Eurgh! after all the good losses and my 4 and a half sticky I have put on 2.5lbs since wednesday!!! its (*) week, I'm not eating bad - but im drinking and drinking with no results in the wee department... and i've eaten 4 clementines today on top of 3 bananas and my lunch.... I feel blue! :cry:

Sparky - Am I reading your signature wrong or have you lost 27 stone? If so OMG thats amazing, look at all your stickers! - well done you!!

Well done - thats fab!! x

mines at 7pm!! hoping for another certificate today so i'm trying to not eat... LOL

Yeah she is Fab! I'm guessing she's been told it from higher up or something so she's just passing it on. - I'm going to use it as my HeA anyway I think - else I just double up on dairy - and I don't want to do that!

honestly I don't know - My consultant said as you cannot make sure they produce it the same every time and because I haven't made it myself I cannot count it (sometimes I do though when I want 2 Freddo's in a day LOL)

ahh thank you! I couldnt find it on the website - I will try it seperately at the weekend maybe with some pork mince to make it extra yummy and see how it goes!

does anyone have a good recipe for low syn / syn free stuffing?

ooo this sounds good - could you supply a recipe?

perfect - thank you! i've been told i cannot count the skimmed milk as my HeA so i have to count it all!

can anyone tell me the syns in a skinny latte from costa, I can only find the flavoured syns online?!

Ok yummy time - This is MissP's 5 bean and quorn Chilli! Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us it looks a bit crabby as i had to put it in a container to take to my babysitting gig lol but i promise its lush! So here is how I make it - I'm sure you can tweak it anyway...

so I have pretty much the same lunch as Friday - so I'm not uploading another picture - but I do have a 5 bean chilli for dinner - so picture and recipe will be uploaded later... yum!

woop woop! xx

Mixed green leaf salad, butter beans, sweetcorn, onions and pasta mixed with 2 tbsp extra light Mayo (1 syn) with cherries and muller light for afters.... all that for 1 syn... YUM!

2lb on this week. not dwelling. Have dusted myself off for 100% WEEK. 1.5hrs clocked at the gym tonight. :p

cheers all - I ended up going to tesco and getting some skimmed milk - full fat makes me feel guilty!

OOO that sounds lovely - might have to try it tomorrow!

hiya can someone tell me what the HXA allowance is in ml for full fat milk? I don't normally have it but its all that is in the work fridge and I don't have my book on me :(

I've been back on track this week with force, eating every fruit and veg in site and exercising every day..... and i think ive STS or put on....hmmmmm!!!!

really? mine says its ok for bread in sandwiches but that we cant do it with milk etc, as you can't be sure that they are using the right milk 100% of the time etc - there are so many variables. What syn value is a shot of caramel syrup from Costa then?

we were told you cannot use your HEX A - for things like costa and starbucks, because you havent made it and you can't 100% be sure how its been made. its why I syn mine. I would check with your consultant.

That sounds pretty lush!

hi guys, i need to find myself a new HeA.... but I don't have my book on me... anyone have any ideas for new yummy HeA... I always stick to skimmed milk and cheddar cheese... boring!

No, thats the problem, I havent had a blow out so I don't know what to do to 'get back on track' as I was on there! :cry:

you are a star! Just Pm'ed you :)

4lbs on, I bloody knew it... feel like **** :cry:

hi all, ive been to group tonight and forgot to pick up an EE fod diary, does anyone have one they can scan in and upload for me to print? thanks in advance! xx

Hi All, hope you are all having a good week. I can't get myself into the right mindset at the moment - I'm sure im going to have put on 3 or 4 lbs at weigh in tomorrow, I've been back on my plan 100% since friday, Syn-ing everything and making sure I eat loads of fruit and veg etc and the...

Thanks Gail I have been stuffing myself with superfree foods today and yesterday to try and get back into the right mindset... The salads are really making me 'feel' healthier again inside and even my skin feels better today.. just gotta get on with it and if i have a large gain next week, well...

Hi All well after being really happy with my 11.5lb loss over December. Weigh in wednesday I put 0.5lb on :( and I weighed this morning after being good for the last few days and seem to have gained another 4lbs from nowhere... is Xmas weight to blame..lol?! I am on (*) week as well...

Hi All well after being really happy with my 11.5lb loss over December. Weigh in wednesday I put 0.5lb on :( and I weighed this morning after being good for the last few days and seem to have gained another 4lbs from nowhere... is Xmas weight to blame..?! I am on (*) week as well though...

Weigh in for me later, I'm really worried today, I lost 11.5lbs in december and got SOTM, but this week is my (*) week and I'm drinking loads and not weeing! (too much info eh) I think I've put 1lb on... boooooo :(

dont be hard on yourself, my consultant said a cup of water can weigh a pound!! I always like to keep in mind on weigh day that I am only that weight for the 2 seconds that I get on the scales with all the fluctuations your body goes through over the process of a week or even a day to keep at...

3.5lbs off this week and slimmer of the month! :)

3.5lbs off this week and slimmer of the month... whoop :D

3.5lb off and slimmer of the month!! oh my, this cold must be doing me some good!

aww thank you, its taken me nearly a year though :( im sure whatever the damage is it wont be too bad and on the plus side, whatever it is its still over 4 stone lighter than last year!

im not looking forward to 7pm tonight! ive not been really bad every day as ive had this cold some days i've not wanted anything - but ive had things to eat I wouldnt normally dream of, mini pizzas, chicken bites - twiglets!!.... DAMN YOU ICELAND! oh well i'll get it over with I guess - pig out...

Hi Stacey, What a great reason to come back, so congratulations on the bubba! Good luck with your journey :)

haha yea we have a £25 limit for ours this year, i've never had anything from hotel chocolat so I'll really be looking forward to them - I've resisted the temptation to eat them, i think my cold is helping though - don't really want to eat much!

haha i would of hoped they noticed a bit - but it was a new member of staff so they only really have been here 5 weeks, so ive lost about a stone...bless them though - was a nice thoughtful gift! my OH has hidden them out of reach so I cannot get to them anyway!

I was just wondering either of you get achy legs at all as well? they are starting to ache by my knees which is strange as they didnt ache when i was bigger! Happy Xmas to you as well Cee-Cee, only 16 minutes and its christmas eve!

all booked for august 2012! soo exciting, but really want to be near my target at that point! gotta keep slogging on i guess... .... maybe not this weekend though, it is christmas! x

thanks Cee-Cee! its a hard struggle sometimes - but i have the goal of a skinny wedding dress in my sights Lol I think I will try cocoa Butter, alot of people reccomend it and any moisturiser is better than none, even if it has no affects on my saggy bits! I drink loads of sugar free squash...

hi all, I'm sure there are many threads out there about excess skin, but I though I'd ask a few questions and see if anyone has any good solutions for me! I have lost around 4.5 stone so far, and about 7.5 to go (eeek) but im starting to notice excess skin on my legs, I guess that I was...

0.5lb on this week! I knew 7lbs last week was too good to be true :cry:

0.5 on this week. was expecting it as im eating again after my cold and 7lb loss last week... not looking forward to next wednesday though! :sigh:

Ooooo well done, I love getting those stickers!

Thanks Val, Just keep worrying that it could be something really bad, I don't know why I've got it in my head... just so anxious :(

hey All, I've got an appointment to see my doctor Thursday morning but thought I'd share my symptoms to see if anyone else has experienced it and can put my mind at rest. So Ive had a cold for about 2 weeks, that's just clearing up, still coughing up a little phlegm though and now i'm...

Hello All, Can I join? I weigh in on wednesdays, lost 7lbs this week - and total 4 stone 7.5lbs in total. well done to everyones weightlosses! :D

haha no, Just meant normally I only have 1 -3lb losses. last time i lost 7lb was my first week with SW!

lost 7lbs this week! I think it was due to a cold though. :sigh: total now at 4 stone 6 1/2 pounds. :D

7lbs off this week for me, 100% due to a cold tho!

well I weighed in last night and have lost 7lbs this week, it 100% has to be the loss of appetite from the cold. Makes me panic tho and worry there is something else wrong with me :sigh:

aww sorry to hear that - I have ups and downs all over the place, just gotta keep on i guess! x

Lol cheers all, I've got weigh in tonight so I will let you know how i get on... still not over the cold though!

hi All just wanted to check in to see if anyone else has experienced high weight loss when they have a cold? Ive had a cold for around a week - and since friday ive lost 5 and 3/4 pounds. This doesnt seem normal to me and gets me worried that there is something else wrong. just looking for...

Kas thats amazing, I had about 14 stone to lose, now its around 10 stone.. seems like such alot but what i think now is that i only really need to do what ive done twice more.... so im 33% of the way there.... ahh that sounds loads better!

Hi guys, had a maintain last wednesday - hoping for a better week this week :)

Thanks Vixter - never give up hope! I guess the doctor must mean that there are no signs or symptoms anymore - which is good enough for me i guess! :o)

just wanted to say thanks for the advice last week guys, it worked great. Had the same provlems this week tho - so have taken 2 tonight. hoping it corrects itself soon.. hate taking iron!

thanks guys, I just wasnt sure if i could take them together, fingers crossed i feel better tomorrow then! xx

Hi everyone, I wanted to find out if there was anyone else that has had the same experience as me at all.. I was diagnosed with PCOS 6 years ago, weight gain and heavy, irrgular periods being the trigger. I went for some blood tests last week, and my doctor has told me that they are all now...

Hi all, i'm a Wednesday SW club member, so I think i'm going to hang around this thread for motivation and the like - lost 3 stone 12lbs so far.. and 1.5lbs last week. :)

hi Guys, I've just had my iron tablet intake upped and im finding the other thing non existant, has anyone taken this dulcolax? I'm worried about taking it but im in soooo much pain! :mad:

Thanks for the reply - Back on it with a slimming world dinner and aqua fit tonight then! x

After a cracking 4lb loss this week I treated myself to a sandwich, bag of crisps and a Kit Kat.... worrying how quick that will catch up with me now :cry: Does anyone else self - sabotage like this?

What a slow few months its been! thought I'd come back and say high, Ive lots 3 stone 6 lbs now... after a relaxing summer of eating Lol Hoping to be a bit more active back on here now.... Heres to more weight loss!

I find the same, I lost 4lb last week and ate loads of salads and meat and fruit (on EE) this week its my '*' week, ive been good not cheated, but not eaten anything apart from a few bits of fruit for the last 2 days and ive put on 2.5lbs.... .... oficially depressed!

curly wurlys are 5.5 and worth every one! I like the skinny cow ice creams too for 4.5 as well. If you even need any help, dont hesitate to PM me :)

Hi Spuds, I'm really enjoying the SW experience, I have the most amazing consultant, who has really become a friend, I think the most important thing is to stay to meetings, it really makes a difference and try new foods and recipes.. there are a few things I could'nt live without on SW... mug...

Hi All, I too suffer with PCOS, diagnosed at 18. I dont have the more obvious symptoms, like the acne and facial hair, I hear other peoples concerns with them and I suppose I consider myself lucky in some ways. I find it very hard to lose weight and am taking it very slow. I get really bad...

Hi all, late come to this thread, but I thought I'd add my input, I started SW mid january at 26 stone, now im down to 23 stone 3lbs. Had a few slip ups and off weeks but its going well. My target is 11 stone. So I needed to lose 15! only 12 stone 3lbs to go...I'm sure that will sound better...

hi all, only just brave enough to start posting in here, Ive been at slimming world since the middle of january, and have lost 2stone 8lbs with them and just got my club ten. yep thats right, i started at 26 stone! bring on next week :p

hey not been around for a while, im another 5lbs down now... 23 stone 3... really need to find a way to speed it up if there are any ideas?

Hi all, ive been lurking around these forums for a while so thought it best to sign up. Ive been with slimming world since january and lost 2 stone 3lbs so far. Its starting to slow up, so im on xenical from my doctor as well. Does anyone know how much I should expect to lose a week on xenical...
