How come you stopped with the weight training? I'm doing weight training 3 times a week (mon/weds/fri) so have the weekends off and have found it has really helped in getting past stubborn plateaus :). I don't do cardio at all anymore and find that the 3 hours per week is enough to keep the...

How'd the gym go?

That website is good for planning runs aswell etc. Just a little family vacation here in sunny scotland :), was nice to get away and the weather was kind to us x

Kim i think there is a website called mapmyrun which you can use to measure how far it was if you really want to know :)

Well done on the maintenance :) i reckon as long as it's just under the 9 then you're good. Congratulations on the house, exciting times ahead what with the bridemaid dress shopping aswell... awesome timing to help keep you motivated x

Don't suppose you have access to a scanner? you could print it, sign it, scan it then send it! I assume if they accept email applications then maybe the signing of it isn't too important at this stage!

No big words of wisdom i'm afraid but if you can manage out for a walk it will make you feel better x. I find that if i write down a plan then it makes me feel better, factor in treats for your syns at particular low points to your day so coffee and biscuit after your diner at night! Half a...

Hmm, i'd say a little of something naughty wont do any harm :). If you plan for it and stick to your plan then you'll feel in control and feel good the next day also setting you up for a good week x

Afternoon ladies, 1lb off for me this week :).

If you shop around you should be able to get a better price for an early scan, i know i found a reputable place in scotland that do it for 25quid.

When i say i waited 'til 8wks i mean i actually went for the private scan when i was 8wks :) It's only the money you are going to save on alcohol over the next 9 months lol x

mmmm chips :). I booked a private scan at about 8wks but i'm sooo impatient :). x

It's definitely all about finding something you'll enjoy doing! Even though i felt the better of it, i used to hate the thought of going for a run which is probably why i gave it up. I wasn't particularly good at it either lol

That way you could set your timer at the beginning of your run and just see how long it took you to complete with the aim of getting quicker over all so quicker sprint between lamposts or extending the number of lamposts you run past compared to the ones you walk between :). I used to do a lot...

If you don' have a stop watch with alarm for your running then you could alway use lamposts as your marker :).. run 3 lamposts, walk one etc.

when i was pregnant the second time i tried to break the weight gain into the 3 trimesters so i could keep better track of it! However, i think i put about 3 stone over all!! He is now 7months though and it's all back off and some more so i'd say try not to worry about it too much just don't go...

Congrats Nikki, brilliant news.. so happy for you x

sounds like maintaining is almost harder than losing atm! I guess it's all trial and error at the moment.. i'll be stalking :) x

I hate hassle like that too donna, can't be bothered with the hassle of packaging the stuff back up and getting to the post office!! hopefully it wont be too much of a problem :) x

how'd the yogalates go?

2lb off for me this week yeah :) how did the body attack go vic? i haven;t tried that!!

brilliant loss, well done chick x

I have two little ones Deb(both under 2) and know exactly what you mean... when theyre up and about they take up your time but when the are napping/asleep for the night you just want to sit down and after all you deserve the chocolate/wine/crisps (whatever) after the day you've had right!?! I...

woohoo, well done :) x

well done nikki, great determintation there :) 1lb off for me this week :) slowly but surely!

you should check out girls gone strong, Fierce. Fit. Fearless, million dollar baby fitness, fitness motivation for ordinary people and also ironfit and fitness and power :) gives me a steady stream of motivational inspiration :) x

well done on the weight loss nikki, that's fab :) well done on the drinking aswell.. no mean feat ;) x I must admit, the week i lost the 3lbs i reckon it was down to stopping drinking.. granted i've fallen back of the wagon with that one. Maybe it's worth continuing with voluntary work donna...

I started my classes on my own.. big brave me as it was the first time in all my life i had been to an exercise class!!! I'm really not that sociable lol. I really enjoy kettlecise, body pump and body combat :) and like others have said most girls start on their own, hardly anyone speaks to one...

hows your face claire? has the swelling gone down any? is it permanently swollen or does it tend to be worse perhaps in the morning then go down as the day goes on?

Hi Ladies, Hope you are all well, i've been on holiday for a few weeks but am back again :). Still following SW principles but upping my exercise as well as my protein intake.. trying to build myself some muscle as i believe all this long term dieting has done more harm than good with muscle...

Oh dear, 1lb up this week :( never mind onwards and downwards ay girls :) x

I think there might be something in this exercise malarky after all :), 3lbs off for me this week woohoo.

I think the only true measuring body fat is the calipers isn't it? I think the ones you stand on can vary loads depending on how much fluid you have and a number of other factors as well so not that reliable! My home scales have a body fat measuring thingy on them but i think it basically takes...

well done to the losers :), those who gained.. put it behind you it will be off again next week x 1lb off for me this week... lordy it's a slow process!

Morning ladies, been a bit awol of late so i hope you are all well x Anyways, the gym has been going really well.. been going 3 days a week (2 kettlebells and a body pump)... kettlebells are amazing :) body pump is hard work with my lack of upper body strength... if only i could master just one...

No, just the 3.5lb lol but that's since joining the challenge which was maybe around 4 or 5wks ago.. can't remember now lol but I know i've not been on it the whole 11wks. Since starting SW it's been 10.5lbs... my losses are all in my sig :). you all finished with the xbox now?

Morning ladies, hope you are all well? 2lb off for me this week following my 2.5lb gain last week lol.. going in the right direction at least. Although i've decided that i'm not going to get the figure i want simply by dieting, toning is really what i need so trying to concentrate more on my...

Mmmmm mushy pea curry... i'm fussy but can vouch for this one ;) x

I think you could stay with the 5kg for the arm but move up weights for the rest of the work out? I see tesco also has the 7.5kg too. I have very little experience of the kettle workouts though so hopefully someone will come along with better advice than me. I look a lot a myomytv dot com. have...

Put on 3.5lbs the week before lol :).. if you look over the duration i have lost 9lbs which averages at less than 1lb per week so i don't have any magic formula i'm afraid. Although i think the week i lost the 6.5lb i have nothing but superspeed soup due to having my braces tightened lol. Food...

hi Debs.. i feel the same as you about going to a class which has always put me off going. However i think a class would probably have been good for me down to my competitive nature so you might find the same if you go? I was kinda hoping that doing a weekly WI on here was bring out my...

when i put weight on i always expect i'll lose it the next week, don't let it dishearten you donna.. you're right it will just be water retention with the warmer weather :) x

lol, took me about 6 days to recover from my first kettle bell work out... i figure it was worth it because i like to think that all that time my body was repairing the muscle, speeding up my metabolism and burning fat in the process :) dunno if any of that is true mind you but it helps me...

i think there is free joining vouvher in this weeks bella magazine!

the reason i've been doing red days is down to my lack of superfree!!! It's something i'll keep in mind if i come to a total standstill at WIs. Although i suspect that the introduction of some exercise classes may have affect my weight loss.... I'm still aching from the kettlebell class, can...

I've had more off day plans than i'd like to admit to hence the lack of updates from me! This week i sts but i'm gonna blame that on my kettlebell class yesterday which has me aching all over today because of course it can't be down to the fact that i haven't stuck to the plan. I quite like...

well done Kim, fab loss x

Only if the wine will result in eating things you know you shouldn't ;) x

Thanks Kim :), loving the look of the week 9 at 9st 8lb... giving me much needed motivation to stick at it this week Wednesday for me was off plan :(... gonna be 100% today though x

Gosh, you must all be totally exhausted Kim, well done to you all x

adding the superfree is a bit of a hassle for me right now... going through a lazy, can't be 4rsed phase lol x

hmm, that's interesting.. i didn't realise you were meant to have 1/3rd superfree when on red or green days which means that technically i've been off plan when i've been doing my red days. I thought superfree was just part of the EE stuff but you live and learn and certainly something i'll keep...

well, i'm holding on... just!! had a cadbury fudge! I think this is all down to the fact that on my daily weigh in (bad me) i was up 1.5lbs and i'm thinking that i'm bound to gain this week given the introduction to the gym again!!! It's such hard work sometimes. Well done on the loss this...

Looking for some words of encouragement here... i can feel myself about to eat many things i shouldn't :(... struggling today x

Don't worry kim, i don't plan on over doing it lol! 30 mins of light exercise gently building up the intensity... want to get my fitness levels up a bit then plan on introduce more toning exercises. I do have exercise dvds, have th davina one and a yoga one too i think!! i see L1 of 30day shred...

Hi ladies, been away for a few days but planning to get back on 100% again! I'm with you on the "no alcohol for a fortnight" challenge nikki :), i was doing really well last week until friday where i over indulged then did the same again last night!! Terrible news about your nana donna, i hope...

After having a mixed week last week due to being away, this week i'm going for 100% which means no alcohol for me! Whilst the alcohol doesn't exactly have a load of calories in it, it's the eating that normally goes with a few drinks!!! 24/06/2012 Sunday Red Day Breakfast - large bowl of...

Saturday 23/06/2012 Breakfast - Wholemeal roll with ham! (HEB) Lunch - packet of ham cuppa tea (HEA) Dinner - 1/2 chicken dansak (indian takeaway :-0) Again too many drinks!!

Friday 22/06/2012 Breakfast - whole meal roll with bacon + cuppa tea (HEB) Lunch - latte (HEA) Dinner - chicken rice and veg (at restaurant so no idea how many syns as there was a sweet bbq type of sauce all over) Plus way too much alcohol.. too many syns to count lol

Thursday Lunch - large bowl of strawberrys and blueberries. Dinner - chicken and veg skewers marinated in chilli sauce with vegetable boiled rice.

no omelette for me today... large bowl of strawbs and blueberries.. sprinkle of splenda and fat free yog, not forgetting my cuppa tea.

Plus my biggest downfall is wine!! so at the moment my challenge is to stick to plan 100% with no alcohol... think adding exercise into the mix right now might be the breaking of me lol... one step at a time :) x

fab loss karen.. well done x

think i'll give it a whirl :) thank you x

Thanks kim, I know you are absolutely right. it's a psychological thing at the moment for me, as long as i see the number on the scales coming down it motivates me to keep going. I know that if i started toning now i would get a head start on seeing some tone as i lose the fat and that my...

For those that have tried this for a week.. how much did you lose?

Is it nice?

it does work out better in the long run though as the extra muscle will burn off more calories :) x

ok, a daft question but what is in the chicken in blackbean sauce... onions/peppers/peas? never tried that before! i'm normally a chicken curry gal

wow, that looks like the real deal :)

I have always found that starting exercise has a negative effect on my weight hence the reason i'm holding off just now. However, once i get down to target i intend to try and put the scales away, exercise/tone up and concentrate more on my measurements. Have you thought about measuring your...

whatever works ay :) x

Wednesday 20/06/2011 Red Day Breakfast - large bowl of strawbs and blueberries with 0% fat yog Lunch - Salmon and veg Dinner - chip shop fish with batter removed a few chips and I mean just a few and a glass of wine

congrats on another fab weightloss :) x. I think ideally i would like to get a few pounds below my target just to give me a little lee (sp?) way each week. I think there must be some secret weight loss ingredients in frey bentos meatballs lol ;) x

Folks, do most of you do EE, Red or Green days? just wondering what the general consensos is on what you get the best results with?

WI yesterday - 9st11lb (-6.5lbs) Have been pretty much following the above for the past 4 weeks!! Extra Easy Tuesday 19/06/2012 Breakfast - mushroom and cheese omelette & cup of tea (2syns) Lunch - large bowl of strawbs and blueberries spinkled with splenda with 0% fat yog. Dinner - Salmon...

No hols for me either this year so you're not alone!

lol @ doing a runner. Hmm, thought you could buy anything on ebay aswell but there you go.. learned something new today :). Probably cheaper just going to the class for the books anyways x

I'm sure a lot of ppl do this. Can't you buy the books on ebay?

I am exactly the same as this! i'm really bad at being on the scales morning and night!! I find i don't generally get disheartened more spurred on by what i do or don't see x

i've have a dodgy week this week as i'm away for a few days but next week i might take a week of your and follow it.. i'll let you know x

you could have any of the robinsons sugar free squashes with soda water, some ice and a slice at least it will look the part. I have always found alcohol free beer pretty rank to be honest ( i tried a lot when i was pregnant lol) x

didn't do very well today... yet another omelette lol :sign0137:

soda water and lime cordial.. i'm sure the cordial may be synd but not sure how many! good luck x

I don't think it's helped me in the past to be honest, when i was doing a lot of long distance running pre-baby days i was probably sitting around the 10stone mark... i used to reward my run with food lol so a bit counter productive

Yeah, that's what i'm afraid off... sts or weight gain at the moment as i'm worried it will put me off my stride if you see what i mean. i've only been following sw diet for 5weeks although have been naturally losing since march following the birth of my baby. I need to tone up my baby belly too...

glad to have found this thread as i'm sick to death of my daily breakfast omelette lol x

good thinking... i'll away for a look x

Hi Tuesday, just to let you know i'm stalking your diary lol, well done on your amazing weight loss... you look fab x

Hi Donna, well done on your weigh loss... a quick question for you... do you find you are basically eating the same in a day now you are maintaining as you did when you were still losing? You have a good diary here i'm tempted to follow what you have to see if it works for me :).

Hi Folks, made it into the 9's today at 9st11lb so hopefully can stay here for the duration! I'm not exactly heading for the 8's but have set a target of 9stone which i can hopefully do in the next 3 months or so. Do you all find that exercise helps with weight loss? I want to seriously tone up...

I'd rather have my alpen bars for HEB as opposed to bread and anyways i don't really like wholemeal anyways and wouldn't use syns for white as one slice is never enough so nope i don't eat bread when i'm being "good".

I definitely need a new breakfast idea... omeletes are starting to turn my stomach lol as is bacon eggs and mushrooms lol. Cereal seems such a waste of HE's though... hmm it'sa tough one as fruit doesn't really keep megoing either!!

Woohoo, 9st11lbs today :) think i'll be sticking around for a couple of weeks though to make sure this isn't a blip :) x

after a disasterous week last week with a 3 and a 1/2lb gain :eek: this week i have a 6 and 3/4lb loss this week:clap:. good luck to all you ladies this week.

naughty me, had a weekend away and am 3 and a 1/2 lbs up :(.

1 and a half pounds off this week for me.. slow and steady!

2lbs off for me this morning :)

lemon juice experiment :) Following the thread http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/276561-not-sure-if-its-helped-but-thought-id-share.html which talks about how the juice of lemons have improved one members weight loss I had a bit of a google to see if there is any science behind it and...

Morning all, hope you don't mind me joining in here :). This is my first week and i managed to lose 2lbs yeah.. just hope it continues at 2lbs a week. good luck to everyone else x

Hi All, I have always sworn by SW but have tired somewhat of red and green days so giving the extra easy plan a try!! It's taking a little time to get my head round it but i think i know what i'm doing!! lol.. i hope you will put me right if not though. Starting SW Weigh = 10st5lbs Target =...

hello Hi Ladies, i'm new to the site but so far loving all the fab tips and inspirational stories. I had my second baby in January, i gained just over 2stone in the pregnancy from around 9st 10lb to 12st, then dropped to 11st7lbs after the birth :rolleyes:. Anyways, 9wks later i am now...
