    Hiyas to be totally honest if your a shift worker they shouldnt have sold you the countdown in the first place as they can only extend countdown dates for holidays etc as its from and to a set date even sicknesses are not taking into account, I do the weighing in our group and anyone buying a countdown is given this advice so I would definetely ask the new consultant and it doesnt matter where and whos group you purchased the countdown in as long as youve got that card you can go to anyones group until the countdown is used up so if you are shiftworkers id try n swap and change between groups not to lose any weeks weighing, bit naughty that whoever sold you the countdown, when youve finished the countdown just tell whoever is taking the money in class and they can log you as shift worker and you wont need to pay as long as you let them know week before or text consultant etc, dont let this put you off slimming world tho lovely they are not all like this once youve found a fab consultant it can change your life good luck xx

    See, I thought that you could do this with a countdown which is why I text the leader in advance saying I was going to a meeting later in the week not missing a WI all together?

    I've requested to change groups now so hopefully won't be charged double again this week? We will always be able to make a Thursday meeting with this new leader as she does three meetings (am, afternoon and pm) on that day.

    Evening all c0208.gif well done to all you losers and big-hug-smiley-face.gif to those in need.

    I WI at the weekend with a 1.5lb gain, not surprised as it had to catch up eventually. Can't eat rubbish and get away with it for long :o. Will try my hardest this week to keep to plan as next weekend will be Birthday madness :o.

    On a lighter note have been in hysterics listening to son arguing with Siri on the ipad. If you don't have an ipad its a talking help app so you ask it questions and it replies either with websites or answers to your questions. Sometimes it was sounding a bit !!!!!! off lol.
    I bought myself an ipad mini to remind me of my Dad then had a sleepless night feeling guilty about the amount of money I spent on something I could have lived without but like my work colleague said 'its about time you bought yourself something'. Which is true I suppose as I bought hubby an ipad for his 50th and son had all his driving lessons and test/licence paid for all from my inheritance so in the grand scheme of things the amount I spent is justified [still trying to convince myself :o] I could have bought a dyson though :rotfl:.

    Food today:
    B - weetabix milk [a] coffee x2
    L - hm carrot & lentil [mushrooms, onions, s/corn, cannilini beans, curry powder, stock cube] soup, 2x toms, yog/fruit, choc orange thin [3.5]
    S - coffee, cheese curls [4.5]
    T - freshly made hm carrot & lentil soup [similar to above but with potato, peas, parsnip, brocolli & haricot beans], pasta
    Syns - 8

    I seem to be overrun with carrot & lentil soup as have 3 tubs in freezer and now have a huge saucepan full on the hob. Got to find more tubs so can freeze it all :p. Determined to lose this week.
    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T
    Keep the Faith All

    Heartbroken 12.12.13 :cry:

    I think we've got wires crossed as with the countdown you pay upfront for either 6 weeks or 12 weeks, If your paying weekly and you had recently changed groups and text the original consultant they wont be able to transfer a shift/holiday week as its only logged to your consultant but if youve requested to change groups last week youl be fine x

    Hey all, sori been a bit worse for wear today and been reading up on all comments. Congratulations to all you losers out there and big hugs for all who need it.

    Im pretty pleased with myself this week as i didnt think i was going to make it through st.Paddys day without being bad. I saved my syns for the drink yesterday which i used on rose wine and vodka, had a sneaky sambuka and jagerbomb! Totally dont remember having shots lol so today i got up and for breakfast i had pasta tuna onion and mayo, very good hangover cure lol then subway salad and a mugshot. Need something else but that can b put on soon. WI resulted in a 5lbs loss, everyone is starting to comment now on my face losing weight and definately see it in other places too, so excited and makes me want to keep going :) thank u all for ur support xxx
    Live Life to the Full and Enjoy!

    FF is fast forward, used as a final straw when members have had normal food diaries looked at, tried Success Express and its failed. Consultants really dont like giving out the info on FF because it is extremely strict, with weighing involved. Hoping to kick start weight losses that wont budge with any other methods. I will be getting a copy of it this thursday night so i can look it over. Happy for the time being that other methods now seem to be working for me though.

    OOOOOOOOO thats spooky ive not heard of fast forward for years and just rejoined on here and its all over lol im one of these people totally miffed with everything slimming world apart from group, i'd lost just over 7 stone turned round and had gained nearly 3 again and have yoyo'dup and down this bloming stone for last 3 months well since xmas so decided thats it i'm leaving and leaving sll slimming clubs but got coaxed to try FF for 2 weeks then back to food optimising for 2 weeks and see how ive done, I cant not try really as consu;tant is a fab friend of mine and know she has my health at heart... so started FF on Sunday and am loving it Its so nice not to have to plan foods meals and not have mega options for a change and seem to be having loads to eat too... so fingers crossed I can get out of this stone bracket ...

    Evening all, well done to the losers out there today :)

    We didn't have any chips with our tea we found the chicken and roasted veggies were enough. I have had 13 syns though today which is a bit high for me I tend to stick around 10 ish. Oh well nothing else shall pass my lips today (except some diet cream soda :) ) Will stick to plan again tomorrow :)
