    My binge trigger

    Thanks ladies for your support,not as weepy today BUT am determined not to let food take over my life yet once more! Had a chat to my boss today who said the worst that could happen is a final written warning (which is better than being sacked). He did also say nobody in the management line...

    My binge trigger

    I have been on the plan for 12 weeks and can honestly say I have never been hungry, only ever put weight on once due to a birthday party. I have been controlling what I eat and thoroughly enjoyed it. Why, then do I sabotage my efforts when something I can't control sends me into eating...

    Going to group is becoming a chore not a pleasure

    Classes are strange , due to a change in work pattern had to change evenings, same venue, same leader but the class is so different..... the current class has a weird mix of people including the obligatory moaner, the ones that laugh and cchatter when it's not one of their friends being...

    Bumblebums Last Chance Saloon Diary!

    We had the mixed grill out of the new magazine, the chips were lovely :-) I made a SW friendly pizza using instant mash as the base, it was yummy. Hubby preferred the base over normal pizza, I could have had more cheese on BUT that is what got me to where I am :-( How did the bike ride go , hope...

    Bumblebums Last Chance Saloon Diary!

    I know what you mean , I shared a bottle of wine with my friend which I enjoyed (especially the company) but I did think about what I could be having instead......in my case cheese and crisps.........mmm cheese

    Nigel, thanks for the recipes. It is one of the many things I love about SW you can cook and not rely on ready meals. Going to try the curry on the family tomorrow , will let you know if it gets the thumbs up !

    Syns - Daily or Weekly?

    Many moons ago when I did SW, they used to say you can save you syns , when I asked why they don't tell you that any more,I was told by a member that they can't be seen to condone binge drinking, as that is what many people save them up for.

    Slimming World Website

    It did it to me a couple of weeks ago, racking my brains to remember what I did..... I think in the part of the web site you can access there is a FAQ for what to do if it keeps returning to the log in place. I use chrome and whatever it told me to do worked......hope that makes sense LOL;)

    Taller Slimmers!

    I am 5ft 10 size 18/20. I loathe clothes shopping, New look used to have a brilliant "inspire range" that was in only some of their stores, but they seem to be limiting the range. Sainsbury's seem to be skimpier than Tesco's on sizing. Simply be, the catalogue is good but can be pricey. Evans, I...

    oh no - feel like making myself sick!!!!!

    Aww Put this behind you , it was a ripple(not the chocolate type) in the ocean. Remember how you feel with yourself for the next time you feel a binge coming on,it might put you off. Tomorrows another day, good luck.

    Slimming world app!

    So do I , the amount of times i have been in a supermarket and deliberated syns is untrue! Plus when I forgot my lunch and Boots is the nearest quickest option! I know the book is handy but a bit on the large side for carrying in my work handbag.

    xenical and slimming world

    I was given them by my doctor , to be honest didn't lose a pound on them . I got after effects once after a BBQ but I felt bloated whilst taking them. Admittedly I wasn't doing slimming world at the time was loosely following Rosemary Connelly which is low fat). How much did you lose when you...

    Extra Easy Can u really eat as much as you want of the free food???

    I find I am not as hungry due to having to think about what to eat. For instance lunch at work ,used to be a calorific sandwich then when I got home I would grab a slice of bread, slab of cheese and a couple of biscuits whilst cooking tea. Now I have a huge portion of rice salad etc and I am not...

    Upset by comment - Am I being over sensitive??

    Men don't think like women or so my husband says, he probably thought he was being amusing without malice. I would ponder on it , resolve to lose my weight and store it up for future reference( another thing my hubby says men don't do LOL)

    Don't give up , I would go back to EE. OP are right in saying don't compare yourself to anybody else , everybody has a different make up.

    Who doesn't stay to group?

    I stay to class, I went on my own but have been made welcome by everybody. I like listening to everybody's progress and am thankful they are a positive group with loads of ideas. Having said that I have been to different slimming classes and it's been truly awful.

    What to expect from the meetings please?

    After reading you messages, I am glad I have a fantastic consultant, nothing is to much trouble. She sends texts during the week, messages on facebook, explains the diet, gives good food advice , encourages cooking from scratch BUT didn't know what Mooli was LOL. I have only been a member for 3...

    Hi everyone, newbie here!

    I lost 3 in the first week , I though it would be more as I have lots to lose. The second week I lost 4 which made it half a stone in 2 weeks. To be honest I am treating any loss as a bonus because I am in it for the long haul(I reckon at least 2 years). I am looking forward to weigh on Monday...

    very controversial I'd say

    Before I started slimming world, I was given Orlistat by my Doctor. I ate low fat just far too much bread etc, it didn't help me other than giving me trapped wind. The only time I had "problems" was when I had gone to a BBQ and because I had, had no mishaps just ate everything, boy did I know...

    Does egg give any one else a tummy ache

    Eggs do exactly the same to me. Constipated and bloated, which is a shame because I do enjoy eating them . Will try peppermint tea for the next few days, then pop int to H&B for oil. Thanks for the info.

    Advice! How much do you lose a week?

    I always lose slowly BUT this time have decided if I lose an average of a lb a week I will have lost it all in under 2 years. Agreed 2 years is along time but have been dieting on and off since my son was born nearly 16 years ago, I think a long term plan is in order,hopefully I won't be...
