Hi all, I am about 6 weeks now and really struggling with sticking to plan. I feel sick pretty much 24/7 and I am so tired. It doesn't help that hula hoops really help the nausea. I'm still trying to have sw meals and am probably about 95% successful, it's just the snacking in between that's...

Well 2 weeks ago I gained 1.5lbs for no good reason and last week I gained 2.5lbs which I deserved (and really enjoyed). Fingers crossed I have a loss tonight. On the other hand I found out on Monday that I am pregnant! I really believe that trying to lose weight is one of the best things...

I have a toffee cornetto (tesco own) pretty much every day for 8.5 syns. Some days that's all my syns. Other than that it's things like english mustard, salad cream, hot chocolate, ginger biscuits

I do mainly green with a few EE days, but never do red days.

Went to WI last night and I gained 1.5lbs. I'm not too upset about it as the last couple of weeks I have lost and I didn't expect to, so shall wait and see what this week brings. I just about managed to keep a food diary, and made a meal plan so have achieved my goals for this week. I am...

I'm also 5'8'' and noticed that we have the same starting weight. I haven't set target yet, although I am aiming for around 11st as that puts me in the healthy bmi range. However I do set myself other targets. Two weeks ago I reached my interim target of my pre-pregnancy weight. My next...

So the last few weeks have been tough - After 8 years of studying I had my final two open university exams last week (yes both on the same day!), so I have been pretty busy revising. Sadly I also miscarried on exam day and then had my friend's dad's funeral the following day. As a result I've...

Hi, I've got underactive thyroid - I'm on 125mcg thyroxine daily. I've lost 4st 4lbs in just over a year on SW. I do mainly green days with maybe 1 or 2 EE days each week.

Hi girls, I'm afraid I shall be leaving you again as I miscarried this week. All the best in your pregnancies and I hope to be joining you again soon.

Hi everyone, I have just found out that I am pregnant with no.3. (My two will be 5 and 23 months when this one arrives) I failed to stick to plan last time and ended up gaining over 4stone (after giving birth) and I am now only 1.5lbs heavier than when I found out I was pregnant last time. I...

I used to drink loads of diet coke as well - at least a 2l bottle a day (I used to take it to bed as well), and I gave up a couple of weeks ago. I still choose diet coke if I'm buying a drink when I'm out, but I don't have it at home any more. The first couple of days were a bit difficult, but...

I would like to get my 5st award - so 15lbs off

I did a reading at a friend's wedding the other week and one of her relatives told me that they didn't recognise me at first because i'd lost so much weight :)

Hi, I have PCOS and underactive thyroid.

Hi, I have two kids a 4yr old girl and a 14 month old boy. I lost 4st after having my daughter but put it all back on again during my pregnancy. I rejoined SW in Aug 09 and have lost 3st13lbs so far (it was 4st 1lb but I gained a bit over the summer). I am hoping to have my 5st award by...

Co-op is selling 3 punnets of cherries for £5 at the moment, I find them great for picking and have been getting through a punnet each evening. (It helps to have a cup or similar on hand for the stalks and stones)

I lost 1.5lbs this week and got my 4st sticker! :o)

2.5lbs off for me this week :0)

I've lost 3st 11lbs in 10 months

I have recently become a fan and am eating scan bran with fat free pineapple cottage cheese as I read this. I like ryvita as well, but I definitely find the scan bran more filling.

2lbs off for me this week :)

Hi I am breastfeeding at the moment (although am down to just one feed a day now). Make sure you tell your consultant that you are breastfeeding and they sould give you a booklet about following the plan when pregnant/breastfeeding as you are allowed extra healthy extras on top - the number...

I don't do anything differently on WI day, except eat my tea when I get home rather than usual time.

1lb off for me this week.

They are both lovely but the brown is my favourite too. I'm also off to a wedding in september and am hoping to be a stone or two lighter by then. I'm definitely going to go dress shoping in debenhams now!

Diet coke all the way (either regular diet or caffeine free depending on whether I am pregnant/breastfeeding). In my teens I was a regular coke addict, but changed to diet when I was about 19 and now I can't stand the sugary version, it's much too sweet and I can feel the sugar coating my teeth...

Well done on all the loses girls. I've had a 2.5lb gain this week, but I am happy with that. I was at my best friend's hen weekend this weekend and was completely off plan, I'd allowed myself a 7lb gain so am very pleased with a 2.5lb one, especially as I'm still lighter than I was 2 weeks ago.

I made the rogan josh from the slimming world curry recipe book last week and it was delish - the recipe is for lamb, but you could substitute any meat in it (I made it with quorn pieces as that's all I had in the house). It's free on Red and EE (and on green if you use quorn instead of meat)

Thanks nellis, I was really pleased - not sure what I've done differently but my losses had really slowed down recently so it was a nice boost.

Well done everyone. 4lb loss for me this week :)

I agree with what everyone else has said, but would add digital kitchen scales - healthy extras and syns always seem to be in odd amounts and I find it much easier to get the amounts right with digital scales.

Thanks for the suggestion. I used to get the reduced fat cheese, but I prefer the full fat version. I always found that the reduced fat didn't melt as nicely. I get strong cheese so the flavour goes a long way. Also I don't like milk (I have less on my cereal than most people have in their...

Oh yes, definitely having dinner as well (Have edited to add). Had my weigh in tonight and have gained 1lb which is annoying as I can't see a real reason why, but I'm not going to dwell on it, just move on and hopefully have a good loss next week

Hi, I've been back at SW this time since the end of August when my son was 5 weeks old, I had continued going to group for about half my pregnancy but stopped going as I was paying, weighing and staying, but I wasn't following the plan at all in between. I had started my pregnancy with the best...
