Aw, only just seen this. Thats a shame but i totally understand your reasons. I have a 4 year old and 6 year old and they sometimes pick up on certain things im eating different to them and ask if its because i need to get a smaller tummy! Hope you enjoy slimming world, and Good Luck, x

Right, im back again. I had my 4lb loss and then somehow went a bit wrong. Bit annoyed about that as really that should have inspired me. Anyway, i ONLY gained 1lb, which isnt too bad i guess, so im now 11.3 and really determined (again). That spot of sunshine over the weekend reminded me of how...

Have you started one yet? I'm feeling really positive and am looking forward to wi tomorrow. Weekend has been slightly off plan but still better than recently! Fingers crossed. Looking forward to reading your diary.

Thanks for the advice. It makes sense, I'm just so used to doing it. I'll give it a go though. Just about to take a look at your diary, if I can find it.

Plans for Thursday 14th March B: yog L; chicken stir fry S; pickled onion monster munch S: yog D: hairy dieters lasagne with veggies Feeling really pleased with myself so far and ive managed to avoid the scales all week, which is a miracle for me. Im not feeling things any looser but ive not...

Taaaaa daaaaaaaa. I'm back. Heavier than ever but determined-again Have had two good days, and am feeling positive. I've a long way to go now, thanks to spending the last 6 months half-heartedly dieting. Am now 11.6 and my goal is 9st! Monday 11th march B, yog S, hm mushroom and leek soup L...

Hope you got the result you wanted stevie. X

Good luck from me. I'd like to do the same. I'm getting nowhere!

Had a flow of good days but had cake in the office yesterday and didnt even enjoy it! My food plans take me 1.5pts over my allowance today. Really hope I can have a loss this week, I've only got cereal, salad and steak today dotted with fruit and yog along the way.

I'm with you too. Weight for the past few months has been static at 10.12. Really tried so hard last week but still no change! This week is gonna see a big loss I promise! My aim is 9 stone, but I'll be chuffed to see 9.13 before Christmas!

Feeling bloated today and unhappy with myself. Wish I'd pulled my finger out earlier and made some progress. Food for today: B: muesli (2) S: melon (1) S: yog (1) L: prawn salad (3) S: grapes (1) D: haddock (3), rice (3), veggies (0) 14/18 so far

Good luck stevie

Result was as expected-a sts. Determined to have a good loss next week tho do here's today's food B, muesli-2 S, banana-1 S, salad cob-2 L, prawn salad-3 S, crisps-1 S, yog-1 D, sea bass-4, rice-3, veggies-0 17/18

Can't even remember what happened food wise yesterday but I've been reasonably good all weekend. It's weigh day tomorrow and to be honest, even though I've been almost on plan all week, I don't feel I've lost much, if anything. I've got good and tasty food plans for next week though so hopefully...

They do take a lot of time but I find I behave slightly better if I've written down a plan.

Feel like I'm doing really well this week not had chance to update the diary but ive been under points every day except yesterday. Not really found it too hard so far either. The weekend is always tricky for me tho...... B, muesli (2) L, soup and bread 1.5 S, yog (1) D, chicken biryani (9) and...

Yes, I find it hard to keep the diaries updated too. This is my 4th try I think!! Today's food B, muesli (2) L, spaghetti on toast (5.5) S, yog (1) D, pork, mash, veggies, cheese sauce (10) S, yog (1)

Good luck to you then. Do you have a food diary? Can't see your stats coz I'm on my phone. What's your height and goal weight? My goal is 9st. I got there 2 years ago and was so pleased with it. Just couldn't keep it up! How I've ended up back at almost 11st I don't know!!

So ive resigned myself to the fact that im not going to get to goal for Christmas (almost 2 stone away), but im hoping to get half way, which means loosing 13lbs. Ive switched between WW and SW so many times, i cant begin to count, but im going for WW as it provides a bit more discipline - I...

Have you looked into distributing your points differently like the Wendi plan? Not sure how it would work with pro points as I don't do it but the Wendi plan works well with a plateau on old points. Good luck.

Gah, sorry, had another bad week at work and just really not had time to get onto here and update. Havent really been pointing but i have been reasonably good. I must have gone over points though because ive not lost any weight and am still at my start weight. Im really back to pointing now. I...

Still not off to the best start today but im determined the rest of the day will be better. Ive had a scotch pancake for breakfast and somehow a biscuit fell into my mouth too. Thats probably about 7 points for breakfast. L: 0 point mushroom soup S: egg salad (2) D: Chicken salad and coleslaw...

Today has been a bad day food wise and mood wise. Its a viscious circle isnt it? Feel down, eat, feel down about eating, eat........ We had a buffet breakfast at work this morning and i really had excellent intentions but its all gone wrong, and because im annoyed at myself, ive now eaten some...

Looking after yourself is the main thing. Hope you're ok. X

Well folks, last week wasnt the best. I had quite a lot going on and planning went out the window. As a result i regained that 1lb i lost last week. Anyway, things have settled now and im back on track. Hubby messed my day up yesterday with dinner, but i know i did the best that I could do, so i...

Hope youve had a fab time Stevie.

Well, this week hasn't gone well for me at all. Weigh in tomorrow and I expect a gain! Better luck next week!!

hellooooooo I re-started last week. I lost 1lb at WI yesterday. Im doing it alone (well, with my hubby - but without going to class), which has worked for me in the past. I switched from ww to sw a while back for a change as my loss seemed to slow in ww, but in reality sw didnt work for me one...

mmmmmmmmmmmmm cheese on toast:gimi:

Morning. Managed yesterday to not need my velvet crunch nor my jelly and meringe, but i did end up having a small beer so that probably evens out. Todays food: B: onion, mushroom and sweetcorn omelette (1.5) S: apple (0.5) S: banana (1) L: jacket and 0 point chilli (3) S: velvet crunch (1) S...

Morning, been a bit too busy over the weekend to update, but here i am. Weigh in was this morning and ive only lost 1lb, but i guess thats better than a gain. I had a bad day friday after absolutely no sleep so i was a bit annoyed with myself, and i assume thats the reason for such a small loss...

Well done. X

Great pics stevie. X

Thanks, have enjoyed today's food. Infect, I'm enjoying the change of plan, which I didn't expect. Fingers I can keep it up.

Ah, well done. 4lbs in a week is amazing for a female. Last time my hubby was losing 6-7lbs a week while I was losing 2 at most. Gone 2-3 points over today but I've had to guess my evening meal as we were eating out. Hopefully I've overpointed.

Well done for such a little gain. Good luck this week. X

Thanks both. After a sneaky wi this morning (I can't help myself), I am 1lb down and hubby is 4lbs down. Pleased with that. Even feel a little less bloated today. Today's food, day 3 B, tomatoes on toast, 1.5 S, banana, 1.5 L, White cob with smoked salmon, side salad and pickles, 4.5 S, velvet...

Pleased to report that day 1 went well. I probably went ever so slightly over my points, but i can cope with that. Today is day 2, and my first day at work following the plan. Hopefully ive brought enough stuff to keep me away from the biscuit tin. B: hot choc and a mushroom and onion omelette...

Glad your weekend was good, sounds amazing. Its always better to have enjoyed the gain than have gained for no reason. Fingers crossed for no gain though.

Ok, day 1. Weight: 10st 13lbs Food for today: B, 30g frosties and skimmed milk-2pts S, 0 point broccoli soup L, salad with a mini wrap and salad cream-2points S, mullerlight-1.5? S, apple-0.5 D, chilli (using stewing steak), jacket potato with mushrooms and onions, dry fried and mixed with a...

Tomorrow is the day I start my journey to goal - again. I followed ww a few years back and got to my goal of 9st (from 12 ). Somehow it's almost all back on as I expect to weigh in tomorrow at 11stone. I've been messing with slimming world for well over a year now and have finally admitted it's...

Ok, after a looooooooong hard think, I've decided to stop kidding myself that sw is working for me. It clearly is not and I'm fed up of trying. I'm going to go back to weight watchers, despite swearing that I'd never go back. I've previously done really well with ww, getting from over 12 stone...

Thursday 23rd august - red Busy crazy day planned today so I've been busy sorting my food this morning to attempt to avoid being naughty. B, porridge (b and a) S, apple L, bacon and egg salad S, cereal bars (b) D, hunters chicken (a) and large salad

I think that's a fairly low gain for 3 weeks kinda off plan. Well done for that and also for your determination to get back on it. You can do it. X

Wednesday 22 august - red B, bacon, egg, tomatoes S, mini max(b) L, prawn salad S, jam tart D, fish pie (3 syns), runner beans and broccoli Feeling a bit rough and washed out today hence me reaching for a jam tart already. Hope I start to feel better soon, as I've got my 5 year old having a...

I usually dry fry a LOAD of onions, mushrooms and garlic until softened, add a stock pot and a small amount of water (50ml?) simmer for 5 mins and then stir in a tbsp or two of lf creme fraiche and black pepper.

wow, what a difference. well done

Ended up HAVING to go to the pub for dinner last night so wasnt really on plan at all, then my neighbour bought me over a bowl of homemade apple crumble, so i HAD to eat that. Back on track today - again. Tuesday 21st August - RED day B: 2 alpen lights (B), warmed up, with a muller yog on top...

I really hope you had a wee bit more than that yesterday ;)

Lovely pics, stevie. Good luck later.

Only 1lb lost this week. Bit disappointed but will continue. went on a canal boat yesterday with a bunch of friends and all our kids. Was a lovely day, lovely weather, no arguing - a miracle with 6 kids under 6. I didnt even eat too badly either. Back to plan today though. Monday 20th August -...

My days are just so hectic at the mo. I'm struggling to stay organised but I've managed to stay on track the whole week, never going over approx 10 syns. I'm not feeling like I've lost anything though but fingers crossed. Got a day out with friends and kids tomorrow so hoping I don't scupper my...

It's Friday and I've done really well so far. I don't feel like I've lost anything but I've certainly got my head in the right place lately. It's not weigh in til Monday but of course the weekend is already tempting me. I've hardly felt the desire to snack since Tuesday and when I have I've...

How was your weekend Stevie? Hope you made the most of it. Thanks for the roulade recipe. Im saving it for a weekend with guests now. I had wanted to make it this weekend for sunday lunch at the inlaws but wasnt feeling very well on Saturday so they ended up with cornflake cakes!! Hope youre...

Yeah, its 198g of potato, but you need to keep the skins on for it to count as a HXB, because of the fibre in the skin. Im trying extra easy for the time being but im still finding that most of my food diaries tip towards red and i have chips with my evening meal at least half the week. I...

So, of course, i messed up again last week. and yet again, im starting afresh today. Monday 6th August - Extra Easy B: 30g bitesize shredded wheat and skimmed milk (HXB and 1/2 HXA), banana S: melon S: apple L: prawn salad S: pineapple S: apple D: bacon, beans, egg, mushrooms and onions and...

Did you post the roulade recipe yet stevie? I can't see it. X

Ah, sorry to hear that. Fab attitude though. Keep it up. X

I have onions and mushrooms in almost every evening meal and usually a pile of stir fried mangetout. I snack on strawberries/melon/apples throughout the day and at lunch i usually have a salad with an omelette/boiled egg. If its a cold day, i have a bowl of syn free mushroom and onion soup...

Im loving your diary. Youre doing so well. i need some inspiration and i think i just found it. ;) Keep it up. Cant wait to see more pictures.

I cant believe ive never come accross your diary before. Youve done so well and your pictures are incredible. Keep it up, but make sure you enjoy your holiday. Ill be subscribing to your diary for ideas, well done. x

Hope you dont mind me following you. Our stats are pretty similar so i always like to compare losses, food etc. youre doing really well.

Good Luck tonight, x

The girl did good yesterday. I did sneak a handful of maltesers last night but other than that i was completely on plan, with extra strawberries too! Tuesday 31st July - Extra Easy B: banana, strawberries S: mug shot L: salad with spanish omelette S: grapes, yog D: out for dinner at hungry...

you'll be fine. You need to still enjoy yourself and you probably wouldnt have if youde behaved. Youre doing grand. Dont let it affect your mood. x

Ok, day one of my fresh start. I weighed myself at 10.13 today, which means that i only gained 3lbs on holiday but still, that was 3lbs that really didnt need to go on!! Im sticking with the Extra Easy seeing as i didnt really give it a proper go last week. Monday 30th July - Extra Easy B: lemon...

Righto, back off Hols and 5lbs up!!!! I'm still hoping to go for ee and see how I do for a while. Am feeling quite uncomfortable in my clothes right now so need to get my finger out!! Saturday 28 July-ee B/L: cold bacon, boiled egg and cherry toms S: apple S: mint choc feast (was asked if I...

Wow. You're on fire!!! X

Good luck later stevie. You deserve a massive loss this week. X

Gooooood luck. X

Tuesday 17th July - Extra EASY B: banana and magic porridge (HXB) S: apple S: mushroom soup L: salad with smoked salmon S: yog D: chicken with actifried chips and stir fried veggies

Well today has gone well. Just a quick update: Didn't have my soup, wasn't hungry enough. My hxb were 2 aldi cereal bars. Didn't have salad with dinner, but had a huge portion of mushrooms, onions and mangetout. Just had 2 syns worth of chocolate. Very happy with myself so far.

Here i am with my new start (4 days before i go on holiday - but you gotta start somewhere right?) on Extra Easy. As i said yesterday, ive spent a year trying to loose weight at a decent rate by doing red days. I enjoy red days as we love meat in our house, but im taking extra easy at its name...

Still not doing well and am currently not loving myself. I've been reading some diary posts and have dug my old sw mags out and have decided to give ee a go. I opted for red days originally as I wanted faster results but having lost approx 1lb over the past year, I figure I'm going nowhere fast...

Hope youre ok Stevie. Youve been very quiet. When is WI?

Hope you had a lovely birthday Stevie. Dying to see pictures of you in your dress. Please share.x

Yay, told you you'd do it. Well done you. X

Had a busy day and didnt get chance to update yesterday. I ended up having about 20 syns though as i didnt realise that hubby was frying my fish (in garlic butter :rolleyes:) rather than baking it, however, it was beautiful and one musnt moan when dinner is being cooked for them!! Anyways, back...

Still feeling really positive, again, but I'm hoping to stick with it longer than a week this time!! I've been out for lunch and managed to have a completely syn free lunch, and I've gotten to almost 7pm without any of my hb's and only one ha. Wednesday 27th June-red day B, 1/2 melon and hot...

Well done stevie. Better than a gain. That big loss will be with you next week. X

Good Luck Stevie

Well, i know i shouldnt, but i did - i weighed myself this morning and somehow ive gained 8oz. Im not annoyed because i know i shoudnt have looked, but i was sooooooo good yesterday. Tuesday 26th June - Red day B: Hot choc, apple, porridge (hb) S: mushroom soup L: prawn and egg salad S: melon...

Here i am. After a fairly positive week, im having another go at updating my diary. I was getting so fed up of starting the day with all good intentions and then having to restart again the following day. Ive managed a full week of behaving and although ive only lost 1lb, im looking forward to...

This is soooo true. I got to 9st 1lb a while back (my goal was 9st), i got a bit flippant and here i am now at 10st 11lb!

Thanks chick. Not doing very well. This diet is so good and yet i cannot stick to it. Why is that? Ive actually had a few good days but the last week has been horrendous. I dont know whats wrong with me. I have NO willpower whatsoever and its getting me down to be honest. Ill be on to have a...

sorry ive been off radar for a week or two, but so pleased that ff worked for you. hope that you have a good week, x

will be trying the salsa tonight, yum

Yesterday ended up being a complete disaster food wise. I had a real sweet tooth and nothing could get rid. I just ate and ate and ate, and im disgusted with myself. Heres hoping for a better day today and that yesterday wont affect my efforts this week. Todays food - Thursday 31st May - Red...

Ooodles of luck to you then. You can do it. I too did ww before pro points and yes, my day looked liked that too. I wish i could get back to eating that little, i might have better losses! Am looking forward to seeing your results, x

Wow, Stevie that sounds very drastic. I understand how you must feel though but dont be so down about 1lb. You deserve a break from it, everyone does sometimes, i find it actually helps me to give my body a boost. I hope ff works for you though. Is it just for a week or do you carry on for a...

Morning all Feeling positive still - this must be a record for me! Hayfever starting to affect me over the past few days and im absolutely exhausted with it. My eyes are watering and im sneezing and have an itchy throat. The perils of summer eh? Wednesday 30th May - Red day B: hot water and...

Sorry to hear that sue. I can give you all the encouragement in the world but I know as well as anyone, if your head isn't in it, then it's 100% harder. Hope you can get your head round it again. I'm really enjoying it at the moment, especially now the scales are moving after 3 week frozen to...

Morning all. Feeling good today. Still enjoying the lovely weather and still feeling quite positive about this weight loss malarkey. Had a sneaky weigh this morning (as i do most mornings) and look like ive lost another 1lb already. I know not to read much into this though. Tuesday 29th May -...

Wow, what a lovely weekend. Fab weather, fab food. Shame we're back to work again. Had a few blips food wise but still seem to have lost 1lb. Hoping to be ultra good this week (apart from night out Friday) and maybe lose 2lbs this week. Monday 28th May - extra easy B: 1/2 melon, 1/2 banana S...

My soup is just loads of brocolli, a stock pot, water and a small potato. It lasts me 4 days so i dont count the potato. My favorite is cauliflower, a stock pot, curry powder and water - its so simple but smells and tastes amazing. Also if you make this one a bit thicker and add a few more...

Well done on your progress. I wish my diary was as well set out as yours - mines just like a shopping list. Ive enjoyed reading this and have stolen a few ideas. Keep it up. x

In the end i did have a handful of tortilla chips last night as i was soooo hungry for some reason. So over syns for yesterday but think i can remedy it. Thursday 24th May - red day B: banana, apple, grapes S: soup, mini baby bell (1/2 a) L: salad and phili sandwich (1/2 a and 1 b), tin of...

Only 6.30 I know but I guess I've done ok for an afternoon at home. Only had a nutrageous bar, which I think is a whopping 13 syns but worth every one. Other than that everything has been on plan and my dinner smells deeeeelish!

Half day at work for me, which is always tricky food wise as im so tempted by things in my house. Plus, im going food shopping straight from work - must resist those bargains!! Wednesday 23rd May - Red B: banana, apple, melon S: soup, mini baby bell x 1 (1/2 a) L: ryvitas (b), phili (a) and...

So I did give in and I had one slice of pizza-Costco size though :-( AND more importantly, I had a huge Costco lemon and poppy seed muffin. More importantly than that though, I've not written the day off. Normally id have thought "ah I'll start again in the morning" and would have eaten no...

Not weighed this morning but am feeling very positive still and have had several really 100% days now. Tuesday 22nd May - Red B: banana, hot water and lemon, apple S: 2 mini babybells (hxa), soup L: bacon salad - we have a works lunch today. I think theyre wanting to order in pizza. Hopefully...

Had a few good days but still no change on the scales. Im feeling quite positive at the moment so im trying to make the most of it and be as soon as possible. Monday 21st May - Red day B: banana, apple S: soup S: 2 x mini babybell (hxa) L: egg salad and tinned mackerel in tomato sauce S: yog...

Not having a good day here. Weighed again and still no movement at all. So this morning ive been in fed up mode. Have had half a cheese cob, some melon, a chicken tikka cob and TWO cupcakes!! I do feel slightly queasy now though. Hopefully ill be put off any more binges for today at least!!

I did day 2 of level 2 on Sunday night. I wasnt feeling too great and wondered if a bit of action would perk me up. It didnt and i ended up not quite putting enough effort in. Consequently, i didnt ache at all yesterday. Had a tough evening with the kids last night so didnt do it then either...

Only just really got settled at work this morning. Been up half the night with my eldest daughter, who i thought may have appendicitis, but ive taken her to the GP this morning (she seemed much better this morning anyway) and all is ok. Certainly no sign of appendix trouble anyway. Shes gone...

Saturday and Sunday were reasonably good days food wise. I did my best under the circumstances anyway. I also managed to do day two of level two on 30ds. hard going still, however i dont ache as much today. Maybe i didnt put the full effort in as im still feeling under the weather. Todays food...

I'll join you guys too if that's ok? I've been doing it about 3 weeks but can only do it every few days due to other commitments so I only moved onto level 2 yesterday. I started to find level 1 relatively ok after day 5 then wasn't aching at all after that. Today however, I ache everywhere...

Glad it's helping you. Food is looking good. Keep it up. Xx

Gosh, completely forgot to do this today. Been a mad busy day here. Lots of sad news here in derby today involving lots of young children. Very sad day. I've been busy trying to make sense of the state of my house. I managed to sort the kitchen before I was called to fetch my poorly sick 5 year...

dont worry - ive got you now. Pleased youve got your diary going again.

Ah ha! Found you! I was searching for saint sue, not saintsue! Glad to see youre keeping a dairy. Is it helping?

How are you doing Sue? Ive had a look for your diary but i cant find. Are you still filling it in? Im keen to know what youre eating just lately. Have you been trying to eat more regularly?

Thursday 10th May - red day B: boiled egg, banana, apple, cereal bar (3 syns) S: brocolli soup L: ryvitas (b), phili (a), chilli jam and smoked salmon S: yog, melon D: homemade burgers (no buns) with mushrooms, onions, and actifry chips (b), maybe a spoonful of beans (? syns) No 30 day shred...

I am BAD. That is all!

sounds good. would you mind posting the rough quantities of the ingredients or telling where i might find your recipe online. cheers m'dears

I seem to be on self destruct mode just lately. I was doing so well and im really disappointed in myself. Ive gained one of the lbs i lost last week. Its TOTM so its sort of explainable so still very bad behaviour. Ive lived off chocolate and junk this weekend. And ive had 6 biscuits this...

Yesterday was a disaster food wise. Dunno what was up with me. Hoping for a better day today. B, strawberries, yog S, soup L, ryvitas, phili, jam and salmon S, melon D, not sure yet. Maybe bolognase with hxb chips and hxa cheese S, fruit and yog

Gah, didn't do great yesterday. Had half an Easter egg. I think coz I wasn't feeling great and didn't feel like having my soup, I let myself get too hungry. Of course I've had the other half egg today!!!! B, scrambled egg S, cereal bar S, half Easter egg L, ?? S, ?? D, beef curry, hxb chips...

Have ended up having a small bag of chocolate and pecan popcorn, Was 130 cals so approx 6.5 syns. Hopefully i can resist other temptations as i cant syns my curry sauce for tea. Not had my soup or my banana yet, so they will do as an afternoon snack now. Day off tomorrow, which usually turns...

I do thoroughly recommend it. Ive always been a grazer, i find it really helps me. I love food and i find im constantly thinking about what im eating next. At least i know ive not got long to wait before my next feed. Dont worry about the chips. Strike them off and start afresh! You can do it...

Thanks. I love my food. I know i tend to have almost the same thing during the day, but i really enjoy it and i know it fills me up. Im literally eating all day 8.30 - egg 10.00 - banana 10.30 - apple 11.30 - soup 1.30 - ryvitas, phili, jam and salmon 2.30 - grapes, strawberries, yog then i...

I went a little off track yesterday. Had a difficult day at work. Had a glass of fruit wine and my nutrageous bar. Delicious though and worth it. Ive come into work to find a cupcake sale going on at the end of my desk so thats todays challenge. B: boiled egg, banana, apple S: soup L: ryvitas...

Are you sure youre eating enough there? Id be starving on that. I have to eat at least every hour!! You can have two HXB's and A's on red. I cant see any a's and only one b. I think id go off track if i were only eating that amount. I need my HX's. I dont go to class. I worked it all out from...

Tuesday 24th April - red B: boiled egg, banana, apple S: Brocolli soup L: ryvitas (b), phili (a), chilli jam and prawns S: yog, strawberries and grapes D: roast beef, actifried roasties (b), brocolli and gravy (2 syns) S: reece's nutrageous bar if i can find out the syns. The packaging has got...

LOL, its so easy done though isnt it? I do recommend keeping a diary, even if its just for yourself and written down in a pad. I find that it helps me enormously to write down what im having. I did go slightly off track yesterday by having a kinder egg, but im prety sure that wont have put me...

Oh yes, please join me! Looks like we are aiming for the same target weight. Do you have a diary i can have a read of? How long have you been doing it?

Monday 23 April, red B, boiled egg, banana, apple S, soup L, ryvitas (b), phili (a), mackerel (2 syns), tomato and chilli jam S, yog, strawberries, grapes D, Keema curry and actifry chips (b) Lost 2lb this week. Really pleased with that considering my awful day on Tuesday.

Sunday 22nd April-red B, scrambled egg on toast-4 syns S, banana L, steak pie, veg and yorkie, not sure on syns as was at a friends house. Cupcake for pud D, swede and carrot topped fish pie. Best I can do for a day out of my control. Weigh day tomorrow though. Fingers crossed.

Hmmm, may have scoffed a few spoonfuls of raw cake mix. Delish though.

Saturday 21st April-red B, fruit and yog S, soup L, ryvitas(b) and (a), prawns and pickled onions S, pasta(b) and cheese(a) D, fish pie, carrot and swede topping, with broccoli (3 syns for sauce)

Been a good girl again today. Loads of superfree and very pleased with myself.

Still feeling positive and pretty pleased with myself (yes, after only one day - thats good going for me just lately). Todays food - Thursday 19th April - Red day B: blackberries and yog (free) S: 2x mini babybells (a) S: curry cauliflower soup (free) L: 3 ryvitas (b), 71g phili (a) and smoked...

The girl done good so far. Actifried hxb chips instead of rice. Not had my other hxa and little syns so far. Had enough yesterday for the whole week though. Over and out. X

Ok, so i weighed myself this morning as the official first day of my new start. Im 10.11, which was a bit of a shock, so im 26lbs away from my goal. Todays food B: scrambled egg (free) S: blackberries (free) S: crabsticks (free) L: bolognase (free), pasta (hxb) and cheese (hxa) S: yog (free)...

After faffing about big time for the last year - trying sw, then going back to ww, then back to sw, all without much effort, im finally making a proper effort from today. My house is full to the brim of Easter eggs, which my kids arent interested in - so thats my biggest challenge. Tomorrow is...

The weight watcher returns!! Finally, i made a decision about my diet and im going for weight watchers. Im sticking with the old style points as i could never really get my head around pro points. Yesterday was my first day back on it, after a weekend of looking through the books and old...

Yeah me. Sorry I'm on my phone so can add to the thread, but I'd like to give up chocolate. I did it last year and it nearly killed me!

Im feeling much more positive about this whole malarkey now and am proper on track now. Ive still not weighed myself and im going to not weigh until 26th Feb and then the last Sunday of March etc. Im not setting a goal but i would like to have made some significant progress by my birthday...

thanks for your answers. i think its going to be harder than i thought, but im determined to go as long as possible. I was thinking monthly, but even just once a week would be progress for me.

Without weighing? I'm one of those who weighs daily, or even several times a day, and today I've decided to give it up. I'm fed up of seeing a number I don't like every morning and letting that dictate how well I behave throughout that day. I've not weighed myself today and I've got my hubby to...

Morning, ive not been my best this weekend and ive decided to go cold turkey from the daily scale watch and just do my best. Today we have a work lunch and were going to pizza hut but im planning on being good other than that. Steak and actifry chips for dinner and bacon, onion and cheese...

Me again!! Didnt have the best day food wise but heres yet another line! ___________ Today: B: banana, yog S: soup L: cheese (a) sandwich (white bread - 8 syns), crisps - (4.5 syns) S: melon, yog D: roast lamb, roasties (b), veg and gravy (2 syns?) S: ryvitas and phili (a&b) Ulcers are...

Good moaning!!!! Well i gave in and weighed myself and ive gained 1.5lbs but im ignoring it - honest. Ended up having a different evening meal last night as hubby wasnt feeling well (and he is my cook!) but its wasnt too bad a meal really. The chocolate afterwards wasnt great but heres my...

Well, that is exactly how i make my curried cauliflower soup, except i add veg stock and i put just curry powder in at the beginning. Its delicious, but i never considered making it into a curry by adding stuff. interesting..........thanks for the idea

OK, ive avoided the forum for a bit but ive managed to stay on track. I dont feel like ive lost anything though but im not weighing myself until the weekend. Blood test results were kind of ok. Got some antibiotics now too. Feel like im on the mend at last. Food today: B: apple, yog S: soup...

Thursday 26th January 2012 - red day :wave_cry:Ok, ive had an awful week or so, still feeling ill, had no motivation and have just eaten and eaten and eaten. Im now 10.6, which im absolutely gutted about but yesterday i decided enough was enough and i had my first day fully on plan in a long...

How did wi go?

Something went majorly wrong with my diet this week. Despite being really good 95% of the time, ive clearly overdone the 5% of naughtiness because im still 10.2. I was 10.0 at one point last week so ive messed up somewhere. Todays food: B: banana, apple, yog S: ryvitas and phili (Hxa and b) L...

Friday 13th December - Red day I had a bit of a chocolate craving last night and sadly i gave in to it, with numerous biscuits, nibbles and eventually a full size cadburys caramel. Not had my sneaky weigh in this morning as im hoping to survive that blip without noticing!! Todays menu is...

Yeah, i get the sainsburys vivaldi potatoes and weigh them out for hubby and i, chuck em thru the chipper and straight into the actifry. I couldnt be without my actifry - seriously theres probably been about 20 days during the past 4 months that ive not had chips in the evening (except from when...

Weight wise im 10.00 exactly today and on Monday i was 10.2, so thats progress. just need to keep it up now!! Yesterday was my Grandads funeral. I was a lovely send off and a really pleasant day on the whole AND i stayed on plan totally!! Todays food: B: banana, yog, apple L: salad with...

I have sw chips almost every night when i do red days. Anyway, im baaack. Finally back to normal. Was my Grandads funeral yesterday and had a busy day organising stuff on Tuesday but pleased to report i was on plan the whole time. Todays food B: banana, yog, apple L: salad with tinned...

I always have a huge salad but failing that why not have an omelette with bacon, mushrooms, onions etc and maybe a hxa cheese?

Tuesday 10th january Stayed to my plan yesterday, so am pleased with myself, even if it wasnt totally to sw rules, it was better than recent days. Today looks better. B: bacon, mushroom, onion omelette with hxa cheese S: banana, apple, yog L: salad, maybe with smoked salmon. Salad cream S...

Tuesday 10th January - red Stayed to my plan yesterday, so am pleased with myself, even if it wasnt totally to sw rules, it was better than recent days. Today looks better. B: bacon, mushroom, onion omelette with hxa cheese S: banana, apple, yog L: salad, maybe with smoked salmon. Salad cream...

Sorry, ive been AWOL for a while, had a lot going on. Back at work now so seem to have a bit more routine to keep me on track. The past few days have been a whirlwind and ive been totally off plan, but today is day one and im proper focussed. Admittedly my dinner isnt ideal but we have stuff to...

Monday 9th January 2012 - Red day Ok, officially back on track today. I dont have the best dinner planned but the whole day otherwise is syn free and thats considerably better going than recent days! B: bacon, mushroom and onion omelette with hxa cheese S: banana S: yog L: smoked salmon salad...

Ok, today was B, banana, then bacon, scrambled eggs and mushrooms L, smoked salmon salad D, ribs, hub chips and stir fry veg. I did accidentally eat my daughters cheese and crisp sandwich earlier when she decided she didn't want it, so that's today's syns gone!! Maaaan it was nice though!

You're right. I know I can. Things just dragging me down at min. Rachel has impetigo now so I'm back off work after only one day! I also have this overwhelming urge to eat as though it's Christmas. It's like my body is saying "whooaaaaa, where's all this Christmas nosh you promised?????" I have...

Well yesterday didn't pan out well, nor did today. Tomorrow is start day now, I'm really determined and I will do it.

I arsed up yesterday and today. Things don't seem be settling down it's it's proper messing with my plans! I'm still not feeling well, daughter is now ill. Gonna have to have the rest of the week off coz daughter has impetigo. Loving the time off work but just leaves me dreading returning next...

well, im starting today. Half heartedly though as im just getting over gastric flu from Christmas, so my appetite isnt quite up to scratch. Ive gained 1/2lb over Christmas, even though ive not eaten for almost 1 week and ive thrown up whatever i did eat. Think my body is in starvation mode now...

Ill join you! Im starting with red though if thats ok with you? I think ill go red, ee, green. In my experience red works better for me. How about you?

Tuesday 3rd January Righto, here we go. 1st day of being on plan this year and already i dont know what im doing. Hoping that writing it down on here will help me see whats going on. Still not feeling quite right so not managed breakfast yet. B:- S: 1/2 sesame ryvita (1/2 syn) with splodge...

good luck with your new thread and new start. You did amazing last year so you know you can do it. At least the Christmas weight is usually a bit easier to shift. Plenty of water and veggies and you'll be grand. Looking forward to your weigh in update later and posts from now on. xx

Thanks guys. Weigh in was as rubbish as predicted with a 1/2lb gain, despite vomitting for days and not eating! Fresh start tomorrow, hopefully back to normal if this sicky/headachey/dizzy vileness ever goes away!! Will catch up on all your diaries this week. My inbox is full and I can't keep...

Happy new year folklies. Hope you all had a good Christmas and new year. I've not been on here at all for ages. I've been really ill with gastric flu. I'm still not quite right. I've eaten nothing since weds but I don't feel like I've lost weight. Off to wi at 4.30 and hoping to feel well enough...

By the way, were you in when this accident happened this afternoon. Looked like it was pretty close to your house. Do you know if everyone was ok? Sounded nasty.

Hi Teresa. Hope you're ok and taking it steady? Be thinking of you over the next few days. Look after yourself. X

Hoping to get to target within the next six months. May have to update my aim after Christmas but for the time being im aiming for 16lbs Acc 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Aesir 42lbs (0lbs lost ~ 42lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (0 lost - 14lbs to go) Beki 40.5lb (0lb lost ~ 40.5lb to go) blossom...

Nasty carbs. How dare they be so yummy and mean? Enjoy your meal and good luck for wi. x

Wednesday 21st December - red day Well, as if to prove that green days dont work for me, after one green day in 4 weeks, ive gained 1lb. I kow i shouldnt weigh daily but i do and i can generally see a loss of an ounce or so each day but today is a gain of a WHOLE LB!! Back to red today! Sadly...

Yeah there was one but i couldnt stay as i had Katie with me. Didnt know if she would have lasted the whole session. From what i could see of what was laid out, everyone had just bought shop stuff - pringles, sausage rolls, chocolates etc. kind of defeats the object in my opinion. I was under...

1.5 off so that gave me my 1/2 stone. Todays food - possibly a green day: B: banana, yog S: clementines L: not sure - out for pub lunch to a place ive never been before S: yog D: sausage (7 syns), chips, beans.

well done everyone. Im doing good as well. In fact im not even sure that im missing it now. Its my natural reaction when i want a snack, to reach for the chocolate but once ive remembered, ive stopped myself and been fine and ive not even had that 15 minutes where all you can think of is that...

Monday 19th December - red day Well im still 9.13 today despite my best efforts over the weekend. Hopefully weigh in will show some results tonight. Todays food: B: banana, activia S: clementines, apple L: smoked salmon salad S: clementine D: haddock with stir fry veg and chips (HXB)

Friday 16th december - red day An unofficial weigh in of 9.13 this morning - so pleased. Am setting myself a challenge of getting to 9.11 (unofficially on my own scales) for Christmas and staying under 10st over Christmas. B: Banana yog S: melon L: ryvitas, phili and smoked salmon, yog S...

Wow, well done Catherine.

I got some of these today too. Also found a banana flavour one.

Thursday 15th december - red day Still feeling pleased with myself for yesterday, and considering the kitchen is still full of yummy food, im even more proud of myself today. Half day at work to go do last minute bits and bobs and then daughters nativity at 3. Todays food: B: melon L...

Nice to see you taking some steps forward, but dont push yourself too much. Youre allowed to take a break now and then and i thin you probably need to. Well done on going to class though. Hope your run goes well today, xx

Wednesday 14th December - Red day I am SOOOOOOO proud of myself. Works Christmas breakfast buffet (crumpets, toast, pancakes, muffins, danish pastries) and i had 1 sausage, some scrambled egg, a banana, an apple and a clementine. Go me. Todays food: B: as above plus a yog around 10ish L...

Glad weigh in wasnt too horrific for you Angela. Im really doing well with this, im really pleased with myself. In fact, im hoping to carry on as long as i can, and hopefully i can wean myself off it and then will just be happy with a small amount eventually. Ive tried this before and did...

Tuesday 13th december - red day Man, i am exhausted. Late night to bed, kids slept awful, hence so did i. My brother has been taken into hospital with appendicitis during the night, hubby is ill, kids are ill, just waiting on my turn now. Food today: B: yog, fruit S: fruit L: smoked salmon...

Aww thanks. 2.5lbs off at weigh in but I'm still sticking with mine so I know where I am. Pleased with myself though.

Ive just looked back and i lost 1lb the 1st week of starting this so, thats actually 5lbs for me in total (so far)! Woo hoo.

How are we all doing now? Getting down to the last couple of weigh ins before Christmas. Ive lost another 2lbs, which is a total of 4, so not looking like ill manage to lose 10lbs before Christmas, but im pleased i attempted this otherwise i would never have managed the 4lbs. Im pleased ive...

Monday 12th december - Red day Ok, so its weigh day and according to my scales ive lost 2lbs. Im sticking with mine regardless of what the class scales say as i wont be sticking to going to classes after Christmas. Im only doing this to get me back on track for Christmas and keep my head in the...

Christmas meal went ok and I guess I was almost on plan,aside from the very rich,sickly dessert. Today I've not really been hungry and all I've had so far is 3 ryvitas, Phili and some smoked salmon. Got chicken drumsticks for tea. Not sure what with yet tho. Maybe actifried chips/roasties...

Ok, it's Christmas meal out night. I've been good all day. B, activia L, Spanish omelette with salad, in pub tho, so cooked in oil I assume. D, prawn cocktail, turkey with trimmings and chocolate nemesis. I've done all the damage control I can so may as well enjoy it. Hoping to avoid the...

Are we all still on track this week? I think i am. I feel like im doing really well to be honest. Hope i can loose another 2 at weigh in.

It seems to be going really well thanks. I managed to get to 9pm last night without any syns but hubby decided to sort me out a treat which was some salted peanuts. There were probs about 30ish, and i ate the lot and only looked up the syns this morning. Still think im doing really well though...

Friday 9th December - Red day YAY, its Friday!!!!!!!!!!!! B: scrambled eggs S: clementines, grapes L: ryvitas and phili S: activia yog D: roast lamb, actifried roasties, cabbage, leeks and cheese sauce (4 syns)

I wouldn't count it (coz I had one too), but it doesnt make me want to reach for more, it just does the trick, whereas chocolate itself makes me want more.

I did, i did!! I reached for a handful of giant chocolate buttons and then remembered. I had a cereal bar instead. well done us!

Thursday 8th december - red day B: activia and clementines S: ryvitas and phili (HXA & B) L: leftover chilli S: grapes D: keema curry and chips (3 syns for oil, and a hxb) Syns: ?

Oh it was lovely Ali. Cant wait for lunch tomorrow, mmmm leftovers. The recipe for the keema curry is on the slimming eats website. I can't recommend it yet, but it smells fab. The main things i do in my slow cooker are mince dishes or casseroles. I ought to be more adventurous really as...

Maaaan, my chilli was nice. Got a Keema curry in the slow cooker for tomorrow. It smells amazing.

I think ill join you with this as chocolate is my ultimate destroyer. Unfortunately, im out for a meal on saturday and ive pre-ordered my dessert (Chocolate Nemesis) but other than that, count me in!

Wednesday 7th december - Red Got a wee bit carried away yesterday. Was a really hungry day. Think i probs had 20 syns spread throughout the day which i think will be ok, as ive none planned for today so far, so a bit of restraint will go a long way. Its my works Christmas do on Saturday and...

Try upping your speed food intake and drink more water. X

Tuesday 6th December - red Feeling good this morning - the scales were nice this morning and someone has just told me i look like ive lost weight. Food today: B: banana, apple, yog S: ryvitas, phili and onion marmalade (HXA & B) L: smoked salmon salad S: melon, clementines D: steak, chips...

The scales @ class say 3.5lbs off, which I'm pleased with, but im sticking with my scales as the overall weight is lower on mine! Lol! Who am I kidding??? Anyway, had 1/2 a roll of rolos to celebrate!

2lbs off for me this week - only 8 to go!!

Monday 5th December - red Its weigh day today - according to my scales (from what i was on them last monday morning) ive lost 2lb. Let see what the scales at class say tonight. Was a bit naughty over the weekend but from what i could have indulged in, i was an angel! Todays food: B: Banana...

Be thinking of you tomorrow Teresa. Take care. X

Well done. I've still never been in there after all this time!

Poor you. Just take it one day at a time and look after yourself, xx

Yeah,were all ok thank. Just a bit shook up and pretty annoyed now as the girl is now saying it's our fault. Got a bit lost with my food yesterday and had 22 syns in the end. Better day today, although i have got a meal out tonight and tomorrow. Not sure on food plans as I don't know what's on...

Dinner update. He has defrosted both sea bass and bacon but I'm not sure what's being served with that combination, but at least they're both allowed. Shame the 4 giant choc buttons I just ate aren't free.

You go for it. I'm feeling really positive about the week so far but I've got two full days of eating events on sat and Sunday so I hope that doesn't lead me astray!

Thursday 1st December B: activia, banana S; clementines, apple L: ryvitas, phili and smoked salmon S: grapes D: hubby in charge!

Wednesday 30th November Ended up having a green day today without even trying. Had a pretty bad day. Got caught up in a car accident with the kids in the car so plans for the day went out the window. Ended up going to a soft play to let them play while the insurance got sorted. B: activia L...

Hey. How are you? Let me know if I can do anything for you. One day at a time, x I went to the Monday (5.15) one at springwood as I work during the day. let me know what you end up doing.

Sadly, yes. I was 10.8 whereas I was 10.5 that morning at home so I guess that's about right. Cheers. Feeling a bit more positive about it.

I think we can do it too. Well done on your loss

Take care Teresa. I did see your FB post but didnt want to comment on here. Take your time. x

well, i survived group. It was quite pleasant actually but didnt half go on. Im glad i went. B: Boiled egg, banana, S: activia L: ryvitas, phili and smoked salmon S: melon, clementines D: cottage pie and cabbage.

Yeah basically. Good Luck, x

Im no expert but i can give you a rough idea of what i eat. Feel free to take a look at my food diary (link below) too. Free foods are all lean meats, fat free yogurts, most fruit and vegetables (except starchy ones like peas, sweetcorn, parsnips etc) Your healthy extras are (roughly) A...

Good luck Kelly. I do mostly red days now, after a brief (unsuccessful) try at green. I tend to have either a chicken salad for lunch or a sw quiche (with bacon, chicken, mushrooms, onions etc in) with salad. I know its not the weather for salads but i too struggle with red ideas, as im not a...

I lost 1lb this week. Not impressed but its a start i guess. Good Luck girls

Weigh day today and i only lost 1lb. I should be pleased as i didnt really behave over the weekend, but of course im not pleased. Im making use of the sunday people offer of free membership tonight and finally going to a group. Todays food: B:banana and activia S: clementines L: chicken...

Friday 25th November My green day went ok, but hubby had brought me a giant choc chip cookie, which of course i ate. So, other than that, i was within plan. Today im back on a red day, but a sneaky peak only shows a 1/2lb loss, which i guess is better than nowt. Fingers crossed for a bit more...

Well, we just had a team lunch, which has resulted in me having a green day today. Although thats not a huge problem, it will be my only one this week, and hopefully till Christmas. I also had a piece of choc cake which ive just worked out to be 11 syns! back to red tomorrow, for definate. I...

So theres four of us hoping to lose 10lbs by Christmas. Im really trying to be good, but ive gone slightly over my syns every day this week - still its considerably better than i have been doing lately. Good Luck LeleQ, Susie and Lauren. Lets see how well we can do. How about upping our water...

Id like to have lost that too. Shall we do it together? How much do you have to lose in total? I cant see stats off my phone. Im 10.6 and id like to be 9 1/2 ish by christmas. My final goal is 8.7 but things are slowing for me now. Im having red weeks for a while to try and give myself a...
