Hey guys I have moved to the members only section, my diary is called "finally getting to goal " xx

Todays menu: 1 poached egg on 1 slice wholemeal toast (hex) - im only using one slice instead of two as its from a large loaf. 2 jacket potatos (small) with a salad (spring onion, tomato, cucumber etc) 2 tangerines 1 apple SW cottage pie ....need a snack for my syns...i enjoyed those...

Yesterday was a good day, although I didn't eat enough. I'll be rectifying that today! I had: 2 slices wholemeal toast (hex) Tangerine, apple Bowl of rice with chicken and stirfry veggies Packet of malteasers (9 syns) Some cups of tea (hex) I did however, make a SW cottage pie, some homemade SW...

Hellllo all. I have another diary on the members only thread but I thought I would drop in here, as today is my first day on SW. For a very very nutshelled bit about me, i only have about 16 pounds to lose, but to date, I have only succeeded in losing them once. For about a week. Ive been...

U not sick of taties yet Irish? hehe.

Sounds like your doing well hun - keep it up ;)

you will pull it back love. Its impossible to ruin ALL your hard work in just 6 days. You ay have just put on a couple lbs of water weight due to the increase in salt but that`ll soon be away.

Wish you lived in Perth Irish. Needs someone to go for runs/cycling etc with. BF is only good in small doses. Hes got bad hip so cant go for very long and he is also muscly and fit without even trying. grrrrrr! Keep up your good work love. And dont feel guilty about eating heaps - your meant...

Hahah the things we do to stay thin eh? Foot cramps and potatoes for you, shakes for me. X

Yay pic pic! Also, are you weighing anymore? Or just going off clothes etc. keep it up your doing ace.

Enjoy shopping doll.

Sorry to hear your sad news xx keep going Irish. Not like u hve piled 3 stone on. It's impossible to gain real weight in 2 days xx

UD looks good as usual. I see curly wurlys are being given the cold shouder for now ;)

Dont worry, you wont have ruined anything by having a few blips. Plus, your pulling it back again which is the main thing. And your excersizing like a mofo - which is also, very comendable. Draw a line and move on fresh! :)

Sounds like a good menu. Super impressive that you are keeping this up during your hols. If you can do that - you can do it anywhere! :)

Twit twoo Irish! You look fab! :)

Thanks Chick. Yeah comes off super slow and pings on super fast lol! Its not unusual for me to have a big loss when i start something new. Its keeping at it which is the hard part! Ive never got to goal except for when I do shakes. Seems to work for me.

Hi Supersonic We are pretty much similar weights and have the same amount to lose roughly! (i need to shift about 8kg) What are you doing to lose the weight? I am just taking celebrity slim rapid shakes (but faddy i know but its working) - i have gone down from 76.1 to 73.3 in less than a...

Good loss. I reckon you are now building up ur muscle and toning ! Probably why scales show a little increase. How much u lost now since start of judd? Xxx

My Mum used different moisturisers every single day from the day she found out she was pregnant with me. And she still got covered in angry red welts. Unfortunatley ladies its genetic - something to do with the elasticity of your skin. The only thing thats ever worked for her (and that I do...

Hi, sorry to butt in :) While I agree than SS is not recommended after surgery - just remember that even eating 1000 calories is creating a massive deficit. You burn over 1400 just breathing. So your still going to lose weight on 1000 cals. Try to lose the "all or nothing" mentality. Just...

You are so in the zone. Even on ya hols. Keep it up love. Ive been doing awful lately. Just lazyness and no drive. Ive started fresh today and Im gonna weigh in every 3 days to keep accountable.

Have a wonderful time with your family love! We are going over Xmas and new year! Freezing but so worth it :) for a month too! You have done so well with ur weightloss, enjoy x

LOL at the timtams- I don't think anyone can stop at one. I like the double choc ones or the Turkish delight! Yummm

Gloat away, u deserve it!! 4lb is fantastic!!

Looking forward to your weigh in this week. U must almost be at your goal now you lil star!

Think you have a good plan there! - I think you seem to have a good diet anyway - you just factor in your "treats" alongside your normal food. Too many people (me included) - cant seem to understand that UDs are for normal eating with a treat - not treat days. haha. I just cant seem to shake...

Hehe thats the spirit! Today is a new day! Chalk it up and move on ;)

I know. I reckon judd will be my maintaining method as I've managed not to gain the whole time I've been doing it. Just need to get into healthier habits! Gonna change the name of my diary I think x

Well done love you are doing SO well on Judd! I think you have found whats right for you :) - You deffo eat very well on your UDs though. I think I tend to use them as en excuse to binge, which is why im not doing so well. Im going back to Cal counting for a while as I feel so unhealthy and...

WELL DONE!! Your doing soooo well :) xxx

Aww your little one is so sweet! x

Keep it up hun, your doing great. The excersize is deffo boosting your loss, I need to get my bum into gear and do some!!

Yum. All sounds great! 10 mile cycle?! holy s**t thats loads.

Well done love! Its great when people comment on your losses! I remember after a particualrly sucessful dieting phase (a shake fad) I lost loads, then I put it back on again after a few weeks. I remember whinging to the girls at work saying "urghm im putting weight on" - and one of them said...

Haha I hate it when I write down what I've eaten I feel disgusting!! But it doesn't feel that much over 9+ hours !! Your doing great x

Hey hun how are you getting on!

Haha oh yeah ! Think I must be still hungover ;)

I cant seem to find the post about your weigh in? What did you lost this week hun? Your doing well and keeping your UDs pretty healthy - i need to start taking a leaf outta your book.

Woohoo well done!! That's brilliant :) must be the excersize that your doing too :) You have inspired me to do some next week !! Keep it up and enjoy your takeaway! You deserve it! (Ps I agree about the chocolate. It's been so long since I tasted the English stuff I forgot what it tastes like...

I find DD easier when at work just coz I'm not as bored. But agree with the fact excersizing is a pain when ya work! Weigh in is on Friday morning. It will be about 9 days I think since I started. Hope I've lost 2lb. We shall soon see :)

UD looks tasty. Hope you had a nice DD today.

Hey Kellmo, subscribing :) x

Guess we all gotta just keep going until we feel happy with it :)

Deffo. Because we both have only a stone or so to lose - it does come off v slowly anyway. Sidenote: (isnt it weird how on here we are all different weights but it equates to different sizes? must be all our heights and how our bodies are made up? 10st5lb would be about target for me as I am...

Yay great loss hun! Almost 2lb down and youve eaten - its a miracle haha

Sounds yummy! :)

Haha I know right!! I think it's because it's my first time home in two years, I want them to see how happy and healthy I am lol. Weird logic! Anyway good luck with it, looking forward to seeing your results. I feel like even if I only lose 1lb a week I get to eat pizza so it's win win! Lol!

Hi IO! I have just started JUDD this week too (its my first DD today and so far im ok!) - I noticed you were living in Sydney! I am from the UK, I moved over to Perth last year and so far im loving it. Got a trip home in December for 4 weeks so Im trying to get to my target weight before then...

I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE Pepperamis until one day I heard someone say that they are SO full off random offcuts, its like eating a blood bogey. I have never eaten one since! Hope it helps you too ;) xxx

Hello :) I am actually in the middle of a sugar detox. Once I get all the crap all out of my system I always find Paleo much easier to do, like 10/10 easy. It might be all in the mind but it works for me. I am on day three And doing well :) just eating fresh veg n protien! No grains or sugar...

So this weekend has been a bust for food. Its not that im pigging out per say, its just the types of foods im eating. For example, I will wake up and break off a piece of an easter egg for breakfast. Then lunch will be a toasted wrap with melted cheese, spinach tomato etc... then tea pasta...

Thanks Kat ill check that out :)

Chia is a super super awesome superfood. It's just tiny black seeds, they have absolutely no taste, so I sprinkle them on eggs, porridge, yoghurt etc for an extra kick. They are high in calories though xx

Ive run for the last two days and ill be going tonight too. chicken salad for tea, and yummy porridge for lunch (with flax, chia, organic raspberries and stevia)

Hi Berry :) thanks for popping by! I rarely hve time to write in my diary at the moment but I still check minis everyday :) I am still doing c25k...I had a period of about 6 days where I didn't run so I'm paying for it now. Yesterday was my 1st day I couldn't finish. You have to get into a...

Not done it for a few days (6! eeek!) but doing it tonight, going to just pick up where I left off, im sure I wont have lost my fitness already...i hope...! Ive signed up to do a 4k run in May, should be a breeze by then!

On saturday I will be launching my new business, after months of hard work and some procrastinating! I am still running (thank gawd) - my weight is just staying the same - because im back on the sugar. Im so angry at myself (but trying to let that feeling go) Will be re-starting a sugar...

Great news, keep it up - hopefully see you back in primal soon ;)

How are you going Deezer, have you moved your diary?

Im on the last day of week 5...i had to do it twice as I like to feel super confident before I progress to the next level. Will have completed week 6 this week if I stick to my shedule! Then just gotta get my food sorted and im good to go :)

Hi Emmie Bear in mind you will probably hate it for the first week (i did!) - but when you get to week 3 you feel like you will never go back. I couldnt run for 90 seconds when i first started and now im running 20 mins straight, Doesnt sound like a lot but its getting better every week :)

Aww dont get disheartened hun - your focusing on the one negatives and forgetting the positives - youve lost inches and pounds and your increasing your fitness every week. Your heading in the right direction!

It gets easier to force yourself out of the door too dont you think? the further you run, the more addicted you get - and the weight will just melt off you!* *combined with a healthy diet of course ;)

Well ive been neglecting this diary but I am still powering on. Still doing C25K - Once I force myself outside I really love it and the weight is coming off. Ive stopped weighing as it just throws me off track and makes me annoyed! I did the 3 days of pure protein this week to get rid of my...

Well done thats brill :)

Im still going! Part way into week four. I cant belive how much I have improved. I never, ever used to be able to run for 5 mins straight, its brill. Going to treat myself to some new shock absorbing trainers next week - i feel like my ankles have no support!

Hope you feel better soon hun x

Hi All, So running is going great at the moment - just on week 4 of C25K and really can feel myself improving. I bought ministry of sound running trax 2013 after completing week 2, and bought myself a little water bottle/ipod holder for completeing week 3 - once i complete week 4 I am going...

I just start the C25K programme up then switch to music and she tells me when to run etc. I personally need music to run to! I also bought one of those belts you can wear with a water bottle and a iphone holder attached - i look a bit like a gun slinger but it will be better than holding my...

Thanks mate :) - cant wait to get to the next week!! hehe!

Anyone still doing this? Im on week 4 now and loving it (still dying by the end though) xx

I have learned the perils of weighing for numbers and not measurements - the only way to tell if you are really losing fat is to see it melt off in inches :) Keep up the great work, looking forward to hearing your measurements at the end of month!

I agree mis-behave. I think cutting it out is the way forward - just for now at least while I get on track!

Morning all. Well this weekend was a bust in terms of eating - but great in terms of excersize. I made sure I got out and ran twice this week, went for 30 mins each time (C25K) - Im really glad I did because my diet was appalling. All I ate was ice cream, Paleo was none existant. I am 100%...

wahoo fingers crossed for you darl x

Thanks for the tips - I will follow the programme and wont rush - fingers crossed. :)

Hi Guys, Just a quick Q for you all as by the looks of your posts you are seasoned runners :) Ive just started on my journey as a runner and I absolutley love it. I dont know why i didnt do it sooner! Anyway, Im just on to week 3 of couch to 5k (like i said, very early stages) - im finding...

I ran last night and I have to say - Once you start it just makes everything better. Im going again tonight (while OH cooks me a val day tea! hehe!) - im going to try and go every night this week and then have a break on monday. God, it just shows you - once you stop excersizing everything...

Ive actually had 5 days off due to the heat (its 41 here in perth - yuck!) - im getting on it again tonight just doing my first day of week 2. Hope i havnt lost my fitness. Its great when you get going but if you let it slip its hard to get back into the swing!! I felt fitter after the first...

I think im going to use it deezer...ive got an app called "mynetdiary" - which is pretty similar. I need to get myself sorted this week. Im slipping. I feel the desire to do excersize but then can seem to whack on my trainers and go for it - like i have been doing. Im also going to clean up...

I think it took her a number of months to get there - but she did it :) I havent run for 5 days now. :cry:..its just been too hot!!!!! (excuses excuses) - but its defeating the object if i run in 41 degree heat - i just cant get any speed and i feel lightheaded and sweat more than I can...

I know plenty of people that had to do week one twice. :) Just make sure you not running too fast and keep up the great work :) x

Hi all, thought i would pop on and join the challenge ;) I am currently on week 2, day 3. Should be moving on to week 3 soon. I had friends that have done this and one of them is doing a 14k run in May and has asked me to sign up. So hopefully I can get my fitness to an optimum level :) good...

your doing great hun!

So yesterday it was a scorching 42 degrees here in perth - and stormy, so very humid and horrible. I couldnt go running, just walking home from the busstop had me glistening with sweat and trust me - im not a sweater!! Plus you just dont excersize in that kind of heat, its like a rule everyone...

Let us know how the macaroons turned out?? I would love to try them if you recommend :)

Thanks for the tips guys. Had a rest over the weekend - good news - I slid on a pair of jeans that havnt fit me in years and they *almost* did up! So I said to my OH - I have 100% lost weight - Jumped on the scales and I had gained! So then I kicked the scales along the wood floor in a huff -...

I did another Bootcamp session last night and I was just utterly exhausted. My body was aching and I was just utterly tired out. OH said im pushing too hard, Ive been working out 5 times a week, which when ive previously done nothing is a lot to get used to. Im also working full time and...

You are so inspiring me to get into crossfit...im just finishing a course of bootcamp (ends 2nd of March) - then i think i might get onto it. There are groups here in Perth xx

Well done on the 3.5lb Paul! Cant wait to read your update!

PS: It does get eaiser to get yourself out there after about 3-4 times. Lay your running gear and trainers out the night before and just go go go go go go dont even think about it... lol xxx

You just gotta remember its only 20 minutes a day (5 min warmup and cool down is just walking) - 3 times a week. Thats just ONE hour a week. And, you can choose which days... I used to just keep telling myself...the times going to pass anyway...so i can either just get on with it and get it...

Hi :) I started doing it about 2 weeks ago, I am now on day 2 of week 2...Its absolutley brilliant - You can really feel your fitness improving and it DEFFO helps with the weight loss. In a nutshell: - get some music on your ipod/mp3/phone/etc - you can play music alongside couch to 5k and it...

Good for you :) Thats really great. And you have been eating healthy nutritious foods and filling your body with what it needs!! No starving yourself or crying into your ice cream at 2 in the morning...! Keep it up champ. x

So last night was bootcamp - i cant deffo feel my fitness improving which im so happy about. Still doing well and already looking forward to my weigh in on tuesday :) Think im going to have a V active weekend....

Well done!!! Cindy sounds like a b*tch! hahaha

ALSO - I just re-read an old post from a week ago - and i was actually 76.8kg. so in fact, ive lost 1.8kg. which is great. I think ive been dancing around these numbers for so long that i feel im getting nowhere, when i am...slowly :9 onwards and upwards x

Thanks Ladies x Ive been speaking to a friend today and she seems to think im eating too few calories. My BMR is over 1500 and im also excersizing so i think my body is holding on tight to anything i feed her. Im going to up my calories to 1500 the rest of the week and see how I go! Since my...

Hello all! Well its Tuesday morning here in Aus and I have the delightful Aunt Flo visiting. I weighed myself this morning and im still 75kg. ARGHHHH. Ive been calorie counting all weeek (1200-1300 a day) - and excersizing 5 times a week for 30 minutes a day (which is way more than i used to)...

u can have the odd treat on the 80-20 rule :) Although dont be suprised if you start craving suagr for the next few days, i found when i had my first bite of chocolate it was like injecting herion!! lol. keep up the good work :)

Another fab food day yesterday and did my Bootcamp. Felt a little tired but think thats due to the increased amount of excersize (and my frenzied cleaning night last night) and I didnt have time for my 3.30pm snack - so not much energy but I still had a great workout. C25K tonight and...

Wooohooo! In reality you will have lost more than 4lb of fat -your muscle tone will have increased dramatically and that weighs twice as much! Those are fabulous results hun!! Well done

Well done for not going the easy route :) I made 3 batches of different paleo soups last weekend, portioned them in sandwhich bags and froze them - been having them for the last week and still got heaps left! It really takes the guess work out of your lunch and makes it easier for me. If I...

Morning all (well, its morning here!) So Last night i did day one of C25K - I have to be honest, once I dragged myself outside to the park I really really enjoyed it. AND - I didnt feel like I was dying at the end either. In fact - I got home, made tea, watched corrie (we have it on UKTV over...

Its gorgeous roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and some sea slat and pepper!!! Mind you, isnt everything thats prepared in that way? lol.

Welcome back :)

Hmmm...sounds interesting ill give it a google tommorrow when I get into work! Right now im trying to mix it up and just try to get into the routine of doing excersize and enjoying it. I would so love to be one of those people who can just go for a 5k run without stopping. I will be one day :)

Thanks deezer! I think its just too restrictive for me personally. So, I had a great day yesterday, stuck to 1300 cals and did my bootcamp - we did a 6 minute run which the first time I did I had to stop 3 times to catch my breath....last night I only stopped once, right at the end!! Its...

I feel like im losing lbs just reading your diary!!

Your recipes look great :)

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, its one of our divine rights as a human being :) I think that sometimes people can get defensive because they dont want to face up to reality. There are emotional reasons why people binge eat - sometimes its too painful for them to face the emotional side of...

Wow, your doing excellent with your excersize. Its so great that you are using your measurements as a point of reference to weight loss - SOOO many times ive seen people get upset because the scales show a 2lb gain when they are excersizing, but its just your muscle mass increasing and water...

Arrrghghghgh!! Im really frigged off today, :mad: Ive had a brilliant weekend but I "injected" some sugar on Friday and ive just binged all weekend. I got on the scales & im now 76.8 kilos. I also had trouble sleeping every night, lethargy, and no motivation to do anything whatsoever. It...

thanx hunni x

Mine used to pop up and haunt me in the afternoon, it was like my bodys way of sulking hahah. keep it up :)

Anyway today is friday and its a long weekend here in Aus as australia day is on saturday so monday is a public holiday - dont ask me - no idea why - but im not complaining :) So tonight Im gonna swing by the supermarket and buy some tasty paleo food for the weekend. Me & my OH have been...

I LOVE LOVE supersize vs superskinny...and biggest loser...and anything else about weight loss hehe. I will admit 2 weeks without weighing is very hard - however because i only have a stone to lose and im new to excersizing, I dont lose much on the scales and it really de-motivates me when I...

Yum! I made a BNS soup on Monday, its currently in my freezer awaiting the weekend :)

hehe thanks ladies! - tonights my second time at bootcamp! Last night I ate a gorgeous meal, coconut oil & tumeric chicken drumsticks, with mushrooms & green beans. I deffo feel slimmer - I also watched the biggest loser which spurs me on! Im going to weigh myself probably on sunday morning...

Yummy, your meals look so tasty and creative - think I need to take a leaf out of your book :)

Headaches usually last about 3 days, pretty common. Just withdrawls. Keep drinking plenty of water xx

I think im gonna try crossfit - seems to go hand in hand with paleo!! keep up the great work hun :)

So did bootcamp last night - wow - will be going back on thursday but I hate excersize sooo much. Its just SO hard! As soon as ive started i want to stop, its mental. There are women 3 times my size at the group - kicking absolute BUTT - I should be ashamed of my fitness levels. Hopefully I...

Woohoo keep it up ladies.

Well done on the 1lb Paul - a pound is a pound! :)

Good luck with it :) - its hard for about the first 4 days...but then its like riding a bike downhill...x

Well done on losing a stone hun! And it looks like you have been doing it the yummy way :)

Well, today is the first day of whole30 and im feeling ok. Last night I made THREE soups (butternut squash, chicken and tomato) - then portioned & froze them fo lunches for the next 2 weeks. Im pretty sure disorganisation will be my downfall - so im not leaving anything to chance. Today Im...

Thanks CG thats somewhat reassuring - did you get to your target weight doing Paleo? Or did you switch to Paleo to maintain? Ive just planned out my meals for the next week - Im doing the Whole30. I figure im "pretty much" doing it anyway and theres no time like the present, plus Feb is a quiet...

Morning Morning. Well im a bit fed up today. I weighed myself on Saturday morning (exactley one week since my last weigh in) - and Id lost nothing. Im not primarily doing this to "lose weight" - obviously there are health benefits involved and i enjoy eating a primal diet but the fact my weight...

Hey how are you going? Still enjoying Paleo? x

Ive heard of this meatza thing...is it tasty? have you tried it b4? So, tonight we are having seasoned steak, green beans with lemon and garlic and some sweet potato fries. Im not doing so well on the old cooking front this week. I tried to make a paleo friendly berry slice = what an ordeal...

Hi Dee xx So last night I tried the creamy tumeric tea and im not that impressed...I thought I would love it since I love all the ingredients individually but for some reason it tasted...gritty and overly creamy! Tommorrow night (friday) im going to cook something really special, bot sure what...

Good afternoon all! Nothing new to report today, mid-week and im already raring for the weekend. Im really learning the absolute seriousness of pre-preparing what I eat through the day, I know some people can just open the fridge and choose what they fancy - but for me, I like to know what im...

Well done on your 2.5lb loss :)

Thanks hun x Last night I decided to make sweet potato chips for the first time ever. I rubbed them with coconut oil, chilli flakes, salt & pepper, then baked them and had them with 100g of seasoned chicken breast and some kale (which im getting sick of!) They were delicious!! And I felt...

Last night I had to run to the supermarket for some emergency supplies, and I decided I would get some ingredients for a fancy tea instead of the usual kale, carrots etc. So I grabbed a healthy recipe off my iphone and off to the shops I went. I ended up having salmon for tea, but with...

You are very hard on yourself from what ive read on your posts but its great you have recognised it. I think theres probably about 1% of people in the whole world who have decided to go on a "diet" and then never ever had a treat. We as human beings are not perfect, nobody is, its impossible...

Hi Andrea, Hope you had a nice weekend - looks like you did on thw front front :) I downloaded that app - called "podcasts" - and found her on there - just type in jillian michaels and she will pop up. Its free. Its great I listen to it when im cleaning the house, something about her makes me...

Hi Andrea, You look to be eating really well :) - I would avoid eating when your body tells you your not hungry though...but other than that - keep it up :) Also, I am thinking of doing the shread by JM - what do you think of it? I subscribe to her podcasts and think shes great but havnt tried...

Well its Sunday afternoon and ive had another wonderful weekend eating clean. We went to a friends for dinner last night but luckily it was a BBQ - I stuck to salads and meat and ate slowly and conciously and felt great. Afterwards she brought out a big trifle and glass bowls for everyone -...

Thanks Cavegirl - I agree, 80-20 rule is a great one to live by, and I dont think I will give up my honey, its just such a welcome part of my diet. Andrea - Hello, welcome to my diary :) To be honest I am still in transition mode myself really, Im just trying to eat as "clean" as I possibly can...

Hi Paul, Im sorry to hear about your wifes scare - it will most likely be nothing but I sympathise with what shes/your going through. Have you ever tried listening to hypnosis tapes to take the edge of your comfort eating? They 100% helped me stop reaching for the chocolate and they also...

Thanks Cavegirl :) Im still researching it and trying to figure out a realistic lifelong approach to eating this way. Unfortunatley being very much the 21st century girl, it will take me a couple of weeks to get completely and utterly paleo - for example - I read in the 30 day challenge you...

So I only have about a stone or so to lose, and Ive been on Minimins since 2011 - messing around with Slimming world and faddy diets which never seemed to work for longer than a fortnight. 10 months ago I moved to Australia – and naturally I started to eat healthily on my own. Now, im not one...

Hi Paul, Ive been reading your diary from the beginning and I have to say - Well done. Not just for your weight loss, but for getting back on the horse. Its so easy for people to tell themselves they are "meant" to be fat or that they "just cant" lose weight. Also, I noticed after your binge...

Hi Zoe! How are you? Glad to see you are still sticking at SW, you have done so so well! I now live in Aus, thought I would pop back on as I am slowly creeping up again and away from target! xxxx

Hi Zoe - not only are you doing amazing with your food - your adding heaps of excersize! you will be a size 8 by the time I get on the plane to Aus hahaha!! Keep up the excellent work - hope you feel better soon xxx

Hi Zo! Not been on in a while oh-so-busy at the moment but just caught up on your diary! - i also had a STS the other week - but at least it wasnt a gain - thats the main thing! Well done on excersize - you will honestly see a big difference to your weightloss - ive had a wheeky weigh in this...

Good luck for weigh in zoe, cant wait to see how you got on!

hiya zo!! just been updating myself on your diary - your doing fab! had a sts this week so gunning it ready for my next weigh in on monday! have a great time wth your dad! x

U eat sooo many superfoods/veg zoe...no wonder the weight is flying off! well done :) Cake wise...i would say if it was like a victoria sponge type thing, maybe 6 syns for a small slice? just to be on the safe side - mr kipling slices have 7.5 syns each apparently!!

:bliss::bliss::bliss: WELL DONE ZOE!!! 3LB IS FABULOUS!!! Keep it up! By august you will be a skinny mini! hehe! xxxx

Hi doll, Things are going ok. Lost 8lb so far (but thats after putting back on the 5lb i lost and losing it again!) - so moving slower than id like but at least its coming off. well done for joining a group, sometimes you just need the extra push to get you going. try getting the magazines for...

Morning all! I didnt end up having them zoe, ill have em tonight :) Last night i ended up having pinapple, strawberries and grapes for tea! :eek: made me and OH huge fruit platter but by the time i finished it i had an achey belly and no room for dinner! ooops! hehe. So today...

They are (as above) totally free! theres some ready to eat mini balls (quorn) and they are 9.5 syns so she must have got confused! :) good luck with WI!

thanks for the reply! consultant must have thought i meant mini balls! :)

Hi all. When i first started SW about 6 months ago, i was told by my consultant that quorn meatballs had as much as 9 syns in them. Ive seen on other posts that they are free? just wondering if anyone knows the actual syn value of a bag of quorn swedish meatballs!!??

apparently they are free from what i can see on other posts...but im sure my consultant said they had syns (she looked in her massive bible that all consultants have) - maybe ppl are just assuming they are free because it says "quorn products" are free in the book?! i hope they are because they...

My consultant told me they were 9 syns for the quorn swedish meatballs! ill check it though to see if its changed! Yeah had mine in for over a month now, taking mercilon to stop the bleeding but still getting cramps and bloating etc (tmi again hehe) - just not fun. going to give it another 2...

Hi zoe! I did that once too; made a huge spag bol with tomato sauce and quorn meatballs (which i thought were free) - found out they are like 9 syns per 100g or something ridiculous, and since id had the whole bag, plus my 15 syns for the day, i had totally blown myself off track by accident...

Hi zo, how do u make BNS wedges? I look at a butternu squash and panic about how to cut it!!! xxxx

Yippppeeee! 1.5 off, excellent zoe! deffo heading in the right direction! x

well done zoe keep up the good work :)

Aww sorry to hear about the car zoe. So crappy when that happens. We just sold one of our 2 as it was just too expensive to run them :( chin up, dominos will only make u feel better for about 5 mins then u will feel worse! (doesnt help that a leaflet full of dominoes deals came through my door...

keep up the fab work george! slowly but steady wins the race, your doing it the healthy way and it will all pay off in the end :) x

Well done on your 2lb loss hun! :)

Well done you! Glad your sticking to things. Im back on it now and doing well, doing my daily running too which hopefully might speed things along. We went to Crete, The 5lb was actually pretty good considering a just ate and ate and ate (all inclusive, grr! hehe) but thats what holidays are all...

Hi Fibe! Hope your ok hun. Sorry I havnt been on in a while been on my jollies, was excellent but gained back the 5lb :( So back on it today, did a run and not going to weigh myself for 2 weeks. Sorry to hear about your fella that sucks, but just think how much u could lose to suprise him when...

Hi Lozzie, welcome to SW! :) xx

Well done for resisting the cakes! hope you dont have a hangover ;) xx

2lbs is brill! Im really happy with 5lb, but for me, losing a lot in the first week is easy, ive done it millions of times, whats hard is sticking to it now and making my losses count. :) Keep it up! Ps, just read a tip from another member for a really low syn free treat, she suggested a...

Shrimpy thanks for the tip on the mikados! they will be nice with a hot choc when im feeling sorry for myself. Zoe, I feel your pain! TOTM for me too and im ravenous. Just had 2 weetabix, beans, bacon, brown sauce and still could murder a choc cake haha! but im trying to keep busy round the...

Hi Fibe, How did you go today :) xx

Ps; wat flavour cous cous do you use? and also I see your from essex! Are u one of those that hates "the only way is essex" - i love that show heheh xx

Thats what I love about it - I hate being hungryyyy! Im going to try the BNS wedges...they sound delish and OH would like them too i reckon! keep it up :)

Oooh that sounds nice, Ill deffo give it a try this weekend! :) yummmy! Im going to have a look at some recipes on sat and do some experimenting when I get back from hols; (not sure if youve seen on my diary but im going away for a week to crete on weds! - but im still doing my SW and taking...

Hi jodie, its good that ur back on it today after having (well deserved!) treats yesterday! where are the chilli sausages from? they sound v yummy! :)

Omg Jodie thats brilliant! 4lb! :wee: And like you said, you had mince etc and u were worried u wouldnt lose! How exciting is it when you discover you can eat and still lose weight? U will sure get to target, just hop back on the wagon tommorow :)

YAY! And well done for not taking an entire bottle of wine down with it :) :)

No problem - it will save u sooo many syns too! I cover my weetabix with it :) Have a great week xxx

Hi milanio! Welcome to the site! I started SW again on friday and so far everyone has been suppper nice! I think this is the missing link to staying on a diet...the support network! Good luck with SW!

Hi Fibe! :) How are you getting on? Ready for the weigh in on fri?

Heheh, im sure it wont be awful! :) Sounds delish, let us know how its goes x

Oh and in answer to ur question, not lost yet as i started Friday so i find out friday morning 9am! Eeeek! x

Yeah if its at ten I would wait until you get back for brekkie! I got out some old jeans I used to fit into but it depressed me :cry: lol! I go on ASOS/river island/topshop etc and just look at all the pretty summer dresses and imagine what i would wear them to/with - its addictive and very...

No darls - chomp away! U digest it all over night anyway - Im never bothered about the night before a weigh in...Just have a light breakfast on the morning of your weigh in (unless its late eve?what time is the weigh in 2moz?) Its really hard on your first week sometimes, because u havnt...

4lbs! Thats fab! Keep up the brilliant work. Bet Roxy loves all the extra walking :)

OoH SW chips are a deffo comfort food! (Take a while to make but oh-so worth it!) You have eaten 4 apples today - that is brill :)

Awww dont feel down jodie :( We all get those days sometimes, where u just feel crappy and want to binge eat all day. One biccie turns to two turns to four...oops diet ruined! But the best thing about SW is that its not a diet, and it caters for the days when we go off track. Whats important...

WELL DONE :)

Let us know how u got on Zoe :)

oOoOh thanks tech1960ps - ill try them midweek! Let us know how u get on Jodie, keep at it :) xx

Im weighing in on friday! (i usually have a great first weigh in!) Just found my old booklet from 2010 and i lost; w1 -6lb w2 -2lb w3 -2lb w4 - gained 3lb as had a binge week - and never got back on track! i dont know why, i could be at target now grrr! Whens ur weigh in hon? xx

I get that, its soo frustrating! Try grapes or some other fruit thats high in sugar! if thats not hitting the spot - have a little bit of what u fancy, use flexi syns and get back on track in the morning. :) ahhh what we women have to go through xx

Enjoyed reading your diary kerry! U eat a lot of fruit and veg which is great! Keep up the good work. xx

Oh ps, A few ladies on here have been disheartened by not losing much in the first week, however I think it totally depends what diet you were on before u started SW. I lost 12lb on atkins and on my first week at sw i gained 8lb!! - was soo upset but kept on it - and following week lost...

Hi Jodie! I started SW few days ago but Ive done it before and love it. Dont ever feel like your eating too much, the free foods are there to be eaten! Make sure u have lots of fruit and veg though with your meals. I thought slimming world wouldnt work for me as i dont have heaps o lose or...

Ooh just seen!! 3lb! fantastic!! well done !! :)

How did u go at your weigh in bubbles? :) xxxx

Well done for sticking with it! Crispy Slimming world chips....(bear in mind they wont be as good as if you did them in real oil but hey for a free alternative they are pretty darn good!) -I par boil for 5-7 mins, then drain and pat the chips dry with kitchen towel (v important). - empty...

Ive been reading your diary and wow!! I shall regularly follow it now...keep up the fantastic work, and well done for getting back on the horse :) xxx

Can I ask, what were you doing before you started SW? (ie, eating normally, very low cal, binging, etc?) And are you doing more excersize than usual? Dont give up yet! U dont know where you stand until you step on the official scales....!

Hi Cathie, Ive been enjoying reading your diary! Thought I would say Hi. Keep up the good work :) x

Im sure u will have a great loss this week. Sometimes it takes our bodies a while to get used to a knew way of eating...! Keep up the good work. x

Hehe that sounds lovley!! Let me kno how it goes :) I dont much like sweetner either, but Splenda is the best one I can find - tastes the most like sugar, they call it a "sugar alternative" as opposed to a sweetener. i have it on my weetabix its that similar! Stick at it! :) Whens your weigh...

Oooh Ill deffo try that! (be aware it looks brown when you blend it but its really very tasty!) heheh! Yeah I like quorn Im going to integrate much more of it in my diet now, last time I did SW I had the quorn meatballs, and then found out they were 9 syns!! But I know the mince, sausages etc...

Hi Julie, Congrats on starting with SW, I do it too and im really enjoying it so far. Im no expert..but if I had to determine what might be slowing your weight loss I would have to say the sugar. 6 lots of sugar is definatley more than 3 syns. Have u tried Splenda? Its a sugar alternative...

Good Luck Lemony! Ill be reading your progress :)

Oooh that sounds yummy...was it? What do you think of Quorn products? I like them but some of them are deceptively synfull! Tonight for tea I had salmon and veg.. (obv not appealing for you as a veggie!) Found a recipe for a soup from another member on here, so I gave that a try today for...

Im also doing it at home this time. Got all the new books etc the last time I joined so Im just doing it on my own! Get all the support from image therapy on here ad it saves me £5 a week! I think it will work just as well. Ooh yay that sounds great, would love to have a buddy for the weigh...

Well done so far! Im in the same boat, loved being a size 10, moved in with bf, and suddenly im a size 14! Eeeek! Anyway keep at it :)

I went on atkins last year (whyohwhy did i do that to myself!) - and lost over 10lb. Then I decided to take a healthier route and join SW for the first time. In my first week I ate what I thought was V healthy, and put on 8lb. I was devestated. But I stuck with it and the week after, lost 6lb...

Hey! Im exactley the same...always used to be a 10, then one day, moved in with my bf, woke up a 14! Moving to Oz in August and want to be back to a 10! Starting 100 percent tommorow! We can do this :)
