Total amount for the challenge so far = 10.5lb

0.5lb off this week mainly due to switching from a morning to an evening WI, but got slimmer of the month for that group and it's a loss all the same!

Today's breakfast was on the run but managed to grab a couple of alpen bars and a snack pack of grapes washed down with a black coffee. Not ideal but at least I stayed on track!

I had the spiced potato wedges from the new SW magazine with a plate full of superfree salad and a packet of Bernard Matthews Turkey Ham chunks which were suprisingly nice!

Just completed day 3 of level 1, the aches are a lot less severe than with day 1 & 2 thank heavens!

Another hour for me this evening! Yay!!

Looks like I'm digging out the actifry then. I assumed I'd need to use the usual spoon full of oil so have resigned it to the junk cupboard!

I love Halloumi, has anyone seen the moroccan salad with the grilled halloumi in this month's SW magazine? I made it for lunch tomorrow and it's delish!!

And another hour today makes 6, really contemplating a day off tomorrow, legs feel like lead weights!

Just about to do day 2, I'd forgotten how much it makes you ache my legs felt like lead weights when I went for my run earlier!

The tomato tart from the new magazine, I've added some light mozzarella as a HEA, served with a courgette salad and minted potatoes, yummy it was too!

Today's yumminess so far: Breakfast - Watermelon, Alpen Light (HEB), Muller Light Turkish Delight Lunch - Tikka & Rice Salad with Mint Raita (1.5 syns) Snack - Apple, Cherries, Kiwi, Grapes Dinner - Tomato & Mozzarella Tart (HEA & 4.5 Syns), Courgette Salad, Turkey, Fat Free Cottage Cheese...

Well that saves me 61/2 syns per 500ml, genius!! Thank you!

I've added this to my list of things to try, thanks for sharing!

I had a caesar salad, with new pots. Looking forward to tomorrow, I'm having the tomato tart from this month's SW magazine, tweaked mine slight and added some light mozzarella as a HEA, that will be served with sweet potato wedges and loads of superfree salad!

Mine was a bit of a weird mish-mash today, accidentally slept in so wanted to keep it light, ended up having a melba toast with syn free salmon pate, a hartleys 10 cal jelly and an apple. Suffered for not having a proper breakfast by snacking during the day. Tomorrow, it's watermelon, muller...

It did taste lovely though despite the crystals

Mine was full of ice crystals despite all the stirring every half hour, any ideas where I might be going wrong?

I've been sipping it this afternoon in a display of British-ness, tennis strawberries and Pimms in the sun, does it get any better? Thanks for the idea!

Just a small shop for me this week seeing as I spent a King's ransom in Tesco last week Fruit/Veg Braeburn Apples Cherries Watermelon Strawberries Courgettes Aubergine Red Onions Baby Cucumbers Peppers Baby Peppers Tomatoes Peppers (mixed selection) Lettuce Meats Turkey Breasts Turkey...

I'm the same, I can never see where it's gone from but others always can and it won't be long before friends start telling you how good you're looking and asking if you've lost weight I'm sure, keep up the good work! x

Is it wrong that I found quite a few of those things not completely repulsive and would maybe give them a go? Apart from the Wendy's pretzel burger, had a Wendy's on my last trip to America and it was swimming in grease, now there's not much that I won't eat, but I just couldn't do it!

Finished the first day of level 1 earlier this eve, sat down for half an hour and tried to stand up my legs have completely ceased up! Not had this feeling for ages, bring on day 2!!

Day 1 of 30 day shred complete, another half hour I've chalked up and it damn near killed me in this heat, lol

My top tip for anyone just signing up and the thing that has been my saving grace has been planning, I always try to do a meal plan and do my shop with that plan in mind, which it sounds like you have already done so you're off to a flying start already. Not sure if it's just a coincdence, but...

Congrats, that's a huge loss. Well done you!

That's great that your OH is so supportive. Think it'd take a gun to the head for mine to contemplate it!

All good here Jodie! How you doing?

Thanks Gina!

20 minutes so far today although that was whilst carrying around a 20 Kg dumbell tree! I'd underestimated the weight so left the car when I picked it up from Argos, oops! Starting 30 day shred later so should increase that by 30 minutes!

Cheers Daz! Everything's crossed!

Just picked up a big box full of cherries (and I mean big) from Tesco should have been £5 reduced to £2.25 cherries are fresh, sweet and juicy, total bargain!!

Just off to buy the dumbells and then the DVD is coming out of the cellophane for the fist time since I bought it!

*Stronger not stonger lol

Twinings have a new range of silky bags, which seem to give a much stonger, fuller flavour than ordinary bags. Their gingersnap peach and mint humbug flavours are absolutely amazing!

Do you just not use the oil in the actifry to keep it syn free or do you still have to use oil?

Definitely giving this one a go! Can't wait!

Sounds yummy! Definitely going to give this one a whirl, thanks for posting!

Breakfast - Bacon, Egg, Mushrooms, Toast, Wholemeal Toast, Clover Lighter (4.5 Syns) Lunch - Smoked Salmon Pate, 3 x Ryvita Sesame (HEB), Boiled Egg. Snack - Watermelon, Apple & Peach. Dinner - Sweet Potato, Leek & Bacon Quiche (HEA), Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Cucumber, Turkey Breast, Fat...

Got mine at this morning's weigh-in there's a fantastic recipe for a tomato tart that I made this eve and it was yummy!!

Our local B&M have options Hot Choc (the luxury ones) 8 for £1 and alpen light individual bars for 20p. That's first thing in the morning and last thing at night sorted for me, only got to sort the bit that comes in between now...

I reckon I could commit to 20 hours, I've already done 4 hours so far, sign me up!

I had to choreograph that track for my instructor training, love it!!

A lot of the music on the DVDs is taken from ZIN releases which is the music/choreo issued to all registered Zumba instructors each month so will be the same/similar. Essentially any licensed Zumba release will focus on the same core styles/rhythms as they are the core principles of Zumba. I...

I have all of the games for the Wii and found them great when I first started Zumba and prepared me to attend my first class, but no substitute for a live class! Thanks to the game stoking my enthusiasm I eventually became an instructor in March last year and have used the game for Choreo ideas...

What a great idea! I think I'm going to give this a go myself!

Just got into the 15's today but hoping that I won't be in them for very long, although I know that the real struggle usually starts when I drop below 15 from past experience!

Has anyone seen sampled them yet? I'm gutted that the berry bakewell have gone but excited to try their replacement

Co-Op's range of light salad dressing are 1/2 syn per tbsp. The Caesar and honey mustard are lovely. Failing that I go for the Helmanns fat free vinaigrette

I gave it a whirl using the recipe on the SW website and it wasn't great went really icy and hard despite all the stirring, not sure if that's the way it was meant to be or if I'd done something wrong...

5lbs off for me this week I'm dead chuffed, really thought it was gonna be either a gain or a maintain!!

Do you need any equipment (other than the DVD) to do this one?

Room for a latecomer? I'm aiming to lose 40lb, aiming high on my first challenge!! Kicked it off at this morning's weigh-in with a 5lb loss, woohoo!!
