Glad you had a great time gettingthere! That 8lb will come off in no time, most will be water. I wouldnt be surprised if you lost 4-5lbs first weigh in.

Hello, I, back!!

Hi everyone, here I am again.
Had a truly fab week in Florida, the weather was superb, the food was to die for. :-(
I started off with all good intention, really I did.
I even ordered low fat meals on the plane, all went well until I gave in and said yes to an ice cream cone!
Then that was it!!
I still tried my best though, but my best was not good enough.
Everything you eat in the USA is BIG!! literally.
One meal could easily feed a family of 3 or 4.
So I had a big mac, ( don't usually like them ) a donut, yuk! but ate it. Does this all sound familiar?
So on and on it went until finally I jumped on the old trusted wii scales, to show ...................... wait for it!! Drum roll please!! ....................... 8lb GAIN!
So here I am now feeling like a big fat beached whale.
Tomorrow the diet starts again, and hopefully by next week I will have lost most of what I put on!
P.S. Missed ya all!!

Welcome back

You do not go to Florida and stay on SW.....I'm actually jealous of your weight gain, only because I know how good the food is that you've eaten to put on 8lb

I gained half a stone when we went last time. I will definitely put on when we go later this year, no doubt about that! IHOP and Chilli's here I come!

Glad you had a good ho;liday getting there.

Tomorrow is another day.

Wel, I finally got my backside into gear and went and rejoined SW tonight after not going since Nov 2010 and that was for just a few weeks. Prior to that I'd been a couple of years before and lost just about 2 stones.

I am going the EE way I hope and have everything I need plus the latest SW mag. I will start tomorrow with my 1 oz cereal, skimmed milk and a banana and go from there. I think the safest way for me is to just choose EE recipes from the mags for the first week anyway.

Can I REALLY do SW curry (say) and have rice with it for FREE?

yes! as long as 1/3 of your plate or day is SF (depending on which route you are going down)

Ooopsy piggy me had increased by 2 lb tonight! I went to a different group, right after work and about a 10 minute ride away, it was packed, and noisy, and everyone seemed jolly. the consultant spotted me right away and came over to check if I needed the "newby" talk or if I was a visitor. I didn't stay as I had loads to do at home this evening (ironing, cooking for 2 more days, ...erm. ..reading ...eating)

I can really identify with the "sabotage yourself" comments, I guess we almost all do it. And then feel sick and guilty, too.

Your consultant must have super sensitive scales...how do they cope with all those people getting weighed one after each other every week, there was a lady in my group today who got weighed went to the toilet and got weighed again!
When she read out my weight loss in group I could feel myself going bright red and then people started asking what I'd been eating so I said whatever you guys tell me to ha!

- have read a couple more posts from people whose consultants' scales only let them weigh once, thank goodness, I thought maybe I'd imagined it all :rotfl:Is your group electronic? I thought we all were now.

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.

Wots that then? Off to google. Me and chilli, we are best mates.

Just remembered (before bed) I was going to comment on the "fat friends" posts. Years ago I used to lift-share to work with a really pretty, intelligent but very overweight girl (truly, my car door was badly damaged when she opened it near a kerb, got in, the side of the car went right down onto the kerb and buckled the bottom of the door - she was that big, bless her). She had very low self esteem though, even without the car business which I never actually mentioned to her, and lived with a chap who wasn't the full twelve pence iyswim. He actually drooled. And never worked, lived off her. And spent every day trawling the local town to pick up women for a bit of nookie which, surprisingly, he seemed to manage to do. Anyway, the bf's sister once told me he had said to her that he went out with my colleague because "she's so fat no-one else will want her so she won't stray". Isn't that vile? I never told her obviously. They were together for years but I've lost touch now. So it's not just your girlfriends who can be using you, sometimes the chaps like to encourage you to be bigger too, so they feel "safe". Let's do it for OURSELVES gals. x

Hi All :wave:

CH27, you are not the only one who binges, tomorrow is another day, I had 1lb gain this week, but have * & since getting coil replaced last wed I am still in pain, so am sitting here on my 2nd glass of rose catching up with desperate housewives, why is it when I have a gain, I want to burst my syn barrier & be naughty, I had only had 1 syn today (tomato sauce in my salmon). Ok I never had the dry weekend didn't have the willpower but still within syns, can i ask the following

Is 30g mature cheddar an HEA? May be where I am going wrong as the book doesn't say mature :eek: I love cheese , infact still to have my HEA for today so off for cheese n pickle now
Does it have to be co-op WM pitta ( I use Asda or Tesco)

I stood & made my DH a fry up on Sunday, consisting of sausages, ham, potato scone, mushrooms, tomato, dumpling, egg, beans, I had..........frozen berries n yoghurt :A. Thats dedication :rotfl:

I'm just having my lunch, wasn't hungry before for some reason.

Made another ginormous pot of lentil soup.

Thanks for reminder of this G&B - I have a fridge full of wilting veggies cos I couldn't be bothered chopping them all week so I'm off to throw them all into a big pot with lentils and then freeze portions - just what I'm looking for to get me back in gear.

Welcome back GT - how could you not have a good time in DW. Re the gain, you know how it works and you know how to lose it so I'm sure you'll be back at target in no time at all and after all that's exactly what you worked so hard for so that you could enjoy every minute of your hols.

just popping in quickly to say thanks for all the comments from people yesterday i left my house yesterday feeling all happy and motivated and went to spend the day with my 2 month old god daughter- she was a bit moany on and off all day and we thought it was the heat then a rash appeared and she was taken into hospital last night with suspected meningitis we are currently waiting for the lumbar puncture tests to come back if this had happened 2 years ago i would have raided the vending machines....instead i was begging the nurses to find me a banana at 3am! just come home to get changed then got to go to work which is only round the corner from the hospital fingers crossed everything is ok and she can come home
