Options Hot Chocolate

I love these! for 2 syns each theyre amazing for treating a sweet tooth! Loving the new flavours!

New Hifi Bar!

Info released today, in group 19th October apparently!

Mayflower Curry - Beef

My other half fancied a chinese beef curry, I have to say I was reluctant to make it as I don't often cook with beef but it was yummy! 4 syns each for the mayflower Curry Sauce but SO worth it! Everything else was free!

Official Holiday Gain

So after being shocked I had gained just under 8lbs on Saturday I am ecstatic with just a 4lb official gain from my jollies, considering I missed 2 weigh ins so really it is only 2lb a week.

Hopefully that will be off in no time!
Back on plan and 1 st 4 lbs to lose by Christmas, I hope!

Doner and Chicken

My main thing since coming back off my holidays is my lack of appetite. I'm not saying I didn't eat but the heat definately affected my appetite. Wasn't feeling like eating much but at the same time was really craving a dirty kebab. Made the healthier version instead and scoffed the lot! Syn Free Doner and Syn Free Tandoori Chicken! Couple of syns for the mayo!

Tandem Sky Dive

So on 5th September 2015, I jumped out of a plane for Ovarian Cancer Action, raising close to £700 for charity and taking my fundraising total to way over £3,000 for them. I wouldn't have been able to do it without losing the weight with SW as when I started I was over the heaviest limit. But after 6 months on SW I was finally able to jump, comfortably, and tick it off my bucket list. Here are some of my photos from the day, would recommend to anyone!

Holiday Blues

Apologies for the gap in posts! I only got back from Javea, Alicante late on Friday night! Weighed myself on Saturday morning and have gained approx 7lbs!!! Got until Thursday to try and pull some back so stocking up on speed soup and fruit!! Enjoyed myself but definately feeling better now I'm not having bread at every meal! xx

Interim Target

Wanted to get to my interim before my holiday next Wednesday and I'm pleased to report I did! 

I'll be away for the next two weigh ins so lets hope my gain isn't massive!

Spag Bol

It's so good when your other half produces SW friendly meals like this. Yummy!

New me

2st 8 difference. Can't believe how awesome I'm feeling at the moment. I go on holiday a week tomorrow and I will be going 1st 8lb lighter than I would if I hadn't have joined SW in March! 

Couldn't be happier with how far I've come!

1/2lb gain. Going for gold next week (which means 2lb)!

Half a pound gain tonight. Not happy but it's not the end of the world! Prepped my overnight oats as soon as I got home and now chilling with the new magazine and a brew before bed! Aiming for 2lb next week to get my interim target!! 

Positive thoughts! 

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. And I'm not going to do that!

Weigh Day

Shock To The System...

As a nominee for woman of the year we were asked to gather some old photos to show the comparison and our journey. I am amazed at how different I look, some of these photos don't even look like me!

The highest recorded weight I reached was 15st 10lbs, although I am sure I reached at least 16st and a size 20.

When I joined SW on 12th March 2015 my first recorded weight was 14st 10lbs and I was a 14/16.
My recorded weight was 13st 3.5lbs last week and now 90% of my clothes are a 12.
I haven't lost a massive amount so far but I love how different I feel. I have a completely different outlook on food and can't believe how easy this has been to stick to. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I have never gone hungry!

SW coconut macaroons

I know they look more like meringues! But theyre still lovely!

Ingredients:
4 egg whites
198g sugar
71g coconut

Method:
Beat the egg whites until frothy (Make sure no yolk whatsoever has contaminated the egg whites, otherwise you could be whisking for ever!)
Add the sugar and beat until stiff.
Fold in the coconut, put mixture into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe 30 macaroons onto a parchment covered baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven (170ºC/150ºC Fan/Gas Mark 3).
Remove from oven, and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the baking sheet.

Pick Me Up Needed!

Pick me up needed and this was it! I can't believe how different I look. It doesn't even look like me! It's nice to have definition between my chin and neck!
