Ive not been very good over the last 2 weeks and feel very heavy, i need to get focussed. Im not sure if ive been doing SW too long and need to try something else. I know SW works but ive got too lazy, i get very bored at tea time, especially with my oh working away at the moment.
Ive tried just eating healthy and sticking to the outlines of SW and I dont think ive put on as much weight as I would of if id ignored everything ive learned. Does anyone have any tips on how to get into it properly again? I started last March (08) lost almost 3 st but have put 2 st back on, im struggling at almost 12st for months now.
I find it difficult to do any excercise apart from walking to and from nursery. I hate doing excercise dvds in the house (maybe ill buy a new one and try it), i dont have a cross trainer or anything, id probably spend 10 mins on that if i had one (may try Freegle)
Ive basicaly got into a lazy rut, I feel fat and ugly. Iv e spent loads of time over the last month at hen weekends and 2 weddings, with loads of beautiful skinny people, I really want to get back down to a 12 again and feel toned. But the more I think im going to give it ago, the more I sabotage it all.

If youve felt like this, what made you get focussed again?

Hi tia , don't be so hard on yourself :grouphug::grouphug:, we all have been like you lately , theres times when we all feel , stuff it , why should i not eat & drink what i want :mad:, i'm sick off being on a diet .

But then come the summer & going out , holiday , we dread them :eek:, get ourselfs worked up , because we don't look or feel we look right in what we wear ,so we turn to , chocolate, drink , cakes for comfort and then feel even more down on ourselfs , because it only made you feel good for that night or moment you were eatting it .
We all have to decide why we are slimming , is it for you or a partner or to just fit into what people thinks the right size and shape :mad:to be accepted .
If its the last two your putting to much of a presure on yourself before you start , iv'e done this in the past ( what for ) thinking my hubby won't fancy me because my weights gone back on , can't go out with my mates iv'e not seen in a while , because my weight gone on and there judge me , so iv'e made up reasons not to go out with them and got even more down on myself ( hit the choc, wine , crips , take aways) its all a vicious circle .
TIA , you have to decide why you wan't to do this hun and it has to be for you , thats what iv'e done, stuff everyone else and what they think , i've had to give myself a big big kick up the ar-- and say YOU ARE GONNA DO IT THIS TIME and stop this mindset that makes me unhappy and stops me enjoying my life to the full .
Well i'm now back at class and i'm not putting to much presure on myself , there will be weeks when i don't lose and weeks when i stay the same , but i will get there , I'M DOING IT FOR ME :T:jAND HUN YOU CAN TOO .
So please get your books out go back to basics , write everything down , plan your shopping , your meals , stick lables on your syned food so you know straight away what syns you've had & put it on your food diary straight away & i keep saying hit the water big time or quash .
Come on here and give idears , recipey , let us know how your doing , join in , and together we can all do it , for us

ollyred , on green day use quorn sausages and any syn free coucous , on e/e its free using morrision free sausages fresh not frozen , and plain coucous so you don't have to worry about syns as you can eat quorn or meat on e/e & coucous is free on it to

Thanks Peachy I rarely go to Morrisons but I did yesterday and couldn't remember if it was the fresh or frozen sausages that were free-ish, couldn't find frozen so grabbed some fresh and hey presto I can eat them!!

By the way, while I'm here (which I often am but I just guiltily lurk and read all the advice) does anyone else, like me, get mentally confused between fat free and vegetarian???? It may well be just me; I grab something like Asda's meat free meatballs and persuade myself they must be FAT free *slaps self*

HI blackberry , its the fresh that are free , and you must always check vegetarian food as , just like meat products they slip in fat & sugar to make it taste better .
But don't worry thats what your syns are for , just encaes you buy something and when you check has syns :eek:,
i always check and write down on the item syns on red & green on it , if your not sure come on and ask if anyone can check and someone will alawys get back to you

Evening all, I went to Tesco today and couldn't find Quorn sausages anywhere, either chilled or Frozen, have they been discontinued?!?!

Skint_Catt

No, the bangers, surprisingly succulent sausages & the cumberland are still on mysupermarket.co.uk and the first and the last are on tesco.com

Do you have a sainsbury or asda near you? tesco may have sold out for the moment

Had a horrendous weekend after a really good week so now dreading weigh-in on Tuesday Got to hit the water and neutral-ish foods (got no money to buy more speed foods)

Hi everyone, hope the weight loss is going great!!

I've got a massive dilemma, hope someone can help. For the Ruby party tomorrow at group, I am going to make the carrot cake from the "Best Ever" recipe book, I wrote it down a few weeks ago (i posted here cos I thought I lost it but found it and made it) and it was amazing!! So, I wanted to try it again and share it with everyone, but this time I have definately lost the piece of paper with it on! :eek:

Has anyone got the Best Ever book and can they write it on here for me please???? Ive tried to ask my consultant to text it to me but I havent heard anything from her, and i really need to make it tonight.

Thanks in advance xx
