Congratulations everyone, I got a BFP on Sunday!!!! It was a bit of a surprise ;) as I had lost nearly a stone with SW then kept staying the same lol......good luck with all these new bambino's.

Well ladies, it seems that the universe doesnt want me to lose weight (naughty universe), after joining SW online on 26/01/15, I have recently discovered I am pregnant :D So will continue with my healthy eating but I guess I will be back next year ;)

Folks, I haven't weighed myself because.........................................................I'm pregnant :party0011:

I STS this week but happy enough, well done everyone :)

I STS this week, I know the feeling Shezam, my biggest downfall is the weekend alcohol and it doesn't help that I'm Irish :cry:

Whoop, whoop ladies, well done.

This is Tekila - she was 8 on Tuesday :birthday:

Jellybean33 your doing great, looking at your weight loss, your so close to being half way there and that is awesome!!!!! Also check out your healthy BMI, I'd love to have healthy BMI status :)

Thanks guys, its only cause it was my first week on SW, so the March challenge will be the real test!!!!!! Thank you so much for your hard work Mandelgrot :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

My OH started as a postman a few months ago, he gets paid to lose week - so far he has lost 2 stone, I'm not jealous - honest!!!!

Hi Kiwisam, I do the SW online, more to fit round family and work as I don't have time to attend group. It is a great motivational tool, there is a thread on here about doing SW from home, though if you are aware of how the diet works, coming on here for a chat can be motivation enough. I am...

What a good hubby, it's always nice to have something to look forward to. I'm not going to dwell, anytime I find myself dwelling I shall eat some fruit hehe - that will be my new mantra :)

1lb off for me today, thank goodness as I was really rather bad from Thursday but this week I shall be good, very, very good :)

Well done ladies - I was so bad from Thursday (lets not mention the bottle of rum) - anywho was very lucky and have a 1lb off.....didn't think it would happen!!!! Fifty Shades of Grey on Friday is my reward that will make me stick to plan this week ;)

I was SO bad the last few days, been feeling miserable with the cold and my boss was over on Thursday - out to dinner and it turned into a downward spiral but thankfully a 1lb of, it should of been more but I am determined to be a good girl this week and for extra motivation my shock absorber...

Thanks for the advice guys, I am doing SW online but I have logged it separately and the syns under the reciepe as suggested :)

They were bubble77, I would highly recommend them :)

Thanks bubble77, I was thinking that too just didn't want to mess up!!!!

Hi Guys I made the bacon and brie potato skins tonight (2 syns) but wondering do I separate them into free foods and syns in my food diary or add it all under syns. Obviously the brie is the syn but completely...

Well done you for going back - everyone on here is behind you 100% :gen126:

I got a bit paranoid and actually bought a second set of scales then thought "I weigh myself in the same place, in the same clothes and my weight is going down" - you've been doing it right and I bet your friends just jealous cause your doing so well :p

Big congrats, knew you could do it :)

Bacardi mmmmmm rum

I celebrated by walking 3.2 miles to collect a parcel from the post office, took the dog and I don't know who was dragging who in the end, trying to work out who is the biggest couch potato lol

Any help much appreciated please. I made the bacon and brie potato skins tonight for dinner (2 syns) but not sure how I log it in my food diary due to it having free foods and syns. Do I put it under syns or do I separate the ingredients? Any advice is greatly welcome. Thanks Sarah

Good luck Sarahjane, I am sure you will do great. I had a dream that my husband (I'm not married and never seen this person before) bought me an Audi A5 last night, here is hoping this dream comes true lol.

Hi Kimbec, I just started myself online whoop - welcome to a great group :)

Weigh in Monday 2nd - lost 7lbs but it was my first week so I know I will steady out this week ;)

I have a Black Russian Terrier called Tequila and a boxer called Percy :)

Hi Doingitright, I am so glad I started!!!!! Went to group back in 2010/2011 and lost 2 stone but life just got in the way. I have started online as I find it easier to manage round kids and work, so having knowledge from attending group a few years ago really helps!!!! Well done ladies -...

Hi Donna That's super!!!! Best of luck with Slimming World but you have done fantastic already :)

Hi Happy Holidays - I will be ringing Vodafone shortly to hopefully get it capped........nearly fainted when I seen the bill lol

Hi folks, this is my first weigh in as I bit the bullet last Monday and started SW online and I have lost 7lbs - I am sooooo happy :)

Hi Nikkik86 Living in Northern Ireland I had the same problem with the NHS app but downloaded a similar one from googleplay which works without any problems - hope that helps and in relation to your question muscle is heavier than fat so could be the reason for the gain :)

Ok, lets do this - this is my first challenge so gonna go for 8lbs eeek.....

Its the friends who wish they had big boobs and I'm like nooooooooooo......

I just want to be healthier and appreciate my body more :)

This made me giggle, I have the same issues (roll over in bed and lie on one is the worst experience EVER). Anywho, I downloaded Couch to 5k app, done the first one on Friday and my goodness I felt it - took the dog with me to look a little less silly but it went pretty well - not easy but I...

When your daughter goes over her data allowance on her mobile and adds an extra £45 to the monthly bill - eek :cry:

I find with SW that my spending is more controlled because I plan my meals more, before I would of looked in the fridge and went "nothing for dinner" and order a take away or head to the shop and buy something quick and easy for the dinner i.e. pizza. So for me its a no brainer lol and my...

Oh no Sara, we had a power cut today but luckily the only thing it stopped me doing was the washing ;)

It is more than likely the fruit, if your drinking plenty of water it should keep you hydrated but if it lasts longer than a week maybe go see your GP. Do you attend a group at all? If so maybe speak to your consultant. Also are you taking more fibre foods than you usually would of?

Oh jellybean they sound lovely. If only I had some sweetener in the house I would be making them now ;)

Just found it, it's as follows: £140 for a year - save £100 £80 for 6 months - save £40 £45 for 3 months - save £15 Hope that helps :)

I read that once your three months come to an end you can get a discount if you resubscribe - not sure how it works though but worth keeping an eye out to see if you can get it cheaper.

Tesco for me - no Aldi in Northern Ireland and we still see the adverts which makes me jealous - though I do love the bear in the woods ad they have on at the moment ;)

Hi Gemma Hope it goes great for you :) Sarah

Remember you are doing this for YOU and nobody else - don't worry about what other people think.......

Hi Kathy Thank you for your kind words. My granny passed away on Christmas Day from blood cancer so its something really important to me. It would be great if more people gave blood (honestly doesn't hurt). At the end I stuck to SW plan and asked for water instead of the usual diluted orange...

Went and gave blood this afternoon, apparently you lose a lb but unfortunately in 12 hours it comes back - dang......thought I had lost a wee cheat lb :8855:

Think Jen's idea is the best, your getting the books for the price of Reveal magazine rather than spending more on books via Ebay ;)

I love Slimming World - feel like I am always eating though (I am not complaining) lol

Hi Juju_doll, like yourself I am an online member, there is a thread for people doing SW online, if you need any extra support its a great spot :)

I'm with you their Jeallybean, its good to aim for a 1lb a week, its much more rewarding and the consistency is easier to maintain, too much off on certain weeks leaves greater risks of gaining the next week.

I went to group in 2010/2011 and then a lot of personal stuff got in the way - I am now an online member, having went to the groups in the past it makes it easier to understand. Good luck with your targets :)

Well done Cennie. I just love looking at my BMI going down, it really boosts my mood. I done SW group 4 years ago and the first week is always awesome and then the weigh loss levels out but slow and consistent is way better than a crash diet. Though in the age of technology when everything is...

This is amazing, it is soooooooo helpful. Thank you so much.

So glad I found this - I love peppercorn sauce and thought I had to forgo it!!!

Know the feeling Elaine, I am at a loss as to what to make this evening - I made the SW Bolognese last night, it was ok but the stock made it more beefy than tomato, gonna have the rest for lunch though - no point in wasting it :D

Take it slowly, maybe just go for weigh in, rather than staying for the entire group meeting, explain to your consultant about what you have told us and just do your best. You have done fantastic so far but life can be so unpredictable that these things do happen, don't beat yourself up about...

That's super Fiona, hope I do as well as you!!! I am trying soooooooooooo hard not to stand on those scales, trying to hold out until my first week is up which is truly next Tuesday as I started on Monday evening...........damn this whole temptation thing :sigh:

It did - unless only I can see it - dang I'm confused now!!!!

Yippeee....hopefully my ticker works :confused:

Thanks guys for the warm welcome - first day in the office (I'm usually on the road with work) but so far I've eaten more fruit in the last few days than I probably have in the last month whoop :D

I started yesterday online eek!!!! Found this forum and was reading through this thread, you guys have really inspired me so fingers crossed I can stick to it. The groups just don't work round family life and work, also as a lot of people have mentioned, I don't really find them that...
