So good reading how excited you all are! I joined at the same time as Rochelle and I too found this forum MASSIVELY helpful in my decision making! Your first 3 months are absolute chaos but I can safely say I absolutely love my new role as consultant and hope to wean off my full time job by the...

Glad you made it safely, I'll be setting off early doors. Will def meet you down there! X

Thanks guys, district manager confirmed the SP refers to a new plan, I'm so relieved, I thought it was something I've missed all this time and was panicking that I was going in completely clueless all this time! How long would it take you to drive DancingSan? I know how you feel with the...

Ooooh that's a great idea Rochelle, never even thought about the 2 for 1! You sound like you're in a great place for training, I FINALLY have an editorial in the bag just ummming and ahhhing over my headline! x In the middle of doing my Diplomas but the term 'Extra Easy SP' and 'Extra Easy S...

No it doesn't have to be funny at all but is prefer it to be as my editorial has a good element of humour in. I haven't lost a massive amount like some women (just a measley 2stone) so didn't really want that in my title as people might not think it's anything to shout about, despite the fact...

Hi All, Broke the news to group last night, my session (the 5:30pm) seemed quite happy, the second session (the 7:30pm) a little more reluctant but I'm hoping thats just because they've never met me before and are just concerned about somebody taking over from our current consultant. I really...

Hi Guys, I'm currently in the middle of writing an editorial for my local Slimming World group as I am starting up as a Slimming world consultant in my town. I am reaaaaally struggling to come up with an eye-catching/clever headline though and I'm usually great at these things! I want to try...

All sorts seems to have happened since I last posted! Congrats to all the latest additions joining us in Derby! We are telling my group next week, I'm so nervous that they are all going to decide they're leaving ha! Let me know how you get on telling yours! Pre-training tomorrow so will get...

I feel like I've got so little time to get everything done before training on the 12th-14th, still waiting for my pack to come for pre-training on Thurs. It sounds exciting though and looking forward to meeting you all! Oh and thanks Rochelle, the successful response made the bump all worth it...

I've been accepted ? got the job and I'll be joining some of you on the 12-14th for training ? so excited! Lovely TD called tonight saying she didn't want me waiting til Fri/Mon to find out ha! No obvious damage to the car, it's going in for a health check in a couple of weeks so fingers...

Well today I had my interview to potentially come a SW consultant. I'm hoping I did well in the interview but won't find out for another 3-4 working days! My nerves weren't helped when I was crashed into at some traffic lights on the way there! Hopefully I'll be able to update this diary soon...

Hi all again! Had my interview today, was so nervous and to top it off some idiot drove into the back of me on the way there! ? Not sure how it went as the questions weren't like a normal interview, I couldn't stop myself talking though ... Oops! Hope they realised it was nerves! How did you...

Not posted for a while as trying to get everything else in my life straight before my interview as I know from this thread that it's all go from training! Congrats jt, I bet you can't wait for training! I can't wait for the rest of is to hear, hope it's good news so I can join you all! With...

Chuffed to hear you've sorted transept and a room buddy for training Rochelle, at least that's one weight off! Pink Kitty congrats!!! I hope to hear over the next few weeks that you're through to training! I know exactly how you ladies feel, I only recently moved in to my first house and...

I got given my interview date last night!! Roll on Tues 18th ?

I agree, it would make things much easier and a little less scary if we'd already made a few friends on here. The idea of so many new people at head office for training is just as petrifying as it is exciting ha! I wish I only worked 3 days, I work a 48 hour week so it would currently be a...

The dreaded tyre! I feel exactly the same, it makes you feel so self conscious in so many situations! I can't wait until I can just walk in to shops and pick up things without trying them on, you must be so proud of yourself, I hope the rest of your journey is plain sailing! Have you put a...

The mini milks are 1.5 syns each and treat size curly wurlys are 3.5 syns. Great for a sweet hit! Yeah I've heard that about the ice cream going hard/crystallised with muller lights unless stirred, so I picked up an ice cream maker from Aldi for about £15, it excitedly got shoved in the freezer...

Flump marshmallows are really low 2syns max and the fun sized Cadbury chic bars are 3-4 syns each. I've heard freezing curly wurlys works really well! Mini milk lollies are a good treat and also fruit pastille lollies. If you want a free treat frozen grapes, red currants and black currants are...

Well I wish you the best of luck! And if I don't make it past interview then have fun at training! I think I waited 3 days after attending ops event to be contacted. So exciting! Still waiting to hear back so I'm hoping no news is good news.

Yeah I definitely want to drop the weight before I even think about kids, I hear how so many women struggle once that baby weight is on! And I definitely won't be sucked in to believing I have to eat for two ? I don't think we're ever 100% happy with how we look? (Stretch marks warts and all!)...

Yeah about 2 hours away! You really have got quite a trek to head office! I thought I had a big journey, I'm sure somebody will come along in that time, hopefully! Yeah the Premier Inn doesn't look too badly priced anyway so hopefully get on there, just wish I could hear back about if I've got...

Hi Blondcat! Thanks for your message, you've done brilliantly! Well done you! How old are you if you don't mind me asking? It's each to their own I guess to see what goal weight you want to get to, I'd like to get to probably a similar weight to your goal weight really! Before I have kids...

Hi all, I thought it was about time I started my own weight loss diary, mostly for my own motivation and encouragement, but also so any of you who feel interested to have a read/giggle/despair/sympathise with my week to week experiences and struggles. Where do I start? From the start? Ok! So...

Ohhhhh that's a stroke of luck! I would love to take over my own group! Do you think you will still continue to weigh at the same group? Rochelle that's great to hear you got accepted even though you aren't able to drive, they must have loved you! I'm sure somebody will be happy to car share...

Congrats to Rochelle1, SleepySlimmer and DancingSan for making it through interview, how long did it take you guys to hear back from the interview? An Jo it's great to hear from you! Seems like it truly is as mad as it sounds! My life is in a much more together and settled place at the mo...

Remember me from way back when at the start of your ops event? I'm applying for interview now finally! Think the timing is better now! How are you finishing everything? Have you settled OK?

Hi All! Thanks firstly to all involved for the effort that goes in to this! My weigh in day is Wednesday and I hope to have an 8lb loss this month please

1lb off for me this week please Daz or the newbie if the job has now changed hands. Thank you for all your time and effort Daz and thanks and good luck to whoever takes over! ? hope to see you all on August!

1lb off for me this week pretty please, thanks again as always!

0.5lb off for me this week pretty please ??

Hi Again ladies, Congrats to all who have since been accepted! Jo you seem so pumped for it! I can't wait until I'm at that stage, roll on October for interview time!!

0.5lb off for me please Daz! An good luck with the app development when you eventually get chance to start the process! Sounds like fun!

Sorry for the late reply, how did you get on at your interview? I've spoken to my consultant (who would also be my team developer) and I think I'm going to go for it, although due to a long Holiday coming up and the fact I'm doing an NVQ along side my 48 hours we are going to wait until...

You've all been so strong, I'm not sure this thread has helped me as my 'what I didn't eat' item for today is still sat right next to me and reading this has made me hungry ?. My theory is, if I can make it to bed time the packet of crisps can wait!

Some amazing losses this week so far! You've all inspired me!

Thanks for adding me to the thread Daz! 1lb off for me this week! Have given myself a 5lb target at group tonight, aim high... Reach for the stars (an all that jazz!)

If I'm not too late I'd like to join in please for 8lb this July. Decided on a dry July too so hopefully the alcohol (or lack of!) will help!! Good luck everyone!

Thanks jaylou for your honest opinion! Jo what a small world!!! What are your thoughts? How did you find it?!

Hi Ladies & Gents! I've just returned from the OP event today and was filled with encouragement but came away with many questions that hit my head as soon as I set off on the journey home! Many of the questions have been answered in this thread and I've been reading for hours! It's been really...

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll definitely take a look at your diary. What a good idea, never really thought of it before!

Ooooo, what's a Booja Booja chocolate? Sounds interesting!? :drool:

Ohhhh you definitely aren't the only one that does it. If you don't allow yourself the odd treat/slip up the chances are you'll get bored or fed up and give up anyway. I'm sure you'll surprise yourself on WI day :)

Thanks for your help cavegirl13!

Hi Tracy, I've just started back on Slimming World today. My first day back on, and as usually feeling very motivated at the start, but just like you and many others could do with a few people to help me keep that motivation going! I see you were worried about the eating out, you've definitely...

Hi All! I've followed Slimming World on/off for a few years. I stopped going to group in November and have decided to try and go it alone from home. Going to WI is just working out too expensive when I never have the time to stay to group, so I'm hoping to find a bit of support and also give...

Is there any easy way to navigate through post topics? I don't want to create a topic when there is already a thread on it as I know this winds a lot of people up! P.S back on the weight loss band wagon and ready to put this forum to my best use :)

Thank you sooo much, my graph is exactly the same! I guess it just helps to know that everybody else goes through the same sometimes. I'm craving healthy/syn free foods now too, there's only too much naughtiness I can take before my body starts to get a bit worked up. Seems like you're working...

Hi Everyone, I'm 22 and losing weight with Slimming World, had a big gain this week 2.5lb ... and I was just wondering if anybody else has had a bad week and how do you all usually bounce back? I'm quite motivated now due to the gain but just interested in the experience of others?

** Update ** Loved it! Who needs milk!? Thanks everyone!

Thanks to anybody that helped out with this thread! After a big (expected) gain this week I'm feeling a little low and wanted a quick easy meal that doesn't taste like rabbit food but without any syns in it! Glad to hear it's been tried and tested without milk, can't wait to make mine now! :o

1lb off for me this week, over the moon with this as I’ve been very naughty so had to do plenty of exercise to balance it out… and it’s paid off. Hope everybody is seeing the results they want! Chuffy_29 11lbs (7.75lbs lost, 3.25lbs to go) Madmuppet 12lbs (4lbs lost, 8lbs to go) *joanne* 10lbs...

*** Ignore my last post this is what it should have been – First week back and 7lb lost I'm amazed! Congrats to everybody else, and thanks for the support!! Chuffy_29 11lbs (5.25lbs lost, 5.75lbs to go) Madmuppet 12lbs (4lbs lost, 8lbs to go) *joanne* 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Xianaleigh...

After re-joining my local SW tonight I’mhoping to lose 10lb by Feb 28th, good luck everyone! Chuffy_29 11lbs (0lbs lost, 11lbs to go) Madmuppet 12lbs (0lbs lost, 12lbs to go) *joanne* 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Xianaleigh 10lb (0lb lost, 10lbs to go)

Thanks for confirming, first week was 1/2, after that was 1 1/2 then STS then 3 1/2 this week (just reached my 1 stone award today :)) so that's 5 1/2 in total so far.

I've lost track! Not been able to come on for the last few weeks so not sure what I've submitted and what I haven't think I've had 1 1/2 lb and a STS since I last checked in? WI tonight, need to pull a big number to get back on track!

Hi Arctic, don't know how you're keeping track! Just 1/2lb for me this week :/ was poorly last week though. Only my third week so hoping it's gunna drop off! :) Fingers crossed for everybody else! Keep it up :)

Ooooo I wanna join!!! :) I'd be chuffed if I lost 10lb but it is a challenge after all, stick me on for 12lb please. See if I can get down to 12lb! Got a few occasions on in May though, gunna be tough.

Sounds yummy, have added to my list of recipes to try. Will report back :)

Does anybody know if any of these recipes for hash browns can be frozen? Would be great to batch cook and freeze for future use!

Do the SW quiche recipes above really taste like quiche though? Think I'd have to use cottage cheese, had some bad tasting experiences with quark :giggle:
