    Negative comments !!!!

    I'll be honest, that sounds like envy talking. I know it's not nice to hear comments like that, but try to remember where they're coming from ;)

    Diet coke?

    Part of the theory around the concerns about diet coke is that it TASTES sweet but your body doesn't get any nutrients from it, leading it to 'retain' more of the next cals you put in... Personally, I think it's twaddle. I drink diet pop and the weight's coming off me fine. I don't drink...

    May I ask, how are things generally with him? Have there been other issues of late or was this totally out of the blue? Regardless, here's some virtual ((hugs)) from me as no matter the motivation or situation, that's not a nice thing to hear. x

    Can anyone help me guestimate ...

    Whereas my partner started 3xl at 6'2" with 46" jeans (but his tend to sit hips) and weighed 24st 6lb. So I'd say it's really hard to say. Likewise, I'm 5'11" and started size 24/26 in jeans, at 24st 1lb. We both carry it oddly though. (we've each lost a stone so far (3 weeks in) and clothes...

    Whats for tea tonight?

    Tonight is weigh in (should probably sleep before then lol) so after that there will be syn free steak burgers, likely with a bun, plus hexa cheese, some syn free chips and some form of superfree - if I can be bothered a healthy coleslaw would be nice, failing that a salad!

    A few in our group do chat on when others (even the con) are speaking - drives me batty - but they're all long-standing members so can't really say much!

    Children at class

    Most classes are fine with it - I know mine is, one lady takes her little girl who tends to run off to the playroom (it's in a church). Occasionally we've had smaller kids in who got a bit agitated (perhaps tired) but generally parents take them outside to get them to calm down a little... Now...

    Recovering from Binge eating - is the slimming world diet way forward?

    As someone who has suffered for a long time without accepting it (until comparitively recently) with binge eating (not Bulimia), I've found I seem to be desperate to binge less since starting SW. I'm not sure why, but I am. Doubt that's really any help, just my experience.

    What do eat on weigh in day!!

    I know this might look odd coming from a noob, but I did WW years ago, and I always ate fairly normally on WI day except that I would avoid anything seriously heavy for lunch.

    Why the back fees if you miss meetings?

    Not just that, but do you not think that if they didn't there wouldnt be a section of "members" who decided they only needed to go once a fortnight or even month? I think so. Then they'd declare SW/WW/whatever to be "rubbish" and veer off, likely. Just my 2p.

    'Britain's fattest teenager' regains weight after losing 14st

    True, but when it's all a person has ever known, all they've been raised with...? I honestly think the girl is a victim - but that in the same sentence, she could choose not to be, to refuse to be bound by her upbringing. I hope she manages to, for her sake.

    confused about syns at nando's

    The current page on the SW site (go to "useful features" and type "nandos" in the search field) says that with the skin removed, you should estimate "a few" syns for the marinade and oil that may have been used in the cooking process. Not certain what their est on "a few" is but 3? 4? Maybe...

    Salad on holiday?

    'Britain's fattest teenager' regains weight after losing 14st

    I do blame the parents in this case - yes she may well have been their carer but I'm pretty sure they had at least some say over the food bought and eaten. She was very big from a very young age... not just that, but she's said herself that the NIGHT she got back from fat camp her mum bought...

    Bigger people can have more syns?

    I'm 24st and my consultant never mentioned it... though it stands to reason, as larger people can have more energy/cals and still maintain/lose weight, as we use more. I'll still be sticking to my 5-15 though I think :)
