Last night i cooked for 8, a mass creation of pork chow mein.
I used lean pork, fried in fry light, with sliced red onion, loads of quartered mushrooms, sweetcorn, spring onions, ginger and soy sauce with noodles.
Was sooooo yummy everyone enjoyed it and totally syn free which meant i could enjoy a few sneaky vodkas with the girls ;)
I also had a couple of slices of pizza for lunch yesterday but enjoyed every bite and have followed plan the whole rest of the week so some flexi syns on a friday hopefully wont do me any harm. I will find out on tuesday at weigh in.

I am work today, i have been snacking on lots of fruit all morning as i didnt have time for a big breakfast as had to be up and out for an appointment to pay my venue balance and finalise things before i went to work..... but have a choice in the cupboard here of jacket potato with baked beans or (much more likely) pasta in a tomato onion and garlic sauce followed by yet more fruit :D

I have turkey mince at home that needs to be used, so will most likely make cajun style turkey burgers with sw chips and make some homemade spicy mango coleslaw and some sweetcorn.
Diet??? What diet??? :D

Im having a hard day today - i really want a glass of wine but trying to be good!

i ruined it today after all. I forgot my nan made me a xmas cake and so I figured I may as well try and get it out of the way before it goes off. Also found the ice cream that hubby 2 be wont eat. Lets see how badly this goes for tomo haha! Thing is I know I can afford to lose the weight slowly and so I do struggle with will power. I dont think I have gone overly off the rails tho whereas before I would have a day off and eat EVERYTHING!

exactly. I cant stop at one thing. I figure 'oh well ive ruined it now' even when I probably havent so then end up wrecking it properly. Alternatively I can be far too strict causing hubby to be to force me to eat something. I need to get focussed properly and sensibly.

Oh I'm dreading my weigh in on Tuesday as all I;ve done all weekend is eat and drink (it's my birthday tomorrow too.) Having my folks, sister and brother round for a curry tonight (but it is a WW one) and had garlic prawns for starter followed by chicken and tomato pasta yesterday (went for birthday lunch with my friends) but then topped it up with 3 bottles of wine, lager, cocktails and prosecco - doh!

I'm taking all my chocolate into school tomorrow - then it's out of the house and I won't be tempted!

I made the turkey burgers as planned, last nights dinner was extreamly yummy. As of 3pm i am at work for 24 hours so need to plan my days food. I need dinner for today, breakfast and lunch for tomorrow and snacks.
I have a couple of last nights turkey burgers left which i may take in and have with rice, sweetcorn, cucumber and left over mango coleslaw.
Might have fruit salad with yogurt for breakfast tomorrow and then jacket potato with baked beans for lunch. I will take fruit, hard boiled eggs and a hifi bar in with me for snacking on, and i think maybe a bag of ryvita minis for tomorrow.

H2b made me a full english breakfast in bed syn free this morning, was soooo yummy and such a brilliant start to the day. :D
I am hoping that the pizza and alcohol from friday wont have effected my weigh in too badly on tuesday.

Its Steak and chips in our house tonight. I feel like I have eaten like a queen all day. I had a full english and now I am having steak and chips.

Im not feeling great so can't say im in the eating mood! My asthma is bad and im full of a cold. Hope I feel better tomorrow as I am back to work..

You maybe suprised really Fiona, i have lost inches off my chest!

I can reccomend slimming world ive lost 3st 8lbs in 4 months and it is so so easy and you can eat so much!!! xxx

Oct12, i lost 5lb in my first week :)
So far have done over 1.5 stone since 12th oct so am doing ok and according to my progress chart i am set to be at under 10 stone by the wedding :D My target weight is 9 stone as thats whats perfectly healthy bmi for my height (between 8 and 10 stone so i wanted right in the middle) so i might see if i could push myself, maybe a couple of weeks with 2/3 superfree instead of 1/3.
How lovely it would be to make target by my wedding.

I went in on my own and was made to feel extreamly welcome. But i guess that is down to personal preferance if you would feel comfortable going alone. You could always look online for your nearest group that suits you and then phone the consultant for a chat so she is expecting you and greets you with a smile when you arrive?
It cost me £4.95 joining fee and £4.95 each week. I always stay to group so i get the value for my money rather than just paying to weigh. I get lots of support and have made friendships at group. I now have ladies on my fb who are a constant source of support and encouragement for me and we share photos of our meals and recipes etc...

LOVIIN THIS THRED!!!

I started SW at the end of september. I was starting to wear a size 18 jeans, since then i have lost 1st 5lbs. i am now starting to fit back into my size 16s and even bought a size 14 jacket at the weekend. my aim is to go dress shopping and only try 14 on.

but like some of you ladies,i have always had big boobs. at the moment im a G cup but even when i was a size 14 i was a F cup. has this made finding a dress hard for you?

Hi girls

Just been for my first weigh in since starting back on the diet and 14lbs down, extremely happy days! Makes Cambridge so worthwhile x

Someone mentioned the Dukan Diet at work and they've steadily lost a stone and a half by doing it. Has anyone heard of it and are there any recipe/menu ideas?

well done to all the girls that have lost weight. I've got my next weigh in a fortnight on Sunday. (it's once every 4 weeks). I'm thinking that may be too long and may have to buy some scales so can weigh myself around the 2 week mark. Just so I've got some encouragement mid month x

wow well done to eveyone who lost weight, and if you didnt dont stress over it too much, we all have our bad weeks or days.
I didnt do any zumba yesterday but did spend hours saturday walking round and round shops.
Did half hour today though and even OH said she can see and tell the difference already, she says i am much more active etc.

chiken korma for tea here

Hey all well after gaining 2 pound over Xmas I get weighed again tomorrow and guess what when I got on my scales this morning I was 3 pound lighter :) hopefully still be the same tomorrow morning or maybe even more ;) yay x

Lost another 0.75lbs last night woo. Back in the 8's as am 8st 13.75 yey

8 stone oh my word!!! That was many moons away for me x

Same for me MrsOwen. I think I was 18 when I was 8st .... I doubt I will ever see those days again now I have had 2 children!

Im having a bad week - havent lost an ounce :(
Ive been really good so far too
Need to start the exercise regime asap

I am keeping up with the zumba, though i only managed 15 minutes this morning not 25, my hips were just too sore to carry on anymore after that, but I have been out and about doing some errands, and i dont drive so walk almost everywhere unless i need to get a train or bus for a longer journey.

Really dont want to weigh myself as only done zumba 4 days out of 5 and am worried I havent lost anything yet.
But my OH says my ass is getting smaller, does that mean she thinks it was big? LOL

Tried a top on yesterday and it looked too big, and my slim fit jeans are now so big i can get them on and off without undoing the buttons or zip!

Well done ladies for loosing weight, and i hope everyones weigh in's are going well this week

I ate porridge for breakfast, a cereal bar for lunch, home made sausage casseroule and veg for tea (sausages grilled before and only a couple of pieces in my portion)
I dont measure portions - maybe i should

I did cut down cereal as a portion is way less than i thought and we used to just fill the bowl
I might have to go back to the soup diet - that always works for me

I eat soup most lunches but I have to say it takes a while to get into it as I am normally hungry. Also, I get so bored of it. Tomorrow, I am going to have a tin of tuna (with beans and tomatos), 100g cottage cheese and cucumber sticks. A random combination I know but I figured the tuna was better than ham in terms of protein? I dont know. May end up taking ham as at least that goes a bit better. Yes. Now I re-reat this I realise what a random combination that was originally haha! Then thurs is ww night so will be having crappy soup for lunch... see and I used to love soup :( Defo why I am having to now mix it up. Dont know what to have for tomorrow night for tea yet though. May have that spinach and ricotta canelloni since its ww on thurs and I am heavier than I was and will probably get told off.
