thank you all for the warm welcome. it was very hard on us, alexis was our first son. He looked perfect in everyway, and we now wait on postmortem results to see if they can find a reason. that won't be till around january tho! But we have had a funeral and his urn has come from america...

i was doing well on SW before and then i got pregnant, carried on with SW and was still doing well. then sadly we lost of baby. baby Alexis was born sleeping at 18 weeks 4 days on the 6th october. i didnt really feel much in for loosing weight, so for 8 weeks i have eaten junk! i re-joined a...

i think as long as most of your meals have your superfree, or if your not having it, you are filling up wih it as snacks instead of syns it will count. if i have a meal without my super frees i normally have a fruit (and sometimes yogurt)pudding

can i join in? i have another 5 stone to loose. can i set my mini goal at 3.5lbs (to give me my first stone off) i get weighed tonight (6.30), but had a bad week so i might have to up that later :p

we are, although my group was when i joined (4 weeks ago today lol) i think its all pretty fast, our C then can see everyones losses and gain on one screen which i guess makes it quicker when going round the room in IT?

im going at 6.30 to get weighed, had a terrible week :(, been ill and havent been planning. im expecting a gain tonight so just hoping its nothing too big!! i want to get my stone by the end of the month!

im just having a simple jacket pot with beans and salad tonight, OH is out and dont want to cook a big meal. in fact that reminds me, better put the oven on!!

that is what mine is, but im happy with it :) i think it helps to know how other people are doing. plus to give out slimmer of the week and we have a raffle too with the tea and coffee money lol

im in my 4th week so far, but i never had a call my first week and my group sounds similar to yours (my mom said hers is the same, we go to different groups) my C is always available if we want to contact him, and he said he does sounds out the odd text now and again, but havent had any so far...

large mix meat and chips with ALL the sauces chicken wrap and giant spicy burgers (chicken with hash brown) its all in kfc style too, although i had one yesterday as our last one, wasnt impressed and it upset my tummy so much this morning, i can def say NEVER again!! my homemade SW food is...

well i honestly thought i wouldnt have done well this week, but i lost 2.5lbs and got (a 3 way) slimmer of the week :D

well WI 2moz, not looking forward to it, i havent been 100% with it this week, i havent gone over my syns any day, but i havent eaten 1/3 super free at every meal, missed my HE's one day and missed my tea because of going to the cinema too! :( will post 2moz with the bad/good news lol

we havent been shopping since starting SW but we are spending 10-15 a day!!! ok some stuff is lasting longer (spices, and yogurts) but in 3 weeks we havent had a shop under 10! we never buy named brands, we dont really buy treats either. im worried about how the bank balance is going to look at...

i walk everywhere, just upped the intensity for now, and brought a dance mat game for the xbox 360, great fun and can really get your heart rate going lol

i have always been a bit of a yo-yo dieter. but after moving out of home both me and my boyfriend put on weight, (i put about 3stone on in 2 years) we tried for a baby and got pregnant straight away. after having her i lost all the extra pregnancy weight within about 6 weeks and felt great and...

i used to the same, just eat one huge meal late at night! and i would be so hungry i would scoff it all down and then be in pain from how much it was stretching my stomach. as others have said tho your pics arent all that bad hun, spesh after 2 kids :) goodluck xx

just got off the phone to my dad and told him about my weight loss so far, and he has said for every dress size i drop he will give me money to go buy myself new clothes :D what a great incentive :D

i was so nervous the first time, and more about finding out how much i weighed! just think that once its done it done and you can then start the journey towards a new you! good luck! xx

i havent long joined (wanna loose 5st 9lbs, so 5st1lbs to go!! lol) i have a terrible tummy from having my little girl, its very badly stretched so i know i will have a saggy wrinkly tummy as i loose the weight, but i think although i may never get my old tummy back,i know ill be happier being...

while i lived with my parents i was always dieting along with my mom and it always got me down :( since moving out and starting my own family im finding it much easier. i have been angry with my weight gain over the last few years, after having my daughter i lost loads (thanks to breastfeeding)...

before joining SW i used to buy jars of sauce to make tea or if that seemed like to much hard work we would order a takeaway (and i wondered how i was putting on weight!!) i never had breakfast and rarely had dinner, just filled up on a huge tea and chocolate! since joining i have realised that...

well to be honest, i didnt eat through out the day very often and used to just have a huge meal in the evening, but like take aways, i would eat chocolate if we had it in the house, but seeing such high syn values put me off!

im only on day two, but im finding it hard to use my syns yesterday i used 6 (drank tea, just so i could have the sugar to add a few syns) and today im only at 3 syns? should i buy biscuits and choc just so i can add more to my syns, or not? i know they say between 5-15 syns, but what if i...
