you mentioned some dairy free yogurts being 2 syns. Can I ask which ones please?

Hi there I have been following the SW plan on and off for years but although not confirmed yet think I may be dairy intolerant as I keep having bad stomach cramps and running to the loo etc. Is anyone else on here on the SW plan not having dairy and if so how do you manage please? Thanks

So first week I lost .... a lb .... better than putting weight on I suppose. I know why which is the main thing, I didn't really have a plan. This week I need to be more focused. Thanks everyone x

What is it with me and dieting, why do I never seem to have the motivation to stick at this? Between April last year and January this year I lost just over 2 stone. And what do I go and do, put it all back on again!!!!!!!! ... I need to do this. I need to loose weight. What is my **** problem!

Thanks for that. The ache in my back and side yesterday got to the point where I was rocking in my chair for comfort. I'd taken 2 extra paracetomol and 2 ibruprofen which helped but didnt get rid of it. Trouble is with me is that I have a very low pain threshhold. Eventually it did go away but...

Ok Mr Rod I am ready to bow down and take whatever verbal abuse you want to throw at me as I really do need a kick up the bum please sir! Been on SW plan now for 7 weeks and have lost 1 stone 3.5 lbs as of this evenings weigh in when I lost 1 lb, last week it was 1/2lb ... where and what am I...

Does anyone mind me askingif someone could describe the pain they feel and whereabouts they get it please? My reason for asking is after weeks of a bloated stomach and getting in a pain in my back and stomach on the right side I decided to go and see my GP for help and he is sending me for a...

Hi Tractor Girl ... well done on the weight loss ... thats fabulous. Oh to be even a 1lb behind that would have been music to my ears this week. I've now lost 1st 3.5lbs since I started, tonight was my 7th week so I want to loose at least 4 lbs next week to get my 1 and a half stone award!! ...

Well a really disappointing week as I only lost 1 lb tonight! I know why however as I simply have not been eating and when I did a couple of times it was the wrong things. So I have given myself the preverbial kick up the bum and here's to next weeks weigh in!

I've used the chilli flavoured one in pasta x

I felt really touched by your post and the two things I kept thinking was ... you did it before you can do it again!!!! and you learn by mistakes ... they're the experiences in life that make you stronger. Sending you BIG HUGS xxx

Hi everyone Just signed back into MM's after been absent for over 2 years! Looks like I have been yo-yo dieting then since December 2009. Crikes how you lose track of time. Been back at SW now for 6 weeks and in that time have lost 1 stone 5 and a half lbs. Had a weight gain during this time...

Well I aim to confuse and tonight is not going to be any different for me! I joined in 2007 and didnt really get anywhere and then came back in June 2009 and lost a little bit of weight but kinda just lost the plot! But here I am again ... on my third week of SW and lost 3.5 lbs the first week...

Week 2 weigh in and nothing major to report. I lost 2 lbs and so now have my half stone award so at least I didnt gain but this week was tough and I must confess to falling off the rails a few times. I dont know whether it was because it was my STAR week and because of this I was in a lot more...

I've not had a paticularly good weekend with Xenical, not that I had been an angel I must confess but I have had really bad griping pains, is this normal?

2 lbs lost this week! Not as good as I had hoped but at least I got my half stone award! I had an exceptionally long STAR week too, plus lol... I have decided that my fibroids are taking up half of my body weight.... in reality I am a slim size 10 you know ... I wish!

Am not very good at the technical ways of putting things, (see my other threads for the evidence... teehee) but I have a problem with my lymphatic drainage system which is what I believe is what basically flushes all of the toxins out of your body by circulating it round your system till you...

Could you go and stand on the front or back door, get some fresh air ... I know this sounds silly but the smell remains in your nose (best way I could think to put it) way after the visual has gone. And being able to smell it triggers the memories! ... do I sound daft!!!!

Crikes, sorry to read you're not well ... but great news about the weight loss, just be careful what you eat and you'll be fine! x

lol... you'll be please to know I kind of resisted temptation and had low fat egg mayo on brown bread and a banana... but then had a packet of walkers crisps mid afternoon ... will count them from my syns! ... only trouble is have been having bum burps for the past few hours! ... so much for the...

How lucky are you! Please dont give my daughter any ideas, so far we only have our grand daughter some weekends! Have a great time!

AAAAAGGGGGHHHH! There I got it off my chest .... lol .. Not even 8am in the morning and already I'm feeling pretty p'd off. I've just looked in the fridge to get my lunch ready for work and the cottage cheese I was planning to have with my lunch has been eaten by my younger son. So I thought...

You go girlfriend! I am getting married the month after you but 'sob' nowhere as glamourous a honeymoon, I am so envious! We'll need to sput each other on:)

Thank you! You'll be pleased to know I fought back, although I did have something to eat I kept it within my red day and had a ham sandwich! I had WW bread and used them as sins ... x

Thanks for the messages! I'm from Sheffield same as yourself, just outside of the town centre. Not had a good day today though due to the pain from the fibroids, really feel like comfort eating :cry:

Thanks for that! The doctor has said he thinks some of the pain is from my uterus pressing against the ciatic nerve. Apparently due to the size and number of fibroids my uterus is the size of a 16 week pregnancy! So just think after all this weight loss and the removal of the fibroids I will be...

Had my first experience of the side effects of Xenical today. Nothing major, just trying to figure out what it was that I ate that gave me the problem!

YAY my first weigh in today and have lost 5 lbs so am really pleased! Had hoped to have lost a little more but its my star week too so maybe next week!

YAY First weigh in and I lost a total of 5 lb so am really happy!

You should be due to see your GP again soon (if not already) so good luck! ... stay focused and positive about what you want. I know its not always easy, try telling him what you want rather than waiting for him to make suggestions! I had a similar problem at first but then as the doctor I was...

Thanks for that! I'd like to join from June please as my plan is to try and loose 1 stone by the end of the month. x

I've just tried these for the first time after buying as a multipack from the local supermarket. OMG if the cherry one is worth 2 syns it was well worth it! What are the syn values of the other ones does anyone know please? I fell utter indulgence coming on over the next few days ;)

Well half way through day 2 of taking them and so far no side effects, although I have got headache? I took xenical once before, about 2 years ago and had to come off them as even when I thought I wasn't having a lot of fat I had loads of side effects, from the first tablet to the last one, it...

Went to see my GP today who said the only way to get my operation for my fibroids is to loose weight so to help has prescribed Xenical. Have been reading all the posting ... what joys do I have in store! I'm just a little confused still about the discussions I've read about how much fat I should...

OMG! I knew I had put some weight on but wasnt ready for the outcome of my first weigh in today ... 21 st 11 pounds .... like I said ... OMG!!! Star week next week so fingers crossed that's why I weighed more than I thought!

Hi peeps My main reason for loosing wait I must confess is because I need a much needed operation but I just thought too that I would mention that I am also getting married in November 2009. I had already bought my dress when my gynycologist anounced I needed an operation and had to loose weight...

Hi peeps I'm joining SW tomorrow but want some moral support please so thought the added bonus of being part of a team would be a plus. Anyone got room for me please?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that SW is as easy to follow as it was the first time around but I keep hearing about food optimising? I have a feeling I'm going to be asking a lot of questions:) I'd better have a look around this forum at all the other things it holds. Are any other new members...

Just had to share this ... my dear OH is going to the shop to buy cigarettes, he knows I am on here and also looking at Slimming World website and what does he ask? "Do you want a bar of chocolate".... lol ...

Thank you I'm sure the whip will need cracking .... trust me!

Well here I am, back again (I originally joined this forum in 2007) Back then I lost just short of 2 stone eventually but have managed to put it all back on again as well as I think a little more:cry: I need to be however a woman on a mission this time as I need an operation for health reasons...

I've posted on another thread about taking diet pills at the same time as doing SW as thats what I have been thinking about doing but the dietician who I saw yesterday when I suggested it said she couldnt really say if it was a good or bad idea. She was concerned about the hidden fats in meat...

I'm starting to get a little worried with you're comments you know! I have to admit that I haven't been taking them as regularly as I should. And to be honest as I am being concious of what I am eating ie low fat, I have only had one real episode that resulted in me being on the loo for like...

Good Luck to you too Mini! We know we can do it! Its just mind over matter and kick old Mr Temptation up the backside and out the door!!!!

Hi everyone I am under my doctor for health reasons and when she suggested xenacol as an aid to weight loss I thought I would give it a try. For those of you who have tried it before you will know that its all based around fat absorbtion and so eating a low fat diet is a must! Just wanted to...

Well I said I was gonna do it so here goes ... starting back tomorrow with avengence as got to admit that I strayed a little due to loosing 11 lbs the first week! So have sorted out my cupboards (again) ... put all the untouchables in another cupboard and have been to the library for low fat...

Totally Confused! Hi everyone! Sorry to post this here but couldnt see anywhere else. Can someone explain to me what this LL (Lighter Life) I think is please? Also what is this form that needs to be signed by a GP? Sorry to be a pain but I'm confused! :wave_cry:
