    HALF POUND ON!!!!!

    I have one of my best MONTHS ever, and it has not shown on the scales..............

    from SOTM last month, to nothing....no headway at all!!!

    i didnt go over 9 syns any day this week, exercised portion control, was running, swimming, walking, circuit training...

    im soooooooo annoyed...

    i know its only a half......but whats making me really mad is that the total lack of progress this month!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

    tho i did have a NSV last nite, i got into a pair of skinny jeans, size 12:j

    size wise, i dont want to be any smaller, but weight wise (12.6), i do want to be smaller...and i know i should be smaller :mad:

    You and i must be in some sort of weird harmony Piglet - last night - 2lb on!!!!!!!!

    I was hacked off big time. I have been given the fast forward diet and the consultant is ringing me to discuss it tomorrow!

    Well not a good week. Harf on. Need to give myself a talking to. Sneaky syns creeping in take their toll after a while.

    Well done to all you losers. Watch this space for a loss next week. I need to get a couple of pounds off this week to feel like I am getting somewhere. Comiserations to the gainers and stay the samers. I think we need to look at what we lose over the course of a month as sometimes fluid can affect a weightloss in my case I think the fluid was wine :p Good luck :T
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.

    I'm really struggling to balance using lots of super free foods with each meal.
    I'm not a great fruit & veg eater.

    FF is so different - you have to choose from a very restricted list and according to a stand in consultant we had recently it works - but she went to bed hungry every night - you can't just pick up a piece of fruit or nibble on a carrot!

    You have to weigh/count EVERYTHING!

    I will report back when I've talked to her tomorrow!

    It was made harder by sitting next to a TARGET member who had put on 1lb but admitted to noshing a tub of icecream! I wouldn't ming if I had been naughty - but I HAVEN'T!

    I nearly got exposure cycling back from swimming on Sunday.....

    Think that's my problem. I only like certain fruit and veg then it tends to get a bit "samey" I will look like a strawberry soon. Lol

    I'm glad it's not just me :D

    I'm trying to eat the same as my OH & son & tweak it so I can use up what i've already got in.

    i got weighed behind and in front of 2 people who lost despite being very BAD...

    both had said..."them scales are wrong"!:D

    when i got off the scales and said, "half on, cant understand that" the girl behind said "i would be happy with a half on i was so bad"....she lost 1.5lbs, the one in front lost 2lbs:mad::mad::mad:

    i started SW doing "1/3 of my day super free"...as opposed to 1/3 of each meal,

    i got 5 stone off that way, the consultant knew thats what i done, and didnt have a problem with it, but on the night i got my 5 stone award she said that her boss was now telling her it should strictly be 1/3 of each meal.

    i now do it 1/3 of each meal, but my losses are all over the place, but i think thats cause im close to target,
