Eh ? smoothies arent free wheres the logic in that all I have is fruit which is free and ice ! they are so not bad for you so I think I will still have them I have a glass for my breakfast and it stops me from being hungry till lunch... mmmmmm

Yeh, took me a while to work that one out as well, but apparently it is because you liquidise the fruit, therefore your body does not recognise it as food and your metabolism doesnt kick in to process it. Its the same with fruitjuice, syns as well. I know, it sucks, I love fresh orange juice, but a glass of it is about 5 syns.....

Dentist went well I think, just escaped it being pulled out...so far. Stil hurts a bit, but probably because I was on that chair for an hour...was told if thats not solved it, the tooth has to go...or a root treatment...

I'm at home sick today urgh. glad the dentist went ok. I maintained this week and was really annoyed till I measured myself I've lost 2 inches from most of my body in the last month which is the time I've been maintaining. At least the inches are going

Hey Helen, well done on the inchloss. I've been losing inches steadily, measuring myself monthly, and usually about 1 - 2 inches down. Your muscles probably increased and they are heavier than fat.

I got my WI tonight, and since I've been really good this week, I should have quiet a good loss...if not, I will be annoyed lol.

Hope you feel better soon. But definetely a good day to stay at home on the sofa...it's horrible out there....

Morning all,
Well my WI wasn't great....stayed the same...yet again. It's sooo annoying!!
My Teamleader said that I might have hit a plateau and need to kickstart my diet. Grrrr, I was well annoyed. But oh well, I figured because I had that KFC last Thursday and then altered my weekly start from Sunday to Friday, I probably had more syns than I realised. So I'm not giving up, sticking to it another week and then should see some results...I hope. At least I didn't gain.

Hi all, does anyone have this weeks password? forgot to ask for the password in the meeting the last couple of weeks, and now its not working anymore....pls pm me or send me an email...thanks guys.

Yup password is Autum. I have had a good week eating well at work had a few sweeties last night and 2 bottles of cider hoping I have lost 2lb byt tomorrow

A xx

Morning all,
FF and Amanda, thanks for the password. I need to set myself a reminder every thursday, because I keep forgetting to ask lately lol.

Amanda, good luck with your WI, hope you lost your 2lb.

My weekend was so so....had TGI's on friday, but stayed on the green plan with some syns. Saturday was ok as well, had some crisps at night tho, but should be ok, and yesterday we did some major walking and jogging and had a on plan roast last night, only syns for the gravy. So if I stay mostly syn free this week, this week should finally give me a loss. If it doesnt, that would be very discouraging. Found some recipes for tomato soup and sweet potato soup. Will make them tonight and then have them for my lunches this week.

Sorry I've not been round much, I'm still ill at home, don't feel like posting much but I wanted to say hi!

Hi All,
Sorry I've not been around much this week. I've been in shock since my last WI - put on loads (haven't changed my ticker - I'm too depressed about it) and it's not as if I'd had an enjoyable blow-out or anything! Lets just say that my 3rd goal is no longer achieved I'm being investigated by my Dr as I may be starting to go through the menopause and apparently putting on weight is a common symptom I'm feeling completely fed up - after all my hard work! I'm going to WI tomorrow but my heart's not in it. After the awful WI last week I just overate for a couple of days and haven't been to the gym all week.
Sorry to spend the whole email moaning
love ff x

Morning Ladies,
Now now, whats going on? Winterblues setting in left right and center I guess....
Helen, I hope you feel better soon. Keep your head up. I'm sure you'll be up and running again soon.
FF, so sorry to hear that you've put on so much. But if it is really the menopause then there is the explanation. So don't worry about it. Still try to stick to the plan, speak to you TL about it and see what she says how to handle it. Don't let it discourage you. I've hit that plateau and I don't feel that I have lost anything this week either. But I will not give in!!! I will make an appointment with my doc as well, just to get a checkup and see if they can maybe put me on any drugs, like xenical or anything. I really need some extra willpower, Im just too weak when I'm by myself.
Last night was so so. I am having trouble when I get home and my other half isn't there. I tend to snack more, and I gladly ignore all the healthy snacks. I do need to do something about that. Maybe just not go home after work lol...

Hi ladies

I've also had a terrible week last week.. put on loads (for no apparent reason btw) ! But I'm over it already, as what's done is done and we need to focus on the future!

I have a quick question.. do you have any suggestion for a UK or European calorie counter, where you can record your food intake ? Bit like fitday.com but for the UK. I find that the measurments on fitday often don't make sense and they don't have all the foods we have over here.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Chin up girls! We can do this!

Daniele

Hi Daniele, not sure about the calorie counter, but u can have your online diary on the slimming world website.

Thanks Moonchild, I know that, but I'm not entirely happy with that one. It doesn't break things down the way fitday does, but I will continue to use the SW one if I can't find a better alternative. Thanks again.

Hi I lost my 2lb and 2lb more wohhooooooooooo I am so pleased 4lbs for my first week and I have just got my TOM to so not done so bad. I am hoping for my 2lb this week and so far so good.
