I am rejoining tomorrow and would like to buddy up, I have around 4st 7lbs to loose and like others my downfall is junk food as well as having a few health problems that make things harder than they already are. I feel like I'm finally in the right place now to finally shed this weight.

I'm going to be as good as possible although by the last couple of weeks it's going to be mega hard! I want to sts or gain no more than 1 lb because I had a gain this week...not good news :( still I'm looking forward to the new year doing the right plan...SW of course :)

Thank you for replying, it's nice to know there's someone out there, I've only started treatment far week ago today, I'm on 30mg of carbimazole and I'm hoping this helps. My mum now has an under active thyroid but hers goes up and down, years ago she had to have the radioactive iodine treatment...

Hiya, I have pcos, endometriosis, metabolic syndrome and now an overactive thyroid and after trying ww loads of times, rc and dukan and doing sw a few times this is my fourth time doing sw and this is my most successful time dieting ever, I don't loose big amounts but if it goes down or stays...

Anyone???

Bump...anyone?

Hiya, I've just started being treated for an overactive thyroid and amongst the other not nice symptoms I have found that my appetite has dramatically increased and I feel like my stomachs eating itself and I need to eat food good or bad but I seem to be eating mainly bad I know that I need to...

Michele- I do the same thing! I will be really good for days and then out of nowhere I binge (mainly on chocolate) I hate it! It all started for me when I got pregnant with my son when I had alot of bad things happen and this has been going on for 7 years now :( but I'm not as bad as I used to...

Brill, well done you!

P.s. if you do binge try and get back on it as soon as possible (that's what I try to do) and I'm sure your going to be FAB at fifty!

Hi, I take meds for mental health too so I understand how they play havoc with appetite and gaining weight having them with other meds and health probs I have to have have made me gain around 3 stone :/ Good luck and I'm here if you need to chat.

Thank you :D, I'm ready for my second week now

I know it doesn't seem like much but for me it's great ?.

Hi, I've just re joined sw and I'm a verrrrry slow looser. Can I join your group please? :)

Wow congratulations, you look great! Ill look forward to seeing your food diaries when you do them :)

Thank you :) x

I too have pcos and I find it so hard to loose weight, my gp said to me that if someone with my problems (I am on meds also) looses 1/2 lb every couple of weeks that's really good! I know it's hard not to be disappointed when you've been trying so hard, try to look at though your weight is going...

Well done, that's brill! It's great when things start to click :)

Hi, I have rejoined sw for the fourth time :s I was doing ww but for the last few months it wasn't working for me and I'd been thinking of joining sw again for a little while because I thought its time I took charge of my weight once and for all. So far 5th day in and I'm loving it! This time...

I tried them and got really constipated and gained weight, I didn't like them at all I'm afraid. But that doesn't mean they won't work for you though.

I'm a single parent but have my mum for support. I'm back at group tomorrow and I've bee trying the distraction technique by reading a novel and magazines :) and I'm going to try the things you all have suggested. Wishing everyone well and Thank you x

Hi, Thank you all for replying, I've decided to draw a line and start again tomorrow although my wi day is on a Wednesday. And like you said to take it a day at a time. I've found online a pic of a plate which shows you how much of each food group you should eat so I'm going to be getting a...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a while, basically I've been yo yo dieting since around winter 2010 and have signed and re signed up for ww more times than I care to remember and I'm still in the same place as I was in 2010. I'm an emotional eater and just when I think I'm doing ok everything...

Hi can you add me please. 7lbs, thank you x

Thanks for your replies, it's really good to know that people out there are loosing weight that have what I have. I wouldn't mind any weight loss as long as it's a loss. I'm feeling a bit more positive now.

Yay so glad to find someone else out there :) is there anyone else out there?

Thanks for replying ladies. I have tried sw before but I always gained and never lost and I've tried vlcd but I couldn't stick to it. I think I'll stick with ww I just hope I start loosing and soon, I don't mind how much I loose as long as I loose!

Hi, Is there anyone out there that has pcos and/or metabolic syndrome? How are you doing on ww? Are you loosing weight?

Hi, I have pcos and metabolic syndrome and I've been trying to loose weight for 3 years now and the most I've lost has been 10lbs and I've basically gained and lost it and now my weight loss has come to a halt altogether and I'm just putting weight on. Has anyone else had the same and how did...

This happened to my mum when she was doing the old ww plan and then on the 6th week she lost 6 lbs, do you go to a meeting? If you do perhaps you could talk to your leader and they might be able to give you some tips and advice.

Thank you both for replying. I got an offer from ww giving me 50% off plus another £2 off if I re joined for 3 months again so I took them up on their offer so I'm officially a ww online member...again. Ready to give it my all for 3 months and to see how I go... Fingers crossed my journey will...

Hiya, That sounds good to me! I just have to make the commitment for 3 months to ww now :s

Bump :)

Hi, I have done ww many times in the past, i did pro points and had varying success as well as SW and RC. Im currently calorie counting but to be honest i have got obsessed with calorie counting, and fed up with being obsessed :(. So i thought about coming back to WW, i got an email through...

No not yet as there my Xmas present to myself, but on another group I belong to a lady on there uses a lot of recipes from them most days. That's what tempted me to buy them

Do you know if we will we get these at this weeks meetings?

Yay someone replied :) usually that's what I do but I couldn't pass an offer of 50% off. Thanks for replying :)

No one has any favourite ww cookbooks out there?

Out of interest does that include new members who join? And will these replace the current blue ones? Sorry for all the questions

Bump :)

Ooooo I can't wait to find out the new changes, if it helps me loose weight I'm all for it!

Hi, I was wondering what everybody's favourite Weight Watchers cookbook was? I've treated myself to the cooking for one book and the fresh and easy everyday one as ww are doing a half price sale on their cookbooks. I already have the the complete cookbook one but I wasn't that impressed with a...

Sorry *it

Hiya, I also have bipolar and know the feeling to do with the meds and putting on weight :/ I put on 2 stone in 6 months and just kept on gaining. Of course the way I was eating didn't help along with the moods and ups and downs. I can be done, I find it a lot easier when I'm on more of an even...

I'm the same sweet tooth! It's always ok me starting on the cake etc but I have so much trouble stopping! I've recently stopped buying chocolate bars so with a 5 year old in the house and being the festive period is going to be doubly hard!

My first proper ww wi again after trying dukan and epically failed and I've lost 3lb! I'm soooooo happy right now :D

I have 2 bulging discs and osteoarthritis and when mines bad (sciatica etc) I struggle to get out of bed let alone exercise so on those days I try and go for a very gentle and slow walk n when it's not so bad I do light weights, low impact aerobics, toning, the cross trainer and I've just...

Omg! The same happend to me! I had a slip up fri and It was nothing like I would do before dukan and I put on 2lbs overnight. But I haven't been able to get it off yet will wi tomorrow. It's soooo scary at just how quickly it goes back on and I'm so am at myself for bu**ering it up. It just...

Ooo butternut squash sounds nice. Do they taste like sweet potato?

Ooo I think I'll try that, I've never had celeriac before what does it taste like?

Will try this it sounds yummy :)

Thank for your replies :) it didn't mention them in my book either but it didn't mention it in the other phases either. I'm not keen on them but I thought they were the next best thing to not having potatoes!

Just like the subject really, I'm starting the cruise phase tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knew if parsnips were allowed on the protein and veg days? Thanks in advance :)

So glad I'm not the only one! If I'm not happy ill move mine around, take items of clothes off or keep getting on and off til I get the result I want! Lol

Just bumping this up :)

Thanks everyone for replying, there seems to be a lot of us on here! I initially gained my weight because of my pregnancy, I also had gestational diabetes that went undetected til late on in my pregnancy and due to having a lot of trauma I was comfort eating too which is something I had never...

Honk!

Hi welcome to ww, i do ww online and although i'm on my own i hope to meet someone and have another baby but like you i need to loose all my excess weight first. Good luck :)

Hi, I've completely lost my motivation for exercise, even for the things i like. It probably doesnt help that i'm havig a major rough patch atm, the thing is i know i need to exercise to loose the weight because of having pcos and other things it makes it harder for me to loose the weight...

They were probably jealous of you! x

Me too you can be 'normal' on it. Thank you and good luck to you too! We can do it! x

Definitely the bright side! x

Yup I joined Tuesday, I'm finding it really good so far and today's wi was not stressful at all and there's loads of stuff on the website and I use the app to track. x

Wohoooo I lost a 1lb :) I started on Tuesday online and wanted my wi to be on a Friday so I lost my lb in 3 days. Fingers crossed for next week ;) Well done everyone x

I found with SW that it never taught me about portion control, whereas with ww I find I'm doing my own portion control :) and I started Tuesday and as I wanted to wi on a Friday I only had 3 days until I wi today and I lost 1lb so I'm well happy!

Yay people like me! x

I binge too so know what it's like :( I'm trying to break the cycle but mine gets worse or better depending on how my bipolar is going, my general binge of choice is chocolate. I have been just taking it day by day even half day by half day and I'm limiting myself to buying one chocolate bar a...

Yea we CAN do it! I've got just under a year to loose my weight, I'm going on holiday at the end of August...it's getting closer!

I find it so frustrating going back and forth but I'm hoping this time will be my last time switching! I'm tracking better this time. That's a good idea, I might try a simply filling day one day :) Thanks for the reply and good luck with your journey too x

Bump :)

thats amazing well done! You look really good!

Hi, I've moved over here from the Slimming World forums :wavey:I was doing ww earlier on in the year and its the fourth time back on ww :eek: i went back to sw in the summer after ww stopped working for me and i needed a change but in the end being back on sw brought out my binge eating big...

Welcome and well done on your first week!

Thanks wiifitaddict for the support, it's much appreciated.

Well done you! I can't wait til I'm at target but I have a looooong way to go, my dr put my quetiapine up and he said in about a month my moods should even out, he said I'm going through a mixed manic/depressive episode it's been going on for months now :( at the beginning of the year everything...

P.s. It's also nice to hear that weight can be lost! :)

Being on the meds I find is hard, when I first started being on mood stabilisers I put on 2 stone in a couple of months :( and then obviously the way I was eating made it worse. Sometimes I wish I weren't on them but I know I wouldn't be very well without them (even though I'm not at the moment...

It's really nice to know I'm not the only one :) maybe we could use this thread to check in with eachother?

Yes happy holidays I have done a search but the thread was over a year old and I wanted to do an up to date thread and not just revive an old thread

Hi, I was just wondering if there were and fellow bipolar sufferers out there? This is hard for me to ask as there are not many people that know i am bipolar :o. I was wondering how people cope doing sw and loosing weight in general when going through a rough patch? Do you find it hard to...

I put on 3lb but that's due to my binging and other personal circumstances, when I'm up to it I'll get back on track.

I'm having a break from writing my food diary due to personal circumstances, hope to be able to write again soon x

Today's kinda food diary Hexa - 250mls lactofree s/s milk Hexb - none B - was the very very naughty krispy kreme chocolate iced doughnut! L - bag of seabrook beef crisps (not sure of syns, but will find out) D - roast pork, cabbage, y/pudd x2, roast potatoes, gravy Snack - dairy milk...

So as I said in my food diary yesterday was a complete write off! I had a kfc, krispy kreme doughnut, x3 terrys chocolate orange bars, x2 freddos and this morning I had the other doughnut! Although I soooo enjoyed I do feel rather guilty now though, but I'm gna draw a line under it and start...

Yesterday was a write off, I ended up having a kfc for dinner with a krispy kreme chocolate iced doughnut for 12.5syns and x3 terrys chocolate bars at about 10 syns each and x2 freddos! At 10 syns And this morning I had the other krispy kreme chocolate iced doughnut :/ 12.5syns! I just felt...

Todays food diary, today has been a good day today. Hexa - 250mls of lactofree s/s milk Hexb - x 2 slices of wholmeal bread B - marmite sandwich with pinapple for afters L - some smoked salmon with lemon juice D - chicken with seasoning, peppers, cucumber and potato wedges with seasoning...

Most definitely! :)

Ahh thank you, a while ago I used to be worse, but at the moment it feels bad :(

So these past few days i have been doing alot of soul searching and trying to address problems from the past that i thought i had dealt with or at least put in a box in my head and put it to the back of my head, but bit by bit these problems resurface a bite me on the butt and they affect me...

Yesterday was a baaaaad day, and to be honest i have been trying to put off writing this down. Hexa - 250ml lactofree s/s milk Hexb - x2 wholmeal bread B - marmite sandwich L - small salmon steak and chicken wrapped in lean bacon with bbq sauce D - chicken wrapped in lean bacon, mashed...

I definitely prefer summer and I like the different salad and fruit combinations but I also love winter roasts and we've just had our first dinner with mashed potatoes and it was so nice and filling Mmmmmm

I don't go to group but I'm a binge eater (trying to be an ex binger) and I'm struggling with only 15 syns so I have decided to up my syns by maybe 4 and then reduce them weekly when I'm ready by 1 until I get back to 15 syns basically without me knowing. I also have pcos and other problems that...

It varies tinkan from person to person, I've lost 11lb with ww but that stopped working for me and I went back to sw and have lost a 2lb but on both plans my weight has fluctuated but I want to add that I'm an emotional eater that sometimes binges and am on medication. So it really does vary...

I exercise at least 3 times a week and I do a tummy toner everyday and have been doing the tummy toning for nearly 3 weeks now and I have noticed a difference (I have an over hang and alot of loose skin especially on my lower tummy and pubic area) I would also say that with me exercise can help...

Aren't we allowed 105 syns? If we are...at least you'll get another 5 :) its good to see how someone else works out their week thanks for sharing :)

Todays diary Hexa - 250mls lactofree s/s milk Hexb - x2 slices of wholemeal bread B - marmite sandwich L - smoked salmon with lemon juice D - seasoned chicken, salad (onion, red cabbage, lettuce), a few chips Snacks - apples, strawberries, mango, small marsbar, x2 freddos Syns - 18 syns

Ive never though that! Ive just put in my diary that basically if i go over my syns for a while then i can cut them down gradually (so as i dont notice) until i get to 15syns im only talking 3-4 syns.

So Ive decided that if i go over by a few syns for a while but im trying my best its better than how i have been which is going over them by a mile, then as i get used to it then i can cut them down bit by bit basically so as i dont notice the syns going down! I know it will slow my weightloss...

Thanks, i wasnt sure whether i should put it on yesterdays or todays. I weighed in today and lost 2lbs...God knows how! Must have been the exercise.

I had a marmite sandwich using hexb bread

I wi at home this morning and lost 2lb :)

Last night i mindlessly ate a mars bar and i completely didnt think about what i was doing and by the time i did think about it i had devoured it :o 8syns. Main food diary to follow later.

So today i lost 2lb and i should be bouncing off the walls but ive woke up feeling down and irritable damn my emotions. Lastnight i mindlessly ate a small mars bar, i dont know why i just wish i had've stopped myself and said do you really want this but by the time i did in the end think about...

Lol, it does stop me scoffing it all down at once lol

I put all my chocolate in the freezer, it lasts so much longer.

I do sw from home but when i used to go to group i used to love the chocolate orange hifi bars they were yummy. I think I will give the bigger bars a go...after all its more chocolate :D

Thanks for your advice :) I've just started a diary and a food diary and I'm finding writing the diary helpfull so far and I'm hoping that the food diary will help me see where I'm going wrong and right...fingers crossed it works!

We can beat the binges together toddleo! I'm doing a diary of how I'm trying to deal with it all and I'm finding it quite good, maybe that might help you if you dont have one already or a food diary? I've also started a food diary to help me see where i'm going wrong or right so hopefully it...

Sorry rosierose (sp mistake) x

You are very right rosierosie! My snacks is where I let myself down, but it's so hard I've cut down alot to how I used to be, maybe I could try having just one bigger bar (within the 15 syns)

Today has been a good day so far, last night I ended up stress eating although I did recognise it and I didn't eat nowhere near as much as I have in the past. Here's what I ate: Mullerlight vanilla with dark chocolate sprinkles, smoked salmon (weird I know!), a couple of croutons and 2 extra...

Thanks bilsat :)

I had a marmite sandwich with 2 apples cut up.

So last night i had a bit of a breakthrough, late last night certain things started to worry me big time, these things had just popped into my head and i haven't thought about them for a long time anyway, now for the breakthrough bit...i recognised that i wanted to start eating because i was...

I want to loose weight for my son so that he has a healthy mummy, so that I have more energy for him and me and confidence, to look good and to be able to wear the clothes I want to wear and also to get fit.

I had the chicken 1% one and I might have put too much water to it but the noodles tasted like cardboard! Yuk

I wi first thing in the morning so all I do is make sure I have a couple of wees hehe

Hello and welcome back to the forum :)

This is my first go at a food diary on here and today has been my first good day in a while. So here it goes... hexa - 250ml glass of lactofree semi-skimmed hexb - x2 slices wholemeal bread b - marmite sandwich using my hexb l - a few thin slices of smoked salmon dressed with lemon juice...

Woop woop finally I can say I had a 100% day!

Thanks ladies for all your advice, I've had my first good day in a while today :D so am very pleased and I think I'll give writing a food diary a go it might be a bit shaky at first but once I get used to it I think it'll help, not only that it'll give me another excuse to come on here lol x

Thanks for the advice, just now to pluck up the courage to write it down and post :s

Hmmmm to food diary or not to food diary...that is the question. I am nervous about posting a food diary i think because maybe it will mean facing up to how bad things have been. One to definitely think about.

I was thinking of trying to start posting a food diary on here but im nervous about posting one maybe its because im scared about facing up to how bad things have been lately. Has posting a food diary helped anyone with emotional eating and binging to help get it under control? Or anyone thats...

Very happy today as i weighed myself and i stayed the same!! Im so pleased especially as its been a baaaaad week again and my hormones are up the creak. Today me and my son are having a roast pork dinner sw stylee yum:D

Im having a roast pork dinner sw style of course!

Just weighed myself after a very bad week again and hormones being up the creak (sp) and ive stayed the same! 13st13 Yay, im loving my scales today :flirt2:

I am, I tend to weigh myself anything from 2-4 times a week. However i did try not to wi between weigh ins and i did find that i was more positive because i didnt know what i weighed, but this only lasted a couple of weeks and i reverted back to being a serial weigher!

You can get second hand books from eBay but it's cheaper to join group to get the books. There's usually an offer on for joining. Hope this helps

So today has not been a good day again, I've just felt really depressed about everything and in turn this has affected my eating and my consumption of chocolate and for some strange reason chicken flavoured crisps! I even tried to do some crochetting which is something i've taken up in hope of...

What a great mantra, Ive written it down and taken a photo of it and put oit on my phone as my wallpaper :D

I'm having chicken with a maggie mixed herbs and plenty of veg.

Thank you:D

Sorry I shoul have been more specific they were recipes on the sw site.

I've been looking at some recipes and it says the syns for it but does that mean the whole thing or per portion? As it doesn't say... It's probably me being dumb

Hi, so this is my first attempt at trying to keep a diary and I'm going to try and write a couple of times a week and I'll try not to have a moan off too much! lol. Ever since a traumatic pregnancy, my like for chocolate turned into complete addiction and i comfort ate to the max and ended up...

One of my must haves are cold cooked lean ham, chicken, turkey and beef these are great for snacking on...after your superfree that is :)

Hi tiffanyh welcome this was my first wi as an online member and I lost this week (although I don't know how lol, it was a bad week) let us know how you get on in the week :)

Well Done everyone! :)

I'm an online member and for my first wi I didn't receive an email prompting me to weigh?

Hiya, I've had my first wi after leaving group and joining online and I lost (even after a bad week) and having one last binge is something I've done as well :s Sorry if I was rambling :s good luck on your journey :)

Ooo I like the sound of that hatwell, that way your still having one of your favourite foods. x

Anweng yea the sites good, the food diary is really good and the there's challenges that you can do for your body magic and you still get awards and the features section has some good advice also the recipes and syn calculator is really good and you get use of the app syn calculator. Hope this...

Hi I used to go to group which was on a wednesday evening wi but for my stress levels and sanity I've joined sw online and so my new wi is on a tuesday morning (first thing lol) at home and for my first wi I lost 1lb...i'm very happy! Onwards and downwards :D

I had sw spag bol, yum

I've just started crocheting, I've bought the new magazine series that is for beginners to learn how to ultimately make a crocheted blanket. I decided to start crocheting for a couple of reasons 1 being to try and make the blanket to eventually pass down to my son, 2 for it to hopefully help...

I'd love to have your positivity! Good luck, you'll get there! x

Thanks ladies and Becca wecca I'll try and do that and have a quick think now before bed :) x

Today has been soooooo bad, I had a binge, my first binge in a couple of weeks and I feel so bad and so guilty and angry at myself and to top it off I'd ve got my first wi at home in the morning. :mad:. Does anyone have any tips on how to get 'back on that wagon' I would be very grateful.

I used to go to group on a wednesday but now I have joined online because its better for my stress levels and I'll be weighing every tuesday morning at home :) So hi to all you tuesday at home weighers!

I really like that description! I think I'll use that for myself :)

Well done you! It's great to hear when people reach their goal weights...I just can't wait to get to mine;)

Were having a chinese spiced turkey steak and salad withat free dressing tonight, yum ;)

Hi and welcome, don't be disappointed that you maintained it might be your body adjusting try and stick to plan and you never know whats going to happen next week. You can do it :)

Good luck to you and welcome :)

Welcome and well done on your losses so far! As for the nandos I'm not sure on that one. Hopefully someone who knows will spot this thread and reply.

Honk!

I think its a good app and that you can be pretty broad with your searches and still get a good result. There could be more included on it though. But its good overall especially as its free :)

Thanks Pete :)

Sorry to hear you've been having problems it's great your getting back to it. You can do it!

It's nice to know there's someone else out there! From what I saw on the site today it's quite like the lifeline online you get when you join a group but I like the site and the fact you can still get your awards and the food diary is really good and I like the app because it's so easy to look...

Hi, I've just stopped going to group as to be honest i didn't get anything out of it, no one spoke to me, people were in their 'cliques' and the group spoke about the same things each week and didn't seem to have much structure so in the end i was just going there to be weighed and going to...

I crave chocolate in the evening and i use my syns for a chocolate bar but it also find the chocolate orange options really hits the spot! Yum

I finally joined sw online and have plucked up the courage to let my leader know, so i'm really pleased, i've decided to 'start again' from today and it WILL work especially as i haven't got going to group or getting weighed in front of everybody to get stressed about, obviously i still need to...

Ooo I like the sound of those and some I'll search for on you tube hehe, where did you get your book from?...I'm such a bookworm :) x

Just an update, I used the kettlebells again today but used the lowest weight and it was much better so maybe starting off slow and building it up is the best way :)

Hiya, I think I'll look into some support for my back for when I'm using the kettlebells. I was looking at a DVD from amazon I think it was called the kettlebell bootcamp and that looked quite good so maybe I'll get that and see what happens. But for now I think I'll use my lowest weight and...

I'm new to minimins and have found everyone to be really nice and always there to offer advice or even if they can't offer advice they still reply. With the group I go to luckily you get weighed first! So you don't have to sit through the talk part lol Thanks for your reply :) x

Thanks alot largerthanmost for your reply and advice, and I think I might try it online I'm a sinle mum too and I sometimes have to take my son with me which is boring for him. I think I would be ok motivating myself too, I like the idea of the awards but if you can do them online too that is a...

Hi, I'm completely new to kettlebells, to start me off I've bought the davina set from Argos today. I've looked on you tube for some ideas. I need to work my body all over but also I'd like to get my abs nice and toned as at the moment I do have some muscle but it's underneath alot of excess...

I like eating and trying new recipies but im not to keen on cooking them lol. I have a 5 year old who can be quite fussy with food, but he does love a roast with chicken, beef or pork and he loves a stir-fry with steak, noodles, peppers, onions and mushrooms and i'm using blue dragon sauces atm...

Hiya, you've totally hit the nail on the head for me! I am totally fed up with my mindless snacking but am not sure how to get it under control? Any thoughts?

I can't believe it for the second time in the space of about 2 weeks I have the stomach bug again :( gotta say it blinking awful :( and to top it off I can't sleep when all I want to do is shut my eyes.

That's great thank you for all your help :) I think I'm definitely gong to join online within the next few weeks :) x

I'm the same! I start stressing and worrying about my next wi straight after I've had a wi. But I find when I'm doing it online I stress but nowhere near as much as when I'm in a group cos its just me who sees it and to be honest I don't really enjoy group but. What package did you choose? And...

Wow, you are a true insperation to me, I have struggled with my weight since being pregnant with my now 5 nearly 6 yr old son and reading about you has helped me see that I can do it and can get back to a healthy weight and i can get back to living a healthy lifestyle, and whenever I think I...

Thank you for that :) its a shame they can't be bought without being in group or online membership.

Hiya, I'm currently a member of a group but have been thinking about doing sw online, so I was wondering when your an online member can you buy the sw recipe books, directory etc online on the sw site? Instead of only being able to get them from group? Any info would be great :) thanks in...

Hiya, welcome back to sw and well done you loosing 4lb! :)

I have pcos and i think mine is due to the weight i have put on, i have bad skin, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, excess weight around my middle, hardly any periods although im on hormones and after taking 3 packs and having a 7 day breaki finally got my first period in over a year :D it...

Hi, i have pcos and endometriosis as well as insulin resistance and this is my 3rd time back with sw and my weight has been up and down mainly due to stress and binging, but i know its not the plan its me! I find that when i can exercise the higher impact the better, i mainly do cardio such as...

Thank you :)

My mini goal is to get down to 13st9lb I weigh 13st13.5 at the moment. It's such a small goal because I've been hovering in the late 13s for months now and I haven't been 13st9 for nearly 2 years now.

Hehe I said that when I had my c-section, needless to say they said no! Lol x

I got mine last week from group and it's really good, I just wish it came out every month.

I found it yay! :) thank you, and I have subscribed to the Wednesday wi too (which is my wi day) thanks again x

Hiya everyone, I go to my weigh in on a wed at 5.30. Anyway just wanted to say hi ?

I have the same thing from a c-section and from putting on around 5 and a half stone when pregnant (i never went over 8st and was a size 6-8) I also have it to be crude, in my pubic area and find i can really see it when on the rare occasion i wear a pair of jeans. Im wondering the same thing...

Marshflower thank you for what you have said. It does make it so much harder and frustrating having PCOS and/or insulin resistance anyway let alone when your trying to loose weight. Ive tried ww twice, rc once and sw now 3 times so ive been around the block with the major diet plans lol. Not...

Thank you for your replies, help and encouragement I really appreciate it as you can probably tell I dont have any confidence in myself. Peacelily I will definitely look at the target threads thank you. x

Thank you for replying:) , your right sw does teach you to have good eating habits, I like the fact that theres so many choices and the freedom you get. I'm doing ee and the combinations of meals are endless, I'm just learning to expolore with food because I tend to eat the same foods.

As the other posters have said, definitely go to group because at least you will know the damage (if there is any) and then you can draw a line under it and start a fresh. Im the same, it only takes one thing and then it blows me off course but whereas before the whole week would go wrong now I...

Hi, I've recently started sw again for the 3rd time. You can do it :)

Hiya, As the title says I'm new to minimins and a I'm a SW restarter (3rd time :s) its taken me a while to get the courage up to post so, here it goes... I'm a mummy to a 5 year old little boy, I put all my weight on while I was pregnant and I then developed a severe fatty liver no doubt due...
