Well i've finally managed to get the scales moving in the right direction I have now lost 8lb of my target of 50. I am using the spreadsheet that someone had set up in the slimming world section that predicts when you will reach certain milestones, at my current rate of loss I will hit my team...

I totally understand where you're coming from stackhead, on the slimming world forum I have seen a lot of people who call themselves repulsive etc and they currently weigh what I want to weigh at the end of my journey! Marie makes a good point about people having their own body issues and when...

Well done to all on their losses. I'm still here and still hanging on, just about! I had gained 5lb but managed to get that back off again so my weight loss on the list is the correct one. Hoping to lose tomorrow but realistically its more likely a sts as I just have not had my head in it...

Wow well done everyone on your losses! I had no weigh in this week as we were on holiday, scales at home were showing a 4lb gain when we got back and managed to reduce that to a 2lb gain now. Hopefully by Mondays official weigh in I will have turned that to a small gain or a STS but we have two...

Well done lolly and britney!

0.5lb off this week for me. Hoped for more as I started swimming but then remembered that I ate cake and bread and chocolate so I think I should be thankful for the half! Can someone update me please as I am on my phone

Just been swimming for the first time in about 5 years, Dolly Rocker how did you manage 50 lengths?? I hope it was the baby pool you were swimming in? I did 10 which I was super proud of as I felt like I was going to sink to the bottom after the first 4, I got out and my legs and arms were...

I love this group. Everytime I think of eating something unhealthy I think of not reaching my goal or having to reduce my green number and increase my red and it soon keeps me on track! Well done everyone on the losses today x

Wow! Well done on all of the amazing losses!

Thanks chezz and wow jayde! Great loss!

Hello to all of the newbies! Just been to weigh in and lost 3lb! Very happy with that but worried that as I was not super good this week that it might catch up with me next week. Here's to another week and hopefully another loss. GO TEAM 50!! Could someone update my green number please?

Well done everyone! I'm going to dread putting up my weight loss on Monday as I wont be able to compete with these amazing numbers! Hubby and I are having a very rare night out tonight as well so I dont want to be too much of a spoilsport saying i'm not drinking that or eating that etc so will...

The Christmas ticker seemed a great idea so I jumped on the bandwagon! Just spent ages looking for something suitably Christmassy, its a shame you cant burn calories by mindlessly trawling the internet. Hope you all have a great day, I am off work today so avoiding the kitchen cupboards, off to...

I'd love to join this challenge, you all seem so friendly and inspiring! I would also like to lose 50lb before Christmas, my weigh in day is Monday.

Hi, Ive just started slimming world this week and weighed in at 18 stone 9 so i'd love to join this group. Hopefully none of us will be here for long!

Just started back with Leslie today after a whole month off with an infection and antibiotics. Its amazing how quickly you get unfit again! I just did a mile today as I didnt want to push myself too hard after such a long break so the key word for this week is consistency! Just going to try and...

Thanks madmuppet, the cold I had last week has turned into an infection so i'm on antibiotics and feeling pretty rubbish. Didnt exercise at all this week and didnt make Boots to weigh in this morning as I was awake half the night sweating! Food has been mixed, havent felt like much but what I...

Congratulations Diva! I have a cold that seems to be turning into a sinus infection so i'm off the exercising for a few days until I recover. You have inspired me to try and push my walking even further next month though, I managed 60 miles in January so will see what I can achieve in February...

Yay madmuppet congrats on your 2 lb loss!! Sorry to hear your son is not well, good that you caught it early on though and I'm sure he'll be running round in no time! I shudder to think how the camera gets into a mans bladder but I hope its not as bad as I'm imagining!! Hope you have another...

wow madmuppet you're brave considering level 2 already! I am giving exercise a miss today, I've had a cold all week I pushed hard with the exercise on Friday and my heart rate went a bit wacky (according to my heart rate monitor) didnt go over my upper limit or anything but i could literally...

I'm aiming to lose 100lb. I've managed 8lb in the first 3 weeks so feeling pretty positive. I tend to lose very slowly, usually between 0.5 and 1lb per week so 8lb in 3 weeks feels like a massive achievement!

Weighed in and lost 3lb! so pleased, managed to achieve my January target of 7lb so thats great. Onwards and downwards next week.

Hi Diva Jope you dont mind me popping in! Your walking is amazing, I've never really walked for exercise reasons before but have been doing walk at home and have managed 58 miles so far in January, I cant imagine walking as far as you have! I'll keep popping by so that I can get some...

Congratulations on your loss Shanna!! Here's to another great week

Well done mad muppet! I have shred and i've looked at it a couple of times! I did once make a good go of it but my fitness is rubbish and I dont want to put myself off so i'm working my way up to it (very very very slowly). Hope youre having a great day.

Congratulations! Thats a gresat loss, keep up the good work!

Hi Tylar, thanks for your kind wishes! Fingers crossed mad muppet that my hard work this week pays off. Had a bad few days, i've been struck down with a stinking cold and then had some issues with my sons school but so pleased the only food i turned to was a ripple and even then I had half with...

Hi Crystal, I do these walks every day, started towards the end of last year and found 1 mile hard going, now up to 4 miles most days. I love them Hope youre enjoying walking! Claire

Congrats on the loss madmuppet! I also dont have any words of advice regarding depression but you seem to be doing a great job of being supportive of your OH which is I guess all you can do. I think meal planning is definitely part of the key to success, I have found that exercise is making me...

Back at the exercise today. I've been out and bought a heart rate monitor in case i'm overeating due to mfp working out my calories as a guesstimate. Seems pretty good and hopefully will keep me motivated exercise wise. Hopefully I see SOMETHING good on the scales next week!

As predicted week 2 weigh in was crap! STS, at least it wasnt a gain i guess but i'm still a bit baffled. exercised every day and within my calories too. Oh well will keep going in the same fashion and hope it catches up at some point

I decided that I had been doing 3 miles a day and finding it not easy but not as difficult as it was at the beginning so I upped to 4 miles today. Ouch. That extra mile made a big difference to my pain and sweat factor. Please let the scales reflect my efforts tomorrow! I know that week 2 can...

Hi Nessa, I think a change can be good, thats why I switched from WW to calorie counting. I will look forward to following your new journey on slimming world Claire

Exercised again last night so have managed to pass my January goal of 30 miles already, very pleased! I think I will up to 50 for the month and see if I can make it to that

Hi Shanna, Just been reading through your thread and want to say congratulations on your amazing week 1 loss! Only a pound needed next week to get you in a new stone bracket so something else to look forward to! I will be following your journey with interest! Claire

Damn it i'm 34 and 3/4 so I best get a move on! Well done on your 2lb loss all in the right direction

Starting to bore myself with how virtuous i've been - just hope the scales reflect that on saturday!

Another good food day and also did more exercise. Long may this continue!

Congrats madmuppet, 6lb is a great loss and you managed that with a night out and a mcdonalds too! Here's hoping you have another great week

Thanks madmuppet! Another day on track today and some more exercise done so feeling good.Hopefully this continues for the rest of the week!

Your kids are beautiful and your daughter is the image of you!

Another day and finally got back to doing some exercise. OH has the flu so I've not managed to do any exercising since wednesday. I was determined to get back to it today and I did so another minor success! Food choices have not been great the last few days but still managed to stay within...

Well done on your weight loss! Half a stone gone already. Your weekend sounds great fun and you did so well resisting the mcdonalds. Cant wait to see your official weigh in result tomorrow!

Oh dear, sounds like you had a rubbish weekend! Hope all goes well for you when you go the dr's on Monday and hope your dad gets on ok at the hospital. Your weight watchers cooked breakfast sounded very tasty! Hope your week gets better

Week 1 weigh in and I lost 5lb. I'm over the moon with that as I'm a slow loser and I dont think I've ever lost that amount in a week! Just proves that my efforts this week were worthwhile and hopefully this is a spring board to great things!

Here to follow your journey and offer any support that I can. Well done on your weight loss. I had the same problem with falling apart burgers and also meatballs, I could never get them to stick. I have recently been making the ones from the Hairy Dieters recipe book and they hold together...

Hi madmuppet Your weekend sounds like fun! Its good to catch up with friends and sounds like you have a plan to stay on mostly on track whilst still enjoying yourself with friends. I am quite lucky in that my OH doesn't offer me tempting foods although he does still but them so I just have to...

Had poached egg and definitely didnt feel so hungry. Managed to get some more exercise in today so well under on the calorie count, fingers crossed it shows on the scales on Saturday morning.

Oo your dinner looks lovely again. I might start doing food pics, it may inspire me to make my food look more presentable!

Well day 4 and still pretty much on track. Eat a bit over my calories yesterday but going to do some extra exercise this evening to make up for it. I love my breakfasts and usually have poached egg on toast but decided to change things round a bit and have cereal the last two days. Not a good...

Hi Nessa, I'm here to subscribe to your diary. I've lurked around on the boards for ages but decided to be brave in 2013 and join in. Looking forward to following your progress and looking at more of your lovely food pics! Claire

Great weigh in result Spalmon - all heading in the right direction! Hope you're feeling well enough to get out walking again soon

Hi, I have lurked on these boards for sometime so I thought it was time to bite the bullet and create my own diary. I have followed weight watchers on and off for a while but have decided to go with calorie counting this time. I have lost 3 stone but put about a stone back on over the last few...
