I weighed this evening at another group as i will be working tomorrow, i have lost another 1.5lb.... only 2lb to go till i get my 2 stone award!!

1.5lbs loss tonight! got my club 10 and slimmer of the week! :) 9lbs to target!

Well done girls, keep up the good work. x
My motivation has gone again but that's because i've got lots of other things going on at the mo.

Natalie I am borrowing the 2011 books off my mother in law. I cant afford to go to the meetings.

I am exhausted today and feeling down (that time of the month) and I need some comfort food!

Dont be scared to go in and weigh after xmas, you certainly wont be the only one who put on weight but if you put it off then you are setting yourself up for failure. Go and get it over with, know your damage, you may even be suprised! The thing is, you know that you can get back to target as you already did it once!!!

I am pleased that i am bang on 11stone now, from 12 12 on the 12th october. I have another 2 stone to go till i hit my target but will get there, maybe not by the wedding but certainly by the summer!

I have my dinner plan tonight, sweet red pepper stuffed with tomato and herb couscous with chilli con carne.... huge big plateful and no syns :)

If you pick up some of the alpen light bars, or hifi bars....( i think a kellogs hi fiber choccy bar is a healthy b as well now ) thats how i get my choccy fix, and curly wurlys are only 6 syns and freddo frogs are only 5 syns so you can still have chocolate within reason.
Couscous seems to be either you love it or hate it but you can flavour it however you like, Sometimes i use a chicken stock and add lemon juice and salad etc... sometimes i just use water and stir in a spoonful of sweet chilli sauce. I can make with lamb stock and add mint and lime zest.... there are loads of options. Tonight i have a tomato and herb mug shot couscous as i am at work and its easy.

yay just been to slimming world and i have lost 1.5lbs! that makes it 5.5lbs in 4 weeks :)

Hope you don't mind if I join in? I've only got about a stone to lose (currently 11st 2, been under 10 before and it was not a healthy look!) but it's being a right pain to shift it. Doesn't help that h2b is a big eater himself, and makes lots of very nice food! But he knows he also needs to lose weight, so looking forward to trying to work some food plans out with him! I have a gym membership, which I'll be using again once I'm over this blinking sinisitis, and hopefully be poling a lot more now work has stopped being ridiculous. Also looking forward to starting at an adult gymnastics class nearby!

Read the whole thread, some of the weightlosses in here are amazing, keep it up!

i do liek slimming world, but its all about cookin, which i dont mind on days of but i am a nurse and iw ork 3 or 4 13 hour shifts a week! wieght watchers is easier cos i can get weight watcher meals from m&s, tescos and proper weight watchers make! saturday is my weigh in day so sat nite is my naughty nite lol

I know cooking can be hard... i work 8 hour shifts as the norm, but get 1 or 2 24 hour shifts in a week also....
Add to that 2 children, a stack of housework, a dog that needs walking and a degree to study for you can imagine my days are pretty full. I find bulk cooking and freezing a godsend, and will often cook 2 or 3 bulk dishes on my day off.
My slow cooker also comes incredibly handy.... and pot shots are a staple part of my diet some realy busy weeks lol.

Oct Bride - - Ohhh that makes sense, sorry wasnt aware you were using 2011 books. I did check and it is free (along with garlic puree) so you can mark it in your books as free and use your syns on something else - see you were craving chocolate, a segment of terrys choc orange is 2.5 syns, 2 of them is normally enough to satisfy my cravings so maybe that will help?

Well done! you must have been doing something right :D

woohoo!! well done you !!

Thanks ladies xxx

I'm still eating christmas choccy leftovers but I'm limiting my intake.

myfitnesspal is really really helpful!

Haaha! brilliant!! well done you!!

im on 1200 cals a day and its working for me!

I just had toast. Ooops.

It's amazing at how much difference cutting out things like biscuits and crisps has done. Also switching to brown bread and cutting out lots of potato in my diet has done. I feel so much more energised.x

Well I have been doing just dance 3 on the wii and I'm going to buy Zumba this payday coz it looks fun. I like to dance rather than exercise as I think its more fun to do. Plus I daren't go to proper Zumba class in case I look like an idiot, so I'm gonns practice on the wii first.x

im a nurse too becky and work longdays. i plan my meals in advance. i have cereal for breakfast, soup and fresh fruit for lunch, and for tea i have pasta, with onions, garlic, courgette, mushrooms, tuna, pepper, sweetcorn, and chopped tomatoes, with a muller light yogurt ( i cook it the night before) and it all comes to 2 syns (you are allowed between 5 and 15 a day) and the meals fill me up so i dont snack

Sijen I dont think the dress will loss wownness because you will gain confidence & that will give a huge wave of wowness!x

Zumba dvd's are £9.99 on a certain deal website, let me know if you want me to put a link on my wall

Im sure i read somewhere that dresses can be taken in two sizes before they loose any details? Might be wrong though so dont quote me!

I lost 2.5lb this week! Really pleased! Weighed my milk out each morning, and had savoury rice at lunch with salad and chopped ham, seems to be doing the trick. And healthy meals of an evening. Had pizza and white choc chip cookies last night as a treat and back on track today. Got the magazine last night too so thats really inspired the chef in me to cook lol!

well done anni!!
