Hi ladies, just checking in because Dizzy ordered me to come back lol.

Just haven't been online much recently, I keep checking on people's progress but as for my own, well, it's gone seriously downhill.

This week I've eaten all the foods that I've had to steer clear of recently. Have tried to get plenty of exercise in but unfortunately, the food that OH likes has just made me pile on the pounds. Stopping smoking isn't the doddle it was last year either. If I put a patch on my left arm it itches like nobody's business and on my right I have a faint circle where I put one on yesterday then went for a really long walk in the red hot sun and now got a perfectly round tan line. It's hilarious really.

I'll be back on track next week, and I'll bet this time next week I'll have lost the extra pounds plus more. I'm disgusted in myself.

Good luck ladies, keep fighting the flab, don't give in to temptation like I have.

Ironically, OH has lost weight while I've put it on. Life isn't fair sometimes. lol

hi doll

Does your OH not like SW type foods then? Maybe im lucky my OH really likes it in the main ( although not beetroot or parsnips) He does have the desire for stuff like pasties but he can eat these out of the house otherwise im out of control, must eat the pastry!

Im on for giving up the fags, got a few more left in the packet then its stopping. I only started again for a few months ago, and quite simply, cant afford it!

In addition- Im giving up diet coke ( again) spending over 20 quid a week on it at the mo and its eating into my savings. Yesterday was the first day of no diet coke ( usually a couple of litres minimum)

Am waiting for the headaches to start kicking in, im ok now but I think tonight it will hit me hard. Last time I gave up DC I started dying I swear lol from the caffiene withdrawal.

Onwards!!

My OH is happy to eat SW stuff but he has recently decided he doesnt like chicken (we used to eat it every other day) he doesnt like casseroled beef much as he has a denture plate with 3 teeth on it and it irritates him if bits get in it (not as much as his whingeing irritates me lol )

He drinks shed loads of coke zero....I used to aswell but my seizure meds make all carbonated drinks taste vile so I cant do em now. I check on my supermarket & try get it a few packs at a time when its on offer to save a bit.....but its still a lot dearer than drinking NAS.

Fags....good luck quitting hun, Ive done it twice but been a !!!!!! and started again....blaming the stress - cant afford it tho I bought a little machine thing and have been rolling them to save money....In fairness it has saved me TONS but ideally I should stop !

lynzpower

Gah know what you mean Dizzy. If I had lost a lb for each thing that he doesnt like :wall:

I have never been able to roll, but absolutely no chance now with my duff hand. I have bought machines over the years but never got them to work?

cant believe you only have 13 weigh ins ( will it be 12 tonight) till Mexico.

Im so jealous, love it there :j

In cancun "dwntown" theres a guy by the fruit market who sells basically massive sheets of pork scratchings with chilli on, done on BBQ. And a cerveza. ......Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Ive gotta admit.....Im seriously thinking of giving up the kitkats for the penguin wafers thats how good they are ! (and 1 syn less too how fab is that)


Im quite scared now lynz Im away at xmas for 28 days......and I FULLY intend to enjoy it (within reason....I will eat a breakfast of fresh fruit EVERYDAY) and salady stuff will def go on my plate at lunch....but with what I cannot guarantee...tis mexico afterall and I fear that is where the SW plan will finish each day (especially seeing as there is an icecream cart on the beach with a different flavour everyday ) soooooo 4 days = 4lb 28 days = :eek: ? excess baggage :rotfl:

lynzpower

IME I dont think Mexico will be toooooo bad, but they do freepour their spirits :eek: Just be double careful :eek:

Most of the food I had was pretty SW friendly really ( apart from the pork scratchings :rotfl:)

Al-bondingas ( mexican meatballs)
Steaks with churassco sauce :drool:
Chorizo style sausage but a lot less fatty
Loads of rice
they love their peppers & onions
Spicy chicken in tomato based sauces

Its the tortillas you wanna watch out for :eek: they are synful in the extreme. The crema isnt quite as rich as the sour cream we have here I didnt think. Plenty of HEA cheese, and a lack of milk in general I found. No sign of anything but white bread on sandwiches. Deep fried plaintain chips with chilli sauce :drool:

One of the best breakfasts I had there was a fried tortilla ( crispy)loaded with refried beans ( inc pork fat :eek) and fried or scrambled egg and tomatoes and chillies. Sounds wrong but its really lovely

Loads of lovely fish baked and BBQed, like snapper and swordfish :drool:

JEALOUS!

This is machine 3 tbh but its really good....you'd be able to use it with just the one hand. Its by BULL BRAND and its like a box, you open it and the material bit is inside - just put the tobacco and filter in there then lick the paper and slide it to meet the tobacco and shut the lid.....the cig rolls itself - it can all be done with the one hand too. It only cost about a fiver I think from a little cheapy store that sold smoking stuff pipes tobacco lighters cigs etc

I know 12 WI's after tonight....scary :eek:
I sooooooo cant wait to go on hol tho tis just the best place ever
and the food OMG I can see me having to re start my weight loss journey right from the beginning :rotfl::rotfl:
