Hi Girls, Haven't been around much, guests plus a few trips away and tbh not really had my head into SW at all. Miraculously went home to the UK and ate and drank a load of rubbish and still lost a 1lb and then the following week lost another 3.5 lbs so hit my initial target. Honestly I have...

Just a quick check in, 1lb on today...nowhere near as bad as expected, sure it's because I've all but given up bread (supplemented that with wine last week though). Anyway as Debs said, new week, fresh start...oh wait I'm coming back to the UK tomorrow for a week....fish & chips ooooops :)

I'm sure you can. We're both in the same boat this week but lets not feel guilty or bad about it. Definitely no chocolate or crisps for you and no alcohol or yummy italian biscuits for me :)

Hi Debtin, I'm here but massively behind the thread after my week of guests (and 6 days OFF PLAN yikes)...WI in tuesday, not looking forward to it, I too have been constantly eating and I won't even tell you how much I've drunk. Going to read what you've all been up to now. Good luck with the...

Feeling a bit better so far today, going to knock the figs on the head, they're everywhere here at the moment, they're actually considered weeds!! Anyway even though they're super free I think they need to be treated with a bit of caution. Will try and eat more veg instead. Kim, kudos for...

Rough day today for me...I've eaten double what I usually eat, I think it's pmt, but I just don't feel full no matter what I eat. I haven't used many sins (about 5 I think) but I've just been eating all day long, including bananas and figs, which are superfree but in my mind are loaded with...

I'm just wondering how you get all those lemons in your diet Debtin...does it count if you just use the juice? I'd like to give this a go, do you really think it makes a difference?

I was the same last night and this morning Donna, I just felt bigger but it was just cos it was WI...might not be as bad as you think hun :)

Is it the exercise?? I'm going to be very honest I don't do anything other than clean my house and ride my bike round the town (don't really use the car) but I keep reading on here that muscle is heavier than fat etc... Are you keeping track of your measurements? Perhaps you might see some...

1lb off for me today, amazing since I had two quite heavy nights out (drinking not eating)...coping really well with the food side of things, eating loads of good stuff and not even tempted by any bad food, but the drinking is really hard going since all my friends are at it on a nightly basis...

I just made a similar version of this but with lower syns! The method is the same but I used all bran and instead of 250ml water you only add 180ml and only 2tbsp of cocoa powder, I also cut the sweetner by half and it was still sweet enough. I added a couple of teaspoons of ginger because I...

OH MY GOD!! Have just used this site's conversion system instead of the google one and put on 2lbs in 5 seconds :D :D Oh well at least my real losses are showing now.

Congrats Donna :)

WI this morning and 1lb off :) Despite all my nights out so that's very good news. I seem to have got in a right mess with all the conversions from kilos to pounds though so no reduction on my actual numbers. I'm still 9stone 4lb. I can't really understand it, started off at 61.8 kilo = 9 stone...

There you go! Well chuffed for ya :D

Fingers crossed for you tonight...might not be as bad as you think :)

Hi Girls, Just popping in to say hello. Well done Pobel on the loss :) Mixed week for me this week (and only week 2!) overjoyed to find diet drinks and 0% fromage frais in one of the hypermarkets but have been out drinking 3 nights this week...eating has been 100% but lets see tomorrow what...

Probably not, I don't seem to be, even when I was at my lowest weight of just under 8 stone I complained about my boobs being too small :) I do think though that when you're under 10 stone a few pounds extra is really noticable, I know if I lose a couple I can really see the difference. I have...

Afternoon everyone :) First WI day for me and an amazing 3lb loss!! :) Very happy since I did go a bit nuts at the weekend and drunk a litre of red wine Saturday night...I was super good in the week though so I suppose it balanced itself out. Not expecting this to happen every week but it's a...

I agree! 60£ is crazy and that's one of the reasons I'm going it alone...I'm sure I can get all the info I need here...if I could though i would deffo attend a class, that way you get the moral support I reckon.

Quite jealous that you can get a kebab Donna!! I'd love one but unfortunately the stuff they do here is nothing like the ones at home! Sure you will enjoy it! Kim, that's brilliant news about needing a size 8 jeans, you must feel great! I'm in size 10 but they are a snug fit at the mo :) my...

Thanks will check that website out!

I was home a few weeks ago for the stone roses in heaton park...let's just say my cheap wellies did not stand up to the challenge and ended the night in a bin :) I'm back again for Leeds at the end of August...might have to invest in some Hunters :)

God I miss English weather!! You'd be surprised how tedious it gets being hot EVERY single day :) I'm begging for some rain at the moment since it's been nearly 40 degrees every day for the last month...just goes to show we are never happy :) I see you're in nottingham...do you know rock city...

Afternoon everyone :) Today is only day 4 for me and so far it's going well....managed to eat out once and not go over with my syns (although I came home and ate a massive plate of veg). Last night went out to a bar and had a gin with sparkling water and lemon to which I sneakily added a...

Yep! Nowhere near Udine but happy to share tips :) I've just started and just working out how to do SW here. It's harder to get things like lean mince or diet drinks but it's much easier to find great fruit, veg and seafood so we definitely have an advantage there. :)

Hey!! I'm in Italy too and isn't it much harder here?? No access to a lot of the reduced fat/sugar stuff you get in the UK. On the topic of pizza though, Italian pizza is much lighter than the UK equivalent. The closest thing in the UK would be pizza express so check the syns for one of those...

I've never seen it here :( vegetarian stuff is pretty hard to get hold of and very expensive when you find it. Honestly the range of stuff I can get is super limited, no diet drinks except for coke (and even that is not sold in bars), I'd kill for a gin & slimline tonic! Same with cereal bars...

Thank you all for such a nice welcome :) It's going to be hard here in Italy as I discovered on my first day yesterday...no such thing as lean mince (no tesco or asda etc...) I went with regular and thought how bad can it be?? 9 syns bad, that's how bad :( oh well lesson leant :) Did ok...

I live in Italy, pizza, pasta and wine, so you can imagine how hard it is to stay slim here!

Thanks, I'll aim for five syns a day and see how it goes, I guess because I don't have a lot to lose that it's better to err on the side of caution. I've download the lists for the free & supperfree foods, the a & b foods and the basic syn values. I'm hoping that I can pick up enough from that...

Thanks Kim! I'm doing the EE plan (I think :)) as I can't really understand red and green days. Just one question at the mo really, can you save your syns over the week? I'm going to struggle with not knocking back the wine on the weekends and wondered if I could save up enough to have my usual...

Hello All, I'm trying to find my way around the forum but bit confused. This looks like a good thread for me since for now I'm trying to get back down to 9st from 9st7lb...at my heaviest, after my pregnancy I was about 14 stone, got down to 8st 6lb and now it's slowly creeping back up!! I'm...
