Hi everyone. I am 2 stone heavier than when I got engaged and 4 stone heavier than when I got married :cry: I have been doing slimming world since jan and have lost 2 stone, my engagement ring is becoming really loose, so much so that i've had to put my wedding ring on top of it (I usually...

Hi everyone, can I join the thread?! I started SW in Jan at 18st 8lb and i'm now 16st 7lb. I've maintained a few weeks and gained 1 week so i've not done too badly but think I could have done alot better if I had stuck to plan 100% which I haven't! My weigh in day is a Tuesday so i'm hoping...

I love the sweet & sour mugshot made up and poured over SW chips! Before I started SW I loved pot noodle and chips so this is a great alternative for me, its sooo yummy!

Sometimes, Slimming World head office put syn values on things that are usually free. For example, SW lasagne is free, but when you take lasagne sheets and make them into crisps, this is deemed as abusing free foods and they syn them. Hope this helps x

That sounds like a good idea but head office tend to slap syn values on things like this as they see it as free foods being abused. I'd check with your consultant just to make sure. I've had the crisps you make with lasagne sheets but my SW lady told me not to do it! I have still had them on...

Thanks for the replies. I spoke to the nurse yesterday and she said it can be a side effect so i'm not worried! Vic

Hi, I was on Xenical last year for about 4 months but then stopped taking it. I started again about 2 weeks ago and since then my urine has been fluorescent yellow! It's not glowing in the dark or anything but it is really very bright! Anyone else experience this? Thanks, Vic

Haha, Minx, never thought of the mathematics! I can assure you the piece of cake did not contain 14,000 calories :eek: I think I just needed something to "blame" as it felt like i'd worked my ass off for 2 weeks and then messed it up with cake, and so I was like "it's gotta be the cake...

Hi hun, it's awful when you don't lose much or put it on (in my case) but try not to be too disheartened, it's still going in the right direction. Do your measurements, you might be pleasantly suprised! I am also trying to drink more water, I find that downing a glass before each meal and then...

Thanks girls, I've lost what I put on again now so hopefully it will stay off and more will follow. I just got the shock of my life when I stood on the scales! No more cake for me, it's just not worth it!

I have put 4 lb on in 4 days! :eek: :cry: On saturday I had a very small piece of my brothers birthday cake and thats the only naughty I had. I can't believe this i'm so upset and fed up I was doing so well and was so pleased with myself and now I feel like crap. So now the 8 lbs I had lost...

Hi, Anyone else suffered with constipation? I've been taking xenical for nearly 2 weeks and have been eating low fat foods and drinking loads of water (approx 6-8 glasses a day which is loads for me as I never used to drink any really) The only thing I can think of that could have caused it...

Hiya, Have you thought about making your own smoothie in the morning? If you have a blender it doesn't take long. There are quick options for breakfast, you could have a piece of fruit like a banana first thing or a fat free yoghurt, then have breakfast later on. It takes seconds to demolish a...

Aww, you should be fine hun, I had a cheeky milky way the other day and nothing happened! :)

Hi all, Do you go to the gym or excerise at home? If so what sort of exercises do you do? I go to the gym 3 times a week and do 10 mins on the bike, 20 mins on the cross trainer, 100 crunches on the stomach machine (i'm terrible with the correct terms for the machines) 90 twists on the twisty...

Thanks for the replies! Thankfully I've only had the side effects for 1 day, here's hoping it stays that way!!

Yeah, I see what you mean, I was just thinking about an up coming event and whether or not to take my chances with a chocolate eclair and suffer the consequences :eek: or skip the naughty stuff altogether! Having said that, i've eaten out a few times this week and resisted all naughtyness yay...

Thanks, i've done that x

Thanks for the replies, god you are both doing so well! The tango man, is that what we call it here then? haha. I'm hoping he won't visit again! Quick question - do any of you ever skip taking it if you were going to a party for instance and if so how does that impact on your weight loss?

Hi everyone, hope you are well. My name is Vicky, i'm 31 and mum to 2 boys ages 4 and 10 months. I started xenical last week (mon) and I have lost 5 lbs. I hadn't had any side effects what so ever until today when I had some orange oily no.2 and a bit of an iffy tummy. I go to the gym 3 times...
