i'm organising my future sister-in-laws hen do and we're planning on going to the races during the day then having a meal followed by a night on the town (only local cos she doesn't want to be away overnight) but this way everyone can be involved and we can be all girly and civilised with the...

my sister lost 3st on SW and although my mum was really supportive after about 1.5 stone she started to say that she didn't need to loose anymore, even hinting that maybe it was her husband that wanted her to loose more weight (so not true by the way) i've lost 21 lbs now and although i've still...

Hi everyone, i've got a combined rant and plea for advice. :rolleyes: i arrived for class on monday and the place was in darkness, no sign of anyone !! due to changes in C and stand in C's i had no phone no. to contact anyone to find out what was happening. i went to another class to WI and just...

the size 18 trousers that i had to buy cos my 20's were falling off are starting to get baggy :D i seem to be veering towards a stone equalling a dress size - on the bottom half anyway, only just going down a size at the top :rolleyes: love this thread some fantastic NSV's :)

i'm fancying something with pasta, so maybe a bolognese type thing :)

i turned up to class last night and there was no-one there, complete darkness. but also no brownies who are usually in the room next door. i went to a nearby group and was told that i was the 4th person from my group who'd done the same. i spoke to the C from the new group who said she wasn't...

can't decide between some sort of spicy tomato pasta concoction or quorn sausages, SW chips,'fried' egg & beans. hmmmm, decisions, decisions :D

one of the pharmacists at work stopped me today and whispered ' have you lost weight ?' I took great delight in saying 'yes, nearly a stone and a half' the strange thing is I have meetings with him every week and see him most days, so why he suddenly noticed today is a (very nice) mystery :)...

different things work for different people and if you've decided this is best for you then people should / will support you :) (with regard to getting the surgery approved through the PCT it may be worth you gettng a copy of their policy and criteria for surgery. different areas have different...

sooooooo many reasons (and not all of them good :rolleyes:) i work for the NHS and realised that i weighed almost the same as some of the gastric bypass cases that were coming through (good reason) my wardrobe was full of lovely clothes that used to fit but all i could do was look at them...

we had a lovely roast chicken dinner cooked by my OH on sunday and the roast potatotes tasted fantastic - i was dreading how many syns would be in them but when i asked he said he'd crushed 2 veg stock cubes and sprinkled over the par-boiled spuds, 1 x table spoon of oil mixed through, then...

1lb on for me this week :( but i know where it came from and its my own fault. looking back i've been falling into bad habits, not weighing cheese and guestimating syns being the worst. but the bacardi and panini probably won't have helped either :mad: back on track today, got a food diary...

i had a quick look last night, some really nice things in there. there was a baileys cheesecake that caught my eye, and from memory it wasn't too highly synned. will get it closer to christmas, i get stupidly excited about christmas as it is without thinking about food :)

another 1lb off for me, not a huge loss but better than i deserved after eating the chocolate orange that should have been put away out of my reach :p back on track this week, well done on all the losses ladies and gents x

i'm having similar problems with clothes, being in-between sizes, and also different size in different brands. i've bitten the bullet and bought some new work trousers in an 18 as my old size 20's were hanging off me. tops don't seem too bad at the minute so i guess i've lost weight of by...

theres a hummus recipe in the new magazine and i'm sure it was only the tahini paste that counted as syns. also a baked falafel recipe which is very low syns (possibly free but my memory escapes me and i can't find the mag at the minute :sigh: ) i suppose its the same principle as the stewed...

congratulations to all you nominees :D and well done on all the losses i lost 2lb this week :) getting there slowly but surely.

Bit of info for the people asking about Breast reduction on the NHS: The NHS will approve Breast reductions only if there is a clinical need and this must be evidenced by a GP / clinician eg. its not enough for you to say they give me back-ache, your GP must tell them how often this happens...

for my lunch i usually take either: salad made with new potatoes, chunks of chicken, cucumber, celery, spring onions and cherry tomatoes. top this with some v.low fat mayo. I usually chop it up into similar size chunks so that it seems a bit more robust. or cooked pasta mixed with tuna, and the...

Hi i'm news to SW and my 1st WI was last night. Lost 1.5lbs, was a bit disapointed but after speaking to others in the group and having a good look at my food diary the general opinion was that i hadn't eaten enough, so back to the drawing board for menu ideas. the way i'm looking at it is that...
