Welcome back Kathrynha & welcome Jay and hello all!

Well yesterday didn't go to plan - was going to a friend's house for a get together as her son (who've I've seen grow up) got engaged recently. But I don't know why but I felt ill before I went and was only there 20 minutes before I had to go home ill. 12 hour sleep later I'm as right as rain!

On the plus side I saved myself from the excess of the buffet & alcohol & my daily weigh shows a mega loss ....just need to keep it up until next Saturday now haha.

Today we've been up mum's - hubby fitting some wardrobes for her & me fixing her phone that's she been moaning about for weeks....and even though I took her old wardrobes to the dump & fixed her phone guess who had all the praise heeped on him??

Dinner tonight will be a chilli that I've defrosted - hopefully to keep up the momentum that last night started.

Have a good evening everyone

Sorry you wasnt well, but glad you are ok now x

Good morning all,

Well after my good WI yesterday I had a Chinese and alcohol last night. Can't actually remember the last time I had either of these so I don't feel too guilty. I had a veggie dish too to I feel like I had some speed! It was good but onwards today... if I think of the amount of take always I used to have, it's no wonder nothing fitted and I felt like rubbish. I do feel like SW, in making me do a lot of cooking from scratch, really improves my overall health, not just the numbers on the scales if you know what I mean. I could have got the same results from slimming shakes etc but I actually feel quite healthy which is great.

BUBBS, I'll be making your lifesaver quiche today. I meant to tell you, I put blobs of Quark on top prior to cooking. I like quark and it gives a little bit of extra flavour and texture. It's so good for leftovers and so easy to make. Love it and I do appreciate it when you post images of your food, it always looks so good.

I'm sorry TWEETS that Poppy is affected by the fireworks. It's a rubbish time of year for pets though luckily my two dogs don't seem to register fireworks or thunder. Don't quite understand this as they go bananas at any other kind of little noise. I hope she is okay poor pup, extra cuddles in order I think and for any other lovely pets out there.

One quick point, any dog owners out there, be care of acorns, there seems to be an awful lot out there this year (I have never noticed them or had any issues in other years). One of my dogs got very poorly from eating them and had to stay in vet hospital and have multiple trips to the local vet in the last two weeks and a LOT of medication. He had gastritis and colitis and was a poorly pup indeed. He's almost recovered now but I have to be so careful where I walk now. Other people I have spoken to have also had issues and dogs in general seem to be picking them up this year. I think there must be a squirrel shortage!!

BEANIE, I was trying to work out how to quote but haven't quite managed it, but thank you for your encouragement :A. I think I remember a little while ago that you were close-ish to the elevens and trying to get there?? Am I right on this? I'm there but at the top end so am trying to slowly work my way down. The encouragement on here from everyone is great and I don't know what I'd do without it. I hope you see the elevens soon x

At the minute my weight is the only thing that is going well in my life so I am clinging onto that success. Pretty much everything that could go badly wrong is going badly wrong (apart from serious illness thank goodness) so I'm pretty impressed that I haven't hit the food big time which has always been my 'drug' of choice. My life may be a mess but I'm looking pretty good good on it!!:D I will keep smiling, keep plodding and I will turn things around. To anyone else out there gong through hard times for whatever reason, I wish you strength and courage and all good things x

Well, time is moving on so I must get out to walk the dogs now, looks like a lovely morning and I need to walk this Chinese and cider off! X

Thanks
Still chasing the elusive elevens.

Can I please join the thread in preparation for the next challenge?

I joined SW (again) 4 weeks ago and have lost 7lb so far. I have a lot to lose but I'm only aiming for 1lb a week because I know myself too well!

Great loss so far:j:j

I often hear consultants saying ' go back and read your books ' to members stuck on a bit of a plateau. That's what working for me. I didn't actually need to read the book just keep within my syns. Sounds simple??

P.S. Heard a great joke on the radio: Scientists have discovered the obesity gene. She's working in Greggs! :rotfl:
