  • Well back from the walk, 24 miles in 8.5 hours. Really muddy and it started snowing, was really thick on the moors and rained all afternoon.

    Fortunately the food en-route wasn't that great, basically a few biscuits and some cake, I ate a few small bits of flapjack and had more tea than my HEA, but no big deal, it could have been a lot worse. The food at the end was a corned beef hash, so not too bad, I've probably overdone it by about 15 syns so quite happy.

    Hope I can do ok at weigh in this week, I think it gave me too much on my early weigh in last week, 3.5 off, normally get about 2, so a STS would be great and average out at about right.

    Felt really hungry today, don't know why, its the first time in ages I've felt so hungry. Anyway binged out on a large bag of sweet & salty popcorn. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad. I'm so disheartened at how slowly this Christmas weight is shifting. Lesson learnt I won't be making the same mistake again.

    Well done Jockosjungle, looking forward to reading your WI results, I am sure they will be stellar after your walk!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Welcome arroli :wave: as tweets said the first few posts should point you in the right direction :D also if you go onto the Slimming World website then there is a 7 day menu plan for you to follow. [STRIKE]Can't do the link, sorry, I'm on my iPad![/STRIKE]

    here it is http://www.slimmingworld.com/healthy-eating/non-vegetarian-menu.aspx

    Mim - sorry you're feeling frustrated! Is there anything we can do to help? Have you tried doing a bit of SP to see if it kicks starts you a bit? Or red days?

    Jock - glad you're back from your walk safe and sound. I'm sure the calories you burnt would see off the flapjack!

    LoisLane that made me laugh out loud! It's just a nickname that we gave it years ago and it's stuck but I never thought about the fact that you guys probably wouldn't know what it was!!! Still laughing now at the binge-ers...I could probably do with going for that too :rotfl:

    Maman that's sort of what I planned to do but ended up having 65g of prunes instead...wow. TMI but I don't feel bloated any more, I think I might have that as my HEXB more often!!!!!

    I still dont know what bingers is :o


    I have been eating 65g prunes for my HE for some time now and it has no effect and I still have tummy issues at the weekend :( Hubby has eaten them too and had same effect as you. Why doesnt it work for me? Then I could come off my meds, which dont work that well either. Off to finish my HE now :D
    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T

    Course you can join in :D .. I think our target members just have their target set as 0 and try to maintain that throughout the challenge..

    How exciting that you're close to target - how far are you away :T :T
