For breakfast I had grapefruit with a sprinkle if sweetener ... lush in this sunshine!

Lunch I had pitta bread pizza with a side salad ... was amazed at how delish that was!

And for dinner we are having stuffed portobello mushrooms with slimming world spicy wedges (boyf now prefers these to anything I buy as tried them out last week! Result!!!) and side salad ... again super yummy as had them before and didn't even realise they were syn free!!

Also been snacking on grapes during the day!

I'm amazed at how yummy my meals have been ... and am now excited about tomorrow! Lol!

So brekkie today was all bran with semi skimmed milk and some grapes, both healthy options used already but have already planned my lunch and dinner without any so its all good :-)

Will blog again after lunch! :-) xxx

Lunch consisted of a jacket potato with a sprinkling of cheese (naughty syn-age as I've already had my hex's today for breakfast!) and a side salad! And also managed to squeeze in a muller light! Yum!! Looking forward to dinner!! Hehe! :-) xxx

This was my super yummy pitta pizza I had for lunch yesterday :-) xx

Aww! Thank you! That's what I was thinking, the 1st stone is my mini goal so fingers crossed I can stick to it :-) I just feel different this time round so it can only be a good thing!

How far have you come on your journey?

So had a delicious syn free chilli filled with veg, with a side salad and rice, and even managed a handful of SW spicy wedges, was super amazing, the boyf was highly impressed! Yey!

Even have some left over so thinking maybe a jacket with chilli and salad for lunch :-) xxx

So, had grapefruit sprinkled with sweetener for breakfast, and a muller light, resisted the urge for chocolate mid morning (go me!) and had a pitta pizza with side salad for lunch (hex x2)!

Will report back after dinner! xxx

My Journey first started Feb 2012 @ 17st 2lb, i then went on to loose just under 2 stone before going on a holiday - i put 6lb on while on holiday and lost that as soon as i come back.. I then had a weekend away and put those 6lb back on again. Since then i was slowly putting it all back on till i over took my original starting weight and ended up weighing 17st 9lb. I then decided enough was enough and on 7th Jan this year i decided that would be my fresh start. I have now lost 14.5 lbs, however Slimming World only see it as 7lbs - which is quite disappointing!! I am so glad that i continued to go to group even though i know most weeks i would have put on - i just keep thinking that if i hadn't it could have been 1000x worse!!

This time i want to do it.
