Morning everyone Sorry not been around for a few days - been a bit manic here and not been on plan as good as I'd like. Well done on some fantastic losses :) wi for me tonight - fingers crossed. Have a good day x

Had a good day yesterday, 10.5 syns for the day and felt good to be back on plan. Today is a green day - think I need comfort food - it's cold :( Breakfast - 2 weetabix (hexb), 200ml ss milk (hexa), 1 large banana Early morning drinks - water Mid morning drink - water Lunch - 5 scanbran...

:welcome: I just joined the group yesterday. 2lb a week is sensible so go for it :) Enjoy the wedding Purplebat, superfree before and after and flexisyn Sat :) Good day for me yesterday :D Today I've had; Brekkie - weetabix, milk, banana 3 glasses water so far Lunch - scanbran, phili...

I have no such excuse, it's me who buys the rubbish :eek: Working today so have to be organised.

Bit late to this but need some motivation (see my diary) so I'd like to join you. Had a gain last night - well deserved and it was probably the kick up the backside I needed so I'm after all the motivation I can get. Red day for me - trying success express for a kick start. Weetabix & banana...

ooops I've been messing around for so long and have now slipped back and gained 10lbs :mad: I'm so furious with myself so need to get motivated again. I'm not promising to update this daily but will be checking in for tips and ideas. I've got 15 weeks to my holidays and I want a 5 stone sticker...

Damn Custard Creams Had a bit of an incident with custard creams last night - 3 syns each and I ate 6 :sigh:. I'd already had some crisps so my syns for yesterday came in at a whopping 27.5. This is what happens when there are biscuits in my house. Only redeeming factor is I indulged on a...

Thanks for dropping in. I haven't tried in on my kids yet. It really doesn't taste of leek - give it a try.

well done natalie - so hopefully this is your last week here :) [in nicest possible way]

200g new potatoes in skins is hexb on red It might have been a blip on the website because I've just done this from dropdown. perhaps try again.

Well done. You've done amazing in such a short time. It never comes off as quick as we'd like - personally I'd love 5 stone in the next 20 mins but as long as it's coming off I'm trying to accept that. I lost 2.5 last night so very pleased with that - now 15st 8.5, those pesky half pounds ;)...

Woo hoo I lost 2.5 lbs so thrilled - I know I probably don't deserve it so can only think the extra exercise has helped. Also need to be good this week, don't want it catching up with me this week. I've been stuck at this level for far too long. Todays menu - Red Breakfast:2 weetabix (hexb)...

Always a red day, I wi at 7pm so don't eat after 3pm and don't drink after 4pm - just drinking last of my water now. Obviously go the loo as much as possible - if I can manage and extra movement before I go excellent. Used to wear same clothes but they are far too big :). Just before I leave I...

Morning all, wi day for me - not until 7pm. tbh I'm not expecting much - check out my food diary for confessions! Good luck everyone xx

Weigh in Wednesday. I always have this nervous feeling even when I've been 100% and well I have certainly not been 100% this week. I feel better having a quick record of weekly syns and have certainly planned meals much better this week. Todays menu - Red Breakfast:2 weetabix (hexb), milk...

Tried the NuMe sausages last night and they were ok. Tonight I'm having my version of the hairy dieters leek lasagne. Todays menu - Red Breakfast:2 weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Coffee Mid morning: coffee, peach, plum Water Lunch: ham, vlf cottage cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber...

I asked in mine at weekend and was told NuMe is the replacement range. Bought some of the sausages and will be trying them - at 1 syn each they are double the eat smart so had better have double the yumminess.

well done - very nearly there. :)

I've had a bit of a mixed weekend. I've upped my exercise and went for a bike ride on Saturday - I haven't done this in over 20 years so very pleased with that - hell do I ache since. Also had a very long walk at seaside with dh yesterday then another couple of miles last night. Now the food...

well done, hope to follow in a few weeks :wavey: glad for some more company, I only joined this group too, I'm sure we can support each other and be in the 14s soon Thanks for the welcome and well done on the 14s - see you there soon xx

Afternoon all Been on the boards for a while but never joined this group, started in 19s but need to kick my backside into gear so hopefully so more motivation getting into the 14s. xx

If I'm honest I haven't really been on plan lately, in my defence I was on holiday last week but after a 1.5lb gain on Wednesday night I'm feeling more positive about the plan and my ability to follow it, despite this I'll admit I've been checking out the ww section and may jump ship. I've got...

Hi Vicky Congrats on the wedding, I'm sure you're settled into married life now - we recently celebrated 20 years - eeek I feel old now. Glad to see you back. :) Been away myself recently too - it is hard coming back but so worth it for the support here. :wavey: to Minky too xx

are the nume instead of eat smart? if not eat smart are 0.5 syns each and they're nice

I tend to cut the fat off when I've cooked it when it's warm as it comes away easier imo

I've just added them to my online diary and it says 2.5 syns, only 0.5 syn but be careful with something so moreish.

What a miserable day, goodness me I desperately need to see some sun. Glad I've got some lamb in my slow cooker for tonight. Todays Diary - Orange, 9.5 syns Breakfast: 30g All Bran Golden Crunch (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Mid morning: pear, bgty cup-a-soup (3syns) Lunch: sw quiche, lettuce...

When I went back to sw I'd gained 2.5 lbs so not too bad but I had a few weeks of not following plan and before I knew it I was up to a 4lb gain so time to pull myself together and lose this damn weight. I feel like I'm back on plan now and feeling better for it. I went back to work after 3...

Been a couple of weeks, I did loose 2.5 lbs so got my 4 stone award on 11.04. Had hysterectomy on 12.04 and haven't been on plan at all since. I start off with good intentions then loose it completely usually by about 11.30am! My aim is to give myself another 2 or 3 weeks then get back to...

Just saw dropweight is on groupon, hadn't heard of them so checked on here and found your diary - very informative :)

fish pie - loads of fish, hm parsley sauce (minimal syns in cornflour), mashed potato top & veggies

definately do a list of your favourite meals, then check how you can tweak to reduce syns, do shopping list and away you go. definately have free / low syn grab & go snacks (fruit / yogs / babybel lights etc). good luck :D

I lost about 2 stone before my clothes needed replacing. I have taken measurements but only check every few months. I've started taking photos on my phone every week and the difference from one week to the next isn't great but look back a few months and there's a big difference - helps when I'm...

Have a look here for stickers

I'm old skool and so red/green was the way to go and I did try EE when I rejoined last year but tbh I found it too carb heavy for me. I do mainly red but throw in the odd green or EE day. Whatever you decide, enjoy the birthday - what about saving syns or flexibles syns?

I use cheapie baking potatoes, peel and slice into chips, leave covered in water - usually overnight as I prepare a day in advance, drain, rinse and parboil for 5 mins, drain leave to cook for 10 mins or so, cook on silicon sheet sprayed with frylight in 220C (fan) for approx 3 mins - like them...

I wi on Wednesday so plenty time to get rid of the 1/2lb

Chicken with phili, wrapped in bacon, jkt potato & veg Was inspired by the chicken kiev in the mag, but don't fancy the breadcrumbs so adding some bacon :)

Well this hasn't been much of a diary for a few months, but I'm back on plan now and feeling ok. 1/2 a lb to go to my 4 stone award - do I hate those pesky 1/2 lbs. Red Thursday - 10 syns Breakfast: weetabix (hexb), 200ml semi-skimmed milk (hexa), banana Lunch: sw quiche with smoked salmon...

I made this for the first time yesterday and was surprised how long it took to cook on both sides -I think next time I will use a little less water in the mix as it was quite wet but omg it tasted really good. This, cheese scones and pakoras have been my successes this weekend. :D

Try sweet potato wedges, they are gorgeous.

I've added my measly 0.5 lbs to the list - think this is the most current list, had to go back so many pages; this is one busy thread :) broadsbean 84lbs~ 0 lbs lost Bron 84lbs~ 0 lbs lost daisygrubber 84lbs -3lbs lost dory78 84lbs ~ 0lbs lost Elaine 84lbs ~ 0lbs lost emzybop 84lbs ~ 0lbs lost...

well done addi. welcome patsy 0.5 off for me last night, I know I've kept to plan but the hormone fairies are at work so hopefully next week a good catch up loss is in order. Addibelle 14lbs (W) (4.5lbs lost - 9.5lbs to go) Bb65 14lbs (Su) (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) broadsbean 18lbs (4lbs...

Another wet & windy Thursday. Well last night wi I lost 0.5 lbs and I know I've kept on plan so think the hormones are playing silly wotsits so a bit of catch up is in order next week. I can't go to usual class next week so am wi a day later on Thursday. I wasn't impressed with class last...

Another 0.5 off for me, I know I've stuck to plan so I'm hoping for a bit of catch up next week.

0.5 lb for me this week, ok with that this week, so you'll have my company for at least another week. now if you find out how to get your weight abducted let me know ;)

That's what I like about this site - the honesty. :) I'm lucky that both my children are slim, but I am conscious that my little ds (7) is looking a bit bigger after christmas (my mum was visiting and I know he had lots of biscuits - something he doesn't normally have). Personally I know I...

morning curvies, well done on the losses so far this week :) wi for me tonight, had a mixed week with some controlled flexible syns at the weekend I've just added up and 105.5 syns for the week so pleased with that - we'll see what the scales say have a good day everyone xx

Tuesday, day before weigh in. Haven't updated diary for weekend yet, had a flexible day on saturday and went a few syns over on sunday. Monday's menu - Green Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - jkt potato with vlf cottage cheese, mullerlight yoghurt Snacks - 2...

hope your ok hun, I had lots of brown spotting in the early days with my ds - it is very common. try not to worry and hurry up thursday scan xx

wow that's some list lucia. well done hubby on joining but oooh that's one expensive list - enjoy your fish. I do mostly red, but tbh at the minute I'm a green girl cos I love jkt potatoes and it's so cold I need my carbs. My dh follows pretty much what I do and he prefers the red days to green.

Nearly the weekend Friday. It's still cold so another green day for me; I do like my jkt potatoes when it's cold outside. Haven't decided what to have for dinner tonight, possibly some pasta. Menu today - Green Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - jkt potato with vlf...

I agree the mullerlights is the most use to me. Club 10 isn't new this was in old plan (had my free week last week). I drink black coffee so extra milk doesn't affect me but yes if you have milk in drinks I can see that would be useful.

I'm 16 2.5 and I know if I get my backside in gear 3lbs is not beyond me.

leave it off - you're back and that's what matters. now get off the diet coke and drink that water, you'll soon shift those pesky lbs xx

I got my new pack last week, there are a few changes with quantities of heathy extras but nothing major imo

Thanks for dropping by :) Weigh in last night was good, I lost 0.5 lbs which cancels out last week's gain - so overall I'm pleased with a weight neutral christmas & new year. Group moved to new location last night and I'm not sure about this; the hall was freezing and I don't like being...

hi peeps, here for at least another week 0.5 off. Vicki & Mandy - I'm sure you'll be back in the 15s soon, I'm coming with you this time! Well done emmamb xx

I think we all deserve a :clap: for not shying away from the scales. I'm pleased with 0.5 off to cancel out last week's gain. Here's to a good week xx

Woohoo lots of peeps joining in :). 0.5 off for me, happy with that this week - cancels out gain last week. broadsbean 84lbs~ 0 lbs lost Bron 84lbs~ 0 lbs lost daisygrubber 84lbs -0lbs lost dory78 84lbs ~ 0lbs lost Fatbgone 84lbs ~ 4.5 lost ! Fat Stuff 84lbs ~ 0lbs lost Fat & 40 84lbs - 0.5lbs...

morning peeps, another one confessing to far too much cheese / crackers etc this weekend. by wi tomorrow I'll have been on plan 100% for 4 out of 7 days so not expecting much. Did some walking the other day so a bit of body magic but I think the cappuccino I had at the waterside cafe discounted...

Nothing to be ashamed about hunny - you're back and that's what matters. I'm sure that the extra lbs will be gone in a few weeks :)

Happy 2012 everyone, hope we all have a good year xx

Tuesday already Another year begins and I'm feeling quite positive. The last few days have seen me on plan with a few flexible syns, which was my intention on plan the majority of Christmas / New Year with a few days of flexible syns without going over the top. I did that. I'll admit to having...

great to see you back vicki xx

hope you feel better soon sugarplum, well done on the sts and getting the smaller size - great feeling

got some cheeses, will follow lucia and portion and freeze. other naughties were given to guests as they left! chocs & pringles will be eaten by kids eventually

Nearly the weekend. I feel back in control, totally focused and ready to get rid of the rest of this weight in 2012 (or most of it anyway). It was strange to have a gain but in a bizarre way I'm pleased I did. I have lost every week since I joined end July and I think I needed to have a gain...

I was doing sw when I got pg with ds (after 3 years of ttc) and I remember the midwife had to sign consent form for consultant every month - basically saying that they were happy for me to actively lose weight. good luck with your pg xx

amazing photos lucia, well done xx

Hi Purely personal choice, I've done both in the past and currently doing sw - this works better for me and my family.

I struggle with EE most of the time as I know I don't eat enough superfree. Red days are better for me but I do like the flexibility of changing plans depending on my mood.

0.5 on for me, back to plan 'properly' today - weighing hex.

good ole google here too - can't remember what sw info I wanted but it was here

0.5 gain for me last night, so 3.5 to get into 15s, hopefully in the next couple of weeks

Back on plan Thursday Put 0.5lb on this week, it's my first gain and I'm quite happy with it - got sotm for December & prize is a 6 week countdown (very welcome). Got the new books but haven't had chance to go through them properly. Menu today - Green Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk...

Not the best start to this challenge, put 0.5lb on - happy with that this week. Addibelle 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Bb65 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) broadsbean 18lbs (0lbs lost-18 to go) Bron 14lbs ( 0 lbs lost -14to go) Fat&40 17lbs (-0.5lbs lost - 17.5 to go) Harebell Fairy 14lbs...

afternoon peeps - wi not til 7pm so a few hours to go to find out the damage - hopefully not too bad. fantastic 7lbs loss Magiiickal

I'd like to be in the 14s so a bit ambitious target of 17 - 7 wi for me starting tonight, so need to average 2.5lbs a week. Good luck everyone. Addibelle 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Bb65 14lbs (0lbs lost - 14lbs to go) broadsbean 18lbs (0lbs lost-18 to go) Bron 14lbs ( 0 lbs lost -14to go)...

some great losses this week already - well done everyone, especially Tanya, 5 lbs is amazing. Hope to be joining you in the 15s soon xx wi for me tonight - I have indulged more than usual but haven't gone mad. tbh I'll be ok with a gain upto 3lbs and I think I'm within that - I know my...

morning, hope we're all well got some sz 18 jeans last week - very pleased with that. had a few days off plan but back to it (wi tonight!)

Tuesday Mixing up the days a bit more - orange today. I haven't been writing down here as much but have been having 10 - 12 syns a day. I'm finding I need comfort food when it's cold so more green / orange days. I also made conscious decision not to buy mini babybels which I had been eating as...

morning peeps, can't remember when I last updated on here; like everyone been so busy. lost 2lbs last week so 1 lb off 3.5stone, would love that tomorrow - just in time for santa. NSV - tried some clothes on in sainsburys cos they've got upto 50% off loads and a size 18 top was too big...

think this is the latest, 2lbs for me last week, 4 to go - not likely to happen but not far off so I'm pleased with that. Addibelle 22lbs (20.5lbs lost - 1.5lbs to go) Bb65 22lbs (21.5lbs lost - 0.5lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (17lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (22lost~ 0 to go) ******target...

Tuesday Mixing up the days a bit more - green again today. I haven't been writing down here as much but have been having 10 - 12 syns a day. Menu today - green Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - jkt potato (hexb), vlf cottage cheese, diet irish yoghurt Snacks -...

I'm looking forward to the new book. I want to use that as new weight book and will obviously keep old one but I don't want old stickers on new book - I think it will be good to see what stickers I got in what book. [slopes off thinking I'm possibly a bit odd]

I'm another one about 1/3 of the way through my journey. This week at group we were asked about coping strategies for Christmas and I said I would enjoy but not go mad after all I've been yo-yo dieting for the last 20 years so another couple of weeks aren't going to make much difference.

I've got 3 tubes of pringles in the cupboard too. Definately a theme. chocolates cheese & crackers pate & crackers baileys smoked salmon & scrambled egg - ok so far til I put them on a buttered (proper stuff) white bagel....... yum yum yum

Another Thursday lost another 2lbs last night - would love more but my body seems happy to part with 2lbs a week. Not sure what to have for dinner today yet; Menu today - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - jkt potato (hexb), vlf cottage cheese, mullerlight...

2lbs for me, another 6.5 to go to the 15's - still possible before christmas but tbh unlikely but that's ok it'll come soon

Morning all - sorry not been around for a while. Lost 2lbs this week so pleased with that. Had some good losses again this week - well done everyone.

Well done everyone. Another 2lbs for me, 6 to go - bit of a target for 2 weeks (particularly these 2 weeks!). We've lost 2 people between us. Addibelle 22lbs (18.5lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Bb65 22lbs (21.5lbs lost - 0.5lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (17lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (22lost~ 0...

Back on track Tuesday. Had a bit of a mare the last few weeks, kept to plan, with a few flexible days and have been ok. Yesterday was meant to be my back to writing down in the same place 100% however I had a migraine from hell and spent the afternoon in a darkened room! Feeling much better now...

Monday and I'm feeling lousy Had a very busy weekend and will work out syns as I go Menu Saturday - orange Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - chicken mullerlight, apple, pear Snacks - options (2), hifi bar (6), skinny cappuccino (3), sugar (2) Dinner - chinese...

Friday at last Menu today - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - sw quiche, mullerlight Snacks - apples, plums, satsuma, pear, peppermint tea, options (2), hifi bar (6), melon, pineapple, mango Dinner - smoked haddock, roasted veg, wedges (hexb), low low (hexa)...

Exactly - I think it could be quite demoralising to see a loss to be told no it's a sts or worse a sts is a gain :mad:. I understand the rounding but why the 2 aren't the same is beyond me.

doesn't make sense to me - I'd check with the consultant

I would have thought that the number you see on the scales is what they should write in your book.

afternoon peeps 2lbs for me this week - feel like I'm firmly in this group now at 16 st 8 - now can I escape to the 15s in time for santa?

Some more good losses, 2lb for me Addibelle 22lbs (18.5lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Bb65 22lbs (21.5lbs lost - 0.5lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (17lbs lost - 10lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (18 lost~ 1lb to go) carriebrad 22lbs (6.5lbs lost ~ 15.5lbs to go) Eyden Hainsworth 22lbs (7lbs lost - 15lbs to go)...

Another flying visit - I will try to update more. Lost 2lbs last night, sotw & sotm. Seems to be a steady 2lb loss :553: Menu today - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa), banana Lunch - sw quiche, mullerlight Snacks - apples, plums, satsuma, pear, peppermint tea, options (2)...

Morning all well done rachel. Here for another week, lost 2lbs so 17 st, I really do plan to be moving next week.

Addibelle 22lbs (14.5lbs lost ~ 7.5lbs to go) Bb65 22lbs (14lbs lost - 8lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (15lbs lost - 12lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (17 lost ~ 5 lbs to go) carriebrad 22lbs (6.5lbs lost ~ 15.5lbs to go) Eyden Hainsworth 22lbs (7lbs lost - 15lbs to go) fat&40 28lbs (14lbs lost ~ 14lbs to go)...

morning all, here for at least another week, lost 1lb last night so 17st 2lb - perhaps next week great blog little bubblez - the jeans picture is amazing

Thursday I lost 1lb last night, which is my lowest loss since I started. I actually believe it's more to do with weighing at a different time last week, so 3lb in 2 weeks rather than 2 & 1 iykwim. So where does this leave me - oh yes only another 100 to go! I'd like to get into the 16s next...

some good losses this week. 1lb for me which I'm ok with as I'd been away and was sceptical about last weeks wi as it was in the morning and I normally wi in the evening so 3lb over 2 weeks is ok.

oh dear, did you do anything different this week?

fantastic news, great to hear that some genuine cases get what they should - shame you had such a fight to get this far.

fantastic - well done all of us :woohoo:

Weigh in Wednesday I wonder what tonight will bring. I'm not expecting a big loss (I never do) but I don't think I deserve a gain either - perhaps that's just me over-analysing things. I'm a bit ocd on this but if I relax and don't write down everything then I do lose it and I am determined...

Fantastic Karen, you're doing great. Keep a seat for me in the 16s, I'm right behind you, wi tonight and I won't get into 16s but next week I'm aiming for it. Hope you've kept some seats Vicki

:D me to (crossed posts)

well done tuesday weighers I'm a wednesday girl, don't wi until 7pm tonight

good luck for today everyone I've got that nervous wednesday feeling - been away this week and and have been ok but have had a couple of meals out.

afternoon all some good losses again, lots nearing 16s:D. wi for me tomorrow but I'm expecting to still be here for another week or so.

Thinking of a Tuesday I know some people work on the once you've eaten it don't think about it principle but for me I need to record what I've eaten or I feel out of control which leads to me going off the rails and I go into 'sod it' mode. I kept a list of what I'd eaten (good & bad) last...

hey Karen, just caught up with your loss - well done

omg vicki, hope you're feeling much better now. both my kids have asthma and the the youngest has been in hospital with it & croup and it's very scary. take care hun

2lbs off for me, didn't quite hit my target - that pesky 0.5lb got me Addibelle 10lbs (6lbs lost - 4lbs to go) AgingRockChick 7lb (2lb lost - 5lb to go) Bec85 (0lb lost - 14lb to go) Bexyboo 6lb (0lb lost - 6lb to go) Broadsbean 14lb (0lb lost - 14lb to go) BuzzyBee 12lb (2.8lb lost - 9.2lb to...

Monday madness The last week has been ok (ish). I found a sw group so wi on Wednesday although it was a morning wi not the evening I'm used to so I'm a bit sceptical about the 2lb loss but it did take me to 2.5 stone which I'm pleased about. My C text to say she'd checked my wi and I was sotm...

2 for me last wednesday - couldn't update til now Addibelle 22lbs (11lbs lost ~ 11lbs to go) Bb65 22lbs (14lbs lost - 8lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (13lbs lost - 14lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (17 lost ~ 5 lbs to go) carriebrad 22lbs (6.5lbs lost ~ 15.5lbs to go) Eyden Hainsworth 22lbs (7lbs lost -...

Hi all, been away and did manage to find a sw to wi and I lost 2lbs, making 2.5 st and my C txt me too and I'm sotm. Had a quick skim through, glad ur better shiny and woohoo on the win. Hello to newbies too. Off to catch up.

well done sugar, mrs e-h & lollipop hope any other friday weighers do as well :D

Final Friday Last day at work for a week, probably won't update diary while I'm away. Menu today - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa) Lunch - smoked salmon, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, vlf cottage cheese, diet yoghurt Snacks - apples, plums, satsuma, pear Dinner - smoked...

STEP BACK FROM THE VENDING MACHINE :angeldevil: if you can resist a yummy bakery smell then a machine holds no worries.

well done vicki

it's coming off which is much better than going on - 0.5 per week is nearly 2 stone in a year. If I'd lost at that rate (and kept it off) I'd have reached my target 20 years ago :eek:

thanks minky last week was really good on syns but nothing else. Looking at my stats in my signature I can see a pattern forming. I was very bloated last week so was hoping to see the difference this week - hope it's the same for you next week.

Well done, some fantastic losses this week. 4lbs for me & sotw - another 2lbs to 2.5 stone - would love this next week, but I'm away for a few days so unlikely

Thankful Thursday Woohoo lost 4lbs last night & sotw, well chuffed. Menu today - orange Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa) & banana Lunch - smoked salmon, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, vlf cottage cheese, diet yoghurt Snacks - apples, plums, satsuma, pear, sw cheesecake (5)(hifi -...

morning all Shiny, glad you're feeling better. I love those sausages - even my very fussy family loved them, they don't taste like 'diet food' :) drumroll please - I lost 4lbs last night :D:D most I've lost since wk 1, still a way to go before I move down to the 16s but I'm feeling very...

4lbs off :D for me only 17 to go :eek: Addibelle 22lbs (11lbs lost ~ 11lbs to go) bb65 22lbs (14lbs lost - 8lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (7lbs lost - 20lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (11lost ~ 11lbs to go) carriebrad 22lbs (6.5lbs lost ~ 15.5lbs to go) Eyden Hainsworth 22lbs (4lbs lost - 18lbs to go)...

definately a flexible syn day / days

Sorry it was a mini one - far too good to share with the rest of the family (had to stop my dd from eating it). 10 seconds in microwave and it is squishy enough to mould into the bottom of large ramekin.

:welcome: great to see some more peeps joining us. I made a sw cheesecake and it really was amazing - definately try it minky. base: 1 softened small hifi bar (choc) topping: small pot quark, sweetener, white options - mix together, top and fridge 5 syns the lot or 2 if using hifi bar as...

Sorry not been around much this week, mad busy. Good luck wednesday weighers - 7pm for me tonight, been very good so a nice loss would be great.

Well done, fantastic weight loss :bliss:and you started it on my birthday (if only I had too).

Nearly afternoon all Been very good this week so hoping for a good loss. I'm away next week but may manage to get to another class but it will be a morning one and I'm a bit wary of this also as I know weight changes average 2lb difference throughout the day. Ceriann - sounds like your...

Wintry Wednesday - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa) & banana Lunch - ham, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, vlf cottage cheese, diet yoghurt Snacks - apples, plum, satsuma, pear, sw cheesecake - hifi (hexb), quark, sweetener & options white (2) Dinner - mushroom omelette with edam...

Good to see you back trango. Hope tomorrow brings hapy scales for us all.

Hope your freeling better soon Shirleen and that you have stepped away from the loaf. Bread no longer lives in my house either.

Well done on the planning. I'm quite lucky that there is no vending machine to conquer at work - nearest shop is 5 min drive away so no temptation here.

Hi Vicki Sounds like you've got a plan to keep away from the vending machine - it is difficult when you're very busy not to grab anything in reach.

Tempting Tuesday - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa) & banana Lunch - chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, diet yoghurt Snacks - apples, plum, satsuma, pear Dinner - 2 eat smart 60% less fat sausages (1), jacket potato (hexb) with edam (hexa), baked beans (4), diet yoghurt...

Monday, wet & windy weekend roundup Had a good weekend food wise, feel quite positive about this week. Made sw cheesecake which is amazing - the topping is yummy. Saturday - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa) & banana Lunch - sw quiche (ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, vlf...

OMG Vicki that's fantastic :woohoo: you'll be leaving us soon, why do you worry about 12 syns? Emma - well done :D, you'll be out of here soon too need to shift it up a gear or I'll be billy no mates :(

well done everyone I'm another one who does mainly red days - carbs & pcos don't mix here either! I find too many EE and my losses slow too. Although I had a green yesterday (ok the day after wi) I'm going to try red the rest of the week. lollipop - we all feel disheartened with smaller...

I did pork in a maggi sauce earlier this week - I used the one meant for ribs and it was yummy (think it was 5.5 syns for the total) well done arctic :D fingers crossed Vicki

:welcome: fantastic start, well done

fantastic - very close to 3 stone sticky :D:D

woo hoo I bet that felt great - looking forward to the piccie. enjoy the rest of your holiday xx

Thumping Thursday - green I got 2 more shinys :clap: lost 1.5 & got 2 stone & club 10. Haven't decided what colour day I'm having - breakfast & lunch free or hex on any colour. It's unusual for me not to have planned every meal but I really couldn't decide so will see how I feel later...

Excellent start :welcome: 1.5 for me :D, club 10 & 2 stone

1.5 for me - only 21 to go, perhaps a bit optomistic in 10 weeks but I'll give it a good go. Well done everyone. Addibelle 22lbs (8.5lbs lost ~ 13.5lbs to go) bb65 22lbs (14lbs lost - 8lbs to go) Broadsbean 27lb (7lbs lost - 20lbs to go) Bron 22lbs (8.5lbs lost ~ 13.5lbs to go) carriebrad...

Good thanks. 1.5 off so got my club 10 and 2 stone award. Back later to update syns for yesterday and todays menu.

almost afternoon everyone 1.5 lbs for me this week - club 10 & 2 stone award :D well done everyone

1.5 lbs for me - well done everyone Ago Brock hick 7lb (0.5lb lost - 6.5lb to go) Bec85 (0lb lost - 14lb to go) Bexyboo 6lb (0lb lost - 6lb to go) Broadsbean 14lb (0lb lost - 14lb to go) BuzzyBee 12lb (2.8lb lost - 9.2lb to go) Cai 6lbs (3 lbs lost - 3 to go) ClaireS84 5lbs (0lbs lost - 5lbs...

I quite enjoyed them, tried the salt & vinegar and cream cheese & chive but then I like scanbran remember :8855: they are a bit dry but ok. It's definately worth getting multipack as they are 4 syns not 5 - obviously a smaller pack but I didn't notice.

We have seriously been looking at food budget too Minky - we do seem to have a lot of chicken too - can stretch it quite far but it does get a bit samey! veggie soup is a favourite for me but as I'm the only one who'll eat it I tend to use this at lunchtimes.

Well done on the shiny Cassy. Back on plan and a nice loss next week too.

:welcome: another great start

Fantastic, well done :bliss:

Weigh in Wednesday - red Bit annoyed with myself that I had 2 bags of ryvita minis last night - all because they were different flavours. Now this pesky 0.5 lbs which kept me away from 2 shinys last week had better be joined by some lbs to keep my happy. Much as I'd love to loose 5 stone in...

of course - it's the law isn't it :D well done, I've lost every week (so far) and my routine is one I'm staying with too. hope the gain (if it is a gain) isn't too bad and more importantly that you enjoyed it - after all it's only a couple of weeks longer to target :D I wi at 7pm so a...

I agree about munchies leading us to dangerous places. Glad you managed to keep yours to mostly syn free. I had 2 packets of ryvita minis last night - still within syn allowance buy why the night before wi? Only reason is because I had bought 2 different flavours :8855:

:D they all count in my book

so juicy pork steak, carrots & leeks with new potatoes & curly kale

Well done on the 1.5lbs and particularly well deserved for not giving in to ds birthday cake.

so far today apple, pear, 2 plums, 2 satsumas, banana, lettuce, cucumber, 2 cherry tomatoes, nectarine planned for later curly kale, carrots, leeks I'm trying to up my superfree, hoping this thread will help keep me on track and I might just see some ideas from other peeps.

every lb counts - I've got a similar target to you, we can do it together :D fingers crossed

Terrific Tuesday - red Feeling much better today, don't know why I felt so down yesterday. I'm trying to incorporate as much superfree as possible - this is definately an area I need to improve. Also as the nights get colder I'm indulging in a little hot chocolate - feels quite a treat and...

Excellent birthday present :D

I can certainly relate to a lot of this - thanks for the pep talk. well done for going shiny, now you know what you are dealing with and move forward. I hate the not knowing. well done on the loss and sotw :D I'm feeling much more positive today - don't know what was wrong with me...

:welcome: great start

:welcome: I think most of us can relate to that - I once put a stone on in a week :eek: (and it wasn't choccie related) Morning Wednesday weighers - hope we are all doing well today for last push before wi tomorrow (unless you've done a sneaky like natzta ;)).

I was a secret eater too Minky - buying family packs of *whatever* then embarrassed to admit I'd eaten half so would finish it and hide the evidence. I love this place, you can admit and move on. Guilt has always led me straight to give up land!

Well that's some weekend. Now you know what you need to do - get back on plan. Accept what you've done and move forward. :) Go tonight and find off for sure - if you don't you'll kick yourself and you may not have gained at all. Best to face it, then at least your on plan and being positive...

honk - spag bol

Sabotage Saturday & Sunday Bit of a strange weekend, met a friend and took kids to playbarn - this is fatal... cappuccino and if you're read any of this thread you'll know this is my nemesis :mad:. Of course I had 2 with 2 sugars in each. :o I didn't shop til Sunday which meant I had...

Fantastic both of you :bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss: Had a bit of an odd weekend myself - just not felt myself. I know I haven't been as organised as usual and we all know fail to plan, plan to fail! Shiny - hope you're feeling better soon.

What about a mix to max day - can't remember exactly how they work :o breakfast - beans/toast or poached egg on toast lunch - chinese buffet, I did this a few weeks ago for dinner - avoid pancakes / wantons etc, go for beef / chicken in black bean / oyster sauce with boiled rice dinner -...

excellent loss vicki - 8lbs in 2 weeks. I need to get my act together so I'm not so far behind you lot - then hopefully we can rush through 16 to 15

well done Vicki Don't think so, just copy the last list and add yourself. Well done on your losses.

Thanks interesting - C at group is always telling us to make sure we have both hexs.

I likey Mrs E-H, I'm a Mrs E - not half so interesting ;)

Just checked and definately the same height :confused:

thanks peeps - I'm ok, just a bit peeved - I'd rather have been 1 lb away. Anyway that's enough of that, what are we doing this week to get some good losses?

1cm :rolleyes: I think I've probably stopped growing now ;) how about mixing days i.e. red / green / orange - rather than blocks.

Thursday & it's raining! - red Breakfast - weetabix (hexb), milk (hexa) & banana Lunch - smoked salmon, primula light (hexa), salad, cucumber, tomatoes, snackpot Snacks - apples, plum, nectarine, pear, hifi (1/2 hexb) Fish pie (5.5) with carrots & cauliflower Fish Pie - serves 4 Fish -...

Thanks Vicki, you know I don't like those 1/2 lbs :8855:

BMI annoyance :confused: on sw website mine is 39.9 :D - haven't been in the 30s for ages but on here its 40.1 :(

2lbs for me this week - bit disappointed if I'm honest, I really wanted by 2 stone and club 10, to miss out by one pesky little half pound :rolleyes:. Lots of low weight losses at club last night so I got sotw. :D
