Yes you can. However I used this rule for losing extra weight via more exercise. I used to follow a system with my wii fit when I first started using Slimming World again and any syns I had I would burn off on the wii fit and it would result in me losing about 3-4 pounds a week instead of 1-2.

Don't give up and well done on your exercise - I love your exercise goals!!! Secondly I started on a bmi of 34.8 and I am down to 29.8 and have found that my husband who is heavier than me is losing it quicker as he has more to lose so be patient!

I have always got weighed on a wednesday. Thats when it was at my original slimming world group as a teenager and it always works well for me. Then if you are naughty at the weekend you have a few days to get over it.

Another 2 pounds off this week or 0.9 kilos! Fabulous week and even had icecream at the local zoo. Also with losing 2 pounds this week I am no longer considered obese with my bmi dropping below 30 so I am over the moon! Now another 2 stone 4 pounds before I am no longer overweight.

I was actually like that the first time I started walking. I was really unfit at the time and hadn't done any exercise in ages and it was a real shock to the system. I was actually wanting to start walking because I was off to Disney World and was concerned about all the exercise I needed to do...

wow you are doing well. I am two stone off so far this year and the husband has lost 3 stone. And it still sounds crazy to say that we have lost 5 stone between us this year. Love your pictures they are great!

Aspartame is not good on long term. It increases the risk of cancer, headaches, high blood pressure, digestive problems, and diabetes. People who consume aspartame regularly are more likely to gain weight and develop diabetes.

What kind of bar was it? If it contains milk protein (or whey protein), you might be lactose intolerant.

The best thing you can do is to change your eating habits on long term. Start by making small changes - replace white bread with whole bread, reduce your salt intake, and eat less carbs. Diets are not a long term solution.

What a rude behavior! Well, the best thing you can do is to ignore these people. Many are frustrated and try to make others feel bad just like they do. Focus on the things that make you happy, stay healthy, and ignore these rude comments.

Try not to lose your motivation. You do have the right attitude towards weight loss. One day you'll get the body you want. Be patient. Focus on eating healthy and the results will show up.

Once you start getting results, it will be easier to stay motivated. Focus less on calories and more on protein, carbs, and fats. Avoid fats and carbs in the evening. Try to not to exceed 70-80 grams of carbs a day. Eat more protein and start exercising. This will help you lose weight faster.

You can prevent this problem by having a massage at least twice a week. It can be expensive, but it really helps.

I know how it feels...No matter what you do, you can't please everyone. Some people simply don't understand that you've lost weight for yourself. If you're satisfied with the way you look, it doesn't matter what others are saying. Try to ignore them and be proud of yourself!

Eating quorn curry/ bolognaise with rice or brown pasta in the evening is not a good idea. These foods are loaded with carbs. If you want to lose weight, eat carbs in the morning or in the afternoon before 2-4 pm. Choose high protein foods in the evening. Focus more on macronutrients and less on...

Emotional eating is a major problem. Do you currently exercise? Once you start exercising, it will be easier to change your eating habits and control your emotions. You will become more self conscious.

I've tried it! It's fantastic! My muscles were a little bit sore in the first three or four days, but then I got used with the large number of reps.

This is a great form of exercise! It tones your whole body, especially your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. However, it can be harsh on your knees.

Don't worry about getting bulky - this won't happen. Women don't have enough testosterone to develop large muscles. If you want to tone up and lose weight, intensity is key. When you lift weights, do each set do failure. Perform about four sets, 8-12 reps each. During the last two sets, you...

It depends on your budget. You can get some resistance bands, as well as some adjustable dumbbels and an ab bench. A more expensive option is a home gym machine - this type of equipment is ideal for toning your whole body. TRX is a great alternative to standard gym equipment.

Use a combination of cardio and weight training. Lifting weights will tone your muscles and boost your metabolic rate. Try to work out at least three times a week. Do 20-30 minutes of cardio after training with weights. This will slim you down and help you get rid of excess water.

You could use peanut butter, olive oil, butter, eggs, avocados, almonds, nuts, and feta cheese. These foods are low in calories and have a lot of protein. Olive oil, avocados and peanut butter contain healthy fats. One tablespoon of olive oil has 120 calories.

I was really naughty this week and had lasagne and a small pot of ben and jerrys, plus little exercise. And only lost 1/2 a pound but it also put my total weight loss to date to two stone so I am happy!!! Hopefully I will do better next week plus I have a lot of exercise this week and beach at...

Another pound off and I have eaten chocolate this week this has to be the best diet ever!!!!

So I've been really depressed at maintaining for 2 weeks and then even though I didn't cheat much this week I didn't so much exercise I am now on a heavy period and god knows how I lost 1 pound. So I am happy. Its given me the urge to get back to it so after some naughty dinner I will be back to...

So even though I haven't been over the top naughty this week I dont feel like this week has been that good. But we will see tomorrow. Ive spent most of the week on a downer for not losing much weight last week (I maintained) so lets see what this week offers.

I would like a good weight loss for christmas it would be nice to drop a dress size by then. So watch this space!

I had a tumour removed earlier this year and was obsessed with how much less I would weigh without it. So I weighed myself twice a day for about 10 days and thats the worst I have ever been!!!! In the same way that after you have a baby you do the same because you want to see how much less you...

I counted a bit when I first started but not anymore I generally know what I am allowed and only have syns on a weekend. So my meals during the week are really nice but also syn free such as steamed salmon, tuna salad, egg and chips etc.

I often have my hubbys amazing syn free fruit salad. It just tastes amazing and I can eat it by the bucketload. Would love it with a muller light but they are unavailable here.

That looks like a brilliant recipe will have to try tha one.

Someone please cheer me up been really good this week and I have stayed the same! How did this happen have hardly had any syns and have power walked for just short of 11 miles over the last week. Hubby keeps telling me I will have a great weight loss next week but I cant think that far ahead!

I cant eat when I am stressed. I must be a strange one. I will over work instead to take my mind of things. On the other hand my hubby will eat for england and the whole of europe when he is stressed. I was ill earlier this year and he gained a stone worrying about me.

I never follow them to the letter. I cant anyway because fromage frais and cottage cheese is in loads of them and we cant get it locally. So I always experiment add herbs that I prefer and jazz it up a bit. For example I cant stand lentils so I avoid those recipes. I have 2 of the cook books...

Nothing ever beats a nice tuna and sweetcorn sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes. Or a tuna salad. I am also a huge fan of pulled pork and a pulled pork sandwich would work wonders!!!

I know its not exactly the answer you are probably looking for but have you thought about purchasing an air fryer from Philips? I know they are expensive but god do they do the best slimming world chips you have ever tasted!!!! You shake them about three times and two lots of fry light from raw...

My obsession is diet philly especially the one with chives in it. So cook your chicken as you would normally in the pan with fry light and onions then mix in some diet philly and white wine and you will be amazed about how creamy and how good it tastes. It is a regular in our household. Plus to...

Adding myself to the wednesday weigh in looking forward to my first one on here - bring on the day after tomorrow

They always say the first two stone is the hardest to lose so you are doing well!

Always weigh myself in a morning - totally forgot this week so weighed myself this morning and I have lost some more. Now total loss 9 lbs in 4 weeks.

I dont actually use bags but I do the cooking in the silver foil. My favourite is chicken with onions and garlic cooked in the oven inside little silver foil parcels with a little white wine (3tbsps) and I season it with tarragon and a little of the low fat softp cheese and it is amazing. I...

Only just started the diet and already lost 6lbs not at a club because there isn't one where I live but I am weighing myself via my wii fit plus.

I love an indian When I have an indian (which unfortunately isnt as often as I would like) I often have: popadoms prawn cocktail then for the main I go for the chicken tikka as it is the sauce that kills it with the calories and I have it with the pilau rice and share a nan with someone...
