Ging's Whirl at Weddings Weight Loss...

Hi people!

Having done my healthiest food shop ever last night and also demolished half a wheel of Brie (left over from Xmas) for dinner....today is Day One.

I did sw a few years ago with some success and lost a stone, but got comfy and complacent a bit too easily and it's half crept back on. Having got the books and not really wanting to join a class (I never found them that inspiring) I plan to weigh in at home every week. But...I need somewhere to be accountable, somewhere to share and monitor how I'm doing and somewhere to give me a kick up the bum if I go off track..so I'm here!

I seem to have a flurry of friends getting married this year (5!) and I'm a bridesmaid for one in may so the motivation for doing this comes from not wanting to be the porker in all the wedding photos! It's so annoying having friends and a sister that are no bigger than a size 10!! Doesn't help that the OH is 6ft4 and eats for Britain without ever looking fat!

So far I've had nothing today as got half way to work and then my boss agreed I could work from home...so am now heading home and looking forward to a banana and muller light and some of that douwe egberts caramel coffee I've seen people raving about on here!!

Might even be inspired to make some homemade leek and potato soup later!

B - fat free yog and banana

L - innocent Indian Dahl pot (already in the fridge and needed to be eaten today but 10.5 blooming syns!!!)
Apple
Lots of tea and nas juice (really making an effort to drink more water)

not sure yet on dinner...the bf is here tonight and I think he's planning spag Bol so can use some cheese on top and maybe a couple of Alpen lights for dessert! That's the hex covered!

Sounds good so far! Keep it up, will be following you as you go as I plan to start Monday :) x

Thanks rachools! (I'm a rach too :))

let me know if you start a thread and I can keep up with you too!

Good luck!!

Hiya, just popping in to subscribe x

Diary is looking good so far :) Good luck

So had spag Bol for dinner but used Ragu sauce so a few syns in there!

Then ate half a melon....(the tummy is a-gurgling!!)

Looking forward to a couple of Alpen light bars with a cuppa this evening! Got the cherry bake well ones yesterday, quite excited to try them!! How sad!

Also made myself some leek and potato soup to have in stock for lunches...summoning my inner nigella (although I haven't actually tasted it yet!)

off to snuggle up and watch black swan with the boyf (I've neglected him all evening, whoops!)

happy Friday people...feeling pretty good heading into the weekend!

Mmm cherry bakewell Alpen lights are yum! Orange choc are still my fave although it's pretty close!

Very impressed you made soup - might have to do that on Sunday to last me through the week.

How was Black Swan? Have been meaning to watch that for ages. I watched Avatar for the first time last night and loved it! Xx

Black swan was weird!! Very cool though...mila kunis is such a babe! Did you enjoy avatar??

So now absolutely stuffed after a big sw friendly brekkie:
Mushrooms
Beans
Ww wm bread (heb)
2 bgty sausages (1 syn)
Ketchup (1 syn)
2 poached eggs

I'm fit to burst!

That will do me until dinner and I Have plenty of fruit to snack on if not! Dinner will be some homemade soup before I head out in London to catch up with some old school friends. Aiming for just a few vodka and diet cokes as I have to be up and out bridesmaid dress shopping early tomorrow!! Eek! Would be totally Amazeballs if I have to buy a dress in one size and by 26th may its had to be taken in to fit my new slinky bod!
A girl can dream....

Avatar was fab - really enjoyed it.

Have a great night tonight and enjoy dress shopping tomorrow :) xx

I loved Mila Kunis in Black Swan, thought it was a good but weird film when I watched it :) breakfast sounds delish Ging! Hope you have fun tomorrow and just imagine when the bride's tutting cause you have to have that dress taken in in a few months ;) x

Bottle of prosecco and a whole lot of pizza down....at least 65 syns!! Will have to have a proper tally up and 'rest of the week' planning session in the morning! Aghhhh!!

Rachools do you have a diary?

Hope you all had a more disciplined evening than me!

I did the same thing! Need to have a very disciplined week!xx

Well bridesmaid dress shopping has been half successful!

Managed to resist the pain au choc and latte this morning at the station and opt for a banana and Americano instead! Plus a salad from M&S for lunch so I think I'm on about 5syns so far today!

My feet are killing from traipsing around shops today but I think the bride has decided on the type of dress we'll be wearing come May! Eek! So I have an idea of what I look like now and what is like to look like in it in a few months!

Dinner will be left over spag bol, muller light, blueberries and a couple of alpen lights!

Going to plan out the rest of the week tonight!

Rachools - thanks for the inspiration!! How good would that feeling be!!

Miss corset - how you feeling today after the yumminess last night?!

Diary looking good so far! Good luck and happy slimming :p
