I might get the new pump it up exercise dvd i have the old one and its hard but it is good, or you could try dance mats as they don't make you feel like hard work they are just fun (when you get the hang of it lol)
 
I think if you get the 'gold' membership you get the magazine and books, but it costs about £80 for three months :/

That sound about right hun, meetings are £4.95 per week and mag subscription is about £15-£20. x

do you have to pay that in one go?if so it's alot outright i start wednesday phoned the lady yesterday so shes expecting me i'm looking forward to it but i keep reading it's hard to get the hang of at first? how much are the mags and are they worth buying?
 
I found it really easy to get my head round, so much so I lost 5 lbs my first week. My sister never really got her head round it though.
I'm contacting my local group leader tomorrow to check its on this week so I can re join.

mags in the shop are £2.50 and £1.65 at group If I remember.
When you first join you pay your weekly fee of £4.95 plus £5 joining fee (if you buy bella mag tomorrow you can get £5 off).

They also do countdowns where you can buy 6 weeks for the price of 5. Or 12 weeks for the price of 10.
Its up to you how you pay, you can pay it weekly or get a countdown x
 
I ordered a pair of trainers today (as I don't own any) and I'm actually excited about them arriving.. how sad is that? Gonna start walking first, then go to the gym with my mate who's a fitness instructer. Slowly build myself up.. lol.
Now I need some clothes I can actually wear to exercise in, ahh money.
 
I brought some trainers running shoes from TK Maxx - as they had New Balance ones in that were non leather £22 instead of £69 they are still looking too white and newrolleyes

Was looking in the Sports Direct store in the Bullring today - they have some real bargins on for sports leggings and joggers and had t shirts for £2.99, I've kept some of my old tshirts that are a bit too big now and an old hoody for the gym.

I won a years subscription to the magazine in the Christmas raffle:)

Have got an A4 ringbinder in the kitchen where Ive photocopied green recipes from friends Mums old SW mags - going back to 2001!

I now seem to have a cold typically ready for starting back to work tomorrow but at least I'm not craving choc or anything naughty today, not hungry today.

I'm organised with the start back to work, fruit and yoghurt ready and done some cous cous Il add veggies/beans to for lunch tomorrow. Made a rice pud too as good for breakfasts/snacks - syn free if made with milk from your Healthy Extras A's

My Dad's just said he could pick me up Weds if I want to go to the 5.30pm weigh in - will try and go but it's one of the busy clubs with 2 meetings and if you get there 5.30pm you can have 100 in front of you:{ I shall think of an excuse to leg it out of my meeting as close to 5pm as possible then sprint up the road:)) If not will try and jog up to the Thurs weigh in in the village.

No problem hun :)
In the shops I think it is £2.50 and at sw classes it is £1.65. So you do save a little bit. I bought a yrs subscription for £15. x

I'm excited too hun :)
I'm full of flu at the moment but still determined to go out lol x
 
Ohhh! I can't wait to start now. I know I said new year but so much has been going on

We got burgled before Christmas :( luckily we rent, so we have now found somewhere new to live and been trying to use up all the food we have now rather than chucking it, so as to move into a new place at the end of the month and start new! This is when the diet will begin...

I'm unsure as to whether to sign up to the online programme or just find the latest books on Ebay and subscribe to the magazine and do it by myself. £80 is a lot and I don't fancy going to the classes alone. Once I get into dieting it's fine, it's just the thought of it all.
 
I would love some syn ideas please...
Please can you tell me what treats/snacks/drinks etc you all like to use your syns on and how many syns.
I am just writing out a syn value list of all my favourite things so I have got them to hand but also looking for new ideas. xxxxx
 
Finally a syn free snack pack mug shot type item that appears to be vegan!

Spotted the new Batchelors cup a pasta snack today in Co Op 59p

They only had roast vege flavour - junk food I know but syn free and vegan!

Want to find somewhere selling tomato and basil flavour see if thats vegan.
 
I finally went and weighed myself today. Pleased to say I only put on 2lb over the Xmas/ New Year period. Getting back on track now. Still following my own diet and have just got an allotment which hasn't been used in some time so will get plenty of exercise digging!
 
Unfortunatly theres a chance I wont make it to join back at class. I am determined to do it at home and mams offered to do some exercise with me.

Its cost to be honest, took my kitty Jake in for a check up last night and she thinks he has malformed hips and arthritis in his knees and its only 3-4 years old which she said isnt good. Got some pain relif for him but to know what going on he needs an xray costing £100.
Washing machine is also broke, rental ageny wont cover the repairs so another £60 which we just dont have.
We have had nothing but trouble with this house and I cant wait to tell the letting agency where to shove it when we move.

Sorry for going off topic, lol rant over.

Hiya Hun
Ive just had my food shop delivered today. would you like me to copy and paste what ive bought?
I find planning out meals then ordering your shopping or doing a list really helps. It stops you over spending that way. x
 
Thank you, x>> That would be great, i actually made the choc cake with bran flakes today, yum yum just what I needed for a choco fix.
Kitty should be fine, just need to find a supplement so his hips arnt as clicky and helps with the soreness in hips and knees bless him.
He spent 30 mins trying to get me up today and the little so and so has slept since then.
 
Awww bless his little heart. Hope he is okay :)
Glad you enjoyed the cake, theres plenty more where that came from ;) lol x
 
I'm pinching the bathroom scales from my mam tomorrow night, so il weigh in and start on Friday.
Got some quark that needs using so going to do something with it tonight, with pasta maybe.
 
I am trying to plan the meal's but i couldn't find many recipe's as the slimming world site wouldnt let me on (i can get on now) to be honest the thought of eating that much food is a bit sickly lol
 
YOu dont have to have all the food they suggest, its meal ideas that are good. But sometimes they do put tons and tons on there lol. x
 
I think the main problem is i don't "get" it i have no idea how i'm supposed to work anything out:( I went to group and just listened to what everyone else had lost and the woman went through the book a bit but i don't know any more than i did before i went i just have book's to go with knowing nothing. It may be because I'm tired i've not been getting up early over holiday's and kid's went back today and i biked to group which is about half hour away on bike so am very tired and can't get my head round it. I was just trying to find recipe's for the whole week!
 
I remember I was stuck after the first week - could not get my head round it but after that it did click, I started the day a new class with a new to it consultant started so feel that helped.

Been to weigh in tonight talk about traffic chaos outside - my Dad was not impressed picking me uprolleyes have stayed the same which is ok this week.

Considering I was at an evening weigh in and was wearing heavier clothes - last week was in lighter clothing and was a 10am weigh in.

So am expecting I'll start losing again next week:)

Mrs W - what was that diary at Asda? I have had a message youve approved my friends request on FB but I still get the add you as a friend page - cant get on your FB page?
