Hi all! I hope you don't mind me joining in. I'm doing SW at home as I can't afford a subscription or to go to class. I've done it before but need not to get cocky this time and think 'yeah I got this'. I weigh in on a Saturday morning but am definitely an obsessive weigher. Good luck all and...

Right so I'm back! I've been on and off eating plans for the past few years but the last year more off than on. On the 2nd January 2014 I had my gallbladder removed due to massive infected stones. I feel a lot better since that's been gone but also eating rubbish too! I've decided to do...

Had a lovely dinner of sausage casserole from the slimming eats website, was very yummy and very filling. Had loads of veggies in it too. Followed by my roulade which was also very tasty! :)

Here's the finished product, I had to cut the length in half so it would fit on a dinner plate, looks good to me!

Mmmmmmm fancied some cakey type thing so am making the 1/2 syn roulade but have made it higher syn by adding cocoa powder to the 'sponge' and a wee bit of peanut butter for the filling. Hopefully it'll be as good as it smells. Mmmmm yummy!

Phew! Day one level one of Jillian micheals 30 day shred done! I'm trying to use exercise to lift my mood. Feel knackered but pretty good. :)

STS again, I just can't seem to get past this weight! Hopefully I'll do it this week.

STS for the last 2 weeks. Keep going all!!!!

Happy to say still 100% and hoping for a loss this week! Getting a bit fed up with mucking around with this 1/2 pound! I'm hoping I can break it and then get moving down again. In not so good news my brain is most definitely going on holiday! Boooo! But I know that it'll sort itself out and...

Another successful day! Been on plan 100% for about 4-5 weeks now. Just done 2 hours of digging, planting some veggie seeds and setting up my new mini greenhouse. I love doing that. Can't wait to reap the yummy veggie rewards I'm going to get later in the year! I planted - parsnips, leeks...

Hi Jackie :wavey: Thanks, since I had a mental breakdown 2 years ago I understand that sometimes my brain goes 'on holiday' but also know that it'll come to an end and I'll be ok. Still at least this time I stayed on track! Feeling pretty good about the food and know brain will follow. Pix :)

I STS this week. Was feeling really good after being 100% today and really enjoying Zumba. Then I checked my emails - I didn't get the job! No reasons, just they had more suitable people. Boooooo! They're loss! I would've been fab! Still going to be 100% this week, not going to let it get me down.

Hi Minky Thanks for the warm welcome. Feel free to pop by my diary anytime! Congrats on the loss, here's to another good week! :happy096::bunnydance:

Sounds like you had a great weekend! Here's to a great week!

Well time to be honest, I've been very naughty today! :booboo: the naughty Cadbury creme eggs were calling, I've had 2 in the last 24 hours! But line under that and onto more positive things. I've re-read my diary and learned that I am capable of doing this journey. This diary has really...

Yep, they are a replacement for my engagement ring as now it's too big and keeps falling off. And yes soooooo much fun looking/dreaming, I love jewellery. I was the same about I'll know it when I see it but I came across these 2 in seconds of each other. OH says I'm worth it though and he'll buy...

Managed to get the images from the website, so here are my new rings I love them both, not what most people who know me would expect but never been one to following convention! Lol

You're welcome, just hope you like it. Pix :)

This is not my recipe, found it on here but it's the one I use. It's very yummy, we all like it in my house. Even my OH who doesn't like BBQ sauce. free bbq sauce SYN FREE BBQ SAUCE BBQ sauce recipe you will need 1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped 1 tsp mild chilli powder 227ml/8fl oz...

Me again! Not quite the same as the stuff out the bottle, I think it tastes better. You can leave the chili powder out but I like it with a little kick.

Hi Cai Well tbh me and OH couldn't decide on 1 ring so we've chosen 2! They're not real diamonds but I love the rings! That makes 4 he's bought me now! Lol! I'll post some pics so you can have a look.

Hi Emmy Noticed you said you were thinking about BBQ sauce, how about syn free BBQ sauce it's lovely! Especially if you stuff the chicken with some of your hex a, wrap it in bacon and then have BBQ sauce on top! Pix

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Positives for today 1, applied for job 2, even though the application was really long winded I tried not to get stressed 3, had a lovely syn free chicken kebab for dinner 4, finally chosen my new ring! 5, enjoyed a nice relaxing day with Joe (OH) Starting to feel much better today! Woohoo!

Oops! Been a bit busy with life. Have been 100% on plan for 2 days now and feeling better for it. Just wish this cold would chuff off, still making me feel rubbish. Looking forward to tonights tea. SW burgers, SW chips, salad and SW onion rings. Yummy! Best do my positives before I get told...

And so you should shout it from the rooftops or wherever you fancy! I get overexcited about these 'non-important' things too! But we all have our own little victories that mean a lot to us. Woohoo to you!

Hi Josie! Well done on making the decision to change your life! I know what it's like to have problems with clothes - just shopping in fat womens shops (as I call them). But I can say that after a few months on slimming world I'm healthier, happier and smaller! Keep it up!! If you want support...

Hi mariavon All I can say is wow! Losing 6 stone lost is amazing, hoping I can say that one day! Glad to see you're back on track and 'sounding' much more positive! I think that January is a tough month for us all so super well done! You're doing fab!

Hi majella Well done on your loss! Your first post on the diary was very open and honest, I think that's the best way forward for the journey. I hope you don't mind but I would love to follow your journey and offer support when/if I can. Good luck and you can do this!

Hi Minky I found your diary and decided to have a little read. You're doing so well!! I love the mix of humour and heart breaking reality. Some days I could've written those posts myself. Hope you don't mind but I'll be following your downward journey to a dinky Minky! Keep going, you can do...

Thank-you Jackie! I'm glad to have the few I have supporting me. Well I must've done pretty well in the telephone interview as I have a face-to-face interview on Monday! Very scary but also very exciting! The only thing is I have to travel into London but as I had to do it for OH Xmas do I...

Glad you found your mojo again, think it must've been hiding in the same place as mine! Only just got mine back on Monday after a 2 week-ish blip. Still that blip is over and now we can both continue on our journeys to happier, healthier and slimmer versions of ourselves. :D

Hi Bubs I just wanted to let you know you're not alone! You're doing fab honey! Hope to follow your progress in the 'downward' direction. Pix

Hi Lily Wow! You are amazing. It's taken me a few weeks to read your diary from start to finish and it was well worth it. No matter what is happening you manage to pull yourself back together and get right back on plan, a true inspiration! I can't believe how far you've come and I know that you...

Right, I'm ready to get back on plan 100% in the morning! Head is screwed on the right way now. I accept we all have blips and I've just had one, time to move on! Onwards and downwards!

I've fallen off the wagon a little. Not too bad but think I need to get rid of all this unhealthy stuff so I can refocus and get 100% back into it. So I've set myself the weekend of finishing up and then back as of Monday - though I'm still not being that bad! I think one of the reasons for the...

Hi Jackie Yeah I'm ok, taking everyday as it comes. I'm sure you would be able to follow a pattern -they're really easy once you get the basics down. Pix

Just finished the hello kitty bumblebee, not 100% happy but it's ok.

Hi Jackie I hope that you're feeling ok now after your fall! The hello kitty is hello kitty in a bumblebee costume - she's got antennae, wings and a stripy body. I need to get eyes and a nose so I can finish it. It's very cute. Charlie must have very good taste - I love hello kitty too! I...

Just finished making this square to use as part of my mums christmas pressie, I'm just not sure about it. It's cream but looks an odd colour due to light in living room.

Thanks Hev but I've still got a long way to go, so anywhere in the downward direction is good for me. :D

Hi all 1lb loss for me again. I know that I'm not going to hit my challenge target for Christmas but I'm definitely going to keep going anyway, see how close I can get! Good luck every left to weigh

Meant to mention that Zumba is back on and I'm so glad it is! I really missed it. Who would have thought that I (me) actually enjoy exercising!?! I love my Zumba class full of lovely ladies who support each other, spur each other on - it's great! :D

I've decided that I need to start writing down my food again, last time it really helped. Today's food Breakfast - 2 slices ww bread with baked beans, onions and chili Lunch - speed soup with 1 slice ww bread Dinner - roast chicken, SW chips and a large salad Snacks - 2 x ww crisps (8)...

Oh I forgot to add I lost 2lb this week. Woohoo!

Hi samsmum You're very welcome to pop in any time you like. I know what it's like with dementia my nan had it for about 8 years, it's a terrible illness that steals them away before they're actually gone! Wow, thank-you so much for your kind words, don't think I've ever been an inspiration to...

Hello all Well I think we should all be very proud of ourselves! It's a life time change not a quick fix, something I've had to accept over the past few months - sometimes life gets in the way. I'm reporting in this week with a 2lb loss. Good luck everyone left to weigh. Keep going peoples...

Eventhough the week has been busy with funeral preparations for nan I've managed to be 100%. Not quite sure how but i have, let's hope it shows on the scales in the morning. Fingers crossed! We finally lay her to rest on Wednesday. R.I.P Nan. X

Thank-you for my slimmer of the week! As I don't attend a class it's my first! :) Sx

Well despite all of my good work it's a STS for me. However, it is * week, just gotta keep going.

Hello all I'm reporting in with a sts. I've been really good but * week has started! So I suppose a sts isn't so bad. Good luck those left to weigh. S x

Thank-you ladies! Jackie - she's got plenty of company up there. She's got my other nan, my dad, granddads and my best friend. Before she got dementia she was the life and soul so I know that she'd be happy and pain free! Anyways, no matter what has happened this week I've stuck to plan 100%...

Nan passed away at about 1 this afternoon. At least she's not in pain any more and at peace. RIP Nan x

Not much food today not that hungry but must try to eat more, eating less just results in a gain or migraine neither of which I want! Anywho ............... Brunch - left over quiche with ww crisps (3.5) Snack - toast with a scrape of low fat spread (2.0) ww crisps (4.0) Dinner - jacket...

Thank-you Cai but I had a hefty gain the week before so maybe some of it was water?! Still I'll take it! Lol! :) Onto this weeks food Breakfast - blueberries, strawberries and raspberries with fat free vanilla yoghurt Lunch - roast pork and onion sandwich with a little squirt of BBQ sauce...

Food today was good although had my normal naughty Saturday night dinner (synned of course or at least within my limit). Just got in from a friends party, no alcohol, I drove, and my lovely friends always do loads of yummy food. She was really kind and did a platter of strawberries, blueberries...

Hi Jackie It's really lovely of you to stop by! I've been reading your diary and know that you're going through a rough time, so I really appreciate your thoughtfulness! Don't ever doubt yourself because from what I see of you you are a wonderful caring person who looks after everyone. Don't...

Food today Turkey rasher and boiled egg sandwich Apple Jacket potato with cheese and onion and baked beans Pear Syns - crisps 7

Sorry all I was meant to weigh in yesterday and it was a mammoth gain of 3lbs! We were away last week so I put it down to the 3 course meal I ate and chronic constipation (didn't go for 5 days! Eek) Am 100% back on plan, although it's difficult because my nan is in hospital and it's not...

Well am home safe and doing the only thing I can, make sure that I look after my mum whilst she is spending 12+ hours sitting at nans bedside. Despite all this I turned down a takeaway tonight. My brother has been taking care of our kitten whilst we've been away and was at my house, I walked in...

Great way to almost end my holiday. My mum has just phoned and said that they have put nan on end of life care, they're not sure when she will pass, or if she will get better? No-one knows! The antibiotics are not working. Don't know what to do! :(

Oh also had a binge tonight at least half a cucumber and a massive bowl of lettuce. :)

Thanks Cai! Am back to 100% back on plan now. I roughly worked out all the syns for the week including the meal and am still under. I've been really good and am still hoping for a loss on Monday.

Well tonights dinner was definitely off plan! We decided to go out for a meal as it's OH and his dads birthday next week. We went to a tiny pub in the middle of nowhere and it was beautiful. Log fires burning, welcoming barmaids/waitresses. Food was very yummy too. I had prawns and smoked...

Jackie - the pancakes were ok. Think I need a bit of practice at cooking them as I burnt mine still tasted fine though. After a cooked brekkie we are now off for a very long walk. Hope all is well S x

Well got to Devon safe and sound. MiL has even asked me to tell her what I can and can't eat. We went for a walk after dinner which was turkey bolognese followed by low fat ice cream. We bought low fat sausages. She's even going to let me cook curry tomorrow night, am going to do mushy pea curry...

Woohoo! On my way to Devon! I'll try and be good! Also going to try and pop on here of I can. S x

Thank Cai! Ermm so food today was not great, preparing to go away, out tonight so .... Not a lot went in Breakfast - American style pancakes (stolen from jackies thread, thanks Jackie) with bacon Dinner - jacket potato with pork onion cheese and beans That's all....whoops! Been so busy was...

Woohoo well done on the 4lb loss! Have you thought about maybe doing ee days when you go on your day trips and maybe having a pasta salad to fill you up and stay on plan? Just an idea. Good luck for the rest of the week! :)

Hi sugar The flu jab can make you feel pretty rubbish. Just take it as easy as you can and keep up the fluid intake. On the note of green tea I really like twinnings green tea with jasmine, really yummy. Look after yourself.

Just got in from Zumba and now waiting for my red pork chili and chips to heat up. Must've sweated at least a stone at Zumba lol yeah I wish ;) Shame that my instructor is away next week and maybe the week after and I can't stand the woman who covers her classes. Here's to another good week -...

Just got in from Zumba class. Now to relax have some dinner. :)

Just made a red pork chili with the leftovers. It smells good, should be nice and comforting in this slightly chilly weather. Going to have it with SW chips when I get in from Zumba! I loooooove Zumba!

Going to try hard again this week but am away for a few days with the in-laws. Food might be an issue but going to try and limit the damage! Good luck everyone! We can do this! :D

To add to this i have even offered to cook but all she says is no thank you dear you're on holiday - I explained I didn't mind but still got told no. Ahhh well ill try my best

Hi jackie I really want my 3 stone shiny but unfortunately it's a case of get what I'm given or starve. My MiL is not a great cook and she's very set in her ways so will not cook/prepare me anything different (not that I would ask her too!) I'm going to do lots of walking and fit in any...

Breakfast - boiled egg, bacon and sauté potatoes. Followed by a kiwi fruit. Lunch - pastrami, cheese, gherkin and onion sandwich. Crisps 6.5 syns. An apple Dinner - not sure yet something involving left over pork from last nights dinner

Hi all It's 2lb off for me the week. I'll update my stats soon. Good luck everyone else left to weigh! Pix :)

Hi Jackie Thanks for the encouragement and hugs! I posted the kfc recipe above. My nan will never be 100% but we're just trying to make comfortable, she's 85 and in constant pain but not well enough to operate on, she's just not strong enough to cope with the anesthetic. Just got to try and do...

Well Nan just needs more pain meds, so not too much to worry about in the grand scheme of things. Still a bit worried that I've really not eaten that much today might fit in a few free snacks but if I don't I'll try not to stress about it. WI day tomorrow :eek: Hoping I've done enough to...

Not a lot today as nan is not well, currently waiting for an emergency doctor. Breakfast - boiled egg and bacon sandwich Snack - apple and cheese Crisps 6.5 Eel mayo 0.5 Dinner will be pork roast dinner with loads of veggies

Hi meow I've just stumbled across your diary, so now someone is reading it! I think you should go to the doctors or maybe a health clinic to get some contraception. There are forms available that do not make you gain weight. My pill didn't make me gain. Also I know how you feel with the...

Decided to have a day off from Zumba, one day out of 7 can't be bad. I still did my circuit but feeling a bit meh today. I'll get back on the Zumba train tomorrow.

Well quite proud. Done my Zumba and circuit again today. I'm keeping this up and the only person surprised is me! My OH said to me tonight have you lost loads this week as your face looks much thinner this week, or as he put it less roundular (it's a word in our house lol!). Going to keep...

Mini-circuit done. Had an NSV today. My friend gave me a pair of size 14 jeans and today I did them up and they fitted. I looked in the mirror and thought "who's legs are they?" lol! I'm pretty sure I'm not a proper size 14 in most shops but I've never been that size in all my adult life...

Zumba done! 'hand slips Gordon ramsay style' :p I really want a good loss this week. I hope I get it with this new exercise regime I've set myself!

Resisted all temptation at darts tonight even though the hot chicken and wedges kept being put on front of me! It wasn't easy but I did it. I also won my singles game woohoo! Will do Zumba after OH has gone to bed. Pix :D

Jackie - I find the classes better than the wii as you tend to push yourself harder and work for longer, but that's just me. I think you've got to find an exercise that's fun for you whether it be Zumba or walking. Zumba is right for me because I love it and it keeps me coming back, I really...

Just got back from Zumba! Woohoo I love it! I'm knackered and really sweaty but it's so much fun. The only thing I didn't enjoy wad I was on my own, none of my friends were there this week due to other commitments but I'm quite proud of myself for going in my own. Dinner is cooking now and...

Sometimes when it comes to * week you can feel hungrier and almost like nothing satisfies you. Other times you can not be hungry at all. I think it really depends on the person and what your body is doing at the time. That's my experience anyway. Keep up the good work!

Yep having a pretty good week. WI Monday. Eek. :)
