Hey all, It's been almost 18 months since I last posted, so I thought this was due an update! I have managed to lose more weight, albeit a lot slower, but that also includes new jobs, moving, bereavement etc. I've attached new pics... I keep them all up in my room as the ultimate motivation...

So, I finally dared to step on my scales this morning...apparently gained 5lb!! Thats over about 3 weeks of excess. I am disgusted at myself- it's not even Christmas yet! I am back on the band wagon today, no more chocolate/crisps/bread/take aways. Its been a horrid few weeks with everything...

Horrible day yesterday, I ate far too much. I had ice cream and chocolate and crisps and belly pork. it was all delish, but now I feel awful and guilty. I'm waiting to hear about this job and it means that I am stressed and not sleeping properly, so then I eat. AHHHHH I need help! xx

Should probably change the name of this thread to "Not at all on track and life seems to hate me". Bad week this week, gained 1lb. My friends came up to visit, and that meant lots of mulled wine, vodka, shots and rose. And McDonalds. Had an assessment day on Monday for a potential new job, so...

STS last night. Not happy with that. I thought I had been really good, but then when I actually thought about it...not so much. Saturday was a bad day....bacon sarnie on white bread, half a cheese scone with butter, sausage, egg, beans, fries and toast for dinner. I can see why I didn't lose. I...

I measured myself for the first time in a few months, following really slow weight loss since august, and I have lost 11 3/4 inches! So gym is great even if you aren't seeing the losses. xx

Well, I didn't actually start the 30 Day Shred till yesterday cos YouTube just wouldn't work properly on the Wii so I had to wait for the DVD. I'm aching today, but its a good ache cos I know its doing me good! My starting measurements are: Weight: 13 stone 12lbs Waist: 36" Bust: 41.5" Hips...

Thanks! I still have a good 2 1/2 stone to go. Most of my weight is carried around my stomach, and if it wasn't for that I would fit in a lot smaller clothes, I'm fairly apple shaped! xxx

I won too :):) I didn't realise anything happened other than getting a nice sash and certificate. I'm still a way off my target so I'm assuming that I am part of the 'restrictions' I've read people talking about! Hey ho, I don't mind, it was just nice to be nominated let alone win! xx

Really do stick it out! I have been at slimming world for 11 months now, and I go to the gym 3-5 times a week (depending on how I feel!) and in the beginning I barely lost anything. Even recently...from August 12th to yesterday, I have only lost about 7lbs but I have lost 15 inches from various...

I've set my target to the upper weight in my healthy range, so 11st 7, but if I get there and decide that theres more to come off, I will lower it until I am happy!

Looking fab! Keep up the good work :)

Well done babe, looking good :)

Challenge Time! My consultant challenged my group this week... a few of us are starting the 30 Day Shred (Search it on Youtube...Brutal!) so I start today. Its basically 30 minutes of hard work for 30 days and you are meant to see great inch loss as well as the weight loss. So to mark the...

It's bloody hard work but undoubtedly worth it! Keep at it and you'll get there. I think that the odd blip is par for the course, as long as you don't let them stop you (as I see happen so often at my group!). Well done on losing 1/2 stone! xx

I'm gutted at the amount of syns in gluhwein, its a Xmas staple in our house! I dread to think what bratkartoffeln with the garlicky sauce will be in syns! :cry:

You look amazing hun, and the blonde looks fantastic :clap:

You look beautiful babe! x

You look amazing my dear! Congrats! xx

You look great babe! Aren't old pictures the best thinspiration!

You look great my dear xx

Wow babe, you look fab :)

Miss Slinky 2012 :) Good morning all. Not such a good evening on the scales last night - I gained 1/2lb, but it could have, and should have, been so so much worse! I was crowned my groups Miss Slinky though, which has given me a motivation boost, to think that all those people voted for me...

Do you buy countdowns? I find that if I know I have paid up front, I don't have the option of missing a group cos it would be a waste of money. Its that little bit of motivation that I need. I'm having trouble losing at the minute too, but when I really think about it, I can pinpoint why...the...

A few more.... Then... Now...

Update! I haven't lost any more, I've been yo-yo'ing because of birthdays/graduation but I found some very very horrendous photos of me that serve as inspiration to NEVER put weight on again and to carry on. People genuinely didnt recognise me at graduation (including my ex!!) and that was a...

You look hot! Well done you! x

You look great babe. Keep up the amazing work :)

Wow! You look great! xx

Unreal! You look fab xx

Well done, you should be so proud of yourself! xx

Wow babe, you look amazing!

Bonjourno! Weigh in tonight :cry:I'm expecting to gain, which is not cool. I was at the doctors this morning, for an interim health check (I have PCOS) and I was weighed, and I have lost 27kg altogether (59.4lbs/4 stone 3) on their scales from my highest recorded weight, which gave me a little...

So, not a great weekend as far as weightloss goes! Fish and chips on Friday, lots of white bread and a giant roast on Sunday. I've also drank far too much milk and to top it all off, I'm getting ill :( At least I went to the gym on friday and saturday, makes me feel a bit better about all the...

Hi there! I've read many a weight loss diary before and now I have decided to do my own. I blog it usually, but it's surely better to share it with people who are going through the same thing!? So, to date, I have lost 3 stone 10 1/2lbs. Pretty decent. Summer has been a hard time and it has...

I'm 5 ft 8, 13st 10 and wear a 16 both top and bottom. My problem is that tops actually dont fit around my shoulders and waist - I could probably do with being in a 14 there, but my bust is big and my stomach gets in the way!

Hi, I do slimming world as well as taking Xenical, and I exercise a lot. I have noticed that if I increase my exercise, it takes a few weeks before I see any big losses again. My gym instructor has tried explaining, something about muscles... but keep with it, doing exercise is doing it right! x

I don't know if they still do it, but the Xenical Map program used to help me loads. Its worth a look. I liked that a nurse used to ring up every few months to see how I was doing on it, and I found that I didn't want have to tell her that I had put weight on so I worked harder. I get similar...

You look brill babe!

You look fab babe. Well done xx

You look great! And you did it so fast! Go you! x

Well done! You look great, and may I say, much much younger now!! x

Wow, you look fab- like a whole different person!

Great thread, so much inspiration here. Thanks!!

Thank you for all these recipes - certainly helping me out with taster sessions!

Hi girls, I have been on Metformin for nearly 5 years now, and I do get horrific side effects but tend to struggle through them. I notice that the metformin suppresses my appetite dramatically- I notice if I forget to take one at lunch or dinner because I am hungry all evening. I do slimming...

I have been on metformin for 5 years now, and in all honesty, I don't believe it does much for me. I find it suppresses my appetite but on the flip side of that, I have at least one week a month where I get really ill from it. I guess its helped the weightloss though! I tried dianette and was...

Thanks guys, it has been really hard work, but I feel so so so much better. I don't have any of the knee/ankle problems that used to plague me, I need less sleep, I am never as lethargic and I am so much happier. Keep slimming ladies :)

Sorry, this was meant to say, that Yes, I do a lot of exercise- at least 3-5 times a week....No bingo wings for me!

Well I used to cram myself into sizes that didn't fit, but if I am being honest, it would be about 4 sizes now. I can finally shop at Topshop :king: x

I bought a body con dress at the start of the year, and i couldn't even get it over my bust. Now I can get it on- I look like Vicky Pollard (Little Britain)- but its a start! I keep it hanging up so I can see it at all times too xx

Thank you! I don't look it in that photo, but there are others where I do! I was just excited with my life that day because I have never fit into them jeans before! Feeling so much better about myself since I lost the weight! xx

Thanks! I started in Jan 2012, and lost a lot initially, then summer hit and holidays/festivals/general shenanigans began and my losses slowed right down. I'm back on track now, I need to be, I refuse to go to my graduation and look bad! Are you doing slimming world? It is so so easy to do, and...

I love these inspirational photos, so I thought I would post my own. I started at 17 stone 6lbs and am down to 14 stone now. I think I look like a different person now, I can only imagine what I will look like at target. Hard work, but so so so worth it! Before- NYE 2011 with my super slim...

Hi, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19 (now nearly 24), although I first went to the doctors about it at 15. I had many of the symptoms, but the doctor just brushed it off as me being ridiculous. If only she had diagnosed me then, I would have been prescribed metformin so so much earlier...

Hi, I'm new around here too... I have being doing slimming world since January 2012. Lost 4.5lb this week, taking my total to 3 stone 5.5lb - not bad considering I have been on holiday (to Ibiza no less!). Had a bad few months from June to August, didn't lose much, but I have 7 weeks till...
