Well done bexy, that's fab. So close to your two stone award.. Yay! :-) x

Don't let that one pound dishearten you, you'll easily get that off. :-) it is so hard when there's social events especially with Christmas coming up. This is something that is also a battle for me. I go with the best intentions of being good but then it doesn't happen. X

That is going to be the challenge, Saturday hangover but I've got the lean bacon is ready and I'll have a bacon sandwich for breaky but keep it on plan. I'm thinking ahead. ;-) we are going to the theatre on Saturday so another busy weekend, it was ok last weekend coz people came over to ours...

It's loads better today thanks bexy. :-) its really hard with social things and we have got alot this month, particulary a big girls night out on Friday, It's actually a fire man's full monty night which they do every year for charity and it's a fantastic lady's night. There is 11 of us going...

Ok so big update as I've not been on here since Thursday. Unfortunately the diet went a little to pit from thursday because I woke up on Friday and could barely pick my son up had really sharp pains and spasm in my back so went to the physio and I had pulled a muscle in my shoulder that is the...

So food good today and for tea I had SW chilli and rice, all free foods. :-) Had a cup of tea and a curly wurly afterwards... They are so yum and soooo worth 6 syns. So total syns: 11 Slightly more than I wanted to have but so worth it. wish I knew how to get rid of these chocolate...

Mom they sound yum? Could you have one and syn it. Temptation is so hard. I couldn't eat lots of chocolate at the minute but I'm learning to have some will power and just have 1 mini one. I WILL RESIST!! Haha. X

Did you have your crisps? If you want them have them but count them in your syns. I find when I really want something I can't stop thinking about it till I have it. Also try and go for a lower syn packet. :-) x

I think like the others have said you just have to find what works for you. I do extra easy and I pretty much have my super free for breakfast and lunch but don't always bother for my evening meal as feel like I've had enough in the day. I'm just starting to mix it up a little with the odd red...

I didn't have the qualifications either as I did rubbish at school but always wanted to be a nurse worked different rubbish jobs for a while and in the end I went back to college and got the qualifications then went to Uni, I'm glad I did it a bit later coz don't think I would of been ready when...

Hello, Just been reading through your thread. Don't be disheartened I was a little off track for almost 1 month would be good in the week then from Friday onwards bad but for a few weeks I didn't gain then I had a big gain and that gave me the kick up the bum I needed to get back on track...

I'm a nurse so a busy job and I'm so busy now I sometimes joke how I'm going to find the time to go back to work. It's amazing how you manage to fill your time. but I do love my job to. I saw on your thread that you are just in the process of buying a new house, how exciting. When will you be...

I had a lovely day today, I'm still on maternity leave and I just love spending time with my little boy he is so happy and he is learning so much everyday, he's crawling now and today I popped him in his cot while I got dressed and when I went back in he was standing up. I've just been sorting...

Ooh your dinner sounds yum did you make your own sauce for that? I got a pair of 14 jeans from next the other week! :-) its a shame not every where cuts the same. X

I'm not sure of the syns for the sausage roll but don't let this dishearten you, just get back on it and be good and plan for a good day tomorrow. :-) x

Dinner was yummy had cod, new potatoes and lots of veg, carrots, peas, cabbage and broccoli. Yum. Just thinking now about how to spend a couple of syns as only had one so far. Although it'll be on chocolate. It's strange coz I have always loved chocolate but only ever craved it when it was...

Haha *chic* is ment to be choc.... I certainly don't won't a hot chic!! Haha. X

Yay completely back on it today, I felt horribly bloated this morning and I don't want to feel like that, the chocolate and curry is so not worth it. Food so far today has been good, Breakfast; bowl of mixed fruit, melon, pineapple, grapes, strawberry a and blackberries with some onkon apple...

Yea I think I might want to reduce my target then to another 7lb and then that'll be me done coz I definatly wouldn't get to less than that and I know I would be happy there. We have a similar amount then? Are you aiming for a certain time to get to target? I am aiming for about the end of march...

Well done on your loss bex, that's great. Sounds like we are very similar I have 5lb to go to get to my 2 stone award to. How much more do you want to lose after that? I would really like to lose 7lb by Christmas so I clear the 2 stone a little bit just to allow for a pound or two that will more...

Oh good suggestion, are biryani's quite low in syns? You tend to find that you always go for the same thing so it is nice to try something new. Is it alot of rice coz I do try not to have to much rice, pasta etc coz it makes me sooo bloated. X

Oh I'll have a look in BHS for the shoes. Well done on the weight loss. A loss is a loss and it's all the right direction. :-) I'm so excited for Christmas this year to as its my little boys first Christmas, I can't wait. And I'm still off work and my OH will be off over Christmas until the...

Swimming was great yesterday until when we got out the pool I slipped over while holding my little boy. I managed to keep hold of him so he was ok it just it frightened him. I felt so guilty falling while I was holding him and felt upset about it most the day, and I'm covered in bruises! and I...

Have you sinned it, may not be as bad as you think. I blew it last night to, big time. :-( hope you have a good weekend and I wouldn't worry to much about last night, I wish that was all I had had! Haha.

So after my new motivation yesterday tea went to pot last night, won't even go into it coz I've drawn a line under it and moved on. And I payed for it coz I had bad indigestion all night. I've got two days until weigh in so think its just damage limitation the next couple of days. :-( I don't...

Hi Joroger, my dress is called Nora (funny name for a wedding dress.) I love it, sometimes the pics don't do it justice coz it's got lots of detail, crystals and pearls all over the body and you can't see that we'll on the pics. I can't wait to try it on again. :-) So we have about the same...

Yep I would just forget it, you have plenty of time to correct it over the week. You could try and keep your syns on the lower side just to help. X

Mmm think I might order a soup book, I love soups in the winter.. It's just resisting the nice crusty bread with it. ;-) hehe. Well done in the dress, it is a great feeling and now you have the perfect excuse to go shopping. X

How many days have you got to weigh in? Would you be able to flexi syn a little and keep your syns low for a few days? If not then just forgot it and continue to be good until your next weigh. We all have blow outs so don't be to hard on yourself. I've just had one big blow out that's lasted...

I think it happens to the best of us. Don't worry yourself about it it's happened now. Syn it and see what it came to and it might not be as bad as you think. :-) draw a line under it and move on don't let it ruin the rest of your week. X

Ok I'm feeling so much more back in the slimming world zone now, I think getting the call from the wedding dress shop to say my dress is in (wasn't expecting it till feb) has given me the boost I needed. Yipee. Will be trying it on in a couple of weeks so would like to lose between 4 to 5lbs...

Have you weighed in yet? I'm going in abit and I've had a pretty bad week to, but I am hoping to use the scale results today as motivation (pretty sure it'll be a gain). Don't give up because of a bad night and day we all have them and sometimes I think we deserve them, life does go. Good lunch...

Thank you, you are right. I've got to not dwell on it and get back on the straight and narrow. And I'm going to go on lots of walks next week with my little boy, we go on a walk most days anyway but going to make them a little longer next week.
