Hi Girls

How are you all? Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. I’ve just been reading over your posts, and I can’t believe I didn’t congratulate you Elm on your loss so far! *Bad Bella! That’s such a good loss. I always find it difficult to notice my own weight loss though so don’t be hard on yourself, you’re doing so well. J

Kassy, thanks for the blog compliments! Glad you like it. I’d really like to make writing a full time job and that’s my plan this year which is why I’m focusing on it. I just need to try and get more people to read it.

Karen, yes I write it myself, have been doing it for nearly a few months now and really enjoy it. Well done on your weight loss too, that’s fantastic! I don’t think you need to worry about finding that willpower because it looks to me like you’ve found it!

Viva, you’re doing so well with your walking. 60 miles is incredible. Keep up the good work.

Well I had a lovely weekend, CDWM was great. We had home made hummus and carrot sticks to nibble on when we arrived. For starters we had grilled halloumi cheese on a bed of salad with roasted peppers and chilli. We also had a homemade dressing of balsamic vinegar, dried chilli, garlic and lemon juice. The cheese was low fat too! Our main course was Moroccan Lamb Stew with Cous Cous and Salad and desert was baked New York Cheesecake. (The biscuits were low fat too!!) I didn’t have much desert but I couldn’t pass it up! It was such a good night! It's my housemate's turn next and she's doing a Mexican theme which will be in a few weeks so will keep you updated! I'm planning on doing a Bollywood theme, but might change it and stick to my roots and do a South African night instead!

Last night was also brilliant! It was my mates 30th so it was girl’s night out in town. It was such a good night. Me and my sister brought her a Gucci bracelet and she got so emotional. We all grew up together and then shared a house for nearly two years so we’re all like sisters really. She cried, which of course, got us teary eyed, but after a few drinks we were laughing away! It was so much fun and I got home about 4am this morning so I’m feeling a bit tired now! I’ve attached some photos for you all to look at. The first is me with my sister Suzy. Then there's a couple of me and the last two are of me and my girls: Fran, Bex (the birthday girl), me and Suzy. The last pic is hilarious because we were trying to do self portraits and couldn't do it and we were laughing so much about it so my sister picked up the camera and accidently took a picture of us all and caught the moment perfectly! Love that one so much!


Well it's weigh in tomorrow morning so I'll update you all with my results!


Bells xx

P.S me and my housemate made Spinach and Mushroom Canneloni tonight from the new Slimming World Mag that's currently out and it was lush! Definitely worth trying it out! xx

Morning girls - just to let you know I've weighed in and lost 3lbs this week which I'm very pleased about given my boozy weekend! Roll on week 2 :) xx
 
Morning campers

Hope you have all had a great weekend.

Bella - Looks like you had a blast. Those pics are fab. You have the most lovley skin dont you :) Loving your hair doo too. Thats a great loss. Bet you are buzzing. Such a great start. Defo stick at the wrighting, you really do have a natural flare for it. YOur CDWM night sounds halish. That food made my mouth drool. I might have to suggest to my gorls to start doing that. Such a good idea.

Bin - Bet you have been having withdrawls from the footy hehe.

Karen - Snap! I lurve my takeaways too. I'm bang into Calzonies at the moment. Ever since I started watching that Man V Food (has anyone else seen it?).

Diva - My gosh, 60 miles is loads. Mega well done.

Hiya Stacey, Elm and Flutterby :)

I had a great weekend too girls. Town on Saturday night was great but I swear, I cant drink like I sued too since I have lost the weight and cut down my drinking to once a week. The Adonis was sneakily buying me cokes at the end rather then vod and coke coz I was hammered. His mate got a video of me talking a load of randon stuff and doing silly dances. Its well funny.

Ended up with the munchies yesterday like (as you do when you are hungover) so I had a day off my diet but it was a well deserved day off as I have lost 6lb in 2 weeks so am pleased with that. Down to 11.8. Back on the wagon today after eatying everything in sight yesterday.

The house is a tip so tonight am gonna do some much needed tidying and cleaning then get back to the gym tomorow. Went 3 times last week and gonna aim for 4 this week.

Speak again soon girlies xxxx
 
Ah, thanks Kassy! I'm feeling really good today and my housemate started SW this morning too so were helping each other which is great for me as its keeping me focused. I get a lot of compliments about my skin, must just be quite lucky I think coz I'm a bit slack when it comes to my beauty routine!!!

Sounds like you had a great night too...hope the hangover wasn't too bad yesterday!! I'm feeling so tired today so going to give gym a miss and have an early night! Xx

Happy Monday :) I think I'm the only person I know of that loves Monday's!

Hope you all had a good weekend, bit boozy for some of you by the sounds of things!

Bella, love the pics, you all look like your having such fun! The CDWM evenings are such a good idea, do you secretly score each other? Lol you should do a write up on your blog about CDWM girlie evenings. Oh and my cousin was actualy on the programme, he said it was laugh but that they there till about 2 in the morning, and they also give them subjects to talk about ect... It was fun to watch him we were all so excited!

I had a very chilled weekend, full of good food though, Chinese buffet eeeek!
And nice roast, cooked by my friend, was lovely.
I had time on my hands as I'm got a virus, didn't stop me eating though :( so I had a browse through some of your posts and diaries. I also checked out the success stories section, wow!!! Some amazing people on there.

Kassy I read you want to visit Las Vagas, I had an Elvis wedding in vagas, such good fun ;)

Stacey have you had the date yet?

Hope the rest of you girls are doing well and had a good weekend.

Diva x
 
Hi Karen, it was a great night. I'm still laughing about it now! You read my mind re the blog because I've already started my first write up of CDWM! I'm debating whether to do 3 seperate articles or wait til we've all done it and do one piece. That's so cool your cousin was on the show - was it a recent series he was on? I'd love to go on it. Sounds like you had a nice weekend, are you feeling better now? I like reading the success stories too, they're so inspiring!

Viva - well done on your loss, keep up the good work! How's the playlist coming along? Have you added some more tunes now?

Hope everyone else is having a good day xx
 
Evening lovelies! :)

Sorry I haven't updated here in a while - it's been a really busy couple of days!

I spent today at work, and have been busy sorting out paperwork etc at home tonight. But I have got near enough everything I wanted to do tonight done! :) Result! lol

I'm using my birthday money to buy some new furniture for my bedroom tomorrow - I desperately need more storage space, so that's what I'm buying myself :) Hardly the most exciting thing I can spend my money on right? lol

Anyhoo, to respond to all your posts :D

Karen - not yet, it's supposed to be this weekend, but he has been sick for the past few days, so I may suggest moving it to next weekend if he's still not feeling great! Nothing worse than not feeling 100% on a date is there?

Bella - Sounds like you had a great weekend! :) I'm jealous! lol And well done on the loss this week :D

Kassy - Sounds like you also had a great weekend! And well done to you too on the weight loss :)

Karen - poor you with your virus! I hope you are feeling better now? There's still lots of bugs going round just now!

Hi to bin, flutterby, elm and Diva - I hope you ladies are all doing ok too :)

Anyhoo, I think I'm almost done for the night, so will head off and get to bed soon!

Have a good Tuesday everyone :) xxxx
 
Hiya peeps

Why is it (and tell me if its just me) after a spell of being so good do you fall right off the wagon and feel like you have undone 2 eeks of hard work in 2 days???? I had my day off diet on Sunday but we ended up being naughty las night and its left me feeling a tad anxious. I'm just gonna have to suck it up though and be extra good these next few days to compensate. But its weird how bd I feel for having 2 days off. I think I will rlax more once I am down to my overall target. I cant continue going round in circles losing and gaining this same half a stone anymore. I need to focus hader! Back in the game today though and back to that gym tonight.

Rant over .

Karen, thats awsome that your cuz was in CDWM. I love that programme so much. The bloke who does the commentating is so funny. How did your cuzdo when he was in it? Hope you feeling better too.

Bella - you should apply to go on. That would be mint! Look forward to reading about your blog about your CDWM girly nites. You getting back to the gym tonight too?

Viva - Tell you wnat really gets me going for a work out - some hard dance music. They are playing Floorfillers 2011 at our gym at the mo and its great. Anything with a fast beat and a bit of boom boom really gets them legs working hehe. Have you hears of a CD called "Running Trax" as that is supposed o be good and I bet you can get it dead cheap off ebay. And hey, a pund and a bit loss is another step in the right direction so thats great. You will defo hit your 7lb target. Woop woop.

Stacey - You a busy little bee again. Poor new bit fluff not feeling well. Yeah, probs best to postpone date till he better, plus you dont want to catch it when you smooooooch him hehehehe.

Hiya to the rest of you and hope yous are well.

I have decided on the colour scheme for my wedding and have opted for lilac and have already defo picked my bridesmaid dresses (as they are perfect for the UK or abroad). I am having 2 older bridesmaids (my best friends Anna and Rach) and 4 young bridesmaids (all under 10). Pics below. Also a pic of the dress I think I am gonna go for if we get marries abroad. If we get married in the UK I will probally opt for something else though but the dress I found is ideal for a beach wedding. YOu will have to let me know your thoughts.

They are beautiful Kassy, congrats on your big news xx have just spent a few days getting up to speed with everyone after going AWOL (sorry)

Everyone sounds well on track at the mo. 2 days off plan is nothing and you can pull it back at the gym.
Stacy and Bella it's great to hear you so positive.

Flutterby - the stress of teaching never gets easier, just changes as different things happen. Believe me I've been doing it for 16 years. Listen to the docs and make sure you male time for you.

Diva - can't believe the amount of walking- you'll need new trainers soon your's will be smoking.

Bin hope everything is going well and you have some concerts lined up.

Hello to all the newbies who have joined while I've been away.
Love and big hugs to everyone xxxx
 
Kassy I absolutely love that wedding dress!!! Actually all those dresses are lovely, and a great colour scheme too :) xxx

Kassy, dresses are stunning :)

Busy busy day, hope your all good, or being good!? I've lost the plot, TOTM, always happens.

My cousin came 2nd on come dine, it was about a year ago. He said it was knackering, really late nights, but he enjoyed it.

Just eaten a cream cake... Oooops, why do I do these things, mad isn't it.

Have a good evening ladies, BB later, it was crazy last night! Lol x

Hello ladies, glad you're all well. Haven't posted for a while, been a crazy time with uni, parents just general stresses. Been a bit poo lately. Made the decision to stop slimming world as it just isn't for me. Any tips of what I should try doing??

Kassy stunning dress! Really beautiful.

Hope everyone's well and having a good evening x
 
Lurve the posh frocks, you will look like a million trillion dollars your dress Kassy !!! I've been trawling through some music sites for inspiration too, think I have just about got another week left before my 80's Disco fever is finally thrashed !!!

Diva x
 
Hi girls - I know, it's late, but I can't sleep so thought I'd pop by and catch up with what you've all been up to today!

Kassy - LOVE the dresses. I want lilac/purple for my wedding theme too. The dress you seen for yourself is beautiful! Oooooooh, how exciting! :)
Stacy - hope you're ok. Did you get your furniture?
Viva - how's the walking?
Flutterby - hope you're ok too? I'm not sure what diet to suggest as am doing SW myself. What are you finding difficult about it? Maybe I can help?
Hi Shelski - how are you? Good to hear from you again!
Karen - bet that cream cake was lush!

Just a quick pop in as it is stupidly late and i need to try and get back to sleep like a normal person!

Speak in a few hours no doubt! xx
 
Hey everyone

Still didnt get to gym last night (just have no energy latley and feel knackered) but I did stick to my diet (had 1370 calories) so its not all bad. I'm gonna try my hardest to get back to the gym tonight and for the rest of the week. Even if its just for half an hour sessions.

Pleased you all like the dresses. Now just to determine where we are actually having the wedding haha.

Flutterby - SW is good but I found not the most practical. I find calorie counting the best. I aim for between 1200 and 1500 eveyday. That way you can have what you like in moderation. I watch my fat content too and try not to have over 10g of fat in any meal. I also swear by exercising a little. I also finds it helps to mis your diet up a little. Do a month or two with SW then a month or two counting calories then a month or two lower carb. Keeps your body on its toes.

Bella - How come you coudlnt sleep? I'm sleeping too mcuh I think. Am just so tierd. Was in bed and asleep by 9pm last night. I must be sleeping for the both of us haha.

Shelski - So good to see you back. How have you been keeping? Did yuo have a lovley Xmas and New Year? Whats the letst with you then?

Karen - 2nd is dead good. I didnt realise they were all mega late nights. On the show it looks like they are there till around 11pm. I'm not suprised he was shattered by the end of it. I diodnt realise they gave them topics to discuss too. You learn something new everyday.

Diva - To be fair though you can't beat a bit of 80's pop haha.

Did anyone watch Biggest Loser last night???? I missed it. Who got booted out. How much weight did people lose? Hope to see the catch up episode at the weekend.

Ive jsu had me crumpets for brekki with low fat cheese spread and am already counting donw the hours till lunch time haha. Lentil soup and a yoghurt today but them for tea am making fish cakes, mini potato waffles and beans. mmmmmmmmmmm. This is why I love calorie counting - you can have anything you want really (well, within reason) and aslong as you dont go over a certian amount of caluries you are safe. Where as on slimming world, as I live off convenience food (tins, jars and frozen stuff) I rack up to many syns. Not dissing SW though as I will be due my spell of doing it for a month or so soon when the CCing comes to a halt. Kickstart my diet again haha.

What diest do yous lot love and hate?

Kassy, not sure why I can't sleep, I seem to go through phases like this! Will try and get an early night tonight.

I had toast with marmite for brekkie and now eating a jacket potato with cheese and beans for lunch. Having chicken stuffed with pesto and Philly for dinner with roasted veg. Yum!

Have my double gym classes tonight - body step and pump fx - so looking forward to that.

I think I've tried every diet going but have found Sw the best. One I definitely wouldnt do though is the cabbage diet. Yuk!!!

Hope you're all having a good day Xx

Hi everyone

Thanks Kassy. Had a relaxing Christmas and new year. Had a bad kidney infection at end of October and went off plan. Have tried since then to get back on but was still having lots of kidney pain. Doc referred me to specialist because I only have 1 kidney and they found I have 3 stones. Have to remove them because if they move they could a t like a dam and block off the kidney. Had a stent put in from kidney to bladder last week. Not nice. Has to stay there for a few weeks before they remove it and the stones so no exercise still and signed off work. Will be worth it long term though.
I know what you mean about sw and convenience foods. They don't match. If i can get organised it works for me but it is hard.
Take care xx
