its the same for me hun I need to be about 9st
....I started at 13 12.5 last wk I was 12 8 but with my tum meds bunging me up a peak at the scales is showing 13st today and its WI tonight :mad: Its gonna take time to shift the weight but we can do it slowly;)

Remember the saying....you cant eat an elephant in one go-you have to do it bit by bit!!!

I think it's all the elephant eating that's been the problem :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I know I can do it but it needs a rethink of my relationship to food I reckon. I love baking and cooking and having people around and when they do come you don't give them a celery stick do you? So I make amazingly calorific meals that are delicious and nutritious and pretty fattening. I also see food as a reward, I've had a hard week at work, let's get a Chinese. And I find baking soothing and then eating it seems the logical next step. I need to find some other rewards for myself, I have said that when I get to 11 something I will go for a trip to the place in meadowhall where the fish nibble your feet, have fancied trying that for a while

Dizzy, seems like we have similar goals and are similar weights now, we should team up and spur each other on!

Yes defo we can give each other a kick in the pants to keep us on track lol
I just comfort ate myself up to where I am now after my ops

You can still bake on SW just try some of the lovely low syn recipes....have you had a go at the virtually syn free fruit roulade that I posted a while back? 1/2 syn for the whole cake!!! its realllly yum.

I know what you mean tho about rewarding yourself with food I was the same, after each hospital visit...or anyday when I hadnt felt too well-a tub of haagandaz and a load of choccies. But I think your idea is fab about the fishes if its something you have always fancied then go for it- make that your aim!

Afternoon all! Just popping in to report that we had some major family problems last night (well been building for a while TBH but came to a head last night) and the whole evening was really stressful, it wasn't until much later when We got to bed that I realised that I hadn't reached for the chocolate/crisps/cakes etc. that I'd normally do to cope. Hmmm I'm wondering if this is some sort of breakthrough, I do hope so.
Anyway, WI for me later and I'm hoping for some good stuff after all the cr*p that came our way yesterday.

Hows the .....ahem.......problem?

trixietoes

I'm a reward & also say sorry with food person too. OH was moody the other night and came back from work yesterday with a 'i'm sorry' choc chip muffin... I ate it but I did have 30 syns left to use that day so could. I buy chocolate or make cakes to cheer OH up too... or used to, well still do, I bought him a Lion Bar yesterday which he ate along with his own muffin LOL

I've done a green day today and I have found when I do them byy the afternoon I have really bad tummy ache...like today... does anyone else have the same? I think I am going to try some reds and steer clear of greens for a while.

Dont be despondent Sian.

Im sure it will all come together. Are you doing just one sort of day? Red/green/ee or mixing?

Its not a diet, a new lifestyle so we cant expect instant results!

I have been doing extra easy but my actual losses for those days seem to be swallowed up in the times I go to a party or a wedding or out to dinner and splurge on pastry and cake. So I am balancing those times out but I don't want to just stay the same weight, I want to lose. I need some more discipline when I am out.

Or you can alternatively not ever have syns on a daily basis and splurge when needed? I dont know if that would really cement a loss though to be honest.

Pastry :eek: I cant resist it :eek:

I've only been doing SW I have three weeks this time Sian but I'm having the same problem. I have suddenly developed a social life and it's playing havoc with my weight loss
