Hi guys. Sorry I haven’t been around. We got the news we had been dreading. We can’t have kids and our world just feels like a black void right now. We have no interest in anything let alone eating. We are just lost right now. I hope I can jump back to it at some point but right now it’s the...

Evening Bert. Thanks for the encouragement. I am still eating badly but instead of just curling up and sleeping I have gone for a bike ride after work. Unfortunately I am fitter than I thought and am now over an hour early to meet OH so I am sat in brewers with a Pepsi max. I know I sound so...

Hey Bert. I think it was the thought that my depressive history would get in the way of us having kids as it was something they asked. I come from an abusive background and I am always scared I will end up like my mother so when it is called into question it makes me upset. I love all your...

Evening all. Its time for a self reflective post so if you thats not your thing, please look away now. For the past few days, I have watched myself spiral out of control and I don't just mean my eating. I suffer with long term depression and BPD. More recently it has been manageable most of...

Morning guys. Gutted this morning as I’ve stepped on the scales and it says I have gained three over the weekend. The only thing I can put it down to is having carbs back in my eating. I can’t believe it’s jumped that much in such a short space of time. Kind of feeling disheartened this...

I know it’s crazy what still looks fine and what doesn’t. Thanks for the tips on bras. I have a few different ones so they should be fine for now. I find it really hard to find ones in my size which is currently a 38G but did get some in America last time we went

Make sure you are in the right frame of mind for it. If you feel like you are depriving yourself it won’t work and you’ll binge on the bad. Soup is great and fillling in this weather so a good start. Slimming world sausages are a protein which I thought was surprising. Cook up some meat to have...

Had a clothes clear out today and whilst it may have taken almost two stone, I have finally gone down a trouser size. Happy dance. I have very few clothes left now which means a shopping trip is needed but trying to wait as long as possible as I am hoping to go down at least another by the time...

Hey Aligal. That’s a good read. I’ve done CBT course before and it does help. I’ve definitely been more positive and easy with myself this time round

3 off this week Fabulous30s - Target 16lbs, 14lbs to go Mom38 - Target 11lbs, 11lbs to go Dragoneye454- Target 21lbs, 18lbs to go Tower Maiden - Target 7kg, 6kg to go Skydragon - Target 6lbs, 6 to go GaGirl - Target 14lb, 14lb to go.

Happy Saturday guys. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Managed a surprise speed day yesterday to make five in a row. Weigh in today was minus 3 which I am very happy about but it does make me think, if I didn’t eat bad at the weekend and gain two, it could have been five off. Was it worth it...

Evening. Today dad is off which usually means we try and optimise as much as possible but it’s harder and yet today it wasn’t. The fair is in town so we went to have a look and I had two welsh cakes for a total of 11 syns. The rest was all meat and salad for another unexpected speed day. That’s...

Today has been a weird day. I made the scotch eggs and had two for two syns (sausages syned- rest is protein), an orange, Alpen lights and porridge with strawberries. I made a five bean chilli but Didnt eat as have just not been hungry. Worried that what i have eaten isn’t good enough for an SP day.

Morning all. Last day of SP today. I actually did a whole day yesterday and am finding it pretty easy. Which is weird but the other week I really struggled with it. Just proves it is all a state of mind for me. Not quite sure what we are having today as the onion soup has now gone. Got to go...

Day two of SP days and finding it pretty simple. Probably spoke too soon. Hoping to do another day tomorrow and then dad is off so back to normal SW plan. Onion soup for tea and had poached egg with spinach and mushroom for lunch

That sounds nice. Do you swim at an indoor pool? I’m pretty bad a swimming but so enjoy it when we go

Good Afternoon all and happy Monday. I have the week off this week so am using that to do three speed days after a pretty bad weekend. Just cooking an onion soup now and lots of salads to come. What are everyone’s plans for this week

Hey guys. Weigh in day and we are up half a pound. 😪 I’m hoping it’s because I started star week and feeling bloated as well as the fact it’s a different time of day and different day. She said it shouldn’t be that but then I explained that Monday I don’t eat or drink until weigh in on the...

Good Morning all and happy Friday. Has everyone had a good week? I am proud to say I have been 💯 since Monday and weigh in is tomorrow. Not really sure what to expect as it is also a different day and different time of day which can change things. Also star week started early so that usually...

Hey Aligal. Yep all still on track. How has your week been?

Hey guys and happy Tuesday. We are on day 2 if back in the wagon and the scales are saying I’ve already dropped three (not that we trust them at all) Decided to do a bit of a cooking sesh after work and made crispy chicken and bacon salad, tomato soup for lunches and five bean chilli for...

Happy Monday everyone. So we are back on track today. We won’t be weighing as we have decided to start going to the Saturday morning group. The scales say that I have gained 4.5 but I’m not worried as they were well out last time so onwards and upwards. How is everyone feeling about the new syn...

Hey Ali. I think it’s just the line I can see and I hope I can ease myself back. If I do it now I will try desperately to pull it back and make it worse. Or just more excuses haha

Hey guys. How has your week been. I’ve completely fallen off the wagon this week and I don’t even have a good excuse for it. I wake up with good intentions. Hey to about 17:00 and it all goes wrong. Hoping I don’t get punished too much for it and I can just restart on Monday

Hey Bert, wow that’s persistence. I have been exercising a lot more now so the scales have almost stopped but I can feel the difference already. Wow that’s a lot of crisps haha but whatever makes you happy. SP is a speed day where you can only have speed and protein as well as one A, two Bs and...

Evening guys. Hope you had a good Tuesday. I attempted an SP day today but I think I psyched myself out and ended up madly craving the bad stuff so maybe not the way to go.

Only half a pound this week :-(

Evening guys. Weigh in today and we lost half a pound. It’s the third week at a half pound lost which is annoying but it is a loss and it’s a pound and a half more than if I gave up. OH lost 1 pound which was no surprise after last weeks whoosh. I’m hoping I get one of those next week. I’m...

Hey. Very nice plan. It’s the little bits that you won’t really realise are building up. Let us know how you get on

Afternoon all. How has your weekend been? I made breakfast in bed for my man today and then we managed to cycle into town. It’s only 3 miles there and back but better than nothing at all. Picked up a wii fit plus and board for £10 today so thinking I can do that everyday I am not cycling. Was...

Hey conlou. You can do this. It looks like you have done really well so far. We will all be here to support you.

Maybe you have both lost inches? Or you may get a whoosh next week instead

So we went for our bike ride today. Only managed 10km and the OH knee gave out (as well as me being bushed already). He's had the issue for a long time, just bad timing. So we've decided to rest it for the rest of the weekend as we don't want to risk permanent damage and being signed off work...

So we ended up with an extra easy sp day today. Not on purpose as I don’t like doing these. I find people don’t actually get the results they want. But anyway ended up with egg salad for lunch and steak salad for dinner and also packed a salad for tomorrow’s bike ride. Repetitive much haha...

Hey Aligal. Thanks for your post. Wow that is a crazy change. Usually it’s ok but I guess it hurt more this week because I am trying so hard. It’s not gonna stop me though. My husband is great. He keeps pushing me and telling me I can do it. It helps having someone supportive. But I wish his...

Hey congrats. We will all be here to support. That goal definitely gives you something to work towards

So the end of day one. I forgot to say weigh in is a Monday night. The fluctuation this morning is still playing on my mind as I know I have been 💯 this week, but I just have to trust the process. Finished the day on 8 1/2 syns. This weeks discovery is the skinny bakery cakes. 2 syns for a...

Fabulous30s - Target 16lbs, 16lbs to go Mom38 - Target 11lbs, 11lbs to go Dragoneye454- Target 21lbs, 21lbs to go

Thanks green eye. I think I can. I’ve come this far Hi craftermary, thanks for your comment. I am not a morning person so start of day is a no no but I take the dogs out during my lunch break and also go walking/ bike riding at the weekends so hopefully that counts towards it. Thanks for the...

Hi all, Been debating whether to start a diary or not but after a weight fluctuation today that is getting me down, I’m thinking if I write it all I can see that I am still losing. So hi, name is Stitch (well nickname anyway) and I am a foodaholic. I’ve lost a stone and a half so far but I...

You can do this. Don’t stop going because of the fear of a gain, you might not and if you do then it is a lot easier to draw a line than try and claw it back

Hey, Sounds you like are doing great so far. We are also going to Disneyworld next year but in November and we are also going through fertility tests so I will be following closely. Hope you are having a great week

Just thought I would add that slimming world have disputed the amount of fat in the porky lights and are now saying they are 4.5 syns each

Hi All, These are in the fridge aisle in co-op. Does anyone know the syns. I have tried online, but because you can only add one free food it doesn't work and I can't find it in the food search. Thanks for the help

Not so great haha. We had a birthday weekend and that as well as the interview to fight to keep my job today we are currently 2.5lb up from last weigh in with two days to go. Back on it today though with a yog for brekkie. No lunch (felt ill with nerves) and hm chilli and rice for tea. No...

Ok, so as we are counting backwards, this is day 520. Another day down woop woop. Weigh in was today and we had a grand total of.... -0.5, mainly helped by the fact I wore a rather light summery dress. But ah well, can't cheat it forever. Today is definitely not a NSD as it is also shopping day...

I know what you mean. The 15 stone mark just taunts me, I think I've got past it and then I am back again. Florida is just amazing, everyone is so friendly and you gotta love disney. Bit of a big kid really Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Good luck Michelle. Well done for trying to change for your daughters, that's some serious motivation right there.

So a confession to start. Since start of November I have lost 1st 8 pounds. Hooray!! But since starting slimming world in MarchI have yo-yoed to a massive loss of.... 6 pounds to be yet again stuck at the 15 stone stage. So 1st 2 without slimming world and 6lb without, and its not because the...

It has udon noodles which I figure would count as a free food.. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Does anyone please have the syn value for this. I can find the thai one but not the vegetable o e Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi all, I know I have seen a recipe for these around and I have even made a batch. Does anyone know what the recipe is? Thank you!!!!!!

Dear OH, Yes I did go upstairs to get some peace and quite and yes I was playing guess the song. That does not give you the right to selfishly start playing too so that yours is so loud I can't play anymore. It also makes it pretty obvious that I do not give a sh** how you are getting on and...

I know it's late but I would love to join. 10lbs to go would be great as that would put me just over what I lost and put back on. Browsie 21lbs to lose 0lbs lost Mrstore 18lbs to lose 0lbs lost Tara40 21lbs to lose 0lbs lost Yummymummynot 21lbs to lose 7lbs lost 14lbs to go Aston 16.5lbs to...

It was chunks of lamb with fat taken out so 0 hopefully

Ok all, Today will work. I did so well yesterday until we went to the pub adn they gave me a full fat coke instead of diet. Grrr!! But we will keep trying. Today we have another greek yogurt (1/2 syn) Batchelors rice with spring onion. We have a lovely hm chilli for tea today (4 syns...

yeah I really struggle eating breakfast. I did have magic porridge sometimes before so I will try and get that in a bit more I think. It's evenings I struggle with more than anything to be honest. Thanks both

Ok so yesterday didn't quite go to plan. After an awful phone call I ended up eating a homemade brownie and a bowl of golden grahams instead of all the nice healthy stuff I had planned. So we are trying AGAIN today. Breakfast- Muller greek yogurt (1/2 syn) Lunch- Jacket potato with baked beans...

Hi all, I am restarting the diet again. I have been trying to restart for about three weeks now. I was 13st 11 when I stopped and am now 14st 4 :wave_cry: So I am here hoping it will give me the strength to really try and ignore my dad and fiance who tell me I don't need to lose weight. Whilst...

I know exactly how you feel. Just back from two weeks in america and I just can't do it. What I'm trying is ease your way back in gently. Try to follow it as much as possible and don't beat yourself up too much. Damage limitation.

This may sound stupid, but my one reward I am fighting for is having pictures of my wedding that I will be proud off. That's all I need

OMG!! I laughed so hard at these. Now everyone in the office thinks I'm mad.

Thanks for that. Left it a bit longer and it is gorgeous. Tastes like philli without the syns woo hoo!!!

Tried this yesterday and whilst it tastes nice, it was still like really thick yogurt rather than what is posted. I definately remembered the salt. Does anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?

DYJHIW you STS and then end up having a mini muffin which is then taken by dad as lets have a day off and make leeks in cheese sauce and then put the roast potatoes in half a centimetre in fat (whilst commenting 'well you don't eat the oil'). Yes I caved but now I have to make it one really...

Can't see it on here. Sainburys - Chocolate Philly half price (80p/78p) for small multipacks and large tub

fish

Right now it has to be flour and cheese. I am really missing broccoli and potato bake right now. Ooo and proper gravy Oh and hm yourkshire puds. Ok hungry now

I think I'll join if that's ok. I don't normally drink tea or coffee full stop, but if it helps, I'll give it a go.

Ooo strawberries and they are superspeed woo hoo!!

Well after my huge effort this week, I lost a tiny one pound and I had to fight for that. Oh well, better that than a gain 1.Ailly 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) 2.Ally89 5lbs (0lbs lost - 5lbs to go) 3.ally___pally 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8lbs to go) 4.Angie_b 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go)...

I'd like to join if that's ok. I am halfway through the 14's at the moment. Have beeen really strict with myself this week as I STS last week, but it seems to be making me more nervous about my weigh in tomorrow.

Definately the waist area, my curves are coming back with no bumps halfway through. I love running my hand down my side and it just flows. Sounds weird but there we are :D

Dear darling OH, May I remind you that I do not lie. So when I tell you that the basket you so lovingly threw your dirty clothes in for the past couple days was actually clean clothes, please don't accuse me of such. Especially as I have been getting clean, neatly folded clothes out of it...

Ah well. Worth asking. Thanks for the response

I'm aiming for a bald eagle this week. Fingers crossed.

Hi all, The OH has a habit of buying lean mince instead of extra lean and I was wondering, if I made my burgers and put them in the grilling machine so that fat all gets drained out, would that make them acceptable as extra lean? What do you think?

Five weigh ins this month so lets go for 10 please. Hope I do it this time. Biglisa ( 0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Crumble (0lbs lost - 12lbs to go) Dragoneye454 10lb (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Dreamslim 8lb (0lbs ~ 8lbs to go) ellierose988 (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) gemmie1302 (0lbs lost - 7lbs to...

Thank you soo much for this recipe. It was absolutely amazing!!!!

Thanks. I thought this might be the case, but I really couldn't tell yu how much of the HEA I ate last night and how much I ate today, thats what made me wonder. It'll be hard to figure out

Hi all, Coulldn't find this in the search so thought I would ask. I made jacket potatoes last night. Took the insides out, mashed by HEA cheese and some baked beans with it. I made too much so am having it for lunch today and my question is this. I counted the cheese as yesterdays HEA but as...

Thank you so much for this recipe. I had a serious craving for biscuits too, especially after the OH keeps eating chocolate digestives infront of me (meanie). These really hit the spot. Maybe not put the cinnamon in next time though as don't think they really need it. :553:

Hi all, Went out for a meal last night. A total of 15 syns for the day- Mushrooms on toast (3 syns), Steak and salad and 1/2 piece of cheesecake (10 syns). Before we went out I had a nice fry up for lunch which used my other two syns up. So not bad considering the damage from last time. Yogurt...

Hi all, I was a bit gutten last night after receiving a text from my aunt saying that my cousin had lost 9lbs this week on WW and then she went on to say she had had a KFC and indian in that week. I'm happy for her, but seriously annoyed at the same time. I did contemplate moving to WW but then...

Morning all, We had a mini packet of m+ms last night (5 syns) bringing my total to 14.5 syns yesterday. Today is as follows B- Golden grahams and milk (5.5 + HA) L- Apple, Yogurt and pasta in sauce D- Hopefully stir fry veg in the steamer with rice I have decided to do a meal plan for the...

Hi all, I hope everyone has had a good day. Week three is turning out to be really hard. Its hard to resist all the things I know I can't have. KNew it would come somewhen, but this early?! Today we have had weetabix and warm milk with strawberries Apple with Mullerlight Pasta in sauce One...

Hey Rara Lara. Thats brilliant. Well done on the losses. Am hoping the scale will be kind this week too as went out for a meal Saturday but have been 100% otherwise

Evening all, Another day done. I ended up having chilli after all which actually only came to 4 1/2 syns and rice. I also had some syn free jelly mousse, a biscuit (4) and 4 tucs at one syn each which means with the options at work, we come in at a grand total of 14 1/2 syns for today. Bit...

Thanks everyone. I've had to pre order anyway as its a big party so have chosen mushrooms (can use healthy A to minimise sauce damage) which comes with salad and them I've asked for steak and replaced all the bad stuff with salad if they let me. The OH has even suggested making a nice dessert...

Hi all, Sorry, I just need to vent. I don't know what to do. I went out for a birthday Indian last Thursday and I was lucky enough to still lose and then I had to go to another birthday meal on the Saturday (thankfully after weigh in). But I just couldn't resist the desserts (ended up with eton...

I am starting to struggle now. I had a yogurt for lunch as it was late and then roast for tea. Chicken, Carrots, Roasties, Leeks and broccoli in cheese sauce (5.5) and two yorkshires (4 syns). I did discover the slimming world free gravy and I must say I was very impressed. However, in the...

Good Morning all, Bit of damage limitation last night as we went out for the OHs mothers birthday. Yes its one of those weeks. I opted for the chicken wrapped in bacon which unfortunately was covered in stilton sauce and the 'sauteed' potatoes were actually deep fried. But its another day...

I am so ecstaticly over the moon this morning. Even after that huge indian meal in Thursdat night, I have still lost 2lbs this week Woo Hoo!!!!!!!

Evening all, Well its not gone too great. We've had a two day birthday celebration for my dad and whilst I have only used 13 syns today (even with alcohol), yesterdays indian ended up being a massive 32 syns!!! But its ok. I'm not going to panic. I'm just going to flexi syn it and carry on...

For dinner we ended up with a type of king prawn paella- Batchelors rice (golden veg), spring onions and king prawns. Also had an options at work Later I realised I hadn't really planned today well for my HA and HB so had weetabix with warm milk and strawberries and a mini packet of buttons to...

Hi all, I have searched and can't find anything on here. I am going for an indian tomorrow and all the syns are per portion, so as a general takeaway query, is per portion what they bring out to you when you order one? Or in the example of the indian is it half because they assume you would...

Thanks. Thats what I do. Can't wait to fit into a smaller dress :character00100:

You too. It gives me that little boost when I feel tempted so hopefully it should be easy. I'm not as well prepared as florists but I do have an excel spreadsheet with everything planned out already, much to the OHs horror hehe ;)

I am a bit gutted today after thinking that tomato puree was free, I now find it's 1/2 per tablespoon. Not a major dent, but an annoyance all the same. Today we have had: B- Yogurt L- Pasta (plain) and carrots with tomato puree to dip (1/2 syn) I'm not sure what to do for tea today as I will...

Had an options (with water) at work instead as I was feeling the need. A woman at work is on the rosemary connelly diet and made a 'diet' cake, which has masses of sugar in to compensate. It was a no to that, even though she tried very hard to convince me that it would be good for me. Burgers...

Hi rachel, not until Dec 2013 so plenty of time. Congrats on your date. I just can't help planning even though its so far away. are you the same?

Work is sometimes the hardest place. Well done for resisting. They brought in custard doughnuts last week and though I was very tempted its a 'moment on the lips moment'. As soon as you have eaten it, no matter how good it tastes, you will feel bad and think what was the point. Also, looking at...

Ok so we didn't have the chocolate, but we also didn't have the strawberries. Not bad, not bad. Todays menu is: B- Golden Grahams (dry) -5.5 syns L- Toast and LC triangle (HB +1) and an apple. Plan for HM burgers and wedges tonight, with some carrots thrown in for good measure and a milky...

It would be a brilliant idea. People always like to go out and not feel bad about what they are eating so I think it would even appeal to people that aren't following a plan.

Feeling better now. Had a piece of toast and butter instead of the ham salad (2/3 HB) and 1.5 syns. D- Chicken kebab, no pitta (5 syns) and hm cheesy bread (1 1/3 HB and 1 HA + 1 syn) Will be having a milky options later (HA +2) and the rest of my frozen minstrels if I feel the need with my...

For some week two is the hardest. Just keep pushing on and thinking forward to the next weigh in. If you follow the plan it will work. Just have faith

Hi rach, good luck on your journey. We are all behind you. You should be able to find things on here that your family will love without realising it's slimming world.

Thanks floweryrosie. I hope so. Hi emjones. Sounds good. I hope you do well with your journey. Am not feeling so good right now. Stomach so bad I had to go home from work and the bathroom has become my new best friend. Not impressed. All I am thinking is if I am ill, I may lose more this week...

Pork Chow Mein tonight I'm hoping.

Sunday D- Roast Pork, carrots, cabbage, roast potatoes and two aunt bessies (1 syn). S- Strawberries and options white chocolate made with milk (HA and 2 syns) Managed to complete the guest list with the OH last night also. Monday B- Muller light yogurt L- Ham salad- Ham, lettuce and onion...

Hi all, Thought it was about time I started a diary. I got engaged just over a month ago and the sudden realisation dawned a couple weeks ago that I will need to wear a dress and have my picture taken countless times. I hate having my picture taken and I mean despise it. So I figure if I want...

Thats brilliant. Well done Klairbear

Well I've lost an average humans brain this week. Only the elephant heart to go :-(

First week (after very long break) and three pounds gone. Can't say I'll miss them. Hopefully lots of their friends will join them next week :p

Ooo brilliant. Sorry didnt read it properly in the book. Carry on hehe:ashamed0005:

Doing well. Did you remember to syn your sweetcorn if its kernels? Only baby corn is free

Just think, if you have gained that every week is a new opportunity. The fact that you feel bad about it and that it was only a one off means that you are still determined and thats all you need. You can do it and you will feel great

I think its going to have to be a veg chow mein tonight (homemade of course) - 0 syns and lots of superfree yum

Mine was also a couple things. 1) Deciding to get married and realising how awful the pictures would look at my current weight. 2) My fiance taking a photo of me for my dads photo frame as he has none of me and making him take it from an above angle to hide my double chin 3) People at...
