I do have some carbs. Usually around 15 grams per day then with 60 grams of protein and 100 grams of fat this brings me to 1200 calories. If I stall then I just adjust the protein and increase the fat. I drink 2 x 24 ozs of water too, one with a teaspoon of himalayan rock salt to keep up my...

Dont know much about Atkins other than its low carbs. Keto is low carbs high fat (lchf). Eating a high level of fat takes some getting your head around after being told you need to eat low fat this and fat free that but its working for me. I'm also in a group on FB where people share their...

Hi everyone. I've not been on Minimims for a good while but hopefully I'm able to pop on more often now. I was following SW previously but recently started a ketogenic way of eating. I would love to link up with anyone else who's trying this. Ive lost quite a bit since starting so looking...

I've just come back to Minimims after a good while. I was on SW previously and lost some weight. However, couldn't stick to it for very long. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes some time ago and advised to lose weight. No medication at that point just diet and lifestyle. Well I found myself...

Just think when you total up your weight loss to date what this is equivalent to.... 1 pound = a Guinea Pig 2 pounds = a rack of baby back ribs 3 pounds = an average human brain 4 pounds = an ostrich egg 5 pounds = a Chihuahua 6 pounds = a human’s skin 7.5 pounds = an average newborn 8 pounds =...

Let's all have a bit of fun!! I'm going to try to repost the original list and see who has lost the equivalent to the items on it.

Let's get this thread going again.

I wouldnt be without mine. I do roast potatoes more than chips. Delish...

Great to see you back Pete. Your recipes are classic

Can I join please? Would love to lose 5lbs for New Year

Well done!

Yeah it's good to get back in the swing of things. I've not been able to get to group for the past 2 weeks but going to try hard to get there next week. Hoping for a loss ☺

You've done really well with the 2lbs off!! Bit of a bummer about the Club 10 though :doh: but that should give you more incentive to get it next week. Good luck!! :clap:

Hi there. Again as I said before, our bodies are a law unto themselves. Sometimes we lose when we think we've gained and vice versa. You say 'most' of the recipes you use are SW ones. I would try to make all of them SW friendly and see how that goes. What's your portion size like? Are you...

Cod with SW chips and salad

My next goal after the May challenge I'm in is to get my Club 10. I have 14.5lbs to go. :scale: :innocent0001:

Try some of these recipes, there's something for everyone. Click on the first link which is Pete's thread and the second link is the index to all the recipes that Pete has done. ;) http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/250434-petes-recipe-book.html...

Are people sticking to how this should be recorded? I've got a bit lost with it. :confused:

Anyone remember the Turkish delight ones....?? They bring these delicious ones out get you all hooked and then discontinue them...not fair!! :mad:

Stop worrying. It's still an achievement to lose that amount. Sometimes our bodies do their own thing until they settle down into Plan. Almost like they fight back. You just have to stick at it. It will get better. Keep us posted. Remember every little loss counts!! ;)

:wow: That's fantastic S_J_B :happy096: You must be feeling high as a kite with those losses. :)

You look fantastic caramumofmany! My hubby has promised me a tummy tuck when I've got to target and I've been seriously looking at Poland. I know someone who had a boob job over there and she was really pleased with the result and she said the customer care she received was excellent. it's just...

Don't be embarrassed using the scales in the pharmacy...it's what they're there for. Just go at a quieter time if you feel that way. You're not at risk of breaking them so go for it....:p

Do you go to group to get weighed? If so just stick to that. Home scales are not always that accurate anyway. 6lbs off is fantastic!! :party0011:

What about the mint ones they had a while ago....nom nom :drool:

Another guinea pig gone...:giveup:

Is there an up to date index for the recipes Pete?

Well when I've finished I'll have lost a leg, a gallon of paint and almost a brain....lol :silly::giggle::rotflmao:

Hi there. I think you're beating yourself up a bit here. You've lost 9lbs in 6 weeks and that's really good. Don't worry about not losing one time. Our bodies are a law unto themselves sometimes. Lots of people have weeks when they've done everything they can and either put on or maintained...

Maybe the last 8lbs will come off bit by bit. You've done brilliantly so far. Well done!! :clap:

This is great....will be useful when you know you want to but think should you? :17729:

I lost 2 lbs this week and got my half stone award. Really pleased with that. :D

Well done you! :)

What a lot of people forget is that the weight you're carrying didn't go on overnight....therefore it's not going to come off overnight. I think you're doing really well considering you've had a birthday...you have to treat yourself on your birthday don't you? Good luck!! When is your weigh in day?

Hi. I've had an under-active thyroid for the last 15 years. I've been known to lose 4lbs on one occasion. Usually it's 1 or 2lbs. As long as it's coming off it doesn't matter how long it takes. As Janet said, as long as you are on the correct medication it nay take time but keep going.

Grilled salmon, new potatoes and peas

:welcome: Tuiteth. Good luck with achieving your goal. :)

Look forward to seeing you on the challenges. :)

Back on SW and this site after 3 years and good to see you doing so well. Congratulations on the maintained weight loss. The recipes are as good as ever. Will be following them as before. xx

:wow: JustKia that's fantastic

I don't believe in giving myself unachieveable goals so I've set to lose 8lbs in May. Anything more is a bonus and would be a real boost to be honest. Not sure yet about the summer one. I'll have to work on that.

Hi. There's a few challenges on here which I think might be what you're looking for. There's one for May and one for summer. Come on board. What have you got to lose except pounds? ;)

:welcome: to you both. I hope you have a lot of fun on here and lose weight while you're doing just that. :D

Just use your flexisyns for Saturday. It's only one day and you can pull it back the rest of the week. Just keep to plan, fill in your food diaries if you need to. There's some challenges on here you might find useful. I've joined one for May where I've committed to lose 8lbs and a summer one...

:welcome: *Phoenix* a stone off already? You've done amazing, well done!! June is still quite a way off (depends if you meant the beginning or the end ;)) and you could still achieve your goal. Sometimes our bodies don't do what we want them to do....or they do it in their own time lol. You can...

Welcome back. You're not alone, I did the same, lost 2 stone and then stopped going to group. Put the 2 stone back on and more besides. Not been on here since around 2012. Anyway I'm back on track and looking forward to a new healthier lifestyle.

Just back from 2 weeks holiday. I started ....again....2 weeks before I went away. I started at 16st 4lb and I lost 4.5lb up to going which made me 15st 13.5lb. hoping I've done ok since I got back. Weigh in tomorrow :) OOps...looks like I've got trigger finger :D

Just had 2 weeks off on holiday. I was 15st 13.5 when I was last weighed. Due again tomorrow. Hoping I've done ok. :)

I'm 14st 1.5lbs. Was 14st .5lbs last week but put on 1lb this week. Trying tom get down to the next stone zone...next week I hope! Good luck with your weight loss journey!!

Put 1lb on so next week I need the 1.5lbs to get down to the next stone zone...:innocent0001:

Another guinea pig gone for me... ;)

I agree with you PatchworkPuss....when you cheat, the only person you're cheating is yourself. Isn't that the point of having syns?...so you can have treats within the plan?

You're always there with support for others on here and that's quite clear to see. Now it's everybody else's turn to be there for you. It's what this forum is all about! :) Fingers crossed for Friday...and just to add to what others have said...your new profile pic is lovely. Good luck hun...

Well done you! That's a great loss...but I don't think the plan you followed will work every week...lol :D Good luck with your weight loss journey. ;)

You'll look fabulous for your OH coming home anyway...just relax...get better and keep at it. :D

Well done you! :wee: That's a fabulous loss..keep it up! :D

Are you doing SW as your profile suggests you're following Exante?...:confused:

Hi and :welcome2: Lots of people are slow losers...the main thing is that they are losing...so are you! Good luck with your weight loss journey...and the op. :)

That's the same for me too. :confused: I can't imagine going in a shop at the moment and picking up a size 14...wishful thinking maybe...lol

Hi and :welcome2: Don't worry about asking questions at your group as that's what the Consultants are there for. Syns are there to be had and the recommended amount is between 5 - 15 per day. You might find it a bit difficult at first to get your head round the fact you will be eating lots...

Try just one of the plans for a week and see how you get on. Some people thrive on EE, others on Red or Green. It may also be that you don't have that much to lose and your body may feel right around the weight you are and will need an extra little push. There is also the Success Express...

Go for it....this week is your week hun...might as well go all out :D

I believe if you want to (or have to) lose weight and become healthier then you need to do it for yourself. :) Yeah it'll be great to swan past those doubting Thomas' looking fab in a dress size 10/12/14 whatever size but you have to think you'll get more satisfaction from being able to climb...

Well done on losing the 3 stone from before. I'm sure you'll see great results with SW. It does work if you follow the Plan. ;) Good luck with your weight loss journey! :D

Don't worry too much about your 1lb. I agree maybe you should stick with what you know. :) Don't give up...it's a hell of a long road but there's fun and games en route! :D Good luck for this week.;)

Oh yes and that too! :rolleyes:

I love the quiche...and the SW KFC...and the SW kebabs...etc etc etc :D

Hoping the guinea pig is gone for good this week! :sigh: An ostrich egg gone would make me feel even better :D

9lbs off since Christmas is fab....well done you! :D They do say to lose between 1 and 2 lbs per week is good as it gives your body chance to get used to the different way of eating and also gives your skin chance to reduce a bit too. Are you aiming for the 4 stone off for next Christmas? All...

Hi and :welcome2: I'm sure you'll be fine once you've been to group and got your head around the fact you can eats loads and not feel hungry. Coming on here will help motivate you as well and the support is fantastic! Best advice is stick to the plan. If you fall off the wagon then just draw...

Firstly, may I wish you a speedy recovery and you need to get back to 100% before you can concentrate on anything else. :) Secondly, I agree with everyone that you should consider going back to your old group. It appears to me that you were more comfortable there and we all need that feeling...

Well done for the 8lbs loss in 3 weeks. :clap: The only thing I would say is make sure 1/3 of your plate is filled with superfree on the EE days. I noticed your breakfast... Breakfast: 28g Nestle Clusters (Hex B) and Milk (Hex A) and Instant Latte (3 syns)...hadn't got any superfree...

Everybody has their ups and downs and little things like this are part of normal daily life. It's good you recognised your limit now and decided to stick to your daily syns. Keep it up!

Unless you make the Scan Bran chocolate cake! :rolleyes: Personally I wouldn't advise eating cake at all as you may over indulge and then that would spoil any progress you've made. If you're anything like me I wouldn't stop at one piece. :sigh: You're going to have to rethink why you're on...

I don't particularly like plain old water so I started drinking the flavoured water. It helps me get my daily quota of liquids down and it certainly does help with weight loss. Any weight loss programme will advise you to drink plenty of fluids...and diet coke/pepsi is fine too! :party0027:

Everyone deserves to have lazy days...and weeks! After all it's hard work losing weight...lol :D

I thought the Muller rice was synned?

Hi and :welcome2: back to SW. :) It's a little bit more difficult to lose weight fast when you have thyroid problems but that's not to say it doesn't come off altogether. I have thyroid problems as do a few people on here. Slowly but surely is the motto. ;) SW does work and its been tried...

If bread makes you bloated then maybe you need to check out if you have a wheat allergy. I've never had this diagnosed myself but I used to get a bloated feeling after eating normal white bread. I love bread and could eat half a loaf in one go but since I've been on SW I've changed to having...

I agree with everyone...your consultant should be promoting all the plans not just EE. :confused: However, I'm sure the people who are vegetarian and following the Green plan on here will help you regardless of that and will also be able to advise re recipes etc. The weight will start to come...

Hi Korrigan and :welcome2: Yeah tomorrow is another day indeed. :) Concentrate on getting well first as any weight loss eating plan is something you have to get your head around to make it meaningful but that's often difficult if you're not 100%. The plan obviously worked as you had a fab...

I found them at last! :wee: I love them :drool: My local Tesco's hadn't got any and neither had the one in the next town. I even tried Morrisons but no such luck. I found them in Asda near to work (35 miles away :rolleyes:) Bought a whole tray full...:D I got the chocolate philly there too...

Finally found it...in Asda near to work. :D My local Tesco's haven't got any, neither had the one in the next town. :sigh: I got two tubs and intend making a Scan Bran chocolate cake and putting the philly in the middle a la Victoria sponge style :drool: Watch this space! ;)

I have days like that too and it is usually when I know I've put on. It must be a physical thing as well as a psychological thing. Don't worry, stay on track. It might just be a bit of water retention. I'm sure you've put nowhere near a stone on :rolleyes:

I went to Goa for the first time in the 90's and I loved it so much I bought a timeshare there. I've been about a couple of dozen times since, even spent a whole month there over the millenium Christmas and New Year and would certainly recommend it to anyone. The people are lovely, the food is...

Well done! Don't be put off if 1lb is all you lose. SW recommend about 1-2lbs loss each week anyway. It gives you time to get your head around different eating habits the longer the weight takes to come off. Nevertheless, a lb off is better than a lb on! :D Good luck on your weight loss...

Gained half a guinea pig...:sigh:

You seem to have it sorted...or is the ticker showing the old one? If it is then it's showing the same as your stats.

No worries. There's lots of threads on here for different things. Take your time and look around and holla if you need to. :D

Hi and :welcome2: Well done on your losses so far! :D You're right about the support and motivation on here...it's fab!! ;) I'm a Tuesday weigher too. The. re's a thread for it if you want to join in.

This was my wedding dress when I got married 3 and half years ago. I bought it from an Ebay Wedding Shop. It had a lace up corset back and was covered in tiny little pearls. The bodice was very elaborately embroidered. I was chuffed to bits with it.

Regardless what you do some people are just not romantic. Cards, flowers and chocolates are not a priority for some men. Most of them always have their mind on something else... :sigh: My husband isn't the most romantic but he's getting there...needs a reminder sometimes but has improved...

Don't give up hun...that's what forums like this are for...to help people like yourself who are a bit lost when it comes to slimming. :) What weight loss programme are you following..or want to follow? If it's SW then you're in the right place. :) First of all you need to decide which Plan...

I've looked in two major Tesco's and a large Morrisons but not seen sight of it yet... A trip to Asda on the cards...might find mint Mullers there too...:rolleyes:

Was disappointed but not gutted. I'm back on it already! Next is the Easter challenge...I'm determined to make that one! ;)

Me and hubby have been married 3 and half years and we do Valentines Day with cards and he buys me either flowers or a plant. :lilkiss: This year he bought me a bonsai plant which I love and which will last longer than flowers. He does loads around the house and cooks wonderful food too. I...

Half on for me this week....:sigh: Acc 35lbs (3lbs lost - 32lbs to go) Aesir 47lbs ( 5.5lbs lost~ 41.5lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (5lbs lost - 9lbs to go) Alwyn 29lbs (0lbs lost - 29lbs to go) Babygirl1987 (0lbs lost - 40lbs to go) Beki 40.5lb (5lb lost ~ 35.5lb to go) Beautiful.XTC 20lbs...

Half on for me this week...:sigh:

Half on for me this week...:sigh:

Yeah I need it more than ever now...had a half pound gain this week...:sigh:

Have all of you gone over to SW? Just a thought as this was posted in the SW forum....

Yes all the groups are having it although not sure if they're all doing the same 12 week period. becciharland - It's good that this has you motivated. Seems like you love a challenge? Good luck for your weight loss this week! :D

Just a note on the thyroid issue....there are quite a number of people on here, me included, that have thyroid problems. The weight losses are said to take longer as the metabolism is slower but I know those people are still having good losses. Any loss is better than none...and even better than...

Hi and :welcome2: Your weight loss goal is achievable if you aim for around 3 - 3.5lbs loss per week. What weight loss programme are you folowing?

:wow:You're an inspiration! :happy036:

I doubt I'll reach the target for this challenge but hoping for a couple of lbs off tonight at WI. :fingerscrossed: Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (9lbs lost - 5.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (8 lbs lost - -3lbs to go)...

I love my SW group. We have such a laugh and there are some real characters! Underpinning all that there is loads of support, motivation and ideas. We have our own Facebook page which is very well used where the support can continue online too. :cool: I'm one where I need the group thing as I...

Yes at our group it's the same, either a loss or a maintain the previous week as well as losing the most in the current week gets you SOTW. Natccox - 2.5lbs is a good loss anyway. Well done you! :happy096:

How true!! ;) :8855:

Or a food flask for soup? :confused:

That's a fantastic weight loss in the time you've been on SW hun. Sometimes we do get a bit anxious before WI day and that's very common but nothing to worry about. Even if you do have a blip then draw a line under it and don't worry about it. It happens...that's life! Rejoice in the fact it is...

Firstly you need to decide which Plan you're following. From what you say you've had for breakfast it seems like you're not eating enough anyway and that's probably why you're hungry. Don't forget the Healthy Extras too as they are important. Extra Easy is where you have to have 1/3 of your...

Hi nickycc41 and :welcome2: to you too. Stick to the Plan and the results will speak for themselves. Good luck on your weight loss journey! ;)

You'll find lots of motivation and support on here whichever plan you're following. Keep us updated..;)

Hi DStarr and :welcome2: Your weight loss of 4 stones in 6 months is absolutely achieveable and if you stick to the Plan you will see results in no time. :scale: There's lots of support on here plus all the delicious recipes to try out...all SW friendly! :drool: Good luck on your weight...

Hi and :welcome2: Fantastic weight loss so far hun. Keep at it! :D

Hi and :welcome2: Good luck with your weight loss journey! ;)

Hi RosaxEx and :welcome2: Congratulations on the weight you've lost so far! Well done! :happy096: What's made you want to change from WW to SW? Whichever plan you choose to follow don't expect too much all in one go. Each and every lb you lose will be that much nearer to your goal weight and...

Hi BigLisa and :welcome2: Well done for losing 8.5lbs so far. :D hope you enjoy the SW group tomorrow. You'll find lots of motivation there and on here. Good luck with your weight loss journey! ;) Hi Michele and :welcome2: Hope you're enjoying your EE Plan and it's good to know you're...

If you're following SW properly then you won't get hungry. I'm not sure the Special K plan would offer anything that would help in this respect to be honest. It would help if you posted a food diary on here and people can see if there's any changes that could be made. Perhaps you could even...

:welcome2: to you both. You'll find loads of support on here...but don't forget to check out the yummy recipes in the recipes section too... :drool:

Hi and :welcome2: Wow you've done fantastic losing all that in just 3 weeks. :happy096: Hope you love the flexibility of SW. :D Glad to have you on board. Good luck with your weight loss journey! ;)

Hi and :welcome2: Which plan are you following? Good luck on your weight loss journey! ;)

Hi and :welcome2: Congratulations on losing 5lbs already! Hope you try some of the lovely recipes on here. You'll find a few people on here don't go to classes and the support is fab! Good luck on your weight loss journey! ;)

I'm doing the chocolate Scan Bran cake for my group's taster evening tomorrow. I'm going to spread some chocolate Philadelphia in it in the style of a Victoria sponge. :drool:

If you follow the plan you should not feel hungry. You need to eat until you are satisfied remembering if you're following EE to fill 1/3 of your plate with superfree food. Drink plenty of water too as we often feel like we're hungry when in fact it's thirst.

Yes please...going off Tesco's rapidly...:mad:

I'm going to do one of these for our groups taster evening next week...nom nom.. :drool:

Another oldie here! :D

There should be a prize for the person who has lost anything over a human head...lol

As far as I can see Scan Bran is like Marmite...you either love it or you hate it. :confused: Although it does depend on how you eat it. I'm making a chocolate cake with it for my SW group taster evening next week. I hear they are yummy. I've considered putting some chocolate Philly in it as...

Heres a link to information about it... Orlistat - Help With Weight Loss | Health | Patient UK

I can't get my head around chocolate flavoured Philadelphia. Might have to get one of the mini pots to try it. Don't want to waste a full tub if I don't like it. :p Hmm...just had a thought though...I'm making a Scan Bran chocolate cake for our taster at next weeks class so I guess I could use...

I'm hoping for a rack of baby back ribs to lose next week...;)

Good to hear the resonses have fired you up for the next weigh in... ;) Good luck for next week!
