    I have read through some of the roasted chickpea threads to work out whether using roasted chickpeas as a snack is a syn or not - the general agreement is that they should be synned. erm - how do I work out the syns in them then? Thanks

    OK - 4 weeks since my last post and in that time I have not lost a thing. Nada. Nothing. I know why - it's because I am not sticking, not counting my syns and being too relaxed. On the positive side, I have not put any one, which is kinda reassuring that I can maintain, but I want to be losing...

    Well - end of day 4 (restart number 55ish) and I am already feeling better in myself, so I think I might be in ketosis. For some reason, once into the diet for a few days, and I assume it has something to do with the lack of bloated 'full' feeling, I just feel more alert, healthy, happier in...

    What kind of diet do you want to do? I think it depends on what works best for you. I identified when I started that diets where I have to count calories would not work for me - I would stop counting or cheat myself. I can't do things where I can eat this or that only - I would cheat. The only...

    46 days to go and

    30 days to go - and the same 7 pounds to lose. Argh - completely lost the will now. Overall I have lost over 3 stone, so I am happy. 7 pounds wouldn't make too much difference, and I have had my dress fitting so don't want to change shape too much. But - 7 pounds! Argh - get off!

    We've got 10% to go - team challenge

    HI Yes - I need to join in here please. I am, as you say, dancing along the top of my wall and definitely fanning about. It seems that a lot of my commitment has gone, now I am in view of the target. The problem I do have is that I have just had my wedding dress fitting, and can't afford to...

    We have asked for Honeymoon contributions or John Lewis vouchers I think - tbh we are not really asking for anything as we have lived together that long. The cooker would have been a good idea! Tch.

    Deflating the Bouncy Castle

    Morning Spangles. Did I read somewhere La Senza is going bust? Might have to have a look and see if there is any more bargains to be had myself. My OH told me my underwear was functional, not exciting. Not that I think its practical/comfortable to walk about in exciting all day every day, but...

    Ooh - a new red kettle. That will be nice. I like bright cheerful kitchens. I went to see a hairdresser on saturday and spent the 1st 20 minutes talking about her new cooker - I really want a new cooker. I am looking at a double over, but the only one I can find that fits in under a counter...

    Well my mum has left, the house is silent as the kids are both at school/nursery, I can finally think. I am possibly the only person who likes mondays! But, now I am thinking about it and getting more annoyed about my rings. I might drive over last in the week to check on hows it going. I need...

    Deflating the Bouncy Castle

    I have found now I am back on food that I miss the empty feeling I had from SS - I wasn't hungry, but I felt healthy and thin. NOw I am putting food in I quickly feel full and that makes me feel heavy and bloated, in fact I keep looking in the mirror and checking my jeans are still fitting as I...

    Well - its been a long weekend. We went to get our rings, we were having them specially made after seeing a design on the website of the jewellers which was close to what we had envisioned. But when we saw them, they were just so wrong - nothing like the picture and not what we wanted. OH was...

    Good to make a profit on Ebay - the £9 will help pay the extortiante fees they will charge you for selling it! And Paypal! I used to sell loads on Ebay, but the seller fees, paypal fees, postage costs etc just made it so pointless. Whats your dress like anyway - what are you looking for?

    I know, the wedding is the important bit, the rest is just frippery. I have thought about the photo booth idea and decided it just isn't necessary - we have plenty of photographers hanging about in the family, ill have pics of everyone. So - relax. No need to plan anymore. :) WOuld love to...

    Well we have been out today and got ivory ribbon and some ivory and purple flowers to decorate the black shoes, so they look like possibilities. Also finally had a mail to say the Dorothys are on their way - so this is it. One way or another I will have shoes by next week! So - went to town...

    WHAT is MI5 spy missions - that sounds like a birthday party I would like to have, never mind the kids! Also curious to know what they would sell in an American grocery store that is different to Tesco? I bet its loads of fun stuff, don't know why but American food always sounds more fun.

    Milk and yoghurt? I assume she can eat as much of it as she wants - how long is she on that for? Hope it all goes well for her though, and she finds the confidence she wants from it

    That's awful, stupid bloody woman. She needs a bloody good shock of what could happen. My in laws were the same but luckily SIL went through all this first and has trained them in this. Makes up fr the other crap I get I guess.

    My mum cried the first time she saw it, not today. I love the 1st shoes but they as black . . . Under an ivory dress? DD is very pleased with her dress. Lots of prancing up and down in her feather shrug. Also, still pondering the music but I think we will be walking out at the end to the ...

    Oh I know what you mean about bread! I have had a couple of slices over 2 days and I feel so full. Almost cried at the scales the other night. But - I have had one dress fitting, have another in 2 weeks and I cannot afford now to put any weight ON - so I am going to be extra strict now! So -...

    Oh god that sounds awful - so sorry it was so bad. We went to see it about - probably 8 years ago now - and it was excellent. It must have really gone downhill since. I can't believe the audience were boo'ing - it must have been really poor acting. Hows things going now anyway? What else is...

    Oh darn, I think I missed your birthday. I am so sorry - Happy Birthday. I am so sorry about your low weight loss at last weigh in - I know that you really need these losses, but is there any way that if you take a chart of your losses and show the GP or clinic, you can explain that after...

    Right - shoes. So - the final choice, because I have had enough looking - is between these . . . Irregular Choice | Womens | Poetic Licence | Poetic Licence Sweet Ending But - I would have to change the ribbon to ivory/lilac and put maybe a lilac/ivory flower clip on them, but then they did...
