I've been doing SW from home since the start of the year... So far I've lost 2 1/2 stone, but I've started to plateau... I've just contact a local consultant with view to joining her group on Saturday morning... I'm absolutely bricking it!! :(

2.75lb off for me this week :D (Not bad considering I had Nandos, pizza and Chinese over the weekend!!) Takes me down to 18st 10.75lb from a starting weight of 21st 2.75lb ... 34lb gone forever!! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

This is my first post in this group, so hello everyone :) I started my SW journey on the 3rd January 2014 weighing in at 21st 2.75lb .... I had some great weeks with big losses in the first few months, but reached May/June and it all slowed down... after a few weeks of...

1.5lb off for me today... Had hoped it would have been at least a little more, but * week also came today, so I'm blaming that for losing less than I had hoped! All 6lb that I gained last month are now gone and I'm down to 18st 13.5lb .... A total of 2st 3.25lb gone for good! :)

1lb off this week... Bit disappointed as I've been super good, but better than nothing I guess :) 19.1 .... Desperately want to get into the 18s next week! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thank you :) I soooo need to do it... Nearing the end of day 1 back on plan, so far so good.... Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm in desperate need of some motivation! At the start of the year (weighing in at 21st 2.75lb) I set myself some targets with the idea of getting down to about 13st by May 2015..... Some of them I reached easily, some not so easy... for the last month I've been playing around with the same few...

2lb gain for me today, I'm not too annoyed though, as it's ** week, and I've eaten like a mad woman this week! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Good luck! :) Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I did it! Weighed in today, and in the last week I have lost the 6lb I gained over the previous 3 weeks! :D:D Taking me back down to 19st exactly.... 1 more lb to go before I'm in the 18's.... Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

As some of you may have read previously, I started SW in January this year weighing in at 21st 2.75lb ... I had some great weeks with 4lb losses, and some not so great weeks with 0.5lb losses... I got to week 22 (5th June) and I just totally lost motivation, prior to that I'd had a month of...

Thank you :) my book says the same but I wasn't sure if it had changed..... Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Does anyone know if Heinz Macaroni Cheese (200g low fat) is high syn value please? I have my book at home (no longer going to classes) but wasn't sure if the value had changed.... Thanks :)

My turning point was on the 23rd November 2013. My adorable blonde haired, blue eyed niece turned one. She is just the most gorgeous well behaved little girl and luckily for me she is head over heels in love with me, wherever we are, whatever she is doing as soon as I enter the room she beams...

Wahey! I hadn't seen that! Although I like the Honey Monster Stix, I do prefer Alpen, so I'm pleased about that! :)

Same here! Mine had a yellow sticker on the shelf saying 'Reduced to clear - discontinued' .... Am hoping that is not true as that'll be two nice cereal bars out of the question! (Alpen and Honey Monster)

​Bad few weeks for me.... Anxiety is through the roof, meaning I have absolutely no motivation to watch what I'm eating, I just want chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!... Last week I had a gain of 1 1/2lb taking me up from 19st 0.25lb to 19st 1.75lb .... We went to Brussels for 3 days...

I'm in the same boat as you guys... since starting SW in January I have pretty much cut bread out entirely, because I can't have as much as I'd like I've gone for none at all... I've lost 2st 2 1/2lb so far... I've recently started having a bit of bread as a treat if I have a good weigh in...

Post removed.

A 2 1/4lb loss for me this week.... It's coming off slowly but surely! Started at 21stone 2 3/4lb... Have lost 2stone 2 1/2lb in 20 weeks.... Now weighing in at 19stone 1/4lb .... Hopefully I'll have a loss next week and I'll be moving to the '18s' ...

Well done!! That's a fab loss!

Well, this last week has been sooooo busy! SW has gone out the window a little!... Since last wednesday I've had Chinese, Nandos, Mc Donalds breakfast, dinner at my parents, been to Miller & Carter and eaten a ridiculous amount of chocolate! I was doing so well at ignoring the box full of...

Ok - so I'm weighing in a day early... (I dont think it should make too much of a difference will it??...) I have to be in work early tomorrow and as I struggle to get in on time as it is, I thought I'd weigh in today in case I forget!... Good news... I've reached my 2 stone loss!! :D Still a...

If I don't reach my 2st this week I'll eat my own arm! I've had food poisoning since the weekend and have not been eating at all, I'm hoping there's at least a small bonus to being that sick! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Still pretty rubbish tbh :( Am drowning my sorrows eating a creme egg at the moment! LOL oops!! When I got home tonight I went back through my food diary and looked at what I ate on the weeks that I had good losses... On one of the weeks I had between 12-16 syns every day and I lost 3lb...

Another cr*p weigh in for me today.... 1lb off! What on earth is going on, I weighed myself monday and I'd lost 1 1/2lb but now only 1lb after being good all week?! :( I was doing so well up until week 12 (currently week 16) with good losses of between 2-4lb... and now I'm lucky if I get a loss...

Just back from 4 days with my family and the in-laws... Have eaten as well as I can for the last few days considering neither household are SW friendly... Hopped on the scales this morning to assess the damage... 1 1/2lb off! Woooo! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Gutted today, was hoping for a 3lb loss to get my to my 2stone mark.... Have eaten super healthy last few days, gym twice... Get on the scales today... Nothing!! I've been soooo bloated last few days, so I'm hoping that'll disappear and I'll have a good loss?! Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

Well done!! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Small loss for me today... 1 1/4lb... * week started yesterday and I'm bloated like mad, so I'm hoping that's the reason for such a small loss... Only 2 3/4lb to go until I've lost 2stone... Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Haha they certainly do! Thanks for saying you can see it too, was starting to feel a bit deflated that I couldn't & nobody has said anything to me about looking different etc... Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Am a bit dubious about posting this.. (Hate my photo!) But made this earlier in a *really* interesting meeting I was in at work... Top two photos are me on the 28th & 31st December 2013... Then me a couple of weeks back and last week... Can't yet see a huge difference... But according to my...

That's what I thought after the naff bit of tray bake cake! Change of plans for dinner tonight, going to try the all day breakfast omelette! Syn free I think, so it will make up for the lack of willpower earlier! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Cake cake cake everywhere I look today! Then our customers bought in a 4.5kg Toblerone for us! I've cracked slightly.... I had a bit of Toblerone about the size of a £2 coin and an inch square of tray bake cake..(which actually wasn't very nice!) Must resist the donuts/brownies/caramel...

I've tried various recipes over the last few months... Most have not been as nice as expected (with the exception of chicken goujons using smash) ... However I've just made the pizza topped chicken & it was lovely!! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hiya! I'm sure you'll do fine, you seem to be losing lbs fairly quickly! (Quicker than me anyway!) A much better weigh in for me today.... I put 2lb on over the last two weeks, purely by not drinking enough water and going hungry rather than snacking on fruit.... But this week (even though...

A much better weigh in for me today.... I put 2lb on over the last two weeks, purely by not drinking enough water and going hungry rather than snacking on fruit.... But this week (even though I was away for 4 days staying with family and a trip to Paris) I have managed to shift 4 1/4lb! So...

Will power, will power, will power... Or if all else fails, a bag of french fries is only 4.5 syns! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Haha! I never know which result to take?! If I take the lowest it might not be accurate, but of course nobody would want to take the highest! Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Does anyone else get a different result each time they stand on the scales consecutively? I stood on them this morning to see how I was doing (no weigh in for me on Thursday just gone as I was in Paris) and I was quite shocked by the number (in a good way, was expecting it to be higher!) so...

Thanks :) Good luck to you too!! Today albeit I had a 1lb gain I've got a cute blouse on that I haven't been able to fit in for about 2years!.. Am quite pleased :) Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

1lb gain for me this week... I think I know where I've gone wrong though... Haven't been drinking enough & definitely not enough 1/3 superfree... Its my first gain, so I'm not beating myself up about it.. I'm just going to make sure I get back on it 100%!! Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

Well done! Nobody has losses every single week, so don't let it get you down too much! I had my first 'no loss' week last week too, I stayed the same. Lost 1 1/2lb this week taking me to a total of 18 1/4lb gone & into the '19s' bracket... We can do this - just have to keep motivated...

Hi all, Hope it's ok for me to join this thread?.. I started SW 9 weeks ago today & to date I've lost 18 1/4lb.. My start weight was 21.2 3/4lb and I'm hoping that by next January I'll have lost 108lb. (Averaging 2lb a week for a year, although I know it's not going to always work like...

4lb - well done!! :) As everyone's said, the more the merrier - well done on your loss so far! :)

Weigh in day number 9 for me today.... and it's 1 1/2lb gone! Not as great as previous weeks, but beats the 0 I lost last week! That takes me up to 18 1/4lbs lost in 9 weeks... 21.2 3/4lb down to 19.12 1/2lb... I'll still post in here but I'm now off to introduce myself to the '19s' thread.. :)

Thanks C.T & Hip... Means a lot to have a bit of encouragement! Am so back on it now, have been away for the weekend & I ate soooo low syn (apart from the creme egg I won on the 2p machine at the arcades... But I'd earnt that ;) Ha-ha!) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Feeling totally demotivated... My size 20 skinny fit jeans (Dorothy Perkins) are so baggy me... Bought a pair of size 18 (stretchy!) from Matalan yesterday & I literally can't get them over my knees! :( :( Don't feel like I can see a difference in myself at all, I know I've only lost 16 3/4lb...

Stayed the same this week :( ... The first time in 8 weeks I've not had a loss & I'm SO annoyed with myself... My hearts not been in it this week, I've generally felt quite rubbish & I know I've not eaten enough, drunk enough & had at least 1/3 super free with each meal... I've had no desire...

Starting in the right mindset will do wonders for you - I'm sure you'll reach your targets :) I started on the 3rd January, weighing 21st 2 & 3/4lb ... Hoping to lose 108lb over the year... So far, I've had 7 weigh ins & I've lost 16 3/4lb ... So if I carry on like this I should reach my...

So I know I've lost weight... But I can't see it at all... Put my jeans on today (casual Friday at work)... Didn't think much of it, just caught sight of myself in the mirror - they're so baggy! My freshly washed (usually fitted) skinny jeans look like I've worn them for a month & stretched the...

3lb off for me this week :D That's 11 3/4lb in 5 weigh ins... I've learnt this week that when I have days of using all my syns (and possibly a couple more) and using at least half my syns on the other days I get better losses! Variety is definitely key for me! I think my body gets complacent...

Well done :) That's roughly what I'm aiming for each month too... Lost 8 3/4lb this month... I've got my induction at the gym today at 4:30 - must motivate myself to go at least 3 times a week! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks hun.... My target for this year is actually to shift 108lb ... So averaging 2lb a week... Hoping I can do it! I've made myself this little chart to stick on the fridge at home & at certain points I'm going to treat myself to something lovely! So 5 1/4 lb to go before I get a new purse...

Ahhh ok.... Thanks C.T :)

Hi all! Is it a myth about using all your syns? I've read before that if you don't use your 15 syns a day your weight loss will slow down... I'm so bad at this! Not for any reason in particular, just because the majority of my meals don't have syns in & I'm usually so full on that, plus HE's...

Was so good this weekend! Out for dinner with friends at Miller & Carter Friday night... Chargrilled chicken, jacket potato & side salad.. Tomatoes & mushrooms on toast for brunch on Saturday, fruit & mint tea in the afternoon after shopping...Out for a curry with the in-laws Saturday night...

Thank you :) I'm definitely sticking with it! I've started doing yoga (at home) 3 times a week so far, it's hard work! I'm hoping that once I've lost a few more pounds I'll have some confidence back & can get down the gym! I weighed myself again today, usually I weigh myself Thursday...

Well done :) I'm trying to lose 108lb this year (started SW on the 2nd Jan) ... It's hard work but I'm hoping I can do it! Had my 3rd weigh in this morning... only lost 1/2lb this week (not so good considering I've stuck to plan) but that's 6.5lb I've lost in 3 weeks... (not as much as I'd...

Hi Bels, Did you find that although the first 8 weeks were smaller losses it then sped up? I had a great first week (4lb), an ok second week (2lb) but only lost 1/2lb this week even though I've totally stuck to plan.... Having one of those days where I'm thinking I'm never going reach my...

It is so hard when you don't get the result that you'd hope for! Still, a small loss is better than a gain! :) (I should listen to my own advice Ha-ha all morning I've been sitting in work stewing on the fact that I don't think I'll have a loss this week!)

Thanks C.T ... Hopefully I'll be a bit happier Thursday morning!!

Hopped on the scales for a midweek WI this morning (usual WI day in Thursday)... Doesn't look like I've lost anything this week... Gutted as I've stuck to plan & even really good!

2 rich teas (4 syns) 2 mini breadsticks (1 syn) 14g frosties (2.5 syns)

Thanks Kay :) I made these last night - I wasn't a fan of them... My bf enjoyed them though! It was like warm mash potatoes with pizza topping... I was expecting the consistency of the potatoes to change when you dry fry it... Never mind!

I have just been looking through my SW '30 minute meal' recipe book & there's a pizza called 'Skillet pizza' but it only shows the syn value for green days.... I can't see anything particularly bad, but do you think the pizza base will be free on EE? The base is made of: Boiled & then grated...

Hiya, Can someone clarify for me the syns for 100% chicken breaded goujons... I know obv chicken is free, but I can't work out how to syn the breadcrumbs... Thanks

Thanks :)

Am I right in thinking that the Onken fat free natural yoghurt is free on EE? I assumed so... but saw a post elsewhere saying that the fat free flavoured ones are syns....

Possibly a daft question.... but to subscribe to thie topic, do I simply post a reply, or do I have to click something?

Thanks guys :) Have just used 9 syns on a subway for lunch... Tasted amazing but now I'm wishing I'd stuck to a salad & saved the syns!

2nd weigh in today.... 2lb loss this week, not as good as last weeks (4lb) but it's my ** week & we've had dinner out/at friends 3 times this week!

Last time I was on SW and going to the classes I was told to expect a gain on my ** week....so I'll be right chuffed if I do manage to lose a few lbs this week, especially after a good loss last week!... I'm in that mindset at the moment of I'm eating too much.... my bf is really really...

Thank you :) I think that's what I'm going to do... I've decided that when I've lost a stone (or maybe 1.5 stone - depending how optimistic I feel!) I'm going to treat myself to a new purse! (Already have my eyes on one!) It's my ** week this week.... I cracked yesterday and had a creme egg...

Hiya, I've been loitering on here for a while now.... so thought I'd bite the bullet and post! I did slimming world online about 3 years ago and managed to drop a nice few lb's.... (Went from size 18-20 jeans to size 14-16) All was great until I moved in with my bf and got a little too...
