How's it all going Lady F? X

Always an adventure with you Lady F, how exciting! X

Fingers crossed for you!

How's it going Lady F? X

It must've been a worry for you Lady F. Glad you have a good result and you can rest easy 😊

How did you get on Lady F?

Happy New Year to you too! Here's hoping for some improvement on 2020 🥳

Susie it would be great to hear from you!

Happy birthday lady f! xx

Totally agree about the tomatoes!

It's the same mistake I make, limit my fruit but not my crisps and chocolate 😂

The whole cooked / blended fruit thing with slimming world is a bit of a strange one, I understand the theory of trying not to consume too much of something but fruit has too many benefits to it. Surely everything in moderation! And some of the healthiest (slim & fit) people I know have...

Med food is awesome! Dr Michael Mosely does the Fast 800 diet which is based on Mediterranean food, have a look at it for some good meal ideas and recipes x

How are you getting on Lady F? X

I’m sure you will land on your feet Lady F, you are highly adaptable and seem to thrive on change. Something better coming for you x

Oh no lady F, are they making you redundant?

Susie, what’s happening with the counselling? Are you still going? X

Not done it but something I’m very interested to do! When is your first session? X

I totally understand what you are saying, but just worth remembering that we aren’t always eating because we are hungry. In my case - I’m rarely hungry. But I’m always eating xx

Lovely cut Lady F, jealous of good prices too! Hair cuts and colour are so expensive! Just as a thought, you are clearly motivated to do something quite huge to achieve your weight loss. Have you ever tried the shakes, like with Cambridge? I lost 5stone with cambridge (admittedly I have about...

Don’t forget to keep it simple some days for your own ease! I get bogged down with meal planning and trying to come up with interesting meals when actually, some days just a jacket potato will do or some simply cooked meat or fish with veg. I find having a couple of simple meals a week takes a...

It’s not cheating, you have lost that weight! Well done, I think you’ve made a good decision going back to SW. You've has a lot of success with the plan and know how it works. You can do it xx

How is life in Seaham going Lady F, are you enjoying it? Xx

Lady F, I’ve been recommended the Fast 800 which is low cal low carb with full fats and is based on Mediterranean. Have a look at it, I’m considering it myself xx

I really admire your ability to just set up home wherever you fancy! Do you have friends in Seaham already Lady F, not sure if I’ve missed that bit. I’d love to just uproot and move somewhere but I’ve got a young nephew that I would miss so much x

I love County Durham Lady F, whereabouts are you going? X

Lady F it seems like you’ve had a lot of upheaval, change and uncertainty lately. No wonder Slimming World has taken a backseat! But like you said, it really works for you and going to group provides you with the extra support and structure you need. So maybe time to go back to group and carry...

Lady F, just note you should still do a patch test with home dyes x

Susie how are you doing? X

Happy New Year Lady F. Sounds like you are handling the plan well. Well done and keep up your excellent work. You must’ve finished 2018 considerably lighter than you started it! 👏🏻👏🏻

Lady F, I think 7.5lbs is not too bad at all. It’s so easy to put on. Just do what you can when you can xx

Well done For keeping yourself on track Lady F, it’s not easy! How did you get on at weigh in? I’m having a quiet week before Xmas so hoping to do some damage control!

How have you got on today Lady F? X

You are not alone Lady F. I can’t tell you how many mince pies with extra thick cream I’ve eaten. This time of year is especially difficult, the shops are just loaded with goodies. I struggle to resist and have gained weight. I’m a stone heavier than I was in June! I’ve decided to just be a bit...

Hi Lady F, don’t beat yourself up about it. That will only make it worse. Just be kind to yourself. You will get out of this dip and carry on as you were. Try not to worry about weigh in - i know it’s difficult when you know you will gain. So what’s the worst that will happen? You will gain...

It’s most likely water, not real weight!

Lady F, have you tried the Aldi specially selected lamb rogan Josh? I just had it for the first time and oh my goodness it’s amazing! Nice kick to it too and only 1.5 syns! Doesn’t come with rice so can keep that part syn free. Highly recommend it!

Wahey, well done! Onwards and downwards!

I am loving the Sainsbury’s skinny burgers - having them every week at the mo, so delicious!

Well done Lady F, what a great result!

Glad it’s going well, can’t wait to read that you are in the 21’s!

If you have an infection under a tooth, go to your Dentist. You may well need treatment instead of antibiotics and you don’t want the pain flaring up as it’s awful!

I’ve just worked out my syns for the day - I’ve ended on 56.5. Not sure I can recover from that 😂

I think Bella magazine has a free joining coupon x

Keep going Bethiee! Get some water in you and you'll feel loads better. A positive mind can make all the difference on these diets. You don't need the eggs, you just want them. Get one of your products down you and hopefully the craving for eggs will seem much smaller. Keep up the good work! Xx

No you haven't ruined it at all! Sounds like you had a sole source plus day. It's a great step on the programme, I always did that as a minimum.

That's the best way forward, draw a line under it and forget about it. Lots of water (and coffee in my case!). Keep going! X

How are you doing Scooterchick? I'm on day 3 of step 2, have a roast dinner tomorrow with family but then hopefully no more meals out! I lost a bit of focus after the summer and regained some weight, so getting back on track now. As hard as it is, I find it much harder being fat and unhappy. I...

Well done Lily! Xx

Come on Lily, you CAN do it! Xx

Well done Scooterchick, great loss! Xx

I don't think I've ever weighed myself after exercise but surely it's possible that you might swell up a bit? I get so hot that surely I expand! And then I down a pint of water afterwards!

Oh I miss quarter pounders with cheese. And McChicken sandwiches. And the fries. I love McDonalds. Don't think I will ever turn against it! How did the rest of your day go? X

Well done on your loss! Just wanted to pop in and say hi as your diary motivated me to start the couch25k app. I'm on week 5 now and loving it - so thank you! Xx

I have the Spag Bol 2/3 times per week and it hasn't affected me at all. Xx

I love the choc mint and the key lime pie! Good luck! Xx

Hi Lily, have you thought about doing Ss+ (or your version of it with different products)? I've found it to be a life saver this time round - basically because I feel that I'm 'starving' myself all day so that I can have a product AND a meal in the evening (as the evenings are when I'm at my...

Great stuff Lily, well done! Onwards and downwards :)

Thank you, I will definitely keep up the exercise - I've surprised myself by actually enjoying it! Xx

Yes good luck! Let us know how you get on x

Ah bettiesrevenge, I'm suffering something similar. Really starting to think about food all the time!

Hi! I've been on SS+ for about 10 weeks. I have had amazing losses - I'm 2lb away from 3 stones. I have started doing the C25K running app and am really enjoying it. But over the last week I have found it so difficult to not think about food. I'm pretty tired and hungry a lot lately! Please can...

This is not the news I wanted to hear!

I'm going to wait here eagerly in the hope of being told I can stop shaking and just eat chocolate eclairs!

Fantastic, well done! Xx

Good luck!

Enjoy your holiday, you look fantastic! Xx

I'm on SS+ just started my 7th week!

I'm just starting week 3 of SS+, I have the meal everyday but I also have semi skimmed milk in my tea and coffee. I don't have a lot as I don't particularly like milk, but I've done it since day 1 and I'm 11lbs down x

Hi Helena, I've always had that attitude too re; the smoking. It took me several attempts before I actually gave up cigarettes for good. Why would my weight loss be any different? Each attempt is a practise run for the real event and I learn something each time!

Good luck! I'm starting on Monday, so will follow along with you!

Well done! I climbed back in the wagon and lost 5.6lbs this week!

We've all been there before!

I'm still around just not doing so well! See you here next Wednesday!

Hi, I've used Sainsburys small zip lock freezer bags and found them to be good!

Whoop whoop! Well done!

Congratulations on your baby! And well done on your weight loss already!

That is fantastic, well done! You must feel absolutely amazing! I'm slowly getting back on track. I got on the scales which was the first step. I'm now eating sensibly but not weighing anything or counting but will be back there shortly!!

Wow etanny that is amazing! Well done! Have you got any tips for getting back on the wagon when you've really derailed?!!

Whenever I bake any goodies I always work out the PP - it stops me having more than I should have of them!!

5pp for a crunchie...... And worth every one!

I had 11pp left tonight!

Well done!

Hi I was away last week and will be away this week. Am being good in between trips but it's hard when your mind is in holiday mode!!

What horrible behaviour. I hope you don't let them shake your confidence. They are clearly just pond life, and their opinion means nothing. Keep your chin up! Xx

2lbs for me this week - I'm thrilled!

Yup my calculator said the same!

The whole sachet is 6 points, I think you have to add the milk on top.

Well done! 2.5lbs is a great loss!

1.8lbs for me this week (plus I lost all the pounds I had put on but I'm not counting them!)

Wow well done on 6lbs that's brilliant! Good luck for this week too :o)

Whoops I'm 1.2lbs up from my last proper weigh in. Back on track and hoping to shift that 1.2 lbs this week and a couple more!

Your wrap pizza looks lush, how do you make it?

Mine is my first weigh in for a few months! My losses slow down too but as long as it's in the right direction I don't mind!!

Well done on your first week loss, what a great start!

Well done Scoobysue!! I lost 4.2lbs this week but had put on nearly all that I lost....! Still I'm back on track now!

I restarted today and I'm STARVING! I have been eating so much and all the wrong things! Need my tummy to shrink quickly ?

Haha thanks scoobysue! I'm just feeling so greedy!! I want to eat anything and everything (except salad and veg!!!) but I LOVE being on WW and when I'm good I'm really really good! Must get back on it!

Well done, at least it's going in the right direction! I have been way off track for a month! A right fatty. Be pleased with your loss!

Ah oats so simple thanks! Well done on a good day Sarah x

I can't figure out what 'OSS' is?!?

Wow 6lbs is amazing, well done! I lost 1.4lbs this week, so 12.4lbs down in total!

You are super supportive Serena, so knowledgable too! And I've never known anyone be such a savvy shopper!! X

Not me, mine tries to stop me eating!!!

Well done on your silver 7! I am back on track now, don't think I will weigh officially tomorrow because I don't want to record my weight but hopefully next week should be ok. Looking forward to reading about all you other Wednesday weighers though! X

Oh Wednesday weighers help me! I have fallen off the wagon because I have had to come and stay at my mums whilst they are away (I'm looking after the cat). For some reason I have been thrown completely out of my routine and am eating like a pig. I go back to my place Sunday night so think I will...

Are you on painkillers Serena? I was told they cause blockages x

Yay to more Wednesday weighers! I am having a shocking week, am too scared to go near the scales!

AMAZING!! Well done Serena, such great news! Xx

I think you were right to still have your dinner Sarah, hopefully you got the binge out of your system. The cupcakes are definitely a trigger for you! I simply cannot have some things around me. A couple of weeks ago, I went to a WW meeting to pick up the eating out guide. I ended up buying 2...

Hi Serena, my mum recently used Fybogel to help with her constipation and she said it worked well! It's a fibre drink and it cleared her out no problem! It took a few days, it wasn't instant. Xx

Well done on your loss, here's to another week! x

2lbs this week for me! Very pleased:)

Yay well done Sarah! That's fantastic! x

I'm the same, I rarely list the free stuff!

I eat the same thing for lunch everyday, I find the routine of that quite comforting! It doesn't look like you eat much fruit or veg or are you just not listing it coz it's free? Xx

79.5lbs in total! That is utterly amazing! Well done!

Well done! I am down 1.6lbs today so might count that instead!!

Ahh stay the same! My own fault for a bit of self sabotage last night invoking French bread and peanut butter!

Well done Sarah, it's in the right direction! I have 2 meals out coming up at the weekend too, I find it a bit stressful as I really hate tracking what I'm eating in a restaurant! I will try and make sensible choices but extras always sneak onto my plate!!!

That pizza looks amazing! Did it taste as good as it looks? How did you get on at weight in?

Ditto to all of the above. You really mustn't feel like a hypocrite, we are all in the same boat here Serena. This is a place where you can come and not be judged for having a binge, or suffering from depression or any other ailment that befalls you. You are a huge part of this forum and that...

I am a serial weigher too although I have stopped the evening ones! But it can still fluctuate day to day. Try not to let it get to you, just stick to your plan and it will work out right each week xx

Are you weighing daily Sarah? If so, don't worry! My weight goes up and down throughout the week. Just go by the one weekly weigh in x

Lol! So much conflicting info!

That's brilliant well done! X

My WW app calculator points tinned tomatoes at 0pp for 100g but 2pp for the whole tin (400g) So must be the quantity x

Maybe the tomatoes because they are in tomato juice (as opposed to water or something!)

Sarah my WW app points pre packed veg as 2 points when all the veg inside it are free! I'm so confused! I keep counting it as 2 points but I'm sure I shouldn't!

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself! Leave off the exercise until you feel well again or just go for a gentle walk to clear the cobwebs. Concentrate on your points and eat LOADS of veg (all those vitamins will hopefully make you feel better too!) Hope you get better soon xx

Wow well done! 0.6lbs for me (heavy weekend!) but I've reached my first silver 7!

Doesn't sound silly at all, resisting temptations such as others eating out is a great achievement! Well done! X

Woohoo come and join us! :)

Hey Serena we are here for you just like you are there for us! xx

Yay well done!

1.8lbs off! Really pleased as this week has involved a burger and chips for lunch twice and pizza express! Hopefully this week will be even better :)

Woohoo well done Sarah! x

I love macaroons! Harrods do some lush ones!

And I went for the small portion! Ok, next time (and I'm sure there will be a next time!) I will go for the chunky chips! Thanks for your help Serena, I would never have guessed it would be so high for the fries!

17 for the fries??? OMGGGGGGG!!!!

HONK!

Ah bless you! I had the grilled chicken burger with avocado and bacon (outrageously good!!). And small skinny fries. And we shared onion rings!!

Thanks Serena, I didn't end up there we went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen. It was delicious but very high in points (I think!) I need to pick up the guide, might see if there is a meeting nearby that I could buy one from. Xx

Good luck to you! I am doing online too as didn't really want the meetings!

You look great! Haw a fab day xx

Hi, does anyone know the PP values of foods at the slug and lettuce? I'm going for lunch and I haven't bought the eating out guide yet!

Woohoo well done! All that hard work paid off :)

1.2lbs for me. Not disappointed but I did have a sneak peek yesterday morning an it was a 2lb loss! Hopefully it will come off next week!

Wow, a lovely dress in a fabulous size at an amazing cost then all that food?! What a great day! Well done Serena! Xx

Honk (I think!) went to Harvester but was pretty good!

Wow Serena the difference is phenomenal! Such an amazing achievement, no way is it "up your bum" to show off that change - I would be shouting it from the roof tips! You have every reason to feel proud of yourself! xx

Looks tasty!

Following :)

Also bear in mind that although you can use all your points on 6 wispas or pizza or whatever you fancy, the chances are that kind of food won't sustain you all day so means you probably have more chance of going over your allowance. I'm using WW to try and educate myself to eat more satisfying...

Do you know what pub you are going to? If you do it may be worth checking out their menu online so that you can plan ahead. Mmm pub lunch sounds like an amazing idea! Enjoy! X

I have a lot to lose too. Just going to take it one day at a time otherwise would get too overwhelmed with how far I have to go! X

I can't find a sainsburys one but a tesco white plain flour tortilla is 5pp x

I'm a Wednesday weigher! If I lose 4lb on my second week I will be over the moon! You should be pleased with that, it's really good!

Hi!

Sounds like you had a really good night! You show that by staying in control of food can have such a positive impact on your life!

Hi Caz, how are you doing?

Hi Tina, how are you doing?

Hey fedupwelshgirl, how are you doing? Are you still smoke free? For anyone out there saying that you have tried and failed to give up before, don't worry about it. A lot of things take practise before you get it right, and packing up cigarettes is one of them! You will learn something new each...

Amazing, well done!

I am really making an effort not to waste food, I find it so easy when you are on a health kick to go out and buy loads of fruit and veg and it inevitably ends up in the bin. This time I am only buying what I need for a few days and then going back to stock up once it's gone. I'm pleased I have...

Sarah you should try putting the marmite on the ryvita first, then the laughing cow. It's lush :)

Honk!

It contains broccoli, carrots baby corn and sugar snap peas. Individually, these are all zero points! Very strange! x

Does anyone know why pre packaged veg that you can buy to go straight in the microwave comes out as 2 points when actually the veg inside are all free? I emailed WW and they said it was because only fresh veg is zero points. This seems a bit like duff information but I wasn't sure. Anyone have...

What's a lesley video?

Hi Sarah you can make up those 3 points with your exercise! You are doing so well, tomorrow is another day! Don't beat yourself up about it ?

Love your diary Sarah, so open and honest (and pretty funny!). Keep up the good work, I'm subscribing so I can follow! xx

You look fantastic! Keep up your excellent work!

Welcome back Nikki! Don't feel bad, you know you can do it!

I feel your pain Christy, I work in an office that always has cakes and biscuits too! Well done on staying clear of them! Xx

My finger prick test before the blood donation was ok, showed I had enough iron to donate. It was only because they did a proper test it showed low iron. Fingers crossed you will be fine :)

I can't see any reason not to do blood tests on SS, if in doubt though talk to you CDC / Nurse / Doctor. I've done blood donation on SS+ and lived to tell the tale :)

Hi, I have just had a blood test come back with low iron levels. The Dr didn't even ask about diet, but did ask about TOTM (I do suffer with heavy periods). I have started taking a supplement from Boots (cheaper over the counter than via a prescription) and will go back for another blood test in...

Hi Sian, don't stress about it. It's done with and you are taking measures tomorrow to correct it! You will feel great when the overly full & bloated feeling is a thing I the past! Good luck :)

A-maz-ing! You must be over the moon! Well done! :)

I want to lose another 5 stones I think! That would put me at a healthy BMI, currently my BMI is still about 35. But it's coming down, and that spurs me on. I like setting small targets to keep me ticking over. My next aim is to go horse riding, but I want to wait so that I don't need a cart...

I'm doing good thanks, 2 stones down so I'm really chuffed! I don't have a diary on here, I'm not too keen on posting really, more of an observer! Sometimes however I really feel compelled to write something (such as seeing your photos!) Your diary is a great read, really motivational. Well done!

Well done that's brilliant!

Wow well done! Your photos are great you look fantastic!

Ha ha there are a few people on here that seem to be taking themselves a little too seriously. My phone doesn't show me which page you have posted your threads in so I personally don't mind if you mention food - legal or illegal! Lol!!! Well done on your losses x

I understand what you are saying Lily, but really this thread had turned into a place to moan and moan and moan about how other people are eating. I feel it got to the point where actually, it was just rude. This is a free forum for people to come to, so just because this is a thread for people...

What I take from that is that you have a wealth of experience when it comes to Cambridge. You now know what works for you - and that might not be the same as what works for someone else. I personally find the attitudes expressed on this thread to be a bit judgemental (for want of a better...

Wow you lot really are grouchy. If I was you, I wouldn't worry too much about people posting all the same questions all the time - with any luck they will get it right first time and not have to repeat their CD experience. And don't forget, you are not obliged to answer - they are not...

You look gorgeous in your dress! Can I ask where it's from and what size you are wearing? x

Fantastic loss, well done!

I miss you lot posting on this thread, please keep it up its the best thread on here!

Hi Surfhunny, I agree - never give up! I didn't succeed the first time I gave up smoking but I learnt something each time I tried. I haven't smoked for over 5 years now! Trying to apply the same logic to losing weight! Welcome back and good luck!

Won't surgery cost you more than the CD products?

Hi IMITT, I can relate you the posts you made up to your chow neon incident. Last time I tried CD I was gagging and couldn't get the shakes down (even though I could at first). I do think it is mind over matter as I can now tolerate them again, however I too fell off the wagon and put on more...

Absolutely amazing, well done! You look fantastic!

Thank you! So far so good, I'm alternating between SS and SS+ . My own scales are showing about 4lbs down so far this week but I don't weigh in until Wednesday! How are you doing? x

I am really pleased! It hasn't been awful getting back on track, but I am having to tell myself "No" a lot! Tonight I have had a spinach omelette for dinner, but I did manage to ignore the voice telling me to buy a sandwich and crisps - so I consider this a massive achievement! There is no way...

I've just come back from holiday (1 week). Just had my weigh in and put on 1 lb. I'm not at all disappointed with this because I didn't deprive myself on holiday, just controlled myself! I didn't over eat, avoided alcohol (I had some, but not a lot). Breakfast was scrambled eggs, 1 small slice...

Good luck for your second weigh in Beckz! I am on week 2, really struggling at the moment. Have decided to have a SS+ day to keep me on track! Let us know how you get on tonight!

Thanks for the advice! I am definitely drinking enough water but will try and up it anyway. I have just had chicken and rocket for lunch. It tasted amazing. I don't think it helps that I am going on holiday for a week on Monday - I am constantly aware that I am going to eat then. Perhaps...

No idea if I'm in ketosis, I have 3 products a day (i couldn't manage 4, I'm not too keen on them!) I was very borderline as my BMI was 39.9 so almost at the point where you can't do SS! Do you think my body could have gone into starvation mode instead? I lost 9lbs in my first week, second weigh...

Hi thanks for responding? It's just that I'm on day 12 and still so hungry! Was sure it would have faded by now.

I'm on day 12 and still so hungry. My consultant has said to have a 200 calorie meal to help me along, but I'm terrified of eating as self control is not a quality I possess. I am drinking loads of water. Any advice?

Wow Nikie, you are doing so well! I really admire your dedication and focus. I am off for my first weigh in shortly (have been on ss for 6 full days, this is day 7). I'm looking forward to seeing a loss!

That's brilliant, you are doing so well! Don't be disappointed, you are an inspiration!

How did you get on? I hope it was a good one for you! x
