Hi guys, I haven't been on here for ages but I'm back with the intention of jumping back on the SW bandwagon. I've just bought some raw chicken breast strips and fancy them in some sort of marinade but appear to have lost all my inspiration - any ideas? I'm planning on serving them with...

Cathedral City Lighter is on BOGOF in Tesco atm for their pouches of grated cheese which a) makes it a lot easier to use and b) is cheaper than buying a block of it at the moment anyway. :)

It's a national company - JJB which is now becoming DW Sports & Fitness or something similar but that's a nationwide thing too! I generally go either in the day due to working a late shift and that's when the older people are there - although there are exceptions or around 4pm and that's...

I'm probably not the best person to ask (I absolutely love going to the gym, sadly, haha) but if you could find a cheap gym, I assure you that you wouldn't be seen as 'the fat one!' I was amazed to see how many different people go to my gym, there really is such a mix of big people, small...

I've just had another cup of tea w/ 2 sugars BUT my cheese with my burgers was about 1/4 of a hexa. So meh! I forgot to say, spent another hour at the gym today. I'm really loving my current programme, it kills me whilst I'm there but makes me ache in a good way IYSWIM?! :)

Well done on losing 2lb! I used to live near Yate (Berkeley?) what a small world... Lol. Poor you re. car crash, I only passed my test 3 months ago and if somebody drove into me, I'd have been a wreck so well done again for coping so well! :D

Ooh, good luck with the running - I'm very jealous as I'd love an iphone! :( Lol. What are the quorn meatballs like? Do you buy them or make them yourself?

I'm a Residential Facilitator (ahem, carer) in a specialist college for young people with acquired brain injuries and physical disabilities. I love it, but am currently sorting my UCAS application as I hope to go and do a nursing degree in September 2010! :)

Ooh, your menu for the next week looks good - I might use it myself. ;) Haha. Well done on your WI this week, a stone in 3 weeks is incredible, be proud of yourself! :D

It's good to see you're still on here Taz, woop, look to be having fun on the roundabout! :)

So, back to the SW way of life from tomorrow! I'm actually looking forward to it a lot, I've also realised that it did help to have a diary on here to reflect back on good and bad days so here I am again. I'm intending on recording food/exercise/the way I'm feeling in here so I hope that's...

A roast dinner...! Cauliflower cheese, yorkshire puddings, the lot! ;)

Thanks everyone, you've made me feel really welcome. :D Well, good news, I'm the same weight I was when I stopped 'doing' SW - 216lb. I'm pleased I've not put any weight on but it's just a shame to think if I'd stuck with SW throughout the summer what the results would be now. Thanks again...

Thank you everyone, I'm off to Argos to buy some new *accurate* scales! I'll post my starting weight when I get back, here's hoping it's not changed too much...! :)

Hi guys, I used to attend classes from Feb-June time and lost nearly a stone... I stopped going to class and although I haven't put all of the weight back on... (thanks to my gym membership!) I realy need to do something and NOW! In February, it's my 21st birthday and I'd love to be able to...

Still battling on guys, the heat is slowly killing me off mind! :P Lol. Looking forward to sweet chilli pork steak, SW wedges & salad for tea. :)

I'm currently cooking some chicken breasts stuffed with quark, garlic and parsley... ahem, and covered in breadcrumbs. Hello SW friendly kiev! :)

Thank you Weemo! It's been a very long weekend at work and I'm absolutely knackered. Today's not been 100% but I'm off to a safari park with students at work tomorrow, already made my packed lunch so can't really go wrong! I'll let you all know how it goes... aslong as a tiger doesn't get me...

I do mainly either 7am-4pm shifts or 2pm-11pm shifts. If I'm on a red day, I find chopped up quorn sausages/morrisons eat smart sausages are nice, as is ham, cold cuts of beef or chicken in a salad. Homemade vegetable soup is also free aslong as it doesn't contain peas or potatos! On a...

1.5 off! Woop, this is good! :) And today's food as follows... B: 2 weetabix (hexb) & milk (hexa) with 1 tsp sugar (1) bowl of berries & mullerlight. Sn: french fries (4.5) cup of tea (2) L: baked potato & beans, apple & yoghurt. celebration choc (2) Sn: mugshot T: Pasta bake with peppers...

I've made it through the day with 7 syns! :) I know now is my ahem 'danger zone' of snacking so as soon as I got through the door front work, I've made a mugshot and am about to eat that. WI tonight and I haven't been for two weeks, I'm hoping for at very best a STS but I'd just like to know...

Stick with it nic-hola, 1/2 a lb is nothing and you've got the power to stop that gain right where it is! :)x

Hi Weemo, It's been a little while! Pleased you're still sticking with it, you're getting there and looking lovely in your avatar!x

Please can I resign myself from this challenge but I'm determined to join another one very soon!:sigh::o

Your yoga bloke sounds like he knows a thing or two?! I was up your neck of the woods the other day (woop woop for Bristol - by the waterside is absolutely gorgeous) and thought of you, hah. :)

A loss is a loss whatever way you look at and all those slightly smaller losses add up to make a big big change! You can do this Fitz!

Amy needs a kick up the arse! Here I am again. It's now come about that my brother's epilepsy isn't going to just sort itself out over night which as much as we all wished would happen, this is not the case! I've accepted that eating chips, McDonalds and the like aren't going to make me the...

Well, since my last update... I've fallen off the wagon. My tooth was awful but last week I went to the dentist and have had another temporary filling put in, that evening, my brother was admitted into hospital with a massive epileptic fit and has only been let out today so yes. I've been...

Sorry to be a pain. I didn't WI last week as was working but went to WI tonight and lost 1.5lb so maybe could be 0.5lb off last week and 1.5lb off this week? I dunno. :) But it's 1.5lb gone! :D

I've been having really rubbish problems with that annoying tooth still but oh well. Haven't been totally angelic over the past few days but I'm now trying a bit of damage limatation until WI on Thursday. Today's a green day... B: 2 weetabix (HexB) with milk (HexA) and 1 tsp of sugar (1...

Good luck Hen, you can do this. :) x

Congrats on your loss - all those 1lb's add up! :D

Is your lentil soup homemade, if so, please could I have the recipe? :) Hope you enjoy your walk! :D

So today's been as follows: B: 2 weetabix (HexB) with a tiny amount of milk (HexA) and a mullerlight over the top. Sn: Cup of tea (2 syns) and a digestive (2 syns) L: 2 homemade burgers, a few SW edges (HexB) and some roasted vegetables. Sn: Cup of tea. T: Massive salad with remaining...

Yesterday wasn't so great, I had to go to the dentist and basically one of my fillings has slipped and caused nerve damage to the tooth next door. Hello £85 dentist bill! :eek::( I ended up eating soup and yogurts for the rest of the day (and 2 packets of wotsits, ahem, they're known for their...

Soo, another weekend zoomed past. Yes, I've been naughty but I've come to accept that if I'm still losing weight and I'm happy then it's okay, on average I'm losing a 1lb a week and if I can do that whilst still at this point being able to go out at the weekend/eat a few naughty meals then it's...

1.5lb off for me tonight! :)

Well done you! You look stunning and should be very proud of yourself! :Dx

I'm feeling a lot better to be honest, thanks for asking. I have a silly habit of letting things get on top of me when it'd just be easier not to bottle them up in the first place. 1.5lb off at WI tonight so I'm happy with that, very happy infact! :) I'm aiming for another good week, however...

Well, I'm nicely bronzed. Infact, I'm actually a bit... paler than I'd like to be. But yeah, no streaks! :D

St Tropez, I had a spray on version of theirs at the local beauty salon last year and it was gorgeous - it's just a bit more scary when you're stood in your bedroom with your Mum covering your back in brown goo. Haha. :)

I stopped smoking in October (before I found the light, ahem, SW!) and although I was eating a fair amount of crap only put on 4lb! :D Sugar free lolly pops were my saviour, I even managed to go with the smokers for their dirty dirty fags whilst I sucked a lolly. It made it a whole lot easier...

So ladies (and gents if you're so inclined...?!) Who loves fake tanning, who hates it? :) I'm currently modelling a very ... dark colour of brown on my lily white skin as so I'm no longer the 'pale and interesting one' within my group of friends, it smells sort of like biscuits and I'm...

I'm just about to go in the bath actually, lol. Red days work for me, they always have but I find them a) harder and b) more expensive. I've done 5 days on the trot of them and I'm sure that I'll lost a few lb compared to the usual 1lb a week however I have felt very tired/weak at times which...

06/05/2009 - Extra Easy Day! B: 6:00am: Two pieces of toast (HexB), 2 pieces of ham. 9.15am: A bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes (&HexA) and a banana. L: A massive salad with a chopped up chicken breast, a bag of wotsits (5 syns?) and a mullerlight yogurt. A tiny celebrations choc too. (2 syns)...

I'm sorry. :( She sounds awful! Please don't eat the ice-cream though, you'll feel worse for it.x

Woop woop, just been to New Look and can now fit into a size 16 top - I bought it too and some new 'normal range' size 18 jeans, happy me! :D:D:D I know there's a long way to go but it feels like I'm actually now moving onwards and downwards. :)

04/05/2009 - Red day B: Big bowl of raspberries covered in a mullerlight. 2 pieces of toast (HexB) with a few pieces of ham. L: Homemade turkey meatballs with garlic, red pepper, ginger and chilli in them served with salad. 2 Celebration chocolate (4 syns) T: As above, haha, oh dear. Except...

I've just had a lovely brunch with 2 sausages (2 syns each), 3 pieces of bacon (fat removed), some tinned tomatoes, a baked flat mushroom and 2 pieces of toast - yum yum. Oh, and a tsp of ketchup for good measure. ;) Yay for frylight! :D

02/05/2009 - Red day B: 2 Weetabix (HexB) with milk (HexA) & tsp of sugar (1 syn), mullerlight. Sn: 2 pieces of ham. L: 2 homemade burgers topped with bacon & a small amount of cheese (1/4 HexA) with a few sweet potato wedges (3 syns), salad and a tsp of ketchup (1 syn) T: Cold chicken pieces...

The 1lb was last week, sorry. My WI is on a Thurday evening? Hope that makes sense now... :)

Say nooo to chips. They never taste as good in reality as what they smell anyway, lol. Good luck Betty. :)

Well done on your loss T4A, that's brilliant! :)

Thanks for the encouragement Louise. Re. the job, we're having a meeting ASAP is all we've been told, I'll wait 'n' see... Anyway, 1/2lb off which isn't brilliant but atleast it's something, I really don't deserve it though. My weight loss for this month has been rather pathetic (ahem...

I work shifts but don't do night shifts however I remember when one of the nurses at work was following SW (and consequently resulting in losing 6 stone in a year!) she made up lots of super free vegetable soups/quorn sausage casserole so basically bulking up on lots of free foods. On top of...

0.5lb off - I'm aiming for 2lb this week, woop. :D

I've had an awful awful week and totally fallen off the bandwagon. Lots has been going on at work and I'm feeling very insecure that I may not have a job for much longer - they're changing everything around and it's scary stuff. On top of that my brother's epilepsy is out of control at the...

I lost 1lb this week...

That looks delicious! :)

So, as much as I once again have over indulged this weekend, it wasn't half as bad as usual and I'm feeling positive! :) Proper update later.

Cooked chicken pieces with the skin removed are always yummy on a red day! :)

Haha, it ended up being burgers... again! 1lb off tonight at WI, as it's been said before - it's a lot better than 1lb on! :D

I love your upbeat take on life, it makes me smile... :D A big big well done for being SOTW and getting out of the 300's! :)x

You most definitely are skinny! :P

I'm also planning on making the most of this salad weather - pleased to hear you're back on track. :)

What brand of onion relish are you eating Laura? I love the stuff and it must be good as it always features in your food diary! :) Lol.

Gloucester. :o:cool:

Yeah, thank you RM07! :D

15lb please! :)

You won't look like this much longer Jodidi! You've got the power to change it and I think that's one of the key things to remember - I need to remember it myself sometimes! :)

Fuffs, you can do this! :D And the fact you chose NOT to have a week off has really inspired me - thank you. x

Thick white bread toasted with lots of proper butter yum!

That's a brilliant loss - well done!x

:D Congratulations on fitting in a size 12! That's brilliant!x

Well you'll all be pleased to know that it appears *touch wood* that I'm back on the straight and narrow(er)! Red day - Tuesday 21st April B: 2 x toast (HexB)with jam & spread (3 syns) tea (2 syns = sugar) Sn: Banana and an apple, 2 cocktail sausages (2 syns) L: 4 chicken kebabas, green...

I had chicken kebabs for lunch after looking on here for inspiration however due to having no passata, I used a mixture of a tsp of balti curry paste and 2 tbsp of fat free yogurt. It was gorgeous, and the chicken stayed really moist! :D

I'd like to join please! It'd be brilliant to give me something to keep a bit of focus me thinks! :)

I'm thinking of making some vegetable soup and maybe having some cooked chicken pieces with it? Hmm, not sure. :)

Well, the past 2 days haven't been exactly virtuous but meh, I'm going to be honest. Saturday - Extra Easy day B: Beans on toast (2 syns spread) L: Pizza Hut :sigh::o 2 slices from large pizza and 2 slices of garlic bread with cheese. :( (30 syns?!) T: M&S tinned chicken curry (5 syns) with...

I have good hair, and eyes. And boobies. Haha. :)

Lol, that just demonstrates pure dedication to the peanut butter - nothing to be ashamed of, maybe SW could create a syn friendly peanut butter?! :D

I used lollies when I stopped. It really did help in the beginning, and chewing gum! :D

It's good. Have you tried it on a cut up apple? It's like... sexy fruit.

Today has been pretty good - my first ever Extra Easy day! Any feedback as to if this looks okay would be brilliant as it almost seems too easy... :) B: Beans on 2 slices wholemeal nimble (HexB) with 3 tsps of spread (3 syns) L: Chopped up chicken breast with a mixture of salad leaves, 2 Pagan...

We're only humans, and we all make mistakes. x

I'm not sure if this will help but I think the mustard powder we've got is like in a big yellow tin. Colemans?

I know exactly what you mean, I work at a college and quite enjoy the fact that I can only eat at set times rather than grazing throughout the day - lack of self control, lol. :p Oh well back to work on Sunday for me...

You can do this Weemo! We're all e-behind you!x

Hope you have a good night out tomorrow and don't let the hormones get the better of you! :D Evil girlie hormones. x

Hope your first day back at work isn't too bad and well done on your loss this week! :)x

Have a lovely holiday!x

You can do this Annie! :)X

Well, 1/2lb gain this week but I totally deserve it. :( I've been eating rubbish and drinking alcohol far too much this week/end so it stops today. It's also been hard as I've been off work for 2 weeks as it's Easter holidays and so I'm a lot less active than usual. So no more excuses, back...

The meatballs look lovely, well done for STS!x

15/4/2009 - Green day Milk used as 1/2 of HexA in tea throughout day. B: Beans on toast (1/2 HexB) and bowl of raspberries with fat free yoghurt. L: Pasta and homemade tomato and onion sauce, sprinkling of cheese. (HexA) T: Turkey breast (1/2 HexB), loads of new potatoes and a mound of green...

I'm on a green day and just had a bowl of pasta with homemade tomato and onion sauce and am now eating a bowl of raspberries with fat free yoghurt and a drizzle of honey. Yum yum.

Back on the bandwagon... I've decided to accept that I'm only human and stop beating myself up over something that has already happened. Onwards and downwards! I'm planning on helping my Mum sort out the garden today, woop. :)

Once again, I am utterly disgusted by my... eating/alcohol habits this weekend. New beginning begins tomorrow. I'm really rubbish, seriously. No wonder I only lose a lb if I'm going to eat rubbish for 4/7 days a week. Meh.

Of course it wasn't! :( It never is but do we learn...? Hopefully one day. :) The only thing that makes me feel slightly better is once upon a time my brain wouldn't have even considered this to be such an awful thing e.g. eating two 'lots' of fast food in a day. At least now I don't eat like...

:) Thanks. Infact, that evening I ended up making the curry using 2 tbsp of Balti curry paste and then synned every portion as 2 syns. It was looovely. :D

I eat massive bowls of it with natural yogurt and a drizzle of honey, yum yum. :D

Aah, we've all been there - see my latest diary, lol. I've had a Mcdonalds and a chinese in the past 24 hours so... I'm in no position to judge. :(

*head brick wall* Will I ever learn? In the past 24 hours, I've managed to consume 2 pieces of white toast, a McDonalds meal and a chinese. :(:(:( I'm going out pubbing/clubbing this evening so not much hope. It's almost like because I know I've lost a lb, my brain thinks 'ah you can do...

Bristol's good, I love thee Bristol! Especially Clifton, I dream of being rich and hip enough to live there. ;) Lol.

Woop woop, all these 1lb's add up don't they? I'm pleased you're feeling positive. Hope you have a lovely Easter weekend. :)

I'll be missing the lemon ones. :( Maybe if we send an email to Muller protesting that they become a standard line?! ;)

Aah, I'll come to Bristol and be your personal trainer, lol. :) Go running up and down the Downs in Clifton - always good looking men around there, ALWAYS. Have faith in yourself Taz, you can do this! :D

Well, I lost 1lb! It's better than nothing, I know, but I was hoping for slightly more. I've got a funny feeling it's my star week coming up and last time I gained 2lb the week before so here's hoping. :) Had a mixed up day, mix2match maybe?! I'm not sure. B: Beans on toast (HexB) L...

If you're talking about the vanilla with dark chocolate sprinkles Gemsy, then no, it's syn free! :D:)

1lb off for me! I'm remembering the 'Just 1lb' post! :)

I'm awful for jumping around like a mad woman after losing a lb - let alone HALF the weight I want to lose. You're an inspiration! :):D

Well done you! That's amazing!x

I'm currently doing about 20 minutes everyday on the Wii Fit, however I've vowed that once I'm down to 15 stone, I'll start swimming again! :) It's more of a ... goal in my head rather than a feeling of being self concious holding me back tbh.

Red Day - 08/04/2009 B: 4 x bacon, 2 bits of toast (HexB) L: 2 sausages, some roasted mushrooms/peppers & salad. Bowl of lemon and passionfruit mullerlight & raspberries. :D Sn: 4 pieces of ham T: Two homemade burgers, SW chips (HexB), 28g grated cheese (HexA) and some more salad. Syns: 6.0 -...

Wow! Look at you! :):D You look fab. x

I'm having a red day today and it definitely 'feels' harder work than a green day... I do feel more as if I'm on typical diet type plan on red days. Meh. Might do a mix2match day and have a green meal this evening! :)

I concur... :p;)

That's so positive! Well done Annie! :)x

I tried a dress on yesterday that I bought to wear last summer however I was too self concious to wear it. It's a really lovely long maxi dress and I was quite upset at the time that I might never be thin enough to look 'okay' in it. After trying it on yesterday, I think I'll be lucky if it...

Good luck T4a, you can do this! Lovely avatar btw! :)x

You can do this purpleangel and I'm sure you're stronger than this. It's bloody hard work being a woman sometimes but you'll get there. Stay strong. x

Woop woop! That's a brilliant loss, well done!x

Yeo ValleyOrganic do fat-free yogurts, I love their plain natural one with loads of fruit and a teaspoon of honey on top. It also says they do a vanilla one, a blueberry one and a strawberry one! :D Yeo Valley Organic - Our Products - Fat Free Vanilla Hope this helps Maharg. x

For tea I ended up having Ainsley's roasted vegetable cous cous with a small piece of chicken. I didn't really like the cous cous though. :( So ended up making some SW chips, yummy. Just finished another bowl of fat free yoghurt with melon and grapes... 3rd bowl of fruit and yoghurt today -...

Aah, Easter eggs and their callings to us! I'm sure you're not the only one around this time of year to give into their chocolatey goodness, lol. Good luck for your WI Maverick, I'm sure it'll be better than you imagine hun. :) 07/04/2009 - Green Day B: Beans on toast - ahem, 3 pieces of...

A bit OT but I tried a couple of those Quorn dipper style pieces earlier and they were lush - tasted virtually exactly the same as normal chicken dippers, nyom nyom! :D And only 0.5 syns per each one! Hope you make something lovely with your quorn fillets.

I went to the Dr's ages ago about them (must've been about 12/13) and he said it's all in our genes and it's inherited from your father?! Lol. Who knows.

I've also just demolised 1/2 a pineapple with some fat free yoghurt and another digestive. ;)

Have a lovely birthday PandaGirl and enjoy yourself at the all you can eat - I'm not jealous, much?! Lol. x

Add to that half a pineapple, better, yes? ;) Lol.

Congratulations - that's brilliant!x

Hmm, some raspberries and two apples. Meh. Oh dear.

Today's been very virtuous, I just need to make sure I don't crumble now after tea! :p Green Day B: 2 x Nimble toast (HexB), bowl of raspberries with a pot of mullerlite over the top. L: Big bowl of wholemeal pasta with a chargrilled chicken breast (HexB), bowl of mixed salad - at the...

Thanks for that Annie - very useful! :D

Options hot chocolate could be your saviour?! ;)

Hi guys, Does anyone have a tried and tested recipe for vegetable curry? I'm trying to impress my Mum with something lovely for tea but also show her that it can be 'SW style'. ;) I've already got; 3 sweet potatoes 2 peppers Bag of baby spinach Mushrooms Onions Everyday cupboard bits + a few...

Good luck! You can do this!x

Well done for sticking to the plan! Let me know what the couscous cake is like? I keep saying I'll make some but never get 'round to it! :(

Good luck with your WI Lou!x

Well done for staying positive regardless of slightly slight gain! :Dx

Don't say that Sue! You never know, you may have all the young men chasing after you! :P Hm, it's definitely strange when you men start to pay you more attention, it feels as if you were almost invisible before? I like it though, lol. ;):D

Currently I only 'do' red/green days, the concept of Extra Easy seems too much like normal eating IYSWIM but in time I hope to incorporate atleast a few days a week of EE. Sadly, it'd be impossible to nip out of work to be weighed but I'm seriously considering going to another class for the...

Congrats on your HUGE loss!x

Well done on your 100% days, hm, the Curly Wurly thing (having 1/2 in the morning, 1/2 in the afternoon) seems a V good idea - may nab that one myself! :D Lol.

Well done on your losses Laura! You're on fire, dododo. x

1lb off, a lot better than nothing!

I'm guessing the scales are being very nice to me at the moment as I lost 1lb this week! :D:eek::eek: My body seriously isn't going to continue being so kind so I'm now sticking to this, I know we've read this plenty of times since me starting SW (only just a month ago... Shocking) but I mean...

James Corden, pahah.

Thanks ladies. Well, I haven't been very good - AGAIN. I need to stick to it properly from tomorrow, even been to BK today. Wah, when will I learn? Hope you're all feeling motivated. x

Well done you! I'm well impressed by your loss, might motivate me to stick to the plan 100%!x

Hope everything works out okay lovely. x

Right, I went to WI and lost... 3 1/2LB! I'm so pleased, I thought all hope was lost but apparently not. Tomorrow really is onwards and downwards, but I really am so thankful that I haven't gained.

Aah, I am officially rubbish. Tonight is WI, I'm going to class, I'll get weighed and then from tomorrow, I'm back on it. It all started last Friday having Nando's and then going out in the evening, then having a hangover... It's awful. But yes, I'm feeling terribly embarassed about my lack of...

I'm back on track after a disasterous weekend - I've been eating like a woman posessed. Rubbish. :( Onwards and downwards from tomorrow though! Trying to keep positive.

Chicken breast wrapped in bacon with mixed vegetables 'n' gravy. Nice 'n' easy.

Floor to ceiling mirrors are officially horrible! Lol. Good luck with your WI tomorrow. x

It does look lush and yet I still haven't got round to making it. Tomorrow night's tea me thinks! :D

Well, the virus has well and truely gone which is a good thing! Just ate some more pasta bake that I made earlier on as tis *virtually* free! ;) Early shift tomorrow at work and then lates until Friday which is always a bit of a struggle. :( I'm going to find it hard coming home and not...

I am 'whitepigeonface', don't ask! Lol.

Do you people mind if I follow you too? :o Lol.

I'm on it! :)

Thanks for the support Louise! :D I really do hope that I'll have a loss next week. Well, I think we'll refer to last night as a very flexible syn night. ;) Went out with a friend and ended up decidedly drunk. I'm sure today will be a lot more restrained and controlled, lol. Hope you all...

Well done Gemma! :D

I had a chicken chow mein as a treat last night after WI and it really wasn't worth it, lol. I'd have much prefered that loaded hashbrown again that StaceyUK posted earlier on in the week... My stomach felt weird afterwards 'n' really dehydrated - all the salt and MSG I guess. Yay for us and...

With a little marshmallow on top of the hot chocolate, obviously. ;)

Ooh, yes, have fun on the phone lines! :) Well done on your loss. x

Hah that is true Circes, it looks rather pityful sat there on a plate. :( Lol.

Hmm, it does sound weird tbh. :/x

2lb on. :( * week, mind, but still. I have genuinely stuck to the plan so I'm hoping for a decent loss next week. Anyone else have this problem when AF is visiting?! Please tell me yes. Lol.

2lb on. :( It is my * week though so maybe that's why...?! 2lb seems a lot though to be honest. Does anyone else put on the lb's like this AF is due a visit?! Oh well, going to have my chicken chow mein as I vowed I'd have it and then move onwards and downwards tomorrow. :D

Hm, I don't like them when they go soggy but they're lovely griddled in a griddle pan with a few sprays of frylite to make sure they go lovely 'n' crispy!

Aah, I think grapes are good for making you poo? Atleast it wasn't prunes, maybe try 'n' see it that way. Lol. x

Well done on going to your first session, IMHO opinion, that's the most daunting bit of SW! Good luck for your first week. x

Aah the evil AF mood. It's also affecting me tonight, along the lines of 'I'm due on so is there any point in going to WI this evening?!' But I'm gonna go. I also agree with DearFatty about breaking your long-term goal into much smaller short-term goals. I think I might set about doing this...

They look lovely, will be making these one night this week. Stacey, you could be the next Delia in the SW(world!) :D Lol.

I think that they're the same thing. Zucchini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahh, congrats!x

I'd say to put it bluntly, that's NOTHING compared to what I've been known to demolish! e.g. today Breakfast: Bacon on wholemeal roll, bowl of mullerlite and melon. Lunch: Chicken and salad, bag of french fries, more melon. Snack: 2 pieces of toast. You see my point? ;) Lol.

Well done you! :Dx

WI night and I've decided I'm having chicken chow mein from the takeaway for tea, as a treat, lol. Noodles are good on green, oui? ;):D

It's 35g dried and 100g once it's cooked, I think.

Hope you feel better soon! Teeth are awful when they play up. :(x

Woop woop well done. I can almost feel the positivity oozing from this thread, lol. :)

Well done on your loss, is the Smash pizza nice? :D

Hope tonight went well! :D

Lol, I'm hearing you on the Thursday night treat. I've already found the takeaway menu, it's rather tragic. Well done on your loss last week and I'm sure you'll do well this week! :D

RED Day - 11/03/2009 B 1 at 5.30am: Bacon roll B 2 at 9.30am: Bowl of pineapple, Muller light yogurt and a tiny sprinkling of granola L: Spicy chicken breast salad, bag of french fries, Muller light yogurt and 2 clementines. S: Apple, wholemeal roll T: Piece of gammon (fat removed), green...

I want to feel comfortable within my own skin... I also believe my weight holds me back in various different ways e.g. men, holidays, experiences (bungee jumping), clothing choices - sad but true. And this is why I'm doing something about it. :D

I'm well impressed by how much weight you've already lost - if I have anything similar to that sort of weight loss after 2 months, I'll be seriously pleased! :D I think joining a class could be a really good idea, it almost seems to 'keep me going' each week if that makes sense. x

Our consultant brought it up at our last meeting, I'd be interested as to if it tastes very different to using normal frylite?! :)

Haha, I've got one too but thought maybe it had accidentally fallen in there or something.

It was LUSSSSH.

Yesterday went fairly well. I can't remember exactly what I ate as I forgot to write it down, meh but I would've remembered something really awful! Lol. Today's my first day off since Thursday and it's been lovely just to sit. Went into town shopping earlier and spent too much money on clothes...

Planning on making this tonight - can't wait! :D Will let you know how I get on.

Hi and welcome Judith!

08/03/09 - Red Day B: 2 x Morrisons eat smart sausages, bacon, baked beans, mushrooms and toast. L: 2 Clementines, mullerlite yogurt, hot cross bun. :( T: Chicken (no skin), cabbage, carrots, 1 tiny roast potato and gravy. HiFi bar, melon and blueberries. HexA: Milk x 2 HexB: Bread...

Woop woop, well done Claire! :D

Hiya Louise, thanks for the welcome! :) Nope, still got this virus Rainbow. I think I'm gonna give the Dr's a ring tomorrow and see what they say, it's just worrying me to be honest. It probably is just a virus but as I still haven't physically seen a Dr, I think it might be worth making an...

That looks well yummy!

Good luck for tomorrow and hope your roast pork is lovely!

Thanks Gemma, yep, drawing a line is the way forward! Lol. Hope you had a good day yesterday... Hi Ronnie & Weemo, hope you're both doing well and feeling motivated!:D 07/03/09 - RED Day B: Bacon, 2 x Morrison's eat smart sausages, baked beans, 2 x toast L: Mullerlite, bag of French Fries...

They're officially my favourite. :p

I tried the Morrisons ones today - not too bad tbh.

I like to put my hands around my wrist to see if they've shrunk. Lol. Oh dear...

Mm, I love the Skinny Cow range and am particularly partial to their chocolate ice cream.;):heartpump:

Thanks Gemma and Rainbow - you really are a friendly bunch! :) At the moment, I've got this horrible virus that's making me feel very unsteady on my feet/slightly dizzy and therefore a bit low. The dr's have said it's just a virus but it's making me start to feel a bit down so have decided if...

Aah, I totally see the 'thing' in James Corden... Can't wait for Lesbian Vampire Killers. :D:D:D

Nyom, lucky you going to Prezzos - I have no suggestions as to what would be best for you to have but their carbonara makes my tummy very happy, lol.

If you freeze melon, it goes all lovely and hard... 'n' then you have to suck it before you can chew IYSWIM (Ooh err.)

Well done on your loss this week! Woop woop, I want some stuffed crust pizza now though, lol.

Hi, my name's Amy and up until last Thursday, I'd never have known what a red or a green day was... :p The diary will be full of the highs, the lows and the down right ugly bits of losing weight. Thankfully, this weekend I'm working which keeps a good amount of structure in my life and stops...

Well done!x

Woop woop, I lost 4.5lb! Pretty good for a first week I thinks. :D Well done to everyone who had their weigh in today, even if it wasn't the loss they were hoping for! :)

That's an ace idea of putting your day's worth of snacks in a bag! Think I'll be starting the same... ;):D

It's my first WI tonight and I'm a bit nervous as past few days haven't stuck to the plan as rigidly. :sigh: Felt a bit rubbish due to this virus thing making me feel dizzy all the time. Here's hoping I've atleast STS. :)

Homemade meatballs, wholemeal pasta (HexB) and tiny bit of cheddar cheese over the top (HexA). Yum. :p

I bought some the other day in ASDA, nyom, they're lush! :gimi:

Thanks again everyone. I'm sure I'll have enough syns Taz, don't you worry! :D
