    Wow this is a very active board. I keep thinking about jumping in but not sure I'll keep up!

    Joined SW 14th Jan. Lost 9lb so far :D Although I feel like I cheated this week because my weigh in is normally after I've had dinner and this week it was before...

    I'm about to switch groups because my friend is joining a different one :) I find it very hard to talk to people in my group currently, I go alone and I'm quite shy and just can't quite bring myself to start a conversation and sadly nobody has made the effort with me either (not that I expect them to! But usually SOMEONE does in these situations...) but they are a nice enough bunch. My friend cant join my group because it takes 2 buses and about an hour to get here, but I can drive to the one by her in about 20 minutes.

    Bought a fakeaways book, looking forward to trying some recipes from that, although notice a lot of them don't even have a serving suggestion that includes 1/3 speed foods.
    Trying to lose weight (13.5lb to go)
  • Well done on your loss shala :T

    I lost 1.5lbs this week :j:j well pleased with that.. really had to stop myself eating everything yesterday so I feel like I've been rewarded :rotfl: OH got his 1.5stone sticker too :T:T

    Very excited to have bought a countdown so free book and the new magazine, and OH is in love with the new Hi-fi bars :D

    Love hearing the stories of weight loss, exciting to hear about people buying lower dress sizes :j it makes the effort soo worth it.

    lantanna - well done on no chocolate :T I dare you and Beanie to do a month without :D:p well done on your loss!:T



    Hi happe, i'm really sorry but I don't have a target down for you - have you just joined us?

    I've added your 5lb loss on for this week (big :T:T btw) and we have another 3 weeks left of the challenge if you want to give me your target loss..

    Meg - :eek: horrid people about!! but i'd love to see your conversations this weekend for the wind up, you have loads of fun!! what a ****!

    Sally - try swapping your yogurt for quark on an SP - just add a bit of vanilla essence & sweetner to it. I've swapped to this on a non-sp day now...

    off to enjoy my bakewell xx

    Thanks Shala, will give that a go. Only ever used quark in recipes so far, but have vanilla & sweetner in the cupboard and will definitely try it!
