I think you **** have to pay even if you dont go one week, i know what you mean about the money tho its £5 for sw then i take my daughter zumba so £10 a week for that and was thinking of starting another zumba class, it was ok to begin with but it's £60 a month! soon bloomin adds up
 
I was thinking about SW and WW but I decided to just watch what I eat and work out at home, I brought some work out dvds on the cheap from Amazon, and do 45 min a day. I have lost 1st 4lb since 21st Jan.

I so wish we had a big gym in this village with all the classes included! I seem to spend more than friends who are members at Village leisure/David Lloyd some months!

I joined as a shift worker as I sometimes work evenings so think it's ok to miss the odd week here and there as long as I notify the consultant, I've also got my 6 weeks holiday leave I've never used yet since joining in September. I go to different groups to suit me but i know they check up on you to see if you have been weekly - it comes up on their computers if someone misses a week and know my consultant checks to see where I've weighed in if I don't see him that week.

Zumba at the council leisure centre is £2.20 as I have a discount card but typically I don't go to that one as It's a Friday night and I'm too tired on a Friday and can't face 2 trains home after!

That's a very good amount:)

I should dig my Davina dvd out have a go at that again!
 
Theres a zumba class at my gym which is 5 mins walk from my house on friday morning for £2:50 but i can't do anything that energetic that time in the morning lol. i cant go gym this week as kids off school and OH at work and no zumba cos of school holidays so home dvds and kinect games only this week still going for 2 and half loss tho

Vikx993: if you're good at sticking to it then it might be worth going to slimming world and getting the book's and giving the plan ago most people dont exercise on the plan and lose loads of weight just eating good food and lots of it
 
@Alison, i spoke to my doc and they said to just stick to walking now and perhaps try zumba/exercise dvds when I'm feeling a bit fitter, just hope the weather cheers up soon, driving me mad being stuck inddors all the time :x



Having a go at making SW trifle today, it says to use fromage frais with sweetner for the topping but am going to use activia vanilla yoghurt instead as not keen on fromage frais

will let you know if its a disaster or not :))
 
i feel so fat i've eaten way too much tonight, my dinner was cottage pie (made with extra lean mince, 2 oxo cubes, 1 veg stock cube, worcestershire sauce, carrot, tomatoes, leeks, peas, baked beans and mashed potato) with savoy cabbage

(trifle was 1 1/2 syns as i split the mixture one for me one for OH he gobbled his in less than a minute :o its very sweet so i suggest make maybe six instead of 2 big ones so would be 1/2 syn each)
 
The trifle looks lovely! I think I'll be making that soon!

I made the 1/2 syn roulade at the weekend but it all went a bit wrong - it's like eating sweet omlette :{
 
OMG i love trifle i ate 2 yesterday and 6 at half syns each will deffinately be making them they look delish:))

Lost 1lb this week but i have been snacky and kid's are off school and been i'll so at least it's off and i got my club 10 and slimmer of the month woop woop
 
Sorry iv not been around much, iv been totally off plan the last 2 weeks. I'm starting a part time job on Monday so will have some money of my own and I want to re start at group.

Thanks

They are offering free membership if you buy a 12 week countdown, also meaning you pay only 10 weeks for the price of 12. x
 
It's my birthday today so went out for lunch with parents - flexi day, in fact flexi weekend!

We found a pub with a fab vegan menu so I had ratatouille with rice and salad - the chef does not use oil in some dishes to make them low fat. It came with bread but left that.

I could not resist pudding as they had vegan sticky toffee pudding! It was a pretty small pud thankfully but was fab really enjoyed it!

Too full for much tonight but have been eating fruit and salad bits and syn free hummous.

Will go to the gym in the am, and then having a night out with Chinese and several pubs involved! Not too worried as It's the healthy Chinese so can have a pretty healthy meal..............until we get to the choc birthday cake and wine:{

But I'm enjoying a weekend off and will be back on plan Monday and if I put a couple of pounds on I'll soon shift them.

Booked in for Body Tone Monday and Zumba Thursday!
 
2lb loss for me last week, need 3lb for my stone award :(|) don't think i'll get it this week as ive had a few bad days with too many syns :{
 
Whilst I have not gone too overboard this birthday weekend I have eaten way, way too many syns and reckon I'll of put 2lb on or more. Will see how the scales are here Weds but not sure I'll go to Weigh in this week may miss a week, save wasting £5 and go following week.

I have been naughty with food and drink this weekend but you only have a birthday once a year! Not been as bad as I'd of been in past years and must say I felt so ill/stuffed once home last night - took me 2 hours to go to sleep - my body can;t cope with high fat food well these days, just get stomach acherolleyes
 
Happy birthday, i had a bad week last week and knew i hadnt lost much if anything as zumba cancelled and kids home so couldnt go gym and had been snacky forgot to get planned meals out of freezer etc, but i knew if i didnt go to weigh in i would of probably carried on with bad habit's so i went and i only lost 1lb which was enough to get club 10 and i also won slimmer of the month so I'm glad i went as although i had lost 1lb i had lost 10lb overall that month and it give me a boost for this week. So if you don't go to weigh in make sure you start fresh at the start of next week your allowed to have a bloomin birthday lol.

I cant handle high fat food's either i darent eat them after my mums fried egg and bacon last week:red

Well done! When are you getting married? I love slimming world i rarely even crave chocolate now (or i've realised i never did it was just something to grab) I think I'm going to have to fight to lose weight now but aslong as it comes off, good luck for this week
 
I don't really have any interest in getting married myself but i would want to do it discretly if i did after all it's about two people not about friends and family and would be much more intimate and special
 
Thats what we think, we want our wedding to be like or marriage, just me and him. We dont want alot of fuss or hassle. Just me and him.

We are hoping we can do it at Niagra Falls
 
I decided to take some new piccies now I am close to target again :)
Here you go....
love Stacey x

My weight loss was very slow hun. It took me 11 months to lose 1 stone 3.5lbs with slimming world and I lost about 7lbs before joining.
I managed to keep within target right up until Dec 2010. I'm now just working on getting back to target again. xx
 
I love seeing all the photos, well done again!

Just back from Zumba and I was at the front tonight and surrounded by mirrors and am now beginning to notice the difference - reckon I'm about half way now on my weight loss plan - nearly at 2.5 stone loss and thats since last September but has been slow and steady - sometimes feel like I will never get there!

I seem to be at the 'not losing weight but losing inches phase' maybe linked to starting to get back into excercise again?

I did start eating healthily today weetabix and banana, fruit, lentil and vege soup and more fruit but tonight I was that tired/cold when I got in all I wanted was instant mashed potato and spaghetti hoopsrolleyes:red I must start cooking again as can't have meals like that very often, not nutritious that.

Now eating salad and smoked tofu chunks which is a bit better.

Weird this week really not been feeling hungry.
 
Had my first full shift at my new job, all the cleaning at the end was exhusting but can go on my body magic at least.
I'm freezing atm, gona make a hot choccy any head to bed.

♥ Mash Pizza ♥

SYN FREE ON GREEN & EXTRA EASY

Ingredients:
1 Packet of Mr Mash or Asda Smart Price instant mashed potato
Frylight
Half a carton of passata
Dash of lea & perrins
Dried Basil
Half a medium red onion
Toppings of your choice
42g of low fat cheese or 57g of low fat mozzarella (Use as Healthy extra A or 6 syns)

Method:
Make up the mash with boiling water according to packet instructions. I used the Asda one and mixed it with 400ml of water. Needs to be very doughy consistency, should be able to squash into a ball the size of a tennis ball.

Spray the cake tin with frylight then press the mash down until its flat and fills the tin. Place in the oven on gas mark 5 on middle shelf and cook until just turning golden brown, then turn over and brown the other side.

Whilst the base is cooking, soften the onions in a saucepan with frylight. Then add the passata, lea & perrins & basil. Heat through.

Once base is golden on both sides take out of the oven then add the tomato sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice.
Place back in oven until cheese has melted.
