Ladies i hope your treatment works for u! Long story short - I also have PCOS and was told i had a sever case and would need treatment if i wanted to get pregnant! Well i joined slimming world in Jan 2012 and had my son in Dec 2012 as i lost weight i started ovulating (which i never done)...

Thats fantastic orla!!! I gained 1/2 lb this week - i dont mind tho as i had a christening on sunday and i also blame my hubby on the box of thorntons he got me for vtines day and kept asking if i didnt like them as i wasnt eating them.

Everyone doing fantastic this week!!! I lost 2lb! i actually had a bad week eating wise and had a bit of a tummy bug so i think that was the result! lol not complaining tho! need to be 100% this week as i only need half a pound to my stone award!!!

i really want my stone off but i really dont see me losing this week! especially with how bad i have been! im so stressed at the min and when im stressed i eat rubbish!

Im dreading weigh in! i was good wed and thurs then it all went wrong! :(

I lost 1lb last night :) and i dont know how as I didnt stick to plan one full day all week! back on plan tho and raring to get my stone off in next week r 2! only 2.5lbs to go!!

Hiya!! I stayed the same this week and after a bad week im happy at that! looks like this could be a bad week as the hubby finds out today if he loosing his job :( which looks likely as the firm more than likely will be closing!

I stayed the same this week :) I am very happy after having a rocky week! You all have done fantastic!!

you all are doing fantastic! I havent been drinking peppermint tea or enough water this week so i think thats whats making me feel bloated and awful! :( roll on 7:30 to i be put out of my misery

Agh i have had such a bad week! had a bad day on thrusday, bad day on sat and i feel so bloated! i have also been nibbling! :( i am dreading class tonight! i really hope i maintain but i really see a gain!

i am determined to have a good week (bar saturday). Im planning my meals etc already! think im going to limit carbs to once a day and see how that goes! my class is lovely and its moving venues so im sure it will lose some group members to that! ill see what the crowd is like when i get there...

Izzy i started crocheting and cross stitching cos i take myself upstairs and my hards are too busy to feed me! agh class at 7.30pm! dreading it!! think ill just get weighed and go home! gonna go early, get weighed first so i dont have to see many!

We all have good and bad weeks! i think the group is a big part of helping you lose weight! unfortunatly the group im at now the consultant has changed and i found her a bit rude last night at group. I love the people tho that are in the group! im just afraid of this consultant putting me off...

The rice alone is 1 1/2 syns and the sauces vary from 4 1/2 to 10 syns each. :( handy but high in syns!
