Glad its not just me! I always get funny looks when I start guzzling pints of water after WI ;)

I weigh in at 5.30pm, so I'll eat and drink as normal up until 3pm(ish) and then have nil by mouth until after I've weighed. I've done it every week since I started and its my normal Thursday habit now!

I'm feeling exactly the same. Just had a little cry about it actually, its pathetic really. I know slow is the best way to do it, but I had a lb gain last week despite being 100%, and (even though I know I shouldn't before WI) just weighed myself today and it looks like I'll be in for another...

Had this the other day, AMAZING!

1. Global Gathering Festival this weekend, can't wait to dance my pants off! 2. Potential family weekend break to Belgium in a couple of weeks, parents, boyfriend and all! 3. Exciting new business venture..eep! BONUS POSITIVE: 4. FLIPPING GORGEOUS SUNSHINE! Lots of CAPS, sorry, the sun made me...

Dinner tonight, leftover roast beef with tonnes of salad and couscous, perfect summer food :D Also, just wanted to say how INCREDIBLE you look now, Holy moly!

I had a Gingernut biscuit last week, first biscuit in 2 months...unfortunatly it was every bit as delicious as I thought it would be! :giggle:

Woman at my group lost hers and had to pay for a new Welcome pack, due to the fact that they all come together rather than as seperate books. Hope you find it!

Welcome Violetwind! Well done for chosing SW, like you I yo-yoed for a long time, sometimes very unhealthily, and Slimming World is the first thing I've tried that I don't feel deprived on but it still WORKS. I've not been on very long (2 months) and I'm sure other long-term members will have...

As far as I know the Light ones (70cals or less) can be used, 2 for your HExB. My consultant brought the Orange & Choc ones in as an example for Healthy Extras, and I trust her to be right!

Starbucks do a fab filter coffee, just ask for it with space for milk and add it yourself at the sugar/milk station. Its cheaper too!

*Kicks up backside* You SHOULD be excited! Its brilliant that you want to get back to SW, its a lifechanger and I really believe that as long as you keep your head straight, your body will follow. And it'll thank you for it! Just imagine how amazing youll feel even after the first week knowing...

Of course you can, easy peasy, good luck and enjoy it! Bet you can't wait to see the look on everyones faces when you go back as a skinny minny :P I want to be Club 10 by my birthday (16th August) and was on track until last week, so now I'm going to be SuperSpeeding as much as possible to keep...

For SERIOUS?! Holy crap! I like the but come on!

I found your half pound, on my ass :( I've had a 0.5lb gain this week, but it's my time of the month so I guess it could've been a lot worse, and I think my very naughty weekend two weeks ago has caught up!

Welcomes! :)

£1.95 per box of 6, if I remember correctly.

That looks DELICIOUS! I'm green with envy! I had: Mug Shot...AGAIN, with extra peas, and a rocket salad. Boooring. Looking forward to my 4pm Rocky Road HiFi :D

Ditto what everyone else said. On Sunday I had a full roast followed by two, TWO, different types of pudding, I knew I could either feel bad about it and give in, or feel bad about it for an hour and just keep to the straight an narrow the rest of the week and just keep those fingies crossed for...

GOD I am papping myself about this evening, I have been SO GOOD this week but still really worried about tonight, seeing everyones losses is helping though! Well done guys! And good luck to everyone weighing this evening, like me, we're all in it together! x

Hi! Welcome, I'm new too so don't worry ;) I've only been doing it a month butI've read up on it A LOT so I'll try and help anyway: Regarding your plan, as far as I'm aware you can do whatever you like, mix Red/Green/EE through the week, or just pick one and stick with it, whatever you fancy...

I want to be in my Club 10 by my birthday (August 16th) which means losing another 12lbs, but closer than that, I've just got my half stone award so I'm aiming to get to my stone in the next 5/6 weeks :D

Yeah, the target members in my group seem to have as much trouble maintaining as we do losing, it is a bit of a constant battle but you've got to remember that they need you there too, you're still an inspiration to the rest of the group, despite a possible gain! I think the best thing to do...

Kraft Light French Dressing is fat free and syn free, I think it's still on offer in Asda at the moment too! :)

Waitrose, it's cheap too, less than £1 for a big pot my mum said!

Hi! I'm a Thursday weigher too, excited and nervous in equal measures, I wish someone else could do it for me sometimes but I guess it's all part of it. Never thought there was such a thing as 'too much' fruit, but that does seem like an awful lot! Not sure what my digestive system would make...

AMAZING idea! Yay! I'm going to try that this weekend :D I had Quorn sausages with mustard mash (smooshed with half a tin of mushy peas I had hanging about) and a large salad. Bit odd but our fridge has packed up so I can't be the culinary queen I usually am! :P

Hi Jenna! I have minimum 2stone to lose, maybe more (I'll decide when I get there), have already lost half a stone in less than a month which is a bit slower than I expected but it's healthy for me! It's tough getting your head around eating things that other diets don't allow, like pasta and...

Urgh what I nightmare! I'm sure may of us can sympathise. I think its normal to put on slightly after a period, my boyfriend knows a lot about weight-loss and nutrition and said that women tend to store water the week after a period but that will go after a few days, I'm not sure how much truth...

CRAP. Right I'm off to eat an entire punnet of cherries then!

This is the only HiFi bar I've tried but I am OBSESSED with them, from what everyone is saying I think I'll be sticking with only buying these! Love that they can be my HExB as I often struggle to eat this and love that I can have these instead without the guilt! Need to find a way to keep them...

Hiya! I'd love to join this team, I'm 25 and started SW nearly a month ago, LOVE it so far but finding it hard at times (but a lot easier than any other diet I've done!) Well done all of you with your amazing losses, hopefully I'll be catching up with some of you soon! x

Oh good, I'm so glad theres a reason for the name, I hated to think that it was called 'Star Week' because some women were too prissy to say 'PERIOD' in group, haha!

Bloody Mug Shot again (I hate working in an office sometimes!) but managed to nip out and get some frozen peas to bung in it, which makes me 1/3 Superfree, PHEW! Also some cherries and a Vanilla Mullerlight.

Haha, I WISH I could do a freezer eat-down! My whole thing packed up over the weekend leaving me with a kitchen full of soggy, rotten food! :( But yeah, this is a FAB idea, there are always some amazing dinners that can be made out of things lurking in the freezer! Brilliant thread!

Fry Light is amazing, my mother in law has an Actifry and swears by using FryLight with it, all her chips are syn free and deliciously crispy!! Its very tempting to buy one but not an investment I can afford right now :(

Thanks Holly! I've never done anything like SW before so its lovely to see people who swear by it and go back to it time and time again, it must be doing something right if thats the case! Congrats on restarting and hopefully this time, with the support of group AND this amazing forum, you'll...

I just did mine and the results actually scared me a little....meaning I prefered the 'Before' me to the 'After', it looked like a skinny bobble-head! Although of course the simulation doesn't account for all the lumpy bumpies and cellulite, haha.

Woohoo! Congratulations! My last WI showed that I was out of the 'danger zone' too, so now I really feel like I'm on the road to being healthy again!

I echo everyone above, Atkins is good for a 'quick fix', but isn't a healthy way to lose and keep off weight. I'd say stick with SW, as I don't agree with any diet that demonises food groups. (Also I've known a few people who've done Atkins, it really DOES make you smell funny!)

Hi all, I was hoping to find a thread like this somewhere here, I'm really glad I have. I suffered mainly restrictive eating and chew-and-spit for nearly 3 years, aged 19-22, then relapsed two years ago when I slipped all to easily into obsessive exercising and restricting again. I had an...

I'm also sensitive to MSG, get the headaches and find my heart racing after eating foods containing it. If you read into what it actually does to your body (causes chemical lacerations in your taste buds to give you a more intense flavour) its awful, and I do think it needs to be banned.

I've found that sticking to the daily targets are good, but its nice to add up at the end of the week and see how you're averaging. For example last week I thought I was really naughty, but added it all up and actually only had 74 syns out of 105!

I was going to ask the same question, sometimes I'll open the fridge, see my stash of Mullerlights and think 'Ooh! Free!' regardless of hunger. Its purely psychological and I need to STOP it!

Good luck everyone! Mine: 1. More superspeed foods every day, still worried that my Download Festival cheat weekend will catch up! 2. More excercise, 30 mins walking at LEAST. 3. Re-start food diary, it DOES help and it halts my snacking.

I spend half the week with my SW God of a boyfriend, and the other half at my parents who are FEEDERS. Tonight is a parent night so I'm scared to say the least! I might insist on cooking, if I do it'll be grilled salmon, mustard mash and peas. Fingers crossed!

This is a lovely thread <3 1. I love my bottom (as does my bf!), so I hope that SW doesn't rob me of too much my booty! 2. I have put it through some crap over the years (EDs, yo-yoing and drink) but its still a reliable thing and I'm learning how to treat it better. 3. After training very hard...

I don't know if anyones mentioned it already, but GRAPEFRUIT work exactly the same! If you need to make up for a naughty weekend, have one (or half) with every meal and its pretty much guarenteed you'll lose! Plus they taste a bit better than lemons :P What a fab thread!

I'd never done SW before, but have done lots of other similar diets and ate very healthily all the time, so I was really sceptical at first that I would lose anything at all. I seemed to be eating more of the foods I avoided, such as carbs, and the only real change was cutting my fat and sugar...

GOD that sounds delicious, wish I'd had time to make a salad! Lunch today: Thai Mug Shot, punnet of cherries (for snacking), Vanilla Mullerlight and a Hi-Fi bar. That shows exactly how quickly I had to leave for work this morning! :( Hopefully I'll have time to make something less processed...

I've only been to 4 meetings so far but already its getting on my nerves. As someone who goes alone, and is new to the whole Image Therapy thing I find it very difficult (and nerve wracking!) to talk to total stranger about things I would normally keep private, such as my diet, so the fact that...

I couldn't resist during my first week of SW and had a cheeky hop onto my home scales...only for it to say I'd PUT ON 3lbs. Had a little cry and went to my first WI anyway, where I discovered I'd actually lost 5lbs, so my home scales were out by over half a stone! They are now in the bin and...

This is such an amazing thread, I'm tempted to print out all the info and keep it in my SW folder as a quick reference point!

Hello everyone! Gosh what a busy forum this is, might take me a day or two just to get my head round it! My names Gemma and I started SW nearly a month ago now (doesn't time fly?) and so far I've managed to lose half a stone. I was hoping for more, and was disheartened with my 1lb loss after...
