No more delusions and wishing for quick fixes... Here for the long haul!!

Hey all!! So I first tried Slimming World in December 2011 weighing in at half a pound shy of 20stone. I stuck at it for a few months, found it really suited me and lost a few stone then fell off the wagon!! Managed to pile it all back on and some!! Have tried a few crash diets, calorie counting and exante in the mean time but never stuck to them long and know that none of them were anywhere near as healthy as Slimming World. I'm going to go back to my old class on Wednesday but after a massive binge tonight I've decided enough is enough and I am going to start extra easy tomorrow. My scales only go up to 20stone so the 23 and a half stone in my stats is a pure guesstimate from where the scale carries on back to the single figures again.

I want and have to lose weight for the following reasons:

1. We have been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years with no success and doc says thats down to my weight
2. I want my husband to have a sexy, healthy wife
3. To improve my mental and physical health
4. To be able to go out without being paranoid and to wear any type of clothes that I like
5. To reduce the weight of my bust (I have 38KK's and they KILL!!)

If anyone is in the same boat as me either weight wise, restarting wise or just fancy a chat then please subscribe and comment will try to update this everyday in order to keep myself on track.

Planning tomorrow's meals in advance to keep me on track:
breakfast: bran flakes and milk and banana (healthy extras a and b)
lunch: noodles and veg (dried noodles so all free)
dinner: turkey, potatoes and veg
will snack on fruit and muller lights and will drink diluting juice and if I have tea I will syn the milk

Well am really annoyed at myself today!! Couldn't sleep and ended up spending half the night (and some of the morning!) comparing prices on mysupermarket haha!! Finally got up just before 3pm but at least I have stuck to things foodwise, despite the fact that as soon as I'd finished my breakfast I was offered 2 packets of butterkist popcorn (my absolute fav!!) I politely refused and reminded them that I was restarting today only to be told that the Christmas presents had finally been sorted through and that a whole array of different choccies and chocolate biscuit sets are now set out in the living room!! Arghhh... but have been good so far and just got up and did the dishes and am now settled down with a glass of diluting juice. Not even feeling all that tempted just want to get the first few weeks back under my belt because I know I'll feel the difference instead of feeling bloated and sluggish all the time. Will try and get a wee bit of body magic in today aswell but not gonna push myself with that too much this week.

Ohmigosh just had dinner and I'm sooooo full!! had about 1/2 superfree rather than 1/3 aswell. Can't believe how full I am considering I am the same dinner yesterday except not slimming world friendly!! Yesterday I had gravy and cranberry sauce over the turkey, roast potatoes instead of new potatoes, peas and yorkshire puddings and I was still hungry after all that yesterday!! Crazy!!

Food and Drink:
3pm: Bran flakes and milk (HXA and HXB) with a banana, glass of diluting juice
6pm: Turkey, new potatoes, brussel sprouts and beetroot, diluting juice
7.30pm: Pear and 9 mint matchmakers (9 syns)
9.15pm: Mushroom & noodle soup made with 2 chicken oxo cubes
11pm: cup of tea with milk (1 syn)

Total syns: 10

Well had a bit of trouble getting off to sleep last night but no where near as bad as the night before. Got up at 11am so an improvement on yesterday though still not early enough to get back to normality on Monday!

Food & Drink:
11.15am: Bran flakes and 150ml semi skimmed milk (HXB and part of HXA) with a banana
2.30pm: Mushroom and noodle soup made with 2 chicken oxo and a pear
6pm: liver made with oil (18 syns in total amount of oil used but that was for 2 portions and there was loads still left in the pan and I also ran my piece under the tap though I'm not sure that took off loads of syns... anyway I'm gonna call it 15 syns to be on the safe side and not have any more today), potatoes, broccolli, cauliflower and carrots.
8pm: muller light, 2 tangerines and tea (milk from HXA allowance)
10pm: beetroot
11pm: tea (with milk from HXA) and tangerine

Total: 15 syns

Good luck on your journey xx

Thanks RaeRae xx

I'm the same with wanting to get back into a routine. I have been staying with family over the festive period as hubby has been working away a lot so I would have been on my own most of the time. Not going back home till Monday so have been helping out with the dishes etc to avoid puddings and chocolate.

Hi hun hope your start back at class goes well. I was 28st at my heaviest got down to just below 21st but hit a wall and have struggled the lasf couple of years going between 21 and 24 stone. Back up to 24 but determined to get below 20 this time and keep going. Its a long hard slog but with a group and here you will do it! Im clean eating at the moment but I need a group and weekly weigh in to keep me on track so I am going to go back to sw but cant get two group for a couple of weeks yet. Im sticking with my clean foods too but will use the hexs to limit my dried fruit and nuts etc and my syns to control any naughty. Think it will be a good combo for me

Looking forward to seeing how you get on x

first week will be done before you know it

Thanks Missa and Jackie x

I am debating whether to have a green day or not as I only have a few slices of lean meat in the fridge so could easily syn those if I want them and have some cheese as a second healthy extra a but a bit apprehensive as I have only ever done extra easy.

Just booked a wee weekend away at Valentine's as a surprise for hubby. So excited!! Am rubbish at keeping secrets so wonder how long I'll manage to keep this one for. I'm now googling restaurants near the hotel to see where I can get something SW friendly... so prepared haha.

Feel like absolute poo today!! Think I'm coming down with something Didn't get up til after 4 so I have no idea how I'm gonna get up early tomorrow to get back into normal routine. Have had a couple of co-cocodamol so really hoping there's no syns in those!! Had "breakfast" but think that was a bad idea. Don't think I'll be eating much today.

Food and Drink:
4.15pm: Bran flakes and milk (healthy extras) and a banana
7pm: lean ham, 4 cheese triangles (5 syns), beetroot, pickled onions
10pm: 2 tangerines
11pm: noodles, mushrooms and 2 chicken oxo

Total syns: 5

Oh dear, I hope you get well soon. Btw I doubt syns will be in cocodamol x
