    Good morning to you all.

    Just done my weekly weigh and am delighted and astonished to report -8lbthis week ! :j:j

    Admittedly 5,5lb of that will be the 'bloat' that I put on when off plan away, but as that had taken a fortnight to put on, I was expecting it to take at least a fortnight to shift. I knew I was being really good this week - drinking loads of water, loads of speed, few carbs and minimal syns but that loss has exceeded my expectations - it's even 1 lb more than my first week loss!

    It's also taken me past my 4 stone mark and into a new stone value on the scales - so I'm feeling rather pleased with myself today.:j

    Plan for today

    B: kipper with 2 small slices wholemeal bread (HEXB)
    L: chicken salad
    D: HM cottage pie

    Snacks: easy peelers, red pepper, HEXA cheese
    Syns: 2 for oil for pie, possibly 5.5 for a kit kat

    :j:j:j:j well done, there is SOTW:D:D:D

    Hi,

    Popping in to report a MINUS 1 LB for me this week. Plodding along, trying to make the best choices, lots of exercise and not looking at the scales too much. I!!!8217;ll get there ..... eventually!

    Amazing loss Poohsticks, well done. That will take some beating for SOTW.

    Happy Saturday all x
    :T:T:T well done

    Thank you - but I won't get SOTW because I had a gain of 5.5 while on holiday last week (which accounts for much of the loss this week)


    Still trying to get out of the mentality of rewarding myself with food - will perhaps treat myself to a book or CD
    Oh well least thats gone then :D
    Stoke, lovely reading your story but :mad: at fiancee , you will find someone better :D:T

    I think you have hit the nail on the head. We (royal we) tend to comfort eat and then use food as a reward (I do both).

    I love beanies idea of storing the money up and treating yourself when you have lost x

    Can you just not attend a few sessions and see how you feel then?

    Well I've been seeing how it goes for a few weeks now, as my decision is not something I've just made on a whim, I've been considering it for ages. Plus not being a target member, I can't just attend when I want, as I will get charged for the weeks I don't turn up. I've already nearly used up all my holidays, as I used 2 weeks recently for when my kitchen was being fitted. So I've only got 2 weeks left until August.

    Flip, I did not realise that they charge you when you don't attend :eek::eek::eek:

    There are a lot of us doing SW with the support of this thread, and we are doing okay....well I was before the holiday I need my mojo back!

    What about putting the £4.95 aside each week, setting your target then allowing yourself access to the cash for a treat when you hit your goal?
    Do a standing order to another account?

    That's a good idea yes - my treat though, wouldn't be food, it would be Pandora (I have 3 bracelets lol).

    My consultant was really good though, she would override it for sickness and unforeseen circumstances etc, but they would smell a rat if making a habit of it.

    I don't know the ins and outs of SW pricing, but it is good that she is semi-flexible.

    Do you want to get back to target? and if so how much do you want to loose?
