    New with lots to lose!!!

    Hiya :) I started yesterday (Saturday) I'm doing ss. How're you doing today? Things are ok here, but I'm feeling the cold. I've got a lot to lose, not putting a figure as such, as don't want to put too much pressure on myself, but in reality I should lose at least 6 stone.

    Has anyone got joint hypermobility or fibromyalgia

    Thanks for the reply :) It's good to hear it's helping with you. When I did cwp before, i hadn't been diagnosed with hypermobility, so I think I was expecting too much.

    Has anyone got joint hypermobility or fibromyalgia

    Yeah, there's a lot of discussion about fibro, c.f & M.E. I had my bloods taken when I was diagnosed & I was found to be very low in vitamin D. Either way, I'm knackered, even now my vitamin levels are up. How are you finding c.w.p? Is it effecting your hypermobility at all?

    Very Disappointed.

    Glad you like it hazy :) I mix the marmite into the mushrooms and onions while they are still warm so it coats everything quite well, otherwise you could melt the marmite a bit in the microwave maybe? I have mine with sw chips and salad mainly, i've had it with cous cous too. You could always...

    What odd cravings! I'm not sure whether i've had any cravings (which probably means i haven't!) I've fancied things and gone off practically everything. I do have marmite all the time, so maybe that's my craving? My mouth does water when i think of it mmmm marmite :) I've had a hankering for...

    Just wondering if any of you girls dye your hair? I have done for about 17 years! Not sure if i'm allowed during pregnancy? Have any of you found you have developed grey hairs?!!! I suddenly have loads! Is this normal? I'm putting it down to stress, please let me dye my hair :giggle:

    Good luck rach, sending good vibes :) bunny- i hope your appointment goes well. I saw the shrink on Friday and they weighed up the pros and cons for meds and decided it was safer for me to go back on prozac at a low dose...fingers crossed they will kick in soon! Eta- ooooh i'm a lemon!

    Thanks squiggy! I'm bother nervous & excited! I'm just not good at going out at the moment (anxiety) but apart from that i am excited!! The last few weeks seems to have gone quickly but before, time was going so slowly :giggle: How are you doing? Did you go to the doctors?

    Thank you! I've been reading in other places that you need to drink a liter of water, a pint of water, no water! When i'm nervous i always have to drink cold water, also i popped over to the hospital last week to see where i have to go (i'm pathetic like that!) and it was really hot! I hope it...

    Thanks lexie & bunny! Maybe it is bloat & bread that's filled my tummy! :giggle: I think when i actually look pregnant and not just that i've eaten too many pies, it might be a bit easier to deal with :D Once i feel better i will start back with the sw plan but at the moment being in the kitchen...

    That's a really good idea emsie! My loaf tin is scratched to ******* after trying to clean it! I was thinking of getting a silicone loaf tin, but this might be better.

    I was never keen on lentils really, i've only made this with green and found it really tasty. Not sure if anyone has made it with both red & green lentils. Maybe silly sausage can do a scientific experiment for you and make one of each and do a taste test :giggle:

    I think that's quite normal in early pregnancy, i got it, i think it's your uterus stretching and your body just adjusting to changes. If you are too worried, maybe ring your midwife or nhs direct?

    Yeah tried ginger tea, didn't seem to work..i just feel like i have a hangover without the fun hehe I'm trying to eat little of often- that seems to work, crackers and marmite are good too :D I might actually try ginger nuts! Not great for sw but hey if it makes me feel better :)

    Mmmm sounds good :D If yours is mega syns, mine is gigantanourmous syns! Tastes damn good though & you get about 8-10 slices i'd say- too rich otherwise. I'm REALLY hoping it goes soon :jelous: - i am literally stuck to the sofa! Fingers crossed i can get back on plan soon..i miss it :D
