Well done Alfietinker! I lost 3.5lbs this week, really chuffed with 8.5lb in two weeks!

I think it's a great idea! I have 4 young children, including a baby, and I cook the same food for all of us so that forces me to cook 'proper' healthy food. Slimming World is fantastic for this! Have you seen www.slimmingeats.com? There are some amazing recipes on there! We had a delicious...

I do 3 green days during the week as I don't love meat and I like having more Healthy Extras - it doesn't seem to affect my weight loss :-)

Good luck! Sometimes a change is just what you need!

Hi :-) I take it you're doing Extra Easy? Are you making sure you're having 1/3 superfree food with each meal? Perhaps an example of what you've eaten over the course of a day might help x

I messed up yesterday - started on a green day then ate an Extra Easy meal at dinner time! At least it's better than I'd usually eat! I'm lucky enough to have my period at the moment (I get them back ridiculously early despite breastfeeding!) and I could eat and eat and eat! I've just had an...

..or you can get a Lenny Lamb, Storchenweise or Hoppediz wrap for aroubd £50 or something with buckles like a Connecta for similar money. It can be better to buy a wrap second hand so it's already broken in. Try FB group 'Slings and Things FSOT and Advice'. How's everyone getting on? I can't...

You shouldn't back wrap in a stretchy, they're not secure enough - but Mobys sell for decent money on ebay if you need to upgrade :-) I only back wrap around the house so far, I like to have her in front of me when we're out! So, my first week and I lost 5lb! Got lots of new recipes to make...

Ooh, I see you're not far from me (Shaftesbury) and you're a fellow wrap user :D

I'm really annoyed with myself for not sticking with the diet before my baby was 6 months old - all that extra food! I just wasn't ready to be good then :D

Hi everyone, I'd love to join you if that's ok? I am mummy to 4 children aged 7 months, 3, 5 and 7 and I am bfeeding the baby and doing SW online/from home. I would like to lose about 3 stone. I've done SW lots in the past and enjoy it :-) Still always manage to go off the rails though...

I got quite in to running last year and it was brilliant for my weight loss at SW. When I was really good and stuck to both my running and the SW plan I'd lose 3-4lb a week and when I wasn't so good on the SW plan the running compensated for it! I also got muscles for the first time -...

That would be lovely :D

Thanks all for your replies. I have the SW booklet for pregnant/breastfeeding mothers as I was breastfeeding my second little one until very recently. There's actually no change to the plan during pregnancy but once you're breastfeeding you get a trillion or so extra Healthy Extras - can't...

Hi All I've used this site for information in the past but haven't really posted but would like to join in if that's ok? :) I lost 2.5 stone last year at a SW class but stopped going to class and fell off the wagon bit style when I got pregnant! I'm now 15 weeks gone (with my third) and have...

Hi Steph, what do sf (as in sf vanilla latte) and bns stand for? Here's my day, Success Express: B - 2 Weetabix (Hex B and Hex A) L - Tuna Nicoise, 1/3 tuna and new potatoes, 2/3 hard boiled egg, green beans and salad, fat free dressing Tea - Ham and Baked Bean Toastie, 1/3 ham and baked...

Poor you Irene. I know how frustrating it is, especially when you've stuck to the plan. In the grand scheme of things half a pound is so negligible, it barely registers on the scales. I bet if you carry on as you have been you'll have a big loss next week. I've been mixing it up with Mix2Max...

It's definitely a good option if you're starting to get bored and it's less complicated than it sounds!

Hi Ruthy Basically you get 3 red or green 'plates' of food a day. On top of this you have your usual syns and healthy extras. If you eat syns outside of your main meals (snacks/starters/deserts) you count the highest syn value if the red/green syn value differs. If you have a meal (eg...

Success Express again today (trying to un-do the weekend!): B - 2 Weetabix and Milk (HE B and HE A) L - Spaghetti (1/3) and Quorn Meatballs in Tomato Sauce (2/3). Leftovers! T (for tea lol!) - BLT Sandwich (1/3 Bacon, 2/3 Lettuce and Tomato) (HE B) D (for dinner!) - Steak and potatoes (1/3)...

I regularly lose the plot too :o I don't know why I do it, I have such enthusiasm one day and the next I'm knowingly munching through all sorts of things I shouldn't! The key for me is going to class and staying for the talk even if I've put on, I'd be too embarrassed to put on weight 2 weeks...

Hi Amanda I just joined this site today too. I have 2 young children and love that the meals I eat on this plan are all fresh so they're suitable for them too. Have you looked at the sticky at the top of this forum with all the recipes and meal ideas? Also, if you've joined a group, log on...

I didn't realise until recently that you can have 4 meals a day if one of your meals consists of only superfree/hexs (breakfast for me). I don't need to think about snacks when I'm having 4 meals a day lol. I lost 4.5lbs on my first Mix2Max week! You can always try it for a day and change...

I've never had much luck with red days either, I get too hungry without all my carbs! These past couple of weeks of starting doing Mix2Max though and I love it. I have cereal or toast for breakfast (so it's neutral) then 3 more red or green meals. I usually only have a red lunch (so I can...

Hi everyone I've been using this site every now and again, mainly for recipes and meal ideas, but wondered if you'd mind me joining you properly? I'm Kelly, 30, and I live in Dorset with hubby and my 2 children aged 2.5 and 10 months. I've done just about every diet going since I first...
