Now I have a craving for chips! Have to say SW is great if you're a meat eater - unlimited lean chicken, trimmed chicken, ham, steak etc

What did you do in the end? My husband's a proper meat & potatoes man so I find things like steak & jacket potatoes are a good choice - I just have a small steak or a piece of fish/chicken fried in Frylight before I do his. Roast chicken & Slimming World chips (you can google the recipe, they're...

It's really interesting to see here how many people are suffering with depressive illnesses and weight gain. I'm bipolar so it's more difficult for me to know whether my eating habits are linked to my (permanent) condition or are just a part of my make-up. I know I'm an emotional eater but I...

I think you did really well not to binge, that's probably the hardest thing to avoid being an emotional eater - one biscuit turns in to two and soon you've scoffed the whole packet. I've just this minute eaten a fun-size Cadburys Fudge and, of course, now I want a whole load more! The cold...

That's really interesting, my husband used Paul McKenna's confidence CD and said it worked really well. He had a bad time at work a while back and really lost his ability to deal with people and lead meetings (he had a total b**** for a manager - she was our friend to begin with then went psycho...

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many SSRIs which have weight loss as a side effect! I was on Lithium (a mood stabiliser) for most of last year - you've a 50/50 lose/gain on that. Guess which my trusty bod went for! I knit in the evenings to keep my hands busy, it seems to be especially...

Hi Lucy - my husband is the same 'I did really well today, only one Twix!'. He's one of those people who can eat what he likes and stay pretty skinny, just a bit of spread in the middle if he drinks too much. Lucky bugger!

5lb in four days is amazing! Well done. I'm always far too tempted by the scales and it's easy to kid yourself you're doing well if you hop on in the morning when you're normally weighing yourself at night. That said I don't think any amount of cheating could shave 5lb off ;) Hey Kazz! Yes...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like the meetings - all those people talking about what they couldn't eat just made me hungry :( I'm on day two of the re-diet and have managed to stick to the plan without using all my syns...tummy's rumbling but I remember last time the first week was...

Hello, I'm new to Minimins and this seemed like the best place to start! Last year I lost 4st on Slimming World, reaching my target in March. I immediately stopped going to meetings as I always found them difficult (I have bipolar/social anxiety which makes anything like that difficult!) and...

Hi Calamity, I've just joined too and your message was the first one I came across & it really struck a chord. I too lost a a fair bit of weight - 4st on slimming world - but due to personal problems, not least being bipolar and suffering from social anxiety, it's started creeping back on. I...
