Daisy - Think the problem is that I do actually like him so I freak myself out. It all just comes down to fear of getting hurt / rejected.

If its mean to be its meant to be.

Back on the porridge oats today for my HE!! Hoping that they will help fill the hole as such !! so I'm not as ravenous in the evening!!

Is that just a challenge for WI day? I suppose it's a good idea to encourage people to save syns until later in the day which is when most people get munchies and so much better than a postWI blow out. And you can never get enough SS.

Our consultant sets us daily challenges from Wednesday until WI day to keep us motivated!

Macpep or anyone else that can answer...Please can you tell me what on earth is Dyno Rod soup!? I'm guessing what special magic after effect it is supposed to have! :rotfl:

Dyno-Rod Soup

1 can mixed bean salad
1 can green lentils (or handful of dried)
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 can baked beans
Handful of red lentils
2 large leeks
1 large onion
4 medium carrots
2 parsnips
1 each green, red and yellow peppers
2 vegetable stock cubes
Salt pepper
Mixed herbs
Water (enough to cover all ingredients)
Chop all vegetables. Put them and everything else intoa large pan, cover with water, bring to boil and simmer until vegetables aresoft (about 30 mins). Once cooked, the soup can be left chunky or blended smooth.

I leave it chunky & it tastes similar to Heinz Veg - very tasty.

Frogga - Only just catching up since yesterday, cannot add anything else to what everyone has said on here, hope you get your mojo back soon & good to see you are more positive today

.

SHALA MOO -1lb for me please :TNot much but every little helps.

EE for me today

B - Melon, strawberries, FF greek lemon yoghurt
L - Dyno Rod Soup (again) but DS was playing up this morning so had no time to prep my salad :mad:, melon, strawberrries, kiwi, plum
D - SW Chicken chow mein (1/2 syn) with side of veg (late dinner again as its DS swimming lesson tonight & hubby working away)
HEA & HEB - Ryvita with sweet chilly philly, beetroot & pickles .

Drinks so far 2 x coffees,. 1 x green tea & 1.5l water.

I would love to get 2.5 off next week to get my stone award but with the exception of the 1st week when I lost 4.5 most I have lost is 1.5 but it won't stop me from trying.

I am doing a christening buffet Friday night/Saturday morning but I got good ideas at group last night to stop me nibbling whilst making it :eek:

Hi all,

I have been a bit quiet again this week, just catching up on all your posts.

Unfortunately I have stayed the same this week, booo.

I knew it though, I got on the scales on Sat and was the same. It was my birthday on Sunday so thought I'd get weighed before we went out for a meal.

I'm a bit gutted as I had stayed on plan all week until Saturday. Back on it after a nice pecan pie for the B-day!

Hoping this week will be better.

maman · 18 March 2014 at 5:53PM

I'm so tired today, really not sleeping well and I need a quick meal for tomorrow evening as I'll be home really late. So postponed SW Bolognaise until tomorrow, eve DH can cook that.;):rotfl:

Thinking of quick meals and not caring about being mse I had a quick look in Sainsbury's and M&S while I was in town. Why is everything that's quick, bung in the oven style food so full of syns! Loads of pies, Chinese, Indian, things with pastry, things with cheese, pasta with creamy this and that.... I'm so used to being organised and cooking from scratch I'd forgotten how hard it is.

So to salvage today (had a ham and salad sandwich out at lunchtime so bread syns:() I've taken some HM burgers from the freezer and we'll have SW chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and fried onions. Tasty and easy and just a squirt of sauce to syn.

frogga · 18 March 2014 at 7:21PM

Just hopping on to say all is well, I got through the day, and I've brushed my teeth so I think I'm safe

~Thank you so much again for all your help. I can't thank you all individually as I'd be here all night, but I really am very very grateful for all the positive comments. They've really helped.

Maman I thought exactly that about old Beanie. As soon as I saw such a long post I was very touched about the effort that must have gone into it. :A Having said that it's not easy typing with webbed feet, but no one mentioned how special that was? :mad: Totally unappreciated.

Off to plan tomorrows food....

Love you all xxxxxxxxxxx

Hello all!

Firstly sorry I missed your post Froga, it's nice to have you back. The amount of support and encouraging words from everyone has choked me up. I think we have all been where you are, and it was so brave of you to share that with us. Its nice to see you being more positive, you can do it so don't give up!!

:grouphug: dodgy hugs all round, I don't know any of you personally but I think you're all fab and love posting on here and reading how everyone is doing, just wish I had more time to post myself!

I've not been great the last few days, and have convinced myself there will be a gain on the scales this week. Really cross with myself, as I know its a bit self-indulgent but I would have loved to get 14lbs in 3 weeks. But I obviously didn't want it that bad as a Chinese fell into my mouth and half a bottle of wine. But hey ho Im not going to let it dictate the rest of the week.

On a more positive note I went to my first ever aqua-aerobics class last night. It was fab!!! I surprised myself with my co-ordination and the ladies there were lovely. I'm already looking to next week, the funny thing is I didn't ache everywhere like I thought, and only really felt it under my boobs of all places this morning when I woke up!

Weigh in tomorrow will post my results. Shala thanks again for doing the chart.

Mildredd · 18 March 2014 at 10:38PM

Shala - thank you once again for the chart

Frogga - I am here anytime just a little text away - so proud of you for getting through today. Maybe sometimes the frog needs to hit the bottom of the pond before they can leap back up to the lily pads?
Lantanna - strangely enough I was thinking about you this morning and concluded in my mind if no post from you today I was going to email you to basically stalk you to make sure you where okay

x glad your okay.
Draw a famous line under it and move on now xxx you've got this you can do it xxx
Beanie you are a wonderful person x
My inbox is always open for you my dear

Lucky-legs - stress triggers my attacks and until I lost weight I hadn't suffered any attacks? I'm not a typical sufferer - I'm not 40, not particularly fair, I was fat(still am really) and only had one child so not particularly fertile (took nearly 2 years to fall preg) unfortunately I have them and while I can't link my attacks to any particular food it seems stress is the culprit of them kicking off

although Im having a good day pain wise today yet have been stressed so my theory could be nonsense :@ hope you have no more attacks! Mine all started between Xmas n new year. I think if I had no attacks for a decent length of time I'd be wary of an op (I've read all the possibles) but unfortunately at the mo I can't go a week without an attack and I'm in pain most days

Green tiger! Happy birthday for Friday! Life is for living and sw is a plan for life so some weeks it's got to bend to fit with life

getting back to it is what matters and enjoying the little blips off

Sary - I've picked a book to read when stressed

and strangely reading and typing up long replies to the forum helps distract me from life and stress X Malteser bunnys are so lovely though

x I don't think there really synful though you know x
Ill join you in the low syn week to counteract the gain from this week though x

Helendavekids - 2lb is a great loss well done - google what 2lbs looks like and is? And you've lost that in 7 days that's pretty remarkable!!!

Lantanna -I have similar issues that I don't take compliments and I don't believe them as I think people are being sarcastic or nasty (the work of an ex bf I'm afraid that I can't shake off) however today a friend took a picture of me and my dd and although it a dreadful picture as she's throwing her self off me and I'm a bit blurry and i should have deleted it I kept it as well I thought ooooh Mildredd you look thin!!!
Your binge made me hungry for chocolate buttons - sometimes it has to be done though xxx hormones blame hormones xxx

To all serial scale hoppers - STOP it!
Honestly as a serial scale hopper stop before it - it's not good to keep doing it and weight fluctuates day to day and hour by hour :@

Today has been a major stress for me this morning and I've had a lovely afternoon out with the dd and friends .
Despite being ridiculously stressed I've only had 3 syns today and I'm actually full so refusing to eat for the sake of it I don't care I'm meant to have 5 minimum sorry I won't eat when not hungry

Day 2 of being back on plan - done
(And strangely my body seems to think its back on the original day 2 - weeing past myself)

Hugs to any one who needs or wants one

Ps the froggy one says hi and she's still being good

Sorry for long post but it was a stress reliever

Evening all!!

I said I was going to make of an effort to post, but seem to spend all my time reading the thread instead (it appears I still can't use the smilies for some reason??)

Anyhoo...

Frogga - I just wanted to say well done for picking yourself up and getting back on track, like everyone else has said it's one day/meal/minute at a time.

I think it's really hard, as if you're an Alcoholic you can just avoid alcohol, but we need food to live. I'm sure an alcoholic couldn't just have 'a little tipple' without it leading to a massive binge, yet we have to make do with eating just enough food without letting it spiral out of control - it's so bl**dy hard.

I'm one of those people that think about food all the time, if we're going out somewhere the first thought is 'will we be back in time to eat'. or before SW it was more 'ooh, we're never going to be back in time for me to cook, let's get a Maccy D's on the way home'. If I'm fed up/sad/miserable I want to eat, if I'm happy or we feel we deserve a treat then it's normally food related. I would like to be one of those people that don't think about food constantly and somehow seem to fit food in as an afterthought, and they seem to be able to eat what they like.

Somedays I get cross and think 'I want to eat what I like, I want huuuuge slices of that lovely crusty white bread smothered in Clover' and it upsets me that I can't. I too have yo-yoed with my weight, 2 stone off, 2 stone on, 4 stone off 3.5 stone back on etc, but I think my attitude is going to be that it has taken me many years to put the weight on, so it may well take me many years to get it off. I had lost nearly 2 stone on my last attempt at the end of last year and I decided that I was going to have a couple of planned days off plan over Christmas - BIG MISTAKE, managed to put back on everything I had lost AGAIN. It seems that I am unable to control myself and can't have just a couple of chocs, or the odd cracker and cheese. And again I'm one of those people who says 'I'll start monday'. It took me til the end of Feb to get back on it again and I was eating the large bars of chocolate and the bags of choc as they are so often on offer for £1, and I didn't even feel like I wanted to stop.

But I'm trying to make myself realise that it's ok to have choc, it's just wrong to have a whole big bag/bar to myself as that's just bleedin piggy, I'm sure i'll find myself with my fat little face in one of those bags at some point, but if I can tell myself to draw the famous line under it then hopefully the binge wont carry on for weeks.

Right enough waffling, my plan for this week is to eat as few syns as poss and OH and I are off to a hotel on Saturday night, so I am trying to limit the damage.

I lost 1.5lbs last week, which I'm a bit disappointed with as I walked the kids to school everyday last week, so I was hoping for at least 2lbs, but I'm not going to let it unsettle me and I shall carry on regardless, hopefully in the knowledge that if I carry on being good it will come off eventually.

Night All
