only lost 3/4lb this week. not been my best of weeks as not been well so not been 100%. Still happy though as a loss is a loss and it will all add up :)

first week down mostly did well though saturday lunch wasn't quiet so good (all you can eat chinese...) happy to have still managed a 2 3/4 lb drop :D

been almost a year and a half since i was last here but after gaining a load of the weight i had lost am back and this time am sticking to it :) Looking forward to getting to know you all again. Decided to stick with sundays way in as end of the week and worked last time for me. Starting...

had 3/4 lb off this week which i was suprised at but very happy with. been off work the last 3 weeks recovering from surgery so stuck at home unable to do pretty much anything except sit down all day :( due to this and feeling ill from meds to help with a surgery complication have been so...

i had 3 quorn sausages grilled, some plain smash and a pile of beans for my dinner. syn free but did end up lacking on the superfree side of things but was something my hubby would eat and i wans't up for proper cooking tonight

afternoon all :) first grats to everyone this week for keeping it going yet another week. Had another bad week - been signed off work for a 3rd week as well now as op wound is just not healing up at all and the first lot of antibiotics didn't touch the infection :( on a different pile of...

i started slimming world on 3rd Jan 2012 doing it alone from home. When i started i weighed 17st 4lbs and am now weighing 15st 7lbs when i did my WI on sunday. with in that i've had a few ups and downs due to being housebound due to surgery and some weeks have done gym between 1 -3 times a week...

i can understand how you feel at the moment. I've recently had surgery with one of the wounds abcessing and have been fairly ill due to it. Am on heavy dose of antibiotics and am stuck home all day for 2 weeks now. In those 2 weeks i've found my self snacking most of the day and not been...

i've always just done it alone. got my books off a friend - you can pick them up cheap and easy on ebay or just use the resources on here. I did think about going to a class but wasn't keen on getting weighed with people around and also had trouble finding a class at a time and place i could...

i started at 17st 4lbs and was a size 20 both top and bottom though very occassionally depending on where i shopped i would have to go for a size 22 top due to being a 40HH. I'm 5' 10" if that helps at all. i've been dieting since 3rd Jan and have lost 25lbs so almost 2 stone which i was really...

my total goal was to lose 3 stone before the end of may ready for my friends wedding on the 8th at which i will be a matron of honor (think thats what they call it when i'm married but will effectively be a bridesmaid). i'm 25lbs lost since i started so 3 more means 2stone lost and just the...

my next goal is to lose 2 stone and i only need to drop another 3lb to hit it so really happy.

i love my forman. i use it mainly for steaks, chicken, bacon pretty much any kinda of meat. i also use my to do some veg rather than frying them. mushrooms and peppers come out really well on it as do tomatoes etc. another thing i use mine for is to do a toasted sandwich for a sunday lunch.

am having to look into investing in a good sports bra myself as get rather self concious during my gym sessions when it comes to any kind of jumping as worry i'll give my self a black eye i jiggle that much :( some really handy links going to have a look properly tomorrow and see if i can find...

my main trigger is stress - thats when i tend to find my self reaching for some thing not so good to cheer me up. bordom and habit are also big ones that get me. On fri evening / all day sat i got to friends for gamign evenings - when there theres always cakes, crisps and chocolates on the...

forgot to post in here last sunday only did it in one of the other sunday WI threads. last week didn't ghave such a good week - was house bound due to surgery for part of the week so found i snacked a lot and i ended up putting back on the weight i had lost the week before. after another week...

exante is one i dont have any knowledge of really but if you scroll down a bit on main page there is a dedicated exante section and am sure they will be able to give you some useful advice around that diet plan. I dont think i'd have the will power to do any of the low calorie based diets. all...

hi, i quite often dont take lunch with me to work. I do have 2 tins of soup in one of the works kitchen cupboards as a stand by if i get really stuck. Other than that normally grab one of the following from some where local jacket spud and beans (no butter) jacket spud and add my own HE lgith...

not sure what it would count as syn wise as would also depend what type you get but i'd recommend a bit of Licorice skinny to help you out a bit.

i find i tend to lose slightly more on the weeks i do my gym work outs. i do 3 sessions a week - 45min zumba. 45min LBT and then 1-2hrs gym proper. classes are a good way to work out with out feeling bored. its all down to personal prefference really. gym will laso help with fitness and...

after a bad last sunday weigh in where i went back up to 15st 11lb from 15st 7 1/2lb i was expecting another gain when i got on the scales today - been a bad week due to still being house bound after surgery, complications from the surgery and eating lots of bad stuff and snacking all the...

bit of a gain this week - gained what i had lost the previous week. For once and not worried though as not been able to do due the gym and my diets been out the window at moment as am recovering form ym op on friday and so the fella's cooking. once recovered will be hitting the gym hard and...

unfortunity its naughty night it seems for dinner and fella's ordered a take out (chinese) - cupboards and freezer is bare till i go shoping tomorrow.

my next reward should hopefull be in 1 or 2 weeks time (depening how fast i can get back on track after surgery) and will be treating myself to a new lense or 2 for my DSLR :) Target is my 2st lost and am down 24.5 so just 3 1/2lb to go. Goal weight total is 3 stone lost but might push for more...

Hi Felix, having never been able to stick to a diet for more than for days i've almost finsihed week 5 on SW. The best way i've foudn to keep my self motivated is set mini goals on the way to my main target and when i hit those goals getting a treat for my self. mines stuff for my camera or...

hmm that sounds fantastic. think i may have a go at making my own burgers. not anything i have ever tried before :)

i have started looking forward to my WI. have to stop my self getting on the scales midweek as i know your not supposed to weigh your self more than once a week.

my worst days have to be friday / sat as am at friends those nights so have to eat what they do for dinner normally ends up as a take out 1 if not both those nights but so far managing to get the better options like grilled chicken and plain rice or noodles.. do miss my spare ribs though.

might invest in some food scales then and try weighing stuff out. i try to use the grab and go as much as possible but all depends what i can get in local shops. Hmm not thought of trying to make some curries - stopped them as most i make tended to have coconut milk or cream in them.

i'm mainly trying to follow the extra easy slimming world diet plan. Its all been a really big life style change in all areas. Although i try and stick to the plan i dont bother with weighing all ym portions or measuring stuff as i just find that all a bit too fussy. At the moment i dont have...

i've had a loverly pile of stir fry for dinner. very lean diced beef, broccoli, mushrooms, beansprouts, noodles and a very small bit oyster & spring onion stir fry sauce for flavour. not had any other syns today so the little in the sauce should be ok :)

Hi Lisa, good to hear your off to a great start. I'm pretty new to this site and to dieting in gerneral, tried in past and just gave up but now sticking to it. am more than happy to be your buddy and we can help keep each other going :) When i weighed myself 28th dec 2011 i was 17st 4lb and i...

i'm on week 4 of going alone on SW. can't afford to join it either online or via a class and class times dont suit me. get plenty of motivation reading these forums and my mum calls me every sunday after my weigh in to see how i've done. My rewards are also motivating me to lose it and keep it...

Good luck :) Some possible lunches - 2 small slices of wholemeal bread (HEB) with - low fat cheese - chedder or cream cheese (HEA) ham with salad (could be any lean meat) + a muller light fat free yogurt if you got some where nearby that does jacket potato's - spud and beans (no butter)...

Hi and welcome kayleigh. Quite a few of us do the same and dont go to groups either, hope it all works well for you. also welcome slimmer4summer, good luck with yours

one of the reasons i home weigh is so i can do my WI with no clothes on as i dont want even the tiniest bit of weight from clothes. I also make sure i've been to the bathroom before hand. Every little helps :)

i'm another thats going it alone at home, can't afford either groups or online and the times dont really work well with my work hours etc either. nice to see so many of you doing the same, i've never even been to a class before. So far all the support i've had has been form the fantastic people...

i can't afford to go to a group and if i could the times dont work due to my work hours etc. I borrowed my mums book to get me started on knowing what to do and since then have been off on my own and find its works great. I've got all the fantastic people on here if i do need any support or...

I was really bad for dinner tongiht. Friend came over unexpectedly and didn't have enough food in to cook for 3 with it being end of month so they brought take out for dinner and i ended up with a grilled chicken kebab (on tortilla roll thingy not a naan). was really nice but felt a bit naughty...

Have hit under 16stone for the first time in a long while. in 4 weeks have lost 20.5lbs and to reach my goal weight only need to lose another 25.5 bls so am almost half way there. once i hit my goal weight i may try for another stone or 2 off depending how i look and feel.

I normally end up having a chinese most saturday nights as am at a friends house and i tend to have either beef chow mein or chicken chow mein (about half of the portion) and thats not many syns. Below is taken from a sticky on eating out - chinese and hopefully will help. (can be found under...
