Amazing!!!! I'm so glad, keep on going ❤️❤️ It's always a boost when people notice as well - especially around the face (though my chins are always the last to go ) xx

Today is okay after a bit of a tricky weekend with some foods and no packs! Back on again today & 2l of water down, I'm gonna have my first pack in a moment & then have 2 this evening I think :) I'm gonna try being 100% TS during the week, and will add a meal on Saturday & Sunday alongside 2...

Aaah thanks my lovely that's great!! Good to hear when people are doing it different ways - I think I'm gonna try this week with adding a meal & see how I go - far more likely to stick it out, especially with trying to have a social life as well (why does everything revolve around food damnit!)...

Cheers girls!! I'm always bloody on & off, nightmare. The weekend has also not been ideal! I'm thinking I might have to do something to make this work for me a little better, I am quite a 100% person normally and if I commit to something but I'm really struggling at the moment. I'm wondering...

The last few days have been so so busy - I had a day off yesterday as I was out for lunch entertaining clients. Back on it today though starting the day with a couple of boiled eggs instead of a shake (it's Saturday, I can't be doing with a shake this morning) I weighed on Thursday eve (naughty...

So I didn't post yesterday (slap on the wrist) but only because I was running around all day & all evening. I was 100% yesterday - hurrah! 3l of water as well. I weighed myself last night and I am 17st 10lb - ack! I'll now be weighing & posting progress every Monday where possible. Today -...

Aah thanks love I'm kind of glad it's not just my parents! I've had issues with eating in the past so they'd Not be pleased! Being at home is 100% the way to go, excellent plan on the coffee as well I'm gonna have to start doing that! Thanks lady :) x

Day three is a little better! I met my parents for breakfast this morning & couldn't take a shake (long story hu they don't know I'm doing exante) so had a couple of boiled eggs instead. X

And the end of day two is a fail. I should have just re read my first post. Feeling utterly rubbish and ordered a take away. However, usually I can eat for England & I didn't even eat half before it went in the bin. So apart from the weakness and the wasted money, at least that's something...

Hey! Where eating can be avoided, I have a shake before & then arrive and can say I've eaten. If it's totally unavoidable (like going for dinner) I have a look at the menu before hand & get something that won't kick me out of ketosis, steak or something - there's a food list somewhere! The...

Hello! I started yesterday & have 6 stones to lose as well :) How's it going for you so far? X

Hi love! I am too :) I started yesterday (after a half attempt in July) so I'm on day two. 11.5 stone is my goal as was my lowest weight! Xx

Hey :) I've just re started too - Day 2. Hard! But worth it! Looks like you're going great so far :) X

Day two. Day two is awful. I'm having a very much needed duvet day but I am fantasising about cheesy pasta. I've had two packs & holding off a bit for a third. Weekends were always going to be the hardest though, I'm kind of glad I'm getting a weekend out of the way in my first three days. It'll...

Thanks guys! Feeling good today - I'm starving to death obviously and I had a bit of Ribena earlier (totally mindlessly) but apart from that, it's ok. 3 packs (2 shakes and a bar) and so much water. The evenings will be hard but as it's Friday I went off to the pub and occupied myself - soda...

So I posted at the beginning of August after starting exante. Totally fell off the wagon and haven't crawled back on. Until now. Pretty sure I'm about 18 stone right now. I need and want to do this. So, I'm starting this diary to commit to posting every day & to really do it. Can't carry on...

Hi lovely - congrats on the surgery!! It seriously changed my life, so so good to be pain free! I've never had ghost pain before so don't worry - I suffered a lot with pain on Exante before due to being on and off the diet, so my only advice would be if you're gonna do it make sure you don't eat...

So after a swan dive off the wagon yesterday I'm full of regrets - mainly because I am SO HUNGRY this morning after not being hungry for a week. The plus sides are not only did I have a truly lovely & much needed day with my boyfriend, I won't be doing that again! I have one planned 3 days off...

Any joy Penny?! Today is a write off for me! :( xx

Let's do it lady!!

Well today started well & then went downhill. 2 packs, 3 boiled eggs, some Veggie chicken nuggets & some salt ribs from the Chinese. One week won't change my stress eating though, so I'm moving on & will pick up where I left off tomorrow. Quite disappointed in myself as I was so proud of getting...

Thanks Tinneh! Xxx

I find 3 shakes or 3 and a bar is the way to go for me! I'm such an all or nothing human I need the restriction I hope today is going well!

Okay today thanks lovely! How are you doing? Have just had a read through your diary - you are fab!! Xx

Today is hard! My first weekend day, boyfriend eating American pancakes. Could easily kill him have had a shake & about to have a bar whilst he's eating. Only just feeling hungry so that's always good news. Need to start the water today as so far I've only drink tea and Coke 0, my insides are...

Thank you Darcy

Hello :) I've recently restarted Exante (after a brief stint in 2012) and I am on day five! The first four have been fine but today wasn't ideal - 2 soy lattes & some chicken, and only one pack which was a bar. It hasn't thrown me off too much & im hoping that I can make it through the weekend...

I do zumba and interval training twice a week - it's hard but not impossible and if you enjoy interval training it's good fun!! I've just bought the discs so 6 workouts a week and I'm on day 3 so I'll keep you posted! If I haven't toned up after this 60 days I'm giving up! :p xxx

This has totally inspired me to crack the slow cooker out!! I've had mine for years and have never used it. Thanks!

Just wondering as I've being doing sw since June and my weightloss has stalled in the last few months/come to a stop. I keep stopping and starting out of frustration and I'm gaining and losing the same 5 pounds at the moment! I started insanity a couple of days ago (which is hard but okay, I'm...

For goodness sake. This is ridiculous. Yes it is more expensive to eat healthier and frozen pizzas are cheaper - but giving up swimming for Chinese takeaways? Wanting more money? I earn 7 grand less working full time and I manage to feed my household healthily on a budget. I think this lady is...

I just stick them in the freezer and they're all good! The top can get a bit crystally but otherwise it's fine! You can always just pop one in and see how you like it :) xxx

Exercise can only be a good thing, even if you think of it in terms of health and not weight. Having said that though with slimming world you can lose without exercising so if you really don't want too at the moment then don't beat yourself up about it xxx

Kind of echoing everyone else here, but if you don't feel it's affecting your losses don't worry. I've cut out fruit recently as I plateaued for literally about 2 months and it was making me a right misog. I now snack on veg instead and my losses seem to have started again. Fingers crossed at...

Thank you so much for posting this thread I'm exactly the same. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but I have given myself a week off plan and this week I got back on it. It stopped the boredom for me and after a week of not eating so well I kind of found myself wanting to get back on the...

*don't

I was doing a lot of exercise for about 3 months and lost nothing so I stopped, I'm debating starting again just because I felt so much healthier and I think that might be worth it.It does mean I won't weigh myself though as I done cope well with seeing weigh gain/sts! So maybe that's an idea...

Well done! I camped at v this year and I fell off the wagon in quite an incredible way! Back on now though! (Altho only just, getting back on is always painful for me! :p) Well done you xxxx

Bloody hell I can't believe there's only 17 weeks til Xmas! Scary x

Love this thread! Hit up diet coke and take your 2 alpen light bars for your session, save 7 syns for a can of normal coke afterwards/or hit up a chocolate bar, and have something stodgy when you get home! (You know like cottage pie or something where you feel like you're being a bit naughty...

Don't let it get you down - it sounds like it was a thoughtless comment that struck a chord and made you worry. As everyone has said - people close to us don't notice! You have an incredible incredible loss so far so don't let it stop you or get you down. Is there someone you're friends with...

I'm a young woman who's been in a diet for ten years and I've been really struggling too - no losses for about a month despite following plan and exercising. All I can say really is just stick at it and as kally said maybe try and mix up your food? Whenever I'm having a rubbish day and I want to...

I've put a pound on this week! I literally thought I was going to cry. I've just had a major blow out and I'm just going to have to reassess AGAIN tomorrow. Ergh. x

Hey Faye -welcome back and good luck! Out of interest do you think not weighing so often will help you? I only ask as I was thinking it might actually help me more to just get weighed twice a month! xxx

Oh my god that's incredible - mines going straight on my fridge too! x

I have 2 stone to lose so this was an incredible motivator for me - thank you! And very very well done you look fabulous xx

You look so good well done! xx

Well done that is such a difference!! xxx

SO inspirational! You look incredible and those top tips are fab xxx

That is incredible - well done!!! xx

Amazing well done!!!

Well done on not going for a pizza! I can't go to Ask because I know I'd break! :p Xx

I know a chicken dhansak is 6.5! With boiled rice, or pilau is around 2/2.5 I think! I've got a feeling that chow me in is around 7 but I'm not totally sure! What did you go for?! My OH works for a curry house at the moment so I am pretty much living and breathing curry syn values ;) x

Welcome back and good luck! xxx

Amazing that you're a target member well done! I've got a couple of stone to get off yet but I'm a slow loser too - welcome back! xx

I find sw much easier because I can never be arsed to cc properly! Hah I am way more likely to cheat but on sw I feel like I don't really have too - hurrah! xxx

Boiled eggs are a life saver and loads of fruit! Quiche is a really good one as well I'm totally on board with that one!

I am craving baked potato literally ALL the time at the moment despite the heat. It is utterly ridiculous x

I can shave my legs in the shower without having to contort myself into hilarious yet undignified positions! x

You literally could have been describing me in your post donkey - I have been on sw for 12 weeks and although I've had a few weeks of struggles where I haven't seen a loss, I've lost a stone so far and it's going well. Having said that though I am also in therapy for eating problems, but I...

I had a pound and a half off this week which is such a huge relief! I'm hoping now that I've started losing again after a month of not it'll keep going! I'm going to keep doing 2 exercise classes a week and keep running as well and hopefully it'll all keep coming off. Thank you guys so much this...

Than you gwella! That's good to hear actually as I am quite enjoying it, ill probably just do 2 classes a week instead and keep running! I've ordered a shop that arrives tonight full of loads of fruit and veg, and I went back through the sw book from the beginning and took a few bits from there...

Oh god don't I've been trying to convince my OH that we need a new ceramic pan... he's not on board. Yet. xxx

That sounds amazing! I am all over that bad boy xxx

Ps Just realised I posted this from an account I THOUGHT I'd forgotten my log in for! How bizzare xx

I think you're right rosiepops! I feel like in term's of losing weight it's doing sweet **** all for me and is just making my days longer! I think cutting back is probably a good shout there. I might do 2 a week instead of four or something I don't know, it's a shame really as my fitness level...

You guys are absolutely wonderful thank you! I'll deffo get rid of work coffee's (which will be torture as I work in a call centre but worth it!) and try and up my veg intake as my sf mainly comes from fruit snacks and chucking vegetables in stuff! I ill try upping my syns next week and...

Thanks I'll absolutely get on that!! xx

Hey guys :) I'm a minimins and SW newbie, I lost 2st on a VLCD and have now ended up on the urgent list to have my gallbladder removed so I've started SW. Doing a 'diet' where you can actually eat things other than cereal bars is the best. news. ever. Will keep checking in to see how you guys...

You're so right there, willpower can be SO hard to find sometimes but the wagon isn't the be and end all *nods*. I'm so glad I stopped lurking and posted because I think i'd have eaten the entire contents of my fridge without your replies! Don't worry minniemouse, 3lb will come off so fast when...

Story of my life. My weight has fluctuated for years and although sometimes i'm really miserable about it and crack, if my flatmate brings home a bargain bucket i'm just like 'Sod it I don't care anyway' - I go round in a big circle. I found the classes for SW really motivating too and its nice...

Well done! Did you find it hard when you first started? I've promised myself in 7 pounds time i'll start running but i'm frightened! (And so unfit)

Some of the flapjack recipes are sooo good!

Thanks guys! That has made me feel so much better! Straight back on plan today! Hope you all have a good day too! Xx

Hiya! I'm new too, I've just joined minimins today after lurking for ages! I have a lot more to lose than you but support is always good! X

I'm quite new too so we can try and help each other! :) X

Oh gaaahd I drank a lot of vodka soda last night and then had a 'gutbuster' fry up at 3 in the morning on the way home. I'm pretty sure there was fried bread involved. And a lot of high syn sausages... and a burger! I feel AWFUL today (and it's not the hangover! ) and have been snacking on...

Hiya! I'm starting for the first time on Weds - packs arriving tomorrow afternoon, i'm scared! I rarely stick to a diet but really need to this time so will check in and see how you do. Good luck :) xxxxx
