I really want to get into all the obstacle course racing next year. Not fit enough to get through it without having to do loads of burpees yet! I want to do yorkshire warrior in april, which is 16k. Then maybe aim for the spartan trifecta. Its whats motivating me to push myself at the gym and...
wow, you look amazing in those pics. Well jealous about the emirates seat lol, was in an aisle seat in Oct and had to have the arm rest up to be able to feel comfortable, such a tight fit.
Love the dresses as well. wish I had more of those. Hell Bunny has some nice dresses. Have you looked at...
Hi, well done for being so close to your goal now! I epically failed with SW which is why i've not been on for months. Now just trying eating better and going to a personal trainer. Got bored of SW.
Oh and I flew with emirates in Oct and had seatbelt on as loose as it would go. Didn't need an...
I'm going to read divergent soon. Love YA books. One of my fave series is 'The Enemy' by Charlie Higson. All about zombies and stuff. Read Unwind recently. Neal Shusterman (not sure of spelling) I think wrote that series. Really enjoyed the first book so have downloaded the others in the series.
Thanks. I'm still comfort eating today, blah. Doctor has put me on tablets for it. Took one this morning and now I have the worst headache ever. Not sure if its the tablets or not. Hopefully will start feeling better in next few weeks. And I've heard this type of tablet may decrease appetite...
-5lbs this week =D haven't had a good week, been really depressed the last couple of weeks so have been comfort eating a lot. Going to the doctor tomorrow about it as I can't stand feeling this way anymore =/ I want to get better so just going to take things 1 day at a time.
Lost 2lbs since last time so back down to 16st 5lbs. Was naughty yesterday but I want to be good today. Looks like it will be a busy day at work so won't have much time to eat.
Hopefully. I've been good since then as well!
Managed to get loads done this weekend. Completely tidied my room yesterday and threw out loads of stuff I don't need or use. Today I've made a batch of bolognase to freeze and also made a load of frozen chips. Started to change my bed, done a load...
Managed to get back onto the diet. Was off my food for a couple of days, think the chicken I ate at the premier inn on sat may have been a bit dodgy. Hardly ate anything on sun and mon and ate a takeaway on tues night as I was craving that and had only had a banana and a bit of salad during the...
Had an awesome time at Download. Failed at meeting up with my friend, was probably standing right near her but couldn't actually see her. Managed to meet all of Rammstein in the signing tent. Only problem I did have that my feet were killing me all the time, I've got plantar fasciitis so get...
Saw them at download last night and they were amazing as always! Also got to meet them at the signing tent. Richard was the only one that said hello. Still worth waiting forever in the queue. Was one of the last people to be let in.
I'm meeting up with a friend at some point, but I don't mind going round alone. Spent the morning listening to stone sour. Wish I had been there yesterday to see slipknot and HIM. About to leave soon to get a train over to Nottingham. Really need time away from home and work so looking forward...
Yeah, I'm going on the Sunday. Heading over to Nottingham on sat and coming home Monday. Staying in a premier inn, i'd hate to camp lol. Going alone but not too bothered tbh. I spent the sat of sonisphere 2010 on my own coz everyone else was too hungover to go see 1 of the bands I wanted to see...
Another sts this week. Managed a 100% day today. Feel much better than I have been in a while. Been feeling down a lot lately, so comfort ate, blah! Need to get into a routine really.
Feeling really sleepy tonight which is great. Want an early night as there's a few things I want to do in the...
Well that plan didn't work. Ordered takeaway coz im not in the mood to cook atm. Found out that my brother has got the cheque for my inheritance money with him. He's been at our dads the last few days and I was allowed the money when I turned 25, which I did on sat. I wasn't expecting to get it...
Had a good day yesterday. But not so good today. Already messed up by eating wayyyy too much chocolate this morning and now I just want to eat chocolate brownies. I'm not going to though! I'm gonna make myself have some grapes and a diet coke and that should stop me craving them! I really want...
Sts =) still not back on track so am happy with that. Hoping for a good day today then it will be easier to stick to it. Birthday done so only bad days will be download then its only 4 months untill south africa =) so really need to get back into the diet and exercise!
Thanks. I really wanna feel better. I think I'm just going to try to relax as much as possible for the rest of this week and not try to rush things. If I get time on sunday then I will do a bit of research into getting myself better. Exercise is meant to be really good for thyroid problems, and...
Black. It really needed the roots doing. I normally get my mum to do it, but I thought i'd give the colour mask a go. Looks better now anyway.
It still seems to be totm still, so that may count towards the gain??? Been a week now, thought it had finished and now it's at it's worse. Felt so...
+3lbs this time. My own fault coz I just kept eating junk. Feeling much better now though and so far so good today. Made my meals ready for the week and more. I'm working 8.30am until 6.30pm for the rest of the week, so having the meals ready to put in the microwave is deffo handy. I'll just...
Spoke too soon! Went for a random meal out after finished work. Lucky i hadnt used any syns apart from the relentless. Still went over tho. Back to plan tomorrow!
Thanks, back to plan now! Was naughty and had another take away last night, was not in the mood for ANY form of cooking at all last night. Been good so far tonight. Still have syns to use up, glad I do because I didn't realise sugar free relentless has 15 cals in it. So gotta use a syn for that...
Lost 1lb =) I'm happy with that esp since it is deffo TOTM and I've ate loads of junk all week. I've been stressed I think. All of downstair was getting a makeover, new carpets and sofas etc so it was a bit crazy, plus my mum and step-dad had the week off so i never got any time by myself. I...
Pretty sure it was the same guy. He randomly added our work exp student on Facebook, and he was the same age, had the same job and looked the same. Just seemed a bit creepy. Glad I didn't message him.
Had a crap week. Not been on plan, just felt moody and had migraines the last few days. I'm...
Yeah, next weeks will probably be messed up too. I'm not sure that it's definitely that time yet but it seems like it. Guys have it so much easier. this makes losing weight hard coz it's so disheartening at WI time -__-
Think one of the guys off POF came into the vets tonight. Hope he didn't...
STS :( I think it may be coming up to that time so will just see what I am next week. Would explain the moodiness this weekend and just wanting chocolate all the time.
Next time I try I should hopefully be nice and slim so shouldn't be too worried about my weight :) Just meeting people off...
Hi! Starting again? Hate it when you gain the weight back, so easy to go back to old habits. I just keep thinking that I've done it before so I can do it again. I prefer SW, doesn't feel like a diet really and no calorie counting =D
I will try again when i'm ready. I've met ex's online before...
I think i'm going to leave dating until I've sorted myself out first. I need to concentrate on me, which wouldn't happen if I was in a relationship. Once I've lost the weight and sorted out other things, like my thyroid. The skin on my face has been horrible lately, really dry, red and sore. and...
Well, I deleted my PoF profile. Even though I feel ready for a new relationship, I don't feel desperate. I'd rather concentrate on losing the weight and achieving my goals in life at the moment. When I get into relationships, I tend to give up on things I want. If I meet someone randomly now...
I had loads of chocolate and crisps. then had horrible nachos when I went ten pin bowling. They were cold, no cheese on them and the dips were horrible as well. Wish I had suggested to going to the mexican across the road. Was so disappointing. I also had 2 small cans of regular monster, I...
Yet another non-scale victory! :D Had to check when I got home last night if I had grabbed my old pair of jeans by mistake because the ones I was wearing were too baggy. They were the right size jeans that I had only just got and was the first time wearing this weekend. Just tried the next size...
-2lbs this week. Bit disappointed by that but at least its going the right way. My foots not hurting as much now so I'm hoping I can get back to the gym this week. Not going to do kettlercise this week because we're having the carpets taken up ready to have new ones put in a week on weds, so...
I really liked Iron Man 3. I do like Robert Downey Jr tho... :p
The insoles I got today seem to help my foot. It doesn't hurt as much now. I'm also putting the anti-inflammatory gel on 3 times a day and stretching my feet twice a day. So hopefully I will be able to walk around pain-free soon. I...
Oooo not played Guitar Hero in months. I have it for the wii. I used to play it all the time at college. Managed to get 100% on Linkin Park 'What I've Done' on expert. Took me hours to do though and my housemate was about to kill me but the end lol. I can't play it as well now though. Can't even...
Yay for the dresses fitting. I tried clothes shopping recently and hated it coz I couldn't find anything nice that would fit me. I'm a pear shape too. I'm usually a size smaller in my tops than Evans have really nice jeans that are fitted specially for pears! Sooo comfy. First time wearing the...
Don't think it's serious, just really annoying. I had really bad dry skin as well so don't think it was just depression.
I've ended up going to see Iron Man 3 alone coz I got bored and no one else will go with me. Apparently it's the best one.
I've been diagnosed with Plantar Faciitis. It's inflammation of a ligament like tissue in the foot. I've been prescribed a strong anti-inflammatory gel to put on my foot and i'm going to go into town to look at some insoles. I'm not going to stop going to the gym, just going to take it a bit...
Might try a green day on Monday since I'm off. Just need to look into it a bit more first.
I love mikado but haven't had any for ages. I kinda eat the whole pack when I buy them... I'll get some when I next go shopping, I think I'm better at controlling myself now.
Haven't been to the gym for...
Thanks, I'm just glad the extra 3lbs have gone and I've lost something! Really long day at work. started at 8.30am, hopefully finishing at half 6. Gonna get up at 5.50am tomorrow morning again. It's way too early. But it means I can get up, do either kettlercise or 30 day shred, then get to the...
-4lbs! Not as good as yesterday showed but it still means those 3lbs gone plus 1 extra! No gym this morning as I've been called in to work all day :( Have got a kettlebell workout in tho, then just as it finished and I need to start getting sorted to leave for the gym I get a call from work...
I'm going to attempt to do it Mon, Weds and Fri. I'm using the kettlercise for women DVD and a 2kg kettlebell to start with. Did my first workout on Friday and I'm still sore now, esp my abs. As long as it helps the weight loss and tones my body I'll push through the pain :)
Ate too many syns at lunch at my grandma and grandads. Must be coming up to around 60 syns as I had a bit of ice cream after. Scary how quickly it all adds up. I've been good for the last 3 weeks though and I rarely eat out anyway. I'm sure I'll work it all off this week :)
Going to have to...
I love going to the gym coz i can run there. Not confident enough to run outside just yet.
Had a sneaky look at scales this morning and i'm VERY happy. Can't wait to see what it will be tomorrow =D
My friends from around London used to go to Sin City and Voodoo. I wish I lived down there. The only rock club here is on a Thursday night which is useless for me. The one I went to when I was at college is over an hours drive away :( I hate the other clubs around here so it's rare that I will...
Thanks :) I'm keeping my avatar pic on as motivation. I lost 3st a couple of years ago and managed to get into that dress. It's the largest size they do in those brands. I put all the weight back on plus a stone. Only 3st to go until I should be able to fit into it again.
I've got a load of...
Hi, well done on the weight loss so far! :)
Slimming world is much easier to stick to that other diets I think. It really doesn't feel like much of a diet. I eat loads, mainly fruit and veg now. I still allow myself chocolate every day, had a few binges in the first couple of weeks but now I...
Birds eye bake to perfection salmon is £3 at morrisons at the min, usually £3.99. As well as the other baked to perfection fish I believe. Salmon is the only free one though and tastes really nice :)
Really aching today! Did a kettlercise workout before going to the gym yesterday and it's not easy! I'm glad I only got a 2kg kettlebell to start with. I went to the gym after and managed to do 1km in under 10 mins on the treadmill. when I started I could do 1km in just under 12 mins. I did 2...
Feel much better today. Got up later than I wanted to today, but I made myself go to the gym. I managed to do some running on the treadmill. Only 1 minute at a time, but it's still better than just walking. I was going to do the kettlercise when I came home but the dvd player didn't like it. It...
I'm just trying to carry on with life atm. Feeling down and tired isn't going to go away just yet I don't think. I think it's mainly hormonal, I still feel tired even if I get enough sleep. I've booked an appointment at the doctors on Monday to see what else can be done. I hate feeling this way...
Thanks :) I'm not stressing about the gain really. It'll go eventually. I'm eating right and exercising, so can't really do much more about it.
I just feel depressed for no reason atm. I hate feeling like this, I want to be happy and get on with life. I didn't go to the gym this morning as I...
£80pm?! Thats well expensive. I only pay £12.96pm.
Well done on the loss =D
I like the australian biggest loser. Id rather have those trainers than bob and jillian lol
A lot of my thyroid symptoms have seemed to have come back :( Feel really depressed and stressed today, no idea why. I can't concentrate at all and feel really easily confused. I just can't think straight. It's really annoying when I feel this way. I feel ridiculously tired, I know i've been up...
Good luck with the WI! Hopefully you will have a nice surprise. :)
I love going to the gym now. Not easy getting the motivation to start going again but it's worth it. I feel great now after going this morning. The biggest loser is definitely good motivation for going. If people who are bigger...
+2lbs. I've not cheated and I managed to go to the gym 3 times last week. I'm hoping it's water retention from starting to add exercise in and hopefully it will go away next weigh in!
+2lb!!! :confused::( It is disappointing. I haven't cheated, I've been to the gym, I should have lost. But I guess it's common to gain when starting to add exercise in? It hasn't put me off though. I had a good workout this morning. I even managed to run. Only at a minute at a time, but it's...
I think I really need to stop having sneak peeks at my weight, I've gained 2 more lbs when I checked this morning! I've not cheated and have been to the gym 3 times in the last week. I'm hoping it's just water retention from the exercise. I felt really sore and tired yesterday so having a...
Been to the gym 3 times this week so have completed another goal :D I'm deffo going to continue going to the gym as I feel much happier and have more energy during the day. Plus I love the feeling after a good work out. Esp the tight feeling in my abs after doing crunches and sit ups. The...
Had a really long exhausting day. Started off with the gym. Grenade tablets really work. I've never pushed myself like that at the gym!! I wanted to stop early, but made myself get to 1km, or 5 more minutes, etc. I made myself do 5 minutes on the bike going above a certain speed, wasn't easy. I...
Just got an email from SW to say I've been added to the hall of fame on the website as Slimmer of the week for last week. My name is on there =D will be adding that badge to my sig later today. I do SW online so didn't think I could get slimmer of the week.
Don't get too stressed about the sts. It'll get moving again soon enough =)
Your job sounds interesting, even if it does sound stressful. I can never sleep on flights either and hate airline food. When I came back from Borneo, i had around a 2 hour flight to singapore, 9 hour wait in the...
I'm hypothyroid too. I'm using extra easy atm and losing so it's possible. I was put on 100mcg straight away in Oct and not changed since. I'm having my next blood test on weds so will see what they say, the last blood test said I was on the correct dose but I'm still having some of the...
+1lb but I know why and that should be gone next week. I've been 100% the last 9 days so it definately isn't my fault. I was expecting more of a gain so I'm happy with that.
+1lb but I was expecting more because of how I'm feeling this morning. Don't think the last time was actually it, it is definitely that time now though :sigh: Not going to take any more of the pill now, the only one I've been happy with was the one they took me off. So that's more motivation to...
Yeah, it feels great that I haven't gone over with my syns and I don't actually want to. I think I've figured out why it showed a gain. TOTM again! :mad: It only stopped just over a week ago. I've been on a different pill for the last few months because of my weight. I was happy with the one...
Managed to get through 7 days 100% :D I don't want to eat any more today as I want to go to bed earlyish tonight. I'll buy the book that I've earned for getting through the week when I finish the book I'm reading now. I also managed to stick to my meal plans for the week! :) Have made my meal...
So far 5 100% days and day 6 going well so far. Haven't wanted to binge. I've always eaten for comfort before. I think I've just needed to get used to the fact that I don't need to eat to make me happy, or whenever I get hungry. SW doesn't actually feel like a proper diet, I seem to be eating...
Glad you liked it =) Good luck with your first week.
I got put straight onto 100mcg which I was told was a high starting dose. I haven't had my dose changed but I have my next blood test on weds so will see what they say.
Good luck with the WI =)
I was really disappointed with the host. I loved the book but they missed out huge chunks of it. I was interested to see how they did all the stuff about wandas past, they didn't even mention it. And mel and wandas relationship was too confusing. My friend who hadn't...
4th 100% day in a row, yay! I can fit chocolate in tomorrow, so don't really want any now. Had the frozen lasagne today and it was yummy, much better than the inedible stuff I made last time. Also haven't had any fizzy drinks yesterday or today and I feel fine :) Not really craving any. I know I...
It's definately nice to see a loss. It was so disheartening when I didn't lose weight when I tried last time, I was probably better at keeping to the plan then as well! Underactive thyroid affects so much. I felt depressed and generally not right for a couple of years. As soon as I got on the...
By the way, I've found it easier taking the tablets just before bed, waiting at least 2 hours after eating or drinking anything other than water. Means I can't snack at night, I finish work at 7pm so I'm eating my dinner late anyway.
Hi,
I'm hypothyroid and I've lost 1st 1lb in 4 weeks, so it can work. I tried slimming world last year before I was diagnosed and hardly lost anything, which made me give up. I've been taking thyroxine since end of October and last time I had my blood test 3 months ago they said I was on the...
Thanks. It's definately given me motivation to be good.
I worked out the lasagne for 4 portions using both sauces plus a tin of tomato soup and it came to 11.5 syns for the lot. I put some low low grated cheese on there as I can count that as my healthy extra. It was yummy. I'd rather use my...
7lbs lost :D had chocolate binges on a few days in the last week so really didn't think i'd lose that much! Means I've lost 1st 1lbs in 4 weeks :) Forgot to say in the last few posts but my clothes do feel looser.
The last 2 days have been good, I haven't gone over with my syns at all. I seem...
Had a 100% day today :) Not eating anything else now so I can get an early night. I'm on call tonight and tomorrow night so want to try to make the most of what free time I do have tomorrow (10am-4pm).
Food for today:
Breakfast: Weetabix and semi-skimmed milk, (HEX A and B), plus cup of tea...
Hi, thought I may as well read/post on your diary for once :)
I quite liked Oz. I liked Zach Braff in it, didn't realise he did the voice for Finley until after though. I agree it wasn't James Franco's best film though. He was great in 127 hours and Pineapple express.
I don't mind going to...
I don't think it was a energy come down. I was fine the next day. I think it was because we were operating for most of the day and had loads of consults as well. I was running around developing xrays as well. Just was a non-stop day.
I'm not going to aim for 11st by october. I think 13st would...
Failed miserably today :sigh: The lasagne was horrible after it had been frozen so couldn't eat it and have thrown away all the rest of the portions in the freezer. Then binged on chocolate, as I didn't have time/energy to cook anything else. I just wanna sleep but i'm staying up to watch Game...
Didn't make it to the gym this morning. But I did take the grenade tablet and it worked! Had no cola today, and I've had loads of energy all day. It's just going now. Think i'm ready for bed lol. Had a non-stop day at work (probably done enough exercise because of that). I'm sooo glad I have...
I'm still going to try to go to the gym in the mornings. I feel much happier and awake when I've been and the only time I really get time to do a lot of cooking is at the weekend anyway. If I don't go to the gym I stay in bed for a few extra hours, which isn't good. At least then I have a reason...
I saw muse in November. Really enjoyed it. Need to see linkin park and i know my mum would like to as well. Saw 30 seconds to mars with her.
Being on call is horrible. Can't switch off and if i do get called out then it affects the next day. Not gonna go to the gym if im at work until past...
I'm going to try Grenade tablets. Been told they're very good for energy for workouts and helps to burn fat. Which I need since I like to go to the gym first thing in the morning. They have caffeine in them as well as green tea. I'm only going to try 1 tablet before a work out to start with. If...
I didn't even know about the signing until I got home. Would have liked to have met any of them. How many times have you seen them? I saw them at Manchester in 2010, then at Sonisphere and then in Birmingham last year. Took my mum to see them last year as it was on her Birthday. She loved it...
I lost 1lb :D Really thought I would gain this time. Had a 100% day yesterday and planning another 100% day today.
Just been shopping for all the ingredients for the lasagne I'll be making tonight. Hopefully it turns out nice. I tried my slimming world frozen chips yesterday and they tasted...
Had a really bad craving for chocolate earlier (totm explains it! So not expecting a loss tomorrow). Managed to get past it though. And swapped my easter egg with 2 snack sized mars bars for 4 creme eggs. These will be much easier to fit into my days than the easter egg or mars bars. Plus I like...
Right, I'll post a proper reply now. Was on my phone the last time.
I'm trying to wean myself off the non-diet fizzy drinks. I used to drink loads of the stuff. I hated the taste of the diet stuff and they always made me feel even more hungry. I've got a bit used to them now tho, so I'm just...
There is a lot of pasta. But im still new to sw really and havent had chance to really look at all the meal options yet. Pasta salad is easy to take to work with me. And the spag bol and lasagne will be easy for when i finish work at 7pm.
Im planning on having a real good look into everything...
Hi Sophie.
Thanks :) Unfortunately I knew the syns before I ate it. I don't cope well with stress. Getting better though.
You're going to Download then? I've got a day ticket for Sunday so I can see Rammstein again (will be my 4th time seeing them). I'd love to be able to wear a nice outfit...
I'm having a couple of bad days. Had a 'day off' from the diet yesterday as I had a day out and didn't get have chance to cook anything. I rarely eat out, as I don't really like it too much so I don't feel this will a big problem in the future. Had Mexican for lunch and then cheesy chips later...
I've got a sunday day ticket for Download, just so I can see them again. Will be my 4th time seeing them, can't wait! Managed to get to 2nd row from front at Sonisphere, perfect view coz someone short was stood in front of me. I'm going to see if I can get near the front again :D
So I've lost 1lb. Not as good as I was hoping for since my sneak peak yesterday morning showed 3lbs lost?? :confused: But i've now lost 7lbs in total and I've earned my 1/2 stone award.
Didn't make it to the gym this morning, but I did wake up at the right time and sat and read instead. Just...
Second week nearly done :D. Had a sneak peak at weight this morning and it looks good. Official weigh in is Mondays so will post my weight tomorrow. I'm enjoying cooking now and have a load of plastic tubs ready so I can cook big batches of food and stick them in the freezer. I'm not finding it...
Hi!
This is the second time I've attempted to lose weight through slimming world. This first time failed miserably, don't think I really lost anything. I'm hypothyroid so I don't think that helped. The last time was before I was diagnosed and put on tablets. I've just survived my first week and...
Lol i'm useless at this. I've probably put on more weight now -_-
I've recently been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, which explains a lot. I was feeling tired ALL the time and depressed. I've been taking the tablets for just under 2 weeks now. In the last couple of days, i've been...
Went to see it again last night =D some things make more sense watching it a second time. Mainly wanted to watch it for Bane, even a mask Tom Hardy is still hot, especially with the muscles lol!

Thanks! I wouldn't be surprised if I have gained this week, but need to learn from my mistakes and I'm hating how I'm feeling now. So going to have an early night and have a good day tomorrow.
I'm thinking of going to either africa or the Caribbean for 3 to 4 weeks around sept to nov 2013. I'm...
Well, not been doing well the last few day. Majorly binged on junk. I think being stressed coz of work hasn't helped. Had a mcds yesterday, didn't really enjoy it tho and went out today and had a piece of chocolate cake, no breakfast, just junk for most of the day. My depression seems to be...
I've lost 3lbs when I've weighed in this morn. So even with a couple of slip ups I've lost a good amount. I'm not aiming for huge losses, 2lbs a week would be fine for me =) it shows I can still have a few treats and still lose so I shouldn't worry as much as I have.
I really need to do more...
Hi! I'm doing SW from home as I can't afford the meetings. Only been doing it for 2 weeks now and loving it. Not bingeing on junk anymore but not feeling starved, 2nd weigh in tomorrow so hopefully will have a loss. Not been perfect, went over my syns yesterday by having half a pint of cola in...
I loved it! Can't wait until the DVD comes out lol.
I had half a pint of cola while we were waiting as the cinema had a bar. It was over my syns but I'm not worrying. Need little treats occasionally.
Have missed breakfast this morn since I've only just woken up. Had a really busy week at work...
Yay, managed to have a 100% day today. Even though I had a stressful non stop day at work today and debated binging on a box of brownies, but came home and cooked frylight chips and spag hoops instead! Then had a mini choc binge within my syns. Love that SW still allows me to do this. Feel like...
Been good so far up until today. Ended up having 1 1/2 pints of normal pepsi at the pub tonight. Resisted the urge to binge on crisps and chocolate though! Had a good day at work up until the end when I finished an hour late because of an emergency, didn't mind as I'm on call tonight anyway, but...
Thanks =) I've just found my before and after pics from my previous attempt at losing weight ( calorie counting), I had lost 3 stone that way but that was a really stressful way. I've eaten so much today that i feel so full that I can't possibly fit anything else in. Yet I've had a 100% day...
Wow, it's handy having these on here! I've put ALL the weight back on. So now I'm trying slimming world, and so far I feel like I can stick to it =) I've lost the weight before, I can lose it again!

Went a bit over my syns last night, went to the pub, had 2 diet pepsis and vodka, the 2nd my mum got me, should have said no. I don't normally drink, and if I do it's alcopops or jaques cider but those are far more syns than vodka and coke, so I guess that was a win there. But they put out...
Got some mini choc brownies from Morrisons for my weekly treat, been craving them all week. Only had half the box and can't eat anymore, feel a bit sick. Gonna give the rest to my brother. Much rather eat some fruit at the mo. Yay! =D this is a good sign, I'll still allow myself a treat each...
Nearly at the end of the first week =) not been doing as well as I could be but still trying to get used to it. I think I'm going to allow myself 1 day a week when I can have a treat. Use up my syns for the day on that and will probably go well over but I'll try my best to lower the amount I...
So far all 100% days =D and have used less than 15 syns on the last few days. Find it hard to use them up! Had a curly wurly and a freddo bar tonight and still have 4 syns left for today. Used free food or HEX's for my meals. I'm so glad the baked to perfection salmon is free, it's the only way...
Thanks, day 2 and I've managed to get through it. I may end up having pasta salads for lunch at work everyday but that's still much better than having sandwiches. I feel like I can live with SW for however long I need to stay on it, just need to find more recipes that I can use. Had veg stir...
First day done! I survived! :D had all 15 syns. Jumbo choc chip snack a jacks, frozen curly wurleys and mini milks are lifesavers.
Hopefully tomorrow will be easier!

I'm already struggling. Just wanna eat everything. Went out to a cafe earlier and only had a can of diet coke, resisted all the cakes and things. But I think the diet coke is the problem. Whenever I've had diet cola or pepsi max in the past, I've eaten pretty much non-stop for the rest of the...

Thanks. Good luck with your weight loss too! =) I've made a diary already and I will try to post on there as much as I can. Just need to make a meal plan for my first week and figure out some goals and rewards. I'm putting more effort in this time. Have several books ready to record weight loss...
Hi! I'm starting SW on Monday, doing it from home as I can't get to a meeting.

I really like them. And I find it hard to get into books most of the time. The third book is my fave so far. A feast for crows seems to be getting better but basically this book and A dance with dragons have been split so most of my fave characters to read are in book 5. I have it sat at home...

Went to see Transformers 3 for the third time last night (have unlimited card and im not interested in anything else thats out atm!).
Sat night I watched harry potter and the deathly hallows pt1, it was ok. I'm not really that bothered about the new one unlike most people I know.
Seems a stupid question, but do you have to keep re-buying books? I told some family/friends that I was thinking about getting a kindle and they said that after a while you had to buy the book again coz it got deleted. :confused:
So who's going to their greatest hits tour?? I'm going to see them at the Birmingham gig. Looks like tickets have been selling out quite quickly!
Hope it isn't their final album/tour :(
I have tickets to see Rammstein at Birmingham on 25th Feb 2012 :D It will be my 3rd time seeing them but my mum hasn't seen them yet and really wants to. Great timing as it's on her birthday so thats her present sorted! lol
