I lost 2lb this week x

I lost 2lb this week. Hoping for another good result this week too.

We've had two drop in sessions over the festive fortnight and then last week was just the new member talk to the whole class so looking forward to a proper class this week

Sorry I've not been on for a while. Kept on plan all Christmas and new year. I now weigh 16st 2.5 so hoping to be in the 15s in the next couple of weeks. I've lost 23 pounds in 8 week and hoping for my club 10 this week x

I've lost 1.5lb this week. Wish it was more but the pounds will add up!

Sorry - I lost 1.5lb this week again x

1.5lb off this week for me x

2lbs off for me this week

2.5lb off for me this week x

Well done Ruth - what a fantastic Christmas gift :bday:

Another 2 pound last night. Didn't stay to group as it was my birthday but didn't stray off plan although my sweet tooth is getting a bit crazy so will have to keep an eye out on that x

2lb off for me this week. Close to hitting the target! Got my stone award last night on my fourth weigh in and it was my birthday so I'm a happy bunny x

@B.M. Try not to let it get to you too much. You enjoyed yourself on the holiday (hopefully) and what's done is done. Be happy that you've found SW so know you'll get it off easily! x

Hello! I've not long started back after a few big losses and regains over the past 7 years but this is it this time - all the way to target. I'm hoping to do 6 stone in a year (so half a stone a month) but will set myself a bigger target for the first quarter as it'll get more difficult to lose...

I went down to 16st 12 this week with a 4.5lb weight loss so moving to this group (again - I started here about 2 years ago).

@Pineapples92 that's amazing! What a fantastic Christmas present to yourself.

It was my third weigh in yesterday and I lost 4.5lb and got slimmer of the week. That's me in the 16 stones so moving done. Can't believe I'm moving so quickly! Hopefully see lots of you in there soon x

@Sazmajig I lost 4.5lbs this week :-)

Hello - I just joined SW for the fourth (and final) time, a couple of weeks ago. I had my second baby in June so no more baby making for me so this is it this time - all the way to target for good! My weigh in day is Wednesday and I have no holidays and I want to lose 7 pounds this month x

Well done! I had 2 and a half of this week so I'm sure you can get the 2

The leggera pollo arrabbiata (pasta dish with chicken and a spicy kick and cheese on top) is 6.5 syns and worth it.

Hello! I'm back after a few years break. I went from 17st something to 14st 7ish a couple of years ago but then lost my way. I had a baby 6 months ago and did so well with weight gain during my pregnancy and weighed less after having her but have let my sweet tooth and takeaways take me to my...

I also read somewhere recently that BMI was originally developed for health insurance and 27 was set as the top normal BMI but the insurers changed it to 25 so they could charge more people extra premiums... Not sure if there is any truth in it though

Also if you've come straight from Weightwatchers to Slimming World you may put on weight initially until your body settles in to it. Most people who have big losses at the start have gone straight from unhealthy eating to Slimming World

I counted it as syn free and only synned the sauce (as I had a salad) but someone above has mentioned chicken tikka is 3 syns... Unless it used to be in mayo maybe?

Does anyone know why the chicken tikka is 3 syns? It's less calories and fat than chicken breast according to their nutrition info at the counter?

Amazing! 13.5lbs in a week :-O How did you do yesterday? I weighed in at 17st my first week and then lost 1lb the first week and 2.5lb last night.... Every little counts as Asda says :-)

Hello! Just wondered what every one did with leftovers and syns. I made Thai Salmon curry yesterday which had syns in the Thai paste and healthy extra Philadelphia allowance. When I served out I gave my hubby about half and then a slightly smaller portion to myself and put a little that was left...

I keep lots of bacon in our fridge and love poached eggs, beans, bacon and tomatoes as a naughty but good meal. M&S sushi snack packs are really low in syns if I remember rightly.

Hello - I came down from the 17-16 stone thread on Monday, weighing in at 16st 13.5. Hoping to be out of here in a couple of months :-). I make Sunday Roast every week. I have roast chicken, lots of veg, I syn half a spoon of oil and make the most amazing roasties in the actifry, syn a Yorkshire...

My weigh in was yesterday and I'm finally in the 16s - will see you all there soon x

I lost 2lb this week, I had hoped for more but slow and steady wins the race as the say so I'm here for atleast another week. How is everybody doing today?

Hello! What an amazing first week loss, I'm hoping to be out of here in 2-3 weeks but we will see how we go

I'm so annoyed with myself! I joined Slimming World last January (again) after gaining wait while and after pregnancy. I was 16st 9 and went down to 15st 4 in 12 weeks and then I started a home business to stay with my baby and my 3 month pass finished so I stopped going and lived I denial for...

Get a chart somewhere and make stickers on computer and physically give yourself one! Well done for all the losses so far today! Just been on Dance Central on Kinect which my baby finds hilarious :-)

Morning all! Had my first good night sleep in a few nights, even with my almost five month old baby coming in with us from 2am. Just lying here waiting for her to wake up now. I have my weigh in tonight and hopeful for a loss but we'll see! I dont seem to be losing it as easily as I did when...

When I was last on WW a few years ago fruit wasn't free which meant I stopped eating as much fruit as I normally would or as I do on SW. For example back then a banana was 1.5 about the same as a chocolate digestive if I remember. Now as much as I like fruit I still would go for the biscuit as...

It was really nice and filling and different from having tomato based sauces. Easy to make too. There is a spicy chicken taco and mango rice recipe which I might use so syns for next week. Before being on SW I'd never had Philadelphia or thought about cooking with it.

It's probably been mentioned on the site before but if you are looking for good ideas for something different I've found the Philadelphia recipe section on their website ace (there is also an app). I made a carbonara last week and a green Thai curry tonight (1 syn plus hexb)

I had been showing a two pound gain all week from the day after weigh in and however it happened I showed a pound loss at WI so it all worked itself out eventually! Just because you've got a gain showing now doesn't mean it's a real fat weight gain and losses will show eventually.

Can't you take off some syns if you use your cheese allowance on it and it does have chicken,veg and tomato on it?

Wow some people are getting amazing results! I've been sticking to it but not been religious about the third of each meal being superfree - I prefer fruit to veg so have been snacking on fruit whenever I'm hungry between meals. Are the people with amazing results sticking to the third? Maybe I...

I think Rogan Josh's are quite good on the scale of things. I weighed in last night and lost 1lb taking me to a 5 and a half pound total in two weeks. They say it's harder to lose than put on but I don't think I've ever put on that much that quickly so we should be very proud of our losses :-)...

Well done everyone on their weight loss! I have my third weigh-in tomorrow and lost 4.5lbs last week on my first week although I think some of that was due to dodgy stomach the day of weigh in! Look set for a gain but know that's probably down to the result not being real last week. Sticking...

Thanks for the support, glad I'm not alone. I will work on it! Just had tuna mayo sandwich and chips for lunch, yummy. Was technically syn free as bread was my healthy extra and it was leftover tuna mayo from yesterday and I'd already synned the whole lot yesterday.

I need to stop weighing myself! This is my second week and since my weigh in on Monday night I appear to have put on two pounds (showed up on the Tuesday morning and hasn't changed since). I've been weighing myself a few times a day hoping for a difference (as I know what I weighed naked the...

Just started Slimming World last week (had weigh in on Monday) and I'd lost 4.5lbs taking me to 16st 4.5. Looking forward to being in the 15's again soon. Was nearly 18 stone about 9 years ago, lost a bit to take me to 16st 7 and stayed there for years. Went to Korea in 2007 for a year and...

Just started Slimming World last week and want to lose 6 stone this year which will make me just above the 'normal' weight range for the first time since I was a child. Have been obese since I was 18 so first target is just to be overweight - will be so gleeful to be able to say I'm overweight :-)

People definitely don't have a clue what weight looks like nowadays. The amount of times I've had people tell me nasty stories about 'obese people' at work when I'm standing there morbidly obese!
