hi all - back for my weekly confessional

Anyway - WI yesterday and I lost 3lbs - so pretty chuffed. Makes up for last week's gain.

Star week this week and I am RAVENOUS. Totally ignored SW today and ate biscuit upon gluten free biscuit:(. SO tomorrow must get back in the saddle.

AM pretty impressed with how motivated everyone is at the moment - you are putting me all to shame(!) - but will choose to be inspired by you all:)

Well done thats a fantastic loss.:)

Hi everyone I just usually lurk not post, however I joined SW about 4 weeks ago and I've already lost my motivation.

My first week I stayed the same as I couldn't get my head around the plan but years of eating junk might do that. The second week I genuinely couldn't go to meeting but since then as I haven't followed the plan I haven't gone back - daft I know.

I haven't been well the last few months as I suffer with bouts of depression which coupled with constant tiredness and no motivation doesn't help me. I know that sticking with it will really help but I'm finding it hard. Has anyone else been in the same position as me but have now got in the swing of the plan and are losing weight and feeling better.

Also I have a lot of weight to lose - about 5/6 stone - and sometimes feel I'm wasting my time and just resign myself to being overweight as I have tried so many times and failed.

Any inspirational and motivational tips most welcome and a kick up the bum as well

Just start a fresh and don't look at it as falling off the wagon, that way you'll start on a positive not a negative. Good luck in your weight loss and try and think of the end result.

I'm off out now, hope you all have a good day.

Just recieved this on mail and thought I'd share it....

MY LIVING WILL

Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.

If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'

They got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine.

That made me laugh so much the kids wanted to know why............they didnt get it for ages, no sense of humour these teenagers

Well, I've tried cous cous and I think it's disgusting!!

Black onion seeds are also sometimes called Kalonji seeds. I've got some and they're great! The naan bread I bought them for wasn't so great but hey ho, no problems. :-)

Have bought some quark. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but I bought some chives just in case I fancied garlic and chives on some ryvita :-)

Kitchen's a tip (I blame OH) I'm going to be making the madras and the bhaji thingies when I decide to get off my fat backside lol. Brain not with it today which means neither is my body!

Thank you everyone anyway for helping. You're all fab :-)

do you hae a recipe for your raita ???......do you want a lodger LOL:rotfl:

Do you like spicy raita Kath? I make my own, completely made up recipe with inspiration from something Asda used to sell.

About 150ml of fat free plain yoghurt
quarter teaspoon chilli powder
quarter teaspoon paprika
a small amount of ground cumin
finely chopped chilli (just the end pointy bit, don't need much)

Bob's your uncle. It's lovely and we can't/won't have curry without it :-)

Niandra, have just looked at your recipe and of course it's the recipe for beef. I'll be using chicken. Do I still need beef stock for this or is chicken stock the best? Totally lost :-)

Although, if using less yoghurt, use less spices. It could be painful otherwise!!

Cous cous takes some getting used to....I agree but if you use it as a base and chuck load of chopped onion tom pepper and a squirt of lemon in it u can quite get used to it as a filler when you just need a bit of something extra other than plain old salad. Quark you can have on ryvita like u said, but it chives in a bowl and some from frais to thin it a bit and season well. fry onion & plenty garlic mushroom with some chopped ham or bacon bits. cook some spaghetti. then add spaghetti to onion stuff and pour the quark mix over...givie it a quick sir round just so it all coats and serve it up ......real nice & real cheap & SYN FREE just have some fruit for pud tho for the extra superfree

At last I've managed to catch up with the thread, loads has happened since I last managed to catch up Weds evening. I too kept reading things and thinking I'll reply to that but there were pages and pages so I've given up trying to remember who said what, when etc. Thanks for all the help, recipes, advice, inspiration and most important of all the giggles. Whoever it was that was brave enough to bring up the subject of poo........thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!
I had my WI last night and was very disappointed with a measly 0.5lbs loss (I could pee more than that!) I've been really motivated this week and totally focussed (apart from Saturdays Chicken Kebab).I've upped my fruit/veg intake, had a couple of green days (I tend to stick to Red) tried to have different HEB even tried to incorporate fish into the scheme of things (I rarely normally eat fish). I had a sneeaky WI at home before I went to group and they weighed me 0.5lbs less than SW scales. I really was disappointed after all that effort.
However, I've just weighed myself and my scales are now telling me I've somehow lost 2lbs more overnight, I think maybe yesterday was a 'heavy day' . Thinking about it I'd had a green day on Weds, so that was probably still in my system and I hadn't managed to, ahem.... go properly IYKWIM....So now I am pinning my hopes on sooper dooper loss next week.

I used to like cous cous until I started Slimming World and no recipe I have tried has been nice (to me) so I am not planning to ever buy any more. I used to just make it with hot water and a good splash of sesame oil.
