Same! Cannot seem to stick to SW AT ALL at the minute! Weighed in this morning at 12stone exactly so I have put on exactly a stone and a half at 33 weeks! Don't think that's too bad but my head is so far out of the being healthy mindset that I'm worried about how I'm going to get back into it...

I am 26 weeks and I have gained 18lbs so far! It says that is at the high end of normal on that link - I can live with that but I am really hoping not to put on much more than 2 stone if I can help it.....don't think the KFC last night helped though :o I have so much willopwer during the day -...

Thank you! Can't beleive that you weren't told about going to see the midwife! That is a massive oversight on their behalf! Did you make a complaint? I thought mine were a bit incosiderate rushing me in and out and not giving me info on certain things - but at least I got to see mine! Pleased...

Hi everyone, I’ve just booked in to have my flu jab done! Has anyone else had it and if so, did your midwife tell you about it? Mine has never mentioned a word about it to me and I’m wondering if there are other things that I should be booking in for – like diabetes testing? I probably should...

I've started Lazy Daisy too - I love it! I haven't booked onto the NHS ones yet but will hopefully get round to doing that this week! I'm hoping they have a January course so it's all fresh in my mind for when junior arrives! Booked onto a breastfeeding workshop on 15th December - all feeling...

Awww thank you so much everyone!! I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and have put on just over a stone and feeling huge (even though that is far less than my starting weight on SW - weird)! so it is so nice to read these comments and gives me confidence that I will be able to lose the weight once...

Thank you for the reassurance - I think you are both probably right but I'm still panicking, even after talking to the Doctor. I fell down about 6/7 stairs at home this morning - fell on my bum and my back. I am fine just got a carpet burn on my arm and think I've pulled or strained something...

Hello girls, I am currently waiting for my doctor to ring me back and advise me what the best course of action is after falling down the stairs this morning! I am such an idiot and if anything has happened I will never forgive myself! :( Mrs JH I really, really hope you are in the midst of...

No I am now 10.3 - AGAIN! I gained 2bs last week taking me to 10.5 and then lost 2lbs this week taking me back to 10.3. 10.2 is the lowest I have been on SW so I am hoping to be there again next week and then take it from there! I'm chuffed with being this low for so long now but frustrated...

Wow, congratulations Emmaline that is a FAB loss :eek: :D Well done :D

I know I was a right moaning Minnie last week – thank you for sorting me out! Whatever happens at your weigh in I am sure you will come out fighting – you always do chick! You’re fab! Good luck xxxx

Snap! I lost 2lbs this week to put me bacjk at 10.3 AGAIN! I am pleased as it's the same 2lbs that I gained last week but I feel like I have been stuck here for forever! I am going to do a week of red days to see if that helps and maybe a success express day (once I've got my head round it...

I lost 2lbs this week - the same 2lbs I put on last week but heigh-ho! It's off now and it's staying off!!! :D Good Luck Team Monday xx

Hiya oh yes Mission 9 is still definitely underway! I lost 2lbs this week (Yaaay!) - but I did gain 2lbs last week so that's just that shifted again - but I am pleased as the way last week was looking I thought I was going to have ANOTHER gain and then I might have just given up ! :rolleyes...

Well I am pleased to be reporting in with a 2lb loss! :D :D So that's last weeks gain gone and now back down to 7lb to target (AGAIN!!!). Thank you all for the much needed kick up the backside and pep posts last week! Muchos appreciated :D

This is EXACTLY how I feel too! I have contemplated changing my target too as my body seems to be stuck here but I know that is a totally defeatist attitude and there is now way I am can actually bring myself to do it! We CAN do this - we have come so far now - it's just this last little bit we...

Yaaaay! Congratulations Hun xx

PM for you hun xx

Hiya Roxie, I've attached the pictures for you in case you don’t like the look of any of them! The dress is a sort of ruffle - not sure if you can see it very well from the picture. Let me know if you definitely want them and I'll sort out postage tomorrow :D I am a size 10 in just about...

Piccies attached - clothes are a bit creased as I have had them all in a not so neat bag waiting to be listed! I will de-crease though if anyone wants anything. Alos, please ignore dodgy bedding in our spare room! :o Please note - the DP purple top says 12 on the actual label but 12 on the...

Ooops wrong thread! Moved!

Awww thank you so much ladies :thankyou: both for your support and not making me feel like a total loser (even though I wasn’t this week :rolleyes:!!) I think my main problem is all in my head and the fact that I am absolutely convinced that I am going to put all the weight I have lost back on...

OK, not entirely how to say this without being absolutely mortified, embarrassed and wondering what the hell I was doing joining this group in the first place when I was already off the wagon! :o :confused: I suppose I was hoping that it might give me the kick up the jacksy I needed to stop...

Ey up chick! Am so sorry for being a no-show recently but I am REALLY struggling to be good! ….or anywhere even near resembling good! I have gained 2lbs this week and can only see it getting worse! Birthdays, weddings, leaving do's…..ARRRRGGHHH!!!! I am now 9lbs from target but feel...

Hey Mrs! I think it's about the right time for your jollies now?? Hope you are having a super dooper fan dabby dozy time:D xx

RIP Amy!! Amazing talent with a tortured soul! Hope she's finally found some peace now :(

I'm well sick now :mad: ha ha! Ooopsy! An Indian takeaway always seems to make me feel ropey the next day......And fat!!!

Lamb tikka Jalfrezi, special pilau rice and chilli naan bread! It's all gone tits up this end!!! :o

Welcome back hun! Well done for picking yourself back up and starting again! There is no shame in falling off the wagon - as long as you get back on it! I've been looking through your last coupld of menus and have to say..... where is the food??? Ceral bars for lunch? :eek: You must be...

Hi Pommette - not to hijack the thread (I promise) but just to ask a question - do you live near La Manga? Just asking as you say you're on the Mar Menor? My Mam has an apartment there and it's beautiful - very jealous of you right now! OK, that's it :D

Oh thank the Lord for this thread! I have been piddling about with the same pound for FOREVER! On, off, on, off.......for SEVEN weeks now! :o :mad: Please, please, please can I jump on board and get stuck in? 7lbs for me xx

Sounds like we're all in the same boat mojo-wise!! I have been losing / gaining the same pound for 4 weeks:o:mad: Let's try to pull together now Team 9 and get back on it!! No more excuses :D x x

WOW some absolutely amazing losses this week TEAM MONDAY! :D :D Well done! I STS - pleased with this though as I have well and truly fell off the SW wagon this week! I am chasing it though and hoping to be back on it soon! :p

I am about to embark on We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver! Reviews are mixed so will let you know :D

Hope you're feeling better soon chick (or preggers :D :D) Have a fab weekend God luck for WI xx

Hey world!.... ....Well, after my Wednesday afternoon misdemeanour I have been AWOL and not on plan :rolleyes: I haven't been really bad but I haven't been really good either! - in other words I haven't been scoffing my face but what I have been eating / drinking hasn't been great! Anyway...

Happy Bithday hun xxx

Aww chick I really feel for you! My Grandad died 9 years ago and I still think about him all the time! I see my Gran on a daily basis and don't know what I'd do if anythng ever happened to her (obviously I know it will eventually but I don’t think about that!) I think that you are right to...

OK so I have finallygot round to clearing my wardrobe out and have some 14's, loads of 12's and some 10's - bits of everything! Not done this before so shall I just list what I've got as there will be too many piccies to put on? If anyone wants pics they can, of course, then just ask and I'll be...

Yaaaay! Well done you that is a FAB loss xxxx

In a complete U-turn from last week - I honestly don't think I will EVER be in the 9's - was so chuffed to lose 2lbs last week but yet again have put 1lb of that back on this week (so back to 10.3) - it's getting really hard now to shift any more! :cry: :cry:

Bit of an up and down weekend! Up = lots of good times in the sun :D , Bad = lots of naughty food and alcohol! :( Friday - opening ceremony at work for one of projects - lunch and drinks with the team followed by a leaving do for one of our colleagues = lots of alcohol and no tea! BAD...

I had a weird sort of NSV last night - I saw a girl out in our local pub who I haven't seen for a while and who I don't really get on with (long, boring story involving boys!!! :rolleyes: ) When she saw me she said "just because you've lost loads of weight you walk about thinking you own the...

Yes that's definitely an NSV! :D It took for me to lose over a stone before anyone (except my OH, bless him!!) said a dicky-bird to me - but don't worry once they start they come thick and fast - and it feels good! Well done on your first NSV - here's to many more :D :D

Sorry to hear about your small gain hun but it sounds like you are doing everything right to put them scales right next week. I am loving red days at the minute - I never, EVER thought I would say that I that I think I am addicted to salads!!! :eek: :eek: :D ha ha - how VERY bizarre it...

Good morning world! Well yesterday did not go anywhere near as bad as expected - I resisted the really bad stuff and went for what I considered the best options - nothing was particularly SW friendly so I opted for mini chicken wraps, chicken satay sticks, fish sticks and strawberries…..oh...

Hi Sarah, wow - can’t believe you've only got 13 weeks left! You must be sooo excited now?! Hope pregnancy has been treating you well - I remember you were so tired in your first trimester - hope it eased for you! xx

Happy Birthday! Have a good one xx

Well yesterday was a fan dabby dozy day SW-wise (and a sneaky weigh in this morning sees yesterday's shocking gain all gone!) - I am, however, approaching today with much trepidation! It is our team Summer lunch where we are celbrating my 30th (nearly 3 months late!!), my colleagues 60th and...

I did both Alpha and On Fire courses (On Fire - On Fire Mission) and they were some of the best times of my life! :) Good luck xx

OK, I'll 'fess up now seeing as there is no point in trying to hide it! I was a BAD, BAD girl yesterday and ate just about everything in site -:sign0007: including chips and gravy from the flamin' chippy, some of OH's kebab and some crisps! :break_diet: I do appear to love a good sabotage...

First of all - whoop whoop CONGRATS on the 1.5lb loss! You really are doing so well! :bliss: Secondly, - I have to say the fact that your hubby is being bullied at work is absolutely disgusting! Anything like that just sends shivers down my spine - it says a LOT about the men - and I use the...

Hiya hun, Hope you're totally sunning it up and having a fabulous holiday! :character00238: What you need to do is rise above everyone else and remember the reason you wanted to lose weight in the first place. In your head you know you're in the right place now to lose weight - holiday...

.....and this is me at 10.4 I can't wait to say....and here is me at TARGET!! :eek: :D xx I know it doesn't maybe look like that much - but it feels it :D :D

Just been looking back over some old photographs and thought I'd share a couple. I am in quite a good place right now where I am pretty confortable in my own skin (….AT LAST!) - I think that is probably the reason I have been hovering at the 7lb / 8lb from target mark for flippin ages now...

Went to put on a pair of my old faithful work trousers this morning (as the weather has took a horrible turn for the worse! :mad: ) and they were FAR too big for me - they looked like they belonged to someone else - someone I hope I never see again! :cross: Now, I love those trousers but it...

You are quite right my love - it should have been a red - thank you for keeping me on track! ...... .......However, I ended up having a few SW chips with my tea - so I think it's back to EE :confused: as I didn’t weigh them :o - I need to be a little bit more on the ball methinks!

:banana dancer: wooooo hooooo :banana dancer: Fabulous.....well done on getting your 2 stone chick!! Wow target really is within reaching distance now :D Good luck for this week x x

Well, I'm not entirely sure how I didn't gain more to be honest - I really didn't stick to plan at all!.....but I didn't eat the whole of Spain out either which I normally would on hols! We were p*ssed every day - but I think mainly sticking to vodka and soda (with a dash of lime of course)...

Hello there petal! I know I could hardly believe it myself - I took a 10 and a 12 in and to be honest they both looked (and felt) exactly the same (weird!) - so I obviously took the 10!!! I was practically dancing round the changing room! Still feels weird buying size 10 clothes when this time...
