can i do this?...... mmmmmmm i wonder

[pipski76]

Day has been a bit up and down had bf late...porridge which then made lunch late... fresh fish baked with ww chips...which in turn means i wont eat dinner till about 8.... lean pork sliced with loads of veg carrot swede green beans and peas all in a curry/stew!
Iv hardly eaten any fruit today and hardly had anything to drink! That is another thing i struggle with is drinking. My other half is always banging on that i dont drink enough but i dont drink unless im thirsty sometimes im lucky if i have 2 pints aday x :sigh: :wave_cry:
But tomorrow is a new day... how has everyone else been getting on?

one of the things i have discovered is my weight is affected by how much i drink.
like you some days i hardly drink any thing cos i don't feel thirst.

I read something somewhere about mistaking hunger for thirst so now try to have a drink when i think i am hungry amazingly it often works

i now aim at at least 2 lts a day

food looks yum for today, just got in from work so still deciding on tea

have a nice weekend xxx

Well done - 3 lbs is an amazing start
I always find it easy to fill a bottle of 1.5litre juice ( just keep the old bottle) and drink it throughout the day

Found myself having a bit of 'meh' day today didnt want to get out of bed and feeling like i cant be arsed so tried to have a big luch as i skipped breakfast.... 3 eggs scrambled 3 slices of toast which 1 slice will count as syns and a whole tin of baked beans.
Formy dinner i really fancy pasta with bacon and philly light .......... i need to get back into this and stop feeling sorry for myself x

Hi everyone feeling a little bit better i guess it doesnt help that even though i moved here 2 years ago i still havent really made any friends i feel comfy with as i do with my friends back home. That leaves me getting bored and sometimes feeling a bit meh which in turn makes me want to eat! Food is def my comfort!
But for BF i had 2 friend eggs with lean cut bacon baked beans and 2 slices of whole meal bread! Not a bad start x

How are all you guys feeling today x

Hi Pippa, Sounds like you have made a good start to me... well done!
There's bound to be lots of those "off" days but just try to forget about it and get back to the good stuff a.s.a.p.
All the very best to you...

Onwards and Downwards!!

 

[EmmyR1984]

Brilliant start to today, hope the rest of the day has gone just as well xx

Hey Pippa!

I know when I first joined SW almost 5 years ago, it took me a day or two to actually get to grips with it but then once I had, I didn't look back. I lost loads of weight over the subsequent 14 months and it was only through my own complacency that I ended up putting it all back on - and more! So I rejoined last June, because (like you!) my knees were suffering. But that was not the only thing that prompted me to rejoin - it was seeing pictures of myself looking like a 60-year old blimp that really got me. I'm only 47 (with a mental age of 16!) and it was a real shock. So far, I've shifted just under 3.5 stone (although it was more before Christmas - I put on 6 pounds over the holiday period!) and feel so much better for it. I can walk a couple of miles at a time without any twinges or aches and I'm hoping to be jogging by the Summer.

And don't forget - you can make friends at your group! Stay for IMAGE therapy as much as possible - it really helps to share those hints and tips. A bit like being on here, really

All the best,

Paula x

good evening, how has your day been ?

you struck a cord with me about friends, i have had a quite nomadic life, parents and husband were both in the forces so i make friends but have very few close ones.
since settling here 11 yrs ago when hubby left the forces i haven't made any close ones too ashamed of my size

don't think i remember how now

hope you have had a good weekend xxxx

 

[chelseabun]

hi pippa,
your brekkie sounded super yum! i allways expect huge weight loss my first week and never get it doesnt seem to matter what diet i do and i have alot to lose! i really have to look at the bigger picture!
It can be tough being away from your freinds i to moved away from my home town 2 years ago, think chinese takeaway and red wine have been my best friend for the last 2 years!! he he!
I made a lovely cherry chocolate low syn cake today 4 syns a slice so now going have that with a cuppa and watch sherlock!!! look forward to reading more of your diary!! xx

 

[pipski76]

Thank you everyone i feel like im making some good friends here who i can come on and moan at when things dont go to bad like last night.........
had a lovely roast with plenty of veg (and a friend has now told me how to make syn free gravy with smash) then later on in the night i had some cruncy nut cornflakes as i just couldnt satisfy my hunger x :cry:
But today is a new day and back to boring you all with what im going to stuff in my mouth today lol
Breakfast ..... golen syrup oats so simple sachet (having probs with this my leader said i can have 1 as a hex and count 2 syns also someone else says no then a friend who is also a leader said she has checked the leader forums and some say yea you can others say no you cant so im at a loss but they need to be eaten) and a skinny latte xx
So how are all you lot? x

 

[EmmyR1984]

Sounds confusing on the oatso simple hope you get a better answer one way or the other soon

Things are good here, slowly settling into my sw routine lol

 

[pipski76]

Well i feel like iv been a bit of a porker..well there is no feeling i am!
Had my good breakfast lunch was a sweet pot with tuna and philly light then........
my friend rang who i havent seen in ages and wanted to take me out for lunch and i just couldnt say no! so i had a steak baked pot peas and mushrooms........
now its 7pm and im hungry so im going to have another meal! Talk about being a porker eh? x

Hi

Hope you're feeling better. I'm just the same as you mood wise though. Heard on the radio that today is supposed to be the most depressing of the year. I can sure believe it.

Looking on the bright side - - -

The only way is up!!

 

[chelseabun]

Hi pippa,
Sounds like you have had a good day on plan! i was back to work today after a week off! i find it much easier to stick to sw when im working! i even walked to and from the train station about 20 min brisk walk each way (or maybe it feels brisk cos im so chubby and unfit!)
I have 1xheb left and was thinking of having oat so simple but its my first weigh in wednesday and i would be gutted if it effected my loss!! is there anyone on here who can clear this up for us?
would love the recipe for the gravy using smash!!! i love gravy!!
xx

 

[pipski76]

Hiya everyone! The gravy..... she told me to make up veg stock as per instruction then add smash to thicken up.....sounds wrong but is lush!!!!
Plan didnt go so well as had a merdira (think that is spelt wrong) cake in the house and its gone....i would like to say the fairy's ate it but then i would be fibbing to you all! :break_diet:
But back on it today porridge and fruit for breakfast and lunch is pasta with chopped bacon ll fat removed!
dinner is spag bol in the slow cooker.
I WILL BE GOOD TODAY!

 

[pipski76]

ohhhhhhhh HAS ANYONE TRIED THE SMASH PIZZA??? X
