Morning everyone. Well done to Mrs_Ryan and dustydigger on your losses this week! My first class back is Saturday so fingers crossed for a loss. I finished on 15 syns yesterday and the plan for today is:

B: Egg Muffins
L: Lemony pasta (l/o from last night)

Japanese chicken and SW chips from the new mag.

HEA will be milk and HEB 2 x Alpen Bars. Not sure of syns yet.
I've got my first gym class of the year tonight so expect to hurt a bit tomorrow.
Have a good day everyone x

Today's menu:-

BF: Mushroom omelette

Snack : Banana

Lunch: HM spinach,sage and potato soup from the Little Book of Soups plus salad with ham and 2 x chicken drumsticks. The soup alone was not enough yesterday and I was ravenous when I got in. I need to journey home alone tonight as MRM is working away so will need to be sustained so I can wait for my evening meal.

Snack: cashew nuts (HE

Tea: LO (get me, speaking the lingo!!) Campfire stew from the freezer with sweet potato wedges and 30g cheddar cheese (HEA)

Am having a Subway cappucino at the mo and will probably have a Green & Blacks bar later tonight. Want to catch up on How To Get Away With Murder tonight. Anyone else watch this?

Have a good day everyone.

Mrs R I absolutely agree with Kathryn. If you want to wear a bikini then wear one. I do and I have a big scar on my stomach,although it's from a long time ago and now faded but have been wearing a bikini for years. Be proud of your scars - they are part of you.

Everyone seems to be doing really well - some good losses coming in.

Today's plan:

B - sugar puffs (HEB); 100ml 1% milk (2 syns)
L - jacket potato; beans
D - beef stew; mash

HEA - milk
HEB - cereal
Syns - 100ml milk 2; no others planned but we'll see!

Morning.
It's blowing a hoolie here. I could hardly stand straight when I went out with the dog.
Having a quiet day today. Hubby back at work, preparations being made for a return to college this weekend. Youngest son is cricketing tonight (indoor tournament, we are not completely mad) and it's at a silly time so our main meal may well be at lunchtime today.
I bought the new lasagnes at Iceland yesterday, I may have one today with salad but it depends what the youngsters want.
My plan for today is :-
He a milk
Heb ??
B banana
L lasagne and salad or fajitas (mine in lettuce leaves)
D soup or Heb and cottage cheese
Syns/snacks satsumas, hifi bar and maybe some wheat crunchies with my soup
Have a good day.

why did you weigh your roast beef?
Ha ha, maman and Sunshine, the scales were out, and believe it or not, I do weigh what needs weighed, e.g. cheese. A case of Pavlov’s dog, methinks.

Hello again, gingerfurball and shrimpy.

What you naturally produce saliva? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I suppose it helps with digestion!

Hi, I'd like to join if I may?
I'd like to lose around 1.5 stone/10kilos in 2018 and keep it off...
This would be back to my 'normal' steady weight that I have been for the past 10 years and previously found it easy to maintain but 2016-2017 was a fairly stressful period for me and my weight has gone up and up and doesn't show signs of stopping. Mainly through eating too much junk (chocolate, cake, biscuits, hot chocolates) on top of pretty healthy main meals...
I've already made some lifestyle changes (less stress and taken up the Couch 2 5Km programme, which I completed last month). I'm continuing to run 2-3 times a week and would like to increase distance slowly and also add some long walks on 'rest' days.
Am not an unhealthy weight (yet) for my height but I'm right at the limit of the range and losing this weight would put me back in the middle and would make me feel more 'myself' again. Also, hardly any of my clothes fit anymore and I can't afford to/don't want to replace them... Would like to get fitter and more flexible this year so am hoping to take up pilates once a week too.
Sorry for long post, hope I can join you all!
ETA: Put a hole through my last pair of jeans this morning while trying to force them over my hips... Sigh.

Welcome, CattyCat.

If you say how much you want to aim to lose over the next 9 weeks then kathrynha can add you to our challenge list.

Come on in, Pollycat. Are you our first (new) foot?

Hi there.

As I said in my earlier thread, I've never actually been a SW member but I used my sister's books, adapted my own recipes, exercised hard and lost 3 stone.
I've managed to keep all but .5 stone off (that's over 15 years) and as I reduced my alcohol consumption (and calories) mid last year, the last half stone has started to shift.

I'm small, weigh 8.5 stone (but am quite muscly as I've almost always done lots of exercise), size 12-14 top and 10-12 bottom.
I'll be restarting my exercise routine next Monday.

I still observe 'red' and 'green' days, so if we're having pasta for dinner, lunch may be beans and toast.
So, as I also said on my earlier post - I feel a bit of a fraud as I was just looking for some recipes.

I wish you ladies all the best in your weight loss or keeping it off.
