Hi guys does anyone mind if I join you? When I was here before I got down to 13st 4lbs but as always am now back to 14st 7lbs after losing 1lb this week, haven't really stuck to it 100% so quite happy to lose anything! Have a holiday booked for May so would love to be 12stone something by then??

Ooh lovely a Xmas challenge, count me in! I've just climbed back on the wagon after 3 months off, have managed to put about 10lbs back on so need to get rid of those plus another 10 at least! Am doing calorie counting via the my fitness pal app. Good luck everyone!!

Well done sewingbee. My week is going ok so far. Although I started on Wednesday I like to weigh on a Sunday so I am going to weigh again Sunday morning and then go from there. But hoping to have lost something between Wednesday and now? :)

Ok after a way too long break I am climbing back on the wagon tomorrow. Had a last boozy lunch today so there is no excuse now, wish me luck :/

Hi has anything ben said at slimming world about the new Lurpak cooking mist? I looked at the calories and they are a bit higher than fry lite but it taste's better than frylight, wondered if it might be like the bertolli spray (7 squirts for 1/2 syn)??

Actually forgot to weigh in on sunday, but did it this morning, could have been worse, I gained 3.5lbs but I have been off plan for about 2 weeks so hey ho. Back on it ish this week as we have a works night out on wed and the only choice is pizza! Then we are out for lunch on saturday where...

Lost 1lb this week, ok with that as have had good and bad days. Since i've started having a microwave meal for lunch at work, I have been finding the afternoons a bit easier as they are warm and filling, I know I could make my own syn free versions but i'm too lazy lol. Loving the WW chicken...

Hi daisybell good luck with your surgery! A gain for me this week :( I've been cheating the last few weeks really and still managing to lose small amounts but it's caught up with me this week :( oh well only myself to blame, back on it Monday as I'm out for lunch today but I am going to pizza...

On the Prezzo website they have a nutritional information sheet, makes interesting reading! Looked at what I would usually have and eeek! I am going for a works doo on the 12th and i'm going to go for bruchetta and then either the chicken in marsala sauce with salad (might have chips)? or the...

Hiya lauuuu10 deffo day off plan for me too, roast lamb with all the trimmings. A day 1 for me tomorrow :) Sent from my GT-N7000 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Lost 1/2 lb which is a miracle as lots of things have 'accidentally' fallen into my mouth this week! Must be the exercise keeping it off?? Anyway spent the morning looking through old food diaries to try and get back on track this week. Get paid tomorrow so I can go and splurge on healthy food :)

Had porridge with a tsp of golden syrup yesterday, today had potato pancake with bacon and beans :)

Hiya everyone, slow losses for me again this week only half a pound but better off than on, I am using my exercise bike most nights and my losses seem to be even slower since starting it, maybe I'm losing inches instead?? My clothes certainly don't feel tighter so ??? I am so pleased though that...

Yay thought I was gonna have another week of sts and ended up with a 1.5lb loss :)

1.5 lbs off this week, glad I stuck with it and the exercise! I've worked up from 3 mins on the bike to 20 mins in a couple of weeks, my fitness is poor due to other health problems but really pleased to be getting somewhere, I've also added some very light arm weights to do a few arm...

I think I'm sts this week again, official weigh in tomorrow. A bit annoying as I have been good this week but I have upped my exercise a bit so maybe that's affected it?? Oh well I'm going to carry on as giving up is not an option I'm prepared to take :)

2 x small potato pancakes 2 x bacon medallions 1 x tbsp maple syrup (2.5) Some fruit Was lovely treat for a day off work brekkie :)

I managed to find a page online with lots of cracker options I'll copy it on here later for reference :)

The round shaped finn crisp rye is a lot thicker than normal finn crisp they are 45kcals each so 2.5 syns each, such a shame as they taste lovely :)

EE today A = 1/2 allowence of skimmed milk and 1/2 allowence of chedder B = Wholemeal roll for burgers later :)

Hi, does anyone know what kinds if cracker/crispbreads can be used as a healthy B choice and how many you can have? I bought some finn crisp original rye rounds thinking I could have 3 but it turns out you can only have 2 which isn't enough to fill me up at lunch :( I also have in the cupboard...

Not a great week for me this week, my basic food diary is fab all main meals on plan, but then you look at my snacks section and it's definitely a diary of 2 halves! Way too much cake this week, not helped by my lovely work girlies, who take offence if I don't share but I think I'm going to have...

Not a great weeks for me had mostly on plan meals but way too many cakes and pastries to mention! Sts which is amazing. I've been on the exercise bike every night, that's probably the only reason why! On the plus side I've discovered muscles in my legs this week that I didn't know existed so hey...

Potato pancake with mushrooms and spring onion and beans :)

Spicy pork and rice 1 pot meal from the hairy dieters book, yummy :)

30g of choc chip mini weetabix yesterday, they're lovely! I'm going to my friends for brekkie today.... how many syns in a croissant??? :/

Oh god another disastrous day today, why do people always buy cakes when I'm on a diet!!! Yes I know I don't have to eat them but try telling my hand and mouth that lol ;)

1 tbsp smash, 1 egg and 1 tbsp skim milk, whisk it all together and leave it to thicken, then fry in a pan both side, sometimes I fry some chopped spring onion and sprinkle on a bit of cheese, it's so yummy. I know some people would consider this a tweak but it's really filling and in still...

Potato pancake with spring onion, 2 pork patties, mushrooms and beans, with a cuppa, was delish and all free :)

Good luck with slimming world heatherenzed :)

Mine had gone up the other day but still had a loss, stick with it, sometimes it takes a few days to show :)x

Well done you I'm sure all that walking earned you enough syns to cover pie and cider!!

Omg that sounds so delish I love lamb but never buy as so expensive and I'm not very confident cooking it either! Hope you enjoyed!

Hiya everyone a 1lb loss for me this week, happy for that. Bought myself an exercise bike today so hopefully with being able to do more exercise it might speed up weight loss, or lose some inches, would be happy with either!! I had some blood pressure problems so had been avoiding exercise but...

1lb loss this week, have struggled a lot this week not sure why, I think I need to rethink my use of syns as I never seem to have any for treats and because of that the last couple of days have been filled with..... doughnuts!! Oh well back on it again this morning and have just purchased an...

I'm wondering if I've been eating enough as it's been really stressful this week at work and home and I haven't always had my HEXB or many syns 1 day I only had 1 and other days 4 also I haven't drunk very much water this week and I've done no exercise this week either?? Hmm will drink lots...

So annoyed with myself had a sneaky peak weigh in and I've put on weight!! I've been so good this week as well :(

Lost 1lb this week which I'm very happy with, only half a lb more and it will be 2 stone! I'm definitely taking the scenic route, but I comfort myself with the fact that if I hadn't done anything at all then I'd still be 15st 9lb worrying about my health, having palpitations and thinking every...

Hi Clare74, I am more of a browser, but this website is amazing so much support if and when you need and the meal idea threads are amazing, whenever your bored of the same food pop on over and get some great menu's, good luck on your weight loss journey :)

I tried a SW garlic chicken receipe yesterday which I wasn't sure about but it was lovely, would tweak it slightly next time, but deffo edible, and we regularly have the hairy dieters pork and rice all-in-one meal, it's very sw friendly and even my picky son will eat it!

SW style fish and chips with beans yummmmmmmmm :)

Not a massive savings but McCain's rustic chips are 2 bags for £3 in asda, I stocked up as my whole family like them :)

Potato pancake with bacon, beans, mushrooms and a cuppa :) all free and yummy!!!

I'd agree with that advice, I am really struggling this week with kids home eating crisps, choc and God knows what else, have counted everything just out of interest and I have had on average 24 syns a day :(

The slimbos look like Warburton thins, but thins are only brown not wholemeal so you can't use them as a HEXB :(

Roast chicken, new potato's and salad, as the sun is shining I feel all summery! :)

After being stuck at 14st 1/0/13st13 at what seems like forever I am now firmly in the 13's so off to join the next group, good luck to everyone :)

Thanks for that peeps, I had a look and I can't believe what some people have lol some sounds delish some not so much, problem is I'm not much of a breakfast eater and I only have time for something quick before work so cereal it is! 35g of fruit and fibre I think....just need to go shopping...

Hi everyone, getting a bit bored of porridge, what other nice cereals can you have as a HEXB?? I'm sure I used to have 28g of mini honey nut shredded wheat?? Or raisin wheat?? Something like that? :)

Hi peeps, well another day 1 for me today, have rethought my food plan and have had the following (please feel free to comment). Breakfast- 35g porridge HEXB with milk HEXA from allowance ( half milk half water) and 1 tsp golden syrup (1) and a nectarine plus a cup of tea 1 tsp sugar (1)...

Ooh thanks for that ouch!! The meatball ones not too bad but the others are a bit much! Maybe I'll get 3 meatballs and freeze! :)

Bump, sorry going shopping soon and wanted to try some, I think the spaghetti and meatball one would be ok, but wondered about the chicken tikka and the fish with mash looked good too :)

Chicken ham and mushroom pie mmmmm sounds good, how do you make it? :)

I have lost and gained the same 1 lb for the last 3 weeks! Just can't seem to focus at the moment, oh well back to the drawing board today, I'm off work so I'm going to sit down with a piece of paper and pen and write down some meal ideas as I always get stuck in a rut then get bored......and...

Does anyone have a list of syns values for these meals? They are on offer at the moment 3 for £10 and some look like they would be sw friendly but it's difficult to be sure?? Thanks in advance :)

Ooh not as bad as I thought, thank you for the info, had them in the freezer and didn't want to waste! :)

Anyone know the syns for the above?? Thanks in advance :) Sent from my GT-N7000 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ooh brilliant thanks, it does taste sweet so I didn't think it would be free, but 1 syn is fine!

Morning peeps I restarted yesterday. Had a good day I'm logging my food on the calorie counter app just because I find it easier than writing stuff down! But I'm noting the syns at the bottom :)

It has no nutritional values on the jar at all, will check the make. It's lovely stirred into plain yog, avoids the artificial sweetener used in diet yogs which I can't stand the taste of!

Hi everyone, does anyone know if vanilla bean paste has any syns in it??

Hi everyone, kind of starting again today after a long break, in the time i've been 'off plan' i've actually managed to pretty much maintain, which i'm really pleased about as I didn't want to start again at 15st 7lbs eeek. So I weighed this morning at 14st 1.5lbs and i'm aiming to lose 7lbs in...

2lb off this week so 14st 3lb now, hopefully 13st something soon? :) Sent from my GT-N7000 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Morning all, another day 1 for me today, have had the last week off from work and OMG thankgod I'm not off work all the time, could not stop picking at rubbish, did have some on plan meals but not very many, any way back to work this morning and have lots of fruit packed and a healthy roll for...

Right back on sw wagon today have been waking up with a terrible tummy ache the last few days when I've been eating rubbish, bacon and mozzarella omelette this morning and nice chicken salad roll planned for lunch with lots of fruit :)

Afternoon, well 1.5 on this week but to be honest I can't believe it's not more considering! But son's family party today and then back on 100% on Monday! Got a fridge full of fruit with my name on it :)

It's all those little good times that add up to good losses, well done for being strong :)

Another so so day for me today, had big birthday meal last night for my son with my parents and ate... Omg actually I don't want to think about it then did well today until dinner where afterwards I was attacked by some choc peanuts and a bag of hula hoops :eek:

Oh the shame...Lol I had a free breakfast, no lunch and then......party food got the better of me :rolleyes: was sitting here working out roughly what I had but I've given up.... drawing that line again, but going out for dinner tomorrow, then birthday tea Sat then a 2nd birthday party for my...

That's like me I'm so close to 13 something but this week has fallen apart somewhat! Oh well back on it today and hopefully 13st something by 1st August?? :)

Lunch was good but omg had no idea quite how HOT AND SPICY the chicken would be jeeez!!! Making my boys birthday cake now, huge slab of choc sponge in the oven smells good :(

Well done Tilly, I may join you on the 5:2 when I plateau, doing ok so far today, had a ham, mushroom and cheese omelette for breakfast with a coffee and then for lunch I have a wholemeal roll with the Asda frozen bbq range hot and spicy chicken fillet, which is free and lots of salad and for...

Right new day today and I'm off work which makes it easier hopefully some kind person will have eaten all the nibbles by the time I get back to work on Thursday :) going to be ultra good today and have no more than 10 syns! Maybe even less??

I've got access to the app again now as my friend has gone.e back to sw but I can't see it on there??

Beautiful punnet of raspberries today in lidl for £1

Ohhhhh :mad: I'm so annoyed with myself just can't seem to get back on sw since my pizza night on Friday! Had too many syns on Sat and was doing ok Sun then gave into pudding and then today was doing ok until the left over nibbles from Fri appeared at work and I was weak :banghead: grrrr need...

Toasted cheese, red onion and tomato sandwich :)

That dream sounds amazing lol I also dreamt about eating last night, always going to be a foodie :)

I actually weighed Friday this week as had a night out and was not able to eat on plan at all!! 2lbs for me this week which makes me 1st 1lb loss since beginning! :D

Hiya, wasn't on much yesterday as had a works night out, the only thing on the menu was pizza and chips with dips! So I decided to weigh 2 days early and then hopefully I would lose anything I gained?!? Anyway 2lbs gone! so that's my first stone said goodbye to, never want to see it again...

I feel really pleased and had a world night out tonight with naughty food so was like a little 1 stone celebration, back on it in the morning and having a nice long walk and swim tomorrow :D

So pleased, weighed in this morning, 2lbs gone now 14st 0lbs and wearing trousers out tonight that haven't fit me in 2 years!!!!! :D

Oooh thanks so much, I told my hubby we're having a treat on Sat night and having a kebab lol he thinks I mean a take away :) I'm going to marinade some chicken for my son and put it on skewers as he doesn't like lamb, and than fake diner for us :)

Hi everyone, tried the new Warburton escapes today, like little triangles of baked pitta bread, salt and vinegar, 5 syns for a 25g bag, they were lovely :)

Does anyone have the sw doner kebab recipe to hand, I've finally found lean lamb mince!!:)

All sounds delicious :)

I think you just have to keep plugging away but I agree this weather actually isn't helping, I'm dreaming of the lollies in the freezer at the moment, problem is I had some picnic nibbles earlier in the day!! Oh well tomorrow is another day :rolleyes:

Evening all, it was my son's sports day today and I am afraid I succumbed to some picnic nibbles, but have done some just dance and Wii fit this evening to try and minimise damage lol back on it 100% tomorrow, work days are so much easier :)

Got bbq tonight, burgers, hot buttered 'butter buds' new pots, hm coleslaw, big flat bbq mushrooms and salad.

I would like recipes for all that! Sounds delicious :)

Book marking this!! I love this dish :)

I like the 'what's for breakfast/dinner/tea' threads and also there is one called 'your number 1 favorite recipe' which has got some great food ideas on it... I like it as I am the only one to do dinner and I'm always expected to come up with something and sometimes I get bored of thinking lol :)

Wholemeal roll with salad mayo and smoked ham and fruit

Had half a jacket with my hubby as only 1 potato left lol bbq chicken, half a pack of Mexican rice and salad,was yum :)

I've been thinking about having a week of juicing after watching that program on the tv about that aussie guy. Just to see what would happen?! :)

Hi everyone, welcome new peeps! Hope you all had a good day, was super hot! I finally got round to looking in the upstairs cupboard at work as I thought there may be some old uniform in there as mine is falling off me! And I found a size 16 dress and I could get it done up... now not saying I...

Well done!!!!!! :)

Eggs on toast and lots of fruit!!! :D

Another 1lb off for me this week which I am more than happy with. 13lbs off so far altogether and that is 1/3rd of my overall target done, really proud of myself and still feel really focused which I don't think I have ever been 6 weeks in before! :)

Hiya, thanks everyone I don't get much congratulations from anyone else so the support on here means alot!! I had the bbq today and it was actually ok, I had a burger in a white bun.... as that's all there was. I didn't have a sausage as that would have meant another bun and i'm not a sausage...

Well I know this won't work for everyone but I have had on average 20 syns a day last week some days it was 8 a couple of days was 30+ which sounds crazy but it wasn't on anything really unhealthy if that makes any sense at all?!? It was an extra heb or hea like a cereal bar there was a bit of...

Thankyou, fyi you saying about having more syns.....my syns this week have averaged out to over what I should have had but I have still somehow lost! yet when I've done sw previously and tried to keep syns really low I haven't always lost..... strange but I would try eating them all and see how...

2 bacon, 1 egg, mushrooms and 2 pork patties made with extra lean pork mince, red onion and chipotle Tabasco sauce! :)

Another 1lb loss for me this week and I am very happy with that as was put in a few difficult situations this week and with the exception of yesterday I was good and made some tough decisions so it must have paid off in the end... interestingly when I added up my weekly syns it was exactly the...

Omg!!!!!! I lost 1lb!!! Really didn't expect that as it's been a tougher week but I tried to make the right choices although yesterday was a blip but I am so happy with 1 lb as I was totally expecting 1 or 2 on :D

Oh dear I've been a naughty girl today!!! The girls at work got hot cheese straws from the bakers and I accidentally crammed one in my mouth lol that was followed by and afternoon tea and a chocolate cupcake from Gregg's. I also have a bbq tomorrow and I know there isn't going to be one healthy...

I had pan fried salmon fillet in fresh lemon juice and salad

Had a Coleman's cook in a bag meal Cajun chicken with rice was nice but family didn't like it!!

I would love to get a treadmill might keep an eye out on eBay as mega expensive new, only problem is, would it fit in the car??

My boss bought a huge bag of crisps mmm ready salted and I was halfway through my roll and I just really wanted to try one omg I could have finished the pack but I thought the old me would have done that but the new me enjoyed one and carried on with the salad and chicken roll which was delish! :)

Oh that's not too bad, you'll have it off in no time xx

I'm not sure that it being summer and hot is great for healthy eating sometimes as it makes you feel relaxed and dream of Mr whippy's and ice cold cider.... or is that just me :) I love the summer so much but I actually find it easier to be good in the winter when I can eat buckets of veggy soup...

Well done!! I need 2lbs more for my 1st stone, don't think I'll do it this week as I've been heavy on the carbs, need to look at portion size I think!! :)

Do you think there are any syns in 1 crisp lol :)

Well done grannie!! Congratulations on another loss. Lou, tilly and sweetie just draw the line and move on, no point dwelling on what might have been it's time to pull it all together and start again tomorrow... YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! Welcome new peeps ask if you need anything or just ramble on...

I like the Sainsbury sweet and salt popcorn 6 pk but a bit higher at 4.5 syns :)

It's so hot again today!! Actually looking forward to getting to work and putting on the air con! Good luck for today everyone :)

Ooh I love kallo had forgotten about them! The dark chocolate ones are lovely (3) or the milk choc (2.5) used to have them when I was on sw before. :)

:D :D yes we will!!!!!

Don't be scared you'll be fine ask any questions if you need any help :)

That's so funny when mine is up I feel it in my ears and the top of my head, and I feel really snappy and frustrated about stupid things and bad tempered, which is not like me at all, those were the first symptoms I noticed, then I went on to migraines, nose bleeds, panic attacks, dizzy...

1.5 per slice hun :)

Aldi chicken wrapped in bacon with cheese, golden veg rice, new pots with butter buds, salad and 1 tbsp pizza express light house dressing, yummy!!

220/110 wowzer!! How did you feel then? Did you have any lightheadedness or have any dizzy spells? I have a few weird problems that so far no Dr has been able to solve, that's why I'm trying to lose weight really as being fat I just don't think they are taking me seriously!! :(

Egg mayo on Aldi wholemeal sub roll with tomato, lettuce and sweet chilli special k cracker crisps

Omg I know that look lol! Some people just have high blood pressure no matter what they weigh but I know mine has got worse since I have been heavier.. which is really 7/8 years I'm just hoping no damage has been done in that time although I had to have an echocardiogram last year and the lady...

Ooh where's that? I went to one years ago in n.Wales

Good luck for this week :)

Special k dark choc chewy delight bar and a glass of water omg it is soooo hot!!!

Well done for resisting the naughty bits, I just have to keep reminding myself that cake, crisps and mcflurries will still be around next year but I might not be if I carry on eating crap the way I have been, I do NOT want to be 34 and on blood pressure tablets!!! :eek:

Hiya, be careful with lurpak lighter 1.5 syns a teaspoon which can add up quickly, and half spoon sugar is only 0.5 syns a teaspoon, welcome and good luck :)

Welcome, some of us have access to the online calculator so feel free to ask for syn values :)

It's difficult when you've got things planned isn't it! I have a birthday party next weekend and I know it's just going to be a buffet nightmare, I'm just going to have to try and make good choices, have a nice big free meal before I go so I'm not too tempted to pick and hope for the best :rolleyes:

Evening all, well my lovely mother who knows full well I'm doing sw and is usually pretty supportive decided to cook pizza, garlic bread and hot buttered new pots today for lunch! I had to eat some of it or she'd have been upset but I really didn't want it, didn't enjoy it either and felt quite...

I'd like to lost another 1lb or 2 this week although after today disaster who knows, my lovely mother who knows full well I'm doing sw and is usually pretty supportive decided to cook pizza, garlic bread and hot buttered new pots today for lunch! I had to eat some of it or she'd have been upset...

Hi everyone hope you've all had a lovely day in the sun! I had a nice long walk with my hubby and son and then we spent some time on the beach! We had a picnic so I bought the usual stuff but I resisted the pork pies and sausage rolls, then they had ice cream and I had a nectarine! I have gone...

Hm burgers, McCain's rustic chips, hm coleslaw, salad and 1 bun split between the 2 burgers with a large flat mushroom top :)

Thanks Jenny :) Omg just had a shock, we are going out for a picnic and a nice long walk tomorrow and we normally stop off for an ice cream on the way home... 20 syns for a flake mcflurry?!?!?!? What on earth do they put in it!!??!! :eek:

Had a sneaky weigh today as I always put on when I'm off the weekend but will also weigh Sunday as normal as I'm a bit of an obsessive weighed anyway, lost 2.5lbs this week so down to 14st 3lb!! That's lower than I've been in a couple of years so very happy, I've got the 13's in my sight and I'm...

Pork loin chops, with new pots, carrots, cabbage and broccoli... I am syning some gravy made with the juices yummmmm

Oh I hate it when that happens! :(

Sticky Bbq chicken with jacket, spicy rice and corn. Last night had the Aldi's chicken breast with bacon and cheese well worth 1 syn, it's delicious!!!

Don't worry Chloe just try to be on plan as much as possible this week and weigh next week if you think it will really affect you. Don't try and have no syns to try and make up for it, been there and done that before and you never end up sticking to it if you deprive yourself completely! Good...

Omg that is so me!! I like the summer and summer fruits and getting out in the fresh air and then in the winter it's hot water bottles, duvet and sitting in front of the tv with a big bag of munchies :D

Wow that's a weight I can only dream of right now, well done :)

Congratulations :)

Fish fingers, McCain's rustic chips and beans

Oh that's not bad then, when I was on sw before, years ago now, I got down to 12st 4lbs and I'm sure I was in a 14 then however have had baby since so my belly is bigger...read saggy lol that's an achievable weight for me, I'm ignoring the fact medical health says otherwise as I'm never going to...

I had fried egg on toast with ketchup and 2 rashers of bacon with a coffee

I'm not really aiming for a particular weight really, I would love to be a size 14 prob would always be bigger on top due to boobies but size 14 jeans would be fab, I'm only 5ft though so no idea what weight that would be?? Just going to keep chipping away at it until I get there even if it...

Wow an amazing difference how is that only 2st looks way more, makes me excited for when I lost that much, thankyou for sharing xxx :)

Sounds lovely how do you make the pie??

Please don't hate yourself, is there any reason you have put on? How could you change those things for the next week? If you haven't stuck to plan try to identify what you did and why, and try and think how you could have overcome the situation. I was really wanting something naughty last night...

Put 1lb on this week but not too bothered as I have been doing loads of exercise which I never normally do and I know I have stuck to plan so hopefully will lose it next week! :)

Birds eye reggae reggae chicken with McCain's jacket potato and pizza express light house dressing and uncle Ben's golden veg rice

I know it's hard but try to rise above it? Maybe their jealous that you are showing will power about something important in your life when many other people often feel out of control? We're all on here together helping each other and I find this website so useful, I've kept it all a secret from...

Thanks for that picked some salt and vinegar ones up today yummy :)

Well done 6.5lbs will come off in no time :)

I'm sure you'll manage it what a great goal to work for!

A 4km walk this morning and later on day 6 of the squat challenge, actually starting to feel quite fit... ish. Feel very tired now though and the weather isn't helping! Off out for lunch soon :)

Ooh congratulations, a wedding, how lovely, best of luck. If I ever lose a ton of weight I'd love to renew my vows in a big meringue dress lol I wasn't able to have one as I got married abroad and it just wouldn't have made it on the flight! :)

Know what you mean I'm trying to be really good atm but have my son's birthday party coming up and then holiday but don't want to pile on the pounds as then it's Xmas and I have a special little dress in mind as a surprise to my work colleagues lol as I always wear black and this one is bright...

Pork loin chop, new potatoes, veg, mushrooms and gravy

Just did 30 mins just dance on the Wii, omg I am so uncoordinated lol, but it got me out of breath and red in the face so I think mission accomplished :)

Oh god not such a great day today, it was a birthday at work and I was force fed a slice of cake lol although as I made it, it would have been a shame if I didn't taste it and it was soooo good, 3 weeks without sugar, so it tasted so good! Only problem is it's lying like a rock in my tummy now...

Mushroom and cheese omelette with the rosemary free sausages hope they're nice!

I have been thinking about having one fitted but my friend had told me she gained 7 lbs when she first had her's so I thought I would wait til I'm a bit nearer target before I go in for one, my doc is keen as I've been on the pill for years and my blood pressure is sometimes a bit high...
