Following on from my post earlier. Do people pile up their plates with free food potatoes pasta ect or do you restrain your portions of free food.

I pile my plate but in proportion. So for EE that means a pile of potatoes but match it with (at least ) a third of veg plus the lean meat or fish.

The 'Reveal' offer is a voucher in a magazine for the £5 joining fee. So your first visit will just cost £5 (plus price of magazine obviously) for the books, introductory talk. This is round figures, I think it may be £4.95 or similar.;)

Great NSV for me tonight. Two colleagues commented on how much weight I'd lost. I've been at target for two years and it still felt good!:D I think it was probably because it's the first warm evening we've had in years and I was wearing a skinny t-shirt and skinny jeans so it showed!:)

Have had to change my menu for today again! Will now be doing an EE day as the "veggie chilli" I got out of the freezer isn't veggie at all - it's chilli mince with veg & chickpeas! I've also added some butterbeans to stretch it a bit further since my sister has decided to visit today. I really must label better when I put stuff in the freezer!

Think I'll probably serve with pasta rather than rice.

I think you are right Nessie, and I have located a local group Thursday morning. I can only find offer online which means it will cost me £9.95 including the class fee- is that what you mean? Or what is the 'reveal' offer please?

The more I have read, the more I am sure I need to go to at least one meeting and get to understand the plan better! For some reason I found it hard to understand last time and was constantly being told that I wasn't eating enough and leaving out important options, lol! No one would believe I used to work as a highly trained nurse when I can't follow a simple diet!

£9.95 is the current offer in group - but if you get the voucher out of the reveal magazine you save an extra £5

I definately think it is worth going to group, but it could all depend on the consultant whether or not to continue going every week

Might be worth taking to a doctor & see if they will refer you to slimming world - i did when i first started and got over a years membership free

Morning all

Today is not shaping up to be a good day at all for me. I woke at 6am with the usual monthly "egg release pain" so spent from then until my alarm went off being in pain & trying to sleep . I have been fortunate the past 2 months that it has been mild & an irritant rather than intense ..i suppose i am due an intense month

I am also feeling very hot, uncomfortable and bloated as well. Really not a happy bunny today. I am supposed to have a driving lesson this evening but am thinking of trying to reschedule it.



Food wise hasnt been the best start either - i didnt even think about what day i was planning ..just ate some toast & chicken peices. I havent even brought my lunch. I wish i had called in sick because i really really really wanted too :(:(

I cant post a menu because i honestly dont know what to do..:o:wall::wall:

i have decided i will have jacket spud for lunch, and will buy some laughing cow cheese triangles to put on.

Will also buy a few bits of fruit for me to graze on (pineapple ) because i want sweet food today..I hate this time of the month. While i have to admit things are better than they were 6 months ago i still go through a "low" period. Hmruphhhhh

Ughh. Aside from fathers day, I'd been good. Until I had to call Tax credits.
How. Flaming. Stressful. I have always known I comfort eat... I didn't need their help. Tommorow is weigh in. This is the 3rd week that I've mucked up the day before.
GRRRRR

Sorry to hear you're both having a hard time. RFD - you might not think so but you're doing really well to eat well when you don't feel like it, it's really difficult when you don't feel well.

Hi SuziQ it just a little thing we started a few posts ago.. I got the idea from another site that talks about SW.
Your in a weight bracket accoring to your weight.
I weigh 11. 11 1/2lb so Ian in the 11 to 10st bracket
Or yards as we seem to have adopted
Hense the losing the lard to get into the next yard.
I thought I would have been in the 11 to 12st bracket but was corrected on the other site as the 11st 10st zone
It's a bit confusing I know but welcome to join until you go down into the lower yard. Bit like the old fashioned yards at school
Hope that makes sense.

I thought you would have been in the 12-11 as well, is that not the case? Haven't read the other forum about it but is it the next stone bracket you're aiming for then? Confused! :rotfl:

TBH I was confused perhaps we could keep it simpler and just use the stone as a marker. So that means I'm in the 12st to 11st 'yard' descending
Then into the next lardy 'yard' at 10st 13lbs.:j wel that something to look forward to then:T
EE don't mean for this to become so confusing or complicated:rotfl:

The other sw website is fab but sometimes the advice is wrong
