Had a great time, got a lovely tan and am still 38lbs lighter than I was in January.

And thats EXACTLY what holibobs are for!! :T Glad you enjoyed yourself hun......I can never understand why anyone would 'torture themselves' when on holiday :rotfl:We know how to get rid of any holiday gains when we get back......so just ENJOY!!

Hi, hope MR DIZZY is o.k. he's a very thoughtful MR DIZZY isn't he?, sending MIL to tell you.

Does this mean that he'll have to borrow the tank for a while?

ERRRR NO!!!! he cant have our Tank :eek: :eek:

can you imagine the chaos on here if we all have no where to hide from the food fairies


We will hopefully get a courtesy car on Monday when they have assesed the damage. Hes having Monday off as his back/neck are still bothering him (his back is bad anyway, he had a scan recently on it) I think this has just aggravated it & possibly got a bit of whiplash in his neck......but as he says,because it was not anyones fault other than road conditions its not something the insurance covers anyway

Well I weighed in this morning and Im 2.5lb down and on * week -so I got my 9.5st shiney (9st 8lbs gone ). I think I will be sticking with the tweaks I made as Im really happy with the result -especially as I only paid 1 visit to the gym and had 1hr of badminton, although Im going to try and up my exercise this week

Well done MrsM,:T
your new 'Tweaks' really seem to be suiting you

Gawd you're brave sorting MrMs wardrobe out :eek: MrD is sooooo fussy......even with his workclothes (which are his 'old' good clothes) he does maintenance and lays tracks for the railway & roads and theyre covered in great big orange safety overalls BUT he still knows what he likes underneath:rotfl::rotfl:

I might pick up a SW magazine for some inspiration too. I'm not sure I've got my head round the superfree / speed thing. I've only put things with 'SS' against them in my guide on the Superfree column of my food diary. Is that wrong? (Perhaps I'll ask my consultant to look as she hasn't asked me!)

SS are super speed foods so if you're having a third of them with every meal you should have a good weight loss. Having said that a lot of fish, beans, peas and sucjh like are superspeed foods but not super free.

Superfree are most fruit and vegetables but not peas, beans, chickpeas and parsnips.

I don't know whether that makes any more sense.

Morning all :wave: Just woke up :doh:

Today, OH wants to make a HM pizza so we are on a green one today. Im going to try to pile in as mch SF as poss as yesterday the chocolate fairies got meby the throat and forcefed me some M&S cake bars on top of the dime bar. a 2 finger kitkat... milky way crispy rolls... whoopsie!

OK to redeem myself I have had
Banana, half a dragon and a muller
Luncheon will be eggs mushrooms toast HEB and beans OR without the toast and with cereal
Dinner will be WM pizza ( 2xHEB) plus HEA low fat mozzerella - tomato/onioni/mushroom/pepper/spinach plus jacket potato & salad.

Have to pop out to get more supplies, need something for HEB we have no bread, cereal or anything in the house and OH does not like Pagens (how odd!) and of course more fruit and veg and cheese for the pizza.

Hiya folks

Back from me jollies and first weigh in

+5lbs

Not that I am going to slit my wrists over it or anything. I will be continuing on the same vein as I was before I stuffed myself silly for a week

Had a great time, got a lovely tan and am still 38lbs lighter than I was in January.

I haven't read backwards but I bet you have all had great losses so well done to you all

I'm so glad you enjoyed your holiday magnolia. IMO weight that goes on quickly can come off quickly so just jump back on the wagon and you should be fine. I read an interesting article in an old SW mag about holidays. It suggested 3 possible approaches:

1. stick to the plan when you're away (easier done when self-catering)
2. do flexi syns so do your best but maybe have a few extra treats
3. the 's*d it' approach (although they didn't call it that;))

I'm all for the third option but the article said that the choice you make will depend how confident you are to return to the plan. Personally I think that even if you go for 'forget slimming on holiday' you will still make some wise choices as healthy eating gets ingrained after a while with SW.

I'm heading off to stock up on syn free yogurts, frozen berries, cottage cheese and a variety of HEBs today though and we'll do an extra easy day with a really satisfying roast! I want to fit some serious exercise in this week too - determined to get under the magic stone mark but feeling static. I might pick up a SW magazine for some inspiration too. I'm not sure I've got my head round the superfree / speed thing. I've only put things with 'SS' against them in my guide on the Superfree column of my food diary. Is that wrong?

Have a happy Sunday everyone.

This is very confusing scotrae and it took me an age to get my head around it. This is what I understand (I think). Superfree is what you must have at least a third of on EE. That's fruit and veg. Superspeed will help your weightloss so we should eat those as well. There are only a few things that fall in both categories (melon, grapefruit, strawberries etc) which I why they're so popular with SW members. Most SS things (like beans) are free but don't count towards your 1/3 superfree so you need to eat them as well as your superfree. HTH

EE for me (as ever) today:

B: NAS squash, HEB toast, egg, tomatoes, mushrooms and bacon, HEA milk with teas
L: sandwich (probably ham & salad) and grapefruit
lamb with leeks, parsnips, carrots, cabbage and SW roasties
Snacks and Syns: extra fruit and wine (:o)

Have a good day everyone. Congratulatons to MrsM on your new shiny:A Your progress is absolutely staggering!

Morning all :wave:

Lynz, don't know how you will fit in the rest of your menu after eating half a DRAGON :rotfl: unless it was a small one :rotfl:

Well done Mrs M I am in awe :A

Personally I am guttered today, WI and gained 1.5lb I do feel very heavy today for some reason. Have also got banging headache & sinus pain again AND its * week. So all in all am feeling carp.

Goes off to sulk and have a nap, hopefully get rid of this headache.

Have a good day all.

Hi all, well a bit of a disasterous day for me yesterday.. had to go into uni to do some last minute changes on an assignment and stupidly forgot my library card so once i was in i couldnt get out without paying another £7 for a 'day pass' so there i was from 9 til 8 with just an apple to eat cafe was shut as it was weekend.

Got home and felt too sick to eat as i was so hungry so yesterday i ate the grand total of 1 apple and 1 alpen light bar - not good!

Today is slightly better, but not much lol - last exam tomorrow and i am cramming.

B wholemeal barm (HE) bacon and toms
L missed lunch as i have just realised it is 2.45
D will be either cottage pie with veg or sw chicken curry with a side salad
snacks milk (HE) fruit and toms & VERY probably the aero i have in my fridge (been there 3 weeks now whoo!) to celebrate finishing the year

I will be back to normal after tomorrow so will be 100% back on plan and actually having time to eat.... nom nom nom

WI night tomorrow, so we will see how i have done this week. 2.5lb is what i am really aiming for
