Hi Everyone, not been here for a while, but back at the classes now, lost 5lbs this week, making 9 in total!!

Completed week 1 Cardio yesterday, finally got round to it after having gastroenteritis and not feeling great!! My god it was so much harder than I expected! I know I'm really unfit, but I didn't expect it to be that much harder than Resistance and Core! Saying that I did enjoy it and am looking...

Mmmm that sounds lovely!!! Whats the recipe?

Hi Everyone, hope I can join!! I've been on and off weight watchers/slimming world for a few years now, but am back on weight watchers this time around and hoping that this time is the last time!! Had a bit of a shaky start, and been poorly this week, but on the bright side I have lost 5lbs and...

Hi Everyone, been looking for a Thursday weigh in group! My name is Keeley and I'm currently doing weight watchers, have been on and off dieting now for years but feel like I just need to get my head down and stick to it! I'm doing a combination of weight watchers and kettleworx. I've been ill...

Not been very well this week, as there is some kind of bug going around, but on the bright side, I have lost 5lbs, getting me to my half stone award!!!!

Hi All, I've now completed week 1 core and resistance! Did resistance this morning and found I was a lot more tired throughout than Core...now dreading Cardio haha!!! I'm sure it'll all get easier, and I keep thinking its one step closer to banishing those bingo wings for good!!!

Completed Week 1 Resistance today!! Was much harder I thought than Core....now I'm dreading Cardio haha! Sure it'll be ok! Could do most of the exercises for the amount of time as Ryan this time, even managed the plank for almost as long as he did!! Hopefully by week six I'll be able to do it...

Hi Everyone!! Hope you are all well. I got home from a crap day at work to find that my kettleworx set had arrived - far earlier than expected!!! Have set up a new thread in regards to my diary but just a quick update...tried Core...not sure if we have to do them in some sort of order...

Hi Everyone, So after reading all of the many posts about Kettleworx I decided to give in and buy it!! Bought the 10 DVD set with 5lb weight from Amazon, didn't expect it until next week, but got home today and it was sat waiting for me! How exciting!!! So not 100% sure if you have to do the...

Hi to you both!! thank you for following!! Hopefully the more we all support each other the better we'll all do!! :gimi: Food Diary Day 3: Breakfast (5): 26g Curiously Cinnamon - 3 150ml SS milk - 2 Lunch (5): 49g mackerel - 4 Salad Cream Light 1tbsp - 1 Cherry Tomatoes - 0 Mixed Salad...

Just got them from Asda, but you can get them from most supermarkets!! They're Heinz so fairly popular!!! I love them, however they do come at a price, 4 pro points which is more than id usually use on crisps but well worth it!!!

Id also be interested in inch loss throughout? Im trying to keep a record now as I keep getting told sometimes we won't get the loss in weight but should notice on inch loss!!

Thanks for this Sue, this really has helped me too!! I think for me where I've gone wrong previously has been where I've expected too much of a weight loss or been disappointed with a 1 or 2lb loss and just given up, whereas in fact this all just adds to our journey!! I'm definitely going to...

Food Diary Day 2: Breakfast (11): 2 medium sized eggs boiled - 4 2 medium slices brown bread - 5 2 tsp's of lurpak - 2 Lunch (12): 60g mackerel - 5 Salad Cream Light 1tbsp - 1 Cherry Tomatoes - 0 Mixed Salad - 0 Wispa Dessert youghurt - 6 Tea (13): Veg (asparagus) - 0 Sweet Potato (100g) -...

Oh they were lovely!! I'm not a crisp person, definitely more sweet than savoury but I could eat those all day!!!

Hi Sue, Looking at your stats, we seem to be on a very similar journey, albeit you at the end and me at the beginning!! Same approx weight loss and same way of doing it (WW & Kettleworx). Just wanted to ask if you have any tips, how long its taken you, anything to look out for? Also do you...

Yeah the before and after photos I've seen look amazing, I'm hoping it'll be the kind of exercise I can maintain but still see results, which from the sounds of the comments that should be the case!! Hopefully the set should be here by the end of the week, I'm looking forward to getting started!!

Hi Everyone, I've just bought the 10 DVD set of Kettleworx with a 5kg weight, I don't exercise and have never tried kettle bells before, what shall I expect? Is it really as good as what everyone says?

Thank you to you both! Hopefully this time will be the last, I'm really determined to lose the weight once and for all this time!! Food Diary: Breakfast (5): 26g Curiously Cinnamon - 3 150ml ss milk - 2 Lunch (9): 55g mackerel - 4 Salad Cream Light 1tbsp -1 Cherry Tomatoes - 0 Mixed Salad...

Hi Everyone, I'm an on off dieter, have done weight watchers about 10 times before, done slimming world about 4 times, and here I am again trying weight watchers. The past couple of weeks haven't gone very well, which is why I realised I probably need support now to try and shift all this...

I tried this recently and hated it! Tasted nothing like chocolate to me and had a really strange taste to it! Surprised so many people love this!! Haha

I have also promised myself some Louboutins!!! :D:D Good luck to us both!!!

Hi Everyone, Hope you're all doing well :D My weigh in tomorrow, went out over the weekend for Mothers Day - my sister made a surprise visit from down South which was lovely...but it resulted in us all being very drunk indeed! So I think I was over on my points, however we avoided a meal out...

2lb loss for me this week, 1lb to go! Was hoping for a bigger loss, but still a loss at the end of the day!! :D well done to everyone on their losses!! 1.Ailly 4lb (1.5lbs lost - 4.5lbs to go) 2.All About The Climb 10lb (0lbs lost- 10lbs to go) 3.Ally89 5lb (3lbs lost - 3lbs to go) 4a...

I must be the only person to dislike this! It tasted really strange, I just couldn't get my head around it! Definitely not one I'll be having again!!! :D

Hi Everyone!! Hope you're all doing good, been so busy the past few days, got more job interviews (promotions) coming out of my ears! But hopefully something good will come of it! Got today off to practice a presentation due tomorrow, but don't know if thats more tempting to eat crap or...

4 slices of bolognese pizza, which was actually not really that nice :(

Was a nightmare but onwards and upwards! :) Got my first weigh in tonight! :S x

Thanks everyone!! Will make sure I let you all know how it goes tonight :D:D I so agree with everyone, I've got the mindset now that its going to be 'when' I fit into my thin clothes not 'if,' I can't imagine walking into a shop picking up a dress and knowing that it will most likely look...

Hi KimmyKins....it as an absolute nightmare haha! I stuck to as plain a meat I could find, avoiding all the yummy starters!!! xx

Haha think we both could do with a bit of motivation! When is your first weigh in? xx

Having a really crap week, have interviews for promotions coming out of my ears, and recently split up with my boyfriend of 3 and a half years. Had my first cake today :( had one of those mini egg mini cakes! I hope it doesn't affect my first weight loss, as I have had pretty much all of my syns...

Some great tips, will definitely make sure that I regularly try things on to see if they will fit! Will be horrible if I completely bypass them and don't get to wear them!! :D

Already caught up online!! TPBM has a secret they'd like to share....

I was a complete and utter slob! Didn't do any exercise, well unless you count walking upstairs to bed and walking to and from my car on a morning haha!! :D

Jacket potato, no butter and baked beans and a banana!!! :D:D

Oh I'd love that, I'd love to have a big shopping spree where I can treat myself to lots of new clothes and sell my current ones!! :D:D

Haha excellent!!! :D:D It seems to be quite a popular thing to do!

Unfortunately so :(:( TPBM lives in Yorkshire

I know how you feel LisaC, previously to being on Slimming World, I was on WW and got down to 14st 7lbs, but for some reason I just couldn't stop putting on and losing 5 pounds around that weight. I seemed to just stick and it got so frustrating that I gave up and put it all back on again. I...

Well Done Rachpid on getting into your 22's, such a good idea, I think I must have a pair of jeans in every size, just a shame that sizing is so inconsistent!! :D:D

I'm so glad I'm not the only one, I think it's so easy to keep things thinking oh I'll fit into that one day. I really cannot wait for that day to finally be here. I keep trying to avoid buying new things now thinking even if I lose a small amount of weight, I'll have loads of nice clothes to...

Morning!! Me too, I have a promotion interview today, so thats stopping me from eating so far with nerves!! But for lunch I plan on having a jacket potato with beans!! Fingers crossed for us both! Good luck xx

Good luck!! Let me know how it goes!! xx

Yeah a long time ago though, I was recently a weight watchers follower! Getting used to extra easy and must say I'm loving it so far!! Hopefully my first way in will show this on Thursday! xx

Yeah I know what you mean, so far I've had stir fry, jacket potato, pasta, full english breakfast, weetabix, salads, steak and chips, bacon, boiled eggs, omelette.....I love it, feel like I can eat anything! xx

Haha good plan!! Possibly the 3rd or 4th week!!!

Haha thanks all!! Can't wait to start losing! Hopefully the tash won't add to my weight ;)

Oh I'd love to join! I have 99 pounds to lose, but would love to lose 6 stone by the end of the year!? x

Haha...its difficult to begin with, but as soon as you get into it you'll be fine! I've stuffed myself today and had no syns at all!! x

Yeah I've read lots of good reviews too! Plus like you said the price is really good, may have to purchase a copy !! :D

Ooo let me know how it goes, I've been debating whether or not to get this!!

This is excellent!! :D:D

I've bought my pedometer and it comes tomorrow, can't wait to get started!! Not sure what to aim for initially. Think I might wear it for a week, see how many steps I usually walk and then double it! I hope that'll be a good starting point! :D

Prawns, tomatoes, basil, tobasco sauce, pasta :D was yummy!!!!

Nope.....Good Will Hunting TPBM has 99 pounds to lose...

Most definitely Claire!!! I think thats exactly what I'm lacking!!! :D x

My issue is that I see something nice in a shop, think oooo I'll get that, buy it, get it home and lo and behold too small, so rather than do the normal thing and take it back, I think oh I'll keep it and hopefully fit into it, I'm still waiting 2 years down the line! I've got some really nice...

Thanks Emmaline, hopefully this time on the diet will be the last!! Food Diary - Extra Easy - 05/03/12: Breakfast - Beans (FF) and Tinned Tomatoes (SFF) Lunch - 2 Weetabix (B choice) and 375ml Skimmed Milk (A choice) Dinner - Spaghetti (FF), Tinned Tomatoes (SFF), Basil, Prawns (FF)...

I've seen these now quite a lot, so thought I'd take the plunge and start filling one out, hopefully this will help! Pretty much used my syns now for the week (Family Bday) so starting tomorrow I should have a syn free rest of week!! :D:D :flirt2::flirt2::D:D

The Hunger Games - it's a trilogy of books, being made into a film later this year. I originally saw the movie trailer and it looked so good I downloaded the books onto my kindle and read all 3 within a couple of days. Definitely the kind of book you just can't put down.

I started to read the Hunger Games whilst way on holiday, its a set of 3 books set in a post apocalyptic USA. I was hooked and had read all 3 within a matter of days. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

I felt like this until I received a kindle for my birthday! I absolutely love proper books, my mum and I have boxes full of them but I love the handiness of the kindle. Usually on holiday I can go through 5 books which obviously takes up precious room in my luggage if taking them with me! Now I...

I have a 9 year old Toy Poodle and Shih Tzu cross called Minnie! Love her...

Yummy....blackcurrant The person below me...has brown eyes

I'm loving it so far, feel so healthy compared to WW, loving that I can eat seafood and meats without counting the points and weighing etc. But will see what my first weigh in on thursday shows....:D

I've decided to be a little more adventurous and go for 10lbs! Wish me luck!! First weigh in on thurs..... 1. Ailly 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) 2. Ally89 5lbs (1lbs lost - 4lbs to go) 3. ally___pally 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8lbs to go) 4. Angie_b 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) 5. anna* 10lbs...

I've just bought an Omron pedometer from Amazon, so hopefully that does the trick :D

Any advice on where to get a good pedometer? Thanks

I've tried both and must admit, I loved weight watchers, the new plan was good, but I just lost motivation! Pointing everything could be frustrating, and because you could eat anything, but had to point, I felt like I was never eating healthily. So far on SW I've found I've eaten more fruit...

I too am a restarter, have done slimming world about 4 times, weight watchers on and off now for the past 2 years, but I'm back on slimming world as of last thursday and am determined that this time will be the last time! I also have over 6 stone to lose! Lets do it!!! :D:D

Thats amazing!! Well done you, hopefully that will be me before long :)

I just started Slimming World on Thursday after a couple of years on weight watchers with no change :( Fingers crossed for you and me both, always nice to have some support! xx

Never...watched it and cried like a baby ;) The person below me has exciting news......

This is why I hang onto them, surely the feeling of fitting into something hanging in there for however long must be amazing! I've got a pair of size 10 jeans from when I was 14 and cannot wait to get into them. LMD - I don't know what I would do if my feet changed size haha, I have the...

Eden Lake - one of the few films that has made me feel physically sick! I'm a huge movie buff, but this just seemed to push too many boundaries that I just wasn't comfortable with!

I love Vampire Diaries too, and the Secret Circle. I get the episodes from America too, but its currently on a break :( I love it! Desperate for Elena and Damon to get together!

I'm glad its not just me! I've told myself that I will buy no more clothes as have more than enough that could fit if I just lose some weight! Thank god for shoes is all I say, at least they never let me down!! :p

I want to try this, I've heard its amazing. Any recommendations on where to buy this? I'm new to exercise, will I pass out? Haha, I'm a bit of a wuss!

Does anyone else have a wardrobe full of clothes that you've bought, are too small but you've kept for when you can fit into them? I pull out certain items and think oh hopefully soon I'll fit into this....but I am determined to make this the year that will happen! This year I want to have...

I've just bought the mini tubs of this from Asda and can't wait to try, I was dreading it would be too cheesy chocolate but sounds like its a little like nutella! On toast with a banana sounds lovely!! :D

Hi Everyone, I joined slimming world last thursday after probably 2 years on weight watchers. As much as I enjoyed weight watchers, I didn't seem to be going anywhere and felt like I needed a change, I've joined slimming world and am determined to lose the weight! Its my sisters wedding in July...

I'm going to a chinese buffet today for my Nan's birthday! Help me! What can I have? Anything there that I can actually eat? Thanks in advance :confused:

I have also been diagnosed with PCOS along with a Bicornuate uterus. I was recently in hospital with a burst cyst (so painful), but have realised that the best way to get through this is to lose weight. Its such a struggle as I feel like I'm a let down when I can't do it, I don't know whether...

Is it too late to join this? I've just started slimming world and would love some sort of motivation to get me off the couch!!! :D

I just started slimming world on Thursday and would love to join this, I have another 4 weigh in's this month and would love to aim for 7lbs !!! :D
