Yeah I know what you mean - you know you can always make excuses to yourself, but you wouldn't do it to others who are relying on you! Also - yay for the badge

Hello everyone and a very Happy New Year to you all.
I'm feeling ultra chirpy this morning (lol- only woke up 2 hours ago so still feels like morning! Tut!)
I can't wait for normality. Don't get me wrong, I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas and Twixmas was full of festivities too. But now that it is officially a New Year I feel excited to get back on it. And do you know what, it doesn't feel so overwhelming because its not "New Year, New Start". I already know I can do it because I started 11 weeks ago and I saw results. What a relief. How lucky are we that we found the plan in 2013? Gosh I sound like a member of a cult or something.
Ok, enough rambling. I now want to sort my confused thoughts onto this page.
It is Thursday 2nd January. I turn 25 on Tuesday 21st January. So I have a little under 2 weeks to secure a fab weight loss, but more importantly my confidence.
I lost 10lbs in 10 weeks, gained 2lbs the 11th week and expect to gain at least 1lb today the 12th week. That is a total loss of 7lbs.
I planned to lose 15lbs by my birthday (well, 22nd Jan) so I have 3 more weigh ins after tonight.
I know I can lose 2.5lbs in one week if I try hard, and tend to lose 1lb a week on average.
Soooo if all goes to plan I could lose 2.5lb, 1lb & 1lb and be 11.5lbs lighter by my 25th birthday, which is only a few pounds off my original birthday weight loss target and a MASSIVE achievement.
I am going to do this by:-
Sticking to plan.
Using the support found on minimins
Being organised
By sticking to plan I mean:-
count all of my syns and stay within them (instead of going over with vodka each week!)
cooking some fab recipes with loads of veggies (I'd like to make at least one recipe from the calendar)
:wow:- it feels soooo good to have that all written down. Phew.
BRING IT ON!!!

Food Diary
2x 400g wholemeal slices (HeB), peanut butter (4.5 syns), plum tomatoes
buttermint tea
Speed soup
mullerlight
pasta with passata, onions, courgette, peppers and cherry toms. cheese (HeA)
2 clementines
Daily syns:- 4.5/15
Day 1
Weekly syns:- 4.5/105
Very pleased to report a STS this evening. That means I gained 2lbs over the Christmas/ NY period, which my consultant swears are the 2 most difficult weeks of the year for slimmers!
I would still like to lose 2lb, 1lb, 1lb which would leave me 4lbs off my birthday target. I can defo deal with that.
Group was sparse tonight and the pay lady wasn't in so I had to do it!! It was really good actually, its strange because I was thinking today- "what if I have to do pay today", as we did go through it at the consultants on Sunday.
I also won the raffle for the first time- passata and pasta- well chuffed!
Here's a chuffed selfie with my Social Team badge

Oh Katie, you must try it! It's amazing and helps with the bloat. Lickthelid introduced it to me a while back but I was like "eurghhh I don't like mint" (I feel its for cleaning ones teeth, not for eating.) Anyway its by Twinings and its delish. I would never try pure peppermint- yuk! Butter Mint Sensation: Twinings Herbal Sensations
Don't you go retaining all this magical water Sheila!
Thank you and fingers crossed for us all this month :fingerscrossed:

Thoughts on Green Days
I don't eat meat, but I do eat fish.
Last night someone at group suggest I try SW's "Green Days". I did some reading on it but feel nervous as the only changes I will really be making is upping my HeA & B. This means less room in my tum for free and superfree food and more chance to put on weight.
Theoretically I could eat 60g cheddar and 4 slices of 400g loaf?! EVERY DAY?! Hmm...I think not.
I might see if I can give it a go today. I think I will only have 1 HeA and make my 2nd HeB nuts or pulses or something like that with protein and benefits- rather than eat 4 alpen bars for example!
The woman who suggested it said I would actually lose better- as in more and/or more quickly.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated...

The Joys of turning 25
I had my first birthday present today.
A smear test.
It wasn't pleasant. I feel sorry for myself and I want a massive veggie burger with chips and a vanilla milkshake from Burger King.
I've had pasta and salad instead.

Friday night binge
Morning all!
Can't believe how many visitors I've had
Unfortunately I'm full of s**t. Both in the colloquial and literal sense.
I wouldn't know where to begin trying to syn last nights antics.
It started with a vodka and fanta fruit twist, how did it end up like this? (Mr. Brightside)
Then:-
vodka diet coke
double vodka diet coke
salt and vinegar McCoys
veggie bean chimichanga with mexican rice and black beans
churros with toffee sauce and vanilla bean ice-cream
2 cocktails
4 double vodka diet cokes
butternut squash risotto (?) (at least it wasn't chips?!)
There was not a moment where I considered SW or the plan. Yesterday was only day 2 for Pete's sake (who is Pete?!)
Ok- back on it today.

4 days is plenty to turn it all around, good luck And keep coming back here if you need a kick up the ass!!
PS, I actually just googled "Who is Pete" and apparently it's St Peter, from back in the day when people didn't swear as such, and instead cursed using the names of religious figures... I had hoped for something more exciting!!
