Mine is being made by a guy my parents know so I have no idea what I am having I gave him dimensions that fit the room and chose fabric, I hope it's nice :eek:

Oh no! My current one is 11 years old and was £350 including an arm chair so it doesn't owe me much! But excited for our new one!

Lunch was on plan tomato and basil soup no bread :) not sure of syns but is a clean eating cafe so won't be high am happy with my choice. Living room is sorted and tree away am happy with the rearrangement got rid of a set of shelves from the hall I'm not really keen on (had them for years Ben...

Shopping was horrid it was so wet! And the roads were a nightmare. Have got all my boring stuff apart from a couple of bits I'll get in work as they are cheaper :) My main nice treat was smoked salmon :eating: I have plenty of chicken fish and some mince to use up in the freezer so going to...

Hello :) Got a huge shopping list today, I seem to need loads of stuff not just food! Petrol, everything for the dishwasher! Going to be expensive I think :rolleyes: Just having a read in bed, dishwasher and washing machine are on, then need to change the bed and make breakfast before braving...

Yes my little girl is very happy she goes on her lap which she never did with me :( I see her a lot tho and look after her when they go away, which has been a lot in the last month :p She was lucky she had very limited side effects really extreme exhaustion and a couple of very poorly days but...

Hey! She is cancer free :D:D she finished radiotherapy in mid November and that was the last phase of her treatment. Her hair is growing back nicely although she still wears a wig as she likes longer hair. So overall she is good. She is going to be doing SW/5:2 I think to get to the point...

Hi Sarah, I am getting back to 5:2 which I have done with success in the past, I've struggled more recently but I know it works well for me and I want to get back to a comfy weight which means I have a stone or so to go. Good luck for the run tomoro :)

Things to make soon Beef kofta Cod in chermoula sauce Salmon topped with cottage cheese Homemade pizza Campfire stew Buffalo chicken

I have been having rye bread with avocado and eggs for ages, and for lunch tuna and cottage cheese with celery and cucumber stick with raspberries and quark and a kiwi! :rolleyes: Very lazy and uninspired!

I'm following you too now :D

I braved the scales this morning. 11st 13.5lb that is the highest I have been for a very long time. Might check back to see what I was this time last year. I was 11st 11.5lb after Christmas last year so not that far off. I have got 2lbs away from target last year and the year before. So will...

Have managed to create another account! So my SW account is belletabbycat_sw :D

I have thought about a SW one but haven't done it. Maybe I should. :rolleyes:

https://instagram.com/p/BACNznMC3Xf6gjHKYQr847ocJL6MMRllB6WKtI0/ Finally figured out the Instagram thing, my insta is private so it doesn't work! I am not sure if I want it not to be private but at least I understand now :cool:

From memory the baked apple and mincemeat is a HEXB and as such has no syn value although I don't like mincemeat :eek:

I have no idea about insta Well done lil I need to try again! Am fasting today so just having black coffee :) dinner will be smoked haddock , poached egg, cauliflower mash green beans and possibly cheese and leeks tho undecided on that bit need to look at cals

Hmmm not doing well at this!

Testing uploading pics

https://instagram.com/p/-ojRwuC3VJNECeCiAUqbfvNY7q1IOw5YlTRd00/ Trying to post Instagram link doesn't seem to have worked :confused:

I don't syn avocado or puréed fruit. I am trying to think about what is in what I eat not just whether it's "free". I am finding fasting harder than I used to, I think it's because I used to fast when I did lates at work, I don't do them anymore and I find getting up at 5:45 and fasting is...

Finally found my diary very happy to be back. I feel very invested in this diary and I never felt the same about my new one. Need to get to grips with the new site but happy to have all my old ramblings and thoughts back Am actually on holiday this week so haven't had a great week food wise...

And think I am going to do weekly syns, I think it will help me keep track of things better. As I do 2 fast days think I will do 90 syns a week. I don't usually have things that are synned on my fast days anyway. Will try this week and see how I do

Ended up having a burger and brownie yesterday :o but straight back on it today and stayed syn free and on plan until then and I had vodka and diet coke rather than wine so saved syns there. Am trying to make a plan for the next few days without buying too much food. So had a rummage in the...

Breakfast which I had with half a grapefruit and 2 lm red onion sausages was really delicious. And hopefully will keep me going for a long time! Done plenty of housework already and washed and dried my hair for later and tried on my top for later so all prepped! Need to go and buy white bread...

Thank you :) Have stuck with it and feel v proud of myself as it's Saturday! Had 2 ice lollies for 104 cals so sitting at around 500 for the day and have resisted anything else that I could eat I'm not hungry would be just boredom. So am sober and tucked up on a Saturday night! Catching up on...

Think I need to learn not to fast with a headache/migraine it was a dreadful idea found it much easier today Had strawberries 55 cals 2 rich tea 70 cals Ready meal 278 Leaves me about 100 to play with

Ended up with Chinese takeaway and I didn't even enjoy it! Had king prawn chow mien and it had no veg was only noodles :( So trying for fast day today! Plan is water water water coffee water ginger beer then ready meal strawberries bed! Minor thing in way is Ben's parents coming home today...

Woken up with another bloody headache :( Plan is B sweet pancakes trying to have eggs for breakfast as finding it is more filling and saves HEXB for later L salad and something D either pizza or burger. Undecided as Ben is a pain and hates forward planning. If he wants takeaway I'll have...

Fast day fail :( had filo pastry tart with feta and 2 gins and a handful,of peanuts and frazzles wasn't awful but def not a 500 cal day! Am going to try again on Saturday it as the head that got me I needed sugar. But th hospital appointment was great as was brilliant news the main tumour is...

And scales down to 11st 6 this morning so going in the right direction!

Am planning on fasting today although woke up with a headache that has the potential to become a migraine and I think my sister wants me to go to the hospital with her later which I offered to do on Tuesday but she has only just decided to that she wants me to to but hasn't asked which is a tiny...

Hey heather, yes was really quiet actually and my consultant is lovely and I have a really good friend who does pay who I have seen put of class and got new mag. Less I want to make than last one but still worth the read I think. Done another day on plan too :) had B1 apple B2 salmon quiche...

Hope you had a good day :) xx

Glad the home situation is better, but a shame about your job. Now you have good experience I'm sure you'll find something else. Hope your daughters exams are going well, such a stressful time. After my good fast day yesterday I am feeling quite positive, scales down to 11st 6.25lb which I...

It's easier said than done isn't it, knowing what to do and doing it have such a gulf between them when you are struggling! Hope you are ok otherwise my lovely. Xx

Today is the first day I have felt ok at work, I was off tues and weds last week worked thurs and then went home on Friday as felt dreadful. Think I have managed a fast day! Had Special K rice crisps 94 cals, fish stew which I think was 250 cals then Pringles 15 is 150cals I didn't have that...

Am fasting today :o so on water at the moment. Finish at 2:30 then going to see my sister and then not sure. Have got fish stew out of the freezer for dinner which is about 300 cals from memory so got 200 left to play with probably be strawberries. Will see def want a good day. Scales this...

Sounds like exactly what you after a great first day :)

Thank you :) was easy and so much less hungry than most days recently which makes me feel bad for eating rubbish. Real food is so much better for you! Hope your first day went well :) xx

Think I have done a day on plan!!!! B1 apple coffee tea B2 crust less quiche with smoked salmon asparagus and broccoli L tuna salad wholemeal thin, raspberries strawberries fat free bat yog D kerlan prawn curry and saag chana masala Syns wine!!!! Catching up on the blacklist as didn't see...

Hey lovely, sorry to hear you are having some nasty side effects from the beta blockers, are you going to go back to the drs? They might be able to tweak it for you, I started on one kind and switched to another kind. Rest well, I find regular sleeping helps me no end no late nights no lie ins...

Had a bit of a rubbish time for the last week had a cluster of migraines I still don't feel great now but it's the lights in work which are the problem so pressing on. Re read my diary from this time last year as I am the same weight I was this time last year so need to do what I did again. So...

Do you think you should ask for a referral to a consultant? I was misdiagnosed with vertigo for over a year, as soon as I saw a consultant he was very clear I didn't have it but migraines and since I have actually known what the problem is it has been much better as I have medication specific to...

It is lovely having my room back it's a beautiful room and I love it in the morning and I love the en suite too! I haven't investigated the wall yet I haven't made it to the garage to check the paint! Am in bed in a grump, Ben and I have had a tiff, he says I am in princess mode and only been...

At work today :( But I've got tomoro off unpaid to be with Ruth although she is loads better :) Really need to do a healthy meal plan and stick to it as scales are at 11st 7.5 this morning :o Lunch is going to be random as I don't have anything with me and I can't have lunch from here as...

Ohhh tough call! I love dominos but I know what you mean :( you are doing so well which makes it tricky. I'd be tempted to let fb have it and have something healthy I do that and Ben understands why I do it and supports me :)

They have moved out! Am v pleased at mo I'm sure I'll be sad soon but have a vodka and cherry to keep me smiling for now! Have reclaimed bedroom and en suite and made bed ready for a fab bed picnic later with my yummy boy. Unfortunately the feature wall in the living room has had a small...

Yes she is much much better and they are moving out today!!!! I love her to the moon and back but will be glad when all her stuff has gone and I get my bedroom and ensuite back!!!! So we will help them move their stuff later. Would really like it if it stopped raining too so I can do some...

If you use the milk as a HEXA then it's only around 3 syns I reckon :) enjoy! xx

Thanks blinky, I will be sentimental which isn't how we usually are with each other but I am trying to be a bit more as I know she will appreciate it. She had a lovely card yesterday of a girl she works with who had breast cancer about 2 years ago, saying sometimes you have to have a lot of...

I think you're right, I want her to feel how special she is. I wear the necklace she bought me when she asked me to be her bridesmaid everyday and that makes me feel special I want to give her a few little things. I found a super cute card in jl a kitten "kissing" it's mum so I've got that to...

They look fab! You should try the waffles, I made them last Monday they are soooo yummy! And they keep well :) xx

Looking at little presents to get my sister when she moves to her house, think I will get her a kath kidson mug as she loves mine and found some keyrings on line, one says "I smile because you are my sister, I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it" the other says "because I have...

I do! Her fiancé did go out and get me pizza and wine before he went out so I am well stocked! The anti sickness drugs have kicked in, she was feeling so poorly she forgot to take it earlier until I was asking what she needed to take but now she has taken it she feels much better :) tonight...

Hello! Overall yes just a bit blurghy tonight. She needs sleep but the anti sickness drugs stop her sleeping, so I might have a long night ahead of me! Am seeing a friend tomoro want to get my sister a card for when she moves out to say I miss her and a couple of little pressies, an eyebrow...

Tucked up in bed with my sister. She had chemo today and is feeling quite poorly and her fiancé is at a concert he bought tickets to ages ago. So I'm looking after her :) Has been nice we've chatted a lot about the surgery and our parents. I am getting sleepy tho not sure she is!!

Might be a green day? You get 2 HEXA with green so babybel would be that and HEXB would be ham? Not 100% sure but think it might work like that xx

Yes it is everyone she sees is amazed at how well it is working :D xxxx

I've been on it for about 7 or 8 years and I can't remember but I definitely didn't have continuous periods when I did start it. That doesn't sound right to me at all. xxx

Yes she has had a really positive outlook from the start, she works for a cancer charity and I think this has really helped her, and has been using mindfulness as well and lots to look forward too, a new house a wedding to plan and my cat is moving with her too. Now the shock has passed things...

She is half way through the chemo today :D and has had a complete response to chemo so the consultant can't feel the lump anymore which is awesome news. (She has breast cancer) It isn't easy and her and her fiancé are staying as their house is being renovated so they don't have their own space...

It is isn't it, mine usually start with a blinding headache which develops to not being able to move my head. Today was the a pain in my nose which developed the the blinding headache but by then I was home and dosed up on meds and off to sleep which has really helped! xxxx

She is doing really well, but is very fatigued the week after chemo and has huge white carb cravings so we tend to decide what to eat on a day by day basis so I'll pop out later and get what she fancies :) it's nice it's a long weekend as her fiancé is off with her on Monday and I have got...

Came on so suddenly and after I got up which is unusual I tend to wake up with them. The heating is broken at work which hasn't helped, I didn't want to come home as my sister was going to chemo and I didn't want her to worry but I couldn't read the till properly I was mixing all the numbers up...

Actually came home with a migraine which after 4 hours sleep has eased to a slight fuzzyness. Totally brought on by stress as my sister had chemo today and I find it stressful! But she is back now and having a lie down, next will be seeing if she wants anything for dinner! Hope the dr can help...

And I take a pill cerezelle I think which means I don't have periods (which I love) as I can't have the combined pill so there are options around xxx

I switched to beta blockers and it isn't necessarily permanent. I have to try 6 months of them and they have really, really helped me. I think it's because my migraines are stress/anxiety related. I was reluctant to try them as the medication for ever put me off but was much happier when I...

Oh Sarah that's pants :( hope you have caught it soon enough to ward it off. xx

Did a 40 min leslie walk enjoyed it but my steps are rubbish today! Am hoping we will go for walk before dinner with Ben's parents but we'll have to see, not sure exactly what time we're eating. Food been bad wine lunch I've had biscuits and crips! Oops. And haven't read either had a nap...

Her and her fiancé moved in 5 weeks ago for a week.... They sold the house they were living in and the house they had bought at the end of jan needed an awful lot of work. They planned to move in but as my sister is having chemo it's not practical she needed to be somewhere clean and finished...

What book are you starting? I'm reading the lady from garzeb by Phillip Kerr it's set in nazi Germany and prt of a series so might read some of that when I'm done with all my other stuff :) xx

I do :) my sister has just gone to clean her house I did offer to help but she said she will be ok as there isn't too much to do her fiancé and some friends are moving the furniture upstairs as the carpet has gone down but they don't seem to planning on sleeping there tonight. I'm kinda...

Having a cup of tea catching up on the good wife, but need to make a plan. I think Ruth is still going to be here tomoro :/ and I think she wants to go to ikea as well. So need to get plenty done today Need to clean kitchen, maybe some gardening and I need to wash and dry my hair blurgh least...

I won't be trying a caffeine free morning at work again . I might be ok on a non work day but def not a 6:30 start!! Was on plan and fab until I got home,had a pitta with hallumi and avocado and scampi fries. Then a takeaway curry as my sister was having one and I was exhausted and felt...

I haven't looked at the forecast I'm not that far from you so maybe I will have rain too! xx

Yes it is, makes me feel less bad about not doing much when I finish!!!

We went to the park to play frisbee the last 2 days as I haven't been in work which was lots of fun and got plenty so steps in too! Hasn't rained until the evening here I have lots of gardening to do too! Raking moss out of the lawn which is such hard work but must do more tomoro!!

I work for Waitrose the coffee shop :) so am on my feet all day but still didn't think I did that many steps!

I think sw makes you focus n making good choices not just ones you can "justify" through calories. I didn't manage a walk I did 11000 steps and I ache from yesterday's so know it did me good! Was surprised an average day at work is so many steps, it's non work days I will struggle on I think

Soooo tired this morning didn't have any caffeine this morning which I think has totally killed me! Pre 6am alarm call was awful! But had B1 boiled egg and apple B2 baked oats and grapefruit L tuna salad melon strawberries raspberries yoghurt D aiming for fish tacos with lettuce but we'll...

Grrr my post went!!!! Good food day syns in red wine Lots of steps tho interested to see how many I do at work tomoro

Hey binky just wanted say thank you I downloaded the app and am slight obsessed with it at the moment! And I you tubed Leslie sansone walks and did one earlier was great! Hoping to get in to routine of doing just a short one everyday and a longer one on my days off :) thank you I'd never heard...

Feels good to be back fasting, I'd let it slip really since feb and tho scales haven't moved I feel better in my clothes which is really what I am aiming for, it was obviously a bit of bloating from too much white bread and stuff. Going to try a Leslie Sansome walk this afternoon as trying to...

Definitely investigate mindfulness in general Sarah, it might help you with your migraines. My sister has been doing a cd to help her and there was an article on the BBC website about some recent research in to it's effectiveness. The basic idea is to get good at "parking" negative thoughts and...

Fast day huge success found having lunch and dinner helped a lot haven't been too hungry and we had a lovely walk in the park and a frisbee game one the sun :D Plan tomoro is for a freezer audit and shopping plan.

Lunch was sooo good think I'll try quark next time as get more for the cals! Added some chilli too for a kick yum! Am now having a coffee with csi got excited as the hotel we stayed in was just on screen in one of the Vegas shot! Had these off my sister and her fiancé as a thank you they are...

Made my courgetti get loads for 200gms is very exciting! Trying to hold of having lunch for a bit longer! Having a fruit tea at mo to distract me!!

Thank you going to get it now, I have my phone in my pocket at work but not any other time, but I do most walking at work any way. Having a lovely day chilling at home in the sunshine :) xx

Cleaned kitchen and living room, shampooed the carpet too made a huge difference am really impressed will do it again when my sister has gone I think. Final plan is Cod 90 cals Tenderstem broccoli 18 Beans 18 Mangetout 18 cals Courgetti 36 cals Mushrooms 26 cals Cream cheese 15 gms 53 cals...

Melon 36 gms per 100, strawberries 33 gms per 100 so will eat the melon left and have half the strawberries I just bought which I think will be about 70 cals so that takes me to about 310 Cream cheese is 106 cables for 30gms not sure I can justify that, altho undecided will go and do some...

Hey was just wondering what pedometer app you use on your phone? And where do you need to have it for it to work? Is a handbag ok or does it need to be a pocket? Hope you are having a good day /) xx

So plan Cod 90 cals Green beans 18 cals Broccoli 18 cals Courgetti 18 cals per 100gms how awesome!!! Mushrooms 26 cals Mangetout 18cals Total 242 for lunch and dinner! Whoo Have had 2 dashes of milk in tea and coffee too need to check cals on melon strawberries and raspberries and soft...

Oh goodness I love my sister so much but having peace and quiet is awesome! She is a tv addict and the tv is constantly on when she is here but am revelling in the silence. Popped to work and grabbed courgettes, mushrooms strawberries and raspberries to get me through my fast day need to make...

Don't be silly! I'm touched by everyone who has taken time to read my ramblings and comment, I find it helps to write things down and order my thoughts that way. I hope you a&e ok I saw on IG you were having a hard week at work with all the changes that are going on. I've been in the situation...

Is so amazing, does make her poorly but think she finds it easier to bare knowing it's working xx

Think I managed an ok fast day L courgetti with mushrooms garlic and small spoon of cream cheese amazing and 130 cals :D D carribean fish stew 330 cals S mini raspberry and apple sorbet 58cals really good be getting more of these as my sister got them so they will be moving out with her! So a...

Hope you are feeling better lovely. Is so horrid :( xxxx

Ready for work and a fast day :o am only doing 7:30-2:30 which is why I'm fasting Plan is then to come home and go to b&m bargains with my sister :) She told me last night that the lump has changed since chemo it's not hard anymore and the registrar who examined her couldn't even find it...

That's great for shred I think I managed 3 days before! She thinks they might move at the weekend, but they are also going to Wrexham at the weekend but we'll see. I think I have done a whole day on plan! B grapefruit baked oats with raspberries L lettuce, tomato, cucumber, celery, spring...

Am so sorry to hear about you mum. I know it's a cliche but a cancer diagnosis for a loved one really does turn your world upside down. I really hope that the chemo helps her. I wouldn't worry about anything other than making sure you get lots of good food in for plenty of nutrients and...

Yes she is so brave and I feel very lucky she is my sister :) Helmsley and Helmsley and delicious Ella are our staples at the moment! Had the Dahl for lunch and making a porridge from Helmsley and Helmsley in the morning with coconut milk and aramanth (looks like couscous) and sweet potato...

Had a busy few days, Ruth started to loose her hair a lot after chemo on Friday so we went to sort her wig on Monday. Was a really amazing experience and she has a wig which is so near her natural hair colour and style it really doesn't look like a wig. She shaved her head on Monday night as...

Hey, yes it's still going well, has got a bit easier I think as am more aware of their habits and stuff and Ruth has been well for the last 10 days. Might be a bit trickier after chemo today as she will be a bit poorly altho hopefully she will be ok by next thurs. I'm sure my girls at work...

Braved the scales this morning 11 6.5 I can feel it but realistically while Ruth is here I won't be on plan. I'm on holiday next week too so will def be treats. Feeling a bit sad this morning as Ruth has chemo at 1 her fiancé is going with her, he is at their house at the moment cleaning so...

Ohhh what books did she lend you? New books to read are fab :) xx

I am. I wasn't first thing, think I need to eat before work no matter what time I start. I started at 6:30 this morning and I didn't but felt much better after eating, less tearful so will try tomoro see if it helps my mood. Work has been ok quite busy but day had flown by

I am. I wasn't first thing, think I need to eat before work no matter what time I start. I started at 6:30 this morning and I didn't but felt much better after eating, less tearful so will try tomoro see if it helps my mood. Work has been ok quite busy but day had flown by

That is so cool!! xxxx

Tucked up in bed now, feel I need lots of sleep to prepare for work tomoro! Feel like I need to give my sister and her other half some space.

Love delicious Ella and hemsley and hemsley my sister bought them both and so many yummy things to try in them! xxxx

I love wearing it it's really delicate and so pretty :) Had a mini meltdown this morning, just suddenly realised I wasn't going to make it though the day without crying so luckily found a nice manager and had a cry in her office and I'm ok now! My sister is having reflexology at the moment...

Ah thank you made my day! xxx

I'm also prayer VET doesn't win the gp, not looking like they will pay off tho!!!

This is the necklace my sister gave me when she asked me to be her maid of honour, my parents went to look at the new house today, and they said they will be here for weeks! My sister said they will go and stay with friends but don't want them to do that, so mum and dad are coming on weds to at...

Kinda feeling guilty at the moment, I have come to meet my best friend for lunch but am actually over an hour early as needed some me time. My parents have come to see my sister which is nearly suffocating me, goodness knows how she feels, so me my iPad and my 99p refillable wether spoons coffee...

It is exciting, I had kinda forgotten about it a bit with everything that has been going on, but has made me very happy! Think they want a beach wedding so we'll get a holiday out of it too!! Am hoping it's somewhere nice and exotic anyway!! And there's a hen do to organise too so will be lots...

Today is pretty emotional too! Had this from Ruth this morning so burst in to tears! Was a big surprise as I'd expected it to be a thank you for having us to stay card! And a single pearl necklace it ha card saying wear this and remember how loved you are!

Had a hugely emotional day tidy. Found out that my old secretary died last week, I had seen her and knew she had had cancer but she was in remission, that was about 8 weeks ago I guess. Has really upset me, but her funeral is on Thursday so I am going to go. Is obviously made worse by my...

Ohhh will def check them out, I am going to nap I was trying to read but can't keep my eyes open! Will be nice they are moving house tomoro so a lot going on but really want to get back on plan!

House in reasonable state my sister is in bed I think she over did it this morning am hoping she'll let me go and pick up her fiancé from work but she is stubborn so we'll see. Food on plan had pasta and sauce for breakfast random I know but I needed carbs! Had couscous and halloumi for lunch...

Been very off plan, but my sister is coming to stay from today with her fiancé until next week I think, depending on how the new house is going. She started chemo on Friday and is doing ok, she has been really tired but says she is feeling a bit less tired today I need to change the bed as they...

Is perfectly clear here! So quite odd as it went quite dark but the sky was blue too

So excited just bought her a brides magazine :D and just forced Ben to come and see them with me in a bit! She had an op today so has been sleeping but is awake and at home now! Am really hoping she'll ask me to be her bridesmaid today!! Massively jumped the gun in my head and Ben and I were...

This has made me giggle! xxx

Have had awesome news my sister is engaged! Her oh proposed this afternoon on one knee in the park :D So am hoping I will be a bridesmaid! And we get to wedding plan while she is off sick!! How exciting!

Is only 279 cals so excellent value!!

Saw you were eyeing up the Waitrose ones, I often have them on fast days quick easy and tasty! I like the spinach cannelloni done in the oven yum!!

Beef kofta one of my favs! :D

Had a really off plan day yesterday. And am sorely tempted to have crisps and chocolate on lunch. But munching through my crudités at the moment. Looking forward to finishing at 3:30 and going home to chill. Quite tired and doing 6:30 starts all week so aiming for an early night tonight. At...

Having my baked oats and grapefruit for breakfast and defrosting kofta for dinner lunch is pastrami sarnie with crudités and need to buy some strawberries to have afterwards Desperately trying to avoid gp quali which will be hard over lunch. No social media will be tough. Hopefully it will...

Did have a doze, that helped I think and chatted to my manager. We have overtime hours next week so I will have help which I was worrying about. Also agreed I can have 25th march off so Ruth can come here as they are moving house and am trying to get a plan for the day after. Didn't go mad...

Am back from hospital done washing and dishwasher on. Food for work tomoro has started and got gp stuff on. Am going in to work for just after 4, not really feeling like it need to have a chat with a manager about a few things :( am feeling slightly anxious might need a betablocker to get to...

Thank you. Has gone well :D waiting for prescription for more injections fast out window as celebrated with a cinnamon swirl!

Waiting for my sister to go to the hospital. Mentally preparing to be there until about 11/11:30 so anything else will be a bonus. Going to fast today as not managed one since last Thursday and had an awful food day yesterday. Scales at 11 dead

I'm fine when I'm with her, just have times when I'm not it's hard. Today at work was really hard, I actually cried while making drinks at one point. I'd normally be angry at being left to cope but today I was just overwhelmed and felt I was being ignored on purpose and was too upset to do...

Def appreciate the no spoilers :) we are so slow this time and with the gp being back this weekend that'll distract us too!

Made baked oats with chai seeds for tomoro they really are an awesome little seed! High in fibre protein and a good source of omega 3 so will syn 5 tablespoons as 3 syns I think it's a good use of syns! My sister has the delicious Ella book and I had a look yesterday definitely interested in...

Thank you hon. Ended up having a huge sleep this afternoon and was really tempted to say s*d and get a dominos, but am making a salmon topped with Thai mixed cottage cheese with veg instead and having a green tea with gingerbread so feeling good with my choices. Scales were up to 11st this...

She gets no choice unfortunately. We are going for a scan on Friday and then she will have them harvested on Monday if she can. If it hasn't worked then she has to hope the chemo doesn't give her a premature menopause. She is at the cusp of it being likely. HoC enjoying it but it isn't as...

Had a nice HoC evening now ready for bed :) odd being off an extra day feels nice and chilled tho. Was good to spend all day with my sister if a bit unusual.

Had a bit of an up and down day. The first hospital appointment was awful the dose of hormones wasn't enough to get her eggs ready to be harvested and as she is on a really tight schedule to start chemo it's very upsetting for her. The dr is very short and doesn't read her notes so never knows...

Had a lovely time with my friend she lives in Chester so we only catch up infrequently but was fab, I nearly cried when she left :( we went to primary school together but different secondary schools, college uni etc and stayed friends through out it. She knows my sister too which is nice...

Bought a size 12 dress in primark feeling very pleased as fits nicely. And made good choices out, no cake in Starbucks :) just a skinny cappuccino with sugar free vanilla syrup and came home and had cottage cheese tuna and crudités for lunch. Going to defrost chicken for dinner and have with...

Scales down to 10at 12.75lb so am now 0.75lb above holiday weight. So pretty happy with that will make me make better choices today I hope! Got lots of fruit so no excuses. Will make up a big pot for tomoro to snack on while we are waiting at the hospital. Slept really badly again last...

Struggling to sleep. My sister has put a status on Facebook about her diagnosis. Am feeling really conflicted about it. She works for a cancer charity in PR so I understand her sharing it in one way but it also feels such a public way of dealing with it. Am very proud of her for doing it and I...

Scales still said 10st 13.5lb this morning, but had waahca this evening and wine lots of wine! View from the top,of the pier where we had lunch :) saw 50 shades was bored by the end of it :o I'd not read the books so had no idea what was going to happen! My friend said I looked thinner than...

Had beef kofta and cauliflower rice for dinner with my sister. She has gone she was feeling really poorly from the hormones to harvest her eggs :( was not nice feeling useless

Had breakfast mark 2 was v nice with strawberries tho probably wouldn't use fresh strawberries regularly as they are a bit expensive but they needed using. Feel like someone is driving a nail thru my temple from the stress this morning at work! Super stress!

I'm back in the 10's yay!!!! 10st 13.5lb whoop! Hoping that will make me make better choices over the weekend..... Plan is pretty much in place hopefully seaside tomoro for lunch, there is an Art Deco pier that has been restored and opened with a cafe that we have been meaning to go to and think...

Forgot the bat bit about today I now will officially work 4 days a week, a bit of an odd pattern as I have to fit around other stuff but will work mon-weds be off thurs/fri work Saturday be off Sunday/Monday and work tues-thurs so gives me more time to be with my sister and definitely a day...

Had an epic fast day meal of cod chermoula with cauliflower, mange tout and baby corn enormous and super low cal! Going to be a long evening tho I think as only 5:30 and in jim jams already! Might need a hot drink to distract me maybe a decaf latte with sugar free syrup think that will hit the...

At work with my water feeling ok but luckily not hungry so fast day should be easier than I thought. Am tired tho so looking forward to home time! 6 hours to go!!

Had a sneaky scale hop to see what damage my pizza did, am down to 11st 0 3/4lbs so half a lb down. Hopefully that will keep me motivated for a fast day today! Feel less horrific today, hopefully the smell of food won't put me off again which it really did yesterday!

Think I am better, am going to work tomoro again to try again! Think I will be ok have had pizza and a creme egg for dinner that Ben picked up. Tucked up now made it to wi lost 2lb so sneaked another loss in and back to 2st overall. So 6.5lb to target now, the hardest bit. Probably should...

Managed lunch and got a mini can of diet coke. Been to sleep again really want to drag myself to wi. And really need to go to work tomoro. And I need to think about food for tonight and tomoro as well. My sister is coming over on Friday evening too so need to think about that too. Then my...

I actually picked the bedside tables because they have a side table which matches and the tv is on that. We have a new bed coming 2 weeks on Saturday as well :) a king size one which my mum and dad wills able to sleep in, my dad is too tall for the bed frame I have which given everything that...

My appraisal went better than I expected, I got a very good, which I was pleased with and should get a pay rise too. Been a hard week, I skipped wi last week just because I needed some me time. We are only on episode 3 of HoC as we are watching it together and we haven't had much down time...

Glad it's bedtime. Feeling quite glum, I have my appraisal tomoro at 10 had a very good rating last year. Be lucky to get good tomoro, done no prep and have no idea what I want for the next year. Thinking to get through appraisal without crying will be first aim. Food prepped for tomoro but...

Just had a super bargain got a pair of dune boots with price match and discount from john Lewis on line for £63 instead of £135 feel very happy! And got a pair of jeans in size 12 from primark earlier felt fab as usually I find their jeans a nightmare! And got a pair of shoes and 2 t shirts...

Was amazing tho not SW friendly!!!!

Afternoon tea :)

Had egg foo yung and fried mixed veg from the Chinese was tasty no idea on syns but was happy with the choice. Waiting with my free coffee for my sister to go to primark :D it is cold and just started raining too! Afternoon tea at 1:30 with my friend

Lunch is celery and cucumber sticks with tuna mixed with cottage cheese and franks hot sauce. Amazing!! Made it and brought it with me to Ben's parents as family still here. Got raspberries and yoghurt for afters and bread to toast and have with a HEXA as well, then going for prawn chop suey...

Much needed day off, think it managed to fulfil family obligations to Ben's brother by visiting them but not staying for dinner, they were having pizza which I really didn't want as am trying to be as much on plan as possible. Do feel quite skinny today funny how you have days like that! My...

It's Friday! Was a tough evening on Wednesday, Ben said some quite upsetting things and was utterly distraught. Not impressed he was nice yesterday but suspect that was partly due to his brother and family being there. At least it is Friday and I can lie in tomoro then going shopping with my...

Thank you :) have told a senior manager who I have had a lot to do with, she was amazing. I managed to call my parents which I have avoided since Sunday. And I have texted my sister to go and see her, she lives down the road, literally, we actually drove past her house last night going to buy a...

Told another person today her sister started chemo yesterday and that has really helped she is going to tell people for me as I just can't I could hardly get the words out I was crying so much but I do think it will be easier if people know I am not myself and that's why :/ Am very tired again...

The manager thing kinda sorted itself out, my immediate manager who I am friends with came in today although she is on holiday, I told her on Sunday evening and told her I haven't told anyone so she was going to tell people for me which is a big relief. Am in bed again, had an ok day food...

5 nights in Vegas I say :D :D :D

I did sleep better am at work now, feeling a bit upset as seen on Facebook that someone else's sister is having chemo today. Has nearly pushed me to go and tell a manager but there is no one I feel comfortable talking to so trying to calm myself down.

Had a quiet evening, got a film on now and had dominos. Am so tired I feel sick so hoping I sleep better tonight. Am aiming to fast tomoro. My sister texted me earlier to ask me if I was fasting today, seems so odd for her to even ask.

Feels quite surreal I'm at work and I haven't told anyone. There wasn't anyone to tell and tho I'm friendly with a few people it seems such an odd thing to say so have got pissed off with customers being stupid and otherwise just plodded on. Am so tired, slept really badly with strange dreams...

Thank you, I think the prognosis is good, i think it's that she is my little sister, I feel I need to protect her, like it should be me instead. Am in bed now, had lovely chat with my oldest friend just, am exhausted but suspect I won't sleep.

Had a horrid evening. Had some very bad news, my sister has breast cancer. Think I am in too much shock to process it. The prognosis seems ok, she needs chemo and a mastectomy but she should be ok. Going to be a hard few months. Am very tired and not managed the takeaway and film we had...

Planned the week out. Shopping done watching a film on Netflix now. Have had a big brunch of Linda mcartney sausages, fried egg mushroom onion and tomato. Got a wholemeal roll for lunch if I want it, tho might have a chewy d instead for a sweet fix. Got a headache and now on earlies all week...

Mega off plan day! Had far too much chocolate, wine then burger and chips! And wine. Ben still has man flu so not done much. Tomoro might be off plan too :o

Fast day done altho had rocky road but dinner was chickpea and butternut squash curry for 300 cal. Had an ok day altho tomoro will probably be horrific! Still no idea about food for tomoro night, have thought we might use my 6:00am start as a reason to not stay late! Won't be drinking much so...

Had a good morning, took my rocky road in to work and went down well, went to matalan only bought a light pull which I thought was very restrained could have bought soooo much lovely stuff! Wrapped Ben's presents this morning just need to write his card. Also prepped all my food for tomoro for...

Have you seen a specialist? I had an MRI scan when I was first diagnosed and saw a consultant neurologist. I did find that this really helped, but I know mine are essentially stress related too, and my sleep pattern has a big impact too. I am sure you know all the tricks but I do find ginger...

Did skip second HEXB after rocky road gate! Tucked up now in my new bed socks mum bought them they are gorgeous pink cashmere very lucky girl! Think lunch at work on Saturday will be pastrami sarnie as got some to finish and I do love it can make quickly too before work at 5:30 on Saturday!

I came off dianette more than 10 yrs ago, I had been taking it for about 6 years and moved to an injection, as I had a dvt and can no longer have a combined pill and didn't have any adverse affects, I was taking it initially for my skin as I suffered badly from acne but had no problems coming...

Was really tasty :) Made rocky road earlier and cut it up a few bits may have ended up in my mouth ooops!! Need to plan meals for Saturday tomoro morning as am working late and back in at 6 on Saturday so must be organised or it will be a disaster like the last Saturday I worked! Quite tired...

Lunch for me and mum from the latest mag, Mediterranean cod bake v tasty and easy. Mum really enjoyed it too. Cleaned up and properly done the kitchen floor which was needed as had been doing a quick steam mop job! Living room has been re arranged again still not keen but sick of changing it...

Had a quick look and wanted to be 11st 4lb this week am 11st 4.5lb so ok with that :)

My fav occupations too! Preferably with a cheeky glass of red!

It really does! I find planning is key, and figuring out what you like to do with cals, I aim for 250-330 for a meal then nibble on rest in the evening. I also find that as I can only eat on a break at work that helps tho I struggle to drink enough as I can't drink on a break. The results make...

1200 cals aren't much I would guess I average closer to 1550-1800 on sw 300 for 15 syns, 2 HEXB 220-240, HEXA 220-240 plus everything else which is easily another 600-800 as quickly adds up!!

I found you :) Hope you get your mojo back. I did pp for a while it didn't work for me but we are all different, I do red days which I know sw classes don't support anymore but I have been doing them for 18 months and they work for me carbs are not for me and eesp was too restrictive even for...

Worst thing was she worked in a coffee shop she said!!!! I always try to be a lovely customer as I know a mean one ruins your day. Weigh did make my day day tho, feel so pleased I dragged myself back on plan and managed a fast day yesterday too. Going to plan the next week as carefully as I...

Had burger and chips for dinner was lovely sw friendly but syns will be around 25 for today due to extra Hifi and wine and a white roll, worth it tho as needed. Had a customer tell me I was a vile disgusting woman today. Possibly worst thing a customer has said to me! Quite upset by it but my...

I lost 3.5lb an so happy!!! Feel I worked for it so is deserved but much more than I expected! Planning so much has worked for sure :D

Come home for lunch as it's weigh day. Had eggs mushroom onion smoked salmon scrambled and topped with cheese and tommy k :) trying to eat before wi now which is working ok! Need to write a shopping list for when I finish as making rocky road to take to work for valentines day on Friday slightly...

I just have one meal, I find it easier that way but it is personal preference I know some people have 3 small meals. I tend to have one meal then a hot choc and a Special K moments for a sweet treat

Had a nice chilled evening, been researching places for afternoon tea a week on Saturday :) found a lovely looking place will not be on plan!!! Ben's brother and sister in law and their children are coming this weekend. Not impressed to be honest, I have asked him to investigate details so we...

Fast day done and had dinner already :o better than me getting hungry and stuffing my face which has happened. Was shanghai prawns from the new mag easy quick and tasty so will do again and have enough cals for chewy d and Special K moments later :) Waiting for a parcel at the moment, I want to...

Oh Hun sorry to here that. Text me if you need to off load a bit.

I went to sleep! I needed it tho as 7:30 start again so just having coffee! I syned the bread and had another HEXB there is hardly anything in it so finished on 15 as had Special K moments too Fast day today :o haven't done one since last Monday as been so bad! Am hoping it goes better as I...

Because I had the wrong bread I am on 10 syns for the day. Tried the food tracker is a bit rubbish the ww one was better when I started that nearly 10 years ago! So I can have a hot choc and chewy d or a decaf latte and a chewy d and Special K moment thing or I tweak and have biscuits and a...

Managed to stay away from the biscuits and the cakes :D Need to add up my syns for today so far and plan my broad church treats! Come home and made beef kofta for dinner, washed my hair and put washing on. Made 2 portions of kofta to freeze as well and had mega bargains at work had £22 of...

And yes reviewing something that is coming in at 8pm is way beyond what should be asked of you. That is being at home time not reviewing documents time!

I have all weekend hasn't got to a migraine just hovering round with all the symptoms but not in an extreme way which was odd. Much better today thank goodness! Had a few moments of whoo head but only 2 hours til home time :D

I was awake at 7:30 even tho no alarm too many early starts! Struggling with my will power at the moment as there are biscuits and Nutella and ginger cake just right in front of me! Gah! So got 2 apples and some water to keep me distracted! Have had salad cream and mozzarella as was hungry...

You know you'll get back on it and having the dress to aim for will help. I got exactly where I wanted to be with the focus of Vegas and the west coast last year I just lost it when we got back..... I totally get the migraine thing but it isn't in your control at all and you can't predict when...

Alarm set :( have had a really nice lazy weekend tho so shouldn't moan I guess! Did shopping and washing just need to clean the kitchen floor. Got Ben plenty of valentines pressies and ordered myself new boots. So just need to wrap them and write his card and find out what he would like to do...

Dinner was v good. Slight tweaks to recipe but rich and tangy with lots of cauliflower rice. And my skinny latte from earlier. Do love my nespresso machine! Halved the marinated chicken and frozen it as Ben having steak at his parents. That cool as got me time with the new episode of suits...

Ended up falling asleep didn't make me feel much better but did make lunch after I woke up, had leek mushroom mange tout smoked salmon and eggs all cooked together. Was easy and quick and filling. Just had two apples and a skinny almond latte. Dinner is buffalo chicken which is marinating...

Hey lovely, I don't feel much better I still have a headache :( dragged myself to Aldi tho and am stocked up :) found lots of things I didn't realise they sold but think I did buy a hovis that isn't a HEXB which is annoying! But they don't have much choice. I'll feed it to Ben! Have had baked...

Tucked up safely now. Have consulted Ben on the on going sofa saga he not sure about the dfs one I like! Might go and look tomoro, dinner with his folks would be beef which I'm not keen on so think we will decline offer and either have buffalo chicken or brown down chicken maybe buffalo chicken...

Had veg chilli for dinner with cottage cheese was very yummy and feel better for eating. Am just deciding what to have next. Got plums which I don't like very much! Only had 5 syns so think I will find some picky bits and a hot choc Meal plan is written apart from tomoro. Am considering a...

Think I have planned meals until next Saturday which is valentines day. I expect we will have steak. Won't be sw friendly but if I can be on plan til then will feel I have achieved something. If I can persuade Ben to have Chinese I will tho as can be better I think as no chips then...

Me neither! On a countdown :D

Sofa is still undecided, am leaning towards plain as think nothing will match even tho I did everything separately. Bed I know I want grey, mattress I don't mind too much Ben will be able to pick that as I am not that fussy and he is! Had a dreadful week, gained 2 and been off plan since too...

Slight tangent but are you recording season 6 of the good wife on more4 started last Thursday so should be able to catch up on demand too is def on sky on demand. Just started the killing the us one as subtitles are a no no! And if you haven't watched house of cards there is time before season...

Oh my goodness am so sorry that is such sad news. I hope you have managed to get some rest. xxxx

Fast day went really well had Thai fish cakes with leeks mushrooms and cauliflower rice for dinner, sat with oh while he ate McDonald's as we were looking at sofas. Had a quick look in dreams too but didn't see the bed I really liked. Need to go to bed now as another pre 6:00am alarm and a...

Home for lunch done a bit of cleaning and popped the heating on so the house isn't freezing later. Think I might pop to dunelm after work and take back a mattress protector and tomoro take back some bedding to primark.. Going to get a king size bed so mattress protector too small and just not...

The heating is still broken and I am fasting some how is easier knowing I won't eat than picking what is sensible. Bought a water bottle on Saturday reduced to £1.20 from £6 which is 750ml so aiming for 2 a day Doing all 6:30 starts this week which I love as half way through the day by 10:30...

No and I didn't have any wine which is always a challenge for me! These are baked oats. Basically baked porridge. Is 35gms porridge oats, and egg, 50 ml milk and 2 tbsp sweetener. Then do what you fancy! I added vanilla essence and raspberries so had to syn them, seen people add peanut butter...

Fell of wagon! Had chicken chips for dinner as at Ben's parents so not much choice! So had a rubbish day again. Fast tomoro need one!

Been good so far, had baked oats for breakfast. Lunch was cottage cheese tuna celery and carrot sticks plums melon and an apple got a herb tea. Not sure what is for dinner depends on Ben a bit. Have watched the tennis now might read a bit tho not sure, chores done so don't have to do anything!

Had a dreadful day yesterday, I had B white roll, fried egg, butter, 2 mini potato rosti tommy k lemon yum yum L southern fried chicken wrap, baked crisps, mini toffee pud S chewy d Special K moment D quorn pasta bake with oil and cheese S mini stollen bites, dark chocolate crisps, 3 glasses...

Had too many biscuits last night :( I think I had 40 syns yesterday bum. Working 6:30-3;30 today and no idea if Ben's brother and sil are coming today I have to say I hope not as I'm exhausted and socialising not high on my list of priorities for later so we'll see. Have no dinner plan as no...

Checked and around 8 syns so chomp for 6 would take me to 14, Special K moments and a hot choc would take me to 15 plus to my k so around 17/18 which I am ok with

Purse was in the car thank goodness! So went back and for roll cheese and potato for dinner and made this was so tasty!! Ben has bought me a chomp too so will have that later and need to figure out syns of the potato I had as did a red day am guessing around 11

Went to get crisps and chocolate on my lunch break and my purse isn't in my bag :( was going to buy bits for dinner tonight as well I hope it's in the car as I paid for parking on weds evening in town after dinner. So frustrating tho! Will have to go home and come back. Grrrr

Thank you :) xx Have had porridge was too hungry not to! So will syn either the potato or the whole meal bun. Heating still broken here, very lucky that I am in the cafe which has so many electrical appliances it is warm enough that and working hard :p Not made a decision about what to do...

Beta blocker taken and feel ok and am walking to work. Food today B1 hard boiled egg B2 fruit and yoghurt porridge if I need it L tuna cottage cheese carrot sticks celery sticks more fruit D burger, whole meal bun wedges cheese onion and mushroom S hot choc and Special K moments in front of...

Fast day went well and we watched Selma last night which we enjoyed. Yesterday I had Special K moments biscuits 95 cals Cauliflower mash leeks and mushroom 120 cals altogther should have had cod for 100 cals but it wasn't cooked and couldn't face it when it was cooked so had cheese instead 120...

Fast day today but I am at home which makes it both easier and harder! Easier as I can drink lots which I can't really do at work, but harder because it is tempting being at home! Got the aus open tennis on at the moment with my cuppa, am not sure I can watch the whole thing but it made me get...

Thank you :) Been for dinner in wahaca a Mexican restaurant that does tapas style dishes was delicious but not SW friendly at all. But a child free catch up with my best friend 100% worth it! Will be back on it tomoro!

Lost a lb this week am happy as weighed in the morning last week and haven't had a great week! Fasting has def helped so extra focused for it not to catch up with me next week. Does take a while sometimes for what I ate to show on the scales!

Cauliflower rice? Butternut squash wedges? Mangetout and broccoli and baby corn? I've started bleaching them and like them with fish but would go well with chicken. Beef kofta is a red day fav for me. Lasagne with leeks flattened out rather than pasta? Get a spirailizer and make courgette...

Have just had that talk from OH, not sure I care enough to make them, I know I could if I wanted to. Ben thinks I should fight and scream and shout, but that won't change anything so I have to decide what I want and then go from there. Wi tomoro

Been a crap year! I can walk to work and good discounts and reasonable immediate colleagues, and my last lot of job applications were so demoralising I gave up!

Work! Essentially that I am not performing my job role and would I like to "step down" am frustrated as the reasons I'm not are because of previous poor management decisions. So I either have 12 weeks to prove myself or I can stay where I am. The person I had the conversation with was lovely...

Had an awful afternoon, spent far too long crying! Trying to process everything now have lots to think about. Will probably mean a sleepless night!

Sooo cold heating isn't working at work :( firmly on plan regardless tho :D have had 5 glasses of water with lunch and on a cuppa now. Had plums and apricots as my post dinner fruit yuk!! Def not buying them again! Am crossing everything that I can sts tomoro as really not been on plan but I...

Fast day done, got enough cals left for a hot choc, a weetabix bar and some Special K biscuits with broad church. Am very dehydrated from yesterday still so trying to get fruit tea in me! Have cleaned kitchen and cooked salmon for dinner tomoro night to have with veg I think. Food tomoro will...

Did give in to hangover munchies but back at work today so hopefully will help me stay focused! Going to fast I am so tired tho going to be hard as should have been doing 2-9 am now doing 9-6 as woke up to a message asking me to change my shift but am still half asleep and house is a tip as was...

Got a but of a hangover today ooops had quite a bit of red wine and despite sleeping until 11 definitely feeling a bit rubbish. So far had a weetabix bar and just had a banana wasn't on plan yesterday at all so need to at least try today!! Fast day tomoro. Might have doze now as think that...

And then had Chinese :o was chop suey and a bit of rice and I'd didn't eat it all. But need to get refocused as have only done one day on plan since Sunday. Not good and have have 2 fast day fails this week. Being on holiday is tricky. Will be happy with a maintain next week and might fast...

I know! Am eating cheese on toast at the moment ooops!!!!

I thank you, I need to tidy up more today is full of junk and messy! But am in bed at the moment! I will get up....when I have finished internet browsing! The app is roomle, it does plans like this and you can view everything in 3d too. I lost 2.5lb yesterday. I had porridge and a drink to...

Thank you :) is the benefit of a new build living room is huge! And faces the garden which I really wanted. I chose the colour 10 years ago in my flat and I still love it! I'm either very stuck in my ways or it is timeless!! I prefer the later! We spent hours last night making room plans and...

Re arranged living room trying to workout space available for new sofas as they are all so big!!!

Breakfast didn't happen really as just went out had a chewy d as were on offer in Asda not bad tho I did eat it very quickly as was starving by then! Also got the moment biscuits too they were nice as well for an evening tv snack. Got some hot choc sachets too to see if I like any enough to get...

My fast day wasn't a fast day really after huge amount of car stress and annoyance with each other we went to halfords and bought a jump starter. So test will be if it starts today! Am going to go to Asda as I can get a bus home from there if I need to! Or walk if I feel energetic! If it is ok...
