well what can i say, i have tried to loose weight more times than you can shake a fist at. feeling pretty glum right now, but only have myself to blame. getting married in 2 years and really dont want to be the ten ton bride :( I joined sw online in october and ive lost zelo, zilch, nada! all...

Made this tonight. Omg its lush!! Think i will be making this again!!

Good luck xxx

I didnt have anything but picked up a gfy chicken sizzler in asda. They are delish and quick. 4.5 syns but worth it! Good to know about mcdonalds tho. Stary

Arghh.....ultimate challenge!! Sittin in mcdonalds with the kids!!! Have resisted though, i have had 2-3 chips but id usually have a 1/4lber meal and sundae!

Good luck on your weight loss journey :-)

Im not one for groups either, i am doing it online. You could easily do it yourself but for me i like having my food diary at a few swipes on my phone and being able to look syns up via the app when out. Some say its expensive but then i would easily spend the same amount of money probably more...

Thanks guys, Temo thats a great loss :-) have you downloaded the excel sheet? I find that really good. I bought some jeans a few weeks ago and last week i couldnt even get them shut but i have them on today!! So much clothes in my wardrobe that i cant fit into, cant wait until i can start to...

Well done! Be proud. Stary

I was 1/2lb heavier than yesterday but i did have tea quite late so im putting it down to that. I should stop weighing daily lol. Helps.me stay on track more i feel. Still very happy with 6.5lbs in 1 week Stary

draw a line under it and tomorrow is a new day. you could have kept going and ate more.

Re: NEWBIE <3 How has this week been for you vicky?

To loose 8lbs by 1st Dec and be in the 16's :-)

I did a google for codes/offers but didnt find any, but i didnt mind the £60 for 3 months. I think after 3 months you get a renewal price of £15pm. If it helps keep me on track and means i can quickly look up syns etc and add them to my diary then its worth it for me.

Re: honk if you were 100% today! Honk day 6

i was using open office to start with as my excel seems to crash often but it works 100% in excel. just need to figure whats crashing it!

i am getting the same. anyone help?

Lets hope so :-) x Stary

Well my wi day is tomoro and im hoping to drop 1/2lb overnight to make my first week a 7lb loss. Wish i had made the move sooner Stary

My mag arrived yesterday Mel. As of this morning i have lost 5 3/4lbs. I am a bit of a serial weigher :-/ Any loss is better than a gain Stary

i think you need to be in the 'zone', if my heads not 100% in it i fail!

Well 100% so far today :-) and work is usually my biggest downfall! Damn vending machine lol. Feeling positive!

The rubbing of thighs, wearing out trousers, boots that will fit over my calfs, are just a few reasons! I nodded in agreement with nearly every single 1 of you!

Ive been doing good, and im no good at sticking to diets! I like sw as you can still have that packet of crisps or treat.

you can get the packs sent if you sign up for the gold package. it would be cheaper though to go to a class for one night and get them. they charge an extra £15 online or you can pay £5 to join a class (1/2 price at the mo) and then the £5 weekly fee. i signed up for the silver package as for...

updated ticker

well after struggling with my weight all of my adult life and now reaching my heaviest weight ever i have signed up online. i have done sw in the past but have always fell on the waggon then told myself i could go it alone, but clearly i cant. i did manage to 2 stones on a previous fad diet but...

Well my heads just not been in it but i finally feel i am in the zone. Have had a shake for breakfast so im on the right path.

We are all human hun, ive been failing lots, like i cant get my head in it. Had my shake this morning though.

Well ive kind of failed miserably!!! However im now off work for a couple of weeks and work seems to be my downfall, damn vending machines!!! Im starting afresh tomorrow and hope to be posting a positive post in 24 hours!

Could be worse hun x

A lot of the time i have meals even when not actually hungry, its my mindset i need to change!! X

Well scales are tipping 17st, im 30 and feel frumpy! Ive never been thin but i have never been the weight i am today. It piled on once my partner and i moved in together, then after the kids its just stayed. We have a family holiday booked for october so i would like to loose a bit for that. Ive...

ok, im moving my diary here! less clicks lol. i have sooooooooooooo been off plan for a week but i do find it difficult as i do like my meals!! tomorrow is a new week and im back on track. dh is starting again tomorrow too so some motivation i hope! and the scales have broken! ****** know whats...

weddings is 2 weeks on sat so really need to knuckle down. so damn hard when u feel like you want to eat. im going to freeze some grapes and i do like them but full of sugat, all be it natural. not been that great today and i have seen about 4lb creep back on so must get it off again. i feel...

ok so yesterday was a complete right off had a 3 course lunch, huge breakfast before that then 2 packets or crisps and 2 cakes later in the day!!! totm is approaching though and ive just fed it!! meals was unavoidable as we didnt have kids so dh and i decided ages ago thats what we were doing...

good luck on your journey. I used to drink vast tins of fizzy juice but now im used to drinking water i actually prefer it. Its not going to be an easy journey as unfortunatley there is no quick fix. this is a fab place of support and encouragement and i look forward to getting to know you.

im loosing inches but not lbs x

well done for being strong Lou. i know it takes some will power to resist old foods, especially when you know how good they taste.

yep kcal is the calories x

i really think that if i manage to loose the amount of weight i would like to and get my bmi to 25 i will need surgery afterwards. after 2 sections with big babies i know it doesnt matter how much weight i loose my tummys never going to shrink with it. i already have a large overhang and my...

:D:D:D had to nip on and post this. my jeans that i called fat jeans (could fit comfy into them at heaviest point) are now far to big to wear, so ive decided that i never want to wear them again and they are going in the rag bag at nursery :-) a was having a rake through my wardrobe too and i...

i would go for friday wi too then enjoy your weekend x

yeah love im fine. i wasnt feeling great tuesday and came home from work early then my eldest was up every couple of hours with a sickness but so was shattered yesterday. so not been on plan at all this week really, but i guess these things happen. we're both feeling better today so im going to...

yep eating way less calories than previously. on a typical sat/sun at work i would have had 2 rolls on bacon/haggis/cheeseburger etc from local shop and a packet of crisps and a bar of choc with about 3 tins of fizzy juice :wave_cry: then prob had more rubbish in the afternoon then had tea when...

well done for getting into the 12's! im 1lb off getting into the 15's xx

hectic weekend with work but i did very good food wise....well until last night, the time we finished work and picked the kids up it was alsmost 6pm. my salmon and veg was made but dh and kids were having a chip shop tea. so i did too, then i had 4 choc digestives and then sent dh to the shops...

well i endes up giving in and havin the wispa dh bought me so ive not had an afternoon shake but im not hungry. i brought some melon and strawberrys to work and i weighed them first and im amazed at how much you get for your cals!! perfect for grazing. i wont get home until approx 9.30pm tonight...

ok so didnt manage the distance i had planned but did 5 miles. dh's brakes were playing up and being honest my mind thinks im as fit as i was 6 years ago but my body tells a different story!! at least ive had a blast of exercise this morning so im happy with that. had some toast on phili and...

just planned our route and its almost 16 mile round trip! eek!!! few years ago i was more than capable of this and it would have been a breeze. its going to be a challenge but im up for that :-)

just wish i can drop into the 15s which i always always struggle to do. be a huge boost once i manage that.

woke this morning feeling better. ive wi and im at 16st2lb which is where i was about 5 says ago but im happy with this as it was creeping up. im not hungry this morning so will wait until i feel hungry to have a shake. think i need to have a 300cal lunch then a shake few hours later then 300cal...

im going to weigh in tomoro but then after next week im changing to a monday x

in a bloody foul mood (but helped coming on here and reading diaries) i had my shake just before 4pm and nothing since (well was at work so just water). needed some shopping on the way home but refused to go as i would buy rubbish. sending dh instead. i dont feel hungry but my tummy feels.sore...

that sandwich sounds amazing!!!!! will need to give it a whirl. good luck with ww becky xx

well back to work today so back to routine. this morning i dug out the blender and make my shake in it with some ice chucked in. was so gorge and fluffy!! i think it did take some flavour out it so i might try it with choc tomoro as i have a full tub but i hate the stuff lol. back on plan for...

well done for fighting the urge to comfort eat and doing shred. always give you that boost doesnt it x

i didnt feel great when dh got home so i went and lay on our bed and dozed off for an hour until the kids woke me with their banging about and running in and out. i had planned on a shake for tea but i woke up starving and as tea was already prepared earlier i dished some out for myself. tonight...

are you having soup for dinner? least that quickly heated. always my danger point when im hungry.

congratulations x i always end up putting off setting a date lol, i ooh and aah on the type of day i want x look forward to hearing your plans

my bmr is 1802 and using the calculations given on the site i need to eat 2162 calories. which seems a bit much. found another calculator and it suggests 1500 which may seem fine for me. ive been doing 1300 x

yeah i think i will sit and do some sums once kiddos are in bed and maybe i do need to introduce more calories. can make them good calories too like fruit/salmon etc x wish we could sit and eat cake and have it fall off lol x

i think thats the best way! but i am a serial scale jumper so do feel your frustration. x

welcome on board x

im sure i have shred kicking about. maybe im needing to dig it out. you are doing so fab. always helps when you are in the mindset x

how has today gone? x

thanks bamb. last few days ive probably not drank enough water. i have been off work for last few days so kind of out of routine that way too. walked about 4 miles yesterday and probably about 2 miles today with another mile to do for the school run. yeah i use MFP, i did find a link for bmr and...

feeling a bit down beat today. i should really stop stepping on the scales everyday! i feel they r sticking at the same spot. im thinking am i not eating enough? but im using all my calorie allowance. going to stick to SF for a few days and see how i do.

can really go a bag of chips from the chippy! i think i will often be found just posting random things in my diary as it helps to just write things down then look back on them! plus its much easier writing it here than in a book/diary than in our house will get tidied up by dh and never be...

it is tough going, esp if like me you enjoy food. i should have had a shake for tea but i didnt. but im eating less than before. i think if you deprive yourself its easier to give up x

thanks Bamba. i guess we want results overnights at times dont we. ive always had the excuse that i didnt have time to exercise etc and i guess when i piled on more pounds i told myself that more. however now eldest has started school and youngest nursery i do have the time to exercise at least...

well not had a shake for lunch. im trying to kind of half and half it. i dont want to be on slim fast for life so im training myself to make positive choices. shakes always easiest option for breakfast for me as its hectic and i can have it while im organising lunches etc for kids. for lunch ive...

congratulations on getting married! can i join the turning 30 club too lol. im not until Feb tho. i find this board a great source of support, hopefully you can too. i love MFP too x

as opposed to oat biscuits what about cracker bread? its only 19cal a slice and i find i feel like im eating loads and its still under 100 cal. i usally have a scraping of light phili and sliced tomato x

feeling good about today. had a slice of brown toast and a shake for brekkie. did the school run and was going to go for a cycle but the back tyres a bit flat and compressor is in the car that DH has. really felt like i needed to do something so i walked (quite quick) about 2.5 miles. i saw the...

finding it easy as i work evenings so im not at home over tea time so a shake stops me from heading to the vending machines. i have done SF before but only managed to last 10 days but lost 12lbs in that time. this time im trying to not restrict myself so much as thats when i fail. im busy the...

today has been positive. not had any SF today however. i had some apple juice and a petit filous before i dropped the kids off then once i had done some shopping i had some of last nights chicken with a few spoonfuls of sweet chili sauce and salad in a wrap. it was delicious! its home made...

I started Slimfast 1 week ago and before i started the scales always hovered between 16st7lbs and 17st. I weighed somewhere inbetween on Monday and when i weighed myself Saturday morning i was down to 16st :-) i am a bit of a prolific scale jumper i do admit. I took the kids to swimming lessons...
