Fantastic Peaches - so are you back on for natural birth like you wanted?

Hi Everyone I feel bad now - my oh is lovely really - he just worries about me being overweight and is a naturally black squares person so he gets really freaked out by anything out of the ordinary. He had a little wobble at the GTT but we're just going to have to wait and see. I've been...

How exciting Jenn! Great news about the scan Daisy. So, I got a letter on Saturday saying I have to have GTT after all. I think I mentioned earler that my other half is totally not supportive about my weight and hates the fact I am overweight at all. He is going to meltdown about this, let...

Sorry you ladies are having such a worrying time at the moment. I love being pregnant but am finding this time much scarier than the first. Daisy - I hope you are feeling better about the GD now. It's best that they spotted it than it was missed and you had problems later - but I know that's...

HI Everyone I have been very absent recently - for no real reason. Have since had my 2 scans and all is well with bubs - am 21 weeks + some days! Haven't found out but I suspect a girl. My eating is still rubbish but seeing baby last week, kind of made me feel I need to nurture this baby a...

Hi Daisy Try the ryvita mini salt & vinegar - they're really salt & vinegary and are in a crisp packet! They're a HEB too (I think - please shout if I'm wrong about that anyone!) xxx

So Missy, when you say you eat chicken as a snack - what do you mean? Just chicken? I'm a real one for needing to have things with something - eg sandwich with crisps. salad with bread, chips with cheese! (ha) chocolate with well, anything really. And I'm a nightmare for those 5 syn snacks...

My little boy is 26 months now, did any of you tell your 1sts in a special way or are they still too little and will just get used to the idea of a new baby? I obviously intend to up his kisses & cuddles (oh poor me!) in the next few months

Hi All 4lbs is excellent for a week away Missy! Had my 12 week scan last Thursday and all looking good. Just waiting for Nuchal results before telling everyone. They said it might be 1 week by phone if high rish or up to 3 weeks letter if low risk! Really hope it's not 3 weeks to wait. It...

Congratulations Tamkat - He is beautiful. I WANT ONNNNEEEEE! Oh wait...... Well done you - he looks lovely. xxx

Hi All Any news of Tamkat??????? I am over bugs as well Jenn - my chest infection eased and became a cold and then a cough and is now seemingly headed back to my chest! Scan on Thursday and 12 weeks on Wednesday....YIPPEEEEE. Anyone else have any milestones this week? Also, how's everyone's...

Morning All Was just thinking about Tamkat too. So exciting! Got my scan on 26th Feb and feels almost real now. Can't wait to tell people. Feel like I'm showing already but only 10 weeks! I know you're supposed to show earlier in second and onwards pregnancies but anyone else the same?

Ah thanks ladies! Chest feels much better now thank goodness. Booking in was fine - I am referred to a consultant but not for my BMI. Some family medical history just needs to be checked, same as last time - I think they will probably sign me off again quite quickly as nothing changed since...

Hi Everyone I disappeared for a while as got struck by the most hideous chest infection. I was very scared as literally couldn't breathe. Got straight into Dr's and they gave me amoxicillin, ventolin inhaler and steroids. But even though I kept asking, the Dr and the pharmacist just kept...

So exciting and lovely to see the scan pictures. I still feel like I have a million years until I can even tell anyone. 8 weeks tomorrow. And my smug no symptoms has gone - feeel. so. sick. I'm sure I didn't feel like this last time but OH tells me I did. In that 'the only thing that stops...

Hi All - how exciting for scans this week - let us know how they go. Another 3lb off for me this week. Feeling more sick now as well. Really wishing the next 5.5 weeks away. Can't wait to be 'safe' and be able to look at the diddy little clothes.

Mmmm, I also want to come to Missy's! Although just for greed as not feeling that hungry today! No snow down here (South Coast!) Have you much Daisy?

Thanks missy - hopefully I've more weeks than I expected to lose a few! Just had quorn chilli and sweet potato wedges with my HEA of cheese. Oh my god - it was amazing!!!!!!!! If only it was higher in iron! Trying to resist temptation to eat more now!!!!!!

Can't wait for dating scan! Time is going so slowly. I hate this first bit. Registered with Dr's last night and they said Midwife would call me around 10-12 weeks for booking in. That seems a bit late isn't it? Or is it later because it's my second?

Ah Jenn - I can't even begin to imagine what you went through with your son. I can completely understand why this is occupying your mind - you're not moaning at all. I remember the 3-4am wake ups as well. I used to think it was natures way of preparing you for sleepless nights with a newborn...

Morning Buddies! How was everyone's weekend? I was quite good and FINALLY managed to get tender beef stew in my slow cooker which was a revelation - I've never managed it before but did last night and it was delicious. Had to take those horrid iron tablets last time so this time I'm getting...

Thanks for the welcome - was going to say the same about resting. I had a great 1st pregnancy, partly I think to the amount of time I sat around resting and stroking my bump. I don't know how I'm going to cope running round after T, let alone having 6 others! I've eaten better this week...

Hi All Just found out I'm expecting No 2. I have a little boy who just turned 2 and I am due 9th September. I put on 3 stone with my boy and only lost 1.5 stone of it, mainly due to luck rather than good eating. I have been disgusting since getting pregnant with him. Been following SW at home...

So today is weigh day and have lost 2 lbs, so total is 8lbs off. Still have about 5 lbs to go until I feel like I'm properly losing weight but with 11days to my holiday I am going to really try now. Really reall. It's only 11 days - If I can't do it for 11 days then I really am very weak...

Yesterday was a bit rubbish (and I never find time to post over the weekend. I think food was okay over weekend though - a bit too much wine but....... So yesterday: Lots of coffee but need to up the water choc rice cake - 3 just because it was there when I was making coffee. 2 ryvita fruit...

Thanks Deb I didn't give in yesterday and am so pleased with myself. Now have more motivation today because I did good yesterday! Magic. If I could just get below 14st 9lb I think I will have even more oomph - I've been bouncing up and down around there to where I was a couple of weeks ago...

Man, I really want chocolate right now. I'm not hungry. Just utterly greedy. Why do I want it? I will be so cross if I give in but literally cannot think of anything else. Have no alternatives with me either.

Right - let's weigh in. It's tuesday so that can now be weigh in day. 15st 2lbs so -6lbs. I'm happy with that - not overjoyed or anything but I'm okay with it. I need to cut those syns if I want more off! Only I can do it I know that but wish I had the motivation like I did the first ever...

Day 4 Feeling really good so far - like I'm taking control again. Yes, I'm going over syns but horrifically, 27 syns is a good day for me, I think closer to 150 / 200 has been closer to the mark in recent months. I have done 2 supermarket visits and not bought chocolate. Again this is huge...

Hi How much does a syn directory cost in group? Trying to buy one off ebay but they seem quite expensive but they might not be iyswim?

Thank you! - I guess it would be just the plain stuff too rather than the flavoured. That's good though, I do mainly green days.

HI everyone Is reduced far hummous a HEB? I'm sure I read somewhere it was but can't find it now. TIA x

Can I join you? I'm doing this on my own at home and I'm struggling. Started last Monday at 14st 12 and this morning I'm 15st 1. To be honest not been perfect and it's my special time but still, need to get my head into this. My meals are good, home cooked, totally to plan but I can't stop...

So after another ridiculously bad week, I'm really going for it this week. My goal for today is simply to stick to plan.. For this week,that is my aim, just to follow the plan and write everything down. I don't care about the loss next Monday. I just want to know I have the discipline to...

Hi everyone Having skulked around in the background for some time, not really getting anywhere - I need to change something. I have tried Slimming World in the past with success but put it all back on thinking I an go it alone. I have a beautiful 14 month old boy who I have dedicated my life...

Brill - used to love a sticker when I went to group. Got to get posting (oh, and losing!) so I can get me some shiny

Thank you. I'm quite excited now! If only I can keep that chocolate/sugar addiction in check. Think I will do a food diary and make a pact to be 100% honest, even if I'm not 100% on plan!

Wow. 11lbs in 3 weeks is amazing! We'll done. I can't really answer your question but am really hoping you make it as I would also like to be around 12 stone by June as want to start trying for baby number 2 and that would be me healthier (and wiser!) than I was with number 1! Im a similar...

Hiya Am after some inspiration. I'm a rejoiner who has had success in the past but struggling this time. In a clear out, I've thrown away old diaries. Was wondering if anyone re does a successful week and if it has the same results the next time? And what's your most successful week been? X

Hi I'm new to minimins but old to SW. I've tried the plan so many times, I've had good results but since having my baby 14 months ago, just can't get into it. I'm seriously addicted to sugar, especially chocolate. But, we're talking about number 2 now and I need to be healthier for my family as...
