Mammyjo - that's brilliant - well done there's something about 2lbs that makes doing the diet worthwhile, I suppose its realistic and sustainable.

Lilibet - I looked in WW book, and to give you an idea, cooked pasta 150g is 2 points, and uncooked pasta 40g is also 2.

After my weekend definately off that wagon, I have done pretty well this week. DH is late back tonight so I am resisting the urge to just eat cheese, I've had loads of vegetables, but I had two glasses of wine yesterday night, so who knows?

With SW I'm not very good at calculating syns or writing down so I'm sure my little britain slimming world leader will tell me off either way.

Ags · 08/04/2008 21:01

Hi all. Well done Mammyjo! You must be feeling great.

I had my meeting today and lost 3.5 lbs. I was delighted. That is 37.5 lbs so far so I really feel like I am getting places. I still have a long way to go but am feeling really excited about how things are going.

Just want to ask everyone to check the list of your weight losses as the latest list posted does not contain my last week's loss. Again!

Well done everyone

I'm back on track. Well, sort of

Have done well today and within points despite having several portions of lemon drizzle cake

I didnt have lunch or breakfast though - just because of the way the day unfolded. I just had bananas and cereal bars etc. Then I earned 4 points of exercise doing some digging on my allotment!

If I'd had lunch or breakfast I'd have been scuppered when I got home. My very lovely new neighbour, who when talking to her last week and my mentioning that her cooking smelled lovely the other day, brought me round some lamb biryani . It was delicious.

moodlumthehoodlum · 08/04/2008 22:09

i adore lamb biryani.

Ags · 08/04/2008 22:25

I have never had lamb biryani. I am a bit of an Indian food lightweight (ironically)! Baltis and Tikkas for me.

Well done being back on track VVV. I love Lemon Drizzle cake. Mmmmm.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/04/2008 12:49

congratulations to all

How is the lovely cadbury, fio? Havent seen her for AGES.

loler · 09/04/2008 12:49

Wow - feeling very enthused after all the goo reports (Ags 37.5lbs is amazing!). I need to do another 3lb to get to my 10% - looks like I could actually make it.

Begining to look past that now and thinking I could lose more - I think I'm going to aim for 11st which is the top of the healthy weight BMI. That's another 20lbs and total of 40lbs. Oh - that sounds like a lot! What is everyone else aiming for?

Ags · 09/04/2008 12:55

Well done Fio and Short! Stupid leader Fio to not notice 10%. I hate that. Had to remind my leader to give me a silver seven yesterday. I hate doing that as I think I sound like a child but I NEED IT!

And in the same vein.... Sorry to be a pain, but everyone still keep posting a list which only shows my weight loss up to 3 weeks ago. I have updated myself again on here. It gives me a fright everytime I see it as I think I am in a timewarp and have gained 5 and a half pounds!

3lb in my first week - not bad at all

I had 4 points over for the whole week, which I thought was pretty good. Next week should be better as I will try and drink less.

When do you drop down from 20 to 18 points a day?

lilibet · 09/04/2008 13:21

thanks moodlum

Ags · 09/04/2008 13:51

Yeah! Well done Lilibet. Fabulous loss. It is very encouraging to get off to such a great start.

ShortandSweet · 09/04/2008 14:07

Lilibet well done. For every stone you lose you have to drop a point.

moodlumthehoodlum · 09/04/2008 20:30

I've just been onto WW online, and its a registration fee of.. wait for it... £30.

I'm not doing slimming world very well, but I am being really good about what I eat, so I think that I want to go back to WW. But there are no meetings convenient to me atm, so online would be the perfect middle ground, now I've decided that I really am serious about losing weight. But £30 seems a lot? Or is it just me?

lilibet · 09/04/2008 21:00

moodlum - I can find you a £10 off voucher adn if yyou go through quidco you get £15 cash back

I'll have to do it later tho' as the Apprentice is on now - sorry

moodlumthehoodlum · 09/04/2008 22:43

Thanks lilibet . I've seen some vouchers for a £5 off a month's membership, but will deffo try quidco.

lilibet · 10/04/2008 09:05

I found my money off code here

so using that and going through quidco makes it super cheap

lilibet · 10/04/2008 13:44

Someone has brought home made lemon drizzle cake into work and it looks gorgeous

You take the lid off the tin and the smell is divine

I am drooling on my keyboard

fedda · 10/04/2008 14:25

I'm afraid that happens. Try to be strong,
lilibet. My friend's mum had a wonderful figure but she used to have cakes brought to work and she couldn't resist them. The result wasn't pleasing for her. Don't open the lid, okay? Good luck.

loler · 10/04/2008 16:12

Did you have any?

I want lemon drizzle cake!

loler · 10/04/2008 16:38

Having a shite day, chocolate, cream egg (frozen yum),chocolate miniroll, packet of wheat crunchies, trying to drag myself away from a buttery crumpet.

If there was lemon drizzle cake here it wouldn't last for long!
