Great day out with the kids at the safari park and stuck to plan. A bit more nervous about how I'm going to manage when we go away later in the week, but to be honest it will only be 3 days and I will just have to do what I can ... Today's food :- Breakfast - fruit & mullerlight vanilla...

Thank you all for the replies. Yes that does make it clearer thank you. I think I'm just going to go with treating the fruit & veg listed as superfree & treat the other things as just free. Thanks for clarifying things for me :-) Rebecca

I have been told at my group (by my consultant and another member) that anything that is free on both red and green days is superfree (like ff natural yoghurt, for example), however looking in the book that I have been given, I read it that it is only the listed vegetables and fruits that are...

Ahh thank you Jules :-) Had another good day today. Walked the doggies for 2.7 miles, so now on 5.5 out of my 100 I've set myself. Food today as follows :- Breakfast - fruit & mullerlight yoghurt Lunch - a mixture of leftovers from yesterday's bbq, all free except for 1 syn in the cous...

Hi Joanna Are you back on plan today? Sounds like things went a bit awry yesterday, although with all your zumbaing (is that a word???!) I'm sure you're doing just fine. We're all going to have 'good' & 'bad' moments, let's face it! Enjoy your weekend Rebecca x

Well done to all who have had losses so far :-)

Walked 2.7 miles today with the dogs :-) Like having this goal to work to! How's it going for everyone else? Chocoholiccat 10 miles (90 miles to go) Loosemyageinweight 7.3 miles (92.7 miles to go) Hoping 11 miles (89 miles to go) chloecat (100 miles to go) Rebecca 5.5 miles (94.5 to go)

Middle DD's 10th birthday today, and I'm patting myself on the back. I made her a lovely chocolate birthday cake (one of those huge cup cake ones) and made hummingbird bakery recipe vanilla frosting to decorate it in two colours and I didn't eat a single bit, not even a little lick of the...

Hi Try not to be too negative about it. I hope you're managing to carry on & stay on plan. You'll probably find the loss will show next week instead if you stick with it. If you use it as an excuse to fall of the wagon completely it could all go horribly wrong! I STS this week too but am...

Hi Would it be ok if I joined in too? I'm not training for a big walk or anything but I really need to up my exercise & I'd like to give myself a bit of a challenge to try & do it. I've done 2.8 miles today so will count that towards it if that's ok! Rebecca

Ahh bless she's very cute. Hope she's a good girl :-) Stayed on plan fine all day. Breakfast = fruit, ml yog & 28g porridge oats (5 syns) Snack = Banana Lunch = pasta, mushrooms, bacon, mixed salad, 5x light laughing cow triangles (HEa), 2 x HiFi butterscotch bars (HEb) Dinner= Thai rice...

Just to let you know I STS this week :-( Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

What a brilliant idea! Will be nicking that one myself :-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Jules Yes I've stopped feeling sorry for myself - a STS isn't exactly the end of the world, is it?! Your pup sounds lovely. They are so fun when they're little. We have 2 dogs at the mo. We puppy walk for guide dogs, so we currently have an 11 month old golden retriever x lab. She's...

Hi Joanna What about spag bol? I know it's mince again, but it would be SW friendly. Just a thought :-) Rebecca x

Stayed on plan this morning despite my little blip on the scales, so I'm pleased that I'm still motivated. Food today :- Breakfast - raspberries, banana, blueberries & ML Yoghurt Snack : 2 x butterscotch hifi bars (HEb) Lunch - Cous Cous salad - wholegrain giant cous cous, chopped tomato...

Hi Laura Thanks for the encouragement don't worry I've got no plans to give up I'm sure it's just a blip. I feel that I've fed myself & my family more consistently healthily in the past 2 weeks on SW than I have for ages & really feel it's a plan that will benefit all our health, not just my...

Thanks Jules I appreciate the reply. Just feel a bit pants about it really, but there you go! Anyway just had a good on plan lunch & no syns used so far today, so can treat myself to a glass of wine later on once I'm back from ferrying the kids to & from drama classes. Thanks again for the...

Thanks for all the advice, particularly that last bit. It makes a lot of sense & like you say, going away doesn't exactly happen all the time. I appreciate all the support from everyone, thank you. Rebecca

List updated to show a STS for me this week :(. Not happy as I haven't gone off plan but there you go. Good luck to everyone else x

STS this week - bit gutted as I really have stuck to it & not gone over syns, but there you go. Well done to those who have lost

Week 2 - bit fed up Ok more than a bit. My gut feeling was right & I have STS. I know I lost 5lb last week & I know I'm due on, so my pesky hormones have a lot to answer for, but it doesn't stop me feeling a bit cheated. After all, I'm only on week 2 & I did hope for at least a little loss...

Thank you Jules. Just off now to get it over with - will post an update in a bit. Hope you're having a good day x

Don't you dare stop posting! If it helps keep you on the straight & narrow, keep posting! And I enjoy reading your diary ;-) I know what you mean about the weighing. I weighed myself on Sunday then felt gutted cos I didn't seem to have lost anything at all and I have stuck to plan 100%...

Hi Thank you, and good luck with your own weight loss journey. Haven't heard of Sacred Heart - what's that one all about? Rebecca

Thanks for the nandos tip :-) Never really eaten there so might have to give it a go! And I know what you mean about the booze, but I won't be having that much anyway as with the kids, so should stay on the straight & narrow there! Rebecca

Well done Loopy-Loo that's a great loss, esp if you've been unwell. Hope you're feeling better now. And commiserations Yo-Yo. I'm sure a gain is horrible. Like Loopy Loo said, was there anything you could put it down to? Sure it will come back off if you stick with it. I'm nervous about my...

Thanks for the tips :-) Will be doing my best to stay on plan but want to enjoy myself too so as long as I get back on it 100% when I get home, I won't beat myself up :-) Thanks again Rebecca

Continuation of food today:- Snacked on a packet of Tesco HL salt & pepper pretzels for 4.5 syns. For tea I had pasta, 2 x low fat laughing cow triangles (3 syns), bacon, a big mixed salad & a muller rhubarb yoghurt. Not exactly awe inspring but it filled a gap! Syns for today : 9 Nervous...

That suits me as I'm away next week for 3 days with the hubby & kids in London so having a holiday week. I'm going to try to keep to it as far as possible but need to be a bit realistic! Good luck to everyone on the challenge! Will be great to see how much we loose between us :-) Rebecca

oops ... meant 1/3 superfree but you know what I mean!

Yummy :-) Just had a fantastic lunch Pizza toasts - 2 x slices of wholemeal bread (HEb), toasted, topped with a mixture made from 42g 1/2 fat cheddar (HEa), chopped tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, herbs & aromat seasoning & grilled until warm & the cheese was bubbly. Pudding is a big slice of...

Hi Charmel Sounds like we have a similar target for weight loss. Good luck & stay in touch I'm sure we'll all be needing support throughout the journey :-) Rebecca

Hi all Could you add me too please? I'd like to loose 7lb by end of June. Not been involved in a challenge before - looking forward to it though. Rebecca Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done on your loss this week 5lb off is fantastic :-)))) & well done sticking to plan as it sounds like it's been a tough week for you. Rebecca Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Charmel Thanks for the reply. Good luck on your weight loss journey with SW. How much are you looking to loose? Rebecca

Really useful thread - thank you :-) Will have to treat myself to a takeaway soon - had it in my mind I wouldn't be able to have a chinese for ages, thanks for proving me wrong

Wow just had a look at that site & bookmarked it for future reference :-)

Hi Jules Thanks for the welcome :). Good luck with your own weight loss journey sounds like you've done well with LL but like you say, it doesn't do wonders for your social life! Hope SW works out for you. Rebecca

Hi I'm trying to get a bit organised here & get my head round how I'm going to cope with this & try to stay on plan. My husband & I are taking our daughters away to London for a few days at the end of the month. We are staying in a hotel for two nights & will be out & about in London during...

I've had a good day sticking to plan & have had the following (supper still to come but I know what I'm having). *Breakfast* strawberries, blueberries, banana & FF Fromage Frais *Snack* raspberries *Lunch* gammon steak, SW chips, 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce (1.5 Syns) Carrots, grapes...

Hi Thanks. I'll be disappointed if I don't loose but will stick with it as I'm sure this will be the cause. Don't fancy up to 5lb on though!!! Eeek :-( Congratulations on the pregnancy by the way. Is it your first? Rebecca

Hi Just wanted to say thank you - that's a really interesting resource. Thanks for sharing it Rebecca

Hi Good luck on your weight loss journey. Hope WW works out for you. I did cambridge last year too & it worked but it all went back on - it didn't help me not to repeat my past mistakes, where I think (hope!) for me SW will do this.

Ha-ha! You & me both. Exercise is my biggest failing. Going to try & work through the body magic awards to see if I can break the habit of a lifetime, but I have to be honest & say I have always hated exercise, even PE at school. I can never seem to get motivated to do it. Perhaps we'll...

Hi Joanna How funny - I've just commented on your diary thread! Good luck with the restart I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine this time around :-) Rebecca

Hi I weigh in on a Tuesday morning group. Dreading my next one though as I don't feel like I've lost anything this week :-( But I have stuck to it so here's hoping. Thanks for the reply :-) Rebecca

Hi Maximus I've got no experience of this but will be interested to follow this thread as it is something I have been wondering about for when I get to target (and manage to maintain) as my tummy will never be the same again after three pregnancies & goodness knows how many ups & downs on the...

Hello I weigh in on a Tuesday but I have been a bit silly today & got on the scales at home (I know, I know, I shouldn't have!) and it doesn't seem like I have had any sort of loss at all this week so far. I'm a bit gutted as I'm only on my second week. I lost 5lb last week and have stuck to...

Hi I've just been reading though your diary. Well done on the 2lb loss this week. Take it as a positive. Congratulations for getting back on the horse. And I so agree with your comment above - doesn't it just!!! Rebecca

Hi I've just started my diary off too so I thought I'd respond to yours! I don't feel able to offer too much advice as I've only been doing this about 10 days, but it sounds like you've already identified your need to drink more, which might help keep you fuller. I'm sure you've thought of...

Hi I'm Rebecca and I'm fairly new to the site & to SW. I wanted to keep my diary on here to try and keep me motivated. I am a SAHM with 3 lovely girls, all school age. My eldest is now at High School and I really want to set a good example to her on eating & exercise, and not leave her &...

First week loss Hi I'm a newbie here so hope it's ok to post my loss here. Weighed in at group for the first time yesterday & had lost 5lb in the first week. Really pleased & fired up for another good week this week :flirt2:

Hello Hi I've just started SW too & we have similar amounts to loose. Good luck with your weight loss journey. Hope it's going well so far (appears to be on your ticker!) Rebecca

Hello Thought I'd introduce myself as a newbie on here. Started doing SW last week and lost a big 5lb at my first WI so really happy with how it's going. I am a repeat offender on the weight loss front. Done Weightwatchers more times than I care to mention and last year did Cambridge...
