He is so cute! X

That sounds delicious. How was it? X

Hope you're ok Mandy :) x

Hi Mandy, I found your diary :D How are you? Good for you getting back of the wagon. Even if we fall off of it every now and then, we always get back on it again so I think it's important to remember that. Hope you're having a good weekend, what have you been up to? x

I want... To see the view from your kitchen window :)

Hi Mandy! How are you? I hope you're ok :) do you have a new diary now? I've missed your posts and have been wondering how you are :) x

Don't let yourself get bored. Mix things up, try new recipes, healthy extras etc

Can I be nosey and ask why you are SW leafleting? Just I thought you didn't do SW :) x

Does it have to be new ones? You could watch some old classics that you've always heard about but just never watched! Such as friends, ER, will and grace, Fraiser, desperate housewives, house, without a trace, greys anatomy...

When people use the 'confused' emoticon or the 'roll eyes' one when it just really isn't necessary! Hate to sound petty but it just bugs me. Or when people end a sentence with a question mark that isn't needed. x

Here to subscribe :) x

Ohh thanks for this I love them x

To not being a sweaty mess all the time even when it's only slightly warm! X

Sounds amazing! Thanks for this x

What do you mean? You can indeed use your healthy extra a in coffee :) Green day today A- 30g cheddar A- 200ml chocolate oatly B- Special K chewy delight bar B - wholemeal roll

Mustard rice sounds yummy! How do you make it please? X

Ohh where abouts can you get these and do you know what sort of aisle they'd be down? They sound lovely, thanks :) x

Are you leaving the skin on? I've not tried it with sweet potato but when I use regular potatoes leaving the skin on crisps them up :) x

Not sure if it's just a local thing or not but in my sainsburys the Simon Rimmer chickpea and lentil masalla sachets are reduced to 75p and are also syn free :)

Hi, please may I pull out of the challenge, thankyou. A big fat fail for me lol x

It does indeed! :) x

Aw I'm sorry to hear that :( x

Hope you're ok! :) x

Hi just to let you know I had holiday from group this week :)

Hiya, 5lbs off for me please (I had a large gain last week but hey, that was April lol). Thanks :)

Lol no ravioli for me today x Ohh why can't every weekend be a 3 day one, wouldn't that be amazing. It's so nice knowing I don't have to get up early in the morning :) I've been totally on plan over the weekend which is usually unheard of for me on a bank hol so I'm pleased with myself...

Lovely to see you back :) x

Hello. We all need a bit of a moan sometimes don't we! So don't worry. You had a gain, but you know that you can get rid of it in no time. Your meals always sound delicious :) as someone else said you've been through a lot lately so it's totally understandable you're not going to be feeling 100...

Hi Sian. I am go Thankyou how are you? You looking forward to a nice long weekend? X Haha yep ravioli for breakfast. It was the tuned stuff (syn free in sains),not exactly gourmet fare but still nice lol x

Ohh thanks for his! I love the chewy delights x

Hi, I'm here to subscribe :) x

Hi, please may you put me down for 7lbs. Thankyou :) x

Hello everyone. Well, yet again I'm drawing a line! I was doing well on slimming world and then Easter happened and I gained 5 pounds and today is my first proper day back on plan... Again. Lol. So back to following plan properly with a fast day on weigh day :) Extra easy today - I've been...

Hi Sian nice to see you back. Glad you're doing ok, as you say it's normal to be up and down with your emotions right now. In regards to 5:2 recipes... For the first few weeks I tended to use low cal ready meals which I didn't really want to do but didn't really feel like cooking when I was so...

Good idea. Hope it works for you :) x

Me too lol, can just imagine the look on the assistants face haha

Few pics of food

Hi! As I said in your diary I've been about but been forgetting to post. Going to start doing my start again, I've missed doing it. I joined slimming world again last week, I need that structure and something to aim for. I'm doing a 6:1 week though with a fast day on weigh in day (eating after...

Oh Sian I'm so sorry. Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourself x

Hope you're ok x

Totally forgot to post these last few days! I meant to fast on Monday but cake found me so I fasted yesterday and today. Very relieved it will soon be over for this week. I've been having ready meals on fast days - omg how small are the portions?! Lol. I don't really like cooking on fast days...

Hiya, I am fine thankyou how are you? I've done a fast day so am looking forward to eating tomorrow haha x

Hi Sian how are you? So glad to hear that your dads doing on now, must be a huge relief! Sorry to hear what happened at the pub though, that must have been awful x

Continuing with the traffic theme... Dyjhiw people behind beep for you to go at roundabouts/junctions. Don't you think I would have gone if I could?! People are so impatient.

Don't have either of those here :( thankyou though x

Me neither :(

Sainsburys have 4 packs of strawberry danio yoghurts for £2 :) (1 syn each)

Feel like I've eaten loads today, and not very healthily either! Oh dear. I'm doing another fast day tomorrow, I've got a very foodie/drink orientated weekend coming up so don't want to feel too guilty lol. I weirdly look foreward to the fasts in a way but don't quite feel the same when I'm...

That's true, thanks :) Oh dear, I hope the evening has gone quick for you and that you are looking foreward to your lovely cake. You're doing so well :) x

It was another toughie yesterday! But I managed it, which I always feel really pleased about. Why on earth do I want a mcdonalds on a Monday and Wednesday but other days I couldn't care less about them?! Lol. I lost 1 pound this week. To be honest, I did kind of want a little bit more but I...

I managed it! I'm so proud, as I was reeeeally struggling and I'm not sure why. All I could think about was triple chocolate sundaes and subway lol. But I didn't give in and had a 500 calorie day. I got myself through it by thinking how much I would love the scales in the morning (they haven't...

Hope you had a lovely weekend :) x

Yeah I didn't realise that anyone can input the info, I thought it was all official. Maybe I will have to scan the bar code on some things just to make sure it's right. The same weight as Thursday this morning. It's pancake day tomorrow so I might have pancakes but I'm not sure, I will...

Haha, I did. Pound up from yesterday's weigh in but not too worried. I had a day off work today, woke up about 10 but didn't eat anything til about 4.30. I wasnt hungry until about 4, which I found rather interesting. Know I've only done two fast days but wonder whether my body is already...

Thankyou. Hiding my scales (again!) for a week so that I don't weigh myself after feast days and be dissapointed if they are up slightly, know you mentioned that they can be erratic.

Thankyou, I'm quite proud of myself really. It was hard but also a lot easier than I thought it would be. I just reminded myself that tomorrow, I could eat cheese if I wanted. I've lost 3lbs since Monday :) I'm so pleased. I will make Thursday my official weigh on day from now on. It's a food...

Ah that's good then. I shall weigh in tomorrow morning and then make Thursdays my official weigh in. I should start taking measurements too. It's been hard today, it's been cheese day at work! For lunch everyone bought in baguettes, cheese, pâté etc. I was so pleased that I didn't tough...

Lovely to see you back x

Ohh here's dinner, Cajun spice, garlic n herb philly, pasta and turkey with salad - yum :) I think I had a fairly good portion size too, not too big but enough to be full up after. Ew and the disgusting soup from yesterday :( x

My second day is tomorrow, kind of looking forward to it as it means won't have to worry about it until next Monday. The only bit a bit concerned about is that it seems a long way away, Wednesday until Monday, so I'm worried that if I've lost on Thursday morning (you're meant to weigh on the...

Thankyou. Oh yes, I went to bed absolutely ravenous (and a huge headache) but ill tell you what I had the best sleep ever. Also as you say, I wasnt hungry at all when I woke up this morning, I waited until I got into work and then had some breakfast biscuits about an hour later. I know what...

I think that's how ill do it too, hold out as long as possible. I lasted til about 4ish and then I had 16 (yes, 16 lol) seafood sticks for 140 calories. Then for dinner I had a tin of chickpea and spinach soup (it was disgusting) for 180 calories and a slice of wholemeal bread for 71 calories...

Thankyou. I'm so hungry! But I'm doing ok, I haven't eaten yet today but going to the supermarket in a bit so will find something low calorie to have for dinner later, and maybe save a few for a really small bit of chocolate lol. Thanks for the advice, it is helping by telling myself that...

Hope they update it soon :) x Well, enough is enough! So fed up of messing about now, I want to be at target this year so I am starting the 5:2 tomorrow, with healthy (kind of sw based) days for feast days. I can and will do this... I've got to! X

And thank YOU for the recipes :)

Hiya :) I'm not sure to be honest, it's something like 2.4g fat and about 0.8g sat fat so I assume it's going to be syn free or fairly low syns. I couldn't find anything about it when I searched online tho, but it's fairly new I think so hopefully they will up date it soon x Glad you're feeling...

I love that advice, Thankyou. As long as I do the best I can, I will get there as you say. There's no rush :) x Lunch: 2 scrambled eggs, whole meal roll and spinach Dinner: m and s count on us bean chilli (quite nice, handy too), wedges, spinach and 30g cheese Extras: bel vita breakfast...

Why do all the best weekends have to involve tasty naughty food?! :( I hate the thought of doing the shred! Once I start I'm ok though, although jillian michaels can get annoying lol x Been really hungry today! Been fancying brownies, cakes... Everything. Nearly caved but I didn't and made...

Totally 100% understand. For the last week I have been doing that, forgetting about slimming world and just focussing on eating 'normally' and healthily (although the less said about the weekend the better lol). I also go through the cycle of sw, binge, sw etc and I'm just so fed up with myself...

Hiya, my foods been awful since Friday lol. Valentines day involved pizza, millionaires shortbread, chocolate and just about everything! Saturday I was good but yesterday we went to tgi Fridays and to the theatre as part of our val day celebrations and I didn't choose healthy options haha Fed...

Oh no, I'm so sorry. As others said, I don't know what to say but sending lots of positive thoughts and remember people are always about if you need a chat xx

Haha, I'm hoping for breakfast in bed tomorrow too lol Healthy eatings been going well, I definitely feel it's helped me. I am still having a bit of 'naughty stuff' but im really enjoying the balance I.e not having any choc because I've already had a biscuit, for example. Tomorrow is likely to...

So sorry to hear about your dad, hope you're all doing ok. Take care of yourself x

Donner looks delicious! You're doing so well at the moment, well done :) ohh and your scan bran cake you made sounds amazing x

Definitely, no matter what anyone says having a 'normal' weekend whilst on sw is really hard! As you say, it's pretty impossible to go out for lunch, have a coffee or a cake! I've really missed that and think its why I go off plan fairly often - I just want to eat normally and not feel left out...

Hiya! I'm fine thanks guys, must admit I fell off the wagon Friday :( massive brownie, muffin, crisps etc... Barely anything on plan! Saturday was better but not great lol. I'm seriously thinking about giving 5:2 a go tomorrow as ive seen how well it suits you (fast days Mondays and...

But why is it only fruit that's allowed though (officially)? What about vegetables? They are super free too.

They are nice arent they, and really quick and easy too! Green day Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on. Wholemeal roll (healthy b) Lunch: mugshot, apple, yoghurt Dinner: quorn meatballs in tomato sauce with spaghetti and spinach plus healthy a cheese Extras: cappuccino (2), caramel wafer (3)...

Thanks everyone, it felt good to be in control and that I was able to stop the 'oh well might as well eat loads of carp' attitude before it started. :) Oops been forgetting to do my food diary these last few days. My foods been a bit random, on plan but random - I had just plain pasta the...

When you waste ingredients making sw brownies, yuk! They were vile. And also when you drop a whole bottle of sesame oil all over the kitchen floor, good job I like the smell of it lol x

Just realised forgot to post my food diary the last few days oops. All been on plan tho, even at the cinema lol. Really proud of myself today, I've had a 'I want to eat everything' binge feeling all day and I stopped off in costa to grab a latte and a muffin. I did eat it and thought oh well...

Aw I'm sorry to hear it hasn't been a great month. As you say, the diet can wait. Take time to yourself and refresh your batteries. Have as much wine as you need and on Monday you can try again and take it one step at a time. Have a lovely weekend and take care of yourself. Have lots of...

Foods looking good, I must remember to get some maggi packets I really want to try some too. And I love the fact that you can just leave it in the bag and forget about it while it cooks. What ones would you recommend the most? I had an omelette today, you made me really fancy one lol x P.s...

Thankyou, I'll try!. I didn't mange to save any syns today, galaxy kept calling my name! Will have to reduce them tomorrow. I did extra easy today Breakfast: spinach and smoked salmon omelette Lunch: homemade butternut squash and carrot soup (it was ok but I'm not really a huge soup or bns...

Hiya, straight back on it today and it feels good! Still haven't got my Christmas gain off but oh well, it will do eventually. Yep feeling much better thanks although am still so hungry at the moment, can't stop thinking about food lol. Extra easy Breakfast: yoghurt, apple Lunch: wholemeal...

Glad you had a lovely time. Sounds fab! Haha love the father cat chat, my oh constantly has to have those with bobby as bobby likes to meow through the night, every night - very loudly! Naughty bailey though, male cats are so naughty when it comes to fighting, why can't they just all get along...

Hiya, I just wanted to say that I agree with some of the brilliant advice you've been given. Well done for coming back, remember that we're not going to judge you and we've definitely all been there. Sorry if I sound like I'm just copying everyone else but it's true. Binge eating is such a hard...

Sorry to hear about your dad :( How are you doing today? X

Hope you've had a lovely weekend :) x

Hi guys :) I am fine Thankyou sian how are you? Can't believe weekend is over already! X This weekends been very off plan, it's that time of the month (sorry if tmi) and I just haven't stopped eating and thinking about food! It was probably a lazy decision and rather unwise but I decided to...

Drink 3 cups of green tea tomorrow :)

Hope you're ok x

Sounds fantastic. Have a lovely time and don't worry about those pesky little syns :) Hope the weather stays dry for you x

Really enjoyed my food today Green day Breakfast: baked beans on a whole meal roll with cheese (healthy a + b) Lunch: uncle bens express vegetable rice (2 syns), yoghurt, apple Dinner: tomato and spinach pasta with mozzarella (healthy a), 2 Linda McCartney sausages and Brussels...

Thankyou. You should give it a go, it's lovely! Must admit I was a bit apprehensive at first but it's delicious :) x Well done on your loss by the way!

It wasn't really was it :( I did feel quite weak and tired yesterday so thats probably why. Dinner wasn't a very big portion really, we went to OH's mums, shoes sw but she does pretty small portions, not good when you're greedy like me haha. Made up for it today tho :) x

Thankyou :) Green day today Lunch: whole meal roll (healthy b) with laughing cow (part healthy a), Apple, yoghurt Snack: mugshot Dinner: 2 quorn chicken fillets, potatoes, and vegetables Extras: not sure what im having for syns yet but won't have any more than 10 - I'm trying to save a...

I'm with you on the whole fruit thing, I only really eat apples (which I'm not really a huge fan of, I just eat them because I feel I have to!) but I do want to eat more of it so I'm thinking about being naughty and puree ing some strawberries or something and adding to natural yoghurt to make a...

Well done on your loss! It's brilliant when you don't think you're going to lose but do x

You eat quite a lot of veg really! I'm the same with onions and mushrooms - prefer them mixed into things. As long as you do your best and fit in a bit of veg when you can then I wouldn't worry too much. Do you reckon you'll try the veg boxes? Are you enjoying doing sw again? :) x

Done! Tomorrow: eat a bigger lunch (I often found I haven't eaten enough and end up super hungry mid afternoon and desperate for cake!)

I've been good :D Green day Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on whole meal roll (healthy b) Lunch: mugshot Dinner: Pete's peanut butter curry (5 syns) using quorn and vegetables, rice. Sw chips Extras: Special K chewy bar (healthy b), 30g cheese (healthy a), cadburys (5.5 syns) Syns: 10.5

Weekend was good Thankyou but went too fast - always do don't they! I had a somewhat off plan weekend tho (not overly so tho so I was quite proud of myself) due to family birthday celebrations etc. weigh in this morning and I had stayed the same which I was also rather pleased with! I've been...

Done! Tomorrow: stick to 15 syns or less (weigh in day today and I've had quite a lot of syns which is silly I know)

Fantastic thread. Mine for tomorrow will be to put 110% effort into the 30 day shred.

Sounds like a lovely food day, Mexican chicken sounds yummy - is it tasty? It doesn't matter if you don't lose 7lbs this month, as long as you do your best I'm sure you'll still have a good loss - there's always February ;) How was work in the end - glad it's Friday lol? X

Hello :)How are you doing? X

Aw you're right it really is annoying when that happens! And I hate to waste food so just have to put up with it which is even more annoying lol Green day Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on a whole meal roll (healthy b), Costa skinny latte (healthy a) Lunch: jacket potato and baked beans Dinner...

Foods looking good, well done :) x

Aw, hope you're ok and that things are getting sorted xx

How are things today? x

If I were you, I wouldn't try an over think the plan too much. Vegetables are good for you, lots of vitamins and minerals etc and they are super free for a reason so just go with it... If you want lots of carrots and Brussels sprouts (yum I love them), go for it and don't worry about how much is...

Hope you're feeling better. Aw, please don't feel like you've blown it - we all have slip ups and hopefully once you're not feeling so hormonal you'll be able to fully get back into the swing of it, but for now just do your best. Xx

Aw I'm glad you're feeling better with your back and that you're giving sw another go - as Doreen said, do your best and just see how you get on and if I were you I wouldn't get hung up on the super free front. I hope work gets a bit better for you, sounds hard at the minute. Managers are...

Thankyou :) it's worth trying it isn't it, see how you get on for a few weeks with sw and then see after that x Green day today Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on a whole meal roll (healthy b) Lunch: mugshot, yoghurt, Special K chewy bar (healthy b) Dinner: Linda McCartney Rosemary sausages, sw...

Thankyou. Maybe you could do slimming world during the week and then just healthy eating/calorie counting at weekend? That way you could still have a few extra treats ie a bit of cake without worrying about syns. It's difficult tho isn't it, finding something that works for you. Perhaps you...

Yup I know, now it's pretty much over isnt it :( ive got that sunday night dread. ah, why can't it be Christmas again, lots of time off! X Extra easy today Brunch: spaghetti hoops on a wholemeal with cheese (healthy a + b) Dinner: chicken, loads of mushy peas, potatoes and vegetables...

Asda chickpea dhal (in a tin) is syn free and can be heated up quickly in the microwave. Batchelors pasta and sauces are mainly syn free or low syn (made with water) and are ready in about 10 minutes. Add some vegetables/salad and there you go. When you've got the time to cook tho, make big...

Hello :) ohh did you get much gardening done? Visited family today, went to see OH's nan, whose hard work - she's sweet bless her, but she does like to moan and whine about absolutely everything so it can be hard work. Then went to my parents for dinner, nice not having to cook! Got lots of...

Green day today Brunch: poached. 1 Linda McCartney sausage, 1 poached eggs, baked beans Dinner: at parents - jacket potato, 2 quorn sausages (the synned ones I think but not sure how many - maybe I'll call them free lol), baked beans, cheese (healthy a)' whole meal roll (healthy b) Extras...

Hiya, I'm good Thankyou how are you? Can't believe it's nearly Sunday tomorrow already, these weekends go too quick! X Thanks Mandy :) x

Fantastic food day, and you sound very positive about getting the pounds off so that's brilliant well done :) x Yay glad to hear things are going well with your guy. Like you say, there's no rush to tell your parents. Just tell them when you feel ready to :) x What are you up to tonight? X

Evening to myself tonight, bit of a danger zone for me food wise so I've planned accordingly Green day Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on a wholemeal roll (healthy b) Lunch: jacket potato and baked beans Dinner: pasta with veg and cheese (healthy b) Extras: 250ml milk (healthy a) made into...

Looks delicious!

It's our favourite day, Friday! :D what are you up to this weekend? x

A bar of chocolate of course! ;)

Vegetable curry and rice

Yay glad your day turned out better than you thought and hope that today's been a good day too :) x

Thankyou, I hope so. It feels so nice to be back on track! It really is true that eating rubbish makes you feel rubbish. Green day Breakfast: 2 poached eggs on a wholemeal roll (healthy b) Lunch: mugshot, apple, yoghurt, Special K Chewy bar (healthy b) Dinner: meant to be a potato and...

Well done, that's brilliant! And well done for being good after weigh in too. You're doing so well :) x

Thankyou, it was nice as it was one of those things I just made up as I went along. I couldn't take a picture of dinner earlier as my phones run out of memory (don't really understand why tho, it's an iphone and I don't even have any music on there!), it's a little worrying how disappointed I...

That a dash of milk here and there in a tea/coffee is totally free ;)

Ah sorry to hear things aren't too great :( I hope your mum has cheered up for you. Sorry you're dissapointed with your loss but, easier said than done, remember its still a loss and definitely headed in the right direction. Maybe your body's taking a whole to catch up and you'll have a bigger...

Ohh I see, yep definitely makes sense. I think that's really good of you and I think it's fab that you're still able to stick to plan without many syns, I know I'd definitely lose my motivation without having any! You're doing so well at the moment I bet you'll have a brilliant loss this week :) x

Thankyou, it was very nice! Extra easy today Lunch: mugshot, Special K chewy bar (healthy b) Dinner: chicken curry with mushrooms and spinach, rice and brocolli Extras: smoked salmon, yoghurt, birthday cake (15), 250ml milk (healthy a) warmed up with 1 tsp sugar (1 syn) Syns: 16

Thank you, it feels good to be back! Ohh I know, it does make you feel rather posh too doesn't it haha. Dinner- KFC chicken, lettuce/carrot, chips and baked beans plus a quick (free) dip I made. Still find it weird sometimes that we can have such big meals on a diet! X

Yummy food day, dinner sounds delicious! And I know what you mean about wanting to work part time, I don't have kids or anything but often feel like I could do with working less hours just so I can get things done and have more time to chill. Ah, we can dream! Just out of interest, and hope...

Thanks everyone, I had a lovely day! I went out for a very synful afternoon tea, I felt very posh lol. Am so ready to be back on the wagon today after 3 weeks of bad food, have felt so tired and lethargic and have had lots of bad headaches because of all the sugar. I have also gained 9lbs in 3...

That's very true! That stuffed feeling really is horrible. It's my birthday tomorrow :D fairly off plan today but not overly so really, my excuse is how can I possibly diet when it's my birthday eve? Haha. No excuses as from Monday! (Must find an excuse for Sunday...lol) x

Well done on your loss, I know you wanted more but remember a loss is still a loss and should be celebrated :) you've got a really healthy attitude and sound very positive x

Good luck for weigh in :) x

It's a war film set in northern England (during the war), which wouldn't usually be my cup of tea but the acting is incredible. It's about Americans who were stationed over here during that time to help out and how they fit in with the community, make friends, fall in love etc... there's also a...

When you see a film you've never seen before and it's truly brilliant! I'm not usually a big film fan but I've just watched Yanks and I thought it was amazing. New favourite film for sure :) x

Happy new year :) Oh dear tho, I hope the hangover goes soon! X

I decided to try a sw day today, I've missed healthy food! I might go slightly over syns I'm not sure yet but I'm weaning myself back onto it. Starting properly on Monday. I feel so hungry tho, it's weird not be constantly grazing as I have done all week! Extra easy Brunch: 2 fry light fried...

Aw, do you like having a birthday so close to Christmas? I never did when I was younger, I always felt annoyed that people always seemed to be skint and on a bit of a downer after Christmas lol. Don't mind it so much now tho. What are you up to for your birthday? :) x

I know what you mean, I'm trying to he good today and all I can think about is food! For the last week I've just been constantly eating, as you say it's so easy to fall back into that habit again. Of course, my name is Becky :) I do assume your name is Mandy? Lol. I know what you mean, minis...

Sorry about the reaction you got about bailey :( I don't like how heartless people can be when it comes to animals - they are our families! I know what you mean about needing something to look forward to, it does help to get through the days doesn't it. As someone suggested, how about just a...

Hiya, thankyou. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and that you're enjoying the time off of work :) x Omg I've been so naughty, the scales are not my friends at the moment. They're so mean! Haha. Thoroughly deserved though. I'm looking forward to getting back on plan but not really sure when...

Woo well done you for getting back on plan, that's brilliant. Bet it feels good doesn't it! I hope you had a good Christmas? :)

Hope you're well and having fun ;) x

But then it got worse... Much worse lol. I had such good intentions and they've just gone out the window haha. I feel so unhealthy and fat tho, it's almost as tho I can't wait for all the naughty foods to be gone so I'm no longer tempted. Today so far: Poached eggs on wholemeal roll Tassimo...

Oh no poor thing, hope he turns up soon x

I'm going to list what I've eaten in the hope it will shock me into action or something lol Breakfast: wholemeal roll with laughing cow Lunch: prawns with dip, Special K crisps, shop brought prawn sandwhich Snacks: 5 (!!!!!) mini salted caramel tarts, 2 mini cheesecake bites, can of coke...

Woo well done on losing the quarter of a lb. it's great when you lose when you're not expecting to isnt it. It's so hard to diet right now. I just can't get myself motivated. Like you say, 2014 can and will be your year. Losing weight is not a race, there's no rush and you are consciously...

Dinner, prawn stir fry x

I've been enjoying it a bit too much I think lol. I've been so naughty again today, I'm finding it so difficult to get out of the 'oh well, it's Christmas!' Attitude. Ill write down what I've had though Breakfast: poached eggs on wholemeal roll Lunch: mugshot, Special K chewy bar Snacks...

Thank you, I did have a good weekend but not food wise. I've been extremely naughty ! 100% day tomorrow! :) well, I hope haha x

Always the way when you have a haircut isn't it! I know I'm exactly the same lol. I'm glad it's looking nicer for you now that you've sorted it yourself. What have you got planned for the weekend? :) x

Hope you're ok x

Been very naughty today! My meals were fine, it's just been the extras lol I am struggling a bit at the moment and I know it's because of Christmas coming up and having that 'oh well' attitude. I'm trying hard to snap out of it but have decided my motto for the next couple of weeks is to be on...

You're on a roll! Well done :) x

Oh no poor you, hope you feel better soon x

They're nice aren't they, really handy to have in. Especially as I really can't be bothered cooking at the mo! I love cooking but by the time I get home from work I always make the mistake of sitting down for a bit and then I just can't be bothered lol. Green day Lunch: wholemeal roll with...

It's so hard isn't it, this dieting stuff :( I often wish that I didn't have to worry about what I eat, or were one of those people that can eat what ever they want and not gain weight. But like you say, I don't want to be fat either so we've gotta do what we've gotta do. All we can do is try...

Haha selfies are all the rage at the moment aren't they lol. The amount of times I've walked into girls loos and seen people posing in the mirror! Extra easy today Breakfast: Special K chewy bar (healthy b) Lunch: mugshot, apple Dinner: pasta and sauce with added veg - I couldn't be...

I totally agree with the girls above. Be gentle with yourself and remember weight/eating isnt always the be all and end all. You're going through a stressful time at the moment and it's understandable that sw isn't your top priority. Take some time out for yourself to relax and unwind xx

Sorry about the silly guy last night. You know what men are like when they're with their Mates, i bet he didn't mean what he said and was just saying it. Even so, you're better off without him. I like option 2 as well :) don't let him get you down. Hope you've had a good day today x

It's tough, but hopefully worth it! Level 1 of it is on YouTube too x

Thankyou. Yeah I must admit, there are quite a lot of shoulder exercises in it, and also lots of sit ups as well so it might not be the best thing for your back. Maybe you could do a modified version of it, do something else while she says to do the sit ups etc. xx

That looks lovely! Hope you enjoyed it :) x

Definitely bikini! You're so slim and pretty, you're definitely not too big for one at all. Like you say, you could always pack both and see how you feel when you're there :) Hope you're enjoying your night x

Me too - went to an all you can eat buffet! Enough said lol. I'm sure you could still get a loss this week! I find it helps to not think of it as having blown but rather just having a small break and getting right back on it and back to work. What matters is that you've enjoyed :) and you know...

Hi stevie hope you dont feel like everyone's ganging up on you as we are just trying to help but just wanted to say that a few years ago (when I was very slim) I used to skip meals all the time, only eating a very small dinner during the week days and nothing else. Obviously, that was unhealthy...
