Jayde, You are really flying at the minute, well done! You get such a boost breaking into the next stone down don't you.... Keep it up girl!

Fell off the wagon today, having a large alcoholic drink....

Hi LilEm, Have stayed on track so far, although its a change planning every breakfast lunch and dinner for the family for a week at a time. Once its done its easy to stick with it, but the actual dreaming up part is hard. Not repeating, covering all tastes and getting fruit and veg with a...

Honk

Hey Bonkers! you are SO close to your target, you must be delighted with yourself getting this far, I think you can really make your goal before the date you have set-you must be ready determined!Keep it going!

did a quick unofficial Wi this morning, have 8lb off this week (only week 1 so not getting carried away) - have the proper Wi tomorrow and measurements etc. hate that. will be making this weeks food plan today, but the kick start has given me a real boost to keep at it. come on girls, we can...

I had a quick weigh in this morning to make sure I'm still on track and WOW - I have 8lbs off. I know its fluid etc etc in the first week but what a boost. I thought my work stuff was less tight round the tum! I have my official WI and measurements tomorrow, so I will be making the comings weeks...

Hi Moog Yeah, I'm finding using my fitness pal is really helping me make better choices. I'm really having to think twice before I just mooch something out of the fridge. Each little choice seems to add up. I must have been packing away thousands of calories a day before without a thought....

Any of the microwaveable rices. You can get the packs that are portioned, and you just pop them in for 2 mins. Or you can get (much cheaper option) frozen rice with peas etc, again microwavable. Failing that Ainsley Harriot does really nice couscous, plain or flavours. I love the morrocan one.

Hi skyrocket, That's pretty rough. Hope you are doing ok. Sw is great, you'll be able to slap it right into the ex with you weight loss!

I have an htc one. Excellent for camera and sound, the speaker is on the front of phone. Very good sound quality and loudness. Battery life seems terrific. I'd recommend it.

Sunday today, so I had spare time to cook something Have made thai chicken soup for tom lunch and fishcakes for tonights tea Easy peasy, fesh cod from asda, cooked in the oven bag they give you, so no smell. Mashed potatoes, both cooled down, mixed together with an egg, bit of seasoning. Make...

Thanks lady Amalthea :)

My weigh in is Tuesday, have def made progress, so I'm pretty pleased. I'm missing drinking milk though, I'm on almond milk currently, its "ok" but you wouldn't fancy a glass of it......

Honk day 7.....weird having no wine at the weekend....

Hi beebeesee I had never heard that about diet coke vs coke zero! Very good tip thanks

You could grab a Muller light yoghurt and some fruit. They also have prepared fruit salads which are tasty. Subway also do salad boxes now, with or without meat, for £3!

So another day on target Breakfast: scrambled eggs with mushrooms and courgette chopped up in it. Sounds ropey but was very tasty Lunch: salad with Tiny piece of chicken Dinner: tuna steak with baby potatoes and salad. Balsamic dressing (tbsp) Got the tuna from asda, 3 for 9 pounds, brilliant...

Honk for today! Yay

Good news Cheese Thief! lets keep it going. I'd be chuffed if it could get it off. Even though i have only ditched a couple of lbs so far, I'm defo less bloated so my work clothes aren't at "as" bursting lol

3lbs down so far. I'm pretty pleased. also because it's friday, i finish work early so i will squeeze in the gym on the way home. nothing major, but a out of puff fast walk on the running machine. better than nothing at all.....

Hi everyone I had said i would try for 10lbs this month. I'm 3lb down, so delighted with that! should make the 10lb mark

Honk Honk, day 5. I was starving yesterday but I'm feeling alot better today. Breakfast - strawbs, blueberries and almond milk blizted into a smoothie Lunch - subway saladbox (only 113 calories and really tasty) Dinner - coconut chicken - home made and quinoa/rice mix packet from tesco...

Erin31811, That's as brilliant ticker with the airplane. I haven't done one yet, must get onto it. A bit of visual tracking always helps me.......

Still on track....yipee... Today's menu Breakfast: almond milk, some stawbs and blueberries in a blender as a smoothie Lunch: some home made thai chicken soup Dinner: roast pork belly with sweet potatoes Was starving after about 9am, but just kept drinking instead. Was not at all hungry after...

Honk for today, I'm struggling today to resist an alcoholic drink. Its more routine than craving though. So have done a deal with myself that if I can last on track to the weekend that I'll get my nails done. I don't normally so it could be worth it....

I agree with stack head, If you go too hardcore from the start you'll pack it in. Try it and see how you go, as others have said you can always dial the calories back after a couple of weeks Good luck xo

Honk honk I've been on plan today, almost cracked (first day back to work), but managed to avoid the vending machine......world first.....

So, have been eating to plan, and have also cutout alcohol since the weekend(will try for 2 weeks). I'm finding spare time now I'm not sitting down with a wine. I'm tidying a drawer a day, which is quite satisfying. Decluttered food, decluttered house...... Yay

Hiya Rach, Ah ha, yes I do have that. Its pretty handy, plus the discipline of having to update it really makes me think twice about portion sizes, which has to be as good thing. My big downfall is alcohol, love a giant wine or 6. I'll have to get a new routine when I get in from work to...

Hi Rachel I had previously lost weight on SW, so I'm going to follow their general green day red day rules, but being much more disciplined on portion sizes, so not go over 1300 cals a day.

Hi Lisa123 What's Mfp? Lol. I feel so stupid for not knowing...

Lol Jayde I'm glad its not just me! I'm trying to get through all my Xmas treats before end tomorrow. I love baileys too, could down a bottle easily. Yum yum!

So, got as day by day diary today so I can track properly what I'm eating and any exercise..... Next step food shop plan for the week

That's a really good idea. When I was getting married, I had a piece of string that was for the wedding dress waist size that I wanted, and I tried the "to be" string every week. That gave me as right kick up the bum I can tell you x

Hi Rachel Im new too. Getting married is as massive motivation! Ive tonnes to lose. Am going by to spend tomorrow getting a food dfiary and shopping plan together, whilst i try to polish off the Xmas treats and drink lying around.... I did SW before too, found it really worked for me!

Hi, Sw is really good once you work out what a portion size is. I used it before and you can almost eat yourself thin on it. The best bit is the sync, which really help. I'm doing calorie counting this time, but based on sw green/red day foods. I'd like to get 3st off for a holiday after...

Hi, I'll try for 10lbs too. I'm doing calorie counting based on SW green day red day principles. Let's do this.......

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd start a new thread for the new year I'm 41, and currently bouncing in at 18st 2lbs, which, at 5'6" is ridiculous. I'm aiming to lose 3st by mid April, for a holiday, as a starting target. I have tried as variety of diets before, with SW being the most successful, as...

Hi, I have just joined today too. Getting prepared for a new leaf (lol) in 2014. I'm 18st 2 currently, but will do my stats properly on the 1st Jan. I have as holiday in April and can't bear the thought of more humiliation on the beach......
