Looks lovely :)

1lb off this week. 13.5lb in total. That 0.5lb is my nemesis at the moment! Bloomin' 0.5lb away from a stone!

I'm exactly the same. I've got the car today though which is a blessing - means we can venture further afield considering it's raining. Had a cheese & tomato sandwich so far today. 6 points.

I've been on track - but barely! Had a rough couple of days with the baby not sleeping well so I've been making crap choices. Got a tub of Pringles infront of me tempting me to be rubbish again.

Had a bit of a 'treat' today 'cause it's weigh in. Breaded chicken breast (6ppts) and micro chips (7ppts). It's total scummy food but it's what I wanted! Dinner was the bacon, rosemary and chicken pasta from the chickenlicious book (8ppts) and half a garlic and rosemary flatbread (8ppts). 29...

I bet it won't be as bad as you think x

Yeah definitely go back. You might have gained a couple of pounds but is it worth totally giving up? :)

Hey Lou. Sorry I ran away! Glad to see you're back on ww though :)

Hiya! I've not fallen off the wagon, just not been on here :) I've lost a total of 12lb and have 18 to go to my target in 14 weeks, eek! I bought the chickenlicious book today at group so I'm looking forward to working my way through that :)

Well it's a new start :) Did you join a class or just flying solo? I still have my sw book from January so it's the most recent one. Could pop it in the post to you if it'd help?

I really liked slimming world but it's not suiting me this time around - all about choices really. How are you getting on with it?

Louuuuuuu where are you?? :)

2lb off this week so 8.5lb in total and got my silver 7 and 5% :) 22lb and 17 weeks to go! Her birthday is the Sunday and I weigh in on Tuesday so I've nearer 18 weeks but I'll push for the 17.

Definitely although I've not started this week well. Yesterday I bought a family bag of crisps intending to break them down over the week. Did I hell, I eat the whole bag. However, it made me too full for dinner so I've only used 10 weeklies. Today I've come to my hairdressers without having...

Definitely is, I just have to stay focused! I should say, even though I lost 3.5lb this week we had a meal out at a restaurant, a meal out at a friends & a kfc - just reinforces the fact I don't need to stop living to follow the plan.

Yay! Getting there Lou :) x

You're so right :) Realised last night with a bit of mental maths that I have 18 weeks 'till Eilis' first birthday which was my original goal. So I have 18 weeks to lose 24lb.

I'd be happier if it didn't take a gain to make me do it, but onwards & upwards I suppose!

3.5lb off this week so more than cancels out my 1.5lb gain. Means I'm half a pound off my silver 6 which is a bit annoying but I'll get it next week.

Slowly but surely fitting back into my work clothes. My own scales are showing a loss but that means nothing cause they're generally useless!

I'm not actually that keen on proper nandos but you can buy the marinade in the supermarket and I like that, how odd? Been invited to dinner at a friends tonight so I'm hoping for something low point but not counting on it! Meeting my aunt at 12 at a ceramic painting place with the kids so I'm...

I was raging lol! I really wanted the Mexican chicken! Got a fussy baby today, we've been playing on the floor all day 'cause she won't let me out of her sight. Will take some getting used to for both of us to not be together everyday. Really looking forward to dinner now! Nandos chicken...

Cake in a cup?? Fill me in!

Well done on not having both lol :D

What a day yesterday! It was my first at work and then college so after my mum picked Eilis up (about 6pm on Wednesday) I didn't see her again 'till this morning. I've never been away that long and she wasn't that impressed! She wouldn't go to sleep for her daddy last night for ages, bless. I...

Asda do their own meal replacement bars if there's one near you x

Mind over matter Lou :) have a big glass of water to try to take the temptation away. So pleased you got your target, a week early as well!?

Went for lunch today with a friend and her baby, lots of fun. Had potato and leek soup, can I count it as filling & healthy? It didn't have any cream or anything in it so I can't see why it wouldn't be but I've never done this before! Popped into new look on my way back and found the dress I'm...

Haha she's gorgeous!! Eilis was 8lb 4.5, they kept telling me she'd be big so I was expecting bigger lol

YAY!!! Go Lou!!! :D :D x

Oh Lou look at your wee monster!! :D amazing. We had a better night lady night, she's now sitting next to me with a basket full of toys and playing with the basket! I'm only working 2 days a week so I've only actually been in once so far but I actually enjoyed it! I've text my leader to ask...

It's my fav - she's such a sweetie. Although I'm pretty sure she's having separation anxiety now though. She stayed at my mums on Sunday and last night wouldn't let me put her down. Ended up sleeping on the couch with her! Hoping for a better night tonight

Urgh top shop is the devil. I'm pretty sure the staff look at me like 'we don't cater for your kind here' when I walk in lol. Good luck with your challenge!!

You say piggy but it sounds awesome :D

I'm gutted that I missed the cheese in the quesadilla recipe but I countered it by having less chicken so still the same points. It was yummy! Planning on a hot chocolate (1ppt) with 4 sponge fingers (2ppts) as a bedtime treat after college. Not using all my points but I don't want to eat for...

Closing the door on my big fat weekend (other than Saturday I'm not sure it could have been worse!) I just made group this morning and I've a 1.5lb gain to show for it. Very much not the end of the world. Need to be more prepared this week & stop seeing food as a reward. I'll be going out for...

There's a difference between snacking & binging and WE DON'T BINGE ANYMORE. I dunno if you watch My Mad Fat Diary but this line struck a chord with me!

Back on the wagon today. I had 8ppts worth of crisps to make up my total. I've had a good think & given myself a good telling off. I want to say I won't 'cheat' anymore but who am I kidding? This is real life, not some ideal world. I want to be able to live whilst I'm losing weight. I could...

I'm feeling okay now. Hoping this ham is as good as it smells!!

Do you make the butternut squash soup with curry powder? I dunno if I just put too much in mine or what but it just wasn't nice :(

Why is it on the day I'M not feeling well oh and baby have a 2 hour nap whilst I make dinner?!

I doubt it after 2 big dinners but we'll see :) Feeling rotten today, I thought I was going to pass out earlier which is scary with the baby. Thankfully joe's home today so he's taken her to asda to save me going and give me a bit of a break. Breakfast - Cheerios & milk 5ppts Lunch - Half a...

Ooh one of my friends is from Cavan, I've never been though - hope its amazing for you :) Well I'm so far off the wagon I can't even see it anymore! I went to my friends' last night and she thought it'd be nice to buy in dinner for us. From dominos. It was ordered by the time I got there so I...

Ooh where are you going? I'll be up early tomorrow but joe will do the night feed. In theory. If he wants to swap that's cool with me! Just eat half a melon to stave off the hunger. Might go for the other half cause it's clearly not working!!

I just cancelled an appointment so that I can make weigh in on Tuesday. If I don't go I think I'll just go totally off the rails.

Shopping delivered today so I have a whole kitchen full of yummy food! Had a lie in today, thanks baba, so I've missed breakfast leaving me all sorts of points for lunch. Lunch - 2 WW petit pains 6ppts with ham 1ppt. Might fry light some mushrooms & tomatoes too Dinner - Roast gammon 8ppts...

Haha I think I'm just unorganised which makes me seem busy! Juggling work 2 days a week, college 2 nights a week and a 7 month old baby is not the easiest my life has ever been mind you! Good job I enjoy what I'm doing. Just need to resist crisps in tesco tonight.

Always the way! Joe phoned on his way home and moaned when I said we were having leftover pie so I had to make him a pizza. Heated my pie and I microwaved it for too long so it was horrible, eat some of it. Lost my appetite now though. I'm just heading to college (waiting in the car till 6 so...

Urgh I feel like I could eat a horse today. Had skips & 4 rich tea fingers so I guess I'm on to fruit now!!

Me too lol! Just blitzed it so will feed the baby and then maybe have a bowl :)

I just posted about it on Facebook and my ww leader said just to cut it in half, roast it and then scoop out the flesh when it's soft rather than cut the whole thing. Wish I'd asked before!!

Breakfast - WW bagel 4ppts, ham 1ppt Lunch - Soup & sandwich thin 3ppts Dinner - Chicken pie 14ppts with veg Snack - Skips 2ppts TOTAL - 24ppts 0 weeklies I'm making butternut squash soup, I hope it's nice 'cause cutting up a squash is such a faf!

That's 'cause cheese isn't a treat :D

I had a peek at the scales this morning and it's showing a 1lb loss which makes absolutely zero sense given that when I think I've done well it shows a gain! Back on the wagon today. Need to go organise dinner though, may be leftovers from last week that are in the freezer though cause my meal...

Exactly. I'm not gonna beat myself up about it. I enjoyed it and if I'm going out I'd rather do it properly and get what I want rather than the lowest point options cause that's not a real treat is it?

So I went totally off the rails today. Costa & tgis were involved. I'll leave it there! So no weeklies & lots of activity for the rest of the week! I did a good few hours walking with the baby strapped to me though so that's gotta be a few activity points!

Woohoo! Nearly there x

Subscribing!

I'm craving a McDonald's today. Could be dangerous!

Kinda winging it today with food, I'll update this as I go. Breakfast - ww bagel 4ppts with ham 1ppt

Hello!!

I had cake on Sunday and managed a 1lb loss so don't fret too much :) Good luck x

I have carbonara 9ppts on my meal plan for tomorrow. I can't find a 9ppt recipe and I have zero ingredients for carbonara in my fridge. Not sure what I was thinking there!

Quite a good day all in. Most of my points used in meals which is what I'm aiming for. Think I should probably cut down on bread and cheese too but one step at a time, eh? I'm actually beginning to annoy myself with points. I went to tesco after WI for a treat - was thinking nice bread and...

Exactly! We all have bad days, just need to move on :) hope you're less stressed now x

Breakfast - nothing on WI day! Lunch - 2 ww bagels 8ppts, ham 1ppt and tomato Dinner - layered Mexican chicken 12ppts with veg Snacks - popcorn 2ppts, rich tea fingers 3ppts TOTAL - 26ppts 49 weeklies left

I'm sure you'll be fine :) I've decided that last week I had too many treats for the sake of it. Namely Pringles! I was within my points but could have used them better so that's the plan for this week.

Had a bad feeling about WI this morning but I've lost 1lb so I can't complain.

Went a bit overboard with my pasta tonight. Had about 120g (cooked) rather than 90g but I have 8ppts left including weeklies so I'll just not eat anymore tonight. My mum forgot to give eilis' sleep music player back after she stayed there last night so I'm currently struggling to settle the...

Anytime :) I've subscribed anyway so just post any questions and I'll try to help x

Yeah it was really good. Only in 2 days a week so quite looking forward to it x

Heyy how was your weekend? :) I think this is the first time I've actually counted my weeklies properly! I'm pretty sure oh will want a takeaway tonight to celebrate my new job & passing my exam (yay) but he can wait till after WI tomorrow at least. Must say I'm loving the sound of my job...

Breakfast - Cheerios & Milk 5ppts Lunch - Sandwich thin 3ppts with cheese 3ppts and tomato Dinner - Spag bol 11ppts Snack - skips 2ppts TOTAL - 24ppts 6 weeklies left

Can't beat a late start Monday! I'm starting at 10.30 cause it's my first day but I'd imagine it'll be 9 from next week, gutted lol x

Woohoo for sleeping all night! I always just assume she's not going to so it's a nice bonus if she does lol

Honestly 36 is a lot more than I thought! I've never counted them before lol. Today started quite well. I put on the dress I chose for work and it felt quite baggy. Then I had a sneaky look at the scales ahead of WI tomorrow and I've apparently gained 3lb. Not impressed. The lesson is bit to...

How are you feeling? X

Woohooooo! X

So I used my remaining 10 points on 36 Pringles. Yes, I counted. I should probably use my points more nutritionally but they were awesome!

Ugh mine too Lou! Thankfully she's staying at her granny's tonight so I get a FULL NIGHT SLEEP!! I'm sure you'll appreciate how exciting this is!

Dinner was 4ppts! After all of my worrying. Breakfast - Cheerios & Milk 5ppts Lunch - Soup and a sandwich thin 3ppts Dinner - Spanish chicken 2ppts with potatoes 2ppts Snacks - Birthday cake 4ppts, 36 Pringles 10ppts TOTAL - 26ppts 6 weeklies left

Calm! Wine is 3-4 points per glass. How many other points did you have yesterday? Add them all up (don't feel bad if it's high, I had 57 yesterday!). Take 26 off of it and then take the rest off of your 49. Today you have another 26 points and then whatever's left from your 49 - easy :) Do...

You should :) I was sceptical every other time I've dieted but I've tried this time x

I bought this dress for eilis' christening in November and I couldn't get it on. Pleased :)

Sundays are difficult for me - my whole family treck to my grans for dinner so I've no idea what I'm having so I'm just restricting the points I have this morning and I'll have a treat tonight if I stay under :)

Not too bad! Could be a hell of a lot worse :) the exercise will be helping - have you been taking measurements?

Oh no :( hope shopping perks you up x

Snuck in a can of irn bru (trust oh to buy 500ml cans instead of the normal ones!) and some Pringles but still some weeklies left. By this time last week I had none so I'm sure I'll be fine. But worried about how to manage at work on Monday. First day at work for 8 months and I've no idea what...

You'll be fine, looking forward to seeing how much you've lost :D

I'm sure it'll be fine. In the 2nd week you have 49 weekly points rather than your treats and you can use them any time.

Heyy just tagging on to your diary if you don't mind x

You never know :) plus, if you don't lose at least you know why. There's nothing worse than mystery gains!

I know you're supposed to use all your dailies but how do weeklies work? Are you meant to use them all or can you use some/none/most? Just wondering what everyone else does.

Honk for yesterday!

Good luck!

I can't do it without the meetings. I need the accountability of someone 'judging' me!

The website is good for recipes. Bit rude about the diaries tbh - people aren't there to post what you're bothered about ;)

What are you having? I did level 1 of the 30 day shred this morning. I am KNACKERED!

Skipping breakfast didn't work 'cause the baby's a noisey wee soul and I didn't get my lie in! Going to get my nails & eyebrows done today so I'm having a 'me' afternoon followed by a Chinese for dinner, can't complain. Except I guarantee the me afternoon will be cut short!

Hello! Just a quick post to subscribe x

Hey Lou! Go you, I'm very impressed. Your start weight was similar to mine so if you can do it so can I :) xx

Tomorrow is cheat day. Breakfast - Cheerios & milk 5ppts Lunch - Baked potato 7ppts, chicken 2ppts, salsa 1ppt Dinner - Chicken curry with fried rice 30ppts, irn bru 6ppts Snack - about 20 Pringles, probably less but let's call it that 6ppts TOTAL - 57ppts eek! 6 weeklies left

Woohoo! Fridays are difficult, go you!

I'm in an absolutely foul mood and there's no apparent reason behind it! Joe called at quarter to six saying he was going to the gym after telling me he'd be home for half 5 - good job I didn't have dinner on! Need to channel my anger into the gym later and not into food. Food will not help.

We have Ashton's and parsons teething powder but I dunno if it works! I think she's just being clingy because she stops crying as soon as I walk into the room. I was at college last night so didn't do her bath or bottle so she was a bit needy when I picked her up. Made an absolute rookie...

I just weighed out half a portion of pasta (30g) thinking that it was lunch so a small portion would be fine - it's a tiny amount!! I've gone for spaghetti instead cause it seems like more but even then it's a 60g portion.

Woohoo go you!! :) x

Not too bad a night, only up once - struggled to get back to sleep though, always the way! Plan for today Breakfast - Nothing, been busy! Lunch - 60g pasta 6ppts, tinned tomatoes and cheese 2ppts Dinner - 2 sandwich thins 6ppts with mozzarella...

Eilis is crying already, gonna be a long night.

Woohoo! Always a good start!

Doing accountancy Emma :) sadly it's one of those professions where I'll never stop studying, even on maternity leave! My mood is directly influenced by the mood of my baby so I hope she's having a better night! Had half a packet of skips when I got home that baby had conveniently left me so...

Woohoo go you! :) when do you start?

Aim for 100% between now and weigh in and you might be surprised :) x

Just had an amazing chicken pie. 14ppts so it's quite high but the whole family eat it, even the baby! Had 2 bags of steamed veg too so I'm full up. Got a point left so might have a bag of skips after college (using 1 weekly as well) but I might just leave it. Bad mood day, good food day :)

She's teething but it's not really bothered her up 'till now. She's getting up wanting to play. Not cool. She's asleep on the bus now so hopefully will get a good sleep. The day is early, don't praise me yet!

I am in SUCH a bad mood today. Baby slept badly and then wouldn't go for a nap and is just incessantly whining and it's driving me mad. Meeting a friend and it's pouring with rain n she keeps texting me to get me to go for lunch - no. I'm on an effing diet. How hard is that to understand?! We're...

Thanks love, saved :) x

0 points would be best for soup 'cause I can just eat it whenever but I'd be open to low point soups too :) Was up 6 times during the night with the baby so I'm exhausted. Hoping I don't ruin it today through being really pissed off lol. Breakfast - Cheerios and semi skimmed milk 5ppts...

Went to the gym and someone was on the cross trainer when it was in my routine to be on it, I felt so useless lol! Got on it shortly after and then when it came to the treadmill I ran for 5 mins and then gave up. By the time I'd done my abs and weights I was more geared up though and went back...

Can I have your soup recipe if you get a chance? :)

My dentist used to have to give me double anaesthetic cause I was such a rubbish patient lol. Was worth it but meant I looked like I'd had a stroke afterwards!

Hope she's okay love xxx

True, I'm not keen on the ww website - plus I can use this on the app. Maybe I'm just updating too much :p

Bit of a change of plan today, I've updated my last post. Don't have mushrooms so a chicken and mushroom pie is fairly unachievable and I just can't be arsed going out today - gym later though. Decided to finish my crisps as a treat as well though. Bloody lovely they are too :)

Exactly, can't go backwards :) I've had so many fresh starts I've lost count lol!

Supernoodles, toast and alcohol got me through uni. Sometimes the alcohol made it too difficult to manage the noodles & toast. I was at my lightest then too - not a diet I'd rush to recommend though lol!

The weight watchers boards are so empty now-a-days. Every time I click on the current threads it's full of slimming world. Let's be having you (aye, alright Delia smith!) - declare your hello here :)

I used to do that too :D Living of soup at the moment cause it's 0 points (on ww) - I'm so unimaginative!

Way to go - I'm going to the gym tonight once I've put the baby to bed. Her daddy will be home though, just incase you think I'm abandoning her!

My mum taught me to make an omelette the day before I moved out, I lived off of them for about a year lol.

Good luck! You know you can do it but please don't give up that first week you don't make your target, it's a marathon - not a sprint (I'm here all week with cliches!). Subscribing for the journey - I'll bring the healthy snacks!

I don't want to speak too soon but I'm finding this incredibly easy! Maybe it's just 'cause it's early days and the motivation is there. I've ran out of diet coke, tomato purée, tomatoes and mushrooms so I'm considering nipping to the shop for them tomorrow but I'm also pretty skint so...

MissM I feel like I'm stalking you! I weighed in at 11st 13 today so I'm just in but hoping to get out the other side soon x

I'm off to I'm not unhappy to say, no offence! 3.5lb off today x

Woohoo!! Go you :D x

Ooh I'll have to have a look for that one :)

I'm pretty sure dominos have text or emailed me more since I've started weight watchers than they ever did before. How rude.

Sounds good, glad you enjoyed it! I've never really been into classes but I'll try meta fit on a Wednesday in a fortnight - ever tried it?

Thanks :) Breakfast - nothing 'cause of WI. Bad habit I know! Lunch - 2 brown sandwich thins 6ppts with mozzarella 5ppts, tomato purée, tomatoes and mushrooms Dinner - BBQ Chicken skewers 4ppts with rosemary potatoes 2ppts Snacks - Sensations 4ppts, skittles 5ppts TOTAL - 26ppts...

3.5lb off :)

Weigh in this morning - 3.5lb off :D Measured as well - 4in off total Very happy with that - got my first mini-goal of being into the 11s as well so my next goal is my half stone, another 3.5lb to go!

I don't like milk either but I can have it in cereal, I'm weird like that lol. Have a great day, raining here :(

Maybe your scales aren't the same as at class - don't be disheartened until you know how you've actually done!

Sometimes I wonder if joe (husband) is completely useless at things so that I don't ask him to do it again. Baby woke at half 11 so I asked him to give her a bottle - not unreasonable, it was only half 11 - but he 'forgot' to change her nappy so I had to get up anyway and then she was wide awake...

Half 10 :) Just been making tomato & basil. Think there's a good red pepper & butternut squash recipe kicking about, I'll post it up if I find it x

With water? Madness!

I weigh in the morning thankfully so I just have to skip breakfast :) good luck x

Exactly! I managed to fit in 70g crisps yesterday, it was awesome :D

I think the 2nd week they want you to do simple start but have 49 weekly points instead of 2 treats. I thought simple start seemed really restrictive n was more likely to make me give up than anything x

Looks good to me but I'm no expert lol x

Apparently that Josie one is good. I'm not sure what she's in, towie or something I think x

Not a bad day all in. Updated the post I'd done my plan in to reflect what I actually had. Weigh in is tomorrow so I'll have no breakfast - bad habit I know but what can you do? :D - and dinner is 7ppts so I'll have loads to play with for lunch. I'll probably end up having something really...

So did mine but I just agreed with her and then did points anyway 'cause I have the app lol. Rebel.

I'm the same. I live at the top of a hill so no matter where we (me & baby) go there's always a huge hill on the way back - you think I'd be used to it by now but I'm still puffing & panting!

Good luck! I'm sure the bran flakes won't be a problem. It's not like they're frosties or something lol x

Good luck tomorrow everyone x

God lors I'm in awe of your exercise! I really need to start doing more - thought I was doing okay 'till I seen that lol x

As an aside, I tend to snack on fruit but rarely track it.

When I first started sw I thought it was so much easier than ww but it's really not. Ww means I can eat pretty much anything but sw was really quite restrictive. Good luck :)

I flippin' hate that Jillian woman after doing the shred! I only lasted 12 days though lol.

Okay so I had a sneak peek on the scales this morning. I know I shouldn't, weigh in is tomorrow anyway. I'm just nervous because I've been exercising my butt off and usually when I do that my weight loss stalls. It's a bit annoying but I've taken measurements this time too so hopefully I'll see...

I only started last Tuesday so I've not had a weigh in yet! I lost a stone on it before and I was hardly trying so it definitely works!

Yeah you weigh everything really :) If you're sure about doing ww then you should sign up for the monthly pass, it's only £10 for the first month and the online tools are really good - gives you the points for everything. I seen a ******* deal last week for a discount on membership but I...

Most fruit & veg is free - potatoes are one exception I can think of. Diet juice is free too. So are most spices and low fat dressings etc x

Hey - looks like you're doing great. I'm an ex-sw'er too so just jumping in to say keep up the good work!

I think you probably joined when it was the old points? I'm not sure though. Now I think the minimum is 26 daily points and 49 weekly points to use over and above them.

Subscribing :) Started around the same time but as sw wasn't working for me I didn't fancy the simple start so went straight to points but interested to see how it works for you x

Good luck!!

Sundays are difficult. I go to my gran's for dinner so I never really know what I'll be having. Luckily today we had chicken! Breakfast - Cheerios with semi-skimmed milk 5ppts (I really need to branch out one of these days) Lunch - Cheese 3ppts & Tomato Toastie 4ppts and a bowl of tomato &...

Breakfast - Cheerios with semi skimmed milk 5ppts Lunch - Brown sandwich thin 3ppts, tomato purée, mozzarella 2ppts, mushrooms and tomatoes, apple. Dinner - Tomato & Basil Soup, Spag Bol 12ppts, 1/4 garlic flatbread 4ppts TOTAL - 26ppts Gym - 5 mins bike, 10 mins cross trainer...

Thanks Kaz :)

I promised myself I'd be happy with my weight by my daughter's 1st birthday. She's 7 months and I've still not started! Tuesday WI Starting weight - 12st 2.5lb Next target - Into the 11s Breakfast - Cheerios 3ppts, Semi-Skimmed Milk 2ppts Lunch - White pitta 4ppts, Mozzarella cheese 2ppts...

Joined on Tuesday at 12st 2.5lb. Hope to not be hanging around for long but I'm here for the moment! :)

I know. Isn't she adorable? :D thought it might keep me motivated (and show off)

It's just a wee cafe and I'm probably going tomorrow anyway so I'll ask. I remember seeing the weight watchers point on the back of a menu and it wasn't high so I'm thinking there was probably minimum cream if any. Unfortunately everything else was bread heavy :(

I don't THINK it had cream in it but I suppose it's hard to tell!

I'm also drinking my body weight in diet coke lol, it's better than full fat irn bru I suppose but I really need to reign it in. I had homemade tomato and basil soup from a cafe today, how would you syn it? I've not had any other syns today so I'm not concerned, just wondering for future

I feel like an absolute bottomless pit at the moment :( today I've had; - tomato & mushroom omelette - tomato & basil soup - noodles Dinner is steak, sw chips, tomatoes and mushrooms. I could eat my arm at the moment!

Can I crawl back, again? :(

The mayflower stuff is 77cals per 100g made up. 85g powder makes 500g sauce which is 2 portions so I don't see how it's low syn?

Don't get me wrong guys, I appreciate all suggestions and everyone who's taken the time to post, it's just a bit hurtful to be told I need to let my daughter cry and that I'm making a rod for my own back, as if I'm parenting wrong or I don't know what I'm doing x

I'll look at slings, thanks for the link. I generally don't need one though - she's sitting in her chair now, she just doesn't like it first thing in the morning and I find that if I don't eat breakfast I'm more likely to ruin the day when I get more hungry. I don't mind using my hex a - I...

Harsh to say I'm making excuses, I'm explaining the situation. I appreciate that sometimes I have to let her cry in order to get things done but I'd prefer to minimise that time as much as possible. I've thanked everyone for their suggestions so I'm not just being an ignorant cow. My daughter...

Not keen on slings (either of us lol) but I might give it another go. The problem is knowing when I'll get a chance to eat. She seems to know when I've just made a sandwich and starts screaming! I do eat, I'm just finding it hard to think of sw friendly food that's easy to grab

She was 12 weeks on Saturday. Motherhood is hard! Haha! I've put a wee pic up from her christening on Sunday. I know I can do SW. I just need to stick to it!

I don't work but I have a baby who takes all my attention in the morning. She doesn't go for a nap 'till nearer lunchtime and can be fussy about being put down in the morning.

Slinking back in. Somehow managed not to put on weight but I really need to lose! 12st 6.5lb this morning. Slimfast shake - 7syns & hexa Stirfry - 2.5syns

Thanks for the suggestions. I know this sounds nuts but I need something I can eat with one hand so can't be anything in a bowl lol.

Anyone mind if I come slinking back in? I've been eating like an absolute pig but thankfully I've not put on the stone I lost after Eilis was born, must have been all the running about after her that I'm doing! Back on today after I contemplated slim fast and then thought wtf, why would I do...

I don't have time unfortunately! I can make a shake in the same time as I make my baby's bottle - I don't have time to crack out the blender and stuff though. Although someone did buy her a baby food purée machine thing, I don't think she'd mind me borrowing it :D I have a tub of sf. I'll try...

I have a 12 week old baby so finding time for breakfast is a bit of a nightmare. I was going to do slimfast but honestly, it depresses the life out of me. I've worked out that 1 shake is 5.5 syns and a hex a so I was considering having this for breakfast with some fruit for my sf and following...

Gave in to a freddo at college. It's so good.

Managed to get lunch & dinner made - didn't get a chance to actually eat it but it's progress! Haha no really, I had pasta with tomatoes & sweet chilli chicken - combo wasn't as nice as I wanted it to be but at least I know now! Bolognese for dinner if I want to eat when I get home and it'll do...

I never watched it. I might now that I don't have to go through it again, not anytime soon anyway!

That's awful, not what you need at all love - try to calm down if you can. Who cares what the house was like? Why does your dad care? It's not like you messed up HIS house! Hope the honeymoon was awesome though :) Back on the plan properly today, no more distractions like crisps and...

2lb is awesome, you should be well chuffed with that :)

Watching midwives - I am so glad I didn't watch this before I had Eilis, it's terrifying! I have no idea why these women agree to be filmed either, wouldn't be me! I'm concerned that you see people being really quite calm and then screaming maniacs - I think I might have been the latter! Some...

Haha why not Christie :D

She was 4 weeks on Saturday but only 10 days old in those pics. She's just slept all the way through the football as well, angel :p shame about the result!

Woohoo they worked! Had a total crappy day today SW wise. Joe made enchiladas for dinner which I'm sure the syns are just off the scale. Back on track tomorrow. Promise!

Hope this works!

The app's being rubbish and not letting me post pics :( we got Eilis' professional photos back and she's just the cutest (imo of course) :D

Awk love, hope you're better soon x

Haha that is one of about 50 pics with him - that's a genuine number, not exaggerating lol. Good luck today, at least it's nearly over :)

So I went a bit off the rails in Tesco last night and bought a big bag of walkers sensations. It's the first time I've fancied crisps since I had Eilis so I thought I'd go with it. Didn't mean to eat them ALL mind you... It's cool, back on the wagon today! I've got all sorts of plans to do...

I'll maybe give that a go! Chinese sounds awesome, how exciting to be seeing your friend again as well - have an amazing time & good luck at weigh in. Joe had a nightmare with Eilis last night when I was at college. She's got a wee bit of a cold so we slept in the livingroom last night and...

Yeah - I had a proper crush on Stephen McManus. Sold him jeans once lol :D I'm good, up with the baby watching a program about super fans - there are a couple on here obsessed with Paul Burrell the royal butler guy and a guy with a Tony Christie shrine - wtf?

I worked in river island when I was at uni and we used to get footballers in quite a lot. I used to spend a lot of time hanging about the Celtic training ground at that time too so some of them would recognise me, took a bit of explaining to other staff lol :D

I'm bottle feeding Sammy so I don't get the extra hex's - boo! I was looking forward to them too. I've had no super free today, I REALLY need to get to the supermarket!

She's having a nightmare with this snuffly nose, I'm giving her saline drops to hopefully help but I'm not sure how much good they're doing. Made garlic mushrooms for lunch out of the freezer. Eilis woke up just as they were ready and they're vile anyway - that's what I get for straying from...

Not yet, she's got a wee snuffly nose so I've been nursing her all morning - think I'll stop at Tesco on the way home from college instead. Finally got a sleeping baby so going to make lunch - fingers crossed I get time to make and eat it!

Thanks Laura, it's good to know that I'm not the only one. I know it sounds daft but I suppose this is the bit of being a mum that you don't see other people go through so you just presume they're coping fine when they could easily be sobbing at 5am as well! Had a calmer night last night...

You've persuaded me to text my hairdresser in the morning. Not doing anything as adventurous as you though - easy to manage is what I need at the moment. I eventually want to go back to blonde though but it needs done every couple of weeks and I don't think I'll have time for that at the moment!

My phone is being rubbish & only letting me see one photo at a time but it keeps changing which one so I've just seen the punching one which is awesome lol :D Tried to do a Tesco shop to be delivered tomorrow but it was asking for all my card details which I didn't have to hand and now I've...

Haha totally, she's well on board - restricts my eating all the time! She had an awful night last night, well - more that I had an awful night! Couldn't cope at 5am and totally broke down. Joe phoned in sick to work today as well 'cause I was so useless. Hopefully we'll have a better night...

I was vaguely sensible at tgi's though, I had potato skins and steak with veg. There were chips on the plate though but by the time I'd had the veg and steak I didn't fancy them - result! Just weighed in, 4lb off - woohoo!

16.5 for a 600g portion on all plans according to syns online. My wi is tonight & I went to tgi's for lunch - oops!

God him and his brothers look so alike! Are they all brothers? Fran, the christening shouldn't be a problem, I already go to mass - I just have to talk to the priest about dates but we have a visiting priest at the moment so have to wait 'till the parish priest is back :)

I have an engagement party to go to in either 4 or 5 weeks (really need to note that date!) so I'm hoping to be down to 12st by then which is another 7lb on my scales, should be manageable. Then 8 or 9 weeks to Eilis' christening (hopefully, haven't actually spoke to the priest yet!) so a stone...

There does seem to be something in the air at the moment! My best friend told me yesterday she's pregnant. Thrilled for her! Got my 1st wi tomorrow after re-joining. I've been on the plan a few weeks now though so I won't get that big 1st week loss. Lost a stone on my own scales since I...

At my grans for dinner today which makes it more difficult to stay on plan. Had chicken & black bean sauce which is probably ridiculous syns but Eilis woke up so I only had a tiny bit which is probably for the best. Had a triangle of toblerone which I'm sure isn't low in syns either lol...

Wanted to have lemon chicken for dinner but by the time I got home it'd be too late to make it before mass. Just got the baby to sleep as well and it's almost time to go! Anyway, had sweet & sour out of a jar so that's 5.5 syns so used 6.5 so far. Might have a glass of irn bru tonight with my...

Friend came to visit today so we're at wetherspoons for lunch - such a lady of leisure! - Going for the sweet chili noodles with a diet pepsi for just 1 syn. I knew it was low syn so I ordered it and then checked, thrilled with how low lol, glad I didn't add the chicken though for an extra 9...

Ended up going to Harvester for dinner. Had rump steak & jacket potato with salad. I can't find the syns online for it but the same meal would be free in Wetherspoons so I don't imagine it'd be more than my 7 leftover syns. Explained to Joe that I'm really serious about SW this time and I need...

Way to get our hopes up Sammy!!

Salad done, 2 syns for croutons and 2.5 syns for dressing. I'll get a fat free dressing when this one is finished but I'm not chucking it for the sake of it. Had my hexa of cheese as well. Need to concentrate on drinking more water. When I came out of hospital I was drinking loads (partly...

Well they're not as comfy as they should be but I'm in my pre-baby jeans today - woop! Had a good night last night with the baby but I'm being punished for it today, she's not gone for a proper sleep since 7am which means I've been unable to do anything - food so far has been an Alpen light...

Way to go, clothes victories are the best ones!

I love how your mum stole your dad from the priesthood :D we were thinking about getting a blessing but our local priest was quite arsey about it saying if we wanted approval from the church we'd have to get married in the church and they wouldn't do it on a Sunday (our venue had insane minimum...

Charity shops is a good idea, I'll check them out. I've just spent my Tesco Clubcard vouchers on baby cowboy boots so I'll have to pick them up so I'll see if I can get a cheapo pair in Tesco even. Laura, I wore leggings with short dresses/long tops before I was pregnant but I think they make...

God, Em, that's insane. I hope your dream venue is more reasonable. I think we probably spent about £15k on our wedding including honeymoon. Still paying it off now mind you but I've been to a couple of weddings recently that were a lot cheaper than ours and although they were lovely and what...

Can't believe I didn't know you had a diary - that's what I get for having signatures turned off I suppose. Subscribing now :)

Failure is not an option :) you'll look great in your dress I'm sure - trying them on is ridiculously stressful though, be warned!! There's a great thread in the recipes section of meals with minimum ingredients, can't wait to try some of them :) good luck!

Thanks :) not tired now but I'm sure I will be when I reach a classroom! Meant to say this the other day, I had no idea that when you get draught diet coke in a pub it's not syn free! I don't really drink anyway but I'll need to remember to get cans if I do. Is that common knowledge and I've...

Ended up bringing baby to bed with me last night which is something I said I wouldn't do but I was exhausted! Fingers crossed she goes down at some point this afternoon cause I have 3 hours of accounts to get through tonight! Took a walk down to asda today, this exercise thing is still killing...

Mine is WI between 7 and half past and then image therapy from 7.30 till 8 so it's quite good, a previous class I went to was about 2 hours long which wasn't ideal when you hadn't had dinner before you went!

Exactly what Christie said, don't let anyone talk you into something you don't want or talk you out of something you've got your heart set on. It's you and your OH's day, not your families x

I bought a pomegranate from Tesco the other day, I have no idea what to do with it lol

I tend to have a couple of bits of fruit in the morning rather than try to fit it into meals, find it much easier Well done on the loss, 10lb is awesome in that amount of time!

Had a good day all in today, both baby wise & food wise - although she's refusing to go to bed now! B - Alpen light Snack - Apple bag L - Baked potato (didn't like the chicken but potato on its own was enough) Snack - Orange D - Sunshine steaks with potato & veg Snack - Custard cream So 3.5...

Hey aimz, slimming world is basically carb heaven when you're used to weight watchers and their measly pasta allowance! Feel free to ask any questions though, this thread's pretty active so you'll get a reply quick :) With wedding venues we (well, I) decided to go all out on our dream one. I...

The 500g jar of sauce is 15.5 syns on all plans - definitely be worth making your own! Good luck with the plan though. I had a baby 3 weeks ago so I'm still not allowed to do any exercise so I'm with you on that count :)

Enjoy your holiday and treat yourself, you deserve it - and you know it'll come back off! x

Good luck with your WI tonight :)

Typically, after my planning - baby woke up and screamed and screamed so I didn't manage to actually eat lunch! Took her to visit my work & Joe's work and she settled in the car so I had a kfc [oops!] - I had a brief look at the syns but it's not even worth talking about! Will be on low/no syns...

Once you get into your new routine you'll be fine, it's just a transition period :)

Hope your WI went well. Well done on 3 days of FF, it sounds hellish!

Aww I miss my bump, I know I have a cuddly little human now but it's just different! I miss wedding planning too actually :D I had a nightmare of a day yesterday, baby was in a terrible mood so I got no lunch and then had college so I ended up with a kfc. Oops! However, I do now have 5 baked...

The ring is gorgeous, huge congratulations! He certainly did good :D And MrsB, how stunning do you look?! I adore your flowers as well! Sorry I've been a bit awol, Eilis is taking up a fair bit of time as you can imagine! Joined group again last night 'cause I'm really rubbish at doing this on...

Joined a class last night 'cause I was really just pissing about trying to do it on my own - it just doesn't work for me. Official WI 12st 11.5lb The class seem nice, my only issue is that I'm already at college 2 evenings per week so it's leaving Joe with the baby on his own for an extra...
