Well a quick update - I'm a gym member, swim 5 times a week and have lost 9lbs so far! Long way to go but its a good start :)

Arghhh, so I totally chickened out of joining group tonight and instead of going I ate a McDonalds and drank gin! NOT a good start. But I won't let this stop me. Once I'm over that initial hurdle and a group member I KNOW I can do this. So the next group I can join is on Saturday morning, just...

Fingers crossed for your weigh in tomorrow! Just had a big catch up on your diary. You're doing so well with the speed! x

Hi guys! It's very unlikely, but you might remember me from about 4 years back. I had a very successful stint on SW where I lost 8.5 stone and I posted a diary along the way. I 'met' some lovely people on here so if you remember me, please pipe up! Anyways, time for a quick introduction - I'm...

Hey my lovelies, just popping in to report another 1.5lb loss this week - only 0.5lbs until my 8.5st award now so I'm sure it'll be mine next week! :) Merry Christmas to all my Minis buddies, hopefully Ill be around a bit more then too! x

Big hugs my lovely, hope you are well. Miss you loads, sorry Ive been so busy. xxx

Woop! 3lbs off this week, its amazing how just trying a bit harder can have such good results :) 2lbs to go until that 8.5st award, hoping it'll be mine next week! xx

Hey guys, Thanks for all your support. Its so hard getting used to this new routine and being so busy all the time, but I've made a conscious effort all week to do my best to stay on plan. Really hoping Ill be out of the maintaining gang and back with the losers this week. Roll on Thursday, the...

Hey my lovelies! Sorry I've been MIA. Life has been pretty mental lately. As always I haven't got long to post, but life is good. Had lots of fun on holiday and I'm really enjoying my first placement at hospital. I've never been as shattered in my life working 8 hours at the hospital and then...

Awww you guysss! Thanks for all the lovely comments, I'll try and get back to you all properly tomorrow! I've got the day off uni and once my coursework is done I might have time for a proper decent update again. Just popping in tonight to update with another 2lb loss this week. It'll be my...

Thanks guys! It's been a while since I posted here as had a 6lb gain from my holiday in Dublin (I totally deserved to gain too, had a blast!) - finally got back to my lowest weight after a few frustrating weeks and on Thursday I got my 8 stone award at last - woop! So here's my latest pic...

It's hard isn't it? Personally the worst bit for me is when I'm losing a gain as I just wish my life away until its gone, really shouldn't do that! Just think where we are compared to the start though! That's the main thing we always need to think. We're never going back there, ever! Ouch...

Aww bless ya Von. It's such a strange journey isn't it losing all this weight?! Wouldn't have thought it would have changed me as a person but I guess it has x

It sounds like you need a *big hug* Jemima and to be kind to yourself. After all you've been through food would be the last thing on most people's minds, so it shows to me just how much you want to lose this weight. I think sometimes though all the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect can...

Sorry for the lack of updates on the challenge! 2nd Oct - +1lb 9th Oct - Holiday 16th Oct - -4.5lbs Got my 8 stone award last night and was so chuffed, still hoping if I'm good these next 2 weeks I might be able to make my target x

Hey hun just popping in to catch up! Well done on resisting the pizza too, I hate it when I get that text. I still get 'em from Pizza Hut too - pizza is my absolute vice! Actually having one tonight but a home made one, it'll probably be still way over syns but it's my 'sod it' night so doesn't...

Hey hun, just popping in to see how you're getting on - bloody brilliant by the looks of it! Don't worry about an annoying STS one week, it happens. Last week I had a +1 for no reason, I'd been good all week and it was pre-* week, still so annoying though. Anyway I came home last night with a...

Of course we'll all be here for you! I'm so happy that your pregnancy is going well, and as for the weight gain, sod it - if I had a little human growing inside me it'd be licence to eat what I chuffin' well liked! I know what you mean about autumn/winter time - it's great for hot soups and...

Hey Soph! I know this is a little late but wanted to wish you an awesome trip! I'm sure you'll have a great time and take loads of amazing photo's! Well done on the -4lb this week too, you must be so chuffed :) Funny isn't it how we sometimes get the best losses when we least expect it, always...

Wow, well done on the cupcake tossing! I'm with Sophie - I could eat those bad boys for England! Hope you're having a good week and well done on the loss. I try not to set myself too many targets because some weeks I get good losses and other weeks it's just a miserly 1/2lb or something, gets...

Hey hun, just popping in to catch up on your progress! You're doing so well, so so close to target now - how exciting! Glad plans are going well for the wedding too, nearly under a year now, it's amazing how quickly the time flys. I'm coming up to 9 months until mine without invitations, dress...

Awww Kay my lovely, so sorry you've not been well! :( You must be getting so sick of it! I can only echo what the other lovely ladies in this thread have said - you're not a failure. How can you be when you haven't given up? As soon as you're better you'll be back on it like a champ, we all...

Hey Vonny! Came here to catch up on you and left fancying some biscuits, lol. The only way I can avoid raiding the tin is to not keep any in the house! Hope you're well and enjoying being back at work full time now. It takes a lot getting used to adjusting to a new routine so try not to be too...

Thanks guys! Feel bad for being MIA over the last few weeks and looking forward to seeing how everyone is getting on, hope you're all doing great! I'm enjoying uni so far but time management wise things are difficult, especially with working lots too, hence the lack of posts. Made some lovely...

Hey ladies sorry for being MIA - quick update - just got my EIGHT STONE AWARD. Last weeks WI - +1lb on (pre* week bloat) This week - -4.5lbs Feel sooo happy!!! :)

Another speedy food update before I hit the hay! Feeling absolutely exhausted today and went slightly over on syns thanks to a sneaky work hot chocolate. Still haven't eaten a great deal though and I'm hopeful for another loss on Thur, been doing so much walking this week! Wed 30th Sept - Green...

Aww thanks guys! Loving these 16's- looked in the mirror tonight in the loos at work and for the first time in ages I actually didn't look fat, which was nice! I can't wait to see where the next couple of stone are going to take me. Today I wore a size 14 dress and size 14 cardigan, felt so...

Thanks guys, I'm over the moon to be out of the 17's at last. That number has been stalking me for far too long! Hoping I can lose a couple more pounds this week to give me a bit more breathing room. Feeling a lot more relaxed now I'm back to my lowest weight, getting so sick and tired of...

Hey hunny! Sorry to hear about the gain today but I'm pretty sure it'll be all that water you drank. I bet if you weighed a litre of water it'd account for a pound or two easily. Try not to worry about it, it'll give you an extra boost when you see those pounds coming off the scale next week...

8lbs for me please Texty :)

Finally outta here after 2.5lbs off at WI! :) See you all in the next stone soon I hope :)

Thanks lovelies - I'm only in the bleedin' SIXTEENS at last!!! :D 2.5lbs off at weigh in scraping me to 16st 13.5lbs! I just made it by the skin of my teeth - so happy!! :) Feels brilliant that the gain is gone and I'm back at my lowest weight again. Anyway I'm off to update my stats as I...

skinnyjeans - Yeah its really hard when everyone at uni seems to eat crap. Plus like most places the healthy food is expensive and the rubbish is cheap. I was expecting uni to be pretty subsidised and cheap to get healthy things, but its not the case at all. Got myself more organised today as...

Yay, looks like you are doign great with the salad challenge! So pleased for you :) Hope you're enjoying your food too, it looks yummy! xxx

Hey guys, Thanks for the well wishes. I miss you too Kay! Uni is going well, made healthier choices today and had a mackerel salad for lunch which was pretty yummy. I also resisted while my course mates had Fancie cupcakes (best cupcakes in Sheffield). They are absolutely beaut so I seriously...

Well I survived the first day of uni. Didn't get up to much tbh, measured up for our new uniforms and got our enrolments all confirmed. I'm absolutely shattered now though as didn't get much sleep. Was meant to be in until 4 but we finished to orientation for half 2, so came home for a bit. I'm...

Skinnyjeans - Well done on losing weight while you've been at uni! If you're a Mum on top of all that you must be crazy busy too, so hats off to you! I'm hoping I won't have time to eat between working and placements, definitely won't have time for the pub much between work and uni. I did a Law...

Aww Kay I'm loving this positivity! Your hot pot looks absolutely lush and well done on the walk and yummy omelette, you can do this girl! I think getting your mind in gear is half the battle and you've done that now. :) xxxx

Yeah I've heard of the Freshers 15 - I hope I manage to lose mine! :D I'm doing Diagnostic Radiography at uni, so looooonnng days and lots of work. Will all be worth it though in the end. Pack up sounds like a good idea once I'm into the swing of things :)

Afternoon guys! Today feels a bit like the end of an era as it's the last day I'm 'off' before uni starts. Tomorrow I'll be working all day so I'm frantically trying to get everything prepared and ready today for my first proper day on Monday - eek! This first week is just the induction but in...

Phew! It was tiring just reading that post so I feel for you on how busy and exhausted you've been lately. Well done on getting to your lowest weight, that's great and shows you can do it despite all the stress you're going through. I'm starting uni on Monday and between that and work God knows...

Thanks lovely ladies! Ended up getting a bit upset last night. I just want to be back at my lowest weight so bad and I was really hoping secretly that all my Dublin gain would be off this week. Ah well, life is what it is I guess. I just hate working hard and still being higher than my lowest...

*big hugs* So sorry you're feeling down lately lovely. Losing a gain SUCKS, I'm in the process of doing it myself and lets face it, what's the reward in trying hard all week, losing weight and STILL being heavier than you were at your lowest?! GRRR! That's how I'm feeling at the minute about it...

Completely sympathise with how hard you find it when you're away on your shoots. I was just writing in my diary how I reeeeallly need to try and stay on plan when I'm away this year or I'll just keep yo-yoing and losing weight I've already lost. Dunno about you but it always feels so...

Patty - You can just copy the stickers from my sig if you like, or just search 'sw stickers' and they will come up. If you use the SW website you'll get them on there as you progress and can just add them to your sig using 'insert image'. Hope that makes sense! --- Well 4lbs of the Dublin gain...

Thanks hun. It's been a weird one for food this week with my new shifts and * week tummy. Feeling a lot better today though thankfully so back to normal sized meals. Had a yummy prawn linguine for lunch, not sure what's for tea yet but going to hit the shops after group and make something fresh...

Thanks guys I'll update on how WI has gone tomorrow! Today's food was very basic - stomach has been bad from * week so haven't felt like eating much :/ Day 8, Wed 17th Sept - Green Lunch - Jacket potato with cheese (hexa) and beans Snack - 1/2 banana, grapes Hot chocolate - hexa + 5 syns Total...

Well * week is here at last, quite relived to be honest as the sooner it's done with the sooner I get a decent loss! :D Food today has been a bit random, work had a team pizza night but I managed to just have one small slice so feeling quite proud of myself, wayhay! Determined to be bang on...

Morning guys - just! Can't you tell I've changed to the evening shift, my sleeping routine has gone completely out of whack already. I'll be glad when I start uni properly next week and I'm forced to get up for 6.30 am and break the cycle. It was my first day on my new team at work yesterday...

Just popped in to see how you're getting on and as I expected you're doing great. Well done! I'm sure you'll get your 3lbs this week and get into those 21's! :) Sorry I took so long to get back to you on my diary where you asked about excess skin etc, I've been mentally busy! Anyway's I've got...

I really wish I could come round and give you a proper hug, but a virtual one will have to do for now *big hugs*. I'm so sorry about the gain, but more so that you feel this way about yourself. I came back from hols to 6lbs on this week so I know how crap it is losing the same bit of weight over...

Quick update with today's planned food before I go out and meet my friend for a catch up. Feel like I'm finally getting into the swing of this SW lark again which is nice! Didn't get up until 12 so its a weird one food wise today: Day 4 - Saturday 13th Sept - EE Lunch - Tuna mayo (3 syns)...

Thanks guys, oh and Chris lost 1.5lbs, the bugger! He ate more than me! Grr! Ah well, today I feel a bit better as I've got the telltale signs that * week is about to hit town, usually I retain water like crazy beforehand so hopefully I might be able to get the whole 6lbs off by next weigh in...

Balls! 6lbs on, oops! I told you I had a good holiday! :p:o In the past a gain like that would have really bothered me, but I don't regret my fab holiday and I feel really refreshed and re-motivated for SW so it's all good :) Got 10lbs to shift now to my 8 stone award and determined that will...

Thanks guys! Only a whistle stop post tonight, but got some good news - I stuck to plan 100% today! Yay! Feeling proud of myself as the first day is always the toughest. Not looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow night but I know at the same time I'll have faced it then and I can get any gain...

Hey lovely ladies! Hope you don't think I've fallen off the face of the earth! We had an AMAZING time in Dublin, loved every minute of it! Drank lots of cocktails and ate some seriously 'bad' food. Well, bad in the sense that it was definitely not on plan, though I assure you it was yummy! :D...

Hope you're having fun hunny xxxx

Oh man don't do it! I tried Cambridge years ago, lost 11lbs in my first week too, but then after a few weeks it slowed to 4/5lbs and I was CONSTANTLY thinking about food and so so hungry! Nearly fainted in the end at work and had to go home. Of course after that my metabolism was so low I soon...

Thought it was time for another progress pic being as its been a couple of months - size 14 top and 16 skirt baby!! Woop :)

Hey lovelies! Had a tough couple of months but now down to 17st exactly! I'm in a size 14 top and 16 skirt in this picture, feels amazing to be able to shop on the high street at last!

Aww thanks hun! I think the reason I feel so surprised to feel more normal is because I'm still a high weight. I didn't expect to be fitting into smaller sizes like 14 tops at 17 stone, it's crazy! I do have a big arse still though, which is where most of my weight is now, and my hips. TBH goal...

Oooh I keep forgetting about him, haha! Chris lost 1.5lbs this week - 11.5lbs gone so far in 3 weeks for him and he got into the 15's :) Think he hoped for slightly more but he's really pleased with how its going so far and seems to be enjoying the food! At for the half a pound, wish I'd done...

3lbs off, 17st dead now, only half a pound and I'm outta here! :)

Woohoooo! 3lbs off this week - SOTW and SOTM too! The scale did briefly flicker on to 16st 13.5lbs but in the end settled on 17st dead, that's fine by me, gives me a reason to be as good as I can in Dublin to hopefully aim for the stone below when I'm back :) It was tasting night tonight and...

P.s if anyone sees the poo fairy please send her my way before 7pm! :p x

Thanks guys! I'm nervousss, how come I STILL get like that before weigh in?! Bit nuts really, I've been doing this long enough now :rolleyes: So long as I get 1/2lb I'll be happy as I'll get my stone award since joining group 3 weeks ago. Would bloody love more but to be honest I have no clue if...

Popping in to sub - good luck Stevie x

HAAAHAAAAA!!! YES I DID! I even rewinded to make sure - bloody 'ell! :o

OMG, poor G! Who'd have thought that'd happen! When I first read it I nearly LOLed (at the strangeness of it!) but getting heart palpitations must have been horrendous, bless him! At least you know in future not to wind him up like that, I saw the pic on FB and thought it looked cute! Hope you...

Charley - It wasn't a 'proper' 12 I promise you! That's an amazing incentive from your alteration lady, must be great motivation! I still haven't even properly looked at dresses yet, bar trying one on in Coast when a friend was nagging me, lol Jemima - Hope you have a great holiday! Where are...

Hey hun, sounds like you're having afun week. Hope the meal is nice! Great news from the docs x

Oh wow! Thankfully I never had this experience, that sounds awful. Communal showers at school were bad enough, ugh!! --- Speedy update today - quite pleased with myself as I managed to go out for a carvery and avoid yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. The only non SW goods to pass my lips...

Afternoon guys! Hope you've all had a nice bank hols. It's been a chilled one for me and started with another long lie in. This afternoon I nipped out to M&S for a healthy tea and now I'm watching US Obese:A Year To Save My Life while nibbling on fruit. Gonna watch a movie later and snuggle up...

Sorry to hear about your breakup, but I hope you're having an amazing time on your hols! Let your hair down and have some fun :) xx

5lbs off this week, 3.5lbs to go to the 16's! Really hoping if I have a good week I can be out of here x

Well done on your fabby loss this week hun! You're doing great and I'm sure you'll meet your goal of getting to the 19's by Christmas :) xxx

Awww the kitty is so cute, and that cafe looked amazing too! Don't worry about the scales, you deserved to let your hair down and have a treat :) Hope your back is feeling a bit better xxx

Well done on the pound off this week! The unexpected losses are always the best! All this talk about cake is making me want a cupcake. They are my absolute favourite food in the world and just down the road is an amazing little cake shop called Fancie Cupcakes, if you're ever in Sheffield you...

Scarlett - You're too kind, thanks for the vote of confidence! There's no way I'm an actual 12, especially when the size 18 coat fit beautifully, wouldn't have even tried it on if it wasn't for the fact I thought it was an 18. Just shows the huge variation in sizes even in the same shop! :eek...

Hey Mrs, how are you getting on? Hope you're well. How's the wedding prep going? xx

Haha, I'm so used to us being the fat couple! Will be awesome when we both get to target :) Seriously doubt I'll be in the 16's next week, but it'll give me some motivation to be good (ish) in Ireland so I manage to get see a '16' when I get back. Fingers crossed eh x

Oooh I love a good fakeaway, hope you enjoyed it! Awesome news about the wedding dress! Can't you get the old one adjusted and taken in? I haven't got a clue when I'm going to get mine as I don't want to start looking until I'm feeling a lot happier with my figure. Thinking possibly next...

Evening ladies! Another day on plan under my belt. Today was extra special though because I went shopping and got some new clothes. It's amazing how much slimmer I look when I'm wearing the right sized clothes rather than big baggy ones! Went to Primark as I don't want to spend too much while...

Thanks guys, completely agree Ruby that the break has been wonderful for me. After 11 months of SW I really needed a rest and rather than it completely derailing me I've come back more positive than ever. Absolutely loving SW at the minute and with Chris following plan too its making it a lot...

Got a few days worth of posts to catch up with now, sorry I've been so MIA lately! Don't think I'll have time to reply to them all tonight before bed, but may as well make a start ... :) Scarlet - Haha, thanks hun and yes I won - woop! He still did great though and managed 3lbs, I'm finding it...

Thanks hun! oooh I forgot to tell you about Chris - he lost 3lbs :)

Holy moly - only gone and lost 5lbs this week! That means I've got my 7.5 stone award at last!! So 13.5lbs off in TWO WEEKS! Bloody mental that, I've been eating some lovely stuff and not starving at all so I'm completely amazed. I went to the docs today and have a UTI so being poorly might...

Whaaattt! I posted a massive update yesterday but it's completely vanished by the looks of it - gah!!! Haven't got time to reply properly again to everyone now but the general gist of things was thanks for being lovely and I'm starting to feel a bit better. I'm proud of myself as I've stayed on...

Thanks guys! Didn't have the best birthday if I'm honest. It started badly as my alarm didn't go off and I overlaid and missed the run. Then because I'd not arranged anything due to the fact I'd planned the run it was a bit boring. We went out for lunch at Cosmo and that's about it really...

Aww massive thanks for all the love guys, will reply to you all when I have more time but just updating food today and running off! Birthday tomorrow so I'm probably not going to be around, food will be off plan, but not gonna have a binge or anything, just involving cake and an off plan meal...

Aww no, and no sleep either - poor lass! Take it nice and easy lovely, think of yourself and get plenty of rest and help from those close to you. Feel better soon xxxx

Miss k - Thanks hun, we are both over the moon! I'm so happy he's doing it with me :) Scarlet - Yayy! So glad to be part of the loser gang again! I'm not so sure about the good loss next week as its my birthday and I never normally get 2 good weeks in a row, but even if I lose 1/2lb I'll still...

HOLY MOLY, I can't quite believe I'm typing this. In my first week since restarting at group I lost 8.5lbs!!! :D Absolutely blown away by it if I'm honest as by the end of 1 week on plan I'm back to my lowest ever weight and have lost all the gain I had from my July month off! That means I've...

Popping by to sub, well done on your fab progress so far, looking forward to following your journey! x

Thanks guys for all the good luck messages!! A little nervous now as I'm about to set off to WI. Hoping I can squeeze out a last minute wee! :D I've drunk loads of diet coke this afternoon at the pub so feeling a bit nervous about whether that will affect WI. Sure I'll be fine though, I'm under...

Fantastic loss hun, you sure showed that consultant! Bet you're feeling so chuffed! Just had a read through your diary and you seem so motivated and driven to do this, heres to another fab week for you! xx

Yay! Well done on a fabby loss and for breaking that stubborn 8 stone barrier again! Next stop 8.5 st, I've no doubt it'll be yours very soon xxx

Evening Kay! Sorry to hear your back is hurting you, and pesky TOTM too, grr. Get yourself a nice hot water bottle and lots of rest. Don't worry about SW, so glad you're taking August off to rest. I'm sure your C will understand, you're doing the right thing following Dr's orders xxx

Thanks Rae and Rochelle! I'm actually getting excited about wedding dress shopping when I think of where I could be weight wise over the next 6 months. Before I kinda dreaded that aspect but seeing that I can find dresses I like now makes me feel a lot more positive on how I'll be next year :)...

So sorry you've not been well, sending you lots of love and positive thoughts. Get well soon and take it easy xxx

Super quick update today as I'm about to go and watch Worlds Greatest Dad in honour of Robin Williams. I've never seen it before but it's Chris's favourite Robin Williams film. Was so sad when I heard the news about him this morning :( Anyway onto happier things. I've got another bang on plan...

Evening ladies! Had a fab day today at the zoo, saw lots of animals and my friend even got jumped on by a cheeky little monkey - haha! :D It was loads of fun and did lots of walking too. Food wise wasn't too bad, I made healthy choices where I could, but after having scrambled eggs and bacon on...

Hey hunny, just popping in to subscribe! I haven't had time to have a proper read through yet but have to say I saw your pics on the first page and have to say you have a fab fashion sense and look absolutely stunning! :) Hope you're having a lovely weekend and hopefully I'll get a minute...

Hey hunny Just popping in to subscribe! Haven't had time to have a proper read yet but I'm glad you've found a new group. I've just rejoined one too and I've got to say I really missed the support and think I need to be at group permanently to keep me on track. Hope you're doing good hun n I'll...

Glad its not just me with the unphotogenic SW chips! haha Oooh I see you have a new diary too, off to sub! xx

I've just PMed you back hun and only now seen your update here. Like Cloudy says you are a complete inspiration, so please don't be down on yourself. Like all of us you are human and not some Slimming World robot, enjoy the yummy treats and remember you're a world away from where you used to be...

Hey guys! Thanks for all the fab replies, gonna try and get back to everyone but haven't got long before I'm off to watch a movie so gotta keep it fairly snappy! Some fab suggestions with the SW chips, I did pre boil them but not for long enough I think. Will definitely give the microwaving...

Hey hun just stopping by to see how you're doing! Bloody brilliantly by the looks of it - 4.5lbs off, less than a stone to target and feeling loads better about yourself, how amazing! Your food looks great and you seem so focussed, well done! Hope you're having a great weekend xxx

Popping in to sub, good luck with your journey. I've rejoined a new group too this week and started with a fresh book, feels nice to have a new start and embrace Slimming World again, hope you're having the same experience xxx

Hey lovely! Just having a big catch up. What a rollercoaster of a week! Glad you're feeling a lot happier now, hope you've enjoyed your week off and are having a fab time with your sis. Don't worry about any gain, you've shown time and time again you can get back on plan like a trooper. Looking...

Thanks guys! Day 2 on plan is still going well, but boy can't I wait until star week is over to feel less bloated and blah in general. Having said that this is the first month I've tried those meth-anomic acid tablets that Scarlet recommended me to get from the docs, and I've got to say they...

Hey hun, just having a catch up! Grr @ STS, that's so annoying after those red days. I'm sure you'll be back losing again in no time though, you've been doing great since ya got back from your trip. Maybe try clamping down on the free food a little and measuring syns a bit more? Its easy to miss...

Day 1 is going well so far, but trust * week to come to town this morning - gah! Hoping it'll lead to an even better loss on the scales next week though, I knew I was feeling bloated yesterday! I'm in a great mood today as I got the approval through for my student bursary and got my payment...

Thanks guys! Well it was actually better than I expected, +8.5lbs - but considering I'm weighing at 7pm in the evening instead of first thing before food, the real gain is probably closer to 4-5lbs, which I'm okay with. Back up to 18st 2.5lbs now, determined I'll be in the 17's for next week and...

Hey hun, just wanted to say thanks for your well wishes on my diary! You've done great so far and its nice to meet a fellow Thursday weigher too! Good luck tonight :) xxx

EEEK - T-minus 2 hours until weigh in! I know its going to be BAD and very bad now as I'm full of pre-* week bloat too! Not gonna worry about the starting weight though, the main thing is that I can finally draw a line under the naughtiest month of the whole year for me. Yep I'll have gained and...

Hey guys, Thanks for all your lovely replies, will try and get back to you all individually! Just sent a reply to your PM Kay :) Anyway I'm soooo excited about Thursday and joining my new group! :D Can't wait to get back into a fab SW routine again! This weekend away was pretty naughty and...

Thanks hun and good luck with weight watchers too! I just got kinda exhausted with SW and maybe I wasn't using my syns well enough and experimenting enough with new foods. Either way I'm back now and can't blummin' wait to crack on with things :) I want to be a loser again!

OMG!!!! Just popped in to see how you are doing and WOW, I'm soooo frikkin proud of you! What a superstar! Healthy BMI and all those awards too, you must feel amazing! *big hugs* I've missed you so much and been struggling these last few weeks, I'm back now though and rejoining group to help...

Heyy guys! Thought it was time I posted again after getting a lovely message on FB from Sophie this morning to check that I'm okay. Truth is I'm struggling, though I guess that is pretty obvious. I've had some off plan days and some on plan days but I feel like I've lost a lot of my mojo with...

Arghhh I fail at posting! I'm sorry guys for being so crap! Yesterday I stuck to plan but ended up on 17 syns for the day after having a cheeky ice lolly in the sun, haha! Todays food looks like this though: Day 1 (again!) - Thur 24th July - EE Breakfast - Nectarine and chewy d - hexb Lunch -...

Thanks guys! Loving all your support and encouragement. Really wanting to get back into the 'zone' now and get fully back on track with exercise and SW. Feeling a lot better now, sleep has been rubbish though lately thanks to this heatwave! Back at work tomorrow (today was booked off as holiday)...

Hey guys, Still in recovery mode but 90% back to normal now. Been getting pretty depressed at being stuck in the house all the time! Diet wise haven't been doign great as toast and biscuits have been all I've been able to keep down for the most part! Normal SW resumed today and I've gotta say...

Afternoon guys, Finally found out what the problem is with my stomach. I was up half the night the the runs, cramps and vomiting - went to docs this morning and I've got gastroenteritis, lovely! :rolleyes: Still feeling super crappy at the minute but it should pass within a few days.

Hey guys! Quick update today - stomach is still really off it from this weekends naughtiness - cramps, bloatedness etc. I've come to the conclusion feeling ill for a few days after being bad just isn't worth it. Anyway another on plan day today, a very cheesy green day with chicken as my hexb...

*big hugs* So sorry to hear you might need another op. I feel so bad for you, must be so hard to get on with your life when you don't know what's going to be coming up next. You're doing absolutely amazing with your weight loss, okay so you might not be able to achieve your dreams this year, but...

Hey vonny, great to hear you've been back at work. Glad its gone well for you hunny, i'm sure you'll settle back into the routine again in no time. Bet it'll be nice for you to go back to your shop tomorrow and see how much everyone has been missing you. Good luck for your hospital appointment xxx

Hey hunny, Glad you're back on track and things seem to be going well for you again. Must be horrible going through all those problems with the dog and your home move too, stress just isn't good for dieting! Hopefully now you're all nice and settled in your new place things will get a bit easier...

Welcome home hun!! Just had a big catch up and read through your mega post, what an amazing adventure! Had a face palm moment when I misread about you seeing some 'slow lorrys' in the jungle... :o Had to have a google, they must be so cute to see in person! Out of all the places you went I loved...

WOW what a weekend!! Had some more good news on Saturday morning as I found out I've passed my probation at work and got my permanent contract. The rest of the weekend involved a boozy BBQ, day trip to Whitby and muchos syns and fun! That'll be my last splurge until our anniversary in August...

WOOOHOOOOOO!!! OMG OMG OMG you absolute super star!!! I'm over the moon for you Kay, what a result!! Bet you were sooo happy. 5 stone award too and less than a stone to go until you make your goal. Oh, not to mention the fact you're in the TENS now!! :O :O Absolutely delighted for you hunny...

Heyyyyy guys!! Only a quick stop off to post yesterdays food and let you know I PASSED MY EXAM, GOT A FIRST AND I'M OFF TO UNIIII!!! WOOOHOOOOO!! I'm absolutely over the moon right now!! Off out for a meal tonight to celebrate, it won't be syn free but its not every day you get into uni is it...

3mercer - Hi and welcome, thanks for the lovely comments :) I love the new dress, its so nice to have something that fits again and doesn't make me feel like a bag lady! Ron - Hey up hun, thanks hun. How are you getting on? I definitely feel like I'm getting more toned up. Over these last 2...

Morning guys, Just seen the salad challenge thread, the ladies have had such great results this week so really pleased for them. Woke up this morning raring to go and hit the gym - had another 25 minute run and did some cycling and rowing too. Chris is off for the rest of the day so we're going...

Thanks hun! I can't see myself ever being a twig, haha, but I do wonder what I'll look like at goal. I'm hoping that because I do tend to look slimmer than I weigh that I'll be a nice size at 12 stone and won't have to reduce my target by too much. Really though it'll go on clothes size, would...

Hey vonny! Well done on your 4lbs, you must be feeling on cloud 9 :) xxx

I hate this plateauing lark! So frustrating when we are working so hard, but I guess sometimes it's just got to be like this for our bodies to adjust to all we've lost so far. I'm sure if we keep up the exercise and healthy eating it'll be over with soon and we'll see those losses again. Just...

Just wanted to wish everyone loads of luck for tomorrow. I'm sure you'll have some amazing results xxx

Thanks guys, like Rae said I've just gotta keep chipping away at it. I tend to have these slow patches every so often where its a bit of a struggle for a few weeks, but then on the plus side I also have times where I come out with big losses when I don't expect it. Going to be introducing...

Hi Daz I lost a pound today but gained a pound last week and realised I didn't update the spreadsheet for that - OOPS! So I guess if you put me down as a STS please it'll work out? Sorry for being a pain! xx

1lb off this week please Daz. I wont be weighing in next week so if you can put it down as a holiday I'd be much obliged, ta! Well done everyone for the fab losses so far xxx

Thanks guys, 1lb off this week, which I'm pleased with as it gets off last weeks gain and gets me back in the century club again. Considering all the exercise I've done over this past fortnight I'm a bit gutted it averages out at a STS but I expected exercise to slow my losses at first (plus I...

Hey guys, Hope you're having a good weekend! Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday, I've been on plan but decided to go back to normal SW and attempt the salad challenge at a later date when I can do a complete week. This is what food and exercise looked like yesterday Day 1 - Friday 4th...

Aww Von thank you so much, I honestly feel like I've let you all down and I feel so bad! I'm not sure whether I'd be best restarting the challenge next week or something, I'm going to stick at it for now but I might have a word with Kay tomorrow and figure out what's best to do. It's not really...

*slinks into thread with tail between legs* :cry: Its always horrible slinking back onto Mini's after a bad day. I genuinely feel disappointed in myself and like I've let the salad challenge girlies down :( I met up with an old work friend and Chris this afternoon for lunch. We arranged Pizza...

Completely agree with you both about the trousers, some place must do them surely?! There are so many women with bigger bottoms and smaller waists, I'm going to have a google later and see what I can find. Fun but action packed day ahead of me today - work 8-1, then driving over to my parents...

Chris came home with a soup maker the other week so I'm all prepared! He does some amazing soups too, got a veggie one on the go for tomorrow. Can I check that tomorrow I can do an EE day and have wm bread as my carbs/hexb? Xx

Food was yummy thanks Hun. Loving this challenge, it's do much more up my street than the soup one. Having said that I'm having soup and side salad for lunch tomorrow, lol Everyone's food looks amazing! I'm drooling practically reading this thread! Xx

Damn you poo fairy... 12 hours too late!! Lol *apologises for tmi*

I gained a pound, boo!! It'll be off with more by next week though, I'm determined! X

Loving your attitude von! I've also been thinking about Christmas and I'm seriously gunning for my 10 stone award too. Imagine how amazing that will be! I'm sure we can both do it, 7lbs a month for me so need to seriously get focused now xx

Glad it's not just me! All this water is going straight through me, sorry for tmi x

My lovely lunch today - egg salad. Don't worry Kay, I even syned the sweetcorn ;) Hope everyone is having a great day. I'm really enjoying this challenge so far. Salads are one of my fave meals so I'm loving the fact I've got an excuse to eat even more of them! xxx

Thanks for all the support guys, I've accepted it now and am feeling positive about the next week. I know it can't be a 'real' gain if that makes sense, so I'm even more confident I can kick some ass this week on the salad challenge and come out with a great loss at the end of it. No point in...

Hey up Kay, how are you doing? Day 1 is finally here - loving the salad challenge so far! Had fruit salad and yoghurt for breakfast, egg salad for lunch and got those fish sensations and med veg side salad for tea. Yummy yummy yummy! 3 glasses of water down so far too and done a 5km walk this...

Hey hun, I'd like to sign up please. Hoping to lose 9lbs this month to get me into the stone below with a bit of luck! Thanks Texty and Daz for once again putting all the time and effort into these challenges, muchly appreciated xx

1lb on this week Daz x

GRRRR!!! I was so annoyed by the scales this morning +1lb - WTF?!!:mad: I really don't get it, I was 100% for 7 days out of 8 and did lots of exercise too. Okay, so I had one off plan meal that put me at maintenance cals for the day on Friday, but it just doesn't make sense. This is exactly why...

I am, can't wait to get started now! :) xx

I know sooo annoying. They measured me on the treadmill, did gait analysis and everything so can't believe I came away with worse shoes than I started with! Ah well, they said give them a try and I can swap them if I need to, I know exactly which pair I'm picking as an alternative too.

Hey vonny, how are you doing? Hope you managed some sleep eventually. Its horrible being awake half the night, grr xx

I've already planned tomorrows menu so let me know what you think - Breakfast - Liberte yoghurt with fruit - 1 syn Lunch - Morrisons salad bar - lettuce, cucumber, beetroot, grated carrot, tomatoes, kidney beans, feta cheese (hexa), olives (1 syn) - 1 syn Snack - Grapes Tea - Mediterranean...

Morning lovelies! Had a lovely long lie in and woke up feeling well rested. Its the day before weigh in so I'm trying to be super good today to maximise any loss on the scales. That said the PF has been pretty absent for the last 3 days so I really need her to pay me a visit now!! :rolleyes...

Thanks for the great ideas Kay, those Birds eye fish inspirations look gorgeous, definitely going to have a look for them in the shops tomorrow. You've put so much hard work into this challenge and it's not even started yet. Hope we manage to all do you proud. I'm really looking forward to...

Don't worry hun I can't get back to the shop until Thursday (as Chris paid on is card so have to go with him), but I've still got my old ones I can wear. Hopefully resting my feet tomorrow will help the blisters so I'll be fine for Monday, but if worst comes to worst I can always go for a swim...

Thanks Hun, hope you are too! I'm a bit grumpy at the minute as went for a run in my new running shoes and they've pretty much killed my feet. Could only do 15 mins and I was in agony! Now got huge blisters n need to take them back to the shop to exchange, grr!! Ah well, on a brighter note...

Thanks Hun! Gonna have a proper look through tonight and write my shopping list! I'm weigh in this Monday and so I've got a weeks worth of results I'll weigh in next Monday too xx

Wohoo!! Well done Kay for all your hard work. It looks great and I can't wait to start. I'm definitely going to be going for gold and trying the turbo plan. A few questions I thought of - 1. Do cereal bars (hexb ones) like chewy delight bars count as carbs for the challenge? 2. Can we...

Thanks guys, will reply properly tomorrow! Quicky update today - off plan meal out was yummy - its so nice to enjoy a treat! feeling re-energsed from my meal 'off' and ready for a couple of low syn red days now before WI. I finally signed up for the Colour Run today which felt good :) Can't...

Hey Hun! At least the multi gym is arrived now. Good luck with the nagging, hopefully he'll get it sorted for ya over the weekend. Bet you just want to get cracking though now. That's what I feel like with my new running shoes, it's half ten at night yet I want to rip em out of the box and go...

Well today didn't go as planned, food was great but gym didn't happen. In the end I rested my head for 5 minutes this afternoon and work up 2 hours later - oopsy! :p Ah well, feel nice and well rested now. Cinema didn't happen either tonight (who do I bother making plans! :rolleyes:) but Chris...

Morning ladies! Woke up this morning and for once I actually feel slimmer. Never normally feel like this but today my stomach just seems so much smaller, always a nice feeling to have when I'm starting the day! :) As I'm going out for the pub meal tomorrow my aim this afternoon is to burn as...

Glad your meeting went well hun and you've got an extra week off :) Hopefully you can relax a bit more now and try and enjoy the time off you've got left xxx

Aww no way, poor you :( hope you feel better today and can manage to get some shut eye later! xxx

Just back from another run (C25k Week 3, day 2) and man I'm shattered!! I keep upping my pace on the treadmill each time and it's really pushed me to the limit today. I got my first sub 15 minute mile time though - average pace today was 14 mins 53s a mile - which is amazing for me. When I...

Well done on the loss, fingers crossed you get your award next week :)

Thanks Hun! The first stone I lost myself over the space of 6 months, but all the rest is all thanks to Slimming World :)

Morning lovelies, woke up this morning feeling tired yet content. Gotta say I'm loving this summer routine for finishing work for 1 and then having the rest of the day for myself. Now I've had a few weeks of chilling I need to start working down my to do list, which involves lots of boring...

Wow, you're up bright and early! Hope you managed to sleep. Morning Hun xx

You should try the plant nanny app/game. I heard about it through Von and Kay and its pretty good. I'm meant to have about 4 litres a day so I have no idea how you manage to get through 5. My little plant is nearly always wilting at the end of the day and I'm someone who's known for drinking a...

Yes thanks to whoever it was! Looks like we all got some :) Night night Kay xxx

Yep I definitely agree with ya. Think it'll be a lot less confusing for people looking for your challenge when you're the original poster too! ;) Looking forward to seeing the revised version. Take it easy though hun and don't rush or put too much pressure on yourself to get it all done. Can't...

Well I'm glad I went to the docs so hopefully I can get things sorted now. I've been given a progesterone pill to take and the acid tablets Scarlet mentioned previously, they are meant to help with the inflammation and the pill will hopefully make my periods lighter too. A possible side effect...

Omggg at the docs n I fit in the chairs with arms!!! World first, I used to think they were tiny! Anyway just waiting to go in now, glad it's a woman gp X

Mmmm why did I think you were working late for some reason? Silly me! Enjoy your evening xxxx

Wow, 10-12's sound amaaaazzingg!! Bet it still feels like madness when you see the sizes you can fit into now! Hoping that'll be me in time for the wedding next summer, dread to think how much I'll spend on clothes though. All my life I've bought clothes thinking I'll slim out of them, whereas...

Well done on the 2lbs hun, must feel great to no longer be obese, yay! :) Sounds like you're absolutely worn out lately, poor thing. Don't wear yourself out too much at the gym. Mind you it might give you a bit more energy, I always come out feeling like Rocky! :D Aww man, I could kill for...

Good luck for group tonight, I'm sure you'll get loads of help and support. It's hard getting back on plan after a break. I had a week 'off' after my exam and the first few days back on plan were hell, never felt as munchy or had such bad cravings before. 10 days later though and I'm loving SW...

Hey hunny, Hope you're having a good day. Sending you good vibes for the interview tomorrow, I'm sure it'll go well. xxxx

Yay! Looking forward to it so much. Just checked but you've not updated it yet, I'm intrigued now as to what the turbo challenge involves! :) I'm sure it'll be fab and I absolutely love my salads anyway, especially with the lovely weather we've been having. Will be nice to try some new...

Heyy ladies! Von - Morning lovely, hope you're well! Ruby - Ooh can't wait to get my hand on the discounts, wonder if when get them as a student too! Hopefully! Clareel - Yeah I'm applying for the student loan too. It's crazy how many different things we have to opt in for - bursary, grant...

Yeah I'm quite lucky that they are letting me change my hours to work Sunday and a couple of evenings. It'd be hard to survive on just the bursary, especially with all the wedding stuff we need to pay for this year! Can't wait to get my bike now, proper looking forward to it. Will take me a...

Thanks Hun! The only problem I have with trying them on is that I've got 13 months till the wedding and another 5.5st to shift. I bet it'd look awful now as I have big calves and arms still, but hopefully if I stay on track I'll be at target by then. It's just annoying as I'm not sure what I'll...

Hey hun, how ya getting on? Sorry i'm just getting back to ya, you know what its like sometimes, not enough hours in the day! Sounds like we've had similar experiences in clubs and what not. It's just a horrible experience going out when you're bigger, I've had countless times where I've just...

Not exercising today is driving me mad, leg is feeling loads better and I'm itching to get active again. Promised Chris I'd rest it today though, he doesn't want me pulling it again if its not properly rested. I can see his point but I've got this running bug bad now and just want to get on that...

WOW, I can't imagine what its like cycling in London, hats off to you. The few times I've been the crowds and traffic were so much it was hard enough to walk around, let alone cycle. Sheffield is quite hilly, but apart from that seems pretty good for cyclists. My route to uni wouldn't be too bad...

I'm counting on it missy! :) xxx

Oh Niamh just had a big catch up and I'm so sorry you've been sick and in hospital. Hope you're feeling a lot better now. Chris's Dad has MS too and its a horrible illness. Glad you're feeling loads more positive and back at group. I'm sure it'll help you get that gain off asap. Glad to hear...

Hey hun, food looks lovely today. I'm sure you'll have maintained anyway this week, regardless of not being able to make WI. Your holiday has come around so quick, have you got all new clothes sorted yet? xx

Hey Rev, just catching up and wanted to say a massive well done. You're nearly at target now - yay!

Hey Bubbly one, just having a big catch up through your diary! Well done with the brill loss this week, looks like cc is going well for you. How are you finding it? Sounds like you've been doing loads of walking too, 9 miles is fantastic, bet your legs ached the next day! xxxx

Well done on the loss hun, 10lbs in 3 weeks is absolutely fantastic! You must be feeling great :) xxx

Heyy fellow centurian, haha! Sorry your sleeping has been crap lately. Is it because of the pain or have you just got into a bad sleep cycle? I always end up awake half the night when I have time off work, I'm naturally an evening person anyway so my body clock just gets all out of synch. So...

Lovely to see you back posting again, sorry about the gain but sounds like it was worth it for such a fab week off! You two look so cute together :)xxx

Loving such a positive post! Sounds like you're in a great place mentally at the minute and ready to kick some serious Slimming World butt! Can I join you on the salad challenge on the 30th? I keep meaning to give it a go and it'd be great to do it alongside you! I've no doubt you can get 7lbs...

Morning guys! What a gorgeous sunny day. Leg is feeling a lot better this morning (about 90%) but I'm making myself give it one more day of rest before getting back on the treadmill. It's killing me though as I just want to get back into the running now. Will give me something to look forward...

hey hun just popping in to wish you well. Haven't had time for a proper catch up today on your (or anyone's) diary and now I've got to dash off, but looking forward to reading through tomorrow. Hope you're feeling well and positive, loving the bouncy bunny! :) xxxx

Thanks guys! A massive date for me today as I finally got to my 100lb total weight loss - that's 7st 2lbs gone now in total! Of course a new pic is in order to mark the occasion... :)

Thanks hun, I totally agree, it's crazy how we all carry out weights differently. I'm only in 16's in tops and some dresses though, still 18's for skirts and 20 for trousers atm. Just felt amazing when that 16 fit! :)

Thanks guys! I really couldn't have done it without your support, you've all been completely brilliant and I can't thank you enough - big love! :grouphugg: Kay - *big hugs and happy dance* Thanks hun! When you posted that 7 stone sticker I felt like I was going to let you down today, really...

Wooohooo! 100lbs down and I'm finally in this group! Nice to meet ya all. 8.5lbs to go to the 16's, bring it on! xxx

FINALLY did it! 6lbs off this week so into the 17's, see you guys over there! x

Thanks lovely ladies, I still can't quite process it!! Daft really as it's not like it happened overnight or I didn't work hard for it, just never in a million years did I expect that I'd get to century club today!! :eek: Makes me feel a lot better about my monthly progress, until this week I'd...

6lb off this week for me please Daz! Last week was 0lbs so I forgot to update - sowwy!

Finally got off the ground with my weight loss this month - 6lbs down this week!! I'm feeling a tad emotional today as it means I've finally got to the 100lb mark with my weight loss! Can't stop smiling! :) Still got another 2lbs to aim for over the next week, determined to do my best to meet...

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! I LOST 6LBS THIS WEEK - MY BIGGEST WEIGHT LOSS EVER!!! SO THAT MEANS I'VE LOST EXACTLY 100LBS AND GOT MY 7 STONE AWARD TOO!! BURST INTO TEARS AT THE GYM, CAN'T QUITE BELIEVE IT.. I'VE LOST ALL THIS!! Sorry about the caps ladies, but as you can tell I'm over...

Exactly! You didn't shy away and instead faced it and accepted it - that's great! Proud of you Hun, it's hard accepting a gain like that and plodding along, I know you'll lose this week! :) xx

I'm so happy for you Kay. Just think at half a stone a month you could be at target in time for the autumn, how amazing would that be! :) Glad you're able to sit up a little better now and your sis will be able to go home fairly soon. Bet you can't wait to start cooking again and getting back...

Hey hun, how are you getting on? xxx

May as well update my food as there's no way I'm going off plan today with WI looming! 11 days on plan now, I love how that number keeps going up! :) Not having a treat night or anything tomorrow, but next Friday I'm going out for a meal with Chris so will just stay low syn for the rest of the...

Soon as we went out it came over cloudy! Typical :rolleyes: Was nice to get out though and my Subway salad was yummy. Thanks for crossing your fingers. If I'm not in the 17's tomorrow I'll be throwing a right strop so I hope for everyone's sake I've lost something, lol. I've worked really hard...

Just leaving the house now but saw your post von/Kay. Plant nanny looks great so far :) As for weigh in Kay well done! Amazing under the circumstances! Mine is tomorrow morning, eek!! Xx

Well work is done and I'm free for the day! Decided to give cinema a miss today while weather is so nice and go tomorrow instead. So soon as Chris gets home in 20 mins or so we're heading off to the park for a Subway picnic and walk. Will be nice to get out and about in this glorious weather...

Thanks hun, work seemed to drag today, but now I'm off until Tuesday morning so can't complain :) As for the film I don't think it fully did the book justice because the book was so amazing, I felt absolutely devastated after I read it and I don't think a 2 hour film can go into enough depth to...

Aww Von I'm so sorry to hear about your gain. I'm in agreement that there has to be some serious water retention going on though. Hopefully you'll get a monster loss next week, I wouldn't be surprised if you regain your 8 stone award by then! xxx

Good luck for this mornings weigh in Hun. Hope you do better than you expect, but if not it's a fresh week and a new start for you xxx

Thanks Rae! Will be nice to see it improving, might aim for a 5k once a week or something and work to improve on it :) -- Oh man I ache today! Definitely need to get drinking loads of water for my tired muscles. I bet I'm retaining water like crazy too so need to drink for England if I'm to...

Thanks Hun! Aww I loved Paper Towns too :) and Abundance of Katherine's, john Green is awesome!

Aww vonny sorry to hear you've been struggling today. Hope you feel better soon. If you need to then have a blow out n draw a line, but please if you do decide to do that then don't feel awful after. If you have a treat then enjoy it and move on. I'm sure you'll get back to your lowest weight by...

Pah, less of that - 32 isn't old! Life begins at 30 as they say, or is that 40?! Well done on the maintaining, I think that's gotta be the hardest part of the process, learning how to not gain when you relax around food a bit more. It's great you've got that down now and the main thing is you...

Thanks hun, I'm going to sign up on pay day (a week today), really looking forward to it, should give me something to aim towards! :)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! :D I just finished my first EVER 5k!! Yep it was on the treadmill and compared to seasoned runners it was a pretty poor time (49 mins 19s) but to say it was my last run of week TWO C24k I'm absolutely delighted! I just felt so good after the C25K podcast that...

Yay birthday buddies!!! :) How have you been getting on Hun? Xx

Good luck for tomorrow, bet you can't wait to see him/her xx

Grr the cramps are the worst! Hope they aren't too bad for you Hun. Xx

Hey Hun popping in to subscribe! Good luck with ww, I know loads of people who love the plan so I'm sure you'll do great. Fab results so far too! Can't wait to see how you get on, I know what it's like to start a very long journey and it can be so daunting, take each day as it comes and you'll...

Missing you Kay! Hope you're getting lots of rest n feeling a little better. Big love xxx

Aww thanks for that Hun. You know what I'm going to do it. Like you say it'll be a great way to celebrate my progress so far and I'll have just completed c25k too. What better way to celebrate my 29th! Ooh and yay to us August babies! :)

Wow you are on fire with the body magic!! Well done vonny, especially when it's star week and you must be playing crappy. You go girl! Xx

Jemima - Thanks hunny! :o Colleen - Hey and welcome to minis! Thanks for your kind words. You're in the right place to get all the help and support you need to get on track and lose the weight. First of all don't beat yourself up about it, life happens sometimes, the main thing is you don't...

Home from work now and just tucked in to lunch while watching last nights Big Brother. Must remember not to buy anything with 'spicy' in the label from now on as 9 times out of 10 it's too hot for me! So only finished half of my spicy chicken noodle salad as my mouth was burning, but tucked into...

Missing you Stevie, I know I don't comment much but I love reading your diary and seeing your yummy food on *********. Come back soon x

Haha!!! I thought it sounded a funny flavour combo but it got me intrigued! I swear you live on a different planet, this is the weather here... Boo!
