    New, lost, low and out of ideas

    Hello! I have also recently joined my forum and one of the things that is really motivating me so far is this quote that I have seen A LOT! "Losing weight is hard, being overweight is hard - which hard do you want?" In fact Jayde ^^^ has something similar in her signature :)

    Whats for breakfast?

    I had fuit & fibre this morning. I tend to swap between this and weetabix but fruit and fibre seems to keep me satisfied for longer.

    How do you motivate yourself on a down day?

    I also look at old photos of myself - this seems to be the best way to motivate me and also it brings back happy memories :)

    Diet coke chicken

    I love Diet Coke Chicken - I started making it even before I started Slimming World! And my husband loves it too. I usually serve it with boiled rice and peas.

    Foods we HATE!....

    Fatty meat or meat on the bone, salad cream and turkish delight and since I've been in Dubai I have found the most disgusting thing on earth - Moutabel - it's a smoked egg plant dip that looks a lot like hummus but it tastes like death bleugggghhhh

    Jacket Potato with left of bolognaise (3 Syns) with a knob of butter (3 Syns) and then carrot sticks and strawberries with FF vanilla yogurt (0.5 Syns) I wish I thought to bring some cheddar to also put on my potato as my HEXA because then I probably wouldn't have had the butter. Oh well, I...

    Why do we self sabotage?

    Well I already live in Dubai so the only holiday's I normally go on are back to England haha! It's like going on holiday backwards :D You would think that living in Dubai would be enough motivation for me because I am in a bikini a lot, surrounded by beautiful people but apparently no it's not!

    Home made pasta question

    Does your homemade pasta have oil in it? I would say it's not free because shop bought fresh pasta has Syns.

    Why do we self sabotage?

    I am terrible for self sabotage! I have tried to start losing weight so many times in the last year but I get through a week or so and I think "well it's obviously not working I might as well just enjoy myself and go back to eating junk" and then a few weeks later I will realise I have put on...

    Hello from Dubai!

    Hi Fiddlestixes! I used to work with stones and pounds but over here all the scales are in KG so I have no choice but to go with that. I think 1kg is just over 1.5lbs so 9kg would be about a stone. I think that is achivable in 4 months!!! I certainly think it's a good idea to give yourself...
