Thank you both! I've felt a little better with things today - I've got chocolate in my room... but its been here all week and I've only had a little bit! Started going on my exercise bike as well to get some more cardio in alongside weights - getting back into things, just a little fed up that...

I've STS the last two weeks... argh! Not in a great place at the moment with everything, need to get some positivity back into my life!!

It's a pain when I like certain foods apart - but not together! I used to absolute adore pasta and now I've gone right off it as it just puts me in a carb coma and I feel like I'm going to explode! (lovely image!) I actually quite like salad food, it just gets boring after having it day in day...

Hi Jules, we have a very similar start weight and goal weight! Best of luck - its a long battle but we will get there! x

I struggle with ready meals as I like to try keep everything as 'clean' and unprocessed as possible, plus I have no microwave in work so its going to be a hard one! I was thinking of cooking up some rice dishes in the mornings where I'm not training that I could eat cold! Otherwise its sticking...

Hi everyone following this :) Anyone else a serial weigh-er? I'm on and off the scales every two minutes (not good I know...) only problem is mine weigh me a lot heavier than my trainers do and I've been SO good this week logging all my things on MFP and keeping off the bread and fizzy drinks...

Thank you! I must remember to log into here more often for the support! ( I get support outside - but its nice to sometimes vent to people you don't know!) Had quite a good day today - its so hard finding food for lunch that doesn't involve bread of some sort (bar salad - but I cannot eat that...

Wow... I keep forgetting to log in on here and post! I'm up to 38lb lost now... Which is quite amazing for me, the quitter! Hah! Think I've lost over 25 inches from waist, upper arm, hips and leg now! And 3 dress sizes. Had a bad few weeks due to injury where I couldn't train and the...

Weigh in been and gone, a pound off - which I'm happy with this week :) Next pound takes me into my next stone too! Exciting times ahead!

Thank you :) I'm not too bad - had a busy week and have been ill also so not really expecting a huge loss - a pound would be great, anything else is a bonus! Need to remember not to be too hard on myself when I have not-so-good weeks, I'm loosing inches and body fat and gaining muscle so my...

Well its finally time to log back into MiniMins... Where have I been? I stopped slimming world after a few months as I was finding it hard to keep up with the diet/changes alongside living at home and having family meals. I then joined WW, lost a few pounds, went up and down and had a rubbish...

I have the link saved on my computer :) will post it for you tomorrow, need to get writing again this summer as I've lost all motivation for it at the minute! (my modules this semester aren't very creative!) Have said I'm going to try write my own anthology of poems over summer as I really...

Thanks everyone! Trying a bit more variety in my diet, going to try a green day today, the weather is stunning and I'm red hot in work - just had a calippo (5syns) and oh myy, it was worth every syn!!

For now.. Just need to bottle this and keep it for the times when I'm just reaching for the bad foods in excess!! Finding it easier as its nice weather so wanting to eat salads and such! Cx

Did this with the mint and chocolate one, completely forgot about it - 2 days later it's like a rock!! I'll have burnt more calories trying to eat it than is in it at this rate, think I need an ice pick!! Will defiantly be buying the ice cream moulds and making ice lollies with these mmmm!

1.) One week on Slimming world - not felt hungry or felt the need to "cheat" 2.) Gorgeous sunshine outside, infact may go sit in the garden with the cat and do some uni work! 3.) Ordered a lovely new dress for my friends wedding in my usual size, and its too big :D

My first weigh in tomorrow, hopefully I'll be able to report back in here with a smile on my face! Good luck everyone else :) x

Just had a look on the app, and it's showing 5.5 syns per pot all varieties - think they're the right ones, they do look lovely though!!!

I think it's £49.50 You pay for 10 and get 2 free (I think!) x

Danny is gorgeous and the accent... *melts* Jessie J is gorgeous and she didn't half make me laugh, The boyfriend hates these shows but really got into it last night!

Started using these as my hex b as I'm not a huge bread lover or cereal love - absolutely In love with the chocolate and orange one! Need to stock up on these I think!

I know it's not slimming world but if you can get anyone who goes to weight watchers to buy you a box - rich toffee bars are 4 syns each, put them in the fridge and they go really hard and take 4 times as long to eat and they're gorgeous! Just enough to satisfy a chocolate craving. Sorry of...

And also thank you for some different meal ideas!! like you I was a choc lover, and can't believe the difference a week has made, has a bounty last night and oh my god did I savour every tiny little bit, was absolutely lovely!! But I was so satisfied after the ONE bar instead of 4!! Also managed...

Hi Lucy, Just had a good read through your diary - firstly well done on your fab weight loss so far! And more so thank you sooo much for that hunters chicken recipe, drooling at the thought!!! How did you find the 30 day shred? Are you still on it? Staring mine tomorrow! Eeek Elle xxx

Lovely weekend with the OH, Cooked SW burger and syn free chips - ohmydays, who needs McDonald's! Made roast potatoes in the same way as syn free chips and they too were absolutely gorgeous, even the family agreed - convert to the SW way!! Struggling to get 1/3 super free in at he weekends...

Got one of these the other day and I loved it! Going to try freeze them and see what they come out like x

It's arrived! Waiting for Monday to come around and starting it then (when I'm alone in the house and can look like a beet root all I please!

They are absolutely amazing!!! On a crafty note, I've made quite a few sock monkeys :D which my dog absolutely adores, and wheat bags - need to stock up and attempt to sell them this winter!!

Day 4: (won't update this so much after the first week or so) Have been doing EE for the past 4 days but stuck now! Think I'm going to start adding red and green in now, Once again resisting temptations from the sweets and Greggs etc, and STILL not had Pepsi or lucozade - found that tescos...

For tea: omelette packed with lots of veg :) with side salad - actually felt like I was having egg foo young from the Chinese!

Ooh yes! Thank you - having to do it on the laptop in the kitchen anyway as living rooms full of my work kit! That's me getting up extra early tomorrow to start! X

I want to try aim for 2lb a week until Xmas, any more will be a huge bonus but that will be fab :) and the lowest weight ive been since I can think back!! 2lb a week = 82lb/ 5st 12 - oh let's make it round up to 6st!! (wow - never actually realised 2lb a week could add up to that so...

Still not arrived! :( Hopefully it's gonna get here tomorrow (can't believe I'm wanting to hurry up this DVD arriving!) If it doesn't arrive I'm sure theres gonna be some super duper fit postie somewhere!

Greggs, the sweet shop, buns and cakes and a latte - first full day at work whilst been on SW, glad its over with!!

A huge omelette packed full of veg, with a side salad, could have been eating egg foo young from the Chinese if I closed my eyes!!! Very full now

Ohh, tell me about it! I've started putting mine it the cup holders in my car on the way to work, then straight from there to the fridge, just need to remember to take them out!, :D will be lovely in summer to get to a black car, parked in direct sunlight all day - and a muller light sat there...

Ordered this the other day so hopefully should arrive tomorrow, me and my mum are planning on kicking everyone out of the living room (or getting up earlier and doing the work out early morning). I'm not mega mega unfit, but wouldn't say I'm fit by any means, got a feeling this may kill me out...

Thanks all :) Day 3 today; syned some chocolate as I was reallly craving it, so thought I'd do it the proper way, that 25g of chocolate tasted sooooo much nicer than the whole bar would normally have!!! Starting to get over my fizzy drinks cravings now, sticking to my lovely sugar free juice...

Thank you :) I'm going to think of it a 7lb at a time, theres just going to be 26 7s :D But little(non food) treat at the end of each 7 I think :)

On another note my auntie is exactly the same with my Mum, mum is on a diet and so is she, when mum isn't on a diet my auntie isn't, when they both are, she always attempts to sabotage the diet!

Personally I think that's a great idea :D

Proud today that I resisted Greggs and the sweetie shop, also went to the co-op, walked past all the easter goodies and got just what I went in for!! Also day 2 without eating lots of crisps and without drinking lucozade/Pepsi/energy drinks!

Hi all, was wondering if it's too late to join this? Would love to have something to work towards like this (and think its always better to do it with like minded people) Only started on Monday but have Over half of my body weight to lose (ouch, that hurts saying it that way!) Thanks Elle xxx

These sound absolutely fab! Opened up a wholeeee new idea for my sweet tooth! Thank you so much!

Oh and I've had no lucozade or 'normal' Pepsi, feeling a little lethargic at the min but I guess it's me just coming down from all the sugar I used to drink/eat!! Shocked to see lucozade was 17.5 syns!!! Could easily drink 3-4 a day! E xxx

Well I'm on Day two, and apart from one little slip up today I've done really well! Had some chocolate :( but then counted and 'borrowed' 3 syns from tomorrows (hope this works out that you can do this!) Felt really full most of the time and have reached for fruit instead of chocolate crisps! A...

Well Done!!! Hope to be joining you in the 21s soon! E xxx

I'm still in 2 minds with this! Need to try it I guess!

My target "treat" will be a pair of Christian Louboutins and a trip to NYC! Ultimate reward!!!'

I'm proud of myself today because I actually ate breakfast I've been to the supermarket and avoided picking up sweeties, And most importantly - I've kept well away from pepsi and lucozade!!

Hi all, Newbie here, went to my first class last night and was horrified by the scales! Going to be one long hard slog but I've promised myself a pair of Christian Louboutins and a trip to New York when I eventually get to my target!!! I've been fat and frumpy throughout my teens, and the...

Hi all, Newbie here, found the forum when googling slimming world, had my first weigh in yesterday and was absolutely mortified when the scales showed I was almost at 23 stone - more stones than years!! :( Tried multiple diets going, but not slimming world, and hearing from friends how...

Hi all, Checking into this thread but hopefully not for long! Joined today and was absolutely horrified when I stepped on the scales, heaviest I've ever been and really want to change it! Just getting to terms with the plan, all seems very doable and there are plenty of substitutes for foods I...

Hi all, new here, finally plucked up the courage to go join a class. Knocked for 6 when I got on the scales to see how much my weight has crept up to over the past few years. Have tried WW on and off for a few years but to no success and had a few people raving about slimming world to me...
