So my new job actually requires me to pretty busy - lots of travelling around and dirty rail cabins and dusty quarries. I'm enjoying it though so that's the most important thing - just now that it's a managerial role I guess u feel I've got to act more grown up - so I'm trying to find the right...

-6lb?!? Well done you!!!

Ooooo will have to try that! I think I left mine too long!

So today consisted of 6 hours in the car - walking round in the rain in head to toe bright orange hi vis - and a curry. https://instagram.com/p/BD32jw3xGmd/ Breakfast: tangerine, coffee Lunch: coffee and some of the leftover pasta from last night (1) Dinner: went for a curry and tried to...

Aww thank you!

Hello lovely! I'm back too - lets do this!! Xx

Hello my lovely I'm here! I've been stuffing my face during the "moving period" - so moving period actually only lasted a day or two move wise (getting unpacked and settled etc) but moving period eating wise lasted until last Wednesday - oops! So I did just write a long a$$ response until I...

Hmmm I posted pictures of myhair and make up trial last night but they seem to have dissapeared! I was really pleased with it (sorry for the self indulgent pictures haha!) So I was back on plan yesterday - but I've already had a cupcake this morning and I plan to eat more. It's my last...

Don't worry too much - I've already had a cupcake - and plan to have more - haha!

Yeah! *looks away awkwardly....* Well done on another amazing loss too :)

Managed to stay on plan yesterday – and got quite a bit of cleaning done. Started to pack the cupboards up and the annoying little bits – you really don’t realise how much sh!t you accumulate until you have to pack it all. Quite glad my OH is in Leicester though (leaving me to pack everything –...

I'm trying I'm trying! First day back on plan - we can do this!!

Agree with @Jhsax - fajitas and mojitos - can I come over for dinner please??

I've never tried scan bran - is it like ryvita? If so then I'd definitely be avoiding it like the plague - my stomach made all sorts of awkward noises which made people steer well clear of me. Haha!

Oh @Holidaygirl10 you are definitely not in the naughty corner - sounds like you've been trying very hard so that gain isn't fair at all! Big weird internet hugs!! Jammy dodgers ok??

So as predicted last night was an epic fail. I scoffed my face with loads of Chinese, cake and chocolate – and I loved every minute of it hahaha! Trying to be back on plan today – we shall see. I’m feeling positive about it today….

Haha we can sit in the naughty corner together!!

Glad to know it isn't just me - I've not just fallen off the wagon - I've taken a bl00dy great big leap off it and am being dragged behind it.. hahaha!

Well done on all your fab losses - you're all showing me up haha!

Mmmmm After 8's.... Nom. Yeah when I used to weigh in in the AM I used to avoid big stodgy teas like pasta as I tended to see not as good a loss if I scoffed the night before. Maybe have a big meal but lighter on the carbs side... Mmmm Creme Egg.... Damn you LTL!!!

Wow - a sled dog tours business that sounds amazing! Broken hip doesn't sound too good though... ouch. I'd love to go back and do a degree - fluffed it up royally when I was in uni last time. History and Theology sounds really interesting

I've lost 5.5 stone so far and still have a bit to go until target. The best advise I can give is focus on the small goals - like each stone and half stone lost - before you know it they add up to larger numbers very quickly!

*Emerges from under binge eating rock* Yeah so Friday was off plan As was Saturday And Sunday And yesterday Friday I was travelling up to Doncaster with work – which I find being a nightmare being on plan (please take this as my excuse for being lazy and not bothering to prep). As I was...

Haha I'm glad you think I'm funny rather than a bit of a weirdo...!! Properly moving up this weekend - really excited now and looking forward to living in one place!

Hey lovely! so glad you had an amazing time - soooo jealous! And how on earth did you manage to maintain - that's fab!! I'm sure you will see a loss next week - fingers crossed for you xx

Sorry to hear that you had some bad news - but well done on that amazing loss and your award!! Good idea with the photos - I wish I had documented my journy so far more!

Well done for getting back on it - hope you're feeling better!

Well done for staying on plan hun - sounds like you had a super hectic weekend! Cars are a bl00dy nightmare. I've had issues with mine this weekend too... eurgh....

Hey all! So I'm being naughty and hiding from the scales this week as I was extremely naughty over the weekend AGAIN ! @Sazmajig can you grey out week 3 for me hun and I'll join in again next week? xxx

I really need some of your motivation - definitely suffering with post binge sluggish-ness. Hope your little one is feeling better! xx

Early start tomorrow so thought I'd update now Breakfast: orange and coffee (0.5) Lunch: pasta, Thai cod (1.5) lighter than light mayo (0.5) Dinner: bisto cauliflower cheese (1.5) with added cheese (hexa) sugar snap peas and quorn beef steaks (1 - I think!) Syns: 5 Up to Doncaster...

Definitely! Otherwise I have nothing else to distract me from work.... xx

@Ellie Hickman Well done on getting greatest loser - thant's amazing!!

Wow !! That's amazing!! Maybe stay on them for a few weeks as it couldjust be they're a shock to your system hence the massive loss? x

Hey lovely! Here to sub :) Would be good to get the forum busy again as it's sooo quiet! xx

Nah I'm a bit lazy really and tend to just make up the sauce and then whack in any veggies and quorn that I have in the fridge! Used "meat"balls once though and it did look a bit "vom" like

Off plan AGAIN last night – but hey, I’ve come to the conclusion that the next week or so is going to be difficult with everything going on. Yeah, I’m totally making excuses but will be on plan where I can, but at the same time not lose sleep and be racked with guilt if I have the odd meal here...

I'm totally making excuses but I've figured it's going to be a bit more difficult than usual to stick to plan over the next week or so. With moving, living between Cardiff and Leicester and keeping myself busy to avoid missing my OH, sometimes a quick unhealthy meal is going to be more appealing...

You're doing fantasticly - I've got every respect for you as it can't be easy losing weight and sticking to plan and then having the issue with your waist. Before you know it you'll be picking up your old sizes and they'll be hanging off you. Yeah I think it's one of those odd things like if...

Oh love - anxiety is a b!tch. At least you are half on plan - make sure you're in the right place before even worrying about SW xx

Mayflower curry is my favvvvvveeeeeeeee!

It’s so difficult as there is so much focus on your weight when you are losing it – I think it can almost make you focus on your body more so than when you are bigger. Weight loss is a rollercoaster journey and it’ll all settle into place eventually hun – honestly I think even if we were all...

Probably a good idea - then you will have proof as to whether it's working or not and if not get the doctors to maybe look at prescribing something else?

Omg amazing!!! Well done!

Back on plan yesterday but am starting to get back into nasty old habits of starving and binging so need to be careful. Breakfast: Orange and coffee (0.5) Lunch: Orange and French fries (4.5) Dinner: Left over veggie spag bol with a MOUNTAIN of pasta and 40g RF cheese (HexA) Then I...

^^ This 100%. Self fulfilling prophecy. I agree – I don’t think I’ll ever class myself as “slim” – more than anything I think it’s because it’s something I’ve always aspired to be, I’m used to it being just that – an aspiration. Funny how these things affect us. Also agree on how little...

I know exactly what you mean about no storage - our landlord thought shelves were a good idea instead of cupboards. Does the job but loks messy. I got far too excited about how many cupboards my new kitchen has (easily pleased!!)

Well done missy! Well deserved!!! xx

Fingers crossed your tablets help - are you goiung to start measuring weekly?

Well I'm rooting for you! I feel your pain - still got 9 days left and I'm already of the "I'm finishing so can't be assed" mindset

So as previously mentioned – I fit into my wedding dress – YEY! Now don’t get me wrong, I can still do with losing more weight to look how I want to look in it (including last nights gain I’ve got to lose 17lbs by beginning of June in order to leave enough time for alterations) but the modesty...

Fingers crossed for WI! Make sure you let us know how you get on. Surely you're in the running for greatest loser?? Best of luck to your friend too! xx

Sounds like it was a pretty active hen do so hopefully you'll be ok for Friday - well done for getting back on plan. First day is always the hardest!

Your pudding has just reminded me of one thing I left off my binge list - a whole pack of golden oreos (oops!) Have you tried them? They're literally just expensive circle custard creams! Rip off!

so a totally deserved 2lb gain - however i tried my wedding dress on last night (after buying one two sizes too small) and i FINALLY fit into it EEEEEEEK!!!!

A totally deserved 2lb on - however I had a huge non scale victory last night.... MY WEDDING DRESS FINALLY FITS Or I finally fit into my wedding dress.... But whichever way you look at it.... YAY!

So I'm literally up to my neck in denial at the moment (my head is submerged by false hope) that I'll have a STS at the very least later. I think this is the problem when you see losses after the odd couple of cheats - you get lulled into a false sense of security that you can still scoff and...

Aldi and Lidl are my favourite shops EVER! Had to shop in Tesoc extra this weekend for OH in the new house and I cringed when the bill came to £84 for a teeny trolley full! I love Pitch Perfect - Rebel Wilson is brilliant. Glad your take away was nice – we had an (off plan) curry on Saturday...

Ahhh atleast you have another car for the time being - stilll a pain in the butt though!

Yeah you are right - I'm just concerned it won't be a rare event as I'm back up there this weekend but I'm the only one that can determine what goes in my gob haha!

Dreading WI tonight after a VERY off plan weekend - wish me luck.

How was your weekend hun?

Hey lovely - need to see some clothes pictures please!! I still owe you a new hair pic too haha! What did you get up to over the weekend? xx

Just catching up - that sucks about your car! £1000 - that's a crazy amount - I'm in the wrong proffession! Not sure I'd make a good mechanic mind.... Hope you had a lovely Mother's day

Oh dear - so this weekend went to pot when it came to being on plan. Friday night's dinner consisted of veggie spag bol with a heap of pasta and 50g RF mozzerella (5 syns) However, we had to move my OH up to Leicester this weekend and was TOTALLY off plan and to shame myself I'm going to list...

So worked from home today trying to get stuff ready for tomorrow. Brunch: omelette with peppers cheese (hexa) and low fat quorn sausages Got some veggie spag Bol on the go now so will update later with syns!

Haha will pop one on tomorrow when I have make up on! Xx

High Syn day yesterday but still on plan... Breakfast: Orange and Coffee (0.5) Lunch: Tesco semi dried tomato and feta pasta (5.5) and french fries (4.5) and orange Coffee (0.5) Dinner: Creamy cajun quorn meatballs (hexA) with loads of speed food packed in! Syns: 11

Turns out my OH completely misunderstood - luckily we don't have to pay the £200! They're checking that the landlord is happy for us to move in on Saturday so fingers toes and everything else crossed!! I'm not sure about my hair though - I'm not sure if it's a bit too bleached.... :/

pringles are 100% lethal - I can easily polish of a tube in one sitting! curry looks lush - mine never end up looking that good x

Eurgh. Annoying day today. My phone screen has decided to go bright red and stop working and the estate agents have come back and said that my references have come back fine but OH's new work won't give him a reference until Monday - so the estate agents want £200 to change the tenancy to my...

What an ass! Nice compliment though haha!

I've never tried turnip - will have to give them a go. Fishcakes sound good too - really need to get some new recipes as my food is getting so boring!

Flipping heck!! Families ey? More hassle than they're worth sometimes!

Oooo will have to give them a try!

Congratulations lovely - all the best xx

Back on plan (ish) yesterday.. Breakfast: Orange and Coffee (0.5) Lunch: Asda Thai Chilli Cod (1.5) mixed with pasta, mayo (0.5) and onions and peppers roasyted in garlic and chilli frylight. Orange. Dinner: Had a last minute invite out to dinner with my parents, my brother and his...

Thanks @B.M. - eating no carbs for dinner tends to work for me - pretty boring but allows me to have a treat here and there. Think this approach may catch up with me next week! Well done @jilvis !!

Oooo those mini hsah brown waffles look good! Where are they from?

@Munchkin_Em Thank you! YEah I know what you mean - going to TRY and be super good this week. Would love to see the 10's next week!

3lb off for me - yay! Think it's a bit of a fluke as I haven't been 100% this week so think I might see a gain next week....

Try not to beat yourself up too much hun – it happens to all of us. Look at it this way, your weightloss on a graph is going to be up and down but overall it’s always heading downwards which is the most important thing. I think you should go to group tonight and weigh – it’s easier to hide away...

Thanks hun - things are better now with my bro's gf. We actually went to the escape room thing with them on Sunday (was a good way to break the ice as we had something to focus on! ) so onwards and upwards I guess! Yeah back on plan (she says whilst suffering a "curry hangover" from the...

Thanks love!

Dinner looks yum - I know what you mean about the lighter than light mayo. I'm finishing off what I have and trying a different one next time! Not nice!

Ok so scrap that - just weighed again (don't ask - I was showing OH that I'd lost weight) and the scales decided that I've actually now lost 3lbs! Weighed on different floors 3 different times and it's definitely a 3lb loss! I'll take that!

- 2lb! No idea how that happened. So lost last weeks gain and another pound. Think I'm coming down with something - my throat is feeling super swollen and my head feels fuzzy. Blurgh!

Hi hun - I'd love to join in - need to lose 5 to get me into the next stone bracket! So will put mine as 5lbs :) xx

Hi hun - here to sub! x

Well done on the loss - feeling better today?

Another random pic from my life - my Mum chose her Mother of the Bride outfit on Saturday! In other news I'm dreading WI later - praying for a STS at most - eek!

Back on track and had a lovely day. Cleaned the flat this morning then went to a local handmade market. Finished off the day with another escape room - this one was easier than last week and we managed to escape with 3 minutes to go! Food; Breakfast: scrambled egg with low fat quorn sausages...

So yesterday ended up being a write off. Going to try and be quite active today to do some damage limitation

Breakfast We are doing a pre-move carboot and I'm freezing!

I really need to get better at taking photos of my food - always looks like slop lol! Breakfast: orange and coffee (0.5) Lunch: wholemeal roll (hexb) with quark, tomato chutney and low fat quorn sausages. An orange and aldi cheese curls (3) Dinner: tofu curry - never used tofu before but...

Got to say I saw our dinner on IG - it did look lush!! Maybe go back to the doc about your cramps? How did you get on in WI - was it as bad as you thought? xx

Yum food day today Breakfast: orange & coffee (0.5) Lunch: wholemeal roll (hexb), quark, with pepper roasted in garlic and chilli frylight and a Thai sweet chilli cod fillet (1.5) orange, aldi cheese curls (3) Dinner: smokey bean chilli with 65g light mozzarella (hexa) Syns: 5

That list sounds like my usual haul on a binge day hahaha! It could have been much worse - and it doesn't help that you're feeling crap too! Atleast you've admitted what you ate - I tend to hide offline when I've scoffed.... As soon as you have a few days back on track I'm sure you'll find it...

Honestly shes a nightmare - shes only 2 years younger than me but about 10 years younger than me mentally! My bro just rang me and basically said she sees what she did to upset me but I still upset her... *bangs head against wall* So we have "agreed to disagree". meh. still hate her. So mature...

So my brother came over last night to discuss everything - to be honest it wound me up more as his GF thinks she has done nothing wrong and that she is the victim. I explained that her lack of empathy for anyone elses situation or view point is coming across as selfish. In fairness my brother...

WHoop Whoop!!! Amazing news on your award well done! You're sooo close to target now! How exciting (I'm very jealous!) Think I'm going to follow suit and plan my meals - hopefully kick my butt into gear

So I binged - AGAIN Went out for dinner last night with my parents (last minute unplaned) - more veggie lasagne with chips, ealr grey creme brulee and a glass of rose. OOPS. Back on it today (again). So for those who have read my previous ramblings will know that a few weeks ago I had a...

Yeah - I'm ok with a 1lb loss - hoping to get 2lb off this week! Yeah I'm super nervous - I love my job and really get on with the people but it's time for a change. Only a month so not long to go at all! Eeek!

9s by June is definitely doable!! Well done on the loss!!

That approach you to drive me nuts - thats why I stopped going to group. I found it quite artificial - hopefully she will get in the swing of it and find her own style!

Food looks good!! What about beans on wholemeal toast?

Oooo food loooks really good! Yeah tried Asda but no luck - I'm going to search the whole of South Wales for them! Glad your feeling better xx

Ok so pasta, pesto, cheese, chips, crisps - oops!

+ 1lb - can totally live with that. Going to have a plate full of pasta tonight and back to carbless dinners tomorrow!

That's it - notice handed in. Last day 22nd March. wow I'm nervous!

Wow!! How amazing - whereabouts in America are you going? It’d be rude not to try all the food out there – portions are big and the food is good – but just make the most of it and enjoy yourself! I’m sure you will have done enough damage limitation earlier in the week in order to counteract the...

Thanks hun! Feeling ok - just nervous about later. Yes you definitely have to do it - so much fun! Fingers crossed for the both of us - will pop over to your diary and say hi now :) xxx

Have FINALLY just had it through on email - WHOOP!

Well done for staying on track hun!! Mmmm curly fries......! Fingers crossed for the 5 stone!!

Wow you are super prepped for this week! That honey and garlic stirfry sounds lush !! Right off last night - start again today. Doesn't soundliek you were too bad in the grand scheme of things anyway!

Was so gutted - went to the biggest Tesco I know a=d couldn't find them! So am now on the hunt haha! How was your weekend? Hope you're feeling better xx

Back on track yesterday – woke up feeling pretty pants so hd to waste a syn on lemsip – blurgh. But went to the new “City Maze” in Cardiff last night – was so much fun and definitely recommend doing it if you have one near you. You basically get locked in a room and have an hour to solve the...

I know - in fairness the food was actually good for once - in all honesty though I couldhave done without the curry in the night as I was super stuffed from the lumch still but was of the mentality of "let's just rioght the whole day off and scoff as much as poss!" I threw the leftovers away the...

Thanks :)

So this sums up Friday night Yes, that would be me in McDonald's with a receipt full of food (just for me) after an alcohol fuelled night out. Had every intention of getting back on track yesterday - even had low fat quorn sausage sandwich in a wholemeal thin with an orange for breakfast...

Oh I did - and the take away monster, and the McDonald's monster and the lasagne monster oooooops!

This sums up today

That's strong will power going out and sticking to plan - I always end up going off track as I begrudge paying £4 - £5 for a jacket potato and beans, or get bored of tomato pasta! Eurgh! I've got a hen do tonight - syns galore. Then going up to the Midlands to view more houses then helping my...

Better than 1 small wholemeal roll though - I'm literally going to Tesco at lunch to hunt these out (should probably reassess my priorities about how excited I am haha)

Awww bless your other half! Mine asked if we could get a take away - NOOOO I NEED TO FIT INTO MY WEDDING DRESS - may get that tattooed on my forehead. I quite fancy fajitas now mmm will put that on the list for this weekend

Haha glad it's not just me! He's a lazy *insert inappropriate word here*. Love him to death but I swear I'm his Mother rather than his fiance sometimes! Can't live with them can't live without them - and they definitely can't live without us haha!

Hmm a bit "meh" to be honest - but I don't think my bake had enough flavour in it. Will try that baked kale!

OMG no way!!! I am far too excited about this!! Will go on the hunt today!

Omg those rolls look lush - which ones are they? Need me some of these!!

Totally jinxed myself saying I'm not peeing as much - drank about 2.5L of water today and practically lived in the toilet. STILL no sign of my new contract for my new job - gettin super frustrated now as even my OH's contract for his new job has come through!! Going to give them a call...

Wow just read your diary - how amazing!! You've done fantastically well. Here to sub and watch you lose more and more!! x

That's a really good idea - I always have a little bit of meals left but it ends up going in the bin as its never really enough for leftovers. Good for when I'm skint at the end of the month too!

Food today Breakfast: orange and coffee (0.5) Lunch: same as yesterday sarnie wise (hexb) with an orange and aldi monster munch (4.5) Dinner; quorn and lentil bolognaise with no spaghetti topped with 40g RF cheddar (hexa) Syns: 5 In other news my ear is starting to look like a cauliflower...

Ooo I never thought about freezing mayflower curry! Do you just make up a portion with chicken / veg etc and freeze it?

Back on track yesterday - think my body may be getting used to drinking all this water now - I'm peeing a little less. However TOTM is decided to rear its ugly head - no idea why though as I've carried over my pill - nasty mother nature!! Anyway - back onto food rather than my ovaries...

Thanks hun! 17lbs feels doable now so am feeling more focused. Yeah I'm not too worried about being apart from him for a few weeks (love him dearly but I'm super independant) I just dread to think what he's oing to live off food wise (chippy everyday probably!) I'll go up there to meet him and...

Never really been a huge fish fan but I think that's more because I never eat it - will have to give it a try! xxx

So finally hit my 5 and a half stone!! Whoop!!! Need to find the sticker to update my sig…. Went out for my friend’s birthday last night and had a lovely night – haven’t seen her for years and it’s just like old times. But food wise I was soooo naughty oops!! Breakfast: 2 x oranges, 1...

Hey lovely! Well done for going back to group - I know that can't of been easy. But look at the plus side - you weren't in the 11's which is the one thing you were nervous about! Well done for not just writing off the time between now and holiday (which sounds like something I totally would...

Thanks beaut - and thanks so much for your supportive message about the anxiety too. Feeling much more positive today and like I can tackle the world - funny what a load of stodgy food and a good night sleep can do for you!

That's really nice of you - I'm sure it'll work out well for the both of you! You're so close to target now - you can do it :) I've never tried Sushi - might need to give it a go - where is the best place to go? xx

-2lb!! Which means 5.5 stone award!!! Whoooooop!!

Still a while to go but getting there slowly! https://www.minimins.com/threads/from-one-extreme-to-the-other-my-vegetarian-food-diary.328972/

Best of luck hun - fingers crossed for you. You're doing the right thing facing the scales xxx

Feeling really dubious about weigh in later – no reason in particular, just think my anxiety is playing up in general to be honest. This whole thing with the wedding and house move is stressing me out. Firstly, the move. So our dilemma is: My OH has got a job in Leicester (great news!)...

fit into my wedding dress....hopefully!!

How did you get on this weekend hun?

Hey lovely! Yay for the amazing loss – new you could pull it back!! Hope you had a fabby birthday! That totally sucks about James – could he looks at a case for unfair dismissal? It’s so difficult as my OH has the mentality that things will sort themselves out (read as me sorting it out) so when...

Oooo what is the 5 syns Thai red curry?? I wish there was a slimmers friendly place round by me - get sick of having tomato pasta or jacket potato everytime I go out!!

Food has been a bit all or nothing today... Orange for breakfast Napped most of the afternoon Then had a huge cooked dinner (not sure if the quorn is free or half syn each!) Lots of speed too! And a bit of poppadom (1) Syns: 2 May have some crisps too later! Hope you've all had a...

Been a bit rubbish today and not really had anywhere near as much speed as I should have. This whole house move is proving to be a lot more stressful than I initially thought and resulted in a huge argument with my mum. Hmmmm onto bigger and better things tomorrow!! Breakfast: an Alpen light...

Food today Breakfast: orange and coffee (0.5) Lunch: 2 low fat quorn sausages, aldi cheese curls (3) and an orange Another orange as a snack Dinner: leftover cheesey veg bake with leftover chilli (hexa) with 50g RF mozzarella (5) Syns: 8.5

I would totally eat a whole tin of baked beans!! Hope you're feeling a bit better - I had the bendryl all in one mdeicine when I last had a cold and it was brilliant (and I guzzled the bottle and I didn't gain!!) xxx

Yay for the loss!! Well done for all the body magic - hun. I've been so lazy this week oops!

My OH got the job!!! Whoooooop! But he starts on the 7th March - I still need to hand in my month's notice!! Argh!!!

Yeah - so true! It's all so exciting when you start driving and pass your test - now it's just a money guzzler! Eurgh!! xx

Just realised I didn't even post yesterday's food haha! So dinner was low fat quorn sausages, with a cheesey vegetable bake (cauliflower, broccoli, sugar snap peas, green beans, carrots, leeks) with a sauce made of quark, vegetable stock, mustard powder and two packs of Batchelors cheese and...

Loooong day - OH felt his interview went well so fingers crossed! I drove my dad's car up as my dad is still recovering from his foot op - bit scary driving an automatic Audi when I'm used to my manual fiesta! In other news my OH's credit score is better than he expected (both of ours are pretty...

Happy birfday for tomorraaaa!! Cakkkke Nom Nom Nom Nom! Hate it went food is a let down :( Oooo box swap sounds exciting! xx

AMAZING! That's a fab loss and so well deserved too! Your persistence paid off well done! As for your consultant – could you not go to one of her other groups or would your friend take offence? I know what you mean about the consultant / friend thing as I think I’d almost feel I could cheat a...

I think going back to group sounds like the right idea - I know what you mean about "failure" though , I either beat myself up about it and eat very little or go the exact opposite and get a take away and go off the rails. The good thing about group is that everyone is there to support you –...

Saw your photo on IG yesterday - you've done amazingly well. I find it's so rewarding when you see before and after photos - makes it seem more real. xx

So despite my breakdown I managed to stay on plan - yay! Breakfast: coffee in the car to keep me warm (hexA) Brunch: Orange Lunch: Wholemeal roll (hexB) with tomato chutney and quorn chicken, orange and aldi cheese curls (3) A fair few coffees throughout the day (HexA) Dinner...

Cars are so bl00dy expensive! Argh! xx

I was sat in the car with my hi vis and coffee to keep warm haha! But luckily they were only about 45 minutes before they got me and they took me to the garage - got a taxi to my Mum's and worked from hers. Just such a pain! Eurgh! xx

Haha! Apparently it was the ingnition coil? £140 later eurgh....! xx

Minis! I've broken down! I'm cold and sat here in my work hi vis jacket waiting (up to 90 minutes!!!) to be rescued by recovery.

Ok so I go carb-less most of last week and only lose a pound - an vaguely on plan with a fair few slips and manage to lose 2! Figure that one out?! Anyway - yay 2lb off!! Food today... Breakfast: orange and coffee (0.5) Lunch: skinny flat white from Costa (5) wholemeal roll (hexb) with...

How was the family party hun? xx

Ooooo food looks yum! And YAY for a girl – pink pink pink! Love a good car boot, I always see so many baby things at our local – most of which are in mint condition. I love getting stuff for the house down there too like pictures and vases etc. Stop getting on those scales missy – I’m going...

Pizzzzzzza - I totally had a pizza binge over the weekend too hahaha! I reckon you should be able to pull it back by Friday. Where is James taking you? Is there no way that you can have a "helathier" option? xx

Yesterday's house hunting was pretty good - think we are going to buy hopefully but still all up in the air at the moment. My OH has a job interview Thursday up there so I'm going to try and book it as leave so my mum can come up with us to look at houses after his interview. We shall see! Had...

Food today: Breakfast: orange x 2 and a tea (0.5) Lunch: wholemeal thin (hexb) with quorn chicken and tomato chutney, French fries (4) and an orange Dinner: veggie quorn chilli (no rice booooo) with onion, Spring onion, carrots, peppers and kidney beans topped with 40g RF cheese (hexa)...

Back on track yesterday and feeling slightly better - whoop! Went over to see my Grandparents which I always enjoy - they've agreed to loan us the money that we are short of for the wedding which is super sweet of them as I was starting to get really anxious about it. Up to Leicester tomorrow...

Wow wow wow!! Well done hun!! So chuffed for you - that's an amazing loss. So glad to hear that you're enjoying your new job - onwards and upwards (and downwards on the scales!) xxx

Hey doll! Yeah a tad better today thanks hun (nose is slightly less red but is still sore - boooooo!) As a kid I used to literally just et ready rolled icing out of the pack and much it like it was cake - and I wonder how I got big?? *Day dreams about sugar* xxx

I know - I've heard some people pay £500+! Don't get me wrong I love cake but for £500 I'd expect to eat as much as I want and miraculously lose weight....! Honestly everything with weddings costs so much it's ridiculous - it's like suppliers hear the "w" word and see the £ signs rolling xxx

I'm like that I cry when I get frustrated!! You're a better person than me - I'm mean to everybody (evil laugh!) Chin up mirs xxx

Hope you enjoyed and chilled night hun - sounds like you needed it! x

Yeah we're fine now thanks hun - OH was stlil having a bit of a sulk yesterday morning but snapped out of it by yesterday evening. Deffo agree on tasters not counting as syns haha - I'm bringing the leftovers into work for ym colleagues tomorrow so I'm not tempted to eat them! Yeah the cake is...

Thanks lovely - I could have been much worse yesterday and I think everyone deserves a treat once in a while! I used to write off whole weekends with binges but I think knowing that I'm so close to the wedding is helping keep me a bit more on track! xxx

I'm the same about the early nights - Anything later than 10pm and I start lagging the next day! Oooo I realy want a toastie now!

Oh hun - draw a line under it and start again. We all have "slips" - wouldn't be human otherwise!

So today didn't really go to plan - ended up coming home from work as I felt so pants. Struggled to stay on plan too - def went over on syns but could have been much worse Breakfast : mullerlight, orange and a coffee (0.5) Lemsip (1) and an orange Lunch: leftover pasta back with mozzarella...

Totally understand your dissapointment hun - you've done so well so far it's just those final few pounds! Save your naughty food for your birthday and enjoy yourself! x

Atleast you're not too far over your syn allowance - you can definitely pull that back before WI

So my friend didn't end up coming over last night - but I did have a huge row with my OH which sucked. We are ok now but I've now woken up with a stinking cold and feeling sorry for myself. Trying to keep syns low today ready for wedding cake sampling later! But think most syns are going to be...

Eat lunch mrs!! Losses are def hard to achieve when you get so close to target but you can do it. One of the best losses I had was on a week when I was starting to slow down and had a Mcdonalds so always worth a try to shake up your system a bit. Hope your neck and shoulder are a bit better...

So I know a loss is a loss but I was super gutted by a measly pound. Meh. Mega cheat meal last night and back on it today. My colleague suggested though it could be a result of one of two things – my current addiction to oranges (lots of sugar in fruit) or the fact I’ve recently started drinking...

Yeah I guess it’s just difficult cos my poor parents are trying to keep everyone happy and I know I’m a stubborn moo haha!! It was meant to be my mum, my brother’s gf and my friend but no idea whats happening now – just going to leave it to my Mum to sort (because she wants to do it, not...

Your mayflower curry looks so much better than mine! Come and cook for me please? :)

-1lb Bit gutted it's not more to be honest :( having a cheat meal tonight with OH. Back on the strict no carbs for dinner as of tomorrow!

Bit of a stressy day yesterday – met my 2 friends for a coffee (one of which I haven’t seen for 2 years) despite being a little nervous that it may be uncomfortable it was really nice. I then had a text from my friend saying that she was no longer going to see her wedding dress (this is the...

How was WI lovely? xxx

That fakeaway looks amazing! Going to have to try that veggie soup recipe - am still yet to find one I actually really like xx

Love Saturdays - went shopping up the local outlet. Got a tenner off my favourite Estée Lauder foundation, a load of other cheap make up as well as a new bra (2 back and cup sizes smaller than last time yay!) for £19 instead of £28! Then went on to have a walk around st fagans (a local Welsh...

Huge non scale victory today - went to get a new bra from the wonderbra outlet - last time I was here about a year ago I was a 36 GG - today I was measured as a 32FF! Absolutely chuffed!!

Yay finally the weekend! Hopefully the weather holds out tomorrow as me and OH want to go out. Meeting a friend who I haven't seen in 2 years on Sunday for a coffee - little bit nervous as we used to be super close and kinda just stopped speaking so hope it goes ok! Then going with my friend for...

Whoop !! Well done hun xxx

Hpoe you're enjoying your first day of freedom xxx

Kay - can you come and be my life mentor please?? You have done fantastically (is that a real word?) well to get this far hun, I’ve still got a way to go until I get to target but I do sort of know what you mean. I was very much in denial about how big I was – avoided the scales like the...

Well done for getting back on track hun!

I tend to cheat a bit and carry my pill over so that I don't have a period which I know I shouldn't but I just feel like I want to shower 24/7 when it's totm

Just reminded me to pop them in my handbag lol! Thanks hun x

It may sounds great but it's super boring - honestly I'm a carb fiend! Going to go carb-less again tonight and then carb it up over the weekend haha!

Well done for not caving - i love the fact that we're allowed to eat all that. Makes things so much easier! (Still wouldn't say no to a pasty though)

Lots of water and low carbs - I honestly find food so boring without carbs!! Breakfast : 2 x oranges and coffee (0.5) Lunch: the normal roll (hexb) mini malteaser bunny (3) French fries (4) and an orange Tea (0.5) Dinner: veggie chilli packed full of speed food topped with 40g RF cheese...

I tend to make the white sauce out of quark mixed with a bit of veg stock and a pinch of mustard powder – I’ve heard other people use the asda own brand macaroni cheese blitzed up (3 syns for the tin I believe!)

11st 8 at last weigh in - hoping to get down to 10 stone by my wedding on 1st August!

Hope you're feeling better today - glad your Dad is ok. Stress definitely doesn't help at times like this! x

I reckon you'll smash the 10's next week!

don't feel defalted hun - totm is a cow bag and makes us all feel gross - I swear that I gain about a stone when I'm on (I haven't but in my head it feels like I have!!) Regardless of how much you've eaten if you look back on it about 85% of it is fruit or veg so in the grand scheme of things...

Oh honestly it's only because I'm never hungry first thing - that's how I put on a lot of my weight as I wouldn't eat in the day and then would literally SCOFF my face for dinner!! On the weekends I tend to eat much more for brekkie / brunch xx

Hahahaha! yeah I thought it looked less vom like this time too haha! I've stocked up so have two bags in my desk drawer - looked like a right weirdo walking round Tesco with my arms full of oranges! xxx

I'm the same - could quite happily live off pasta, rice and potatoes for the rest of my life!!!

Ran out of oranges boooooo :( Breakfast: orange Lunch: same roll as yesterday (hexb + 0.5) aldi cheese curls (3) mini malteaser bunny (3) Coffee throughout the day (hexa) Lots and lots of water! Dinner: mayflower curry with quorn chicken lots of speed and lentils (4) Bag of French...

Hiya darl - how you doing today? Hope you're feeling a bit better xxx

Amazing!!!! Well done hun - fingers crossed for the 10's next week!! totally deserved xxx

hahaha! I've just scoffed another one - might turn orange soon.. would save on fake tan anyway lol xxx

Oh love - rant away, we're all here to listen! Hopefully you feel much better today - just draw a line under it and start again. Mother nature is a b!tch sometimes xxx

My name is Jessie and I'm addicted to oranges Ok so anyway - yeah - never been a huge fan before but I can't stop eating them. I want more..... Now. Breakfast: orange Lunch: quorn Cajun and tomato in a roll (hexb + 0.5) aldi cheese curls (3) mini maltreaser bunny (3) and another orange...

Don’t be too hard on yourself hun (just sang that in my head but anyway) do you think that maybe you were trying to be too strict after your Chinese and maybe that’s what contributed to eating the cereal? You’re doing the right thing by just drawing a line under it and moving forward. Atleast...

Hiya hun - that's really weird about the Aldi yoghurts? I sometimes wonder if Slimming World gets commission from certain brands such as Muller and Alpen!! xxx

Glad you're feeling better hun - love the minions on toast - feels like proper comfort food! Love the chicken curry and cottage pie - it's the same sort of thing I would do - has to be eaten so I'll eat it! xxx

Haha chipper!! I'd like some chipper-ness please to cheer me up! Food sounds yummm - how was your friend's group last night? xxx

I think I'm going to cut down on my carbs with my evening meal and drink lots of water (there is a chance I may have to move my laptop to the toilet though haha!) Got nothing planned this week so fingers crossed I can stay on track. xxx

Thanks lovely - just so frustrating! I'm just glad I didn't reach for the Dominos pizza menu as I usually would have - neeeed to get into that wedding dress!! Carbs are def my biggest downfall - if someone tells me I can have as much pasta as i like i will have a mountain! Going to have some...

Thanks hun - yeh I definitely need to drink more water (and less coffee!!) going to bring a bottle into work with me tomorrow I think!

So a bit peeved about my STS (if you hadn't guessed!) so am going to try and cut down on my carbs this week. Had a pants day today so this really is the icing on the cake lol Mmmmm cake.... Anyway Breakfast: orange Lunch: quorn chicken with quark and Cajun spice and tomato in a wholemeal...
