thankyou smileyshazza.

i was starting to worry i'd killed the thread. :) i know i'm not going to lose loads but was kind of hoping that as the baby grew the weight would swop as it were, my weight for it's. does that make sense? so basically i'd actually stay the same. Although i'm only 5 weeks so i wasn't really...

Can anyone tell me if doing slimming world while you're pregnant actually works? i've been really good this last week and nothing.

Hi everyone, congratulations to you all, hope everything is going ok. Clear blue confirmed this morning that i'm pregnant, is my second. gained 4 stone with my first pregnancy and although he's now 2 1/2 still have over 1 stone of my baby weight to lose. really want to stick to sw and manage to...

What time of day were you testing? I'm wondering if i'm doing mine too early in the day.

WOW that's a good price. Are they easy to use and read??

I'm going through this at the moment. I tried the clear blue ones and the tesco's own. I can't afford £20 for clearblue just for negative results, and Tesco's are also saying negative so now worrying that i'm not ovulating or in your words have a crap body. :) debt dummy which brand did you use...

I did the same kind of thing last week, although mine lasted the whole week. I wanted to lose 2 1/2 lb to make it to my first stone beore my hols next week, Have been weighing myself at home and showing a gain but am waiting for my proper weigh in on thursday. Like the others said rein it in and...

i don't understand why would you have to pay for being under target??? i can understand if you had to lose weight but what's wrong if you weigh a little less??

it's a sw recipe i'm assuming it's cause chicken has less fat than pork. Thank you everyone i'll give them a try and let you know how they turn out.

as i haven't tried making it yet, i wouldn't know the difference, i could try it with turkey mince. Has anyone actually made them?

i hadn't thought of that. that's a good idea. thanks

Not sure where this is supposed to go. I want to try and do those scotch eggs with the chicken mince, but i can't find chicken mince anywhere. I've looked at tesco, sainsburys and asda does anyone have an idea where i can get some. I know i can go to butcher and will do if i have to but trying...

I'm the same, i'm bad with temptation anyway but when i'm stressed i'm even worse.

In devon the worst thing is going to be the alcohol although i want to try and stick to 1 glass a night. We're not planning on eating out as we can't afford it as we'll be doing a lot of that in Greece. In greece i've planned to get a load of fresh fruit in so i can have that in the mornings...

thanks sinbad120

thanks shell y

even though i know i'll have gained am feeling ashamed already, having it said in front of everybody:hide:. I want to go... i'm finishing the wine tonight so i have none left for the rest of the week. (lol not sure if that's good or bad:D) have planned everything for devon as much as i can...

i wouldn't worry, so far today i've had scrambled eggs and bacon on nimble toast, lunch at a greek restaurant and finished off my son's mcdonalds. I'm also on my second glass of wine. I gave up counting syns for today.

My hubby was away last week, i thought that would make my dieting easier but no i was absolutely awful, so i thought ok i can be really good this week and go to weigh in on thursday (couldn't go last week as had the child) and be happy with a sts, however, i'm finding it really difficult to...

yeay 4lb, thanks fish week. :-) xtannyxx...60lbs to lose...loss so far...4lbs dudette2001uk...28lbs to lose...loss so far: 1.5lb Moomintrolljen...35lbs to lose...loss so far: 1lbs Hannah2...35lbs to lose...loss so far: 5 lbs Lynsey2510....40lbs to lose.....loss so far: 1.5lbs...

Yeay 4lbs, and got slimmer of the week. definatley going to do this again when it starts slowing down. so chuffed.

It's my wi tomorrow as well, so will update tomorrow night. Have to admit i prefer my morning weight to the normal 19:15 wi time. :-)

ok, i've done four days fish so far, (lunch and dinner) stepped on the scales tonight and only seem to have lost 1 lb. i know, i know i shouldn't weigh myself but i can't help it. have to admit i'm going to be really annoyed if i don't really lose anything after a week of fish. Those of you...

i would have thought it would be updated quite regularly at least as often as they changed their healthy extra options. Is there a contact number/e-mail for them? i can't remember.

I haven't tried it yet, but it is supposed to boost the weight loss from what i've been told.

I tend to not use many during the week so that i can have a glass of wine or two over the weekend.

That can be a big thing, if you have more than the healthy option amount, it counts as syns.

i'm trying the fish (in wholemeal breadcrumbs) and chips tomorrow, Sunday i'm doing crab cakes (does that still count as fish???) i'm going to try the tuna and sweetcorn fritters at somepoint, they shouldn't be too bad cause he doesn't mind tuna so much. i'm going to do the crab and angel hair...

The fish pie was yummy too. even hubby enjoyed it.

Wow Capricorn that's great. As i said earlier i really enjoyed my first fish lunch. have got some more for tomorrow. Haven't done the sw fish pie yet, first time tonight. Prawns would be pushing it with my oh he really hates them.

Mine too. i've not been giving him fishy lunches but he will have the evening meals. But he hates fish, he is moaning about it but am trying to do stuff he might like, such as the fish pie (without the prawns cause i'm not that mean) tomorrows fish and chips. i'm doing tuna and sweetcorn...

Basically it depends how intense you want it to be, some people have had fish 3 times a day all week, but i'm only doing lunch and dinner. Some of the people on here have done it and lost loads. Another thread to read about it is My fishy week, loads of comments on there. (plus fish is really...

I'm hoping so as i had a sts this week. Just keep going, you've done really well so far.

Well this is my first attempt at a fish week, i was going to try it anyway after seeing the results from other people on here, and after this weeks sts it's a definate goer. my first fishy meal of trout and potato salad was really lush, And fish pie planned for tonight. Just wanted to know...

i double checked with the c yesterday, a different one from normal. She said that sw say it's with everymeal but if you do it over the day that should be fine as well.

sts this week :cry: xtannyxx...60lbs to lose...loss so far...4lbs dudette2001uk...28lbs to lose...loss so far: 2lb Moomintrolljen...35lbs to lose...loss so far: 1lbs Hannah2...35lbs to lose...loss so far: 2lbs Lynsey2510....40lbs to lose.....loss so far: 1.5lbs Laura...70lbs to lose..loss...

well done. That's great, it is motivating when that happens.

wow that's fantastic, well done.

Well done, so pleased for you. Am hoping for the same tomorrow, although think i'm going to sts. Those dreaded scales have read the same all week. (but then they did that last week and the wi scales showed -2 so fingers crossed.)

That sounds lush, how did you do the double cheesy pasta bake???

The fact it feels so wrong is also what makes it so much more enjoyable.:)

don't give up yet, Sometimes it takes a little bit of time for your body to sort itself out. Give it a few weeks where you're making sure you check all syn amounts and measuring xtras and see what happens. I know what you mean, it never is easy, i went as far as doing lighter life (a few years...

i tend to have chicken pasta with cucumber, toms, onions with tesco light choices salad dressing. is yummy.

Try not to worry, if you have sts, maybe you should do a food diary so you know exactly what your having. Have a look through the books again, are you weighing all your healthy extras? Having enough s/free?

I got up to 18 st when i was pregnant with my son. Don't worry too much about the weight while your pregnant but just having more s/free veg and fruit will be really good for you both anyway and cutting the fat off meat. Just enjoy being pregnant

Apparently the password changes weekly.My group one does and i'm sure i read it somewhere on the website.

I lost 5.5 in my first week, 2 in my second. My friend weighed on wii showed 2lb loss at wi she'd only lost 1/2lb she was gutted. If you're going to weigh at home may be worth investing in some good scales.

Well done that's a fantastic start.

Just had a quick look on the website and it only seems to show you what you can buy from the group. Which doesn't seem fair. I'm assuming the site isn't different for online members and group members. Might be worth looking up the consultant from your local group and asking if you can get hold...

i think i'll have to talk to her again. Thankfully i'm making sure i have loads of superfree anyway. But then my c also said that my friend's body couldn't have gone into "starvation mode" when she was hardly eating anything but fruit all week wasn't having any healthy a's or b's or any syns...

My C said it was over the day. I was asking her this last week cause i was worried about the same thing. Obviously the more you have the better, but mostly the evening meal. If you know you're going to have something that doesn't have any s/free in the evening then make sure you have more...

that's true Madamelaminx. I do want to try these, will let you all know what they're like.

how can it be 26 syns for 30 if it's 1 syn each????:confused:

it's on the slimming world website here you go. Scan Bran Ferrero Rocher Syns: 26 Syns for 30, 1 Syn each You will need: 8 Scan Bran 4 level tbsp Nutella 1 level tbsp Golden Syrup 1 tbsp water Method...

oooh that's a good idea.

Yeah my c said you can just go to other groups if can't make hers. Don't panic if you have gained, Just go back to basics, it'll soon drop off again.

i am always skint so i know what it's like. Only been doing it a couple of weeks so don't know that many. I've tried the burger and chips tonight, needed to add more seasoning i think but the chips were nice. I also enjoyed the jacket potato with sweetcorn, used ham instead of tuna with light...

Apparently some of the recipes made with them are nice. am going to buy some this week and try the feror rocher (apologies for spelling) But then i think anything with nutella on it must be lush.

Am the same, we have my step son at weekends so weekends can be unpredictable. I try to plan, sometimes works sometimes doesn't.

hmmm, sounds interesting. i'll be trying a fish week as from next wi if no good will try the se. Is it not as filling then?

i saw them too, haven't tried any yet though. But love the fact Tatziki can be free with the 0% total.

well done capricorn that's an excellent result. Will be doing a fishy week from friday next week, hubby doesn't like fish much so is going to be fun. But hoping for a result like yours.

Thanks everyone, i'll get some and try it. I'm intrigued by the ferro rocher idea. love the originals.

haha ooh i like that :-) Thankfully she doesn't mutter at me in greek cause i wouldn't understand it, but you get those heavy silences. Thankfully as hubby is also sort of doing this with me neither of us had the chocolate trifle. i think that was the hardest thing i've ever had to do...

Can anyone tell me what scan bran is actually like, My C was trying to get me to buy some the other day by telling me how wonderful the cakes are with it. What is it actually like and are the recipes any good? Or is it just cause we buy it from her?:rolleyes:

Hello and goodluck. I only joined a few days ago and have found really good advice, and fantastic support already.

What does success express entail???

Oh pizza hut, with the salad (usually coleslaw and potato salad) the garlic bread and chicken wing starter and then a cheesy bites pizza. (at least this was for 3 1/2 people to share but still) then of course it'd be the dessert. I don't even want to think about either the calories or the syns.

Lurverick, You have done so well to have lost so much in only 17 weeks. It's natural for your body to need time occasionally to settle itself. how many weeks have you sts??

i'm looking forward to getting back into those clothes i've kept just incase i get back down to that size. To not be embarrassed when i'm out and about. To be able to keep up with my son without being selfconcious about how much i'm bouncing. To be able to buy clothes without the added 1-2...

How can i explain to a greek mother in law that lamb and mint kebabs, garlic bread, salad with loads of parmesan cheese and chocolate trifle are not good for the diet. thankfully she also did corn on the cob and gammon steaks. :sigh:

well done for both 1/2 lb and 1/2 stone.

Thanks MadameLaMinx, don't mind twice in 1 day don't think i could do breakfast as well.

silly question but the fish weeks i assume that's fish for both lunch and dinner.

Thanks Krissybaby, am determined to stay good. will see what happens next week.

2lbs, first 1/2 stone gone. am pleased to have lost that as those dreaded scales said sts before i left. But still a bit disappointed it wasn't more as it was my first full week and thought i'd been really good. I got Slimmer of the week as well. i was happier about that than the 2 lbs. :-)

Thanks Krissybaby, think i'm getting way too worried about it all. Just been weighing myself in different clothes how bad is that. will see what happens tonight and talk to my councillor.

i did see that but got confused when it started talking about changing the numbers. (doesn't take much to confuse me when it's about computer stuff.)

It's daft my hubby knows my weight but i still can't step on the scales in front of him. It took me a long time to actually tell him my weight. He's not the most supportive of people about my size but is trying to be supportive with the diet, and i got a "cool" when i told him how much i lost...

i'm sure it'll be fine. am thinking of having the odd red or green day during the week to see if that helps. This time tomorrow i'll know. Princess Tigerlily how did you get the slimmer of the week award on there, other posts said you have to have done 50 posts???

thank you.

Too true.

Thankyou MadameLaMinx daft thing i am didn't go far enough down. :-) how do you put the mini goals on? (as you can tell new to this today.)

Sounds stupid but i put the wrong amount of lbs on my current weight (used to dealing in stones.) How do i change it i can't seem to find it.:confused:

i'm addicted to my scales, sometimes even weigh myself morning and night. I know weight regularly changes but can't seem to stay off them.

do you have all your 5-15 syns a day?? I've only just joined minimins today, how do you do the extra bits on your threads such as the aims and week losses?

Been doing sw for just under 2 weeks, lost 5 1/2 in week 1 but don't seem to have lost much this week (on my scales) Don't tend to have a lot of syns each day, can it really effect the weight loss?:confused:
