Hi all, I was fortunate in that I didn't get any nausea, though like Najh I was told to take it on top of food, so not sure but maybe that prevented it. It has now been 14 and a half weeks since I had a ciggie, and 6 weeks since I stopped taking the Champix. I don't miss it at all and am so...

Hi Echoburning, When you asked that question I had to think 'Are there any men in my group' as I hadn't thought about it. There are usually one or two in my fairly small group of 10 or 12, but honestly, I never thought about their gender. I would definitely go along to a class if I was...

I should do the same! I am very very very naughty when it comes to the scales.

Hi Raachel, I can relate! I lost 1lb in my first, depsite being a saint in the eating and exercising department. I felt gutted, but everyone on here was really lovely and supportive. Anyway, the next week I lost 3lb, even though I hadn't been doing much exercise due to a knee injury. Keep...

Thanks Lucylupin - I'll give them a try - I keep hoping that when I do a wee my ankles will go down!

Help! Yesterday afternoon my ankles starting swelling and are now rather huge (for nearly 24 hours now!). I went to the pharmasist as I've never had this problem before (even during my pregnancies) and she said it was likely to be water retention but I would have to go to my doctor for proper...

Hi Christie, I am a terrible scale sneaky-peaker! And in my first week my weight seemed to be going all over the place on the scales at home - up and down, left right and centre. I lost more in my second week than my first, even though I felt I had been 'better' in my first week (I did a...

Couscous is my new best friend. I have a packet in my drawer at work and some stock cubes and soya sauce. Makes a tasty and filling snack with that alone - just boil the kettle and bob's yer uncle! I also buy some frozen salmon fillets and microwave it at home in the morning before I go to...

Thank you so much for your messages - love the poem, and you are right Say - I am one of those people who eat healthily prior to Slimming World but just indulge in a dorito or two too many whilst having a glass or two of wine too many on a night or two too many! So glad to have found this...

Hello both. Thanks for your replies - I probably shouldn't have put 'only' a pound! I think I had set myself up to believe that I will lose more in the first week and was hoping for between 4-6lbs, hence the disappointment. You know what it's like when you're all excited and think 'whoo...

Hello - I am so disappointed as I had my first weigh in last night and had only lost one pound. I have honestly been sticking to the diet properly and have also been out running five times this week. As it's my first weigh in as well, I thought I would lose more in my first week, hence the big...

Hello, I am new to SW and went to my first meeting on Monday. I was completely surprised at how friendly the consultant was and the other members of the group. I feel incredibly motivated but am still unsure that I will lose any weight, although I am sticking to the plan without any problems...
