Hi!! I did slimming world a year ago, and the progress in my photo is just from a month and a half of that and weights. Doesn't look like much but it was about 12lbs. I love the eating system. Anyway, I'm starting up again, unofficially because I can't afford the membership and honestly it didn't do much for me except…

Yep! If I had it my way I wouldn't have told my partner either, but living together makes that impossible. I did manage to do 6 weeks of Weight Watchers without him knowing before we moved in though! Similar to many, I only mention it if people notice or they ask why I don't want the free muffin basket. It's why I need…

You can expect it to be slow because getting to 100lbs is usually not natural. You're very petite, but 100lbs puts you as very very small so your body will not drop the standard 2lbs a week people who have say 50lbs to lose will. You seem to be doing it right but you don't need to train twice a day and if you stop having…

This isn't cleavage. Cleavage comes from boobs squished together peeking out of a dress. These are boobs, with the dress peeking out of them. Her breast size has nothing to do with it. Would you like to hug your son on his wedding day and have his bare penis pressed against you? Just saying, it's awkward.

Thank you :):) My mother has severe nerve damage in her lower body and can barely walk, but we had a treadmill for a short time because she could hold on and walk at her own pace. You wouldn't believe how judgemental the world is of someone walking slowly outside if they have a disability, so it's a safe place.
-
The people ragging on someone for walking on treadmills get me. If they're taking up so much of YOUR treadmill time, why do you need it? Can't you run outside just like they should walk outside? (PS I hate runners who think running up and main drag during rush hour is a good idea - stick to the rural areas or at least…

Food.

It's simple but this is the perfect way to put it. Don't think I ever got the difference 'til now.
-
Lot of variation here eh? $22 bi-weekly off my paycheque - we have a corporate deal with Goodlife. Never had cheap memberships.
-
By now everyone's told you it's nothing to worry about, and they're right. I just want to say it was good reading the thoughts of someone who thinks similar to me. I've lost 5lbs in two weeks and committed to doing more, but yesterday was a special occasion and I ate the most disgusting food imaginable (egg, sausage,…

I haven't weighed myself since June - I really only do it when a) I'm on a diet or b) I have a physical and my doctor practically has to put a gun to my head to get my weight. I started a diet last Tuesday and decided I didn't want to weigh myself until tomorrow just because I didn't want to see how much I had gained (I…

People make fun of my bubblegum pop music selection but nothing beats it when working out (which is the only reason I have it on my iTunes) - Britney is effective.
-
Whoa! Proof in the pudding right here! Great job, you look fantastic. 2lb gain suits you ;)
-
Hey! Awesome reason. Not into Anime myself, but just wanted to say! I'm definitely looking forward to going to my Con next year in my costume and hopefully looking the part by then. I just remember a guy this past year making a smart-*kitten* comment about an average-sized Mystique: "It's Mystique before she went on Weight…

Funny how more people are posting about this now. I started Tuesday and love it so far! Add me if you like I don't know about the UK site but on the US site there is one under "My Weight Loss Tools" that I use every day. They want you to track your food so there must be one somewhere.
-
Like your style, Amy! I did think of that. Both quite honestly. I've just always done ab exercises and I like doing them. Thanks for the tips!
-
Already added obviously, but welcome! Have a dreadful sweet tooth myself. We can do this!
-
Just started yesterday. I can't wrap my brain around how it works to be honest. I'm not going crazy with the portions or anything, it's just nice to be able to eat like a real human; I have a client lunch this afternoon and restaurant food can be stressful for things like WW or MFP but I like that I'll be able to order…
-
Already added some SWers but would love to see me! Just starting today - sadly, no groups here. Add me if you're on Slimming World :)
-
Amazing job!! That 16lbs really made a difference :)
-
Not sure actually. Guess it's just time. You go out for a weekend and stuff yourself silly until Monday and then do it again a few more times. Just adds up!
-
This is really helpful -thanks! I'm going to start Stronglifts today. That Starting Strength book is actually pretty hard to find here it seems, but if I'm honest with myself, I won't read an entire book on this. I barely get through my Womens Health. I'll find an equal resource online for form and technique (if anyone has…
-
*bump* That got lost in the threads pretty quickly. No one has any advice to offer?
-
I used to do them, as did my family. They're pretty good, but sometimes you just wanna smack sweet little Leslie in the face. I would just record it as walking like you have. What was the burn? Walking in general burns a surprising amount of calories, especially after an hour. What the videos lack in using body weight,…

I got this. Former boyfriend. I was 18 and secretly very self-conscious about gaining a couple pounds (ie. finishing puberty). I'm sitting on the couch, he was on the floor watching TV. He turns around and squeezes my thigh with both hands, pretending to growl; "Look at this leg. I could just eat this leg. If the world…

Heh, no interview yet no, just sent out the resume. A friend was telling me how she had been unemployed for such a long time that she just got fed up and followed up with "I'm coming in for an interview on this day, be ready for me", sent it several times, and then showed up on that day. She interviewed, didn't hear…
-
RIGHT?? Friend of mine started a week after I did and he made more than me!
-
I want to say the one I'm sitting at right now, but I'm sitting in front of a computer, so it can't be that bad compared to others. Probably Wal-Mart cashier. I used to stock shelves but I liked that - organizing and not talking to anyone. Being a cashier is as bad as people say. "Can you put this in that bag? Don't put…
-
Yep! Every Friday is pizza night and I waste no time. Other than that, my weekends may not be perfect but I try to at least work out if I cheat more than one day.
-
This! I felt like I was wasting my time. I only lost 1lb a week for a few weeks and then nothing, and I was constantly depriving myself! It just felt like a lot of work for nothing. Glad you can just be happy and focus on what your body needs :)
