Sounds like you've had a busy couple of days!
I've absolutely no excuse now this week, since I just done the food shop and ignored alllllll the lovely food that was calling to me. I got the makings of soups, salads, loads of veggies and fruit and plenty of meat. Sorted.
The new scales puts me at 15.08 so, basically 15.1? I've put on 3lb in the past couple of weeks, which isn't so bad considering all the alcohol that was consumed lol
I just re-seeded the grass out back and watered it down, so hopefully all the patches from dog and foot traffic will grow back in soon. Must say it's absolutely gorgeous here today...not a cloud in the sky. Going to bring my little one over to my friend's house in a while so she can paddle in the pool with my friend's little girl. Apparently I'm already getting burned, so I'll have to put on some factor, and slather my girl in it too.
The dress was no longer on a mannequin in the window of the shop, rather it was buried behind other dresses so I didn't take a pic. But it's a maxi dress, as I said, and it's all white and pink with hints of other colors swirling through it, and it has a diamanté band just under the boobs. It really is fab. I have one stone to lose before I buy it, and I want it gone by 9th July, so I'm going to get cracking!
Right, I'm off now cos I'm absolutely starved. I'd eat a nun's arse through the convent gates lol
-0.5lb off for me. If I'm honest I'm disappointed but I'm looking at it positively. It's coming off and that's what matters!

I'm going to buy some lemons today and start drinking ice-water with lemon... hope it's nice. Suppose I'll have to add a bit of sweetner to take the tang out of it.
I'm not sure whether the smash pizza refridgerates well or not.. it never lasts that long here haha
I always end up synning the cheese, as I usually use my milk on tea, but now that summer is here I won't really drink much tea.... so more room for pizza hah.
The dress is fab.. I'll take a snap of it on my way down town on Thursday morning. I too hate wearing black in summer. But colors just don't look right! Soon....soooooon....
STS. Not amused as have upped my exercise :character00115:, been 100% and ate so much super speed stuff not to mention having a good variety...I was like a walking slimming world advert this week!:superwoman: My consultant thinks because of upping my exercise and all the extra boobie feeding I've done with Miles being poorly that I probably haven't eaten enough. I'm not gonna get upset about it, I'm just going to kick ass this week and if it's not a good loss...well then I will deal with that issue then.
I guess I probably didn't help that I had a large cous cous based dinner for lunch, hadn't been able to poop all day :sign0131sorry for tmi) and Miles wouldn't fully empty me, so a STS isn't terrible...but wanted to get into the 16's:cry:. I will just have to have a bloody good loss next week. April and May have been slow months for me. Bring on June I say!
I'm eating to live from now on.
"I'm eating to live from now on" fab quote/thought mandy!! Love it! Don't be too disheartened, even if the bbq hasn't affected your weight the new scales may be different. I know my scales at the gym I work in are 7lbs heavier weighing then my weigh in ones.. reckon they do it on purpose so you don't cancel ur membership!
Ellen I maintained when I increased my exercise initially, after 3 weeks it stopped affecting it. Do you measure your inches?? Keep checking as the inches fall when lbs might not.
Roziee how's Trev? I use the mushroom strogonoff recipe in my head! But the one in the magazine is supposed to be amazing!.; Have you got it? If not ill pop it up.. I don't have garlic or onion tho as I hate them! I just basically fry light the pan, gently cook the various mushrooms (I always add different veg too ie Courgettes and peppers) , add mixed spices and I add about 8-10 tbsp of passata. I then add my philly allowance for the day and stir it all in, add parsley, then I take it off the heat and add half a small tub of quark/or 0% whichever I have, then serve immediately with wholegrain rice. I usually add another dollop of quark/0% on top ! Yumm!
Was at a funeral yesterday, didn't eat anything naughty but didn't eat much at all. I spent all day rushing from a to b to c . But I did have a few wow look at you comments which were amazing.. just wish it hadn't been at a funeral. Sad day but anyway.. today is my nans birthday! I've had strawberries and alpen light for brekkie, we are out for lunch I think but I'm not sure what ill have.. I'm thinking I may go for steak jacket and salad? Or grilled chicken and salad? Not sure yet! Although I have my lad home from school today, little monkey sliced his foot so he's home hobbling around! So as he hates eating out we may stay at home with dvds so I could get some sleep!
Measured my waist and another inch off and a inch off from under my boobs and an inch from my hips too! Not done any exercise this week tho as I'm so tired. Working nights so in my head I'm thinking all the walking nd running up and down stairs should be doing something surely!

I didn't even bother with the ommelette in the end. Just had a massive plate of salad. 3 slices of ham, some beetroot, lettuce and salad leaves, spring onion and light salad cream. Stuffed!
The ham was taken out instead of the chicken, so it's boiled ham, with potatoes and veg for dinner.

xMandyDx said:I know it too, Rozie! I had a cuppa and an apple to fill the gap until I did the food shop, and then I had a salad, and boiled ham, mash, and veggies for dinner, with a bowl of noodles and my bread later on when I got peckish. So far so good. Been roasting hot here today too, so there was plenty of fluid intake.
Tomorrow I'm planning on having some fruit and toast for breakfast, salad again for lunch and minced beef hash for dinner, with a snack of a KitKat and low fat crisps later on.
The plan may vary slightly, but not too much.
I bought some lemons in the shopping today and am going to give the lemon water a try tomorrow. If I don't like it, surely I can do as you guys are doing and use it in salads and coke. But I don't like honey, so I'll have to just drizzle a bit over the salad on its own.
I'm totally motivated for that stone by July. Bring it!
Going to go for a cycle tomorrow with the baby or hit the gym...or maybe both.. haven't decided yet!

Mandy your doing fabulously well!! I loveee the lemon on salad, its gorgeous. Although yesterday I went out for lunch and estimating 25 syns... I did go for lemon meringue pudding though so I tried with the lemons!!
I'm buying some more lemons today and also aubergine. In the slimming world summer recipes book I bought in group there's these lovely aubergine rolls. I'm going to give them a go! Never had aubergine before but they look like gooey bites.. ill let you know how I get on.
With the sunshine I only ever fancy salads and fruits. I'm worried my meal yesterday will cost me a loss Monday but ill keep going. I had crumbed chicken but removed the batter / crumbs at the table, chips (lovely too lol!) And I ordered a huge dressing free side salad with it and it came with a diddy pot of lime and mango Mayo. I'm estimating about 15 syns as I gave 1/3 chips to my son and then pudding was lemon posset topped with meringue and vanilla ice cream and whipped cream and lemon slices.. hehe. Maybe 10 syns is being a bit optimistic lol it was lovely though and I had no other syns all day. Had syn free smash pizza For tea.
The sunshine motivates me, I'm sooo hot however I managed to work etc 4 stone heavier in this heat with no air con at work ill never no!
xMandyDx said:So sorry to hear that sad news, hun. I hope her boys can learn to laugh again
You done very well with the meal out. I reckon I would have just said sod it and scoffed it all haha
This morning I slept in so had a banana and a pint of water with a whole lemon squeezed in, and then dropped the two halves in as well lol... just had a massive sandwich. Wholemeal bread with no butter, two slices of ham and a big pile of homemade coleslaw using the extra light mayo (2 syns for 2 tablespoons). There was an entire onion, a carrot and a bit of white cabbage in it... stuffed!
Minced beef hash for dinner...actually can't wait, it's gorgeous!
