Just an update, lost a total of 14 stone 5.5 lbs, and I got my target 9th September 2016 and I just decided to lower it to get my 14 and a half shiney haha ;) Hope that you're all well x

Lol Denn :) How are you doing? x

Well done! :) And if I can help at all I'm happy to do so.. My no #1 rule is when placing an online shop and you know you ordered your OH fresh white buns, don't open that bag or one will fall in your mouth. That's this mornings oops lol.

Thank you :) How are you both doing?

It depends how big the group is, but roughly 1.5 hours I would say. Group 1 for us starts at 5:30, weigh shuts at 6 but because of having so many members can run to 6:10pm. Then image therapy is about an hour. Group 2 starts at 7:30pm for weigh, When I attended that one it ended 8:45pm as...

Apologies again for not updating as of late.. Honestly I find it hard to remember. :( Updates though.. I've now lost 12 stone 10 lbs and I'm just 3lbs away from losing 50% of my initial weight.. :) Planning on target for August which is either 11st 12lbs or 11st 5lbs. I may even go further...

I'm so awful at updating.. seriously keep forgetting! Sorry! Hope you're all well? xx

Thank you. Well done to you too xx

You can do it xx

2lbs off bringing me to a total loss of 11 stone 13 lbs

Sorry for not updating lately. Honestly I've just forgotten to update. So zonked out with meds lately it's unreal haha. So, I got greatest loser 2016 yesterday and now have a total loss of 11 stone 13 lbs :)

Aww bless you! Hope you find them soon. Have you tried asda? :) And yeah I'm better. I ate a handful of flu pills and killed it before it started properly :) Here's a pic of yesterday's food. Total 10 syns

The only HeB wraps I know of are the WW ones and bFree. You get a choice of cardboard or plastic. :P Personally I prefer cardboard. Have you tried dampening the WW ones slightly and then microwaving them? Far nicer that way. :) Otherwise the soft taco shells from old el paso are 100 calories...

Haha :) well I hope you like them! Yesterday was a bit of a weird day food wise. I didn't really eat much. B: Orange L : nothing D: Bowl of cereal. I feel all coughy today so it would explain why I didn't feel like eating yesterday :) Today; B: Full english - Toast (b) butter (2) sausage (2)...

Hope you both like them, they're lush. I even syn some butter and it's so yummy! Only 1 is a b choice though :(

Weight watchers petit pains.. they're a quid for a pack of 4 in tesco at the moment :) and you have to cook them in the oven which makes them feel even naughtier!

Hiya how are you doing? xx

Photo of dinner :)

Welcome to my diary :) B: Apple and orange L : Pasta salad D : Sloppy joes with healthy B roll (may have 2 rolls and syn one. It's still cooking.) Hope you're all well :)

2lbs off this week getting me my 11 and a half stone award :)

Thank you :) xx

Thank you xx

(This update will be on my Food diary as well, Will just copy it over.) So, I am feeling a bit better with the Fibro diagnosis. I've researched it a lot and losing weight will only help, so I'm more determined than ever. :) Also I got the referral through for my physio.. Bloody quick! It's on...

Keeping this up to date now..!! B: Bowl of frosties (I had to have them lol) 6 syns L : Banana and apple (wasn't overly hungry) D : Batchelors rice (half a pack - extra veg. Mixed frozen cauli, broccoli, carrots, peas, green beans) with a chicken stir fry - Chicken onion garlic peppers chilli...

2lbs down! :)

2 off this week :) Will do a proper reply tomorrow. It's customer service car insurance. Typing is what makes it difficult x

Do you have all of the nutritional info? Will put it in the calculator for you.

Weigh in tomorrow. Not feeling as hopeful as * week just started also chocolate fell into my mouth yesterday...

Thank you. :) Scales so far this week are hinting that I will get my goal for next tuesday.. hehe.

Hiya how are you doing? Don't worry about when you have a difficult time, we all have them. :) Just draw a line and try to relax. Hopefully everything will fall in place for you soon x

Hi Sweetie sorry for not popping in lately! You're doing so well with your weight loss, and I just want to say a big congratulations to you for it. :) How was your birthday yesterday? xx

I may be up for it depending on where. I live east kent though so quite far from anyone else I bet!

lol :) Must say I've had a hectic time lately which is why I didn't post much lately.. I've been having bad joint pains since october and finally got a diagnosis :/ It's life long so I've been a bit down in the dumps lol. Need to get properly back on track now though :)

Lol sorry for disappearing.. Been a bit hetic here lately. So, lately I've been having very bad joint pains, and my hands and feet are really swollen. This has been going on since october. I finally got a diagnosis though.. Fibromyaglia :/ I must admit I've been finding it hard since finding...

Oops, I've been bad at updating! Last week was STS and this week minus 3.5 :)

Thank you :)

Sorry for not popping in lately, I kinda avoided mini's when I went off plan! Don't worry about your off plan day. If it helps I remember my first * week after going on plan... That was 6 krispy kremes one day :P Not good lol! What I find helps me is big stodgy meals that are syn free so I can...

Don't worry about being off plan whilst moving, moving house is very stressful! Must say I'm jealous of your sausages lol :) Hope you're well x

Hope you're well x

Hiya :) Sorry for not updating lately, must be honest and say I went off plan last week after not weighing tuesday last week. However this tuesday I came in with a 2lb loss so the few SP meals I had seem to have helped, lol! Hope you're all well :)

Hiya :) Sorry for not updating lately, must be honest and say I went off plan last week after not weighing tuesday last week. However this tuesday I came in with a 2lb loss so the few SP meals I had seem to have helped, lol! Hope you're all well :)

Well done! And congrats on your new cert :D Well done :D

Aww bless how adorable! :)

great ideas :) Thank you!

Potatoes are amazing! I've been eating them like mad lately haha. And good idea with trying new recipes. :) I may try that this week.. Hopefully cooking chinese tomorrow so I will make sure to do lots of veggy things as well :D (Chinese may be thursday though depending on OH's sister as she...

Aww bless you, I'm sorry for your loss :( 16 is a great age though! I have 2 collie monsters haha :) Would love to see pics of your 4 monsters! :D

Speed protein. Half of your plate has to be speed, half protein. No free foods, still have 15 syns, 1 a and 2 b choices. :) It's supposed to be great for weight loss.

I have, but I gained on it. I'm thinking one SP meal a day or so? I know it will still only be one B choice, but that's how I seem to lose best. :) I also need to get back to adding more speedy things to my foods. I'm getting too relaxed with just eating free, lol!

Haha B&J is too yummy! Even more so if it's cookie dough. And the noodles weren't too bad. 4 syns a pot, but there's not much in them and I would have wanted far more to eat. :/

Slight heads up that I may not weigh today. The car isn't starting so I'm stuck in waiting for the bit all day. Could be delivered as late as 9! If it's here on time I will of course go to group, but if not I won't be able to. Typical haha! * week is still here and sweet tooth from last week...

So, car has broken down today and I'm stuck waiting for the bit to be delivered! Just sent my consultant a text saying I may not be able to attend as it could be delivered as late as 9pm! * week is still here and I was fairly naughty (sweet tooth like mad) last week so I'm sure either way it...

Haha totally just did it x

Aww thank you. :) And wow I love that haha! That's amazing. :D I should use it as my profile pic!

Okay, food today. B : Overnight oats (1.5 muller lights, oats, strawberries, blackberries, rapsberries.) L : Pasta, forgot to take a pic! D : Pizza crisps. Half hea. :) Syns : Home made freshly backed flap jacks, two large pieces, choc shot, golden syrup, B&J ice cream. One with cookie...

Aww bless you. :) You're so sweet, suddenly made me not dread the scales this week haha. (Dreaded TOTM and I've kinda been super naughty syn wise and had two (WHY two????) fresh flap jacks with ice cream on top.. Oh dear.) because we should always look at the bigger picture when there are gains...

No problem. :) Must say deffo cook it off in the beginning. This was the first time I did so and it's also the first time it has held lol. :)

lol thanks :) Pizza is fairly easy tbh, just time consuming. Blitz a cauliflower head in a food processor until you get a couscous like consistency. Grab a good non-stick pan, spray with fry light and put the blitzed cauli in. Fry it for about 10 mins making sure it doesn't catch at all...

Aight, here's food today. :) B/L: Overnight oats : 35g oats (heb) x2 mullerlights, blackberries, raspberries D: Cauliflower pizza : 1 head of a cauliflower, one egg, herbs, salt, pepper. Toppings : Tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, Chicken (seasoned with schwarz chicken seasoning, salt...

Well, OH was all over going to tesco to get one of those home made pizzas haha! My base is getting blitzed now and I'll get it all cooked ready for just doing the toppings tonight :) Blah and just realised I forgot to buy more mixed dried herbs lol!

It was :) Today I spent the morning in bed as it was just far too chilly to get out! I'm now snacking on overnight oats. Why haven't I had these in ages??? I forgot how lovely they are! OH also has some but has 50g oats in his and I seriously wonder if he can finish it as I'm struggling with...

Tea tonight.. Syn free nachos with a veggy dip (tons of frozen veg cooked in chopped tinned toms with chilli stock and some seasoning.) half hea cheese on top as well.

Well done! That's a great loss. :D And Happy (belated) birthday! :D

It was. :) I have no idea what to make myself for tonight.. I've just made OH burgers (pre made probably 5 million syns each) and I just want the same! No mince in so I can't home make my own. :( Otherwise food today has been good: Brunch : English breakfast - Toast (b) bubble and squeak...

You can do it! :D Well done on your 3lb loss :D Ohhh that sounds like fun! I have no idea what to write still, lol :/

Oh and welcome to my diary! :) (no idea why that didn't post earlier, wrote it a good 3h ago lol! Tea tonight was a home made chinese noodles, chicken, tons of veg, hoisin, tomato puree, 5 spics, cilli, ginger, soy.. :)

Confession time.. I did that you all said you would do and kept picking at bits from it! Although I did only go for the lowest synned things.. I still probably went 10 syns over yesterday haha! They're now moved to a bowl on top of the microwave where OH can see them at all times so he can tell...

yep, Iced gems! nom nom... hmmm.. And I didn't have them all at once.. Kinda want to though!

Hello bag of syns, I've missed you!! Lovely end to a long day. :)

Well done LC and Scooter! They're great losses :D I lost half this week which I'm happy with. :) Doing a normal EE week this week. I've had lots of SP meals lately so I hope i'll be fine!

Food today : Breakfast : Banana, Pink Lady Apple, Strawberry mullerlight, lemon tea. Lunch : Sweet chilli chicken - peppers onions garlic chilli splash of diet coke tsp sweetner. mayo (2) With an egg wrap - one egg splash of hea milk. Dinner : Nachos. Potatoes (1), Spicy pork - Peppers onions...

Or not can't see a way to message on here lol! and the arm's fine haha.

Added you. :) And not much. I've been gutting out the kitchen. I had so much crap in there! Found a toastie machine that I thought we left at our old flat.. nearly 2 years ago haha! It won't be long, soon they'll be baggy. :D What are you up to today? :) Oh and I do have whatsapp as well...

Big hugs to you! Well done on your weigh in. You've done really well. :D

Haha I enjoy them, too! I know what you mean brown roll wise. :) I need to get some in actually as I really fancy burgers. I think I'll do them next week though as we just did a massive shop at farm foods (I got vouchers in the post and it's already dirt cheap so I had to!) and I have tons to...

Hmm think I'll just stick to my goal of being at target for christmas this year then. That's far more do-able haha! Any sooner will just be a bonus.. :) So, I just decided to tease the dogs by opening a window when they were in the garden and I just dipped my sleeve in a melted yankee melt...

Fingers crossed. :) I'm half wanting to lose 3st by July.. not sure if it's a bit too much of a goal, but it would be a lovely thing to get to target for my birthday! If not I'll go for it by november.. so, one thing I've not really told many people is my consultant wants me to go for the...

Bless you! Hope it doesn't hurt for long. You'll have to let me know how the Walden Farm products are if you get them. I've been eyeing them up for a bit. I think they're something like 3 tbsp for half a syn or so? Sounds too good to be true! I've actually just ordered some butter buds.. I...

Thank you :)

Yeah I saw lol :) Half a pound off this week. * week so I'm very happy!

They are! :) I like my banana ones more though. Hmmm.

Aww bless you, you're so sweet! Welcome to my diary :) Weigh in went better than planned. Lost half a pound. * week so I'm over the moon! Dinner tonight was a trip to the chippie. However I was good! Took the batter off my cod, had a pickled egg, and pinched about 10 of Sids chips so...

Hope your bottom feels better soon! Fingers crossed they get back to you soon with great news :D Syn wise (I can't find the pic but found the info lol) You go down to 20 when you hit 20 stone. :) (at your rate that won't be long. :D ) The special K porridge is 5.5 syns for the 30g sachet, just...

Thank you. :) Weigh in is today.. Dreading it! TOTM decided to make a show with perfect timing and I just feel so bloated. Blah! Guess it explains why I felt so grumpy yesterday haha. B: Banana muffins and apples. (3 syns) L : Batchelors pasta with some veggies. D: Not sure yet. Will be after WI.

Those are the muffins I was on about.. 35g oats (heb) one egg, and one of the muller light bluberry yoghurt (greek style I think. They're half a syn each) and a tbsp of sweetener. Mix all the ingredients together, pour in muffin cases in a baking tray, bake for 30 mins on 180. Easy. :) I'm...

Hi Lucie! Only just found your diary lol :) Just wanted to say well done on your first week! 11lbs is amazing! I had a watch through your video and I thought I would slightly help a bit. With the special k porridge only the 27g sachet blueberry and cranberry is your b choice. If you're...

B: All bran with a strawberry mullerlight and a banana L : Veggy Gnocchi (only managed half) D: Batchelors pasta (no speedy oops lol)

Haha may take a while to read through! Thank you :)

Honestly I was going to use this one as an exercise log but I got lazy on the end thought it would be easier jotting my weekly losses in one place :) Welcome to my diaries Lucie :) I'm sure that you'll do well with your loss! How do you plan to lose? Slimming world?

B: Bowl of all bran (hexb) milk (hea) L/D : Pub roast (Sids parents are down) normally it's good syn wise, only syns are the yorkie, gravy and skin if I have the roast chicken. As I'm not using any ohter syns today I should be okay. :) Snacks will be fruit in case I get hungry (pub lunch is at...

one food diary one weight loss diary lol! :) x

Haha thank you :) Yeah I dyed my hair a few days ago. Looks far more purple In person! This is the one I have http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00ABBR7GI/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_79_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41MQQNIKkzL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL115_SR115,115_&refRID=0KYQ2A553EA2PAHTSW0E

Haha Thank you :)

I can't find it on the app so I would assume that you can't use it as your b choice, sorry x

You look great! :)

tea was some chicken strips. Not much really! I've taken new comparison pics as well

Updated pics :

Was wondering why I couldn't find your diary and then realised you've made a new one! Hiiii.

Thank you. :) Brunch today was an English breakfast. Beans, Toast (heb) butter (2) mushrooms, bubble and squeak, one sausage (3), bacon, one hash brown (2). Not sure what tea tonight will be, yet. Deffo don't fancy anything now after such a large meal!

Nah didn't take a photo :( Just went back to the 27th in my drop box and no onion bahji's. Sorry! Dinner tonight: Fish and chips! Chips made in the tefal air fryer, cod syn free, fried eggs (2) (didn't have any pickled!) garden peas, cheese (3) I was really close to going to the chippy!

Ohh it was literally just grated sweet potato, finely sliced onion (soften in a pan with fry light). Then I chucked the grated sweet potato and softened onion in a bowl, added a small egg, mixed herbs and curry powder (make sure it's syn free as some have syns) roll into balls and bake on 180...

Weighed myself this morning and my scales said 14st 13.5lbs. I know my scales do over-weigh a bit compared to SW scales, but for now I shall pretend that It's 1.5 on from my last weigh in (although realistically it's probably maintain or half on) I also got my hair done today and it's purple...

Time to get my food diary properly back and up and running! B: Apple, Banana and a cup of tea (part hea.) L: Stirfry chicken with peppers, onions, garlic and chili. And a side of Butternut squash chips. Not sure what's for dinner, yet. Syns so far is 8 used on chocolate. Nomnomnom. A photo...

I even do roasted potatoes in mine, it's great! Have had my tefal one for ages now :)

Aww Thanks :D

Thank you :D

That sexiness!

Good luck with keeping your boobs, moo! Yeah skin reduction surgery is something that I have thought of. I think that I will need it :/ I hope I won't need it, though. So, weigh in on Tuesday was a 3.5 lb loss and my 11 stone award! (I only needed 1lb for the 10.5 last week so i was half way...

Thank you :) I actually lost a further 3.5 this week and got my 11st lol. I've been strict lately so going to relax for a bit now and have a gain next week! Well done Jilvis :)

Ohh btw SW scan bran carrot cake I've been thinking might be nice? The scan bran cake texture is already similar to that of a carrot cake in my opinion so it could work out well? I quite like the lemon drizzle cake. I much prefer going to a bakery and getting a proper one though. Lol. :D

The mushy pea curry is lush, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! and bless you, you're a sweetie :)

Oh dear I've just given in to cheesey chips, sid's out getting them now! I'm seriously hoping some stodge will help my tummy. Okie Moo will do :) I was thinking of linking my old one in a new one but I'm sure people will still pop by either way.. I guess it also means that I can look back on...

Aw thanks :) yeah must be. I think I picked it up from my partners nieces over christmas as they were also recently ill. Not a christmas pressie I wanted haha On a down or up side for today, I had to buy new bras. I'm now a 36 b.. down side is I was a 42DD when I started! I wonder how much...

I agree 5 stone is an amazing loss :) Soon you'll be back to losing like you did before. I was always so jealous of all your losses lol! And thank you :) Sounds like an eventful year for you. I hope that everything will go to plan! Just think that if you still go to SW when you have a baby...

hehe :) I've got a bit of a tummy bug so I'll make a new one when I'm better. I've not really been eating much lately with how ill I feel (and anything I do seems to come up blah.) so there's no point making one now! On the plus side may mean a good loss.. haha.. I've been having things I...

I did have another thread for my food diary but must be honest and admit I've not been updating it.. I may make a new one since I think most of my old subscribers aren't on here any more :/ New thread new start maybe? :)

Try Debenhams. I've been buying undies there since I was a size 24-26. Sainsburys I find do some nice plus sized clothing. Unfortunately I can't justify buying clothes from debenhams apart from undies with how dear it is! May look in the sales now, though... Plus sized facebook pages have...

oh there were also carrots lol :)

Must say I had a few SP meals either side of christmas day to help compensate.. I don't ever do SP days though as I love pasta too much! Christmas day was a few lindt balls for breakfast, malteaser chocolate and galaxy choc out of the celebrations tin (only the 2) paté on toast (2 slices) with...

Hiya!!

Thank you. :) Must say it was a lovely christmas pressie lol!

Hi Jo, Just wanted to pop in to subscribe and wish you well. :) One thing I personally find useful is drinking about a pint or so of water half an hour before each meal. I'm one of those people that also never really feels full and this is one thing that has helped me to feel full whilst I eat...

Hi Moo :) Food looks good as always! How have you been? How's the hubby? Hope you are well. xx

I lost 4.5lbs for last tuesday, got my 10 and a half stone award, sotw and sotm. :) How's everyone doing?

Aww thanks guys! :D I'm over the moon lol :) I wonder if I can get in the 14's next week.. that's 2lbs to lose, but I'm not doing anything over new years! (Dogs and fireworks means staying in and comforting them.) How are you all doing? :)

4.5lbs loss this week :)

Aww thank you both :) Hope that you also have a lovely christmas and new year! :D

updated front page with weekly losses. That was fun! haha.

Aww you can do it :) Must say my partner no longer does SW. He just wasn't sticking to plan lol. Oh well. :) And I have actually won miss slinky twice now, lol! here's the differences between winning it last year and this year : I need to do new weight loss pics lol!

hello hello :) Need to start updating again lol :) today : Brunch : 3 heck chicken sausages (1.5) 2 fried eggs (2) x2 slices of wholemeal bread (heb) beans, mushrooms (1, slight drizzle of oil.) butter (3) Bite of a cookie (2) advent calendar choc (1) Eep already on 9.5 syns. Haha. Good...

Ohh I didn't look back to see if people kept posting lol! Hello again :D Current loss is now 10st 6lb.. Typical I'm 1lb away! Maybe this is a hint to be good over christmas? haha! Is minis more active again now? It's nice to see people here again :)

Thanks! :) Just packing the last bits now and getting ready to leave, so I'll see you all in 8 days! Although if I can hjack my parents Wifi I'll pop in before, lol. ;) Got my camera all packed as well.. Phone takes better photos though but it's in case it runs out of battery haha. :) My...

You can do it! xx

Yay well done!!! I'm so happy for you!!!

It will be on and more! Leaving Sunday for holiday lol!

If anything it says I've gained 4lbs.. But my tummy hurts so I think * week is starting.. Perfect timing!! (although I did have a small bit of pizza yesterday. Oops. Hehe)

I bought tons of colemans mustard powder when I saw them reduced.. haha.. I think it was less than a pound a tin! was a while ago though

haha I do have some mustard powder in :) I also have the heating on! It's pouring down here and I need to get a ton of wash done by the weekend..!! All the heaters will be covered lol.

lol I was like that when I started drinking more.. OH thought I was pregnant haha!

Thank you :D

Popping in to subscribe. :) x

I have blackcurrant ones in.. lol :)

Haha I agree! I loved the cheese! I think it needs a good 15 min instead of 10 under the oven though with the cheese. But that's my preference :)

Ohh I'll have to pick some up then. :D and yeah my favourite is just free, as well! Grapes and bananas lol! But yeah deffo far healthier than a bacon buttie :) (Although you can still have that on SW, x2 pieces of brown bread from a 400g loaf and cut the fat off the bacon, or if you leave the...

Oh and my scales are showing at 18st 5.5 (they're 1.5 wrong) so this means 18st 4.. which so far gives me a pound to play with for my holiday! I may do a huge pot of speedy veg soup for tea tonight. Or maybe just lunch.. Too much veg doesn't agree with my tummy and I'm getting my hair done...

Oh and what are those hoola hoops like? I'm tempted to buy them but I have no idea if they will be as satisfying as the normal ones..

If it helps at just before 7st I had a 14" loss around at most important places, so it's probably 2" for every stone. If you're like me :P I do walk the dogs a lot though (which could be why my hips always have the best loss) haha! My hips will stop soon, though. :( Have you been to group yet...

They're 2 syns each according to app, but the calories are so close to 2.5 that I prefer to play it safe and syn them at 2.5 instead. :) (Unless I want that extra half a syn and cheat, lol!!) Your Coleslaw sounds amazing! I may have to copy you :D Other food also sounds good.. hmmm.. I Want...

Exciting times! You'll have to let us know how it went :D What pets do you have?

Made me laugh :D Sounds exactly like something I would do, lol! I hope you enjoy the chilli!! :D

Thank you :D I must say I deffo feel like I'm having a lot of luck as of late! I can't believe that it's all finally starting to go to plan.. I must say with SW I've found a new sense of confidence with everything so I doubt I would have got the job otherwise! And the job is a Customer...

Just got a call from Saga.. if I pass their checks I have the job!!!!!!!!

SW seem to have got a bit weird with copyright info as of late, no idea why :/ Oh well.. Next time i'll just type out the recipe can't hurt then lol x

I got told off for sharing the recipe on a diff thread on here before so I'm just going to link to a non sw-page it's on that's allowed.. :P It's the nacho feast thingie in the mag, it's the one with the woman in a yellow dress on the front (Too far away for me to grab and I just got in and I'm...

yay! Well done! I'm so happy for you. :D What's "salmon light lunch"? (I'm trying to find some nice salmon recipes lol) I may have to copy you with the kindle walking.. Never would have thought of that!

2.5 off for me getting me my 7.5st award :)

Well done on your 3.8! So happy for you! :D I lost 2.5 this week getting my 7.5st award. :) 13 May 2015 Joanne - pledged 56lbs - lost 18.0lbs Autumn500 - pledged 42.5lbs - lost 11lbs (31.5lbs to go) CatA - pledged 56lbs - lost 17.6lbs Jimbob12345 - pledged 50lbs - lost 7.5 Hoz - pledged...

Thank you :D

Well done on your pound off! :D I wouldn't be able to have ice cream in my house. It would all go. However the low syn stuff is happy to sit in the freezer.. I've had some mini twisters since last summer because when I'm in an ice cream mood i go out and buy a cornetto instead! I also really...

I wish that I had your will power, lol :D

How did you do? xx

Hmm.. Green tea maybe? Hopefully the bloating will go by tomorrow :(

hehe, thank you. :) Must say I feel really in the zone right now! I hope that my holiday won't ruin it too much haha

Take a laxative tonight.. Sometimes I need that extra bit of help to poop when I have too much fibre! I was the opposite when I started... Glued to the loo haha!

Thank you. :) Mini's was down for me yesterday so I couldn't update lol..! Down 2.5lbs so I just got my 7.5st award! yay!

Haha, that's why I bought 2 tubes, as I knew mine would eye it up! and good idea about making it green :) I didn't even think of that

Haha I was thinking of having a veggy soup for breakfast.. I'm glad that I'm not the only weird one ;) and yeah I think having the extra syns does deffo help. Or it has helped me a lot! I tend to stick to 15 but not worry if I have that one bite of chocolate I don't count as it will still be...

haha :) It is lovely you should make it! xx

ohh looks yum x

I never realised you had a diary lol! When I last checked (last year. *cough* ) you didn't have one lol! So yeah, popping in to sub :D I'm looking forwards to hearing how you're doing. :)

50 johnnys, the pill, implant, both coils... Should be protection enough. :P But yeah I know how you feel to feel scared about that! Just make sure you always use protection and if you ever have the runs or feel slightly sick use johnnys for a week. That's what my sexual health adviser said to...

Haha it could be! I can't stand how bitter it is. :( Maybe it would be okay in a fruit salad though.. and it's in asda and tescos. :) Hopefully you'll find it! It tastes like nacho cheese I think.

it works out as 1.5 syns each if you count it as your healthy A as well. :) otherwise it's about 7.75 syns if you syn half. good luck being carb free!

the first day of my totm I normally always gain 5lbs :/ I have called in a holiday day when WI landed on the first day of it before lol! But yeah hopefully uni scales are wrong. :) Food sounds good like always! I hope that your toe will be better soon. I'm about to do some body magic myself...

Dinner. :)

Good luck, Jane! The first is always the scariest I find. :) I haven't updated here in a while lol. Lost 6.5 last week and got my 7st :) Hoping for my 7.5 next tuesday x

Edited for copyright reasons. :)

I hate grapefruit, it's so bitter lol!

I added you as a friend so I can add you to the group lol It's just called Scan bran recipes though.. has 10k members x

Lunch ended up being pasta with a speedy sauce; Chicken, Onions, Garlic, Peppers, Mushrooms, Fresh tomatoes, celery, spring onions, tinned toms. There's something I'm forgetting as well, lol!

Snow, I just added you to a scan bran group on fb in case there are any other cakes you want to try lol ;) x

Right, need to start logging my food again. :) B: x2 choc hifi bars (heb) L: Unsure D: SW Nacho thingiemabob from the mag (Will post a photo when it is done) will be 1.5 syns per portion as I couldn't find the light cheese. Syns : milk : 5. (Over synning in case i make my normal amount of...

Blimey! I hate how expensive it is as well. :/ Fair enough paying for their time, but still I think closer to the £40 mark would be nicer than £53 lol. :P And I can't get a mobile one because the dogs are overly friendly lol! They would end up covered in dye as well :D And thanks for the...

I wonder if that's why any scan bran cakes I've made have been dry, I've never through of putting yoghurt in them? I'll have to give the coffee cake a try or even make it for group on our next taster. :) I don't think I'll be able to make your chocolate raspberry one as I will eat the whole...

Thanks Lisa :D And it is nice to be that much smaller lol! Just need to keep on trying I think. :) And yes I am proud.. It is most deffo worth it! :) Scales today said 18st 6.6lbs and they're 1.5lbs wrong (heavier) so it looks like I may be getting my 7.5st next week... I shouldn't keep...

it probably could. :) I'll let you know if I find it. If it's not in asda I'm gunna drag OH everywhere lol!

I never thought it could be a reason either until I was actually logging everything I ate and noticed a pattern lol!

Ohh I didn't see that in the mag! Probably because OH distracted me whilst I was looking in it lol. I will deffo have to make it, it looks lush. :D Edit : Just found it and he has asked to have it for dinner tomorrow.. Score, lol ;)

Have you tried bulking food up with more speedy foods? and are you sure that your portions are big enough and that you're drinking enough? :) Also is it close to your TOTM at all? as I always find that I feel the need to eat more when it's my time of the month :)

I know how hard it is to resist ben and jerrys! I only let myself have it when I'm ill and can't stomach anything else as I also can't stop lol! I would say just write off yesterday and try to stay on plan today :) That favour sounds absolutely lush!

Thank you, Ladies!! :D Lol Rocking the collar bones.. made me giggle! :o I actually really like them! I'm half glad it looks so nice.. Maybe I'll have to start wearing bronzer there ;) lol!! Yeah Rosie I also don't like too boney but I do like collar bones.. I just hope that I don't get...

Than you! :) x Good idea to do them on your birthday! Mine's also in July lol :D But yeah that's a good idea to keep yourself motivated. :) I may have to copy you lol :D

Just took some weight loss pics for you guys.. I just washed my hair so forgive it looking like a mess lol! Befores; (forgive the mess in them, lol!) Currents; I need to invest in smaller clothes, this top is way too big now, lol! Also forgive my face I was trying not to laugh at OH...

Thank you :) Haha I guess I will burn off a few calories like so later, Lisa ;) Ofc we both mean playing scrabble! ;) In the end got the fake takeaway stuff which isn't too bad syn wise. Using the last of my syns on a lollipop right now and there's a jam rolly polly for my syns tomo.. yum...

you'll probably be on 25, and it will go down to 20 when you get under 25st I think. :) Food is looking great! and yay for your loss! So proud of you :D !!

take aways are good imo ;) haha OH has been working away all week which is why we may have a take away. I think i'll cooka roast for sunday though :)

Must say I am! :D Scales at home so far show a 1lb loss so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 2 in total off by tuesday. :D Although we may be having naughty food this weekend. Oops. Lol. (Pizza and all)

That's not a bad gain at all. :D I bet you'll have a great loss next week x

Aww thank you ladies. :D And you're sweet! I may think about being a consultant when I'm closer to target actually.. I would be dead nervous first time though! lol! Progress pics will come this weekend.. OH is working away until tomo so no one to take them of me lol! I feel really in the...

Hi and welcome! :D

Haven't updated myself in ages.. oops, lol! Since I've passed my goal I've upped it. :) Down 26lbs so far this year. :) Updated Tue 6th May Joanne - pledged 56lbs - lost 18.0lbs Autumn500 - pledged 42.5lbs - lost 11lbs (31.5lbs to go) CatA - pledged 56lbs - lost 17.6lbs Jimbob12345 -...

If you get one make sure you get one with a decent padded seat. :) (I made that mistake with an exercise bike!)

Hiya, how did you do with your WI yesterday? :)

I'm sure you can! :D Just think, if you do the same as me you'll lose 7 stone in a year. :) Wouldn't that be amazing? It wouldn't take you long to get to target at all :) xx

Only went and lost 6.5lbs this week! :D

Hi and welcome! :) xx

Deffo! lol. They're so lush.. and like 17 syns each!! Cheese, Chocolate, Wine.. I shan't hold back! :D

They're addictive! I've been wanting more since I had some lol! Maybe I'll pre-pack some before we leave for our holiday.. I am giving myself a stones allowance for that holiday after all lol!

how did it go at group? :)

Yesterdays food was a mushroom risotto and burgers for tea.. Have taken a photo of the risotto, will upload it when my computer works better! I also managed to eat a few krispy kreme doughnuts.. oops. :( Breakfast today was a full english, with one sausage (however I passed that on the OH)...

I love how planned you are! :) I need to take a leaf out of your book :D I had the opposite when I joined SW, I was glued to the bog! Lol! Although i never ate fruit before and I had a ton of it my first week.. haha! and 1lb off is good. :) Green/peppermint tea can help naturally for you to...

Oh forgot to say that tea tonight was batchelors rice.. I was gunna just have some fruit but I saw it on the shelf and grabbed it lol! Syn free as it's the old one.. I stocked up a bit lol :)

Haha, if I can get staff discount I will for you ;)

Haha! Everyone keeps saying that to me :D They do pretty much everything now! Their office is huge! And so friendly there as well.

You can do it! :D

get a yummy bottle of robinsons to make squash with, if it's the sugar free one it's syn free. the apple is my fave, tastes so sweet and it really hits the spot for me. and fair enough if you're snacking on it inbetween :D I hope youi'll have a nice surprise when you join x

Thanks. :) In the end had 1/4 of a muffin so i'll round that to 4 syns, two small nibbles of some other chocolate thing (can you tell it's * week and he's trying to keep me happy?) so will do that up to 6... a bite of his buttie so will say 8 to be safe.. so 18/20 syns. I may just not have any...

Well done on your current loss! I bet that you feel amazing! :) You'll be in the size 14's in no time! xx

Did you join a group in the end? Otherwise food is looking good but I think you might need a little more food! Breakfast and lunch both look small. Also maybe try adding a bit more speedy? Like an apple with your lunch or so? Also try to weigh only once a week. Or if you find that hard twice...

Thank you :).. hehe.. I've decided I need to kick my arse back into gear! On about 10 syns so far.. Also OH just bought 2 large cupcakes that I've worked out as 15 syns each... Maybe a nibble? They look so lush. Mouthgasm alert! Lol! Munching on an apple now to try kill the sugar cravings...

Well done! So proud of you. :)

Also, I've set myself a goal of 1.5lbs to lose this week. :) I'm starting to heal now so I'm going to chance walking the dogs again as of tomorrow - it should help with getting extra off! But 1.5 is so I can say I've lost 7 stone in a year of SW... never thought this would ever happen! Just 1...

Thank you. :) And hiya Binky :D So, I forgot to mention I passed to the next interview stage at Saga (It's the last one I think) so I'm very nervous today..!! Got bolognese cooking for lunch right now.. Not had any breakfast as of yet as I feel too nervous to eat lol!

1 Off.. Very happy with that as I was expecting a huge gain!

Right, I've decided I'm going to list EVERYTHING (eep!) that passes my lips. :) So far today; Can of diet coke, cup of tea (milk hea) 2 small apples. -- Another cup of tea, 2 cans of diet coke, batchelors rice (syn free) peppers, onions, garlic, one third of a steak.

Big hugs Snow! Focus on the positives, you've still lost 4st! That's amazing. :) Seeing how positive and up beat you are is motivating me to get back on track. You're amazing. xx

Food is looking good! Will you be home making the coq au vin? If you are here's a recipe i just found by googling (Had no idea what it was and I got curious! It looks super lush.) and it mentions the syns in it as well which is helpful. :)...

Oops. Cheesy garlic bread fell in my mouth. So did 2 packs of crisps. But due to being ill it all then fell down the loo.... On the plus side job interview next week. :)

Good luck, you can do it! :)

Thank you :) Scales are saying 19st on the dot so I'm happy with that. I'm also wearing more clothing than normal so more reason to be happy haha! so far haven't eaten today. I'm feeling ill so not overly hungry.. Wouldn't turn down ice cream though lol!

Have booked holiday days for the past two weeks. I have had a lot going on irl that I have needed to sort out. :/ I also need to get back on plan as I haven't been focused at all on SW much lately. Scales hover at the end of 18st though so I may have somehow lost with being naughty! (Althoguh...

Good luck for today! :) xx

Thank you! :)

Hiya, sorry for not posing much lately.. I had a horrible month last month, with sts and gains. I do have an idea for why but I don't wanna publicly post about it until I've gone through all the options. Nothing dangerous to my health though. :) However over the past 2 weeks I lost 7.5 lbs...

Congrats on your 8st NM! So happy for you! :D And thanks everyone. I'm still grinning lol. Must say I deffo feel better with having lost the weight. :)

Yay well done! I'm so happy for you!

If you have a take away have it after wi then you have a week to work it off :D lol

Oh and thank you all :D

Here's another near starter photo and one taken this morning. Haven't posted this near starter one before because you can really see my shape in it.. I hate it so much :/

How did you do? :)

3.5 off and greatest looser :) looking at that photo and I have realised I really need smaller clothes!
