Hi everyone. After having a really good start back to doing SW from home and losing 2.4 kgs last week, I put back on 0.7 kgs this week :-( I ate out a lot (summer and socialising) so I know I'm to blame. Been shopping today and ready to plan my food and not go out this week!!

Thanks!! Thanks so much!

Hi everyone. Had my first weigh in this morning (am doing it on my own at home) and I lost 2.4 kgs (5 lbs). Am now down to 11st 8lbs. Really chuffed as haven't been the best this week whilst trying to get back to grips with SW. Hoping for another good loss this week.

I don't know how many times I have posted what I am about to write, but here goes.... This week I am starting again. I have managed to put on 8kgs after losing that and a bit more last year. So here I am again, at 76.1kg (about 11st 13lbs). Am on my Summer holidays for the next 7/8 weeks (am a...

Ok. So havent had a chance to post in bere as my phone has been playing up. So will start uploading photos sa from tonight.

Hi everyone. Am planning on using this food diary to help me keep track. Am going to try and photograph my food to help me, starting from tomorrow. Really want to get down to around 9 & 1/2 stone and see from there about getting lower!

Oh, forgot to say, am starting at 11st 7 lbs

Hi everyone. I am starting again for the hundredth time (seems that way anyway). Have put on over 7 kgs (a stone) since this time last year, and am desperate to get back down and then lose that last pesky 7 kgs (stone). I am a big emotional eater and have a really bad relationship with food, but...

Managed to lose 0.7kg this week. A loss is a loss so I will take that considering I haven't been able to cook much this week. Meals planned for this week so fingers crossed a better loss this week!!

Hi everyone. Here I go again..... back in the 11's (11st 5lbs) after being in the 10's last year and am determined to get not only down into the 10's, but the elusive 9's!! Really hope I can get my head into it and finally lose the weight! Hope to make friends on here too for support!!

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I did try starting a diary ages ago I think, but maybe I need to try it again and be completely honest. Maybe I just need public shaming!

Hi Guys. Have posted on here a few times in my mission to get back on track. Back story is I managed to lose 12.5 kgs, but then got comfortable and let things slip.... by putting back on around 8 kgs. This was last summer and now I just cant seem to get my head back into it. I can barely manage...

I love Butternutsquash. I use it in everything!

Thanks Raven. I am still struggling and havent managed to stay within my syns since I hurt the ankle. Am still at home and just find that I eat through boredom rather than anything as I think I am am hungry, but not really!! My WI day is Saturday and my aim is just to try and stay the same this...

Hi guys. Just writing on here for a bit of support. Doing SW from home and started 2 weeks ago. Been pretty rubbish at it really and annoyed at myself. First week I struggled to stay within my syns allowance and only lost 0.6kg, then this week I planned all my meals and snacks and then ended up...

Hi everyone. Been off of SW since the summer (got lost in holiday mode and never got my head back into it). Have put on a stone and feeling crap about it, so here I am..... ready to finally try and get down to my target weight. Don't have any classes near me, so doing it at home, so need as much...

Hey everyone. I had managed to lose nearly 2 stone at the beginning of the year, but have been rubbish since the summer and havent had my SW head on for about 6 months now. Inevitably I have put on nearly all the weight I lost and feeling very annoyed and sorry for myself. Anyway, been shopping...

I do SW at home as there are no meetings near me, so think thats not helping. I just wish I could get back my focus and determination I had last time... but its been replaced with focus on Ben and Jerry's!! lol.

I am the same! Managed to get down to 10 & 1/2 stone by May this year. But since then, I have lost all my willpower and have put on about 10lbs. I have a christening in 3 weeks and i am the godparent and would love to lose 1/2 stone by then. I need a kick up the backside and help to get back on...

Hey everyone. Will be joining the Monday at home weighers. I am re-starting after a good few months dilly dallying around...... and putting on 9 lbs :-( Anyway, food bought all in preparation.... so will weigh in next Monday and let you know how it goes. Have set myself a target of losing a...

Well Day 1 didn't go to plan..... left my lunch at home and a work there was nothing but chocolates and cake as it was someones birthday! Ooops. Did my food shop today though and have planned all my meals for the week, so hopefully will do better! I do feel more confident that I can do this...

Ok..... so here it is. Not posted on here for a while. Have had holiday, mini break and numerous social events, with the total damage being + 9 lbs!!! I have 7 weeks until I am due to be a godmother at a christening and have set myself a target of losing a stone in that time and to set me back...

Well weighed myself this morning, as today is my usual day and am back to 10st 7 lbs, which I was last week. Don't know when I will see that 10st 5 again, but am hoping its soon! Am away visiting family and friends next week, so dont know how I am going to do SW, but will try my best!

Hey GemGem. Thanks for the message and all the positive comments. It is so hard to get back on plan once you have "fallen off the wagon" as I put it. Trying hard to take one day at a time! Been really ill with a sickness and tummy bug the past couple of days, so haven't even thought about SW as...

Well, my actions did not match my words and i went into classic self sabotage again! Ate everything that was put in front of me and more! Stepped on the scales this morning to see the damage and have put back on those 2lbs! Have got til Thurs to get them back off! Grrrrr. Am useless. Where has...

Hey, weighed in at home this morning and somehow managed to lose 2lbs! It must just be the exercise! Am now 10st 7pbs, which I keep getting down to, but can't get lower as psychologically i get a block and self sabotage and go back up to 10st 9/10. I have been hovering round here since May! I...

Amsterdam sounds awesome too. Ive never been, but have heard it is good. And thats a good idea to try and get to your target by then. How much do you have to go? I had a crap day yesterday on SW. Was out with friends all day, then to their house and the food continued. Just going to draw a line...

Wow, what an inspirational job. I was between nursing or teaching when i was choosing what to do, but the shifts did really put me off. As for my hols, am just catching up with everyone (which equates to lots of meals out and trying as best as I can to avoid too many syns). Also going for a week...

Oh no!! Am sure it was a random blip and that next week you will have a really good loss! Keep with the positive thoughts.... they really work! I've managed to finish today going only 2 syns over, which for me recently is a miracle! I will keep the positive thoughts going for you. As for your...

Hey guys. Having a good day so far. Had really healthy and filling breakfast and lunch and have only had 11 syns. Also going to do exercise later with friends so feeling positive! Really hoping this continues. Positive thoughts everyone!!

Thanks hun. Means a lot to get encouragement and to not feel like I am completely useless! It really is a struggle to get back the willpower. I also seem to be hungry all the time and am trying really hard to have superfree or free foods to be eaten as snacks, but I eventually have more...

Well.....10 syns over, but am ok with that. Still far better than 50/60 over. Again, am going to keep trying to get that daily syn count down, bit by bit until I get under 15. Any advice or support would be greatfully received.... by anyone reading this. Need as much support as possible x

Hey again. Just to update, yesterday was much better for me. I did end up going slightly over my syns, but i felt more in control (small steps right?). Today, my target is to stay within 15 syns.

Well, woken up feeling positive so am hoping this continues! Had lots of fruit, dipped in Philadelphia chocolate spread and then a bowl of All Bran (Hex A & B). How is everyone else doing?

Ok, am being completely honest with my diary as am hoping there are other people out there who have been suffering from lack of willpower/motivation/self destruction like me and have come out of it the other side and can advise me! And if those people aren't around, at least those who are...

Well, not so virtuous after all..... had some chocolate that a friend bought round and as its Day 1 of my *, i had very little willpower. However, didn't use it as excuse to blow out the rest of the day like I normally do! Have counted my syns and am determined to do better with my syns tomorrow.

Hey everyone. Done my weekly shop and bought the new Slimming world magazine, so feeling really positive! Had 2 x wholemeal bread, toasted, with Choc Philly Cheese pot (4.5 syns), an instant latte (4 syns) and an apple for breakfast. Now having a nectarine, chargrilled vegetable cous cous salad...

:rolleyes: Hey everyone. Managed to lose a stone and a half between beginning of February and beginning of April... then have hovered between 10 st 7 and 10 st 10 ever since! Had a couple of weeks off over Easter and since then have managed to find every excuse going to not stick to plan! Am...

Hey, I weigh the same as you and have been hovering around this weight for 2 months now. Am going to meet up with friends that I haven't seen in years in 4 weeks and REALLY want to be 10 stone by then. I am the same as you when it comes to letting my life get in the way and use it as an excuse...

Agghhhhh.... put on 2 lbs again!!! Have been gaining and losing the same 2 lbs for weeks and weeks now!! I just cant seem to resist temptation around me and stick to plan. Sorry for letting everyone down.... a bit rubbish for the one who is running the challenge to not meet the target :-(

Hey, don't worry about the gain, am sure you will get it off really quickly! Let me know how the 30 Day Shred goes. I am going to start Kettleworx next week, so will see how it goes! Hey, 1 & 1/2 will come off in no time and at least you know why it went on and wasn't unexpected! Hey, a STS...

Here are all the updates I have so far for everyone. Two more WI's to go (remember we have the extra 'Jubilee' WI). vickililly - -1 lb MiniMarge - - 1 lb kelz89 - + 1 lb soon2bslimmer - - 7 lbs fairyella - - 3 lbs cagey - - 4 lbs angelajane - - 4 lb rjg123 - - 2 lbs sportylass - - 1 lb...

Thanks Angelajane!! Looks like its been a good week all round!!

Hey guys. Somehow managed to lose 2lbs this week! Its a miracle but am not complaining!! Need to be really good this week so it doesn't catch up on me. Oh and we have two more weigh ins til the end of the month. Well done to everyone on their losses so far!

Well done on the loss Kelly! I was doing really well.... then got tempted by crisps.... and then went a bit to pot! Had 25 syns extra today!! Going to try and claw those back the rest of the week, but very dissapointed in my lack of wllpower again. How do people do it?? I have completely lost my...

That's my target weight too! I cant even imagine being that at the moment as I cant even get into the low 10's (due to my lack of willpower and 'excuses' for having days/weeks off plan!). I feel like I have wasted the past 8 weeks and am very annoyed at myself as I know I couldve been around...

Well...... managed 100% today and that was with going out for lunch!! Managed to resist the food wth creamy sauces etc and had a spaghetti bolognese. I know it wasnt with lean mince and wasnt sure how much oil was used, so assumed about 12 syns for it (just incase!). Here's to day 2 for tomorrow!

Well done!! That must be a brilliant feeling to be under 10st..... I am dreaming of it, but it seems so far away!! Feel like I have been in the top end of the 10's for AGES!!! Actually, its been 2 months (hangs head in shame!). I AM going to get into the 9's!!!

Not really sure what that is? Anyone able to explain it to me? Well done on the weight loss by the way!!

I will try and do the same Angela!! Will let you know how I do. I am really struggling at the moment. After the long weekend I just haven't been able to get myself back on track and finding it really difficult!!

Thanks Angela! I'm glad its helping to motivate you! I really want t get as close to 8 lbs as possible and am really annoyed at myself that I put on this week and havent managed to get back into sticking to plan 100%. My aim is to plan my weeks meals and have a whole week of sticking to plan...

Here are the updates from this week. Let me know if I have made any mistakes! Remember, we have a one week 'Jubilee' extension, taking us to the last week in June. Hopefully I can be setting a better example and lose as close to 8 lbs as possible in the next 3 weeks!! (Mon WI's) vickililly -...

Agghhhh.... 2 lbs on for me! Couldve been worse, as the beginning of the week it was showing as a 4 lbs gain!! Going to pick myself up and get back on it! Determined to get as close to that 8 lbs as possible! Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Wow guys. Well done on the losses after the party weekend! I am dreading stepping on the scales this week!!!

Well then.... in honour of her Majesty.... we will have a 1 week extension to our 8 lb challenge! All in aid of a good cause! Lol!

Hey everyone. Don't worry about the WI's, think all of us are going to be the same with STS or put on weight after this extended weekend of celebrations! I had a SWI yesterday and i had put on 4 lbs!! Hoping that by Fri it won't be as bad, but am preparing for the worst! If you guys want, i can...

Can I join? Fri weigher and aiming for 7 lbs for June x

These are the WI's I have so far for everyone. Let me know if I am missing anyone's WI results! Well done everyone so far! (Mon WI's) vickililly - -1 lb MiniMarge - hunter42 - (Wed WI's) soon2bslimmer - - 3 ½ lbs fairyella - - 2 lbs cagey - - 3 lbs babybuffy84 - angelajane - - 1 lb rjg123 - -...

Had my at home WI.... and down 1 lb. Could have been 2 if I had of resisted the cake and chocs at work this week! Have to now manouvre the long weekend!

Well done everyone on your losses so far!! All doing well on making your 8lb target! I WI tomorrow, but have to change it to Fridays from now on as my friend that I do a home WI with can only do that day. Here's to a loss tomorrow!!

I am soooooo having Green Tea and lemon this week!!

Will add you to the list!

Oh no. Sorry to hear about your back. That's horrible. Don't worry about not weighing in. Am sure you will have a good loss next week, just stay positive and come on here if you need motivation! Good luck and hope the back gets better soon!

Oh and I will update the list at the end of every week x

Ok... here is the list of people doing the "8 lbs in 4 weeks challenge" in order of your WI day. Just start the 4 weeks from this weeks WI or your next one if you have only just started: (Mon WI's) vickililly - -1 lb MiniMarge - hunter42 - (Wed WI's) soon2bslimmer - fairyella - cagey -...

I am the same..... weekends are awful for me!! Going to try SUPER hard from now on though.... even if I only lose a pound or STS this week, I am DETERMINED to lose that 8 lbs in the other 3 weeks! *Game face on* lol!!

WOW!!!! That's amazing!!! What is your secret?? The most have everlost is 4 lbs (in my first 2 weeks). Well done!

Well done!! Thats 1 pound down.... only 7 more to go!! I am weighing in on Thursday, so fingers crossed as my Sat night was awful and yesterday was great until the evening, then had 1...then another... then another mini choc an didnt realise it but had about 20 syns extra for the day. Gutted...

Hey everyone. Will add you all on. Just send me you losses on your WI day and I will keep a record for us all. I had a wedding yesterday.... so was rather naughty, but am aiming on being SUPER good the rest of the week to make up for it and make my target! Good luck to everyone!

Hey everyone. Not been able to get on here for a couple of days.... good to see everyone doing really well! I was at a wedding yesterday and didnt manage to stay 100% :-( Oh well..... try try try again! Heres to 100% today!

Will add you on too Sarah!

Awesome guys!!! Decided to stay with my Thu WI after all as it was easier jut to stick to that. Good luck everyone and I will check with everyone each week as to how we are all doing. Feel free to post whe we need motivation/help etc because I am sure I will need it too!! So far in the...

Will keep you updated on here to let you know how I'm doing. Good luck for tomorrow!!

Awesome!! When is your WI day? Have changed mine to Tuesdays from Thursdays, but will take my first WI from Tuesday. Cant wait to get down to what you weigh now.... 10st still seems like its so far away...but hopefully in 4 weeks time I will be there!!

If it makes you feel better.... I just polished off the last of the M&M's I had in my cupboard (about 1/2 a big pack). BIG blush from me!! Let's aim to get back on it and stay 100% on plan unil our Tuesday WI, then take it from there. I will encourage you to stick to it of you can help me!! lol!

Hey everyone. Have been very slow in my weight losses recently (my own fault due to not staying within my syns!). But am 8lbs away from 10st, which was my target to be by the end of June and at this rate am never going to make it. So am planning on doing a "8lbs in 4 weeks challenge" to get...

Well done Jen (allabouttheclimb)! Am sure you will be in the 9's by Sun! I had my at home WI today too and am down by 1lb, but am changing mine to a Tuesday again, as am awful at the weekends and I found Tues WI's helped me stay more on track. Although started my * today and yesterday and today...

Well... day 1 again for me after falling completely off the wagon yesterday. Found out why i was so uncontrollable though, its my * today :-( Although have lost 1 lb this week. Going back to my Tues at home WI next week though, so will see how I do in 5 days instead of 7. Good luck everyone else.

Lost another pound! Hoping for a better loss next week!

Day 3...... massive fail :-( Really dissapointed in myself! Just have to start Day 1 again tomorrow and keep my chin up!

Day 2 of 100% complete! Had my full 15 syns, but want to cut back to about 8 for the rest of the week, as have a wedding at the weekend.

Hey everyone. I am changing my at home WI from Fri back to Tuesdays, as found having my WI on a Fri meant I wasn't very good over the weekends! I am a STS from Fri, but have set myself a challenge to lose 8lbs in 4 weeks. Weight loss hasnt been good the past 6 weeks (my lack of...

Well..... Day 1 of being 100% almost complete!! Went out for a coffee after work.... and resisted cake and syns, although had a spanish omelette as I was hungry and synned the oil that I'm assuming it was cooked in (but didnt go over syns). Here's to having another 100% day tomorrow!!

Well.... have been shopping..... planned my meals for the week..... and am ready to start a 100% for a week.... even though I have a wedding Sat, but will try and do weekly syns this week and save some up for that! Will really need help to stick to this as have really struggled to stay under...

Hey guys. Is it ok if I join you on this thread? I find recently I have been 100% for 2/3 days, then ruin my week by having another 2/3 days of not being good and my losses have been very small or none for weeks now. I think by trying to do 100% for a week would be a really good challenge for me!

Hey All About the Climb. Thanks for the advice. It's lots of little things that I pick on in the evenings mostly.... tends to be chocolate or bread related, but like I say, its the picking or not being able to resist the cookies/cakes/crisps that people bring into work and are eating around me...

Hey everyone. Been in the top half of the 10 stones for about 6 weeks now (do it on my own at home). Weighed in on Fri and was 10 st 9 lbs.... then had a SWI today and am 2 lbs up! Went way over syns on Fri, so its my own fault, but am just so annoyed with myself. I just can't seem to keep the...

Lost 1 lb..... was a bit gutted as had been good 6 out of the 7 days... but looked back over my week and had gone slightly over syns on a couple of days. Sooooo... back to basics this week and count everything that passes my lips. Really want to lose 2 lbs this week to take me to 10 & 1/2 stone!

Just weighing in for this week. Down by 1 pound. Bit gutted as been really good this week. Oh well, a loss is a loss!

STS for me.... not been on track, but determined to make up for it the next 4 weeks

3 lbs down to take me past 1 & 1/2 stone! Very happy!

Hey guys. Just to let you know that I have had my weigh in at home today.... and have lost 3 lbs! Over the moon to get back on track and feeling much more positive about achieving my goal. Thanks for the support guys, it really helped me!!

Hey Sprinkles. That's great advice. Think I need to keep the big picture in mind and focus more on the positives, not the negatives. It's only been a few weeks and I know that I can do it. I just have to keep focussed on that. Thanks for the advice and will keejyou all updated xl

Thanks so much for that really positive post 'vegan*4*life'. I really like the idea of just focussing on one day at a time and getting through that. I know I can do this and am so desperate to not sabotage my efforts and get the other 20 lbs off! I know that once I get that first loss again and...

Hi everyone. Had a great first 8 weeks on plan (do it on my own at home) and nearly lost 1 & 1/2 stone. However, had 2 weeks holiday leave from work and ended up taking a 'holiday' from plan and now I'm really struggling to get back on plan. Although I STS after the 2 weeks, I STS this week too...

Count me in. Want to lose at least 7 lbs in May. Been the same for 3 weeks now as willpower and motivation have been low. Want to get back on track!!

Hey everyone. Normally weigh myself on a Tuesday, but had two weeks off for Easter.... with birthdays and lots of socialising and now am back at work, thought I'd check out the damage asap..... and am amazed to have a STS! 100 % back on it now as feel bad for wasting two weeks where i could...

Thanks Katie!! Thats helped a lot!!

Lost 3 lbs..... am so chuffed as am back into the 10 stones!!! Yay!!

Aggghhhhh.... I have just made the mistake of having a sneaky weigh in too.... and I am a STS and I weigh in on Thurs. Worst of all I was so miffed as I have been really good since last Thurs (only went a few syns over yesterday) that I ate loads of rubbish this afternoon in a sulk and have now...

I know the post I am replying to is old, but just made this recipe and its a great alternative for those moments you are really craving cake!! Love it! One question though, can i count 35g All Bran as my hex B?

Hey. I had two losses of 4 lbs on both week 1 and 2 and was extra good on my 3rd week and lost nothing also! I had what I wanted to eat on the evening of the weigh in (choc bar and toast and nutella etc and went over my syns!!) and used that to kick start my metabolism after 2 good losses and...

Hey guys..... Miraculously, have managed a 2lb loss this week, taking me to my 1st stone! I know that I have to be EXTRA good the next week to make sure my binge doesn't catch up with me and become a gain at next weeks weigh in. Am going to exercise like mad and stay completely in my syns every...

Katie..... just seen your stats, they are amazing! What is your secret to such great losses every week? Which plan do you stick to and how many syns do you have a day? Sorry for bugging you! lol! x

Am in shock..... after a complete binge on Sun and Mon..... have still managed to lose 2lbs and that takes me to my first stone! Am so happy! I know I have to be EXTRA good this week, to make sure the past couple of days don't show up as a gain next week. Am really determined to get out of the...

Hey...... it continued I'm afraid..... dreading weigh in tomorrow..... but will definitley draw a line under it no matter what the scales say tomorrow. Am determined to lose this weight and not let my previous over-eating addiction creep back in! I know if I stick to the basics of SW I can do...

Hey everyone. Am on my 6th week of doing SW at home and have had an odd day here and there where i have gone over syns by quite a few, but have always managed to reign it in..... but this weekend has been a total, uncontrollable binge fest. Went 20 + over yesterday and tonight had friends over...

Hi everyone. Had to weigh in a day early as can't go use the scales at the place I normally weigh in..... and have lost 2 lbs, which considering its my * today is ok for me.... need 2 more lbs next week for my first stone. Really want to get my stone!! X

Hey everyone. Just to say, that after last weeks STS, I lost 2 lbs this week.... and that was not being 100% so really pleased! Going to try really hard to try and lose 4 lbs this week to get my 1st stone!! x

Hey guys. Am new to all this posting on here. My first post was last week, which was my week 3 and I had a STS, even though I had been good. Well..... I stuck with it (although dd have a few too any pancakes last week and wasn't 100% all week)..... but managed to lose 2 lbs this week! Really...

Thanks Moonstruck. It helps to hear I'm not the only one and that people jave had good losses later on. Will keep going as really want to lose another 2 stone! Thanks for the support!

Hey, thats true. I always forget about breakfast to have my 1/3 superfree. Although I do try to have about 1/2 superfree at my other meals normally as am so worried I am not getting enough at the other two. I will def try and up my intake on superfree in between meals and at breakfast. Thanks...

Hey everyone, Thanks for all the supportive messages. Am feeling a lot more positive after reading all that you have been through. Think I see now that it wasnt anything I did wrong, its just my body's way of adapting. Am going to stick to it the same this next week and hope that I get...

Hey guys, Thanks for the replys. Don't have my food diary on me right now, but can post what I had yesterday and today as think I can remember! EE Day Breakfast: 28g Nestle Clusters (Hex B) and Milk (Hex A) and Instant Latte (3 syns) Snack: Crab Sticks and Pineapple Lunch...

:wave_cry: Hi everyone. This is my first post on here and need some support. Started 3 weeks ago (doing it alone at home). I had losses of 4lb for both the 1st and 2nd week..... did everything the same as the first 2 weeks this week..... and NO LOSS!!!! Not even a pound!! If anything I was...
