    Welcome MrsJ & bails.
    We are a friendly bunch here & support each other.
    A lot of us(including me!)have various health probs & manage to loose weight at a maybe slightly slower rate than those who can do more excercise but it still comes off!
    Have a good week everyone.

    Hi again :hello:

    This thread is becoming more and more like men behaving badly, or maybe it's Kevin and Perry go large! It's a good laugh tho!

    Petrichor - I did struggle a bit with finding an outfit - everywhere has sales on so it was hard to see what was on offer, but then I spotted it, tried it on, and that was it. I've never bought the first item I tried on before! Did you get your Radley bag yet?

    Suggs - we could have passed each other - we got there just after six! I like the Saturday night date idea, it's very easy to forget 'going out' when you live together. DH and I really needed to do something different last night - we're both having a stressful time with work, and it helped to put it out of our minds for a while.

    Ajax - I like the sound of that recipe, although the mention of 'quiche' makes DH think he's getting something with pastry round it! When I first started SW corned beef was free food and we often had it in a quiche with onions and cottage cheese - he did like that, even without pastry, but it came off the menu when SW decided it wasn't free anymore. I must admit I was always surprised that it was.


    I've been preparing the weightloss chart for this week, which sees the end of the monthly challenge, so maybe now is a good time to start the list for next month. Shall we make the end date Wednesday 29th August this time - that's exactly 4 weeks, and will take us to just after the Bank Holiday.

    For anyone who's not familiar with how this works - I'll start the list with my username, if you want to join in the challenge, copy and paste it into a new message and add your name.

    We have two challenges with the same goal, which is to lose weight - the overall aim is to lose 2 pounds a week, however as that would be hard to do every week, we also have the 5 pounds a month challenge - of course you can lose more than that if you want to!

    Hi All,

    Could anyone recommend a diet club?

    I've been thinking of joining Slimming World as heard a few good reports. How much does it cost, is the on-line club as good as going to a proper club?

    I'd love to hear what you old/current weights are and how much I can expect to lose per week.

    I've heard about sins - what food/drink can you have with this?

    I've had a nosey on the website but would prefer to hear real and honest opinions.

    Thanks all :j

    A bit of a belated reply to this one!

    Id totally recommend WW - I LOVE it. Ive lost over 6 stones in 6 and a half months. It depends what you want tho, I know a lot of people cant be bothered counting points, its just become 2nd nature to me now tho.

    I wont even start with the plusses for WW as I swear Im turning into a real diet bore lol but if theres anything you want to know about it while youre deciding what to do, just ask ;)

    Got my next weigh in later today, so fingers crossed

    Hope everyone is doing well :)


    Oh and Id like to do the Aug challenge:

    Hey starlight!! I'd get 32 points, going by your worker-outer-er table, which seems generous. I'd imagine that I can get well stuck into some good stuff with that allowance?

  • I want to give my weight loss a boost and was thinking of including more low GI foods but don't have a comprehensive list. I was wondering if any one could recommend a good breakfast. I don't like porridge and usually have cornflakes or shredded wheat both which are quite high. Any ideas please!!!
