That's fabulous Ells And good luck for tomorrow Barney. Think we sound like we're on a roll atm. How are you doing Cinds?

I've been to a family funeral today and had my pic taken with my 20 yr old great niece as she has lost 3 stone since last summer. That's 6 stone and 3lbs between us, significantly more than her little brother weighs

Unfortunately it is only on sad occasions when we meet up with family and see all the results of our hard work , you don't notice when you see people regularly

Only 4.5 syns and DELICIOUS

Ooosh they look nice, are they veggie?

I checked barney cos I thought of you and your chocolate cravings, unfortunately not, they have gelatine in

 Most of tge nice choc puds are the same Supes, but thanks for tge info 

Where has my 'h' gone

 

I'm a good girl! Off to the cinema later and i've got a tub of grapes, diet coke, 2 Hifi bars and a packet of salted pop corn to take along

Have you tried the new rhubarb and custard ones? I think that they are possibly the most revolting things I've ever had the misfortune to eat Loads of people in my class love 'em 'though

They were the first ones i tried Supes, I always bought Alpen light bars from £1land as they were bigger and cheaper. I thought they were ok but this week i bought the rocky road (Minime liked the pink box lol) and chocolates ones and they are sooooo nice! Much nicer than the Rhubarb ones.

I really like the others Jen and have the Rocky Rd, Double Choc, Peanut Heaven or Choc Orange most days for my B group and sometimes also extra ones as syns. It was just those new rhubarb ones I didn't like

Might have to try the peanut and orange ones on Thursday.

You can only have one of those ones as a B group Jen, but they are more filling and v nice.

Thanx for that, I wouldn't have checked lol

Woohoo! 4lb loss this week And look!

 

Brilliant Jen. Well done   

Thank you Moonie, I'm well chuffed 

So you should be

Well done Jen 

Brilliant Jen

(Your lot need telling that they could get a bit more interesting with their fruit donations for slimmer of the week mind)

That's brilliant!!. Well done Jen   

Lmao Supes, hope you did well yhis week.. I am happy as I've started to stay to group (with lots of prep for my 4yr old staying too) that I got the fruit... Won it once before but that was a downside of weigh and walk.
Hope barney is doing well too

well done Jen that's brilliant

 

i am doing really badly at the moment, still eating birthday chocs

 

thinking of calling it a day going to class (due for a weigh in tomorrow), i have been yo-yo'ing since November and not sticking to plan, so gonna start afresh on Sunday and just put the £5 a week in my elephant-piggy bank, what an unfortunately choice for a dieter

 

i will stick to it at home if i get someone else to weigh me each Saturday morning

 

but well done to you

Did you start going solo Barney? There are some fab FB groups for tips and support etc (a couple not so good too though!)
My sis inlaw has started this week, she's lost 6lb in her first week!

hi jen

 

i haven't started properly yet, but have left SW, having a bit of a break while i am constantly having *star weeks*, its getting me down and i NEED chocolate

 

havent been near the scales yet but at least all my birthday chocs have now gone

 

how did you get on this week Jen?

Well done Jen on slimmer of the week & the weight loss.  

 

Last nights dinner was lamb cutlets (coated with Worcestershire sauce), steamed veg & roasted potatoes. 

oh yeah and 12lb lost in total.

Well done Cinds, how long have you been doing it now? You could get to a stone this week

Barney I lost a pound this week, hope you can get back on track soon, I'm so pleased I managed to bite the bullet and go back xx

well done Cinds that's a great loss, keep it up you are nearly at a stone

 

well done to you too Jen, 1lb is so good, the hardest part is going back and you've done it

 

in my old class they used to have a 2lb "lump of fat" and it was huge, my latest class has a 1/2lb lump and when you felt disappointed you only had to have a squeeze

 

thanks Jen, i am just having a week or two off, and will get back to DIY SW

 

I'm kind of floating around classes at the moment trying to find one that I like!  The one I started at this time I really didn't like, nobody talked to you etc etc.  So I've tried two others & will try a 3rd next week, then decided which one to stick with.

Barney, how about 5:2?  It suits me much better than a full on diet and I'm having good results (11lbs so far) and find it a lot easier to do.  You stick to 500cals on 2 days of the week then just eat normal the other 5.  On my 'fasting' days I am full of ideas of what I am going to scoff the next day but I never, ever end up eating all the things I think I am going to.  You don't be as hungry as you think you will be on the day after the fast and once you've been doing it a few weeks you do start to think about all the cals you're eating on a normal day.

 

Michael Mosley did a good documentary about it on BBC (I think it's still on the iplayer) and the health benefits from it if you want to have a look and see how beneficial it can be.

Bumped for our latest member pirate

 

So how are we all doing? I've been a bit up and down the last few weeks, but lost 1.5 this week so 3 stone 3.5lbs altogether  Gutted that my lovely consultant left last night   We had a 'taster session party' I made: syn free scotch eggs; SW recipe chocolate torte, (with cointreau rather than brandy, clementines and cointreau 'cream') 4 syns a slice; and some chocolate marshmallows, (1 syn each)

3st 3.5lb is fantastic Supes! Have you met your new consultant yet? Are they nice?

 

I'm almost back to 2st 7lb.... Where i was at new year.... I was 0.5lb away last night  So this week should show some actual progress rather than 'catch up' losses 

ive got a low fat curry sauce recipe

 

or is it low calorie...anyway...

 

2 onions

2 cloves garlic

1/4" ginger

grated carrot

1/2 red pepper

1/2 tsp cumin

"  "   "  tumeric

           paprika

           garam masala

1/4 tin of tomatoes

 

blend garlic & ginger + bit of water to make a paste

 

onions,carrots,pepper in a pan, cover with water & boil then simmer for 15mins add water if it starts going dry)

add tomatoes & then blend then blend 'til really smooth

 

fry (with that spray oil stuff) cumin/paprika/tumeric for minute

add it to the paste,simmer for 5mins add garam masala

then stir in how much chilli powder you like + salt+pepper

 

thats the curry sauce done

then you add what ever you want to it

i put mushrooms & spinach, 4 halves of little tomatoes & some corriandar in it

i wasnt bad at all

 

 

 

Thanks for the info Ells, may have a good look at the 5:2 if my SW at home doesn't work.  On the whole SW suits me as I have quite a big appetite and I can fill up on pasta or spuds

 

5lb off on my first week back on plan, DIY 

Nice one barney

I've done this tonight: https://www.gagajoyjoy.com/topi...0#441669768464909120

Yes and...not particularly! But I was really spoilt with Abbie

Hopefully we'll get back on a roll now that spring is in the air Jen
