I put on half tonight. Okay considering my week. Have a few nights out planned for week ahead so consultant said to try 'success express' where Basically u eat 2/3rds super free which eat meal - think will need to do something if I want anything off next week!

blondes so sorry about your mum. Thinking about you.

I was going to ask about success express - it was referred to in my yellow book but can't find anything about it on the website (I am an online member)

Is there anything more to it Curly?

Yoni I remember being given a leaflet about success express. I think it is when you have 1/2 of your plate free veg etc not 1/3 at every meal. I'm going to ask about it later I'm off to group today.

I hope to have lost this week. All x'd.

I've just had a big breakfast of 2 eggs friend in spray oil, beans, mushrooms and toast (HE). Should do me until my break at work when I'll have HE ryvitas and cheddar.

3lb off for me last night! Got my shiny pink half stone award, not a bad start in 2 weeks. Went totally off plan last night with a trip to the chippy and the cinema but back on it today with avengance, would like a 2lb loss next week which will take me down into the next stone bracket. Good luck everyone else and sorry to hear about your mum blondes.

Great weight losses this week everyone, hoping the vibes will pass on to me for wi tomorrow!
Have just been to Tesco and bought 1kg of strawberries! On offer for £3.50. Superspeed here we come!! Also saw the welsh guy from The Apprentice bizarrely!

Will let you know how I get on tomorrow .

Yay - 1.5lbs off.

And bought quiche ingredients tonight for tomorrow

I've fought really hard today not to do my usual thing of getting a loss and then spoiling it all by celebrating

So:

B - bacon (fat trimmed) on toast (HE), spread with tomato purée, and coffee
L - mugshot, diet coke and apple
D - pile of salad topped with smoked mackerel and prawns, followed by yoghurt

Snacks: fruit, min choc ice cream (estimate at 7 1/2 syns?!)

Excuse the swearing.... but my effing bastarding oven has packed in!!!!!

It's a grill/fan assisted oven. 6 weeks ago just after I started SW the grill broke - heating element. £70 to be fixed, and 5 days with no grill (and I use it loads on SW!).

Now it looks like the same for the oven!!!

I'd like to cry! We use the thing loads for SW stuff. I've got food in to make in the oven too! I could really have a temper tantrum over it!

Plus I'm short on funds for stuff like this right now!

So um,

B: 2 egg omelette, cheese (HEA), peppers, tomato, mushrooms.
L: Slice of quiche, bowl of SW tomato and basil soup
D: SW chips (not quite done enough before oven packed up!) and mushy peas, had to throw my roast veg out as didn't bloody roast!

Syns: 2 soleros (5 each) 2 jaffa cakes. Also had 2 hi fi bars as HEB.

WI tomorrow....

Oh no detective that's crap. I know u said funds are low but is it worth getting a cheap George Forman? I've got the family one n use it all the time. Just grilled a chicken breast for lunch this morning
