Well done Rosie those hurdles can be the hardest!

Milk and bread today

M&s do some lovely non-alcoholic drinks that you could take Rosie :)

I was soooooo tempted to pick up a bottle of red wine on the way home - we're having steak for tea and it feels wrong to have it on its own! But I quickly realised I was just doing it out of habit and that I'm not that fussed for a drink really. Squash and tea will do me! What about having a...

I had jacket beans and salad, definitely needed warm food on a day like today!

I'm feeling good and haven't really felt too tempted yet! I think sunday will be my test as we have family round for lunch and I will want a glass of wine with my lamb roast!!!

I know I nearly got blown over walking to the bus stop before :(

Mmmmm that looks delicious!

Completely understand that feeling, in a week it will have been a year since we lost my nan and christmas was so hard without her. Hope your dance class takes your mind off it a little bit this evening! Food all looking yum - definitely require a pic of the risotto :)

Spag Bol with courgetti spaghetti for me!

My spiralizer is the only kitchen gadget I actually use!!!

Hello everyone! I'm doing a combination of SW and 5:2 at home (hoping the 5:2 bit will combat any naughties or socials) and will be weighing in for first weigh in on Friday! Need a good loss after a very indulgent December!

Homemade ham and Lentil soup with carrots onions leeks and celery added, it's yummy and really filling

Hey! I am definitely giving Dry January a go this year. I haven't signed up to any of the charity things but I will be laying off the booze to both boost my weight loss and help to save a bit of money. I'd gotten into a bit of a habit before Christmas of having a glass (or three!) of wine even...

I'm finding it much easier to stick to actually and my tummy has been a lot better! Only had some bananas and grapes and a little pot of almonds today as been in our London office and been back to back meeting people. Just waiting to go out for dinner with a few colleagues and I can't wait - I'm...

Hope you had a really lovely weekend! X

So sorry to hear about your sale falling through but well done you for getting straight back on it - it would has been so easy to let that turn into a whole week of naughty eats!

Morning! Back to work after a lovely long weekend. Proud of the choices I've made this weekend - I haven't been 100% but I have managed to enjoy myself without losing complete control! Plan for today: (B): banana, grapes (L): creamy butternut squash soup, almonds (D): chicken stuffed...

Managed to be good again yesterday - even resisted the macdonalds that everyone got on the way home! Off out shopping with my mum and sister today but my mum follows the paleo diet so sure we will have something diet friendly for lunch :)

Been at a festival yesterday and back there again today. Been trying to make food as "clean" as poss by taking my own snacks with me. Also has a chicken shawarma kebab which was huge big chunks of chicken breast with lots of fresh salad, yum. Drank about 5 pints of cider yesterdy which is...

Ended up going to Byron burger for lunch. Had my burger without the bun and with a side salad instead although did sneak a few onion rings and a small glass of red wine. Tea will be steak with carrot and swede mash (thank you m&s dine for 2!). Picked a couple of DVDs up so looking forward to an...

Feeling a little bit run down today but had a lovely lie in! Think it's probably a bit of everything - new job change, change in the weather and change in food. I know all the yummy fruit and veggies I've been eating will make me feel better soon though! Not really sure what we are up to today...

Wow jessy thats amazing! Well done you, at least you can relax a bit over the weekend now without feeling too bad :) x

Feeling tired today! Can't decide if it's the change of diet or the exhaustion of starting a new job! Anyway it's my Friday today so looking forward to a long lie in tomorrow!

P.s. Your tea sounds really yum!

Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit rubbish. Hopefully you will get chance for some down time this weekend? X

Food for today: (B): yoghurt, blueberries, small handful of almonds (L): goats cheese, Parma ham and walnut salad with balsamic/olive oil dressing (D): home alone so think I might treat myself to a nice steak and some roasted veggies with salad (S): grapes, banana, almonds, small glass red...

Thank you jessy! Oooooh definitely want the brownie recipe - might have to so some bank holiday baking!!! I'm hoping it will make me feel much better - have you had many benefits since switching?

Hello lovely ladies! Sorry I haven't been around - was having tummy troubles with SW (I suffer badly from IBS, and I think the extra fibre sends my stomach a bit bonkers). Anyway I won't go into the unpleasant stuff but I was having lots of bloating and troubles. After a big chat to my mum and...

Oh god, 3 leaving lunches booked in with people from work this week and 2 nights out for boyfriends birthday (one of which will include a 3 course meal and champers at our fave French restaurant!) I am definitely going to try and squeeze in a fast day tomorrow and then possibly 2 next week!

Jacket and beans I think!

60g wholemeal toast with a banana

Morning diary! Last week at my current job this week before I start my new one next week. Yikes! Plan for today looks like this: (B): 60g wholemeal toast, marmite, banana (L): jacket potato, beans and salad (D): chorizo pasta bake (with tomatoes, onions, peppers and salad for super free)...

Mmmm lamb kleftiko is one of my absolute faves!

Also I am considering adding in a fast day or two over the next few weeks. I have got quite a few social things coming up (boyfriends birthday, festival, etc) which will include cake and booze but I don't want to hinder any losses! Has anyone had any success with this? It would be good to get...

Cheesy beans on toast! Yum

Feeling proud of myself today! All my family have had cooked brekkie this morning and snacked on Doritos and dips and choccie ice cream this afternoon. Feeling proud of myself while I snack on my mugshot and skips!

The wedding was lovely! A lot of family there so was nice to catch up with everyone :) x

Morning everyone! Home at my mum and dad's today and it's so nice being cooked for :) Plan today is EE: (B): cheesy beans on toast, banana (hex a + b) (L/D): chicken roast dinner with frylight roasties, carrot and swede, cauli and broccoli. Going to have my mums gravy as I...

I think that's a good idea - it's all about finding a balance and it will help your motivation tomorrow :) well done you! X

Chicken roast dinner :)

Has anyone got any good results doing this? I absolutely love SW but I have so many social things on in the next few weeks that I thought a fast day or two a week could help counteract the naughties!!! It would be good to hear if this has worked for anybody else and get some ideas of what people...

Had a fab day at the wedding yesterday and stopped drinking at 9.30pm so no hangover today, woop! Food was not even remotely on plan (definitely not the humongous piece of sticky toffee pudding!!!) Back on it today! (B/L): bacon with beans, banana, grapes (D): steak, potatoes and salad...

You seem super focused Jessy! Enjoy your run today I am going to go this afternoon too :)

Ouchie - forgot how achey the shred makes you the day after!!!

I didn't buy or eat curry from m&s - even though I had it in my hand ready to pay!!!

It would make slimming so much easier! I am undecided between two - one is quite tight around my tummy (well everywhere really!!!) and the other is completely floaty but quite unflattering still. I am going to see how I feel tomorrow!

You've done brilliantly! A busy weekend planned would make most "forget" about the diet for the whole week ;)

2.5 syns of delicious carby goodness!

And after trying on about a million dresses for the wedding tomorrow I am SO glad I didn't hve naughties!!! There is a definite reason I have started slimming world and it's because I don't want to have to wear "magic knickers" with everything for the rest of my life! If only I could bottle...

Change of plan for tea - Boyf fancies chicken and chorizo jambalaya instead so gonna have to syn my 2nd healthy extra. Still leaves plenty of syns for chorizo and a bit of choccie though :) and I have totally just resisted buying an m&s curry which I am so proud of!!!

Mmmmm they sound yum!

I know how you feel! My goal date is far away too and so it's easy to think it doesn't matter as much. Just take baby steps - every good decision you make is better than how you would be eating without any influence from SW! X

Woop! Well done you!

Do it! We can keep each other motivated :)

Jacket potato with beans and salad :)

Green day: Hex bs: - 2 x alpen light - ryvita minis Hex a: Cheese for Mac n cheese :)

Mac n cheeeeeeeese!

Yoghurt, banana and an alpen light!

I started this morning and could definitely do with the motivation to keep me on track!

Yum! Way better than maccies! X

Up and at em this morning! Done day 1 of the 30 day shred (decided to do this one before ripped in 30) - forgot how hard it was!!! Might try for a little walk/run tonight too as I was rubbish at the body magic last week. Extra easy day! (B): 2 x alpen light (hex b), grapes, tangerines...

Not tempted by the mayo but the smell of the freshly baked bread is definitely a temptation!!!

Go you miss! That's a really good way of thinking about it - when we crave something we automatically assume it's something "bad" when really it's probably just something our body needs that we can get somewhere else! How are you finding paleo? My mum and dad hve had a paleo diet for about the...

Wow well done, you are doing amazingly!!! Here's to another great week xxx

They are great and it helps that there is one very close to where I work! Going to start ripped in 30 tomorrow has anyone done it before? X

Can I come to your house for the weekend? Sounds amazing!!! Haha x

Could you make a yummy SW version tonight to take with you tomorrow? Maybe use some syns to make it extra tasty?!

Here to subscribe! Huge congratulations on hitting target you must be so proud :)

Subway salads are fast becoming my favourite treat! Had extra jalapeños today and it was delish!

Your food sounds delicious today! Love the sound of the soup and halloumi salad :)

Wow well done you! I posted something similar on Jessys thread on Monday but it just goes to show that staying on plan te rest of the time and not letting one off plan meal turn into a week is enough to get good losses :)

Nandos! Butterfly chicken, halloumi and salad.

Subway salad today.., already can't wait!

Cappuccino muller with a banana and a cup of douwe egberts caramel coffee! Yum

3lbs down this week which I can't believe after lots of lovely food and drink at a wedding this weekend. Think it must have been owed from the week before :)

I always get the mint tea in Starbucks it's yummy!

Morning everyone! Happy hump day! I am in a fab mood today as despite dreading weigh in after all of my naughties at the weekend I have lost 3lbs this week! I think a lot of it is carry over from my angelic week the week before but I have also made a conscious effort to keep the super free up...

Mmmmmm what are they like?! X

Amazing loss!!! Well done :) it just goes to show that being good 90% of the time cancels out any naughties!!! X

It was absolutely beautiful!!! They had a tipi wedding in a field and it was just so unusual and personal to them. Thoroughly enjoyed it but needless to say with that on Saturday and my hangover yesterday the weekend has been wildly off plan! Got a meal out tonight to a tapas restaurant that...

Have a lovely time and enjoy it - you can undo any damage next week :) can't wait to hear where you have been whisked away to! X

I have been rubbish tonight - crusty bread and butter plus chocolate :( need the comfort food today and back on it tomorrow. Not going to beat myself up about it just going to get back on it in the morning.

Thank you everyone! Hoping for an early dart from work so that I can make some nice comforting soup and have an early night with Netflix :)

Morning! Feeling really run down and crap this morning and have got two big coldsores developing :( not happy as I have a wedding to go to on Saturday! Lots of healthy comfort food today I think to make me feel better and a nice early night. (B): banana, tangerine, grapes (L): jacket potato...

We used tripadvisor quite a bit and also recommendations from friends - we are both big meat eaters though so not veggie friendly unfortunately!

That's an amazing first week, well done you! :)

Thank you both for replying! I know you are both right I was just a bit taken aback as when I have done SW before I have always had a bigger loss in the first week. However I know this works and it's a marathon not a sprint so I will keep plugging away at it! :)

Pip is right it's the best place in the world :) and go you for getting to the gym!

Been for a 4 mile run tonight, hoping this body magic mojo sticks around for a while longer!

Hello! That's exciting when are you going? I am lucky enough to have been twice before - once with my family when I was younger and me and my bf went in December last year. We absolutely LOVED it so are going back for my birthday this year :) it's definitely a good weight loss goal as there are...

Red day today so steak, fried veg, halloumi and lettuce tonight. Can't wait!

I had a chicken salad from subway with sweet onion sauce. Delicious for only 2 syns and very filling!

How is the cauli fried rice? Seen a few people trying it but not sure whether the flavour of the cauli would be too strong! X

Hi everyone! Had my first weigh in this morning and only lost 1lb. Hoping it's because star week is due and that next week will be a bit better :) x

My subway salad lunch was so nice! Really tasty and filling for only 2 syns, will definitely be using it as my fallback lunch when I don't have time to prepare anything!

Hi everyone! Feeling a little bit disheartened today. I joined SW online last week and have had my first weigh in this morning and only lost 1lb! Has anybody else had a slow loss in their first week? Any tips for next week? Thanks! X

Morning! Weigh day today and feeling a tad bit disheartened as only lost 1lb. I know its in the right direction but when I have done SW in the past I have always had bigger losses in my first week. Star week is due to begin tomorrow though so I'm hoping that has had a bit of a knock on effect...

tomorrow is my first one! Feeling nervous as * week is due to make an appearance!

Feeling good tonight - all of my friends opted for pizza or creamy pastas when we were out tonight and I stuck to the veggie pasta I'd picked out earlier. And best of all it was bloody delicious so I didn't even feel like i had missed out!

3 mile run done with a hill thrown in for good measure! Hope the body magic shows on the scales this week

That's fab, well done Stevie! You have really pulled it back and proven that one bad day doesn't have to ruin the whole week which is what I have always been guilty of in the past. X

definitely let us know what it's like, I have seen it online quite a bit and am dying to know what it's like! Perfect for red days

While I'm feeling positive and in the zone today I thought I would break my goals down so I always have something to work towards! Goal 1 - get into the 9's (5lbs loss - 9st 13lbs) Goal 2 - get 1/2 stone award (7lbs loss - 9st 11lbs) Goal 3 - lose 10lbs (10lb loss - 9st 8lbs) Goal 4 - get club...

That's what I thought too - and more superfree!

We've had BBQ tonight! Chicken, homemade burgers, halloumi and loads of nice veg :)

Ended up being a 7.5 mile walk to and from the market! Feeling wiped now. Decided to have some margaritas with our BBQ (the perks of living with a bartender!) so syns will be slightly over today but not too worried as the past few days have been low!

Yummy food planned for today! (B): chopped strawberries and bananas, followed by bacon, beans and toast (hex b) (L/D): BBQ! Chicken breasts, homemade burgers (no bun), salad, fried peppers and onions, halloumi (hex a), potato wedges! (S): fruit pastille ice lolly (3 syns), 2 margaritas...

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding, what a great goal to work towards! Your food looks delicious, will definitely be subscribing for ideas! X

Hi everyone, After lurking around minis for a while I have finally decided to bite the bullet and start my own food diary! I have attended SW groups twice before but have also fallen off the wagon when I have been busy or had a lot of social events on that have dragged me off plan. As I have...

Wow your diary is full of yummy ideas! Especially like the sound of the risotto. I'm new to minis and am here to subscribe, keep up the good work! X

Hello! I am off to join slimming world this evening and my goal is also to lose weight for a trip to New York! I am going for my birthday in November and ideally I would like to lose a stone and a Half by then which I hope will be doable. Do you have any tips for a newbie? X

Like some of the others have mentioned on here, SW tends to help me manage my IBS. Mine flares up when I eat to much rich or dairy based food (hence pizza making me v poorly!) and the structure of slimming world seems to help me restrict the bad stuff. I think the key is finding the balance...
