Does anybody take metformin for diabetes?? Need some advice about what to eat whilst taking this medication ???

Wow look at your belt ........ Amazing x

So sorry to hear about your loss. Sending hugs xxx

Don't know, try to find out why we feel we need the 'reward', but how we do that I don't know. Perhaps somebody will come along who can help us.

I'm the same, eat when I'm sad, mad angry etc. Can't stop myself. Then afterwards feel bad about it. Never stops me the next time though. I convince myself I deserve it because ...... but it does not really make things better does it. And so the cycle goes on.

That's fantastic katoof well done you x

Glad your feeling better, I too am a bit lost but if we need to take the scenic route so be it. Good luck with the gym x

Well first gain for me this week, one and a half pounds. First gain since new year so I can't grumble. Need to get more focused, not talk about it, do it !

I've lost the plot today, want a day off, or two lol. Weekends are much harder.

Hi debz, I'm not going to try and give you any advice, I know when your longing for a baby the whole world seems to announce they are pregnant. So just sending loves n hugs instead. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They are lovely, might plan one for the weekend :-)

Well back from weigh in and another 2lb off for me, 12 pound in total now. Need to be good see if I can get my 1 stone for next week xxxx

Fantastic surzy !!!! That's one big weight loss xxx

That's a special date for me too, got something planned, can't put what in case he looking over my shoulder !! Let's set a mini 4 lb target for then, see if we can do it together. Anybody else up for it ??

Flexi syns sounds like a good way if feeling in control. We ain't saints (well I'm not) so we can't be good all the time xxxxx

Welcome back I too am finding it hard at the moment sending hugs xxxxxxxxx

Quick check in to say I stayed the same, looks like I got away with it this week. Going to try and do food diary see if that helps me get back on it.

Hello cherry pie, fingers crossed you get your loss this week, you have still got a little time to pull it back. Going to take your advice, start looking at my books again, see if I can give myself a talking to !! Thanks for your message xxxxx

Well done on your stay the same. Good idea to leave last week behind I'm going to try and do the same. X

Hello katoof, I guess our problem with 'food' is why most of us got to this point in the first place. Do you mean you have swapped plans within s w or you trying a complete new start with another plan all together. I know in my heart I have not been doing this properly since the start really...

I failed big time last night, all because I was tired, stressed and fed up. Wish I could get my head round why food is my saviour. It really does me no good at all. Will try and get out for a long walk today, see if I can get rid of some of the damage. Thing is I've lost it with this diet, my...

How much are they ?

Ok so now I'm annoyed with myself.

Can you add a link to the story please? I can't find it and would love to read about such an inspirational young man.

I will watch with interest to see what peoples views are on this, never tried them but have been tempted in moments of desperation.

Oops just let a sandwich and a bag of crisps slip in, and before my tea :( oh well too late now x

Thank you coljack, I will bring it up again at my next line management meeting.

We offered to buy a microwave but they would not let us, don't want us cooking in the office. A toaster is something to think about. I have got a food flask but find that the food is only luke warm by the time I get to eat. I've got a camping stove will have to put it in the boot of the car. See...

I find lunch the hardest meal of the day to plan. Need to take it with me, the only facility is a kettle and a fridge. Tend to take pasta or rice salads, these are getting boring now.

Don't worry Hun, we all do it from time to time. Xxxx

Well done it shows it works if you stick at it.

Well done Sally, at least no gain xx

Good times for me tonight, lost 2 1/2 making 10 in total since I started. And I won the new Italian cook book !! Had a belly full of pancakes when I came back !! Oopsie oh well had to be done. Tomorrow starts the new week :-) xx

This is me too :-(

It's a hydraulic circuit system that you spend 3 minutes on each section = 30 mins in total. You are meant to burn between 300 - 900 calories in a relatively short space of time.

Well done :-)

So long as loose I don't care about the rest of the group, I'm in it for me. That said I would always support anybody that needed help, awards just don't do it for me.

I've been out for a brisk walk tonight, first time I've done any exercise in a long time. Would like to join a gym but out of the question at the moment. Had a look at one of those 30 minute gyms and they charge £39 a month !!!! Question is are they any good ?????

Surrounded by weight loss, well done :-)

Woo woo go Surzy !!!!!!

Half a pound on, not so bad after all. Thanks for your support xxxxxx

Not looking forward to weigh in tonight, been very bad, fell off it big time. Must get back on after today, I can't give in this time :-)

Said I was confused I keep repeating myself. Lol x

Confused or what?? I stayed same after my blow out, how can it be?? When I'm good I only have small losses ??

Stayed the same, I'm even more confused, how can I eat like pig and sts, and be really good and only have one pound loss ??

Fell off the wagon big time, I'm fed up of being this huge person, what I see in the mirror disgusts me. My weight loss since Xmas is a pathetic 8lb. It should come off easier than that surely?? My solution yesterday was to eat everything I could get my hands on. Off to the scales to check the...

I think most groups are like that to a degree, you will soon be one of the older faces and be in a little group of your own. Don't know about just dance but will be interested to find out what others think. I've got s wii gathering dust so it could be what I need too !! Good luck with your journey x

Don't know how the awards come up but, BIG well done with your weight loss and sow xxxx

Like your style, well done you !!!!

Well lost a pound this week so all good on the weight loss front. Been eating devils work bread due to lack of planning, need to sort that one out !! Also been craving chocolate badly. Think it's all down to being tired. Off work next week, it's half term for us, hope I can get back on track eek...

Amazing loss Hun, hope it's the pick up you need. Xxxx

Weigh in on Tuesday night. You just made me laff, flashing your pants. . My trousers are feeling more comfy too, now that's are a good feeling. I need to up my activity, dog been poorly this week so not been out for any walks. Hope she will be better next week. Just turned down my sons demands...

Good post, keep it up :-)

Think I will give this a try too, what was it called, super windy soup? Lol x

I'm in the same boat too, found it really hard to be a good girl all week this week. I seem to be in self sabotage mode. I lost 2 and a half this week, got my first half stone award, and sow. You would have thought that would have inspired me. But I've not had one day on plan since Wednesday :(...

Just wondering ?? Who keeps a daily food diary and who try's to just keep track in their head ?? And do you think it makes any difference to your weight loss?? X

Lost one and a half pound, three pounds in two weeks !!!!! Grrr. Not hit the 8lb target for January, but at least I feel in control of what I'm eating. I'm pleased about that :)

Wow some amazing weight losses on here, well done all whether your loss is big or small. Well done too for sticking at it, even when the going gets tough. This time is our time :) we deserve it :)

Thank you mwah x

Not had time to read anybody else's results tonight but I've lost 1 1/2 pound. That's it! Won't make biggest looser but hey ho carry in I go. X

Hope it goes well for you too, I'm always nervous on weigh in day :-)

My first weigh in looms tomorrow, hope I don't let you all down x

I find lunch a hard meal to plan for too. Today I took half a tin if ratatouille, mixed with a handful of cooked pasta, some sweetcorn and a chicken breast (grilled) 2 syns for the lot and was ready in the time it takes to cook some pasta. I cooked it last night and warmed it up but you could...

I turned down a fresh cream cake today :-) unheard of lol

Oops 50 posts!! I say x

50 posts !!! I say x

How do I find 'community' if I only use this forum on my iPhone??? Sounds like lots of amazing weight loss going on, well done :-) it always amazes me how we all loose at different rates, I'm only expecting a 2 pound loss, it's rare for me to loose more than that. Going to try and force some...

Thank you all for your ideas, looks like we all agree on the bread! My breakfast ended up like this :- fruit, muller and a Alpen light crumbled on top, thought I could have the other alpine at break at work with my coffee, but ....... I was still stuffed so alpen stayed in my drawer :-) Thanks...

Bbb, nice breakfast idea thank you will give it a try x

I've done it !!! Been and joined a class, not sure what the damage is yet, need to build myself up to looking in my book. Dont know what to take to work for lunch tomorrow yet, was thinking about savoury rice and salad. Think I need to avoid bread if I can, then I can have cereal for breakie...

No I never seen it, why did it annoy you? Xx

16 stone!! Is that a misprint? Ooh go on say it was slimming world !

Hello !!! Not been on for a couple of days, been too busy eating rubbish before I go to join sw again on Tuesday :'( Is it just me or do others do this final fling thing before starting to diet?? It sounds like the number of members in our group is getting more by the day, and unlike me you...

Count me in, 8 pound, gone by end of January. Going to spend some time tomorrow looking at this site to get some food ideas, won't get my pack till next week. Have done ss before but need to freshen up on what's good and what's not. Any low syn snacks ideas welcome, get bored of muller's n fruit.

How about The stone at a timers!! I'm sure more ideas will follow x

Hello all, I too have about 9 stone to loose, would be happy with 5 for a start tho lol. Tried and failed more times than I would like to admit to. Hope this time is my time. Be good to join your growing tribe, see if we can help each other to be slimmer and healthier. Going to join group next...

I can relate to all you say, I seem to spend all of my life failing to tackle my weight which makes me so unhappy. Only trouble is I seem to tackle it for short periods 1 week or 2 and because I cant see any change I give up at the first bad day. I am rejoining a class tonight and hope with the...

I did not go to class last night due to thinking I have put on (too much nicey's on Mothers Day) now I wish I had gone and faced the scales. I suppose if we are to continue with this long term we will always have ups and downs on the scales.

You can also see your practice nurse for a first person to offload your worries onto. If you have a good one she may come into the GP with you. Best of luck. xx

AAh well done! Can tell you have been doing this longer than I have.

Think I would give the leader a text or call to be sure, or get really smart and think of a red red meal!! I cant think of one. Happy thinking!!

I find it hard to control my syns while following 'ee', it does not seem like a diet so my old habbits creep back in. I did loose 2lb on it last week, but my scales show I have put it back on again this. Thats my fault tho not the plan.

lol - thanks for that you have cheered me up when I was feeling a bit fed up!!!

Hi I joined slimming world in Jan, lost 6lbs so far, joined minimins last week so am just getting used to the site. Good luck with your weight loss

Photo's are an inspiration to a newbie like me. You have done amazing. x x
