Thanks ladies, decided just going to enjoy my weekend away and then get back on it next week :-) sometimes you got to enjoy living life more than getting skinny and eating salad, and for me, this is one of those times :-) odd not having plans tho, not really got any plans for next few days...

Glad your having a good week food wise, and well done on your loss! Hows things going with oh? Not realised you had kids before! Lol. Im a dental nurse, but 5 hours seems like a long time! He must have used quite a lot to get you numb! A dental block will numb one side of your lower jaw, and...

Hmmmm love halloumi!! good luck with your house viewings! Where you moving to? X

Hi ladies! When i weighed in Tuesday, I'd put on 3lb! Woops! And since then I've had a week of eating out/ celebrating with cake and general awfully off plan meals :-/ the bathroom is being stripped so scales arnt in there to weigh. I'm thinking tho, my major handicap is my general lack of...

Nope wasn't great with yesterday's meal plan either!! Not hurrendous, but not good! I'm just in the middle of switching my pills and implant, and been back on my old one a week, and I'm surprised how much it's been changing me! I never noticed before!! So yesterday had- 11- bit of leftover...

Well done Hun, your doing really well xx

Still didn't have a good day yesterday :-/ Had very random food too mango bbq chicken pasta with hot dog sausages, philli and a blob of pesto club biscuit after giving blood thai for tea, had some chips and a coconut try curry, noodles and a stir fry dish. Not too bad apart from chips and...

Sorry ladies! Have completely abandoned you I promise. I'm just exhausted this week, been dead on my feet both nights, which has lead to an unorganised and off plan mini! day off today, so I can get myself organised, and get back on it. Wednesday wasn't too bad, had some very rich chocolate...

Thanks for a pic Hun, I'll give it a go :-) xxx

Wednesday- food plan for today- breakfast- 2 baby wholemeal rolls (hex b) with Turkey bacon, watermelon snack- clementine lunch- fat free super noodles, muller, fruit salad of watermelon, strawberries, mango and bloobs dinner- lasagna from freezer chris has first injection today so I'll walk...

Hi Hun, I'm sure you can use blue laughing cow as hex a, don't know how many, I'll have a look on my book for you xx

Really like the look of your mac and cheese. Is it a sw recipe? X

Thanks ladies, was really chuffed! day didn't go exactly to plan but was still quite good food- b- magic oats with strawberrues lunch- leftover couscous salad, muller, bloobs, few cherries snack- pear dinner- Quorn lamb steak, sw chips, cheesy leeks, made with philli, broccoli and cauliflower...

Welcome Hun, the more the merrier definitely :-) xx

Welcome Hun, lovely to have you xx

Thanks Hun, very pleased. And had my first you look like your loosing weight comment today! Woop! Wasn't expecting anybody to notice yet! Xx

Tuesday- very quick update of wi as sat in car before I walk to work. Lost 2lbs! Woop :-) only 0.8 from loosing my first 1/2 stone, so that's my aim for the coming week :-) xx

Did you have fun with your dad today? Xx

i swear writing down what i eat on here means i dont sneak things in or forget anything, it seems mental but sort of helps me. xx

Sunday- Food hasnt gone too bad today to be honest, could have gone worse, had i gone for lunch! lol we ended up going out and buying the smart tv, bought ourselves gravity on 3D blueray to check it out, and headed home we have been playing with it for a few hours, and generally seems fantastic...

well done to your sis hun! its hard sometimes to take that first leap, so hopefully for her this is the start of a new her. Hope your feeling a bite better about all you time spent cooking etc! hope your feeling more positive about a day on plan! i think monday is a poo day to weigh sometimes...

Are you still doing weekly diary for them to look at at weigh in? Tbh I'd rather loose 1.5 lbs ever week than 3lb one week and none the next if you get me? X

You normally have a good loss the first week, I think because it's a bit of a shock to the system and usually a bit of water weight too. I think sometimes if you don't eat a lot, or say eat too much fruit then it has a bad effect on losses too xx

I think it was when I started last year, but I realised that mostly I wasn't bothered about drinking once I'd cut down. I am in need of a big drunken mess night out, but think I'll plan it in when I've met a weightloss target as a reward. Be good all week and then just be naughty as I like for 1...

thats the real dream isn't it!! 8 stone by next Monday!!! Ha ha. I know it's tough Hun! Totally get it!! But I just keep trying to think about how great it will be to be skinny again. My sis has a pic of me on her fridge and I want to get back to that! And at the time I thought I was fat!! i...

Lovely to have you here Hun!! And thanks for the help on syns! I don't drink that often, so used to just not count! Ha! Need to learn more from you! Xx

Monday- well I had a rubbish nights sleep, but I really can't complain! Chris has got ongoing neck problems, gets his first injection into on Wednesday, but a new symptom he's been getting is pins and needles down his arms when he gets really tired. They think is due to the nerves being damaged...

Hope you had a good night with friends and you have a good day with your dad!! Yeah if I have cheese when out I count it as hex a xx

Thanks Hun, I'll definitely try that one :-) xx

I did ww before I got married, didn't lose that much tbh, but at the time I thought I was doing ok. When I started sw I found my Ww books, and each week my weight would be down then up. Then I thought back, I used to eat fruit, yoghurt and tiny crust less toasts for breakfast- as was about 2.5...

hmm yum, what's the saucing looking thing? Xx

Sunday So after a bit of a lazy morning at home, we decided to go see my grandma. Had a lovely few hours sat in her garden with her, took Mylo with us, as she loves Mylo. She even had a gate put up for him so he can't get to the front of the house without us!! picked up my brother on the way...

Have fun :-) x

It was gorgeous rochelle! 2nd time we've ordered from them and both times it has been delicious! You can tell it's all fresh and healthy so don't feel too guilty eating it. And don't get that awful bloated feeling like I would have with pizza x

You been out partying?? Xx

I was on the pill from 15, and I didn't put on weight with it. Just changed mine now before I try the implant and I don't think that's affected my weight. It has had the lovely affect of only 1 period in 3 months tho! Dream come true ATM! Xx

Saturday So after brunch and a shower, Chris walked Mylo and then we went to take this mirror back and do a bit of shopping. Very productive but expensive few hours! Lol. Mylo was hilarious staring at the clock and pacing when he realised we'd put it up- too busy with a new bone before. Got...

Thanks Hun, I really hope that I eventually get there! I'd love to be healthy and active for when we have kids xx

That's still good Hun, your nice and consistent with your losses, so more likely to keep it off, just remember to syn things right, that bit always confused me slightly tbh. We all have it Hun, unfortunately! Ha. I get the worst cravings for chocolate! Xx

Saturday. Had a nice little lie in, and lazy morning reading through diaries. I waited for hubby to wake up to eat so had brunch at midday but I am super full, so maybe some fruit this afternoon and then I should be ok until dinner. My friend is having a pretty rubbish day with her hubby, so...

Hi Hun, how are you getting on? Good week? Is it wi today for you? Xxx

Welcome! It's lovely having you!! Just been reading your diary a bit from when you first started!! Saw your pic from when you'd lost 3st, and you've come so far since then. Any inspiration for making it more a way of life than something you need to think about? Xx

Omg, you poor thing. Sounds like you suffer more than most! If I'm busy and forget to eat I go shaky and sick, my brain just used to stop wanting to work, I couldn't talk properly. It's awful! That's only because if have had a light lunch and gone straight from work to do something, I can't...

Oh I think that nappy thing is totally gross! Plus lots of older people will be there, so not sure how that would go down. But the baby photo idea isn't bad, there just might be too many people. She's asked for 25 invites, obviously me and her mum etc won't need invite and we're bringing...

A before and after pick of my shelves for anyone interested!

atm, I'm making up a food hamper of posh bits, as a raffle prize, entry into the raffle is a packet of nappies and you can enter as many times as you want- hopefully mummy and daddy to be end up stocked with nappies! It's a BBQ and boys are invited to so think well have to be careful with games...

Well done you for healthy Chinese choices, I would have sneaked a few chips on my plate. Lol! Your oh sounds fairly supportive bless him. Definetrly eat your maltesers, that's what you really want, you'll feel deprived if you don't, just rein it in a bit tomorrow. Hope your ok xxx

Hi, well I've definitely made up for not eating a lot yesterday food- breakfast- pineapple, mango, yoghurt brunch- ham salad roll, diet coke 2.30 food- leftover veg curry- no rice or anything tho dinner- sausage casserole, rice, salad late snack- pesto pasta, cheese Just been hungry all day...

Thanks Hun. After sicky tum I was just reluctant to eat :-/ hopefully tomorrow will be more productive xxx

thanks Hun, I think I'll have a go at stiring them in. When you do your carrot oats do you put the grated carrot in overnight too? Xx

Hi all, had a bit of an odd day tbh. I'm still not feeling 100% but getting there. Were supposed to be having a BBQ on Saturday so we went out to stick up on beer etc, but due to end if the month skintness needed to take the credit card. We were literally pulling into the car park after a 15...

Hmm I'll give it a go next time, they look for appealing, and guess it saves me peeling time :-) well done you got not reaching for the junk food, it's hard work when your feeling poo xxxx

Shame you've not got your night out, always nice having something to look forward to. Yeah lots and lots of teeth. Lol. Hope you enjoy your lie ins xxx

Oh your stir them in. Lol. I'm silly, layer of yoghurt, layer of oats with fruit layers Inbetween. Thought that's what I'd read to do. Thanks Hun cx

Hi, had a bit of an odd day, not feeling great and got sent home from work because I was sick, didn't feel too bad this afternoon tho so got a few jobs done. I don't think I did the magic porridge right. I thought I was supposed to later iit in a bowl, but it didn't seem to do anything. Any...

Foods looking good Hun! How are you feeling this week? And how do you cook your roasties, mine don't seem to brown up like that with fry light xx

Sounds interesting Hun! Do you enjoy it? Always thought i might work in a bank. I'm a dental nurse x

That's great Hun! Your sounding so positive! What do you do for work? Xx

Hi Hun, how are you getting on? Summer time is great for wanting to eat salad but poo for ice creams and bbqs and stuff. Its hard not to be disappointed sometimes isnt it. I'm sure you'll get a loss this week xx

Woah! It's been a long day! This is when being prepared is key! Long day at work, home and had tea then we went shopping for more garden bits. Go home and prepped tomorrow nights tea and now finally sat down. Hubby has been so helpful today, he's been off today and has hoovered all through...

I had a really nice salad from tesco last week, it was chargrilled chicken with noodles I think, had a bit of a Thai dressing that came in a separate pot. No idea on syns but was totally delicious! Xx

thanks Hun. I just don't want to get myself worked up about it all, which I did a bit last time. I just want to sort of make better choices generally again. It's so easy to push too hard when the numbers arnt going down very quickly, think that's what I did last time. Feeling positive :-) 10lb...

Had a nice little shock this morning :-) weighed in at 13 11.2, thought that was a sts which I was chuffed with tbh, and I came on here and realised I've actually lost a lb! So happy that all my resisting worked, I'd have normally eaten everything I wanted and gained 4lb over a weekend! So I'm a...

Hi, just thought I'd post my plan for tomorrow, breakfast-fruit crunch ryvita with yoghurt and raspberries snack- pear or banana depending on if banana looks ripe enough lunch- leftover cous cous, salad, chicken tikka, apple dinner- chicken stir fry with either noodles or rice with broccoli...

That's a long day!! What do you do? Food sounds good tho Hun xx

Hellloooo, so travelled back from Warrington today, wasn't too bad, bout 3 hour drive. We had nothing in the house so went food shopping, got a fridge and fruit bowl full again :-) yay! Popped to homebase, picked out the paint I'm going to use to paint my bookshelf, yay! Gone for green blue...

Love a good ice cream :-) lol. X

your food looks yum! Xx

Gorgeous! Warringtons not that far from you :-) xx

It's been lovely thanks Hun, lunch out then went to a place called Walton gardens which has a little petting zoo, a park and loads of grass, had loads of fun, nice getting to spend quality time with my nephew. He's so grown up for 2amd half. Long drive back home tomorrow xx

I'll have to have a look, don't go in asda all that much, as the one closest to us is rubbish, but I'll have a look next time I'm in. Weather has been gorgeous couldn't have asked for nicer weather tbh, I love summer :-) xx

Is there anywhere near you that you can train hills? I can't think of many hills in Central Manchester tbh xx

It's not shi te! It's just your body getting used to you being permanently lighter than when you started. Think it sometimes needs some time to steady itself out and get used to a smaller you! I only realised when I saw the workings out that was posted and it suddenly clicked. Keep with it...

yeah definitely, he has absolutely no confidence in himself and can never see how amazing he is, and it's a huge shame, and it's all because of them. Luckily his dad and step mum (they live in Spain unfortunately), are fantastic too xx

Helllooooo, so thought I'd update on all of the copious amounts of food that I have munched through today! Lol bunny update, he had one of his balls bitten by the other rabbit when they were fighting. - some painkillers and antibiotics and he'll be ok. Bless him. We then went for dinner in a...

he normally keeps pretty quiet, but his family are very quick to criticise and very very slow to praise, so I think it hits him. He is usually quite quiet when we've seen them. He normally gets a career lecture that he's doing nothing with his life ( he's in the raf and has been for 6 years)...

Sounds like a great plan Hun, you'll have something to work towards too!! Xxx

The .8 bit of 13.8 that you've worked out, isn't meant to mean 8lbs, it's .8 of 1 stone which is 11lb something Hun. Is that any clearer? Sorry don't think I'm good at explaining maths in writing! Lol x

I get why your annoyed but worked it out :-/ not that you'll want it, so sorry!! 0.8 of a stone is 0.8 of 14lbs so comes out at 11. Something lbs :-( could you get some scales at home that are more accurate or would you just weigh all the time? Xx

Omg! How eventful! I hope your not too hurt and embarrassed now! I think you did amazingly well! And if you stopped lots and walked lots, you'd have thrashed your target otherwise xxx

Hi ladies! Weather looks as though it's going to be a beautiful day again! Think I survived the day yesterday without too many syns! Lol. We nipped to ikea but couldn't get any candles the right colour tho, and still came home with a bag full of stuff. Lol. chris' family wernt too difficult...

Your diary looks good Hun! Good luck with your race, I hope you do it in the time you want- :-) it's hot out so drink plenty - sorry sound like your mother! Lol xx

I suppose the syns for a bit of chicken must be less than some noodles on a red day. Good luck with weigh in, you should be in for a treat this week Hun:-) and then I think you deserve a cake for resisting so long! Lol. Xxx

Some of them are super easy actually, I just changed how I made things like spag Bol so instead of using a jar, I used pasata and chopped tomato to make my own sauce. I get bored if I eat the same things. Xx

If you lose that every week that's really good Hun! I try to mix up what I eat and then I don't get bored. I'm alright, don't know if I said, but when I weighed on Tuesday I'd lost 3lb. But away now so just trying to be good, and make as good choices as I can really. I'd rather lose more slowly...

That's still good Hun. Maybe try some salad this week instead of potato for lunch? Or have a go at red or green days x

Sounds like your having a fabulous time! Enjoy your next stretch xx

Aww that sounds so sweet, little family walk. Hope the weathers as beautiful for you as it is here :-) your soup sounds beautiful, never really thought of adding some Thai flavours, but definitely think I'll be trying that next week! Yum! How do you do your coconut? Xx

Your food is looking lovely, have you got much planned for the weekend? Xx

Hi, its lovely and sunny up here in the north again today :-) we travelled up yesterday, stopped for lunch at an american diner which we always eye up, which was lovely. Chris had a big thick proper shake, still had chunks of ice cream in and tons of choc chips, had to have a little taste of...

Probably also having a BBQ but going to sister in laws today until Monday so could be a long weekend of dodging the naughties! Xx

Hi ladies, yesterday wasn't completely on plan but I don't think I did too awful either. Had college which just seemed to drag, managed to get my eyebrows waxed and then home. Always feel like I'm not good enough when I go up to Chris' family. Feeling fat and awful as it is, my hairs too dark...

Yeah not far, yeah it's called magic weekend I think. I miss Manchester! Lol x

Oh wow! Good luck with your 10k, and your resisting buffet! Hopefully they'll have some chicken and crudités you can munch on. She lives in Warrington, but seeing his grandparents near bury on the way past first tomorrow. Nothing exciting. Chris is just watching the rugby in Manchester on Sunday xx

Yeah that's probably it! Ha ha. See I'm not really into creamy rich sauces, make me feel a bit sick, so this is perfect. Can see why it seemed a big bland and blah tho xxx

Yeah I'm good thanks chick, I lost 3lb when I weighed Tuesday. But going away Friday until Monday to my sister in laws. Going to cook up a load of snacks, and buy a tray of mullers and that way I can snack healthy and give myself smaller portions of her high syn food. Glad your having a good...

Looks like your completely to plan Hun, looks like your in for a good week. Xxx

never tried couscous for breakfast.... Might have to. How was your carbonara? X

Oh good. What have you been eating? Xx

Hi ladies, its been a bit of a long day to be honest. Set off for work, they'd been a crash, so I had to turn around and had huge diversion! Went back past home only to realise is forgotten my uniform. Then had to get coins out of our coin jar for car park closer to work as I was so late...

Congratulations!! Mega pleased for you, hope you have an amazing night!! Xxx

Fingers and toes crossed for. A much deserved meal that would be xx

Looks like a lovely day :-) and made me well fancy a jacket potato xx

Hi guys, had quite a good day all in all. My stuff I had to do with my assessor all went well, so more of my course completed :-) came home and found out Chris can come to my dads 50th birthday party! Yay. Previously we thought he had to work...so yay that we get to party together in July...

thanks to you and your great inspiration :-) xx

Hi Hun, sometimes you've just got to eat what you want and be done with it. Well done for drawing a line in the sand xxx

Your food is looking epic! Loving the feast of cooking! Do you make Dahl loaf balls with onion to make your Bahjis? Xx

Just a quick pop on cos got tons to do this morning, breakfast was yummy with the grated apple :-) and had my first week weigh in today and 3.2lb lighter! Woop! I god start to my loosing a stone by July! Yay! Today will be a good day! Xxx

Oh and planned my meals for tomorrow :-) breakfast- porridge- depends how hungry I am, might only have half a packet like last week. A grated apple stirred in with a bit of Cinammon. Maybe fruit Snack- banana- if I have time to go buy in morning Lunch- mugshot, humous and carrot sticks, fruit...

Thanks Hun. What's your weigh day? X

Well done Hun!! This is way more sustainable than other diets, and if you love food and cooking you'll love this :-) some of those meal replacement ones are so expensive, plus my mums friend has done them, and then she just piles the weight back on when she stops! Good luck Hun and if you have...

Thanks for the tip with the fake tan. Luckily this hair dye says it will wash out in 28 washes so I'm guessing it will get lighter :-) defo feeling the wine and choc tonight but got my first weigh in the morning- well official one. X

Not stopped eating again today! Jeez! 2 of the ladies I work with are doing the 5:2 diet and today was fasting day for one of them. I seriously don't think I'd cope very well. So anyway, after my chickpea Dahl I had my banana from this morning. Came home and had chilli and rice. Rice was even in...

Hi Hun, welcome to my page! how are you finding it this time around? I'm feeling renewed enthusiasm tbh. The fanta chicken was yum, tasted a bit like sweet and sour, and simple enough to do on a week night. Ha, that's so funny about your boss. My hair is totallly blatantly changed and one girl...

Helloooo, just on lunch, had a very very busy morning where we had lots of complicated cases :-/ hopefully it won't be like that all the way til 7! Didnt manage to eat my banana this morning, no time. Had soup, humous and carrot sticks for lunch and a kiwi. But got my chickpea Dahl as an...

Your food diary looks fab Hun. Are you enjoying being back on plan? Xx

Glad your back with us Hun. It doesn't matter what's happened, just draw a line and carry on! Hope your feeling a bit more positive! Are you going to weigh tomorrow? I used to eat peanut butter on apple all the time when I was at boarding school! Probably not eaten in at least 8 years, brought...

That's good, much better than chilli poppers! lol x

Hi ladies, had quite a nice Sunday really. I have got a bit cooked today, but was hoping to get the 1/2 syn roulade made. Suppose I could make it now... I started painting one of our cabinets, 4 coats later and I didn't have time to do the doors and drawers before mum turned up with the kids...

Thanks Hun xx

Hi ladies, having a bit of a day at home today. Hoping to do some baking/cooking later, and in the middle of doing some painting. Mums dropping by this afternoon with a neice and 2 of my nephews, so think well wander to park/take Mylo for a walk. food plan for today- brunch- left over...

im stealing the idea of grated apple too- sounds yum. Do you slice your banana, stick it in a tub and then freeze it? Love all these ideas. Got frozen raspberries for my roulade. Do you defrost them or stick straight in? Sorry for hijacking Jade! Xx

I totally get this, I'm the only one that cooks therefore I have to do the good shopping. I try to make him come with me now! But if I don't plan we'd get to 6pm and be like what shall we have for tea, and he'd just I dunno.... So irritating!! Lol. Feeling a a bit better today after some...

Hi Hun, feeling better this morning, could have done with wine and choc last night and I'd have been fine, but resisted. Lol. The sausages are probably full of syns. :-/ I just started using this amazing butchers near me, and all their meat is so delicious, I just couldn't resist! They've just...

Omg! I don't think I've actually stopped eating today- all bloody day long!! on plan but my god can I eat! So here's what I've eaten- breakfast- pineapple and blueberries 11.30ish- carbonara 3ish- bang bang chicken noodle salad followed by a cider apple sausage 4ish- cider apple sausage 5ish-...

Oh this is the 2nd time I'm doing this one, put a bit extra peanut butter in last time and I preferred it last time. Next time I'll just add the extra syns, but was still yummy. Did it without cucumber this time and with a tiny bit of lettuce instead, as hubby doesn't like cucumber, and hasn't...

It's a slimming world recipe that's from the taste of Asia book. It's yummy, would you like me to take a pic of the recipe book for you? Xx

I love koppaberg! And I miss Manchester!! Not much planned for tonight, planning burger and chips fake away for dinner then probably just have a night in with the TV and the hubby! How boring are we! Lol. Xx

Well done Hun!! That's really good! I'm rubbish at reining in my drinking when I'm out, once I've had a glass of wine I find I want a bottle lol. I try to top a small glass up with soda and get them to put it in a large glass for me! Lol. Just got a new macaroni cheese mug **** to try, hoping...

Hope these help Hun. Xx

Totally get it!! There's a lady I've got on fb that does sw called Claire, she always posts really good stuff. About the long term, and how being on plan for the majority of days means long term your weight goes down, I'll see if I can find something. Fry up? X

Hi ladies, not got too much planned this weekend tbh. hubby is still in bed at 11am. Lol. But he's get a very bad neck so generally can't sleep and we don't have kids do don't feel like I should be getting him up tbh. Need to go to the butchers to get some meat, and need to do some cooking but...

Hmmm yeah it was- I got peckish at half 10 and went back for a bit more! Ha ha! Xx

Oh Hun :-( wish I could just give you a massive hug! I think we have all been there, and totally get how your feeling. It's like why am i bothering when I'm still not loosing! It's totally rubbish. I remember when I lost my weight before and I sat at 13st 0.5lbs for 3 weeks and all I wanted was...

The same but with 4 cloves of garlic! I probably stink! Lol x

Yeah made with chickpeas. I often take leftovers from dinner for lunch. Mugshots are quite good, mostly free or a few syns. Variety is the key, keeping it so it's not boring is good :-) let me know how you get in xx

Only just started again on Tuesday but going it alone this time, I moved house and just couldn't find a group that I liked the same. If you like humous you can make a syn free one. Or I make a syn free dip with Greek yoghurt, garlic, mint and a bit of lemon. Popcorn isn't as bad as some snacks...

Well done! Just read a few posts and you are such an inspiration! Keep it up and I'm sure you can get your 2lb off this week!! 10 stone that's an epic amount, bet you feel like a different man :-) xxx

Hi Hun, how have you been getting on with your first week? I'm just re starting as I put weight back on, but one thing that really helped me before was planning my meals. Generally I try to roughly plan for the next day, if I plan too far I don't want what it is I've planned. I also try to have...

Hi Hun, here to start following :-) bingo sounds like fun! Have not been for ages, and it's hard when someone makes you lunch, next time you'll just have to invite her to your house. Xx

Think it will be a regular in this house tbh, I don't normally have creamy sauces on pasta but I loved it. We decided we'd put more bacon and mushrooms in it next time tho. And was very shocked as normally when it says serves 4, it usually serves 3 in our house, where as this would actually...

Hey, ive be had a lovely Friday. Little walk with Mylo this morning. The field we normally walk in is also used for a lot of sport and they've cordoned areas of it off to help it grow. Mylo was so confused about what the noise was when the plastic ties were blowing in the wind! Super cute, he...

I never used to syn stuff like that. I occasionally will have a banana split in half with a freddo stuck through it and baked in the oven. It's so yummy half melted and really having one of them occasionally, I'm not synning that! Yum tho if you like stuff like that lol x

It's Friiiiday! Yay! I don't work Fridays anymore so had a little lie in :-) just eaten a super yum breakfast while watching an episode of great British menu, and once this has finished I'll take my beautiful pooch out for a walk. Meeting my friend later, she said she'll call me after...

Thanks hun! grabbed sausage casserole from freezer actually as made last week. Found a new butchers and got a bit obsessed and bought soo much meat that i had to cook loads of it off. lol. Was mainly chuck stuff in, but I did use one of those herb mix packets. I think it was onion, pepper...

I got hungry an hour after dinner and ended up eating couscous. lol. I know they need to be reduced, yours look way healthier! think i need to have carbs a bit with lunch is all. salad doesnt keep you full for long! lol x

Hi ladies! Finished work for the week woohoo! :-D and have got home and had my dinner, completely on plan so day 3 is complete! Got a date with hubby and the TV tonight, starting with greys anatomy. Going to make a list of some sw ingredients and get my bake/cook on over the weekend! And get...

They were a great munchie snack on an evening when your feeling naughty and carrot sticks and fruit just arnt cutting it! Lol x

Another day on track! Woop!! so food was slightly revised breakfast- 1/2 packet porridge with cinnamon fruit salad no snack- didn't have time lunch- leftover spicy aubergine lasagna (2 syns) clementine blueberries dinner- mash potato cakes ( spinach mushroom and bacon) with plum tomatoes...

hmmm I like the idea of yoghurt with it. Checked out the syns for the yoghurtsnac I'd got in from lidl, assumed they'd be free! 2 syns each! Won't be buying them again. I think the cottage cheese white sauce will definitely be worth trying it, will be great if I like it! Had those Quorn nuggets...

I can eat egg in cake and stuff, I used to be highly intolerant, so can't stomach things that taste vaguely eggy. That might be ok. Don't like cottage cheese either but heard it's completely different when cooked? Yeah that was me that had problems at work! Lol. Things just got worse at that...

I love your ideas but unfortunately I dont eat egg :-( love lasagna tho. What do you do for the cheese sauce tho? So just been and tried to see what I can make from the fridge, attempting potato cakes which are now in the oven. Tried to fry them but with no eggs to bind and no oil they wernt...

So feel like I've got through day 1! Hooray! Stuck almost completely to plan. I took a small roll to eat with my soup, wholemeal of course, and I weighed it, was 31g so I guess equivalent of 1/2 hex b. the clementine I took for lunch for disgusting, so had a syn free yoghurt instead. Just...

Thanks Hun- good to be back- feeling determined! X

Hi Hun, sending massive hugs your way! Love your pics, it's like being with you it's fab! Xxxxx

Hi Hun, It's been really nice catching up on your convo from today- it's got me very inspired and wanting to try out new recipes!! thinking I'm going to have to finally try some Dahl loaf! And that 1/2 syn roulade. Think I'm going to make a list for shopping :-) xxx

Bank holiday restart! Hi, Not sure if anybody is still on board, but going to give this another go. I've been really trying with self improvement lately, but my main thing is that I'm really really not happy with my weight, so after giving myself a good talking to in the shower tonight, I...

Food update for yesterday b- banana, muller light lunch- 2 little breads (hex b) toasted with little spaghetti hoops on, yoghurt, apple bag, 1 stick kitkat (2.5 syns) dinner- 1 small slice papa johns pizza no I'm not crazy I did only have 1 stick of kitkat- my pregnant friend Laura had food...

Thanks guys, I lost 1lb tonight, so although not a lot for week 2, I wasn't really great on plan for parts of the weekend. So I'm happy that at least my scales are going downwards. :-) food today- b- melon, pineapple, strawberries, yoghurt snack- alpen light (hex b) lunch- pasta pot (4 syns)...

Your present ideas sound so cute and arty, everyone will love them! I had all intentions this year of making some homemade soap, it takes 6 weeks for it to set so no soap this year. Im awful at heaped teaspoons, especially if I'm doing gravy, it's so bloody synful hope you enjoy your relaxing...

So I made leek and potato soup this afternoon, and a butternut squash soup this afternoon, but when it came to it, I really didn't fancy it for tea.. I cooked led up a little Quorn and veg stir fry with black bean sauce, probably 2.5 syns worth. I had pineapple with strawberries dipped in...

Try not to over think things Hun, just relax into things :-) you'll find unexpected things are the best Hun :-) xxx

Oh Hun, wish there was something I could say, but I know your really fed up now. I think you just need to try to keep positive, go back to basics, 1/3 super free on every meal, stop eating when full blah blah, you know how to do it Hun, but main thing remember you can do it! Then you can :-)...

Hi Hun, hope your ok :-) must have been nice to have someone after you. I know he's a bit young but might be no harm in going for dinner or something might make a new friend :-) xxx

Hi ladies, was a bash to the back of my head, the dentist pulled the X-ray machine out leaving it above my head. I am back at work unfortunately, feeling exhausted really, but got the afternoon off, so going to make the most of it. TV, a bit of washing and I hope to make some yummy thick...

Hi Hun, it sucks when your just waiting around for someone else, and I totally get the comfort eating, I'm awful when I'm on my period! How nice of the guy downstairs to comment! It must be nice for people you've not seen to say things, like a little boost :-) hope your our sister had a nice...

Hi Hun, how's things going? I used to use quark a lot, feeling a bit inspired to try it again. I found before that fresh herbs were the best thing to flavour it to make it more yummy. Your potato bake sounds yummy! Think I need to get more adventurous in the kitchen again! Xxx

Hi Hun, hope your ok and had a nice weekend. Where do you get your soba noodles from? Xx

Hi ladies, sorry that I've not posted in a few days. I got hit in the head very hard at work Friday afternoon with the x-Ray machine, and have been suffering concussion since :-/ food hasnt been been amazing but not awful either friday- b- weetabix, yoghurt, melon lunch- jacket potato with...

Hi Hun, did you have a good night out? Xx

Hi ladies, I'm waiting for college to start so I thought I'd do a quick update on food plans for the day. Breakfast- 1x mini toast (1/2 hex b), with little tins of spaghetti shreks, melon and pineapple lunch- leftover pasta, apple dinner- sausage (not sure on syns), onions, carrots, green...

Sounds like your well and truly back on plan Hun :-) looking good. I'm feeling inspired, I might have a vege day tomorrow xxx

Hi beautiful ladies, another successful day in the world of Emma :-) had a bit of a hectic morning, my brother forgot his pass to get back to the house, while working the dog, so big sis to the rescue and I had to go and pick him and my pooch up. So was running late... Didn't have time to...

Hi lady, you should definitely freeze up the odd meal, me and chris were both getting in late tonight and defrosted a frozen portion of chilli, was amazing to come home and just heat it up in a pan. No nom xx

I'm looking forward to a longer post too :-) xx

Good luck with uni tomorrow Hun, I'm sure you'll do great, take a snack for the car journey home too, and it's fab of you that your taking your own tea!! Especially giving up macaroni cheese, yum! Xxx

Thanks ladies, I'm happy for either a sw recipe or non sw, but yummy is a must, I need them to sell!! He he xx

Happy days! Hi ladies, I am one very happy lady!! I have had another lovely day on plan, and had an afternoon of first aid training. Traffic was awful going to and from work today and meant that I got to group late, but in just enough time to sit in on the image therapy and I got weighed...

Sounds fab Sarah, I love a bit of leek and potato soup. I fancied it tonight but I haven't got any potatoes in :-( keep up your fabulous work xx

Hi ladies, had a good sw day :-) made a lovely curry creation for lunch and just had a yummy chicken pie for dinner. and most amazing of all, I managed to avoid all the cakes/brownies etc that the girls had baked to sell at work! Yay! So today- early lunch- cauli curry creation snack-...

Hi Hun! Falling in love is doing you well even if not your waist, your looking fab! And very happy!! i don't think your weigh in will be too bad. Nice to have you back, I went AWOL too, so I know what you mean, my first fu week sort of back, and it is taking some effort. Xxx

Omg! You did amazing while you were away! Makes me feel guilty for tucking into pizza on Saturday! Shame about your room! What did you go away for? Anything in particular? X

So food hasn't been too bad the last few days but far from ideal for a first week..... friday was to plan but instead of jacket potato for tea, we had Chinese, tried to make good choices tho. Satursay food diary- B- banana and yoghurt lunch- nandos, chicken, spicy rice, salad and halloumi and...

Hi guys :-) nice to be back actually. Managed to stick to my plan today, so day 2 complete, hadn't had many syns so had 2 little wraps with dinner so quite high on syns. Syns today- 1 Cadbury finger (1 syn) 2 little wraps (12 syns), fajita powder (2 syns) so all 15 today but stuck to my plan...

Hi Hun, how are you getting on? hope your well. How's uni going? Good luck for weigh in today, I'm sure you'll do great xxr

Soph you are doing amazing!! Look at you with nearly 6 stone off!! No wonder people are noticing!! And you should be so proud. Whats with the gluten free? Wish London wasn't so far for me, me and mum want to the wonderland but wasn't open when we came down the other week. Xx

New group has a great energy, not many people had stayed at group because of fireworks but that was really nice to start with a small group. Actually really looking forward to next week already xx

Day 1 of mission skinny Hi all, i know it looks as though I came and disappeared again but I haven't. Lol. I am here. I went to find the sw group last Wednesday in the dark after work and after driving around for 40 mins, asking several people where the class was including a doctors surgery, I...

Hi Sarah, and anybody else that are still paying attention after I abandoned you all. I think I needed a break, to regroup myself and give myself a talking to. Had a LOT going on with life, just finding at the minute, I don't have time to breath, got so much going round in my head. Anyway, I...

Hi ladies, thank you for all of your kind words, it's so appreciated. My cousin seems ok, as well as can be expected. But there's been no bad news, so think that's all we can hope for at the minute. Trying to get myself back into the right frame of mind, but struggling a bit. It was weigh in...

Hi ladies, sorry that I seem to have disappeared again. I had some awful news Friday morning. My cousin fell off a balcony in a club onto her head, and all we knew to start with was she was in theatre and she might not make it. Luckily we had a miracle, and they've drained a lot of blood and...

Hi ladies, managed to get a good nights sleep but I was mid dream when my alarm woke up so rudely, and I think I could have done with another hour. Oh well, might get it Sunday. Feeling quite positive about the plan in general, but think I might try next week to write down everything I eat as...

Hi all.... Sorry but too tired to do a proper update. I've been fairly good but pretty much eating my full syns. Had my first day at college today, went really well, but then it was back to work. Been and done a bit of a food shop on the way to pick my brother up for work, so got some Veges...

Sounds like your doing really well at the minute my lovely! I don't like fish, so I mostly don't like sushi. I did find hoisin duck sushi in the tescos by work tho, and liked the California duck rolls. i think proper sushi would be wasted on me. Lol. I've been fancying frozen yoghurt lately...

Hmmm, might try a variation on that. I don't like beans, but thinking maybe a potato cake of some kind maybe ham and veg or something... Yummy! Love all these great ideas! Thank you ladies! X

Hello... Thought ud do a little update before I fall asleep. Lol. Had a good day, a bit high on syns I think but good, my sister is ok, sore and tired but hoping for the all clear for her soon. Grandma is settling in her new house, she loves it bless her, looking forward to getting to see her...

So, I'll try to do a quick catch up for my long post I managed to delete last night. Food yesterday- yoghurt ryvita minis (hex b) grapes morrocan chicken salad (4 syns), chips (5 syns) broccoli and cheese pasta n sauce (1.5 syns) with ham and mushroom (hex a, half for milk, half for cheese) my...

Ging we can do it!! Day 2 has started off well. :-) mylo is super cute, sometimes he sits next to you and leans in for a cuddle. He's so gorgeous with it. I never thought I'd love an animal so much. Hes like a big fluffy baby that lets you sleep, you feed twice a day and you don't have the same...

Well done on your lovely loss Hun! Keep it up! Nice to have you back sweetie! Xx

The post kept the pic of mylo giving me cuddles. Lol. Xx

Oh no!!! I just wrote a really long post and somehow deleted it instead of posting. I'm too tired to rewrite it all, so will update tomorrow but stuck to plan today. And I've updated my stats from my weight this morning, has horrible as it was :-( xxxx

Your right, I could have whipped up something... I'll bear that in mind. Even Chris can make pesto pasta! Lol. Thanks for the compliment! You won't realise how much it means but I hate my legs, I always feel like they're enormous and they never seem to loose weight, think its a flattering photo...

the takeaways were good but looking forward to not being bloated constantly! And trust me you would not have been jealous of my scales this morning :-) lol. Skinny head back on- resisted cookie chocolate tonight... Xx

Well done on your loss, every little helps :-) I hate days like that.... I end up just sitting hungry until I decide sometimes. Lol. Xx

Enjoy your weekend and think about karma. I like to know that the better people come out on top x

Weakness with illness Hi ladies, this may be a long one, got quite a lot of catching up to do... Had a pretty rubbish week, I was really unwell :-( i lost my voice Tuesday, Wednesday, went to work Thursday and got sent home... Had a huge fever, and it was hurting to breath. Was lucky the...

Yeah... I've calmed down. Realised she's just a piece of work, we all have to deal with them in life, and I'll just distance myself so she can't hurt me again... Think that's the best option... I hate falling out with people, puts me in a huge sense of unease. X

I always get tonsilitis when I'm run down Hun, tonsils are supposed to be your bodies first line of defense. Maybe up your vitamin c? Food is looking good tho Hun! Think I'm in need of some inspiration :-) how are you coping at the minute? Xx

Hi Hun, hope your ok? Xxx

Hi hun, how are you getting on? Xx

Hi all, no one is around to cover me at work, so my review meeting has to wait until tomorrow, but my manager did pretty much say I'm being kept on, obviously not those words. But I'm pleased. Feeling rubbish and head is pounding but just made a good choice for lunch. Chris has got a sickness...

Hello all, thanks cheese thief, I'm pulling a very odd face tho. Lol. Think I need a pep talk. Im not feeling 100%- viral tonsillitis again, so not sleeping well. But I got talked into having chippy for dinner last night, and the. Sat and ate a ton of chocolate fudge!!! Naughty Emma!!! well...

Oh I'm so glad he finally told you- he sounds like a keeper. Understanding that's he's worried about you, that must have been so scary for you! Glad that bit has sort of stopped for you. Know it probably sounds ridiculous but have any drs ever mentioned yoga or Pilates, there supposed to be...

Naughty naughty weekend! Omg I lost it. I've eaten and drank what I wanted for 2 entire days, sweets, choc, food, magnum, shots, cider, sausage butties, briwnies, key lime pie, mozzarella sticks, dough balls, chilli, Chinese..... Honestly I've been awful. Scales Wernt very nice this morning...

Hi Hun, looks like your doing well on plan so far! I'll definitely subscribe Hun. All those trips will be great motivation for you :-) xx

Ha. This made me really laugh. Think that would annoy me too. Your not having to pull her weight are you? Foot wasn't as bad as burning my hands could have been so much worse. It's just a little mark now. Xxx

Hi Hun, have just caught up with all of your extremely long posts! Lol. I was thinking, a photographer I know does like teaching days with other photographers, maybe it would be worth g doing something like that with somebody other than you, but a professional still. He might take constructive...

Hi Hun, glad to hear your coping, and were all here to all here to help you get back on track in any way we can. Xxx

Hi Hun, diaries looking good, I'm sure you'll be great with your WI today- good luck. What do u do with your fruit salad cous cous, never thought of it as a sweet thing, but I guess it's quite plain.... Xx

TGIF! Hi lovely ladies, BBQ food didn't quite go to plan..... But I had a good night. My wholemeal rolls had gone hard, and we replaced them with fresh white ones. Had a bit of flora on my corn (1 syn), 2 small rolls (8 syns), onion relish (2 syns), wine (5 syns) plus I worked out 10 syns...

Welcome cheese thief! Lovely to have you :-) sounds like you've got some amazing trips planned! Well jel! Lol. Have u got a link to your diary? Xx

Omg, I remember you talking about the lady you work with, she does sound as bad as Hannah now I think about it. Think I've just been lucky so far, I think most of the people I've worked with have been lovely people, oh well you live and you learn. :-) im thinking grazing steadily on sw food...

Thursday catch up x Hi lovely ladies, thank you all for your much needed support. When I mentioned it on Tuesday, she denied all knowledge, said her bf washed them and packed them. To me that's still unacceptable, that made me angrier that she was trying to blame him. Anyway, I got through...

Oh that really sucks! I'm one of your dreaded people that binge all the time and don't suffer like that, you poor thing. I really hope your body sorts itself out and you get a massive loss next week. Try not to think of it month by month when it's like this, try to think of how far you've come...

Hi all, I have definitely been emotional eating, I have been awful, mc Donald's, takeaways, Krispy kremes, the works :-/ so this is why I joined sw. I really should learn to eat better!!! But I've done a big shop, the fridge is full, and I'm at mums for the weekend next weekend, do definitely...

Hi all, sorry didn't catch up yesterday, had a pretty rotten day. I managed the gym, but only a 35 min session as Chris had taken the car. After walking mylo, I then walked 25 mins to the gym, did 35 min work out and then Chris picked me up on his way home from work, so I didn't have to...

I think you look awesome in ur pics! The photographer in you is hard on yourself! Lol. Can see why your trying to save the top! Xx

Foods looking good as usual, trying to take some inspiration off people ATM. Feel stuck in a rut, especially with my hex's. xxx

Hmmm I love my choc all bran :-) looking forward to pics of your outfit. And I don't care what you say about being photogenic, your beautiful! I am surprised you've not had anybody comment! Proud of you for eating fish, I can't stand the stuff. Maybe the odd fish finger sandwhich if its got...

Heellllooo. Its humpday ladies :-D It's my baby brothers birthday today, he's 23! So will be out for drinks tonight, but thinking I'll offer to drive and save us the taxi fares. We also bought him a yorkie birthday cake, which I cannot wait to try later :-) im on a half day today as working...

im deficient in vitamin b12, which hugely affects your energy levels. My body doesn't store it properly or something. I'm supposed to have them every 3 months, but due to the move and struggling to get a dr, this should be my first one since feb and I cannot wait!! I might feel human again! Xx

Weigh day miracle Hi ladies, i had such a positive Monday to start the week :-) started late cos had doctors, 4 viles of blood taken (ouch), and I'm booked in again Thursday morning, hopefully to have my jabs :-) work was pretty quiet, and late afternoon someone came up from cafe Nerro and...

My problem isn't that it gives me a dicky tummy any more. It's if I've had a high fat diet, plus alcohol, I get these excruciating pains right from my stomach down my right side. I've got lots of strong meds, but can't function on them so end up staying still laying down and sleeping for hours...

Wow! Check out your bingo wing busting! Sounds pretty intense. Not sure I'd be able to do it at all. My brother has got these weird press up bars that you hold onto to do press ups. He said it stops you pushing with your chest at all so it's just arms. I'll maybe try them out with some lady...

Your gain fairy bit made me lol on my walk to work. It sucks to gain every month but at least you know ur not doing something wrong and it comes straight back off again. :-) xxx

5 day catch up Hi all, hope your ok? Sorry I've disappeared have been busy all week and then not been well this weekend. Going to do a rough food catch up. Wednesday eve at cinema- had goats cheese pizza, and some popcorn at the cinema thursday berries apple and alpen bar jacket potato...

Think I need to get me some space raiders, not had them in years! Nom nom. Do you know lincoln chick? X

Morning :-) so I was very naughty and easily led last night! I had chip shop chips! Had been doing so well. Lol. Oh well another day another dawn. Going to the cinema tonight with my friend/ practice manager. We're going to watch dispicable me. We both found it hilarious! She was in a great...

yes I popped and stopped! Lol. Doritos and dip on the other hand I had to steer completely clear of otherwise I eat them until they're gone! Its nice, I've finally got a plan for my little life, although might not graduate til mid 30's. lol i would totally love it if subway did wholemeal, I...

Thanks ladies. I live at waddington but work in the centre of town. Do you know lincoln? X

Sorry keep asking for recipes but what's your recipe for your homemade BBQ sauce. We go through tons, I'd happily make some up to go with chips. Lol x

Woop woop! 2st award!!! :-D I am so unbelievably happy ( and quite tired due to the horrific hour. Lol), I've only gone and done it!! I've officially lost over 2st since I started in January :-D feel like I'm back in the game, enjoying watching the numbers go down again and I am determined to...

it might just make it difficult to have kids and do, I'll be about 34 to start thinking about having kids, and married 11 years. Lol. Suppose doesn't make a difference these days xxx

Quick food update before I disappear off to bed- I'm up at 5.30am to walk mylo! Omg I might die! Breakfast- melon, blueberry yoghurt early lunch- vege pasta snack- alpen light snack- alpen light dinner- cheese (hex a), and tomato on toast (hex b). Supernoodles cherries the tiny pieces of...

after a little more research looks like I'll have to wait for Chris to leave the RAF, or be apart and I really don't fancy living apart. As much as I love him, I really don't think we could live apart for years. Thank you for help changing my name, not really new to SW any more. And managed an...

Sounds really yum day. How do you make your Dahl loaf? I totally get what you mean about being more relaxed with sw than normal diets. Now I know what I'm doing, this is more like a lifestyle for me, making healthy choices and stuff. Rather than obsessing about what I'm going to eat, and being...
