Well done you x. Im having a crap time at the moment, just cant seem to get my head in the right place and am back to the gain loss gain loss cycle again. Just cant be bothered to be honest
crap week, had a 3lb gain this week, had a very stressful visit to my brothers at the weekend then went into a downward spiral. have had 2 chinese takeaways mcdonalds pizza crisps chocolate chips meatballs from ikea (yes, with the sauce and jam) ice cream and loads of bread.
My consultant...
Hey sue, how are you going? Only a few days til you go away, where are you off to? Hope its somewhere dry and warm.
I'm ok, not doing brilliant but not absolutely dreadful either, just stuck in a bit of a rut and fed up with it. Thinking about changing my target but not sure what to. Need to...
Hannah I know you can do it if you set your mind to it but most important, YOU know you can do it too. You have done it before and you can do it again. It's been a rubbish few weeks but put that behind you and start again. Change your group if you are not getting the support you need and you...
My consultant hardly ever runs to time because we spend so much time chatting. She wants to know what you did if you have a good loss, if you tried something new. If you have a gain she wants to know why you think it has happened, if group can help with ideas/suggestions for a loss the following...
I think the raffle is an absolute bargain. I have won a couple of recipe books and at xmas I won the supermarket syns book and the little syn free and low syn snack book. I was majorly chuffed because I had just ordered them that night. We have had some fab prizes including a recipe and all the...
:bighug:OMG. Go you:happy096: I'm sooo proud of you, CONGRATULATIONS :0clapper::superwoman:
One of us finally made it. The way things are going im never going to get to target, I just cant get my act together at the moment. Haven't updated my stats for a while. I now need 4.5lbs for my 1st...
Came across this while doing a bit of surfing. Sad to say I never did find the rings, OH still insists almost a yeaar later that he didn't touch them so I have had to accept that they are gone forever :cry:
Well this is a bit strange.
Hannah all of your goals are totally achievable if yo just focus. A lady from my group goes to boot camp, is having really good weekly loses and is really enjoying it.
Im supposed to be going to boxercise but I fell on Friday when I was running to catch a bus and...
Sue the pancakes are a hex b. Mix a b portion of porridge oats with yogurt (i used a toffee mullerlight) and leave in fridge overnight. Mix well with 2 eggs & the recipie said add sweetner but I didn't & found it sweet enough. You then fry them like normal pancakes. I thought the were delicious...
Must try with some herbs. Tried a bit of creme fraiche but made it too runny for me. Would love to make it a regular thing but hubby hates fish so will be an occasional treat
I love the all in one cook book, well worth the money. I try at least 1-2 new recipies from it every week. Beef and red pepper stew is amazing (and I dont like peppers!!)
Lost 5lbs tonight:D
You sound very relaxed Sue, thats good. Have an amazing st Patricks day.
Hannah, stay focused. don't let the stone award throw you, it is just anohter number, focus on eating healthily and exercise and you will be fine x
Well done you. Have found it fairly easy to stay on track (apart from yesterday when I gave into stress) & today I'm feeling happy about things. Cereal & fruit for breakfast, eggs for lunch, soup for dinner today.
Hope you both gave a good week
Lol if I had seen that an hour ago I would have told you where to shove it. Now I agree. Why was your day so bad?
My 1.5lb gain really floored me for a bit as there is no explanation for it. I have calmed down now and as my my pointed out there is a lot of sugar in grapes & I have eaten 2...
Well done Hannah, fingers crossed for another good week. I'm not sure what I'm eating today. Got loads in fridge so not an issue for going off plan, just don't know what I fancy eating yet.
That must be so frustrating sue. But if you only lose half pound per week you will be at target in another 3 weeks.
Do you keep a food diary? Why don't you look back & see what you ate in the weeks you had a great loss. Try a superfree week, speed week, fish week, soup week?
Easy for me to say...
Made beef cannelloni for dinner. Filling the tubes was a bit of a pain but it tasted delicious, nice to have something that didn't include quark as i think the stuff is vile. Had a huge portion of it with a mixed salad which was lovely. Lunch was ham sandwich with a banana & breakfast was choc...
Went out for late breakfast today to the pub. Had 2 poached eggs & beans toast (6 syns) coffee with sugar (2 syns). Early dinner was spaghetti carbonara (without bacon) which was 1hex a for parmesan cheese. Milk was other hex a. Havent had any hex b's today
Post your diary Hannah and I will...
How is everyone's day going? I'm not all that hungry today, still feeling a bit yuk but trying to eat anyway. Breakfast was 15g cheerios with natural yogurt (3 syns) no fruit as I need to go shopping. Lunch was pasta n sauce carbonara (1 syn) again no superfree as I need to shop & had to force...
Hello hello hello, I'm back. We have moved house so not had internet access & had to send my phone away for an upgrade on software so couldn't even get online that way it has been murder.
I lost 4.5lbs this week, that was after a 2lb gain the week before. My eating has been all over the place...

Morning. What do you have planned for the weekend? Today I think will be a green day, I tend to follow mostly extra easy with a few green days when I feel really hungry. Which plan do you follow? I bought the new one pot cookbook so I'm hoping to try one or two new recipies every week. Do you...
How are things going this week? I lost 2lbs last night so very happy. Going to plan menu for this week then go shopping this afternoon. Hoping to try at least 2 new recipies. What plans do you have for the weekend? We will be packing more boxes & moving stuff in the car in the hope we can...
Snap. I also lost 2lbs and am very pleased. Only need another 3.5lbs for my 1st stone but that will take a few weeks as my average loss is 1lb per week. Do you have any mini targets set for yourself? I would like my stone award by end of February
Hey Carol, I weigh on a thursday night and am on here quite a bit. What time do you weigh in at? I'm 7.30 and can't wait as i'm starving tonight. Fingers crossed for you tonight, you are doing well so far
If it's wrong then I deserve a slap because after licking the knife I then stole my 4yr olds digestive biscuit which I had slathered in it even though I already had ll my syns for today. And you know what??? I couldn't care less!
TODAY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just bought some from waitrose and it is bloody gorgeous (scuse my language, im very excited):D
86 cals per 30g and worth every single calorie although I have to say 30g is way too much for me:confused:.
get out there and BUY BUY BUY:p
Lol Shirleen. I LOVED those cut out dolls, I used to keep them in a shoe box and carefully added new ones every week and yes it was Bunty. Wonder if they still do them. Does Bunty still exist? I also used to get the Mandy and my Mum bought me the annual for xmas about 2 yrs ago as a joke.
If you have spicy chicken wings from the chinese takeaway but remove the batter and skin does that make them free or do you still have to syn them? Just wondered as I know that if you remove the batter from a fish supper then the fish is free and wondered if the same rule applies?
No don't have numbers mixed up. I have had nothing but problems with the phone since I got it 15moths ago. I often put people on hold & dial other numbers without even touching the phone. I hate it and cant wait to get rid of it when my contract is up.
If you are having fun then where is the...
This is so weird. After reading this thread I got a text message from a friend that contained info that I had passed onto only 1 other person. These people do not no each other and have no common friends. When I asked how she knee what was in the text she sent me a copy of the exact text I sent...
Flip. That's horrendous. Be a fairly hefty gain for me tonight. Really need to get my head in the right place after last few weeks. Oh well if I gain at least I know why
Ooh congrats sue, thats great news well done you. As for weigh in its really hard when you only have a few pounds to lose.
Yes I'm looking forward to the photos now I know what I'm wearing. Hoping they look good, I look huge in photos from cj's party as they were all taken from the side :-( ...
Sorry, been totally manic this weekend with CJ's birthday party. I was really good there and only ate some grapes and banana, didnt so much as lick the icicng of the birthday cake:p
Food has been good all weekend except yesterday when we went out for breakfast and I had a full Scottish which...
Just on a bit if a downer on myself right now. We are having family photos done on 4th Feb for mums birthday so i would like to lose another 5lbs for that & my stone award for end of Feb. I will try to focus on that but everytime I stop thinking about you know what i get slapped in the face with...
Lol, Glad someone is coz I'm not! Well done on lunch, didn't think that would be so low. I have just taken the wee one for a walk In the peeing rain. It had just started to snow, I'm not happy. Will let u know how I get on tonight
That sounds lovely, thanks. Even have all ingredients on house too. Will give it a go on Monday.
Sue, I agree with Hannah. Unless you are planning to stop going to class altogether you are calling target when you still want to lose weight so will have to keep paying to attend class. You could...
Sorry, been a manic few days and havent been on line at all.
I lost 2lbs tonight so very happy with that:D considering I have had 2 birthdays to deal with this week.
Am wanting to try something new so if you have any nice recipies to try? No mushrooms though, can't stand the things. Made a...

I gained 1.5lbs last week but so totally deserved it. Really struggling to get my in head the right place at the moment.

Hi
I did SW from home for almost 2 years. When I weighed myself in October I realised I was almost exactly the same weight as I was 2yrs previously:confused:. I had gone through a cycle of having a decent loss then falling off the wagon for weeks after a celebration & putting it all back on...
30 syns & counting. I have had a horrendous day, told my boss I wouldn't look after one of the boys if his behaviour didn't improve dramatically. Still haven't had dinner, just off to WI now
I can do fb or email on my phone. I will also get notifications on my phone if there is a post on this thread and i can usually answer within a few minutes if you are in desperate need:)
Well done resisting temptation, i'm very proud of you! Can't have been easy when everyone else was tucking in.
Love your new boots, I have a bit of a boot fettish, currently have 4 pairs on the go lol (got a bag fettish too but that is way too serious to talk about lol).
Just about to make...
Finding it easier with class, they also have a Facebook page which is great as you get support from most of the group through the week too. Mum has joined the class too so absolutely no cheating allowed. Filling a food diary for myself now, bought a 2012 dsy to page diary & just write everything...
Well done you for going to class regardless. That is a fairly good gain for this time of year (by that I mean its not bad at all).
I tried a red day yesterday are oh boy was I hungry. Ended up eating about 33 syns overall. Not good, lowest syns this week are 16 wo expecting a big gain tomorrow...
Welcome back. :bighug:I was starting to go a bit loopy talking to myself. :D
Im doing not too badly, managed to maintain over xmas which I was extremely pleased about. Not having the best week this week though so god knows what the scales will say on Thursday. Think I might go back to using...
lol I have been known to change it in other peoples houses and TELL them I have done it, it drives me demented if it's not done my way.:o
Also with BB on the cutlery thing in the drainer and in the drawer they have to be laid out knives forks spoons:p
Welcome joanne
Sooo, how much damage was dine yesterday? I allowed myself 100 syns for the day (felt it was better than not counting at all). Think I went over that by about 15syns. Straight back on plan this morning though. Got 2nd xmas lunch at mums today but she has swapped traditional lunch...
He has his moments Sue. I moan about him constantly but yesterday reminded me (again) of why I married him. He pretty much gave up the majority of his xmas for my family and that is worth more than anything money can buy.
Hope you enjoyed your choccies, your OH had shown that it is easy to...
Lol, I got my son frustration and scrabble this year, can't wait to play them. We always had a boardgame for xmas when we were kids.
My fave was probably last year. My son was almost 3 and santa gave him a massive wooden trainset. He was soooo excited and I can still pictire his reaction in my...
Thanks Hannah, she is on the mend thankfully but it was all a bit scary last week. I think myself extremely lucky that at the age of 40 I still have my wonderful grandmother and hope to have her for a long time to come yet. She is the best!!!
I didn't have any presents from my husband to open:cry:. What he did do for me though was drive to my parents and bring them to visit for an hour, then drove my mum to hospital to pick up my nana so that she could spend a couple of hours at home (she has a chest infection and influenza b so is...
Ooooh I love christmas movies. Gotta watchthe following:
Santa Claus the movie
It's A Wonderful Life
Miracle on 34th Street
Bad Santa
Mary Poppins (not xmas without it in my house)
A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart one is OHs fave).
Am sure there are more....
+1.5 for me. Totally expected, choc, fairy cakes, crisps, gingerbread lattes, panninis & crisps are not the way to have a loss. Will now be happy just to maintain between now & January. Well done all you losers
Can't believe I lost 2.5lbs after the week I have had. I actually told my C she had to be kidding when she said I had lost as I was expecting approx 3lb gain.
Christmas night out was superb I really enjoyed it. Food was ok considering and I didnt have too much to drink. Might try to post a...

1lb off so am very happy with that. would love to get my half stone next week and need 4lbs over next 3 weeks to hit my xmas target. Doable if i'm supergood this week after all the partying
Well done you, you will get target for xmas for sure. I wrote a big post about you changing target but didn't send :-(.
I have WI in 3hrs and have no idea how I have done. I need 2lbs for my half stone but don't think I will get it. So long as I don't gain I will
be happy as I have an awful...
Know what you mean. I have lost 5lbs in 3 weeks and was thrilled with it too. Then my mum had her 1st WI & lost 7lbs in the 1st week. Why couldn't I inherit that sort of thing instead of the big boobs and baggy eyes?
Everyone's different and we all lose at different rates. I'm still delighted...
Hi Sarah.
Welcome to minimins, you have found an amazingly supportive forum. Feel free to ask anything no matter how silly you think it is. There is usually someone who can help.
Hope your 1st week has gone really well and you have a good loss tomorrow. Anything you need help with, just ask
I'm a fulltime mum and part time nanny. I always wanted to work with kids, did my NNEB straight out of school at 17 and have been nannying since I was 19. I love my job (mostly) but it is a dead end job and not sure what I will do once the wee one starts nursery in 2013. Not got experience in...
How has your week been? Im so hungry all the time just now. Made a huge pot of broth soup at lunch time and I have butter chicken marinading in the fridge to cook tomorrow. Also have big bowl of spaghetti to use up. Also made a nutloaf for other half and decided to have a taste. Was lovely but...
Try mixing it with a spoonful of yogurt. Only thing (as someone else said) with mixing it with food or drink is you do have to make sure they take every last drip of whatever it is mixed with so keep the amount small. Hope he is on the mend
Oops, missed a few days on here. WI on Thursday night was -0.5lbs. Not a great loss but let's be honest I haven't stuck to plan all that well for the last few days so should be greatful that there is any loss at all:sigh:.
Bryan Adams concert in Glasgow yesterday so ate out all day and it...
How do i use the syns calculator to find out the syns of a restaurant/ I typed name of restaurant ( filling station) and it came up blank. I tried using everyday words to find the food i ate but no luck. Not sure how to use the site properly. Have even tried to fin nutrional values on the...
Oh god I have a sore throat and can hardly speak. I have sore feet and legs from dancing and my arms ache from being held up in the air for so long.
Concert was AMAZING. No support act just 2hrs & 17 minutes of Bryan Adams. Best concert ever. Don't know how ge does it every night, I'm knackered...
Oh hun don't be disheartened. We all have unexplained gains at times. Could be lots of reasons for it. If you think its potatoes you are doing the right thing cutting them out. For me its bread. I can eat nothing but pasta & potatoes and I'm fine but as soon as I start on bread I always gain...
Haven't kept food diary up to date this week. What have I done differently? Absolutely no exercise, half tub of pringles last night 6 slices of toast today hardly any superfree over last 3 days as I ran out and didnt have any money to restock. Had loads of carbs yesterday & today.
Tomorrow I'm...
Lol Hannah. I had a pasta n sauce instead followed by potato soup. I was Sooooo hungry yesterday.
My mum has decided to go back to SW after a year on WW so she is going to go to class with me. Hopefully that will give me a boost. Will let you know how I get on
Try Bacon risotto or egg fried rice for tea. Yum. Omelettes & chips. I having jacket potatoes with cheese & coleslaw & salad. Really looking forward to it. Got major munchies just now & sitting in house with big tin celebrations chocolates pringles and nachos. Might have to Ho out early to pick...
Well done both of you. That's a great loss Hannah, keep it up. sts is good after a weekend away sue. You just need 1.5lbs pet week for xmas Target. Keep up the good work ladies.
I look forward to class but never feel very confident about weightloss. Think its just I don't want to be...
Hi Catt, welcome:)
If you do a search there will probably be a list of basic essentials to get you started. Read through all the info on here for newbies, that was a big help to me and i'm sure there will be something online to help you too. Which plan do you intend to follow? If EE I would...

With an attitude like that the women really don't know what they are missing. If I wasn't married (to someone who doesn't think like you at all) or lived so far away.........
Some lucky lady will realise what a catch you are!
Thanks Helen. I could have said no but she first know I'm following SW & had gone to so much trouble to prepare it as a surprise. I had thought I was getting toast coffee and fruit. Oh well, only need to cut back 9 syns over a 6 day period do shouldn't be too difficult.

Totally agree. When shop assistant told me I think I said she was taking the p**s and were 1yr olds supposed to just freeze?
I'm used to the Darwinian comments as I hear that exact phrase from OH on a regular basis lol.
Congrats on the birth of your DD and well done getting back to SW.
Yes you can still eat as much free food as you like between meals but it is recommended that you make superfree your first choice for snacks whenever possible.
Good luck with your weight loss
My son will be 4 in January. He goes into bed about 7.15/7.30 with stories and lights are out by 8pm at latest. He doesnt always fall asleep straight away but most nights he is asleep by 8. He is up anytime from 6am onwards (obviously the hospital gave me the wrong child).
I tend to go to bed...
I was told that they dont make scarves for 1yr olds. Health and safety in case they strangle themselves. sainsburys had some cute sets that werent too horrendously expensive
Im not saying they are lying but IMO there is no way Dawn French was a size 20 and Without being rude about it I am the same height as Fern Britton and I did not look that big when I was a size 16. Is it just me or do they both look a lot older now that they have lost weight? I think out of them...
Some of my fave casseroles are
Beef & veg: brown some stewing steak, add any veg you like ( i tend to use carrot onion potatao and turnip then few peas towards end of cooking but im not a big veg fan) add tin chopped tomatoes, bit of beef stock (about 150ml) and cook in low oven (sorry i use...
I'm happy with that as it has been a pretty awful week. I made a menu plan but shouldn't have wasted my time as I don't think I actually had a single meal off of it. This week really does have to be better. Am looking for a 2.5lb loss this week to get my half stone award.
How is your week going?
soup, casseroles where you put everything in the pot, curry (cook rice at same time and freeze too), shepherds pie. Do you have a slow cooker? I prepare all veg the night before, throw in meat in the morning and turn on as I walk out the door. Dinner ready and waiting to be served as soon as you...

A loss is a loss Hannah. Biscuits sound nice, might try making them with cj.
I have been using all of my syns this week so can't forgive extra 12. Just realised that I only used 2 syns yesterday. So that sorts out xtra 12. Had weetabix for breakfast noodles for lunch and spag bol for tea. Had...

...... you decide to take 10mins over a cup of tea to decide if the advent calendar you will use once a year is worth £25. After deciding it is because it is beautiful and the pockets tell the story of the nativity you get back to the shop to find out it was a one off and some other sod bought...

Thanks Hannah. I was totall expecting maybe a lb off or even sts coz of getting my period. Was so chuffed. Trying hard not to repeat meals in the week if I can but when I went over the menu plan it was all soup pasta and jacket potatoes so thanks for the ideas. Need to get some old recipies out...
:eek: goodness I thought I ate a lot. I can have maybe 6-8 per day (I eat them in 2's never a single one or it feels wrong:confused:). They are so sweet at this time of year as well that it's my first choice over everything else.:)
:happy036:I lost 3lbs. Am delighted with that and hoping for another 3lbs next week.
Hannah, that is a bugger of a menu. Personally i would go for soup or salmon (no dressing) to start followed by either turkey (it is xmas after all) or sea bass. Stay away from the suet pudding!!!! For dessert...

It's weigh in tonight and I'm nervous. Got my period this morning so not expecting much of a loss. Just as long as I don't have a gain I will try to be happy. Good luck everyone
Thanks for getting back to me. I took the phone into the shop yesterday & they said it will have to be sent off to be synced as there is a problem with the phone. Not a happy bunny.

Dear car.
Why oh why did you have to choose this frosty morning to allow your heating system to pack up? I appreciate you leaving me heating on setting 4 I really do but it is so noisy the kids kept crying so I had to drive with the window open to prevent the windscreen misting up. 2hrs later I...
Hello ladies, hope you have had a great weekend.
I have eaten out every day since joining class which isnt the best way to start but i think I have made sensible choices (god, I hope I have). Had soup for lunch both days then a plain omlette (no butter or oil) for breakfast at the pub but I...

red pepper
carrot
onion
cabbage
(stir fry for tea;))
Thank you Quins, i'm hoping that going to class will keep me on the straight and narrow. I find I do much better if I keep a food diary, helps when I have a gain to see where I have gone wrong or gives an idea of what has given me a good loss. Do you keep a food diary? I would highly recommend...

Dearest darling husband.
BOG OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE!
I'm not stupid, I know slimming world Is a business that wants to make money, every business does. I am not spending a massive amount of money on classes every week, unlike your wine purchases, my class costs less than £5 per week...
My other half is a complete pain in the ass. I was just treated to a 10min rant about how SW is only after my money, the group/company doesn't care if I lose weight and all I need to do is listen to him, drop eating so much and get off my fat arse. I'm so bloody mad. Do I moan about the amount...
.... that is having problems accessing the syns calculator (or any other part of the website) from my android phone (HTC wildfire). Everything freezes or I get booted off the website and back to my homepage. It's a complete pain in the backside when i'm shopping:mad:
God Sue your dinner sounds lovely. Im not long home and i'm starving coz I had dinner so early. Just had an alpen light but didnt even touch the sides lol. Dont like to eat too close to bedtime though.
Well I paid for a 12 week countdown with one week off at end of november as im working late...
That totally makes sense and my friend was also told this by her nutritionalist but unfortunately she couldn't stomach the rich diet and it made her vomit everytime she ate something high in fat it ended up making things worse.
Her thinking is that if she had to weigh every week at class she...
That's not too bad a gain Hannah and with the exercise you will soon get rid of it.
Class starts at 7.30 and its a 5-10min drive. Only 3 miles so walkable on nice nights if Ewan puts cj to bed. Just need to phone later to make sure its on as its a brand new group, only started last week.
Have...
Thanks, not what she wants to hear but saves her a wasted trip to class. She does see a nutrionalist but only every 6 months and was hoping that attending a class to eventually maintain her weight would help and encourage her in the way it does all of us struggling to lose. Maybe she can try it...
Ok the situation is a bit different to most people wanting to join class.
My friend is most definitely not overweight. If anything she is underweight. She was extremely ill last year and had a feeding tube for quite a few months as she was unable to eat at all. The tube has been out for a year...
Thank-you. Have no idea why I'm so nervous. I have spent my while adult life walking into church halls full of strangers, sitting down amongst them and starting a conversation.
So if everything starts from weigh in on Thursday does that mean I can eat whatever I want til then?? (only kidding)...
Excuse my french but bugger bugger bugger. Weighed myself yesterday and STS. Have now realised that when I go to join the class I will be weighing in the evening after dinner when I usually weigh in the morning as soon as I get out of bed while wearing just a big t-shirt. Im gonna have a massive...
WOW. You look amazing! That is a gorgeous dress & you look beautiful.
I didn't expect support from him as I know how he feels about slimming clubs. He thinks all I have to do is eat less & exercise more. If only it was that easy
Thank you, i knew you would understand. When I said to OH that I was going to join he went mad. Waste of money, only you can do something about it, give me the money and I will weigh you, going to a club will not help you lose weight........ the list is endless. I need him to look after CJ for...
Am finally biting the bullet and going to join a class. A new class is starting about 10 min drive from me on a Thursday night at 7.30. Mum gave me a leaflet today and for once the class is on at a time I can manage. I feel really nervous about this but as you both know I have really struggled...
Men just don't think before they open their mouths sometimes. Well done on the exercise.
My week has been ok. Having a lazy week as I'm on hols do eating out of the freezer which is full of healthyish food. My party is on 3rd Dec so I have 5 weeks and would be happy with 7lbs off.
Im in the...
Dear timewasters from Gumtree & netmums.
I wanted to say thank you soooooo much for allowing me to sit in my house for hours on end while waiting for you all to come and collect the stuff you said you were oh so desperate to buy from me. I really don't mind wasting my holidays sitting in the...
Well done on starting your weight loss journey and loads of luck. Taking it small steps at a time is a great idea, makes the idea of it so much more manageable I think. Look forward to following your progress
How was the wedding? Hope you had a great day.
I had another gain this week think another 1.5lbs (havent updated stats so bit confused). Am hoping to sort this out this week.
Bought a beautiful dress for my xmas ball. Had to get the 14 to fit my bust but its a VERY close fitting dress so I...
I like your consultant!
Yes I still weigh in on a Saturday. Mid afternoons are difficult. I want choc and biscuits as a bit of a sugar boost. Am just so tired at the moment. Off work next week which is great but makes this week feel even longer.
Problem with dress is a 12 would be too tight...
Well done, that's a really good loss. You can get to Target by xmas if you keep at it.
I'm feeling very sorry for myself today. Having s green day so had 4 choc weetabix to satisfy choc craving (didn't work) having pasta with vegetable sauce for lunch then jacket potato with cheese & beans for...
Put on 1.5lbs but am having the period from hell, can't fasten any of my trousers and feel so bloated & uncomfortable.
Eating more but its a struggle, just not interested... and now I have a cold so even less interested.
Good luck tonight, hope you have a good loss. How do you feel your week...
I am going to buy one if those daytime/nightime clocks that light up with a sun at the time you set the alarm for. Unfortunately we live in a flat so no downstairs for me to hide. Hubby is a lazy sod and claims that our son just cries if he tries to settle him (true but a cop out, he would soon...
Dear son.
I love you more than life but not more than sleep. Please stay in your own bed tonight and sleep ALL night. I do not want a visit at 12.33am, a call out at 2.47am, to be informed at 3.22am that you have lost your pillow or at 4.17am that your nappy has leaked and your bed is wet.
It...
Welcome back Hannah, we have missed you too!
Will try to eat more but not really interested. I spent all dsy Sunday cooking. I have soup curry casserole bolognese & chicken all waiting to be eaten, I just don't want it. Having chow main from Chinese tonight so hoping it will re-ignite my...
Well done sue, that's really good. You are doing brilliantly at the moment.
I'm having a bit of a hit & miss week. Am eating sensibly but not eating much,just not that hungry. Had a snack at 2pm yesterday & haven't eaten since then. Was at a school meeting last night til 8.30 then had to take...
