Last couple of weeks have been a disaster if I'm honest. Be glad when flu a day bug season are over I've been perpetually I'll since Christmas

Well felt so rubbish yesterday that I didn't go to group to get weighed. Had a disaster of a week. Virtually no exercise, foods been appalling and I've been ill and so has Mark. Going to try and get back into it this week. Got a night out on Saturday at the festival of the dead in Sheffield...

No. They are meals that have been dried out like a pasta and sauce or bean feast and you add boiling water and leave them to rehydrate.

Today's food B:2 slices Warburton wholemeal bread(hexb), beans, mushrooms L: D: hm cottage pie, veggies S: options drink

Well still feeling crap but need to do some shopping later. Also thinking about putting some dehydrated meals together this weekend for our hiking trips. We're hoping to start getting out into the peak District at Easter and we are having about 10 days in the Lakes. Don't want to take packet...

Good luck with the car ☺

Use your syns if you can. The thing is if you don't use them now, when you hit a plateau you have no wiggle room if you aren't eating them, which is when you will have to then start cutting back on free foods and I've found in the past that is when I cave in and go off plan because I'm hungry...

I've been sulking :roofles: Had a rubbish week and couldn't be bothered lol! Back on it now though. Glad you're feeling a bit more positive, we all go there sometimes but it's great to come on here and let off some steam. I'm like you, I'd rather have a weekend away than go out for a fancy...

That was only while we were there, I also had a McD's and pie and chips as well as sausage rolls, crisps, chips, and other crap throughout the week lol! Yes but I felt so ill after I'd eaten them!

Don't give up, we all go through rubbish phases and it seems like you are paying for nothing but it will eventually start coming off again, try mixing up how many syns you're having, maybe only do one SP day one week and then more the following week and then drop back down to one day. It mixes...

Did you go to group last night, I popped in to the half 5 one, got weighed and then came out. Went for a lovely walk instead. I'm going to gym on Friday but it will be after work.

Well had a totally crap week, felt off it and didn't stick to plan. Failed my theory test so that bummed me out. Went to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park with Katy and had a lovely day but ate 4 donuts lol! Any hoo managed to lose the 1/2lb I put on last week so happy with that. Full of cold and...

Hey you, are you coming to group. I made yummy things for the taster ;)

I know it's taking forever :rolleyes: Always does with me but this time I have a goal and a deadline and really want to get to it. I've never really set a proper goal before. We've booked a cottage in Glenridding, no hot tub but a nice big garden for Bailey to play in. He's a spoilt brat and...

2lb to get my stone, hoping for a little bit more as failed to get my stone in 8 weeks which was last months goal. We are off work for 2 weeks in May and have at one of those weeks booked in a cottage in the Lakes, we have also been planning some wild camping this year and I've just ordered a...

So Sunday, I can't actually remember what I ate, had a couple of days off social media, just chilling out and being super lazy. I had a funny day food wise yesterday, ended up having a bit of a wobble after aqua fit as my blood sugar dropped and ended up with wotsits and a sugary coffee to get...

Looks great!

The ML chocolate fix desserts were from your co-op lol! Bitten sounds right up my street, I love Underworld, the werewolves were my favourite. What time do you normally set off for the wild life park, I have my theory test Sat morning, really early!

I've got my theory test next saturday morning so it would have to be after that, I think it's about 8am in Sheffield.

I don't think it sent :confused: How rude! I'll try again in a bit, my phone needs charging, it's nearly dead!

Sent you pic :)

Lol! I'm as far from sporty as it gets but I must admit, I love the gym and I've always been a water baby :) I have to say, I think Katy and I spent more time laughing than exercising in the aqua fit, it didn't help that the guy doing it was quite attractive (well to a middle aged old biddy...

Forgot to say, glad you came to aqua fit with me tonight, I would have looked stupid laughing hysterically all by myself :rotflmao:

Had a bit of a lazy day as I'm off work for a few days. Decided to move my computer and switch desks around in my craft studio, got bored of that and went to bed for a couple of hours lol! Then was rushing as Katy and I were going to aqua fit at 5:30 lol! Went to gym and did 3/4 of an hour...

Aww! Excellent, I hope you did a little happy dance at the scales, I do lol!

OMG! Have you tried the muller light salted caramel chocolate fix desserts! Picked some up after dropping you of, they are gorgeous! 4.5 syns, was going to have my cream egg but spotted the pork crunch and that's 9 syns so I've had a bag of that and a chocolate fix dessert instead.

You sound so different form a few weeks ago! Go you! So positive, it's fab :) Good luck for tonight hunny :)

Lol! Ours tells you to do that, she's brilliant, very laid back and quiet. Not all in your face all the time, can't stand those kind of consultants.

I never understand why some consultants say that as they are specifically mentioned both in your book and on the website, Slimming World themselves say you can do it. I think some of them make their own rules up. The diet wouldn't work for me if I couldn't have flexi syns, so they would be...

You ok hun

Woop lost 2lb. And got slimmer of the week

Shattered again. But had a good day food wise so far. Don't know if I'm going to have tea. Might just go to bed. Had to take my strong painkillers for my back last two days and they wipe me out. Plus it was a crappy day at work today

97 syns for week so far. That means only 8 syns for next 3 days yikes!

Feeling really rubbish tonight. Felt crap last night so went to bed as soon as I got in so about half eight-ish. Had lunch today and then fell asleep for about 4 hours on sofa. Just come up to bed, it's about 20 past 10 and I feel like I could sleep for a month. Haven't added Fridays food as...

What time you going to gym, we are going later :) Are you swimming too? Think I'm going to try to get to the 5:30 lane swimming session, then gym. Mark was watching body pump, think he might be up for it :D Also he is thinking about body attack, which I think he would like as it's martial...

I'll be glad when I can drive, trouble is then I'll be passing a services with McD's, KFC and Starbucks :rotflmao: Mark likes it too, we don't have it very often as I can't stand handling it raw :bolt:

Need to have a good day today, hopefully going to the gym and maybe a swim later. Got the new Free and Easy cook book so doing the liver and bacon recipe from that for tea :) Today's Nosh B: 3 plums, hifi bar(1/2 HEXB), DG cafe au lait (2) L: HM mushroom soup, 3 boiled eggs, orange D: Chicken...

Carbs are my downfall, especially potatoes and lovely crusty bread :worthy:

Ha! Ha! Made you fess up :p Meatball pasta bake was good, I cooked enough for at least 4 large portions, maybe even 5 and greedy pants Mark has eaten at least half of it! So tired, off to bed :) night all, sweet dreams :snoopyhouse:

I know, Mark wanted chippy but I said no. No more now until our hols! I did try, I was just so exhausted. Ordered some ready meals to help out a bit, it will help me to not cave in and have rubbish I think. It's a long day when I go in to work, and I'm just shattered at the mo anyhoo...

Well done on no carbs, I would really struggle with that, I can't do SP as I'm diabetic so would probably flake out lol!

Mmmm! That looks yum! I love beetroot, need to remember to add it to my shopping. Lost a lb, very happy :D

You are doing amazing! Even if you did go to KFC :p

Lost a pound tonight, very happy with that after the week I've had. Also went to the gym just before WI and managed my whole training session, I did only manage 10 minutes on the Xtrainer but also did and extra 20 mins on the treadmill :) Had a great driving lesson today too and had tea...

You could add in some extra protein. That would help to keep you fuller for longer :)

That's the bits I can remember, I know there have been odd sweets, extra stuffing balls, extra milk and stuff that hasn't been counted. And I also know it's the little bits we don't count that put the weight on in the first place!

Ergghh! Rather you than me lol! Think that would put me off eating :D

Mines is deffo hormones as well as work. I'm craving junk, especially sugar.

So, Sunday I was at Stitches which is a big trade show at the NEC, wasn't expecting to work but got roped in to working in the workshops lol! It was a very early start and I didn't get home until about 8:30pm. Food for Sunday B:Banana, hifi bar L: 6in Subway veggie delight on 9 grain wheat...

Sorry, super tired the last few days and my food has been rubbish, although I have been tracking, I just can't seem to leave the junk alone. Oh well new week, new start tomorrow.

Shattered this week will update last few days tomorrow.

Nobody was staring, they were all busy in their own little worlds of pain lol! Just me being paranoid. I had loads of speed food on my plate, I'd just put too much food out altogether. Eyes bigger than my belly!

It was fun once I got over feeling like everyone was watching me lol! Just inhaled my dinner, though I do think I need to cut down on portion size, couldn't eat it all I had put that much out!

Well I had my gym induction :eek: Managed 10 mins on treadmill:whacky068:, 8 mins on Xtrainer :hide: 13 mins on cycle:woohoo: 10 seconds plank :roofles: some other floor work:bunnydance: And did some resistance training :character00116: I am having my tea and then going to lie down in a dark...

Thanks! Do it! I was in heaven lol!

I know, yesterday was an epic fail day, went to sign up at the gym, then went to Crystal Peaks and Drakehouse and got waylaid by McD's. Oh well wrote it off and drawn a line, stupid thing was, all the dinner was prepped and ready to cook. Need to have it today to make sure it doesn't get...

And now you have a gym buddy :D :character00116::whacky068::greenapple:

Sounds yummy! I'm making silken tofu choc mint dessert tonight, hoping the tofu sets up on it's own as I don't have any gelatin. I think it should as it quite firm when it comes out of the packet, it's just been blitz to death though so might not. I'll leave it in the fridge all day and see...

It was gorgeous! Just disappointed I had to add flour, it would have been syn free otherwise. I was greedy and ate 2 portions.

Dinner time!

I have and will be paying for some 12 week countdowns, keeps me on track knowing I've already paid that money out for group! Believe me, he has his moments lol! I don't have kids but I do have an adorable fur baby :) WOW! You can really see a difference, you look fabulous hunny :) A 12...

Aww well done for not caving in and hope you have a better day tomorrow :)

Mmmm! I want your dinner, I've been sat thinking about food all day, resisted the urge to eat for the sake of it and kept drinking my water, waiting for tea now :)

Ooo! Thank you! You've just made my day, I'll be 50 in two years :eek: OMG! That is the first time I've ever wrote that down, scary. We met when I had just turned 16 and it was 2 weeks away from his 17th birthday, so we were still babies :) We are both so excited about this year, can't wait...

It was ok, I don't like leeks much and wished I'd blitzed and then added the beans, that way I wouldn't get any weird lumps *shudder*

HEY! I would have fed you, what more do you want :roofles: Fish was gorgeous and I did only eat a bit of the batter, chips were ok, had a few, think I chucked away more than I ate, Mark inhaled his though lol! Lunch

Glad mine and Mark's birthdays and anniversaries all fall in May, 2 weeks of pure indulgence :roofles: Booked a cottage for a week and a week at home and I will be having a holiday from SW, I think by then I will have earned it :D It's our 32nd year as a couple this year and our silver wedding...

I wouldn't have been able to resist the dessert shop, it would have been rude not to :whistle:

Did you manage to get to a group, I think you'd really benefit as a lot of the syns and stuff that are floating about out there are out of date. Don't be disheartened,your weight can fluctuate up to 2lb either way on a daily basis. Lots of things affect it, water retention, food you eat, when...

Oo! Where did you go, Churchills? I love their food, I always have a roast dinner or quiche, salad and chips!

Happy belated birthday hunny :) This is why I bought a 12 week pass, to stop me skipping weeks if I think I've put on, I also got rid of my scales too, that way it forces me to keep on track. Keep at it hun and it doesn't matter if you put a bit on, it'll come off the next week.

Sorry for your loss and the crappy work related stuff, lets keep our fingers crossed for a better week. I totally relate to the reaching for food when feeling emotional/stressed etc. I'm the same. Well done for sticking it out and not caving in to those cravings :)

Well yesterday was a bit of a fail. Only lost 0.5lb, serves me right for eating crappy packet food all week! Yesterday was a perfect fail as I ended up in Greggs AGAIN! and had a sausage roll and mocha, was good at lunch time and ate my packed lunch, but then stuffed my face at the taster...

It got done lol! Today would be better cos I'm making flowers, I could have set you on :D

Burger was nice, Mark got huge bread cakes though, so had to partly syn them. Yes we need to get together more often, I am still working lol! Next time you will have to come and sit while I work :D Tomorrows lunch all packed up and ready to go YUM!

Ooo! chocolate and strawberries, I could murder someone for that right now :angeldevil: WI tomorrow so being good, might have something yummy tomorrow night. Hubby wanted a takeaway tonight but I said no, I wanted chippy last night and he said no lol! At least we are managing to keep each...

LOL!

Way better value, plus some of the jars you buy have oil in them so you have to syn them!

I know what you mean about it being expensive. I am supposed to get mine done any way for my job, but I tend to do them myself a lot of the time. My hands have to look good as I do a lot of videos and my hands are on camera lol!

I buy frozen garlic too, I get mine usually from the Asda in the world food section in the freezer as you can buy a big bag for about 99p, I also buy grated frozen ginger for curries and stirfrys, it's in the same section.

On a happier not, I'm treating myself and going to get my nails done on Saturday :) And I'm off to a trade show and an award ceremony on Sunday, as my lovely boss has won lots of fabby awards :) It's nothing posh but it's a new experience and I'm looking forward to it. Plus driving lesson in...

Aww thanks hunny :) I've had this cough since before Christmas, I was off work with it 3 days before Christmas Eve. I get it every year but it seems to be worse than usual this year. And I suffer from a few other ailments that make things hard work sometimes. I try not to dwell on them or I...

Subbing :)

Only the diet ones are about 4.5, I have the G& slimline tonic and the Smirnoff and diet coke cans and they are both 4.5, I would say that the mojito is more likely to be 8 or 9 syn boooo! Also remember, you weren't eating last week while you were poorly so it might just be your body catching up :)

Today's nosh B: banana, yogurt L:Salad with spinach, toms, peppers, mushroom and ham omelette, yogurt, hifi bar 3 D: Salad with spinach, peppers, toms, cucumber, carrot and spring onion, bacon double cheese burger made with SW burger, leerdammer light cheese slice (1/2HEXA) bacon, red onion...

Still feeling rubbish and feel exhausted :( This cough isn't going and it seems to be getting worse, think it's my asthma, the cold and damp is aggravating it :( Was in work yesterday and went to bed as soon as I'd had dinner last night. Went way over syns yesterday but haven't been having all...

I'll post a pic tomorrow when I've washed and blow dried it how I like it.

Not feeling great today, haven't eaten a great deal and didn't eat all my dinner. I've got a horrible bloated tummy so off to bed :(

He's never liked me with short hair, lol! Sick of having to try and make it look reasonable for work, at least now I can blowdry and tong it in a few minutes instead of spending an hour with the tongs or straightener. I didn't like how she styled it but once it's washed and I've done it, it...

That pasta salad looks lush! Enjoy your evening hun :)

Well been to hairdressers and had my hair chopped off and lightened, going back in 4 weeks and having it lightened some more. Fancied a change and it really did need a good cut. Not sure Mark is convinced lol! Today's nosh B: Nothing L: Poached eggs, tinned tomatoes, Warbies wholemeal...

They were excellent steaks, a bit expensive but seeing as I doubt very much Mark is going to take me anywhere for Valentines, I'd treat myself.

Changed my mind about dinner, did some shopping at asda and picked up two gorgeous sirloin steaks :eating:

Totally worth it and when we go hiking, we normally take things like scotch eggs, I will be making these in future, instead of buying high syns rubbish from the services.

I got the lamb out to make lamb tagine but then spotted the balti recipe and I have all the ingredients so going for that instead

Today's nosh B: Melon and ML 0%greek yogurt L:4 Ryvita hexb, spagetti hoops, 3EL laughing cow triangles 1/2 hexa, ham, orange, apple D:Sirloin steak, roasted baby new potatoes, onions, mushrooms and peppers, salad, HM salted caramel dessert 4.5(salted caramel hifi bar, quark, salted caramel...

I know, I was pissed off all day yesterday lol! Yes you really need to try the scotch eggs, you could always add more seasoning to the sausage meat if you fancied a different flavour.

Kelloggs Granola, Glorious Nut (35g) Lizis Mango Macadamia Granola (30g) Lizis Belgian Chocolate Granola (30g) Kelloggs Granola, Delightful Fruit (40g) Quaker Oats Wholesome Granola Goji & Blueberry (40g) These are the only ones flagging up as HEXB options on the SW site, I think if you google...

Start of a new week Thursday 09/02/17 Made scotch eggs with the porky light sausages tonight! OMG! They are amazing! 4 syns for 2 I made 4 all together and used 6 sausages and 25g of Asda panko breadcrumbs. Didn't take any photos, too busy ramming them in my gob! :eatdrink023::roofles: Nosh...

Well done hunny, that's fabby!

If it's this one, Tesco Healthy Living Lime Coriander Rice & Quinoa Mix with Vegetables, frozen 300g pack it's (150g serving) 2½ syns for half the pack. So if you split half a pack into 3 portions, I would round it at 1 syn. The photo was quite small so I couldn't make out if it was healthy...

Me too lol! Also I will not be trying planking rofl! That also seems wrong to me, as well as magic pancakes that taste like omelette with sweetener in it and scan bran! :bolt:

You're right I should be very happy with a 1lb loss, I just felt miffed as I'd resisted the coffee and walnut cake on my day out lol! I used to work in a sausage factory, so have a good idea what goes in them, didn't eat them for years lol! The kebab was ok, the chicken is always lovely as...

I tried the cauli rice but wasn't keen and I love cauliflower. I think I'd have to be really hungry to bother with it again

There's no link showing :)

If you are going to group, you should have got a number on your SW card that allows you to log in to the slimming world site. You can check syns on there , if not and you have the packaging I can check for you hun :) 5 syns seems a lot, even if it is precooked.

Hiya, can I ask, is the quinoa you are using precooked, if you are cooking it yourself from dried it's actually free, just being nosey and wondering where the syns are coming from :)

Hey you, are you going to Swallownest tomorrow, I only lost 1lb and I've been pretty good, don't think I've had enough speed food though this week. Spotted you in work but was rushing at the bank and didn't have time to pop in!

WI day lost 1lb, not that chuffed but I know why, didn't drink enough water and didn't have enough speed foods. Not to worry, at least it's coming off :) Been naughty and ordered a chicken shish kebab for tea and may have ordered a portion of chips too :hide: At least it's grilled chicken...

Wow you go girl, you've already done amazing losing 28lb! Just keep chipping away, I used to get mad because I am a slow loser and would only lose 0.5 or 1lb a week, this time I don't have scales at home so I can't sneakiy peak and fret all week and my attitude is as long as I weigh a little...

I want to get at least to the top of my healthy weight range which is 9st 10lb. Going for my 10% first which is about 12st I think.

Aww Thanks hunny :) I only wish I was small, I'm small in height lol! 13st is a lot on a 5ft 2in person lol!

I've had a cough since before Christmas, it's wearing me out at the mo :( Doggy says woof! :doggy: Greggs steak bake is 20 :eek: I love Greggs sausage rolls, so that is my one guilty pleasure on a Monday, I haven't been having all my syns and haven't had a takeaway since I started so I don't...

Tired and been freezing again all day :gen125: Been into the office and got a whole load of nothing done but at least it's a very short week as I have Wed, Thur, Fri off :woohoo: It's also my dogs birthday today, he's two:doggy: I was going to make him doggy birthday cake but haven't got around...

Yes, it's easy to get bored, don't do packet crap though, nothing nutritional at all in mug shots and pasta and sauce :stinkyfeet: Thanks :) I could do with stuffing my face with crap, craving junk today :(

I love cooking but when I get in from work if I've had to go into the office I'm too tired to be bothered. I have a soup maker which is fab, chuck all the ingredients in and half an hour later you have soup, I have even set it going while I get ready for work so I can take some with me. And a...

Oooo! YUM! Enjoy :)

The pulled chicken rice box is 4.5 syns, I normally don't syn the corn but you could syn it at 1 to be on the safe side.

You're welcome hunny :) It's amazing the things that add up that you don't think about, I'm going to an art workshop next weekend and there is a health food cafe there, you would think that it would be easy to choose something, but lots of stuff has mayo, butter and oil added and they do a fab...

Well had a busy week so far, had my second driving lesson yesterday and it went well, those roundabouts scare me lol! Missed a day or two with my food diary this week on here but I have been writing everything down in a journal just to keep track. Drank loads of water and had loads of speed...

Hey hun, good luck with the WI :) I checked on the SW syns online for you for BBQ marinade and for a tablespoon it's about 1.5 depending on the brand so I would go with that. Plus you need to syn the oil they cooked the steak in, I'd say as tsp of oil so about 2 for that. If you are going...

Well done for not giving in :wee:

Tonight's fakeaway, all homemade

About 20-25 mins but I would keep checking them to make sure they are cook through. I never though of cooking the for a snack lol! My hubby would love that, they'd be gone in five seconds flat. He's supposed to be doing this with me but only does the bits he wants lol!

Will do :D I use mine for all sorts, sausages and mushrooms are perfect in them, not so keen on cooking things like chilli though, I think it dries them out too much. Chicken drumsticks are good too and handy if you want to make sure the chicken is cooked before putting on the BBQ. Ooo! and...

Had a lovely day pottering in the kitchen making curries and icecream YUM! can't wait for my Indian fakeaway tonight!

I can understand with it being new and how expensive they are. Mines really marked but just from general use and as long as it's clean, which it is, I'm not bothered. The bits that come off will go in a dishwasher and come up ok, if you cook stuff like sausages in it, then it will get a build...

Today's nosh B: nothing L: hm houmous, 2 ryvita (hexb), orange, hm onion bhaji D: hm chicken tikka masala, rice, hm onion bhaji, hm kachumber, hm raita, , hm saag aloo, hm orange and cardamon icecream 1with tbsp honey 2.5 S: skimmed milk (hexa) Aldi Passions Deli sweet and salty popcorn 6...

This is my second actifry, ive had one since they first came out. I love it and it's used all the time. I've always used fry light, whether you use oil or fry light it's going to leave a residue and to be honest, it's a tool to be used not just to sit on the kitchen side looking pretty. And it...

Morrisons I think, got them last Valentines day so they may get them in this year too :)

Yummy lunch :eating:

Well the plan for today is this, we are off shopping later as Asda didn't deliver my poor puppies treaties or food, and I'm missing some ingredients for the curry I was making today, so I'll do that tomorrow :) Got a banging headache today, hope it does one as I've got a ton of work to do :(...

Honestly, I eat a lot and so does hubby, but when you added up all the potatoes, sweet potatoes and celeriac in the recipe there was 2.1kg of veg for 4 people. 700g of potatoes, 700g of sweet potatoes and 700g of celeriac. I halved that to 350g of each and there was still a ton of food. as a...

The chicken was good, though I think it would have been better with a sauce of some kind and I think it would be great with baked beans and a jacket spud! The gratin was nice, I found some of the flavours a bit strange because I'm not used to them. I think I'd change the celeriac for cauliflower...

Dinner was good although I think the quantities for the gratin were wrong. I halved the recipe and as a side there was still enough for four people. I ended up halving the portions again and freezing half.

Good luck with your WI :)

I know that feeling, we spend a ridiculous amount on takeaways, thing is, when I'm on SW, I will happily cook a fakeaway and enjoy it more than if we ordered it as I've been doing this so long on and off, that I'm already in the habit of not adding extra oil, salt etc. And hubby eats anything I...

LOL! It's ok, I'll pick next time. To be honest everything is a bit samey at centertainment. I used to like Frankie and Bennie's but that's gone downhill :( Having a curry feast tomorrow :D PARP! Already planned on making chicken tikka, onion bhajis, onion and tomato salad and maybe sag...

Me too, we are terrible for them, especially as I work a fair distance away from home so I get in late and we pass a services which has Macdonalds, KFC and starbucks lol! Plus Just Eat is way too easy for ordering food when you're feeling lazy! Had a rubbish few days and only lost 1/2 lb last...

Ooo! Haven't tried a rice box, I must try one :D

I hadn't heard of it ontil I saw a recipe on Twochubbycubs fb page for a risotto type thing with it. I'm not that fussed about nando's but it's Katy's favourite, I always thing the food is rubbish, it's like frozen oven chips and packet savoury rice with a bit of grilled chicken for and...

Lol! We started again at the same time, I'm much older than Katy so I'm a grumpy old lady and she's the more social one lol! It's always good to have someone who understands where you are coming from :) Chilli is good, lots of speed food in it, having it with orzo pasta which we've never had...

Well food has gone a bit wonky the last few days, should have known it would as work is chaotic. Never mind, back on it tomorrow and a nice chilli cooking for tea :)

Katy get you're ass back on here, you've got a stalker ROFL!:bolt::rotflmao:

Saturday's food Bit of an odd day as I actually went into work as we are prepping for CHA which is the largest trade show in the craft and hobby industry, so it's a big thing and everything has to be perfect for the stand and our big new product launch. All very exciting but as we ordered out...

It always amazes me how it does work, It's the only one I can happily stick to and even when I'm not "dieting" I still use a lot of the recipes etc. Because I love them :)

That sounds good with the aqua fit, usually I'm working from home Thurs/Fri. I had a bad day food wise today, I had fish and chips, all being that they were the smallest fish and chips I've ever seen lol! The tray was smaller than my phone!

There was an Aqua Fit class on last night when I went swimming and it looked like so much fun, Anna we should totally go!! Can really feel that I did exercise yesterday, so happy with that! I'd go, what time was it and do we need to book? I can only go after work

It was lovely, 3 syns, there was a lot of gravy :eating:

Just waiting for my Iceland delivery and Asda later, thought I'd start trying some new things again. Used to buy a new food to try each month at one time but we stopped doing it, so ordered a celeriac to try. Yesterday's food was pants B: Exotic fruit salad from Co-op which I didn't realise...

Well done you! Thinking I need to get off my arse and do something too.

Naughty Noodles :roofles: Bad Jono :hide:

Thank you, was happy with my first WI 2 1/2 lb off :)

Did Mother Dearest enjoy her chinese ? :eating:

Stalking you :p Had a rubbish day at work today but stuck to diet! Cough is still crap, think I'm not eating enough. Not expecting great things on Wed. Are you going to the 7.30 one, I need moral support :kissass:

Back again after almost a YEAR! :eek: Had a very nasty tumble down the stairs and that totally put paid to any dieting last year. Nearly brained myself, anyhoo I'm back, hoping to drag the hubby with me this week. Was nice that my sis Katy (itsGCbaby) is going too and she's back on here too...

Well here we are again lol! Back where I started, joined back up to SW and hopefully this time I'll stick to it. I joined back up last Wednesday and had my first proper weigh in Wednesday and lost 2.5lb, ok with that, would have liked more for my first week but as my sister pointed out, I...

Subbing :)

YAY!! I was gutted when I found out the forums were closed! Glad you're back:)

Will update nosh later, had a good day diet wise but a bad day at work yesterday and came home miserable. Off today and off out to meet my sister for lunch and then hubby for tea later :) So don't now what I will be eating but depending on where my sis wants to go, it will probably be a jacket...

Mmmmm! The beef casserole sounds delish!!! :drool: And the cheese stash, currently craving a bacon sarnie with cheese and ketchup lol!

Pumpkin is lovely, and after some fiddling the soup turned out pretty tasty and it's 0pp :D I added grated rind and juice of 1 orange, 1/2 a star anise, some cardamom pods and some splenda and it disguised the nutmeg :D I think the juice should be pointed but for the amount that went in and...

Ooo! I roast carrots, parsnips and potatoes in the actifry, totally gorgeous. And I now will only eat mushrooms on my 'fry up' if they've been cooked in the actifry. I would give the pan a little spray of frylight with the quorn sausages and for anyone doing low fat meat sausages as I had a...

That looks gorgeous, just fancy a plate of chips now lol!

I now what you mean about finding quick savoury snacks, it's something I struggle with all the time. I get about 10 to 15 mins at work in a morning, I'm up at 5.30 and can't eat at that time, so by 10ish I'm starving and needing to eat, I usually end up with fruit because it's easy but I need...

Good to hear everything is falling into place for you, it makes all the struggles worthwhile :) A marathon!!! You must be mad :crazy: No more ciggys for you!! Don't want you collapsing in a heap! Just made lentil hash for tea, done enough for 4 so 2 portions will go in the freezer, made...

Day off today so going to make that pumpkin soup I was going to make Sunday, also going to make some lentil hash and have it with baked sweet potato for tea. Had this while we were away in a little tearoom near Santon Bridge, it was gorgeous, they topped it with bacon and cheese, I'm not using...

I must admit, the thought of eating a 'normal' diet would give me the colley wobbles, I think it would take an enormous amount of will power not to worry about it and I think you're doing great. You have such a varied and interesting range of meals and your weight isn't really fluctuating that...

You'll get that off in no time hunny :)

Pretty good, lost a lb so it's still coming off and as long as it is, I'll be happy :) Definitely back in the zone this week :)

Aww! Hunny, you're in the wars just lately :bighug:No running around like a loon today and make sure you drink plenty of water and rest!

That's what you get for scoffing pizza and not sharing :Na_Na_Na_Na:

Glad you had a good time at the wedding and way to go on the loss :party0011:

Think they were all gingermen lol! Didn't look too closely though cos I was shoving them in my gob :8855:

Depends what kind of sausage it is lol!

Awww! Sorry you had a rubbish day, but the pizza looks nommy :) We don't have a Dominos near here but our local is fantastic :drool:

I weighed out a portion of the gingerbread men and as there were 2 portions of 6 and 2 of 7 I've got one of the portions with 7 in and given the other to Mark and they worked out at 4 so that's pretty good :) Todays food :) Tuesday, October 08, 2013 Breakfast 40 g Special K...

Yep, but I don't think I could trust myself with a whole loaf lol! Made the mistake of grabbing a bag of mixed nuts & raisins from the meal deal chiller to tide me over until lunch at half 3, 11pp of mistake, won't be doing that again lol! Oh well at least I have plenty of weeklies to play...

Good luck with wi hunny, and don't worry if you've put a bit on, you just got married and had your honeymoon, you don't want to spoil those memories by worrying about a little gain :)

Dinner sounds yummy, love mackerel mmmm!

It was gorgeous, so rich, when I made it I thought the portion size was a bit stingy, but there was plenty, I think next time I may not add the philly as it set quite thick, could have been used as a cheese cake filling :drool: Just having my coffee and thinking about washing my hair, work at...

Those date and apple muffins loo scrummy, do you have the recipe :) As for hanging up knickers, never heard of that but my Mum irons hers and socks etc. Me, on the other hand, doesn't iron, hang or sort anything, it's lucky if it gets to the wardrobe, usually I have a big pile of clothes on...
