Cheers! My dress fit me at 12st8 but it's just people keep making little comments about how I must be eating healthy etc.. I am, it's just huge pressure! I've a personal trainer and I told her that I didn't want to lose weight but just tone up and she thinks it's a better goal to obtain!

I hate it as well - especially as I do it online and I literally have no chance of ever winning it! I plan to plod along myself with my pound losses and I'll treat myself to something extra nice to make up for it when I hit my goal!

Well done turning down Ferrero Roche.. I love em! Lol. I couldn't have them in the house

I'd love 2.5lbs!! I rarely get big losses but all the 1lbs and 1/2 pounds really do add up!

Ah thanks ladies!!! It's definitely showed me that keeping my hard work pays off!! Just back from the gym.. Ankles okay, but it hurt a tiny bit after stretching.. Hope it's nothing major!

So no dinner, just some cordial and I'm off to bed. Pretty tired and tbh, just want to get WI over with tomorrow morning. I've been Stella this week but I have a feeling about it! Can't say why I do but all will be revealed tomorrow I say! Nandos today was such a treat and so lovely to be able...

Well done bubbles!! One pound gone! I can't help much in terms of advice, my thing is to make sure you have 5 minutes you time... Even before you fall asleep and just try to clear your thoughts.. Meditation is suppose to be very good!

Oh lord, I'd probably die if I worked in a bakery - from a sugar coma! Cakes and pastries are like, my thing!

We are getting married this year so one of my resolutions was to spend quality time together! We've been to Nandos, headin to the arcade now to act like big kids and win a teddy ;) and then on to the cinema!

So so proud I didn't go over my syns yesterday, even though I had a few to spare.. Got serious PMT today and OH wants to do a date day.. So will be making my EE day up as I go along! Breakfast : hex b chewy Special K bar, grapes, melon, strawberry and blueberries with ff natural yoghurt and 2...

Hey ladies, interview went well. It's for a part time position so I really need to ask myself if it's for me and if it's something I can see out long term. Mainly as I don't want to be changing jobs every year, it doesn't look good on the old CV! I actually got employee of the month at work as...

Got another interview today so fingers and toes crossed

I usually use all of mine.. Especially on chocolate! ;) I find having that little treat helps me. It's a tiny amount of calories and starving/restricting yourself can put your body into survival mode, which isn't what you want for weight loss

My OH is back! Yay! Missed him and I do hate him being away! Breakfast : all bran and milk (both hexs) with banana Snack : tea and Alpen light, 4 syn chocolate Lunch : Butternut squash soup and apple Dinner : probably some more soup as I am heading to John Legend tonight! Whoop! Edit ...

Hi bubbles, he's not back til Monday morning - and probably the reason why I had a blip.. Little bit anxious for him. We haven't spent this long not in contact in I would say years! Tough not being able to text him but I swore to myself I'd let him have his boys weekend in peace! ;) Spending...

You can do it Upanddown!

Oh lord.. I had a job interview today and yes, with the flu I went.. It was a train wreak! It was for a school but they don't give school holidays off for administrative people.. So annoying.. Anyway, we will wait and see.. I don't think I got it though, there was an American lady in before me...

Hi bubbles! Thank you! Not feeling so great at the moment, think I'm coming down with the flu!! But healthy food and water help get rid of a cold so that's what I'm doing!

So, I've been having major doubts about my wedding dress. I don't want to tell my OH as it will stress him out. Anyways, I bought it on a whim really and it was mainly cos I had pretty low confidence in what I could wear due to my size. Over the last few weeks, probably due to losing a few...

Holy hell Gemsta - you walk an amazing amount every day! I feel so lazy!!! I've a desk job. So annoying

Nope Rosie, I live abroad in the Middle East but Ireland is home! My diary and doing SW online keep me on track.. It can be super hard cos we don't have Muller lights and some other produce which means I have to use my imagination! Oooooh and our hen parties are on the same weekend! :D can't...

Cheers Christie, I think I need to try it on again to know for sure. I can get one as well where I am, lucky they are used to quick weddings so I'm not panicking just yet!

I feel like that with a lot of my clothes but the dress really pushes them up and at em! And to think people pay for that, they are crazy I think!

Yeah, it's my hen party and I want to be well into the 11s by then. I'm freaking out in my head about being a fat bride! I'm in a weird headspace at the moment. Some of my friends know I'm trying to be good and one of them pointed out that I ate a cornflake bun at the weekend at the party! If...

Cheers very much blue cow! Week 3: lost 1lb! Finally scales moving in the right direction

Hi all! Wi today and I lost 1lb.. Ordinarily I'd be happy but as I passed on some amount of stuff, I was hoping for a better loss. I suppose that's the way it goes. Now I have 8.5lbs to lose in 7 weeks. More than doable I think.. Breakfast : hex b all bran with hex A milk with apricot and...

Well done!!! That defo took a lot of will power!

A Sammie, they are gorgeous!! Have a great Valentine's Day!!

Cheers Sammie! It's a wee treat! I'm not doing much today, lovely to have a nice snugly bed day

Thank you. I've only tried it once. I'm quite top heavy so it makes my boobs look huge.. I hoped if I was a little lighter maybe my boobs would go down

Morning all!!! Happy Valentine's Day!!! Me? I got a lovely card and I'm getting a Sw breakfast in bed! No chocolates this year but it was as per my request, I do love my OH.. Breakfast : scrambled eggs, tomatoes and 2 syn Linda mc c sausages Lunch: veggie burger (6 syns) with hexs, tomato...

I'm glad your journey is going well Christie, I have to say I'm doing better this time as well. Looking fit and healthy for our wedding and being healthy enough to start having babies is my goal. I've lost 8.5lbs since December and started online as well in the middle of that! I'm such a slow...

I'd love to get the fadeaway book but I will have to wait until I get home to buy it!

Had my curry and it was nice but I wouldn't say it was the nicest Thai curry I've eaten but good enough to satisfy my belly!! OH has gotten all tears on the way back, chatting about how he can't wait to have babies - I'm a lucky lady.. :) Still have both my hexs so I think I will just have a...

Cheers Sammy!! I've been so good at the party! Defo going to have my chicken Thai green curry now!!

Best of luck Sammie!!!

Jenna, I'm getting married on the first week of September to my lovely OH! Got my dress, I'm having a bit of a wobble over it at the moment... Not sure if I still entirely want to wear it :/ the bridesmaids are sorted and everything's booked so it's just down to me now to get organising!!!

Hi Amy and Jenna!! How are you finding the plan at the moment?

Christie, it's great! It was hard at the start but I've been here a year and a half and I love it now! Such a chilled out lifestyle! Jessika, I definitely am flat out! I think I bore people to tears chatting about it!

Snap of my lunch! Amazed it's Syn free!! Didn't use the sauce!

So fast! I can't believe it!

Plan on staying in with a romantic on track Italian meal.. I was thinking spagetti carbonara with garlic bread and salad.. Oh and possibly some chocolate orange mousse after as OH likes the SW ones!! I won't be drinking though, trying to steer clear of the stuff to at least St Patrick's day..

Stuck to my diet today!! Whoop, finally! Planning on having a 5 syn kit Kat and some tea now before I head out tonight! No telling the OH but I did buy this wee mulberry beauty! It was second hand but it is in immaculate condition, receipts and all! Thought it was better than stuffing myself...

Hi ladies! Things are good here! Ticking away at work and I'm getting married in like 7 months! Mental!

So instead of wallowing in self pity about my ankle I got up and made my foods for tomorrow! Breakfast : berries with all bran and milk (both hexs) Snack : 3 syn alpen light and leftover milk in tea Lunch : Orange and tomato veggie cous cous! Really looking forward to this as it tastes...

Haven't tried swimming yet, it's definitely an option though! Just need to find somewhere with an indoor pool! Cheers love :) I have until Sunday to WI so I'll try and make good choices this week!

So annoyed, I've went over on my ankle and I Stepped on the scales and it is showing a massive gain not happy at all!! Asking my friend today and he said I shouldn't exercise cardiovascularly for at least 3 weeks!! this is going to put me in a tight place to reach my target now :(

Ooh bubbles, your cards are lovely! You should do my wedding invitations, mine are going to be crap! Lol! Glad to see your on it though! Well done on the exercise

My main thing is not getting board and obviously be prepared for lunch which seems to be were I am slipping up. Got a massive pot of speedy soup on with lots of beans in it for my P! I went over on my ankle so the gym is out this week, really annoyed. The ladies I play football with have a...

Hi blue cow - Feb week one and two are sts for me. Cheers

Thank you doll!! I've tried to be good as it's the first time I've had a drink in a while... And also probably the only time in a long time. Next time will be the St Patrick's day ball in March I hope!

Hi bubbles, I had a planned day and afternoon off plan and honestly, I still feel bad because of what I ate! Even though I knew I was going to be bad. Don't beat yourself up about it, I think we tend to be quite critical of ourselves when we are on this journey

Cheers Gemsta!! It'll be interesting as I did 100% up till Wednesday evening, had a good Thursday during the day so hoping it would help!!

Ha ha ha totally back to normality today! Going to do an EESP day in order to prevent my WI tomorrow being a disaster! Breakfast : so far dioralyte and 1 alpen light bar (1/2 hex b) lunch: hex b roll with salad and 2 boiled eggs with 1 syn of laughing cow cheese Diet coke and curly wurly...

Oh sorry cloud! I didn't see that!

So today has come up all trumps and I passed my test as well! Might even make a pizza chicken tonight to celebrate instead of an omelette! can't wait to drive my hubby to be around

Thanks bubbles. Slightly disappointed I didn't lose more, haven't even got my 1/2 stone award on my online membership.. Which is very very annoying. This week will be tough, heading to a wedding reception on Wednesday and a night away as well in a hotel

Week 5 for me and 1.5 lbs lost. Still aiming to get to my target, looks like it will be slow and steady loses for me!

Hi guys! Thanks very much! Today's WI is 1.5 lbs off! Happy to have lost but I was really aiming for 2lbs this week. It is * week though so I'm hoping it will show next week! I feel soooo tired this morning! Wouldn't say I'm feeling nervous about my driving test but it's not for a few hours...

Hey all! Just sitting down here after a run around at laser tag! I had a NSV, they didn't have any teabags left at Starbucks (like wtf?) so I declined all drinks and instead of over synning I kept myself in line! Got a few bits to treat myself instead of buying chocolate

Oh TGIT!! Cannot wait until the weekend begins! Haven't got much on at work today so that's wonderful! Me and OH worked out last night that with the exchange rate at the moment being so high for us here, our wedding will be all paid off at the end of next month!! Whoop! Then to concentrate on...

I have to do it online. I would like to go to a class or two just for the small bit of recognition, it doesn't seem to be so with the online. I did hate the clapping bit, it seems so childish! Trying to be good today, I've had a wonderful week so far! I'm noticing it a little bit more today.

I do one or two EESP days but I honestly don't see any difference as well so sticking with EE for now!

Yup! Around 4 syns I think? Mine served 4 portions! All good so far today! Might have a wee snack and some tea now when I get in after work! Debating on whether to go out for a wee run as well!
