I was just writing my blog and decided to set myself a mini goal. My birthday is in 10 weeks from now. To get to 16st I would have to loose 25lb...which is 2.5lb in a week. It's a lot, but even if I don't make it, I will be within the 16's. I don't even remember the last time I weight 16 stone....
Well, I'm going to make a minigoal tracker now and update my signature...that should keep me busy for the last hour at work.
What a fantastic week everyone is having ...well done everyone.
Moonchild I also lost 3lbs this week -always throws me cos I don't do things wildly different from one week to the next but hey I'll take it!
The frittata was fab - was different to yours and I wasn't sure of quantities so as a well practised 'bung it' cook - thats what I did.
Did it with some bacon,mushrooms and shallots instead of the pasta - used a whole small tub of fromage frais but worked absolutely fine - Kids loved it - and thats the bonus for me - finding SW food that they will eat without batting an eye lid!!
So anymore kid friendly meals let me know - love trying them out - and if quick and easy all the better - we don't get in till 6pm each night - and many nights we're out - various kids social life ..not my own!!!
Bubbly, I'm glad you liked the fritatta....and that your kids liked it is even better. And well done you with your loss!!!!
I've had a really good week and planning to have a good weekend as well. Doing a lot of DIY as my inlaws FINALLY moved out....wooohoooo....well, you all have a lovely weekend, be good!
Wow well done on the losses that's great. I started my slimming world adventure today, with the online version, I think I'm doing ok, we did our food shopping today so that helped me to plan for next week (planning food is something I'm bad at).
One quick question, the online guide said to aim for between 10-15 syns, how many do you girls usually have?
I'm really enjoying the slimming world programme, its the first healthy eating programme I have actually enjoyed and look forward to cooking. Its great to find all those healthy alternatives to eat. Hoping my hard work shows up when I weigh tomorrow, this programme has even got me exercising more which is really good. How's everyone else getting on?
this is true, I also look forward to trying out the different recipes, and most of them are surprisingly good. And the best part is that you rarely go hungry and the rest of the family can eat the same food...without even knowing that they are eating healthier....
I think I had a good week, and the scales tomorrow hopefully show exactly that......
Well not posted for a couple of weeks, but lost half a pound last week...and put it on again this week!! Got my treadmill out yesterday tho, so gonna try stickin with it this week and get back on track. Have found a few more 'appetising' recipies online, so they might make things a bit more interesting.
I really fancied rice pudding today, so searched online and found an idea to just cook pudding rice and add it to a muller light vanilla yoghurt! How simple is that! Not tried it yet tho....saving it for when i get the munchies later while watching Big Brother!
Glad you're all doing so well. I'm aiming to get to 12 stone by christmas, so thats 2 stone to lose! Better get jogging!!
Well weigh in was tonight and after a very strange weight loss of 3 lbs last week I put 1 of them back on but still an overall loss and after the amount of wine I consumed on a rainy Sunday afternoon this weekend - tis no real surprise.
So onwards again this week - like the idea of the rice pudding recipee - will try that. Also ordered a cross trainer today - well I need something to hang the washing on!!!
No honestly I'll use it - if I can work out how to put it together! If not flowers rather than chocolates please for the hospital visits!!
I'm Hazel and I'm soo pleased to have found this site! I'm from Cwmbran which is in Gwent, South Wales.
I've been at SW for almost a year and so far have lost 2st 11.5lbs.
I've had a few months of staying the same, losing a pound, putting the pound back on, but have knuckled down for the past fortnight and have lost a further 3.5 lbs which is fab!
I'm back on track now which is why I'm so pleased to have discovered the 3FC site - a quick browse has shown me some new recipes and ideas which I hope to try out!
Thanks for reading - hope to be joining in really soon!
Bubbly, shame about the gain, but don''t let that get you down. Jump back on and I'm sure next week you'll be a loser again!!!
Aquiela, welcome to the club. It's a lovely wee forum and I'm enjoying coming on here on a daily basis.
And last but not least, Helen....WELL DONE you! 6lb thats fab! Congrats! I'm really pleased for your. I got my weigh in tonight, and I really hope that I've lost.....
Thank you Moonchild, I was really chuffed. I hope your weigh in goes well tonight, its such a good feeling to lose. I like how we weigh in on the same day, feels more like a community then
I've only lost a pound....but I'm not too upset about it. I have only been to the gym once this week, as compared to 3x last week...and I also had some garlic bread....But a wee loss is better than a gain.
It's a lot, but even if I don't make it, I will be within the 16's. I don't even remember the last time I weight 16 stone....
Wow Wee !!!
Got my treadmill out yesterday tho, so gonna try stickin with it this week and get back on track. Have found a few more 'appetising' recipies online, so they might make things a bit more interesting.
