Hola! Back from my long weekend in Spain. I weighed on weds and had put 3 (well deserved!) llbs on. I'm back on it with a vengeance now though, I'm doing ee as I can't face anymore sp!
Just had a very nice dinner of roast chicken with garlic, lemon and thyme, home made caponata, corn on the cob and salad.
I'm hoping to shift at least 2lbs by weds.

Hi Buttwing hope you had a fantastic time Smile. Well done for only gaining 3lbs, I'll be delighted if that's all I gain after my week away in the autumn.

I found a pair of jeans that I'd forgotten I had at the back of the wardrobe. I'd brought them, couldn't get them on and shoved them away out of sight. Well, they now fit Grin This make all the effort of sticking to the diet so worth it Grin Grin

how is everybody doing? I've had to stop going to sw, I actually can't afford it and it's a pain in the arse to get there bang on kids bed time.

I've gained 2lbs the last 2 weeks, I'm answering to dh now, telling him my weight, and he's putting a pound in a jar for every pound I lose, I'm also putting the fiver a week I would have used in the same jar. I'm setting myself a.target of losing 3lbs this week (my scales are 1lb different to slimming world so mine say 15,3) then I want to lose a stone in 7 weeks

today, I've had
B- 2x weetabix with sweetener and an apple chopped up and dumped on top
L- pasta with quorn chicken, mixed peppers, paprika, quark and Worcestershire sauce. twas lush!
T- rest of corned beef hash (sw version) and a load of veggies

Hi Ravioli. I'm still plodding along. I'm a half lb of my 2.5 stone award, but I've had a slow few weeks due to a couple of long weekends away. I lost 3.5lbs this week though so thrilled about that!

I've got a holiday in 2 months time, so my goal is to lose another 1.5 stone before then.

I'm saving today's syns for some fish and chips tonight Grin so breakfast was a mullerlight, lunch was some cheese on wholemeal toast and I've been picking at strawberries this afternoon.

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well.

Ravioil I'm with you on SW being difficult to afford. I'm now just 3.5lbs away from my target (well, I was last Tuesday, hoping to be nearly there at weigh in tomorrow) and I just want to get there so that I don't have to pay each week any more. It's certainly a good incentive to stay within the target limits.

Keep posting your updates here, you can do a stone in 7 weeks!

Likewise King, you can get there before your holiday. Where are you off to?

KingOfTheStupids · 05/08/2015 17:18

Well, I've got my 2.5st sticker and my reward to myself is a new pair of jeans that is two sizes smaller than I could have gotten into back in May!

I've got to start job hunting this month and I'm feeling so much more confident about going to interviews now I feel better in my clothes Grin

How has your week been Ravioli ?

Talc have you edged closer to / reached your target this week?

will someone be my buddy :(

We've just got a week booked in Cornwall in a cottage over looking the sea. It probably won't be sunbathing weather in October, but I'm sure it'll be beautiful and there will still be plenty of things to do with the children

TalcumMucker · 12/08/2015 11:16

Love Cornwall! And October is so unpredictable with the weather you never know!

I lost 1.5lbs this week, leaving me with just 1.5lbs to go! Yikes! Was nominated for Woman of the Year also. It came down to me and the girl that won. She's a worthy winner, she's lost more weight than me and really deserves it, but I'm a little peeved as she doesn't fit the criteria to go through to the national competition and I do. I'd loved to have tried for that. But never mind, I didn't join SW for that and definitely can't complain when I'm so close to my target. Smile

Hope the rest of you are having a good week!

KingOfTheStupids · 13/08/2015 08:33

I lost 4.5lbs this week Grin

Fingers crossed that you get your last 1.5lbs this week!

We voted for our WOTY too. We had six nominees to choose from and they all had such inspirational stories. I'm glad I wasn't nominated.

I've also got an interview on Monday for one of the jobs I applied for last week. Going back to work seems really real now so we need to decide what on earth we are going to do for childcare Confused

TalcumMucker · 18/08/2015 17:30

I did it Grin

How did your interview go King?

KingOfTheStupids · 19/08/2015 21:39

Congratulations Talc, that's such a fantastic achievement. You must be absolutely thrilled Grin Grin Grin

I got offered the job Shock Grin just waiting to see if they'll let me do the weekly hours in 4.5 days instead of 5 so I can still have an afternoon with the DCs.

However, the celebrations have meant that I've maintained this week Blush

KingOfTheStupids · 26/08/2015 11:10

Got my 3 stone award this week Grin

Just another 5 to go Sad
