If you like fish its definitely worth including plenty in your diet. I adore seafood so I have no problem eating loads of it. Thanks hun x

I keep expecting the scales to slow down... I know last time I got stuck in the 14's for ages but this time I think I could even cope with that coz I soooo want to see those 14's appear on the scales!!! In saying that I'm having a lovely off plan chinese tonight... sometimesI wonder if an off...

Well I had my family meal out yesterday (which was completely off plan unless oreo cheesecake became syn free overnight!!! lol) I stayed on plan right up to the meal & got straight back on plan immediately after including having my 15 syns that evening. I've had a look at the scales this morning...

Well I had the most gorgeous off plan meal yet & the most naughty too but it was definitely worth it it & more importantly it felt like such a treat rather than a case of 'lets eat like this everyday!!!!!! I think we have to learn not only how to physically deal with special occasions as well as...

Not rude at all hun.. I'm forever missing posts too. I think we have to learn not only how to physically deal with special occasions as well as mentally otherwise it would be all to easy to reach target & fall back into our old ways. For me being able to incorporate these special occasions in...

To be honest hun I think I know why I fell off the wagon last time & I'm so determined that it can't happen again this time that I started with the attitude that I would rather be in this for the long term & for it to be maintainable than for it to feel restrictive & have the guilt kick in. I'm...

To be honest I'm not even going to worry about it coz it was things like this that last time caused me silly amounts of guilt which in turn caused me to fall completely off the wagon. I'm going to stay on plan all day until the meal, go out, enjoy it & get back on plan immediately after the meal...

ok so Ive just realised that should be the other way round... 1lb to club 20 & 2lbs until mid way!!! lol Either way though I'm happy!!!!!!

Just a quick post to say that I weighed in this morning & have 5lbs off so I got my nice new 4 stone shiny!!!!! Only 1lb more until I reach my half way point & 2lbs until I reach club 20!!!! I'm delighted though because I started following slimming world 2 months ago today & I never expected to...

Welcome hun. I can totally relate to everything you say. I make cakes for a living (albeit part time) & I was the same. To be honest I dont even like cake anymore!!!! lol I totally get the not eating all day & then making bad choices late at night.. that was me too. This is my second time doing...

Good luck hun... lets bring on these awards!!!!!!

Thanks hun. I weigh in tomorrow morning & I need to lose a minimum of 4lbs to get my 4 stone shiny... If the scales dont change between today & tomorrow I might get it by the skin of my teeth x

Ladies I just had to share this with someone ..... I am now wearing a size 18 in jeans & not only do they fit but they actually are comfortable!!!! I can even bend over in them without splitting a seam!!!! lol I'm now starting to wear some size 16's in tops too!!! It was Destamia's post...

Woohoooo I am officially & very comfortably into a size 18 in jeans & trousers & some of my size 16 tops are starting to fit too!!! If I was a comfortable 16 all over for Christmas I would be absolutely thrilled!!! Mind you I am thrilled at the minute to now be an 18 all over & generally just...

OMG hun that is amazing!!!!!!!! You must be soo proud of yourself & what you have achieved so far!!! Clothes are as good a goal as any. I have a few things lurking in my wardrobe that I cannot wait to get back into too. My memories of wearing these things were always so positive because I felt...

Well done hun. Thats a great loss. I have to admit that thankfully I was never a huge fan of McDonalds.... my weakness is chinese which I have once a week (as a treat meal!!! lol) I'm guessing the 20 cal one syn rule would probably apply though I have to admit if my family were going to...

Wow 6 stone is amazing!!! You are doing soo well!! Thats great about joining a gym. Are you enjoying it? I cannot wait until I get the go ahead from my physio to start proper exercise again but I fear it will probably be spring before they do :( I have managed a couple of sneaky walks around the...

Well done hun... It wont be long until you see a 17 appear on your scales!!!

Just checking in with yesterdays food diary... I even managed breakfast!!!! wooohoo!!! To be fair though I had a really late tea so needed to try to have a breakfast to help tide me over.. Lunch was eaten (in the school) between school pick ups & I have to say it really was quite yummy so I will...

Oh definitely.. i'm keeping my fingers crossed

LOL a good loss would be nice but I think my losses have settled down so probably not much chance of big ones again unfortunately..... I would love to lose 4lb though coz that would get me my 4 stone shiny but I'll probably not lose that much :(

Oh dont... I'm a disaster that most of the time cant even manage to have breakfast in the mornings!!!! lol I'm not sure that I'll manage to do 3 stone by xmas coz we are hoping to move house at the end of this month so am going to just aim to maintain my current weight at the weigh in before...

Thanks hun.. its hard to beat a bit of rice & veg with a bit of soy sauce mixed in & chicken or fish isnt it... I actually love it but I do kind of feel a bit lazy coz its so handy especially when the whole family loves it

I do mostly EE so you would be better asking in the main forum to be sure incase I told you the wrong amount as my books are out of date by a few years

Thanks hun. I'm such an impatient person that I would love to be at target yesterday but as long as the scales keep moving I cant complain coz I able to eat things I enjoy now & still lose weight

Sorry for my absence things have just been hectic as the kids were all starting a new school yesterday so it was a busy weekend getting organised for that & then yesterday as we are having to travel until we move house I just felt like I lived in my car!!!!! Anyway despite that I managed to...

Hey ladies sorry I havent got online much this past few days so just checking in to say hello. Been sticking to plan all weekend & my sneaky peek at the scales this morning showed they were moving at least. Dont get me wrong I would love another huge loss for a wee bit of a boost but so long as...

As the others said generally the more you have to lose the quicker it will come off in the beginning. My biggest loss in one week was 13lbs & I lost 3 stone in my 1st month. My weight loss has slowed down to a more normal pace now but it gave me the boost I needed to stick with it in the early...

Well done on your loss huni. Those damn hormones dont make it easy for us. All is good with me this week. I wouldnt say its stress free coz the kids started their new school yesterday but compared to last week I can cope with that. Mind you its only Tuesday & I'm knackered from all the driving...

Hey everyone, sorry for my absence. I had a few stressful days but thankfully all good now. I'm pleased with myself that I didnt go off plan & go crazy... I actually done the opposite & ate nothing (for just over 24 hours!!!) which wasnt good either but in my eyes better than the alternative...

Hey ladies, Sorry for my absence I have had a stressful few days but thankfully all seems fine now. The strange thing was that instead of turning to food (well a large bar of chocolate) when I was feeling stressed I kind of shut down & food was the enemy. Weird but I'm glad in a way & now I...

Well ladies after a very stressful couple of days this week I'm delighted to report a 2lb loss taking me to 16 stone 10. I think too that in a way I suppose I had a little NSV in not being tempted to stray off plan & eat the wrong thing which would probably have been the easy thing to do. I also...

Sorry ladies, very stressful couple of days but all good now. I'm not sure how the scales will be come Saturday morning though, not coz I have eaten off plan, more like I haven't eaten at all since yesterday morning. I've just put on some salmon & rice which to be honest I don't really even want...

Oooops well I am ashamed to say that breakfast didnt happen this morning. Dare I say that I just completely forgot as I started doing stuff after I dropped this kids off & before I knew it was 11am... so I am currently making myself some scrambled eggs & bacon for brunch that will tide me over...

they are soo handy arent they x

LOL!!!!!! I dont even like the taste of the normal bacon now if its been cooked with the fat on... it has a taste I think!!! Now I know you can remove it before cooking but I have this thing where I cannot touch raw meat!!! hehehe The alpro is definitely worth a try. Worst that can happen is...

they were ok... to be honest I felt a bit like I was force feeding myself rather than enjoying them even though it tasted nice. I might try making it with half the oats tomorrow to see of its a bit lighter coz I found it quite heavy. I was thinking of making a big pot of vegetable soup today...

Thank you chick x

Oh I love scrambled eggs & bacon... I have them for lunch most days & never get sick of it. I'm hoping the breakfast thing will grow on me.... I am going to make an effort again tomorrow though. Its probably just something I need to get used to. I do love diet coke but I like water so so I dont...

My didnt move much from mid week either hun unfortunately. I'm sure you wont get stuck in the 16's though. If they do just make sure that you are eating for your new weight & not your starting weight. I think this is something we are all probably guilty of overlooking until we get stuck. I'm...

Only you know what kind of pattern your losses are & I suppose whether or not you want to set a goal that you are comfortable that you can achieve or one that will push you harder but that you may not achieve. I have set myself a goal to lose another 3 stone by Christmas... which works out at...

OMG!!!!!!! This has got to be my favourite post today!!!!! YAY I have been avoiding flavoured coffee up to now :thankyou:

Ok so here is todays food plan....... BRUNCH:....(:ashamed0005: I know, I know, I need to get myself better organised) Lean bacon, scrambled eggs, apple TEA: 2 turkey steaks, asda chosen by you spicy vegetable cous cous (1/2 syn) SNACKS: mullerlight, snack a jacks (4.5 syns) HeA: 400ml...

Its nice to be able to have a bit of variety & I love being able to have nuts. I'm sure it is total coincidence but the scales arent moving much for me this week.... (on my sneaky daily checks!!! lol) so unless a miracle happens between today & tomorrow morning I'm looking at a couple of lbs...

Good luck hun.. Youre soo close x

EXTRA EASY HEA - 400ml alpro hazelnut HEB - 5 hazelnuts, 5 almonds, 6 cashews

I'm not sure about that bit to be honest. Something tells me that snacks should be superfree but I could have imagined that bit. I think though even if you done the 2/3 superfree at meal times it might be enough to kick start things for you

wooohoooo congratulations hun x

yay!!!!! I can relate to that Excellent... such a great feeling

Its been a bit of a hectic day today but here is todays food plan: BREAKFAST: bacon, scrambled eggs, 1 pagen krispbread (2syns) LUNCH: erm...... forgot about.. by the time I remembered I was running late so had some nuts (HeB) & special k sweet chilli crackers (4.5 syns) TEA: sticky chicken...

What about trying a success express week hun? Maybe mix things up a bit.. trick your body... that kind of thing. Youre soo close to target though so those last few pounds could be pesky ones to shift x

congratulations hun x

That is my understanding of it. I think the theory is that you are able to set yourself a limit for a special occasion & be able to stay within that limit, hence staying in control but not depriving yourself of syns the rest of the week x

spray jeans or dresses

well done hun x

Thank you, yes they are definitely worth 1 syn & great that they are frozen & can just have 1 rather than having to use the whole pack

Well done. 2.5lbs is good hun. My scales havent moved much this week so unless they move dramatically between now & saturday morning I would say it will probably be a couple of lbs at most. I'd still be happy with that as they are at least movning in the right direction. I have been as good this...

Thats excellent Janeb well done

Lose weight Move house redecorate new house move kids school finish my xmas shopping!!! lol 5 new years resolutions that you will make in 2015

Unfortunately the ones I bought arent... there were 2 different types & typically the others (the ones I didnt pick) were free!! They were the ones I was looking for & couldnt find in the shops. I will keep looking Aww you have done great & that last bit is a bugger to shift x

Thank you hun.... unfortunately they are the 1 syn ones then but I'm happy enough with that

I had a sneaky little peak at the scales this morning after resisting for a few days & I'm pleased to say there is a little movement, not a lot but movement in the right direction which is the main thing. Foodwise this morning I really fancied sausages so I went & bought some quorn sausages...

I have to admit I avoid bread as I know that once I have bread I want butter & then I have that & I want more!!! lol I have to admit though.. I dont really miss it as much as I thought I would. This morning though I really fancied a sausage so got some quorn ones to have with my lunch...

Does anyone know the syns for quorn sausages? I have allowed 1 syn each though I could be way out. They are the packs of 8 frozen ones if thats any help. Thanks x

You are so right. I think we all get to know our own weight loss pattern & disappointing as it can be when the scales dont cooperate we know that they will level out over the month. We are our own biggest critics though I think that is because we know what we are capable of achieving too

I'm a serial weigher too but try not to dwell too much on anything other than your official weigh in day. If you exercised yesterday then you may find the scales up slightly as your muscles are holding onto water to help them recover. I'm not for one second saying not to exercise though because...

I still have a lot to lose but I know once I hit the 14's thing usually slow way down for me. The important thing is that we all get there in the end in whatever way works for us x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

I work better when I have a target to aim for rather than just taking things week by week. I think its good to have goals. It keeps me motivated which helps me succeed!! I know its not a race & I'm definitely not treating it as one but I have spent time working out what I thought would be a...

Its usually fruit for me when I'm on the go most mornings

Are you filling 1/3 of your plate with superfree hun & just eating until you are full? I know SW isnt about measuring out portion sizes with things like rice, potatoes, pasta etc but I generally do with things like that just to be extra sure

Youre doing great hun. If you arent a breakfast person (I know I'm not) try to even have a piece of fruit for breakfast to nibble on. Yesterday I had a chopped apple & today I had raspberries.

Yeah I have to admit thats why I prefer doing it at home too... I tried group once a few years back & I have to admit I found it awful... completely uninspiring & very condescending though I am sure not all consultants are like that but that experience put me off completely.

Well done hun x I think if I was you I would be doing the same. Enjoy your holiday. My view is that its a plan for life & therefore we shouldnt feel guilty about going off plan for special occasions & holidays & the important thing is setting a date to get back on plan & sticking to that x...
