Hi, I am a member of our group's social team and I have to agree with Jaylou, I'm loud too but I am very discreet, we DO NOT tell anyone else a member's weight or their gain or loss, if the member wants to tell their friends then thats up to them - if our consultant did the weighing we would...

Hi all, just a quickie note before we set off, after last nites deliberations I went and got weighed and as predicted I gained weight - 4lb - which is not as much as I was expecting.:wave_cry::break_diet: I am now determined to lose that weight this week even though am going away for weekend...

Hi, Welcome to group. I have 8 stone lose lose so there are quite a few of us with larger targets to aim for. All I can suggest is stick to the plan, eat as much free and superfree food as possible BUT always have your syns. Good luck. Michelle xxxxxxxxx

Have decided I need an incentive to lose this excess 8+ stone, and what I would really like is I-Pad, so for every pound I lose I am going to put £1 in a tin as savings and then once I get to my target of 10st I should have approx £120 saved and hopefully my parents and my hubby will pitch in...

TUESDAY 20 JULY 2010 I am fed up of being told what to do, when to do it and how to do it by everyone in my life...then the next minute they want you to stop what you are doing and do something for them - why can't they sort their own f**king issues out and LEAVE ME OUT OF IT AND LET ME LIVE MY...

Weigh in this morning @ 9:15.:eek: Not very confident have tried to switch from Extra Easy to Red this week and have really struggled - with the plan, with wind and constipation and then wind and the runs:jelous: - I feel and look like a barrage balloon as I am so bloated. xxxx

I am still very hot even though we have had lots of rain and its a lot cooler, I am sitting here with sweat running down my face and back, my hair feels like I have just washed it as it is that wet. I know that losing my excess stonage will help but from my memory I have always sweated lots. Its...

RED PLAN - HEB's HELP Garden Peas - 142g BOILED - why not uncooked - do you think it would be OK to have them raw straight from pods?

OMG - have in the past 7 days got through 3 bags of Fresh Peas in their pods - its a blast from the past eating them straight from the pods, used to pick n eat them straight from the plants in my grandfathers garden. They are so sweet and very morish. Had to go out to Tesco this morning to...

Got 2 lovely punnets off a market stall at Hollowell Steam Fair at the Weekend, I munched my way through half a punnet whilst we were walking around the steam fair. They were sweet, juicy and smelt of Strawberries...yummy Perhaps trying a market stall would be the best

Ashamed of myself...WHY?? i hear you all cry...well its Ladies Day @ Royal Ascot, and exactly 1 yr ago today, and probably 2 yrs ago too, I publically stated that I would be at target and there on Ladies Day fully decked out in all my finerey. WHERE AM I THEN - at home in my leggings and an old...

I believe it is only common courtesy to contact the consultant if you are not going to go to group - after all she is providing you with a service - and if you haven't bothered to let her know that you can't attend why should she contact you. In the case of my consultant she runs 6 groups in a...

Hi all, just need a little help because It appears that I may be off to sunny hunny (Hunstanton) on Sunday as Ben is getting upset about going on his own with his nanny & grandpa.:confused: Am only going to go if I can travel in our car as I don't do coaches as I get travel sick...:9529: I...

I agree with Jaylou, Image Therapy is exactly what the name implies - Image Therapy...You are there to improve your image and in doing that you are receiving "therapy" from the other members of the group. Even though they won't admit it most members love receiving a clap even if it is just...

Fern can you post the link for the emotional eating thread you mention as this is my main problem. Thanx

Glad you are back, have been missing you. Michelle xx

I have a big grin...I lost 1.5lb and also got my Bronze Body Magic Award. Why was I feeling so icky? That just the push I need to get me back on track AGAIN!!.

My consultant always looks at a woman's weight loss over a 4 week period as at different times of the month our hormones do affect our weight be it water retention or some other trick such as cravings. Is the 3lb gain the week before your period and the 3lb loss just after your period. I can...

I thought it would be a good idea if we had a thread for us to put our favourite SW tips and ideas. I know I could use some more ideas as I am really struggling at the moment, I start each day off with good intentions BUT by mid-morning these have all gone through the window. Do any of you have...

BAD NEWS; I gained 1lb..:wave_cry::mad: I am so F**king angry, everyone else at group losing, and I keep yoyo-ing, I am sitting here thinking why do I bother.:sigh: I think I am going to have to sit down with my books and pretend I am new to SW and look at things with new eyes. :gen147...

I was doing ok this week until last nite when my laptop myteriously broke down whilst I was at work, I spent 2 hrs last nite trying to fix it and went to bed knowing that I was going to have to restore it back to the manufacturers settings this morning. I have spent all morning doing that and...

gained 0.5lb - not unhappy but not happy either. On my walk home I thought things through and think the reason is because I haven't eaten enough free food, especially SuperFree Vegetables & Fruit. So this week am going to concentrate on eating more superfree/superspeed foods.

Went to pictures at weekend to see Bob the Builder - hubby and son sat and scoffed popcorn, I took a large container of melon and grapes. Plus a couple of apples and 2litres of water. I even went into the sweet shop and actually picked up a pick n mix bag, and was about to start filling it...

When Cook Yourself Thin was 1st on TV - SW Lifeline Online did a series of articles with their versions of the recipes. I have included the link to these articles here:- Lifeline Online - log on. Hope it helps Michelle xx

To be honest, I didn't. think I had done well at all, as it is * week for the 1st time in 3 months so a 4.5lb loss is absolutely amazing

Did you hear the cheer at 9:20 this morning, well I got weighed and I had lost weight, not just the 1lb I was hoping for but a whopping 4.5lb which meant that I lost the weight I had gained last week plus 0.5lb more. :woohoo: And that was only with 3 days of being 100% on plan after that awful...

I always say when people moan at only losing 0.5lb, take yourself to supermarket and look at the blocks of butter as that is 0.5ln PURE FAT, and that is what you have lost!!. Also my son weighs 4 stone, and I struggle to pick him up, and I have 8 stone to lose, so that is 2 of him....argh...

UPDATE FROM TODAY 10 MAY 2010 Yet another Confession: following on from my post earlier today I have not been able to STICK TO MY PLAN - I am still very upset after yesterday, and now another salvo has been fired this time from my mother. She's basically told me that we treat them different...

Stacie, You don't have to justify your reasons for moving group to her, all you need say is that now your circumstances have changed the other group is more convienent. Michelle

Stacie, Do whatever you feel is right for you - reading your message I think changing groups would be the best for you. You appear to have got into a rut with your current consultant and a change to the group that you originally wanted to go to would, I believe. give you the inspiration you...

Confession Time: Weekend hass not been good for me emotionally which then manifests itself into bad habits but after several heated "text" arguements on Friday (whilst we were both in different places) the air appears to have been cleared a bit but I was still upset at comments made all...

Hi, I am feeling very sorry for me, have a really bad cough, no proper sleep since Saturday, can't get into Dr's until tomorrow afternoon. I have actually rung work and told them am not going in tonight due to ill health, thats 1st time have been off sick in over a year for anything other...

reply received from slimming world Hi Michelle Many thanks for your email. I can confirm that there are many inaccuracies in this post and it’s always best to come back to Slimming World for advice/help. If you’re following the Extra Easy plan fill 1/3 of your plate with Superfree Food...

I agree with you. They do need to update their information and also advise all of their consultants at the same time. Remember it was just like this after Christmas with all the mis=information that was being passed around about Muller lites being syned and other stuff. Remember you can ask...

Hi, Have checked with my consultant and she knows nothing about any changes or any seminar. She says the info quoted was for the Success Express plan which is no longer included in New Member Pack. Also I realised whilst I was at work that the 1/3 rule is for all plans not just EE, so even...

Am not having a good week, today is even worse...am being a regular dustbin, eating everything in sight. I feel that I am being taken for granted by those close to me and work colleagues, and it is really getting me down. Hence the comfort eating. Managed to get the car today so went to...

add some to soup to give it a spicier flavour. Have also added some to SW quiche, to scrambled eggs etc. I add curry/chilli flavour to most things just to enhance the flavour. Michelle

Am back at Friday morning weigh in next week. so am gonna try my hardest to stay on track all week. Michelle

:jelous: :jelous: GAINED 5.5lb..... I was weighing in evening instead of morning but as my previous posts this week have shown I am the "Queen of Self Sabotage". Many thanks for the advise received I will be reading that more fully over the weekend. I need to find my mojo from...

:wave_cry:HELP!!!. Why do I do it, I must be the Queen of Self Sabotage, I know I can follow the plan, I know the plan inside out, I offer everyone else advise on here and at group BUT I cannot stay on plan myself. I have over 8 stone to lose and I know that my weight is affecting my health etc...

Well am back from Dr's and my weigh in, both with good results. Dr has prescribed me something to help me get to sleep so that I can get back into a good sleep routine again, he thinks all my issues at moment are stemming from the fact that I am not sleeping - so that's good. :( Weigh In -...

off to get weighed in the morning, its going to be a large number BUT it will be gained instead of lost. Have a lot of personal issues which have resulted in emotional eating binges, but my consultant and all members of my group are being very supportive. Am hoping that there is a small chink...

My confession is: I just eat what I want and then wonder why I haven't lost weight - :rolleyes: perhaps that is where I am going wrong...hehehe. Perhaps I should try and stick to the plan without my own personal tweak and I may lose weight :devilangel: Michelle.

Hi, I have just read the thread and have to add my comment, the new SW pack, which we have all been encouraged to buy at group, clearly states on page 10 - "SuperFree Foods - Fill 1/3 of your plate with these foods and make them your first choice between meals. It also states that the...

weigh in 29 January 2010 Well as predicted in my many posts this week it was a gain, but not as bad as I thought. I basically put back on what I had previously lost since Christmas. Weight = 18st 8.5lb +4lb I am not upset as I was expecting it, group members were lovely gave me lots of...

Hi, Thanks for all the messages of support I have received following my postings today, and this is what I'm doing, :break_diet: I am going to draw a line and under thse past week and the binge eating, and do not ever want to visit that place again. So here it is:-...

The reasons behind my binge eating are simple to identify, I eat when I am depressed..and herein lies the tale of my weeked... :vibes: With the circumstances of Bens birth (born at 28wks weighing 2lb 1oz, in hospital for 5 months) and the subsequent Cerebral Palsy diagnosis a yr later, I find...

Ben's 9th Birthday and My Thoughts Well I can't actually believe that Ben is 9 today, we have been though such a lot over that past 9 years that the years have flown by. Ben has been celebrating all weekend, with all of his relatives and has been totally spoilt rotten. As usual I did a...

:D:D Ben went back today - Northamptonshire School Transport up and running. He wasn't very pleased as daddy's day off, to be honest am suprised as he attends a Special Educational Needs School and many of the children have a physical disability and they are open. Where abouts in Lincolnshire...

Thanks TeresaTT Didn't realise that Quorn was one of the changes.... For breakfast today: 6 x Ryvita Wholegrain cracker bread (HEB) Banana - Superfree Quark - Free Sweetener - Free Ground Ginger - Free Think that fits in with the new rules. Michelle

Hi all, I have just been reading this thread and first of all I want to say thanks to JayLou for spending the time to provide us with a clear and concise run down of the changes. I too was questioning about the HEB cheese situation as up to and including Tuesday of this week the Lifeline...

Remember that you are only human, don't get upset after one day's over synning, if you are careful the rest of the week with your syns you could still lose weight. Your consultant is not expecting you to be a martyr to the SW cause, you have to have a life too. Remember as Scarlett O'Hara...

Hi All, Just a note to ask how many of you have your kids off school due to the snow!!! Had laptop by the bed this morning so that I could check the school closures web page without getting out of bed, and low and behold as there is not any Council Run School Transport and also as the paths...

Meant to add the link for that info but Ben arrived home from school, so here it is. log into Lifeline online and look for the Extra Easy its Easy Peasy feature I cannot enter the link as it keeps coming up wrong Michelle

me again got this from Lifeline on-line: As cheese is a Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice on Green days only, can it be chosen as the Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice on Extra Easy? Cheese and nuts shouldn’t be used as a Healthy Extra ’b’ choice on the Extra Easy plan. The aim of Healthy Extras is to...

As I was confused I emailed my consultant who replied with the following:- "You can have HE b choice as if it was a green ....as cheese is a HE b on green then yes you can have cheese!!!!!" Copied directly from the reply. Am even more confused now...

me again... having said what I just said I went online and checked out the on-line food diary and for EE it does not offer a cheese option..:sigh::sigh::confused::confused:. Think I need to get clarification from my consultant. Michell

My consultant has said and maintains that on EE you can have as you HEX's as an A from either Green or Original and a B from the B lists from Green or original. So in that case I would say that Philly Ex Lite is acceptable as HEB under EE & Green Michelle

:talk017: STAYED THE SAME.... 18ST 8LB :D:D:D:D:D:D

Count me in, after some major chocolate synning over the holiday period i expect my weigh in on thursday to be a gain!!! So i will need to get back into gear as quick as I can on Friday. Michelle

My consultant makes me turn up by picking me up every friday morning and taking me to group, she say's it coz she needs me a group but I think its to make sure I don't give up. She has also suggested that once Ben goes back to school I should go to her Tuesday morning group and hop on the...

Hi All, I have not been around for a while as I have had lots of personal issues to deal with, hopefully these are now sorted and I can concentrate on losing this extra 8 stone I carry. From today I am sticking to plan and would appreciate any support you can give me, I fully intend to...

Just to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a happy new year. Michelle (FABSTITCHER)

WEDNESDAY 8TH OCTOBER 2008 It’s only 9.40am and I am already shattered!! The reason being I have been completing the Disability Living Allowance form in for Ben’s renewal claim, and it is always so distressing as I have to actually describe how his disabilities affect him and us. I don’t tend to...

:eek: I have been inspired this morning - Next year I am going to enter the Great North Run - even if I have to walk most of it. It will provide me with a goal to aim for and encourage me to get fit and also raise money for a good cause. Michelle

At last September has been & gone it has been slightly stressful to say the least. My father had his cateract done and saw a specialist about his glassopharangiel neuralgia but of course there was a problem with transport and I ended up getting 6 calls from my mother in an hour - my stress...

Hi all, Thankyou for your messages of support. I have suffered on & off with depression for the last 10 yrs, more so since Ben, my disabled son was born 7 yrs ago. I had a very bad time with it last yr, infact I was off work for 6 months, and the Dr has me on a high dose of antidepressents...

I am writing this as I want you to know how I am feeling. To be perfectly honest I feel as if I am not in control of anything anymore. The last few weeks with my dad being ill and being ill myself (water problems in Northampton) have brought things to a head again and I think I am depressed...
