Well, I went for my first SW weigh-in and I lost 4lbs :j :j :j

Thought I had really blown it, as I had wine and a curry on Saturday night.
I'm sure it will slow down, but I am finding it easy as I can eat as much of certain things as I like. I save my syns so I can still have my glass of wine at night.

Hope everyone else is having a good week

Afternoon all

Mrs Doyle -I have to agree with Boo ... low fat products are usually so ram packed full of sweeteners n sugars....bleughhhh... After years of low fat alternatives, WW products etc... i have pretty much dumped them all...
I really have begun to believe that these products confuse your system, and lead to cravings etc..

I only buy butter and lard and oils, full fat mature cheese, HM bread the works :rotfl:

your fruit loaf may show a few more cals than a shop one...but i would bet there is much more substance to your cake, so hopefully a smaller piece would satisfy you ...plus the bonus of being able to sit down with the family and eat the same lovely home cooked meal.. no seperate products for you :T plus saving a small fortune on special products:j

My mentality with low fat/cal alternatives never worked.. my though was never well i can have a pack of crisps and still save cals..it was :think: ok it has half the cals of the "proper one" so i can eat 2

I have found that since dumping the ready made products i have stopped craving stuff -from starting this back in August i had no choc, crisps, cake etc until i went home for xmas -where i had a taste but wasn't bothered and then since getting back at the begining of January i have not touched them again :rotfl: and it's not that im "not allowed", i just really don't fancy them or even think about them very often :T and i do believe that it is because i am cooking from scratch and so no getting shed loads of addatives and chemicals in my system:D

When my hubby is away..i stay up really late too -until im that pooped i fall asleep really quickly -otherwise i can't settle as he isn't there Glad he was only away for the night for you

Boo -glad you liked the pate, and well done on the soup :T -if you ever want that "creamy taste" without loads of cals, add a dollop of low fat cream cheese when you blitz it -this works with pasta sauces too...

Cheerfulness-hope you are your usual happy self soon ...and hope you can find a cheap replacement window...

Rockie..glad there is good news on OHs job front :T ... hope he sticks with it -or tell him his back on a super frugal meal plan -toast, beans n pulses -that should scare him :rotfl:

Queenpig..glad you came away from last night feeling good about yourself:T

Newlywed..well done :T as the DR said "when people are slim like you" :rotfl: although i don't advocate walking round showing the world next weeks washing of course

Taplady.... i have had a caerphilly n leek burger many moons ago at a pub my sis works in and it was rather yummy:p ... hope you enjoy your piece of cake today and 2 whole days off :eek:

MHE.... when i started on here back in August i was 21st :eek: and im still 16st 6lbs... so thats 64lbs gone and about another 84lbs to go :rotfl: - so i have a whole "lard mountain" attatched to various bits of my anatomy ..
god the things i tell you lot :rotfl:
you will get rid of your 37.5lbs ..:T

Jayarr -hope everything went well with the nurse...still have my piggies crossed-but im getting cramp now :rotfl:

woohooo frogga -glad things are still going well

well so far today i have had:-

• brekkie -2 weetabix
• banana
• lunch -2 HM pittas with home boiled ham , beetroot and tickled bunions
• 2 oranges and a yogurt
• dinner -will be leftover chicken with caramalised peppers n onions -stuffed into HM tortillas and served with salad
• snackies-fruit n yogurt if i get hungry... mind im eating a fair bit today :rotfl:

Have made a loaf of bread, a pan of chicken n sweetcorn soup for hubby, vaccuumed right through and had a tidy...
Can't do the lawn as its hazy here so its wet through again :mad: ..so im now off to sort through my seeds again to figure out how much more compost and tubs i need to get all my veggies going.... think i got a bit carried away with the amount of seeds i have:p
then i may sit n x stitch

keep at it folks..
hello to anyone i have missed..have a good afternoon

Hey everyone,

I'd like to join in with the OS weightloss thread. I' just over 5'2" and have crept upto 10st and am starting to fit my larger clothes again Joined a meeting last summer and lost 1st but it didn't fit in with my working hours very well and felt like I was paying my subs so I could be sold various low fat ready meals and stuff. Not very OS but atleast it gave me a few pointer for where I was going wrong

So, after the post-Xmas slippage, I'm getting back on the weightloss wagon and starting with a 10% weightloss goal, by end of March.Wish me luck!

Hi All

Well after feeling poorly over the last 3 days and not feeling like eating much, I'm hoping that I can keep it up and not go back to eating rubbish.

So far today:

Breakfast - 2 rounds of toast
Snacks - Fruit crunch, cup-a-soup

Feeling peckish now though so wondering what to have for my lunch.

Congratulations on all the losses.

Newlywed - just be careful - we don't want you getting arrested for flashing!:rotfl:
When are you going on your shopping spree?

Hope everyone's okay

You can usually get a replacement quarterlight window from a breakers yard/scrap yard if you know someone who is able to fit it Much cheaper than a brand new one that way

Thanks newlywed, think thats what he's tryin to do. We don't have a local but he's emailing around them and getting quotes in. He says he can fit it himself but if not then we have a mobile mechanic thats great and he'll do it if we get stuck.

DS1 looking very sheepish and asking about costs. Bless, it was an accident.

Well done Charlies_mum. :T :T

Not had a chance to read through properly but if I've missed anyones losses then well done to you too.

Beginning to feel a lot more cheerful now as my big box of LUSH has arrived (used survey money to buy so didn't feel too guilty ). I think a nice relaxing bath is needed and then a proper read at what you are all getting up to.

Oh and Frogga - great to see you are doing so great. Getting ready for you GMTV sofa no doubt!

mhe

Gosh MRSM - your menus always sound fab and you have still lost 4.5 stone WOW
:T WELL DONE TO YOU :T

In about 4½ years time when I finish my DMP ????

My clothes budget is about £20 a month but that usually gets sucked up into the food budget but hopefully end of April when I've cleared a few unofficial loans off

Hi everyone,

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I was at my wits end with DD. She's 3 and seems to be very anxious about everything, cries easily, constantly tidies, wants hands washed & asks when daddy's coming home ALL DAY LONG!!!!. I rang health visitor & actually cried down the phone at her. She's sending DD to see a paediatrition, hopefully a step in the right direction.

Anyway, sorry for babbling...Food Today.....

Breakfast: Porridge with semi-skimmed milk, raisins & large tea.

Lunch: Sandwich with salad, wafer thin smoked ham & some low fat mayo.

Dinner: Garlic chicken, roasties, baby carrots, green beans & pepper sauce (made with skimmed milk), gravy for kids.

Congrats to all who've lost and keep up the good work till weigh-in next week to everyone else!!! :T :T
