sorry have been absolutely rubbish at posting in minimins!!
just weighed. lost 0.1kg which doesnt add up to 0.5 pound, so it's a STS, at 68.8kg = 151.36 pounds.
honestly honestly, I haven't really been doing sw lately. I've just been eating normally, cutting down fat where possible, but not counting syns and make myself have my HEx's. work's been very busy, last week was doing at least 10 hours each day, there's a day where I worked for 13 hours, it's hard enough to resist temptations from crisps and chocolate, there isn't any "space" in my brain to do syn counting (and I'm always sceptical of "having to have your HEx's everyday" - how can 2 sugary alpen light bars everyday be good for you??)
sorry that I haven't been visiting your threads recently, I'll try to pop by to say hi when I have a spare moment
thanks for popping by here though - you are so kind to think of me!! xxx

I've sts again this week. Not surprising as I'm not really following plan. No counting syn no making sure i have a third superfree.
Just wish I'm more disciplined as I do wanna lose at least ten more pounds. Really need to put my acts together.

Thanks for your encouragement Valerie. I really need to put my act together. If someone can lose 20 st I should be able to lose 20 pounds...... I'm the only one to blame for not sticking to plan. I've upped my veg intake, just needa keep doing that and stop buying sinful snacks to tempt myself!

Well done for not having that cake.
My will power is abit rubbish at the moment, have been having things like Oreo, crisps, hobnob snack bar etc. Sometimes they don't taste that good anyway. (but Oreo and kettle chips are good lol) I wonder why I'm doing this to myself.
WI today, gained 0.5 pound which is quite good bearing in mind I've probably been having 30 syns a day bcos of all these naughty snacks.
I'd say snacking is my biggest problem. I do have some fruits as snack but if I'm being completely honest I prefer kettle chips or small piece of cake. Sigh I wish I can change my taste buds...
