Awwww thanks everyone, it's so nice to see that I'm not going crazy after all :D ;) Just adding the final few bits to my basket on the bike shop and am ordering tonight. I've decided to spend slightly more as their weight limits are a bit higher so I know it will hold me. Am still getting a fab...

:D well done on the 5lbs loss and even bigger well done on the 50lbs loss total!!! :D That's amazing!!!

OMG!!! That's an amazing loss :bliss: Massive well done, your hard work has seriously paid off for you :D

Brilliant news about the house And even better result for weigh in, that's amazing considering you were expecting more. That will definitely be gone VERY soon :) xx

If I can lose 2lbs this week then that will be my first 1 stone gone :D 3lbs will take me into the 340s which I don't ever remember seeing to be honest :bliss:

I didn't think to take measurements to begin with. But I think I'll do them from today onwards and then do them every 4 weeks along with the pictures. I actually had a comment off Chris' mum that she thought I'd lost weight, which was a very welcome compliment. She said to keep up the hard work...

Might help if I actually share the picture too ;)

Ok I don't know if I'm seeing things but I'm already seeing a difference (or at least think I can)

352 this morning :bliss: So that's a 6lb loss for this week!!!! Will update properly tonight as we've got the in laws here for the day :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Well I have to say this week feels a bit overwhelming in a good sense. I really do seem to have my head screwed on and have got my focus back. I actually spent some of yesterday sat on my mum's bed (which is where the choccie bag is) and I actually resisted getting a bar of chocolate, stuck to...

Hope you have a lovely night away Lisa :D Your food looked great for yesterday xx

Enjoy your weekend with the in laws :) xx

Definitely not easily pleased, I'm looking forward to exactly the same thing. I always seem to wear the same things time and time again because they're "safe" options if that makes sense :) Hope you're having a lovely day and find some bargains in the shops xx

I hope the weather picks up Susie and that you enjoy your weekend :D

Hope everything is ok xx

You're aware of the blended fruit etc syns, but like you say, you want a kickstart and hopefully this will be the thing to do that for you :) Glad you enjoyed lunch Susie :D Hope your weekend is fab xx

They were the ones out of the fakeaway book. I don't know what went wrong but I really didn't like them. The meat I used was tough, it tasted too much of worcestershire sauce and way too many onions :( Had to have another peak at the scales this morning (naughty I know), but was pleasantly...

Oh Lisa :( What a shame you can't find your passport :( Is it something you could book again soon once you find it/get a replacement so that you could have something to look forward to? Well done on staying the same though and here's to a new week :D

I think I'm almost decided on a bike. I've been looking into it for a few days now and there's a site where I can get £52.50 worth of bonus points to spend on anything that I want to. So I was thinking a gel saddle, bottle cage and water bottle. Then get a lock and helmet from halfords so that I...

:bliss: another 100% day :bliss: I "think" I may be getting back into the swing of things finally :D I didn't make lasagne in the end as I discovered that there were no foil trays for freezing them in, so I grabbed a spag bol from the freezer and had that instead Food ended up like this -...

That necklace is so pretty :D Another one who says to step away from the scales, they'll soon be back to behaving :)

Well wine is definitely deserved, getting the job and giving notice is a cause for celebration ;) :bliss:

Well done on coming under your calories :) xx

Yep, definitely don't be too hard on yourself as that can sometimes lead to a vicious circle of comfort eating. You're making good changes. You can't expect to change over night :bighug:

Go with the lunchtime class if it fits in better with your plans :D I've seen so many people using the mayflower curry sauce, I think I need to try this Food pics for yesterday look delicious, and your food plan for today looks fantastic.

Hope you have a great day xx

Yay for a decent night's sleep and feeling loads better today :D I'm sure the extra syns won't do much damage with you having been ill lately xx

Fantastic loss, well done :D

:bliss: another 100% day under my belt and I'm feeling amazing (plus the scales are being very kind considering I've only been 100% for 2 days so far) :bliss: I actually handled things really well down at mum's yesterday. I got there and got my food in the oven then while that was cooking I...

Yikes, that's a lot of steps :eek: but massive well done on them :D Awwww how sweet of your hubby making your food xx

Hope you got a good sleep and feel better today xx

Well done on a great day. Hope that good mood continues :D

Like you say it could be totm gearing up, which could explain the hunger (which will hopefully ease off soon). Hope you have a good day xx

Last night's tea looks delicious Lisa! :D Glad your little man is doing loads better, sorry that he will need surgery though :( Food looks fab for today, your motivation is brilliant xx

My problem at the moment Lisa is that if I have stuff in syns wise then I'll pick at them until I'm way over syns, so for the moment I think the best thing is to just plan them into the day while I get back into the swing of things :D So, yesterday was a big success. The first day in a while...

I don't know how well they'll work, but I'm going to try and beat a tablespoon of nutella in with the egg before mixing with the oats etc and see how that works :) I honestly think the reason I've been slipping up is my lack of planning, hopefully this fortnight will show me that I can make...

358 this morning :eek: so that's 2lb down, which I most definitely wasn't expecting to see, but possibly what I needed to see to help me over the last of my upset from yesterday. I "think" I'm over my wobble and feeling better in myself. And the decision to give it my all for a couple of weeks...

Fantastic loss :D keep it up

Your food looks fab :D I know what you mean about having chunky calves. I ended up buying a pair of Jileon wellies so that I could walk the dog in the woods and not ruin my trainers :o Hope you have a good day xx

Hope you feel a bit better today at the very least xx

I've had wholewheat pasta and rice before and don't mind it too much :) I've just sat down and made a food plan for the next two weeks. Just the evening meals for now, but none of them use my hexb which leaves that free for lunch/breakfast. For next week though I've got planned Monday - kfc...

Massive well done on the inch loss :D Like you say if a day of indulgence works as a reset for you then maybe it would be worth doing a day's worth :) Hope you have a nice day xx

I like the idea of having a large breakfast to try and keep myself fuller for longer. Maybe eggs, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes and that way I could easily save my hexb for a sandwich at lunchtime, rather than having to cook at mum's and be tempted to pick while I'm waiting. I also want to try...

I've got 2 weeks until my online membership to slimming world is due to renew. What I think I'm going to do is get my books out tonight and go over everything and give it my all this next couple of weeks and if I still feel the same then I'll not renew my slimming world membership and start...

I am seriously tempted to do calorie counting as like you both say it could possibly give me the flexibility that I need at the moment. We also have the hairy dieters books and they're all measured in calories, so there's lots of yummy foods for us to try out (I'm particularly wanting to make...

How did the lasagne turn out? Hope you're feeling 100% again asap and the sore throat is gone very soon xx

Well done on the losses Jules, it's good to see you back :bighug:

For the price you'd be looking at for the second house I'd say go for it. Like you say you have friends over there who have done renovations so am sure the work would be in good hands :) Hope you have a lovely day xx

Having a major wobble at the moment and I'm really not sure what to do :( I can't seem to get my head round the fact that I need to follow this properly and I'm literally starting to wonder if maybe it's time to look at something other than slimming world to get the weight gone? I wake up each...

Like you say get back on track tomorrow. Don't beat yourself about having the pizza, at the end of the day it was a special occasion and not something that you do everyday, so shouldn't have an impact on any losses xxx

:bliss: ohhhhh I'm so happy that you've been offered the job!!! Massive congratulations Susie :bliss:

The watch it is then. I'll order it next week so that it's due to arrive on one of the days when he's at work so that I can get it hidden out of sight for a few weeks :D Feeling loads better now, but I'm not eating a massive amount tonight. I haven't gone with the original plan of a lasagne...

I think if you plan on carrying on with extra easy sp don't they recommend that you add in a yoghurt or an extra hexa portion? Or have I got that wrong?

Feeling really yuck this morning :( I had some of my mum's breaded chicken last night and it must have been stupidly greasy or something because it didn't agree with my stomach whatsoever and I was up for a couple of hours in the night. And because of that I just haven't felt like eating yet...

Fantastic news that your period has arrived. I bet that's a huge weight off your shoulders. Well done on your loss this week, fingers crossed for next week and your 4 stone award :D

It seemed to be down for ages. I gave up trying to get back on in the end Food looks so yummy :D Hope you have a good day and enjoy the sunshine x

Well done on the loss :D that's fantastic Before I broke my first fitbit, I was so close to hitting 10,000 steps that I actually spent a while pacing my mum's front room until I hit it. I'm so glad it's not just me who does the pacing to hit a goal ;)

Hope your weigh in goes well :D I love how well prepared/organised you are. It's inspiring to see xx

Brilliant news on the job offer :D congratulations I'd definitely recommend the agnus castus. When I take it regularly my cycles improve so much and alongside the weight loss they do get shorter and shorter. I had a 3 week gap from taking it when we moved house so am in the process of getting...

Amazing loss Susie!!!! Massive well done and keep up the fantastic work :D

Last night's sleep was down to being up and down all night as I drank so much during the day. And I think it will carry on that way until I'm back on track with regards to how much I'm drinking. 750ml down so far today, need to refill my bottle with water and squash for my next 750ml which will...

I haven't tried the ready meals yet, though knowing my luck our local Iceland won't stock them as it's that tiny. I think having the baked oats and ice cream are too heavy on my tummy and affecting my weight loss as I seem to be back up to 361 this morning. So I'm going to stop having them for...

Fingers crossed for the new job Susie :D Hope your wi goes well tonight xxx

Today seems to be turning into an sp (not deliberately I might add) Breakfast - strawberries and choc shot (1 syn) - no protein I know as I ate late Lunch - bbq chicken (2 syns for nandos rub), spinach, cucumber, tomato and mayo (2 syns) Dinner - bacon, egg, beans, mushrooms, tomatos and toast...

Hope you've had a lovely weekend Susie :D

1lb off this morning, not quite out of the 360s, but I'm sure by this time next week I will be :D 2 more nights at my mum's house and I can sleep in my own bed as the pa who's been away comes back on wednesday. You wouldn't believe how much I'm looking forward to a soak in the bath and a good...

Try searching for Lindsey Kelk's I Heart series, absolutely love these for a nice light hearted read. I went through the whole series when we were on honeymoon last year :D

I've only tried quark once and couldn't get on with it, so I'd prefer to use a few syns on something a bit yummier :D The lasagne has ended up at 3 syns as I managed to get 6 out of the cheese sauce and bolognese sauce which I'm happy with. Got a portion in the oven now cooking, just got to...

Trust me to crave lasagne the day before weigh in :eek: but I'm going to give into temptation as I'll just pick at rubbish otherwise I've found a packet of colmans cheese sauce mix in the cupboard so will use that, 16 syns for the whole packet (milk included), so will be about 3-4 syns...

Ok, so thankfully not as bad as I thought it would be. Back down to 361 this morning, but ever so slightly heavier (361.4) so I'm happy with that and feeling more than a bit relieved :) No picking today, as I really want to at the very least see some sort of a loss on monday morning. So I think...

Hope you have a lovely day Susie :D

Ugh, just had a sneak peak at the scales and I'm 3lb up from weigh in on monday :( seriously feeling a bit defeated now and more than a bit rubbish about it now. Really not looking forward to monday, I think I'll be lucky to have a maintain :cry: Just got to keep plodding on somehow :(

Yes, I will admit that I have been going hungry due to being fussy, so maybe I do need the rice/pasta/potatoes to keep me full and less likely to pick. I do like extra easy as like you say it's the best of both worlds :)

They're just packet ones like you can get from health food stores. Whitworths Banana Chips 18G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries I don't want to slip into eating rubbish at night, so at least if I was on extra easy or red days I could grab a yoghurt from the fridge, or some pineapple or a banana...

By the sounds of things, this week is going brilliantly :D so excited to see your wi results on tuesday

I don't think I can stick to sp days :( I'm so unbelievably fussy that I'm very limited with regards to speed foods that I'm pretty much having the same thing over and over again, which can't be good. So I think I need to make the decision to switch back to normal extra easy, or maybe even red...

Susie if you find the other consultant more inspiring then I would switch in a heartbeat. Could you maybe make a salad to take with you for after you've done your weigh in?

I slipped up yesterday afternoon, I'd done brilliantly all day until the 5pm point as I'd got stupidly hungry and picked until Chris actually got back from morrisons and I could do my dinner. So the plan for today is to fill up on strawberries and raspberries late afternoon to keep me going...

Yep syn free apart from the jam as I count my hexb for the oats and take the splash of milk from my hexa

I'm shocked at how much icecream I got for 5.5 syns and it didn't taste any different to normal vanilla either :D I think this may have to be my supper on sp days for me :D 35g of porridge oats (hex) teaspoon of vanilla extract splash of skimmed milk (out of hexa) sprinkle of truvia sweetener...

Just made this for supper. 7.5 syns in total for the ice cream and jam. Counted as my second hexb. Tasted so good and felt like a really naughty treat pudding :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

New food plan for the day Breakfast - baked oats (hexb and 2 syns) with strawberries Lunch - cheese (hexa), onion, mushroom, tomato and bacon omlette with beans Dinner - birds eye inspirations salmon with lemon and dill sauce with fried cherry tomatoes and onions Supper - baked oats with 1 tbsp...

Just had my baked oats and strawberries and feeling good and focused for the rest of the day. I had a bit of a heart to heart with Chris last night and explained my fears about getting pregnant at this size and surprisingly he's actually come up with a fairly decent idea. What we're going to do...

Yay, so glad the gain is gone as well as the bloatedness having gone down :bliss: Food looks brilliant for today :D

Thanks ladies :D Feel absolutely fab for getting another loss. It might only be a small one, but I'm more than happy with it and looking forward to next week :D Day 1 of a week down at mum's tomorrow and I'm not particularly looking forward to it. This is when I tend to struggle as mum has so...

I think for the moment, it's going to have to be a no go. I'll have a mooch over the next few months for a cheap bike for the hubby (so I can drag him out with me when I get the guts to take the plunge) and have a go of that and see how I do :) I can't bear the thought of potentially wasting the...

Sorry about the gain Susie, but I echo what the other ladies have said and I'm positive that it will be gone in no time. SP ideas that I can think of at the moment - quiche or burger in a bowl? Hope you're feeling better soon :bighug:

For a while now I've really wanted to buy a bike, but now it's come to it and I have a bit of money available to buy one I've totally bottled it. As you can see, I have (what I feel is) a massive amount of weight to lose and I'm absolutely petrified. The main thing is that I'm unbelievably...

So I'm down 2lb as of this morning, which I'm very, very happy with. After my off plan saturday, I did think I may have done some damage, but thankfully not. This week is going to be a bit of a challenge as I need to be down at mum's a lot, so I want to try and get lots of meals planned so...

Susie I could have happily throttled the woman right there and then. She didn't have trouble conceiving me or my brothers and is tiny compared to me, so I don't think she understands how my weight actually affects my cycles. It drives me crazy as she was the one who went to all the appointments...

That sounds like a good plan with regards to weigh in :D Hope it's gone/goes well for you xx

Hopefully the bloating is a sign that your period is on the way :bighugs:

Definitely not offended, please don't worry xxx

Would definitely recommend it :D

Omg, absolutely heavenly breakfast. I WILL be making this again and I think I may very well have found my new my favourite breakfast. 35g porridge oats mixed with 1 small/medium egg, splash of milk, some truvia sweetener and tiny drizzle of vanilla bean paste. Popped into a foil tray and a blob...

Hopefully the hangover is well and truly gone by now ;)

She won't push for one still because of my weight, which is why I'm trying to kick start things once and for all with the weight loss. I'm on a parenting/ttc forum and what people suggest are supplements, less caffeine and booze, loose boxers, no excess heat, so I may very well get him to try...

I feel more together, still a bit weepy. But, I've had a productive evening. I've tidied our spare bedroom and our main bedroom, both bathrooms. All I need to do tomorrow is do a run round with the hoover and mop, change our bedding and put some washing on, which shouldn't take too much time...

The only issue the GP has with referring us is my weight as she thinks we would be turned away because of it and doesn't think they would even run tests unless I was lighter. If we did need help (say ivf or something) then I'd need to be at a bmi of 30. I may ask for some suggestions though...

I caved and I ate rubbish. It's not made me feel better, but I don't feel as bad as expected. I didn't get my lunch in the end because I totally forgot that it was in the oven and now it's burnt to a crisp and totally inedible. I think I'm going to go home soon, away from temptation and to try...

Feeling hurt and on the verge of crying right now. We're down at my mum's at the moment and as Jeremy Kyle finished he came up with an advert for his new show and was advertising for overweight people and even mentioned about people's weight stopping them from conceiving. So mum pipes up that...

I think you did the best that you could given the circumstances and for that you should be proud. Hope your little man is doing ok xx

Hi Lisa :D Good to see you back on here again, hope everything is ok. Well done for getting back on track xx

Woke up feeling nice and determined this morning. And have got a food plan in place for the day so that I can take control of the day rather than not knowing what to have and making silly decisions. Clean, clean, clean this weekend I think. We've got Chris' mum and dad coming to spend the day...

:bliss: well done on the second interview, hopefully the time will pass nice and quickly so you can get round to it :D Hope you had a brilliant night with your friend xxx

:bighug: Sorry you've been feeling a bit rubbish. Hopefully the Dr can get down to whatever's going on to make your period late. Either that or it turns up very, very soon for you You've got the right mind frame that this is about your health and not the numbers on the scale xxx

What a day and only myself to blame for it :( No planning whatsoever ended up in me pick, pick, picking while I was down at mum's earlier today. I think I need to start making my lunches and snacks the night before so that I can just grab and run from our fridge. That way there's no temptation...

As a couple we've only been abroad to Turkey, though Chris has been a few places in Spain and the Canary Islands, whereas I've only been to Tunisia otherwise. I'd love to try Italy, Cyprus or Greece. Somewhere new to both of us. I did suggest Egypt to him but he said no (not sure why at the moment)

It was just a bowl of chopped strawberries, banana and a teaspoon of that choc shot sauce drizzled on top :)

I made the quiche tonight and had that instead of my fry up. Also noticed that I hadn't used my hexa, so I tried something new and mixed a hexa of philadelphia light into my beans and heated them up - was actually, oddly enough, very nice and I'll definitely be doing it again. So I'm going to...

Bike shop wise round here I think we're fairly limited to halfords, which is a bit of a pain as again our local store doesn't have a massive amount of choice. I've spotted a couple of bikes by Raleigh that seem ok. If I wasn't such a shortie I'd probably go for a man's bike as they seem quite a...

I haven' tried them yet. I'm doubting our local store will actually stock them as it's only a tiny store, I've got the morrisons nume ones to try tonight, so hopefully they're nice :D

Ok, really didn't like the overnight oats so won't be having them again. They were way too stodgy for me and I just wasn't keen. I think I'll stick to omlette etc from now on :(

I'm actually shocked that I didn't put on more than I actually did, but I'll take that on the chin and the weight is heading back in the right direction again (360 as of this morning) :D All I've been doing for the past few days is look at bikes over and over again. I'm stuck between two and go...

Susie, I find if I have something that's too oily/fatty then I get a dodgy tummy afterwards. So you may very well be right about the oil causing it Eek!! Things are really starting to look up for you :bliss:

:D well done on hitting that 50lbs lost milestone, that's amazing!!! Keep up the fantastic work :D

Must have cross posted last night lol, massive well done on your loss this week. Plus getting into a new stone bracket and a new award :D

Oh Susie, what amazing news to come back to :D The house looks amazing, I'm beyond excited for you!! I hope weigh in goes well for you xxx

Sorry for the 3 week absence :eek: We're in the new house and slowly but surely getting things set up. We're still waiting on our internet to be up and running properly and have got another engineer coming out tomorrow, so hopefully that will be sorted. At the moment I'm sat in the spare...

Still no working oven :( We had someone come out on friday and they've needed to order a new element for it, so we're now looking at either tomorrow or wednesday at least, which is seriously frustrating. This week has consisted of a lot of microwave meals and somehow I've still lost 1lb. Not...

The curtains came from Next, with the bedding, just a different range :)

No sign of any repair person for the oven :( so Chris is chasing the landlord up for me tomorrow morning as I need to know what days I need to be waiting at home for Having a night off and then back on it tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit better about things as a whole so fancied a bit of a treat...

Quick update for now as I'm in the car (Chris is driving) Our oven has died on us so we've got someone coming out to look at it later today. Though it could very well mean that we need a new one and need to wait for that to be delivered. Though that has meant that food hasn't been as on plan as...

Colour scheme for the bedroom has changed yet again :o But this time I'm definitely decided on it and no going back as I've ordered a new bedding set and new curtains to match (the other ones I'd ordered are being sent back). This is the bed set And these are the curtains It seems to be...

Massive well done on the inch loss Susie :D Hope you have a good day today xx

I love your positivity and sheer determination to keep going and to not focus on the bad days. That emotional post makes sense to so many of us because we're in the same boat :bighug: Hope you have a good day today xx

:bliss: fantastic loss Susie!!!!

I'd say it's a nsv ;) I hate shopping for bras at the moment as I don't seem to stay the same size for long Your day sounds fab, I definitely think a bath will be called for. Pop some bubbles in and have a nice relax as you'll definitely deserve it :)

I think I've got the colour scheme sorted :) It seems to be purple, pink, teal and white/silver. I've just got a bargain on some curtains from next £32 for 2 pairs! And an extra canvas for the bedroom I've decided to go with this one for above the tv instead as I think it kind of ties in with...

Looking forward to seeing how you do at weigh in today :D Courgetti is delicious, I tried it for the first time last week and it was yum :D

As I suspected 3lb on this week, and I'm really miffed with myself because if I hadn't given in I could have probably maintained :mad: So, yeah, definitely going to be doing sp days this week and see how I get on with them. I'd love to get rid of the 3lb and maybe a little bit more by this time...

Fantastic menu for today :) And as for the chocolate, as you say we get syns on SP days too, so they're there to be used :)

Definitely!! :) I've got into such an awful habit of weighing myself every morning and when it's a bad day, it sets my mood for the whole day :( I'm actually contemplating doing sp days all week next week :o

Of course I don't mind, the more the merrier :D

Well done for not picking up the biscuits or crackers yesterday, you're totally right to be proud of yourself :D

Angry with myself doesn't begin to cut it :( My willpower is out of the window and I'm desperately trying to claw it back in time for weigh in tomorrow morning :( Yesterday consisted of chocolate and a chinese takeaway and this morning it looks like I'm about 3lb up on last week's weigh in. I...

It's a chocolate sauce that's only 1.5 syns per 2 teaspoons :D Sweet Freedom Chocolate Shot Liquid Hot Chocolate 320G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries

* week started last night so I now know why I've been absolutely ravenous and wanting to eat everything in sight. I had a huge breakfast this morning of scrambled eggs, beans and mushrooms with 1 syn of brown sauce. It was good and felt even better to be starting the day on plan :D The goal...

We have to stick to our month's notice, which isn't too bad really as the new landlords have said we can start moving things in when we get back from the caravan (so around the 6th-7th of April). Chris' parents are coming to see us one day that week too, which is going to be interesting to say...

Chris is phoning our current landlord today, but we're hoping that he'll let us off the rest of our month's notice (he's a really laid back guy) so that we can get into the new house at the beginning of April as we're meant to be at the in laws' caravan on the 4th of April. Yesterday was a...

Yep I rang as soon as I could and we've even been and paid half of the deposit :D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

This will be the view :D

Hope you're feeling better xx

If it's something that you're always going to wonder about Susie then maybe it's something you need to go for. As you don't want to get to Italy and then be thinking to yourself "what it? ... " Well done on your on plan day yesterday with no bad snacking, your food looked fantastic :D

Morning :D Well, we viewed the house last night and we absolutely love it. It's so much bigger than what we've got at the moment. The kitchen is huge, the living room is the size of our kitchen and living room combined, the biggest bedroom is mahoosive and has such an amazing view (I'll add a...

Well done and your loss and hitting another milestone :) as long as the weight goes in the right direction It sounds like you've got your head in the right place for this week :D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

It may very well have done. It's a bit more expensive than what we originally budgeted for I can get some extra hours to cover the difference. It's only 2 miles away from my mum's house and literally my dream home. I can't wait to go view it tomorrow :D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

The owner won't bend on the no pets, which is totally understandable, so it's back to the drawing board I go :) Well, I managed to do it!!! 5lb off this week and out of the 360s!!!! And I got my half stone award too. Overjoyed is a bit of an understatement :bliss:

Hope you're feeling better soon I know I crave rubbish when I feel bad, so totally sympathise with you xxx

Susie, it looks like you've got your head screwed on. You need to make living as comfortable as possible for yourself, and if living in Italy is going to do that for you then go for it :D Hope w.i goes well for you later Enjoy your morning off xx

I've got the hubby on board with regards to moving house, I think he's finally realised how miserable I am here. So I've been searching and come across a gorgeous detached farmhouse for £475 a month. The only problem is that it says on the letting agent's facebook page that they don't accept...

Oh that bedding is gorgeous :D I can't believe how busy you've been already. I feel so lazy ;) I wish the sun was shining here, it's absolutely tipping it down. I'm so jealous of your nice weather :o Just stick to plan today and you never know, you may have a pleasant surprise tomorrow night :D

Dinner was revolting last night, I forgot that the spice quantities were for 500g of lamb mince instead of 250g. So my dinner was very spicy and salty, not nice at all. I locked myself away in the house last night as soon as I got back from mum's. I've had enough of living on this estate, but...

I'm hoping that by the time we go I'll be close to my 1 stone award (if not already got it), and if she makes any comments I'll point out the fact that I have lost weight since last time I saw her. She's got this way of talking too, going on that she has to lose weight and she hates her belly...

Our Asda delivery guys sounds like the one you had last night Susie. Our Tesco delivery guys on the other hand are so lovely :) So glad totm has eased off for you, hopefully you'll get an even better night's sleep tonight xx

Well on boxing day she turned around and said that we needed to hurry up and have children. So I told her that wouldn't be happening until I lost some weight. Her exact words were "well only you can do the work", which of course I told her I was doing. Her reply to that was "well you want to be...

I'm hoping that with the extra easy sp days I can hopefully still hit it. And then I have 3 weigh ins until we go to Chris' parents' caravan for the weekend. Which I'm not particularly looking forward to as Chris' mum can be a little harsh sometimes shall we say :( I've bought myself a new...

:mad: I'm so angry at myself I could scream. I've ate a 3 pack of alpen trail bars tonight and a bag of walkers french fries (31 syns in total). Did I enjoy them? Nope, not really. And now all I can think of is I might have kissed goodbye to any chance of being out of the 360s by monday :( I've...

I gave up with the stripes the whole way down the drawers, I've just done them on top. I've got two drawers in white for the grey drawers knobs and two in grey for the white ones. I'm hoping to have it finished tonight if the drawer knobs come in the post today :D Hopped on the scales this...

What a rubbish night :( Hopefully it slows down like you say Were the sausages nice? I never have any in because hubby always mistakes my low syn ones for his normal ones and by the time I get round to actually using them they've all gone. And I agree with Estameme, no more shaming yourself...

Hope to see you back here soon xx

Your menu sounds fab for today And wow! That homemade ice cream for the yoghurt. Delicious. I really need to try that Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Those mugshots sound yum. How's today going? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Amazing lunch today Chicken, tomato, cucumber and spinach pasta salad with 2 syns of Mayo. It was soooo yummy. I'm considering going low carb. Which would mean either extra easy sp days or red days. I'm hoping that limiting my carbs will help the weight come off a bit quicker. I'm only having...

Keep up the good work Well done on the sts xx

Hope you're feeling better very soon and that weigh in goes well tonight xxx

Thanks everyone I'm not aching so much today which has got to be a good sign :) I've put 2lb on this morning but after being away last week I honestly don't mind. I'm back on it now and raring to go Food for today Breakfast - strawberries and yoghurt Lunch - cheese (hexa) and mushroom...

We didn't have anything to ice that I could use. Even no frozen peas in. I feel a bit better today, but still aching and the bruising is coming out a lot more than yesterday. I made Chris get on ours from mum's house just now to put a picture up ;) I refuse to get up another pair for a good while

I feel absolutely rubbish today and ache all over :( I was decorating last night and the step ladders collapsed under me. Resulting in me falling on my back and bashing my knee and arm in the process. It's made me wonder if it was because I was too heavy for them and I refuse to ever get on...

Got back home last night and had such an amazing time that I seriously want to go again soon. Not necessarily away for a night, but to start regularly going to the cinema again now that I know I can fit in their seats comfortably :D Back on plan 100% tomorrow as I was showing 2lb up this...

What a nightmare journey home :( Crisps wise I like space raiders which are 3 syns a packet and they seem to get rid of my crisp craving when I have it. Well done on your loss too xx

Hope the weekend went well and that you enjoyed the movie :D

OMG!!! Amazing loss, well done for getting back on it :D

Good luck for weigh in That house is absolutely stunning. If you think you can handle the work then I'd say to go for it :D

Not so fab this week as I've stayed the same. Though I think that's very much down to * week being a pain in the backside. I was really hoping to get out of the 360s, though I'm hazarding a guess if * week eventually starts properly I'll end up with a bit of a gain next week and no chance of...

Well done for getting back on track after the gain Lisa. Definite added incentive for losing some extra weight. I'm sure you'd look lovely in a dress, even at this size, so no more beating yourself up about it ;) xx

Hope you're doing ok xx

Good luck for wi today

Well, another 3lb gone this week and I'm out of the 26s once again :bliss: So, just over 2lb to go for me to be out of the 360s :D And about 13lb to go until I get out of the 25s for the new clothes Chris promised me if I can do that by the time we go to his mum and dad's caravan in april (just...

I love it :D loads shorter and I feel like I can actually do something with my hair rather than constantly tie it back :D

What we do for the kfc chicken is pop a couple of slices of brown bread in the blender and whizz it up with some garlic granules, tiny bit of mild chilli powder and oxo southern fried seasoning. Then dip the mini chicken fillets in some beaten egg and roll them in the breadcrumbs. We cooked them...

This is a dragon fruit :D very, very refreshing and yummy :D Pitaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

********* is amazing for inspiration, so many yummy food ideas. One of my favourites is slimmingworld_gal and she does youtube videos too. She actually managed a 100% on plan christmas from what I can see :D Well done for getting back on it <3 xx

Oh that house looks amazing :D Sorry about the gain this week, but it sounds like you're well on the path to be rid of it by next weigh in xx

Well done for getting back on track lovely, like I've said before that's what I admire so much about you, your determination to get back on it. Keep up the hard work, you're doing amazing xxx

2lbs off this week, which I was super chuffed about. I had a friend over on saturday and she really wanted to order in chinese as a treat for us (I've been doing a lot for her lately as she's not having an easy time), so I had a bit, but really thought I was going to have put weight on. Imagine...

Thank you so much :D that has really reassured me The vip seats are only about £1.50 more expensive so I think we will go for them :D Thank you again xx

I've tried googling, but all they say is that the vip seats are wider. I may have to email them at this rate to try and get a definite answer. The plan is to go to a 12.00 showing as we need to leave enough travelling time, so I'm hoping that it's one of the quiter showings, plus some of the...

Thanks for the reply ... If I remember correctly the arms on the seats at this cinema do go up. But hopefully with booking the wider seats there shouldn't be a problem and I can hopefully wedge myself in ;)

Hey everyone :) Really random question, but I was wondering how people found visiting the seats at the cinema if they have been lately? I've not been for years and want to go and see Fifty Shades of Grey in a couple of weeks time and was thinking of booking the premium seats (they're...

Eek so excited to see you smash that 6 stone target over the next couple of months :D

You're doing so well. I'm loving your determination and focus to get back on track :D Well done on your loss too xx

Massive well done on the loss Lisa, and the running too!! :( hope you get chance to grab something for dinner. Food for the rest of the day looks fab though :D

Well done on your loss :) you're doing brilliantly Loving your menu for today. Hopefully it warms up soon. It's soooooo cold here too :(

Things haven't been easy the past couple of weeks and I did fall back into bad ways. I've really struggled with my emotions and blaming myself, which in turn has caused some serious comfort eating :( Some people suggested that maybe counselling would be an option, but due to the awful services...

:( don't beat yourself up over having a chinese. By the time you'd got things sorted and cooked it would have probably be well gone 9pm, it's just a shame that you didn't enjoy it. Glad the gas leak is sorted xx

Well done on your loss, not long until you're out of the 23 stone bracket :D You're doing brilliantly xx

Well done on another 4lb off :D That 1 stone award will be yours next week :D Also well done on the start of gentle exercise, it all adds up and soon enough it will get easier and easier xx

Yep, definitely pleased with the 1lb off, as long as it goes in the right direction then I'm happy :) Food was absolutely amazing last night and for only 5 syns for the weight watchers wrap, it was definitely worth it and something I want hubby to make again :D I didn't get chance for a proper...

It's got to get worse before it gets better right? :rofl: I walked 3.2 miles on saturday and regretted it all day yesterday. I don't know what I'd done, but my right foot was aching so bad anytime I put any pressure on it. It doesn't feel as bad today, but I'm really hoping to get out and have...

Well, the sports bras have got to go back as I really can't stand how they fit, and the joggers seem to be in a weird material that doesn't stretch much, but I will persevere with them as they will fit soon enough. I've switched back to weighing in lbs as kgs was just starting to really confuse...

Well done on your loss again this week, really hope things are looking up a bit by now xx

I'm so sorry about what you had to put up with at the hospital. I'm not surprised you comfort ate, but I bet it wasn't as bad as it would have been before you started on this journey :bighug: Hopefully your week starts getting better :) xx

Well done on being 100% on plan yesterday Lisa :D Are you finding that keeping your meals varied is helping to stop you from getting bored? Did the boys have a nice birthday?

:bighug: what an awful start to the year. So sorry for your sad news Your attitude towards your gain is fantastic. Onwards and downwards xxx

You should be really proud of yourself for resisting the fish and chips. Massive well done for getting back on it after your takeaway xxx

OMG! Where has the time gone? It feels like yesterday that you had the boys. Love that pic that you've uploaded. I love that doner meat recipe, I need to get some lamb mince with next week's shop now :rofl: Hopefully work is a bit less stressful today for you xx

Just wanted to check in with today's weigh in. I've managed to lose 0.7kg so the equivalent of just over 1.5 lb, which after new year and my birthday I'm very happy with. I'm taking a proactive start to the year and have gone and ordered new sports bras, hoodies, joggers, tshirts and hubby is...

Back with a 2.4kg (just over 5lb) gain after christmas :eek: Could have been much worse so I'm not giving myself too hard a time over it. So the line is drawn and I'm back on plan as of today. * week never properly materialised, so I'm waiting on that too which could be contributing to the...

Hang on in there, you're doing so well considering everything that's going on :bighug:

Massive well done Jules :D keep up the hard work Well done for getting straight back on it too, that's a real achievement in itself too xx

Well I'd somehow managed to lose more weight this morning, which I was quite pleased about. Not too sure how it will go for next week's weigh in, but I'm going to try and limit as much damage as possible by getting out and about with the dogs as much as possible while we're in Cheshire later in...

:rofl: cats are bonkers, though imagine having a 20kg dog doing that around your front room and kitchen and you'll understand what we have to put up with sometimes :eek: Hope your week is going well :)

So glad things are a little better and hope they continue to improve for you :bighug:

I'm sick of yoyoing up and down so I really want to go for it and try to get a loss before christmas. What I'm also thinking is that it's during the afternoons when I'm down at mum's that I tend to come undone. So what I want to try and do is start taking my treats down there with me (a couple...

Back from our weekend away with a 1kg gain :mad: Add to that * week is starting and there was no hope of me losing anything. If I'd had * week OR our weekend away, I might have been able to scrape through with a maintain, but a double whammy is just cruel :rofl: So, back to it this week. Today...

I've been looking on and off and at the moment I'm stuck between ham egg and chips, beef and ale pie with peas and chips, steak, or a sandwich and chips and I keep switching backwards and forwards between which one I fancy the most. At the moment it's the beef and ale pie that I really like the...

Fingers crossed the meeting goes quickly for you so you can get it over and done with Well done on the loss too xxx

Ok, so I somehow managed to lose 1.1kg, which seems to be the equivalent of 2.5lbs. Not quite sure how that happened, but I'll happily take it :woohoo: It's hubby's day off today so we're doing a few bits around the house and packing some clothes for friday while waiting for a parcel to be...

:bighug: hopefully this is it for your share of bad luck now xx

Right, on plan full week starting tomorrow :D And to start it off, will be tomorrow which I've just sat down and planned and will be sticking to 100% :D Tomorrow - Breakfast - raspberries and 2 muller lights (would be more filling but tesco doesn't arrive until after 10.00) Lunch - chicken...

Ooohhh let us know how the pulled pork turns out. That's on my list of things that I want to try :)

So, so sorry to hear of your sad news. Thinking of you and sending lots of love :bighug:

The only problem with our local group is that it's on a Monday and that's the only full day that my hubby has off work, so as daft as it sounds I refuse to arrange anything on that day as we don't get a lot of time together as it is if that makes sense? I really want to try and get a full day...

It's amazing, how much our eating habits change over time. It really sounds like you've got your head screwed on properly this year :D Ooohhh I love sparkly christmas nails, I bet yours will look amazing <3

That's fantastic, congratulations on hitting your half a stone and for getting into a new stone bracket :D

Massive well done on the loss so far xx

Massive well done on hitting the 80lbs lost, that's an amazing achievement and something to really be proud of. Hope you're taking care of yourself xx

Really need to update properly, sorry for being awol yet again. The Dr was amazing, very supportive and pleased that I'd taken it upon myself to get myself onto slimming world, despite the yoyoing that I've been doing. She did initially suggest that I check in with the nurse every so often, but...

Food wise things have been good, I've been plodding along and I've lost 3lb :) State of mind wise I'm doing awful. It's hard to put down into words but I'm having really bad anxiety attacks where I spend an hour or so sobbing and worrying that something is going to happen to either myself...

Definitely doing a lot better food wise. Not quite perfectly on plan, but, definitely getting there. I feel so bloated and yuck, but I think once * week has finished that should hopefully change. Weigh in tomorrow and not looking forward to it in the slightest, but I'll face it and hopefully...

Back to it today. I really want to get my focus back and to do that I need to have a bit of faith in myself. I've done all of this before, done quite well before. I don't know why I can't seem to snap back into it, but today is the start of a new week and I am determined to make a difference...

Well done for sticking to plan. How did the rest of the weekend go?

:bighug: it's hard when families cause so much heartache and pain, which in turn snowball into finding it hard to make the right decisions food wise, so I totally sympathise. Hope you're having a nice weekend so far xx

Not feeling too much better. Have really struggled food wise and done a lot of comfort eating, which I really didn't need to do. Oh well, just draw a line and get back on it. Add to that * week has started so I'm expecting another gain on wednesday, but fully prepared to take it on the chin and...

A loss is a loss :bighug: Well done xx

Really struggling to not comfort eat at the moment. Having a few issues with a so called friend and her selfishness and I feel just about ready to throw the towel in with her. Hubby is at work tonight and tomorrow night and I'm not looking forward to being on my own. Sorry for the depressing...

I can't do red days :8855:I'm just no good at them, I crave carbs like mad. So, maybe I need to try and lower them slightly and see if that helps. It doesn't help today that I feel really queasy, ever since brushing my teeth last night. I think I'll have some plain toast for breakfast and see...

Keep up the hard work and will power :D

Fantastic well done on your november goals so far :D I can't wait december, I plan on getting the xmas decorations up when hubby is at work one night ;)

So, I've gone and booked myself an appointment with the Dr in a few weeks time to try and get some help with trying for a baby. I'm not sure what help she will be able to give because of my weight, but at least I'm setting the ball in motion. With that in mind, I really want to try and get as...

:bighug: sorry your ex was being a bit of a pillock last night You've got a week to put things right so don't beat yourself up over having the chinese :) As you say you're on your way xx

Don't worry about our diaries :bighug: It sounds like you have enough on your plate. Thinking of you xxx

I totally get what you mean, I do exactly the same thing All I can say is try and take things one day at a time and then all of those little steps will all add into big differences :)

Well done on going for the jacket potato and tuna Lisa Your fella sounds like a superstar being so supportive and actually thinking to tailor the spag bol to your needs :D

Back home now and back on plan 100%. I had a couple of days last week where I didn't stick to plan as much as I should. So that's my goal for the rest of this week. I'm going to stick to my evening meals from the freezer, so they might look the same quite a bit. I've got tomato pasta sauce...

All the cleaning is done, just haven't tackled the packing yet, but only need clothes for tonight, so it's not too bad. And Chris has got lots of clothes there so I can just chuck a few bits in a bag for myself :) Not got a lot of superfree in as shopping isn't due until tuesday. All I can do...

Just popping on with food plan for today as I want to totally gut downstairs and get it nice and tidy before we go away for the night on sunday. I hate coming home to a messy house, so the more I can get done and organised today, the better :D Breakfast - weetabix (hexb and hexa) followed by...

I'm so awful at keeping this updated. I really don't want it to turn into my last diary where I forget to update or even come on here at all :( Things are good here, I had a sneak peek at the scales this morning and I've already lost that 1.5lb and an extra 1lb besides that :) We're away this...

Food looks amazing for today :D Your hubby sounds like a real sweetheart <3
