Hello, Newbie here :)

Hello all :) I'm new to this site, and new to Slimming World (I joined SW just under a month ago). I tried to join the main forum but I'm still waiting for an admin to approve my account. Okay, trying to lose 6 stone 1.5lbs to get to 10 stone, which is the upper end of me feeling me. Put a ton of weight on due to medication and though it was coming off after I stopped the medication it slowed down so I'm trying SW to speed it up. I've lost 11lbs so far :) No idea what to say now so will leave… Continue

Symptom monitoring Diaries

I heard about symptom monitoring diaries through somebody at the Verity forum. They do a variety of different ones but the blue moon diary is specifically do issues such as endometriosis and pcos. I really think my symptoms of PCOS overlap with my migraines, the tiredness straddles the two problems I am almost certain. I also wonder if my symptoms have a pattern to them or could be better controlled by making dietary or lifestyle chan… Continue

The coil, BUPA and all that jazz

Ok so I have now had the coil fitted which went quite well but left me a bit sore and wobbly for a few days. Go for a check up in 5-6 weeks time but have assumed that it is all ok, that is me done for 5 years and hopefully that can be popped out just before it gives up the ghost and I might then be in a place to be starting to ttc which would be exciting but I'll come back to that in a moment. Went along on Friday morning to have a basal profile blood test done ready for my first endo appointme… Continue

He has gone and isn't going to turn around

Well OH and I are no more. I did something terrible several months ago and it seems that we just can't get past it. So this weekend, after talking and crying we have split-up. At the moment I keep being ok for a litte while and then breaking down, I guess that is normal though. He left here to drive back to the midlands, sat hoping and praying that he will turn around and the buzzer will go...that I will see his face and that he will tell me that he can see that I made a terrible mistake for whi… Continue

Week 7 so far...

Leading me onto my next point - plan of action for this week!! a) drink 2-3 litres of water or sugar free squash a day b) food diary to be completed c) plan my food d) avoid cakes, biscuits, muffins, mashed potato, alcohol, 'high GI carbs' - they are not my friend it would seem and if I can reduce them for a month and see a difference then they have to permanently go. When I do have pasta/rice/potato going to try to have protein with them. Tuesday: was ill with migraine/all day heada… Continue

A couple of neutrogena product reviews

I have been using a couple of new skin products from the Neutrogena range. The moisturiser of this range was recommended to me by a friend from Church who I found out has PCOS. Apparently her dermotologist had mentioned that oil-free products are better for the spots/dryness etc: Triple Action Lotion:

My PCOS

Irregular and heavy periods (this is based upon pre-the pill as for the past 5 years I haven't had natural periods). Currently excessive frequency of bleeding but awaiting coil to settle. Excess hair, top lip (wax weekly), chin/neck/side-burns (not awful but this has got worse with time, developing a fine layer), arms (getting worse with the last 6 months), legs (coarse and very dark, very limiting in terms of clothes) Weight, gain is easy, loss is har… Continue

The Beginning

I have always been overweight, well that's not strictly true, since I was about 20 years old I have been overweight and have yo-yo dieted for the past 20 years. On 30 December 2007, I had a nasty accident which left me with a tripple fracture and dislocation of my left ankle, it left me requiring two operations to put in plates and screws. It is now April 2008 and I am still unable to walk or even fully weight bear on my ankle and I am awaiting further surgery. I am sure this is to do with my we… Continue

So I have PCOS - but what is it?

Ok so this is based on NHS Direct's factsheet on PCOS. Since I was diagnosised I have been doing a lot of research and trying to find out what this is. It helped give me an outline of what PCOS was all about and hopefully it might help you. I want to add that PCOS is very different for each person and if you have any personal experience which you are happy to share then please add a comment. Some people can have PCO which is the same problem but without symptoms. Amy x Intr… Continue

Ultrasound results are in - I have PCOS surprise surprise!!

Ok so I wasn't ready to post this yesterday but I had my scan for the suspected PCOS. Firstly, how stupid on me, when they said it was an ultrasound I hadn't realised it was going to be an internal one!!! How funny and embarrassing all at once! hehe Straight away the lady said 'yes, definiately PCOS - look at all the cysts on your ovaries, more so on your left that right'. Although I had always thought it was, from when I first asked the question 5 years ago - thinking and knowing are very diff… Continue

What a difference...

a few weeks can make. As I time this to you I feel more like myself than I have done in 6-12 months!! I am 5.5lb lighter than I was when I began this blog and my weight is decreasing at a nice rate of around 2lb a week which suits me fine. To ensure that I lose at least 1.5lb this week I really want to make sure that I: a) keep a food diary b) drink 2-3 litres water a day Head: My side-effects are much less severe now. I get tired but it come and goes over the days and I just have to deal with… Continue

Off-load rather than explode!

Thursday: I had to go and see my consultant today and in general it went as I anticipated. As these tablets seem to be controlling my headaches then we will stick with them and monitor the side-effects/how I am managing them or managing with them over the next 3-5 months ish. Then we will decide whether to stick or gamble - that is stick managing them or try coming off the tablets and seeing what happens ie do the headaches still exist? Can I cope on less medication? I am also going to be due an… Continue

Week 2 dissection

This week was a successful for me, I lost 2.5lb meaning that in 2 weeks I have lost 2lb - in line with my ideal of 1lb a week! So I should have lots of things to type away about in here right?!! But I don't, it wasn't a stunning week with no hiccups and or difficult/bad choices neither was it one of those weeks where you eat like a pig and miraculously stand on the scales and wonder how the hell you got away with it. How had I lost this chunk of weight, what was it that I had done and which had… Continue

Variety

So today I was jotting down what I had planned to eat and realised that day 1 consisted mainly of BEANS...well they have a high level of sugar and salt to start with which isn't good and also where is the variety of colour and food type?! I mean when they government talks about 5-a-day that is meant to be 5 different-a-day isn't it?!!! So how about this...instead of beans on toast I had; a small portion of beans with lentils, tomatoes, onion and a little garlic on toast. Still lacking a variet… Continue

The beginning

This week I had the first suicidal thought I have had in years...I thought about how appealing it was to fall asleep and not wake-up, I thought about Heath Ledger and I wondered if my tablets (migraines see 'about me')... But before my thought could go any further I stopped myself because I know that suicide would be selfish, it would devastate the people around me and that I have many very postive things in my life. Then at the weekend OH and I had an arguement and I just didn't have the energ… Continue

Eating at uni

Why are my university colleagues so unhealthy? I gave up smoking a year ago and they smoke. I start on a new diet and they go to the restaurant every day!!

Well, I must apologize to my poor blog, I have abandoned and neglected it. But then, I have abandoned and neglected the food plan, my diet, and myself.

Recently I have been sick and had issues with my job, and issues just in general, emotionally etc. I have dealt with these on the whole by eating. Hmm, never done THAT before....NOT!

No matter how much I tell myself it doesn't matter what day, or part of the day, you 'start again' on, a Monday, or even more, the start of a new… Continue

OK, here I am

Righto then, let's set the scene. I'm 36 , and need to lose at least 5 stones. That just about sums it up I think!! I've been a serial Weightwatchers and SLimming World joiner, and have lost on both, although I much prefer SW, and I've lost about 3 stones in the past. Unfortunately, however, it's always all gone back on, which is how I find myself here again.

I rejoined SW about 4 weeks ago and have lost 8lbs to date, although I'm having an awful week at the moment. I really can't seem…

Well, its been a few days since my last blog post, and its been a stressful week in many ways. In my last post I talked about leaving my job - I have spent the last few days worrying about whether it was the right thing to do, but firstly - theres no going back now so I might as well go forward! And secondly, however much I think now I could have 'dealt with it better' I know that the situation was NOT my fault, and that it would not have improved, had I stayed there. And when it comes down to i… Continue

when you see a butterfly

when you see a butterfly what do you see?

you see how they, flutters softly flying into the air, you see their colours so divine.

you see how they surface up on the flowers head, so swiftly and gently as they spread out their wings. Take a good look at what you can see look hard and close as you may see. That slender of the beautiful butterfly, has turned into the most enchanting fairy that you have ever seen. As sweet as kind as she wor…

Natalie was sooooo welcoming, was like I'd never been away! So I'm considering this a fresh start - have compiled a brand new ticker accordingly!

I resigned from my job yesterday, after I did, shall we say, reach my limit with the instability and lack of integrity of certain people in charge. I do not have another job, though actually doing something about it, after months of not being happy about the situation, has given me more confidence than I have had for a long time.

Menu Planning.

I don't know if this helps many people but for me, it is the one thing that really helps me stay on the right track. Its the times that I don't plan that I end up going off the rails because i haven't been able to decided what to have until the last minute and by that time i am usually starving and snacking on the thing nearest to me ( and thats not usually anything SW free) So I think I am going to start putting my weekly menu on my blog here so that anyone can get inspiration from it.

So the back's better but I'm covered in blisters.....

Well the back must not have been as serious as I thought as it was more or less gone within two days. So feeling better, though guiltly for the lack of exercise, I decided to take the dog for a walk. Was about 2 miles, why started out dry but turned into absolutely soaking day! I was soooo wet that my jeans were soaking from the floor to my knees and my feet were waterlogged. What I hadn't realised was whilst walking that distance with wet heels I was ripping bits of skin off them - hence the…
