Hi Julie
what's the recipe with the sweet pots sounds good.
yesterday i had a m2m day
1/2 g/fruit egg,bacon,mushrooms,beef tom
1/2 g/fruit bat 98% ff noodles m/l yog
boiled rice with madras sauce (?) with prawns HEx2
fun size crunchie 4
total syns 11 ish (the curry was at an indian)
if anyone knows the "real" syn value of the madras sauce - only if lower than 7[msnwink] do i want to know!!
jan
ive just got in from the post office, and now managed to get on this morning,the weather is horrible up here today raining and blustery, and its match day as well so i will freeze, but cant miss it its a big one we play Liverpool, we will probably lose. Still 2 weeks today and im off to the villa, flying from Manchester so i hope the snow has gone by then and we dont get any delays, we are going down by train and it doesnt take much to delay them. pat
Jan, make sweet pots in the same way you make syn free chips only wedge shaped and serve them very extra light mayo[msnwink]
Pat I have just seen the Virgin to Orlando take off from my family room window, there is no snow here at the moment and I am sure you will be fine in to 2 weeks, are you coming down the night before just to be safe[msnwink]?
bit of a blip for me too yesterday Julie, felt tired and had a headache so opted for chinese take away instead of making something far more healthy
chicken chow mein approx 7 syns which was ok til i added a few prawn crackers and a WW banoffee pudding, [msnembarrased] i have syns saved from earlier in the week and by being extra carefull over the next few day i should still manage a small loss or stay the same[msneek]
it's bucketing down here and i have paid penance for those extra syns by taking Olly for a much longer walk than usual[sporty]i'll walk him again at tea time too
today i'm doing good, so far, will check in later
Jan there should be syn values for indian in the back of your food optomising book under take aways, from what i remember madras is one of the better ones, are you brave enough to look?[msnscared]
visiting mil this afternoon[msnsad]
Mizzy
got this recipe from class for a tasty alternative to chicken kiev
slice your chicken breast horizontaly and stuff the inside with a mixture made from laughing cow light cheese triangles mixed with crushed garlic and mixed herbs, wrap the breasts in lean bacon and cook for approx 20 mins in oven, serve with baked potato wedges or new potatoes using a healthy b and seasonal veg, laughing cow light is a healthy B for 5 triangles, you can swap the laughing cow light for another cheese from your healthy options list, tastes nice, mmmmm[msntongue]
Beef Madras 400g average serving is 11 syns on Red and 24 syns on Green[msnwink] Not sure how much just the sauce would be.

Hi Pat
Our game has been called off today which I am quite pleased about ! Good luck for today !
Janny meant to post yesterday about puds, so hope this is not too late - was at the hairdresser being created into a vision of beauty (had their work cut out then[msntongue]).
Have you got the Nov/Dec Slimmng World Mag - Mizzy made this pud and raved about it - Spiced apricot clafoutis - 5 syns on both days. Altneratively creamy mango & cardomom fool - 4½ syns.
Thanks Fiona I have those mags will have a look as its not too late at all.
and here's one i made earlier[msnwink]
http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/Data/mizzy/2006102420934_clafoutis.jpg
the clafoutis is very nice Janny and can be made in individual sizes, i made one with apricots and one with peaches, the verdict with our family that whilst both where nice the peach one was the favourite[msntongue]
I love the look of that Mizzy and I am going to try the peach one this week as it's half term and the children love cooking[msnsmile2]

pam our game ended up being on and im pleased it was as we won, good game as well.
julie we fly at around 13-30pm so we are getting the train down early in the morning at 06-30am, direct to the airport so we should be there in plenty of time, we may consider an earlier one if the weather takes a turn for the worse, we will keep our options open.
mizzy that dessert look delicious, i must look to see if ive still got the book. ive been excellent again today up yo now have only had 1/2 syn so have options for tonight, each time i think about food i try and put myself off for 1/2 an hour and just keep doing that until i break this munching habit after tea pat
Not a perfect day for me, but with * week approaching it never is[msnsad]
I did manage 50 mins on the treadmill doing high intesive interval training though[sporty][sporty][sporty]
Food dairy for me green as usual.....
scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast HE B
skinny latte x 2 HE A's
bananas, satumas and grapes
HiFi bar HE B
lots of water[angel][angel]
choccie buttons, few nibbles of DH's crisps etc[msncry][msncry]
Have a great evening[msnsmile2]
well i'm pleased to report a much better day for me today although emotionally i've been in a funny mood
i feel very fat and bloated and i think it's the steroids messing with my system, my self esteem has been low [msnsad] so i opted out of the visit to mil because i knew that if i went i'd feel even worse, she has that effect on me[msnscared]
i'm just glad that food wise i've pretty much kept it together, need some big hugs[grouphug] but alas it's footie tonight so dh pre occupied, what is it about men and football? aww well, i'll have to settle for good book and cadburys highlights later instead[msnsmile]
Julie, where is the food in your food diary? i can only see one meal and that's a small one (scrambled eggs and toast) pls tell me you have had some tea, no wonder you have the munchies mrs [msnwink]

i'm planning on having a good day too Julie, i'm still feeling fat and bloated[msnsad] but hoping that some vigorous exercise will make me feel better

Hope you have a great day and that everyone is having a great weekend
Mizzy
Morning all, been out to the farmers market for veggies and farm eggs, just making leek and potato soup for lunch and having roast chicken for supper, so will be having green day in view of soup! Should have made carrot and coriander but had loads of leeks. Only had 2 bananas for breakfast as allowing for roast supper tonight.
Made curry last night, chicken korma and beef madras, 2tbs of pataks paste and the rest onions for korma and onions & tomato for madras. Did add coconut to the korma and extra low fat creme fraiche so allowed for it in my syns.
Have a good day all, will walk the hounds this afternoon - DH did this morning's lot, younger one is v poorly and not eating so will have to watch - I feel a trip to the vet coming on!
i cant believe how well im doing this week,if im honest im guilty in past weeks of putting stuff in my mouth and not counting it, but this week ive stuck rigidly and wrote everything down, and also kept a diary of how im doing and feeling, if i can get to weigh day like this i will deserve a good weight loss, ive made a carrot cake out of sw book this morning it was really easy, so i will let you know later what it tastes like pat

Well done Pat - hope you keep going til weigh day!
Well, been florida shopping this morning, dh got stuff, son got stuff, ed got stuff and I bought stuff for yd (she's been at brownie camp this weekend - just picked her up - exhausted but has had a great time, first time away from home - didn't miss me a bit![msncry]), anyway, nothing for me as usual, I wasn't really in the shopping mood today so I'll go back another day.
I lost 1lb this week, which I really don't deserve, probably the rest of my [}:)] will catch up with me next week[msnscared]. Glad to say though that my back is finally feeling better so will get back on treadmill in the morning but will take it steady to start with.
Have updated my target below.

Good morning everyone

Had a fairly good weekend food and drink wise and am determined to have a really good week again this week starting today with:
breakfast - seriously oaty
lunch - usual pitta
dinner - grilled steak and baked potato
extras - apples, activa yoghurt, water and green tea
gym session [sporty]
Mizzy, hope you are feeling happier today, here are some hugs for you
[grouphug] [grouphug] [grouphug]
Morning all .
My evening went well on saturday with my sceptical friends who enjoyed the lamb shanks -they were absolutely delicious and so easy to do.However they did make a point of turnng up with a VERY big box of chocolates :(-which are still unopened I might add.[angel]
Just come in from my run its a bit wet but it was nice all the same .About to plan todays meals but have made a start with my porridge and fruit as usual.
Fiona
I hope your dog is soon better . Keep up the good work everyone
i'm much happier today thanks Julieanne, might not be so when i step on those scales tonight
Janny i'm glad the meal went well, what dessrt did you make?
Fiona, any news on the dog?
Pat and Julieanne you're doing great, keep up the good work[clap][clap][clap]
good luck to those weighing in today[msnwink]
Afternoon all, fruit for breakfast, couple of slices of ham with salad for lunch and beef stew with veggies planned for supper. Got some lovely purple sprouting broccoli at the market and will behaving that plus some carrots.
Millie (youngest dog) is much better thank you, far more bouncy today, although still obviously not 100%. I eventually got her to eat egg with toast soldiers last night and then some left over chicken. Am off to town in a minute to get some fish as feel it is a fish and rice to settle the tum more. She was all limp and lethargic yesterday and just lay around looking miserable and she was entirely different this morning.
Just trying to persuade ED that walking in the rain is not going to kill her and will save getting the car out!
Mizzy- by the time I got round to things I ended up with a fruit salad .

hi all
just been to get weighed and am really fed up put 1lb on. last night i couldn't stop munching fun size crunchie's x3 but the problem really was saturday to many vodkas so this week i am going for it - writing everything done, will offer to drive on sat when we go out so that way i don't drink. starting tomorrow will go on the treadmill for 30mins each day. feel better having written that down. good luck to all who get weighed today.
jan
Jan that's the sprit[clap][clap][clap] Go for it[sporty][sporty][sporty] We all have gains and there is no shame in a gain, and I am sure Helen gabe you some good advice[msnwink]
Good luck for tonight Mizzy[msnsmile2]
jan 1lb isnt a disaster it can come off and more in a week, and by the sounds of your determination it will be next week.
good luck to mizzy and paula for your weigh ins tonight.
ive had another good day ive not put anything in my mouth that hasnt been written on my diary, kept some syns for tonight but im trying hard to get out of the habit of eating at night,for a while its seems as though after ive had tea i just want to keep eating all night,but ive tried hard to cut right down pat
well i'm another one who's gained this week, i put a lb on too[msnembarrased], i know what i did to have the gain and i know what i have to do to lose it so must not moan and get on with it
it's back to basics for me[msnsmile] i've only 4 more weigh in til my holiday[msneek]

Mizzy we both must be going to have a fantastic week with a great loss. I feel like an[angel] at the moment cos at 9pm i thought about t and r OR 40mins on the treadmill and yes the treadmill won so you can imagine how i feel i just don't want to loose my determination. tomorrow i am planning on 45 mins on the treadmill in the morning then a day in manchester with my daughter and 2 grandchildren coming back and 45 mins on once more. i'll say goodnight and thank you all for your support. night night
jan
Mizzy
Thank you so much for information on roast potatoes. Sorry for delay with thanks but I have been unable to get internet connection since Saturday morning when my telephone went funny and kept cutting people off. Now have access thank goodness!!!!!
I am sure you will lose the 1lb you put on with all the support from the girls on here ... go Mizzy go....[sporty]
I invested in a pair of Weigh[bad language filtered out]cher scales from Macy's last night. They were $75 but it was a tax free weeekend, plus the 11% etc.etc. so got the for $52. Did not like what they showed - looks like I am the same as when I got here 5 weeks ago!! Tonight we visited a new restaurant and had macedamia crusted chicken with a creamy pasta sauce..ouch[msnscared]
Must get some excercise this week[sporty][sporty] and pray[angel]
Good luck to everyone this week with your weigh in.
Sandra
Morning all, well I am following the trend with 1lb on[msncry] I know it is due to the extra few choccies I have had but also the horrible * week[msnsad]
I have made a deal with one of my members that we will text each other if we eat any extra this week so I am going to have a fabulous first week again!!!
Mizzy and Jan, come on girls we can do this[clap][clap][clap]
I am planning on going on the treadmill this morning then weather permitting the children and I are going out leaflet dropping - they are on half term - so lots of exercise to day plus 100% food optimising too[sporty][clap][sporty][clap]
Sandra it maybe be that the new scales weigh heavier than those at SW [msnwink]
Have a great day all!!!!

Morning all
missed the weigh in yesterday so have been today and am happy to report 2lb down [msnsmile2] Just one more to go for the first half stone!!
I know I have not been posting much but have been reading and well done to everyone- keep up the good work.
Have cleared the garage so I can now get to the cross trainer so am going to have a bash at it today as I can't get to the swimming pool today.
Have a great day everyone
im sure jan and mizzy you will have no bother getting yourselves going this week you sound full of determination, i havent been on the treadmill this week, i suffered quite a bit with my knees after being on it last week so i think i will just have to do it 2 or 3 tmes a week at a gentle pace. but the food plan is going excellent im just off to plan todays menu, i think it will be SWbeefburgers for tea as the whole family like them, i much prefer to make something we all like i dont feel quite so left out and deprived see you later be good pat
sorry julie i posted my reply before i turned to page 53 come on you can do it too, it will just take a day or two and you all will be back in the swing of things, god i feel like an [angel]preaching to you all like this its usually the other way round pat
Morning all, just off out with the hounds - younger one continuing to improve - wolfed down fish and rice last night!
DH's birthday today so out to supper tonight - but am going to make them sit in the car while I nip in and be weighed.
Not sure what I will be having tonight so playing safe at the moment, omelette with mushrooms and tomato for breakfast, salad for lunch and fruit, which hopefully will leave me free to choose whatever I like (ha!) at the restaurant - probably go for a steak or one of the salads. But might just find room for a pud[msnwink].

jan
Had a great day so far with exercise - did 30 mins high intensity intervals on treadmill then we when out doing sw leaflets for another 2 hours walking[sporty][sporty][sporty]
Food wise - good breakfast of banana and yogurt but made the classic mistake of going to Sainsburys when I was starving and had a homemade cookie then got home having forgot to get eggs which I was having for lunch and whilst making cheese and ham panini's for the children I ate half on one[msnembarrased][msnembarrased][msnembarrased]
well done the with weight loss Jan (stabard) that's great news [clap][clap][clap]
the other Jan (bluemoon) good to hear you're keeping it all together, my halo is chooking me too
Fiona good luck for the weigh in, have a great night out and lucky you straight after a weigh in, no excuse not to have that pud really[msnwink]
Julie, come on mrs don't let a few mishaps spoil the rest of the day, you can do this[msnsmile]
i'm having a good day so far, mil has been extremely nice and very complimentary about how i look, it's most unlike her to find anything she likes about me so it's quite unnerving[msneek]
i survived the outlet shopping trip and had a pepermint tea in thorntons[clap] will post food diary later

Good morning all, well it is morning here in sunny Florida. The scales were showing a slight gain at the weekend so have decided I must be good for the next few days food wise. am having fruit for breakfast each day, avoiding the croissants and muffins that everyone else has.[angel] Salad for lunch, although we had pitta bread yesterday when we were at one of the Malls. That leaves me free to have my syns in the evening the form of alcohol and nibbles.
There seems so much going on here at the moment it is really difficult to keep up, but well done to all the losses during the last week[clap][clap][clap].[clap] I am sure that those of you who have gained will soon loose it though. Just off to ring Sally to find out how she is, but she certainly did well last week with her loss.
Sandra, I will try and give you a ring later and we can carry on from where we left off the other day. I did try and ring you but could not get through, now know why. Karen, if you are around send us a DM and perhaps we can meet up.
bit more chuffed this week. stuck to best i can...lost plot once and ate a FULL packet of jaffa cakes[msntongue]...but cut out some stuff to get back on track..
this week i lost 4lbs so that makes me 1/2lb to lose for easter target....
report back next tuesday....be good people....[msnsmile2]
well done paul it may be you will have to rethink your target for easter, on your peformance up to now, im sure the rest of the ladies will echo how jealous we are of you,
ive had another good day, i had a chocolate off my daughter earlier out of a box her boyfriend bought her for valentines, ive no idea what make they were so i cant count the syn value so ive allowed 4 syns. by the way i made the carrot cake out of a sw book on sunday its ok but its a bit soggy in the middle and its not sweet enough for me and it could do with more spice. so im not sure if i will make it again pat

Sorry not been around for a while but havn't been too well these last couple of weeks!![msnsad][msnsad]
So you can imagine my weight has been abit of a yo yo. I lost 3lbs initially but then put back on 2lb's and then have slowly mananged to lose the 2lbs again !! ( so still the same at the moment for me!)[msncry]
Think my medication has something to do with it but I'll still keep trying.
Hope everyone else are doing well, will try and catch up when I can.

well done Jaff another great loss [clap][clap][clap] and losing the plot once isn't too bad a jaffa cake is 2.5syns so working on the assumption that there's 12 in the packet that would be 30syns, well within your weekly allowance, i have one suggestion
how about building in the odd biscuit or treat? so you don't suddenly lose the plot and eat the full packet in one go, that way you won't be depriving yourself and having those guilty feelings that i'm sure engulfed you after you realised that you'd eaten the full packet, would that work better for you?
Sharon, i was just wondering about you earlier today, it'll get better so hang on in there[grouphug]
Jill, good to hear you're having a great time and being an[angel] too
Food wise here's my food diary for today
usual brekkie 2syns
plums
no time for lunch[msneek] not recommended i know[msnembarrased]
yogurt and banana
plums
quorn bolognese and masses of pasta
mini highlights 4 syns
total 6 syns[clap]
forgot to say earlier, whilst at the outlet village i bought 4 small jars of flavoured coffee from Julian Graves, it's calorie and sugar free so should be syn free but need to check it out for sure, the flavours i choose where ameretto, hazlenut, creme caramel and double choc and they all smell gorgeous[msntongue]
did i mention i have some of my sense of smell back, it's not all there but the odd smell really knocks me off guard, after not able to smell now for over 6 years it's a little wierd, my food tastes different too, better different[msnsmile]
i do have a biscuit everydat....have 2 finger kitkat....but i was feeling rather lets jus say...a bad day
Paul very well done[clap][clap][clap] Great loss[clap][clap][clap]
Bad day for me yesterday so not even going to think about posting a food diary, it was not the quantity but the quality[msnembarrased][msnembarrased][msnembarrased]
So onwards and upwards[msnsmile2] Off to Blackpool today[msneek] Inlaws are there for a weeks break so we are going to take the children and meet them for lunch and I am sorry if I offend anyone but I hate Blackpool[msnscared] Will be really good with food today though[clap] and we should have a nice long walk weather permitting[msnsmile2]
Sharon hope you are Ok now[grouphug]
Jill glad you are haning a nice time in Florida[clap]
Have a great day all[sporty][sporty][sporty][sporty][sporty]

jan
i'm not at blackpool Jan, Julie is, hope Julie is having a good time becuase like her i'm not a blackpool fan either, i've been once and that was enough
my halo is still fine, i will not get the longer walks with Olly today (i've had two short ones once with the dog and then from my hairdressers to my mums) so i'll make up for it with some extra vigorous housework, the house looks shocking anyone coming in would think we'd been burgled[msnembarrased]
food wise i've has usual brekkie and batchelors pasta and sauce for lunch so all syn free up to now, planning on having sweet potato wedges for tea with chilli beans and quorn sausages which is my all time favourite tea and i'm making a fruit salad to get me out of the "must have a sweet biscuit after lunch, tea etc" i always crave something sweet after a meal, why??????
Pat, have a lovely romantic night out, enjoy it but choose wisely[msnsmile]
after this morning visit to the hairdressers i'm back to my nat strawb blonde and i got a lovely compliment about how much slimmer i look since she last saw me[msnwink]

mizzy im not going out tonight, we went shopping today, im looking for a pair of trousers to travel to florida in, i would like something casual, not dress pants, im a bit lonk in the tooth for cargo pants and i didnt want jeans,they are a bit heavy, i usually go in jogging pants but the ones i have are too big(how good is that) but ive not seen any i like. i think i need to go to m&s and see what i can find there.
we had a sandwich for lunch in a coffee shop i went for damage limitation with a cheese toastie the bread was white but better than a huge crusty sandwich with loads of mayo in it, so i was quite proud of myself. good luck to anyone weighing in tonight pat

well done pat on resisting tempatation - crusty bread how yummy, you to must have your halo on!!![msnwink]
julie at least you got plenty of excerise.
jan
Jan , did you make the mousse thing with the jelly and muller yog, i used to do them now you've got me thinking
Julie, good to hear about the exercise and that you didn't succumb to fish and chips or hot sugared donuts like you know who[msnembarrased]
Pat how about a pair of linen/cotton mix wide leg trousers rather than joggies, they are comfortable and smart/casual? and they never go out of fashion
well i'm very pleased to report that my halo has remained firmly in place today
the house is spotless so i must have burned a few cals off there

Evening all
Well done to all who have lost this week [clap][clap][clap].
I've had a really good week refused lots of chocolates at work today!! Weigh in tomorrow night but don't feel as if I have lost anything I will be so disappointed if I don't have a decent loss this week.
i'm sure you will have lost Pam, if you can honestly say you've stuck to the plan 100% and you have been aware of the syns you've eaten then you should have a loss
if it helps i have lots of women stand at the scales saying they don't feel like they have lost and most are pleasantly surprised[msnsmile]
Mizzy
Well I seem to have kept up the 1lb trend as I gained it last week - now I am 1.5 from my target.It seemed as if 75% of my group gained last night and those that did lose -the losses were small ones so I didn't feel so bad.
.Think I probably ate too much meat as that always seems to do me in .So it's back to the green this week to see if I can shift what I need.
Just come back from a 45 min run outside -it was lovely - to discover my "friend" has entered me into the Race for Life again in June so I need to get the K's under my belt.
Good luck to those weighing in for the rest of the week.
pam i feel like that too, im really dreading weighing in, although hand on heart i have had a perfect week, if i havent it has been a small mistake i have made.
its happened to me before when i feel like i deserved a good weight loss and have stayed the same,the expectations are so high when you know you have done well,and then it doesnt show on the scales.but im now talking to myself and convincing myself that no matter what the scales show i feel like ive lost.
thats a good idea mizzy about the trs im going to look this weekend to see what i can find. ive seen some which are linen but they crease so easy and after sitting for so long on the journey i will look like ive been dragged through a hedge backwards by the time i get off the plane.
pat
Good luck with weigh ins ladies, I am sure you will be OK. It is very rare for anyone to have a completly 100% week but people still lose weight by doing it 80, 90, 99% of the time etc. As consultants we often ask for a show of hands for anyone who has truly had a 100% week and as yet I have not had anyone[msnwink]
I certainly have not had a good week so far but I plan to turn it around from today and hopefully I will have a loss come Tuesday[msnsmile]
Have a great day all!!!

Sneaked a few pieces of panda licquorice last night
Todays food
seriously oaty, mango and orange smoothie
chicken slices and sweetcorn relish on malted grain bap
chicken stir fry with 2oz brown rice
activa yog, apple, water and green tea

I'm off to the gym again tonight
Well done Tracy and Janny on your pound losses

Evening all, busy couple of days. Well weigh in produced a small gain of +½lb - so going with the trend on here then! Also was a sign of the evening. Went to a restaurant we eat at regularly and have always had a good meal, but Tues pm the food was dreadful. I had a veggie risotto that was so bland - no herbs, seasoning or even parmesan to make it taste of anything. Girls both had caesar salad - which I might add (as I told the manager) they have eaten all over the world without any problems) - and it was absolutely inedible - so strongly fishy it was revolting. After complaining we got the caesars refunded (although only 1 was taken off the bill, but by then we just wanted out of there), and free puds.
So disappointing meal when it was to celebrate DHs birthday. Lesson learnt - stick to what you know is ALWAYS good, even if it is a little more. Mind you £110 for 4 is hardly cheap - and that is without the puds and 1 caesar salad. And to add insult to injury YD up half the night being ill[msnmad]!
Good day yesterday, good today until I succumbed to a hot cross bun, just about to look it up and no doubt it will horrify me enough not to eat any more!
i'm having a great day too, yet again i've made another huge fruit salad and the whole family seems to be enjoying dipping in, just hope there's some left for my supper
so far today i've had usual brekkie
leek and potato soup
fruit salad
tea will be wholewheat pasta with chopped up quorn sausages, mushrooms, spring onions and sweet chilli sauce (3 syns for the sauce)
total syns with tea will be 5 [angel] and i've not thought of chocolate once today[msnoo]
i've also walked everywhere i could, about 3.5 miles i reckon[clap][clap][clap]
good luck for those weighing in tonight
Nothing for me to update as I stayed the same, I am happy with that as I did go off track a few times, out for a meal last Friday, I shared a starter then had crab cakes and salad and some chips [msnoo]chocolate yesterday and Monday I had to work until 10pm as we were running a competition in Farnham and sandwiches were supplied[msneek]
well done Sally for staying the same [clap] it will be harder for you, must be very close to target now?
Fiona, we must have been typing at the same time earlier so i hope you don't think i was ignoring you, i think that's disgusting how you where expected to pay for inedible food, do you know that you can refuse to pay and only offer what you think the food is actually worth?, hassle, i know but you are legally entitled to do this, it also sounds like your daughter has perhaps a little food poisoning or the hygene was amiss somewhere in the restaurant, uurghhh doesn't bear thinking about does it[msnmad] don't worry about the 1/2lb gain as you know from experience it will soon go, and i'm not sure, but i think a hot cross bun is about 9syns[msnoo]
Mizzy
hi all, im back from my hugely dissapointing weigh in i lost 1lb, after the fantastic week ive had i deserved more, but its happened to me before, and now ive got to talk myself into doing the same next week, as its the last before my holiday,
there was a 1/2 lb gone astray somewhere along the line,so if you are updating the weight lost julie will you add 1 1/2 off for me please thanks pat
Pat
Don't be too hard on yourself. It is a loss and could roll over next week if you stay focused to a further and maybe bigger loss. Hang on in there.
Sandra
Morning everyone, sorry havent got time to name everyone, so just to say keep up the good work, don't be put off by any gains or maintains, lets keep the positives going and remember spring is just around the corner[msnsmile2]

Morning all,
I weighed in last night and lost 1 pound. I feel exactly the same as you do Pat very disappointed after an excellent week. At this rate it will take forever to lose all this FAT ![msnsad][msnsad][msnsad]
Anyway I will keep going and hope for better next week.
morning everyone, and pam its not a nice feeling, but im going to do the same as i did last week and write everything down and just see if it rolls over and comes off the next week,it will be even harder but i am going to give myself a good talking to, and also we talked last night in class about losing inches if not weight i wish i had measured myself at the start because i do feel slimmer, maybe there is too much pressure on what the scales say, our consultant has not had a good jannuary and she has decided she will get on the scales, have her weigh recorded but doesnt want to know the result, because she knows by her clothes when she has lost weight. its a bit late for me now as its so close to my holidays, but it may be worth considering when i come back.
by the way i cheated last night, so im playing catch up. pat
well done Pat and Pam, a lb-2lb each week is what's recommended for safe and longer term weightloss, you're more likely to keep it off by losing slow and steady[clap][clap][clap] and i know it's frustrating to lose it this way as i've been in the same position but remember a 1lb a weeks is 52 lbs in a year and i'm sure you would both be pleased with that sort of loss[msnsmile2]
remember also the fable of the tortiose and the hare?, well there's a lot to be said about those who are slow and steady after all the tortoise won the race[msnwink]
i would also say that we sometimes we can get get obsessed with the number on those scales so like your consultant suggested Pat, there's other ways to determine how well you are doing,
for example, your health may have improved, energy increased, improved self confidence, clothes feeling and fitting better and by actual body measurements, all are very good indicators of success and some are worth more than any number the scales may throw up at you
so keep up the good work ladies, you are both doing excellent and should be proud of your achievements[msnsmile2]

[msncry] No weigh in last week so was hoping for double good news this morning. But over the last two weeks I have put on one and a half pounds bringing my total loss down to two and half [msncry]
And to make it worse I have a difficult weekend to contend with [msnscared]. Not a very nice occasion but a post funeral tea late this aftenoon, then an (unconnected) party at an Indian restaurant tonight. Also eating out tomorrow night, Chinese this time so I'm going to have to be very strong [msneek]

well done Pat and Pam, a lb-2lb each week is what's recommended for safe and longer term weightloss, you're more likely to keep it off by losing slow and steady[clap][clap][clap] and i know it's frustrating to lose it this way as i've been in the same position but remember a 1lb a weeks is 52 lbs in a year and i'm sure you would both be pleased with that sort of loss[msnsmile2]
remember also the fable of the tortiose and the hare?, well there's a lot to be said about those who are slow and steady after all the tortoise won the race[msnwink]
i would also say that we sometimes we can get get obsessed with the number on those scales so like your consultant suggested Pat, there's other ways to determine how well you are doing,
for example, your health may have improved, energy increased, improved self confidence, clothes feeling and fitting better and by actual body measurements, all are very good indicators of success and some are worth more than any number the scales may throw up at you
so keep up the good work ladies, you are both doing excellent and should be proud of your achievements[msnsmile2]

morning everyone, and pam its not a nice feeling, but im going to do the same as i did last week and write everything down and just see if it rolls over and comes off the next week,it will be even harder but i am going to give myself a good talking to, and also we talked last night in class about losing inches if not weight i wish i had measured myself at the start because i do feel slimmer, maybe there is too much pressure on what the scales say, our consultant has not had a good jannuary and she has decided she will get on the scales, have her weigh recorded but doesnt want to know the result, because she knows by her clothes when she has lost weight. its a bit late for me now as its so close to my holidays, but it may be worth considering when i come back.
by the way i cheated last night, so im playing catch up. pat

Yes Pat me too, we will just have to keep plodding away we will get there in the end [msnwink]

Pat once you have copied and pasted the target list in your reply - just overwrite your loss with your new weight before you submit the reply :)

Julieanne, you are very close to your target weight? and with all this exercise you may be building muscle now so that could explain the gain[msnsmile]

Pat are you all updated now or would you like to to do it for you, sorry I havent been able to do it for you earlier[msnsmile2]
Off to make a home made chow mein for my tea[msnsmile] Catch up later[msnwink]
julie i will give it a go first and if i cant do it i will let you know thanks anyway,
mizzy its hard when the kids are off school ive got my grandaughter staying with me at the moment but as she is older it doesnt make a lot of difference
we didnt go to the metrocentre today GD hasnt been too well so we will see what she is like tomorrow, ive had a really good day food wise pat
well just reporting in to say it's been a good day for me, at times stressfull but overall good
i survived the cinema and had one rhubarb and custard boiled sweet[angel]
came home and just had lovely steak and the works, feeling very pleased with myself[clap]
Pat, if you visit the metroland website i think you can print out a buy one get one free ride all day wristband for the metroland, will keep that grandchild of yours and perhaps a friend of hers occupied for hours, whilst you hit those shops[msnwink]
Julie B, haven't heard from you for a while hope you are ok?, not long now[msnsmile2]
Mizzy
Morning all!!!!
Food diary from yesterday.........

skinny lattes HE A's
chow mein 4 syns for sauce
extra milk 6 syns
4 choccies 8 syns
lots of water
I went over my syns but still OK with total syns for week[msnwink]
The weekend is a difficult time but with the children back at school next week and I am planning a fab week from Monday[clap][clap][clap]
Have a wonderful weekend all[msnsmile2]
Oh forgot to tell you I have re booked our Virgin tickets for next year April 16 2008 for 2.5 weeks[clap][clap][clap] Need to find the villa now[msnsmile2]
thanks mizzy for that info, but im afraid she is a bit past that now, unfortunatly, she is 16 and now loves the shops herself, i know which would be the cheapest option. i too had an excellent day yesterday and if we are going to the metro centre today i will be good, its probably better going today as getting a good day this week under my belt after my diisapointment at the weigh in i may have just blown it yesterday and ended up eating all the wrong things while out, but now i have it out of my system and back on track. pat
julie ive just read your message on the bottom of your food diary about booking up for next year, thats great. am i right in thinking thats when your children are on easter holiday, its not right on easter next year with it falling so soon, dont leave it too long before you book as we have already had enquiries for then, unfortunatly we dont advertise on OV there is a waiting list and we cant get on at the minute, w have had enquiries from other sites. but its a very popular time of year. pat
Pat its actually after Easter as Easter is 21-24 March so its when the children are back at school, its the first time EVER we will be taking them out of school, but my son will have done all his exams and will be due to go to grammar school in the following Sept and my youngest is still really young, the older 3 will not be coming[msnwink]

Hello everyone,
Well, been hard at it this week. Deep deep cleaning ready for when we go away. We have my niece staying in our house whilst we are away and couldn't have anyone staying in the house the way it was! I've had half term so had to make the most of the time, don't normally have time with working nearly full time. I've done so much spring cleaning this week you wouldn't believe!
Foodwise, been up and down, not too bad, lots of exercise but some things passed my lips that maybe shouldn't have[msnembarrased].
Had a bit of a bad day on Wednesday. Went shopping for clothes for Florida. ED talked me into trying on a tankini! Wish I Hadn't! I found it very sole destroying. After feeling quite good with having lost what I had so far, I put this thing on and felt like I hadn't lost a thing! Who was this blobby fat thing looking back at me from the mirror - it couldn't be me, I've lost 2 and a half stone, I couldn't still be this big![msnsad]. Still, after quickly putting the tankini back on the hanger, my ED (13 going on 30!!) gave me a good talking to and said that actually it didn't look as bad as I said it did and just imagine how I would feel if I hadn't lost the weight I have, I'd be even bigger than I am and twice as fed up!
Anyway, all was made up for when I found 2 pairs of shorts and another pair of trousers that I haven't been able to wear for at least 4 years. I tried on a pair of the shorts with one of the new vest tops that I had bought and stood 5 feet away from the mirror instead of 5 inches and actually realised that it looked ok!
So, there's my week, ups and downs and now another week closer to florida! (only 3 weeks to go now![msnsmile2]. Weigh in for me tomorrow, though not holding out much hope for a loss!
Julie B
you never know julie b with all that work you have been doing it could well be a loss so best of luck,
well we havent been to the metro centre today either but will definitly go one day next week,i need one or two things for myself for my holiday next saturday.
julie my grandaughters school doesnt have the easter holiday until April 4th next year, thats why i mentioned it, i downloaded a copy of school holls of the council website to give me some idea as to price the seasons for the villa, so it seems there may be different holidays in different areas around the country for easter next year, it will be weird not everybody spending it at the same time pat

That's weird because Easter weekend for 2008 is 21-24 March[msnscared] Most schools incorporate the Easter weekend either at the begining, end or middle of the school holidays.
My son breaks up on the 4 April this year but in 2008 he breaks up on Thursday 20th March[msnwink]
Julie B, you sound just like me, i too have been trying on holiday clothes, looking in the mirror and not best pleased with what i'm seeing, i admit i do look slightly better in my swimsuit, admittedly with a sarong[msneek] but there is definately an improvement though[msnsmile]
and you will show that too Julie B, don't be so critical off yourself[grouphug] you have done really well so remember that and try not to be too hard on yourself[grouphug]
food wise 100% for me today, had a special saturday night treat, a caramac[msntongue] 8-9 syns (think it's 9) but sooo worth it
lots of cleaning, just like you julie B[msnwink] some odd jobs for dh, mainly improving outside security, new lights, fixing a fence that got damaged in the gales of a few weeks ago, he moaned a lot but i want it doing before our hols
long beach walk planned for tommorrow and with all this exercise and my halo [angel] still firmly in place i'm hoping for a good loss on monday
good luck to those weighing in tommorow and before me on monday[clap]
Mizzy
Well done Mizzy[clap][clap][clap]
I am feeling the same though girls I look in the mirror and I can't see where it has come off[msnsad]
Really bad day today so enough said, I could feel it brewing though[msncry][msncry][msncry]
for you Julie[grouphug][grouphug][grouphug]
<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by mizzy

[/quote]
Thank you[grouphug]
Back on track tomorrow[sporty]
come on girls think about how much you have lost, and dont be so hard on yourselves about the reflection you see in the mirror, because you must have felt worse before you had lost the weight. i have got an awful long way to go, and i cant help looking back over a lot of years more than i care to remember at the wasted years being fat, but i try and just look foward and hope the last years of my life are going to make me feel healthier, i know its too late to look good, as i wanted to be years ago, but we all have regrets. think what you will look like the next time you go to florida, absolute goddesses, NOT good goddesses. cooommmeee oooonnn pat
Evening all, yes I agree with Pat, think positive about what you have lost. I would agree I still see a humungous heffalump in the mirror, but I do try and say to myself, and what would you have looked like if you haven't lost the stone and a half you have.
Another busy day - down to MIL (yippee doo) today, ate in an Italian restaurant - had pasta that arrived swimming in oil, so left the bottom layer and picked all the veggies and pasta off the top. Had a lovely goats cheese salad for starter though. Salad and a small plate of tomato pasta for supper as had no time to shop and we were just s[bad language filtered out]ping from leftovers. Good news is she has finally agreed to put her name down for a residential home up here, so all we have to do now is wait until a vacancy comes up - oh and get rid of everything in her flat she has collected for past 40+ years since they came home from Hong Kong. Awful weather down in Bournemouth compared to the Thames Valley where it was lovely when we left - so made the mistake of no pash and just a jacket and froze!
Will plan my menus tomorrow am for the next week and then do my weekly shop, and give the house a lick and a promise, looking decidedly grubby round the edges!
Good news - YD got her self a part-time job at the local cinema, 2 nights a week until midnight (so have given long lecture about being organised with homework). They are both nights she has a late start the next morning for college.
Morning all, feeling terrible today I now know its hormones which would explain how I have been the last few days, so got to get a grip, planning a good day with full monty sw breakfast with quorn sausages etc and then a long walk to clear my headache followed by a sw sunday roast.
Am I the only one that suffers from both PMT and PostMT[msncry]
Have a great Sunday all[grouphug]
ooh poor you Julie, it seems to be getting worse this pmt [grouphug] i hope you can get through the day without it causing too much mischeif, i had a full monty green day SW brekkie for lunch yesterday, it was mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm[msntongue]yummy! you never know a after a good brekkie you may feel a little better, after all the sun's shining[clap]
i'm going to keep myself busy today, got to admit i'm feeling positive about tommorrows weigh in, actually looking fwd to it[msneek]
Mizzy
Hello all been fairly good so far so I can maybe lose the last 1.5 lbs I need to .Went to dinner last night to the friend who beieves the weight will go back on and brought me the big box of chocs last week .I have to admit she was very good to me and provided a low fat cheesecake for pud which I ate .The rest of the meal was a roast so not too bad -I just had to go easy on the gravy .
We are having a taster night on wed at class so I decided to make a batch of choc chip cookies for John & Martin to try out as I am not used to the electric over we have here -I wish I could tell you what they were like but they have all gone !so I am assuming they were ok and will make another batch for the class .
enjoy the weekend -or whats left of it anyway .
Janny they sound yummy, can you post the recipe as I would love to make them[msnsmile2]
We have been out for a long walk to John Lewis, stopped for a small skinny latte, the children had cake but I was an [angel] so I am just cooking a roast chicken and lots of sw roast pots[msntongue]

Morning everyone :)
Another hectic weekend for me. No beer but I did have some wine. Tried to chose things from the Indian buffet that weren't smothered in creamy sauces. The chinese I had yesterday probably did more damage [msnscared]
Back on track today though
seriously oaty for breakfast
I've made the SW mexican sandwich filling and filled a wholemeal pitta with that for lunch
also brought to work an activa yoghurt, 2 apples, 2 clemtines and a banana
nothing planned as yet for tonight, which is dangerous for me as I will be starving when I get back from the gym and need to be organised or else I'll end up eating rubbish [msneek]

20-02-2007, 12:43
Well done Mizzy and Jan [clap] [clap]
You are sounding very positive and determined Julie - you will have a fab week this week [msnwink]
I ended up eating pizza last night - but it was a small WW one and I had a big plate of salad with it and lots of fruit afterwards [clap]
Today's planned food -
seriously oaty
roast chicken, thin spread of onion relish on malted grain bread
tonight I think will be poached eggs, beans and toast
lots of fruit and water too
Julie, i know you must be feeling pretty rotten right now so this is for you[grouphug] i also want you to think about how you would encourage a class member to move on from a similar setback and come out of class feeling more positive about the week ahead
you can do this and you have done it so how can you help yourself?
here's a few things my consultant would say
throw out any left overs from christmas that may have been slipping into your plan
weigh and measure those A's and B's
plan your food for the next few days and go shop so that you have all your cupboards full with the right things you should be eating
ask yourself are you eating enough of the right food or have you cut the portion size down so you are leaning more to those extra syns
don't deprive yourself or make yourself miserable by cutting out foods, build in those syns
and finally are you getting complacent?, it may help to go back to the begining and treat today as the first week, read your book again and magazines to get you motivated
god that sounds bossy when you type it all down but hope this all helps any of us who are struggling[msnsmile]
good going again Julieanne[clap]and good luck to anyone weighing in today[clap]
Mizzy
Thanks Mizzy that's exactly what I have done[msnsmile]
I had a great day yesterday and plan to again today and the rest of the week, I know last weeks problem were due to a combination of the children being off school so my normal routine went out the window, plus I had terrible hormones that increased my cravings for sweet things[msnsad] But that's all behind me now and I am going for a 2-3lb loss[clap]
Have a great day all[msnsmile]
Hi everyone
Just arrived home after 6 weeks in Florida and don't really want to get on the scales as I have a feeling that I have put 3 lbs on!! My weigh in is on Thursday, but I am dreadful at exercise and don't do any except a bit of browsing around the shops, so am dreading going as I will be so cross with myself. Since I started at SW last Oct. I have not had a gain so this would be the first
[msnscared][msneek]
Well done Jan on your 3lbs. You must be walking on air. Good luck everyone this week and hope you follow Jan's downward trend.

[/quote]
I second that Julieanne!
Sandra if you get back on track from today you may well have a maintain[clap][clap][clap]
Sandra, EVERYONE at some point has a gain and as the others have said 3lbs is nothing, you have got to ask yourself if you have enjoyed your holiday and i'm pretty certain the answer would be YES!
now ask yourself would you have enjoyed it without all the little treats and with constantly worrying what your eating everyday? and i'm pretty certain that you would answer No to that one
you don't have to feel guilty for enjoying yourself and with this plan you will always have ups and downs especially as you get nearer to target when you're working at just how many extra B's to include to maintain the weight loss, that part is incredibly hard
i'm sure with a little determination and effort you could shift 1.5-2lbs over the next few days, it's a simple case of acknowledging the gain, not feeling guilty about it and getting straight back on the plan[clap][clap][clap]
Mizzy I love your posts you are so inspirational[clap][clap][clap]

Sandra, I go to florida for 3 weeks on 10th March and if I've put on double that in half the time I still will be doing well!
Well done Mizzy, keep going Mrs, only 3and a half weeks to go for you!
All my holiday shopping is now done, not much for me as usual, but enough to see me though and who knows, maybe I'll find stuff over there for me! Tried on several different lots of swimwear that I'd ordered yesterday, not nearly as traumatic as I thought it would be and actually the one piece cossie looked far worse than the 2 peice! Tankini for the water parks though, I don't think the world is ready for me in bikini just yet![msnwink] (nor me either come to that!).
Julie, keep going girl, I know you can do it![msnsmile2]. You are an inspiration to us all, keep it up!
Jan, well done on your loss, thats fab!
Keep going everyone else, sorry if I've missed anyone!

Very wise words Mizzy ! Frankly I would be happy with just a 3lb gain after two weeks in Florida Sandra let alone 6 weeks I think you have done really well.

20-02-2007, 19:54
There is so much to read and keep up-to-date. All I can is well done to all the losses[clap][clap][clap] and hard luck to those who have gained[grouphug][grouphug], I'm sure you will all loose those gains soon enough.
Sandra, sorry I did not get back to you but we have been so busy with guests and jobs, including put in a new PC that time has just gone by. We now have less than a week to go and there are still masses of jobs to be done.
I have not been too good this last week but the scales out here do not actually show a gain but I do find that hard to believe. Once our last lot of guests have gone I will be able to have a good week as nearly all the goodies will have been finished, apart from a few biscuits which DH can finish. I have done quite a bit of swimming but not much walking, I shall have to get those feet walking when I get home. Tansy will not know what has hit her. Extra long walks for the next few weeks to get fit. I have done masses of shopping for new clothes while here, although I'm not the only one. I do not think I have ever spent so much on clothes as I have done this holiday, all at incredible prices as well. No more clothes shopping for me for the rest of the year I have been told.
Off to do some more jobs now. Will see you when I get home and let you know the news on a loss or gain.
hi everyone ive been missing for a couple of days ive been so busy getting ready for our holiday on saturday. i was at the metrocentre yesterday for approx 5-6 hrs and i was exauhsted when i got home, i didnt do too bad foodwise, i didnt have any healthy bs as i had a toasted teacake in the middle of the afternoon, lunch had been potato wedges and coleslaw which i didnt know the syn value of so i didnt have any syns.i had a sm plate of pasta n sauce for tea when i came home, so up to now that has been my only green day all week
today i went out for lunch with friends and had a mixed grill with 2-3 potato wedges and tomato, and after, a bowl of fresh fruit salad with a sm scoop of vanilla ice cream, for tea ive had one slice of bread with bacon, and i succummed to a very thin pancake with a little choc spread and a banana, so i dont think ive done major damage, i havent tried updating my weight loss yet i will just wait till thursday weigh in and see what happens then. pat

that's great Tracey [clap][clap][clap] you must be very pleased, you can have fish from a fish shop as a free food on the red[msnsmile2] sadly though you have to remove the batter and NOT eat it[msnsad] i could never do this [msnembarrased] so the chippie is a no go area for me
Mizzy
Well done Tracey[clap][clap][clap][clap]
I am just having Baxster HE Soup[msntongue]
Afternoon all, sorry have been very busy I usually have a quick look even if I don't post!
Stayed the same this week, and there was plenty of us in our group. So lots of re-reading of the early pages of the book, food diaries to be completed, and possibly Success Express or Mix n Match.
Well done anyone who has lost, commiserations with those who have put on, but if we all stay focused we can overcome these little blips!!
Am definately back to the gym in the next few days!
It's been a while since I visited this site as I fell off the wagon.
Back at SW now. I lost 3 stone before going to Orlando for 3 weeks at the end of last November where I ate VERY well. Came back just before Christmas and the diet went completely out of the window. Back on track now and wasn't too surprised when on my first weight in I'd but 13lbs back on!! Lost 7lbs in three weeks and my weigh-in is tonight, I think I've done okay. Has anyone tried "Butter Buds" from Lakeland? I have just bought some and think they're okay in mashed and on jacket potatoes. And they are free on both green and red days.

Our local "Chip Shop" does batterless fish so that is good...don't have to pick the batter off:)
you can also get "microwave fish" that is not fried this is great when the family go to the chippy I get fish and chips like the rest of them :D
I make my own sw style fish and chips - very healthy[msnsmile2]
Thank you everyone for all your words of encouragement. I know I am beating myself up and should be happy that when I was in Fl. last Sept. I was just going into size 18 clothes USA size, and whilst on my last visit tried on a skirt size 14 and it was tooooooo big. I bought a size 12 just for the hell of it and was really pleased with myself.
I don't think I will lose anything during this 48 hours, although I have been so busy today that at 1700 I realised that aprt from coffee, I had nothing to eat all day. I then had 3 ryvita with banana and a plum. I am out to a Rotary dinner tonight, so it is anyone's guess what that will be, and weigh in tomorrow[msnscared][msnscared]
Glad to hear you are in the determined mode Julie, and agree that Mizzy, your posts are absolutely fabulous.
Sandra
Linda i would ask your consultant about batterless fish from the chip shop, because if it's fried without batter then i'm pretty certain it's syns[msneek]
the reasoning being is that the batter soaks up the fat and protects the fish, putting a fish into a fryer without the batter means that all the oil goes into the fish, worth checking before eating it[msnsmile]
food wise i've finished the day off really well and it's been my first red day in ages, had fruit salad when i've been peckish and it's working just fine[angel] only 23 more sleeps til my holiday and the week before we go is packed with meals out and a special "getting us in the mood for holiday" meal with the kiddies - american style[msntongue] so need to get a few extra lbs shifted just for those[msnwink]

congratulations JANNY isnt it wonderful to hear about someone reaching goal, yes you probably have the hard part maintaining it but im sure you will give it your best shot
susan ive had butter buds before i think they are good especially for baked potatoes,
well im almost sure ive done alright this week, i havent written anything down since the weekend ive been so busy preparing for the holls on satuday but ive tried to make a mental note of everything ive eaten, so weigh in for me tomorrow night we shall see.
i thnk you are right about the fish from the chip shop mizzy i seem to recall hearing that in class one time
well done to the losers, and for those who have rejoined the forum im sure the inspiration will do you good. just keep going everyone.
THATS FROM SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO FLORIDA ON SATURDAY, DOING A 4 DAY CRUISE AND AM DETERMINED TO VISIT THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY. what the hell im going on holiday pat
Well done Janny!!![clap][clap][clap][msnsmile2][msnsmile][msncool]
Just shows what some determination can do - now just down that hairdressers and go mad[msnwink]!
Sandra you have done so well, just look at the hurdles you have leapt over, it is very difficult when you reach a plateau (says she been stuck there for about 4 months now but we all know why!), but you can rightly be extremely proud of what you have achieved. Just gain from it and best foot forward.[sporty] (so to speak!)
Have to be up early tomorrow as YD is practising her driving and driving the mini (with me in it of course) to Reading tomorrow am for 9.am start of lessons. Also must finish writing my food diary, gosh if I am writing everything down I might be able to record it accurately on here too!
Morning all!!
Linda 'chip shop' deep fried non battered fish is NOT free on sw and I personally would not recommend eating it as it will be high syns and not very healthy - I would steam, poach, roast or grill fish[msnwink] Although a lot of foods are classed as 'free' on sw you do still have to think about it sensibly and deep fried fish is definitly not free[msnwink]
Janny very well done, I bet you are on cloud nine[clap][clap][clap][clap] I am sure you will not have any problems keeping it there[msnsmile2]
Fiona could to hear YD is driving, my ED passed a few weeks ago and she feels so much more free and less dependent[clap]

Well, the weigh in was not as bad as I thought and I have stayed the same after 6 weeks in Fla. I felt really good as there were 3 others who had been away for 2 weeks and all gained over 2lbs[msncry]. The meal last night was awful, curry and chips, then icecream. I ate some of the curry, no chips, and 2 spoons of the icecream. When I got home I had a hifi bar and a mullerlite yoghurt as I was starving. Got another meal tonight, again, don't know what it will be, so will be careful as I need a loss next week.
Well done Janny and congratulations[clap][clap]great news.

Chris, you'll need to be extra good this week, sometimes getting away with having a bad week can play "catch up" as gains can show the week after[msneek]
Pat, hope you have a great holiday[msnsmile]
Julie, some great food diaries from you, you really are going strong for a good loss this week[clap]
i did a session of trying on holiday clothes yesterday and i'm doing ok, no tears or anything which makes a change for me, i've sorted out the clothes for packing and for the actual flight and i think i'll be feeling a lot more comfortable this year

Didn't have my rice last night instead I ate the chicken sandwich I'd made for my lunch. Had a good gym session .....
Had my seriously oaty this morning, going out for lunch and will try to pick wisely [msneek] and will make the fried rice tonight.
Have a good Friday everyone [msnsmile]

i know you must be totally gutted Pam [grouphug] but now's the time when you have to be strong and keep focused, our bodies are complicated and unexplained weight gains do happen and i know it's infuriating[msnmad] you need to remind yourself how far you have come and move forward positively, you can do this[clap][clap][clap]
Chris, you'll need to be extra good this week, sometimes getting away with having a bad week can play "catch up" as gains can show the week after[msneek]
Pam, hope you have a great holiday[msnsmile]
Julie, some great food diaries from you, you really are going strong for a good loss this week[clap]
i did a session of trying on holiday clothes yesterday and i'm doing ok, no tears or anything which makes a change for me, i've sorted out the clothes for packing and for the actual flight and i think i'll be feeling a lot more comfortable this year
have a good day everyone, that naughty weekend is almost upon us again[msnwink]

<span style="color:red">Thanks Mizzy I wish you were my consultant I bet the people in your class love you ![msnsmile2]</span id="red">
Mizzy thanks for those kind words and Yes I am going for it big time! So glad you felt good in your clothes and you will look great this year[clap][clap][clap] You really should be a consultant when you are driving again[clap][clap][clap]
Julieanne thanks for doiing the update - I missed Pats request and well done on your loss[clap]
Chris well done on your maintain - if you have a bad week and still manage to maintain that's great[msnwink]
Pam, Mizzy is right and it happens to us all and is awful but if you just stick with it it will turn around and you will have a good loss next week. What I say to my members is if they have a gain just go back over the last week and examine in detail what you have had and just make sure you are not missing anything (apart from the wine) that could be sabotaging your week[grouphug]
Another thing to remind us all who are on sw, although free foods are just that free, you must only eat them to the point when you feel full and satisfied even if you have food left on your plate and even if its free food do not eat behond the first feeling of fullness[msnsmile2]
I have to admit to feeling very confident about this weekend and I am determind to stick to free foods for 80% of my intake, HE's 15% of my intake and my Syns 5% of my intake[clap][clap][clap] In other words 'by the book'[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]
Off in to town to meet ES for skinny latte[msnwink]
aww thanks Pam for those kind words but i'm not a consultant i'm the weigh in lady at my class, my consultant is Lorraine and she's a star[msnsmile]
Julie, have a great day out[msnwink]

Hi All
If it's Ok with everyone I would like to join in please :)

Welcome to our thread Elaine, and I am so glad Mizzy has helped you, it is thanks to her that I tried SW for the first time exactly a year ago and like you I could not get passed the half stone mark but now I have lost 2 stone and I am a consultant for SW too[clap][clap][clap]
Mizzy is very knowledgable about Food Optimising and she has a fab way of writing posts that really do inspire you to do well[clap][clap][clap]
Are you/have you joined a group as well as joining us on here?[msnsmile2]
Jan well done on the 60 mins on the treadmill, do you run/walk/intervals?? [sporty][sporty][sporty]
Its very quiet on here again today[?]
I have missed a proper lunch again totay as I was at the Trafford Centre changing a new skirt I got in Manchester yesterday that was too big[clap][clap][clap] Had to get a different style that was a smaller cut 12[clap][clap] So I had a large bowl of fresh fruit salad from M&S with my Starbucks skinny latte[msnwink]

Hi and thanks for the welcome
I would really like to lose 2 stone and hopefully by the summer - fingers crossed
I am not a member of a group at the moment but I was a couple of years ago so I know about the SW plan and its principles. Like I have already said to Mizzy, I get more inspiration from her and this thread than I ever did at my group.
Been out swimming this afternoon and just had some food - will post a food diary later [msnsmile2]

Yes it does[msnwink] and its a good workout[sporty][sporty] I do intervals mostly as they are good for fat burning so I run quite fast then powerwalk, sometimes I just run[sporty][sporty][sporty][sporty] Any activity is good though anything that gets our hearts beating faster than usual[sporty][sporty][sporty]
Evening all, just back from walking into town, had to get DH to collect me for the way back as bought the market up with fresh fruit and veg[angel] and couldn't carry it back home!
Took the dogs for a long walk this am though and power-walked, came back "glowing"[msnwink].
Food diary for today, porridge, homemade carrot & coriander soup (no syns as made with onions & carrots, coriander and fresh chicken stock made from boiling up the bones from last week's roast chicken). Indian takeaway for supper and planning on having chicken tikka with salad.
Having late lunch at my sister's tomorrow to celebrate our brother's birthday - roast pork and then birthday cake, so trying to be good today!
Welcome Elaine, we are all as mad as hatters on here, but trying to stay focused. As you can no doubt tell some of us remain more focused than others! Big warm welcome and just remember little by little is the way to go. I know it's thrilling to have huge weight losses but you are more likely to keep it off.
This week's ambition - to get to the gym at least twice.
Total weight loss so far 33lbs, I am doing mine in 2 stone chunks (am not going to admit the total), so another 23 to go. However, I need to lose 7 - 14 lbs before my op which I am planning for July.
Food diary green as ususal........
oats so simple HE B with chopped banana
skinny lattes HE A's
bananas and a large fresh fruit salad
spanish omlette with baked beans

Evening all,
Welome Elaine, I'm sure you'll get all the help and encouragement you need on here, as well as lots of useful advice. I joined last spring and have lost just over 2 and a half stone so far, with about the same again to go.
Well, we were all jumping around like loonies with excitement this morning as we got our plane tickets through the post (sad I know but we've been planning this for a long time!)It just makes it more real now the tickets are here some how! (we go 2 weeks today! and counting!) I have to admit I'm struggling to stay on track dietwise at the moment, its almost like I've decided that its too late to make much more of a difference, but I suppose I have to be careful not to put any on before I even go, there's plenty of time for that when I'm there[msnwink].
We have a big family dinner tommorrow for my mum's 70th birthday, it should be good, (3 courses though, will have to choose wisely[msntongue]) I'm looking forward to it though, I have 2 brothers and a sister, all with partners and children and its lovely when we all get together. Should be a good laugh.
Well done to all of you who are staying on track, hope you get the results you deserve.
Julie B
you sound very jolly there Julie B, must be only 13 more sleeps for you as it's 20 for me:D have a great meal tommorrow:D:D:D straight back on track monday now mrs?;)

Interval training is broadly defined as repetitions of high-speed/intensity work followed by periods of rest or low activity.
This training technique is often practiced by long distance runners (800 M and above) although some sprinters are known to train using this technique as well.
Distance runners often practice intervals on tracks, running hard at a certain pace for a specified distance (or, less often, time) and jogging, walking, or resting between (again, for a set distance/time.) An example could be 12 repetitions of 400 meters with a 200-meter jog between each. Distances can also vary; one example would be a "ladder" workout consisting of a 1600-meter, two 1200-meter, three 800-meter, and four 400-meter repetitions, each at an appropriate speed and with an appropriate amount of recovery.
Interval training is a favorite of coaches because of its effectiveness in cardiovascular buildup and also its ability to make more well-rounded runners.
More generally, it can refer to any cardiovascular workout (e.g. stationary biking, running, rowing, etc.) that involves brief bouts at near-maximum exertion interspersed with periods of lower-intensity activity. One popular workout that incorporates this methodology is so-called "walk-back sprinting," in which one sprints a short distance (anywhere from 100 to 800 meters), then changes directions and walks back to the starting point (the recovery period) to do it again. To add challenge to the workout, each of these sprints may start at a predetermined time interval, e.g. 200M sprint, walk back, and sprint again every 3 minutes. The time interval provides just enough recovery, but not too much.
It is believed by many in the fitness industry that this method of training is more effective at inducing fat loss than simply training at a moderate intensity level for the same duration. This has been confirmed in at least one study.[1] It has been said that in some instances—like long-distance running—moderate-intensity exercise for long durations may actually preferentially burn muscle tissue as opposed to adipose.
Thats the offical explanation anyway but for me I do high intensive runs intervaled with powerwalking[sporty][sporty][sporty][msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]

My weekend food has been quite good (for me [msnwink])

Elaine I have added you to the list but I can't remember how much you have lost so far[?]
Good day for me today even though I felt I wanted to eat more I have stuck to plan.....
oats so simple (plain) HE B with chopped banana
skinny latte plus small homemade latte and milk for porridge total 2 x HE A's
1 slice wholemeal HE B plus quorn sausages
quorn lasagne
lots of water[angel]
HiFi bar 6 syns as already had HE's
highlights bites 4 syns plus 1 cadburys choccie chunk 2 syns
total syns 12[msnwink]
i'm a little bit down today i have only myself to blame, had a sneaky peek on the scales and it's doesn't look like i've lost a single lb[msnsad]
so with feeling quite blue it's been quite a struggle for me today
i've eaten pretty well and stuck with it bit i added a dark choc kit kat 10 syns to todays food to see if it would make me feel better, it did [easter1]
the only good thing i can say about today is that it's almost over and time for bed, fingers crossed i will wake up feeling better tommorrow[?]

Hi all
Julie thanks for adding me to the list - fingers crossed for Wednesday. I have lost 3lbs so far but I would like that be to a total of 10 for Easter so another 7 lb to go - I hope this is a realistic target??
My food diary for today - a red day
Brekkie: Nestle Clusters (HE B) & Milk (HE A), a banana
Lunch: Roast Chicken, carrots, baby sweetcorn, sprouts, fresh greens & brocolli, small yorkshire pud & gravy (4.5 syns)
Snack: 2 x Ryvita Muesli Crunch (HE B) - which are quite yummy [msnsmile2]
Tea: Chicken salad, fresh fruit & muller light
Total Syns: 4.5
I have to try and be extra good this week as I have a big 7 course Dinner Dance to go to next week and I have no idea what is on the menu [msnscared]

So sorry you had a gain Jan, its very painful when you have been really good, if there is anything in your food diary Helen will tell you[grouphug] Keep your chin up, you have a very positive attitude so you will succeed[clap][clap]
Ah what a small world!!! She is a lovely member[clap][clap][clap]
i know how you feel Jan [grouphug] i'm just back from class and despite having the best week ever i've put on weight [msnsad] it's soul destroying when you have worked so hard [grouphug]
mine was only 1/2lb gain but i truly didn't deserve it, i'm going to accept that it's down to the weird and wonderful workings of the female body being as it's almost that time for me and carry on determined to lose a "chunk" next week[msnsmile]

for you Mizzy[grouphug] you are so right about it being soul destroying when you've worked hard. i cann't even blame that time for me but just think of our wonderful losses next week[msnwink]
my daughter tried to cheer me up by saying that muscle weights heavier than fat - but as i said to her you don't get muscle on the tmill.
take care[msnsmile2]
