Does this work or is it just a pyramid scheme? I have tried a trial in the past but the supplier was a bit full on and I never went back. I'm tempted to try again but has anyone stuck with it long term and lost a lot?

do you get the 49 weekly points with simple start?

how'd you get on this week?

honey that is amazing, well done i'm proud of you xx

Glad you're doing well, i'm still in my little hole of darkness although just in a new house :)

Hows it going lovely?

Good luck hunni, I'm sure you'll do great. I've off the slimming world wagon too and was thinking about slim n save but I dunno, xx

I was wondering about fast days, do you just have 1 500 cal meal during the day or space you calories out throughout the day? Does anyone use vlcd shakes of fast days?

Don't worry chicken you'll be ok on slimming world, you've done amazingly well and just think how bad you might be now if you hadn't lost so much on the shakes. Might take a few weeks for your body to get used to food again and show gains even sticking 100% but don't worry it's not real weight...

Hey hun, sending you ketosis vibes. At least you enjoyed your days off and you learnt somethings, keep at it sweetie you're doing amazing xx

Hey lovely, You are my inspiration and I started again today with you in mind! Have you been taking photos of your progress? bet 5 stone makes a big difference x PR hey my lovely, how are you? hope you had a lovely festive season. I've been wallowing away in diet hell, not getting anywhere...

you're so amazing well done lovely x

Might give it a week to reduce the carbs before I get totally on it or I might do the 3 shakes and a dinner, not to sure really feeling a bit daunted by it! Has hubbs started yet?

I'm joining you love, well restarting. I need to do it xx

I fell off the wagon :(

The cold is cos your in ketosis so really it's a good thing!! I can relate to the dad thing not seen or spoken to mine in 10yrs, no great loss to me I'm lucky to have an amazing step daddy! Anyway hope your afternoon goes well xx

I made it to day 4!!! I've had a headache for 2 days but that's been it really, unless tomorrow brings something grim I think I should be ok. Being able to have the ribena and coke zero has really helped me in the evenings although I don't feel I need it (i've not had any today) and I didn't...

I can't watch cooking shows at the moment :( they make me hungry!!! How you feeling now?

made it through day 3 - Just!!! I've been so hungry and grouchy but I've stuck to it hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

How you doing lovely?

Hey lovey, Yeah today had gone really well, bit headachey but nothing to major, just having my last shake now because I forgot about it so not feeling very hungry. I think it helps being able to have some coke and being able to have ribena plus is amazing, I love ribena. How are you doing? still...

Well done that's fab x

Thanks lovey, I'm just so fed up with being miserable. I'm not confident I can do this for a long time but maybe long enough just to lose a few stone! x

Thanks Hun I'll have to dig out my smoothie maker!! Day one has been pretty damn good! Just enjoying my coke zero and have ordered my ribena plus and fizzy water which will arrive tomorrow! I don't like the bars, tried 2 and they were grim!! I need to take some measurements really but will do...

Thanks lovely, still on it so doing better than last time, getting hungry though! And internees down so bored!!!!!

haha we must have posted at the same time!!!! Bet you've lost inches though x

I did attempt to start a few weeks ago but I didn't make it past day 1, I had the worst headache imaginable which I know now was probably caffine withdrawal. I've been inspired by my lovely friend who's kicking butt on cambridge. I'm enjoying the shakes more today which is probably because I'm...

I bet you still have a cracking loss and if you don't because of ttm it will show next week :) You've completely inspired me to give my shakes another go,I've started today and so far I'm doing ok. Good luck with weigh in xxx

Is it your weigh day today? If so good luck xx

not sure you are going to want to hear this but I had the implant for about 18months, after the first 2 months I was 'on' pretty much constantly! The doctors kept telling me it would settle down but mine never did and my periods haven't been regular since. But was always under the impression...

WOWWEEE well done hun :D Your doing so well x

How you doing today chick? Can I ask did you have to get your dr to sign something?

whoop go you x

How'd you do?

Your doing Ab Fab, let us know how weigh in goes!! xxx

Double post

How's today going lovely?

I've tried the other flavours and bars and I really can't say I liked any of them, hubby is not happy about me staying on them and wants us both to go back to slimming world but Shrinkingalice is right, my heads really not in it.

Ow I wish I had your determination, it defo helps if you like the packs though!!! I'm not loving the slim and save ones so far, they taste a lot weaker then I remember the Cambridge ones. Well done chica you're doing great xx

Epic Fail - I didn't last the day :( forgot how hard it was,

Thanks lovely, just had my first shake which wasn't great but I drank it. Bit dissapointed because mint choc was my fav cambridge one but not suprised as I was warned they don't taste the same. I weighed in this morning and I am at my heaviest I've ever been 23 stone and 8.5lbs i think, it also...

thanks lovelies. I've decided to start tomorrow, know point putting it off really and the sooner I start the sooner the first few days are done and my courses start today so I'll have plenty to keep me busy.

variety is probably a good thing, I'm so fussy I've only ordered choc, vanilla and a few caramel. Might get brave and try a few fruity ones but I doubt it. :)

How you finding it? my fav was mint chocolate but I only used to have that one and I got a bit sick of it. x

Good luck with the diet x x

I think that would put me in the 18's, don't think I've seen them in about a decade.

I decided to start a new diary for a new start. My parcel just arrived and I have to say so far I'm pretty damn impressed with slim and save as a company. I have just text my husband telling him I may need to raid my mother in laws house (they're on hollibobs) for a tape measure, lo and behold...

good luck hunni, xxx

Well just over 12 weeks left of 2013- How much weight could someone lose in that amount of time? I'm about 23stone at the moment so I imagine I'll have a fairly big amount coming off each week in the beginning. But if i'm 100% between now and then you think I'd be able to lose 3 or 4 stone?

I decided to do what you did and just order a weeks worth, can't complain at there speed it was despatched about 45mins after I ordered it.

I did look at the taster pack but I don't like soup and I prob wouldn't eat any of the meals - I'm majorly fussy :D I never like the bars at cambridge I found the chocolate chemically, are the s&s bars nice? Maybe I'll just buy a few tasters see which ones I like, an extra few days won't make...

Hi Sammy, thanks for your reply and thanks for the tip about coke, might get a fruity one as I do like squash. As for target I have no idea really, I've never been 'thin' so I don't really know where I'm aiming for, I'd just like to be able to go into a normal sized person shop and pick up...

Hey Thought I'd say hi, I'm fairly certain that I want to try s&s but I guess I just need a little encouragement. Last year I managed cambridge for about a month and lost 18lbs but I came off for a weekend and never got back on it. Up until last month I'd lost about a stone on slimming world...

Hey Bestie, just popping in to show my face, hope your ok xx

Guess who trunddled her behind back to slimming world group today! Its a new lady and she is really nice but in a hardarse kinda way so hopefully I can stick at it this time around x

Thanks hun, they do some but not upto my substantial size, I've managed to find a hooding and some 3/4length bottoms on a catalogue, hopefully that should get me going

Any idea where I can get some plus size cycling/running gear - you no the thermal high viz vests and the like. Cheers

I've jumped ship and diaries http://www.minimins.com/silver-members-diary/286654-nickis-new-start.html

Are you using myfitnesspal to track cals? I used it before and found it really good. My friend has lost about 3 stone on it so far.

Ummmm getting a bit effed off with it all to be honest, not the dieting so to speak just the having to convert everything in to points. I'm thinking about just calorie counting, I no i said about not changing but well you no what i'm like. How are you? have you started slimming world yet?

discountcycleshop.co.uk, ordered it yesterday, dispatched this morning, should be here tomorrow.

yeah I bet, good motivation shes such a little cutie, good motivation, you'll be at target in no time at all. xx

Amy you're back! I keep meaning to say that I get broody everytime you post a picture on facebook and shes always in the most adorable outfits. How is mummyhood? Are you feeling better pr?

Thanks hun x Hmmm pretty pants to be honest, hubby is at work so i've been on my own, Puppy won't stop whining which isn't usually a major problem but yesterday I managed to whack my head on the door frame and daze myself so I still have a cracking headache. Diets going ok though and I bought...

I've been thinking about it for a while and I found a bargain of a bike so I decided to order it. This wouldn't be such a big deal for most people but I am not most people, I am a 23st women with chronic asthma who can barely walk up the stairs without keeling over. My plan is to cycle around...

Thank You xxx

well done on your 3.5lbs off, thats fab

How you getting on Linda? x

I've lost 10lbs :D so i'm well chuffed, lets hope I can keep this up.

first week on propoints and its been a bit rocky at times but I've lost 10lbs :D so i'm well chuffed

Yeah not to bad, I went back today and It was hard trying to get back into the routine but the day went pretty quick thankfully. I'm thinking about either joining the gym or getting a push bike, I like the push bike idea because I could practice at night so no one would see me and when I can...

Hey lovely I was just going to message you. Hows your new year going? .

I wasn't going to start another diary, I have several abandoned diaries littering all over minis and I do hav but I do like a place where I can witter to myself when I'm bored or hungry. I realised around christmas that I have been on one diet or another since I was 12, I should mention I...

Well bonus on weigh in not being as bad. I didn't weigh today only because my weigh ins for online are Fridays so I may as well wait for then. Today is the first day pointing and I'm finding it hard, now that i'm on a plan my brain wants to binge. Hope everyones having a good new years day xx

I am the grand old age of 27 although I feel about 77 and, I realised with some shock, I've been attempting to diet for over half of my life. That is a sad fact! I'm sorry about your baby Kate , I myself have gone through very early loses but I can't imagine how devestating that must be. Well...

Sounds like a daft question but will exercise make you lose quicker? I've seen some people have started exercising and there weightloss has slowed or stopped.

Hello ladies, happy Christmas, hope you all had a lovely time. I am leaving again, not minis just slimming world. I've taken a lot of time to think about thinks and I need to start a lifestyle change not a diet and I need one that will accommodate my life and I don't feel sw is right for me...

I'm the same L.i.n.d.a, an emotional overeater with 10 stone + to lose, to be in a healthy bmi range I need to lose 14 stone but i'm trying not to dwell on that number too much. I've also done sw and ww (and cambridge and cc and atkins and everyother diet under the sun) but I came back to ww as...

Your not wrong about the healthy eating, i've tried everything to get over my antivegness but every one i try makes me physically gag,

Thanks for that it makes a bit more sense now and confirmed that I don't think its a 'doable' plan for me, I don't like enough fruit and veg

She's done fab, do you no what the plan actually is? I've read a bit online and seen you can't eat fat with carbs but thats about all I no, I've found a recipe for a cheese sauce with double cream and full fat philly but thats where i got confused as that doesn't seem very healthy to me

I've been reading a few posts and 'think' I've just about worked out a plan but I just wanted to check if this would work. So down days I wasn't planning on eating just having tea and squash, I don't eat veg other than sweetcorn and cucumber so its probably easier for me just to not have food...

Confession time - 1- I didn't go to weigh in 2- I haven't started the diet 3 - i'm not organised enough to begin it any time soon Its just been a rough week and i haven't got into the swing of things, I had a few good days and then things went wrong. I'm struggling with EE, i'm struggling...

hmmm not so good - in fact completely off the wagon. Going out tonight with a friend so not going to worry about it, i'll get weighed tomorrow and start a fresh. # I feel very odd at the moment can't explain it other than feeling very odd.

Hey love, I love my fitbit - I have the pink one but there are newer cheaper ones out now i think. I clip mine to my bra and its alot more accurate than the ones I wear on my waist and it doesn't dig in. I fell off the wagon yesterday, I was so hungry and I had nothing ready for tea so ended...

Good Morning, I've been sat at my desk eating porridge catching up with the world of minis but thought I should say Hi, diet is going well (well for me) I'm trying not to worry to much about the 1/3 fruit and veg per meal and thinking about days instead. Went over by 1/2 syn last night...

I can't quiet believe its been almost a year since I posted in this diary but as I've managed to get Dawnie back on minis I thought I should follow. I've been on a vlcd for almost a month and lost almost a stone and a half but since coming off the shakes i've been ravenous and have put most...

FINALLY - Minimins just wasn't the same without you bestie.

I'm not in pain anymore thankfully but I haven't picked up the kettlebell again, up until today it was because its been too hot but today I was just being miserable and wanted to do nothing but lay on the sofa in the dark, probably should have done it to be honest. What DVD do I start with on...

I couldn't do it tonight it just hurt to much, will try again tomorrow. On the plus side it obviously works if i'm in this much pain from 1 10 min workout

I'll have to see how they are tomorrow, I was showing hubby the swing and oh boy did that hurt!

LOL, I'm worse today Its my theighs they hurt so bad. Am i supposed to fight the pain and continue tomorrow or leave it until the pain goes away?

Thanks Hun, its been getting worse, I can barely walk now my muscles are screaming. Oh the pain!

I think they may well be. :D I have just completed my first workout - The kettleworx 10 min fat burner and oh.my.god i'm already suffering jelly legs, shakey arms and i'm exhausted! I couldn't do some of the lunge type moves so I did lifts instead. I'm going to keep doing the 10 min dvds before...

What recipe do you use for the coleslaw? it looks lovely x

:hug99: miss you xxx

It did sound to good to by true! I'm going to buy a few samples, the hazelnut sounds nice. On cambridge I lived on choc mint and plain choc and the occasional vanilla if I was feeling adventurous! I read on the s&s site you can have peppermint tea, I could try and make the choc shake with cold...

what would knock you out of ketosis? I only like chocolate and not sure I could manage on just 1 flavour.

I was wondering if anyone had tried these with their shakes Syrups | Low Carb Megastore The ones i've looked at have no cals, no carbs, no sugar, no fat so should affect ketosis I really want to get back on a vlcd but i don't want to have to go back to the doctor to get forms signed and I...

I no today is going to be super hard but just wanted to let you know i'm thinking of you and sending you lots of bestie (and alfie, bella and maisie) loves and hugs

I'm all for burying feelings, sometimes its just the only way. I can't listen to Eva Cassidy and that was almost 10 years ago, in fact just thinking about it sets me off. Anywho knowing you the little bit you've gained will be gone by summer :D

Hey bestie, I rejoined Wednesday so I need you to be going strong so you can drag me along! Can't believe it's been a year, Huggles x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hey bestie, how's it going? x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm in need of some friends on fitbit, anyone want to add me. I'll make you look good as i'm off for 2 weeks and being lazy :D Fitbit Profile

I had a salad of ham, cucumber and coleslaw and a couple of cheese strings. Its my first real day of calorie counting and actually I'm doing well for me, don't usually last long this far into the day. still got over a 1000cals for tea, thinking of making roast chicken!

not sure on the cals but I do a whole chicken in mine, just put in on a few balls of foil and leave all day and it comes out lush and juicy(apart from the soggy skin but thats a good thing cals wise)

Well done bestie - 6 stones woooooooooooooooooooow! I've been looking at getting one of those vibration thingies at home, prob not as powerful as that one though x

have a good day bestie (oh did you like the drawing bella sent you on drae something? :rolleyes: Little sod!

Hey Bestie, Loved the Suki pics of fb, Hubbs is a tad worried about what he's let himself in for considering the 2 other 'monsters' we currently have. 2lbs is nothing, knowing you it'll be gone by next week and then some xxx

I'm in the silver diary section and you can see pictures of your new nephew and maybe Suki's boyfriend :D

Congrats Cap, I hope its everything you've dreamed it will be and more. Welcome to the world baby Charlie. xx

not sure I have enough time to catch up with the last 3 months of the most popular diary on minis but just wanted to let you know that i'm back bestie xx

No probs, I've had it years, couldn't even tell you where I got it.

Question: For a week I've not been hungry, not thought about food all and today I've had breakfast and lunch and i'm FAMISHED! On the plus side Dot is going to the Doctors tomorrow, so i'll be back on the road soon hopefully.

Not sure if its exactly what you want but it does have a few different graphs and tracks measurements, weight, ect

Good afternoon minis, Officially started the diet today with a fruit salad for breakfast, not decided what to have to lunch or tea yet or even what day i'm doing so as organised as ever, got plenty in the fridge although I forgot EGGS :mad: could well go for an omelette, hmmmm. I...

ooo thanks for the link, I ended up getting this fridge magnet Clicky

Hey Honey, Sorry must have posted at the same time. I did get the new starter pack and to be honest I wouldn't pay that much for one, the weights have changed by 2gs in most cases. The workout did come to mind, not sure how i'll get on because I don't really no where to start but found a few...

Good Afternoon, Still recovering from the scales (shocked me how much its shaken me already because I was so confident) Anyway i'm getting over it, today hasn't gone great in all honesty, we were going shopping first thing so I could start today but a hammering at the door this morning killed...

I weigh 5lbs more then my last start weight, 22st 5lb 313lbs Good feeling gone :hide:

I'm at group (thank god for the minimums app) I was dead early so this is my excuse not to talk to people :) I'm a bit nervous

Hmmm got to say its only the 2nd day of the year and its already a million times better then last, won't say too much on a public forum but a new year heart to heart has certainly changed things around:love: Mother in law isn't coming tonight, can't say I'm upset I was more nervous about going...

I am ridiculously excited about a new Morrisons Mega supermarket that opened today but because I think I've only shopped there once (and the lack of an online shop) I have no idea what great sw friendly food they have. Does anyone have any regular morrisons staples they couldn't diet without?

Hey Bestie, Pfff 9lbs is nothing, you'll be shot of that by the end of Jan! But yes I am doing slimming world again, going tonight to get all the new books and what not and then I'll be start a fresh tomorrow. It kind of dawned on me that It doesn't really matter what diet I chose, I'm going to...

Happy New Year Minis, hope you all had a good night. I'd like to tell you about my amazing night but honestly I was in bed :rotflmao: We went over to the in laws earlier in the night for a takeaway but we were back home by 10pm and was in bed by 11pm (the joys of living opposite them) but made...

Can I join? I'm starting tomorrow and I've not stuck to a diet in a couple of months so hoping my first couple of weeks will have some good results Bostik: 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go) Donzy84: 7lbs (s down, 7lbs to go) Carolineg: 8lbs (0lbs down, 8lbs to go) Alex: 6lbs (0lbs down, 6lbs to go)...

I certainly hope so, don't think I could handle a repeat of this year, its been epic, lol! I just posted in your diary :D It felt longer then a week, felt like months, lol. When is your phone coming? mine is supposed to be delivered on Friday, a nice shiny white one. My friend got hers...

Hello my lovely, How are things diet wise? i see on facebook you had a great christmas :D Not long till the wedding, bet you're getting uber excited now xxxx

Wow your diary moves quickly, no idea whats going on but just wanted to say HEY BESTIE :wavey: Promise to try and keep up in the new year

Heeeeello, I'm Back, the internet is fixed and I am me again, well almost. So actually its been what? a week? nothing interesting has happened really. Christmas past uneventfully and Christmas dinner with the in laws was successful, if not a little stressful and since then we've done nothing...

Hey lovelies, Just a quickie as i'm at my in laws stealing there internet (ours in broken) Hope you all had a lovely christmas and will be back as soon as we're fixed xx

Where oh where to begin, well firstly I should apologise now for any random spelling mistakes, I'm on a tiny netbook and I just can't get used to its tiny features :cry:ho hum at least it works. So the news I did in fact end up getting a phonecall after i last posted, they invited me to an...

Didn't get to go in the end because hubby isn't feeling well and I was going to go on my own tonight but we've had gale force winds and stupidly heavy hail and didn't fancy going out of Dot in that. My laptop broke today :( luckily I have a netbook I can use until I can afford a new one (which...

Well i've not heard anything and as the interview is on Thursday I guess I wasn't good enough. So now I feel incredibly sad and deflated and rejected and mad at hubby for pushing me to apply :cry:

Dear Beloved Husband, I know that I hate my job and that it makes me ill, I know you hate that i've worked there for 3 years and am still on minimum wage and that I could do better. But please realise that this is the first place I managed to stay at after a breakdown where i didn't leave the...

Yep new job in a small office, not that I got an awful lot of choice in applying. Closing date for the job was 15 mins ago so now just have to sit and wait (and try not to get anxious :cry:) I no that It would do me good to get out of where I am but i already feeling so much pressure...

Got it, I didn't even no I had locked my account that much. I've changed it now so you should be able to add me x

Here is the only place I be totally honest, try not to be because I know I sound miserable about nothing most of the time but I guess that's just me! Well I didn't really use it that much anyway and he deserves a good christmas, he's had a rough year too and sometimes I do forget that. I...

I always feel like i'm not trying when I don't follow a plan, but maybe i'll just concentrate on exercise till after xmas

Had a lovely day with my friend, treated me like a princess had my nails done and are now all glittery and its chip proof so looks lovely (she hopes this will stop my biting them, started when I was off sick last and they're always really sore now) Had my eyebrows threaded and they are now a...

I lasted a week on vlcd but something happened and I needed to eat (a lot) :sigh: just wish I had some control of it

I've always binged but i don't think i have a disorder but i'm more then happy to be support x

Ever think its just not worth fighting anymore? sick of fighting myself mainly about food, weight, babies, myself, my moods, i'm just tired of it. My uncle put a video on facebook yesterday from when I was 10, a family bbq round my grans, I kept hiding from the camara even back then because I...

I'm off sick would you believe for a cold. OK so it is a little more in depth than that, at work our building is going through a refit and they were doing reception yesterday so we spent the day trying to avoid power tools, paint and ladders. At lunch yesterday I was going back in trying to...

Thought i should pop in and let you guys no i'm still alive (if anyone even reads this anymore :D) Nothing much to report, lost 3.5lbs which must be due to swimming because its certainly not the eating which in recent weeks/months has been getting more and more out of control like spending...

Thanks Hun, I hope I do to, just have to survive 1 more day at work and then I can relax. If he doesn't he'll be getting this ---> :asskick: I feel miserable but determined, which is an odd feeling I have to say, usually Its one or t'other. Maybe this is my time!

How you doing lovely? xx

Spoke to my slimming buddy and found out that she's not started yet either, so we've agreed tomorrow it the day. Dragged the man to asda to get some supplies so I have a good supply of mullers, cucumbers, banana, apples, pasta and potatoes, tomorrows work lunch will be ham and coleslaw pitta...

DO IT :D We can complain about sore muscles and aching legs together! Well had a few developments, I had a text from the husband saying we had an appointment with someone at the gym on Monday night, don't know if that is to join or just to have a look around but it's progress. Still not...

I can't do smilies on this but sending love and huggles bestie x x Sent from my iPod touch please forgive any random auto spells I may have missed!

Hey Hun, I have a routine which I try not to change even when I can't sleep. I go to bed with the TV on but try not to drink to close to bed because I'm up all night going to the loo. I seem to get a week of not being able to sleep and then It goes back to normal so fingers crossed in a few days...

:wave_cry: Still not back? Don't think I can manage another day without my bestie :cry:

Come on chica, you can do this, You can't go to slimfast, I've only just rejoined SW :D Only kidding, you have to do what you feel is right. You've had a bad couple of weeks but I think if you could get your mojo back you'd have some fab results on sw and its a lot more flexible then slimfast...

No sleep again! It's killing me Sent from my iPod touch please forgive any random auto spells I may have missed!

Hey Bestie, Know you've got lots going on and you're mega busy but just wanted to say :wavey: and :hug99:

*drives past kitty waving, pulls her back onto the wagon and ties her to it*

:hide: erm I'm swapping diets again! I have been to see my diet buddy and whilst having cuddles with her gorgeous son, she confessed to switching to sw as the weighing/measuring was a bit much with a newborn. I confessed I'd stopped ww because my scales broke, could have got some earlier but I...

Dear The gym, Why bother to have an email address if you just reply asking us to call in? I don't want to speak to you on the phone, that is why I emailed you. Yours Probably won't bother giving you my £40 a month

You're right, even after my pathetic excuse for a swim session I felt good, but I wanted to go again over the weekend and couldn't and It made me anxious,

Ok so I'm doing as I'm told and I'm trying to think of positives :) 5) I'm a stone lighter then 11 months ago. I was sorting my room out, which is a bit of a bomb site since I moved back in with Hubbs and I found a (massive) pile of various slimming literature and discovered that the first...

at sw group the leader always said you can buy normal mince and rinse of the fat and it can then by used as extra lean mince.

Thanks hun, doesn't look like they will be so hubby said he'll pick some cheap ones up for Argos on the way home, so either way will be back on track tomorrow!

I've written this week off, still waiting on my kitchen scales to arrive but I'm assured they should be here today and as its weigh day today, I shall restart tomorrow.

Thanks Ladies, I'm feeling better now i've had some sleep and not had any more sick incidents. Jackie I got you're pm but left my phone at work so will pick it up tomorrow and text you x

I've been on and off sw for years and I can lose about 2 stone on it but I find it is very rigid, i'd stuggle to go out to dinner and stay on plan so I wouldn't bother to try and end up off the plan for a month. This is my first real attempt at pro points and I really enjoyed it, I should say I...

Off work today, had a pretty bad weekend, was pretty stressful at work and i've been feeling low, had a bit of an attack last night, think I was so tired from not sleeping and the stress of work and christmas and prentending to be ok when i'm really not that ok, just got to me, I did sleep last...

Not been great, not sleeping again and feeling pretty down but i'll live, always do. How are you lovely? Hows the jewellery coming along?

Sometimes you hear a song that sums up everything in a perfect way, this is mine at the moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j4hg9VrYX4 Good times for a change See, the luck I've had Can make a good man Turn bad So please please please Let me, let me, let me Let me get what I want This...

Haha that was brave of you, although Charlie is an adorable name, Amelia is also a fav, If i let hubbs pick it would end up being something football related, like Arsene :eek: I always said I'd want to know just so i could plan colours and outfits :D but not tell anyone, so its a secret between...

:eek: 18weeks, wowwwee! Thats certainly a way to miss the anxiety of early pregs. Congrats hunni, i'm so happy for you! Are you going to find out the sex or let it be a surprise? Oh and super cute on the sleeping, If that happens to me, mine will be starfished in the middle of the womb...

What are you're gym/swim bag essentials? I'm going shopping tomorrow for new everything! What can't you be without?

hope everything is ok bestie x x x

got it from marisotta in the end, no idea what the back is like but the front seems high enough to not need cross straps,

Thanks hun, Cossie should be here tomorrow, so thinking another swim on sunday may be in order They really are, I usually hate slippers because they fall off or are uncomfy when I sit crossed leg (which is always) but these are lovely. Hey Lovey, how you all doing? The swim pass is £30 a...

I'm an online member but not heard anything and nothing has changed, maybe my points are staying the same

Yep Definitely going again, hubby really enjoyed it too and wants to go again, but at £4 a go each Its going to get expensive. I found a new costume too Not sure about the back but the front is high enough that it should be ok, does mean I can't wear my skort though because its black...

Erm I was always led to believe that exercise makes you tired? then why the heck am I still awake at 15.30? I've not been to sleep, don't feel sleeping. Gave up fidgeting in bed just before 3am, hubby has an early start and I don't want to keep waking him up! I'm currently chowing down on a...

I took xenical when I went to class, consultant knew and she never said anything, just wished me well, Sent from my iPod touch please forgive any random auto spells I may have missed!

Does anyone no where I can get plus size swimwear? other then catalogues i've looked on Marisotta and Simply be and they are all scoop back. I went swimming for the first time in 12 years today and It was hard swimming and trying to stop your boobs falling out, so think i'm in need of x back one.

Guess who went swimming? yep you guess it - hubby :rotflmao: I was there but I floated more then anything. Had a slight issue in that my boobies weren't as keen as the rest of me to stay in the costume :eek: Thankfully there was no flashing, but the lifeguard (who looked about 12) had a good...

This is my first real try at pro points, Usually I'm a slimming world girl but thinking this is the best plan for me long term. I've signed up online and teamed up with my cousin, so will be weighing with her on Tuesdays. I can guarantee the first few weeks will probably push the plan to its...

if you go to user cp at the top of the page, then select edit options from the list on the left, That's where you can adjust the settings for notifications, Lots of different options, I get instant notifications, i never miss a thing and sound popular if the volumes on :D

I'm guessing this is just a change to the points rather then how they're calculated, I wouldn't have thought they'd want to rebrand everything again.

Thanks Hun, I do sometimes forget that. Hey Lovely, how you getting on? x So I don't think I have any excuse now, just found my very expensive, never been used goggles and I mentioned to hubby I was thinking about going and now he wants to go, which I think means I can't back out. If I don't...

I missed the ladies only which was last night but there is a 2 hours adults only session tonight. If i can find some courage (and my goggles) I might try and go tonight. Could have a look at the gym too while i'm there, They have some good classes for beginners and If a do a class and 2 swimming...

Bless you, you are the loveliest lady. On minis on my phone at the mo but will google when i'm back on my laptop, We'll talk about it more when things have settled a bit, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I was talking to Kitty yesterday on facebook and said that I had just about figured out weightwatchers. When I've done it before I always struggled with how I can eat so much and lose weight, well this time something seems to have clicked. I discovered that 1 pp is equivalent to 40 cals so...

sounds promising then, its the ultimate collection and says it contains 1 x 5lb Kettlebell 1 x Introduction DVD 4 DVDs: Butt & hips, Arms & shoulders, Chest & Back, Legs & Thighs. 1 x Healthy Eating Guide ebook theres another set that is a little cheaper and on...

I'm really interested in kettlebells workout, i've found this http://www.idealworld.tv/KettleWorx_Ultimate_Body_Collection_177817.aspx?fh_location=//idealworld/en_GB/categories@lt;{idealworld_1002}/brand_iw@gt;{kettleworx} do you think this would be suitable for a beginner?

you don't need it!

Its since i've watched that stupid advert, I literally can not stop crying, although its no longer crying any more just a steady stream of tears. Is probably because i'm over tired too, hate hubbys bed, want my own room back :cry:

Can not stop crying, someone slap me!

Its a somewhat annoying fact that men tend to lose weight at a quicker rate and he is doing amazingly well but you're doing well too, just think not to long ago a gain would probably send you off the rails for a week or so but I think now you'll just dust yourself of and jump back on the wagon...

They used to send me to sleep but I tried to listen last night and his voice irritated me, think thats because I was already so tired and grouchy! Hubby said that he'll swap the mattresses over when he gets home and see if that helps. Think he's a little annoyed because thats the new expensive...

Dear Mr Postman, I no you don't care that I didn't get to sleep until 4am but was hammering on my front door at 7.30 and scaring the life out of me really necessary? I could have picked the package up tomorrow, it really wasn't that important. Oh and for your own safety if you EVER use...

Thanks bestie, it's nice having a plan and I'm glad to be starting something properly but I'm leaving my diary here (it's friendlier) Forgot to say earlier I weighed when I was at hers and I've gained 12lbs in a week, back up to 22st exactly, least it's a nice even number but it's like my body...

Yey you're back, but seriously now I'm laying in bed craving cinnabons, they seriously need to start selling them over here xxxx Sent from my iPod touch using MiniMins

I've decided I hate hubbys bed, I want my room back *sob* Sent from my iPod touch using MiniMins

Opps well if it makes you feel any better I put on 12lbs this week! See 4lbs not looking so bad now :) ________________________ There you go, the line under last week so you can start afresh tomorrow! No dwelling on it, you will prob lose that all next wi if you have 100% week! How'd andy do...

Thanks hun, Defo gone through quidco, might not get it though because i've signed up through them before, although i've used a different email, so we shall see!

Today has been hard, basically I have been trying not to cry since I watched that bloody advert. Spent a few hours with my cousin and her beautiful baby, omg he is devine, he has a full head of brown hair and is so long and he looks like a boy (i have 3 nieces and when they were babies you...

no worries about staying away, I can't stand cheeky vimtos! Good luck at weigh in, sure it won't be too bad

Adverts, especially christmas ones should not make you bawl like a baby John Lewis Christmas Advert 2011 - YouTube

You've taught me well x

:faint2: Were you drinking cream? lol. Fingers crossed its not too bad on the scales x

:copon: That is for the highlighted comment, :whoopass: That is for mid week weighing :hug99: That is because i feel a little guilty about the other 2. BUT if you gain so what, you had a couple of days of good food (good yummy, not good diet wise) ahead of days of worry and you no you can get it...

I can't sleep, you no when everything seems wrong pillows ate itchy, mattress is too hard, duvet is lumpy, can't breathe, nose in running and just don't feel tired :( hubby is tutting every time I move, moaning the tv is on! Wish I had my room back! Sent from my iPod touch using MiniMins

argos have a few tassimo on sale, I was looking at the nescafe ones and the pods are more expensive for that.

Another one for the club, I'm around 22stone (will find out exactly tomorrow) and need to get to 10stone. Daunting isn't even the word!

I've wanted a tassimo for ages, mainly because they do tea and hot chocolate too

Soup was rescued, really thickened when it went cold, Hubbs tried it when he got home and said it tasted like veg soup so I think I just don't like veg but at least I tried. There is no rescuing the bbq sauce though, think i'll stick the the ready made stuff and syn it! You should go for a nap...

Hahaha no I love it then its there fault, but this could explain why I need to do slimming world :D

So first night back with hubby was restless, the cat, obviously over excited that i was in the same room as her, kept climbing on me, woke up 3 times with her asleep over my legs. The husband, obviously missed me and kept trying to cuddle me, cute yes but not at 2am when i'm tired and trying to...

in one hell of a bad mood :(, hows you lovely?

it was mixed veg, so to be fair there wasn't much chance me loving it. Yeah it had balsamic in, about 4 tbsp, did seem alot but there was alot of sauce so went with it. Kind of hoping it will be better when cold but not holding out much hope, turned to leave the kitchen to see that the yellow...

soup is like water even though all the veg is blended, but just chucked a few more spuds in to cook to see if that helps (and it tastes ming) and the bbq just exploded out of the blender all over my hand (it was straight out the pan so stupidly hot) and that tastes like vingary tomato sauce...

soup and bbq sauce are disaster :(

Well hubby has gone out and i'm trying to distract myself from the call of Dominos pizza. Might go make sw bbq sause while i'm in the cooking mood! Aggghhhh i want pizza :cry:

Thanks lovely, Did you find the threads with the stickers in it for your sig? its in the off topic bit, i spotted it this morning xxx

Thanks hun, I love cross stitching and do a fair bit but this is the neatest thing i've ever done, every stitch goes the same way :o i wanted it to be perfect! I've found a little 7inch fan in Argos, they still have quite a few so hubby said he'd pick it up on his way back from work. Nice...

mmm i have all those ingredients for the lentil soup, will try that tomorrow (cooking day has been postponed) mainly because I can't be bothered to clean the kitchen first I'm not a big fan of spicy food, can just about cope with a Korma. I'm tempted today, she's doing my head in, she's got...

Does that mean she doesn't want people eating baked beans? Think its a bit counter productive telling people what not have, if they were that bad for you then slimming world would have found a way to syn them worse then they are. The whole point of slimming world is that you have the...

national express, £17 return from Portsmouth to Northampton, takes 7 hours but you're worth it! ;) been doing my research!

Not to sure yet, if my cousin wants to join i'll let her pick the class as she's the one with the newborn. If shes not to fussed about it i'll join Monday but that means going back to the class i used to around the corner which i didn't want to do but i really want to start. you no me...

I could come up for a trip! Although just looked where you are and thought it was closer (mainly because we live next to southampton) feels like those 2 should be closer :rotflmao:

So you give him your £10 to spend on fags and he strops? I'd be bolting the door behind him and not opening it again until he's grown up a little and apologised profusely for even thinking about raising a hand to you. But I no its never simple when it comes to our oh's, easy for us to take your...

Soo shopping is done, £36 later and I think I'm finally ready. I don't think i've ever had such a healthy shopping trolley and got enough food for over a week, Just waiting for mr tesco man with the odds and sods and tomorrow I'll sort out a menu plan. I really want to start tomorrow but I...

anyone tried it with schwartz bbq seasoning? defo going to have to have a go!

Ordered some today to go with the diet coke chicken, never had it before but thought i'd check the syns. Am i right in thinking it would be free, being rice? don't think there is anything added to it.

You should get some nice pretty ones from somewhere and award yourself them every 1/2 stone or i'll send you a digital one every 1/2stone!

hmm might have to give it a try, forgot to say well done for starting, i'm still in the planning on starting stage. I don't want to start before rejoining group because then i don't get a sticker (Sad but true :D)

I only ever put lentils in stew, never had a soup. Had an interesting conversation with my friend, explained the pain and she thinks it might be that i'm bloated and i'm only noticing it so much because i was on the shakes. I no people feel bloated all the time but I always said at my size I...

are they the jelly ones? if so I use the beef for stews! Also do you think maybe the pain could be drinking coke? like the fizzy?
