It's a very quiet forum compared to Slimming World Daniel!

I'll join you. I don't have that much to lose now so my losses are slowing right down. I'll still put myself down for 6lbs (1.5lb/week which is about my usual loss give or take a few ounces!).

 

[Annya]

OK, so that's

aesir22 9lbs..... 0lbs lost - 9lbs to go

Annya 6lbs....... 0lbs lost - 6lbs to go

Yaay I'm not alone! Lol. Just had my first snack of the day. Looking forward to lunch! Well, a banana shake lol. Going to morrisons tonight to see if they have an offer on.

 

[Annya]

If you see any Caramel SF mix it 50/50 with the banana and you get a shake that tastes like bannoffee pie....... nom nom nom

[Carley86xx]

I will join! I want to lose half a stone in April. I'm gonna start doing SF properly from Tuesday as i've been really bad lately. I hope to lose more but will be happy with half a stone at least

Try the coffee one whizzed in a blender with loads of ice - skinny frappe One of my downfalls was Starbucks full fat frappes with squirty cream on top; but now I have SF coffee, loads of ice and a shot of sugar free hazelnut syrup all blitzed in the blender then poured into a long latte glass with a small spritz of low fat squirty cream on top - divine and only around 260 cals all in :drool:

Hope you were OK with just your snack earlier - bl**dy tough when you are hungry :sigh: I've just come back from a good hour out with Lily (my daft Dobie) walking up and down the country lanes round here :chores016: I even managed 20 minutes climb into the forest - some on my hands and knees it was so steep - breathless was not the word...... Christ I was almost hyperventilating Still, think of all the calories I burned

Hang on in there - we can do this arty0011:

Nope didn't manage. A moment of weakness had me eating 2 breadbuns (one with low fat margerine) and a mullerlight. Had been doing so well but just caved

Gonna draw a line under it and try again tomorrow. Dunno what I'm gonna do when the hunger pangs come again!!

 

[kirklean]

My doc told me that sucking mini chuppa chips would stop me having sugar cravings, so I got them and they worked ! They don't have many calories in them either ;-) x

 

[aesir22]

Ooooooo good idea!!!

Never mind Daniel. As you say, today is another day. I know I am probably teaching you how to suck eggs, but try having snacky stuff that's lower in calories around so at least if you do feel ravenous the damage is limited!

A good one for me is low sugar jelly - 8 cals a serving or 32 if you want to gorge and scoff the whole bowl (which I often do!). You can add tinned fruit with the juice drained off and rinsed when you make it up if you want to make it a bit more substantial without adding horrendously to the cals. They do lots of nice flavours now too - not just boring old strawberry or orange. My current fave is lemon and lime with a small tin of mandarins in

You can also try those little wee boxes of sugar free sweeties from health food shops too..... I always have a box hanging around in my bag just in case! I adore the toffee flavour ones and recently tried strawberries and cream - they are gorgeous too

OK, just hopped on the scales. 2lbs off for me this week (Christ have I worked for it though :chores016 so I am just 0.4lbs off what I weighed a fortnight ago (depressing huh?). Still my body fat %tage is going down nicely so I must be doing something right?

Sadly, it's not April yet so I can't list it on the challenge - here's hoping for another good week next week - dunno if I can be as saintly as I have for the past 7 days again though :angel09:

Good Luck with the challenge this month. I wont join you as i set a target of 4lb last month and my body was such an arse i couldnt even lose that! I think ill get more disheartened if I cant lose 2lb let alone anything else
