Hello all I haven't updated as i have been in hospital since 6am Friday (apart from coming home to sleep). My 87 year old granddad went into hospital with a UTI last Saturday and his kidney's have suddenly started failing so he is dying. All of the family got called in Friday morning. We are...

Good luck with it Betty and do keep us updated. I have always had success with it and i have so far this time (although i was showing an unexplained gain this morning!). It's fab for helping me to stay on track x

Hey Erin, looking good, hope you enjoyed your lunch in x

1800 is great for a meal out and food for the rest of the day!! Mine would be double that! There's no way you would gain fat, you've probably eaten at maintenance level, like you said though it may be best to dodge the scales for a day or two to let your fluid levels sort themselves out. Well...

I usually buy the Big Issue whenever i pop into M&S (a guy stands outside), and let him keep whatever change. Breaks my heart thinking about homeless people, especially at Christmas time.

Brilliant advice above...and congratulations! Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy xxx

Fantastic Kirsty. Not sure if you remember me, but whether you do or don't...hello! :)

Well done for staying on track; i am dreading a disappointing WI, i know i will struggle to keep away the negative thoughts and not binge! You are doing great though, keep at it and i bet you get a decent loss next WI.

Good luck, hope your managing to stay on track x

Hi dd2, hope you don't mind me joining in your diary but you sound really disheartened. I would definitely go to SW if you get the vouchers, it's fab and does work, maybe that's the fresh start that you need (CC was my fresh start after faffing with SW!). Have you tried increasing the calories...

Hi Jo Your food sounds so delicious and your doing really well on the exercise front...it makes me feel great hope it's doing the same for you! x

Google 'TDEE Calculator', pop in your height and weight and your activity levels (i wouldn't include proper exercise in this). I have a desk job so mine was set as sedentary. When you have the number multiply it by 7...this gives you your total calories for the week to maintain your weight...

Hi Sharon, sorry to hear your feeling a bit down. Keep persevering because your proof that it works and you will feel it soon enough x

Oh yum yum, they are gorgeous! My favourite is hazlenut though. I don't really like coconut anyway so didn't try that one, and the mint one was rubbish even though i love anything minty usually!

I would love to be able to give up chocolate but i love it so much, i actually enjoy eating it so i'm not sure if i want too give it up completely. I probably would benefit from cutting down a bit though. I might try to have 2 chocolate free days a week so start off, eventually working up to 4...

Hey Lauren, that's what i've been doing too. I eat at maintenance for 3 days (just under 1900 now), then at 1450 calories for the other 4 days. It workes really well for me and looking forward to the high calorie days really keep me on track.

Thanks all, i'm really chuffed and began today on a high...long may it continue!

Well done Gabbie! I lost 2.75lbs so now 11st 9.

Just realised that i posted in the wrong thread :o

Hey Kirsty, i lost 2.75lbs, so my numbers worked!...A little better than expected actually! Going to keep them the same for the next week and fingers crossed i can whip another 1lb off. If not then i will lower them slightly.

Hi, i don't add Frylight in at all...naughty me ;) I don't use it every day and it's 3 or 4 squirts when i do. I need to try to not get too obsessive (not that you are if you count it but i am a perfectionist at heart and if i got obsessive about this it wouldn't stop at frylight, i would be...

I always do a low week at the start of a plan; just to get rid of the bloat and water weight. I don't think i have every gained on the second week with any weight loss plan, but then as calories have increased of course the loss is smaller. I think at the worst you would get a sts, then a good...

Looks really good Kirsty! I will let you know if my numbers worked tomorrow when i have weighed in! Keep us posted on yours xx

Hi, i worked my maintenance calories (TDEE - Sedentary exercise level) out to be 1900 calories a day. I want to lose 1lb per week. So 7 days x 1900 calories = 13300 calories a week to maintain. I create a deficit of 1750 calories (to lose 1/2 a lb), leaving me with 11550 for the week. Works...

Why don't you get a heart rate monitor? The ones with the watch and chest strap, they are way more accurate than the reading on the machine itself. They sound an alarm when you get in the fat burning zone and i love challenging myself to get a higher heart rate the next time i do it, and a...

Hi Erin, well done with the no scale hopping and you look gorgeous in your pics, you have curves in all the right places!

Hi, just want to say how delicious your food sounds for the day! And well done for staying off the scales, i'm thinking of trying a 21 day no scale challenge from Saturday until the 1st March. How lovely would it be to see a 3lb loss rather than 1lb at a time.

Being a binge eater is awful...i have to fight the urge everyday. Even when it's a day that i'm eating lots of food i still get the urge. It's nice to hear i'm not alone x

Hi there, Can't wait to see your food diary, hope it gives me lots of ideas! I too wish i could weigh once a fortnight, once a month would be better in fact seeing as i'm only aiming for 1lb a week. Good luck with your weight loss xx

Hey, yeah i should probably eat more wholesome foods, things that would actually fill me up! I was less hungry on my 1200 cal days because it was 'good' food. Today has been better, i haven't been too hungry so will just keep at it and hope yesterday was a one off. I will eventually work on...

Hi Erin All sounds so yummy and the important thing is that you enjoyed it. Think about it though, you have probably burned a good few calories with that exercise so have really only had about 1000 calories i reckon. This is actually really low and i would definitely still have supper if i...

Hi Lauren, i can really reason with you, i am a binge eater too and have also been heartbroken. My partner left me as i got pregnant with my second daughter (she has just turned 3!)...and subsequently decided he could no longer see them once he got his new girlfriend pregnant. It felt like the...

As long as we continue to lose weight i suppose that's all that matters. I can focus more on fruit and veg once i am out of my bingeing habit good and proper...one step at a time.

Hello :) You definitely have your 5 a day in there! When on SW i get about 6 or 7 portions a day in, but even though i love them i find myself not eating as many when CC :o Must make more of an effort... Hope you have had a nice day x

Hi Erin Thanks for stopping by. Mugshots are quite bland i find so i add hot and spicy chicken breast; it's very filling and warming. They are pretty processed, but we have no microwave at work so i am limited in what i can take aside from the usual sandwiches.

Aside from my food, i will also be noting what and how much i am drinking (always water or peppermint tea/chamomile tea), what exercise i have done and how many calories burnt, and to stop me using all my calories on sweet treats, how many of my 5 a day i am getting. Saturday 26th: B - Apple -...

Hi all Weighed in at 12st 2lbs on Saturday, hoping to be 11st 12lbs on Friday 1st Feb which will leave me with 19lbs to lose to reach my goal of 10st 7lbs. I'm aiming for 1lb a week and hope to be at my goal sometime in June. I definitely believe that i can lose this 4lbs in my first week as...

EE day here: A - 40g low fat cheese B - 2x Wholemeal bread

I love them, wish they would do more flavours.

100g dry weight is a portion size according to the packet's i use so i say that's fine. I find that's just the right amount. Saying that when i do red days and have 70g dry weight i actually find that this is enough. I just love the stuff though so do have 100g on EE days.

Welcome to Mini's and good luck!

I aim to use all 15; most of them are for chocolate.

I just love how great it makes me feel, and i really enjoy and appreciate my food much more when on plan.

I'm in! I've been 100% for the first 3 days, so 3/31 for me. Hoping to get to 11st 2 in Jan and my 1.5st award...i have 9lbs to go.

Prepare something the night before so you won't have to pop to a supermarket for lunch. Sandwiches, mugshots, pasta/rice salad, fritatta etc. And honestly it wouldn't do you any harm to have a baked potato everyday if you fancied it :)

Welcome back Liz...just pick up where you left off. You will be feeling superdooper again in no time. You know it works! xx

I had gammon, HEXB potato wedges, fried egg and fried red pepper, mushrooms and red onion (it's a red day today).

Had official 'after all of the festivities' WI tonight and have lost 1lb...fantastic seeing as i've been off plan quite a bit since Christmas. So that's 9lbs to go in 4 WI's. Good luck everyone xxx *punk*~*star** - 11 (0lbs lost 11lb to go) Abbysmom - 7lb (0lbs lost 7lb to go) Angwass - 5lb...

Good luck with SW, keep thinking of why you want to do this and it will push you through the hard times. If you want to blast some fat from your stomach area i found that loads of cardio helps, get power walking for example and get your heart rate up. Even if your doing ab work it won't show...

Last week i had to do my workout on Weds morning as i was too rough to do it on the Sunday (i was playing catch up with them for the rest of the week!). I usually drink 1.5l water before WI (i stop drinking by 1:30pm though so there's no water in my stomach by WI), i drank 1l during my workout...

Mmm chocolate milk! Does the Alpro one actually taste of hazelnuts then?

We're having baked bean lasagne with salad, never tried it before hope it's nice!

Yep i would go with Davina to begin with, the Body Buff one is great, i have a few of hers though. 30ds is a bit of an inbetweeny and you will be able to do it no problem after a few weeks of Davina, the Ministry of Sound one are good too if you like a bit if dance music and have some sort of...

I eat about 100 syns a week (had a bit more last week as i flexi synned last Sat) and 90% of that is on chocolate, i have lost 15lbs in 6 weeks so i don't think it's held me back in any way!

Hi, thanks for stopping by! The chicken in Mugshots is delicious, i can't eat them on their own i find them too bland. Turbofire is a step up from 30DS i think, i did 30DS and lost 7lbs and 5.5" without making any major changes to my diet but you do a lot of weight bearing on your wrists and...

Hahaha love your tact ladies...i have to say i agree with you though. Just follow the plan as much as you can i guess! I'm sure you can sneak some fruit with you and fill up on it before meals so you eat less.

It is 8 syns for a chicken kebab if i remember right, presuming this if for the pitta.

Just carry on as normal, cut back on syns slightly if you can bare it but drink tons of water it will get rid of any bloat and flush the crap out quicker.

Ready cooked chicken with chips and salad.

Hi Amy Looking forward to reading your diary, i had not long had a baby at my graduation and i remember feeling so self conscious when i was up on stage collecting my certificate :( I spent weeks trying to find an outfit to disguise my size, i feel like it ruined the day looking back now...

Hi and welcome :) Nothing wrong with joining up on your own, i think most of us did! I'm sure you will make a few new friends along your journey. Post a food diary and people will help you with whatever your confused with x

I don't allocate a food budget, but i do make a meal plan and a list of what i need before i go...i'm not like my mum and sister who throw loads away and have cupboard full of peas etc but still buy them every week lol. It just happens to be costing around the same figure most weeks. People...

Good for you and long may it continue :D I think the first 3 days are hardest, i call it the 3 day hump. Once you have done that your stomach should start getting used to less and the withdrawel symptoms should be gone! Once the first 3 weeks are done it got so much easier for me.

Aiming for 1.5lbs a week, 4 WI's in Nov for me so that's 6lbs total...hoping for my club 10 next month (3lbs to go), silver body magic award (2 weeks to go) and 1.5st award (6lbs to go) :D Exciting stuff! Good luck to all of us! ETA: I still have another October WI left yet (on Halloween)...

I spend about £60-£70 a week for me, my 6 year old and my (almost) 3 year old. I shop at Asda but pop into Home Bargains for kitchen rolls and other bits and bobs every 3 weeks or so and probably spend another £15.

Hi i don't have much to to reply, but i have read the Fairburn book only a few weeks ago, it's fab...i have a few that deal with binge eating. I have now gone 6 weeks without one myself and my body is thanking me for it so much. I'll dig through my books and pop back in here tomorrow xxx

Hi all Fully expect this thread to get moved to eating out so sorry to mods for posting it here but i am off out in an hour and need a quick response! Getting chinese after WI, i am a complete chinese novice and have been told to start with a chow mein as most people like this, which i hear is...

Going to cinema with my daughters to watch Frankenweenie tomorrow so stealing your lunchbox idea...thanks :)

I hope to get to 10st 10lbs by Christmas which leaves me with 14lbs to lose in 9 WI's, averaging about 1.5lbs a week...however, i am not expecting a loss tomorrow at all so whether i end up achieving it or not is another matter, going to try to get as close to it as possible though. I plan to...

Eurgh tea was disgusting! I bought the forzen diced beef from Asda trying to save money, it said to slow cook for 2.5hrs, it was in for 3.5 hrs but was still so chewy and full of fat. I ate the broccoli and carrots and a few mushrooms then just made some supernoodles quickly as i was hungry...

Day 35 for me :D

I am off work too, trying to stick to what i would usually eat when at work. Havn't done much today but plan to take the kids on a few walks, cinema etc. Walking is free too! De-clutter the house ready for Christmas?

Just eat normally! Eat something similar every WI day so that your weight is consistent, i work on WI day so always have an apple and cereal for breakfast, then a mugshot with chicken followed by a yoghurt and strawberries for lunch, i only drink 1.5 litres of water too and make sure don't eat...

Day 34 for me on day 36, i went over by 20 syns yesterday (so had 60) and was already planning on having less than 10 every day to make up for it, there's no way i'm going without more syns to still be within my weekly syns...it will lead to a binge for me i'm almost certian of it, so yesterday...

I had egg, chips and beans with fried onions, mushrooms and red pepper.

Day 33 for me, not sure i'll have a 100% day tomorrow as i'm at my cousin's 21st birthday party, i have allocated 40 syns but if i go over then i go over, as long as i enjoy doing it! I will try to stick to it though.

I have lost 20lbs on EE 2 years ago, and lost 13lbs in 5 weeks this time, love EE so much. I joined SW in May and lost 8lbs on EE in 2 weeks, had a binge and put on 1.5lbs the week after so did some red days, lasted 5 days and then binged again! It felt too restrictive for me at that point and...

I made 1 syn chocolate dipped strawberries for group tonight, melted a 26 syn choc bar and dipped 26 strawberries in when i got in from work, bunged in the fridge for half an hour, placed in a nice dish and voila! Went down a storm :) Can't say i noticed who didn't bring food tonight, i was...

Day 31 for me, managed a 2.5lbs loss and managed to get overall syns to 100/105 for the week despite Sundays steak pie :rolleyes:

Points or syns? LOL See the 100 days to Christmas thread, i ate 23.5 syns of pastry today :eek: Still should be under 105 for the week though so it's ok really :) Welcome back to SW by the way, good luck xx

Day 28 done! Almost had a disaster today though! Went to my parents and my dad had made a steak and mushroom pie and it smelled devine, there was 1/4 of it left, i asked how he had made it and it was free apart from the pastry, i thought i'll syn it later and gobbled it all up :o Checked the...

I hear their half syn sausages are good! The 'Be Good To Yourself' ones.

Tea sounds gorgeous, i have to try that although will need chips with mine i imagine :o

If your tired during the day then you need more energy, you are burning tons with all that exercise so maybe you need to eat a bit more.

Dykt 'spaghetti' means string in Italian! I didn't! My 6 year olds told me after reading it in her school book about pasta. Quite obvious when you think about it eh :rolleyes:

I have no advice re the menopause but just wanted to say well done for going back to class after your gain, it's hard going back and facing everyone i know it is. I hope someone can help reassure you, remember how far you have come and remember that your health comes first so if you need to...

Thanks for that, i nearly bought one last week, i'll definitely wait i think.

Hi Jo Good luck on your journey, everyone is lovely on this board you will get lots of support. Start a food diary it really helps me be accountable for the day. Also come and join us on the 100 days until Christmas thread, work out how many days until Christmas are left and see if you can be...

I second what everyone else has said...have a good read of the books and completely start again, get rid of your scales and just trust that it will work.

Aww, lovely news x

I think that formula is only used when there are no free foods within the product, so chocolate and crisps and things it's spot on and an easy way to work it out.

I think it's a really good idea! It will work well for you psychologically, here's to your 'first' 100% week and a fabby dabby first loss next week x

Today it's a jacket potato with tuna mayo and a big salad.

Fruit then sardines on toast.

I have cereal and fruit if at work, if not i like a sw fry up with lots of superfree or i'll have fruit and then something on toast, today it's tinned sardines in tomato sauce. I too have PCOS and have been at very healthy weights lots of times in my life, it's very do-able, the issue for me is...

Just stay 100% for the rest of the week to minimise any damage. If i was away travelling i would do some research ahead too see what sw friendly places i could eat at near to where i was staying, i would probably also pack some free foods and low syn things, such as Mugshots to stop you...

Oh gosh, i'm not sure quite what to say... Well done for a start only eating 1 cupcake, amazing! I think you have a brilliant attitude, knowing that you need to be in the best health possible to deal with whatever (hopefully won't) happen...keep that in mind and keep at it. Hats off to you...

That certainly puts my STS on week 3 into perspective! Hope you manage to work out if there's a problem x

I wish i could say 18/100 but yesterday i had 22 syns! So it was not 100% by my standards (i might of let myself get away with it if i had still had 105 syns over the week but this took me over). So i'm now on 17/100 out of a possible 18/100. Had a STS at WI when i deserved a loss!! Came...

The feeling afterwards keeps me in my exercise routine...i just promise myself that i will do 15 minutes, but i always carry on going! If you really focus on that high after your done you can get addicted to it! I still think of food when i'm stressed but lately have been thinking that i need...

Your Feast lolly was 14 syns???!!! Mine are 8 (i think!!) they say 160 cals each on the box anyway :sigh: That 0.5lbs on doesn't count btw as it's a mid week WI! Weigh on your normal day and i bet it's disappeared.
