Proper down in the dumps. Worried about everything, have eaten a huge load of utter crap and want to cry. Haven't felt like this for ages. It's probably not weight related but I need to vent somewhere where nobody knows me. I don't know what became of that funny, bubbly, bright 20 year old and...

I was supposed to be fasting but have a migraine and if I let myself get too hungry, I know I'll vomit. Have had a chicken salad and will see what happens if and when this clears up :thumbdown:

I know, major bad planning, right?! :rolleyes: She loves it though and I've been putting it off for ages - I must develop an iron will in the next 9 hours!

Thanks! I've been a bit slack lately but am happy with my progress! Ooooh wine and cheese - my food heaven! I take it you had an amazing holiday then? x

Welcome back! Good on the hubby for jumping on the wagon with you - I bet it's so much easier with company! :)

Hopefully! Yesterday's DD turned into an up day. We went walking in the hills and I just used up too much energy to cope on 350 cals! We had a lovely bbq last night with the kids. Today has been a fairly low UD. I've had a fishfinger sandwich and a huuuuuge vegetable casserole so about 1000...

Weigh in.... aaaaaand..... drum roll.... 1lb on. Oh well. To be fair, I deserve it, I'm just surprised it didn't go on last week or the week before! I've been super good this week - it must have taken a while to catch up! :p I'm off out with an old friend tonight so no doubt wine will be...

I am terrible for sneaky weeks during the week but Friday is the weight i log. Usually 600-700call for an ID. My DDs are supposed to be quite low at 336 so anything over 450ish I class as an ID. Today's fast nearly done! Dying the roots to take my mind off nibbles then going to bed!

Fast day today. So far 1 coffee with a splash of milk. Will try to do the rest of the day on nothing and have a salad with a piece of cod or an omelettes tonight.

I'm totally back in the swing! Yay! Not expecting to lose much this week mind as I haven't exercised much. This stubborn eye infection has absolutely wrecked my swimming routine. In other news... I let the husband cook me meat tonight for the first time in yeeeears - I think 5 and a half years...

I do indeed, sometimes Sunday is an ID though! I weigh in on Friday mornings before my 2 UDs in a row :)

Fasting fasting fasting... have had about 100 cals of milk in coffees and am about to have a smallpiece of cod with steamed veg which doesn't add up to much at all, really...

Alcohol free week starts today! Yowch!!

I had some boullion :-) Have eaten a huge enormous bowl of veggies with gravy, and will have half a tin of tuna in a bit. I think it'll come in at 400ish. Not too bad.

Fasting today. Starving. Struggling. :mad:

Back on top today! Not fasting, but having delicious healthy food! Husband seems determined to convert me to Paleo/Primal still. He's thrown a copy of Robb Wolf's book at me as well as a list of local farm shops and butchers nearby who sell ethically raised meats. I'm not feeling particularly...

I'd feel a sense of achievement if I could do 3! :p Stomach doesn't sound good, Carrot. Is it something you often have problems with or just a recent thing?

No, I'm not that Striped :) Sounds like you have a good firm plan in mind. Is it going well? I've had a terribly fat week, hence the lack of posts - haven't really fasted at all - I think with being off work I've been thrown utterly out of routine, far too much lovely wine and cheeses eaten...

Fasting tomorrow... shall be living on eggs as per usual!

Well done you! I'm so jealous of those who can lose on a 5:2 pattern, sounds so much more tolerable!

I was back at 9st 5 yesterday morning :) Have had a kind of fast day today. I had a veg and cheese omelette coming in at 282, and am just sitting down with a very small glass of wine now. I've been reading the Primal Blueprint again and wondering if I could back to eating meat. The husband is...

Aw don't worry too much. I had 3 IDs this week rather than fasts and have been drinking wayyyyy too much (nice weather, hubby off work) and I maintained, so it won't be as bad as you think xx

Today is another fast day. Had a sneaky look on the scale this morning and the damage from my slack week hasn't been too bad : 9st 6.5 I'm trying a complete fast today to see how i go - I last ate at 9 last night and want to last til 9 tomorrow morning. Slipped up this morning by putting a...

Fasting today. Going to aim to get through the working day on black coffee, green tea and water and have a huge pile of stir fried veg with soy sauce when i get home!

Re: Will i ever reach the 9's!? It gets easier, I promise!

I totally get what you mean! It's great to get back in control!

Re: who is fasting today ???? Phew - made it through the day! I've just had a plain 3 egg omelette as I was too lazy to chop veg! Cals are coming in at about 250 so have enough left for a few cups of tea when I've got back from walking the mutts in the storm :-/

Fasting today. Have eaten hideous amounts of processed rubbish over the weekend so am looking forward to feeling back in control.

Hi all. I was just wanting to draw upon your experiences of transitioning to a primal/paleo way of life. Especially if there are any ex-vegetarians?! I'm not completely veggie as I eat fish a couple of times a week, but it's been a long time since I ate land-walkers! I've just read the Primal...

Down day today. I think I may do Mon/Wed/Fri this week rather than today and tomorrow as ddd, which kinda scares me a bit! I'm going to attempt to get through the day on black coffee and green tea til 6ish when I shall have a 3 egg onion and mushroom omelette. I barely got any sleep last night...

Hi! I tend not to count too strictly on ud's, but when i do bother to put it on MFP it's usually anywhere between 1200 and 1700 unless I've had wine too! I try to stick with my JUDDD calculation of 381 on dd's but it's often hard! I generally just try to stick to omelettes, tuna and salad on...

Celebrated with a lunch of cheese pasty, chocolate lime donut and a bag of wotsits. I now feel sick :eek:

Reached my first target of 9st 4! That's 1 stone off since June 1st! Whoop!

Oh and fasting today too - I definitely find it harder in this glorious weather when the fridge is full of icy cold bud and pinot grigio when all I want to do is sit outside with a large cold glass of something! :D

I'm quite convinced I've packed on about a stone this week - wine, wine, wine! Oh and fast day Tuesday turned into an ID thanks to a rather large bar of dark chocolate.... Tomorrow will tell :D On the upside, I'm feeling absolutely invigorated lately and reeeeeally happy!

Hmm, it turned into an intermediate day. Oh well, one more left this week!

Fast day for me today. Had a teeny salad at half 12 and i think it will just be green tea from now as I'm not in from work til 7 :(

Fasted today. It's been fine up until now - only 2 hours til bedtime though so lots of water will see me through!

Eating done for another fast day! Today I have had: smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with coffee - 264 Tin of tuna and salad 160ish 424 cals total. I'm feeling a lot more motivated now after my little strop of last week, and people have started to notice that I'm shrinking now so it's always...

3lbs off! This means I'm 1lb off losing a whole stone in two months - I have a week to lose that pound! In other news, I was given a copy of The Primal Blueprint the other week and am quite bowled over by the sheer common sense it makes and thinking about introducing some locally reared organic...

So Sunday's fast went down the pan a bit thanks to my Mum firing up the bbq. Tuesday was a 400 cal day (BOOM) but then there's today... 220 consumed so far but I've just had a lovely patio table and chairs delivered and I think the temptation to sit outside with a bottle of wine, stuffed olives...

I'm having a good old sulk this week.

Weekly weigh in and i stayed the same again despite 3 good fasts and only one bit of a binge on Saturday. Gutted is an understatement.

Having an options hot choc to fill me up til bedtime.

Another fast day and this is the hardest yet. I only got 2-3 hours sleep last night and am exhausted. Have done about 500 cals so over my juddd 20% by about 140. Am so tired I could cry and all I want to do is open the fridge and eat rubbish :( hoping the thought of weigh day tomorrow will get...

Another fast day here!

Fast day today. M&S prawns with chilling dip - 130 2 egg Omelette with mushrooms, onion and pepper - 184 Malted milk biscuit - 50 364 cals 20 points under the 20% as worked out on the JUDDD site. I am quite peckish however :mad: but not long now til bedtime so am going to postpone the...

Lordy I just downloaded this 10 mins ago on your recommendation. It went off and the sound made me DESPERATE for a wee! :D

Oh dear, went a bit mad on ye olde vino on Saturday... Fasted Sunday but am not holding out much hope for Friday's weigh in! Today has been an up day. Have probably eaten just over maintenance but am cutting it right back to what JUDDD recommends for 20% for my remaining two fast days this week...

Late night musing: Why is pig 'pork', cow 'beef' and sheep 'mutton, but chicken is 'chicken'?

I'm trying to b philosophical about it in that my clothes are fitting better and I've been canning the pool 4 times a week for the last 6 weeks so I must be toning up... Its just disappointing not to see the numbers decreasing. I do get frustrated when i don't lose fast. Oh well. This week just...

Weigh in. Sts. Gutted.

My carbon footprint increases tenfold on bath nights! Fast day today. M&S vegetable bake - 210 Veggie sushi - 140 Fruit - 50 Space invaders :D - 92 Coffee - 20 502 total. Kappowwww! Oh and I did about 15 lengths of the pool, not anywhere near what I usually do but I was feeling a little...

Fab stuff, well done!

Me. Fasting with a slight hangover is haaarrrrrd!

I've had a bit of a weird one today. Woke up not hungry but craving an egg and cheese subway, so nipped out of work to get one. Then had a biscuit and a cuppa at lunchtime and a crumpet with peanut butter after kids sports day. Now I'm not feeling hungry enough for tea at all but have a bottle...

If I open a bottle, I just *can't* leave any in there, it looks lonely when some has been taken out! I have been known to take a full bottle into the bath and emerge 4 hours later with a whole book read and in no fit state to give myself a decent blow-dry! :what:

I decided I couldn't possibly iron without my customary glass of wine in my hand :p so it'll have to wait til Friday!

Fasting today. One egg on teeny toast, one aubergine and mozaralla bake, one coffee with a splash of milk 487 cals. Feeling good about it today and all perky and happy! I had an amazing swim yesterday but it's left me itching to exercise again today and i've been too busy :( Just about to go and...

Fasting today. One egg on teeny toast, one aubergine and mozaralla bake, one coffee with a splash of milk 487 cals. Feeling good about it today and all perky and happy!

Its turned into a ud so this will be my first week with only 2 dd's. - eek!

Oh I so can't decide what to do today (dd) had a coffee and a bag of quavers earlier so 155 cals, but reeeeeeealy fancying a big cheese and pickle sandwich and the leftover half bottle of wine from last night, it's practically screaming at me from the kitchen...

Weigh in day! Another 2.5lbs off - YEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

No experience with either I'm afraid, but crunchy peanut butter is something I DO have a lot of experience of! :D I could live on the stuff!

Fast day almost over - my 5th in 11 days and the easiest yet! I was hungry earlier than usual having said that. I have eaten: Veg sushi - 140 Fruit - 50 Poached eggs x 2 on 1 toast with a scrape of spread - 275 Total - 465. Energy levels have been through the roof today and I have felt...

Well done that's fab! I remain unconvinced about potatoes though, the thought of eating that many makes me feel nauseated! :what:

Today is a fast day - feeling really positive about it!

Did so well on my up day yesterday... until the husband bought me a lovely bottle of shiraz last night! Lunch was an egg sandwich and a bag of wotsits. Yum. Then I snaffled a crunchie at 3pm. For dinner I had a mushroom, lowfat cheese and onion omelette with a micro veg bag and a small fairy...

Final fast day of the week. Swigging back the green tea like it's going out of fashion :thumbup:

Ah, you have a diary too! I had a toughish down day yesterday. The thought of it just being for one day got me through it! :):):)

Eee, what these kids do to us :p thanks for popping in :D

Scales hadn't shifted this morning. I'm not due to weigh in til friday really, but bah! :(

As title says, how often do you weigh yourself? I'm into myy second week and after 2 DDs (Sunday and yesterday) I'm a bit disappointed that the scales haven't shifted downover even by and ounce :( My 'official weigh day' is Friday but I've found that the last fortnight I'm weighing after every...

Wise words, thank you! I have ended up going over unfortunately, but only by about 60 calories so it could have been a lot worse! I had a small bag of crisps and a teeny biscuit when I got home from work to satisfy my junk craving. Then found myself licking lemon curd off the knife after I made...

Fast day. So unbelievably hungry for the first time, I'm thinking it's probably as it' unexpectedly ttotm, so my lunchtime swim is cancelled! Have just eaten a veg sushi snack pack (140cals) an hour earlier than I planned to eat, and am going to try to hold off for a couple of hours and then...

I'm fasting. Unusually, I've woken up starrrrrrving so am going to go for a swim to distract myself at lunchtime and then pig out on erm, a tin of soup :rolleyes:

What a day this is turning out to be! It started out horrendously - I put one of my contact lenses in this morning and the peroxide hadn't neutralised properly, the pain made me scream out loud and then had to hold my head under a cold tap until I could get the lens out :eek: A trip to the...

Well my feet have hardly touched the ground since Friday! Friday was a decent food day, it came in at about 1700 cals which is my maintenence amount. Yesterday was not so good - a mid afternoon cheese pasty, and a delish Indian takeaway last night (saag paneer, a 3rd of a roghani naan, half a...

Hi there! I'm pretty new on this forum, but thought I'd start a diary as I can't seem to find an active veggie one, and also to keep my motivation up! I'm a 32 year old full-time working, dog obsessed mother of two and trying to shift the baby weight -I say 'baby-weight' in the loosest possible...

Hi All! Am doing my first week back on 5:2/IF after coming off it 6 months ago in favour of SW. Having done a lot of reading up again, I see that the best effects are to be had from eating mainly protein on down days/ fast days. I don't eat meat although I do eat fish once a fortnight or so, and...

Goodness knows how after 5 days away in sunny Norfolk with the family, I've stayed the same at 9st 13! After a few too many chips to the chippy and wayyyyy too much wine, I was not expecting that at all! :D

I have finally found quark in Asda so baked bean lasagne here!

Argh! After 5 days on holiday and veering off plan, I am back at 10st - how frustrating although I am pleased it's not worse after living off fish and chips, pizza and shiraz all week! :p

I'm in the 9s!!!! :D (just! 9st 13 as of this morning)

Well done losers! :D 3lb off for me this morning. Quite pleased with that as I went disastrously off plan on Saturday evening. I'm hoping I can stick to it this week although I am going on holiday :rolleyes:

I ruined my week last night - too much pizza after too much gin. Gutted :(

Bbq! :D Quorn burgers, wholemeal bun, salad, l/f coleslaw, red onion and rosemary sausages :thumbup:

Takeaway and gin night! King prawn chow mein!

I'm torn between a jacket sped with cheese and beans, or cheese and onion omelette with beans.

I sneaked on the scales this morning and saw a number 9 for the first time this year! Over the moon, but it was only a mid-week weigh. Fingers and toes are crossed for Monday! :D

I'm having a lazy night - eggs, beans and sw chips!

Well done! I'm hoping that will be me on Monday, I 'm desperate to be back in the 9s - have been 10-10st 3 all year! I'd chuck the sauce if I were you! :)

Egg fried rice with loads of fresh ginger, spring onions and stir fried veg. Totally yum.

Thanks! That's what I ended up doing :) I find it really odd that there's no info on it as it's been increasing in popularity for a couple of years now.

That looks amazing!

It is.

I'm starting again today after piling on nearly a stone in the last year. I weighed in this morning at 10st 2. I had got down to 9st 4 last March but am determined this time to get to my target of 8st!

I'm starting out today and weighed this morning at 10st 2. It's seeming like a mammoth task to get to 8st again :( Wish me luck! :D

Hi All. I'm starting out again today (going it alone) after putting nearly a stone on in the last year. I will be doing green as the only meat I eat is fish, and then only occasionally. I have a pack of smoked river cobbler in the fridge and can't find in the books how much of it i can have as...

I don't give my kids artificial sweeteners either. Cakes, biscuits etc are always "full sugar", they have full fat yoghurts, but semi-skimmed milk (I have skimmed) I just have separate treats for them and myself, and it works fine. I eat differently for the majority of meals as I work full-time...

I think I'm safe in saying mine is the least odd food combo here ;) And mushy peas - bleugh!! :eek:

Chickpea daal and a baked potato - and as lunch is a bit pathetic today, it can't come quick enough!:(

I didn't think mine was odd either - it was like an egg mcmuffin from McD's but with dairylea and wholemeal rather than a cheese square and muffin! Cous-cous with beans though, I find that a little odd! :p:D

What is the most odd food combination you've put together to be sw friendly?! I say this after finishing a scrambled egg sandwich made with toast, dairylea, and a squirt of bbq sauce... I didn't think it was that odd but my colleagues made strange faces at it :p

Helloooo! Another from the North East here - from Teesside! :)

Have just posted on the Monday weigh-in thread, but as I'm going it alone from home, perhaps I should have posted here instead! So here's what I posted...:p Sneaking back into the SW group here... I am going to be a Monday weigher, I just weighed and have lost 4lbs in my first week :)

Hi! I'm pretty new round here too :) With regards to Slimming world, i'm pretty sure that the reason a lot of people put weight back on when they finish is because of the fact that they are so used to being able to satisfy their appetite with all the "free food" so when they can't... that's one...

Energetic living room activities - love it! If only it were true for me... I sit on my sofa for so often that it has a large bum-shaped dent in it! :-D

:ashamed0005: Thanks - I didn't know I could sub a shop brand! Cereal's the next step in my breakfast journey - I'm just not a morning eater!

I really struggle eating breakfast in the morning but have been managed to eat a piece of toast recently so thought I'd try moving to bigger and better things - cereal! Are there any 'supermarket own' cereals that I can have as a hex b? Being a bit skint I don't really want to buy kellogs or...
