DOING SW FROM HOME???

Made chips using fry light and SWEET potato. I don't even usually eat potato but they were SO GOOD.

Basically I don't ovenbake them like you do the SW chips, just in a pan of fry light til they go yellow. Left the skins on for fibre/because I couldn't be arsed taking them off. Scrummy stuff.
 
Well it's my WI day today, scales showed 13st4 which is a hell of a lot better than the 13st9!! I got on Monday! Hopefully I'll be in the 12's next week as I'm not doing anything this weekend that would make me go off plan. Plus I'm off Uni with jack and I always eat better when I'm at home x
 
Well done Charl. You'll be in the 12s soon.

I find if I weigh myself on a non WI day, scales show a much heavier number - odd!

Not that it matters cause you've decided - but I agree, skinny jeans, baggy top :D I'd love to be a 12 in bottoms! You've really done well :D

Aw Thanks Charl :D Tempted to change to chinese now as I need a bit of a binge :( Just been to see my Nannie and Grandad and it hadn't really sunk in how ill he has gotten in the last 3 months until tonight - my nannie woke him up to say happy birthday, he nodded to say he wanted to see us, smiled and turned to look at us but his head literally dropped and he fell straight back to sleep. He hasn't even got the energy to hold his head up! I got really upset and just feel horrible, and I know that doesn't mean I should turn to food, but I'm just at a '**** it' stage :( Want to cry so bad but I rarely do and I'd feel stupid for it, as my parents seem to have just accepted that he's not going to get better and are just thankful me and my siblings got to know him in the 17 years since the big stroke.

Euughh! Hate feeling emotional :( Doesn't help that my ear is still playing up so I feel sick and the whole world spins every time I move! So bloody frustrating!

Sorry for the rant! xx

So sorry to hear about your Grandad. I lost my Mum in June this year and i still have days where i feel my absolute lowest. You know what though? Just go with it. You're going to have days like this and then you'll have other days where you feel like you're ok. Try not to binge though because we all know it only makes us feel worse in the long run. Maybe have a treat that you know will cheer you up (to an extent, obviously) and then start today as a new day xxx

I'm exactly the same. I WI on a saturday and have to be strict about not weighting in the week because i always see a heavier number and it doesnt do much for my morale!

Thanks tonianne, that's definitely the way to look at it. Felt sorry for myself even after eating that food so it didn't have the calming effect I'd have liked anyway! So not worth it! :) Will still to a small treat and stay on plan next time :) xx
 
Was all prepared to come on here and admit the consequences of last night as I thought I'd gained a pound after weighing this morning, but I had lowered my previous weight in my mind to 11st6lbs, so actually I stayed the same! I am thankful for that, and I WILL start getting rid of that last 7lbs this week :) (Unless I didn't change my stats at the side? Either way, I'm going with STS!)

Off to Nandos at about 12 before we go to see Skyfall, and I promise I will stay on plan :) Going to enjoy that nandos so much! Love it :D Giving myself a flexi-syn day of 20 to account for the fact I'm going to get chips at nandos (14 syns and I know it's not worth it, but I'd rather plan for it now than get there and my willpower break down!) Rest of the day will be as syn free as possible, and I will keep rest of the week down to 10 a day. Should be easy as work experience starts on Monday (EEK!) so I'll have less time moping around home to snack on bad things :p

Hope everyone has had a good morning and enjoys there Friday :D 2nd episode of Derren Brown's apocalypse tonight! WOOP! :D xx

I saw Skyfall last saturday, really enjoyed it, so have fun :) oh and definitely enjoy your nando's! I've got a sore throat from hell so am living on soup and fruit today.
I watched last weeks episode of Apocolypse and it really scared me! My biggest fear is zombies (its ridiculous really, but its a realy fear 'kinemortephobia' or something like that!) so its probably my worst nightmare waking up to something like that! I force myself to watch things like that though to try and cure myself...it works a bit. I also watch the Walking Dead which i scream/cry throughout by i feel like i'm desensitizing myself slowly. Then the season finishes and i have to wait half a year to watch it again and by that time i'm back to my old scared self!

Enjoy you day hun x
 
Haha, I am terrified of Zombies too, but also watch all I can about them! Walking Dead literally leaves me hiding behind my hands (OMG, are you loving this new series?!?! Despite all the scary bits haha!) :D

Thanks, I definitely will try haha! x
 
Thanks ladies, really happy I haven't had a proper gain. :) no more midweek weighing, I'll stick to plan and wait until next Friday before I look again. I go up 3lbs in 1 day I've noticed! Unreal!

Have fun Laura. I LOVE the walking dead, new series is awesome too! do you watch American horror story? We're addicted to it, so good! The 2nd season just started and looks way better than the 1st

Hope you're all having a nice Friday?? Any fun weekend stuffs planned?? Xx
 
I do that too, if i weigh at night i can easily be 3-4lbs heavier than a morning! This is why i cant go to meetings, i need to weigh first thing without clothes haha.
My only weekend plan is sofa + duvet + xfactor = me :) x
 
I've started yesterday again doing it at home, although group is great for new ideas and advice but I just don't have the money. So hopefully these forums will be enough support.
 
Its really helpful, you can find most things on this forum, I went to group and actually prefer it this way, no one really talked to me at group so it wasn't so supportive whereas everyone on here is great, and we all share recipes and stuff too, so you'll do great, welcome. :)

Toni, my weekend plans are very similar, apart from going to the pictures, and bonfire night, is the only time I plan to change from my avengers jarmies! ha, god I'm lame! x
 
My group was friendly but it was a morning group and u couldn't always make it because of work. Also I know wrong have our blips I just couldn't always sympathize with those who were upset that they had a loss of two pounds when that's a good loss for me!
 
Avengers pjs?! I am super jealous! I'll have to get out of my pjs at some point because my boyf wants to go out for lunch tomorrow, but i'll get straight back in them when we get home! He's out tomorrow night so its a nice quiet one for me, will watch the fireworks from my window in the warm! Have a lovely weekend x
 
Hi all I thought I would pop in and say hello, I am returning to SW tomorrow but this time I am going it alone. Going to group is just not feasable for me at the moment, so I am hoping that this site will be a great support. I have been known to be a serial weigher lol so once I have weighed in the morning, I am taking my scales to my mums house and will leave them there and pick them up once a week for WI lol
