Yeah I agree, last time I lost the weigh after my 2nd baby I lost 2st without exercise and then started 3x a wk to get another 7lb off but really toned up. Now after my 4th baby I'm starting all over again

Well thanks for your rant but I was well aware it was tongue in cheek hence my qip back Maybe you need some wine too!

Prehaps! But I'm not perfect or as good a you, so it's wine for me, I should have got some barcardi in and it wouldn't have done was much damaged maybe

I'm a size 16 currently and have got down from a 16 to size 10 before after losing a total of 2.5st. This time I am only 2st from my size 10 size!?! Confused so am I!? 4 kids later my body will never be the same again anyway x

+2 for me Daz, boo me! Stressy week at work....solution wine and choc when I get home! I'm back on it today, fry up brunch and chili tonight x

Ah crap! My hubby out of work as of few week ago too, I'm fulltime so can just about keep us afloat for now! Always see these things as they Might b a sign for better things to come n his employer sounds unfair and unjust anyway x

1lb off for me x

Hope everything ok x

I done this a few week ago , you'll prob find my thread, I lost 1lb that week after drawing a line and starting again....with 10 syns a day still and I ate more than you! X

Well done you! I lost 10lbs since 29 dec so pleased with myself although I could have prob done more if could resist temptation better!!

Was weighed Friday night 1lb off again x

My weigh in is tomorrow, can you still count for jan though?

If you learn them to control it now and no hiding food or strict with certain foods I think they'll be fine x

There pretty good thanks. I work full time so there in a good routine up at 6am sleep by 6pm oldest to by 8pm. Noah's 7m and wakes at 3am so not to bad!! I think you just get used to not sleeping! I love hubby's point of view over others though, I have friends that are under a great amount of...

Ah thanks! Made me feel better....can sleep easy! Nite nite

6lb for me please :)

Daz hon, I lost 5.5 that 1st week, you just ain't counted it in x soz I should have noticed by now!!

Mine was when I had postnatal with my first baby, 10yrs ago, she was incredible hard work, never slept, never content, I was left to cope at home when I was used to working all day..gained 2st after the birth and then had my 2nd whilst still overweight 2yrs later. I Lost 2.5st for my wedding and...

This was me last week!! Loads of support on here, I just got back to it the day after and lost 1lb this week and it star week!! Just or get about today and start again tomorrow cx

You can get it over my way in north west cumbria too xx yum

Wow well done you

How about a date that you want to be at a certain size or stone in weight? Or a dress/outfit to wear?

Another 1lb off. 9lb in 4 week quite good going for me

1lb off, u just forgot about it and started again the next day, something I wouldn't have usually done, I would have kept going thinking I've ruined it anyway. X

Thanks you! That's what happened too....look where I'm at. My kids need to learn to moderate their treats and there not overweight

I'm having that today for when I snack the most when kids are in bed x

I believe that in moderation treats biscuits cakes whatever are fine for children to have and if they don't learn to moderate treats they might to, like my mum, like me, end up overweight and with a binge habit.

Yeah I stuck to 5yns and I've lost a 1lb today at weigh in, after the damage I could have done, 1lbs fine!!

Another 1lb off for me! It's kinda slow but heading the right way....>

What channel was that?

Thank you all! Feel back on track this am, not going to let yesterday get to me. That French toast idea sounded lovely x

Kids, and I usually don't eat them either, just couldn't help myself

I was doing so well on my diet today then got home, ate 5 cookies, 2 choc digestive, 4 pink wafers, 2 Jaffa cakes, quavers and 2 slice of bread! A French fancy, a small mars bar! Feel bad and sick now!! Urghhh so mad with myself! What a pig!!! And why! Coz I'm tired and needed a pick up, not...

Ha fab ;)

Well I'm happy with at least 1lb down to the support on here, Daz's 1lb off fat pic and smurfettes realisation that 1lb in 6m is 2.5st exactly what I need off!!

But then I realised it's actually 8lb, it wasn't to I checked my SW book that I realised. Duh! 8 stones now in my jar.....going to try extra hard for 2lbs this week but I seem to be more content then ever with my 1lb losses now....Daz also sent me a motivational pic of a 1lb block of at! Yuk x

Note to self: must eat! X

And you've smashed that 14lb goal!!!

She's right, no offence caused I'm sure! ;)

How did you weigh in this week

Sunday dinner curtesy of dad!!

Bacon sarnie 2x cups of tea

You know what I've just realised... I haven't been giving myself the praise I deserve! 28th dec I was 174lbs to date I'm 166lbs that's an 8lb loss in 3 week!!! 1lb this week 1.5 last week 5.5lb my 1st week (which actually showed a 0.5 gain over Xmas) so I confused myself, whoop to me!!

1st in 3 weeks great. I've only managed 2.5 in two week so far or if I count 3rd week (but wasn't official weigh in at meeting between Xmas & new year) I've lost 8lb.

Yeah I just can't stop! Lost 1lb this week, I'm not going to get too disappointed with myself over a 1lb loss now tho, like I do in the past!

Your on a roll!!

So much so I replied twice Not sarky....more... to the point!!

Ohhhhh well that kinda cheered me up! ;) ha

Ohhh well that kinda cheered me up! Haha

1lb for me Daz :) better than nowt eh!

Chili n jacket potato, roll on dinner time

Scrambled egg and toast.....can't wait

Well I've really done well resisting temptation this week, work buffet and meals out etc, can feel a diff in my belly so would be really please to see any lose tomorrow! X how you get on?

When a stressful day work n home it's a release thing for me to just grab! Ok when I've had it! Better than a bottle of wine eh!!

Sounds like a plan

Wow well done you!!

How you get on?

You seem to eat way better than me! Today No breakfast (bad I know) Tuna roll (HEb) Penguin 5syns Fruit salad Chicken Veg Potatoes Gravy 2 syns Yorkshire 2 syns Penguin (again!!) 5syns Syns 14

Sounds good, I haven't been hungry yet either which is a good thing and I hope I don't get too bored of the meals, need to make an effort to make meals varied x

Well back to it after having a blip sat sun! Why do it do it?! Focused now

I took this to with work last week with rice it was lovely and v filling

Yeah n there nice rnt they

Mine were a wooing 3lbs wrong!

Yes I think your right, I too easily can turn bad every day. That's it then, group I stay! Thanks

Yeah I think when I know I have to weigh in, I'm much better that week

Yep stomach and hate my fat bits on my back!! But you never know, your scales could be wrong today!

Wow well done x

I'd do extra easy if I was you, n find another drink than lager! You'll do fine, n you'll b surprised what you can do

Ha well in that case mine would be WINE (whisky, Indian, nibbles and eclair (choc cream variety) one hell of a sat night in !!

I think the support on here suffices to be fair, doesn't it?

I think of it as 1lb a week and someone just pointed out that I would b at target in 6m if I stick to that loss! I suppose you gotta think of bigger picture hey!

I know and I never seen it as 2.5st in 6m, although I do for myself a goal of 1lb at least a week! Maybe I should stop weighing at home!? Back on it today though Breakfast Hb & ha cheese bread and coleslaw (3syn) (it's what I fancied?!) Lunch Chicken bacon salad yum Dinner Chicken curry &...

Thanks and I am pleased with 1.5, I go to class purely for the fact I have to weigh in every week and it gives me a target/goal for that week, otherwise it would be a case of "I'll start tomorrow" everyday. I'll crack on with this week regardless x

I know but it will get to me all week I know it! X

Gona have chicken curry n rice always feels like a bit naughty

Cheese n coleslaw sarnie! Don't ask! It was my comfort breakfast after weigh in this am! Il be good from now on....

Oops but you know when to expect a gain usually don't you? Well most the time it's because we had a wee slip up, sure you'll have that off next week plus more x

Yeah I did same time same place too, but I suppose you do question reliability of home scales! Il do my best again today and see what the result is next week and compare scales again. I know a lot on here just weigh from home too so it can be done

As long as they went bk to original weigh in I shouldn't worry, I know from past exp that 1.5 will get to me all week now, but I'm trying to b real positive n I'm in 11s n it's 1.5 off not on! :) it will be a hard week :(

Ha that's a bit crappy then, but it's saying 2lb off again? Well done you though that's great. Mine were same as SW last week! Il give it a go again this week, but last week was an exceptional good week for me, which why I believe in the 5lb mine say, but hey il aim for the 1lb again! X

Although plenty do weigh in at home look at the online members success

Yeah your prob right, can't have done as well as I thought then

Really really well, I'm baffled by 1.5 been so focused and planned everything drank loads more (coffee! Ha) Tempted to weigh in at home from now on, my scales at home last week weighed me same as SW last week, this week I jumped on scale before weigh in and my scales said 5lb loss, got to SW...

Tempted to weigh in at home from now on, my scales at home last week weighed me same as SW last week, this week I jumped on scale before weigh in and my scales said 5lb loss, got to SW weigh in and scales said 1.5lb off!!! Disheartening eh! I've been really really good too, what does everyone...

1.5 off disappointed I've done really well, what's annoying is my scales from last week to this week said 5lb off!! SW scales said 1.5lb :((

My sons 7m too bag I lost 1.5 this week, bit disappointed as thought id lose more I've been so good but as I see it 1lb a week = 52lb this time next year x

1.5 off for me x disappointed id done really well but hey ho! 1lb a week is my minimum goal loss a week :)

When do you weigh in? I'm tomorrow am

I can't never stop them Danish wafers! I'm weighed tomorrow am, fingers x

Wow well done you!! And that's without syns too, but use them if you feel your going without or you may well binge! Xx

How are you doing this week?

Well on a whole a difficult week, sickness bug 3/4 kids, first day back at work on 3hr sleep, and then my 6m in hospital all night n day too. In a whole I've managed to stay well on the diet n I hope it show's on sat. Anybody else had weigh in for week 2? How did it go?

You might find not eating the syns doesn't help, but there I you need them aren't they

It is yeah, I'm at work all day but keeps me focused when I get home not to pig out

I know I weigh myself all the time and then beat myself up over it! Scales today suggested 3lb off but I know too well that can change! Saturday weigh in so sometime still to go! Sounds like your on track well done

Sliced gammon, chicken couscous and rocket salad, it was really nice !

A 1lb loss each week will see you 52lb lighter this time next year!!!! X good luck

Don't get down about post baby weight, my youngest is 6m and I haven't lost a single pound since despite trying really hard, with being tired and emotional food becomes your friend! It took 9m for that weight to go on and it can take 9m to settle back down x Just get back to making lovely...

I had that exact pain and it was diagnosis of gallstones I've just in June had my gallbladder out, seek gp advice ASAP as the "attacks" can be awful x good luck

Yeh sat 8am for me! I'm working in medical education for the NHS, similar role to what I was doing before mat leave but all new people and ways of working but I'm looking forward to it as well. I think it will give me a boost for losing weight as I can't eat all day! Ha Well good luck for fri...

I'm about the same, mum to 4 Aged 6m, 3, 8 & 10, I've not Lost any of the baby weight yet despite being in group throughout and after pregnancy! I rejoined class on Saturday and I am really egar to get this weight off too. I found these forums really helpful and have been sooo good on diet since...

Ever tried to keep a diary? That way you could pencil feelings down, close the diary and have something syn free to eat, like a bit of therapy?!

Ah great thanks, I can run into both tomorrow after work. Cheers

The one you add water too is free if that's any good? Like batcherlors etc

Hiya gals Think your doing the right thing going to a meeting They weigh first usually so you can just turn up there upto 30min after group start time. The consultant will then ask that she speaks to you either before or after the meeting to explain everything to you. You'll get weighed and...

I haven't microwave at work either that was my dilemma for going back to work too. Salads, sarnies, pasta, curry loaf n couscous n soup in a flask for me (not all together)

Pretty ok, weighed in sat 0.5 on in 4weeks so wasn't bad at all. Then I've just been chilling with the kids and spending time with them before I start back at work tomorrow and their back at school/nursery. Batch cooked lunches and dinners today (never do that!) so feeling focused, nervous about...

Yea it's annoying, I find that I lose if I go to class though I can't do it without that weigh in. How you getting on your own?

Stew steak, potatoes, parsnips, veg

I'm still trying to lose my baby weight too, started again and got weighed on sat am. Is there a friend or family that wants to lose weight too? Could weigh in together, create bit competitive spirit x good luck

I think everyone is really positive on here about losing the excess pounds gained at Christmas, stay in touch and you might just click and have the motivation to have a good day x

Again another good day!

Toast n marmalade ummm

Yeah but you could have some more soup or something else that's free tonight couldn't you ?

Yeah it would boost the confidence that I can do it xx that's what I need

Ha after all that gagging! Mine was too.....but I didn't make it xx

God yeah bet it's hard work, shame no sugar substitute, could always have mini mars bars in the fridge x

Was thinking the same

Hey not to bad tho!! Your right to drawing a line under it and start a fresh today, don't dwell on syns! Not too bad, weighed today first weigh in since 06.12.13 and I gained 1/2lb! I'd been good this week so think I might have undid some of the bad done because I was a complete pig! Ha So...

I'm the same at work I asked on here just the other day, find thread lunch ideas, some good ideas given to me n others x good luck

Loads of fiber hun!

Find my thread ideas for lunches only this week was given some fab ideas n cheap too, curry loaf yum!! C Good luck

Yeah mine no good either, kids eh!?!

You stopped checking out that flatter tum yet?! Ha

Good well hopefully today goes to plan too. Yesterday i done sales in town with 2/4 kids and they had Gregg's and mcdonalds n cookies, me.....homemade lentil soup, that's sooo vv good for me, I usually cannot say no to temptation, so that was the SW factor for me yesterday x

Ah thanks yeah baby's r my thing! But no more!!! I've a two jam jars, one filled with pebbles pained by the kids, for every pound I plan to lose with go in the empty jam jar, it in my kitchen n it keeps me going. I can find this thread through 'current & participated" on my mobile app, not...

I like other people cooking best!

Oh no! Is there a quick fix for you that's free?

Sounds like me! I was 9st 10 before wedding and 2/4 kids and Slimming world would prob fit in with your way I life, I've been on both SW and WW but I myself have 4 kids work fulltime and SW is really manageable, plus the SW forum on here is great and keeps you motivated x good luck

Homemade veg n Lentil soup

How you doing so far?

Yeah it does, well hope you have a good week again this week! X

Yeah it will looking forward to school starting back and I'm back at work, gives a bit more structure to the days

Yea I tend to write a day off or a treat I don't syn. Not going to do that though from now on, doesn't seem worth it now x

2lb into 11s

Yeah she always tells it how it is! Do you have a day off or a treat on weigh days? I always have tended too but came to realise that I probably am compensating for it, the rest of the week

Yeahhh!!!

Go can only imagine what my hubby would have said if id woke him up! I had to drag all the kids with me too, hubby at work 6-6 so they were all waiting for the results....Daughters word of wisdom "well 1/2 on isn't bad after the amount you ate Xmas day" Ella aged 10. Errrrr thanks!

Enjoy and good luck, let's us know how you got on next week

Well coffee it is for me this week! Start back at work Monday so I suspect il be drinking more than usual anyway....coffee that is (not wine!!)

Are you resetting your goal then? 14lbs in jan??? Go on....

You must feel a huge difference? Did you scream! I would have!! Ha . I took my before photos this am, hoping for a good "first week" when I go again next week, would b happy with 2lb+ to get me back in 11s

Whoop well done you!! That's my entire goal for January ha

Weigh in was 8am, 0.5lb on in 4 week so happy with that, I cannot get over 10lb loss! That is amazing! Did you just go back to basics?

Oh my god you little star! You must have been really good. I'd put on 0.5lb in 4 week over Xmas n new year, so I can report my first weigh in next sat x

Scrambled egg on toast....lots of coffee!

Yes I've not slept a wink ahead of weigh in this morning!! Yawn

Hiya, just checking in, how are you doing? No menu for yesterday?

Weigh day today, haven't slept well, I'd be happy to know I've controlled damage limitation this week and perhaps gained 1 or 2lbs or even better STS. Isn't that terrible...worrying over your weight!?

Well suppose when new to these things, you wouldn't necessarily know where to look, hence new thread

Thanks for that Hun, really appreciate it. Gonna try it out today

You wana live in my house #wifeswop with 4 kids n a full time job.....god I'm tired out! Might be stupid suggestion but have you tried swimming or exercise late 9-10pm? When I have it knocks me for six!

Me too 6m ago, lost 6.5lb had an op out of action for a while, a break at Christmas and started again 27th dec. like you I've all the motivation to do it!! Let's hope it's doesn't run empty in another 6m! X good luck

Good luck x

Oh nice where's that from? Def seems to be popular drinking the tea so I'll give it a blast

God well done for the 3st loss tho! Sure you'll have that gain off in no time, you pro! Ha Good luck, give us a shout if ever need a nudge or virtual hug! I'm 32, 4 kids 6m, 3, 8,10 and back at work Monday! So excited but I really wish if gone back having lost the baby weight! (Haven't lost a...

How you getting on?

Ah thanks. I know it has health benefits and seen that a lot on here drinking it and wondered if it helped their weight loss too. Never had it, but I don't drink enough during the day, maybe 1/2 tea and 1pt water so my aim is to up the fluids this week, considered green tea

Do you really think drinking green tea helps? How many cups would you need to drink? Has anyone used green tea and seen the benefits?

Wouldn't beat yourself over a blip. Back to it this morning and if you need a biscuit have then (use your syns) n leave it there! I have a mid morning crisis and need choc, I have it , then I'm over if for rest of the day x good luck

First time on here but agree supports phenomenal and credit to SW diet it does work. You'll start feeling loads better after today too. I'm going for my shopping now, start work Monday so bit trickier to plan for but can only try!! Good luck guys x

I was always told 3 of each x congrats too

Some fab ideas though

God your like a book of SW treats to eat ha, thanks, never even thought of a flask! N curry loaf?! That sounds lovely

Yarh both would make a change thanks

Under 11.7, 5lb to go

Well done you!

Mines upstairs with the eldest boy on his....it's my time n my tele! (Grrrrr)

Lunch ideas to take to work next week Any ideas what I can take for lunch to work next week (all week). I plan on taking a fruit bowl and filling it too, but what can I prepare at home and eat at work, knowing il grab toast on way out in the morning so that's HEb used. Oh and there's no...

All in it together xx

Is it me being paranoid or loads on tele tonight about being fat!!! Who's hinting!! Lol

Good yeah, toast and peanut butter, ravioli for dinner and chilli and rice for tea. Had small bar of choc from aldi out of my syns today too. Said no to bottle of wine when husband offered to get one on way home, that's good going for me! Happy day :)

Just starting that rigmarole now!!

Yea I'm having same bother, you can go online on your mobile n do it from safari/google on the fullsite tho

I know! Poor woman must be starved! Il have a word with consultant but I mentioned it to GP said was pretty normal to be food sensitive for a while

Wouldn't worry were it's from, pretty much all the same Sound nice though and you survived lunch out! Well done

Yea I was with SW post pregnancy n had really bad attacks during and after, so they decided to op not long after birth. But since I can't seem to figure it out. Definitely eating veg is worse tho!

Ok so that's what our aim is then, by march were in the 10s for sure!

Who you calling bear?! Haha, bloody typos

FYI Avoid unless labeled 'gluten-free' In general, avoid the following foods unless they're labeled as gluten-free or made with corn, rice, soy or other gluten-free grain: Beer Breads Cakes and pies Candies Cereals Cookies and crackers Croutons French fries Gravies Imitation meat or seafood...

Is two jam jars, 1 filled with 40 pebbles (kids painted them!) and for every lb I lose the kids will move the pebbles over to the empty jar

Seems long way but Im trying not to get worked up about it, your theory of a 1lb a week seems more realistic target to cope with without beating myself up if I let myself down one week!

Oh thank you! I will look up gluten free stuff then, wow 6 dress sizes!

Sounds good, what's for dinner?

Amen

It's best to be obsessed with SW and doing well rather than picking at those biscuits n sweets everyone at work brings in, because their on a diet!! Haha Sounds like your on track to a good weight loss year x

Little steps Hun 7lb at a time x

Yeah I agree I'm 5ft 3, last weigh in was 11lb 12 so there about b would a good start for the new year. I've been 9st 10lb but that was 3yrs ago before my 3rd baby so haven't seen those numbers in some time now, my daughters 10 and she's started picking up on my insecurities I think, she tells...

How many syns?

Is two jam jars, 1 filled with 40 pebbles (kids painted them!) and for every lb I lose the kids will move the pebbles over to the empty jar

Join the thread for January challenge here too, very motivating x

You can log your meals on this thread, then you can always look back and also log your feeling of the day. I log mine online at SW too keeps me on track or I take a pic of what I've eaten on my phone x good luck....Claire

"Your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do" "Don't fear tomorrow or regret the past; live for whats now and never look back" Both quotes I think are apt for us peps!

It will be quick to come off and hey it's life and you'll do same next year, as we all do! But you had a great Xmas and it's done now, here's to the new year! :) x

Im 32, n Had my gallbladder taken out 5 weeks after my 4th baby back in June. I know I've to change my diet as my body is now learning to cope without a gallbladder, and I'm no longer breastfeeding. So I wondered if anyone else in the same boat? I find if I eat certain foods esp veg, my stomachs...

I'd like to think I can beat the Xmas gaining trend, that I'm reading on here, when I weigh in on Sat am, but as long as I haven't gone into the 12's I'll be happy, defiantly must stay in the 11s in January! Would love to see the 10s (and my toes!) some time soon too :)

Mugshot n fruit

Peanut butter and toast (H b)

Go online to the full site rather than mobile site/app might be easier for you, good luck

Well enjoy! Like I say feels like a naughty meal but it really isn't

Yea I'm going to think of it like that, if I lost that by this time next year id be so pleased with myself!

I think we should keep this thread going throughout the year, be good to look back on, could be used as a blog, daily weekly monthly whatever but would definitely capture a journey....hopefully to our weigh loss goals! Like a virtual diary!? :)

Here to us then! Cheers

Honk honk

Tara you've same time goals as me too!

I think we will need AA after SW ha :)) have a good one gals, reach for the bacon & egg butties in the morning...best "free" hangover food ever!

I think you should try staying for classes, you are paying for that extra support and no one in that class feels comfortable or gloating! Their supportive and know exactly how bad you feel right now whether their at goal or not! Good luck, I've 40lbs to lose I'm 11st 12lb at tho moment would...

Try drinking loads water, take mind off the hungry feeling too x don't worry bout the carbs thing either

Yea 1 syn for it all! It's really nice too, also there tin spaghetti is free and it's just as good as branded ones. I love ravioli it feels like a bad treat as it's quite comforting esp with cheese on top! Yum

Yup

That's a great way of thinking it! That's my goal 1lb a week would be massive achievement this time next year!!

Yea 1 syn for it all! It's really nice too, also there tin spaghetti is free and it's just as good as branded ones. I love ravioli it feels like a bad treat as it's quite comforting esp with cheese on top! Yum

Well I ordered pizzas I don't like and got a low cal wine....I think that's pretty good going for me! The Doritos and dip r bugging me a bit but il remember how I'll feel if I don't lose anything on Saturday weigh in! It had to come off...all of it!! I've 4 kids n always stayed in before them...

Hubby at work to 10pm so me n kids gona eat pizza (melon for me) and watch a film til he comes home, them il crack open the vino! Happy new year new you!

I agree with above replies, think about setting another target, getting to another number stone or 7lbs at a time. I want 2.5st off and it's been really tough but I'm motivated now, since having to buy size 16 work clothes to return to work after 6m (maternity leave) I really want to be wearing...

Motivated to get into slimmer and better looking clothes ! It's not that I'm a size 16 that's frustrated me but all the unsightly flab too....I want to be buying size 12 clothes this time 6 months hopefully x

Aldi ravioli (1syn) and toast topped with healthy A cheese, yum!

Yes! Here goes! Have you much to lose?

Thanks and good luck you!! X

Day 3 restart ? (Actually lost count!) Baby no4 6m old now so can't even use that excuse! I start my new job next week and I have bought brand new work clothes.....size 16! Reaaly motivated me to want to lose weight now I'm so fed up of my extra weight, new year, new me, slim, happy, confident...

10lbsplease!!!!

Tuna pasta always a good one or if busy a mugshot n fruit x

Failed to make any dramatic change to weight since nov so this time i must try harder!! Start a new job jan and I think that actually might help me out. Today nit to bad but gutted to find out mini cheddars 6.5syns a pack!
