Hopefully it eases up more for you, I suffer with achy arms every day that were just easing off a little but now I am doing the shred they have come back with force! lol.. What I have noticed is tender when I touch the bit infront of under my arm pit.. That doesn't make much sense so I'll try...

Well I did the shred and definitely did feel I have worked out!!! Its mainly the pain in my knees to be honest that I didn't like.. But thats due to my unresolved knee problem so I might have to just modify some parts to what I can do... Like squatting I cant do the full squats, I follow...

I was downstairs with Jillian at 7.20am and she pushed me through, I did struggle a little at times!!! lol..

I definitely think when I start having cereal on some days that I will definitely need my milk allowance but as I havn't been having cereal for quite a while and I dont have many cups of tea or coffee, I have recently been mixing my HEA's lol..

I know lots of people who have their cuppa's milky, but to me it tastes so rich and .. well.. Milky! haha.. More sickly than if you add just enough milk so that its not going to burn your mouth when you drink it does it for me :) Although to be honest I am not really a tea/coffee drinker so I...

Great thats really good to know! :) My consultant has said its a big no no! ..But I must admit I do like the idea of having a little cheese and not trying to get all the milk allowance in, as I am not a milky coffee/tea drinker either!

Today has been a day full of fruit! lol.. I felt so snacky today so been having lots of grapes!!!..and strawb's and an apple, a banana, more grapes, grapes and strawbs! ... I keep thinking all this fruit can't be too healthy !!! lol.. Heres my food for the day... I dare say so far!! lol Right...

Well done Ash! Of course we wouldn't mind you starting early! As MussMunky says, Its the fact we are doing it together for the support that might help. If we follow through our personal experiences then it might help us if we come into some trouble early on with pain and what to do to ease it or...

Hope all is well and your back on plan and forgetting all the naughtys??! hehe xx Did you face the weigh in in the end? I know it feels awful when you know you have done something that could slow down or hinder your weight loss and horrible when your half expecting a gain so I do understand...

Right NellyLou no more beating yourself up !! You have to think of the positives and you have basically given your body a break but your not giving up!! Just being kind for a while but now you will be back of track so its all good! :) I know I should take my own advice when I say all this but...

Sounds like your getting yourself all motivated and back on track so don't worry too much about that gain hun! If you stick at it you might surprise yourself in the fact it might not be as big as ud expect and even if it is, if you stick with it now your body will thank you for it and you will...

This is what the pasta packets look like and below is one of the savoury rice packets : They are really quite tasty, so I am really hoping my consultant was right or if they are a syn please let it be a low one!! lol. x x

Fingers crossed it will!! I can't see it getting much worse so anything to help even a little is a bonus! :/ lol .. The annoying thing is I spent around £20 (so easy to do in WHSmith!) and I realise I've left my money off receipt thing they gave me a few weeks back!! Doh!!.. Another excuse to go...

So my SW consultant says that ham slices are free. I don't eat them personally but my sister really wants to know... I have read on here somewhere that anything containing less that 95% (approx, may be lower) is free but anything processed which has less of chicken or pork as the main...

I havn't had an email yet! ? hmmmm!! It says it was dispatched on 16th when I put my curser over the box symbol by the listing where I bought it, so fingers crossed it has been and I get it soon :) Listening to a bit of Rihanna and figure when I am doing my power walks to and from mums and...

I started one up just as a log for myself really but also for anyone who wanted to pop by and to be honest I am glad I did. I try to document what I eat in that day (although I havn't today! lol) But it helps me to keep a log of what I have eaten and any thoughts I am thinking at the time and It...

Ok one thing I will have to sort out when I am losing weight (or lost it all rather!) is my excess skin issue!! Very embarrassing and not a pretty sight but since being quite big when I fell pregnant, then having twins and then over-compensating the fact I could hardly eat through my pregnancy...

Haha!! I don't need any encouragement there!! tehehe!! I would have loved to grow my own nails!! When I was younger I bit them (yuk!!) now I pick them!! Really nasty habits I know and now they are so brittle and crappy I need falsies to get some decent nails!! (or nails long enough to...

Good idea with the piccies!! I have been bigger than when I started losing weight, So although I officially started with SW when I was 14st 4lb, I had probably been around 16 1/2 or more at my biggest?? I don't really know to be honest as I never ever weighed myself !!? I might even post a few...

Well they tried to charge me for missing a few weeks back when I went back last week but I had told my consultant what was happening beforehand and she didn't warn me of any charge for missing a week! So if thats the norm then I might have to knock it on the head!! :eek: Will see what she says...

I will see where I've hidden my cam and see if I allow myself to be photographed... I hate piccys of myself!!!! lol.. :o Awww We should be starting around next friday or saturday if that suits everyone else? Or we can choose nearer the time when it comes incase people want to get their dvd...

BEWARE!!! I would taste your spoonfull when you have used most of it up and just lock the other bit away!! My spoonful turned into another then another.. until about 3 healthy spoonfuls were consumed and even then I was so close to going back for more!!! lol... But thats nice your making a cake...

it's ok Sully :) To be honest I have learned alot more from here so far than from class!! As much as I do like my consultant.. Things she has said before have stumped me, she doesn't always give truely accurate info sometimes.. I know everyone can make mistakes though x I am thinking of going...

Well done on filling yourself up on drink! I deffo do that if I have no good options... well thats what I try to do anyway ! lol.. Alhtough to be honest I'm usually organised with my food but its the drink I actually struggle with!! I never used to be like that ?? .. Perhaps I need more days...

Cool! My consultant said no?! Its either one or the other ..eg Cheese or milk...So all of a milk allowance or if you chose cheese you have to have all triangles, or all weighed cheddar etc .. hmmmmm!! lol..

Well done Lorna!!! yay!! A loss :) Always an exciting moment! x .. :D Haha!! Do you know I actually sometimes write so much that I have to copy and paste it and put it on my own diary as the amount of times I answer something and its totally not relevant! :blahblah: I should be a skinny bean...

Great ! I have only just remembered to reply to this thread as keep forgetting to write a reply so I thought I definitely will today :) My consultant said if I don't eat ALL what is on the plan it will hinder my weight loss? Although I do have my choices, both HEA's and HEB's, she did say...

have you had your max of syns for the week Chloe? If you have had low syns everyday perhaps it might not be as bad as you think at WI tomorrow? If you have maxed your syns and had your naughty dinner.. Nevermind, you can just move on and be good from now :) xx its so hard to be strict on...

Awww bless that didn't sound exciting and I sympathise!! I can't stand ryvita much at the best of times so definitely would find it hard to hack or near impossible plain!! I hope you lasted out until now? If you did well done you!! Big pat on the back!! If you didn't don't worry (I secretly...

Thats completely my fault Ash so sorry!! I get so carried away!!! hahaha...Short and sweet answers Now! :) I will refrain from turning other peoples diarys into my own (I will try my best! haha!!!)...

Yes I kept checking myself out in the shop windows as I walked past !! Its much much better now I have some shape to it as it did get rather long lol.. :D I usually do this when I am worried about how fat I look so I will use any car windows, shop or anything else I can glance at to try and see...

Thanks hun :) I would loved to have lost 2lbs and got my 1 1/2 stone award too but its all a step forward so I'm not going to try and race there as I want to remind myself its not a race but a life changing plan for life :) I think even WHEN we get to target the really hard part will be to...

mmmm Either sounds good to me!! Although cereal bar and hot choc might feel naughtier :) yumm! I have just brought some White squarish wraps that are 8 syns each (ouch!) but can be used as a base for a home made pizza and are quite large so you'd get a fair sized pizza out of it and I could...

Yay !! 1lb off and I finally got my club 10, only 1 more pound to go till I get my 1stone and 1/2 award !! Hoping to crank up the exercise and start toning up a bit now so hopefully I will see the benefits from that soon too ! x I will see you one day 11's if its the last thing I do !! lol

I forgot about using the HEA for hot choc!!! Thats the one thing I sometimes struggle to get in as I know it sounds like I'm writing the same thing, but I find it hard to fit in my HEA, or remember rather - If I'm not having cheese on that day and I don't drink that many hot drinks like tea or...

Hey hun :) I do worry about the free food allowance though as I have read that you have to be careful on how much free food you eat as overeating on the free food can actually cause you to put on, despite my consultant telling me I could stuff myself to the brim! (Which I don't do usually...

Yep I really think that before when I had them whenever I actually got bored of food without even realising it, I get far more enjoyment out of Eating as I really do want to pick something nice and I will really think about if something is worth synning for or if I would rather have something...

I wonder what The difference in taste is ! I didn't know there was different kinds! lol.. Oh almost forgot to ask, Are all Pasatta jars/cartons etc free? If so what's the one you like to use for your pastas etc?

Thanks Sully! I thought as much when I read what the free ones are but I thought perhaps they may not have added sugar in it.. but then I suppose it would have said no added sugar on the label lol!! .. Must try and find where I read it to let them know! x

Since February 2012 but only really getting into it properly now as taken me a while to take it all in what the plans all about, thats down to me really not absorbing all the info and not being truely ready but In that time up till now i have lost my 1st stone so I imagine my journey from now is...

Thank you! x Can anyone find out if the colemanns mint sauce is infact free like I read somewhere? Good to know the Tesco mint sauce isn't too bad as a level tbsp is quite a bit of sauce! x

WOW Go you!! That really is saving! My will power is good but If I had some of a kitkat chunky I think i'd be tempted to take "just one more bite" as its not in sections but a big slab of chocolatey goodness!!.... I mean naughtiness!! lol.. I would have to cut it up then probably end up with...

Hey Boofle!! I'm a newbie to MM and SW so I am very eager to catch up with what everyone is up to and like you, I can't wait to join in more! So far the people I have spoken to are lovely and they all seem like a really nice bunch! :grouphugg:

Thanks for some amazing informative info that I will definitely be looking back at from time to time as I swear my brain is truely like a seiv! I wish my belly was though! lol.. :D

Thats exactly what I have done, my consultant said its easier all round if you stick to EE so I havn't really ventured into the green day (I'm not a big meat eater and only eat chicken really) but can someone tell me what the big differences are in the EE plan to the Green plan? I could go and...

Have just been asking about this on another post of mine and just found this piece of information which is a brilliant help, Thanks so much ! x :bighug:

Wow they do a Flora Extra light?! Must look out for that! I use extra light mayo with my tuna and sweetcorn and add a little seasoning to give it that little bit more flavour but it does stop the tuna from staying too dry. I think that 1 level Tbsp of Extra light mayo is 1/2 syn on all plans...

These sound delicious!!!I am definitely going to try these later with our roast!! Do you turn them halfway or leave them? Do you peel skins or leave them on? What gas Mark and how long do you put them on for? I have read variations to these roasties so it would be nice to see a step by step...

Well I say 4 weekly plan but I will just be doing some differently weekly plans for variety so I can change the foods when I get bored lol.. I am hoping this will help me as you know how it is when you grab something quick and easy like toast, then ruin it for any later plans of your HEX'Bs so...
