Any possible gain will be due to bloating etc, if you feel pants then it wont be an accurate result so don't let it get to you. Are you drinking enough? Water is your friend! XxX

Afternoon! Not much to update today but I've been slacking off with the food diary so here goes; Breakfast: Special K Lunch: Chicken and greek yog salad Dinner: Cottage cheese sweet jacket potato and a side salad XxX

Not feeling ill anymore, just knackered. My logic is that if I weigh in now I'll be disappointed and comfort eat, best to just strive for eating healthy till the end of May and then there's nothing I can do about it either way! XxX

What an awfully rude chocolate bar, forcing itself on you like that! I ignore anything with speed/superspeed, which I know is bad but as far as I'm concerned if it's healthy and I like it then sod the rules, if it's a choice between mango and takeout, then as far as I'm concerned it's super...

Ended yesterday on 700 calories, felt so rubbish - ended up in bed at about 8:30! I really need to get organised, 3 weeks of detox/clean eating and then I seriously need to up my game for Junes exercise fest, think I'm going to try not to WI until May 31st! It's peachy now lol, it just...

Your food for the day has made me so hungry! Looks lovely! I've missed a bit of your diary, sorry Sweet, I'll be better, promise! Tummy weirdness not good, think a lot of people get bloated when doing SW though, extra fibre maybe? XxX

Afternoon Lovelies. I'm crawling back with my tail between my legs, the MD was in last week so I've been missing the internet! I can't wait for this place to close now, 19 days and counting every bloo*y minute of it! I'm ignoring the scales. I'm trying to ignore how huge my a$$ is. XxX

Maybe too ambitious, we'll see. Either that or I use the money from savings to just get a lot of plastic surgery! Eurgh don't remind me about centre parcs, I'm dreading it! It's not a race Sweet, I have every faith that you'll get there, but you'll look beautiful in your dress either way XxX

Yep, me too, it's actually a bit better whizzed up - no chewing! Just under 4 weeks, last day is May 29th, I've got nothing on in June, no social events etc, they've all been organised for July so have a whole month to myself to tear my muscles to shreds! I want to be down to 11 by the second...

I was making all sorts of *I've sucked a lemon* faces trying to gag down blended celery and spinach. Struggling today though as back at work! Redundancy will be the making of me I reckon! XxX

Okay I lied, I did get on the scales, and was pleased to see after a whole week of eating pizza I gained nothing! Exercise must have paid off. Had a detox 4 day weekend, doing good. XxX

Sorry sorry sorry! I'm back, super happy that you're doing well! XxX

A$$ kicking needed please! I've not weighed in since I last updated, I have eaten a LOOOOOT of cr*p, but I am back, and I have had a green smoothie day today as this is my 4 day weekend as promised! I'm not getting on the scales till next Sunday because I will cry! XxX

I think I have the mentality of "Oh it wont happen again, don't be silly" and then when it heals I kind of forget - my desire for killer abs is apparently stronger than my desire to stay in tact! XxX

I think it's the kick boxing parts, I'm double jointed so they click around anyway (used to be a great party trick to pop my joints out) I just wish it would do it instantly then I'd know, but I'm not sure where it happens so I can't skip it! XxX

I'm sure I worked off enough calories to counteract it, I just can't seem to get my food in check lately, hoping it'll be better at the weekend when I'm not at work. I ache today and my hip has popped out again (this seems to be recurring a lot after BFBM, will make sure to do that last from...

...Oops. That is all I'm willing to say on the subject of last nights dinner.

I think we may have to agree to disagree on this.

Oh no! Fingers and toes crossed for you!

Never! She looks funny though, I've paused her mid squat! Just waiting for it to pass before I carry on. XxX

I'm always like that after an exercise day, if I don't wake up a stone lighter it's like "WHAT?! Come on!", but it's only possible if you exercise ALL day like they do and eat clean, and most people don't have time for that! Though I am wondering how much I can get off after my first month of...

Oh thats a good mix of scary right there! I'm sure you can get a great loss first week, I'm not saying 8 because I don't want you to be annoyed if it's slightly less, but I will have everything crossed for you! :) We need those shirts!! XxX

Not sure, but she is pretty scary! Taking a small break, have drunk too much before work out, feel sick. Have paused it! XxX

Off to start BFBM, I've paused it at the moment on her face, terrifying!

I'm awful, I find it difficult to bite my tongue, it gets me in trouble! It is a bit sadistic isn't it? Enjoying the burn afterwards! XxX

Food looks good. I know the scales can be shocking, but sometimes we need that as a good kick up the butt to get going- it will go down, just remember that when you get disheartened! XxX

You're back! :)

I might not be able to walk tomorrow, we'll see! I might take a bath in Deep Heat! It was rank, normally I do more kiwi so it's fruity but all I can taste is celery! It's the Monday after next, the 4th I think, so not too far away. Do you ever find threads on here that make you fume? I'm...

Do you have to see them? Is it possible to hide until they're gone?

Here to sub again. Marathon is exciting! 90 day did sound very restrictive, and I know your weight has gone up but do you think that's muscle? Do you feel more toned/fitter? Am seriously impressed by all your exercise. X

I have a tattoo on my back and also one on my upper thigh which I cannot see at most times, I didn't get them so that men would lust after me. Surprisingly I don't do anything for anyone else's viewing pleasure, I wasn't aware when buying things that I should be contemplating mens opinions of...

You know how you say I didn't let it make me slip?....I have eaten nothing but pizza for 4 days - not making excuses but I was so f*ed off with the MD being there that every time I got home I was just in complete CBA angry mode. I have been so incredibly bad, so have taken a day off work today...

I think a lot of women do it for themselves, not for men - the same reason a lot of women wear makeup and dress nicely. I certainly wouldn't imagine butt implants are comfortable, but I doubt that they get them just so that men will want to have sex with them.

I think I would have if it weren't for Fridays slip. My own fault though and I know how to fix it, I did do quite a lot of exercise on Saturday so achey!

Gotta be quick, MD in today! WI was STS, got upset yesterday, had girls night, ate too much! Light plan today, banana, salad, veggie cottage pie. XxX

Wel I'm a huge ass (I also have a huge ass). I had Dominos for dinner last night. Was so P*ssed off and had such a rubbish day, but I'm feeling even worse now, typical. Having a detox today to hopefully get it out of my system but definitely expecting a gain Sunday now.

Silly isn't it? I feel thinner, I'm sure my clothes are looser but if the number doesn't change it's like the end of the bloomin' world!

I feel like I've been naughty and I haven't! Stupid scales, they're the devils work - like I must have done something or eaten something without realising it to not be losing this week, silly! XxX

Oh I know but it's so frustrating, how can you not lose during the week but lose 4lbs overnight?!

Still no wiggle, starting to panic! I also have Miley Cyrus stuck in my head so a day of annoyance all round I think! Got off at 3pm yesterday, went home, did some crosstrainer, squats and weights - stomach finally feeling okay again so will attempt Jillian on Monday - don't want to do before...

Better, getting a bit peeved! Tummy getting better, still a bit sore but doesn't stab anymore! XxX

Morning! Still no wiggle, not best pleased. Was trying to get a half day, no luck yet but will keep at it! Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Special K (5) Dinner: Black rice risotto with butternut squash and pancetta (5) XxX

Ah that's gorgeous! I'm sure I'm going to have to come up to Wales soon! It is, getting better I think, but still hurts to bend in the middle, have been working on legs, arms and cardio instead, poor abs are missing out! XxX

Morning! No wiggle today, worried that Sunday has screwed me up :( Still only on cardio as stomach hurts, getting better though! Plan: Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Tuna, mayo and sweetcorn salad Dinner: Mushroom, onion, cheese and leek omelette Hope the weather is being kind to you! :) XxX

Ooh sounds nice! I wont, promise, I suck so bad at cardio so I physically can't overdo it! I'm hoping it's just muscle pain but if it's not better in a few days I'll pop to the docs, can't be missing Jillian! XxX

100% day yesterday but still feeling really bloated and horrible :( Stupid sunshine bad food day! Plan: Breakfast: Banana (I'm such a creature of habit, it's sad really) Lunch: Chicken salad sandwich Dinner: Vegetable pie (cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, chopped tomatoes, onion...

Ooh that's nice though, you wont have to get used to a new town! :D

Was just typing the same thing! XD

P!nk - apparently her concerts are amazing Reckless Kelly Joni Mitchell The Civil Wars Amanda Palmer 5 concerts you've been to

Wow - that was fast wasn't it? Where are you moving to? :)

I blame the sunshine, it was lovely here yesterday and we went to the seafront, I had fish and chips and I'm sure more ice cream than a person should ever eat! Fingers and toes crossed! XxX

Oops *pouts* I was very naughty yesterday... Seriously naughty, and I am feeling very bad today. Feeling all sick and bloated and generally nasty so that'll teach me! Bit of a detox today! Lots of green tea! Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Grilled cod, roasted tomato and quinoa salad Dinner...

WI, -4lbs! Scrambled eggs for breakfast and then 30DS before I go out and enjoy the sunshine!

Probably just another lazy one! Gotta sort out clothes and get rid of the ones that are too big, how about you? XxX

Ooh exciting!! :D

Oh no :( Is he doing any better? XxX

How are you getting on? Was it Thursday you started? It's p*ssing it dow here! XxX

Happy weekend! Up earlier than usual, about to hop on with a level of 30DS, after taking a Gree Tea and a protein shake No idea what's for eats yet but assuming I don't scoff an entire pizza I'm hoping for a nice result tomorrow! XxX

I shall, and if they don't show a loss I shall be having words...and by having words I mean throwing out of the window.

They better! I'll be livid if they don't move!

I do quite a lot of exercise when I'm eating on plan. I do find it slows my losses (a mix of muscle gain and water retention) but I also get smaller, when I did SW the first time round, I was 9 stone but flabby, my last time doing it I was the same clothes size at 11 stone because my body was...

Morning! 100% yesterday, doing really well this week! Plan for today: Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Chicken salad Dinner: Quorn sausages, green veg and butternut squash mash (probably smothered in beans to hide the taste of vegetables) XxX

Hello! Nice to see you! :) Definitely, it's horrible doing salad in winter, but now I'm excited about it X

I don't think anyone would blame you for that Helena, sometimes when we're ill it's more important to eat something rather than not eating because you know you're only allowed the things you don't want. It might not have been healthy but you know what was wrong with it and your body needed fuel...

Morning!I Feel slim today! Makes a nice change! Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Chicken salad Dinner: French toast and fruit The weather is lovely here, makes me motivated as I want to lay on the beach in a bikini! XxX

Oh no, I wont restrict too much or get rid completely, I've just been overloading lately!

Yep, we can't change, it, doesn't make it any better though! Still, I'll keep pushing myself and get there eventually! XxX

Aye Aye Captain! It's just frustrating, I keep thinking how far I'd be if I'd have started sooner, I know it's a slippery slope but dammit I want my skinny back! If it really doesn't shift I'll attempt to combine it with 5:2, I can't see a logical reason I wouldn't be losing weight! XxX

Cottage cheese, leek and spinach omelette :)

Bit disheartened, stepped on scales this morning *slaps wrist* not even a wiggle, where's my wiggle?! Plan; Breakfast: Banana Lunch: Chicken, spinach, carrot and sweetcorn salad with Caeser dressing (2) Dinner: Cottage cheese and leek and spinach omelette with beans 30DS as usual tonight. I...

Well done, you're doing so good! How many weeks of losing is that? Another successful day yesterday! Plan today: Breakfast: Fruit salad Lunch: Wholemeal wrap, lettuce, spinach, chicken and hoisin sauce (4) Dinner: Chicken omelette Exercise night tonight, 1X30DS and 1XBFBM! XxX

I can click most of my joints out and back in again I play 5 musical instruments I'm allergic to churches! (I think it's the old buildings vs sensitive skin, but it makes for a great anecdote) I have an irrational fear of being stared at my pictures (like DVD covers etc) I don't drink alcohol 5...

Egg fried rice and hoisin shredded chicken, no veg but really needed a carb day today!

Went to Brighton, I did try a few push ups and my body went "no". I did plenty yesterday, so if I can do some tomorrow I'll be happy. Hope you've had a lovely sunny day! XxX

Avocado, spinach, tomato and chicken wholemeal wrap - a whopping 13 syns but so tasty! Does anyone else ever get annoyed that they could have a free pasta 'n' sauce but healthy things like avocado are synned? I miss the mushy green goodness!

I massively CBA with exercise today. Wanna enjoy the sunshine, is that awful?

Hozier - Run The Honeydogs - I Miss You Pearl Jam - Better Man Joni Mitchell - All I want John Paul White - This Life 5 songs (not necessarily new ones) you can't stand

I had this talk with Steve the other day when I wanted an avocado, 14 syns for a small avodcado in a salad but I could have had a mugshot for free. I know why they do it but sometimes the mind boggles! 100% day yesterday! Not so achey this morning, which means I either didn't work hard enough...

Ooh I've not read that :S I prefer to use oil and syn it anyway, like sugar vs sweetener! XxX

I ted to repeat veg every so often because I'm fussy so getting 1/3 is a challenge! You can use some syns on oil to do roasties, or do them with frylight, not quite the same but boiled is so boring! I'm definitely going to regret it tomorrow!! XxX

BFBM and 1X30DS done! I am going to hurt in the morning! XxX

I'll be tougher on myself when I don't feel like I've been punched in the ribs! :P Roast sounds lovely, we've not done one since starting SW as admittedly I'm a child and want all the bad bits and about half a carrot! I think cooking wise the WW meals and the SW meals are pretty similar so you...

Mango Pistachio Strawberry Cheesecake Raspberry Proper Vanilla 5 flavours of ice cream you hate

Yay to the £50! Well worth going! We're not religious either and I don't eat chocolate unless it's white so today is really a non-day for me, Steve loves chocolate so I brought him a few healthy 90% bars with acai and blueberry in - they're tiny, about 4 squares of Galaxy sized so he can still...

Lots of exercise hopefully, we don't really do Easter and managed to get out of lunch with my parents on Sunday, Steve's off to the Gym on Monday so I have a whole day to myself to exercise. Hoping to be less achey by tomorrow to do some too! How about you? XxX

I think so, the smoothie was massive, like a proper milkshake (almond milk, protein shake, strawberries, raspberries, spinach and peach). Undecided on the lunch salad but it'll be a big one, probably with chicken (although I have a mad hankering for steak - I only get that once in a while so...

Morning! 100% yesterday, aching like MAD today andddddd my hip has popped out of place! So definitely a rest day today! Having a protein smoothie for breakfast, salad for lunch and soup for dinner! I'm being so good at the moment, all proud of myself :D XxX

Ee exciting that you're starting! I've already had dinner, was starving but could't eat much, odd! XxX

Feeling better now, was just the wall of "I have done enough" when you get that stuck burp feeling! Making a chicken salad now. How's you Sweet? XxX

BFBM done, but I've stopped short of doing 30DS as I'm feeling sick and my legs are like jelly, might have to ease back in slowly! XxX

I've not seen him, so I don't know!! I think it's crazy low though, not into the overly muscly thing, but objectively, probably! I'm aiming for around 15-18% eventually, wouldn't want to go any lower! XxX

This is why BMI is fairly unreliable, unless you're actually big because of fat. Steve's personal trainer is classed as obese and his body fat % is about 8! I'm up early on a day off to exercise, if that's not determination I don't know what is! Green tea and water, scrambled eggs for...

I go through phases with mushrooms, I don't like them in stews or sauces much but I like the taste, can do them in omelettes as you don't really get the texture, but soggy is a big gross. I cut them really small for soup though! Doing Jillian on my own and then probably Burn Fat, Boost...

Last night was surprisingly good! Had egg fried rice, a bit of duck (no sauce or pancakes) and a bit of seaweed, no idea on syns but I was only on 350 calories when we went so hopefully not done too much damage. Feeling a bit disheartened today though, need to up my game. Detox day today as...

I think the issue is it changes so much from one place to the next doesn't it? my logic was that rice is free, egg is free and it'll only be the oil and I have a lot of syns left for that, plus I really like it, whereas otherwise I'd have had something I wasn't fussed about and regretted the...

Didn't exercise, didn't break diet but did have a LOT of carbs yesterday so feeling terribly naughty. Off to the outlaws for dinner tonight as it's Steve's brothers birthday - they're getting a Chinese takeout but I've asked if they can just get me a portion of egg fried rice, I figured that...

I'll always back Jillian but I like quick results, think swimming is brilliant for weight loss but I just can't bring myself to go! What time do you have to be at work?

Thanks Hun. I'm keeping on keeping on, just gotta cut myself some slack I guess. Will maybe try some light exercise (bike or crosstrainer) for 15 or so mins and then have a bubble bath, definitely can't manage Jillian tonight. Need to see the ache as a positive thing, means I worked hard and my...

I'm so bummed that I let it slip, I used to be able to do so much and now I'm struggling. I've got everything crossed for Sunday. Such a weird mental block when it comes to exercise and weight loss, the moment I can't exercise my brain goes "oh just have something naughty!"

Brussel sprouts! Lamb Chocolate (except white) Green peppers Brazil nuts 5 guilty pleasures (not necessarily food) that you're a little ashamed of

Ladies help! I'm in over-thinking crisis mode. I'm achey all over, I was thinking of skipping exercise today and having a bubble bath instead, but I'm massively panicking that if I don't exercise I'll end up eating junk or not losing on Sunday. Pathetic hand holding needed!

Morning! 100% day yesterday and 30DS done...well almost done, I had to stop before the end because I thought I was going to die, but aching today so must have done a good effort at least, it'll get better! Breakfast: Banana and honey porridge (2) Lunch: Tuna mayo sarnie (6 for the bread, 2 for...

Why was she looking? Odd! I'd not even bother putting them on FB, if anyone moans then screw 'em, it's your wedding, your pictures. You could always put ones up for them that only have them in, that way they're only sharing their own faces! XxX

You could always do frozen veggies and fruit, much cheaper, or those microwave bags if you don't fancy cooking. If I liked veg more I'd probably not eat very much fruit at all as veggies are much cheaper! XxX

Not much sadly, not getting on with Boy, or the in-laws! Doug is still really good thanks, no more fits (touch wood) and right as rain if a little attention seeking! I just can't wait to have some free time to exercise, I've made so many plans of what I'm going to do that I'm getting excited...

It is awful feeling rubbish because of something you can technically change, doesn't make it any easier to do though does it?. I'm pretty sure (don't quote me on this because I've never been) but I think you get the first books free with the first membership, lots of people go for the first...

16? ****** that sucks. I know it feels bad but you shouldn't feel guilty for feeling happy too, it's sad and tragic but life doesn't stop for you. XxX

Aw, I'm sorry Hun. Sad news. Sounds like you need a break! I'm feeling good about work ending soon (7-9 weeks depending on the end date, we're not sure if they'll put us on garden leave to do building work) and diet but I'm still in a weird time regarding the boy. XxX

Don't blame you on the horse features front, but do try if you think it'll help. I can't tell you how relieved I am to be feeling good about weight loss, join me! XxX

Have been worried about you! Yes I think that's it, but everyone knows summer bodies are made in the winter! XxX

Hey Sugar! Aww, not good that you've had awfulness! :( XxX

You alright Sugar? XxX

Morning! Still feeling good! Breakfast: PB on toast (4) Lunch: Falafel, tomato and mozerella salad with balsamic glaze (4) Dinner: Pancetta cod, new potatoes and green veg (2) 1X30Day Shred this evening, maybe 2 if my legs can take it, they're still a bit sore from Fridays exercise. XxX

WI, down 2lbs back to 14.4. Rubbish night sleep, so feeling a bit fragile. Having a cheat chinese, homemade egg fried rice, pulled pork and 2 spring rolls (8 syns). Tonight will be something packed with protein and syn free. Feeling good still, hoping this positive streak stays!

I AVOIDED PIZZA AND COOKIES!!!!! I am winning!

Ooh singing? :)

Ahha brilliant day yesterday! 100% with food and even managed some exercise (squats and free weights, couldn't do much more because of the neck), on plan today, feeling SO good! Just spent 40 minutes bleaching the bathroom, had a protein smoothie for breakfast and about to sit down to a bowl of...

Neck stiff, not painful anymore though, was in agony! Food bad yesterday, but good today, feeling positive - though that probably has something to do with not being at work, I eat much better when I've not come home from there! Breakfast today: Apple Lunch: Chicken and parma ham ceaser sarnie...

Morning Bad night last night, have trapped a nerve in my neck so asked Boy to sort dinner, how silly of me to think he'd come home and cook. Half a Dominos pizza and a cookie. Sitting at work with a heat wrap on my neck, will make todays food simple so I don't have to cook,. Breakfast...

Thank you! :)

What was the context? If it was "I'm having some cray" I'd assume they'd forgotten the fish as the end. If it was "this situation is cray" then I believe it means crazy, I know this because my friends used to use it when making fun of the TOWIE cast, also using "Jel" and "Reem"...both of which...

Pancetta wrapped cod, new potatoes and Mediterranean veg

Have you thought of taking measurements? Similar to trying on the old clothes and seeing the difference, might make you feel good even when the scales are playing up, I once lost 4 inches round my waist after 2 weeks of heavy exercise but the scales didn't budge. You're doing really well :)

Ah those victories are brilliant, very proud of you Hun. So glad you're being kind to yourself, they are massive achievements!

I've become mildly obsessed with Almond butter for breakfast, might need a change! I know the Tesco stuff is 4 syns a tbsp, but this is the organic, no added anything stuff so I'm not sure on exact syns! Everything else is good, lacking in exercise due to * week but feeling good! Ah, I'm...

*whistles* Where is everyone? The Forum is quiet at the moment! Todays food; Breakfast: Peanut butter on toast and an apple (4) Lunch: Grape, mozzarella and balsamic salad Dinner: Pancetta wrapped cod fillet, new potatoes and Mediterranean veggies XxX

Your NSV's are amazing! Keep at it Hun, you'll get there. I know how damaging a binge can be to your mentality (I've just gotten off a weekend one and feel pants!), and how hard it is to draw a line under it but you can't let it affect your whole week or month. You have to learn however works...

Morning! Back up to 14.6 yesterday, but it is * week so I'm not too fussed. MD down again today so I'm not a happy soldier! Plan: Breakfast: Peanut butter on toast and a kiwi (4) Lunch: Greek yog, grapes, apple and carrot sticks Dinner: Chicken, mozzarella and Mediterranean veggie bake (4) XxX

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/317773-delicious-meals-minimum-ingredients.html Hi Helena, see above link if you're interested in some simple SW recipes. I'm like you with potatoes, the idea I could eat as many as I wanted threw me, but I find if I still measure my portions but...

Morning! :) Day off yesterday, was supposed to be an exercise day, it was instead a sleep till 1pm and do nothing but watch Once Upon a Time all afternoon day...I have no regrets. On the Brightside, sleeping till 1pm meant I only had time for 2 meals, and green tea meant I wasn't hungry...

If I'd figured that out I'd have shared it with you! :P XxX

Maybe! It's stupid, if I were you I'd definitely hang up the apron and refuse to do anything for him, you can still feed yourself and take care of the kids, but I certainly wouldn't be cooking for him if that's his attitude! XxX

I'm thinking I might have something to eat wen I get home, I'm starving! Maybe some more scrambled eggs, only had 1 and a half this morning. Eurgh, I don't know, he's so good at avoiding the issue it's ridiculous! XxX

I'm another breakfast shirker. If I eat it it's usually a good few hours after I've woken up. I just can't eat in the mornings, it makes me gag, I used to try and shovel some food down before work but it just left me feeling a bit nauseas and then hungry way before lunch time. I imagine once I...

Oops forgot to add my food! Breakfast: Scrambled egg, ketchup, yakult (4 syns, 154) Lunch: Marmite on toast, nectarine, apple, coconut water (321) Dinner: Hopefully the stir fry that I was supposed to have yesterday! (4 syns, 514) 8 syns, 989 cals, will probably have a protein shake after...

I know he's not normally but jeez that's annoying, it's only one day, what does he think it's going to do? Turn him into a girl! XxX

Turns out I couldn't either, bad day yesterday! No! He's still in the dog house and doing the Steve thing of if we don't talk about issues then they're not real! I'm just leaving him to it! Awful day food wise yesterday, and back up to 14.6 I'm annoyed and determined, I am NOT prepared to...

He refused? That's so annoying! It's supposed to be your special day! XxX

He's gone! Eurgh, can't wait to go home today! XxX

Just a quick update as MD is in today (sobs) Breakfast: Marmite on toast and a nectarine Lunch: Cube of cheese, muller light, apple, yakult and dates Dinner: Satay stir fry, broccoli, carrot, baby corn and spinach. XxX

Get some fluffy dice! :P I just need my mojo back, think I'll be fine once I start exercising too!

Aw she's lovely! What's her name? :) I'm WI today instead of tomorrow, because well I gave in and weighed and Boy wants to hide the scales, weight back up to 14.4, bit gutted but it's totally deserved. Will be 100% next week, or I'll be cutting off an arm to lose some lbs!

Yep, same here, I'm the only one (including her own children) who email regularly, check how they are etc! Aww yay to learning to drive, what car have you got? I'm good with everything other than diet and family LOL :P XxX

Hi Helena, I'm so sorry I've been absent, I've been having a God-awful year and have just had chance to catch up with everyone's diaries rather than just moaning into mine! I'm so sorry it seems to have been a whirlwind for you too since we last spoke! I promise to do better and be here for...

Lol, ironic, I had your portion of Chinese last night then! :P XxX

Hey Sweetie!! I know what you mean, it has changed, though I'm not sure why. I think I've got your mobile, I'll text you from now on if you're not on here :) Tummy better, as is Boy (at the moment!), leave work at the end of May, it's going so slowly!! How's you and Kev? It's been too long...

My Aunt had a moment in a Zumba class a few months back, she's a larger lady, probably about a size 28, and a group of slim young girls were laughing at her whilst she was dancing, apparently she turned and said, whilst continuing to dance, "You know ladies, you'd burn more calories if you...

Okayy, so I have screwed this week up, I guarantee my weight will be back up at 14.6 by Sunday. I am having today off, and back on it tomorrow...I am supposed to be doing things for Mothers day weekend (Saturday with In-laws, if anyone wants to shoot me now then I welcome that), but I'm taking...

Ah you're so close to the stone! Well done Sweet! XxX

Well done on 1 stone, that's amazing! I second Nanny Dorren's advice with the Chocko thread, great for ideas.

Glad you're feeling a little bit better! When you've won and have a chef I'll be moving in 'kay? :P XxX

2 nights, in a row. Panicking, eurgh why can't illness make you crave apples?!

Struggling :( Bad night last night! Off work sick today, trying to be good.

Jeez, I'd never noticed how much of a difference there was!! I know squats can make a difference, but that is huge!

I like it!

Whilst I'd probably never wear one (I'm a huge wimp, and I've become quite fond of breathing) I really don't think it's fair to liken women choosing to wear one to Victorian times. If I could look like Dita Von Teese I would, nothing to do with being oppressed or coerced. On the bum note, I...

It's alright now, bit tight but pain has gone, will just exercise in between pain! Oh that's fab! So glad you're doing well, you'll be there in no time! :)

I was naughty :( I was feeling sorry for myself and ordered pizza. Bad Emma. Detox day to make up for it, guzzling water and having salad for both lunch and dinner! Peaked at the scales this morning and up to 14.4, hoping that's just temporary. Breakfast; Nectarine and a yakult (1.5) Lunch...

Hi Hun, I thought that last time but nope, not even sore to the touch, no bulge, movement etc, just odd pulling pain! Has settled down a bit now, not so stabby, just tight, fingers crossed it'll be gone tomorrow!

I bet! That pizza sounds lush! XxX

Just fed up, work is rubbish, slowly getting worse just want out now. Boy just same old same old, refuses to listen to me, left me on my own for 10 hours yesterday without prior warning and then when I get upset he seems to think it's all my fault. I just don't get the belly button pain, it's...

I guarantee that STS is leg and TOTM related, take it in your stride lovely. Sorry to hear legs still not good :( XxX

Morning! Not a happy Emma today, want this week to be over already!! Work can b*gger off, can't wait to leave, steve can head in a similar direction, and I have YET AGAIN pulled that stupid muscle belly button thing in my stomach! I want to eat a bucket of fried chicken, but I wont...

Oh I know! I'm just being a moaner today! Thanks Hun! XxX

WI, 14.2 -4lbs, not going to lie, really would have liked 5, been at a 4lb loss for he last 3 days, was hoping it would have gone down.

Small slip last night, still under my calorie limit by a good hundred, but over syns. Green tea taken and had a strawberry, acai, blueberry, spinach and nutri-green smoothie to try and knock any possible gain off before tomorrow morning. Soup for lunch and salad for dinner. Fingers crossed...

We've got the sun coming through the glass doors at work, if it gets much quieter I'm going to go and lay down in front of them and pretend I'm at the beach! XxX

Good choice! :) XxX

I'd choose to replace certain family members before my pets. I think there's a strong difference between not getting the animal thing and allowing people to grieve.

Mozerella, tomato, bacon + balsamic salad

Do you have enough points for a sausage sarnie? How about bacon instead XxX

Yes definitely, looks like summer today! XxX

What's the eats for today? XxX

I'd definitely be relatable if nothing else! Maybe that extra course I was after should be a health and nutrition one, then I could combine the diet and exercise, I feel a plan forming! Oh I know, first time I've fancied a salad in ages, want to eat it now! XxX

Morning! I am SO unfit right now, got through about half a level of Jillian and felt like death, where has my fitness gone?! Today is going slow already, only 7 and a half hours to go... Breakfast: Apple and a Banana Lunch: Mozerella, tomato, bacon and balsamic salad with 1 crumbled falafel(5...

Sending hugs! XxX

I'm sorry Sweet, never nice to hear bad news. Will it swelling go down even if it doesn't go completely? XxX

You're probably better off eating light but little and often to keep your metabolic rate high ready for those big meals I think, you'll end up feeling sluggish if you limit and then go wild. Of course there is a lot to be said for intermittent fasting but I think being kind on your body and...

Quick change of dinner plan tonight, off out to get some bits so going to do a really quick batch of egg fried rice beforehand, no time to slave over risotto, will have a banana now and a fruit salad later to make up for the lack of superfree.

I've said to Steve I like the idea of getting fit and becoming a personal trainer at our local gym, that way I have no choice but to be active all day! Plus it's within walking distance of the house! XxX

Happened at the start of Jan, no worries. I'm going to take the Summer off and work on fitness/myself/take up a course and then look for another job near September, I'm incredibly lucky to have enough saved to afford me the opportunity! XxX

Ditto! Can you imagine the reaction if it had have been a man saying that?

Don't think that's snobbish at all. Surely that's domestic violence? :O

Yep! At work now, just lost the will to do anything, only 11 weeks to go till Redundancy! XxX

Don't cross them too much, you'll suffer at curves! :P XxX

Think it might be too much to hope for 8lbs, but hoping for at least 4! I'm so happy for you this week! :) XxX

Will be now the headache is gone! 3 days till WI, hopefully I can shift something by then! XxX

8lbs is amazing!!! Give me your secret!! That means you're down into the 17's! :D

Morning Hun, and welcome! This really is a great place to come for support and ideas. Syn-wise, I find it's better to have them (though obviously if you're not hungry, don't force yourself) purely because you have something to play with should your losses plateau, you can start on 15 and lessen...

Good day yesterday! Finally feeling better too, headache seems to have vanished! I scale hopped this morning (because I'm naughty) and not even a wiggle, worried that Tuesday has thrown me off :( Plan for today: Breakfast: Special K and an apple (5) Lunch: Chicken noodle soup (chicken, stock...

Ooh it's soon isn't it?! :)

This is why I stopped going to the gym! My pet hate is the men who stand by the weights and chat about weights, without actually lifting said weights more than once. I once watched from the crosstrainer as 2 blokes chatted about how they were going to get beer after all their hard work! Didn't...

Popping in to subscribe! You look brilliant! You seem to be doing so so well, I'm back on after being close to target and then a trip to the USA ruined me, Japan sounds much healthier! X

Nope, think I would too! Having said that, we know where he's been so maybe not! I was naughty last night, not by choice (well, kinda) :( I felt so sick when I went home I curled in a ball and asked Steve to cook dinner, but to cook dinner we needed quorn, so off he popped to Tesco, they were...

Brilliant!! Hopefully they can get something sorted for you! XxX

But it's such a tough choice!!

S&S sounds lovely, is that homemade or WW? I really don't fancy salad :( The mythical doctors appointment is a legend passed down by generations, some say it does not exist whilst others swear they have encountered it! XxX

Ooh yes, I'd forgotten about that. I'm not sure what was better, the amazing Dean or the fact I was slim! Win all round! XxX

I am seconding this, except with pizza!

I love the episodes where they reference it, maybe they should have just called them both Dean? Or wonder if they did it on purpose to mess with him!

Totally confused me at first too! Even after watching 9 series of it I still have the occasional slip of the tongue, but for me, Jensen will always be Dean! It's more annoying on days when I've seen both shows! :P

Resist the wine and keep repeating "I do not need it"! It'll be more enjoyable at the wedding then! :) Food sounds good, lunch looks awfully light again though Hun, you sure you're eating enough? How's the leg today? XxX

Oh that would be lovely wouldn't it?. Not sure what it is, I think it's lack of sleep, slept OK last night but still behind, can't be dehydration I've drunk so much! OH OH OH I had a naughty Dean dream! :P XxX

I used almond milk in the porridge, have enough left for a protein shake if I do exercise tonight but it was easier than working out the syns in breakfast! A loss is good, but I know what you mean, if you've worked so hard for a pound it seems so unfair! XxX

Dyjhiw you've had a headache for 3 days!

Barry Colin Duncan (dad's name, weird) Robert (step-dad's name, again weird) Sam (for no other reason than I have 3 Sam friends, it would be too confusing) 5 names that make you think "I bet they look good" (eg, the name Fabio always makes me think of massages and models!)

Morning! Didn't exercise yesterday, was so tired I got home with a pounding headache (which sleep did not fix and still hurts!) and fell asleep on the sofa in the sun! No fur babies tonight so Jillian is planned! Ended up on 15 syns yesterday as had a bag of velvet crunch when I got home, a...

Of course, especially if they would be around but not create any mess and/or friction!

Definitely, my Mum used to say that if I moaned about anything "Oh well if you had straight hair you'd want curly hair and if you had curly hair you'd want straight!"

No, probably not. Still, a few months would be nice, he can visit often!

Admittedly I've not tried any of them yet, but might consider keeping a couple in the freezer for "I can't be bothered to cook, normally this would mean Chinese" emergencies. I'd probably have added egg fried rice to it rather than chicken for protein, as it looks pretty bulky anyway. I don't...

I've given far too much thought to this subject! I don't, and probably wont, have children but it's fun to play! Evenlyn Madeline Edward Zachariah Genevieve 5 names you can't stand

I don't think he's ugly or anything I just don't get all the fuss, he's good looking but he doesn't do anything for me! Money stress In law problems! Stomach ulcers Job stress Relationship problems, still to be resolved! 5 things that motivate you in your weight loss journey (did that sound a...

They do sound inappropriate for the location, uncomfortable for everyone! Fingers and toes crossed for you! :) XxX

Just a bit! I just need to win the lottery so I can live alone! XxX

I always end up feeling unreasonable for being upset which is annoying, like because he's so kind and does other stuff really well that I shouldn't get annoyed but I'm starting to get really properly angry at him for doing the same sh*t over and over again. Think it was a bad day yesterday, one...

Sorry about Bingo, but I guess you're right that it's kind of egged you on! I hate fixed seats, they're a terrible idea even for skinny people I reckon! Food looks good but light! The WW ready meals are lovely, bit jealous, chicken hot pot is delish! XxX

Was worried about you Sweet, hope you're alright? I'm alright, just angry and tired of arguing. Same fight all the time, although there were a few new bits on Sunday afternoon which at least made a nice change I guess! XxX

George Clooney Scarlett Johansson Channing Tatum Matthew Mcconaughey Kim Kardashian 5 ways 2015 has been good so far

That's 2lbs a week, totally doable. Well done on ignoring the chocolate!! XxX

Thanks Hun, hope you have a good one! Really good day yesterday, scales showing 2lb down already, I know that's just water/food weight but yay! Had a huge fight with Boy last night, couldn't sleep as I was so p*ssed and by 2am I'd gotten so sick of him snoring and kicking me I took a blanket...

I've got my fingers crossed for a big loss next week to spur me on! I've missed Jillian too shockingly!! XxX

Trying hard lol! Not eaten much today, but lunch had tomato, celery, carrot, butternut squash, petit pois, onion and leek, so packed full of veg. Eating a pack of velvet crunch now but no idea what's for dinner. XxX

Tomato and vegetable pasta

Hope you're alright Sweet. XxX

14.6lb *cries* time to get serious. Waiting for my groceries to arrive, which should be soon. 5.6 stone to lose. Ah.

Ouch, maybe tell them. So frustrating I know where you're coming from, our doctors closes at 5:30pm, don't even offer late appointments, so effectively, lose money and skip work or just wait and see if you get better! Do you have any walk in centres or A&E things near you that aren't actually...

Your leg is leaking? And you have to wait a week? Really?! What the hell, surely that's an as soon as possible situation? XxX

Oh I wouldn't say that if I were you. I sobbed into Mcdonalds at lunch time. :(

Loving how motivated you sound! Give me some please! You will look lovely either way, but you could always ask to get a dress a few sizes smaller and aim for it? Then you have no excuses as you need to get into the dress. The amount of exercise you're doing is amazing! XxX

Liking for sympathy, not the fact you're sick! Hope you feel better soon!

It was energetic cleaning too, dance cleaning to Foreigner! You'll be in the 14's in no time, especially if you carry on like this week!

DYJHIW you've got a horrible cold, feel like my head is in a fish bowl!

Ah 3lb is fab!! Well done!! :D Didn't do Jillian, but did do 2 hours of cleaning, didn't feel well enough, will attempt again tonight. I'm focused but not prepared today, feeling ill has turned into a horrible cold, sitting at my desk with Lemsip feeling like my heads in a fish bowl! Went to...

Girly afternoon sounds lovely! XxX

Excruciating sometimes yes! Mind you, if I've been good or done a lot of exercise and don't wake up automatically skinny I get awfully peeved! XxX

Definitely, I*'m terrible when I'm just losing weight for health etc, I need to have something to aim for! June 2016 will be here in no time, and you WILL look fabulous, I bet, it is far but completely doable, I think sometimes we set ourselves targets too quickly and then get let down by ourselves!

Apple dunked in almond butter, carrot sticks and greek yog

Aw, that sucks. What are you going to see? Does that mean you'll be missing the boys?! I'm finally caught up and can start watching on TV! XxX

I bloo*y well better be! I probably still wont wear a bikini or anything, but just to be able to feel good in clothes would be a plus! I might book a hot holiday for December so I can aim for a bikini then! XxX

Nice vivid dreams? Though I'm guessing not as if you were dreaming about SPN you'd not be complaining! Sorry you're feeling tired, must be something in the air. Have a power nap? XxX

Focused but sleepy, I've booked an hour off (free, lovely boss today) work so I can go home and have a power nap before exercise tonight I'm that tired! Ha, he wanted a curry last night and I said yes on the promise that he'd exercise with me all week, poor sod! Quiet weekend, how about you? XxX

Oh yes! When I'm good I'm SO good, but as soon as I have something bad it's like the diet world has ended and I've become a food monster. My OH keeps saying we need "treat nights" as you're supposed to have something heavier so your body doesn't get used to stuff but I just can't, one Friday...

Oh that would be lovely! I'm still sure there's no calories in someone else's birthday cake, because ya know...it's theirs, therefore all the calories belong to them. :D

Also, I've no idea if there are Syns/calories in Lemsip, but if there are I'm ignoring them.
