You’ll not get a great deal of help encouraging slimming world here, this is a forum for an alternative, and in most peoples here opinion, a better option to slimming world. If you set on sticking to SW then you’d find better help on their message boards. My advise would be similar to the above which is to quit, save your…

A- Cup over here now as well, it sucks!! But it’s better than being fat! My boyfriend tells me I best not loose my bum as well or I’ll look like a boy! Lucky for him I have a huge *kitten* that doesn’t appear to be going anywhere! 😂🙈

Thanks guys. I’m going to go along and check it out and decide from there. I don’t think CrossFit is as much of a ‘thing’ here in the UK as what is is in the US so hopefully some of the bad traits of encouraging over training/ poor form which lead to higher levels of injury haven’t come across the pond with it. I did get a…

Oh wow. I kind of wish I’d never started this thread and now I’m really doubting if I go to the induction tomorrow or not 😕

Thanks again for everyone’s comments. I’m most certainly not looking to achieve anything too crazy, just loose a little more weight and begin to gain some strength and hopefully start to see a change in my bodyshape to avoid that ‘skinny-fat’ look! And 100% no steriods for sure! 😂 My first session is Tuesday so I’ll report…

Thank you SO much for all taking the time out of your day to give such detailed replies. They have been very helpful. It looks like it’s going to be something really different to what I’m used to and something I’m either going to love or hate, but I’m ready for a change and I really am a beginner when it comes to strength…

And most of them are not actually 10 calories! Most are below 5, I love them!

That includes your tdee up to that point in the day so sounds plausible. I wake up having already burned 400 calories :-)

Thank you! Didn’t want to add it and end up with something bizarre!

Feel free to add me!

Love this idea! Well done to all for you’re achievements! Here’s mine for today! 1. 2nd day completing my food diary 2. I ran 7k today in 50 mins for the first time! 3. I’m under my calorie goal for the day and have the first of some extra exercises calories banked for an event I’m going to at the weekend that I’m going to…

^ everything they said!

Thanks for all your replies! I could do, depending how big they are. I'm backpacking so cannot take anything that isn't absolutely essential!

I'm on 1210 and my diary is open ( I do eat back exercise calories- either all or some) And I also only eat 1000 on some weekdays for an extra treat at the weekend. Feel free to add me as well :) x

Thanks for your super quick responses! I am loosing on this and not starving myself etc, and never go below 1000. like another poster said its so I am able to enjoy myself a little more with friends of a weekend! Especially when my boyfriend is actually trying to gain weight it's a challenge! I wasn't worried but everyone…

lollipops! v. small admittedly but considering they can last ages they work for curing the sweet craving, I buy a bag of 10 and at 50 cals each they can last a while.

I'm 4ft 11, lost 11lbs, around another 20lb or so to go. Feel free to add me :-)

My DVD arrived on Friday, am starting tomorrow so count me in :-) Feel free to add me :-)

Thanks for this! Sounds stupidly obviously now but I've not even thought about this! I work away from home staying in hotels regularly so I have to eat out a lot (part of the reason I've managed to put on about 15lbs in a year!) and some menus/ websites only state total calories and don't break down the macros. Guess I…

Thanks all! I am defiantly more interested in overall health than just the weight loss. I actually weigh more than it looks like I do (if that makes any sense!) and am not desperately unhappy with my weight at all. I've also given up smoking this year and just overall want to live a healthier, better life! I actually…

Thanks for your speedy replies!! To be fair tomorrow's 6% is the lowest it has ever been, weekly I average out to approx 18% which I know is still too low. I want to focus on overall good health/ balance, espically if I am going to start lifting as I don't want to damage my body in anyway. Think I'll have to look into…

I'm a huge fan of the m and s fuller for longer and count on us ranges. I'm not usually a fan of pre packed meals but they have great variety, filling meals and low calories- and some tasty desserts! A lot of people will talk about how processed food is bad but in busy lives is sometimes nessessary! Only downfall is they…

Thanks all for your advice!
