OK, feeling a bit more alive this evening, have been useless all day. I couldn't stand the thought of not getting my steps so Judy dragged my corpse like self around the block a few times in the pouring rain! Crazy but kind of feel better for keeping up my 100% record this year. Food has been...

Today was always going to be tricky I had to take the day off to look after Austin as he was sick on Sunday so childminders, quite rightly, won't have him till tomorrow. I'm rubbish when I am home all day, although we did go for a walk to get my steps up, unfortunately we walked straight to a...

Day done. Food awful. Austin has been poorly today so most of the day has been use cuddling on the sofa and me clearing up vomit. Fun times. I'm not good inside all day, bored eating is very common around here! I made sure I did my steps though so I'm pleased that really does seem to be...

Sorry you're poorly, that must make that a million times harder!

Hi, I have had my fitbit for a while but this time around it's really helping me to keep focused on moving more. Can't bear the thought of not keeping up the 10,000 😂 Food on the other hand is always a struggle. Not going to group at the moment, have been to both of my local ones and really...

Good evening everyone - I say that like people read this 😂 I wonder if anyone does? Terrible day today, was out last night and as you can see didn't get enough sleep so today was just a battle from start to almost finish. I am so much worse when I am tired. I have been doing my steps though...

Thank goodness it's Thursday! I don't work Fridays so the weekend starts here. Today was OK til this evening when I have slipped a bit as Mr J is out and cos I've been bored I've dipped into the chocolate stash. It's these habits that I desperately want to break but haven't managed it yet...

Hello all, I hope you have had a nice Sunday. Boring day here today, was in Ikea most of the morning with mil and sil and far too many children - not my idea of fun at all! Think I'm all set to jump on the wagon tomorrow, meal plan and shop for the week are all done. Homemade soup is chilling...

Saturday done. Busy day as always, tried out a new football class for Austin which was a disaster. Then we went to soft play and this afternoon pretty much just hung out at home. So pleased with my steps and I hadn't done all the floors tonight so just ran up and down the stairs a few times...

What a lovely day! Austin's first trip into London. We went to the natural history and science museums.He was such a good boy and walked everywhere, he has such good stamina for walking! I had a bit of a tantrum with Mr J over steps, we had a pretty much identical day but his fitbit was showing...

Back to work.. Well kind of, quite a rubbish conference on writing. On the train now heading home. Should be back in time to pick the boy up which will be nice as I left before he was even awake this morning. Food has been OK and currently on 6,000 steps so will have to pound the pavements for a...

Last day of the holidays-not that it really matters as I don't work Fridays so it's only one day. We joined the national trust today should give us lots of reasons to be out and about, I really want Austin to grow up with a love of the outdoors and being active - not like me!! Food wise bit of...

Another day done..... Loved the film - The greatest showman, really really nice evening out with my friend. I don't do girly nights often enough, more time for me this year! Also managed to do my step target. Happy days - hope you've all had a good day.

Good luck with your weigh in.... Let me know how you get one. Being out of the 18s will be a good start to the year

So weigh in wasn't too bad, 18st 4lbs.... Obviously not great but I have been over 2stone heavier so for me this is not the end of the world. The plan is to get rid of the 4lb by the end of next week not by going crazy but keeping up my 10,000 steps everyday and eating more sensibly. What is...

Here we go again!! No idea what I weigh, not getting on til tomorrow morning and not starting properly until next Monday when I'm back at school. Am feeling quite motivated, done my ten thousand steps today which is good. 2018 has got to be the year I lose this weight, can't keep doing this...

Losing the plot, worse day since I started again. Why is it some days just nothing fills you up!? Or is that just me????? Don't think I'll be able to even remember everything I have eaten today

Hoping I won't need to try this tonight...

Waiting for weigh in time is the hardest part of the whole week and I'm going to the earlier - 5:30 - session tonight. I think I deserve a good lose this week but you never can tell can? Those blooming scales can do funny things sometimes. One and a half hours to go.....least Austin will be...

2.5lbs off tonight - 12.5lbs in total now. I will get that stone next week! So jealous of the friend I go with who lost 6.5lbs tonight (her third week) What would be your top tip for losing a big amount?

Actually maybe this one is more appropriate for me....

Austin is 2 in June - he has never not eaten so today has been a shock. I tried all his favourites. Lollies are a good idea though These little people do like to keep us on our toes dont they!

Thanks, he's normally eating non stop so very odd to be trying to convince him to eat. He went to bed ok - not much that a good night's sleep can't fix Dinner was burgers and they were yum. Had them with onions, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots and green beans. Paul had a roll.....I so could have...

Woo hoo another 3lb off - 10lb in 3 weeks not too shabby. Oh and I got slimmer of the week. Super sad not to get a sticker though?! Could I do 4lb this week? Might as well aim for it. Right?

Dinner: just discovered sun free gravy for our roast....delicious! 1 onion 1 carrot 1 potato 600 mls water 2 beef stock pots Boil til soft then blitz.....even fussy husband was happy to eat it over his normal bisto. Just a bit too salty for my liking but worth saying some syns. We had it...

Happy Sunday everyone Lovely day here so far, my turn for the lie in today so I got to stay in bed til 9:00 - amazing! Paul then took Austin out to do some secret mothers day prep so actually had til 10:30 in total peace and quiet. Bliss. Even had a hot cup of tea....it's the little things...

No second pudding.....managed to resist, brushing my teeth really helps on nights like these. Nothing tastes good after toothpaste.

Peppa pig world is good, well Austin thinks so - he is 2 in June I'll be glad when my fat bum fits in those tiny rides easier!! It's so expensive for one day it's about £30 for all other 1 metre but there is soooooooo much to do. (we popped down there today again) Today feels like it has been...

Tuesday, not a bad day except money...£339 on new brakes, bloody cars. Whenever I get a bit of money into savings something goes wrong. Anyway aside from that food has been OK. My aim was to drink more water and I have done rubbish as that so I'll have to try harder tomorrow with that goal...

Did it!:sw007:

Normal Sunday type day Lie in this morning as it was Paul's turn to deal with Austin - hooray Breakfast: shredded wheat and skimmed milk and raspberries (hea and heb) Lunch: had to eat out so I choose veggie omelette which seemed the most sensible choice Snack: alpen light (3 syns) apple...

OK, back again. This time really back. I rejoined slimming world a couple of weeks ago so back to meetings and doing this properly. I had a good first week and lost 4.5lbs so aiming for 2.5lbs this week - perfectly doable right? Weigh in day is Monday not my favourite but should get to keep...

Argh where does the time go. Can't find the time to get on here! Good news on the scales though another 4lbs this week so 11lb all together so far this year. 3lb this week is the aim but might be asking a bit much. Just cooking dinner will try and write more later. Hope everyone else has had...

Crikey, didn't realise I'd been gone so long. Time flies when you're having fun - except I haven't been having fun, I have just been working non stop!! The scales have been very kind though and if they are to be believed then I have now lost 7lbs which I'm pretty happy with. Can't stop long...

Well done for rejoining, do you stay to the class? My day has been OK, a friend went for her 12 week scan and they couldn't find a heartbeat which just makes me so sad. Dealing with any kind of emotions- happy or sad usually has me reaching for food but stayed on track today mostly. Day...

Oh lovely. All those holidays are a great incentive. Did you walk at lunch? I got given a fitbit last year but it's not motivating me to move more. I've done 7,000 steps today and am sat on my bum doing nothing! Day two food Breakfast: 2 x weetabix and skimmed milk with a drizzle of honey...

Day one Not strictly following slimming world this time around but using some of the meals I used to eat on it. Breakfast: 2 weetabix and skimmed milk Lunch: black pepper ryvita, dairylea, cucumber, tomatoes and ham Snack: apple Dinner: pizza topped chicken and sw chips, broccoli and...

3 hot holidays! You lucky thing, where are you off to? I wish I could go back to class but really don't like my local consultant and don't really have the time or money. Classes really are the best way. Good luck for the rest of the week, maybe the scales on Thursday won't be a mean as you...

So tomorrow is the big day, I have eaten so much rubbish the last few weeks I'm almost looking forward to eating healthily! Meal plan and online shop is all done for the next two weeks. No excuses. How are people doing who have got back on the wagon today?

New years eve 2016/17 So, here we are again, another chance for a fresh start. I have to do it this year, I cannot be so fat and unfit anymore. I need to remind myself I can do this by keeping this diary again as I did so well before. So the plan is simple - eat less crap and exercise when I...

How amazing to have stumbled upon this diary again! I'm in a slightly different place in my life at the moment as I hear my little boy playing downstairs. Going to come back and update more later, just a shame two years have passed and I'm still looking for weight loss inspiration.

Hey all Was brave tonight and went to face the scales, totally expecting a huge gain and in fact I 'only' put half a pound on. I was super chuffed, really felt like I had blown in these last two weeks but turns out I really haven't sooooooooo the plan is to get back on it from tomorrow. It...

Last entry was two days ago.....that says it all really. Food has been terrible, doesn't help we have been away for the weekend at the in laws on the Isle of Wight so had several meals out and no control of food in the house. On top of that I have still been feeling sicky most days and boy oh...

Thanks for the messages, I would like to change cos of the consultant but at the same time I love the other ladies in my group :-/ tricky, cos it's so convenient too. Today has been ok, felt a bit sick on and off but feel like it was a better 'on plan' day even though I woke up at 4:45 and...

Sorry about your gain :-( really sucks, because you totally don't deserve it. Seems silly if it is the weekly syns when you didn't ever go over them!! I'm sure you will get the gain and the 1.5 off this week to smash your club 10. Are you back to daily syns now then?

2lb off this week....some kind of miracle I reckon but I'll take it :-) long may these losses last.....

Thanks miataiblue, I'm not going to tell my consultant for a while yet, doesn't really make sense to yet does it :-) it seems for all my moaning and worrying this week I've done ok as I lost 2lb tonight, really pleased as really didn't want to start gaining just yet! I didn't stay for meeting...

Thanks for the messages ladies, they are keeping me sane....kinda :-/ Another not great/not terrible day, I think I just feel different and I certainly don't feel as focused weight wise as I did last week! Breakfast: 2 Alpen light bars when I could finally face them at about break time...

Terrible day food wise. Have felt rotten all day so just not being trying. Must must must get back on track tomorrow before I really mess this up. Breakfast: 2x toast and flora light Lunch: didn't really happen had cucumber and carrots and 2x cocktail sausages at party. Snack: we got given...

Not a good start to the day......couldn't face the thought of anything dairy-ish this morning so Mullers and weetabix were ruled out and then I went straight for two bits of white toast. Fail! But so nice and it's kinda settled my stomach. I'm thinking if I could manage to have only that as...

oooooo exciting times, when are you going to test? I'll defo have my fingers crossed for you, keep me posted :-)

Thanks for your replies ladies, been feeling a bit nauseous today off and on....another thing thats making me think that I might be further on than I thought? Still expecting blood every time I go to the loo, I'm literally going to drive myself insane. Spending the evening with both our mums...

Twins....haha I told Mr J that and I thought he was going to faint hahaha waiting is already driving me nuts, especially because of January, I just can't imagine this actually happening!! Trying not to think about it is making me think about it even more. Can't win. Tricky day today food wise...

Looks like the weekly syns are going ok? Do think this will be how you 'do syns' from now on?

Well done :-) you are doing amazingly well, you must feel great!

Thanks ladies ....can't quite believe it still. I did a digital test earlier which has come up with 3+ weeks! not totally sure how this fits in with my dates but hey ho. Doctors aren't interested in seeing me until I have missed two periods so i guess it's just time to sit tight and see what the...

So food is done for the day, I feel stuffed, didn't even eat a muller like I had planned. I keep feeling really full after meals even if I haven't eaten loads? Or maybe I am eating loads and don't realise? Anyway this entry is mainly just to talk about my husband so if you're feeling a bit...

4lbs is brill, well done :-) I'll be interested to see how the weekly syns go, I have toyed with the idea but not sure if I would just binge? Good luck for this week :-)

Some good losses again tonight - go Tuesdays!! I lost 1lb but happy with that as it was enough to get me my two stone award. Aiming for more next week!

I think crossing the fingers helped me ladies, I scraped my next award tonight. Lost 1lb and got my 2 stone certificate :-) i don't feel like I did anything really wrong this week but have had a good couple of weeks so guess a low week was gonna happen at some point. In the grand scheme of...

I may have been a been hasty with 'the wall' it kind of looks like a shrine haha oh well.....cleaning kids bedrooms is a whole different ball game, when I was a nanny that was a job I did not enjoy. I used to throw so much stuff away when they were at school :-/ Feeling a bit down today, not...

Helloooooo everyone :-) Hope you are all well and having a fun Saturday night, me and Mr J have been busy. I had the urge to have a change around (like you do) so we have completely changed the spare room around and de cluttered and subsequently the living room then needed sorting because we...

I have eaten sooooooo much today, not great the day before weigh in but it's all on plan stuff. Breakfast: Alpen light and a banana (hexb) Snack: Apple and another Alpen light (hexb) lunch: super late at gone 2 so kinda grabbed whatever was around - spaghetti hoops, wafer thin chicken...

I totally agree with you on the apple pudding....apples like that just do nothing for me....nice idea though :-) I was thinking about your red plates the other day, I read an article that says you consume 40% less if eating off red plates.....were they a conscious choice??

Thanks :-) think I might try the alpro stuff next week, what's the worst that can happen to me! Mr J actually let me buy those medallions you have this week, I think he is getting sucked into slimming world....I used to cut the fat off my bacon and he'd eat that too...he's a changed man haha

You're doing amazing, some fab losses :-) well done :-)

I have two probably quite stupid questions for you!! Firstly when you have your eggs and bacon, how many eggs do you use? And secondly do you just drink the alpro milk? I so want to try it but I just have it in my head that it won't be nice. Question time over :-)

That's food all done for the day then. Had an apple and an Alpen light for a snack (3syns) Dinner was Shepard's pie/cottage pie but instead of mash I did sliced potatoes because I think I tend to go overboard with mash. (About 3 syns for gravy) Pudding was some lovely fresh mango :-) So...

I hope you enjoy the pancakes when you get around to trying them....they are a little odd but look like pancakes and smell like pancakes and that's enough for me :-) I need to give up on my scales too but it's just sooooooooo tempting!

Hey y'all :-) lovely day here so far, even though I've been just school planning for the last two hours - oh the fun! Breakfast was late as expected but totally worth the yummy pancakes, made them with a banana muller and had fresh banana on top - delicious :-) (hexb) lunch: was a normal...

This afternoon I had an apple and Alpen light bar as a snack (hexb) So we had friends round for dinner tonight and we had... Dinner: chicken in a BBQ sauce (about 3 syns if going by the 1 syn= 20calories rule?) sw wedges, peppers, onions and mushrooms Pudding: they had angel delight with...

Food shopping for the week done....spent a bit too much but it's all good stuff :-) Breakfast: banana and custard muller with a banana Lunch: bacon (no visible fat), mushrooms, baked beans, egg and sliced potatoes...yummy yummy....not a third super free but I don't really mind as I'm sure the...

I think you have a really good attitude to it all and I'm sure that's helps more than the food sometimes! At at my ever heaviest I was 20st 8lb and I once lost 6 stone to get to 14st 8lb but can't remember ever being lighter than that as an adult, but you're right, even in the 14's I felt so...

Well done, 4lbs is a fab loss. You will be at target before you know it :-)

:welcome: Good luck on your journey, you'll find loads of support on here and I have found keeping a diary has helped keep me on track :-)

Ooooo might not be my imagination then, super :-)

Haha Mr J has decided to go straight to the angel delight tonight, think he has learnt his lesson.....think I'm more than happy with another orange muller, might overtake the mint one as my favourite :-) That will be a fab nsv when your rings fit again then, it's these kinds of things which...

Morning :-) it's meals like that, that make you realise this is the best way to lose weight! Enjoy :eat:

Did it :-) Dinner- under 500 calories pizza,salad bar with only super free and 7up free.....no pudding, no extra naughty bits even though a really wanted potato salad and bacon bits!! Then at the cinema we got a bottle of water whilst others had chocolate. I don't feel like I have missed...

Home from school before 5......lovely :-) Food so far today has been less than fun but I'm saving myself for my 'light' chicken pizza later....it's under 500 calories so assuming it's going to be about 25 syns?? I don't think that is too bad....? Can I take some syns off for not having hex a...

One step closer to the weekend.....I'm pooped. Breakfast: melon and grapes Snack: Apple and Alpen light bar (3) Lunch: ryvita, cucumber, tomatoes, dairylea and wafer thin ham Snack: grapes Dinner: cod, potatoes, broccoli, carrots and peas and about 2 syns worth of instant cheese sauce...

Thanks ladies, just hope I can keep this up! If I am totally honest though I am finding this relatively 'easy' at the moment (touch wood) I'm eating loads and it's coming off. I feel like I'm beginning to form new habits, in the staff room now I'm never tempted with the multitude of cakes and...

Well done everyone, fab losses this week :-) I lost 4.5lbs and got my stone and a half award and I won slimmer of the week and then I won the raffle....bit embarrassing actually! Two stones gone is in my sight.....

Lost 4.5lbs waaaaaaahoooooooooooooo. Sooooooooo pleased :-) Although slightly embarrassing that I won slimmer or the week and I won the raffle.....super super super pleased. I think I can actually do this :-) just in case you want to know food today looked like this Breakfast: cinnamon...

Added a small meringue nest to my pudding...totally scrumpy for 2 more syns Roll on weigh in tomorrow, I soooooo hope the scale gods are kind. Good luck all you Tuesday weighers.

Another day almost done.... Breakfast: didn't happen Snack: an apple and an Alpen light bar (3.0) Lunch: had it late at about 2:30 - 3 ryvita, dairylea, shed loads of mini plum tomatoes, cucumber and wafer thin chicken (hexa and b) Snack: another Alpen light bar (3.0) Dinner: gammon steak (no...

Hellooooooo everyone :-) feeling very chipper tonight but not really sure why haha Had a teeny snack of an apple before badminton Lunch: was very delayed because I was still uber full so had it at about half three. I had 2x onion ryvita (4 syns) dairylea(hexa) tomatoes, wafer thin ham and...

I do hope I haven't done too much damage....not long till I find out :-) Surprising how quickly Tuesday comes around. Mullers are expensive and I resisted them for a while but the mint one and the bananas and custard one are soooooo good I can't resist them anymore. That sounds like a good...

If you like pancakes they are defo worth a try, think it will take me a couple of goes to perfect them as the thicker ones weren't so nice. Still full though......:-)

Pudding last night I had my 2nd Alpen light with a mint muller and some raspberries - then I had an options hot choc (2) Slow start today so I just had an amazing brunch of 'magic pancakes' oh my they hit the spot! (if you don't know, its oats from hexb with half muller and 2 eggs) I had them...

Hi :-) I'm also trying to lose weight to help us conceive although I'm much heavier than you! We have been trying just over a year and recently found out hubby has 'lazy sperm'. I am currently waiting for a 21 day blood test to see if there is anything 'wrong' with me! We then have an...

Well done on your loss this week...I bet it's really noticeable that you have lost weight, you are doing sooooo well :-) I read somewhere that it's meant to take 8 weeks for friends and family to notice so you're well ahead of the game!

Pretty good day I'd say :) Lunch: 2 egg omelette with no fat bacon, tomatoes, mushroom and the other half of the fajita beans (0.5) Snack: Alpen light bar (hex) Dinner: homemade sweet and sour pork with plain boiled rice, sugar snap peas, peppers and onions (2) i have had lots of tea today...

Back in the zone.... breakfast: muller light, raspberries and blueberries Followed by half an hour on the treadmill scales were even nice to me :-) I think it's gonna be alright :-) happy saturday everyone!

Soooooooo today has been rubbish, totally rubbish and I'm so mad at myself for being so weak but I guess it's too late now. It's the first day in nearly eight weeks where I have totally lost it so just need to accept it and move on!! The day went a bit like this...... Breakfast: grapes - meant...

Thanks, I was doing so well until today! As you'll see when you read my next piece! I find writing everything here normally keeps me in the zone and actually going to group! That is a way to go for you, we live near Southampton so really convenient for the boat. Most of his family live near...

Funny how the tesco one is free....I could eat loads of wafer thin ham, love it! Men do seem to lose weight with minimal effort don't they. Mr Jeffery has lost just over a stone in the same time and eats way more rubbish than me!

Remembered......I went crazy and had a snack pack of cinnamon square things for 5 syns for breakfast :-) Totally not fruit! Haha

I'm lucky that Mr J wants to lose a bit so is 'being good' with me :-) Today has been quite a weird day food wise, I feel out of some habits which is what I was aiming for for just slightly out of my comfort zone. Breakfast: I can't remember! That's pretty bad isn't it? It was some kind of...

Slight change to pudding - I had quark mixed with choc shot (0.5) and a meringue nest (2) and raspberries .......bloody lovely :-) super impressed with Mr J tonight, we have friends coming for dinner on Friday night and he has been researching sw puddings and is going to make a chocolate...

Thanks for the advice :-) I have tried to up my water/squash in take today. I was trying to drink more green tea but just didn't get around to the staff room today to make any hot drinks, that's my aim for tomorrow! So today has been ok and I've been to tesco to get some different things for...

Well done, some really good losses. I lost one and a half which I was a bit disappointed with but hey ho, tomorrow is the start of another week. Really want my stone and a half next week. Any top tips for a super week?

Back from weigh in and lost a poxy 1.5lbs....really disappointed actually but got a plan so just need to get on with the week ahead! Lots of people tonight losing more than me and admitting they weren't fully on plan or having the odd takeaway soooooooo I'm planning on eating more this week! I...

Thanks miataiblue :-) waiting for weigh-in is the worst!! Even tried to be super late from school to make it seems less of a wait. Am walking there again tonight so at least that means I can leave half and hour earlier!! Good luck to everyone weighing in tonight :-)

Monday done - slept really well last night although I woke up needing a wee and it was 5:58.... Two mins before alarm but it felt like the middle of the night! I have felt really hungry all day today and nothing has quite hit the mark.... Breakfast: weetabix, milk and blueberries Snack: Alpen...

I need to become more familiar with the lists so I don't end up bored of having the same things although I love that I have two Aplen lights for 'free' today :-) although running out of lemon ones is quite distressing haha lunch turned out to be the one pan brunch thing with potatoes...

Sunday....lovely, lovely Sunday :-) Really lazy, slow start to the day.....finally got onto the treadmill at 10ish, did ok but nothing record breaking. Trying something new today because after my 'run' and shower I didn't have weetabix for breakfast!! Shocking I know. I had a strawberry muller...

Blood test was fine this morning, the second part is in a few weeks and then hopefully I will find something out, little bit worried if there is something wrong with me and Mr J then we really are gonna struggle to have a little one. Saying that, this week has been so mental at school I don't...

Wow!!!!!! Well done :-) you must be feeling fab!

Ok, I'm feeling more in the zone this morning, went to bed super early last night and feeling much better for it. Dinner last night was sw burger, sw chips, beans and salad. Even though yesterday was a bit all over the place I don't think I actually went over my syns I just didn't like how out...

Super struggling today Breakfast: weetabix and milk Lunch: tummy ache was too bad so didn't eat (start of downfall) Snack: mango after school I got home at 5 absolutely starving and we have nothing in so had another bowl of weetabix and an Alpen light bar.....just want to eat, eat and eat......

Poor hubby's - they always get it in the neck don't they :-)

It's not fun is it, trying to conceive :-( your story is similar to mine, we have been trying a year, early miscarriage in January and nothing since.....hopefully losing weight will help us both :-)

I just don't like feeling like I'm going to binge any second....are you managing to stay on track Patty? Just looking at your signature....you're in the trying to conceive game too? Hope it's going better for you than it is for us!!

Period from hell but I refuse to let it mess up my new healthy eating habits. Was up at 1am with a massive tummy ache so spent the rest of the night 'sleeping' on the sofa which wasn't great. Woke up feeling so tired that I didn't have my usual breakie was worried that would send me in a spiral...

Thanks miataiblue, it's funny how people see the difference in different ways. It's meant to be 10lbs a dress size isn't it? Sooooo not true for me, I'll be a size 20 bottoms for a good while yet! Looks like the mystery period has shown up....rubbish....and it's making me want to eat...

Well done on your loss :-) half a pound is so annoying isn't it! At least you know you will defo get there next week :-) Keep up the good work!

Thanks all :-) Dancemum do you find drinking green tea actually makes much difference? I'm trying to drink a few glasses a day but not sure it's helping or not?

Did it :-) lost 2.5 so got my stone and slimmer of the week....not bad for an evenings work! How's everyone else getting on?

Did it - got my first ( of many) stones :-) lost 2.5 in total and got slimmer of the week :-) Happy days :-)

Why oh why did I just get on my scales........

Waiting for weigh in time is the worst time of the week so keeping myself busy in here. I know I have been on plan all week but sometimes you just never know do you?! Especially with my TOTM being all over the place. Today has been fine food wise Breakfast: weetabix, milk and blueberries...

Had the curly wurly whilst Mr J massaged my feet, doesn't get much better than that haha forgot to mention another good thing that happened today.....I could take my school trousers down with undoing them! Whoop not bad for just under a stone....beginning to get excited at the thought of...

Great thread - can I join please :-) weigh in day tomorrow, would love to be posting about a big loss like some of the ones I've read about on this thread tonight!

You could be onto a new fad there.....soup covered roast? Hmm maybe not :-) I am only in class half a day on a Monday and boy does it make my day easier - love Mondays :-) Breakfast - weetabix and milk late late lunch when I got home at 2:30 was my potato and leek soup adding some leftover...

Biggest roast ever! Stuffed. Getting into the habit of going for a stroll after dinner so that was nice, gives me and Mr J some nice alone time, away from iPads and TV etc! Syns are up a bit today because I also had some mango with choc shot earlier. ketchup - 2 syns Alpen light - 3.5 syns...

I might add diet coke chicken to next weeks list :-) the frozen muller was.....interesting...it tasted like ummm...frozen yoghurt! Haha the best thing was it took blooming ages to eat so took me most of the evening to get through it. Today has has been boring, boring and a bit more boring so...

Thanks Doreen, I just checked and I think it is free whoop whoop - although not sure the fajita mix was? Oh well I'm not over syns so should be ok? Have literally spent my whole Saturday night doing history planning whilst chiseling away at my frozen muller!! Good times.

Is the diet coke chicken good? I've head so much about it but not tried it yet. Today has been good, lunch was a 2egg omelette with cucumber and tomatoes and a sneaky bit of mayo (2syns?) Snack: apple Dinner: strips of stir fry beef, onions, peppers, mushrooms and rice with fajita seasoning...

Up early this morning to go with Mr J to his 5k park run....I'm not doing it today, I'm going to be babysitting whilst our friends join with him . I'm the support team haha kinda jealous that I'm just not fit enough to do it yet, aiming to have a go at some point this year, hopefully. Nothing...

Glad it worked out in the end, so much easier when people try and help rather than sabotage! Soooo pleased its Friday, I'm pooped. This morning for the first time EVER I slept through my alarm! Thank god Mr J's alarm goes off only twenty mins later. It means I didn't get time for breakfast and...

Sounds like you had a good plan for maccy d's :-) hope it worked! School has been manic today, I have so many different roles now I don't know if I'm coming or going! Food has been ok. Breakfast: weetabix and milk lunch: left over Shepard's pie snack: Aplen light and a small/tiny banana...

Thanks for the message miataiblue, how did you get on in McDonald's? School was good today, nice to get the kids back and my promotion was announced - why I'm taking on extra responsibility and stress I don't know?! Food has has been pretty boring and basic but on plan Breakfast: weetabix...

So back from weigh in - annoyed! Lost 3lb which is fab but just half a pound away from that elusive first stone. I guess for all the holiday shenanigans I really should just be grateful. Never happy! Food today is minimal.... lunch: second load of the random homemade soup, 2 apples and a...

Most annoying weigh in - lost 3lb....meaning I just need a half to get my first stone off grrrr. Must be patient, I will get it next week! Well done everyone, some super losses :-)

I think weight loss in some kind of bubble would be much easier.....adding other people and social events makes things much harder doesn't it! McDonald's sounds tricky....it would be hard for me to not have a strawberry milkshake, I dread to think how many syns they are! Weigh in today, my...

Well done on surviving today - can only get easier right?? Only one packet of biscuits in our staff room today and they were pretty easy to avoid. Count down is on to half term :-)

Thanks for the messages :-) curly wurly was yummy....jus what I needed last night :-) Are you back from holiday now miataiblue? I think you did really well even sticking to the plan some of the time, it's soooooo hard when you're away. So first day back at school and I'm already stressed and...

I've taken your advice Kally and there is a curly wurly with my name in it currently chilling in the freezer :-) Badminton was good fun, it's getting so much easier the fitter I am getting. Was a late late lunch of a stir fry beef strip salad, with lettuce, rocket, tomatoes, cucumber and...

Last day of the summer holidays :-( Breakfast - good old weetabix, milk and raspberries Going to play doubles badminton with Mr J and some friends in a bit which is a fun way to get some body magic :-) Scales were not nice this morning when will I learn to KEEP OFF them! I kinda think I...

I'm primary, year 4 this year. Quite different to your lot I'm sure :-) I've taken on extra responsibilities this term and ofsted are imminent so it ain't going to be a fun term! I think I'll have the age old lunch problem and also resisting the staff room goodies. Hope you have something fun...

What age do you teach? I'm also a teacher and totally understand your 'dread of Monday' I have only started sw in the holidays and I have no idea how I'll cope during term time....it's going be tricky! I'll be interested to follow your journey to see what employment there is after teaching.....

Another day nearly done. lunch was noodles, mushrooms and peppers snack was an apple dinner was sw carbonara but without any cheese and extra veg snacks tonight will probably be some kind of fruit salad and maybe an Alpen light bar. 'Ran' 5k again today and knocked nearly another minute off...

You're doing fab :-) I get frustrated too when it slows down after the first few weeks but I have found writing it all down and coming on here has been great motivation. :-)

Good morning everyone :-) Two days til school and I've been up working for a bit....when will I learn to do it at the start of the holidays! Breakfast: weetabix and milk with raspberries for an exotic weekend addition!! with a cup of green tea. Not sure on the rest if the day - kind of...

Your post struck many chords with me, I hope you are doing ok and all went well with joining sw.

Hi - good luck for your first week. I am also a teacher, what age do you teach? I am dreading going back to school next week and the temptation of the staff room!

Went to Nandos -- I had butterfly chicken (no skin) spicy rice, side salad and halloumi. Obviously would of been better without the halloumi but I love that too much! Diet coke to drink. Then we went to the cinema to watch Lucy....I'm still digesting the film......'twas odd! No snacks at the...

Busy day so far as been in school all morning trying to get my classroom organised for next week, getting there but still stuff todo before the kids arrive on Wednesday. TD days Monday and Tuesday so will stay late after those to get things done. Food has gone like this: Breakfast: weetabix...

Waiting for dinner to cook so keeping my fingers busy! Dinner is going to be salmon, potatoes, corn on the cob and a mountain of other free veg. Pudding is going to be a fresh fruit salad - mango, raspberries, kiwi with 1/2 a sin of choc shot MMmmMMmm Just bought the choc shot after reading so...

Woo hoo 'smashed' my 5k time by a 'whopping' 30 seconds! Most people could run 3x5k in the time I do mine but I don't care, I'm pleased even to make it the distance :-) Mr J is thinking of joining some friends to do a weekly 5k run....I don't think I'm ready for that but I reckon in a month or...

My name is Karen and I am addicted to slimming programmes!! Whilst we were away the TIVO recorded literally a million Obese:A year to save my life and I cant stop watching them!! Love it :-) Anyway back in the real world today's breakfast was good old Weetabix and skimmed milk Now to the...

Dinner was fab - sw burgers, sw chips, lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and corn on the cob. Had a tiny bit of mayo and butter which I'll count as 5syns max For pudding I stole one of Mr J's mini mars ice creams which I think are about 4 syns (75cals) All in all a pretty good day I'd say...

It's official....my body is weird! On the scales yesterday morning I was up 6lbs from my scales before holiday, this morning I get on ( even though I'm meant to be banned) and I'm back to the exact weight I was on my scales before holiday....I know weight fluctuates but really by 6lb in a day...

Well done for making such good choices, even though you're away....hope you have a fab holiday.

It's weird how quickly the cravings can go, if you give them a chance! I'm much better when I go totally without chocolate than if I allow myself some using syns.

Hi Kazrace, arent those alpen bars just lush!!!! I used to love the raspberry ones until I tried these!!! They taste like a proper little treat don't they!!! Agree with you that they are pricey though when you cant find them on offer though I suppose compared to the junk I used to eat I'm...

Stuck to dinner plans - and had an Alpen light for a snack earlier. Bit peckish now but got some mango in the fridge for snacking. Already feel better about things after today....this time next week I WILL be back to where I was before holiday.

Well done on choosing the mint tea - feels kind good doesn't it :-) Good luck with eating whilst you are away, you sound like you have it all organised :-)

Just popping in to subscribe - you are doing fab :-) i love those Alpen bars too...they weren't on offer today though which was a shame......always looking for a bargain :-)

Well I stepped on our scales this morning and it was as bad as I thought :-( up about 6lbs according to them. Now I know the right thing to do is to go to group tonight and face the music but I can't. So I have been shopping and got a load of free and super free and I will have a bloody good go...

Home.knackered.Dreading tomorrow's weigh in - it ain't gonna be pretty! will post tomorrow when things are back to normal :-)
