sw girls

I went to our new group and it seems nice, the leader was on holiday so there was a replacement so will wait 'till next week to see what she's like. Altho it did confuse things abit as they have gone over to the new cards and we were still on paper at the last group - all set up now tho......

I lost 1lb which is good but I had hoped for a little more.....

Keep it up girls

(PS sorry for the individual messages I can never remember names to do it all on one !)

Can i join in? I am joining SW tonight, have followed it for a week, i think, from just trying to remember what you could do from last time i did it. I also bought the mag which has some good recipes in it.

determined to stick to it, and have been exercising more that usual.

Hello Claires?

I hope that your first week went ok and that you find a great meeting tonight, Good luck!

Ribena.

Hope you've all been good (ish) over the weekend!

Good luck, Claires ...

Thanks Ribena and GMT. Will report back tomorrow?

Claires - hope that your meeting went well yesterday ?

I didnt go.... i ended up working late and didnt make it. I am still following the diet though, so will have to go next Monday. thanks for asking though xx

It's annoying when work gets in the way, isn't it! It happens a lot with me, so I've found a second group which meets on a different night near home - I go there if I can't make my usual rendezvous!

Actually i didnt think to find another one? i am going to see how i get on with the diet this week, i have found the mag very helpful, so might just do it from home or online, as i work funny hours, so getting to classes is often a pain

Hi all,

How are you all doing? I hope all is well.

This week I got a certificate and a sticker! I know how my 3 yr old feels now when she gets them.

I am slimmer of the week, except I forgot about the fruit bowl that you're supposed to take home. I'm sure the others will share it out.

Ribena.

I joined last week and lost 9lbs in my first week ?

Not finding it hard to stick to at all - had eggs, chips and beans which was yummy tonight.

I need a kick up the bum. I haven't been for 2 weeks as I've started a new job and am finding it hard to get there. I know I've put weight on so i don't really want to go tomorrow.

Mad - here is a very gentle kick up the bum for you!!!! You must go to class, no-one will think badly of you for gaining (and you might not have done, wait until you weigh in!). And if you have gained, then you know you can shift it again. Go and get some encouragement from your fellow slimmers who all know exactly how you feel!

Wonderstuff, thats fab, well done!!! I'm in my second week with wi tonight so going to see how i've done!

Are you going the original plan or extra easy??

I lost 2 1/2lbs last night and got my 6 stone award ?

Wow josie, 6 stone, thats amazing!!!! How long has it taken you??

I joined in the middle on last January. I hit a bit of a wall after Christmas where I lost then put on again ..... but Ive lost the last couple of weeks so hopefully it will keep coming off. Ive another 2 1/2 stone to go until target.

Thats great josie, keep going!!

I managed to loose 3lb this week, so that 7.5lbin 2 weeks, yippee!! I also lost around 10lb before joining so way over a stone and I'm stating to feel it!!!!

Some great weight losses, girls!

Mad, how are you, did you go to wiegh in?

Thanks for the kick GMT, i went, I put on 3 lbs, which isn't disasterous, but isn't great. I worked hard to lose those pounds, and now i've got to do it all again. However i have been good, and am back on tract for now. Does anone else find that some weeks they can eat rubbish and still lose weight? I think thats my problem. i know there's a certain amount of leeway...but instead I eat chocolate or crisps each day telling myself i'll get back to it the next day. Usually after weigh in I'd come home and 'treat' myself to a few nice bits, but I didn't think week, I thought I'd see how it goes and maybe I can have a peice of mother's day cake on sunday if I've done ok.

Ive always fund that if I have a bad week thne I'm fine that week but it catches up wtih me the next week!

I'm also in the camp of 'treating' myself after wi with something like a takeaway or choc etc. Trying to get out of this now though and this week went home and cooked a normal tea which is good!!

I'm veggie so just been doing green days - I lost more than the three people who joined at the same time as me put together!

MAD, well done for going, and don't worry: you'll soon shift the 3 pounds. Think about how far you have already come - you can go further, for sure! As for eating rubbish and still losing weight, I think it all catches up with you in the end!

Well done Womderstuff on the weight losses, I bet the girls who joined at the same time as you are very envious!

Arh, Ive got my weigh in this Weds but I dont feel like I have lost any weight. I know Im being silly but I'm so into this I'll be really dissapointed if I havent!

I've been really good, stuck to the plan, although somedays Im not having my hex a (Extra easy - 1 hexa), but other than that no gone over my syns or anything xx

Sometimes we don't feel like we've lost but we have - if you've followed the plan and haven't cheated (!!!) there's no reason why you shouldn't lose. Body cycles not withstanding, of course, they do get in the way sometimes in spite of our best efforts. But in such cases, you'll lose the following week as your body catches up with itself, IYSWIM.

Make sure you do have your HE A as calcium is an important factor in weight loss, but is also vital for healthy bones etc.

Thanks GMT, Ive had cereal this mornin other wise I wouldnt have had my a again, I dont really drink hot drinks and only have cheese sprinkled on spag bol etc, and we've run out til pay day now anyway!!!

Feel a bit better today, I dont know what was wrong with me last night, but I have stuck to it so ill be pissed off if dont loose something! We shall see tomorrow I suppose!

On another note, its a taster night at my class tomorrow, any ideas of something quick and easy i could take? I was goign to try and make 'fake' forrero rocher (ie, golden syrup, ryvita and nuttella mushed together amde into balls, around 1 syn each) but Im not sure as I've never tried them, they might be rank!!! Any ideas??

I made a red day chinesey chicken and cabbage thing in the slow cooker yesterday if anyone wants me to post the recipe. I think it worked out about 2 syns in total

They are really lovely!! What about scotch eggs? I always end up making those! I use the morrisons eat smart sausages and scan bran around the outside.

Oh, they sound nice, is it just a boiled egg, wrapped in the sausage meat, the crumbs and baked in the oven? My h would like those, he is a scotch egg fan!!

Yep that is it, I add some boiling water to the scan bran and salt and pepper and paprika then squish it around the edge then i think it takes about 20 mins on 180

How many syns would they be then? do you use the scan bran as a healthy extra?

Just a bit of a whinge. I was supposed to be making a fresh start this week, but I came down with tonsillitis on mothers day, and am feeling really really pants. I've been drinking milk as it sooths my throat but thats obviously not good for sw. I'm a bit disapointed. (and on top of feeling really poorly) it's leaving me feeling a bit down. Weigh in is tonight and I've let the leader know i won't be there, so much for a fresh start.
