I stayed the same this week, and weighed in a couple of days late due to being ill so I'm happy with that.

My next goal is 14,5.5 which will get me my 2 stone award. I am hoping to get it by April.

I've just spent a few minutes reading your posts, thank you. It's now occurred to me that I have a host of reasons. 1). The first one has to be to improve my health, when I started I suffered with Planter Facitis, which is a very painful weight related foot problem. All the research I did...

HI -1.5lbs for me this week please (and -2 last week - I can't remember if I posted, I think I did - twice)

Woo Hoo I'm back FINALLY into this bracket! with a 1.5lb loss this week, bringing 3.5 lbs in the last two weeks. Happy with that! I think the trick for me is to write everything down.

Man I've done it again!!!!! I keep forgetting I've done my update already!Doh!

I lost 2.5lbs! Happy with that, especially given its star week :(

Hi I lost 2.5lbs. Will finish losing that holiday gain next week!

Doh, forgot I had done this!

Hi. Finally back from hols, I need a 3.5lb gain for last week unfortunately. WI again tomorrow, will update tomorrow night.

Hi. Im back from my holidays, with a 3.5lb GAIN (gulps)....Aiming for 4Lb loss on Monday. Bought a 12 week countdown. Focused again, maybe I needed it.

EE messed with my head having previously been a red and green girl but I did find it better for me in the long run.

Hi I changed over on Wednesday (not my normal wi day) and have found it tough doing SP but I think I needed a re-boot. The scales are moving though which is great and WI is tomorrow night. I am a bit bored of Omelette for breakfast though, and I didn't appreciate how much I used yogurts in...

How is everyone getting on with the new plan?

Still on the wagon :) heres tonights dinner.

I gained 1 over Christmas, but have bobbed around the same 5lbs since May last year due to stressful life stuff. Now back on it properly and looking to shift another 2 stone by the summer!

My first SP day, been a bit of a challenge but sticking with it :). I've last nights curry (SW vindaloo pork and chicken saagwalla) to eat with mustard veg and probably some broccoli (my fav veg). I feel hormonal and could chew my arm off if it was covered with chocolate but I am holding...

I joined last year on the 30th December, who does that? but when its right for you its right! good luck x

I gained 1, but had gained just before Christmas too. However, I now have a (wait for it) FULLY FUNCTIONING KITCHEN! Yippee, so I am enjoying cooking once more. I am going to go for 4 lbs in Jan, I know thats low but I have two weeks holiday from this time next week ("celebrating" a big...

Hi I would like to join please. Holidays on the 12th and 19th January please. I would like to lose 18.5 lbs please. that would take me to 13,10 and I think that would be a really good result for me. I'd also like to exercise 3 times a week (this will require me leaving work at a reasonable...

I feel your pain, we found a mouse in the garage, thought we had gotten rid of it. then extended the utility and did the kitchen, all boxes from garage and kitchen were in the dining room......result, mouse droppings everywhere. Found 3 of the little Sh*ts, they were drunk on my lovingly made...

I gained 1 lb when I weighed in today - means I'm in the next group up until at least Monday when I weigh again, then I am off skiing for two weeks so anything might happen there!

Hi all, I held off as long as possible but with a 1lb Christmas gain I weighed in at 15.05 this morning (I swear it was the drinking last night). So here I am again. I really want to get a grip and am hopeful the new plan is going to give me some focus.

I'd really like to lose 7.5lbs before 7th Jan. I go skiing then and I will have lost 2 stone from last years ski trip when I do this!

I can't believe I am still here. After 5 weeks off SW due to excessive travel for work and a new kitchen (which will be finished later this week) I weighed in today at 14.13.5 which quite frankly is a very lucky escape. So this week I have planned my meals, using a lot of quorn and other...

Wow, Im not sure how I managed it but I weighed in at 14, 13.5!!!! Really pleased, although I look like I have gained more on account that I haven't really been exercising, but thats ok. I've had Quorn chilli today and am focusing on speed food this week. Good luck everyone and I hope to see...

Hi, Sorry I lost my way, loads of travel and stresses at work, then kitchen renovation. Its going to be finished this week but needless to say the scales have gone up. But I have planned my meals for the rest of the week, the slow cooker is on and I'm motivated again.

I suspect I will be back in this group later today after WI. Its ok I guess, I lost my way, did a lot of travelling with work, have had my kitchen ripped out and its almost finished (roll on Thursday) so I am drawing a big fat line and getting back to it. I can't sleep tonight, Ive got jet lag...

Tesco apparently have chicken heck sausages 2 for £2

Ok so I am trying to get around the conference problem by preparing overnight oats (my favourite thing at the moment and getting lots of compliments at work when I take them in). My de-stressing is continuing....I now have an ironing lady and the dogs are booked in with the dog sitter for next...

Thank you. I'm doing great at the moment but am on a conference for the next two days

Ok. So I kind of lost the plot all summer. I am now the same weight as I was way back in July. But in that time my husband lost his job, I changed jobs and ended up travelling loads, had a car accident and a virus and Hubby has had to move to London. So I am back to a single life during the...

I lost 1.5lb this week. happy!

Hi Id like to join you please. Im sorry to hear about your relationship breakdown, I lost loads when my husband and I broke up. I am now married to a much nicer man and although I had a few years in the wilderness of dating have to say I am much better for the original break up. Anyway, I...

Can I join please? I think it's probably best I go for 10lbs

Hi can you add me please. It's a 100 days from today, which means I reach the dreaded 40 in 114 days! I would like to be 13 stone by then (that's 1 stone 12 to lose, so it's a tough challenge). I am doing a 10km run in November so will need to keep on track to do that!

Fab! Well done

Still heading in the wrong direction, it's a half gain for me please

Thanks for the support. I'm still on my SW journey, and plodding on. I'm the same weight I was in May but I guess given the summer that could have been a lot worse.

I've lost my way a bit......can I join with a challenge of 4lbs from now please?

Ok I'm still digging deep and still in this group........it's been a stressful summer. New job, husband lost his, family wedding with an estranged sibling present and preparing for My lovely husband to work away. Money worries and propping up depressed husband, so when I consider it all I'm...

Roast beef dinner at a pub (not far from bearded festival).... They acted superbly but I kinda lost it for the rest of the day. Prior to going out I had had a HUGE spider in my handbag. Not a good day!

Thanks, Sunday lunch was lovely....right up to the point I found a caterpillar in it! Fortunately it was still whole. Ironing now.....living the dream!

Ok I've really struggled for 6 weeks now. Things will be better in August one way or another but in the mean time, I'm knuckling down again. I've had a great week except Friday night,but had loads of super free yesterday to make up for it, and now I'm going to have a Sunday lunch and loads of...

I lost 1.5lbs this week please Daz. I'm more than happy with this although I now realise I will fail the challenge.

Still struggling half off this week please Daz, WI again Monday

Half off please

Sts please

Hi Daz sts for me please (getting bored now)

its been a bit of an up and down day today, started well at 5:30 with a run, then work and breakfast with beans, mushrooms and tomatoes, then mhy leaving drinks, chips for everyone else but jacket with Tuna for me, so at this point I was feeling pretty good and on track....then home to 2 hi fi...

Well done! I'm hanging in here with another STS

STS please

Yes life can be really rubbish. I lost my sister to cancer, caused a huge rift with my brother which tore the family apart, still not mended so a big family wedding in August is going to be fun! But I also met and married my best friend, which after an abusive first marriage has restored my...

Thanks orla, missed you too and you are an inspiration. I'm digging deep at the moment, lots of stresses since April which has affected my weight loss but Im Hopeful that's going to finish soon.

I think the same as Jeanette. I get some big losses but they are when I so the third of my meal as superfree. I have lost 1 and a half stone this year, which really isn't the rat I would like to do it, but I didn't gain it all overnight either if truth be told. This really is a life style...

Thanks. The curry was amazing! It's from the meals in minutes book!

Oh oh hon you are being hard on yourself! If you are supper strict you'll lose weight quickly but most likely regain it when you stop. If you accept life will sometimes get in your way then yes the weight loss will be slower, there may even be ups and downs but you have more chance of...

Well we did some fab food on Saturday from the easy entertaining book (you can get that still at amazon) but for our first wedding anniversary the lovely husband took me back to the hotel we stayed in all weekend when we got married for an afternoon tea! It was fabulous but definitely not syn...

Hi Daz, hope you are well. I lost 1.5lbs this week. Thanks

Good evening Daz. I lost 1.5lbs. Thanks

Hello, after my wobble I'm back again. I am better focused as I need to lose half a stone this month!

Despite an indulgent afternoon tea for my first Wedding anniversary and a mega alcohol session on Friday.....I lost 1.5lbs, which takes me back in the 14 to 13s! Chuffed to bits!

Here you go http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weekly-weigh/313347-sw-awards.html

I think I drank a months worth of syns! Ouch my head! Back on it today, I'm pleased I went, I had some lovely compliments

Im Out with work tonight. I am looking forward to it but I have to confess I may consume a bit too much alcohol. So I'm going to be great with my food, then moderate with my drinking (I don't drink so often now so my tolerance is lower than it was)

Frustrating but you and I will get there next week !

I think a lot of stress has just caught up with me. Couple that with a visit to mum and dads and lady week and I was always going to be screwed. Back on it now though.

Hello again, after a disastrous week I have gained and am back here, hoping to be gone again next week. I've re focussed, bought a countdown and am writing everything down once more.....feeling hopeful.

WOW!!!!! well done

It doesn't look like I will make it to the gym until Saturday after all! But my food has been great, with lots of super speedy fruit. I'm feeling positive again now and I'm really pleased I bought a countdown and made the commitment for 6 weeks. I am still writing everything down and I'm...

Fantastic! Well done

Well I paid for the pizza and all the other rubbish I ate with a 2.5lb gain! My biggest gain by far! I could argue that some of that is period gain (2llbs) but I was pretty bad when I was away. So on Monday night I felt rubbish and could almost feel me giving up, then I realised that was...

I'm staying here but I gained 2.5lbs and should really go back up a group.... But im staying here and knuckling down

Hi Daz, I've gained 2.5lbs, I blame the wine, chocolate and other hormonal urges!

My biggest gain; 2.5lbs, gutted doesn't come close!

Looks like we are all struggling a bit. Glad I'm not the only one. This morning I have printed a months worth of SAS logs (I prefer them to good diaries) and am going to fill in my food each day for the rest of the month. I want to be 14 stone 5 by this time next month. In fact I am going to...

2lbs gets me my club 10. It's my nephews wedding in 8 weeks...would love to be I. The 13s by then (12lbs to go)

I got the best results when I drank LOADS of water with green.

It was great fun. My goal had been to lose 1.5stone prior to the wedding which I did but now I'm struggling to get my mojo back

I need to focus so 7lbs for me please. I'm a Monday weigher! We have a big party planned for the 28th, otherwise it should be a straight forward month

thank you x

Hi. I can't find the June challenge, can someone post a link please? thanks

I can't lose weight in green at all! Only on red and extra easy

That was just part of it! Let's say she married well! It was in Blenheim palace, had three tenors, an alcapella group during he service, a magician, a characturist, (sorry about these spellings) and some look a likes!

Went for a slice of the real thing! Oops

My sister in laws wedding...they had a blues brother tribute band! It was fun!

I've had a cracking few days and am now back on it.....thinking of making the pizza from the fakeaway book as a treat!

Did you enjoy it? We've just come back from Newcastle (so no one here will understand me here in the midlands)

I'm going to change my mini goals: Complete week 2 of c25k Lose 2lbs to get my club 10 I want to do all this by 10th June

Please excuse my manners (or lack of them). I meant to say thanks.... Sorry

I think you can get around that if you make sure a third of your plate is supper free

Had to laugh.....I only lost half a pound last week....I had a third round interview and got the job! Lol

Daz I knew I had caused havoc....I should have a half pound loss for the week of the 20th too. Please can you include it (I need. Every little bit!)

I've been meaning to share some photos too....

Hello. Well I managed to lose that other half pound tonight so I'm back where I started pre wedding. I'm over the moon as I got slimmer of the week too! I visited my mums class in jarrow, made me appreciate my local group!

Oh dear. I need to lose 5.5lbs in 5 days to get this challenge.....Junes challenge may be better I think (no weddings just a few life changing events planned)

I've lost half Daz, I'll be back to normal on Monday with Monday weigh ins. Thanks

Hi Daz, I ve lost half, I'll be back to Monday weighing again next week

Hello. So I've now had two rubbish weeks but today has been a lot better! I gained 1lb over the wedding week and lost half of that last week, now need to knuckle down for holiday in 5 weeks and Nephews wedding in 8!

Daz I lost half a pound last week, this weeks weigh in is delayed until Wednesday

Daz, so sorry, time has just ran away. LAST weeks weigh in was -0.5lb (ie 19th) this weeks will be on Wednesday night, then again on Monday, sorry!

Mala, wow that's really spooky. I have said I am going for 3 this week but I have a funeral today, night out tomorrow, cake club Saturday and lunch with the spice girls on Sunday. So it's going to be a challenge! so I will post lots of food pics this week to help me stay on track! What are you...

Hi. I am currently weighing in at 14stone 13lbs. I would like to lose 4 stone. I gained 1lb but I'm back on it now. Really tired and found it very hard to make the right choices today.. Will be better from tomorrow

I gained 1 please Daz

1 on please Daz..... It was a great weekend

Hello! Well my throat is raging but it was a great wedding. My food wasn't too bad but the amount I drank was disgraceful (although I managed not to disgrace myself.,). Lots of complements of my weight loss. I'm on success express today and tomorrow! I'm in the hat!

Thanks!

Un officially got that too

Got it and husband got an offer to go, all in all a good day, just need to get my redundancy offer now!

Hello, round two of the interviews today. Should get an answer this afternoon. Really doing well diet wise. Thought I should publish some photos of the lovely food we are eating.

Hello, I lost 2.5lbs this week so I managed to get my 1.5stone award! Yippee! My club 10 is only 2.5lbs away so that is my next goal, then my 2 stone (7 away) then 3 more will get me below 200lbs for the first time in years. So they are my next goals. i wanted to be in the 14s and have lost...

Thanks

Hello! I lost 2.5 lbs last night, got my stone and a half award and slimmer of the week. Happy to be joining you all x

Good morning. The interview is at 8 this morning. I had a tremendous weight loss of 2.5lbs last night, and was slimmer of the week. I also managed to achieve my 15. Stone, which was always my goal for this week. we have a big family wedding this weekend so I am on plan and focused for the...

Good morning. Just a quick one to say see you soon. I lost 2.5lb last night, got slimmer of the week, my 1 and a half award and I'm now 14 12.5. Now I'm at a wedding this weekend so I could be back here next week, but if not, thanks for your support and I hope to see you soon in the 14 to...

Hello, it's 2.5lbs for me please

Hi I've lost 2.5lb this week.

Hi, I've lost 2.5lbs this week Daz. Thanks!

Lovely free food on the Barrie last night and quite a lot of gardening done. I fear I may not have lost weight this week, what with my period and the lack of shopping I've not eaten enough superfree foods at all. It's forgivable though, it's been a very hectic week. Interview in the morning...

Thanks I'll let you know The diet has been rubbish today, lots to period pain and I've eaten dark chocolate and not enough super-free, nor have I ran, so it's off to Tesco in the morning then 2 days of success express.

That sounds positive. Just remember it didn't go on overnight, so it's not going to come off that way either. As long as overall it's a downward trend then it's going in the right direction.

Well done Meg. I'm hoping for a loss this week but have the period from hell and we went to the Chinese last night....I'm going for a run later to try to work it off!

It's Tuesday 8am. It's fortuitous, I have been head hunted and there is voluntary redundancy available where I currently work, so I'm hoping to get a yes from both. The interview is really just a chat from the sounds of it.

Oh no we went to the Chinese....I tried to be sensible but ate too much. Success express for the rest of the weekend for me! I went shopping today for a new top for my interview on Tuesday, I picked up an 18, tried it on and it stomped me. I ended buying a 16, that was a nice feeling...

I had two on Wednesday though, but no other syns for the rest of the day

Well done

I'm no longer spilling out of my bra! Yippeee

Thanks. We are consulting with a solicitor, it will come good in the end, looks like I have a good opportunity on the horizon which could help alleviate some of the financial stress. I am amazed I have lost weight during this, as it's been very stressful, but decisions have been made...

He's pretty good and he's not at work at the moment, we both like cooking. I should have said what the dishes were......chicken Kung po, chilli and ginger prawns and special fried rice, they were all excellent.

Today has been another good day, I have had a hi if bar to get my syns up a bit. Tonight the lovely husband cooked spicy bean burgers, rest assured we haven't gone veggie I just won the raffle at the group on Monday and the prize was the ingredients to make the recipe from the fakeaways book...

Here are some of the meals we've cooked from it, grand total 2.5 syns per person

Ooh I've just realised I have another week to go! Best get running!!!

Hello and welcome. So my weigh in gave me a 3 lb loss and slimmer of the week again (this is my third time). I annoyed myself as I ended up eating a load of cake the bonus daughter made and I'm sure it would have been more if I hadn't. But let's move on, I have been 100% again since Monday...

I failed! I had an oatmeal one. It was nice

Hope so. I wanted 1.5 stone by May 10th so need to crack on! Made biscuits for work today but not have any

Great. I hope to be leaving you all this week as I am now 15 1

Hi Daz, I'd like to start this challenge with a 3lb loss please. Thank you

Hi Daz, please can you pop me down for a 3lb loss this week. Obviously I've not achieved the challenge, but it helped me get back on track, so thanks very much

Have you got a count of the weigh days for May by any chance Daz please?

Today I am a little less focused I started ok. But have nibbled a bit. It's not disastrous but I thinking get complacent when I see a good loss on the scales. I need to hide the scales! anyway breakfast was ok lunch was heated up shepherds pie, then I've had a hifi and a small chocolate...

Hi I'm going to go for 8 for May please. That should keep me on target for the 100 day challenge too. thanks I really appreciate these challenges

I didn't have the packaging with me to look it up. But there is an m&s one which is only 3 syns and I didn't use the dressing. Hence the debate. I just made sure I didn't have any syns for the rest of the day

I had the exact same thing on Tuesday. When I looked it up it was 16.5onEE but I didnt eat the dressing, anyway a big debate started on FB on my SW page and we concluded it was really about 6 syns on green or EE.

Hi I had previously started a blog but truth be told I'm spending significantly more time in here I might as well create my blog/diary here. So a bit about me I guess: I am a professional project manager, I would n't describe myself as a career girl because I firmly believe there is more to...

Fantastic!

Thats a brilliant first week, well done

Wow, that's impressive. Was it your first week? Of not what did you do?

Thank you. I'm revisiting my books this morning and I've hot a sas log ready.

Grrrr stayed the same, after a gain last week! Really wanted to lose about another 5lb before 10th may, and wanted to average 7lbs a month. Gutted. Loads of stresses but really annoyed that I have let it slip so badly

Stayed the same Daz please (as I slowly see this months challenge drifting away)

welll done, you're zooming down the groups!

Today I put on wellies and they didn't gather at me ankles, I think another half stone and they will be perfect!

Thats great! Well done x

Wow!

Just looked it up, it's at catton, which is 10 min from where I now live!

Haha, that sounds fun. I've only just moved out of Derby! Lived there for 13 years

Just realised I fibbed.....when I have a good weigh in I buy a new recipe book as a reward. But I don't have a food treat

Thanks, I'm being really careful and making sure I have half my plate of super free food to help me in my way! Whats the the bearded theory festival?

Think I need to revise my next goals, due to 1.5lb gain on holiday! So by the end of April I would like to lose 5lbs, which will get me into the 14s!

I gained 1.5lbs so I need to lose 5lbs to get into the 15s. Average 2.5lbs a week, may be a bit of a challenge but I'm gong for it. Holiday gain 1.5 isn't too bad!

Gained 1.5lbs on holiday Daz. 6.5lbs to go now! Doh

I don't have a treat night on WI. I have done previously but just don't feel I need it and don't want to make it harder than it needs to be. Bottom line is this doesn't feel like I am depriving myself so I don't feel the need for the treat.

I'd love to be in the 14s by the end of April! Might be a tall order following my holiday

I'm expecting a gain tomorrow following my holiday, so my goal is still to get my 1 and half stone award by sil wedding on May10th. I had 4lbs to go before my holiday. So I think I'll need to average 2lbs a week to get it. Fingers crossed! Just made kebab meat, salad and chips for tea and...

Hi. So I'm sat in Gatwick, delayed (to be expected given we are flying to chambery) and I've just tucked into breakfast at frankie and bennies. I chose to have fruit salad and a bacon omelette. Which as you fellow slimming worlders know would be a good choice. But I'm still in the uk and not...

I make the cakes but don't eat them!

Well done!

I've finally started noticing on my face and today I wore a pair of trousers I havent worn in a year. One of the blokes in the office said something about my weight loss, to which he got a hug!

My next goal is 3lbs which will get me into the 14s :)

Bye anju. Congratulations and hope to see you again in a couple of weeks

Hi Daz I'm on holiday the first week. No WI from me on Monday I am afraid

Thanks, you have lost more in less time though! Lol. I've lost 9 this month, which made me slimmer of the month (a total shock). I'm pleased though....I had four weeks of staying the same, due to not eating enough syns! i have to confess my head is in a completely different place this time...

I lost 3.5lbs this week :D Im now 3lbs away from the 14s, hoping to get there after my hols, last time I skied I list 3 so I'm hopeful.

Hi Daz, I'm chuffed to report 3.5lbs off! Target achieved! Hope you're starting to feel a bit better and thanks for this x

Hi Daz just realised I should tell you I am on holiday the first weigh in. I shall be doing body magic in France skiing. (Yippee) hoping to have a bit of a loss during the holiday due to the exercise.

I can't recommend sw enough but I don't know ww anymore. I am finding ee really easy to stick to but you've got to be prepared to cook. We are both out of the house 13 hours a day at work and commuting but we are finding we can still fit the cooking in pretty easily. :)

Peggydee that's fab!

Rosie one meal won't ruin it. Enjoy your time with your family. You are very lucky

Baby ...... That's a nice sustainable loss (and very similar to mine)..... I think I didn't gain it all overnight so I don't know why I expect it to drop off!

I've just tried on sallopettes from last year, and they fit beautifully. They are a size smaller than the one I wore in January! Hoping to lose weight next week via body magic with skiing in France. Might have a couple of cheeky Vinos too!

Yours is amazing too , well done xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins Fantastic! Well done x

I want to be in the 14s by 10th of May, so I guess we'll be doing that together!

That's a good feeling

Wow, that's interesting, wouldn't have thought of that one

Wow! I have found running at 16 st hard enough. This is very inspirational, thank you

Ahh thank you. I had that problem a lot too!

Love your goal! That's great x

It's not just you. I'm not seeing it although husband claims he can see it. I'm noticing my loose clothing though, or more to the point it now fits where I was bursting out of it.

What is friend zoned?

Hi I'm keen to hear how you've noticed your weight loss, not linked to your weekly weigh in. For me it's that my wedding ring is now loose.

This is my second time and I'm enjoying it more

I've just completed week 1 and it's Friday! Yey!

I got my first stone prior to skiing! Yipee

I agree!

Daz sorry to hear this. Thanks for doing the sheets. Hope you feel more positive soon x

I could have had many wake up calls....I had lost weight and become fit (even doing a triathlon) then I met my now husband.....and then we met and we got comfortable, I stopped going to the gym because I wanted to spend the time with him and we ate a lot of take aways, drank lots and became...

That's useful Daz. I think I'm happy with my goal, of 20lbs over 14 weigh ins!

I hold on to my weight a lot. I have lost an average of a pound a week following SW EE plan and really enjoyed it. I can't express how unusual it is for me to lose this level and so consistently. 1 lb a week may not sound like much but I've list a stone already this year and 1lb a week...

Can you pop me down for 5lbs please? I have a holiday the first week too Daz. So I think 5, what with a trip to the besties and a holiday that should be challenging! Thanks

Right! You have gorgeous skin and a fantastic woman's shape! Take a new look x

Wow, check out your waist! That's a fab silhouette you have! I think you should be very proud of yourself

Slinky I have started nhs couch to 5k ..... It's hard starting it but I think probably worth it

I gained, just a half so it was a bit of a wake up call. Back on it today.

I gained 0.5lbs but that's ok

Good evening Daz. It's a modest 0.5lb gain for me this week. Still going to achieve my target..... Just taking the scenic route. Thanks

mmmm I got my stone last week and seem to have lost the plot in the last week so I think I suffer the same thing. anyway just done second run!

I'm in.... I'm feeling brave! 20lbs please (gulp)

Some people don't have a clue how hard it is, lucky them. I have to say I once knew a stewardess who panicked over three pounds, but she was so thin 3 lbs literally meant she couldn't do up her skirt properly at a christening. I'd rather be a bit more chunky and less insecure!

Thanks, it's probably the best meal we've done from the taste of Asia book

You're not alone! I think I'll feel a lot more positive towards my weight loss when I've reached the 14s

I'd like to join in if you don't mind. My short term goals: Get into 14s....I'm 6lb away Complete week 1 of c25k by Saturday Complete week 2 by 4th April (on holiday from 5th) Get my club 10 before my sil wedding on 10th May (9 lbs away)

Thanks texty. This has been my first challenge and I've enjoyed it x

Mmmm I've heard it said that you should look at your weightloss over the month due to hormone factors. I'm hoping for two this week but quite honestly will be happy with 1 due to a bit of distraction on Tuesday and Wednesday. Aching after yesterday's run Suz

Stuffed tonight.... We've had yuk sung, ginger prawns, fried rice and chicken Kung po........ Couldn't eat half of it.... Total 3.5 syns.

Oops blond moment!

Sorry I missed this.....well done

That sounds nice but for the fact I hate peas! Have agreed with the hubbie that tea tonight will be yuk sung, fried rice, Kung po chicken and sizzling garlic and ginger prawns.....can't wait, I love cooking nice meals and am really looking forward to this one. Seems very indulgent but it...

:DWell I had half a slice of orange chocolate cheese cake at an Italian last night. I'm pleased I halved it. It was a lovely meal and I think I chose wisely. I had a tomato sauce where there should have been a cream sauce, thanks to the chef for accommodating this! antway at 7:30 this morning...

Great!

Enjoy yourself im back on it again after a few "flexible" days!

My favourite dish at the moment is Italian meatballs (from the website) with aribata sauce from the sauce book. It's fab and surprisingly quick to make.

FANTASTIC! Well done

brea Thanks. Enjoy your break then get back on it

yes it did. Need to add it to my signature too. Really pleased and on track to do my challenge for the month. Nipping to asda on the way to work to get some super free foods. We have soup for lunch

Whoo hoo. 1.5lb loss, giving me my 1 stone award. 1 lb to go on monthly challenge too do feeling great, need to keep on it. My club10 is in sight!

Hi Daz that's 1.5 for me this week please. Hope you had a nice birthday

Hi Judith I think your post is great. I feel just the same. I have struggled to lose weight and have finally come back to SW late December. Like you I have previously done red and green days. I have been bowled over by extra easy though. It's a breeze and for the first time ever I am...

Thanks Orla. I've just had a chat with MIL and she's good with this plan. My mum does SW (she's been target for years) so it's easy when we go north to them. Finally feeling confident to walk the dogs (the gsd, that's 7.5 stone of dog, pulls) with my back healing. So I'll get a bit of...

This sounds like you're being a bit hard on yourself honey. I used to be at the gym 5 times a week, now I can't even go once at the moment, I've struggled with this but I've realised all exercise counts, so when I clean the windows, walk the dogs etc I am pleased. I've recently gone back to...

Good morning everyone. Well I confess I have been on the scales every day this week due to my water retention and tablets I wanted to assure myself the additional weight would go and low and behold it has! If I stay the same for the rest of the week then I will smash my month target too...

Happy birthday Daz. this is my first challenge and I love how you manage it. Thank you x

Well done. Hope to see you there soon x

Our group was very interesting last night. Next to no one turned up, I think on account of the big challenge we set ourselves last week. Anyway the leader didn't have a lot of people to probe so it was a more chatting class, it was great. In regards to SOTW I was surprised how it was handled...

Really pleased my dedication has paid off....despite the side effects of the painkillers (let's just say I really need to get back to my usual rhythm ASAP) AND getting my period (=2lbs gain). I managed to lose 1.5lb. This makes me half way through the group! Im hoping for a BIG loss next...

I lost 1.5lbs please Daz..... Happy with that given my lack of exercise

Lovely. 1lb is very modest under the circumstances

If you've already got your dress I would advocate caution here..... 1.5 stone will change your shape......you need to speak to your dressmaker/shop to make sure your dress can be adjusted 2-3 sizes easily. Good luck x

It's a beautiful day,cut yourself a break and go for a walk....it will help you distress I'm sure

I have a lovely SW leader, but group is boring! I hate the great week what are you committing to for next week repetitive questions. It's worse since the brought in the hand heldsas I think the Leaders have less scope to deviate. Shame

I'm really struggling this week. Side effects of meds and lack of exercise :(

Thanks blessings. I have managed to drive 3 miles today which is a huge improvement. How was crufts? I used to like going and watching the agility. I used to do agility with my little dog but it's on a Friday night and frankly I have better things to do with my time! Miss it though

Thanks Orla. Sounds like you'll soon be off! :)

Wow!

I'm struggling this week....been 100% but had car crash on Monday and have been immobile as a result. Gutted because I was exercising well. My hubby busy making me a free curry, he's an angel but been on scales already and they are showing a gain. WI Monday

Bye and well done

Hello! 10 kg is about a stone and a half? That's great, well done x

Oh dear we all sound a bit low this week. Im improving. I'm pleased that I have stuck with the eating plan this week and feel really quite proud. I'm going to potter around today and catch up with some chores hopefully. I may also paint my nails as a treat......what are you doing to treat...

I put garlic and chilli in mine and despite not liking beans much I really like this soup: speed soup By Rachel Shirley on Tuesday, 13 March 2012 at 11:49 ?1 can mixed bean salad 1 can of green lentils 1 can baked beans Hand full of split beans 2 large leeks 1 large onions 4 medium carrots 2...
