Ok so someone tagged me in a pic of myself and I was horrified! I’ve tried the it’s a bad angle route and I don’t REALLY look like that but the fact is bad angle or not those chins aren’t magically put there by the lens. They’re real. No more messing about and no more excuses! I’m just under...

Hi all! I’m restarting Sw at home as I can’t commit to go to a group near me because of the times they’re on plus I want to go back to the original and green plans as I had more success on these when I first started doing slimming world but just wondered if anyone e else follows the old plan as...

My tea...veg curry

Hi cave girl :) nice to see you too!! My dinner

I im Louise I have tried many diets in the past, lost a lot of weight doing Sw but as I got into the 'healthy' bmi range I struggled so switched to cc, I hit i weight I was reasonably happy with but not my ultimate goal weight, and decided to stop. I have managed to stay that weight within 5...

Hi please can I join?? I am on day 3 of calorie counting and exercising, I've lost weight a few times before but have recently crept back up to almost 11 stone after being 10.2, I'd love to be 9.7 by Christmas :)

I find if I eat late I tend to be more hungry on the night and that's where I struggle. So I figured if I eat breakfast instead of snacking after tea I should be better. I'm back counting calories too and have bought a DVD player to do the 30 day shred again. I'm not bothered too much about the...

You've done marvellous to stay at the weight you are. Fluctuation is normal and it's good you are proving that just cos it goes up a pound or even 2-4 pound doesn't mean you have to let it go :) well done

I'm just trying to eat healthy rather than monitoring strictly what I eat as this makes me hungry. Here's where I'm going wrong... Missing breakfast every day Snacking on a night Not drinking enough water Drinking too much wine!! Not nearly enough fruit and veg Here's the changes I've already...

Thanks Hun :)

Yes I seem To have been the same weight for well over 18 months now abd lose some then bounce back up. But I'm determined to lose some for my Holiday!!! Holidays are the worst for weight gain. I think we all just think screw it and really go for it lol.

Also how are you I can't see stats on my phone. How's it all going x

I've been mega busy with my business and seperatinh with my hubby, then starting a new relationship!! I've stayed around 10.7, which I'm pleased at but since taking the pill again my appetite has increased dramatically, smalso I'm going on my first holiday in 7 years in 6 weeks so woukd like to...

hi guys sorry ive been awol, cant remember what I last posted and haven't read back yet, will do when I get more time...but ive split with the hubby and not been looking after myself very well, going long periods with nothing to eat, eating crap, drinking too much wine and not enough water etc...

Hi guys, just thought I'd drop by. Me and my hubby split around 3 weeks ago so not had time for thinking of food but I've dropped around 10.2 mark so have been shopping today for healthy food cos I want to drop into the 9's for my birthday in 4 weeks :) x

Nice to see you rod. :) I'm Weighing in st 10.2.....that's a 6 pound loss in around a week

Not really setting a cal limit just want to keep it under 2000 but make sure it's full of fruit and veg so sw style but keeping tabs ;) I will get stricter with cal limit in a week once I'm back in the swing if needs be but I'd rather just follow healthy eating cos cc didn't force me to be...

Wow 16pound!!! Emma sorry you injured yourself :( take it easy Tiday has been the first day in weeks I've had breakfast, dinner and tea at normal times. I have been really good but my stomach is in turmoil. Salad, wholemeal bread and beans was a bit much lol. I'm determined to stick to it...

Well as cave girl has already been on my case and put that I've gained 3 pound I thought I would show the top of my head as I'm Hanging my head in shame lol I have decided tomorrow is a fresh start. I want to get back on this now. I have been skipping breakfast, not eating til 3 then being...

Hi guys! Loola are u pregnant? I'm still maintaining at 10.5....I'm not following any diet, pretty much eating what I want lol. But I'm so busy I must be burning it off lol. Starting to get in the mind set if losing another stone now weather is Warmer and bought a Sw mag which I need to flick...

Hi guys I'm still here just super busy.... Still hovering at 10.5 but need to get some more weight off cos feeling flabby. Haven't had time to read properly but I see some are struggling :( chin up peeps summers coming it always makes dieting easier

If you gain after a particular diet to the tune of 8 Stone it's safe to say its not working. Diet Iain the head. Those who say they eat healthy and do t lose are either the 1% who have health issues or they are lying to themselves. Do you still go out on a Weekend. Do you have nights off...

:( annya Happy Easter guys, were all having a crap time atm but just hang on in there, I'm sure when the better weather comes well be much better on our diet

Weigh in this morning shows me back to 10.5 and I tried a wedding dress on (my friend has just opened a shop) which I've tried in before and it was defo looser x

Tell your mum that she needs to do you a favour and not buy cake no matter what...even if your begging for it lol. Sorry about your gain pom :(

Wise words annya. Pom once said to me that ALL the battle with weight loss is in your head...and it's right. We put the damn fatty stuff in our mouths we know what we should and shouldn't eat, it's just getting in the right mindset. There are a couple of ppl on this thread who gain for no...

I've been really comfort eating and I've put 2 pounds on, I'm so exhausted and my skin and hair has gone horrible, I'm going to have to improve my diet for my health if nothing else :/ I've bought some weight watchers meals for when I'm stuck and lots of jacket potatoes and beans to have when...

Hi guys well done annya and doll eyes on the losses Sorry to hear lots are struggling :( I'm doing rubbish too, not eating til late in the day then eating crap. I've gained 2 pound this week. So need to pull it back and start being more healthy. Fresh fruit and veg isn't an option as we are so...

Went for a jog on Tuesday, planned to go thyrsday but my grandad died Wednesday so my head is up my backside. :(

Aaw loola, I'm pleased your getting help tbh I was concerned about you a while ago...you was getting too strict and freaking out about things that shouldn't be an issue....have been thinking about you alot so I'm glad that your ok and getting help Hun. Please be gentle with yourself xxx Sparty...

Haha yes exactly!!! I'm cooking when I have the time, yesterday I made beef casserole and did a lovely pork roast at weekend but I cook from scratch anyway and it's so time consuming. I'm running on coffee...I should be 8 stone the amount I'm eating haha x

No if I was struggling I'd say but atm I'm just focusing on maintaining. I don't 'need' to lose anymore weight and I've got so much going on that I don't have time to be fully focused on losing weight and cooking from scratch etc. hubby has had to take over and his cooking skills are limited. So...

I'm still maintaining. Mega busy!! But am starting to make better choices again :)

Oh you poor thing. Sleep deprivation is the worst :( other than sleepers the only thing that works for me is exercise in the day, but heavy exercise then a good heavy meal. Knicks me out every time!!! X

Wow that awesome news!!! Your such an inspiration. **** news about the sleepless nights though my advice, one night don't go to bed at al and go mega early the next night shoukd reset your body clock xx

Just changing my diet for the better, drink more water and that's it. I need to exercise but in this snow?! Not a chance!! But I am going to start doing some toning exercises squats lunges sit ups and some arm work I feel like I want to do something now which means ill be successful x

Thanks hun :)

Well done Donna and Emma on the losses!! Fabulous results!! Well done cave girl on the maintain! I git weighed at boots to double check I hadn't gained and to my surprise I was 10.5 fully clothed...so at worst I've maintained my weight the past few weeks!! Feeling like my mojo is coming back, I...

I'm doing freelance makeup, makeup artist not selling it lol :) x

Theres 5 of us in our house, there's never left overs lol. Abd it's the getting round to cooking that's a problem. But I'm craving a home cooked meal. I'm busy every day now and somehow have to fit in some decorating and swapping the bedrooms over :/ I could honestly do with some more time in my...

I haveitsome where. You will love it it's so gorgeous!! Yes it's good for getting my name out there abd getting noticed. It all seems really false but it's so competitive this industry you have to constantly self promote. I feel like a right idiot doing it but its with a goal of doing the job...

I've done the chick pea Dahl loaf it's gorgeous!!! But really more ish :) No felicity sadly most of my work atm is for trade, meaning I do the work and get professional pictures for my portfolio and it gets my name out there too, unfortunately there's a lot if leg work to do for free on this...

Your welcome :) Sparty how are you??

Thanks charl. Nice to see you back on it. Today ive tried, had a lovely tea and stopped when full which was good. I'm feeling better after chilling out today, really starting to think about some form if exercise now, it's just so bloody cold :( I'm sick of it. Git a busy few days so going to...

Lol I'm pretty proud of myself and that's why I need a break its all too easy to not see how far you've come when your not at goal...3 1/2 stone is ALOT to lose and if I don't lose another pound I'm not too bothered, I'm a size 12, in my healthy bmi so I'm happy :) don't ever forget how far...

The only way I like the quiches is if I line the dish with bacon first and put shed loads of quark in it to thinker it up. If its going watery it's prob your veg...cook it all first this will get rid if excess water x

I went alone I found it therapeutic, I went in summer when it was light and stuck to main road and built up areas as I like to have my headphones in, it helps to relax me having the music blasting in my ears not having to think about anything. Thanks hun, I will lose a bit more at some point...

How's everyone's weekend been

Hello :) you don't need a fancy class to up your exercise, last year I was totally focused (not so much atm lol) and I just walked on a night, if get my trainers on and headphones in a d just set off. The weight dropped off me. Walking is the best thing imo for weight kids, it's gentle on the...

Annya :( you poor thing!! Big hug hun I have an hour spare today which I need to set up my kit, but I'm determined to fit in a half decent lunch. I have done frozen jacket potatoes and tinned tuna so I'm going to have that for lunch I need decent fuel in me cos I'm burning out, getting cold...

How's everyone doing? I'm maintaining nicely at 10.5 starting to feel like I want to be healthier and do more exercise so reckon it won't be long before I'm back on form again :) It's currently 4.30 I've been up an hour getting ready for a photo shoot :) so I've had to grab some breakfast but...

Hi all, just an insight into my life atm and why dieting is a problem...it's currently 4.20am, I've been up an hour had to do full hair and makeup as I'm about to be picked up to go do a makeup for a sunrise shoot. Yesterday all I had time to eat was a hotdog that hubby did :/ my food intake is...

Well done latte!! Xx

I did try judd and had really adverse effects on me. My hair fell out I came out in ulcers, was run down and really poorly. Got shot down on judd threads for saying it was that diet but it was lol. It really disagreed with me big time. I was fainting and just don't see how anyone does it. Took...

My girls will only eat healthy stuff which is good but why is it so damn expensive?? I did a shop at get on today and spent £60 but fridge and cupboards are really full..and the freezer is overflowing haha mostly frozen veg. I'm honestly so busy with the makeup unfortunately it's unpaid but for...

Yes that would be great thanks hun. We live in a town but there isn't lots of jobs, they are just building an aldi so were trying to see if there's any jobs going there and a massive complex being built but it's gonna be years before its done seeing as they've not started building upwards yet...

Joys of kids at nursery Sparty!! Lol. Glad you enjoyed your night out. Hope your not too skint!! Well hubby went back to work Friday and is on sick again today, his backs gone again. I aren't even worrying about it anymore. We have no money, at all. We're almost a grand over drawn, British gas...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO go annya go annya!!! Well bloody done!! That an amazing loss! Do chuffed for you :D Well, I have decided to put nursing on hold whilst the makeup thing is going well. I'm going to do what I planned to do last year and do the media hair n makeup course. It makes sense since I e...

Thanks loola but I think I'm going to switch course and do the makeup one haha. I did a photo shoot on Tuesday and my makeup thing has really taken off and I can't do both. I've already invested ALOT of money into the makeup so am Going to ring college tomorrow and talk to them. Whatever course...

Why don't you just not go at the weekend? Instead of stressing yourself out about going and spending money you really don't have just say your not going. It's silly to spend money on booze when you can't afford to buy food?! And if your mates don't understand then tough, let them fall out with...

Woohoo well done latte!!!!! That must feel good to Benin the next stone bracket. I've not weighed in as I haven't had chance. I am going to try to make the new group Thursday morning

Aw thanks guys :) super proud of myself and next week I'm doing a photo shoot and it's getting published in a bridal mag apparently :) the only downside is its a 4.30AM pick up!!!!! Argh ill have to get up at 330 to get ready :( At the minute I just don't have that pull to lose weight. I'm not...

This is an access to nursing, and a gcse maths alongside. In your first week you get 5 assignments it's really full on lol. I might regret it come September ;)

My god I can't keep up with you all :) Quorn makes you fart?? Haha!! I love you guys!! I didnt weigh in tonight. I was doing a photo shoot and by time we finished at 4 I was knackered had a migraine and hadnt eaten all day. So had a pizza and chips n a bit if cake :( oops. Learn a...

Today I have taken chicken cacciatore out for my tea. I'm really busy so I plan on making it this afternoon so I can just eat straight away when I get home tonight after a MATHS test EEK!!!!!!

The only exercise I've done that's sped up Losses has been fast walking and running. Any exercises where I'm using weights or strength etc I just don't lose but I get smaller and that's the point isn't it? I don't care what the scales saying if I'm a toned 10 :) whichnim not :( Welcome Jessie...

When he met me I was slimmer than I am now I gained weight through pregnancy really. But he isn't bothered if I'm big or skinny bless his heart x

I've done a big food shop today to come tomorrow and made a list from the recipes out the mag to try abd get me motivated again. It's hormonal I know it is. I'm just staying a bit quieter until I can stabilise my mood a bit. Glad to see your doing well hun xx

Well I was so hungry last night I ordered pizza and ate the lot! Finally felt full after days of hunger. Got weighed this morning and I'm 10.63/4 which is a miracle. I've had a good think and sat and read my Mag and decided to stop messing about switching diets. I'm sticking to Sw, so made a...

This diary is in cc abd I'm doing Sw, so had to do another, again lol. The link in in my sig x

Ok so here goes, day 1. Armed with my magazine I'm going to make a shopping list :) want to try out new recipes to keep Me interested.

i have had more diarys than hot meals but i have decided today that enough is enough, im sticking with slimming world and am going to have this diary and commit myself to posting what i eat every day. i WILL get to blooming target. so far.....i started in may 2011 weighing 14 stone lost 2.5...

tomorrow is a new start...ive been sooo rubbish but enough is enough now. get paid tomorrow so can go shopping yay!!!!!! going to look through the sw mag and get some ideas for meals that i fancy rather than eating the same old same old.

Well Done on the exercise front. The warmer weather always helps doesnt it?? I've been SOOO cold this week and today it's snowed quite a lot. Was planning to go running tomorrow grr

Ooh yum BNS

Well done Sparty :) I'm just having carrot and tomato soup, homemade

Sounds like a plan. I gained a pound this week too. I am feeling back in control, I'm making myself eat brekkie this week it's my goal each day, cos I have been not eating until 5 then can't stop cos I'm so hungry. Had a good day yesterday ang today so far is going well x

We've maxed ours out felicity, since Steve went on sick I had to cancel all our creditors ang ask for a payment break. They were really nice so far...but we really need to start paying some back but if he's unable to return to that job there's no way we can pay then all so I don't know what well...

Oh I faced my scales this morning which have been the same as Sw and I've gained a pound and a quarter. Pleased with that as I was sure it was 7 pound haha.

Mm strange. Perhaps tough love isn't the way forward eh? There's about 4 of us left lol. Think everyone else has fallen off the wagon. Well do e Sparty that's a great day. I am back doing MFP alongside Sw to give that extra push. I've had a chat with my running partner and were both gonna give...

Well done latte xxx

And bonnie

I've been really good today. Used all my syns and hexa's but not gone over and notnpigged out :) feel so flabby from the weekend though :/ lots of fluids to flush the carb bloat away. We do need to get back on track tho peeps :) Where the bleep is rod and faery?

Today's food: Breakfast: coffee with dash if milk 1 syn Dinner 2 wholemeal slices HEXB beef and mustard 1 syn, light spread 2 syns, mug shot Tea: jacket potato, king prawns, 75g light Philly hexa, tomato, jalapeño, cucumber, pepper So Far 4 syns

Well I e been totally and utterly rubbish at following any eating plan. Think I need a double whammy plan of attack Sw and cc to tackle it. I'm tired and soooo hungry all the time. Not sure what's wrong with me :/ stupid weather lol

Oh Sparty I'm doing crapola too. Just sooooo hungry and lethargic. I blame the knock on effect of the alcohol at weekend. I can't make weigh in tonight as we literally have no money but I know I've gained and I deserve to. Today I'm back on it, and really having to fight with myself. WE NEED THE...

Haha annya I ate LOADS last night. And today I was physically hungry again but I'm not giving in today. I'm not gonna make weigh in tonight we have MINUS £1000 in the bank so not a spare penny :( plus I'm not borrowing money to see a gain that's just depressing lol. It is definitely the weather...

Kath 2 pound is brilliant! Well done Pom on the loss x My name is Louise and I can't stop eating! Help!! Lol honestly my appetite is through the roof. If I haven't gained this week I'll faint.

I'm just under 5 foot 6, it certainly does all add up , ppl moan about 'only' losing a pound a week, mine averages out at about half a pound a week I think but when you see the results it's worth it :)

Thanks xx

Thank you very much :) xxx

Yeah I have free weights, ill start doing some every night, ill get that app and have a look cheers hunni x

I'd love to go swimming but I can't afford it, well not more than once a week, and I was a member at the leisure centre but cancelled cos we couldn't afford it but didnt give 3 mo this notice so I'm still paying that off so I can't even do a membership. It has to be exercise that's free ;)

Thanks Pom and charl. The arms is defo fat not skin, I just don't seem to lose weight off there until the last but, I carry my weight pretty evenly but it seems to come off randomly. My friend is a good 2 stone heavier than me get her arms are much slimmer, it's really weird. I never used to...

The thing is I feel ok the weight I am and in clothes I know I look ok, but I want rid of the back fat, the overhang over my Bra, the bingo wings and the belly that sometimes escapes over my jeans lol. I want to feel happy with my weight, not just ok. I won't give up but it does worry me that...

From 14 stone to 10.5, goal weight 9 stone (ish) or size 10 whatever comes first :) The first before pic I was 14 stone, the second I'm around 13 stone, I don't even recognise myself!! The second before pic (where I'm wearing the white coat) I cried when I saw it, I couldn't believe I let...

Charl you may have just been bloated on that particular day hun, it's quite normal for weight to fluctuate by 5 pounds, it doesn't necessarily mean you've not lost any weight, it could be water retention. Defo cut the millers out though! They are the devil lol. I've been totally off plan since...

I'm not sure really, I'm just taking it a week at a time, I need toning up More than anything really, so need to start motivating myself to do something, I want to get into the 9s abd I set my target at 9 stone but I reckon ill stop before that cos I don't want to go skinny, I like having curves...

Progress pic, me last night, weighing 10.5. Size 12 skirt and size 10 top :)

I do sit and eat with them at tea time, it's just through the day I'm not physically hungry so I use the time to do other things.

Hi latte :) I've been completely rubbish this week, I really need to get a grip!! X

Yeah I just use the times they eat to clean up as its the only time they aren't running rings around me lol. Your right though I do need to get back into a routine. I just don't like eating when I'm not hungry cos I do t agree with it but the problem is I'm so busy I'm not noticing when I'm...

I'm losing the plot!! I'm literally forgetting to eat tik tea time then am starving. I sat for ages today trying to figure out if I'd eaten cos I honestly couldn't remember. I'm just so busy. Then had a Sw tea then had 3 bags if cheap monster Munch crisps and half a bottle if wine ffs, then had...

I steer clear of bananas and millers. They make me gsin, the only time ill have a banana is in place of breakfast if I'm in a rush. I try to snack on apples as it satisfies that crunch craving when you just want to eat something snacky. Pink ladies are great if y have a sweet tooth.

Bug hugs, it's not personal hunni some people just don't think darl, I'm sure they never meant to upset anyone, I don't think they even read any of the replies tbh. Best to just ignore it. Now your steroids are getting reduced I'm sure it will gradually get a bit easier for you xx

No I do t ever do it every day as I'm A believer in rest days between exercise, once you got used to it after a few months then I'd do it every day but certainly not from the off. You do do ALOT of jumping though I must say but it's not for long, it's only 3 sets of 2 minutes. Yes I could do sit...

yes im with you, im not going running tonight though as honestly and yes this is a cop out but i cant cope with the cold!!! i think its cos im not eating properly, im literally shaking all the time, im currentlky sat with a blanket around me! i have done 4 hours intense cleaning today at work...

sorry for late reply....whens your weigh in hun? i am on lappy so ill subscribe to your thread as i can see youve got a link....i cant see that on my phone lol ive been SH1T the last couple of days, had takeaway tuesday night, last night had 2 puddings at mums haha. been good today and done 4...

well said. im still trying to lose the 9 i gained since december too :( i am so pleased at losing a pound a week since back at sw though i must say, a pound a week to me IS a lot...a pound and a half is ace! thats half a stone a month! if id lost a pound a week regularly i would have been at...

Another pound down :) 6 in 4 weeks!!

Sorry to hear your having a rubbish time of it :( I know that certainly affects my motivation and desire to eat well, sounds like you e gotten away with a very small gsin so nip it in the bud before that small gain turns into a large one and your motivation lessens further. I think exercise is...

Thanks for the well dones :) Pom, I think losing and gaining the same pound is the same as maintaining, your not steadily going up in weight it's just fluctuating naturally with the rhythm of your body, it's normal to retain fluid and if your a bit constipated that won't help. Try having a...

I've not strictly been following Sw and I need to cos my skin has gone bab, but I'm bit gorging so it's paying off. I did have a takeaway tonight cos I had to leave Sw early due to stomach cramps, so I git a pasta in a tomato sauce with olives no cream, I did have some chips abd a piece or 3 of...

i lost another pound :)

Hi peeps and hi newbies!! I went to weigh in despite having awful stomach cramps, I've lost a pound again WOOO, really pleased. The weigh in lady said slow and steady wins the race, I said a pound a week isn't slow, that's really good I'm well chuffed ;) lol I know ALOT of ppl think a pound is...

That does not a diet break. Put it in context, it wasnt a binge, yes it wasn't planned and it has probably taken you over syns but your not going to regain all the weight you've lost so far because of 1 choccie bar. Just try to work out why you slipped up and put plans in place to not do it...

Sounds like you made the best choices you could to endure you enjoyed yourself. Being on a diet doesn't mean never drinking or eating anything that's deemed as bad it's about keeping those times to a minimum and not over indulging. Moderation and being sensible. Well done hun xxx

Aw thanks hun, it wasnt an out if control binge I chose to have a treat cos I just felt so fed up and I wanted some tiny pleasure lol. I enjoyed it and I didn't binge, today all I had was a Sunday lunch and glass of wine so not continued it on. Don't think ill have a loss again this week but...

I've been terrible today and I don't give a sh1te, im having a horrific start to the year. All the job problens, my tv broke just before Xmas, the new one we got was faulty, I ordered some better brushes for makeup they was faulty so I complained then because I complained they refused to send me...

Tut what's he like!!!! Let him do it hell soon realise your right! Like big bloody kids are men arent they?! Walking is probably what the drs meant by starting to exercise lol, he needs to build it up or hell do more damage but no doubt you've said all thus abd he thinks he knows best lol. Good...

I'm currently 10.6, I set my target at 9, but I will prob stop before then. Just playing it by ear. Yes I have 3 kids, a giant for a hubby and one of my kids is a teen so food costs in excess of £130 each week then there's the extras on between, but apparently when on sick £85 is sufficient to...

I would batch cook but tbh were really skint and im just having to buy as and when. Hubby's off sick so were living on a pittance :( I'm so stressed I don't have the inclination to dedicate time to it I'm too busy job searching, doing 2 jobs, applying at college etc so I'm just muddling through...

Think they've all fallen off the wagon but daren't fess up!!! WIMPS! Yesterday was a weird day food wise, was running about so had ww macaroni cheese for lunch and my left over curry which was mostly superfree for tea, then I had a kit Kat lol. My cals will have been very low but my syns were...

Hahaha :) done xx

How was your curry Sparty x

Yay I git a gold star!!! I'm totally with you on the head space, I hate the phrase self sabotage but I do seem to have some weird behaviours when I ha e a good loss. I suddenly start thinking I can eat what I want as I've lost weight??? Not sure what that's all about lol. On the stopping smoking...

How's today been? Did you manage to stay on plan?? I'm having a terrible time again :( hubby's on sick again today and were in a right mess with money. I refuse to get down, I'm trying to tell myself that everything happens for a reason! Eurgh.

Nice to see you felicity my wine partner!!! I gained 9 pou d just over Christmas I would t worry ;)

Your doing amazing!!! Really proud of you!! Just one little pound!! That's brill. Can't wait til I'm a pound away from target. I need the warmer weather I always get a spurt on with my weight loss in summer then winter tend to gain or sts, so when I reach target I shouldn't find it hard...

Ps well done hunni!! Your doing fab xx

Haha Sparty we must have both done something right around our naughtiness. I had 375ml of wine last night which is 13.5 syns, and a creme egg lol, I usually eat loads on weigh in night but my tea was success expressed so I just had a mini dalliance whilst visiting a friend. Quite pleased I...

:( I'm sooooo coming back a bloke!! I suffer with pms and my weight goes haywire for 3 weeks, I can eat exactly the sane but gain upto 5 pounds it awful. I've literally just come off and I feel like I'm gonna come back on again :/ I'd love to be one of these women who have normal periods lol I...

How have you got on hun? Xx

Thanks. Ill be really chuffed if I can keep up with a pound a week but as it's taken me 21 months to lose 50 pounds, which is roughly half a pound a week (I think my maths is shoddy) I do t think it will stay, ill start pms phase in roughly 2 weeks cue crazy Lou and crazy fluctuations for 3...

Hurray hubby's still got a job. We can eat!! Lost another pound. Gonna give success express a go this week.

I lost another pound :D

Tbf I hardly are until last night lol. I'm more than happy with a pound a week, in 20 weeks I'd be at target!!! That would be perfect x

Lost another pound. Miracles happen!

You'll have a great loss. I did when I switched from Sw to cc. I'm back to Sw again now cosni found I was eating rubbish on cc lol

Wait til official weigh in but it is common to have a slight gain when starting exercise. Keep at it, if you know your doing it right then it's prob just a silly fluctuation

I've had a horrid week. Been in limbo about hubby's job, just found today that he's kept it, but I've been so stressed that I haven't been eatin or drinking cis I felt sick all the time, then last night I went in a binge. So ill have to deal with the consequences at weigh in tonight :( I reckon...

I've had a bit of chocolate :/ I'm now full of cold abd days if not eating have left me ravenous. I reckon I e gained this week. I need to get some cheap Sw food in tomorrow!!!! Haha I know what u mean about weekends I really struggle too!!

I've been a bit all over the place, certainly not over eating, under eating really but not Sw stuff and I feel pants again, really tired and poorly so I think I need more fruit and veg in my life!! Got an interview on Thursday for the access course to nursing and trying to plug my makeup...

Yes thanks Ali hun, the only indulgence I had was 2 gin and slimline tonics and 3 bottles of beer, 1 bun and half a flute of Buck's Fizz, haven't had time to eat much if anything as I'm so Busy atm but i am determined to follow it better from today. I even had breakfast for the first time in...

I find flexi synning impossible when drunk. I think you will lose still, your doing really well :) well do e for showing restraint with pud and champers. I would have been able to resist pud but not champers lol x

how did you do sparty? i had 2 g and slimline tonics, and 3 bottles of beer last night then came home and had a sw friendly sarnie lol, today all ive had is fish and mushy peas and a bun as ive been doing a bridal shoot all afternoon, im exhausted and feel dehydrated so need to drink!! i feel i...

Ah crap lol. Looks like grannieannie has done it though!! 9.5 in 3 weeks!!! Amazing! X

Right peeps its the weekend, lets make the best choices we can, no excuses, no giving in, you might think you don't care for that time your enjoying it but how will you feel on the scales next week?? Lets make this week the one for the biggest losses!! Where is rod? Pussy lover sue? Bonnie...

Well done charl :) I'm having a pants time atm. Hubby has lost his job, but it's really Complicated, I'm trying to make a go of the make up thing but it's costing more than I'm making, were upto our necks in debt and I feel like hiding under my duvet until it all goes away. Been applying like...

im here. been cal counting agin today, just didnt have time to do sw, been out all day job hunting and promoting the makeup business. feel like a headless chicken atm.

Well done annya!!! Xx

id personally go for the mackerel, i know mackerel is syns but because its already oily i doubt they will add oil too it and it comes with veg, the pepper im betting will have some sort of butter or oil....you can always ask the waitor or ring ahead if your embarrassed to ask and ask if they use...

well done sparty!

Well I was 10.2 the beginning if December and I'm 10.7 now. Had the bathroom ripped out today and not had any water until 5 the kids were screaming and I am exhausted so had takeaway, not very good really but I've not had much else and am not having anything else. Tomorrow is another busy day so...

Well done latte!!!! That's the spirit annya!!! X

Sparty if it ain't broke don't fix it!!! Whatever your doing has worked, why cut back even further when you clearly do t need to? Like you just said to me about not eating enough...if you up your exercise and decrease cals it may not have the effect you want if you decrease it too much plus...

Really pleased cos I've been totally rubbish diet wise just eating what I fancy and whatever will stay down lol. How u doing x

A pound off!

Lost a pound this week :)

Think it's this bug I've had. I've lost a pound this week, need to get going with it better than I have been. I'm not eating enough.

hey sparty!! im doing ok, still got no appetite at all, havent managed to eat a thing today :( dont know whats wrong with me.

I'm getting cabin fever, I just can't bear going out in it with a pram and a 3 year old on foot who can't walk very well. I end up so stressed so cold from walking at a snails pace and it's so awful I tend to stay in. Got to drag myself out tomorrow though before I go nuts

Well done emmie!! Go Emma!! We've planned to start running after this week, let me fully recover and the snow to melt, I'm really missing it :(

Good lass Sparty! You'll be ok I'm sure. I always work my cals out too cis the last Sunday I'd gone over syns with my Sunday dinner but when I worked out my actual cals if had 1200??? It was just cos I'd had stuffing, yorkshires etc I still lost 3 this week I'm so drained. Having a really...

Very very true!! You trooper! Pom bloat is the worst!!! It'll be off soon!! Avoid those carbs and I bet y see a big drop hun. I'm having my first period in 7 bloody weeks, it's a bad one, I feel so ill, I think I've had a bug too and I've been in bed all afternoon, I could have just slept...

My noodle soup was Delish!!!! Even the hubby liked it!! Really suffering today feel drained and got bad tummy cramps.

That sounds really scary!!!! :(

Hi patty, post what u like but beware...excuses don't get tolerated, effort gets praised, and results get cheered. Sparty, so your over weekly by 20 with 2 or 3 days left...that was more than the couple of syns over you said you'd gone lol. You cant blame the wine at the funeral as that was...

Made noodle soup for tomorrow. And got lots of yogurts and fruit in so no excuse to stray :) I will be posting my meals again, gonna try success expressing as many as I can

How many syns are you over for the week? And weigh in is on a Wednesday so why are u still going over last Monday?? Are u sure your bit just having a post weekend, pre weigh in freak out?

You deserve a medal loola, there's no way I coukddo what your doing. I can't comment on your financial situation as were all different but for us tax credits is a huge help, and if I were to take a full time job wed actually be no better off financially... Might be worth checking out the...

Yesterday was a write off, so poorly, shoukd have known I was coming down with something on Friday when I felt rubbish. Was sick yesterday and tried eating fruit but it just came straight back up, had lucozade and bread really cos that's about all I could manage. Today I'm trying to get back...

Loola, I think your body is telling you it's out if energy love, that's too much work to do around being a mum full time in the day, I know when I was at takeaway on a night and with the kids all day my diet really Suffered, I was just do tired and the thought of working out what is eaten was to...

Eurgh I'm so ill :/ no energy, nausea, aching etc. times like this I wished my hubby could cook. How's everyone else this weekend

I think faery has been in England fir a few weeks? I'm sure shell be back on it when she gets home I have been really poorly today, I had a drink last night, not loads but I had port, never drank it before and I won't again! Throwing up til early afternoon, couldn't even keep water down. I'm...

:( annya I really feel for you, big hugs hunni xx

Loola???? Have you fallen off the wagon?

Annya that sounds really really tough hun, I think your amazing and really strong, I would have given up with the food thing a long time ago, the fact you put up with being hungry all the time just so you don't gain is nothing short of inspirational. A lady I know has to take high steroids in...

Are you formerly known as getting fit??

So far so good this week. Been rubbish with my food diary on here, just really busy. Having a green day cos I'm cold and in need of comfort food

I have had a pasta n sauce so far, that's it. I'm drained and feel fluey. Hot jacket potato beans abd cheese for tea with salad. I really want a takeaway but I wont

Keep going Emma, don't give in hun. I've been good so far today. Been an emotional day, but determined to stick to plan. My shopping is t coming until tea time tomorrow so gonna have to hunt down something decent to have

I never used to like running until I started buildingnit up following a programme, I know where I'm at and what I'm aiming fir so it makes it easier and I'm not over doing it. I like putting my music on and just forgetting about the world for half an hour. Well more fooking snow coming...

Yeah I'm I'm Yorkshire, we always get it bad here it's the ice I can't stand, it lingers on fir ages!!!

I lost 3 pound my first week back at Sw x

I went over syns lol. I'm struggling to get into it tbh. I'm so hungry, my Period is looooooong over due, It's really messing with my appetite :(

No it's really thick ice where I am I slipped 5 times doing the nursery run, it's completely treacherous. My next planned run was meant to be tomorrow but unless I buy a pair if ice skates ir it melts over night I won't be going lol. After that its Sunday...really hope it's clear by then I'm...

yes the 30ds would definitely work if you didnt do it every day and imo the fact its marketed as doing it every day is why so many ppl only manage a few days of it, your body needs rest days and its intense. well done girly on your loss!!!!!!!

3 pound down!!

Thanks hun. Your turn tomorrow.

I am aiming for any loss tbh I'm in healthy range abd 3 pound a week every week ain't gonna happen haha...although it would be nice as I'd be at target in 2 months haha

Ha 3 off woo

Well I'm Weighing in soon I'm sure I will be showing a gain, I'm over syns for the week due to poor planning, and not shopping. I'm starting lady fun time but unfortunately for me as I'm all over the shop it can take 2 weeks to sort itself out...without going into detail. I feel healthier and...

Dinner

Hi Tina :) Weigh in tomorrow, I feel bloated and yuk, doing the okey cokey with lady fun time, and not feeling great. Been ok but could have been better. Been out running 4 times this last week, did just under 5k each time, not running the while time but building it up slowly. Meant to be out...

Breakfast-wholemeal bread and marmalade HEXB and 1 syns Dinner- home made Sw courgette quiche with salad and salad cream...HEXA for the soft cheese and 3 syns for the salad cream Tea-chicken casserole and jacket potato

Just worked my cals out for today, I've had 1209, so even though my syns are high I'm not gonna gain weight lol

Have been totally rubbish this weekend, down to lack of planning and time. I've gone over weekly syns by around 20, but only have tomorrow until the syn count is reset. Next week I am NOT waiting until Sunday to do my shopping. I'm at a friends Saturday night so need to plan for this. I haven't...

Started lady fun time tonight, got a feeling my weigh in will be rubbish now, I'm craving chocolate and carbs. I'm so coming back a bloke

I've made Sw chips and had some cheese on top. I would rather had superfree but at least I'm not eating syns. Lady fun time just started woo :( x

IM STARVING. On an extra easy day but Nowt in :(

How's hubby Pom

Well done annya!!! Charl I put exactly the same on as you when I weighed in on Tuesday. Was s bit shocked as I honestly didnt think I'd eaten loads but what I are was crap tbh and I think that's the difference. Good luck hope u manage to get it back Off quickly. Wanted to ask ..other than your...
