Well it's been a while since I've logged on here. Exams are finally finished and I can start to get back on track. Downloaded the zombies run c25k app yesterday and I'm going to start it tonight. Should be fun but kinda scary too. I'm a total gamer so it should be right up my street. Onwards and...

Might just do that Claire. :D

Oops Laura. Hope you're feeling less delicate now. 3 glasses of wine isn't a lot. Must have been the lack of food.

Great weight losses everyone. The slow cooked lamb sounds lovely. I only get to eat it if we go out cos OH doesn't like it (although he loves kebabs so it makes no sense :rolleyes:) and it's too much to cook for one. Sounds tasty

Going to bed. I'll update everything tomorrow. Been reading everyone's threads just no time to reply. Roll on Wednesday.

I completely understand how you feel. I have between 2 and 3 a month and just seem to be constantly chasing my tail. Got an exam in June and can't help thinking am I going to have any time to revise at this rate. On the plus side ... I forget to eat when I am locked away with my nose in a book...

Bought all the ingredients for your butter chicken curry (my absolute favourite) and printed off the recipe for OH. Going to have it one night this week and can't wait. Takeaway curries are my weakness so your recipes are bliss. Thanks again :D

Oh I love Paris. Hope you had an amazing time:)

No comment. My Friday was a disaster ... takeaway fairy hit me over the head with a butter chicken curry and fried rice. Oh well. Hope you enjoyed your night out

Oh and another thing while I'm here ... I haven't been to my class for two weeks now and so far I've had a phone call and a text message from my consultant basically asking where I've been. This morning I got a letter from her. Is this normal? I don't like being hounded like that so makes me...

Hi there :D

Alycyn sorry to be a pain but how many syns are they again?

Would love to get back into running too. Need to lose some more pounds first though. I've got really bad knees but once the weights off the trainers are coming back out. Can't wait. What c25k are you doing? I had a great pod cast one that I used ... now if I could only remember the name of the...

Mmmmm curry and nan bread. Sounds lovely. Have you checked out the recipe thread for syn free and low syn curries. I've already printed off a few to try. They look delicious :)

I think someone is trying to tempt me - I placed a stationery order and they are sending not one but two boxes of chocolates with it as a thank you. Aargh I WILL not eat them LOL. Why didn't they do that when I didn't care? Someone must have a sweetie voodoo doll with my name on it :what...

I find that I can go for a couple of weeks and nothing much happens then out the blue I get a big loss. It's as if your body is so used to the fat it just doesn't want to let it go. I think my body thinks of mine as a cosy duvet :D

Ooh that's another good idea. Thanks

Hello all - 1lb loss for me please. Doing the happy dance cos it was OH 40th last week and I had a weeks holiday so didn't really stay on plan until the weekend. And more importantly I'm now an 11st something instead of a 12st something person :woohoo: Next goal - 1 stone loss in total ...

Laura, I wouldn't blame you. I think a Monday weigh in is just too much pressure because lets face it - it's the weekend - if we're gonna be bad then that's when it's gonna happen. Monday's are bad enough without a weigh-in too :D

Hi Laura. Found you :D just popping by to subscribe and have a wee peek at your pictures. After seeing the porridge with nutella ... yumm def gonna try it now.

Now why didn't I think of that Laura

roxysue Could you maybe cheat slightly (yes I did say that shhh!) but could you maybe change you weigh in day to a Friday and at least if you have a binge over the weekend it gives you the rest of the week to get back on track. I know it is kinda cheating but at least you wouldn't feel...

Aargh. Just reading my book and thinking about going back to work tomorrow. Just had a weeks holiday and all I want is to raid the kitchen. Never thought I was a comfort eater, I know I eat out of boredom but this is a new one :confused:

I thought they were super free too :confused:

Alycyn sounds like you've got an invisible visitor. Cats really freak you out when they do that. I remember when we stayed in our old place - really old building - one of our cats was lying on me then jumped up all bushy and was staring over my shoulder. Kept trying to get him to calm down but...

Hi Alycyn. You're post sounds so familiar I could have wrote it myself. Stick in there hun we'll do it together :)

Oh I have some frozen berries. Tomorrow's breakfast is sorted. Thanks Maverick

Tell me more ... how much Nutella do you use and how many syns. Could be forced to give up my maple syrup lol

bloodcoveredprincess I think I'll try the extra light mayo option - then I won't upset OH as he loves his butter and hates mayo with a passion - win all round on that one (blimmin heck I've just realised I can't spell and it's in the title of my thread too D'OH :o) as for the bread - it's all...

Kay003 I had a quick look at your list on the first posts and I was drooling even before I got as far as the pictures. It looks so tasty and can't believe it's all low SYN. Fantastic thread - thank you

bloodcoveredprinces We seem to be following each other :lost: lauralozzle I can highly recommend the porridge and maple syrup - it tastes amazing

Blood covered princess - I like the cut of your jib - maybe that's where I've been going wrong all these years - I've been eating it instead of washing it - no wonder I've put on weight :sign0007:

Subscribing :)

Just a food one so I can keep track of what I'm eating - or shouldn't be eating. I've not started a proper one as yet. I've read stuff about how you need to have made so many posts before it can't be googled etc so need to look into it more :confused: don't want to air my dirty laundry to the...

Subscribing love trying new soups :)

MaryMZ I tried going to the groups and got the new books but to be honest I've had more support here in the last week. The people here are really friendly and full of tips. I was going to try the online SW group but after finding this place I decided not to bother. Could you maybe even go to...

Hi all, I'm getting back into things properly this morning. Had a weeks holiday and it was OH's 40th birthday so SW kinda got bumped this week. Just started going it alone so here's my food diary. If anyone wants to comment / pass on advice/ give me a push in the right direction you are...

I agree

Hi Princess Ruthy and Voluptuous The one I was going to was the only one that was suitable. I work full time and study part time so I was kinda limited. I did think about doing it online til I found this site. Think it'll be ok posting on here - I just need someone to keep me accountable. Hi...

Don't know if this any help but I picked up a six pack of Muller light yoghurt yesterday in Asda for £2 Sent from my GT-I8190N using MiniMins.com mobile app

Brilliant. Congratulations:)

Hi hannah. Good luck to your husband. If it's any help my OH has been eating the SW dinners too and he's not complained. Have you checked out the magazines? I made steak and Guinness pie for dinner last night and it's definitely manly. There's quite a few great recipes on here :)

Thanks vavaness :)

Hi there, I'm a newbie but thought I would pop in and say hello. I weigh in on a Wednesday so here goes ... 2.25lb loss this week YAY!! Onwards and downwards :party0049:

Hi from another newbie. Good luck with the weight loss.

Hi there. Good luck from another newbie

Hi there. Another newbie here. Just finding my way around this place but just thought I'd say good luck

Great loss. Hi from another newbie.

Good point jennjenn writing it all down could make me constantly think of food. Might try your way for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. Hi Colleen great start for you. I'm sure you'll manage your stone for your birthday. Good luck :-)

Yeah I've had more support in this forum in the last day than I've had at my group. It's really helping. My official SW weigh in day was a Wednesday so I'll keep to that. I'll weigh in tomorrow night and post it here instead. So tomorrow is my get back into it day lol. Need to get a diary page...

Mrskatz great weight loss for your first week. You must feel great with that loss. Congratulations

Thanks marcusrichard. Nice avatar. Fallout fan I see.

haileyhaiz :wavey:- I know exactly what you mean. I was making dinners and my OH kept saying "Are you sure you're following your diet?" He couldn't believe how much food I was allowed to eat LOL. 5.5lbs - Great weight loss - proves it works doesn't it :D

Hi jennjenn84. I'm finding the diet ok so far but my motivation hasn't been great. Think I just had too much on over Christmas etc. I'm really pushed for time and find making time for the classes a real struggle so I'm trying to just follow it myself for now but I still need the feeling of...

Thanks babypat. Think this site is exactly what I need :)

Hi there. Know what you mean about the dreaded take away. Could you maybe download some recipes that you could batch cook and freeze. They would be quick to heat up when you're busy and short of time. The one thing I will say is breakfast is a must. Good luck

I found it easy because unlike weight watchers you don't need to point everything and unless it's a syn or a healthy choice you don't have to weigh anything. That's what put me off ww. I thought it was pretty straightforward

Good luck. Just found this site too :-)

Hi there. I just found this forum today and joined up. Looking forward to sharing my losses with you all. Onwards and downwards eh x

Good luck. I'm doing slimming world too. So easy to follow.

Good luck from one newbie to another :-)

Hi, just joined the forum. I've been doing SW for a wee while now and have lost 1/2 stone. I'm feeling disillusioned with my class so I'm going to try doing it myself. Found this site and figured this is exactly what I need. Wasn't getting the support but think I'll find that here - fingers...
