New thread as old kept crashing mine and tits' PCs!

Thanks for that, I did think it might be something along those lines. Has anybody done any sort of detox plan or anything before starting the diet? I was meant to look into it a week or so ago but completly forgot! Was thinking along the lines of those 24 hour detox or something? But I guess that is a bit dodgy with breastfeeding?

I am really trying to up my water intake, but find it really hard. I should be drinking more with breastfeeding anyway, but when I do feel thirsty, I crave drinks like tea (sweet) and fizzy drinks. I know I can drink both on SW but the tea takes up my HE of milk and is full of sweeteners and the fizzy is lets face it - junk! And means I then don't drink water!

Is drinking squash almost as good as drinking water?

I am really hungry! I know it would be easier if my food shop had come, as we don't have any fresh fruit in, which is what I would be eating right now. A banana would be useful right now to fill a gap!

I had 2 weetabix for breakfast, so thats one of each HE gone. Was going to have a jacket potato with beans for lunch - so free and then have got chicken with cheese and bacon and veg for dinner.

Had a fry up for dinner last night - sausages, bacon, beans and egg. DH isn't here so just wanted something I can make for 1.

I don't have it yet! I will get it off my friend and put it on there, i will even put horrid fat phot as a comparison.

JennyPenny22 · 26/05/2009 10:49

I haven't been brave enough to take photos of myself - I am at my biggest now and although it would be a good insentive I just don't think I could face it!

AuntieMaggie · 26/05/2009 12:45

Hello everyone and congrats on losses and maintaining.

I hope you feel better PY.

Tits I just looked at your profile pics and am thinking WHY do you need to lose weight? [Hmm]

I have been rubbish all weekend and can't even remember what I've eaten. (Damn family who stresses me out )

Today I missed breakfast as I was too upset about family stuff and crying about the night before. Had lunch at work - jacket spud with macaroni cheese - though its more like dried macaroni as there isn't much cheese! Not great but I could've done a whole lot worse and didn't have much choice as I burnt my potatoes in the oven last night.

I started a diary on the sparkly thing but to be honest think i'll struggle to keep it up to date!

Anyway - going to cook more spuds tonight and be good the rest of the week!

MamaG · 26/05/2009 14:11

I do have a WI diary Pro, I will check now to see if they've given me a sparkly

AM hope you are feeling a bit happier now? Sorry to hear you're having a rough time

Anyone here on facebook?

If you are add me - Charlee Peters from the Portsmouth network you will see my photos and you will know why i need to loose weight!

annoyingdevil · 26/05/2009 15:20

Hi ladies, I hope everyone's enjoying half term and not being run too ragged.

Had a few slips ups over the weekend (one glass of wine too many!) But am still down a pound, so hoping I can get another off before Thursday.

Titsalina, will add you to my FB and you can see why I'm doing SW! (too shy to post photos here).

AuntieMaggie · 26/05/2009 16:15

Thank you MamaG - I am feeling better. Just need to ignore my siblings existence for a while or at least until they apologise!

Well I have been good today so far and have a healthy tea planned so fingers crossed I lose this week though my period is being weird

That is not nice not to give you a sparkly 1/2 stone!

AuntieMaggie · 26/05/2009 16:26

MamaG!!!! I didn't realise that your total weight loss is 10lbs in 3 weeks!!! Wahoooo to youuu!!!

It's hard to keep up with everyone's progress when the thread moves so fast!

The bad news is now I'm gonna stalk your food diary to see if I can do the same

Snorris · 26/05/2009 16:34

Sorry for being disappointed .

Why won't 'they' give you a sparkly sticker? I was allowed all mine although I'll probably have them removed for not posting on my food diary for 2 days! .

Titsalina - I'm on FB too, will add you (my initials are CE). You must be in my general area of the country as my network is Portsmouth too.

ProfYaffle · 26/05/2009 16:34

Sorry to hear you're having a hard time AM, hope things improve for you soon.

I've not had a great day food wise, I'm in that weird recovery period where I'm hungry but only want very specific things. In my case it's toast. Not v SW friendly but it'll have to do with my dodgy tum atm.

Tits, will look for you on fb.

ProfYaffle · 26/05/2009 16:37

I've sent you a friend request on FB Tits!

AuntieMaggie · 26/05/2009 16:42

Damn - MamaG is a veggie

JennyPenny22 · 26/05/2009 17:06

I have added you on FB too. If anybody wants to add me, am Jennifer Webb - london network

tullytwo · 26/05/2009 17:11

WI yesterday and have lost 6 lbs-first week so very pleased-makes it worth it.

Am finding it ok to be honest even though i was ill last week.

Finding I am eating the same things all the time which I am sure will get boring shortly

Must do that food diary on the sparkly place!

ProfYaffle · 26/05/2009 17:14

Oh my, there are a lot of Jennifer Webbs in London!

6lbs in one week!! That's amazing, you must be thrilled!

JennyPenny22 · 26/05/2009 18:51

My profile pic is me and my new baby in hospital. I have just searched myself. I came up first on my one, but that might be because it is me searching! I did descover though that there are 3 jennifer webbs that I have mutual friends with! Small world! Lol

JennyPenny22 · 26/05/2009 18:53

WOw, well done for 6lb loss!!! WHat have you been eating!!

Can I ask a stupid question? How many lbs are there in a stone?

TitsalinaBumsquash · 26/05/2009 19:32

Gah only 1 1/2lbs this week, gutted! I have been an angel.

Last time i did the plan i lost nearly a stone in my first 2 weeks.

I shall plod on though i supose a loss is a loss at the end of the day. Very jelous of my mum she lost 5lbs this week and got slimmer of the week.

ProfYaffle · 26/05/2009 20:05

Still can't find you Jenny, it's not come up with any pics of anyone with a baby. See if you can find me, Tracey Bennett on the London network (except I'm not in London) profile pic is horrid, dh put it up, I'm looking ropey and startled in a purple top with a tiny baby staring at me in disbelief.

"WOw, well done for 6lb loss!!! WHat have you been eating!!" - My guess is not a lot

ProfYaffle · 26/05/2009 20:06

Oh, Tits, don't start with the 'only's!! A loss is a loss!

ConnieComplaint · 26/05/2009 21:37

Oi!! Mama!! Less of the looks, right? Don't you know I'm a fighting Irish?

FYI (say that in a HSM voice!) you have to ask for the sparklys........ they don't just hand them out willy nilly ya know!! They have a specially dedicated thread n everything!!

AuntieMaggie · 26/05/2009 21:38

Had a really good day today SW wise - why is it I get to the end of the day and I've only had 8 syns but I thinking about what I can spend the remaining syns on!!!

ConnieComplaint · 26/05/2009 21:47

Prof & Jenny, I tried adding you both but I couldn't find Jenny & it wouldn't let me add you Prof!! Will try again later... or maybe once the squashed tittied one approves me, you can find me through her...I have Lisa Simpson as a profile pic!
