All picture posters look amazing! You can see such differences! Thanks for the motivation!

A big bowl of fruit (strawberries, blackberries or banana) with a flavoured mullerlight poured over them and an alpen light bar crumbled on the top. I have a cup of tea with it and it feels really satisfying. I have to eat something when my OH is sat eating 4 bars of chocolate next to me.

I do mainly green with the odd red day thrown in. I find myself a bit too hungry on a red day. Chop and change and see what works best for you. Nothing says you can't do EE for 6 days and try a green or red in there as a trial! :)

That's a fantastic loss!! Well done to you! I wish I could manage that in 5 months!!

Do you like curry? You can make a really hearty curry for free on Slimming World! Are you EE or do you do original/green?

Thinking of you Honey!!

Asda has stopped doing the £1 Quorn steaks around here. Gone up to £2.18 now! I really enjoyed eating those lots but won't be buying them at full price.

Helloooo. Has anyone got any 20's or generous 18's? I need long trousers - at least 33" inside leg. Or any long tops (at least 30" from neck to hem) would be brilliant.

Huge congratulations to you, love. You look amazing.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I do actually own a chunky belt...two actually! I just don't wear them because it draws attention to my tummy when I cinch my waist in! I'm stuggling to find clothes because, despite only being 5'8", I'm very leggy and the trousers are long enough and the tops...

Everyone looks fabulous! I still don't have the courage to post one of me part way through nevermind before!!

My HexA's are usually 42g reduced fat cheese and my HexB's are nearly always weetabix, alpen lights or WW brown danish. I have been known to have cashew nuts for my stirfry though.

Thank you muchly!! xx

Not a bargain as such but it's something else useful! My Morrisons have started stocking quark in the fridge section by the cottage cheese. Big green sign above it saying "New!" Trouble is, they were all sold out! Hah. I know some people have said they can't get quark in Morrisons, myself...

Longley Farm Cottage Cheese - Virtually Fat Free. Thank you! I *think* it's free but I'm always thrown into doubt over cottage cheese.

It's not even like I ever go out anywhere! We don't go to pubs, clubs, parties or even the cinema. I'm a hermit! I don't know what the matter is with me today! I'm thinking about going to have a shower and style my hair differently afterwards. OH wouldn't even notice, mind! When I do get out to...

Is anyone else stuck in a style rut? I feel soooo frumpy in my clothes despite having lost. I took a pair of trousers in four inches last week in the hope it would radically transform me but it didn't really do that for me. I'm bored of wearing the same few outifts over and over. I wear leggings...

Think someone on here said put balsamic vinegar in lemonade and it tastes like pimms!

This is just disgusting. So sorry you had to go through this.

It wasn't even Moomintrolljen this time!

That lasagne looks lush!!!

I noticed my Asda never has it anymore! Now I know why! Also, might have to try the Asda ice-cream when the Carte Dor goes back up!

I bought some off ebay recently but they make my teeth hurt soooo much. They also taste disgusting! I'm on hiatus from them at the moment.

Just make sure you pick up the "Light" one. :) You get a lot for 100g! :D

I do the intensive 20mins 30 day shred by Jillian. I'm sooooo puffed out by the end.

Carte Dor Light is half price in Asda at the moment. I only just discovered this stuff and I love it!

I am just bumping this thread because OMG this ice-cream is SO worth it. I had two scoops with strawberries which works out to about 70cals (I still counted 5 syns though even though I know it weighed much less than 100g) and it is SO creamy. Nomnomnom. Plus, it's half price at Asda at the...

Some of those comments are horrible! I can't imagine why some people say the things they do. The transformation of that young lady is brilliant!

You look like you're doing great without the exercise!! I think my bum is going to fall off from the uncomfortable seat on the exercise bike.

I'm still here. Food diary is kinda on the back-burner. As is weighing. I put far too much pressure on myself when I have to weigh. I know I'm sticking to plan and exercising when I can so I'm just plodding along! Thanks for your support everyone! xx

My own scales are the only ones I weigh in on! Haha. I lost so much so quickly with being poorly and as soon as I could eat again, I started and couldn't stop! We're talking serious binge eating. Like 6000 calories or more in a day. I'm slowly trying to get back in the frame of mind but it's not...

I'm here, I'm here. I'm finding this SO hard. Making all the wrong choices. Can't bear to see the damage I've done on the scales.

24/07/10 (Red Day) Breakfast: Alpen bar (1/2 HexB) Lunch: Ryvita Crackbreads (HexB) with Laughing Cow Light (HexA) and cucumber. Bowl of strawberries. Tea: Snacks/Grazing: Drinks: Water Syns: None Total Syns: 0

I'm 4lb up now! *eyeroll* Wonder what it'll be monday!

Wow! I've come to see what you're eating to get such fantastic losses! You are doing brilliantly!

Thanks, Donna! Your weightlosses are amazing!!

I've really got to work on portion control. Tonight's salad was MASSIVE.

Awww! That's brilliant! A wedding and a house! Fairytale!! hehe. xx

That dress is beautiful! I can only hope I look halfway as good as you do come Christmas when I start trying to find mine! :)

That dress is beautiful!! You're gonna look stunning!

Thanks love!

23/07/10 (Red Day) Breakfast: 2 weetabix (HexB) with skimmed milk (HexA) and sweetener. Lunch: Was out in the garden. Bad me. Tea: Balsamic Chicken and King Prawn Salad with gherkins, cucumber, tomato and mixed leaves. Wholemeal bread (HexB) No spread. 42g LowLow cheese (HexA)...

Right back on the plan properly! I'm already +3lb on Monday's weigh in (that's not a scales issue as I weigh in at home). My body is holding onto food in case it gets starved again I think. I said earlier in the week that I wouldn't care if I gained this week but I'm actually gutted. :(

Yayyyy! Well done you! I'm rapidly putting weight back on! +3lb so far! Imma have to take my stickers off and you'll get to put one on. :D

I am not doing so well with my challenge. I'm already 3lb up on last weigh in (seeing as I weigh in at home it's not a scales thing!). Think my body is holding onto everything after getting nothing for two weeks. I'll have to take my Club 10 sticker and 2 stone sticker off. :(

Think it was mostly water weight I lost! I'm going to try for 3 meals tomorrow.

I'm just about eating again. Trouble is, scales day I've gained since I've started eating which is annoying. Grrrr.

I bet you've lost!!

Wedding Day twins! My challenge for this week is to not gain. I know that sounds stupid but I've been poorly so only just started eating again and so scared I'm putting on. I'm a lb up on my WI day already.

Well done to you all! *big clap*

SO glad you got the excellent results! Those fans are gorgeous!

I hope your results are all that you hoped for, love. xx

I've set my target to 200lb because working towards anything less than that seems uncomprehensible for me at the moment. I might change it when I get there. I think it all depends on the person. :) Hmmm, this calculator seems to be all over the place! If I put in my target as my current weight...

I love reading wedding blogs. I go through phases of posting in mine then forget I have one! Haha.

Does anyone else have a wedding blog?

It's just diet and definitely no added sugar. I know that some diet drinks are higher than others in cals. This one is 10 cals per 250ml and most other diet drinks are about 1-2.

Can someone just check to see if Asda Diet Cloudy Lemonade is syn free for me? I know most low cal drinks are but then there are some that aren't if I remember rightly. Plus, it tastes waaaay too nice to be free. I've been freezing it in lolly moulds. Mmmm, fizzy lolly. Also...whilst I'm on...

The Nando's marinade is only 1/2 a syn per tbsp I think. I always have that instead of the mayo.

Was it a wholemeal roll? You only get 57g of a roll as a Hex I think (which is actually very small). Also, don't quote me, but I don't think the chicken from McD's is free.

We'll have to brain storm for challenges. For example: Introduce a fruit or veg we wouldn't normally eat into our plans for a week. Might be something as simple as throwing in a bit of spinach to a curry or other dish. Would only have to do it once! Might add variety. Do we have pedometers...

My arms will have so much loose skin when I'm done (if I make it) that no amount of toning will cure. Sleeves all the way!!!

I weigh in on a Monday and I'm going it alone. Well, with the help of all the lovely miniminners!

Mmm...Jensen! 1. laura2481. Wedding date 29/05/2011 2. Cailin Maith. Wedding date 29/05/2011 3. Fray. Wedding date 06/08/2011 (just added Cailin as I posted just as she did!)

Me, me! 1. laura2481. Wedding date 29/5/2011 2. Fray. Wedding date 06/08/2011

Thanks, love! You are so sweet! xx

Better Ideal Weight Body Calculations According to this, my ideal weight based on what other people of my age, gender height and weight now would be 171lb. This is compared to the BMI chart that says between 125-164lb. I much prefer the idea of getting to 171 lb (even though I've set 200lb...

I'm getting there! Dehydration thanks to a gastric flu. I'm starting eating again now so I'm almost expecting a gain next weigh day. I'll be ok with that. I hope!

Well done losers! I'm having to roll weeks 6 & 7 together for weigh in as was in hospital for some of it. So, I had lost 11lb for the two weeks when I got out but as weigh day for me is a Monday I did it again this morning. There's another 3lb off so 1 stone for 2 weeks. That gives me my 2...

I've been looking for a sweet and sour! I'm definitely going to try this when I'm feeling better!

Hehe, I thought it was a bit upbeat to walk down the aisle to. Our string quartet plays modern songs too. We're keeping that a secret and having them play classical to seat the guests and for me coming in, also through the ceremony (signing etc). Then...when we walk out they'll strike up in All...

This is a beautiful song! It's a strong contender for our first dance but I think we're actually going with So Close. We're intending to walk out of the ceremony to All You Need Is Love played by our string quartet. It sounds brill!

These photos are amazing! Such an inspiration for people with a lot to lose like me. Thanks guys!

That's a fantastic achievement! Well done you! When is your wedding? You'll be at target in no time!

Ooops, didn't see this thread had new posts. I'm getting there. Sickness feeling comes in waves but religiously taking my anti-sick pills. I finally decided I'd try some toast at 11pm last night and we didn't have bread. OH ran out to scour the streets for a 24 hour shop and returned...

Yeah. Stomach flu though! :( I expect some of it will go back on this week.

Was just worried about you, love!!

I don't recommend getting stomach flu to do it though!

Ok, I weighed myself. -11lb for me. I do NOT recommend this way to lose it though.

Just had call from hospital...need additional meds after another result came back. Humph.

She's just come back from Florida. Perhaps she was whisked away for an anniversary weekend for a surprise!!

For me, being able to go into a shop and pick what I like then check to see if they do it in my size. NOT, look for my size and then see if I like the item. I want to look at photos and think "that's not bad". Especially next year's wedding pics.

Me too! I saw her last post was 4 days ago and she's usually daily with her diary etc! She's a little ray of sunshine around here.

Anyone seen her?

Big congratulations to you, my love!!! xx

Well, I'm home so mood is a bit elevated. I'm still not eating or drinking well but I'm determined not to go back to hospital so am going to try VERY hard. I'm very tired too so body magic will have to wait!

No weigh in for me this week. I feel like I've STS but also have very swollen tummy so poss a gain. Will WI next Monday if I feel better. Well done to the Monday crew for some fantastic losses!

Ok, so ended up in hospital. Diet is going to have to wait for a bit as I'm still not eating. Main priority is getting well. I'm not eating tonnes of crap food. Yes, I may be trying to eat anything I can. Some things I try are off plan but I don't eat enough to make a difference. Expect my...

Hey, Jen! How's it going?

Yes, got really severely dehydrated. Was in agony with stomach pain and muscles all cramped up so much I couldn't move. Vision went and everything. Was on a continuous fluid drip for days along with other stuff. It's gastroentrenitis but the dehydration was what they were trying to treat...

Oops. I got admitted to hospital on Saturday. Just got out tonight.

I have PCOS and I rarely have a period since I had a coil fitted (on advice of my Gyn). Before that I used to get really heavy ones but still only once every 6 months or so. Totally irregular and varying lengths - 2 days to 14 days of bleeding. Now, since dropping some weight I've had a...

I have an appointment to have blood taken tomorrow though apparently that's not what they like doing. They prefer to get a sample...ummm...another way...I'm sure you can imagine. However, since I can't provide a good enough sample that way they're taking blood. Likelihood is I'll be over it by...

Maybe my tummy wouldn't be as bad if I'd gone with Louise's plan!

Well done on the massive loss! Bet you feel brilliant! Hope you have a wonderful anniversary meal tonight, hun.

We've pinpointed it down to some farm eggs (non supermarket) we bought. It's the only thing I've eaten that's different. The stall we bought them from had them out all day in the hot sun, looking back. Eggs were pretty much my staple on this diet. I don't think I'm going to be able to eat one...

My friend is Lyd or Liddy. Erin and Ewan don't lend themselves to shortening in my opinion. Both Lawrences I know are 'Larry'.

I lose it around my bust, just under my bust and face first. Tummy and arms always go last which is sad as they're the bits I dislike the most!

Today is much better thank goodness. Monday night I did actually think I was going to sick myself inside out (TMI!). My limbs all ache and my skin actually hurts. I haven't moved off the bed all day today or yesterday other than to go to the inevitable toilet . Thank goodness for laptops! I'm a...

Day 3 of food poisoning. All I can think about is how it's going to affect my loss when I weigh on Monday. My body is probably clinging onto everything so make it feel better and so I don't think I'll lose anything. Part of me knows I should concentrate on getting better but I just keep...

I managed to eat a weetabix in about 20 minutes today as opposed to the nearly an hour yesterday. Things might be looking up! I feel 10 x better than I did yesterday but still not happy with food. It's not even like I'm eating badly but I'm so annoyed I'm not on plan. I've been bitten by the...

Urgh...apparently my hormones are out to get me again. Not only do I have suspected food poisoning but now I have my 3rd period!

* week - What the heck, hormones? 07/07/10 (Green Day)* Breakfast: Nothing Lunch: Nothing Tea: 1 x weetabix (1/2 HexB) and milk (HexA) with sweetener Snacks/Grazing: Drinks: sugar free cherryade, Decaf-tea (milk as HexA) Syns: 0 Total Syns: 0

I don't watch it but my friend from Uni is very good friends with Nathan. She's having her little campaign on her Facebook statues! haha.

Darn! Perhaps the lemony taste will outweigh the slime!

Yeah, never! *snort*

I've already aired my disappointment elsewhere but will do it here too! :D The strawberry one is definitely not worth the 1 syn as I actually prefer the normal strawberry one. The only added bit was slimey biscuit bits. The New York cheesecake one, whilst a different flavour to normal...

Silly OH picked up the Fruit and Nut ones when he picked a few things up last week. I know he was trying but now they're taunting me.

Morning people! I wish I could say I'm feeling better. At least I appear to be keeping more fluids in me today. I'm still not keen on food today. I hope this doesn't affect a loss this week as my body will be holding onto everything it's got if I'm not putting more in. :(

Hope this fluey stuff goes soon.

06/07/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: Nothing Lunch: Nothing Tea: Attempted one weetabix (1/2 HexB) with sweetner and milk (HexA) and half a slice of WW Brown Danish (1/3 HexB) and flora light (synned) Snacks/Grazing: Drinks: sugar free cherryade, water Syns: flora light - 0.5 syns...

Here's hoping that you will be pleasantly surprised and it hasn't affected your losses!

-2lb off for me today.

You are beautiful Jen! I always imagine your moomin in the profile picture as being the one sitting at the computer!

I think I put more pressure on myself weighing at home than I ever did weighing at class! Haha.

Ohhhhh, I want that now!

When I go shopping tonight I'm going to pick up a bag of sugar and hopefully feel better!

05/07/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: 2 egg omelette in frylight and 3 x WW brown danish (HexB) with flora light (synned). Lunch: Sleeping Tea: Few mouthfuls of chickpea dahl and wholegrain rice. Couple of strawberries and a spoonful or two of mullerlight with a little bit of alpen bar (HexB)...

Pants! Just 2lb off for me this week. Bit down in the dumps as I have been exercising so hard. I guess that's not enough!

We had the same supper yesterday! Nomnomnom!

Just wanted a bit more!

Excellent job, cookie! You must be over the moon! Just 2lb off for me this week. Bit gutted because I've exercised SO hard this week. I'm also STILL constipated. Seems to be that way before every WI morning. A loss is a loss. Onwards and upwards...or should that be downwards. I wish my wii...

Only 2lb off for me this week. Gutted.

We eat out for Sunday lunch and it's what his mum gives me. I've told her I won't be having any this Sunday. Thank goodness it was only two!

Don't panic! Draw a line under it! *hugs*

04/07/10 (Extra Easy) Breakfast: Turkey rasher, omelette, flat mushrooms and beans with brown sauce (synned). Lunch: Roast dinner with mash (no butter or milk), gravy (synned) 2 x small roast potatoes (synned) and free veg. Followed by jelly (synned) with strawberries in and 12.5g squirty...

The film wasn't great which is a shame. VERY rushed. I think it'd be a great watch if you haven't read the book.

I feel a bit like that today! I want to eat everything and anything. I just want a BIG slab of chocolate cake and cream with chips on the side. :D Hope you feel much better now! I need to sort my tea out before I pig out on bad stuff.

Has anyone seen the stirfry frylight in shops yet? It was in the last issue of the SW mag!

12lb in 4 weeks.

Well, yesterday was supposed to be my flexi-syn day as I was at a showing of Twilight at midnight. My OH measured out exactly 15 syns of Milkybar buttons from a big pack (turned out to be half the packet or just under) before we went and put them in a food bag inside the original bag. He ate the...

The day I use my flexi-syns!!! 02/07/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: Banana, mullerlight. Lunch: 3 x WW brown danish (HexB) with Laughing Cow Light (HexA) and strawberries. Tea: 3 quorn sausages and wholegrain rice. Snacks/Grazing: Milkybar buttons (synned) and Alpen Light (1/2 HexB)...

I love that this story has such a happy ending!!

I've never done one of these before! I'll aim for 6lb seeing as I've upped the exercise with free weights so will be putting on muscle. Caramelle - 8lbs Karen - 10lbs Atchonblimp21 - 6lbs Lazorinie - 7lbs gemma_ - 7lbs Kate. - 7lbs Kingy 10lbs Nikkiruth -10lbs MichelleB -5lbs Nattymo -7lbs...

Wow!!! What a relief for you!! I, too, am sorry you had to have concern first!

To be honest, I'm not having a good week. I decided to do flexisyns this week as I'm out at the cinema tonight. I wanted to have chocolate and stuff but I've still synned during the week in small amounts (unless you count yesterday where I made a mistake) and I'm also thinking...weigh day on...

I think I'm going to give these a try next time I pass a H&B!

Sounds like brilliant fun! One of my FB friends does Zumba and she loves it!!

I am out of eggs! But I have toast! I had a banana and a yoghurt for breakfast so I'll have toast for lunch. Thanks Jen!

You are doing so well, Alia! You come across as such a bubbly lady who is full of life and I hate to think you are sad. But that's why we are all here. Vent away! Big hugs for you!

Oooh, wonder if there's a Lakelands near here!?

Thing is, I still remembered to have 1/3 superfree on EE! Poorly tummy today...something I ate? Too much salad recently? I dunno. I hope it clears by tonight! Anyone know what I can eat? I'm doing a green day so figure wholegrain rice tonight for tea.

Oh, fudge!! I had two HexB's by accident. Am so used to being on a red or green and not EE so forgot I only get one. Means I have to syn it and I'm supposed to be saving my syns for tomorrow night!

I've never heard of a butter bud!! *also googles*

I'd ban pastry. *nods* I could do with gregg's going out of business! Free - cookies!!

01/07/10 Extra Easy (friend round for tea) Breakfast: Trimmed bacon and a 2-egg omelette (frylighted) Lunch: Not sure yet! Tea: Chicken wrapped in bacon with cheese (HexA), salad and pasta. 2 x Asda Wholemeal Pitta (1 x HexB, 1 x synned). I forgot I was on extra easy and had two! Whoops...

Helps me see in the dark, too! Jen...my sauce never turns out exactly the same more than once! I do it with quorn mainly so I brown off my quorn fillets in a pan for about 1-2 mins and then pour in a tin of chopped tomatoes, 1/2 pint of stock, throw in whole button mushrooms, 1 or 2 (depending...

I am going to sleep well tonight!!!

That's brilliant! Only 2.5lb on!!! Way under your 4lb allowance!

I'm hoping you've had your positive weigh in by now!!

Essentially they didn't get on with anything vegetable like or made from vegetables. They didn't have EE when they were on it though. They keep trying to swing me to do what they do and calorie count. If I did that I'd just have my calories in chocolate. This way (the SW way) I know I'm getting...

A couple of my friends have tried SW and come off it again. They say it was an awful diet and it was disgusting. For me, it isn't disgusting. I absolutely love the taste of Quorn! Just because the food on the plan isn't to your taste doesn't mean that it's no good for anyone. Makes me really...

Funnily enough, our consultant encouraged us to split our Hex's (so long as we had both halves by the end of the day) so I find myself doing that a lot of the time. It annoys me that some consultants don't read from the same hymn book because I could use my syns on something far better than milk!

Yeah, I think it depends on your consultant. It was how I was taught, and even though I didn't have a very good consultant at first, the rest of my friends who go to other SW groups in the area (and some out of) all syn it if they don't use the full amount.

Good luck!!

If you don't use ALL of your Hex then you are supposed to syn it, right? E.g: If you only use 100ml of your milk should you choose it as a HexA, you should syn it instead or if you only use 1 slice of bread from your 2 Nimbles in HexB, you should syn it. I'm a terror for not using all my...

You won't have put on a stone!!! Though, YES, you can do this!!

Flexi syn week! Thanks Jen! 30/06/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: 28g Honeynut Shredded Wheat (HexB) with skimmed milk (HexA...if I use my whole allowance), banana. Lunch: Carrots!!! I'm addicted! Gotta stop having breakfast so late! Tea: Quorn curry (awesome sauce!) and a spoonful of rice...

Welcome back! Hope you get a nice surprise at WI tonight!!

This body magic lark is tiring!!

Synned again! Supposed to be a flexi week! 29/06/10 (Red Day) Breakfast: A double decker bacon and egg sammich (HexB) with brown sauce (synned). Lunch: Breakfast wasn't until late so probably carrots and other free snacky bits and an alpen bar (1/2HexB) Tea: Chicken and prawn stirfry...

I get a bad mouth from pineapple! :(

Thanks, my love! I didn't buy any but now I know for next time! Yes, Alpen's are still on offer...2 for £3! AND...my Asda FINALLY had wholemeal pittas back in stock! Hurrah for a new HexB!!!

Hello! How have you found the red menu for the past few days? Good luck on the weigh in tomorrow morning! xx

Whoopsie! Am supposed to be saving my syns!!!

Have to say, just tried the New York cheesecake one and wasn't impressed! The little cheesecake bits are a bit slimey!! Much prefer the vanilla and chocolate one!

So happy for all these amazing losses this week! And so many people getting shiny, shiny stickers this week!!!

Can anyone help? I'm just about to go to Asda...I know that the lamb in mint jelly joint is free...does anyone know about any other of their ready to roast joints? I also hope the Alpen lights are on offer still!

Well done on introducing exercise! I've started doing the same and I feel miles better already. Mentally mostly! It's brilliant knowing you've done that little extra activity! You're doing so well!!

I'll keep everything crossed for you funcurls...even my eyes! It's a very attractive look for me!

Thanks! I have stepped up the body magic...not easy when I'm long term sick but trying all the same!!

Argh! Only 2lb to go until 1 stone off! However, I was going to save all my syns this week as going to the midnight showing of Twilight on Friday/Sat morn at the cinema. That's probably not such a good idea when I'm weighing in on Mondays. Oooh, what to do.

Really want to lose 2lb this week for my 1 stone!! 28/06/10 (Red Day) Breakfast: 28g (works out to about 20 pieces) Honeynut Shredded Wheat (HexB) and skimmed milk (HexA). Satsuma. Lunch: Strawberries! No food in house...shop tonight! Tea: Steak, bacon and prawn salad with 42g Low Low...

I either went: Breakfast: Nothing Lunch: Nothing Tea: Take out or bread loaded with cheese (half a big block), oven chips (half a massive bag), pizza (whole one to myself), sausages. Followed by ice-cream, chocolate (large bar), cakes (whole one), cookies (whole bag). Supper: Half a loaf of...

I've had two * weeks this month since starting slimming world and have a coil AND Pcos! I usually only get periods once in a blue moon! I think losing weight has kickstarted something but I'm hoping it'll settle soon!

-3lb this week (had a second * week to contend with) and can finally cross off my target number 1! Let's hope it stays under the stone barrier next time.

I hope kitty makes it!!!

Good job I had some Body Magic in there today. That dessert was naughty. :(

You look stunning, Fern!

I think I'm eating too much fruit. Next week I intend to snack on carrot/celery sticks rather than fruit when I'm hungry. I may also cut down on the eggs/mullerlights/alpen bars. I Love mullerlights and alpen after my tea but I think everyday is affecting loss. Of course, it's * week again...

* week 27/06/10 (Red Day)* Breakfast: Two egg omelette in Frylight, satsuma, nectarine. Lunch: Strawberries!! Tea: Roast dinner (no potato). Gravy (synned). Followed by m-i-l to be's 'healthy' dessert (synned). Snacks/Grazing: Had supper last night... 6 xRyvita wholegrain crackerbread...

Yes, if you look at my targets you'll see I crossed off the one about ordering my dress in a 16! They come up SO small. My friend who got down to a size 8 for her wedding had to wear a 14 on the day and those friends who are a 14 had to wear a 20. No vanity sizing on those dresses. Just...

* week 26/06/10 (Red Day)* Breakfast: Two egg omelette in Frylight, turkey rasher, 3 x WW brown danish (HexB), brown sauce (synned). Lunch: Didn't have breakfast til about 12pm!! Tea: Didn't go out so had homemade burgers (extra lean mince) with Low Low Cheese (HexA) and boiled egg salad...

I bought some of this after reading it was free! Have yet to have it though!

Going to a party tomorrow night. There will be drink flowing and a huge buffet of naughty things. My plan is NOT to be drinking and I hope I can be good with the food.

Hi Chantelle! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm getting married in August 2011. You've made a terrific start at losing the weight and I'm sure with 100% effort you'll make your target! I know what you mean about "What if I'm still fat?" I've lost 9lb and feel like I look bigger than...

Me either! Do you have a food diary on here?

5 months??? That's fantastic! Well done you!! Enjoy your 16's!! xx

^ crikey! I hope that's not true!

With me it's my mobile phone!!

I didn't even know there was a butter one!! I'll have to research that! Think our shop only sells the original and the olive oil one. I tried the salad spray once. Was not to my taste at all. :(

They're selling them off in our Julian Graves at the moment! Everything in there is half price because they're being replaced with a Holland & Barrett.

We have mirrored wardrobes! Urghhh.

My hormones are obviously all out of whack. I've got a * week again!! I'll never lose weight if I'm always bloated! I want to eat everything in the house, too!

Second * week...only been off 10 days! *eyeroll* 25/06/10 (Green Day)* Breakfast: Two egg omelette in Frylight, satsuma and a nectarine. Lunch: Strawberries!! 3 x WW brown danish (HexB) and flora light (synned). Tea: 4 x quorn sausages, Heinz spaghetti, SW wedges with a BBQ shotz...

I accepted! xx

Very true words!! Bedtime for me now!! Night night! x

I know, and I very much appreciate the support! It's hard being on a forum where some diets make you lose stones in weeks! It makes your head do the crazy. I have high hopes that mine (and all SW's) will maintain nicely once at goal! I shouldn't grumble too much at * weeks. I have PCOS so...

It's not that I don't "like" cooking...I'm just not very good at it! Hehe. OH used to do most of it but that's chips and pizza and all sorts of bad. I'm experimental with sauces these days and gradually trying more recipes out! I'm gutted that I've got my second * in 10 days! TWO * weeks to...

You are doing so well! I want to come and eat at your house! :D

I thought my syns would be through the roof today because I ate jelly beans! Apparently not!

I have yet to receive any compliments. My OH sees me everyday so he says he can't see any difference. Mind you, I am only 1/2 a stone down.

My change is that I had a * week which never happens! My hormones must be getting a kick.

24/06/10 (Extra Easy) Eating at friend's house tonight so EE for today Breakfast: Trimmed bacon, mushrooms, beans and two egg omelette in Frylight. Lunch: Ooops, was working in the garden and didn't notice the time. No lunch. Tea: Chicken and bacon pasta (no sauce...even though I was...

I'm not sure if it's because I overdid the water or because they weren't very flavourful compared to whatever else I've been eating. Definitely put off though! My curry tonight was AMAZING. And HOT.

You look stunning!!

I am STARVING. I don't know what's the matter with me. I'm just in a really picky mood.

23/06/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: Mullerlight, banana, satsuma, 1 x Alpen bar (1/2 HexB) Lunch: Low Fat Supernoodles (bleeeeeeuch - I liked these a few weeks ago and now they taste bland and icky) Tea: Quorn Chicken Curry (with experimental sauce With AWESOME sauce!) and wholegrain rice...

I have decided that I'm going to log my body magic here too.

Well done to all you (weight) losers! xx Hope those who are disappointed get a good result next time! xx

Thanks Funcurls! Just get disheartened because I try hard! Eternalflame - I love it when you tell people how many apples they've lost! :D

Just popped in to get some inspiration and thought I'd say hello! You have some lovely menu ideas! x

This post is just downright AWESOME. CP - I can't really add anything to this but I think we put so much pressure on ourselves. You have done an amazing job and you have recognised a blip. You're doing the right thing by acknowledging it and drawing the line under it.

Arghhhh, only 1lb off. Though...TMI. I'm a little "bunged up again" which is unusual for me on green. My OH is trying to make excuses for me. I've been doing 15 mins step a day whilst holding onto free weights (started doing this with weights this week) as well as 10 mins rhythm boxing on...

Scales only said -1lb this morning. *sigh* Though I am constipated at the moment. :o

You look amazing! I think it's important to appreciate those small losses that all add together to make a substantial achievement. You look absolutely fab!

Hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow!

I am not holding much hope for weighing myself tomorrow morning! :(

20/06/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: Was doing a boot sale this morning so only ate an alpen bar (1/2 HexB). Lunch: Roast dinner at the mil to be's house. Chicken (HexB) and lots of veg, gravy (synned) and Y.Pudding (synned). Followed by mil's 'healthy' dessert...something with quark and cocoa...

After saying that I was hungry yesterday, I've eaten like a horse today, too. Used both my HexA's!! 12 syns too!

I love celery with primula squirted down the middle. That primula light tube is 75g for a HexA!

Well done to Ian!! You truly are an inspiration.

For some reason I spent yesterday feeling SO hungry. Back to green today!

18/06/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: 2 egg omelette (frylight) and beans. Lunch: 6 x Ryvita wholegrain crackerbread (HexB) with 6 x Extra Light Laughing Cow Triangles (HexA) with cucumber. Tea: Quorn sausages and new potatoes with beans and 42g Low Low Cheese (HexA) and Nando's Sauce...

Congratulations on 2lb loss!! Hope you have a brilliant time on holiday! xx

Well done, love!!!

I would pay more attention to using up my syns and Hex's. Not panic and suddenly say "Omg, I've got to find 5-10 syns before bedtime!"

I tried to sent you a message, mizdooleys, but it bounced back saying you have chosen not to receive private messages. :(

Oooh, might have to look at Ocado or Waitrose. I'm tired of getting short dates from Asda and Tesco. Plus, I can never find what I want online. It's very likely that my shopping is done online as I'm too poorly to go to the shop most of the time. We do have to do top up shops for fresh stuff...

16/06/10 (Green Day) Breakfast: 2 egg omelette with frylight, satsuma. (I know I said I was going to have something on toast when talking about it yesterday. The bread was mouldy though. OH tried to get me some yesterday but they didn't have WW brown danish, just WW danish - I like having...

75g is awesome!

I actually meant to throw my other HexB in the curry as we had some chicken breast slices but I forgot and I prefer it without meat. Tomorrow I'll have something on toast for breakfast to make sure I use a HexB as alpen bars are easy to eat during the day.

Hmmm, apparently I find it harder to use my Hex's on a green day.
