I am going to ask for steam bean sprouts just to be on the safe side! :)

I no!! Super lucky, its literally round the corner, and it's like nothing I've ever tasted before! From the Chinese I normally have the roast pork Chinese style, it's roast pork on a bed of bean sprouts with a sauce bbqish gravy.. If I asked for the sauce separate, and a portion of boiled rice...

Re: *Here for the long & bumpy ride* Evening all. Had a great day today!! Didn't get up till 11.30 (opps) so missed breakfast. I had hi fi bar for quick snack, and later some fridge raiders. Did 45minutes on the Wii, and 15minutes on the bouncer :-) did some intense cleaning and then...

Wow!!that's fab. I couldn't do it, for me it was the taste of the shakes, the not eating was okay. Lol. Back on slimming world. I've lost 8lb in 2weeks:-) Keep it up!your hard work and determination has really paid off x

I was shocked! I was well within my syns, but would rather have avoided them. having been asleep most of the day i've not ate much. I went round my best friends earlier (2nd home) they was all having chipshop, i went in with her and didnt buy anything, had a couple of chips but that was it :)...

Re: *Here for the long & bumpy ride* Finished work and in bed,didn't eat much last night though, my salad,grapes and one hi-fi bar.:/ What to have for dinner tonight. Fridge is full so plenty to chose from, I fancy Chinese spice sticky pork!yum Time for me to get some sleep, hopefully...

Re: *Here for the long & bumpy ride* So, finished my night this morning, went and got the grocerys then went bed. Liturally woke up and went WI, lost half a pound, so disheartened to say the least!!! It's my 2nd weigh in today Was quite shocked, had a visit from the hormone but thought it...

Hi all, Tomorrow will be my 2nd weigh in, last week in my first week i lost 7 and half pounds (i have a lot to lose) lol recently i tried lipotrim...awful! Lasted a day, they tasted horrible so 2 days later i rejoined my old slimming world group. 3rd time lucky! And now I'm financially able...

Ha ha!! I can't believe I've drank a litre of water already. I don't think I've ever done that. How many do we have to drink again? No less then 2litres?

I've only had one shake so far, had a strawberry one and it was awful! The taste was very powdery and I wasn't sure I'd keep it down.., it made me drink loads of water though. Ha ha! My chemist said to take a selection of all them this week and you can decide what ones you like best, they gave...

:thumbup: thank you! I'm going to be kept busy making ice cubes as I only have a small freezer lol so can't put a big bag in there. Will try it the other way round later, I'm hungry!! I didn't think with all the water I'd be getting rumbles lol..wrong!! Very determined. I would like to reach...

Hi!!!! It's my first day as well today :-) I did a lot of research before, and thought I'd give it a go. Have you had a shake yet?what did you think

Wow that's so good!! If I can do that and can't do this diet so far I'd still be happy with that and try to maintain. How many clothes sizes have you found you've gone down with that lose? :-)

Oh my, I can't ever imagine having a personal trainer!good luck. Yeah the lady said don't do any exercise yet. Well just had my first shake. . . . It was the strawberry shake. . . It is rank!!!! I followed all the instructions, I thought the milkshake's were a bigger drink. I made mine up to...

After doing a few weeks research, and enjoying my last supper ( a 12 day holiday ha ha) I finally picked up my shakes yesterday. Day 1 today and I'm feeling positive!!!! Got a litre sports drink bottle, it's cool,it's pink and is making the whole water drinking that tiny bit more interesting...

That's great!! How long has it taken you so far?

Ahah your doing grand!!! My first day was supposed to be today but due to no pennies I've got to wait till Thursday!!! Getting nervous now,doubting myself. But all holiday I've been feeling horrible and really need to do some thing about it. I want to join a gym, and aqua aerobic. And weather I...

I'm intrigued now...what's the ice cube thing? Lol

Sorry to hear that. Kind regards. Speak soon x

Welcome back! :) wii fit for me everyday as well when I start. Want to get a bouncer as well :) love them! Fun with exercise. do you have a favourite shake?or way of making them up :bliss:

Awww that's fantastic!!!! Congratulations. Yeah that's the department I'm with at the hospital endro..croo..lo sumat! Haha. They telling me 30. Pthats my goal, I can't wait to find out all my measurements and weight :)

HaHa opps!!!! My friend gave me a vanilla shake to try. It didn't stir very well and I didn't have a whisk on me. Took one sip and spat it out. I really shouldn't have done that lol. I'm going to invest in a good blender :-P

Ooo love st Ives!!! It's beautiful. We hoping for the heat wave whilst we're there lol. Me to! Liturally a long top, legging and shoes. I remember about 5 years ago when I was about 3 stone lighter I wouldn't even get out the car in legging's!!! Now that's all I own :-(

Hey! I'm a newbie, well not actually started yet but wow! 2 stone in a month, that's fantastic! Hope I can do that :)

The boards are amazing, just nice to speak to other people going through the same as you :) not only pcos but with weightless lol xx

Wow that's identical to me, but I don't think I can listen to my mum moan about me living in my leggings once more haha. She goes on at me to treat myself to some new clothes, but I find anything over a size 16 to be so expensive!!! And I am really fussy...I wouldn't be fussy if I was a size...

Erm not at the moment as such, but because I have pcos the thought of needing help to conceive is how it stands :-)

That's great! more the conceiving and baby talk, cycles etc ones :)

Tell me about it lol! I'm sick of looking for clothes online and thinking, 'if i was a lot smaller i could pull that off...but I'm not ... Nexxxxxt!'

That's even better though. It's nice that you can have a break if your struggling. I've been doing my research and can't wait to give the crushed ice with shakes a try, seem much more appealing. Off to Newquay, Cornwall. Going next Thursday till the following Friday. So want to start the Monday:-)

Ahh you've done so well not giving in though! All the hard work will be so worth it in the end. I keep thinking to myself I could go back slimming world but I would get quicker results doing Lipotrim:-)

Amazing! Reading all the success people are having is great

Ooo. I self diagnosed myself from reading a artical in a mag, then went to doctors who sent me for a ultrasound. I've got the typical pcos symptoms, no periods or very very rare. Hair growth. Drives me mad. They gave me metformin but it didn't agree with me at all. I'd like bother ultrasound...

39 - Queen :D

Going to try this tonight I think! Yummy :D

Hi everyone, i couldn't find a post related to the shortening of words. I'm useless at trying to figure them out. obviously all different diets have different ways and wording, but would get helpful to get a all rounder of them. I know ... TTC : trying to conceive SW : Slimming world...

I've not been able to work it all out completely yet, but I think it's just over 5st to get my bmi to 30, along way off yet but that's what I'm working my first goal towards :) pita the NHS hospital, I'm due for blood tests soon, but I only have them yearly. Ultrasounds show lots of cysts on one...

Love the maxi dress :)

Snack on some meat! I love pork strips , quick and easy :D

I'm due to go for my 6monthly hospital appointment.. And I'm thinking what's the point! All there going to do is tell me my BMI isn't at 30 yet, and to come back in another 6month, find the whole appointment a waste of time and disheartening. So going to give lipotrim a go in a few weeks...

Teapot your weight lost is bloody fantastic!:)

I've not started yet, it reading all the posts before and learning is defo helping already! Loving the idea with the ice and coffee:D

Do people find they miss the whole chewing experience? That's why I had the idea of chewing gum but that's not allowed... Going to fill my pockets with pen lids haha! That will keep me busy chewing on them instead :8855:

Yeah, I think preparation is the key lol. Yeah do what you feel best for you. Loving the site now I'm figuring out how to actually work it lol.

Hi I'm 21, and was diagnosed with pcos when I was 16. I done slimming world for 2nd time at start of year and lost 21lb. It works for me, but I find it difficult to find time to make meals from scratch. Going to try lipotrim after I get off my jollies.

You can really see the difference! And never thought about losing weight,losing the stretch marks with help of bio oil, another incentive!!,thanks

I've not started lipotrim yet, but getting myself mentally prepared (going away next week to) but I'm finding already playing Around on this site takes up time, and your mind off snacking :P

Bon marche have got lovely swimming dresses as well that suck you in and up :p

A slight tumble only makes you stronger, it could of been worse....could have been a big bar of chocolate or crisps :):girlpower:

Hmm Hi bubz, completely agree with the last supper, going to enjoy my holiday but going to feel so frumpy and like a balloon, that's how I know I'm ready to try something different, in the form of lipooooooootrim haha. Having a play around with the site to try come to terms with it, not used to...

Yeah I go on holiday next week, and as eager and determined as I am, It would be pointless doing it for a week then the food bit just to eat again. Looking forward to starting though,so enjoying it whilst I can! Before I change my whole life style:-)

Ooooh! I no I'm wishing. Plain water it is gunna ave to be! Thanks :-)

P.s, I love cooking but never seem to have time. My social life is ideal because it doesn't consist of going out for meals with friends etc so hopefully all okay

That sounds great!I'm thinking along the same lines as you. It's so disheartening thinking you can't conceive naturally and the trying takes it's toll. Look forward to hearing how your weigh in your :-)

I'm slowly but surely learning. I'm going to try get myself used to drinking water. Looking forward to speaking to the chemist in a few weeks.:-)

Hi, I'm going a way in 2 weeks,but plan on starting Lipotrim when I get back as well. I've been doing some great research,and as hard as it seems I think I'll be able to do it. Have you started yet?

Hi Billie, really enjoying reading your diaries! Please post lots more photo's. And posts. It's so encouraging!!well done :-)

Hi all. Just wondering if you can put a slice of lemon in your water bottle?

You look fab!!! Very encouraging. Xx

Haha! That sounds like a good idea with the water bottles. I suppose you have to space it out as well don't you? You can't just down 2 litres and think that's the forcing finished in an hour.lol. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally first.:-)

Amazing!!!!!

Amazing!! Photo's like this ,encourage me to give it my all. :-)

Hi all, my goal is 8st,(for now). I'm nearly 22,and weigh in at 21st. I'm a size 22 and struggle for clothes as it is . . The thought of shopping for a 24 scares me stif!!! I have to lose weight to try and conceive naturally,my bmi needs to be under 30 for the hospital to move forward,I suffer...

That's one of the my incentives, stopping drinking so much diet Pepsi!!drink awful amounts

I think I also would us most of them reasons to! Very honest,brill :-)

Oh bugger! :-( I'm have to opt for water from that small few lol,and even that is a huge shock. Is it 2 litres of water a day? Can you chew gum

Hi all!! Just read all the posts and I want to start right now! Just wondering how much you've lost all together so far? I'm going on holiday in 2weeks and have done some intense research about Lipotrim and think it would be ideal,I'm pretty positive I'm in the right frame of mind! Although, I'm...

not sure if this will work? I'm newish but just can't seem to get the hang of the website? Can anyone give a few words of advice :p

Asda!!! They have a great selection. And yours, bit pricey but quality is great x

Hi Nichola! I was in that position as well and at the same age. But I went and honestly none of the doctors have said anything like that to me. But I had to wait a year from first goin to the doctors about it,to be referred and now I'm stuck in a rut with 6 monthly appointments just telling me I...

I see I see. That's my worry,I don't want to be trying for years and years. Are you within a 35 bmi?:-)

I only have a period once every 6month most times,and that's brought on bye medication. But I did find I was doing a opk every day for several months and they didn't work for me.

Thank youuuu! I've got an android phone and find you need to put the correct term in down to a T,so you can get the right app. Trying all of them,cause struggling because my periods are so messed up,it's manually in putting it lol. :-)

Re: Low Syn Treats Haha!that's not bad but I think I'd prefer a curly Wurly. Enjoy the site. I think it's great :-)

Hi, I've been on here for hours reading posts, and I came across a post that mentioned an app that tracks your cycle and works out your ovulation dates etc,does any one no what the app's called? Thanks for helping

Hi everyone I'm following slimming world,extra easy and I'm wondering if you can help me out with low syn snacks and quick easy meals. I love the fridge raiders!and there low syns. Does anyone have any quick easy recipes for dinners,lunches that are freezeable ... Slow cooker friendly? :-)

Re: Low Syn Treats The lindt small Easter bunny's are 3syns each!and to me there a real nice treat:-)

I have really enjoyed reading this thread! I tick all the boxes with you all on here. I'm on my 6th/7th week with sw, I've lost a stone so far,the last 2 weeks I've lost all motivation and energy for it :-( I have my fertility hospital appointment in about 6 weeks time,I no I need to get the...

Hey. Were do you get your ovulation test strips from? I got a batch of about 50 from amazon really good price s:-)

Arrgh!so sorry I'm only just replying!forgot about the forum! Yeah I'm doing ee, I like it because if I'm having a bad week,I can go to my weigh in and start again. I'm a really fussy eater,I only eat apples,oranges and grapes for fruit. I don't really eat any green veg at all! I find if I...

Hi all, This is only my second post! So bear with me lol. When I was fifteen I seen an article in a mag about pcos,and self diagnosed!after going through gp and hospital It was confirmed! I've never really had periods,I have really bad hair growth!and always been a big girl lol! I've never...

I'm a newbie! Trying to get my head around the site. I started slimming world 3 weeks ago. So far so good,just need some different recipe ideas :-)

I always have roast pork, Chinese style.. It comes on a bed of bean sprouts, but I don't really like them so I ask for boiled rice. The roast pork has a gravey style sauce on, so u could ask them to put only a tiny bit on? It's not a lot anyway :) xx
