STS. I just don't get it, I did the Davina DVD 5 times, had very low sins during the week to make up for the meals out we had and my clothes feel looser! I need a decent loss soon, I'm feeling the "what's the point" feelings creeping in.... This is how the next week looks, meal out with...

Right. I'm going to weigh myself after a really good week and I'm hoping for more than a pound like last week, I know slow is good but 1lb in the last 4 weeks is a bit painful :((

Hi all, What a lovely bunch you are!! I'm also a Friday weigher, it's going sloooowly for me though. A month hovering at the 16 stone and lost 1lb last Friday to get me finally into the 15's and 1lb away from my first stone, yay! That's because I'm leaving here to move back to the UK for good...

Thanks, I'll def do the friday weigh in thing Tracy and I think I must be a flexi sinner Jules! Although I seem to use it as an excuse to eat all weekend! Anyway, this weekend I have actually managed to reign it in a bit. I'm feeling better since my dalliance with EE, red and green are the way...

Hi tracy, Thanks for your comments! I'm not just talking to myself after all ha ha! What do you do syn wise if you have a night out planned, or several in a week? I find it really hard especially when we go to eat at a friends and they have cooked. Do you plan for it syn wise or just try and...

Huge bowl of spaghetti with 2 tbsp of green pesto (6 delicious naughty syns), green salad, WW fat free lemon tart yoghurt! Nom nom nom xx

It's ok, a whole tube is only 9 syns so it won't take me over my syns for today which are only 6. I really enjoyed my pasta and pesto, and it's th first time I have ever eaten it while on plan..it's feels "naughty" to me as it's pesto which is not allowed in my head! It got me thinking that I...

oops. Just had 10 smarties, why? Don't know not even worth it really. They were Saudi smarties as well, tasted all funny. I feel like I'm talking to myself ALOT on here!! I hope someone joins in soon! xx

I agree with Trishka, Try your best but you're only human! As long as it doesn't slide into weeks off plan like I sometimes do, bugger all willpower :)

I also did Davina's pump dvd this morning. That's the one thing I have been able to stick to and I've done the pump or cardio box 5 times a week for 4 weeks now. My husband says my shape is changing but it's not showing on the scales :( My Mum's flight got cancelled because of the volcanic ash...

3 and a half syns for a tbsp of green pesto, that worth it so I'll have 2 tbsp for 6 syns.

So after still not having lost an ounce I've decided to go back to basics and do what I did to lose the 8lbs last month. From now on I'll have alternate green/red days. If it worked before surely it must work again!!!! Green day today. B: Banana (my 3 year old pinched half of it), apple...

I'm sitting here writing this feeling a bit sorry for myself. Got my work out gear on but bugger all motivation! I totally lost the plot over the weekend, 2 bottles of wine, not at the same time;), 2 takeaways, a burger for lunch yesterday and all because I didn't get the loss I'd hoped for...

1lb gain and I've lost the plot... It's Friday morning, just weighed myself and I've gained a pound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is this possible?!! Can anyone can look at what I've eaten this past week and tell me where I'm going wrong? So fed up. I worked out every single day, ate lots of free...

Good morning diary! Had some rubbish news last night. The house we're in the process of buying is about to fall down!! The survey report came back with 200,000 pounds of work to be done to make it safe, as that's more than the worth of the house it's not worth doing it. So, we leave here in 8...

Also got my first "have you lost weight?" comment. Felt good that someone noticed, even if it's only 8lbs so far!

Dear diary, Yesterday was an ok day. I did have a wee hiccup in the afternoon when some friends and their kids came over with coffee. One of them made some sugar free, flour free cookies, bless! They tasted ok but not as good as the non sugar free, non flour free muffins and shortbread that the...

ended up having my lunch for dinner and one lamb burger, was delish. I'll have the leftover SW wedges and ratatouille for lunch tom. The boys (and baby) enjoyed it too and I've noticed the husbands trousers loosening as well, bonus! So to bed, so tired but feeling good. I'm actually looking...

Got so hungry at 11am I could have eaten a scabby horse so had 2 hard boiled eggs and an apple..now lunchtime and not that hungry so just had 2 slices of watermelon and an apple. I've just been invited out for a meal tonight but turned it down :( I'm still not 100% sure I can handle going to a...

Good morning dairy..and anyone else who is reading!! Feeling great diet wise, it's a good feeling waking up in the morning and knowing I'm on track and can do it, so much better than opening my eyes and realising I'm starting my diet AGAIN! Feeling positive and energetic even after those photos...

I thought I would also do a food diary here too as I want to keep track, so here's todays grub: Breakfast: 2xbacon all fat removed, boiled egg, 57g bread (HEB), apple Snack: satsuma Lunch: pasta, broccoli, mange tout, 1/2 poached salmon fillet. Mixed together with 1tbs extra light philly...

I've just been emailed some pictures from a party we went to a few weeks ago, I cannot believe my eyes. They are soooo awful! I'm in all of them, from every angle, treble chin, back fat, bingo wings, big chubby face, for all to see!! They've been emailed to everyone who went :( I have avoided...

Thanks Possum, just done it. Good on you for your weight loss :)

Ah I see, I bet a lot was different back then but the Brit club is probably still the same. I bet if you went there now you'd probably see the same brits propping up the bar lol!!

Woodland girl, where did you live here and when? You know how small it is we may know some of the same people. Funny about marmite, it's the little things you miss!

Thanks for your comments, I'm off to group as soon as I get back, in fact the night of the day we land!! I'm living with the in-laws until our stuff arrives so I'm going to the 8pm class but will have to re-think that once we've moved into our house. I'm amazed I've managed to only weigh myself...

I'm going it alone as I live in the overseas and this site had been brilliant!!! There's so much info on here and what has really helped is seeing that everyone struggles just like me, and nobody is perfect all the time! I've lost 8lbs in 4 weeks even with quite a few naughty weekends and...

Hi Woodland girl, Yes, it's so sad. Things are under control now but not quite the same :( On a positive note I have just found Muller lights here!!! This may seem trivial to the rest of you but in 4 years I have never seen one in Bahrain,and at 3 quid for one I only bought 2 but still! And I...

Thanks! I'm still trying to find my way around this site but I'll work it out! Yes MissJ, I had my 2 youngest out here. Great medical care so it was all good, being pregnant in the heat was the hardest part. Isla came on the hottest day in Bahrain's history, the car temp said 53 degrees on way...

If anyone can tell me how I can find my diary without having to go through them all that would be great!

Hi all, I hope I'm doing this in the right place as I started a diary last week in some other spot on here, oops! Anyway, here I am, again, trying to shift the 80lbs I've gained over the last 4 years. A move to the Middle East and 2 more children to add to our other 2 and there you have it, 80...

Ooops! How do I start a diary thread in the right place? That's a bit rubbish about the muffins as well. Best stick to the WW bread! Thanks! Have you really lost 103lbs? Amazing xx

Changed brekkie: One wholemeal english muffin HEB HEA: 28g of low fat feta cheese to go on ratatuoille, yummy!

Today: Breakfast- Weetabix HEB Skimmed milk: taken from HEA Snack: apple Lunch: Last nights ratatoiulle with cous cous Snack: grapes, pineapple, melon topped with Muller light Dinner: chicken wrapped in turkey bacon, new pots and veggies. Syns: Probably 2 or 3 soldiers of toast and butter...

Hi all, After reading many, many diaries on here, which have been so motivating, I'm going to write my own!! I'm going to write everything, even the little bites and tastes that I never count!!! I'm doing SW EE but not going to class as I live in the Middle East until July, then I'll be home and...

I've just read pages and pages of your diary in total fascination!!! Your food sounds delicious. Huge congrats for your massive weight loss this week, 8.5 in a week, AMAZING!! Keep at it xx

Good for you! Love your diary, I'm also not going to a class yet as I live overseas. You seem to be able to stick to the plan all week with lots of great recipes! Good luck!

PS: I save most of my syns all week for the weekend for a bit of damage limitation, bad idea? Also started Davina dvd 4 times a week last week. I'm an angel all week and a devil at weekends!!!

I haven't started a diary yet, do I do it on here somewhere? Since I've been on this site I've been able to stick to the plan more, I just wish I could get my head around the weekends, wine, takeaways, 4 kids and a busy social life. Even saving my syns won't undo that lot! I've got about 80lbs...

Hi all,I'm fairly new to this site but unfortunately not new to weight loss and gain!!! I would really love some tips to keep on track at the weekend. I'm a mum of 4 and we're a very sociable family. I'm following slimming world, green/red as no idea how to do EE! The trouble is, the weekend...

5 stones...by tomorrow :)

I agree, I started a food diary and wrote down everything I ate, it was the little bites and tastes that I wasn't counting! Good luck! x

PS: I've done WW and SW in the past to lose baby weight and although successful on both, SW was easier for family cooking and you can eat alot with room for mistakes. There's loads of info on here and the magazine is brilliant for recipes x

Hi there, I'm also new to all this and desperate to lose the baby weight once and for all! I'm going the SW route too. I live overseas but I'm moving back to the UK in July and will get to a class then hopefully. I had my 4th baby back in August and I'm only 5 lbs lighter than I was then...

Good luck Funky Munky, you can do it!

WOW! You're amazing and what an inspiration! Tracey-anne x

Hi Bess, How are you getting on? I'm new on here and came across your diary as we have the same amount to lose! I'm struggling but I'll get there! Good luck! Tracey-Anne xx

;)Hi, I'm new to slimming world and live overseas so I'm muddling through on my own! With regards to the cheese, is it 42g of low fat and 28g of regular? I've just bought fat free so how much would I have? looks like rubber but I'll give it a whirl!!! Also is that a HEA? Had 350ml of skimmed...

Hi there, Do you know where pitta comes with regards to HE? I live in the middle east and I'm moving back to the UK in July where I can join a class and buy the books. Until then I'm muddling through by myself! I've always followed green/red, do you think extra easy works and is easier to...

Hi Paula, I'm also new here with 5 stone to lose! I had my 4th baby Isla in August and I'm only 5 pounds lighter than when I had her. I've been really successful in the past with Slimming World and Weight Watchers and managed to lose all the baby weight from my first 2 children. However, that...
