Well done Mel, thats a great loss! Even with having a few drinks, thats fab....you seem to get the hang of it now.....sounds like you're having the time of your life there today hahaha....I love those days when it's crazy....unfortunately I'm only annoyed here lately.
Morning ladies,
Unbelievable but true, I've lost 2lb this week. I could now bite my behind....how much would I have lost if I wouldn't have eaten all that crap over the weekend? Grrrrrrrrrrr! But well, I've lost, and am well chuffed with it. And I've been so good this week, I should have a loss next week as well....hopefully. Going to stick to the plan to the dot, so I can get rid of these 6lb before my Bday, then I'm down to 17st....it really seems that the variation of days does the trick....will try and keep that up....
Made the sausage hotpot last night and had it with pasta, it was absolutely delicious...my other half loved it as well......don't have a clue what I'm making tonight, but we have a buffet at work today for lunch, so it will probably just be beans on toast or something like that.
Hehe well done on the losses girls, that's great. I've been pretty crazy these last few days, busy and insane lol. I won't be on much now till after the weekend, but have a great weekend and lots of fun!
It's great, we all had a good loss this week, well chuffed. Going out for dinner with some friends tomorrow, but I'll be a good girl....going to have a chinky, so it shouldnt be too bad...
It's also showdown tomorrow with the guy from the Sky sales box......going to give him a big piece of my mind.
Well Helen, hope you have a nice weekend. Stay on the plan, have lots of fun!
Ok, buffet is over....and i watched what I ate....kinda...well....not really.....Had lots of pastasalad, which shouldnt be to bad...but also had a brownie (which was to die for) and some tiramisu...and some savoury cheesecake....no big pieces, but still....counted 20 syns, which is probably about half of what it really was lol......but oh well.....played on the WII which one of my collegues brought for buffet day, and got some off. Did some boxing which was fun.
Well, another hour and a half and then its the weekend....yay.....have a great weekend all....until monday!!!!
Hey guys been a crazy day at work. Moonchild AWESOME about the 2lb loss! Just keep doing what you are doing and you'll see the scale go down next week, too. Wow we are rockin, aren't we ?!?
Right guys got a pretty social weekend on tap! Off to TWO leaving dos tonight (don't worry I can handle it LOL!) Then a double birthday party tomorrow. Allegedly it is going to be 25 degrees and sunny tomorrow. I will believe it when I see it!
Oh and can I jsut say Moonchild mmmm sausage hotpot! I'm going to have to have a look at your blog for the recipe!
Helen I definitely understand crazy days! Hope it all calms down for you and you have a nice bank holiday weekend!
Just had a little victory, I went to see my doctor and while I was there I asked her to update my weight on her records, she was really pleased, I asked her when I could go back on the pill which my other doctor had taken me off because I was too overweight, she checked some things out and said I could go back on it yay!
Hubby is out tonight and my usual girlie friend is out of town so I think its a night watching 24 and playing on the ps3 lol. Not sure what we're going to do this weekend, but it'll involve lots of relaxing and lots of healthy eating hehe.
Helen that is AWESOME about the birth control! I know my doc took me off the estrogen-based kind and put me on the progresterone kind for the same reason. I hope to make it to where you are!
Yesterday was a pretty tough day for me but I managed to stay (mostly!) OP and I am very happy about that. I was a little bit hung over from Friday night and I hadn't slept well because when I got home I saw I had a special delivery at the post office.
I don't think I mentioned it to you guys but I have been waiting for my Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK for a few weeks. It's a long story but the short version is I had to spend A LOT of money to get this, and I also had to wait an additional year to get it because the Home Office changed the length of the qualifying period right before I was going to be able to apply, and I have really wanted this because it means I can work wherever I want in the UK and I am not tied to my employer anymore (as I have been for the past 5 years).
So when I saw the special delivery notice I was very excited because I thought it was my passports and my ILR visa - I couldn't sleep! Oh and it was - I am very happy I finally have permanent residency in the UK! If I can make it one more year I will be able to have dual UK and US citizenship which would be awesome!
The upshot of this was I was VERRRY tired and hung over yesterday and really wanting to eat. My bf finally suggested we get an Indian takeaway, and I went through my SW book to find something relatively low in syns, which I did. Was delicious and I DID manage to stay on program which I am very happy about! Even went to the pub afterwards and stayed on diet coke and water because I'd used all my syns on our takeaway! I'm going to stick to this program and achieve my goals, dammit!
Anyway ladies hope you are having a lovely bank holiday weekend! Talk to ya later!
Mornin Ladies,
Well eventho its bank holiday for you guys, I'm working....but oh well.
Helen, awesome about the pill, thats great news. I didn't even know they did that...hmmmm. Hope you enjoyed your night in, thats why I keep pushing my other half to go out occasionally with his mates, so I can stay on the sofa, and have a girly night in....
Mel, great you stayed OP even with having an indian takeaway! And even greater news about your visa...yay!!!
My weekend was quiet good too. As you all know had the buffet on Friday afternoon, so didnt eat anything for dinner.
Saturday morning I went to town to sort out Sky, which was not so successful. They asked me to send an email and they would inform their areamanager parallel to that, so hopefully that should get a result. Chilled out the rest of the day and went out with some friends at night. Tried to stay on the plan, but had a few more vodkas then I should have. But oh well, had some duck with boiled rice for dinner.
So yesterday was just chilling out, stayed OP yesterday, so quiet pleased with the weekend. Will be dead good again during the week, and with the boxing I should be ok for my WI on Thursday.
My mum has been trying so hard on slimming world in 4 weeks has lost 10 pounds i'm so proud of her. She's doing so well that she's making me wanna come back and join.hmmm...we'll c Does anyone know how many syns is the Muller Fruit corner strawberry flavour yogurt?
Thanks in advance wishing you all well on your new ways of life.
Hiya girls, and welcome back to work I wish the whole weekend was bank holiday lol. Mel congratulations on getting the right to stay here, that's great, I bet its been playing on your mind until it was confirmed. Moonchild, sorry you had to work on bank holiday, that sucks, I hope it wasn't too busy for you.
You have both done really well staying OP all weekend, well done, I wish I could say the same for me lol, I have been a bit naughty. Saturday Chris took me out for an italian lunch, which was gorgeous, I did quite well, stayed on a green day, but I know I could have done better. Then on Sunday we had a salad bowl from the supermarket, I can't even justify why I did it lol, but I ate all sorts of fattening and I have to say yummy food. Yesterday I got back OP though. I realised how hard its going to be for me when I'm on holiday to stay OP, Chris says I shouldn't worry about it too much while we're away but I am going to be as strict on myself as I can, at least we are swimming in the sea all the time, so that'll keep me exercising. Oh, well I'm not going to worry about it just yet, two weeks to go.
I'm off to aerobics tonight, and then I have a yummy quorn pasta bake for dinner tonight, its last nights leftovers.
Right gotta go, we have a morning meeting with bacon sandwiches
She stepped on the scale today and has lost another 2 pounds she's 3 pounds away from 1 stone. I'm sooooooooo proud, i wanna treat her to something nice. NOT FOOD!!Any ideas?
Does anyone also know the the syn value for the Linda McCartney quorn sausage rolls and quorn pie? She loves quorn but i think these are a bit high in points cos of the pastry.
Oh hey dudes and buenos dias SW chick! BTW it looks like it's 6 syns for the sausage rolls.
Back at work, boo! But eating my beloved Grape Nuts (American breakfast cereal but you can get it in the UK at most big grocery stores so you may be familiar with it) and soy milk for brekky, YAY!
Helen don't even worry about your slightly off program days! You enjoyed yourself and now you're moving on back OP. That's fine! Know what you mean about holidays - EVERY time I've been on a diet in the UK I tell myself I will stay on it when I go on holiday to the States - I NEVER do! There's just so much naughty food I want to have while I'm there - Mexican, Chicago-style pizza, etc. etc... I'm already thinking about how to best to cope with this when I'm there for Christmas.
Right better go do some work LOL!
