Hi, I started today too, so am happy to buddy up :). I have done cambridge in past and liked it, and and the good weight loss. Am liking slim and save so far, love the fact there are "meals" ... Have ordered 4 weeks worth.... Good luck :)

the leek and potato soup is awful, i hated it, veg soup is ok you can have the cartons and bars after two weeks, which are better x

yes, my husband says, "before when you wore that your belly stuck out!" how nice not

I have lost 20lbs in 4 weeks :D I am so happy. I know I look a lot better, and different clothes are fitting me. but it feels a bit strange and people commenting on how i look etc do you get used to it

I might be able to, I can't see anything to choose though, what would you choose? I want to plan ahead so I know what I'm doing for friday....

Hi, thanks for reply, its not the acid, its more windy type feelings in my stomach. antacids generally settle it down

are these allowed? or not? am on ss+ thanks

thanks all for putting my mind at rest :)

thanks. I am so far loving cambridge, and I have done a lot of diets. I love getting up in the morning and weighing less than the day before!

Hi All :wave_cry: how common are gallstones with a vlcd. I am on week two of cambridge and the thought scares me a bit???

I found out I was expecting my little girl on our 2nd anniversary too! :p I didn't put on 30lbs with either of my pregancies. Don't really know how much, but within a week or two I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Maybe cos my pre-pregancy weight was overweight to start with :o

:D Congratulations, that is fantastic news :D

I lost 3 1/2 this week!

Can I join please. I fell off the wagon with 7lb gain :mad: I weigh in every monday night at class. 6 weeks with a loss EACH week is just what I need :)

Hi all I fell off the wagon big time :mad:. I missed two weigh ins (holiday first week, course away with work second week) so had 3 weeks without being weighed! I put on 1/2 stone! :eek: . I'd lost 1st 4lbs and was only 1/2 lb away from my club 10. I am now back to where I was in february...

:( I feel your pain. I didn't go to class last night. I have had 5 days off plan :sigh: and have gained about 4lbs. I feel sluggish and miserable....but today am back on track :p. Will see how much of the 4lbs I can lose by next weigh in. Just bite the bullet and go on Friday. Accept any...

I did this with a 1KG bar of cdm I had left over from xmas. I weighed out 7 1/2 syns worth (4 squares if you are interested :p) and wrapped them in tin foil. This way I know what i can have and can count it.

My consulant categorically said if you mash a banana you have to syn it!!! I can't agree! I get the smoothie thing and the cooking thing (you eat more than the "raw" state). I fail to see how mashing a banana gives it a syn value. You mash it in your mouth to swallow it, so what is the...

Sounds delicious, will have to give them a go!

what are sw hash browns?!?!??! I love hash browns! :)

I'd take the chocolates in the generous spirit they are offered! I would also syn them and eat them!

Why not go to an extra easy day and have the sausages and pasta tonight.

My slimming happiness was stepping away from the chocolate muffin last week (I posted friday) and losing 2lbs this week! I also have had to put a belt on my trousers today!!

thanks, I think I have done it now!

Sorry if this is not the right place, but how do I add slimming world award pictures to my signature?!!? thanks

Good luck with your smear results. Its not something I've experience with :hug99: I hope things turn out ok and you can proceed in your baby quest :)

thanks for the replies :) I suppose I do feel deprived. Its been 10 weeks now. I know its a change of lifestyle..but I've a few bad habbits to break. Muffin is still unwrapped ;)

Hi I've managed to lose 1st 1 1/2 lbs so far. Last two week been slow as only 1/2lb each week. Have caved in this week already and had takeaway pizza. Practically ate my own body weight in pizza. I've had 7 1/2 syns already today and am staring at a 12 syn muffin. I'm out for a meal...

chick peas in med sauce = yuk chick peas in masala sauce, slightly better! Not a patch on chickpea dahl

which is why I stated don't rely on it! A lot can happen in even 9 months. You could be financially secure at the start and lose your job half way through. You could get a promotion half way through as well. Just saying dont' base your whole decision on your current financial position...

Just one more thought (but not one to rely on!!!)....you don't know how long it will take to concieve a child. It took us 1 year to conceive my first..plus the 9 months of pregnancy....who knows where you might be financially in 1 3/4 years time. ;)

:) Money means NOTHING when you have children. You will cope. I have two, and yes, you will never have another penny to spend on yourself.............but you DON'T CARE!!! Looking into the beautiful face of the person you have created is all that matters!

9 :p I've just eaten one! My entire syns for the day are gone already, all on easter eggs!

chick pea dahl and couscous in my new fast food. You can be through the door and eating it within 5 mins!! And its gorgeous!

Hi all Have been doing sw for 6 weeks now. Have lost 10 1/2 lbs (it was 11 1/2 but I put on last week :cry:) I'm finding the meals no problem to stick to (green and extra easy) but am really craving my syns. I'm had 15 today already and could easily eat 15 more. Its not "hunger" but craving.

I find it fine, and in fact much easier to stick to. I don't get more bloated. I think it is easier to fit into family life and also meals out etc. A shame it does not work for all :)

Hi I lurke daily, but thought I'd ask a question and say hello :) I have looked up Sainsbury's taste the difference white chocolate and rasberry cookies online. They claim to be 4 syns! This can't be right as they are huge! I have eaten one anyway! does anyone know if that is right? fp...

Hi All I have just found this site. I am doing the slimming world diet. I have been going for 5 weeks now (this time :o) and am determined to stick to it. I have lost 6 1/2 lbs so far. I have a little boy 3 years old and a little girl 3 months old. I struggle with snacking and...
