DOING SW FROM HOME???

Hi all and welcome Lucy! Blimey, living with my inlaws would make me go crazy so well done on surviving!! We're all living proof that sw can be done from home so hopefully you'll get on just fine. Jump on the scales now and start tomorrow!

Had a really shitty day at work. One of my residents passed away (am a nurse), obv see it a lot but it never gets easier. Then an hour later an emergency situation in the bath. Nerves were shot and needed sugar so had a cake, was a ww one so hopefully not too bad :-(

Shepherds pie again for tea, was supposed to be going running but feeling emotionally drained!!

Welcome Lucy! If you're going to start Sunday. Why not write a meal plan. I always think the key to sticking to plan is knowing what/when your going to eat. I always end up cheating when I havent planned very well. I had to do the exact same thing and I was pregnant at the time! It was awful as I was so sick all the time and only fancied certain food so I'd go buy it then go to eat and they'd eaten it all! Grr!

Oh Jen! Poor you! Hope your ok. Don't worry about exercise must take a lot of emotional energy dealing with that, so just have a nice chill with your boys.

Just realised I've only eaten a 30g bowl of special k today! So just having a vlcd soup. Dinner in a few hours too, so at least I'll be full tonight.

I did so well earlier, pesky bf came home with 2 big bars of choc, the 200g ones! And I'm on, and wanted some so bad, and he sat and ate the lot right in front of me! The absolute douche, I could have punched him. That's the 4th massive choc binge he's had this week. So i'm getting smaller and he's getting bigger!
 
Thanks hun, am ok. Am starving tho, so emotional, tired and hungry are not a good combination for me!!

Blimin men, Daren just text to say he was buying pizza and wine.....I replied NO!!

Are you less hungry now being on s&s? I think if I'd just had a bowl of cereal, I'd have passed out by now :)

No, its a dangerous combination, make yourself some comfort food thats not really cheating, I always have a jacket potato with beans, mushrooms and quorn sausages and bacon all chopped and added, with hexa cheese on top when I want comfort foods, makes me feel better and so full! WW cakes are usually quite low, about 4/5syns I think, so not too bad.

I don't know really, I think I must be a lot less hungry as usually I'm obsessed with food and what I'm eating but I just keep forgetting now. Its night time thats my worst though as I stay awake quite late usually 1ish a bit after maybe, so if I have dinner at half 6 I'm really hungry at 11. I guess the answer there is go to bed earlier!!

Oh! my holiday clothes all came today, I am definitely a size 16 now :) well apart from the odd thing, but I think thats more due to the cut and style as I'm a bit of a funny shape I'm really tall and all my height is in my torso rather than legs, so some stuff looks/fits really weirdly on me. A brighter note to this is now I'm back in topshop sizes, their tall range all fits me really well YAY! So out of 20 things I ordered I'm keeping 4! haha I'm so picky and fussy with clothes, but I kept this really nice dress, I'll link it to see if you all like it. Also my cossies all came from debenhams, and I love them! I don't look horrid, I look kinda retro and cool, I'll send u them too so u can see, amazing if you hate your tummy like me! or its been ravaged by c sections. So now I have a really small but nice wardrobe for holiday, as I figure I'll pick up bits and pieces there which will save me a fortune on holiday shopping! xx
 
That dress is really really lush! Is it quite short? Not a huge fan of my legs. Fab price too. I love the cosies but def not for my boobs!

So fab to have lovely new holiday clothes, you've done amazing, well done. I've not been in topshop for about 10 years ha :)

I had a black coffee, stopped the snacking.....for now ;-)

Thanks!!

hmm not too short no, kinda below middle of my thighs, but then again I'm tall. So maybe longer on other people, I'm a bit eeek about the big cut out bit down the back, but oh well! it's holiday and its normal to get bits out that aren't normally out. Ah my boobs are crap i'm a bcup, so stuff like that is good for me, as the proper cups ones always sag out as everyone seems to assume if your a size 16/18 you must have been boobs to!! ha!

I definitely still have a long way to go, but feeling much happier going away looking how I look now than how I did in feb!

Ah good girl! Snacks are ok, just pick the right things :) xxx
 
I've never looked at asos before, gonna check it out later, quick delivery too! I hate my E boobs, but then no-one is ever happy with what they have!

Not long til you go now, sooo exciting! How long you going for? Is it a long flight?

Aw, Jen :( well done for telling hubby no about the pizza and wine, but like Charl says - snacking is fine as long as it's the right stuff :)

Charl, absolutely love all three pieces, soo my style!! I really want both the cozzies haha! They're so lovely :) Doing CC today, and it's going quite well - better than it would have done had I tried to stick to SW completely today! Made a delicious lunch - EL philly mixed with sweet chilli sauce stuffed in a chicken breast covered with bacon medallions... YUM! Was sooo good!! I poured the juice that came out of it over my veggies and chips and it was just amazing :D Worth a try!! xx
 
thanks laura! I'm proper into lacey stuff. Just showed bf the cossies, he didn't like the polka dot one, he doesn't like red on me though, but he said it does look/fit nicely he just doesn't like the colour, I do though, and thats what matters! I got a few other nice dresses too, so have a couple of day ones and a couple of night ones, and that'll do for now, a few tops and some shorts and cossies.

I'm going for 17 nights Jen, its a long journey as we fly from heathrow and getting the train from newcastle as BA flights were really expensive and managed to get return on the train for 36quid! Have to go via abu dhabi as going with Etihad, they're supposed to be really good, I think most middle eastern airlines are pretty awesome, so hopefully it'll be nice. I've been to south africa quite a lot and thats a 2 hour + 10 hour flight so it won't be any worse than that. Takes a whole day to get there though when you factor in the time diff, we don't actually arrive until weds night. I'm so so soooo excited now! Just going to have a nice bath, and defuzz and try everything on again now I'm home on my own and can have a good look!

Whats everyones weekend plans? any good stuffs? xxx

ooo ps, laura food today sounds YUM! I had quorn sausages, tenderstem broccoli and a jacket potato, quite full now! proper food! woo! xx
 
I love lace too! Got a new lacy top, quite seethru tho, am braving it on sun - got a new blue bra to wear under it! Hubby's reaction was a good one ;-) so hopefully I'll be brave enough!!

Wow, 17 nights is fantastic! Will be quiet on here without you lol :)

Just put myfitnesspal on my phone, pretty good. Apparently I've had 1400 calories today and if I continue I'll be 5kg lighter in September, hilarious!

Feeling much better after tea, altho I did have a few bbq pretzels whilst waiting! Eek, oh well, don't care today ;-)

Ah thats great love, get your hubs to take a photo so we can all see :) No doubt I'll pop on once in a while to say hello and see how you all are, I'll be staying with bf's best mate who lives there and I'll use the net at his house, means I can skype with my boys too, so at least I can see them. xx
 
Uh oh bf dragged me to Frankie & Bennys for tea...but I wasnt that naughty so it's all good haha! I used to have a starter and a main but just had a main and no seasoned fries! Haha!
I still haven't had a drink since 2 weeks ago! Proud of myself!

Jen & Charl I've added u on FB xx
 
The only flight I've ever been on was to Aberdeen, so that kind of length of flight to get you to Thailand would kill me haha! I am a book worm though, so I am sure I'd easily pass the time with my Kindle :) Yeah, food today was defo yum! Much better than I was expecting it to be, and it's definitely going to be made again! Bet you're loving the food again! Do you think your stomach has shrunk from no food, so you'll be content with less food now?? I'd love to have that haha!! Don't think my stomach will ever shrink though ;D

Tilly, I've never been to Frankie and Benny's - what's it like in terms of navigating the SW minefield?? xx
 
Hi ladies

I'm on the count down for heading back to KL and just been having a look at what I've been doing excessive wish since back in the uk (been here since 29th July). I've run over 120km!! But I've only lost 1lb in weight!! Pity the SW diet didn't start as soon as I landed but I have missed fish and chips and Cornish pasties sooooo much!! I went a bit over board at the start......hayho. Next week or so could be tough with 17 hour flight with 2 children 4 and 1 years old....flying solo!! Jetlag is a killer for sticking to a diet but I'm really going to try my very very very best!!
 
Well on the SW website they have articles on the best n worst things to get so I ate something sonewhere in the middle! Hehe!
But considering I used to get a starter too I was extremely full after just my main! X
 
Ahh right, well well done you for sticking to just the main! :)

If any of you girls want to add me on Facebook for more moral support etc - Laura Bulloch :) I'm always on there haha! It is my next biggest obsession, next to food... ;D xx

Good luck with the flight! and getting back to plan, hey you've been on holiday so its ok, if you think about it this way, most people gain weight, so to lose and eat the things you've missed is fab. xx
