Well done for going before Christmas. I got to target for my summer hols but have put back on 8lbs and am dithering about whether to go back this week or after Christrmas. :think

I have put half a pound on since August so still in target allbeit a heavier target than what I originall set - just been messing about and I was going to be so focused on a nice loss for Christmas - Suppose between now and Christmas (6 weeks today), we could all lose a few llbs?

Right - Time to stop messing around?
Starting tomorrow or next weigh in which ever suits lets say 4 weeks on SW with back to basics weighing,measuring and counting ALL syns.
I do Green days during the week and try for EE weekends.
Who is up for a 4 week challenge? We need to get into thos LBD's for Christmas. :really

I was 13st 1 on New Years Day and I was 12st 3 yesterday so I am almost a stone lighter, but that is before Christmas. My excuse is I have been lucky enough to go on a lovely long cruise of 24 nights. Before I went I was down to 11st 12. Been trying to get back into it but really need to read my books. I'm making daft mistakes like having 2 Shredded wheat as a HEB when it should have been only 1!!!

Well done Maureen - you have done very well.
TBH I thought is was 1 and a half Shredded Wheat for a HEXB?

Just back from SW class and maintained this week.
So Day 1 from tomorrow.

Aarond - I do green days as I am a vegetarian - are you?
Tip 1 - Lots of soups, I love the 12 speed vegetable soup, carrot and lentil and just got an amazing Mushroom soup recipe that I am going to make tomorrow night.

Well I decided to bite the bullet and go back to SW this morning. I know I have put on (ahem lbs) :yikes so need to get back on track. I will have to pay from next week but hopefully it won't be too long before I can get to at least 3lbs off my target and eventually back to target.

Morning All
Had a brilliant day yesterday until about 5pm. :que
Was working through until 8.30pm and the school laid on refreshments so what did I do I munched and munched. :cry
Hoping to limit the damage by having a good 4+ days before weigh in.

Ann - Not sure if the soups I mentioned are on the SW site - if not I can let you have them.

SW 12 speed soup
1 can mixed bean salad (I get mine from Asda)
1 can green lentils
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 can baked beans
handful of split lentils
2 large leeks
1 large onion
4 medium carrots
2 parsnips
green, red amd yellow pepper
2 stock cubes (beef or veg)
salt and pepper, mixed herbs
water - enough to cover ingrediants

Chop all the veg, put in a pan with water to cover and bring to the boil
and simmer until soft - can be left chunky or blended. Freezes well
Can also be cooked in a slow cooker.
Make approx 8- 10 portions.

If there are any ingredients that you don't like you could leave out and increase something that you do like?
Enjoy................
