I'm the same, during the months I was off plan and working, I went to one of my local stores and the lady behind the counter (who knows me) goes `you've lost weight, I wanted to laugh (I had actually gained 3 stone), then I told her `have you seen my shopping trolley, it was packed with choccies and crisps and other junk food lol . The sad part is when I did lose I didn't hear it so much . It's strange when people notice things.

I'm going to be off mins tomorrow because I'm going to be spending the day at my aunts. It's ment to be an off plan day because she said she was going to cook for me, which means oil laden Curries. Well I decided to take charge and have cooked a meal for both of us to eat tomorrow which is SW friendly, and I will take it with me. She was a bit mad when I told her on the phone lol, but she's ok now. I just don't want to slip up, I've done so well in the week. She's bought ice cream so I'm gonna save my syns for that. The curry I made has come out gorgeous. I wanted to post a pic, but mins is still down so I can't upload. Once mins is back to normal I will post them up on Wednesday.
Anyway I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday, I'll be back day after tomorrow. Take care everyone.
Ciao xx

Hope you enjoy your day with your Aunt tomorrow, is she doing better now? And way to go for sticking to your guns and making your own SW friendly food. Hopefully your Aunt will find it just as delicious as you do.

Hi Kay , I've got the cinder toffee one and it's really nice. I don't normally have sugar in coffee but I like this a bit sweet so I use a half tsp of sweetener in a mug. Didn't know about the amaretto one - I am having that when I see it! Lurrrrve amaretto so that is for me - thanks for posting about it.Ok so I spent sometime reading my new SW magazine which I love. Some great recipe ideas and I love the section each month on the new products. Talking of which I have bought my new Beanies Irish Cream coffee from Sainsbury's. It's gorgeous ! I'm in heaven ! Yes I love it that much

I will try out the Amaretto Almond one next. They also do a Cinder Toffee flavour which I'm sure is nice but I'm not a big toffee fan. But lovely range though. I think only Sainsbury's stock them. It is advertised in this months SW mag

Restarting my dairy again ...
Hello hello, it's good to be back !
Wow can't believe its been this long. Well lots has happened, since losing 5.5 stone on SW, I went off plan for over a year and gained a couple of stone back . At the start of this year, I did a short stint of VLCD because I needed to lose some weight before my operation in March (for my back). Well I managed to lose a stone, and I had my operation, which was successful, and am now recovering at home and doing well .
I've decided to continue with SW from home and will restart in April (its probably better to get Easter out the way first ) . I have around 3 stone to lose to get to my target. Anytime this year will be good .
I've recently purchased an Actifry for myself . I've used it 3 times now. Food came out lovely but only thing is, there is an after taste of plastic and it smokes a bit when cooking and heats up real quick, don't know if thats normal because its new ? Would appreciate some feedback from anyone with an Actifry .
I've also purchased a spiralizer and have been going on youtube to checkout some recipes. Haven't used that yet, but looking forward to making some yummy zoodles .
When I start in April, I will try my best to post my foodage on here daily. I will also be doing a bit of CC on MFP, yeah the unlimited free food thing, don't work on my belly .
New Quarterly Challenge
To keep me motivated and accountable and to help others, I have started a New Quarterly Challenge which runs for 3 months, April, May June. (I have ran many challenges on mins before and thoroughly enjoy doing them ). Feel free to join in and add your names. Here is the link below:-

Lives here....
I'll come and join you on the challenge!!
I've got an actifry (and a spiralizer!!) and would say that it shouldn't A- smell or taste the food or B- smoke!! Apart from the rotary arm the hot bits are metal? I've had a couple of them over the years (read 6 or more) as they are not as hardy as they look and I paid for extended warranty. All I have ever done is rinse it before we use it for the first time and the bung the potatoes in. Take it back whilst it's under warranty and swap it.
The spiralizer is amazeballs for fancy salads and you can make courgetti (courgette spaghetti) for use on an SP day.
Right I'm popping over to the challenge...xx
