How's the sickness bug now? Now that she has the diagnosis will that make it easier to get things out in place to support her? xx

How did your appointment go? Your food sounds lovely and Healthy. Childcare is ridiculous and doesn't make it worth going to work a lot of the time. Xx

That must be so distressing to watch. The situation with change in 1:1's must be really frustrating if change affects her so badly. I really hope you get some answers and progress from all of the meetings. I completely feel they dieting is the last thing on your mind at the moment I think I'd...

Wow, well done that's an amazing loss. Why has your week been draining? I really hope things are looking up for you as you certainly deserve some luck Xx

How are you getting on.are the girls on half term this week or are they back? X

Aw, it must be so stressful for you if she's not enjoying school. Has she told you why? I have a box of exante stuff left and I think I just need to throw it. It really affected my metabolism last time and although it's tempting to get some off fast i would rather take it slowly this time...

It sounds like you have got loads goin in at the moment so it's no wonder dieting is the last thing on your mind. There's some nasty bugs going around at the moment. I hope Hollie is feeling better today. Yesterday's food sounds lovely. Xx

Good news on the car. Its strange but good that you're still the same size. That makes sense that the newer weight is easier to shift. Your food looks lovely. Are you enjoying being back on plan? Xx

Oh, no is the car fixed now? That's not what you need when the weather is this bad. I know exactly how you feel about being back where you started. It's so disheartening! But we can do this and both be at target this year. We both have so much to look forward to and we will enjoy summer so...

You'll have that off in no time. Well done for facing the scales though. I always find that the hardest thing to do. Xx

Good luck for tomorrow. I really think you can get that 2 stone off now that holidays/Xmas is over. Xx

I always drink loads of water if I'm hungry and make really comforting sw meals. I also drink a very milky hot chocolate(2 syns) which usually sorts my cravings out.

I always use my healthy extra a and then syn some extra milk if I need more through out the day add some sweetener and then add whatever spices, vanilla etc I want to use.

Happy new year to you and poppy xx

Merry Christmas. I hope you and your family have a lovely time. Well done on any weight loss at this time of year. I'll be back in the new year, ready to be slimmer for the summer. Xx

Hi, I'm fine thanks but work is stressful and I've applied for a pronation. I doubt I'll get it but it's worth a shot. I think its the time of year as people are trying to get sorted for Xmas. How's the Xmas shopping going? How have the girls been hard work? I think I'll be heading back to class...

Oh, no. Are the dizzy spells frequent? Yay, to Evie walking. I imagine she's so proud of herself

Oh, no. How are you now? It's always so much more upsetting if you're holding a child. That's a really good price for the Rome wedding but a New York winter wedding would be absolutely amazing. Eek, tough decisions. X

The kids kindles are great. Mia has a kindle and an iPad mini and she loves her kindle. It was definitely a good buy. I can't wait to put the tree up and decorate the house. Rome would be amazing. That's not price either considering what a wedding costs in this country. Good news on the...

Sophia wants a wooden barbie house and Mia wants a new bike. Then I think I'll just get them bits and pieces. We have a huge family so they always end up with loads of toys that never get played with. That's a really good saving on those toys. X

I really like that bed. Ours is a leather one and I agree the slats aren't great. I'm having the same dilemma with Xmas as this year it feels as I'm buying toys just because it's Xmas rather than they really want/need anything. X

An internet shopping day sounds fun. What's the bed like? I meant to have a look at what Argos had on offer for the girls. What did you buy? Will you go back to your regular ww group? X

£4 a ride soon adds up! Wow, Maisie did really well going on that ride, I'm not sure I'd go it. Yesterday sounds like a good day and I'm sure the Indian hasn't done too much damage. A 2018 wedding would be lovely and give you time to plan what you want. X

-2lbs please Kay. Finally feeling back on track. Well done to everyone x

We got married in December and I love our anniversary as it's such a nice time of year. Your day sound lovely and I hope you enjoy the fireworks and fair. Mia is petrified of fireworks so we won't be doing anything which is a shame as I love bonfire night. X

I found getting married abroad really easy and stressfree. The only downside is people you want to be there may not come. X

We used a Revolut card when we were there so we got a pretty good exchange rate. I've never used a prepaid card before but it was great and I could use the hotel wifi to top up from our bank if we were running low. Haha, to not being able to eat in chez remey, all of the food for the girls came...

We ate in cafe Mickey too. The girls loved it and thankfully it was covered by our meal vouchers. I couldn't believe how expensive food would have been if we'd had to pay. Our favourite meal was chez remey. Fab theming and fab food. We got married in the Dominican Republic and it was amazing...

We didn't find Disney too busy thankfully. When we arrived on the Monday the queues were only about 20 minutes. We managed to do loads of rides, it gradually got busier as the week went on but we didn't wait longer than 45 minutes for anything. Apparently, Halloween is the busiest time of the...

That sounds like such a lovely, romantic proposal. Are the girls excited? It sounds as if you've had an amazing holiday and the girls look like they have had a lot of fun x

5lbs on after a week at Disney :rolleyes:

Oh,wow. Congratulations, that's amazing news xx

Your house looks amazing and I'm so happy hat you are settled in. I really wish you and poppy many years of creating lovely memories. x

Wow, you've had an eventful week. I hope the trip away gives you exactly the boost and break you need. Have an amazing time x

I really hope they support her and you can come to a compromise which works. I'm really shocked they suggested what they did. Well done on your loss. X

Your food for day sounds good. thsnk goodness you have the receipt from Argos. I hope your meeting goes well today and things get sorted for Maisie x

Good luck with today. I hope it goes smoothly. I've enjoyed hearing all about your journey too xx

The girls want to go and watch the trolls movie but I wasn't sure. If you enjoyed it, I might take them. Is poppy excited about moving, now her bed is built and room painted? X

That's really annoying about the appointment. Have they given you another appointment? Fingers crossed they exchange Evie's present. Are you doing exante until Disney? X

The clothes you bought were lovely. I also love H&M especially for jumpers as it can work out much cheaper when buying loads. How cute does Evie look. She looks so happy with her presents. I'm glad she had a nice day and im sorry you felt let down by family. At the end of the day, it's their...

The rooms look lovely and it's great that you've been able to make stuff up already. It's so exciting. I hope today's going ok for you and you're managing to rest, it's awful that you ended up in hospital again. Hopefully, once you've moved everything will settle down for you. X

Your plan to get your parents a treat is a lovely idea. I hope the packing is going ok and you're not too stressed. X

I hope the supplier can help with the oven. I think your food looks really good. Did you manage to get everything you needed today? X

STS for me again this week. X

That is so cute and look how happy she looks. Yeah, I can't believe Disney is almost here and I wish I'd lost more weight too. Did you get the free meal plan when you booked? It's scaring me how little euros you get to the pound at the moment. X

Oh, no. Stop and take a break. Remember, you're still recovering from your accident. It's all so overwhelming but you will get there and in a few weeks all of this will be a distant memory. I'm glad you're dad was there to calm you down. X

I might have to look into it as at the moment we pay out broadband, line rental, Netflix and now tv (we can't get a signal for normal TV) so I could probably get a package cheaper than what we currently pay. Did they have any good offers on in smyths? I need to start thinking about Christmas as...

That's an amazing deal on the sky package. We really need to get a package but it seems like a waste as we don't watch much tv but for that price I might have to look into it again. I'm doing a next clothes shop this week for the girls and those leggings are something mine would love. I...

The house is looking lovely and I'm so excited for you to move into your forever home. I love all of the colours you've chosen and can't wait to see photos of the finished kitchen. X

I hope you enjoy your Indian and have a lovely evening with your friends. I hope your colleague makes a quick recovery. X

Well done on your shop. I hope you're not coming down with something. X

Well done on weigh day and yay, to the house being nearly ready. X

Well done for getting back on plan. Evie is adorable. X

Good luck for today. I hope it's going ok and your managing. X

Emilia had that coat a couple of years ago. It washed really well and lasted for 2 winters. Do you need much for Disney? Mine seem to need everything replacing for the winter! X

Sorry to hear about the house. You will find your dream home. There's so much stuff in next I want to buy the girls. X

The girls have always been used to long days. They did 7am-6pm at nursery on the 3 days they were there so this feels no different to them. I pick them up at 4 now, so evenings are nice as I get to do homework/bedtime reading. Emilia is in a class of 9 at the moment which is amazing. They don't...

Aww, what a cute photo. I love looking through old photos. X

It's stuff I want to keep but don't want on show. I really need to sort it and either throw it or put it in a cupboard. X

Yeah, the school is a 45 minute drive away from home. It works at the moment as we drive there for work but I feel bad they aren't really making friends near the new house. The school they are in at the moment is lovely as there's only 100 pupils for 6 year groups. They are getting a fab...

Wow, moving day will soon be here. If we ever move again I'm hiring packers as it was then it I hated the most. We still have 4 boxes left to unpack. We moved from a smallish house to a big one and managed to fill it with all of our stuff. Crazy! X

Sorry to hear about the house. Will you here for definite soon? I completely get the weight loss thing. Disney is motivating me but I keep looking at exante again! Would the girls be ok with moving schools? We need to move ours but I keep putting it off. X

Morning. I stayed the same yesterday. Good luck to everyone.x

Loving the bathroom and we have the same towel rail x

I really do hope you find out this week as then you'll be able to plan either way. Next have some lovely wooden beds with storage underneath. I wish I'd bought those for the girls as it would make their rooms so much tidyer. X

Your house is looking lovely. It looks like you're going to have so much storage too. How are you feels today? X

I'm pleased you're starting to feel more like your self again and good news about your mum. Things are looking up for you :) X

I agree, you've got a lot going on at the moment and it's hard to focus on dieting when your waiting for answers and trying to get back into the school routine whilst planning a holiday, birthdays etc. I spent the majority of the year not being able to focus 100% on food and it's only since my...

I'm really happy they signed you off as i was worried about you going back still feeling so poorly. Hopefully, you'll now be able to rest and get better without stress in about work. That's lovely of your friend x

The table and chair set is lovely and a bargain. The only downside is sticky fingers and cleaning but if you're anything like me you spend your life cleaning tables anyway. I can't believe it's nearly Evie's birthday! X

I hope the gp can give you some answers and I'm glad you've decided not to go into work. Let us know how you get on. X

Hope you're feeling better today. X

How are you feeling today? X

At least they are going to assess you all fairly which means you've got a good as chance as anybody. I'm not overly impressed with the next sale either. The girls need winter clothes so no doubt I'll be in next in a few weeks time. X

If that happens again, I'd go back to a&e as she shouldn't be in that much pain. Nobody in your team will hate you, they are all probably really concerned about you. X

It can take a long time(a couple of weeks) to feel back to normal. You know you're own body so if you feel like it's getting worse go back to the dr's. X

Ooh, what are dreamy bars? X

It is normal but if it doesn't get better or you're feeling worse go back to the hospital. Take care x

I'm glad your appointment was fine and at least you know that if you don't get this house you have options for new year. X

Don't rush back until you're ready. It sounds as if everybody is being really supportive and I'm glad you're managing to get some rest. X

This week will probably feel really long waiting to find out. The spade green houses look lovely and it's great that you would be in by December. X

Oh, my. I really hope you're feeling better now whether that is at home or from a hospital bed. Look after yourself and try and rest X

The house looks lovely. It's stressful but so worth it. You've done so well to get the deposit together so fast. I'm excited for you x

Your food sounds lovely and I'm glad you're feeling more relaxed about the diet this week. I can't wait to see pictures of. the house once you're in. X

Your shopping spree sounds amazing and I really like the curtains you have chosen. Sorry you didn't get much rest last night but it's hardly surprising with everything that's going on. I hope you're mom is better this morning and you manage to get some rest this afternoon X

The new houses sound amazing and fingers crossed you get the one you want. At least you have a back up plan though. Definitely go and see the plots as when we went to look around new builds one of the houses looked amazing on paper but when we actually looked it was far too small even though...

I'm glad social services are taking it seriously. Is it a 3 or 4 bed house you're viewing? I can't wait to hear all about it. X

I'm sorry things went wrong with your mom. Fingers crossed it all heals and she regains her sight. It must be really scary not being able to see. Your Indian looks lovely and great that it's done 2 days. I like your plan of trying to find your own way diet wise. It will take some of the...

Oh, no what a rubbish day. What went wrong with your mom? At least it's the weekend and you don't have work until Monday. Are you and poppy having a chill this evening? X

Ooh, I like cas's idea of pointing the sw meals. Best of both worlds. X

I hope they get to the bottom of why his carers haven't been going in properly. Stuff like that makes me really mad! I'm tempted to go back to group as I feel like I need that accountability of being weighed. X

I'm so sorry about your loss. I'm not going to say anything to try and make you feel better as I know how I'd be feeling. With the food you've been eating you definitely deserved a bigger loss. You haven't let anyone down. You've tried it and it hasn't worked. WW worked for you so if I were...

Well done it sounds as if you did a really good job. X

Food is looking lovely and you seem really happy this evening. 3 weeks without bread is great. How did the learning walk go? X

Well done for facing the scales and I don't think 10lbs is too bad at all. Those houses look lovely. You will find the home of your dreams x

You're food is looking lovely and I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you've managed to have a relaxing evening X

It will be so much easier once he oven is fixed. It's so hard cooking with out a full working kitchen. What's the house like in dartford? Good luck with weigh in tomorrow. x

I hope you're feeling better now. It may be worth a trip to the dr's if you have anymore hypo's or is it something you regularly have suffered with? Your food is looking fab and you definitely deserve a loss this week. X

I think anybody who has struggled with their weight will always have bad days and we just have to learn to manage it and not let it spiral. You have done really well to draw a line under it. 3 weeks will fly by but I get where you're coming from feeling like you want to give up. Once you're in...

There must be something in the air today as I'm exhausted too. Food is looking lovely and filling. X

Wow, that year has gone fast. We've all been there with the binges. Forget about it and move on. Do you know why, or was it just one of those oops moments? X

Well done for not ordering the kebab. Dinner looks lovely. Eek, 7 weigh ins until Disney! That means I've got 6! X

I love the tap. You'll have to post photos once it's in your lovely new bathroom. Well done on sticking to plan. You are really in the zone at the moment. X

Mias bedroom

The house is looking beautiful. The pink in Poppy's room is pretty similar to mias and its really cosy. As much as I love having a bath I wouldn't be able to justify ripping the wet room out either. X

Hi, Kay. Thank you for starting another challenge. I'm back on the sw wagon and my head is now in the place for a new challenge. I would like to lose 21lbs please and I weigh in on a Saturday. Holiday week 4 October please I hope you're well X

That's fantastic and you're fakeaway pizza looks far nicer than a dominos. You've had another fab food day. The weather has been awful here today but tomorrow's supposed to be nicer so I'm hoping we can get out. X

You don't moan and groan and we're all here to support each other. If life and dieting was easy there would be no need for forums such as this or slimming groups. X

I believe this too. When our buyers pulled out last year it meant we missed out on a house we were convinced was our dream home. Instead we found this house which is much nicer and bigger than the one we would have bought. X

I really hope you get the house as you definitely deserve it. I like the sound of your dinner, I'm really craving burgers at the moment. X

SP days are great for boosting your losses and are suitable for veggies but I'd stick with EE at the moment. X

Exactly, my friend didn't have much to lose and she only ever lost 0.5-1lb per week. She would get really frustrated but it all added up and she was at target in no time. X

It's so hard finding what works and what doesn't lead you to binge. I still can't eat bread as the heb allowance isn't enough for me. If the bars are helping you stick to plan carry on eating them. Xx

Slimming world say not to go below 5 syns per day so 10 sounds about right to me. Even though cereal bars are allowed, I find that I don't lose weight if I eat them. Your water intake is good too. I would persevere especially as you're enjoying it and see what happens. x

I've just had a look through your food and I honestly can't see anything wrong with it. Are you drinking enough water? X

It all sounds really annoying to be honest. We had a problem with our mortgage and the financial advisor managed to sort it out by moving figures around. It's sooooooo stressful but I'm sure it will work out for you. X

I'm planning on trying Aldi today too. Hopefully, we'll both save money. I didn't realise you had to go with the companies mortgage people. Have they given a reason as to why they want more deposit? X

I hope you're feeling better now. Evie looks really happy in that photo. I need to do a proper shop tomorrow as our fridge and freezer are empty. X

Well done on your loss. It all adds up and your enjoying how your eating. Nothing wrong jumps out at me from your meal plans but I'll go through and have a proper look for you tomorrow. reception teaching sounds like hard work! I'm not sure I'd be able to cope to be honest.

That house is beautiful and I love those windows. X

How are you feeling today? X

I hope you manage to get some rest and feel more like yourself tomorrow. Food looks good though. X

Exciting news about the house. Fingers crossed the last assessment goes well. I'm glad the home visit and school went well. I'm kind of glad that the holidays are over as I can get myself back into a routine. Your dinner sounds lovely. X

I'm sorry to hear about the health issue. Are you better now? You're food looks lovely. Are you looking forward to Monday and having all of the kids back? X

Poppy looks adorable and growing up fast. It's crazy how fast time goes. Your food is looking amazing and I am tempted to give sw another go now that I've had a break. Please don't be upset over your loss, you are doing amazing and a lot of people don't get that big loss the first week. Are...

It sounds like you're being super productive with sorting the house out. When was the last time you went to dlp? Your food sounds good and I'm sure you will see a loss if you manage to get to group. X

Your food is looking amazing and soooo healthy. It looks a lot of food but it's all very low cal stuff so is all allowed. Looking at your food i'm tempted to do the plan again. X

Good luck with your clear out. It was the thing I loved most about moving. I didn't think to sell it though so most went to the charity shops. Your food bill sounds good and £15 for Chinese is really cheap. X

You did really well this week. I'm awful at spending money. I buy lunch in m&s most days which costs around £6 per day plus my morning Costa at £2,50. eek that's over £40 per week! It's very exciting that you may be able to reserve your house soon. Are you taking the girls when you reserve? X

Wow, I think you need to come and do my shopping. That's an amazing amount t of food for little money. Good luck with sw, it is a great plan and I think you'll do fab. If you need any advice or help shout. X

I really hope the queues aren't horrendous in October but I have pre warned the girls. At least it won't be as hot if we do end up waiting around. Is there a waiting list for the houses or is it first come first served? Xx

Don't feel down, you look amazing. You've had a lot going on over the past few weeks so it might be all of that catching up with you. I think we all need a kick up the bum (in the nicest possible way of course) once the holidays are over. X

Yeah, it's a lighter grey. The room is big but dark so I'm hoping it will lighten it up a bit. We have petal stone for the living room from the same range as your colours. X

Oops posted the photo on your diary sorry.

The new house is going to look amazing and gre is totally my thing at the moment. Our dining room is now grey and I have a light grey for the living room. I'll post a pic on my diary as its vet similar to some of the colours you've chosen. X

I know the feeling about regretting booking Disney. I did too as I couldhave put the money towards a new bathroom which we desperately need but I keep thinking of all the wonderful memories we'll make. Well done on resisting pancakes. X

I like the sound of your carpets. It all sounds very exciting and I'd love to pick out a new kitchen exactly to my taste. Have a fun day and I hope you find what you want x

Oh, that cheesecake looks amazing. That loaf looks nice and I'll be interested to hear what it tastes like. The new kitchen looks lovely and I really like tha bathroom stuff. You both won't regret getting a dishwasher. It's my can't be without appliance. I know that makes me sound really lazy...

That government scheme is great and I have a few friends who have done it and have beautiful houses. Who's child do you have? I think most people struggle during the summer holidays. X

You'll be fine with the commute. My commute is 50mins and as long as I have everything ready the night before it's fine. I do have to have a list of meals I'm going to cook though as that makes life easier when you're late in from work. I love how you still have an decent relationship with...

The new houses location sounds amazing. We're currently at in laws who live by the coast and it's nice hearing seagulls flying around. You have done loads with poppy and shouldn't be worried in the slightest. It sounds like you have had a lovely summer break. I feel guilty that I haven't seen...

That house is lovely and having balcony doors is great. We have them in our bedroom and in hot weather it's fab. Ah, the age old budget and finding the right house. We had exactly the same issue but managed to find our dream house with a few compromises. We looked around so many and honestly...

Well done on your loss. New builds are lovely. Our last house was a new build and it was nice not having to do much to it. The new house has been extended but the original part of the house is over 100 years old. We've definitely noticed the difference as things need looking after more and the...

Good luck with your blood tests and I hope you're feeling better soon. X

Wow, I don't log on for a couple of days and miss loads of exciting news. I'm really pleased for you and poppy. A new house in time for Xmas will be lovely. I hope the hay fever has eased off for you. X

It looks like you had a great time at legoland. The hotel looked lovely and a much better option than spending a fortune in the legoland hotel. Yay, on getting the mortgage. Have you found a house that you want? I can't believe how much rental prices are. Our friends pay more rent on a 2 bed...

The Halloween party looks amazing. I'm gutted we won't be there for it. I think we'll be doing cafe Mickey too. Inventions would be a top up on your vouchers but I'm not sure how much. It's the character buffet in the Disneyland hotel. X

Lunch looks yummy and I like the sound of your day. I spent loads in dunelm yesterday. The children are all very cute. Have a lovely weekend. X

I was convinced by your experience and the photo of the pudding x

My friend gets that abroad too. She speaks both languages so she's ok. If I'm with my brother somewhere people think we're married as we're so different. He's also got one daughter with olive skin and another with very pale skin. I love how genetics works. X

I'm very jealous of your colour. My brother is a very similar skin tone, he inherited my moms Spanish colouring but I'm as pale as they come(thanks dad) although I do tan easily. X

I completely understand you finding it more difficult to diet in the holidays. For me, it's hard to diet when the weather is nice. I always do better during the winter. Good luck with applying for the new development. Have you been to look around any of the houses? £400 is a lot cheaper for...

You both look fab and I hope you have a lovely day. Please don't feel guilty about poppy, you have done loads with her and I promise that's what she'll remember. I think we put far too much pressure on ourselves as parents. X

The girls look like they are having great fun. I love those swivel chairs but ed wouldn't let me buy one booooo!

Those cupcakes are lovely and the orchid is beautiful. You definitely deserve it as you sound like a fab daughter. Do you have dates for our mums scans and tests? X

Your days sounds very productive and your food has been fab. The house move sounds as if it's going smoothly and you'll soon be enjoying your new home. Which hotels are you deciding between? X

I hope you're feeling better today. If the numbness continues it might be worth going to the dr's. How's your eye? Fingers crossed all went well for your mum. X

I like those units and they are fab for storage but I get why you'd find them distracting. It would annoy me if something was out of place whilst trying to watch the tv how the paperwork for the new house going? X

Those photos are beautiful. You look really happy and confident in all of them. Poppy is beautiful and seems like such a happy little girl. do you still have numbness? I really hope you manage to get some rest. Xx

I like the next unit, it's very similar to one we have in our breakfast room. Sophia has IKEA white gloss furniture in her bedroom. I like ikea but ed hates it. He always insists I choose exactly what I want, find the location in the store room and then we're in and out in 30 minutes. Men!

I hope you're having a rest this afternoon and that your eye is improving. Your roast dinner looks amazing. X

That is crazy hat it works out so much cheaper. It will be nice to see Paris too. Fingers crossed they get back to you about the wedding before the prices go up. Oh, no tho the oven! Is it fixable? X

How did weigh in go?

I'm so sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed her test results come back quickly and whatever is causing this will get better. We're all here for you. Xx

I'm glad you got home safely and had an amazing time. 5lbs on isn't too bad and most of that will be water weight so will be off within a few days. Go you on getting 2 loads of washing done. The one thing I hate about coming back from holiday is the piles of washing. Have a great day...

Ooh, how exciting about the house. Are the girls looking forward to it? If I lived closer you could have had all of our boxes, we have about 50! Im with you and have given up on the quick fix diets and will hopefully be content with slow losses. As long as it's coming off its good :)...

Enjoy Legoland, wow, the legoland hotel is a rip off. Well done on resisting the McDonald's. The pics of the girls are lovely and they are growing up far too fast. I love Greenwich, I spent many Sunday afternoons walking down from blackheath to enjoy Greenwich park. Xx

You've definitely chosen a lovely time to go. The bbq sounds lovely and it's nice poppy has made a friend. I still remember friends I made on holidays 20 years ago. I love all inclusive for how little you spend once there. The hotel sounds amazing, it seems Kiel somewhere we would enjoy. Xx

Exciting news about the house, I have my fingers crossed for you. I hope you're enjoying the summer holidays. October gives you plenty of time to lose weight at a nice pace. Xx

Wow, you look amazing and you look like you're having a fab time. It's so nice seeing you confident and enjoying life. xx

Hi, it sounds like it's been pretty eventful since I've been gone. I hope hollies ok now. My advice with moving would be, if you're not sure don't do it lol The past few months have been sooooooo stressful and it's taken us weeks to start to feel settled and this is a house and area I...

Hi, serena. I'm back on minis and looking forward to catching up. Your comparison pictures are amazing and really motivational x

Your roast looked amazing and I love those sausages as they are free on slimming world. Your work sounds very varied and enjoyable. It's nice that your school has its own pool too. Xx

Ooh, I love bagels too. Both girls love the bagel thins and I agree they are perfect for lunch boxes. Good luck for weigh in Xx

Hi Kay, thank you for your message on my diary. Could you put me down as holiday until the 25th please. I should be settled in the new house by then and back to group. Thanks for your support. X

Hi, sorry I've been awol. It sounds like you're having a really busy, stressful time at the moment. I hope it calms down a bit for you soon. I love those sandals, they are definitely a style I would choose. I hope hollies arm is better now Xx

Morning, sorry I've been awol but it looks as if you've been doing really well. A huge well done on being asked to teach for a week that's s huge achievement. X

Fantastic, well done. You must be feeling so much better now too. X

Hi Kay. I'm back on slimming world and have lost 3lbs this week. I hope you're feeling better X

Dinner sounds lovely and I think you're going to get a nice loss this week. I hope Evie's rash gets better. x

Your food sounds lovely and well done on the observation. I hate being observed so would be a nervous wreck. The girls love kinder eggs but I don't let them have them very often due to how much they cost. X

I love shopping at blue water and your lunch sounds like a sensible filling choice. If you're planning day trips out with the girls could that be your motivation? Thinking about the photos which will be taken and that you'll want to look good in them? That's one of my motivations, I don't...

I hope you had a lovely Sunday and enjoyed your lunch out. X

Wow, that's a lot of weight to have dropped. Hopefully, it's your body settling down after being ill. Sorry, your indoor picnic turned into you feeling poorly. I'm glad poopy was ok though. I hope you're feeling ok this morning. X

Brilliant news about the top. It really is true that nothing beats the feeling of wearing smaller sizes. Well done X

Your evening sounds lovely and I think it's really nice that you are able to have a good relationship with Poppy's father. It shows what a good job your doing with her. I now want dominos lol X

0.5lbs is a tiny gain and like you said you've faced it and can move on. Your food today looks good. I could just eat you dinner yum. I hope you're feeling better. X

I lost 0.5lbs this week Kay. I didn't have a great week so I'm happy with that. X

Well done on your losses. My second week weigh in was a loss of 0.5lbs! I was absolutely devastated but I have gotten over my sulk and realised that I had Saturday off plan and my loss was better than a gain. X

Your day at the zoo looked lovely and the girls look like they had a great time. I take my hat of to both of you for being able to work with children. I'm not sure I have the patience for them. Some days when I pick Sophia up from nursery, the noise and energy gives me a headache lol X

I haven't been receiving notifications again! I'm glad being back at work is going well. You sound a very motivated person and as somebody who manages people, you sound like a great person to work with. I hope you get a good response as that sounds like a really interesting project. X

You have done so well and must feel so different to how you felt in January. I love shopping when I'm slimmer as I know the clothes will look ok. It's more expensive though! Xx

You look amazing and tiny :) It looks like you've had a fun day. Xx

Wow, you look amazing. X

I am literally drooling! Those cookies sound amazing, thankfully Iceland is a 25 minute drive away from us lol Macaroni pies sound amazing, my girls would love those. Enjoy your treats. You definitely deserve too. X

Well done to Poppy. It shows you are doing an amazing job at bringing her up. It must feel very strange to be under your goal weight. I'm sure once your eating and drinking like normal you will put those couple of lbs on and feel more like yourself. Xx

I hope you have a lovely day. I hope the weather doesn't spoil your day. My parents have snow in the Midlands! X

Well done, that's a fab loss You are doing so well and have found a diet which suits you and your lifestyle. xx

Don't worry about being down, we all have those days/weeks and we're all here to support you. You're bound to have lost after being so poorly but the weight will go back on once you're better and eating properly again. You're completely doing the right things to fuel your body at the moment...

Yeah, that's fine. Haha, I'm rubbish at being ill too and I'm a very bad patient. X

Don't push yourself for Monday if you're still feeling ill. One of the best things to drink is full fat Coke! It's full of electrolytes which your body will be in need of. I know it's full of sugar and calories but for a quick boost its great. X

Yeah, the tiredness is normal and it will take a few days before you're feeling back to normal. You won't gain loads of weight as you're so conscious of your new lifestyle. At the moment though I honestly wouldn't worry about a couple of lbs as your body needs fuel to recover. (Sorry, nurse...

I'm glad you're feeling slightly better and the sleeping will be what your body needs to recover. It doesn't matter what you eat when you're ill the important thing is managing to keep it down. Fingers crossed this is the start of you getting better. X

I weighed in a day early yesterday and I lost 10lb's. I'm over the moon and it's Kickstarter my motivation again. X

Hi, your story sounds so similar to mine. I've tried sw again and failed so I'm back on exante. Good luck with it and you will soon start seeing the difference again. X

Can I join please. I've just had my week 1 weigh in and I'm 10lbs down :D You're all doin so well and very motivational.

I think you're around the same height as me and the last time I weighed 10.8 I felt amazing as I was a size10/12 and that's what I'd like to get back to but I have no idea if it's a maintainable weight as I have always put on weight again! :oops: You are doing so well with losing and I think you...

I have a feeling you're going to do really well this week. Your food sounds amazing and you sound like you're completely in control. I think you'll know when you've hit target as you'll feel comfortable in your own skin and not dependent on the number on the scales.

I hope you're feeling better this morning xx

:( I hope you manage to catch up on some rest today. I've had gastro a few times (occupational hazard lol) and thankfully the actual being sick passes fairly fast but it took a few days to regain my strength. Its a horrid bug to get. X

Are the girls enjoying the trampoline?

That's a good target to aim for and it doesn't put huge pressures on you. I think that's my problem, I am for unrealistic weight losses and then get disappointed. X

I hope you're feeling better this morning and the sickness and diarrhoea has settled down. X

Oh, no I hope you feel better soon. That's rubbish as its so soon after the last time :(

I'm glad the chocolate helped. I hope you're feeling better today. X

Well that's the third thing breaking so hopefully nothing else will. I hope mother are sort it out quickly for you especially as it's not very old. X

Your dress is beautiful and you look really happy. The difference in you is fantastic. It's crazy how fast children grow up. It doesn't feel like 5 minutes ago mine were born and now suddenly they seem so independent.

She is such a happy, beautiful girl :) I hope the trampoline arrived and you weren't waiting around for ages. Food sounds tasty and I think you will definitely get a good loss next week. X

Wow, well done. You have really cracked this eating to suit your lifestyle thing. You must be so happy that you know you can enjoy treats and days out with family and know you will not go crazy and put on weight.

I love baking but there is no way I can resist tasting it once it's finished :oops:

That lemon meringue pie looks amazing. You're day out looked lovely and I love the photo of poppy feeding the lamb :)

Fab, thank you so much Xx

Hi, I'd completely forgotten about this challenge and haven't received any notifications so thank you Kay for the reminder. I'm coming in with a 4lb Easter gain lol Oh, well I'll have that off soon. Am I allowed to continue in this challenge as I've changed to exante for a few weeks, however...

It sounds like you had a lovely day and Hollie is a lucky girl :) Im sure you'll be fine for weigh in as you have been very controlled.

Oh, no about the trampoline. Fingers crossed you manage to swap it/the part soon. A day at the zoo sounds nice and the weather is beautiful at the moment. A carvery sounds nice too, as you'll be in control of how much you eat. Are the company coming to sort your oven out? X

Hi, you look stunning in your dress and you've made a perfect choice. :) I completely agree with you about days out not having to cost much. We spend a lot of time walking in the country and the girls love it. Your takeaway looks amazing and well done on getting 3 meals out of it. Have a...

At least she isn't aware of it but I'd be annoyed about the size of the eggs too. He sounds a little bit ignorant too! My girls have all of my nieces Disney dresses which are too small for her now which is a result for me. I could fit into 12's from around 10.12 but could then get into size...

That's fantastic news about Chris's money. I hate how agencies charge one rate but pay out another. I found from a size 14 to 12 takes ages and then it takes less to get from a 12 to a 10. I used to shop in lewisham a lot as we used to live in a new development (well, new 10 years ago lol)...

Well done on your sts. Your week looks fun and nice that you've gotten to spend some quality time with poppy. I'm very jealous who managed to pick something so fast for the wedding. It always takes me forever to decide and then I usually go back to the first shop I went into. Oops!

Sorry I haven't been around. Well done on your very minimal gain. I'm sure that will be off this week. The girls will love the trampoline. That's the one thing we need to buy when we move. I'm disgusted people feel it appropriate to make comments about her weight. I would be furious and would...

It looks like you have had a lovely day and had lots of fun as a family. Perfect way to spend the Easter break :)

Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm thinking of you and hope that he is ok. X

Can you have a mini fish and chips? Or make your own chips and just have a fish. X

Hi, I'd like to join too. I'd like to lose 21lbs and I'm a Wednesday weigher. Thanks for running this.

Sorry you're still not feeling great and I really hope it doesn't completely ruin your plans. X

Well done with another pound off. You are flying at the moment. I know where you're coming from about not wanting to have too many days off plan over Easter. X

I hope you're feeling better this morning and have managed to at least drink something. X

That's a big drop in points when you start weaning especially as she won't be eating very much to start with. That's really annoying to have lost your Fitbit. Your food is looking nice and I like the sound of mint hot choc. X

Your food is sounding lovely. Do you get a gradual reduction in your points when she starts weaning? Bizarrely velvet crunch crisps used to make me cough when I ate them. It out me off buying them again lol It's awful about Brussels and it puts me off going anywhere. I lived in London when it...

Diggerland sounds like lots of fun. A few friends have been and really enjoyed it. Your pizza looked yummy but I always found Pizza Hut did funny things to my stomach. The girls keep begging to go but I always persuade them pizza express is a nicer choice lol Your food is looking lovely and...

Absolutely :)x

We have one about 15 mins away but parking is a nightmare at a weekend so I don't tend to go. I'm meeting friends on Thursday so I'll pop in on the way. I use around 5-15 a day. I find my losses slow down if I don't use them but I have a friend who can't have more than 7 a day without it...

Food is looking lovely. Sometimes a cheat day is needed so we can get through the long journey of dieting. I completely understand about the holiday. We've agreed we won't take them out of school but it's so tempting when deals come up. X

I'll have to have a look in asda. I looked in our local shop but they only had the normal boxes. They are 5.5 syns on sw so I can enjoy one with my afternoon coffee without feeling guilty.

Wow, what a difference. You look amazing. And very toned. You should be very proud X

Your food today looks so tasty. I didn't know they sold the lemon fancies in their own box. Yum! They might be about to go on my shopping list. Your day sounds lovely and relaxing :)

That looks amazing and you would have an amazing time. The way you're loosing at the moment you could easily be a stone lighter. X

I hope you get the oven sorted under warranty and you don't have to replace it. X

You look amazing and I think Cas is right in that people are to scared to offend nowadays so they don't say anything. It's interesting reading about how your taste buds have changed and you aren't binging anymore. I'm scared that I'll always have a tendency to binge! Your day sounds busy and...
