I'd love to lose 6.5 stone, but realistically I've never been this so that was just a guess! If I get to 4 stones lost and I'm a nice trim size then I'll just have to stop. I set my target at 12 stones for now, and I'd like to get my first award next week. To lose two stone by the end of my 12...

We've been together for 9 months now, and we've had that conversation several times, which is how I'm able to eat fruit in front of him. That isn't really an option I'm afraid, I can't be at home for those days, it's their way or the high way. I think over the years it's become a genuine...

My boyfriend despises anything healthy or different, he will start pretending to be sick and gagging if he even thinks about new or healthy food (although if I prepare it myself and eat it without talking about it he copes). So he doesn't have any of that "filth" as he calls it in the house...

I'm not adverse to fruit and veg (just the opposite) but sometimes it can be a pain :)

I'm a keen baker and homemade is sooo much nicer!

No, I'm sure. The picture and the description was of Kerry regular Cheesestrings :)

Here here! I gave you the wrong username tonight like a moron :)

In the last magazine it said that two Kerry Cheesestrings (not light, regular) could be a Healthy Extra A choice. But on the site it says no such thing! I'm inclined to believe the magazine because they may not have got around to updating the site. Any advice? I do love Cheesestrings, makes me...

Oh my Gods, a GP really said that?

I think the 1 third Superfree rule is what helps, plus fat gets cut down due to the cooking methods. I'm not sure, I personally think that our bodies thrive on a mixed diet though :)

If it helps, there is an old Japanese (I think) tradition of meditating, then imagining yourself walking through each room in your house, if you meet anyone in a room, it may be haunted. No idea if it's true or not :)

Thanks guys, kinda makes it not such a good deal if you have to pay double!

I'm fed up of failing on my own and am going to buy a 6 week count down when a new group opens in my town, will I have to pay to join up on top of the cash for the 6 weeks attendance?

Requested by my mum! I remember seeing a recipe for it somewhere, with a garlic and chive filling maybe?

Does anyone know the value? It makes great potato salad.

I'm going on a big night out on the 6th of October, and I want to lose at least 10lbs before then. Does 10lbs make a difference in clothes and your body? I'll still be over 200lbs at that point so still quite big. How much did you lose before somebody noticed?

Thank you for the faith everyone! I'll do my best :)

I'm going back to school on the 5th of September, and I have about 5 stones to lose alltogether. Could I be a 5th of the way there by the 5th? Appeals to my OCD :rolleyes:

A healthy extra B choice of bran flakes, some fat free natural yogurt and strawberries sprinkled with splenda :)

Spot on! My mum is a nurse and hates watching House for the same reason. I'm sure 99% of people would do more research than reading 50 Shades if they wanted anything similar, so probably it won't do that much harm, just gets me a bit riled ya know? ;)

-2 pounds for me :)

Thank you :grouphugg: I know I shouldn't make excuses for him, but he really is very gentle with me. He's been pretty sheltered, I'm the only mentally unhealthy/unemployed/non hetrosexual person he's ever known! His mother tried to stop him seeing me when she found out. Silly cow, he's 23! I...

Dear Mum, I know we don't have much money around, but can we please do something about the fleas? The drop stuff just gets licked off and treating the carpets only kills one generation so only lasts 10 days. I hate looking down when I have an itch and seeing little black dots crawling on me it...

Dear boyfriend, I do love you but you are not always kind... 1. Yes, I live in a Middle Class house. Because my mother bought my father out of his half so as not to disturb our lives anymore, and now we all scrimp and save to afford the bills and the morgage. We go cold in the winter...

I have to say, while they are pretty sexy, these books are bad for bondage. The biggest part of any BDSM play is consent, which Mr Grey doesn't seem to mind manipulating out of the girl. And cable ties?! Let's just say that if he behaved in a proper BDSM club the way he does in the books he...

Written this down for when we next do a shop! Sounds to die for :)

It sounds like it would! But I loose weight so I figure I must be eating an ok amount :)

Has anyone doing Slimming World tried counting up their daily calories just to see? I'm curious...

+1 this week, but I know why and that's actually two weeks worth of weight gain so I'm not too worried.

Lost 4.5 pounds, bringing me to the grand total of... 4.5 pounds :D

Mmm this was so yummy! Next time I would add more of the bovril (I only used about half) and more of the mixed spice then less of the herbs. But it was quite delicious.

Lost 4.5 pounds, bringing me to the grand total of... 4.5 pounds :D

Well I weighed my self late in the day, after a binge and fresh out of the shower and I had still lost 2.5 pounds so I'll probably still have lost tomorrow. I'll just have to be 100% for a week to avoid a nasty catch up!

Junk mostly. Do you know of any little tricks to aid water retention?

Yes, that makes sense. Are there any ways to get rid of water retention?

Long story short I've had a stressful day and have gone off the rails a bit, I have my weigh in tomorrow morning and I'd be really upset if one mistake day meant that I didn't lose. Am I likely to put on in -24 hours?

Looking up some syns I think.

Food shopping today... Must get some Pink 'n' Whites. Are they nice?

A week in Sa Coma at the end of May :)

Hmm... Maybe someone on this thread can help me, aaaages ago I watched a documentary about a welsh female journalist who was quite big and it charted her attempts at finding a way to lose weight. Does anyone know what it was called?

Dear Stalker, I've asked you twice now to stop contacting me, texting asking me if I had "finally calmed down" was not smart. You've come to my house un-asked, you keep contacting me, and making a big deal of the fact that you live in the same tiny town as me. GO AWAY!

Kat Von D, Nigella Lawson and Karen Gillan :D

I met my partner on OkCupid, when we started talking I was with someone else who I loved so much but who abused and left me. I was left really traumatised and depressed and Nick was there to pick me up and help me recover. We got together on the first day of spring when I was at my heaviest and...

Honk for today, Sunday, Saturday and Friday!

It should depend on your weight, the heavier you are the harder you work! :)

I always do Green days, and when I've done well on Slimming World in the past I always did Green. At the time I didn't know that I had PCOS and still did well stuffing myself with pasta for some reason... Anyway, I'm planning on having a couple of Extra Easy days this week because I fancy a nice...

Wow well done! I can't wait to be a 10.

I'll join in! It's my first proper weigh in on Wednesday and I'm aiming for 2-3 pounds off :)

That's still loads better than buying something similar from Burger King! I say enjoy it, and enjoy the fact that you can eat it and still lose weight.

Ooh thanks everyone, I'll serve up these this week with some Slimming World chips :)

I saw a recipe on here aaages ago for homemade burgers that have Babybel cheeses in the middle, so that when they cook the cheese melts. I'm thinking of trying a few Extra Easy days and I bet these would be great for my family. Does anyone have a recipe for these?

Oooh, could I please have the crispy kale recipe? Sounds yummy.

100% today! I'm hoping for 100% until Wednesday for a good loss on my second weigh in.

I have PCOS, with all the classic symptoms alas! I've been told that It's almost a sure thing that I can't have children. That was a real blow to me, because even though I'm 19 and wouldn't dream of a baby now I had dreams for the future.

I had my first WI yesterday, and I must admit I was a bit naughty afterwards... And today! But 100% the rest of the week and I should lose.

I'm going away on the 22nd, I'm not sure how realistic it is for me to lose a stone by then... But I'm giving it a damn good try! :D

Well due to money troubles there was no holiday last year in our house, so this will be a special one. I'd like to lose half to a whole stone before I go, which is possible if I average a healthy 2 pounds a week. I know I'll have put on when I get back, but hopefully it wont be too bad seeing...

I know the feeling, the worst offenders (apart from all the childhood bullies) have been my grandma and my ex boyfriend. My grandma meant well I think, but she constantly commented on my weight as a younger child, and whenever I stayed there she dragged me out of bed every morning to weigh me...

I usually like to have a (fat free) probiotic yogurt with my breakfast, now that I'm doing Slimming World properly I want to make sure that they're free. In theory they should be seeing as it's just plain fat free yogurt?

May I join? I used to drink it all the time but have fallen out of the habit.

Well done! I really must go back to using mine...

Can someone give me the syns for this on a green day? I fancy a Slimming World friendly cheese and pickle sandwich! :D

Mmmm can't wait to test these! :D

Ooohh I adore jelly sweets! Thanks a bunch!

Good point! When I went to groups I starved all day because I was paranoid that my hard work wouldn't show on the scales. Lots of other women there admited to doing the same thing so it wasn't just me. Now I don't have to!

I know the feeling! I was out in the freezing cold this morning with only a very juicy apple to eat. My fingers got cold :(

I've been called just about everything you can think of, by people I know and by random kiddies in the street. At this point I just give them the two finger salute and get on with my day! :p

I made a store cupboard pasta sauce with four ingredients, and froze half, so thats dinner tomorrow taken care of too! :D

I often do this, but I have the quote in my signature drilled into my head and it really gives me some perspective. Hope it helps you too! :)

I wouldn't worry as it was a special occasion, I'm sure getting back to normal will absorb the extra intake. Don't be disheartened :)

I'm going it alone too. I can't really afford the fiver a week and discussing my ups and downs in a big group isn't really for me... I can see how it would help lots of people, just not me! I'm going to hang around on here, I have a weight loss/fitness related Tumblr and I always try to get the...

Hiya everyone, At only 18 I'm already a serial dieter and I'm looking for a new approach. My grandma forced me onto Slimming World when I was 14 so I was reluctant but I have to admit it worked! I'm a Green day girl because I'm a pasta addict and I love trying out new pasta sauces and bakes...

Not exactly on topic but might help, buying cheap frozen berries and stirring them into porridge in the morning is a great way to get your superfree with breakfast.

I only ever plan to do Green days, mostly because I am a pasta addict but also because I get two portions of cheese. It doesn't feel like a diet at all! :D

Yeah, I'm pretty lazy. I never do anything that I can put off its terrible...:break_diet:

I resisted (somehow) my favorite Southern Fried Chicken Wrap from the Co-op.

Wow, that's really useful! Thanks :)

Oh no! I've been having pre-grated cheese for ages, I usually have mozarella and it's far easier to get the grated stuff. I'll use up what I have and see how I loose...

It isn't the cheapest option, but I sometimes buy bags of mixed salad. It's a way of getting a really nice salad, which can make a delicious healthy lunch, without lots of chopping. Often I just add in some chopped up babybell cheeses or Quorn ham for my lunch.

That actually isn't too bad, I've had those before and they are seriously nice! With some Slimming World chips... Ok I know what I'm having for my tea... :D

I know how you feel as I have just restarted as well, here's hoping it works for both of us this time! Don't let anyone bully you about your weight, low self esteem will only lead to more eating I know this from experiance. We are intelligent, strong women no matter what we weigh! :grouphugg:

Count me in everyone! I'd like to lose 7lbs. Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (4lbs lost - 10.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (3lbs lost - 2 lbs to go) Chill11 - 14lb (1lb lost-13lb to go) ClaireA - 14lbs (0 lbs lost -...

Hello everyone! :flowers: I did SW a little while ago but went through hard times and quit, I'm doing the plan from home now and am going to save the £5 I would have spent on the group every week to treat myself every now and then. I'm only 18 but I've been overweight my whole life! This might...

I'm doing it at home too! Mostly because I don't have money or transport, and I may have just had bad luck with groups but whenever I've been to one in the past I havn't found them very friendly. This forum is great motivation anyway, all I need! :D
