2lb off this week - very pleased :-)

Only 1lb off not sure what I am doing wrong... it is TOTM so I suppose that doesnt help... I am doing extra easy and I think I need to up my fruit/veg & salad... I'm still positive though and determined so that can only be a good thing..

Only 1lb lost but I shouldn't really complain considering my weekend went a bit to pot! Oh well here's to next week....

Hi I have just started back at SW (today) and will be doing it from home for the time being to save money, I weighed myself this morning and my weight is 13 st 4lb eek, I keep faffing about, so now I think it is time to stop messing around and get my ar*e in gear and start losing the flab...

Hey chin up Fern You probably havent lost anything because there is nothing left for you to lose - you are at target! You must be so proud of yourself... Things might be 'poo' at home but keep your pecker up, things could be 'poo' and you could be very overweight - so think about all that you...

Starting weight 14 stone 2 1/2 lb First weigh in 14 stone: 2 1/2 lb loss I am quite pleased but I made a bit of an error when I first recorded my weight, I weighed myself in the bathroom which has cushiony lino - came to weigh myself this morning and my weight changed everytime I stepped on...

Hi Dave Thanks for sending me a message. I have now moved over to posting in the food diary section, as I think this will be more beneficial at the moment. Don't want to bore people with all my woes lol :jelous: I tend to do mainly extra easy days hence only having 1 hea and 1 heb. Check...

Sunday: extra easy Breakfast/brunch: omelette with mushrooms, tomato, red onion & 3 babybel lite. Tangerine. Tea: Roast chicken with roast sweet potatoes, parsnips, SW roast potatoes, carrots, cauli & sprouts, gravy & yorkshire pud. raspberries, sliced banana & partially frozen mullerlite. 1...

Fresh finger... Ewwww! :eek: Hope you mean fresh ginger Ricky ;)

I think posting a food diary on here everyday rather than just doing a general diary will be better for me, so here goes: Friday: Breakfast: Mullerlite yoghurt, tangerine & banana Lunch: Jacket Potato, baked beans and 3 babybel light melted on top. toffee muller I also have mugshots...

Hi Yesterday was a success, apart from non SW at lunch, which I had already planned as a flexi lunch the rest of the day was 100% SW with shepherds pie in the evening and drinks were coffee and diet coke, so yay another evening of no wine!! Breakfast today was mullelite and banana For...

Wow fantastic! You are definately in the zone:happy036:looking forward to being there myself soon... Well done!:clap:

I agree with Bayside & Marie... enjoy your day off and have a great time - but make sure you get right back on plan the next day. I think as long as you sort it in your head before you have a flexi day then it is easier to justify and get back on plan tomorrow - my downfall has always been...

Hi Marie Yes first day went very well 100% SW and probably used 6 syns if that and definately no wine!!:D Feeling a bit brighter today, I think this diary will help me to keep focus and I will join a class when I am ready I think. Today, apart from breakfast as I had a mullerlite yoghurt...

Hi Marie Thanks for your kind comments and words of wisdom! I know what I need to do, so just need to get my head down and do it!! Easier said than done sometimes :confused: I have done SW loads of times... I don't know why I am messing about, because I really enjoy it when I get in to it...

Hi On the advice of Dave (laddiesboy) I thought I would take the plunge and start a diary in the hope that it will stir me into action and get my life sorted out!!:eek: I am 14 stone 2 1/2 lb and am at my heaviest! Life hasn't been great these last 8 months, but I need to stop feeling sorry...

Hi Marie Thank you for your lovely message and for thinking of me, it is always nice when somebody takes the trouble to respond. I understand what you say about going to class and I probably will start to, but I really don't want to join again only to not go after a couple of weeks, I need...

Hi Dave Thanks for replying to me... I have joined SW countless times full of enthusiasm only to blow it by listening to the little man sat on my shoulder and reach for the wine!! I have no willpower! Tomorrow though, I am going to give it another go, I won't go to class, not until I know...

Hi Dave I am a compulsive lurcker... I log on to minimins most days and very rarely post until today, as I have just finished reading your diary and would just like to say that you are amazing! I can feel the enthusiasm you have for this diet and for life in general and am hoping it will rub...

Hi Stacey Sounds lovely - how big would you say that your cup is? Is it like a tea cup? Sharrie

Thanks Rosie I have been feeling a little brighter these last few days - I think I hit rockbottom last week as I realised that this is really what he wants (I have been clinging on to a glimmer of hope that he might change his mind) I even said to him that give me 6 months and I will lose...

Hi Rosie I have been on such a downer these last 3 weeks or so as my husband has decided to end our marriage of 23 years - but one thing that has put a smile on my face everyday has been reading your diary entries and jokes. I hope one day soon I will be as focused as you and start making...

Thanks Weemo Decided not to join SW this week but will do next week. I am out for a meal tonight and then I am going up North to visit my family tomorrow until Tuesday - so will join next Thursday... Thanks for all your good wishes x

Thanks 'Fallen Angel' I can't see any positives at the moment and can't seem to move forward. I feel so lonely. I could do with a brain transplant and remove him from my mind for 6 months.

Thanks Thanks to everybody who has replied to me!! I am finding it really difficult at the moment - I have an ache inside me which wont go away, I am heart broken! I keep thinking of all the negatives like him starting a future without me, making plans, without me and worst of all meeting...

Last weekend, my husband decided that he wanted to end our marriage after 23 years...:cry:

Well I am 5ft 7 and 14st 41/2 and 20 top and 18 bottoms...

A Sunday school teacher is concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus, so he asks his class, "Where is Jesus today?" Steven raises his hand and says, "He's in Heaven." Mary answers, "He's in my heart." Little Johnny waves his hand furiously and blurts out, "He's in our...

Great thread! I want to: - stop snoring - be able to join my husband when he goes off running - I would love to run a marathon with him eventually - have the get up and go that my husband has - be able to wear nice clothes and not be forever covering my fat stomach - get undressed in front of...

Cheer up Topper! put this down to a mini blip - I have plenty of those:rolleyes: What helps me is reading the posts on here and reading through back copies of SW magazines. Also if you feel like picking all the time make sure you have a stock of low fat noodles, pasta n sauces or make a SW...

Thanks Irene - with your help I have managed to do it.

Hi Skinny thanks - I tend to save my sins up for the weekend just in case we go out for a meal etc. I did used to save up so that I could have alcohol at the weekend but if (I hope I can do it) I stay off the alcohol like I intend to, especially as I crave food the next day if I have a...

By the way, after watching the programme on ITV last night re: alcohol consumption - I think I definately have a break from it, hence the alcohol free beer querie! :(

Hi Ruthy & Anne You are both so right and feeling sorry for myself isn't going to do me any good! I am going to do the SW plan at home for a while (see how it goes) as I have joined and rejoined the group near me so many times and I have heard that the latest consultant isn't very good - I...

Hi MrsB - I would love you to post the recipes, they sound lovely!

That's it, I've have had enough of being fat!! Every morning I say to myself today I am going to start to change my life, then every evening driving home from work I seem to have a little devil on my shoulder saying go on, buy that bottle of wine or go and get something nice for tea and start...

Afternoon all Can I add my 8th week weigh in? It's a dissappointing -1lb off. I have been 100% good! Its the TOTM but I really wanted a good weight loss because I go away on Friday and wanted to have the extra encouragement not to eat! So 26lb lost since 3rd Jan 07. I have a 10k to run...

Okay - will do. Thanks anyway.

Hi Toots Thanks for the advice - not really done any exercise although I have a 10k next week and 3 days skiing (help!). Plan to run/walk the 10k. I am being told that I will need to eat before I do the 10k - what do I do?? Sharon

Hi Toots I am on day 50 of LL and am still waiting for that increase in energy to kick in - is there anything I can do to get it going? We have 3 flights of stairs at work and where before LL I could run up the majority of them, now I am struggling to walk slowly up them!?! Any advice would...

Thanks everybody for replying - its really good to hear from you and know that it is normal to go through these ups and downs. I have weigh in tonight and am hoping for a good weight loss as I only lost 2lb last week which is sooo frustrating after being an absolute angel! Although I stopped...
