I managed to stick to my calorie allowance today without getting hungry between meals or giving into temptation

I’m not sure about a “cut off” for fats and sugars When I’m looking at products in the shops I always compare the labels to see which has the lowest fat and sugar in the 100g column and look for the highest for fibre. When I did the Rosemary Conley calorie counting it used to be the 5% fat rule...

This is amazing! 3 1/2 stone is fantastic well done!!!

There’s a few members who really like to make the effort to say hello on the new groups - I’m sure you’ll find one or two people popping by your group to wish you well on your journey Sadly this is the first Rosemary Conley group I’ve seen since being back on Minimins in January Make sure...

Hi Honeyz Good luck with your restart I did Rosemary Conley about 10 years ago and lost 2stone - was absolutely gutted when she closed all the groups I do calorie counting and every now and then I get my GI Jeans book out and follow it for a kick start All the best!

Hi! Welcome! I am calorie counting ...Have done for a while •Planning ahead is always a good start to stay on track •I use MyFitnessPal everyday •I don’t always have carbs on my meal if it’s not needed • I try to stick to unprocessed food I struggle with temptation and emotional eating so...

Hey guys having a really busy week at work and not always getting time to stop for a lunch break, and because i dont want to grab naughty food i just dont eat til i finish work at 4 ...not ideal think I might have to switch to sandwiches for my lunch so I can eat on the go if I have to. It's...

I can see that 3 stone is a daunting target! I like to take it half a stone at a time so I have smaller goals leading up to my big target of 2stone I did lose a stone but some crept back on and I struggled through winter on and off So at the moment I'm 8lb lighter that when i started...

Hey cherry heart Do you have a weight goal and an event to achieve it by?

Yep cannot wait! I have a dress alteration session on Saturday so want to have a good week 20 years is a great achievement :-)

Thanx also Iv been doing sit ups morning and night (when I remember lol) iv got a sinus cold at the minute so Iv stopped cycling to work (walking instead) but hopefully im still going to the gym twice this week if I can breathe lol Usually if I feel ill I fall off track and struggle to get...

Hi polly think u need to get obsessed! I find it helps to get obsessed by reading the books/magazine again , plan a week of breakfast options, lunch options and dinner options to avoid temptation to change your mind at the last minute Maybe get your dinner in the slow cooker before work so...

I'm the same: it's silly to pay £5 a week to weigh in when u can do it urself for free at home at at ur gym

Ok so weight last spring: 12st 8lb Todays weight 12st 0lb Loss since last week 2lb :-) Good motivational start Yay!

Ok so weight last spring: 12st 8lb Todays weight 12st 0lb Loss since last week 2lb :-) Good motivational start Yay!

Thanks for the advice chocahorrific and ally_88 I mainly do extra easy I have tried success express but it did absolutely nothing for me I found I couldn't eat everything and was bloated Green and originals are ok but extra easy suits me and my lifestyle It's just my willpower sometimes I...

I don't go to class either but have up to date books and buy the magazines

Hey Nicsta I lost a stone last summer on slimming world The best thing to do is concentrate on free food and don't waste syns on silly things that you really didnt need I had a roller coaster winter and half a stone has crept back on but I'm back with full focus and ready to kick butt I...

Thanks for the motivational words willfitskinnyjeans this is exactly what I need people to make me think twice! Some friends tend to say "oh go on treat yourself" and I think yes I will but that's not what I should hear from friends, they forget to support my weight loss, its not their fault...

Yea I need to keep posting because I need to feel like someone is watching me so I don't cheat myself

Hey guys I'm joining this support thread for a bit of support to get me through to my wedding in 2 months time (thanks for the invite Jodieboo) I think I need to know that people can see my progress and keep me blogging cos Iv let things slip and need to keep focused! Thanks

I originally lost a stone last summer with slimming world and felt great but then one thing after another made it a bit of a roller coaster weight loss so I'm now back to just a half stone loss which is still great I originally wanted to lose 2 stone for the wedding but with me hitting...

Hey guys I do slimming world at home I keep stopping and restarting but need to stop messing about Only 9 weeks until my wedding and have a lot of social events this year especially in the next 2 months and I need to stop "treating myself" I did lose a stone but put half a stone back on...

Hey guys I'm not a mum yet but you will be glad to hear that I spoilt my mum on mothers day even though I was at work 7:30am until 4pm! I went and cooked for the family after work (syn free meatballs with spaghetti and then we had a naughty pud) bought her a present and made a fuss of her on her...

Yay fantastic you must be so happy x

Hey sarg My weeks been a bit wobbly so far I need to pull myself together I'm eating plenty of salad but I'm using a lot of unnecessary syns when I could be eating free food or just waiting until my next meal Looks like you're having a good week so far

Weight watchers yogurts £1 per pack in sainsburys I'm a fan of the Greek style ones and the fruit layer fromage frais

Well done on weight loss! I stayed the same but that's good cos Iv had social events this week Here's to another week of weight losses and closer to our targets!

How was ur weekend? I lost another 1lb which I am happy with On weigh day I don't count syns but I don't pig out ... Basically if I get any cravings during the week I am goin to wait til Sunday then buy a little bit of it for myself like this week I fancied some really nice biscuits or cookies...

Well that's the most Iv ever lost in one week and I don't know if it will ever happen again lol Good luck with the gold it can only be good for you :-) Keep thinking of those clothes in your wardrobe!

Good plan try not to beat yourself up about the weight gain I had such a good week last week when I was off work when I lost 6lb ...today I had a sneaky peak on the scales to see if I'm on track and I have stayed the same which is great but I wanna loose more! So I'm upping the exercise and...

Sounds like a good plan to me have you had a good day?

Sorry if you have already mentioned it, but do you have a target weight for a particular date? Like I have my wedding dress fitting and alterations in 12 weeks! my overall target weight is 1 and half stone away I guess I would like to be a stone lighter by the dress fitting as its more...

Keep at it I know it can be so disheartening and I know what you mean about giving advice people at work ask me for advice and I give advice on here too Then when u go off plan u feel like your cheating them as well as yourself Just keep remembering that feeling of seeing a weight loss on...

Hmmm sounds like a good idea but I think ill give that one a miss to be honest But ill keep helping you with support X

Oh dear just keep trying if you have Indian maybe share the rice and naan bread or choose a chapati bread instead of naan Tandoori tikka meat is alright it's not in a sauce but tends to come with salad and mint dressing Or choose a tomato based sauce Maybe do some good cardio workout to make...

If you are craving Chinese why don't you whip up a homemade syn free stir fry? Or if you order one in just choose wisely there are quite a few Chinese takeaway dishes at just 5syns for 350g according to my new directory

Thanks! oI cut down on using all my syns on snacks oI concentrated on eating free foods o snacked on fruit, yogurts and 1 cereal bar each day ofilled most of my plate with salad or veg at both lunch and tea odidn't overload my plates full of carbs like usual odid a bit of exercise each day even...

Well done in the weigh in mum2cit! It was my weigh in this morning and I have had a fantastic week with a 6lb loss Yay! Hoping to have another fantastic week good luck everyone X

Sounds busy! Hope you enjoy time with the family I have had a fantastic week and WI was this morning I lost 6lb!!! I'm well pleased! I hope I have another good week x

Yea I think you will need some books as a lot has changed My mum has done slimming world on and off for years! I'm talking well into the early 90s maybe earlier and while she used to be able to have things like stagg chilli for free it's now quite a few syns I remember her having the tin...

I also did the treadmill today: 45mins of power walking on it at the gym with a friend Didnt want to run on it cos I hurt my foot 2weeks ago (i think its just wear and tear/ repetitive strain) and I'v been easing back into exercise since Monday I've got my gym schedule sorted for next week...

Well done on your 2lb loss bubblewrap!

Ooh I was about to ask when your weigh day is but didnt realise I missed one of your posts A STS is better than putting on i hope you get a nice loss this week with all your planning :-)

Sounds like your all organised and ready for the week ahead!

Fair enough as long as it keeps you fuelled til the next meal I was using my syns to get me to the next meal which I have stopped doing its so easy to fall into bad habits

is that all breakfast? I'm trying to get out of the habit of having loads at breakfast and my 10:30 break at work. I used to have branflakes or ryvitas at 6:30 for breakfast then on my break I was having fruit, yogurt and 1 or 2snacks: something sweet like a cereal bar for 3syns with something...

Haha yea but slimming world users on minimims have been clever they use it to make a pizza dough or as breadcrumbs for chicken kievs it's actually nice you kinda forget that it's smash or supermarkets own brand instant mash (just check which ones are free) x

Also if you fancy pizza dont be afraid to check out smash pizza recipes on here I freeze them (free if you use the cheese as a HEX) even the fiancé eats them! And great with McCains 5%fat oven fries (1.5 syns for 100g while frozen) or make Sw chips?

It can be used it so many ways If you like risotto / paella try this with the chorizo, i found it on minimims ages ago Chicken and Chorizo Paella Serves 2 - 4.5 syns per serving on Extra Easy 2 Chicken Breasts Diced 100g Chorizo Diced 2 Onions Diced 2 Cloves of Garlic Crushed Red and...

Hmmm... Leeks not everyone uses them but they are lovely Sweet potato great roasted as cubes with bacon and onion Try using kidney beans tinned in chilli sauce next time you make a chilli (free) Sainsburys good for you Cumberland sausages (0.5 syns each) great in campfire stew from one...

Nice one just think of how pleased and proud of yourself you will be!

What are you thinking? A new low fat snack, new recipe, something different for breakfast/lunch/dinner or a new ingredient to try?

I signed up to a 12 month contract at the local gym with a friend We make an effort to go 2-3 times a week for fitness and for our money's worth!

I also have a target date ... My wedding end of June! My final dress fitting with the seamstress is mid May and I want to loose a stone at least Do you have a weight loss target date to work towards kymmyk?

Hi kymmyk Welcome to slimming world and minimims I started may 2012 but never been to class, my mum has been going there for years and we decided to do it at home for free between us and mum has taught me how to do it We text and ring each other for support, share recipes and food finds and...

I bet you don't count all syns when you have a sneaky handful of nuts or the cheeky biscuit? That's what I started to do: have a cheeky rich tea finger biscuit or breadstick thinking "it's just 1syn" then don't add it onto my syns through forgetting I ate it or trying not to show I'd gone over...

Stick with it Maybe assess what you're doing these tips usually help me: - are you drinking enough water - are you exercising - are you having free food before considering to use your syns when you're hungry between meals - are you writing everything down - are you measuring everything or...

Well had another great day although today was tough cos I was hungry a lot of the time and had to resist the temptation of just grabbing stuff to use up my syns... I filled up on water, fruit and yogurts instead Used 8 syns on flora extra light, yogurts, a cereal bar, mayo and a lollipop Did...

Another great day! 7 syns used on a cereal bar, mayo, McCain oven chips (5% fat ones) and a Greek yogurt Feeling a lot more in control I'm also going to do a few home exercises this evening like sit ups and squats 13 weeks until my final dress fitting and I would like to loose a stone in...

Today was the fresh start! I have had a great day: Used only 9syns and it was on a cereal bar, mayo, salad cream, flora extra light and yogurts Had an hour at Pilates too I don't feel like Iv missed out on the snacks I was having ( low syn crisps and fun size choc bars) Here's to a good...

Stop buying low syn treats! I'm getting too comfortable with having quick and easy snacks in the house that I'm ignoring all the lovely fruit and yogurts I have bought I need to concentrate on free foods and keep my syns as an after thought!

Right I need to stop messing about and get this weight loss restarted! I have looked at what I've been eating and what I need to change. To start with I need to stop buying low syn treats all the time because I'm planning my day around them and grabbing them instead of fruit and yogurts...big...
