Hi ladies. Mind if I re-join you? Haven't been on here in quite a while (must be 6+ months I'd say). Must update my stats, but as of this morning I'm 10lbs up on my last stats. Not toooooo bad, but I've been half following SW since start of Jan. Going to put myself down as officially re-starting...

A half off for me this week. A tad disappointed with that, but hey ho, it's all going in the right direction. Alley1985 30lbs (9 lost ~ 21lbs to go) Amy2249 28lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 27lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Baby-belle (2.5lbs lost ~ 7.5lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs*...

Gosh, tis pretty quite over here these days. I'm finding it difficult to find the time to come on here at the moment, and even harder to stick to plan. I've been pretty disastrous this week. Can't seem to stick to EE, and then end up doing a half arsed attempt at a green day, but inevitably end...

Well I lost 3 this week so I'm back in the minuses! Alley1985 30lbs (7.5 lost ~ 22.5lbs to go) Amy2249 28lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 27lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Baby-belle (2.5lbs lost ~ 7.5lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (2lbs lost ~ 29lbs to go) Bobsledwheels 32lbs*...

Well, both Hell and High Water came knocking on my door last Tuesday so I didn't weigh in and then decided I may as well leave it another week!!! So I'm re-starting today. I weighed this morning - 6lbs up from my last weigh in at the start of July. I'd finally broken into the 12stone bracket and...

I've been missing in action for a little over a month now and have managed to GAIN 6lbs, so that's 2lbs more than when I signed up for this thread:cry: Alley1985 30lbs (6 lost ~ 24lbs to go) Amy2249 28lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 27lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Baby-belle...

Hey everyone. I'm baaaaaaack!!!!! Not that I actually expected you all to miss me or anything. Well, we've had a tough few weeks in our household as my hubbie went into hospital for a serious operation. Thankfully it went well and he's now home, so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery...

2 more off for me this week :D Amy2249 28lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 28lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 30lbs to go) caldil 42lbs* (6lbs lost ~ 36lbs to go) Cindersmcphee 42lbs* (0.5lbs lost ~ 41.5lbs to go) Cherry_Blossom 50lb (0lb lost ~ 50lb to go) Chiefbridesmaid 26lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 26lbs...

Howdy all. Just checking in to see if there are any of you from Dublin? Or eats a lot in Dublin? I'm gonna be spending a lot of time there in the next few weeks while my husband is in hospital there, so am wondering are there any particularly SW-friendly places to eat out? Thinking cafes for the...

I was just about to ask were we counting weigh ins from now, but see it's already been answered. In that case, 2 off for me :D Only 26 more to go :( Blue Bunny (31lbs to lose, 0lbs lost) caldil (42lb to lose, 0lbs lost) Cindersmcphee (42lb to lose - 0lb lost) Chiefbridesmaid (26lbs target...

2 off for me this week. I'm pretty happy with that. A teensy bit annoyed to still be in the 13s, but I'd not have deserved a greater loss than that. Not expecting much for the next few weeks tho as I will be living out of a suitcase and consuming ready made meals on trains, planes &...

Hi Kaz. Welcome to Slimming World. As Hoping has said before me, SW really is very good. I think your stone off by September is a very doable goal so I would give SW at least a month before writing it off. I managed a stone in 5 weeks. My losses have slowed down a lot since, but that's to be...

Ooooh, can I join in please? 26 weeks should hopefully be just enough time for me to lose 2 stone, although I'd love to get to target by Christmas but I'm averaging slightly under 1lb a week the last 6 weeks.....hmmm.....nah, I think I'll stick to 2 stone. And if I exceed it, well, woo-hoo...

Right, I think I'll chance it!!!! ETA: Oooh, it appears to have worked :D Ah, glad it wasn't so bad so. Jealous that you're still in the 12s tho :jelous: Wish I were in the 12s. My aim for June was to get into the 12s, and then be 12st 6 by end of July - 3 stone off and still almost 1...

Howdy Mel and other vertically challenged ladies. I'm still short and fat and even had a small gain this week, but really, really, really hoping to reverse that and more next week. A few of us seem to have started out with similar enough weights, as well as similar heights, so this is actually...

How'd you get on today sus_murf? BTW, anyone know how to quote multiple posts or part posts without doing the whole thing in new posts every time? Although it does help to boost my posts number ;)

I've not given them a go - I generally avoid Eddie Rockets as don't feel like there's anything I could possibly eat without blowing my syns, but I would love to hear what ER come back with. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I think I might give it a go over the weekend.

You're definitely not the only one. It doesn't seem to matter what ailment I have, I will still want to eat, and often more than usual or at least not the good stuff. My husband could go off food for days if he's a bit poorly and I've always been so envious of him. He had a tummy bug back at...

Ooooh, well done you. I think I was looking at that dress in New Look last week. If it's the same one it's gorgeous, but I can't really wear maxi dresses as I'm too short. Maybe when I'm a size 12 I might just about get away with one. Have a great day on Sunday.

Good luck for Thursday. Hopefully it won't be as back as you think. I presume you weigh at home, do you? No chance of different scales giving different weights then? I'd a little gain myself this morning - well I normally weigh on Tuesdays but with my erratic results the last couple of days...

Well I changed the battery in the weighing scales last night - which was a feat in itself as it required a funny screwdriver and an even funnier battery - and weighed myself both last night and this morning. Last night it had me at 13st 4 and this morning at 13st 3, so as I normally weigh first...

What day do you weigh in? I'm sure it's just food weight so you'll lose it nice and quick. Do you still have 7 weeks to your holiday (as per your signature?) If so you have loads of time to get to your holiday goal. I've decided I'm going to change the battery in my weighing scales this...

Yay! I did my first quote and it worked :D

I'm fine thank sus_murf. Thanks for asking. Part of me is possibly a little bit sad that there isn't another baby on the way, but for the most part I'm relieved. I would love another baby, but not sure I'm ready for one, and I'm more than a little bit scared about the possibility of PND again...

Well I overslept this morning and ran out of the house without remembering to weigh. I think part of it is psychological as my scales was acting up yesterday ;) Now my dilemma is, do I weigh this evening (when I won't get a true comparison given that I'll have been eating during the day!) or...

I agree Trishka. Although I think I need to shake it up a little bit now - I've been eating a lot of fruit the last few months, especially compared to what I was before SW (mouldy oranges anyone???) but I'm kinda getting to the point now where they don't quite give me that sweet fix I was...

WOW! You look amazing. Congratulations on your weight loss and your engagement. Have you set a date for your wedding? You will make an absolutely stunning bride. I'm a bit confused though as to where you have over 2 stone left to go from:confused:. I wish I was tall. Taller girls definitely...

Hiya, I was in Aldi yesterday. I'm not 100% certain but off the top of my head I think it was cherry tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, lemons, sweet potato, and........I can't remember the last one. They are 45 cent this week (or maybe 49! I'd have to check my receipt). Also, for anyone who didn't...

Well I finally managed to find the chicken bovril - thanks sus_murf. Found it in Tesco MP this evening. No luck with the mugshots tho. Maybe next time. So I've been checking out the KFC chicken recipe...is the chicken bovril "paste" the same thing? Also, have any of you made it? I've only ever...

I had to make an extra hole in my belt this evening -I've gone from the first hole when I started out to the last one (granted it's only got 4 in the first place!) and beyond to a new fifth hole :D Also, hubby said earlier that it was time I bought some new work clothes as I look like a little...

Thanks misspaf. I think I will allow myself a little tipple tonight. I'll probably stick to a West Coast Cooler tho - I barely drink any more and if I were to open a bottle of wine, there's no telling what I'd be like in the morning. Course I know I could just buy a little, 1 glass bottle, but...

Thanks hoping. And well done to you for your 2.5lbs off. You've already done so well, and now with all your trips to the gym - you seem to be really getting stuck into it, aren't you! I still haven't properly tackled the Body Magic side of things. I feel exhausted just reading some of the posts...

Morning all. Well I'm back from my GP. It seems I'm not pregnant. The dr said it could be that I was very briefly pregnant and it didn't take properly, so a verrrrry early miscarriage or chemical pregnancy, or that there was a problem with the first test i.e. I did it wrong or it was an...

Well I'm extremely pleased, but totally dumbfounded, to report a 1.5lbs loss for me this week! No idea how that happened - even less of an idea of how I went from +3 to -1.5 in 24 hours. I really should stay off the scales during the week, as this just goes to show that weight can fluctuate a...

I've had the strangest week and pretty much ate completely off plan so not expecting much for tomorrow's weigh in. I know I should try some damage limitation or at least "draw a line under it" and get back on the plan today, but my head's not in it. I even had a sneaky hop on the scales this...

Thanks farmer me and Kezabel. I've made an appointment with my Dr for tomorrow morning but there might be no point. I've also done another test today and it's negative, although it wasn't the first sample of the day iykwim. Had a quick look on the internet and have read about "false positives"...

Well I am now officially confused as my * week has started :confused: Wonder should I do another test.

Thanks sus_murf. I've just realised my last post was a bit all over the place. I only have the 1 child - he'll be 2 in July so the gap between the 2 would be a nice one. I was already a bit overweight starting my pregnancy (almost a stone), and had bad PND after it, and turned to food to help...

Oh sus. Funny you should say that coz.....well, after claiming I wasn't having any other children, or at least abso-flippin-lutely not until I was at target to give me some hope of losing the baby weight while on mat leave second time around (instead of continuing to gain).....erm......well I...

Well ladies, I got off to a flying (& surprising) start with my weigh in of 2.5lbs off this week - I weigh at home so it's the first thing I do every Tuesday. Anyway, I had to take my little fella to the Public Health Nurse for his latest check-up, and didn't I only end up having to get on the...

Thanks sliminspired (sorry - I don't know how to do quotes!) If it's any consolation, I STS for the second weigh in. Well I lost about a quarter of a pound (when I weighed in kgs), but it was counted as a STS. For a moment there I thought about giving up but I didn't and I'm so glad stuck it out.

Delighted to report 2.5lbs off here this week :D . To say I'm shocked is an understatement, but I aint complaining. I reckon my weight losses/gains take for the second week to show as I was 100% the week before last and STS, but no gold star for my efforts this week gone. Best of luck to...

Mine buys rubbish and quite a lot of it, and almost force feeds me jaffa cakes and cafe noir biscuits coz "sure aren't they very low in fat anyway"! Oh, and suggests I "take the night off from cooking" at least twice a week, only to then suggest a takeaway or him putting a couple of pizzas in...

.......pose for hundreds of pictures with my gorgeous little boy to make up for the last 21 months as I have only been pictured with him once since we came home from the hospital.

Sorry in advance if this grosses ye out a bit, but I had (for me) a major NSV today. For the first time since my son was born I can see the c-section scar without having to lift my roll of flab out of the way! He's nearly 2, and instead of losing the baby weight I went from bigger to bigger, but...

Thanks for that info Sus_murf. I will def be checking out Tesco next time I'm in the MP area. Just one other thing - whereabouts would I find the mugshots? Is it near the pasta? The instant soups? Thanks. Anyway, weigh in for me in the morning. Not feeling too confident about it - and after...

Do any of you know where stocks mugshots? I bought out Aldi when they had them on sale a while back - one of their weekly specials - and they were pretty filling, and not bad tasting. I found them great for when I was hungry between meals, but was either saving my syns or the house was filled...

Actually, those red days don't sound as scary as I thought they would! Maybe I should give one a go - steak night on Friday maybe!!!!

Hiya Mel. I pretty much fit those criteria, although I'm around 13.5 stone now, but I started out at nearly 15.5 stone. But I am 5'4" & 30-something. I won't say exactly what the something is, but having dieted several times before, I can say with absolute certainty that my age is against me...

I've only recently started to do the green days so no 100% sure I've got them right, or have figured out best how to use the plan, but I think I have been doing ok, without exactly being the most adventurous with my food. I've yet to do a Red day so would love to hear what you are eating...

Thanks farmer me. Green days are ideal for vegetarians - which I'm not but I'd happily go all day without eating meat when I'm not cooking for my OH also. With green days you can eat a lot of carbs! It's great if that's what you like. You don't have to stick to the 1/3 superfree rule either...

Can I ask are you all sticking to Extra Easy or Reg/Green, or do you mix it up a bit? I've been looking at my diary this week and I did EE every day. The previous 2 weeks I had at least 3 days of Green each week and my losses were better. Perhaps I should stick more to Green? Save EE for the...

Ooooh, a good few of us from Cork is seems. I have also seen the Quark in Dunnes in Blackpool and Mallow. I havent looked recently for the Fromage Frais but they used to have it in Tesco in Mallow. Then again that was before the days of the Change for Good (hmmm :rolleyes:) when they seem to...

Well done hoping. What an incredible loss. Unfortunately I also stayed the same. I'm gutted actually. I know it's not up but I was so good this week and only needed a half pound for my 2 stone shiny. Guess I'll have to up the exercise or something :eek:

I reckon I currently weigh about 4 stone more than my husband, and that's after losing nearly 2. He's always been pretty skinny, rarely going over 11.5 stone, but he's been sick lately and is worryingly thin at the moment. I sure hope he finds it easy to put some weight on when he's better, coz...

Hi all. I'm new here to the website - signed up about an hour ago - but have been doing SW on-line for the last 3 months. There are no classes near me but I'm going to do it alone now that my 3 months subscription has expired, and report my losses (hopefully) on here every week. Yesterday...

Morning ladies. Mind if I join in? My name is Liz and I live in North Cork. I'm a mum of 1 absolutely adorable, but very energetic toddler son. I've been a yo-yo dieter for as long as I can remember. About 6 years back I weighed in at just under 9 stone, about 2 years later I was over 12 stone...
