    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Welcome pos bird.. Thank you everyone, all is settling now and the funeral is next Tuesday. I've weighed in to a big massive 5 lb gain! :( I could blame everything, but I'll be totally honest and admit I have eaten crap and snacked loads and after Thursday, when I knew I'd put on, I gave up...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Hi ladies, sorry its been so long! Adam's sister passed away on Sunday so we have had a really hard, busy week and weight watchers has seriously taken a back seat. We have all been meeting at pubs and me and Adam have been trying to keep his mum busy too so I have eaten out every single day at...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    A late reply from me, just before I nod off. Today has been a better day for me but I have failed to track, so I can't be sure it was a good day. Back on it tomorrow, hopefully the tiredness is wearing off a little - I am still awake now, which is because I am struggling to get comfy thanks to...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Hello everyone, Well done Jo, Chazz & 4ever on your losses. Jo & Marli on your books & new systems. Fingers crossed it helps you both in a change for life! I understand that pointing after weight loss isn't ideal, and why we put it back on so often, so it'll be really great to here if these...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Thank you Jo & Eabha. I am very happy, even though we've been trying, it has come as a slight shock as I'd done 2 tests that were negative when I was late, and then 2 weeks later. I was starting to worry about why I wasn't "coming on" though and obviously this is why! Talk about all over the...

    I will look out for that! Chocolate Philly & Digestives = Low Choc Cheesecake. Mmm. Thanks! I haven't seen the midwife or had a scan yet, but I *think* I am about 8 weeks... that's what she worked it out at over the phone, but will have to confirm that in another few weeks when I've had the...

    Hello, Weighed in and I have lost 2lb. Realllllly chuffed with that, as you know, wasn't looking forward to getting on the scales, so that's fantastic. Wanted to just let you all know now that I am pregnant! :D I would like to get into the healthy BMI range as much as possible before the...

    Well done on doing so well already. You can get to goal in time for your wedding if you stay focused. Have you tried going totally back to week one of joining slimming world and following a set plan for the first week? It could really give you a kick start and boost that metabolism... something...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    I am in the situation where everything shrinks before my tummy. I lose it on my legs really quickly but it takes forever to come off my tummy. I think the only thing you can do is to keep up the exercising and eventually it will start to shrink, but probably never will be as slim as the top half...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Well done everyone! Lisi, Congrats! Niamhs - I have no idea, I was thinking about trying out the DVDs/Workouts on youtube first... And I can tell you now, if I go to a lesson, I will NEVER be getting my belly out!! Never! Well, not unless I am skinny and my stretch marks suddenly vanish...

    The Malteaster Bunny...

    ms brightside- REALLY?! 3 POINTS IN A NORMAL SIZED FLAKE? I have to know. Today I wanted just proper chocolate but didn't want to use too many points up, and was thinking- there must be a chocolate that is low! Creme eggs are 3.5 if I remember correctly, which is what I will usually go for, but...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Sorry, kimmi, just been reading that back. The but about weight fluctuating - Your weight can fluctuate by 2lb in any one day... Not 2 a day! (That is according to the Wii, which shouts at you if you weigh in 15 minutes later than usual! ;))

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Welcome to gurl! Lisi, well done on you being so close to goal too. I didn't realise you were that close. Ahhh, bet you can see the bikini bod in the summer already!! Kimmi, all I can say really is that your weight can fluctuate by 2lb a day anyway and if you are using different scales, in a...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Not just yet... only just dawned on me that it was so soon! This year is flying by already. Will have to have a think and decide what's what. I've no idea about the fitness DVD... I am hopeless at following them, the classes etc. My hands and arms don't move in sync! Haha! So I intend to just...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Eabha :hug99: Don't give yourself a hard time, I know it's frustrating, but at least it's a STS and you've not got to work anything extra off. And there is plenty of time to work off the slip up too. I've just been reading about exercises (wondering what's best for the BELLY! Haha!) What...

    Hello Girls, Just had a quick read through everything - my, oh, my it's busy here! Welcome to Chunky Mummy (and any newbies I have missed out.) And Hello to everyone else. Eabha, it really sounds as though you're confidence is growing by the day! Hope you get that last 1/2 pound from...

    Hello girlies... Haven't read the posts just yet, as I am a little busy and will catch up with them when I can. Just wanted to update my stats after weigh in today - Lost 2lb. :) Which is pretty decent considering I went over on Saturday evening, glad that I managed to make up for it on...

    Hello to all the new members - including "JayW" ;) Ang, thanks for the pep talk. Tonight is night two of the night shift... which is the trial... last night I managed to stay away more than I normally would do, and tried to make healthier choices, but I still think I went over by around 3...

    Ahh, it's picked up a bit on here now, went straight to "Last Page" and I was lost! Busybee :sigh: Not a great time for you then! Definitely - big line and move on. Hope you manage to work something out with your uniform, our pipes are horrendous too. Jo, well done on the measurements, I did...

    It is calm today isn't it! Hope everyone is having lots of fun this weekend. I'm just home now and have been super good with my points so all is well. Eabha, it's been weird for me as there has been no snow and I am in England! Haha! Seemed everywhere was snowing except Cheshire. My mini...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Evening girls. Well Done Lisi!! Kimmi, well done on your weight loss, that's really good!! Fingers crossed for you this next week too. I think it's really easy to confuse the two when you've tried both, especially earlier on. I've found, however, that the more I get back into the discovery...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    There's no extra allowance for weekly points, if you have something planned then you save them up through the week... Old leader used to say you were not allowed to save more than 4 a day though, and to never let it go below 16.... Not sure if that was advice or rules though. But the propoints...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Becca, I feel for you! Hormones are THE WORST! And you are clearly very busy and occupied with other things at the moment too which doesn't help. I can totally relate to the sobbing on the kitchen floor, I have done that too. I spilt some coke on me in the cinema the other night and almost had a...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Marli, I have just put those ingredients into food.com recipe maker and it has brought up the nutritional content of each pancake at 160 cals and 0.8g sat fat ... works out at 2.5 each. However, I always thought that pancakes were very low, so I am not sure if that's correct or not. Plus...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Weighed in, weight loss at 5lb. :bliss: When I weighed in on Saturday morning it was at 6lb, but as I said, I thought that wouldn't be right, and wasn't including that chicken burger! :mad: But still, 5lb is a good loss IMO! And definitely should be able to reach my goal now! :D Niamhs, I had...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Well, I've never taken anything with me to the cinema since I was 15. I took my own drink and sweets in with me and the cinema can do handbag checks, they did one on me and marched me out of there... didn't even just confiscate it, I actually was walked out! Never been so humiliated! Since then...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Oh, and while I am here... Me and OH are having our date night on Tuesday evening. We're going to the cinema and Frankie & Benny's.. I can work out what I will have in F&B's from nutrition info, but I am stuck on what to do at the pictures... Not sure what the popcorn is like, points wise, any...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Evening everyone, just checking in to read the posts, see if I can get to know a bit more about all of you! I was going to read through the thread, but I think it may take me a while! Becca, I'd give it a week too for your body to settle before you hit the diet again! Some things are more...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Thank you UpTheDuff and Becca! I am pleased to be here! :D We are going to Holywell Bay this time, which is a first for us. It's one of my favourite places too, so lovely and chilled and friendly. Hard to believe it's actually the same country at times. I too have been watching Cornwall with...

    SUMMER CHALLENGE 2012 :)

    Please May I Join? Hi Ladies, I am new on here and this is just the challenge that I am looking for. I did WW (Discovery) a couple of years ago after having my son and I went from 12 stone to 10 stone... My ideal weight. I stopped going after we went on holiday and my partner was then...

    Back on WW and looking for support!

    I did that last week! (Stepped on scales and thought - ooops!) I did weight watchers back in 2007 after giving birth and lost all my baby weight. I stopped. Big mistake! I maintained for roughly 6 months and then ended up putting it all back on again, plus a couple of extra pounds. In...
