I haven't updated this in so long :( I've been going to Slimming World classes for 10 weeks now and I've lost 16.5 lbs. My total weight loss is 60 lbs :)

Can I join please. I lost 1.5 lbs in my second week taking me to 15st 13 :)

Another 1.5 lb loss this week. It would've been more but I got into a fight with a box of forerro rocher and LOST! Tried two days of EESP and found it really good. I thought I'd really miss my pasta/rice/potatoes but it was actually just fine! I missed bananas more than anything!!

Thank you. I haven't been very good at updating but I've had a mega busy week. I lost 6 lbs in my first week. I'm so so happy about that cos AF got me half way through the week so I had quite a bit of chocolate and some white bread toast with butter! This week is going well too but I have had...

I joined Slimming World last week and so far it's going really really well. I'm absolutely loving the fact that I've barely had to weigh or measure anything and I've not been hungry at all :) I've tried quite a few diets over the years, mainly Weight Watchers, but I feel like I need a fresh new...

STS this week but I did get my 25% certificate. I can't believe I've lost a quarter of myself!!!!

Thanks guys. No update yesterday as the day was as bad as I thought it would be! Today is the start if a new week and lots of healing for my family. I'm feeling more positive today :) I stayed the same and I'm really glad about that. I had to work hard not to see a gain but this week I'll be...

I've already done my DVD Sarah. Rest day isn't until Wednesday but I'll still do dome light cardio even on rest day :) burned 465 cals and I still have to walk into town and back for some bits I forgot yesterday.

I'm aching like mad today and absolutely shattered. Had a bad night with the baby and he was ready to get up for the day at 6.30am. Im hoping to get a nap later or I won't be able to do my DVD this tired. I'd probably end up injuring myself. Food today. B - bacon medallions, scrambled egg...

Another late update but I've had a mega busy day today. I've over done it if I'm totally honest though! We went shopping this morning then came home and had omlette for lunch. Then me, hubby, toddler and one of my teens went out for a family walk. I earned 6 ap's. Then came home and I did my...

Lost 1 pound last week :)

Thanks guys. I'm hoping being spot on with my food and hard exercise will get me my 2 lb loss I'm after this week. Just done Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD again. Burned 530 cals. My husband is absolutely amazed because he's not seen me do it in over a year and he can't believe the difference...

Thanks guys and Maria you're absolutely right. I would be absolutely gutted to gain that lb back :( food yesterday was great and I did my 50 minute hard cardio DVD. Really didn't want to but I got it done and burned 544 calories. Food today. B - berry toasts. L - bacon and mushroom...

Thank you Sarah. I've woke up thinking ahhh bugger it. I'm not doing it this week. Can not be ARSED. But your message has changed my mind and now I'm thinking maybe I can. Im im hungover though so this may be difficult!!!

I lost a pound. Was a little disappointed but I've lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks so when I think about it like that...... food is today has been abysmal. Already used up all my weeklies. It's just terrible at home right now and be totally turned to food today. At least I have the rest of the week to...

Another day another dollar! It's my one year anniversary on the 17th so Thursday will be the final weigh in before I can tally up what I lost through out the whole year. Really hoping to lose 2 lbs this week so I'm being really good. I only went over a couple of points yesterday. Unheard of for...

Thanks for the recipe.

Will you post the recipe for the Moroccan Pork please hun. It sounds delish. I did SS last week and lost FIVE lbs!! Honestly couldn't believe it cos I had a couple of bad days. Keep thinking imagine if I'd stuck to it 100%!!

Great loss hun. Well done :)

I had a naughty(ish) night too hun! I had a few jd and cokes and really fancied something naughty so I compromised with myself and made a healthy pizza. 1 wholemeal thin with tomato puree, mushroom, spring onion, wafer thin chicken, pinch of herbs and feta cheese. In oven for 5 mins. Lovely...

Thanks guys. This week Simple Start goes into the F&H route. You still choose from the list but you don't have two treats a day. You get your 49 weeklies to do what you like. It's much less restrictive but encourages you to have much healthier foods. Such as, I always use egg noodles in my stir...

Well I lost 5 lbs. Imagine what I would've lost if I'd stuck to it 100%!!!!! food today was - B - banana. L - egg sandwich d - spicy prawn stirfry with brown rice s - Banana, apple, nakd bar, hot chocolate.

Well done on the fab weight losses. I followed SS this week and lost 5 lbs :)

Unfortunately i haven't stuck at it 100%. Had a rough couple of days but the other five I was perfect. Wish I could've stuck at it though cos I was really interested in how much weight you could lose on the plan. Anyway au good today was. B - nothing. Not hungry :( L - Moroccan stuffed...

Feeling crappy today. Probably cos it's first day of AF. I'm always really heavy on my first day but I'm lucky cos the longest I have it is three days. Feel so sluggish and heavy though. I'm also 2 lbs up but I know that's because I'm retaining fluid. Food today. B - berry toasts. L - Cous cous...

Its probably because they're free on Simple start :) I'm having to count them now though because I messed up on Saturday night :(

Thanks char :) Today has been good. I slept really well last night, had a good eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Unheard of for me. I'm usually up a lot with the baby. It's amazing what the difference is! Food today B - berry toasts. L - cous cous, chick pea and veg salad. 0% danone...

I gained 5.5 lbs over the two weeks WW was closed over Christmas. Absolutely deserved it though. I was a pig! Having a good week so far though so hope to see a big chunk of that gone by Thursday :)

Not much to update but here's my food for today.... Breakfast - berry toasts Mid morning snack - boiled egg Lunch - cous cous, chick pea and veg salad (very filling) Dinner - salmon with a tomato crust, new potatoes, carrots and broccoli Snack - 2 crumpets with my cherry compote, apple, banana...

You're my hero!!! Anyone who can lose weight over Christmas is amazing to me!!

Well done MrsGinger :) I'm hoping to lose mine over the next two weeks. I'm certainly going to give it my best shot anyway :)

Wow I haven't updated here for ages! I went back to class on Thursday and over the two weeks WW was closed over the Christmas period I gained 5.5 lbs. Not good! The new leader was ok. She's much harder than my lovely leader who left and much more bossy!! Maybe that's what we need though! I'm...

The fresh start began so well but I ended up eating too many points again :( I'm not even attempting to get back on track now until Wednesday because we're having a party tomorrow so I'm just going to enjoy that and then get back straight to it on the 1st of Jan :) I'm sure I'll burn off lots of...

Really tired and sluggish today. Hope I can get through my exercise later. I really want to get a good head start before the Christmas day shenanigans!! Part of our Christmas food shopping came yesterday. Got lots of little nibbly buffet food for our Christmas eve party. It'll only be us but we...

Well done hun :)

Well done on your lb hun. Google what a lb looks like. It's great to see that it's actually quite a large amount off your body forever :)

Thanks hunny. I'm so happy to be 62.5 lbs lighter this year :) I tried my Christmas jumper on that I wore last year and it drowns me! It's a size 22 and was TIGHT! Im currently working out my points for over the Christmas period! Wow! What a difference a year makes!

2.5 lbs off this week :)

Lost 2.5 lbs this week. 62.5 lbs total :)

Sorry to hear you're stuggling Dan but at least you're aware of it and are trying to do something about it. Better than putting it aaaall back on and having to start from scratch x

Oh I hate going out into the crowds. I don't handle it very well and get grumpy!! I feel christmassy when all my presents are wrapped and I start buying all my food for Christmas day. I'm having most of my family over for Christmas dinner. REally looking forward to it this year :)

Hey hun thanks. I'm ok today. Still feel a bit down in the dumps which is just not like me at this time of year. Im a real Christmas person! food today. B - porridge L - ham salad on thin and muller light D - hm chicken n veg curry with brown rice S - houmous, pitta, pink n white, banana, 2...

Having a hard time emotionally at the moment. Trying hard not to emotionally eat and succeeding right now. It's so hard though when you've always used food to fix your feelings. It feels nice to be in control though and not give in. Food today. B - strawberry, raspberry and cranberry oats so...

Well done hunny. It won't be long til you're in the next stone bracket at this rate :)

I gained a lb this week too hun :( I feel the same as you though, determined to lose this week :)

I gained a lb last week :( I deserved it though so there's no self pity. Honest!! I did my back in on Wednesday doing the cardio dvd. I was doing an exercise where you start in a squat position, then jump 180 degrees and land in a squat position. My back was in spasm for two days. Every time I...

I've gained a lb this week :( I deserved to put on more but I exercised like a ***** for a few days so managed to pull it back a little!! Also injured myself this week so I haven't been able to move as much - done my back in :(

That's the thing with the shred, if you have too long a break it's like starting all over again isn't it?

Don't worry about going over your weeklies hunny. I've done that the last two weeks and first week I lost 2 and second I lost half. Mind you I did punish myself with exercise for four days haha and I'm having to do the same this week too dohh!! Never bloody learn do I?!! Try to earn some...

Well done cscott :) See you in the 13's hopefully :)

Exercise last night was BRUTAL!! But I absolutely loved it. It's amazing what your body is capable of when you don't let it give up! I'll be very happy to maintain this week. If I actually manage a loss it'll be an absolute miracle haha!! Food for today. B - bacon and mushroom sandwich L - ham...

Had a great food day yesterday and I feel in the zone again today. One of our student nurses left me a bar of chocolate but in my drawer it's stayed! My fav as well - Dairy Milk nom nom!! I'm starting an exercise DVD today. It's called Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. Jillian Michaels. It's 50...

How long til the 17's chick :)

Well done hunny. Weight losses are AWESOME :)

Well yesterday was a complete bust. I'm really struggling with limiting my treat days. Maybe I should just stop having treat days and spread my weeklies over the week. I ate way too much and drank lots of mulled wine! Now I have to spend the rest of the week trying to claw it back after three...

Oh no. Sorry to hear about your dog. Big hugs hun x

Only lost half this week. I'm 14st9.5 now :) well done on getting into 14's Wendy :)

Thanks hun. Half lb off this week. Initially I was disappointed but when I went over my food for the week I had quite a few treats Thursday Friday Saturday. My plan was to try to only have one day of having treats and that turned into yesterday! I'm going to the Manchester Christmas markets...

Managed to shred - begrudgingly!! Also got 7 bonus points on my pedometer yaay!

I didn't update yesterday. I was mega busy and the day ended on an argument with my mum :( Anyway my food was good yesterday but I didn't shred as I just didn't have the time spare. Food for today B - porridge L - ham salad thin and a muller light D - hm curry and brown rice. S -...

Food day was great. It was so hard being at work because a doctor bought us all the biggest box of thorntons chocolates I've ever seen! I managed to resist but at the end of my shift I ate two for 3 pp. For one choc it's 2 so I thought I might as well have two as I had the points. My left...

The carvery was lovely last night but I couldn't resist the sticky toffee pudding! I went way over my points but I have four days to be spot on again. It'll be interesting to see what happens on the scales on Thursday. Food today B - porridge L - ham salad on thin and a muller light D - left...

Wow! That's an awesome breakfast. I was looking at the list and I could have bacon medallions, eggs, mushroom and tomatoes all free and as many as id like! (I like to have protein for my brekkie)

Mmmm I love banana bread :) sometimes it just has to be done! For the kids of course ;)

How was weigh in hun?

Ok I overindulged again yesterday and today I'm very delicate you might say!! I really shouldn't have had a vodka shot after drinking red wine. Dohh!! anyway I'm back on it today. Food for the day Breakfast - none. Just thinking about food makes me want to vom. Lunch - bacon eggs, mushrooms...

Well I lost 2 lbs!! I had a terrible start to the week but was spot on with food and exercised hard Sunday to Thursday :)

It was brilliant sweet :) absolutely loved it!!! Well I must've worked so hard after my three days of food hell cos I've LOST TWO POUNDS!!!!!!!! Absolutely flabbergasted!!

Thanks guys. I slipped up at midnight and had three chocolate chip hobnobs! It's ok though cos they've gone on today's points :) im going to the cinema tonight to watch the new hunger games movie. I'm going to take some butterkist popcorn and a curly wurly. Only 6 points for both :) food for...

thank you hun! I always enjoy my options belgian chocolate before bed. It satisfies me just enough to stop my midnight munchies that I used to have every night! Today I'm proud of myself because I've managed to avoid the canteen at work. It's cheese pie Tuesday and I LOVE the cheese pie at...

Thanks hun. Today I've had a banana, 2 satsumas, small bunch of grapes (50g) and I'll have another banana for my supper!! Still struggling with hunger :( Stuck to my points again (I'm actually under by 5 points) and I've shredded. Yaaay!!

thats great that you only went over by a few points, great dedication hun :)

I hope so too but it would be a bloody miracle if I lose this week!!

That's a really good idea Maria. I always say I'm going to do that but it's difficult to freeze meals in a family of 6. We very rarely have left overs!! maybe I should have a cooking for the freezer day when I'm off work! So proud of myself for sticking with my points yesterday. I really...

Hey shez :)

That's awesome Maria. Well done on a good day. Ive veen starving allday but im but im pleased to say I've stuck to my points. The he lasagne was lovely. Could hardly tell it was a Ww recipe :)

My WI is Thursday so I'm hoping to minimise the damage before then :( Good luck tomorrow :)

Food for today - Breakfast - porridge 6pp Lunch - ham salad on a thin. Muller light 6 pp Dinner - Lasagne (recipe from the WW website) and a big crunchie salad 11pp Snacks - pitta 4, houmous 3, olives 2, cottage cheese 1, babybel light 1, options hot choc 1. Banana and 2 satsumas 0 35 out of 38...

I did make it hun and it was lovely. It would've been better with more veg. I only had mushrooms and onions but I added some extra spices and garlic. I fried my onions with mustard seeds for an extra kick. Had it with basmati rice and turmeric. Was yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe :) It all...

Maria it sounds like we're having very similar weeks. My half lb gain has definitely affected me more than I realised :( Yesterday was was a great day but it ended very badly. Had apple crumble and custard and a peanut butter kitkat so my points ended up on almost 60 again. That's three days of...

Mmmmm that sounds delicious. I might do it with my turkey steak tonight. Was going to have turkey, potato, carrots and sweetcorn but I really fancy curry now!! thanks for the recipe hun :)

MMM curry sounds yummy. Can I have the recipe? 4 pp is brilliant :)

It's a tough one. When you just want to rebell and eat what the hell you want it's hard to fight and say no :( Don't do what I did and eat all your weeklies and end up -13 points!!!!

Thanks Clare :) I'm actually gutted with a 0.5 gain last week. I was so good too and exercised hard all week. After eating so much junk I'm back in the zone although I don't anticipate a good loss this week! It'll be an absolute miracle if I stay the same after what I've consumed over the...

Yippeeee! 6 lbs is awesome :) :) :) Well done :)

MMM the sausage and mash sounds yummy! Thanks for turning me on to the tesco lighter choices. So far I've had the chicken and broccoli pie and the beef enchiladas. Both tasted delicious and I couldn't believe it was a ready meal, and a light one at that!

Well after two extremely unhealthy days I'm back in the zone. On Thursday I consumed 69 pp and Friday 66 so if I get a loss this week it'll be an absolute miracle! I'm still going to give it my all though and if I do manage a loss I'll be absolutely thrilled. Food for today Breakfast, 2 bacon...

It does get easier as you get used to it. I definitely don't pee like I used to!!! I think always having it to hand helps the most :) Well I'm absolutely gutted. Got weighed this morning and I've GAINED half a lb :( :( I really can't work out where I've gone wrong. I've gone through my whole...

I have a 1 litre bobble bottle and just fill it three times. I keep it with me at all times. I sit at a computer most of the day at work so it's easy to just keep sipping away :)

I'm very excited today. My friend is coming to stay for a few days whoop!! Food for today - Breakfast - scrambled egg, bacon medalions, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes - 5 pp lunch - half a tin of chicken soup and a ham salad sandwich on seeded bread - 11 pp Dinner - Tesco lighter choices beef...

Here to follow Wendy. You've done amazing so far :)

Oh my god wendy that is AMAZING. You've lost so much in such little time :)

Glad you enjoyed your first meeting back :)

It was so delicious unun. Thanks for sharing. It was also really filling. Will definitely be getting that again :)

I've set myself a little mini challenge. I want to be in the 13's by Christmas Day! I like challenging myself so we'll see how I get on :)

It's just over 2 lbs per week. I think (if I'm good!) I can manage that. I've lost almost 60 lbs and before the wedding I was losing a stone every 6 weeks on average.

I've been stuck in the 14's since July GRRR!! Did go up to 15 st 1.5 but after losing 4 last week I'm now 14 st 11.5! I would love to be in the 13's by Christmas

Here to follow :) Your food sounds lovely. I absolutely love crumble :)

Hey thanks for following I'll have to see if you have a journal to stalk. Had much better sleep last night but my tummy's a bit off. I think it's the antibiotics I'm on for my tooth. Started on level 2 of the shred last night. My god I'm hurting today LOL!! Food for today - Breakfast was...

Can I join please? I had my first weigh in after my break last Thursday and I lost 4 of the 11 lbs I gained since my wedding :) this is a great idea :)

Hi hun, would like to follow if that's ok. I'm sorry to hear about your dad ((hugs)) We started off at a similar weight. I was 19 stone 0.5 at my first weigh in. I remember feeling disgusted and humiliated :/ Since then I've lost 59lbs. I've had a bit of time out since my wedding in July...

The pie sounds delicious and very reasonable if you have it with 0 point veg. Have you tried swede chips? Obviously they're not real chips but I really like them. Peel and chop your swede into chips, boil for 10 15 mins. Spray a baking tray with spray oil, add the chips, sprinkle with paprika...

Here to follow if that's ok :)

MMM I really fancy one of those soup makers. I really love soup :) I try to make a new one every week. Last week's was 0 point broccoli and leek but then I added stilton to it!! I pointed it though and it was really delicious. Another fav of mine is 0 point butternut squash and red pepper...

Sorry ununpentium and maria I only just noticed your posts. I lost 50 odd lbs with weight watchers and then three weeks before my wedding I went on a VLC diet because my friend recommended it to lose large amounts of weight (I still didn't fit in my dress) I gained all that back before re...

I haven't had the chance to update on my days off because I've been so busy but I lost 4 lbs last week yaay!! 59 lbs total. I joined the gym. It's one of those schemes were you pay £12 and get a 12 day pass. I'm absolutely loving it, even tried out Zumba last night which is something I've...

I do it through photobucket. do you have that?

How old is your daughter? She sounds very healthy. Both my daughters are extremely weight conscious. Sometimes it worries me if I hear the word fat (they're both a size 8!) I had no plans last night. I work weekends so I rarely do much unless it's important or I have booked time off. I did...

Mmmm. That sounds yummy. I love dippy foods :)

Hey rosied. Here to follow if that's ok. Try not to beat yourself up over your midnight snack fest!! Just think, you probably did that all the time before you joined WW and you have your weekies to play around with :)

Oh and have a lovely night and enjoy spending your weeklies :) :)

It's an exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels (one of the trainers from Biggest Loser USA) It's really tough but only 20 minutes long so you know the end is near haha!! You should check it out. I started off doing it from You Tube for free but then I bought it cos it was on offer on Amazon for a...

Hey rosied :) I'm on 31 propoints per day and have 26 weeklies left (damn red wine!!). I very rarely use all my weeklies but always use some. I earn between 6 and 12 activity points per day too but I never eat these. I'm also still breastfeeding but I don't use my 7 extra points for this...

I started my weight loss journey on January 17th 2013. I was 19 stone 0.5 lbs. I was on my way to depression and basically hated myself. I was severely restricted in what I could do, I even had to ask for help carrying my baby upstairs :( I'd lost weight with Weight Watchers a few times but I...

Today is a much better day. Head's back on straight and I'm feeling strong and motivated. I'm accepting me. I'm not perfect 100% of the time in any area of my life but I strive to be a better person all the time. Same with my diet :)

Aw I feel even worse after reading your lovely messages. Eaten loads of crap last night and today. Feel so gross right now and so worried about myself. How the hell am I going to maintain when I'm at goal if I can't be trusted around food. Cant believe getting in a size 12 coat instigated a...

That's exactly what it felt like marie. In fact this is what I'll have when the family have take away :) So I've lost 3 lbs this week. I know I shouldn't be disappointed but I am, slightly. I've been so good and stuck to 100% all week (minus the cupcake incident last Saturday) I've refused lots...

It's more like a curry sauce. I sprinkled my chips with paprika. Yum yum. Here's a pic....

Well nandos was a complete success. Yaaaay! Never been so happy to see coke zero! Didn't know they had it at nandos :) been 100% for ages now and I have loads of energy. I'm finally in the zone and loving this diet again. I had the curry pack last night with swede chips. It was the BEST meal...

Loving being in ketosis. For the last two nights I have had to force my last pack down. Had the chocolate shake, hot. Really yummy but I've just not been hungry. Tomorrow night will be another difficult night. I'm meeting my best friend for dinner at Nando's. We usually share the houmous and...

Thanks Sammy. The days certainly go by more nicely when you're not RAVENOUS don't they?! Spangly, I've been mulling over what you wrote for most of the day (what an exciting life I lead eh?!) I have analysed the moment that I decided to pop the cake in my mouth and I have no excuse! The fact...

Definitely in ketosis :) :) stinky breath, freezing cold and don't want my last pack. Just not hungry!

Wow Sammy, that's absolutely amazing. Just shows what being 100% can do :) :)

Thank you sammy. I truly am proud of myself. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to get to the right headspace to change my life around and lose the weight. I was terribly depressed when that first photo was taken. Weasy I totally understand what you're saying. The lettuce tasted delicious. So...

Progress pics so far 19 stone 0.5 lbs to 14 stone 1 .....

Haha! I can't count! It's actually 15 lbs in three weeks!!

So official weigh in and I'm 197 lbs so 4 lbs off this week. :) :) that's a stone in three weeks. Yesterday I was 100% again and I had a lifestyle day. Was going to have a hot shake at 11.30pm but really fancied some real food so I had 150 g of wafer thin ham shredded, lettuce, trimmed...

Thank you so much ladies. I remember how great ketosis is so that's my goal right now. I'm almost half way through day 4 of being 100%. My next test will be at my friends house on Saturday evening. She doesn't know I'm back on this diet because last time she really didn't approve (weight...

Day three of being 100%...... DONE!! Struggled again and I'm in bed with a rumbling tummy but I'm doing it! I'm actually doing it!! Now please hurry up ketosis!

Hey pink tulip. Yesterday was ok. Managed to do 100% again and I'm proud of myself cos the demons were talking to me all evening! I also can't wait for this week to be over. I hate fighting through every day :( I'm so grumpy with my children. They're sick of me!! I had a sneaky weigh in this...

That's a great idea weasey. I absolutely love raw veg :)

Spangly just noticed your sig in my journal and O....M....G!!!! That is amazing. Just goes what you can achieve when you stick to it 100%. You are my inspiration :) :) well done hun x

Thanks spangly. That's a great way of looking at it :) Tulip, my friends just don't get it at all and are all trying to persuade me back to weight watchers. I don't want to go to weight watchers. It takes twice as long to get to goal and I really didn't spend my points wisely. I'd eat 0 point...

I didn't want to say last night in case I jinxed it but DAY 1 OF BEING 100% COMPLETE!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!!! It was a bit touch and go for a while cos I was really hungry by midnight but I just tried to go to sleep. I really struggle sleeping while my tummys rumbling but I managed to drop off at...

That's a good idea hun. It'll keep you motivated when you think of bring gorgeous and slim at your Christmas do :) I'm lucky on the weekends because I work permanent weekends :)

Thanks for your support ladies :) How have you got on pink tulip? It's day one for me as well! I totally get where you're coming from. The last Christmas do I went to I was huuuge! Sammy I completely agree. Distraction is definitely key. I never cheat when I'm at work cos I'm busy and thinking...

Hi all. I'm really hoping this will help keep me motivated. I really feel ready for this but in my weak moments I find it so difficult to be strong. I have a dieting journal on another forum but it's not specific to slim and save so I don't think people can understand as they don't know much...

I don't like the crispy ones and I'm scared to have the cookies and cream because I've heard so many bad things about it! I love the taste of the tomato soup but hate the smell!

I'd love to join please. The title of the thread caught my attention because I really need some tough love at times. Now, being one of them! I lost 50 lbs with weight watchers but needed to lose a bit quicker to fit in my wedding dress so started on S&S. I lost 20 lbs in three and a half weeks...

Well I was just lying in bed and all of a sudden I thought, blummin 'eck I haven't don't my diary for AGES !! Altogether I've lost 23lbs. I'm still going strong. I've almost lost 10% of my weight and I feel great. In mind and body. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Drink loads of water, watch...

Aw thanks Aisha. Half a pound was unexpected but gratefully accepted !! I've had a much better week. I'm totally getting addicted to exercise!! Getting sweaty and moving a lot used to scare the he'll out of me but now I love the rush !! I even kept up with my 13 yr old daughter tonight woo hoo...

Lost 1/2 lb this week. Should have put on really but I was really careful and exercised more. Really got into my hip hop dancing and love kick boxing. I bought a DVD last year and never really bothered but I'm loving it now.

Well I've just had the worst four days since starting my diet. I lost 1 lb last week which I was so proud of because of "pancake gate!!" but I don't know what's come over me at all. Just been shovelling all kinds of junk in my gob ! Chocolate, icecream, cake, crisps, takeaways. Made myself sick...

Thanks for the tipwalkonby. I'll definitely try that. Love hot chocolate too. And slimmingagain I can't get over your weight losses. You should be so proud of yourself. Fan bloody tastic!!! What do you mean by "real food" ? Are you on shakes? Sorry for the noseyness!! I've had a terrible food...

They're absolutely delicious slimmingagain. I make them for the whole family and even my daughter who is so blinkin fussy loves them. You just bash your chicken breasts till flattened. Add a heaped teaspoon of soft cheese with garlic and herbs. Roll up the breasts ( use coctail sticks to secure...

Just wanted to say hi and hope it all goes ok. You sound very determined which is half the battle won IMO x

Well I had to check in tonight to say how much fun I had at hip hop tonight !! I nearly didn't make it cos I almost chickened out but then I thought to myself ... Why not? Why shouldn't I go? And I had a brilliant time. Had a great work out and had lots of fun too!! This time four weeks ago I...

Aw that's brilliant Amber. My head is racing with all kinds. Me and OH were butting heads over the guests at the sit down meal last night !! Wedding politics arrrggghhhhh!! As far as my diet goes I've had a good week and have actually struggled eating all my points!! Even yesterday at our...

Hey that sounds great Amber. Me and my Oh are going out for the first time ever on valentines day. I usually cook. No swanky hotel for us though. We're saving for our wedding!! We're going to the restaurant where he took me on our first date. I'm really looking forward to it and have even...

Hee hee Amber! I've felt my resolve slipping a little today and have been craving sweet stuff so I just had a cuppa soup and a weightwatchers chocky bar and that seemed to do the trick!! I'm quite irritable too. Everything is just getting on my nerves so I've come to bed and I'm gonna watch my...

So finally made up with OH !! He's admitted he needs some help with his nicotine withdrawal and is off to the smoking cessation clinic Monday!!! I've allowed myself a treat today. Well two actually. A sausage roll and a doughnut. This seems to be working for me. I have one day a week where I...

Hey Amber. Thought I'd pop over and say hello and have a look at your diary. Looks like you're doing really well. I absolutely LOVE Kelly clarkeson. So does my 12 yr old daughter. I'm sooo jealous!! Em x

Well things are still awful at home but I'm not letting that get me down and nothing will make me eat junk. I've had a great food day anyhow. I'm particularly enjoying my soups i've been making. It's been leek and potato this week. Planning my meals and writing it all down is a massive part of...

Aw thanks Amber. What a lovely post. I will definitely be using PLIM. Well I haven't been around much to write my diary but I'm still going strong. I've stuck to my diet for two weeks now and got weighed in this morning. Lost 1 and a half lbs this week. Yay!! I was completely shocked because...

Thurs 28th jan Had a brilliant day today. All my hard work has totally paid off. I've lost 5.5lbs. Woo hoo!!! No food makes me feel as good as did on those scales this morning. My grandma (who goes as well) was so proud of me. My OH, children and friends are too. But the main thing is, I'm so...

Thanks slimmingagain for your support. Saturday 23rd Jan Went to McDonalds this morning with my daughter and neice. They had pancakes with lashings of syrup, I had porrige!!! For lunch I had two eggs, scrambled on one wholemeal toast with no butter or spread. Mid afternoon snack weightwatcher...

So I did it!! Nearly didn't go!! I overslept and almost talked myself out of going but remembered how much I needed/wanted to lose weight and got my ass in gear!! It was so lovely seeing all my old friends. They were so welcoming. Especially my leader. First weigh in - 17 st 5 lbs. Ouch!! But...

Wednesday 20th January 2010 Dear Diary. So this was my last day of junk eating but really didn't feel like stuffing my face. Hopefully this is a sign that I'm ready to get down to my ideal weight. It's going to be a long, hard slog, but I feel ready. I have wonderful goals to lose weight for...

Tuesday 19th January 2010 dear diary! Here I go again! Can't even count the amount of diets I've been on over the last 8 yrs. Wouldn't even try there's that many!! So what's different this time?? For one, and the most serious, I actually feel so so low some days, I actually want to end my...

Hi there. I'm new to this too. I want to lose seven stone!! Wooooa. That does not look good written down. I start back at Weightwatchers on Thursday. I'm sick of being this way and feel very determined. Nice to meet you!!
