congrats on getting you bellybutton pierced! I agree piercings and tattoo's are addictive! I started off with one tattoo and now I have my wrists tattooed with my kids names and more butterflies on my shoulder, plus my lip pierced. i want more but it will be my reward for losing weight.

things i like about me: 1. im good at planning especially parties, they never seem to end earlier than 1am 2. along with my wonderful husband we raised 2 wonderful boys who are respectful, well mannered, hardworking and successful in their own areas of life. 3.I have great calves and small...

I use the buttery one for doing garlic mushrooms, think I got it from Tescos along with the wok and one of the salad dressing sprays.

My hubby knows my weight, clothes, bra and shoe size. he is also the first person I text how much I lose after WI and he knows what my goals are.

looks lovely and summery just perfect for a wedding.

Thanks I am hoping to try and make some tofu jerky while off with the kids so will look out for maggi seasoning. hoping its going to turn out ok

Thanks I have no idea where I can get liquid smoke from but will google it and try to make it SW friendly over the weekend.

Congratulations!!!!

Last night I won the raffle and in it was some fresh broad beans and I need some inspiration. What can I do with them apart from the usual just cook and serve with a meal. ps still after a recipe for tofu jerky if anyone knows which herbs/spices and quantities to use.

i love savoury nibbles made syn free humous the other night and just keep dipping in to it with carrot/pepper sticks and melba toasts

0.5lb this week which is not bad considering its star week and it got me my half stone award in 4 weeks so I am really chuffed with that.

good luck and hope all is well for you, and enjoy the shopping =)

I have searched through site and tried google and can't find a recipe for tofu jerky. I did find one on site that said it was soy sauce and spices but no quantites and specific spices to use. Google was recommending I used liquid smoke and I have no idea where I would get that from round me...

I get nervous as well and wish I didnt WI on a monday but after last week getting myself in a tizz over a weekend away I vowed not to let myself get like that again. Its hard as i am a natural worrier but 1 day at a time. Good luck for your WI!

alcohol, bread and processed products mainly the fat free super noodles, mug shots. they give me bad stomach ache and bung me up but plain egg or rice noodles and pasta are fine.

I fancied fish as OH and kids having steak pie and chips and thats way to stodgy for me! my fish pie was delish though I need to add more quark in to the sauce next time was a little dry. I also made some syn free humous for later found recipe in a sw book =)

I nearly made myself a badge for work, because they know I do SW and can't believe I can eat as much as I do and lose weight. I love SW!

Great minds think a like!!

i made a fish pie, used some smoked haddock which i steamed then mixed it with an egg, some quark and some frozen peas then topped with mashed butternut squash. going to serve it with some carrots and pak choi.

Buying a nice pretty bra that doesnt cost the earth and being able to wear strappy vest tops with out big thick bra straps showing and this hopefully will also help my bad back, when I catch myself in the mirror or a window i look like im walking with a hunch :cry: I hate shopping for bras i...

add me in please I need targets to work to!!

made me smile and congrats on the snail ticker =)

worst thing about my hubby he has ocd big time even down to the cups all facing the same way in the cupboard. during the summer or christmas holidays and the beer fridge is full all cans must face the same way. the best thing about my hubby is his ocd means the house is spotless cause i never do...

chomp bars 3 syns and stick them in the fridge so they take ages to eat i usually end up sucking off the chocolate then eating the caramel and get in a right mess.

I cant wait to make this I love egg custards.

mini milk ice lollies thought they would be high cause they so nice but are really low in syns.

i do the same add mixed frozen veg with it and serve with rice and a spoon of fat free plain yoghurt. the ainsley dry packet dahl is lovely i buy a few in at a time.

I drank my 1.5l jug of water at work and wished i left the office a few minutes early to go to the bathroom nearly had to run up the corridor, its too far away from the office and was a nightmare when i had cystitis ages ago!

Im always being told off for not drinking enough especially at work (mostly by my mum and im 36!!) I bought a cheap water filter jug from asda and now every morning i fill it up and vow to drink it all by the time i leave. some days are really hard to drink it all plus the bathroom is up a long...

I am planning on walking up Snowden in October and aiming to do it without huffing and puffing all the way there. So yesterday after WI my OH took me on a walk for an hour, luckily we live 5 minutes from the country side and we took a route using the public foot paths around the fields. I ended...

I have to say my wonderful hubby and kids. before I joined sw and was trying to lose weight on my own he sent me flowers when i was down and when i lost a big chunk of weight he went shopping on his OWN and bought me the most gorgeous shoes in the right size and style I love. He drags my butt...

Hi and good luck with SW I love it, tonight after I get back from WI I will be trying the just add chilli beef from quorn and some plain rice it is 2 syns for the 400g bag.

I'm 36 and regressing back to my youth in the last year i got 4 tattoos and my lip pierced. a friend of mine said your close to 40 wth do you want a lip ring for!! Ive always wanted one just felt brave one day after work and went and got it.

Well done on raising so much and running the course.

you can do something about the weight they will always be idiots, don't let them get you down they are not worth it.

Hi you can't do an avatar until you reach a certain number of posts, if you look in the newbie section theres a post which explains it all =) good luck with slimming world hope you enjoy it

No matter what you do kids will always find a way to get in to trouble. My 2 are always getting into trouble the eldest zip strapped his brother to the bed the other day and I couldn't find scissors to cut him loose. Your son is fine and your doing a grand job don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well done, your an inspiration!

I used the magazines a lot before and had friends who did SW so picked up a lot of things from them. I tried WW but points is not my thing easily confused. This seems to be working well for me so far never felt hungry yet.

I used to buy Asda beastie bites cause they were like monster munch (same flavours as well) and only 4 syns for 18g packet but have now noticed they are over 6 syns as the pack size increased to 25g! this time of year i pop grapes, raspberries and blueberries in the freezer and eat them like...

Congrats you must have been grinning from ear to ear all night!
