[4magpies]

Well done on the loss sor far AQ. Have a nice day at work. Speak later.

I need to be REALLY good this weekend. Weekends are usually when I slip up. I find it so easy to diet when I am at work. I may work on saturday just so I don't ruin it and I get paid over time so its win win. Lol.

Also I am unsure of how tall I am. I think I am 5ft7 or 5ft 8.... but if I am 5ft 8 I only need to be 14st dead to be under 30bmi.

I dunno how would be best to measure myself?!

You could stand with your back against a door frame and mark the top of your head with a pencil, then measure it with a measuring tape? It'll rub off easy


Well done with the loss so far AQ, fingers crossed for that extra 1lb

[4magpies]

[4magpies]

I would highly recommend slimming world.

You need to go class to do it though really. To start anyway.

[longtobeamum]

I would recommend Slimming World too. I am loving it so far. I am doing it online though haven't been to any classes. I found it very confusing to begin with, some people on here helped me, and a friend on facebook too. Now I know what I'm doing though it's easy

Just checking in, still going strong here! Really really hope to lose that 4lbs by Monday.
My sister made an amazing low calorie dessert last night, she stewed apples in a crock pot for hours with cinnamin and we had it over low fat low carb frozen yogurt.

Anybody got any ideas for some quick, tasty and syn free snacks? I really fancy something but don't know what to have? There's some mullerlight in the fridge but I don't fancy it. Don't fancy fruit either. I think I need to have somethin that makes me feel like I'm being a bit naughty. If that makes sense. What can I have? xxx


Oh, and 4magpies, I tried your keema recipe today, and it was fab! So tasty! Thanks xx

Hi guys!

Well done everyone - you're all doing really well - i was good-ish today - i had a bacon omelette - BUt its the first day ive broken my diet since starting! im blaming it on post ovulation blues lol!

Gosh lots of questions about my cyst Believe it or not it didnt hurt until it had got so big it was squishing my lungs - that was wen the docs believed i wasnt lying about not losing weight - It went quite hard overnight and started to be quite painful - i kept going to my doc and saying - i need to get into my wedding dress and im doing 150 sit ups a day with no food and im not losing weight - he didnt believe me and my mum finalkly dragged my in to the surgery poking my tummy at the doc until he sent me to hosp!

I was silly really as i just assumed i was fat and although a size 12 after surgery i had always been a 16-18 so used to a big tummy if you get me!

What made me laugh was the consultant afterwards said - the best thing to do is get pregnant!! - that was 6 years ago now! and we'd been ntnp for 4 years before that!! I spose the lesson to be learnt is 'pay attention to your body ladies'!!! Incidentally - ive put 2 stone back on since which is why my bmi is still poxy 31.4 arrrggghhh - the stress of my ectopic and losing my absoloute treasure and baby replacement of a dog, really young to cancer -within the same week sort of had me a bit depressed for a while there ......but im positive again now and im gonna lose this weight and have my ivf dammit!!!!


Ps welcome new folk - this thread is great!!(although you prob think im a nutter!!)

 

[lornapj83]

how much is slimming world online ??

 

[africaqueen]

Longtobeamum- i just had a dish of cheesy tuna pasta cos made it for work 2moz and couldnt resist. lol. I make the syn free rice pudding with a little milk and water and add sweetener and nutmeg and its lush ;-) Also a few slices of ham spread with a laughin cow cheese and rolled up with cucumber in is lovely and feels naughty but its not

Lorna - Slimming world online is £60 for 3 months. I paid the extra £5 for the magazines, I think I get 7 sent across 12 months. It sounds alot but it works out at £5 a week, which I think is the same amount as it costs to go to a meeting. There is alot of support on here, and if you know anybody else doing it who can help you, that is a big help. You can private message me on here if you want to know anything, and I will always try to help


Thanks Africanqueen. Gonna hunt the recipe down. I ended up using 2 slices of toast from my HEB with a 1/2 tbsp of nutella on each, an counted the 4 syns. Feel really naughty now.
