Thanks for replying lucky, that's exactly what I wanted to hear :) I do cook lots from fresh & eat a healthy balanced diet but would just like a bit more flexibility if im not feeling up to cooking or in a rush so can use a ready meal. I bought some stuff yesterday and I'm going to sign up...

I'm an avid SW fan and lost 2 stone just before getting preg with Riley so I know it works. I need to loose weight again (badly!!) and I've started on SW but have found that due to being ill at the moment (long term thing) I really dont have to energy to cook from fresh and SW requires a lot...

Thanks for the info!! As far as that goes I should have 1 extra but my little one is struggling with his weight so his dietician said I should have more calories to boost him so at the moment I'm having 2-3 extras a day and will see what happens as obviously his health is more important at the...

Fab, thank you! x

Thanks! x

Thank you! x

Hey, you probably won't remember me but I joined here when doing SW after my first baby & lost 2stone, I was a couple of lb off my target and then fell pregnant with my second so stopped... Now I'm back to do it all over again lol!! My son has a dairy intolerance and I'm breastfeeding so I've...

Can anyone tell me the syn value please? It's the dairy free marg. Thanks x

Thanks everyone :D I'm also a bf peer supporter (Trained with LLL) and breastfed my daughter for 16 months :) my little man has tongue tie at the moment but its being released next week so hopefully things will become a bit easier for him! I'm really looking forward to getting back to SW...

Fab thanks :D How old is your little one? x

Hiya, I've just had my baby :D & will be coming back to SW to get back into shape in the next couple of months so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the extras you get when breastfeeding as i'm not sure if they've changed since I last did it! Thank you :p

Hiya, I'm looking for a beef lasagne recipe? I usually do the SW spag bol but fancy a change so want to try a lasagne. I've seen the veg one on the website but would prefer one with mince in really. Thanks x

Thank uuuu!!! :D x

Thanks guys!! Well tbh i never got anything out of SW towards the end so I dont think there would be much point in me staying iykwim. I can always rejoin if i need to i spose! xx

OMG!!!! 3.5lb loss meaning i'm just 1.5lb off my target Looks like all the hard work last week showed this week instead of last week! I'm absolutely & utterly OVER THE MOON that im nearly there, I even did a little dance when I just weighed! Now i'm wondering if I should stay on at SW...

Good luck hun, you'll be fab! x

Thanks guys!! I'm determind to get to my target weight so defo sticking to it!! I've also sorted my WW scales so no need to buy some more either :D i've emailed my consultant to let her know i wont be coming back too x

I've made the decision to leave class as I simply cant afford it & the £20 a month that i'm spending would be alot better spent on food as we're so poor at the moment that we're struggling to even go shopping so slimming world has to go for the moment & i'm gunna carry it on myself at home. I'm...

Thanks everyone, feel a bit better now :o Ive decided just to relax for a bit & see how i go. I'm going to go next week & pay what I owe then i'll change groups to a hopefully more friendly one! I think because I dont stay to class then the consultant doesnt really have time for me & I find...

I also think im gunna pay her the £4.50 then change consultants as i really dont like either of her groups that i've been to! Either that or im gunna buy some decent scales & go it alone! x

Yeh I usually wouldnt wear jeans, the problem is that they're the only pair of trousers that fit me as everything else is too big, which is good i spose but not so good for WI! I'm so fed up, seems pretty pointless working my ass off for a 1lb loss when on weeks i've not stuck to plan i've...

Well i'm NOT impressed :( I only lost 1lb and I know you'll say that a loss is a loss but i've honestly worked sooo hard this week & now it seems that it was pointless. I've had less than 10 syns most days and done loads of excercise :s It seems on the weeks that i'm not so good I get a better...

YAYYYYYY! Well done hun x

Thanks chick! x

Aww no, hope she's ok! Our cat was run over last year and we didnt have insurance, sadly he had to be put to sleep a month later as he was partially paralysed and not improving :( the bill was over £400 and taught us a valuable lesson to always have pet insurance! Needless to say we have it on...

I mainly do green so not sure about the best loss sorry, I dont eat a huge amount of meat so i tend to do 1 red and 1 EE per week and then the rest green :) Yes the packets are free :D I love them as a hassle free but filling snack! x

Right well i'm lacking in motivation at the moment so thought i'd start a diary! I'm 6lb off my initial target & my main worry is that i keep sneaking treats when i shouldnt and I want to try and get back on track and get to my target as i'm so close now! :D I'm gunna try & update every few days...

Thanks Jaylou, I'm thinking of trying a new group with a different consultant next week and see if i feel any better about it as i've not really found the consultant very good from the start really. Worth a shot before I stop going as I used to rely on weigh in to scare me into being good but...

BritMum I do have a wide variety of meals and thats not the problem really its the chocolate, cakes, sweets and yummy foods that i'm finding hard to resist at the mo hehe i do try to cook new things each week & try lots of new foods so theres is variety but i think I need to plan like i used to...

I usually have a flexi syn meal but try to have no syns all day and then choose lower syn options for the actual meal, I now have boiled rice instead of fried rice and popadoms instead of nan etc :) x

Yeh i'll give it a few more week & see how I go but if im still finding it unhelpful then i'll just get a good set of scales and stop going! I know where im going wrong (picking at things i shouldnt - hubbys/daughters) so I can sort that out fairly easily but the problem is i have no...

Today I went to weigh in & had lost 1lb which isnt too bad as i've not really stuck to plan plus im badly constipated so suspect it may be a bit more than that lol I told my consultant that im really not feeling motivated anymore and that I needed some help getting back on the wagon, i told...

I dont stay to class anymore as I dont find it very helpful to be honest, I just got & get weighed then come away... starting to wonder if it would be better to just weigh at home & save the £4.50 a week but i'm close to target so gunna carry on for a lil bit longer x

WELL DONE!!! x

Haha no I was ok! I spend wayyy too much though lol x

I was :D got some bargains!! x

Its gotta be done sometimes :D glad you enjoyed x

Thanks guys! I'm REALLY fussy when it comes to meat & will only eat top quality super lean stuff from the butchers :ashamed0005::ashamed0005::ashamed0005: Great tips everyone, will defo be paying Aldi a visit next week x

Good luck hun, once you've made that step & broken the ice you'll be fine. I'm sure they'll all be very welcoming x

Thanks ladies :D my grin is staying in place :D:D hehe I'm hoping it will be a good loss at weigh in too as i've not been this week, might even get SOTW!!! x

Well done hun! SW is ace, you wont regret it. Good luck x

I've not been to WI this week as i've been poorly but I weighed myself on my own scales this morning and i've lost 2lb this week :D and thats taken my BMI into the normal range, YAYYYY! I have 5lb to go until my target of 10stone. I've lost nearly 3stone since having my daughter and 1.5 of...

Thanks everyone, some fab advice given! I feel loads better now we have food in (just need to go butchers for meat!) and I can stick to plan for the next week. Hopefully this thread will help others that are struggling financially too :) I weighed myself this morning (not been to official WI...

Hmmm think i might just have to go shopping on the credit card, i aint bloody going hungry! x

Yeh i'm really careful & take advantage of offers etc with lots of planning but we've run out of stuff and havent go any money until Saturday (I dont wanna use credit card unless i have to) so we've just gotta make do! We do get our potatoes & eggs from hubbys parents for free so i'm sure we'll...

Im really struggling sticking to SW at the moment as we've got no money :( We really cant afford to go shopping to get any fresh foods, meat, fruit, veg etc so we're having to 'make do' with what we already have in the freezer which is not very SW friendly at all. I havent got much choice...

Good luck x

Thanks hun xx

No its not cos i've had a bad week its cos i dont want to give everyone this virus i've got as i'm sure they dont wanna feel like this! If i feel better i'll go but otherwise i wont x

Thanks guys, it cant have been carbs I was craving as I ate carbs for my dinner & tea yesterday and it didnt satisfy! I've woken up this morning feeling really ill though so maybe thats something to do with it, I feel like i've been hit by a truck at mo :( Thanks for all advice & support...

I had no syns left :( I already had a chocolate club biscuit earlier & some syns for my tea, booo hooo lol x

Its 'star week' this week & i'm also pretty fed up and down... not a good combination!! All i want is CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE lol! I just wanna stuff my face with yummy cadburys chocolate & not feel guilty :mad: I have my weigh in Thursday morning so I cant even indulge and then work it...

I feel like i eat LOADS and i'm never hungry but I usually have a good loss each week :) as long as your sticking to plan and eating plenty of superfree foods then your loss should be ok. Good luck! x

Thanks guys :D x

Back from a week in Cornwall & had a FANTASTIC time!! :D I think i've gained about 5-7lb (my scales arent very accurate!) as i've eaten like a pig & had loads of yummy foods. It was DEFO worth it so i'm trying to stay positive as i know i can easily loose that. Got WI on Monday so will let...

Well done Andie! Good luck everyone! I have my weigh at 7 and i'm dreading it, I gained 1/2lb last week so this week i've been REALLY good and stuck to the plan 110% but my scales say i've not lost :( i'll be gutted if I havent because i'm working and getting nothing back... I'm hoping for at...

Ooo another Manc, where about u from? x

Do you all stay to the class or do you just go & get weighed? I often dont stay, only now & again i stay as I find it a bit boring and long winded :giggle:I'm also usually pretty tired by then & just wanna get home to bed! What does everyone else do? I'm trying to decide whether to stay...

I cut out eggs for a week & it didnt really help to be honest x

Another lovely day, i love this weather!!

We decided on Cornwall for a week rather than abroad this year due to finances & the exchange rates. CANT WAIT!!! :) Hope the weather is on our side! We also have a few long weekends planned too :D x

I would love a recipie for leek & potato soup if anyone has one i can try? Free or low syn if poss, thanks :)

Its been gorgeous here past few days so we had a BBQ earlier & it was GREAT!!! I made sure i was on a red day & stuffed my face with syn free sausages, bacon, chicken, salad... mmm it was yummy :p who said you cant eat nice food when dieting, i love SW!! Has anyone else had a BBQ this weekend? x

Red pepper, love it & usually just eat that when i'm making tea or whatever :)

Yeh I agree with the syns thing, I tried cutting them right down & it didnt aid my weight loss at all! I find that if I aim for around 10 a day then my weight loss is at its best so maybe try increasing them a bit as they do say you should eat to loose so might be worth a try? One person in my...

Well done, so your should be proud!! Keep it up x

Have you done a food diary and looked at it with your consultant? Maybe its something that your eating that slowing your loss, try cutting back on things like bread, potatoes etc for one week and see if that helps your loss. At my group there are a few ladies that have cut out certain foods and...

Well done those that have lost!! Good luck those due to weigh :)

Good luck, i'm sure you'll be fine :) I really struggle when we have nothing in, I also really struggle if i've not planned and i'm out & about cos I always end up just getting something that I *think* will be ok then get home and realise that I shouldnt really have had it afterall!! Let us...

Gained 1lb as expected haha I kinda knew it was coming & know exactly where it came from (all the vodka & nice food over the weekend lol) so its not so bad cos I know I can correct it! Back on track tomorrow & gunna defo loose, watch this space!!! x

I want to get some ham that I can pick at on red days, it needs to be free so that I can snack on it inbetween meals with a bit of salad or cottage cheese. Any ideas? I'm a bit lost as to what is 'lean' ham and cant really afford to spend a fortune on 'the finest' from tesco etc. Any help...
