Hi everyone, beginning sw tomorrow from home. Tried going to group a few years ago and didn't like it! Thought I'd say 'Hi' Smile

Sorry Misfit less. onwards and upwards...

Welcome to new people.

I have had a great day today but I have had dinner already and know I will be starving later Hmm

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 30/04/2014 19:29

When I'm lacking motivation, I like a good before and after/success story. The SW website has quite a few - really makes me refocus.

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 30/04/2014 20:36

I have spent a fortune on fruit this week! And it's going straight through me - hope that's a good sign.

Am feeling very smug as it was free fish and chips at our open evening work and I turned it down in favour of my ham salad.

I repeat - I will be gutted if I haven't lost tomorrow.

EustaciaVye · 30/04/2014 21:18

Good luck Dame Edna.

I have an upset tum. Hadnt considered the increase in fruit.

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 30/04/2014 21:52

Eustacia wouldn't be surprised if an increased intake of fruit and veg has something to do with it. My trips to the loo have definately increased (sorry TMI Smile ) I am taking it as a good sign.

Good luck to all who have weigh-in's tomorrow.

EustaciaVye · 01/05/2014 12:54

I weighed myself this morning (even though my day isnt until Saturday) and I am now 69.6kg so I have lost some :) Fingers crossed I can keep it off...

Titsalinabumsquash · 01/05/2014 17:52

5lbs off at weigh-in today :)

Lovely chick pea and chilli falafels with wedges and salad for dinner, the kids hoovered it up. Smile

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 01/05/2014 18:09

Wow Titsalina that's wonderful. You must be pleased with that!
I've had a good day today - still feel like I'm overeating tbh, but at least it's all free and superfree!

EustaciaVye · 01/05/2014 18:43

Grin well done Titsalina

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 01/05/2014 20:47

1 1/2lb. Definitely better than putting one and half on but am a tad disappointed. Although my dcous who came me with put half on - and that's our first week!

TBH if I could loose 1 1/2 every week I'd be chuffed

drigon · 01/05/2014 20:58

Hi! Can I join in,please?!
I have 5 stone to lose and have done SW in group so often I know it backwards and am doing it at home. I'm on extra easy and I thought 15 syns at first to ease myself in. Finding 2 boiled eggs and w.meal toast good for breakfast as filling. Probably will get sick of it soon so will have to ring the changes. Good luck to all! We will do it!

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 01/05/2014 22:26

Nothing to be disappointed about Dame - that's a good loss. Well done!
Weekend is my Danger Zone - I tend to let my hair down as little too freely. Going to stick to my planned meals and have just one treat. She says....

EustaciaVye · 02/05/2014 07:00

Well done Dame, that's great!

1.5 lb each week would be nearly half stone in a month!

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 02/05/2014 07:24

Thanks.

I think I may have to actually get off my backside and do some exercise, rather than keep thinking about it Smile

annielostit · 02/05/2014 07:51

Well done on the loses ladies, not been too good had wine ½ bottle two nights with crisps. Food isn't good either. Made yummy braised beef, then put them in individual buttery pastry cases.sure pies aren't allowed. I did have sw chips though. Just had brown muffin and boiled egg.fruit later.
This is like a confession! I might have to go to group for a push!x

buzzybuzzybeeshoes · 02/05/2014 08:25

Hi, I'm also just starting SW. 1lb off in first week (which I was happy with tbh) and feeling good this week - although am just off for a weekend with a pal, so going to have to be careful!

Tits, 5lb off is great, well done!

I'm on Green as am veggie. Really trying to eat plenty protein (in the form of beans, cottage cheese and yogurt mainly, though I WISH stupid Muller would make their bloody Lights veggie Envy ) I loathe eggs with every fibre of my being, though, so they're not really an option.

EustaciaVye · 02/05/2014 08:31

I am planning to go home after school run and have eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, with a slice of wholemeal. I am drooling in anticipation.

Weekends are hardest as Dh doesn't want to diet and we love pies and takeaways.

weigh in tomorrow. Not sure it will be spectacular tbh but as long as I haven't gained like last week...

EustaciaVye · 02/05/2014 13:36

I had my lovely breakfast, then have had a chicken and sweetcorn mug shot for lunch with salad of cucumber, tomatoes, pepper, and finalyy a single ROLO for a treat. It was so lovely and now I am seriously craving chocolate. How can I distract myself?

drigon · 02/05/2014 22:48

I have never eaten raw blueberries, having always stewed them, but I am finding they give me a nice sweet hit, especially with a few spoons of natural Biopot. I know it has a syn or two, but it's filling and has no sweeteners unlike Mullers.

EustaciaVye · 03/05/2014 07:34

Weigh day....
I have lost 0.5kg since last week which is about a pound. It puts me on 70.1kg - frustrating as I was 69.6 a few days ago...Anyhow, that is 2 pounds in 3 weeks with a blip in the middle (easter) - very slow going but as long as it keeps going then that's ok. Frustrating when I hear about bigger losses but there you go.

What is everyone eating today? Dh is buying into healthy eating which should help....

Titsalinabumsquash · 03/05/2014 09:33

Our weekly market are selling 3 boxes of the tiny, sweet Strawberries and Raspberries for £1, I'm loving having a bowl of them with some fat free yoghurt for my breakfast. :)

I'm going to attempt one of the curries and the Pizza this weekend. Smile

Have a great bank holiday weekend everyone. Thanks

EustaciaVye · 03/05/2014 17:03

b - fruit with creme fraiche
l - pulled pork sandwich with flora, green pepper, lettuce, carrots. yum.

had a flake 99 ice cream this afternoon though. couldn't resist. aaargh.

spag bol for dinner. With cheese on top. think I hit about 18 syns. oops.

EustaciaVye · 04/05/2014 07:21

Morning everyone.
Wish my weigh in day was today as it is better than yesterday!

Sunday lunch and then sandwiches for tea so as long as I stay off the treats I should be ok.

How is everyone getting on?

Titsalinabumsquash · 04/05/2014 16:30

I think ice out in weight this week, I'm horribly bloated, I look 6 months pregnant, I've been 100% on plan and I'm not due on or anything! does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be and how to stop it before Thursday?

Titsalinabumsquash · 04/05/2014 16:31

I think I've put on weight, that should say! Stupid auto correct.
