I haven't been to a WW group in over 10 years as couldn't get on with the changes so swapped to SW. 10 years later and looking to go back to WW but just wondered what happens now?

Great. Thank you ladies

I've been a Slimming World member but need a change as got complacent but don't want to fork out loads to sign up if I don't get on with it so if anyone knows where I can sign up cheaper that would be fab! Also how does WW work these days? Haven't done it in about 10 years! Thanks

if its the 1st ingredient in the ingredients list then yes

It may seem simple but slimming world give you 6 weeks holidays for holidays/illness as set out in the terms and conditions which everyone (and a lot without reading first) sign to say they agree to. Pre planned hospital visits are included in this. If you were to be admitted suddenly then you...

its in the latest zoom that the new warehouse is cos they now distribute to USA and Ireland so are tight on space

ops

i highly doubt sw will reply as your consultant was only following sw rules. hospitalisation overide has LOADS of condotions attached to it

Team fun Tech is in its simplest form a way of getting food talk and a bit of competitiveness going between the 2 halves of the room. Points are given for each member, new members get extra so everyone is welcoming as they want the points (and are friendly anyway) each member whose brought...

a lady in my group does the ordering as a consultant can't do it (not allowed to promote things that aren't sw) But everyone knows how much money to bring and that if they don't order they don't get. If anyone forgets then they only do once as they get jealous when the order arrives and is given...

as a consultant myself i think its awful that some of you have been allowed to buy countdowns and will miss out. It was published in the slimming world diary given to us last December that there was a countdown offer for existing members at the beginning of April so i have been discouraging my...

the 100 green and original are being phased out because at the end of the year there will be BRAND NEW ones published with new recipes in them, same for the one pot wonders book

they used to but because they didnt want overly processed foods they couldnt get them manufactured and distributed so they stopped

yes but notified absence is just that notified absence as explained in my previous post. A shift worker can only be added as a shift by the consultant (ME!) before the group as you put in your post quoted above

gonna aim for 7lbs this month as ach month i seem to lose a couple more than the previous month! aslingb 9 lbs ( lbs to go lbs lost) alwyn 7lbs (lbs to go, lbs lost) Amandaj 8 lbs (lbs to go, lbs lost) Billybolly 8ls (lbs to go-lbs lost) Blue*Smartie 4.5lbs (4.5lbs to go 0lbs lost) Cakey 8lb...

the butterscotch ones are coming out soon as us consultants got our sample in the post last week-end! Going to be sold in packs of 6 for £2 and are 3 syns each or 2 for a HEB. Slightly smaller than the others but I didnt notice that so cant be that much smaller

i'm a consultant and i know nothing of a change in syns! we do advise you have 10 a day though when you start but thats only so you can play around with them a bit

notified absence doesnt prevent back fees just acknowledges you wont be at group. Its usually used by regular target members who cant come one week for some reason

If you are a shift worker you must let the consultant know as soon as possible as you cannot over ride a shift worker the following week like you can for a holiday

it depends what i have in the house. If the fruit bowl is looking a bit manky then i put something like a tin of baked beans or tinned tomatoes in but if the fruits looking ok i take something out the fruit bowl

it depends. this week i have had them over the week as we had friends round we havent seen for years so had a naughty chinese, then it was a big birthday meal for my brother the next day. I must admit though when i've done this in the past my losses were better than when i have 10-15 per day so...

sit down with a pen and paper and on one side write down why your doing sw and on the other why you've fallen off the rails the last few weeks. Then focus on the why your doing sw! You can do it

I am a consultant and have been on training since that post was posted and we were told that if you dont have all the hex then you need to syn what you have or have all the components of it. If your not but are losing weight then fine but when your sat there saying i've sts and dont know why...

Its over a certain weight but i havent got my manual here to check what it is. BTW pregnant women don't get any extra HEX only when they are breastfeeding If your consultant has asked you to help out its because you always attend group and always stay and are therefore reliable people to...

well they tell their consultants differently at training at slimming world head office. We were told if your not having the whole healthy extra then your not having enough fibre/calcium to be classed as a healthy extra and therefore have to syn what you do have or have the extra part to make it...

mugshots and mullers aren't free food though, they're syn free so yes you do need to exercise portion control. with reference to scan bran with your porridge, if you don't have it ur not having ur hexb so need to syn the porridge and have something else for your hexb

I can't believe its over a year since i found out i was pregnant! I now have a teething 5month old girl who had her first taste of 'food' this morning! Some porridge (at health visitors advice!!!!) which she loved

you'll like the new award slimming world are bringing out soon then!

yup its called team fun tech

It isn't a group I could usually attend though, so if I did decide to continue to attend how easy is it to change groups? Very easy you just tell the new consultant you want your details transferring to them. A phone call to the old consultant telling them would be appreciated too! What...

Hubby goes back to work on Monday so will just be me and baby! I'm doing EE but as hubby doesn't like pasta we dont tend to have it but with it just being me at home for lunch I thought I could do pasta lunches but am stuck for ideas. What quick EE/Pasta lunches do you make?

congratulations! you just follow sw as normal when ur pregnant but you have to get the midwife tosign a form which you can get from your consultant. Once you have that signed then the midwife tells you how much you should lose/gain and the consultant should help you do it! I personally...

its nice dunked into soup as well

i personally do extra easy as it is just that! Your consultant will explain it all to you and you will get a pack with some ideas in too. Take £1.95 with you and you'll be able to get a magazine if the consultant has any left which has a 7 day planner in and also loads of extra recipes, and...

its lovely made into cakes! curly wurly scan bran cake yumyum

or just but what you need for up to group then go shopping again when you've been

take a look through peoples food diaries too as they will give you an idea of what to have

I started in december and have lost 9lbs. Was fully breastfeeding when I started but now down to one feed a day. Had 1lb gain week between christmas and new year and lost it the first week back then sts then lost 5.5 last week.

you might find the free foods book helpful from group as it also list healthy extras by shops too! Its 1.95 and small enough to fit in your handbag

as a consultant can i just say that the whole going around the group with losses and gains and doing the new member talk at the start is exactly what we are told to do by Slimming World. Although on the way discussions should pop up. If your consultant is not asking you what your favourite meal...

davina is fab! i have the pre and post pregnancy workoputs which is good! i have 2 if anyone wants to buy one off me? weigh in this week saw a 5.5lb loss so am now 9lbs lighter than when i joined at beginning of december! gained 1lb between christmas and new year and lost it first week of jan...

forgot to post last week. I sts but this week i lost 5.5lbs!

i put on 1lb between christmas and new year and lost it the first week of jan!

you can only buy a new countdown, book hols etc from the group you joined so if you want to get a new countdiwn when this one runs out you need to get it from your original group or transfer your membership

i get nervous EVERY week

i gained a lb last week and lost it again this week! am soo pleased cos joined first week of december and lost 2.5lbs in december. Not a lot but could have started 2011 a hell of a lot heavier so very very pleased

-1 this week! whoop whoop

Good Luck! You'll love it

i thought the outlay was cheap for a business that can potentially earn you a lot of money. I earn as much doing 2 groups as I did from my day job and spend 1 day at group (am and pm) then 1 day doing paperwork etc. Meetings are once a month and after your initial training you go to HO as much...

+1 this week and that was due to bread the day before and day of weigh in and was due to feed baby

another -0.5 this week which i am pleased with cos been ill and off food

-0.5 so pleased cos been ill shellystar x x 8lbs to lose for New Year eve ( 4lbs lost : 4lbs to lose ) ColJack - 14lbs ( 21.5lbs lost : 7.5lbs over target :) ) mummymoo - 7lbs (3.5lbs lost : 3.5lbs to lose) Catxx - 6.5lbs (7.5lbs lost :)) Foxychic - 7lbs (0lbs lost : 7 to lose...

i went on my own but not anymore as i've made lots of new friends!

lost 2.5lbs this week! whoop whoop! I breastfeed about 95% of the time. If i'm with baby and she's hungry i feed her but if not with her she gets a bottle and sometimes gets one when i am there if shes still screaming after i've fed her. Not bad considering she had to go back in hospital cos...

yeah I lost 2st 2lbs in 2 weeks when baby was born! 1st 1lb overnight then the rest was the fluid from my swollen ankles! ______________ -2.5 this week :woohoo: 16st 6.5lb

yey 2.5lbs this week! Thats more like it, was slightly disappointed with my 1/2lb loss in my 1st week last week shellystar x x 8lbs to lose for New Year eve ( 4lbs lost : 4lbs to lose ) ColJack - 14lbs ( 18.5lbs lost : 4.5lbs over target :) ) mummymoo - 7lbs (3.5lbs lost : 3.5lbs to lose)...

your allowed extra healthy extras after the baby is born if you breast feed but you follow the plan as normal when you are pregnant

-0.5 this week which is a tad annoying as it was my first week but not had any accurate scales so my hex weren't weighed and as I'm breastfeeding i'm hoping that I underestimated what I was having!! 16st 9

oops 1st week weigh in and only lost 0.5lbs BUT jeans loose already! shellystar x x 8lbs to lose for New Year eve ( 2lbs lost : 6lbs to lose ) ColJack - 14lbs ( 6lbs lost : 8lbs to lose ) mummymoo - 7lbs (0.5lbs lost : 6.5lbs to lose) Catxx - 6.5lbs (4.5lbs lost : 2lbs to lose) Foxychic -...

if you return to group 6 weeks after your baby is born you dont have to rejoin just start paying again! I chose to rejoin though as i'd gained loads despite my best intentions and couldnt face having to lose the gain and then start losing iyswim?

know that feeling well, i have breakfast but sometimes not till midday lol started back tonight at 16st 9.5lbs. think i was 13st 13 when last got weighed officially so OMG cos was 18st 7 day before had kathryn!

Start Weight = 16st 9.5lbs Club 10 = 15st 0.5lb PAT = 11st 9lbs Here goes!

yep! but the winner is announced in january

rejoined tonight so my 7lb challenge has now started! bring it on

for miss slinky you just fill in a questionairre for ur consultant and a before and after pic. SW HQ will decide the winner who then gets to go to birmingham next november

I'm joining again on Thursday after having my baby. I could have left it till after Christmas but figured I could be 7lbs lighter in January if I rejoin but 14lbs heavier if I go back in January. I'm having my 105 syns over the week so can cutback some days and have more on others :0)

i'm really looking forward to 4:30 on thursday when i rejoin my old group again after having my baby! hubby thinks its sad that i'm so excited but oh well!

Am joining on Thursday after having baby so hopefully will be 7lbs lighter by the end of the month Shellystar x x :party0011:8lbs to lose for New Year eve ( 0lbs lost : 8lbs to lose ) ColJack - 14lbs ( 0lbs lost : 14lbs to lose ) mummymoo - 7lbs (olbs lost : 7lbs to lose)

they are on sale until the consultant runs out! mine have best before april 2011 on them so will be selling them til then or when they sell out (hopefully the latter)

definately an 18 and i was an 18 in 'normal' sizes too so was quite lucky. as soon as i saw my stomach disappear under that dress i knew it was the one! My height does help a bit but i still felt fat in the runup to the wedding i lost 3stone to get into that too

heres me in my size 18 wedding dress! at the time i said i was fat but i think i scrubbed up well!!! Just do your best and remember that sometimes wedding dress sizes are even weirder than normal sizes and you could end up with one 3 sizes bigger or smaller than you actually are!

thats great! i'm starting back to group next thursday after my check up. was doing ok on my own for couple of weeks but gone up again cos havent got the fear factor of the scales

thanks, would have thanked ur posts but cant for some reason

what did you do in the end?

yey someone replied! was beginning to think i was gonna be a bit of a billy

any of the davina macall ones

if you want to keep your previous loss then i think its £14.95 but if you want to start again then you can use whatever offer is on at the moment

do what we've done and join up! we have all 4 groups on the leaflets and then double up on the posters etc etc we still do the required amount so each group gets even more advertising. In January 12,000 leaflets will go out

glad its working for you! i did all the prongs but didnt get the magic 25 either! But then there is 2 groups on a monday, 1 on a tuesday, 1 on a wednesday plus mine and 1 on a thursday in the same area so no wonder really! I'm trying for the magic 50 this month so can take over another...

I got down to 13st 7lbs from 15st 7lbs then got pregnant and ballooned up to 18st 7lbs. Our daughter is a month old ob Friday and I'm planning on returning to my old sw group when we've both had our 6 week check ups. I'm down to 16st 4lbs now and weigh in on Thursdays. My target weight is 11st...

I'll be rejoining group at the beginning of December after having our 1st child but am still planning on having Christmas Day off plan to the point that I won't be going mad but I certainly won't be measuring and counting syns. It'll be the first Christmas that I've done this as usually I lose...

the chicken tikka masala and all the extras is just over your daily allowance and is very filling, I can't remember how many exactly but 18syns is in my head. I couldn't eat it all when i had it so counted it as 15syns

i was told they were 15 syns!!!!!!

i'm a mummy! kathryn was born on 15th october and after a week in hospital is doing ok even if she is wearing outher mummy and daddy and i've lost 2stone 2lb since she was born :0)

i was like that at my first class although i went and got lighter weights rather than struggle through. It doesn't take long to move up the weights though

after hubby treated me to a personal shopper at debenhams for christmas last year i am putting £1 in a jar for every lb I lose, then when I get to each 1/2stone I'm going to put in £5 and for each stone £10. By the time I get to target I should have a decent amount to go buy new clothes with the...

thanks! unfortunately i gained all the weight back, lost it again, got pregnant and gained it all back again! Counting down to my latest attempt now

its great! i did all 3 of the workouts just once a week in teh run up to my wedding and boy did it help!

samba di amigo game if you have a wii or davina 3x30 minute workout - the cardio box workout although the other 2 workouts are great too

I like Long Tall Sally and Next for tops as i have a long body! I tend to get basic tops that cover my back from there and then buy jumpers from Primark, New Look etc in their normal sizes to go over the top. I love the Next VIP sale and the Long Tall Sally one is quite good too

only just seen this. I'm just doing what needs to be done right now which is keeping my feet up as the hospital have said i'm borderline pre-eclampsia and could be induced at any minute. on a sw note i've managed to lose 2lbs this week :D

we're having the party etc in group and i have told my members after that there is not going to be another mention of christmas (other than referring back to their wishes) until the end of november

if you buy this weeks Bella Magazine then you save £10 and only pay for your meeting fee so a 12 week countdown would cost £49.50 and you'd get your free and amazing christmas cookbook for free. The free cookbook is only in October though

thanks but still doesn't work :0( will have to give up now as its taken me 2 hours so far!

i cant even get the website to load let alone put in a pin! I don't need one cos i'm a consultant and am trying to get into the consultants only bit that you access from the homepage! can someone post a link so that i can try that way to get in as me putting the address in isnt working nor is...

i can't and need to do my figures for the month :cry:

its been out in group for 4 weeks with 2 more to go so she might have run out as I have only got about 4 left myself. Its still only £1.95 in group too

if your bmi is under 25 (as yours is) then you can drop by 3lbs but if its over 25 it has to be 7lbs. If your at the bottom of your target then this is another 4lbs as it goes by your original target and not your bottom of target weight

please do fill in a food diary cos i had a lady join a couple of weeks who gained in her first week and swore blind she had stuck to it! It was only cos she had filled in a food diary that I could look and see she was having 1 of each hex in the book (1xcheese, 1xmilk, 1xcereal, 1xbread etc)...

the password will still work but only for another couple of weeks and then you have to use the pin given to you at group

i think the blue for regionals and save the red for the grand final in birmingham!

i've given up now! although i haven't been off plan i haven't been on it either. I gained more when I was trying to be good then when I wasn't. Looking at about 4stone gain and counting at the moment although a lot ofpeople keep telling me 1stone of that will be baby and another stone should...

just keep reading reading and rereading your book and ask any questions you may have!

thats great news, especially about the countdown, now theres no stopping you for the next 12 weeks!

i was gonna say a lot of my members have been teh same as you and then got on scales to lose 7lbs+ well done!

the consultant will go through it all in the first half an hour of the meeting then you join the other members who will have already weighed in. IMAGE therapy takes place then (IMAGE Therapy - Group Support - Slimming World) After that you'll be signed up and weighed in by your consultant...

the best way to find out about becoming a consultant is to go to an opportunity event which your consultant will let you know about when the next one comes up.

Benefit counters do this too and if you buy 2 products you then get offered a make up lesson where they do half your face and you do the other half. They do even you up though before you leave!

the first time i did SW i GAINED weight 4 weeks in a row and gave up. Then when I went back the 2nd time I realised it was because the first consultant had never really explained the plan to me properly and the group wasn't very inspiring (full of grannies who gained most weeks and saw it as a...

there was someone like that at my group and it annoyed me but only because she NEVER brought in anything for the basket/tasters etc and then sat there waiting for it to be announced it was her! The weeks it wasn't her she had a right face on her. On the xpressweigh its all worked out for the...

same as usual when you are pregnant. They only increase if your breastfeeding

and cheaper! with gastric band surgery costing an average of 7k that would be 1415 weekly weigh ins or 27years and 11 weeks!

i used to have a couple of dulcoease the night before weigh in. works well

it would probably be cheaper! the books range from £2.95-£4.95 -£9.99 for the hardback ones but go for double or triple that on ebay! :eek:

read, read and reread the pack you get given and stick to it! Stay to group as often as you can too as it will keep you on track and you'll meet new people who will very quickly become friends as well as find out about new foods etc you should take an extra £1.95 with you as you'll find the...

have just checked the choose success book and it says you have to lose a minimum of 7lbs.

i used to be a 7/8 but now I can get in anything from size 5s to 8s depending on the style

curry heaven and one pot wonders i'd say! I have them all but use the extra easy one the most

you have to have a form signed by the midwife to say you can continue sw (you get this from the consultant in group) The midwife then sets you your targets and the sw consultant helps you stick to them. Unfortunately there are no extra healthy extras unless you are breastfeeding

yes you have to lose a minimum of 7lbs when you join

definitely lots of speed and superspeed foods, water and free foods.

If the member has said don't speak to me then the consultant shouldn't but if they don't then we have to assme that we can say it.

yes we are! however it should be done in a way as to not upset the member i.e x has lost xlbs so far, clap, but had a gain of xlb this week. Then attempt to find out whats gone wrong so as to turn it around for the following week. the only exception to this is if the member has told the...

i always wait till i know that i've had a gain anyway and then swop to my winter trousers

i'd go for the hotel they arrange for you cos its such a long day. We travelled there for a 9am start and didnt finish till gone 6 the first day, then was up and back at HQ for 8:30 day 2. the hotel is literally a 2 minute drive away with a pool that is really refreshing after all that training

not long at all :) will definitely still be hanging around otherwise i'll have way too much to catch up on when I get back lol

huge congrats! maybe we'll meet one day at HO? That photo in your jeans is gonna make a great editorial!

i noticed the date but only cos i was thinking halloween already!

... since deciding 3 weeks enough was enough I have been sticking to plan and am now 7lbs heavier than I was :eek: I wasn't gaining this much when I wasn't sticking to it! So am giving up till after baby is here now. Still gonna keep my blog going though

I'd definitely go with having an extra healthy extra. My fave is a healthy extra of milk and some crusha sugar free milkshake mix. Its only 0.5syn for the milkshake mix but remember to measure it

the first competition i did was top target member and when i presented the sash, sticker, certificate and the pen (i forgot about the pen before) they all said oooh we've never had these before. Since then theres been quite a few things happen that never happened before

I'm a consultant running 2 sessions and have men in both my groups, in fact in the second session one of them is my shopkeeper/raffle ticket seller. The group I go to as a member also has lots of men in them and I find they get as much encouragement, if not more than the women. Some...

£7.95 and the current one is the 2010 one. They usually come out in January now as thats when the Extra Easy plan came in and they revamped everything

right now i'd eat what you need to, to feel better and then get back on track when your feeling up to it! I should take my own advice butI feel its too late to try and get back on the wagon now

if you was in my group you'd get a sash, certificate and a sticker BUT as you all know not all consultants do the little extras.

its all to do with the correct amount of calcium/fibre. If you split them then you may not be getting the correct amounts. I always say if your losing weight then its fine but as soon as you stop losing then stop doing it

the toilets are even better now as they've been done up recently! we took the 1 guy in there cos he didnt believe what they were like! oh and the criteria for woman of the year to go through to the district finals you need to have lost a minimum of 3stone and be a certain weight for your...

i got to target with ww, met now hubby and gained it back. tried it 3 more times without more success then swapped to sw. would never go back now!

i'm a consultant and every week work out the averag weightlosses of people who stay and people who lose. the people who stay ALWAYS lose at least double that of those who leave early and usually more than double

how did you get on maxine?

just asked hubby and he says the food stalls are pretty similar to v so you should be ok, just have a good look at whats availiable before deciding what to go for!

a great consultant makes all the difference

we had sweet and sour chicken with noodles and extra veg (cheated and used a jar but still within my syns)

you can defo use the wii without the board. I love samba di amigos! great for the old bingo wings and gets you out of breath too if you stand up and have a boogie at the same time, which you will without realising it!

there are loads of taste nights cos they usually go with the competition nights unless your in a really good group who do them more often. I've made up a quark 'cheesecake' to take. 1. dissolve 2 options hot choc (i used white choc) and a satchet of gelatine in a mug of hot water 2. whisk 2...

i've given up almost now! have gained 4lbs in 2 weeks and thats with making a conscious effort to stick to plan. Have decided i'm just gonna rejoin as soon as i can. I still go to the meetings each week as i weigh everyone so i'm getting the support etc its just me that can't do it at the moment!

I'm a consultant of 4months! I can't pm you as I haven't posted enough yet but just wanted to share my interview! They asked me about my journey, how I coped with gains, sts, what plan you followed and why, what did I do when I strayed off plan etc. Then they asked me about my day job and...

my brother had a similar problem but with him though the safety bar wouldn't go down so after shifting him and his also large friend around they decided it was my brother and got him off. Hwas quite relieved about as he decided he didnt want to go on it afterall but didnt want to chicken out...

take a look at this thread too http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-eating-out/161769-soon-festival-what-eat.html

yup! I'm on the same team of consultants as Fiona!

definitely! and a lot since i was last here! I was size12wannabe then though

I'm Helen and I go to Jenny's group on Thursday in Boston. Nearest matches so far are in Lincoln about 45 minutes drive away. I also go to Wyberton on a Wednesday night but I have to as I run it :)

some numbers take up more space on the machine so the .5 doesn't show up but it does on the pda thingy

thanks for that! now why didnt i think to google it. d'oh

hi everyone, was hoping someone could tell me how to put a link into my signature so it says 'my food diary' and 'my blog' instead of the long link. Its something to do with codes either side of the link but I can't for the life of me remember what the codes are. Thanks in advance

it can also be a case of finding the right plan for your body. Some people can't manage a lot of meat, some can't manage a lot of pasta etc. Stick with it cos it'll work out in the end and as everyone has said you've lost that fab 5.5lbs in 3 weeks which is great

if your a cereal fan then you can get that at V fest too! And there are milkshake bars around too that i'm sure would sell you some milk if you didnt want the syns of the milkshake as well

when you click on 'my journey' on the left hand side is some links, one of which is 'set pat'. Click that and then you may need to scroll down a bit and its on the right hand side

Friday B: weetabix (HEXB), strawberries, skimmed milk (HEXA), 200ml glass apple juice (5) S:1/2 melon L: chicken stir fry and noodles that was gonna have for tea last night. S: don't think i'll need one after that lot but theres loads fruit in if I do. T: Homemade burgers, sw chips, bacon...

Woman’s Own magazine which goes on sale on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010, but has the date August 9th, 2010 on it will have a voucher for you to take to group so you'll pay just £4.95 in your first week. The vouchers are valid till August 17th

Thursday B: 2 weetabix, strawberries, skimmed milk S: apple L: noodles, veg and fish S: grapes and apple T: meant to be chicken stir fry but hubby didnt want that and called the pizza place - my will power didnt win i'm afraid still at least i managed a syn free day up till then! S: rest of...

Wednesday was a complete write off after waking up full of cold. All I ate was crusty bread and Lurpack Light

a cafe where i live does have a slimming world menu and if you show her your sw card you get a discount too! She's a member so did it as a trial when she joined and it was a huge success. The jacket potato place also weighs out your cheese and cooks mushrooms etc in frylight if you tell them...

ask to be setup as a 'forgotten member' when you go to the new class. It does take a while so might be best to contact the new comsultant and ask if you can go a bit earlier so you don't hold up everyone. All your details are then transferred over to the new consultant

I stopped getting officially weighed cos of the stress but now i think i'm at the point of thinking about loosing it after baby is born and thinking if I can limit the gain over the next few weeks i'll be happy if that makes sense? I'm not gonna stress bout it though as no point in doing that...

Thanks. I'm actually looking forward to it although am sure I'll have a huge headache in a couple of days!

After my shock this morning here goes my attempt to not gain too much more in the 11 (maybe less) weeks I have left ... Tuesday B: 2 weetabix(HEB), 200ml skimmed milk (HEA will have rest milk later), 8 HUGE strawberries quartered S: melon and grapes L: 1/2 packet bbq chunky chicken (free...

yeah i'm 29 weeks pregnant. Last time I got weighed officially I was about 5 weeks pregnant and had a huge gain despite being good that my consultant just said ah well it'll come off next week. Made me stress about SW then so midwife signed me off. Thought I'd been sticking to it fairly well...

v fest at stafford is great for us on sw! every year i've been i've come back with a loss or a maintain. I make sure I go round the whole festival and check out what there is rather than just go straight to the first place i see. They have loads of noodle bars/jacket potato stalls and even...

... and I'm 16st 10lb, a gain of 2 stone since I found out I was pregnant:cry: I dunno where its come from as I thought I was sticking to plan fairly well with the exception of not measuring healthy extras and not counting syns (although I've only been having the 2 and didnt think I was having...

yes the strawberry ones are limited edition ones. I could eat the choc mint ones till they came out my ears but don't buy them very often for that reason. Hubby loves the lemon ones

at my group you'd have got it still so tell your consultant when she gets back and i'm sure she'll sort it for you

I'm aiming for a size 12 rather than a weight although I think that'll be somewhere between 11st 7 and 12st

you need to fill in a form and then give it to the consultant who will send it off for you then 10 weeks later you will be able to use the free week voucher as long as you lose more weight or maintain it. The voucher and letter normally arrives a bit sooner than the 10 weeks though

it took me about 6 months to get points out my head and now i can't remember any of them apart from the 0.5 for an apple that I can now eat as many as I want lol

1 lady at my group has been coming for 7 years, 5and a half of those at Target. She never misses a week and is great to have in group. As for lowering your target if your bmi is 20-25 you don't have to reset target to 7lbs below your original target you can change it by whatever you want to

wow well done for sticking to sw whilst pregnant. I haven't but saying that I haven't gone back to my old ways of eating, I couldn't for 1 thing cos it makes me ill eating certain things which is good. Am pleased only gained just over a stone and can't wait to get fully back on track after...

Also count backwards from what you set as your flexi syns as usually you don't end up 'spending' them all and then can feel good knowing you didnt need them all

I'm Helen and started SW in 2008, am off plan at the mo as I'm pregnant but still go to class each week. Running my own group is also keeping the excess lbs off and I can't wait to get back on plan 100% after our baby is born in October. I had lost 1lb short of 2and a half stone but then...
