Just eat a piece or two of fruit after breakfast, it doesn't have to be 'in' your breakfast ☺️

its never too late :) give it a go, you will be pleasantly surprised :)

An amazing start to your journey, well done :)

my other half gained 1.5lb in his first week LOL!

check out some of the recipes on here! what about tweaking some normal recipes to make them SW friendly, unfortunately whenever you try a new recipe it does sometimes end in diaster LOL! I've had a fair few :) one of my fave SW recipes is pizza chicken, its on the SW website.

Glad to hear you went to class, we all have done exactly the same, some even more than others LOL! but it is getting back on track that matters, so well done :)

wish they still did the cumberland sausages :(

Meatballs and pasta, sausage and mash (Sainsbury BGTY sausages) Pizza chicken with SW chips and salad or baked beans Chicken stuffed with EL philli and wrapped in bacon, u could also use quark with herbs and garlic

When I got to target, I did find that I carried on losing even having 1 extra HEB each day, over a few weeks it settled down, probably was more flexible in what I ate and gradually the weight started to increase again until I was out of target and had to buckle down again LOL! The general advice...

!!! i didnt even read the post above mine!! great minds think alike :)

Ok, so u had a bad two weeks, u know what u have done and it cant be changed BUT u can change what happens in the future, get back on track from tomorrow and u will start to undo what u have done. start by planning every thing u eat and drink plenty :) . At least by not putting it off u will do...

1. husband started a new job today :) 2. one of my ladies said thank you for answering all her questions. 3. I found my work phone!

u r doing the right thing :) start afresh, u might not be able to complete more than 2 sections on the dvd but it wont be long and u will be abl to do more each time :)

It is ok to par boil the potatos and freeze them, this is exactly what frozen chips are from the supermarket apart from having oil added to them prior to freezing :)

Total 0% greek yoghurt with blueberry for 2 sysn - its new and really delicious :)

SW chicken curry and rice :)

Well done :) does your GP/hospital run a stop smoking services? there may even be a specialist midwife, someone with extended training can prescribe patches etc during pregnancy and also the additional support i.e. counselling will increase the chance of someone quitting :) Can u get your...

and I would suggest u ignore your scales! I know easier said than done but, the only ones that matter are WI night, I know I can get on and off my scales and back on again and get completely different weights!

well done on your losses, u r only .5lb away from your first sticker :)

you can definitely see the difference in the photos, i'm sure it will show in your clothes soon :) well done.

looks fab :)

Happy Birthday! enjoy your day, I hope u enjoyed the treats, if u can't do it for your birthday, when can u? just get back on track and u will be fine :)

I seem to have eaten anything and everything the last few weeks and am now 5lb from my original target! I really must get back on the band wagon and actually follow the plan!

stuffed with SW chips, eggs, beans and sausages :)

haven't been on here for a while, just slightly out of target at the moment by 1/2lb so had to pay this week :( Have been 100% today :)

jacket potato, salad or baked beans

perhaps u should try flexi synning - just keep a total of your syns for the week and deduct from it. However, if you keep going over syns regularly it will affect your losses and the plan won't work!

another fast eater here! not sure why but have always eaten quickly since a child. I don't like cold food so that maybe the reason!

you could always add lentils/split peas etc which would help to thicken :)

I have had a very bad 10 days! luckily I have only gained 1/2lb, am amazed!!! so am now back on track from yesterday :)

pizza chicken, SW chips and salad :)

make sure u r drinking plenty of fluids, must say, sounds like alot of grapes!!!

well done, a great start to your journey :)

I like the eat smart sausages as well :)

lots of veggie soup :)

I make my porridge with half milk and water, I use any oats, currently Tesco Value, I microwave for 1min, give it a shake and then another 1min, love it with apple, frozen fruits, banana etc

fabulous well done :)

u look fab, keep it up, u r doing great :)

Dear DH when other cars are braking, please react! Stop moaning about the christmas decorations, if u keep on, I will find somewhere for a third christmas tree :) No I don't want u to buy chocolate for me and when u do go food shopping, please buy the right food, we have only been doing SW...

I was still out of target but had lost 1/2lb so only another 1.5lb to go to get back into target :) was very happy considering what I ate last weekend!!!!

hope u have found something to wear now and enjoy you evening, good luck :)

braving WI this week, have been a target member but went out of target by 2lb last week! was away at the weekend with absolutely no cooking facilities and nowhere to sit except the pub! so really expecting a gain tonight! oh well, have been back on track since yesterday :)

i would be a quivering wreck if they had access to my whole body LOL!!!!!!

welcome! and well done on the 2.5lbs down :)

and if u make them with cous cous instead of breadcrumbs, even less syns :)

went back last night after a break, was at target when I last weighed and thought that I would be out of target now but luckily I am still in target but at the very top! Cons was good and I didn't get the usual, oh you're fine, you're a target member, she gave me a bit of a talking to to get...

I haven't been on here for ages, have been struggling and am sure that I am now out of target! haven't been to group for a few weeks as have been too busy/tired/feeling guilty etc really any excuse! can't go this week as have to attend a study session at a restaurant! So from today I have...

I'm not but daughter is! I think her life revolves around it at the moment LOL! she goes to the excel centre 2x a year and the majority role play, I love going the people watching when I pick her up :)

I agree with everyone, you have had an awful day and although you have turned to 'comfort' food, you are aware of what you have done and as you can't change it you should draw a line under it and start afresh now :) Hugs to you, you and your fellow teachers/students must be in shock, so awful...

the theory is that when you cook, mash, puree, blend fruits/veg, you are likely to eat larger quantities and more likely to over eat.

It wouldn't hurt to give the fishes a head start lol!

Oh and I lost another 2lb this week, really just getting back on track after a pub weekend last week!

I added an extra HeB and kept losing so added another! now I generally stick for plan in the week and for breakfast and lunch at the weekend, then have whaterver I fancy for dinner, don't generally snack much so seems to be working for me.

2lb off, only another 1 to lose after having a 3lb gain last week!

We are having a taster night, I am doing low syn scotch eggs :)

hope the scales are kind to u tonight :)

pasta, mushy peas, whole chickens, chicken pieces, cottage cheese, fruit and veg, frozen fruit, frozen roasted med veg :)

I loved it after getting over the initial extreme tickling! must say, think they had a piranaha in my tank by the way they went at the bottom of my feet at times!

Did my first session on the Wii today, it was good, only did the beginner section but did go Davina's body buff cardio after :)

I had done a class a few times and then bought the game for wii. used it the first time today and enjoyed it - wasn't always in time but it got the heart rate up :)

mix a tbsp of lemon curd into some quark for a delish lemony dessert :)

the tip for myself would be, don't go away for the weekend and eat in the pub! 3lbs on for me this week, hope to lose a good portion of that this week :)

I just bought this, haven't tried it yet but have been to classes in the past!

Welcome back to SW, follow the plan and it will work for you :)

Im at target but lost 2lb last week (getting ready for summer holiday) and also got SOTW!!!! was very surprised as have never won it before :))

doesn't look like enough superfree with meals and try other fruits - eat a rainbow :) don't forget to drink plenty of fluids

raspberries, blueberries, pineapple and strawberries always seem to help me

did you measure yourself? sometimes loss isn't shown on the scales but on the tape measure :)

sounds delicious, will have to give it a try :)

we got stuck in Philladelphia last year for 12 days, we were actually on our way home when we were grounded. insurance co wouldnt pay a penny and as we had booked everything independantly and used an american airline, we werent covered by the eu law so had no comeback, however we hada great time...

I think alot of the SW recipes need you to use your judgment! I have done the classic chicken curry recipe and leave it to simmer with the lid off to thicken up, its lovely :)

my DH put on 1/2lb in his first week! (well we did go away for the weekend - bad timing LOL). He still hasn't got the hang of the plan, I still have to keep telling him things!

my sister has recommended my fitness coach (the original one) I have bought it but haven't managed to get off my butt yet!!!! I have been working, honest!

LOL your description made me laugh :)

OK I went food shopping and bought some cookies from the bakery! they were 24.5 syns each!!!!!!!!!!! and I ate two yesterday and two today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even after finding out the syns LOL! just no control today.

I'm joining u here, have been maintaining for about 8 weeks now, it does change slightly each week and am due to weigh in tonight, had a bit of a blow out at the weekend so not sure how its going to go!

well done everyone on thier losses, just waiting to go for weigh in today, we have a chocolate evening tonight - all SW friendly apparently :)

the deep fried jacket pots is an urban myth! check out the eating out section of your book for syn values, also if u know where u r going, plan what you will have ahead of time, check with SW online for syns, and don't forget flexi syns :) save those syns for the nights out :)

regular feeding and watering, don't let the herbs flower, it changes their taste. Basil is more tender than the others so may not do so well outside, don't put it out until the frosts have gone. for Strawberries and toms, use a specific feed, water them regularly, may even need 2x a day. There...

this sounds lovely :)

The secret is to keep attending the meetings and nipping things in the bud! not much help I know but it is possible if you think of it as a plan for life and not a diet.

how about mixing some quark with some herbs, garlic and cheese then topping your potato.

will have to try this, sounds yum!

Write down everything that you eat/drink Drink lots of fluids 1.5-2l a day - you will pee for England LOL! Go to go, patients to see!

sausage, egg, chips and salad for us, can't wait, am starving LOL!

well done for sticing with the plan and giving such great encouragement to all of us :)

where are your healthy extras? doesn't sound like u r following the plan properly!

do you add salt to food when cooking/eating? try cutting it out if u do as can cause u to retain water.

I was certain I would gain this week as had a massive blow out at the weekend, having gone away with friends BUT I still lost 1lb!!!! only problem is its now taken me out of the bottom range of my target!!! think the scales were rigged LOL! will have to wear heavy clothes next week! :)

SW = healthy balanced way of eating, not a diet but more guidelines to follow for the rest of our lives :)

Garlic roasted new potatos, chicken breast stuffed with Extra light Garlic and herb soft cheese wrapped in parma ham and selection of veg = full tum.

you could always do them with thigh fillets :)

sounds yummy :)

and all in time for valentines :)

My thoughts exactly but bet they taste good!!!! I would syn at 1.5 for 28g cooked weight or 5 for 28g uncooked compated to 6.5 for 28g twiglets.

I managed to stay at the bottom end of my target! despite being way over on syns and quite a few HEB's!!!

at group last night, fellow SWer was dissappointed with .5lb loss, turns out he is not weighing HE's, doesn't even own a set of scales, his mission today it to buy some LOL!

It maybe that you are not eating enough of the right foods! I did Rosemary Conley a few yrs back, was limited to 1550kcals, starving all the time and lucky if I lost .5lb in two weeks! I started SW in Aug 2010 and have eaten loads! lost weight steadily and am now at target, I have no idea how...

Fab news and congratulations, keep it up :)

other half and I are goimg through a very sticky patch at the moment, would recommend Relate couselling as we invarably bring baggage to a new relationship!

got to be the best FF yoghurt! and if you freeze it.... yum!

The ginger can be peeled and grated and used in tonnes of recipes esp curries :)

Yes we definitely have cockroaches in the UK! Husband would hate pulling out the oven/fridge etc in some houses to see them scurrying away! Worms are great for compost, you can buy a bag of them, will go find the site, I also use Garota to help the heap along (not that I have checked it for...

I've already done one of the recipes, lamb tikka masala, used chicken instead and didn't do the cauliflower as forgot to buy it in the supermarket! It was very nice :)

defintely some lemon juice :)

some student mw's were in this position a few years back and most did get a job but it did take quite a few months. you could always do your midwifery training :)

difficult to say, cottage pie was probably made with, at best, lean mince but most likely 'normal' mince, the mash probably had butter/FF milk. I would syn it for a ready made cottage pie that you would buy from the supermarket HTHs

Are you drinking loads of water? what plan are u following?

definitely keep them covered with cold water, put a little saucer ontop to stop them floating up to the surface, I would only keep them like this for a short time otherwise the potato starts to go softer! or you could make a batch, parboil and let them cool then freeze them.

and you could always pop in some sw chips :) dont even bother peeling them :)

great pic :) well done

changing my heb today has helped me :)

Well done and congratulations :)

I have been staying to IT since joining and we don't really discuss much other than weight losses, some bits get brief mentions, perhaps not as good as I thought!

well done for getting back on the wagon and its good to know where the 2lb came from :)

looking good, lovely trim waistline :)

have heard of reiki but never really looked into it, so glad to hear he is being supportive, good luck with your recovery :)

Welcome to you all and good luck with the weight loss.

I was supposed to be maintainin this week! managed to lose 1.5lb and now out of the bottom of my target, need to eat more!

I would say its probably more to do with the amount you have to lose, which isn't a large amount! Up your water intake and see how that goes :) You are very unlikely to see really big losses if you are starting with only a small amount to lose.

good luck with your class tonight, don't forget to start a food diary - it really helps :)

it looks good, may try to see it at the weekend:)

I just think you should just flexi syn it! will probably be way too many to actually count them!

I agree, no more hiding, you look great, good luck with the final stage of your weight loss journey :)

I have never done red/green so once I got my head around EE it was easy! I have lost 20lbs in 18weeks (had the occassional gain!) so really happy with it. It takes planning as can be hard with only 1 heb unless you syn it!

for a few syns you could use some low fat sausages :)

I love making soup, it seems to satisfying :)

I put on 1lb over christmas and lost 2.5lb over new year! very happy with that :D

I have found it really hard to drink lots in the recent cold weather, but have upped the intake the last few days and seeing the almost immediate effects LOL! I try to drink most in the morning then reduce it towards the evening so don't get up too often, if at all, at night!

I put on 1lb over christmas and lost 2.5lb over new year :) am in target still but if I lose another 1lb I will be under target (so had chicken and chips at lunch today LOL )

common sense prevails, eat until you are satisfied but not stuffed :)

I've seen it in the supermarket but never tried it, will add it to my shopping list :) and give it a go.

How rude of him! he needs a good kick in the shins!

made SW burgers in the summer for a bbq, you can go to town with different flavours :)

Well done, you could even charge for dog walking services :)

i'd eat them frozen :)

a tip - drink plenty of water (bit difficult with the current weather)! be organised Stick to the plan :)

OMG! 12.5lb!!!! our C was talking about 7lb gains but that certainly takes the biscuit!!! I was very restrained and managed a 1lb gain, wouldn't mind, that was only over two days!

Unfortunately its 15 yrs since I breastfed so not much chance of them perking up LOL! at least in a bra they don't look bad :)

we are weighing in early this week as the school is closed over christmas so will report on the damage later this evening!!!

thats alot of syns for a penguin biscuit!!!

I stayed the same as well good job really as havent been on plan or organised!

I've gone from a 32E to a 30DD/E but they look like stones in a sock! M&S hardly do any bras from 30, have bought some in Debenhams, highly recommend their fitting service :) did buy some from figleaves but none of them fitted!

If u feel up to it, go, I liked Jamie Afro on x factor :) hope the cold stays off the chest, there is so much going around at the moment!

I manage to make a treat size pack of chocolate buttons last :)

I have no idea but don't think it would be good at all!

must be that time of year! I managed to find 1/2lb same as Andie :) oh well, still in target! need to be good next week so I can indulge a little on christmas/boxing day :) I just can't seem to drink the water at the moment, goes straight through me literally!!!

I always wanted mousetrap but my parents wouldn't buy if for me :( I remember Girls World, you pulled her hair out and could style it and put make up on her!

I am so sorry to read this! what an awful thing for him to do, you really just can't imagine someone going to those lengths! I'd say you are well rid of him!

I went christmas present shopping and came back with 2 size 8 dresses for me :)

Thats exactly what I thought when I bought them, how wrong was I!!!!!!

such a sham but enjoy your christmas do's. I am hoping to STS as am at target now. was supposed to be going out Friday night but someone didn't bother to book it so not going now - better for the weight though LOL!

AndieG, you never know by Wednesday you could have hit that target (either that or weigh in in you undies LOL!)

and a one off reading means nothing! just some things that can affect your bp - needing a pee, stress, tiredness, worry (white coat syndrome!) caffiene, standing up, laying down, incorrect size cuff, smoking. just a few things off the top of my head lol! Oh and I have been known to take two...

I would wait, its amazing what an employer will try to get away with when someone is pregnant!

tapa's are leathal!

as long as the cheesecake does not contain uncooked egg you can eat it :) certain types of homemade mousse I.e. chocolate mousse and homemade ice creams that are not 'cooked' containing raw egg should be avoided. shop bought mayo, mousse, etc will be made with pasturised eggs and are safe to...

Thanks Shrimpy :) I am so please but now none of the clothes that didn't fit before still don't fit as are now too big LOL!

Hi Lizzie, of course u can join :) Has anyone seen Ferns news?

congratulations!

after being snowed off last week, I lost 2lb this week and am now TARGET -1lb Yippppeeeeeee! on here though I have 1lb to go!

I lost 2lb this week and . . . . . . . . . . . . hit target -1 YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! now the maintenance begins :D I know my target here is 1lb out LOL! but that gives me leaway for christmas :)

DD gets told to put her phone away when out with us, I hate going out and you look around and see couples having a meal out but spend the whole time texting other people! what is the point in going out with someone?????

boys definitely have to pay more than girls as they are statistically more likely to have an accident! My friend found that if she and her husband were put as named drivers on her daughters insurance it bought the price down! no idea how it works but might help!

are they the frozen ones? if so then they were about 9 syns each (would rather have a very small slice of proper cheesecake than waste 9 syns on something that is only passable as a cheesecake!)

well done :) its great when the unexpected happens

a lb is fantastic - its 52lbs in a year, slow and steady wins the race :D

loving your diary, must admit cold food especially cold pizza is enough to put me off eating it! now give me some crackling or chicken skin and that is a whole different story!!! Well done on your weight loss, keep it up :)

mine fluctuates from one minute to the next, literally I can step off the scales and back on again and be lbs different! It has been said b4 then only scales that matter are the ones at group, unless you are weighing at home, then weigh at the same time each week.

Congratulations, hope you are both home soon :)

a sprinkle of dried stuffing mix and then bung in the oven :) yum

ouch but not so bad if you shared it with a couple of people :)

Carte D'or light vanilla is also 7 syns on every plan for 100g (its delish and doesn't last long here!)

:clap: so good to hear this :)

lucky girl :) hubby can't even come up with 1 gift either so I don't expect much at christmas!!!

I did Rosemary Conley a few years back, managed to lose nearly 2 stone but was very slow and very hungry! much prefer SW, have lost the weight in a shorter period, love the support of the group and rarely been hungry (If I am its because of work and I didn't have time to eat!)

I love the Muller light Orange with chocolate sprinkles :) felt really naughty eating it :D

I did a paper round, didn't last long! then worked at the weekend in a kennels, lied about my age, told them I was 13 but still 12 :) loved to dogs, hated the poo!

class cancelled :( hould have a bumper loss next week :)

Fern, you cannot give up now! 4lb can be just a blip! I haven't weighed in this week and class cancelled due to snow, however, home scales are looking good :)

cous cous salad, pasta salad, SW quiche

you can flexi-syn, basically cut back on syns on other days and use them when u need a higher number of syns i.e. when going out for a meal :) The lesson today is to check the syns before you eat/make the food :)

well done on getting to target, hoping to join you this week :)

that innocent pot looks yum, pity I don't have access to a microwave in my car!

reading anything about a course i am doing!!! have used nytol, worked well and only needed it for a couple of nights.

most of what others have said and pineapple :)

I didn't like the frylight cesaer dressing - the smell was very chemically! it went straight in the bin!

Congratulations on losing 5.5st!!! that is fantastic :) Weight loss will slow down as you get nearer target, you could try changing what you eat, we can get into a rut and go for the same things all the time. Up the exercise or change the exercise u r doing. Make sure you are drinking plenty...

this brightened up my morning at work :)

If u r doing Extra easy you need to have your healthy extras each day - so 1 dairy and one fibre (bread, cereal etc) doesn't sound like you are eating enough! if u r hungry then snack on free foods ie apple, orange, strawberries etc. You can have upto 15 syns a day. You can get 2 Alpen Light...

yay! welcome on board :)

I must go bra shopping soon, wouldn't mind, only bought new ones 4 months ago before deciding I needed to lose the weight!

Laughing Cow E/L = 1 syn each milk S/s 568ml= 13 syns, so would say about 5 syns 2 weetabix = 6.5 syns ryvita crackerbread = 1 syn each hope that helps

sounds like the sort of thing I have done before, baked biscuits and forgot the sugar! made my friend eat them LOL!

I agree, salads are definitely not for winter!

Oh no AndiG! any idea why? I know my 1/2lb on is the previous two weeks coming back and biting me on the bum so am being really good this week :) so far no syns today :)

Shrimpy, you'll get those 2lbs by xmas :) well done. twiceasyummymummy, good luck with your weigh in :)

Oh what is the Miss Slinky about? love getting flowers :)

things seemed to catch up with me this week! put 1/2lb on so now 1lb from target at SW! hope to do better this week :) how is everyone else doing?

yes, only used three sheets of filo pastry, apple, cinnamon, sweetner, raisins and lemon juice and the obligatory fry light (I used the butter one).

Enjoy them :)

think there are a number of anomalies between the book and website! I would syn them at the higher value to be on the safe side, hope u get an answer though :)

.5lb on this week (it was the other halfs birthday!) oh well, now 1lb from target, hope to do it this week :)

I made the apple strudel from the Christmas book the other day, should serve 6 for 3.5syns each but we did it between 5 and it was delicious :) and very quick/easy to make.

I made the apple strudel from the Christmas book, it was delicious and really easy to make :)

This was exactyly what I was told by the bra fitter in Debenhams, although measuring can give u an indication, you actually have to try on the bra (bit like shoes! and clothes!!!) In some makes I was a 32F or 30E, when have been measured in M&S, my bras never fitted properly, I will always go...

I love OPI and Jessica and Nails Inc!!! but I always have problems with soft nails and varnish chipping. Not sure how some people managed to keep varnich chip free for ages!!! I have tried Nail Envy and it made no difference to my nails :(

managed another 1.5lb this week, can't believe it!!! so only .5lb to my SW target (which is slightly different to the one here!) hope to have some leaway for christmas LOL!

over the moon with 1.5lb off :) only .5lb to target !!!!

that was very unprofessional of her! ours cons will usually ask if we knew where we had found the weight from :) and will also ask if there is anything happening the next week that can take us off track and will suggest ways of coping with an event etc.

depends what she is prepared to do, I know jobs are much harder to come by now! but I was working from 12 3/4! I have done a paper round (couldn't get up in the winter!!!) kennel maid - did that for a couple of years, worked in a fish and chip shop (from age 16) did fruit picking in the summer...

My SW target is slightly different from here so officially only have 2lb to go!!! but think I may change it slightly so I can eat well at christmas :) I lost 1lb this week. Well done Fern, you well and truly seem to be back on track :happy096:

another 1lb hits the dust :)

thats good to hear, well done :)

pick yourself up and dust yourself off, its another week and you can lose that 1lb as quick as you found it :)

just remember that 'just' 1lb a week is 52lb in a year which will bring you real close to your target! It is a sensible weight loss especially as you are breastfeeding!

You are doing great, love it when you go down a size. I said to DH today - he has lost his bum and looks like he needs to go shopping soon!!!!!

No but it sounds fab!

I love the way they put the cals on the menus :) I can honestly say it did help me choose the healthier options when we went at Easter :)

Our cons also says you can eat as much as you like of free foods, as long as you have the equivalent 1/3 superfree!

will have to look out for these when I go shopping :)

Wow!!! what a fantastic week you are having :) I am sure your fellow slimmers were very happy for you :) big congratulations and enjoy New York :happy036:

I did 1.5lbs off this week :) certainly was not deserved and am waiting for it to come back and bite me on the bum!!!! I got my 1stone and Club 10 with week as well, so a happy little bunny (just would like me boobs back as I think that is where the 1.5lb came from!!!!)

Gilly, sorry to hear about your FiL, even though you were not close, it is still a sad and stressful time. I have been absolutely gobsmacked today! wasn't expecting anything WL wise following incidents with a baked cheesecake and some crackling!!! It obviously did me some good as managed...

wow, really puts it into perspective :) well done and see you only have 5lbs to go :)

love BNS and only found out this week it can be cooked with the skin on :) less work for me YAY!

thinking the the shiny but have decided to eat a small treat size pack of buttons - for 4 syns and I am spreading them out so they last :)

Monday 1st November B = 28g porridge with SS milk Snack = apple Lunch = SW quiche Dinner = Jacket potato, cold pork, baked beans, Extra light soft cheese and 1tbsp light Anchor (5.5 syns) Snack to beat chocolate craving - treat size chocolate buttons - 4 syns

hoping for 1stone award this week but the cravings are getting to me!

LOL don't u just love the emoticons!!! hope u r on track again today. I have been good but could really eat some chocolate!!! am trying to keep syns to a minimum after the incidents in the week!

If I don't lose this week its because of the baked cheesecake, ice cream and crackling, not together I might add!!!! Anyway, Sunday 31st Oct B = 'fried eggs', mushrooms, tomato L= banana, Snack = a finger of fudge Dinner = roast pork, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, SW roast potatoes, gravy...

must be one of those weeks, I had an incident with a baked cheesecake the other day and then a situation with some crackling today!!!!!

I wil :slap: you, now stop the comfort eating and get back on track :) you are so close to target now :)

whats wrong?

Well done Luverick! If I put on this week I'll know why!!! I had to make a cheesecake for work the other day and it didn't turn out right so we ate it! and today there was crackling on the pork :( should have got dh to carve it then I wouldn't have been tempted!!!!

extra easy is exactly that! easy you have 1 healthy extra a and B ach day and can eay unlimited foods from the free lists I have lost nearly 1stone in 3 months (didn't have a large amount to lose in the first place) I have between 3 and 15 syns a day - depends on how I am feeling/cravings etc...

the packet sauce doesn't come up on the syns calculator (but the Chicken tonight peppercorn sauce is 23 syns!!!!!)

red wine = 175mls = 6 syns so just over 12 syns for the bottle not sure about the knorr sauce, will go check

Try to find the petrol stations with Tesco etc attached :) I usually get chicken tikka pieces, salad, ff yoghurt and plenty of water.

well done everyone, I have surprised myself this week and managed 1.5lb but am sure that last weekend will catch up with me next week!!! We were given a taster of the Mince Pie Hi-Fi this week - yummy :) now Alpen Light need to make them so I can have 2 as a HEB!!!!

Take the icing off the cake - you save loads immediately! Breakfasts are easy at CP as you can cook your own, stock up on fruit/veg. You could just eat out once a day. Avoid the shakes/hot chocolate, do lots of swimming/biking/activities. OR Enjoy eat and rejoin us again once the week is over :)

Hi Fern, haven't been around much this week and went away for the weekend! not sure what the scales will tell me this week but there was quite alot of birthday cake eaten!!!

sorry! have been away! went to the greek restaurent, the food was dire and left most of it uneaten!!! will not go back there and judging by the look of the place its not likely to remain open for much longer!!! They need Gordon Ramsey in there LOL

Says it all really, friend is retiring and we are all off to a Greek restaurent, what are the best things to have???? At the moment, I am thinking soup and chicken kebabs with rice (although would love the stifado or mousakka but don't think the scales would LOL)

it was almost freezing when I left my house this morning, even with the heater on full blast, my hands haven't thawed!!!

Congratulations to all the family, welcome to the world little one :)

well done! you need one of our shiny stickers :)

you can do it online and there is lots of support here, children (well behaved!) are usually welcome to group, why don't you have a word with your local consultant, see what they say :)
