i must admit, when i first joined sw in july 2011, i lost just over 3.5st. then i found mfp! got confused with the calories and couldnt understand why eating 'good' on sw resulted in going 'over' on calories! i ended up focusing too much on mfp & quit sw! doing mfp alone didnt work! in 6months i ended up putting 3st back…

DO NOT do the calorie thing if you are doing SW! I made this mistake, in 2011/12 i lost 4st with my local sw group, then found mfp - thought that with mfp i could do it alone without paying the costs of sw! i was wrong! soon th weight crept on and i had gained 3st! come feb 2013, i went back to group with my tail between…

You sound like me!! I joined SW in June 2011, lost 4stone, quit in September 2012, put on 3stone now decided to rejoin and stick at it! Went back last Thursday, had my first weigh in last night and was shocked to see that I'd lost 7.5lbs and got my half stone award!!!! Losing that amount has given me the boost to keep…

What iv done is set my calorie intake to the recommended daily allowance for women (2000) so there's no worry of going over cals, and then iv changed my food diary names from breakfast dinner etc to that of the SW diary, free foods superfree etc. and I just fill it out as I would the SW food diary, ignoring the calories. I…

nope!

Iv change the layout of my food diary on here to resemble the slimming world diary, iv added you on here so you can see, then in the notes section I write te number of syns iv had so I can keep track

Whats his is yours and whats yoursis yours too! Your the boss and make sure he knows that!!

Spotting is completely normal, some people have an implantation bleed around 4wks hence why many don't realise they are pregnant until about 8wks as they mistake the implantation bleed for a period. If the blood is dark or brown then it's old blood and nothing of concern, it's our body getting rid of old lining. But if…

I kinda feel you here, I started off at 221lbs (5'2") a size UK 16/18. I'm now 174lbs, 47lbs lost and I still seem to be a size 16. My bottom half is 14 but my hips and belly bulge over and 14tops show all my lumps & bumps so I feel conifer hiding them in a 16. I use a tape measure to check my measurements every month and…

Madonna - like a virgin... Let em say we're crazy, I don't care about that, put your hand in my hand baby, don't ever look back

I'm the same! I have like this apron flap that hangs down, it's always been there! It's not reducing either, but I am finding that inside is losing if you know what I mean!? Like the inside fat is going and now I just have the skin! I don't know how else to explain it lol!!

1993 Peugeot 106 Key Largo 1.0 in blue - i loved it!!

I think my usernames pretty good at keeping em away :)

Iv had a few too many!

Last time I checked it was me... Or at least I hope it's me!!

I'm 5'2 and in June 2011 when I started my weightloss journey I weighed in at 221lbs, I'm now 177lbs. I hope to get down to 140lbs then depending on how I look/feel depends on where I go from there

Thank you both :)

Thanks for all the advice, like you say, I've still got a bit to go yet, maybe this last 37lbs is the belly hang!? Who knows!? I may be posting again in a few months!!

Stoke-on-Trent here! I'm looking for supportive UK friends too! Add me please :) I've added all above :)

WTF!!?? We are all here for the same reason, for the help and support of each other thru our weight journeys, you categorising people into hot or fugly categories is beyond surreal! I ain't hot, I ain't ugly, I ain't perfect, IM ME! I'm sorry if I don't qualify as 'hot enough' to be in your group, but to be frank, you…

i was really hoping there was ways without surgery, i dont know if i could go thru that! Iv had a c-section and i do sometimes wonder if its anything like that!? as with that i had no pain and i was fine within days, but i dont know!?

i also dont get periods because i have the implant, but i do get all the symtoms, im not a fan of chocolate yet that time of the month i need it, and i mean NEED it!! im a b***h to everyone unless i get junk! and i always put 1 to 2lbs on around that time aswel!! i dont know if this is caused by the bloating/water or the…

i once saw on a program that the more you excersise the better you will find going to the loo. something to do with its not just our muscles and things that are getting a workout but so are our internal organs causing them to work more efficiently! I always feel the urge to go to the loo after a workout! its like all the…

you are doing fantastic! keep up the great work!

i know where your coming from! although im a little 5ft 2in and so i look twice my weight because of how i carry it, mines all in the belly and hips! iv decided for now that im going to get to 140lbs, im 177lbs now. then im going to see from there how i look/feel. iv had a look at the BMI calculater and that puts me just…

my dress was a 24 (UK) :( even tho i was a size 18, if that wasnt bad enough, i have side on photos where all my back is hanging over at the back of the dress and my arms are huge!! my face aswel is really big compared to now! When i met my husband 10yrs ago i was a size 10! it just shows what hapiness, love and…

In all honesty, my motivation is looking back at my wedding photos. I'd never had a problem with my weight, my husband loved me for me, we got married 4th June 2011, and on that day I felt amazing, my dress was perfect and I couldn't of been happier... Then the wedding photos came back a few weeks later, I was disgusted by…

I have nexplanon inserted so I don't see a period either yet I still get the symptoms, on which is bloating and water retention, looking thru my weight log I seem to have a gain of 2 to 3lbs every last/first week of the month! It's a bit of a pain really as sometimes it feels I'm 2 steps forward then 1 step back all the…

Your a completely new man!! Well done you!!
