thanks for sharing that Karen i think sucess express sounds really doable and although it might take a wee bit more time preparing for me i think that would also be good as it will mean i need to look out my book again to update myself on all the superfree foods i can eat.......might just give it a go
great news on the pj's its just what you need to give yourself that extra boost, i had the same with a pair of jeans this week im not down i size or anything but their were too tight to wear comfortably before but now they fit nicely
fingers crossed you get a massive loss this week

heya spanx xx I had this hypnotherapist who told me to not see the fat as part of me... to see it as a seperate entity. this is because we identify closely and fondly with parts of ourselves and we shouldnt treat fat as part of our being... it'll be harder to mentally part with, thus making it harder to physically part with. so I try to see it as the opposition... something on me but seperate lol. I talk to it as a seperate being and its helping. she also said to not refer to it as 'losing weight' as we are programmed to miss things we lose (keys, people, money...etc) so think of it as 'getting rid of...' PLUS... to not call it weight as it is vague and could refer to any part of us that weighs (such as your head and liver etc lol). call it excess fat or just fat. gosh i know i sound like a loony but it is doing the trick and thats all that counts lol. So, seeing it as seperate, I can choose to be more stubborn that the fat...and can choose to 'get rid of it' and seperate myself from it. I'll be the slimmest one in the funny farm when the men in white coats finally catch up with me
Hi Karen, that's really interesting. Not sure how it fits with the Paul McKenna line of 'you have to love and value all of yourself first to be able to move forward' - but I think I can relate to what your hypnotherapist said more easily!!!
Good luck with your success express week! x

ooo a party on my thread lol. hello all xxx had a long day at work and at my mothers but home now... STARVING hungry and waiting for this veggie curry to cook.... wish i had laser vision... i'd be eating it by now! I work with mainly Muslim people on a Thursday so I havent eaten properly due to Ramadhan. Thank goodness i had a fibre plus and some grapes before i left this morning!
Kirsten has gawn ta laandaan (like me cockney brogue?) with my dad. I had probs trying to book it online today so packed her a bag 'just in case' and went to the coach station on my way to work. their systems were down so they couldnt book any tickets...agh! so I popped back in on the way back from work (at 3pm) and was able to book it. I rang and told her.. she was gobsmacked....and very excited. She is one incredibly happy bunny and couldnt believe i had kept it as a surprise. Really... I didnt tell her cos i didnt want the whinging if I couldnt get her seats on the same coaches as my dad... she left at 4.15 with a big grin on her face.
Thanks Surreygal xxx Jay is getting a lot better now he is on steriods and whatnot. I love my Tigger PJs now lol. Hope you have had a fab day too xxx
congrats on the jeans jane, it does feel great. I am loving the food thus far but it has taken a bit more preparing for me. to be honest though... I have pre-chopped everything i will need for the next couple of days so shouldnt have to worry too much until the weekend. Lemme know if u decide to do it! xxx
Heya spanx, I do like Paul. My therapist is very different... shes so mumsy and lovely. she does a lot of work with shock victims for the police and other kinds of authorities. she did a lot on my confidence and learning to accept and love myself but she was staunch on the fat being a free-loader lol. My hubby did the make you rich thing by paul and we aint rich but it is very good lol. its not just based on money... it can be channeled into any areas so i like what he does.
will pop back in a while.. i cannot think straight when all i want to do is bite the wood from the table.....

Good Morning Slimming World!
Oh my giddy stars! I am tired... all this fruit and veg isnt doing anything for my energy levels
I am working today, just until 1.30pm so will have brekky properly today and take my lunch in with me. I also remembered to take the steaks out of the freezer so thats gonna be our dinner
Hubby is very pleased with the healthy food as he has been getting more porky since he quit going to the gym in his lunch breaks and after work. Ive seen him sneaking at the scales...bless him. Speaking of which... I had a peek this morning and I havent lost an ounce. I just give an internal sigh as I know its nowt to worry about... im sure i will lose a good amount this week. Im not going to look at them again. I've decided I will take the batteries out and hand them over to Kev for hiding... Im sure I will be turning the house over looking for then on the morning of weigh-in day though lol.
Ok... today I will be uber organised! The schedule of my comsumption is:

Im missing my girl. She called lastnight just to let us know she was ok and I'll give her a call at lunchtime-ish. Im sure she will have the time of her life... being spoilt without her brothers. She never gets to do anything like this so I am sure she is taking full advantage

I have interupted my success express week to just have a normal EE day today. Im doing well with it but became fixated on having some levi roots noodles and want some homemade burger and wedges for my dinner. Not even my SW C has a full 7 days doing success express so i dont feel too bad having 1 day off it and on normal EE.
Jay had a major session of vomitting last night... i wonder if it is all the pills he is on to get over this chest infection and cold. Poor thing was really ill lastnight and I had to sleep on the sofa with him just to make sure he didnt get sick in his sleep or so he wasn't on his own... poor lad!
As a result, i am my usual knackered self. Still... we are all liking the sunshine. I just been shopping and actually enjoyed it. decided not to rush and look at lots of things i usually wouldn't... hence getting fixated on levi roots curried noodles lol. ah well.... Im enjoying my EE day.
I had a dream last night that I was taking photos of meals and posting them on here... I must be dreaming that I am capricorn... I love looking at her food and getting all drooly LOL.

scrap that... we have now decided on a homemade sheperds pie. i make it totally syn free by mashing the spuds with FF fromage frais, cracked pepper and garlic flakes. I use extra lean mince, carrots, peas, onion, tinned toms, worchester sauce, beef oxo cubes and a mix of herbs. All free on EE and very yum. we'll have greenbeans and brocolli on the side. im drooling lol
your tea sounds yummy i think ill be trying that soon hope Jay starts to feel better soon theres nothing worse when your lo's arent well.
tell me more about these levi roots noodles? i take it they must be really nice are they like supernoodles or much much better lol, im not all that keen on supernoodles anymore fo some reason??

did a flexiday yesterday as we had dinner at my mums and a good old drink in the evening. cannot have used more than 40 or so syns but have allowed myself only 5 a day for today and tomorrow to be on the safe side. was well worth it
Off to Mount Edgecombe this afternoon with the boys. Hoping to have a good walk around and work off the malibu. My girl comes back tomorrow night... yay!

sorry jane... totally overlooked your post... and yours sonya xxx The levi roots noodles are like a ready meal. they were a mild lemongrassy curry type of deal. the sauce was quite creamy otherwise the rest of the content would have been free or almost synfree. I dont think they were really worth the syns but thats with hindsight lol.

well... I would be lying if i said they were a comfy fit lol. however... i couldnt get the button and button hole within the same postcode before i started SW so I am thrilled lol.
now... heres where i confess to having had a chinese takeaway last night... I got low syn stuff for myself so that was good... BUT i had a bit of kevs stuff and i feel EXTREMELY bloated... like none of it has worked through my system. WHY??? why did i do this? I feel horrible!
We went to Mount Edgecombe and i bought the family some posh icecreams but didnt have any myself so why did i let them talk me into getting a takeaway? MIFFED!
Actually, it was funny because as I got to the end of the icecream counter with Aiden... I turned away with a big icecream cone in each hand and bumped straight into a lady from our SW session. The first words from my mouth were 'They're not mine!' hehe.
anyways... I have had 5 success express days and 2 flexi days... i think the best i can hope for tonight is a STS....
