Morning all, I've just had my weekly weigh in at home and am pleased to say that I've lost 3.5lbs this week (first week back on diet), just have to lose 1lb for next week to crawl into the 16 stone bracket. I did have a bad night on Thursday and am to embarrassed to say just what I ate.... but...

Hello All Earlier in the year I was headed towards the 14 st mark, obviously things have REALLY slipped for me and the pounds have piled back on and I feel gutted with myself, but I'm wanting to 'grasp the nettle' and restart and be good again. Previously I had been feeling great, last year July...

Hello All Earlier in the year I was headed towards the 14 st mark, obviously things have REALLY slipped for me and the pounds have piled back on and I feel gutted with myself, but I'm wanting to 'grasp the nettle' and restart and be good again. Previously I had been feeling great, last year July...

I gained 3lbs this week, not surprised as last week I lost 6lbs from being ill and not eating... hopefully things will auto correct this week and I can start to lose a little bit of weight.

Hiya all, well as expected I had a 3lb gain, it was there earlier in the week cos I sneaked onto the scales ... I had lost 6 last week with being ill. Went back to work yesterday, having not really used my voice for a week, promptly lost it again at work, felt dreadful overnight and had to go to...

Hey, there have been some fantastic losses so far this week, and so nice to hear that sugarpuff and sooper have been broken through to the 14's. Also welcome to our new members Caroline and Emma. I'm feeling a bit down in the mouth this morning, as I sneaked onto the scales to see where I was...

Thanks for that, I thought it was just me. I had even wondered about writing the routine down or trying to learn it as it seems to repeat and then just having a go myself..... but now once I start the pause button will be nearby .

Forget to say, chest is much better with each passing day... will be back at gym by end of the week :). Thank you for asking. How are you with your cold and blocked sinuses, on the mend I hope?

The magic pancakes were wonderful and will def do again. I even wondered about making some and taking them into work to eat cold... they reminded me in some ways of those scotch pancakes, they'll be lovely with berries. My x trainer was bought from ebay the other week for £63, no where near the...

Thanks Sue, I am so excited about getting started, although recovering from bronchitis at the mo, and haven't got back into exercise fully yet, but will watch the Introduction DVD later today. What always confused me before was that they seemed to be standing one moment then doing a floor...

:8855: Thanks for the offer DM, but I don't fancy having a double date with you and your sugar daddy lol

OMG Minks that winter one pan hash looks devine, I will 100% use your recipe .... I'm drooling thinking about it. This morning I'm going to try the magic pancake recipe for breakfast. I managed to stand on my x trainer for 10 mins this morning, gradually getting some exercise back into life...

Thanks so much for your help Martin, I've ended up with 9 DVD's in my pack so plenty of variety. :)

My colleague was telling me that his huskie puppy (angel) managed to pull a bottle of wine out of the wine rack, also that it's chewing him out of house and home..lol. I won't tell him after all about the zigzagging, but when he comes to work bruised and battered I'll know he's tripped over...

Help, help..... Can anyone help me with my query a little earlier please ..... I am unable to copy and paste using my iPad (my query is about 4 comments back). thanks

You're doing so well Minks, I guess my weight loss is slow and steady and I should be thankful for that - I'm 2lbs off the 3 and a half stone mark, apart from last weeks loss of 6lbs due to illness. Keep up the good work Minks, hope all your challenges are met.

I hadn't heard about potato being a source for food poisioning before, but guess all things go bad and breed nasties at some stage. Same with rice, you have to be careful storing and reheating it as it can give you a very unpset tum.

A colleague at work got a huskie puppy just before xmas, he'd hoped to take the dog with him when he runs .... think I'd better warn him about the zig zagging thing

Please can I ask for some advice. I have bought Kettleworx and have also a 2.5, 5 and 7.5kg Kettlebell - but in which order should I do the Kettleworx program? Do I stick to one of the DVD's until it is completed, or should I mix and match with the other DVD's.... there isn't any instructions...

As I am doing SW from home I don't have the opportunity to be part of a walking group, but will explore the exercise forums to see if there is anything that I could post or is already posted. What a fab idea of giving the raffle money to a wheelchair charity. However thinking....... my neighbour...

Mandy, 6 miles that's bloomin' amazing. I agree with Rosielea a walking buddy would be good, is there anyway of enquiring on this site across the different diets if there might be anyone in my locality?

Minks, please could I ask.... I note that you say January was a slow month when you lost 7lbs, what do you usually hope to lose in a normal month?

Morning all, have just been catching up on the threads I hadn't read, wow there have been some great weight losses woooohooo. Minks I'm going to go for it and get myself a slow cooker, have just got to try some of the recipes being suggested. I know that some of you have had the lurgy recently...

Hi Erm I feel that I know you so well having read your diary from start to finish over the last coule of weeks, it's been so uplifying to read and should be on a best seller list somewhere! Your recipes I have copied them all and now have an Erm's recipe book in my kitchen (thanks also to Honey...

This sounds fab Minky, I haven't got a slow cooker but had wondered about investing in one. I went out to the post office earlier, first time since becoming poorly, I couldn't believe how weak I felt. Made sure that I had some lunch quorn and veg stir fry, but could only eat a small portion -...

Mandy I would usually gain when being ill, have been known to gain 7lbs in a week before, but this time I haven't the energy to do anything but sleep!!! I guess it's fortunate that I live alone. I haven't had any appetite this time Mandy, and have had to force myself to eat what I have. Have to...

Thats fantastic Minky..... go girl go

Thanks for your encouraging words Ruth, I'll be doing my best to keep it off.

Ah! so Mandy it was you who must have sneezed on me! I've been trying to figure out where I caught this darned bug from. Anyway not being well has resulted in a 6lb weight loss for me this week, taking me to 15st 6lb, I know it's not true loss and am so fearful of putting every lb back on...

Morning all, I have just weighed in and lost 6lbs, I'm disappointed as it is due to having developed bronchitis mid week and therefore I know is not a 'true loss', and will have to be very careful next week not to put everything back on. Am still feeling like death warmed up, so no possibility...

Well done jen and faerieheavyboot on your losses, and good luck to everyone else weighing in today. I have just WI (do so at home) and have lost 6lbs this week, I'm not happy as I have been ill since Wednesday and know this is because of illness rather than true weight loss, I'll have to be...

Thank you for all your kind words, the support on here is simply fantastic

Just back from the GP, the lurgy turns out to be bronchitis.... I don't suffer with chest problems normally, at least now I know why it feels like someone is standing on my chest with hob nail boots. Thanks fpr ypur reply earlier minky, hope your sinus infection is on the mend.

Hiya all I'm not having such a good week as have gone down with the 'lurgy', have had a terrible sore throat, my head has been pounding and I'm full of cold. It's out the mockers on my diet this week as I know I'm not eating properly, not enough really as I don't feel up to it, so my WI on...

It sometimes goes like that Ally, hopefully a really good weight loss next week :)

I think I'm lucky with the gym that I'm using as it is a local authority one, so there are all types of people using it and I don't feel that it's too uncomfortable for the larger person. I was chuffed with myself yesterday as I decided that I was going to do a distance of 10Km somehow, so...

Hi Jane, you'll be very welcome to join us here in the 15's, I only joined this group last week and it felt so good to give the 16's a shove goodbye. Fingers crossed for you Mandy, it's hard when you have to stop exercising due to injury or sickness but having stuck to the plan hopefully should...

Wow! Kat what a brilliant result, you must be absolutely delighted, hope you have good results for the rest of the month too.

Hi Minky, I've just subscribed to your diary after having read the last couple of weeks, had to laugh at the doughnut on Friday.... But am very impressed at your exercise diary also....I must try and up my exercise. Am just about to get ready and go off to the gym, only discovered... Or should I...

Just 1lb off for me this week,I would have liked little more but it wasn't to be...... Have to keep trying and keep the exercise going, hopefully another loss next week... Fingers crossed.

Please could someone kindly add that I managed to lose 1lb this week, am going to have to try and up the stakes if I am to get to 8lbs, however am going to try my hardest as I have a holiday to Indiaat the beginning of March.

Well done Katoof, enjoy the 14's and hopefully I won't have to wait too long before I can manage to get down there, even if I am just scraping into the 15's. Managed to lose just 1lb this week, so am now at 15.12. Have just bought a cross trainer off eBay, and hopefully will have the motivation...

Thank you all for your welcome to the 15 club!

I've just weighed in at home, and have managed to lose 4lbs this week (first week back on diet after a lapse since mid November), best of all I have slipped out of 16stobe bracket into 15's, at 15.13 so I'll have to be good next week to keep in here and continue to lose and eventually grasp that...

I've lost 4lbs this week, am weighing myself at home rather than at a group. Am pleased as it means I have dropped to the next stone category also. Good luck to everyone else today.

Hi alisonbee, good for you not giving in to that Chinese, I know it would have taken so much willpower to have turned your back on it, but bet you're feeling good for doing that now, also I'm sure you'll see your deserved weight loss next weigh in. Where are you off to for your honeymoon? Plenty...

It feels so good to be able to get refocused again and see the weight coming off (well I hope that's what will happen to me), you are obviously doing well Emmamb and full credit to you for keep going to class. I know that I would be welcome back at class, I enjoyed the classes so much, I should...

Hiya All Such fantastic results and really motivational, well done. I feel a bit of a let down to myself, I had been doing so well and was at this stage in mid November but had got laxidasical and stopped going to SW class, this weekend the motivation is back - thank goodness and I have reread...

I fell off the whole diet thing in mid November, I thought it was health issues that kept me from losing weight but truly examining my diet I realise that I was lying totally to myself and that so many sins had crept into my diet when I thought I was being good. So yesterday I reread my diet...

I'm not sure how to add it, but I'd like to try for 8lbs. I fell off the diet mid November, fortunately have not gained but neither have I lost since then so am about to kick start everything for a holiday to Goa at beginning of March.

£18 pm, which includes use of all facilities and classes, it has great opening times. Run by the local council, had loads of money spent on it a couple of years ago so that it would be used as a trainning facility prior to the Olympics, although the private run gyms are swish they cost a lot...

Fingers are crossed for you Vicki, however I'm sure you won't need any luck to get into the 15's by Xmas, you seem very motivated.

Hi all I haven't popped in for a while as I seemed to be going through a bad patch and put weight on for 2 consecutive weeks....even though I hadn't been bad. Stuck at the diet, kept food diary, and am pleased to say I'm back to my where I was a few weeks ago. I lost 2.5lbs at WI yesterday, and...

Hi all, I've nearly managed my October challenge of losing 12lbs. Today at WI I lost 4lbs making my total so far for October 11.5lbs.

Hi All, a lovely surpride for me at WI today, managed to lose 4lbs and got SOW, I had expected a gain. I'm now at 16st 3.5lbs, hopefully within next 2 weeks would be good to see the 15's, however my health always throws a few clangers in now and again, but at least I am content to know I'll be...

Hi All, great to see all the loses, and meow when Ebaying your ovaries please could you take mine also.... although they are long defunct they might give me a little more weight loss. I had expected to gain this week as it's not been a very good week, however I lost 4lbs and was SOW. I have...

Yep, I reckon it's a gain for me this week, although I have followed the diet mostly, probably have eaten less than I would have usually. I seem to go through these phases and then will lose again, so mustn't bash myself up over it.

I managed 6 off last Saturday, a nice loss however I had gained 2.5 the week before.

Morning all, haven't been around for a bit due to difficulties (not with diet), am pleased to report at my WI on Saturday I managed to lose 6lbs, so am now 16st 7.5lbs. I would really like to be in the 14's by christmas. Hope you're all doing well, and have a good week.

Yes, well done ChocHobNob, I'm envious but hopefully will be with you in a few weeks time. I fell that the weight I gained last week has shifted again (health reasons) and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a nice weight loss when I WI on Saturday morning.

Slow start to the day, need to try and get my self moving. Have had my double dose of porridge which has given me 5 syns extra with breakfast. Had a good hard look at myself in the mirror this morning, although I've can manage to get into a size 18 skirt now (started the diet wearing size 24)...

I need to make some tea, but as I have a few days off work I'm finding I'm not as disciplined as usual, also as just back in from working can't be to bothered to start cooking , think it'll have to be jacket spud with salmon and salad tonight. I've got a little milk left from my HEA so can still...

Hi Caroline Good luck with your slimming world journey, I note that our BMI's are similar and so guess have the same aim of getting into the healthy section. I love the way SW lets you eat... so much, so good and so tasty. My lunch was delicious, I just halved the squash, gave it a quick spray...

Eagerly awaiting my lunch, am having a huge roasted squash with home made ratatouille, just using up older veg in the kitchen.

Hi all I didn't post my WI results from last Saturday, as I have to admit to feeling down, although I'd stuck like glue to the diet I still had a gain of 2.5lbs. I do have a health condition that can make my weight fluctuate and this was the cause... as honestly had been so good. By Monday...

Dear Diary and viewers ... welcome to my weight loss journey, that I hope will take me from being bulbous to streamline. I know there my be tears along the way, but with your support I will remain strong and plod on through. Yes, yes, yes, I've done the diets before, haven't we all. My weight...

Morning Honeybee (Melissa), good luck to you with your diet and diary, I was actually thinking of starting a diary myself this morning also, however whilst I may be committed my internet connection at home has been practically non exsistant since before August bank holiday. I'm sure blogging...

I am so interested in having a go with kettlebells, however am not very fit and have masses of weight to lose..... what would you suggest if I could not manage a full session from a dvd (also they tend to go to fast for me), would it be better to select a few kettlebell exercises from the...

Totally agree, this has got to be a life style change for us all, as we don't want to be climbing the stones again .... now do we!!! Just to see them melting away is so good , even if I did get a blip on the scales this week.

Hiya all, I weighed in this morning and sadly had put on 2.5 lbs .... Am hanging on here by my finger tips at 16.13 and half.... This happens to me every couple of weeks, a gain, even though I've been good, am going to try for a decent loss next week to get back on track, and get out of the...

I managed 4lbs at yesterday mornings' WI, I was very happy as I reached my Club 10 award, 2 stone award and SOW and went down to the next stone category.....so a good week, let's just hope it doesn't go back on next week.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Hope the toddler is better son CurvyB, and well done for resisting the urges of a 'nice but naughty' snack.

Hi Bron, it's nice to have someone join this section with me, perhaps we can count this stage down together.......good luck to you.

Hi.... I'd like to join in and try for 12lbs, however at WI today, I did manage a loss of 4 lbs Aesir22 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) WifeyG 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) CurvyBride 10.5lbs (0 lost - 10.5 to go) arctic_blonde_not_grey 15lbs (0 lost - 15 to go) Spangle_2 12lbs (4 lost -...

Hi again, I'm officially in now, I managed to lose 4lbs today, and achieved my club 10 award, and 2 stone award and slimmer of the week. Came away from class so very happy. Am now 16st 11lbs, and have my eyes firmly set on getting down to next level ASAP.... Hopefully.

Hiya all, I'm new to the site, and am hoping after WI tomorrow morning I might qualify to join you here in the 16's. Last Saturday I was 17.1, and as I have been good this week I've got my fingers tightly crossed. My goal for Xmas is to be in the 15's ..... So hopefully I can join you officially...
