Am just going to make - scrambled aggs with smoked salmon (and some tomatoes + salad to get the superfree in!)

At Group last night one of the ladies who I don't know that well came up and told me that my weight loss was really noticable.:D:D:D Also - measured myself last night for first time in ages and have lost 5 inches off my waist......and none off my boobs - RESULT! (and my hubbie agrees - LOL!!!!)

One more run to go to finish C25K. Will tackle that today I think and then need to plan ahead. I am not covering 5K in 30 mins yet so am planning to up my distance first over next couple of weeks then try and work on speed a bit ready for my Race for Life. Then will look at B210K. I have found...

Evenings can often be easier as your muscles are all warmed up and stretched from moving around during the day. Well done to all you ladies, you are making great progress. It is interesting reading all your comments as I had exactly the same thoughts and doubts when I was where you guys are. I...

Definitely do the Couch 2 5K plan. Either download the podcasts from NHS choices website or get an app. And go to a shop where they specialise in running and get some shoes that suit your running style. They should do a free gait analysis if you are buying shoes off them. Any other running kit...

Great to see you guys on here. I am back on track with week 8 of C25K now and so should be done by end of easter hols. Am entered in Race for Life 5K in June and so thinking I might follow a 5K specific plan to try and get up being able to cover 5K in a decent time. After that will prob do...

Halfway there - 14st 7 tonight!

Hi, there a quite a few of us over on this thread: http://www.minimins.com/fitness-exercise/237648-c25k-overture-beginners-please.html

Well done to all you C25Kers. I was just like you - before Xmas I believed that I was unable to run and would have laughed at you if you had told me that I would be out runing for half an hour at a time and enjoying it. But I am on week 8 of the plan and can run for 28 minutes now with enough...

Thanks for the advice guys! Just got back from a run - did 23 minutes so am v chuffed, feel that maybe I haven't lost too much fitness after all. I think I will carry on with the non-stop runs now as psychologically I want to get myself in that mindset ready for the Race for Life - my aim being...

Hi C25Kers I am finally back! Was on week 7 when we went on holiday but have slipped back since then... Had a great 2 week holiday and did go out for some runs but it was so much warmer there that I struggled. Did 2 a week but had to stop and walk so probably about week 6 level. Then the day...

Great! Well done! And glad to hear that, like the rest of us on this thread, you are gradually getting brainwashed by Podcast Laura into actually enjoying running!;););)

Hey there ladies. Just finished week 7 tonight. I have been having a bit of a mental block with the non-stop runs, just found it a big adjustment from the intervals of run-walk. My silly brain has been quite sulky about it - I felt really cheated out of my little bits of walking!!! BUT - I have...

Welcome to C25K! I second what Deezer said. It has converted me from an exercise-phobe to (dare I say it) a runner in 7 weeks! If you had said to me at the end of November that I would be going out in the rain, dark and cold, running non-stop for 25 minutes and actually enjoying it, I would...

Fantastic - congrats! Hope you hit target soon!

Brilliant! You look great and so happy! You must be v proud.

Definitely definitely can see change in your face and tum! Well done!

Don't give up. Go the slowest that you possibly can whilst still jogging if you get what I mean. It's all about gradually building up your endurance. You will be able to do it if you keep trying! :bighug:

Sending the lurve back at ya....I love seeing your graph - so inspirational!!:):):)

My NSV is that I bought a pair of size 16 jeans for £5 on a whim and they do actually fit. Ok they are stretch denim, but hey, I'm feeling good about it!

Sorry to hear about your split. You are coping so well! That is a definite sign that you are winning the battle against emotional eating, I would definitely struggle with that. Good for you!:)

Honk!

1.5lb off. V pleased after my STS last week. Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (5lbs lost - 9.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (3lbs lost - 2 lbs to go) Chill11 - 14lb (3lb lost-11b to go) ClaireA - 14lbs (0 lbs lost - 14lbs...

I have it...it's scary, but effective!

1.5lb off. Last week was a STS. Slow and steady wins the race!

It's a loss - pretty fab when you have been ill and craving comfort!!! Well done for going in for WI.

Losing 1lb is definitely an achievement.....

I am a 14st newbie too - lost 1.5 this week and am now 14st 12.5. Haven't been in the 14s for the longest time and so I'm v happy to be here! :sign0144:

Finally....1.5lb off so am officially in the 14s now ladies. Well done on great losses and see you in the 14 thread very very soon!!!!

Just got back from Week 7 run 1. Slight cheat because the only way I could fit it in was to run to Slimming World to WI and then run home again, so I did have a quick break while I queued and weighed. But otherwise I managed it all ok. Will do without a break on Thurs pm or Fri am.

Amazing! This is such a great achievement, Coljack, love reading your stuff on here. Enjoy your shopping now!!!;)

You're doing so great Sinead!!! Keep setting off on your runs, you will be surprised at what you CAN DO!!!!:):):):)

Fair 'nuff Bostik! I am lucky enough to live somewhere pretty safe. Makes a change after 7 years in London previously. Just got back from wk 6 d3. Feeling under the weather today and had quite bad shin splints at first. Thought I wouldn't mke the whole 25 mins. But I pushed through and...

Sorry to hear about your work stresses ladies. Hope you all are feeling brighter soon. I have had 3 bouts of depression in my life - two post-natal depression and one which was a recurrence of PND when my LO was 18 months. Had to go off work with that...6 months before I got back onto my normal...

Had a STS this week so was a bit down. This morning I was getting dressed and my lovely hubby said " Don't worry what the scales say, I can see you're losing weight!":heartpump::heartpump::heartpump: Love him!

I was a STS this week. Could be partly hormonal so will stay on plan and see what happens next WI. I really want to get into the 14s!!!!!

Have just come back from wk 6 d2. Planning on week 6 d3 this weekend, hoping it goes ok. I am running outside and am doing at least one of the runs in the evening Bostik. Don't know where you live but I have bought myself an attack alarm which goes round my neck, I run round a residential...

Yay - go Sinead!!! So pleased for you!

I was just the same! Every time, I was convinced there was no way I would complete the session. Just start off and tell yourself you will give it your best shot. Have faith, you can do it!:clap::clap::clap:

Green day "meat" and potato pie..... packet of Batchelors bolognase Beanfeast (7.5 syns for the lot, will go 4 ways at least) with loads of new potato chunks, carrots and BNS, topped with instant mash (free) and served with even more veggies.

I agree!:thankyou: Did Week 5 day 3 today - the 20 min run. Had more days off since W3 d2 than I had planned and it felt like it took me ages to get going and warmed up. Thought I wouldn't make it. But got through, even though I was running along the seafront into a pretty strong wind! Yay...

Lost 3lb this week!

I am now 15st exactly so I may have to say bye and see you in the 14s... maybe next week if I am good.

3lb off this week! Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (4lbs lost - 10.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (1.7lbs lost - 12.3lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (3lbs lost - 2 lbs to go) Chill11 - 14lb (1lb lost-13lb to go) ClaireA - 14lbs (0 lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Cupotea - 14lbs...

I've started running with my hubby - I just put one earphone in and then I can chat and still know when to walk and run! HTH

You will get there! And congrats on the 5K race plan - you will def be able to fo it! I was finding the breathing hard at first. Seems less of an issue now which I think is because my fitness is improving. I too struggled to follow her instructions to breathe in for 4 steps and out for 4, just...

Done week 5 d2. You were right, the 8 mins was nowhere near as bad as I thought. I plan to repeat this day just so that I can get my d3 session to fall at the weekend.:)

red cabbage, sprouts, broccoli, turnip, apple, nectarine, onion

Week 5 day 1 done! Found it harder than expected. Did a bit of uphill though, which I have so far avoided like the plague!!! May need to do an repeat as I am trying to align the d3 session with a weekend. Trying to get into a set pattern of Mon, Thurs, Sat as I start a new job on more hours...

Ooh yum! Love squash...esp roasted in chunks...mmmmmm! x

Gained this week - gutted! Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (2lbs lost - 12.5lbs to go) Babymama 14lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) BuzzyBee 14 lbs (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (1lbs lost - 4 lbs to go) chill11 - 14lb (0lb lost-14lb to go) ClaireA - 14lbs (0 lbs lost - 14lbs to go) cupotea - 14lbs...

What is that?

That's great! I had a 1.5 gain this week so am staying here for a little while longer but hope to see you soon!

I had a 1.5lb gain. Think it may be hormonal? Felt really bloated yesterday. Am carrying on with plan, it's got to come off at some point!!!

Pleasure hun. Hope you are back on your c25k soon! x

Baked bean and tomato frittata - 4 eggs and a can of heinz beanz mixed together and then loads of cherry toms stirred in. Fry light a pan, dump it all in and cook over low heat. Finish top off under grill. Totally free, add cheese on top if you have a spare HexA.

They should be paying you Ermintrude - your weight loss results are one of the best adverts for SW!!!!!:p:p:):p:p

Some people on here swear by Slimpod which is something that you listen to at night that is supposed to help you retrain your thinking around food. I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment on effectivelness but maybe worth doing a search for it on the Forums to see what others think? x

HI Rach, Have you thought about reading a book which aims to help you tackle some of the thought patterns that drive your overeating in addition to the SW plan to help you stay on track without depriving yourself. I lost 2 stone in the past with SW but rewarded myself by slipping back to my...

quorn and mushroom rice....fried up loads of leeks and mushrooms in frylight, added rice, chicken stock and quorn pieces and bunged in casserole dish in oven while I did some body magic (a run) and then it was all done and ready to scoff, mmmmm!

Well done on your progress so far Slimming Sinead! I had a look on the runners world website for you regarding your cold and found this, for what it's worth: "General rule: -if it's a head cold, train -if it's below the neck (aches and pains all over) rest" I would add if you have a...

Well done to all the C25K girls, I love checking in here to see how everyone is getting on! Invested in a proper set of running shoes on Thursday. Not sure if this means I am officially "a runner" or not, but it's a start!!! 2nd run of wk 4 tomorrow night. My hubby (who is fitter than me!!) is...

I had same issue - just keep going and you will be ok. Keep the faith!:):):)

Yay - good for you! Gives me hope that I can become ' a runner'!!

I hope so. It's weird - I've found that I just need to have faith that the programme works and that I will get there in baby steps! I have never enjoyed running before so this is all a bit of a novelty to me! (I'm doing the Couch to 5K)

Done week 4 d1 just now. Had the fear, didn't want to do it, thought I would not be able to complete it....BUT I DID IT ANYWAY! I am so proud of myself!

I have stuck to the rest days. Even if there is not a medical reason why, I would advise not to run on rest days. I feel that although it is really tempting to push yourself, the reason why we can tend to struggle with sticking to healthy eating or exercise programme is because we try and do too...

My NSV - been for another run today. Ran for 16 mins out of the 30 mins. Didn't think I could....but I did!

I agree with the other ladies, ColJack. You are very humble but you have doing (and are doing) amazing things!

From Lifeline Online: Coconut, milk, canned, standard, 1 level tbsp 1½ Coconut, milk, canned, light/reduced fat, 1 level tbsp ½

Well done! Hopefully see u soon!

Lentil, spinach and butternut dhal and boiled brown rice

Well done! It does work.

Well done for starting. I too had stitch the first session as well as shin splints and thought I would not be ready for week 2 after just 3 week 1 runs. But I was, have carried on as per the programme and start week 4 this weekend. So trust the programme and stick with it - it does really...

LOL - that's brilliant! What a boost!

Doh! You had said before about the treadmill. LOL - I am now picturing a treadmill in a wind tunnel!!

That's it - it's done with, move on! Good luck!:)

Well done Bostik! I'm getting the fear about week 4 now...just done last one of week 3 and it was a toughie! Mind you, it's blowing a gale here so running into that won't have helped. Maybe that's why yours was tricky too???? We both stuck it out though!! Go us!!!:p:p:)

Szechwan spicy seafood stir-fry. Used a Blue Dragon sachet of sauce for 6 syns but that means 1.5 syns per portion - not too bad! Lots of veg, a pack of frozen sea food and noodles, all in the wok together. Twas v yum. The hubbly had 4(!!!!!) helpings!!! Had a pudding - bread pudding made with...

Yeah, back as quick as you can! It will come off if you're back on!

I agree on the Superfree thing. I did SW before on Red and Green and there wasn't enough emphasis on fruit and veg IMO....now I am getting my 5-a-day and then some because I am making sure I get 1/3 in at least with meals, even if that means a fruity starter or pud!!.

You are as well!!

Honk yesterday and today!

Hello Scorpiolady. I got SOTM for Dec as well! Great feeling isn't it??!! Didn't weigh in over Xmas but went tonight and 2.5 off so v chuffed. Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) BuzzyBee (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (0.5lbs GAINED - 5.5lbs to go) chill11 - 14lb (0lb...

Good luck Shannon, good for you for having the guts to restart. I'm a restarter too. This time I am going to be more active and also try and address my psychological issues around food to try and see it as a "change for life" I weighed in at 15st 1.5 today so am going to give it my best this...

At least you are restarting - that's the most important step. Good luck....You can do this!:):)

Sooooooo, my scores on the doors.... 2.5lb off over Xmas & New Year and got SOM for December (missed last week group as away with family). V happy with that. Must be the exercising!

Congrats! Sooo pleased for you!!!:bliss:

:wee: Well done!!! Great stuff!!!

I like the standard Wii fit one, Sports Island and The Biggest Loser

Yay! Fitness buddies!! :whacky068::whacky068:

First WI since b4 christmas in an hour - will report back later.....

Done week 3 day 2. PLanning on completing week 3 on Thursday then will start week 4 at the weekend.

My hubby has just got in from work and lifted me up in the air!!! He hasn't done that for about 2 years!!

Thank you! I think it is not entirely unrelated!! I have done SW before and lost 2 stone but without becoming consistently more active and I slid back into eating more and regained. I am hoping that by becoming more active I will tone as well as slim....happy so far!:):) I tend to gain on my...

HONK for yesterday

My NSV today - measured my waist to discover I have lost 2.5 inches in a month!

Well done you two! I am on Week 3. It seems to work - I keep surprising myself with the fact that I am completing the sessions!!!!:):)

Extra Easy fish pie with baby corn and romanesco (a cross between cauli and broccoli)

After I had my first son, my health visitor made me write a list of treats to have. I have since bought a book called "It's the little things" by Amy Collins which has lots of ideas for treats. Here are some ideas for you: Free/ v cheap treats - A foot soak A face mask Paint your nails...

Quorn meatballs for me and hubby, normal meatballs for the kiddos. With Carrot, celariac and apple mash (small syn value or HE for cooking the apples) and some peas/ green beans. Bit of gravy too (so worth the syns!)

I am in. We are going to Florida on 11th Feb and will be over there for Val Day. I would love to lose an average of 1.5lb per week until then so will aim for 12lb in total.:) Arctic_blonde_n_g 10lbs (0lbs lost - 10lbs to go) BuzzyBee (0lb lost - 14lbs to go) Cai - 5 lbs (0.5lbs GAINED - 5.5lbs...

Hey Bostik, reckon we are about at the same point in the programme.:) I did week 3 d1 this lunchtime - in the rain!!! My legs hurt but I pushed on and feel great now!! Glad to hear that this week will get easier. Am nervous about wk4 but am going to put my faith in the programme and hope I get...

Did another C25K run today - in the rain. I can now run for 3 mins without needing to stop. It doesn't sound much, but believe me, it's a huge achievement when you consider how unfit I was 3 weeks ago!!

Went for a run today! So didnt feel like it, but enjoyed once i got going!

Yay! I ran this morning too. Last one of week 2. Some uphill as well (staying up with my folks in Yorkshire so hard to avoid it!). Planning to do d1 Wk3 on weds or thurs up here, then on fri or sat back home in hants! :)

A-flippin'-mazing Scorpiolady!!! What a result!!!:):):)

Us too, but fingers crossed will be joining you soon anyways!

1/2lb off which is less than I hoped for but am feeling quite bloated so maybe hormonal related (it's about that time). Anyways, a loss is a loss. Usually at this time of year I would have been up to my eyeballs in stollen, mince pies and chocolate, so am pleased that I feel in control this...

Good luck Jodieboo!!!!:cross:

Yay - syn-free bhajis and cucumber and mint raita made. Also some caprese skewers (1/2 syn of red fat mozzerella with cherry tom and basil leaf on a stick). Am also doing some 1 syn tortilla bites - plain tortilla chips 1/2 syn each topped with quark and tiny bit of sweet chilli or bit of turkey...

You'll be fine, you've worked hard, it'll show on the scales! Xmas party at SW for me tomorrow, gonna spend the afternoon making syn-free onion bhajis!! :eating:

Who would have thought that running could be enjoyable?!:faint2: Not me if you had asked me 2 weeks ago, but now I am convinced!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow!:)

Honk for today! NOt for the weekend though :( WI tomorrow - eek!

Did the first run of week 2 today in cold and wet. Bit frosty, but we don't get too much ice in this neck of the woods due to being near the coast. Was running in the gorgeous New Forest though so I didn't mind the rain too much. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Planning to do Weds and Fri and...

Did more exercise today...running in the cold and wet....now on week 2 of my running plan!

Hang on in there LFB! You are on plan and doing your best. You are doing so much RIGHT!!!! HuGs to You! xxx

I would second the Beck Diet Solution. Also enjoyed "Eating Less, say goodbye to overeating" by Gillian Riley. It focusses on non-scale motivation, thinking about your health and wellbeing rather than numbers on the scales which can upset your motivation if you focus on them too much. HTH

Go for it and have a great week - looks like you're almost at your xmas target!!!! :)

Been for another run today even though it was freezing out and I could not be bothered. Actually felt like I was running rather than just fast waddling!!!!!

Honk for last two days. Have gone over today without realising until now - guestimating syns is always a bad idea....:doh:

:patback: Sorry to hear your C is away when you are having a tricky week. I am a newbie but..... Focus on all great choices you are making, you are doing so much right! Going for long walks etc etc!! You are amazing for what you have achieved so far. You deserve to be slim and healthy, you've...

At work today, I sat next to an open box of homemade mince pies and shortbread and didn't touch them! Victory indeed!!:p:p:p

I love this thread! It is keeping me motivated - reminds me why I want to stick at my new healthy ways!

You look amazing and so happy! I am inspired!:)

Totally with you on the fruit and mugshots but I couldn't do salad on a night! I need stodge!!! :)

Yay -nearly there! Go for it!!! :)

Really pleased! 2nd weigh-in - 3lb off and SOTW! :woohoo:

Love it!!!!!:8855:

At this time of year, a maintain is an achievement in itself. Keep going, you ARE doing it very right looking at your weight loss ticker!!! As long as it comes off and stays off in the end eh? :)

Off to WI now - will post later!

I am running outside as have no treadmill and not gym member. I agree that it is really nice and I am covering more ground than expected. First run I was initially quite self-conscious. Then about halfway through I just thought to myself "Who cares what anyone else thinks - I'm out in the fresh...

GOOD LUCK!

Honk for yesterday and today despite being on nights - yay! WI in 30 mins...:cross:

I do this! Last choc fix of the day!!:17729:

I have just started on this program this week. Done run 2 today. First run got stitch but did complete. Got quite bad shin splints today, not sure if it is just somthing that will pass or if it is my (cheapo) trainers that aren't v good. Have been reading a bit about choosing running shoes and...

Hello Jayde1148! See you live in Dorest...I am on the Dorset/ Hants border! Thought I'd give you a wave! :wavey::wavey::wavey:

Have you seen the 'Couch potato to 5K' thing on the nhs choices website? I heard about it on another thread here. If you google it you will find the link. Anyways, you just download some podcasts onto your mp3 player, get your running shoes on and go. There is the voice of a trainer talking you...

Stay positive, you can do it. The main thing is picking ourselves up and getting back on track when we have then inevitable 'bad weeks'. Glad you are on here and being so positive about things! :)

Went out for my second run of the week - 30 mins interval training of which 8 mins running. :angel09:

Honk for yesterday. Back on track after another flexible syns day for another xmas do.

However, it does work if you don't cook the pasta n sauce but just pop it into a container with the correct amount of boiling water and leave it to cook in that. I have done this many times!!

I want to live a long healthy life I want to feel full of energy I want to be able to run around playing sports with my 2 boys this summer I want to be able to buy Joules wellies and fit into them I want to be in control of food rather than the other way round I want to be in a fit condition to...

Mushroom lasagne (virtually syn free) mushrooms cooked in fry-light then 1 tbsp onion gravy granules (slight syn value) and some hot water. Layer with lasagne sheets (I used verde) and then a mix of 2 eggs and 0% greek yoghurt on top. Had it with greens but bet salad would be nice too.

That is brilliant, such a great first week's loss. It's true what they say, if you stick to it 100%, you WILL LOSE! I had my first WI on Tues and lost 2lb. Hoped for more but feel like I have got my head round it a bit more so far this week. Am going out to a party tonight but planning to eat...

My NSV for today - have done my first session of the "Couch Potato to 5K" running plan this morning. Planning to do 3 runs (well, mostly walking at the moment, but I'll get there!) per week for next 9 weeks!:)

This is so true! I will try and remember this when losses aren't as fast as I would like. Also - has taken me 36 years to get to this weight, I'm not going to lose it all overnight!!:)

That must be a lovely feeling!! I shall add that to my list of reasons why...:)

Honk for today 10 syns. My horn was silent yesterday - works xmas meal...flexi syns used, I don't even want to tell how many!! But back on track today...

Agreed - that took guts!

Me too.....bags, shoes, jewellery, scarves, I can spend ages looking at trying and buying. Clothes....I don't go in changing rooms to try them as it is always a depressing experience, just grab, pay, go home.:( Want to be able to march into white stuff or fat face, grab an armsfull of yummy...

Well done you! Great stuff!:party0049: And thanks for your lovely words of encouragement. I just couldn't face another New Year with even more weight that I don't need!! Had my works xmas dinner last night, but it was just one meal and am back on track today.:) The support on here is great to...

Yay! Well done!! :0clapper::party0049:

:wavey: Hello!!! Nice to meet you!!!

Hope you feel better soon!

Back from WI - lost 2lb. Hoped for more as it was my 1st week , but given the fact that had my *, ate dinner prior to WI and had lots of social events this weeks, I can't be too disappointed. If I hadn't joined SW I probably would have gone mad at all the functions I have been to and gained...

That is fantastic - so inspiring!!! :):)

:) Well done!! :)

:bunnydance: Well done!!! :bunnydance:

Just about to set off for my first WI. Nervous!!!

I am intrigued...what's magic Greek Porridge??

LOL - looking at your graph, you're obviously doing well on it....WIND POWER!!!! :D Seriously, I am so with you on the egg thing - that's what I love about SW. "You can't eat 6 eggs for breakfast!" - oh yes I can!!!

Have tried so hard all week. Been 100% every day except yesterday.:sign0007: Yesterday I had two Xmas events - lunch at work and buffet at my book group in the evening. Totted it up and I had 22.5 syns despite trying to make good choices from what was on offer :sigh:. Could have been worse I...

Honk for today - 12.5 syns :). Not for yesterday - had two Xmas events - lunch at work and buffet at my book group in the evening. 22.5 syns :sigh:. Could have been worse.... First WI in 45 mins....nervous!!

Hi D1984! Just had a look at your blog, great idea to blog about your weight loss journey! Hopefully it will help you through the hard times and keep you motivated. I am new to this forum and am a returner to SW having lost >2 stone with them before but put it back on and then some. Good...

Hello Slimtobe42, I am also new to forum but have been on SW in the past (about 5 yrs ago now). My first WI is this Tuesday, good luck for your on Weds. Hello to all the others on here, good luck to us all, lets stay focussed and see if you can all be moving on down as soon as possible! xx

Honk for yesterday - 11 syns and today - the full 15. Had a mince pie and didn't check syns till afterwards :eek: ....11.5!!!!! So have been v. v. good for rest of day!!! :innocent0002:

Quark freezes well as I recall, used to stock up and freeze it. Have just restarted on SW after 5 years and stuff is slowly coming back to me!

I used to make a fab free rice pudding with pudding rice cooked on the hob in diluted no sugar squash....summer fruits, apple, blackcurrent and peach flavours are all nice. Then would eat hot or cold with fruit. Is pudding rice still free on EE and Green?

HONK! 10 syns today (3rd day on SW!)

I made the baked bean omelette from the recipe in the new members pack and had with some fruit salad. 6 eggs, 1 large can baked beans - mix together and cook. Sounds yucky, tastes fab! Lasted me for brekkie for last 2 days and snack last night, will def do again!

Honk honk - day 2 on plan. 6 Syns.

I love mushy peas so will def give this ago. Sounds wrong but hopefully will taste so right!

I would like to join in. Just rejoined SW and starting off at 15st9.5. Got into the 13s/ size 14 last time but am hoping to do even better this time. Thought I would sign up b4 Xmas to stop me gaining even more that I would then have to attack afterwards. Christmas is only one day after all...
