Thankyou Kathy for your kind words :) I have lots of toning up to do but admit im a bit lazy with the exercise except walking lol x

Hi Caz my little boy is 12 weeks on Monday started slimming world last jan & stuck to it loosely during pregnancy well done on being half a pound lighter than when you found out that's brilliant :)

Hiya how is everyone?? ive decided to weigh fortnightly at group, not in any rush but certainly haven't given up either just suits me better to weigh every 2 weeks :) Think I might change my target to 11.10 as im a size 12 to 14 at the moment & have no desire to be a size 10 so I think another...

Good luck fiddlegirl im sure you will have done great :)

wow not long at all next month you will have a baby :) .Ive gone for a side by side one which will be more comfortable for Casey as the one at the moment he can nearly climb out of & Cooper is in the back of the one at the moment tandem style & cant see anything except the back of Caseys hood...

you are doing so well Pink cant see you staying in the 12s for long :) x

Hi ladies yes Jenn im still floating around lol.Cooper is 9 weeks old & I wont lie has been the hardest of my babies to figure out! He doesn't like the pushchair,playmat,bouncy chair or anything really except me holding him of course! The hardest part is him not liking the pushchair as really...

wow well done you look lovely :) very good weight loss in 10 months too x

so happy to say goodbye to the 13s they did not want to let go of me haha xx Feels really strange that the next stone bracket is where my target is,incredibly proud that ive not given up on something I want for me,noone else :)

message

So I joined group on Monday weighing in at 13st 12 was bit of a shock was wearing clothes & was at tea time not morning but still disappointed Im nearer 14 stone than 13 & my scales need binning lol that being said ive accepted it ,thats my start point & being at group does keep you in check :)...

oh my goodness Jenn 9 weeks left that has gone quick!! I actually missed my bump yesterday & Cooper isn't even 5 weeks old yet crazy or what lol & im hungrier now than when I was pregnant!

wow you come so far in such a short space of time too Well done you must be chuffed :) x

ooh hard to tell Missy Im going to say boy :) xx

so sorry you are going through this :( I have always known when my periods are as write it on a calendar but my dates never matched up with hospital & a heartbeat is very positive sign,stay strong sweetie xx

well done hun you got there :) :) x

Good luck Daisy im sure everything will be fine cant wait to find out what you are having xx

Thanks Missy will try not to be too hard on myself my body is still adjusting after giving birth so need to remember to be kind to myself & be patient! I always make the mistake of waiting until I have about 4 or 5 stone to lose before joining group so joining group mon so I don't go backwards...

Decision made back to group on Monday :)

sts for me this week,little disappointed in myself as made some really silly choices at times but just felt more hungry than usual! Will try much harder as really want to see the 12s! Hope you all have good losses this week :) x

not having a great week,been really hungry even more than when I was breastfeeding very strange! Hoping to not get a gain tomorrow a sts would be great.Hope you all having a good week on plan I will def be better next week :)

Hi Everyone Cooper is fine although will not settle at night so wont lie im finding it tough with toddler during the day with very little sleep! Just keep reminding myself that it will get easier lol xx Glad you are all doing well I went overboard on mothers day so might be maintaining this week...

Brilliant effort & amazing loss over 7 weeks :) x

wow Flash harry just looked at your stats you are smashing it!!! Any tips? x

2lb off! Delighted with that,getting close to the 12s :) Starting to feel like im actually going to do this,scared & excited at the same time!

Thankyou :) weigh day tomorrow know that I wont have a big whoosh as already lost over a stone from giving birth & also stopped breastfeeding now so not sure if that will make any difference? Flashharry my older two are 13 & 9 so at school & pretty good kids its the youngest two which are...

Hi stranger wondered where you went,congrats on the pregnancy :) ive just had another little boy 23rd feb xx

congrats on your first stone and embracing syns :) You are doing great x

Hi Bec you sound like me too,lost weight so many times over the years only to put it back on! Wishing you all the best & my advice is to keep coming on the forum I have been regularly since last jan & even with a pregnancy inbetween its kept me from going back to my old ways :)

Good week food wise so far,not a great day yest with tiredness & appointments & a bit of stress but didn't reach for the biscuits or chocolate so that's something! still getting used to being a mother of 4 & keeping on top of the housework feels like im going round in circles & trying to do...

its funny because when I was pregnant I was having weekends off plan & most of the time I wasn't really enjoying what I was eating just scoffing for the sake of it! Cant explain how much better it feels to wake up knowing you had a good day the day before.I think you are still in with a good...

so relieved for you pregnantsw :) such a worrying time could they find any reason for the bleeding? They didn't with me the second time, take it easy xx

:( don't beat yourself hun it happens to us all just try not to let it spoil your week & get back on plan tomorrow :) xx

Thankyou all,I really do feel without the forum & all the inspiring diaries id be 17 stone now & facing yet another summer in jumpers & cardigans with my kids missing out x

off to get baby registered this morning, hubby back at work so have got the task of getting there by foot or bus with double/tandem buggy (cant decide) prob walk in & bus back.Hope everyone has a good day x

thanks girls :) Jo you must be super slim 10 stone at 5ft 6 well done an amazing loss! Im looking forward to the last part of my journey def doesn seem as daunting as when I had 4 and half stone to lose.I generally write down in a note book what I eat each day Missy but happy to share what I eat...

My little boy was 2 weeks old yesterday :) Started last Jan at 16 stone got pregnant in june & tried to eat as healthy as possible following sw loosely & having weekends off & managed to only gain 10lb.Now weighing 13st 5 so have 1st 12 to get to target :) Will be Following green plan mainly...

I had bleeding at 10 weeks & 5 weeks in 2 of my pregnancies so try not to worry I know how hard it is & how frightening it is :( xx I did get scanned both times just to see what was happening sending you hugs xx

I was so unhappy with my weight after the last pregnancy that's what is motivating me to get to target this year,even a pound a week will mean I do it by October which will soon come round :) xx

wow Missy would never think you were 20 weeks pregnant you look amazing must be all the exercise you do :) x

thankyou :) doing well so far he sleeps a lot during the day & is awake a lot during the night but been waking up between 3 & 4am since last pregnancy anyway so not a problem for me was prob my body preparing me lol.managed 2 days on plan this week,yest went a bit wrong but looking forward to...

hi still doing amazing I see :) I had my little boy on the 23rd feb can you let me know how many he x I can have when breastfeeding? prob wont join group for a couple weeks will see how I get on but normally follow green plan x

my little boy was too young to understand so ive just tried to keep his routine as similar to what it was before so as not to disrupt his life & hubby has been off work & giving him lots of love & attention.My older kids there was bigger gaps so this is all new to me & it is daunting but so far...

wow well done you that's an amazing loss :) I only gained 10lb in last pregnancy by doing sw loosely during the week & having weekends off & my baby weighed 8lb 2 so its perfectly safe & healthy.Im sure you can keep losing for a few weeks too, theres a thread on here with lots of lovely ladies...

congrats :)

Thanks Daisy cant believe hes over a week old already he is fitting into the family nicely.Casey my 20 month old has been on & off & not sure what to make of the intruder yet lol xx

ahh thankyou ladies I had him naturally waters broke at 4am which has never happened before so was new to me! Getting into a routine quickly after being awake for 40hrs straight,had some sleep last night & feel almost human again.Missy thankyou your words made me well up,Ive lost just over a...

Hi Ladies happy to announce Baby Cooper born yest 9.47am weighing 8lb 2 xx

I agree, without fat,grease,oil, sugar etc..in meals you get hungry quite quickly after eating a large portion of something,well I know I did in the past anyway! I would always have a really hungry day where I would binge because no matter how much sw food I ate nothing would satisfy the...

you should def hear heartbeat how lovely, & be sure to ask if they don't do it xx

I refused the sweep jenn just seeing what happens :) seeing midwife again mon so will see how I feel after the weekend,been really lucky that its not dragged this time xx

woke up bursting with excitement today :) sun is out & cant wait to meet my little boy soon,hope everyone is feeling good xx

so didn't have the sweep but can have one if I change my mind just have to call district midwife! Really wish I had this choice last time when I was nearly 18 stone,miserable & pregnant in a heatwave but hey ho that's life I guess.I started showing with my 2nd really early nikki & 3rd not so...

Hi Missy im good thankyou :) due to have a sweep today but going to refuse just don't feel its necessary yet, would be handy to have him in half term but its not guaranteed to work & would like him to come when he is ready.Might regret this decision later lol but feels like the right one today.I...

haha bless him that made me smile :) xx

thanks hun that's reassuring,there will be a 20 month gap.4 yrs between my first 2 then an 8 yr gap so will be all new to me & just worried my little man will feel pushed out.im sure we will get into a routine quickly & it will become normality just hormones going crazy at the min!

not necessarily you are allowed up to 15 syns & rice is free although it doesn't agree with everyone.I always have a sts around week 4 even if ive done nothing different think its just your body catching up with the new way of eating or time of month etc..Keep at it it will show next week :)

Lovely pram Jenn :) My kids have 2 more days at school then week off might actually be handy if baby arrives in half term as not sure I can handle many more school runs walking like you have a bowling ball between your legs isn't much fun lol.Took my pushchair out the box just to check its all...

Thanks :) my last son was born june 2013 & I messed around gaining weight until jan 2014 don't want to make that mistake again would really like to hit target this year x

oh Nicki sounds awful.last thing you need its such a worrying time as it is first trimester.Hope the booking in goes well & you get your scan date today :) x

ahh sorry you didn't get a loss this week im sure it will show next week with a whoosh.I normally get a maintain week 4 on any plan! I tried the rice pudding yest so yummy had to keep checking online it was free because it just seemed too naughty & filling to be free lol.Been stocking up with...

booked into see midwife on the 16th feb so prob have sweep then depending how I feel on the day they aren't the most comfortable of things lol Your husband is a gem Missy Happy Birthday :) xx

You don't look fat at all! You both look very trim infact.I have to admit Im not keen on being ill as ibuprofen works wonders for me for pain relief & you cant take it when pregnant :( Im 38 weeks next sat Jenn,my eldest sons bday tomorrow & daughters bday next sun shes having 5 teenage friends...

my rather large bump :)

wow you look fantastic Missy glad your migraines have gone too :) I had to go for a scan yest as had static growth for 2 weeks (fundal height) Just means baby has dropped to me but they scan for that now apparently well everything was fine although they want to start sweeps at 38 weeks as they...

that's funny I made the oat cookies yest absolutely vile lol x

headache from hell since yest tea time just wont shift :( drowning in water but just making me pee not good,hos everyone else getting on? x

another great loss :) I cant wait to get stuck in in few weeks very inspiring :) xx

Good luck with weigh in food looks lovely :)

yay its still a girl lol god yeh can you imagine being told a boy after being told a girl I think you can trust the scans these days to get it right,my Mum still says I could have a girl even though every scan its been a boy bless her xx

Hi Chloe just replied on the other thread also.Have you got any sw books or done it before? Would def recommend giving it a go 13 weeks is still time to lose a bit or maintain,I would suggest weighing yourself to see where you are,scary I know but you need to have a rough idea & a size 14-16 at...

You can start sw any time at home if you have any knowledge of the plan? If you want to join a group you will have to get a note from consultant for midwife to sign.My advice is you still have 13 weeks to either lose or maintain & slimming world is great for this when pregnant as you can have...

oh no missy :( migraines are just the worst! First had one at 15 & was the worst pain had a few over the years not nice,dont worry about the food side of things if we weren't well xx

congrats on getting into the 12s,always a good feeling getting into the next stone bracket you are doing so well :)

brilliant Dolly just goes to show you can get through xmas without a massive gain,I had a week off over xmas but was careful beforehand & it really did minimise the weightgain :) Gingerbread coffee sounds amazing!!

I know so excited,head was engaged last week so the pressure down there is unreal but know it could pop out again anytime.Thats great you can spread the cost ,makes it much easier :)

yeh will fit nicely in the boot of the car & managed to order it from the catalogue so frees up a bit of cash as feb is such an expensive month for us already xx

just looked at the bugaboo its lovely,I like the idea of the pram & the forward facing seat for toddler,too big for me tho which im sure hubby will be pleased cos of the price haha xx

im getting the sienta duo which is a tandem style so can fit on the bus,I walk up the school daily too & chose it as the front seat reclines aswell as the back one,only 2 positions but my little boy can try & nap if he wants.Ive looked at so many they all have such mixed reviews its difficult...

4 an half weeks to go it really is going fast just ordered my double buggy & trying to organise my older childrens bdays for feb lots to do but its all coming together.I had a couple headaches this pregnancy missy it sucks as paracetamol doesn't touch them mine were prb from not drinking enough...

all good here Jenn just had the health visitor come over with my red book :) haven't seen her since just after last baby & she said Ive lost weight & look fab which was lovely didn't expect her to remember what I looked like to be honest lol xx

here to subscribe also.what a great loss in 19 weeks :) How did you do it over xmas? x

Do what works for you hun its your journey & not up to anybody else,you have lost 8 stone & that is inspiring!! Most people following any plan do their own tweaks even if they don't admit to it to others in group.For example id generally have a lower carb /calorie day before weigh in whether...

Hi kwills congrats on your pregnancy hopefully the morning sickness is on the way out now ,its so hard to eat well when you feel so lousy.2 stone weight gain last time is really good so you shouldn't have a problem only gaining a little this time :)

Hi Naemae massive well done on losing 8 stone what an achievement!! How much more do you want to lose? I struggled at the beginning between calories & sw never done vlcd tho maybe that's where ive gone wrong lol but you will lose weight on sw if you stick to it without counting calories you just...

great going on cutting out the sugar missy! Im trying to cut down as makes my feet swell that & the salt.still cant go without my hotchoc & curly wurly tho after tea xx

so lovely Daisy :) Hows the sickness hope its easing off xx

I think we should all be taking tips from you ,you are doing fab :) Baby no 4 for me & a massive weight gain last time has made me be careful what I eat this time plus the fact my youngest is 19 months keeps me on my toes.Still have weekends off & have tendency to binge eat :( but ive gained...

such a brilliant loss on your first week you will soon be in the 12s :) Ive got 5 1/2 weeks til due date & then hopefully this will be my year to get to target & hopefully a stone loss after birth will be a good start for me fingers crossed x

all the best at the scan missy will we get to see a pic? xx

it is nerve wracking especially when you have worked hard to lose weight beforehand & don't want to undo all your hard work! Unfortunately people that aren't pregnant aren't always understanding of this & think you shouldn't diet or watch what you eat when pregnant but in my opinion when I went...

Hi ladies just wanted to update that the growth scan on fri estimated baby weighing 5lb 1 oz with a rather large tummy? Head was normal size tho so that's the main thing I guess lol not sure they are that accurate could be looking at a 9lb baby with just under 7 weeks to go xx Thinking of you...

Hi sweetpink well done on only an 8lb gain that's fab :) I think it does feel like you have been pregnant forever with your first & then when they arrive it goes so quickly!

they will measure the nuchal fold area back of babies neck & take bloods, when I was low risk I had no call & results in the post a few days later,when I was high risk I had a phonecall the same day as nuchal fold was above 3.5mm xx

aww I thinks its lovely Jenn all those big brothers to protect her,some female company for you & shopping for pink :) Love my boys but I miss all the girly clothes etc...from my daughter 13 yrs ago! I wouldn't worry too much nicki about consultant care ive had to be because of polycystic kidneys...

welcome to you & congratulations :) Sounds like we are all in the same boat & hoping to keep weight gain to a minimum during pregnancy lol.If your tired Jenn its fine to do nothing its what your body is telling you! You will prob have more energy around 20 weeks :) Have you got over the shock of...

Hi ladies & congrats :) Its def possible to lose a bit the first few weeks depending on morning sickness & how much your appetite increases.I put on nearly 5 stone last time,this time only 10lb so far & will be 33 weeks tomorrow :) Good luck xx

it is really difficult isn't it!! Feeling envious reading all the new start diaries on the sw forum & a couple friends joined group last night all raring to go & knowing my weight will be going up not down makes me feel uneasy :( Had a good day on green plan yest but kept waking up from...

oh my goodness Jenn congratulations to you & your family what lovely news xxxxxxx

Hi Matt there is definitely a difference well done to you :)

Do you have any targets set? How much do you want to lose by the weddings? You could break it down to a pound a week

We have all been there trust me.Are you going to a group? It really might help just a week on plan & a weight loss might be what you need.I started last year beginning of jan on my own & had a binge within the first week & thought exactly the same what is wrong with me then something just...

Happy New Year everybody :) Im struggling a bit, have stretched my appetite with all the naughty food & went up the shop yesterday they were selling boxes of mince pies for 50p & various other xmas stuff at really low prices aghhhhhh just got rid of most of the chocolate in the house!!Hopefully...

AHH how exciting Jenn :) just to be different im gonna say girl.Not bad this end quite sick of all the food so stuck to plan yest :) x

Thanks Jenn,boy am I glad I have kept an eye on it I dread to think what I would weigh now if id given up completely xx Hope you get to stay in your 14 jeans a little longer my size 16s ripped on the inside leg but have sewn them up haha & will wear them for one more week or so I hope :) xx

Well I made it to 30 weeks on Saturday yay :) weighing in at 14 stone 6lb so a 10lb gain so far.Would really love to not go over 15 st but that only gives me 8lb in 10 weeks so not sure that's doable.Hope you are feeling well ladies Happy Christmas to you all :)

oh no sorry to hear you have poorly family Missy :( Hopefully you will all be fit & healthy for xmas day if you get it out the way now xx Massive well done on your loss Bluebox that's great :) 2 more days of school runs & then I can relax a bit, finding housework changing beds & lifting &...

Its all gone very quiet,hope everyones ok? x

Thanks Daisy :) just got back from the school run & was considering putting my pyjamas on & staying in them all weekend but don't think my older kids are keen on that idea! Plus I associate that with lots of yummy munchies & so want to stay on plan,why is it so much harder at weekends to not eat...

Hi ladies :) growth scan went well,weighing approx. 2lb 14oz & all looking normal.Have managed 4 days on plan & so far so good today having sw chicken korma for tea with lots of veg.Will weigh in tomorrow at 29 weeks & see where im at but collar bone seems to have made an appearance after about...

That's interesting bluebox didn't realise you could have 2 each of healthy ex on ee,thought that was just when breatfeeding.Might have a few ee days instead of green :) Did your consultant say you would lose weight doing this or maintain? x

haha Missy that made me giggle :) Ive come to realise that xmas is going to much more enjoyable if I can just stick to plan up until xmas eve then dig in to all the lovely things,would be so easy to just give in but keep reminding myself that half a stone or even a stone could quite easily be...

How you all getting on ladies? x

Good on you bluebox did you get consent from the midwife? Really looking forward to the growth scan on fri as feel like the last scan I didn't really look at him or appreciate him properly as was so shocked it was another boy! Its absolutely freezing here today so already had my lunch at 11.30...

I have lots of soup,poached eggs,salad although not so great in this weather lol mushy pea curry,quorn burger in a wholemeal roll with cheese hex a, sw chips,beans,mushrooms is a favourite meal of mine, very filling & satisfying :) Don't be too hard on yourself if you are finding it hard to...

Hi Missy food sounds lovely today :) I only managed 3 days on plan last week,must try harder lol planning to stay on plan until xmas eve now as want a week off plan over xmas so will see how that goes, only 17 days surely I can stick to that? My 18 month old has been trying my patience the last...

yay Jenn glad to hear from you was getting worried! Lovely scan pic did you look out for the nub? from what I can see its very flat & girly!! Although its just a theory anyway.Brilliant on 1lb on too bet you are chuffed to bits :) Hope the boys were thrilled when you told them the news xx

funny isn't it when its other people getting told you have big baby etc.. I always say "take no notice its very rarely accurate" but when its yourself it makes you over analyse.My last baby was 8lb 3 so bit bigger but a week overdue & I ate everything in sight with him & im not kidding either I...

omg missy really that's sounds traumatic!! Well im not very keen on my midwife today lol she measured fundal height & its off the scale?? Really glad ive got a growth scan on the 12th because Im really not convinced my baby is particularly big in there & she measured way too far down in pubic...

off to see the midwife at 12 today to get renal blood tests done so that the hospital has the results in time for growth scan on 12th December.Have pkd but it didn't seem to cause any problems in the last pregnancy so not expecting it will now.Never got a call about the glucose test so guessing...

so lovely to hear from all you pregnant ladies its been pretty quiet on here! Really hope everything is ok Jenn? xx

im very lucky that my mil doesn't live close by or get involved ,my mother on the other hand still likes to tell me how to feed,change,teach,discipline basically bring up my children which gets on my nerves as I see her twice a week im 34 & on baby num 4 lol but I bite my tongue & accept its...

gosh not boring at all I find it really fascinating & would def consider doing it for my sister or a close friend that couldn't have children of their own xx must be very difficult not to let it slip to parents etc..My husband had the snip in may this year & I got pregnant the following month...

wow blueboxgeek what an amazing thing to be doing for your sister :) Hopefully the sickness is on its way out & you can eat healthier it really is the hardest time, so easy to grab anything stodgy to stop you feeling sick/weak!! will your sister & husband be going along to scans & apt then? x

glad you joined us :) I normally have 2 each hex as do green so not sure about ee think it might just be for breast feeding but someone might know for sure.I have the full 15 syns sometimes more your body is working overtime making little one & your metabolism speeds up by 25% when pregnant...

how is everybody getting on?

I don't go to group anymore so not sure but im 27 weeks pregnant & been following green days loosely ,extras when needed especially at the beginning with morning sickness & go off plan at weekends & have only gained a few pounds so def recommend sw in pregnancy :) Theres a few of us on pregnancy...

def possible :) you are doing really well & good idea on the xmas shop.I wont be watching what I eat over xmas just hope I don't gain too much these 3 weeks leading up to it lol xx

mince pies are my fave missy,haven't touched one yet as know I wont stop lol.had jam roly-poly & custard for pudding yest tho & had really twitchy restless legs all evening :(so just goes to show sugary stuff just adds pregnancy symptoms I could def do without, was really yummy tho haha xx

morning ladies :) have decided to right last week off food wise I went overboard big time but looking forward to a much healthier week.Out sat night for hubbys xmas meal so will be having something off plan then but going to try & stick to plan during the week fingers crossed :).Good luck at...

Hi I did a mixture of sw & calorie counting at the beginning of the year & did lose weight,what I will say though as because you might be eating different foods maybe higher in fat/sugar when cc I wouldn't go as high as your tdee.I was only having about 1400 cal on cc counting days hope that...

Hi I was on metazapine a few years ago also Depakote & quetiapine & couldn't stop eating so know how you feel.Is there not another med you could try that doesn't make you gain weight? It is not fair that the weight gain will only add to your depression well did in my case :( I eventually came...

morning ladies,feeling much brighter today,daughter has non pupil day so off out to buy xmas decs etc..together & done loads of online shopping for presents early this morn so will be organised this year!! Hidden a couple tins of chocs just hope they stay hidden lol x

ok so the first pic is my friends bday 4 weeks after last baby & 2nd pic is last week with 14 weeks to go so quite a difference,Cant believe how big I got before scary!!

Thanks Missy I did explain that its not him that has to waddle on the school runs & push the baby out! I think he was trying to reassure me that its fine if I get huge again but probably didn't come across too well.Last time I had a wedding to go to 2 weeks after birth & my best friends bday a...

don't get me wrong I don't mind a big round bump in fact I like big bumps just don't want to get bigger anywhere else esp face & legs :/

Hi ladies im feeling a bit bleugh! getting bigger by the day & although that's perfectly natural im feeling anxious with 3 months to go with xmas coming up just worried im going to get huge :( Think my husband is getting slightly irritated with me too as he doesn't understand me watching what I...

ooh missy didn't realise you could do body pump whilst pregnant really wish id done something like that from the beginning.Had lunch with the girls today & had jacket pot with chilli & salad, not horrendous but got a feeling this week will be lots of over eating.out for lunch with my sister...

id only heard about nub theory this pregnancy where you look at the nub/protrusion at 12 week scan & flat/parallel = girl & raised /angled up =boy.My scan pic had no visible nub so couldn't really tell.Will you be finding out? x

headache went, I ended up having a Chinese & stuffing myself silly,never good for me to not eat breakfast! Just hope I don't hear back about the test.Have you heard about the nub theory Jenn? x

all done :) have a bad headache but that should wear off soon & luckily my husband took the day off work last minute & looked after our son who slept the entire time lol.Good luck at your booking apt jenn & missy chicken curry & sw chips sounds lovely might have to have that myself too :) x

Thanks missy I will ask as dreading trying to entertain him for that long,never had gd in any previous pregnancies & bmi was 30 at booking apt so not overly high but hey ho just something that needs doing I guess & don't even get me started on the syns in a bottle of Lucozade lol xx

Morning ladies,glad to hear you are both doing well :) I have my glucose test this morning up the hospital which im a bit annoyed about as have to take my little one & don't think he will find 3hrs up there very interesting!! Managed not to have one last time but this new midwife seems to think...

Welcome missy & congrats :) Are you planning on going to group or doing it from home? I went up to 17.10 last pregnancy so know how you feel but well done on getting down in the 12s :) x

you are brave lol I like the idea of it but thats where it ends for me haha x

oh wow do you have twins in the family? My nan is a twin & had twin boys but none since :)

ooh really like Innes never heard that before is it Scottish? x

ha funny you should ask that I have a name but not telling him as he will spend the next 15 weeks trying to talk me out of it!Had lots of pretty girl names but never mind lol you must struggle with all those boys names to come up with!What do you have already? My boys are called Mikey & Casey...

I am 25 weeks tomorrow,never had a pregnancy go this fast before the others dragged! When is your scan? x

Have you discussed it with your consultant? why do you feel like a fraud? You are being very hard on yourself I get that you are frightened of undoing all your hard work but you are starting at a great position we are the same height at 5ft 7 so you must be looking fantastic at 12st 3 :) xx

I don't go to group anymore,the sickness is the hardest bit to get through I did mainly green days so 2 lots of healthy extras brown toast,eggs,beans filling stuff & used my syns on crisps something that seemed to help with the sickness/lightheadedness.Didn't stick to the 1/3 superfree as fruit...

Know what you mean Ive had one miscarriage which is bad enough & bled at 5 & 6 weeks this time too so was a relief getting to 24 weeks yest x

welcome Marie & congrats :) This really is the best plan in my opinion wish id done it last pregnancy x

:) I have a daughter aged 12 & two boys aged 8 & 17months. Hubby had the snip in may got pregnant in june, crazy lol Really convinced it was a girl as gained 4 stone plus with both my boys & felt this was different symptoms etc.. but found out it is infact another boy!! What do you have? You...

Hi congrats on your pregnancy & your weight loss so far its quite quiet on here unfortunately :( im 24 weeks pregnant & loosely sticking to plan & have only gained 4lb so here for support :) Baby no 4 for me x

I worked out recently ive been dieting for 18 years! since I was 16 losing & regaining what a waste of my life & such a shock when you think about it in black & white! Time to do it once & for all :)

just think how much you might have gained if you hadn't stuck to plan? Prob was just water retention You are doing really well keep going & im sure you will get your stone award next week :)

5 yrs wow that is a long time to wait! She will be a very much loved little princess by the sounds of it :)

know what you mean maverick,stayed in a caravan at the weeknd & noticed my bump starting to get in the way moving around in a smaller space lol.Will be 24 weeks on sat ,still not massive weight gain but def feel front heavy & the Braxton hicks are a little annoying & reminding me I only gave...

no this is my 4th! daughter is 12 followed by 3 boys :) congrats on your daughter will be lovely to have one of each x

Good news on the test results :) I have a glucose test at 28 weeks hopefully be ok.Had my scan & its a boy!! so shocked lol x

just a bit lol I kind of guessed with not gaining much weight it was a girl but no denying what I saw on the scan hes all boy ;) xx

Just thought I would update that I had scan on Friday & its a BOY!! Still in shock 3rd boy in a row for me :) Hope you are all doing ok x

welcome big mamma & congrats :) It is sooo hard to plan when the sickness kicks in & you just need something quick to make you feel better & its not always something sw friendly that you fancy!! brown toast & marmite or cheese spread cut into soldiers was the best on plan thing I could come up...

wow maverick 24 weeks! Its going so fast :) Im 21 weeks on sat & have my scan tomorrow very nervous can feel movement but its nowhere near as strong kicks as my other pregnancies?! weight wise ive gained 4lb totally amazed by this!! Obviously im not a small girl at 14 stone haha but considering...

Hi mrs cc & congrats :) 12 and half stone im jealous lol Im sure you wont go over 14 and half as you are nearly 3 months in already x

Thanks super trooper :) my son was high risk for downs syndrome got the call the same day :/ nuchal fold was 3.4mm did you see what yours measured? didn't have any further amnio tests because of fear of miscarriage but waited for delivery & he was fine was worrying all the way through...

well 3 months into pregnancy & on steroids too I don't think you have done too bad with a stone! Will be nice to for your son to have a brother :) I have a daughter & 2 sons so a girl would def even things out for me,scan on fri but still unsure whether to have a surprise or not x

I tried to eat things like baked beans,eggs, brown toast etc things that are filling as getting too hungry made my sickness worse,depends whether you have gone off certain foods tho as I couldn't stand eggs in my last pregnancy.I didn't follow sw rules for 1/3 superfree with meals as found that...

Goodluck at the scan hope it all goes well :) Will you find out gender also with harmony test? I usually have 2 of each h.ex but generally follow green so not much meat.I really did struggle last pregnancy with my son as appetite was just off the scale & just ate constantly just to feel ok this...

Hi welcome aboard :) I haven't done much exercise except walking & swimming & still not had massive weight gain so you should be ok :) Im currently trying to be good during the week & having weekends off plan & have only gained 4 pound & will be 20 weeks on sat! Noone is more shocked than me...

Hi ladies how are you all getting on? x

Goodluck Carjam im following sw loosely whilst pregnant :)

aww bet that's nice to hear you will prob be pleasantly surprised when you do weigh :) I feel like my stomach has grown overnight just hope its not the start of massive weight gain :( xx

welcome Maverick :) Don't worry about the comment men speak without thinking im sure he didn't mean to hurt your feelings,my husband told the mother in law that I will soon be the size of a house lol cheek of him but I think secretly he likes it haha.My advice to you would be to weigh now & see...

that's so good,tempted to join group again hearing that! xx

so far not going to find out but could change my mind lol,had 2 boys in a row so expect it will be another boy!! I paid for a private gender scan last time at 16 weeks,its quite strange knowing that early! x

that sounds like a plan I love all the goodies at xmas so will not be holding back then :) Do you know what you are having? x

oh it would be lovely to keep losing wouldn't it!! I think if you follow plan 80% of the time & have a few treats it will be fine.I gained nearly 5 stone last time & it really got me down towards the end as could barely even waddle!! Im due 28th feb,3rd feb baby so don't mind if I go over a...

just thought id add my scan pic from tues :)

How are you other ladies getting on? Has the morning sickness improved? mine still going,stopped at 10 weeks last time so its a bit annoying now!! xx

welcome aboard lovely! wow 5.5lb that's fab :) do they mind if you lose that much? Im 2lb lighter than when I found out so very pleased as had gained 1 stone 6lb at 13 weeks with my son :/ Ive been doing mainly green days im fine during the day but im craving chocolate in the evenings & have...

Hi & welcome congrats on your pregnancy :) It is hard with morning sickness sometimes quick & convenient food is what you crave I love crisps!! Im doing ok just hovering around the same weight at the moment but last pregnancy don't think I had one good day food wise it was so hard & the weight...

ive had 2 boys in a row so guessing another boy haha my daughter is 12 & would love a sister but not up to me.Im not planning on finding out this time paid for a gender scan at 16 weeks with last as was so impatient but I just don't feel the need to know(at the moment haha) Are you following the...

oh wow such clear pic I really cant wait,my daughter was born on 15th feb :) Are you going to find out what you are having? Any hunches? They couldn't find a reason for the bleeding so hopefully all will be well & just one of those things xx

aww I had a scan at 7 weeks due to bleeding could barely see a thing & the 12 week one is on 19th August really cant wait to see the difference :) xx

yay :) Thanks for your reply you are doing so well!! I was 16 stone at xmas currently 13 st 11 & will be 11 weeks on Monday :) Have been hovering around this weight for 3 weeks & not been to class as still a bit undecided whether to just go it alone.I had little boy in june 2013 & went up to...

Hi mamto3 good luck on your journey 4 stone is definitely doable by next year :) Goodluck for weigh in x

hi how you getting on? Im following sw whilst pregnant hoping not to gain nearly 5 stone like last time x

Anyone else following slimming world at the moment whilst pregnant? Would be great to have some tips advice & general chit chat it seems quiet on the forum

Hi Anna sickness is still going strong unfortunately but have managed to hover around the same weight by having some good days on plan & some not so good days lol .Im 10 weeks today so guessing you must be 11 weeks now? Have you got scan booked? x

Hi Anna I know exactly how you feel I put on nearly 5 stone with last pregnancy due to feeling sick or faint or just generally unwell unless I was eating cake ,crisps & biscuits etc.. it was really tough,he is 13 months old! Im 6weeks pregnant sshhh its a secret lol & the nausea has started...

I really admire you for taking control of your life & being so honest,you have a lot going on with 9 month twins so to address your weight at this time takes courage & from what you said you really sound like you mean it :) I can really relate to a lot of what you said especially the eating...

my daughter is 12 & boys 8 & 1, id actually lost 3.5 stone before I got pregnant but gained nearly 5 stone!! Not good but its coming off again at long last :) x

hi no not working at the moment im a stay at home mum to 3 children but my youngest has just turned one so looking for evening work as hubby works in the day.College course sounds really interesting :) Do you find better losses with red days? I normally do green x

Hi Danielle we are the same height & have similar amount of weight to lose are you going to a group? I started out on my own & lost 2 and half stone then got stuck so joined a group 2 weeks ago,what are you doing at college in September? :)

Hi hun Ive been really good this week but no movement on the scales first few days then yest morn whoosh!:) Keep at it you know it works xx

hiya you can have between 5 and 15 syns a day :)

brilliant hun you are flying through this weightloss milarky lol .I should be In the 12s by now but must not dwell on that!! I am nervous for my first official weigh in at s.w on mon but if I stick to plan im sure it will be ok ? xx

Hey lovely lady you have nearly caught me up you are doing so well :) I started a group lastnight so hopefully back on the slimming world train good & proper now,just had one of the salads you told me about with the light salad cream,was yum :) xx

I kind of mixed the two & was doing well until my little holiday & then got complacent ,something that seems to happen when I get into the thirteens.I need some structure & hoping the group will provide that, along with no going completely off track at weekends now im getting weighed on a mon...

Thankyou Jeanne Ive woken up with lots of enthusiasm & going to forget calories now & put all my faith in the plan :)

Thankyou Vickyt89 :) must admit I did feel uncomfortable during image therapy bit but hopefully it will get easier as the weeks go on x

thankyou x

So I finally plucked up the courage to join a group tonight after messing around since the end of April!Lost 2 st 7 from jan to april on my own but lost my way & has resulted in a 12.5lb gain overall :( gutted but glad I went & hopefully its what I need to get me back on track & to reach target :)

yeh Ive seen voucher for tomorrow but worried if I don't go tonight I never will ,don't mind paying full price it will be worth it in the end just trying to tag a friend along but she cant afford full price x

Hi im joining tonight as have been messing around for the last few weeks getting nowhere , gaining,hovering & now a big gain :( There is a voucher tomorrow but cant wait until then it has to be tonight before I chicken out again!!Can anyone confirm the price tonight is it £9.95 or £14.95? Thankyou x

you look amazing well done on your losses & goodluk with your target im sure you will smash it :)

I normally notice after ive lost a stone or stone & a half,well done on your loss so far im sure it wont be long before you have gone down a dress size & notice the difference :)

oh wow what a difference a year makes! You look amazing :) I have been faffing around for a couple weeks & seeing your pics has inspired me to start taking it seriously again so thankyou & congrats on 7 stone weightloss :)

weigh in tomorrow & feeling nervous! Have eaten well all week but not sure what impact drinking alcohol thurs & sat will have,really need a loss to spur me on though.Fingers crossed calorie counting has worked for me :)

Lots of drinks on Saturday night but healthy food in the day so hoping it will be ok.Had roast dinner yesterday but didn't go over calories so fingers crossed that I get a loss this week :)

here to subscribe good luck on your journey, im sure you will have a nice weight loss in time for your holiday :)

Just stumbled across your diary & read it all,wow ,wow,wow you are incredible :) Really hope you get your 10 stone award you look amazing in your pics!

Thankyou Sparkles:)Well went over calories yest on Prosecco & going out tomorrow night so trying to be really good food wise & have had 1200 calories today which wasn't easy with a hangover!!

Great day so far,managed to resist the doughnuts at a friends house & would normally have a treat as its weigh day but not today feel back in control again :)

if you have been really good all week you are still likely to get a loss this week even with the naan bread etc.. it was only one meal out of a weeks worth.We all do it & the guilt is horrible but you have to leave it there.You are not weak most people on here would struggle with food laid out...

I think sometimes the more we want something the harder it becomes! Think about when you most struggle to stick to plan whether its evenings or weekends & then try to plan,you could save syns for weekends or even changing your weigh day could make a big difference it did to me anyway.How long...

you certainly did :) im calorie counting for a few weeks now as seem to have got a bit stuck.Will def try soup for lunches to give me a boost x

well ive managed to maintain this week.Thinking of changing my weigh in to tues morning so as not to go off the rails at the weekend,feeling positive about this week :)

absolutely brilliant Tanya im really pleased for you :) well done xx

So far so good today :) expecting a gain tomorrow after a bad weekend but will just soldier on & break through this barrier! I always seem to get stuck in the thirteens!

Goodluck hun im sure you will have a good loss & hopefully in the next stone bracket whoop :) x

oh that's a shame :( sorry didn't reply sooner I seem to have deleted my subscribed threads! Ive been up & down & had week off plan but now back on it,have started a diary in calorie counting section for the next 4 weeks as I think im still eating too much on slimming world.Hope you are ok x

Right have decided to start a diary.I am half way to target & starting to go off track a bit lately so need to focus! Have been doing a mixture of slimming world & calorie counting with a few binges in between :eek: decided to do a few weeks of just calorie counting to try & reduce my overall...

Hi yes I had this feeling before even went to the doctors about it.For me it felt like I had cat hair or something in my throat( horrid) tried to eat bread etc.. to dislodge it but nothing worked.I think it might be related to anxiety because I had a panic attack on a bus not long before it...

well done on your weightloss so far :) You have 16 weeks until the end of August which will have been a year since you started, if you get back on plan you can lose a fair bit more weight by then! Don't undo all your hard work,the weight can go on very quickly & you will regret it.goodluck you...

yes I totally agree its not right! When I got married I was a size 12 but going by bmi I was on the verge of overweight (shocking) I might put my wedding pics on here just to prove a point cos I was bloody tiny that day!! xx

aww my baby boy was due 2nd june last yr he arrived a week late on 9th.Goodluck with your journey x

If you have an 8 week old your body has been through a lot recently so might take longer to adjust to any change in diet.What were you eating before & are you breastfeeding?Like the others said it might be an idea to do a food diary so someone can help you out if there has been an oversight.Dont...

Id say try not to take it personally,weightloss is not high on the list for conversation for most men! When I told my husband I could fit into my old jeans he said "good cos you aint buying any new clothes" lol.Just keep plugging away at it he might surprise you at some point.When I lost weight...

April has been a crazy time for me too with half term, a holiday & my bday & wedding anniversary! What has got me back on track is concentrating on the 6 weeks school holidays its 3 months away & plenty of time to chip away at the weight loss,I really want to feel comfortable in my own skin by...

If you go to settings top right then edit profile on left hand side you can change all your details x All the best for the the next 10 weeks x

I think like you said give yourself a good talking to lol I had to sit down & do this myself in the first week when I had a binge & was so annoyed with myself but luckily it got me on track,also maybe write a few reasons down why it is so important to you to lose weight or not gain whatever you...

doing brilliantly Tanya,pics are fab :) xx

I know exactly how you feel & its hard :( all my old size 16 clothes fit but I haven't bought any new yet as im scared that they wont fit.Im sure it wont be much longer before you will fit into them though.Have you tried charity shop? They always have large selection of jeans etc.. just to tide...

well done Lou,a massive achievement :) you must be thrilled x
