Hi Sarah

I've seen your photo and you are a pretty girl - so I am not surprised that he said it. It is great that you enjoyed the compliment though.
Thanks :blush5:


I hope that your decision to leave SW works out well for you. Slimming clubs work better for some people than for others.
I think i was in the wrong place mentally for SW i was expecting so much more from it and was left wondering why was i paying for this???

I see that you are eating weetabix. Have you tried making it up a few hours earlier? It grows so big it is silly! I find it much more filling if I make it up the night before - or at least a couple of hours ahead of time. I put it in the fridge in a container which has a lid..
Nope not tried that! I have to have the milk warm though so dont think i will try this one but will keep it in mind though thanks

Well this week is going to be a good week i am going to eat mainly meat and veg (SW red days) and fish 1ce a week my exercise will be upped a) to meet the challenge and b) because i want to add swimming to my routine

It really makes a huge difference to how big it grows - I would suggest that you use plenty of milk and then when you are ready to have it - give it a zap in the microwave. Preparing it up front makes it feel like you are eating twice as much.

Good luck with your food plan and exercise for the week. I hope that you enjoy the swimming.
 
Hi

Sorry i havent been around i have really missed you guys!

Been busy with work and really tired for some reason

So heres whats happening
i think i am gaining weight!!!! not too sure why nothing has changed apart from i have come off my birth control pill wonder if thats it?
and because of that my cycles are messed up and :reddevil: hasnt arrived i wonder if this is another reason why?

Well im starting afresh Monday and see what happens
Sarah
 
Are you off the pill to start trying for a baby? Or are you on other BC methods?

Birth control can certainly affect weight. Give it a bit to get out of your system and see if the extra weight comes back off.
 
Hi Amber

Yes it was the pill i came off on the 23rd may so i do think that is the real reason for the gain

this month is our first month of trying i think i have worked out the dates to get a positive test but will wait and see im so excited but also so determind to keep with the healthy eating so i dont gain too much then it does happen

Sarah
 
Well so far this week i have done well
been taking fruit in to work to snack on and eating wuite well
Its our 4th wedding anniversary tomorrow (3rd) so will cook something special rather than go out so i will know what i put in it

Sarah
 
Happy anniversary!

Hope you are having a lovley day and being showered with gifts as you deserve =D
Try not to worry about the weight gain, whatever is causing it im sure you will sort it out soon and get loosing again. I hope you have a good week with eating and life etc.

Talk to you soon.
 
I hope that you had a great wedding anniversary. I am sure that you would have a lovely time.

That reminds me - I have to get a card in as it is my anniversary next week.

Dont worry too much about the weight gain and delayed period - we all get upward fluctuations at times. Often the pill regulates periods too. Since you have come off the pill - hormone changes will be going on in your body which can affect weight. Also - there is always the chance that you might be pregnant. You are eating a healthy diet - and you know that it is generally ok for pregnancy (I remember that you asked your Slimming World leader about whether it was suitable for pregnant women) and I know that you have said that you are continuing with the SW regime although you have stopped going to meetings.

I would tend to continue to eat healthily and exercise, and not worry about your weight or period for a few weeks.

Good luck in your forthcoming run.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
HI

Well weight today is doen 2.5lb from last week so i hope that the huge gain will just be the hormones and i willbe back to normal soon!

Also AF arrived so that will help

Anniversary was great and i got no chocs so i am really happy with that!

My run is tomorrow (Sun) and it looks like rain :( but hay my leg is still a bit sore but i think it will be ok to walk most with a jog in the middle

Someone mentioned Weight watchers to me and said SW didnt work too well for them but WW did so i think i will look into that and decide

Have a good weekend
Sarah
 
I am pleased that the anniversary went well - and "no chocs" was considerate.

It is great that your weight is coming down - hormones can be such evil little things - and they certainly affect weight.

Did the person mention which WW program they were recommending? There are 2 programs - "core" and "points".

I hope that the run goes well.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
No she didnt mention that there were 2 different diets to follow so i will ask when i see her next

Run??? i think i will be swimming it there has been nothing but very very heavy rain today and hail!!! Its JULY i dont think anyone has realised!

Sarah
 
Hey, lady! Glad to know you are well and still working towards better health. I wish you every success on producing offspring - it is quite a trip! *sigh* I still want more babies whenever I am around the wee ones...

cheers
ABBA
 
I think that it is brilliant that you did the run and raised so much money even though you were injured.
 
HI

well i have been looking into WW and got this months mag so will have a read up and see what i think
I wont be joining the class though dont think i can afford it at the mo but if i can do it at home and have the same outcome then i will be happy

Going out for a meal tonight for my birthday i have picked chinese so it will be easy to be good nothing deep fried

Sarah
 
Thanks!!!

I had a great birthday went for a meal on friday and went bowling on sat with my friends
I did drink over the weekend so i think i may be in for a gain this week.

Hubby has decided that we are no longer allowed anything tempting in the house more for his benefit than mine as he has decided he wants to loose weight as well so should make my life lots easier!

Well got to go to work im on a 12-8pm today
:waving:
 
I am pleased that you enjoyed your birthday celebrations.

It is great that temptation is going to be removed from the house. That should make things a lot easier for you.
