Sorry yr feeling so low fraggle. Keep going if you can - you will feel worse if you look at yrself in 6 mths and have gained. But if you do wobble now and again try not to beat yrself up about it. Lel xx Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Last time I did this one of the blokes quietly asked if it was deliberate as they were worried I had something terminal. Shocked me but can laugh abt it now. Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

2 more gone. This has surprised me as I expected to sts. 18lb so far and feeling good. Just wish someone would notice but I work with blokes and it is debatable they would notice if one of my legs fell off!! Lel Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi princess - nice to meet someone on as long a journey as me! We will get there. Doesnt matter if we plod or sprint, take the direct route or meander along. As long as we keep the destination in mind we will keep making progress. As a veggi, for me the only way is green (also all the pasta...

I love tofu - ate a lot in china (not the best place for veggis). I do like the marinaded deep fried packet ones as they have a fab texture Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

While over in Czech republic last week I discovered buckwheat as an alternative to rice in risotto. Quite nutty in flavour but very healthy and free on green. I made it with green beans. Very filling! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

So here I am. been here before under a different username but couldnt remember password or email address so created a new me! I have a wopping amount to lose but since starting on the plan I am down 16lbs and feeling positive. The key thing for me is to not feel as though I am depriving myself...

4 lbs gone. YAY!

16 lbs is apparently 45 swedish meatballs!! Now picturing them wrapped around me like a bobbly scarf. I remember someone last time pointing out I had lost the equivalent of her body weight. She was an adult friend! It does help with visualisation.

I have decided to log just how far I walk every day as I work in a large factory and go the length of it at least 4 times a day. So the pedometer has come out. I am hoping I will be surprised at how far i do walk. Hubby has started to drag me out for an evenign walk as well - although after a...

I use a lot of Quark. Never noticed it tasted any different to other soft cheese. I liek to use it when making a syn free lasagne as you can mix a tub with some from frais (to make it a bit more runny) and some beaten egg. The egg set sit intop a sort of souffle texture and somehow cookign ti...

Hi Deb, well I had my first "bloody diet" craving last night. I made a lovely lasagne thing but used courgette slices in place of the pasta (just for a change and coz we had some left over). Now I know that the pasta woul;d have helped with the cravings. Anyway, got a desperate craving for...

Wwell, I am 21 st 12 so that is another milstone. And, even more excigint, I managed to fit into a smaller size of jeans. I felt like a supermodel walking around on Saturday. Kept checkign out my reflection!!!! Happy Days!! Lel.

Decided to share a little about what makes me tick. I have always been "big". As a child I remember dreading non uniform days as I was the one in the shapeless polyester top and trousers. The fact is, I comfort eat. So when I had a bit of a problem a few years ago food became my friend. However...

Hi folks, is there room for a (not so) little one? I am also doing this from home as I can't handle the pressure of going to a group. But I do miss having friends to encourage me. These days for various reasons most of my human interfaces are over the internet. This is partly why i want to...

Jo, exactly my way of thinking. If I fancy a glass of red wine I will use the syns. if i dont then I certainly won't go out of my way to use them. I do firmly believe if you lose it slowly then it is easier to keep off. Lel

Hi folks, I am 6ft 3ish. When I first checked up on the BMI idea it said I needed to be 11stn!Last time I got down to 12 stn something and my hip bones were sticking out and I looked terminally ill. So I am not convinced that BMI's work over certain heights. So I am going on how I feel. I am...

Last time I did this I was a bit OCD about it - would buy a box of all bran and separate it into portion bags (can't touch the stuff now!). I also didn;t use any syns at all. The weight fell off. This timer I am taking it a bit more relaxed. Still following the plan with no cheating but I do use...

Hi again. Still positive. helps that i can see the weight steadily coming off. If I can keep losign 2 -3 lbs a week then it will be fine. Last time I did this I lost a stone a month for 4 months. That was scary. Salad day today (I like to have at least oen salad day a week) with half a...

Hi Ellie4, well i am still losing! 2 more lbs and I am in the 21s. I am strangely excited. I am going to try on a pair of jeans I have in a size smaller this weekend. They were just a bit too tight and now the larger ones come down without unbuttoning and there is about 4 inches of spare...

Hi folks, been veggi for 33 yrs. Now with follwing SW Green I am borderline vegan. I don't take milk in any drinks and don't eat cereal. My only dairy is quark in some of my pasta sauces and the odd spoon of FF From frais when I am feeling indulgeant. Yrs agio I tried WW. This was a disaster. i...

Ideally I would like to hit 2stn by the end of August - there I have said it. Got to do it now!! Lx

I am the lead musician in a swing band and this means we have loads of photos taken. I just look old and like a mountain. I want to look good sitting there in the middle of the front row ( I also want to get some 1940s style dreses for gigs!) L

Hi folks, I am classing myself as being in the 21 stone range as I am within 2 lbs and do not intend to be in the 22st range for more than another week! It is great to not feel like I am the only person with a whole person to lose. In the past i foudn it quite off putting to have some stick...

Hi Jemima, thought I would drop in and say hello as I have read yr posting and am glad to find someone on a similar weight loss journey as myself. We will manage it. I have just signed up to lose 50 lbs by Christmas (eek). I just have to keep saying to myself "I can do this" and I hope it...

Hi Folks, I started off at 23st a month ago. I am now 22st 2 and feeling positive. Just seem slike such a long distance to go. My final target is 13st 6lbs which is a scary figure so i am not thinking about it. One step at a time as they say. So nearly 1stn down and hoping for 4 stn by end of...

hi folks, about 10 years ago i followed the SW green plan and managed to lose 10 st (hubby also - go us!!). But then through various reasons we fell off the wagon and 9 of the 10 st found their way back! Luckily they didn't bring new friends. So, finally last month hubby and I decided it was...
