So I blinked and suddenly 13 months had slipped by! In that time I had joined SW and got down to 10st1lb, really close to target, then consultant changed and there was a whole load of *****iness going on at group so I left, and now I'm back up to 10st11lb! Darn it. Not returning to the same...

Day 6 - Heavy night last night so going to try and stick to Extra Easy plan today despite still having family visiting. Breakfast: Beans & Tomatoes Lunch: Mug shot, Banana, Fat free Yoghurt

Day 5 - off plan today as in town shopping and out tonight. I'm going to consider it a metabolism kicker day, as this seems to be quite a popular theory at the moment...

Day 4 - 1lb off! Very pleased with this as I have only been strictly following it for 3 days. As it's Friday I am going to follow the extra easy plan. Breakfast: Banana, Boiled Egg Mid Morning: nothing Lunch: 100g cooked weight wholemeal pasta with 100g cooked turkey, 1 large tomato and a...

Day 3 Breakfast: 1 1/2 Bananas! (Have to share one with 4 yr old and 1/2 is simply not enough!) Mid Morning - trip to Costa, was very good and had Green Tea & no pastry's or snacks! Lunch Sardine & Chestnut Mushroom 1 egg omelette, Fat Free Yoghurt & 1 Apple Tea: Quorn Sausages, 200g McCains...

I just made the Bisto Turkey Gravy Granules using 4 heaped tsp in half pint water (I like it thick ;-) ) How many syns should I count (obviously I will try not to put it all on my plate!), I couldn't find any reference to the Turkey flavour but hoping it is like the chicken 1/2 syn per level...

Day 2 - Woke up feeling great, I must remember that feeling when I am tempted by naughty stuff at the weekend! Throughout the day: HEa: Skimmed Milk in unsweetened tea Breakfast: Large Banana Mid Morning: Bowl (remainder) of Home made Ragu Sauce without the pasta so just mince & veg no HE or...

Trip to the doctors confirmed that my Blood Pressure is still elevated. Over 3 readings the lowest reading was 127/97. So I am no longer allowed the combined pill. Have decided to come off oral contraception completely while I get myself in order. The good news is that my cholestorol was 4.8 so...

Here we are again, three months down the line, still weighing the same, still overindulging. I really need to get a grip on myself. I have been better behaved with the alcohol and snacks but still lapsing on the weekends. I am switching to the Original Plan as I don't think Extra Easy is doing...

Today I started the day with a yoghurt and a banana Lunch at the park with my little boy so I got a Boots Meal Deal, not slimming world friendly at all but chose a lower calorie sandwich so hopefully limited the damage! Tea was pork loin steaks served with mushroom risotto. Full now!

Still going strong, no alcohol yesterday, no crisps either. Breakfast was cottage cheese & sweetcorn followed by a banana Lunch was remainder of previous nights chicken pasta followed by a mullerlite yoghurt For tea, I cooked a chicken and served it with dry roast veggies (just sprayed with...

Have been on holiday, visiting family, completely fallen off the wagon. Remembering how good I felt when I wasn't drinking has made the decision to stop again very easy. Back to it today with a vengeance. I am still under 11 stone which is a bonus. I will be doing a free/superfree week and the...

Put a pound on this week but I'm not worried, I know I hit the snacks a bit hard last night, got the munchies, should have gone to bed! Good news is that I have lost an inch off my waist so I am really pleased! Still tee-total and feeling liberated. Not been drinking as much water as I should...

Had a really bad weekend. I've been getting these really bad headaches and they seem to be linked to drinking wine. I had three glasses of wine on Friday night and I was ill all weekend. The doctor is treating me for sinus problems so I am assuming the alcohol is aggravating my sinuses. For the...

Well my slow start wasn't much of a worry, this week I have lost a startling 2lb! I am now 10st 11lb! I am so pleased! I have mainly been doing a superfree/free plan with an occasional Healthy Extra thrown in, but to be honest there is so much good food on superfree/free that I haven't really...

Slow start to the week due to poorly boys and hubby working at home. Monday turned into an extension of Sunday. Tuesday is my first focused day. Got my water app set and started the day on a banana, just starting to feel peckish now so will grab a pear or nectarine. Going to have a green...

Ha Ha, that's exactly what I said last week! I never forget to eat and never lose my appetite even when I'm ill!

I have found one on Android called Water Your Body, seems good and there were lots to choose from, thanks again for the idea!

Well the good news is that my determined efforts have resulted in me losing 1lb. Not as majestic as I'd imagined but I have achieved so much else this week. I have certainly got a different attitude towards alcohol, I am learning to moderate my snacks, my skin is so much clearer after only one...

What a good idea! Thanks for that! I have an android so will have a look for it. There may be a similar program if that one isn't available.

Throw away the scales! I threw mine away years ago. I do have a wii so I have to faff about setting it up if I want to weigh myself! The annoying thing about the wii is that it expects you to weigh in every day but that goes against recommendations of only weighing in once a week.

Feeling really good, couldn't get on laptop yesterday but had a completely superfree/free day again yesterday, forgot to set my water alarms so wasn't so good with that but still positive about losing this week. I don't feel bloated at all and the challenge of only eating superfree/free is...

Tuesday 25th June Well I managed to get all the water drunk yesterday!. Actually focusing on drinking water did make food less of a focus so I think that was a good move. So I set all those alarms again today and have kept it up. (Lots of loo trips!) I had a lemon & ginger tea this morning and...

Monday morning, mid June and it's cold! Anyway, I am going to have a good week this week. I am introducing more water into my day (aiming for minimum 2 litres) so have scheduled my phone alarm to go off every 90 minutes as I forget to drink (funny how I never forget to eat!). Started today...

That is amazing! Well done!

Okay, I'm over it. I have done okay this week, it was a bit of an experiment that I didn't follow as strictly as I should have done. That is why I prefer extra easy, there is a bit less focus on what you can and can't have. I came across a set of measurements from over 10 years ago...

Totally fed up, I have put 1lb back on!

Thursday 20th June Breakfast: Beans & Cottage Cheese Lunch 1% Mug Shot/Noodles, Banana, Orange, 0% fat yog Tea: Wholemeal Pasta, with assorted mixed veg thrown in, beans & topped with 28g grated cheese (HEa x 1)

Good luck with your weigh in! I am good all day but a habitual snacker at night too, so have replaced my 'sharing' bag of crisps with wholemeal toast spread with extra light laughing cow. That usually gives me the carbs I crave and ticks the Healthy Extra boxes too!

Wednesday 19th June (Red Day) Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Hard Boiled Egg with large salad & ham Afternoon: orange, pear Tea: Large Salad with plain tuna, chunk of 28g cheese, half portion of new potatoes (198g was too much!) Supper: wholemeal toast with laughing cow Diet Cola & Vodka 4 sins

Tuesday 18th June Breakfast: Banana & Low fat natural yoghurt Lunch Home made savoury rice (so it's another green day) Had some chocolate... No idea why. Anyway will check syns later. 6 squares of fruit & nut! shocking! abt 7.5 syns!!! Oh dear, never mind! Tea Healthy Salad, potatoes, hard...

Monday 17th June Looking forward to a positive week. There's no wine in the house and I'm avoiding going to my local shop so no accidentally buying any! Going to do a meal plan for the week and get a Tesco delivery instead. Started the day with a 2 egg mushroom omelette. Early Lunch: 1% Mug...

I haven't logged any menus for the weekend that is because I have been so busy and I haven't really been very focused. Back on track today as I am preparing lunch for Fathers Day and making lots of SW friendly food. I am having either a green day or extra easy day today as I have bought...

Thank you!

Okay drumroll......... I am under 11 stone!!! Okay, it's only a pound under but I finally did it after faffing about for weeks/months. It's now Friday morning, I figured if I make Friday a regular weigh in morning (used to be Thurs evening when I went to group) then I can have Friday as my...

Thank you!

I can't be bothered weighing stuff which is why Extra Easy is the one I like following BUT I think as I don't have loads to lose, I think I need to be a bit more focused so that is why I have dropped EE for now. It is too easy to just not count at all on EE so I get lazy with it. I do find it...

Thurs 13th Red Day Breakfast: Banana & 0% activia yog Lunch: Chicken & Mushroom omelette, cottage cheese & green salad Afternoon: Orange Tea: wasn't very hungry so just had HEXb wholemeal pasta with some fat free dressing stirred in (not good for superfree but really couldn't face anything)...

Wed 12th June Breakfast: Banana & 0% acvtivia yog (syn free) Lunch: Hummus, new potatoes, cottage cheese, 4 pitted black olives (half syn), 28g chedddar cheese (HEXa), large green salad. Switching to a green day to allow for the hummus/potatoes Tea: Egg, Beans & 150g Rustic oven chips (1.5...

Tuesday 11th June Weigh in 11st (lost 2lb according to Wii, must have been top end of 11st 1 yesterday). Fully intend to do another red day today as I have loads of chicken leftover from yesterday. Found it hard restricting my pasta at lunchtime & not eating so much fruit but think it made...

Monday 10th June Weight 11st 1lb, Vitals: 40, 35, 39. Very heavy around waist. I would like to see that go down intially to 32, then will reassess. So I think I need to follow the red plan so I am limiting my carbs a bit. Some time ago I did Atkins and it really worked for me but I found it too...

Have set up a My Fitness Journal log. Measurements were scary!

Making a pledge for tomorrow. I am going to do a full set of measurements and weigh in. 0 alcohol all week. I have been considering switching to the original plan because as much as I love pasta etc.. I'm not sure it works for me as I feel totally bloated all the time. Also, I think I have been...

Saturday 8th June Breakfast: Fat free yog, banana Lunch: Salad, spicy meats & cheeses (continental market on in town!) Tea: 1% Mug shot, Banana, orange supper: cider & crisps. Why do I do it to myself??

Friday 7th June Meant to weigh in this morning but never got a chance as the house was so busy. I will consider myself maintained! If I resist weighing in until next thurs/fri then I hope to see a loss. We have decided to go to the pub tonight, so I'm not buying wine in. The pub we are going to...

Really did well resisiting the urge to go to the shop tonight. Hubby has some kind of wheat allergy so he has reverted to using white bread instead of wholemeal. We have run out and I was going to go and get a loaf for the morning. I decided it could wait until the morning, I'll nip out before...

Yes I managed to stick to it. I just had a slice of toast instead. Really pleased with myself! Sorry about the gain but at least you know where it's coming from, I am the same, I yo-yo up and down around the same few pounds. I think I need to put an embargo on wine from the house for now...

Thanks for the kind reply! I think I'm doing rubbish but that's only because of the illness setbacks though. The sunny days this week have helped and turned my head. This last two weeks I have been trying to introduce a fresher diet for the whole family but using slimming world ideas. We all...

Wed 5th June Breakfast: Banana, Melon Lunch:Noodles Afternoon:Orange, Pear, Plum, Nectarine Tea:Ham, Salad, Home-made Hummus, Rustic oven chips Supper: Wholemeal toast & laughing cow Did a Yoga session! I love Yoga, I think I will introduce this at least once a week and build it up again, I...

Tuesday 4th June Breakfast: Banana, Pear, Yoghurt Lunch: Chicken Pasta Afternoon: Melon & Orange Tea: SW Roasties & Ham & Salad Supper: Wholemeal Toast & Laughing cow Did fast walk to the supermarket rather than getting bus, a good 20 minutes!

All back to normal this week, little son back to nursery, big son back at college/work, hubby back at work. Looking forward to a healthy week and with lots of me time I am going to get some exercise done (and not just running around after everybody!). Started the day off well with a tomato &...

Sunday 19th May Not too bad. Weighed in at 11st 1lb this morning. Still struggling with my throat but started the day off well with chopped banana and pear smothered in a strawberry mullerlite. Easy on the throat to eat and quite filling.

My son has got chicken pox and I have got tonsillitis, not a good week. Will be interesting to see the disastrous results when I am over this, have been living on soup and tinned peaches and ice cream :-(

Really pleased to weigh myself this morning and find I am dead on 11 stone (with light clothing). A very good start to the day. I just wish the Wii wouldn't moan at you if you don't weigh in every day, it goes against the principle of most diets that you shouldn't over obsess with weigh-ins and...

Have had a pretty rough weekend. Poorly husband, poorly little one. Haven't been keeping track at all. But I didn't overdo the alcohol and stuck mainly to simple foods, salads, meats, potatoes, cheeses,, olives, ciabatta. An array of mediterranean platters if you like, to keep the boys...

Thank you xx I have up days and down days like everyone I guess. Today is a positive day so I am going to make a friday night curry and have it later in the evening so I am less likely to want to snack. I don't have a sweet tooth but I do have a massive savoury tooth! Friday Beans, Mushrooms...

Day 2 I always find it helpful to weigh myself on the second day to check that I am on the right path (I ate a lot of food yesterday and am forever amazed that this is possible on Slimming World!) Pleased to note that I have had a loss, not quite a 1lb (I use the Wii as my weigh in scales) but...

A year and a half ago I reached my target weight using Slimming World, going to the classes. I started out at 11st 10lb (after the birth of my son I was quite inactive due to a c-section) and got down to a realistic 9st 10lb (I am 5'7"). Since then the weight has sneaked back on as I haven't...

Done my Thursday weigh in! I am now 10st 13lb! Really pleased that I've got under that 11st barrier! So that's 4lb so far in October. Not sure I'm going to achieve 7lb now but I'm pleased with this loss so far :) Sandy

Thursday weigh in, stayed the same. Disappointed but shouldn't be as we had a heavy weekend with birthdays and anniversary, and we went to Jamie's Italian for our celebration.... say no more! I have been a good girl since Monday so goodness only knows how much I piled on over the weekend! Much...

Done my Thursday weigh in this morning and I am 11st 1lb so that's a 1lb drop this week. Not a huge amount but I haven't really been very focused. Also got Birthday/Anniversary weekend starting today so not holding much hope up fpr the coming week :O Must get my game head on on Monday morning...

I did my first Thursday weigh in yesterday and I have dropped a 1lb! Yey, and that's only since Monday of course. Next weigh in will be next Thursday :) Hope everyone's getting on well!

I'm going to have a go at this too. I used to go to group and did reach target, but have got lazy (and busy doing other stuff) over this year so some of the weight has gone back on. I weighed in this morning at 11st 3lb and I think my ultimate goal will be 9st10lb (I'm 5'7" so not too low). My...
