Any exercise / walking is better than sitting on your bum. 
Went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch with some friends, had some fattening food that wasn't particularly yummy. Must have been around 2 tablespoon of oil overall. 12 syns consumed. Just like that. :cry:

I'll try to. I haven't been hungry all afternoon, haven't had any alpen bar yet today. Maybe that's the plus side of a fatty lunch... Going out for dinner at a sushi restaurant, which is relatively healthy and sw friendly! (but I will probably have some of their homemade ice-cream for dessert )

22/9 Wednesday
Breakfast: left-over tuna + mixed veg + konnyaku stir-fry
snack: raspberry + fat free yogurt, apple
lunch: dined at a Chinese restaurant near the office. had some veg and meat stir-fry with rice, but the dishes felt FAT :cry: estimate: 2 tablespoon of oil in the cooking (12 syns)
snack: apple, alpen light (half of HeB)
dinner: lots of sushi, salmon sashimi, small scoop of green tea ice cream (3 syns)
(confession: had little superfree during dinner, but I tried to eat more sf during the day so that overall I hope I've had around 1/3 sf over the day)

Just wondering, for those of you who have lost huge amount of weight, will your flesh and skin get loose and what do you do with it?
Saw this on groupon London today…Cellulite Reduction, Body Slimming & Firming treatment. I wonder if this vela-shape treatment really helps with contouring the body and reducing size of fat cells? anyone here has tried anything similar? And did it help?

Currently 99 quid instead of 450 at groupon for 3 courses for those who are interested

haha! yes there's some estimation because the dressing I have is not on the slimming world database. but it looks very low fat (it looks more like soy sauce than salad dressing! I can see no oil)
ok just got out the packaging, 13 kcal per 15g, 0g fat!! so its actually fat free!! hurray. it could even have been free!

found a link to the salad dressing!!
"non oil super dressing"
If you want to try, you can buy from Japan Centre:
http://www.japancentre.com/items/1093
While I'm talking about Japanese food, I'm re-reading this book called Why Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Japanese-Women-Dont-Get-Old/dp/0091907101/ some simple yet delicious recipes there, made with free food! (if you do EE)

Had a healthy breakfast (strawberries and blackberries with fat free yogurt), got into work, colleagues last day so some chocolate and cakes in the kitchen saying "eat me" and I did eat some.
Had 3 mini bite size brownie which is 45 calorie each, so that's around 2 syns each based on a rough rule of thumb I saw on another thread suggesting it's around 1 syn for 20 calories. Also had 2 pieces of choc... I guess it must be time of the month soon, I am craving for choc!!

Well, it proves that your gain was the exception, as your usual rule is certainly losing!
And don't think about the 80% to go: appreciate that in only 6 weeks you're 20% of the way to your target. Well done you!
