1 cup per person!? No way! you must have really small cups in that case

if my dodgy maths is correct, 10g would be 0.6 syns, so i would go with that and then have extra HE :)

ive had my kindle since oct 2011, and have spent £2.50 on books! Some of the freebies have been really good! And if its rubbish you just delete it! love my kindle!

hhmmm, lets see if i can remember! i boiled the lentils for 10 mins 1st and then rinsed them. then i bunged them in the slow cooker with a tin of chopped toms,an onion, some mushrooms, butternut squash, and a few blocks of frozen spinach which i defrosted in the microwave 1st. i just bunged in...

Lentils!!! Lentils are so cheap and really good for you and so filling! I made a lush lentil and veg curry in my slow cooker the other day. It prob cost me less than £3 for all the bits and bobs, and i made 6 portions! and you can add them in to bolognese and chill and stuff like that to make...

This is Noddy, he was my 1 true love, and i still cant believe he is gone

We lost our gorgeous cat Noddy about 8 weeks ago, but last sunday we welcomed our new baby in to our home. We have a very petite (2.2kgs) 20 month old all black little girly cat. She is called Jean! lol. love her loads already, and she hasnt even been here a week. We got her from a rescue...

that was meant to say bu*gers!! lol

i hope your cat is ok. Im sure he will be, they are tough little *******! My cat went in to have his teeth cleaner a few years ago, and when i went to collect him they had removed ALL of his top teeth! the poor little mite had stitches at the back of his gums where they had to cut his gums to...

omlette and salad! you can chuck loads of different stuff in an omlette

i do this! i hav a spreadsheet that i keep at work with all my shifts and tasks that need doing on certain days. about a month ago, i added an extra column and note down how much i spend on "extras" and what the item was. its good to see a nice long line of 0's! :) this month i am very short...

i have a kindle and absolutely love it! i have had it for a year this month, and i have only spent £1.94 on books for it since. there are thousands of free books available for it on amazon, and some have been excellent! and they often have sales where loads of books are 20p, even big name authors.

happy birthday! its my BF's 30th in a few weeks, and i expect i will cave in and eat cake!

i bought my very 1st pair of proper skinnies yesterday, not straight like normal, but proper skinnies! i got the £9.99 new look ones and they are really nice! a lovely dark denim, and a proper waist, not one where your arse hangs out the back when you sit down! well impressed for a tenner!

i never brown anything before using in my slow cooker. that should be plenty of liquid as it doesnt evaporate like it would normally. if its too watery take the lid off for a bit at the end :)

my fave is a merange nest (about 3 syns depending) with free greek yog and lots of berries on top! delish!!

you seem to be snacking on cheese a lot, maybe try some carrot sticks or something?

i am defo going to try and put 2 mirrors at right angles, hope im not horrified by what i see!

i looooove BNS!!! i chop min in to cubes, dont bother peeling it, spray with oil, sprinkle with garlic salt and a little bit of tandoori curry power and bung in the oven for about 40-45 mins....yummy

you should definately get a helmet. i cringe when i see people on bikes not wearing helmets. my boyfriend fell off his bike last year, and you should of seen the state of his head and face. and that was with a helmet!! the helmet had cracked and a big section of it was broken away. if he hadnt...

i have salter ones aswell. i love having digital ones as my old ones had a dial and i could never read it properly as the lines were too small!!

i am having the same issue! i want to be at target 2 weeks today as im off on my hols and wanted to be at target for it, but i just seem to of lost my ooomph! and what did i eat yesterday?? Salami!! must be something in the air! but it was looking at me everytime i opened the fridge! and it...

Monster munch....5 syns. yum

you can do cous cous with only a kettle. baked potato and beans in the micro. you can cook quiche in the micro, the top just wont brown. trying to think what else you can do, loads im sure....

it was on either bbc1 or 2, so you should be able to catch it on iplayer. I saw the 1st one last week, and have recorded last nights. this weeks is about the super-sizing trend. it was really interesting last week.

actually you can. mine knows that he gets some more food at 10, so come 9:30ish he is milling around waiting to be let in. I didnt get a cat for him to spend all night outside in what ever weather, getting miserable and soaked. Also where we live there are lots of foxes and badgers, my cat is a...

my cat stays in at night, he doesnt mind, thats what he is used to. in fact he cant wait to go upstairs and go to bed most nights!

they are so cute! with names like hoggle and ludo, you must be a labrinth fan!:)

i have been adventurous today and have made butternut squash soup instead of my normal carrot! lol

if you are craving something, have it!! just make sure you syn it :)

i had the same problem....then i ate loads of nectarines and that sorted me right out!!! lol

i kind of agree with your OH.....but then again you can get jeans so cheap now, that it doesnt really matter if they only fit you for a little while....sorry, im not much help!

you really do need to get yourself down to the doctors hun. even if it is bad news at least you will know and be able to start treatment. dont end up like my aunt who was too scared to go to the doctors when she started losing weight and having stomach problems - she collapsed at home and died...

i like to nibble on savoury stuff in the evening....so i have some quavers....only 4.5 syns per bag! and if you like to nibble on choc have a curly wurly....6 syns.

£1 a box in asda at the mo!

you will be fine! none of us have ever had any bad tummy's from any food. my parents are about an hour away from sunny beach...its nice there! and it will be hot hot hot!!!

good luck, im sure you will do fab! have you been to bulgaria before? i am going soon ( 6 weeks yesterday). my mum and dad live there, so have been several times

WOOOHOOOO!!! i have lost 2lbs this week! after 3 weeks of STS i am chuffed! 5.5lbs to go until target! i have been using bottled juice

well, heres my lemony update!! the scales are finally moving! i have lost a pound since thurs! and i am finally under 10 and a half stone! hurrah for lemons!!!

hmmm might have to give it a go as i am still suffering!

mashed potato!

on my 2nd cup of the day.....not sure how long i can keep this up! might have to invest in some spenda

if i have a slice of lemon or lime in coke, i will fish the slice out and eat the flesh! so i dont mind it being really lemony!

i had a third of a lemon in each cup. i got 5 lemons for a £ in asda. just remember if you are going to leave the lemon in the water to get unwaxed lemons!

i started trying this week to pay more attention to my body rather than just eating because it is time to. I have still been having my breakfast, but at work where i have automatically been eating on break jsut because it was break i have not. its not too much of a problem as i can eat at my...

i am on my 2nd hot water and lemon....not a fan of green tea, so im just having it plain. i have left the lemon in the water and mashed it up so all the juice comes out. its actually not too bad tasting! i am going to try having 3 cups a day, morning, lunch and after tea! will report back!

i would go for the gammon, with pineapple, baked potato, and sald instead of peas. yum

i read that yesterday, am on my lunch at work at the mo, so once ive eaten im off to asda to stock up on lemons!

im just on my lunch at owrk, and will toddle down to asda and purchase some lemons! will start later with the experiment

you are not really selling that idea to me!

wow she is gorgeous! my mum got a mini dachshund for her 40th....a little bit smaller than Gracie!

Hello, I have been reading lots of people saying in the last few days peppermint tea is very good for you if you are having "digestive issues", and i dont mean the biscuits! however i dont like drinking hot drinks and i dont think i like peppermint tea. if i was to make up some and let is cool...

i might have to try this, im 7lbs away from target and i seem to be stuck firmly right here! have not moved for 3 weeks. will go and get some lemons me thinks!

dont worry about the girl at work...my next desk neighbour at work keeps going "oh are you eating again?".....or "its a bit early to be eating isnt it?".......it really winds me up, but i will the smug one when im all slim and she has a muffin top! lol

you look fantastic! wish i could get away with a dress like that! id just look like a numpty!

you can do couscous with just a kettle.

hello, looks good to me apart from you did not have any super free with your breakfast.

thanks for that. hadnt really thought about egypt but i wont rule it out! i still have plenty of time to get something sorted.

Hello! I am trying to arrange a surprise holiday for my BF as it is his 30th this year, and as it will be winter would like to go somewhere nice and warm. Barbados would be nice, but thats out of my budget!! So i was thinking Tenerife or one of the other canaries.... now my question is have...

its good to try new things....i had never eaten lentils before slimming world and now i love them! ( i know lentils are not fruit! :o) keep trying, you will find things you like.

OMG this makes my blood boil!!! i always see a man in quite sporty toyota that drives at 40 down the dual carriage way, at least i can over take though! and he sits about 2cm away from the steering wheel.

im the same! im off on my hols to Bulgaria in 9 weeks and i want to look lovely and slim in my bikini!!! not have a pot belly sticking out! also my mum lost over 4 stone last year....so im a bit jealous!!! lol

it will all balance out in the end.....its probably only water weight

another vote for tefal here, the ones with the red spot in the middle. we made the mistake of getting some really cheap non stick ones when we moved out and the black coating all came off!

same for me....except it didnt hurt having it taken out! im back on the pill now!

hi big bear, when you are in the search bit, there is a drop down that you can change to "title only" or something similar, and this will not search all the content of the thread. the bit that annoys me is having to copy the words in the box!

caffeine is a dirurectic, so it will make you pee more. i dont drink tea or coffee but if i drnk coke im the same.

i have lost 12lbs and look slimmer when im wearing my clothes, but when im in the shower and look down i certainly dont think i do! :eek:

i drink a lot of squash, and ive been losing ok. i can only drink plain water if its chilled

i am proud of myself today, for resisting having a bit of the victoria sponge that somebody at work baked and bought in for us :D i had an apple instead

thanks Jaylou. i am off on my hols on Sunday for a week, but i will def get hold a dvd to try when i get back.

anybody? :(

hello, im thinking of trying some pilates to tone up as i havent got masses to lose, so figure it will help. I have googled and cant seem to find a class near me at a time when im not at work, so was thinking of getting a dvd. so my question is does it really work, and can any body recommend a...

i think ive been a bit too hasty today in wearing some of my "skinny-me jeans" to work! i was sooo excited that i could fit in to them, but ive had to undo them when im sat at work as its a bit uncomfortable! they were fine when i was stood in front of the mirror! :D oh well, back to the...

i am exactly the same, i have my breakfast and then have 2 snacks before lunch. normally jelly and fruit and then carrot sticks. i dont normally snack in the afternoon or evening.

my fave thing to do with pork steaks is to dip them in a whisked up egg and then coat them in dry stuffing mix and bake them in the oven.....yummy

keep the new one in a separate room for a day or so. that way they will be able to smell each other in the house and get used to each other, rather then just being plonked in a room together...which normally results in a scrap! good luck..id love another cat, but mine hates any other furry...

another good way to make your mince go further is grated carrot....i add it to everything mincy....i add quite a lot as it cooks down a bit. we did or shopping on friday, and it came to £27 odd, but we had a voucher for £5 off if you spend £40, so went and bought a load of meet for the...

sounds yummy!

count me in! we normally spend about £50-60 a week. so i have told OH that we are only spending £150 this month, £37.50 a week. he is quite up for the challenge. i will be digging out my calculator ready for shopping on friday. we would like some new sofa's so any money saved will be put...

i try not to put the meat right at the top as it can dry out....i try to make the meat my middle layer if im doing a stew. i love my slow cooker and use it loads, espcially when im on lates, as other wise OH would live off of junk all week! this was there is a meal ready for him when he gets in!

i would go for curry....and use the mince as your meat

im on 11-8 this week, and yesterday i had a baked potato and tuna. did the potato in the micro at home and then just re-heated it at work. today i had slow cooked beef stew with loads of veg, which i put in the slow cooker yesterday morning. OH had his stew last night. tonight he is having...

this very similar to something i make...i use frozen veg aswell. makes a great end of week meal when you have nothing else in the cupboards!

i made sweet potato soup and i wasnt keen on the texture, i think the potato is too fiborous if that makes sense? sweet potato mash or wedges are good though.

we would love a dog but cant as we both work full time as work to far away to go home at lunch. i would love to adopt 2 rescue greyhounds. for now i have a bonkers rescue cat called Noddy!

the implanon should not make you gain weight as it is a low dose of hormone being released at a steady rate over several years, where as the injection is a high dose of hormone being done every 3 months, and its the flucations that make you gain weight. i have had the implanon for 18 months...

if your kindle is running out of battery quickly, turn off the wifi. i have had my kindle since 10th oct and have only had to charge it 3 times, and i read a lot! the kindle doesnt actually use any battery when it is in sleep mode, it only uses battery to turn the pages. once the image or text...

i wear jeans to girls night out. im going out 2mo and i have planned dark skinny jeans, a magenta pink top with silver beady details, and high heels.

primark have some very pretty little scarves at the mo. ive bought a couple for my friends as christmas pressies. superdrug has a lovely little set of 3 lip balms for £3.99. i got that for myself :D

i love penny vincenzi...my parents live abroad and my mum made me take her the last book in a trilogy of her's and i read them all when i was over there on holiday and have loved her books ever since. i dont know why, but i always thought her books were gonna be old fashioned, like old style...

im on book 5 of the tru blood, and im really enjoying it. I dont think theyve been too over the top on the steamy stuff! would defo recommend them!

an excellent book is "piece of cake" by cupcake brown. She is taken in to care when she is young, and runs away, joins a gang, gets addicted to drugs, sells her body etc. a real page turner....have read it several times now, and refuse to lend it to anybody in case it never comes back!

im getting the winter duvet out of the airing cupboard later....i was frozen in bed last night....i couldnt give poor harry potter my full attention!

i love primark....but the sizing is v strange! i have 3 cowboy shirts from there...a 12, a 14 and a 16! but they all fit the same!

im the same when it comes to dogs....and cats.....why would i want a baby when i have my cat noddy??? he is my baby! and then when we are able to, we want to get 2 rescue greyhounds....and they will be called Jeffery and Pheobe....i have it all planned out! :)

i got asked the children thing the other day by a bus driver ive never met before im my life!!! WTF??? my answer of "never i think they are blo*dy horrible" soon shut him up!

288 days for me! :D

im about to start the 3rd harry potter book. never read them before....i read the 1st 2 over the weekend....1 day for each one!

ive got one of the new cheaper kindles and its fab! only had it since weds but im in love with it already! :) the smaller one can 'only' store 1400 books, but if you read one a week it will still take you 27 years to read them all!

have just checked with BF as i was positive i had seen them and he says it is an old mobi pocket format which is compatible with the kindle....but you are right they are not avialable on amazon yet :)

my BF surprised me on Weds with an early birthday pressie....one of the new kindles :). so as soon as ive finished the last of my twilight book hopefully this weekend, im going to start reading all of the harry potter books from the start on the kindle. never read any of them :)

im having a kindle for xmas as i read soooo much, and im planning to work my way through all the cheap/free books first! of which there are thousands! i also have a small house and lots of books everywhere!

all the other actors are going to have to shuffle around on thier knees! :)

and Sheila Quigley apparently, but ive not read anything by her :)

Manda-sue Heller is quite like Martina Cole.

i know...every day i ask my boyfriend if we can order them yet....we have to get 2 so the other one doesnt get jealous! lol. unfortunately we need to get our boiler replaced 1st. prob get the kindles for xmas

excellent series of books....makes you wanna keep turning that page!

excellent series of books....although some bits do get a bit repetative. i first read these about 10 years ago and have re-read the whole lot about 3 times since. i restarted the twilight series from the beginning yesterday. saving up for a kindle....cant wait to get one!

£100 a month on electric seems like a lot to me kingleds. we live in a 2 bed house, and we normally pay about £130 for electric every quarter! and about the same for gas in the winter, and about a tenner for gas in the summer.

me too! awful things, the thought of eating them makes me feel a bit queasy! and peas. and sweet corn, the little bits of it. but i love baby sweetcorn! i now like eggs, which i didnt eat for years.

try and go to a bigger shop. the tesco in my town doesnt have a great selection of veg, but the asda near my work has loads more. so i go after work and stock up.

weve swapped a lot of our veg to frozen now. broc, cauli, sliced peppers, baby sweetcorn, mushrooms. you cant tell the difference with it, especially if you chuck it in a bolognese or a pasta sauce. value pasta, tinned toms, beans. value potato. you get the idea. dont buy fancy fruits like...

if you sprinkle salt on your carpet and leave it overnight, it will dehaydrate and kill off any eggs, and fleas. then hoover it all up. but the vibrations of the hoover cause any that have survived to hatch, so you need to do it a couple of time over the course of about 10days.

when i used to go to the gym, there were some very big people there, and they still managed to do everything, so i dont think you will have a problem. when you have the induction they should help you put a plan together, to start you off.

i love painting my nails aswell. my fave at the mo is to paint them a pretty colour and then put black crackle nail varnish on top. looks amazing, and i always get of compliments! i used to bite my nails right down, but now they are gorgeous, even if i do say so myself!

CARROT AND LENTIL 450g chopped carrot 150g red lentils (make sure you rinse then) 1 onion corriander (i also use cumin sometimes instead) could not be easier!! Fry the onion until soft add all other ingredients cover with boiling water simmer until soft blend! i add chilli to mine...

you definately need to do gammon and diet coke. i just chop the big layer of fat off the top, bung it in the slow cooker, fill up about 3/4 of the way up the side of the joint with the coke, turn it on and leave it for 8 hours or so. could not be easier!

definately passata....use loads of the stuff. and apples and banana!

i have 11 so yes!

you could microwave some baked potato and then some beans. nice and easy and you can just pop your microwave in the corner of the front room. of if you have a slow cooker you can just pop that in a corner somewhere and make some yummy stews. then you can just steam some veg in the microwave.

thats one of my faves.....yummy....so tender, it just falls apart....oh i could eat that now!

ive used the slow cooker like this for ages, and never had a problem. the food really does get quite hot in the end, and i think all the bugs are killed off

my parents live in bulgaria, and thier neighbour will feed any kittens to his dogs! its horrific! my parents went out there with 1 little mini sausage dog, now they have 2 more dogs who were unwanted, and 2 "bin cats" as my dad calls them who were just dumped by the village bin. im so glad...

love my slow cooker! i use a plug in time with mine aswell. im on the late shift today, so have got a curry bubbling away in it....and enough for tomorrow too. that should be a nice surprise for the BF when he gets home!

only half?! id eat the lot :)

curry. turkey, courgette, red pepper, onion, baby sweetcorn, passata for the sauce and spices obv.

i really want to watch the inbetweeners aswell, a funny film is "sex drive" it sounds like a dirty film, but honestly its not! im not that kind of girl! lol

i made a lovely potato salad the other day for lunch. just boiled new potato's, some spring onions, a bit of left over gammon, and a couple of sins worth of very low fat salad cream. and a hard boiled egg aswell with it. it was really nice and filling.

i normally have homemade soup at work, so i have 1 special box that has a proper seal. other than that i have all the pasta and lentil type things in the cupboard in the boxes. maybe i need to hoard food to put in my boxes?

i think you can get things from lakeland that go in the bottom of the drawer in your fridge aswell. i guess it works the same way?!

well done!! i havent smoked since the 3rd jan this year! i read somewhere that only 3% of people that give up manage to go a whole year with out having even 1.....i WILL be part of that 3%!! the besty bit is, not getting out of breath going up the stairs! how lame was that?! lol

does anybody else wash out all the tubs? i have a nice collection of ice cream tubs (pre sw!) and margarine tubs. i dont use them, i jsut have a thing about storage! what if i needed to store something and didnt have any storage...what would i do??? BF has to drag me out of WHsmith when they...

i make a list of what we will eat, then make a list of what we will need. most fruit and veg last ok for the week, and i have my emergency bag of frozen broc for toward the end of the week. the only thing we seem to go for mid week is banana's as im sure my OH is addicted to them....they just...

i have to agree with anna. im so glad my OH isnt like this though...it must be frustrating!

sounds good, but id have to replace the prawns with chicken or turkey....prawns make me think of little aliens!

pasta + sauce! im going to make the sauce myself, with passata, red onion, mushroom, grated carrot, a very baby corns and a bit of chorizo just to taste!

i make this stew and its lush!!! but i leave out the naughty bits aswell....and the artichokes....ewww

i couldnt cook at all when i first moved in with my BF. so everything was pre-packed stuff. needless to say i put on some weight. i would defo recomend buying the slimming world mag or one of the books and trying some of the easier recipes from that, thats how i learned to cook, and now i...

some have little clear plastic sleeves round the toe bit, and they dont rub so much.

im half german and grew up there...i love sauerkraut....the best way to eat it is too cook it on a really low heat until the liquid has gone (about 30 mins), i bung a bouquet garni in aswell, and have it with mash and proper german bratwurst with loads of gravy....not v SW friendly but lush...

we have these ones aswell...they are very yummy :o

most of my syns go on things like gravy and ketchup. some people save up thier syns for drinks...i never have, simply because i dont drink!

have just realised this has been moved.....sorry didnt realise i was posting in the wrong bit :sigh:

thanks for your replies ladies. think i will have to get the plain ones aswell. i did see a new flavour last night though...white choc and raspberry...bet thats nice!

hi all, just a quick question about oat so simple. i know the 180ml of milk that goes in to it would be part of my HEX, do i need to syn the oats. Ive worked out that the oats has 100 cals (for 27g) so would that be 5 syns for it? hope that makes sense! :o Thanks

i think i have lost it all my from bum! my jeans are v saggy in the bottom region now....only thing is, i didnt mind my bum as it was! wanted to lose off my tummy!

it feels amazing when you buy new smaller clothes! you will have to get hubby to take you out for a nice posh treat so you can show everybody how fab you look!

well, another lb off! getting there. i was on lates last week, but im on earlys this week so im planning to do some speed walking in the evenings. have got my ipod on charge already. only prob is sometimes i forget my self and break in to song!

have just looked at your stats...are you really only 4 foot 4?!

poor you with the cystitis...i used to suffer with it several times a month and ended up having to have tests in hospital on my kidneys and bladder. no reason for it though! seem to of grown out of that though thank god! but my top tip is dont drink any thing with caffiene in it when you are...

i always add grated carrot to any thing that contains mince, really bulks it out, and you cant tell when its all cooked.

you look fab!

you look amazing! well done!

thanks Rose. i was jsut starting to creep up in to a 16 when i started...i know its not huge but i didnt feel comfortable with it. you will soon be a 12 if you carry on the way you are going! we are off to bulgaria for our hols. my parents moved out there 4 years ago, so cheap hols for me...

i personally wouldnt eat rice that has been kept that long, but would eat other things that been in there for 4 days. I often make big vats of soup and have them for the weeks lunches. diet coke chicken sounds yum...will have to try it!

well hello everybody! im feeling good today! i have my new t shirt on (size 12) and i feel quite skinny! only problem is, i dont think i look any different when i havent got any clothes on! lol :o have just had some banana and melon, and then for lunch im going to have a left over bratwurst...

i brush my teeth when i want to stop (or not start) eating something bad, and keep chewing gum with me aswell.

well, im v surprised this week! even thought i ate a load of crap at the weekend, i still lost a lb! so just imagine if i hadnt eaten it! oh well, i dont mind, a loss is a loss! and only 2 more to go and then ive lost a stone! so i plan to be extra good this week. have just had my breakfast...

to me salad is not a meal, its a accompniment (sp?). couldnt have it on its own, but with something i can eat loads of it!

its great, has stopped me several times! likewise i always have gum in my handbag

i havent really got "it" though....but ive certainly got something! i am a very strange shape, small boobs, jelly belly, but i have a nice bum! legs are ok, they reach the ground, so cant be that bad!

well done, you look fab!

there was a post about loose skin on another part of the forum the other day, and the general feeling was that it was not such as issue as people thought it would be, so im sure you'll be fine! :)

i find it helps to plan aswell, and i dont spend as much as i know exactly what i want.

28 miles? spect your botty was a bit sore after that! we went from taunton to bridge water all along the canal path a few years ago, and it was lovely but hard work! i could hardly walk after that! have just given in to temptation and had 4 of BF's choc crunch creme bikkies. they were yum...

surfing, now thats something that really doesnt appeal to me! :character00180: i imagine it to be something like skateboarding and i tried that once and nearly broke my neck! i have stretch marks on my belly as well,l not many, just about 4 next to my belly button, and only on one side! i must...

hello peeps! i watched this really interesting program last night. this girl who normally ate quite healthy, she had to eat nothing but pre packed low fat food. she said that she was always hungry and ate loads more than she would normally, and the amount of crap they put in the food...

its not the fact that i weigh more than my BF that annoys me....its the fact that he can fit in to my size 10 jeans from back in the day, and i cant! :mad:

i think she's jealous. some people are not happy unless they are having a b*tch about something! she obv has nothing better in her life to concentrate on!

any thing that involves mince, i normally add grated carrot to, and last night i had shepards pie, and added mushrooms aswell, it was v yummy. and another bonus is, it saves money on meat! :)

well i did it! yesterday i was 10st 13lb! so only just, but pleased to be back in the 10's :D

hello everybody! had a pooey week at work, and then didnt want to come on the pooter in the evening. grrr well i lost 1lb this week! so thats good, a little loss. Not surprised it wasnt more, as i did have a few little treats! 7 weeks until my holiday, so im on it good style now, want to...

hello everybody! im still alive! been v busy with work and then not feeling like going on pooter when i get home. you are all doing so fab at the mo! you will all dissapear soon if you carry on like this! :D am munching on some frozen grapes, that i took out of the freezer about an hour...

my BF uses lanacane, he does alot of cycling (70-100 miles in one day, his idea of fun?!) and he says it definatly helps

i normally fry the veg off aswell, and do have any issues with it being wet.

hopefully this week i should be in the 10's! :) last weekend i was 11 stone on the dot, so fingers crossed!

we had this the other day, and it was so good! we didnt use any sweetner though, and it was still fine.

bit of an odd one, but cabbage!! any kind, pickled, sauerkraut, have it cooked, have it in salad, have it just as a snack! BF not happy as i have been a bit trumpy recently! :D

another way to do it, is to cook double of something, and then freeze it. Take it out in the morning before work, and it will be ready when you get home. you might have to do some veg, but that only takes a few moments :)

im on the smallest loop on my belt :) think it is a size med/large, so i will have to get a smaller one!

hope you enjoyed your cycle?! when i get a job closer to home like im planning then im going to walk or cycle. cant wait to be able to leave the car at home, but im not walking 16 miles! been for a stomp down to asda and bought a mahoosive gurt load of veg and salad. my lil arms felt like...

i have these aswell. I have them instead of a burger in my burger! (if that makes sense?!) :confused:

well done! thats great! its exciting when you drop down in to the next stone aint it?! :D i wanted moldova to win :sigh: am at work today, but am in a very bad mood, as boss had a go at me before i even started for something that happened on friday. I had a day off on Friday so its got sweet...

i agree with rose, you definately need a treat once a week, it helps us stay sane!

thanks ladies! im feeling pretty good today! borrowed my neighbours dog and went for a long walk this afternoon, then came home and had a yummy beef stew that had been bubbling away in my slow cooker. it had carrots, swede and parsnip in it, and i had it with cabbage and brocolli...so thats...

wooohoo!!! i weighed myself this morning, and ive lost 3lbs! so thats the 2 i put on last week and 1 more! i am exactly 11stone! so next week, i should be somewhere in the 10's! yea!

i normally plan, find it easier to stayon track, and also cheaper as i only buy what i need, and not just wander round the shop picking up any thing that catches my eye!

left over qourn chilli, with grated carrot in it (cant stand beans!) and a jacket potato. nom nom

i love radish! ive been known to take a little tub of them to work and sit there munching on them.

well im havent had any fizzy since thursday....would like one, but i must be strong!

no, the rat was a good un! he was called splinter and was the turtles mentor! the evil people were krang (a brain!) and shredder, with beebop and rocksteady the evil henchman! lol

a pink and white wafer, and a kiwi

i am on day 4 of no DC. Not struggling too bad at the mo....have drunk gallons of SF lemon squash tho!

if we are being turtles i want to be the purple one

i know what you mean, i have a box of cards for sale at work...dont sell loads but a few. people dont realise how long it takes you to make a card! and the thin that annoys me is when they go "can you make me a card, and its got to be pink, and yellow, with a brown spaniel sitting on an...

my main motivation is looks! i know that sounds really shallow, but there you go! i want to be able to wear a bikini on holiday and not feel like a big lumpy thing! of course the health benefits are an added bonus!

oooh i like that lil tortoise.... and the lime frame too. theyre fab!

i am getting a bit obsessed with my homemade carrot and lentil soup. i have it nice and spicy! yummers.

well ladies, had my lunch. I had homemade spicy carrot and lentil soup (think i am a bit obsessed with this) with 2 wholemeal rolls. would normally only have 1 but its a longer day today. have a very small apple (its like a big cherry!) and 2 kiwi's for later. then when i get home i will be...

ooh have fun crafting....im a card maker personally! im sure the scales wont be as bad as you think. all that walking and cycling will of helped. and they do say that dark choc is bette for you than milk choc, so you have nothing to worry about!

well, i weighed myself this morning....put on 2! :cry: not really surprised with the amount that i ate the last few days. have to be extra good this week. am at work all day today, so i made some soup for my lunch, and enough for the next few days. have bought no money with me, so i cant buy...

hi lisa recently i have been trying to avoid carbs with my evening meal, and it seems to be working for me! im not craving carbs as i have them with my 2 earlier meals. . maybe that would work with you?

my fave is carrot and lentil. i dont really bother to measure anything but here goes: about 5-6 large carrots about 80-100g dried red lentils (make sure you soak and rinse them) an onion loads of garlic. coriander/cumin or curry powder what ever i have in the cupboard veg stock basically...

i eat alot of cous cous aswell. you can make it taste of any herb that you like...it like mine spicy!

i cant remember the last time i had a drink....think it might of been new year and even then i only had 3! prob wont have any until my holiday in july now! because i dont drink v often, im a real lightweight now!

my friends children get points for certain things like chores. even for eating thier veg (which they hate) and then they can spend thier points on time on the telly or what ever.

i always find cleaning my teeth helps, as then i dont want to eat anything as it will taste yuk!

me too, i get really hungry otherwise!

i normally have my treat on a friday night, as a reward for being good all week. i find it gives me something to aim towards. we normally go and do our food shop on a friday after work, and get home bung in a pizza while packing away the shopping, then sit and relax and eat it.

well, this week started off ok! but then we went to alton towers yesterday! we drove up on thursday as its a 4 hour drive and stayed overnight in a premier inn. Dinner was frankie and benny's, i had a meat calzone and it was delish, we were also naughty and had desert which was choc brownie...

i am fed up with my job, although i am grateful to have it. i have been with the company for 6.5 years, im bored of the people, bored of the work, bored of the politics and the pettiness, bored of driving 16 miles to get there, bored of the hours, and fed up with escalting petrol prices...in 10...

my parents have 3 dogs, 2 mini dachshunds and an alsation type mixed breed, and they are all crated (separately) at night and dont suffer any ill effects. they go out for a wee and then go and sit by the door to the hall way and hop in to thier crates and off to sleep they go. the little boy...

ill join! i gave up smoking no prob...but cant quit the coke! i will replace with squash, as i cant drink plain water, does nothing for me!

i cant seem to give up diet coke! i gave up smoking no problem, have given up all the junky food, apart from my once a week treat....but i stil gotta have that coke

you are nearly 12% less of you than you were at the beginning!! keep up the good work. you have done great so far! :)

well done one getting back on track! i find it easier to follow a plan when im at work, as i know when my breaks and lunch will be, and i know what i will eat and when. i work in a call centre, as a resource assisant on the management desk....sounds posher than it is! i have to make sure that...

id personally go for the bike....but i would have a good look on ebay and freecycle, i wouldnt pay full price for one.

to me healthy eating is cutting out most of the sugar and fat. and having more fruit and veg. Less "bad" carbs and more of the whole or brown carbs. But healthy to me also includes a treat once in a while, normally for me, 1 packet of crisps a week and 1 pizza or takeaway meal.

my friend at work just said "oh youve lost weight....your waist is getting really skinny!" :D

Hello everybody! Welcome to my diary! I cant promise to write in it everyday, but I will try and keep you updated. A bit about me: Im 25 and I live with my BF of 7 years in Somerset. I was born in Germany and lived there until I was 6. My name Noddynoobs, comes from my cat Noddy who is the...

the other day i felt like eating everything in the house. so i ate a little bit and then cleaned my teeth, and that broke the spell

this is going to sound v random, but if you can raise your feet off the floor when you are sat on the loo it will be easier to go. you need something like those little plastic footstools you can get, im not suggesting you just sit there using your muscles to float your legs in front! hehe

my BF does alot of cycling...on a sunday he will normally go about 60-70 miles in a about 3 hours, and i struggle to stop him eating everything in the house when he gets home! lol! mind you he is still skinny as a rake! the sod
