mm, glad you explained that it's people who have fallen off the wagon and trying to justify themselves are the problem. I was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable. I've been at target for 9 months but I still come on here to make sure I stick with SW. I definitely don't want to revert to old ways. But I hope I don't come across as patronising or condescending. If I have, I apologise.

I have great sympathy (and empathy) with you obsessing about food. I find if it works for me if I've got a nice SW meal planned (like a roast as I know it'll be yummy but also packed with SFs or a 'pub' style meal of a gammon steak or HM burgers with chips and mushrooms, peas and tomatoes) then I can think about that!;)

OMG Maman I hope I didn't offend you in any way. The only reason I come on here sometimes is because of people such as you who give me hope and a little bit of sanity in my insane world! I make a point of actually not telling anyone I'm on a diet because I know the kind of remarks that they give or think (if you don't start showing a loss) so please don't think I was making any remarks about you or anyone else on here.

Thanks for the welcome back I like the idea of batch cooking, maybe i should invest in a few reusable freezer tubs and dust off the slow cooker. has anyone here ever done jacket spuds in a slow cooker? i love a proper traditional jacket with crispy skin, but dont have the time when im home to wait for them to bake do you also find that meal planning keeps you on track? where do you start?

Lizzie B, ~I to have no time to cook but am doing ok, been on sw a few months.

For the jacket potato, when I get back from work I turn the oven on high, pop a potato or two or three in the mircowave for 15 minutes then take potato out, cover with frylight and place in the oven for 20-30 minutes and they are lovely, saves on time and electric.

I also do this for sw chips, cut up my chips place in microwave for around 7 minutes, frylight when out and bung into high oven - which means no saucepan to wash and speedy crispy chips

well done losers.

I am gutted - have had a good week, no booze or sweets and I've put ON 1lb - I could greet. I wouldn't mind putting on if I had been off plan or eaten all my syns but I haven't. The only thing I have done differently this week is eat my syns in a daily basis rather than save them for the weekend - I have had between 5 and 10 syns a day.

It is going to take evry ounce of will power to keep me off the wine bottle tonight!

Never minds kandfsmam,
You know how good you have been, :A so onwards and downwards is the way :A
I had a few weeks like that but I persevered with it and the next week got a loss :rotfl:
I know how disheartening it can be, but good or bad the scales will catch up with you.
So start from today as a new day, of a new week, and carry on regardless. This time next week it will be a huge loss.
Good luck xx

You are all so lovely & supportive

Quick easy meal screams omelette to me! Dead quick and easy, I make mine with bacon and an A of cheese melted under the grill on top. Serve with salad or beans if you can't be faffed with salad.

I love omelettes, great SW food.

kandfs mum ((hugs)) you are doing so great anyway and you're one of my biggest inspirations on here! don't let the tiny gain ruin your day/week (if it was me I'd have the wine anyway because you KNOW you've been good and done well)

I'm having another good day! :j
we went out shopping(yes, shopping is my hobby in case you're wondering, I do it every day or almost ) and bf was saying he want's a burger but I told him to shut up and starve until we get home and I'll make a lovely lunch :rotfl:

So I fried(in oil!) some beef burgers for him and I had the Linda Mccartney sausages(not fried in oil of course!) :eek: :rotfl:that plus baked beans and a huge salad and I have to say it was really yummy :eek: I guess the tomato sauce from the beans improved the taste of the sausages but they were really much nicer then I expected them to be

salmon, SW chips, broccoli and salad for dinner

Hope everyone has had a lovely bank holiday monday.

Gunsandbanjos - can you share your tips for the perfect omelette please? I usually end up with a burnt omelette / it all in bits !!

Oh and whilst on the subject, can anyone recommend a frying pan that is MSE but which I can put under the grill / in the oven ????

Hello everyone

well I have decided to join SW this evening :eek:

I am currently about 20st 7lb, I was 21st at my heaviest and heading there again , I did lose 6s stone in 2005 but due to a lot going on in personal life I came off my diet again and put the 6 plus more back on again .

I have probably tried every diet going and always seem to give up after a few weeks.

I have been really impressed by 2 people I know who have lost 3 stone and 3.5 stone in SW so thought I would give it a try.
