ohhhh i have heard of these is there a lemon meringue one? xxx

The lemon meringue one is awful! The meringue balls just taste like the aftertaste of artificial sweetener. They were only 94p in Asda for a pack of four so I didn't feel too bad about throwing the rest in the bin!

Well it's been a tough few days here trying not to binge on crap. Haven't felt like this for a while but just couldn't shake the urge off. I miraculously didn't binge and lost 2.5lbs this week and got slimmer of the week. So 1stone 11lbs in ten weeks

Booked our holiday for the 14th of June so just under 12 weeks to go and hoping to loose another 1.7 stone by then.

Made SW pizza from the fakeaway book and it was good!

Lemon meringue, strawberry and toffee.

I really liked the meringue ones lol

 

[lola_90]

Typical Katerz!

Think my urge yo binge was pmt as I've been a grumpy moo the last couple of days according to my OH! AF has arrived and the urge to eat crap has gone.

 

[AngelUK]

I have that urge too and have AF too this week. It has been a real struggle to keep my greedy fingers off the chocolate. And I did but having AF also meant I have put on weight again anyway. I am going to drink lots of nettle tea till Monday to get rid of the AF water retention! I am SOO close to my 2 1/2 stone I can taste it LOL

 

[AngelUK]

I need a moan.
I weighed myself this morning and I will be lucky if I only have 1 1/2lbs back on today at my weigh in! I really don't know where i am going wrong! I stick to it so religiously and never come off the wagon! I had AF this week yes but I drank nettle tea and water till I ran to the loo every 30 minutes! And besides, should the water not go after the first few days?! Frustrated

 

[lola_90]

Oh Angel it sucks don't be disheartened maybe speak to your leader about it xx

 

[AngelUK]

thanks hon but I have talked to her so many times about it and she doesn't understand it either. She has jokingly said she will cut my syns but if I have to do that then I won't be happy at all. Syns are what makes any diet bearable, even this one And anyway I only usually have around 12, though maybe I had 14 this week cause I was ravenous. Maybe that was it. But that would be a bummer too cause how will I ever NOT be on this diet if 2 extra syns a day make me put on weight?!
Depressing.

 

[Indi84]

I'm on sw so I'll join this thread I'd that's ok
I gained 1.5 last week just by going over syns on one day, and being totally on plan the rest, I was gutted but my leader said it could be to do with bring early pregnant.
Then this weekend I went off the plot, because I was so upset about last week, where is the logic in that?
Anyway back on track this morning, but it's tough with morning sickness, I just want to eat toast!

 

[AngelUK]

Put on 1 1/2lbs Bleh!

Welcome Indi and I totally understand that frustration! Congrats on your pregnancy, hope the sickness abates soon. Have you tried ginger tea? It helped me a little but another friend swore by peppermint tea. Both worth a try.

 

[lola_90]

Angel how frustrating!

 

[Katerz]

Well finding out yesterday my company is going bust is really testing my willpower...

 

[AngelUK]

oh no Kate that is awful! Will you be ok?

 

[topsy]

Sorrry angel hun how annoying.

kate too that sounds stressful.

i have gone wayyy of track xxx

 

[Katerz]

Well we are ok for a few months which i guess is positive given the circumstances. I work for a car insurance company in the claims department, the company are no longer selling new insurance policies which is where the problem lies, but we should still have claims coming in for potentially another year so we aren't losing our jobs immediately. I'm not jumping sticks and leaving just yet as the board of directors still want us to deal with the work in house. I guess it will be small steps.

Anyway...Top of my target bubble now so I need to be good to get back down. I am not weighing nxt week as it's lilys 2nd birthday on weigh day (eeeeek!) so I have 2 weeks to be really good.

Tried out s spin class yesterday....today my butt HURTS!!

Hi ladies can I join? I'm thinking of doing slimming world too.
I have never been more than 9 1/2 stone my entire life apart from when I was pregnant. I now weigh 11 stone 5, heavier than I was 9 months pregnant with DS1! :'(

According to BMI, I'm only a couple of pounds overweight. Could I still join slimming world? I tried at the beginning of this week and I started off well but I was getting confused about what I could and couldn't have, then AF came early and DH came home with a tub of Ben and Jerrys the same night...I caved in

I look about 4 months pregnant and have had numerous people ask me if I am. I retain water too AngelUK and not sure how to get rid of that.

Can I ask how much people are overweight by? I don't want to look stupid going in there with only a stone or so to lose.

I should mention the reason I am overweight is the preventative migraine medication I'm on. The doctor warned me about it before I went on it and I have ballooned 2 stone in a year. Can I actually lose weight if I'm on a drug like this? Will the slimming world consultant know about this?

Sorry for my ramblings but thanks in advance

Hi Hun,

Think you can join SW as long as you are 7lbs away from your target weight hun. if you go to a meeting hun a leader will be able to help you out or one of the other lovely girls on this thread might know more hun.

You have to fill out a form when you start so you can tell your SW consultant about your medication. I know about putting on weight due to med i have put on 7 stone in 2 years due to anti psychotic meds and i have just changed meds in Nov and my psychiatrist said i could gain around 2 stone!!! BUt i have lost 2 stone since the middle of Nov so it is possible to losse on medication hun

[topsy]

Oh I lost 1/2 lb this week even with going on holiday so am pleased with that!

xxx

 

[Katerz]

Yep as topsy said you can join if you've at least 7lb to lose. My friend is in the process of becoming a consultant so we are getting clued up lol! If your consultant doesn't know the answer re medication they can always get in touch with head office.

I was overweight by 2.5 stone now a happy target member.

 

[nicki01]

I've lost 1st 10lb to get to target.
I'm now heading towards the top of my target so need to be good these next 2 weeks! I say that eating a packet of prawn cocktail crisps!! :-0
