Hi Carly, work has been mental - but seem to be ok on WW. 1st Week - WI after 5days gained 0.5lbs 2nd Week - lost 2.5lbs 3rd Week - Lost 1lb :)

do you normally weigh yourself at home? why not do it anyway, and then go from the week after and take it from there :) x

3 Weeks ago I took the Move from SW to WW...and joined a local WW class. I gained 0.5lbs after 5-day WI, but this week lost 2.5lbs - i'd been playing about with the same 2lb at SW for the last 3months! Im eating "normal" and the BF can tell a difference, as we had gammon egg and chips (PROPER...

Oh i always used to get called delly at school and didnt mind it, but dont like it as i get older...LOL x

Im pretty sure its the body adjusting. I think if I had gained at SW id have gone home and ate a big massive greasy horrible takeawy. BUT im not..:) We're having gammon egg and chips tonight for tea, and tomorrow OH's family is visiting from America, and his Mum wants me there to meet the...

WI was this morning, and 5 days on the plan and I had gained 0.5lbs! I didnt do a full week, which is fine - and had to WI with my mums "new" group, rather than the one I will be weighing in nromally at. Next week I will probably WI on a Wednesday, so I'll be one day over, and it will sort...

Some people dont work well with 3 meals, some have 6 smaller meals which is why they think they're grazing all day. Are you in your points and still losing? x

Hi Rosie thanks! :o) I am trying! Im finding it loads easier than SW! lol X

I've no idea why but im really hungry today :( Its strange as I seem to have eaten quite low pro-points etc ive got 13 left for my evening (normally I have about 10 and dip into weeklies) but Im sat here trying to resist the urge! Im busy at work (Im typing this from the office lol they joys of...

:o) Minigoals are the best. Its things also such as under next stone bracket too, as it breaks it all down into small chunks x

Awww *blush* Thanks I've only started this week but its all in my HEAD :D x

Hello Delly! (I get called Delly too! lol) You called Adele by any chance? ;) xx

Are you making sure you are getting your fluids, and still eating your healthy items too? Your body fluctuates in general between 2.2lbs =+/- per day in natural bodily fluctuations so I wouldnt stress too much - do you have a diary of what you have eaten since then?

Well this is my first week, and its been a bit mish-mashed. But I feel like im eating loads of Naughty stuff just til I get myself right (it is only my first week and i'd been following SW right upto joining) so im not expecting a big weight loss or anything :) x

Luckily not been on them for ages and wouldnt rush to go back on them LOL x

Oh totally, i think mine went in blackcurrant squash! LOL X

Nope im 26 and i was on the movicol before :( x

Eeeek! So annoying LOL x

Oh I was on Solpadol and that never did. When I was on tramadol & codiene together I was taking tramadol at noon, codiene at 2, tramadol at 4 codiene at 6, and i was SO lucid everyone thought it was really strange! x

Nomes - I was at one point on tramadol and codine phosphate - im now allergic to them which is good fun LOL but hope your pain gets better soonx x

:o) Enjoy! You can bulk it out as much or as little as you want to xx

Yeah well OH and I like wedges too so he's not gonna feel like he's "missing out" now LOL x

Thanks Fern! xXx

A lot of the time I think it is also not only to do with the nutritional information but the "fillingness" if im lead to believe thats right. So therefore Chow Mein is higher in fillingness than the WW meal so whilst the WW meal is better for you it wont sustain you as long?

Made chicken stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon a few weeks ago - chicken didnt cook enough so we had lovely bacon and veg :)

Yep all veg will be 0pp Gravy Granuels are 2 teaspoons = 1pp

See how you go! If you're within your points you should be fine! xx Feel better soon! x

PS. i know its not just about calorie counting but its quite startling LOL x

Nope you cant - which I suppose is better in the long run. Just think of the sugar and calories anyway in any fruit! For Instance on calories alone a pear is 68 if you had two, thats 136 A bag of walkers cheese and onion is 133 ;)

They are pre-cooked. They're in the Asda fresh section with the stir fry items and normally 3 for £2.50 I worked them out on my cardboard wheel as 9 per 1/2 bag which is 200g - the seem "high" but they're nice for bulk. My OH doesnt like the boil your own ones. You could get a bag and split it...

Your welcome, i cook most of my evenings meals from scratch altho we're having a chinese tonight to - im not gonna be scared to use my weeklies, because what happens IF you go over one week and you dont normally. And you gain weight its "cos you had that treat" so therefore if you start by...

The Weeklies are there so you can go over. We got told to eat them, as they are there - and you wont feel like you're being left out. My diary is now uploaded on here http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-food-diaries/215803-sw-ww-newbie.html to see what I am eating on a daily basis with 34pp...

Thanks Jem! :) Just keeping a list of everyone online - if im going wrong i can get people to notice it or make a comment where need be! :) Be nice that people can go "for less PP try x"

Thursday 2nd June 2011 Plans for today: Big Job that I have prepared on today. Lots of people involved and hard work. Not really much time to prepare apart from evening meal Breakfast: 1 x Bagel (no butter and not toasted) 1 x handful of grapes Total = 6pp Lunch: 1 x co-op healthy living...

This is my first week on the WW plan having joined from SW. I am a 26-year old female, self employed, and find it hard to prepare meals. I currently live at home but spend a lot of time at my boyfriends, who lives with his mum and works nights! I only use my parents house to sleep in. But...

You're not filling your meals out enough which is why you will be getting bored. For example: i'm new to doing it this week but as an example Breakfast: Bagel (no butter) and grapes = 6pp Lunch: Coop healthy chicken salad sandwich, bag of walkers cheese and onion crisps, banana, grapes = 12pp...

My friend found that they sat in the room with 3 of us, all with a cat/kitten and then took the kitten out - and had a water spray. And basically learnt behaviour, dont hiss or attack dont get sprayed. In the end even if the kitten did it, it got shut in a box for 1minute to try again. Gradually...

Hello Piggin! SW to WW convert here and joined last week! Fruit is free per portion, however a portion is the RDA portion size, ie a handful of grapes is 0pp but a punnet would have points in them. Frozen and tinned fruit are 0pp - you can have tinned as long as you drain the juice :) x

Hello! :o) I am on 34 PP a day - what are you currently eating so we can advise you? Just an example of today or yesterday - are you also eating/using your weeklies? x

Yep I'll be sticking with my leader too!! :)

Ive found im eating less fruit that I was on SW but still managing more than my 5 a day, before hand id be through 4 punnets of grapes, 3 kg bag of pears and same in apples, a 1kg bag of bananas plus satsumas, and they'd last me about 4 days! I think theres a reason only so many is 0pp but if...

Yeah i think thats what the issue is, we're having gammon egg and chips tomorrow for tea (or thats the plan lol) and id have had to make "slimming world friendly" chips and they're a right ball ache to make and get right! *laughs* BUT we shall see how I do this week! :D

Thanks Hun Prob just stick to the chicken LOL :D x

I joined on Wednesday so only got this week and I'm WI on Tuesday morning as its better for me this week. I couldnt do it online and just WI at home as its just annoying and hard LOL - but ive found it loads better than SW tbh x

TBH Ive done SW for a year and lost 1stone 10lbs then got put on hormone treatment for 6months was told I could gain upto 3stone (from the hospital) and gained 10lbs which wasnt too bad! Now all ive done is maintain and I'm struggling SW wise as I eat a lot on the go! - So...WW is better for me...

We're having chinese tonight and was going to have chicken and mushroom as I normally have beef and mushroom - but just out of curiosity - how many would beef and mushroom be?! Anyone? Not in the Eating Out Guide! :(

That calculator says I should be on 35 PP daily, and the leader said 34 PP so be careful!

In the shopping book it just says "Quaker Oats, 1 medium bowl, 30g" = 3 Oats so Simple, Origional 27g is 3

200g of uncooked pasta is a lot of pasta! 1 medium portion of uncooked pasta is 40g and is 4pro-points 1 medium portion of cooked pasta is 150g and is 4 pro-points If you are definaltey using 200g of uncooked pasta it would be 20pro-points Rice 1 medium portion of cooked brown rice 150g is...

Just thinking for the weight of a drumstick, you're actually weighing the bone too?! x

Hi Fern! Yay for baby no1 on its way. Ive been a slimming world member and ive just moved over to WW. I have found that a lot of SW is based on eating and cooking from scratch, a lot of planning and preparing, and thats what I was struggling with. I run my own business and was starting to really...

Recipie for the Italian Style Beef Stew is here btw :) http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-propoints-plan-recipes/215695-italian-style-beef-stew.html

One of the girls in the class I joined has lost 46lbs in 6months! So I would say its do-able - but she makes sure she eats all her daily PP and her weekly PP too! Have bits of what you wouldnt normally "allow" yourself to get where you need to be. Crisps etc that are WW branded are only 2pp or...

:o) I joined on Wednesday last week! :o) I went from SW to WW and finding im eating loads more normal stuff! LOL x

I got told to eat my weeklies, because if you dont use them and then you decide to use them one week and gain or your weight loss starts slowing down - then thats what you lower...or start cutting down on. :)

This is not PP as it all depends on how many you are making it for and how many PP you are willing to use. It can be served with Chips, potatoes or Rice, or we include the potatoes in the actual recipie. Ingredients Beef of any sort cut into strips, easy to use beef stir fry if needed Onion...

One of the sub forums has ProPoints Point allowance cos Im not sure what you should be on :( x

I think a lot of people who struggled (from what Ive been reading) are who went from points to propoints without a break or anything! x

Hello! I'm new to WW and joined on Wednesday afternoon. After following Slimming World and now I am eating "normal" food and not feeling like I'm missing out on anything I too am really worried about my first Weigh In! :( Ive just eaten a McDonalds to use up some of my weeklies! LOL

I could easily do that when I once followed SW - Ive not CUT DOWN on my fruit intake! x

I had over yesterday, and may have over today - however, im gonna have something like a chinese or a mcdonalds tomorrow! :D LOL x I want to make sure that im using mine (2nd day in) as if I struggle to lose weight its the only thing i can "drop" x

melteaser, i have got him to eat passata when I make sauces as if you crumble in a stockcube when cooking it takes the "edge" off the tomato taste - he now cannot tell the difference between my sauce and dolmio ;)

I'll post the recipie later :) x

Ive just moved over from SW to WW - I think if you cant eat meat you may very well struggle with the EE plan on SW x

Stir Fry's are great, I also do an italian style stew, which includes beef, potatos (or not) passata, & Carrots. My OH doesnt like mushroom's or pea's or sweetcorn other wise i'd put these into the pot also. :)

What are making the terriblness' on a WI X

I did a tesco shop last week, and normally go to Asda, they had some branded passata on 2 for £1 so i got 4 :D x

I'd love to see some of your food diaries if you have them! Asda do their own passata which is awesome! :) Smart Price Rocks! x

I went as Best had a Free joining offer (valid until Sunday!!) and made sure I got all the information as I was "thinking" of joining - well after realising that everything would fit in with my hectic lifestyle better and being stuck on SW and maintaining or gaining/losing/gaining/losing without...

I am So excited :) I have eaten foods today that I have "missed" and "not thought possible" whilst following SW I had a big photoshoot on today so its hard to eat, but I made sure I called this morning and got things to eat. Breakfast: Bagel (6) 1 handful of grapes (0) Snack: handful of...

Hello! I've been doing SW and been struggling for some months due to being on hormones for Endometriosis, and I've been following it but not losing weight. Finding a free class and registration voucher I decided to go along to the local WW as one of my friends told me it would suit my "grab...

Joined today £5.99 a week, or £19.99 per month x

Gilly & Kimmy, who were you replying to? x

I did an alternating week, did 2 Red 3 Green and 2 EE it keeps you thinking and on your toes, and you have to check everything! (but also easy to slip up) How long have you been doing the plan? Cos it doesnt seem like you've been on it a long time (ive done it once before) and it can take a...

Ive got the Merina Coil fitted and its horrible! :o\ Ive had it fitted 4.5years out soon, and im now getting regular "bleeds" and things. Could be down to the Endo though! x

Yep - hormones slow down weight or make you gain. Every person is different and it could be different from month-to-month good luck! x

Yeah bubbles can bloat you still water wont, both should just make you wee loads though LOL

If your wanting something comforty then try this (my favourite) 1 x Savoury Rice and then your HEX A Cheese. I normally use 42g Mozzerella. Add the cheese in just before you serve and stir in well. A gloopy, carby, comfort food dish! Yummy!

Seems to me that Im the only one who hates sparkling water! lol. Drink Still water with Squash, as it curbs sugar cravings, especially blackcurrent! mmm But I drink plain water anyway, as I dont drink tea or coffee! x

I suppose I flex after WI, as thats my "treat night" however if I know I have something big coming up then I will be as careful as I can be. I dont agree with people saying "ooops" because if you write it down it will really shock you into realising how much you have had! x

Well...how exciting and strange at the same time. I was on cerezeta and I still ovulated and had regular monthlies etc. Ive currently got the coil fitted...and you guessed it! *laughs* I suffer with endometriosis so my oestrogen is lready super high and just gets angry with hormones! x

6 Weeks before the event, and the etiquette for Wedding Invites is from 6 months before as hotels want final numbers between 1 and 2 months before. :)

I always loved how the Lasagne is less than the chicken and bacon salad with dressing! LOL (17.5 syns apparently!)

The motto I live my life by is "everything happens for a reason" The motto for SW is..."a 1lb is a 1lb"

I crave fruit like mad. I eat LOADS of fruit, and my C hasnt told me off LOL

If you change groups, you can also go onto the new Consultants "books" so to speak, so you become a permenant member there. This works well for holidays etc, as you have to "transfer membership" to book holidays x hope that helps! New C is lovely, we do loads of different things in group. And...

The Extra Light Philly is only an HEX on a Green day x

Mmmm Banana's You probably swap it for some different fruit which is then super speed which might help xx

hollys nan SAS is an indepth food diary to find out where your going wrong. It makes you really think about things. Such as What your potential danger area's are, if your planning your meals, how much your eating/drinking/etc

Slimming World also promote flex syns....this is why! x

I know before I was on the hormone treatment I was able of the 3 and 4lb losses. But im not on the treatment. I rejoined. Have 1lb a week goal. Im taking it week by week and 1lb a week is 3 stone by Christmas! x

I always give myself a little "treat" after WI, that way i dont feel like im loosing out! x

I didnt know they do money guarentees!!! *sulks* I was following plan and gained 1lb (was doing SAS) was then informed it was the hormones I was on lol x

Welcome! :) They normally suggest when following Red/Green to have two HEX and Its known that Calcium helps speed up weight loss and women need it, nad also your B choice is Fibre! So I would stick to them where possible! When doing EE (the plan im doing) it is only 1 of each! x

Yeah its 1lb per week, no stress or anything :) I dont want to think ive got x amount and stress out. My cousin gets married in 20 weeks, so i could be 1stone and a half lighter by then! And its a Wedding Im going to at a guest not working at which is stranger! :D

I remember joining WW years ago at 16st 6lbs and was a size 22. I joined Slimming World in May at 16st 4lbs and a was a size 18/20 (shop dependant) I lost 7lbs and got into a size 16 FCUK dress! (that fitted nice!) infact i bought TWO! I lost 1st 10lbs and was still a size 16, ive since gained...

Welcome xxx

They've been specculation that they inject with fat etc to keep them moist, but this has never been proved. But, if you search asda chicken they'll bring up loads of posts x

Asda Plain Whole Chicken, Rotisserie, 100g 4 Syn EE 4 Syn Red 10 Syn Green

Hm....we've always been led to belive that they're not free! In the big food directory they mention syns per 100g and on the website x

Be careful with the cooked chickens, they're not syn free x

:) xx

Commented on your blog xx

Im SE so people cant offer me bad things ! *laughs* Our old C used to say "tell lies to people if it means your not tempted" hehehe she tells people she has an Ulcer. Im borderline Lactose intolerant, comes in VERY useful at times x

have you told your C how you feel? x

:) I spent today working with a 14lb backpack on my back! Nice reminder thats what ive lost, but i ache more now! (but thats not what i did) its like when people tell me how uch their kids weigh etc, and its like wow...ive lost that whole little person! Do it for YOU not for what you can get...

Yoyo dieter have you got a food journal we can look over? has the class consultant given you feedback on this?! What plan are you following? x

How come Pink Boots? Maybe we can help you (even a tiny bit) if you tell us your story! xx

Some bits you may find useful that you may not have thought about previuosly that are free on EE from Sainsburys. Be Good To Yourself (BGTY) Sweet Chilli Chicken Breasts Sliced (chilled) Canned Beef Stew British Chicken Mini Fillets with a sunbaked tomato & basil marinade (chilled) Inspired To...

ive got the free book from class, so just gonna have a look through it for you xx

hollys nan I'm 27 and on hormones to put me through a fake menopause due to Endometriosis. I was going to class, sticking 100% to the plan and gaining weight, not sticking and then loosing! It was annoying. I then stuck to it, filled in a food diary and did SAS, lost 2.5lbs one week, gained...

Its to do with bulk. Its like Oranges being free, but Orange juice being synned. x

I set a target at my first WI, even though it wasnt a "real" target *laughs* Ive given myself 1lb a week, so therefore its 3stone to Christmas! So I needed to lose 3st 8lbs to get to 12 stone. So....thats the target for Christmas! :)

Oh Shell! Sending you big hugs *snuggles* xxx

We have some girls dropping 5 or 6lbs and a girl who has lost 1st 10lb in 10weeks! but...they're not getting it! The girl who won it this week had lost 2lbs! I had lost 1.5lbs thats closer *laughs* the people who drop losts of weight quickly, or weekly, are more than likely to put loads on if...

Im great thanks feelign good, had a few days feeling "off" it but just had a fruit shop! :D x (how sad im excited about this!) x

Hi Girls I WI on Tues (8th) and I had lost 1.5lbs! :D I am aiming for 1lb per week, so I smashed my target by 0.5lb! :D x

At my new group, the SOTW this week had lost 2lb. My old C only did it for who stayed to class, this new one does it for EVERYONE who walks through the door then raffles off the fruit x

Yeah we are meant to support each other, but unfortunately some people dont see it like that!

Yes it is awful, but if the guy knew what was being said....then maybe he'd be feeling this way too! x He might be embarrassed!

Hi Girls! There were some gains in group last WI and my C was like "we've had a little gain but she's lost an amazing (insert weight) so far" :) thats the positiveness we need xxx

Hi Debz, how you feeling now? xxx

I'm aiming to lose 1lb a week by christmas, so not quite as much to go as quickly but good on you! x

I can understand why it would be disheartening for you but imagine how that guy would feel if he could hear you say this. The reason that I'm saying that is my friend gets SOTW and SOTM a lot and has lost 3stone in 4months, she's done amazing, and she's not "little" but the back-biting has...

at 14 I was looking after other people's kids and putting them to bed, so I think they'll be fine for IT. Your only a call away if they need you! I think maybe sit in the new member talk :) I joined another group yesterday and im feeling SO inspired this week! x

Yeah if you've eaten and worried too much about portion control, you might just not have eaten enough!

EEEEK! Just to inform you my new C is a disctrict manager also! *laughs* BUT...my new C was lovely in class last night, there were 2 of us new members, she took us both to different people who she thought could help us/buddy up etc, and was really helpful! And text me this morning too! x

Hi Girls, Im re-joining group tonight so my WI's will be Tuesday at 5pm! Ive been a member of SW since May 10. Lost 1stone 10lbs and then went on hormone treatment for Endometriosis and put about 10lbs (or a stone) back on! EE really does work, but if i need to be really disaplined I swap...

I phoned the new consultant last night and left a message with my mobile number to let me know if there were any changes to group time (or cancellation for whatever reason) and she text me saying that she was looking forward to seeing me in group. Still not had a call back from the previous C...

Good Luck i'm sure you'll do brilliant! xxx

OMG some of these stories are horrible! Eeeeek!!!!!! x

Me and Mum are going to do it on the 12th June at Pontefract x

Lelly11 it is possible but dont forget that you are 10 weeks away from the Wedding. This is when all the sometimes stressful bits can occur, and it can throw you off track. I work in the Wedding Industry, and even I get thrown off track by my client's stresses! You have your target of wanting...

Look Here thats the Dukan version, but sounds like you can pop them in the fridge or freezer too! x

It sounds like the galette's that you can have on Dukan! But they use Oats rather than Weetabix! Good way to get your HEXb x

Im restarting at Group on Tuesday! Im aiming for 1lb a week so thats 3 stone by xmas! x

hollys nan ive had one day of texts from my C, but thats it. I tried to call her the other day to let her know that I wont be going on Tuesday etc, and still awaiting a call back :(

Thanks Hun! Ive only got one more month left on the hormones, which are notorious for people putting weight on. I'm planning 1lb a week, thats 3 stones for xmas! x

Ouch indeed! I burn really easily so I know what it can be like! Drink plenty of water, keep you hydrated, as your skin will thank you for it, aloe vera or body butter may help other than after sun x

katty Thanks! I joined in May last year, did so well at first, and then its just gone bad....and cos i'm not feeling the support & stuff its hard. Its like the fact i get told off, or to cut down on syns, and that type of stuff, its annoying too! :( x

judimac thanks! But do the problem is I feel that if I have a quiet word its going to open up a complete backlash type thing! (from more people then saying stuff) x

MadameLaMinx Thanks for that, she has about 50 members through the scales, and about 30 people stay to class...so we'll just see how it goes! I'll not mention any reasons as to why I'm rejoining apart from work, I dont think - but we'll see how many others follow suit. flippyoung Thanks for the...

I have decided that on Tuesday I am rejoining a Slimming World group different to the one that I am going to. This is a decision based that my circumstances have changed work wise and cannot give up Tuesday Mornings every week, but I will be rejoining at a Tuesday class at 5pm. The class I'm...

These do look lovely!

Ive had some serious Wobbles over the last few weeks, and I was gaining weight with the hormones but now im feeling that I'm gaining weight and I feel stuffy for it, fat and horrible! (we're talking 7lbs over 4 months) but I can FEEL it. So i 1. need a virtual kick up the bum and 2. how does...

My Consultant says they have found that people who go over their 10 syns (even tho it says you can have 15 they recommend 10) are likely to have slower losses (or gains) however, if its only once i shouldnt think its an issue, LOL x

Fantastic! Now...where can we see this food diary?! x

Yep, its better than any of the other diets! I'm jealous of BritMumInCanada for putting 5lbs on and being pregnant! I've put 5lbs on (on hormone therapy) but according to my consultant I should be loosing! :(

We have about 50+ that goes through our Group Scales and generally about 30-40 of them stay! Our Group is fab! Our Consultant says to get there for 9:30, use the 30minutes "weigh-time" to talk to people, discuss how you've done share idea's etc. As we do Image Therapy, and we see how people...

Ohhh!! Well in that case! ;) Just remember to Plan as much as you can. When you're feeling "flush" buy in extra little bits that you know you can have. Freeze Mince/Chicken etc, and get the low fat supernoodles and savoury rices when they're on offer. If your finding it hard, batch make soups...

im mixing the EE/RED/GREEN this week, so can I just also point out that ive read and re-read and re-read to make sure im doing them right. 227g of BAKING Potato, large potato's you would Mash or have as a Jacket. 198g of NEW Potato, with skins. I think it has to do with the skins, etc, but its...

By the way Zumba is due for release on 11-03-2011

OMG ZUMBA Might have to get that! :D I have wii fit, but its finding the time i live at home and cant go on in an evening cos mum n dad are in (its downstairs) so i must get up earlier in a morning!! I want to get Just Dance, but told Just Dance 2 is better - any advice?! We have Biggest...

Ive been sticking and STS and gained etc, throughout the last 3months (on hormone treatment) and its disheartening, this week i am REALLY mixing things up! x

:( sending you lots of hugs and snuggles. How far in advance do you get your shifts? xx

it is fine to do this, but write it down. Chances are you may go over - but be prepared, dont beat yourself up IF it happens and you gain you'll know where it will have come from. Eating out can be a complete pain in the bottom! They generally say stick to 5-15 a day, with 10 being the general...

They try and focus on EE cos its more balanced (just like WW will be focussing on propoints) but we're going over success express which is an old diet that SW used to promote LOADS and seems to work for a lot of people. They tend to steer people away from Red and Green because people werent...

Congratulations!! I'm doing, EE, Red AND Green this week!!! x

I find this post really useful, as we always say in group to "Reach for Free before Synning" I dont always have my syns - and my consultant says if I dont feel I'm missing out then I dont have to have them. I would rather reach for fruit than chocolate or biscuits. Yesterday I only had 2.5...

Slimming World Say that exercise is there to boost your weight loss by 1-2lbs per MONTH. x

Good Luck! I STS on a regular basis (due to the hormone injections im on for treatment) but my consultant says i should be loosing, done food diaries, SAS logs and everything. STS is disheartening, but be 100% true to yourself, and try and sort it x

I was hooked, but being self employed isnt easy, as i get really so busy! So i cant always be on here. And Lila Endo isnt all that great, and i was fine doing Slimming World, until I had my hormone injection (to go through the fake menopause) x

With the losses your getting, your still doing really well, but they have to slow down sometimes. I'm STS almost every week despite sticking to plan, and itss really annoying me. Im really mixing it up this week. One of my friends goes to class and she gets SOTW almost every week, and she's...

Hi Guys... Im back, i think i need to keep posting to really make sure i dont go off track for ANYTHING. I've really been struggling with my weight loss whilst on treatment for my endometriosis, but apparently it should "still be working" and i have considered doing the Dukan diet, and even...

Ohhh Thank you! We didnt think it was going to be too many Syns, and it was shared between 3 of us! :)

Can anyone please help me with the syn value for the jar of Tesco Bolognese Sauce. I tried to look for it in the old (and new) books, and its not in, and it wont let me log-in online to calculate it since theyve upgraded the website. Per 100g Kcal: 55 Protein: 2.1 Carbs: 8.4...

It is bad. But then again what is right? Slimming World etc, say weigh Weekly. Dukan Diet etc, say weigh daily as it keeps you motivated or on track (if you've gained you'd rein in) Hospitals and Dieticians say to Weigh Monthly. x

I dont keep a food diary on here, ive been on the plan 5-months, and i know its definately the treatment...however i got told by my consultant that its not, and its obviously what im eating.

Thanks Guys! I think im just gonna eat what I'd normally eat which differs day to do due to how well im feeling. The SAS logs will show that. Still not sure im eating enough at the minute, and the silliest thing is ive been doing this since May. Feeling bit more motivated than I was last week, i...

*laughs* but tuesday is my normal lax day Ooops....I'll just have to be good. Might just have Soup!

Yeah which is annoying as im doing SAS logs this week, as im having hormone treatment - and im really struggling but my Consultant said I shouldnt be having an issue! :(

Help! I normally get weighed on a Tues AM but due to a hospital appointment I have to get Weighed on a Tues PM. Can you help on what I should/shouldnt eat on the actual day? Or i'll end up starving myself lol

Well my consultant thought that it could possibly be, she didnt know for definate, and she asked other consultants in our area, who didnt know the definate answer as they all thought it should be. Just seems a bit silly. Oh well....:)

Hi I just wondered if Philledelphia can be used as a Healthy Extra A on EE days Its mainly the Extra Light, ive searched the forum, my SW Consulant doesnt know....help?!

Its hard because the complete cutting it out should help, are you still eating the same amount of syns? Are you doing anything else differently? If your following the plan 100% they say you should lose 1-2lbs per week depending on how much you have to lose anyway. A lot needs to be your diet...

You dont look a size 18 x

Lisa you looked amazing x

Why not join the group tonight that your going with your Mum? That way you'll have met the leader and be able to tell your mum all about the group your going to together? x

wow chocolate has gone DOWN in syns!

Thanks Guys... Its just hard :( Im feeling better today, im just having Jacket Spud with Beans and Salad, after dashing about and not having brekki. Going to friends for dinner tonight, and she's specifically cooking MY dinner, without any added evils. :)

Its not that its just so disheartening when I know I can do it, and im doing the exact same thing as I ws doing four weeks ago to drop 3lbs and now i cant even maintain! (i put 1lb on last week, and 2.5lbs on this week) I wouldnt mind its not even tho I've been eating CRAP this week. Or the...

Hi Guys I know ive not been here for a little while, work has been completely hectic. :( I was feeling really geared up on SW, i got to my 10% and I was just all in all feeling fantastic. Then I had the Prostap injection for my endometriosis, and maintained for 3 week. I decided to have a...

Thank you Sarah, little goals are best to have! I felt like a bit of a "failure" as it took me "so long" to lose "so little" then i stopped comparing myself to everyone else and realised....that 5lb a month ive lost! x

Thanks for the support guys, i know we all have days like these. Ive come back, on top of the world now, after having a successful date with a boy! lol x

Today I'm feeling Fat... It's really annoying. I look at my before and after pictures and I know ive done well. 1st 10lbs and at times Im loving and happy with the way i'm looking! But I had the Prostap injection two week ago, and its notorious for putting weight on. Last week I...

:o they're definately wrong surely. I found the ones i used to use were very hit and miss, but thats because they MOVE them. lol x

Yep that sounds what mine'll do! LOL x

Welcome, and fingers crossed for you. I think when people start noticing and you start feelign good, its hard to stay 100% focussed. So I have little goals that I do :) x

Ive currently lost 1st 10lbs and no change. Infact everyone thinks my boobs have got bigger :( I never seem to lose it off my boobs, my mum always said id end up at target and looking like jordan! You have no idea how envious I am at the minute of you ALL.

Thanks hun, i know we have openings and opportunities in my local area, and im already self employed, so ive spoken to my C's manager, and looking at just going and seeing more about it, but was definately willing to hear other peoples thoughts on it :D x

Well WI today, and I ended up helping out - I was sticker lady! :D I lost 1lb taking me to 1st 10lbs! Im so excited. Thats 7lbs off in the last 4 weeks, my HEAD is finally in it! Wooot Also been thinking of going to the "open day" for consultants in training etc,has anyone been? x

FANTASTIC XX :D

Today, I put one of my corset style belts on with a long t-shirt. And the last time I wore it i had to fasten it on the slackest fastening, and today....its on the TIGHTEST! :D

You look so happy and radient! :D x

*laughs* this did make me giggle x

EE needs to have the 1/3 superfree. So for breakfast, add a banana, or a fruit salad or something. For Lunch its veg and or fruit. I know you are meant to TRY and have 1/3 with each meal, or 1/3 of your INTAKE. In the end you'll notice, you'll have more superfree than free.. If you do...

HOW much did you jump around the changing room squealing?! :D x Congratulations xx

Thanks Hun! Yeah you can either call me delleh or Adele, i answer to both. Adele is my real name LOL. I know, I loved wearing it and everyone telling me how ace I looked :D Ive been reading how amazing youve done, im not quite sure I'll get to be as MUCH as a skinny minny as you but I'll try! :D

That dress is SO pretty! x

Thanks Shell_y I keep thinking, what will i look like when I get to my 2stone, then my 2.5 stone *laughs* I ideally want to get down to around 11 stone so fingers crossed. What the best thing was, when I bought the blue dress in my "slimmer" photograph. I was 9lbs heavier than I was when I...

*blush* Thanks....its so strange looking at those two pictures together, because I still at times feel like the first one. And I'm only 24lbs down! x

Ok...so Photographs.... The first one was taken in May as I had JUST started SW The second was taken on Wednesday. :)

I just wondered if anyone had been on Prostap and continued to do SW and lose weight. I know weight gain is a side effect of the injection but i just wondered if anyone had had it and it had not affected them too much. I know we have a PCOS forum on minimins but not an endometriosis forum...

My C said she could really tell the difference in me now. 1st 9lbs lost. And wore my size 16 FCUK dress and look fabulous and skinny(er) even if I do say so myself! x

Just want to put my oar into this thread. In my job (which i cant post about on here due to advertising etc) I see a lot of brides. Ones who want to lose weight, and ones who dont. Ones who try and fail, and ones who succeed. At the end of the day, when you have the dress on, the hair and make...

Well slimming world is a food plan, so the weight will come off with the food, and the gym can just speed it up a little but not much x

Welcome to posting on the board, and Slimming world is fabulous I love it :) going to the gym is meant to help speed your weight loss by 1-2lb per MONTH according to our Consultant x

Oh goodness, its such a shame :( hope you get to the bottom of it, im just waiting for my Club 10 letter x

Im not saying its a problem nor am I stating that you are saying things that you are not. However the post "Oh My Gawd, show me the research" comes across as without research then its just dispelled. Thats how it came across, it wasnt an attack, i just wanted to draw your attention to how it...

if you dont like water then dont drink it? maybe its a myth. But I dont need 100% researched proof for everything that has ever worked for me. If it works for people then it works for people, if it doesnt work for you then it doesnt. Sorry, but it seems that you are dismissing peoples...

it gives you a healthy colon, makes you go to the loo more often, which helps with weightloss obviously! LOL x

I think we all have some point where we think surely we cant eat THAT. Or how come i can eat all of this and the weight falls off whereas before it didnt....its really an odd concept at times. But your doing fab !!! We always think every week we'll have put on! LOL x

Thanks guys. I will DO THIS! I know i have a few days to get back into it, so its not too bad before WI and i hope i'll be able to minimise the effect x

Thank you! God ive MISSED the healthy stuff!!!

I found this about drinking water from Water Health Report - How eight glasses a day keeps the fat off! Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase! And an increase in...

Luckily ive kinda got my head back into it, its almost like something clicked about 4week ago, and ive been so good since. I think thats why i feel so shocking. This morning, i got up and went to asda, spent £11 on healthy fruit, and salad, and most of it will have probably gone by tonight! LOL x

Ive had a really bad week this week. I've been so busy with work, not been able to get to the shop to get the weekly shop done, and mum's gone back to work so she's not been able to do it either (i live with mum and dad) I WI on tues, and i dont think i've had 3 meals all week, and when I have...

not heard of that....

Good Luck Brittany :)

Well...another 1lb off, and 10% this week. Goals updated :o)

OH dear what have I started!!! It was more of a tongue in cheek, I actually went to the office to do some work and then to asda instead. :o) I'm now just eating beef cassorole. And to the person who mention a hubby! I dont have one *sob* lol And I have loads of pineapple. Mmmm Yummy! I...

*giggles* I came to my office to finish off doing some work as I have a MAJOR busy weekend which is all good. SO...when I finish, i will go to asda, get pineapple etc, and good nibbles for work tomorrow, and then when I get in from Asda, I will sit and eat Carrot Soup! :D

Now that made me laugh, and I love how its a MAN :D x

I think a trip to asda, for lots of pineapple and melon and watermelon is needed....best finish up this work I have to do before I go then! :o) SO exciting times thats going off in everything else! x

Thanks Fern!!! Just everyone keep kicking me up the butt, cos I really want at least a 1lb loss and get my 10% award on tuesday! x

*laughs* I know I dont NEED it, infact if we had pineapple in the house i'd go for that over the choccy muffin....mmmmm Pineapple.... I feel a trip to asda coming on instead!x

I have a chocolate chip muffin in the fridge left over from tuesday. So its going to HORRIBLE if i eat it - but things are going SO FABULOUSLY well for me in my work, and things are just so exciting....and I just want to treat myself. NO fruit in the house either!!! Please tell mei dont want...

Right, I need 1lb loss this week. So how about we make sure we BOTH get it this week :D x

This is you and your weight loss! Not everyone elses. Well done you!! xx

What are you eating do you do a food diary? whats your exercise and syns like? x

Well Done huni!! xx

I get weighed on a tuesday morning, and i normally have the day off. Yesterday I had a choclate muffin, some crisps white bread etc. I did exactly the same LAST week on the tues and lost 3lbs this week! When I havent been doing this ive "given up" and craved stuff during the week and ATE it...

Well done hun :) Also, just remember if youve been doing it at home - then someties your body can have "slowed down" to "normal" lol x

Oh You'll be fine hun!! Good Luck let us know how you do x

Right - Its taken me about 3months to get from 1 stone to 1 stone 7lbs - and why? Because I was busy, things were happening, and we had "excuses" to go out and enjoy ourselves. It was the same pound I was losing and gaining and let me tell you it was as annoying as hell. And now, I dont know...

Good luck hun my friend has PCOS and she's not a skinny minny either :( (but she has a bad diet!) I have endometriosis and i have "endo-belly" when the pain is bad x

I think one of the things that kept me focussed was the fact that I knew as soon as Id got my 1.5 stone award, and I aimed for 2lb loss for this week, I needed 2lbs next week to get my 10% - so then it was kinda, well after that and I've lost 1stone 9lbs my next is obviously 2stone award and...

Well Ive decided to do my little Weight loss goals…so here we go. Looking at it as a BIG picture looks really scary….but little bits little bits! So you can see its all targeted within 3-6lbs of weight loss and sometimes each little target is something else. Lose 7lbs (15stone 13lbs) – Done...

Guess what I got today....yep...SOTW :D x

Well today I had my WI and I lost 3lbs! That meant I got my 1.5 stone award! :o) And I also got slimmer of the week. I wanted 2lbs this week, and 2lbs next week, and now i only "need" to lose 1lb for next WI to get my 10%!!!! I'm a happy bunny!

Well done!!! Dont forget to get weighed on the same scales weekly - as docs scales tend to be a bit different at times x

Thanks Chris xx
