An inexplicable 2lb on for me this week - that puts me back up to 11.6. I don't even know why. So disappointed. I have stepped up the running this week and I've lost an inch from around my waist, so a two pound gain has floored me. Such a let down.

I hope so! I can't say my shape has changed yet - I suppose it's too soon, but I do feel firmer, if that makes sense. Hopefully you're both right and I'll see a big difference soon. Must keep my motivation instead of hitting the cake! Thank you for buoying me up!

2lb off for me this week, taking me to 11st4lbs. I'm a bit disappointed, to be honest. I'm on week 5 of Couch to 5k and I was expecting that to help but it doesn't seem to be making any difference at all!

No change for me this week - not a good start but onwards and upwards!

Right I'm checking in for the start of the challenge - I'm 11.4 today which is an awful gain (but it was a really good holiday). So I'm aiming for 10st at Christmas - 18lbs to lose. Fingers crossed!

I think I'm going to go for a full stone. I'd like to be 10 stone on Christmas day. Fingers crossed because I seem to be stuck and I'm going away for the weekend...

Me too. I just want to get there instead of faffing around nearby, up a bit, down a bit. I can't imagine ever being at target though.

I failed! No stamina. Is there a new challenge?

I've stayed the same again! I am stuck - and I'm running out of time!

Stayed the same again this week - I think I'm stuck!

Stayed the same for me this week - but after the week I've had that's such an achievement!

Those 2lbs are back off for me this week - I'm so pleased to be back on track!

Bad week for me 2lbs on. I knew this would happen - I always take my eye off the ball...

That's 3lb off - I just need to keep my focus...

Forgot to post yesterday - 10st 13oz so that's a good loss for me! Fingers crossed I don't self sabotage this week!

1lb off for me - back on track - 7lb left to go!

1lb off for me - it's going in the right direction but it's slow. My back is better now though so I'll be running again this week. Fingers crossed!

Me too! I've hurt my back so I've hardly moved all week but 4lbs has come as a shock! Well, it's helped my focus, if nothing else.

I've stayed the same this week - no weight lost. I managed to get some old jeans on though, so I must have lost some inches.

I'm all confused now! I think I missed a week because I couldn't get online to record my loss. I'm definitely 11st now and I'm aiming for 10 1/2

2lb off for me this week taking me to 11st exactly. Only 7lbs to go to reach my target - I can do this!

Can you put me down for 1lb off, please. Not a fantastic start, but considering the weekend I had it's good enough! Onwards and upwards!

Well if there's 13 weeks I'll go with 1lb a week and that should take me to 10 stone 5 and I'd be thrilled! I think I'll weigh in on Sundays. Fingers crossed!

Can I join? We've had a few internet problems here recently so I've just seen this post now, but a big summer challenge sounds good to me! I'll be doing 5:2 (I love it!) and a new Jillian Michaels dvd so hopefully I'll be super svelte by the summer!

Good idea. I need to do some forward planning, I think. I'm really pleased with the 5lbs but I know it won't stay that way - I'm hoping for a 1lb loss a week - does that sound right to you?

Well I'm on my third fast today and I'm thrilled with how it's going. The fasts are manageable, I drink much more water than usual and go to bed earlier - all good habits! I've lost five pounds so far and I feel much more in control. The hardest part is working out the calories of the evening...

Hello - I'm new to the 5.2 diet - I haven't even finished the book yet but I know a few people who swear by it and the health benefits look really good so I thought I'd give it a try. Any tips for someone just starting out? I've never counted calories before - I've lots to learn!

Can I join you? I've put half a stone on since I stopped going to group and I keep losing and gaining back the same two pounds - I've got a stone to lose overall. I just can't seem to get motivated - maybe I don't really believe I can get there. A bit of SE should help, shouldn't it?

This is exactly what happened to me first week too! No idea why, but it was so dispiriting. All I can say is the same as everyone else - maybe you're not eating enough? I know I was starving all of my first week and put a pound on. Someone at my group suggested that it's the body's way of coping...

I know this thread is old but I've got to comment on it - firstly I'm really missing dumplings and secondly, I'm from the North East! North Tyneside! There's loads of us about, isn't there?

We can do this! 10 stone is on it's way to us! Just in time for Easter and all those chocolate eggs...

Can I join? This is exactly where I am just now - hoping to be into the 10's by Easter. I've not had a great start, which is really disheartening because I thought everyone had a big loss at first. I need some friends to keep my spirits up! This is not a waste of time - I can be 10stone again!

Hello! I'm new to minimins and I just found this thread and I have to join in! I did the Shred last summer and it was absolutely horrendous - but it worked! I lost about half a stone and I had loads more definition in my arms, legs and stomach - I was stronger too! It was hard, although it...

Me too! I know you started this post last week but I've just seen it now and I wanted to join in! I've started doing Slimming World at home now too. I went to a meeting to get the information but I can't afford to pay to get weighed every week (three babies has left me with weight to lose and...

I'm new to Slimming World and I just wanted to ask something which is probably really obvious to everyone. It's about mince! For the last two weeks I've been able to get extra lean mince at my local supermarket, which my consultant told me was free on Extra Easy. This week the mince just...

Hello! I'm joining in! I've just stopped breastfeeding and I really want to lose my baby weight. After three big babies I've got quite a bit to lose - around three stone. I've never dieted before (except for a brief flirtation with Weight Watchers which I HATED!) but I'm keen to try Slimming...
