Here is my before and after photos after counting calories and exercising for a month. April 6th to May 8th. Left photos are before, right two photos are after.
Join me on Monday on this challenge. It is 5 minutes tummy exercise safe for the unfit (like me)! It's also good for your brain....
Watch this video which explains the physiology and how to do the exercises safely.
The Challenge - choose 4 or more exercises and do them each daily for one...

I've had lots of water today and don't feel too bad. Also on my fitness Pal it has logged my Fitbit steps 9703 so far...
Hi guys
I thought I would start a thread about exercise (always a tough one in the winter months when we drive home in the dark and just want to curl up on the sofa) so here goes! Let’s see if we can all motivate each other and remember how good it feels
Let’s start all posts with “Today I...
I am asking this question because I want to know what works, scientifically speaking. So a fast or fastest 'way' could be a diet or exercises program or even a daily regime. Basically, whatever you have tried that yielded measurable results in the shortest time frame.
For me, it was being 20...
Hello!
I've been on a diet for a decade with weight ranging from 11 stone to 15 and a half (im 5ft 11).
This time last year I got married and was at the bottom end weight wise after more or less starving myself with stress. Since our wedding day I've gained 4 and a half stone in under a year...
Hey there guys!
I'm here to play devils advocate!
Slimming world doesn't allow you to add syns on from exercise because the truth of it is, syns are pointless calories and why risk overestimating what you burn and actually gain weight right?
But what if you redeemed half of your calories...
OK the snow is out and it doesn't feel like we are in Spring....but we are
So shake off the snow and get moving.
What do you challenge yourself to do this month.
Thinking about taking the plunge and having a go at some form of gentle exercise?
A group of us ladies were chatting today about this very subject earlier today, and thought a thread for ‘exercise newbies’ might be useful. We wanted a friendly, relaxed place to log our activity, ask questions...
January is almost over.
Spring just springing and the sun is coming out so easier to get some exercise done.
What are your plans for exercise this month?
Remember, only 28 days this month so adjust your target
Set your own goal and challenge yourself.
Only two days left so time to plan your January challenge.
Same format as always, set your own goals for the month and then count down each day as you exercise. Can you beat yourself?
Ready
Steady...

Hey Guys,
I know we're not meant to be doing exercise or anything heavy but thought we could all do a stretch exercises challenge, something to get us ready.
They're not hard only takes minutes and will help flex our completely frozen bodies, well mine anywayz
hi,
So I've been doing slimming world 2 years and got my target on the 2nd June at a visiting group :) was so pleased with over 4 stone gone!
I decided to join the gym as I'd done some classes before and missed doing them, strange i know! So if started going 2-3 times a week ranging from...
Hi all, I know we have various weight loss challenges but I thought I would start an exercise one for June.
So set your target and see how you do.
Any exercise any target so for example "I want to walk 100k this month" or "I will swim 3 times a week" or "I will exercise 10 hours in June"....you...
Okay, so I love food. Straight to the point. And there has definitely been times in my life where I've loved food a little too much. Luckily, I was young, and my body type meant that I was able to lose the weight without too much effort. However, my body shape also means that I'll never be one...
Hi,
My name is Dee, I'm 30 years old, a wife and mother and a repeat dieter. I've tried so many times in the past to lose weight, I'd manage to drop maybe 5 or 10lbs and then just....go back to my old habits and every time I'd put back on that 10lbs lost plus another 10lbs on top. So now I have...
I am 23 years old and I am at the biggest weight I have ever been. I will weigh myself again tomorrow morning and put it down here but I am also a size 18 UK now, which is the highest I have ever been.
I have been fat since my teenage years and I have just gotten up a clothes size but I really...
Hey Everyone, it's been a while since I was last here.. A lot has changed and a lot hasn't! I'm here for the same reason as everyone, to lose some weight. I have set myself a target of a pound a week for the next 10 weeks. Starting on the week of my monthlies is prob a bad idea as I'm after...
Hello all, I'm new to the forum so hope I'm not posting this in the wrong place. I've been doing SW since March and have lost 2.5 stone, but I've spent the last 2 months gaining and losing the same 2 lb :(
I'm going on Holiday in a month and want to shift as much as I can before then, so I...
Hi just wondering if someone can help me.

I have really struggled with losing weight I just seem to go up and up

The doctor has prescribed me with 1500mg metformin the pill and...
Hi everyone.
Right I've been inspired. @craftermary is doing the squat challenge but squats scare me so I've decided to do a 30 day hula hoop challenge.
I hereby challenge myself to do at LEAST 20 mins of hula hooping each day for 30 days.
Join me with whatever exercise you choose at...
I'm starting slimming world again on my own at home and work out around 4-5 times a week. I'm just wondering how I would work out the extra syns you get for exercise? Any help would be really appreciated :)
Hi Guys,
So for all the usual reasons I of course fell off the wagon before. New House, New Job, ect.
But I am so sick of being the fat one.
I am going to pop my food diaries on here in the hopes that looking back on the bad days will help me stay motivated.
If anyone does happen to read...
Hi all :)
I've been doing slimming world 7weeks now. I've also been running 3 times per week - 3miles a time for 5 weeks. I walk 2-3miles on the days I'm not running. I'm 28 and 5ft 6.
I started out 13st 3lb, and now currently 12st 11lb. I'm feeling disappointed as weight loss is down to 1lb...
Hi everyone, loved lurking on the thread (at work during the week - can't really write anything). So here it is the weekend (and Day 4 of Exante) and I have a few questions that I don't seem to find the answer for anywhere... (though reading this on my mobile I might have missed something :-)...
Hi guys - I'm brand spanking new to this site! I was reccommended this by a friend.
My partner and I both joined slimming world last week - weighed on Monday and both achieved our 1/2 stone awards!! OH lost 8lbs!
We've decided to try and routine our social life so we manage to fit some sort...
Hi all,
I've been eating well and loosely following SW now for a few weeks. I've lost 7lbs and now down to 10st1lb but fear the weight will be hard to shift beyond here, no matter how well I eat!
I'd love to start exercising more. I do try to go to the gym when I can and usually get there...
