Thank you
I'm not sure if I can shift it by Tuesday since I've only really got three days (WI is Tuesday morning) but hopefully I can get it down to a 2lb gain or even a 1lb gain would be ace !
Hope you've all been doing well whilst i've been gone

Yes Bron is Pandora - legit Pandora too! Haha. I got the bracelet and charm for my first anniversary and then one for my 2nd and 3rd one
Theyre all green and blue but the problem is I would have to start all over again if I got one bead that was a different colour!

Nice to be back! Congrats on leaving us 17stoners! Totally jealous! Should be there soon now I'm back!

Hope you and OH are okay xxxxxx
Yes we're ok now thanks. I'm glad to read that you're going for it! It was an amazing feeling when the seat belt needed to be tightened on the plane! Haha. I hope to have more amazing discoveries with my new slimmer body as it slinks down!

glad you are okay sweetie. I have had a few nsvs lately which have really helped, especially my winter kit. This time last winter I was at my heaviest nearly 2 stone heavier.. I put a sweatshirt on that was so tight last year I kept it just incase well it fits and is even baggy in places things like that I also so want a pair of knee high boots and my legs are too fat I just cant get any I can afford so hoping they slim down enough to have some soon
Its the sillyiest things that are keeping me motivated
So what is your food plan for today? xxxxxx

It's a brilliant feeling to think about you being TWO STONE lighter - I bet last year you never dreamt you would be this year! Just like me!
I've been hammering the soup and when I can't cope with soup I've had yoghurts and fruit - really want to minimise the gain or (if I'm lucky) not have a gain at all on Tuesday - I'll just have to wait and see!

Hello slinky-to-be's!
Im still sticking to my soup-a-thon until tomorrow. It's going really well. I have had SW last night with spaghetti hoops - just to have solid food and I do have my HEXB bread with my soup but it's really doing me good.
I think I'll be keeping this up because it's definitely speeding things up! I'm sure!
This is leek and potato soup...

Hi Karen
Did you try Michelles Lentil and Bacon soup? if not I recommend it as its delicious and really really filling
I must make some actually as I am going to do more EE this week for a change to break the boredom.
Actually sweetie what can I snack on today other than fruit and yoghurt on EE... I went to grab a mugshot and my teenagers have had all four that I got on Saturday

Oooo I've not seen a recipe for lentil and bacon soup - now I know how to do soup I'm in my element!
Hmmmm snacks.. Let me think... Here's what I have (don't know if you consider them snacks but it's my little munchies...)
* make crisps with potatoes and a little salt.
* if I want a big snack / mini meal I'll have SW chips with spaghetti hoops.
* hot chocolate (for sweet kicks!)
* Asda bubbly bite (3 syns)
* Hartleys Sugar Free Jelly (in a pot) 1/2 syn
* dippy egg on toast. One cut into the egg... Ahhh!
* pickled onions! Rob loves to sit and eat them and they're free.
* Batchelors rice (big snack / mini meal)
That's all I can think of at the moment but to be honest we have a constant supply of mugshots (we buy them from the Pound shop - 3 for a £1!) so we will generally go for them too or mullers

thats a good price for the mugshots I bought 4 but they eat two at a time little monkeys. I shall have to hide them :giggle:
I shall put the recipe on here for you later when I've finished preparing tea for the soup Its the nicest most filling soup I've ever had and its totally free on EE
thank you for the list of ideas as I'm not used to EE and wanted to do a few EE days this week to vary my diet abit

OMG I'm watching older episodes of 'Supersize vs. Superskinny'
I love these programmes - theyre like therapy for me. I can see myself in all of the 'supersize' people. I can understand why they've eaten as they do because that was me too.
I would go to the cupboard in the kitchen for some crisps. If they were something lighter like Quavers or Wotsits I ALWAYS picked up two bags. Always. Why? because they were nice. Did I question it? No - I was alone - Rob was in work and I liked them.
My work friends would say 'Karen I really never see you eating anything' and I thought 'thats because theres no judgement when I'm pigging out on the sofa EVERY day'
I would go to somewhere like B&M - a cheap shop for sweets - and buy maybe five packs of various sweets / chocolate. Within a few days they were all gone - literally all by me. What did I do next? I went back to B&M or whatever and bought some more.
So here I am sat here watching where the big person is stood there in their underwear and the skinny person is there shivering with the doctor and they're going through what they eat on a typical week whilst the food is gushing down the tubes. I'll bet you that all of the 'normal' size people gasp when they see the supersizer's food. I probably do a little myself until I realise 'hang on - I used to eat the same!' and it literally was the same, sometimes more, I may have had FOUR meals a day.
I would make things like chocolate crispy cakes just so I could munch on endless amounts of melted chocolate whilst I was making them. Seriously. That taste was amazing although I always felt sick afterwards but I got over it and did it all again.
I'm thinking back to a time... I was 14 or less because I know which house we lived in at the time. I'm guessing I was more like 10 years old. Someone had bought me a box of Malteasers for Easter and I opened them up and ate loads of them, seriously half the box. I remember panicking thinking 'what if my mum finds out I ate them all? she'll go mad' so I went to the shop and bought a few bags to fill up the box again. I see that as a key point to my weight issues that shows it stemmed back to a long time ago.
Another thing that 'fed' my issues was I started sneaking biscuits to my room - my parents were strict with stuff like that which obviously I can understand but that made me want them more.
When I was 18 I said to my mum 'why have you stopped buying biscuits' and she told me coldly 'to try and stop you putting on any more weight.' At that point I was a size 16 but with a skinny waist and a big bum - obviously I was bigger than at school but I think that happens to most people at that age. Her words really hurt me. I know its what they think is best at the time and with me not being a parent I cant comment on that side of things but as the 'child' that approach did not work. Weight is something that is solely controlled by the person and no one else. Her comments left me running for the fridge.
I sometimes think of how many 'syns' I would have in a day - OMG is was outrageous!! It would potentially 60 or 70 on snacks and then McDonalds, Burger King, Chippie or KFC ON TOP?!
Anyway - this is a little bit of a confessional post - just got me thinking when I saw the programme and i'm sure theres more of you that can identify with me

Thanks Mandy !! I will update you at 9.30 tomorrow off my phone !! I cant wait actually - I think i've gotten away with it with my soup rampage but we'll see!! To be honest if I have gained a pound or two its nothing compared to what it could have been.
I used to be scared of falling off the wagon and not getting back on but now I know I WONT do it. I want this so bad - it IS working so I have no reason to give up. I may have some naughty stuff on the one day but by keeping my syns lower I can account for it.
I'm excited for tomorrow - ok yeah I know I probably havent lost since I was last weighed but if you saw all of the naughty stuff I ate it's a miracle!!
The odd thing is its 'naughty' compared to the SW plan but compared to my old ways it was amazing !! I seriously had like a hifi bar for breakfast, fresh free soup for dinner and then an ice cream or cheesecake with tea but I knew it was naughty and over my syns !!
