I used to be like that with chocolate when I first did slimming world 3 years ago, but now I seem to have gone off chocolate??. My thing now is dried fruit and nuts. I kid myself that they can only be good but not in the quantities I eat!!

So, have now lost half a stone which I am really pleased with but am feeling despondent today. I have been weighing myself everyday over the last week, I know I shouldn't but it was a bit of an experiment to see how my weight fluctuates on a daily basis. I started the week at 11st 6.8lbs, went...

Thank you, I did lose another 2lb but I had a big birthday this weekend to celebrate and getting back on the scales this morning revealed the damage. I have put 2lb back on!! I'm not going to stress over it though, will just get back on track this week and see what the end of the week brings

First week over and I lost 2lb which I am pleased with. I was out on Friday at a late xmas dinner eating and drinking lots. I'm hoping to lose at least 1lb this week but have birthday celebrations at the weekend so we'll see! Good luck to you too

Thank you

Having decided I need to tackle the weight again I have logged in here for inspiration and ideas. I have just got the shock of my life realising that this time last year I was one stone lighter than I am now. I originally lost weight by doing slimming world online in 2012. I lost a stone and a...

I would like to try this soup, which stock cubes do you use? Are oxo veg ones free? Thanks

Well done, I have done the same as you, lost 10lb in 7 weeks. I'm now 10st 11lb. My target for the moment is 10st 7lb by April 3rd when I go on holiday. When I come back I will set a new target based on how much I have put back on in 2 weeks!

Another 1lb down this week so 10st 12lb now. I'm staying in here for the time being though 'cos I have next week off work and a few coffee and cake mornings arranged so I'm thinking I might be putting some back on! I'm not going to stress over it though as I still have plenty of time to lose it...

Somebody told me yesterday that Evening Primrose Oil is good for water retention, haven't heard of that before so might give it a go. I'm not sure how to tell if my feeling bloated is down to water retention though?

Shouting from the rooftops this morning. Have weighed myself a day early again, I'm so impatient! Think I will just move my weigh in day to a Thursday, anyway 3lbs down so am now 10st 13lb. I feel quite bloated a lot the time though, not sure why so was quite surprised to have lost 3lb as...

Does anyone know if Nairns oatcakes can be used as a HexB? If they can how many a day and does it include the cheese oatcakes? Thanks

I was hoping to be almost in the 10's by this weekend but sadly it is not to be. I weigh myself on a Friday morning and although I know I shouldn't weigh myself before that sometimes I can't help it. So, yesterday (Thursday) I weighed 11st 1.6lbs, a 1lb loss from last Friday, so was really...

Thankyou, 2 syns, they're yummy with marmite on!

Does anyone know the syn value please for Nairns cheese oatcakes. I have just tried one at work and they are delicious. I can find the syn value for a plain one (2) but I'm guessing the cheese one will be higher. Thanks

I lost 2.5lbs this week, not sure how as I had a birthday last weekend which involved lots of cake and chocolate over a 3 day period but I was definitely only 11st 2.5lb yesterday morning so well chuffed!

10 weeks till April, I'm finding it harder to lose this time though. It doesn't help that I had a birthday on Friday so was eating cake and chocolates which I had been given as presents (it would be rude not to I thought!). Then a work colleague had a birthday today so had to eat cake again. I...

I'm back after losing a stone and a half in 2012 but have put a stone back on. I have set myself a 9lb target loss by April when I go on holiday to Florida. Once back I will set myself another target dependant on how much I put on in the 2 weeks I'm there! I find looking through this forum gives...

Have seen on another thread 'Beany veggie cottage pie'. Does anyone have a recipe for this please as it sounds good.

Yay, lost 2lb this week, takes me down to 10st 13lb. Does that mean I have to leave here and join the 10's? Trouble is I don't want to get into the 9's, that will never happen. If I can get to 10st 7lb and stay there I'll be happy

Wow that was a quick reply, thankyou

Ok obviously not then so does anyone know why when I update my ticker it doesn't change even though it shows the updated version in my status details?

When I update my ticker does it only change when I post a new thread? Actually posting this thread will give me the answer won't it!

Only 1lb lost in a week, a little disappointed but was out Fri night eating (very late works xmas meal out), then Mothers Day yesterday out for lunch and lots of chocolate from my sons (it would be rude not to eat it!). Must try harder this week

I weighed myself this morning and have lost 2lb since Monday. Why then have I spent the afternoon and evening eating nothing but chocolate?? I felt so good about the loss, why is that not enough to stop me eating all that chocolate, I'm sooooo cross with myself. I won't bother changing my ticker...

I write everything down, it seems to help me to look at what I have eaten, especially with the syns, I shame myself into not eating anymore!

Yay I was really good yesterday, stuck to the plan well and no syns, although I did have both porridge and bread so one of them probably counts as syns. I don't count everything religiously! Long may it continue

Have weighed myself this morning and I am 11st 2lb so a bit better than I thought.

Ok not as bad as I thought. I weighed myself about 10 days ago and I was 11st 4lb, this morning I am 11st 2lb so even with all the syns I've still managed to lose. This has really spurred me on to do it, so watch this space! I'm starting back at work today after 10 weeks of being at home so...

I have been writing down all I have eaten this week and the syns column is horrendous!

I don't have anyone to do it with no, I am going to weigh myself in the morning and put my weight on here then keep a food diary and weigh in each week. I'm hoping by putting my weight on here will give me the motivation to stick with it

Having lost a stone and a half last year on slimming world but now have put back on over half a stone I have been trying to get back on track for the past week, I'm failing miserably. I'm good all day, sticking to the plan but then it all goes wrong in the evening and I end up having far too...

I made Butterbean Butterboom last night and it was absolutely delicious so this is my favourite at the moment. I had it with pasta

Last year I was following Slimming World and ate a lot of a soup which I got got the recipe from on the Slimming World website. I have mislaid this recipe and although I remember most of what went in I would like to print off a copy again, but I can't find it anywhere. It was onion, peppers...

I made this last night which you could use your root vegetables for. It was delicious. Also if you go onto the slimming world website and type in an ingredient it will bring up recipes. There is a spicy root vegetable soup I saw on there also Butterbean butterboom - Recipes - Slimming World

Losing weight made me feel much happier. I lost a stone and a half last year and when I went on holiday in August I was the happiest I had been on holiday for quite a few years. On previous holidays I hadn't wanted any photos taken of me but last year I was always thrusting the camera at my...

I have 3 cats Polly, Beanie and Whisper, 3 guinea pigs Tillie, Chester and Sylvester, a 60 year old tortoise called Freda and a couple of goldfish

Last year I lost a stone and a half on slimming world. I signed up online for 3 months and by the second month had reached my target. Over the next couple of months I put back on a couple of pounds but was still very happy with my weight. Just before Christmas I was put out of action with a...

We went in 2010, the year of the volcano. We got stuck over there for an extra week and did all the theme parks again as our tickets were still valid, but when we got home we discovered that all the theme parks were allowing people who were stuck free entry so we could have done the parks we...

She's quite big and eats loads once she gets going. The weather isn't great for her at the moment as when it's cold she slows right down, but when it's hot there's no stopping her. She lives outside from March to Sept/Oct then gets packed away in a box in the garage for 5/6 months. I would put a...

When my son was 2 (he's now 14) he took my hand and led me to a full length mirror in our bedroom. He was looking in the mirror, staring really intently, saying "there's man". It freaked me a little but I soon forgot about it. A couple of years later I was childminding my neighbours son, he was...

3 cats, Polly, Beanie and Whisper 4 guinea pigs, Truffle, Zebedee, Tilly and Splash A 60 year old tortoise, Freda 3 goldfish

Thankyou

Does anyone know why when I post EDIT MY SIGNATURE shows up?

Yay, have now got down to 11 stone so that's a whole stone lost. I was so chuffed I took a cake into work to celebrate!!

Hi, I am new to this site and I have just posted in the 12 to 11 thread but think I should be in here! I am currently 11st 1lb having lost 13lb in 4 weeks which I am so pleased with. It has been alot easier than I expected. So I'll hang around here if that's ok and hopefully reach my target of...

Hi, I have just joined this site and am currently 11st 1lb having lost 13lb is 4 weeks which I am chuffed to bits with. I have found it far easier than I expected to but now the weight loss will probably slow down and that's when I will find it hard to resist temptation. My worst time is the...
