I'm starting here HI! I'm at 14.8 no offence but I hope I'm not here for long :)

Admin - are you able to move this to the slimming world diaries section please? TIA

This is a very similar weight and size to myself.

Today I've been back at work and had a successful day Breakfast - bran flakes and milk, banana Lunch - fruit in jelly, Apple, orange, velvet crunch crisps Dinner - scrambled egg, lettuce, beetroot Snack - Freddie frog, miller light Syns - 9 Been quite sedentary today, as per normal. I'm not...

Hi My first ever diary. I started to follow slimming world from home in January. Started at 221.6lbs and got so low as 197lbs. For some reason fell off the plan and now I'm starting again at 204.6lbs. This time I have to get there, for my husband and daughter, for our next child (ttc) and for...

I've just bagged some clothes up (sizes 8, 10, 6) from before pregnancy to go to the charity shop. Majority of them still have their labels on I am aiming for a 10-12 this time but seeing as 10 is so far away I'll just buy new when I get there! Do you know if the charity shops are open on a...

Hi I too am in need of support. I am starting back to sw tomorrow morning after a couple of months away. I'm 33 with a nearly 2 year old girl. What's app motivation and chat would be fab. My profile name is shell.

Thank you.

what are the syn values for: Velvet crunch crisps, the cheddar ones Fox clear mints Asda clear fruits Thanks Rhubarb X

Hi Since January 4th I've been following the EE SW plan and to date I am 15.2 pounds down. I swore this would be the last diet I tried. I'm finding now it's not a diet. It is so simple and it works. I'm kicking myself for not trying it years ago! Here's to the next 4ish stones! Rhubarb X

Fox now make a butterscotch flavour sweet. Any idea how many syns these are please?

Yes I do this. It's become extreme in the last few months as I'm frequently at home on my own with my little girl. I'm looking into ways to get over it and loose weight for good. I have read that diets will never work because of the restrictive natures.

How are you doing?

How are you guys doing now with this?

I'd love to exercise. I'm quite keen to try the HIIT way, 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week. The only hing that can stop that is my 5 month old. She doesn't like napping during the day... Before getting pregnant of quite happily exercise for an hour a day, sometimes longer.

I've got some xls medical on order to give me a boost the first month. Should be here Friday so will give me time to plan meals and what ever exercise I might be able to fit in.

Anyone?

Ow do you mothers find the time to exercise. My baby is 5 months old and rarely naps for longer than 20 minutes. Other than walking what can I do?!

I really want to bit struggle to find the time as I have a 5 month old baby girl who wot nap during the day! I was hoping to lose my pregnant weight in 9 months, looks like that ain't goi to happen as I only have 4 months left!

What amount of exercise do you do?

Ow much weight can be lost in 20 weeks with calorie counting?

How much weight can you loose doing low carb? I have a limit if 20 weeks. I'm starting with 5-6 stone to loose.

How much do you want for it? I'm interested.

How did you get it free?

I have a 3 month old hi is still feeding at 2 hour intervals. Exercise is impossible for me to fit in.

Chip shop chips.

Dukan. A couple of days off plan on that and your back where you started plus some.

Hi broxie. Have you done Cambridge diet in the last? Sure I remember the name from a couple if years ago.

How much would that cost?

I'm looking to start slimming world. I can't afford the online plan or classes so was thinking about buying a 2013/2014 starter pack from ebay. Is £12 cheap for a brand new one that's never been used? I'm currently on maternity leave and looking for an easy plan to follow to loose my pregnancy...

When the resolutions start. I've made resolutions for Monday

Walk away the pounds.

Was when I first joined too :s

Taking ours to see an osteopath as she was vontuse and suffers with wind, acid reflux and putting hats on! They have been recommended by many of our friends. She was a back to back delivery too so had quite a lump on her forehead for weeks.

My little one dropped off at 11, woke at midnight for a feed then slept through until 8.30 last night. Hopefully on the change

Do you low carb followers exercise or do you just follow the low carb diets?

Have you tried adding cinnamon to your cereal. Makes it taste a bit different and is supposed to lower cholesterol.

Baby has decided she likes to be up until Gone midnight and wake twice in the night for food. I used to be in bed asleep by. 8pm before giving birth!

Why is this area of the forum so quiet?

Well done on loosing it all. I'm going very slowly! I don't have a diary yet, been meaning to start one. Trying to find time to exercise but it's just impossible!

My inspiration is my daughter. I'm going to make her proud of her mummy.

Well done on the big loss in such a short time! I'm hoping for 6 in 12 months.

I put over two stone on with my pregnancy. Te what I wanted when I wanted. My approach was I can always loose it after. I've given myself until my baby girl is 1 to get to goal. :)

To be honest the six week check was a waste of time, for both baby and me! I've about 6 stone to loose to my goal weight but I'd settle for healthy weight to start with. I bought a copy of the terriann 123 diet plan but it turns out it's the Dylan diet in disguise. What's worse is they won't...

I guess ultimately it's just another gimmick for the weight loss market.

I too am starting close to the 16 stone mark. I out on 3.5 in pregnancy. I'm planning on doing the 30 day shred followed by Ripped in 30. Both Jillian Michaels DVDs. After those I might try her body revolution program. The advantage to these DVDs is that they are only 30 minutes a day, which...

I've been wondering the same thing.

Not too bad. Still enjoying every moment on motherhood. Diets still a bit everywhere! Got my 6 week check on Tuesday as baby is 6 weeks tomorrow :) how ru getting on?

We called her Seren. She's sleeping in a bouncy chair at the moment. I don't have her cot here, it's at my parents. We're in the process of sorting her room out so will get it up and tested in next few weeks. In loving every second of being a mum. While she is asleep today I'm looking into...

Yes my first baby. It's all very new to me. Was very scary at first. The first night she came home she screamed the house down, doesn't like the Moses basket at all. I'm trying to get her to sleep on it for a short while each day to get used to it

Thank you :)

I have a 2 week old, I'm waiting the 6 week check up for the go ahead.

Long story short out baby girl is here! Friday she arrived. Not happy at all with Triage at the hospital. But the consultant, midwife and peds that assisted her delivery were first class. My new little bundle of joy. Never been so proud in my life! :D

Why did it put you off? Have you done turbo jam in the past?

I'd like to cc with exercise. What are you following?

My waters broke at about 4 yesterday. Had contraction sporadically until about 1 this morning. I've been told if I'm not in labour by 4 today I have to go to maternity suite, I guess it's for induction. Husband has gone to work today but I'm going to try and be as upright a and mobile as I can...

There's a copy on ebay at the money for £50, that's a bit steep for me. Info on maternity pay :(

Nope. This is our first! :) scared and excited at the same time

At our last scan the various parts were measuring ahead, the Edd then was 26th August and weight estimate was 6.1

Yes all prepared. Finished work on Friday. Hospital bag is all packed. Just waiting for bump to be ready now :)

My BMI was just over 30 so the midwife didn't refer me. I did have four scans, one we thought was 12 weeks but turned out to be 9, one at 12 weeks, one at 20 an one a couple of weeks ago as baby was measuring two weeks bigger. Going from my period dates today was my due date. Going from the...

Where can one obtain a copy of the plan without signing up online or going to class? I'd like to see what's involved before starting.

This time around to be the healthiest and best mother I can be to my first child :) I'm going to be a healthy weight by the first. Birthday party!

I think the failure point for me is using it as a diet. It's bit got to be a diet but a way of life forever. I've always had success with cc and exercise. It's what in starting over with.

I could certainly do with a buddy, plan in starting loosely over the next couple of days and more seriously in the coming weeks.

I could do with a support buddy too.

Annoys me it's always the crisps and chocolates they promote in supermarkets, never the fruit and veg. In a sucker for bread, really is my weakness!

It amazes me too. Some people can carry weight so well. I guess it's the fat/muscle mix.

I was weighed with my height. Taken so they could work out my bmi. Apparently if you are overweight/obese you need extra care. I guess that's why it was done. Mo was just under the cut off point. So far a healthy pregnancy, if anything slightly low Bp but I've always suffered from that.

Are there any new mums or soon to be mums calorie counting?

I'm the same. Always juggling between diets wondering which one would be best. For me at the moment I think calorie counting is winning. I'm 38 weeks pregnant on Wednesday. After baby is born I plan on getting back on track as I've been eating what I've wanted when I've wanted for the last 30...

It so much easier to gain weight than to loose it :( it sucks!

If its what you really want you will stick to it. My diets gone completely out the window since getting pregnant. Still, there will be time to slim down once baby is born. What plan are you going to follow? I find that my biggest fail - jumping from one plan to another to another instead of...

Really? Hope I dont either then!

It's the 38 week appointment, part of the process apparently. I'm dreading it. Last time was 8 weeks.

Are they Bernard Matthews?

Turbo fire you mean? I have got it yea, really love it much like turbo jam. In going to repeat them over the next few months but was looking for chalean extreme for afterwards.

I liked my 8 stone body at 5 foot 6. I'll get there again, just might take a year or two.

Anyone have a copy they no longer require or know where I can get a copy of the program from?

How many weeks is it until The new year/Christmas now?

Hi! Welcome to the forum!

Does anyone have any tried and tested smoothy recipes that they would recommend?

Egg, bacon, sausage? Isn't meat high in protein and low in carbs?

Have you ever tried using lettuce leaves instead of the wraps or bread? I find bread is a real trigger to me.

I love most fruits and veg but find it so expensive! My husbands not a fan so I have often needed to cook 2 separate meals at a time. When working til 6 at might this isn't always possible. I'm just over two weeks away from giving birth, following this I'm getting back on the wagon and getting...

I have quite a lot if pelvic pain. Struggling to get around at the moment, never thought I'd waddle... But I am. Baby is dropping more and more each day. My next midwife appointment is Friday, not looking forward to it as I have to be weighed again :(

I have 3 weeks tomorrow but baby is measuring two weeks bigger so I'm not sure if that's an indication it will come early?!

I'm always a little sceptical to download such items, never know if they are genuine or bot. Thanks for the reply

Hi, I'm looking to get a copy of the Chalene Extreme program for once I've had/adjusted to my baby. Can anyone recommend a UK seller as I cant locate a copy on amazon and I cant find anyone selling a copy on ebay. Would really like this soon so I can take a look and start planning...

Well done! 11lbs in 10 days is over a pound a day!

I used to buy mini mills but always wasted a third as I didn't like the chocolate ones.

What is it? Spam?

The last twice I've dieted I've eaten as little as possible. This time round I'll be going to my calorie limit and staying there. I want this to be maintainable nt a quick fix this time round.

Freddie are 95 calories. Starburst are low too and curly wields.

We are only allowed water at our desks at work so that helps me immensely . I could easily drink 3 litres a day.

Oh I see. So it helps with labour then? Have you heard about the olive oil to prevent tearing?

Wow congratulations! 75lbs is a huge achievement.

Thank you.

What does it do?

Aaa

I'm 10th. Hoping to be back in the wagon and a good fee pounds down by Christmas. I'm hoping to be at goal weight for 1st birthday :)

I'm having the same debate... Should I, shouldn't I... I am quite tempted...

In 8 weeks time, give or take, I'll be in the same boat!

Hi Slim Your in Cheltenham that's not far from me in Hereford. Keep going, a pound is a pound. A pound a week for a year is over three stones!

In a years time I hope I'm at goal weight. It seems so far away at the moment...

I've been looking into packing a hospital bag. What actually do you require? I've found several sources of information and all of them vary as to what you actually need to take with you and what you don't.

My first baby is due in approximately 8 weeks! I am so excited but also a little worried at the same time. I think I've left it too long to diet during pregnancy so I'm going to start once baby is born. How long do you need to wait before starting a diet/exercise program?
