FHF you are doing brilliantly, I've no doubt you will reach target :) I've got 3.5lbs to go to mine, fingers crossed

Huffpot · 09/11/2012 08:46

Well done FHF and only 3.5lbs left Choc? Thats amazing!

Am still feeling rubbish today so will see how I feel tonight as have my swimming lesson but no point if I'll cough a lung up in the pool!

SlimJimBra · 09/11/2012 09:51

Can't see it being this week for me guys.

I'm having the worst period of my life at the minute and haven't stopped eating and crying for 2 days now :(

I will get back into it tomorrow, I HAVE to!!!

D'ya ever just get the feeling you want all the crap food of the day?

SlimJimBra · 12/11/2012 07:54

Oh FHF :( you poor thing x I know the feeling, like your diet/ body is the only thing you have any control over and then just to assert control (because you have lost it elsewhere) you self sabotage the diet and then feel sick and guilty afterwards :( and there's nothing you can do to undo it and put it right either so you feel even crappier

Huffpot · 12/11/2012 09:32

hugs FHF I know that feeling too

Can you make some better food alternatives? I highly recommend quark truffles....recipe is:
Makes 20
Syns for whole batch 24.5
2.5 syns for 2 truffles

Ingredients
50g dark chocolate chips
113g quark
2 options sachets (any flavours)
28g chocolate sprinkles

Method

  • Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about a minute then stir until smooth
  • Beat the quark until creamy. Add the chocolate and mix well.
  • Add the options sachets and mix
  • Using a teaspoon, make 20 blobs onto some greaseproof paper and put in the fridge to harden slightly (about 20 minutes)
  • Remove from the fridge and roll into balls with the palms of your hands
  • Roll truffles in the chocolate sprinkles and put back in the fridge to set overnight. Once set store in an airtight container in the fridge

Enjoy (they were so gorgeous!)

I thought SW made allowances for your "star week"?

FairhairedandFrustrated · 12/11/2012 22:34

You'll be glad to know I have managed a day on track today!!

Have spent all evening cleaning out cupboards, washing the fridge and changing bedclothes! What has me cleaning? A fucking dose of thread worms

Don't know which child kindly shared, but unfortunately I have been infested...... Little shits :(

Thank you all for the kind words, ooh and the truffle recipe! Am going to try those!!

How's everyone getting on?

Huffpot · 13/11/2012 08:38

Eugh thread worms....I've been thinking about dosing our lot for that.

Am glad you're back on track - its too easy to not bother when things are happening in your life.

I promise you those truffles are amazing - my DP had to be restrained from wolfing them and hes not on SW!

We're all still coughing and sick here - I think its the season for it all.

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 13/11/2012 10:51

Jaffa cakes, bloody Jaffa cakes will be my downfall this week along with the Thorntons box of chocolates.

FHF feel for you re period, finished my one from hell and TMI warning ( there were clots ffs!- not had that since childbirth!)

Threadworms are also a delight....not been your week really :(

Hoping for a loss but not that hopeful and next week will be a gain as working on the Elections on Thursday which clearly involves stuffing ones face to alleviate the tediousness of the day, then I am away at hotel on Friday which involves a wonderful lunch out and dinner then lots of alcohol and treats, followed by a hotel breakfast, then a further lunch out and about..Phew!

Goosed really! Blush

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 13/11/2012 10:59

Have been determined to be healthy for this hotel trip with my Mum and Sisters so have been sleeping in the spare room away from OH as he has the lurgy, and have been gargiling Corsodyl which has led to the removal of my taste buds to keep the nasty bugs at bay!

However in work today and think I need a mask as its like a doctors waiting room!

SlimJimBra · 14/11/2012 15:51

What a lot of lurgy :( sorry for those suffering.
Not much happening here, apologies for the raio silence, it wasn't anything causing it except a lack of any news. Is anyone doing the list tonight? I don't mind doing it if no one else has volunteered yet :)

FairhairedandFrustrated · 14/11/2012 17:08

Sorry there are so many illnesses about!!!

We're preparing for transfer test here on Saturday, so it's a very stressy house at the minute Hmm

Dinner tonight is sw chips, ex lean mince burger and egg. Melon & pineapple after .

Good luck all for DOD I get weighed tomorrow & will report back!!

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 14/11/2012 19:07

I have that morning sickness nausea without being pregnant Urgh on way to wi now to see just how bad damage is :)

SlimJimBra · 14/11/2012 19:51

I've had one pm, where are the rest of you all?

FairhairedandFrustrated · 14/11/2012 19:51

Aw choc, sympathies :(

Hope WI was ok x

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 14/11/2012 20:23

Slim sending it to you now

Cheers FHF :)

SlimJimBra · 14/11/2012 22:03

Thanks Choc and huff. Any more for any more?

SlimJimBra · 14/11/2012 22:41

The big fat list :)

Chocolatezombies has lost 2lb this week, total loss 1st 12.5. Current weight 11st 11lb

Huffpot has lost 1.5 lb this week but has lost track of her total weight loss

SlimJimBra has lost 0.5lb this week and is 0.5lb above her target

Well done to Choc Thanks and well done huff too. A short but very positive list :)

Huffpot · 15/11/2012 07:51

Total loss for me is 1 stone 4.5lbs...

I'm delighted I'm still losing but would love to get a bit more off this week...I'd like to get down another 9lbs or so by Christmas.

I must start measuring my HE's again and throw out the lovely Diwali food our neighbour brought in so I'm not tempted!

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 15/11/2012 08:51

Really surprised at my weight loss, didn't think I would at all this week, maybe excessive eating of chocolate is the way to go!!!!

Well done everyone else.

FIVE more weigh ins till Christmas, only FIVE!!!!

FairhairedandFrustrated · 15/11/2012 08:58

You're all wee stars :)

Miss Slinky comp is running in groups this week, so if you all want to nominate someone, I don't mind doing this here :)

Whoever has the most nominations will be our winner!!!!

So could whoever wants, post their total loss, and if I get pm'd I'll post winner up later?

What do you think?

Alternatively, we can forget all about it :)

Huffpot · 15/11/2012 10:06

I think thats a great idea FHF

I've lost 1stone 4.5lbs so far

FairhairedandFrustrated · 15/11/2012 23:16

Update: lost a wee skittery half lb this week, total loss 3st 7lb only 4lb til am back at target.

An pleased with the half lb (even though dh gleefully informed me he's had shits that weighed more than that) Blush cos I did struggle on Sunday.

Would love 1.5lb this week to get me back within target range :)

I will do this!!!!

Well done huff! Anyone else???

SlimJimBra · 16/11/2012 06:22

A loss is a loss FH :)
My total loss is 3st 8.5lb - what do we do now for Miss Slinky? (sorry am
Probably being dim)
