starting the coach to 5k tonight, cus I dont run in the day as I hate being seen...

So today I went over my syns by like 3.5 (orginally thought it was 4.5 so not done too badly) cus I had new years day dinner at my mums, but since ive only had 10.5 syns over the past two days, I thought it wasn't too bad for just the one day! Also I had a hexb as chicken, but the 113g was way...

Yeah I think its fine for a day just gotta make sure it's not everyday! Now you've said that Tonianne I had a look into it and I think Im gunna give the couch to 5k thing a go too! Getting my bf to do it with me! I have bad knees so I will have to see how they get along with it, but hopefully I...

Woo well done Katie! :) I went over my syns today by 4.5 haha and I feel so guilty..even though the last two days I've only used 10.5 syns, so I guess it's not too bad! It's good I feel guilty though cus I need the guilt in order to not overeat! :) x

Ohh awesome i will have to look into getting some! I know the mullerlight are all free too which is good!! :) Happy new year!! :) x

Ohh awesome! Thats good to know :) not really using many of my syns atm, im sure that will stop soon, and i will be using a lot more when i get a sweet craving! :) Sounds like a gd night! Have fun x

Ditto for the moaning and ranting! Thats fair enough it is new years! Enjoy yourself and then you can get back on it tomorrow or wed! :) I wanted something sweet so just got some natural fromage frias that is syn free, with some sweetner in it, and some lemon to make a lemony yogurt, then i put...

Heya, thanks for the info and support! :) Can i have more than one hexa for a green day? I have had two hexbs so wasnt sure. I think i will mainly have green days as i dont eat a lot of meat, im mainly carbs, and i dont like veggies that much so dont think i could do EE. :) I dont really drink...

Ok so day two is going well! I have my 350ml milk allowance for hexa 2 weetabix Jacket potato, with WW beans, and 28g cheddar for 6syns i believe Diet coke chicken (113g for my hexb), with asparagus (1syn for butter), SW syn free chips, and sweet potato My portion for my dinner wasnt huge at...

Thanks Jezi! Didnt see that!! :D x

Welcome breadandbutter! :) I just bought the SW magazine and its really annoying that like nearly all the recipes are just pointed for EE, not for red/green! I wanna know how many syns/hexs the recipes are...i know i can work it out, but thats not the point! Its annoying aha. x

Ahah yeah i can understand how it might offend him! But my mum understands i want to do well on my diet, my parents arent that supportive though, which is annoying when i go there, but as long as i can resist all the **** there it should be fine :) Go you getting on the exercise! Well done! I...

Thats alright, we all do things without realising! I understand new year is hard so as long as you stick back on it from wednesday, it will be fine, just try and use moderation i guess? My mum has invited me and the bf over to hers for lunch tomorrow so im taking most of my own food with me so i...

Oh of course they wouldnt do it intentionally, but someone can make someone feel bad about something without realising they are doing it. Its subjective, if that's how a person is made to feel, even unintentionally, it can make it difficult for some people to approach a topic again because they...

I dont go to the groups as I'm too poor! But from other peoples stories I've read in this thread of their consultants making them feel bad about what they are doing even when they have talked to them, then they should ignore them if they don't listen! Of course chat to them first, but overall...

I'm a new member and doing it at home because I can't afford the meetings, but I can't get my head around EE at all, I know the amount of superfree foods on your plate limits the carbs and meats and stuff, but still to me that would be eating basically like normal, and theres a reason i didnt...

Good plan Lisa!! Aww Tonianne that kind of sucks? But at the same time if you arent that sad about it, then its probably for the best. Annoying having to move though :( x

Hey 'oldies' aha so to speak, since we are newbies lol! It is a nightmare having so much bad food in the house isnt it? I have thrown all my out, luckily most was at my mums, but its a nightmare!! Good luck in the new year everyone! :) x

Thats not too expensive for a gym actually! I just looked and my uni are doing some free classes in jan so i deffo have to get motivated to go to some of those! They are free i have no excuse! Also i just realised i have a friends wedding in cornwall in april, where i used to live, and id love...

Yeah congrats on giving up smoking btw thats great!! I have never smoked but my friends say that u need a lot less food when you smoke! Yeah i love sleep, i could sleep like 15 hours a day, so having to get to school for 8:15am is a killer! But its worth it, its a really fun job and deffo keeps...

Thats cool, going for about 10st then, same as me! Yeah the exercise part deffo starts to be more important the less you have to lose! Its soo annoying being so close to my goal, but yet so far, because a stone and a half isnt a lot to lose compared to what ive already lost, but i know its gunna...

Yea its hard when you have been dieting for a long time, not to just want to consume everything! After doing WW for so long when I stopped doing it I really went off the deep end, thats why i have gained back 5lbs aha! Im sure they will be back after new year! :)

Yeah i think 7lbs is a good goal, dunno if i will make it, hope i will!! Do you want to lose much more Laura? Lmao yes we will be skinny bi**hes aha. Well eventually might take me about a year but it will happen! Yeah im sure it is kinda embarrassing having your mum teach your friends, but you...

I wanna have lost like 7lbs or so by the end of january! Im sure if we stick too it we can do that! Woop awesome! I'm gunna go out for a long walk with the bf tomorrow, didnt get to do it today cus we were waiting for food all day and now hes doing work, but tomorrow should be good! Aww how old...

Yeah we are all jumping on the band wagon at this time of year! I don't believe in the new year being a new start, its just coincidence im here at that time lol. Its mainly cus of being off uni for a few weeks that i have the spare time to look into diets and get going! First time ive had off...

Yeah i mean syns, im used to weight watchers so i always call them points... i know what i mean aha. I have my 350ml of skimmed milk in a separate jug so I can't use any extra :) all measured up in the morning :) I did a skinny leek and potato soup and it was a tad plain but still really nice...

So today I have had/going to have once its cooked! Shreddies - Hexb Milk-Hexa A small bowl of pasta which is free cus im doing a green day Leek and potato soup - also free as I used natural yogurt in it. 3 pieces of the weight watchers bread with the soup which are my second Hexb. Finally a low...

Well done Katie! Sounds like you are doing great so far! Apparently 35ml of vodka is 4syns! Im quite lucky i dont really drink too much either so not a great issue atm! :) x

Yeah im doing really well today, finding it easy so far, but only been one day aha. I'm about to update my food diary with what ive eaten/about to eat (my asda just came so eating a bit late tonight). :D x

Heya!! I found it through the other thread page!! :D Your first day has gone well! x

Aha cool! Look forward to reading! :D x

What putting the link of your personal diary page on to a post? Just copy and paste the url from the top of your diary page to your reply. I'm sorry if im misunderstanding the question! :)

Thanks for all the advice Rosielea its helpful to hear all this stuff when you start :)

Wow you lost 5lbs even though you were eating loads! Lucky lady ahaa! You got to your target then? Congratulations! And your setting a new one?? :) I think I will be the same, when I get down to 10st I will be like meh i wanna be 9st or something aha! Im sure we will do it! :) x

Oh yeah so it is aha! I might just go leave a comment now so that it becomes one on my subscribed threads so I will know when you update! :)

Yeah it is on the list, i didnt see it at first so thought it would have to be syn points but now its not im a bit happier!! :D Thanks! x

Heya, I hope you don't mind me adding myself to the list! Just starting SW and want to lose about 7lbs by the end of jan! :) Good luck to the rest of you! :) x *punk*~*star** - 11 (0lbs lost 11lb to go) Abbysmom - 7lb (0lbs lost 7lb to go) Angwass - 5lb (0lbs lost 5lb to go) Babytreetrunk -...

Oh sorry quick question to someone that might know, I thought shreddies weren't HEXB but I have a list from Laura on the board who says they are hexb! Does that mean I can have them for that instead of using my Syns? xx

Thats good though thats hes been supportive! And yay for the bike ride, more than Ive done today...waiting for my asda shop then gunna eat some lunch then go out for a long walk with the bf!! That sounds like a really nice food day...it sounds crazy we can eat some much and still lose :) I dunno...

Hey Laura!! Yeah please do, i really really need people to be on my back...like feel free to be total b**hes aha! I honestly need it to keep me motivated and in line or I will eat cake constantly! Have you got the link to your food diary so I can follow that too?! :) x

Oh awesome sounds like a great plan!! :) I will try and remember to update it, im not at uni atm so i have lots of spare time, but when i go back im so busy that i need to remember to spare 5 mins just to update and catch up with everyone! :) Here is the link to my food diary thing, I just...

It's been a while but I am starting back on my diet again, this time I am doing SW! I thought that I would start writing my food diary on here everyday so that I can be monitored so to speak if I'm being a bit of a fatty ahaha! I need to remember to try and update every day, because when I go...

I started today to Emma!! I have an asda shop coming, so had to use some of my syns for shreddies. (about 8 shreddies for 28g :( ) but hopefully my food will come soonish and I can do a nice soup or something! :D Its nice to have someone starting at the same time! Are you gunna weigh in on...

Hey Katie! I think we all come here for the same thing, people to help and support and keep us going and interested when we want to quit..no one understands being on a diet more than those people that are on one, and have had weight issues! So im sure we can all be here to help you! :) Have u...

Thanks for the info josie! Makes sense now! Hey Emmalou, im just starting too, and im a trainee teacher, so understand the lack of time thing! Im sure if we cajole each other enough we can do it :) everyone here seems really nice! x

Yeah I was thinking I am gunna do green days because I dont eat that much meat anyway! :) Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! So on green days I can have two items for HEX A and B? I thought it was just 1 from 1 and 2 from another kinda thing, like 3 in total, or is it 4? Also if Im doing a green day should I still have 1/3 plate superfoods or do I not have to? :) Sorry for all the questions, just...

Thanks for the support largerthanmost and skf! I'm hoping this change will respark my interest in dieting! By the sounds of it you are both doing really well on it, so as long as i stick to it, it should work for me. Im still learning about the SW programme, but I think I understand most of it...

Heya, I'm starting on SW after being on WW and losing nearly 3stone, but getting a bit stuck, I want to get from the 11st7ish I am atm to 10st :) Reallllllly need the support as I suck at sticking to dieting especially when I don't see the results quickly! x

Hey everyone, I'm really interested in trying out slimming world, as I've lost nearly 3stone on Weight watchers, but just completely given up, so I thought a new diet might help me get re-interested, but I'm a student and have no money so can't afford to pay the £20 a month for sw! I was...

I did it all online and lost 3stone, although after a while I got stuck and had no motivation. The only reason i lost the original three stone I think was because my bf was hard on me, and did exercise with me! :) x

I would also love to lose a stone by xmas! Was on WW and lost like 3 stone then gained a few pounds back, and now im back down to the 3 stone loss, but would like to get down to 10st and im 11st4 atm..so a stone by xmas would be amazing..but even half a stone would be good! aha!! x

I have been using the cadburys philly like melted chocolate and having it on fruit which is a nice light snack :)

Hello! I dont pay or go to meeting either! I just do everything online! I got the calculator and the food shopping book off ebay which are both pretty important and if i get stuck i google or come on here! I weigh myself each week on a certain day and just try and do as much exercise as i can...

I was 11st7 on my weigh in today!! WOOP! Only 7 more lbs and I will be in the glorious tens ahaha!!!

Yeah its funny when I started off I was like I just wanna be in the 12s then 11s now its like COME ON TENS! aha. I got a WII fit yesterday and weighed myself today for my weigh in day, and I came out as 11st7 :D yay!! Nearly in the 10s!! Good luck with getting into the 12s! Im sure you will be...

I hope so :) seeing a ten on the scale would be amazing :)

My weigh in day has kinda changed to friday, but since ive always been a tuesday girl, im gunna post what i was this morning here anyway aha! Down to 11st8, so think ive lost about 2lbs this week :)

Wooo thats awesome!! Well done!! :D I love losing inches, it's a great feeling!!!! I weighed in today and im 11st8 so thats good...hopefully making my way into the 10s soon hehe!

Thank you!! I hope yours is going well to :) x

Im getting on a little better thanks!! Still not losing loads but hopefully it will start coming off slowly!!! :)

Ohh thats a good article! I have to say it is great exercise but it did bruise my hips a little bit!! :P x

So I just go a hula hoop because I know some people that said they do it for like ten mins a day and it has really helped tone them up a bit more and lose weight off their hips and stuff. I have only had it for 1 day but I'm getting the hang of it! I thought it was something that would be fun...

Me either!!! Been a longggggggggggggggggg time ahahah x

Ohhh thats awesome! Congrats!! :D Its gnna be amazing to get into a size 12 eventually!!!

Nah my goal is 4 stone..so a little bit more to go yet!!! Yeah i love that some of my clothes like drown me now, its amazing :D are yours starting to get looser? It is expensive having to buy new stuff so i havent shopped to much, and if i have its been stretchy stuff so i can get in it when im...

Ive lost 2lbs, so im at 11st10! I know its like a million miles away from being in the 10s but its slowly getting down there :D yay!! x

Thank you!! Yeah, i know i was stuck because i was being lazy and not counting my points but now im back counting them the weight is coming off which is good :D YAY!! Congratulations! Only a few more points till the stone mark!! Thats awesome :D ive got 6lbs to go before my three stone mark aha...

Also I did my weigh in today and ive lost 2lbs!! Woo!! :D hehe x

Yeah 4 stone does seem like a long way away but it will be 3 stone before u know it, then 2! Yea i do cook pasta and stuff to take it, its nt been so bad atm actually, taking in my meals has worked really well this week, even when they have had yummy stuff i have resisted! I do like the mousses...

Well the food that is cooked there is like a 'family dinner' so to speak...i work in like a house basically where 5 autistic people live, so we just support them through their days, so a dinner is cooked by staff each night...so im having to cook for myself cus either i dont like wat they are...

Woo thats awesome! Hopefully those 2lbs will still be off by friday for both of us!! :D I love it when friends notice you've lost weight..you just feel like saying 'YES, YES I HAVE, IVE FREAKING LOST LOADS OF WEIGHT AND IM AWESOME' ahahaa. Ahh it is difficult when your job holds u back a bit...

Well atm my weigh in day is on a friday! How about u? Having a good week?? Yeah i had a curly wurly last night, was awesome! I managed to stick to my points at work! Im a care support worker for adults with autism..so like today i had to go on to long walks! Lots of exercise! Yeah i found...

I love almonds, i usually buy them but i didnt get any this week :( ive got lots of stuff to take into work with me 2morrow so hopefully i shall be ok for the next few days..i had a sneaky weigh in and im 2 pounds down atm, so im hoping it stays off till weigh in!!! Yeah 9lbs is awesome! I...

You will do it!!! :D considering how much u have lost already 5lbs is nothing!!!! :P

Been stuck at 11st12 for a while now..JUST GO DOWN SCALES...even 11st10 would do for a while..just move further from that 12stone mark please!!!!! Seeing a 10 on those scales will be a magical moment <3

Thanks Marie! Ive been counting my points again for 2 days, but its been easier cus im off work, but from monday im going to be at work from 8am monday to 9pm tuesday...so its a bit of a nightmare :( guess i gotta remember to take enough food in with me and try and resist temptation!!!! I kno...

I am stuck at basically the same weight I have been for like 2 months :( I have barely been counting my points and I just have no motivation, I've lost 2.5stone so far and I have just started a new job where its so hard to stick to my points! I want to be re-motivated and start losing that 2lbs...

I think that eating lots of fruit is good, but I think what is meant is that for example a small banana is 95 calories, so technically that is like two points IF it was counted, so if you eat 3 bananas a day for example that's 6 points worth of calories...which eventually adds up if you are...

Ah that sucks :( im hoping to work my way down in to the tens quicker than i did through the 12s cus the 12s seemed to take forever!!!!!

Ok so i am 11st12lbs now! I must push myself to get into my tens!!! :D Do you find its harder to lose the weight as you've gotten down to the 11s? x

I lost 2lbs through jan i think so not quite what i was hoping for but considering ive started my new job and eating there is really hard, i think thats ok :) i will do better in feb!!!! :D x

I have been failing recently and so busy i havent been on much but ive just weighed myself and am surprised to have lost 2lbs woo!! :D Considering ive been struggling to count my points im quite happy :D hope you are all doing alright :) x

Im sts still, im being a big fat failure atm :( since starting my new job im doing really long shifts and soo tired i cant be bothered to do anything, and then i get food provided which is usually healthy food, but i cant weigh it out or anything to know my points. I know i could take in my own...

Ive been sts atm :( my new job is kinda messing with my diet, but hoping to start back on it today properly!!!!! :)

I am sucking in jan so far eating wise, cus of starting my new job and stuff its all going a bit balls up :( im still trying though, but ive been so tired so not doing a lot of exercise..hopefully when i get into the swing of things, it will get back to normal..but i hope to lose at least these...

It is weird that when u dont have it for only a week, u are like omg i must have it a least a couple times a week cus im struggling with this. Its really good. Might be something i try each month, but maybe with sumthing different. So maybe give up potatoes, or cereal or something for a week...

Oh god i want chocolate sooooooo bad :( resisting though, until my week is over!!!!

I only miss it when temptation is put in my face like this!!!! Im sure you will do fine over the weekend, even if it is hell!! :D

The cyber candy package i ordered for my bf came today, but i ordered a chocolate thing for myself...it was soo hard telling my bf to take it away until the 8th :( i want it so bad ahhaa.

It was good thanks. It was at the training centre, so just given a lot of information! What i tend to do is do it for 100g then divide the result by 5..so thats like 20g which is about right? :)

Thats cool! I want pizza again now aha!! I started work today..it was good...but when i gt home the sweets id ordered before xxmas had come for my bf, and i ordered some chocolate things for me..which i now cant eat until the 8th :(

Aw thats awesome! Im glad he was cool with it! I had dominos the other day too, it was yummy, but its just so ridiculous like one pizza being like 32 points!! Aw thats awesome!! England is awesome, mainly cus im here (hehe), but i havent been to liverpool in a long time so im not sure what its...

Ugh i dont get why they put them in chocolate either!!! You should tell him, but just make sure ur willing to stick to it! I told my bf to be harsh on me and not let me eat junk and its worked! :) Im sure he will be supportive! :D

Well done mrs lmc! I just went to the supermarket and didnt buy anything chocolatey either, even though i really wanted to!!! I hope this week goes quickly haha! Why cant i crave vegetables like this?? :(

Ugh omg i hate raisins in food too!! I like them on their own, but put them in anything and i cant stand them!!!! I dont understand why people ruin cakes by putting fruit and nuts in them, ugh :/

Ohh sounds like u got some good stuff!! :D Ive just been eating some of the stuff i bought! Om nom aha. I bought stuff for my lunches like cous cous, fruit, low point cereal bars etc. So gunna clean my kitchen an make my lunch for 2morrow in a bit!! My walk there and back was 8500 steps, and...

Aaha i didnt know they made hello kitty food! Sounds cute! Did u get anything good at the supermarket? Im going in an hour or so, but its a bit of a walk there so will be my exercise for the day! :D Think i will wear the pedometer to see how many calories i burn walking it! :D I had a weight...

Sounds like a good idea! Working in shops i realised i hated the general public! Ahh that sucks!! With pro points there is a trick if u ony have the calories, its not exact but it work fairly well 40calories is 1 point, so divide ur total calories by 40 and it will give u a rough idea. When...

Thats still cool though, getting to fly around europe, although i can imagine passengers are a pain in the butt!! Im going to train to teach early years, so 3-7 year olds! :) Ahh good luck!!! Im hoping to get lots of nice stuff, but on a small budget! Also u said u cant cook, but cant ur bf...

Oh air hostess? Where do u fly to? I am nervous but it should be ok!! I'm only doing it until september then im moving back to Oxford to do teacher training, so its only a temporary thing, but it will give me some good experience i think! Im going to asda later,and im going to have to resist the...

Ahh that sucks! What do u do? I'm starting a new job on tuesday as a care assistant for adults with autism and im going to have to do night shifts, sleep ins, etc. Totally not good for someone like me who likes to sleep when they like, and sleep a lot aha.

I'm sure he will! If not then i can be mean bossy diet lady :P aaha. I moan all the time, my bf has learnt to ignore it ahaha. Are you a night owl like me? Im thinking about sleeping soon, but im at that stage where im tired but not that tired :(

Oops think we accidentally broke the rules :/ Yeah my bf says he hates it when people give up on stuff...so i guess if u mention it to him u gotta be serious about it? And not get annoyed if he is hard on u if u go off it! :)

Aha say exactly that! :P I know sometimes its hard or embarrassing to say to someone, but i mean you can say that you'd like to get a bit healthier and so would he mind supporting you while u do it, cus it would mean a lot..or something. It depends on the type of guy he is on how you phrase it...

Aha that probably doesnt help no :P You are aiming to lose about the same amount as I have left to lose, I'm sure we can do it :P I think I need to start working harder because the more you lose, the harder it gets to lose :( I wanna lose the last of it by like April/May time! I think you should...

A lot of us have this problem about having a skinny other half that can eat what they want..im lucky in the fact i talked to mine about it and he supports and helps me, cus he knows its something that i want..he literally will not allow me to give up until i get to my goal cus he says 'he will...

Oh p.s. there is another thread going where we are doing no chocolate for a week..you could join that for some motivation?! x

I like cous cous, its kinda like pasta so its worth a go? I guess with the sauces it's just give them a try and see what happens. I just tend to stick tinned tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, basil, onions, tomato paste and a bit of lea and perrins together for a sauce. Basic but it works for me! :)...

Heya! I don't know if you like cous cous, but you just buy that and add boiling water and let it soak it in, a bit of butter, salt and pepper. I usually stick cherry tomatoes in it which tastes nice. No real cooking involved and u can do it at work with ur kettle, or before work!! I'm sure you...

I'm so sorry you feel that way Jenn..cus if they are your real friends, then they will honestly not give a damn if you are bigger! I know you may feel conscious about it, and yes they may think 'oh shes put on a bit of weight', cus i know that when one of my friends did, we all noticed, but not...

Its been weird when i have been clothes shopping cus in some shops a 14 dress fits me, then another a size 16 dress doesnt...its like wtf!! I know it depends on the cut and stuff..but i only wear dresses and tend to go with ones that have stretch so have been buying size 14s that will hopefully...

Ive been fine today with it...cus i havent left the house and i havent gotten any chocolate in!! I didnt have any yesterday either but since that was december it doesnt count aha!! Starting my new job on tuesday so that will be interesting to see if i crave it after :p good luck everyone!

The evenings are what ruin my diet also!!! I just get soo hungry :( i'm struggling with controlling it too! I'm about to start a job where i will be on shifts so im hoping it doesnt screw up my diet! :(

I'm changing my date from today instead of 2morrow! :D Happy new year everyone :) MrsLmc 1rd January - 8th January (no rubbish including diet coke) Nemesis 1st January - 8th January Starkissedx 2nd january - 9th January Calirose 1st January - 8th January Leighforty ? January - ...

Awesome thanks azwethink! I weighed myself the other day and was 11st13..but now im back home its gunna be hard to maintain it!! :P Hopefully it will be alright though! :D Good luck for christmas! x

Worst: Oh so many things. Going to the doctors and them being really mean to me about my weight..sometimes really rude as well. Then coming out feeling awful. Also always being 'the fat one' in my group of friends. Best: My friends reactions so far, only half way in, they have been nice!! Also...

Yes Merry Christmas to everyone. I think this is the hardest time of the year for us, so we need extra christmas support!! :D It's lovely having people to come talk to about being on a diet, because most people just don't quite get it!!! :) x

Sounds good to me too. I had a bit of stroppy fed up debate with the bf earlier cus ive gotten lazy on my diet..need to kick my butt into gear, and these January challenges should do it! :D x

Im laughing so hard at the ocd in this thread <3 i love it!!
