    Kingleds Id just like to quote something a very wise woman on here once said to me: "Just know from now on that i say what i mean, and mean what I say. No "tone" in my posts. Cant say the same for others, hence i guess why some people thought I was being rude-i wasn't! Its a forum so I dont...

    Wow. You've all taken it so wrong. I wasn't implying that any anyone was unintelligent. Have I said anyones opinions aren't ok? No. I voiced my opinion on a tv show.

    Dear posters, If you are going to comment on my post please read it properly before going of on a complete tangent. What I used was called an example. People use them as a reference and a way to show/imply what they mean. Plus I know from what I have learnt from this thing called education...

    Please read my posts properly. Ignore the whole calorie debate, I was trying to explain I felt there was a lack of education and expirations behind their advice and that people were likely to be miss informed about it.

    How do you pick a target weight?

    I read this completely wrong at first n though you said everybody is supposed to be 10 stone! I'm 5,9 so if I was 10 stone there would be nothing left of me! I haven't officially set my target yet even though it's on here. It's just a rough guide so I know where I'm kindda aiming for!

I wouldn't make anything they don't actually like but if they decide to be fussy that night its...

    It's actually even worse than this! The law is under 17's get 30 mind for every 4.30 hours. 18+ and it's only 20 mins for 6 hours. So if it's an 11 hour shift which my darling manager gives me all the time you get an amazing 20 mins. I don't usually bother.

    Haha. Think everybody panicked! Lol! If you feel you'll benefit from having a week from wi and still stay on track then do it if you want. I know I'd use it as an excuse to eat what I wanted for a few days n would struggle to get in the zone! Everybodys different though x

    taking a holiday week....

    Don't do it!! I did this last time and it's what caused me to fall completely off track. It took me AGES to lose the weight I'd put on even though I was following the plan n it got me so down I just threw it all away. Please please please don't do it. It's sooooo not worth it.

    What was your worst habit?

    Crisps and cakes! I would buy sharing size bags of crisps and eat them all to myself n omg cakes. Cream cake, carrot cake, chocolate cake, cupcakes any cake.

    Is it wrong to weigh yourself at home?

    Don't step on the scales, and if you do, you have to learn to ignore it anyway.

Plus your scales won't...

  176. laura4988

    can't decide.....

    It's personal preferences I think. My friend at work has lost an amazing 6stone since January n he's never been near a slimming club, whereas since January my going it alone has made me put 2 stone on! Now back at group cause I know it works!
  177. laura4988

    BBQ advice

    I find chicken kebabs a god send, or you can do steak kebabs. Syn free or low fat sausage kebabs! (I like me kebabs!). Or just veg kebabs. Take some syn free dips or low fat Mayo n do lots of dipping! Tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and peppers cook beautifully on the BBQ!
  178. laura4988

    If you have nothing nice to say ....

    I'm really lucky because my nurse that I have to see is also on sw! So every time I see her we talk about how well were doing and favourite meals! She's defiantly a big help. She's lost 4 stone already and such a lovely person.

    Pizza - can i use the cheese as a hexa?

    Know it's a bit late now but what I would do would be to syn the whole thing, but then not have my hexa. That way I'd know I hadn't actually had as many syns as I'd said I'd had!

    Magazine App

    I'd imagine it's probably aimed at people who don't go the sw meetings, that's why it's more expensive for those who do. Don't think I could read a magazine on my phone though!
