Will do, loads of luck!!

Thanks Sadie, and well done you on your loss! Well, I've thrown down the gauntlet at myself, the challenge is officially ON. 2 weeks from now, I want either my stone award or my Club 10 (which means I get the stone award too, lol). THOSE AWARDS ARE MINE!!!

Some people may think I'm completely mad for doing this, but I decided it's time to set myself a challenge after STS on my 2nd WI this morning at Slimming World. It was expected, however, as I had a close friend over to visit for a few days. I started SW on July 27th at 11st 4lbs, and on my...

Hello all - weigh in was this morning and I'm still here in the 10s, thank God! I did STS at 10st 11lbs, but that was to be expected after my friend visiting for a few days. Setting myself a challenge now to give me extra motivation - I'm aiming to hit my Club 10 target by the end of the month...

Morning all - well done on some fantastic losses! I really must check out this apple cider vinegar stuff as I have * week coming up soon and I always retain water like a flipping camel then. I stayed the same this week, so I'm still 10st 11lbs, but I'm alright with that. When I looked at what...

Good luck Carbs - I've only just hit the tens and already it's a struggle!

Thanks :) Just not feeling the same positive vibes today I think, even though I know I've really done nothing wrong! My mum's feeling the same at the moment. We have a theory that perhaps as it's only two weeks in, our bodies are going into a sort of shock mode and that's why we're feeling a...

Think I'm with you there chick, definitely going to take tomorrow's WI with a pinch of salt and just hurl myself into a 100% week so I get a nice surprise at next WI. Hard to imagine it when I'm so bloody hungry (cooking food at the moment, syn-free noodle snack) but I know after tomorrow I'll...

Afternoon all! Well, after a 5 day visit from my friend, I'm hoping just to *stay* in the tens this week - it's almost the end of week 2 on SW for me and I lost a whopping 7lbs last week, taking me to 10st 11lbs. I've been mostly good, no mad indulgences, just loosened the rules with a...

Hey all, I'm back after a wee bit of time off as I had a friend visiting from England. Really hoping she gets back safely now what with all the trouble over there... I have to admit, I am dreading weigh in tomorrow. I haven't fallen off the wagon as such, but I did loosen the rules a little...

Thankyou :) I didn't expect to leave the 11s so quickly, but I'm sure I'll be here in the 10s for quite a while, lol!

Hey everyone, hoping I can join you guys as I'm officially back into the tens after starting at 11st 4lbs last week on SW :D I'm aiming for the nines, but I have a way to go yet - I was 10st 11lbs at yesterday's WI. Got my half stone award after just a week though, so I was really chuffed and...

Some amazing losses this week everyone, big big congratulations to all of us :D And to those who are disappointed (including you, mum, I know you're not happy but 4.5lbs is fantastic), remember that it is a long term thing and not every week will have us beaming. As long as you put the week...

That's awesome to hear, keep it up! I'm doing good, had a few wobbly days but kept it all in check (how I will never know, but hope I can do it again!) and at weigh in today, I'd lost 7lbs :D It was only my first week though, so a large proportion of that would have been fluid.

Heya Rhi, was just catching up on your thread. How you feeling today then chick? Hope it's all going good, positive thinking, as you said before just imagine the pounds melting off and people's faces when they realise they haven't recognised you :D

Thanks Sadie, I'm so bloody pleased! My new ink is getting closer and closer, lol, I can almost smell the Dettol spray! Totally not expecting the same from now on though, it was mostly fluid I'd say, but roll on next week :) Now my head is spinning with wanting to go look at lots of lovely...

Hey guys :) I've only been on this lovely thread for a week, but it's time for me to move down a notch - I'm officially into the tens after losing half a stone, taking me to 10st 11lbs! :D I am gonna check in every once in a while if that's ok though (please? lol) to see how everyone's...

Afternoon all, congrats to all the losses after today's weigh in and fingers crossed for everyone still waiting :) So, week one is down - and I lost 7lbs!! Half a stone in my first week, I am chuffed to BITS and have a lovely half stone award to motivate me! I've gone from 11st 4 to 10st 11...

My God. I've popped on this thread a few times and always found that it really perked me up - but I was already perky anyway having just started SW last week, lol. Tonight's the night before my first weigh in, and I've been feeling a bit glum despite doing really well on week one; but this...

Afternoon all - so many posts to catch up on, wow. I'll get a read through everything tonight as I'm juggling the kids/wondering what to cook and housework right now. It's my first weigh in tomorrow, nervous isn't even the word but I think I'll be happy enough even if it's only a lb loss. I...

Finally, I get the chance to catch up! Well done on the losses, and to those who are feeling disappointed - you know what to do, get back on the wagon and don't look back :) All turned out perfectly fine after all with the bf, crossed wires. And, I'm extremely proud to say, despite LOADS of...

Thanks Ninnins for the recipe. I'm having a proper rubbish day today. Haven't overeaten or anything, but could easily do so as my bf did a hasty disappearing act last night with no explanation. Haven't heard from him since, and we're normally attached at the hip, so I'm upset and deflated...

Oh God, yes please! How could I turn that down?

I'm loving the positivity on this thread, lol! Hi Susie and Sofartogo, I'm one of the newbies, joined SW on Thursday gone. Well, I just went out to the shop - walked instead of taking the car - and ended up going for a 45min trip round the backroads. I reached the shop (it's only 10 mins...

Thatta girl! It's good you're looking for reasonable losses each week, that's what I'm doing this time too. As I said, last time I 'dieted' I had myself tortured and a few times ended up binging just because I felt like I hadn't lost enough. I'm wary of keeping that in mind in two weeks' time -...

I think the best way to look at it is to put that week behind you and look forwards, Vic :) So you've had to have a couple of sandwiches - that was then, and this is now, so ban the sad faces and carry on as you were chick! The more you dwell on it, the less energy you'll put into boosting...

Hi Amazon and welcome :) I'm new here too and just started SW on Thursday - like you, I was stunned at how supportive the group was. I was actually just going to go it alone online, but decided to join with my mum and now I'm so glad I did. I'd heard so many great things about SW I had to...

It's Saturday and Day Three...oooo-er. I have to put in here that I am *so* pleased with myself :D Last night was really hard - I wanted to to give in so badly and munch on sweets, I swear they were almost talking to me - but I didn't! I decided to have a pint of water and see how I felt...

Heya Vic (and hello to everyone else, Happy Saturday!), I'm not really qualified to give tips yet, but I'll do my best - if you feel you've had a potentially dangerous few days, just spend this weekend drinking plenty of water, try to get out for a walk or two and fill up on the healthy stuff...

Very good idea on the ink front! That's one thing I've been wondering - can you save your syns through the week and enjoy them at the weekend? I did this with points when I did WW and it worked a treat. It'd be great if I can with this, my weekends are for relaxing and nothing else.

Hello Lollypop and congratulations on that loss, it's fantastic! The bath bombs sound amazing Sadie. There's a wee shop in town here called Spirit that sells something similar, definitely homemade. I spend far too much money in there, lol, it just happens to have all my favourite sort of stuff...

Day two and I've tackled my grocery shop - pretty impressed if I say so myself! Got tons and tons of fruit and veg, only I was quite selective as I know myself too well; if I bought the first thing that came into view or anything I haven't tried before, I'd be unlikely to eat it. So, I...

Hi Ali, Sounds like you're off to a flying start! That lightbulb moment....eek. I know it so well, lol! I have to say, I've only been on this site a couple of days and it's a total lifesaver. Every time I log on, I read through a few posts and straight away I find myself 100% motivated and...

Hi Rhi, Well, whether it's 2.5lbs or 4lbs is irrelevant really - isn't it? A loss is a loss, chick, so well done on that. You seem to be perservering so bloody hard and you deserve that loss. Now, I'm no expert, but I do want to throw a suggestion into the mix. You can ignore it if you like...

I just had to post here as I'm also guilty of falling foul when it comes to the fizzy drinks, both diet and otherwise. Having gained 2 stone over the last year or so, I know it's mainly down to the fact that I stopped drinking herbal teas and began pumping myself full of sugary coffee, tea and...

A stone in 3 weeks? That's awesome, well done you! A loss is a loss, and I think at that rate of going I'd be happy even if I had a few weeks where I stayed the same - amazing work.

Finally found the SW Thursday weigh in thread! I'm not due for my first weigh in til next week (6 days and counting), but it makes sense to record it here, if that's alright peeps. I've started at 11st 4lbs, and I'm not setting any expectations for next week - whatever goes, goes and I'm...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I'm really glad I found this place (thanks to my mum, actually!). Funcurls - that challenge is tempting, but I think I'll leave challenges until I've made some progress just sticking to the plan. I've got a tendency to jump in feet first...

Lol thanks Mum :)

Hello all, hope you don't mind if I join in. Can I just add, it's nice to see someone with more ink than me - that means you, sleepytimesadie, lol! Mind you, once I get to goal I intend to have my sleeve in progress finished :) So, I've just joined SW, first class was today and I'm currently...

Thanks Catherine :) Well, that's my first day almost over with - just back from my walk (managed to haul my backside out despite not feeling bothered) and I'm really happy with how it's been. I only decided on Tuesday evening that I needed to tackle my weight; in two days, I've gone from...

Thanks Irene - day one almost done and dusted! :) I'm on my way to my size tens again!

Hey girls, hope you don't mind if I join in? I've started SW today and my starting weight is 11st 4lbs - my first goal is 10st 7lbs then I'll worry about the rest (aiming for around 9st in the end!). Well done everyone on your losses so far, hope I can add to them next week at my first weigh...

Hi Rhi, Just started reading through the diaries (yours was first, lol) after joining the forum last night. I wanted to offer you my support as well - believe me, I know exactly how tough this weightloss stuff is! I notice you've got your weigh in tonight - every time you think of those evil...

Alright. I haven't written a diary since I was 12, but it kept me sane then and I'm hoping it'll do the same now - especially now. I had my first SW meeting today, got all the paraphenalia, the pep talk, the motivation from watching other members receive their awards and my own Club 10 target...

Hi girls :) It does seem like a fantastic site, I have to say. I had a long lurk last night before joining and found myself really motivated just by reading through everyone's posts! My first meeting is tomorrow morning. I'm not really nervous as I'm taking my mum with me, she knows the...

Hello all, I'm new to this site, my mum recommended it. I had a read through last night and decided to join as I'm starting Slimming World tomorrow morning. I only just built up the courage to weigh myself today, and I was stunned. I've managed to somehow gain two stone after basically...
