    Simply filling and IBS?

    Thanks Sarah. I've laid off the bread for two days and noticed that my symptoms have calmed down an awful lot!! Think SW is the option for me - simply filling allows me to indulge in bread which clearly isn't great for me! X

    Bem brazil

    My hubby is Brazilian and we eat here loads! So easy to stay on plan- loads of meat, rice, beans and salad. The hard part is turning down the sausages, garlic bread and desserts...! Enjoy!

    Simply filling and IBS?

    I lost 3 stones on slimming world and have been at target for over a year and a half now. I decided to switch to simply filling to give my body a change. I've noticed that since I started, my body seems to be rejecting me eating more bread and cereals. (I *think* that's what it is) I've had...

    Tall ladies?! 5'8 ish?? BMI madness or delusion?!

    I am 5'8 and initially set my target at 11 stone. I've since lowered it to 10 stone 7 as this feels more comfortable for me. For my wedding I would like to get to 10 exactly, but maintain around 10 4-6 for the long term :-)

    Dress sizes

    I've lost 3 stone and went from a 14 top to a 10 top and 16 bottom to 12 and occasionally 10. So 1.5 stone per dress size for me!

    Costco SW Finds

    I use Makro too, went last night actually... We spent £150 on meat but that does two big gym going protein eaters a whole month, even more of salmon, steak, pork steaks, chicken breasts. We have two freezers and filled 5 drawers with meat!

    Height Weight & Size

    Start weight 13 stone 8 pounds was size 14 top 16 bottom. Target weight is 10 stone 7 but currently under at 10 stone 4. Now size 10 top and 12 bottom but occasionally 10 in dresses. Want to lose 4 pounds to change target to 10 stone which would hopefully make me a size 10 overall.

    How much exercise...?

    My advice is to start ASAP. I exercised whilst on my journey to target. I've lost 3 stone 2 pounds and my body looks so much firmer and I have muscle definition. I do exercise a lot, between 6-8 hours when working and 8-10 when on school holidays but I love it!

    I did the grit cardio one- was so so hard! And I'm used to attack on a regular basis! I regularly do attack, pump, combat and RPM and also add in Zumba for a bit of fun and extra calorie burn. So about 8-10 hours per week.

    I used to do body balance but the instructor now just isn't my cup of tea... It's like a fusion of yoga, Pilates and tai chi. It's nice when you have a great instructor! Tried GRIT for first time last week.... Ouch!!!!! It's hard!

    Extra Easy Too Much Free Food?

    I met target in December 2012 and have since maintained my weight through exercise. I want to reduce my target by 7lbs but have found it hard to lose any more weight. I had to take a hard look at what I was consuming and I came to the conclusion that although I was following SW 100%, I was...
