I've recently looked into moving to Oz however it is now incredibly expensive compared to a few years ago, particularly housing costs both renting and buying Unless the Pound gains in value and the Oz Dollar weakens significantly then we really can't afford it :-(

OH was paying about £6 for a pint of beer, and in a restaurant paid up to £13!

Well after losing 23lbs somebody has finally commented that I look like I've lost weight :-) I've gone from a small 18 to a large 14 and was wondering if anybody was ever going to notice I rewarded myself with one of the new chocolate and caramel Cornetto Enigmas yum yum yum :-)

I've just had my holiday - 2 weeks in Australia :-) A long way to go for 2 weeks but I wanted to do something special for my 40th birthday Had a week in Sydney and climbed the harbour bridge on my birthday, then a week in Melbourne mainly to go to the Grand Prix Had an amazing time but not...

Another good loss, well done! I've just got back from 3 weeks holiday - only put one pound on despite eating loads of junk while I was away, though I did walk loads every day But I am struggling to get back on the wagon since getting home which is no good no I'm back to sitting on my back side...

I sometimes have potato wedges and like to have some roasties on a Sunday, but have avoided bread and pasta as they just seem to make me more hungry. I usually have my HEXB's for breakfast, I've been really into Scan Bran with Laughing Cows this week, though have to make sure I have plenty of...

I've only ever done red days as I like my meat, have lost 18.5 lbs since the beginning of Jan. The only week I STS was when I had Alpen Lights as my HEXB, didn't have any last week and had a good loss again. I usually have some sort of meat and loads of salad for luch, then another sort of...

Lovely ring! I think I might have got mine from the same shop as it was in the same box as yours is in :-)

Only 5lb on for 2 weeks in Florida is brilliant, well done!

Thankfully a 2.5lb loss for me this week after STS last week. The only thing which I did differently last week was having Alpen Lights every day as my HEBX, so I've not had any at all this week. 3 weeks left until holiday and I'd really like to lose another 3lb by then. I went holiday...

Well done Katie!

STS for me this week :cry: Have been really good all week too, I'm so annoyed Only 4 weeks left until holiday so really hope I have a loss next week

Ooh that sounds yummy! Think I will try that at the weekend with my Sunday roast, thanks :-)

Hi Mia I do maily red days too and your cheesy veg mash sounds interesting, what do you put in it? Thanks

Well done Katie, that's another great loss for you!

4th WI for me today and I've lost 4.5lbs, which has already taken me to my mid-March target of a stone off :-) However I tried on some of my jeans which I had planned to get into once I'd dropped a stone and they still don't fit :-( At least I've still got 6 weeks to go to try and lose...

Try pressing the Super button and it will probably get down to the right temp quicker

I've got a Siemens freezer (same people who make Bosch) and when the freezer is not cold enough it sets off a really loud alarm which only stops when the freezer gets cold enough

Happy Anniversary!

And well done Bella that's amazing Which plan have you been doing?

I don't do any excercise at the moment but am planning to start doing some swimming this weekend. I find it really hard to motivate myself to do any when it's cold and dark when I finish work as I just want to go home and snuggle up in the warm

Well I'm amazed - after 5 days away eating loads of rubbish I've still managed to lose 1/2lb, I must have been really good the other 2 days! Maybe it will all catch up with me next week

I'm going to be a day late for WI this week as have been staying with a friend in Switzerland since Thursday and don't get back til late tonight. Am dreading getting on the scales in the morning - I have tried to be good but it is difficult when you are staying in somebody elses home. And the...

Two more good losses, well done everybody :-)

Hiya 6lbs week 1 3lbs week 2 Very pleased so far as my first target is to lose a stone by March :-) And I was taken out for lunch today and had a chicken and bacon salad rather than the usual junk I would have had! How have you been getting on?

Well done Frugal on 2 weeks of great losses! 2nd WI for me today and have lost 3lbs in week 2 Good luck everybody for your next WI

Thanks :-) I've found as the week went on it was getting harder to make sure I got all my HEB's as I really didn't fancy eating them but have stuck with it so far

Hi Julie I've not tried green yet as am worried about missing meat too much. Have just done my first week on red and lost 6lbs. For me it has been brilliant - lean meat with loads of free veggies really has filled me up, and have loved having bacon and eggs for breakfasts without feeling...

First WI for me today after a whole week on red days and lost 6lbs and I really haven't felt like I've missed eating anything this week :-) Good luck to everybody else with your first WI

First WI for me today - lost 6lbs :-) Considering my first target is to lose a stone by the middle of March I'm really pleased with that. And that's with having roast pork with crackling on Sunday! Think I will stick with all red days again next week as it seems to be working so far and it...

It's not been too bad this first week as only been at work a couple of days this week because of Xmas holidays and I find it much easier to be good when I am at home. I found the first couple of days I felt quite bloated, I think it must be becase my system is not used to all the fruit and...

Hi Staceyj I'm from sunny Leics I started last Monday, so first WI for me tomorrow, eek!

Hi wkdhoney Every evening this week I have had a sugar free jelly with strawberries in, and some vanilla yoghurt on top, I find that has really helped my evening cravings for sweet things.

Hiya Just realised that I had posted on your duplicate thread - can I join you too as got 3 stone to lose, and aiming to lose 1 stone my the time I go on holiday in the middle of March. WI for me will be Monday, which will be 1 week after I started. Have done all red days so far this week...

Well done Maisie! I've got to wait until Monday to see how I've done. Have been doing all red days so far but I might try and brave some green ones next week as I want to start doing some excercise so will need the carbs!

Thank you - I guess it was just wishful thinking that it would be less when cooked!

I have to remind myself of the reasons I am trying to lose the weight, such as the utterly gorgeous (and very expensive) pair of jeans which have been relegated to the loft for the last year :cry:, and that I want to be able to wear some nice clothes on my holiday in March. Thinking about...

Hiya, please can anybody let me know if vodka has the same amount of syns if it is used in cooking? Tonight's dinner was skinless chicken bits marinated and cooked in chicken oxo, italian herbs and vodka and I'm not sure if I should use the same amount of syns as if drinking vodka as the...

I think I might have to start developing some food 'allergies' :)

Thanks everybody! I can still see an image in my head of the tray of them looking up at me, but have just had a sugar free jelly with strawberries and yoghurt to ease the craving for sweet things :) Am really hoping they have all been scoffed by the time I get to work in the morning.

Today was my first day back at work since starting SW again and we had a presentation to go to this morning. Well the lovely senior managers had brought in a huge tray of doughnuts topped with chocolate and Smarties on top, enough for two each. All I could smell for the whole hour was the...

Hi Jo Count me in too I'm looking to lose 3 stone this year too, again I want to try and lose a stone by my birthday in March

Sounds like a good idea as we all have the same amount to lose!

Hi everybody, first day here I've just been ruthless and chucked out the bits I had left as it's the only way I can avoid temptation!

Hiya Not signed up for a class at the moment as I'm in the middle of studying which is taking up loads of time, and makes it all the more difficult to be good as I have a habit of snacking while studying. Have just placed a grocery order to be delivered on Tuesday and it's packed full of...

Hi Maisie I've just joined today too, and like you I have had previous success on SW but through various reasons have let it all go to pot. I finally built up the courage to dust off the scales today and I too have around 3 stone to lose. I would also like to lose a stone by the middle of...
