Well, I'm usually making the SW carbonara, which is syn free, in the mood for that. Well as expected I came home and snacked a bit. But TOM arrived today, so there is an excuse lol.

I know what you mean about the farts....our house has been smelling horrible the last 6 weeks, both of us. But there is no way to stop it I guess, just trying to eat healthy. But I find that since I've started Actimel it got a lot worse.

Well Im off to make dinner now. Speak to u all tomorrow.

Hello lovely people! I have just found you and (as it's a bit late!) I haven't had the chance to read through this whole thread. From what I have read you seem like a lovely bunch!

I have started on the SW plan again. Last time was too much for me trying to attend meetings so I ditched it all (sorry Alison!)

I have signed up now online which I am finding brilliant. 6 pounds off since Saturday!!!!! You know how people talk about puppy fat... I put on Christmas fat RAPIDLY so it is no surprise to me that is has gone just as quick but I love the fact that I am certainly not starving/hungry. (Forgive me as a nurse I can be quite explicit and TBH I think it was probably a VERY big jobbie!!! )

Anyway Hi and I look forward to catching up tomorrow.

Hugs

Morning all, is it as windy down in England as it is up here? Jeeezuuuss, flying trampolines everywhere up here....brrrrrrrrr.

Kissi, welcome...well you found us late, but u found us....thats all that counts lol. Well done on the 6lb loss....you are one of the few that lost this week.

Well, got my WI tomorrow and I'm dreading it to no end. My first WI in about a month....

So far I'm mostly sticking to the plan, the odd snack in between, but nothing major. As of Thursday the reigns will be a lot tighter tho.......want to have a good loss next week.

Hiya,

Welcome Kissi, I'm also doing Slimming World online, I find it's really good. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Moonchild you'll be fine at weigh in, remember you're back on track and doing really well. We've all had our slip ups but what's important is that you've picked yourself up and you're back on plan. How's boxing going? It's as windy here as it is up there, our work roof is very old and in really bad condition, I am hoping it stays where it is lol!

I went back to aerobics last night, I'm struggling to remember why I missed going when I had two weeks off. I think every muscle in my body aches and last night I was so tired from it I was in bed really early. I'm going again tonight though my instructor seemed really fed up with us all as we we're all low on energy, she threatened to make us do the routine again unless we put more effort in, needless to say we ended up doing it twice My face was bright red by the time I got home from the class from the hard work

Busy day today but I'll try and post when I can!

Hello again!

Well I have tried VERY VERY hard to read through all of this thread and am only on page 23!!!

I think I will continue to work my way through it bit by bit!

It's just so lovely to have you all (well some have gone, some have stayed) doing so well! I am gobsmacked at the amount of weight you have lost and it really, really is an inspiration.

I am doing really well with the plan. I have (and probably will) be sticking to mainly red days. I did Atkins for a while and it really worked (whilst I was on it). I don't know if the limitations of variety on the Atkins that I stuck to fastidiously (as is my nature as an all or nothing girl) meant that when I came off it I went to binge heaven and ate all the wrong things!

The key for me is not to be limited (or "focused" on limitations) I need and thrive on knowing what I can eat and that I can do so freely. That is why I just know SW is going to be great!

Well done again to those of you have just continued to bash away at it and with such good humour. I really look forward to being here with you!

BTW... Mullerlight are 12 for £3 at tescos!!!! I am a Sainsburys girl (£2.50/6) but couldn't get quark there so went to the evil empire yesterday and discovered the bargain!!!!

Hugs

Hi all

Well it was weigh in tonight and finally I lost...2lb - which for me is fab so I'm about back to the weight I was last June - ah well - its a loss.

Trouble time for me is after the kids have gone to bed -i just seem to give myself licence to blow it all - really bizarre -I haven't found anything yet that distracts me - I'll do something and then get something to eat and I never go for free food - of course not.

Tonight i attacked some dry roasted peanuts,a penguin biscuit and a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes...WHY???

Although do you know what typing that out made me realise I HAVE TO THROW THEM OUT!!!! I kid myself they're there for the kids but why on earth do i want to go and let them become future SW members - so i am braving the wind and rain right now to the big black bin outside...Wish me luck lol

Good luck Bubbly.

I have to make my kitchen "fiona" safe otherwise the temptation is just too much.

Im now really worried that, after this great start Im going to somehow fail. Whether its by not losing next week, or having a gain or just losing the positivity I have at the minute - so Im taking it one day at a time.

I'm so happy, I've lost 3 pounds this week, I am really surprised and so glad to be back in the losing ways. I've had a couple of red days this week but mostly green days. Green days are so much cheaper lol!

Didn't go to my class last night, I'm going tonight with my friend Jo, I was way too achy last night to move off the sofa.

Hope everyone else has a good weigh in. Bubbly, I am exactly the same, if the things are there I'll eat them, the only way I get round it is by not having it in the house, that seems to stop me. I'm too lazy to go to the shop to fetch anything naughty lol!

Hi girls, well done on the loss all, thats fab! I got my meeting tonight, won't be a loss, but a gain, since it's my first meeting in a month. But oh well, it's my own fault. So I will brave the shock with a raised head.

Made a chicken curry last night with the mayflower curry sauce from Farmfoods....absolute delish!

Bubbly, I have the same....that hour that Im alone at home I snack like its going out of fashion....absolutely redicilous. I have no clue why either....I think I just need to get rid of everything that I could eat......

Going to have a baked potato with refried beans for lunch, yummy!
