Blondes arranges cushions and sw friendly snacks :)

welcome one and all and

Lost another pound this week . Feel so much better in myself and can go to Turkey in 8 weeks and feel ok wearing stuff rather than looking like a beach whale.

Blondes have a fab holiday eat, drink and be merry its a holiday .

Fish well done on your target I think us mummies will always have love handles

Keep up the hard work everyone.

Well done on the losses and huge congrats Fish...even though you've changed your target now you've still hit it once so will do it again

well done fish - thats amazing :)

Well done fish, and laughalot

Weigh in on Monday. Been sorting some too big clothes out of The Clothes Throw. Fair cheered me up trying stuff on that's too big for a change!

Hello please can i pull up a bean bag for my ample as*se cushion??

Been doing sw since oct last year and lost 9lbs. Need a kick up said ample rear end.

Need a bit of immediate help if i could be so rude. Had 2 glasses of wine already after a long day wandering around a local festival. Need encouragement to return to the diet drink rather then pour myself another glass of wine.

WI is thur night and I've done well until today. Want to go for slimmer of the week this week but feel i may have blown it now

Have namechanged from needstodiet as this one is more fitting.

No longer on a diet, this is a lifestyle change for me, healthy eating and losing weight along the way. Certainly feel much fitter than I did at the start of this journey.

Still a long way to go.

Was looking at some old pictures earlier - good grief I'd let myself get into a right state. So glad I've started to lose this weight!

So, what difference does 10lbs make? Before

After You'll have to excuse my room in this one, am mid way through doing some sorting :)

Looking good there Lollipop.

I had a look at an old pair of trousers today

Have thrown all but that one pair away. I will never allow myself to go there again.

32lbs lighter and loving every minute.

feelingfitter I also have another photo that I've now put on my photobucket that I am going to use as motivation - never want to look like this particular photo again! I might even put it on my fridge as a reminder!

Lollipop, what a difference!! I'm def going to look out some less than flattering photos for motivation.

I've only lost 6 lbs so far, but feel ( and I think i look) a lot less bloated in the stomach region.

Had a comment from my usually harsh sister last weekend - ' I hate to admit it but you look like you've lost a bit of weight'

Definite ta- dah moment!

Fairy, the stomach seemed to be the first to go on me, was also the worse part . I also found AQUABAN tablets really helpful in the week before i was due on. Also had less severe pain altho that may have been a good month, i cant tell if it had anything to do with the AQUABAN.

An ex-boss of mine never compliments. Never mentions looks even if you've had a drastic hair change .

To have her say "oh, you've lost a lot of weight, looking great" was a and a in equal measures .

Great motivation and makes me want to keep going for sure.

Oh my... I'm contemplating JOGGING to help shift some weight and improve my fitness.

The road I live on basically carries on in a straight line, with pavement til it gets to a railway crossing. I'm considering walking/jogging there and back at least 2 or 3 times a week.

I have asked a friend who runs for some advice, but let's face it, I'm going to die, aren't I?

Well done lollipop - good to take photos

I'm at the airport. Had a normal sb instead of skinny. Was lovely

I know I will gain but when home again I shall start afresh :)

Good luck all x

Half way through my week and no major cock ups yet!! I'm really trying not to jump on the scales.

This weeks plan of action is going well, still no wine ( total of 3 weeks). This is a pretty major step for me, i used to have at least 2 large glasses of wine every night, without fail.i have no willpower when i have wine, so it had to go.
I've kept away from bisc etc or have had a couple and synned them.
No nutella
The exercise hasn't happened yet! I get up between 5.30 and 6 so really have no excuse.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that if you cook fruit, you have to syn it ( because something happens to the sugar in it) is this right, or am I just imagining it??

Have a great time blondes

Hi all
Well after my syn-ful bh weekend I just kept going!! So decided to rejoin a group on Thursday! Weighed in 4lbs heavier than at home the previous week but hoping that time of day and clothes may have contributed! Group was very welcoming and its helpful having an up to date book etc. So going ok but feeling a bit disheartened at the mammoth task ahead and the time its going to take. We're still ttc so just keep reminding myself this is not just for me its also (hopefully) for the health of our new baby!

Had lunch at spud-u-like today. Obvious choice would have been baked beans but just didn't fancy them so went for tuna sweetcorn mayo instead. Thinking only the mayo will be syns - how bad can that be?? Well assuming there's around 3 tablespoons of mayo I had 15 syns in one meal!! Oops will go for the beans next time I guess!

Fairygen - only fresh/frozen fruit is syn free. Tinned and cooked all have syns.

Here's hoping for big losses this week!

Another 3lbs!!! That's 8lbs altogether in 3 weeks - really pleasing. I have been to the pool every day this week which must help.

Well done to all the losers, here's to another good week.

Blondes have a really good holiday and just enjoy.

Great weight loss jinty. Well done. Good steady pace too.

Blondes, enjoy your hols, worry about SW when you get back.

Onceipop try not to get disheartened, small steps at a time. Just think if you didn't get on this journey the weight would be the same or maybe even heavier. Little bit wk by wk with the odd blip in between is a great achievement. Wish you loads of luck TTC

P.S scales vary so don't worry (7lbs difference in mine compared to SW)

Great loss jinty.

once, I find it difficult to stick to it without going to class. Once I fall off the wagon, that's me for the whole week!

I checked my predicted weight loss on the website. Losing 2lbs a week, I'll reach my goal in Aug. Not sure if that's a bit optimistic, so typed in 1/2 lb a week......July 2014!!! Sod that, if I get there by sept I'll be happy. I'm not going to deprive myself to get there by aug, but no way I'm stringing it on for another year+.

Time to get out the exercise DVD

I always have baked potato with chilli if I'm out. If I have beans I feel deprived. I know it won't be SW but it makes me happy!

Off to make some chilli for the dinner.

If we're eating out I take a squeezy bottle of lighter than light mayo in my bag to put on a jacket potato or salad (if we're going straight out to eat, not if we're wandering round for a few hours first. I'm not THAT minging).

1.5lb loss this week. Really happy because we had a really naughty day on Monday. I've had to be virtually syn free the rest of the week.

Good work iklboo it's worth a few sin free days when you get a good loss.

I like sweet chilli sauce on salad. Perhaps I'll start carrying a bottle!

Jinty I love sweet chilli sauce just had some on my salad for tea .
