Hi all,

been a bit awol this week - work has been mental!

WI was +1.5lbs - star week so not too surprised!

I am another that would love to have my belly button pierced - keep thinking if I loose this last stone that I will get it done but at 34 also wondering if I am a bit old now!

On plan so far this week and have managed the gym each day too - feeling it a bit but will push through

Ha ha, Tete, maybe I’m still with OH because I don’t think I could be faffed with dating now! You never know what’s around the corner.

Fingers crossed, I do still hope I'll find my 'one' with enough time to still have kids but I'm trying to enjoy the life I have and change the things I have power over, rather than lamenting what I thought I'd have by my mid-30s.

People keep telling me I'm strong too and I really don't feel it. I think sometimes you are forced to be strong by your circumstances but you just need to remember to let the soft and struggling side out sometimes too for your own wellbeing.

Very well said! :T

Bubbs - so sorry to hear about your sis and BiL - hope your leak is covered by the insurance and not too difficult to fix.

WJN - I'm 35 and still have my bellybutton piercing from when I was 16 so you're not too old! Stupidly though about ten years ago I replaced the proper navel bar with a small eyebrow bar and now I want to put a pretty navel bar back in but the hole has shrunk! I almost fainted trying to push it through a few weeks go, but can't face going to get it re-pierced

Bon voyage, Denise!

Today:
B - Toast and butter (3)
D - Frozen jacket spud (1) with FF cottage cheese and a salad of grated carrot, cherry tomatoes, and pickles
T - Something labelled "chicken and carrot curry" from the freezer, with couscous.
HEA - Milk
HEB - Toast
Syns - Sugar (4), butter (3), potato (1), hot chocolate (2) = 10

Hi everyone

I hope you don't mind me barging in on this wonderful thread only I was doing SW online and lost just over a stone. Onto today I have put it all back on and a bit more

Anyway I have started again from last week but am going it alone as I can do without another monthly bill.

Can I ask the experts as I have just made a stir fry consisting of

• Bean sprouts
• Courgette
• Onion
• Half a tin of mixed bean salad
• Mushrooms
• Fry light
• Light soy sauce
• Splash of Worcester sauce

Am I right in thinking this is all free?

I have 2 stone to lose and would love to join all of you on your journies if you don't mind
Thank you
M

Welcome. We are always happy to have new people join us. If you have an idea how much you want to lose over the next 3 weeks then I can add you to the spreadsheet.

Only thing I'm not sure of on your list is the mixed bean salad. Looking on the app, a lot of the tinned ones are free. What brand is it?

Hi Kathryn and thankyou for your reply and welcome. The mixed bean salad is Morrisons. The label says
Half a can - 94Kcal
Fat - 0.1g
Sugars - 0.9g

I lost 3lb last week as this was my first week back on track. I would love to be added to the spreadsheet thankyou. I need an incentive as well. I (ideally) would like to lose 5lb over the next 3 weeks. My weigh in day is Mondays.

Thanks again for letting me tag along

Edit to add wow I've just noticed your signature. Congratulations on a massive weight loss
