So plan is to go back to class tonight!!! Opportunity for some teachers to go to Ghana to build wells with school and also to be part of international summer school to Mauritius!! Would certainly like to go one at least one would love to go on both (but that's just being greedy) :p Would not be...

So I went to Liverpool meet on sat and had a lovely time and now it's time to sort my head out and get back on track!!! I've been feeling rubbish lately and very short tempered- I'm convinced it's because of my weight! I need to lose the weight so I have more energy too - at the min I am so...

Hi :) welcome Good luck with your journey!!! I started back at sw 3 weeks ago, I tried and failed on my own - I need the stickers!!!! Haha My biggest hint is to get the phone app for minimins if u have not already and pop on here all the time!! It is so motivational and any problems u having...

Inset day at school today, brunch provided :$ Was everything you could ever possibly want on a fry up :o I was in queue thinking I'll just have beans, mushrooms, fried egg n bacon n maybe one sausage :EUR well didn't have that... Had scrambled egg, mushroom and bacon!!! Feeling quite happy...

N b v

Well done :) I got a call from my sister in law saying she was going chippy on way home n did I want anything :( They had finished before I got in thankfully!!

Well done everyone, hate that I need to wait until sat for my weigh in :(

Need to try and make these one day soon... Salt & pepper chips Make chips in oven then fry onion a red chilli until soft Add tablespoon of oyster sauce and tablespoon of soy n simmer for about three mins add red salt to chips when out of oven pour over chilli and onion mix :)

Hubby made us chilli for tea :) syn free!! Was very nice :D

That's brilliant :) I am hoping that if I lose weight we will conceive naturally I've been doing pretty good this week after my day off plan at the wedding. Had a lovely tea last night ... Steak with mushroom, onion, broccoli and sweet potato wedges :D was yummy! Been in to work today to...

Trying my best to eat smaller portions :$ Breakfast made 2 boiled eggs, bacon and mushrooms and only are half of it - other half in fridge for later. Lunch- cheese boats Made with ham and quark and served with lettuce and spring onion. Only ate half again :) Gonna have other half for tea...

Thanks :)

What have you put in these? Looks yummy :)

Good luck :) I've been back on SW for 1 week (have done before), hoping I can lose a lot of weight!!

Good luck with your journey :) I started SW last week and had first weigh in Friday - lost 6.5lb :) But got weighed Friday instead of Saturday due to a wedding fri night and must have consumed all weeks syns eating and drinking!! But straight back on it just hope I lose this week!

Could I be added to challenge please :) I know it seems a lot but I want to lose 1 stone - please put me down to lose 14lb :)

Just found this thanks will have a read :)

Just wondering who has tried PM GB? And if you succeeded in losing weight etc? :)

Ahhhhh ok :D Might do that myself have IG but don't really use it :) thanks

Had first weigh in yesterday instead of today - lost 6.5lb :D Had a wedding yesterday and didn't even try to stick to plan :$ uncountable wines and sambuca consumed and food OMG pâté starter, carvery main, cheesecake dessert and sausage and bacon barm with wedges for supper :O not to mention...

Hi all :) Only read about a tenth of the thread but living it, loving how amazing everyone doing and the food diaries are very helpful :D Just a quick question, what is IG?

First weigh in should be Sat but I'm away at a wedding tomorrow night (fri) so won't get back for class. So I am going to get weighed tomorrow, a day early :$ Have been really good today:- Breakfast - fruit n fibre with milk (HEa & HEb) Lunch - salad with bacon, chicken, mushroom, peppers...

That's great :) I have my first weigh in on Saturday :$

That's amazing!!!

Might give it a go next week :)

Maybe half a stone a month? About 2lb a week :D In 13 months will be 6.5 stone!!!

How was it with Philly? Does that increase the syns or do you use it as HEa? I like that it no syns at all :)

Good luck with the end of your pregnancy and birth :o I really hope I am able to buy a nice dress!!! I've been alright these first three days but could have been better, had a sandwich today on white bread :o I'm nervous that I don't have enough people to invite too, but hopefully can make...

Oh my gosh - glad I don't like scotch eggs :p Can't wait until my clothes feel looser!! Have put all my clothes in sizes and in those vacuum bags - looking forward to getting back into some of my old clothes and get rid of these :D

If you half the amount it says then you half the syns yeah ;) Like some recipes might say its 4 syns per portion and serves four and other might tell you whole dish is 16 syns and you have to divide by how many people :)

Chow mein I generally find is the lowest although there are some places that will do food slimming world friendly - I know one in Preston :)

Thanks for your comments :) I was looking today on google images at the most stunning dresses and saved a few to my phone so that if I get a bit fed up can look at them :) Might stick one in the fridge and cupboards too :) Done well so far today had porridge (HEb) and fruit with yogurt - so...

Don't beat yourself up about it as long as today you get back on track you will be fine :)

I've rejoined slimming world today and full of motivation :) You are doing really well so far, well done :)

I'm the same, I say I don't want to buy this in my size now because I want to lose weight but then I end up stating the same! Just today I picked up a top and jacket and put it back again! Hopefully I am going to stay on plan this time so can buy smaller clothes :$

I am a secondary maths teacher so a lot more positions than early years, good luck with your course this year :) I love going to the theatre, went to see Evita with my husband a couple of months ago and it was definitely a squeeze - very uncomfortable throughout! looking forward to going and...

Thanks :) I generally do mostly red days from the old plan which don't have any carbs unless as a healthy extra. You've been doing so well with your weight loss so far :) I love your goals on your signature - one of mine is to fit comfortably in an aeroplane seat next summer :) I wanted to be...

I have been a member of Slimming World on and off since I was about 18! I am now 29 and I am going to be 30 in June next year 2014! I do not want to still be so overweight when I am 30. I am the biggest I have ever been at the moment and decided that it was time I went back to Slimming World, I...

There is a slimming world off topic board and a thread called stickers in there. On my phone so couldn't post a link sorry Jengen

Thank you all for your great posts :) Dr did not give me much information at all was a bit if a waste of time! Was basically told 'the best way to lose weight is to diet and exercise' said to come back in 2 months and if not working will try dieting tablets or something! This forum is so much...

I'm not sure - if it would put baby at risk at all I would not do it. They can be done on NHS but I think there is a strict criteria and I'm not sure what that is? I have always said I'd never do it and didn't even want to take diet pills but when husband mentioned it the other day I thought...

That's what I was thinking- the dr is likely to tell me to start loosing weight before they will do anything and so if I start sw and then hopefully I will have the motivation and will power to continue with it without anything else (other than exercise) I appreciate all the posts and I'm glad...

Your first post was fine I know it's my willpower that will determine I lose weight or not but your second post asking to decided which I want more a baby or a burger was not. It's not what is more important or what is wanted more that is the problem because if it was then I would have stayed...

Thank you :) I am thinking I am going to go back to slimming world Monday class and give it another shot! I will still ask questions at doctors and see what is available for me and just talk it over! I have a bike that I have not used yet (using weather as an excuse) but I'm moving to...

I need to lose over 10 stone about 12/13st I think to get down to a 'healthy' weight but is be happy at a size 14/16 so about 8/9st to lose :$ Not been weighed yet so just estimating from last time and the knowledge that I've put on weight too :$

Morning, I have posted this in slimming world but just wanted some thoughts/advice from people who also have a lot of weight to lose, i have around 10/15st to lose! I have joined and re-joined slimming world many times, probably once a year or every 18 months for the last 8 years! If I follow...

Thanks :) how long you been at sw? How you getting on? I have just got a doctors apt for later today so I will go and just see what they say! :)

Morning :) I'm thinking of going back to sw too! Have joined and rejoined so many times! I also have about 10st or more to lose Good luck x

That's a great idea - there are a few of my nephews dummies lying around I can use :)

That's one of the questions I need to ask the doctor before I even consider the wls. It's not as simple as asking which I want more baby or burger - obv baby!! If it was I would have been slim 4 years ago. I feel down because I can't get pg and am obese and this makes me want to eat then after...

I completely agree! This is why I'm worried about considering gastric band but it is supposed to suppress your appetite and this is my problem and why I fail. I can't stay away from fast food and when I go its not a small order my husband and I get but a ridiculous order that would feed a big...

Morning, I have joined and re-joined slimming world many times, probably once a year or every 18 months for the last 8 years! If I follow the plan it does work but I usually go off track and then leave again! I'm 28 and my husband and I have been trying for a baby for almost 4 years now - I...

Hi Paula, my brother has celiac disease (gluten intolerance) and I have been told to test for it too ( not been yet :$) Slimming world can still be done when u can't have gluten - there is information on the sw website, substitutes for things like pasta can be used in recipes etc Hope you...
