OOooooh flossy I thought I was the only person in the world who was allergic to onions!!! Every time we eat out I pick all the onions out of my meal (that were not in the description) by the time I'm ready to eat my meal is always freezing!! It is so much easier to make my own meals and SW is the best eating plan for me as all ingredients can be at your own discretion!!

none of the breakfast suggestions are any good as i am also sensitive to oats and i don't like anything else that they suggest. everyone at work thinks i am a fussy eater but they don't understand what these things do to me. i'm at work at the moment and the chef did lasagne for staff dinner so i couldn't have any. i suppose that's one way of losing weight but i'll probably end up being ill.

I am a fussy eater too! I tend to have either 2 weetabix or a plate of bacon for my breakfast. I am taking a tin of Heinz ravioli in to work for my dinner as all other brand ravioli has onions in. 2 mullerlight yoghurts for my breaks and bottled water which I fill up throughout the day at the machine for free. Tea will probably be slimmers chips or pasta. stayed the same this week better than putting on

Hi, well we had two bbq's the weekend so I was eating burgers and fried onions, have to say they were very nice though. Scales seem to be stuck at the moment, really need to be good this week. As the weathers been nice i've been wearing stuff I last wore when we were on our holidays and although I'm nearly a stone heavier, they actually fit! I don't understand it, but I keep thinking maybe if I manage to lose the extra stone then when we go away my clothes will be so much more comfy after i've been in the sun. Nothing worse than a tight waistband on a tummy thats been in the sun all day! Plus being all inclusive I have to allow a bit more room too!

lordy, well done for not putting any on this week i had weetabix for breakfast this morning, not sure whats for lunch then for tea i've got a low fat chicken lasagne. Can't have pudding as i let myself have a few treats over the weekend, but there is a mullerlight if I really feel the need.

i'm not a big lover of breakfast cereals so i usually don't have breakfast. i know it's the most important meal of the day but when i'm on an early shift at work i don't really have time. i start work at 6.30am and i can't stomach food that early. i just have a tendency to pig out on sweets and crisps throughout the day. i also take alot of sugar in my decaff coffee. i don't think i really stand much chance of losing the weight if i carry on like that. no one at work thinks i am fat and i'm not seriously overweight, i've just put a bit more weight on than i feel comfortable with.

Well today I had 2 weetabix (Healthy B) as per usual for breakfast, I find this easier as you dont have to weigh it!! semi skimmed milk from Healthy A allowance and sweetener(free).
Lunch a tin of ravioli and a mullerlight.
Tea my sister made shepherds pie with quorn mince, potatoes and cheese on top. I had lots of water at work and lots of cups of tea at my mams.
Have chicken tikka with salad for sandwiches tomorrow at work in wholemeal wharburtons(small loaf) and more mullerlights!!
Abdominal cruncher out ready with mat for first thing in the morning before I go to work!! Only 5 weeks left til my hols

7 weeks till our holiday now and ideally i'd like to lose 8lb !

Weighed myself this morning and in all over the last two months i've lost 12lb and I do feel a lot better than I did, but to be totally pleased with myself when I'm sitting on the plane on my way to my holiday, that other 8lb needs to go!

Oh my god only 2 weeks today til we depart. I have lost 8lbs altogether and have managed to fit into size 12 bikini bottoms which is great but when I sit down my tummy is huge. I have been doing abdominal crunches none stop but nothing seems to be toning up my tummy. It has been nearly 2.5 years since having my son by cesaerean but I just dont seem to be able to tone this area up. Does anyone have any tips? I know nothing will get rid of it in 2 weeks but it would help!

I've been reading all your diet stories over the past months and kept meaning to join in but never got round to it. I am a fan of Slimming World as I lost over 2 stones a few years ago. Unfortunately I seem to put on a few pounds every holiday and Christmas so most of it has gone back on. I have been following the plans on my own but this time it seems to be taking much longer and I often give up for a week or two and then start again. I have a copy of the new Extra easy plan but I can't get my head around mixing Green and Red on the same day!!!

Well I was getting nowhere so I restarted Atkins diet again (I lost 2st previously on it!) I was 13st 10lb when I started it 3 weeks ago, I'm now 13st 3lbs, so half a stone in 3 weeks, although i've had a few carb days which have obviously slowed the weight loss down, including today, as i sit here typing this eating a packet of minstrels lol!

I've got 45 weeks til my holiday and 4 stone to lose, so thats an average of 1lb a week, easyyyy!

I need to get back into my weight loss as over the last few months I have gone to pot and with me quitting smoking 4 weeks ago I have put on an extra stone , I keep thinking is it worth quitting but deep down I know it is and I should get my eating habits back to normal, its so hard when there is a chinese straight opposite where I live.

So I'm determined to stick with it for my hols next year and get that weight off

Maureen, my mam and I have just been saying the same thing about SW we lost so much the first time we done it and have done it year after year since but can never seem to get with the plan as much as we did the first time. I also dont understand the new extra easy plan! How come you can mix all those foods and still lose weight when you couldn't mix them before At the moment my sister and I are doing slimfast which I started on Tuesday and seem to be doing ok! We came back from Cyprus 12th July and I had stayed the same which I was pleased with but we are going back at the end of September so I would like to try for a stone off at the least

No more summer hols to diet for, but i've been swimming at 7am every morning for the past four weeks and i've lost just over 7Lbs so far ..... let's hope i can keep it up this time!!

I have been a bad Miss Pink - I have had a few days off work, and unfortunatley I have eaten far too much and diet has gone out the window. So I am totally ashamed and need to get back on track, not going away this year but I am next April so need to kick start now.

Holding head in shame

Ive just rejoined the gym and have 8 weeks until Thailand. I am a size 10 but I am only 5ft 1 and really need to tone up, I am currently 9 stone (ish!) and would like to lose about half a stone.
I am going with my other half and his mum and stepdad- his mum is a size 8 and looks great in a bikini
The trouble is that I love my food and I am also quite lazy!! I find the most effective way of making a difference is an exercise class as it makes me work hard, if I work out on my own I dont push myself hard enough. Now I just need to find the motivation to actually go to the class!!

Gone off rails BIG style opver last 12 months. Go my holidays 1 week today and I'm heavier than I was when expecting
Don't know why I do it, it's not even grub neither, it's wine

Hi Joolz. I thought your post was one of mine :rofl. Wine is my biggest downfall . So, I'm off on holiday on Sunday looking like I've eaten someone :cry. Oh well, I can try and get in shape for Christmas!!

Well I go to Rhodes in October so when I come back from summer hols I am going to try and cut down on vino and shape up a bit.

Hello! I used this topic post a year ago. Since then i have manged to lose 1 and half stone more and in total over 6 stones.... BUT just of late have manged to gain 8 pounds back!!
