Well done on the loss that is fantastic :)

Honk for me yesterday

Well done everyone on the great losses :)

Sounds like you had a lovely time with your family, precious memories and still managed not to gain. We'll done :)

I had first weigh in of march and lost 2.6lbs. Very happy with that :)

Thanks Orla :) Am am away to find what a half stone sticker is and how you get one :)

Well done you :)

good luck Gareth :)

I weighed this morning and lost 2.6lbs, am really happy with that. Had been slightly nervous that after such a good first loss I wouldn't lose much. Brilliant diet :) each night we have cooked a different recipe from either the magazine or this website and I am enjoying the variety of food so...

well done on getting straight back to it, that will definitely minimise the damage. Hope you and OH made up :)

Second weigh in, I lost 2.6lbs and dh 2.4lbs. Total loss of 9.2lbs for me, am so happy as was irrationally worried that first weeks loss was a fluke!

Well done you on sticking to SE despite wobble. What day do you weigh?

Good luck everyone for tomorrow :)

Pick me, pick me!! I want to leave this thread and keep moving down ;)

Am also thinking of you Hun and hoping you are ok :)

Honk!

There is a separate bit for slimming world pregnancy and breastfeeding on the forum. It is a sticky on the main sw page. Worth checking that out as you will get the answers to your questions there. i only have been doing sw postnatally but others there have done sw during pregnancy.

Honk! Well done everyone else on surviving the weekend :)

Well done you on your first loss :) average of 2lb loss a week is my aim too!

Well done on getting to target :)

you definitely deserve a double honk if it is the weekend AND you are doing success express! honk for me too

It was by googling a syn value for something that I first stumbled upon this site! If in doubt and you can't find it on searching here, Dr Google knows all!

Fern really well done on getting back to it, that takes courage :) good luck

Well done on getting straight back to it. It was one evening and it is over do don't worry. :)

Well done you on finding new strength :) you sound like you have a supportive boyfriend which is great too.

Fitzylou that is an amazing loss in such a short time, well done you

Hope you are still managing to stay positive :)

11th honk, yay!

Sounds like a good plan :) it is tough when you have been so good but you are very likely to see the reward for your hard work next week even if the scales are not kind this week

Thanks for the pic! I am going to add those to my shopping list for this week.

I was very much addicted to sugar when I started sw. I am embarrassed when I think how much I ate and would and will never admit to anyone the true extent of the problem. For me it started after I had my baby five months ago partly because I am in the house much more whilst on mat leave and...

I guess one of the important principles of slimming world is that though they are free foods it is important still to exercise some self control and to recognise when we are full rather than eating past that! Easier said than done when you hear the word free if you are anything like me! Having...

Honk!

I think the snack tin is a great idea as it means you have less to think about. you have done so well losing the weight you already have so I think it is a case of damage limitation during this stressful time. Would it help to not keep high syn foods in the house and stock up on loads of free...

Thanks for coming on and letting us know how you got on, huge hugs to you, must be very stressful time. I dont want want to give you false hope but I had a very early scan (5+4 days) and there was just a gestational sac. I hadn't had any bleeding like you. I was rescanned a week later and...

Honk!

They sound delicious :) what does the packet look like, never heard of them?

Welcome Janie :) Great that you have the support of your work colleague, always easier to do these things with support. i have not been here that long myself but have found people here extremely friendly and knowledgable so you picked the right site to sign up to good luck!

Pebbles how are you feeling today?

I don't know the answer to your question but just wanted to say if those are your losses in your signature they are big losses, well done you :)

You did a really brave thing facing, many would just have let it spiral out of control! Just get straight back to it as you are doing and take what lessons you need from it and then forget it. You should have a good next weigh in and it won't be long until you are back to where you were...

Well done on your great loss this week, you will definitely be joining me on the other thread next week with the way you are going you slimmer of the month you ;) you must have felt so excited when they told you!

Well done on your amazing loss, what a brilliant start :) how are you finding it?

I second the magazine recommendation. I was really sceptical as usually those sorts of mags are just jam packed with adverts but actually I was really surprised how many great recipes were in there. Gives you other ideas and I enjoy the success stories too!

It is a good sign that you are not in a lot of pain or anything. Glad the dr was able to sort something for you. Jeep us informed of how you are :)

Smoked salmon is syn free :)

I would like to join too please :) think I will go for 7lb loss and also aim to walk for one hour a day at least 6 days per week. Thanks for organising this !

Orla thank you so much for such a kind, thoughtful message, much appreciated. Headed to the thread you mentioned :)

Well ill done you :) honk for me today

Awwwwww poor you, how scary for you both :( when will the scan be? Spotting is very common so I have everything crossed for you that your little bean is safe and sound when you get scanned. :)

Congratulations :) you are brave but it will be lovely seeing them grow up together as they will be so close to each other being close in age! I have only done sw post natally so I don't know the answer for definite but could you have a chat with your gp on the phone? I can't imagine they will...

I joined online (don't tell anyone I wrote down the code from a women's magazine in a shop that I didn't buy ;) maybe Bella I think). That gave quite a discount so I paid less than £40 but to be honest now that I have been on here I wouldn't bother. People here are really knowledgeable and very...

Thanks everyone, I am so pleased :)

Am joining here now, dropped into fourteens today! Natalie best to weigh as at least then you know where you stand, wipe the slate clean and start again :)

6.6lb loss today for my first week - yay! Did a dance around the room! Dh lost 5lb so I awarded myself slimmer of the week!! ;)

Yay I had my first weigh in just now, completely ecstatic!! Gone from 15st 2 to 14st 9.4!!! Been stuffed all week, not felt like I have been on diet at all! Amazing!

I just laughed outloud at the eating babies bit bcp, almost waking my poor sleeping baby beside me!! Clare, your determination is evident in the way you talk. You will do it this time - yay :) I also am doing sw online rather than with class so we can all support each other. Away at to work...

Awwwww I am sorry you are feeling so low about things but well done on doing something about it :) think how great you are going to feel by knowing you have stuck to plan!

Well done you on restarting again and not just letting it slip :)

Good luck, you will feel really proud of yourself at your anniversary.

I also have a teething baby so you have my sympathies as the extra energy to entertain them during the day and also the lack of sleep if they are up at night very easily affects mood and how you cope with things. You are doing well with what you have lost already so don't be too hard on...

Wow what a difference in the photos, you are looking really great. Well done you :)

Get rid of all the bigger sizes that don't fit as you won't be needing those again :) am sure it will be no time at all until you are in the 14s as you sound very determined!

Honk

Welcome ness, i also recently joined and am amazed at the amount we can eat. I have my first weigh in tomorrow so looking forward to the reassurance that we can lose despite eating this much! When do you weigh?

Hi Kate, i wondered how you are getting on?

That must feel amazing and in such a short time, this diet is great! Well done you! Have you loads of clothes waiting got you to shrink into as motivation, I have a whole wardrobe full!

Well done on the loss bcp :) your before and during picture are inspiring!

It will be fantastic to feel comfortable to wear less clothes and to feel that I don't have to cover up all the time. Fingers crossed for a good summer after all this talk!!

Hi Kayleigh, well done on your weight loss so far, you are doing really well. How has this week gone for you?

Ooops forgot last night to honk, my sixth in a row yay :)

I would love to be 18 pounds down by Easter, I am doing slimming world. How is everyone getting on this week?

Goal is to do the first week perfectly, this is day 6 so nearly there :) after that next goal is to 14st 7

It is amazing how much better we feel removing things like that from our diet! Well done on not going mad and eating loads at the event

It is good that you managed to have a chat and even better you got money out of him ;) I agree with ellejay, the further into the pregnancy you get, the more real it becomes for them and the more they take it seriously. I think with my dh when he seen the first scan he suddenly realised it was...

I have never actually tried soya or oat milk, I didn't realise that was a hexa choice so I must give those a go. Thanks for that, it is a great idea. I like Philly and also have the light babybel most days. I guess four servings of cheese just seemed a lot but I am probably overthinking it as...

You look absolutely fantastic

You look absolutely fantastic, well done :)

You look like a different person, you have done unbelievably well. I can't believe you have lost more than you weigh now, that is mind blowing. Well done :) how are you finding maintenance?

Oh my, I can see a massive difference. Well done, you should feel very proud of yourself

Sounds like you have had a tough day :( I think as soon as a woman gets pregnant she becomes a mother and thinks like a mother whereas sometimes for the men it take a bit longer for then to think as fathers and be more responsible. Not all cases but a lot. Your food diary today looked very...

I don't, I am really odd I admit! When I was a kid I had asthma and it was made worse by milk so I never took it and even now I can't stand milk or cream or anything like that to the point I usually use water on cereal and take black tea and coffee. It is about the only thing I don't like, I...

Jennjenn I am going to steal your goals where you count down BMI, great idea :)

Hi Kate, Welcome, this is a great site with loads of support. I only joined myself a few days ago. I had a baby five months ago and have taken this long to motivate myself to get any of the extra weight I carry off. Despite exclusively breast feeding (I still am) the weight has stuck. Problem...

Honk!

Ps, I love the name Seth

Thanks missy and pebbles, appreciate you taking the time to reply :) I unfortunately don't drink milk as I hate the taste so my a choices are essential cheese! Is it really ok to eat 4 lots of cheese as that seems a lot of calories and fat! I am finding it easier to use the b choices the more...

What is important is that you have started again, would have been easier not to and just keep gaining so don't be too hard on yourself and well done. :)

Well done sounds like you have the right mental attitude as I think it is important to not see a small blip as a massive failure and just give up

Oooohhhh a nice chilled white wine for me! Over a year since I have had alcohol as I was pregnant then now still feeding the wee one but I have been known to dream about drinking white wine several times!!

Full Sunday roast with cauliflower cheese yum!

I am around 5ft 6 and weigh 15st 1. I wear size 18 bottoms and 16 or 18 top. Hopefully not for long!

Thank you for sharing your story. The first part made me feel terribly sad for you that you had to live your life that way, always fearful but my have you turned it around. It is amazing, you should be extremely proud of yourself :)

Well done on keeping it off, you have done amazingly well :)

Congratulations on your great weigh loss but more so on your attitude change, sound like you have it cracked :)

Awwwww poor thing, sound like you are exhausted :( maternity law is very strict and very much on the mothers side so you will be well protected so of it is too much for you, you need to put your foot down with them. even if you are really struggling get the gp to write to them telling them you...

I was having a look through the recipes on the official sw site and I noticed about 8 different sb cake recipes. They looked delicious especially the curly wurly one. I very tempted to make that one

Welcome pips :) i have not joined long either, this is a brilliant site as I am sure you have already discovered! well done on your weight loss. How are you finding sw?

Kaz, have you just finished loosing? A friend of mine did weight watchers last year and lost 8 stone. When she finished she was devastated with the way her skin was to the point where I was concerned she had full blown depression. However, we were talking again about a month ago and though she...

Before I started sw I was literally eating all day because I am still breast feeding my baby and it gives me seemingly unquenchable hunger. For me therefore the difference I have found with sw is the size of meals I have. If I was not having large main meals I could not do this. I wonder if you...

Hope you are feeling a bit less tired today, it will improve with time. For me the first trimester tiredness was worse than the third trimester even though by then I was lugging 3 stone more around! I felt overwhelmingly exhausted for the first 3 months. Make sure your other half is running...

We did find out. My dh didn't want to initially but he changed his mind after persuasion from an emotional, pregnant woman ;) i am so glad we found out and would find out again in the future if we have another one. It was really special as by 20 weeks you feel like you have been pregnant for...

Oh duh, your signature answers my question about due date, only noticed your signature!

Awwwww gorgeous pictures :) so exciting and must all seem more real now! What date are you due now? Bet eat you can't wait until the 20 week scan now, will you find out what you are having?

Thanks for your reply :) They say I am meant to eat 6 healthy extras!! I am finding that a lot when combined with all the free and super free foods.

Honk! Really inspiring photos in reply just above mine! The change is amazing

The carrot cake looks divine! Being pregnant is no excuse but go a bit easy on yourself, you are growing a human (eeek!) so those things in moderation are not going to do harm!

Ps it is completely normal to be emotional like that, hormones have a lot to answer for!

Good luck for tomorrow, it will be so exciting for you to see :) let us know how it goes I hope the sickness passes for you soon. I know what you mean about feeling fortunate to be pregnant but it still doesn't make the sickness or tiredness easy to cope with. Well done on even trying to not...

That is great thanks :) I am doing EE. Today I did much better at getting the hex in as I planned it a bit better so starting using them right from breakfast! I feel completely stuffed again, such a strange feeling on a diet! Do you plan your meals for the week in advance or just decide on...

Sounds like you are really determined to do it :) have you picked a dress already, imagining yourself in that must be great motivation :)

Honk! You were right it is addictive ;)

It is natural to worry until you see your little munchkin on the screen but it will get easier with time. I hope you manage to avoid any sickness, I was lucky and didn't get any only very mild nausea.

I think it maybe thought I was trying to advertise the site but it is just that nationwide online site where you can get deals on all manner of random things from eating out to holidays. You have to enter where you live and then it sends you daily deals. Anyway, hopefully you can guess from that...

Thanks everyone for your encouragement! Another day of being amazed at the amount of food I can eat and still be on a "diet"

Welcome :) I am new to this too but wanted to wish you good luck! I do it online rather than a class but this site is so brilliant with loads of info that I don't feel like I am missing out!

Oops I guess you can't type that websites name sorry. It is that very well known website where you can purchase deals etc.

We got a gender scan at 17 weeks, I couldn't wait anymore! It is lovely just to see them more than the normal 2 nhs scans too! Watch out on ******* as we got our 3d scan as an offer. It was £70 reduced from over £200 as it was the all singing, all dancing package with a DVD etc. I didn't have...

Congratulations on your bfp, you must be feeling really excited :) I had a baby last September and I remember those first 12 weeks dragged by at snail's pace. After that the time went quite quick though especially once you are far enough along to have the excitement of buying little bits for...

That is an amazing start you have had, great losses :)

Hi everyone, I started sw today and am sitting tonight feeling quite excited by how full I feel! I have never tried sw before but heard great things from various friends. I had a baby 5 months ago and am still looking like I am due to give birth any day now so the situation was getting a bit...

I started today and am doing it from home! My weigh in will be tuesday morning. Good luck with your restart :)

my very first honk!

Hi everyone, Today is the first day for me on sw. I am exclusively breastfeeding my 5 month old daughter at the moment so I understand that I have to have extra healthy extras. However, today I struggled to fit them in. I think the reason was that I ate so many free foods with my meals that I...

I am only starting today so don't have any useful tips as I am still getting to grips with it myself but just wanted to say good luck :)

Hi MrsKatz, I am also new, this is my first day on SW. Well done on your first weigh in, that is a brilliant loss :)
