Well ,I was going to the evening class but just to get weighed. Then I thought that was a waste of time so I emailed the SW leader and asked to take this week as a holiday day.So I'll go next Thursday morning to my usual class. Does anybody know how many holiday days off from class you can have in a given period of time?

I believe it's 6 a year.... Denny

Thanks Denny. I vaguely remember the leader telling someone how many days it was.I thought I heard her say 6 but wasn't sure as I was only eavesdropping

i lost my half pound and got my stone award yey!!! i also got voted the class miss slinky and won a sash and lovely silver star paperweight!!!! hubby has just ordered an indian take away to celebrate!!!! so i will have to be good as gold for the rest of the week ha ha!! good luck for next weeks weigh in days guys lindsay

Hi Everyone,
Not been on site for a while, all the decorating is now done just a case of de-cluttering things!!!! Bit like trying to loose weight!!!!!!
Well done to everyone who has lost llbs recently.
I lost 2lb last weigh in, realised the weekends have been letting me down recently so hopefully in the lead up to the festive seaon I will be busy at the weekends.
Downloaded the recipes - brilliant. I will PM those of you that have asked for the Pea and Rice soup, also got a brilliant one for butternut squash soup which I made this week and it is lovely.
Off to have SW chips and a burger now - so speak soon.
Irene

Well done Lordy. I take it you will be entering the national Miss Slinky competition then I will look out for you in the SW mag .

Please to meet you Irene Is your recipe for Butternut squash soup in the SW recipe archives online?

I have had lentil curry again tonight as I made a big batch. Lovely!!

The Butternut squash soup was given to me at work - not sure if it is in the SW recipes. Please PM me and I can send it to you.
Irene

Thanks Irene. Will do.

i doubt it hbrac!!! i have only lost a stone but our sw group is just a new one so our leader didnt want us to miss out on having some fun i didnt in a million years think people would vote for me but they all said i was the one who looked so different from when i started 11 weeks ago!!! lindsay.

Hi all
Well done Lordy - Miss Slinky
I lost 1lb this week so feel pretty chuffed with that. Im truely not having a good time diet wise. I have no commitment or will power to do it. I really want to diet and start the day with so many good intentions, but by the end of it, im eating chocolate, cakes, and biscuits. I have never had a sweet tooth until this last 6 weeks. Crisps and cheese were my sworn enemies :roll:. Its meant that I have had to really try and keep my daily syns down so that when I do eat the rubbish at the end of the day, ive got the syns to use. Its been really hard though and ive found myself doubling up some days :oops:.

Hopefully, things will start getting easier again between now and the christmas holidays. I have already made my mind up that christmas day, boxing day, new year's eve and new year's day will be diet free days. No worrying about syning for me!

Hope everyone has a good week.
Sarah

Hi everyone,
Only lost 0.5lb this week but at least that is 3 weeks with a weight loss. Putting it down to soups and having more will power of a weekend.
Not feeling 100% today sore throat and a bit achy not going to suck loads of lozengers as I know that can put you off track going to sip sugar free blackcurrant and take paracetamol - fingers crossed.
Keep up the good work everyone.
Irene

Hi everyone,

Well after getting my Club 10 last week , this week i've lost nothing at all. Don't understand that!!! Not done anything different at all this last week!!!! Never mind going to stick to it , but have Christmas works do on Sat night and it's my birthday on Monday.... So I will have to be extra good the rest of the week.

Good luck to every one

Denny

Hi everyone and well done(esp miss slinky!!)
Back on the wagon and lost 1 this week
If I work at it - it should pass 60 lbs soon
Lally

well done everyone and thanks for the comments!!! at least none of you have put on so you should all be very pleased with yourselves. sarah i know it is extremely hard to get back on the diet wagon after losing your nan but i think you are doing really well so keep at it girl!! i always remember when i lost a stone and a half years ago when i first joined sw and i went to visit my nan and i said what do you think nan i have lost 1 and a half stone? she said dont worry love you'll put it back on before you know it!!! i was miffed at the time but she was right!!! so this time i know i have got to keep it off and keep going to class.will let you know how i do tomorrow girls good luck lindsay

Ooo it seems rather quiet on the diet front.
Well I am relieved to say I lost 1lb and got my half stone award. Phew !!! I had about a day to claw it back.
Our SW leader says she will be at group over Xmas
How many do you think will turn up then

i lost a pound!! am on my way to my club 10 award now our sw leader gave us a christmas day menu at class and asked how many sins was in it we were all very surprised that there was only 15 sins for a whole day. i dont think any of us could have possibly ate all the things on the list in a whole day so it just goes to show you can still enjoy christmas and not miss out at all. lindsay

Hi Everyone
Hope all having a good week.
We did a Christmas Day Menu at class last Tuesday night and I must say I couldn't eat all they suggest - I am just a bit worried about the savouries, nuts, chesses, crackers etc - I am going to buy smaller amounts but I couldn't not buy them as that effects others and I am doing SW for me it shouldn't effect family/friends.
As our class is a Tuesday we 'weigh in' on the Sunday before Christmas Day and the Sunday before New Years Day. Will be interesting to see how many turn up, know everyone is busy but believe this is the time you need your SW buddies the most
I am working towards my stone loss for Tuesday but have not been 100% and my appetite is less than normal and I know this can work against you - doesn't always mean by eating less that you lose weight.
Going to have a well earned glass of wine later as I have not stopped with the housework, washing etc all day
Irene

well enjoy your glass of wine irene. i hope you enjoy your chesses!!! ha ha! at christmas. sorry but i can just imagine you nibbling at the chess board!! i am off out for a meal and a few drinks tonight as it was my birthday yesterday my sister is babysitting Caleb for us so we can let our hair down! good luck this week everyone lindsay.

OMG that was before I had my 2 glassses of wine!!!!
Need to check what I type in future.
Hope you enjoyed your night out.
Irene
