Ireland- bia- a bit of craic!

Triple B I am the worst ad for SW... I joined up this time last year and have just about lost 2 stone. The last few pounds have yoyo'd like you wouldn't believe. I'll have a decent loss, then next week I'll go the other direction. Sure, I've been in the 14st - 13st thread for most of this year (if not longer)

I've a wedding on Saturday and then I've nothing on socially til October. I am already looking forward to 1st Sept- it's a throwback to my school days and having a teacher for parent... 1st of Sept is when routine and normality return ;) So, I am doing the best I can until end of Aug, then I am going to knuckle down and be more organised for Sept. It's my birthday and anniversary in Oct, so would love to be well into 13s by then.

Thank you Miss_Taken xxx :)
 
Well done to you both. Going by how helpful and friendly you both are on here, it's well deserved xx

Sent from my phone... if I can work it properly
 
Just catching up on all the posts here and I have read all of them but things have been hectic for the last few weeks and I havent had a chance to catch up.

I won woman of the year which was a very tearful event as the week before my mam was diagnosed with very early liver cancer :cry: and you can imagine this really cheered me up (yes I did shed a few tears). Things have settled down a bit and my mother seems to be focused and seems okay which is strange because the mention of it before had her in tears for the day

I didnt progress to the next stage of the regionals because I'm too far from target but I did update my records on the slimming world website and they asked me to tell my story so I did that yesterday and I may be on that at some stage (trying to upload a photo is a bit of a nightmare at the moment though)

NewMe and Vavaness, thrilled both of ye won your woman of the year awards, I'm not surprised to be honest because you both can be a great source of encouragement and support, well done
 
Thank you all so much. I am still in shock to be honest, I really didn't expect to win.

Right I'm making note here of my action plan for Christmas (I am sorry for mentioning Christmas in August but it has to be done!! ;) )

Once my kids are back to school I need to buck up my SW ideas I have become really lazy so I need to sort that out and stock up my freezer with soup etc. Does anyone else find it getting cooler now? I'm back in my wooly pj's at night I am that cold. Was considering lighting a fire too but really should hold off until at least end of September. I have 3 lots of school books to cover so I am hoping that keeps me away from the fridge over the next few days. Anyone else going for it for Christmas? I'd love to have another 1.5 stone down by then.
 
Newme I've had fire lit the last few nights. It is definitely chilly!

I want to have at least a stone off by Christmas, I am bridesmaid in the new year and want to have my 3 stone award by then. But going by how long it's taken to get (lose, get again, lose again) my 2 stone award, I'll be pushing it! September 1st is my cut off- when I'll feel like it's the end of mucking about for the summer.
 
I have been freezing these last few days but I always think it's worse when you're losing weight? You feel the cold more or something. We're losing our insulation ladies! :p

I joined one of the Christmas challenges over in that part of the forum - you guys should join! It's kind of a good spur on when you realise how few weeks there actually are (ARGHHH!)

Has anyone here tried broghies? They are amazing! Got some in Dunnes last week and I'll deffo be buying more!
 
Absolutely I think 1st September will be a fresh start for a lot of people. l know it will be for me! I have just been a disaster all summer between holidays, gaining / losing, missing group, days off plan my list of excuses is endless!

My consultant was saying its starts getting busy again at group come September.

You are doing really well though Niamh and I have no doubt that you will have your 3 stone award by then. :)

I haven't tried broghies, what are they hun?

I have joined up to the 50lbs by Xmas challenge I will have a look and see what else I can join :)
 
They're amazing is what they are! They're corn crackers, but they're huge and only 1 syn each. They go with loads of stuff and they add a bit of crunch to what you're eating.

The packet looks like this:prod_13993.jpg

They're a bit bigger than the size of your hand and make a great base for salad or to have with fruit and yoghurt. I have been eating them with everything for a week ha!
 
thanks for posting the picture. I will pick up a pack next time I'm shopping. Could you use them as alternative to bread ?

I looked for these ages ago in Dunnes and couldn't find them :(
Heading into Galway now so I will look again. Are they near the bread section? :)
 
NewMe they're really crunchy, kind of the texture of a very thick prawn cracker. You could make a sandwich out of them but if you made it in advance then they would probably go a bit soggy depending on what the following is. I had them with my SW chile con carne and rice the other, I was trying to tell myself it was like having a taco :eek:

Vavaness they are in the bread section, but they were out on their own in a little display thing in my nearest Dunnes. It was the first time I saw them there! They were near the bagels and stuff as opposed to the sliced pans. Pricey enough at €2.99 a pack but they keep for up to 3 weeks when you open them (but my packet has only lasted a week because I ate them all!).

Thank you. I'm on the bus now so I will make it my business of looking for them. To be honest, I had given up hope of ever finding these :)
