Tucked away on a time-wasters site, I found this old advert

Has anyone tried it?

Hi Mrs Aniekwa, I have been on the Slimming World healthy eating plan since May this year and have lost 2 1/2 stones in weight.

I have found Zumba and a little pilates help lose the tummy. My tummy isn't flat but it isn't as big as it was. There is an exercise called the plank that can help as it works on the core muscles. I tried it and it hurt and so I gave up.

Maintained last night which is unbelievable after what I've eaten and drank :) . My target is 5 lbs off for Christmas; should be able to manage 2.5 lbs per week if I cut out the wine :angel2 .
I'm sat here with 50 mls of dry martin topped up with diet tonic pretending it's a nice cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Lost just 0.5lb tonight - really pleased as I have eaten out twice and had an Indian meal at home - it was a SW curry but ate a samosa, bhaji and naan bread.
Next WI will be in 2012. :rofl

Weighed in today at 18st 5lbs. :yikes Somebody has been lacing my water with brandy or lemonade! :que

I'm back in the gym and cutting down on portions, so the regime starts NOW!
2.5 stones is my target loss.so we'll see how I get on.

Two days in the gym and weight is now down to 17st 12lbs.

It's all fluid thats come off but I'm feeling a lot better now I'm under the dreaded 18.

It's hard graft on the rowing machine but worth the result.

:tup :tup

At weigh in at SW today I had put on 2lbs over the 2 week Christmas period so it's back to business.Better stock up on the packets of Mugshots especially the roast chicken and minestrone varieties. Anybody else like these? Most are either free or up to 1 syn and lovely and hot and very filling.

Well done Parky on your loss. :D
hbrac - 2llb gain is not too bad and I am sure you will get that off very soon. I didn't get to WI on Tuesday as we had visitors.
I like the Sweet n' Sour Mugshots, Home and Bargain sell them for about 35p each.
Got a lovely cooking book for Christmas and I can adapt lots of recipes to SW - so before I go back to work on Tuesday I will be making lots of soups for lunches - my favourite at the moment is Carrot and Lentil.

Cheers Irene!

Another 3lbs off yesterday and down to 17st 9lbs. It's almost all fluid that's coming off, well brandy anyway. My ankles are still showing signs of fluid, so if I can get a tap on my toe, I'll be OK. ;)

Blisters on my hands andd backside from the rowing machine, but a days recovery today then back to the gym on Saturday.

As I said, it's a regime. When I get down to 16 st. I'll be happy, but currently in with the grumpies. :( :(

You are going great Parky. :)
I went to another SW class this morning (new book out for 2012 so had to WI).
Gained 2lb siince I last weighed in 10 days ago - expected it and have enjoyed myself so can accept it.
Have a good New Year everyone - enjoy. 2012 is a new year and new start as far as SW is concerned.

It's back on Slimming World for me as of tomorrow, I'm going to enjoy my New Years Eve Indian takeaway tonight though :)

Well I weighed myself this morning and lost 7lbs over Christmas, saying that I wasn't well for the week between Christmas and New Year and that Indian take away was mostly veggies :) so off to a good start :)
Happy New Year everyone!

Well done - I am starting back on SW when all the goodies are gone and that will probably be towards the middle of the week.
Got Wi-fit for Chrsitmas but not had time to get it out yet.

Hello ladies,

Like Irene I am waiting until all the 'rubbish' food is eaten before I start properly on plan. Didn't buy many sweets and chocolates but I have eaten far too much bread, plus butter, which I don't normally eat. Plus I have kept at least one wineary in business with the amount I drank over the last 10 days. Our daughter got engaged so it would have been rude not to toast the happy couple!!

maureen -with a new baby and an engagement in the family, there's been a lot of champers and goodness knows what else consumed here too. :tup I'll be back in work on Monday, so there will be more planning of meals. I'll cut back for a week or two and then seriously think about things until my Easter holiday. Once I come back from there, it'll be sensible eating until the summer holiday. I would never be able to kep a diet going from now until the summer - to be honest I wouldn't want to - there's more to life than being thin :que
