SLIMMING WORLD - the not so sparkly place <secret handshake>

[MamaG]

New thread as old kept crashing mine and tits' PCs!

im starting on Thursday, was semi-successfull with it a few years ago.

Ive a lot of weight to lose so hopefully if i need to eat a pasty or cake i can come here and you can slap me silly.

Don't expect any slaps from Tits! Have you burnt your hand before Tits or am I getting you confused with someone else?

Umm not recently i do burn it a fair bit though becuase my stupid wrist decides to give out at the most inapropriate times.....

Oh not you then, I'm sure someone on our SW thread or on the sparkly place had burned their hand. Hope your op goes well. It is quiet on this thread atm isn't it?

well... i'm back and probably a few pounds heavier

oh well, back on plan today so hopefully won't havedone too much damage and will get losing again!

i'm off to catch up with the other posts since i've been away...

I've been back on plan for 2 whole days now! Not going near the scales until WI on Monday though. I always tend to give in after a few days, hopefully I will do it. I have to!

thanks for the password

well after my 9lbs holiday gain, I have miraculously lost 4lbs over night, so I think it must have been fluid retention or something... I knew I had eaten a lot, but I was suprised it was 9lbs gain, as when I went to Florida and definitely did overeat, I only put 5lbs on!

gah, sick child put paid to plans of perfect week on day one!

I had intended to be really good this week and not have any syns until the weekend but a stressful afternoon where the kids squabbled for HOURS and ended up being sent to their rooms had me reaching for the wine when they went to bed!

Still within my syns allowance for the day though and so far this week I've run another 5k route and done an early morning swim, planning on doing another 2 5k routes later on Thursday and Saturday so I hope that helps too.

It makes me tired just reading abuot your 5k route. I hate walking and couldn't run even if I tried!

Day 3 and I have had my breakfast and lunch is made. Just need to figure out what to do for dinner tonight (having a red day) and then I should be fine with sticking to it. Dinnertime is when it usually goes wrong for me.

Well done on your 4lb loss fuzzypeach, thats a great boost to loosing your holiday gain.

Morning all

Another 2lbs off for me last night at weigh in.
I can't run i can't find a sports bra man enough for the job yet, i am going to purchase a skipping rope though, i love skipping and i figure i can do it in my flat or in the garden without causing to much embarrasment to myself.

Im sure my Op will be ok, its only fay surgery to do a carpal Tunnel release and some correntive work from where i mashed my arm and hand 12 years ago!

My poor sister has gone to the hospital tohis morning, she found out she pregnant a few days ago and she has woken up with a HUGE abcess (sp?) in my mouth/cheek shes crying and she can't talk her face looks deforemd, she has gone to the hospital to see if they can do anything about it, poor Chicken.

One poor lady had a breakdown in out SW group last night, she usualy weighs and leaves but she stayed and our consultant eho has been away for ages forgot that she didn't like her wieght loss read out and she read it out in the group along with eveyone elses and this poor lady hyperventalated and started crying and shaking, i felt really sorry for her.

I am going to have the perfect week SW wise i am determined to get a loss of some kind next week, and i am gong to excersise!

I usually allow my self 15 syns but im going to cut it down to 5-10 the consultant said thats fine.

Remind me not to buy these scan bran things again!

I bought them as I was curious as they're mentioned everywhere and decided that as I was having porridge today to crumble it in... big mistake trying to swallow it but it's gross!

Sorry, am loling @ fay surgery, do the surgeons wear pink? Your sister's abcess sounds awful, hope she's ok.

AM - I've never tried scan bran, I think they look like freeze dried poo, can't bring myself to eat one

My ankle is twinging a bit today so not sure if I'll be able to run tomorrow, might rest it and go on the exercise bike instead.

Sorry for all the typos we have a new keyboard and im not used to it yet, plus my brain works faster than my fingers type. :D

top tip with scan bran is pour a little boiling water on them before you eat them to soften them otherwise it rips the skin off the inside of your mouth

i can tolerate them like and that with a blob of apricot jam on they are quite nice.

I am here MamaG and have no idea what I am meant to do.

Hello! I'm really pleased you have come onto the thread

EVERYBODY HAS TO BE NICE TO TTM

Right, got that sorted

I have to go feed BabyG now as I can hear him stirring on the monitor, but hopefully somebody will give you the basics. If they don't I will be back online later and will do so.
have a look around this forum if you get chance

Had to tell you about the lovely dessert I just had, Total 0% fat mixed with sweetener, vanilla extract and cinnamon with chopped banana on top. V yummy.

Am slightly confuddled TTM - have you started SW?

Right TTM, it would take me about 3 days to type out all the SW info, best thing is if you can try to get hold of a book. Do you have any RL mates who have done SW in the past who might lend you their book? Otherwise, have you got a spare £10 to go along to a SW meeting - you only n eed to go to the first meeting and they'll give you the book

Its basically :-

red days - unlimited lean meat, fish, veg, fruit, eggs, fat free yoghurts etc with limited amoutns of pots, pasta, cheese, milk, bread etc

green days - unlimited potatoes, rice, pasta, fruit, veg, eggs, fat free yogs, with LIMITed amoutns of meat & fish, cheese, milk,bread

Do you think you could get a book?

ProYaffle = TTM is feeling a bit fed up about weight, so I suggested she come on here and start doing SW and we will all support her

I got through day 3 without cheating or falling off the wagon. I am hungry now though as I really didn't like my dinner and couldn't eat it. That will teach me to try and make a quick and simple dinner. (couscous, chicken, mushrooms, sweetcorn, salt and pepper - I won't be having that again!)

I have meal-planned

sadly today didn't go to plan.

Hi TTM

Good Morning all.

I am doing ok, i had a good day yesterday, im having a red day today so i am going to take a visit to my friendly Butcher who gives me a lovely 20% discount of everything becuase im a good customer.

Im thinking of seeting myself a mini goal but im in two minds, part of me thinks that it would be a great motivational thing and if i sucseeded i would fee awesome but the other part thinks that if i didn't sucseed for whatever reason i would feel shit and probably go on some sort of Chocolate bender? What do you guys think? Im 10st 13.5lbs now so i was thinking a mini goal of 5lbs off by this time next month?

I don't have a target yet, i have my club 10 wich is 10st 2lbs.

Anyway im am deterimed not to sit on my ample behid today so as soon as DS's antibiotic pump has finished i am going to go to the Butcher and i need to pick up some more meds for my ever growing pharmacy in my Kitchen.

I went to visit DS's new primary school he will be starting in September, its really lovely and the teacher seems so kind. Im not sure what he is thinking being 5 im sure he was only born a few weeks ago?

HI i'm new to SW but not to mumsnet. I went for my first meeting on Monday and am aiming to initially lose 2 stones. I think i should have started it next week though as i have eaten out twice already and blown it! I am trying ot be good today. I didn't get the password at the meeting so does anyone know the password you have to enter to go online at SW? Also does anyone know how many sims dumplings are as i have made a beef casserole (red day) with load of veg but am trying to figure out whether to have dumplings or mash for tea.

I would have mash without butter but use either 1 oz cheese (HE1) or splash of milk from your allowence to mash it with.

Don't know how many dumplings are but they are probably quite alot.
