^^Well done hun xxxx

 

[nicki01]

Well done angel that's brilliant.
I'm not feeling so tempted today, they are still all in the kitchen. The selection boxes are my daughters and my oh is slowly working through the biscuits and Chocs so hopefully they will soon be disappearing! The tins of Chocs I'm going to work in with my syns and have 1 or 2 with a cuppa in the evening!
As Thursday gets closer I'm more interested in eating good food praying I can have a not so bad result! That's today's feeling anyway lol. Who knows about tomorrow!!
Its all about my willpower ha ha!

 

[nicki01]

Anyone know how I can measure 50ml? My jug starts at 200!! I'm having beef with gravy with green beans and swede mash tonight but I've cooked the beef in my slow cooker in water so I can put my gravy on seperate but its 1 syn for 50ml?

 

[AngelUK]

Have you a kitchen scale? 50ml are roughly 50gr. Or if all fails maybe use one of the syringes that come with Calpol or similar 10 times
Hope you managed something

 

[nicki01]

Your a genius!!! I never thought to use a syringe! Perfect timing too as oh has just come home so doing it now. Thank you
He is going to think I've gone nuts when I start sucking the gravy up a syringe! Ha ha!

 

[AngelUK]

I wonder what he said when he saw you!
Since starting SW I have gotten to use a lot of OH's smaller little measuring jugs and he has a nice little kitchen scale too. I would recommend investing in those, totally worth it on SW!

 

[nicki01]

He looked really puzzled then said what an earth are you doing?
He first thought I had put some medicine in there to try and get my daughter to take it as its a nightmare trying to get my eldest to take nurofen.
She has never eaten gravy in her 4 years of life and I'm sure I could disguise it another way apart from gravy!!
It was funny! Said he had no clue what I was doing when I started squirting it onto my beef!
I think I will get some little jugs.
I'm really thinking about investing in a actifry in the new year? Who was it on here that had one?
Is it still being used alot? What can u cook in them?

Bailey I hope your ok, haven't seen you about for a little while.

 

[Katerz]

When I need small measures I use one of Lily's old bottles. My jug starts at 200ml too! Annoying

 

[AngelUK]

Oh yes the baby bottle is a good idea too! Didn't even think of that!

I have an actifry but I haven't used it in ages. Mainly cause OH doesn't like the fries from that so much but I think I will try again soon. I also want to try the ratatouille again which is again not something OH eats. Last time was not brilliant but maybe I can improve it somehow. Would be such a nice way to get lots of veggies in!

 

[Katerz]

I need to get my head back in the game....I'm sat here eating a slab of bleeding toffee aghhhhhhh!!! Don't weigh in until FRIDAY ages away it's been like a week since last weigh in. Need a weigh in to wipe the slate clean.

I'll get on it tomorrow I can do this...I can do this! Lol.

 

[AngelUK]

Some ppl in my group clearly said they were taking time off the plan till after NY and then would be back on again. But some of them had already put on 6lbs! I would be devastated at such a gain! But I don't lose as easily as others I guess.

 

[nicki01]

Ah yeh, baby bottles too! I have one of tori's left.
I also loose the weight slowly, I'm usually a lb a week so a 6lb gain would be a huge kick in the teeth! I'm getting really nervous for tomorrow now! But I want to know where I am so I can start a fresh for the new year. I really need to start doing some excercise and start to tone up but I have been telling myself for 10 weeks now and I haven't done anything!
I've no time to go to a class or gym and zero motivation and wouldn't know where to start at home with 2 kids :-/

 

[Katerz]

My friend is looking at zumba classes for us eeeek!

But I'm really interested in a hula hoop for home it looks pretty fun!

 

[AngelUK]

I am the same Nicki, no motivation at all and really no idea when I should do this. My evenings are too precious to me to go to the gym then, even if it was still open after 8.
And same goes for at home. Id feel a bit odd any way to do some exercises in the sitting room while the boys napped or something.

 

[topsy]

I should do some exercise. I am dreading weigh in on fri xxx

 

[nicki01]

Happy new year ladies
Here's to a slimmer 2015

 

[AngelUK]

Happy New Year from me too! Let's hope we really do well this year
Good luck with your weigh in today Nicki!

 

[nicki01]

Thank you. I'm eager to go tonight so I've got my starting point again. My consultant said those who attend on the 1st will get some new booklets with ways to speed up your weight loss, be nice to see what they are about.

 

[Katerz]

Happy new year!

They've made a few adjustments to the plan and knocked a few things on the head so there are new packs

I get mine tomorrow. I'm also on sticker duty giving people replacement stickies to put on their new books...everyone loves a sticky!

New years resolution is to start getting body magic stickies

 

[AngelUK]

I got my booklet already. It is an easier approach to extra easy and an additional plan that replaces Success Express and is way easier too. I have been doing it this week but so far no loss. However, AF is here so that might be why.
