Good Luck Miss_M_77 Good luck with your restart - I'm restarting today after many years of having stops and starts and now weighing heavier than I did when I was pregnant!

Hi Hun Looks like you are doing well and never mind about the bread maker!!! I am sure you will show a loss next week, I did loads of exercise last week and had a sts but I lost 3lb this week and am so pleased as I wasn't that good!!! I hope you have a good week x

Good luck for you WI hunni I am sure you will have done just great!

Well the weekends over and hopefully I haven't done too much damage! I didn't get much exercise done which I am really annoyed at but there is nothing I can do about it now! I have a dental appointment this afternoon (which I am dreading as I need 2 fillings) the dentist has said that mymass...

Morning Mother of 2! I totallyknow where you are coming from with the whole partner leading you astray, my OH sits on the sofa of an evening and eats all sorts, I usually end up doing the same and hating myself for it in the end. My eldest, Callum has become very aware of my eating although he...

i am usually the same but I decided that I needed a kick up the butt so I bought a exercise bike this week and I have plonked it in the living room (thankfully we have quite a large room) and so far I have been enjoying building up times in front of the telly!!!! I also got an annual pass to my...

I might do that motherof2?? I could try and cycle 100km in June - that should be dooable as I did 6 in just 20 mins, actually 300 km might be a bit more of a challenge. I will have to have a think about that!!!

ASAP lol!!!! I would love to have it all off by July but I think I may be setting myself up for failure with that one!! we are heading over to Yorkshire to see the inlaws then so I would like to have lost a bit but I won't worry too much if I haven't as long as I have toned up and look a bit...

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew the syn value for Wicked pig Firecracker chilli flavour - they are on offer in Tesco at the moment and are a bit like fridge raders! Also I would like to know if anyone knows the syn value for Dale Farm Spelga 2% fat strawberry flavour frozen yogart they have...

Wow that is a great loss since March you will be well and truely on target by next year!

Hi motherof2 I have just come accross your diary and it reminds me a lot like mine. I am a restarter that fell off the wagon after loosing 2 stone and I have put 1 back on again. I am now determined to get the stone off again plus a little!!! I have a diary on here as well if you want to...

Sounds like you are doing good so far!

That Friday Feeling!!! Thank you Kiki, I hope to stay on the wagon this time!! You have done really well lossing 27lb. That is a mega achievement. How long has it taken you to get to this point and have you a date when you want to get to target?? Well it was another lovely day weather wise...

Hi there, I hope you enjoy SW! Yes Supernoodles 98% are free on green and EE days! Its a great diet isn't it!!

Well its a whole new day and the weather here is lovely. It really puts a spring in your step! For today I am planning a green day. Breakfast: 2 bananas (not a lot in as need to get shopping!) Lunch: L/F supernoodles, Snack: Dinner: Spagetti Bolognaise with lean mince, Cellery, onions...

Hey Hun, Congratulations. First of all don't panic the stress will not do you any good. All the advise you have recieved so far is correct. You will be able to claim maternity allowance from 26 weeks and definately get into contact with tax credits as soon as baby is born in order to change...

:D:D:DWell this is my diary! I have decided to start afresh as I am starting SW with a new frame of mind (hopefully). Last year I managed to loose 2 stone with SW however, at Christmas I let go of the reins and I have put on a stone:cry:. I have tried somewhat unsuccessfully to try and get...

Not really I think that is half the problem! I am heading off for 2 weeks to visit my inlaws in England and we have a 40th Birthday party whilst we are there so that is a little motivation. Last year I had my brothers wedding and that was such a great motivator as I really wanted to look good...

Good luck hunni I am sure you will do just great and get into the dress size you want. I am a restarter too however I am finding getting motivated a bit tricky. I lost 2 st last year and then put on a stone at crimbo. I still haven't lost it and as I have said am finding motivation a problem...

Bless hun!!! Are you new to SW? x

I am sure you will be just fine hun, just remember that all that moving was exercise so you mightn't of had a gain at all. Good luck for class tonight x

Well today is another green day I had a bit of an eating fit last night so I need to pull it together today me thinks. Yesterday I had: 2 boiled eggs, yogart and apple Scone - 12 syns 2 chocolate brownies (hand head in shame) peanut butter and toast (heb and further hanging head) chicken and...

Well I have lost 1lb this week which I am pleased with as in reality I have lost 3lb since Monday as I was a bit naughty over the weekend so that will do for me!! I am determined to be good this weekend though as I have too much weight to shift to be going mad at the weekend. So for today I...

Thanks Chipbutty, he was rather nice actually!!! We weren't allowed back home until 10pm so I was too tired to even think about it although I couldn't manage to get to sleep either as there were hellicopters flying around until 2am! Oh the joys of living in northern ireland!!! My diet did go...

Well this week isn't going to plan already!! I am eating like a horse and every time I go to my mums I seem to gravitate to the Naughty cupboard!! I was woke at 6am this morning by a police officer telling me that I needed to evacuate the house due to a bomb being left at the local police...

Welcome hun I am sure you will be very sucessful on SW. Keep us all posted on your progress x

Well WI this morning I'm still at 10st dead. Not bad considering it * my first in 2 years! I managed to scoff a whole easter egg half a snickers bar, a milky bar cake bar and half a cadburys tiffin bar. Not so good. Today will be better though! Red breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, Apple Lunch...

Well I am back..... Again!!!! Its been a long few weeks full of rollercoasters and Jon and I are again working at making things right for us. I have over eaten to compensate for how I am feeling and am right back up to 10st. I have put the brakes on everything though and am back on track. so...

Thank you so much Mary, Jeez were to start with everything that is going on, well I am trying to stay on track with SW I managed to loose another 3lb and then sts last week I am hoping to have another 2lb off this week and with the stress I am under it looks like it is possible. Jons Grandma...

I hope you are feeling better hun xx

Well so far so good, I have been behaving and had a sneaky jump on the scales this morning and 2lb off. I am not setting my heart on the fact it will still be off on Friday though!!!! Yesterday I finshed off any chocs in the house (only a few) so went slightly over syns but not overly...

Hey Huni, I'm glad to hear that you are still doing really well. Sorry I haven't been on in a while but I fell off the wagon in spectacular fashion as my head wasn't in the right place and I have had the mother in law and nana in law staying with us for 3 weeks between them - not so good!!!

Great losses guys - sorry I haven't been on in ages but head was a bit mangled and fell off the SW wagon in a big way! Glad to say that I am back on again (with additional lbs) as of today so will let you know how I am getting on. x

Hey Guys, after a long, long break I am back! Things were a little manic since I last logged in and in truth SW has gone totally out the window resulting in a large gain in the past month. Thankfully things have settled down I have gotten my head around everything and have decided to get back...

Hey Hunni, so sorry I haven't been on in ages but things a little upside down here! I am sorry to hear that you haven't been well and am glad that you are bak on the mend. I agree with the other girls hun, if you are comfy at the weight you are at the moment don't worry too much about sw...

OMG I don't think I will bother then!!! I can't believe the lady selling it was saying it was low fat etc and had a notice up about WW points. No wonder she didn't know the syn value ...... or did she!!!

Hey fantastic losses guys, SW is obviously working for you!!! I have WI tomorrow morning and i'm not holding my breath!!!

Does anyone know the syn value for madras sauce from the curry sauce co?? Thanks in advance x

Hey hun 6lb is great you have done so well. Roll on next week!!!

I don't see why not huni - welcome aboard!!!!

Congratulations huni you deserve it, your food diary is looking great. Roll on another successful week for you x.

Hi guys welcome on board! You will both find minimins great for advice and support. I do sw from home and I would never have gotten this far only for this forum!!! I hope you enjoy it. Mrs Lac, just click on user cp on the top left hand side and then go to edit details. Well I managed...

Hey Huni I'm glad you are feeling a little better today. I am finally getting back to work today as the snow was really bad with us yesterday and Monday so the school was shut and the roads were so bad I didn't dare venture out. Funny you mentioned your Joints hurting, my hips were agony...

Thank you huni we had a great weekend. I hope to post some pics on here for you to have a peek. The food in Zen was amazing and I even managed to persuade Jon to try Octopus Sushi (it was raw as well!) It was lovely and has opened up a lot of foodie ideas to Jon! I ate loads over the weekend...

Hey Hun, Just catching up with everyone. How are things going weather wise with you? I've heard that parts of England were as cold as -26 this morning on the news! I though I had it bad going to work when it was -8! Jeez I can't imagine how cold that must be. I hope that you are keeping...

Hey Guys, never worry I managed to put on 7lb over crimbo and I have shed 5lb of that already! My best advise is to sit down with your books and go through them again, after that plan, plan, plan. You will be back on track in no time at all. I am hoping to have 10lb off by the end of Feb so...

hey hun, just catching up after ages away!! Congratulations on the loss, it sounds like you are determined! I hope you have a great weekend and you keep up the actual effort over the weekend! x

Hey Hun, I am so sorry to hear about your jobs, I am sure that you will find a job as you are a lovely person. On the plus side at least you have a little bit of time to find something and I am positive you will. Congratulations on the loss you sound like you have your head in gear and I am...

WI - first of 2010 Thank you Weemo, I am so looking forward to it. Mum has the kids tonight as we are heading away in the morning. We are hoping to get to St Georges Market and then get booked into our hotel. The rest of the day will be spent sightseeing and shopping (Jon has never been to...

Hey Hunny Happy very belated Birthday. Sorry I have been on in what seems like ages. Life has been manic here for me between my new job, the festivities and the snow. I hope you are keeping well I know that the snow up your end of the country has been quite bad compared to where I am. I put...

Happy new year everyone - a bit late i know Happy New year Everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful new year and christmas and that not too many lb were added on! I know I put on loads over the festive season but I am glad to say that I have managed to get my head in the right place and get...

Its nearly christmas! Good morning everyone, not long now until Christmas!!!! I am at work until Wednesday and am trying my best to behave foodwise!!! We have our work Christmas party on Friday night and although I made a true pig of myself with desert I was well behaved with the old...

Well, its Thursday again, one more day until WI.... oh dear! Thank you guys for your words of encouragement I will try and keep tabs on everything and hopefully the damage from the festive season won't be so bad after all!! MommyB my new job is fantastic, I couldn't have moved to a better...

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I can't seem to stop eating things I shouldn't. I need my jaws wired! I don't understand my way of thinking or not thinking at the moment. I want to loose some more weight, I want to tone up but yet I sit and eat rubbish and do no exercise. I'm rubbish...

Hey hun, 1/2 off is great, never worry about being a little over its not the end of the world and sure you will still have a great time away!x

Morning Hun, I can totally understand where you are coming from when you say that your head is not in the right place at the moment. I am all over the place. I want to loose more weight but just cant stop myself from eating chocolates! The office where I work is great and I work with a girl...

Thanks Hun, unfortunately I am bowing to temptation at the moment! I bought some chocs for christmas and merrily made my way through them last night! Oh well I guess it is very unlikely that I will have a loss this week and am kinda thinking that a gain will be likely!!! For today i am...

hey Hun just catching up after what feels like a very long absence!!! I hope all goes well for wi hun, I'm sure you will be just fine! x

Hey Hunni, Just catching up, I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your days / nights out. x

Morning Guys, well I have almost finished my christmas shopping just 1 or 2 more to buy for! I have tried to be good this weekend but succumed to a box full of hazel in caramel and caramel barrells!! Not so good! This week I'm going to try and get another 1lb off so I will only be a few lb...

Morning guys, just a quick one! Everything is now settling down and I managed to make to and from England in one piece last week. I managed to get through 14 hours of driving on 14 hours sleep so I am thoroughly proud of myself!! I have also managed to shake 1lb off the 2lb I gained last...

Sorry I haven't been around much guys but I have moved jobs and my computer at home has been broken! Thankfully all fixed now. Last week +2lb This week -1lb!

Congratulations on your loses guys, sorry I haven't been around this week but totally manic and we are away this weekend so probally won't get to pop back in until Monday! I hope you enjoy the market its fantastic and I am so envious!! Have a great weekend everyone x

Well guys I am just popping by, I haven't managed to get my computer fixed so I have borrowed my mums!!! I have started my new job which is fantastic and the people are really great. Unfortunately everything else in my life is its usual madness and my diet has gone down the tubes! We are...

Hey Guys 1lb off for me this week - am on the scenic route too!!!!! Have a great weekend everyone x

Well its my last day at work so I have come in armed with 2 homemade chocolate cakes - one of which I have already had a piece out of for 10 o'clock tea! Jon has just rung to say that his Grandma hasn't long left and that we really need to fly over to England and she her and that he wants to...

Hey Hun, never worry about a tiny gain you will have it off in not time at all. Panda, that is the great things about SW you really can eat loads and never be hungry - enjoy it!!! WI tomorrow for me, fingers crossed!!! x

Thanks hun! Hopefully I will get sorted by Monday and be back online!!! Well I did a dry run this morning to my new work and thankfully mananged to get there with 10 minutes to spare!!! I'm still not too sure how long it will take me on a tuesday when I have to be there for 9am but I guess...

Thank you hun for the SE Stuff I think I am doing it right!! Good going on the 1/2 lb, and there you were thinking the worst!

Morning Hun I hope you have a great weekend. Unfortunately I don't know when I will get speaking to you on here as starting my new job on Monday. I do intend on getting my computer sorted this weekend but my brother is over from England with his missus and my niece to I will probally be caught...

I know what you mean Mary I get a great feeling from knowing that the house is clean and tidy! Unfortunately yesterday didn't turn out to plan and by the time I had pick the kids up, took callum to the Dr - he is having a lot of nose bleeds again, it was half 4. I was not having a good day...

Hey Hun good luck for Wi, I'm glad I'm not the only one to not label stuff in the freezer! I always think " I'll definately know what that is!" I've ended up with some funny food combinations due to that thought! x Ps. you might be able to help me hun, with SE does all meals have to be 1/3 heb...

Oh Huni I am so sorry to hear that you had another bad night. I really don't know how you keep going, I would be so grumpy. I hope you get a better nights sleep tonight. x

As last nights munching was not so good I need to be extra good today. Thankfully I am only working until 1.30 and then I head off and get the kids so it will be nice and relaxed. I am planning an afternoon of cleaning the house and trying to get a bit more clutter removed so wish me luck!!! I...

Hey Guys I forgot to post on Friday 2lb gone for me!! I'm hoping for a steady 1lb a week from now to Crimbo so fingers crossed! I'm sure you will manage 10lb claire you are doing great so far. Welcome to our wee online group Lesserme!!!! I know what you mean about the weather making you...

Bless hun you are a busy bee. I hope you have a great time away with you hubby and enjoy the breakfasts they are the best bit!!!! Gosh you sound mega organised for christmas, I have gotten a few bits but I think I will have to leave most of it to the last minute as I am going from a weekly...

My weekends over! Well its Monday morning all over again! I had a lovely weekend and really enjoyed myself. I was a little bit naughty however I could have been much much worse so I am not annoyed at myself. My nose is firmly back at the grindstone today and that is where it will stay! I had...

I hope you have a great day and weekend Mrs V, I wouldn't worry too much about the cake it was your birthday after all!! x

2lb off for me this week! Now to keep on track for next week!

Morning Hun I hope all is going well, Thanks for reminding me about the deb sale I have got a few bits for christmas! x

Friday WI and its good News! I WI this morning and I have lost 2lb yeah!!:D:D I am so pleased with that as I was sure I was in for another STS. I am going to keep my head on things and be good (or as good as poss) over the weekend and hopefully have another loss next week. My plan of...

2lb off for me! I am so pleased. Good luck everyone x Gem - sts Ellie - 2lb off :D Sanicholl - 2lb off!!!!!

Gosh guys you are all doing so great! Good going for the hubby too Paula! My Wi is tomorrow and lets just say I am not holding my breath, I have been good this week but my scales are saying a gain this morning (sneaky WI). Tomorrow the truth will be out!!! lol x

I hope you have a great weekend Mary and that your hubby has a good day too! x

Green Day! Thanks Weemo, I had a feeling it was just red and green days so I changed my day to a red - I just didn't have any noodles with tea!! We have organised to have friends round this saturday as our curry night didn't happen last week so I guess Saturday will have to be a flexi syn day...

I think its a good idea to be honest. You are under a lot of stress at the moment to taking the pressure off where SW is concerned is sensible. You are best taking each area of your life in managable pieces as they will be easier to deal with which is what you are doing. x

Hey Hun I wish you all the best of luck in getting to target. It must be extra hard with being a Uni. x

:birthday::birthday: "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Mrs V, Happy Birthday to you!!!!" x Have a great one whatever you do! x

Hey Hun I hope you have a great day shopping and get everthing you want without too much hassle. Never worry about a little gain, you will get that off quick sharp! It doesn't look too good for me this week either WI on Friday and a sly jump on my scales is showing that I haven't lost...

Hey Hun I'm glad you had a good weekend and that the film was good, I think I might take callum on Sunday morning if he remains good for the rest of the week (he has been great this week and we are currently on day 2 of mummy not getting cross!!!). Jon is helping with his homework which is...

Thanks Mary, SE is going well and to be honest not much different to what I was eating anyway, I made a bit of a slip up last night as I used a heb as part of the 2/3 free / superfree. I only realised this morning so I will have to keep an eye on that! I had a quick jump on the scales this...

I think I will probally have flexi syns over christmas. I am making the dinner this year and not having any extra for dinner (ie its just me, the oh and our 2 kids) and then heading to my mums for the evening so I am hoping there will not be much in the way of temptation. Fingers crossed.

I have to admit I find it really hard to get back onto plan once I have fallen off the wagon too. I find that by making alternatives ie quark and nutella with fruit it helps me steer back onto plan.

I do too! I spend every waking moment thinging about what I can have (thankfully not what I can't) and how I can introduce different foods to my diet.

Good luck for tonight hun I sure you will be just fine. x

Today I am determined to de clutter my life so to speak! I am going to sit down and decide what I don't need be doing in the morning etc so I am less stressed. I am also going to give the house a good clean when I get home and get some things moved round and de cluttered. Food wise I am going...

Hope you had a great weekend hun x

Hey Hun I am glad you are feeling better and I hope that today will bring more light at the end of the tunnel. Keep you chin up xxx

Huni no wonder you feel down on yourself *****BIG HUGS******* Everything will work out just fine hun honest. x

Hey Hun, your consultant will never think that! Tell her that you were on holiday and she will completely understand if she doesn't she is not human and has never had a bloody good holiday!!!! I had my OH Nana stay with me for a week and a half, I stuck to SW friendly meals and through...

Hey Hun I hope you feel better and that you go to WI, I feel very off keel at the moment too and can't seem to stick with my diet but I am blaming the weather!!!! You will be just fine, just draw a line under it and if you feel like doing something similiar in the future remind yourself how...

1lb is better than nothing hun, you are doing great x

I drink loads of it and have done for a while now. My favorite is green tea with cranberry and the jasmine green tea. I found that my losses are better when I drink a lot of it but i always put that down to the fact that I was more hydrated and peeing more!!!!

The weekend is over and now its back to sw! Well as you can see the weekend didn't quite so as planned and i managed to eat a few unexpected items such as 2 ring donuts and some ice cream! Oh well I am just going to have to try and pull my head out. I am good all day but when Jon sits down...

Hey Hun sounds lovely, I wouldn't worry too much about a little slip up, at least you resisted the cake!

Hey Hun I hope you had a good day yesterday and that you managed to be restrained when it came to your takeaway (I have no idea where you get the willpower from I am so pathetic when it comes down to saying no!!) x

Its a great diet - sorry "life change"! I know what you mean about getting your head round it, it can be daunting but so flexiable once you get the hang of it. Good luck with your journey hun x

Bless hun I have a partner like that as well! Only hes not very good at Crimbo, Valentines or Anniversaries either. This year he has been warned though!!!! lol x

Hey Hun I hope you are feeling better I suffer with migranes too but thankfully they are not as severe as they used to be. I'm sorry to hear about your climb, its better safe than sorry though! Have you any plans for Wednesday ??

Hey Hun, 1lb loss is great better a 1lb off than a lb on!! I stayed the same this week and am gutted. I really wanted something off - oh well I guess there is always next week! I hope the christmas shopping goes well, I managed to get a few bits yesterday and feel so much better for it! (i'm...

I sts this week and am gutted, I was good and didn't go over 8 syns all week (apart from yesterday as I had a chinese to celebrate a new job). Next week I will loose something (probally my head!!! lol) x

Congrats on the 2lb loss hun you have done really well. I want to go see Up at the cinema too so you will have to tell me if its as good as they say! Unfortunately my WI was not very sucessful this morning and I have sts I think I may have to pull my socks up and get going. I think I will...

Its good news - just not for WI! Well weemo my interview went really well and I liked the office - people etc. They gave me a call yesterday afternoon (in the middle of my interview with callums teacher!) to offer me the job!!!!:D:D:D:D:D I am really pleased as I think I will fit in well. I...

Gemstone - 2lbs I sts this week - not happy as I have been trying, maybe next week will be good. x Clarri - STS LaLaLou - 2.75lbs Ellie (PB) - 1lb Sanicholl - sts

Well done hun 2.5 lb is a great loss. I WI this morning and have sts which I am really dissapointed with as I have been good! Ah well onwards and upwards (or downwards in the old weight dept!!) x

Very True Clairebear, the slower the weight is coming off the longer is likely to stay off! As long as its coming off and you are enjoying the diet and the food then keep with it hun! x

Interview day! I am in the office for a an hour this morning so I thought I would pop by and update my diary! Last night I had a bit of a to do with Callum again so feel like I am a bit back to square one. My books I had ordered arrived so at least I had some interesting reading last night...

Good Luck hun and congratulations vikki that is amazing also good going, mollys mum and dotty! x

10/10 for me today!

Oh and SW chips how could I forget them!!!

Chicken Curry the SW Way!! Cheese and beans on jacket potato Quark with nuttella and strawberries Hot chocolate with wippy cream! Cooked breakfast!

Well done hun, Keep up the good work! x

Oh sounds lovely hun. I hope you had a great time swimming with the girls. x

It is so cold this morning!!! I am currently trying to defrost my fingers by typing to get them working again! Last night I was very good and made sw chips - they turned out delish so I had loads with stir fried chicked with tinned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions, cellery spices and...

CONGRATULATIONS hun!! You have done fantastic.

I currently can't feel my hands it so cold this morning. I hate feeling cold!

Yes its the Nutella for the syns, thankfully quark is free!:D Another alternative to this is quark with a sachet of white choc options, very nice with strawberries in the summer! x

Well done hun 3lb is great! x

Congrats Hobbit Head on your loss, also Sarah good going hun on facing your fear and starting again. Good luck with your journey. Welcome Kizzib, I am sure you will find SW a lot easier that WW (and more filling!!). Good luck for all those who are yet to weigh in this week and I'll keep my...

Fingers crossed for tonight hun, I think I may have to give SE a go to give me a little boost! x

Thanks hun I will bear that in mind when I go. Thankfully I had the chance last night to sit down and break everything down into managable pieces which make me feel less overwhelmed and that has worked. It just seems at the moment that when one thing is out of the way something else takes its...

Hey Hun, gosh you really have your SW head on! Thankfully I think I am back on plan too (as of yesterday!). Its lovely down here too so I am hoping that the rain stays away and I will take the dog and kids out for a nice long walk this afternoon before tea. I hope you have a lovely day out...

Stay away from the scales!!!!!!!! lol! 2lb loss gosh hun that is some going, Fingers crossed for you for monday that the 2lb increases. I'm sorry to hear that you had another restless night you certinally will need your sleep for you climb on Saturday so I hope that you manage to get a few...

Thanks hun, I tried to rep you but need to spread it around!! I hate that saying!!! Its so hard trying to sort kids out isn't it. I never know if I am doing the right thing and no matter what I do I feel guilty. I need to be a little more relaxed though as I feel that I rant too much and fly...

I can't decide what to have for dinner tonight as I had planned to make curry but my OH has invited friends round on Saturday night for a curry night so I have decided not to make one (however if anyone has a nice jalfrazie recipe I would be grateful as I have lost my SW EE cook book:o). I...

Much More positve I am feeling loads more positive today and back to my old self thanks mainly to Jon!! I had a very relaxed evening last night, Callum stayed at Mums last night to give me a little break this morning so I only had Elle and even though she was being a monkey and not going to...

Oh I had it last night with bananas and 1/3 lf digestive biscuit was lovely. Even OH liked it, i think it would have been better with strawberries and raspberries though! x

Hi Hun, I also do SW at home, So far I have lost 23lb (it was 25 until last week major blip lol!). I have found it easy enough however I am taking the scenic route and find that when I fall off the wagon its usually hard to get back on whereas I would imagine being at group would be an...

Hey Hun, god I could be writting this!! I still don't really notice a difference 23lb later, my Mum has told me not to loose much more for fear I will get "slimmers diease" not sure what that is!!! Bless her!! I wouldn't worry too much about 1 chinese, if you are on a green day then you aren't...

Bless hun, you will be sick of jumpers yet!!! x

Huni the dress is devine, you were right to stick with it and I'm sure you will look beautiful. x

Hey Hun, I do SW at home too as I can't afford the extra a week. When you mentioned that you had lost 13lb already it really struck a chord with me. When I lost my first stone I found that for a few weeks it was as if my body was saying no more and I struggled to loose anymore for a couple of...

Like Mrs Determined my bad day usually ends up in a 3 day bender! There is no point in beating yourself up, just try and get back on track by planning and cutting back on syns for the next few days (no lower than 5) and all will be ok.

I hope all goes well for you hun x

The Nutella and quark is something I NEED to try!! Thanks hun x

I am sure you will be just fine - I bet you have a loss!!! x

Hey Hun, it may be that your body is taking a while to "catch up" with SW and the exercise. Sometimes are bodies don't do what we necessarly expect them to! Has you consultant checked your food dairies to see if there is anything that may be holding you back?? You may also want to post...

I know what you mean, I used to say to my OH that when I lost weight I would be some sort of sex kitten!! Hardly, more wooly mammoth!!:D

I totally agree with this Ninja, you really need to get baby into a routine and life becomes so much easier. Both mine sleep through from 4 weeks and I have never had any problems with them getting themselves to sleep. Anyway, about the bouncers I had 2 different ones for my two children, one...

Jeez it was cold yesterday wasn't it? I went to bed with my dressing gown and PJs on. My OH must think his dreams came true meeting sexy old me!!! I'm like Jaylou - I feel the cold easily. It wasn't therefore, wise of me to move to one of the coldest places I've ever known! Brrr! Where...

Bless Hun, I have to admit that my best nights in are the ones involving a pair of thick socks, a roaring fire, a duvet on the sofa with a hot chocolate! Unfortunately that doesn't say much about my life does it!!! I know what you mean about heating being expensive, I have Oil Fired Central...

A friend of mine (who has lost a lot of weight) asked me yesterday if I noticed the cold more now that I have lost weight and as I have I wondered if anyone else did. I also now hate it that I need to wear big coats and jumpers which hide the fact that I have lost weight lol!

9/10 for today all I am saying is what is with the starter question??!!

I have to admit I'm really lazy too, like Jaylou I am knackered at the end of the day. In the summer I will go for a mile to 2 mile walk every night but I don't do much in the winter. I keep promising to do my Davina dvd but thus far haven't managed it (or found the right time of day to do it...

Hey Hun I can definately relate with the cold thing I don't think I warmed up all weekend! Good luck with climbing Snowdon you are a braver woman than me!! x

Hey Hun, good going with recording all your food and sticking to plan, I wish I could say the same I feel I may well be in for another increase this week again!

Hey Hun, Looking good in the picture. Did you have a good weekend? I keep meaning to post some more pics on here but I keep forgetting to take my camera to work with me!

The Weekend is over and now its back to work Well the weekend is over and I managed to eat my own body weight in buns etc. Its so not good. I was sat on my sofa last night thinking about what to eat next even though I felt midly sick from the amount of buns I had just eaten. I just doesn't make...

I am proper chuffed!! I have been doing SW on and off for a year. I lost half a stone in the first few weeks (all I entinted on loosing before christmas last year) and then didn't start again until April this year. I went on to loose the rest in dribs and drabs (I had a few weddings, holidays...

Thanks hun, tried to rep you but need to spread it around!!! The jeans are really nice too and lovely and tight around my calves just like skinnies should be so I was a little disapointed that they were too big. I had thought about keeping them anyway and just wearing a belt but then remembered...

Hey Hun, I'm sorry to hear about your gain, looks like we're both in the same boat this week! Its good that you have drawn a line under it hun and are positive about the week ahead and are planning a shake up. I need to be super good too. I hope you have a lovely weekend and have a fab time...

Hi Guys I'm from Co Armagh, I have been doing SW from home and have lost 23lb (it would have been 25 only for a very naughty week this week and last!!)

9/10 for me!

Good Luck hun I'm sure you will do great!

Cheers hun I bet they won't have a size 8 in stock now!!

I would love to be at target for christmas which is 9lb. It is achievable but I have been very lazy lately......! I'm defiantely going to give it a go though!

Unfortunately guys 2lb on this week for me, purely my own fault for falling off the wagon whilst my other halfs nana stayed for a week and a half for our youngest birthday. They WILL be shifted by next weekend! Taz SD Jools 1lb off Gemstone 4 squatters (days numbered) Clarri 4 squatters (days...

Good going guys what fantastic losses! Unfortunately I put on 2lb this week - not surprising with what I have been eating over my daughter birthday (week!) well I am back on the wagon and determinded to loss something this week! x

Hey Hun, I hope you enjoy your revenge and cake!!!

Hey Hun hope you are feeling better and that you didn't go too mad with the chocolate last night!!! I wi today and 2lb on!! I kinda guessed as much but still had a little glimmer of hope that I had fluked a sts!! I hope you WI goes ok hun x

Friday - wi day and its not good but better than expected! Well, I left Nana to the airport yesterday. I was really sad to see her go as we get on so well and its nice to have her around (even though she drives me mad about the kids!):cry::cry::cry: I managed to get my shopping done on the...

Morning hun I hope the WI went ok. 2lb on for me!

Bless Hun it sounded like you had a great night out though!!! And you have been very good since!! x

Where did I get Phill from????? Oh dear obviously my head has gone too!! lol

As did I Phill, it was practially straight from the cow (farmers daughter!) and I found that I never had any colds etc. I now drink shop bought semi skimmed and always have colds - obviously my immune is lower now!

An alternative is to take those toastie bags into work and cook sw chips in the toaster (if you have one) and have with cheese and beans (believe me it does work!).

Lucky you having all those fire works displays, I really miss Guy Fawkes night (we don't celebrate it here in N Ireland). I used to love going when I lived in Harrogate.

Thanks girls I hope I manage to claw something back in the next few days!:rolleyes::fingerscrossed: Weemo, Dublin Zoo is a bit better, for a start its all on the flat which makes it a lot easier to walk round. They have some animals that Belfast don't have as well like the rhino and hippos and...

Hope all is ok with you hun, and I'm glad that you sts this week, roll on next week and a loss for you. x

Hey hun just catching up after being off for Halloween. CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have done so well. I have to give it to you hun I couldn't have stuck FF for a day let alone a week. You deserve every one of those 4 lb! x

I had a sts this week but not to hopeful for Friday!

Hey Hun, just catching up after being off for the weekend, I hope your day is going well I am hoping to get back on the wagon after falling off in spectacular fashion!!! Oh well roll on friday to see how much damage I have inflicted on myself!!!

Morning Mary, Just a quick catch up as up to my eyes at work with it being my first day back#!!! I'm glad that the party went well. I know what you mean about your head not being in the right place, I just can't seem to get my head back into SW, well not so much my head but I am eating without...

Weekends over now back to work and SW!!! WOW, what a weekend it has been! Elle had a great birthday and we managed to find Dublin zoo - eventually:confused:!! Unfortunately Dublin City council don't seem to think that sign posts for major attractions are a good way of spending their budget -...

Congratulations hun, I do SW at home and would be lost without this forum! I have lost 25lb so far with 7lb to go and currently I'm taking the scenic route - but enjoying it!! I have a diary on here if you wanna take a look!

Keep up the good work hun and have a great weekend (I won't be on here til next wednesday so good luck for wi too - you will be just fine!) x

Hey Hun, I think that you are making the right chocie in heading off plan for a few days. I definately think its a good thing to do every now and again and I do it nearly every weekend!!!! I hope that you sort everything out and have a fab weekend without the kids playing up!!

Hey Mary, *Big Hugs* I hope you managed to get a better nights sleep last night. Try not to stress too much about what you have to do, I'm terribe for stressing and I drive myself and just about everyone else mad doing it! I am sure everything will fall into place without too much worry. This...

Thursday - I'm off work tomorrow woohoo! Well got everything done yesterday that I had planned to do and even managed to get Elles costume!:D:D I did however manage to buy 2 1lb bags of "misshaped" chocs from the pound shop (they are all gadbury choc, mosty caramels that arent totally smooth...

Congratulations everyone who has lost. Not bad only putting on 4lb whilst on hols - you will have that off in no time and have your 5 st award viki.

I usually do green days and drink approx 8 - 10 cups of green / herbal tea a day. I find the more I wee the better my losses!!!!

Hey Hun, looking good so far. How are you finding SW?

Jeez hun that sounds a little harsh. I'm not sure I could do it as I eat quite a lot! I hope its going well for you and that you are not missing fruit etc too much x

Bless hun I know how you feel there really must be something in the air making are kids into little monsters! I have Jons Nana staying with me (she only arrived at 8 yesterday morning) and by 6 Callum had played up so much I was ready to leave! (Nana doesn't believe in ANY kind of punishment...

Hey hun, I hope that you are managing to sleep a little better. I know this may sound a little mad but my friend went through a stage of not sleeping well and she changed her bedroom around, got rid of all the clutter and non essential electrical items and she found that it really helped her to...

Well yesterday didn't exactly go to plan and I fell off the wagon a bit when faced with chocolate. Boy did it make me feel sick! I think I will try and be a little better today although i think this whole week may be a bit of a disaster - and next week as well now that I think about it!! Nana is...

Hey Hun, Don't worry too much you will be just fine and it will fall off you. I wouldn't be surprised if some of that 3lb is fluid hun, after I have had a few naughty days i find that I retain a lot more water than normal and feel really bloated!

I'm really guilty of doing this. The thing is I don't own a set of scales so I drive to my mums to weigh myself which is even worse! I also got so confused one week between what I had weighed the week before (official WI) and what I weighed mid week that I thought I had put on a lb when in...

Hey Hun, I'm glad to hear you are being positive and not worrying too much if you have a bit of a blow out. The way I look at it is as long as you enjoy the blow out and its not massive then what the heck! Good luck for WI hun x

Cheers hun, sounds like a good idea to me!

I probally sound really stupid but what is FF??

Hey hun good luck with your hunt for a slow cooker. Is a slow cooker the same as a pressure cooker?? My mum bought me one years ago and I have never really worked out what to cook in it! I'm crap I know!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! What a joy it is to be sitting at my desk not moving!!!! I got everything done last night and even managed a little tidy round! I did however be V naughty and share a pork chow mein with jon and I also had a very greasy chicken cheese roll with sweet chilli dipping sauce...

Hey Hun, good luck for next week, Don't worry about sts at least its not a gain. I wonder if our bodies sometimes need a little time to catch up? I found that when I lost a st I sts for a few weeks and then went back to having good losses.

A photo of myself at the zoo with my kids did it for me, as well as my clothes being tight (photo is in my profile page if you wanna have a look).

1lb off for me this week!

Hey Hun, you have the right attitude, sometime life does get in the way and turns things upside down for a bit but if it didn't there would be no enjoyment. I do hope you feel better after your bad news, I understand what you mean when you say you go off track when your are emotional, I do...

Hey hun, just catching up, I hope your daughters allergy to sleep is starting to wear off. I'm really not a nice person when i don't get enough sleep these days (I'm sure its an age thing! It never bothered me when I was 18!). Good for you taking your own low fat cheese.

Hey Hun, Congratulations on the 2lb loss, only 6 to go! You will have it off and be maintaining by christmas you lucky thing. How is the dress hunting going?

1lb off for me this week at last!

The weekends over! Well, the weekend is over and thankfully I had a good one! I didn't eat too much bad stuff apart from a mcdonalds yesterday which included a caramel mcflurry - which was devine! My house inspection went great although he hardly looked at anything and I had to ask him to...

I have my fingers crossed for a lb off this week as I have been a little better behaved but I can't be sure as I feel sluggish and bloated (probally stress). I'm WI in the morning first thing so I have to be good tonight!

I seen that last night and thought that I might give it a go - looks so delish. Saying that though I was in Tesco last night and they didn't have very many butternut squash and any they did have were over priced. I thought that they were in season at the moment?

Hey hun, never worry what is a lb anyway? Sorry to hear that you are feeling a bit low, I have to admit that I am not feeling so great at the moment and could cry at times. I wonder if it is the change in season and all these horrible dark mornings? A look to the positive though hun and you...

Hey sweetie I am so sorry to hear that you didn't get your dress or a good nights sleep either. The Tesco in Portadown don't have the dress so that is one off your list although probally a little far to go! They do have some beautiful pink / blue shoes that I have fallen in love with but I...

Its Friday and its all good - well nearly Well, my car passed its MOT this morning thank goodness!:D:D:D:D:D I am so pleased that I have that over for another year! Now I only have to worry about getting another job, the landlords visit tomorrow, nana arriving on Tuesday, what to get Elle for...

Its a really good one, especially after the normal sales! I used to love the one in Leeds apart from the fact it didn't have a changing room. I always manage to pick up a bargain especially shoes - I once bought a pair of black knee boots with a wooden sole (reasonably hard to walk in) reduced...

Thursday and getting it all sorted out - at last well, its Thursday again, where does the week go. My car is fixed and my MOT is rebooked for tomorrow morning - fingers crossed guys! I managed to not eat my way through the kitched yesterday which was nice and am off shopping tonight so I am...

OOOH thanks guys I have some great ideas now and really like the idea of chips!

Good luck for tonight hun. I usually try and save my syns for the evening when I am more likely to snack and then I can keep track of my syns more easily!

Congratulations hun you really really deserve it! x

I love butternut squash but I am a bit tired of either roasting it, making soup or mashing it with potato so I was wondering what other people did with theirs!:flirt2:

I think writting a list will definately help hun, I have a budget sheet up until December so I know exactly where my finances are and I have a new list ever week as to what I need to do! Yes I am rather addicted to lists! I feel a lot more relaxed knowing what is going on and having a list to...

Sounds like a good idea hun. We will have he 8lb off in no time!

Hey hun I'm sure you will be just fine, I'm dreading it too, I'm sure I have put on this week. I really need to pull my socks up and say on the wagon!

Hey hun, glad to hear that you managed to get a few hours sleep. Its so awful being tired but not being able to sleep. I do hope that this is now resloving and that you will be able to get to sleep earlier tonight. It will be great for you to get away for your hubbies birthday - where are...

Thanks Mary, I really feel as my head is spinning sometimes! Well, my car is all ready I just need to rebook my test tomorrow when I get paid and all is ready for the meeting at work (thank goodness). Now I just need to find a new job that fits perfectly with the kids and win the lottery -...

Well done guys on your losses especially Mrs V and Hobbithead! I think I may have to pull my socks up to keep up the October Challenge - only 8lb to go!

Jeez I can't wait for the the clock to go back!!! I hate it being so dark in the mornings but I don't mind it being dark earlier as I love being able to cosy up on the sofa with the fire roaring (we have a proper fire) and a hot chocolate! OOOOh I can't wait to be home!!!

Good luck hun, I'm sure you will be just fine, you have been good all week unlike me!!!

Hey hun, you seem to have got yourself back on track - keep up the good work. x

I can't get motivated I feel so tired! I don't know what is wrong with me this morning but I feel so tired. I woke up with a sore head I am struggling to get rid of and I feel very tired and sedated!:cry: Its not good, I have so much I need to do both here at work and at home this afternoon. I...

Congratulations on your loss hun, your really are fantastic! I have to say that I was fasinated reading that you had never met some of the kids you babysit! I guess I had never thought about it before as the kids are tucked up in bed! I'm glad you got a better nights sleep last night. I...

Your stewed apple sundae sounds delish I could just eat that now!

I know what you mean about being emotional. I am terrible if I am tired and with it being * week hun that is bound to leave you a little more on edge than usual. I do hope that you got a good nights sleep last night, have you tried all the usual? warm drink, hot water bottle / warm bed, bath...

Monday morning blues! Morning Guys, I had a lovely weekend and am not happy about being in work this morning! I had such a struggle getting out of bed it was terrible! Anyway I wasn't too bad this weekend I could have been a lot worse! We went out for a bit on Friday night and I restricted...

Hey hun, the buffet sounds lovely!! I hope you had a lovely weekend x

Hey Mary hope all is well and that you had a lovely relaxing weekend hun. x

Yummy burger, sw chips and salad!

Hey hun, I'm sure it will be off it no time, I have had a sts 2 weeks in a row now but kinda counting it as a blessing the amount I have been eating! Your weekend sounds wonderful!!! Its great not having anything planned and tootling around. I have to take my car for its mot tomorrow and am...

Hey hun glad you are feeling better and keeping up the good work! x

Congrats hun, you deserve it I guess your jeans haven't stretched in the wash after all!!!

STS for me this week - not bad considering I wouldn't have eaten the legs of the kitchen table if they had of smelt like chocolate!
