My mum passed away in December at 67. Morbid Obesity was a contributing factor. I don't want that on my death certificate. Losing weight will mean I won't. FACT I am currently on 39 tablets a day. I have high BP. High cholesterol. ME/ CFS/ Fibromyalgia. Underactive thyroid. Calcium deficiency...

Nope, it's normal! Unfortunately my daily work is run the same way..... I LOVE helping my clients, but at the end of the day, it's a business that needs to be profitable in order to function, invest & improve!

I have PCOS and had ridiculous problems with my cycle. Many miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy. Weirdly when I was was put on the Myrena Coil (Coil with slow release hormone) my periods and all the pain stopped within a couple of years (plus the bonus that it is only changed every 5 years!!!)...

Well done you!! That's a fab loss.... it WILL happen!!! ;)

As you are still logging in.... can I dare to hope that you have remained at target since Katiem??? Coz that is very well done after such a speedy loss! (There's hope for me yet!!) ;)

Oh no!! It's ace (I especially like it with raspberries and strawberries!!! I made it in two cake tins and turned in into a "cake" too.... it was fab... will find you a pic!!! ;)

And so you should do!! 10.5lbs loss is ace in that short time span!!!! I hope mine will add up to that much by the time I hit the scales on Tuesday night.... I have been soooo good!! :D I've been super naughty and had a mid week weigh session... and VERY happy with what they said.... let's just...

Absolutely!!!! I did the real "Sink Reflection" tactic 2 days ago.... and am giggling to myself as my hubby has been sooooo good at keeping it up!!!!:D And on top of that, my daughter came down from her room last night.... with her friend in tow.... and two black sacks of clutter that she...

I'm actually glad I read FlyLady's inspiration first (it seemed the logical thing to do!!! ;);)) Sidetracked Home Executives: Amazon.co.uk: Pam Young, Peggy Jones: Books Sink Reflections: Amazon.co.uk: Marla Cilley: 9780553382174: Books And yes Karen I don't think I would have done it...

Hey Dory, have you tried having your Weetabix with chopped banana on it instead of sugar? Saves using any syns and I don't think I could ever go back after trying is for a few weeks!!! I LOVED my sugar on them before.... think I'd :9529: at the taste now!!!! SAVE THOSE SYNS...

I can be just as bad, but I'm lucky that I have a brain that tells me: Gain = be super good or else!!! Loss = Well done- could beat hubby this week so be even BETTER!!! I NEED some Slimmer of the Weeks behind me hahaha I do like to do a "naked-morning-weigh-after-trip-to-the-toilet" Too...

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm Jessie..........

Mmmmmm yyeeeaasssssss!!! SO with you there Pinkelle!!! ;) Rare I PROPER like someone on the telly..... but phoooaarrrr!!!;) I'm almost embarrassed in case my hubby can see me drooling!!!!! :eek::eek::rolleyes:

Obese: a year to save my life cos you get to see the before and after within the hour!!!! This one was good cos she went to work full-time too with a stressful job!!! And Jessie asked her to do FOUR hours a day of exercise!!!!!!!! We noted that this was the first mention of "how much" in any...

I wish I had saved them, but hubby is VERY precious about the amount of used space on the Virgin Box. :mad: I haven't given up my Lurpak.... even if 1 teaspoon is 1 syn.... it's worth it!!!! One of the things I luuurrvve about Slimming World.... you can have anything in moderation!!!! xxx :D

Have you guys been watching "Obese: A Year to Save My Life"???? Soooooo motivating too!! Several of them have lost around 10 stone in a year too.... fantastic!! We've got no worries!!!! ;)

I am ssoooooooooo with you there Emmey.... it's the realisation that it's so achievable that keeps me so motivated.... along with all our trials and tribulations too..... the real life stuff that can sometimes get in the way. :bolt: But NOT this time around!!!

Phew.... it's literally taken me TWO DAYS to catch up with this thread!!! I read ... and liked... and read.... and liked, but never made it to the end.... tooooo much to comment on except "aren't we all doing well??!!!" I had a 1.5 loss bringing me to 8 in three weeks so happy with that...

OK..... so thanks for the FlyLady links.... I have read the "Sidetracked Home Executives" book and am part way through Sink Reflections" but have taken the time out to defrost the freezer!!!!! (Yay! It was desperate!!!) I go back to work on Monday, but I know the key thing in the house is...

Go you MM!!! I ventured into the cupboard under the stairs...... came up for air several hours later!!! Then got a phone call saying that our new sofa is being delivered tomorrow, so thought it best to move the existing chairs out, hoover and wash the floors etc AND empty the top, drawers and...

Fair play to you Lucia!! I didn't realise that our children could do it too!!! I may have to drag my DD along .... a great deal of "C" in our family on both sides..... a VERY worthy cause! :family2:

This would sort out our sinks!!!! Couldn't believe it when I accidentally came across this today!!!!

I am sooooo up-to-date with the washing & ironing that I ironed the damp clothes this morning (waaaayyy easier!!) so they can get put straight away once they are dry hahahaha ;)

Oh yes!!! without ANY question of doubt!!!! In fairness, as I have been at home for the past 7 weeks (bereavement leave) I have been soooooo focused!!! Cleaning has helped to distract me.... I have one HORRENDOUS room (I have nicknamed it the "indoor shed" where there is just a pathway through...

Weirdly I ensure I don't overdo the carbs EVER- my weird logic says that when sooo many other diets reduce the carbs- I prefer to have other veg than potatoes (we also weigh our rice and pasta to between 75-100g per serving too). I REALLY appreciate the extra HEA & B.... to be fair, it...

Crumbs, I don't read this thread for a whole day and it's taken me over an hour to catch up!!!! :D I had my first green day on Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed the extra HEA & B. Just measured myself too and recorded so I can do some "after" comparisons..... how did my waist get THAT...

Forgive me for being stupid, but in the new book and on the website I can no longer see the Oats So Simple sachets.... only as a syn (even the Original is 5 syns.... EEEeeeeEEEEkkkkk) PLEASE shout me if I'm wrong!!!!! ;)

Fabulous!!!! :happy096::patback::girlpower::winner: :thankyouthankyou: :0clapper: (Especially in THIS economic climate :cry:)

Good luck with WI tonight!!!! :D

I would LOVE an Actifry... but there seems no way of convincing the DH :cry: Hey ho!!! I'll keep trying!!! ;)

I couldn't agree more.... I had envisaged my journey being several years, but I now see this Christmas as an attainable goal!!!! x

Wk17 (11.1.12) - 3.5 off! Back on track Weigh to go!!! (did you see what I did there??!!!!) (Gonna be a long day!!!! ;)

Good luck!!!! :greenapple:

There's a book??!!!! I'm sooooo on Amaqzon in a mo!!!!! ;)

I confess I have been adding the tomatoes & beans together for a full breakfast.... but to make less pots for the wash!!!

I have saved the picture.... going to add it to my SD card and print of a "few" (fridge, cupboard etc!!!)

Have a good day Cathy!!! Thinking of you!!! :wave_cry: Nikki xxx

We just use cheap boring own brand porridge oats.... nothing special, but that's good cos it means there's nothing added!!! ;) Ok so I had my weigh, a few too many syns the past two days but still a 1.5lbs loss!!! abigailsmummy 84lb~3lb lost broadsbean 84lbs~ 4 lbs lost Bron 84lbs~ 7.5...

Maybe I need that picture on my fridge!!!!?????!!!!!

My consultant has a plate with the 1/3 drawn on it with pretty pictures to "visualise" the quantities. I have never eaten so much fruit & veg in my life!!! But realise I hadn't been thinking about it that "logically" before..... I do the Mugshot thing at lunch, followed by fruit. I way just...

Hi there I think it's WAAAAAaaaaayyyy easier than WW... I DO think it's harder to follow without the group or website support. But not to say it wouldn't work! You could at least do with the guidance pack.... could you join then leave????!!!! As for your husband's comment: well, there's...

We have either: 2 x weetabix and skimmed milk (HEA & B) with chopped banana (syn free) or Half a melon filled with berries & either Fat Free Yoghurt or Fromage Frais (syn free) or add Shredded Wheat Bitesize (HEB) for a crunchy treat or Scrambled/ fried/ or poached egg on 2 x wholemeal toast...

OMG.... Thank you sooooo much.... can't believe how excited I am by a blimmin' cleaning website!!!! :happy036::giggle::bliss:

PS... the doctor has signed me off for another two weeks :eek::, so I do have the time at the moment too xxx :girlpower:

Oh Vicki - I'm sorry :cry: If I can do anything to help please shout me (and I mean that!!!) I spend every day helping people into work. If you want help with CVs/ Cover letters etc, etc, I am more than happy to help :bighug:

Ok.... so here goes mine!! My name is Nikki - I have no idea where the "urban princess" thing came from but use it in all sorts of places where I wish to remain (semi!) anonymous!! (because of my clients mainly- see below!) I work on a JobCentre Plus contract supporting the long term...

On that note.... my bathroom is desperate.... the pedal bin has magically spread out empty shower gel & shampoo containers across the floor, and DH & DD seemed oblivious and just left it there this morning..... I've done the first step.... there is an empty binliner on the stairs waiting to...

With several of us starting at the same time, maybe it's an idea to keep in contact to track our progress & support each other when/ if things go off track a little???? Nikki x

Fabulous!!! I shall try this next time!!! :thankyou:

Have any of you seen those pictures of what a pound of fat actually LOOKS like.... (It's approximately a "mug" in size) Now THAT's motivation when you think of "only a pound!!"

Oooh Bron!!!! From the least I realised that last weeks 5lbs wasn't on there!!! I can't believe I didn't add THAT little beauty on.... phew!!! (weigh in tomoz evening) Have a fab day!! :bighug: Nikki x Abigail'sMummy 84lbs ~ 3lbs lost broadsbean 84lbs~ 4 lbs lost Bron 84lbs~ 7.5 lost...

This is the cheapest place I found it: Ladies Berlei Move X Bra Rare for me to find something I actually feel "safe" in- but this definitely does the job (for anyone else, it goes up to an F Cup!) :D Nikki x

Just Can't wait to do a comparison in a few months time!!!! Well done to you all!!!

This is where I hope to be!!!! Loving SW already!!!! Thank you for sharing!

Tee hee me too!!!! I spent £35 on a BEAST of a sports bra to hold in my EE/F's ..... they're not going ANYWHERE- proper strapped down!!! :8855:

All above are right, when you sign the "Registration Form" there is a "tick box" especially for shift workers, make sure you speak to your consultant.... this means they don't charge you the weekly fee if you miss a week as you were working, but, as said above, you do have the option of...

I've had the same conversation with my hubby!!! (I'm on your side!) He adamantly refused, so I told him to put the fruit on my plate then!!!! ;0)

I sooo agree with these principles.... and have been UBER good the past few weeks (but for sad reasons) My mum passed away last month & has lived with me for over a decade, so technically we gained a room.... which has now become .... a gym!!!! I have also worked my way around almost all of the...

I started SW on 3rd Jan & agree, it really is sooooo easy!!! Makes me wonder why I didn't do it before!!!! It really is just "healthy eating" and is sooooo logical! I am following Extra Easy... how about you?

Hi there everyone.... It's taken me on and off two hours to read through this thread!!! Have decided to be a cheeky mare-bag and add myself onto the list! Started SW on 3rd Jan and first weigh last week was a 5lb loss (but I have 6 stone 1lb to lose!!!) My little brother gets married on 28th...

Excellent idea!!!!;)

That definitely needs trying and hadn't spotted it on the website!!

I've never considered this as a way of cooking my mushrooms!!! Do they taste a tad "watery" like this? (one reason I don't like tinned or frozen mushrooms) Other than that, I do mine exactly the same :)

So very true!!!

I was happy with a 5lbs loss on my first week!!! Gutted now lol!!! Well done you & keep up the good work :-)

Ahh Roziee!!! A woman of my own heart!!! My little bro has just announced that their date is set for 28th April so I have 15 weeks- using the 2lb goal, that's still 30lbs/ over 2 stone!!!! I'd be happy with that! :p

I have been SUCH a good girl I'm in shock!!! 5lb loss this week so yippeeeee for my first week!! I have struggled to remember to write on here, so must get my act together!!! I have been SO good with my superfree it's ridiculous! Yesterday comprised of: banana, melon, orange, 2 x...

Ok... so today: tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, banana, apple, clementine (not my best!!) Plus 15 minutes on Vibro Plate & 30 minutes walking...... does about 3 hours of cleaning count too lol??!! I also made a 1/2 syn Fruit Roulade... hubby was UBER happy with that when he came back from the...

I feel sooooo stuffed on fruit!!! It's a FABULOUS feeling! Did an extra 15 minutes on the vibro plate and then 30 sit ups.... this really is not the old me!!! Still only on 1/2 syn today, think it's now bath then read in bed time!!! ;-) xxx Well done guys!!!! :-)

OOOHH... how could I forget the exercise!!! 30 minutes on the vibration plate and an hour (between hubby & I) on Kinect - Your Shape Fitness Evolved (that killed me!)

Ok, so SF today = Tomatoes (lots!!) baked beans in tomato sauce bananas bacon clementines pears garlic mushrooms eggs apples Stuffed to the brim too!!!! Made a SW pizza on wholemeal pitta using my HEA & HEB for the Pitta & the Cheese..... scrum-diddly-umptious!!!! Only had half a...

A person with my own sense of humour lol..... I am realistically aiming for 12, I was 11 when I gave birth to my daughter, was probably 10stone last at school!!!! ;)

Me too please!!!! I joined my local Slimming World Group last night and on here yesterday (REAL newbie so please bare with me!!!!) 16stone 1lb last night...... 10stone would be fabuloso!!!!! Hubby has been going since September & has lost 3.5 stone already..... he was 23 12..... with a goal of...
