Thank you for your replies, to be honest I was planning on going shopping tomorrow for another dress as I highly doubt it would be doable for me to get either of the above dresses to fit well in a week. I guess I was looking for validation (is that the right word) from others that it's not...

My sister gets married next Saturday (13th September) I bought 2 dresses ages ago but have been putting off trying them on as I have been on and off plan recently (more iff than in if I'm honest). I tried them on last night, 1 doesn't quite do up and the other does up but it incredibly tight...

When you get tomatoey pasta sauce on your white shirt while eating your lunch in work. I only dropped 1 piece of pasta but I've ended up with 4 splodges on my top, going to look a right clutz walking back to my desk :(

When I originally started SW it was a combination of the nurse at my GP's surgery saying I needed to "do something about the weight" and a photo from a friend's 30th birthday, my face looked so puffy and I had piggy slits for eyes. I followed plan for about 9months and lost just under 4 and a...

Hi Lucy, I'm type 1 as well, diagnosed 5 years and control is so-so. I've been following SW on and off from home since 2011 and I've found when I stick to plan my control is better. When I stuck to plan 100% I lost nearly 4stone but I've put most of it back on by messing around and eating junk...

For the first week or so I'm the opposite and hypo more often, I guess while my body adjusts to healthy eating again. aha I have an app that use to help work out insulin doses. I've tried some of the newer meters that do it for you but I prefer my older style one that tests blood ketones as...

Diabetes is definitely a challenge honey. I learnt a long time ago that raiding the cupboards when hypo only leads to a raging headache and high sugar levels not long after but I still find it really hard to just have the suggested 15g carbs wait 15 minutes and test again when my brain seems to...

I also agree what you ate doesn't sound like it would cause a 2lb gain. I'm a type 1 diabetic too and when I hypo I raid the fridge and cupboards, it's survival instinct that kicks in. Also when I first started SW I was told not to count syns for treating hypos because it's medical and not...

Forgive me if a sound rude or ignorant but where exactly do you think you've messed up. The only synned foods I can see there are the hash brown, sausage (depending on the brand/type) and the bacon (depending on how it was cooked/whether the fat was cut off). Even if your breakfast was fried...

I've just got home and checked, it was in the March/April SW mag. It's only 200ml for HEA or 3 syns for 100ml, that's for the chocolate no mention of a strawberry flavour. Sorry for the error above. HTH x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I think I read 250ml of the chocolate one can be used as a HEA, not idea about strawberry though. I know Koko also changed their name not long ago. They used to be called Kaka or Kara can't remember which, don't think was any change on recipe/ingredients so might be worth searching using the...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I thought it was not all white or all black but was talking about my outfit in work and one of the girls was horrified and said you can't wear black or white even together to a wedding. I've not been to many weddings so panicked :o

Hi All, Got a question for you all. I have a friend's wedding at the end of the month and I thought I had an outfit sorted but yesterday someone said to me you shouldn't wear black or white to a wedding :S Below is a pic of the dress I was planning on wearing do you think it would be ok?

I was on Microgynon for 5.5 years and only changed to a progesterone only pill due to me being a type 1 diabetic and having high blood pressure.

Might be a bit late now if you were planning on making it last night but I made this last week without the mustard powder and it was fine. I also blended it to make it smooth x

My incentive to start off with was I just didn't like myself, loathed the size I'd gotten to and hated how I looked in everything I wore/every picture that was taken of me. What keeps me going is that I don't want to be a fat bride (no wedding booked yet, I want to get to target first)...

Cheers everyone and I know it's not a personal thing just really annoying. I'm a checker and will check every available bit of info to see if I'm suitable/the flat is suitable before calling people so it's really peeing me off when I'm wasting their time because they didn't put "Over 25's" in...

To all letting agents/landlords in Liverpool, If you will not consider renting to anyone under 25 please can you put this in the ad so I don't waste my credit and both of our times calling for details/arrange a viewing. Just while I'm here, what is it about the age 25? On your 25th birthday...

I got mine in Tesco yesterday. I think it must have just been me/a dud as I've just had another and it tasted normal :D x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

thanks everyone, maybe it's just me x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I hope this is in the right section. Just wondered if anyone knew if the Kelloges milk chocolate fibre plus bars have had a recipe change? I only ask as I used to them then pretty regularly as a heb and loved them and I just eaten one and it tasted really different and not in a good way :( so...

When a DYJHIW turns into a DYJLIW :) To explain, I missed my bus this morning as it was 5 minutes early and whistled past me just as I got to the top of the road. So decided to get the train instead because I can't be bothered waiting 15 mins for the next bus. Got on the train at the time I...

See I wouldn't mind if they called me, it's just the ones that have done this so far have all asked me to call them x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Erm body what's going on? Why have I woken up feeling hungover as hell when I haven't had an alcoholic drink for nearly 2 weeks and even then it was only one so can you please buck your ideas up and make me feel less rough. thanks muchly me x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I've got a couple, firstly 1lb until I reach my halfway point. 3lbs away from my 3stone award and then 5lbs to get into the 12s x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

3lb off for me, so got the 3lb I put on last week back off. Back to 1lb away from the halfway point - I will reach my halfway point next week x

DYJHIW you have another waste of credit phonecall :@ why is it that most jobs have to be applied for via a recruitment agency these days. Just had another call with a recruitment agency where I tick all the boxes on what was in the job ad but they won't be forwarding my application to their...

Well I left him a list this morning (to redeem himself/prove he is useful for something), nothing to strenuous IMO. I asked him before I got home to; Clean the bathroom up after he was sick in there :checkmark green: Change the bed :checkmark green: Polish - partially done (he done the...

When your supervisor lets you finish 40 mins early because it's a nice after and work is dead. OK it's probably also because he can't be bothered staying until 17:30 but still :D x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Is it the mini ones? If so, think they're around 6 syns each x

I've gone back to mainly doing green and red days as I was struggling with 1/3 superfree on EE. Unless I was eating a meal only say 3 different foods I found it hard to judge whether I had my 1/3 superfree so find green and red easier because the 1/3 superfree isn't so strict and I find I...

I got what you meant ColJack. You would be spot on about him being abit of layabout and he may be depressed about his working (ie lack of job) situation but he's not worked for over 4 years and hasn't applied for any jobs in well over 6 months and he does turn to food and internet games when...

Amazing, well done and good luck :cross:

Wow thanks for everyone's replies. The thing is OH's not an alcoholic. I don't know really know what his "problem" is as it’s not just alcohol that was just what he spent his JSA on yesterday (and last fortnight) in the past it’s all gone on gambling, junk food (yes his entire JSA fortnightly...

when Friday finally arrives :D now roll on 17:30 and I'll be a very very happy bunny lol x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Sorry while I'm at it, Dear OH (again sorry), When I asked you to sort the washing in the tumble dryer I didn't mean empty the tumble dryer and leave the clothes in a crumpled heap on top of the dryer. As I recall, I asked you to empty the dryer, fold the pjs and put them away and hang the...

Dear OH, So much for only drinking non-alcoholic drinks from now on. You went out at 2pm today and by the time I got home from work (6pm) your already in bed p!ssed as a fart. Hiding upstairs does not make me any less peed off and if you can't pay your share of the bills because you've wasted...

Feel like I'm going to be in the 13's forever, back to 13st 7 after a 3lb gain this week x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

3lb on for me this week :( totally deserved as I've only been on plan one day in the last week. Going to get back into this week x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

when you work out how long it will take to get to your interview and even done a trial run on saturday and then today end up being an hour early and having it kill time so you don't look really desperate by turning up an hour early x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks Barb. I had a look on the diabetes UK site over the weekend and they advise not saying anything until you've had a formal offer of a job unless asked before then. Got an interview on Wednesday so fingers crossed x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

1lb off for me tonight which I'm really pleased with, was expecting a gain as fell off the wagon a bit after finding out on Friday my whole team is being made redundant. Need 1lb off next week to hit the halfway mark and only 3lbs until my 3stone award x

Hi All, Hope everyone's doing well. I've got a quick question. Found out this morning my team at work no longer have a job come the end of April so obviously thoughts go straight to looking for a new job and this is what's got me wondering. This will be the first time I've been looking for a...

I'll be honest I feel like losing weight as has quite easy but then I don't feel I've had to change much since starting SW. Pretty much eat the same meals with slight tweaks to make them syn free or low syn and have swapped processed snacks for fruit or veg. I've lost 2st 10lb so far since...

My OH does the exact same thing right down to saying I should check it first too x

Stick with it hun the bloating might have something to do with it, have you been eating and drinking enough? I find if I don't drink at least 2l of some kind of liquid everyday I bloat really bad and either STS or gain those weeks. Also have you had any hypos? Not your usual question on here...

DYJHIW your an absolute idiot and rather than putting the washing machine on for an extra spin you put it on a boil wash :mad: hope my work stuff won't have shrunk or anything x

1lb off for me tonight :) x

Are you keeping a food diary? I bobbed around all through Jan and most of Feb then gained 3lb in two weeks and decided enough was enough and started keeping a food diary again. I write everything down and count my syns up at the end of the day and have lost 4lb in the last 2 weeks I've been...

Oooh same round here. I think the rules about traffic lights have changed by mine as well, I seen two cars go through red lights walking to the bus stop and then the bus I got on ran a red light and nearly caused a crash :( x

Awww Barb why would you feel ashamed? Both type 1 and 2 are a steep learning curve. Since diagnosis I've felt type 2 diabetics get a raw deal. From talking to others on diabetic forums type 2 seem to be treated as inferior to type 1s by the medical profession, if I had a penny for the amount...

Lets try it and see if it works hun :) I've been type 1 for 3 years and I get periods like this, have tried to convince myself that the doctors were wrong but always have to face it the end that they're not. Your BG levels sound really good, I'm a bit envious :D x Sent from my iPhone using...

Can't he block her? My OH had his ex on Facebook for awhile "for there sons sake" :S but blocked her because she kept sending nasty stuff when she was in a bad mood and stopped him seeing his son whenever pictures of OH looking happy or us together went on there. Now we just get nasty texts and...

My OH, as long as he's had a coffee fix 1st it's all good lol x

Dear OH Get your stinking behind out of bed!! I have been in work all day and come home to you comatose in bed because you've been out drinking all afternoon :@ If you do decide to grace me with your presence this evening do not expect me to do your tea. Yours your very peed off fiancee x...

We've got a girl who's not bothered about "sharing" bodily functions and lifts her leg in her seat when she farts and finds it hilarous. Our supervisor isn't much better, he annouces everytime he needs the loo and whether it's for a number 1 or 2. Some people were obviously not taught how to...

Thanks Shirleen, that's why I felt such a cowbag as the baby hasn't asked for the mess his mum is/has created. Just had a long chat with mum on the phone, she only found out from a friend who'd seen sis out and about with a bump and this is how the family found out, she'd been hiding it at home...

Dear Self, Yes I do have to go back to work tomorrow as I need the pennies to pay rent/bills/etc it is not an option to go awol never to return, stop daydreaming and enjoy your Sunday evening. On a similar vain, Dear Brain, Please let me sleep tonight. I need a good night's sleep to deal with...

Only thing is Dad doesn't really allow her to behave like it, in that he doesn't allow her to have guys stay over or even in her room at home (until now no-one knew about her seeing both guys). I think because he had no trouble with the 3 oldest of us (there's 5 of us altogether) lying about...
