Hey Wobblytum, don't worry am sure it will be off once you are back on track :) Life is for living - hope you had a good night Friday!

:D Hi all and well done too! Back to SW after a looonnngg break - happy weigh in today - 3lbs off

Thanks guys, think I might have just been reading through it all too fast ha ha. Am relieved as have had two this morning :)

Hi Sorry to sound really dense here but I have done SW on and off for a few years, finally rejoined again online today to try and give myself some structure but am having issues with the healthy extras! I seem to remember that I used to have two Weetabix and skimmed milk - but now can't find...

Hi all, hope all is well? I had a STS this week which although disappointing is ok considering my fall (spectacular as it was) from grace and metamorphisis into a greedy fat pig the other day. Onwards and downwards now hopefully x

Jeezzzz, had a bad day today, ate loads!! Not even pre-menstrual or any excuse to be had, just a pig. Don't cope well when not at work, and been off all this week, hope I haven't blown it too much but accept theres' nothing I can do now except start again. So here goes, back on the...

Just nice of you both to say nice things about nurses - at the moment if you believed all you read and heard us nurses are generally quite evil, treat patients badly and sit on our bums chatting all day. I don't actually work on the wards anymore but I do see daily how busy they are and how...

Heyyyyy, I do like you two :giggle:

Sounds crap hun, sorry you are having a tough time. I work in the NHS and it winds me up no end so I do sort of understand, but am also sort of hoping that you don't hate nurses too..........lol X

Its a bit debatable I find on here re: the "true" syn value tbh - prob best to search yourself and review the threads and see what you think! Personally I count it as 4 syns, as it states per 100g of finished sauce = 77cals. I was really sad and weighed out the 170ml of water that I use for...

Love this thread!!! Thanks guys x

Your leader sounds like a pig. Just my opinion. Prove her wrong, and if she still seems unsupportive (let's say she was having a bad day, to be kind) check out other groups nearby, they may well have a different leader. Good luck. I think, as has been said previously, that the main thing is...

I love Chinese curry and discovered that syn free chicken/prawn egg fried rice + slimming world syn free chips are fab with Mayflower powdered curry sauce which has a fairly low syn value! I get mine from Farmfoods @99p a box, lasts me a good while too.

Hi Zoe, well done on the 1lb off and hope your mum-in-law doing ok, take care hun x x x

Hey up Zoe - where are you????!!! Hope you are okay hun, not like you to check in by now - hope you are not still on the champers :D ??! Well, my tight week has resulted in a 2lb loss which I am well chuffed about. Plus I did eat a few haribo sweets more than I accounted for on bonfire night...

And so is champagne........!!! Gotta enjoy special days Zoe, we don't get too many each year!

Hi Zoe, I don't blame you for not changing your stats on the left..........you'll only have to change it again next week to reflect the loss you are sooooo gonna have! I have every faith in you, you will be so determined that you will have an excellent week now. P x

Going to work now but hope you had a good night/result last night Zoe? Does seem a bit sad sometimes writing each days' meal down, takes away any spontaneity but it bloody works for me, SW shep pie done & ready for tonight when I get in, know for a fact that I really wouldn't be arsed to cook...

Ooooh I keep forgetting to say that you look very sexy in your new pic Zoe, liking it lots mrs x x x

Thanks ladies, will give it a shot then :xmascheers: Christmas here I come lol! Agree with Ali though about Mondays - I am strangely feeling crap tonight and it's work tomorrow; must be an allergy! Well, have set a plan for the weeks' meals, and written everything down, husband hiding kids'...

Hiya ladies, Just realised that 7 weeks to Christmas week sooooooo decided to set myself a little target type of thing, here goes; Monkeymadnesstarget = = = lose 13lbs by sticking like glue to SW and hit 11 stones by Christmas. What do you think? Too much, too little? Feel like if I post it...

Life is so stressful most of the time hun eh? Are you on a school holiday too where you are? We all work far too much, worry too much and give ourselves such a hard time I think - but I know all of this yet still get stressed out to the max, so I am not the best to advise you! Just make sure...

Hey don't be getting all crappy at SW like me - we can't have 2 of us ffs!!!!!! Joking, your loss is still going strong so keep it up Zoe you are doing so well. I am struggling but trying hard to resist as usual, have re-read almost all this super thread and it has got me fired up again so thank...

:) Wow Zoe, 3 stones, you are totally amazing, well done you! Inspiring honestly, and soooo helpful to us "off the wagonners" and I really do mean that. What an achievement, be very very proud mrs! Am lurking around as said I would - in spirit if not body lol. Body incidentally still ok, have...

Wow Zoe, way to go on reaching your (mini) target, am so pleased for you!! What a star!! I apologise for the lack of support / posting this last couple of weeks but I have some things going on which are making this hard for me at the moment. Tough to explain but I am here in spirit if not in...

I agree with Ali; that sort of feedback is very poor as is soooo negative, and also agree that probably the consultant wouldn't want for a second to have that effect on you (and possibly rest of the group). Just think it was a bit misguided if that's the right term; a loss is a loss, and cements...

All sounding good Zoe, oh, and just love Shrimpy's comment re the "hot pants" ha ha - although we won't be laughing when they burn off the fat eh?!! Way to go girl. Well I stayed the same this week, and am late checking in because been a big busy old weekend, hubby had a pre-40th party where I...

Hello again to you too Madmum and wowser to you too on a fab loss this week!!! Keep checking in and reading like me, seriously keeps me inspired (I know sounds cheesy but it is really true lol!!!!) X

Once again, wow wow wow Zoe, that is just ace, well done you! You must feel so chuffed and so you should x You are doing amazingly well plus your commitment to plan is awesome, what a star :happy096:

Hiya ladies, hope you are all well this weekend? Am soooo loving this thread and all the chat - but especially it is so encouraging to read Shrimpy and know that the weight loss IS possible, now Zoe too, thanks girls x Well, strange week for me for lots of reasons that I won't bore you with...

Wow wow wow wow and more wow!!!! Soooooooo chuffed for you Zoe, well done you x x x x x x x x

Well, it's great to get back and read that Zoe is still up there with the super fab weight loss yet again!!!! Way to go hun, the monkey is very impressed as always, good luck for today will check in later to see how it went. I tried hard on hols, even paid 50cents to get weighed halfway...

Yeah, but we will all be back........so no slacking Mrs Zoe!!!!! :character00115: See you soon x

Hi all, just a quick hello before I go off on my weeks holiday - so, weigh in today showed a loss of 1lb, so I am off feeling good! Wanted more but to be honest I know I took my foot off the gas a bit this week, mainly because I didn't write it all down (thought I was clever!), so overall I am...

Well done you on reaching that 2 stone! That is what is impressive overall, not the small but steady amounts eh? You mustn't get disheartened, just remind yourself that you have lost 2 stones in a relatively short space of time, that is one major achievement, with more to come too x

Hiya hun, how you doing? Logged on expecting to see an update from last night, hope all ok x x x

Hello ladies, hope everyone is well? Wish I had your enthusiasm for cleaning Zoe - my house looks like a tip at the minute, been at work far too much this week so have got nothing done! Bit disappointed on this weeks weigh in because I stayed the same; but in fairness it is "star week" ahem...

See, that's why a years' supply of bns would be also a very very good prize............save you a fortune :giggle:

A pen???!! A PEN!!!!???? Not sure about that as a prize - what about a years supply of Czech beer, or bns or similar?

All good here Zoe, but sort of sticking to your thread (or is it hijacked your thread???!!) instead lol!!! That ok??!! X See you there:character00182:

Wowzer again.......a pound down is a pound down hun; sorry you didn't get the 2lbs that you wanted though, but only a week to wait and you will get that 2 stone AND MORE is my prediction....!!!!!! Btw, can I vote for your inhouse woman thingy, you are very inspirational to us lot here! If I...

Zoe, I keep forgetting to ask you about your czech beer - where do you get it from etc? It sounds fab at 1 syn, imagine it isn't quite a pint of cool Peroni but if it tastes like beer then I would like to give it a try! Just discovered mini-milks on offer in Tesco at only 1.5 syns each. They...

Wowzer ---- 2lbs off for me, waheyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Alley1985 30lbs (7.5 lost ~ 22.5lbs to go) Amy2249 28lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 27lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Baby-belle (2.5lbs lost ~ 7.5lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (2lbs lost ~ 29lbs to go) Bobsledwheels 32lbs*...

Hope that headache has buggered off by the time you read this; bet the exercise is calling you, are you in withdrawal lol???!!! well, I had a late weigh in today as did a 6 mile charity midnight walk, so not been up long. Amazed but have lost 2lbs (amazed because it is midday too!!!!). Well...

:party0036:Btw, just realised that only 3.5 syns today so going to pour myself a treat sized glass of wine tonight after a busy day at work, cheers everyone x

Hi all, Sounds like you are really giving the exercise some Zoe, you go girl! I am having a really good week, mainly because I am working, don't know about anyone else here but I do manage sooooo much better when I am working?!! All because I am either too busy to eat / think about eating...

:party0011:Wow wow wow wow - 3.5lbs! That is ace, well done you! Obviously all that exercise and determination has paid off, am sooooo pleased for you! Bet you are on cloud 9 today hun, you bloody should be!!!!!!!! :bunnydance:

:party0038: Waheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, can't actually believe I am typing this but I have lost 1lb!!!! Finally, finally, finally got under that 12st, even if it is only 11.13! Today I am officially 1 stone lighter than when I hit 40 in May (wow, why didn't I do this earlier?!!!) One very happy...

Thanks guys, will let you know tomorrow lol! Am off to bed to avoid temptation, couldn't last until now to eat tho Shrimpy - would have collapsed by now , enjoy :eating:

Hi Karen, sorry to hear that you have had some tough times sticking to plan hun, it's not easy is it? I have been away for a few days and managed well up until the last day when I really fell off the wagon and stopped counting etc. Think I relaxed too much and got into holiday mode which is...

Well, been away for 4 days and started off brilliantly on the resistance front but on the last day well and truly fell from grace with a bang. Stopped counting the synnage because I was too scared!!! Anyway, today, back home and back on again - no syns at all so you never know! Weigh in tomorrow...

Thanks, I guess u r right, may try and resist though tbh, am really keen to get under that 12st mark!

Hi all, am having a nice day at the seaside / cricket and as we brought a picnic so far so good. However, hubby just announced that he would like fish n chips as we are by the sea.....need some syn advice please as I didn't bring my book! Could - go for fish only or is that still high synnage...

Zoe you do make me smile soooooo very much, I just love reading your posts, this tells us all how bloody important this is for you. Thats why it will be off next week x x x x x

Oh that is such a bummer for you but more so because you have stuck to it even on your birthday! But half a pound is just that, and as Shrimpy says it will be off, plus more, this time next week, you just wait and see. Don't go to bed angry, just even more (if this is even possible) determined...

Karen, hope you are doing okay? I have lost 1lb this week, very slowly coming off, and cant seem to get under that bloody 12st but at least it is off and not on for a change. Going to be really strict and also exercise because want to lose another 7lbs before hols in 4 weeks. Am detemined not to...

1lb off for me, hope I have updated right!!!

Hi all, glad you had a good birthday Zoe and well done on the controlled approach as well, very impressive. Well my weigh in today shows a loss of 1lb, which is good because its a loss but poor because I have stuck like glue this week but hey ho, a loss is a loss etc etc. Think I am a bit...

:birthday: Zoe, have a fab day hun x x x :talk017:

You are doing so well Zoe, sounds cheesy but you really encourage others (well, me for definate!) to keep at it too. I know that you will have a fab birthday, and don't feel bad if you DO sneak a little treat in, but knowing your commitment it would only be a sniff of cake rather than a bite...

Hi all, got a 6 pack of these the other day because each packet is 75 calories, I figured that each bag comes in at 4 syns each. Anyway from searching the threads on here I note that they are coming up at 6 syns a bag. Any advice or answers on which one it is? Cheers in advance, P x

Hiya losers lol, well done everyone!!! I am staying the same this week which is okay because I did have a bit of a bad week.......anyway, onwards and upwards (well, downwards on the scales that is) P x

:happy096: Well done again Zoe, that is ace yet again! You go girl! Think your hubby is right there though, best keep your head down next week for fear of reprisals lol:8855:

Hiya Karen, how the hell are you, ok I hope??!! I have STS this week but been ill and on antibiotics so tbh expected worse, am ok with that. Can't be bothered anyway because I feel crap, couple of days and I will hopefully be back up there on plan again! Talk soon x

Hiya Zoe, why oh why do we get on those scales eh? Only serves to stress us out and we get all arsey and snappy because we fear the worst. Shrimpy is so right, it usually does mean nothing in the overall scheme of things, sit tight and wait for monday, just carry on being as good as you are and...

:woohoo:Fantastic loss Zoe, well done with bells on!!!!!

I've just had a lovely limited edition elderberry summer berry mullerlight - got it yesterday in sainsburys', I thought they were part of the "new" ones?

3lbs off for me, woooohooooooozer Alley1985 30lbs (5.5 lost ~ 24.5lbs to go) Amy2249 28lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 27lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Baby-belle (0lbs lost ~ 10lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (2lbs lost ~ 29lbs to go) Bobsledwheels 32lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 32lbs to...

Hiya Zoe, sorry you are not feeling too good, hope you feel better soon and back up and raring to exercise like a woman possessed. Loads of bugs about at the mo where we are, but saying that you are in Belfast and I am East Yorkshire so my theory may not be any good.........guess that's why you...

Bikini???? No way Jose, or whatever that Italian bloke is called ( am off to Venice ;-)) not in a million years lol!!!!!

Hey you two sport billys!!!! Get you two with your workouts, you go girlies, am very impressed. I have had an ace week, sometimes putting weight on does you good eh because it spurs you on doesn't it? Its exactly six weeks (sunday)to my holiday and so have decided to shift my weigh in day...

Me too, lazy so stick to EE, although don't eat much meat at all so probably could go green....... Karen we are both back in the zone this week, lets make sure we lose because I will just give up, in a sort of stroppy, dramatic, and pathetic way if I don't lol!!

Bad week for me too, 1lb on, but back on the wagon and starting afresh lol Amy2249 28lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 28lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 30lbs to go) Bobsledwheels 32lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 32lbs to go) caldil 42lbs* (8lbs lost ~ 34lbs to go)...

Brilliant Zoe, well done you, told ya so lolololol X:party0049:

Good luck for tonight Zoe, and well done with the 30DS, am very impressed with you and Shrimpy it sounds very hard, will stick to the nice lady on the wii zumba for now! As expected this week, a gain of 1lb, but I am not being maudlin, just starting afresh and am not letting this git beat me...

Hiya Karen, how are you hun? As expected, I have put on 1lb today ;-(((( Hey ho, back on the wagon again, has made me more determined to lose it again this week. Hope you have better results than me X

Oooooh, had a really crappy day today, pigged out central here. No excuse but my hubby has really wound me up and because of my stroppiness I have turned to eating rubbish. have to see it as a blip and start afresh tomorrow, but not much hope for the already doomed weigh-in lol! Bring on next...

Hi Karen, how are you doing? I am a bit crap tbh this week, have been stupid and got on scales mid-week and it showed a gain so have got bit grumpy and fed up lol. Am still trying hard to stick to plan tho, what will be will be I guess. Any good ideas for what to cook for tea please? Am so...

Good luck with finding something that distracts you from home made pizza - it will have to be bloody good lol!!! I love love love Jamie Olivers home made pizzas!!! I have done that really bad thing of getting on the scales mid-week to find that I have put a pound on ;-(((( Wish I had the...

Thanks for that, I am a bit odd really because I never do the red/green thing, just stick to EE!!!! No reason why I can't swop and change though is there? Lol

I don't tolerate diary too well and so have never bothered much with milk or cheese in the past, neither do I drink tea or coffee. However, I am concious that I do not have a hex A choice option most days, and am wondering if you could "save" up and say have 2 x hex A of cheese instead all in...

Go for it girl! Not too sure about the 24/7 exercising though...........lol. Going for a little run myself today, reduced my hours to working 3 days a week instead of 4 so no excuses not to eh?!! X

That's a good result Zoe, well done, considering the tough week you have had. Plus, as you said, it inspires you to a new goal for the next couple of weeks doesn't it? I equally have every faith in you losing in the next few weeks - come on, you are my inspiration here and I know that sts...

Morning all, hope we are all well today? I didn't put the right stats in as last week when I "joined up" to this super santa plan that I had already lost 3lbs last monday, another 3lbs off today too woo hoooo!! Have updated myself (hope thats the correct way to do it?) with a 6lb loss -------...

Thanks for the advice ladies, very much appreciated. Got the wii zumba and am rubbish at it but really do like it! Won't join your gang but thanks for the offer Joanna - don't think I could keep up with you all lol! X

Hey Zoe, good morning hope you are well today? Lost 3lbs again this week and am well chuffed this morning, really didn't expect that tbh. Fingers crossed for you later hun, am working late as son off school today (those teachers - taking another day off because of a wedding or...

Woooooo Karen, well done you, typing at the same time lol!!! Brilliant, am well chuffed for you hun x

Good morning ladies - just had my wi and have lost another 3lbs!!!!!!!!!!!! Am totally amazed at this diet, just can't believe it tbh. Have got this week planned out so will see how I get on but it's my son's birthday and have got another friend's birthday party on Friday night too so might...

Wow thank you sooooo much! Excellent!

Thanks Kerry - per 100g carbs = 21.8g, protein per 100g = 4.9g x

Hi, have just bought a reduced pack of waitrose free range egg noodles (19p!!!!!), cooked noodles to go straight to wok for my veg stir fry. Am worried that they might be high in syns despite the bargain price, and would be grateful for any help on this one please? 300g , 194 calories , 3.8g...

I did dance quite a bit as well, hoping that will negate (??spelling miss) the syn action perhaps?

Love it, very funny, proper lol!!!! :8855:

Although matchmakers 1 syn each - could have had another vodka instead, will know better next time eh?

Zoe that is ace, am impressed with "ze resistance" lol! I did ok too last night, drank the quota of vodka and diet coke, even splashed out on some diet lemonade. Friend had made chicken curry, but I checked and there was zero fat, and she had cooked from scratch so I assumed should be pretty...

Just realised that my last post was number 49............woo hoo, this is number 50 ha ha ha Get me, I am "proper" now!!

Reassuring that it's not just me Zoe, cheers mate! X

Hope that you got sorted Twinkletoes, I only joined a couple of weeks ago and everyone has been so supportive, so give us another go lol!!!! I did find the site quite confusing tho to be honest (well, still do sometimes!!!) am just about getting used to it now. That could be just me being a...

Smash pizza???? Well I never, whoever thought of that idea! Never eaten smash in my life, not even as a troggy student, they weren't kidding when they say life starts at forty..........lolololol, gotta give that a go. Have a fab weekend girls, I am going to go steady but enjoy it. Have gone a...

I think you did really well Zoe, there was quite a bit of "potential" temptation while you were out and yet you resisted. Hope I can be so disciplined this weekend :innocent0002:

Am out this sat though Zoe at two parties; so thought I might be best saving a few for the, ahem, alcohol?!!!!

Tell you what I have and enjoy Karen - egg "fried" rice, have added prawns & lots of veg and it's lovely plus it's very filling. Did the chicken breasts wrapped in bacon with a laughing cow low fat cheese triangle in middle which everyone liked but not so much the cheese part, so will do without...

Hiya girls, am doing pretty good, glad to hear you two are ok too! Been working too much so not had time to check in but can't believe how SW is working for me so far. Don't seem too hungry at all, and haven't missed chocolate at all which is very weird lol. Am loving (and I mean LOVING!!!!!)...

Zoe you have done so well so far, surely you are allowed a day off, so to speak? Well, because you have come so far it won't be a "proper" day off, just a slight one because you are bound to be careful anyway I imagine. Have a lovely family time, enjoy and don't worry x x x

Hey, have finally hit 40 posts lol!!!

Hiya Karen, thats a bummer but as you say, get back on the wagon and carry on, it'll be gone next week. I have been writing everything down on a food diary, just searched on google and printed some off, if I can find the link again will post it for you. The planning has been the key for me...

Lol, "synnage" made me smile - my 12 year old son says "skillage" a lot at the minute, thinks he is sooooo cool, I am going to start saying synnage instead ;-))))

Wow, never ever thought about freezing my curly wurly - fab idea thanks x

Thanks Karen, good luck for tomorrow hun, let me know how you get on fingers crossed! X

Well done Zoe, am well chuffed for you!!!!! X

Excellent weight loss, well done! My first week too, lost 3lbs and well chuffed, just had a curly wurly to celebrate as only 6 syns! ;-))))

Just want to say thanks for all your help, you may not think you have done much but even just reading your story so far has encouraged me. Lost 3lbs today at my private weigh in!!!! Am well chuffed, off to work now with the rest of the week pretty much planned out, oh, and hubby picking up...

Well, hubby going to argos at lunchtime for zumba wii as on offer at £22, will give it a go, thanks guys x

Wooooooo hoooooooo!!!!! Well, up for work early and lost 3lbs!! Am very impressed, plus spurred (?correct spelling???) on to keep it going. Karen & Biker, hope to hear from you soon, good luck you two x x x

:48:Btw, is it very wrong to get a tad excited about Christmas day after simply reading this thread? Just thinking about what we can eat that day................ha ha ha

Nice job Samprand, thanks v much. Bizarrely, green is my favourite colour too - are you psychic lol???!!

Please could I join? Not good at copying and pasting so sorry Samprand will have to ask if you could sort it out please???!!! My goal is 28lbs by Christmas if possible x

Good luck for WI tomorrow Zoe; its mine too but not going to class so will cheer myself on instead! X

Hey Zoe, nice of you to call by lol! Only 12 posts to go then I will be proper! Hope you have had a nice weekend, I even declined a glass of wine in the sunshine today, will eat my hat if I don't lose weight tomorrow! X

:giggle:But not together lol

Thanks all for the fab answers - I love this site!! Martini & wine here I come! X

Thanks guys, fruit juice is a good one, keep ignoring our usual family fresh orange tbh, maybe just need to think more about "good" syns eh?

Hello everyone, not sure if I should post this here but here goes! Apologies if wrong. Am struggling a bit with the syns on SW, mainly because I don't really want to eat "bad" stuff every day. Don't get me wrong, I do really love eating crap, otherwise I wouldn't need to diet eh, but I would...

Oops yet again, just realised why I dont know what VLCD is, am on the wrong forum, please ignore me ladies!!!!! What a muppet, good luck though girls, this site is fab x

Oops, my W button keeps missing!

Oh and hat is a VLCD??!! Lol :confused:

Hi Emma & hi Shellie, Good luck ladies, I admit to being a dabbler previously but am finding SW much better this time around. Secret for me has been the planning - have sorted each day out up to next weekend, which sounds a bit sad but I figured that if I do that then hopefully if I lose...

I love the fact that only in a few days I seem to have shifted my thinking over to SW; like conciously debating which option etc I should take; sad but somehow liberating for me!

Thanks, am impressed so far with how SW is going for me but will try and up the veggies, am not generally a fan tbh! Here I go again - ?body magic?? Not sure what that means, but I am not going to class this time around and my book is from July last year, so maybe it is something new?!!

Oh, other son has kinect too - maybe one is better???!!! Am rubbish at this technical stuff lol x

Hi ladies, am thinking of getting zumba for the wii - any comments/reviews as to whether it is worth £25 of my hard earned cash would be very much appreciated! Thanks all P x

Zoe - do you agree that eating loads of veggies on SW is the answer? What with being a teacher and all............lol, bet you get sick of people expecting you to know all the answers huh?!!!!!! P x

Weekend! Hi Karen, What have you got planned this weekend? Any challenges lol? We are off to a wedding this afternoon but its quite a way out of town so I have offered to drive, I figured that stops me being tempted by alcohol, especially if the sun is shining, because I can be easily led in...

Hi there, good for you and good luck, I started again this week and this site is fab, very encouraging! Moving house is sooooo stressful, hope that you are all settled in now, I will be staying put forever unless someone physically moves me out of here, never again lol X

Wow this ia an amazing thread guys! Can't wait to have something to add, hopefully soon!!! X

Thanks for the support bikerangel, come and join us eh? Good luck to you too x

Hi Karen, sorry for the late reply - can't get to grips with this forum, couldn't find you again! Need to randomly post on every thread to get myself up to 40 posts so then I can be part of the forum "proper" lol. Had 2 really good days, manage better at work tho tbh as need to plan what to...

Hi Zoe, just read your "blog/posts" and am so very inspired! Impressive weight loss, and great to read from a newbie (to SW but not dieting lol!) Thanks and well done you x

Thanks NiaX, am on EE too plus I don't have milk or dairy so it is reassuring to know that you have gone without hexA and still lost weight. You are right to be ecstatic about your fantastic weight loss, and you should be very proud of yourself and your commitment, sounds cheesy but it is really...

Niax, this is a little off topic but am I right in reading that you have lost over a stone in only a month? Could I be cheeky and ask which SW you are trying? Thanks, Paula (I can't pm as not been here long enough yet!) X

Hi again Karen, will check out your diary if I can, I have to post a silly number of times before I can have friends - might have a mad replying session lol! I am doing EE, never fancied the red & green day idea tbh, I work 4 days a week and it did seem to fit in better last year when I tried...
