Lost 2 lbs Was expecting a maintain at best.... must have been all of that diuretic green tea I drank today 

Celebration supper was: sea bream stuffed with, ginger, chilli, lime and spring onions with stir fry veg and noodles, (cooked in sesame oil, the one thing I can't compromise on!) Oh and a bottle of my birthday champagne, all shared with a friend

Good luck for tomorrow btw

That sounds Lovely Supes, i went to the carvery... The only nice + sw friendly meal ive found that i havent had to cook

 

Well done on the 2lbs! Not far to that next award now 

1lb gain again! I kinda knew it was coming... It's like I got to -2st and my brain is thinking I'm invincible! Not any more.... No more cheating myself now.... It's on here out there... Will do better lol

Awww never mind.....I've just had mns butchers choice reduced fat sausages, (i syn each,)  with mustard mash, red wine and onion gravy and loads of veggies....bloody lovely 

Good day for me today I even started a food diary again

 Good girl, you can do it

How you doing Supes? I made 'roast' chicken dinner tonight with peas, carrots and sweet corn... Summer berries and a muller for a snack later

I ate very little in Sat (omelette and salad with a bowl of fruit and muller. Plus 2alpen light bars that's it all day!) and went to friends house for drinks.... I was sloshed very quickly a slurring! Think I will plan meals better if I do that again lol

Sounds like you're having a great week Jen I'm having my worst ever! Been fine during the day/with meals, but had a malteser fest on Sat eve and a cashew nut fest last night! Been super good today 'though, too busy to eat all day so just had fruit and then made a carbonara for supper, followed by a turkish delight muller light

I wish I had all your problems. I have to go onto complan twice a day just to stick something into my gob. The thought of food makes me feel ill unless it's veggies.

Supes i made a big booboo on Sunday... had a tuna salad at lunch time and took my eldest 2 and niece to  cinema... was really good and only had diet coke even after spending a fortune on popcorn for three young uns (thats after getting sweets and drinks from £1land!!)..... on the bus on way back and was searching the web for for low syn take aways as it was nearly 6pm... Minimins it said Chow mien was 7 syns from take away.... i ordered and when i went to add it to my online diary it came up as 16.5!! Good thing i avoided the popcorn and sweets

Thanks VD Both Jen and I have done really well although she had a wobble last week and I'm having one this! Although I'm not going to beat myself up about one week 

Oh bugga, how annoying.......I'll stick with the SW version! http://www.slimmingworld.com/h...arch-term=+chow+mein

Not a fan of popcorn unless it's toffee, but think it's fairly low syn?

Yeah I'm sure I've seen ppl say they use syns on popcorn as it's low... I was actually proud I said no when the kids offered me minstrels and munchies

Good luck today Supes 

Half a pound off Jen... not a lot but I'm now in the next 'stone' bracket I'm expecting good things for you tomorrow, fingers crossed xxx

PS One of our group lost 9lbs this week and got her 4 and a half and 5 stone awards in a oner Don't want to take anything away from her, (she's a hoot, eats nothing but chicken every night that she gets off the back of a lorry!) but she's having relationship traumas....and she'd be the first to say that's a sure fire way to drop a few stone without trying!

Hard either way Col, but I do know where you're coming from, given a choice I'd  rather be overweight than underweight and enjoy food 

Wow at that woman from your group!!
1/2 a pound off is good and it's always good to get into the next stone bracket

Aww I need to find some willpower to join you ladies.  I just can't seem to get into the zone although I suspect I'll reach New Years and decide to give it a proper go like every other year.  Doesn't help that the tablets I'm on have helped me gain 10lbs since I went on them.  That and eating too many takeaways 

I'm hoping for big things for you tonight Jen x

Awwww, come and join us Ells...and the Fakeaway cook book and SW website are brilliant for recipes, most of which probably taste better than those from takeaways as they're not full of carp x

Ells  No point giving yourself more to worry about if you're not in the right frame of mind, and this close to Christmas too! We will look forward to new year

 

I was really good all week and lost 2 1/2 pounds... My new jeans do weight a whole pound though!! But now i can wear them every Thursday  

 

 

Excellent, well done Jen

Hmmm I'm not being great this week! Meals are good but I'm giving in to the chocolate and had a few extra drinks the weekend too... It's all the Christmas adverts I swear!

I've been 100% perfect Jen And not a drop of alcohol has passed my lipsBut I feel really bloated and don't feel as if I've lost an ounce!

I've felt like that before Supes, don't think 'oh feck it' as you will be surprised come Wednesday  

Just 1 lb off this week, but at least it's in the right direction. Good luck for tonight Jen

ty Supes i bloody need it! hahaha i might even shut my eyes!

 

How far for the 2.5 award now? xx

2lb on! I need to lock the chocolate away i think 

Got it two weeks ago Jen! Heading towards the 3 now

Oh dear, never mind, quicker it goes on quicker it comes off

How did you do yesterday Supes? Well i hope

 

I managed 4lb off this week leaving me 1lb away from 2 1/2 stone... will be over the moon if i manage 1lb off this week *Fingers crossed*

Well done you I put 4.5 on First gain since June, and I've done it in style LOL  Down to my inactivity and picking 'cos of my bad back I guess... I'll sort it soon, I hope

Oh no! I had you down for the 3st award for Christmas! I really hope your back isn't too bad

So pleased! I did it! Got my -2 1/2 stone! roll on gaining the 1/2 stone back over Christmas  

 

 

I am soooo joining this thread in January.  I am already looking forward to it so that's how I know I'll give it a good go.  I need to be really in the headspace to do it and that's where I'm at now.  I'll get xmas and New Year out of the way first and then get on it!

 

Well done on your big losses Jen and Supes xx

Thanx guys

Look forward to chatting sw with you Ells

I have to say in struggling this week a little but stuff it it's Christmas 26tg Dec I'll kick myself into touch lol just arranged to do lunch tomorrow with my friend

What's for tea?

Chinese thank you very much

 

After New Year?

Cambridge Diet

Well dne Jen

 

I lost one and a half stone with WW this year, and have kept it off too. Well ... maybe a couple of pounds on, but I'm loving the new slimmer me

 

However, I may need to pop in here in the new year

 

And Rents, don't do the Cambridge, it's just not sustainable. Your bike will help, get out and about on that

And Rexi - I've done it before and have loads of the sachets/drinks

Lost 1st 2lbs in a week

But you're right its not sustainable

But I plan to replace one meal a day for short periods with Cambridge diet stuff and exercise too
