All i need is a lb and a half to change my front number! I've been good!

Absolutely! :-) Im glad I've found another use for cous cous anyway! I have a lot stockpiled!

I understand where you are coming from but it was eaten as part of a meal, not as a snack as per cous cous cake which you would have to syn. It is no different to having my Friday night fave of chicken and cous cous salad- the meal was practically identical in it's proportion just arranged...

I don't see why it's any different to using smash or any other coating? I balanced my super free to accommodate the cous cous.

Snap! Im in London for the weekend and Im enjoying myself! Which means eating lots of yummy things! Really must learn to enjoy myself in a none food way!

Thanks. It's not looking good after today. Hundreds of job cuts, in two phases. If im honest id rather go first. So awkward if you are left hanging. Need to think of my next move now. If i get garden leave im having a three month gym boot camp! I'll get myself fit and look awesome! Every...

Pasta with prawns from bella Italia

Snap. They are making redundancies at our place and Im likely for the chop!

OK, so i've sat down and gone through all my receipts and food spend for February. I didn't hit my £50 target - I ended up spending £72.16 And I still have cupboards full of stuff and a well stocked freezer!!!! Anyone for a Miserly March???

I'll be right behind you!!

Finally got round to making this .... I did however do my own take on it. Chicken strips. Beaten Egg. Soaked cous cous with half a chicken oxo crumbled in with garlic granules and a few chili flakes Very tasty :)

Thanks guys! Made up. Only 1.5lbs to go until my front number changes! Haven't been 18 stone something SINCE i was 18!

Just jealousy :-( it won't be water if you've been drinking plenty! Your body gets to have a good clean out in your first few weeks! Well done on a great loss xx

2lbs off this week and that elusive 4.5 stone award! Has taken such a long time to get it! Im over the moon!

Hi Amz12 ask any questions you have we're always willing to help. Good luck on your journey, you've made the best decision you'll ever make by changing your life!

19.1! So Im still here for another week at least!

2lbs off this week! Got a new sticker! 4.5 st award!

Bargain 5 quid free range bird cooked for lunch now to pick it over for the rest of the week. Nice noodle soup for tea!

Thanks hun. It's hard to keep going when it's so slow but I've come a long way and have hot a long way yet to go. Thanks for your support xx

Lost 2lbs :-) It's a very slow creep out of the 19s but only 3.5lbs to go until that front number changes!

2lb off! Hurray!

2lb off! hurray!

Thanks Aligal. Im very proud of it :-)

It really is. Nothing better than a nice chicken risotto that costs pence to make!

Oh i Will. I love food far too much for that. I just mean actually following the portion guidelines on packets instead of throwing things randomly in a pan! Might start using a smaller plate to try and fool my brain tho lol!

Hi Tpals :) Welcome back!!

Welcome new folks :-) Really hoping i get a loss this week. Have come to the conclusion that maybe i am eating too much. Going to adopt a stricter portion control policy from tonight, need to get used to eating less. I am also considering making lunch my main meal of the day so I'll feel less...

i'm hoping my efforts Will be rewarded next week Jim. I'll keep the faith!

Snap. I'm the same. I've had scan every day, drunk loads of extra water, cooked everything fresh.. :-@

Maintained this week which is very disappointing. I've had scan bran every day, drunk extra water and really made an effort :-(

Lots of lovely bits and bobs at our class taster :-)

Maintain. Rubbish.

Ooh good idea! Love it!

Oh yeah... Id forgotten why i was posting that lol Cheap and cheerful work lunch! Just add hot water and leave to stand for about 5 mins. I have put mine in kilner jars as it looks pretty (made up for a taster this evening) but they would be just as good in a plastic tub!

So here's an odd idea. Homemade pot noodles! Just cheap quick cook fine noodles. Finely chopped veg of your liking, a stock cube of your liking and some seasoning i have added pepper and garlic :-)

My weigh in is at 7 too!

It was lovely! Nice and spicy. I put more layers in than i normal would so it was very filling. Was just like a lasagna but it had a kick to it :-)

The loud call of the bar of dairy milk that has been at the back of my cupboard since Christmas .....

Yay!! Go Roziee

It wasn't a pretty sight Jim!

Brilliant Kath well done. I just made a spicy pork pepper and onion lasagna in the spirit of using what's in the freezer lol

I always pop an egg in mine, plus a little yoghurt or fromage frais if i have any open. I season with salt, pepper and a little mustard powder x lovely and works every time!

Syn free beef stew (beef, onion, leeks, swede, carrot, pearl barley, red lentils) served with mashed potato (made with an egg and a spoon of fromage frais) frozen baby carrots and steamed cabbage :)

My hubby cannot cook for all the tea in China! He burns water!

Applekath - i'm like you, I have been scouring the whoops section at my local supermarkets - as due to it being more expensive the free range chicken is often discounted late on at night. I pop it in the freezer and use it when i need it :) Or i'll buy a full free range chicken, and i can get...

Just made some scan bran apple and cinnamon cupcakes - only 1/2 a syn each :) they're not as good as the real thing but for 1/2 a syn they're better than no cake!!

PMSL @ crocodile mince!!

i guess you could - but the top wouldn't crisp - too humid

simple pasta with tomato sauce :)

Welcome back NannyDi xx

Have packed the slow cooker with the frozen casserole veg, some pearled barley and red lentils (to thicken it) bit of stock. Picked up a whoopsies packet of stewing beef this morning at my local coop for £!.28!!! So the whole stew will have cost less than £3 and because i've not put spuds in it...

Have got a lovely beef and veg stew in the slow cooker (all free) which i will have with mash and SF veg tonight :) Fruit and yoghurt for breakfast - lovely! Am now back in bed with an old shower cap on after dying my hair - what a picture LOL Once this is done, housework (nice bit of body...

Good morning Lovely :) x

I do... 5 scan bran - just dipped in hot water to soften 1 muller light of your choice 2 eggs 4 tbsp of sweetner 1/4 tsp of baking powder That's your base - then you can add flavourings - I sometimes use some almond or vanilla extract, if i've used a mandarin muller i might add some lemon...

muller lights are 5 for £1.50 in Iceland - not a great variety of flavours but cheap :)

So this weekend i'm going to attempt to go back to the gym - I think a swim to loosen up and then hit the gym for an hour. Focusing on lots of water and fruit this weekend - my skin feels a bit greasy and i've been a bit sluggish this week so feel like i need a detox.

Come out come out where ever you are xx

Scan Bran cake - still not convinced .....

opted to try Iceland for my shop this week .... jolly good too :) Big bag of apples £1 Big bag of frozen broccoli £1 5 muller lights for £1.50 Big bag of frozen casserole veg mix (not what i'd usually do but thought i'd give it a try £1

2.5lbs to go to get my next award... the slowest moving 7lbs in history lol i've been losing and gaining the same half a stone since August! Not the diets fault but my head wasn't in gear! Feeling much clearer about things now, excited about my 30th and my amazing party! Must aim for that!

19st 5lbs - slowly slowly catchy monkey ...... this is what people keep telling me .... but I don't want a damn Monkey!! I want to be thin!!!

1lb off this week for me which is fine given the circumstances of this week. Fresh week and fresh start now. I am in control. Thank you all again so much for your help xx

1lb off this week. Not what I wanted, but after the revelations and stresses of bingegate it's no surprise. Fresh week, fresh start :) I am in control.

1lb off - not great but it's in the right direction

Thanks bluecatlady :) x

Thank you ColJack - I've never and would never think about it that way as I don't speak bloke. x

I've had a reply ... "Ello Dont worry.... I still love you like mad! Ive known for a long time you stuff yourself in the car..... so much evidence you cant hide it! As Ive kept telling you for the last seven years.... I dont mind what size you are..... which is why Ive never said anything...

That feels quite cleansing to have it out in the open like that.

This is what i've sent him. I wanted to share it with you to so it's out in the open. It's not just been a few weeks ... "Hello my love. I had wanted to talk to you last night but the words just wouldn’t form properly and every time I tried it just upset me even more. I’m sorry for not...

Thanks for the help folks, it was a frosty night last night and worse than just the temperature. ColJack - I hadn't thought about it that way - Thank you for the bloke perspective - Oh and I have had the convo before about me losing weight and that am i going to leave him - I feel bad now. that...

I've tried to start the conversation a few times tonight but just keep diverting. Dont know where to start :'(

Help needed. I don't know what to do. Last night my hubby damaged his car in the snow, he came home in a foul mood and asked if he could take mine. I panicked and said no, and now he hates me. I asked him to borrow his mums car and i went to collect the keys for him. I said no, and it's so...

Proper piggy day today 3 egg omelette with chopped tomatoes and peppers 35g oats stirred into fromage frais sweetened with splenda and a drop of vanilla extract 2 bowls of homemade soup - carrots, cabbage, celery, potato, leeks, pearl barley, red lentils and stock tomato and herb pasta and...

Terrible day yesterday. Hubby had bought tortilla chips to go with his chili the other night. Got home after work, stressfull day and i scoffed the lot ;-( Trying to recover myself with lots of fruit and soup this weekend - hope it works.

Popped to sainsburys last night for fruit - resisted buying stuff i didn't need and got basics apples, oranges and pears, milk, quark and yoghurt - £6 :)

Only 1.5lbs off - disappointed but it's all the right way I guess

1.5lbs off for me, disappointing - had expected more tbh. But no matter - :) it's the right direction!!

Only 1.5lbs off this week - disappointing :( But at least it's off and not on - lets keep plodding.

Are any of the Century Club up for a Charity Challenge this year to help keep you motivated? Cancer Research's Shine event is coming back to Manchester on September 8th 2012. It's a night-time walk over either a half marathon (13.1 miles) or a full marathon (26.2 miles) The registration...

I'm thinking skinny thoughts today - weigh in at 7pm - REALLY want a good loss - i've been 100% on plan this week. I've had the worst * ever this month - lasted nearly 3 weeks :'( so i'm hoping the bloating has gone down - feels like it has!!!!

Oh hun, this sounds so familiar. Well done for fessing up - admitting it is often teh hardest thing. For years I binged in secret, embarrased to admit to my family and friends and even myself what I was doing. We're all here to support you, and whenever that little devil whispers in your...

Fingers crossed for a good loss tomorrow - been a saint all week :) And i could do with some good news!!

All aboard :)

Well tonight's chicken risotto went down a treat - still quite a lot left which will keep - hubby is out on wednesday night so rather than cooking for just me i'll have it then with some SF veg :) Still plenty of chicken left for my noodle soup tomorrow too :) £4.16 for the chicken and its...

Homemade butternut squash soup (from the little soup book)

Today's lunch was butternut squash soup (had one in the bottom of the fridge looking a bit worse for wear but waste not want not!) That'll do for some work lunches this week too! Tea was Shepard's Pie :) using the lamb mince i found in the freezer and had forgotten all about!!

I love how much pace this is gathering!! Well done good folk of minimins :D

Your pork loin will be fine - usually if it's wrapped well your meat will last 3 months at least - i've eaten meat that has been home frozen for 6 months before now and it was fine - it's safe - but may lose a little texture the longer you keep it! If in doubt casserole it!

Forgot about this post! I wanted the full 26.2 walk in the end - didn't die.

Really looking forward to getting home tonight and rummaging through my cupboards, pantry and freezer :)

I'm good thanks Jim. Struggling with my back at the moment - so off to see the physio again at 1 o'clock. making plans for my Frugal February - trying to save a bit of money over the next few months on my food shop and fuel bills etc. Only buying what I need - using markets for all my...

I'm keen to see how creative I can be with my ingredients - how to stretch things that bit further and make use of all the stuff that's been lurking at the back of a cupboard for a while (years lol) I don't want the experiment to turn into a will power battle - just how long can one person...

Not at all - welcome in - i'm very excited!!

BBC - Watchdog - Be a savvy shopper Quite a good article on the perils of the supermarket!

haha - I think i'm planning for The Apocalypse :ashamed0005: sometimes when I see the cupboards! Tho it served me well when we were snowed in in 2010!!

Gillian, Jo* - nice to have you on-board! An inventory of current 'stock' levels is a great idea - i'll do that this weekend too. I have a very bad habit of 'stockpiling bargains' that I never get round to eating! I can feel a lot of savoury rice being eaten this month in various forms!!

I think you're spot on with the portion control angle - my plan is that when i'm dishing the evening meal out to also have my trusty tupperware box handly and put the 'work' portion out at the same time :) This will stop me going back for seconds just because it's there!! I'm rarely still...

Great to have you on-board Mrs S. :) £100 sounds like a good budget!

I'll be making my 4 weekly meal plans this weekend with my shopping lists to stick to (a challenge in itself!) I'll post them here for you to see and if it helps you to take some inspiration from it - i'm on the look out for new recipies to make into new family faves!!! I think if this...

Post Christmas and January Pay-day my bank balance is still looking a bit sad so I thought i'd set myself a challenge of eating on the cheap for a month. I live in Sheffield with my Husband and I work full time - so I plan to take my lunch to work with me and save myself a fortune!! My...

I'm on a mission for February to spend as little as possible on food. My target budget is going to be £10 a week - do you think I can manage? Anyone else want to join me in a Frugal February?

Wow, just watching Obese, A year to save my life from monday. I can totally relate to Claire's story and the self destruct mode she described. The point when you realise that you are killing yourself, with every mouthful, but something inside you is telling you that it doesn't matter... because...

1.5lbs off - not what I really wanted but great considering i'd only been to the gym once and have been off plan more than on this week due to illness. Well done to all the other Tuesday weighers!!

Hi guys. 1.5 off this week which puts me 3.5/40 with 21 weeks to go...

OK. I'm back - totally took my foot off the Gas after the CRUK walk - got 40lbs to lose by my Birthday in June..... Let's do this!! Lost 2lbs last night at weigh in to that puts me 2/40......

Wow! That's some news! Congratulations. Been MIA for a while but i'm back for the new year :) xx

I usually manage the 1/3 superfree with each meal - tho if i don't have anything suitable to go with a meal just for example .... ran out of salad to go with my pasta dish - i might have a fruit starter, like some melon, or a couple of chopped apples while i'm preparing the meal - I find that...

Got a few little bargains - some nice new stuff for the gym :) Few tops for work :) I wasn't overly kene on the sale rails - it's like a proper jumble!!!!

Jacket potato, salad and home made tandoori spices turkey chunks :) Nom nom :)

Damn you Capricorn and your Matalan addiction - I 'popped' in on the off chance today .... and spend £80 QUID!!! hahahahaha

I eat like a horse when it's that time!!

Time of the month?

I've only done EE days since January and have lost 58lbs. It does work but just to mirror what everyone's said - you MUST have that third at every meal. I make sure i balance everything i eat with a third superfree - for example if i have a mid afternoon snack of a mug shot - i have an orange...

3lbs off and my 4 stone award :) happy!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHH 1/2 on .... i mean 1/2 on ... what a nightmare!!! I've had a completely 100% week. I just don't understand - but the irony that i only needed to lose 1/2 to get my 4 stone award is not wasted on me :cry:

It's sainsburys frozen fruit topper, mix of pineapple, strawberry, mango and peach. 3 for £5 - it's lovely stuff :)

So how much of your 82lbs have you lost with SW? Do you go to group or do it at home?

Going to do a soup weekend this weekend - i'm ADAMANT that i'll get my 4 stone award this week at w.i. Can't believe i've been losing weight now for 28 weeks already .... anyone else feel like this year is running away from them???

Member that loses the most weight. Must have lost or maintained the week before. Cannot be a member's first week. For shift workers the weight loss will be divided. think that's all the rules!!

I feel totally spurred on today after last night's weigh in. Lost 6.5lbs and FINALLY got into the teens I think i stopped weighing myself when i was about 18. .I remember thinking how coincidental it was then that at 18 years old, i was around 18 stone and a size 18 .... and then thought no...

3lbs off this week - getting me into the '19 stone summat' bracket finally!!! Woohoo!! And my BMI is now below 40 which means i'm no longer Morbidly Obsese .... i'm just severely obese LOL

Ooh don't worry!! There are a few of us here (me included) with a whole heap to lose but the support you will get here is fab - whether we only have a few pounds or half a person to lose everyone helps! I had the equivalent of my Husband (151lbs) to lose when I started .... 1/3rd down ...

It does feel like they just want you to fall off the wagon sometimes. I've found subway to be a real help at times like those - big salad box with lots of sliced meat on. Or tesco, packs of sliced meat and the salad bags, cherry toms or carrot sticks.

I did :) managed to sell my saturday tickets and buy some for sunday. They were amazing!!!!

It does feel great - especially now as people are really noticing!! It's daft things as-well though - I got on the peasant wagon (bus) the other day and had so much more room!! I can have a bath without worrying whether i can get in or out of the tub unaided! I can buy nicer shoes with heels...

My none weight related target was always to get a size 14 dress from Jane Norman to wear for my 30th in 2012.... sadly they have now gone into administration!!! So that's not gonna happen!!

I've gone from a size 28 to a 20. I can really feel the difference - i sleep better, i can buy clothes in debenhams (awesome victory!)

I go to the gym after work on a Tuesday then straight to group. So i haven't had my evening meal. But i eat well during the day as i know i'll need the energy for the gym. I always take an allowed treat to group with me which is often a nice dark choc fibre plus bar (hexb) and an options...

Oh the temptation is always there, but i know that a small wobble doesn't mean a train crash and I can get straight back on it if I do slip up! Well done on your 5lbs loss - that's brilliant :) Next week i'm pushing to get under the 20stone mark - can't wait to be back in the teens!!!

:bliss: I'VE DONE IT!!! :bliss: I've hit my 26 week interim target of 50lbs lost on week 25 with a total of 51lbs lost!!! WOOHOO!!! ...... but back to reality .... another 100lbs to go

Get well soon Capricorn. You've inspired me to do a cupboard inventory tomorrow - I think i'm in for a shock!!! xx

thanks Roziee and JaneB :)

2 sticks of celery with primula light squirted down them :)

I'm having a dilemma ... I booked 2 tickets to see the Foo Fighters last year and having lost the confirmation email to the depths of my spam box i'd convinced myself that they were for Sunday 3rd July. But they arrived just this morning and are for Saturday 2nd July!! I've got...

Trixy - have a few days of fresh soup :) You can pull it back xx

Started on the 4th January (First day back at work after new year!!) So If i do at least 1 1lb this week i'll have lost 50lbs in 6 months :)

I've gone from 23st 9.5 to currently 20st 2 .... really hoping for a good loss this week to get me down into the teens finally!!

I have to say that the dark choc and almond fibre plus bars are my fave HEXB choccie hit - so lovely!!!

Big bowl of fresh chopped pineapple, strawberries and nectarine. And a massive cup of tea,

Right - it's a soup weekend - i'm determined to get to my 50lb target. It's the last week of June .. so i'll have achieved it in 6 months. If i get 2.5lbs off this week i'll also be into the teens!!! 19 stone something!!! I'm on it!! Wish me luck :D

I've lost 3.5 stone - got another 7 to go .... Onwards and downwards. I just have to take every day as it comes .... such a long way to go but I didn't get to 24 stone over night nor will i get to target overnight ... but more importantly nor would i want to. The effort is worth it knowing...

I'm in - I only work 'up the road' from Head Office in Chesterfield :) I've thought about it myself - my company keeps hinting at potential redundos so i've got it at the back of my mind for an escape plan if needs be!!

Welcome B0SCO :) Well done on your first steps xx

Oh My Goodness!!! If you don't get a group with SW i will BOYCOTT!!! You are doing amazing :) Fab news on the move date - what a way to make an entrance on your Birthday :) xx

I weighed in last night as i'm away from home on a course ..... But I still managed to lose 1.5lbs this week EVEN though it was my birthday, I went to a wedding, had a weekend away and a carvery lunch!! OVER THE MOON!! I also got my 3.5 stone award :) HAPPY!!!!! Well done to all the other...

Awww your granddaughter is so cute Jim!! Looks like you had a lovely time :) x

Still managed to lose 1.5lbs this week - unreal!!! Got my 3 and a half stone award tonight too :-)

Brilliant week. Hope you had an enjoyable holiday! Weigh in tonight so we'll see what the damage is - i'm confident that what ever it is i'll get off again this week :)

Well it's my birthday on Wednesday .... and I have a wedding on Friday ..... lets hope this isn't a train wreck!!!

Chopped strawberries and apple with a fat free strawberry yoghurt over the top :)

Wow! I've not been on here for a while - had a bit of a wobble - but i'm back and raring to go. You are such an inspiration - I really need to kick my exercise up a gear but at the moment struggling with a lumbar strain :( boohiss!! I've tried to train through it but it's just making it worse...

Thank you :) I'm back on track now - i'm pleased I didn't let it get me down!!

Welcome back :) Well done for your losses so far x

Anytime :) xx

I've lost all my weight so far on Extra Easy - just trust the plan it does work!! :) Good luck, look forward to hearing about your journey!! xx

Back on track - sorry for my absence. Weigh in a week ago - 5lb gain DISASTER. I'm not convinced it was a true gain as i had been ill. Weigh in last night - 6.5lbs off - so lost what I put on and 1.5lbs as well. So i'm 45.5lbs now - 4.5lbs to go til i'll lost 50lbs!!!

6.5lbs off for me this week - hollow victory as i'm technically only counting 1.5lbs of it after a 5lbs gain last week!!!!

Cheers guys! I'm made up!! 5.5lbs to go to hit my interim target of 50lbs!!

Weighed in early again this week - another 3lbs down and my 3 stone award :D HURRAY!!!
