Dear Diary...

[xyandz]

Hellooo,

I'm new here. I've always used this website as a point of reference so thought it was about time I should join so I can help out every once in a while as people have helped me so much! (Thank you btw!)

I restarted my diet 3 days ago - 14th Jan 2011 - and I weighed 159lbs.

In May 2009 I weighed 190lbs, so about 13 and half stone?? Since then I have obviously lost a fair bit of weight, and keeping it off hasn't been a problem. surprisingly.
But as I was dieting alone the diet fell to the wayside and, although I've maintained, I've stopped.

So...My weekly trips to GBK with my boyfriend have stopped! My little poster in the kitchen by the oven is back up! and I've already had a fight with a GU chocolate pudding...which ended with the spoon in the drawer and the pudding in the fridge

BRING IT.

hehehehe

Anyway, a little about me.... I'm 23, have a lovely (if not annoyingly skinny) boyfriend and I am a vegetarian. I have found the slimming world concept really works for me because of quorn being an unlimited and my boyfriend liking to eat lots. I've always cooked from scratch so it's the weighing of the cheese that is important for me!

Anyway, that's enough about me - I'm going to be searching and reading all about you for the next hour!

Speak soon! xxx

I could say the pizza was 10 syns plus 2 HExs??? As it was less cheese and only veg on top... it is the base I really need to know the syns of.

Also, didn't realise how synterific fruit juice was.
EAK!

Does it make any difference that it is fresh juice not from concentrate??
