Thank you :) In the week I found it easier and I saved my syns up for the weekend when I see my fiance and we inevitably end up eating out. This week it was slightly harder due to the Bank Holiday but I made good choices when we ate out like steak or chicken even though I wanted many other...

Thank you :) I have tried every diet and healthy eating plan going, and Slimming World is by far the most sensible. Plus I like that it gets me making things instead of merely heating everything up. Good luck you can easily do this xxx

Thank you! :) I know how disheartening it can be but you can so do it again. You don't have much to lose. Starting again is the first step. Good luck xxx

Thank you! Yeah I feel happier and more in control and definitely more positive. I just have to keep going. xx

Aahh thank you! If I can do half as good as you I will feel great. I am in the right frame of mind and I am determined this time. Just need to take it a week at a time. Good luck to you too xxx

Well done! You're so close now xx

Hi everyone hope you're all doing good and have had a good week. Thanks for the words of support ;) I have had a very busy week- what with the bank holiday and starting a new job. Anyway I weighed myself this morning and dun dun dunnnn I have lost 7lbs!!! :p I know a lot of that will be water...

Hi thank you :) good luck to you too, hope you've had a good week. Mine has been very busy! We can do this! :cool:

Thank you :) I feel a little less upset about it all now and just determined. Good luck to you and congratulations on your success so far :D xxx

Aahh thanks Hun :) I do feel determined this time. I love this forum it is so inspirational and supportive. Congrats on your success. ;) xxx

Thank you, that is such a good idea! I will write one tomorrow definitely. I hope I can be as successful as you. Thanks again :) xxx

Aahhh thank you, You've done great so far. It's always a bit daunting starting again. We can do this xxx

Thank you :) I think the shock and misery has developed into anger and determination, 2 days at a time is good idea xxx

:( Hello everyone hope you're all doing great. I am back again and at my all time heaviest. I was on here just a few months ago and I reckon I have put on an additional 2 stone in about 4 months!! How crazy is that! :mad: I am so totally humiliated that this time I can't give up no...

Hi everyone...I am sneaking in here with my head bowed down in shame... last time I was on this website which wasn't long ago I was at my heaviest and now I am 2 stone heavier in like 4 months. Enough is enough no more binge eating. I feel thoroughly ashamed of myself. I am now 19stone on the...

So after being all proud of myself for losing 5lbs in my first week after switching from Atkins and it being Easter and all that jazz... I had a bit of a binge yesterday. However unlike in the past where I would have spent today all fed up and guilt ridden I have decided to stick to plan 100%...

I have never done WW but I just feel SW is really very manageable when your head is in the right place. Good luck to you too. We can do this :)

Thank you! Wow Open University well done you, that is meant to be extra tough. I am so over studying, just can't wait to finish now. xx

2 x bread from 400g loaf (hex b), scrambled egg and sliced vine tomatoes. More brunch than lunch as I had it late. But it was yummy. :) xx

I can't seem to motivate myself to work on my essay today. Not sure why I decided to do a postgrad degree. I HATE studying. Anyway just a little moan. I have stuck to plan so something is going right. Have a good day everyone. xx

Chicken, Red pepper, mushroom and red onion kebabs- served with SW chips and oven roasted Mediterranean style veg. Yum Yum. I'm making my fiance this tonight too. He better like it. :)

I've spent the best part of 12 years starting and restarting one diet or another. If your head aint in the right place it's easy to beat yourself up and feel demotivated. I am bored of bumping into old friends or acquaintances who have lost loads of weight... I want it to be my turn. You can do...

I have lost 5lb and I went out twice over the Easter weekend for dinner. One of the nights out involved a LOT of Chinese food. So I am really happy. I saved my syns up on the days before and I stuck to plan on the days I went out for dinner. Hope everyone else had a fab Easter xx

Thank you Christina. I only do the dvd in mine every morning but I would like to join a class. I love it. xx

Sorry if this has been posted 3 billion times already, but I can't find a definite answer anywhere.. Anyone have any idea how many syns one of them cheap chocolate Easter eggs are? You know the £1 variety that are everywhere at the moment. Not the chocolate bar that comes with it, just the...

I did a sneaky weight-in of myself this morning just so I have a rough idea of what I weighed before my weekend at my fiance's parents. I have lost 3lbs which I think is excellent as I have only been doing SW for a few days. But I will see what I actually weigh next Tuesday as this weekend may...

Hi, thanks :) It's nice knowing local people are on here it is true. I forgot about Biggin Hill pool, I've never been in there actually but it does look nice. Good luck to you too xx

My family are eating Mcdonalds downstairs. I just needed to share this. I am doing my nails and sipping water.:wave_cry:

Oh thanks that's not too far from my work, I shall definitely check it out xx

Where abouts in Covent Garden? xx

I want to lose weight so I can finally be me... Sounds soppy and a bit hippy dippy but I want people to see me as me not my weight. In my head I don't see myself as big as I now am. I want to walk along the street without worrying about what I look like. I love clothes and gorgeous fabric and...

I know what you mean! I am looking for somewhere nice to go swimming near where I work in the West End as the pools near where I live aint all that. This is proving tricky.

Am I allowed to just about scrape into this group? xx

I can't believe how much better I feel after 2 days on SW after a week on Atkins. I am sleeping again, I managed to do some exercise yesterday and today and I'm not constantly thinking about food. As sad as it sounds I feel excited about this. Keep going everybody, almost time for a long...

Thank you :) Good luck to you too. I know I tried Atkins just because I wanted to shift some weight quickly, but it just made me think about food constantly, have terrible headaches and not sleep. I can't live on meat alone. It has done me a bit of a favour though because now SW seems so...

Thanks I will definitely holla for some advice on groups if I decide I need to join one in the coming weeks. I am near Bromley, where abouts are you? xx

Thank you, good luck to you too. Yep just rolling with the punches. :) xx

Hello :) thanks! Yeah there doesn't seem to be many Londoners on here does there! I am doing SW alone at the moment because I work in central London and by the time I get home to sunny south London it is sometimes quite late. I feel ok at the moment not going to a group, but if I feel like I...

Interesting thread... I have been on and off some form of diet or plan since I was about 15-16, which I now regret. I think if I had just waited till I was about 18 and got more focused and exercised a bit more things would have worked out better and I wouldn't have got stuck in this rut. I was...

I have to say after a week of Atkins, SW seems so much more 'normal' and manageable. I will be staying with my fiance and his family this weekend for the Easter bank holidays. Although I have told my fiance about my new way of eating etc.. I don't really want to go in to details with his family...

Thank you :) I need a lot of luck haha. Good luck to you too. xx

Hi :wavey: thanks! Let's do this once and for all. Good luck xx

Hi thank you. Yep the quick fix is so tempting but it just doesn't work for me. We can do this!! xx

Thank you :) I have to do this, this time xx

Hello, Just found some old posts on here I did last year when I started the Cambridge diet, I couldn't stick to it :( so then I did SW for a few weeks and then life took over and almost a year later I have put on about another 10lbs. Anyway, I started Atkins last week in a state of desperation...

Hello one and all ok so... I'm 30 from London and I am fed up with my weight dictating how I feel. A couple of weeks ago I started the Cambridge Weight Plan. Sadly I could only do it for a week as the products made me want to gag and as a result I was basically surviving on herbal tea all day...

Well my first week is over. The good news is I lost 10lbs... the bad news is I am giving up Cambridge! I just don't think for me personally it is healthy as I just couldn't swallow any of the products and as such have basically starved myself this week and survived on green tea and water which...

Day 6 nearly over and I really don't know what to do. I made porridge this morning before work at 7am and couldn't eat it all because I hate it. I took soup to work and again didn't eat it because the thought of eating it made me sick. I am now at home forcing it down me. So from 6:30 am till...

Thanks for the tip Tizzy but I am finding it really hard to stomach the soups and shakes not sure what to do! xx

Thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll try that too ;) xx

Yeah I think I am going to ask my CDC for some this week and hoping she lets me have the bars a week earlier then we are meant to have them as I think I will find it a bit easier with them :) xx

Aaww I had a bit of an emotional day yesterday, a nice long bath always makes me feel better :) xx

Oh thanks Sharon, how are you finding it? My weigh in is on Thursday morning xx

No Yolande I think I may order some this week. Is it the chocolate tetra that can be made into hot chocolate do you know? xx

Right here is my moan of the day... I hate the milkshakes, I hate the porridge and I can only just about swallow some of the soups I ordered. Therefore I keep not eating all of my sachets as I just can't swallow them. I know you're not meant to have the bars till week 3 but I may have to ask if...

Aawww thanks for all your lovely replies. Well day 4 is nearly done and it's been a bit tough again. I have been at work and had a shake for breakfast and divided the soup in two to have over my 2 breaks. I couldn't eat all the soup as it wasn't very nice but nevermind. I have just seen my Mum...

Day 3 was a little hellish in parts, mainly because after a 12 hour shift I just want something carby to soothe my soul. However I managed to stick 100% to SS!! I usually get a blt sandwich from M&S or something over priced from Pret a bleedin manger for my lunch and for some reason yesterday I...

Aaaww cheers for the tips tizzy, this forum is fantastic! Certainly keeping me going and I feel really positive :) Good luck and best wishes CC xx

Good thinking...just one question if I tip the sachet into a mug and add hot water and stir does it come out alright? I've been using that shaker thing for my soup too. Wish I had got some chocolate ones to make hot choc now, I don't like cold chocolate milkshake. I know I'm weird!. Good luck...

Yolande I must confess to having read several of your posts a few weeks ago and found them beyond inspirational! Thanks for the reassurance with regards to SS. I am looking forward to being able to try the bars in a few weeks! Until then it's soup/shakes and the not so delightful porridge...

Day 2 almost done. Today I had the apple and whatever it is porridge for a late breakfast, which I have to say is ok. I will remember to just order that flavour next week. Had a vanilla shake for lunch which was sweet but ok and vegetable soup for dinner which was again alright. I'm being a bit...

Oh cheers for this info!! My job involves talking to a lot of posh-artsy people all day long and the thought of my mouth drying out and that breath issue makes me want to cry a little bit. Good luck to you too! xx:)

Aaww thanks for the replys demonp and tizzy51 :D I woke up really late again today, good job I'm not working but saying that I do have lots of work to do for uni!! So far I feel ok, a little bit achey like I am getting a cold, but just going to keep drinking the water. Little bit worried as I...

Day 1 is just about done...get in! My evaluation of my first day is basically: The porridge is rank, shake is do-able and the soup (chicken and mushroom) was actually pretty nice. I have been weeing like a race horse even though I have only managed to drink 2litres of water today. Overall I feel...

Yeah my CDC seems really sweet and said she's happy for me to swap anything I don't like but to be honest I am just going to try and grin and bear it ;) I usually like porridge so hopefully I will get used to it.

Thanks for replying... Well I'm on day 1 and woke up late as went to bed late last night. Just attempted to eat the porridge for a very late breakfast and I must admit I think it is vile! Oh dear God I have another 6 sachets of the stuff to get thru this week. Anyone have any tips to make the...

Tomorrow morning I will begin CD and hopefully it will be the start of a big transformation for me. I have a LOT to loose, about 7 stone! But this time I am absolutely determined. Can't believe how I have got to this weight but I think it is actually easier to put on quite a bit of weight then...

Hello everybody, I'm starting my first day of SW today. I am doing it at home alone as I can't get to any classes in time after work. Sadly I have battled with my weight throughout my teens and twenties :( and I am turning the big 3-0 next year so I really want to get this under control once...
