Sorry off topic

Hubby's Birthday pressie just arrived so thats him completely enthralled with his Ipad so I get the remote for the rest of the day :rotfl: down side is I will have to get meals ready, upside they'll all be sw friendly . It's his hawaian Birthday in July but wasn't sure I'd have the money for one by then so bought it now and had it engraved too. Got a cheapy cover from Amazon so thats him sorted. Will just have to get him a card come the day.

Oh well off to sort lunch, have a good day all :A

Nicely put ShellieHolly, I very much agree with something that has been vilified by the press and that is 'nothing tastes as good as being thin feels'. And I really hate how badly the media have portrayed that saying, it encourages anorexia etc.

I actualy hate this saying...dunno why,nothing to do with association with anorexia or anything,it just irritates me,I first heard it a Weightwatchers meeting years ago,I also hate the saying "Keep your eyes peeled",makes me think of eyes like layers of onions..irrational I know.lol
Anyway,back on topic,tonight i will find out if ive done enough damage limitation to get away with a "stay the same"...heres hoping,good luck everyone.

Very nice pressie,
actually just looking at them myself, trying to justify the outlay though.
Got a 17inch laptop and got an acer aspire one for christmas but really really want an ipad.
Going to florida in 5 weeks so keep telling myself I really really :rotfl: need one if only for the flight to read on, play solitaire etc
Just tell me I should get one and be done with it

Hi all,

Well my plan was to join Slimming World last night as the session is on Monday, thought I'd give the number a call first to check it was running and they said they couldn't guarantee it was on because of the bank hol. doh!

So a week to go before I can "start" SW...

I've borrowed a recipe book which has "green" and "red" recipes from a friend, I think they've had it a few years though but figure I can try following a couple of them this week. I am "mostly veggie" (besides the occasional bit of chicken) so I think I'll be following the "green" or the new extra easy stuff but don't know much about that yet.

Going to weigh myself tonight when I get home and then see how it goes this week.

Biggest dilemma is what to have for breakfast...I'm used to having 2 crumpets with peanut butter on :-s

Is bread allowed on SW? Eggs and toast sounds good (no mushrooms please!!)

Any ideas/help much appreciated!!

Good morning

Today I hopped on the scales and I've lose 2lbs, maybe a little bit more. I came on my period today so I think that may be the reason... definitely not eating takeaway twice and eating out once. Someone said I may be a week behind with my weight loss but I can't see how that can be. Anyway, WI on Thursday night, planning on having a brilliant couple of days with lots of super free foods. Now I'm off out for a brisk walk.

That someone is quite right, it can take up to two weeks for certain foods to digest and body changes to show. I think thats why my * week shows 1 week after on the scales if that makes sense.

I try to keep that in mind if I have a fab WI this week but not really stuck to plan ...next week might be the one to show it.

Hello, welcome! If you really want to join this week go to another group to register. DONT FORGET THE FREE COUPON IN REVEAL MAGAZINE!!! - free membership, just pay the weekly. Then go to the local one next week. It depends on how really keen you are to get stuck in!
Bread is allowed, but only so much. I follow Extra Easy and I am only allowed 1 slice of 400g wholemealNot sure about the Red/Green Days though.

hiya invisibleyousee,
yes bread is allowed, as a healthy extra b, you can have 2 slices of hovis wholemeal love (400 grm loaf) or I sometimes have a wholemeal asda pita bread as my HE if doing extra easy you can have one a (milk or cheese) and one b (fibre) on the green or red day you can have two of each good luck!!

Thank you - didn't realise there was a free voucher, and that's a good idea - didn't think about about going to a different group this week!!

Thank you for the tip, will call in and buy Reveal this week - saves some £££'s too :-)

just had a look at this post:

Looks as though the voucher is valid til the 17th so I will be able to go to my "local" session next Monday and start it officially then! Will go buy magazine this evening just in case though I think. Thank you again.

We kept a seat warm for you Macpep1, welcome back.
I hope all that personal stuff is behind you now. I both lost and gained through "personal" stuff.
invisibleyousee, glad I could help.
