You can order it online. I got my last bottle through Amazon.

Can't believe it. I put on half a pound. I think my monthly is on its way, so that will certainly account for it, but I am well annoyed because I have been pretty darn good this week. Oh, well... I guess I've just got to get back on the horse and get on with it!

I would go and speak to your GP or Gynae and explain what is going on. I suspect that they will try you on a low dose to start with, and go from there. Whatever happens, you've found a group of like minded ladies, and we've all been at pretty low points once or twice (or a hundred times!)...

Well, since my last post, I have managed two more days of swimming and walking. Yesterday was a complete wash out though. I wasn't feeling very well, so I opted to stay home instead of go to the gym. I have managed 5 days out of the last 8, so I feel like I've done okay overall. Hope...

Thank you Alison. It does get better every day.

Errrr.... competitive slimming? Not too sure about that idea...

Oh how this made me laugh! I quit my last group because the clapping and wittering was ENDLESS, and the group started at 6pm, so all I really wanted was to be at home eating dinner! And the group was quite a small one, so there was no real need. My current group is 3 times the size, but...

From what I understand, your PCOS goes into temporary dormancy when you are pregnant, as pregnancy hormones stop you from ovulating, so you don't have follicles, therefore cysts don't form. One of my friends has pretty severe PCOS, and she has been pregnant 3 times, and after each pregnancy...

Amen to that!!

I too am back on SW, and so far have been enjoying it despite a bit of a false start. Like you I just need to sort this issue out. I am not happy, and my unhappiness is affecting more than just me. I hate that. Welcome and I hope that we can all support one another!

I REALLY didn't want to go to WI this week because my birthday was last week and I knew I would have a gain, but I thought it would be best to get it over with and go. I put 4.5lbs on, which wasn't great, but at least I was expecting it!

I was on SW AGES ago and did really well. Since then I have been on WW, SF, CC and 5:2, but the only thing that has ever worked for me is SW, so I went back recently. I hope you find the plan helpful, and this site seems a wealth of info and friendly folk as well, so welcome! x

Guilty! I like weighing in first thing after I get up. I can't guarantee it helps, but in my head it 'sort of' keeps me on track!

I have issues with my feet and ankles (weight related, no doubt), so swimming is the easiest thing for me to do because everything else makes me hurt! So I am a swimmer too!

Well done to you and your hubby!

You look amazing. Congratulations on that mammoth weight loss!

What an inspiration you are! I hope you are still going strong with your maintaining!

You look AMAZING! Well done! x

Well, as I said, happy to help however I can. I will try and work out how to send you a friend request! xx

Also, I drink LOTS of water. This helps me loads, as often I am not hungry at all, and I just need a drink. x

To me it seems like maybe you aren't eating enough? I know that it seems crazy, but with Extra Easy on SW, I am eating far more than I ever thought possible, and when I am following the plan, it really does work. The two weeks I had decent results, I was eating bacon, egg, potato, beans...

Well done!! I sure hope that I get some good results over the next few weeks as well, but 6lbs is pretty amazing! xx

I have recently gone back to it myself, and would be more than happy to help AND join you!! I've got twice as much as you to lose, but I have to do it! Its just too bad that I didn't do it so that I could fit back into all of my lovely summer clothes, but you can't have it all, can you...

It definitely hasn't been a great couple of months, but I know that my Gramma (which is who I lost) would want me to be healthy, so I will do it for her as much as anything else. So far I have found the site immensely helpful, and everyone has been so welcoming! xxx

Unfortunately, it is snacking in general. When I was doing SW before, I found that it took me a little while, but eventually I saw fruit as a good treat rather than chocolate. I just have to change my way of thinking. I do like the idea of options though. I love a bit of hot chocolate now...

I did look it up right after I posted and found the same info. Two fingers are better than none, but I will be buying the smaller packs from now on. It is too tempting to eat all four once it's open!

I am just so bad with snacking! I haven't even checked the syns on a KitKat, so maybe I could do that and go from there! I just need to stop buying junk! That is my downfall...

Exactly my thought! Just got back from the gym, which is a 30 minute round trip walk, and I did a 45 minute swim whilst I was there. Got back and had a lovely soup for lunch, and now I have to get on with some coursework!

Alrighty then! I have just gotten back from a 45 minute swim, and the walk there and back was 30 minutes. That was an even better effort than yesterday when I did 30 minutes, but it was made easier by having the pool to myself for most of it!

There is no point in even trying to stop myself! I would rather do that then eat chocolate! Maybe that is the secret... when I feel my willpower slipping, I should go and weigh myself instead of eat!

10 minutes is more than achievable, so I will join! I will probably manage a bit more because getting to the gym and back alone takes me 30 minutes! (I only have a 7 day trial though, so it will take some convincing from Saturday!)

I'd love to say a stone, but I think that I need to be realistic! So I will go with 8lbs, and hope that is a conservative estimate! Good luck everyone!

I feel like I should add that I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS because I don't have the syndrome, but I do have polycyctic ovaries. I don't quite get it, but this was a result of my gynae doing tests to find out why, after 8 years of TTC, I haven't managed even a whisper of a BFP.

I've been on Metformin for several months now. Started with 700mg per day and am now at 2000mg, which I understand is the max dosage you can be on. I have to admit when my dosage has changed, it has really taken its toll. Weight gain, spotty, horrible IBS, but after a week or two it calms...

I am a serial weigher, especially when I am slimming. It is the only thing that keeps me going sometimes, and keeps me on track a little better than just sticking to plan. Got on the scales this morning and I have managed to drop 2.5lbs since WI on Monday. I know that isn't necessarily...

They've a blu-ray version of all 5 films on Amazon for £40.00. I LOVED the final film, but just about had a heart attack in the cinema at the end!

I saw P!nk a week or so ago, which was AMAZING, before that was Walk Off The Earth and Gotye. I still have a few bits coming up before the end of the year, but quite a few of them are theatre rather than gigs.

I honestly can't get enough of Bruno Mars at the moment. Locked Out of Heaven just makes me want to dance, but the new P!nk album has been on my phone constantly lately as well...

I watch WAY too much telly!! My favourites are: Friends (can still watch it and laugh my arse off) How I Met Your Mother Big Bang Theory Grey's Anatomy Criminal Minds Anything related to midwifery/birth (training to be a midwife)

We've got two cats, Jasper and Dexter. Jasper is the eldest and isn't always very nice to Dex. We chalk his bad attitude up to an accident that he had a couple years ago that resulted in him losing his tail. Poor boy, but no need to take it out on his innocent little brother!

I am doing extra easy. I do love it, but I also love Kit Kats, and one a day is just not going to happen! Thank you for the offer of support! I just may take you up on that! x

Oh yes it did! This is going to take some getting used to....

Will do! I have put you on my contacts/friends list. I think. I also thought that I changed my signature, but clearly that didn't work!

Another one to try (if someone else hasn't posted it already) is Raspberry balsamic vinegar (admittedly difficult to find, but worth it!) and ginger ale. So tasty!!

OH loves rice pudding, so I have just done some and it is in the oven now! I hope it is as lovely as it smells!

Wow! Those are brilliant losses! Well done to both of you!

Thank you! Looking at your goals, mine are pretty similar. I want to get to 10 stone by the end of this year, but I am currently a couple stone heavier than you, so I have some work to do! You've done brilliantly! I am inspired!

So I restarted SW on 18th March, and I was oh so determined, and it really did show in my first two weigh losses. I managed to get 5lbs on in those first two weeks, and I was extremely pleased with myself. Unfortunately, my Gramma took a turn for the worst health wise, which forced a trip...

So, here I am! Trying to get as much in the way of support as I can, whilst trying not to lose my mind when it comes to losing weight! I have been on and off both SW and WW over the years, but the only plan that ever worked for me was SW, so I started back on it a while back. After a family...

Hello everyone! I hope it is okay to join you. I joined my local SW a few weeks back, managed to lose 5lbs over the first two weeks, and then I had to travel back to Canada because my Gramma passed away. Three weeks later, I gained 1.5lbs, but lost it the following week, which I thought was...
