    Wondering if my target weight is too low- thinking what size would I be

    I'm 5ft2, at my lightest I was 8st 13 (I'm a lil bit over that atm ;) lol) I was comfortably a size 8 xx

    I just couldn't help it

    Yep, Just echoing what the others have said. Start afresh today, and get back on track. Learn form it though.... next time remember how you you felt afterwards, it might stop a blip or two in the future xxx

    Whats for breakfast?

    3 LF sausages, loads of 'fried' mushrooms, beans, 'fried' egg and a couple of slices of toast. Wouldn't normally eat that much fr brekkie, but am off to the Gym soon, and unless I eat loads before I get massively hungry when I get out and grab the closet thing (usually from the vending machine :( )

    To lose 7lb to take me back to target, then drop another 5, so when it's * star week I feel a little more comfortable and have something to play with, especially since being on the implant!!

    Lol, it just made me feel sick. I was so good at lucnchtime today too!! Grr... nevermind. Moved on, drawn the line etc, etc.... Mark, where in Brighton are you?
  14. CamilleBates

    Ugh... why do I do it?

    I'm so annoyed with myself :( Back on the wagon after being a bit reckless for a few months, gained around 12lbs from my lightest weight (which I would like to get back to). Managed 100% yesterday, and was doing so well today until I decided it would be a good idea to attack the nutella jar...

    Been a while!!!

    Hi everyone!! Hope you're all good :) Well, I'm back after a few months off plan.... My jeans started getting tighter and tighter, and I jumped on the scales this morning to find 5lb on! I know it could be a lot worse, but I would rather shift it now rather than having to shift double that...

    Calling target early?

    I probably wouldn't call target right now. If you're going through a stressful time that can trigger all sorts of bad eating, which will lead to you possibly gaining weight again. Being at target doesn't mean you can eat what you like, it is hard work! It would be just as stressful to try to...

    A Week Behind???

    Me, me, me!!! *stick hand in the air* I always catch up a week later... I would have a week where I was 100% bang on the whole time, yet I'd lose half a pound.... the next week I could have a worse week and lose 3lb.... there was definately a pattern to it for me! x
  23. CamilleBates

    i need to get to it!

    13.5lb's in 8 weeks is most certainly not rubbish!!! What would have happened if you hadn't lost that 13.5lb in that 8 weeks? Maybe you would have put almost as much on? You're doing a great job, it can be hard to be good all of the time, so don't beat yourself up if you fall of the wagon every...

    taking a holiday from SW?

    I'd guess if you haven't takn yur holiday you should be able to do it? I don't know if there is any limit to how much you can take at once though? I think your best bet is to speak to your consultant, they should be able to tell you what to do... Sorry I'm not much help! I take it you've looked...

    Is my consultant being helpful...?

    Ooooh, I wouldn't stand for that TBH!!! Sometimes life does get in the way, and sometimes you just don't want to be good all the time. Your consultant should be praising you for still losing after the weekend you had. Alot of people would have gained after having a 'bad' week and you should be...

    I was lucky as I never struggled as I neared target. But, you are still losing, ok so it may take you longer than you want to get there but all the time you are losing you are getting closer. The thing you have to remember is that to maintain your target weight you will still need to follow the...

    Since being at target I have been more relaxed about what I eat. I haven't gone back to the way I ate before SW, but I have had things that wouldn't be easy to have whilst trying to lose weight. Whilst maintaining you do get a little extra leeway, so if you want to have a curry for example one...

It was nice to have the freedom, but having the constant doubt hanging over...

    4 syns a tablespoon, whihc is quite high.... But oh so worth it!!! :D
  116. CamilleBates

    Interesting read..possibly how SW works?

    But it's not raw.... any food that comes in a can is cooked. It has to be heated to very high temepratures to sterilize it, so there fore it is cooked slightly. And as for tomotoes, even though they are technically a fruit they are for the purposed of slimming world classed as a vegetable and...

    I do get where you're coming from there. I think though, their trying not to tell you when to use your syns so you can use then on whatever you like.

    What do you drink when you go out ?

    Just checked in the book! Bulmers (pretty much the same as Magners) is 12 syns for a 568ml (pint) bottle Scrumpy jack is 11.5 for 500ml (just under a pint) Strongbow is 6 for a 330ml (just over half a pint) so I would guess a pint is at least 11!! I think your C needs to look in his book!!!
  160. CamilleBates

    What do you drink when you go out ?

    Magners is about 13!!! (A formers Magners addict - I had a whole case left from Christmas when I started SW!!) Magners LIGHT is either 6.5, or 5.5 per pint x

    if i make a pasta sauce using all ss foods......

    Do you mean superfree? Superfree (SF) and superspeed (SS) foods are different things. Some superfree foods are superspeed, but not all superspeed foods are superfree. But if you meant if you made it out of all superfree and blended it, as long as it did actually make up 1/3 then it should be fine.
  163. CamilleBates

    do we have to have our superfree foods at same time?

    Ok... i took too long!! That's a fab idea Stacey! :)
  164. CamilleBates

    do we have to have our superfree foods at same time?

    My personal opinion is that I wouldn't bother with the fruit at all if you are full after the two weetabix. (I wouldn't be though!! So I would have a banana chopped up with it) It would be making you consume calories you don't need if you have already eaten enough. As long as you make sure you...

    Vertical Stripes

    I saw this the other night.... I loved Alan's take on it :) Are people going to think you're thinner because you're wearing Horizontal stripes... because bigger people can't get away with them?? It went round in circles for a while, in typical QI fashion LOL :) I have to say I don't wear...

    how many syns in cadbury egg the big part

    Yup, just the egg, nowt else with it... The actual egg is supposed to be 100g.... (worked from a little bit of maths from the nutritional info.... the 'per half shell' amounts are half the 'per 100g' amounts....) BUT I just weighed my egg and it was 110g!! That's about 3 syns difference.... I...

    I have the injection too and find that my losses are slower when I do more Red days. I'm only just really starting to do some Greens... maybe it's just worth giving a go....

    For those who don't know...

    LOL I was jsut about to mention QI, apparently a 'fruit' is a berry if it has one or more seeds inside it. PLums, peaches, nectarines, avaocados are NOT berries, pears, apples, kiwis, bananas are berries.... none of the 'berry fruits actualluy are berries (with the exceotion of one - I think it...

    Why rush to lose the weight?

    Fantastic post jaylou :) Although I have set a target date, I won't be that bothered if I don't get there in time, I know I won't be far off, and it's based on what I have left to lose, and my previous losses. massive, massive (((hugs))) to you!! I was in the same boat. I still have PCOS, and...
