New to SW and thinking i am having too much!

[zoe302]

I keep hearing so many good things about SW and have been looking through your food diary. Love the sound of the food. Me to a T!! Could I get away with just the magazine? It would be hard to get to a class right now.

I would say that you could do it, just make sure you know all the rules and stick to it. I know there are plenty of people on here who do it at home, like Ali* who posts on my thread.
It really is the best I wish someone had told me about SW years ago!
Good luck and let us know how you do xxx

Zoe, I keep forgetting to ask you about your czech beer - where do you get it from etc? It sounds fab at 1 syn, imagine it isn't quite a pint of cool Peroni but if it tastes like beer then I would like to give it a try!

Just discovered mini-milks on offer in Tesco at only 1.5 syns each. They are even more "mini" than I recall from my youth, but even though I needed 2 for the full effect, still only 3 syns in total.

They do the Czech lager in Sainsburys in fact it is there own make. Low alcohol, so it is 0.5 %. When I first started drinking it I thought it tasted disgusting, and I had to mix it with ordinary beer. Now I drink it by itself. The bottles are 500ml and cost £1.13, which is quite expensive, compared to some of the deals you get on other beers.

Nice once you get used to it-which I did xx

[zoe302]

See it looks good but I have skipped 3 day this week so I have been doubling up on the days that I do exercise so I am not sure how good it will be

Ah tomorrow will tell xxx

Happy and sad

I lost 1 lbs, which is a loss, but I only needed one more to get two stones!!!

Ah well save that for next week shall we. Still a bit shocked it wasnt more baring in mind my exercise and 100% food optimising. Perhaps I didnt eat enough fruit this week like I did last week

You will get there next week, you are doing so well, and have been my motivation to exercise....

 

[Shrimpy]

Boo! I hate when that happens but, YEY! More lbs shifting off!!!!

 

[zoe302]

Oh I also forgot to say. Last night in group we did an inhouse woman of the year and I have been nominated!!!

I was very shocked about it tbh, because I don't feel I deserve it at all compared to the 2 girls I nominated.

So although I don't think I will win I am very happy to be nominated.

Ps sorry I havent put up food for a few days. I will start again today xxx

 

[monkeychops1819]

Wowzer again.......a pound down is a pound down hun; sorry you didn't get the 2lbs that you wanted though, but only a week to wait and you will get that 2 stone AND MORE is my prediction....!!!!!!

Btw, can I vote for your inhouse woman thingy, you are very inspirational to us lot here! If I could, I would have a trip to Belfast to just put that vote in......ha ha ha X X X X

Thanks chick. I just feel undeserving because I havent been at it long, and i get my inspiration from everyone on here (must be like a catch 22 thing-we all inspire each other)

Hey dont get me wrong, if I win I would be extremely happy as winner gets this lovely pen thing-and as a teacher I love a good pen lol

 

[monkeychops1819]

A pen???!! A PEN!!!!???? Not sure about that as a prize - what about a years supply of Czech beer, or bns or similar?

 

[Shrimpy]

Ooooh! 'grats on the nomination! Well done SkinniMini Zoe!

 

[zoe302]

Ah Monkeychops, it is a paper weight pen thing which is shiny and silver and lovely!!!
