Oh yeah. I wanna be bridesmaid!!
Haha only just noticed this! And of course you can be a bridesmaid!
Been alot better on track today; porridge for breakfast and carrot and onion soup for lunch! Didnt have fruit with breakfast but hoping that because all my lunch was superfree it will balance it out!
Not trying to cheat....honest!Tonight I have planned pork, fajita seasoning, with onion, peppers, sweetcorn and noodles and broccoli and cauliflower on the side.
How are you all doing??
Sending you motivated thoughts!!!hey
well I started off good.. breakfast - special K (hex b ) raspberries, milk (hexa )
snack - yoghurt
Lunch - pasta, chicken, bacon, papper and mayo (1 syn)
Then I have in with me to eat a pear, 2 x oranges, plum, kiwi, cherries and banana lol but instead I had a penguin (5.5 syns )
dinner will be home made cottage pie and veg...
hannah tell ur other half to do one, if he give u some support it would help but dont worry to much if u go over a few syns, u need to think of the long term and we wont always stick to 15 syns a day some days we need more than others
yea tell him u wanna big rock, pick one out and see his face go grey lol
hope everyone is doing good,x .

Oh Hannah, I hope the pasta worked. Cant be bothered posting what I've eaten but its noy been too bad last few days. I have done mostly green days this week, carb hit and cheaper. im on a real pasta kick at the moment much to OH horror. he not very keen.
Im motivated by the way I look now. I hate my big wobbly stomach and the way it hangs over my jeans. I look awful in photographs too.
Got a manic weekend, someone to view the house, drinks with friends for a new year catch up and after 7 months at home I go back to work on Monday:cry:
Oh yeah and the bloody snow is back:sigh::cry::cry::tear_drop:.
Feel like ive had a good week so keeping my fingers crossed for WI on Sunday.
Hope you all have a great weekend

The pasta worked a treat! Went to the gym after work too and had a great session, really enjoying the strength training im doing too!
For dinner I made my Chicken Curry, not sure it was 1/3 superfree, but I used 1 onion, root ginger, tomato puree, spices, chicken stock, chicken, rice and mango chutney, which ive synned as 8 syns as i had about 2 and a half heaped tbsps.
The main thing which i'm really pleased with is that I cooked the two naan breads I had (normal fairly large ones - sharwoods) and I had 2 bites from one and gave it to the bf! I understand that one naan bread contains around 20 syns so im classing my two bites as 4 syns (6 syns ish is for a mini naan and I didn't have that much) I know that guestimating isn't accurate but it'ts the best I can do! Just so happy I said no to myself as I was enjoying the curry so much it didn't need the naan!!
I'm sure you can stay on track this weekend! Catch ups don't have to mean bad food and drinks! If you're eating Jacket Potato, if you're drinking diet coke??? Or is it just me that's totally addicted to diet coke?????
I hope the viewing goes well, have you found a new house to move into yet?
Let us know about Sunday, my weigh in will be at 10am, ahhh!
Sue how has your day gone??

Well done you!
Blew it today. Spent so much time cleaning the house that it was nearly 2pm when I realised I was starving. Couldn't wait for viewers to come + go + also couldnt cook anything coz of mess + smell so i ended up with a massive bowl of Branflakes + milk. Dont even know where ro begin syning it as nothing was measured.
Drinks tomorrow Is the alcoholic version of afternoon tea. Booze + cakes. Will take the car so no booze allowed + will try to resist cakes.
Good luck for tomorrow hannah. Fingers crossed for both of us

Not sure about the viewing, very hard to tell as people are always polite so you are never sure what they think. They were here for about 45mins so they didn't hate the place. We once had viewers who arived at 11am and I was sitting drinking a cup of tea, on my own, by 11.07am.
We don't have anywhere to go but think we will be happy to rent for a while. With the way the housing market is it makes more sense to us to sell our property and get the money in the bank first. We had bad experience last year where we ended up losing a lot of money because the buyers pulled out at the last minute and we had paid deposits for another place.
I have to say, I have tried a few SW cake recipies and really didnt like them. I will take some alpen bars with me, my friends are used to my weird ways. When we have our girly dinner nights I always take my own dinner along. Seems rude maybe but they seem to understand.
How are things for you baby-wise Sue? Hope you are keeping well.

WI: -2.5lbs
Well, i'm delighted with that. I never get huge losses which can be a bit depressing but hey ho a loss is a loss and thats agreat one for me.
How did you get on Hannah?
Have done menu plan which doesnt look too inspiring as im using up stuff from the freezer for dinners and pasta n sauce for lunch every day. First week back at work so I wont have time to cook this week.
Challenges for this week: Cj's 3rd birthday!!!! I need to make a cake for him for his birthday tomorrow. Seems such a waste as there will only be the 3 of us tomorrow but OH cant make the birthday party on Friday so I need to do 2 cakes:sigh:, then there will be the actual party at the end of the week with a chocolate "colin the caterpillar" cake. I LOVE this cake and will allow myself a piece, just hope I can stick to one small piece. Cake for tomorrow not a huge problem as they are usually disgusting anyway (cj has an egg allergy so the cake needs to be egg free. YUK).
Im off to have some scrambled egg for brekkie then going shopping for fruit and veg. At least it will be a cheap week at the supermarket.
Have a great week ladies, Hannah let us know how its going?

3.5lbs loss!
So pleased, back on track yay!
Kerry that's amazing well done, keep up the good work and you will definately get the 7lbs off this month!
Kerry just don't let yourself have any of the first one, you won't mind too much (especially if it doesn't taste very nice) and remember that you can have a slice of the second one later in the week!
I love pasta n sauce! Might have some in a minute actually!
I'm optimistic about this week, want to lose 3.5 again, anyone else got any targets?

I'm hoping for 2lbs off this week but going to have to be ultra careful on the superfree as its almost completely an ee week.

Had an ok day so far. Scrambled egg + toast (10 syns) for brunch. Planning spinach + ricotta pasta (hex a) for dinner. Prob havin some ryvita for hex b with cream cheese 3 syns

Aww Sue, nothing to worry about, just lots of questions. Hope it goes well. It is also normal to feel really blah in the first 3 months. I was constantly knackered. Used to take the kids to school then go back to work and have a nap on the sofa for an hour or 2 depending on how much work I had to do in the house. Ahh the easy life of a nanny.....
Afternoon was ok, I didnt eat anything or drink anything although i was very tempted with the homemade brownies.
Birthday cake not a problem as I decided not to make one. We have decided to celebrate his birthday on Friday when he has his party so only one yummy cake to deal with thank goodness. sounds cruel but im out early in the morning and hubby back late so not much of a celebration. He is too young to know the difference. Can you tell im already feeling guilty??
