I have the implant and it's worked fine for me. Having it put in is painless - you have a local anesthetic which scratches a bit, but that's it. It feels a bt tender when the local has worn off, but that's it. Not painful at all. You have a couple of butterfly stitches and a dressing, just to...

I say this to everyone, but how about cycling?

Well I wouldn't know about red days as i only do green, but I'm usually quite full up. Having said that, I eat lots of pasta and potato which do fill you up.

Thanks - where did you find it? I couldn't for the life of me!!

Yay! Congrats! Gorgeous dress - i'm dead jealous!

Is wholegrain mustard free? Ta!

Well i gave up on the slow cooker and had quorn sausages, mash and beans!

Thanks Son, I think I'll try a soup. Failing that, I will just chuck in whatever i can find that is free and take pot luck! :D

Hi Girls, Does anyone have any ide of what I can cook in the slow cooker on a green day? Thanks!

Thanks Stacey - Glad to hear that superspeed foods work! I will be eating lots of them this week!

Well I just had half a portion of egg fried rice, a spring roll and some curry sauce. I feel quite sick - that'll teach me eh? After doing SW for 3 weeks, that horrible so-full-i-feel-sick feeling has reminded me justwhy i wanted to stop eating *****! lol!

Thanks space angel! :D That's definately helped, and I will food optimising again from tomorrow. I've had a bad day, but tomorrow WILL be better!

Tanks Nata for the tops - they're gorgeous and fit nicely! Also, a public apology that I haven't yet posted your cheque - Lost your address! Will PM you. Thanks again! Sam x

Thanks FNM - An embolism is a clot in the lungs

Greenford - near the Hoover Building.

Dismotivated. I know that's not a proper word, but it's the only way I can describe how I'm feeling today, compared to my first week on SW. I'm disappointed with my losses. Last night i though sod it, and had 5 slices of a 15" pizza :sigh: Was gonna get straight back on track today, but...

I was just at Sainsburys and i got a mexican quorn mix. It has peppers, onions and sweetcorn in it and it's in a chilli style sauce. Just load it into Tacos and eat with heaps of salad - YUM! :D

Hello! I'm Samantha, I'm 29, I have 1 daughter, a lovely fiance and a lot of pets! I live in West London.

Lol!! Any melon will do!

Hello - and welcome!

Melon! Thats superspeed!

Lol! She's my consultant!

Thanks linda - that's really interesting! I'll try and have a red day for WI next week!

In your list of free foods, some have SS beside them - that means super speed food. Just eat loads of those!

Count me in! My swc says "a melon a day keeps lisa away" ! She says if you eat a melon a day it will really boost your losses.

Did u use chicken for the tikka masala? COuld it be replaced with quorn pieces?

Good for you! I know how you feel - i was so disappointed this evening, but I know that I have to put in the effort for this to work and pay off.

Not totm Syns between 10 - 15 per day I dont drink much water, but drink diet coke and tea Don't do much exercise, but that's due to injury to my ankle SWC said i should try and eat more free foods When my daughter goes back to school i will be joining an aquarobics class, will cycle to school...

I stick to green only, but am i wrong in thinking that you loose more eating mainly proteins than mostly carbs?

I think it varies on a lot of things. The first time I joined SW i lost 6.5lbs my first week. This time, i lost 3.5lbs first week. I'll have a look at your diary, but don't give up!

I think I have the fat gene :mad: No, I know i don't really, but why the hell is my loss so slow?

Well done - keep doing what you're doing coz it's working! I hope I do as well as you at WI tonite

Yep - definately hourglass! Sorry! :o

Oh i see! I alwasy measure the fullest part!

to have a big breakfast, lunch then tea and not snack at all then have all your syns in the evening, or to have less for meals and snakc in between including syns?? :confused:

How did it go?

Hiya! Yes the soup is definately a B choice, the fat free yoghurt is Mullerlight - usually toffee, and the quorn shepherds pie is definately free (apart from 1 oxo cube) because i make it myself from scratch. Will try to eat more fruit and more veg too. Thanks!

If theres only 1 inch between your bust and waist, but 11 inches between your waist and hips, doesn't that make you a pear?

and tell me if i'm doing something wrong? Here goes: THURSDAY Fat free yoghurt, diet coke, 1% mug shot, Home made quorn sheperds pie B choice - 2 ww wm bread, 2 alpen light A choice - 3 babybel light Syns - 1 oxo cube = 1syn FRIDAY Fat free yoghurt, half a melon, 1 banana, diet...

I had the depo and i hated it. I would never reccommend it to anyone. I actually fell pregnant on it at the end of month 2, didn't realise know, had the 3rd jab at the right time, then miscarried due to the 3rd jab. It made me gain weight, it made me miserable and it complete knocked my libido...

Well done Nat, and good luck for tomorrow FNM!

Bust 51 inches Waist 46 inches Hips 56 inches I'm a 38H, and guess i'm hourglass too?

Yea - i used to cycle absolutely everywhere and lost a stone through cycling alone. I would cycle to school with my daughter and then home again, to do the shopping, to pick my daughter up from school - it all added up and i did it 5 days a week. I have big hips, and it shifted them for me.

Does it make any difference to your weightloss on SW like it does on CD?

Hi Zoe - just wondering how you're getting on with the reductil?

Cycling?

Can anyone reccommend a good pair that aren't too pricey and let me know where to get them from? Thanks!:)

I know that you are all right, and i know that i can do it if i put my mind to it - I just have to stay srong, positive and focused. I guess half a lb off is half a lb off at the end of the day..........

Thanks girls, I spent the afternoon making homemade meringues with my daughter, and then laoding them with fresh whipped cream and peaches - they looked soooo delicious, and i was soooooo good and didn't have any (except a tiny lick of cream and a tiny lick of the raw meringue mixture!) I...

Hi All, I'm on week 3 of SW and feel like giving up :( I don't know why - maybe just having a bad day. I saw a video of myself taken today and i look as huge as ever. :( I'm feeling that I just have so much to loose that i will never do it - it seems like an insurmountable task at the...

I spent this afternoon making home made Meringues with my daughter then loading them with fresh whipped cream and peaches - DUMPED! The big mac meal with no cheese and extra extra sauce - DUMPED!

That looks yummy! Will definately make it this week, and also try the aubergine bake. Just thought i'd add that ground nutmeg is gorgeous and mash!

What a good idea! The bake looks scrummy - even though it's aubergine, which i don't like. Maybe i'll try it though! Keep adding!!

God I love those noodles!! I can only get hold of the chilli flavour though, nowhere round here has any other flavour!

Hiya Tinyshoes, How are you feeling today?

Awwwwww - I know how you feel, I really do. Why not try some Kalms and some rescue remedy? They might help you to calm down a bit. I was exactly the same when I got my results. After the colposcopy I had to have 6monthly and then yearly smears. Since then all has been fine. I haven't heard...

I have a staff - he will be 11 this December - and he is absolutely gorgeous! He has quite big eyes for a staff, and is the happiest and friendliest dog we have ever had. He is still like a pup - so excitable! He assumes that anyone who comes round has come purely to see him! I grew up...

I went to group and paid last night. I got there so late due to traffic that i got weighed at the end of class and left without getting te password. I couldn't get hold of my group leader, so was going to ask here if someone would tell me the password - I read this thread and thought ooops -...

Hi Emma, and thanks! When i did SW last time i lost 6.5lbs in my first week. I was expecting something similar this time around i think, so am a bit disappointed with my losses so far. But having said that, any loss is a loss i suppose, so i'm going in the right direction. I'm going to...

I have tried evrything! Depo made me feel awful, ad i actually fell pregnant on it and then miscarried. I now have the implant, whichI love and causes me no problems at all!

:(I have a mole on the side of my neck - kind of where a necklace would fall. I've always had it, and have shown it to the Dr before, who said it looked fine. Anyway, I noticed the other day that it was stinging and looked like it had been bleeding. Went back to the GP and showed him, and...

No - Honest to god it didn't hurt at all. They numb your cervix so it's painless - just a bit of pressure is fel, nothing more. I shook like a leaf all the way through, and held on to the nurses hand for dear life - it must have been as numb as my cervix by the time i let go! You can watch...

How many lbs did you loose before you looked and felt a little different? How long before others noticed? Just curious! :D

Are all the flavours of oats so simple a B choice?

Batchelors Super Fat Free Noodles are free, I love those, as are Mug Shots, but only the 1% fat ones! Cous cous is usually free too - HTH!

Wow - 5 weeks?! That's fantastic! I so couldn't hack CD, so I'm always jealous of those who can!

Jeez - you look AMAZING!

Are there many Londoners here??

I often have a Mug Shot for lunch. All the 1% fat ones are free on green!

I was wondering about those as well! I stick to either golden lights or french fries - both 4.5 per pack

I just make sure i have less than 15........... Good luck!

Has anyone tried the SW butternut squash and lentil curry receipe from the website? It's bloody delicious! I was a bit sceptical about the squash i must say, coz i've tried it before and i hated it - but I'm completely converted now - its gorgeous!

No I think that meat is a B

I keep meaning to start a diary here myself, but never actually get round to it!

I had this too. Had a smear at my 7 week check after DD, and it came back as abnormal changes. Mine were grade (cin) III I was petrified, so i know how you are feeling. I went for a colposcopy, had loop diathermy to remove the cells and a cone biopsy also. Thankfully all the cells were...

1. What time did you get up this morning? 9.15am 2. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds! 3 What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Nancy Drew 4. What is your favourite TV show? Eastenders 5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Fat free yoghurt with fruit 6. What is your middle name? Louise...

Thanks everyone! I have been doing SW for a couple of weeks and haven't had anything high in fat, which was what made me wonder if it was the xenical or what? I thought also that xenical only acted on the fat in the meal you took it with, so wondering why i still have cramps 3 days later??

I took 1 xenical capsule on friday afternoon about 2 pm., within an hour of lunch. By Saturday i had a tummy ache. Saturday evening i had cramps and wind. Sunday was the same, and now monday morning i still have cramps. Could it be the xenical, even though i only took 1 capsule?

Last night. I was feeling a bit down, so had 2 slices of bread with butter and peanu butter, a bag of crisps, 2 slices of pizza and lots of chocolate fingers :( I have been so good so far and lost 3.5lbs in my first week :break_diet: I'm gonna get back on track today and just forget it -...

Zoe, i was gonna post this exact same question! I took xenical a couple of years ago. I never had any toilet problems!! I'm gonna give it another go while doing SW and see what happens! Let us know how you get on!

.....................and I have lost 3.5 lbs! Im happy with that - and am aiming for 1.5lbs this week! :D

That's absolutely fabulous! :D I managed to stick to CD for a day and a half before i gave up, so you've done a hell of a lot better that I did - well done!

You lot are amazing - truly inspirational! I hope that one day i will be able to post my own before and after pics too!!

Hi Bev! My class is on a Wednesday too! Good luck! x

Thanks all! Have been very good today, but still kicking myself for eating that bloody eclair! It tasted good, but that lasted for 2 minutes. The guilt I feel for eating it in the first place totally cancels out the pleasure of eating it iykwim? Hey ho!

Hi all! Didn't have a very good day yesterday - had a migraine, and when I have those i tend to need sweet stuff to stave off the nausea. So i had a couple of squares of Galaxy and a chocolate eclair................... :sigh: I've been good otherwise though, and will be totally back on track...

Hi all, and thanks! I have been sticking to my SW plan quite rigidly and it's going well, i've not been hungry at all really! Looking forward to my 1st weigh in in Wednesday! :D

I have a Guinea Pig called Lolly. She is black and white, and currently lives with our rabbit Bam Bam. She never ever got on with any other piggies :confused:

I used to have a chicken! :D She was a red called Mathilda, and SO tame! She would come in and out as she pleased, run to me when i went out, and often came in and got up on to the table or chairs, and even on to my lap! We had to give her away though :sigh: She is happy with a lady we...

I got a kitten recently - a gorgeous ginger tom called Alfie! I brought him a coller - it's a kitten collar with a bell and it's also a quick release one too. I kept the bell on so that I know where he is!

Hiya Bubblegum! Told you this was a great site didn't i? Keep up your good work - it will all pay off in the end! x

I don't know how you did it either! I did CD - for a day and a half - it made me ill. Even now, i can't stomach the thought of a cuppa soup!

Thanks so much! Couldnt find vecon in Tesco, so just used a normal veg stock cube. Will add 1.5 syns!

Are vegetable stock cubes free on a green day? Ta!

Well, I weighted in at 17st 10lbs - 2lbs lighter than last time i started SW. I stayed and did the new members thing, but didn't stay for the rest - I had to collect my dd. I will definately stay to the full meetings in future. Had my breakfast - a fat free youghurt, half a melon and a...

Wish me luck!!! :rolleyes:

Bravissimo are great - is there one near you? It's best to go in and get fitted. You'r lucky actually, I'm a 38H and can't get anything strapless or even multiway in my size :cry: Good luck!

I would say nude. What size bra do you take?

Thanks Emma - My first meeting is tomorrow, so fngers crossed!

For some reason I can't see your pics - It says I'm not allowed :(

Just found this thread - has anyone got any trousers with a short leg legth - not crops, but i'm only 5ft! size 22 - 24 if poss! Thanks!

Wow! You look absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous dress too!

Well, I've had another shock. My daughter has used my phone while i was asleep to take pics of me. You know what it's like when you're big and in front of a camera - you suck your tummy in and lift your head to try and eliminate an excess chin or two. But i was fast asleep and had no chance...

Hi all, Spoken to my local class leader and have arranged to start next Wednesday. Last time i did SW i lived on cous cous and roasted veg which i soon got sick of, but hopefully this time I can get some recepies together and keep my diet varied! Also, is anyone doing SW at the moment who...

Haven't been around for a few days, but am back now, and on track to start slimming world next Wednesday. I have cut down on the crap that i'm eating, but have spoken to the slimming world consultant at my local group and commited myself to going. I have a long way to go, but it's doable...

Are the lipotrim packs anything like the CD packs?

Thanks Starlight - let's see if it works!

Thanks again - you are all stars! I have had a look at the before and after pics and i'm amazed - I can't imagine ever getting to my goal of 65KG from 111KG, but i think those pics are all the inspiration i need. Could someone please tell me how to put a weightloss tracker in my siggy strip...

I think I will try SW again. I have looked at the website and at the recepies as UndisturbedGirl suggested, and I think that if I put my mind to it, I can do it! ETA My local class is held on a Wednesday - I will start tomorrow!

Thanks so much for all your replies. As I said i have tried ww - i couldnt do with faffing around with the points. SW was ok for a few weeks, and i lost over half a stone, but I found that i was eating the same food all the time (I will NEVER touch couscous ever again!) Xenical didn't work for...

Hi Starlight, and thank you. How do i work out what the best diet for me is? :sigh:

I am Fat. Not just overweight. I am Morbidly Obese. If i don't do something now, I never will. If i don't do something now, I could die. I have a daughter, I need to be around for her. I want to see her grow up. I want her to be proud of me. I want to be slimmer and fitter. I want...

Thanks for all the replies! Is it anything like the Cambridge Diet? I tried that, but it made me sick. I was so disappointed - I had convinced myself that it would be easy, work fast and that I would be slim in a few months.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to go about starting lipo trim & tell me how much it costs? MTIA

Hi, I'm in Greenford and I'm looking for diet and excercise buddy Any takers?? :D
