I'm glad you found your group so nice. I love mine and I go as much to see everybody as much as anything else! Wishing you a huge loss this week :)

I lost three pounds this week, which I was very pleased with as the last few weeks haven't been that good.

3 off for me this week (23.5 lost – 26.5 to go) :)

Your symptoms sound exactly like mine when I had gallstones. Stomach cramps that just got worse and worse, right into my back, mostly in the evening. Being sick was the only thing that eased them. It might be worth asking your GP. I had my gall bladder out in the end and was very happy to say...

1 off for me this week.

Please could you update mine when you've got a minute. I've lost 19.5 and have 30.5 still to lose :)

Phew...I can finally join you in this group! MrsLisaMarie you are my inspiration :)

I've sent youa private message Chris but I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about your dad x x x

Hi, Amazingly I lost 7lbs this week, so I'm finally into the 22's!!!!!

I haven't updated this for ages but I've lost 19lbs since the beginning :).

Welcome back Paul. I've been watching your progress with interest, because your weight is similar to mine and also because I come from Farnham. I'm having a bit of a struggle this week and we're going on holiday on Thursday which doesn't bode well, but when we come back i'll be joining you...

Hi, I'm going on holiday to France in a few weeks, and I'm panicking about food! I know putting on weight on holiday is inevitable, but I've been working so hard to lose weight and I want to limit the gain as much as possible. We're staying in a place called Terrasson which is not too far from...

4lbs lost this week :) (Travelswithafatgirl – 50 (9.5 lost – 40.5 to go)

I lost 2.5lbs last night which I'm really happy with :)

2.5lbs off this week :) 44 to go.

Good luck Mossie, you can do it. it's brilliant that you've got friends at work to keep you on the straight and narrow.I do wish you hadn't told us about the syn free KFC though...

It took me a week or so to get my head around SW, but now I absolutely LOVE it. Good Luck!!

I want to lose weight because I'm bitterly ashamed of myself. I'm incredibly unfit and can't walk far without getting breathless, so one reason is to become fitter and more healthy; but the main reason is because my beautiful daughters miss out because I am the way I am. I'm so embarrassed about...

That's fantastic!! I'm really hoping to pick up my 1.5 stone award this week (which will be 2 stone in total as I lost 7lbs before joining SW), but I'm not going to beat myself up too much if it takes an extra week. Fingers crossed though!

I love your zoo, but I'm so sorry to hear about your black cat. I hope you've got some better news now. I have a black and white cat, that looks very similar to yours, three rabbits, 4 guinea pigs and a hamster. My husband is in the process of setting up an aquarium for tropical fish too, so...

I'ma huge Man Utd fan. When I lived in Salford I always had a season ticket, but we live down south now and money and child care have changed all that. I get to three or four games per season,and we have all the sports channels as well as MUTV, so I don't do too badly although nothing beats a...

I've just finished the third one and I think they're great. Perfect books for someone looking for some holiday reading.

On the Slimming World website there's a bit in the recipes and menus section for students/people on a tight budget. I've found it really useful.

Roast chicken, sw roast potatoes, broccoli and gravy. I feel ready for it now!

You can make syn free ones though by using the same method as for syn free chips. Last week I made up a stock cube with a little boiling water, drizzled it over the potatoes before putting them in the oven and they were gorgeous.

I love charts and plans, so I really like your idea and will borrow it if that's ok. I'm in the process of making a huge countdown chart. I started with 205lbs to lose, and I'm making a grid with a square for every pound to cross off as I go, with every 7lbs and every 5%, 10% etc marked out...

I've been moaning a bit because I've lost almost two stone and I haven't gone down a dress size yet. My friend has a theory that, no one setting out on a diet does so when their clothes are comfortable, it's when they're getting tight, and also things have often stretched a little from being...

Half a syn each Laura but soooo gorgeous. I've got the Hazelnut ones at the moment, and they're yummy. Someone told me to try putting them in the freezer so they take longer to melt in your mouth so I want to try that!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but according to mysupermarket.com Asda have Mikado sticks for 75p. They're at least £1.39 everywhere else.

Chezz and Em can I join you two. Ive got about twelve stone to lose and I feel a bit on my own. I'm doing Slimming World and have lost 21.5lbs so far. The reshape programme looks brilliant. I could do with something like that.

Surely I can't be the only one in the 23's? I'm currently 23 stone 10.5, and would love to chat to people who weigh a similar amount, so we can support each other. I'm going on holiday in four weeks and I really really want to get into the 22's by then, but I'm not sure it's possible. I can't...

Rocky Road for me too, but the Cranberry look lovely and I think I'll try them next time :)

Mine are 1.5 stone award - 2.5lbs to go (2 stone in total as I lost half a stone before I started) and Lose a stone before holiday - 11lbs to go (4 more weigh ins)

I think she's saying should she get the bike AND continue doing SW. In which case, definitely, as hopefully it will speed up your weight loss, but at the very least it will tone up your body. Of course you should take him up on his offer!

I lost 3, 47 to go :)

I threw away my scales because I was convinced they were wrong, after getting upset that I'd put on when I hadn't. That was definitely the right thing to do. However I then bought some much more expensive ones, and they are also saying I've put on this week (weigh in this evening). I wish I...

Unfortunately I don't know anything about spreadsheets but I'd love something like this. Could you explain to me how to do it? I'm just taking things half a stone at a time, but I also love when I go down into the next stone bracket. Only a stone to go until I get into the next one!

There is an 11 year old at out class and for her the emphasis seems to be on her being more active. She does a lot of trampolining and does active games on her Wii eg Just Dance, she's doing fantastically and seems to be enjoying it. Does your daughter enjoy anything like that?

Good Luck. You have done amazingly well :) :) :)

Our consultant gave out Success Express leaflets to people who needed a boost last week,and this week every person who'd stuck to it had lost 2lbs -some even more. There's a thread on here with all the details. I also read something about a 777 week which is 7 syns, 7 superfree foods and 7...

Steal away loolahoop :D

I've got a money box that needs a tin opener to open it. The plan was to put in a pound for every lb lost, plus a fiver for every certificate - 7lbs, 14lbs, Slimmer of the Week etc, but the problem I've got (and it's a great problem really), is, in the last three weeks, I've had three SOTW...

Absolutely can't wait until I can shout this out too. I'm in the severely obese catagory, but the numbers are going down every week :D

Mine's Friday too. I think it's because I weigh on a Thursday so I feel a bit more relaxed on a Friday. I'm prepared today though. I have a Rocky Road bar, a packet of Velvet Crunch crisps and loads of different fruits ready if I need to call on them!

I lost 3.5lbs yesterday so I'm pleased with that. Well done everyone on your losses.

I honestly don't think that people who have never had to lose weigh have a clue how hard it is is. There's still no excuse for his comments though.

I'm really aware that people can easily see my weight when I'm being weighed, and I think because I'm so big, people are more interested. I honestly wanted to be sick the first time, and I do really hate it, but I'm trying to think of it as a sort of therapy (I'm struggling to make this make...

Anna, my scales have been thrown out today! I was getting on them every morning and the result would really affect my mood. I am amazed with how much I've lost so far and even if I have gained this week (* week) it won't put me off.

My scales are showing a gain this morning, but I don't see how it's possible as I have done everything by the book, including body magic. I weigh in tomorrow too. I keep telling myself it's not a race, everyones bodies are different and if I stick to the plan i WILL get there, but it's still...

Mine 1) Seven glasses of water a day 2) 15 mins of exercise (broken down if necessary as I am completely unfit) 3) Do my food diary every day

I haven't been doing this very long, but I really try to stick to just meals (although my meals are fairly large). I feel, for me, the idea of foods being 'free' is just too tempting, and that I didn't get to this size by having much self control. I looked at my husband and mum who are slim but...

This thread is such an inspiration to me as I started at more or less the same weight as you and I'm doing Slimming World too. I'm hoping to be down in the 23's in the next couple of weeks and follow you down through the numbers until we get to goal. You must be so incredibly proud of yourself :)

Wow, you must feel like a new person. You're an inspiration to me :D

EmmaS - can you put me down for 50lbs please :)

Don't be ashamed!! If you can get motivated by her nastiness then you should be rejoicing and delighted with yourself. I've only been at Slimming World for a month and have far more to lose than you did, and unfortunately remarks like that would probably put me off forever (luckily everyone in...

Hi Jeni and michmick, thanks for the welcome. I had my weigh in tonight and lost 3.5lbs which i'm really pleased with (12lbs with slimming world and 19 altogether since 5/5/12)

Hi BlondeGem. I'm doing slimming world and have lost a stone so far. For some reason I've been really hungry this week, but have stuck to free foods. I really hope I haven't put on.

I really like that idea, thank you! I've even got a foot spa somewhere, gathering dust so I'll dig that out too :) A massive well done on your weight loss Amythyst. You've done amazingly in such a short time.

I've got a great deal of weight to lose and my mum has suggested I reward myself as I lose, maybe every half a stone. I really like the idea but I don't have any idea what to reward myself with and I wondered if anyone had any ideas. Obviously food is out of the question, and I don't have much...

You were really brave to go and must have been delighted with such a little gain. Well done on your weight loss so far :)

Good luck Josh. I've heard that vodka is one of the better things you can drink, but I doubt it would cut it when you're desperate for a pint! I'm sure if you just cut down a bit, added to your low carb diet, you'll still lose weight :D

Hi! I bought some of the hi-fi mint bars and won't be buying them again. I ate two in one sitting without really noticing and they're full of syns and expensive too. I'd far rather have a kit kat!

Hi and good luck at your meeting. I've just joined slimming world too (have had 3 weigh ins so far) and I love it. I was a bit put off by all the clapping at first, but now it all seems part of the really supportive atmosphere. I have a really sweet tooth so I don't envy you being surrounded by...

Hi, I have just found this site, and it's perfect timing as I am nearly 6 weeks into my new healthy eating plan (I'm trying not to call it a diet). I have loads of weight to lose so I will be here a while, taking advantage of all the wonderful advice and hopefully helping people too. I'll...
