Looks great! I've seen Joe's sausages mentioned a few times. Are they special SW sausages?

Congrats on losing 8lbs!

 

[xnatalie81x]

Well it is a website that sells burgers and sausages and they have a very high meat content so free. All the ones that are syn free state it next to them and they have a certificate from slimming world to prove it!!!

website can be googled if you search joe's sausages. I cannot post links yet - too new

 

[skinny_fi]

I also eat alot, but that is the beauty of SW, choose either red or green and you can eat all you want.
Congrats on your half stone.

I started picking again. Although i did not go over syns it was food i did not want and did not need so why waste my precious syns! Did have lovely walk to park and got bus to mums so kept up my 20-30min walk (every day since monday now) so hoping that the additional exercise will boost my loss!

Got my girlies and am bloated and achey and yuk. Think this would be my star weigh in but with my extra good exercise am hoping to still get a 1-3lb loss tomorrow

Today is planned and i WILL NOT stray. I am very focused on a Sunday and main meal is at 3/4 with just banana and muller at 6 so all food digested by WI - am feeling slimmer already. Am defintiely 8.5lb down but prob slightly more (wi 2moro) and i have measured myself and now am an official size 18 (was verging on a 20!) Here is to the next 10lbs coming off quickly so i can type i am officially a 16

Good day. Focused and did well on diet. Also walked to park 15mins away with kids and played there for an hour or so. Feeling good but it is now Mon am and i am due to get weighed in 3 hrs and i am bloated, constipated and nervous.......... I weighed on the wii this morning for the first time in a month (always weighed on it while doing ww) and i am 3lb down!!! Which means i am the lightest i have been for about a year!

Since i gave birth for the first time 5 years ago i have bounced from 14.7 to 16.3 and i have noticed big changes but partner said i keep losing/gaining so he will be really proud and comment when i actually recach under 14.7 and i am losing weight i have not lost before lol

So, i am the lightesti have been for over a year - very chuffed. Wonder how i will do at WI. Will update

Also off topic i handed in my notice today for my full-time job as a trainee probation officer......... very scary. 5 years i been there (and eldest turned 5 2 weeks ago)........ but i have my part-time swimming teacher job still and since the scare at xmas and nearly losing my son (and the tragedy of Jade Goody) i am not going to work 7am-7pm every day helping offenders get their lives straight and miss my babies growing up! No matter how much they pay me! I only have one chance to enjoy them and i can work a couple of hrs a day and still be ok and enjoy my munchkins. God how life changes when you have kids.......
