[cutchibear]

What about u vix? How long have u been doing sw?
I only started Sunday so intrigued to see how first wk goes! Loving that I don't have to weigh out my pasta, potatoes etc can eat more eggs, baked beans, cheese! I can sacrifce more sweet snacks (or use syns!) knowing that I'm having bigger portions at meals.
Oo alpen bars - 2 for 1 HexB is fab I think!! Xxx

 

[vixp]

Ive been on it 3months this time have done it in past ive lost 12lb but have had a few bad weeks food wise and drinking was my down fall so cut a lot of that out now because its wasted syns xxx

 

[cutchibear]

yes drinking is normally my problem too as i can't stop at a couple and then that leads to the munchies. Luckily this weekend I'm working plus now on antibiotics so won't be drinking!

[cutchibear]

Sorry only just checking in - second day of gala done though ended early due to torrential weather! Totally shattered now n returned to a messy house....men!! Really didn't need that, but going to allow myself large glass of red later to destress!!
Anyway something to smile about....taking into account when I first weighed in last Sunday I had pigged out on Saturday n all that was prob a couple of extra pounds (that wud go easily) I've lost 6.5lbs!!! I just can't believe it, I haven't got that much to shift (ideally 15lbs to get me to 9st) so I'd never expect that much in wk 1!! Shall now aim for 1lb a wk n I cud be around 9st 3.5 for my hols!
Starting the 30 day shred tomoro too - really want to tone my wine belly!!!
