Thanks everyone :) I guess so yes! 19 days and 5lbs to lose until my target for holiday. Can step up exercise after my final exam of the year today so might go swimming this week. I also fancy playing a bit of badminton too! :P

Eeeek! That's fantastic! Well done! You must be really pleased :) Here's to week 2!

Thank you lovely!! <3 xx

That's fantastic!!! Well done xxx

You'll definitely be losing then! :) That c25k thing sounds great! I'm going to step up the exercise from Weds. I have my last exam before summer tomorrow so I can do what I like!! :) I had a day off the shakes etc and calorie counted to get things moving if you know what I mean haha :P It's...

Thanks guys. Weight loss total is 4.5lbs now so not sure what is going on. Feel like my body is not letting SF do its thing. My weight loss is significantly lower than a lot of other SF'ers on here and even my own sister and Mum. Any suggestions? They are at 11.5lbs and 9.5lbs loss respectively...

I've lost 4.5lbs in 2 weeks although it was 5lbs two days ago! My Sister and Mum have been doing it for same amount of time and they have lost 11.5lbs and 9.5lbs respectively.

Hey :) You're right still better than a gain!! :) I have a similar issue to be honest. Been on SF for 2 weeks today and lost 4.5lbs altogether whilst my sister has lost 11.5lbs and my Mum has lost 9.5lbs. My Dad has lost less than me and he isn't even doing SF. Kind of disheartening not sure...

Planning ahead is a good thing!!

I second that!! I love Indian food. Apparently spices help weight loss too?! Kirsty cooked a mean Tikka Masala last week it was beautiful and as Tanya said the portions were good for calories. :) Stepped on scales today and lost 5lbs overall now. Halfway to holiday target and we fly 3 weeks on...

Haha yes, definitely weigh AFTER toilet trips. So glad I'm back to normal now but it was horrible. Hope my weight loss is good this week! xx

Thanks, definitely! Keep in touch xx

Good luck! If motivation is waning come to the forum - we're are all a happy bunch with motivation to spread around to members who are feeling a little demotivated :) x

Oooh!! That's interesting!! Us shorties ey!! :) What have you been having for tea/dinner this week? xx

Hello! Welcome :) Good going so far! I'm the same with shakes in the morning - don't usually have breakfast anyway! Bit weird at first but it's fine now. Good luck for the rest of the week and make sure you come back and let us know how you get on xxx

Hello!!!! Welcome to the forum! I always forget people can read what we put who don't comment! 8lbs is fantastic well done you must be delighted. You do so much exercise that's great. Good luck for the rest of the week - let us know how you get on! :) xx

Welcome back! 4lbs isn't too bad you can get that off quickly! Good luck for the week ahead xx

Hi Tanya thank you for your kind words. I have about 3st to lose in all as I'm big for my height but I want to be 12st 5lbs for my holiday on 2nd June. I have been eating enough I think but maybe not drinking enough. Sorry for TMI but I came off plan today and calorie counted instead in order...

Hello everyone! So a week ago today Kir and I started Slim Fast. We've just weighed in and it is interesting to say the least... I started at 13st 1 and a quarter lbs. On the scales today I am 12st 11lbs exactly meaning a weight loss of just over 2lbs. I am a bit disappointed as I weighed...

I had to have a quick tea tonight and popped and got one of M&S's FullerLonger meals.. I had beef stroganoff and it comes with rice, green beans and tenderstem broccoli. It was AMAZING and only 360/380 calories (sorry forgotten but think the latter) and there was loads of meat it in! I then had...

Definitely! This evening I got excited about the fact there was ONE piece of broccoli left on my plate haha!!! What are you having for tea tomorrow? :)

Yay! You must be so pleased you didn't grab anything! Know what you mean about evening meals!! Good luck for day three and nearly halfway through the week!

Hello! Welcome to the SF forum, it was a bit quiet here until last week but a few of us are determined to get it a bit more talkative so please feel free to join us! We have similar start weights and your target is something I want to get to eventually (got a temporary target until June because...

Hey! Well done that is excellent news - I'm really excited for you! :) Yayy!

Well done excellent news! :)

Hey Tanya, great to hear from your other post that all is well today so far. I can understand the being at home thing - I'm a student and spend a lot of time at home either at uni or back home. There is a tendency to want to eat whether you are hungry or not. I guess before a reward for me was...

Hi Kim, awwh thank you very much! :) Have a fantastic day on SF, driving back home this evening after my exam but I'll pop on around 10pm :) We can do this =D xx

Thank you! It is really interesting but sometimes your brain feels fried with legal arguments haha!! :P Oooh let me know how it goes!! I will be weighing in a Monday but I will get on every couple of days as I am interested in seeing how my weight fluctuates during the week. Once I know I'll...

You CAN do it :) Come straight back to Minimins if you're having a bit of a low moment, please! :) I started SF on Monday and by Weds morning had lost 3 and a half pounds, not near any scales now until Saturday morning so excited to see!

Hello lovely, don't worry! You can yourself right back on track now! :) Sometimes we have blips, even if you have put on a couple of pounds you're still down from your start date which is a real achievement!! :) Not sure about the water weight as never quite sure how it works but your weight is...

I agree on the 600 calorie thing I could barely finish it!! I also feel I am able to follow it really well - I feel I can plan things better than when I did Slimming World! Kim, I am a law student and my exam is employment law; feeling confident which is good! :P Worried about drinking too much...

Sounds good and so do your ideas :) I'm just having my tea now.. a chicken breast, pasta, a Dolmio Express sauce (something like 84 cals) and a wholemeal bread bun. Not a balanced meal as such but around 550 calories... got an important exam tomorrow so opted for something a bit more filling!!

Sounds good!! Hope it's going well for you so far! I have had: Café latte shake, tub of fresh fruit. Going to have a meal bar for lunch, a SF snack bar and a punnet of raspberries. Not sure on tea yet! Chicken and something!

Oh no! Hope day 2 is okay, good luck you CAN reach your goal :) Yeah, don't know what we can do about that - would be nice to have more interaction :)

You've done great! Good luck for tomorrow xx

Hey :) I'm following Slim Fast but I did do SW for a while too. GOOD LUCK you can get there :) xx

Thank you :) I am going to carry on after holiday as I need to lose a lot more than I have put down as target :) Evenings can be hard definitely; I have realised (with SW and SF) that I mistake thirst for hunger so will reach for something naughty instead so you could try having a drink to see...

Yes, Labrinth :) TPBM has a white car...

Good luck! I have lost 3lbs in 3 days so you can do it aswell :)

Honk for Monday. Honk for Tuesday. Honk for today.

Hi Kim thanks for replying - lost 3lbs since Monday. My Mum and sister have both lost 4lbs since Monday. Good luck, you can do it! Day 1 is haaaard but I have found today has been best day so far :) Good luck xx

Hello! Good luck on your journey :) This group is a bit quiet so would be nice to have people to speak to about our journeys!

Hello Kim! Welcome to the SF area :) I have been on SF for 3 days and I feel so much better. I have lost 3lbs since Monday morning - my sister and Mum are doing it too and they have lost 4lbs each in the same amount of time! I found day 1 really hard as I had a headache and felt horrible but I...

Hey Lauren you're doing great! Have you had another look how you're doing? Very interested! :)

Well done keep up the hard work!

Hi Pickle, stay in there! I am on second day of SF and it is MUCH easier than day 1. Yesterday I felt awful and was really hungry. Today I have only had 450 cals but feel full. I still have one shake, one snack and evening meal to go. I had a Weightwatchers soup at 51 cals with a cracker at 51...

Hello Kirsty :) Glad to hear you're getting on well. xxx

Hello I started SF today after spending a couple of years on Slimming World. I am going on holiday in less than five weeks so thought I would try SF for the first time. Today I have had: 1 choc shake, 1 meal bar, 1 banana, 1 SF pretzels, 1 cracker and for tea I am having salmon, rice, asparagus...

Hello, I start my Slimfast journey at midnight! I have done Slimming World for a couple of years but decided to opt for Slimfast this time and I am doing it with my sister and Mum. My first target is to lose 9lbs before I go to Mexico on June 2nd 2013. Any tips? I'm looking forward to it!

Fair enough! What is the actifry like? I have heard good things!

Hello lovely Wednesday weighers again! Just wanted to let you know that I've started my own food diary. You can find it here > http://www.minimins.com/members-only-diaries/299940-bethanys-weight-loss-journey.html I have read lots of others and thought that I should bite the bullet and start!

GOOD LUCK!! Also, everyone, I have just started a food diary.. you can find it here http://www.minimins.com/members-only-diaries/299940-bethanys-weight-loss-journey.html

So that's 30 sprays at 1 calorie per spray? 30 calories = 1.5 syns I know it says we can use as much as we want but if you're being strict on Syns maybe count it? It completely depends on how you usually count it I guess :)

Chicken Tikka Masala... again!!! Addicted!

Well done!! Those moments are fantastic! =D

Well done everyone, here's to the week ahead - GOOD LUCK x

Good luck and keep focussed! :) Come on here for motivation if you need it, we're all here :) x

I hope so! The value and power of everyone on here is massively underestimated - you are all fantastic and even if you lose focus or motivation one day you pop online and there is someone there who is willing to share their motivation, focus or determination for that day. I think my weight loss...

Thank you :) Very pleased.. just focussing on next week now and not getting complacent - this happened last time and I stopped losing!

Well done!! :) Definitely going in the right direction. GOOD LUCK for the week ahead, fresh start :)

Yes! Celebrated driving 2 years yesterday! Although it took me four attempts to pass, oops. TPBM has cream towels in their bathroom.

Thank you very much - I was thinking that may be the case. I came on a day earlier this month than usual so at first I didn't really think about it. If the scales are really wrong I will definitely be taking them back however! Thank you for sharing you experience about * week. Not long to wait...

It's actually in the 7 days, 7 ways booklet but I just add tomatoes and mushrooms to boost the superfree!

Maple

Wow :) Well done x thank you for the inspiration x

WOW! KEEP GOING :) You look amazing.

Small bread bun with loads of iceburg lettuce, sweetcorn, sliced chicken, chopped up boiled egg and very low syn mayo (half a syn for a tsp). Fruit for afters!

Sorry please see my post above - forgot to quote you.

I make it will Tikka powder, fat free natural yoghurt and lemon juice then grill the chicken for a little bit then put it in a pan with some fat free creme fraiche/ Quark :) I also add tomatoes and mushrooms. Less ingredients than the magazine one :)

Oooh good idea! I made these last night - they went down a storm even with those not on SW!

None - intolerant to alcohol... I do SW with my housemate however so just checking up on some values for her although she's gone alcohol free for Nov!

Stay safe!! DYJHIW it's the night before weigh in and you want to know how you've done.

Nope, I'm on EE! :) TPBM has their house up for sale.

I have had the Chicken Tikka Masala five times in fourteen nights. I'm obsessed with it!!!! SO GOOD.

Grilled spicy tiger prawns :)

Hello - I have a feeling I may have posted in here before but I can't remember.. I'm 19 - but I turn 20 in March -am I too young?! I would love to be able to speak to people more my own age xx

Hi everyone, Just want to ask a quick question - I have asked this on another thread as well so please don't be offended if you see it elsewhere - I am asking because I am curious as to everyone else's experiences and see if you can figure out my conundrum! Thank you in advance. Just a quick...

WELL DONE AND WELL DONE TO EVERYONE ELSE TOO! I'm proud of you all! Just a quick question for you all.. tomorrow is my second weigh in back on the plan. In first week I lost 3.5lbs (from 12st 10lbs to 12st 6.5lbs) but was day before I came onto * week. This week I have purchased some scales of...

Hi Ruthie-D, you too! This group is perfect for me! Want to get rid of 13.5lbs before Christmas - it's going to be tight but determined to do it! Also, I'm intolerant to alcohol so no Christmas tipples to tempt me closer to Christmas! Good luck everyone! :)

Thank you - love this group already!

Congratulations lg and well done to Donte!

Unfortunately not. TPBM knows how to count to ten in Spanish.

Hi good luck! I am a second year Law student and it would be great to follow your progress! I follow SW and I feel that is the best plan for me. Followed the plan 100% today. Hoping for a loss on Wednesday! US STUDENTS MUST STICK TOGETHER =D Beth xx

Hello and welcome to Minimins - everyone here is lovely! You will find all the guidance, motivation, recipes and encouragement you need! Feel free to ask any questions you can't get the answer from by not going to class. Kind regards and all the best x

Handing in my Uni essay! A non weight related NSV - hope I haven't intruded too much! Fab news ladies on the compliments =D

A Pasta 'n' Sauce or a jarred sauce? Chin up :)

Is there a honk forum for SW?

CONGRATULATIONS on all your achievements x

My Christmas wish is to lose a stone. I will be 11st 10lbs at least! Although 11st 7lbs is preferable I know time is against me. Started the Countdown last week and this week is my first weigh-in. YAAY.

Chicken Tikka Masala (my tweaked recipe) with mushrooms and tomatoes stirred in with rice. Strawberries, an apple and some pineapple for desert alongside a cheeky 4.5 syn chocolate lolly!!

Glad you did it! I've just purchased a six week countdown - good luck to us x

Hello lovely ladies, care if I join you? I restarted SW again last week after 5 months off. I want to lose just over a stone by Christmas but will say a stone for the purpose of this thread - so, at least a stone! First WI of this restart on Wednesday - looking forward to it - I just want to...

Hello and welcome! The best thing on SW is you could have 300 calories of chocolate a day if you wanted - it's all within your SYNS! :) I follow Extra Easy. It is flexible and nothing is forbidden. I love it :) GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY xxxx

HELLO AND WELCOME! I'm a SW girl - people here are so nice and if you ever run out of inspiration the people on here will put it back for you. GOOD LUCK x

Hello! I am Bethany. I follow the Slimming World plan - it's easy to follow and great if you lead a busy life. You can have so much unlimited food: only things that are limited are bread/ crackers and cheese/ milk and obviously chocolates etc. BUT chocolates, biscuits etc fall under 'SYNS' you...

DYJHIW you agree to share the car parking costs but they 'never have change'.

Hello, I am a second year Law student doing SW. I just wondered if there were any other University students out there who are on the plan too? I weigh in on a Wednesday and this Wednesday is my first week back after my five month break from SW. Don't be shy!! Bethany:D

Welcome to Minimins and good luck!!

How's everyone feeling for this week's weigh in?

Great recipe - can't wait to try, thanks!

Hello, Whilst not officially a 'twenty-something' I am only a few months off being 20 - please can I join?! I started SW last October and lost nearly three stone. I stopped in May and have put on 18lbs since then. I am determined to lose it - I feel much healthier following the plan. So, this...

Hello Angelkitty, Can you remember what size it was? I would try and estimate how much in terms of tbsp's was on it and work it out that way? I can't imagine it would be a full 15 syns.. but maybe err on the side of caution and say higher instead? Good luck! PS. Choose your own foods are...

Hi Viva! GOOD LUCK FOR YOU TOO! Thanks for the suggestions - the muffins sound great! Making the big batches is a good idea too - I'm a 2nd year law student so everything is very busy and hectic! Luckily (or unluckily!!) I am alcohol intolerant so no syns go towards alcohol! Thanks once...

Thank you so much :)

Hello I'm back as a Wednesday weigh-er again after I stopped SW for a few months. Determined to shift the weight I put on and be back down to 11st 7lbs (Just above what I was when I stopped SW) so after New Year 2013 I can drop down to my agreed final target :) GOOD LUCK FOR THIS WEDNESDAY x

Wow! Incredible!!! :) I am just starting back on SW after a few months off and a gain of 18lbs. You are my inspiration and on bad days I will think of how well you have done and will get myself right back on track. Thank you so so much. Amazing :D

Hello everyone, I lost two and a half stone up to May 2012. I have put one and half stone on since then. I would like my slimmer body back - I feel healthier, happier and more energetic! Here's to losing what I put on again! I'm a SW girl so any tips or quick and easy recipes (I'm a busy...

The lipsticks, lipglosses, blushers and powders are all definitely worth it. To be honest, the lipsticks are £13.50 are only a couple of pound more expensive than some L'Oreal ones. They smell devine and have good staying power too.

I agree with TracyGWill. Also, are you drinking enough? If not, any water that is in your body will be retained - 'water weight'. Try drinking more water! The plan clearly worked for you in the first two weeks but have a look at other plans such as Rosemary Conley and Slimming World to see if...

I love now... my big blue eyes and naturally poker straight, naturally bright blonde hair! I want to love... the top of my arms and stomach - please be smaller!

Something good about me - I always give out compliments if I see something I like - giving someone a (true) compliment brightens up their day x

Hi, we are due to fly to Kos in 60 days time... anyone been? Any must-dos and must-avoids? Thank you! xxx:D

YEAH YEAH! You should visit it's absolutely fabulous. I hate rollercoasters but there is still lots to do and the atmosphere is great. Salou is a nice place too. Have a lovely holiday x

Hi Caroline G, I would think about investing in a Wii Fit - the exercise games are fabulous and you can burn calories AND tone up all sorts of areas. There is also a step game on there and you can unlock new levels. It allows you to turn over to the TV whilst you are doing the 10min calorie burn...

Haha thanks! I had to weigh in today (Tuesday) as I can't attend WI tomorrow because I'm travelling back from Uni for the summer. Lost 2lbs today, only 4lbs to go until the 10s! And only 2lbs away from being the lightest I've been on SW so far :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE FOR TOMORROW xxx

WELL DONE xxxx

Usually a Wednesday weigh-in-er(haha is that even a word?!) but had to get weighed today instead - lost 2lbs, now 11st 4lbs and 11lbs away from Target with 8 and a half weeks until my holiday =D

Hey Blondee we have similar start weights and target!! Good luck :) I have just eaten salmon with stir fry vegetables :) Zero syns

Me me me! I do! I have been in the 11st bracket for a while now but got down to 11st 2lbs a month ago to have gone back up to 11st 6lbs now. I have had my best week ever on SW and I'm hoping to be a couple of pounds closer at least! I am weighing in one day early tomorrow so I hope this won't...

Syn free sausages also be sold at a butchers in Norwich if it helps anyone!

I'm also 11st 2lbs.. let's crack it this week!! Good luck x

Lost 1.5lbs on Wednesday - 2st 4.5lbs altogether.. hoping to get my 2st 7lbs this coming Wednesday!

I wore a size 12 (eep!) top today having previously been a size 18/20 and my flatmate at Uni said I was looking really good and much thinner! Made my day :) Also, this may be slightly weird, but before I had a lot of weight on my stomach so my belly button was squashed, into a kinda lip shape...

WELL DONE! Keep up the good work x

GOOD LUCK! I found cracking the beginning of the final stone very difficult.. just think, if you get your head down you can do it really quickly =D

I'll swap that for criminal law seminar prep?!

Morrisons range of fresh ready meals are good :) Also, Tesco Light Choices.

Cadbury Highlights Hot Chocolate - 2 syns.

I'm with you - I've got 16lbs to go.. hoping to do it in six weeks :) Good luck to you.

Well done!!! I find the little awards so helpful and motivating. You're never more than 7lbs away from your next one, and I love that! Also, when entering a new stone bracket you feel rewarded too!

I'm a Wednesday weigh-in girl! Hello fellow Wednesday people! I lost 2.5lbs last week (Still rectifying the 3.5lbs gain the week before that though!). Want to lose 2lbs this Wednesday - I live in student halls and don't have scales - when I'm home I pop on midweek to get some idea of how I'm...

Hello, good luck! I've been on SW since Oct 2011. We have similar target weights and a similar date to achieve it!

Hi everyone, I'm Beth, I've joined Minimins today! I've been on the Slimming World plan since the end of October 2011 but stumbled across this site today and knew I had to join. Not really sure what I want my final target weight to be yet, just going to see how I look and then decide but I've...
