Hi thinking of giving WW a go especially as it's on offer at the mo . I am going on holiday this Saturday for 2 weeks but it's still going to be worth the saving even if I don't loose any weight while away ! I'm AI and usually gain a few pounds . Anyway been SW member for many years lost and...

Hi can I change my weigh in day to Friday instead of Monday thank you ? Xx

Hi I do EE when I'm being good . I'm lucky as ill eat pretty much any thing I do think I lose weight better eating less carbs but that's just me . I just do lots from scratch and avoid processed foods as much as possible . I love roast dinners the most with lots of veggies . Also all the usual...

Hi Thank yes you can get them from most newsagents and supermarkets I get mine from Asda . X

First day on Slimming World going shopping later to get some bits . Weighed in at 11.9.4 my idea weight is around 10.10 so about 14lbs to get there which I managed back in 2014 stayed there around a year then had an accident that meant I was immobile for quite a while . Managed to loose around...

Hi Basically been a SW member on and off for many years . Re-joined earlier this year and have been going no where fast 1/2 lb in 7 weeks so threw in the towel ! I had been on plan my problem was I think I was eating for the sake of it the " free food " myth . Basically over indulging . Anyway...

Hi I'm joining been in the 11s far too long ! 11.8.5 wanting to get to 10.7 :) . I'm also a slow looser 1/2 in last 8 weeks shocking ! Wish I knew the secret of loosing faster I have also been 100% on plan & not seen the results which I should see . Must admit I did get frustrated with some...

Hi you're doing amazing ! I do have a question just wondering what you eat in a typical day ? I've been following SW for quite a while now and I've never lost more than 3 lbs in a week would like to speed things up a bit . I only have about a stone to go but over the last 8 weeks only managed...

You're right lickthelid . I've decided I'm going to stick with SW but as you said watch portion control . My problem is I listen to what others are doing and when I try it it doesn't work . I've never been able to eat lots even healthy foods and get a good weight loss . Thanks for the advice I...

Hi ill try and keep this brief .... I have been a Slimming World member for over 20 years and reached my target in the Summer of 2014 ( if I'm totally honest I started off following SW then switched to calorie counting to get to target ) which I maintained for 1 year . Last Summer I had an...

Hi it's very quiet on here and the other threads I'm following which is a shame as it use to be very busy and helped me get to my target . I hope more people join or 're join as this is such a good forum. On the weight loss side I've lost 1.5 lbs over the last 11days a bit slow but it is going...

Hi well done Rod I'm back on here after regaining some not all of the weight I lost due to an accident and not walking for a while . Luckily I'm slowly walking again but not doing much exercise . I've got about 21 lbs to loose trying sw but after my first week stayed the same . I'm doing it...

Hi my first weigh in and I've stayed the same no movement at all still 12.3 ! It is totm so could have something to do with it . Disappointed as not eaten any junk food filled up on lots of fruit and veg plus only one glass of wine all week . Just going to keep with it see what next week brings . X

Hi all joining here at 12.3 hope to move down into next stone bracket within a couple of weeks . Need to get back in the 10s really so have a way to go ! X

Hi here goes weighed in at 12.3 this morning . My target is 10.7 I'm giving myself 6 months to get there which means ill be back to where I was before my injury 6 months ago . I'm going it alone mainly following SW but am a vegetarian from the beginning of this year so will be filling up on...

Hi I came back on for the same reason Denise . I've been having a look at different threads although I'm not in this weight range I was last time I was on here but holidays an injury which means I've only just started to walk I have gained a lot of weight back ! My goal is to be back here by the...

Hi I'm in will be weighing in Monday but just wanted to put my name down will update weight and what I want to get to . I'm going it alone as due to an injury am unable to walk much or drive just yet . Good luck x

Hi firstly it's great to see this site is back . I've been a member for a few years . I have done well over the last few years but had an accident in July which meant I couldn't walk so no exercise eating more than I should feeling low . I can now walk but only very slowly so won't be doing a...

Have done slim fast on and off in the past thinking of trying it again as can't seem to get focused on any particular diet so thought that Slim Fast may be good to get me back on track as it's pretty easy to follow . I know it won't be easy but after the first few days and once I'm back on track...

Just checking in as not been on here for a while ! Well I'm basically the same but after an over indulgent Easter plus my son's birthday celebrations things could of been a lot worse. We have now booked a holiday for early July so have a goal to go for . I've not been to group for a while as I'm...

Hi all not been on for weeks as I've basically been pretty unmotivated :( Not gained a lot weight wise but can definitely feel the difference ! So have decided fresh start from today I'm still going for 14lbs from now so have now basically lost nothing ! So can someone update that for me please...

Hi I'm back to fasting today after too long a break . I've also done all the diets many times only to regain what I'd lost plus more . Did Calorie Counting last year and added some fast days and got to my first target in July . I have maintained my weight give or take a few lbs for the first...

Maybe try something different for a while if you feel you need support then keep going to group . I know lots of people that don't follow the "plan " 100% and still attend and still lose weight . Good luck I'd recommend calorie counting if only for one week what have you got to loose ! :) x

Hi think I'll be popping by more often this month as need motivating ! Started afresh from today doing what has worked in the past calorie counting plus fasting . Today is my first fast day in ages and I'm doing fine had soup for lunch drinking lots of water got 400 calls left for later lots...

Hi kikicat From my own experience and everyone is different it didn't work as well as I wanted :( Having said that it was good to get me to stop eating so much rubbish and you really don't need to go hungry . I got to target last year by starting off with SW then swapped to Calorie Counting as...

Thanks upndown and yes lets have a good month if I can do a lb a week I'll be happy fed up with gaining and loosing the same 5lbs ! x

Hi still here here only just thought ! Got to 10.10 before Christmas since then plus not a good January up to 10.13.5 did slip up into the 11s for a while ! I'm back CC on mfp for now which is how I lost most of my weight last year plus exercising . I did try SW for a few weeks but I can't seem...

Hi January has not been a good month for me so only 1/2 lb down :( . I am still below my sw target but not where I want to be I've also decided to rest my challenge goal ( for now ) to 14 lbs instead of 21 lbs so would really appreciate someone updating that for me thanks . Here's hoping...

Thanks upndown just didn't want you to think I'd deserted you all :) I will be popping by to see how everyone's doing give me some motivation when the going gets tough ! X

Hi just a quick question would it be ok to log / update my weight on a monthly basis ? To be honest don't have a lot of weight to loose this year so thought I'd prefer to update once a month . If this is ok will update the last Friday of each month .Thanks best of luck everyone xx

Hi can someone add me please like to loose 21 lbs weigh in day is Friday thanks :) x

Hi all I'm in did well on last years challenge but to be honest have stayed around the same weight since July . Really want to get going and get to where I want so aiming for 21lbs a bit of a challenge but I'm going to give it ago and try my best . Good luck and Happy slimmer 2015 :) x

Thanks upndown it's pretty quiet on here but I haven't been on much myself lately . I decided to stick to SW plan for a week to see how it goes to be honest not been on plan for a long time as wasn't getting the results so did CC plus upped my exercise and that's how I lost most of my weight so...

Hi All been struggling to loose any weight lately :( I am happy that I've managed to maintain around my official target weight but really wanted to get to my 3 stones award which is only 6 lbs away ! Since July Ive just to be battling with the same few lbs . I'm thinking do I give myself a break...

Hi every one (waves) not been on here for quite a while . I got to my first target back in July and considering I've had holidays birthdays weekend aways plus my silver wedding anniversary I'm still in my target range :) but would love to get to my final target which is only 5lbs away . So hope...

Stay positive we all have times when we feel like this think it's part of our "journeys " . Like you said we learn to overcome this challenging days and things will become easier :) . This is what I've learned this year with my weight loss and as long as you keep at it you will get to where you...

Had much better day yesterday and going to stick on plan today hope everyone has a good weekend :) x

Had a complete blow out yesterday and now I feel ill ! Think is was because I had quite a lot of cheese now I've got a bad head and feel sick ! I won't be doing that again and to be honest didn't really enjoy it just ate for the sake of it . In future think I'd rather have some thing I'm going...

Hi a couple of weeks ago I posted a thread last attempt at Slimming World and I'm so glad I did as I had a bit of a reality check as other MM members made me realise I needed to give it a chance and stop swapping from sw to CC constantly. Well two weeks in and I'm 3lbs lighter feel much more...

Hi lost 2.5 so I'm now 11.11 not been this weight for a long time so that takes me to 22.5 lbs so far . I've just realised that in 6 months time 12.12.14 its going to be my 50th Birthday !! So only 6 months left in my 40s . That's one of my reasons for trying to loose weight so I can be fitter...

Lost 2 1/2 so now 11.11 so pleased to be going in the right direction :) Good luck everyone x

Hi can someone update me please -20 lbs thanks x

Good luck I'm sure you'll be fine looks like you know what you're doing:)

Hi just wanted to do an update . I had a good think about what others had said and they were so right jumping from sw - cc constantly wasn't doing me any favours at all and I have been doing this for longer than I can remember . I know why cause I'm inpatient and just want to get the weight off...

Hi joining this group as lost 1/2 lb so I'm 11.13.5 (so only just made it ) ;) seems to be some amazing weight loss going on well done . Don't know how long I'll be here how ever long it takes as long as I'm going in the right direction ! X

And beliver77 6lb loss is awesome ! x

Well done I know how hard it can be to maintain or gain so to turn it around and loose 3 lbs is amazing :) fantastic work x

You're so right I'm inpatient . I totally agree with all that you've said hit the nail on the head ! I've started my food diary to make sure I'm following SW properly and yes maybe I should be happy with any loss I get :) thanks x

Your right SW did work just too many carbs doesn't seem to do me any favours so will adapt it to work better for me and see what happens over the next month .

That's what I'm doing much more red and if I do ee won't have many carbs x

Have decided today that this will be my last attempt with SW . Here's a brief history long story short ... joined 20+ years ago got to target pretty quick bearing in mind not much to loose 2stone plus age was on my side . Over the last 20 years I have been on and off the SW wagon and tried a few...

I stayed the same this week could have been much worse ! I had a day off yesterday and ate lots of junk back on it today as I feel pretty rubbish junk food is just what it says JUNK !! Have a good weekend x

Hi sts this week so still 19.5 lbs for me ! Having a day off plan today as I'm right fed up with it at the moment :( have decided to get back on the Wagon from tomorrow and turn this around for next Thursday :) Lots of member's at my group go off plan for days and still loose weight fingers...

Hi everyone sts for me so still 12.0 told you I wouldn't do it this week ! But am determined to loose at least 1lb by next Thursday I CAN DO THIS !!! Positive thinking Lol good luck x

Not sure if SW suits everyone as everyone's different wish I could do better on it as although I do well CC having said that its slowing down don't think I'm eating enough ! Plus not having to log all that you eat which can be done on SW as really only need to log hexs and syns . I'm a bit fed...

Just been on mfp plus also did Harris Benedict Equation and on mfp says to loose 1.5 lbs per week I should be having 1440 calls per day and on H-B-E it says 1585 per day . So have decided to go for somewhere in between at 1500 cals and see how it goes . Hope to get the 1.5 lb per week I would be...

Hi TracyGWill I do some times or I may have half of them . Was thinking of going up to 1400 does this sound ok ? Thanks x

Hi everyone just wondering if I should be eating more cals ? I'm on 1200 per day not sure if this is too low but also worried as if I up my cals will my losses slow down although only lost 1/2 last week so can't get much slower ! I am and have been exercising for the last 3 months I run 5 miles...

Thanks newme763 maybe ill give this ago if I want a boost :) it doesn't look like a lot so like you a week would be all I could manage ! X

Can't wait really close but it's sods law ill gain this week . Well done you good Luck in the 11s x

Hope you don't mind me asking but how many cals were you having ? Thanks x

Help I'm getting fed up of dieting and want chocolate and lots of it !!

How is everyone after bank holiday weekend ? Seems pretty quiet on here and to be honest seems pretty quiet on all the threads I follow . Has everyone lost all their weight .... or have we all had enough of "diets" ! I know I'm getting a bit fed up but that's me I have good days and bad but I am...

I also do better calorie counting feel like it's much easier for me don't know why but I don't feel like I'm on a "diet " I eat pretty much what I like but smaller portions . On SW I would eat for the sake of it plus ate lots of foods I didn't really enjoy just because they were " free" crazy ...

Wow that's impressive well done would love to lose that amount in one week :) x

It has improved since I cut down the carbs and not too much fruit . I am still bloated just not so bad I use to have really bad IBS and really improved while CC so think I may be better off sticking with CC or adapting SW a bit as don't want my IBS to get worse . Thanks for replies x

Yeah think ill give that a go that's for advice having chicken and veg for my evening meal

I made quite a bit of pasta and wanted to use it up . I thought I'd try SW for a week for a bit of a change plus people seem to be loosing well on it a d got a bit fed up counting everything I ate as that's not the case with SW . I've decided to stick with it for one week cut down on pasta and...

Hi I am eating more pasta but I have lots of speed food with it I also drinks lots of water ( sparkling ) I've been exercising since I started so really shouldn't make a difference . It's in the mornings when I wake up I'm really hungry strange :/

I'm bloated and really hungry I'll be going back to calorie counting if it doesn't improve as didn't feel like this !

Hi has anyone else noticed they are more bloated while following SW ? I 're joined in Jan and was doing ok weight loss a bit slow so to be honest did more calorie counting and I've been doing well anyway decided I'd really like to follow the SW plan again and have been 100% the last couple of...

Don't know what WI will bring Thursday as I lost 3lbs last week which is a first for me so I'm feeling a bit nervous that I'll have a gain ! Think I'll try the...

Thanks for the advice and like many of you always come back to SW :) I'm really going to get myself sorted do some research get my books out and give some time to this as I always put everyone else first and have no energy or time for me :( I really want SW to work as it fits in with the rest of...

One quick question as I'm new to this how long should you hola hoop for ?

Ill let you know how it goes it is quite big I'll need lots of space :) !

Hi everyone I'm after some advice. I been going to Slimming World since January and stuck to the plan but found the weight loss a bit slow so decided to try Calorie Counting instead and to be honest have lost weight quicker . But I'm now thinking of giving the SW plan a try again my only problem...

Hi bought a Hola hoop today and a twist board thing plus I've got some kettle bells so will be working out with these later :)

Hi wondered if any of you lovely people could advise me about toning up my sagging body :) ! I have lost a stone with 2 to go, while trying on some new smaller clothes I really noticed how flabby I am . I have started jogging about 8 weeks ago so I am doing some exercise . Do you think I can...

Lost 1.5 lbs so now 12.5 :) pleased as I'm a stone lighter since Christmas ! Happy Easter everyone x

Lost 1&1/2 lb and got my stone award :) . It's been slower than I'd like but time flies its taken me 15 weeks to loose 14 lbs . I'm going away mid August 16 weeks away so if I keep up what I'm doing should be 2 stones lighter by then ( fingers crossed) hope everyone is good and wishing a Happy...

Lost a lb so halfway through the 12s now 12.7 slowly working my way down to the 11s :)

Hi lost a lb so that's 12.5 now . could someone update me on the list please ? Thank you :) Well done everyone is doing well x

I agree with you sometimes don't know what I want even if I have loads of sw friendly food around and end up eating food I don't really want ! Not feeling too well at the moment totm and I've got a cold don't know what wi will be this week after staying the same Thursday . Hope I feel better...

Thanks LydaAnn and well done on your weight loss . Just got to keep going x

Hi everyone just wanted to update my weight loss . I restarted sw in January and so far have lost 11 and 1/2 lb but joined this challenge a bit later and can't remember what I'd lost up until then so could someone please update me I still want to go for the 42 lbs by the end of this year thank you x

Thanks for the advice have decided to stay at group for now as I also said I'd stick it out this time just remembered so thanks steph1212 for jogging my memory ! I've stopped and started so many times will see how I feel in a months time may also take a holiday and try on my own sounds like a...

Has anyone switched from group to "dieting " at home and been successful ? I go it group but sometimes I feel a bit pressured and although this can be good and I have lost weight I sometimes feel I need a break as I feel there a weight / pressure above me ! Hope I don't sound too much of a mad...

I have been so focused and on plan until today ... I know it's Mothers day but I've really gone over board and have eaten everything in sight and now feel bloated and sick :( I'm really disappointed with myself don't want to go back to my old habits ! I've been doing CC and was thinking of...

1off for me this week making me 12.8 really pleased slowly getting there :) x

Hi everyone just to update I lost a pound so I'm slowly getting there very pleased as I was away the weekend and to have lost weight is great :) well done everyone x

Me too it's the same 21lbs for me I'm also CC as it works best for me attempted SW many many times but never get very far before losing faith and don't know where to go so ends up one big merry go round . I really am trying my best this year to stop the yo yo dieting ! Good luck we can do this x

Good luck systema with CC don't think SW works for everyone it hasn't for me and I've been a member for 20+ years on and off ! I wish it would though as sometimes counting everything you eat can get a bit much which on SW you don't really need to do that especially once you know what you're...

My evening group isn't too bad I went to earlier one a couple of weeks ago it was horrendous very busy massive group and lots of children not that I'm anti kids got 3 of my own been there done it and got the t-shirt :) Didnt like weigh in system not that people can see your weight but the way...

That sounds like a really good idea may give that a try myself and totally agree with the ss food I always struggle with that . I away the weekend and have decided to have a mini break from diets but will be good from Monday sometimes I think your body needs a break then you're ready to start...

Hi pixie-gem how you getting on ? As for myself to be totally honest although I'm doing well on CC I have noticed I've been getting headaches recently plus getting spots ( at nearly 50 ) so got me thinking maybe I'm not eating enough as I've also been more tired :( I'm not sure if CC is the...

Lost 1 and 1/2 lbs so now 12.9 slowly getting there would love to be in the 11s by beginning of June :) I'm away this weekend so hopefully won't do too much damage ! Good luck everyone x

Went to group and lost 1and 1/2 lbs that's what I get for weighing to early on my own scales wish I didn't do it but can't help myself :) could someone update me please ? Thank you wishing everyone a good week x

Just got back from my group and really enjoyed it this week so glad I'm sticking with it and as ppl said motivates you for the week ahead :) x

Me too pain in the bum not happy :( official weigh in tonight but I'm always heavier on an evening so would like some extra luck for next week xx

Hello Rachel was wondering how many calories are you having each day to loose 20lbs which is amazing by the way . I've been CC for 4 weeks and have lost 5 and a 1/2 lbs which I am really happy with as I was on sw but was painfully slow took me 7 weeks to loose 4and a 1/2 lb ! I'm surprised that...

Hi just wondering if many people stay to image therapy and if so how do you find it ? I personally stay more often than not as I have meet some nice people but that's more of a social thing :) I'm just curious to see if sw groups are basically run the same wherever you go ? As for myself I find...

No loss for me this week sts will do better this week :) Good luck x

I sts this week Thursday so still 12.10.5 hope to get a loss this week as I'm away this coming weekend b and b plus evening meal so don't think ill loose the following week just don't want to end up going backwards !

Hi pixie-gem I switch from sw to CC on sw lost 4 1/2 lbs in 7 weeks and 4 1/2 lbs on CC in two weeks ! CC works better for me so sticking with it Good luck x

Sorry for mis spelling I'm in a rush again !

Stayed the same this which I'm fine with as I was away last weekend going for a loss this week as I away again next weekend I never go away then I'm away twice in the same month (like busses ) haha have a good week everyone x

Stayed the same so no loss for me this week . I was away the weekend so happy I've maintained in the past I would of gained 1/2 stone ! Hope I get a loss at next weigh in (Thursday ) as I'm away next weekend and its B and B plus evening meal and I like to get my monies worth :) so will prepare...

Thanks mishelly77 Good luck for Thursday you can do it :) know what you mean about the wine ;) x

Hi not been on this thread for a while I'm getting there 2 off this week so now 12 10.5 . Good luck everyone x

Hi KMD well done you :) I weigh on Thursday's keep up the good work xx

Hi lost 2lbs this week (Thursday wi) :) could someone update me on the list please ? Thanks hope you all have a good week x

Lost 2lbs this week (Thursday) much better result than SW . I'm sticking with my allowance 1500 per day but I went away the weekend so lowered it Thursday/ Friday around 1000 . Was going to do 5.2 but was too hungry and was Totm . I enjoyed my weekend didn't count calories I use mfp and had no...

Well done you fantastic :) x

Some are bigger but not all but get your point . I really wish I could do this on my own but have tried and failed too many times in the past I need discipline . sometimes I do get a bit bored with group it's all very repetitive but I've been a member for years so guess it will be going over the...

..... Right I have a moan today so here goes I have been a SW member for many years off and on and when I'm on plan I have to be 100% to get a small loss I never lose more than 1- 1 1/2 I've accepted this is how it works for me . But the thing that is really annoying me is there are quite a few...

Hi KMD I do the 5.2 fast now and again my plan was to do today as going away for weekend . TOTM is hovering around at the moment so instead of having the 500 calls have had 1000 feeling hungry today hopefully ill try again Friday before going away Saturday ! Good luck with it x

Forgot to say I'm away this weekend so doing some fast days tomorrow and Friday ! I have done this before and works for me . I'm sure if you cut down it will balance out after all its the calories over the week hope that makes sense . ( it should read naughty not naught ) :) x

Hi Mishelly I'm on 1600 but am always under that but like the other Lady said don't go below 1200 . I think if you start off with a low calorie intake you have nowhere to go and could end up starving which isn't good and could end up bingeing which is exactly what I did (naught ) . Good luck...

Hello Mishelly you sound like me with the SW diet ! Don't let " friends " get you down I've had lots of situations where "friends" have got to me one even saying to me I should just be happy being fat and ill never loose weight ! We were both going to SW at that time she persuaded me to leave...

Just found this thread would like to join please :) My goal is to loose 3 stones by the end of the year I'm going to be 50 in December and would love to go into 2015 being fit and healthy . Thanks x

Hello everyone :) I've just started CC my first week . There doesn't seem to be a lot on here for CC it's more for SW . Here's a brief description about me so here goes ill try and keep it short . Been doing SW on and off for over 20 years and although I lost weight has always been very slow and...

Totally agree it's not a rush thing as been overweight most of my adult life it's the frustration of it week after week lost confidence in SW and I do really think that not every diet suits everyone we are all different and lose better on some diets than others ... x

Thanks for all your help am definitely going to try some of these and see how much I can loose by the end of March and going to do the 10syns for a while and mix it up a bit Thanks again feeling more positive already xx

I Follow EE mainly but do add in red and green days just to mix things up a bit Here is my food diary for last few days Breakfast 2eggs scrambled with smoked salmon with wholemeal 60g roll hex Lunch Mushrooms Baked beans jtk potato laughing cow light hex mullierlight cherries Orange Dinner...

After many attempts doing the sw diet I've decided that for whatever reason it doesn't work that well for me . I have lost weight although very slowly 4 1/2 lb since Christmas! I need a diet that I can follow that I loose weight on or I will give up . I can honestly say that I have followed the...

Lost 1lb on Thursday so now weigh 12.13 so slowly steeping in to this group after stepping out last October ! Been a bit of a battle but reading people's stories on here is very motivating and makes my want to get going towards the 11s . I can and I will do this as I'm heading for the big 50 in...

I rejoined Sw beginning of Jan & I am enjoying the diet but my losses are slow 6 1/2lbs in 6 weeks . I do agree that sw is no good for portion control and some days feel I eat just for the sake of it which is I'm guessing why it's so slow ? So this week I'm going to try something different and...

I lost another lb so that's 6 &1/2 lbs in 6 weeks I did mix things up had a few red days more fish chicken fruit & veg but no big difference just have to accept that weight comes off slowly for me & if I was trying I wouldn't be losing any weight at all and could be much heavier ! Going to start...

Thanks for the fantastic advice have been looking up speed food in book & trying to eat more of them . Didn't think about drinking more water so will def try to have more . I do think Sw is a great diet & one I could stick with tried WW didn't last long was starving ! Good luck xx

Hi rejoined my group beginning of Jan and am 5 1/2 lbs lighter which is good but was wanted to know if there's a way I can give myself a boost ? I have 3 stone to loose I follow extra easy and have followed the plan I write everything down or I'd forget I eat lots of fruit but not as much veg I...

I'm doing something similar it's my 50th in December and would love to be at my goal weight by then :) I'd like to loose a stone every 3 months (ish) fingers crossed as not a lucky fast looser never have been ! Good luck x

Been doing the Paul McKenna "system " for a couple of days and seems to be working so far ! Not really been over thinking the food just eating what I want and not what I think I should and for now I'm not obsessing and getting stressed switching diets also decided to stop weighing everyday which...

Gwella thanks makes a lot of sense what you have said I am an over eater and can go a bit mad with SW as it's " free food " but some days well most I can never get full how ever much food I eat ! Would like to be able to control portion sizes :) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Morning has any one done the Paul McKenna I can make you thin ? Had a quick read it seems to make sense only eating when hungry stop when full etc ... Thought it could work quite well with SW didn't know if anyone had any thoughts ? :) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well done :) can't wait to get to target aiming for this time next year x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Just wondering if many of you have had that "light bulb moment " when you decided to do something about your weight ? I did a few years ago and just became focused and didn't want or need junk food anymore and lost weight every week and although I never regained all the weight I can't seem to...

Good luck I stopped going to group in Aug this forum is amazing with lots of advice from people we're all in this together and understand the weight loss journey x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Family are coming to mine and we're getting take a way Chinese but will struggle will try fingers crossed to be as good as I can .

To be honest I'm struggling a bit with the super free foods especially at breakfast I'm not really an early morning breakfast person and can't really face a SW fry up in the morning so will just grab a banana and blk coffee I'm fine with eating fruit through out the day just not very appealing...

KMC4 I agree with the starving yourself thin tried CC only lasted a week was starving and became obsessive which I don't have time for ! I like SW as there are lots of free foods which means your not constantly watching every thing your eating if I write a food diary I just put fruit / veg not...
