:bighug: hope you're feeling better PP

Hope your wi goes well this week, but that 0.5lb from last week could have just been down to extra water in your system etc, don't be surprised if it's gone by your wi later this week xx

Well done on getting straight back on it after your night out Stevie :D Food looks good for today, hope you manage to slip something in for your lunch x

Wedding planning and hen night planning :eek: Been trying to sort out food and drink packages for the hen night. Have agreed the price for an extra hour off the photographer. Been cutting up paper for the invitations. Printing inserts out. Choosing vows. Trying to find a side tiara for me...

Hi everyone It's all good here, internet is playing up at home, I had a bit of a tummy bug but am ok now. And I've been really focusing on wedding stuff - I even have a pile of invitation stuff in front of me that I'm working on right now. I just wanted to pop on and let you all know that I'm...

Hope your weekend was good :) And you have a good start to the week xx

Well done on resisting the fridge :) Really pleased for you x

Awwwww glad you had a lovely weekend Lily :D Hope you have a good day and start to the week x

Thank you :D Soooooo chuffed! It would have been nice to hit 5lb loss, but I'll take 4lbs AND I'm super close to my targets oh and another 2 lbs will take me out of the 360s and into the 350s lbs wise (that's the other reason for the 2lb target) :D Oh and another little goal for the week - 2...

It was one night out Stevie, which you fully deserve :) Hope you have a good week Oh, and how AMAZING do you look in that photo? Absolutely stunning!!!

Morning everyone So, 4 lbs off this morning :woohoo: That leaves me just 1 lb to get into the 50s for my bmi and 2 lb to lose a stone, so I'm going to try my very best and go for 2lbs as a goal, but, even if it's just 1 lb that I lose it still hits one of my targets :D And I've just realised...

Just popping on to do my food plan for today Breakfast - banana, grapes and yoghurt Lunch - cheesy pasta (hexa) with chicken with some tomato and cucumber Snack - breakfast biscuits (hexb + 6 syns) and nectarine Dinner - scrambled egg and mushrooms Snack - popcorn (5 syns)

Quick change to food plan and ended up on a red day as I forgot lunch (was going through websites trying to find a tiara for the wedding). I know it's not really enough food but I've tried to build it up where possible Breakfast - kiwi, peach and yoghurt Snack - yoghurt and 2 jaffa cakes (5...

It's not a case of not being able to afford it, or prioritising other things (your colleague sounds like a pillock), it's just something that never even crossed our minds. I'll get Chris to sit down and have a look and see what he thinks :)

Well done on a good week Stevie, hope you have a brilliant weekend :D

Awwwwwwwwwww what a little cutie :D Love the photo of your grandson Hope you have a good day xx

We don't have house insurance, but maybe living up in the hills it's a good idea to look into. PP I think Chris is overreacting too, but he gets really iffy about meat since he did his food hygiene course. In a way I guess I understand where he's coming from, but then it's so frustrating as...

Well done :D

Hope you're feeling better soon :bighug:

:eek: not long and you'll be out of the 20s!!!!!

I rescued what we could from the fridge, but the freezer stuff had to go as Chris is really particular about food from the freezer :(

Definitely going to have to try that chocolate milk :D Hope you get a better night's sleep tonight x

A holiday countdown will be fab :D :bighug:

What a day :( we've had thunder and lightning in the night, which resulted in a power cut, freezer and fridge off and a lot of food has gone to waste :( I'm actually really disappointed as I was planning on having spag bol again, but as it is I haven't been able stick to plan and food hasn't...

Well done on that brilliant loss Lily, I'm really proud of you for going to wi and staying for class :bighug:

:bighug: with you having those skills would it mean you staying on to train someone else? Which could then take you up to June couldn't it? I wish I could tell you the best thing to do, but you'll decide that yourself one way or the other. We're all here for you PP xx

Well done on the loss Stevie :woohoo: And well done on your plan for this week :D

I'm sat here scoffing my way through a tub of lychees as part of my breakfast and the juice is going everywhere :giggle: I have to say I'm feeling really fired up about sw this time around, I like that I'm finding it easier to stick to (even on stressful days) and it's really helping to have...

:( sorry work is so cack with everything going on, is it voluntary redundancy (I can't remember)? If so, you'll make the decision that's right for you :bighug:

Hope you got a good night's sleep xx

:eek: I'd hate to see what a big portion was for Mal. It does look delicious though :) Glad to hear the antibiotics are starting to kick in, hope you're back to normal asap xx

All good here hun, how about you?

:bighug: hope it goes well for you Stevie Please try and remember to have something to eat today too, you did so well last week and getting yourself to eat before weigh in. I just don't want you to get hungry tonight and then pick if that makes sense? You can do this Stevie, I 100% believe in...

Lily, say thank you Mal for going to the post office ;) Big development wedding wise. I spoke to my uncle last night and have asked him to be the one to take on my dad's role and walk me down the aisle. The poor thing started welling up, which then set me off, but he said he'd be proud to and...

Thanks everyone :D I'm so chuffed with it and it's keeping me going :D Have been into town today and given notice for the wedding, so we now have an appointment for the 13th of feb to go and collect our notices so that we can take them to the registrar in the district that we're getting married...

Oh Lily, sorry you're no better :( :bighug: I'd recommend blistex/blisteeze too xx

It's just started coming down lightly again Rosie :( Though over today and tomorrow it is meant to switch to sleet and then rain, so hopefully it's all gone soon :D I didn't get my steak last night so am hoping to have it tonight. I had pork steaks and salad for lunch and for dinner had...

Brilliant planning for today Stevie :D Hope you have a good day and have a brilliant night x

It's better to be honest than to get caught out lying :bighug: Hope you have a good day xx

:bighug: sorry the guy in the meeting was a bit of a prat xx

Food sounds fantastic as always Stevie Hope you had a good day yesterday and another good day today xx

Enjoy your days off xx

I somehow forgot to have dinner last night :eek: I was putting up lightshades and curtains and by the time I'd finished, it was gone 8 o clock and I just couldn't be bothered cooking, so I had a satsuma and my jelly and yoghurt at about 9 o clock and headed to bed once Bruce had been out one...

Hope the meeting went well yesterday PP :bighug:

I really do think you'll get your 2lb and I'll be keeping everything crossed for you :) All good here, have been a bit quiet on minis the past couple of days as I've been a bit focused on the baby side of things, ordered myself a book called "taking charge of your fertility" to see if that...

:( Hope you're feeling better asap Lily :bighug:

:woohoo: well done on your loss Stevie :D

:( hope your knee is better asap, try and rest it as much as you can x

Woke up to yet more snow :eek: Checked metcheck and it should hopefully start raining on saturday. I love the snow and how pretty it is, but I've been stuck in the house for almost a week now and it's getting a bit boring :( I surprised myself last night - Chris gave me a bit of cheesy...

That's what I mean by adding the noodles, I'm not very clear sometimes :giggle: Changing food so I can stick to extra easy :) Breakfast - 2 satsumas, banana and breakfast biscuits (hexb + 6 syns) Lunch - going to try and make something similar to a carbonara - chicken low fat noodles, dairylea...

Have you stuck to the food plan? If so, I honestly don't see it being a problem :D

I know what I can do :D Food is going to stay as it is, but I'll add some low fat supernoodles as a snack or add some to dinner tonight :)

Ok, will class them as 2 hexb. Do I need the extra hexa though? I find it really difficult to fit that in now I'm not having cereal. I might get Chris to get me some cup a soups from morrisons and I can have one of them tonight when I go to bed to use some syns up :D

They're nutri grain breakfast biscuits - 2 count as a hexb, I've got the honey ones. Stevie put me onto them :D

Morning everyone :wavey: Yesterday was fab, first starting it off with that loss (I'm well over my little minute of disappointment lol), and I just let it motivate me to carry on and stay on plan for the rest of the day :D It's started snowing again up here, so I don't know whether to risk...

Awwwww thank you :D I'm really chuffed, had a moment wondering why it wasn't more but soon shook that off when I realised I'd moved down more than 1 bmi point :D How did your day go yesterday?

Be careful you don't go over and hurt yourself xx

Hope wi goes well for you tonight,really hope the scales show a loss for you as you've worked so hard :bighug: Sorry you're missing on your treat, better to be safe than sorry, fingers crossed the snow is gone next week so you can have it then xx

:bighug: hope your week has started better x

morning Lily :wavy: Hope the eye infection clears up soon. Has the snow cleared up for you yet? Hope wi goes well tonight xx

:bighug: hope your day gets better xx

5lbs off :woohoo: But why am I disappointed that it's not more? :sigh: That sounds so stupid of me because 5lbs is a bloody good loss and one that I should be happy with. But I feel like it should be more. Don't get me wrong, deep down I am happy with it, just need to work and get those other...

well done on going to the gym :D do you plan on going again anytime soon? 5lbs off for me this morning :D

Hope this week is much better for you x

Hope you don't get snowed in ;)

Morning Stevie :) hope you have a good day x

Just quickly popping on to do my food plan for the day as I want to finish off sorting out the bedroom :D Breakfast - banana and lychees Lunch - ham and dairylea (hexa) salad Snack - yoghurt Dinner - chinese chicken stir fry Snack - nutri grain breakfast biscuits (hexb + 6 syns), velvet crunch...

Yum dinnertime Lots of mushrooms with scrambled egg :drool: 2 more sleeps until wi :eek:

That sounds like a plan Lily, really hope you get a pair soon :D

Yep first weigh in monday morning :eek: feeling a bit nervous, but excited too, which probably makes no sense at all :giggle: Well done on keeping within points when you went on your dinner date :D

Well, so far I've managed to change the living room around, just got to sort through all the rubbish that I dumped on the sofas :giggle: I've made a discovery though, it's probably not a big thing, but it feels like it to me if that makes sense? I decided out of curiosity that I was going to...

Plan for today is to change the front room around :D Chris isn't going to be too happy when he comes back from work as he hates me messing with things, but I know I'm going to get bored being stuck in the house, so I want to do something that's going to keep me occupied for a while so I don't go...

Ok, so it's now very icy here as the kids on the estate were out in the snow all day yesterday :eek: I'm not going out in that even if I was paid as I know full well I'll end up on my backside and hurting myself. I've noticed that I've become a bit too reliant on pasta the past few days and I...

Hope you had a good day yesterday Stevie, your food sounded delicious :D

Hope you manage to find a pair of those slippers Lily, I had a quick google and the only ones coming up other than the XL ones from amazon were in america :(

Oh PP, what a week you've had :bighug: Keeping everything crossed for you with work and that next week is much better xx

Hope you're not coming down with anything and feel like your usual self again soon :D Glad to hear you're staying on plan and have been doing your exercise. My plan for today was to get out with the dog for half an hour at least and try to build it up from there, but we're at the top of a bank...

Thanks Rosie :D it means I can have a special k chewy delight bar if I fancy one later and still be within syns :D

Well Chris isn't going to work today as further down the road the snow is drifting and the buses can't get through. I'm making a change to my food plan for today as Chris can't go shopping obviously, so for today this is what I'm planning / had Breakfast - 2 satsumas and a yoghurt Lunch -...

Went for a walk down to the main road with Chris to see what it's like and it's covered :eek: Haven't got a chance of even getting the car down to it as it's not worth the risk. He's going to see if the buses are running so he can get down to my mum's for work, but it looks like me and Bruce are...

Morning everyone, so food ended like this yesterday Breakfast - lychees Snack - banana, yoghurt Lunch - scrambled egg and mushrooms followed by velvet crunch crisps (5 syns) Snack - another yoghurt Dinner - spaghetti bolognese, I mixed a hexa of low low cheese spread in the pasta to make it...

Hope everything is ok PP :bighug:

Sorry I didn't get back on yesterday, I was down at my mum's helping out and then Chris had the night off so we made the most of having an evening in together :) How did yesterday go? I think all diets are a bit anti climatic after the first week, but I really think if you keep it up you'll see...

Stevie, another fantastic week so far, I have to say I'm REALLY excited for your wi :D Hope you have a lovely weekend xx

Well done :D Keep it up, you're doing brilliantly getting back on plan x

Glad to hear the op was a success after they finally got her down to surgery :bighug: Hope you have a good day today xx

Change of plan for dinner Bolognese on top of spaghetti mixed with low low cheese spread (hexa) Think I might attempt potato skins and burgers tomorrow night :drool: thanks for the inspiration HF xx

Just a quick message to let you know Im here safe x

I'll set off at about 11.00, which gives me extra time to get there. Just had my lychees and am now full ... going to take the apple down to mum's with me later just in case I'm a bit peckish when I get there

Hope you have a good day today Lily and your daughter's op (is it Kirsty?) goes well x

Definitely think those 30 syns will soon be saved :) Have a good day Stevie x

Your poor sister :( Hope she's ok Have a good day x

Well day 1 of week 2 and how are you feeling? I'm dying to get on the scales on monday and see how I've done :eek: Hope you have a good day x

I'm absolutely petrified. Chris has been a complete and utter idiot and gone to college in the snow. It's been coming down here overnight and is just due to get heavier and the idiot has driven 1.5 hours away to go to a health and social college thing that he has to do for his night duty...

:bighug: awwww that's really sweet of you to say, and no, you're most definitely not alone. I know we're doing different weight loss plans, but any help that I can give you please feel free to ask

:woohoo: omg!!!! See I said it would be working and that you'd see a difference :D Awwww I'm so pleased for you, 7 lbs is amazing!!

Your menus look good Lily :d even where you've gone over syns one day, you've caught it up on other days :D

:eek: yep might be an idea to get them to come across to you if possible Food update for today Breakfast - apple and dragon fruit Lunch - spaghetti bolognese with cheese (hexa) Snack - crisps (5 syns) Dinner - sausage (2 syns), bacon, mushrooms, tomatos and egg Snack - breakfast biscuits (hexb...

I'll be waiting, and I bet it'll be good news :D

Chris actually tried the sauce when I made it the other night and said it tasted nice :eek:

:drool: that sounds amazing Night time is when I usually pick too, so the more syn free / low syn things I have to choose from the better :D Just waiting for it to start snowing again. We're expecting it to start tonight, last through tomorrow and then get heavy on friday :eek: Dreading...

Ooohhh that sounds brilliant Lily :D I'll be giving that a try on a day when I want to use my hexa for something else. I've noticed as well that not giving myself the option to overfill my bowl with cereal and not buying bread in is fantastic, it really does seem to be helping, and I love being...

I think that's a brilliant way to pay for it :D Thinking of ideas for tomorrow and spotted one on the slimming world website for lunch - I have to say it sounds absolutely delicious so that might be on the cards for lunch. Though I probably won't add the extra meat as I think 6 slices of...

That sounds like a good idea with the dream pot Lily, I may have to take on that idea too :D I don't think I actually gave myself any incentives last year and that might be part of the reason that I slipped up, I don't know. But this year, I'm doing things differently :) No more hiding when...

Really hope the soreness and itching eases up for you soon Lily, I can't begin to imagine how uncomfortable it is for you I think a soup sounds perfect for today :D

Thank you Lily :bighug: I feel so determined, it's kind of like a fire inside of me if that makes sense? Whereas last year I think I was doing it because I felt like I had to. This year I'm doing it because I want to and I WILL make it work. I'd love to end the year married (well that's a...

:bighug: hope everything is ok xx

I've been bad :o I was curious as to what the scales were doing and wanted a bit of confirmation that what I'm doing definitely works and hopped on them this morning and I'm 3lb down so far :woohoo: Breakfast for today has been an apple and half a dragon fruit :) I've set myself my first big...

Totally agree with Lisa Well done on your loss Lily xx

Brilliant result last night Stevie, being as motivated as you are I'm sure you'll have a good week :)

Brilliant :D

let us know how it goes tonight :bighug:

Brilliant loss Stevie, well done :woohoo:

Stevie that's exactly what my brother's gf thinks of when she shouts Bruce :giggle:

Just a quick food update for today, going to spend the evening playing with Bruce, maybe I'll get more of a lie in tomorrow if he's tired out? ;) Breakfast - apple and strawberries Snack - crackers (5 syns) Lunch - lychees followed by super noodles Dinner - spaghetti bolognese with cheese...

It'll be doing some good, have you been within your points every day? If so, it will definitely have come off even if only slightly, but add to that the amount of walking you've been doing and I'm pretty sure there will be a difference. Yeah, I started sw yesterday, so my 2nd day back on plan...

that's good that your new trainers are comfy :D we had snow last night and due more again later in the week. how are you feeling about wi tomorrow?

He's 14 weeks old ... The way I see it at the moment is while she's still around, get the weight lost and see if we can give her a grandchild. And just in case anyone panics, that's not the only reason we're trying so hard for a baby :giggle:

:bighug: don't apologise Lily, this is your diary, so it's your space to write what you want to. And if letting it out helps you, then keep going Hope the scales are kind to you tonight xx

I got a couple of pictures this morning of him out in it, but this one is my favourite :D

Ok, so maybe I was wrong about that. Today is going to be quite testing from the looks of things. Just found out that a friend of mine had twin boys yesterday and while I'm so happy for her as she tried for ages and ended up having to have ivf, I'm feeling a bit sad as I really want it to be...

You will conquer it, one step at a time Stevie :bighug: Just think how far you've come compared to when you avoided eating on wi day x

oohh I may have to try that version :D or add some red lentils to thicken it up a bit as so far so good, I'm doing well on extra easy and I definitely think when I started adding the extra hexs when I did red or green that I ran into trouble as I'd normally forget what I'd already had. Bruce...

I chopped 3 chicken breasts into bitesize pieces and then fryed in frylight fryed onions, garlic, and red pepper then added 1 can of tomatos, 1 can of baked beans and 2 cans of mushy peas stirred it all together with some ginger powder and 2 teaspoons of korma spices simmered for an hour :D

Just getting my spag bol ingredients ready to go in the slow cooker :D Really looking forward to it now

:wavey: hope everything is ok and the decorating has gone / is going well xx

Food actually looks good Stevie, given that you didn't used to eat on wi days I think it's a brilliant step forward. Hope you have a good day and enjoy your treat tonight :)

Hope you have a good day today x

Morning everyone :wavey: I've just had to wake Bruce up as the little nutter was still all snuggled up in his crate. I was sat upstairs not wanting to wake him up, but dying for a drink, so in the end I gave up and came downstairs :giggle: The snow has stuck, which means our driveway is going...

:bighug: well done on managing the whole day on plan, you've done brilliantly xx

We have snow now PP!! :woohoo: It sent the dog a bit loopy though :giggle: Hope you've had a good day xx

It's been snowing!!! :D Let's just say it sent Bruce a bit hyper :giggle: So overall food for today :D It doesn't look like a lot, but I've not been hungry during the day, which is good :D Breakfast - lychees and yoghurt Lunch - strawberries and grapes followed by low fat supernoodles Dinner -...

All we're getting here is rain ... it's been a couple of years since it snowed properly. I love it as everything is so quiet and pretty :D Have you been on the wii yet?

Will be waiting :D It might be worthwhile getting some of those blister plasters for your feet while they get used to all of the walking again?

No need to apologise anyone, I actually found it interesting. I don't know what I'd do if it came to it really. I'd probably tweak it and then see if it actually worked for me, but then if it didn't I'd probably follow the sw rules for any other time in the future :) It was delicious Stevie :D...

Ok it didnt add the pic lol

Stevie, does this look right so far?

See, you're doing really well again. You just need to get back into the swing of things xx

I got Chris to get me some of those biccies when he went shopping earlier, quite looking forward to trying them :D Hope the snow eases off for you, we haven't got any whatsoever here, just rain :(

Just having some grapes and strawberries as my superfree then going to have a bowl of low fat super noodles (hope these are still syn free from the search I've just done). Then I'll get the mushy pea curry started :D I'm kinda amazed at how quickly I've been able to slip back into it :D

Breakfast - tub of lychees and yoghurt :D full up now because of having to peel the lychees, it takes longer to eat them and gives me enough time to realise when I've had enough :D Trying hard to move forward with wedding plans so I need to get on it and tidy the spare bedroom where all the...

You didn't waste last year at all :bighug: As I said on your diary, you can do this and I have every faith in you xx

I REALLY think you will have lost, when is it you do your wi?

I'm getting on ok, have decided to finally go for it and get myself back on slimming world 100%. So today is the start of a new week for me and I'm going to do my first weigh in next monday :D Will be keeping everything crossed for your first weigh in :)

That's brilliant, thank you :D Am going to try and get him to take me to do a proper shop later in the week / beginning of next week and just pop into town to top up on fruit and salad for lunches as I've got some meals in the freezer to get through as well. I want to attempt to make some sw...

Thank you Stevie, I really appreciate it. I have a bit of a favour to ask ... can you suggest me some new hexb idea please instead of bread? I want to try and avoid buying it in where possible. Also, is it possible to count a bag of the mini chedds bitesize pieces as a hexa (think there is...

:bighug: you are more than welcome, I know it's daunting with wanting to lose so much, but we WILL get there, we just need to keep at it :D Definitely can't wait for Pitch Perfect to come out on dvd later this year, it's definitely going to be on my shopping list :D

Morning PP :wavey: have a good day x

Well done on a 100% weekend Stevie :woohoo:

Good on you Yvonne, you can totally do this :bighug:

Of course you can Yvonne :bighug: I've made up my mind this morning and I'm going back on slimming world. It worked for me this time last year, so why try mess with something that I know works? So today is my new start, no scales until next monday and then I'll see where I'm at with it. I'm...

I bet you will have lost weight, as long as you follow the plan and exercise you're sure to, it might not come off amazingly quickly, but as long as you're losing that's all that matters :bighug: BTW, I love, love, love Pitch Perfect!!! You know the bit where they do the mashup of Bruno Mars...

I don't mind at all Rosie (any help is greatly appreciated), I'm not overly hungry today (not entirely sure why), but if I get a bit peckish I can whip up some pasta or I might use the last of the bread on a tuna salad sandwich :)

She actually said Bruce was a "poor puppy" and a "poor little thing" because I'd bathed him a few weeks ago and used too strong a shampoo on him, resulting in dandruff and then tried to rectify it by bathing him again with a shampoo designed for dry itchy skin. Ick, she was a bit of a stupid...

Well done for staying on plan yesterday Stevie :D sounds like you had a brilliant day Those biscuit moments from special k are yum!! I have the chocolate ones in, so think they will become my nightime chocolate fix snack :giggle:

Chocolate cake and squirty cream, that's how my night ended. Stupid comfort eating! I got really upset as some woman actually had the nerve to patronise me and be really horrible about me because I'd asked a question on a labrador forum, and I just did the first thing I thought of - which was...

I'm so jealous, I want it snow here. I've got my camera on charge ready to get lots of pictures :D

Hope you enjoyed the cinema last night x

:eek: we're meant to have snow too, have you had any yet?

I love it :) it's kinda like a very subtle kiwi fruit

Food so far today Dragon fruit, yoghurt, special k biscuit moments mini pretzels bag of chedds nibbles roughly 1 litre of water

Have you seen the normal chargrilled chicken pieces you can get? If you're not vegetarian hun, it might be worth a try, I know they're fairly low syns on slimming world

Hope you have a good weekend PP

Hope the decorating is going well and you have a good weekend :)

Hope you have a lovely day Stevie :D

Awwww the poor thing, I was scared for ages - was absolutely petrified, but since having Bruce, I have to say it's been pretty amazing. Not doing brilliant food wise, but have had one hell of a day and made the mistake of going into co op earlier when I was hungry. How's your day been so far?

Thanks Jayde. All being well Chris should (fingers crossed) be back at work tomorrow so normal service should resume :) I'm going to do a bit of a food plan for tomorrow Breakfast - dragon fruit, grapes followed by a yoghurt Lunch - scrambled egg and mushrooms on toast Snack - bag of mini...

He's got an appointment to go and get it pulled out once the infection is gone, hopefully that will stop all the trouble he's been having with it

If you've got enough time for a dog maybe think about getting one? It's company for when you're walking. I probably seem odd as when I'm walking with Bruce I'll talk to him :giggle:

Well done on turning down the ice cream sundae :D

Hope today is going well Lily :D

Sounds like a good incentive to stick to plan during the week :D Hope you have a good day, your food sounds delicious

Not a brilliant start to the day on a personal and food level. Chris woke up with a very swollen cheek and in agony, so I had to rush him to the dr (having to skip breakfast for me and the dog), who then sent him to the dentist, who's now given him a very strong course of antibiotics. But it...

Hi Shanna :) Soooo glad you started a diary, so I can follow how well you're doing here. I promise the walking will come with time, it just takes a bit of getting used to. Before I started walking last year I couldn't get up the bank near my mum's house without having to stop, within a few...

I think I'm going to follow slimming world again as I did do really well on it last year, but I'll be doing it from home. I'm not sure whether to sign up online or not as this place is such a huge help I think I can follow it without their website :) I'm pretty sure you can start a diary (I...

Have you started a diary yet that I can subscribe to?

If it's worked for you so far then it's got to be good :) I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to add that quote to my signature on here as it just makes complete and utter sense to me

Change to food for today Breakfast - choccy weetabix Snack - banana and crackers Lunch - egg friend rice (turned out soooooo much better than the first time I attempted it, have got a couple of portions in the fridge too) Dinner - egg fried rice, salmon, tomato and cucumber Snack - grapes and...

:bighug: Oh Lily it sounds like the day from hell yesterday, I second what Lucia says that you must be so strong to have not turned to food

I turned 29 a week ago, so I'm not getting any younger. My periods have also stopped because of my weight, which is what's given me the kick up the backside again to get things moving. I think within about 2 months of being on slimming world last time they had started coming back. I actually...

Last year I started on slimming world and did pretty well on it in the first few months, then for the rest of the year my weight was like a yoyo, up and down until it went up and stayed up as I'd lost focus and motivation yet again. So, this morning I got back on the scales for the first time...

Fingers crossed you don't need another filling Keep up the positivity, you're doing fab :D

Food looks brilliant :D So glad you had a good first day on your fresh start. Did it feel good to get back on it properly? Hope it goes well at the dentist.

Lily I did get the pm, I replied as well, so hopefully it's come through to you by now, let me know if it hasn't and I'll reply again :) Yesterday didn't go according to plan food wise (as I discovered that Chris hadn't actually got me any eggs like I'd wanted and then I had to do a mad dash to...

Loving seeing your determination and seeing you so fired up again Lily :D

I hope day 1 of your fresh start went well Stevie :) Have a good day x

Hope you have a good day PP, not long until the weekend :D

Lunchtime

I've asked Chris to get me some batteries on his way home from work so I can weigh myself in the morning and see what the damage is, and then I'll weigh in properly on a monday morning I think as we're definitely at home then. I've got a bit of a confession to make, before I disappeared before...

Oooohhhh I think I may have to give it a try :)

This is what I have at the moment. Little swine has decided he wants cuddles and wob't take no for an answer

Is the mushy pea curry nice Stevie? I'm half tempted to try it :) Love your food plan for today, it looks absolutely brilliant

Hope you have a good start to your week Stevie :D

:giggle: not a whole day of cleaning PP, I just got the boring jobs out of the way so I can concentrate on working my focus up this afternoon while I search for recipes :D

Hope you have a good day PP :wavey:

Yep, Bruce is a lab, little choccy one - apparently they can be nasty and difficult to train - what a load of tosh. Firstly Chris' parents have a choccy lab and he is the most docile dog I've ever met, then Bruce has been an absolutely delight to train. With the mil it's like she assumes that...

Your menu looks absolutely brilliant Lily :D And your grandson sounds like a complete and utter sweetheart. I'm going to nick Chris' laptop tonight so that I can have a nosey at the pics you've put up :) p.s. well done on the loss :woohoo:

I'm so tired it's unbelievable and this is when I normally pick at food, so I'm trying to keep busy by keeping the pup awake so that he sleeps well (as he usually does) tonight. He's just been throwing a carrot around the kitchen as I read that it can help with teething and is pretty good for...

Well done on resisting the fajitas :) Taking an empty bottle sounds like a brilliant idea, at least you know it's there and then there's no danger of forgetting it

I say the positive was half a day off work ;)

I bet it'll soon be gone too, when you focus you're absolutely amazing at this :)

Hope the scales are kind to you tonight Lily I can't see a picture at the moment, but that might be down to me being logged in on the ipad xx

I thought it was doing it a bit more than usual PP, it's frustrating. How's your week going so far?

:( I've had to cancel my order for the slim fast tubs as they hadn't been dispatched and have requested a refund So it means I now need to find something for lunch. I think I might just have a couple of weetabix and milk as well as my grapes and strawberries. And I think I'm just going to stick...

I'm testing out the urban decay foundation today and love how it's gone on ... definitely need a powder and to layer on the blush a bit more, but I really like how it looks yay :D Definitely fired up and raring to go again and this time I'm going to try my hardest to use any negatives to spur...

:woohoo: so pleased to see you back on it

I second the idea about taking a litre bottle to work if possible :) Keep up the brilliant work

:bighug:

Ok, so first day back on food plan and am off to a good start. I started the day with a glass of water when I got woken up by the pup and am currently munching my way through an apple, then banana on toast followed by a muller light (with another glass of water). Yesterday was good, we weren't...

Yay I can get in your diary :D How did Bokwa go? Really hope the scales aren't cruel to you tonight x

I'd love to lose 4 stone, will try, but anything over 1.5 stone will be a bonus :) I ordered the slim fast tubs when they were on half price at boots and stocked up on 2 months worth to see how it goes. I got the banana and chocolate flavour, but I was thinking with the chocolate flavour, I...

Oh and for everyone's diaries I haven't been able to get to yet, I'll be there asap once I've got these posts up :giggle:

Lisa, it's the 20th of July ... I was about to say next year, but it's this year :eek: We kinda knew it was coming with mum, but didn't really expect the drs etc to throw themselves into it so quickly. It's as if they're expecting something to happen :( I'd love to be able to tell her to butt...

A massive well done from me on what you've achieved so far :) xx

Thank you :) We're away on monday, off to the trafford centre to see if I can get some foundation samples to trial before our wedding, but am hoping to get started fully on tuesday when we're back at home x

Oh, and I wanted to introduce you all to our special little man - Bruce :D He has been absolute perfection, we couldn't ask for a better dog Oh, and the floor has been hoovered since I took this picture, it's unbelievable the amount of bits he brings in from the garden :giggle:

Food This has been my majoy downfall over the past few months and I really need to start getting things back into shape. I know slimming world worked for me but I want to be able to give myself a bit more freedom with the hexa and hexbs, so what I'm planning on following is a combination of...

Oh Lily, I've missed so much :bighug: I'm so sorry for being awol for so long, but I'm back now and raring to go Congratulations on your grandson, hope you had a wonderful christmas and new year xx

PP I'm so proud of how you handled yesterday, you did so well :bighug: So sorry I've been awol, but I have a new username and a new diary, ready for a new start

This time last year I joined minimins under a different username and have to admit that I made a very good start under slimming world. However, due to circumstances (which I'll go into more depth about shortly) that in all honesty I let beat me, I've put every single lb back on (if not...
