I've just started Slimming World this morning and was a bit upset with myself. I've not been in this bracket for years but the only way is up! Or down I suppose :p

Weighed in at group today at 17 st 9.5 lb so I might be here for a few weeks :) i'm feeling really excited and motivated :D

I'm feeling way more positive than i was when i started this thread last well. I decided that it would be best for me to go to a group...I need the fear of getting weighed to keep me going haha! So i went to group today and I weigh a little less than i did last week :) I'm going to start my...

If I don't do it this time, I may as well just give up. I need to get myself slimmer and healthier. Today is day one. I've just weighed myself and found I'm heavier than I've ever been. I can't afford to attend any groups so I'm going to have to try and do this at home. I hope I can get a...

Friday: breakfast - boiled egg and soldiers lunch - veg and egg noodles tea - loaded mac and cheese Saturday: breakfast - eggy bread with beans. Fruit lunch - left over mac and cheese tea - meatball jambalaya Sunday: breakfast: fruit and yoghurt lunch: spaghetti on toast tea: jacket...

I weighted in last week and maintained which I was pretty happy with. Now it'll be another 3 weeks until I can get back to group so I'm going to have to stay motivated myself. This is never easy for me and I'm already dreading it but I'm going to stick to keep planning and stick to the meals I...

Shopping List: tins - baked beans x 2, chopped tomatoes x1, tuna x1, chickpeas, chick pea dahl veg - onion x 2, garlic, red peppers x 2, green pepper x 1, mushrooms, potatoes x 3, sweet potato x 1, spinach, swetcorn, courgette x2, carrots, swede, green beans, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red...

Here's my meal plan for the week. I'll post recipes (and maybe pics) as I go along, with a proper record of what I eat. Thursday Breakfast: Fruit and yoghurt Lunch: Beans on toast Tea: Smoked haddock pie Friday Breakfast: Fruit and yoghurt Lunch: Chickpea dahl loaf and salad Tea: Baked...

So, I've had to miss my weigh in two weeks in a row due to work and now an injury :( I figured I'd start a food diary to help me keep on track. I'm not sure if I've lost/gained/maintained while I've been away from group so I'm going to be super good this week. The effects can only be good...

Just got in to the 16s!! 4.5 lbs off today, making me 16 stone 6 lbs.

4.5 off! YAY!!!

First weigh in today :)

I just use broccoli, cauliflour, courgette, carrots, peppers, green beans, chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic nd any other veg i need to use up. Diced the onion and garlic and fry in fry light. Add the rest of the veg (start with the firmest like carrots and brocc and finish with softest) and add...

First weigh in today and i've lost 4lb

I got told at the hospital today that I need to lose loads of weight. This has made me feel sad and like I want to eat everything I shouldn't.

Ace. it's always good to know someone else is in the same boat as me. Let me know if you need any support :)

I'm making twice cooked honey and soy pork, shiitake rice in lotus leaf parcels and stirfried broccoli and cucumber

So, here I am again. I had a break for a while and put on everything I lost plus a little bit more. I was kind of ok with this until I had a conversation with my boyfriend's 4 year old daughter who told me that her Mum has the same coat as me but her's is smaller because she is much skinnier...

I went to raid my fridge and found left over spag bol from last night's tea. It really hit the spot! I'm starting to get some craving again now though

I very rarely drink because my hang overs are so horrific but last night, I used my syns on having a little tipple. Today, I'm really suffering for this and the hardest part is my incredible craving for savory snacks - sausage rolls/ scotch eggs/ pork pies. To make this worse, i'moff out for a...

I rejoind SW today and will be weighing in on a Saturday morning from now on :)

I'll be honest - I thought about it. But I need to remember that I've still lost 8lbs which is good going. And hopefully this new group will help. I've been really down recently and I dont think that's helped my motivation levels. I'm on medication for it now so I'm hoping that'll help too...

Hello! I'm fine thanks. Yesterday was good for me - 100% all day and feeling good for it. Today I've had a flexisyn day as I've been to the oo with my OH and his daughter. Had an ace day and didnt worry too much about what I was eating. Planning on 2 100% days now and then I have my OH's...

Im just gutted. I guess its my own fault. Going to have to really step it up this week but ive got loads on. Eugh

Put on again. 1.5 lbs :/

Yeah. I swap between tuesday nights and wednesday mornings because of my shifts at work. I know im in for a gain this week. This week coming is my oh's 30th so its going to be hard to stick to the plan...surprise party, day trip out and were having his little girl for a few days. Sigh. Oh...

Weigh in tonight but I'm not feeling a loss. I measured myself a bit today though: Bum - 50.5" -1" Waist - 40.5 -2" Bust - 43.5 - no change Thigh (right) - 27" no change Thigh (left) 27" +0.5"?? Arms - 14." each -0.5 each

I didnt. But I ate less than I normally would I'll be back on it in the morning. I just didnt want to be stuck in the kitchen when he'd just got home <3

I cant stop eating it!

My OH just rung me to say he's waiting for his train home and do I want a pizza for tea? lol.

I put on half a pound on my last one but I've put on 5 or 6 lbs in the past. I really knocks me off kilter

|I just found myself browsing the dominos website. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

I'm going for the cauliflour option instead I think!

I have a really good butcher who makes it for me :) Very lucky

My C told me that the the quorn peppered steak are now syns which is upsetting. I try not to use syns for meals if possible

I've not done it before but I'm not telling my OH it's a mushy pea curry lol. The slip of paper just says 'curry'. I'm going to do it with rice and some 1 syn samosas I'm attempting this afternoon. I've been out (in the pouring rain) to get the rest of my shopping so we have no excuses not...

I really excited about my OH coming home so I'm going to do a big Indian meal - curry with rice, onion bhajis, samosas. Maybe some saag aloo

In an attempt to be more organised I've planned a load of meals and put them all on little pieces of paper which I've stuck in a bowl on top of my fridge. Everyday I'm going to get my OH to pick one out :). Here's the list: CHICKEN KIEV WITH JACKET POTATO AND ROAST VEG FRIED CHICKEN MUSHY...

I'm about to post my list on my diary. Edit: Done it now, let me know if you want any recipes :)

I've got 14 main meals planned today so I'm going to write them out and stick them all in a bowl and get my OH to pick one out everyday. Fun game!

Ive not bern putting my food diary on here but i think ill start again. My 30 day shed dvd should be here any day now as well. My next mini goal is to lose 4.5 lbs for my stone sticker. Then i think ill only have 8lbs to drop for my club ten!

I had a takeawy for my tea - 8 syns. I've not had any syns today so thought I'd have a good treat. Did part of my food shop today (I go to different places for different things) so I'm feeling positive about the rest of the week. Weigh in on Tuesday night this week which I'm still a bit...

Not til late tomorrow :( It's been awful. I cant be bothered cooking when it's just me so I'm really struggling to stay on the plan

I'm still craving a takeaway. I think a lot of this is because my OH is away. I love cooking for him so I don't mind the effort but it just seems boring when I'm only cooking for myself. I'm also still struggling for motivation after my little gain. I keep swaying between being REALLY...

I'm still craving a takeaway. I think I might get a portion of donner meat with salad and stick it in a HEb pitta. Hmmm. I've not had any syns so far today so I'll be alright having this right?

I think I might adopt your 3 positives for the day thing. It's a really good idea!

I'm going to do mine with chicken and a big salad. Or maybe just the salad.

Going to try this today

There's a recipe for it in the recipe thread. I was dubious and had my purse and coat ready for when it failed but I actually enjoyed it. You make up a bag of smash but with less water than the instructions say (I just added it a little at a time until it was one big ball of thick mash) then...

Feeling proud of myself for making a smash pizza last night instead of getting one from the take away :) Also feeling very motivated today :)

I've just tried this for the first time. It didn't hold up too well but tasted delicious! I've read up on tips to make it a bit crispier so will definitely try again. I ate the whole thing so will make a bigger one next time. Will it hold up for lunches the next day do you think? I did mine...

Having an awful day... Cried at my boss and now i want to eat a lot of pizza

Congrats!

Oh sorry. I had a look but didnt see anything :( I'll check it out

I'm throwing a surprise party for my OH in 2 weeks and need some ideas for party food. Can anyone help?

I'm a little less prepared today :( With my OH being away, I really struggled to sleep so I got up late. The cat chewed through my phone charger last night as well so I have to leave for work early so I can buy a new one and I dont have time to make any lunch. There's a little take away food...

I got some smash today to give this a try

On it 100% from today Breakfast: Strawberries and a banana Lunch: jacket potatoe with beans and a salad (spinach, celery, cherry toms, gherkins) Tea: chilli chicken drumsticks (soy sauce, chilli sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar mixed together and spread over drumsticks) 2 syns Supper...

Good luck with your weigh in. I'm sure you'll do great!

I feel a bit better about it. I spoke to my consultant and found out I'd been making a few little mistakes that could potentially be quite a few syns so I'm looking at it as a learning curve. I think I might have been cutting a few corners without realising so I'm on it 100% from now on. I...

Put on half a lb. Really gutted. I know its only half a lb but im still really upset

I'm off to my weigh in shortly. I'm still dreading it but I'm trying to stay positive. I measured my tummy this morning and have lost half an inch in just a few days so that's a good thing, even if I have put weight on. I'm going to be 100% this week. My OH is away until Saturday now and I...

Aw your positives are ace! And I'm really glad you're feeling better :)

Why would they have to be synned?

Thank you. I've stuck to the plan 100% apart from my mishap Friday but today I'm really bloated and feel horrible. Weigh in at 9 tomorrow. Here's to a sleepless night :( |My OH is away from tomorrow night until Monday and I find it much harder to exercise self control while he's not here. Eugh!

I fell like crying. I'm dreading my weigh in in the morning :(

Breakfast - 1 slice of eggy bread (1/2 HEb) with banana Lunch - jacket potato with tuna mayo (1 syn), 2 cheese triangles (part of HEa) and a mountain on celery and beetroot Snack - strawberries and a banana Tea - Beef curry with rice (beef, garlic, chilli, onion, courgette, chickpeas, mushroom...

My OH cooked the most gorgeous beef curry with rice. It was stuffed full of veg. He's so good to me:)

Today is my first day back at work after being signed off ill for a week. I'm hoping this will make it a little easier for me to stick to the plan. I'm going to make a really good lunch and take some healthy snacks. I'm leaving my money at home as well so I can't buy anything other than what...

We were meant to be having a goat curry but the goat has somehow disappeared. I think I might do a beef curry instead?

Any herbal teas/fruit teas will help cut milk out. My favourites are rooibos, nettle & pepper mint or appke and cinnamon. yummy

Ha. Thank you. I've been 100% on plan for nearly 4 weeks except for one day. I|'m just finding it hard to motivate myself. Now I'm feeling better, I want to eat everything I see. I think it'll probably get a bit easier when I'm back at work as I'll not be able to just go in the kitchen and...

I had a massive bowl of chopped strawberries, banana and kiwi It was good

Really struggling this week and I'm not sure what to do to motivate myself :(

Today has been a pretty good day. Breakfast: banana, strawberries, kiwi fruit Snack: baked chick peas. Dime bar - 7.5 syns. Lunch: didn't have lunch because we got back from being out at a strange time so just had an early tea Tea: chicken, butternut squash and leek bake (chicken breast cut...

Yeah I just drained them and dried them with a tea towel. Sprinkled salt and chilli powder over them and cooked them until they were brown and crunchy :)

Update this with my 2lb loss as it's not on - silly me. All_About_The_Climb 6lbs (loss so far 0lb -loss to go 6lb) Bhooms: Target ?lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go ?lb) Charlotteg1988:Target 8lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go 8lb) cheekylau:Target 5lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go 5lb)...

I didn't really reply to this before, sorry. I was rushing to go out. Diet coke chicken is pretty good - I mix a bit of Chinese 5 spice or mixed spice in to make it tastier! It's also really nice if you boil a ham in diet coke (diet cherry coke is best). I really love cooking and my OH is...

I'm feeling a bit better today. Yesterday and the day before I was really down about not being able to eat the things I wanted. Now I've done some planning I feel better. Me and my OH went out with some friends for a bit today, which I was really panicking about. I struggle when I'm faced...

I'm doing alright today. Just about to update my food diary. The wii fit is a good idea, might get my OH to plug the wii in for me (I'm useless at technology)

Chicken, leek and butternut squash bake tonight :)

They were actually really tasty. Got up this morning and made some more as I'm off out for the day. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with food if I'm out all day but I've just polished off a BIG bowl of fruit!

What's magic porridge. You sound really motivated!!

I do normally do that. There's a thread in the recipes bit about baking them with salt on to make a crunchy snack - kind of a replacement for peanuts. They're meant to be nice. I've done mine with salt and a bit of chilli powder. I'm dubious

HAHAHA! I mumbled numbers to my OH. I was like mumble1 and half and he was like 'what?' FIFTY ONE AND A HALF! ALRIGHT?!?! The worst bit was when I said 51 and half and he said "cms?" *cries* I'm currently baking chickpeas to try as a syn free snack. I'll report when I've tried them lol

I measured myself before and nearly cried :( Bum - 51.5" Waist - 42.5" Bust - 43.5" Thigh (right) - 27" Thigh (left) 26.5" Arms - 14.5" each I just need to focus on the fact that those numbers are going to get smaller. I have a dress that I bought for my birthday party in February. I...

You'll be back in them in no time!

I usually use left overs for my lunches through the week. I've got loads of chicken in the freezer so I can use some of that. I also found one pork chop and one chicken leg in the freezer left over from when you get odd numbers in packets so it'd be a good idea to use those too I guess. The...

What about setting a smaller goal? Like 4lb for a pound a week?

I also planned out our main meals for Sunday, Mondy and Tuesday. I weigh in Wednesday morning this week so will do a plan for the following week on Wednesday. Saturday: Chicken burger, slimming world chips and salad Sunday: Chicken, leek and butternut squash bake Monday: Goat curry Tuesday...

So I thought I'd write a food diary on here as well to see if I can get any hints/tips on boosting my weight loss. Breakfast - Skipped breakfast today because I had a lie in Lunch - Mint and lamb meatballs with pasta and tomato sauce with veg in. (Extra lean lamb mince, onion, mint sauce...

For tea, I had chicken burger, slimming world chips and salad. Followed by cinnamon swirls (4 syns without sultana, 4.5 with)

They are awesome! I'd recommend leaving them to expand a bit longer than it says in the recipe though. yummy yummy yummy!

I dont know how! Sorry :( I only copy and pasted it. |Who knows. Anyway the list is here: Bhooms: Target ?lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go ?lb) Charlotteg1988:Target 8lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go 8lb) cheekylau:Target ?lbs (loss so far 0lb - loss to go ?lb) dancinglilly:Target 8lbs...

whats HRM?

Ok today - skipped breakfast (had a lie in). Had lamb and mint meatballs with pasta and a tomato sauce FULL of veg. Just waiting for my SW cinnamon bun mixture to rise so I can stick it in the oven and having chicken burgers with SW chips and salad for tea. I just need to be a bit more...

I had this discussion at group last week. Apparently I'm allowed to blend chickpeas in to hummus but not slice and bake potatoes for crisps? Baked chick peas sound AMAZING. yum!

You have my complete and utter sympathy. I had an unplanned day off yesterday and can't stop thinking about the possible damage I've done. I feel horrible today which I'm sure is down to eating such rubbish food yesterday. I just can't let it go :( I hope you feel better soon

I've felt this since my last weigh in. I can't stop eating things I know I shouldn't :( I think it's a combination of boredom and eating the same meals over and over again. Today I'm going to write out a meal plan and make sure my OH knows I have to stick to it so I have no excuses!

There was 3 new people in my group last week who were all very slim. I did think to myself 'I wonder why they're here' but I would never say anything out loud about it. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Maybe next week, when your consultant talks to you about your week, you could...

I only stayed within my syns for lunch hahaha! I dont want to work out how many syns I had for my tea! I noticed we're having similare teas! Whats your burger recipe?

I had an unplanned day off and went a little off the rails. I started off fine - fruit for breakfast. Then I had a chicken drumstick and some chips from kfc :/ woops. It was 15.5 syns so I would have been ok if I'd had a home cooked meal for tea vut \i ended up having chips again :( Oh...

My copy of the dvd is in the post as we speak. Really looking forward to it!

Oddly enough, this is exactly what we're having for tea! My mum bought my OH a burger press for Xmas which makes these perfect looking burgers! I'm doing chicken burgers tonight. YUM

I had a day off yesterday too! Except mine wasn't planned and I ate quite a lot of bad things :( Oh well, back on it today.

I wish I had one of these!!

My day was sabotaged by my boyfriend...although I suppose I can only really blame myself. Breakfast - muller light and banana Lunch - chicken and cottage cheese with spinach, cucumber, tomato and loads of beetroot Tea - donner meat - 8 syns I suppose it's not been that bad but I've not had any...

Well, I've ordered the dvd so I'm going to give it a try when I'm a little better. Dnt feel bad about your maintain - at least you haven't gained. I think your treat meal idea sounds good - if you deny yourself it now, you'll just want it more and more. The deli meats idea sound amazing!!

Honk! (for yesterday) 9.5 syns

This week I lost 2lbs putting me in the 15 stone bracket :D Feeling pretty good about this but the 14 stone bracket seems a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way off!

Ok so my total intake yesterday was this: Breakfast: Bananna (s) and muller light Lunch: Celery(s)and 3x extra light laughing cow triangles (half HEa) Tea: S/W chicken kiev (chicken breast stuffed with quark, garlic and mixed herbs, coated in egg to help the breadcrumbs stick. The breadcrumbs...

Yeah I always stay. I'm just going to try and forget about it. It's just another thing that upsets me about that group. I'm going to have another look for a different group to go to I think. (Not because of the SOTW thing, just because I don't like the class in general).

I always take fruit to keep on my desk. I buy some bananas at the start of the week and put them on my desk. Usually a few plums and satsumas as well. I also have a few mug shots in case I forget my lunch and a few curly wurlys for emergencies!

Id weighed in the week before and lost 6lbs. This week I lost 2 and slimmer of the week lost 1.5. I'm quite upset about it. I know it probably sounds stupid but it's quite hard when someone gets given something you deserve. I really struggled last week and need a good boost, which I got with...

Tonight I'm having lamb and mint meatballs with pasta and a tomato sauce packed full of mushrooms and peppers

I'm sure you'll get it tomorrow :D My friend has sent me a link to the first level which means I[d be able to buy the dvd after I get paid :) I need a few more days to recover from my being ill bnut maybe we could do it together (form a distance lol)

Ace! I got my half stone last week as well. Such a great feeling

I just found out the glass of wine I just poured myself is only 5.5 syns because it's reduced alcohol. woop!

I|'ve not heard much about them but think I'll stick to SW

Did you do the 30 day shred? Im thinking about giving it a go

I think the fact that you've tried load of things but haven't given up is really inspirational. I'm the same and I'm constantly on the verge of giving up. The kiev was lovely. My boyfriend loved it too. I made a little change to the one in the magazine - I used quark and mixed in garlic and...

I just read part of your diary before seeing you'd posted on here. You're story is really inspirational. You're definitley right about it being a life long committment. The biggest problem I face is getting back on track if I fall off the wagon. I'm just hoping right now that the person I...

Amazing. Thank you :)

I was thinking about this as well as my friend take T5s and has dropped loads of weight. I worry about slimming tablets though. I think I'll just stick with the plan

Have you got a falafel recipe?

I'm not a huge fan of one of mine. I go to two groups because I work shifts. One of them is ace; she talks about weight loss, weight gain, recipe ideas, ways to increase your weight loss and is really supportive. The other one drags on for ages but doesn't really talk about anything in...

Some kind of meat/fish/sea food. Fry. Stick in a load of veg. Boil some egg noodles. Mix it all together and stick in a bit of soy sauce. All fee, just make sure you fill in with tasty veg. YUM!

I don't know how I'm going to cope if I cant eat cottage cheese! HOW WILL WE MAKE QUICHE?!?!

I have two really horrible work mates that barely speak to me but have been buying me chocolate/treats since they found out I had joined Slimming World. They think it's really funny. They bought me an easter egg the other week so I just smiled, thanked them and put it on my desk. Later in the...

I went to Sainsbury's last night for cottage cheese. The woman I spoke to sad they're really struggling to get it but I've not had problems anywhere else. I always get Quark in Tesco. I love that stuff!

So yesterday I had my third weigh in and lost 2lbs :) This follows a 2lb loss and a 6 lb loss so totalling a lovely 10lbs. I'm only 4lbs off my stone sticker and 13 off my club 10. I'm also only 5 lbs off being the slimmest I've been in ten years (that makes me feel old!) This week has been...

I'm going to have a go at the chicken kiev recipe in this months mag - loads of people have reported good things :)

I wish someone would bring me a pamper kit :(

I weighed in last week and lost 6lb! |I wonder if it's because I weighed in at another group? I have to go to 2 because of my shifts but the woman that does the Tuesday night class doesn't seem to understand this. I don't like my Tuesday class very much and I don't want to go to it really but...

It wasnt that I thought I wouldn't. I was struggling to eat pretty much anything and had no energy to cook really. I just didnt want to rely n tinned soup because I know hoe synful they are! I had the donner meat because it was easy and my friend bought it round for me. It was also within my...

Im not at home (back at the doctors :( ) ill check the syns when i get in. I know theres some from iceland that are quite low syns. I lost 2. Which im happy wuth, only 4 more til me stone sticker :) One thing that confused me was that the person that got slimmer of the week lost half a...

I'm weighing in at 7:30. I'm quite hungry :(

A good girly film?

The words 'I'm on a diet' haven't crossed my lips since I started a few weeks a go. Just stick to the plan and use your syns wisely. There's loads of help and support on here as well as the slimming world website. If you're struggling, talk to someone and they might be able to guide you in...

My boyfriend is coming home after being away with work for a few days so I want to treat him to something nice but don't know what

I am definitely going to try these! I'm missing my wraps :(

how do you make salt and pepper chips?

I've only been on the plan for a few weeks but I already feel that it's making some positive changes to my life. I carry my book with me everywhere and am not in the slightest bit ashamed of walking round the super market with it open in my hand. I still have my little treats and have a...

Mine says you can have them all but aim for 10

Thanks :) I've stuck to the plan all week but with being ill its been hard to eat and harder t not give myself little treats fro getting through the day. They've all been within my syns but I definitely don't feel a loss this week. I also really struggle knowing what to eat on weigh in days...

WELL DONE! It's really hard over what I call 'chocolate celebrations' but it's great to hear you've done so well this week :D Really happy for you

I've followed the plan when it was red and green days but now do the EE. I find it much easier to stick to and far less limiting. EE all the way for me!!

What brand chips did you have? Maybe we can work it out

That's brilliant. Thank you very much :) Got to face my weigh in tonight :/

My goal is to lose a stone by the end of May. Then Ill only be 1lb off my club 10 :D

It's my weigh in tonight and I'm really stressing out about it

I've been thinking about giving the shred a try. I cant wait to get in my first goal dress

Ah right. Makes sense. Thanks

At least you know now. And a pound isn't really that bad :D Bread is something I really struggle with. The other day, my scales were laying up and I had 2 60g bread rolls instead of one because I thought they were only 30gs. Silly me

What makes it 7.5 syns though. I thought lean mince was free?

Hello! Thought I'd drop by and say hi. My name is Sarah, I'm 25 and from Liverpool. I've just joined slimming world and am getting ready for my third weigh in, with 8 lbs off so far. I'm really happy with my weight loss up to now and I'm aiming for 2 lbs a week until I hit my target. I'm...

I'm dreading my weigh in tomorrow. I've stuck to the plan but not feeling like a loss this week

I just ate some donner meat. I probably shouldn't have done but it's within my syns so I should be ok. Get the feeling I'm looking at a gain this week :/

I can't wait to try this :D

Ok. Bit of a useless thread then, sorry :(

Thank you :) There's a little independant market thing near my house that sells really lean lamb and beef for the same price. They do chicken mince there as well which is really cheap so might try it with that as well

That looks amazing. Whats the recipe?

I love soups and rely on them for lunch most days. Do you have any recipes to share? My latest was a chicken noodle soup. Recipe: Put 2 cloves of crushed or chopped garlic in to 800mls of chicken or veg stock and bring to the boil. Add 1 large or 2 small whole chicken breast to the pot...

Me too please!

Good luck with your weigh in! I had the same feeling last week, I was CONVINCED i'd gained but walked away with a 6 lb loss and slimmer of the week :) Let us know how you get on :D

This is amazing! You are my favourite person in the world right now!

Just go to group as normal, make sure you stay as well! If you're that close you'll find the motivation somewhere? Have you got this months magazine? I found the stories in it really inspiring and helped me stick to the plan over Easter

Thanks. I've got some mugshots in the kitchen but wasnt sure how to make them fit in with EE. Should I just try and have some fruit with them. I don't really want to eat anything :( boo hoo. I've got my weigh in tomorrow so don't want to mess things up

I tend to have curly wurlys and hot chocoltes for my choc fix. As for crisps, I like to really finely slice potatoes, beetroot, carrots and parsnips and bake them until they go crispy and nice and eat them instead!
