And the yo-yoing continues, 2.5lbs on :(

Mine wasn't good news. A night away and double bank holiday for Easter and May Day threw me right off track, 2.5lbs on :( Really struggling this time and I don't get it. I am so miserable at this weight but "it" won't click this time and I'm not really getting anywhere fast.

Ooh you're right, I'd worked my target out over only 4 weeks.

Terrible start to the month. A deserved 2.5lbs on.

I'm in. Sunday weigher so 4 weigh-ins in May but I've just booked an imprompu night away with my daughter (I should really be getting ready!) and it's Easter here this weekend so lots of lunches and chocolate around to sabotage me. I have to keep it real and just go for 4lbs this month.

Ouch! Hope you get it sorted soon.

I've just realised that today is my last weigh in for the April chart but it doesn't matter 'cos I've actually done it! First time I've hit a monthly target, 2.5lbs off this week :) I'd only said to lose 5 and I've just noticed that the chart says 6 but it doesn't matter 'cos I've done that too :)

Hope you're feeling better and good luck for next week x

2.5 off this week, now 14st 5lb....here for a while yet ;)

I hear you, I really do. There is nothing more frustrating than the scales not having the good grace to reward you for all your hard work. And, like you, my answer is always a binge BUT think about those jeans you got into the other day (even if you did nearly lose your circulation!). If you...

You can be the Quenn of weigh-ins. She has two Birthdays, you have two weigh-in days! Fab loss, well done. I'm happy with 2.5lbs off this week ;)

Diet ninja ha ha ha love it!!

I used to go to group when I was in the UK but now do it at home. A couple of years ago I used online and found it really helpful for checking syns as the brands are all different here. This time I'm completely on my own and do miss being able to log on to check stuff but I just can't afford it...

2.5 is a great loss, well done!

Aw, thank you! I've not managed more than 2 losses in a row on this latest campaign - really need to get my you-know-what in gear!

Still yo-yoing but 4 off this week, now 14 7.5

4 off for me this week.

Back on plan this week and managed to get rid of my holiday gain and 1 more, 4 off for me.

Could be too much fibre, have a look at FODMAP it explains which healthy foods can cause bloating - it's not always the fault of the demon carbs ;)

Definitely have better losses on Red days, simply because I don't eat as much as when I'm loading up on carbs!!!! I thought of you as I was munching my favourite Red day lunch today - mackerel in tomato sauce with lettuce, grated carrot and rocket mixed in on 2 Ryvitas followed by fruit and...

I tend to stick to grilled meat or fish and salad with a baked potato as an HEB on red days.

Good luck x

Hi All Sorry I dropped off the radar the end of last month but was back in the UK for a week. I finally managed to pluck up the courage to get on the scales today and was amazed with only 3 lbs on - I certainly deserved more! Anyway, can I be in for the last 3 weigh-ins? I'll go for 5lbs

Oh dear, I think you should remove me from this month's challenege. Neither my head nor my heart are in it. I'm out this evening and at the weekend for pre-Birthday dinners/drinks and I am off to the UK next Tuesday for a week too - I already have the take-away menu planned!

Ha ha ha, love this meme!

I only lost 0.5lbs this week, and didn't really deserve that. I'm really struggling at the moment, my head is just not in the right place. I'm off to the UK for a week next Tuesday too so that will be diastrous for the diet - I have all the take-aways planned already!! Well done on your losses x

Somehow the 3 good days I managed have given me a 0.5lb loss. Much more luck than judgement!!

Managed 0.5lb off this week.

Welcome - although it may just be me and you ;)

Deal - will there be biscuits?!! Gaining or STS when you've been good is so disappointing. The positive spin is that if you hadn't been on plan the gain would have been a lot worse. Hang in there, even if it's not showing on the scales just yet you are being kind to your body and health by...

Well I'm certainly not ;)

Thanks @Paul8 . I managed a good day yesterday but am constantly berating myself for overeating - the narrative that runs in my mind is just not nice. A couple of years ago I was totally in the zone, found Mimimins and lost 4 stone to reach target for the first time ever. Managed to stay there...

Pass some of that mojo this way will you - I've started the week with 2 terrible days. It'll be another 3 on if I carry on at this rate :(

Unfortunately my STS last week (after I had had an absolute 100% week) threw me right off track and I gained 3lbs this week. Desperately in need of something to kick start me as the last 2 days have been beyond awful too. Now 14st 8.5lbs :(

An expected and completely deserved 3lbs on!

Ouch! You have my every sympathy - hope it feels better very soon x

Weigh in is Sunday for me so will update in the morning. Expecting a huge gain :(

Oh dear - having a shocking week. How can ovulation throw me so off track?!

No need to apologise, every single one of us has had one of 'those' weeks! As Lucylu said, why not change your target? Head for an overall maintain this month so it doesn't become one of 'those' months. Hang in there x

Hmmm, disappointed with a maintain this week and I have been soooo good. Oh well, a day off plan today for Mother's Day and then back in the saddle tomorrow!

Do Red and Green still exist if you're going to a class? They are pretty much all I do, I do it from home and haven't been to a class in more than 16 years!! The magazine never mentions them.

I can't believe it's possible to gain 5lbs of actual fat in 2 days - definitely mostly water. There'll be a great number waiting for you at the end of this week. Don't be downhearted, that's a fab loss!

Ooops sorry - just seen your later posts!

I agree, it doesn't seem fair. Do you go to group or from home? If you're at a group it may be worth writing everything down and letting your consultant go over it.

I know this feeling all too well and know how hard it is to shake it off too. This last week I went right back to basics: weighing my healthy extras (except my milk, I must confess) and filling out a food diary. The main thing was though something just clicked in my head, who knows how long it...

I'd gained 3 weeks in a row!! +1+1+2

Forgot to post in here last week, is anyone still here? 2 on last week but a loss of 7.5 this week so feeling much happier.

The food diary magic worked, 7.5lbs off for me this week. Now 14st 5.5lb

So, just missed my February challenge by 1lb but feeling motivated after a good end to the month. I need 6lb to get down into the next stone bracket so put me down for 6 for March please.

As a rule I don't write OMG, but OMG this week I have lost 7.5lbs!!!!!!!!! I was hoping for a good number but never expected that. Still doesn't quite give me my February target but sets me up nicely to start the March challenge. @Neveragain , thanks for spreading the PMA, it worked like a charm x

Great results for the last week of the challenge and I'm hoping not to spoil it with a red box!! Sarah - as much as I hate to admit it it looks like you missed by gain of 1lb on the second week.

Neveragain, I'm loving your PMA I love your upbeat and positive outlook so much. Can you bottle some and throw it my way?!

So far this week I have been completely 100%, gone right back to basics and I've even been using my food diary sheet thingy. Hoping to see a good loss on Sunday after 3 weeks of gains!

That sounds like one amazing trip! I've never been to the US but I remember my Mum saying she felt overfaced every time they ate out ( and she has a mean appetite!). Well done for getting straight back on the wagon, 3 gone already and I'm sure the others will soon disappear. I have the same...

Fantastic result - well done you x x x

Lovely - my friend had a little boy yesterday!!

Well, despite the excellent advice above I didn't knuckle down and COMPLETELY lost my way. Surprised to have only put 2 on this week. I'm trying really hard to not throw the towel in. I can't bear being this weight but can't seem to do anything about it....then the self-loathing kicks in. Is...

Oh dear! 2lbs on but I deserve it, completely. That's 3 gains in a row...making a nice red line across the lovely chart. Sorry everyone!

What's SP?

If I carry on at this rate I'll have to rename this group '14 stone to 15 stone'!! Another 1lb on this week. I have been away for 3 days though so I am actually quite surprised it's not more. Now 14.11

Hope you've had a great time - "normal people don't take weighing scales on holiday" made me laugh so much!! Sorry to hear about the illnesses and family worries some of you are having - hope everything is starting to look better very soon x x x I am stunned to only have gained 1lb this week...

What are you struggling with? Anything we can help with? I fell spectacularly off the wagon yesterday and just know in my heart that today will be awful too. Tomorrow I'm going away for 2 nights and have no intention of even thinking about plan so expect to be at least 3-4 lbs up when I weigh...

I loved the 30 Day Shred but just can't face it at the moment as I feel my knees aren't up to it. I've just bought Beginners Shred. I've only done a few days of level 1 but it is loads easier than 30 Day Shred - much less intense cardio. Plan is to get through the Beginners one and then head...

1lb on, not totally unexpected but feel it's undeserved. Hope you are all much happier with your numbers today x

1lb on, which I feel I don't deserve....and yes, I'm sulking!!! Now 14st 10lb

Don't talk to me, 1lb on :mad:

How's everyone feeling for tomorrow? I have no idea what to expect. I've been on plan but feel heavy and bloated....we'll see!

Awesome!!!!

We're off to a place called Nafplion. I've been before but absolutely adore it, it's the Greek version of York. Sadly, because it's an ongoing battle I've been fighting since I was 9 years old. I only know dieting or bingeing, my head doesn't understand normal eating :( November 2012 I got to...

Ooh I love a chart!! Can I join please? My WI in day is Sunday and I'd like 4.5lbs this month to give me my 1 stone. I have a girls weekend away coming up but hope I can still do the 4.5lbs off.

Morning all. Only 1lb off for me this week.

Only 1lb off for me this week, now 14st 9lb.

Can I please have some of your motivation?! You are completely in the zone and deservedly so. Fantastic achievement! Enjoy your holiday, where you off to?

Way off target this month........maybe in February!! Wii Workouts so far - 8/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) Beginner's Shred - Day 6/30 completed

2lbs is a great loss!!

Hi All. Can I sneak into your group please? I started out having WI on Mondays but I think Sunday is going to work better for me. Happy with 1.5lbs off this week. Good luck all x

I've had an early WI again and am happy with 1.5lbs off. I think Sunday WI is going to work better for me so am defecting to a Sunday WI forum. Keep up all the good work x x x x

1.5lbs off for me this week, now 14st 10lbs.

You following me? ;)

Great loss - well done. My WI day is Monday, it's supposed to keep me on track over the weekends!!

Hi Dizzy I was super disapponted with my first week's loss last week (only 1.5lbs) but stuck with it and lost 5.5lbs this week. Hang in there x

What's Fitness Coach? I just have the same Wii fit disc I've used for about 4 years!!

Plan is to try and do a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii every day and try to complete the Beginner's Shred too. Wii Workouts so far - 7/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) - way behind schedule but still trying! Beginner's Shred - Day 5/30 completed

Hi All May I join your group. Staggered to have lost 5.5lbs this week to bring me to 14st11.5lbs.

Weighed in a day early this week and am staggered to have lost 5.5lbs, taking me to 14 st 11.5lbs. Gobsmacked is an understatement!

So, this morning I woke up and thought **** it I'm having a day off plan today. I have struggled every day this week not to give in to the binge monster, I'm still not sure how I managed to get through yesterday on plan, but I did. Anyway, decided to WI this morning instead of tomorrow and I...

Welcome and good luck x

Is this your first? I only have one daughter and, even though I was fairly ill all the way through, I absolutely loved being pregnant. It was the first time in my life I wasn't obsessed with my weight and it was so liberating. I know that probably sounds extreme but I went to my first Slimming...

Half on is nothing. Just imagine if you were buying in to the 'eating for two' mindset - you'd probably have put 4 on!! I had the nausea and sickness all the way through my pregnancy but still managed to gain 24lbs.

Sounds like a party weekend you have planned there ;) I've not been on the scales but I don't feel like I've lost an ounce this week. Every day has been a struggle but I have, somehow, stayed on plan. I just feel 'heavy' though, do you know what I mean?

Disappointing but good that you're not letting it deter you. Do you like kiwi fruit? That always gets me going!!

Plan is to try and do a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii every day and try to complete the Beginner's Shred too. Wii Workouts so far - 6/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) - way behind schedule but still trying! Beginner's Shred - Day 4/30 completed

Ouch! That sounds painful. I've managed to stay on track food wise - which is a major achievement when I'm in the 'sod it' mood - but still not got my ass moving just yet!

Hope you're feeling better soon x I have done nothing for 2 days. Had a disappointing first week's loss so have been sulking today and in a "what's the point" kind of mood!

Really disappointed with only 1.5lbs off this week. I did have a night out on Saturday but was hoping for a little more my first week. Hey ho! Hope you all have better numbers x

Disappointed with only 1.5lbs this week. Now 15 st 3lb.

Plan is to try and do a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii every day and try to complete the Beginner's Shred too. Wii Workouts so far - 5/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) Beginner's Shred - Day 3/30 completed

How long have you been running for? It's something I have never been able to do, even at my fittest!

Nooooooooo!

Plan is to try and do a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii every day and try to complete the Beginner's Shred too. Wii Workouts so far - 4/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) Beginner's Shred - Day 3/30 completed

I love a bacon and cheese toastie, always feels a lot naughtier than it is!

Good luck this morning. I'd love to see a 14 this week but know it's highly unlikely! Great loss, well done.

Hope you're feeling better soon. Will look up the programme....please tell me that it confirms sitting on the sofa is all the exercise you need???!! How about something that's easier to maintain for now? Something you could do at home maybe? I'd struggle to walk 10K at the moment :(

Skipped yesterday...I mean I didn't do anything, not that I actually skipped!....as I felt like absolute you know what. Only a cold but felt rotten. I'm back to work today and hoping to feel up to some bouncing around later.

LOADS easier - well, Level 1 certainly is anyway. Much less cardio, the cardio on the 30 Day Shred Level 1 nearly killed me when I started it.

Plan is to try and do a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii every day and try to complete the Beginner's Shred too. Wii Workouts so far - 3/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) Beginner's Shred - Day 2/30 completed

Good luck, I too am an ex-miniminer who has regained all of the 4 stone I lost. You're not alone! Mmmmm haloumi, they do a similar one here with fig jam.....but I prefer the grilled chicken breast with a grean leaf salad ;) Love it!! Fantastic loss, well done :wee:

Me too, but I'm so out of shape I have regressed to the Beginner's Shred. Aiming to get back to the regular 30 Day asap.

Very hot oven and make sure they're dry after the par-boiling.

You find your exercise mojo but your plantar fasciitis has other ideas. Anyone have any tips to ease the pain?

I'm in. Plan is to try and do a minimum of 30 mins on the Wii every day and try to complete the Beginner's Shred too. Wii Workouts so far - 2/28 (started on 4 Jan!!) Shred - Day 1/30 completed

Ah yes, the dreaded alcohol :( If I know I have an 'event' coming up I do try to save syns, I've read varying theories as to whether this works or not but the main thing seems to be to try and stay in control. If you know you have 70 syns to play with then that feeling of blowing it isn't as...

I'm in Greece so no ready meals available and many of the recipes are difficult to follow too, mainly because of the lack of quark, 0% fromage frais and the likes. But, I've done it before so that's no excuse!! I found a lovely recipe for carrot and corainder soup - my go to warming treat!

Well done on the 4lb loss - I would be more than happy with that on Monday! We have been invited to dinner on Saturday so that will be tough to be 100%, I'll just try and be good all around that one meal. I have a tendancy to think 'oh **** it' and go mad all day when I know I am going out. I...

Congratulations!

Hi All Can I join for some much needed support? WI this morning at 15st 4.5lbs and, although it's not as bad as I thought, I am kicking myself after managing to get down to my 11st target back in 2012 but now finding myself back here. So, my first goal is to see a 14 on the scales by my second...

*Huge sigh* So, here I am again. Weighing in this morning at 15st 4.5lb. I have to say I felt like it was going to be a lot worse after Christmas and New Year. Still beating myself up about gaining every pound of the 4 stone I had lost, maybe that should be my first goal - to be easier on...

Gained 2lbs this week, very lucky it wasn't much much more. Still really struggling :(

I'm suffering from the hangover from hell but am planning to be back on track tomorrow....oh, and I'm never drinking again........

Oh no. Even if it's not your friend's husband he belongs to some family somewhere. Awful news.

...when an undeserved tiny loss throws you into a full on binge.

I love Louth, reminds me of going on my childhood holidays to Chapel St Leonards - always knew we weren't too far away once we hit Louth!

Dramatically fell off the wagon I'm afraid, trying again though! Ouch! You have my every sympathy.

Hello? Anyone there? Hope you're all having a great week!

Hope your night in the boat wasn't too uncomfortable! This is a great idea, you'll be in those jeans before you know it. Along the same vein, I received an e-mail from fitbit saying I had completed my Italy badge - I've logged 736 miles which is the length of Italy. Please don't be impressed...

If you fancy something really good for dinner I can recommend the 'Garlicky prawns with noodles' from the Nov/Dec magazine. One of the nicest SW meals I've made in ages.

I used to start in heavy stuff (jeans, etc) and shed them if I'd had a bad week :o

Happy Belated Birthday! How you feeling about the gain? Are you back on track already?

To be honest syns aren't really what affect my losses it's my portion control on free food and not getting 1/3 superfree. I rarely use all my syns either but it is in the back of my mind that that then gives me a little space for tweaks too! Congrats on the great loss.

3 off this week, usually more my 1st week on plan so alittle disappointed. Now 14 5.5

Thanks ladies.

If I'm honest I'm disappointed with only 3lbs off this week, first week's losses are usually bigger for me - hey ho!

Hi Jenny, welcome to our small group! Have you tried filling out a food diary (either online or on paper). I think it really helps when you're starting out to get your head around the plans. Good luck x

Just seen SP mentioned on another thread, what is it?

What's SP?

You go for a super long walk with the dog and your Fitbit is faulty so has not counted one step of it!

Can I join you all - again?!! I was in this group 2 years ago and hoped never to be back (in the nicest possible you way) but I lost the plot completely and am now back at 14 8.5 I'm hoping to be here no longer than 3 weeks, but let's see what the next 3 weeks bring!!

I was feeling apprehensive about showing my face again after gaining 3.5 of the 4 stone I'd lost 2 years ago but seeing I'm not the only one has done my heart good! Great to see some of the old faces reappearing. So, here I go again - had a disastrous last 8 months when I put on most of the 3.5...

That would be wonderful but I've been staying away as I've been too busy feeding my binge monster. I'd lost just over 4 stone but have regained 3 of them. I've been back on plan this week but do not feel confident at all, I feel like I could stumble any minute. Oh well, here we go again! Good to...

I read this before I saw the post it related to and wondered what you were on about :flirt2:

...someone posts a racially provocative image on FB and then gets antsy when you write an opposing comment on it.

...when you pick up your daughter's birthday cake and it looks amazing

......... It's the final dog training session tomorrow, sob!

I didn't weigh in yesterday - that alone tells you how disastrous my last 10 days have been. We have friends here until Saturday and my mind is so far from the zone it's ridiculous. Plan is to start again on Sunday. I know it's bad though, my work trousers told me so this morning!!

Agree with the others, keep 1 and 3 but 2 does you no favours x

Annoyingly I've lost my way again. I had a particularly bad few days with my PMS which inevitably ended up with me bingeing. I'm just trying to not be too hard on myself and find my way back to 'normal', whatever that is?! You still in the zone?

Quiet now isn't it? At least you and I keep popping in to resuscitate it.

.....when you drive 3 1/4 hours to camp to get your DD as she begged me to and then the little s"@t changes her mind and stays! Another 6.5 hour round trip on Wednesday to look forward to. Did get some cute pictures though.

Half a pound off, considering the Friday and Saturday I had I suppose that's fair!

Sounds like MIL is horrible anyway, Facebook just gives people a platform when they don't have the guts to say it to your face. Block and delete!!!

Ooops - lost my way last night. I've had worse nights out though, it was bad but not disastrous. Hopefully my angelic week up until then will still help me show a loss this week. Let's see what tomorrow's WI brings. Everyone else ok?

....when your girl calls from camp saying she wants to come home. Says she's being shouted at every morning for not making her bed perfectly and only said she liked it before so I wouldn't be sad.

I forgot mine too again today - Tuesday was good though 8000+

Hormones - the work of the devil himself!!

Bless you daisybell, you truly are my conscience :angeldevil: In my screwed up head if I don't eat what I want and have a drink then I'm being deprived, for too many years my idea of relaxing and having a good time has always involved reaching for unhealthy, forbidden foods. I know how low I...

Do you have to be around her or can you avoid her? I'm very good now at just saying 'no' when invited to be around people who rub me up the wrong way - the downside is I'm almost a hermit!!

Woo hoo check you out with your huge numbers!!! Well done x

Dyjliw you drop off your daughter at her first ever camp and after about 3 minutes the terror and tears have turned to smiles as the dorm monitor is just so lovely! She's there for 11 nights and I wish I could have stayed as it looked like so much fun

Sometimes this just makes no sense - last week I gained an undeserved 3 lbs, this week I've gained only 2.5lbs when I thought it would be around 7 or 8. Whatever, it's still 5.5lbs I now need to get off again. Then in 13 days we have friends here again - aarghhhh! Hope your weigh ins are much...

Good luck x

Good luck x

Having a great time but well and truly off the wagon- spent most of today feeding my hangover!

It's dog training day!

I have friends here this week too!!!!! Well done on the loss x x

Not happy at all to report 3lbs on.

I don't know who he is, I'll find out for you ;)

The other right, the balding one! Now I'm laid on the beach ogling the picture - I'm 43 and married for god's sake!!!!!!

Here you go - 'my boy' is on the right. Check out the cute vet too though!!!!!!

Ha ha ha I'll try - I think it's because he's so masterful....and built like a brick you know what...throw in the Greek accent and I'm smitten!!!!

I'm not sure which one I should post this in so DYJLIW/DYJHIW (delete as you see fit!) you think you are developing a crush on the dog trainer :eek:

What a difference being back on the thyroxin makes - 2.5 off this week. I've a couple of tough weeks coming up as I have different friends visiting but I'm so close to my next stone zone I don't want to blow it. Must stay focused, must stay focused...... Good luck all x

Dyjliw the local supermarket gets diet lemon in, I can't stand coke and that's all they've had until now. Little things...... Also, first dog training session today - I felt like an over proud mum he did so well!

DYJLIW you finally conduct a work conversation in Greek and you're not out of your depth, only taken me 14 years :ashamed0005:

Hang in there - our bodies do funny things, your efforts could well be rewarded next WI x

DYJLIW the Mojito Soleros are back in the supermarket:drool:

Chuffed as nuts with 3.5lbs off this week - considering I had 3 days in the UK I am over the moon with that loss.

I don't mind cooking but I hate the constantly thinking about what's for dinner. Warming up here now so we've had a lot of grilled meat and salad but I am planning on making a big batch of curry sauce for the freezer today. Thanks for the support - as always x

That's just the best news Daisybell :D I got weighed last Saturday and had an unexpected 2lb gain, I didn't have time to dwell on it as I flew back to the UK later that morning. My visit to the UK wasn't too bad food wise, I ate all the wrong things for my meals but hardly snacked at all...

That's awful - at least it's only our modem that blows up! Looks like summer will be here next week :) Weather forecast for Stoupa - Holiday Weather

You're having better weather than us at the moment - been stormy here all week :(

Is the forecast good for this weekend too? Edit: Just looked for Rotherham warm and wet!

DYJLIW you're off to the UK tomorrow to surprise my parents for Father's Day. Lovely lunch already booked for Sunday. I can't wait to see their faces when I turn up on the doorstep...........I hope they'll be in!!

Your boss is in a mood and is dead nippy!

DYJHIW a comedy legend is gone way too soon. RIP Young One x x

Hey Lovely Lady! I was wondering if you'd had your op yet. Did everything go as it should have? Give yourself some time before you launch into too much strenuous exercise though - make sure your properly recovered. I weighed in at 13.4 too so we are well and truly in the same boat.

Very happy with 6lbs off this week, means I have my Club 10 and 1.5 stone sticker back too :) Nothing stopping me this week (except myself!!) but I am doing a weekend back in the UK from Saturday to Tuesday. I always struggle when I go back...fish and chips...curries...pork pies :drool:

M Louise H - Club 10 = 21lbs, 24.5 lost 0 to go :) Jodie-D Club 30 = 75 lbs. 67 lost 8 to go

You have my every sympathy - I remember some bright spark recommending ginger. Boy did it burn on the way back up!

A big :clap: for even going - I would definitely have used the ear as an excuse to not even go!!

Woah - fantastic loss, well done you x

DYJLIW your bloods show that you need to be back on thyroxin. Doc said it was an 'experiment' to see if I still needed it and the fact that I did need it will have contributed to my tiredness/depression/weight gain these last 6 months. You gotta love an 'experiment' but at least it means...

7 weeks - if only! My DD finishes on 13 June until 15 September :eek:

Oh please!! Definitely nothing lost. DYJHIW it's blowing a real gale out there, already smashed a sun bed up and everything's covered in sandy rain. Plus, the dog's terrified.....well, he was. I've just turned around to check on him and he's snoring on the sofa :rolleyes:

I'm back again............ Hoping to get 2.5lbs off this week to get back my Club 10 and 1.5 stone sticker!

Resurrecting this thread as I have had a terrible time and regained almost all I had lost....anyone back in with me? M Louise H - Club 10 = 21lbs, 18.5 lost 2.5 to go

This..

Good to have you back x You're in good company Honey - I'm back and 2 stone up!! Unfortunately, my mojo has deserted me and I'm still nowhere near the zone. You hanging in there daisybell? I'm afraid the wheels have come off my latest campaign...again!

Hayfever!!

Tentatively showing my face again in here :o My Fitbit is playing up and keeps resetting itself - I'm hoping it just needs a new battery - so have no steps to log but have done days 1 and 2 L1 Shred, 40 mins on the Wii (back in the obese range :cry:) and a good long dog walk yesterday...

Good Morning all I'm in the middle of some serious mind games at the moment so have not faced a weigh in today. I'm feeling better after 2 days back on plan and know that the number on the scale this week will only dishearten me. Hopefully I will face them next week! Good luck with the WIs

I'm still lurking but am pretty miserable right now - I'll bounce back, hopefully soon!

I'm afraid I'm about to drop out of this week......hate myself already and the inevitable 6 lbs I'll gain but that's addiction for you!

It's only day 3 of the Easter break and your DD has already packed a bag to leave home (she's 8!!!) Very tempted to let her go!!

Well, yesterday wasn't great - but it could have been a lot worse too!! I finished work yesterday for a week so my little mind says 'you're on holiday, the sun's shining it must be time to have lunch out'. So yesterday I had (brace yourself) Breakfast As planned Lunch, we shared: - Lettuce...

Ditto, I'm not back at work until Thursday woop woop - Happy Easter everyone x

Well, somehow I managed to stay on plan yesterday and now today's battle begins!! Red Day Breakfast 2 slices wholemeal (HEB1), Phil Light (HEA1), Milk (HEA2) Lunch Ryvitas (HEB2), mackerel in tom sauce & lettuce salad Dinner Roast Chicken & Salad

Hanging on by the skin of my teeth but so far today: - Breakfast 2 slices wholemeal (HEB1), Phil light (HEA1), Milk (HEA2) Lunch Baked Potato, Cottage Cheese, Yoghurt, Alpen Light Bar (3 syns) Dinner ??? Just be glad to make it through the day without losing control :mad:

Well, I lost my way a little last night (wine and ice cream!) but have still managed to lose 1lb this week. That was my plan so I'm ok with that, not ecstatic but ok. I've just sent hubby to the supermarket for fruit, butter and sugar for a crumble later - safe to say today isn't going to be...

Today's Plan Red Breakfast Bread (HEB1), Bacon, Egg, Tom sauce (1 syn), Milk (HEA1) Lunch Ryvitas (HEB2), Cottage Cheese Pineapple Dinner Hubby is cooking so will be loads of grilled/burnt meat and salad - bless him! Exercise Dog walk

You will never please everyone so stick to your guns and have the day you and OH want!

Whippy ice cream :drool: I can't even remember the last time I had one of those. Do you hire out your Granddaughter - I could make great use of her!! I didn't take the dog out yesterday but apart from that I stuck to the plan and was 100% Today - Green Again Breakfast 2 slices wholemeal...

Outrageous!!

How sweet of your granddaughter, bless her! I'm no expert on EE as it was introduced long after I'd been to my last class. However, my understanding is that anything that is free on Red or Green is free on EE but you can only have one A and B section instead of two. Also, every meal should...

Yesterday was 100% and today has been too - feeling stuffed after scoffing a huge fruit salad! The peanut curry is really yummy, it's on Pete's Recipe Book thread - I add extra peppers and a tsp of chinese 5 spice and it is lush. I've walked the dog but really do need to up my exercise too -...

Well, yesterday ended up being flexible - to say the least! I did stop short of a full blown binge and felt more like I had 'overeaten' rather than binged. I'll call that a success after the few months I've had! Today EE Breakfast 2 slices wholemeal (HEB), 2 poached eggs, milk (HEA) Lunch...

Thank you! It was very tame this year but we did all go to Lesvos a couple of weeks ago for a pre-birthday treat! Go on then, I'm in - we're out for lunch today as it's the last Sunday my OH will be off work until October and the end of the summer season. Red Day Breakfast Last night's...

Yeay daisybell - welcome back!!! You've been on my mind and I was wondering how you got on with the whole health issues. So so lovely to hear from you! As you can see my last few months have been spent gaining, be great to have you kicking me up the back$side again :p

Happy to have got rid of last week's Birthday gain and be back under 13 stone. Today is always a danger zone though, I can hear chocolate and other goodies shouting already!

Sneaking back in with a huge Birthday gain! Back on it now and have been 100% so far this week......

Hi Dunx I gained 6.5 lbs this week (Birthday!!) so I think only 7 lbs on in 8 weeks is something to be proud of! Plus, those 7 lbs won't be nearly as bad for you as those nasty ciggies were :p Don't look at it as 'giving up' smoking but as becoming a non-smoker! I'm 11 years off the fags in June.

DYJLIW I've booked book a mini break back to the UK in June to surprise my Dad for Father's Day!

Yeay - you're back! :happy036:

Best thing I've seen in ages :D

Only just got around to catching up on this thread - Happy is our favourite just now, impossible not to move when we hear it! Just introduced my daughter to Ray Charles too - she has the coolest moves to I've Got a Woman :giggle:

Good Morning All Well, I've not been weighed for a couple of weeks and have had a long weekend away so am actually very very happy with only 2.5lbs on. I did have a couple of good days, yesterday and Friday, so that may have lessened the damage. The fact I've stayed under 13 stone is a big...

Well, I won't be getting weighed this weekend as we are away until Tuesday but I'm fairly sure I'll be leaving this group at next weigh-in....just the wrong way! Completely off the rails and eating anything which isn't nailed down. Hate myself for doing it but can't stop doing it - grrrrrr :mad:

DYJLIW you've finished work until Wednesday and are going on holiday on Saturday - woo hoo!!!

Big hugs to all of you that have had sad news x

Fantastic result - well done you! Dilly - great word :p

Only 4091 yesterday - wherever the zone is, I am far far away :(

Just plain rude - most definitely their issue not yours!

Ha ha ha ha ha The last part where the guy on the right dances out of shot just killed me :8855:

A feeble 3357 yesterday...and most of those were going to get biscuits or wine :(

1lb off this week, would have been much more if I hadn't fed the binge monster on Friday & Saturday.

Yeah I know Lesley really well, she left Stoupa in 2008 and now works for Saga. I was the Manos manager when Lesley was here. I'm out of the industry now but will gladly be your own private rep! 10,433 for me today - shame I ruined the good work with chocolate and half a tub of ice cream.

We live just up the hill in Neochori. When were you here for your honeymoon - I may have been your rep!!!!!!!!

Now I have a theory about this...... If you hadn't been on SW for a month you could well have gained 4lbs, so, actually, you're 8lbs lighter than you would have been had you not been on SW. Does that make sense?
