Bella! I started at weight watchers on Thur.... Felt quite out of my depth when I got home with all the magazines and booklets though. I want this to be different to SW, I really do:-( Hope you have a good night.., I've spent the past few days just sulking in bed. Hasn't been great. But I'm...

I'm another one... Shame has kept me away. But Thur I start weight watchers, so hopefully it will be a REAL new start x

How are you getting on dimples?

Hi there ladies, I've pm'd you both!xx

Hiya dimples, how are you getting on?

Hi there dimples, That would be great! Just got back from a night out and have seen your response, so I'll respond properly tomorrow x

Hello! I am a 22 yr old who is struggling with weight issues. I suffer with depression, and three years ago went into treatment for an eating disorder. Since then, I've gained weight and have struggled with trying to get it off. I was on here to ask whether anyone would be interested in an...

As anyone every tried Proactol? Am considering it, but unsure looking at reviews. Would be great to hear from anyone who may have tried it

Hi Karen, My bf is understanding - we got together just after I had been put into a psychiatric unit so he's always known about my struggles, and he's seen me at my absolute worst. BUT I know he gets frustrated because he doesn't understand. I think, if you haven't been there, it won't really...

Hello there all. Just coming on here to vent a bit and try to talk through my tears... I started off 8 years ago with an eating disorder at the age of 14. I dropped down to a size 6/8 and now, almost 3 years after treatment I'm up to a size 14, 12 if I push it. I've tried SW which just...

Hello all! Just a quick one from me... Thanks for all your hugs! No real improvement in terms of food for me BUT I found out today that I got accepted onto the teacher training course! Feeling very thankful! Big hugs to you all, Kassy, tea sounds yummy. I love home cooked comfort! Stacey...

Hello ladies... Well I guess it's time for me to come clean... Fallen completely off the wagon and I just feel so sad. Sometimes I don't want to come and post on here because I always feel like the immature one who's always moaning about something, but I'm genuinely struggling and... I'm...

Haven't been on in a while, because I've been terrible ladies. Gone back to making myself sick and have been too embarrassed, especially when looking at the progress you're all making. Can't go on though, I was sick this morning but don't want to be anymore. Haven't eaten anything since, I'm a...

Aw Kassy you were Minnie mouse! Love it!

Hi there guys! I'm a serial 'this time I will lose weight'-er... Have tried slimming world, slim fast, alli, cabbage soup diet blah blah blah... None of them were for me! I'm a 21 year old, suffered from bulimia since I was 13, went into treatment at 19 and have seen myself shoot up from a size...

Wow Diva, the dress is stunning! And both the shoes... Very nice! Im all about the flowers, so I especially like the second pair, but they're both so nice! Really am a fan of that first dress, it looks like a really flattering cut! And Miss K, sounds like very nice plans for the weekend. Me...

Stacey is back!! Don't worry at all about the food situation for now, when other stresses come in its always hard to stay on track, makes it harder when we beat ourselves up over it! I. Glad you managed to get time off, that should help you chill a little and take things a bit easier. What is...

Hello ladies, Bin, sending you a huge hug. Don't know what it must feel like at all. My boyfriend lost his dad when he was 17, then his mum when he was 18 both due to illness. At 22 now, I don't know HOW he does it, but he really does cherish all his memories with them. I love when he tells me...

Thank you all for your posts and advice. I think my BMI is at 27 or 28, so I'm close. But also, thank you for opening my eyes to the reality of xenical - thinking through it all now, I suffered with bulimia for 7 years, during which time I ate all the things I wanted to, without gaining the...

Hi there hobnobs mummy... Silly q but what are the 'stickies'??

I there guys, just coming on to post for any advice really - I am a 21 year old female, struggled with an eating disorder in the past. After going through treatment, my weight gain really got me down so I tried slimming world but it really wasn't for me. I heard of xenical a while back, and...

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is well - made a decision yesterday... I've stopped SW as it just wasn't for me. I've decided to buy xenical and start taking that. Unfortunately, I'm not obese 'enough' to have it prescribed, but its something I want to try as its really getting me down. How is...

Terrible food week is and understatement, wouldn't even know where to start so just been avoiding posting. Feeling very much like a failure atm

Need to turn it around Diva because right now, I feel like a complete pudgy lump of yuckiness. Just want a quick fix, to find somewhere in me the ability to say no to food and to feel good in myself. Doesn't exist though does it :-( HELP ME!! Still thinking of you Bin, and much love to all you...

Ladies I've been quiet this week because I've been SO bad. Making VERY bad food choices. Not on track at all

Bin, am thinking of you, you'll be in my prayers xx

I knew I'd got the cake person wrong!! Bin, not diva! Sorry ladies!!

Hi ladies! Won't ever guess what... Had an awful tooth ache these past couple of weeks, then on wednesday, the Pain got so bad I passed out. Went to the emergency dentist, turns out my wisdom tooth is infected but they can't pull it out yet so they put me on a course of antibiotics - turns...

Hey ladies, I'm sitting here with a peppermint tea and a a HUGE slice of a waitrose Victoria sponge cake I bought yesterday. Cake is my downfall in life. SW has just been really difficult with being at uni 5 days a week - its hard to be able to have a good lunch, and when you have a day of 6...

Hello ladies, glad you're all well. Haven't posted for a while, been a crazy time with uni, parents just general stresses. Been a bit poo lately. Made the decision to stop slimming world as it just isn't for me. Any tips of what I should try doing?? Kassy stunning dress! Really beautiful...

Morning ladies. First day of period today (boo), so naturally, I went to sainsburys on the way to my bf's house - bought us popcorn as he's got Paranormal activity for us to watch, yum yums (the mini ones) and monster munch! Oh dear. I either try and eat NOTHING or do my best at eating...

Hello! Thanks for sharing! Don't worry you haven't dampened the mood at all, it's always nice to hear of others' experiences, because it proves there is another side to it! Have a good day xx

Good morning all! Not been able to sleep very well these last couple of days, can't explain it - ever had that feeling where you're SO tired but just not sleepy. May do some uni work after I've written here! Firstly thank you all for your hugs. I'm so grateful that I have you ladies just to...

Hey ladies, Saw some pics of myself yesterday at a friends wedding in 2010 and they absolutely broke my heart... I was TINY! Those pics were taken 5 days before I was sectioned and put into hospital so I have to keep reminding myself that I was I'll back then but still, had forgotten how tiny I...

Hi Karen! Hate the Sunday shift.. Booked a holiday today, just couldn't face it! Enjoy your evening xx

Looked at Staceys pics and realised none of you actually know what I look like so am following the uploading trend... Do feel free to contribute, I love pics! We have, me And my lovely mr.man, my hamster Jiggly in his homemade tutu, and jiggly on my bf's head! Also a couple from my sisters...

Katierose! Lovely to have you back. I know that feeling of staying away due to shame, but we must not let the guilt win. Thank you for sharing about your daughter, it's funny that so many of us have had experiences with mental illness, either personally or through loved ones. It's so common, but...

Ooh Stacey... The dress!! From what I can see, I LURVE it!! Looks like you had a good time despite the tears, am really glad!! You look great xx

Stacey, happy birthday!! Why the tears :(

Thanks Stacey ad Bin... Btw, Stacey that dress is so cute! I could never pull something like that off, but with some red lippy and hair up, you'd look amazing! Great idea too, to have something to aim for, and a treat waiting when you reach it! Bella, my bf doesn't need to know that that man...

Thanks Bin for the info on Mr Bin... Depression is one of those things where, if you don't ask people about their experiences, you aren't aware that others are experiencing the same things. Had a bad day today - 1lb on at the weigh in, I'm gutted, cried on the way home in the car. Ladies, why...

1lb on for me :-( Still in tears.

Hello lovely ladies! Miss K ooh wow, loving the dresses... Especially the gold one! Perfect festive dress! Thank you Miss K, Stacey, Bella and Diva for your thoughts, really do appreciate it. I get that it's a tough one, because what works for one person won't necessarily work for the next...

Don't be nervous AT ALL! This is the first week of lots of good weeks to come...

Sounds good! Give yourself a nice tea to look forward to after WI. Good luck!

I was SO thirsty before one weigh in. Spent the whole day drinking loads of water. That was my biggest loss of 3.5lbs. Think it's all about how your body is... No one size fits all unfortunately :(

Hello Miss K, Stacey, Bin, Diva (missed anyone? I'm very sorry if so) Lovely ladies, it has been a time of severe ups and downs for me but I've stayed true to your lovelies, reading through the posts daily and they really have been motivating me. The Xmas period was a bit of a mess, hadn't been...

Happy new year lovely ladies! Diva, throw Mr.Willpower my way when you're done with him because I am in need! Haven't been to weigh in for the last two weeks and seriously indulged over Xmas... Will pay the price on Thursday when I finally knuckle down and face the scales. But it's just a...

Hello all newbies, and all who have been here since the start! My SW journey this year has been pants but I'm determined to get on track for 2012... How are we all feeling? Also, Judith! How are you and Pickle??xx.

I know the bingeing feeling... Feeling very nervous over this Xmas period

Ladies, I haven't posted on here in a long long while... Firstly, it has to be said, congratulations Kassy, that is amazing news! And the ring is STUNNING. Quite possibly one of the nicest engagement rings I have ever seen. My sis got married in August of this year and I was the official...

Sleep it off Judith. Forget the crappiness of today, let's make tomorrow a fresh start! Report bk tomorrow on how you're feeling... Big hugsxx

Excited for my day today ladies... Having a girly day with MYSELF. Some good 'me' time is just what I need! Going to get my nails done (xmassy style of course), get my eyebrows threaded, then heading to Westfield for a day of shopping - going to try and find the perfect gift for the number one...

Failing miserably :-( You??

Syn free quiche sounds yum! Recipe?

Thank you so much Rozie, Judith and Pickle! Had an ok day at work today, I will definitely come back to posting. Was just feeling very ashamed of myself. I feel that I binge when I feel worst about my weight. How do you both find the motivation to stick to your diet plan? Because that is...

Haven't posted on here in a long time guys... Been too ashamed! Really in need of some advice and support. Gone bk to my old binge/purge ways, and I'm seeing myself gaining the pounds as a result. I don't understand how, when it makes me this unhappy, I don't stop myself. It's like a downward...

Tomorrow I'm at work, so breakfast will probably be toast, lunch will be mums SW friendly pasta (maybe with a bit of cheese), then dinner I'm at my bf's house as its his sisters bday. How do you cope with eating out? I usually find that I end up eating anything and everything, telling myself...

I just had apple strudel and ice cream... Why? Didn't even enjoy it. At all.

Thank you! No doughnuts for me. A yum jacket potatoe instead. How was your day?

And amidst all of that... I want a doughnut!!

I work at a shop on weekends. The mirrors there are awful. Just accentuate all my flab. And today I've been home all day In a jumper and leggings and just..l everything is bulging. It's a combination of bad eating and going on the pill... This pill made me pile on the pounds even when I was...

Feeling very disheartened today :-( hate having to look in the mirror.

It's not at all about how much we have to lose... Just that we stick at this guys and girlies!xx

I'm extra easy, so I'm thinking... Breakfast either toast or weetabix with a yogurt and banana Lunch, some of mums leftover pasta Dinner, jacket potatoe with beans and salad ??

Oh dear... I don't actually have a plan for tomorrow. Just try and stay strong and true to SW ??

Oh dear, reading this has made me crave pizza hut!! LOL!

Hello Judith! Breakfast for me was two slices of toast, one with marmalade and 28g of honey hoops. Lunch was a ham and cucumber sandwich, a very yummy nom nom yogurt and an apple. I was then treated to a lovely bag of maltesers from my manager. Came home and had three lemon puff biscuits, then...

Had maltesers today!!

Sorry I should've specified... Not the SW loaf of bread, but the normal size with margarine and marmalade! Yum! Welcome! Don't have to be from Middlesex to join. Put up a pic of the mung bean wraps if you can... They sound yum!

Oh dear the lidl one are amazing... Hope you have a good day today lovely!! Let me know how it all goes xx

My target weight suggests I need to lose one stone, but I'd like to lose more, probably 2 to 2.5 stones. Oh dear, it's only 8am and I'm already setting myself up to fail.... Thinking about toast for brekkie!

Hi there Danielle, so nice to hear from you. Oh I know the crisp feeling :-( I can go through a made for sharing walkers bag in under half an hour. It's shocking, I understand the lack of motivation, which is why a lot of the time, we need someone else there to encourage and push us. So...

Hi Gemma, my names Jan and I'm 21 living in Middlesex. Been doing SW for about a month now and have been hopeless at it. I'm a previous eating disorder sufferer so know EXACTLY what that need to binge feels like :-( I'm looking for a diet buddy too, but posted in entirely the wrong place! Just...

I found you here too!! Daily accountability sounds AWESOME!

Hello JustJudith and Pickle! Oh, age is NOTHING is this world of weight loss... I haven't been great over the last few days BUT I haven't been as awful as I normally am. Weigh in at SW tomorrow and I'm dreading what the scales will show. Certainly a gain. Definitely need someone to encourage...

Morning ladies! It's been a little while, I've been mega busy with uni deadlines but also... As of yesterday, I have officially applied to become a primary school teacher!! Very excited that my application is finally complete, it feels like its taken months! On the food side of things - I've...

Hi there, I'm a 21 yr old female, living in London and struggling with Slimming World. Really struggling to stick to the plan, and am struggling even more to make healthier options :-( Finding this whole thing very difficult and quite upsetting. I'm looking for a 'buddy', someone who knows...

Ladies I need some SERIOUS motivation :-( Sitting in my bed crying. I feel like such a try hard. I put so much effort into my appearance, always trying to look half decent for my bf, but it just never works. Feels like I'm busting out of everything. Miss Kassy I know the feeling, I really do...

Hi ladies, been very off track lately... Don't actually know if I'll bother to say that I will start 'being good' tomorrow because I probably won't! Miss Kassy, hope the bay celebrations have gone well. Enjoy them, don't think about the food Bella thanks about the gain. It didn't affect me as...

Hello baileybu and Aisha! Hope the two of you have had a good day... Had every intention of 'starting again' today BUT then, I ate a whole bag of mini doughnuts and a big bag of ready salted crisps. Feeling very guilty. Hope you are both well and had more success today than I did...x

It's the salt in it!! Got my bottle of water next to me!

Give yourself the weekend off. Just eat what you want, when you want and don't let there be any room for guilt. Get it out your system. We'll start again on Monday :-) xx

Lol! Today was definitely a day for Chinese then! Wasn't as bad as I thought, was just a nice evening really. And your evening??

I think you should be on the slimming world fridge magnets... Motivate the rest of us!!

Hello baileybu, came across this post accidentally. Hows it been going since you posted?? I'm exactly the same.... Either have to bin EVERYTHING or consume it all in one sit in. Let us know how the rest of the weeks been... xx

Ooh, girly catch up always good! Congrats on staying the same... I gained 1lb unfortunately. Was gutted, but have found today that I don't actually have much of an appetite at all. Will see how it goes. Have a good weekend, gonna get myself ready to have a nice afternoon/evening with the bf...

1lb on :( just have to keep telling myself it could be worse.

Epic fail today. And weigh in tomorrow. I'm terrified that what i see tomorrow will be too much. Really am scared. :(

Oh that makes sense! My email is [email protected] Gimme a buzz x

What's a hexb??

Hey Miss Kassy! Bluck a smear... Had to have myself a colposcopy last monday and it was horrid. What made it worse was I had two student docs in the room, so the main guy kept inviting them over to 'take a look'!!! Oh the things we have to put up with as women. Feeling a little better today...

Hi Bin hope your day was good! It's true. I'm sure many of us have these struggles, just in that moment they seem like the end of the world don't they? I'm mental,y preparing myself for a gain this week at my SW weigh in. Don't worry about yours.... Reading yours I thought to myself 'that's...

Oh wow 4st lighter in a year?! That's amazing! I have no idea what brings on the binges - just an overwhelming sense of I need food. And bad food at that. Thanks for your support and advice, the first hurdle is definitely the hardest :-(

Awesome! Would be great to have a SW 'buddy' (I've gone from my pro-Mia buddy to this, that is an achievement and a half!) or I'll give you my email or something, whatever's easier! Really need to work on that as I go for the 'bad' foods.... Cookies, biscuits, cakes, crisps etc... :-(

Hi lemontart, you're so right, I'm certain it was the episode on the day of weighing that gave me that result. I've not been to my weigh in last week as I was looking after a little one, but I've been constantly bingeing (it's a daily thing) so I'm terrified of what the verdict will be this week...

Thanks bin, but this is a strange 'blip'. I'm in bed, already planning my binges for tomorrow. It's awful. Making me feel really sad because I feel so out of control :-(

Had a horrible bingeing session today and tbh, wanted nothing more than to make myself sick after but I was out :-( now home and feeling like absolute crap, just feel so guilty because I've only been doing SW for 2 weeks and probably only truly stuck to the plan for 5 days. Just feel like a...

Honestly, I know the feeling. It's been constantly happening to me these past two weeks. Allow yourself a 'bad' day today, you've eaten what you've eaten so put it out of your mind and don't let the guilt in. And you know what... Enjoy your burger king. If this is time off from the plan then...

Sounds awful. Thank God you're ok, and it wasn't any worse! Have a good sleep, forget about today... Tomorrow will bring better things. Xx

Bella please could I leave the handling of my parents to you when I tell them I'm moving out?? LOL! I've been attacking the lemon puffs today... Very naughty we are!xx

I had some M&S chocolate shortcake biccies (4), KFC for lunch and now... I've just had two lemon puffs!! LOL If I dont laugh about it. I'll cry! Uni for me tomorrow, work for you... It's a hard life!x

Definitely makes sense! And sometimes a bit of distance for a while will make both sides appreciate the other more. I moved out during my first year of uni and only saw my parents when I came home on weekends. It allowed us to enjoy each others company and the time we spent together. I'm back...

Living at home is hard isn't it?? I thought it was just me, I'm 21, big sis just moved out in August after getting married so it's me, mum, dad and my hamster Jiggly. Not easy a lot of the time :-( Hope you've had a better day today lovely! Xx

Good luck with the job hunt. I work in a shop too and it's POO!x

What's STS?

Hello all, I'm a relative newbie to SW, yesterday was my second weigh-in and SHOCK HORROR I lost 3lbs BUT I did not stick to the plan at all. All started on Saturday at work with a piece of baclava then it was all down hill from there! Anyone else had unexpected weeks like that because a part...

So I'm a slimming world newbie and I struggled massively this week. First week, I lost 1lb. Second week, I didn't stick to my plan AT ALL. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I was overloading on syns a d generally just eating badly. Went for my weigh in today to find...

Not an over-reaction at all! You're an inspiration!x

Hello there lovely people, Question for you all - I'm doing SW, been with for two weeks now and have already had an EPIC fail... Saturday and Sunday at work I had some baklava, chocolate, crisps and toast! Yesterday I had pizza, a muffin and spag Bol that was FULL of syns. Today, had a...

Hey lovely, Sorry it's had been such a crappy day. I know that feeling of obsessing over food, and just needing something solid. I'm at uni too, and mealtimes are a nightmare and a half. While other ppl snack on crisps and biccies and sweets, I'm there with my melon in a little tub! It's not...

Hi bin59! Awesome news on the dress... That 'just sorted' feeling can't quite be beaten! Keep us posted on your dad, he's in my thoughts and prayers.xx

Think of this... It could've been MUCH worse! Let's be grateful it was just one. And hey, we are all allowed our off weeks. I gave up today, this morning at work I had a slice of toast with margarine! What was I thinking?! Felt bad about it for hours then just kinda came to the conclusion that...

Know the feeling :(

Hi there! I joined SW last Thursday and I must admit its been a tough first week. Had my weigh in today and lost just 1lb. Not fantastic but not a failure either! How are you finding it, going into your second week? Hope your weigh in was a success!x

Hi there tally05! I've joined slimming world just a week ago, actually preparing to go to my weigh in now. I'm aiming to lose two stone too, but yesterday, I had a bit of a lapse in my week and had a kebab with my bf :( Felt quite bad after, but I tried to put it out of my head. My syn today...

Hello there hobnobsmummy! Don't have any info on that particular combo but I'm a member of SW, joined last week and have the books. If you need any info on foods (syn values etc) just give me a buzz and I can relay info that you may not have access to! Good luck!!

Hi there! I've just started SW, struggling a little with it to be honest. How long were you part of slimming world? I'm hoping to stop the yo yo diets with this! Wish you luck with the calorie counting!

Hi Gem Bear! So lovely to hear from someone else who is in a similar position! I have struggled with SW a little this week as I'm still dealing with this constant guilt I feel about eating even 'good' foods. I was discussing with my bf today my relationship with food, both he and I are very...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum. I joined slimming world one week ago having struggled with an eating disorder since I was 13. Now 21, I feel ready to take control and try healthier steps to feeling more confident. I have to admit though, my first weigh in is on Thursday and I am very nervous...
