I've struggled with both anorexia and bulimia and was hospitalised in myy teens. It's been over 6 years since that chapter in my life and if I ever mention I'm going on a diet, my family immediately discourage me. I see from your "example of yoyr eating plan" that you are eating. You're not...

I'm doing that at the moment. It's a work out designed by Jillian Michaels that Biggest Loser trainer. It has slots of cardio, strength training and ab work. I guess if you don't use the dumbells in the work out you should be fine. It's a great programme since you can do it in the comfort of...

I joined in Oct 2009. by December I had lose 2.5 stone and was feeling great. Christmas came and I gained a little bit. The new year came and I gained more. :cry:I lost motivation and felt that I could go back to my old eating habits just because I was "half way" to my target weight. I would...

I always put my mullers in the freezer, they taste sooo much better when they're have frozen/half melting. Now that you've mentioned it, I think I'll have one now!! LOL. Scouzer. X

Hey Nik, two things I have to say: WELL DONE ON YOUR AMAZIN WEIGHT LOSS!!! DONT GIVE IN!! You've come too far to just cave in now. I this journy is not supposed to be easy, no one can say they have stuck to plan 100% for as long as you have!! If you do gain weight at WI then accept it and just...

I think my reasons are a little more vain. We (being my sis and all our mates) go on holiday every August. Every year I'v always been the one in the tankini, wearing leggings in 40degree heat under a dess when everyone else can go in short skirts. I want to feel happy with myself and my figure...

Hey, just go to User Cp. i don't think you can edit that much until you have 50 post but try it. Go to user CP and go to edit signature, and customize profile and have a little play with it. Good luck hun. Scouzer. X

I bought a pair of boots today to reward the fact that just lost my first stone and I tried on my usual size 7 but they were too big. I always buy my boots from New Look and had to buy a size 6! What could this mean!! Lol. I also avoided buying clothes because I want to have a big reveal like...

Hey Chuffy, I lost 3 pounds this week! Thanks. Scouzer. X

I'm sorry but I really can't stand another performance by those twins!!! I really wonder what planet they're from!!?? I agree with Starlight, it's all a publicity stunt, they have no talent but as long as something controversial is going on, then the show keeps up its good ratings. Oh well, I...

Tbh, I've only lost 11 pounds on SW and everyone can notic it except me!! I look in the mirror and I repeatedly say "nope, can't see a change", but I feel better and that's not a placebo effect. Good luck hun. Scouzer. X

You my not think your like every other dieter but you are!! Everyone beats themselves up at some point!! The only difference is that they can move on and accept it and now and you're going to do the same thing. Go to WI and move on. You can do it because you've come too far to lose control now...

It's got to be my fav, Domino's chicken and mushoom pizzas!!! I used to have two on tuesdays as there was always the buy one get one half price!! :-(((( Scouzer

I'd have to say just TWO things... before you put anything (detrimental)in your mouth, take a moment to think if it's worth it. IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!! I think this was mentioned before but I think it's one of the most important things... WATCH YOUR SYNS!! I'm guilty of squrting extra ketchup...

I'm so totally up for this!! I need to keep myself focused!!! Thanks for the post Natt, I have something to look forward to now. Scouzer. X

WOW!! That's truely amazing can't wait to have your kind of results. Keep up the good work. Scouzer. X

Spandex, huh, I'll keep that in mind for when I get closer to goal. Scouzer. X

Why didn't you tell me this sooner!!? Lol. I'll get myself down there tomorrow!! yay! Scouzer. X

I hate my stomach above everything else!! I hate how I can fit into a size 14 top (bingo wings and all) but my stomach will do its best to reveal my "rolls"!!! :mad:. What part of your body do you wish you could simply get rid off??

Thanksssssssssssssssssss Paperclip!!! I can't believe I'm thanking a paperclip! LOL. Off to have dinner now!!! Scouzer. X

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!! That really does give me hope and inspiration! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!! Scouzer. X

Aww hun, don't beat yourself up over it!! Go to WI and move on. As long as your back on plan now, it will all come flying off!! I've been 100% for almost 4 weeks now and tbh I'm really enjoying it although I do obssess sometimes. Good luck and let me know how WI goes!! Scouzer. X

Post this in the reciepe section hun and I'm sure someone there will think of something "delightful" you can turn your chicken into!! Scouzer. X

TOTM!! That's me right now and I must say I do want to eat everything and anything. With WI tomorrow I'm tying desperately to avoid the kitchen!! I do only green days because I only eat chicken but carbs really are craving busters so try out a few more green days and see how it goes. Good luck...

Opps, I responded to your other post. Oh well. My target for this month is 9 pounds. Thanks. Scouzer. X

Hey Chuffy, I've been trying for ages to become an Angel but I can't seem to sign up anywhere. Anyway, I hope you get this... My goal for this month is 9 pounds. Thanks. Scouzer. X

I just have to say well done!!! I can never stop until my plate is empty and I'm licking it clean! LOL. Honestly, that really is a GREAT achievement!!! Scouzer. X

I know how your feeling!!! I'm so bloated right now I could pop and my WI is tomorrow!!! I'm fearing a gain although like you I've been good all week. Good luck hun, try to "de-bloat" before WI :D. Try some herbal tea and make sure your getting enough water. Scouzer. X

I love hearing stuff like this!! It's so encouraging!! Well done hun!! Enjoy the feeling... Scouzer. X

Oh My! How many times have I told myself that I would start tomorrow? I'll start after my birthday, after Xmas, etc. << HUGS>> Tbh something will always come up and stying motivated is soooooo hard. No one knows how long they can stay 100% to plan, we all just roll with it. Take it one day at a...

I only used to eat Hovis Seed Sensation but changed to wholemeal Nimble cos let's face it only 48 cals per slice! Plus it tastes lush when it's toasted!!:drool: Scouzer. X

It's always a fruit for me. Usually a Pink Lady apple, the only apples I'll ever eat! Scouzer.X

You're not a heifer!!! Your attractive and smart and funny. Even if you don't feel like Kate Moss right now, you still have other qualities which make you just as special. Put a smile on your face, take your photo shoot and be proud that you know what your doing to get what you want. Don't...

Thanks everyone. I was officially cured from "bulimia" 4 years ago but I guess there really is no cure. I've been on SW for 3 weeks and have now self-induced vomiting twice. I've only do this when I eat too much. I've gone for four years now eating whatever I wanted and never thought about...

I have told my consultant about it already and she has told me that I would need to have a new evaluation by a counsellor. Elaine (my cons) told me that I needed to be extra careful in regards to my feeling of guilt (as you rightly pointed out Vixxster). I hardly eat now that I started SW and I...

I was bullied when I was younger. I dreaded going to school because of the fat jokes or digs I would get. My father also used to kinda taunt me about my weight so I guess it has stemmed from there. I have gotten help before and it did work for a while but I feel myself slipping again. Thanks...

I suffered from Bulimia a few years ago and I advanced to Anorexia. I lost a lot of my hair, had anaemia and was hospitalised for a few months. I went to Nando's today ate half a chicken and two red pepper dips. I got back into uni feeling disgusted. I put my finger in my mouth and I guess you...

Hey Wenders, you can copy or paste mine or you can go by the instructions squiddie posted a little while ago. Go to tutorials and have a look it you find anything. Good luck and well done on your weight loss. Scouzer. X

Lost 3.5 pound today and I really want to keep this kind of rate going. To everyone who sts or gained or is just feeling discouraged, "keep your chin up", you can do it!! Scouzer. X

Hun, keep your chin up!! I'm doing green days all day everyday and to be honest I know that if I did red days I would lose a lot more!! I only eat chicken so I won't get very far!! Keep at it, so many of us had sts for long periods.You may be losing inches!! Don't feel discouraged!! YOU CAN DO...

For me it is pictures and memories.They keep me going and going. I recently went on holiday to Zante and my sis and almost all of our mates were wearing bikinis and skimpy outfits on our nights out and I was trying to cover up. :cry:In 47 degree heat as well :eek:. But I want it to never happen...

Hey Phoenixb, there's nothing to be afraid of!! :eek: SW is a great way to lose weight and everyone here is so friendly and offers so much support whenever you need it!! :D Join us and have fun.;) Scouzer. X

Hey, I don't think it's unrealistic at all!! I've targeted to lose 1.5 stone by Christmas!! :D I'v done this to motivate myself and I've made a new ticker for it as well!! Even if I don't lose all of it, if I manage to lose half of it or even a whole stone by then, I'll still be really chuffed...

Hey JemmaBe, I'm in uni at the mo in my last year! :sigh: I so know what you mean!! I go to the university of Westminster in London just off Baker Street and.... THAT STREET HAS NOTHING BUT RESTAURANTS ON IT!!!! :eek: It's so hard when all your mates are saying "lets go to Nando's, Pizza Hut...

I love that feeling!! Well done and keep uo the good work. Scouzer. X

Well when you put it that way Leniloo!!! Thanks. Scouzer. X

After a bad lecture I was dragged to Nando's where I dutifully consumed half a chicken and red pepper dip with pitta!!! I've been doing so well in the past two weeks that I thought I was beyond temptation.... apparently not. I'm now wondering how to enforce damage control. I resisted any chips...

Oh goodness!! Why wasn't I invited!!! Lol. It's all in the past now,weigh in, move on and get to the finish line. Scouzer. X

Only lost a kilo this week (2.2 pounds) :cry:. Was expecting so much more seeing as I was good the whole week and went to the gym 3 times (1hr workouts). Oh well, at least it's another 2 pounds gone forever ad ever ad ever :D Congrats again everyone. Scouzer. X

Sticky I wish I had seen this last night!! Oh my goodness!! :sigh: Can't believe so many of us are going through this!! All I can say is that sometimes we have to step back and look at the bigger picture. We're all here with pretty similar goals: losing weight, getting in shape and looking...

Well done Kelly!! I weigh in later today as well I hope I'm able to lose this week too!! Scouzer. X

Good luck!! Just relax and have fun. Really nothing to worry about!! ;) Scouzer. X

I'm trying to take my mind of slow weight loss at the mo and ask: Is anyone planning to be at goal weight on or before their birthday and what plans do you have?? I'm planning on making it for March, I know it's a strecth but you'll never know until you've tried..... Let me know.....

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I really appreciate it. I'm trying really hard to pick myself up at the moment and it's proving so difficult. I was once anorexic and I feel myself sliding down that road again. I'm hardly eating and I'm upping my exercise. I just think I need to slow dwon but...

Thanks Jo Jo. I have noticed that ever since I started "watching me weight", exercising and cutting back on what I eat I have been more upset. I've suddenly realised what I'd been putting my poor body through and need to slow down and take it one day at a time. Scouzer. X

Hey! I always weigh myself like that! Lol :D Scouzer. X

I didn't know there were any word games on here. I'm actually gonna try some. Thank you. Scouzer. X

My favs are Anna Maxted- Getting over it Lisa Jewell- Vince & Joy Jane Green- Spellbound and of course all of Amy Tan's books. Keep reading its good for the brain :D. Scouzer. X

I could really do with supportive pm right about now although I'm feeling a lot better about myself. I've got so much stress from uni and working and saving money, etc. Could go on forever. Scouzer. X

Thans Fern. I'm realising that I'm not the only one to who has gone through such a phase. I'm glad there have been survivors. :eek: I know I need to stop obssessing and just get on with it. Thanks again. Scouzer. XX

Thanks Lizie, I really do appreciate all the advice. I have been drinking more diet coke than usual this past month maybe I should just get ridof them. I just have days were I go through extremely low periods. Thanks again. Scouzer. X

Yet again, thanks Eternity. Scouzer. X

Thanks for Eternity, I really don't know why I'm putting myself throudh this but I guess we all have a little feeling that we won't makeit or it won't come quick enough. Scouzer. X

You know I never thought about that. Thanks Circes. Scouzer. X

Good uck Julianne and I wish you all the best. You cn do it if you put your mind to it. Scouzer. X

Thank you for caring. I appreciate it. Scouzer. XXXX

I find that I almost always stick to Green days but I'mm getting bored because I have no time to make anything. I go to university and when I'm not there I'm at work.:( Does anyone know any low syn potato stuff I could just stick in the oven like hashbrowns or something? Thank you. Scouzer. X

I've never had confidence issues even though I am overweight but of recent I've been so paranoid and critical of what others think of me. I keep feeling that I will never find the right person for me because I'm overweight. I keep calculating how quickly I can lose weight and finally be happy...

I've never gotten along with my father. Throughout my childhood I was invisible to him. As I got older he changed and tried to make ammends but it was too late. So a very big NO but I can see why ladies would chose a spouse smilar to their GOOD fathers. Lol. Scouzer. X

No ur so rite!! It's supossed to be fun. Get dressed in silly outfits and have a laugh but not anymore. :D I'm contemplatng those pink shoes tho. Thanks. Scouzer. X

Hey Wenders, I was so excited when I first joined my local SW group and I'm still excited going into my second week!!:) It took me ages to get on this forum and finally go to group and do exercise but it's worth every second. :D Everyone here is so helpful. This forum is fun and I can't stay...

Going as an"angelic" Angel, lol. I work in Claire's Accessories so I tried everything on. Only problem is I don't know what shoes to wear with a tight white dress, I never have. Scouzer. X

Thanks Circes, your always coming to my rescue, Lol. Scouzer. X

Thanks Niki. It's so easy to let yourself go!! But I appreciate your words, I can do it if I'm watchful and just remind myself that i never want to be how I was before. Scouzer. X

Thanks Marie, I forget that I can have literally whatever I want but in moderation. I guess that' the difference between SW ad most diets that deprive and restrict you so drastically. I am learnin and developing good eatin habits but every so often I slip and find it so hard to get back up...

Hey guys, could someone kindly tell me the syn value (on green day) for: M&S Count on us : Tomato & Basil Chicken with pasta (330g) I forgot my lunch and was desperate!! :sigh: Thanks. Scouzer.X

Thanks guys,it's just that I've lot weight so many times andi feels that I have the will power to get target weight but I can't maintain it. I guess it's a part of life and dicipline!! Scouzer. X

I remember 4 years back when I lost 70 pounds on the Atkins diet in5 months and thinking "I'll never go back to how I was before, I've worked so hard. In the space of those four years I've gained 85 pounds and I'm back where I've started from. I know the Atkins diet is very restricting and...

Thank you hamsterjam :hug99:, I feel great and hopefully this will keep me motivated until my next WI. :D Scouzer. X

Yes you can make it through this week, just as you made it through the weeks before this one. So you had a couple extra syns, no big deal. Brush it off and plough on. One day at a time.You can do it!!! ;) Scouzer. X

In my opinion, you should maintain when you feel completely comfortable and happy with yourself. If you've always been overweight then I can understand that it's hard to set a final target weight. You mentioned your BMI and I think that's a great way to find an average weight for your height...

Thanks Donnie, I'm so motivated right now and I just want to dance about!!:D LOL. Scouzer. X

Thanks but it's really hard not to worry when I think of the detists drills and everything! :cry: I'm sure I'll survive, thanks night night. Scouzer. X

Today I had my first ever weigh in and I lost 3.5 pounds!!:D I was so chuffed!! I knew I was doing something right. I was on Atkins before and lost 70 pounds in 4 months but I was practically starving myself as I was so sick of eating meat, I just ate nothing!!:eek: I can finally move my...

I normally use mine for some extra Bran flakes or some lush sauces for my pasta or rice. However, I do have the occasional snicker bar and tequila (my two main vices)to tide me over. Scouzer. X

Hey Anna, I'd love to be a SW Angel. Could I join you? Thanks. Scouzer. X

To be honest, I'm still trying to work out EE. I've read so many threads about it but I'm still baffled. I think I'm gonna stick to my Green days for a while until I get used to SW a bit more. Scouzer. X
