well done AQ!!

I have made an attempt to get back on track but slipped on a cupcake!! Apart from that im quite pleased with myself could have eaten loads of choccie today but AF is visiting and it makes me 10 times worse!! Ive sat down and re read my books tonight and am starting the extra easy plan tommo!! Fingers crossed m 1st day goes ok.
I was looking at joining slimming online but it says £60 to join but dont say if you then pay by direct debit monthly?? Thinking group on a wednesday might be what i need instead. Hope your all doing ok xxx

For the past 7 weeks I have really been struggling to follow the plan in any shape or form.

I am 25 weeks pregnant and I really need to kick myself and get my head back into it for not only myself but for my baby.

I am currently in the process of moving - don't move for a few weeks but am back and forth from my boyfriends so we can pack, measure the new house for curtains, fridgefreezer, paint etc. so for some of the week his mum is cooking and although she does try her best I am finding it really hard as when hungry I can't just make a healthy snack. I have fruit but I am having days where I could just eat it all. I guess there is just so much tempation about I am really struggling to keep myself on plan.

I keep saying to myself right tomorrow I must go back on plan but then I just don't and I can't get myself to stick to it.

Maybe I need to come up with some kind of reward system but then the reward system would fail when I have no control over what I am given. Then there is the question of what to use as a reward as can't really afford to treat myself to much at the moment and obviously don't want it to be food.

Anyone got any ideas of how to get myself back onto plan? I don't go to class anymore as I am moving soon and to be honest didn't enjoy my class and it just was costing too much.

snowy-willow take each day as you can- it makes it so much worse when someone else is cooking for you. Also i found some days i would have no cravings and then another i would eat everything sweet in sight and found i had an addiction for milk!! I think its harder being pregnant but if you put the will power in now it will pay off loads when you have the little one!! I wish id stuck to plan thru my pregnancy as now im 2 stone over my pre pregnancy weight plus what i needed to lose to start with.
Sorry went off on a tangent then- could you not politley ask if you could cook your own meals as your feeling a bit all over the place?? and so dont know what your stomach wants at the moment??

My Boyfriend's mum is very territorial when it comes to the kitchen. Nobody cooks in her kitchen but her! Doing cereal for breakfast is the closest anyone is allowed to get to using the kitchen! At christmas my bf said we would wash and his nieces and nephew could dry and you would have thought he suggested she never stepped foot in the kitchen again!

Breakfast is usually ok here as I can have weetabix with banana or just fruit. She loves cooking so never minds making something slightly different for me (although I feel very guilty!) but sometimes things creep in without her even realising.

I couldnt find taveners fruit jellies on the site, but i typed in the basic bit for the syns for fruit jellies and it said this

sweets, basic, fruit jellies, each 1 syn
sweets, basic, fruit jellies, 28g 4.5 syns

I hope this helps x

 

[catkin1508]

thanks mrstj on facebook slimming world site it said a box of the above was 2 syns for 170g because they use sweetner instead of sugar and are fat free??? might have to get the nutritional content to check!!

 

[snowy-willow]

Have managed to be really good so far today. The only syns I have had were a swedish chocolate bar called a plopp which are 6 syns. Tonight I am having mash and defrosted sausage casserole minus the sausages (was cooked without sausages in it so no fat from them) It was made by bf's mum and as far as I know there is nothing naughty in there but I have some syns left over just in case.

 

[catkin1508]

Ive had an ok week this week so hopefully i will see a lost on the scales tonight, but i have been doing the biggest losser in the wii this week and my body thinks it at the mo lol Also i have got to try and find time to make my cheesecake to take to class as its a taster evening tonight so fingers crossed the kids behave today and i can get it done x

 

[Rah]

-1 for me today was a real shock i had to check it was def a loss not a gain lol

back on track now
I have 22lb to my target of 11 stone can i do it by xmas???
1.8lb a week??? dont think i will make that too much pressure and i will fail BUT think i will try for 11stone 9 so thats my 3 1/2 stone award for xmas means i have to aim for 13lb total 1lb a week

lets see how that goes

 

[lucky3]

well done rah!!

 

[catkin1508]

well done rah- i weigh 14st 2.5lbs. im starting as if this is day one!! im aiming for 1 1/2 stone for christmas that would be amazing!! my first target is to get into the 13's!!
ive got my sons christening next week, am thinking of allowing myself say 30 syns to allow for alcohol and be good all next week so it wont throw the diet out too much!

[catkin1508]

thanka lucky i think ill be ok as the christening is at 2.30pm so i can have a massive sw lunch and breakfast so i will feel really full. We are doing the ploughmans buffet ourselves so am hoping i can sneak in a few sw bits that no one will notice like savoury rice and potato salad etc and then i wont use too many syns! Thats the plan so i can have a few drinks- i have noticed some ppl just limit there syns to 75 for the week so as long as you dont go over this your still within your allowence?/ Anyone do this??
