Are they in a purple box?

Hey i know just how u feel. Im 36 weeks today, and have tried to stick to plan failing badly, making me quite miserable. I have now decided with only 4 weeks left i want to get into swing of things before baby comes and be prepared. I have started a diary, called during and after pregnancy...

I am reluctant to try EE because the sort of meals i have would not always be able to have my 1/3, ie with breakfast and lunch, though dinner would be ok most days. Has anyone done EE and lost but rarely having 1/3?

Well done debbie great first week. How do u find ee, im reluctant to try as not sure about always being able to manage 1/3 super free.

Hi Mrs Mc, thanks for posting. Im not too worried about losing the next 4 weeks, but want to stick to plan so its all clear in my head to keep going when baby arrives.

Hi emma Yes planning on breastfeeding, but unsure how this works with my healthy extras? I did think hey what the hell only 4 weeks lets eat rubbish and enjoy it, but i want to try to get into the swing of it before baby arrives.

We left it as a surprise, cant believe how quickly its coming round!!

Thanks for your reply. I joined a class a while back, so have been getting weighed just not following the plan, so i will go straight back after baby comes, and continue untill it does too.

Hi everyone. Im Jodie and tomorrow (29.03.2010) i am 36 weeks pregnant, and so far have put on 3 stone. I have tried throughout to do sw, ww, cc etc but cant last a day lol. Well sw is what i enjoy the most and what i want to do after baby comes, so i want to spend the next 4 weeks getting my...

Hi guys I have 4 weeks to go till bubs due, and am so looking forward to getting into shape. So far 3 stone on!! I was 2 stone overweight before falling pregnant too! So my plan is to do SW soon as after baby, breastfeed and lots of walking,combined with biggest loser wii game. Anyone else...

Hi guys Well last night i finally realised where i have been going wrong the last 10 years. I have always seen my diet, be it sw or ww, cc or sf, as a short term fix, until i get to goal, so have never really changed my eating habits. Well after another blow out binge last night (im 35wks preg...

Hi all What cereal bars can we have for a heb? Thanks x

I think so, you have a list of foods you can eat.

Hi can someone please tell me how the no count works? I have always followed points, but feel a change is in order. Thanks

Does anyone know where i can get the food optimising book from? I have looked at Ebay but people are asking for £20 and i cant afford that, hence not joining a club. Any help greatly appreciated x

Hi all I have tried sw, ww slimfast in the past with no luck, except for a stone loss on ww. I then get bored and change diets, and this can happen every couple of weeks. So if i was to try sw, and not change, would i lose??? I am also 33 wks pregnant and want to sort myself out before baby...

My midwife said to do sw as it is the only safe diet for pregnant women, thats why im back on plan from tomorrow, as i have gained 2 srtone already.

By other foods i mean unlimited bread, as im 29 weeks pregnant and have been craving bread so thought by cc i could have this and still be ok.

Hi all I decided to try cc as i wanted to eat foods other than sw foods. I enjoyed the first 5 days, but have not stuck to it since be3cause come the evening i want to pick, have no calories and still pick. So from tomorrow i am back to sw. Wish me luck xx

Just got the password so managed to look. They are only 4 1/2 syns each so will syn them as i stocked up because i was cc. Thanks

Hi can anyone tell me what special k bars i can use as a B choice? I cant get hoild of my consultant to get the password to check. Thanks

Hi welcome I have been cc for a week now, losing 3lb first week. Im 28 weeks pregnant so having between 1500 and 2000 cals a day, but still struggle with that. I had a massive mini egg craving today, the bag was 410 cals, so i resisted and had a twirl for 230. Good luck!

Hi same here, was doing slimming world, then last monday started calories and lost 3lbs by wednesday!!! Good luck xx

I have smoothies, but dont use more fruit thenb i would normally eat in a day. My thinking is it will get broken down when i eat it. I also only have 10 syns, so if it is a couple i can go up to 15. Hopr that helps

Good luck and welcome!!!!

Welcome and good luck, this site is fab for advice x

Im 26 weeks and joined class last wednesday. As far as i know they still weigh you and you can strill lose weight. The diet does not change though. I have read of people sticking to sw throughout pregnancy and at the end of pregnancy they weigh less then the start, so im very optomistic. Hope...

Hi and welcome. I too am pregnant 26 weeks today and started sw last wednesday. How far gone are you??

I only started sw on wednesday as i have already put on 2 stone, and being 3 stone overweight before falling pregnant thats really unhealthy. I will let you know how 1st weigh in goes. Good luck to you too x

I so cant wait to be weighed on Wednesday. I have been 100%even though i am 26 weeks pregnant tomorrow and im really hoping it will show on the scales. :D

I had my 25 week midwife check today and she is sending me to be checked for diabities because i have already put on 2 stone. I started slimming world on wednesday luckily so i am monitoring it myself, but want to ask you all for the support and encouragement to stick to plan. Thanks guys xxx

Hi congrats on the girl, we didnt find out, going to have the surprise. I jpoined my class tonight, and have now put on 2stone, so if i put on 1lb a week till baby comes that will be 3 stone, which im ok with, its better than the 5 i thought it would be lol. So getting back on plan tomorrow...

Thanks. I joined jan 1st, but dont start at club till wednesday, so did first weigh in at home for first week and stayed the same which i am estatic about lol. You will get there. I follow ee, and love it, as i can have shep pie, like i had for dinner tonight, with lots of mash and lots of...

Hi i will certainly join you. I am so happy to have found this site, its the best. Well done on joining again, this must be my 6th time, but this time im 25 weeks pregnant and need to make changes. Good luck x

Hi im 25 weeks pregnant and decided to get back on sw as i have already put on 2stone, and i was 3 stone overweight before falling pregnant. I join my class on wednesday, but have already spoken to my consultant. She said no extra healthy extras, but i am going to do EE, and have 2 a's. Hope...

sounds good. Im 25 weeks pregnant so not looking for big losses but not looking for big gains either!

Well done thats great, keep up the motivation!!!

The only place to get them online is Ebay but they can be a bit pricier, or sometimes you can get a good bargain.

Hi good luck, i too start at club on wednesdy and cant wait!!

What do i need to do to achieve my bronze??? I dont have the book anymore so not sure. Thanks

lol, maybe swap when the baby is waking me up early on a saturday or sunday morning.

Well first week and i stayed the same!!:p Im so pleased because im 25 weeks pregnant so was expecting to at least put on 1lb. Im now so motivated for this week, when yesterday i lost motivation. Go Me :D

What a great idea. Im going to find me one for my xmas dress goal. Fantastic idea!!!

You could try Ebay they have slimming world products on there x

The wine would be my first choice but being pregnant thats out. 4 finger kit kat sounds good as it would last quite a while too.

MMM im liking the chocolate ideas, especially minstrells as i love these. Thanks guys

I have decided to have 10 syns a day, but on one really nice thing. So what are your favourite things to spend 10 syns on?

Thanks girls. The consultant is the consultant me and my mum have had about 4 times we have joined!!! And she is fantastic, but me and my mum had to leave due to my work, but now my hours have changed so will be able to go.

Right, next wednesday im joining a class. Because of being pregnant i keep telling myself that i wont lose any weight, so keep picking at rubbish.:( So i figure going to group may just give me the motivation i need, because at the moment i weigh myself too x

Hi im from Eastbourne, East sussex. Snow seems to be getting heavier today, so work have said that i can work from home instead of risking the driving!! Yay. Finding it hard to stick to SW keep picking at chocolate, but have decided instead of eating all junk, im going to eat SW food best i...

If anyone is interested i have seen it before and its great, its with Dawn Porter x:p

Thanks for your encouraging replies. I am 24 weeks. I think that rather than going mad and blowing it, i will stick to plan best i can with meals and snacks, but should i need extra syns some days im going to have some x

I was doing so well, started friday, but today i am really struggling. I keep telling myself "oh, it doesnt matter if i eat that cause when my mum weighs me friday she will think my gain is baby weight", so not the right attitude to have.:( Please help, as i really need to stick to plan.

I totally agree about logging onto this site!! Whenever i feel like wavering i go on here and read through the posts, past and present and it really is a great motivator!!!! Good luck x

Been looking through the food diaries and decided i will add mine each day. Please feel free to comment as this will help me where i may be going wrong. Today is EE hence the orange.x Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Homemade chilli, with extra lean mince, peppers, ww sauce (4.5 syns) and rice...

How about jacket pot and beans. I love having this for lunch cause its so filling and no measuring out the beans. Mmmmmm

Good luck to you both, it helps having a buddy to follow plan with!

Where are you from Em? I started friday, and was really good untill today, when the maltesers at work started calling me!!! AGGGHHH, but, im still staying on plan, im not going to blow a whole day for a few maltesers! Are you weighing at home, when is your weigh day? Mine is friday so hoping i...

Put it behind you, and CHUCK THEM AWAY lol. Though its hard to do that if you dont live alone x

Thanks for your replies! Im not a group member so unfortunatly dont have access to the website. Maybe ill just stick to the alpen as you can have 2 of those, and i do like to get the most out of my food! :crazy:

I know, and i just enjoyed a big bowl of frozen fruit with yoghurt, was lovely, and i still have my B choice for puffed wheat to have later, and 2 scan bran!!! Wicked lol

Other than the slimming world hi-fi bars and alpen lights, are there any other cheaper cereal bars that are a B choice? Thanks

Thanks everyone, it feels much better knowing i have so much support on here!!!

Well today was my first day, and i had a lovely roast dinner. My roasties were cooked in spray light not goose fat, and i had melon for pudding instead of chocolate gateau!!! My first goal is to try and lose 7lbs before my baby is due, 26th April. I know this is possible if i stick to SW as i...
