Me I do!!! lol. I'm a poppadom fiend!

Thanks for the tip! Are they the same as what the Sharwoods ones would be?? They are 2 syns each.

Hi Vixie - basic poppadoms are :

Crisps & snacks, basic, Poppadoms 10g each

2½ Syns on Extra Easy Original 2½ Syns

whereas Indian Restaurant ones are 4 syns each so this way you can have almost twice as much

I'm off to find the new thread now

That's exactly why I set up my blog, I knew if I did it publicly I would be less likely to give up.

Hiya,

Sounds like we are looking to lose roughly the same amount. I started off at 16st 7lbs and I'm really feeling the benefit. Having a look at your blog now

My tips to slimmers are to keep track of your weight at the doctors, it makes it so much easier to see the changes over the years. I've also been watching loads of shows about obesity, just anything to keep my mind on track and remind myself how serious it can be. The health effects of my weight are quite scary and I have to keep telling myself that chocolate cake that looks yummy and friendly is really trying to kill me! Lol.

Another hugely helpful thing, which I wish people would do, is show you what a pound of fat looks like. It's actually a lot heavier than you think. My dad has some weights that are 3 stone together and they are crazy heavy! I couldn't even lift them more than a few times and to think I'm hauling that around in excess weight really brought it into perspective. It's not just a few inches on my waist, it's a very heavy load on my body. I walked up and down the stairs with the weights and was out of breath. Try getting some heavy books and weighing them on your scales to see how much a stone is, that way when you lose any weight, you'll can see what it looks like. Even losing a pound is a massive amount, just weigh it out and see! At the start, I had 6 stone to lose and was so worried that I couldn't do it, that I didn't even want to try. I had to start off just trying to 'neaten up' by losing a pound or two, just to fit my jeans better. It can be done though and once you start doing it, you're surprised at how easy it is and wonder why you didn't just start sooner. I've honestly not really suffered for my diet, at the weight I am, it just comes flying off. So if you're really over-weight like me, don't be disheartened, if anything, we've got it easier

Sorry to babbly on lol just sharing my experience!

Good luck all!

well done Mrsmortonhacket! And Caela, if you look at my Avatar that is ONE OUNCE of fat, and it's a handful. So half a pound is 8 times that, and a pound is sixteen handfuls.... and so on. If it helps!

Well done that is fantastic news.
