    Hi guys,

    I kind of abandoned ship for a while - lots of stuff happening in life that meant I couldn't even think about plan - BAAAAD move.

    Now unfortunately at the heaviest I have ever been :eek::(:eek: and medication which I'm now on is not helping that at all...

    Initially plan was to be at least a size smaller for the brothers wedding next month, but that realistically isn't going to happen.... sooo.... NEW PLAN!

    1) to be a full dress size smaller for Christmas
    2) to be 2/2.5 sizes smaller by June 2016
    3) (wishful) to be at goal by June 2016

    Goal... ideally a size 10-12 by June 2016.... in reality I need to lose 4ish stone for that to happen... plausible, but in truth... as long as I can get into the size; I don't care what the scale says.


    So.... currently clearing out the freezer at the minute, and; come payday in just over a week... plan will start with a bang. I will do this!!!!!
    I'd rather try and fail, than not try and never know :grin:


    On the wagon again I go.... royally fell off.... 4.5st (63lb) by June 2016.... LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!! :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

    Maman I haven't been in hospital a lot of times but when I have the food has been great. Not a lot ,but good. That chicken with mushroom sauce or gravy was spot on. I don't know why folk complain about hospital food Royal Blackburn deserves a medal as big as a dustbin lid.:rotfl::rotfl:

    I found this mushroom sauce recipe


    http://www.mytaste.co.uk/click/index/23109348/latoyah.co.uk


    which looks good.


    My team lost today so feeling very miserable:cry:, soon be time for wine syns so that should cheer me up. Pulled pork is in the oven, shed lots of tears with the onions too.


    That was a good loss shala:T.Do your very best to rein back from too many syns.


    Good to see you again fluff. So pleased you've not given up. 4 stone in almost a year is very doable. I lost 3.5 stone in 10 months to get to target and that only averaged about 1.5 a week. You can do it!! It's always hard having to clear what you already have in. Normally I wouldn't suggest cooking searate meals but is there anyone else who could eat the naughty stuff so you can get started ASAP?

    Hi Peeps, anyone out there who might just know syns of a morrisons indian spiced veggie burger. I so love these and as I don't eat veg they used to make me feel very virtuous. However I'm thinking syn value may change all that :(

    Cheers Maman :)

    I'm rather annoyed that I've let myself get to this stage to be honest... but the kick up the butt I need is that I am going to visit a friend in Canada next summer; and I'll be damned if I stay the size I am now (5'9 and size 15)

    Unfortunately I live alone, so in terms of naughty cupboard stuff; I can bin that. Freezer/storecupboard stuff isn't THAT bad, but I'm limited in what I have for the next week and a bit until pay day... so I have to be creative with what I have already (also planning to try and wipe out my c.card debt by November - given that I need to put flights on it and also sort Christmas between now and then)


    Last time I was ALMOST at my first target (3lb off it).... if I could get to the same weight, I would be happy..... clinically, I'd be at the top edge of 'healthy' but I was a size 12 and was happy. Granted, I'd like to push a little past that and maybe be 1/2 stone under it, which would mean more towards 4.5st/5st, but lets be realistic....
