seriously considering slim and save - opinions and experiences please!

aww sweets, weight is just the worst thing ever to deal with

i just have to keep reminding myself it only needs to be done ONCE. then when its done, its done and i can eat food again, but like a sensible person.
and youve got stacks of time between now and october, we can keep ourselves on track with that being both our goal month (my OH's bday will be on the 31st, so thats ghe first major milestone i want to be slim for).

got swede chips and cheesy tuna bake in the oven atm. tomorrow is a nandos trip with some family, so butterfly chicken and side salad it is! the rest of the day will be shakes to make up for it.

im trying to make a nice list of dinner ideas to keep things different/give me things to look forward too. ive found some little knorr jelly stock things, but theyre herb infusions (5 carbs per cube). so im thinking of using half to make a nice, herby swede mash with roast chicken breast later on this week. also putting courgette soup with soy soaked prawns ontop and cheesy ham stuffed mushrooms on the list too.

Yes 100%. It was my bday last tues and omg I didn't cope very well I felt horrible!!! I nearly cried at least twice just because I was so disappointed with myself and I suppose I never expected to feel like that at 23!! I hated it, I cancelled the girls night out too cos I just couldn't face going out and pretending to be happy when I wasn't!!! So I just made a decision that for my 24th I wouldn't feel like that!! I've said it before and never done it but this year I just felt my lowest ever!!

Yer our holiday is 1st October so almost exactly 4 months to just get my head down and get on with it now!! Yes let's do it together and support each other that would be great!!

That sounds like a good plan. I've got quite a few salmon fillets to have - I got the pre cooked ones from tesco which are delicious and some are garlic and chilli and some are garlic and dill yummy. I'm gonna have mainly those or chicken for dinner and I'm loving roasted veg atm so that dinner would feel defo like a treat

We can defo do this xxxx

oh my lovely i know how you feel! its awful when you dont feel good and dont want to go out. but at least youve turned it around and made it motivation! sometimes we just need to reach those places to really make proper changes.

the salmon fillets sound really good, especially the garlic and chilli ones!

my nandos trip got cancelled because one of our group had dental work and currently has stiches in her mouth, so im quite happy to be staying at home and sticking 100% to the plan. had a lovely cafe latte shake for lunch and plan for herby swede mash and chicken for dinner tonight. will probs have a bar mid afternoon and make some vanilla cake bites later for my bedtime cup of tea.

today is only day 4 and im nearly 5lbs down. making a real effort to drink all my water this time too.

just had to endure a tesco shop with my sister, who bought cider, pringles and chocolate. i bought ham, courgettes, mushrooms and sparkling water. hate her juuuuust a little bit right now!

Hey lovely.

Yes it is horrible. I have felt so low over the past few weeks. Today me and oh had a MASSIVE argument like HUGE was horrible but all ok now but the major thing that came out of it was that he has picked up on how I feel and he knew exactly why!! Here's me trying to hide it!!! Not doing well am i!! He actually ended up teary eyed because he hates to think that I'm so down by my weight because to him he doesn't see a problem. But now I've said to him I'm back to the shakes Tomo and gym and that's that!! Until I'm a size ten at least!

Oooo ouch stitches in mouth doesn't sound nice!!! But good news you can be 100%!! That's fab!!

Lol grrrr envious!!!! Butttttt just think when we are done with this then that can be in your trolley and by then you will be eating sensibly

Hope ur having a nice weekend xxxxx

yes, keeping yourself busy is the key! i went to the library this week to get myself lots of books to keep my mind off food. though it is annoying having to stick to sparkling water in the sunshine when i really want to be in a beer garden somewhere!

my dinner is safely in the oven atm, used up all my packs now for today, so will just have to make do with a cup of tea later on.

got a few social occasions later this week - nandos trip with work (so butterfly chicken and salad for me)
then my aunts 60th bday on saturday at an indian restaurant (this time tandoori chicken and salad for me)

hoping to get through those without a blip. going to a spa on the 15th, which will involve food and a wedding on the 22nd, so ive got to keep my food choices reasonable. the spa seems to do alot of things like piri piri prawns and things, so no pizzas to tempt me! the wedding will be trickier, i had to opt for the veggie risotto and salmon main, but thats 3 weeks away, so 'll hopefully have lost abit by then!
