Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

Yay, well done on the losses ladies & yes another 100% week again for you chicks please lol!

Some weeks I know Im not going to have a good WI even tho I've been 100% on plan & guess what I was right.....can you believe a 3lb gain hahahahaha!!!
I have to laugh at it, as I've been at this a long time & just have to ignore it or I'd go potty!
I could super analyse it & wander if its........ did I have too many syns I had 104, sat around too much this week as felt lazy, too many carbs as had mainly Green/EE days, didn't eat enough & calories too low, bunged up coz been on codeine, or its my b***** hormones & water retention lol! Probably a combo of all!
My friend has also cancelled her party for tomorrow as she isn't well, so all in all not a good start to the day as was really looking forward to it.
Never mind, life's too short to be stressing, so Im going to measure myself in a bit to see if the tape measure will be kind to me!

see Kim the best thing about today and your extremely weird gain....is your attitude!! to have a mindset like that is great. i know it would scunner me and i would reach for the wine. its knowing that others take the scales for what they are...a mere number..which helps.
i have heard codine affecting others. are you still drinking loads water? its you guys i come to for advice so don't have much to offer. would say its the hormones though!!
why don't you have night with some drinks as planned or take you and other half out?

Aaw thanks Deb, you always say such lovely things. Always drink loads, so Im blaming the hormones/bunged up lol!
Well, DH thinks Im a witch as I can always second guess him.......I texted him to see if he fancied going out for dinner tonight as our friend had cancelled her party & he rang to say his work colleague & him had discussed covering each other & he was going to surprise me & take me out for dinner & a few DRINKIES tonight......spooky!!! So, there is always a silver lining & its a Billy Bonus that DH can have a few drinkies as well......happy bunny now :D. Thats spooky you said the same thing as well Deb!!!!!!
Haven't had a drink since NY eve, so better take it easy lol!
 
best to weigh the chow mein first. am sure it is something like 380g for 7 syns?

I've weighed the food from there before and last time they weren't much over the slimming world recomendations... if I get round to putting the batteries in my new scales I will weigh it.... but even if I do I'll probably eat the whole lot. Going to count 8.5 for 380 as its not a straight forward chow mein, don't know if that makes a difference but we'll see. I'm thinking of being a piggy and making some slimming world chips to go with it (boyfriend will have some of little ones chips I think, our Chinese is also a fish and chip shop which is perfect as it means we can order little one sausage, chips and a roll as a treat for him) in fact I def will and then I'm more likely to have 380g and offer my boyfriend the rest so he can try it. I'm actually really looking forward to it :) haven't had take-away in ages and its been even longer since I've had on plan take-away. I love Chinese.

Just measured & I've lost another 7cm since I last measured 2 months ago & amazingly I've lost 73cm since Jan '12!!!!!

I love your attitude, your absolutely right!
Fingers crossed we're all heading for losses next week :)

well done on the inch loss that's amazing, I really need to measure myself but worry as I'm small now that I'm not really going to see any difference and be disappointed but your small as well and that's a great difference :)


Don't feel like I've stopped today, luckily boyfriend sorted little one's breakfast but I got up, showered and dressed, did his packed lunch (I now have to cut off his crusts otherwise he say's he's left the crusts and when you look he's actually only taken two or 3 bites out of the whole sandwich, cheeky) got my breakfast, got him ready off to school to do the library for the little one's, home and sorted my lunch as straight from work I'm going to my nanna's with my sister. I feel like I've earned this take-away tonight haha.

Looking forward to going to my Nanna's but it may be a little awkward, my cousin took an over dose the beginning of the week, I only found out the other day, but not sure how much everyone else knows (my Nanna and sister) everyone seems to know different bits and different amounts so don't want to let anything slip that I shouldn't :/ She's still in hospital as well (It happened between Sunday and Tuesday not sure exactly when... think it was Monday) so its not really straight forward, I always thought they'd pump your stomach and you were sent on your way.

Oh and disappointed about how my knittings coming along, was hoping I'd have something to show Nanna, but I don't :( will explain to her where I'm having trouble though and hopefully she'll be able to help. (she can't show me as she stopped years ago when she got arthritis in her hands) but might be able to tell me. In fact I'm happy for any advice, once I get to my 3rd or 4th row my stitches are so tight I struggle getting the needle under to do any-more stitches? Do I need to try and make them ridiculously loose and work further down the needle? I'm actually finding the knitting easier then I thought, other then that... I just can't get anywhere because of it. (I'm picking hobbies that are just giving me grief aren't I lol)
 
Oooo have fun tonight Kim :) I'd love a glass of red with my take-away but I'm sticking to 100% 5-15 syns a day this week and also we only have big bottles in and I wouldn't stop at one glass haha.... might have to invest in some little one glass bottles when I see them in home bargains for things like this and mothers day, mums running that half marathon that I'm planning on doing so we decided to just take it easy, after the half marathon I'll come home and get ready spend some time with little one then later we're going to my mums for a take-away and I'm going to make coffee and baileys cake, would be lovely to have some red wine but I wouldn't want my mum to have to open a bottle just for me as I would only want one glass I think (maybe haha) sorry I'm rambling, my point is have a good time
 
Thanks Donna, I intend to have a good time. DH & I are getting very fed up being apart during the week now as we're normally like 2 peas in a pod, so its not good for us. So, it will be lovely to just go out & chill for the evening.Not sure what meal to go for tho & dont know what I fancy......whatever tho, it will be an off plan day as dont get many opportunities like this so am grabbing it!
Enjoy your take away tonight, as they always taste better when you dont have them that often & good for you sticking within your syns.
Ref your cousin & OD.....it depends what she took as a lot of drugs can affect the liver & she may have to have a certain drug to flush it out of her system & she may also need a psych consult.
With the knitting, its just practice to get your tension right. Just try & keep the wool loose & not too tight....easier said than done lol!
 
You do right, I'm sort of off plan for his Birthday, going to try and be good at the buffet but then have whatever pudding I want... will have a few extra's at the buffet but then not go crazy. Then the following week we're meeting friends and going to York to a viking thing and then to Leeds for a meal so that will be off plan as we haven't seen them in ages and its a bit of a thing for my boyfriend and his friends Birthday as well... we need to have off plan days every so often, make the most of the good times :) I think we've earnt it with all the hard work we put in to be honest ;)

Yeah my plan is just to keep practising, I'll get there in the end.

I am worried about her, by the sounds of it she took everything she could get her hands on. But without going into details, her reasons for doing it were very silly, like no depression or bullying or even a break up ect. you wouldn't believe her reason if I told you actually :/ so although I'm worried about her and really praying she's okay, I just can't help but think what a silly little girl she's been. (I know that's horrible and I shouldn't think it) I just hope she's home soon.
 
spooky Kim lol great minds think alike. i agree with you and donna..if you can't have a night off every now and again it would drive you crazy. i know i need to do it but until i want to i am happy following plan. makes me resentful if i felt i couldn't enjoy myself.
Kim have you and hubby always lived like this and is it long term?

Think it does your metabolism some good as well having a day or so off plan lol! I looked back thru my diary & about 3 weeks ago I had a whole weekend off plan & lost a pound the following Friday! Doesn't make any sense really lol! Thats why Im not stressin about it, as its bound to be my hormones!
No, we haven't always been weekend lovers lol! He got drafted in September '11, but back again to work locally this September. Only down side, will be the food bill will go up again lol!

well done on the tape measure results too. Thats not so bad, roll on Sept. My OH worked away my full pregnancy - was quite good haha

i bought some wine - not even sure why as i am not really in the mood. Havent been for few weeks but wanted a change to my nights. Not sure i can handle the 27 syns but will see. Taking a leaf out of the "we only live once book" ;o)
 
That's an amazing amount of inches to lose. Well done!! :)

My bf was going through old pictures and came across one of my fat pics. I realised that the top I'm wearing in it that was always really tight and hard to fit into and that I still had it. I tried it on and it's basically a dress lol

Makes for a good motivation pic for myself to keep plodding along lol
 
Love motivation pics, I barely have any as they quickly got deleted or I was hiding behind someone or something... can't believe how long I let it go on for when I was obviously miserable, sounds daft but although I knew how to hide how fat I was in photo's or deleted others, I'd convinced myself I wasn't that big but I wasn't photogenic and camera's made me look bigger ect... same as how I'd tricked myself into thinking my clothes weren't too tight because I was bigger but because they'd shrunk and sizes in shops were getting smaller. It's very hard to admit to yourself that you've gained weight isn't it...
 
Donna I was the exact same. I didn't ever fat pic I knew I had. And believed I was alot smaller than what I was. X
 
I have some somewhere, could post, I think I might have done in the past actually, you might be fed up of seeing me haha :p


Would be interesting to see everyones though. Also a reminder to ourselves how far we've come :)


Boyfriend has gone for the Chinese, we need to eat early because of little one. I have my chips in the oven and also threw in some garlic mushrooms so I'm getting some more superfree in there :) going to be stuffed with all that!

That's exactly like me. I was always 7.10 and felt fat lol

Then I moved in with bf and gained 3 stone. I struggled to lose 2 stone of it and then got pregnant and gained a further 4 stone. And stayed like that close to a year after baby was born and from then I've been trying to get back to the 7:10
