epatolles - I know exactly what you mean - most of my friends say they need to loose weight and say they have flabby bellies etc. but they are a size 10!!! I used to find it difficult to go shopping with my friends because i would have to go to the 'bigger lady' shops and then watch them try on things in next etc.
I'm glad i have inspired you - i have no idea where the willpower came from - but seeing the amount you can eat and still loose weight was all i needed for my kick up the bum!
How much have you lost so far? Do you have any idea on your target weight? I am stuggling because i know what size i want to be but i don't know how much it converts to in weight!

Keep on food optimising - You CAN do it!!!

well i've lost 2 stone in just about 3 months. not one of my friends has mentioned it even though my family and boyfriend say i look TOTALLY different. but whatever, they are feeders anyway! lol
i've always been a lot heavier than i look so im abit wary of my bmi telling me i need to be 9-9 1/2 stone because i remember being 11 stone and i was tiny! so at the moment i'm sort of playing it by ear. i need to lose about 7-8 stone still which is like a WHOLE person! bit depressing but i keep buying myself new clothes everytime i get into a smaller dress size as a little pick me up! lol
plus before i started i just fell in love with asos curve and now they are too big for me :-( which is good but so very very weird!
and sometimes i do stare at myself in the mirror for hours on end... so once i get to my target im gonna be soooo vain haha!!!

Thanks Mrs M - how did you find it on syns online? I looked under basic everyday foods and put in low fat sausage and also just sausage and couldn't get anything other than thick or thin ordinary sausages!

Hi Recovering -you are welcome....
I just went onto "syns on line" -then selected "non branded foods" and typed in pork sausage..it gave me 2 pages of options...

Well dinner went down a storm.... In the end I could only get extra light cream cheese in plain (I nipped into the NAAFI) -will pick up lots of flavoured ones next time Im in the german supermarket
So I did the gammon in a large non-stick pan, took them out and dropped mushrooms into it (I use frozen ones, defrosted)...cracked in plenty of black pepper -then added 60g cream cheese and 4tbs milk from our (Healthy A) and heated gently whilst stirring until it thickened -then popped the gammon back in until the potatoes n veggies were ready ,,, The sauce would be lovely with pasta, over chicken, steaks etc and it was 2 syns each for the cheese and thats it ..Im still stuffy puddled

Its our 1st weigh in tomorrow -its a day early but Saturdays are the only time we are both up n about at the same time-ish..so pinkies crossed -I have certainly eaten more than usual and feel much less sluggish already :j

I have FINALLY been able to get back on the forum after the stupid up grades. It wouldn't let me log on :mad: so had to change my password :mad:.

Anyway am here now. I had an ok day food wise but had a big shock just before leaving school when we heard one of our pupils had been knocked down right outside the school. The lad lives a few doors up from me so I know his family quite well. He was still in the ambulance when hubby & I walked by so we stopped to ask the police how he was doing. Apparently he was making a lot of noise and seemed 'with' it so I think he will be ok [hope so though]. Will hopefully see his Mum over the weekend and find out how he is.

Food today

B - weetabix [bs] milk [a] coffee

L - 2x mini pitta [8syns], sandwich spread [1syn], babybel [a] toms, cue, muller

T - mushy pea curry [lush], rice

Snacks - banana, pineapple

Syns - 9

thanks again folks and well done nessie.
i have at least another 2 stone to go. but hay im over half way there.
on the dress size fron i have gone from a size 20 jeans now in a size 14 comfortable, tried on a size 12 jeans in M&S today which do go on and zip up but give my a belly bottom, (where it looks like a bottom at your front0.
now last time i lost weight on my own, i got to a size 12 but i was 1 &1/2 lighter than i am now so how does that work?

I can't work that out either, when I got to target before I was a comfortable 12 and sometimes a 10 but even though I put on a couple of stone I've stayed a 12 [sometimes an uncomfortable 12 lol] so go figure.

Ooh! what's mushy pea curry?

Food today has been okay and very enjoyable:

Breakfast - 42g All Bran (heb) ss milk (hea) banana, apple

Lunch - the last of my hm chilli with 2 tbs reduced fat creme fraiche (3 syns)

Snack - a little bit of last night's hm potato salad (2 syns), half a punnet of strawberries

Dinner - Sirloin steak, SW wedges, peas, tomato ketchup (2 syns), followed by SW flourless chocolate cake (had about a third of the cake so 3 syns) topped with a mullerlight toffee yoghurt.

I am just cooking some (lean) stewing beef with leeks and celery and carrots so that I can put it in the fridge overnight and them skim off any fat tomorrow before I make scouse with it.

Like Mrs M I feel a bit less sluggish already - I certainly have been up and down to the loo alot!

Kaydn - Frankie and Benny's will do you a salad without dressing and will also do you plain boiled pasta with just a tomato sauce with a side salad. I know because my friend's daughter will only eat plain pasta and they always do it for her when we go. - Mind you, it may depend on the chef/manager of the individual restaurant I suppose.
Hope you are all having a good evening.

Not a good day for me. Found out at 7am this morning that my dear Daddy has Lymphoma and now have an upset tummy, presumably due to the chip I pinched off my son on Saturday which had been inside a bread roll. So feeling completely rubbish and shocked to say the least but have managed to stay on plan today. Suddenly losing weight doesn't seem so important right now

Hiya, sorry to hear about your dad, hope he's ok. It's best to stick to the diet cos if you can eat healthily, hopefully, you can encourage your dad to as well. Lots of fruit and stuff can help him keep healthy and anti-oxidants etc. to detox. If he's having chemo as well, need something to keep him strong and help counter any negative effects so he feels better with it. My friend has Hodgekins (sp?) and he's doing quite well. Looking to get stem cells soon!?

Good luck and make sure to look after yourself as well as your dad, which means keeping to a healthy diet. Cooking will also provide a nicely needed distraction and hopefully you can enjoy a nicely prepared meal. Good for de-stressing and keeping up your own life as well. It's so easy to get lost in cancer, in the whole idea of it and I think keeping up the things you like doing and sticking to plans can encourage your dad to see that you're happy as well as limiting the effect cancer will have on your lives. Don't let it step out of it's place, it's a dissease, not a lifestyle and you guys should carry on determined as you were before it came into your life.

Good luck with everything, hope I can help.
