It feels like forever since I posted anything here, I've just been so busy that I haven't had time! The last few weeks have been so-so really, and I find that when it's my T.O.T.M I have a tendency to weigh more, hence one week putting on half a pound when I knew I hadn't done anything...

I've just bought some SW recipe books and I went shopping this morning to get the ingredients needed for a few tasty looking recipies....and I can't find Quark or Scan(dinavian) Bran for love nor money. Is there a particular supermarket or store which sells either of these things, I really need...

I think it's quite amazing to see the impact that differing heights make on the size-weight ratio. I was looking at Divvy's records and 15st 7 was a size 22 in her case (and she's 5ft 2 I believe) and I'm a size 22 now at 17st 4 and a half (and I'm 5ft 7) It probably makes a difference where...

Thanks very much Mary, I can't quite believe it, but I know I want to feel this good again next week! :D It's such a great motivator knowing my body's responding well to the plan!:bliss:

Haha! It's okay, it survived the coffee storm! :giggle:

Well, I've just returned from my class and I'm on cloud 9 - I've lost 6 and a half pounds!! :talk017: I couldn't believe it when my consultant told me. I did say to her that I felt as though I'd eaten a lot this week but that I hadn't strayed from the plan.....I still felt nervous in case I was...

Thats a fantastic philosophy! One I'm definitely going to bear in mind - Thank you so much! :D

I thought that was going to be the hardest situation for me to face as well, but it's a bit easier with the smoking ban in public places. It's not easy but definitely do-able! :D Keep it up!

I'm annoyed that the Freaky Best Man Speech video has been 'removed by the user' :cry: lol! Hope your day ends better than it started! :hug99::)

I forgot to mention that there was a portion of chips in with the kebab too - talk about mega-syns!! :eek: I managed to resist the temptation, I wasn't actually that bothered about having them, it was just force of habit to buy takeaway after a night out, I'll have to plan ahead in future...

Oh my! Thanks a lot, that really helps me with portion size, and it looks so delicious! I'm so making this today! :thankyou:

Okay, I felt that it might be in my own best interests if I write this journey down so that I can see where the successes and failures lie all in black and white ... :eek: lol. I started SW last week and prior to last Monday's class I believed I was 238lbs..unfortunately I was a wee bit off the...

Oh my! That really sounds good, I'm getting such great ideas, thanks so much for posting! :D

That sounds blooming lovely! I love Ferrero Rocher so this is a fab alternative for me, thanks for posting! :D

Good luck! Hope you get to your 2st target! :D

Couldn't agree more! Here's to us all! :happy096:

Hi Sarah, good for you, hope you're doing well! :happy096: I just quit smoking in January of this year, so I know how difficult it can be sometimes. I actually read the book by Allen Carr - I think it's called 'Easy way to stop smoking' or something similar lol. I found that a great help and if...

Well done Paul! :) It's my first class tonight as well, I'm so excited to be actually actively doing something about my weight after so long whinging about it! Good luck, hope the class goes well! :D

Camel toe! :rotflmao: I've just spluttered coffee all over my moniter on reading that, you've just cheered me right up - Gonna be giggling all the way on the school run! Thank you! :D

Thanks a lot, Isis! I'm pretty sure I'll be needing to take you up on that offer :)

I totally feel like that! ....and then catch sight of my reflection in a shop window and wonder who the fatty is behind me! :eek: :rotflmao: - I really hate having photos taken, so it will take quite a bit of a body change for me to feel brave enough to put one up here, I'm far too chicken! lol

I remember trying WW a few years ago, I was a bit rubbish with converting into points though :giggle: I stopped smoking in January and the weight just piled on! :eek: - now I've completely kicked the habit, I need to concentrate on fighting the flab! Absolutely! If you're ever feeling...

Hi Jules :) I'm very new myself, but thought I'd pop up and give you a bit of a welcome :D Good luck with your weight loss! I start tomorrow also (SW) What is your plan of choice?

Wow! I know it's been said (more than once lol) but you all look wonderful! Even the worried 'in-betweeners' are noticably slimmer! I think this is a wonderful forum and it's nice to see so many people there supporting others and keeping them motivated - My first SW class is tomorrow night and I...

:thankyou: Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the warm welcome! I totally see where you're coming from Marshmallow, unfortunately I found converting values into points a nightmare (numbers were never my speciality lol) although I did find that I was more likely to stick to the plan if I knew...

My story is that I gained a fair bit of weight during my second pregnancy (twins lol) and although there were a few down moments about my size, I really still felt attractive and didn't let it get me down too much as I wasn't really 'flabby' with it. However, I stopped smoking in January of this...
