Thank you, very much for your kind words. HowEVER - someone else asked me if I was pregnant at the wedding yesterday - as I was leaving he asked when the baby was due - then when I said I wasn't pregnant he tried to wriggle his way out of it saying he thought someone had told him that earlier...

Grrrr - why not kick a girl when she's down? I was working at a christening today and someone asked if I was pregnant. And there goes my motivation that I spoke about yesterday :( Day 52 - Sunday - Green - Syns 6.5 (59/70) Breakfast: FF Onken vanilla strawberries, banana, blueberries Lunch...

I saw it somewhere on here and now its my fave thing 0% greek yoghurt + 1 sachet of white chocolate options (2 syns) YUM on its own, or for added yumminess add 1 meringue nest (2.5 syns) and berries. I'm another which cant stand the sweetner taste so will watch this thread with interest

Ahh, thank you so much - that's really kind of you, and lovely. I'm afraid it is true - we haven't been happy for a while - we just can't seem to live with each other. It's a shame as we have 2 kids but we're still great friends and hopefully will both end up happier. I know its the right thing...

I drink loads - maybe 6+ pints a day. I don't really do any exercise, but running around after the 2 kids is a little bit - and we walk lots (mostly round Bluewater haha). It's just finding the time. I will try to add some in this week somehow. Im SUPER busy with work and I think the stress...

Back from WI, lost 0.5lbs - GAH! I know, a loss is a loss - but every other week Im losing 0.5lbs and Im sticking to it 100% so I don't know why or how I can change it so I get consistent losses each week. Week Eight Start Weight: 10st 12lbs Current Weight: 10st 1lb Goal Weight: 9st 7lbs...

I think officially it should count as July - but that's been and gone, and it will help me as Im going to V Fest so I know that last week WI in August is gonna be a write off!

well done on your loss :) I hate it when I feel I have been super good and then don't get a big loss - but you never know, if you keep it up you might get that good loss next week. Like you say, a loss is still a loss - and if you'd put on 1lb you'd be gutted! So well done :D

Thank you Janie :D

YUM! Thanks so much :)

I had WI this morning and lost 2lbs. Im pleased with it, because it's a good loss - but disappointed because I did a fishy week and it didn't give me the boost it seems to be giving everyone else! I need to try and focus on the fact that I wouldn't be disappointed if I hadn't been doing the fish...

Weighed in this morning, lost 2lbs - which Im pleased with, but thought after fishy week it'd be more - so Im not going to continue with it

Well done on the fabulous losses ladies! My weigh in is in the morning - if my home scales are anything to go by, I have a nice loss - nothing amazing but still a good loss, and I've enjoyed fishy week, as well as adding a few new recipes to my repertoire! Thanks snuggles - will report back in...

This is what I made today I'm quite proud of myself that I didn't scoff half the lot down my neck, which is what I usually would have done. Now I just need to hope the leftovers get eaten up quick by the rest of the household!

Have a fantastic holiday :) Xxxx

YAY! Well done you! I love that 'I lost, I lost' high! Enjoy :D

I don't know - I try not to have more than 2 a day though - I always have yoghurt with my breakfast - over 2 crumbled up weetabix with fruit on the top.... and then maybe one after dinner

Well done Jane! I had the speedy prawn curry tonight - it was gorgeous!

Tomorrow's going to be a bit of a test for me - making batches of biscuits and rocky road for my son to give his teachers - no licking the spoon! Then, in the afternoon I'm having six fillings :o! I've never had one before so no idea if it's going to affect anything like if I can chew for a while?!

Yum yum yum , Capricorn can I come to yours for the week - your food looks lovely! Day 2 of Fishy Week for me, and enjoying it so far. Going to have prawn curry tonight I think, with savoury rice and some veg. Im really tired so hoping that it's simple. Fantastic losses ladies!

that's my worry too. When I told my OH I was going to test a theory and having a fishy week his response was 'oh great, the house is going to stink!'

Hi Janie, you may recognise me from The Pink Place ;) best of luck, menus looking fab!

They were delicious! I used the George Foreman and got a whole tray of fat (yuck!) - I cooked them until all the fat had dripped off, and they didn't taste fatty - so Im going to leave it as that. They were AMAZING! Lamb Burgers with Minted Yoghurt and a Feta Salad | Slimming Eats with the mint...

Well, I could only find lamb mince - not even lean. Im going to chance it, and I think I'll cook the burgers on the George Foreman grill to make sure as much fat comes out as poss. Do you think it'll be ok?

10st10lbs - 7.5lbs to lose, 2.5lbs lost! happyhippo - 7lbs to lose, 1lb lost! emma-louise - 6lbs to lose, 2lb lost! cantstopgaining - 7lbs to lose, 1lb lost! emily87 - 8lbs to lose, 2.5lbs lost! Dumpylump - 5.5lbs to lose, 2.5lbs lost! Shrinking_Bev - 5.5lbs to lose, 4.5lbs lost...

Here's my menu plan so I can do my shopping - if anyone else finds it useful, might swap the meals round depending on when it goes off: Tuesday Lunch: salad with tuna and balsamic vinegar Dinner: Prawn & veg stir fry with noodles Wednesday: Lunch: Pasta with tinned salmon and peas Dinner...

It's nice with balsamic vinegar too Im going to start fishy week this week too - apart from dinner tonight as I already have lamb - just about to devise a menu plan for the week :D

Ahhhh, thank you :o :) I just got back from WI, and lost 0.5lbs. I know it's not great, but Im happy - for some reason I was expecting a gain - I had a good loss last week and I just have to remember that. I nearly cried twice at WI - once, there's a 66 year old man there, his daughter in law...

Well I got a loaf, but then discovered its not a HexB, so that was the end of that idea! Had the pork sausages for brekkie and they're nice! Not quite the same as 'normal' sausages, but a nice diet version. Kids liked them too. I did chuck the curry powder in too :D but there were 6TBSP of...

Oh poo! Guess what the kids are having for their sarnies this week then ;) thank you x

I knew some WW bread could be classed as a HexB, and in my panic, ended up buying the Malted Danish - have got home, looked in my book and can see it's the only one that isn't listed..... does anyone know? I really want a 'fry up' for brekkie so would be fab if it is!

Yes, leave it up! Why not 'ey?!! The workout was ok, had to stop after 20 mins of different kind of crunches, and did some Wii Fit which I far preferred - think I will try to incorporate the Super Hula Hoop into every day at least. I bought a DVD thats lots of 10 min ab workouts so I will try...

Hello pretty lady! You have an avatar :D yay! Don't know what you were worried about! Sorry you're losing motivation for the exercise..... do you think it's because you had a gain this week? I get like that too. But remember what you told me yesterday - it will make you feel better...

ergh - I really don't like eggs. I can stomach scrambled, but anything more eggy just won't cut it. The diet I did before this was Pig to Twig - very Akinsesque, and as eggs were allowed on it, I ate a fair few omlettes - even last week when I made an omlette it made my stomach turn! I think...

Thank you very much, will deffo try it :) I'm feeling good today. Tired, and terrible toothache and period pains, but I feel good - proud that I've got this far being 100%, and although I don't fit in all my pre-pregnancy clothes I feel a lot better in my clothes, my face seems to have slimmed...

Oh, I didn't realised it 'helped'... might have to get me some of that too!

Sorry but I thought they were horrid! The taste of sweetener was too over powering for me and I ended up chucking them

That's a good idea making it with beef - all the lamb shoulder I found looked a little fatty. I bought some anyway as it looks so nice! Will be making it tomorrow night - let us know what you think!

Thanks for that tip! I made the sweet and sour pork and noodles tonight - delicious!

I bet if you stick at it it will show at the scales next week.

yes

I do my shopping online with Tesco - they don't have it, nor do Ocado - been into Asda, M&S and my local butcher and they only seem to have normal lamb mince

You could just syn the other HEB that you had earlier

Can anyone tell me where to find it? There are some recipes in the new mag I want to try, and Britmums Minted Lamb Burgers, but I can't seem to find extra lean (or just lean, for that matter) lamb mince aaaaaanywhere :confused:

I have all the ingredients for the lamb burgers but can't find extra lean lamb mince ANYWHERE - Im making it my mission to try to track it down, as you've made me NEED them!

Im sorry to hear you gained 1lb :( Do you know what it could be down to?

Oooh yum - do you know off hand how many syns in it? Another hungry hungry day today. Eeeeek. Day 29 - Thursday - Extra Easy - Syns 5 (24.5/40) Breakfast: 2 Weetabix (HexB) Mullerlight Strawberries Raspberries Blueberries Grapes Lunch: Jacket potato with bolognese & 41g low fat cheese (HexA)...

I have this in the oven, now - thanks - can't wait!

wow it's a fantastic loss! I have a big order coming from Joe's, so I think I will start my fishy week once I've eaten some of that stuff. So starting in 2 Mondays times - excited! The tuna recipe in the new mag looks lovely

Lovely dress - bet it looks gorgeous on you! x

I loosely followed the recipe for the carbonara - I changed the ham for bacon, and added some peas in too - it was delicious, everyone in my family loved it. There are a few lamby things in there I want to try but I can't find extra lean lamb mince anywhere :(

Sorry, forgot to answer this. When I was mixing it together it went a bit stringy - Im not very experienced in Quark, and I didn't think it would be 'cheesy' really - the sauce was ok but maybe next time I'd use low fat fromage frais

Ahhh ok, well at least there's a reason - and the old * turned up this morning so I think its safe to say I'll have a raging appetite for the rest of the week, at least! I wonder how this will affect my weight-loss. Day 28 - Wednesday - Extra Easy - Syns 5.5 (19.5/30) Breakfast: 2 Weetabix...

I have eaten SO much this evening. I don't get it - I know last week I ate loads and lost weight, but I feel like Im being naughty. I could still eat my whole dinner again - wtf is going on? Only thing I can think of is that my * week is due in a few days.... but then surely that wouldn't have...

Im really sorry to hear that :( How about trying a fishy week (as is currently being discussed on the main SW Board on MiniMins 'my fishy week' is what the thread is called). Im going to try it at some point

Thanks so much - Ive been getting bored with water while I waited to find out ;) I agree - you're an inspiration and you always have lovely things to say about everyone and always pop in and see how people are doing, pick people up when they're losing motivation... Im glad you're here :) x

oOOOooh can I ask a question about the NAS squash? I've always bought Robinsons Special R NAS squash - I sent my OH out yesterday for more and he came back with Robinsons NAS Squash (i.e. not Special R) is that still ok?

:D Thanks! Once I get into the 9's I think I may purchase something else ;) Day 28 - Tuesday - Extra Easy - Syns 7 (14/20) Breakfast: 2 Weetabix (HexB) Mullerlight Strawberries Blueberries Raspberries Grapes Lunch: Jacket potato with tuna 2 tbsp extra light mayo (1 syn) 42g reduced fat cheese...

Ooooh, interesting indeed! I eat a lot of tuna (salads and in jacket potatos) and have salmon fillets for dinner - but no other fishes really. I think I'll check some more recipes out! Have you been doing it as a Red week, or Extra Easy?

We're off to a wedding reception this evening, so Im going to try to eat before we go - only thing is this means eating at mums again, and brekkie too as she's babysitting so we'll stay there overnight... I've packed some stuff but she said she has pork and veg so fingers crossed! Not sure...

That recipe looks delicious - I am going to add it into my menu plan for next week, thanks! Good luck, hope it works for you :) What is SF fruit by the way, and please explain the whole rule - I don't get it!? So if you can't face veg, if you eat free fruit straight after this will count as...

I missed it but just had a look on Sky+ and the 2nd one is on tonight so have set to Record - thanks!

How do you get past this? I weighed in on Monday and lost 0.5lb which I was disappointed with, and ever since then I just feel HUNGRY the whole time. I have been eating fruit and staying within my syns to try to get rid of this - but I know it's not real hunger, it can't be because I'm eating...

Woo slight bonus, just realised I'd calculated my stones-->pounds wrongly, so I'd added an extra 2lbs to be lost on, which shouldn't be there! Could work out why I had more than 14lbs to lose when it was only a stone (idiot!)

Quite disappointed with a 0.5lb loss to be honest. I don't really know why - but Im guessing, from reading other posts here, that its just one of those things. This week I will try not to hold back with my syns so much - if it doesn't make a difference then there's no point! At least its going...

Thank you x :)

Thank you very much - I will bear that in mind next time I go to bed with 2 Babybels, forcing them down before I drop off! I will have to check out that episode - I can't imagine Im getting the vibration plate too.... well they certainly didn't ask me if I had room for one, but I won't say no...

Im sure I read somewhere about mixing balsamic vinegar with diet lemonade to make fake Pimms.

Thanks for the tip off, will add them to the shopping this week :)

Stop! Mini Milks are 1.5 syns?! SO going on my shopping list for next week! And what are Morning Coffees? When you do Wii Fit, what do you do? I have one, but its just gathering dust :o

Yum - think I will have to do a pitta pizza too. Hope you and your LO are feeling better soon

Oh, and where do you do Zumba online? I was going to classes but have had to stop and wont be able to start again for another few weeks - would love to be able to do it at home!

Hi Meli, your menus look delicious! Can I ask what Skinny Cow HC is? Hot choc powder?

Well done on your loss, must have been a lovely surprise!

Still not feeling great today - stayed home catching up on Sky+ while OH took the kids out for the day, I was much more tempted to pick - but I restrained myself! My BIL came over with OH at the end of the day and said "wow you've lost weight" (he only saw me two weeks ago) he said you can...

Thanks for the extra ideas - I have a few to pick from now :D Friday is in a barn, don't think they'll have a spare fridge for me - Saturday is a hotel so might be lucky there, but I can't chance it!

YUM! Thank you :)

great, thank you - will be getting me some of them!

Thanks so much for all the ideas - there are some great ones there! I think I will take a couple of Alpen Lights on each day, and a couple of Babybels as well as fruit and sticks of veg ;) for picking on if I get hungry - as well as loads of water. I think I might make the chicken and bacon...

I'm a photographer and next week have a wedding on Friday, and one the next day, on the Saturday. Normally the couple just provide me with a small meal - either what they're having, or a sandwich or something. I really don't want to undo my work for the sake of a couple of meals.... please can...

Still not feeling great today. The good thing with this is that its made me stop eating when Im full, rather than finish everything on my plate. Hope I can keep it up! Day 11 - Friday - Extra Easy - Syns 14 (30.5/50) Breakfast: 4 apricots 2 Weetabix (HexB) FF Bio Yoghurt Strawberries Pear...

Thank you Meli - from your ticker I see you're doing really well - I will check out your food diary for some inspiration! I went to a friend's daughters 4th birthday this afternoon and I didn't pick at annnnyyyything - didn't even lick the garlic butter off my fingers when passing my kids a...

1.5lbs for me - a bit disappointed as it was my first week and I was 100% but was told as I dont have much to lose it will come off slower

Urgh, men - my OH is trying to put weight on, drives me bloody mad! When I tell him to be supportive of me he says 'its simple, just dont eat as much and then you'll lose weight' grrrrrrrr!

Woopsie! I hate the things myself, but I think b.beans are free if you're doing Extra Easy / Green

just testing to see if my sig works

Thank you :) I lost 1.5lbs which Im pleased about, but goes to show that I must stick to it 100%, as I've done so this week and not had a massive loss. Someone in class said its because I dont have much to lose it will come off slower. Lets see. Onwards and downwards! I've ordered the Extra...

Thats deffo the start of it - Im sure it wont be long! My daughter started walking on Friday - I SO wasn't prepared and forgot how it changes things! What a lovely Fathers Day pressie :) That's amazing that your OH has lost that much weight too, did he want to lose weight, or was it...

I was just coming here to ask the same thing! Thanks ;)

I made an absolute schoolgirl error today - I had a Covent Garden Soup today (the tomato and basil) as I thought that it was a HexB it would be about 6syns, not looking at the quantities (idiot!) and went out straight after, only just looked in the book to find out syn value before dinner - 13...

Ahh ok I see - no worries if not, thanks :)

thank you :)

I started this week too :) good luck! The lamb and spinach curry sounds yum - think I'll have to track that book down!

Well it is Fathers Day isn't it - it will be good for them to have some father/daughter time :p

Do you have the recipe please?

Yum, this sounds gorgeous - adding to my menu plan for the week!

Please can you tell me where you get the syn free sausages from?

That's great news to hear that you're starting to fit into the next size down in trousers. I tried some on today and seem to need to drop 2 sizes - eeek! I know its rude, but I honestly think she thought I was pregnant! My belly is really quite rounded and I guess if I was looking at me I might...

MmMMmMMMMmMMMmmmm your planned binge sounds goooooood and fairly SW friendly too - enjoy! How old is your daughter? I have a 10.5 month old (and a 4 year old) so I know the feeling of being woken after a night out.... I think in future Im going to try to insist they go off to stay somewhere...

Ooopsie! That dress looks gorge on you, and I wish my belly was as flat as yours! When I was on holiday a few weeks ago someone asked me when my next baby was due :(! Have you noticed that it's gone down?

Well done to you and your son on your losses - that's absolutely fabulous, Im sure your house was a very happy one! You're really good to stick at it while you're away - goes to show how much you want to lose the weight - well done! I hope I can have the same amount of will power one day! Sorry...

Sorry to hear about the job but hopefully that's because there's something even better waiting for you round the corner :) Just wanted to say - 100 sit ups a day?! WOW! I don't think I can even manage 10!

Really!? In my Green book it says all varieties are 4.5 each on EE - I will check again..... ooooh I hope they are because they're yummy! Thanks :)

I started Slimming World on Monday and thought it would help to keep a track of what I'm eating and how I'm feeling. Start Weight: 10st 12oz Goal Weight: 9st 7oz Total to lose: 21lbs I've been sticking to Extra Easy and liking how much variety of food is allowed. Day 1. Monday. SYNS = 3.5...
