Gah I'm so rubbish at posting at the moment, really struggle to find the time! I am, however doing well on Slimming World - yeyy! I lost 3kg last week and 1kg this week. I cheated though and weighed in on Sunday morning as my son & I had our birthday party yesterday & I wanted to be able to eat...

Hi both! Thanks for stopping by! It is tricky not being in the UK and not having access to lots of the ingredients mentioned in recipes. I'd also much rather go to a group, I tried signing up online but as soon as I got access to the site I realised it's a real rip off! Where are you based in...

Dare I say I'm coming back? Very shame-faced albeit. Since finding out I was pregnant my head just hasn't been in the game. Now he's almost one year-old and I'm getting fatter and fatter. It's a very clichéd time of year to start a diet but why not give it a go? Wish me luck....

Hiii!! We made it to the UK, our 600 mile journey actually went by quite quickly! Up until now food hasn't been on plan as such but healthy. Today SW will reign again! Breakfast: banana and yoghurt Lunch: lasagna (HeA + 2 syns for bechamel) with salad Dinner: something with turnip as I've...

I forgot to say that Charley, you would have been proud over the last few days! With all this walking in the Sun it's hard to keep Clevins out of it, the hood of the pram never seems to cover him fully so I've been taking my cardi off to drape over the push chair and protect him - meaning I've...

Whaaaat?! I can't believe Jamelia said that. Pffft. I agree, us plus sized ladies need clothes to wear! As if not having plus size clothing on the high street is going to solve obesity... Anyway I don't think there is enough plus size choice on the market! There is never much choice, in New...

Welcome back! So happy to hear (read) you have had a nice holiday and that your first solo adventure has been a success! I can't wait to see photos! What was the weather like in the end? Did you get the balcony?? Hope you don't have any more nightmares though and hope work was OK today xx

Yesterday (Red) HEA: mozzarella HEB: 198g new potatoes

You do right, I wouldn't want anyone to recognise me either! Hmmm call me naive but I haven't planned the journey at all! My plan is to get off the ferry & plug in the GPS and see where it takes us! It's good to know there are M&S food shops, I'll definitely find some nice stuff in there! I...

Thanks for the tip, Patty. I think I will contribute to that thread. I must get some more weetabix, I like having that as a HEB. Also when I'm back in the UK my Mum & I are going to go to a group to get the new books (as you suggested) and I'm going to stock up oh Hi-Fi bars. It's a shame they...

Your weekend sounds lovely - the photos are great! I also agree that dinner last night sounds good, healthy choices were made! I don't think the chicken roll is weird for breakfast, I love savoury stuff for breakfast. My husband on the other hand often eats a whole packet of cakes with a bowl...

Hi Charley, I'm doing OK today thanks! We took Clevins to get his meningitis vaccination this morning and he was a very brave little boy, only cried for a second or two. He is growing so quickly! He's already 70 cm at 3 months old which is well above the 97th percentile, it's crazy! Goodness...

For food that isn't free it's 1 syn per 20 calories but if it's partly free (the main ingredient of the item is free)the only way of accurately counting syns is using the online calculator which is for members only x

Thanks, Michelle!!x

Can anyone (pretty please!) possibly work out the syn value for a yoghurt of me, please? It's a supermarket version of the Danio but I just want to make sure they're along the same lines syn-wise: For a 100g pot: Energy: 349kj/82 calories Fat: 0.1 saturated fat: 0.06 Carbs: 12.1 sugars: 11.7...

It's frustrating, isn't it, Patty?! I think you're right. Clevins has just had his lunch so we will go and enjoy the Sun for an hour or so.

Gaaah I can't stop eating today. Al on plan but the frustrating thing is I'm eating out of 'boredom'. Going back to work will be horrible as I'll have to leave Clevins but at least it will curb my snacking! Breakfast: bacon, scrambled eggs & mushrooms Snack: slice of ham, 0% fat yoghurt...

Hi hun, hope you're doing ok!xx

Sorry you didn't like it! I eat loads of it as it's rich in protein and low in fat so very filling and the calcium is a great plus! Sorry you didn't enjoy it though. Well done on a great weekend, I'm glad you enjoyed the social event. I hope it gives you confidence to go out more often :) As...

After resisting the pizza this morning I got the day off to a good start! I might start having the danio yoghurts on a more regular basis. It'll help me to have more syns and may actually limit my over all calorie intake as I do sometimes eat the free ones mindlessly. We'll see how I get on...

I'm hoping it wasn't too bad! I am proud of sticking to one slice, it was even harder as there was a slice left that I came across while making up Clevins' 4am feed and I almost cracked. Almost! Thanks Charley! I hope I can keep it up this week. Yes, babies are meant to be chubby! Actually one...

Hi Charley, hope you've had a good weekend! Did you decide to abstain from alcohol or the buffet in the end? (Or neither!) xx

I had a slice! One slice of medium pizza, I'm guessing it's somewhere near 15 syns, maybe over but hey, I have a whole week to make up for it :)

I'm loving the new picture, Patty! You're right, slow losses are better for our bodies but faster losses are better for our motivation I think :D. Yes, I felt so proud! I can't wait to show him off in England next week! No, they don't do that here, I can imagine it would be quite embarrassing...

Thanks! I hope you're right Letzes although this time last year I was 20 kg lighter than I am now and still didn't like my arms, goodness knows how much I'd have to lose to be comfortable. We'll see when I get to target (notice I said when, not if?!). I bet loose skin is really annoying. I don't...

Hope you're having a great time, Kelly! Can't wait to hear all!xx

Just weighed in and I've lost a kg - phew! I must admit I'd have liked to have lost more (don't we always?!) considering last weeks gain so but I'm so happy with a loss as the scales have been fairly static all week. I also know I've been perfectly on plan all week so I don't feel guilty...

Hi Lee, Just came across your diary - love your survival tips! I think it's great that you and your sister have been able to support one another and continue to do so (also glad I'm not the only one who gave up during pregnancy!) Seems like you have a great mentality and a great attitude...

Very easy! It's not really 'baking' as such. Just cook a couple of sweet potatoes in the oven until nice and soft then scoop the flesh out of the skins. Mash up (I use a hand mixer) and add in sweetner, nutmeg cinnamon, vanilla essence, (all to taste)a bit of milk from allowance, 2 eggs and a...

Not very British but I sometimes make crustless pumpkin pie or crustless sweet potato pie which are both yummy syn free desserts which taste quite decadent!

Well done! a kg is great! Only 7 left to go and you're at target :) xx

Fabien woke up early this morning :eek: Normally he loves a lie in but as he was awake we went for a walk with Clevins. We walked back to the area we used to live in and showed him off to our old neighbours which was nice. He's gone to coach a basketball tournament now though and won't be back...

I can't complain really, from about 8 weeks he was doing a 6 hour stretch of a night which is why it was such a shock to the system! He slept well again last night though so I'm caught up again, phew! I'm really glad you wrote this to me as I got on the scales again this morning and they're...

Hmmm I think pregnancy was an excuse rather than to blame! I can understand you must be getting frustrated, it'll happen though - hang in there!x

Hi there Letzes! Popping by to sub so I can follow your journey too! You have done very well so far and your food looks lovely! I especially like the look of the salad you had with the chicken breast - yummy! I think when we have a lot of weight to lose (like me!) the only option is to take it...

Those falafel look lovely! Do you make them yourself?xx

Hi Letzes! Welcome! I am actually from the UK but France has adopted me since 2009 :). Are you from Belgium? Or just living there? It is nice to have another 'foreigner'. It's true, I really must start being more positive, hopefully my breakthrough yesterday is the start of a new chapter in my...

I feel like a zombie! Clevins had a hard time sleeping last night and has been grumpy all morning :(, poor baby. Food: ham in egg wrap with tomatoes (I might be addicted...) Snack: strawberries & banana Lunch: steak (can you tell I got a batch of steaks on offer the other day?) with cabbage &...

:bliss:Well done on the loss!!! x

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm garlic bread!!

Eeeeep I'm so excited for you! That is an early start but it will be worth it, and very nice of Martin to offer to drive you so early! Mmmmm I love burritos and actually have 3 free burrito cards for Chipotle as they double charged me once...I will have to save them for a treat for when I'm...

What Patty said :D I'm also glad that Rachelle invited the dogs in the first place. Sounds like you had a lovely afternoon. It's hard not to graze at these sort of events. Sometimes I think we're harder on ourselves when we graze but may actually eat less over all. The halloumi burger doesn't...

It's nice to hear from you again, Sophie! It does sounds like the company is expecting an awful lot from you with the travelling and it sounds like you have made the right decision. Life is for living and although I'm sure you enjoyed the travelling part once upon a time it sounds like you're no...

Very wisely said Patty! For the moment I prefer to cover up, especially when I know the people I'm with. Maybe this will change in a few stones time. My thighs rub together too and get sore so I always have a pair of Fabien's shorts on underneath skirts and dresses! The other benefit is I can't...

Hi Nat, I came across your diary and I too am in the same boat, although I gained 4 stones back in 9 months :eek:! You're first weigh in is amazing! You're obviously well on track! Anyway I thought I'd subscribe :) xx

That's crazy!! Poor little girl :(, the things some poor kids go through... You're right too, domestic abuse happens both ways round and both are equally as unacceptable. Well done you for resisting the kebab and sticking with salmon. I love salmon and could easily eat it every day though...

Patty, I like the idea of splitting syns up, perhaps it's something I will work towards. I do think I'd be better off from abstaining from really naughty stuff for at least a few weeks though. As Kelly says it can be hardest when we're starting out. I envy Michelle too! Kelly, they're all very...

So I came across a thread about moderators and abstainers (Patty, I saw you commented on it already!) and I have to say it really struck a chord with me. I'm an abstainer and I have to be an abstainer. Moderation just really doesn't work for me. Last week was a perfect example, I had a bit of...

Hi Cheeky! Wow, with such little sleep you'd have no problem with a baby! Your fitbit stats are great! You've walked a whole marathon this week!xx

Hi Charley, hope you just had a busy day yesterday and haven't left us!xx

Yes, no wonder you got a strange look ordering a cocktail at 10am! Yes, they do need attention early in the morning, today he woke up at 5am, but I can't complain as he'd slept through since 11pm. He's trying to nap now but he keeps hitting himself and waking himself up :rolleyes:. To be...

Hi Patty! Glad you're here! Yes - pick away! You need to ask for 'un café allongé' (literally a lengthened coffee). If you wanted a double shot of coffee you'd say "un double café allongé". What you said is completely understandable though...don't know how she brought you alcohol?! xx

Where is everyone today?? It's so quiet!

Hi Cherrybobs! Food is looking great, I find it helps to keep a note of food too to stay on track. Hope you have a nice meal at Harvesters!

Oh I have to admit I really miss Hi-Fi bars, the chocolate orange ones used to be a treat if I fancied chocolate and would feel really decadent and naughty having them! I'm back at in the UK for a few weeks soon so I may check out the Iceland meals, just to see what they're like! I really enjoy...

It sounds like Pinta did really well, and so did you too! You're completely right about the other participants, they shouldn't be there if they're going to judge! You're all there for a reason! Pffft. Food for yesterday sounds great too! Hope you have a lovely time at Rachel's BBQ this...

We had a really nice walk, we were out for about 1.5 hours and I think we'll go out again in a bit. Just had lunch but still feeling hungry...I'm going to have a decaf coffee and see if that fills me up a bit! If not I'm going to have to have a fruit fest! xx

Morning! It's another lovely day here in Paris (23 degrees!) Clevins has his dungaree shorts on and is looking majorly cute! He's just having a nap and then we'll go for a walk. I had a really nice breakfast at about 6am. I'm hungry again now so having a snack! Here's the food plan for today...

Mmmmm that salad looks lovely!x

Hi Kelly, Yes, I was being really stupid. My problem is not voicing my concerns/plans. I just let them whiz around in my head but once I'd said them out loud I realised how silly I was being! And it's right what you say, life is a work in progress! Nothing is ever perfect and happiness is just...

Morning all! Bad news first: I put 2kg on. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Today is a new day! Sun is shining and all is good in the world! F and I had another long heart to heart last night and he helped...

Well done for the STS!! That is awesome!! You obvs ate really well the rest of the week! Shame about your weekend buddy. Will the new person be there when you get back from Oslo? Hope you have a better day today!xx

Morning Charley, That's the age old question!! (The one I was asking myself yesterday :rolleyes:). First of all you haven't ruined it! Like you said, you've been good all week, this is just one day off! Secondly, as the nice weather is coming, if you think this could be a regular occurrence...

Hi Kelly, food looks great for today. 5 DAYS UNTIL OSLO!!!! Aaaaah!!! I'm so excited for you!! :D xx

I'm still quite full from lunch so I've just had a slice of ham and some frozen pineapple for dinner. I might have a yoghurt too but I don't fancy a big meal. Midnight hasn't struck yet but I'm happy with my day today! Hope I can do the same tomorrow....xx

Thanks Michelle, I do feel much better. Yes, this site is amazing! So, tried to take F to his bball practice but we forgot it's marathon day! All the roads near the sports centre were cordoned off by the police and we were stuck in traffic for ages. In the end, when he was about 30 mins late he...

That is a long banana!! It's looking good though, Charley!xx

So I gave Clevins to F to look after and had a much needed hour to myself locked in the bathroom; Got on the scales and things aren't looking good but I have drunk 2L of water since 6am and I try not to overdo it on liquids on weigh day so I'm going to wait for tomorrow to update my stats. I...

Thank you both so so so much for replying in my hour of need! I did just have a big cry and a bit of a breakdown. Fabien tried to reassure me but it's frustrating because he just doesn't understand, so your support really does mean the world to me! I just keep self-sabotaging and it's so...

I've gone off the rails! I've lost my mojo! I've been eating loads of rubbish and I can't stop myself! I don't know what's wrong with me, it's like I don't even care how fat I am and I hate myself for it :cry:

Hi ladies! Patty, it is definitely a good thing for the peanuts! I won't be tempted by the PB any more! I have figured out though why I've been feeling so funny over the last few days, a bit snacky and moody and a bit self hating - the TOTM came this morning, for the first time in a year! I...

I'm really struggling! I can't seem to get my head in the game. I've just eaten far too many raisins which are full of sugar and now I feel sick. Why do I do this??! I wonder if I'll ever get my groove back...

Hope everyone has had a good Easter! I've had a busy weekend with F and C but have been good food wise and stuck well within my syns until yesterday evening. The sun was shining yesterday afternoon so we went to a local café for a drink in the Sun and I overdosed on peanuts. It turns out I must...

I lost 2 kgs!! Despite havingsome of Fs pizza on friday night! What a relief!! It's really motivating seeing the scales go down, I hope I can stay fully on track this week. Happy Easter everyone! xx

Kelly, can I ask what you do differently on a EE day, being a vegetarian, other than having fewer HEs? I've never seen pre-prepared butternut squash over here but I do have a very good knife! It'll take us about 3 hours to get to Calais but we're allowing more time as it'll be the school...

Hi Kelly, I hope you're enjoying your day off! Your omelette really does sound awesome - yum! Such a shame your friend is leaving work, fingers crossed they find a good replacement for her. Taking the dogs out in snow & hail? You definitely are a dedicated dog owner and I'll remind you of it...

Hello! To be honest Patty I've never tried freezing it before but seeing it in the cupboard was driving me crazy! Yes, I freezed it in spoon sized portions...we'll see how it turns out! In F's country they use peanut butter to make savoury dishes which is why F's Mum sent it over really, not...

I'll catch up properly in a bit, just want to note down food quickly. I'm having a guilt-free green day! Breakfast: banana & FFNY with dusting of cinnamon Lunch: pasta salad (pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, grated carrots, green beans, mushrooms, peppers, capers, olives (1syn) and...

Hi Kelly, yes it was very stressful! I mean it was fine in the end but I would have liked to have a bit more notice, I'm a bit of a planner and I get stressed out when impromptu things pop up. F's sister is a major diva and drama queen which means that Fabien often gets pushed out and is too...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been naughty this weekend! Although I have been much worse than you :D Glad you had a nice night with Michelle and hope it made up a bit for you not feeling so good x

I'm pretty sure I'm stating the obvious but I'm in Paris!

Oh, and since I'd been so naughty I decided a couple of spoons of PB would go practically unnoticed.... It's safely tucked away in the freeze now though!

Forgive me minis for I have synned! We've had such a stressful weekend and I've been rubbish foodwise and was very lucky to pull off a STS today! Friday night we got a call from F's sister saying their Dad was at the airport and the person she'd asked to pick him up hadn't shown so asked if we...

A good day all round then! Well done on the loss and the excellent PDR! You're obviously a great asset and it must be nice to know your boss is scared of losing you. Hmmm that does sound interesting! I wish I didn't like sauces, think of all the syns I'd save! Oh don't worry about the PB, chat...

All this talk of peanut butter is driving me crazy! I keep on thinking about the pot of home made peanut butter that's sitting in the cupboard haha I hope you had a nice roast with Caz, and well played on the lemon fancies! And I have to ask...what was strange about the gravy? x

Yep, Patty is definitely right! I'm feeling a bit strange, down and demotivated today in regards to slimming world today. I don't know why... I think I'm lacking inspiration for meals, something I didn't struggle with really last time. Don't get me wrong, I'm still stubborn and dead set on...

Well we can wait until we're all free! My downfall is definitely portions too. Meat is expensive so I do fill up on veg on a red day but it's sooo tempting to just have a big plate of carbs on green! I wasn't too bad with the pasta at lunch time but I did have a big pile of chips for dinner! I...

That would work for me, although it'd have to be the Saturday as the Sunday is my Grandma's 80th birthday! Baby clothes really are gorgeous! My Mum keeps saying that I should stop buying stuff as he only has them on for 5 minutes, which is true but I can't resist! He was in 3-6 month sizes at 5...

Wow well done Cheeky! That's a massive achievement! I hope you don't feel too sore today!xx

I think I was 11 the last time I weighed 11 stone! There is nothing worse than not feeling right in your clothes though. No, to be honest it was too hard to concentrate on my clothes and I couldn't figure out the logistics of trying stuff on when I was alone with him. I will definitely get some...

Oooh I agree a minis meet would be great! As long as Clevins is invited too :D. We need to think of a centralish location. Even if I don't get this job we have lots of trips planned, we'll be coming over for a month mid-april to mid-may, all being well with Clevins' arm and then again for the...

Hi Charley, hope all is going well! I miss your food pics! x

Angienofrills, I was doing SW too and I had quite good losses anyway but I did still continue to lose while doing it and yes I was able to run 30 minutes although I'm not sure if I covered 5k actually as I jogged rather than ran! Maybe if I'd have been able to continue I'd have gradually built...

Well done on food today, you're definitely on the right track to staying on plan until Easter. I'm a massive nutella fan, I could literally eat a whole jar in one day just off the spoon... needless to say I don't buy nutella any more! I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter but Fabien's Mum sent us...

Hello! I've had a Monday green day today! Breakfast: dry fried egg, 1/2 tin of beans & rocket Lunch: gnocchi with green beans & salad Snacks: 2 cheese strings (HEA), oranges, banana, yoghurts Dinner: actifried chips (oil = HEB I know it isn't officially a HE any more but I'm pretending I...

Red day today! Breakfast: 3x dry friec eggs, yoghurt, orange & apple Lunch: ham & cheese wm toasties (HEB 1 & 2), mango & raspberries Snacks: about 300 crabsticks, 1 chewy d (heb2) 2xcheese strings (HEA2) Dinner: lemon & garlic roasted chicken with cauli mash & green beans

I've decided to change my weigh ins to Sunday permanently and this morning the scales are showing -2kg! Yeyy! Despite my naughty pizza on Thurday and my garlic bread & lemon meringue pie last Sunday - Phewww! x

Thanks Sophie! If I'm honest I'm annoyed with myself for putting sooo much weight on, and I actually put on about 8 kgs in the first few weeks after he was born as I was really exhausted and so just ate crap, which isn't good but getting back on the scales was a reality check! I'm trying to be...

Yay! Glad you're feeling better and well done on taking the dogs out! Food looks amazing too. And resisting MacDonald's? Go you! You seem to be really extra determined :). I'm lucky cream eggs don't exist in France because I'd have a major hard time resisting!xx

Thanks Patty! Everything was fine in the end, he cried a bit but soon forgot! He's had no fever or anything so I'm pleased! I had a good day on Wednesday, a green day: Breakfast: banana & yoghurt Lunch: jacket potato, beans & cheese (HEA1+2) with salad Dinner: actifried plantain with roasted...

Ooh yes I love the casino mango chunks! I get them and sometimes mix them with frozen raspberries - do you find them bitter too? Angienofrills, I did the couch to 5k programme last year and loved it! I had done literally 0 exercise in years, it was challenging but doable and I got such a...

That's amazing! So many trips and holidays to look forward to! It does sound like you'll get that 9th floor balcony too - if you don't ask you don't get! Yesterdays food sounds brill too! I think you are still doing amazingly well! We all have difficult periods but you are at least still...

I should in theory have 2 mothers days but I'm not sure my husband will ever remember so until Clevins is old enough to remember I'll probably just celebrate the UK one (my Mum sent me a card and flowers signed from Clevins :). Yes! it is really nice talking to R about stuff, and she has a...

Yes, we did find somewhere eventually, it's really pretty and much more spacious than the last place but I'm sure we'll have to move again once Clevins starts moving about! Yesterday was a bit hectic, a friend came to visit from London & I was worried about food but I convinced her we should...

Hi Cheeky!! Sorry to hear you've been so under the weather last week, I hope things are looking up for you today and that the smoothies are in your system. What I wouldn't give for a burrito right now! Ooooh where are you going on holiday? (Sorry, I've missed quite a lot and can't seem to find...

Today is going to be a red day Breakfast: ham, mushroom and tomato omelette Lunch: ham salad, yoghurt, banana Snack: 3 dairylea triangles & 1 light babybel (HEA1) Dinner: kfc chicken (wholemeal bread crumbs = heb1) & spinach

It really did feel like a luxury!! He did it again last night too, lets hope he's getting into a pattern! Yes we did walk, it was a lovely day, cold but sunny with a clear blue sky - my favourite weather! My Mum said the same thing, that it was pouring down in County Durham. I have another...

I changed my mind and decided to have another red day. I need to make a trip and get some beans before I do a green day so I really enjoy it I think. I'm much less tired today as Clevins slept for 6 whole hours last night! From 9pm until 3am! I feel like a new woman although I'm not getting too...

I am soo looking forward to coming home! My Mum came to stay with us for a week when Clevins was 2 weeks old and it was amazing, we've never been so close. That's very good idea, I may even rope my Mum into coming with me too! It'd be good to stock up on hi-fi bars too, I really miss them! I...

Thanks Patty! I hadn't thought of that, thanks very much! It's also a relief to read that this morning as I sneakily had 2 more dairlylea triangles during the 3am feed! I'm always rubbish at using my HEB, i didn't have any brown bread in yesterday, I'll have to get some when we go out later on...

I've managed to stay on plan!! Phew! I did a red day that looked like this: Breakfast: banana, fat free natural yoghurt and strawberries Lunch/Various snacks: chicken & leek soup Snacks: 2 oranges, 3 light dairlylea triangles (HEA), crab sticks Dinner: Roast pork & broccoli purée with 28g...

So it's 11am and I have already had 3 bowls of soup!!

Thanks everyone! His name is Clevins...very original and chosen by his Daddy. So yesterday we went to do the big food shop and I got lots of lean meats, veg and fat free yoghurts etc so I can start again today. The only problem is I'm yet to feel the 'click' so I'm not sure how successful I'll...

Hey Minis! I'm (almost) back! So, my beautiful baby boy was born on the 15th Jan, weighing a whopping 4.7kg(!) and now, 6 weeks later, life is calming down a bit and my conscience is returning. It's time to get back on track and start SW again. I say I'm almost back because while I'm ready my...

Hey girlies! I'm just popping in to give you all a quick update and beg you to not forget me!! I'm now 27 weeks pregnant with (so far!) a healthy baby boy. Pregnancy is treating me well, I haven't suffered with it at all (once again, so far!), the only downside and have put on soooo much...

Hi ladies, Just popping in for a quick update. Baby is growing which is a relief! I was at the doctor's this morning and we heard the heart beat :). We're going for the official 3 month scan on Friday at which point we may know the gender - exciting times!! As for my weight, I've been avoiding...

Hi Bev, Just catching up. I think you're doing amazingly well considering all the pressure your under! Best of luck for Thursday, there is light at the end of the tunnel!!xxx

Hi Cheeky, Sorry I've been so rubbish lately! Work sounds pretty hardcore atm, well done you for getting through it! Gall bladder pain is horrendous, I had mine removed in 2009 so I speak with experience! I've never felt such an excruciating pain! A woman in my ward told me it was worse than...

Hi Patty! Oh my gosh, this is horrible!! How do people ever have more than one child??? Some days I feel constantly nauseous and it's a real struggle to find anything to eat, other days the nausea isn't constant but the thought of some food sets it off! But it seems to be much worse if I don't...

Hi ladies, Sorry I've been away. I've had my mind elsewhere and have been really struggling with SW! MS has been pretty brutal. I haven't been sick but really nauseated and I've gone off so many foods! I can't bare the sight of raw meat and vegetables make my stomach churn! So, I've been...

Food for yesterday (Red day) Lunch: chicken breast & cucumber slices Dinner: crabsticks, gherkins, cherries & a banana REALLY random food day, with major absence of HEs but I just couldn't face it! I've done better today! Breakfast: porridge (HEA & HEB) Lunch: bacon sandwich (HEB) with...

Hi Bev! Yeah, it will be a wicked excuse for a holiday, although I'm not sure how feasible it'll be as she's only going to be there for a year but I'm sure it'll fly over anyway! MS is horrid :( yeah, I should only have it for another 6-8 weeks, but that seems like an eternity! Although I must...

Hi Patty, so nice to have you back! I did really enjoy treat night, and you're very right - it was just in time! I did get to see the little bean, but it was just that, a tiny little bean! I was very relieved to see the flickering heart beat but nothing was big enough to make it really seem...

Yeah it was horrible! It was icy cold though which I found helped and I gulped it down in one - showed off my Northern English genes ;) It really isn't nice. So far I find sweet foods are easier to stomach. Me and the DH have just done the food shop and buying fruit was easy but when we got to...

I totally get what you mean! The organisation I work for has an Equal Opportunity & Diversity policy which we advertise liberally on our premises. We also supported IDAHOT (International Day against homophobia & transphobia) this Saturday which meant we flew the rainbow flag. Our stance is...

:D Hehe!

4lbs??? You go girl!! That's amazing, Charley :D Well done!x

Hi Cheeky, SO sorry to hear about Ralph, glad you're handling it OK. Don't worry about the comfort eating, it was very small scale and understandable! That is so exciting about the car!! I bet you can't wait :D. Imagine what it'll feel like having someone new in your new car! In my line of...

Hi Bev! First of all mega well done on your holiday loss! That's amazing! It's a shame your holiday wasn't what you'd have hoped but you can put it down to experience. Your wedding planning sounds so exciting! I think it's good decision to stay in Europe, there are so many amazing places to...

Hi ladies, Thank you so much for your well-wishing, it really does mean a lot! Mrs G, I keep meaning to PM you with my facey book name :) Sorry I've been so rubbish this past week! I'm now back with a vengeance! I was off mega plan Friday night (1/2 a medium stuffed crust pizza & lots of...

Thanks Charley!! I'm going to have a night off plan tonight. Really off plan! I know I shouldn't reward myself with food but who cares! Tonight I'm having chocolate & pizza. Tomorrow I'll be back to being a good girl - promise!x

My baby has a heart beat!! Everything is fine and in the right place and the doctor detected a heart beat! 104 bpm which apparently is a very good sign at this early stage. I'm over the moon!

Hi ladies, Thank you so much for checking up on me! That's so sweet and really touching. Sorry, my heads been a bit all over the place. I also haven't been particularly good with SW (still having far too many HEBs but have managed to resist chocolate!) I'm feeling a bit more positive today...

So, he is still worried but he is slightly reassured as they have gone up. I have another blood test to do Wednesday morning, fingers crossed they go up again. He said we'll have much more info when I do the ultrasound on Friday afternoon and only at that point will he be able to make an...

My results came by email so I printed them off and am back in the Gs office, waiting. They're not as high as he told me they should be. He wanted them to come back at 10,000+ but they're only 6,377. Last tuesday they were at 1000...

Thanks, Mrs G, I appreciate it... I may have to go and buy some chocolate... xx

They can't fit me in until Friday afternoon... What a long time to wait! At least I should have the blood results this evening.... I'm so sad!

Things don't look good according to the G, he can't tell if it's made it to the right place. I've just done a blood test and am on my way to make an appointment for an echography. Strange thing is that he told me the problems and then took my blood pressure...of course it's a little high! I am...

Hi ladies, sorry for being AWOL this weekend. We've hit our busy period at work so Friday and Saturday were non stop. I was meant to go out for dinner on Friday but I ended up cancelling as I was so tired! Saturday day night was spent snuggled up watching eurovision and I didn't leave the...

1lb off for me please Daz!x

Thanks for the advice ladies! I read through your messages on my way home and it definitely was food for thought. So much so that as soon as I got in I called my Mum and told her the good news :). She was really really happy which was a relief. She often talks about how I'm too young etc. so I...

EE day: Breakfast: all bran + milk (HEB1 & HEA1) Lunch: 3x 1syn sausages, broccoli + cheese HEA2 Dinner: roast chicken & veg with oil (HEB2) & gravy = ??syns) x

:eek: I just had a MASSIVE fright! Went to the loo and there was blood :eek: After a stomach churning minute or too I realised it isn't coming from the scary place (sorry - TMI, I know!) I probably need to increase my fibre intake (despite having all bran this morning). Having such a scare...

Oh thanks Patty! That's so lovely :bighug:

Hi Cheeky. I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad :( it sounds like you need a well deserved rest! It is silly the doc wanting to put you through the water test. Would it make a big difference to your life if it did happen to be that and was treated? I know I drink and pee a lot! PJ's and then...

Thanks everyone! Yeah, Cheeky, in under an hour I got my results :eek:! I went to the doctors after work and he told me everything was fine, gave me a list of do's and don'ts and told me to go back in 3 weeks, by which time I need to have decided if I want to be followed by a midwife or a...

Got my results through.... I'M PREGNANT! According to the blood count I'm 4 - 5 weeks pregnant :D Yeyyyyyyyyy! xxxx

Thanks for sharing! :D Had a packet in the cupboard that I didn't dare open but I had it for brekkie this morning thanks to your findings!!x

Food looks good, Kay! Well done on starting a new challenge!x

Food for today: Breakfast: 30g granola (HEB) with almond milk (1/2HEA1) Snack: creme egg biscuit (4syns) Lunch: chicken salad with FFY Snack: 2xmini creme eggs (5syns) Dinner: aubergine bake with parmesan (HEA) and fruit Supper: 40g all bran fibre extra with rest of HEA1 milk allowance Syns: 9...

Evening girlies! Went to my docs appointment and he was really happy to hear our news! He sent me straight off with a prescription for a blood test (he wouldn't even let me pay for the appointment!) I managed to get seen straight away at the lab, without having to make an appointment, and the...

Thanks Charley! I'm so excited! I really hope I can carry on with SW and at the very least maintain. That would be a dream!x Thanks Michelle! I'm doing my best ;) xx I am so excited :D! Basically, last night I went for a drink with friends (luckily I only ever have diet cokes when I go out...

Thanks Patty! I'm guessing it will be my last loss for a while! I definitely am! I read that on EE you get 2 of each HEs so I'm tempted to switch to EE, or at least do more of them. I will definitely make sure I'm getting all my HEs now :D. I am concerned about running as well. I've read...

Yes it was a clear blue! Now I'm stressing out because I'm obese and pregnant :( I really wanted to be healthy! But I am so so happy - obviously! :D I'm googling away like a mad woman!x

OK, so I have some news... I know it's bad luck to say it so early on, but writing it doesn't seem so bad and I'm anonymous on Minimins so here goes... I'm pregnant :D :D After sleeping through the whole weekend and noticing other symptoms I bought a few pregnancy tests yesterday and they...

Thanks Cheeky! Weekend was good but I slept aaaall my way through it - doh!x Thanks Kay :) x

5am?? OMG! Ok, it would be a real struggle! Forget everything I just said!x

This is my meal plan for this week, for those of you who are interested! I haven't planned in syns and not always HEs either, and I don't promise to follow it to the letter! x

Just realised I'm 400g away from my 4 stone award :D x

Hi Sailorbecky! Welcome :). Thanks very much! Yeah, green days always make me feel naughty, despite being completely on plan! That being said I am going to have another one today. I LOVE potatoes :D Hi Mrs G! Thank you so much, you def don't need to be jealous though, you're doing...

-1.5 kg still, I'm very happy with that :D

3 off for me please daz!x

Sounds like you've been a very busy bunny today, Kay! I love that organised and in control feeling! I know what you mean about the old clothes, I'm just the same! I daren't chuck them away just yet but feel like i'm holding on to bad karma by keeping them... Sounds like you've had a lovely day...

Your food always sounds lush! And well done for shaking it up a bit with the Scandinavian sandwiches! Hope you've had a good day & the cake was nice!x

As my will power has been so shaky all week, Ilve made a food plan for next week. It really helped me last time to get organised so I hope it works its magic again! Tomorrow will be Week 4 run 2 then I'm going to go and do the food shopping and go by the doctors about my funny pain as it's...

Having a red pre-wi day today! I'm hoping the scales aren't punishing me for my green days! Breakfast: bacon, wilted spinach & poached egg with wm roll (HEB) and 2 x dairylea light (1/2 HEA1) Lunch: Stirfry veg with soy sauce Dinner: chicken & veg casserole Snack: wm roll with mango chutney (3...

Hi Daz & everyone! Could you put me down for 8 pounds please? Thanks! Sophie (Btw, I think apologizing is a very British trait. The opposite is definitely much worse, believe me - I live in France!)

Happy holiday!!! Bon voyage :D And don't worry about SW, you'll be too busy swimming to put anything on!:mermaid:xx

Sorry Patty! That was very thoughtless of me :sad0071:! Please excuse me! The chips were really nice and worth it! Had a great day today. I completed Week 4 Run 1 and I'm still finding I cope quite well! Went to a new shopping centre which is home to the 2nd Primark AND an M&S. I went with a...

Sounds like a plan! I am such a boredom eater. it's really hard to control :( x

Also, if I bought biscuits and stuff they' be eaten on the journey back from the supermarket!x

Don't cry Kay! Draw that line! That big fat line with a big black permanent marker pen! xx

I'm in the middle of doing the same thing! It's self sabotage! Lets stop!x

Chips are in the actifry! The oil will be my 2nd HEB. Probably not great to have the same thing for both choices but hey! Hubby is on the way home so we'll share and I'll feel less piggy! Why is it that after only using 2 syns I can still feel guilty?? :giveup:

Goodness Charley, you really are Miss Motivated! 3 different supermarkets on a Friday afternoon?? Don't know how you do it! xx

Grrrrr, I'm really tempted to make some more chips...............

I wish I could help you with mileage etc but I think perhaps Barbette will be able to help you much more! I really don't have a clue when it comes to things like that! Sorry you're feeling so bad :( You do so well to look after you Mum! Oh, and thank goodness for dry shampoo! It doesn't exist...

Bonsoir les filles! I popped into work this morning for my end of year appraisal of 2012/2013. It should have been done this time last year but due to short staffing in my department the country director was assigned as my line manager (under pressure!). Anyway, he is a very busy man and had to...

Thanks, Michelle! I know, if it continues next week I definitely will. I just feel like a wimp atm as it isn't constant and is bearable...but if it continues I will go! I'm crossing my fingers and toes!!! Pains are just the same as yesterday. I'm sort of getting used to it!x Hi Charley...

Thanks Kay! Oh wow Patty, that sounds like a right disaster! Well feel free to PM me for my mobile number, if there are any disasters (God forbid!) this time I'd be happy to translate for you! I can imagine DD being very cute speaking in French :). Yeah, the French/English relationship isn't...

Thanks guys! I'll reply individually this afternoon! Just had to tell you that I just jumped on the scales and I'm still showing a 1.5kg loss which brings me to exactly 100kg! AND my oh got on the scales and he is now 106kg! I officially weigh less than my husband! So happy! Hope this loss...

I know, I definitely should go. Especially as he has all that sort of material in his office. He'd probably be happy to see I've lost almost 25kg since I last saw him! If it hasn't worn off by tomorrow night I'll try and make an appointment for Monday :) Thanks for caring!x

Stupidly no! I try and stay off painkillers and as the pain is so sporadic I'm not sure if taking paracetamol is the best way of managing it. It comes in bursts of intense breath-stopping pain and then goes away again...it's hard to anticipate! It seems to be worse when I bend over or when I...

ooooh! That does look lush!x

I'm also feeling sorry for myself. I've been getting really sharp lower abdominal pain over the last few days. It squeezes really tight for 20/30 seconds when the pain is excruciating then it passes. I'm putting it down to PMS but I don't normally get that type of pain :cry:x

That REALLY is reassuring, Mrs G! That was a peanut butter AND chocolate milkshake! I would love to pull off a loss, especially after my STS last week! Need to get back in the zone!x

If only that was possible, I'd be first in line!! xx

Thanks Kay! I do feel really silly! I'd just ordered a salad and made a fuss about no sauce and the chicken being grilled etc, then when they brought over the milkshake list I cracked! Gahhh! Why do I do this?? How are you hun?xx

Oh yeah, it is meant to be lovely there! I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time :). Sounds like you're a regular, are the locals friendly?x Believe me I wouldn't have done it if F wasn't there pushing me on! I glad I did though now after todays massive failure! It's quite reasonably priced in...

I hang my head in shame :( I have just been to an American diner and had this: :d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh::d'oh: I am so so silly! I even feel sick from the sugar! I drank it out of pure greed :cry: I am drawing a MASSIVE THICK BLACK LINE! I am going to be...

Yes Patty! Do be careful with Sundays! I think June is one of the rare months where there are no bank holidays though, you've chosen well! In central Paris you can catch some supermarkets on a Sunday morning, usually from 9 to 12, but if you're in the Province I'd suggest you stock up before...

Hi Kay, we really did have a lovely morning! As Patty suggestéd, try with cooked fish first. I hadn't tried Japanese food before moving to Paris either and it took my sophisticated Londoner friends a good few attempts before I'd try it! Now I have raw fish, normally salmon or tuna, and I love...

Just got back from the cinema. We saw a French comedy called 'Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au bon Dieu' which was actually really funny! Its about a 'racist' catholic dad whose 4 daughters each marry someone from another cultural origin. It was really funny, especially with F and I being a mixed...

Just completed C25K Week 3 run 3 with the OH! After the 30minutes though he wanted to carry on and I still had some energy so we then followed the week 2 podcast...crazy people!! When the second one was over he practically had to roll me home hehe! It was really great though. It was so so sunny...

Well done you little star!! What a lovely start to the day and a great pre-holiday loss! So happy for you, lovely!xx

Looks like you'll be fine for WI, you've hardly eaten a thing today! (I don't know how you do it! :)) Not surprised you're rushed off your feet! You have lots to organise, Missy! xx

I had the bunny! :17729:

Definitely, Patty! I feel really good being back on plan! Todays food is looking like this so far: Breakfast: Bacon & egg sarnie (HEB) Lunch: big mac in a bowl (but on a plate!) Snack: orange, melon & 85g prunes (HEB) a 3 syn lindt bunny Dinner: lemon chicken stirfry with cheese (HEA) x

That's soooooo exciting!!! A brand new car! Woohoo! It really will be worth it to save your peace of mind! I'm so happy for you! I'm sat here grinning as I type!x

Eeeek! Bet you can't wait for your holiday! It's soooo soon! You're not bugging us! Share the love!xx

Oh, and here is food from Monday: Breakfast: bacon & egg sarnie (HEB) Lunch: chicken salad with parmesan (HEA) & fruit Dinner: chicken & broccoli & FF yoghurt

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL! Finished late on Monday & yesterday so didn't really have a chance to catch up. I'm on holiday until next Tuesday now though (:rolleyes: France). Here is my food for yesterday: Red Day: Breakfast: wm muffin (HEB) egg & bacon Snack: Fruit Lunch: ham salad followed...

It was such a great weekend! It did take a bit of planning though as my BFF lives in Lyon, which is 2 hours away on a TGV train and as we have no guest room they had to stay in a hotel and stuff. But it's nice it came together! Thanks for the congrats! Definitely could have been better but I...

I thought I might catch you all up on what we ended up doing this weekend! Friday: Had dinner & drinks at our place and ended up talking & giggling till 3:30am :eek: Saturday: meant to be going to Versailles but after such a late one the night before we decided to give it a miss. Instead we had...

Definitely feels better than a loss! I'm on cloud 9 :D. It really is reassuring! But I really will make sure it is just that, occasional! Hi Bev! It really was such a lovely weekend. My choices could have been a little more sensible (there was a salad option on the brunch menu & I could have...

By some hazardous mix up I've managed to pull off a STS! I am ecstatic! Reassuring to know that a weekend off plan doesn't result in 1 stone on! I am well and truly back on the wagon today though and looking forward to some super yummy SW creations!xx

Thanks Kay! We've just taken them to the train station. We've had such a lovely weekend! But today I've been mega naughty! In the end we decided to go out for brunch which was really lovely but crazily high on the syn scale! I had a hot chocolate, a full english (1 fried egg, 2 slices bacon...

Not all bad, Michelle, but could have been better! Hope you have a lovely day too! Was feeling a bit bleurgh so decided to go for a run (run 1, W3 of c25k) and F asked to come with me which was lovely! He even followed the programme properly! Just going to get ready and wait for the BFF and...

Quick food update from yesterday! Breakfast: fruit salad&FFNY (free) Lunch: chicken crepe (naughty!) Dinner: Home made lamb casserole (free) Post JT snack: chicken wrap (naughty!) Drinks: lots and lots of fruity rosé! A lot of syns in there! Had two on-plan meals though. I got on the scales...

Friends have just gone back to their hotel! I'm shattered and have an early start tomorrow as we're going to visit Versailles! Managed to resist garlic bread and only had a tiny bit of lasagne....did have 3 glasses of sparkling fruity rosé though.....ooops!! So much for not liking wine hehe!!xx

:eek: 1,000 pounds on repairs?? What a nightmare!! A new car definitely does sound like the most attractive option and will put your mind at ease. I think you need as few worries as possible and as long as you know you are financially comfortable enough to make the repayments then a new car will...

Hi Kay, hope you've had a lovely day and are thinking happy thoughts :D xx

Hello Diamondintherough! Thanks for popping in and your lovely words! Well done for starting out with SW - are you enjoying it? I know what you mean about experimenting, it can get boring when we're lost for inspiration! There are some really good food diaries on here though that I often get...

Red day Breakfast: banana & orange Lunch: surf & turf salad Dinner: Lasagne (wm pasta sheets = HEB) (cheese=HEA) works out as 6 syns per portion for bechamel sauce and I'm guesstimating 5 syns for 1 little slice of garlic bread... & salad which leaves room for a couple of glasses of rhum & diet...

Thanks for the advice ladies. The thing I'm concerned about is they are here all weekend....but I will let my hair down, be good where I can and not stress when I can't. I've had a great red day so far today and will have lots of salad with the lasagne so don't think I'll be too over my syns...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! You've given me goose bumps hehe! That is so, so lovely and romantic! I don't think I'd have coped had F asked me in a restaurant! Bless your poor Mum keeping that a secret! And WOW! A wedding in Barbados?! I'm guessing you at least won't need to save up for a...

I agree with Mrs G, the really positive thing is that you do care, picked up on it on the same day and have managed to draw that line. Also I think you are very brave for coming on here and confessing, I highly doubt that everyone who has a blow out does. I'm very ashamed to say I've never...

Hi Cheeky, Hope you manage to get the car situation sorted out! It all sounds very very confusing and hard to make a decision. F & I are thinking of buying a car but we can't decide if we want to buy a new one and have a credit to pay back or get a second hand one which risks falling apart...

Just completed Run 3 Week 2!! Woohoo! Feeling fantastic :D it's funny, I actually find myself smiling when I'm running sometimes! Never thought that would happen! I was also very lucky, 10 minutes from home (after the 5k training) I got caught in a thunderstorm and got soaked! I say I'm lucky...

Thanks Kay! I did enjoy it, thanks! I really needed some potato in my life! Hope you're ok hun x No problem! You've had loads going on so I'm not surprised! Thanks! All thanks to Kay's soup challenge! It wasn't easy but the results were amazing! I am actually quite sad at the prospect of...

Having a much needed green day today! Breakfast: actifried potatoes (no oil) with an egg Lunch: beany casserole & fruit salad Naughty naughty snack: nougat (over-estimating 5 syns, only had a tiny bit. A colleague brought it back from Morocco and it was so nice!) Dinner: beany casserole...

Pimp class? I wonder if that's a typo? Hehehe :8855: Good morning lovely! Hope he does come early x

It was just because I was scared of sleeping in that I went so early! To be honest there's not much chance of catching up on sleep til next Wednesday. My bestie is coming up from Lyon with her OH...it's going to be a busy weekend! To be honest, I can't get over my loss either! Xx

Red Day: Breakfast: ------------------ Lunch: 200g jacket potato (HEB) with tuna, cheese (HEA) and salad Snack: fruit salad Dinner: actifried chicken drumsticks (oil =HEB) with courgettes & salad x

Day 2 week 2 of C25k completed at 5:30 am this morning! F was really annoyed that I went out so early, as he was worried about my safety so I've promised to not go out before dawn again! I was just so tired that I was worried if I didn't go when I'd woken up naturally I might never wake up...

Thanks for the support, lovely ladies! I do scare myself sometimes! I just can't stop! I started off at 2, then convinced myself to cook another 2 and then didn't want to leave the last one (obese person logic!:rolleyes:) You're all right though, it was a one time mistake - not to be...

So, I was a complete greedy guts this morning which is why I've avoided posting, but I think I've redeemed myself since.... Breakfast: 5 sausages (5 syns) and 2 babybel (HEA) 5 sausages???? what was I thinking!! I know I'm bad at portion control but still! Glad the packet is finished, I won't...

Well done, Bev you superstar!!! We can totally do this :D!!! Week 2 day 2 for me tomorrow! Hope I wake up nice and early!xx

Thanks, Carol!! Well done to you too!!x It really is! I know! My pain threshold is worryingly high! I once had a broken foot and didn't realise for 3 months, by which time it had badly healed and broke again! haha, definitely not a natural but I am enjoying it! Nice to see you are too :) x

I mega like this, Ron! You are so right, Bev is so inspirational! But also well done you for only putting on 3lbs!! I'd have put on a stone, I'm sure! Also, think you'll be fine at Alton Towers :)xx

Oh no!! Big hugs Kay xx

Turns out the sausages are 1 syn each!! I'm having some more for brekkie again today!! xx

I really am still grinning from ear to ear, Patty! Hmmm, natural runner? Not too sure but I hope I develop a passion for it. I really do enjoy the challenge at the moment and I'm sure I'll enjoy it even more when I don't feel I have to run at the crack of dawn when noone else is awake! Thanks...

Doctor finally showed up and it turns out I did still have glass in my toe. He thinks he's managed to get it all out now and I must say I don't feel any pain any more when I put my weight on it. It should make running even more enjoyable now! x

10.15 and still no sign of my doctor. Welcome to France....

Just waiting for the doctors to open. I cut my toe on some glass last Sunday and although it doesn't constantly hurt, when I put my weight on it something isn't quite right. I'm wondering if there is still some glass in there as there is also a lump. When I put weight on my toe i get a sort of...

I've never actually been to Sheffield but I get really homesick sometimes so seeing photos of the North will comfort me! Also, as a random side note, my cousin is at Sheffield University :) You do really well with portion control! I think it's my biggest downfall at the moment, especially when...

You are my Yoda!x

You can definitely see the difference!! I wish I'd taken more photos before I started. I was so terrified of having a 'fat picture' that I spent the last year dodging away from cameras and de-tagging Facebook pics! But the difference in your pics really is amazing! I'm not surprised you got...

Awww Bev! You almost made me cry! I'm so happy you are beginning to realise just how inspirational you are and just how strong you are! The before/after is astonishing! No wonder you feel like you have a new lease of life! You have achieved soooo much and I know you're going to get to target...

Thanks Bev! I don't know what happened! I really don't! I reckon it's because I had a small loss last week maybe? Also the pf came to visit last night and this morning which def helped! I am really happy! You should be too! Look at that blue 6 sticker on your signature! Wow! Also, you are...

Thanks, Von!xx

Thanks hun! Must be satisfying seeing all your organising work being so appreciated and reaping such amazing rewards!xx

I can't open it :( x

Thanks, Mrs G!!x

Thanks hun!! It's all thanks to your fab challenge! Couldn't do it every week but it is definitely definitely worthwhile!! Thanks for all your help this past week! Hope you smash the salad challenge and get your 4.5 award soon :) xx

:woohoo:Bev!!! That's amazing!!!!!!!!! So happy for you!! 6 stone! That is so amazingly inspiring!!! :party0011: Enjoy your day off!! xxx

Yeeyyyy! Well done!! xxx

I can barely believe it myself!!!! You can't imagine how happy I am! Hehehehe!! Love the cheerleading smileys! Thanks again, Kay!xx

Thanks Kay! I really am! It's just over 6.5lbs :eek: Craaaazy! I know! I haven't lost that much in one week since my first week at SW in 2008!!! x
