Awww thank you, what else are friends for if not to help out when you need it most, I know she would do the same for me :) its good to have people to rely on. Especially in today's climate!

Thanks lovely, she is doing well. Just staying with me until she can get back to her Family in Reading. My ankle is ok, I have an ankle support on and plenty of Tiger Balm. Going to attempt a spin session at home this evening to see if it can cope!

Hello! Happy Tuesday :) I am still very much here, reading everyone's diaries just not posting on my own. Here are the updates; Reached the 10s in October (Woohoo) Had to work from home for a week so didn't make it on here Half-term, didn't look at a laptop (lol) Friends relationship broke...

Defo, I always eat too much when on the likes of slimming world because you can. Usually meaning losses are slower. But its what works for you at the end of the day!

Hello lovely! I made it into the 10s woohoo! Worked was closed due to all the cases so back today after 1 week closure and 1 week half term. Going to catch up with everyone's diaries on my lunch :)

I don't find it restricting. Maybe not the correct word. I mean that it teaches you portion control rather than a free for all.

You've clearly done a really good job bringing up such a gent!

Day 40 Weigh Day: STS I am noticing a pattern from the last six weeks: every other week I STS and the weeks I lose I lose 2lbs...very strange. Wonder what my body is up to?! Anyway I am hoping it continues this week and takes me in to the 10s and a 2 stone loss!! Fingers crossed for me...

I am really enjoying the green plan! Lots of freedom but also restricted enough too :) x

I was reading up on intermittent fasting last night and downloaded and app to track it. They recommended 16:8, is that what you do?

Thanks Dolly :) It has made me more determined, after I had my strop :)

Thanks lady ((hugs)) Wow, people can be so rude and thoughtless. Even if you think like that, keep it to yourself. I think he has a lot of insecurities himself and decided to take them out on me and my friend yesterday :(

wow, too young :( these strange times have definitely made me more grateful for all the people in my life.

Being called fat at work... Yesterday my bestie work colleague and I were talking to another work colleague. We got onto the subject of how I teach spin (I had taught that morning). The other colleague pipes up: "You teach spin? No offence but you don't really look fit enough..." Have you...

Oh that is so sad Lady :( sending lots of hugs x

Day 36 1.Update Happy Monday! I had a lovely weekend - On saturday I taught double spin class and then we took Cooper (our dog) to a local park to practice some recall and let him have a run about. Which always works in our favour as he was tired for the rest of Saturday and we got to watch...

Day 33 Weigh Day: -2lbs :woohoo: 1. How did yesterday go? Yesterday was good, but boy was I craving 'bad foods' I managed to keep to having what I had planned but it was not easy. As today is weigh day I am going to cut myself some slack and use my weeklies for a couple of treats. I have...

Oh no Ladybird that is so sad! Hope you are ok x

Well done on your losses so far, you're doing really well. Did the lactose tablets work? I have Coeliac but I am pretty sure I also have a lactose intolerance, ignoring it for the moment and avoiding going to Dr as I am already so limited to what I can eat! My gran has coeliac and Lactose...

Thank you Dolly! Yes I would have usually 'binged' the whole night after a McDonalds and totally thrown the towel in. I won't lie the thought did cross my mind but then I asked myself if I was hungry and I wasn't so had some water instead! Hoping the scales reward me for my little lifestyle change.

Day 32 1. How did yesterday go? Happy Friday-eve, yesterday was good. The other half and I were both shattered after work and ended up having an 'on-plan' McDonalds. Not something we do during the week usually but we had both had hard days at work. Luckily I had enough points for what I...

Thank you lovely :) x

Thanks Dolly! x

I am doing WW green too :) The WW forums are the quietest :(

Day 30 1. How did yesterday go? Yesterday? You mean the whole week? Oops! I found two lumps on my leg last week and got put on antibiotics to get rid of them (so far it is working). Anyway the antibiotics made me feel really unwell (nausea and toilet going). Dr thinks it's some sort of...

I am often like Bridget Jones after two spin classes in a row - ready for a (bucket of) coffee!

Day 22 1. How did yesterday go? Happy Monday everyone, the weekend went by so quickly, as usual :( Neily and I went for dinner on Friday which was absolutely delicious! I had gluten free Pizza AND dessert, what a treat. On Saturday I taught Spin (I now have TWO classes on my own on a...

Thanks Dolly :) feels really good! Hoping I can get the last 24lbs off quicker than I did the first 😂

Day 19 Weigh Day Friday! Weigh in: -2lbs Yaaaaaay - so happy with this loss, feel like it is totally deserved! 1. How did yesterday go? Yesterday went well, on plan and taught spin class at 5:30! Walked Cooper and then had a lovely hot shower. Put on some long PJs as it was freezing last...

Day 18 Forgot to pop on here yesterday, so I am coming on now during my lunch! The days in School are just so manic at the moment I find it hard to catch my breath until around 3pm! But, the days go quicker which is what you want when you are working. 1. How did yesterday go? Yesterday went...

Wish I had worn a Jumper today, freezing!! Love the glasses idea :)

Hello Dolly (and fellow Scot) Feel free to stalk me, as I do you 👯‍♀️

Day 16 Happy Tuesday everyone! Didn't get on my diary yesterday as I was really busy with work. Then went home and made a HUGE pot of soup (it is soup season whether the weather agrees or not...) and then tinkered with my spin bike after dinner as it needs a new bolt on the gear :confused...

Hope your ankle is feeling better soon!

Day 12 Weigh Day Friday! Weigh in: STS :confused: Well that is ok, I have upped my exercise this week, upped my water and I am due my period next week so I think this accumulation of factors has resulted in a STS. I am staying in my positive pants and moving forward (and downward!). 1. How...

Hi, sorry I didn't see this message in March! I am a Spin Instructor and I think your plan to do 5 mins fast, then 5 mins medium speed is the best way. This is also HIIT as you are changing speed and therefore your heart rate is going up and down. Do not let your heart rate go to low before...

Day 10 1. How did yesterday go? Yesterday was a good day, during the day, went for a walk at Lunch and stayed on plan. However, went home and had a banging headache :( which meant I didn't go on my spin bike. Must go on it tonight as I am teaching two classes on Saturday and I really want to...

Day 9 Decided to start putting the number of days on my Diary :) Also was reading a diary on another site and they had the below headings for each goal which they updated each day they were checking in and I thought I should steal that idea :D 1. How did yesterday go? I had a busy day at...

I am on WW doing the green plan :)

Well done on your loss so far! You are doing amazing, keep going.

Happy Monday! Another week begins, I have a feeling this one is going to be a busy one. This weekend was really busy; built our new bed, seen a friend, went to puppy class, completed food shopping and planning and sorted the house out too. Even managed to get on my Spin Bike Saturday and Sunday...

Great progress on the jeans! I need to sort out my clothes, have loads that are starting to get too big!

Weigh Day Friday! Weigh in: -2lbs :cool: Woohoo Friday, the end of the week *dances* Very happy with my 2lbs loss this week, especially since last night I went home and the steak was off and by the time we got round to making dinner it was already 8pm. My other half decided he was going to...

Food Today: Breakfast: Berry Smoothie (4sp) Lunch: Itsu Katsu Rice Noodles with chicken (7sp) Dinner: Steak, potatoes and cheese (9sp) Snacks: Orange, Grapes, Gluten Free Cookie (3sp) Points left: 7sp + 8sp rolled over Exercise: Plan to go on my spin bike for 30 minutes once puppy is...

WW Green Plan - Low down! The WW Green Plan is the OG Smart Points Plan which I managed to lose 3 stone on a few years ago. You get the most amount of Points on this plan compares to the Blue and Purple Plans. I get 30 smart points a day (this is the least amount of points you can get) I...

Thank you Mini :) So yesterday was my first full day on plan since my in laws came to visit two weeks ago...I just really struggled to get back on it and kept giving myself little allowances that I shouldn't have. I have noticed that my snacking is where I falter, my meals are generally...

Thank you Mini :) If I could be moved to the General Diet Forum that would be fab, thank you so much lovely!

Well, the world has changed quite a bit since I was last one here :classic_eek: I am proud to say that through lockdown I stayed the same weight :stickdance:I completed the Joe Wicks workout each morning and walked a lot. It was my 30th in July and we got a puppy 💕 a little Golden Retriever we...

Hello! Yeah I had horrible symptoms all day every day as I ate loads with gluten in :doh: the thought of feeling that unwell again is exactly why I didn't just give up and have a bagel, not to mention it would ruin my insides! xxx

I am actually still here... I have lost 5.5lbs since the last time I checked in here and reached my stone award, now working towards that club 10 award! I have been incredibly busy and my Spin Classes have really begun to take off, I am now teaching 4 a week (soon to be 5) and can see and feel...

Well...I stayed the same this week! But, my period started on weigh day so there is my culprit :( I am always heavier the week before I start my period and then my body levels out when it arrives. So I had far too much wine on saturday as I was very much in a F it mood! :boohoo: But I got...

Monday again... In better news I lost 2lbs this week!! I am very pleased with myself. 11.5lbs off in three weeks :woohoo: I have 2.5lbs for my stone award and I would LOVE to get that this week... I am going to plan my meals for the week (I usually do anyway) and I have the following...

Happy Monday! I lost 1.5lbs on Saturday and I am so very pleased with myself! I have lost 9.5lbs in two weeks - more than I have ever lost on any diet in two weeks. It does make me wonder if eating gluten was making me hold on to water or fat or something like that...I know most people lose...

How did your weigh in go Janey? I lost 1.5lbs on Saturday bringing me to 9.5lbs off in two weeks!! Very chuffed x

Thans Mini! Was shocked at my loss, usually a slow loser. Oh I have never heard of cloud bread, I like the warburtons GF tiger loaf. But at £3 a loaf it is so expensive!

Well done on the loss! x

Hello everyone! Last time I posted on here was in September and I was on WW...I was really struggling with some unknown illness - turned out to be Coeliac disease! I tried to carry on with WW but found it hard with my new diagnosis, it just didn't fit in to my new lifestyle. I know plenty of...

Good luck for today! Hope the wee one is better soon x

Well done for your loss! 9lbs in two weeks is great! x

If you have just started exercising your body will be holding on to a lot of water as it is not sure what you are doing to it! Once your body becomes used to exercising (after a few weeks) it will no longer do this!

Well done on the losses so far! x

yay on the house news!!

24/09/2019 Yesterday consisted of finishing work and running to the airport to pick up my Boyfriend and his friend. Rushing back home, changing and going to pick up my friend to bring her to my spin class. I think I should start charging taxi... Foodwise yesterday was OK - had my on plan...

23/09/2019 Happy Monday everyone... Friday; I hardly slept (got about 2 hours) and dragged myself up for weigh in to accept my gain and get on with this week. As soon as I got there I could see a massive sign saying the meeting had been cancelled!! So I went to boots to weigh myself on their...

4lbs loss is great! Well done! x

Sorry to hear everything is up in the air for you at the moment! Hopefully everything will calm down soon! How are you getting on with the diet? x

19/09/2019 I am struggling to keep on plan 😭 I am going to weigh in on Saturday and I am going to take the gain and move forward. The more I avoid my WW Workshop the more I put on! For some reason the group environment keeps me accountable and focused. And what works for me works for me...

Hope the viewing goes well!!

Aw so lucky to have furry friends! I would love to get a dog but the other half keeps putting it off!

I HAVE MY OWN SPIN CLASSSSSSSS! :woohoo: I woke up to a message saying I had been successful and I now have my own spin class on a Monday at 6:30pm!! So excited!!🥳

Making a conscious effort... This diary has become a dumping ground for my thoughts! However, I do think it helps as it is keeping me from snacking/not putting things down and eating my emotions! Anyhoo...I am currently making a conscious effort in work. The job I do is quite isolating and I...

17/09/2019 So yesterday was very unexciting - went home and my friend came over for a cuppa. We sat and put the world to rights and then I made my favourite Tandoori Chicken for dinner 😋 All on plan of course. I managed not to snack until later like I planned and I feel really pleased with...

Pasta always makes me feel a little sluggish? Maybe look into different lunch ideas? And a mid morning snack - fruit or something to help you concentrate.

Challenges: I have set myself a couple of challenges before I go to Florida at half term: 1: '40/40' I dont know if anyone on here has heard of 100/100 on instagram. Its basically 100 workouts in 100 days! I have decided since its 40 days till Florida I will do 40/40 :) starting with a...

Sorry to hear about the house! When me and my boyfriend were buying we had a similar thing happen. When the survey came back it threw up some worrying things and we decided to pull out! Everything happens for a reason :)

16/09/2019 How...is it Monday already 😭 last week dragged by and then that weekend seemed to be gone in the blink of an eye! Had a lovely weekend! Friday night I went to check on my friends cat I have been feeding etc. He had decided to drag all their bath towels in to the litter tray and poo...

Hoping the Friday fear goes away soon! Jotting it down on here has made me realise the patter of it. Always a friday, always starving. So now I can make some adjustments - maybe eat some fruit at break time! x

I almost left my industry as well and retrained as something else - something I had as a 'back-up' but not my dream. It was the students that kept me sane throughout it all, they had no idea what was going on but they always managed to say the right things to me without knowing. I miss those...

I am the same, sometimes I need to go off the rails a little in order to get myself back on track! I was the same last week, I couldnt stop myself having treats to the point I thought 'this finishes on sunday, until then pass me the crisps'.

I won't write today's date...yep I am THAT superstitious 👻 Read the below if you want - not really diet related although mental health impacts on our diet! Fridays are TOUGH for me for the below reasons: I finish earlier so I have to fit an hour of work in somewhere else. I have a meeting...

Thanks lovely! I enjoy reading yours too - it's nice to have friends who are going through the same trials and tribulations in the diet world. Even if we aren't on the same plan! x

12/09/2019 Afternoon! I have managed to be on plan since Sunday and I am feeling much better for it 🥳 Last night we didn't do anything particularly exciting! I cleaned the kitchen, hoovered and made bolognese for dinner. After that I had a lovely soak in the tub with a cold glass of diet pepsi...

Hi Sue! Good luck with your journey! I couldn't help but notice that you were walking in the lovely Rockcliffe...are you from Dumfries and Galloway? That's my home town, I moved down to Leamington to be with my boyfriend only a year ago :) Your photos make me miss D&G a lot! x

Thanks Lovely!

Such a great loss!! Well done :)

Hi Ali, thanks for those ideas! I hate cold hard boiled eggs but maybe some chicken, will have look for some low point/free chicken sticks too. I think that I would eat way more crisps if I was not tracking, I just love crisps! 😆Tracking has helped me see where my bad habits are, and crisps...

Oh I love Cath Kidston...I think we should make Cath Kidston day a national holiday! ;)

Morning Diary, Yesterday went well and I stuck to plan (ate all 23 points). I had a sandwich, fruit and some crisps for lunch and managed a 30 minute walk 🚶‍♀️ When I got home I was really tired again so I made my tandoori chicken which is such an easy recipe to make! My favourite dinner at...

Following :) Hope you don't mind!

Well I didn't make it to Spin last night, I went home and my friend asked me to cat sit for her. So I walked over to their house and got some cat snuggles 🐈 The walk there and back was around 40 minutes and my walk at lunch was 20 minutes so I completed 1 hour walking yesterday! By the time I...

Hope you feel better soon :) will be following your blog now!

Afternoon Diary, Have a lovely weekend - on Saturday I taught Spin in the morning and then went in to town to return some clothes. I had bought a co-ord outfit for going back to work but I have since lost 7lbs and it no longer fitted me :) On my way to return these I looked in the window of a...

Hi everyone, I am joining in. Hope I am not too late! I'd like to lose another 7lbs by Christmas - not a lot but I am being realistic as I love the run up to Christmas and all the goodies that it includes... I joined WW at the end of July and have lost 7lbs so far :) Littlemissnaughty -...

Thanks I will go over and have a look! :) x

Thanks lovely! I have been off track all week so hoping posting here will help me get back on it :) x

Yeah you can go to meetings at no extra cost :) Theres a new point system so lower daily points but more free foods! Hope that helps x

Hey everyone, does anyone still come on here from WW? I started WW for the third time in July while I was off for the School holidays (I work in a School, don't go to one!) and I have found I enjoy tracking again. So far I have lost 7lbs but have been off track this week as I was working on the...

I think I have joined that page too :) just wanted to do my own wee challenge for day-to-day body magic :)

16,009!! Probably due to going to visit friends but still an amazing result.

You can use things outside of SP as long as you syn it as far as I'm aware? If not its extra easy :-/ still getting to grips with this new plan haha.

I have recently bought a pedometer! I have heard there are great health benefits from walkig 10,000 steps per day :D So I am challenging myself, and anyone else who wants to join, to walk 10,000 steps per day. I will post my last count (before 12) each night. Happy walking :D

Hey everyone! I have been a bit off the wagon in regards to updating ya'll on here everyday. I have had a fairly bad week if I am honest. Not really in regards to food. I have managed to keep on plan about 90% of this week. LAst week my friend died and I had a job interview (all within two...

So! I'm not feeling great :( been staying on plan as I don't want to fall off the wagon. When I'm ill I tend to go to fast food for convenience and comfort. So after craving a pizza crunch with chips and cheese (omg gimme) I am now making the SW chips and using my HEXB1 for cheese (green day)...

Hey Liz! Thanks for subscribing :) glad to hear you are back on it! I am feeling rather unwell at the moment - just got a sicky stomach for some reason. Think theres a bug going around in this office!! But, I have managed to stick to plan although I think I am probably not eating enough :( but...

Thanks ladies! I ended up being so lazy and just made qourn sausages and fried eggs. Was good! My appetite has been rather funny the last couple of days as not been feeling too well :( night everyone

How many syns in this hottie hot drink? Sounds so yummy?

Well done on the loss! 2lbs is a good healthy loss :D I have seen on here that lots of people either have a low first loss or dont lose at all. Im guessing it's probably the shock your body is going through! Glad to see you haven't given up! Was also wondering which hot chocs were low syns so...

Ooooo nandos! I am hoping to have one of these at the weekend! So excited :)

:( that sounds utter rubbish. I can't deal with the heat!

I love chocolate too! I didn't miss it too much last week. But have been feeling it more this week, so seperated a bag of magic stars into 3.5 syn pots haha. So been munching on those for the last wee while!

I work in an open plan office with loads of windows! But doesn't seem to make any difference - the air doesn't circulate very well at all in here. I have clearly been out walking too much in the fresh air this weekend and my body doesn't like the change in air haha! I would hate to see no day...

Feeling very sick today :( felt better once I ate my lunch and had a wee walk outside of the office (even thought it is actually freezing here in Scotland). But back to my desk and feeling very sickly again :( swear it is the office air...or lack of actually :(:(:(

Ohhhh good luck!! You weighing in at home? Let me know how you get on. I find it hard not to pop on the scales and weigh myself too, but I've resisted. Yeah finding it really good. Easy to follow and feel quite full all the time :) how you finding it?

So here is where I will begin my Slimming world Journal :) I did begin one, in the wrong thread?, and I have no idea how to move it. I am in my second week of Slimming World and I have lost 2lbs so far, and that was on Star Week. So I am hoping for more of the same next week or a little more...

Well done! Thats an amazing loss :) coronation chicken sounds yummy, will need to try this!

I never realised slimming world weighers called it star week! I love this :D much easier to say that than the other explanation haha thanks :)

Nettee - yes! I had two of the milk choc slimming world bars :) they were super yummy. I also went to the pub last night and only drank diet coke! Angelicbee - piloxing is a mixture between Pilates and boxing! So you do some boxing for about 15 minutes then 5 minutes of Pilates and rotate like...

Im finding it really good! Was stuffed the entire time last week and when I was feeling hungry I just got some fruit or had a muller light yogurt (if I was craving sugar). Hoping I have a good stream of losses then I could lose a Stone by my christmas weigh in :)

Oh good luck! Are you joining a group? If so let me know how you like it :) I am just new as well. Started last thursday!

Yeah I wouldn't ditch the gym either! Want to lose weight and tone :)

Not my consultant! She encourages us to work out. But my friend at works consultant told her the muscle game will affect her weightloss! But this week they told her after a couple of weeks it will be okay to work out as her body will get used to it, so the weight loss would begin again. Weird.

Thanks everyone :) back on the straight and narrow today! Had a wee treat meal last night, enjoyed every bite. :)

Eats for 13/11/2014 B - muller light yog + apple L - homemade veg soup + 2 small slices of wholemeal bread (HEXB) + blackberries + blueberries D - something fatty and lovely! :D Liquids - water, pepsimax and milk (HEXA) Lost 2lbs this week! Just sitting in group waiting for it to start...

Well Done everyone! 2lbs off for me :D

Well done! I lost 2lbs! So happy my monthly visitor didn't hinder my weight loss. Also hoping for a better loss next week seeing as my water retention will be gone! :D

I am not a fan of spinach but I suppose if its hidden I wouldnt mind :) thanks!

Well Done! :D

Well done! :D

I had ANOTHER dream about food last night, this time pop corn that tasted like skips? Anyway my thoughts the entire time were 'omg I have ruined my slimming world for this week...'. This seems to be a dream I have every night with all different foods haha. I have began parking further from my...

This is true! I am going to try the cottage cheese ones next time :)

I'm doing this on my phone so I hope the picture uploaded? Recipe; 1 packet of mash flakes 1 Muller light yogurt 2 eggs. Mix all together and roll into balls. Stick in the oven for 20-30 minutes!

I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us :)

WARNING - this post may have too much information for some. But would appreciate some help/advice! I started my period :( I am so worried that this will affect my weight loss :( I will be so gutted. I weigh in tomorrow! Blah!

I made them last night! Will post a wee pic with recipe when I get home :) they tasted good but a little too sweet for me. Will need to find a different way to make them sweet that won't be sickly and is still free :)

The chips are amazing! My flatmate has a real talent at making them. Will be getting her to make me some soon! :)

Haha must just be a mum thing then! She was asking about slimming world though, she's tiny and doesn't need to lose weight, but really liked the concept of changing your mindset about food. She was asking what I can have free etc and says she will follow it loosely, just to eat healthier. I...
