To get back to my goal weight after having my second baby 5 weeks ago. x

That's fab, I would like to give couch to 5k a go this year, just need to make myself just get out there and not worry what others think. Big congrats on your weight loss. x

Well done, this is one of my biggest problems - 2014 is the year I crack this...Keep up the good work. x

Incredible, you look awesome. x

Just the inspiration I need to get back on it after losing 86lbs then gaining half back with my 2nd pregnancy :/ Thank you and well done!!

Hello all, I am 5 weeks on from giving birth to my baby daughter - I had a great christmas and today was the first day of being back on track with my fitness pal...feeling good and positive. It took me just over a year to lose 6.5 stone last year so I would love to lose this 3 stone 4lbs by the...

Hello all, I am finally seeing the difference in myself - it takes your brain a while to catch up eh! Apologies for the silly face in first pic, there are hardly any pics of me after having my little one as I felt so bad about myself (I didn't know this one was being taken). I can see the...

I do, I do!! I've lost 4 and a half stone since July. If you've got the basic books (food directory is helpful too but not essential) you'll soon get to know what's what. I've lent the books to my mum so haven't used them since before christmas but know the free foods and healthy extras and look...

Hiya, I do it at home and have lost 4 stone 3lbs so far. I was at target last year then put on a lot (a lot, lot lot) of weight in pregnancy. I've got 1 stone 7lbs left to lose to get back to target (hopefully before my little ones 1st birthday) and I am soooo determined. Keep focussed on the...

Aah, that's okay. Keep reading posts on here or have an early night/paint your nails/anything to stop you carrying on as it'll make you feel worse. I haven't had a binge (had treats but not ott out of control stylee) since that night and feel so much better for it. Be kind to yourself. xxx

Aw, thank you. It is my size but also the fact I am on maternity leave so just run about from here to there with my hair scraped back and minimal make up (just so I look half alive). :rolleyes: Am starting back at work in a couple of months so am getting my hair cut back into a style and will...

I look forward to being a healthy role model to my son. I also look forward to making more effort with myself and feeling attractive.

Thanks all, I did stop after I posted (felt sick that hasn't stopped me carrying on it the past *shameful*) and got straight back on it Sat morning and managed to lose 1lb this morning. I think it was a combination of * week coming, feeling a bit down and unwell and tired with looking after my...

Hiya, I've just had my first binge in 7 months. Thought I had gotten over my past binging problems and had been doing so well (have had around 8 meals out/takeaways over the 7 months and have made good choices where I could and where I couldn't I stopped after the meal and didn't go home to...

Hi there, your post struck a chord with me and I have lots of weight related horrible things happen to me too - some years and years ago but like you, they stay with you don't they. I know it's not as easy as this but I try hard to turn the negative energy into will power to keep going...

Hello there, Aw, you're allowed to feel sad for yourself. x I hit target in summer last year - first time in my life I've ever been "slim" - throw in a wedding and baby and a year later I was at my heaviest ever (ever, ever) and I promise you I felt exactly the same as you. Roll on 6 months...

I lost 2lbs! :) :) :) Very proud of myself. I had a couple of sweets christmas eve night (doing kids stockings) then had christmas day off (drank about 6 pints of water though and only had what I really really wanted food wise - inc. pudding and chocs) then back on plan boxing day. I do SW...

Hi everyone, Well I did it :) Weighed in and lost 2lbs...on boxing day!!!! I did have "naughties" yesterday but had been so good all week and worked hard at the gym. I am going to get right back on the wagon today and hope for a small loss next week too. Yippeeee, very proud of myself.

Excellent, lots of good things going on :) Lovely motivation to keep going. Merry christmas all. xxx

Hi all, just looking back at christmas posts from last year for some extra motivation (hubby out, baby in bed so having a good ol' motivation sesh). I came across a "this time last year" post and thought I'd start one for this year... So...this time last year I was pregnant with my son. I...

Me too please - 36lbs to target :) BSL11 36lbs (0lbs lost - 36 to go) "LittleFlutterby" cai 15 lbs (0 lbs lost ~ 15 lbs to go) Ermintrude 39lb (0lb lost - 39lb to go) Foodjunkie10 25lbs (0lbs lost-25lb to go) Harebell Fairy 50lbs (0lbs lost - 50 lbs to go) Kenco 42lbs (0lbs lost - 42lbs to go...

We were givien a tin of Quality Street last week and they are still wrapped up in the paper (shape gave it away though ;)) on top of the kitchen cupboard - rewind to last year, they would've been gone by now. To be opened on christmas day to share with all the family coming round. Also, have an...

Hi there, I am on maternity leave at the moment so not as "well off" as we were last year and I do moan sometimes but after reading some of the posts it's made me grateful for what we do have - have enough pennies to treat the 3 children and get some treats in for christmas. Just said to my...

I know it *is* colder but I've really started to feel the cold without such a thick layer of porkiness on me! :) and I don't have to worry so much about getting somewhere extra early (ie; docs or meeting a friend in town) to give me "cool off" time if I've been walking as I would sweat so much...

Hi all, Just read through the whole thread and I am a "homie" too :) I was at target 18 months ago, but 1 wedding and 1 pregnancy and here I am...I've lost 41lbs so far since July 04th with 39lbs still to go. I had a 3 course meal on Saturday night and have a fancy meal once a week until after...

Hiya, you're tall like me and even at my smallest I still had chunky legs as I have a larger frame - my sister lost a lot of weight and is a size 10/12 now and unfortunately still has bigger legs - that's just the way we're built despite trying to work on them. I bet you're legs are nice and...

Hi Chunk-y - not so chunky anymore I am sure! Well done on your brilliant losses. I started a few days after you and have lost 41lbs so far - I'm ever so pleased with that too :) 50lbs is my next mini goal. What plan/s do you follow, have you been exercising too? Well done again, that is...

Hi there, I am 5ft 11 and at my lowest weight I was 13 stone. I have quite a broad frame and was a size 12-14 (mostly 14 in jeans/trousers and 12 in dresses and tops). I look back at pics now and can see I looked good for my frame although at the time I was desperate to just get to 12 stone...

That's excellent - I was thinking 4 or 5 syns. Thanks again. xx

Thank you very much. Per 100g: Cals:162 Total fat:1.8g Total carbs:30.4g Total protein:5g Pack size: 227g Thank you. x

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I had seen this thread but it's not the same pack. Thank you for trying though. x

Hello there, Please can someone tell me the syn value of 'sainsburys sushi variety' 227g pack on EE? I'd be very grateful. Many thanks :D

Hello there, I don't often post but thought I would as I'm nearly halfway through my journey now. 5 months ago I hadn't long had my baby and couldn't even get size 20 jeans on - 20 weeks on and I'm wearing size 16 jeans - still a way to go but I feel like I'm getting my old self back. Keep...

Thanks ever so much, think I'll give the fancy one a miss in future - stick to the basic low syn ones! x

Please can someone give me the syn value for this Tesco Fish Sushi And Salad 286G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries I've done a search and can find sushi syns, just not this specific one. Thank you.

No, no, no - not at all - your story will be brill. I was in the mag 2 years ago (before I had my boy and gained all my weight back and some) and I didn't particulary have an amazing story. I lost 3.5 stone in a year and the story was about gaining weight when moving in with a partner. There...

Hello there, please can someone give me the syns for the following Sainsbury's Sweet Chilli Noodle Salad (225g) in Sainsbury's | mySupermarket I don't have the packaging as I had the noodles from the salad bar at Sainsburys. I'm hoping someone has had these before so knows the syns. Thank you...

Me, me, me! I am exactly the same as you. For example - the arcadia delivery lady came to deliver a parcel (from Dorothy Perkins) and said something about thinking it might be from Evans - I was thinking - she obviously thinks I am overweight and felt really upset about it. When I think about it...

Aw, how funny! When you said nearly 11 weeks I did wonder if it might be the same day :) I was 9 days overdue. I know, I can't believe how fast the time has gone - was only saying yesterday that this has been the fastest 3 months of my life! Best of luck with the rest of your SW journey, you've...

Mrs V, when was you lo born? Mine was 26th May - can't believe he is almost 3 months already! x

Hello there, I am in the same boat - also got pregnant a year ago next month (only just worked that out - doh)! I had reached my goal weight before pregnancy (for my wedding in July last year) and now have all this weight to lose again (I am heavier than ever)... We can do this, I am taking it...

PS. Salted is 88 cals and maple 92 cals so 4.5 and 5 syns each I am guessing? (Rounding up and down on 20 cals per syn).

Hello, Has anyone else seen the Boots Shapers Popcorn. Comes in maple syrup and salt flavours. Can't remember the syns at the min but definitely under 5 per bag. My husband is going to pick me some up in town today so will report back. The bags are quite expensive (50p and 65p I think) but worth...

Thanks all :) I sometimes feel like I am never going to be where I was before. The most I've ever lost is 4 stone and that was hard going, I can't imagine losing an extra 2 stone on top although have to look at in in bite size chunks (probably not the best words to use, haha). Thank you for...

Hello there, I've been following all the threads on here for a couple of weeks now and they are really keeping me going... I was at my target weight in June last year but after getting married and having a baby within the year I have a whole load of weight to lose again. :cry: I am trying to be...
