Haven’t had a chance to post for the last couple of days, but I just weighed in this morning and I lost 4.5lbs!! Really happy with that as I don’t have a lot to lose. We have just over 6 weeks until we fly to Spain to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, if I can lose another 5lbs by then I...

Hi Guys I’ve come back to SW (and Minimins) after 3 years of trying different ways of eating. I got married in June 2017 and felt amazing on the day, but recently have felt myself slipping into bad habits. My mum has terminal cancer and I find myself using that as a reason to eat rubbish (you...

:):)Half a pound off this week, was hoping for more, but it's still a loss. Thanks for your kind words Mini, everyone finally better :) Making up a big batch of speed soup, I really wanted to have my first stone off by the end of April so need to give myself a boost!xx

Weigh in today showed 0.75lb off, it's been a bit of a crappy week with 2 kids being ill so I'm happy with any loss! Hoping for 2lbs off next week x

Nearly died after doing 2 classes back to back at the gym yesterday, but it felt good knowing I got through them - I haven't done 2 classes together since I was pregnant, so it's probably been a year! Today's food: Brekkie: coffee x 2 (hex a milk), banana Lunch: eggy bread (hex b), bacon...

I know, it's so difficult when they are off and eating crisps and ice creams isn't it?!X

Morning diary I had a slightly excessive weekend - a few g&t's on Saturday and then roast dinner at MIL's yesterday (she drowns everything in oil) so back on plan today and aiming for 10 syns per day this week and 5 classes at the gym. Today's food: Brekkie: coffee x 2 (hex a milk), apple...

The alcohol would have made a massive difference, I always retain water when I have a few drinks and it takes a couple of days for the bloat to drop off. Instead of a low syn week just don't drink the night before weigh in! I would start afresh, use your syns every day, but if you are going to...

Weigh in this morning showed 3.25lb off :D

Yes I am! We are getting married at the end of May 2017. I have a diary in the food diaries section if you want to follow xx

Hi Corrin Welcome back! I have a little girl who is 8 months old and I'm here to lose the weight too. Actually, there are a few of us that have had babies in the last year on here. Good luck with your journey, I have a diary in the 'food diaries' section, let me know if you set one up and I...

Oh, and I meant to ask - what day do you weigh in? If it's a Monday then maybe change it as you are having a bread and sweet day over the weekend so possible bloat?xx

My losses are similar to yours, I have lost weight after both babies with SW and I always average 1lb per week. It's the same this time (after baby no 3), but I know it will all come off and 1lb per week is nearly 4stone in a year. Try and vary your food a bit more if you can, and drink as much...

Wow well done! Breastfeeding - almost like liposuction!! X

This morning I was woken up at the ungodly hour of 5.20am by Annabelle. That's the thing with babies, you think you have it cracked and then they totally move the goalposts:confused: Today will be fuelled by caffeine (no change there lol) Today's food: Brekkie: coffee x 2 (hex a milk), apple...

Half term is driving me up the wall now lol I'm so ready for the kids to go back to school! Today's food: Brekkie: coffee x 3 (hex a milk), apple, boiled egg Lunch: egg mayo salad (3syns), ryvitas (hex b), apple, 2 Aldi bubbly bars (5 syns), 1 mini Aldi Milky Way (3.5 syns), Muller light and a...

Thanks hun No greater motivator than having to fit into a tight dress and parade around in front of all your family and friends lol

Sounds like we have the same goal time-wise LTL. I'm aiming to be back to pre-pregnancy weight by the end of the year, and would like to lose maybe another 7lbs after that before our wedding next May. We have both done it before, so we know SW is the way forward :D

Has anyone seen the series Fat Chance? I watched it last night for the first time, the woman they were filming lost 82lbs in 3 months! I started looking at wedding stuff last night, no idea where to start with it all, I guess I really want to lose a bit more weight before I even start to...

Well done on your losses guys, it's so nice to have this forum for motivation again. I really missed it xx

I've changed my diary name so I'm reminded every time I log on that I have a wedding to get skinny for!x

Morning Everyone I weighed in this morning and I gained 1.25lbs whilst on holiday. I happy with that as I used to gain 7lbs on holiday, luckily we had an amazing BBQ area and had one most nights with lots of salad and corn on the cob :-) Today's food: Brekkie: coffee (hex a milk), Apple Mid...

Back from my holiday, and back on plan today. We had a fantastic time, and found a venue for our wedding :) So I now have 14 months until our big day, and the biggest reason ever to lose the weight!! I will weigh in tomorrow as usual and go from there. Today's food: Brekkie: coffee (milk hex...

So, I've had a nasty bout of food poisoning over the weekend - I had a chicken kebab on Saturday night (no pitta and no sauce, as SW friendly as possible) and all day yesterday i was either being sick or sat on the toilet:confused: Being a serial weigher I was happy to see I had lost a few...

Weigh in this morning shows 0.5lb off, which takes me to half a stone off so far! I haven't been able to get onto Minis this week as just been so busy, but will try and keep my diary updated before I go on holiday. Today's food: Brekkie: 2 x coffee (hex a milk), Apple, banana and yoghurt...

I still do red too, I keep a diary in the food diaries section. I never had good losses with EE, so just went back to red days and the weight is finally coming off xx

So, weigh in on Saturday was 1lb off, and as I said above, I've lost 15.5 inches since I started SW- so happy about this! My first goal was half a stone by the time I go on holiday, so I need a 0.5lb loss this week as we go next Wednesday. Today's food: Brekkie: coffee x 2 (hex a milk), apple...

Hi Cas, Sorry for the delayed reply, I was away over the weekend for OH's birthday. You are doing great! I did my measurements 4 weeks ago and have lost just over 6lbs, and a total of 15.5 inches - I was absolutely gobsmacked but it just goes to show that going to the gym is really helping me...

This week I have hit the exercise hard, my body aches, even sleeping hurts! We are going on holiday in 12 days and whilst we are out there we are meeting some wedding planners and looking at venues for next year, getting into a wedding dress is going to be my motivation to get back to a size...

I loved Minis before it 'died', such a shame they pulled the plug the way they did, but let's forget about that and get this place buzzing again!xx

Well I didn't want to state the obvious, but yes the 'red days' part of the title was a small clue! I was a veggie for 6 years, it all ended after a drunken night on holiday when I fell headfirst into a bucket of barbecued chicken!

I do red days, I've always done them! I know they work and so I'm sticking to them (but I don't go to class so I can get away with it ;-) ) I think SP is similar, but I'm of the 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it' mentality!x

Today's plan: Brekkie: coffee (hex a milk), Apple Mid morn: coffee (hex a milk), fruit Lunch: eggy bread (hex b bread) with bacon, spinach and mushrooms. Muller light, treat size crunchie (4 syns) Mid afternoon: ham, pickled onions, puft crisps (4 syns) Dinner: chicken, mash (hex b)...

Sam, that is absolute b0"""ocks!! I was lighter after dd2 than I was pre DD1 (after I had lost the baby weight). Slimming world will have it off you in no time!! I always put 4st on, and by 18 months post partum I'm back to my normal size!xx

I had a fab weekend in London watching the x-factor tour (it was dd1's Christmas present) Stuck to plan as much as possible so I'm hoping for a loss this week. Today's food (EE as need to go food shopping) Brekkie: coffee (hex a milk), apple Lunch: chicken, veg and noodles with sweet chilli...

It has come off at different rates with each of mine, it's definitely harder this time, but that's probably due to being 40 rather than anything else. I'm following old school red days as I don't lose doing EE xx

Crazy week this week. I'm on for a sts or small gain, but keepin at it. I've done an hour of body combat this morn, and I've had 10 syns so far.

Hiya, I'm an old member too! I have a baby girl born last August and I'm ready to get back to my pre-baby body now. How old is your little one?xx

Hi LucyLu! I don't think there is a post pregnancy thread, would be great to have one so we could all support each other whilst we lose the baby weight I take Annie to the gym with me and she goes into the crèche for an hour, only because I wouldn't have the motivation to do it at home! I do a...

Today's food so far: 2 x coffee with milk (hex a) Apple, yoghurt Packet of crab sticks, banana, another yoghurt, 2 choc rice cakes (8 syns) Planned for later: Mid afternoon: fruit salad Dinner: steak as per last night as had lamb yesterday instead. Exercise: 1 hour walk into town

So I didn't do too badly during half term, I didn't get to the gym at all as had the mother of all headaches by the end of the week. I gained half a pound at weigh in, but it is star week, and I have been so bloated all week. So, back to the gym today, and food as follows: Breakfast: Coffee (hex...

Here to follow :) I do mainly red days too. Haven't had a chance to post my food this week as its half term, but will try and post from tomorrow xx

Meeee!! I do mainly red days, with the odd EE day thrown in. I had my 3rd baby 6 months ago and I'm back on SW to get rid of the baby weight. I love red, it has helped me lose the weight after each baby, whereas EE just bloats me xx

Weigh in on Saturday showed 2.5lbs off!!! So pleased im finally back on the SW wagon and have my head in the right place to get this weight off. I managed to walk 4 miles yesterday and 3 today, struggling to get to the gym as its half term, but should be able to go Thursday and Friday which is...

So, I forgot to post yesterday's food - but I did stay on plan I had 15 syns and did an hours body combat at the gym, so hoping that helps towards weigh in tomorrow. Today's food (red day again) Morning- coffee (hex a milk) Mid morn - coffee (hex a milk), yoghurt, apple Lunch - bacon, eggy...

I turned 40 on Saturday, so I'm in the old mums club too!!! Yes I could never weigh in on a Monday, I like to weigh Saturday morning and then have a treat Saturday evening (for treat i mean gin lol), and then back on plan Sunday morning

What a surprise to find Minimins is back up and running!! I was devastated when it closed down 3 months before I was due to have my 3rd baby, after having kept to plan all through my pregnancy I used it as an excuse to eat without being accountable and piled on the weight So, here I am with a...

Thanks Jenn, I really do beat myself up about it, having been an obese teenager and then losing it all I struggle with the weight gain with each pregnancy. Still, 9 weeks and a few days until DDay!! So, all suitcases are packed for holiday, we are staying up at Bristol airport tonight as we...

Thanks Jenn - i've actually gained 2.5st!!!! It scares the life out of me as I haven't been pigging out all day long and have been working so hard at the gym, I just always seem to gain a lot when pregnant. Im just hoping that I don't put on over 4st like I did with each of my girls xx We are...

Had a lovely lunch yesterday with OH, will have to stick to plan for the next 3 days as we fly to Tenerife on Tuesday. Today will consist of washing, ironing and packing, along with a bit of gym time, might be going out with the girls for dinner later but that will be on plan so not worried...

Hi Daisy - no I daren't look at wedding dresses yet as everything would fit badly and I would just get upset! I'm going to wait until January, so far we have booked venue, registrar and I've just ordered flower girl dresses. Save the date cards are next! I would love to get as much sorted as...

Aww thanks ladies, it's great to have some support, I am so worried about looking good in a wedding dress next year!xx

Morning Ladies and Bumps!! Ive started my own diary to take me through the birth and out the other side to my wedding day - please can you pop on and support me when you have time - I will move to main diary thread after baby arrives. Thank you xx

So yesterday was a success! We didn't have the stroganoff for dinner as I forgot to put it in the slow cooker but I made a SW friendly pasta bake instead. Things are finally starting to come together at our house, the upstairs bathroom is nearly finished, OH has fitted new bannisters on the...

Right then ladies, I've decided to bite the bullet and start a diary to keep me on track for the last 10 weeks of my pregnany as this is when I gained most of the weight during my last 2 pregnancies. This weekend the scales have gone up by 2.5lbs, it's entirely my fault as I fell headfirst into...

Hi Hun and welcome!! Most of us here are due very soon but Doingitright is breastfeeding and doing SW abroad - have a read through her thread to get some inspo!! Are you going to post a food diary?x

Well done on the weight gain Jenn, I always gain loads in the last tri, and this time seems no different - I've got a fridge full of fruit and healthy stuff so I'm going to have to work hard to control the gain for the last 10 weeks x I love washing all the baby clothes for the first time, so...

If you click onto the pregnancy and breastfeeding thread you will find a couple on there x

Goodness me, it sounds like everyone is having a right old time of it! Peach, Im sure baby will turn, you have plenty of time left - I agree with spinning babies, its got loads of useful info. Also, get yourself down the swimming pool a couple of times a week as the weightlessness can help baby...

Daisy, try not to worry hun. There was a really old thread on doing SW with GD which I read up on when I had suspected GD. I think the GD diet is very similar to SW red days (but without allowing for sugary syns) you will be fine - you want the best for your baby, and if it means sticking to a...

Morning!! Jenn - how exciting you will be having your bubbs in just 5 weeks time!! Hope you get your induction date today x Ive had a bit of a crappy week - in the last 7 days OH fell off his mountain bike and broke his collarbone, we had a flood in the downstairs shower room and had to rip up...

Morning all Daisy - I am good, hope you are too? Hows it going sticking to plan? Im trying really hard but my weight is still going up too quickly for my liking!! OH has nearly finished painting the nursery - it would have been finished last week but he changed his mind on the colour so had to...

It depends on where you live, most midwifes start measuring at 28 weeks now but depends on local guidelines. They did baby's heartbeat, felt my tummy and booked in 28wk appt at mine - and mw talked about joining SW herself lol xx

Well done!!!!xxxx

My first was 10lb10, and my 2nd was 10lb0.5, both big girls!! They are both tall for their ages now, but not overweight. This one feels like a big, solid lump already, im wondering if it's a boy as my tummy feels like it's all baby. My blood sugar has always been fine but because of the size of...

Hi Daisy - good for you! Don't forget to have your super free with each meal xx ive just got back from midwife, baby is measuring large - I told her I knew this one going to be another big one and when she felt my tummy she said its feeling large for nearly 26 weeks. I've got my GTT next weds...

Well done hun - that's amazing!!xx

I'm feeling great! Did my spin class this morn but it was a killer - 800 calories died!! Normally it's around 500 for a 45 min class!! its funny because I keep thinking I want to be 30 weeks, but then I think how much stuff I have to buy and how much decorating we have to do before baby comes...

6lbs at 16 weeks is great hun, I always pack it on from 20 weeks. It's tough seeing the scale go up each week but it's part of being pregnant, as long as you keep fit and healthy it will come off afterwards xx

Chaos here today - will be so glad when plasterers have gone - can't get to the toilet or have a shower at the mo, just been to use neighbours toilet! food wise it's looking like this: brekkie: coffee and an apple 45 min spin class lunch: smoked salmon, Philadelphia (hexa), brown roll...

Hi There Im 23 weeks and have kept up my exercise regime of 2 or 3 spinning classes and 2 body pump classes per week. I was pretty close to target when I got pregnant so am expecting to gain 2 and a half stone which is absolutely fine with me as I gained 4.5st and 4st respectively with my girls...

Hi All Pregnant - I had the same at 7 weeks but wasn't offered any scans or follow ups unless I had further bleeding, I basically sat still for 2 days and it eased off, hope all is well for you. we had our 2nd anomaly scan today, still couldn't get the neck measurement and baby was still curled...

Hey Tamkat, dont not be too hard on yourself, you are doing great! I've made some bad choices this week too, hoping I can pull it back over the weekend as OH is away so he can't tempt me with takeaways! Good luck going back to group xx

Ok so yesterday went pretty much to plan - except OH cooked dinner for all of us and we ended up having Ben and Jerrys for pudding! Was yummy but I ate far too much of it, so today will be strictly to plan. Red day: Brekkie: coffee, 1 weetabix with yoghurt (half hex b) 1 hour body pump...

Daisy - take pregnacare, berroca if I need it, eat loads of fruit and veg and make sure I have fresh air every day - all these things contribute to a healthy immune system, pregnancy does take it out of you and as baby drains all the good stuff out of you, I just try and put double back in!xx

Hi Jenn! Time is flying for you now! i wish I could just eat what I wanted but I just can't be trusted - I'm really conscious of how big I was after having my 2 girls and don't want to feel like that this time. Am keeping to SW as much as possible but still expecting a total gain of around 35...

Morning!! Shopping trip was a success - found a dress for SIL's wedding in Debenhams - first dress I tried on! Had my scan today - baby was curled up in a ball so couldn't get any measurements except for skull and femur so have to go back in 2 weeks. We did see a close up of the face and could...

Morning! Spending the day with my sister today - I've got 2 weddings to go to next month so having a day shopping for an outfit:D Ive got no idea what I'm going to end up with - maybe a maxi dress that I can wear through the summer. Foodwise its it's something like this: brekkie: fruit...

Yes I just have the sliced, pre cooked chicken - normally a whole packet! I do have a couple of 5 syn snacks per day too. Daisy - have u tried swopping your bread for ryvitas? Much more filling and you may not feel you need crisps too as they are crunchy? I have egg or tuna mayo on mine or...

You could always pop in on the pregnancy board with your weekly update - you will have that weight off in no time!xx

I cheat and buy the Waitrose chicken fillets with the marinade already on - I don't bother to syn them as its just jalapenos and some spices with a tiny bit of oil - I haven't used my hex a's so just count them as that! I normally cook everything from scratch but saw these when I was doing...

Daisy - your food doesn't look too bad, you should add some more fruit & veg in as snacks maybe or add to your meals - Just to keep you full. I couldn't get by without eating my fruit as it fills me up and stops me eating too much junk - the days when I don't have fruit available are the days I...

Finally got my food shopping!!! Todays plan: Brekkie: Activia yoghurt & 4 raspberries - this was before food shopping came lol, coffee 45 min spin class, snack - chicken, coffee Lunch: prawn and noodle salad with dressing (2), 3 ryvita (hex b) low fat cottage cheese, tomatoes, mango snack...

It normally takes me around 3 weeks for my muscles to let go of the extra water when I up my exercise - I would drink as much water as possible, it will help and also I would recommend taking your measurements as you may notice that you are shrinking in size rather than in weight at first! xx

Good luck Tamkat - are you going to start a diary?xx

Morning Girls Beautiful day here in sunny Devon! The downside of living so close to the sea is the blimmin seagulls - as soon as its light they are running up and down our roof - I will be investing in some ear plugs this year as I wont be wanting a 4am wake up call when im about to pop in...

Hi, I would agree, it's normal. I would only worry if it was fresh, red blood. Xx

Yay - glad you are all still around! I have my scan and meeting with consultant on Thursday morn - will post up a pic when I'm home. Daisy - definitely post up your food diary, I will post mine too - I do find that I feel better when I eat better - even if I have to have an extra hexa or hexb...

Morning Girls its so quiet on here- feel like I am talking to myself lol how is everyone?xx

If u call target then it is free I believe x

Aww thanks Tamkat, that means a lot:D I have put on 14lbs at 20 weeks, I'm hoping for no more than 2st in total but I know it may be slightly more as my babies are extra large ones! Had a bit of a blip last night, ended up at docs with DD1, didn't get out until 5.30 so ended up taking the...

And here's my food for the day: brekkie: all bran choc wheats with milk (hex a&b), coffee, 2 activia yogs snack: apple lunch: boots shapers salmon & prawn sushi salad (2.5), shapers popcorn (4.5) treat size malteasers (5) snack: 2 ryvitas (hex b), cheese (hex a), ham, grapes & tomatos...

It's really quiet on here - where is everyone lol So, here's my 20 week bump, I actually feel like I'm growing the baby in my backside, as it's a lot bigger than it used to be!

Tamkat - look at the Breastfeeding and healthy extras post, it lists all Hex's depending on age of baby xx

Morning Ladies Hope everyone is feeling good today? Just updating my food for the day - it helps me to put it on here as if its written down I stick to it lol First thing: Coffee and alpen light (3 syns) Exercise: 3.2 mile walk Brekkie: Oatso simple golden syrup (hex b+ hex a) with...

Hi Nicki I was told if u don't get the phonecall in 5 working days then its safe to assume low risk - I think my letter came about 10 working days after xx

Hey Jenn, Yes I have 2 girls aged 9 and 3. We won't be finding out the sex this time as OH really wants a surprise - he would love a boy but would be happy with another girl. food for today: brekkie: coffee, Apple and a muller. 1 hour body pump followed by bacon sandwich (10 syns as wasn't...

Morning Ladies im 20 weeks this week - halfway already!! Don't have my scan until next week though. Feeling baby move a lot now, always at the same times each day. i going to try and be 100% on plan until Saturday lunchtime as I'm out for a hen do dinner sat night. will post up my food after...

Hi PP, Are u going to post a food diary? I'm trying to keep a lid on my weight gain too after gaining 4 1/2st and then 4st with my girls. I did lose it all both times with SW, but this time I have a wedding dress to get into next July so doing my best to keep gain under 3st - I normally lose...

Sooo just weighed in and have gained 4lbs whilst on holiday. Hoping some of that is water from the flight as I always puff up when flying! back to SW today - red day as always: brekkie: coffee with milk (hex a), mixed berries with activia yoghurt 1 hour body pump class lunch: 3 egg omelette with...

Hi Ladies back from our little trip to Spain, not looking forward to stepping on the scales in the morn lol, still I have 12 weeks until our family holiday so it's back to the gym and SW until then! Can't believe I'm 20 weeks next weekend, it's flying by! Will post a 20 week bump pic to compare...

Congrats Tamkat, he's a beaut hope you are well and getting some rest. You must be feeling super slim already, you hardly put anything on whilst preggars and Cooper weighed most of that!! Well done, you are an inspiration xxx

Morning Ladies Tamkat - argghh so close now!!! Daisy - they should listen for heartbeat but it can take a while to find it - mine kept wriggling away and she gave up in the end after listening to it for about 5 seconds. Ive got a Doppler so spend ages chasing him/her around! Ive got my...

Morning Ladies Hope everyone is feeling well and had a good weekend? Tamkat - how are you doing? You must be fit to pop?! Im 18 weeks this week - its flying by and we really need to get babys room sorted as its part of the new extension and is just an empty shell at the mo, just need to...

If you pop over to the SW Pregnancy and Breastfeeding board you will be able to chat with a few of us that are attempting to stick to SW whilst pregnant xx

Your BMI was same as mine when I got pregnant - it's hard seeing it going back up isn't it? Well done on the running, I am rubbish at running!! I do 2x spin and 2 x body pump per week and that's enough for me at the mo, hoping to carry on all the way through if I can x

Hello Chocolate!! Im 17 weeks this week, and have put on 8lbs but I was close to a healthy BMI before I got pregnant. There is no harm in loosing weight whilst pregnant if you are very overweight and as long as you eat healthily - SW is perfect for this! I am still incorporating 4 gym classes...

Wow! Fab bump pics!! I do love a bump pic:D You can take paracetomol if you aren't feeling well, add a hot water with honey and lemon for good measure - I would have added a slug of brandy pre pregnacy lol its my bday tomorrow and OH has booked us a weekend in Cornwall at the hotel we want to...

Oh no it's sideways!! Will try and move it round

Morning ladies, hope everyone is feeling well today? There are lots of coughs/colds going around at the minute. my migraine has finally gone! 10 days of them nearly killed me, will be back at the gym tomorrow as starting to feel a bit wobbly - haven't been for nearly 2 weeks. Got my 16 week...

I'm in the headache club too Tamkat, had an on/off headache since last Monday and 3 horrible migraines too, am shattered and don't know what to do about them. Seeing midwife on thurs for 16 week appt so will ask her then. hope everyone starts feeling better soon - can't wait for spring to come...

Morning Ladies Migraine nearly gone now - it wiped me out all day yesterday, MIL had Dd2 for the night as I just kept going dizzy every time I stood up. So glad it's pretty much gone now. yestersdays food was not great, so have planned today's meals already to get me back on track. hope you...

Hi Girls Quick question - is anyone else suffering from bad headaches? I wake up most mornings with a headache, but today is particularly bad, every time I stand up my head is spinning xx

Aww thanks guys, hoping I can keep at it, it might make a difference to the size of the baby this time - I still have to have a GTT even though it came back negative with last baby. Midwife said I could just be one of those people that grow super large babies but that cutting down on sugar might...

Yay Daisy!!! How exciting for you!!! There is only 11 days between us!! Sooo, this week I have been working on cutting out sugar, ive not had any chocolate/cake/biscuits or sweets, ive not had any sugar in my coffee whereas before I would have had a teaspoon, and I have to say I feel great for...

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Daisy can't wait to see the pic xx

Yay I uploaded it on my own!x

Hi Girls Scan was great although baby wouldn't stop moving and sucking it's thumb! I'm 13+1, due 26th July. Pic shows baby's face quite clearly although she did struggle as my c-sections scars made it difficult at first. Not sure how to upload xx

Hi Guys, hope you all had a good weekend? ive got my scan at 3pm - v excited!! Decided to to cut out sugar this week as have wanted sugary things more and more so thought a week of cutting it out might reset me before I become a crazed sugar monster!! hope you all have a happy and healthy day xx

No snow here either - South Devon, just hailstones the size of marbles last night!! Everyone's welcome to come to mine, but can't promise there will be any food left for you the way I'm going haha xx

Starving today!! So far ive had a bacon sandwich (fat removed) on hex b, big bowl of mango and raspberries and a packet of quavers!! For lunch im going to have a big bowl of pasta with tomato and chilli sauce and then steak with ginger, garlic, chilli and noodles for dinner - hopefully all that...

I just had my booking this week at 11+5 think it just depends on where you live xx

Hi There Your diary looks good to me!! The extra hex's when breast feeding are a bonus! i lost my baby weight after both my girls using SW and am pregnant with my 3rd - trying to stick to SW throughout the pregnancy this time. good luck with your first week xx

Daisy my scan is a week today, will be good to get a definate due date as I have been feeling a few movements already so could be further along that I thought or it could just be another huge baby lol

Jenn - just wanted to send you some hugs, I can understand you being anxious, it must have been a terrible time for you xxx Ive got my first scan next week, I will be 13 weeks by then, im glad the first trimester is pretty much behind me, all my energy has returned and im still managing to keep...

Morning!! Trying to get back on track after xmas is blimmin difficult!! Yesterday I did an hour of body pump and kept pretty much to plan food wise. Today im going for a red day: Brekkie: 2 slices eggy bread (hex b) with bacon, coffee with milk (hex a and 1 sugar - 1 syn) Lunch: chicken salad...

Hi Daisy, I have Alpen lights/ryvitas/a slice of nimble with sliced banana/hex b of cereal when I want a plain snack. I try to go for these first, failing that a bag of quavers or skips!x

Great news Jenn!! Congrats!! I would love to find out what we are having, but OH wants a surprise, we already have 2 girls, but I think he would love a boy, just to even up the numbers a bit!!xx

Happy New Year Ladies!! All good here, I will be 11 weeks on weds, gained a few pounds over Xmas, managed to lose 1.5lbs this week, will hopefully get rid if the rest in the next 2 weeks. Tamkat - not long now!! It's flown by!! Good luck for today Jenn! im sure this thread will become a lot...

Well done Tamkat that's brilliant!! i had my first MW appt today, I'm 9 weeks on weds. I'm under consultant led care again due to size of previous babies. I'm going to try for a VBAC, fingers crossed I get a natural birth this time... have be a great Christmas everyone, I'm sure the boards...

I was thinking the same! Everyone is poorly in my house, coughs, colds, sore throats and headaches!! The last few days I have just felt shattered, got my first midwife appt on Monday, I will be nearly 9 weeks by then. how are you Tamkat?xx

One of my favourite sandwiches ever is white bread, mature cheddar, pickled onions, crisps and salad cream!! Don't eat them that often but when I do its amazing!!X

Morning Ladies! daisy - how are you feeling today? I've got 2 feeling poorly here at the mo. My 3 year old has a cough that she has picked up from nursery, and OH has runny nose, headache etc. Glad they have it now though, should be gone in a couple of days and hopefully nice and healthy for...

Daisy - I don't think there are any remedies to shift a cough but you could try some hot water with honey and lemon juice to soothe your throat? Weather down here is cold, icy rain today - not my favourite type of weather!! No exercise today for me, went to Torquay to get a few birthday...

I've never had a flu jab with previous pregnancies and won't with this one, it's all about the NHS hitting targets set for them - my surgery phoned me and told me my 3 year old needed one! Some peoples kids have been really ill with them and I would rather not go through that with my LO. Xx

Morning Bluebox i feel yucky today and super tired, think it's all starting to catch up with me so going to take it easy today and just have a walk into town and maybe a nap too lol your food looks great!! I'm having scrambled egg with 1 slice wm toast for breakfast plus 1 Alpen light, egg...

Tamkat - I'm doing the same - having from 3pm Christmas Eve to midnight on Christmas Day, back on plan Boxing Day cx

What is it with mince pies?? MIL bought 18 the other day and tried pushing them onto me, when that didn't work she then bought 8 puff pastry ones and tried to get me to take them home lol. I wouldn't mind but she is tiny and doesn't eat half the stuff she tries to push onto other people!!x

Hey blueboxgeek - totally agree with you on the weekly weigh in, its so easy to let it slip and I know how rubbish it feels to have a newborn plus a lot of weight to lose so well done on starting afresh. I woke up at 5am feeling sick, but just propped myself up on another 2 pillows and fell...

Bacon sandwiches are one of my lunchtime favs, or eggy bread with bacon!! This time of year it has to be warm. If you want something plain they have a jacket with cheese, or SW chips with beans? I also make egg fried rice using the microwave pouches - just chuck in a pan with beaten egg and soy...

Morning Ladies!! Its been v quiet on here, hope everyone is ok and had a good weekend? Im still feeling 'normal' apart from the tiredness which hit me like a train yesterday. Feel fine today though, so going to get some housework done and start wrapping presents later. Today: coffee and alpen...

Morning Girls! Welcome Monkeytheory - so pleased for you xx Had a lovely lie in this morn a MIL had kids for us, much needed as OH gets up so early in the week - between 4 and 4.30, so to stay in bed until 8.15 was bliss!! Went down and filled in forms at docs yesterday, due date 30th July...

Morning Ladies! Its blimmin freezing down here at the mo! Have decided that im going to have to treat myself to a couple of nice warm jumper dresses and some decent thick leggings as all mine are wearing thin :-( my SIL gets her from Next and they are 20quid but they are so thick that you can...

Tamkat I honestly wouldn't worry too much, I was measuring 42 weeks at 37 weeks apparently, they sent me for a growth scan and she was 'normal' size for me. If you have only had small babies before I doubt very much that you are suddenly going to produce a whopper! With my first I measured as...

Daisy, I reckon I'm due end of July, will see what they say at 12 week scan. Both my girls were over 10lb and ended in c-sections. With Dd2 they had to break her arm to get her out as she was so big that she was wedged in :-( really hoping that this time by keep fit and eating SW I might have a...

OMG we have a proper little group on here now!! Its nice to see it busy!! Tamkat - you are doing great!! I hope I can do as well as you x Welcome to Bluebox - what a lovely thing you are doing for your sister - im super close to my sisters and would do anything for either of them but you...

Morning Ladies! Glad that my insomnia seems to have stopped, I was waking up at 4am each morning and couldn't get back to sleep, but the last 2 morning I've slept in until gone 7! Havent got much planned today, spin class first thing, then back home for housework etc food for today - coffee...

Hi Daisy - big congrats!! i do mainly red days so just have the usual 2 of each hex's, I keep my syns around 10 at the mo but I do workout 5 times a week so I don't worry too much if I go over this. You don't actually need any more calories at this stage, I fell into that trap with my last 2...

Ive ordered our xmas food shop to be delivered on 23rd Dec, that way there will no chocolate/treats/mince pies hanging around begging to be eaten lol We are at my sisters for Christmas day, and she does SW too so going to try and keep some of the food SW friendly, but I WILL be having...

Morning :-) Good luck for a fresh, healthy new week Tamkat- we all have blips now and again, nothing to worry about, just get back on the SW horse and keep going xx i had a busy weekend, lunch with my bestie, Xmas shopping, little get together with my sisters and our kids to see Xmas lights...

You look fab!!! I totally get where you are coming from hun, I went up to 17st just before I had both of my girls. It took me 2 years after each pregnancy to get back into the 12's. I guess we have to accept some gain as healthy for us and the baby. My SIL has just had her first and now thinks...

Had a good 7.5 hours sleep last night - much needed!! Plan for today is: coffee an apple and an Alpen light, then going to do body combat - haven't done it for 2 weeks so won't go too crazy lol, lunch is eggy bread with bacon and mushrooms, dinner will be cottage pie with carrots and broccoli...

Hey Tamkat :-) you are doing great hun, unfortunately men don't really understand how hard it is to lose pregnancy weight, it doesn't just drop off afterwards - it's a long,hard slog. I wish that in my previous pregnancies I had kept on top of my weight gain rather than use it as an excuse to...

Hey Jennjenn Yep the weather stayed clear for me, but then I am completely the opposite end of the country to you - im in Brixham, South Devon!! Walked for an hour, then started feeling a bit weak so came home and had a coffee and some mango, have cleared out DD1's bedroom, just got to do the...

Morning Ladies! awake really early this morn, think I ended up having too much rest yesterday, but feeling a bit better today. Hopefully will manage a good walk this morn, have to go into town so hoping weather stays dry and I can do 4-5 miles. Got duck in plum sauce with veg and noodles for...

Ooooh, ive heard about the nub theory - I don't think we are going to find out this time (we did with both girls, so a surprise would be nice!) but I will certainly have a look at the 'nub'!! Food for today not looking too bad- bacon and egg on wm toast for brunch, plenty of fruit, then steak...

Morning Ladies!!! Tamkat, I have had a headache all night - woke up with a sore throat, I think its that time of year - lots of bugs etc Had to cancel my spinning class this morn as feel yucky and the thought of going crazy on a bike for 45 mins was just not doing it for me! Going to have...

Hey Girls Monday has rolled around again :-( hate having to get my girls out of bed on these cold mornings - I can see my car has a frozen windscreen, really don't want to go outside!! 2 gym classes for me this morn - bodypump and spinning, omelette and salad for lunch and chicken curry with sw...

Morning Ladies :) Got back from Essex last night after a monster 7 hour drive :sigh: loads of traffic, but did really well and only stopped for a wee twice!! Glad to be home and back on plan - got a shoulder of lamb in the slow cooker, going to have with roast pots and loads of veg later :p...

Morning Ladies How are you feeling today? Ive started feeling a bit yucky in the morn, but apart from that im managing to stick to plan, scales showing 12st7 which is 1lb down, driving to Essex this morn to see my friends and go for a curry, not quite sure how im going get away with not...

Due end of July, I have big babies and ended up having a C-section with both girls, am really hoping that by gaining less weight I might have a better chance of a normal size baby and a natural delivery. Havent had a bad day today, fish for lunch and dinner, fruit for snacks etc but I know in a...

Morning Girls Please may I join in? I got my BFP last night!! This will be no3 for us, we have 2 girls age 3 and 8. I gained a lot of weight with both pregnancies and went up to over 17st, so this time I would love to minimise weight gain. I used SW to lose weight after each and managed to get...

So Christmas shopping yesterday was a massive fail - nursery called to say dd2 still had 1 chickenpox that hadn't crusted over and I had to go and pick her up. Gutted! Ended up having bacon and mushroom risotto with a laughing cow blue cheese stirred in, plus some mikado sticks and a punnet of...

Morning All 1st October today, and that means Christmas shopping starts in this household!! We have a huge coin pot that we stick all our change in to and I will be taking that to the coin machine today to get the first batch of presents - super exciting!! No exercise today, apart from walking...

Weigh in was on Saturday and I was down 1.5lbs - really happy with that as my weight hasn't really moved the last few months - ive been lifting heavy weights at the gym and the inches have shrunk in size, ive gone from a 14 to a 12, my weight has stayed the same throughout. We go to Rome next...

Weigh in day tomorrow, need to reign it in today as had some mulled wine and malteasers last night, its that time of year when everything that's soo bad for you suddenly seems sooo appealing - salad and yoghurt isn't quite cutting it at the mo!! Today is a red day: Brekkie: Coffee, milk (hex...
