Aww guys! See this is why I come and post on here even when I feel like utter crap and even when it is just to rant haha! You always know the right things to sayWas really touched by everyone's comments so THANK YOU! You've definitely managed to raise my mood
Not sure about agreeing about being an inspiration though haha - I just come on here and moan about being off plan most of the time haha!
Ah Charl, I'm reading the Song of Ice and Fire books at the moment (the books A Game of Thrones was built on) and have just finished the second book, so watching the second seriesThe first series was a LOT closer to the reality of the book, but the second one not so much so I'm not as impressed, but it's still an amazing series regardless! If you've only watched the programme I definitely recommend the books - if you've got time between uni, kids and cooking haha!
Jen, Nando's queen of course has the answers! All the marinades are 1 syn per tbsp apart from the sweet chilli, medium and extra hot which are 1.5 syns per tbspCan't remember if you asked for them or the sauces so the sauces are 0.5 syns per tbsp apart from the BBQ and the sweet chilli which are 1 syn per tbsp
and they're all delicious!
Anyway - on to the important news! ;D WI this morning and I lost... 5lbs! All that worrying was for nothing and I'm back at 11stWell actually, it looked a tiny but under 11, but I'm not jinxing it with half pounds etc haha! Very happy with that

What's a shred?
The 30 day shred is an exercise DVD made by the fitness bird from biggest loser, its basically a circuit training session that lasts about 25mins doing strength, cardio, abs. theres 3 levels and you do 10 of each until its done, you don't actually have to do it in 30 days, but its a really good dvd for getting you into exercise if you haven't done much as you see yourself getting fitter quickly. xx
Think 20g is about 3 syns as I know the bread I use weighs 23g per slice, and one slice is 3 syns!
Hope that helps!![]()
Yep jen I would syn the 20g. I just had the pudding, was actually really good! well done daniel!
Ohhhh, Laura I just saw! 5lbs! nooo, wow, well done you missy! xxx
Couldn't agree more with Toni-anne, sw isn't a short fix diet (even tho that does work!), it really is all about a lifestyle change. I know lots stay to the plan 100% and don't split hex's or tweaks etc but it really is all about finding a place where you're happy and learning how your body reacts to certain food. I do think this way you're more likely to stick to it and keep the weight off. I do yo yo with being on/off plan but in a year now I've not put the weight back on, so I will carrying on tweaking in my own little way to make sure I continue to loose/sts

Everyone has had fab losses this week! Well done!
This might be a silly question, when people say they've lost inches is there a guide to where you should measure? I'm not even sure I know where my waist is![]()
I measure in CM as it shows more of a loss than inches (tip from my old WW consultant) it makes you feel more motivated
There are guide on the internet but your waist is where is goes in naturally or doesn't in my case lol it usually above the tummy button I'm crap at explaining things... if you go to a clothing site like M&S there usually is a diagram showing you roughly where to measure...
anyway I measure there, across my bust under it and across the top, my hips and my stomach... for that I measure around where my tummy button is. Once a month I also measure the fattest part of my thighs my calves and upper arms. As I said I measure in CM so any losses show sooner....
