I've really struggled to get on here during the week when I'm working. Going to try and get the app on my phone I think so then I can update in the day when I get a spare minute! Anyway I've stuck to it 100% this week, done two 5k runs and went to circuits last night.. just got on the scales...

Grr when I try to update my stats on here it won't let me enter a weight that exact, the most exact it'll let you go is to 0.5 of a lb. So I've put my weight as 10st 11lb and 3lb loss. Good enough I suppose!

Weigh day! OMG - so my sneaky peek on the scales yesterday showed 10st 12lb which was a loss of 2lb. Got on the scales today and I'm 10st 10.75lb (yes I've got digital scales so very precise lol). Over 3lb loss! 3.25lb to be exact haha. So glad I went to circuits last night, that extra 1lb or...

Soooo here I am again :rolleyes: I had a diary on here when I was losing weight for my wedding back in 2014. That went really well, I really liked doing Slimming World (well as much as you can love being on a diet :p), Out of all the diets/plans I've followed (and that's been a few!) it's the...

Yay 2.5lb loss for me this week, very happy with that. I've set myself a mini target to lose 7lb in January and have now lost 3.5lb so far this month, so I'm halfway there! :D

Yay 2.5lb off this week so 3.5lb off now in January. My mini target is 7lb so halfway there, 3.5lb to go! 2 more weigh ins so fingers crossed x

Weigh in today and 2.5lb off this week so that was a nice surprise! I'm actually looking forward to getting back into exercise in a couple of weeks or so. It'll be dragging myself there the first couple of times that'll be the hard bit but I remember how much I used to enjoy it once I was...

Oh bless you. Naughty baby! Are they going to try that thing where they try to turn the baby (can't remember what it's called?) or just leave it and see if she turns herself? xx

Well done on your loss! Good for you with all the exercise too. I can't exercise at the moment but I'm hoping to be back into it in a couple of weeks or so. The Insanity class sounds great, I'm going to see if there's any near me too! xx

Oops, not been too great at updating this week – not a good start! I’ve been finishing work and getting the kids to bed and then going to bed myself not long after – not been in the best frame of mind this week as have a couple of issues going on, health wise and life wise – lol. Oh well got to...

Ooh thanks I’ll have to remember about M&S. I tried that Asda chicken and mango salad you suggested, that was yum! How are you doing this week? Will have a read of your diary in a bit x

I'm 5'2 so any extra pounds really don't look good on me! :mad: xx

Oops – well not a fabulous start today. I brought my fat free greek yogurt to work to have for breakfast with some fruit/honey and then got here and it’s a lady’s last day before she starts maternity leave so she brought lots of cakes in and she brought my favourite – Cadburys Swiss Gateau! I...

Thank you, yes I just need to keep looking at them to remind myself I can do it, I need to look like the second photos again! xx

Lol that's true, I always seem to spend the first 6 months of the year losing weight and the second half of it putting the weight back on :mad: need to try to change that this year and keep it off! Yes definitely will be good to spur each other on :) x

Weigh in this morning - 1lb off! I'm happy with that, only started Monday so it's not even been a full week. A loss is a loss after all :D it also means that I've managed my first mini goal of getting back into the 10st bracket, yay. Just need to keep it up now. I also joined the January...

1lb off for me, quite happy with that as I only started on Monday so it's not even been a full week - it's going in the right direction anyway! :)

1lb off for me, so 6lb to go! :D

Thank you :D

Just been having a look in the SW recipes section and the korma recipe looks lush, just adding it here to remind myself to try this one! http://www.minimins.com/sw-winter-warmer-recipes/292975-1-syn-chicken-korma-yummy.html

After falling off the wagon after my wedding back in June I am now properly back on SW and hoping for a good first weigh in tomorrow! :)

Ooh am I too late to join? I'd like to aim to lose 7lb in January. Not lost any yet, first weigh in is tomorrow though x

We've got campfire stew tonight - did it in the slow cooker last night and it smells yum!

Here to subscribe, love your diary :) sorry your little one is poorly, how is he today? Hope today is better x

Hello, I'm here to subscribe - I've just started back on SW too so looking forward to seeing how you get on :) x

Hey you, just been reading your updates, so lovely to see how you're getting on - not long now :) hope baby turns for you so you can avoid a c section xx

I had a sneaky weigh this morning and it's showing 1lb off so fingers crossed for my proper weigh in tomorrow. Even 1lb I'll be happy with as it means I'll have achieved my first mini goal of getting out of the 11st bracket and into the 10s! Today's food: Breakfast - Skinny latte (HEa) and 1...

Thanks, lovely to catch up with you :) ah thank you - I'll add a few more later xx

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm somewhere between the two at the moment! xx

You've done really well with it! Yeah I think I might attempt a parkrun soon.. though even 5k sounds scary right now! And then a mum at the school did the Wolf Run in November and I was seriously tempted to sign up to do the one in April. Don't know if that's a bit over ambitious though! xx

Hello again! I used to follow your old diary last year. Just subscribing to your new one :) I have also started a new diary – I was on here last year losing weight for my wedding which I managed to do, but unfortunately since my wedding it’s nearly all gone back on again :mad: hoping I can do it...

Meant to add – I’ve read here and there that apparently the SW plan has changed but to be honest it all sounded a bit confusing. I might have a look later down the line but for now I’m going to stick to Extra Easy like I did before. Also - I'm slightly worried about losing motivation this...

Hello to anyone that might be reading my ramblings. I ‘fell off the wagon’ quite a while ago sadly, so I thought rather than going back to my old diary I’d start a new one. Fresh start and all that… So in my last diary it was all about getting weight off for my wedding – my wedding was 5th...

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing OK? I’m really sorry I disappeared for a while. It’s all a bit of a long story but basically I was in a bit of a bad place for a while, I was suffering a lot with stress and anxiety (it was in the run up to my wedding so, although it wasn’t the wedding...

Hi hun glad you had a good hol. I wouldn't worry those 9lb will come off in no time :-) xx Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well it was my hen do on Saturday.. It was brilliant. I didn't stick to plan the couple of days leading up to it and definitely not while we were there! I need to get back on it now, I'm not in a brilliant place and have now been signed off work with stress but putting weight back on won't help...

Hello, Once again sorry for my little absence, I think I just needed the little break. I was feeling mega stressed about various things and I think trying to track what I was eating wasn’t helping because I just felt constantly sick and couldn’t eat anyway so then that was making me ever more...

Bless you, I am back lol. Still not properly (will explain in a mo) but I will be next week xx

3lb off this week and finally into the 9st bracket - weight today is 9st 12.5lb. I'd like to say it's because I've been really good all week but actually I think it's more stress related, oh well every cloud and all that! 5.5lb to go til goal now. I probably won't be around much again for a few...

Hi hun sorry I've not commented on here in a while I've been awful at catching up with diaries, just got a lot going on. How are you doing? Xx Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Sorry I'm not around at the mo, having a bit of stress and just not dealing very well with it :-( not much point in a food diary, I can't face food as I feel sick from feeling so stressed! Littlemissnaughty I'll post on your diary in a min but just want to say have a fab holiday and take lots of...

How bizarre, this morning I weighed myself and the scales said 9lb 3oz. Now as nice as that would have been, I very much doubt I've lost 12lb in one week LOL! I think the batteries must be going on my scales or something. I swapped them around and that has seemed to do the trick for now, must...

Hey hun :-) do you know what, I felt the same! For ages it felt like I was losing weight but things were still fitting! It was literally like one week they fitted fine and the next they were practically falling off. I ordered the jeans (the store near me never has petites in store, only...

Yep loving it, I'm actually glad I held on to order my fave Next jeans in a smaller size now, I had them in a 14 and they were massive so I went to order them in a 12 and they were out of stock! I popped in yesterday and they don't have those exact ones any more but had some similar so I tried...

Ooh well done you with your exercise at this time of the morning, I've barely moved yet! You're doing so well, can I steal some motivation :-) have a good day today xx Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yesterday’s food: Breakfast – 2 x Alpen light (HEXb), skinny hazelnut latte (HEXa, 2 syns for the syrup, then I’m going to add another 3 syns just to be on the safe side). Was going to just have a normal coffee but my workmate came back in yesterday after her trip to Australia so we went and...

I think you’re right about getting used to it, it definitely doesn’t taste as awful as it did at first – people at work were laughing at the faces I was pulling haha! Not long for your holiday now is it, when do you go? Yeah I don’t think everyone needs the full 15. I think I’d got into the...

Where did the weekend go?! I ended up going out on Friday.. I keep saying that's it for nights out now and then something else comes up lol! I went to a launch night of a product at a beauty salon my friend works at and she ended up dragging me out lol! So quite a lot of alcohol was had on...

Thank you hun, yeah it was good, I just don't know where it went! Hope you're OK? xx

1.5lb off! That'll do me nicely lol, I certainly don't deserve it this week! 8lb to go until goal :-) that means I've lost 3.5lb in March so nowhere near my challenge of 6lb, grr. Going to try again in April I think x Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I had ham, egg, sw chips and beans for dinner. Yummy! I also shared some chopped up apple and melon with the kids so a bit of superfree there too. Need to make an effort to eat more sf though! Hoping weigh in goes well tomorrow. I've got the school run and Lilly has her assembly in the morning...

Arrrgh it's not going well today. I've just stood and ate about 10 mikado sticks while cooking dinner. And a handful of maltesers at my Grandad's when I went to pick Lilly up. Where has my motivation gone??! Seriously you'd think my motivation would get better the closer I get to the wedding but...

Sorry about your gain, here's to a new week starting afresh x

Good luck for wi tonight! x

Just catching up.. ah sorry TOTM ruined things but hey a loss is a loss, 1lb is still 1lb less than you were :) and just think, if it weren’t for TOTM that probably would have been at least 3lb so you’ve still done really well! TOTM always wrecks it for me too. It always makes me crave really...

And then today's food: Breakfast - 2 weetabix (HEXb), milk (HEXa), cup of tea with 1 sugar (rest of HEXa and 1 syn). Forgot my banana today! Lunch - Small baked potato (free) with beans (free/ss), mugshot (free), Mullerlight greek style strawberry yogurt (0.5 syn). I've got a joint of beef...

Hey all, Mega busy weekend! We took the kids to Thomas Land on Sunday, it was a fab day and they absolutely loved it :) it was my friend's birthday on Saturday so Saturday night a few of went for a curry and what was supposed to be 'a couple of drinks', lol. I did say to her beforehand that we...

Yay for your loss this week :) eeek I'm so with you on knowing the interview panel, been there myself. It's definitely worse when you know them! Fingers crossed for you! x

I'm finally feeling better. DETERMINED I will update every day now! It's gone to pot again this week with feeling poorly and I'm also mega busy at work with my workmate being in Australia (not that I'm jealous or anything lol) so I don't get time for a break to pop on here like I normally do...

3rd March weigh in today and I've lost 2lb. That makes my total loss for March, erm, 2lb. (First weigh in I lost 1.7lb, second weigh in I gained 1.7lb!). Fingers crossed for next week.

So as above, I've been feeling crap again. Sorry, I'm sick of hearing myself moan now so others must be sick of it too! Hopefully I'll be feeling normal again in a few days. As usual, weekend was a bit naughty - I tend to stay on plan all day and then have a few too many naughty things at...

Good luck for tonight! x

Thanks for thinking of me hun. I've been poorly AGAIN so just feeling a bit miserable! Got this weird thing with my stomach, it's really hard to describe but it feels like butterflies in my tummy that are there ALL the time, sometimes it actually hurts and keeps making me feel sick! Yesterday at...

Arrrgh, I've gained 1.7lb - so I've basically gained what I lost last week. Oh well it's not exactly a shock and I know it's my own fault so I need to get back on track now and get it back off next week! Oh dear not looking good for my March challenge now though, grr x Sent from my GT-I9300...

I also meant to do a little exercise update. I mentioned before about how at the beginning of the year I was hopeless at running and could run for about 1 minute before having to stop - lol. And I said I was trying to buold that up and I'd love to be able to run 5k - that's my goal for the...

Boooo, sorry about your gain :( true though, I bet it's to do with all the exercise, I'm sure you'll see better results next week. Good luck this week!

Oh god what a nightmare! Hope your hubby manages to sort it. Hope you're doing OK too hun xx

Eeeek hopefully right this second they are doing your scan and telling you the good news. Can't wait to hear your news hun I have everything crossed xx

Oh my life I have been really really bad at coming on here and updating! Just had so much on recently. I can’t seem to stay awake in the evenings at the moment either! Gets to 9pm and I can’t keep my eyes open, how rock and roll am I! Right well I made the mistake of letting Neil do the food...

Arrgh, so I've been rubbish at updating this week. I really can't remember my food for all week but I have definitely stuck to plan 100%. I have been having less syns too as I didn't feel like having any chocolate treats in the evening for a few days as I couldn't taste anything anyway, I know...

Thanks hun just can't seem to shake off this cold/cough! Felt better for a couple of days then felt flippin awful the last few days again. I really could have done with staying off work and going back to bed but sadly it's the busiest time of the month at work at the mo and my team mate at work...

First weigh in of the March challenge for me today, I've lost 1.7lb (yes I am being very exact there lol). :)

1.7lb loss this week, probably would have been more but I've not been well so not been going to the gym! Oh well I've now lost 10%, club 10 award woo!

Monday again! I’m feeling soooo tired today, I was just about to get in bed last night and Jake woke up crying. I went in to get him and he was really hot, burning up. I took him downstairs and we just sat and cuddled for a bit until he was sleepy again, I managed to get him back in his cot...

Going to try it again later - will let you know how I get on :) I’m good thanks hun apart from it being Monday and being back at work, argh! Feeling pretty shattered too as I was up quite a bit in the night with my little boy as he’s poorly. How are you? I will have a proper catch up with...

I forgot to update properly about the gym. As I said last week I didn't go because I was feeling so crappy! So I was a bit worried about whether I'd really struggle this morning after not going for over a week but actually I was ok. Still trying to up my running distance.. I said last time...

Thanks hun, good luck with yours too, lol yep that's why I ended up going for 6lb rather than 8lb hehe xx

Thank you, that did cross my mind actually as I remembered reading that you get 2 HEXbs on red/green days (can never remember which!). Still not sure how those days work though and what you can eat on them, it seems really complicated! What do you have for dinner etc on a red day? x

Lol that's the problem, I have no difficulty eating like a pig! I just love food, always have.. oh dear. Thing is about a month after we come back we have our 'reception' back here and I'll be wearing my dress again so I need to make sure it still fits - lol! Ooh where in America are you going...

Subscribing! :) Good luck for WI tonight. Hopefully it won't be as bad as you think, but whatever it is, just draw a line under it and then from tomorrow it's a new week x

Thanks hun, I would love to be at that point by the summer too. I'm terrified we'll go to Greece for the wedding though and I'll gain about a stone or something! Eeek. I think I might start having a weekly syn allowance rather than daily, so it won't matter so much if I go over one day. Might...

Ohhhh nutella. The jar in the cupboard is calling out to me now! "Come and eat me with a spoon"... Arrrgh x

Tuesday's food: Breakfast - 2 weetabix, milk, banana (HEXb, HEXa, sf) Lunch - breakfast muffins (I accidentally ate these about 11am - they just fell in my mouth! I made them and then they looked too yummy to wait, argh!) All free/sf. Raspberry & cranberry mullerlight with frozen raspberries...

I'm so rubbish at updating over the weekend, I just never get chance to come on here! So another naughty day at the weekend, oops. Friday I stuck to plan food-wise, went to my friends house and she cooked a SW friendly dinner (she's doing SW too) which was all free/superfree, unfortunately we...

Ooh yes I have that sometimes, it's yum! Then I have to have naan, rice, oh and I know I'm a bit odd but I HAVE to have chips with my curry too, lol. Never what you'd call healthy, oops!

Hi hun, Sorry you've been feeling so rubbish, it really does get better though I promise. Glad things are a bit better with Jamie anyway. I think it's a bloke thing, they just get all scared and don't even think about how scary it must be for you! Well done on the loss. I wouldn't worry too...

Ooh well done for making your own, I don't have the patience, I'm just not good at stuff like that! If you go on some wedding websites there's a couple with good chat forums and you can get lots of ideas off there x

I always have korma too which I know is the worst one you can have calories wise! But the way I see it is if I'm going to have a treat and spend that much money on food then I'm going to have something I actually LIKE. xx

Ooh your exercise plan sounds good, keep it up and it'll get easier before you know it :) well done on STS too, I had a naughty day at the weekend too, oops! x

Hiya, not had chance to update for a few days! So will do a proper update in a mo. Been OK though, been sticking to plan OK apart from Saturday when I went out for a curry lol. Argh! x

Oh wow that looks amazing Becki! I'll try to find one of ours and add it soon x

I stayed the same today. Bit disappointed but actually I had a sneaky weigh earlier this week and it was showing a gain of 3lb so at least that's come back off, so it could be worse I suppose. x

Eek did you? What a massive worry! Glad you were ok though! Wow really, that's bad! Did they not tell you the price of the venue beforehand? I should be OK I think, I've got order forms for every single thing we're having from them (ceremony, reception venue, venue decoration, chair covers etc...

So what's everyone up to today? I need to stay away from the comfort food (already had a bourbon biscuit oops). It's my day off today and the last day of half term for the kids so I'm going to take them out soon. My friend asked if we want to go and get the train and go to Sheldon Country Park...

Thanks :) yep fingers crossed for next week. I always seem to struggle to lose when I'm near a milestone! Reeeeally hoping for that stone next week! xx

Sorry you had a rubbish day yesterday, glad you are feeling better today :-) I have days like that too don't worry. Let us know what hubby manages to sort with the cruise :) I weighed and STS so today will be mostly spent trying to keep myself away from the cupboards and the comfort food! Going...

So I'm back from the scales of doom (lol). 10st 5.5lb. Stayed the same! Still a bit disappointed but better than a gain I guess and at least it means those evil 3lb that somehow crept on during the week have gone again. Really need to stick to plan and get a couple of lb off this week although...

Arrgh well it all went so well until last night when OH decided to get us all a chippy for dinner! Arrrgh. Every other time they've had naughty stuff like chippy and pizza etc I've not eaten it but last night I couldn't resist :( grrr! I didn't have loads - just a few chips and a mini fish (and...

Thanks hun, I will try to chill out. Need wine I think lol! x

Lol oh well who sticks to it on holiday?! Hope you're having a good time! x

Don't worry too much, you don't need to get the CONIs yet as they are only valid for 3 months from the date of issue so they tell you to book the appointment for 3 months before your wedding date (and then it takes a couple of weeks to get them). It's worth getting the other bits you need now...

Lol yes that's true! Wake him up! That's what I used to do with Neil lol x

That's brilliant! I tried a run the other night and could only manage 1.5k - I'm hopeless! x

Oh thank you, you've explained that really well! I might have to give one of those days a go. The only thing confusing me is that if one one your meat etc is limited and on another your pasta etc is limited but on EE it's all free.. why don't people just do EE all the time? Although I like that...

There’s not a lot you can do hun but it does normally get better after a few weeks. I remember in the early weeks I would get home, curl up in the chair and nod off then wake up and go and get in bed for the night! (This was more with my first, second time round I had a toddler who didn’t let me...

Morning, hope everyone is OK. Well I SO enjoyed my dinner last night, sausages, egg, chips and beans. Just a simple boring dinner but I really fancied it! I didn’t get home from work til about 7:30pm last night so I was absolutely starving, you know when you’re literally stood in the kitchen...

I don’t think it’s quite that much but yes not cheap either :-/ it’s £30 per document for them to be legalised (when you send them to Milton Keynes) before sending them to Greece) so if you’ve not been married before it’s usually 2 documents each (your birth certificate and your CONIs), so £120...

Thanks hun, I'm so rubbish at drinking enough water as it is but I'm trying! can't stay out of the loo now lol x

This is probably a really daft question but how do you do red and green days? What can you eat on them? I’ve only ever done EE so I have no idea! I’m going to stick mainly with EE I think, but it would be good to throw a few red/green days into the mix to shake things up occasionally. I have all...

It’s not too bad, I’m just a worrier and constantly panicking that we’ll do something wrong or something won’t get somewhere in time, lol. Not sure if your process will be the same but I’m guessing it will be as it’s Greece. First of all we had to get our new passports and order copies of our...

Ah, yes our ceremony is at St Pauls Chapel, so that’s really good to know! Thanks :) it looks beautiful on the pics, I can’t wait to see it in real life now x

Here you go – this was a private 4D scan (I think I was about 28 weeks ish) and then this was her when she was born. Can you see the likeness! :-) xx

I had a Doppler with my first but it made me worse because I kept not being able to find the HB and having mega meltdowns about it and thinking the worst. So I didn’t bother second time round and I was so much more chilled. Those private scans are amazing, I had one with Lilly (couldn’t afford...

Morning :) the pizza sounded lovely, good on you for being restrained! I can never eat a whole one either. Whereas with Indian/Chinese takeaways I normally have a second helping, oops! Maybe I’m best with pizza too lol! Sounds like you have a lovely day planned. Ooh lots of sleepovers! Hope...

Well I did go to the gym last night, despite having a banging headache, the kids both having meltdowns and my OH trying to persuade me not to go! “Just stay in, we’ll lie on the sofa and watch tv and eat crisps” – yes thanks for that, really helpful! Arrrgh! I was so not in the mood but it...

Haha, brilliant thanks! I did go, very reluctantly – lol! x

Currently waiting for OH to get home so I can go to the gym! Ugh, someone give me a kick up the butt and make me go, really not feeling it tonight!

Also Greece! Lindos in Rhodes, 5th June :) whereabouts in Greece for you? How are your plans coming along? I'm just getting all the legal stuff sorted, argh! x

Hi! thought I'd pop in and say hello, I'm getting married abroad too - looks like our goal weight is the same too! :) Where are you getting married? x

Good luck, your targets seem fine to me! It's great on here as everyone really helps keep you motivated. Good luck with your weight loss :) x

Just subscribing :) I'm like you, I got to target then put weight back on, grr! Looks like you're doing well though, keep it up :) Daft question but what can you have on red/green days? I only know how to do EE! x

Completely agree with this :) you've been really good anyway so you deserve it! Enjoy xx

Ah good idea my sister works for Thomson too (I used to work for them too lol!) so I’ll ask her :) will have a google and keep an eye out too, I know there’s sometimes 2 for 1 vouchers for Alton Towers etc so will have to look and see if there’s any for here too! I’d love to take him, it would...

Morning, how is everyone? I didn’t end up going to the gym last night, grr! It’s half term so both kids are off school and preschool so childcare is always a bit all over the place in the hols. OH’s dad has them most days so I went and picked them up from there last night but then they said...

How are you doing hun? x

That sounds lovely! Do you do it in the slow cooker? xx

Brilliant :) well done, it's fab reaching all the little mini targets you set yourself too! xx

Sorry hun no time to reply properly til later but just wanted to say YES! I was exactly the same with the vitamin things they made me feel vile! I had to actually stop taking them for a bit.. so you're not the only one. Hope you feel better soon xx Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com...

Bless you, thanks hun. Aww that sounds lovely. Yeah, do it from scratch why not :) Ahh she'll love build a bear! I love the zoo haha. Bless, which zoo do you take her to? My little boy is 3 next month, trying to think of something to do with him. He is MAD on Thomas the Tank so I'd love to take...

Thanks hun :-) glad it's not just me lol! Hopefully this way will carry on working but like I said if I do stop losing then I'll have to ditch the cheat days! Nooo lol! Oh did you? How long after the wedding did you have yours? We were going to do ours on 5th July so exactly a month after but...

Very naughty malteser cake!

Ah here we go, I worked out how to add pics.. so here's Lilly very happily finishing off the cake mix lol. Then yesterday in Costa. Then one of me earlier with my littlest, Jake (can't leave him out lol) Hmm not sure why the pics are so small but I think they go bigger if you click them x

Hellooo, how is everyone? I've had a nice weekend, not done a great deal just spent it with the kiddies. I said to my OH on Friday night that I wanted to do something with Lilly (my eldest, she's 5) on Saturday as she'd been feeling off all week and I just felt like I've not done much with her...

They do say don't they that a wedding is the biggest test for a friendship! Lol. I just want it here now, I'm trying to enjoy the excitement and looking forward to it but just kind of fed up of the little stressy bits now x

Not really been updating this one very much, I've just been updating my weight in my food diary! I'll keep updating this every so often so I've got something to look at when I want to just see my weight loss quickly 'at a glance' but will keep my food diary as my main diary with all the chat :)...

Yay I found your new diary :) Bless you, dont worry it's completely normal for your hormones to be all over the place! I was a bloody nightmare! Neil used to find me sobbing and ask me what was wrong and I'd just be like "I don't knooooow" and was just generally a big sniffling ball of snot for...

I hope he does, I'm really not sure though. I'll keep on at him though lol! Oh wow big age gap! Kind of like here too. My mum was 21 when she had me, then I was 7 when she had my sister. She said that was it but then she ended up having my younger sister when I was 18! Lol, I was I wanted to...

Hey :) I planned on having wine last night too but resisted! The OH had two bottles of Koppaberg though so it was pretty hard, I love that stuff! Ahh mine were both up at the crack of dawn this morning. 4 of us all in one bed at 6am, so much for a sunday lie in lol. Hope you're OK and the wind...

I like the treat tin :) I need me one of those. I'm forever putting things in the cupboard and saving it for a treat and then what usually happens is I look forward to it all day and get home and my OH has bloody eaten it! I nearly actually killed him last week when he ate my maltesers! Loooove...

Hi from another Friday weigher :) I just do SW at home too so it's nice to share weigh ins and all the other stuff with people on here. Good luck with your weight loss x

Thank you :) I shouldn't really be getting stressed seeing as they do most of the hard work (my wedding planner in Rhodes), god help me if I was getting married here and actually had to plan ALL of it! It's just the little annoying things, like bridesmaids not talking to each other, and no one...

I have a weight loss diary thread too hun but to be honest I hardly update that one, I always just post here! xx

Sorry hun I've been crap at updating on here this week. Yeah I think you can see the heartbeat quite early on, I remember them looking at it beating away on my 8week scan lol. But yeah I know it's a bit later til they can hear it. Lol, bless him, that's sweet! My daughter was 5 in December and...

Oooh you are so close to your target now! :) what's this kettlebell thing? I keep seeing signs about that at the gym and never really understood what it is. Good luck with it anyway xx

Try not to be too disheartened hun, 1lb is still a loss, at least it's going in the right direction :) our weight fluctuates so much too, who knows maybe if you'd weighed an hour before/earlier it would have been 2lb! So annoying. Fingers crossed for a bigger loss next week xx

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I have been useless this week, every day I've planned to come on and update and every day I've ran out of time! Been feeling really stressed out this week and just been a bit anti-social I think! Got a few wedding stresses going on and work is just horrible at the moment...

3lb off for me today, that's 13.5lb off now since I started at beginning of Jan. GRR to not getting my 1st for the sake of 0.5lb but YAY I've reached my second mini goal of get to 10st 7lb (I'm now 10st 5.5lb). Now to reach 10st and then actual GOAL of 9st 7lb, bring it on :)

Eeek massive congratulations hun, so pleased for you! It'll be too early to hear the heartbeat yet, they can't listen for that til about 16 weeks. They might possibly send you for an early scan if you explain (and what with your previous mc) so that's worth an ask (I had an early scan with my...

Yesterday's food (Friday 7 February 2014): Breakfast None (oops). Went and met my sister in town straight from the school run and went to Costa, had a skinny hazelnut latte, 2 syns (using the skimmed milk as my HEXa). A third of a piece of the belgian chocolate tiffin (shared with my sister and...

Thanks :) I'm just hoping the gain doesn't catch up with me next week, eeek!

OMG 2lb loss! I'm seriously happy with that, after my naughty weekend of alcohol and meals out and takeaways I was expecting at least a sts or even a gain! That's 10.5lb off now since beginning of Jan. 1.5lb to go to my next mini goal and 1st 1.5lb to go to GOAL :)

OMG 2lb loss! I'm seriously happy with that, after my naughty birthday weekend of alcohol and meals out and takeaways I was expecting at least a sts or even a gain! That's 10.5lb off now since beginning of Jan and 1.5lb to go to get to my next mini goal :-)

Subscribing :)

Hi all, Thought I'd join in here as I've been following SW at home for a few weeks and weighing in on a Friday morning. I'm always so excited on a Thursday night for weigh in the next day lol. Though not so much this week as I had a bad weekend food-wise, it was my birthday - oops! Will update...

Thursday 6 February 2014 Well I'm feeling hopeful for weigh in tomorrow! If I don't get a loss then I wont be TOO disappointed as after all I did have a lot of cr*p at the weekend lol! But got my hopes up a little bit after yesterday the scales said I stayed the same. I've stuck to plan the...

Just a thought, but do you think maybe you aren't eating enough? I only say that because I used My Fitness Pal for a while to try to lose weight, when I put my details in it said I should aim for 1,200 calories a day. I stuck to it religiously but never lost a pound in weeks! (Well I kept losing...

Yay well done :)

Woohoo what brilliant motivation for you :) I'm always naughty too and have a sneaky weigh in mid week! Yesterday the scales said I'd stayed the same, happy with that though after what I ate and drank over the weekend for my birthday :break_diet:it's my 'proper' weigh in tomorrow so fingers...

Ahh don’t beat yourself up. If it makes you feel any better I’ve been the same over the weekend, my motivation was just absolutely zilch the last few days! I am back on it 100% now, I think it’s so hard once you lose a bit of motivation as it’s so difficult to get it back! But I think the main...

Not been around the last few days hun but just wanted to say well done on the weight loss :) that’s absolutely fab. I think you started around same time as me and you have already got a stone off! Wow! I have some serious catching up to do lol. You should be really pleased with yourself :) x

Hi :) aww congratulations! Whereabouts in Greece are you getting married? Not long to go then, it comes round sooo quickly xx

Cheers hun. Really peed off with myself for being a pig over the weekend, normally I look forward to the week after TOTM as it normally means I’ll get quite a big loss but because I’ve been so greedy I bet I won’t now! I’ll be lucky to stay the same, grr xx

Arrgh, sorry I’ve been AWOL. I’ve been very naughty, lol. The last few days have NOT been good. I had that Costa on Friday and it all kind of went downhill from there. I pretty much stuck to plan for the rest of Friday but then Saturday (and basically the whole weekend, and Monday) was bad. Got...

Yeah I’m the same hun, my sister keeps tagging me in pics of bikinis on FB and I’m just like, yeah I wish lol. I’d love to feel happy walking round in a bikini. I’ll see though, I always said I’ll never wear a bikini again thanks to my kids ruining my stomach (lol) but actually after a month of...

I would just up your exercise hun, before January I was a proper couch potato and NEVER exercised, start of January I joined the gym, I go 3 times a week and am seeing/feeling a difference already. When I started I could run for a minute and a half before wanting to collapse and die lol. Now I...

Weigh in this morning, lost half a lb. Bit disappointing compared to last week but I'm not going to beat myself up too much, after all I was expecting to STS or even gain after that massive curry last weekend, and also it's wrong time of the month at the moment! :( I always have a smaller loss...

Hi all, Bit of help needed if possible please! I've been craving a hazelnut latte all week but resisted, however this morning after weigh in I treated myself. Been trying to find out the syns online and read all different things so decided to just apply the rule of every 20 calories = 1 syn...

Ooh I forgot to update that I’d also lost inches when I did my measurements last week too. I think I put my old measurements on here but not my new ones. Will do that in the next couple of days! One other thing to add is, after going to the gym for a month I can now run for 4 minutes – OK...

Only just seen this! Thanks hun :) was very pleased, not feeling quite so hopeful for tomorrow though lol!

Ah well good for you, a loss is a loss :) I’m feeling the same about weigh in tomorrow though, we had a massive indian takeaway at the weekend and I’m not feeling too hopeful! Hopefully 3 gym sessions will have minimised the damage a bit though lol! Ooh you’re brave, going to the gym on...

Hellooo, I really need to get better at updating this. It's looking a bit boring at the moment, all I'm updating is my food! I want something a bit more exciting to read back on when I'm skinny :wink: Hope everyone is OK? I'm at work today, found it SO hard to get up this morning. The alarm...

Hey, ooh that frozen yogurt sounds nice. Oh and just seen you had a peanut butter sandwich the other day, eek I was craving one a few days ago! Is peanut butter many syns then? Must look that up! Hope you have a good day. I'm just at work too, early finish today though :) and my last day of the...

Hey hun, sorry to hear about your gain :( I really wouldn't worry though, our weight can fluctuate so much even just overnight which is why it's best to weigh yourself the same time and day every week. (Mind you I'm terrible for sneaky weigh ins too!). Happy anniversary :) we hardly ever do...

Wednesday 29 January 2014 Had a sneaky weigh in this morning and at the moment I've stayed the same. Hopefully I can get a bit off before Friday! I'm off to the gym tonight and tomorrow night, went on Monday too and I've been sticking to plan to fingers crossed! Breakfast Porridge with skimmed...

Argh, I didn't add my food on here on Monday and now I can't remember what I had! I know I stuck to plan though. Dinner was spaghetti bolognese (free - SW recipe). Yesterday's below: Tuesday 28 January 2014 Breakfast Weetabix, skimmed milk and sliced banana (I'm such a creauture of habit with...

Well done, great loss :)

Well done on your loss, you're doing really well :)

Sunday 25 January 2014 Breakfast 2 x weetabix, semi skimmed milk (HEX a and b), sliced banana Lunch Scrambled eggs and baked beans Dinner Roast beef, mash (small amount of butter so 1 syn), 1 quarter of an Aunt Bessie's giant yorkshire (I've bloody done it again and not realised how many syns...

Saturday 24 June 2014 This was a bit of a horrible day, I had to take my mum to take her cat to the vets and it didn't end very well, though we were expecting it to be honest. They had 2 cats, Skye who they've had for a while then Bella who they've had for a couple of months. They found Bella...

Friday 23 January 2014 Not been very good at getting my superfree in the last few days, hadn't been shopping so run out of most things! Breakfast 2 x weetabix and skimmed milk (HEXb and HEXa) Lunch Pasta n Sauce - Cheese, Leek & Ham (1 syn) 2 mikado sticks (1 syn) Dinner Mushy pea curry -...

Yaaaay I lost 3.5lb :) so I've reached my first mini goal of getting into the 10st bracket! I'm sooo chuffed! xx

OMG OMG I lost 3.5lb! Weight is now 10st 11lb! That's 8lb gone since start of January! I'm soooo made up with that! I now have only 1st 4lb to go til my goal :) I'm going to do my measurements today too and see how they compare to 2 weeks ago. I just want to note my measurements from 2 weeks...

Yep - especially the chocolate lol :)

Thursday 23 January 2014 Ooh not long til weigh in! Sooo hope I see good results tomorrow! I'm going to do my measurements tomorrow too as it's been 2 weeks since I last did them. How is everyone else doing? xx Breakfast Weetabix, skimmed milk (healthy extra a and b), sliced banana Lunch...

Another session at the gym done! Now watching Breaking Bad munching on choccie - saved my syns :) roll on weigh in tomorrow!

Lol I know, I'm so bad for it, I can't stop myself! xx

This week hasn’t been too bad, will see what my loss tomorrow is like after our Papa Johns pizza takeaway on Saturday night! I did try to syn it but couldn’t work it out so in the end I thought sod it, I’ve stuck to plan all week, I’ll have a treat and then be back on plan tomorrow! I have then...
