    To weigh? or not to weigh?

    Does sound like a fair enough idea to me, every body is different after all, and what might be top/bottom of your bmi might look very different on you, to someone else if you know what I mean - especially as you say, you'll be toning up. I do have one caveat though, as you're not going to group...

    Dinner disasters.

    I made a pasta bake with cottage cheese/egg that was pretty revolting to my taste but I know some people think that that is fine. The worst one for me was turkey and lemon burgers - my son even said 'Mummy, these smell bad!' when I put them in front of him. I don't think grated apple belongs...

    How do you handle stress without food?

    Today, my answer is 'bloody hell, I don't know!'. I've had a really terrible day, all topped off with falling over (badly, as obese people tend to do) and cutting up all my hands and knees on gravel. Going home, with a hurty knee and heavy bags, I had to pass all sorts of takeaway places and...

    15 stone to 14 stone support

    Hello guys, can I join? I was 15st 13 when I weighed last monday (had a week holiday from class this week). My next mini target is 15 st 7 and I'm hoping to be out of here totally fairly soon - can see from reading that I'm not exactly alone in that! Good luck to me and everyone :)

    My personal "ultimate test"

    I am impressed. I have been thinking about your post, and the fact that my son has left a couple of slices of stuffed crust pizza in the fridge to tempt me with overnight, and you have made me determined. I think that being able to stand up to these things is a real signal that our attitudes to...

    Gave myself an hour off / now worrying

    It was just an hour! Although, I do find it astonishing how much food I can get down me in an hour. Firstly, are you sure it was 30 syns? Thats... about 600 calories I think and thats a fair amount for cake. If you had 30 syns worth, I bet it was a nice cake and that's fair enough. If you are...

    Do Giving Up Alcohol help?

    Well, I gave up alcohol completely in August (a month before I started Slimming World) and I actually put on weight. I believe this is because I was quite a heavy drinker previously and I think that my intake of sweets and chocolate increased because my body was looking to replace some of the...

    Swimming is good for arms, and press ups. I know weights are, but I don't know anything about those :cool:

    Best exercise for weight loss

    One that you will stick to ;) Exercise that works the large muscle groups - thighs, bum, shoulders or have you jumping up and down and getting your heartrate right up burn the most calories. So, depending on how fit you are anything like fast walking, jogging, workout DVDS. It's also worth...

    2 stone by Xmas???!

    I think it will be quite tough, and I think even more so for you than for someone with more weight to lose (like me, who needs to lose 6stone+) because anecdotally, weightloss is harder the closer you are to goal. However, I don't think its impossible. If you stick to the plan, exercise and...

    Feeling guilty and jealous......

    I don't think you should allow yourself to feel guilty as long as your friend doesn't see your jealousy. You are only human, after all. What I would do (put down the galaxy), is try and look at your friend's acheivements as not something you should measure your own negatively against, but...
