Thanks Charlie. :) I um and ahh-ed since my last post and ended up putting on ANOTHER 2lbs.. so this morning I signed up to SW online.. inputted my weight and today is a new day! I am not staying at 15st 6lbs for long thank you!! As I signed up after having breakfast.. my brekkie wasn't very...

So.. Since August I have put on more weight and weighed in at 15stone 4lbs this morning :( I honestly saw the number and started crying. thinking about starting slimming world again.. just to try and get my head back in the game. I'm hating the fact that most of my clothes don't fit. Also god...

I will take a look at the book.. thanks. :) Am I right in thinking that natural sugar in stuff like fruit is okay? I love my fruit and hated having to give it up!

Hi Taz, Very interesting read! I tried to cut out Sugar before my wedding at the end of April and struggled a little. Are you still following this way of eating?

Weigh in yesterday.. back up to 14stone 10lbs. :( I just cant seem to get my head in the game. Im very good at work and then I get home and go.. "screw it!"

Weigh in today! lost 2lbs so it takes me back to 14stone 7lbs. 11lbs left to lose until I get to pre-wedding weight. urgh! food wise i have been pretty good today! had oats and yogurts with some blueberries for breakfast which I think is the way to go. It kept me full until lunch time! Lunch...

So.. i threw myself into it too quickly and got lazy over the weekend. Also didn't do my dvd yesterday. Need to stop messing about...

Thanks Jenny.. that is really sweet of you. :) So yesterday I had 18.5syns (woops) BUT I made sure I did my 25min workout dvd.. then for some reason decided in the evening that seeing as it was such a nice evening.. I should go for a run! So in total I did about 70min of exercise yesterday...

urgh see! Why can someone get pregnant from a one night stand.. yet I cant? lol Thanks for the fingers crossed.. although might need all of your limbs crossing! haha Lunch- Salmon with Garlic and a blob of grainy mustard, spinach and baked sweet potato Snacks- Quark and Options hot chocolate...

I think the problem is I assumed it would happen in the first month.. coz all my friends had it that way! haha So the fact that it is taking longer for us.. just feels so unfair. you know? Just hope there isnt anything wrong with me except my weight... (sigh) Not to brag.. but I think we maybe...

I really was.. especially as I was getting all these symptoms that I don't remember having before like feeling dizzy etc. It was a REAL kick in the teeth yesterday when TOTM came. :( But... I am trying not to think about it and focus on weight loss (although a lot easier said then done.) The...

Peanut Butter has 5syns per teaspoon! :grumble: Wish i had checked the syns before eating it! Already have 10 syns consumed for the day now. :( (sigh) Im seriously going to struggle to get back into this SW mindset! Have been so used to snacking on nuts etc. Breakfast- Apple with Whole Earth...

Weighed in this morning at 14stone 10lbs. :( The past couple of days or so I have been so awful with my eating... and to make matters worse.. my TOTM started today 3 DAYS LATE! :( I was getting so excited... Thought that this month must have been our month. (Frustrating as we technically did...

Thanks. I thought i was heavier then when I last went to SW about a year ago.. so to realise that I was actually about 7lbs less is a relief! Now just need to focus and carry on so I can get my next stone award. :) I have just eaten so much pineapple my mouth is now numb! haha :D:oops:

So i signed back up to Slimming world online and got my 1 stone award. Yey! :) Thats made me feel a bit better about myself. lol

Just realized you put in your last post that you had miscarriages.. I am so sorry. :(

Well i also check my cervix throughout the month as it is meant to be a good indication.. Mine has gone quite firm recently...I'm just waiting for it to drop as a sure indication AF is here. (Sorry probably TMI) I do tend to share too much info sometimes. :blahblah: Ive also been tracking my...

Hi Jenny! I was reading your SW diary actually through this pregnancy before I started this one. :) Had a rough couple of days if I am honest. Have not stuck to the plan at all! AF is due in about 4 days and I had some news that another friend of mine is pregnant and it was like a switch just...

Hi Biggirl.. thank you so much! :) So the past couple of days I have upped my fruit and veg intake and have been trying to exercise more. I am still tracking my food and exercise via MFP and have been in the green for the past couple of days. (yey!) Even in the green on fitbit too which has...

Hey all! So.. We have been trying to start a family now for about 4 months and nothing seems to be happening. :( I am convinced that my weight is to blame. I am currently 14stone 6lbs and I'm 5ft 7" tall. My BMI is apparently 31.8 which makes me obese. :( I really need to get back into the...

Thanks everyone.. I know i am being a moaning minny.. but its so frustrating when you have been trying really hard.. and your OH doesnt seem to be trying that hard and STILL manages to lose more then you. LOL

I havent had it yet! Still got 3 weeks to burn as many calories as possible and lose this weight! haha Although I know I wont be losing 14lbs... hopefully 7lbs.

It was fantastic to be in the 100's! I havent seen the 100's for about 6 years I think... was pretty chuffed! But as always.. it's just not good enough. LOL

To be honest no I havent.. I have a pair of size 16 jeans that I have been using as my goal.. and as a guide to see how I am getting on. Im just so frustrated with myself for not "trying" harder at the beginning.. so I am not at the weight I wanted to be for my wedding. I just hope I don't...

So I have been seeing a personal trainer since January in an attempt to lose as much as possible before the wedding. I really wanted to drop a dress size or two and get back into at least size 16... instead of the 18s that I am in currently. He took my measurements again this week to see my...

When I was on SW, We tried the Chicken Jambalaya and it was lovely. Very filling. :) Just wanted to pop in to say congrats on your weight loss.. you are doing so well!

No im not doing Dukan.. although Ive always looked at it and thought maybe I should! My personal trainer put me on a plan where I wasn't allowed Gluten / Diary / Caffiene or Sugar.. It was working really well but I have struggled to get back on it properly! I'm basically just trying to exercise...

Hi there! I am getting married too but in about 4.5weeks. I am also trying to drop some weight before the big day! :) How much are you hoping to lose in the next 3 weeks?

So.. We are nearing the end of March... (only one week to go!) And... I am not going to reach my target. :( In total I have lost 15lbs since I started this diary. :( I am spending the next 4 weeks trying to lose as MUCH as I can.. Aiming for a stone.. but I know it will be pretty hard.

Hey! I am on a "sugar free diet." The idea is to eat as much "real" food as possible. Anything that comes pre-made or in a jar or a tin, normally has tons of added sugar in it. Avoid low fat products as they remove the fat and add sugar. A normal day for me will look something like this...

So I'm still here!! I just havent' been posting as much because life started getting busy again. I weighed in this morning at 14stone 3lbs.. I AM FINALLY BACK IN THE 100's RANGE! :bestwishes::winner: I dont think I have been in the 100's for about 6 years.. People are FINALLY starting to...

So.. yesterday I chickend out. :( I sent the counsellor a text instead of going to the meeting. I feel lifted in a way but sad at the same time. There is something nice about getting the weight loss certificates from Slimming World which I will miss! haha Food wise I'm not doing too badly today...

Happy Valentines day everyone! Man it is quiet around here.. Where is everyone? So.. I am going to try and make the weigh in at Slimming World today and am going to tell my counseller that I will not be able to attend anymore as "can't afford it." (bit of a white lie but thought that was better...

So.. I really dont know what to do about Slimming world.. Technically I am not following it at all! I'm eating tons of avacado and tons of nuts.. all which aren't allowed on the SW diet. Yes I am losing weight but at the same time.. I feel like a fraud! :confused: Plus I guess the £5 I currently...

Lunch- Trout fillet salad (beetroot, cherry tomatoes, cucumber) with a small drizzle of oil and balsamic vinegar. Thanks for the congrats.. I was pretty happy seeing as I didn't really follow it at the weekend. lol

So I still went to Slimming World last night for my weigh in (even though I'm not following the diet this week, it keeps me accountable.) I lost 2lbs. yey! Breakfast- 2x bacon, 2x eggs, spinach and mushrooms I'm working from home today so thought I would have something different to the smoothie..

What about having a herbal / fruit tea instead? I try and have a sweet tasting tea to try and get rid of the sweet urge.. and to stop me from snacking. haha

Minerva.. its bloody horrible. I never thought that I had that much... like 1 or 2 cups of coffee and say 3 cups of tea... I thought it was pretty decent.. APPARENTLY NOT! The headache I am getting.. jeeeez! Not to mention the sweet craving that I have all because I have been told I am not...

lol Typical.. the day that I decide to fully commit to the SW plan.. is the day that my trainer decides to give me a nutrition plan to follow... and most of what he says goes against the slimming world plan. PT wants me to give up caffiene, sugar, dairy and gluten for the next week. This is so...

Hope everyones weekend went well? Mine seemed to fly past.. can't quite believe it is Monday already! So I've made a decision to try and follow the SW plan to the T! No more sneaking syns because I think " a few extra wont hurt." They obviously do as I'm not losing at the rate I want to be. I...

Well.. I would agree with you.. but I have been "Calourie Counting" for so long now.. and it wasn't working. This is why I went to Slimming world to try and i dunno.. push me into it I guess.. actually do something that might work! :confused: No your right.. I should focus on doing just ONE...

AND I've just realised that I am an idiot.. I HAVE been using my HEB option... with my porridge! :oops:

See.. this is what frustrates me SO MUCH! Calories wise.. I haven't actually eaten that much! Here is a snapshot of my MFP diary for the day. Around 1,200 calories! *sigh* But Syns.. .Syns I am over! Again! My Graze pot was a fruity, granola type thing... (which isn't that bad for you.) And corn...

Syns 2x Cheddar Babybel- 7syns Graze pack- 6syns Corn thins x4- 5.5Syns Wispa- 10syns!! Total- 28.5 syns. :rant::banghead::badmood:

I have to admit.. I HATE fry light. I'm sure its what is ruining all my pans. :mad: In the long run.. you are doing more exercise and eating "better." So weight loss is surely going to happen right? (She says.. Although I have a habit of eating far far too much.)

So evenings are definitly my downfall when it comes to over eating. Went to the gym last night and ran my 2nd fastest 5k on the treadmill in 40:09! :D Got home and was STARVING! Luckily my OH had made me a salad with sardines and two hard boiled eggs.. so that wasn't too bad. It was the kinder...

Hi Minerva! Thanks for dropping in and saying hi. :) I try and wear the same jeans.. and a light top so that I get a samely sort of weigh in.. (if that makes sense.) Can't get away with not drinking coffee for 4hrs before.. I live off the stuff at the moment! haha

I am trying not to let it get me down.. Sadly i don't have a "morning" session which I can go to.. so evening is basically my only choice! I tried to eat "light" on my weigh in days but in reality its kinda cheating isnt it. lol Still focusing on upping my exercise.. hopefully that will help...

So I had a moment of weakness and was like.. what's another 11 mikado sticks gonna do! It's not gonna hurt... So my total syns for yesterday was 25. *gah* I did do my workout yesterday though and feeling it this morning I must admit. It annoys me greatly how my scales at home will tell me I...

ffs.. under-estimated the amount of syns in Mikado sticks. I thought it was 0.5syns for 2 or 3! :badmood: Syns Wrap- 9syns!! :banghead: Avocado- 5syns Mikado sticks- 11syns (22 sticks) Total- 25 syns *sigh*

I am trying to follow Slimming world and also having a trainer once a week. Only once or twice has his plan clashed with SW plan. Actually saying that.. SW focuses a LOT on the numbers on the scale.. low fat etc etc. My trainer focuses more on strength (obviously) and eating "good fats." ie...

update on food: Breakfast- breakfast wrap. (2x bacon medallions, 2x eggs, tomato ketchup (s) in a wrap (syn)) Lunch- Salad with onion, tomatoes, avacado (half), sweetcorn and a chicken drumstick. Supper- I might try and attempt SW homemade burgers with some salad. Got some mince and cant be...

Sadly it doesn't work like that.. because of the way they are cooked. The oil etc.. If you have eaten the whole back I would suggest going with 15syns! Sorry. You know there is a syn section on this forum? If you asked the question in there.. someone might be able to help better then I can. :)

Are they the individual ones? Tesco Indian Kitchen Snack Selection, chilled 12 pack (1 pakora)- 3 1/2 syns each. If I can't find them in the SW syns calculator, I go by the rule of 20calories = 1syn Hope that helps!

Right.. Snap out of it! If you are good.. as in really good.. you can lose at least a stone in a month. COME ON! you know you can do this... now do it!! :rant: Breakfast- breakfast wrap. (2x bacon medallions, 2x eggs, tomato ketchup (s) in a wrap (syn)) Lunch- Not sure.. maybe a salad? could...

Well it was to be expected.. 1/2lb gain. :(

It was.. Okay. But to be honest.. in the past I have had a smoothie for breakfast (made from fruit) and then felt really hungry a couple of hours later. My green smoothie managed to make me hold out until lunch.. But i have been really mentally hungry for most of the day.. a real empty day. :(...

Syns Avacado- 5 syns Nakd cocoa Orange- 7syns Total- 12 syns

HA HA! Ive just looked up to see if Seeds are on the Healthy B list and they are!!! "2 level dessert spoons pumpkin seeds" This is what I had. :D So 5 syns for my half an avacado. WOO HOOO! HEA- 3x light babybel HEB- 2 level dessert spoons pumpkin seeds Syns Avacado- 5 syns Total- 5 syns

Oh Dear.. I think my personal trainer and the slimming world plan are going to clash. He has tasked me with having a "green smoothie" in the morning for breakfast to help kick my weight loss into gear... It has seeds *gasp* and Avacado *big gasp* in it! There go my syns for chocolate...

Well done on your 5lbs! I need to take a leaf out of your book and be a bit more serious about this again.. been slacking terribly! No time for slacking! lol

I know.. I need to snap back into thinking about how i am going to look in my dress. Woke up in a mild panic as I realised it is in about 89 days.... I basically have 12 weeks to drop as much as posssible. o_O Think I need to find more time to exercise.. When I was marathon training and out...

So this weekend was a write off for food and exercise. I ate tons of rubbish and didnt exercise at all... So this morning I'm feeling bloated and sluggish. :( Tomorrow wont be a good weigh in, that's for sure! Spoke to the family planning nurse this morning on the phone and she started having a...

To be honest.. No.. It came completely out of the blue. :( What makes it worse is that she is based in America and I can't get over there. Has to be the worst news I could have recieved. :(:(:(:( Needless to say i am struggling not to eat everything and anything today. I always have a tendancy...

So today is a write off.. Just had horrible news that a friend of mine has terminal cancer.. and before I knew it I'd eaten everything in sight. :(

So.. i enjoyed the crumble a lot! But I enjoyed it a little bit too much and had a second helping. :( So syns yesterday were way over... Again! I have been trying to count my calories at the same time as doing Slimming world via My Fittness pal. I originally had my calories set at 1,200 and was...

Lunch- Rocket with sweetcorn, a tin of tuna and beetroot. Was tempted to put some dressing on it and then remembered I am saving my syns for the crumble. *drools* Done my work out! Tempted to try and do another later depending on how im feeling as it felt a bit easy? :confused:

So we have homemade apple crumble in the fridge.. I just worked out the syns and one portion of Apple crumble with custard is going to take me to 16syns. So.. My aim is to have just free food throughout the day and to have this as my treat later. But I can only have it if I do my workout too...

Well done on the loss! I put on 0.5lb. :( But to be fair I didn't follow the plan at all over the weekend so it is to be expected. I am VERY low on SW friendly food round the house at the moment. Need to get prepared. Your breakfast sounds nice. :) Hope you get your 3lbs!

So.. 0.5lb gain for me this week. :( To be honest I'm not surprised as I really didnt follow to plan on Sunday and I ate far too many syns on Monday evening. NEED TO SNAP BACK ON IT!! Ive been calorie counting now for so long that I think its too easy for me to slip back into that mindset of...

Sorry for being such a moaning minny.. but I really don't deal with stress very well! I've been overweight basically most of my life.. and my family are putting a bit of pressure on me now to lose the weight before the big day. I KNOW in my heart that I would feel better if I lost a bit more...

oh no.. sorry to hear that you have had the flu. that is rottern. :( Hopefully you aren't like me and want to eat when your ill?

Hey! I am also trying to lose weight for my wedding (although mine is at the end of April THIS YEAR!). I'm trying to get to to just under 13stone before then. (I started at about 15stone 1lb before christmas) and am using Slimming World to do it too. (Although I go to a group.) Funnily enough I...

I am having one of those moments where I just feel discouraged.. (again.) So instead of stuffing my face with things I shouldnt, I thought I would come on here and moan. :blahblah: I'm feeling better about myself generally.. like for example we saw someone on sunday who I haven't seen in months...

Yeah they are oaty buiscut type things.. I guess you would call them a ceral bar!

urgh.. why.. why are these so high in syns. :( 1 of McVities Breakfast Oaty Breaks Porridge Oat Fingers, Golden Syrup - 9.5 syns Total- 12.5 syns

Ive realised I've become really bad with logging my syns and making sure I have my healthy extras. I haven't been eating a lot of "Naughty" stuff... but I've probably had too many healthy snacks which would be syns. (Like nuts or using oil for cooking.) I'm sure my losses would be a lot greater...

So weigh in tonight was 0.5lbs lost! Not to bad seeing as I last weighed in only 5 days ago. :) Littlemisspiggy... I have no idea how I managed to resist.. I really don't. Normally that would have been my first reaction.

So Lunch was really un-appetising and a basic dissapointment. I cooked some haddock with kale and green beans (and a bit of cajun) yesterday and brought the leftovers in for lunch today... FORGETTING that fish stinks the microwave out. So as not to upsett anyone (because I can't put up with...

Shouldn't have done that.. wanted to work out the total lost since I started on the 6th December.. 3lbs.. 3 stupid lbs! :( Thats basically 0.5lb a week since I started 6 weeks ago!!! Need to step up a gear again..

Thanks Guys! So sorry I have been a bit absent recently. I wasn't very well over the weekend and ended up having yesterday off Sick.. got that blasted cold and cough that is going round. meh! Work is pretty hectic at the moment.. We seem to be behind on our workloads so am constantly...

WOOO! Last night I had my weigh in and I lost 3.5lbs! That's the most I have ever lost in a week. BUZZING!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Lunch- Salad with smoked salmon, eggs, celery, tomatoes, 5 olives and some oil + balsamic dressing. Snacks- horseradish peas Syns Olives- 1syn Dressing- 2syns horseradish peas- 5.5syns Total= 8.5syns No weigh in today because I am off to the dentist.. so I am going to try and make the same...

So.. My PT session yesterday was pretty informative that is for sure! He took a load of measurements which was a bit of a slap in the face. :( 42.6% body fat.. and a metabolic age of 46! I'm 31 and my metabolic age is blasted 46!! (Apparently this isn't as bad as it sounds.. he has had someone...

Thats for about 3 roast potatoes.. I think my OH used a lot of oil in his.. so I estimated it to be about 6 syns based on what i thought the calories were.

So yesterday we had some friends round for a roast dinner. (pork.. yummy!) I ate and drank far too much and am now kicking myself. Also didn't get round to doing my exercise.. So woke up this morning feeling a bit down. :( Saying that.. Auntie Flow is due this week so I am bound to feel a bit...

Yeah I haven't eaten the best.. too many syns.. but have managed to keep below 2,000 calories (I track everything on MFP) so hopefully haven't cooked up too badly. Was so so tempted to order pizza for supper.. but my OH (bless him) cooked us a mince stir fry instead.. so we could keep on plan.

So I sorta stayed on the wagon.. did about an hours exercise when I got home yesterday.. and then was starving so ate a bit more than I should have. But it's okay.. still going strong. So.. the dress fit.. but my back looks terrible. :( major back bulging going on and I Hate the way my arms...

Thanks Piggy.. you have no idea! The cheek of it just astounds me.. Like I appreciate that one of them has low self esteem at the moment.. but (without trying to be rude) that's not my issue is it! She shouldnt have said yes to being my bridesmaid if she was this worried about it. When I was MoH...

So.. last night was a nightmare.. Not going to lie. I forced myself to go to the gym to do a work out. Managed to jog on the treadmill for about 2.28miles before I felt so sick I had to get off. Had to sit in the changing rooms for about 5 minutes to stop my head from spinning. I then went...

gah! So.. a friend of ours who we haven't seen in ages has decided to come around tonight.. and wants to eat Chinese takeaway.. I LOVE Chinese... my favourite is the sweet and sour chicken balls. :( The normal thing is to get lots of dishes and share.. I've been trying to google what would be...

I guess pate is the wrong word for it.. as pate is normally.. thick isnt it. This is more like taramasalata.. I think I should probably call it that instead! lol I'm really trying this week to be good.. just hope I get a good loss to keep my momentum up!! My scales at home read a good reading...

it's pretty easy... I literally put quark, salmon and some lemon juice into a blender and blitzed it up until it was smooth. :) It goes a bit runny if you leave it in the fridge for a bit.. but just give it a quick stir and its good to go. Yummy!

Haha... exactly what it says! :p these are them: http://www.healthyfoods-online.com/lapsnacks-habas-picante-200g.html So.. my "must ignore treats at cinema" resolve went down the drain. Ended up having a small packet of revels. So my syns are way over what they should have been.. But i've had a...

Guess I better count up my syns really: Syns oil - 2syns hot chocolate- 2syns roasted broad beans in batter (54g)- 12syns Total- 16. (oops) Although looking at my diary for yesterday I only had 2syns so not too bad I guess.

Forgot to add... Supper- Homde made slow cooker beef stew! (its been cooking all day) with some white rice. we are off to the cinema later so am looking for a "treat" i can take with me which wont make me go over the syns. Hopefully actually if I have just eaten I wont feel the need to have...

Lunch- smoked slamon salad (rocket, cucumber, baby corn, tomatoes, spinach, celery, red pepper) with some oil and balsamic vinegar dressing (which i presume I have to syn?) I then was really craving something sweet so had a bit of quark left over.. mixed in some light hot chocolate and boom! a...

oh no! But i guess at least the gain didn't come as a shock if you expected it. I know you can do it! That 3.5lbs will come flying off next week. :)

What the actual?! Just weighed myself at home (naked and after a pee.. as you do! lol) and I've apparently dropped 4lbs in the night. WHY?! WHY could you not have had this reading last night?!?!:banghead: :rant: Anyway.. as I am Working from Home today I thought I would treat myself to a...

I am motivated... for now. Lol I have a habit of doing this though..staying motivated for about a week and then going sod it. :p but this time round the sod it can't happen! (I say that now but if I don't have a decent weight loss next weigh in.. then I'm gonna be so angry.)

I've only really just started with the whol exercising so will take a while for me to see any effects. Just disheartening as I weighed at home and my scales told me I had lost. :( Oh well.. I have tuna salad with sweetcorn and eggs later and might have a coffee muller light as my pudding...

Well it was as bad as expected. 1.5lbs gained. :(:mad:

I hope you are right.. however this week I am upping exercise and making sure i eat right... i dont have enough time anymore to play around now!! After all.. it is only 3 months of no socialising and lots of exercise. You only get married once.. I have to make this perfect!!

Hi Grunka! Good luck for your weigh in later!! Yeah they can do adjustments. This isnt an offical fitting per say. Basically they emailed me to say that my dress had arrived and would I like to come and see it. So i went.. can i try it on? My first offical fitting where they will take...

Hi Littlemisspiggy! Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow. I hope it isn't bad! I am not feeling too positive about tonight.. Fingers crossed it is okay! haha I just hate the thought of seeing it on the peg and gushing how beautiful it is etc etc.. and then that feeling of dread when you go...

Happy new year to everyone who is reading this! :) So I got it wrong.. and my personal trainer starts NEXT monday (9th).. did think it was odd that he was working on a bank holiday! :p My new years weekend was.. okay. I tried to be good and bar new years eve when i drank too much prosecco and...

So I have just had an email... "We are pleased to tell you that we have now recieved your wedding dress. If you would like to come for a fitting then please let us know.! OH.. MY.. GOD.... :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I can't tell you how much I am freaking out right now.. I have not lost...

Im beginning to think that Home is where the problem is! we were really good and had a tuna salad for supper with a hard boiled egg. I then at about 9pm decided that I fancied 4 thorntons truffles and 3 mini stollens. God knows how many syns I had and I've got to the point where I don't want to...

So.. yesterday food wise was great until I got home.. and I then pigged on a bit too much chocolate.. which means my syns were in the 20-30 range. :( I "treated" myself to a Gingerbread latte on the way to work this morning (really wanted an Egg Nog but they had run out.) In my "I'm not awake"...

After Christmas weigh-in: 14stone 13lbs Actually.. I have to admit I am pretty happy with this! I knew I wouldn't LOSE over christmas.. but I never thought I would maintain! . All in all.. I am happy! Christmas was a chilled affair just seeing family. Now back at work to close the quarter.. so...

Well today is a right off.. damn pizza! I wolf down about 6 slices before I really thought about what I was doing. That's basically my whole daily allowance in calories in JUST ONE MEAL! Thankfully I don't think I have time for supper later as I am having to drive to my mums after work.. and...

Yesterdays Syns.. out of the window! And todays looking to be the same as our departmental manager is treating us to Pizza for lunch. o_O:confused: Im going to try and limit myself to only 3 slices!

Syns Oxo- 0.5syns Biltong- 5.5syns Habas Fritas- 8syns Total- 14syns Damn it.. Habas Fritas are not as "good" as I thought they were.:(

I threw sweetcorn, brussel sprouts, onions, peppers and carrotts into my pesto pasta. Would have put mushrooms in it but we had run out. :) I bloody love it.. could eat TONS and TONS of it. (which isn't good seeing as its full of calories lol) Rather you then me on the Jager! My tipple of...

ha! No way! I ALSO gained 0.5lbs this week. You and I are too much in sync. :p Although.. you weigh less then me now so.. I'll shut up. haha My goal is also to maintain over Christmas.. I highly doubt I will be able to lose!

To be honest... after the amount of rubbish I ate last week.. I was very surprised it wasn't more then 0.5lbs!! I am telling myself that I am going to try and stick to plan as much as posisble over Christmas. After all.. food is just fuel! I want to be able to eat to live.. and not to live to...

Well.. it was as I feared.. I had a gain of 0.5lbs. :-( guess it could have been a lot worse!!

Hope your weigh in goes okay today! I am dreading mine too.. Weekend away was great but not so great for the eating. :confused: If I manage to maintain over christmas I will be happy! haha I guess you just have to look at how far you have come.. and how proud you should be! 2 stone lost is an...

Okay.. Today I have been pretty busy up and until now so haven't had the chance to eat too much! haha Breakfast- grapes and a pink lady apple Lunch- Home made soup (Chicken, kale, carrots, chicken stock, onion, brocilli, brussel sprouts with a couple of oxo cubes and bisto gravy granules.)...

So much for good choices... I went home and scoffed too many chocolate covered raisins! gah! :( Weighed myself this morning and I seem to be the same. If I eat well today.. then I will be a maintain. *sigh*

Syns Biltong- 2.5syns Soup-11.5 syns graze box- 7syns Total- 21syns Damn.. I really didn't think that the little punnet of broad beans would have that many syns in it! (140/20=7) I plan on making a batch of soup tonight with some left over chicken, home made stock and veggies. That will stop...

Yes.. very true Cynicalgirl.. this is what I keep telling myself.. At least I am still trying! lol We are pretty busy at work at the moment.. so as long as I can keep away from the goodies in the office.. I should hopefully be okay!

So.. Harry potter was AMAZING!! I have never seen magic done so well on the stage. It was well and truly awesome. I'm still buzzing from it! :tongue: Food wise I tried to be as good as possible but possibly had a few more syns that I should have.. Man dieting over this time of year is HARD...

I forgot to say.. I got my first Award from Slimming world last night.. 1/2 stone award! woop! lol :) Total Lost- 2lbs Left to lose- 28lbs

Thanks Grunka.. How did you do?? I am wearing a dress today which I have never worn. I bought it months ago and never had the confidence to actually wear it. Picked it up this morning and went sod it. Although I am now feeling a little self concious! haha I am off to london tomorrow to see the...

So.. I lost 2lbs!! :D I am so happy! Weight-14stone 13.5lbs. However, I have seen this number before.. it's the one number I keep coming back to. If I can get past 14stone 13.. then I will be over the moon! I better make this week count. So today I have my works Christmas lunch. I picked...

OH can either be your saviour when it comes to weight loss.. or your biggest downfall! My OH is exactly the same! :D Good luck again on your weigh in later! :)

oooh congrats on the work trousers situation! Thats always so satisfying when you find something that USED to be too small but is now too big. Sadly I am not quite there yet! :D I did have a bit of an NSV though.. a friend of mine who we see every now and then saw me on Sunday morning and was...

ooh I forgot to say actually... Over the weekend when I got the xmas decorations down from the loft.. I came across about 3 boxes FULL of clothes! :confused: I had forgotten that I was hording them until I had lost the weight. Anyway I brought down two of them.. (was going to go back for the...

I've just realised that you and I started around the same sort of weight.. and we are at the same sorta weight at the moment (according to your stats. :) ) I was going to try them on.. but I have a few "funny" people in the office who would look disapprovingly at me.. so I thought best not to...

EEEEEEH! My wedding shoes arrived just now! They are SO BEAUTIFUL. :woohoo: I haven't yet dared try them on.. as I am in the office and think people might look at me funny! Guess I should really though.. just in case I need to send them back. They are glittery and my something blue. :) only...

Heya.. So yeah I did weigh in this morning.. and I was a couple of lbs down.. but I'm not celebrating until later. Too many times there has been a major difference between my scales at home and the SW ones. lol I have been making my own soup for a while.. I only grabbed this one because I...

Morning Guys! So... I woke up late this morning and was tempted to not go to work again as not feeling 100%.. but i remembered that I have my weigh in this evening so got my sorry ass out of bed. :D Food wise.. I am trying to have as little as possible and mostly water before my weigh in...

Hey guys.. so I'm not gonna lie.. I didn't have the best of weekends. I did a ton of walking on Saturday round the shops, but had an egg nog latte from Starbucks. (Later found out that they are about 30syns each or something stupid. ) I have been off work today with a bad cold so have not moved...

VERY good day yesterday! Last night's supper was chicken stir fry ontop of some noodles. And then for pudding I had merguine and fruit salad. (fresh!) Feeling positive! Hope I can keep it up over the weekend! That's normally the time when I slip.

Oh.. I didn't realise that you had to have had a loss the previous week.. i just thought it was whoever had lost the most that week! lol

Just found out I'm round the mother-in-laws for Supper tonight. She knows I'm on slimming world so hopefully will cook something slimming world friendly! Am seriously craving something sweet.. but am trying to save my syns for later just incase I get given something that isn't completely free...

URGH! I have just realised I have left my blasted Hi Fi bars at home. :( Bought 3 flavours so I could keep 1 in my desk drawer for emergencies / HEB choices. Need to stock up on Alpen bars too actually.

So.. I did enjoy dinner but I also failed a little with my choices.. I got the resturant wrong! We went to ASK instead of Pizza Express. Haven't had pasta in forever so really fancied it.. stupidly went for the pesto pasta. :confused: Really don't want to think how many syns were in that seeing...

You know what.. thats's really annoyed me that a blasted salad is so high in Syns. :mad::badmood:

SO we might be going to Pizxza Express I think later for supper so thought I would have the superfood salad. Checked on the website the syn content and its come up as 11?! I presume the 11 syns is for the dressing? This is what it says on the pizza express website: A superfood mix of black...

Ah wait! I have just noticed on the website that you can have 1 salted caramel bar for your HEB choice! woop! I'm gonna do that instead so it gives me more options later. :) Syns- 3x dash of milk= 3syns bbq sauce= 2syns Total- 5 syns

Doing okay today on my first day! :) Just enjoying my second cup of tea for the day and have a salted caramel hi fi bar as a snack. We are possibly out for supper tonight so not sure what to have. Hopefully we can go somewhere where I can get something low fat or low syn.. so steak and bake...

Ah.. that loss has been more like over 2 years! :p I keep losing a lot.. then putting on a lot.. and then losing again.. I think I have seen the same 10lbs or so again and again for the past 6 months. Not-so mid morning snack- pink lady apple and 2x babybel (HEA) Not sure what to have for...

Well done on your 0.5lb loss! Better then a gain! :)

Grunka.. Thats the point that I'm trying to make! I would rather spend the £500 on weigh in's which will hopefully make me into the person that I wanna be for my wedding.. instead of say £500 on decoration. Yes the decoration might help make the venue beautiful, but it wont be worth it if I dont...

So last nights meeting was... I dunno.. The consulant seems really nice.. but I saw a lot of familiar faces from a year ago at the group! I hope they are target members and not members who are still trying to lose the weight. I also found the meeting a little bit.. tedious. I know thats terrible...

So far I am finding today okay.. I feel positive! :) Although to be fair its always like this for the first few days of a plan! haha I'm always really gun-ho until something slips, or I get bored. I've had a bit of a backlash from family who see me spending the £5 a week for weigh in's as a...

Oh really? so actually my old pack will now be out of date as I last went to SW in December of last year. I drink a LOT of tea and coffee.. so I tend to use my milk as a healthy extra. Maybe I should swap them round? I dunno.. will wait and see I think. thank you for the reminder about the...

Hi Grunka Lunka! Thought i would drop in and just say hello! I hope I am as sucessful with SW as you have been. :-)

Hi All, So I did start a diary in the Atkins section of this website and was "trying and failing" to follow that plan for a while. I am now switching to Slimming World (as of tonight) so thought that I better start a new diary! (At least if its in this section I can switch to another plan if...

Right.. so.. I messaged my SW consultant and have decided to re-join tonight! :confused: The meeting is after work so "fingers crossed" it will go okay. Not sure what to do about my diary... should I just carry this on? Seems a bit silly when I'm not following Atkins anymore.. Might just start...

Yeah I used to be part of a slimming world group. (Funnily enough I found my membership card in my purse this morning and thought about re-joining.) I was really good for a few weeks but then slipped back into bad habits and kept yo-yoing over the same 5lbs. BASICALLY what I am doing now! lol...

Hi everyone.. So I realised that I am sounding like a real drag.. constantly mumbling and whining about how I'm not losing any weight.. how hard it is.. Why isn't it working... blah blah blah. I'm sorry about that. :( Kat1e.. thanks for the added information... but I think.. hand on heart...

Urgh.. Didn't resist the Chocolate Tiffin and now I'm up to 105grams. Not going to give up but its making me feel guilty enough to go running again tonight! I got to keep the momentum up! Just have to keep chanting "3 months, 34lbs..." 3 months, 34 lbs.... 3 months, 34lbs... 3MONTHS, 34LBS...

Struggling a little.. feel very tired.. which means I am automatically reaching for things I shouldn't be eating. Treated myself to 2 small mini gluten free millionaire bites.. then remembered the post in the main forum about how you shouldn't cheat on this diet! So feeling a bit glum.. carb...

I'm back in the 14s! woo!!! Weight- 14 stone 13lbs So I got home and was like.. this is stupid.. I need to go running. So i did! I normally do this 2.5mile route but was so bored of it, so thought I would do the other route which I used to do when I was marathon training a couple of years ago...

I've just realised that I started this diary on the 7th November.. and from then until now.. bearing in mind its nearly month... I have only lost 3LBS.. 3 MEASLY LBS! :mad::mad: Like.. WTF is wrong with me? I gotta get my head in gear.. seriously! It's now December and I still have 37lbs to...

So far so good.. The only thing extra I ate today was a gluten free millionaire shortbread bite.. Which has bumped my total carb count up a bit.. but not drastically! I am currently on 41grams... so if I can make my supper as low carb as I possibly can then it will be all good! Meant to get...

Thanks Susie.. I was taking a look at the shopping list one earlier.. just to try and get an idea! You live in Italy now right? I have a friend who is really strict with her low carb. She has 20 grams a day and NO MORE! I sent her a message yesterday saying how much I admire her.. it's really...

Are you kidding me?! even fruit tea has carbs. :mad::( I feel like I'm never going to get my head around this! Yesterday was a complete shambles. My total carb count was 192grams. Dismal.. :oops: Im going to put a line under it and move on. Today is a new day.. and all that jazz! Breakfast-...

You know.. I can't resist chocolate. I apparently need to not have it in the house.. otherwise I want to eat ALL OF IT! I have a bar of Toblerone.. and Ive had two peices (which is okay.. decent amount.) But I can't stop thinking about it.. Need more water.. try and keep my mind off it...

Lunch- Homemade veg soup Although I have to be honest.. I didn't much fancy it. But I have to use it up otherwise its a bit of a waste. I also have to make sure i dont eat too much today seeing as we are off to celebrate a birthday later! I'm going to try and eat just the chicken paprika...

Linseed binds you up? I thought it was meant to be used for the other issue?? :eek: I guess this is basically my issue.. is that I haven't prepped enough. I go in stages.. one week I will be really into it! Like the past few weeks making my homemade soup.. prepared.. raring to go! Then other...

I wanted something warm and filling for this morning's breakfast.. as it is so damn cold! So I had a bowl of porridge, with the thinking that if I use almond milk with it then it will help keep the carb count down. Sadly.. it is still 27grams of carbs.. and then another 5g for the linseed I...

So.. I didn't wake up early AGAIN and actually ended up over sleeping. GRR! And it is FREEZING! Literally -3 outside. (brrr) Weight- 15stone 2lbs. When am I going to learn that a weekend of bad eating is going to make me put on again?? I know people say you should be able to enjoy your life...

Actually you know.. whilst we are on the subject of motivation.. I should really get back into the habit of going for a walk at lunch time. (I've been using the bad weather as an excuse!) I also wanted to start my Focus T25 program again (seeing as its really only 25mins a day!) but have not...

Hi Susie! Thank you so much for all the information! That article on Lindha is inspiring! I can't imagine being that small! I really struggle to not calorie count! Mainly because I have been doing it now for so many years.. Its like second nature! :D Even logging the bad stuff or the bad day...

Well.. I'm back from my weekend away and have put on about 4lbs.. :(:( I tried my best to follow the damn diet whilst I was away.. and hoped that the amount of walking that we did would have evened things out a little bit! But we eneded up drinking a lot of beer and Vodka, and I dont normally...

Oh.. My.. Goodness.. that ABB workout was obviously a lot harder then I thought it was.. I'm hobbling a little today! :D So yesterday I managed to resist all the tasty treats at the Christmas fayre.. EXCEPT a cup of mild cider. I was freezing and needed warming up.. and thought it would be...

There is no harm in trying! :) Even if you try and find you can't do it.. at least you tried.. you know? Supper- So I've just been told that we are out to Pizza Express with the future mother in law tonight! Gah! I love pizza... Ive had a look at the menu before we go.. and Im going to start...

Lunch-Chicken casserole eaten like a soup. Didn't fancy my soup and this was left over from last night. Thought the soup would keep better over the weekend.. Wasnt bad actually. Might ask OH to make it as a soup more often !haha

Just completed the ABB workout on Shaun T's "FOCUS T25" DVD.. OMG! I had forgotten how much it hurts! 25mins of pure hell.. But i feel so much better afterwards. Last time I attempted this workout I got 2 weeks in before I gave up. I used the excuse of "life got in the way." But actually its a...

Solange.. they do say though that you are better to do it at a snail's pace as it means you will be more likely to keep it off! I think this is why I havent' been stressing too much about my higher carb days. Im eating better then I have before.. and thats what is important! If I can just get...

Breakfast- 35g of Halloumi, 1x hard boiled egg, 33g of green olives, 1x babybel and 4x salami slices. Slightly more calories then I wanted for breakfast.. but my thinking is.. If i have a big breakfast then I wont want a big luch! Hopefully I can then keep snacking at bay whilst working from...

Morning all! So I managed to resist all temptation yesterday! woo! :0icanfly:I am pretty proud of myself I have to admit. Got home and my lovely husband-to-be had cooked a healthy chicken stew with new potatoes, cabbage and carrotts. (I know the new potatos aren't great.. but better than...

I am trying to distract myself from the vending machine.. I just walked past it earlier and realised that they have Chocolate Tiffin in there.. AND my favourite flapjacks. :eek: Seriously? My two favourite things are back in stock!? Don't they know I'm trying to have a HEALHTY LIFESTYLE CHANGE...

So yesterday I was doing really well.. until I got home! I raided the buscuit tin and had 4 "oreo" style cookies (They are called Nero.) Which meant this pushed my total carb count up to 108grams for yesterday. :( Still not the worst but not the best! I'm meant to be eating below 40g for...

Hi Solange! It was good chatting with you... even if it was very briefly! haha.. I thought about the 5/2 diet but to be honest the days where you are only able to eat 500 calories would kill me. Ive been on VLCD before (like Exante) and the days where I really stuck to it.. i felt sick and...

So.. I was the fat chief bridesmaid. :( The pictures came back and I have to admit that I hate pretty much every single one! My face looks so.. round. :( I've been trying out with low carb / Atkins recently to try and shift this weight.. but I realised today (whilst reading back on this...

I have done both Exante and CD... out of the two I think I prefer exante. There is a lot more choice in their range and the milkshakes taste more.. milky to me on Exante. It also helps that they are a LOT cheaper then CD shakes. Good luck! I'm not doing it at the moment because I got bored...

So im pretty proud of myself.. Went to the gym last night and managed to knock off 2mins off my average time for my 5k run. :) Althought I have to admit I wanted to collapse afterwards. haha. Food today is as follows: Breakfast- 1x apple and 2x hard boiled eggs Lunch- stir fry veg and chicken...

So.. somehow today I have literally only eaten what I put in my last post. Normally I would be complaining that I am hungry, but so far I seem to be okay! We will have to see how I survive in the gym later though.. My friend hasn't come back to me about the dance dvd so I am guessing she doesn't...

I am amazed at how little you eat.. there is no wonder you are losing! I'm sure I am eating too much..

Breakfast- 2x hard boiled eggs Lunch- Bowl of Courgette and Cauliflower soup, Cottage cheese with 1x Carrot and 1/2 cucumber. I haven't packed any snacks and am not sure what I'm going to have later for supper. Will be going to the gym tonight OR working out with a friend of mine with "pump it...

Hahah Thanks Buffy... I would elope but sadly (well not really sadly) we have already booked tons of stuff... And I always dreamed of a big wedding.. so this is the way it will have to be. As it turns out.. the shoes don't fit one of them anyway so they are out of the running! :mad: This whole...

OH I forgot to say earlier.. I had a bit of a NSV this morning. In a moment of weakness at the garage I grabbed a bag of brownie bites whilst paying for my fuel. Didn't open them in the car coz thought I would save them for later. Got to work and was like.. NO.. I don't need these! Why did I...

I know right?! What happened to " You wear what the bride wants you to wear?" :D It has been quite hard to not get overwhelmed with the "demands." Suddenly everyone has their own opinion on how your wedding should be.. It's been exhausting telling people.. "well actually no I dont like that."...

Oh Marysu.. you have no idea.. This woman is driving me crazy! I only picked her because she is part of the family that I'm marrying into.. and I thought it would be a nice gesture you know? But absolutly nothing is good enough for her! The big fiasco at the moment is shoes.. I wanted all my...

So.. I've kinda gone off the rails for the past couple of days. :( Who am I kidding.. this whole week has been a bit of a write off! I've been majorly stressed this week with work and wedding planning (been having issues with one of my bridesmaids basically poo-pooing every suggestion that I...

What is the SW Red days? When I did slimming World I was on the EE plan (or whatever they call it now.) So.. I didn't end up going to the gym yesterday evening and actually I am glad I didn't.. as this morning my shin's are REALLY achey. I think the "30 day shred" is harder on the joints then...

Nope.. today is a write off. Had an emotional moment at work and grabbed a flapjack that I had left in my desk drawer. So now my carb count is up to 109grams. :( Going to try and make the gym later and burn some calories. Hopefully that will help. Not as bad as I used to be.. but still not...

Forgot to put.. My total carb count for yesterday was 108grams. Not doing very well so far this week! o_O

wow! You lost 3lbs in a DAY?! :woohoo:

Day 8 continued Got home and thought I have to do some exercise.. so I dug out my "30 day shred" video and did a level 1 workout. OMG.. I hurt. Not sure I am doing the squats properly as my knees ache. :confused: I can actually hear them creaking when I bend.. I'm sure thats not good. Day 9...

Day 8 continued I am not sure whats wrong with me today but I just don't feel that hungry today at all! I had one of my babybels for brekkie at about 8am.. Then my stomach didn't rumble until about 11.. when I had my second babybel. 12pm came and went.. which is normally when I'm feeling...

Hi Nutty-Me.. It's Monday! First Day? :) How are you getting on?

Well done for starting afresh! We can do this! :)

Glad to hear I am not the only naughty person this weekend!! (From a selfish point of view! lol) Thanks for the tip about the Aloe Vera.. I do actually have some stocked at the back of my cupboard. Will start taking that again in the morning! Back onto the wagon we go. ;)

Day 8 continued So I am thinking I need to start doing some more exercsie. I have the "30 Day Shred" just sitting there gathering dust on my shelf.. and really its only 30mins ish a day. I should be able to put aside just 30mins or so for exercise! I always feel so much better when I have...

Day 6, 7 and 8 So.. my weekend food wise was dismal... In all honesty I did not stick to this diet ONE BIT! I tried in the mornings and had my babybels but as the days went on, I just got waylaid. Friday evening we had Chinese to celebrate my future brother-in-laws birthday. I tried my best to...

I caved... I had the doughnut. :(

So I have just had a look at Linda's low carb recipes.. WOW! There is TONS on there. Thank you so much! I like the sound of the pizza.. I might try that one day. Chinese wise.. They normally just order a few dishes and let everyone have whatever. Hopefully I can pitch in and go.. please can...

Thanks for the wahoo. :) I have actually seen this number a couple of times over the past month.. Once I pass 14stone 10.. then I will happy! :D Thanks for the tip on the salad bowl idea.. I might try that next time I am in a rush for a "grab-and-go" lunch. At the moment I am trying to finish...

So.. I failed last night. Went to the gym and ran a 5k (in 41 mins which I was happy about! Beat my time of 42mins. lol) Got home and I was so exhausted.. I reached for the birthday cake and 3 peices of Toblerone. *Sigh* So my total carbs for yesterday was 110g :( :( Marysu.. We have a Lidl...

Day 4 continued again.. So I ate the Olives.. which means my total carb count has gone up to 25g so far. Supper- I am thinking about... smoked salmon with cream cheese ontop of a plate of salad. And maybe some cucumber. Just put that into MFP and that would make my carb totals 30g!! that...

Day 4 continued Beginning to get very bored of Bacon and Eggs. (Never thought I would say that!) Going to have to try and find a substitute so that I don't go off the rails. Also.. I think im due this weekend.. which means I'm going to have to work extra hard not to grab the chocolate etc...

Well done on creating your own diary! I have found that constant updates have kept me on track (to a certain point) as it makes me accountable for what I am eating. And as a fellow Emotional Eater.. we know how important that is. :D Small goals is good! Like.. I am getting married at the end of...

Day 4 Breakfast- 3 x Heck chicken sausages and 2x bacon medalions Lunch- Homemade Cauli, Gammon and Pattypan (squash) soup Snacks- 2x Hard boiled eggs, 1x cheddar babybel and 2x light babybel (and maybe some green olives if I get hungry.. but its pushing my soduim up way too high.) So I've...

Haha! I wise it was a huge triangle.. it was just a normal sized one. We then went to the cinema and my friend offered me peanut M&M's and before I knew what I was doing.. I had eaten a handful. *sigh* Hi Nutty me! Sorry to hear about your adominal pain.. thats not good! Maybe this time it will...

Hunger isnt a problem per say for me.. its the mental hunger. I start thinking about sweet things and just can't get past that craving.. I end up eating tons of other stuff just to get rid of it. (which in itself is counter-active.) At least I guess I only had one triangle, (instead of the...

So I didnt eat the cake.. but I succumed to a bit of Toblerone and a thorntons chocolate. :( So.. not as terrible as the cake would have been.. but still about 24g of carbs I didnt need. (18g in ONE triangle of Salted almond Toblerone. Gutted.)

You say that now.. but I have just found the last slice of birthday cake in the fridge. :eek: I am trying my hardest to stop myself from eating it. I bloody love cake.. what can I have thats sweet? *raiding the cupboards!!* going for a cup of fruit tea and hope that the craving goes away...

Day 3 continued Lunch- Smoked salmon with a blop of cream cheese ontop of "courgeti", mushrooms, spinach and asparagus. I forgot that these are all watery veggies and tried to stir fry them.. but i obviously didn't do it for long enough as its more like a soup.. but actually still pretty...

Hi Marsyu! Pretty sad how excited I got that someone commented on my diary! haha. Thanks for the tips btw.. I was worrying that I'm not getting enough veggies in... but am just cooking up a big batch of soup which will hopefully sort this problem out for the next few days. :)

Day 3 Breakfast- 2x Heck Sausages, 2x Bacon medalions and 1x fried egg. on a Wednesday I nornally work from home, so thats why I had the fried egg instead of a hard boiled one! :) Ramblings So.. it seems like the evenings are my downfall. Got home and my OH had cooked supper already which was...

I'm here! Started a couple of days ago. Have a diary in the Atkins diet section... (altho its a bit dead over there.)

Day 2 continued Why didn't I take into consideration the fact that greek yogurt and blueberries will have carbs in them!! :rant:18g of carbs. Thats bumped me right up meaing I have non left for supper. :(

Mood update: So I am really struggling with "mental-hunger" today... not physical hunger as my stomach hasn't rumbled once today.. but "mental-hunger" where I am like.. what can I eat next? I'm sure its because work is particularily boring today.. so I'm eating coz I'm bored.. but its not...

Day 2 Breakfast- 2 hard boiled eggs, 2x light babybel and 1x cheddar babybel. Lunch- 3x celery stalks, mini pot of humous and 3x snacking chorizo sticks. Mood So.. after failing miserablly yesterday, I have upped my calories to 1,500 and put my Carbs % down to 5%.. which means I will be...

So I have been dabbling with this for a while I have to admit.. trying to cut the carbs down gradully before today I thought I just have to get on with it.. But one thing I have noticed over the past couple of weeks is that my mood has dropped terribly. The other day I burst into tears for no...

Hi All, So I am getting married at the end of April 2017 and am really wanting to lose 40lbs by that time. It would take me from 15st ish to 12st, which is the last weight I remember being actually happy with the way that I look. :( I really, seriously, do not want to be the size that I am for...

So.. I'm feeling pretty positive! weighed in this morning at 14stone 13lbs! My mixure of healthy eating and Exante seems to be doing the trick. :-) I'm sort of following the Slimming World plan and throwing exante products into the mix. I realised that just doing soley exante was making me...

Thanks Darcy... its getting to the end of quarter at work and to say its busy... is an understatment.! I am trying very very hard not to grab the crisps and chocolate. Weighed in this morning at 15stone!!! I havent been this light in forever!! :D

OOPS! sorry.. I am here.. i'm just not logging in as much as I should be! However I am happy to say that I am down to 15st 1 :D I have been doing a mixture of Exante and healthy eating. Lots of soup and Salad. haha

So.. I kinda quit again! It was my birthday on Tuesday and my Fiance surprised me with a trip to Bruges! :) Needless to say I stuffed my face. I'm back to work today so planned to get back on the diet today but left home in a hurry.. so no packs with me. So far i've been pretty good food...

ah man I am really struggling with this constant Tired feeling.. not to mention my banging headache! I imagine that because I am eating "normal" food in the evenings, it means I wont go into this keitos thing? not sure I can put up with this headache for 4 weeks. :confused: Had a lemon and...

Darcy and Spinoza.. I am in awe of you both!! Seriously.. you guys have much more will power then me. Yesterday I had a pretty good day actually! Had roughly 1,500 calories (so a lot more then I should on this diet) but its the smallest amount I have had in AGES! Went out for dinner and made...

So.. when they say you need a whisk or blender for the soups... they werent lying. My red thai soup is SO lumpy! I "whisked" it as much as I could with a fork.. but it's still lumpy. bleurgh. o_O Wasnt really going to start again today.. so I had a Nature Valley bar for breakfast but felt so...

Spinoza- Have you done 6 weeks on the total solution? I really dont know how you all survive on such little calories! I tried it for a couple of days and felt so dizzy.. I feared driving to work. o_O It's just frustrating as for the past 6 months I have gained and lost the same 5lbs. 6months...

Womble.. I'll have to try that.. I add pepper but maybe herbs etc will make it more... tasty! So I have to admit that I gave up again. :( I'm finding it really hard to stick to this diet! Found that I started craving a salad.. I NEVER CRAVE LETTUCE! lol. Really want to try and get back on this...

Bars wise I have only had the yogurt Museli and the caramel crunch bars... oh and the double chocolate cookie. The Cookie and the yogurt bar I could just about eat but the chocolate caramel.. yuck yuck yuck! I am guessing it is the fake caramel flavour that I cant stomach. o_O Shake wise I cant...

Wow.. did I read that right? You have been on it for 2 weeks and you have lost over a stone already?! Wowzers!!

No.. I cant eat this! Its quite literraly making me gag. In the bin it goes! :( I just chatted with someone online at Exante because I appear to have 6 more of these things.. Wanted to see if I could swap them for something else! They tell me that because I bought them as a "box of 7"... the...

oh man.. I think I am REALLY not a fan of any of these bars or Cookies. They have a really weird after taste to them.. I dunno how to describe it... :confused: It reminds me so much of the bars I used to have on Lighter Life or The Cambridge Diet (when i did them so many years ago.) I guess...

I think green tea might be my saviour today! Just trying to keep the nibbles at bay.

Hi All... So I have just come back from a weekend away where there was FAR too much drinking and eating involved... AND I have come back 2lbs heavier! So... Day 1 again. *sigh* Starting Weight: 15st 7lbs So far it hasnt been too bad today. I had the Yogurt museli bar for Breakfast (wasnt sure...

MrsN i would.. But its my fiancee's too. (we share it for a treat.. ) he would be gutted if i chucked it out.. And its not fair to punish him for my weakness you know?

So it appears i am completely incapable of going out and resisting temptation. :-( We went to the cinema and i just ordered myself a medium mixed popcorn without even really thinking about it. It wasnt until i was about halfway through the bag did i stop and think.. What the hell am i doing...

Gah! Well I WAS doing really well.. and then I found some toblerone in the cuboard. :( Two triangles later and its pushed me up to 1,500 calories and thats before ive even eaten supper! :(

Haha I did wonder Bexster but just wanted to make sure. :cool: Well today of healthy eating hasn't been too bad so far. I've had the following: Breakfast- Toast and Marmite. Lunch- left over veg cous cous with some little gem lettuce, spinach, about 15 black olives and 30g of cheddar cheese...
