3andnomore · 27/08/2008 07:25

melbob, welcome
you had very good losses the first 2 weeks, which might explain that small gain
Well....like you I am dreading todays weigh-in....gulp....and better get ready in a moment

Pinkjenny · 27/08/2008 11:08

OK I'm joining. I went back to class last night and was HORRIFIED by what I saw on the scales. I am only 4lb lighter than I was 6 weeks after dd was born.

Weight is creeping up. And I'm just so bored of talking about it and thinking about it, so I'm doing it this time.

I am!!!

Pinkjenny · 27/08/2008 11:43

Does anyone have the password for this week???

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 11:51

password is rugby
and welcome pink....you see when I started sw this time I actually weighed more then I did at the end of all 3 pg's....now that is ,lol

well, I put 2 1/2 Ibs on, over the past 2 weeks....could have been worse and am doing fabulous first week to get back on track!

So, what are people's intermittend goals...mine is that by christmas I want to be down to 10 st....

Pinkjenny · 27/08/2008 11:54

3andnomore - that's my goal too!!!!

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 12:03

For me that means I have to lose 1st3 Ibs...and once I have reached that I want to lose the final stone (to ultimate goal) by the summer

Pinkjenny · 27/08/2008 12:04

And I have to lose 2 st 4!!! Ambitious, non??

pgwithnumber3 · 27/08/2008 12:05

I tried to start DH on SW yesterday, he lasted until 6pm last night! - MEN!

Does anyone know what you have to add on as HE when you are pregnant. I want to keep my weight gain down but don't need to lose weight IYKWIM.

notsoteenagemum · 27/08/2008 12:11

Can I join please I need support, starting back at SW after 8 months off put all weight back on and more V. unhappy. Stopped coz I felt like I was eating JP and beans 24/7! Please help.

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 12:18

pink it can be done...we had members in my group who lost that much in 12 weeks made me feel ....but good for them

pgwn3, no idea really about teh pregnancy guidelines....are you a memnber of a local group...they would possibly be the best to asked. But will have a look in my book in a mo....

notso, it is upsetting when you put all the way back on, isn't it...but you can do it again
I find trying out new recipes really helps...I bought lots of the little SW cookbooks and always get the magazines, gives plenty ideas My favourite Book is the 100 saucy secret book....there are some lovely curries in there...and plenty of other great recipes

notsoteenagemum · 27/08/2008 12:24

I have that but have never used it thanks 3andnomore, do they taste nice and can you pass them off as "proper food" to DH for example??

Pinkjenny · 27/08/2008 12:32

What isreally funny is the first time I went I was 20, and 10 st 8, 11 years ago. I thought I was massive and went down to 9 stone.

Oh, to be 10 st 8 now!! Are there lots of nice recipe ideas on this thread?

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 12:42

I have done 4 of the curries...the pineapple jalfrezi, the dopiata (???), the balti and the Aubergine Bhaji (without Aubergine, rofl...). I tend to put a bit of sweetener in when seasoning it...because, I find that just brings out the flavours better (probably because the sauces all contain Tomatoes)....I tend to cook them with meat and extra vegetables in...so, make them a one pot dish and a whole meal, iykwim....
obviously you could add vegetables and possibly quorn to make them green meals
My dh loves teh currys and doesn't feel he is deprived...they taste like take aways

There is also a BBQ sauce recipe, which is free on original and green...and taste gorgeous...so, if you plan a BBQ it would be worth doing the sauce....

Pnk, so know what you mean

notsoteenagemum · 27/08/2008 13:03

That is encouraging thanks, was hesitant after a disaster with the ryvita/scan bran cake (shudder!) I'm with you there PJ went to WW at 16 lost half stone in first week reaching target them were the days!!

Pinkjenny · 27/08/2008 13:17

I've never understood scan bran.

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 13:20

where do you get scan bran...read it in the book...but no idea what it is really and where it would be found in supermarket...lol

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 13:46

Hm...I have been keeping track of my weightloss on the SW website....but for whatever reason it seems to stop on the week commencing 18th of August....does it only let you fill it in for 15 weeks and then you have to start over again?

babyjjbaby · 27/08/2008 17:15

does any 1 know how many syns is in the snack a jacks chocltae flavored jumbos just had 5 of them

pgwithnumber3 · 27/08/2008 19:26

Thank you 3andnomore (I may have to buy that username from you once DC3 arrives

I don't attend a group, I am not "overweight" as such (sorry, not meant to sound like a brag) but I followed SW for years after gaining weight after I got married and I loved it. Since having the children, when I am pregnant, I obviously like to enjoy more luxurious foods and I would like to watch my weight a bit more this time as I am sure the third pregnancy will hit my body the hardest. Especially as DD2 is only 11 months old. Two pregnancies in a year will probably do untold damage.

3andnomore · 27/08/2008 21:03

so, you always did it on your own than...becaause otherwise you could go for free weigh-ins once at target and than , if you have been at target you probably would still be able to weigh in free and get the tips...
however, I will have a look in/on the book/website.....and see what it says about pg and sw
Didn't get round to it so far, sorry...and will probably be tomorrow now , sorry!
And lol at buying my username....you never know, you might want another after....for me it's a definite nono now, on every level...and well...dh has just had a vasectomie...so, well...would be to late if I had changed my mind, lol...(which I haven't....3 is all I can cope with, lol)

Nemoandthefishes · 27/08/2008 21:14
