Oh that means its three weigh jns to mine! Got a trip to Paris next week so not sure I'll manage 7lbs in 3 weigh ins.

Woohoo! Go Bubbs - you can do it! Got my four stone this week! Am dead on 4 stone lost so next target is 4.5. This will take me over halfway to target!

Just found out I'm one of the nominees for our group - not sure when the winner will be announced. Do people vote again out of the nominees? I definitely wouldn't go through to regionals as although I've lost nearly 4 stone, I am still too big, but I'm not expecting to win anyway! There's...

Hello! Finally made it to this thread after months in the 18's! :-)

Am finally out of here!! See you all in the next thread!

Pound off for me this week - one more to go to be out of the 18's!

I try to ignore that bit! I work further up from there, on Studio Way, so luckily it's not really walking distance!

Hi all. Still here! Had three weeks of half pound losses - now at 18st 1.5lbs. So near! I'm from Herts too, just - in Barnet and work in Borehamwood!

Hi all - realised I haven't been here in a while! This month has been a bit uppy/downy - only lost about a pound in a few weeks thanks to a couple of gains. Am on 18st 2.5lbs now so those 17s are nice and close!! Also noticed that when I updated my statistics my BMI is now in the 30's!! Woohoo -...

Looks at BMI.... another goal achieved! :D Next is to get into those 17's - only 3lb to go. :)

Well i reached one of my goals last week, which was to get my 3.5 stone award. My next goal is to get into the 17s - that's 4lbs away. That will also put my BMI in the 30s so no longer morbidly obese for me! Then another couple of pounds will get me my 4 stone!

Hi Lucylou - I've been doing SW since the end of September so about 7 1/2 months. I lost my first 2 stone in the first three months and then it's taken me about 4 months to lose the other stone and a half. xx

1.5lbs off for me and got my 3.5 stone award!

1.5lb off this week so am now 18st 3.5lbs - I got my 3.5 stone award too! Hopefully not got too much longer left in this thread!

3lb off for me this week! Pleased with that - had a few weeks of small losses and a gain so it's put me back on track! Now only half a pound off 3 1/2 stone! :)

Oops forgot to post in here after weigh in. Congrats to all the people moving downwards! I'm still here and will be for a while! Put on 1.5lbs this week but with due cause as went out for my friend's 30th and ate too many things i shouldn't.

Yes, it's medium fat soft cheese so you can have 75g for EE Healthy A choice, the same as Philadelphia light. ETA: Oops - read that wrong! Thought you meant their soft cheese! Yes, if it's the cheddar it's 45g as it's a reduced fat cheddar.

Well done Lola! 2lbs off for me this week - now smack bang in the middle of this bracket at 18st 7lbs! Got 2.5lbs until my 3.5 stone award - am hoping if I'm extra good this week I can get that next week - although I do have a 30th birthday to go to on Saturday!

2lb off for me this week - only 2.5lbs to go to my 3.5 stone award now so am going to be extra good this week! My BMI is spurring me on too - not long till I'm out of the "morbidly obese" category! Think it should change at exactly 18st.

Got 2.5lbs to go now until my 3.5 stone award - so the next goal is close! 6.5lbs to get into the 17s and into the 30s for BMI!

I've decided that after getting my 3.5 stone award (5lbs away) my next goal is to get into the 17's by the end of April - this is 10lbs away, and I have 5 weigh ins in April! So doable I think.

I'm going to join this but will add my target after my final March weigh in tonight!

Well done everyone! This week seems to be bringing lots of big losses - perhaps the thought of Spring coming has spurred us all on! Looking at my BMI is keeping me going at the moment - not long and I'll be out of those troublesome 40's. :)

Well done Bubbs - we still seem to be loosing at pretty much the same speed! It was my six month this week and I got my 3 stone. Woo go team!

Woo my determination last week obviously paid off - 3lb off for me this week and I finally got that 3 stone shiny! Am now 18st 10lb - would like to lose another 3lb next week to get into that bottom half. :D

As I've said in other places we're here for you if you need us Bubbs. And you're right, concentrate on you for now rather than SW. If you need to go off plan a little bit then do, you'll soon catch up when you're ready. xx

My sister gave me one of her old cardigans from Topshop and it fit me! Granted, it's meant to be an "oversize" cardigan and on me it's normal sized, but still, I haven't worn anything from Topshop for about 10 years. I won't get into any bottoms from there for a very long time though!! :D Not...

Just do what you can Bubbs. :) I got my 3 stone award last night, so my next goal is now 3.5 stone - 5.5lbs to go. After that it's to get into the 17's, which at the same time will take my BMI into the 30's - 10lb to go for that!

Mega chuffed - 3lb off and got 3 stone award. :D

Well right now I'm 18st 13lb and size 22/24 on the bottom and 20/22 on top. I started out 21st 11lb and size 26 but they were big 26s! My initial theory was that I'd drop a size every two stone - this seems to be correct at the moment!

Well done ColJack! I forgot to post earlier in the week - 1lb on for me this week but not enough to take me back into the 19s. Am now 18st 13lb. Am determined to get my 3 stone this week (18st 11.5lb) and it's been pretty good so far. I know why I gained this week so not too bummed out. I blame...

Mine's definitely going off my top half faster than the bottom - although maybe that's because being pear shaped my top half was smaller to start with, so might be more noticeable? Anyway have had lots of comments on how thin my face is looking and I no longer have a permanent double chin, and...

DYJHIW everything in the house seems to go wrong, one thing after another! First of all our freezer broke down, then the boiler, then the kettle decided to leak out of the bottom, then the pipes under the boiler decided to leak down into the bank below us! Luckily we rent, so all but the kettle...

Like Bubbs and Erm, I also threw away a whole load of smaller clothes a couple of years ago. I keep thinking "that top would have fit me now!". The only thing I've purposely bought that's too small is jeans - it's how I measure my inch loss! When I started I was a 26, and bought a pair of 22s...

1.5lbs off for me this week! Had a bit of a big weekend so am quite pleased with that! Annoyingly am only 1/2 pound off my 3 stone award! Next week, next week! Am now 18st 12lb.

I think that's the point I'm at as well Jodi. Since Xmas, the weeks I've been for walks or just generally been more active have been the weeks I've lost 2lb or more.

Good afternoon everyone. My name's Rachel and I'm a serial weigher. :D I tend to weigh every morning with PJs, and then without. And sometimes in the evening too - around 7pm as that's my weigh in time. I know that my scales are roughly 1.5 pounds above the official SW ones. Like Erm said...

I tend to not avidly count my syns after weigh-in, but still keep to plan, so I might have some low-fat cheese or a fun size chocolate bar but not fish and chips or a pizza. During the day before weigh in I only use a couple of syns so usually have a lot to play with anyway.

We certainly did! :D Hoping to not spend as long in this one! This is a biggie though - 18 stone exactly puts my BMI below 40 so want to get there as soon as I can!

Hello! Finally made it here after a couple of months in the 19s! Lost 2.5lbs tonight which got me to 18st 13.5lbs so just scraped in! :D

2.5lbs off for me. V chuffed with that as it puts me in the next lot of stones down and am now only 2lb away from my 3 stone!

2.5lbs off for me, which makes me 18st 13.5lbs! So after what seems like forever I get to say goodbye to the 19s! Hopefully see you all soon in the next thread! :D

DYJHIW - Your new fridge freezer won't arrive until Weds morning, so you can't do a big food shop until at least that evening as you'll have to let it sit for about 12 hours. And you really could have done with doing one yesterday! At least the fridge bit of our old one is still working!

Would like to get into the 18's tonight - have to lose 2.5lbs to do it. Def want my 3 stone by the end of March - have got 4.5lbs to do that!

Tesco also do a FF Greek Style Yogurt - it's about 60p for a 250ml tub. I like it better than the Total 0% - not got that "dry" taste so not as cloying.

Well done Lucia! Hopefully I'll see you next week! If I can lose 2.5lbs that is! And welcome back Erm! :D

I'm in love with these at the moment! Have been having the spoonsize with milk, heated up in the microwave for 2 minutes with a banana chopped on top. Goes like chocolate porridge!

Thank you Lola. It's just that some weeks you could do with the boost of a 2 or 3lb loss to keep you on track!

Neither am I Bubbs - just a B cup! And they're more evenly aligned now rather than my stomach entering the room first. :)

There's no doubts about Peanut being the new flavour my consultant told us all! To quote from our group Facebook: "News flash....... There will be a new hifi available from early march ....Peanut Heaven. Excited?"

I realised today that my stomach no longer sticks out further than my boobs. :D

There's a thread about it in the syn values section....

I'm not excited at all - peanuts are hateful! Hope they don't get rid of any of the other flavours to make way for this one!

The rice time info is on the SW website - on the bottom right of the homepage - click on the "changes to the branded foods book". They say on it that they realised the nutritional values on the packaging weren't correct and have worked with the manufacturer to calculate the correct syn values.

I'm sure you can get blocks of the hard mozzerella? i,e the stuff you get grated - that's slightly different to the balls.

Ours told us there were peanut ones coming soon!

Still here! :( Only losy 0.5lbs this week. I really thought I'd lose more. Had an upset stomach yesterday so maybe that had something to do with it? Not getting out of the 19s is starting to be a bit demotivating, been here since the start of December!!

1/2lb off for me this week. Am a bit disappointed as I felt I was pretty much 100% this week and thought I'd at least lose a couple of pounds - we had to do a food diary for group and I averaged about 12 syns a day. Had a funny tummy yesterday so not sure if that had an effect?

So my goals now looks as follows: - 3lbs until I see an 18 on the scales - 5lbs until my 3 stone award - 12lbs until my 3 1/2 stone - 1 stone 3lbs until my BMI is under 40 I'd like to get my 3 stone by the end of Feb to start with!

I flew on EasyJet this time last year. I was 21.5 stone and size 26 bottom. I needed a seatbelt extender but the seats themselves weren't too bad. I was sat next to my husband so I think we just raised the arm in between us for most of the flight, plus I sat next to the window as that usually...

The Onken ff natural yogurt doesn't have any added sugar/sweeteners so isn't affected by the change - it's just the ff strawberry, vanilla and apple/mango.

2lb off for me this week. Glad of that after last week's STS! Also - should we start taking off those people who haven't participated(I guess those who've lost nothing?) to keep the list clearer? Acc 35lbs (3lbs lost - 32lbs to go) Aesir 47lbs ( 5.5lbs lost~ 41.5lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (5lbs...

Sounds a bit rubbish KittenKat! You're still a member after all! 2lbs off for me last night. Pleased with that - just need to keep it going so I get that every week from now on - Jan and Feb have been slow months for me.

2lbs off this week! Am now 19st 2.5lb. So close to the 18s I can smell them! Updating my stats I noticed I am now in the next lot of 10s down (260s rather than 270s) which is nice! :D

Hello and welcome to the teens! May your stay with us be brief! :D

Most of the fat free natural yogurts are syn free - just check on the side to see if there's any added sugar - if there is then it won't be syn free. Yeo Valley and Onken fat free natural yogurts are good ones - as are Total 0% greek yogurt, and Tesco fat free greek style yogurt.

DYJHIW - your mum and 2 sisters are all teachers so all have a lovely week off this week, whereas you're not so have to go to work!

Does anyone know anywhere selling cheap exercise bikes? Under £45 preferably!

Am feeling a lot more hopeful this week. We had two italian meals out this weekend, but think I managed to make ok choices and saved my A choice and at least 10 syns for each evening which meant I didn't go over. Weigh in tonight so we shall see! Have to lose 5lbs to get out of the 19s so don't...

Husband just exclaimed "where has rest of your bottom gone?!" :-D

Woohoo Erm! Welcome! :D

I got a Jamie Oliver/Tefal food processor in Robert Dyas, reduced to £50 from £100. It's much better than the equivalent Kenwood - higher power, more blades, sturdier build. Can't wait now to try and some recipes and use it!!!

Still blimmin' here!! STS this week so still 19st 4.5. I know why I STS so not too bad but jeez I seem to have been in these 19s for ages!

I keep getting comments about how much thinner my face is, which is nice!! Even more so since I had my shoulder length hair cut back to chin length last week. It was the last bit of me to look fat, if that makes sense, so probably right to be the first bit to get thin again!

STS for me this week. I know why though (night out on Saturday with lots of wine, then hangover food on Sunday!), so that's not too bad!

I had the winter veg and goats cheese salad with added chicken. It was yummy. Counted about 4 syns for the cheese on top of a HEX A, and another 2 for any oil. The dressing is red wine vinegar, which is free. And obviously left the bread sticks.

Light squirty cream is only 1 syn for 12.5grams - this is perfect for topping a mug of hot chocolate!

I've been treating myself to a bag of Cadbury's mini animal biscuits. 5 syns for a bag - you get about 8 little biscuits, like having a choc digestive but seems more satisfying because of the little pieces!

I find that even if I do quite a detailed search, the right item always appears about halfway down a long list!! Needs to be more intuitive with the searches I think - or have the ability to search by brand, and then within brand like the website.

Right. Got my 2.5 stone award on Monday, so my goals are now: - 5lbs to reach the 18s - 7lbs to get 3 stone (would like this by March!) - 1 stone (or just over) to get my BMI under 40

None in the massive Tesco in Borehamwood this lunchtime.

2lbs off this week! Evened up my 1lb gain from last week. :D Acc 35lbs (3lbs lost - 32lbs to go) Aesir 47lbs ( 3lbs lost~ 44lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (6.5lbs lost - 7.5lbs to go) Alwyn 29lbs (0lbs lost - 29lbs to go) Babygirl1987 (0lbs lost - 40lbs to go) Beki 40.5lb (0.5lb GAINED ~ 41lb to go)...

2lb off for me this week - still in these 19's though!! Taking forever to reach the 18s! Am now 19st 4.5lb. Getting there! :D

Lost 2lbs this week which has evened out my gain from last week. Hoping for more next week once the anti-biotics are fully out of my system! Oh and I got my 2 and a half stone award too! :D

It's not!! :D They changed the formula so that all but the cheesecake ones and the cherry layer one are free!!

Oh yum I can't wait! How long do the Limited Edition ones usually stay on the shelves for?

I feel like I've been here forever!! Not helped by a 1lb gain last weigh in. Hoping for a big drop this week to make up for it. I come off my antibiotics on Sat morning - think it's them that made me gain! I'd like my first Feb weigh in to take me out of the 19's - am 19st 6lb - last Jan weigh...

Gained a 1lb this week so gonna be here a while longer! 19st 6.5lb now. Am on antibiotics and there're making me mega-bloated so am hoping I'll have a good loss next week as I come off them on Friday! Got a strange image of me deflating like a balloon now!

Gained 1lb this week :( Not sure why as I've been on plan - I've been a bit ill and I started a course of antibiotics on Saturday but not sure they'd cause weight gain?

It's just the plain. Don't forget it doesn't have to be branded Philadelphia - you get 75gunbranded medium fat soft cheese too - often a bit cheaper than the branded stuff!

Jo-M I was almost exactly the same weight as you when I started at the end of September, and now am 2 1/2 stone lighter! So you can definitely do it! Good luck! :)

Lost 5lbs in my first week, and 2.5lbs in my second and 2lbs in my third. Since then I've veered between 1lb and 3.5lb losses but they even out at exactly 2lb a week (34lb in 17 weeks!)

Well I got my Club10 yesterday, so now my next goal is 2 1/2 stone - only 1lb to go! Then next is to be in the 18 stone bracket by February - 5.5lbs to go to do this and two weigh ins! I think it's doable! My next bigger target is to get into the Obese BMI category by the end of March. I've got...

I love that I can still eat my favourite meals, and know that they're doing me good! SW has made me appreciate what I'm eating more.

3.5lb off this week, and I got my Club 10 award too! Am now 19st 5 1/2lbs - only 1lb to go till my 2 1/2 stone. I'm hoping to be out of the 19s by Feb, which I think is doable?

3 1/2 off for me this week - broke that run of 1lb losses finally! Got my Club 10 too so very happy about that!

Well done Rialrees! Hope it won't be too long until I can join you - feel like I've been in the 19s for ages! Hoping for a more than 1lb loss this week to take me to the lower half of them!

Definitely - I only buy proper Philadelphia if it's on offer - can't really tell the difference between that and Sainsbury's one.

It's the supermarket's Philly Light equivalent (as Philly Light is medium fat) - so things like Sainsbury's Lighter soft cheese.

Tried on the "sausagey" pair of size 22 jeans yesterday and they weren't sausagey anymore so wore them all day! Also, had to bite the bullet and get a new pair of work trousers as my old ones were really saggy! I do try not to pay too much attention to size (as weirdly some 24s still don't fit)...

Two of my friends at work started SW last week because they were impressed with my weight loss, and another is thinking of coming to my group with me this week. I've been acting as advisor to the two who started and feel like a guru! :D

I know that, but as a lot of fat free yogurts are free, and this is essentially the same, I wondered if this could maybe be free too?

Went to the cinema this afternoon and sat in the standard seats and the cup holders didn't dig in! When I went before I started SW I had red marks on my legs afterwards. Woohoo won't have to pay extra for VIP seats as a necessity! :D

Mullerlights are buy one get one free in Waitrose. They're 64p so works out as roughly 6 for £2. Had a good range of flavours in my small local one too.

Does anyone know the syns for the new pre-packed tubs of this? The passion fruit one is 89 cals per 100ml but fat free so not sure if it counts as free? It has similar nutritional values as a mullerlight. Have searched syns online on my iPhone and found nothing! The syns calc is coming up with...

I like Utterly Butterly - counts as a low fat spread so is only 1 syn per teaspoon - and one of those is plenty enough to spread on a slice of toast or use on a jacket.

My next goal is Club 10, which is a measly 1.5lbs away!! Then 2.5 stone, got 4.5lbs to lose to get that. Want to be in the next stone bracket by Feb - 10lbs to do that!

Porridge with half Hex A semi-skimmed milk and frozen cherries (defrosted!). Lunch will be leftover ratatouille (passata, mushrooms, peppers, courgette, onions, garlic) and pasta (it did have turkey in last night but we ate all of that!) with the other half Hex A reduced fat cheddar cheese...

Lunch was a jacket potato with smoked salmon trimmings and medium fat soft cheese (Hex A), with a big salad, and a banana custard Mullerlight (my favourite flavour!) to finish! And I've just had a Caramel Choc HiFi light for an afternoon snack to curb the choc craving after Xmas!

First weigh-in post Christmas yesterday and I've managed to lose 1lb! No idea how I did that as I didn't exactly stick to plan! I know I STS last week (weighed at home & took off two pounds as scales weigh heavy) so it's all this week's loss.

Lost 1lb this week. Am pretty pleased with that considering I've not really stuck to plan this last week and a bit. Am now well into these nineteens at 19st 10lbs! Always find it's easier to get motivated once you're over the half stone mark though - then the next stone bracket doesn't seem so...

Lost 1lb this week so the challenge has started for me! :D Acc 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Aesir 42lbs (0lbs lost ~ 42lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (0 lost - 14lbs to go) Babygirl1987 (0lbs lost - 40lbs to go) Beki 40.5lb (0.5lb GAINED ~ 41lb to go) blossom 28lb(0 lost -28lb to go) BSL11 36lbs...

Well done Feynman! What a good Christmas present for you! :D

Woo! Ordered a new pair of jeans this week, which are size 24 (was 26 before). Only noticed after that the reviews all said "come up small". Guess what I've got on today? :D

I'll join you - I'll say 49lbs as that'll take me to my 5 1/2 stone award. Acc 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Aesir 42lbs (0lbs lost ~ 42lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (0 lost - 14lbs to go) Beki 40.5lb (0lb lost ~ 40.5lb to go) blossom 28lb(0 lost -28lb to go) BSL11 36lbs (0lbs lost - 36 to go)...

Another 1lb off for me on Monday and got my 2 stone award - am now 19st 11lb. Club 10 is 19st 8.5lb so only 2.5lb to go to get that. :D

2.5lb to get Club 10 6.5lb to get 2.5 stone award

About a week after I started SW I bought a replica of my favourite pair of jeans two sizes too small in the sale - so size 22 instead of 26. The original size 26 pair fall down if i wear them. Up till now I've been able to pull the 22 up but not do them up. I last tried them a few weeks ago...

I mention how much I've lost to anyone who asks but only my husband and 1 friend know roughly how much I weigh (and even then they don't know the exact - I think I told both I was around 20 stone). I told my mum that I would tell her how much my start weight was when I was happy with my current...

Lol, on a related note, my husband just sent me the following email: Now until Christmas under no circumstances are you allowed to open any post sent to me directly. Not even if you think it may be for your family. Failure to follow this simple rule will result in instant cancellation of...

I am now a mere 1/2lb away from that two stone award! Plus I have my work's xmas do between now and my next weigh in. So near yet so far!! Club 10 is now only 3.5lb away too - I've lost that much in a week before but think this week that might be expecting too much!!

On of my colleagues just pulled me to one side in the communal kitchen and whispered "are you losing weight, it looks like you are?" - so I said "yep! Two stone!" and grinned. :-)

Another 1.5lb off tonight - now at 19st 12lb. Only half a pound to go to my 2 stone award. And 3.5lb to my Club 10!! I'd really like both before Xmas but only have one more weigh in, and my work Xmas do between now and then! So not sure if it is doable. Two stone yes, but maybe not the Club 10.

I'd always wanted to lose weight but for some reason my willpower just wasn't working with my brain, and over the past few years I've steadily put it on instead. Even being big for my wedding last August wasn't enough for me to start trying to lose. Then, in August the hubby was diagnosed with...

2lbs till my 2 stone award - want to get before Xmas! 5lbs till my Club10 - would love to get before Xmas but not counting on it! 9lbs till my 2 1/2 stone award 24lbs until I'm no longer "morbidly obese"

It definitely feels great when it's saying goodbye to those 20's! Now I'm in the teens it feels even more like it's definitely working. Can't wait to get my Club 10 - 5lb to go for that.

Lost a pound tonight, which puts me at 19 st 13.5lb, so am pleased to be able to join this thread! Not seen the teens for at least two years. :D

Lost a pound this week, which means that I no longer belong in this thread. I'm now 19st 13.5lbs! Bye by twenties I hope to never see you again! :D

Lost 3.5lb this week (no idea how didn't do anything different!) so I'm now only 1lb away from seeing the 19s, 3lb from my 2 stone award and 6lb from my Club10. 3 weigh ins till Christmas, it's looking good! :D

I had one like this the other day - I shook the cat biscuits to get the cat into the kitchen, not realising the flap wasn't closed - result was cat's idea of heaven - kitchen floor covered in biscuits!! :D

I'm a Marketing Executive for a business telecoms distributor. I do a lot of creative marketing, so design things like flyers, catalogues, advert and e-shots and edit and produce our monthly tariff guide. I also create visuals for campaigns and conferences, update our social media and website...

Yes! I go to Jane's group on Monday nights in Barnet. Do you? As for the door, hmm, the engineer elves? :)

Despite having a stressy day at work, you get into the car park to find your broken drivers door has magically fixed itself and you no longer have to clamber over the passenger seat to open it from the inside, you have a message on your phone inviting you to a second interview for a job you...

Just had weigh in - 3.5lb off so am now 20st and 1/2lb!! Got Slimmer of the Week too. So chuffed I'll be saying bye to the 20s before Xmas. Only 3lb to go now till my 2 stone. :-D

Was trying to find a pair of jeans yesterday and accidentally pulled out a pair of size 24 grey skinny jeans that I'd forgotten I owned! I think the last time I wore them was at least 2 years ago. Anyway, as they'd fallen at my feet I thought "lets try them" and they fitted! They were a little...

When you've had a stressy day at work, have dinner and then realise you've only had a couple of syns, so that glass of wine and milky way are yours all yours!

You could stick to green this week so you can eat some bland carbs like plain pasta, toast and potatoes? That often helps with an upset tummy?

Just leave the skin on the normal potatoes! Makes them "rustic" chips and they're still lovely!

... you wake up half an hour before your alarm, but are so desperate for a wee you have to get up and zombie walk to the loo instead of going straight back to sleep.

Surely you're not being 100% if you eat under 5 syns? *confused*

Sorry Tootz but I had to laugh at that! At least the cat didn't fall in with you - that happened to me once! :D

Hmm, that's strange, I started at 21st 11 (5' 7) and I wasn't told I could have any extra Syns, just the standard 5-15. I usally average about 12 a day - sometimes more if I need them, sometimes less.

When you accidentally leave your lights on and no-one notices until it gets dark at 4pm, so your battery is drained, the "know stuff about cars" guys at work feck up a jump start and you have to call the RAC. You then don't get home until an hour and half after you were supposed to. Yep, that...

'Ello - I'm 20st 4lb at the moment so hopefully won't be here too long - another 2/3 weeks if I stick to my average! :D

Wow! That's some amazing statistics there Ermintrude! What an inspiration! :D I have to sheepishly admit that even at 10 weeks, this is the longest I've stuck to a healthy eating plan. I think the longest before that was about two weeks?

Well done bignomore13! I lost another 2lb this week, getting my 1.5 stone award. Only 4.5lbs to go till I get rid of those 20's on the scale!! :D

Right. 1.5 stone award achieved! :) So next target is to get into the teens, then 2 stone award. 4.5lbs to go till I see 19st, and 6.5lbs to reach 2 stone. I wanted Club 10 by Xmas (another 2.5lbs on top of that), but will be happy with 2 stone. It's doable I think - have been averaging a 2lb...

The girls in my section of the office made me stand up and do a twirl this morning to show off my loss! Definitely think it might be time to try my next size down. :)

Yeah I don't do the whole off-plan "treats after weigh in" thing either - although I tend not to have too many syns, if any at all, during the day before weigh in so I've usually got enough to have a nice on-plan treat!

I had the big lot of alcohol and fairly big loss last week - I had a wedding on the Saturday where I must have had about 60 syns worth of wine and champagne, and then at weigh in on the Monday I'd lost 3.5lbs, my largest amount since my first week. This week I lost another 2lbs, I was half...

Ooh, just thought of something that could be yummy - imagine marmite chips with a Hex A of cheese sprinkled on the top! :D

Perhaps this is why so many places have had mega-mullerlight offers on lately? To shift the old style stock?

Had marmite roasties last night! It's a really good way to get them nice and brown without using fat. Works best with roasties if you rough up the edges first. Haven't tried it with chips/wedges though so will have to at some point this week.

Had my first non "in the know" comment yesterday! We went to see my MIL on Sunday, and were talking to her neighbour over her fence. Apparently when she saw my MIL the next day she asked if I'd lost some weight, and when MIL said I had she said even though it was a bit dark it was really...

Bubbs, you've already lost 16lb in a month and a half. That's brilliant! You're still averaging two pounds a week - it's 6 weeks till Xmas - 12lb will get you there! It's not a given that I'll hit my Club 10 by Xmas (just over 2 stone), which was my goal too, but you know I won't let it get...

Just need to lose 1.5lbs to get my 1.5 stone award! So fingers crossed I can do that next week! Then after that I'll be looking forward to hitting the teens again, and edging closer to my Club10. :-)

Thanks everyone! I know it's doable - I was down as low as 14 stone about 5 years ago (probably the lightest I've been since I was a teenager). Just focussing on little targets at the moment and trying not to concentrate on the big one! Next target is 1.5 stone, then getting the scales back in...

Hi All, relatively new to this too - on week 9 now and have lost 19.5lb but got at least 100lbs more to lose! I've set my target at 180lb/BMI30 but will see how I feel when I get there!

I'm Rachel from Barnet in North London. :-)

Typical - the one week I missed something major happens! I guess I'll quiz my consultant about it on Monday!

Thanks for this - so helpful! We're spending Christmas Day at the mother-in-law's and she tends to use quite a lot of pre-packed and processed things when she cooks. It'll be traditional roast so I might just avoid the roast potatoes and the rest should be alright. Boxing day will be easier as...

For me there's one big reason - I found out we'll need to go through IVF and I need to get down to BMI30 to qualify for the procedure and for funding. Having this goal made something snap in my brain that just hadn't before, no matter how much people had nagged me. I wish I'd done this now...

Had no idea about the Dorset cereal ones! Will have to look - I'm sure I've seen them in Sainsburys and Waitrose. As for Oat So Simple - I usually have it with fruit and low fat yogurt stirred in - I get frozen fruit bags and let a portion defrost overnight. Otherwise, "magic porridge" made...

Spagetti Bolognaise made with extra lean mince and lots of veg! And probably a sprinkling of cheese as have only used 2 1/2 syns so far today!

I bent over to do my shoes up yesterday and didn't have to rest my foot on anything. A couple of months ago it would make me a bit out of breath as my tummy would get in the way! Also - really do have to get new work trousers now. The bum on these ones is saggy to say the least! :-)

Ooh Susy I'd forgotten about that! I haven't had a bath for ages cos too much of me sticks out of the water and I get cold! It'll be nice to be covered by the water again!!

I'm looking forward to being able to go to any cinema or theatre, or get a flight without thinking "I hope I fit in the seats"! And walk into New Look without having to go right to the back of the shop (where they seem to always put the Inspire section!!).

I only had one Thorntons chocolate, even though I won them (prize for a quiz at work), and the box has been sat open next to me without even tempting me!

My next goal is my stone award - only 1 pound away so not far off. Then next is my two stone, and club ten which are pretty much the same thing. I'd like to get there by Xmas if I can!

They're called mini fillets. I could only find crispy strips too. They're a bit bigger and less, erm, crispy. More like a smaller version of the meat inside a fillet burger.

Sainsburys again!! With the bagged salad. They sell them on their own or in a mix with others (those ones are branded Steve's leaves).

Does anyone know how many syns the boneless breast fillets are - they're bigger than crispy strips and come in some of the boxes....

Yep exactly that!! From sainsburys. They taste no different to normal potatoes but why have white when you can have purple? Lol.

Purple jacket potatoes, smoked salmon and light Philly (hex a) with massive salad of pea shoots, lambs lettuce, chard and cherry toms. Yum!

You don't get a weekly allowance Debtin, you get a daily one of between 5-15 syns. So it resets daily. Now what some people do is work this out for the week - so between 35-105 syns for 7 days, meaning that on some days you can have more than 15 if you like. If you do this, it's up to you when...

I shop in Sainsburys. It might not be the very cheapest but for what we buy, which is now lots of fresh ingredients I find it reasonable, and the fruit and veg and meat are very good quality. I did a similar shop in tesco the other day and found it was more expensive, with not as much choice in...

In Sainsburys this week Mullerlights are £2 for the 6 pot multipack and Diet Coke is £3.50 for 12 cans :-)

I had magic porridge (not tried it warm yet) made with no fat natural yogurt and a little sweetener, and chopped banana. Not as nice as when it's made with toffee mullerlight but still good!

I'm in my fifth week and have had a similar problem with the mouth funny taste - I find I notice it most when I'm having a drink of water. My skin's also had a bit of a blip, but I seem to be coming out the other side. I put it down to no longer eating much sugar and my uptake of fruit and...

That's really interesting - I was going on my sister for 8.5 stone being light for size 10 - she's about 5' 4, 9.5 stone and size 8/10. But she's also very toned, so maybe that makes a difference? Plus I realised my maths weren't right - going on me being size 18 at 14.5, that means I would be...

Wonder if the gap will get smaller as I get smaller? Otherwise I'd have to be 8.5 stone to be a size 10, which seems quite light!

Got my first comment on my weight loss that wasn't from a family member today, from a co-worker, who said that you could see I've lost some weight, although she does know I've been doing SW. Oh, and another friend who I haven't seen for a few months said I'm "looking well" but she knows too. My...

I'm 5' 7" and 21st exactly and when I started at 21st 11 was size 26 bottom, size 22/24 top, however, my size 26 trousers and jeans are starting to get baggy. Previously, when I was 14.5 stone I was size 18 bottoms & 16 top, at 16.5 stone I was about a size 20 bottom and 18 top. So it...

Getting out of the 21s is a big deal for me, I've been up and down between the top and bottom of the 21s for the past two years-ish so once I've managed it I think it's then I'll really believe SW is working!! At the moment it's hard not to think it's just luck! :-)

Hiya, am new here too - am currently 21st 2 so hopefully won't be in the 21s for much longer! Can't wait to see a 20 on that display it's been a long time!

Sainsburys, Tesco and Asda do packs of Smoked Salmon ends - basically the bits left once they've cut the nice square slices. They vary in price but are all under a pound. Perfect for putting on a jacket potato or mixing into some pasta!
