I'm on day 4 and feeling really positive. I have eaten things that are not particularly healthy - like a bag of crisps and a chocolate biscuit- but on the whole I am eating when hungry, eating healthy food, have walked for 30 mins on 3/4 days and am drinking lots of water It is such a relief to...

Hello Healthy Eating People I am sure like a lot of you my story is not a new one I started to put weight on about the age of 8-10 - I put it down in retrospect to 2 broken family situations (my Mum got divorced twice and I lost contact with my biological Dad at the age of 7) I genuinely...

Gosh I can really relate to what you all say - we have to change habits and attitudes, not be on a diet. I have been fat since about 10 years old and constantly on and off a diet since about 14 I think - I joined this forum for Slimming World but I have realised that the only way is getting fit...

Not been very good at keeping my diary updated Today - extra easy I think Brekky mango, pineapple, 0% greek yogurt (Asda now doing their own brand-lots cheaper than total) and HEB all bran golden crunch Lunch jacket potato, cottage cheese and salad tea home made thai cod fishcakes and stir...

Hiya Corky-my WI is Wednesday- and everyone has permission to chase me down if I disappear! I confess- too much booze at the weekend- I need to have 3 really good days now and get my behind to the gym!

Hi all - sorry haven't been around had an upset tummy for a few days so can't say have really been on plan, haven't eaten much! 3lb loss this week which I'll take and plan for a good week Good losses tinselers x

Yesterday I behaved like a normal person without a weight problem...... Stuck to plan all day and ate properly - got in from cinema and had only had 3 syns. Hubby had bought a huge swiss roll and I had seen it and said no, not having any. he then said why don't you have some and syn it- so I...

Ok yesterday - didn't have 2 HEA (hubby made mash just with the milk and it was fine) but that's ok can have 1 HEA on Green Syns - I had 1 chocolate (3 syns) and a 50g slice of swiss roll - actually weighed! - 9 syns (was lovely and a real treat) so 12 syns total Today it is Extra Easy brekky...

Well done! I'm back and back on track - feels so much better to be in control

Lost in the wilderness of wine and takeaway :8855: Oh I've been rubbish - I have though really analysed my behaviour in the past though and realised I always do this. I start off well, get about a stone off, start feeling better and then go back to bad habits - well not this time. I am back on...

Hellloooooo I'm here!!!! Did ya miss me :wave_cry: Sign me up please Corky - I have just repeated my usual SW pattern of getting nearly a stone off, feeling better and then crashing and burning.........I refuse to do that again Last weigh in was at a morning class pre breakfast 3 weeks ago-...

Hi all Have had a rubbish couple of weeks but not done too much damage - back on plan now. I need to plan properly and not get takeaway when I am too tired or bored. Feeling remotivated - I'll leave my weight loss where it is on the board and update as soon as I get past that Hope everyone...

Thanks Lottie Bodypump was great but then I couldn't move for the next 2 days so no Aqua or Zumba :rotflmao: Haven't really been on plan the last few days - succumbed to Easter hot cross buns and chocolate and as I have been off work have been drinking far too much wine.....very enjoyable but...

Aw glad you are feeling better hun Don't beat yourself up about the last few weeks - you can tell how much you have changed your attitude because you have kept posting - whereas (if you are like me) all the trials would have been an excuse to give up. You are still here and you will shift that...

Durrr- forgot to do the pancakes! Had quite a lot of wine yesterday but food pretty good - really need to focus now Am going green today Brekky Banana and 0% total yogurt with cinnamon lunch superspeedy tomato soup with 2 slices wholemeal (2 HEB) and 4 syns of light butter tea broccoli...

Planning for tomorrow Breakfast - magic pancakes made with a fruity oat so simple ( I will have half so 3 syns) and some banana, greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey (1 syn) Lunch- going to my mums but she is doing a SW friendly roast and starter and I am taking a 1/2 syn roulade made with syn...

Have a great break pd- and don't worry about slow and steady. It wins the race! All those ones and halves do add up and you are 1/3 of the way there already

Well done for getting back on track- it's funny isn't it how our bodies and tastes change- and how too much unhealthy food doesn't taste or feel good anymore

Do it now Lottie- it's really encouraging to see the difference

just updating my stats after 3 months Lost nearly a stone and my initial stats were Bust - 48" rib cage 42" now 47 and 40 Waist 47" now 45 Hips 54" now 50.5 No wonder I am now fitting in smaller clothes!

Right - am trying 5 days of EE Breakfast banana, strawberries, fat free natural yogurt with a little sweetener and cinnamon Lunch am making the syn free tomato soup and will have that with 1 slice wholemeal batch bread (HEB) edit: was starving when I came in from the gym and so had some...

Well done for some great losses guys - people are doing so well here. Lucia, Hazey, Lottie - brilliant. You really make me determined to do this - would love a bigger loss and I know that I can do that if I stick to plan Rozieee- never apologise to us, you do an amazing job and we are all very...

oh well at least you know now -get well soon hun x

Well been to town with friends. Had a skinny vanilla sugar free latte so that is my hea. Sliver of choccy at Jo Malone maybe 2 syns as very dark and good quality. Wagamama had ginger chicken udon with less oil still maybe 5 syns for oil but everything else free. Had edamame free. 1 beef skewer...

Oooh have read books 1 and 2 and am halfway through 3 - fantastic but I just can't see how this will end happily!

Slight change of plan Still extra easy HEA - milk HEB - Hifi bar Had a segmented red grapefruit for breakfast - was really yummy Will edit later for lunch and tea

Hey hun - sorry you haven't been well. Back on it with a vengeance and you'll get a good loss this week. Don't disappear from the 6 stone thread- I do know what you were saying and it seems to have all calmed down now anyway xx Must pop to the book thread I am on Book 3 of the Hunger Games...

Hi dexters and jane- welcome. Lots of support here - keeps me going when I have had a pants week Mandy - if you are hungry you should eat. You had very few cals there - just some lean protein and veggies - you won't have done yourself any harm at all. Personally I wouldn't eat a massive plate...

No - nice and calm. let's keep it that way:D

No need to feel embarrassed - lots of us have been trying,dropping off and starting again What matters is that you are here now and determined - don't give up and keep on going this time

I think it depends on what it is - so if you have wholemeal bread it would be ok to just count the extra syns if you have large slices rather than 400g - or the choccy weetabix. I do it with the porridge sachets - the fibre and fat is the same so I am just counting the extra sugar as syns - but...

Well done on your shiny You have nothing to be sad about- you are doing amazingly well. It's a well known fact that men lose more quickly- they have less fat and more muscle mass and remember that a first week loss is a lot of water. 1-2 lbs a week is where you should be!

wenchie- that's amazing. I can't say how much inspiration posts like this give me and everyone else on this site Well done you

I have had a look and although I agree you are sticking to plan I know the one thing that really gets my weight loss going is veg. I know you have salad but I don't see lots of green and leafy veggies- when i have good losses I have been having really good portions of things like broccoli...

Hellooo all. Lost 2lbs this week to squeeze me into the 15s (by 1/2lb!)- haven't been here for a while so looking forward to zooming down into the 14s.

Right - went to morning class and got 2lbs off. Need a good week to get my stone (only 1/2 lb needed but will be back in the evening class next week) Green day today for a change brekky hifi bar (HEB) lunch jacket potatoes with cottage cheese and massive salad (lettuce, rocket, pepper...

Hello everyone. 2lb off for me this week- just 1/2 lb to go to my first stone- so am a month behind but then Feb was a maintain month so I am ok with that Wow - look what happens when I disappear for a few days ;) Just want to say that I love this board because of the way people are supportive...

2 off for me lovelies - so bye bye! See you all soon in the 15s I hope

Aw never mind Emmey hun- that will be off in no time. Your body doesn't like losing weight when you are ill xx

Ooh I've been busy and really bad at doing my diary - 1/2 off this week- I haven't been 100% and so not surprised. Still a loss though so all good Today is Red Brekky muller greek (1/2 syn) HEb All Bran golden crunch and banana lunch 1/2 pack waitrose lemon and herb chicken (1/2) salad and...

hey guys well done on the losses!! Been sooo busy at work but still managed 1/2lb this week - and my BMI has dropped from 40s to 30s - that feels amazing and like things are really possible Mandy - good news on your results -hope it goes ok Ellen- def agree with you on your dress- I ended up...

Wow guys some amazing losses - well done 1/2lb off for me haven't had the best week so fine with that

We're here - there are loads of good choices you can make on hols. grilled fish, lots of lovely salad and fruit. I have finally got myself out of the attitude that a holiday is all or nothing. This year came back and STS after still having drinkies and some ice creams/puddings but also had lots...

Think I will go red tomorrow Breakfast all bran golden crunch (HEB)with HEA - milk Lunch mixed salad with cottage cheese beetroot (1.5 syns) and 3 pogen crisprolls (HEB) snacks Alpen light bar (3) pineapple yogurt tea steak with roast butternut squash, purple sprouting broccoli Syns used...

Not too bad all things considered pd Back on it and a stonking loss next week!

Dead easy Emmy (my OH actually does it)- get a bag of that tandoori massala spice (you can get it in the world foods aisle or from your local friendly Indian shop), just mix that up with fat free yogurt and a squeeze of lemon juice and chuck it in a freezer bag with your lamb or chicken or...

2.5 off for me- so that feels better Just need 3lbs for my stone now Going for an extra easy today. Am also going to try counting syns from 105 for the week rather than going flexi on the weekend. Brekky 35g porridge HEB with HEA milk and berries Banana and Alpen light cherry bar - 3 syns...

Well done everyone 2.5lb for me this week - just need another 2.5 to drop into 15s and 3 for my stone. Hoping I will be moving on next week to the 15s (no offence guys!)

Hiya Spek Good to see you are getting positive results already. I take it you are doing lots of Extra Easy days so go for lots of superfree Do try and count syns- some people say 105 for the week and just count down I am big on socialising and having a drink with friends but I have worked out...

Hi Elle Never too late- welcome to the crazy house!!! Just think of it in small manageable goals I'm sure the lovely Roziee will be along soon to add you to the list

Hello lovelies Some great losses there and loving the positivity on this thread. I can really empathise with this idea that actually we are just making better choices this time round Lost 2.5 this week - some red days suit me. My BMI is exactly 40 now so my next loss means my BMI will be 30...

Well done everyone - all good losses even if little ones they are a loss Lost 2.5 tonight- so just 3 lbs to go to my stone and 2.5 to be into the 15s

I loooooove that dress Ellen

I do red quite a lot but don't eat tons and tons of meat - my last few diaries show typical red days - and of course you are having bread, cereal bars, Jacket spud etc and not loads of lard so not like Atkins at all I guess I wonder if we all had a bash at that when it was popular! I think...

Looks great I would do your turkey in some kind of tomato sauce - could be spicy tomato/provencal or do the syn free BBQ sauce or diet coke chicken recipe ( I made it the other day but used passata as well loads of spices and paprika and after simmering it for 25 mins I then whacked the heat...

Hmmm- I think there are really good examples of people losing well on all plans. I also think that if you hand on heart do them to the letter (ie stopping when you are full and 1/3 superfree on EE) then they probably are. I do think though they don't all always suit everyone. For example, I...

Hi all Back to my cheerful self again after horrid star week - felt completely irrationally depressed. Had a pizza and cheesecake but since then have been doing red days and am all happy again Well done losers and stick with it for those who have gained or STS I think I have come to the...

Oyyyyyyy you lot - stop talking about pie and crumble when I am being angelic!!! Good luck for WI tomorrow Ems

Feeling really confident that I will have a good loss this week - so that I can kick on and get some of these mini goals. I have done SW before and never got to my Club 10 so that is a key one for me to get to. Busy day at work today and working late so I need lots of stuff with me and need to...

Today - staying Red brekky HEB Allbran golden crunch 30g, muller greek (1/2 syn) and banana lunch quiche with bacon, tomato, onion, pepper, rocket and HEA cheese satsuma tea home made burgers and butternut squash chips with cheesy leeks (made with HEA light soft cheese) HEB 2 slices Hovis...

You are so right on the scale hopping Hope the ear's better soon and you did not go off plan you just had the top end of syns Corky's right you know lol:worthy:

I know hun- thanks.I am pretty sure just fluid retention and hormones but there we go Going to have 3 red days = always lose better on those as a good loss will cheer me up Today will be the day I try diet coke chicken Breakfast fruit and yogurt (1/2 syn) Hifi bar HEA milk lunch SW quiche-...

So depressed this week Had a really good week with lots of exercise and gained a 1lb - I am sure I will lose next week but it feels rotten Had terrible blues and cramps this month so yesterday was a deliberate day off plan - with pizza and cheesecake - got it out of my system I know I need to...

Guys I'm so depressed Had a really good week and put on 1lb - I know logically it is that time of the month (see my diary) but I feel like a big fat failure Got home from class to find my best friend in our lounge saying she is having major marriage problems Not a great day

Loving the new chilled Emmey!!

Oh hun - how disheartening The only thing I can think of is that you are doing such a lot of exercise that you aren't giving your body enough fuel to burn fat - but then I don't know how that ties in with the week you lost 4.5lbs (although if you had little to no protein then that could have...

Helllooooo ladies I am a kindle owner too and love the look of the film so may I join you?? *puts on glasses and sits at front like a swot*

Good luck for WI tomorrow hun Am off to join the book club- if you'll have me!

Ooh lovely - where you off to? Don't worry we'll shout at you!! Plan Plan Plan - that's the key Booooooo :rotflmao: Sounds good - am trying to up my water intake so 2 litres sounds right Lol - good luck

Of course - welcome!! :D We do need a challenge - what shall we do??

I was right - star week arrived today - hoping this doesn't affect weigh in too much Today I have a long day at work but I am armed and ready Old style Mix to Max day(loving the Green at the moment and ties in with it being star week - must have been craving carbs the last few days) Brekky...

Well doneClaire !! :D

It will probably balance out hun - gl for WI Draw a line and restart but maybe you need to think about why you had it? Was it because there was nothing else in? Had you planned meals? There are loads of great recipes for takeaway substitutes so there may be something you could plan for an...

Oh God - I feel fat today - maybe star week is round the corner Does anyone else swing between feeling a million times better and not feeling like anything has changed? Must not be discouraged and stick on plan Today Green Brekky free yogurt, banana and strawberries and 30g All Bran Golden...

Haven't decided if I am Extra Easy or Green today yet So far Brekky 30g All bran golden crunch with 0%total banana raspberries and pomegranate seeds Lunch Tesco prawn and veg sushi box - 1.5 syns (I avoided the choccy - how good am I?) and some mango and apples/grapes (some may be a snack...

Yes it will!!! By the way - apropos your Merlot I found a new smiley for you, Sarah and me for weekends :party0036: Flippin' 'eck - I'll move if you buy Jessie!!!! :D

Hmmm- few too many syns last night (wine and 2 Hifi bars) but I was very low the previous day and went to the gym and did some interval work and crunches so hopefully won't be too problematic. Draw a line - back on it Today - EE HEA - milk Brekky melon and pineapple snack - Hifi bar HEB and...

There is always a massive debate on this. I am sure no nutritionist would say that a fruit smoothie is nutritionally bad for you (they are always recommending them when the nutritionist is on The Biggest Loser etc) - and indeed some people argue that Mullers have lots of chemicals sweeteners...

Another EE today My plan is HEA - 250 mls semi skim milk Breakfast wholemeal roll HEB made into french toast with egg, splash milk, sweetener and cinnamon with banana, mango and 0% total Lunch Grilled mackerel with ginger, garlic and chilli and a salad tea Keema peas and...

Amen to that sisters :rotflmao: WTG Sarah

Claire - deffo use your syns, it is part of the plan and you honestly won't lose any less. You shouldn't need to be hungry on SW - trust the plan and eat until you are satisfied - it does work honest!! Aw Ellen bless him - kids just gravitate towards danger don't they? I remember picking up...

1.5 off for me - 4lbs to go before I am down to the 15s - looks like a whole group of us are there soon Well done to everyone for some great losses

Have something free or superfree first and then have something using syns to settle the craving - you should have your syns (and with the weight we all have to lose no reason we shouldn't have the full 15) What are you craving - sweet or savoury?

Yep - what they said. You are doing great - 2lbs over 2 weeks is a perfectly normal sensible weight loss and look at your overall picture. We know how you feel - we always want more but who knows why the human body works as it does. I always think when you are poorly your body holds onto weight...

Yay - 1.5 off really pleased. If I lost 1.5 every week I would be ecstatic Today am going Extra Easy Breakfast lean bacon on 2 slices hovis wholemeal (HEB) and some mango lunch jacket potatoes and some left over chilli from last night (has lots of tomatoes, onions, carrots in it) and some...

That's why I love this thread- I think we can all relate to the- what is there in my size, does it look vaguely ok mode of shopping I am going to be lethal when I get to a 16 - never mind to target :D

Sooo unlucky - really thought you were going to do it LOL :D Yes you will - and you haven't failed - you are 1/2lb away from an amazing achievement and we will be celebrating next week:553: Thanks for such sterling job Roziee - I am back where I was so won't send a PM. can't promise to be...

Well done all the Wednesday losers!!! All these pounds and 1/2 pounds add up 1 and 1/2 off for me!

Looking good!

Much nicer though - and still free :D

I'm a geezer bird- I'll talk Sat afternoon footy with you. Chesterfield are probably doing better than Villa anyway :rolleyes: See you get it all here- glamourpusses with their lippy and me with the football ;) Lol - nearly made me spit my coffee out with your fatties not faggies peace!! Yay...

At the risk of sounding alcoholic I would always eat less if it meant I could have a drink :D Problem is I normally have the food and the drink hence I am here :8855:

Putting in tomorrow's food as off to work early and back late Extra Easy day Breakfast 2 slices wholemeal bread 400g- HEB 250 ml semi skim milk - HEA lean bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms snack banana and satsuma lunch home made minestrone (as yesterday) muller light fruit after weigh in at...

Errmm - I was offering advice on where you could improve - :confused: was there something specific that didn't make sense or you wanted certain advice on?? :)

Aw hun- it can be frustrating can't it. You could try upping the superfree (I know from my own experience that I don't do well on EE unless I have loads of superfree) Or maybe go red and green - have to say I like the 2 HEAs and 2HEBs on that

Face and the middle bit above the waist and below the boobs!

I love Wagamama too so any info is really helpful Thanks for doing this x

Just had a look on the SW site and the WW yogurts still say free (don't know if they are veggie friendly- sorry!)

Hi York You are right on blending the fruit means syns - the idea is that you could drink lots of smoothies really easily but couldn't eat then same amount so it helps with portion control Food looks good but a few points. EE consists of 3 areas - free foods (including superfree), Healthy...

Green day today so having Quorn peppered steak, potato and parsnip mash (with some light philly) and peas

Well the roulade was a triumph - really yummy and didn't seem low fat. Hubby was impressed -can't believe the whole thing is 1/2 syn. Have just found out that the fat free strawberry Onken is no longer free - do'h:eek: So will need to count 1.5 syns for that today Been to the gym and done an...

Welcome!! Loads of fab Green recipes on the recipe thread :D

welcome Spek - it's so funny how many of our stories are the same. I often read people's diaries and nod in agreement!! You will get there with the help of this site - it's fab

Gotcha Don't laugh - my weekend drinking used to start Thursday and carry on until Sunday - so 2 days is good :D Aw hope he's better soon

Corky- I'm a wine girl. Really good wine. Love it - am trying to cut down to a glass after weigh in and 2 days at the weekend ;-) Mandy- hope your son is ok - poor love Just had my first attempt at 1/2 syn roulade - OMG it was lovely. Even hubby was impressed Now - can someone tell me (or...

Glad you are feeling a bit better - sure you'll have a fab loss this week x

Just catching up - well done to all those who have had good losses or good STS!! Mandy - fingers crossed for you hun, hope all goes well and try not to worry Sarah and Corky - you are not alone in the weekend drinking ....maybe we need to start an AA sub thread here lol :-) Have been a...

Definitely look at averages over the month don't focus on the week to week- I think most people have weeks where their losses really differ - hormonal changes can mean that you gain when it is not * week - just depends on your body And welcome back Sally - sorry for your loss

What an idiot - I am sending karma his way....... Still just think what an amazing loss you will have next week xxx

I know - thinking on it although I wasn't on plan I did have lots of fruit and salad every day (so nice when someone else has prepared it). Lots of fish and seafood. I did have some naughties but not loads in terms of volume. I did 3-4 long walks plus one walk/jog along the seafront so I guess...

good luck :D

Hello again diary -I promise I will be here every day this week I have been away on hols and managed to maintain since last weigh in so really pleased Today I am going RED HEA1- 250 ml semi skim milk HEA2- 5 LC light HEB - 6 Ryvita wholegrain crackerbread HEB - Hifi bar Brekky - breakfast...

Thanks for the welcome back my lovelies - still not quite caught up with everything but I can see some amazing weight losses and I see that I must start watching this programme with Jesse in it lol Well great news- I went back to class last night and have maintained!! Yay - so after a few...

Dear all I'm back from hols!!- back to class tonight and have already joined the gym near home (lovely posh health club with lots of great classes) so am ready for a big push now Don't know what the scales will say tonight after a few weeks off plan and an AI holiday but clothes don't feel too...

Hi all just checking in. Have been mad at work and poorly and not been at class or on plan really. Off on hols on sun so back on plan after that. See you all in 10 days x

I was going to say the same 3 ryvita and lcow are more than 4 syns i think. Which kind of ryvita and which lcow and how many? Are you having lots of superfree Veg with dinner? If you are def on plan ie counting syns properly and measuring hea and Heb then maybe consider trying red and or green...

Awww Roziee don't be sad you are a wonderful inspirational person and you are also human. I think you need lots more free food not just the superfree. Think what you would tell the rest of us.draw a line under it and start afresh xx

It is so great to read your diary and feel all the positive vibes. 6lbs amazing! Great plan for race for life . I can really recommend the nhs couch to 5k podcasts they are really getting me going. I lol'd at your description of running exactly like me at the mo but we have to start somewhere!

Good day on plan yesterday. Syns were .5 or 1 for the cottage cheese Tesco light with sweet chilli yum and then i had a glass of wine 6syns. So no more than 7. Going red today I seem to do better on mix of days. Brekky Banana and Muller Lunch Ham salad sandwich with Heb hovis bread apple...

Get yourself to the doctor Roziee - that doesn't sound good :(

Don't forget that technically if you puree or cook fruit you need to syn it although I know it doesn't affect everyone's losses that is the rule. Sounds yum anyway x

6lb gets me my stone award and down to 15s where i haven't been for a while. Totally achievable in 3 weeks before I go on hols. X

Little gain due to massive illness related loss last week but still 8 off in 3 weeks. 16 5 so will be in 15s before I go on hols on 19feb

I looooove this thread so many inspirational people . 1.5 on for me but I know that is due to a massive sickness related 7 off last week so am actually delighted! 8 lb off in 3weeks x

Little 1.5 gain but am fine as lost 7lb last week and was really sick. Back on track and better now. Well done all the losses and chin up sts and gainers. X

Well a little 1.5 gain this week but I am fine with that as I was so ill last week so I see it as 5.5 over 2 weeks. Feeling focussed and having a green day for a change. Brekky is Heb 2slices hovis small loaf and a banana with sprinkle of cinnamon Lunch Jacket potato with cottage cheese...

Wtg hun brilliant loss and you have your focus back x

Good luck with the interview vicky. Well done on your loss roziee and hope you feel better soon. Good luck with wi all those weighing today. I am fully expecting a gain after being so sick last week but am fine with that as long as not too much x

Good luck for wi hun x

She may not have meant anything other than it was busy - sometimes when we are sensitive about issues we read things into things that are not there. If she was being personal then what a horrible trollish woman she is. She must have real issues with herself to feel the need to be sooooo...

Cheesy mash spaghetti hoops yum

Another who likes to mix and match I just mix them up day to day . I always have better losses with a few red days thrown in but each to their own

Aw hun when we have a tough day it's so easy to go back to old habits. Tell yourself I don't do that anymore. I don't bury my feelings with food. I am sad. It is ok to be sad. Eating rubbish won't make me feel better. Whatever takeout you fancy there will be a low syn version on here. Be strong...

Good for you. It is amazing how when we have been doing it for a while we guess and estimate. Back on plan and you'll do great next week x

Welcome sally sure you won't be here long

Thanks hun x if I can even maintain next week I will be pleased. Still not 100% but back to work as so busy. Planning a very light food day probably green so as not to upset my poorly tummy. Managed a small banana for Brekky. Will have some ryvita and philly light for lunch and maybe some...

7 lbs off x

Lost 7 lb but some of that due to being ill still down to 16.3.5 x

Haven't been on since Mon as cane down with horrid stomach bug Monday night. Have just weighed in and lost 7 lb but some if that is def illness as have barely eaten for 48 hours

Well lost 7lb tonight but feel a fraud as have been ill and barely eaten for the last 48 hours.

Oh i could be wrong they always were but maybe it changed x

Well off to class soon I have had a horrible sickness bug (and the other end - ss tmi) so I am sure I will have a great loss but having not eaten anything yesterday and just a bit of toast today I feel like a bit of a fraud

Sometime if I am short of time I have a banana and a Hifi bar Fruit and 0% greek yogurt Oats so simple or dorset porridge sachets I like the new All bran golden crunch

Oh noooo- how long have you worked there?

Yay - you came to join us welcome welcome :bighug:

You are still on plan and may still get a good loss. Just a thought (do feel free to ignore me!) but do you think when you tell yourself you are keeping syns low you self sabotage? Do you actually eat fewer syns when you allow yourself 15? The mind is a funny thing. On another note have you...

Found another 6 stone thread member. You are doing great. It was only 1 day with the wine I do that too. Just draw a line and back on it and you will still get a good loss x

Oh I like the idea of getting to know each other. I'm Sarah I am 39 and have dieted for as long as I can remember. I was a perfectly normal child until about 9 or 10 I think when I started to put weight on. It remember being teased at school but I did lots of dance so was just a bit chubby. I...

Wtg dory fantastic loss and i think you did really well at the buffet x

Thanks guys. Today has not got off to a good start. Waiting at bus stop and no bus which means I will be late for work. Grrrrr Brekky Hifi bar and coffee Heb and hea milk Lunch 4ryvita heb and hea lc light Tomato Ham and roast beef Grapes Muller light Snack Banana Tea Home made syns free...

Looking good and ignore the scales!!!

Lol and me! I have these vest things from a company called sportsjock and nothing goes anywhere. Takes about 5 mins of wrangling to get in it lol. Surprisingly not feeling too achey today but can feel I did some exercise

Great losses I know it isn't really following the plan but I always relax a bit at the weekend (bizarrely if I do have a week when I don't have my few drinks a a bit of a treat I don't lose as much). I genuinely think it helps me stay on track the rest of the week and therefore I naturally eat...

Aw Minky it is frustrating when you know you are doing it right. I am sure you will get a really good loss next week. You aren't being too strict with yourself are you? Enough syns etc?

Well have had a slightly more relaxed Fri and Sat but haven't gone mad Back on it to the letter for the next 3 days to weigh in Today will be a red day Brekky melon,mango and papaya with total 0% lunch veggie soup (home made) and roast beef sandwich (2 slices hovis 400g - HEB) with salad...

Good luck -2 is perfectly achievable

Weekends are always tough for me I like socialising I love drinking great wine and I even like feeling a little bit drunk! I know all the advice about what do you want more but what I want is to lose weight and still have a fun weekend. I am happy if that means my weight loss is slower but I do...

Well done everyone especially vicky .. See you soon in 15s i hope

I think it might also be that you can be 3 lb out of target but once you are a target member you don't pay so what would stop me from setting target at 16 stone then going 3 lbs under then setting target and so on and so on and never paying again!

Had a really good day today Green Day (for a change) Brekky - banana sandwich 2 slices wholemeal from 400g Hovis (HEB) banana quark with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sweetener HEA - 250 ml semi skim milk for coffee (but prob won't use it all) Lunch 2 small baked potatoes cottage cheese (syn...

I'm making a ratatouille pasta bake with HE cheese

Please may i join you all. I have read through the whole thread and keep nodding, agreeing laughing and filling up a bit. Clare your post about just gaining weight through the 20 and 30s is my story. I have lost count of the times I joined sw and gave up. Well last time. Enough now. I have 10...

Omg predictive text. I don't know where the word abduction came from. I'm not some crazy ...honest!! Should have said last week lol

Hi rejoined and started at 16 13 abduction lost 2.5 this week. Hoping i will be pushing down into 15s soon . Lots of inspiration here x

Lost 2.5 this week . First week after rejoin. I am the same as selena you always secretly want more but that is ok. Slow and steady. Well done to all losers lol. Keep going sts and gains stay positive we know it works x

Yeah - thanks Emmey We'll get there!!

I have just read through all your diary. You are doing so well and I am looking forward to dropping down the stones with you. I have 7 stone to lose. X

Lost 2.5 so really good start. There's always a little bit of you that wants more but i need to remind myself that has been painless. I have had wine and g and t. I have had chocolate and a chicken kebab. 2lbs a week is 104 in a year which is 7 stone which is practically where i want to be.

Omg thur and Fri should be say 9 syns lol cannot imagine no syns lol. Feeling really excited about wi as i know i have given it a good go

Well done you! First weigh in after rejoin for me tonight so would be delighted with similar x

Have had a pretty good week so far. Thursday and Friday on plan and stuck to no syns. Sat and sun fine on food but a bit flexi on wine. Pretty pleased though as we got takeaway on sun and i had a grilled chicken kebab with lots of salad and mint sauce and only a v thin wrap. Bang on plan...

Good luck for tomorrow seems like you have had a good week so the scales should be kind x

You and everyone else I bet - it will be gone soon I've gone back to class and am having a lovely January fresh start - need lots of motivation to get to my target this year as I am 40 in November - will be checking in often!

Well I sort of collapsed pre Christmas Back to class today and have rejoined and bought a countdown - 12 weeks 6 weeks to my hols and this is the year I am 40. I will do this Am going to give it 100% this week and have a fridge full of fruit and veg

well 3lb off this week - very chuffed! Have decided that green and red work better for me with maybe the odd extra easy thrown in

well done! 3lb off for me so feeling really motivated - lets get back on it this week

Got a decent loss at last! 3lb off this week after a small loss and small gain Starting to head down the 16s

well done everyone - 3lb off for me - yay!

Good luck True Blood and Dragon Tattoo books are all great - I did the same thing after Twilight!

Extra Easy today HEA - 250 ml semi skim milk HEB - 4 Ryvita Brekky mango and total 0% yogurt lunch 4 Ryvita, v low fat cottage cheese, wafer thin ham, chicken, carrots, grapes, banana Tea lamb curry and rice (hubby will make but def SW free food and will have lots of veggies in it) might...

It works -amazing!!! Loved it -thanks so much

Sorry you have been having a rough time but you kept posting and you got through it - well done Am equally excited about Twilight - we are off to the Electric cinema on Sat to watch from the comfiness of a squishy sofa! I so know what you mean about sweet cravings- tonight I made a meringue...

Well I am back after a birthday week that stretched on a little shall we say..... I have been totally off plan but had fun - went back to class yesterday ( I was at work the week before) and had only gained 1lb so not too bad Back where I started but am determined to do better now! I am not...

No I would think it would just be the porridge oats- the eggs should be the liquid although if you think it is a bit sticky you could add a little water or fat free yogurt

wow vicki - amazing loss well done you! Well done agingrockchick -will be following you soon!!

Don't worry you are doing great - and isn't it funny how a SW binge is 15 syns whereas pre SW it could have been 150 syns!!! Hope your little one is ok

I hope so Emmey Anyway have had a couple of days not really on plan (with some drinks and chocolate and ice cream) but enjoyed it! Back on plan now - am going to have some bacon,beans, mushrooms and tomatoes for brekky and off to look for some nice recipes for the rest of the week

Aaaah -get well soon I have had a couple of days not really on plan (some nice cocktails and ice cream last night!!) but enjoyed every minute and didn't go mad. Back on plan with a vengeance now until wednesday weigh in

well done on all the losses first week and lost 1lb - slightly disappointed but still in the right direction

well done -and good luck for this week

Well done - remember you were gearing up for STS so .5lb off is fine - and new jeans!!! You have lost such a lot is such a short time you should not be disappointed

first weigh in Drum roll............................ 1lb off Seriously??? I have stuck to it totally so a bit disappointing. The last time I did SW and had a week without much drinking and did it properly I had a small loss too. I know it will catch up next week but it does seem to me I...

1lb after first week - I don't think my body works when I give up drinking! Still it's a lb in the right direction - well done laia and katoof

Yayyy - go you!!

Bye Terri and well done Katoof - me too - I'm a Wed weigher and first weigh in tonight - eek. I know I have been 100% - I feel thinner - but what will the scales say??

Hiya How do you make the cheese and potato pie - sounds lush - and does it have syns or was that your 21g of cheese. I might give that a go

Hi Julie and welcome! I have done WW too in the past - you will love SW much more!!!!!

Some of those meals look great - and don't beat yourself up about KFC it was just one meal and you got back on track Have you thought about padding out breakfast with some more stuff -like fruit and yogurt? Extra easy is supposed to work best when you have lots of superfree food - and you can...

Hi Rach Stick at it - it is disheartening when recipes don't work - we all have those disasters! I am sure your friend doesn't mind you texting but there is loads of support here as well I would just get some ideas from other people's diaries and the recipe section but keep it simple and stick...

OK - have decided to keep all my menus and thoughts on one place rather than a separate food and weight loss diary I switched today's tea to jacket potatoes with tuna and quark and a huge mixed salad instead of fish cakes as I was starving and couldn't wait to cook properly Syns today - 3 syns...

Thanks guys - I'm thinking maybe I should put my food diary and weight loss diary all in one - I'm sort of switching between 2 at the moment so will transfer everything to the weight loss one I think Rach - I think it can be difficult when the novelty of the first week wears off - start...

Thanks guys - yes I am going to group as it is really the only way I can stay focused. I need that accountability! Fingers crossed for a good loss but hey anything is fine - the weight took years to accumulate so may take a while to go too I have started a diary and will update my signature...

Good for you - I am sure you will do it. How great that your DH is supporting you. I have tried many times to do this on my own but I honestly find that going to group really helps and keeps me on the straight and narrow

Just thought I should add in my measurements as well - should have done them at the very start but better than never Bust - 48" rib cage 42" Waist 47" Hips 54" My goodness - I am actually a rectangle. Hilarious - I always think of myself as curvy hourglass goddess type - but I have been...

Well I am nearly at the end of week 1 - I have stuck to it 100% and had 2 glasses of wine all week ( I can usually do 2 bottles at a weekend!) I feel thinner - but my scales and Wii fit aren't really showing a loss - I know I should pay no attention and rely only on formal WI at class but it is...

Dear Emmey Just wanted to say that I have just rejoined and have read all your diary - as so much of what you say resonates with me. I am a serial scale hopper and although I feel thinner nearly at the end of week 1 my scales show no loss and I am trying not to get stressed - have stuck to it...

What a great start - well done

Hi Just thought it would be good to start an online food diary as well as my paper ones I am doing for group

Thank you all - wow some really impressive weight losses there!

Hello all I am new to the forums but not to SW. I know the plan works but I have just given up too easily in the past - the usual excuses, I'm too busy, I can't give up socialising, it's too much effort, I can do it on my own etc etc Well I say enough is enough - I am 39 in a few weeks and...

Hi I am a long term slimming worlder - but have always given up in the past - never got to more than 1.5 stone off - and really I need to lose 6 or 7 I have rejoined last week with my sister in law and am really determined but need all the help I can get to stay on track Just looking at...
