Well, I'm not doing hugely well at keeping up with my diary, but I am chuffed that my will power appears to have returned from it's holiday and is now functioning. I am a little apprehensive about the weekend however, having a weekend in Eastbourne as we are at a youthwork conference...

I know exactly what you mean about the going it alone thing - I couldn't afford after my 2nd week to keep going as I'm unemployed at the mo. I knew I could do it myself but I have to admit I felt a little cheated when I reached my half stone mark on Weds past as I didnt get any certificate :(...

Hi hun, just read your diary - you started pretty much at the weight I am now, and can I just say you look wonderful!! Certainly given me a bit of the kick up the jacksie that I need to keep going. I'm 7.5lbs down in 4 weeks, have had a week or so of blips and just want to get sorted and get it...

Hi all, I started on SW about 4 weeks ago at 18st 3.5lbs, I am now at 17st 10lbs - so I thought I would join you lovely people as we try to get to those lovely 16's :) xx

Hi Ems, just thought I would pop in and say hi! I've only been doing SW for 4 weeks and like you say - I stick with one food (well 2) my breakfast always ends up as wholemeal pitta and egg, and tea ends up being mushrooms and pasta etc etc in any way shape or form you can think of.... Passata...

Well, somehow, I have absolutely no idea how or why as I really don't deserve it , but weigh in showed another pound off - that's 7.5lbs in 4 weeks - half a stone and a bit!! Woo!! :) Today I am feeling extremely grateful and even more determined than ever to get right back on track and get this...

Hi hon, I just wanted to pop in say hi!!! I've only been doing SW for 4 weeks, have previously lost almost 2 stone on WW, but prefer SW's eating habits as it just feels healthier. I notice we've both got approx the same weight to shift, and I just wanted to say hi and encourage :) hope WI goes...

Hey Joanne, have just read through your diary, and it's really inspired me. I'm 4 weeks into this tomorrow, and I have had a week of nothing but struggle... I have about 7 stone to lose and sometimes just can't see it happening.. But I've just read your diary and so much of it sounds like me so...

I have done appalingly at keeping up to date on here - I havent got lost tho - I'm now sitting at 6.5lbs lost in 3 weeks - 4th weigh in tomorrow. I have had a week where I have almost eaten anything that moves, as well as that which doesn't.... It's * week and my body has gone completely cuckoo...

Mmmmmm..... been looking for something to make for my OH who is extremely fussy with what he eats, and is also frustratingly a 6 foot bean pole, so the sausages, peas and mash is absolutely perfect, some fab recipes in here, you've just made my life so much easier :) x

Hi Chezza :) Not been on for a few days as been staying up at my OH's for a few days, his parents are away for a week so been having a change of scenery lol...Unfortunately I dont get signal for my internet up at his so been going through withdrawal lol.. Unfortunately the plan isnt going so...

Sausage dinner wasn't as great tasting as I thought it would have been, need to get a sauce in it, was a bit dry lol.. That will be one I have to tweak to make it just right :) The baked bean lasagne looks quite scrummy, not quite sure about how my OH will take it as, although he loves baked...

4.5 off!! Woo!!! And it takes me into the 17's !! so unbelievably happy tonight, I swear I can feel the lack of that 4.5 lbs!! Roll on the next week :) xxx

Hi everyone, I have my first weigh in in about half an hour... It's taken me a while to get into it this week, having done WW before this, but I think I'm getting there, the mindset is changing. Heck, I scared myself earlier - came in feeling peckish, (normally I'd have headed straight to bread...

Wow, you've done really well hon :) I'm a week into it and being honest, I've struggled to get to grips with it, but reading everyone's diaries, it does work, so I'm feeling more determined to stick this out and get my head round it. Will pop in again soon :) xx

Hi hon, just popping in to say hi. Just read through your diary - you've done so so well :) I've only been on this for a week, and hope I can manage a success like yours :) x

Well, the weekend didn't quite work out very well, partly because I am still trying to get used to this new regime, and I'm slightly skint at the moment therefore struggling to buy enough of a variety of food to do it 'properly'.. And partly because I had a weekend of not really being at home...

Oooohh, steak with veg, yum yum :) Sounds so appealing! :) Really need to get started making some proper stuff up, problem being is my freezer is currently stocked with 'naughty' things, well, things that I wouldnt want to waste my syns on every day lol. If I could afford it I would just bin it...

Hi :) Thanks for stopping by :) Makes me feel less like I'm rambling away to myself (my young people and my other half accuse me of that frequently lol) I'm all for moral support, I love hearing how other people do things, and ideas and tips for recipes to stop the boringness that diet plans...

Have just sat and read through your diary, thanks for your lovely post in Chelle's diary :) You've done an amazing job, and all that bike riding, wow! :) I'm beginning to get this whole SW thing now, can't believe how unbelievably full I feel on a 'diet' of all things :) Still checking my book...

I was finding it really difficult to think outside of my little 'Weight Watchers' bubble that I got into from last time, so struggled to understand the SW way, now I see that SW prob has the best idea, it's more about healthy eating, and it will do me good to think of alternative ways to have...

Ok, so yesterday's day one didn't really work properly, really didn't have my head sorted - felt such a big change from Weight Watchers, but today I have a nice lot of shopping in, and am feeling far more ready to take this regime head on.. So - today so far I have scoffed: Breakfast...

Just popping in to say hi :wavey: You sound like you've got a better hang of this one than I have, was supposed to be first day yesterday, but I really struggled so bigger effort today to get it worked out properly. Anyway, enough waffling, hope you're having a great day :) xx

Hi hon, I just thought I would comment - just read through your diary, and having only signed up to SW for the first time yesterday, I've been struggling with what to do in terms of eating, but your diary has given me lots of inspiration and a renewed sense that this might actually work for me...

Thanks Texty_F :) I used Mini's when I did weightwatchers and found it to be invaluable in keeping me on the right road so I'm looking forward to getting on with it :) Well, proper day one of my new plan, not started brilliantly - need to remind myself to try and stock up the cupboards etc...

Hi :) I'm a newbie on Slimming World, only signed up today and have loads to lose... My advice is keep going, cos you will crack it :) I kicked myself the other day as I looked back at my diary from when I did Weight Watchers - I lost just under 2 stone, then let life get in the way, and here I...

Hi everyone, Well, I signed myself up for classes tonight, it was something that's been annoying me for a while - but I always manage to put it to the back of my mind and convince myself that I'm perfectly happy as I am..... Which is kinda true, but with what felt like an ever increasing waist...

Woo!!! Thanks Kals :o) Well, week one completed and I had weigh in at 1....result? 1 and half off, woo! Would have been more but i spent the week trying to sort myself out with the new plan before switching back to what I know best. Im happy tho, im about to need size 16 trousers :p XX

Lol, I just don't get the new system, old and trusted method worked before, and I'm sure it will prove the same this time :) Thanks V :) just needed to refocus myself really, took a break, and then realised that I was enjoying the smaller size more and more (plus the discovery I can now, for...

Dont listen to them if you know yourself that you were the correct weight the first time. When I started WW i lost 6.5 in my first week and 2.5 in my second as you tend to lose ur fluid first of all then it levels out. Feel proud of how well you've done, you deserve it :)

Ok, day 3.. I started again the other day with the new plan, however day 1 and 2 have basically been a disaster as for some reason i just cant get my head round the new system. For that reason Ive decided to continue on the old plan as i can understand it more, and it worked before lol.. So...

Dont quite know how I managed to get away with such a small increase, only reasoning is being out of work meaning im not sat at a desk all day and have done a lot of running around to do with my youth work stuff lol. My bridesmaid dress is a fab motivator, theyve ordered it two sizes too big and...

Hi everyone. Well its been a while, took a bit of a break for a while but am back, about 4 months later, having rejoined WW today weighing in at only 2 pounds over what I was when i stopped last year. Ive now left my job, and am currently seeking something new. My friend is getting married in...

Thanks guys, I'm gearing myself up to go and see my GP...Now just need to actually make the appointment...lol... The food side has taken a bit of a backseat just now which is annoying me, but I just need to get my head on an even keel again then I can focus on getting that sorted. I dont intend...

Ok so last week I spoke a little too soon and the past 6 or 7 days has been absolutely horrendous, I don't remember feeling like this for a very very long time.. I actually had a bit of a meltdown at work on fri afternoon (in the toilets, didnt want to comp freak everyone out..) and then...

Hey hon, hoping you've been relieved by now... :) Look after yourself, and remember the thing that I'm usually bad at remembering myself.. this whole weight loss malarky is a bit of a marathon, not a sprint.. but we WILL reach the finish line :) xxx

Feel like I've not been here forever!! Oooohhh...intrigued to hear about ur special night?? Do tell??! :) xx

<<sneaks back in like a naughty school kid>> Hi peeps....Thanks so much for all your lovely messages and Im sorry for disappearing on you all. Just had a really random week or so and really struggled with a lot of things. Work has been emotionally draining recently, things with OH have been a...

Hi my fellow mini's.. Just calling in to say hi, and bear with me. Having a rough few days personally so not really with it (am in the food sense, just everything else feels really pants).. Just need a bit of down time, but I will be back xx

Thanks all :) frustratingly, I've been able to get nowhere near the internet since friday :( Soooooo annoying now! My phone net has been playing up too, beginning to think it's against me, and work int'net was down yest aswell :( So yeah, 2 off last week was fab..makes me sit nicely exactly on...

I'm aiming to stay that way :) it all works so much better when it's like this :p lol As for the 15's, I'm there as soon as they let me :p xx Thanks hun, I actually found something last night which I have spent lunch time filling in the online application for, so fingers crossed :) :)...

Woo hoo on the 6 off Rach! How fab is that!! :) :) And welcome to Milo, look forward to seeing some pics :) xx

I took pictures a while back yep - clothed and non clothed lol.. so I need to take some more and compare... Maybe when the courage plucks up I'll post them (well, that would be the clothed ones...ha ha!!) Keeping my eyes open for new jobs but it's not worth fretting really as until end of...

Keep popping in to check re Amber..sorry there's nothing yet, keep positive, I'm sure she'll come back. xx Ha ha at the old lady :p Your menus have set my mouth-a-watering, and it's only 25 past nine!! :) xx

Me too :) Im hoping that's the case Kals, it's not a job I enjoy, but since I moved down to Kent 6 yrs ago, this has been my first perm job and have been there 4 yrs... So it just feels really scary to suddenly have to be looking for a replacement again, u get used to the guaranteed wage...

i'm sure that 2 is just a decoy and will have disappeared before you know it.. well done on the coming in on points, it's a lovely feeling isnt it :) xx

Hope you've been having a good day Rach... Lots of lovely vibes coming ur way :vibes:xx

Aw Jess...big, huge, mahoosive cuddly hugs xx I have a fair idea of how you're feeling, been having the same issues with some of my friends, feels like it's only ever me going all the way up north to see them, and hardly anyone comes down here.. Even my mum asked if I get married would we come...

I imagine that's about accurate hon, I know chicken chow mein is about 7.5 points, so imagine veg would be about that... Sweet n sour sauce is 3 so reckon that's prob about right for curry... Sorry couldnt be more help, there is a list of chinese points on one of the older threads in this...

I know Kals, it's driving me insane :( OH sometimes leaves me his laptop tues/weds eves, but it's just not the same :( I'm trying lol :p Ah, that's what I can smell! I wasn't quite sure... I hope they do appear this week, would be such a wonderful feeling, really would.. You know I...

Came in today all prepped with my homemade sarnie and a little packet of WW cookies :) Thanks hon, I hope so, really can't wait to get down into the 15's ... a couple of months ago that felt so unattainable, now its really just a matter of pounds away! :) Stone for Christmas - let's go :)...

Hey hon, don't put yourself down, I'm sure you're doing a really great job, kids that age can sometimes be hard to crack, I've had them that age in my youth group up till now where it's sometimes taken us a term or more to get them on an even keel, but you will get there, I believe in you :) xx

You'll get there hon, Ive had a bit of a week or so of that, the difference now being that we're aware when we're going off track and then do something to stop ourselves getting worse. Xx

Hey Rach, hope your Monday is being kind to you chick, and I just wanted to say cheers for your lovely comments in my diary, much appreciated. xx

Hi guys, Sorry for my little absence, was off work ill on friday and have spent the weekend sorting out my head etc with it all, and don't worry I haven't given up. It did knock me a little, I knew I deserved it to go on and was ready for it, just didnt expect it to knock me like it did. But...

Hope you've been having a good day hon :) xx

Sorry to hear you've been having issues with the DH.. Hopefully all wil be harmonious really soon for you again :) Don't worry about the scales mid week, you tend to fluctuate day to day anyway, I tend just to wait til my WI day, otherwise I think I'd be on verge of breakdown lol :) Keep...

Sounds like u're having fun, and nothing beats a good ol' gluey glittery session!! You should get one of those cool interactive white board thingy's that are on computer - they rock!

Welcome :) Think ur spot on with ur comment about this not being a diet but a change of lifestyle, that's the thought that's got me far further this time, because it's changing everything - ie attitude to things. And i know what you mean about the dreading wednesdays...lol... I WI on weds too...

Welcome back! :) Sorry to hear about ur grandad, but glad to hear he's doing better now. And 2lbs isnt bad at all for having two weeks off :) xx

Well done on the loss :) that's really great, WW does really rock doesnt it!! Sorry to hear about the course plans having to go on hold :( have you looked at doing something through the open uni or similar? I'm currently doing a youthwork degree with them, and they're really good, really...

Thanks V, weekend was lovely and chilled... so chilled I was almost horizontal..ha ha... :) You look like a very young 50 :) Personally I don't feel a day over 18 which is why it scares me that my body is way older than my mental status...lol... guess one day I should consider the whole...

I don't know tbh, I was hoping it would maybe slip by unnoticed, however December was the OH's 30th, and I stupidly got a woman in our church to make him a cake especially for the occasion, it was amazing, she did it in QPR colours, with a drum kit as he plays lol, and in the drum kit was the...

Hi Fulltum :) Welcome to our diaries, this is a great place to be, I've tried this a million times over already, but this time is so much easier due to mini's, it reassures you that you're not alone! So yeah! Welcome!! :) xx

Cheers girlies :) I've planned out my entire nights points now so I know exactly where I stand in food land, sharing my Chinky takeout with OH brings my share of Chick Chow Mein and Chick Fried Rice to a nice enough 8.5 points..leaving me still with 8 points for the rest of the evening.. OH...

Sugar free jelly!!! :)

Awww... R.I.P Metroland!! lol... Ah well, sounds like it was replaced with something pretty decent.. They were fun times, I remember we used to get our hands stamped on entry? lol :)

Everyone else has said above what I want to say, so there's not a lot of point repeating too much...lol... But I completely agree that the only reason we should be doing this is for ourselves alone, no 1 else.. So go you for deciding that it's you who matters most, cos you do :) You can do this...

Hi Rach, hope you have a fun time shopping today :) even if it is window :) I know the feeling too well!! Is that the Metro centre you're heading to? I used to visit there quite frequently when I lived up in Dumfries. Is metroland still there with the chair ride? Me and besty mate adored that...

I was a good girl, yay :) very happy with myself :) As for the wrist, it's going spare if anyone would like it?? Thanks V, it makes the whole typing thing very awkward, going to see how it is today and I may ask my doc to get me a note for a couple of days off if it doesn't ease up. But...

Well, for the first day in about a fortnight, I know I came in on target for my points yesterday!! Woo!! I only had a mayo chicken out with OH last night, leaving me with 4.5 points carried over. He did buy wedges and I nicked a couple, but that's still going to bring me in under or on points :)...

:) that's a fab loss, really well done! :) xx

Hey Rach, just wanted to come and have a nosey as usual.. hope you're surviving your lovely busy work schedule...sounded a beast of a shift the other day! I've been here since 7 this morning , its now 5 to 5 and my concentration has definitely gone elsewhere lol... Anyway, hope you're doing...

Hey Nic! Just been having a little browse in your diary (please excuse me, sometimes my curiosity is too much...) lol.. Noticed your starting with OU in October...woo hoo!!! I started with them last October, working towards a Found Degree In Working with Young People.. About to start my 2nd...

No, they've told me to take Ibuprofen for the pain.. It only really hurts when Im at work, unfortunately that requires a lot of typing lol.. Hopefully it will ease up soon, it's also in my writing hand which is a little inconvenient and awkward, especially with the splint now too lol... will...

Thanks guys as always :) Well today I've been on my determined day...not one thing that has passed my lips has escaped being pointed.. forgot how much of a difference it makes when you actually have to 'physically' account for .... lol.. got 13 points to play with for dinner tonight, so...

Hi Boo :) Welcome to our mad diaries :) all the best with the loss :) xx

Ok... So day 1 of my renewed 100% attempt to get to my goal!! :) Decided that I'm going to keep my daily 'intake' diary in here...will make me more accountable and might actually make me write it down again, which I fear is where I'm beginning to slip! So...today so far.... Breakfast 2...

Well done Bex :) xx

Hope you're ok Cher hon xx

Thanks Kals :) I've been having a bit of a pondering afternoon, and browsing the WW site for some recipe inspiration lol :) decided that in future when I'm cooking for OH, he's going to get WW styled food, that way I dont slip up because of it.. common sense would have told me to do that a...

Well done hon, 6.5 is fantastic!!! xx

Well done on the loss :) As much as I LOVE bank hols, they dont half cause hassle on the ol' eatery side!! lol :) xx

Well...scales gave me a STS this week... which I actually feel was very very generous of them (must have bribed them sufficiently) I actually felt I justifiably deserved a gain this week...with my bank holiday scoffing i was sure it was going to be bad (that would be due to the KFC at lunch, the...

Hey Meike, hope you're doing alright xxx

Ha ha!!!! It's prob very true! lol... The week off that I had I did have moments where I had to go downstairs and amuse myself for moments otherwise there may have been some violence inflicted...lol... I've lived on my own for about 6yrs so i imagine when we finally do merge, it's going to be...

Ha ha... I too am loving the messages, as like Claire, mine with OH consist also of the whole 'hope you've had a good day' 'yeah you?', 'yeah ok' Sorry to hear you've been feeling rough, but glad normality has returned for you, and don't worry too much about your boy (although I know thats...

Mmmm the curry sounded delish :) I ended up having a massive plate of stir fry with 0 point veg lol.. urs sounds far more appetizing!! lol... And Nic, thank goodness I read of your desire post 10 o clock after our sandwich woman visits work, otherwise I would have been down to her like a shot...

Hey Rach, so sorry to hear u've been poorly, that's not nice for you :( Get well soon my love xx Glad im not the only one who seems to find it flamin impossible to stay within points at the mo... lol.... I'm sure I ate my body weight in ice cream and other things over the weekend, was not...

Hey Cher, great idea with the new diary, new start... You can definitely do this, you've already come so far :) hope everything is good with you, just wanted to come and say hi quickly as I've not had a lot of internet access time recently lol xxx

My thoughts exactly V :) Cant wait to start dress shopping lol :) Hi Nic! Welcome! Do make yourself at home! lol :) It's quite exciting having a goal to aim for, makes it doubly worth it when it's achieved :) I havent told the OH im planning on a dress, going to surprise him :) I will make...

Cheers girlies :) I am sooooo excited at the prospect of actually getting a dress it's quite scary, i've always been a bit of a tomboy, and it's all changing all of a sudden, how very exciting!! Well it's half five which means hometime!! woo!! Have a wonderful evening my mini's!! XXX

ha ha!! that first post made me chuckle.. hope the rage has subsided lol :) and I hope you havent had as miserable a day weather wise as we have!! xx

Hi Lynda :) You can do this, not always easy to get started but once you have, and the pounds are dropping off, the feeling is truly something else :) I've lost 18lbs in the last 10 weeks on WW and it's great!! All your mini mates here are behind you and we'll keep you going :) xx

I went in June to see Bon Jovi at the 02 , and I went around snapping all the fronts of the shows - Wicked etc.... my intention being using them to hint to the OH what I would like to notch up on my west end show viewings.... hee hee.... Yes, I will always be a tourist.... Sounds like you had...

Hi!!! Welcome!!! And Well Done!! :) xx

Cheers peeps :) Well, I have set myself a mission, work has an autumn ball at the end of October, which I work as 9 weeks away... So, I'm setting myself a challenge to lose as much as I can before then - reckoning if I manage to hit 2lbs a week that's another 18 gone! Reckon I could at least...

Aw Meike...... sending one of these :hug99:your way...Sorry to hear you're feeling like this, sometimes we do hit these blinkin walls that seem to have no intention of ever falling down, I tend sometimes to just sit down next to it, to fool it into thinking i've given up, then take a great big...

2.5 off this week so I'm so very very happy!!! I can see those size 16 jeans in the distance beckoning me on.... :) xx Not sure I quite grasp this whole concept of the 'work' thing.... I supposedly get paid for doing it (although there doesnt seem to be a lot of evidence of that either...) ha...

Hi everyone!! :) Apologies for delayed absence, been way too chilled out on hols and abs no access to internet :( lol.... I apologise if this is quick but I've naughtily jumped on mid work time lol... Week was fab, did so much chilling I'm almost horizontal, spent ALL week with OH so was a...

Woo on the loss!! And as Rach says, 5 more and ur in a whole new bracket :) yay!!!! :) xx

Woo!!! on the 2lbs loss :) that rocks :) And re the t-shirt thing, i frequently have nightmares about that kind of thing, usually dreaming that I'm half way to work and suddenly realise I actually forgot to dress.... yes, I am slightly special... lol Hope you're having a good week Rach :) xx

Wow Phill!!! 6lbs is truly fandabidozie!!! Go you!! :) And what a feeling it must be to be rid of 6 stone !! Yay! so happy for you!!! xx

Anyone know points for mini angus burger and small fries? Cheers peeps :) xx

I've just been beginning to research possible funding routes we could take to possibly make it happen... Need to work out how and where and who....etc...etc...etc... I'm just sick of people in my town complaining that young people hang around and cause trouble all the time, it's cos there's...

Awww what a lovely house Jess :) Hope you'll be very happy there :) It looks really lovely :) xx

Ha ha!! I'm not the only one that almost completely forgets that the stuff exists!! lol For a long time I couldnt drink it as it just made me feel sick, but think i'm beginning to get there...although I don't drink enough of it! Maybe we should start a water challenge!! :) Hope you have a...

I def think Sainsbury's should be paying you some kind of commission for promoting them :) I need to do a shop tonight, and we have a S'bury's and Asda pretty much right next door to each other..after reading s'bury's promos I may just walk the extra few steps there this eve :) Poo, totally...

I don't like killing things, it feels so mean, but spiders I just physically cannot live with knowing they're around somewhere.. thinking I might get some therapy or something .. need to overcome this fear cos it's horrible, and I know if i have kids with this I'm going to create that in them...

Cheers hon :) Oooh - think I may need to stock up on starch........... :p Kals, I think if I'd discovered that in my bath, I would have quietly backed out the door and taken myself out of the house, leaving the key for the landlord on the side....... p.s I wasn't entirely sure if i wanted...

3lbs in 18 days? U can definitely do it :) xx

Welcome back :) x

Woo! :) going in the right direction :) xx

Tesco's Im convinced are on a mission for world domination... but they're flamin expensive! We have 4 of them in a smallish area...as well as a sainsbury's,asda, morrisons, lidls......Bloomin supermarkets!! Hope you're having a good day :) x

Hope you're having a good tuesday, and that the weather with you is more pleasant than it is here... Can hardly see out the window for the rain drops...Considering I'm off to QPR tonight with the OH again, it better not still be raining later!!! lol xxx

I echo what everyone else has said lol.... in my eyes as long as nothing goes on, then I'm happy! well, you know what i mean :) xx

Have a great time! :)

I've been trying to observe him over the weekend to see if he has any issues with the knee area, maybe from kneeling too much???....... :p I've spent the weekend trying not to let my mind wander even further (apart from planning bridesmaid's colours, flower girls, 1st dance songs etc....)...

↲Sadly there was no actual proposal no. Sorry to disappoint .. He has asked for my ring size tho so have a feeling its not going to be long.. We both have holiday a week on monday and are going away for a few days on our own. At the end of that week my parents are down who he hasnt met properly...

Hi Retro... The WW site says one burger is 3.5 points.. Hope that helps :) xx

Hi.. Just been having a read through your diary, dude you've done really well so far! Kudos to you :) Where abouts in Scotland are you from? I was born in Glasgow, grew up in St Andrews, then moved to Dumfries when I was 11 until I moved down to Kent at 21... LOL.. it's nice to meet some...

Hey Phill :flowers: brought these in for you to say I hope you're feeling better... Come and see us soon :p xx

Hope you have a fun day at work, I've been in for two hours already and it's draaaaaagggggggiiinnnnnnggggggg........! But hey...it's almost the weekend and the sun is shining here! woo! Have a great day! :) xx

I got an email last night saying my jeans have been dispatched...feeling like doing a mini dance in excited anticipation :p xx It's not something I'm good at resisting when I feel like abs poo.... So was quite shocked at myself, spec as OH descended about 9 and drove us up to Macs..I sat...

Mini Victory :) Had a rah afternoon at work today and set out for sainsburys almost determined to have random eating evening..ie a naughty dinner and nibbles to go with dvd this eve..what did i come out with? Two weight watchers meals, tortilla wraps for lunch and mini pitta breads.. Ive just...

Me too :p We had a discussion last year around the whole marrying thing after a mutual friends wedding and he said that it wasn't off the cards etc etc.. and basically that I wasn't to steal his thunder as he would want to do it properly and surprise me. This was last July... Tho to be fair on...

Yeah, for us I guess its more than a bit of paper, and I do love him so much and can't imagine my life now without him, but without the marriage bit, there can be no kids etc... and it's a deep deep built in need or whatever in me, a natural one, to be a mum... and if we cant get married then...

I think if we decided (or he did! cos I'm more than there :p) that 'M' wasn't on the cards, I'd have to consider moving on from the relationship.. Couldn't stay with it as it is... it's hard enough at the moment with the possibility of it being in the future. If it wasnt there at all that would...

Me too :p No we don't live together at the moment. We're Christians so we're not 'allowed' to lol.. So Im getting slowly more and more fed up with the two separate lives, and beginning to push for the whole big 'M' talk, fed up having to say bye to him last thing at night , does not make for...

Thanks guys, I did Mikados at 4.5 for safety, and the crisps at 2... I still came away with about 4 points left at end of day! woo :)

I seriously feel like a little kid at Christmas, can't wait to get them on :) :) :) will post photo's if I can agree on any lol :p xx

Hi Sinead, welcome to the forum! What I also know as the nut house, but we're all lovely and friendly really :) Well done on the 7 :) that's fab :) don't worry about the apparent STS, if you've weighed urself mid week then it doesnt necessarily mean you're not losing, ur weight fluctuates day...

Thanks Kals, as long as it's coming off I wont moan too much lol... Well, I just went a-browsing on Evans website as I notice they have their end of season sale...And have just purchased myself a pair of jeans for £10 ...in a size 18... I havent yet tried on any 18's so these will be my first...

I agree with the whole thing of knowing what you want to do with the rest of ur life at 16... lol... I'm a completely different person now to the poor messed up kid I was then... I started out doing nursery nurse training at 19, and now ten years later, am doing youth work training, so things...

Morning Mini's....Hope you are all fantabulous this morning as usual! :) Well, I had myself a little chinese yesterday evening to celebrate my loss, plus my Uni module pass as well, and really noticed the difference in everything. Before now I would have blown out and gone to town, but last...

Hope your beginning to feel a bit better, sucks being ill :( xx

The WW site said that the box of Mikado's is 4.. so thts about right.. And i put the crisps in the calc thing at 37.5g bag.. and it came out 0.... I would normally expect 2 for crisps... will prob point them at 2 just to be safe :)

I bought a pack of Walkers baked cheese and onion crisps at lunch .... put them in my point calculator on WW online, and it's come out at 0! 149 cals per bag, 0.4 sat fat...... is this right??? seems way too good!! lol Also, Mikado's - calculated it on the packet, comes up as 0 points for 1...

Another half off! Well, back from WI and it's not huge, but managed to lose a half... for me this week thats a great loss :) i lost it last week with all that went on, desparately tried mon and tuesd to claim back some points, think i succeeded by about 18 so yeah! it's fine for me, and I am...

Sounds like you've had a rough time recently, but well done for hanging in there with the WW,cant always be easy, but you've done so well! xx

Thanks guys :) I took on the OU stuff to back up the work I've been doing voluntary, but from doing it I realised I want to do this properly full time.. so hopefully once its completed, (in about 3yrs at this rate lol) I can get proper paid employment as a 'yoof' worker lol... I lost out on the...

I wouldn't worry too much about a point, sure you'll claim it back fine :) I think i must be over this week by about 10 or so, so have been on basic rations last couple of days to claw it back b4 WI tomorrow, when will I learn!! :) Hope u feel better soon xx

That's exactly the reason why I want to be one, my youth leaders growing up were very important people in my life and made a huge difference during phases that I otherwise may have gone off the rails with, but they stood by us and gently kept us going, if I can make jst the slightest bit of...

That sounds fun! :) I wondered about being a primary teacher when I was younger, but then ended up suffering with the whole lack of confidence in myself so convinced myself I wouldnt be any good at it.. I'm studying a youth work degree as I currently run various youth stuff on my spare evenings...

Ha ha!! love it! I too am quite proud of my trunk, although I would happily have it just a little smaller and tighter... My OH is more worried about what happens to my two ladies up top... he was really quite concerned.. I personally dont see their appeal myself, I was beggin my GP to take them...
