100% on plan, it's been I don't know how long since I stuck to it properly so I WILL record all my food in my food diary and keep a close eye. Also get back to just drinking water and green tea, no more sugary coffees at break!

I don't know - I can see where people are coming from when they say that slimming for a specific event/time has subsequently led to the weight creeping back on. Personally, I am a very goal-focused person and always need a specific target or end-product in mind, whether it is for how many tasks...

My beyoooootiful new red Ted Baker coat! I've been dying to wear it and the temperature has finally dipped below 15 degrees so I can! Along with my gorgeous new flat black boots. Oh and a black skater skirt, black tights, blue long sleeve top. I love new clothes :)

Haha I actually had a girl tell me last week that she wouldn't use capitals or punctuation because she didn't like how they looked. Artistic vision??? I am SO counting the days til Christmas holidays! No matter how much I love my job I love my holidays more.

I do love my job - though not always! I'm a teacher and genuinely love working with the kids I teach and finding creative ways to get them interested. Strangely, I don't particularly like children as a rule but somehow the individuals that make up my class become an exception every year! I don't...

DYJHIW that twisted ankle from a couple of weeks ago is still bl**dy painful, and turns out to be a torn ligament! No running for a couple of months, there goes my 10k run in a couple of weeks and the half marathon I've been training for :( Oh, and no high heels, which I live in. Salt in the...

Australia! (cos that's where I'm from!) Steak - rare or well-done?

Dyjhiw pride literally goes before a fall? Made myself go out for a night run and was feeling all virtuous and proud of myself for doing when I'm so tired, when I fell over in a pothole. One banged up knee and sprained ankle later, I am feeling very sorry for myself!

Ooh sign me up please - it's time for a kick up the backside! Yesterday was my first 100% day in quite a while. Thursday WI so I'm going for 8lb.

I just ran 11km outdoors! Granted I had a few one-minute breaks in there, but still I am so excited I could just about burst! Six months ago I could barely run for a couple of minutes without feeling like I might die. Also I joined the gym yesterday, and while looking around in the kettlebell...

I hate skinny jeans! Well, I love the look but can't get them over my mega calves :( next straight cut jeans are a pretty good substitute, as someone else said they don't sit too low. Hanging out for the day flares make a proper comeback!

Fantastic dress! Love the bridesmaids dresses too, congrats x

I LOVE this! I had always wanted to try scuba diving but worried I wouldn't fit into a wetsuit, and in July I was able to do it. Felt so great to be able to do something I have always wanted to. My new bucket list: 1. Do 10km and half marathon 2. Dragon boating 3. Trek the Annapurna Circuit...

Woohoo, finally made it into this group! At 10st.13lbs I've only just sneaked in but still. :D This is just the boost I needed to get my head back in the game properly, stay 100% on plan and lose the last 1.5st. Fingers crossed anyway!

A few for me today - *Managed to get through 2 months of travelling without gaining (but still having a great time and a few treats) *Moved into our new flat yesterday and went straight out to buy fresh food to cook with, rather than going to a restaurant *Bought size 12 jeans in the Next sale...

Thanks gawd, I'm not alone in the OCD department! If I'm eating a burger, I have to eat around the outside in a circle before eating the middle bit. I have to have odd quantities of foods on my plate (i.e. 3 tomato slices, 7 meatballs). It just looks wrong otherwise. ...I could only think of...

I'm in the middle of an extended holiday at the moment and had previously been quite worried about gaining. I've been trying to stick to plan as close as possible for breakfast and lunch, then relax a little at dinner. Trying not to drink too much alcohol as then the floodgates will really open...

I struggled with bottoms - going from an 18-20 to a 14 over a few months, it didn't take long until I looked like I was wearing Hammer pants the whole time with trouser crotches hanging round my knees! It was hard because I was based in Brazil where clothes are ridiculously expensive, Lycra...

I would like to join please! I have 25lb to go to reach target so that's what I'm aiming for!

Oh no, we'll be in South-East Asia most of the time - I am worried I won't be able to resist fried noodles and the like. Or dumplings. And so much of the stuff is cooked in peanut oil, etc. I am hoping to be able to take advantage of lots of fresh fruit and veg, and just do some Body Magic...

Hi all, I have been following SW for nearly 5 months and have lost nearly 3 stone which I am thrilled with - so far I have found the plan really easy to follow and fit into my lifestyle. The problem is, due to moving to a new country, I am going to be basically homeless and living out of a...

Have just done a pre-moving wardrobe clearout and gotten rid of well over half my (excessively, ludicrously extensive) wardrobe. I know have precisely one pair of jeans and one pair of shorts left to get me through the next few weeks until the move, when I can buy some new things in much smaller...

Thanks for the kind words, I am feeling a bit sad and sorry for myself with both feet messed up. And we're in the middle of a huge week-long project at school, so no chance of sitting and resting. I'll be running around all day again - I guess that's a kind of Body Magic?! I managed to find some...

DYJHIW - you finally get into a solid exercise routine and then injure yourself - I have been doing Couch to 5k for 8 weeks trying to get myself into shape before going on holiday for 6 weeks (running every day is hopefully going to be my first line of defence against gaining back all the weight...

As of today it's horse manure and a human brain - ewwwwwww!

2lb on *week, so I'm pretty happy! Definitely think the lemons have helped.

5lb target for me please! I'm a Thursday weigher, but 5lbs should be do-able. Although there is a week-long holiday in there, so might be a tad optimistic...

2lb off tonight, which makes 9lb - met my target! Woohoo!

Veggie soup, slice of wholemeal toast with tomato and mozzarella (Hex A and B), green tea with lemon.

Wow, amazing job everyone! 1lb off for me this week, not bad for the weekend I had!

I've done Banish Fat Boost Metabolism (didn't like it much, I prefer the strength training ones) and 6 Week 6 Pack which I really like. At the moment I'm alternating couch to 5k with 30DS (trying to do the advanced moves this time) - I do it 3 days a week, 1 of each level. I still hate level 2...

I have been doing it, but just abandoned it after 3 levels in favour of redoing 30 Day Shred. The workouts are similar but somehow don't feel as challenging, and I didn't see any inch loss compared with fantastic results from 30DS. I also felt like there was more potential for injury there.

Only 0.5lb for me this week. Boo. Oh well, at least it's moving in the right direction!

Did Week 5 Day 3 of Couch to 5k - 20 mins running nonstop outside. Felt great, I didn't even want to collapse and die afterwards. Yay me!

I have been alternating Couch to 5k with Ripped in 30 - the format is basically the same, except in the 3 minutes of strength you do 3x30 second exercises and repeat instead of 30 secs and 1 min. Overall I like the workout more, but some of the moves are quite bizarre and I've needed to modify...

I think so - a few years ago I trained for a 10k run solely on the treadmill, I could do it no worries at all, and then went to do the run and nearly died after 2km! Then again it was on the Great Wall of China and involved running up a mountain, so that might have had something to do with it :p...

I've been doing Couch to 5k, just did my Week 5 20 min run - dead proud of myself as I live in a very hilly area so lots of challenging bits. I've built up to doing 5k on a treadmill before, but never outdoors so I'm really pleased!

Oooh, good tip! Saw this and went straight to the fridge to slice up a lemon in my green tea! I've been 100% this week, lots of superfree, speed soup, 2L water plus 3 mugs green tea, body magic every day and STILL looks like I'm heading for a gain if today's sneaky weigh in is accurate. :( Maybe...

Ipod died about 5 mins into my run tonight - instead of using that as an excuse to turn around and go home, I kept going and even pushed myself to run further!

I do online simply because I'm overseas and have no option of going to class - I have to say, it's not overly useful - the Syns tools are good, and the official weekly weigh in threat keeps me on track, but honestly I get most of the help and support I need from this site. That said, the...

That's brilliant! I wish someone would offer me money to lose weight :p My incentive is this summer of travelling - we're going to Cuba then Vietnam and Thailand so it's going to be HOT! I just want to feel comfortable in my skin, not to mention in a bikini! The thought of looking like a giant...

Well, after three weeks of trying, I have finally broken into the 11s at 11st 11lbs! I have 6 weeks until our Cuba holiday, I would LOVE to get into the 10s before then - is this realistic do you think?

Wow, what a silly cow! Your achievement is absolutely incredible, I wouldn't waste any time on worrying about a petty little person like that. 9st, that is amazing! Well done!!!

Ah, that's interesting...I have been hungrier since I started running. I'll up the superfree and see if it helps. Thank goodness for this site, there are so many tips and ideas I would have missed otherwise, not having access to a class or consultant.

I'm on day 3 of 100%, halfway through a rainy long weekend at home. It's so much harder to stick to a routine at home on weekends, isn't it? During the week my meals are structured and planned out, but every weekend I find myself not eating breakfast until 10.30 or 11, and either barely eating...

Mine struggles with the idea sometimes, he is very supportive of me but is quite a picky eater and doesn't like a lot of the SW meals. He loves cooking and baking but all of it high fat, high calorie treats that are not SW friendly at all! Sometimes it doesn't seem to occur to him that butter...

I found I consistently lost 2lb a week doing 30DS, as well as some serious inches; for the last 3 weeks I've been alternating Couch to 5k with Ripped in 30, doing each 3 times a week. Curiously my weight loss has really slowed and I haven't lost inches either - whether that's the change in...

I'm proud of myself today because... I am stiff and sore from starting Couch to 5k, but I came home from work and did Ripped in 30 - and I managed full push-ups and proper jumping plank jacks, for the first time ever! Now, I wonder if I will be able to move tomorrow...

I STS my first week, but I was drinking loads of green tea and doing 777 so I was really expecting a good loss. I was disappointed at the time, but loads of people reported that they STS or gained the first week as your muscles retain water (or something along those lines). Lost more the second...

Level 3 day 24 done - for the first time I managed to do the plank push-up things properly the whole way through, no knees at all! I never got past hating level 2, it was evil - but hey, the results are worth the pain.

Not too badly actually - Brazilians are VERY body conscious so there's no shortage of healthy/low fat varieties. Plenty of fresh fruit too. Loads of dairy here so fat-free cottage cheese, natural yoghurt, laughing cow lights, etc is all available. Much better than when I lived in China, low fat...

Day 18 Level 2 - so ready to be done with this level!

Back into it again today, days 14 and 15 of Level 2 done. Those walking pushups are a killer, I just can't seem to get myself back upright again without putting my knees on the floor. Perhaps I need to give Jillian's Yoga Meltdown a go, get some more flexibility!

Grrr have been been down with flu for the last 4 days, I'm so annoyed! I was just getting into a rhythm with level 2, hopefully I'll be back into it soon.

From Australia, but living in Brazil. This forum is such a godsend for helping me keep on track, giving new ideas, etc. I don't think I would have lasted 8 weeks without it!

Level 2, day 12. Still hate Level Two, but I can totally see how it's going to get results. All those planks! How many times a week do most people do this? Literally every day, or do you give yourself a rest day?

I'm going to give this a crack... had my 3 cups today!

Day 11- I. Hate. Level. Two.

I totally agree, I always enjoy that one more. Day 10 done - so that's Level 1 finished! I've never actually stuck to it for that long before. Yay me :)

Hi Emsie, I teach Year 5 and have a whole group of kids like this in my class! Firstly, if he is very bright and active, as you say, he probably needs some extra stimulus. His teacher should be making sure work is differentiated to challenge him. A lot of the time it's really not recommended...

Don't give up - you are doing brilliantly, even if it's not reflected in the scales. As others have said here, try measuring yourself as well so you can track inches lost as well as weight lost. Exercise and healthy eating go hand in hand for long-term well being so stick with it. Maybe try...

I've found some really good stuff on Slimmingeats website as well, and on BBC Good Food Guide. We get the iPad magazine version and a lot of the healthy recipes are completely SW friendly. Hubby is a really picky eater and not a fan of a lot of the SW recipes so I've been forced to branch...

I take measurements on WI day (little bit geeky, but hey) - after my first 7 days, I lost an inch each from my waist and hips, and half an inch each from bum, chest, arms and thighs. Cheered me up as I STS this week. Day 8 and 9 of Level 1 done - nearly ready for Level 2. Bit nervous as I...

I just found this, may I join please? My target is 50lb by Christmas, but at least 2st. off by the end of June. Well done everyone on the amazing losses! bevhunter1986 = -3.5lbs (3.5lbs to go) cmcdee_115 = -3 (34lb to go) donnzstar = -18.5 (47.5lb to go) ellierose988 = -19lb (25lb to go)...

Day 7 of Level 1 done - it is getting so much easier than at the start, which is super motivating!

STS this week :( Then again I've just done my first full week of 30 Day Shred and it's *week so all things considered STS probably isn't too bad! 1.Ailly 4lb (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go) 2.All About The Climb 10lb (0lbs lost- 10lbs to go) 3.Ally89 5lb (1lbs lost - 4lbs to go) 4.ally___pally 8lb...

Days 5 and 6 done. Thinking about having a day off today, my right knee has been aching all day. Though I think that has more to do with the ridiculously high heels I was wearing last night than the Shred!

I've always had a real sweet tooth but have been trying very hard to cut down on my sugar intake. I'm starting to find chocolate really really sweet, to the point where I don't enjoy it as much.

Boysenberries Raspberries Apple Peach Mandarin Lettuce Cucumber Tomato Pomegranate Pepper Radish Water - 12 Syns - 4

Back on again after a day off yesterday - Apple Kiwi Spinach Tomato Lettuce Chicken Peppers Radish Leeks Onion Cucumber Not as much fruit as I'd like, but I don't tend to snack at home whereas I munch on fruit all day at work! 8 water 6 syns

Day 4 Level 1 done. And for the first time (possibly ever) I managed to do all the bicycle crunches in the last set without stopping! Woohoo!

Baked spinach and egg from the SlimmingEats website - it was gorgeous!

Definite food for thought! Hopefully there's something in that... I have been kicking myself all morning, knowing I was having a night out last night I saved all my syns and used them for 2 mojitos (although, given the amount of sugar that was in them, not sure 15 syns would cover it!) then...

Where are you from ? Australia, living in Brazil What football/Rugby team? Sheffield United (by default, husband's a Yorkshire lad) Favourite Colour? Green Famous person you most like to ****? I've always just fancied geeky boys in glasses, but if I had to choose...Johnny...

My overall goal I set for myself is to be at target (and maintain that!) by my 30th in June next year - I need to lose about 50lbs which is very do-able! I do think mini-goals are important, mine is to have lost 2.5st by the time I go on holidays with my family in July. I haven't seen then...

Wine and chocolate...or possibly bread and butter! Depends on the day...

Could you get the adult version altered a bit, maybe put in a panel across the top to make it a bit more modest? You could put in a sheer-ish white panel to make a higher, straighter neckline, then pair it with a wide belt as someone else suggested, to make it look a bit more demure and...

Day 2 Level 1 done!

Ooh I just started reading this - as compelling as some of the Harry Potters IMO.

3lb off for my first March weigh-in! Ailly 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) Angie_b 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) anna* 10lbs (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Biglisa 10lbs (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Birdmummy 8lb (0lb lost - 8lb to go) Candy-cat (0lb lost-8lb to go) charlotte 1985 (0 lost - 3lbs...

Well, Day 1, Level 1 is done! Interestingly, I didn't find it as gut-wrenchingly difficult to get through the workout as I have on previous first days. Could it be all the healthy food, I wonder??? (Don't get me wrong, it's still left me a bright red, sweaty mess) 29 days to go...

5 days on 777 - 3lb loss! :party0011: Just the motivation I needed after a long, hot, un-air conditioned day that has left me wanting to sit by the pool and drink beer all evening. Instead, it's 30 Day Shred and a salad dinner for me! Today's speed foods: Boysenberries plum lettuce...

Wow - that is brilliant, congrats!

Starting the Shred tomorrow for a March challenge - I've dabbled with it before, love the results but never seem to get past day 10 because I get so bored! Any ideas to help get through the full 30 days?

Me too! I have 5 weigh-ins starting tomorrow, aiming for 10lbs to get my Club 10! Ailly 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) anna* 10lbs (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Biglisa 10lbs (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Birdmummy 8lb (0lb lost - 8lb to go) Candy-cat (0lb lost-8lb to go) Crumble 12lbs (0lbs lost...

Speed foods today - boysenberries tuna carrot tomato lettuce radish chicken mushroom celery peach apple Syns - 4 Water - 12 and counting (IT'S SO HOT HERE!!!!)

Today - I feel like I ate loads but I am absolutely staaaarving still! Didn't have time for a proper breakfast, maybe I'm still catching up:p Breakfast - boysenberries with fat-free natural yoghurt Lunch - Wholemeal bread sandwich with tuna, carrot, tomato, lettuce and sweetcorn...

Wow, great idea for boosting losses! I hope it works for me - need a loss after last week's holiday :break_diet: Today I have had... Lettuce Tomato Cucumber Chicken Peach Plum Apple Carrot Mushroom Celery 7 syns 9 glasses of water

Off to Argentina tomorrow for Carnival week, woop woop! So excited. Although I'm slightly worried about how many syns I'll use on all that lovely wine...

Break

Dear Fabulous Baker Brothers, Please stop making such yummy looking pie recipes. You are making me hungry. Even worse, you are inspiring my husband to make yummy pie concoctions that test my willpower and upset him when I won't eat any. Please limit your recipes to foods we don't like so...

Oooh tempting! But seeing as it was a 9 year old girl, that might be frowned upon :p The funny thing was, she clearly didn't mean it maliciously - it was an out-of-the-mouths-of-babes moment of stating the bald truth. I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse. Had it been an...

Wowing my family at our family reunion beach holiday in July! (and treating myself to a fab new bikini for said holiday :))

I recently changed my hair colour from blonde to dark red. One of the girls in my class said that I looked like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Another one chimed in and said yes, but Fat Ariel :cry:

Some good ideas, thank you! I've been worried about it, because I know what I'm like once I fall off the wagon. Hopefully there will be lots of fresh fruit and veg, and I'll just try to to draw a line under it and start again once I get back.

All cooked for us - which is great of course, but annoying because it makes it hard to know exactly what's in it!

I have just finished my first week, I lost 7lb which I am THRILLED with! :) I'm really enjoying SW recipes and don't feel deprived at all, and at the moment I'm so motivated to keep going. My dilemma is this - this week I am going on school camp for three full days and nights, food is pizza...

Hi Andrea, I am in Brazil too - just joined SW after visiting my sister-in-law in the UK, who dropped 4 dress sizes last year with SW! This is only my first week but I've found it pretty easy to find ingredients and foods I can work with so hopefully my first weigh-in will be a good one! How is...
