I have a treat after WI on Tuesdays - my favourite is to have a haagen dais cookies and cream ice cream stick..13.5syns but so worth it!! mmmm! going to the O2 tomorrow evening so going out for dinner before.. not sure where to suggest eating!

For my 'treat' I stick a £2 coin in a jar after WI and let it build up. Hitting milestones I chuck in a fiver. I was saving this all for when I hit target to get a new wardrobe but currently I am in Desperate need of new clothes. Taking a portion of the money saved so far next month and heading to bluewater for a shopping trip. Currently up to £190 so hoping for a few more pennies to go in before then too 
I'm sure I can get the difference saved up again in time.
It should be £330 at target so.....
Only 3 more lbs to hit 6 stone and then that'll be another fiver in

I have been doing SW for just over a year. Had a fair bit to lose - well, a lot! To get to my first target it will be 10 stone exactly that I've lost. And I gotta save the pennies bow because I guarantee I will need a whole new wardrobe

Thats is a great idea! How nice will it b to go to any shop n just go mad! Well done. I think ur doing amazing really do inspire me. Im ill just now n just feel blah. Not eating well at all. I dont mean eating crap just not eating :-/ this weather is also not helping at all. Got a massage tonight so im praying tht makes me feel abit better.
How did u make ur mini goals etc? Ive just worked out my club 10 so im going to make tht my first goal but dunno time wise!!!!

I never set time scales for goals, you never know what your body is going to do and if you weren't to hit a certain weight by a certain date you could end up feeling disappointed an no one wants that!
My mini goals have been both weight and non weight related. The non weight related ones I 'celebrate' with a nice SW pud or something that feels indulgent. These goals are things like - fit into next size down, incorporate exercise, shorten length of time to cycle to x, etc. To me these have been just as important as the weight ones.
For scale targets, again it's been different things and as well as the standard half a stone, stone, 1.5 stone, etc. One of my targets was to get under 100 kilos - that seemed like such an achievement!
My current targets are to get to my 6 stone (3lbs to lose) and to get my BMI into the overweight section (10lbs to lose, and would also give me my 6.5 stone award).
You have to be realistic and true to yourself. If you have had a bad day, fine, leave it at day rather than turn it in to week. If you had a bad piece of fruit in the bowl you wouldn't throw the whole lot would you?? (well, some might but that's just being picky). And if you think that 'one biscuit' that just slipped in doesn't need to be counted..... Er yes it does. No one else is affected by your weight, only you.
Hope I haven't bored you to tears and that you feel better soon - weather is doing my head in too! Xx

If I can help anyone in anyway then I will. I never thought I'd be the one that could lose this weight but, here I am nearly 6 stone lighter! By the time I've got to target I will have lost more than my boyfriend weighs *eeek*!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm perfect but I just have a realistic approach and an open mind. And if anyone wants a chat or help then feel free to pm and I'll try my best
Have a great Friday all xxx

Very true Minky and very well put
I'm so far having another good week, fingers crossed I'll keep it up and have a good loss to show for it. I have really slow weight loss at the moment, not sure if its because I'm around target weight or what, but I want to try and get below my target weight and it doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon
