Thank you, Lauren

Your total weight loss is amazing too, well done How do you stay motivated for so long?

I can't believe I've lost that much this week as I've literally eaten my own weight in fruit...everyday since starting. I've got the ingredients now to try your chocolate mousse tonight. The swiss roll recipe I found online was not nice, I got all excited about have 1/2 syn 'cake' but it was really weird and eggy

Your food diary seems yummy, still have to try your curried mushrooms, mmm

Thank you again Sarah xx

 

[laurenporkchop]

I have heard about the roulade thing, but never attempted it. Half the people say its awesome and half say it's eggy and gross! Maybe trial and error and just keep trying?

Thanks!
Well, I was super motivated for a holiday to America last year and lost 2 and half stone within 4 and a bit months. I think in my head I just knew what I wanted to look like and went for it.
After all the festivities of xmas and everything else I'm back on it to try and lose some more. I seem to have lost most of my willpower but I think I'm slowly getting it back. It kinda becomes a way of life after a while and I don't think it ever really feels like a diet? If you know what I mean!!

6.5lbs in your first week though it amazing, just keep at it you're doing so well

Well done on the weightloss that's fab!! You are doing so well and only 2 weeks in!

I'm sure if you make healthy choices with eating out, but still allow yourself some treats you'll be fine.
I have faith!!

Aww thank you

I'm thinking that if I have treats on the meal times/party times that I'm out (without going mad) and i'm good the rest of the time hopefully I can get some damage limitation.

Gonna cheat this weekend tho, think weigh in day will be on the saturday morning instead of sunday to give me some extra time to recover from the two impending teatime meals out Either that or i'm gonna try and use my new trampette lots this week, if I can ever work out how it goes (instructions not in english)
