Ireland- bia- a bit of craic!

[starting again tomorrow]

Hi everyone- Great to see everyone doing so well- was MIA for a couple of weeks- computer died!! How you all getting on? I have been good and bad- weight going down slowly - so am happy enough- it not going up!! And can still eat rings round me- lol

 

[Kezabel]

Hi girls Can I join in here please? Started SW about 3 weeks ago and have so far lost 8lb (got my shiny half stone sticker on Tuesday!).
You girls all seem to be doing great, some fantastic weight losses! I'm having a bit of an off day today as I just want to eat rings around me Haven't given in too much though and i've only used 3 syns so far. That means I can look forward to an Alpen Light bar with a cuppa later
Look forward to chatting with you all.

Hey everyone, I just signed up to the website tonight - so am still not sure what I'll be at, but sure I suppose I'll figure it out as I go along!

I could do with losing around 4 stone, but for now, I'm aiming for one stone by the time my three month subscription is up! Am too tired to go back and check you all out tonight - but I'll go about that tomorrow!

 

[sallyannetag]

Hey guys im from Co Down! Was here last year and lost 1 stone. Its now pretty much back on again! So im back!!! Need to realistically lose about 6 stone!!!

Nice to see so many from Ireland on here.

yeah 2 st 1 lb in 13 weeks.. well actually it was 2st 2.5 lbs but i gained 1.5 lbs this week. my father in law died and it was so much hassle trying to get my husband back to turkey and i couldnt go. just stress and lived on takeaways that week..oops!!

 

[sus_murf]

I'm sorry to hear about your father in law. 2 stone though, that's inspirational! I'm not starting full scale till after the weekend - I need to get shopping and make sure I have everything I need - I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Hi to sus-murf and sallyannetag!!

Hope everyone's doing well this week end. I'm tempted to have a few drinkies tonight. I haven't used all my syns all week and could do with a night out WI not til Tuesday so I should be ok.

Oh, just a quick question for you girls. Does anyone know what the lowest syn sausages are that can be got over here? I couldn't find the Tesco healthy living cumberland in my local store and I heard they're only 1 syn I just hate wasting 2.5 syns on a sausage cos I always need at least 2, lol.

Are you anywhere near Charlestown Shopping Centre in Finglas? The butchers in there whose name totally escapes me is SW friendly. They do 1 syn sausages and they are lovely.

Thanks for that xxlisaxx I'm about 25 minutes from Finglas but a friend of mine is there every Saturday so i'll ask her to check it out for me.
WI tomorrow for me and i'm just after stuffing my face with Singapore spicy chow mein from the chinese :sigh: I was out all day and too hungry to cook when I got home. Hope it doesn't affect me too much tomorrow now. It was within my syn allowance though so fingers crossed!!

 

[sus_murf]

I love that - I do tend to beat myself up a bit about my slip ups, I don't know, it's like I expect to see results instantly when I've only just started! But I'm getting such motivation from this site - so many people just getting on with their weight loss - it's inspirational!

One quick question though - does anyone know where I would get mustard powder? Loads of recipes call for it and I haven't seen in anywhere....
