Can definitely tell that my weight loss mojo is back, had our staff party last night and yes there was drink involved but this morning i've woken up weighed and measured my a and b choices. Have a look at the menu before you go because then you can prepare yourself for all the choices and you...

So I've been AWOL for a good few weeks and to be honest it's because I just couldn't face "this". At the weekend I had a bit of a heart to heart with the other half about how this diet isn't working because of me! I'm buying in the food and just not following so as of Sunday I've been back on...

I've been really up and down with ny weight loss since starting but yesterday I kind of had a heart to heart with myself and marked today as a new start. Having last nights dinner but have removed the pastry as it was too high in syns, usually I would have guessed the syns. Also I went to town...

I know what you mean because it can easily happen, I think it's thinking about what you really want.

How's everyone doing? Weekend was awful we had guests down and it was three days written off. Though since Monday I've been on track, hopefully it won't be too bad on the scales on Friday.

How's everyone doing? I lost half a pound this week, sigh. Though instead of going oh sod it I've kept on going, I think whats hindering it is those out of my hand moments but im going to carry on plodding on! By the way I dont know if any of you are on ********* but if you search slimming world...

Janie don't give up. Write a list of why you want this, look at it whenever you think oh blow this. Keep going.

Only put a pound on which is good, because it's time of the month as well! I hope everyone else is doing well.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I'm not going to lie I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning for weigh in I haven't had the best week and allowed a Thursday fall off carry on into the weekend. Though whatever the damage I'll keep on going.

Lost half a pound this week which I'm proud of because I weighed late and had a bit of a naughty Saturday night. It keeps me on trck for my 2lb a week!

Better to pull it back and not do anything at all! I read something the other day and it rang true: If you dropped your phone would you repeatedly stamp on it or would you pick it up? So why would you keep eating bad things if you have one bad day on a diet. So well done for pulling it back and...

So I've been quiet this week because I've been staying away from home and the scales that I used put 2lb on but i re-weighed on my own scales and it said a 3.5lb loss which is brilliant and I'll keep to my scales because I used them originally. I feel that I'm getting better at making right...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, the weather is awful down south today. I reweighed myself when I got back home and I've lost 3.5lb which I'm really chuffed with. I'm going to have a super weekend on plan. I'm not expecting a massive loss on Monday because I weighed late but even if I...

Yeah I think the idea is so you have more of a balance. I tend to add more veg wherever possible. Wow well done on the 7lb loss.

Also what do people have for dinner? I need a bit of inspiration.

Well according to my mums scales I've put on? Though I'm going to reway on mine when I go home in a few days as I hope it's wrong! Slow cookers are amazing and a real boon though I accidentally add too much water and wonder why it's so liquidy. I'm staying at my mum and dads whilst the oh...

Well done on the huge weight loss! My weigh in is tomorrow morning. The others are right set achievable goals!

Keep strong and have the chili. Why is it as soon as you change your eating habits you suddenly fixate on things?

Oh good luck! I always find this part of the day tricky where I start to get hungry waiting for the OH get back. Also third day in and I've found my sugar levels are a bit all over the place but phew i'm thinking about the end goal. I'm from Southampton how about you?

I feel your pain mine exercises a lot though. I want to lose between 1.5 to 2 stones it's more of a dress size thing though.

Hey I'm starting again and would also like someone to buddy up with as i'm not going to group and my partner doesn't follow slimming world and it can be very hard watching him eat copious amounts of crisps and chocolate!

So I've done Slimming world on and off for years and I've lost the weight and then put it all back on and a little bit more! I started again yesterday after much putting off! I'm not going to group just because last time I felt I weighed and left because of being busy at work so I'm going on my...

It's lovely to have you back. It's amazing how changr and emotions can affect us.

I've been awol for a couple of weeks, poorly and then when I went back to school we had ofsted which has meant not attending group for 3 weeks because I have parents evening tomorrow night. Though I'm determined to lose as much as possible before we go on holiday at easter. Has anyone else found...

Jess go for it! Oh I hate the weekends because I have no routine and become a bottomless pit. Though I haven't had any syns yet might have a rice crispie square soon.

Hey I know this is over stepping the mark but try adding more fruit and veg to the diet, helps with constipation. Also try changing your b choices a few times a Week as that might help too.

Yeah not too bad. Lots of sf, trying to do a bit of damage control for the weekend because it's a friends birthday anf I know it won't end well- drink wise.

Wow well done!

Fair play to you pippa! Keep going every one.

Thank you. I'm usually a slow loser and I'm always glad for a loss as at least it's going in the right direction!

Haven't written ob here for a while. Everything is ok I've lost a whopping 8.5lb in January which I'm really proud of. I would love a loss of 2 pounds next week.

Tata I've seen that one, it's really good. Well the pity party and kick up the backside worked lost a pound this week which means I've lost 8.5 lb in a month. Well pleased.

Eugh I'm so hacked off with myself! I had two really good weeks and I went to my mums for a week and old habits started to creep in. So I thought I'll go ans face the scales however on the day I slipped and did my back in which meant no group and off work for three days. So things have been...

Trijan just ignore them, they're just jealous! Well done to you x

Well done fran!

Christie that's mental! Stayed the same this week, I'm a bit gutted as i followed perfectly but I've just had star week and I rarely loose the following week but it's a little disheartening. Positive outlook though- its not a gain!

Things went a little bit of track last night and spent 20syns on chocolate so I ended up having 30 syns yesterday however I think I needed it because I've got not cravings today it might also have something to do with getting a decent amount of sleep for one night. It was quite sweet yesterday...

You're doing really well, I know what you mean about binging- I find i do it when I'm tired or when I get stressed. During our Image therapy this week the consultant showed us 2 pounds of fat, I sat there thinking about how big it was and how horrible it looked and I've tried to keep that in...

OOO star I enjoyed looking four our house- it's an excuse to look around other peoples houses. Went round to the OH parents last night and the milk tray came out, I wont lie and say that I didn't have any, I did but I no longer have those cravings- I think part of it may have been TOTM but also...

I'd completely forgot about hot choc and from frais! Thank you, love this stuff and i've got a pot of it in the fridge. Thank you ladies.

Hi I just wondered how people coped with TOTM cravings? I allow myself choc but I just want more, is it a case of just get on with it? I just wondered what you lot do to battle those cravings?

I was hoping that you the cravings would go but for some reason they haven't but I'm not giving in, every day I don't give in is another day I'm closer to target and fitting back into clothes.

still trying to maintain an air of positivity but it is difficult when you're tired and mother nature has taken hold of you however i'm definitely in the right frame of mind because instead of going for the chocolate i've been reaching for free foods. Not going to lie though it's been hard today...

Whoop whoop well done!

Well done thats amazing x

Well done both of you what a fabulous start!

Wow talk about will power well done you! It's the positive mind frame which helps I think.

Thank you everyone. Good luck jess for tonight, welcome janet x

Yeah it is, I rejoined again but I feel im in a completely different mindset.

Good god I lost 7.5 lb in group tonight, couldn't believe it! Such a positive starting point. Hope everyone has had a brilliant day.

Good god I lost 7.5 lb in group tonight, couldn't believe it! Such a positive starting point.

I made a real effort today to eat breakfast at school today and definitely made a difference. I said no to home made bread at school too. Took loads of food with me but ate the extras when I got home because I needed it then . I'll keep taking too much because I can have it if I need to. I'm...

Wow look at you with all that veg and fruit. I really want sweet things atm because I'm about to come on, I don't seem to fill up on it atm. Well done you though.

It's the hours that get me. Got to school this morning at about 7.15 and then left at 5. Your food diary looks good though!

Yeah I count the fruit too otherwise you're eating for the sake of ut, who wants a side salad with everything! ?

Today seems to be one of those days where I can't eat enough. It's all free or super free though so can't complain and I've finished the day on 10.5 syns. Back at work tomorrow which I'm looking forward to however I find the stafg room hard because of the biscuits and so on but I will be strong...

You look like you're doing really well! Yeah chop the veg up really finely I have to do that with mushrooms! It's really important to make sure you have that 1/3 super free. I've just rejoined again so it will be nice to follow someone else too.

See I'm the opposite today I'm hungry all the time and god knows why because I'm eating enough?! Random question but i made Christmas cake this year and in the book it gives you a value for a slice I just wondered how big a slice!? I think I might have to go with the weight value but somehow I...

I'm giving sam all the left over choc, not going to lie it's jarf to watch him eat it.

I thought I would upload some before pics, sorry about the quality.

Wow I did it! I went and only had my curry which meant that I ended the day on 14.5 syns! I know this doesn't sound like a massive deal for a lot of people but it is for me. As I usually go with a plan and it goes straight out the Window once I get to the dinner table!

That's terrible I can't believe the nerve of some people. Hope you're ok. Had a look at those corsets, wow!

Oh well done him! It can be difficult to to keep the motivation all the time. It's good that you two are doing it together, it's just me in my house though my oh eats the sw dinner but he will then eat ice cream and sweets. Sometimes that can be hard. Glad it's going well for you though.

Aw jess your girls are gorgeous! So went for indian takeaway round the inlaws tonight and instead of doing my usual, bit of everyones and a nann. I only had mine - lamb rogan josh, 6.5 syns, poppadom- 4 syns and boiled rice. I'm super proud because usually I go with great ideas but never keep...

Hey! I joined slimming world on the same day as you but have to change to a Tuesday weigh in due to work. I know what you mean about joining over and over hut this year will be your year! Good luck and it will be interesting reading your sw diary.

I find that nights are my worst part of the day however it went really well, i had some kinder chocobons which are only 1.5 syns each and some jelly babies- only 1 syn too. It really helped to stave the sweet cravings! Tonights going to be a bit of a mare because we are going to the OH parents...

Similar, choc and alcohol sometimes cheese too.

Could you phone the person who runs it sp you can make sure you have the right place ?

First day back on plan for AGES! It's been really good and I've enjoyed it. Overcame a big challenge today went tp the cinema and took a bag of snack a jacks rather than buying a share bag of dorritos for one! Feeling positive but it's only day one.

I don't go back till Monday, bleugh to early mornings! Oh well done, what sorts of things do you spend your syns on?

Aw sounds like a hetic day just think of all that extra body magic! I've got pasta tonight I'm going to fill it with veg. Lucky you getting the oh to cook for you x

Oh that sounds lovely! I wouldn't have a clue what to do, I'll keep to the potted plants! Have you still got your allotment? Yeah back to slimming world I just find it an easy diet to follow. Are you still going to group?

I try to drink 2 litres a day but it can be difficult when at work. Why not try taking one of those evian bottles around with you because it's more visual then.

Good luck! The corsets sound very intriguing might have to look those bad boys up x

Took my measurements today wow who knew it was possible to have larger hips than I did, oh well. Told the oh about the weight gain and bless him he said I didn't feel very heavy as he picked me up- they never grow up!

Haha thabk you. Did you change jobs? How is everything with you? X

Hey just subscribing. It's nice to find a diary whwre everyone is either new or starting again! I went back to group rather than waiting until Tuesday because otherwise I'd be mistaken for a beached whale! It's strange how a lot of us all work with children, I'm a reception teacher. Heres to...

Wow jess you look like a completely different person! So I went back to slimming world this morning and I'm the heaviest I've ever been, couldn't believe it, I knew it was coming because things werw getting very tight. On wards and upwards I say.

Well I wasn't quite anticipating that! I'm the heaviest I have ever been however onwards and lighter. I've got a food shop coming tonight but I'm having a whole day on plan my only worry is that I joined in the morning and I'm only able to go to the evening weigh ins but it should be ok.

It's more about getting toned legs now x

Hey just wondered how things were, whay happened with your job in the end? X

Ok so before Christmas I made some rubbish attsmpt at getting back on plan because as I always think yep I can do this on my own...... yep we've all thought this. So its the 2nd of January tomorrow and I'm going back to group facing those scales because I know I've put on all the weight and...

Thank you. I stayed the same this week which is a bit gutting but it's coming to that time of year where food is at it's worse. Fingers crossed its a better weight loss next week.

So it all started sooo well and then fizzled out with a huge fizz. However it's started with vengeance on Saturday and it's going well today I struggled with christmas shopping. Trying to find something sw friendly in town is massively difficult however instead of diving into a fast food place I...

I haven't been here in ages but lets update you: When I started this I had several goals but in particular to be able to fit in a dress for a wedding and not to feel awful, well I achieved this! I also went on holiday and actually felt somewhat confident when walking about in a swim suit. I...

Oh wow well done you! You've done amazingly well you must be so proud.

Unfortunately I lost the battle but instead of going completely off the rails I just had that. I'm going to lower my syns for a few days because I've been at the top end for the past few days. Off to pick some elderflower later so that will get the body magic pumping.

Thank you. How is your new job going? Another good day I do however want chocolate. I bought some chocolate coated pretzles which probably isn't the best idea but they are currently at the back of a dark cupboard!

It's amazing the muscles we never knew about. Oh glasto amazing! Very jealous are you doing any other festivals because I remember you saying you go around to a lot of different ones. How's the weight loss going?

So I abandoned the thread for a while because of work and just life really. Still keeping with the sw and doing well. I'm 11 stone now the lightest I've been in a long time! I'm going on holiday in a four weeks and a wedding in 7 and in that time I'd like to loose another 7lb. I reckon it's...

Why are you saying sorry? We are all here to help! Shame on your c! Could you go on the sw web site and use the bit there about the plan?

Typical half a pound from that half stone! Two pounds off though and I'm really happy with that.

Whoop brilliant news.

Oh ch that's great news!

Hey half a pound is still half a pound off in the right direction! Sucks about your thumb but hopefully it will mend soon! You can do your pound off, good choices where possible.

Ideally I want to be at target ive got 1 stone 6 to go. So it's doable its just remembering why I want this and having things in place for triggers such as tiredness. Weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed for my 2.5 loss.

Thanks. Yesterday was a bit of a disaster we found a weatherspoons but it didn't have all the normal menu only burgers! So annoying we were starving by that point. I chose one that was just chicken breast to be honest I did have a few of the chips and the bread but instead of thinking I've...

Woohoo lost two pounds last night really into it now. Didn't come home and binge either! It's nice to feel in control rather than a constant battle. Still exercising I think that helps a lot especially because I'm on this week and still had a decent loss! I'm going to London tomorrow which...

I was already exercising before I joined so my c bumped me straight to gold and I said when I felt comfortable I would go to plat because I dont feel im quite there yet. I think every c is different.

Its so pretty. Wear it every day!

Well done you! How great is that?

Yeah I am going back to group really helped, it's slow but its coming off. It's having that support which helps. It's got some really good stuff in it, i know this sounds really stupid but can you eat tofu?

Hi Mandle, yeah i'm fine I just haven't bothered writing anything. I've had a good week i've increased my body magic over the last couple of weeks, my OH bought some rollers for the bike so i've been cycling in the hallway and hopefully i'll cover 44 miles out on the road this week. Bit of a...

Wow you're doing amazingly well you should be so proud! That Dhal sounds lovely, we're lucky we have a lot of asian food shops here so spices tend to be a lot cheaper compared to the big supermarkerts and also you can get so much! Have you tried the new asian cookbook? they've got some great...

Agh why did I blow out before wi? I was in control ok just but I was in control. I could kick myself and I'm dreading weigh in tonight. Sorry for the self pity.

Oh I am well and truly peed off at myself. I used all my syns Saturday night but felt ok. I even got through sunday. Yesterday started off so well until I got home and ate a whole easter egg and then went out for tea. I could kick myself. Well today is a new day, I've got shopping coming. I'm...

Wow fran that was lucky. Well I've used all my syns for the week essentially. Using my b choice for oil this afternoon for roasties and no pudding but hey how. I'll take melon woth me.

Ok so one hurdle jumped and cleared, went out last night and kept to my 20 syn rule. It was good to be honest and my body can't really cope with all the rubbish anymore. Tonight it's the oh brothers birthday meal so I'm going to save all my 15 syns to spend on that. Having a good weekend so far.

Finished on 9 syns today which is good. Tomorrow I'm going to make some lentil and bacon soup.

I wonder why they have changed them? It seems pointless. Read through your sw book might give you a bit of a shove ! )

Muzza you can do it, your next meal is a sw meal! Flippen heck it's cold outside. oh is on the lash tonight. Snuggle up in bed I think for me. Went out for lunch had a jacket potato whoop ha. Hope everyone is ok and keeping warm.

So I lost half a pound this week and I must admit I'm really gutted! I know half a pound is a loss but i've been really good all week, eugh who knows. I'm not going to let it get me down though and just going to carry on and keep my chin up I have got a couple of things going on this week. 1...

Half a pound off past night. I'm not going to lie I'm well annoyed by it because I had a 100% week oh well I will not let this beat me.

A pound off is still a pound off! Easter eggs arw too tempting atm.

I've had a really good weekend! This doesn't usually happen because I often get bored and eat but this weekend I've been in control. 4 days till half term I'm worn out and ready for it. Going to the oh parents tomorrow for takeaway hopefully they won't mind me being a pain and getting chinese...

Hey yeah having a really good week thanks. How have you been?

Keep safe everyone in the snow. That blanket is lovely and I love the chair - massive pooh bear fan! Anyone got anything nice planned for the weekend?

So the pill back didn't go quite to plan, I put 1.5 on. Since Wednesday though I've been really good, even said no to squidgy chocolate roll and took my own meringue nests! I haven't got anything in my way to ruin it this week well apart from myself.

We haven't had snow just a ton of rain it is flippen cold though.

Oh dear 1.5 on after the weekend. I'm moving on from it I'm aiming high this week and I'm going to try and get 4 off. I think it's the cold that makes us really hungry it's stupid that and all the chocolate that's in the shop at the moment.

Well done you. You'll be in those 14s next week.

Sorry I didn't mean to put a downer on it. Well done on meal portions. Yeah it was good not so good on the food front.

Just driving I tend to get them if I have to drive for a long time. Been on plan today and I've found it really easy to get back on it.

Good l. Thats what I love about sw because it's about not depriving yourself. X

Use them. They're there for you to use. You're cracking on this time well done you x

I would go today and just face it. I'm glad you had a great time did you get to the festival? X

I bet you were pleased. Now I'm going to sound like a meanie now but sometimes our scales differ from the scales at sw and if it doesn't show on them don't beat yourself up. How was your weekend?

Leading up to the weekend I was really good had only 7 syns a day was having lots of free food however we had to go to Chester so I had no control. Well thats a lie actually because I did take mug shota, plums and bananas but surprise surprise they didn't get touched. I'm paying for the over...

Hey hope you had a lovely time x

Came back from a weekend away and just feel rough now. Even though I've only been doing sw properly for two weeks its amazing how quickly your body changes to not wanting crap. Oh well onwards and upwards. On another note I've done my back in so at least I won't be moving towards the fridge!

I have no idea how it feels to go through what you're going through at the moment so I'm sending massive hugs and this is the place to rant and rave. X

Well done, it will come off. I'm away all weekend and can't see it being sw friendly. I have bought food bur I've left my card at home.

It will happen. Yeah I've done them I really like them but some people have said that they find them quite heavy but give it a go.

Well done you. I bet you feel a million times better.

Ch do you go to group? It might be worth sitting in in the new member talk or writing down all the reasons why your doing this. I know exactly how you feel about the bread I have porridge in the morning with lots of frozen fruit made up with water and milk. It keeps me going for longer. Good...

Go and get some options hot chocolate and low fat natural yog and then add 3 teaspoons and mix it together. It does hit a spot. Don't let one night bring you down.

Good luck star and well done on everyone and there losses. How rude is that fran? The things people say.

Lost 1.5 lb tonight was proud of that because I've craved rubbish all week because of totm. I haven't had it this bad for ages. I need to do a bit of planning for the weekend because we are away and I don't want it to go mental.

Good luck star. What do you do? Thanks everyone.

Yeah weighed in tonight 1.5 off so 4.5 in total. Chuffed with that. How are you finding the plan?

Well done you! I had pizza : / weigh in though so it's good for the rest of the week now.

Lots of free foods chb! Whoop 1.5 lb off tonight another 2.5 lb and then I'll get my half stone award.

Had a good shopping trip. I bought some jeggings from Dorothy perkins they fit beautifully. I'm going to buy some new when I'm closer to target. I've got weigh in in about an hour fingers crossed I'm not feeling confident because I'm on.

Well done star. Sounds really exciting tata. Weigh in this afternoon, fingers crossed because ive been over my syns a couple of times this week. I wonder if it's because of the cold that everyone is hungry all the time?

I bulk cook and then freeze it so it's easier to grab and go. It's easy enough for me because there is only two of us but it does help.

Well done you, the evening weigh in obviously didn't effect your loss!

Hey tell me about partners eating for 3 my boyfriend does a physical job and can eat whatever he likes and doesn't put on an ounce I however look at food and put on. Slimming world will come to you, I rejoined 2 weeks ago and even though I've done it before my head is forever in my book just to...

I hope all you Monday weighers do well! How was everyone's weekend? I constantly felt hungry even though I ate for England. I was too lazy to wash my hair last night so I used some dry shampoo this morning. I look like ive got white hair it doesn't matter how much I brush it through.

Wow I found this weekend really hard, all I wanted to do was eat and I ate lots of free food and used all my syns but it never felt enough even when I busied myself I was still hungry. Stupid totm. I'm hoping today I fill up and don't have that empty feeling, does anyone else get that. I'm...

Wow you look completely different.

Really struggling tonight, I'm just hungry I've had lots to drink and lots of free and super free but I can't fill the gap. I've had 7 syns today but I'm going to keep it at that because we don't have much in that is low in syns. I blame the totm. Bleugh just feeling really rubbish tonight...

I just keep on eating. Star I know what you mean I wouldn't mind pizza I think im going to treat myself to chinese on Saturday.

Oh my god I'm so hungry. Nothing is touching the sides totm grrr

Well done danni! I can't wait for a shopping spree

Weigh in is in the afternoon, busied myself with a bit of gardening and just had fruit and soup before weigh in. So I had my hair cut, my hair hasnt been this short since I was a child- I'm 24. Had my first weigh in at class tonight and I lost 3lb my target is 3lb for next week too but I'd be...

Woohoo first weigh in at group and I lost 3 pounds! I keep reading my books just to make sure I'm doing it properly. Finding it a bit harf to get my head round the super free and speed food but I think that's me over thinking it.

A long bob well to my shoulders. I haven't been short in years, this is short to me ! ) Weigh in day today I'm a bit nervous and I have no idea what to eat during the day, maybe light stuff?

I've found this week quite good. Yesterday we were at the oh parents for lunch and then my parents for tea and it was a syn heavy day even though I had small portions. It's my first weigh in at class tomorrow I would love a couple of pounds off or any sort of loss would be great. I've decided...

How about making a menu plan? Try to mix it up a bit. It's so easy to get stuck In a rut.

Fair enough. It's tough when the weight isn't shifting.

Have you thought about doing a food diary and being completely honest. Also are you getting your third free? To be honest I found this when I did it from home but had to bite the bullet and go back to group last week.

Maybe try having different types of food. I find I tend to have similar dinners so I have to make an effort to have something different. Like the other people say, use all your syns this week. Look at photos from wheb you began to now x

Hi Paul, I wondered how everything was going. I hope your ok x

So I've had 3 days of being back on plan, I feel like a real newbie because I'm forever looking in my book just to make sure I'm doing things right. The weekend tends to be a bit difficult because when I get bored I tend to eat but hopefully I'll be ok. Going to someone's 60th later I'm going to...

That's amazing well done you x

Thank you, I think I'm going to be asking lots of questions.

I've just rejoined. I just wondered anything with an s or an ss doesn't make it super free?

Went back to group last night. My c was brilliant, didn't judge that I was coming back and just made me feel welcomed. I bought a 12 week countdown because hopefully it will keep me on track! I've been looking at my new books all day and found that yoghurts which I thought were free...

Have loads of fun! Keep safe and enjoy it x

I realise that this is a tad cheeky but how much would it be to join sw as well as a 12 week countdown? I hope that makes sense.

So I have been a bit quiet the last few days (sarky whoop I expect! ). I've decided to take the plunge and go back to class, I feel it's a bit tail between your legs but hey I know they don't really judge and lets face it I'm money in their pocket. I had a massive off day today I think mainly...

Well done for only putting on half a pound! You must be excited for the holiday! I feel your pain about the small waist and big bum. It can be a right pain at times, dresses all the way.

Wow you're doing amazingly well. Well done for staying to group, I'm going back to group on Tuesday. You have come so far, you should be so proud of yourself. X

The party was great the head and food the next day not so great. New week though, 3 days to pull it all back. How have you been! You've had some great weight loss recently

Went out with work friends last night haf salad but forgot to ask for the dressing to be put on the side so I'll call it 5 syns and I never had any garlic bread or nachos. Today having a bit of a lazy day, had egg and beans on toast which was yum then the last of the leek and potato soup and...

I love gherkins too it's a great thing to snack on, wrapped in ham too. I've been trying to get hold of beetroot too but can only find slices not whole beetroot.

Went out and bought myself a big jar of pickled onions! Im having a bit of an off night we are having home made curry which works out at about 4 syns each but also rhubarb crumble and a bottle of wine. To make up for this im on a 5 syns a day week however Saturday we are going to a mock ball at...

Fantastic news! Well done you.

Sounds horrible. We have to live though maybe make a conscious effort to swap some of it for fruit remember you've already come so far don't let one blip ruin it for you. I hope your ok though.

Made coke ham last night wasn't too sure, ended up adding soy sauce and 5 spice because it had a strange vinegar taste to it!? Lost 2.5lb this week it's slowly coming off since the big derailment.

I lost 2.5lb this week. I'm back where I was before I derailed. I find towards the end of the week the hatdest because I start to feel that I can treat myself!? I need to start exercising again this week I'm just too lazy! Next week I want to loose a pound. A pound a week is good enough for me.

I finished them. When I go shopping tonight im getting more. I love pickled veg.

My afternoon snack so I don't eat biscuits anf rubbish.

Had a good day yesterday, went slightly over my 10 syns for the day I think I was 11.5 in the end. We went for a massive walk- It seems that I also hate walking up hills as much as I do cycling up them. We had burger and chips for tea I forgot to add the bacon. Not sure about today just had...

Look at you rolling along! I bet you're chuffed to bits.

Had a good day yesterday I ended up on about 8 syns. Me and the oh are both off today, this can sometimes be a bit of a hindrance but like I say one day at a time. We're off for a big walk in the cold which will be nice. We're having bacon burgers and chips tonight so I'm not too sure what to...

Oh well done you. You're doing amazingly well x

How's your week been?

What are keystones?

Ok so here I am on plan and focused to the sw gods. I'm probably going to be around 15 syns today but that's ok and it's better then it's been recently! One day at a time at the moment.

Right so I had an early sneaky weigh in this morning and I put on a pound and a half this is rubbish. I've made a deal with myself if I cant keep on track for the next two weeks then I'm pulling this arse back to an sw class. In another persons diary which I read a lot they've struggled to see...

Thank you paul, how are you getting on? I've had a rank taste in my mouth for most of the day. Also found out that cream crackers are only 1.5 syn each.

Cream crackers 1.5 syns this is brilliant stuff. Cheease cake looks lovely.

Well I've had a pretty decent weekend. I was good and didn't opt for a maccy d last night but had a jacket potato. It took forever though 2 hours and it still wasn't cooked properly so it basically ended up as a bowl of baked beans. We've got stir fry tonight, something like half a syn which...

Grr the other half and sister got a maccy d and I had jacket potato which im still blimming waiting to cook.

Youve only had 14 syns so I wouldn't beat yourself up. Have you spoken to your oh? It might be worth explaining how you feel and how much it is getting to you? If you find it hard maybe write it down? One small blip isnt enough to derail your positive attitude.

Had a good day went out to harvester. Had rice instead of chips and only had a 3 syn sauce. Had jambalaya for tea only 2.5 syns and lots of super speed. I'm out drinking tomorrow night I'm not going to lie I'm going to have a good time, everything with diet coke!

You're probably just bloated. Keep going though and like you say maybe less chocolate.

Good luck for tonight. Sorry but I did laugh at the rabi jabs.

I put a pound on this week which is a miracle with what I ate. However I need to get back in control because this weight is going to start slowly creeping back on. I dont really want to go to class because of the money but I'm using that as my last resort. I thought it might be a good idea to...

Ha how dear you be tardy ! ) glad to see you coming to terms with some things.

Put on a pound. Ugh I need a kick up the back side it seems like I use little things as an excuse to not follow the plan properly.

How did the interview go. Hope you have a cracking week! Don't let the fact that you didn't weigh in be used as an excuse to go off the rails.

2 pound is amazing. The other person is right step away and go and try something that you want to fit into trust me it will help sortnthe craving.

Oh that food sounds lovely. Hopefully you'll be a bit more active this week. Stupid snow has meant that I haven't got out in the bike.

I met my boyfriend online anf we've been together for nearly 3 years. It's a good way to go on dates but like raven said you can chat to some right weirdos.

It's just the whole I don't want to disappoint my family but they're ok and I know that they'll support me no matter what. Yesterday and today have been good. I forgot to get something out for dinner so nearly thought pizza and chips it is but I found some frozen stir fry. Wasn't half bad, was...

How did your evening go? Everyone loves a chow mein.

Thanks let's face it thr weight won't come off without any hard work from me. So let me give a little bit of info. I qualified as a teacher last November after 4 years of harc work, however I had to repeat my final placement as I was put with a terrible teacher who decided to make my life hell...

I've been a dieter missing in action. Well I've had a bit of a crap week. Lots of eating out and not choosing right. I've had a bit of a kick up the arse though. Last night we were going out and I managed to get into a lot of old clothes and they were a little tight still. So I thought you've...

Look at you doing really well. It's coming off in the right direction!

Have you thought about looking at the car boot or on gum tree for your exercise bike? I've never thought of the sugar like that but that's amazing. Keep strong.

That's a really good idea, write down why you want to binge before you do it.

Whoop I stayed the same this week. This week I've got a Chinese buffet and a night out but I'm taking it all in my stride.

Yay well done you!

Had another good day today though im not sure if it will be enough for damage control. Hey I'll stand on those scales tomorrow and face that number.

Oi mr! so you've had a binge we've all done it. How come you've stopped drinking water? Because of the cold? I drink a lot of hot water- strange I know but it keeps me going. Also do you keep a really honest food diary?

Well done for not beating yourself up! Could you maybe plan each day how you could spend your syns? I've never tried it but who knows.

Oh god that sounds lovely. Its going on the shopping list.

Stand on those scakes and be proud.

Oh you are well on it. Your going to get it. We're lucky that the snow is starting to melt here but I think that we are due some more tomorrow.

Thinking about it this binge is no where near as big as it would have been before. The last two days have been really good lots of super free and I've been doing green days which is great to have those healthy extras. I fitted into some size 12 trousers the other day they were a tad tight but...

I wonder if it's because we don't have those things we crave. A littke bit in your syns won't hurt. It's strange how sometimes we want to revert. As you know I've had a bit of a struggle lately but I rewrote why I wanted to lose weight and I found that I added to the list. Maybe give it a go...

Ha I just did something silly had two special k bars, got confused thought you could have two and then remembered once I'd finished eating the second one. Thank god for green days and having no other healthy extra b yet.

It's snowing here too. I only managed to get out yesterday and like you have to get to school tomorrow if it doesn't close.

Lisa I've been exactly the same this weekend. Move on from it and don't beat yourself up. Like you say today is a new day. Maybe pull your syns back and try and do some damage limitation.

Look at you being productive rather than turning to food, that's a real step forward. The hairy dieters has some great recipes in it hasn't it. The cottage pie is nice I keft the topping of mine. Try the jambalaya too it's lovely a tad spicy mind. Sorry about the hub just keep your head up and...

You're doing so well Paul. I think you're right to go by how you look in the mirror than off a chart. It's how you feel not what a chart tells you how to feel.

So much for getting back on it I failed miserably. I had a good breakfast, lunch and dinner it was the stuff in between. A quarter of a doughnut, two milk tray chocolates, a small piece of panetton, kit kat chunky and a packet of crisps. I wasn't even hungry. I've written down the reasons...

Been to the parents and they've got donuts and biccies. Eugh

Is anyone finding that they just want sweet and rubbish stuff because of the cold and snow?

You're doing really well. It's a journey and it's up to you how long it takes you. Don't beat yourself up it's one day at a time.

Hmmm so yesterday I was completely snowed in and on my tod. I cleaned and then watched far too much tv. We decided to have takeaway last night so I didn't get anything out - you can see where it's going. So we tried to move my car which went know where and thought meh lets walk it's not that...

Oh how awful. The reason why you lost so much is because you followed the plan. Theyre probably jealous and your far better then those two.

How can people be so rudw?

There's a thread about chinese in eating out. Really helpful.

You do wonder if people even ipen their book. I've beeb doing it on and off for years but I still look in my book. I can't stand the well ive put on a pound and cant understand why. It turns out they've had take a way and rubbish. Sends me to despair, I'd be a terrible consultant because I'd be...

Weve got loads of the stuff here. Oh went on his bicycle because his car is rubbish in the snow hopefully he will be able to get home ok. Tonniann think how far you have come you van definitely beat it.

Oh sounds lovely though I've never got on with anything other than quorn mince the taste is odd. We had chili it was lovely really filling too.

Feeling very full. I had a big qourn chili, Green day. We came home late as we were out late visiting friends I was really good and said no to crisps- I love crisps. I've definitely upped my liquids and I have no headache I'm doing lots of body magic going up the stairs to the toilet ! ). Also...

I have fromage frais with a options hot chocolate powder stirred into it, 2 syns but it does cure a sweet tooth urge. You're doing so well and you're so focused. Social stuff scares me but take it in your stride and just enjoy yourself.

Oh well done you. That's amazing.

Yeah I do. I ate the dorset ones but now they have syns. I find them good because you can bulk it out with fruit.

How about porridge with some of your hexa and water with frozen fruit and then add some sweetner. It keeps me going for a while.

Glad your having a good day. We're meant to be getting snow here tonight. Ive got veggie chili tonight I have to secretly add the quorn mince because the oh says it doesn't fill him. It's all in his head because when he doesn't know he doesn't say anything. Sneeky eh?!

I'm really glad that you're doing so well especially after the week you've had. Fingers crossed on the job front.

So I re weighed myself and it's a pound and a half off this week. I'm ik with it because it's coming off in the right direction. I'm going to up my water intake this week because I keep getting headaches and I think this is why.

I often make lentil and bacon but you could do it with lentils because it's got loads of veg in it or I make tuscan bean soup, pasta celery borlotti beans onions and stock. Simples

Ouch that doesn't sound good. Yeah I think so I think I'm going to up my water intake this week to help. I know this sounds odd but I haven't made a massive soup this week and I wonder if that's it. Hmmn

I saw the weather warning for basically England. Its meant to be snowing here o Friday. Well done for not delving to the chocolate, I wonder if its the bleak weather and cold weather that is making people turn to comfort food?
