Have to agree on this. I never take what the Wii says as gospel. My SIL went on once one morning then went back on in the afternoon, she had lost nearly half a stone! (she was well chuffed, lol).

Mine would be seafood paella and then for afters jam roly poly with custard. Yummy. :D

I've stopped going to my class because I found that I was going in, getting weighed then sitting round for an hour waiting for the C to finish doing her thing chatting to the new joiners and everyone else, then all she would do was go round and read out everyone's losses/gains. What is this...

Hi hun, I normally have a banana about an hour beforehand. However, can I ask if you have done much exercise before this? The reason I ask is that if you have pushed yourself too hard too soon then you will get the shakes. Make sure you keep yourself hydrated as well. Hope that helps a...

I run 5k 3 or 4 times a week, have done for a while now. Can recommend eating a banana about an hour or so before you run, it gives you a slow release of energy when being digested. Also, don't forget to keep hydrated. :)

Hi, I'm Karen, I'm nearly 41 and live in Cornwall. I have been married for 14 years and have two kiddiewinks (12 and 7). I am also an AO in the Civil Service. I used to be in the Navy, but I now work for them as a civvy.

Just had mushy pea curry with left over chicken from Sunday, onions, mushrooms and boiled rice. Delish. May have a muller lite for pud. ;)

Hi, I get period type pains when I am ovulating; normally about 1.5 - 2 weeks after I have finished my last period, makes me feel really bloated as well. Just a thought. :)

Well, I am thoroughly peed off! I put on 0.5lb and I can't understand how. I have been 100% for 3 weeks, been to the gym doing serious training 5 times (3 mile runs, abs and weights) and I didn't touch my easter egg. My c looked at my food diary and said that it was excellent and couldn't...

Good book! I finished that one a few weeks ago.

M&S do great sports bras for 'long distance running'. I am a runner and have quite big boobs, these bras from M&S are the best ones I've found for keeping them in check. The Shock Absorber ones are good too, quite expensive though. Good luck, start slow and build yourself up. ;)

I'm with you there. We had a couple of short, sharp showers. Yesterday was bleedin horendous, it absolutely lashed it down all day. Good on you for the 800 calories, I'm very impressed. :D

Well done hun. Where in Cornwall are you? I live in Helston. Did you get blown away today? That wind is quite fierce isn't it?

How about the mushy pea curry? I used my leftover chicken for this last week. I'm sure you could throw your chopped up bacon in as well. ;)

Is it just me or does anyone else find the weekend's exceedingly hard to stay on plan? I have no problem during the week because I am in work, but come the weekend when I'm out and about with the family I really miss not tucking into tea and cake and then on Saturday night while watching a...

I bought some lighter choices ones from Tesco this morning, thinking that would be better. I checked the syns when I got home and one works out at 8.5 syns!!!! That's without any butter (flippen heck), may have to have just half of one :sigh:

I was going to say it was free as well as I always take the batter off deep fried fish - don't like it.

'Songs of the Humpback Whale' by Jodi Picoult, been really hard to get into, but I perservered as I love Jodi Picoult books, think I have them all! Also love Marian Keys and Sandra Brown. I love reading and buy loads and loads of books. I go into charity shops as they normally have great...

Just looked in my SW Bible and it says that reduced fat creme fraiche is 1.5 syns for 1 level tbsp, 2.5 for 28g.

2lb off for me tonight. Would have liked a bit more as I have worked so hard this week, but at least it's a loss.

Well done to all those who have been and weighed today already. I don't WI until 5pm so I am keeping my fingers crossed for a good loss.

This week I have tried mugshots, very nice. Quorn sausage - pass me the bucket! lol. Last night I made the mushy pea curry which was absolutely delicious. My OH doesn't like mushy peas so was very dubious when I gave it to him for tea but he wolfed it down. Oh yes, we also tried the Fish...

I would ideally like to get down to the same weight that I was before I had my children, which was about 10st 6lb. Would love to go lower and be a size 10 but don't know if that will happen, I've not been a size 10 since I was about 17! lol.

Happy Birthday to you, squashed tomatoes and stew...... (syn free, obviously!) I'm really impressed with your resistance, well done, don't think I would have done so well. Have a lovely birthday, I hope you get spoilt rotten.:flowers:

Hi Kiki, Sounds like you are doing brilliantly hun, you are sooooooo motivated and have good willpower. I had to turn down an afternoon socialising with people from work today, it was a drinking session and I'm not one for just going and having one or two drinks, or none at all, I love...

What a great idea with the easter egg. I had to do a big shop today in Tesco and I found it so hard to not buy all the delicious, naughty, sweet stuff that they had on special offer. Weekends are always bad for me, I find it doubly hard to resist things. Need to beef up my willpower for...

Hi Sara, Just want to pick your brains about your syns for the vodka. How are you measuring your vodkas? Just curious cos I really like a V&T but was put off a bit because the SW booklet says that 35ml of vodka is 4 syns. Keep going hun, some of your meals sound great. ;)

Hi Gem, I tend to have a banana about an hour before I go. Also, I try and keep hydrated beforehand as well as during and after. ;)

This is true, it's called the 'afterburn'. Your body is still churning away those calories for a good hour after you've finished your exercise. I go to the gym during my lunch break and always eat afterwards. Think I would pass out if I didn't.

That sounds delish! Will definately be trying this one. Thanks. x

I watched that as well, did make me drool a bit. So I had two Belgian chocs (3.5 syns each). I gave away the rest of my mother's day cake to to kids in their lunchboxes this morning. I have only had a tiny slice out of it, they have had the rest. I can see a wee shine on my halo. lol.

Hiya, I try to get to the gym a few times a week but on the days I can't go I either try to do the Wii Fit or just in the evening when I'm watching TV I do leg raises and sit ups. Sometimes I entertain the kids when I'm in the kitchen waiting for the kettle to boil, by doing some side leg...

I'm 5' 8" and have put a goal weight of 10st 6lb, which is the weight I was before I had my children. However, I did slim down to 10st for my wedding and I liked being that weight, I was a comfortable size 12, however, I couldn't maintain it as I was training twice a day and not eating alot...

Just wanted to say that I hope you feel better soon hun. My OH swears by gargling salt water! I don't know how he does it, I've tried it when I've had a sore throat and it makes me heave. lol. :wavey:

Oh, I know how you feel jo. Same here in my work as well. I "treat" myself to a ginger nut when I get home.

I am so chuffed, after being worried about it being totm, I have lost 4lb. I know it is only my first week and nearly everyone has a big loss at this time but at least it gives me some incentive that I am doing it right. :)

Congratulations to all on your weight losses. I have my first one this evening :o. It's my time of the month as well so here's hoping that I'll at least have a small loss, I have tried so hard this week and will be gutted if it's not worked. Fingers crossed and good luck to the rest have yet...

My OH made this on Sat night for the two of us. He added some chilli powder and served it with asparagus and new potatoes. It was absolutely delicious and we will definately be making it again. :D

Same thing for me every day - chocolate and biscuits! Got my first WI tomorrow, so am hoping against hope that all my good work this week will pay off.

Thank you ever so much Circes. I eat a yogurt every day, so that should cover it. Much appreciated. ;)

Hiya, Just been having a steady mooch through the threads on here as I am a newbie and came across this about not using up your HE A & B. I was a bit shocked as I always use my A because I like to have cereal for brekky and I always have 350ml of skimmed milk for my B, which I don't always...

Hi Poppyowner, I have read your diary from page 1 and want to say you have done brilliantly - a real inspiration. ;) I have just one question. When you say you've had a supermarket ready meal for example, how do you know if it is syn free or how many syns it contains? I have only just...

Thanks for your quick reply's. I just really need to sit down and plan some recipe's for the week. I normally have cereal and OJ for breakfast, a banana for snack at about 10ish in work. For lunch I have a yogurt, Go Ahead Bar and a couple of pieces of fruit. Then I come home from work...

Hi there. I went to my first SW session tonight and to be honest I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed. I was given the SW Food Optimising booklet and quickly told about the Extra Easy menu and how that would be the best. I was also weighed but didn't have any other measurements taken. I...
