Hi everyone! I had 3 totally non Slimming World days this week - a little break with my hubby. I did it in full knowledge that I'd have a gain but I was happy to accept a little blip on the road for a one-off. So, long story short, I've a gain of 0.5lb, which I can happily deal with. Back on the...

Hi everyone, I forgot to check in after my weigh in on Saturday. Good news - I lost 1.5lbs so am now 11st1.5lbs. Hopefully just another couple of weeks in the 11s! :-) If I keep losing an average of 1.5lbs every week I should be at target by mid May. That's the kind of motivation I like! :)

I lost 1.5lbs this morning - I am so delighted after all that birthday cake. I just hope I can keep it up this week! I hope you all have happy faces on the scales today too! :-)

Me too!

Hi Sweetierufus! I've not had a 100% week at all. I've been eating birthday cake every day since Saturday and had an over-syns Indian takeaway on Saturday night to recover from my daughter's birthday party! Haven't been great with my 1/3 superfree either. BUT I have made good choices along...

Hi everyone - I'd like to join you here! I usually post in my weekly weigh in thread (hi Smurfette ^^ :D) but I love the idea of everyone dropping through the stones together! I was 11st 3lbs at weigh in on Saturday so I will probably be with you all for another couple of weeks at least...

Just getting back on the forum to catch up on everyone's losses. Well done! I haven't had a great start to the week - kids party food and birthday cake is just too delicious! :candle1: BUT, I'm still determined to keep on track for the rest of the week. Hope it's started well for everyone else!

Morning everyone! I lost 2lbs this week. Sooo glad to see the Chinese buffet didn't so too much damage! It's my daughters birthday party today so I will have to resist the constant temptation of cake - wish me luck! Looking forward to seeing how everyone has done this week :)

Life will throw us horrible days - when staying on plan is the least of our worries. So the best we can do is be mindful of why we're reaching to food for comfort and do our best to get back on track when we can. We're in this for the long haul so bumps on the road won't matter in the end. I...

I did enjoy it! I was THREE pounds heavier this morning than I was yesterday morning. Yikes! lol (I know... I have to stop the daily weighing - but it's like an addiction!) I don't mind about the jump though, because I know where it came from and I'll still stick to the plan for the rest of...

Uh oh...! I went to a Chinese buffet with my friend last night and ate like a pig! Had a sneaky weigh this morning and it's not good news. The rest of the week will be damage limitation! lol Hope you're all having a great week :-)

Try not to be disheartened. You've lost a total of 6 lbs in 3 weeks. That's an average of 2lbs per week. I'm sure there are LOTS of people who would love to be achieving that! Be proud of what you've done so far, trust the plan and stay positive for next week :)

Morning everyone! I lost 1.5lbs this week. I'm pleased with that because I certainly don't deserve any more! Hope you all have the results you want and have a great week ahead :)

Hi everyone! It's Weigh-in Eve again! I hope you've all had a great week. I've had a few meals off plan this week (3 to be exact - two take-away dinners and one gorgeous panini lunch!) but have been on-plan for all other meals and snacks. I'd be happy to have any kind of loss this week. I...

Just use it as motivation to be extra vigilant with the plan for the other 5 days of the week. Hope it was a good weekend! :D

Brilliant results everyone! Well done :D

Progress is progress! Keep it going :)

We'll done! I can't wait until I'm almost at my stone mark. Fingers crossed for you for next week :D

I lost 2.5lb this week. Sooo pleased! It just shows that the plan works. Hoping I can have another 100% week and another smiley face next week :-)

One more day to go until weigh-in. Let's make it count! Looking forward to seeing how you all do :)

Serial weighing is something I really should work on. I weigh myself more than once every day. It's crazy! Well done for staying away all week. I hope you get the result you deserve! :)

Great! We are weight loss twins! Here's hoping we both keep losing steadily until we are where we want to be! :)

Hi everyone! I'm new(ish)! I'm restarting my weight loss after a long time of coasting along and hovering. I haven't put much on since falling off the wagon, but I am nowhere near where I want to be eventually. So, I'm treating this as a clean slate and a fresh start. I weigh on a Saturday...

Hi everyone! After my 1lb gain last week because of my Easter indulgences - I had a 2lb loss last night! That brings my weight to 10st 9.5lbs. I'm very pleased and it really does feel great to be back in control again! It's great to see everyone slipping down through the numbers - and even...

Hi everyone! After my 1lb gain last week I managed a 2lb loss last night so I am very pleased! I am well and truely back on track after my Easter break - when I spent a full 9 days totally off plan! One more pound until my 1 and a half stone award - fingers crossed for next week... It is our...

Hi everyone - I've been out of minimmins touch for a couple of weeks so am trying to catch up on what I missed! I had a week off work with my family, so I decided to take the week off plan. I thought of it a bit like flexible syns, but rather than allocating a limit of syns, I gave myself a...

Hi everyone - I've been out of minimmins touch for a couple of weeks so am trying to catch up on what I missed! Hope you're all still doing well! :) I had a week off work with my family, so I decided to take the week off plan. I thought of it a bit like flexible syns, but rather than...

Hi everyone! I had a 2lb loss tonight so I'm now 10st 10.5lbs. I hope to keep moving through the 10s at a steady pace . Hope you're all enjoying your journey to your ideal weight! :):)

2lb loss for me - very happy! :) Well done everyone! :)

Whoops! Maybe I should have clarified that I would have chosen the pate because it's the one I liked the most! Have fun :D

Hi Emma - I started on 24th January and have settled into a 2lb per week routine (or thereabouts!) Well done on your loss and welcome to the Tuesday weighers :)

Hi! I've had a quick look at the menu - that restaurant is near my mum's house! I've only ever been at lunch, although I've heard lots of nice things about its evening menu :) I think I would go for the soup of the day for starter (as long as it's not a 'cream of' or similar...) Otherwise I...

Hi everyone, can I come and join you? I had a 2lb loss tonight so I'm 10st 12.5lbs. I got my Club 10 award tonight too so I'm a happy girl! I really hope to make my way steadily through the 10s! :)

Hi everyone! I had a 2lb loss tonight so am now 10st 12.5lbs and got my Club 10 award. I'm very happy to be saying goodbye for now, but I hope to say hello to you all in the 10s very soon! :)

Hi everyone! I've been neglecting minimins lately - bad me! Just a quick update tonight but I promise I will read back and catch up tomorrow! I had 2lbs off this week and got my Club 10. Delighted :) Hope you're all still enjoying your journeys :)

I lost 1.5lbs this week and got my 1 stone award, bringing me go 11st 0.5lb! I mean this in the nicest way possible but... I really hope to be out of here next week! :)

I lost 1.5lbs this week and got my 1 stone award. Happy girl! :) It looks like a bumper week for the Tuesday weighers - well done everyone! :)

Hope everyone is happy with the numbers so far! I weigh in at 5.15 so will update later. Good luck! :)

Whoops! I hit send too quickly...! Long story short... My tights and undies were falling down as I walked down the street. I had to find a hidden corner and fix them and had to literally hold them up for the rest of the walk! Never has something so embarrassing made me feel so good! :)

I've been off work for a couple of months so now I'm back I wore my work tights and work undies for the first time in ages (yes, I have work undies... Weirdo...!)

Hi everyone! I had 2.5lbs off this week so I'm now 11st 2lbs. Delighted :)

Hi everyone - great to see so many losses! I had 2.5lbs off this week. I had set myself a mini target of 2lbs so I'm so glad to have made it. I just have 0.5lb to get my 1 stone award - next week it's mine! :):)

Hi everyone - I'm late to post this week! I had my first ever gain this week - I gained 0.5lb - but I totally know the reason for it so I'm feeling ok. I've set myself a mini target in class to get back into my 2lb a week loss so fingers crossed I make it! Well done to everyone :)

Hi everyone - I had my first gain ever this week. I gained 0.5lb so am now 11st 4.5. I understand why I've had the gain so am ok with it. I've set a mini target in class for a 2lb loss next week so here goes!

I think I could spend the rest of the evening reading your recipes! First on my list is definitely the egg custards. Thank you! :)

Hi everyone! I had another 2lbs off this week so am very pleased! If can up my game next week and get 2.5lbs I will get my one stone award. Although I'd still be delighted with any loss at all! Well done to everyone on another week of healthy choices :)

Great to read of all the losses so far! I don't weigh in until 5.15 this evening. I would be happy with anything downwards :)

Hi everyone! These weeks are flying by! I have had a steady 2lb loss for three weeks now and would be delighted to get that again tomorrow. I am not sure it will happen though as we were out for my friend's birthday on Saturday - lunch, dinner and drinks - yikes! Although I tried to choose...

My NSV today... I was out with friends last night and this afternoon I got the dreaded email that I have been tagged in photos on Facebook. I usually cringe when I see photos of me online, but I didn't hate any of them! So, here's to a future full of happy times documented in cringe-free...

Hi everyone - just checking in with this thread after my weigh in last night. I had a 2lb loss but at 11st 6 I am still firmly in this group! Hope to see you all in the 10s soon! :)

Well done everyone - some fab achievements this week! I had 2lb off this week so I'm pleased! :) I seem to have settled into a steady pace, I hope it continues!

Well done! You'll be leaving us in no time! My impending 30 birthday is what has inspired me to lose weight as well. I've spent a lot of my 20s being overweight so now I've decided to get in shape and spend my 30s being happier and healthier! :)

Hi everyone - I had a 2lb loss last night so I'm slowly but surely creeping through this group! Fingers crossed well all be in the 10s before long!! :)

I had a 2lb loss this week and got my 1/2 stone award so I'm a happy girl! Lots of great results this week - well done everyone x

Hi Kirsty - welcome! Think positive and you'll still be with us next week! :)

Hi everyone - Monday again - just one more day until weigh in! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and are feeling positive about tomorrow's numbers. I'm a bit unsure this week - I've stuck to plan but don't feel much different. Oh well, only time will tell! We have a taster night tomorrow...

I snack on pickled silverskin onions. Hopefully I'm not too stinky! I'm also a fan of frozen veg. Someone else mentioned on another thread that they gather up any fresh veg that they haven't used during the week and make it into a big pot of soup for lunches for the next week. I thought that was...

I really need to stick to one weigh in a week at my group. I feel like my main challenge at the moment isn't the food that I'm eating, it's the mid-week weigh ins at home!

I've just had the same except with grapes on the side. Yum but not one for everyday! I'm stuffed!

At least you know you're going to get there one day so just keep at it! Hot water bottles and buckets of tea this week for you! :)

I've just had a go at these. I made them with half the amount of magic porridge mix and 1 egg. I had to use toffee mullerlight because it was all I had and I couldn't wait until my shopping delivery tomorrow!! The toffee worked well and the pancakes were lovely. I often find homemade crepes are...

I had 2lb off this week, so 5.5lb in total. I have my eye on the 1/2 stone certificate for next week! Well done to everyone on the losses, and fingers crossed any gains/STS are rewarded for their hard work next week! :)

Congratulations! You'll be too light for this group soon ;)

Well done - welcome to the 11s! :)

Well done - you must be delighted! I can wait to get to the stage that I can post my after photo! :)

I'm on banana, grapes an apple and a mullerlight with a cuppa. I am going to try the oaty pancakes tomorrow - they sound delicious!

I've found it hard to stay away from the scales and have been averaging at once a day. (I started two weeks ago.) My hubby has suggested that I have a mid week weigh at home and then wait until group with the hope that I can go a full week without weighing at home eventually! I think it's all...

Wow! It made me smile when I spotted the two feet peeking out of one leg. You have made such a huge achievement! :)

Well done! I'm quite new and have started as a 16/18 and would love to be an 8! You've shown me that it can be done! :)

Wow, that's scary! I think I'll be opting for Chinese or Indian if we have a takeaway in an emergency!

I hope you have a happy surprise today :)

Looking forward to seeing everyone's results today! My group is at 5.15pm so I'll update this evening. Fingers crossed! :)

Tonight we're having syn free burgers, SW chips and mushy peas. Is it wrong that I'm trying to fit mushy peas into every meal since I've discovered them?! My new obsession!

I'm glad you've been encouraged! I have seen lots of people say that maintaining your target weight is the real challenge. I've been writing a short blog since I started SW with the intention that I'll read back on it if I start to feel myself veering off course. I hope you enjoy your first day...

Getting back on plan is always going to be better and more effective than putting it off. The sooner the better! I really hope you find your feet again soon. Good luck and happy holidays!

What a lovely thread! I'm new - only on week 2 so I'm not showing any noticeable signs of weight loss yet. But my first little NSV was my hubby telling me that he was proud of me for starting the group and that he can't wait to go running with me. Maybe one day I'll beat him in a race! :)

Well done - and great news that you're maintaining too. I like your pics particularly because I need to lose a similar weight to the amount that you lost. I can't wait to post my after photo!

Well done! Funny enough - I was googling pictures of the weight I need to lose today and kept looking at the huge fish! Glad to see you're still so positive :)

Thanks Joanne! I hope you have a pleasant surprise at weigh in tomorrow! Don't forget to let us know how it goes. Good luck :)

Another recipe to add to my to-try list! I don't know where I'll find enough days to try all the delicious recipes!

This is on my 'to-try-list'. The website suggested serving with salad but I'm not a ge salad eater so I might have it with SW fried rice. Hopefully it's not too dry!

Yum! Mashed up leftovers are delicious! I love 'smush' - fab name! I'm so jealous now... :)

Brilliant! Well done. I hope I will be as committed as you and will be able to post some before and after pictures some day :)

Honestly, reading this thread you would never think it's a weight loss forum! Yay!

Ive been making trays upon trays of roasted veggies - I even love to nibble on them straight from the fridge! Yum... :)

Hi everyone! I hope you don't mind me joining in. I started Slimming World nearly 2 weeks ago (second weigh in tomorrow.) I started at 12st 1.5lbs and lost 3.5lbs in my first week so am officially 11st 12lbs. Fingers crossed the numbers will drop a bit more tomorrow evening! :)

It's a great idea to get everyone together - you'll still have a chance to have a good natter about what has worked or not worked for you that week. Good luck! :)

Hi everyone! Weigh in time again tomorrow and I'm already thinking about it! This will be my second weigh in and the nervous/excited balance has tipped more towards excitement as my trust in the plan is growing. Hope everyone has a good result tomorrow! :)

Thanks so much for the effort you have put in to helping us out. It is very much appreciated!! :)

Hi I went for my first weigh in last Tuesday and said to my hubby on the way out the door "I've eaten so much food this week, if I've lost weight I'll eat my hat." I had a 3.5 lb loss! Fact is, I ate loads but it was all within the plan. I'm still struggling to get my head around the fact that...

I've just written out my dinner plan for the week and am about to head to the supermarket to stock up on the ingredients I'm missing. I'm just finishing my second week of Slimming World so this week I have decided to cook ahead and reheat the meals later in the week. Tonight we're having Italian...

Thank you for this! I have tried to make a couple of different curry sauces since starting Slimming World nearly two weeks ago but I haven't found anything that I like yet. Fingers crossed that this is the end of my curry hunt! I'll let you know how it goes :)

I am so tempted to try these RIGHT NOW! I'm off to bed before I let myself get a frying pan out! Anyone else tried it yet? I'm so interested to see how it goes!

I agree - I'd love to hear how the syn free meringues work out. My husband is a pavlova fanatic! :)

I started Slimming World at 12st 1.5 and at only 5feet tall I can tell that it's going to take a while to get to where I should be! Good luck to everyone! :)

Wow!! That definitely an incentive for you to stick at it from now on! Well done :)

Good luck! I joined just over a week ago and can't wait to go again next week :)

Fabulous! You must be delighted. Well done! :)

I like your thinking! He's not bad really, just a danger to himself and others when he has an iron in his hand!! Yikes...

Thanks for the advice! I've considered the batch cooking idea for a while but was never sure how to reheat on the other side. I think I'll give it a go this week. My 'ironing-Sundays' might turn into 'cooking-Sundays'! Not sure what my husband would think about wrinkly work shirts though... :)

Sorry to butt in on this thread, but I am reading through and trying to pick up any advice available! I am off work at the moment and finding the recipes great, although I know I will have to batch cook when I go back to work. Can I ask for some advice from the batch-cooking chefs out there...

We should have known about the mid week weighing at home! I think we should ditch the scales. Well done! :)

Yay! Well done to my fellow newbie :)

Just home from my weigh in - I lost 3.5lbs and am delighted! I can't believe I can eat sooo much and still lose weight. Here's to the beginning of another Slimming World week! Well done to everyone who has weighed in so far :)

Brilliant! Well done. No wonder the plan is sooo popular :)

Thanks Lozzie! We should just throw the home scales in the bin! Good luck :)

Good to see there are some other first-timers on the thread! Thanks for the encouragement. I have been sticking to the plan exactly all week so I hope it will show on the scales (although I got on my home scales during the week and it didn't look good. I think I have to stay away from them...

Hi everyone - I'm new and have my first weigh in tomorrow evening. I'm nervous/excited in equal measures. Fingers crossed for all the Tuesday weigh ins! :)

My reply is too late for you now, but for future reference I would have gone for the butternut squash soup as a starter. I make squash soup regularly and am delighted that it is syn free (I am on Extra Easy.) Just bear in mind that the restaurant might have roasted the squash and softened the...

Hi everyone! I joined Slimming World this week and can't wait to see if it works for me. It is great to find such a huge online forum full of like-minded people. This is my first venture into weight loss and I just hope that I'll look back at my decision to join Slimming World as a real turning...

Thanks for your answers! Splitting the Healthy Extra is a good idea - I might see how that goes. I think I should be covered calcium-wise with yoghurt, although maybe I should just have a night time glass of milk to top up just in case! I've already become quite protective about my portion of...

Thank you for posting this - I am new to Slimming World, having joined after hearing lots of different people sing it's praises. I had heard a lot of varying ideas on the rules etc, so it is great to have some basics laid out simply!

Hi everyone! I joined Slimming World earlier this week and am totally new to slimming (and this forum), so I have lots of questions at the moment! I am doing the Extra Easy plan. Can anyone tell me if you HAVE to eat all of your Healthy Extras? (E.g. I am having milk as Healthy Extra A but...
