I've had such a long day. Didn't get my walk in and am heading to bed before I empty the contents of the fridge into my mouth. Amazing how tiredness can make you feel sorry for yourself and start you craving rubbish! :banghead:

Well jell jo.b! I've a bit to go yet to get there! Well done!

Leaving it up to the OH tonight :)

Just down the country for 2 nights. Co. Clare. Hopefully we'll get plenty of walking in.

Make room for me peeps! 12st 10lb as of last night! Woop!

Thanks Sia, trying to keep the motivation up is the hardest part! I'm heading off this weekend so hopefully I won't do too much damage!

Another 4.5! GET IN!! Although I am going away for the weekend so I know next week won't be as good. I'll take it all the same! Well done to everyone who faced the scales today, whatever the outcome!

Don't be annoyed at yourself brokenmirrors. It won't help anything. Consider the WI a line in the sand. It'll be off before you know it!

4lbs is over a quarter of a stone! That's brilliant! I weigh in later today so figs crossed for me! :p

Weigh in today. The junkiest thing I've had this week is a mug shot so I've accomplished that much! Hopefully the scales will show the difference!

This website is such a great motivator for me! Where has this place been all my life?!

So a plain bog standard rice cake is 1.5. Savoury ones are 2. Not going to break the allowance but steep for something that's mostly air!

Thank you for this. I'll also take the initiative, find out the nice places to eat and suggest places that look like they have good low-syn options. I'll have my notebook with me and do my best to keep track for the weekend too!

Good luck tomorrow everybody. My weigh-in is in the evening so I have to try to keep it light with the food until after the scales! :(

Speaking of which I couldn't believe the syns in rice cakes! WTF? It's a rice cake!

Hello there, next week will be my 3rd week of SW and I've been happily sticking to the diet without any problems. I'm going away for 2 nights with my fiancé next weekend though and I really don't want to blow all my good work. There will be plenty of eating out (he loves nice restaurants :sigh:)...

Hi Helena, The great news is that you've picked a goal that is totally within your grasp so it is possible. Whether you get there or not is all up to you. You have 8 months. It's all in your control. You've already made a fantastic start! Keep it going!

Why doesn't she smoke a packet of cigarettes every day for 3 months, then show everyone how easy it was to not be a smoker? Or drink a bottle of gin every day for 3 months and then show us all how easy it is to not be an alcoholic. She's neglected to realise that everyone struggles with...

Yes, on my 2nd week now. Weighed in on Tuesday and lost 5.5 lbs! Trying to keep going!

500 cals every time you do it I read! So even more of a reason to do it! :D

Thank you systema. I'll certainly check it out!

Slow cookers are brilliant! Don't know what I'd do without mine! I must get some syn free slow cooker recipes!

Wow. Well done Autumn! Great stuff!

Great story and a great forum! :D

Definitely! It's also great that there are maintainers here too. Watching what you eat just never ends- I learned that the hard way! The only thing to do is think about the next weigh in and do your best in the meantime! And just keep going no matter what! - that's my plan!

So far so good for me too! I'm facing into a weekend of working night shifts! Determined to get through it without getting tempted by the rubbish they bring in! Honestly, sometimes the fellas bring in cakes and sweets and I think it's because their OHs are trying to get the junk food out of the...

ps. I hope you don't mind. I saw the little bride on your ticker and thought she was so cute!! I changed from the snail I had and copied you. :character00250:

I hope so. I want to keep it off for good too so I'm never in this boat again! I'm very new here on minimins and I have to say that, weight-loss aside, I love the chats on here. Hopefully be a great source of inspiration for me! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I usually find a bumper omnibus loss the week after. You're doing great! Keep going! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks Orla, good to hear that the motivation in SW stays. I could write a thesis about food, nutrition and weight loss but I know that if I don't have a weekly weigh-in the weight just will not come off. It's my 2nd week now and I'm going for my half stone! That'll be one for the fridge door...

For me I'd be devastated if I didn't! I lost all my excess weight in 2011 and then put back on some. Never got around to losing it. Now I'm terrified that I won't look as good as I did then. Next July is the big day. I think I'll be alright if I focus, but really need to get going with it...

I wish I did it the way you are! I waited until all the engagement celebrations were over to diet. My weight was in the back of my mind the whole time! Good luck with your diet, studies, and wedding plans.

Looking forward to next weigh-in already! I'm really going to try and smash this week. I want this weight gone NOW!

Spots

Grilled chicken pieces, satay sauce (SW recipe) and pilaf style cauliflower rice from the Hemsley Hemsley book. Yummy :)

Car

Yes, I lost a lot and slowly gained back a good chunk of it. I joined SW and I'm now trying to lose it for a wedding dress I'll be wearing next July. It's taken me loads of effort just getting back on track!

Drink :)

I'm the exact same. I had to go t-total during and save my drinks until I'm celebrating at special occasions. That was so easy though compared to giving up sweets/chocs. Once I had one, it always had a tag-along or two! I eventually gave up sweets for a week (even those diet cereal bars, because...

Hi Maintainer, very interesting to see that walking is working so well for you. I have been trying to lose weight for a few months now, tracking my weight on a scales that reports to an app on my phone. I had a treadmill that I dusted off and decided to try do a 4.7 mph walk for 40 min. I...

So this little pic popped up on one of my newsfeeds saying that it's only 15 WEEKS TO CHRISTMAS!! How did that happen?? If I could just lose 15 lbs by then I'd be so happy! ps . Can I join you guys? Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

This will be my challenge for the week! At my work there's always cakes, buns and chocolates going around. I'm going to say no. I know that once I say yes to the first sweet, there are always more to follow! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Snap Emmy! Getting married in July 2015 too. :character00250: I hope your plans are going well!

Can I join too? :rolleyes: We got engaged in July and have been celebrating since. :party0036: I've picked my dress but the girl in the bridal shop is leaving it until February to send off my measurements. I'm doing my best to lose as much as I can for then, although if I lose after that they...

Woohoo! My 1st week over and lost 5.5 lbs. Start of a long road! Please let me keep this up!

Right, hello everyone! This is my story. I'm a bit of a lifer when it comes to dieting. In 2012 I went from 15.5st to 10.5st and made a lot of changes for the better. I did it with the help of an expensive diet clinic. (5ft 7 btw) Some habits stuck, some didn't. I was happily hovering at...
