Arrrgghh! Changed my mind. Changed the siggie lol

Ok so I got too slack over Easter and put on a lb. :cry: I know how it happened (the plain chocolate in the fridge) :17729: So I'm no longer in the 10stone's (although not going to bother changing my siggie as I'll back there THIS week) :cross: It's just annoying that it's SO easy to put on. I...

Thanks! I got a bit slack the last week and on a lb :(

6.5 syns on hula hoops for a change! Man I miss crisps!

Lost 3lbs this week!!! :D I got a new Rosemary Conley Dvd and did it 3 times...so hurrah for Rosemary! BTW I don't post much on here but I lurk ALL the time and it's really helping. Even the thought of being able to change my signature helps! I'm no longer obese...just FAT! Whoooooo! :8855:

Yay! Maybe do a bit of extra exercise and then it won't!

Lost 2lbs this week! REALLY happy with that! If I get a pound off this week I've got to my 'half a stone off before Easter' mini target :)

Ok..yeah Green day. HeA milk HeB cheese HeB bread HeB ?????? Syns dinner later 4.5 Might have a bowl of cereal to get rid of the munchies later and use up that HeB :cool:

Ok I KNOW I'll be having that WW micro meal tonight with veg. So that's 4.5 syns I've got to think of straight away. Hmmm shall I have a green day and have double healthy extras?

Ahhhhh forgot I had low-fat mayo at 1.5 syns... So that's 9 syns today! Have to be careful on my syns with my cup of tea tonight now :'(

HeA milk HeB bread Syns....special k chocolate k bar 4 Total syns today so far 7.5 :sigh:

New day...and I should really look up the Syns before I eat! Had smoked peppered haddock for brekkie and that was 3.5 syns. Oh well it was yummy and good job I only ate one :-O

Ok syn free chilli for dinner. Used 7.5 syns on tortilla chips (yum). Had meringue with fromage frais and syrup for dessert 5 syns. That's all my syns today! First time I've done that since I started! Oh well it IS mothers day :D

Ok finished other Alpen bar and had another syn with ketchup at lunch and half a stn with the yoghurt. That's 2.5 Syns today so far. Looking forward to my chilli tonight!!!

A bit early for me but I wanted something more so I've had one of my HeB's already and had an Alpen bar. :whistle:

Another 100% day under my belt yesterday! Brekkie...banana, fromage frais and honey..... 1 SYN

Using the rest of my syns on wine. HAS to be done! Must make sure I resist the wine-induced munchies with anything bad. Might hard-boil some eggs to snack on :D

Had another half a syn with the muller coconut yoghurt. So that's 3 syns today so far.

The joy of Sw! Have decided to have a green day as I've not had any meat as yet so I can have another HeA and another Heb as I've just bought some Alpen Lights which I'm pretty sure I can have two of! :character00238: Got some quorn sausages in so I'll just have them for tea in a bit of a...

Can't find my notepad (I'm blaming my hubby), so am going to write down the stuff I need to remember here today! HeA....Cheddar HeB....WW bread (small but yummy cheese sarnie) Syns so far.......honey= 1 very low-fat mayo.....1.5 syns Won't bother to write down the free stuff 'cause I know...

I don't know...I can't actually find a date online anywhere. Hopefully it'll be very soon :D

Oh well done! I DREAM of a size 10 dress! Honestly can't imagine buying size 10 clothes. I'm going to give it a good try though ;)

Ok...about to go on Just Dance with the kids. I'm gonna do some exercise :D

3lb off for me on my first week. Pretty chuffed with that :) Am now going to get the Wii on and play Just Dance with the kids as I'd like to lose another 2 this week if I can.

Thanks! Well I've lost 3lbs this week so I guess it does! A diet where I can eat massive dinners and then still lose weight is ideal for me! :eatdrink023:

A meringue, topped with fromage frais and golden syrup! Hit that sweetness craving right on the head ;)

Just eating a massive portion of quorn fillets/potato wedges and salad. I am STUFFED. Kind of feel that I really CAN'T lose weight tomorrow with all this food in me! I guess we'll see.....:innocent0001:

LOl she sounds like me. I use Twitter for all my Doctor Who obsessing. Try to keep it off of Facebook. Not that I'm online ALL the time or anything :whistle:

Well done on the 100% days! I've been good all week. Weigh-in tomorrow so fingers crossed! I'm rubbish at exercise. I am a naturally lazy person! I have a Wii fit and Just Dance which I quite like doing but they are still sitting gathering dust. :slap: I do walk the kids to school pretty much...

Well put it that way...if it was David Tennant doing it.... :character00116::banana dancer::8855:

Resisted the biscuits at toddler group! AND I forgot my banana so I just had a cup of tea. *shines halo*. However feeling extremely rough now so am finding it hard not to pig out on the kids chocolate. Need some Syns for dinner so don't want to waste them.

I tried that and it nearly killed me! Honestly I hated every minute and found myself swearing and shouting at the tv. Longest 20 minutes of my life ;) I'm in awe of people who can keep that thing up!

Hmmmm all very well being able to have as big a jacket potato as you want...but you really have to make sure you HAVE a jacket potato in the cupboard. :d'oh: Now eating the smallest jacket potato ever with a mass of cottage cheese and sweetcorn on it!

Whoo hoo! Go me! Just managed to make everyone else a delicious dinner involving chorizo and double cream and only had one tiny sip of the sauce to check it wasn't too spicy for the kids :party0049: Usually I'd be picking at it galore and THEN eating some. Next time I shall tweak the recipe...

I'm 5ft and weigh 11st8 and am a size 16. Although some 14's fit if roomy :)

I almost bought some more round Sainsbury's this afternoon but decided to wait until I get 'em when the shopping's delivered! How's that for willpower *shines halo* Am saving my syns today for a wagon wheel with my cup of tea tonight after work. It WILL be worth it! :17729:

Honk for yesterday 9 syns :D 100% so far today ;)

Yeah I ate LOADS of egg and chips last night! Unbelievable how much you can consume if cooked in the right way! I'm not ready to chuck out my leggings yet..if I did that I'd only have 1 pair of jeans to wear :(

oooh yeah the post-alcohol munchies. They're a killer :(

I've had some home-made bits brought back from school and cubs already. They really are the best!

I'm not a flowers kind of girl and not that sweet-toothed so can do without the chocs. Something suitably Doctor Who orientated would be nice :innocent0001: ;)

Having a Green day today as I wanted some Covent Garden tomato soup AND bread for lunch and needed 2 HEB. Don't like using my Syns in the day as I need them for munchies at night! Finding it harder to find things to snack on though, apart from fruit. Really NOT a fruit kind of girl :hmm:

Haha! Have just shoved some in my basket :whistle:

DIME flavour???!!!!! :wow:

Hmmm think I'll have to hide them from the kids though :hmm:

I saw this somewhere else..I think it was the SW magazine. I have to get me some of those!

Oooh thanks for this thread as I haven't looked into takeaways just yet and wouldn't have thought they were possible! Quick question...is chicken dhansak hot? I don't like them too spicy! I'm usually a tikka masala kind of girl!

Thursday! New day and nearly weigh-in :innocent0001: Please let it be at least 3lbs! Managing to stop myself from jumping on the scales every morning too is helping my mental state!

I'm going it alone too and am also writing everything I eat and drink down! Also writing a blog/diet diary is going to help me as if I feel like 'cheating' I can log in and write down how I'm feeling etc Good luck :)

That's brilliant! Well done :clap:

Well I came on this site because I CAN'T afford to go to classes and from what I read you get lots of support from the members on here. But hey ho this post has managed to make me even MORE determined to do it alone, so that's something!

Do you get them after you eat something too? I always get them if my stomach is empty so I have to snack on syn-free snacks a lot!

Actually that kind of makes sense. I LOVE beetroot and it is kind of sweet, so that's worth a go too! I'm not a sweet person if I'm honest but when I'm not allowed it I tend to think about it more! Now I can't eat whole packets of penguins I kind of want to! :sigh:

MUST NOT get on the scales. Got to continue to resist the temptation of a daily weigh-in. There are only a couple of days left to see how I'm doing after all!

Oooh I shall have to fight my daughter for the flumps from the sweetie box ;)

Why whenever I'm on a diet, do I feel guilty for eating something 'naughty'. I HAD enough Syns for that Cream Egg but I still feel like I shouldn't have had it!!

Still enough syns left today for a Cadbury's Cream Egg.....if that's not cause for celebration I don't know what is! :17729:

I don't know if I fancy the banana thing...I hate it when they aren't ripe and a bit 'crunchy', so not sure if I'd like them frozen! Might give it a go though. Everything's worth a try ;)

Hello! I've just started SW last Saturday. I'm doing it alone too as I have all the books and stuff. Good luck! Hope it's going ok :)

Ah SW ham, egg and chips! :bunnydance: BEST DINNER EVER!

Ah sorry yeah the tiny ones are 1 syn. The larger ones are 3. Not bad though if laden down with fruit. Although fruit is something I struggle to enjoy eating! Love veg but really not a fruit person.

Hi there...I've yoyo dieted all my life. Keep losing a few lbs then put them back on. But I'm not going to quit trying! Woke up last Saturday and thought 'this is the day' and got out my old SW books and just got back on it. I've stuck to it all week. I know it's early days for me but I feel...

Aren't meringue nests only 1 syn?

I haven't had iced gems for years! Might have to get me some ;)

Oh brilliant! That yoghurt thread is VERY helpful!

Oooh I am! I love it! Can't wait for the new series :D

I'm a quitter too! Well done on quitting. I gave up on New Years Day myself. I find mid-afternoon my hardest time as I'd usually have a fag or when I wasn't dieting a load of biscuits. I agree with the advice of keeping syn-free snacks in the fridge at all times. Or if like me you have a...

Yeah the pics thing is a good idea. Take a recent pic of yourself and compare it! I'm sure you'll notice the difference then :)

Helpful..thanks!

This time of day is definitely one of my danger times. When I was smoking I would have stood outside and had a fag and a cup of tea. When I wasn't dieting it was biscuits. My house is tidier for it though. Keep doing stuff to take my mind off of it!

Mine is definitely when I come home from work about 7.30pm and that half an hour between walking through the door, and having my dinner. My biggest vice is crisps and bread. Could quite happily stand in the kitchen and eat 4 slices of bread and butter whilst waiting for my tea to cook.

My husband's terrible. He's a real 'feeder'. Always says things like "do you want some wine tonight"? Or waves the biscuits under my nose. Then gets cross when I say no I'm on a diet. Often makes me more determined to do it!

Definitely! Around the chin for sure :)

Refused the chocolate! Well ok...not ALL the chocolate. I DID have a teeny tiny one in the shape of a flower as they were celebrating Mother's Day at toddler group today. :busted: However I DIDN'T eat the big chocolate biscuits which is the main thing. :D Feeling good about it again today...

I've just started on SW and was beginning to wonder what I'd do in the last week of the month when funds are always low! Just spent quite a lot on bits and pieces for me to snack on today and I won't be able to do that every week!

Hello! I joined the forum last year but did nothing with it. Lost 2 stone at WW but then put half a stone back on after I quit smoking. I'm now doing SW as fancied a change. I want to lose that 7lbs I put on and then probably another stone and a half on top of that :)

Ok..I'm new to all this and even though I've started a blog, I can't seem to find it on my Iphone app so am going to start a diary for myself here too. I probably won't list everything I eat but more likely use it to jot stuff down when I feel like it. This is my first week of being back in...

Oooh I must say I'd like a diet where the food's prepared for me! Sounds great lol

Hi! Hi there! I'm new on this site. I started my diet last Saturday and am feeling positive at the moment! :clap: Just realised my join date is ages ago! I just never used it!

It is although I've been on and off of diets for years lol. What's go lower? Not heard of that one!

Hi there! I'm new too. Doing SW. Started last Saturday. I'm trying to get my head round the site!

New :) Hi there...I'm new to this site and have just found this thread. I started my diet (SW) last Saturday so am yet to have a weigh-in. I quit smoking at New Year but that was 3 months ago nearly so I've got to get back on the diet wagon :sigh: First weigh-in I was 11st7.5lbs. Here's...

Trying Again! Hi there...I'm new too. Have been dieting on and off for most of my adult life! Recently lost 2 stone on WW but then quit smoking at New Year and have put 7lbs back on. :mad: Have switched to SW as I fancy a change. Need to lose the 7lbs I put on and at least another 2 on top of...
