Stay at home mums

Aww don't worry hun, like you said just draw a line under it, don't let it get you down too much. Its so hard to stay on plan when you're away, I hope you enjoyed yourself though hun.

I really need to try some new recipies too, I'm getting so bored of my usual meals now, let me know if you find any good ones. xxx

Hey :wavey:

Thanks for letting me join. Do I need to give you any info??

I have done slimming world off and on for 2yrs... more off than on though :rolleyes: I need to blast a little weight off before my holiday in 5wks... so hoping for 2lb a week, so that will be 10lb loss before my hols. If it doesn't happen, then oh well.... :D xx
 
Hey Sarah!!
Mexico hey!!! very nice, not that I have been myself but friends of mine went there for their honeymoon and had an amazing time, I am sure u can lose 2lb a week its a reasonable target to aim for, (says me who cant stick to it over 1 weekend!) I find if you plan your meals and snacks throughout the day it is easier, I am fine during the week when I am in routine, but come the weekend even if I dont have any social plans I start thinking of take aways and a chocolate bar while I watch Casualty, I am terrible.

This weekend I am out on Saturday night with my cousin and her parents and I was really good in asking where we was going to eat, and my cousin said i am not to sure well I jumped in with...Oooh lets go to Harvester! for those who dont know Harvester they have an unlimited salad/pasta bar, and they have all their meats and chicken cooked on a flame grill, and u have a choice of chips, rice, jacket potato or mashed potato. So its Extra Easy heaven in there, I usually ask for either a flame grilled steak or Chicken breast, with Jacket potato no butter and just load on the salad and I take a sneaky bottle of my own fat free salad dressing with me! So thats Saturday night sorted, then Sunday is a mixed up day really, nothing is planned for eating wise yet as we are spending most of the afternoon at my FIL as its his birthday but then my Husband goes away to Cornwall on business about 5pm so we dont really have any plans for meals that day.

I am going to look into some recipes today I have The Philadelphia Cook Book and there are loads of recipes that you can alter to make it SW. I shall let you know if I find any tasty ones.


Bye for now!

:wavey: Hiya!

My friends came back from there, told us how nice it was so we booked up. I cannot wait. Although I won't be wearing a bikini at all! Bleugh! :D
When on it 100% I do plan my meals, so I haven't got a problem with that, I also shop online so don't have all the naughty treats in my face! I have also just bought Zumba on the X-Box Kinect as my daughter is on school hols, I am unable to get to the gym during the week as her dad works away. So I did 40 mins on the Kinect yesterday and planning 1hr today... I really enjoyed myself yesterday and boy! did I sweat! Lol!

Well done on planning your saturday night for the Harvester... that's fab! :clap: it's excellent when your good about things. If you're that good, you could squeeze in a nice glass of wine within your syn values too!

Have a great evening all :cool: xxx

Welcome back hun!! How are you getting on?

Sarahandmolly, wow mexico I'm so jealous, I've always wanted to go to mexico, I bet you'll easily lose 10lbs before you go if you stick your mind to it! xx

I lost 3lbs this week, think the superspeed soup I made on sunday helped loads!

Hows everyones week going? Hope you're all doing ok xxx
 
Hi all!!!
How is everyone doing, I haven't been here for a while, I have been really bad with my diabetes so very sorry for not keeping in touch, feeling better but not 100% yet, but getting there.
I had started to do so many recipes to but then just totally went off plan with my eating, not over indulging or anything like that quite the opposite, just eating as and when I felt like it and to be honest it wasn't that often.

well this good weather has got me feeling in a healthy mood, I was in the garden this afternoon sunbathing and having loads of plain fresh fruit for my lunch it was well nice, I also bought a cross trainer over the weekend,............jeez i am soooo unfit, I got on it today its really hard going, no word of a lie I was on it for 1 min 23 seconds and my legs were killing me.....then i noticed my son had whacked it up to traction control 8...the highest setting ha ha ha, so lowered it down to the first setting, obviously easier but christ its still hard going. also been doing lots on the Wii Fit plus, so much better than the original Wii fit and its lots of fun so you don't actually realise you're doing the excersize unlike my cross trainer Grrrrrr!!!!

Hope you are all doing well, be in touch soon

Hello! Can i join please? I'm a stay at home mammy (for the time being anyway) on maternity leave still :) i've got Cai who has just turned 3 and starts nursery school in September EEEEK! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and Nia who is 21 weeks today :D

I'm breastfeeding Nia still, almost exclusively, she is having the odd taste of mush on days were she "asks" for it, dont ask me to describe what she does lol but she is still feeding from me as much if not more than before cos obviously she wants a drink rather than a feed after the mush and she WILL NOT take a bottle of anything, my milk, formula, water, juice.

I'm a qualified nanny so hoping to go back to being self employed come the end of Novemeber, i specialise in out of hours nannying and babysitting, evenings, weekends, overnights, weddings, parties, holidays, hotels etc.

i've been at SW since end of May and lost 2 stone between having Nia mid March and then, and have lost 1 stone 6.5lbs since joining SW on EE plan. Still a LONG way off goal but i am really pleased with progress so far :)
 
Hi everyone...may I join you?

I am a stay at home to 3 monkeys:
Zoe 4 1/2 yrs
Noah nearly 3
Zara 13 weeks

I am exclusively breastfeeding Zara and as the case with my other two kids, the weight is NOT disappearing :cry: So time to be proactive and quit moaning!

I need to stay on track as it's so easy to get sidetracked when feeding the kids all day long! I have my first weigh in on Friday so fingers crossed I stay focused this week!
 
its very quiet in here...
 
Hello ladies and babies,

I've an 8 month old little girl, doing baby led weaning so meals have to suit her needs as well as be SW friendly. So far so good. If anything I'm eatting healthier than before (well, when i'm on plan!).

She's breastfed, still feeds every 3-4 hours.. weight didn't drop off by breastfeeding alone, so started slimming world about a month ago.. before that I tried dukan and atkins...which really didn't suit me and made me feel quite ill.
I weigh what I weighed before falling pregnant..however as I was overweight to begin with, I'm still on this journey. I don't mind the scenic route as it's much more enjoyable..
I started going to a group but really need to save every peny so unfortunately I stopped going.
My main motivation is that I want my battle with weight to be over and done with and be at peace with myself.. I don't want to give my daughter my body weight issues and I don't want it to hold me back anymore..
I'd like to be a size 12 this christmas (currently 14) and to be a healthy 10 by spring..
I'm also going to be a bride sometime next year (not set the date yet!).

Oh dear, sorry to ramble on and on and on..
 
hi ladies, i'm so sorry i've been absent for a few weeks. Had my lovely holiday and the laptop is painfully slow so managed to get on on my phone. Welcome to all the newbies hope you can find support on here. How is everyone doing? I've struggled to get back on track since my holiday, i gained 1.5lbs after my hol but lost 1lb tonight so almost back to pre holiday weight. Hope you're all getting on ok. I'll post my soup recipie on here tomorrow if i can get the laptop to speed up. Love to all xx

Am I the only one on here? Hope not!

I thought it would be a nice idea to share our SW experiences and challenges we face being at home a lot and trying to feed our LOs SW food. We can keep each other motivated and share tips.

I know I find it tough to stay away from the kitchen and reaching for the bad stuff at times of boredom when my daughter naps or times of stress when shes being a monkey and winding me up. Anyone have the same problems? She is also a fussy eater at the moment and doesn't really eat any of my SW cooking, I'll keep trying but its a tough one!

A little about me....I'm almost 28, been on SW since July last year and including a short spell at WW just before joining SW I've lost 4 stone 2lbs so far, still got over 4 stone to go to target so about half way there, not set a final target yet, I'll know when I get there.

My daughter Skye is almost 20 months and is becomming a right little character, and very independent she's so cheeky at the monent too.

I'm in the process of setting up my own business so I will not be a stay at home mum for much longer, I'll be a part time stay at home mum instead lol.

I want to be a mummy my daughter deserves and be able to run around after her without needing a rest after 5 minutes.

Please tell me I'm not alone..........

Hi! Can I join you please?

I'm Jenny, 32, have been a SAHM since I had my 1st 6 years ago. Kian is 6, Conor 4 and Katie 15 months.

I joined SW on 16th June and have 1lb to go till I get my 2 stone award but want to lose at least another 3 stone.

Being at home is hard, especially with the kids goodies in the kitchen lol
 
Hi Jenny! Course you can join, everyone is welcome :D

Well done on your loss so far, 2 stone in 3 months is fab! Good luck on the rest of your journey, keep us posted on how you're going and we can keep each other motivated (and away from the kids treats hehe)

How is everyone else doing? Its ever so quiet here! Hope you are all getting on ok. xx
