DOING SW FROM HOME???

[Rosielea]

Group hug is good. I am finding it very difficult too despite being on the plan 100% i feel so big and my tummy has been mega mega bloated - never has been this big since starting the plan and my trousers too tight. I have made some changes this week but weight moving off very slow. Going to shake things up a bit this weekend by going off plan for a day - first one in many months.

How is everyone doing.

Hi Rosie

If you've changed yor diet a little that may explain the bloating hope it settles down again soon, try plenty of water, maybe with a little lemon in, or try hot water and lemon juice that can help with stomach problems..


Shaking up things can help the body gets used to the diet and knows what to expect so shocking it up gets the metabolism a little confused...

Well hubs cooked me some amazing SW friendly chips way better than the ones I make, he par boiled them the way I do but then instead of oven cooking them he dry fried them in frylight and they were lush... still feeling full glad to say, so I'm going to finish the cheese and ham I was going to have at lunch and then dinner then maybe some hot chocolate and something nice for syns....

Hi Ladies Not been online for a while as been super busy making floral arrangements for our local Christmas market as well as looking after my little ones, working part time and studying for a diploma! Busy busy busy I have found time to get back into the gym after being ill for a week and am happy to report I have lost 3.5lbs this week I am so happy

Hope everyone is ok xx

 

[ultrabluedress]

You sound super busy lately.... 3.5 pounds thats fab

Sneaky WI a day early, been on SE all week and so far only one pound off although I've been on plan all week and made sure I've stuck to syns even though they were all wine based... hoping I'll have a better loss than that by tomorrow else I'm going back to Red even though I am loving SE

Wow, well done on the big loss only me! Even more impressive as you've been so busy - it's too easy to grab convenience food when you're rushing around so much!

I'm ecstatic to report that I've lost a whopping 6lbs! Crazy! Don't quite know how I did that in four/five days! Especially since I've woken up this morning with a horrible TOTM (sorts out the mystery of aching boobs for a week and stabbing pains in my womb area sorry for TMI haha!) which I expected to make me not have lost anything cause of the bloating (and I am VERY bloated!) but YAY!

Just shows me that it really is worth exercising a little bit of willpower haha! Only 5lbs to target now

Happy Friday everyone! xx

 

[ultrabluedress]

Laura thats fantastic loss, You'll soon be at target, well done, I'm going to eat what you've eaten next week

 

[charl_young]

Well done Laura it's amazing how fast all the bloat comes off from being off plan, I've done the opposite been off plan all week and its showing a 5lbs gain, it's not a true one tho so just going to get back to plan and see how much of this bloat I can get rid of for WI next week gonna do EE for a few days to get back into it I think. Goulash for dinner yum! Xx

Well done Laura xx

With Christmas lunch in the offing, just wondering what type of meat you ladies go for? Normally I buy the frozen turkey crowns from Iceland, which are fab as I cook them from frozen, seeing as I can't see them in store at the moment I don't know whether to go for a normal turkey crown, or the turkey breast joint my Mom saw in Aldi today.

Anyone know what the difference is, we eat a lot of turkey so don't want to be running out of it, but at the same time I want it to feel festive and not just like a normal intray roast joint

 

[Laura94B]

The only thing I'd say is that turkey breast is notoriously easy to dry out, but then I've never cooked a turkey crown either, so it may be the same issue!

Thanks guys Feeling happy about the loss, but crappy in myself haha, cramps are making me so miserable!

Been out shopping with my mum and nannie, now slurping on a muller light whilst I wait for the painkillers to kick in and I'm off to make goats cheese and caramelised onion tarts! Yum

 

[tonianne]

The reason for my feeling rough today...totm has just arrived. Wonderful! Also explains my awful cravings for chocolate, am wishing the day away so i can go home to bed and wake up on my treat day!! Sure my weigh in tomorrow isnt going to be pleasant because of totm but at this moment in time i actually don't care!

 

[Laura94B]

I know how you feel Tonianne! I hope your day passes quickly so you can have some treats tomorrow x

 

[ultrabluedress]

Hope you girlies feel better soon, I just had a Mirena IUD fitted so hoping I'm not going to suffer as much as I have in the past in that department...

Not sure what I'm going to have for dinner myself now, hubs has decided he is having chip shop and crusty buns later, so I need something ready at the same to stop me nibbling, Something tasty, I wonder if I've got time to do a quick chicken and mushroom curry with spinach rice and side salad... although not sure if hubs bought the yoghurt I asked him to get yesterday... time to hit the fridge I guess.

Toni I'm WI on Saturdays too now, I think I'm going to have an extra treat or something if I actually loose it's been a long week and I just realised I haven't had any chocolate, just a couple of hot chocs....

[Jenny809]

No need to apilogise hun, if you can't have a glass of wine on a friday when can you! You've been doing so well, you can do it. I often get major cravings when I've been good for so long, I just give into them to get it out of my system!
