I don't like "real" sausages (I don't mind eating hoof and nostril but I'd prefer to actually see it than have it minced) but I love Cauldron Cumberland vegetarian sausages.


How does that work then, or are you exaggerating :rotfl: cos in our group it's on, be weighed, get off. She won't let anyone get back on cos it !!!!!!s up the system or something. Not even to try again after kicking off trainers, for instance!


I don't talk to anyone except you lot now, oh except the chap I share an office with and he never listens to what I'm saying anyway!

We're not allowed on the scales more than once either!

Just shows how groups can differ!

I put on .5lb last night - which given all the hassle with * is a good result. I did ask the weigh in lady to pass on that I didn't want to be grilled about my weight gain but the message didn't reach the leader who wanted to talk to me about everything - and then suggested i hit Fast Forward again!!!!!!!!!!!

To which my answer was that I am just hoping to feel well this week - yesterday was the first day in over a week when I haven't had a sleep during the day - and i did manage 2 hours of ironing.....

But I am not doing Fast Forward again feeling as bleuch as i do now..... Ad i have been starving over the past week - I am confidant that FF is inappropriate at the moment given the way I feel...... why can't she see it?

Havent posted for a couple of weeks naughty me. Not much to tell, just plodding on. Enjoying the lovely weather. Bought some new summer clothes and pleased to say in a size down from what am wearing at the moment:T

Hayfever has reared its ugly head resulting in me looking like a bog eyed goldfish, very fetching. Am really hoping I can manage another two pounds for next Tuesday WI as want my one stone award before I go on holibobs.Have a good week everyone.:T

Oh Vicki I feel for you. Have you tried talking to your friends? Its your first week so I wonder if they even know youve started SW or is there stuff going on in their lives to stop them from mentioning your loss?

There'll always be someone around on here with an encouraging word but do try and talk to your friends as well. You've made a great start it would be nice to share it with people in the flesh.

Well done to all who have had losses this week and big hugs for the people with bad news. x

yeah tried talking to them this isn't a recent thing its been ongoing since i started WW last year if they do mention my weight loss it's in a negative way saying stuff like i've gone too far even though i am still technically overweight. Suppose I just have to get used to the fact that in addition to the weight i've lost i've lost actual people in weight too :eek:

KJM - you need to take him to task about this NOW! Is he deliberately trying to sabotage your diet? Does he himself need to lose weight (it could be his way of saying no, I don't!). You need the support of the people you live with. Good luck :grouphug:



Yes he does need to lose weight, more than me! He did say that he would join slimming world with me but then 2 minutes later he was eating chocolate so I couldn't imagine him sticking to it.

Maybe he's trying to stuff as much rubbish in before making the final decision to join you. I can actually understand him a bit although not why he would be trying to sabotage your diet. I'm sure he's not deliberately thinking of sabotage while he's doing it but more of psychological self-destruction to himself if that makes any sense.

Actually if you can help him to just take the first step and come with you to class then you'll be doing both of you a huge favour and helping him through will make you feel virtuous and keep you 100% on plan.

good luck to you both

Morning :wave:

Quick post - will catch up properly later :j

Just wanted to say I'm still obsessing about pick and mix ?! so decided to buy some this morning as having a holiday from SW class and got car travels this week. Anyhow got caught in sainsburys buying fruit then spotted the cherries ! and although I did buy some milka chocolate (which I can syn), I decided I didn't have time to pop to Wilkinsons as well and get pick and mix so will make do with my cherries instead which I am really looking forward to :j Incidentally (out of interest) how would one syn pick and mix ?? it must at least be several syns per sweet :eek:

also just wondering... did anyone watch the show on channel 4 at 10pm last night ? i caught the beginning of it (I was :eek::eek::eek:) but went off to bed so have recorded it to watch later.

It's classic jealousy Vicki. You know maybe you could invite them round for supper and make a really good totally SW meal (without telling them that) and when they start talking about the food (they will probably say something about all the pastas and sauces that can't possibly be diet) you can tell them that it's all allowed and it's the easiest diet (non-diet) you've ever done. Even if you just get one of them to stop and think and perhaps take that first step, you've done someone a huge favour.

i think the weight loss bit is the tip of the ice berg if i'm being honest most of them were not 'real' friends anyway as over the past year it's like the blinkers have been knocked off my eyes (despite my dad telling me for years!) and in most of my 'friendships' i'd be the one to drop everything to run round and help people but i never got nothing back in return sometimes not even a thank you! i'd spend a fortune on people for xmas and birthdays and just in general then i'd get some rubbish gifts back- i'm not saying it should be of equal value i don't give to receive but most of them were gifts that no thought had been put into whatsoever
on another note because i haven't been buying gifts my bank balance has never been so healthy! so i suppose they have done me a favour in staying away. my confidence seems to disappear more and more with all the bad comments and i feel self conscious as it is then someone sat me down the other week and told me to myself first and if everyone goes away i don't need them in my life anyway. i do need to do something about this confidence thing because the minute the consultant said my name last night i could feel my face going redder and redder and i was looking at the floor when talking to her but if she said i had a gain i'd have probably hugged her.....maybe my weight loss is brain matter!! :rotfl:

I had the tesco healthy eating sausages last night - they were ok but a bit dry. Looking at the Joe's sausage website I can find nutritional info but no ingredients list - could anyone who has them let me know the meat content?

OMG Vicki this could be me talking. I know exactly what you're saying and what you're going through but do yourself a favour and move on from them NOW! You sound young but I'm old and have let people destroy me over the years - don't let people pull you down so just move yourself away from them. If you want to PM me please do.

Morning, it is BEAUTIFUL here today. Trying to keep my mind off tomorrow (unsuccessfully I may add). Need to tidy up my hovel of a flat, it looked so nice last week but has slipped a little so cleaning and hoovering must count as body magic?

Having a mix to max day today.

Going to have some weetabix(B), yoghurt and banana in a bit.
Lunch will be soup as usual (need to make more)
Dinner is roast chicken thighs with franks red hot sauce(Amazing stuff!) and salad.
