Everyone has a fat friend... I don't want to be yours! 2013...

Im loving your jars and the memories box nettie theyre gorgeous and holly is a lucky little girl. Theyre a really great idea. You will be in a smaller size before you know it and you will be spoilt for choice. You could have a mad spending spree on a whole new wardrobe when you get to target. I know im planning on buying lots of new stuff I dont intend going back to my fat clothes lol
 
Hi Texty, thanks hun, I really enjoyed making them. I don't get my craft box out enough really. Holly cant wait to start putting her photos, certificates and stuff in it but I need to finish the sides of the box first. I hand painted the stamp of the little girl and that took me a little while, need to practice with painting a bit more.
I am kind of between sizes at the moment but slowly getting into a 20 more often. I will be so happy when I can get into an 18. I am having a day of shopping with a friend who is coming to visit from Norfolk in a few weeks and I am hoping to buy a top in an 18 so I have it to work towards. My friend had hypnosis to make her feel like she has had a gastric band and she has lost about 7 stone, she's done so well! Have you gotten into smaller sizes after losing 2 stone? x
 
Your so clever missus lol Id never be able to hand paint anything I have no artistic talent at all.

Awww its great your friend is coming to visit that will be a lovely weekend for you. When I started SW at the end of last May I was in a 16/18 depending on the make. Sometimes even the 18s in trousers were too tight. Im now in a 14 top and bottom and depending on make I have bought 2 size 12 tops even though they are generous fit its great just to say i have them.

I go away in 7 weeks and none of my holiday clothes are going to fit me, they are all 16/18's, I can now get my fist inside my bras lol so I know my bikinis are going to be hanging off me. I just dont have the money to go out and buy lots of new ones :-(
 
Morning Hun, well done on moving down sizes!!
I can't wait to start seeing a difference. It took me 21lbs to drop a size last time I did SW so still got a little way to go. I've got a size 20 top on today from asda which I haven't been able to wear for a while so I'm getting there. I'm desperate for my back and hips to get smaller!
I'm off to work in a minute, got a meeting 9:30-3:30 then got the kids parents evening meetings at 5:00. Hoping ste is going to make home made burgers for tea... Another red day, will do my food diary when I get home. Have a lovely day everyone x
 
Today's food diary: red day
Breakfast: 2 weetabix with milk and a ww yoghurt
Lunch: butternut squash and red pepper soup and a mixed fruit salad
Tea: home made burgers with added curry powder, salad and a whole meal bun
Syns: daim bar and a packet of Doritos... Oops!
 
Lol I like the oops - im having some choccy later just cant decide what lol. Yummy ive not had home made burgers for a while good idea for tomorrow :D
 
I had a very tiring day today and just had to give in to crisps and chocolate. I was on the edge of a total melt down... it was meant to be though... went to the vending machine as they were filling it up and the men didn't charge me so I got a lil freebie! lol
I feel as though I should be due a period, my tummy feels a little bloated and I feel quite emotional today too, I could eat sooo much chocolate right now!
The burgers were really nice, Ste mixed in a curry paste which is from the rogan josh recipe and they were lovely. He is going to make minted lamb burgers later in the week :)
 
Ohh I forgot to say! I had Holly and Tyler's parents evening tonight!
Tyler is in year 4 and is getting test results that are expected in year 6... although he is easily distracted and this is getting worse... funny that as mine used to say that I distracted others lol. He is well behaved and his teacher is very pleased with his progress.
Holly is doing very well, she is in year 1 and is on the top table in her class, she has gone up 5 reading levels in 6 weeks and she takes time to make sure that her hand writing is very neat, she listens well and is very well behaved.
Such a proud mummy moment :)

Awwww you have 2 talented children thats great - I was easily distracted too lol not many arent. My son was way ahead with his reading levels, hes 23 now and you never see him without a book in his hand, even when going to the loo lol. He loves his history books I bought him a really really thick one for xmas one year about Stalin - he had it read in about 4 days lol
 
Happy Tuesday Nettie :) You have every right to be proud of your children!

I too succumbed to chocolate yesterday a new coconut kitkat!!!..I'm blaming totm, as it is the only time in the whole month I crave chocolate, so it takes care of the craving and the emotions and the over whelming feeling that strikes monthly!

Loving the sound of minted lamb burgers..yum yum :)
 
Evening all... the cravings for sweet things has gone although I do feel quite bloated. Had a good day in general and food wise. Had a day to catch up on paperwork as I only had one meeting today for about an hour or so. I am on a training course tomorrow so won't get anything done.
I have had a red day today:
Breakfast: fruit salad (kiwi, apple, pineapple, water melon and strawberries)
Lunch: ham and salad (lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrot, celery, cucumber and radish) with salad cream light (2 syns)
Tea: chicken rogan josh (SW recipe) with grated cauliflower and green beans
Snacks: velvet crunch- 4 syns
2 rich tea fingers- 2 syns
Drinks: 1 litre of NAS and 3 cups of coffee

I am thinking I will STS this week, its seems to be a pattern I've got going on. I sooo want to lose another 6lbs by the end of March, this weight is coming off so blumming slowly, I hate all this palaver of losing one week, STS the next... and on and on! xx
 
its really nice, its weird to describe... it is the same texture of rice and tastes more like when cauliflower is raw more than when its boiled or steamed. It goes really well with curry due the texture and I like that it isn't as heavy as rice. Give it a go... ste just grates it and puts it in a bowl, put it in the microwave for about 4 minutes. He tried it with just one floret first in case we didn't like it. Don't cover it or put any water with it or anything x
 
I've just realised I haven't had any hex B's again! I can't fit this much food in everyday... now what am I going to eat!? I've only got the small wholemeal bread in and I can't face eating 4 slices just to get my B's in!
 
I think I'll have 2 slices later which means syning the flora light, really didn't want any more syns today after eating doritos and chocolate yesterday. Theres 7 syns in a daim, anyone know how many in a packet of doritis? The ones in the multi packs?? x

How about spraying the bread with fry light and dry frying them? Yummy and syn free
