UNIVERSITY! I have officially settled at Southampton and my 2nd year starts on Tuesday and my next group weigh in is on the following Thursday. I'm vaguely excited at this prospect, because I think i'll just draw a line under the past (3) weeks and maybe I'll be on my way to gaining more...

Yeah I have been really busy, although I have put on 3lbs because I've been so worried and nervous (driving test tomorrow) plus its *week too. Next week I'm starting at my uni group so hopefully having only my food to have and not have the family puddings and also the other "traps" I'm just...

Aww stay positive hun! If you worry about it, it will put a downer on the rest of your week. Like you said, your driving is something positive in your life right now so if you can keep positive about that then you can do anything! I get that you're feeling down about yourself (i've been there...

Thursday 15th September a.k.a Epic Fail Thursday Well today was a good day as I got to catch up with my best friend. The down side is that she brought double chocolate cookies fresh from Sainsbury's bakery. This was the ULTIMATE TEMPTATION. Sadly, I crumbled just like my devious cookie...

Yeah I've tried soy sauce (it's free) but I find it too salty. Good tip though! :) Liv xxx

Wednesday 14th September 2011 Today has been.. interesting! I spent the majority of it waiting for a phone call from work that never came, then when I had a driving lesson I got into an accident (no harm done, just really shook me up):cry:. Well here goes: B: 2 Poached eggs and 2 slices of...

Cocktails? At least you had fun!! lol! Dont you worry that has happened WAY too often to me in the past! Glad you're back on track hun :) Liv xx

It may not be worth upsetting someone, if he feels really strong about it. However if it what makes you happy then why should it matter? Happiness is the main thing :) Had the piercing convo with the boyf this evening.. went better then expected! His conditions were that I dont stretch my ear so...

Monday 12th September 2011 After the success that was yesterday, I have found out that 3 slices of WW Malted danish bread is a HEB! So I've still got a slice to go through! I've also decided to drink more water as a lots of people say its benificial to losses So far B: 2 poached eggs, 2...

After eating dinner I feel stuffed but a happy stuffed not a uncomfortable feeling :) Looks like I'm slowly learning to say no! May have a tea just to fill up my HEA as I dont really have that much milk or cheese every day. All in all A WIN today. Liv xx

Just have a crazy temptation for cheese on toast... :( Temptation DEFEATED! :D

** my internet hasn't been working well

Sorry for the late reply to these posts, my internest , but thank you ladies, You are so kind :) I really needed an outside perspective! Its so so easy to think you're the only one with all the problems! Weigh in was horrid put on 3lbs! However it is only a number!! I have been good since thenm...

A Recent Epiphany Since I've last posted I’ve had a hectic week. It’s been mainly hectic with my thoughts; I’m still an unemployed student with nothing to do all day but to contemplate. I got rejected from job number 5, so I have plenty of time on my hands. I've had to really think about what I...

Odd question, but how much weight did you lose before you noticed any changes? (noticed them yourself not have people tell you) Liv x

Where did you get the reciepe for syn free roulade? Liv x

Cai, thats so nice. Thank you for being so supportive :) I just needed a big rant! I guess I needed a bad day just to get it out of my system! It goes to show that losing weight, no matter what plan you choose is going to be hard at times, because you're changing a lot about yourself. You change...

OMG I AM DISGUSTING Yesterday was great slimming world wise, I used my syns (and not go over), used both HEA &B. I also ate free and superfree food until I exploded! Today however, is not so good. I have recently just reviewed my Uni work over the last year and I have tried to organise it...

Charlotte, Well done on your results! I bet you'll have a fantastic time at uni!:D:D:D As for the weight loss, it just shows that you're human and that you can't always be on plan, because life isn't so easy. Most of the time for me temptation to overindulge is more often then not!:p Once you...

Looks like a good day :) What do you put in your speed soup? Liv xxx

My uni is like 2 and 1/2 hrs away from home so I have to live on my own. I know I have a group at uni to go to, but I just have to be extra careful. I know its something that will be sabotaging me! I hope that if I really set myself in my SW ways, maybe some of it will stick! I just think that I...

Yeah i love it too! I'm watching Biggest Loser Australia right now :P I wouldnt want to go through what they do though, some of it seems pure mean! Liv xxx

Hey Charlotte, Nice diary, looking really well this week! Going to uni can be hard, as other people may steer you off track. As long as you are determined, it will be ok, possibly easier as you may have more control over food now then you do now. I've just finished my 1st year at uni, and...

lsf666: As others have said, You've done so well, but it's your choice to not go anymore! Maybe there is another group you could go to instead? I think maybe it'll be ok if you just stick at it. We're all human at the end of the day, its a journey not magic. Blips are there to keep us...

Hey guys, sorry to butt in but is the biggest loser work out any good? I'm thinking of trying something do my body magic! Liv xxx

Tuesday 16th August 2011 Charlotte: I find that keeping a diary really keeps me focused! Reading everyone's stories also helps as I feel inspired to stick with it! I'll have a peek at your diary. I love pinching ideas! :) Weigh in: -3lbs :) Got my 1/2 Stone :D:D:D:D I'm so happy! Today has...

Having only recently started plan a fw weeks ago, this story is exactly what I needed to kick me into action. Truely inspirational! Well done for staying at target, just shows that there is no going back! Liv xxx

Monday 15th August 2011 This is my 2nd attempt to write this! Silly internet! Yesterday was a bit of a fail :sigh: as I blew out all my syns by stuffing my face after i logged out of here :/ A whole box of Turkish delights in one sitting. :break_diet: Its like I have no self control! After...

Oh I'll eat anything! Thanks for the tip! I'll will be on the reciepe pages :) Liv xxx

Hey everyone! Just thought that as I'm heading back to uni in 5/6weeks ish, I really want to get some slimming world reciepes under my belt. I find that my last year at uni I was stuck with chicken, mince, chicken or mince as that was my culinary expertise! I really really really want quick...

Great stuff you've got here! Keep it up! :) Liv xx

This tips are great! I am going to get the toner from Argos when I get the money :) Liv xx

I try to have a side salad with Lunch and Dinner such as lettuce and cucumber. I also top my weetabix with mango or bananas. I think it makes a lot of sense, helps with your 5 a day! Liv xx

I will have a sneak peak at your diary! :) Update: Muller light (toffee - still free) for pud :P :D Liv xx

Sounds pretty sensible! Just lots of people at group I know seem to wait after weigh in to have a big blow out. I just wondered if it was just those people or was it a common thing! my weigh in is 6pm and I dont usually eat till after weigh in. I never thought of wearing the same clothes! Liv xx

What do you guys do on Weigh In Day? Do you eat less that day at all? Save your syns till after weigh in? Liv xx

Syn free onion bhajis? Sounds great :) Your food plan looks great! Slimming world chinese?! AMAZING! I so want a place near me to do so! Curly Wurly's a good tip, I've needed an alternative to crunchies (9 Syns) Also in this weather a frozen banana, tastes just like banana ice lolly- if you've...

Sticky Chicken? Sounds good? Could you post the receipe? I know how Easy it is! Sounds silly! I am doing ok, although when I go back to Uni in Oct, I may struggle a bit, as my skills of cooking arent fantastic! At least cooking for myself means that I can experiment and only I can complain!! I...

My weigh in is Tuesday! I know it will come soon enough but I feel really good about this week, maybe it wont show for a while yet! I love this site! I did have a profile on facebook just for slimmingworld stuff, and I have found some really helpful posts on there, but I think this site is...

If you go on Tutorials then there should be some links on there to help you get a ticker :) I'm finding extra easy...well easy!! :) I'm finding it hard not to stuff myself with 10 bars of chocolate, but now that I've got this far, I'm used to looking forward to that little bit of chocolate I'm...

Like many others on here, I wanted to write my own weight loss journey and share it with others. I'm new to MiniMins, and have been going to Slimming World for 4 weeks, with a total loss of 4lbs. My first week was great and I lost 3lbs! This is not my first attempt at Slimming world so I got...

Hi everyone! I've just joined MiniMins Yesterday and am still new at this! I'm a member of Slimming world and I have been going for about 4 weeks, with not an impressive loss to date! This is about my 4th time trying to lose weight and I really want this to be the last straw! I really dont...
