[Ladyshopper]

Well done Scrumpy and Don. Not visited this thread for a few days as been naughty this week. I blame it on stress at work, plus got a schools appeal today which has also been on my mind a bit.

Anyway, lost the plot a little (ok, well a lot actually!) but aiming to get back on track after today (is the appeal today).

[Freebird]

A mini woop from me this week. Finally the body has realised that I'm not giving in and it may as well obey cos I WILL be a Loser! 2lb off which makes a masssive 1lb over the last month :rolleyes: Sheesh - well at least I'm heading the right way and I've finally lost that horrible bloated feeling which has refused to leave me for weeks too. I have high hopes for the coming week! Gonna change my usual eating routines, cook different meals etc.

Well done Don & OH.

Floosy - you can have 4 Ryvita as HEB, have just two and it becomes a speed food HEB.

Vikki - I thought it too :D

ATS - Thank you as always :hug:

[Floosy]

BRILLLLLLIANT :clap:

Don't let the fact you have lost give you a feeling of "ooo, I'll reward myself with a yummy!"
I had another good week by following the Syn challenge! I didn't put any Syns in my mouth until I had found out what the Synnage was....... Anything! OH was most put out! lol

[Jude1234]

you five year old boy says that soon there will be 5 in our familiy and not 4!

He saw me getting dressed this morning and said this, but he wasn't being cheeky he really thought that:eek:

Have well and truly fallen off the wagon and need to climb back on and get motivated, this is a big kick up the ass!

[Mosaic]

They say kids tell the truth! Lol
Glad mine are grown up & know when to keep their mouths shut now!

Having a good week so far - even took my box of carrot & celery sticks to a party on Sunday - ate all the salad, grapes from the cheese platter, scraped the salmon off the rolls with some mini jacket potatoes - yummy!! & Syn free !! :D :D

2 more days to weigh in - so fingers crossed.

Well done all - keep it up - we can all be big losers together :)

[Mosaic]

OOOhhh Deedee - you are naughty!! (But I like you!) Lol Syn free anyway. :D

[Twinks]

OOOhhh Deedee - you are naughty!! (But I like you!) Lol Syn free anyway. :D

Did want to say plenty of protein :behindsofa: x

[Ladyshopper]

Well done Gillian.

Dreading my weigh in tomorrow, think I've only been good about 3 days this week, plus am due on at the weekend, so really not a good conbination. Oh well, back on it today, made veggie shepherds pie for tea, and there should be enough leftovers to take to work tomorrow as well.

Had slimming world chips for lunch, not had them for ages. Unfortunately I had boiled the spuds for too long, so half he pan were too crumbly and ended up being wasted. The ones I did rescue and cook were lush though!

I know where you are coming from re the chips!!! They don't need to be boiled for long at all!

I seem to be struggling this week, have a massively bloated tummy (and it's like I'm pregnant) don't know why I'm bloated as its not totm::noidea:
So am expecting a gain this week...

Well done to everyone else, you have done brilliantly!:)

[vikki]

Well done floos and gillian, brilliant losses :D

Well I have WI early today and have put on 1lb :( TOTM though so that must be it. I'll keep at it till next week, still hoping for target next week. 5lbs away now thanks to pesky mother nature so its not likely but I can dream cant I. I'm going down a plan onto the 810 calories daily plan for the week to try and boost my losses, you never know. :whip:

[clockwatcher]

1lb on for me today. not surprised as I've had a grotty week with DH being poorly, so I never knew what he was going to want to eat or when.

Well done all you losers - I'll be joining you next week!

[clockwatcher]

My 5-year-old stuck a "buy one get one free" sticker on my tummy today - not sure if I should read anything into that! :confused:

[vikki]

Oh Clocky dont take it to heart. You know what kids are like, they are not that deep :rolleyes:

[NitWit]

WTG Floosy and Gillian.

Think light thoughts tomorrow LS.

I have started to plan my food the day before and will start working towards a meal plan for the week as soon as I am settled. I really don't have much hope for my 1st week, but high hopes for my 2nd if I can follow the plan. Just have to be good for a BBQ on Saturday, think it's best I do a Red Day on that one :)

[scrumpyjane]

Well done Deedee and floosy, you are both doing really well :)

Think positive thoughts for next week vikki and cw. Good luck tom Ladyshopper x

I didn't go to wi tonight, oh had to work late and i couldn't take the kiddies as i'd arranged to go to a gym induction afterwards. I couldn't get their dinner, get them showered etc before it was time for wi. I feel that i've probably stayed the same this week as i haven't been bad but not exactly good either. My scales at home are useless, they something different everytime :(. Anyway i had a good workout and i'm going to be good this week (she says lol).

[suziq]

same here scrumpy, didnt make WI
really struggle at the weekend, i can do ok in the week.
i've slid up on the wine and although i eat sensibly what i cook is less slimming. dodnt have the dsd's this weekend coming so will have to see if that helps
need to get back to swimming but really busy with work,,,,,,,,,, sigh, it's all excuses really

[Floosy]

I shall make you laugh with a comment from George, *Mummy I am going to squeeeze you thin* - then he starts squeezing (massive hugs) - Then says *Mummy I think It might take a long time*... LMAO

[taffyswife]

Well done everyone who has lost :) and good luck for next week who didn't.

WI for me this morning.

[Deedee]

Well done all you losers - I'll be joining you next week! You know what you haven't stuck to plan, so hopefully this week you'll be back to it with bells on!

My 5-year-old stuck a "buy one get one free" sticker on my tummy today - not sure if I should read anything into that! :confused: Because he knows what a super Mummy you are, he wants everyone to have one!


I have started to plan my food the day before and will start working towards a meal plan for the week as soon as I am settled.Perfect! I really don't have much hope for my 1st week,????

I didn't go to wi tonight, is there another class you could go to this week? oh had to work late and i couldn't take the kiddies as i'd arranged to go to a gym induction afterwards.

same here scrumpy, didnt make WI
really struggle at the weekend, Go Flexable, and just realise that you wont have the same effect if you don't make sensible choices, better to know and plan, rather than to still expect a loss, then be dissapointed then blow it! lol i can do ok in the week.
i've slid up on the wine and although i eat sensibly what i cook is less slimming. dodnt have the dsd's this weekend coming so will have to see if that helps
need to get back to swimming but really busy with work,,,,,,,,,, sigh, it's all excuses really Come on, do it for you? Remember why you wanted to do it in the first place, promise yourself that you will give it 100% this week, then come back and WOW us!







Can you tell I'm practising? lol Off to 2 other classes today/tonight, to see how they do it..... I already know that my consultant doesn't seem to do it properly, hope to pick up a few hints and tips. Then off to Head Office tomorrow for my training.

Have a great few days everyone, good luck WI'ers and those who are going to go to another class.

[Freebird]

I'll tell you what Dee, you're far more motivating and encouraging than my consultant ever was. She's all over you the first week or two and then you can't get a split second of her attention or an answer to a question - I get them answered here! It's one of the reasons I quit because I felt she just assumed I'd always be there and didn't need to offer me any help.

Also, our entire classes were taken up by going through every persons loss/gain for the week and clapping them two/three times (drove me mad :D). There were never any interesting tips or stuff shared and never any mention of exercise unless she was asking for volunteers to deliver her advertising leaflets.

I think you'll make a brill consultant!! :D

P.S. Counted up the money in Daisy (my cute piggybank) that I've been putting in on WI day since I quit (£5 a week) and which is going towards a new wardrobe in the January sales........I already have £80! :clap2:

[Deedee]

:D:blushes:
Loon! lol
I guess a lot of consultants do it FB, I hope I don't ever become that static and boring! If ever I do, I'll just down a bottle of Gin before group.... PMSL... JOKE!!
Can you imagine, pie eyed consultant ....Karaoke style announcements, inuendo at ever opportunity, and a fag hanging out of the side of your mouth.... oooo what a sketch on telly that would be!

[taffyswife]

Lost 1.5lbs - still got 6.5lbs to go to get back to my two stone loss (again).

[Floosy]

well done taffy xx

[taffyswife]

well done taffy xx

Thanks :)

[Ladyshopper]

Well done taffy.

half a pound on here, not bad considering!

[NitWit]

WTG taffy and LS :)

7pm is mine tonight, but due to a meal at the weekend I went over syns by 27 1/2 this week so I am not expecting to loose anything!

[fatcat]

Forgive me sisters for I have sinned!

I've not weighed in since 31st January 2009!

I'm now ready to face my punishment after weighing in on Saturday and finding out I've put on a whopping 5.6lbs!!!!!! since my last weigh in.

I hereby declare that I'm now going to weigh in religiously every Saturday morning on my own in the comfort of my own home "butt naked" and follow the slimming world plan!

Feel free to kick my bum as I obviously deserve it!

Can someone please add me to the weigh in list before I change my mind!!!

[scrumpyjane]

Had to comment on freebirds post. I agree that you are far more helpfull than my consultant. You'll do well Deedee.

My one is so funny, it's worth £4.50 for the entertainment factor alone. She looks and sounds just like the 'Little Britain' character Marjorie of the fat fighters club.

No word of a lie :D. Shes slightly deaf too bless her so if she asks you whether you've done red or green and you say red, she'll say the opposite lol. I must add she's lovely though. If you go to a conference with all the countrys slimming world consultants Deedee you will know who i'm talking about!

[scrumpyjane]

At our club Deedee, wi starts at 6 and the session finishes at 7.

Our consultant sits at a table near the entrance to welcome and tell the newbies all the info. She does this until approx 6.40 every week and we all just sit around chatting, then it's the reading out losses and clapping, maybe a mention of something then the raffle.

Lots of us have said we would prefer it if she did the info talk etc after class. Do you have to follow a set practice or can you run your class as you see fit?

[ninja_ang]

Well done to all the losers! Our class goes on for ages, it starts at 7pm and doesn't usually finish until 9pm! I had my WI last night and have lost another 1lb (very small loses every week for me), making my total 13lb!
xxx

[scrumpyjane]

That's great ninga-ang, they soon mount up :)

I don't think your gain is bad at all fatcat! Don't worry you'll soon be a loser again :)

[vikki]

Can someone please add me to the weigh in list before I change my mind!!!

NP fatcat added you to the front page, I've started you at 10.5lbs lost. The WL thread can't handle smaller amounts than 0.5lb, it has an eppy! Is that ok? Please PM me with your WI results weekly.

[vikki]

Is that Doable Vikki? What I mean is, are you JUST going to do that this week for your desired outcome? It's an extremely low amount of calories, we need more than a 1000 to perform normaly in a day.


Dee you are so motivational! Thanks!!! I should explain though that the 810 plan is a specific Cambridge plan and is completely safe - it is fully nutritionally balanced so don't worry - I'm not going on a starvation doings! :shocked: I like me food too much :tongue1:

[Twinks]

Lost 1.5lbs - still got 6.5lbs to go to get back to my two stone loss (again).

Well done, your nearly there x

Well done taffy.

half a pound on here, not bad considering!

You'll have that shifted by next week hun x

WTG taffy and LS :)

7pm is mine tonight, but due to a meal at the weekend I went over syns by 27 1/2 this week so I am not expecting to loose anything!

Good luck hun - you never know x

Forgive me sisters for I have sinned!

I've not weighed in since 31st January 2009!

I'm now ready to face my punishment after weighing in on Saturday and finding out I've put on a whopping 5.6lbs!!!!!! since my last weigh in.

I hereby declare that I'm now going to weigh in religiously every Saturday morning on my own in the comfort of my own home "butt naked" and follow the slimming world plan!

Feel free to kick my bum as I obviously deserve it!

Can someone please add me to the weigh in list before I change my mind!!!

Love it - fantastic attitude - :welcome: back to the thread - wish I had only put on a tiny amount like this over the 1st few months of this year.

Well done to all the losers! Our class goes on for ages, it starts at 7pm and doesn't usually finish until 9pm! I had my WI last night and have lost another 1lb (very small loses every week for me), making my total 13lb!

Well done Ninja - they do say that you will keep it off better by losing like this x

[NitWit]

Well I am amazed and delighted to report a 5lb loss :D

1st week on SW, but a total of 32lbs off now.

[ninja_ang]

I don't think I will ever have big losses, I do stick to the plan 100%, but never lose more than 1lb a week! All these people getting 3 or more lb off, there is no way I could do that, I have no idea why my losses are so low! It is going to take me ages to lose my weight I think! But I am really happy with what I have achieved so far and am very proud of myself for having the willpower to do it!

[NitWit]

Well done hun - keep it going - how are you finding SW?

I'm not finding it too bad after struggling for the first few days, thanks. People keep mentioning EE so I might look into that next week. I have mainly been doing Red then Green and back to Red.

Thanks Floosy, hopefully this is the plan for me.

[Floosy]

OMG I do EE allllll the time and couldnt cope going back to just red n green lol xx

Nitwit I was really nervous about trying the EE but now I just cook the family meals without too much effort or thought as it is so easy - good luck for this week hun x

Floosy I am with you on that about EE - couldn't live without it now x (especially if I am doing the moonwalk) x

[NitWit]

EE just looks toooo easy! :D

[Twinks]

EE just looks toooo easy! :D

It is very well named as it really is - potatoes, mince and veg, spag bol, chilli n rice, curry n rice, roast veg and potatoes really whatever you would normally eat as a family x

[suziq]

thanx deedee for those words, make a lot of sense
xx

[Floosy]

Nitwit its fantastic you can make meals such as shepherds pie and the syns would be exceptionally low per portion... Roasts are good just about everything is easssssssssssy xx

[paulapudding]

Gonna have a look at EE ... I had a red day yesterday, made shepherds pie with tattie top for them and a corner of swede top for me ... ok but not the same:rolleyes: Has EE made ur weight loss any different? slow/fast?
Had a laugh Monday - got our toddler weighed and I need to 'loose' 2 of him in weight:eek: quite scary when you pick him up and I think what extra weight I'm carrying:o
WI at tea time x

[NitWit]

I just don't understand the idea of EE. It's like you eat normally, but thats what got me like this. Eating huge portions. I still can't get my head around it.

I think I will give it a go, but might wait till around Xmas to do it so it feels like I am having a little break.

[fatcat]

Well ladies I'm doing well and sticking to slimming world quite well. Had a 18th bbq (not mine!) on Sunday so had a red day, monday red, tuesday green, and wednesday green. Today I've had nothing all day yet apart from tea so I'm hoping to eat something just after 2 when I get home from work!

I'm going to make some homemade veg soup when I get home and going to buy some muller yogurts to mix with my porridge oats - yum yum!

[Mosaic]

Happy to report another 2lbs off this morning - & I only ever do EE too!
Well done Nitwit - you're doing fab! I think the secret with extra easy is that you don't have to weigh so much stuff & because you eat so much at mealtimes - you don't feel hungry in between. :)

[Floosy]

EE is just easy Nitwit, took me a week or so to get used to it.. In fact I put on a 1lb the first week but I ate a shed load of pasta that week.. Have cut pasta right down to a minimum and I eat for england! Last 3 weeks on it I have lost 2.5, 3.5 and 2.5 weigh in just gone. Key is to fill up on the free food and use super speed veggies n fruit.

[kedger25]

Well done all u losers!i have a half pound gain this week,bit gutted but i knew i had as i havent been eating enough!Off to Croatia on sunday for 2 weeks,so will probably come back with a 7-9lb gain as i usually do,goin to try and stick to EE whilst im out there and try and keep away from the bread!I do struggle whilst im out there as MIL does all the cooking and they use sooo much oil,im taking fry light with me and also scan bran!!x

[paulapudding]

1lb off :) at WI,so 4.5lbs gone - hoping for 1 stone for xmas ...

Thanks for all the advice on here x

[clarer0110]

Put on 1lb this week. Bought the EE menu book so guess what I'll be eating next week...!! Thanks Floosy for the recommendation for EE, will give it a go and see how much I lose next week.

Although I am out for curry tonight for a friend's 40th birthday which I couldn't say no to!!!

[Donpacifico]

Can anyone help me find syn value of :

Hartleys Rasberries in Jelly Fat Free 175g. (98 calories)

The other Hartleys jelly i had was in one of the SW mags as1/2 a syn per pot, and that one is

Hartleys low Calorie Cranberry & Rasberry flaour jelly 175g. Also has less than 10 calories per pot emblazoned on the pot aswell.

Now i suspect the first one with 98 calories has a little more than 1/2 a syn per pot.

TIA for any help here.

If you've got all the nutrition information on the pack, you can use the syns calculator on the SW website.

i just found answer to my question and there is quite a difference in Syns with both jellies and would be easy to mistake them for each other as they are
both fat free.

Hartley's Raspberries in Jelly, Fat Free, ambient 175g pot


* Original 5 Syns * Green 5 Syns

[closemead]

3 1/2lb off for me this week :) Today have consumed my own body weight in birthday cake and party tea dd3 1st birthday!

[NitWit]

WTG closemead, excellent loss :)

Am going to try SuzyCurry tomorrow in the slow cooker. Can anyone give me an idea on how many portions it makes so I know how much Chicken to defrost to go in it?

[Ladyshopper]

Amazing 1st week loss, well done Nitwit. :clap2:

Also well done Harginbunter, paulapudding and closemead.

[Freebird]

Nitwit - the famous Suzy curry supposedly makes 6 portions....BUT.....that depends on how much of it you scoff in one go. Let's just say that with my OH (and PMT'd up me) there's never 4 portions left over!!! Just bung in what you think is right.

Well done Losers - and Kedg......you know you can lose that easily so don't worry and go and enjoy your holiday!

[vikki]

Just popping in to say g'morning to you all! Will be around later to catch up and update the front page so keep those pms coming. Have a good dieting day all!!! :D

Right I need some inspiration and fast lol....

I need speed fruit and veg - Plus how many scanbran/cardboard is it per Hex?

Hi hun, keep going - you can have 5 scanbran per heb or 4 scanbran and 1 weetabix x

[Floosy]

OMG Id rather die than eat weetabix, so 5 on hex it is!

[NitWit]

Thanks LS.... I think it was just a 1st week loss though, we will see! Hows your weeks been? Getting back into the swing of it?

Well I have been good all week, but it's a BBQ at a house warming today. I think it will be best that I do a Red day, stay away from the sausages and bread rolls!

Thanks FB for the portion sizes. I am just about to get some Brunch and then I will prep it all to cook in the slow cooker all day. The big cooker only has one setting, so I hope it doesn't overdo it.

Hope everyone has a good weekend :)

[NitWit]

Ohh boy, I am in love with the Mullerlight Vanilla Yogurt Sprinkled with Dark Chocolate & with a Black Cherry Underlayer that comes in the packs. It's only 100g, but the only one listed on the SW website is 165g and 2 syns. Can anyone confirm whether it is free or 2 syns a pot? I thank you :)

Thx FB weighed in this morning and lost it plus another half so feel better now lol!!!
Really got to get my arris into gear and get some packing done!

[clockwatcher]

I've had another rubbish few days food-wise. I've not been too bad so far today - eggs and beans for brekkie, and homemade leek and potato soup for lunch, with a HEB of bread and one of cheese. And about 5 syns-worth of chocolate spread. :o Going to make ratatouille for tea.

[NitWit]

Thanks for the info though.

WD on your WI :)

[happybunny]

glad to report 2lbs off, would have liked to have another 7lbs off before i go to las vegas, but only have 3 more weigh ins so really do not think i will do it.

[Deedee]

Morning all, I'm back from HO, will catch up on everyone later, just wanted to pop in and say Hi!

The one thing that I will say is.... lol (omg I am already margorie doors)

If you follow the plan 100% you WILL lose weight, the most common reasons for no weight loss are;

Forgetting Syns (hiding Syns)
Not measuring HE's
ooo and not checking Syn values before consumption!!

Sitting there as a member who has said, loads of times, to class "I have done plan 100%" I had to admit to myself that I was fibbing at those times....

They are BIG, BIG, BIG on admitting the truth there, and allowing yourself the Syns, as long as you can stay in control. If you know you are going to blow out, plan for it, then you won't feel the need to carry on ruining it/hiding it/not following plan.

So from this day forward, if I know I want MORE SYNS, I will give myself extra syns, keep counting, stay on plan, but with those extras.
Then I wont feel like I have to hide anything, I will know why I havent lost/sts/gained.



****Raises Hand and says "AYE":clap2::clap2:

[Donpacifico]

Well done everyone, i see there have been some good losses last week. Good luck to anyone who has gained to get it off this week too.

3.5 lb loss for me this week and 3lb loss for OH.

Just 2lb to go to reach 5 stone loss for me and i am hoping to get in the next week ... or 2.

[Deedee]

Wicked Don, fantastic, and give a big Well done to the OH too ♥

[scrumpyjane]

Well done Don and to your oh. You're doing brilliantly. Are you near you final target?

Are you just following SW or are you exercising too?

Just following the SW plan. We do take the dogs for walkies but nothing drastic.

[Deedee]

Think I am going to do a "Sucess Express" today --- to help either maintain last weeks WI or @ least limit the damage I did over the weekend in the pub and hotel @ Alfreton.... Well, Life is for living as long as you counterbalance by sticking to it for the rest of the week.

I'm trying to organise a few friends to help me deliver 3000 leaflets on Sunday, so will be running around like a blue ass fly this week. Lots of body magic. :D

What are everyone else's plans for the week?

[Ladyshopper]

Ummm, my plans are to try and stop eating the delish choccie brownies my DS made yesterday. Unfortunately the cookies I made to go with them are also going down a treat as well.

And I'm going out for lunch today, am really not having a good week diet wise!

[vikki]

Hi all happy monday!

Just a quick reminder, please remember to PM me your losses. I do read the thread but if I miss a page, or your totals on the front page are wrong in the first place it all goes a bit Pete Tong :D

[clockwatcher]

I can't decide whether to go to WI tomorrow or not. I know I should, for the support and motivation which I know I need, but it's over an hour's drive each way, I've been knackered for the past week or two and I've got loads to do at home. GRRR!!!!

[Deedee]

CW, think of it as "Me Time" a break from all you have to do, this is the one part of the week that you owe yourself, don't put yourself at the bottom of the list, commit yourself to YOU, if you are finding the drive tooo much, have a look at the "online group" i'm sure you'll be fine with it... have a look on the site. ♥

[NitWit]

While I remember, anyone needing baking sheets, Lidl are supposed to have them in store today for £1.99 each with up to 300 reuses. Very very handy for low fat cooking.

[Moll]

or @ least limit the damage I did over the weekend in the pub and hotel @ Alfreton.... Well, Life is for living as long

aww deedee whats all this . where did you go in Alfreton . its just down the road from me ???????????
happy to report . me and my WW friend sharon are still power walking for an hour twice a week . she lost 3.5 ibs last week . i maintained but was happy with that as been out and about a lot

[addictedtosaving]

Well done to all the losers.

It was DD2's 4th birthday yesterday and we had family round for a buffet lunch and tea. I made my SW pasta salad and SW chips, salad, cooked meats (and buns, cakes, biscuits, nuts etc). I was really good food-wise but in the evening I had a large bag of chocolate peanuts that OH's mum had brought for me and a bottle of wine. I also had 3 portions of sherry trifle that OH's granny had brought with her.

Damage limitation for me until WI on Wednesday. I was at the top end of my target last week and will no doubt have gained a couple of pounds this week so I will have to start paying again until I get back into target. :rolleyes::whip:

Thanks Dee. I've tried online diets before and got nowhere. I'll try and get an early night tonight and get to group tomorrow, but if I don't, it'll be the first one I've missed since early July, so I'm not doing too badly in terms of making time for it/me.

[Freebird]

Wooopwooop - despite being a total pig on Sat/yesterday and scoffing a pack of Maryland choc chip + hazelnut cookies (what is it with not being able to stop at two??) AND a bottle of wine AND some toffee vodka, I've managed a 1lb loss. Rather pleased all things considered.

Will try harder this week...honest. Am behind on my holiday weight loss mission so time to get back on track. :boxing:

Huge well done Don & OH - you're both doing brilliantly - and also any other Losers this week! :clap2:

[NitWit]

Or for baking cookies, which I'm right into at the moment!

Any healthy recipes LS?

[Donpacifico]

Well done Don and to your oh. You're doing brilliantly. Are you near you final target?

OH is.. but i set my selfelf a target of losing 6stone 13lbs to 7 stone6 lb.

So i need to lose 2 stone more to get to top range of target and 2 1/2 stone in total.
Not really sure when i will get there but i have been steadily losing about 1/2 stone a month approx.

Clothes become a problem especially when things dont fit for very long and i dont want to splash out much on clothes untill i get close to target.

Had great inspiration from this thread especailly hearing of peoples successes and struggles and good ideas for menus etc.

So big thanks to everyone.

xx

[ninja_ang]

Well done to all the losers, I have got the dreaded WI tomorrow night, am really hoping to hit my 1 stone award!
I have just made the cod mornay out of the recipe calendar that comes with the slimming world magazine, was quite nice actually, considering I have never eaten cod out of batter before (not a fish fan), not overly keen on spinach and don't really like cherry toms!!! But decided I was getting stuck in a rut eating the same foods everyday so thought I should try new things!
Does anyone have a link to some slimming world recipes, gone through most of the ones on the slimming world website!
xxxx

[scrumpyjane]

I'm relieved you replied Don as i thought maybe i was being too nosey and you didn't want to say :o.

You are doing a great job and i don't doubt you will reach your target as you are getting close. I'm seriously impressed :)

I've often thought it would be a good idea if once a month, after a SW class, that people could bring in clothes they've grown out of and people swap, because it is a problem like you say not wanting to splash out on something you're not going to wear for long.

[Deedee]

.5 loss for me last night! And that is A Mazin considering what I had on the weekend.

I have a linky somewhere for a whole load of SW recipes, had a quick look (can't find it) but will look deeper later hun. I'll ask the Vikmeister if she can pop it on the first page.... :D some of them will need double checking though as they were compiled when corned beef was free.....ahhh remembers the days.



DS is home from School today, poorly bad on't sofa. So will be on here pretty much allllll day!


EDIT --- found it, it's on a PDF on my pooter, I'll send it to Vikki to upload as an attatchment.

[addictedtosaving]

Well done Deedee.:clap2: Hope your DS feels better soon.

[Twinks]

[ninja_ang]

Thanks Dee, can't rep at the mo though!

[fatcat]

Well ladies I'm sorry to say my weightloss was only 1/2lb which I'm totally gutted about! "Mother nature" decided to pay me a call and boy did i know it!!! How embarrassing to "leak" through knickers, trousers and all over office chair!! Good job I work alone!!! I've been in agony but the floods have stopped now so hopefully I'll see a good weight loss on Saturday.

Glad to see everyone is doing so well and keep up the postings, they really are a true inspiration to us all.

[Ladyshopper]

Any healthy recipes LS?

No, decidedly unhealthy, and am beahving very badly food wise this week. :o

Well done to losers though, and Freebird, you do make me chuckle losing even after scoffing all that. Well done!

[Freebird]

LS - it was pure luck.....this morning my scales showed a 2lb gain :eek: Thank god I have the rest of the week to catch up! :rolleyes:

[clockwatcher]

2.5lb off for me today - that takes me back down to the weight I reached 4 weeks ago! But I'm determined not to yoyo back up again - it's onwards and downwards for me!

[Ladyshopper]

Hooray, well done Clocky! :wave1:

Don't think I'm even going to bother weighing in tomorrow, have had dreadful week.

[taffyswife]

Well done everyone :)

WI tomorrow - not sure how it is going to go (hit the chocolate last night).

[Floosy]

I gained 1.5lbs but I ain't bovvered... Because we have all been poorly in this house and just ate what what covienient and what we fancied. Could have been worse but lookin to the week ahead xxx

I have just WI and lost 3lbs. Not the 5 that I was hoping for, but I thought it was a bit hopeful anyway! Well chuffed with that and only 2lbs to go till target yippee!!! Just gotta stay off the cakes for a bit longer...... erm I mean forever:rolleyes:

[scrumpyjane]

Well done vikki :). I've lost 1lb, which i'm pleased about as i've not followed the plan exactly this week.

[ninja_ang]

Well done losers! Woohoo, I lost 2 1/2 lb this week, So I have got my stone award!
I have now lost 1 stone 1 1/2 lb!
xxx

[paulapudding]

Well done ninja ang, vikki and all losers !

[addictedtosaving]

Well done fatcat, clocky, ninja ang, vikki and scrumpy.

I have got WI tonight and know that I have gained which takes me over the top end of my target. I was thinking of not going to WI tonight and being good for a week so that hopefully I get back into target but I know that if I don't go tonight I won't get back on track and will probably end up gaining even more. I am going to have to take the bull by the horns and go for it. Hopefully the thought of having to pay next week if I don't get back into target will give me the kick up the backside I desperately need.:boink:

Good luck tonight ATS - good attitude because you know you're only cheating yourself if you don't go and pretend you haven't gained. Then again, you may get a pleasant surprise!

Well done all the Losers - fatcat, clocky, ninja, vikki etc. You're all doing brilliantly! And Fatcat - half a pound is still less and it's in the right direction! :)

[taffyswife]

Well done everyone :)

Stayed the same this week - very pleased.

[addictedtosaving]

As I feared I have gained:nono:. Only 1.5lb so not too bad and hopefully I can get that off this week and get back in to target.

[closemead]

1lb loss for me very pleased as ate lots of birthday cake over weekend.

[Freebird]

ATS - you know you can - it's probably partly bloat anyway :boxing:

Closemead - :clap2: :)

[NitWit]

Well I STS last night. I only went for the WI as I was/am full of cold. I forgot to get the password too, so if anyone would be so kind to PM me? (Thanks Gillian and scrumpyjane x)

God knows what I will be doing for dinner. I'm even running out of Mullers. BTW, the 'plodge' (oats and muller) is lovely and the Suzy curry went down very well. it reminded me of Bombay potatoes.

[kirsty's mam]

Hi guys, Can I join in please? I have a very bad habit of losing wewight successfully then getting complacent and putting it back on again.

I lost 3 stone between Jan & June and was really chuffed with myself. Just back from hols and stood on the scales for the first time since July and have put back on 2 stone. I could cry! Or more likely turn to the chocolates :(

Any advice on how to give myself a kick up the bum and get back into it?

[NitWit]

Welcome kirsty's mam :wave:

How did you lose your weight before? Have you got a event next year coming up that you can focus on?

[Twinks]

I forgot to report my WI from Tuesday and I lost another 2 1/2 lbs and also got SOTW again - so pleased and only want 1/2lb or more this week to get my 3 stone award x

:welcome: kirsty's mam - stick with us here hun and you'll be back to where you were in no time x

[kirsty's mam]

Welcome kirsty's mam :wave:

How did you lose your weight before? Have you got a event next year coming up that you can focus on?

I lost it using Weight Watchers. I find the diet easy to follow when I'm focussed but just need to get that impetus back again.

[clockwatcher]

I had brunch with friends this morning, so made use of flexible syns, but I think I got a bit too flexible this afternoon. Had free food this evening though, so I'm focused again, and will get an early night before I get tempted by anything else.

[paulapudding]

Well done all losers and joiners - thanks for all your posts, it keeps you going:)
Well pleased of a 2.5lbs loss at WI, making 7lbs gone - got 1/2 stone award! Superb as I've not gone to plan earlier this week, so MUST write down this week to keep track. Also think I'm changing to EE - bit fed up of cooking different meals to theirs:rolleyes:

[vikki]

Well done all losers so far.

Welcome to Kirstys mam - I'll add you to the front page, please pm me with your WI details each week (how much you lose that is!) so I will attempt to keep it all up to date! When are you going to do your WI?

I'm struggling now to stick to it. I have a planned night off tomorrow, for a Chinese and a few drinky poos and I'm finding it really difficult to reign myself in from having a little square of choccy here, a hunk of cheese there........

Only 2lbs from target and it may as well be 10 cos the way I feel I can't see me getting there in the near future. If I wasn't doing Cambridge it wouldn't be an issue but it costs a blooming fortune :rolleyes:

I know, it wont take long but there is some sort of mental block going on..... Aaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!!

[Deedee]

Morning all,
Welcome to the new guys on the thread, it really helps being here ♥
Well done losers, STS's and everyone who knows exactly why they put on!!

Flexable Syns is great CW, I did get told at HO that if you follow a flexable syns day/night with a Success Express day, you should deffo reap the benefits!! Use them wisely everyone, it doesn't mean go "Flexable" all week, then SE the day before WI! lol

Well I am all set to go, my official "10 day promo" starts today, so I am going out and about shortly letting everyone know.

My scales arrived yesterday, and I was right, my scales at home are PAP! lol

Nitwit: Do a shopping list based on your meals for the week ahead.
♥♥♥♥

"PLAN YOUR WEEKEND"

[clarer0110]

Lost 1/5lb this week, was hoping for more but at least I didn't put on!!

And we have the new credit card thingys as well, was there for ages last night as the clerks were being trained on how to use them.

Well done everyone:clap2:

[Freebird]

Oh gawd I have been sooooooo flexible on my syns.....bad Fb! I've forgotten what SE is but need some for the next 3 days to avoid a gain for the week!

Be strong, lovely Losers.....may you survive the weekend! :D

[Mosaic]

Hi guys, Can I join in please? I have a very bad habit of losing wewight successfully then getting complacent and putting it back on again.

I lost 3 stone between Jan & June and was really chuffed with myself. Just back from hols and stood on the scales for the first time since July and have put back on 2 stone. I could cry! Or more likely turn to the chocolates :(

Any advice on how to give myself a kick up the bum and get back into it?

Hi Kirsty's mam - I'm here crying with you - was supposed to make an extra effort this week & managed to gain 4.5lbs!!!******* What am I doing??
All that effort & then blowing it in one week - I think I need sellotape - NO not to eat - to put over my mouth - ROTFL :p :p

(Are there any syns in sellotape?) :o

[Freebird]

HN.......chin up, dust yerself down and get straight back on track. To really gain that much, you would have had to do some SERIOUS overeating! It's probably a bit of bloat - give it a couple of days and you may well see some of that drop off. :hug:

Altogether now...we WILL..... :)

[Deedee]

HB - FB is right, unless of course you ate a small human! lol

It's just a fluctuation, don't ruin the efforts you have made this week, by thinking "What's the point, I may as well pig out!" because if you have been following plan, it WILL show, you CAN NOT NOT lose weight if you 100% follow plan.


I'm on a break, been touting my wares on the Streets of North Cardiff, made some corking little contacts, including 2 community police officers -- they were quite foxy too! lol

Most receptive to my postering have been leisure centres, deli's and hairdressers!

Rock on, now for a bit of SS lunch.

[Mosaic]

Thanks Freebird & Deedee ! I wouldn't have been so miffed if I had been stuffing all week - but I wasn't - HONEST!!
Think it is my "monthlies" they are about "quarterlies" at the mo! Also, stopped taking my water tablets - 'cos I take too many pills for this, that & the other.

Just had my choccie fix of SW Hi Fi mint bar with my coffee - so should be ok till lunch now!

Going for a Balti tonight - but only costs 15 syns - as advised by SW consultant yesterday :) & will be driving so no risk of wasting syns on booze.

[Deedee]

Just stay away from the poppadoms! lol

Allow yourself a certain amount of Syns tonight HB, over estimate if you have too, but try to stick to what you agreed before you went out. Then YOU are in control.
♥♥

:Jealous: Havent had a Balti in ages!

[ninja_ang]

What is success express Dee?
xxx

[paulapudding]

What is success express Dee?
xxx

I was gonna ask ... :behindsofa: :confused:

[Mosaic]

I have got a purply red leaflet in my pack explaining Mix2max & Success express.
Success express:-
Have 3 meals a day - at each one fill 2/3 of plate with superfree foods - on other third choose foods that are free on green or original - (or both together )
Add 1 or 2 HE "a" choices & 2 "b" choices from red or green list.
Snack on superfree foods
Enjoy 5 - 15 syns as part of a meal or as treats.

HTH

[ninja_ang]

Thanks Harginbunter! xxx

[Mosaic]

Thanks Harginbunter! xxx

Glad to help! Haven't tried it yet.

Had a great Balti & only 15 syns in total - so quite pleased with myself :p

[Deedee]

thanks for explaining SE HB! lol (so many abbreviations! lol)

yup, 2 thirds of your plate should be YELLOW page foods (Superfree) and a 3rd free, red/green, it doesnt mean the superfree spread really thinly across the plate and the red/green third piled hile like the Eifel Tower! lol


"Baby bottles" If Social Services were ever to call around my house on a Fri/SAt night, I may be locked away --- I measured out my gin into one again last night, 250ml - 10 x 25ml = 10 x 2.5 Syns, This way when I wake up in the morning I can see exactly how much I had last night.
Pleasantly, I only had, 75ml last night, = 7.5 syns!! OMG -- So top tip, get your OH hammered, get him to get on your nerves before you even have a snifter, et voila! You don't want to get wrrecked because you are far toooo superior! pmsl!

Hammering down in this bit of Cardiff this morning, hope it stops by tomorrow, will be leafleting 3000 houses.


Whatcha all doing for X Factor night tonight (my highlight of the week -- how sad?!)

[Freebird]

PMSL at Dee......my OH came home wrecked last night and that put me right off the wine I had ready to drink....after getting some food down him and getting him to bed, I'd lost my drinking mojo. :D

HB, thx for the explanation - can't rep you againa t the mo.

I made bolognese with quorn mince last night......not bad, but not brilliant. Good for green days though.

I'm going to try and SE next week, will kick start by going out to do lots of walking....round the shops. :)

[Deedee]

FB --- With the quorn mince, I like to chuck in a load of marmite! gives it that little bit of "oomph!"

[scrumpyjane]

This is a bit random lol but thought i'd mention it anyway.

My consultant mentioned that the mini Chupa Chup lollies are 1 syn each. The co-op have bags of 35 on offer at £1 at the minute. Handy if you have a sweet tooth and need a sugar fix :). If not handy for trick or treaters!

[clockwatcher]

What can I do with white chocolate Options and quark to satisfy my chocolate craving? Needs to be something that doesn't involve gelatine as I'm veggie.

TIA.

[NitWit]

I like to put a meringue nest (2 1/2 - 3 syns) in the bottom of a bowl, fill it with your fav fresh fruit and then pour on the options quark/fromage frais mix. I prefer FF. Don't forget to syn the options too.

[paulapudding]

Thanks HB

& Deedee, you made me lol - scaring me toddler !! baby bottles ... what a great idea to measure & keep track. Might have to put im on a beaker sooner rather than later, just so I don't get mixed up :D

Used different HE today, so no milk for a change. Having a warming bovril instead:)

[happybunny]

please to report a 1lb loss this week. off to las vegas in 2 weigh ins time so would like a few more lbs off by then.

[Deedee]

CW, what about eggs? Can you eat them?
If you can, whip up some egg whites, spoon in some sweetener and the options, spoon into little moulds (or just leave in one bowl) chill for as long as you can resist! OR, pop it in a silicon mould and whack it in a super hot oven, meringues!!

[clockwatcher]

Thanks Nitwit and Deedee - I've got some left-over egg whites in the fridge so I shall see what I can do!

[NitWit]

Here's what I just demolished while watching Most Haunted!

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1340/imag0054w.jpg

Sorry about the quality of the image.

I had been very good on syns today, so it comprised of, 2 meringues (5 syns), Lots of pineapple and grapes (Would have added strawberries but forgot to pick them up shopping), then added lots fromage frais which had a white chocolate options (2.5 syns) mixed into it. Yum Yum!

[Donpacifico]

1.5 lbs loss for me this week ( was hoping for 2lbs off to hit 5 stone mark:mad: )
.5 lb gain for oh.

Hope everyone has a good week. Very well done to all who have lost/std. And for any gainers, just stick at it for perseverance is name of the game.

Good luck to all new peeps who have joined thread or any who are thinking of joining.

And Best wishes and good luck to Dee on starting your class.

x

[Deedee]

WELL DONE DON!! :D

That's cracking for a week where you wanted to get an award, I usually hover around the award markers for weeks! lol

Well after walking for 8 hrs yesterday (delivering leaflets) I so better have lost this week!! lol Thighs are killing me today... but... I quite liked pounding the streets, I think it was because there was a purpose, and the purpose I could see was for me, Do you know what I mean? I've done walking before, but get bored, so I am going to look for a paper round!! lol (joke) Need to find an elderly neighbour with a dog, or a working family... oooo can you hear my brain clicking? lol


Weetabix crunchy bran for breakfast this morning, I needed a bowl that looked full of something, and you can have 42g as a HE'B.

Gonna go shopping, and this week cook some, good, Comfort foods (stew n' stuff) in the slow cooker.

HAGD everyone. :love:

[Freebird]

Gawd - wi day after a blow out is not good - 3lb on for me :eek: Still, not disheartened as I know there must be a lot of "bloat" there as I can't have put that on after one day!

Here's to a better week - won't be around much as loads to do so hope you all have a fab week.

Dee, fingers crossed for your new venture and a good loss!

[Floosy]

Dee it worrys me that you like pounding the streets so much hun... Just don't wear anything remotely revealing when doing it:D

[Deedee]

pmsl Floos!

FB, whacha doing all week then? Busy, or can't be ar$ed!!!
:hand on hip, wag finger smilie!: lol

[Freebird]

I'm really busy - lots of work to catch up on and really need to get my act together.

Serious detox coming up too.....

[mhoc]

Well we are back on the wagon, done some new charts, 8 weeks to Christmas with only one event planed in that time. Target is for both of us to loose another half stone before Christmas :D

[addictedtosaving]

Well done Don, you are doing so well. You will have that pesky half a pound off next week (and more).

Dee - I hope all your leaflet dropping pays off for you, I would love you as my consultant. My consultant is very dreary and not at all motivational.

FB - I am sure that will probably just be bloat, because like you say you wouldn't have put on 3lb just from one bad day. Knuckle down to some work this week:nono:. Good luck for next week's WI.

I went out of target this week so desperately need to lose 1.5lb this week. :whip: Going to Chiquito tonight with OH and DD2:help:.

[Mosaic]

Never mind FB - it will all be gone for next week! Mine almost has - but WI not till Thurs am & anything could happen in between. Got 3 meals out before then & 2 of them are tomorrow!!! :eek:
Lunch will be a carvery - with loads of veg (which I adore - even sprouts!) - no stuffing, roasts or yorkies. Dinner will be at a steakhouse - so gammon with pineapple, Jacket spud & salad & no pud - so I will be full but sticking to the plan. Oh - yeah - also driving both times so no booze!
Wednesday is looking after DGD - so lots of running around the park for Body Magic! - then Curry & boiled rice for dinner - (15 syns)
So should be ok - put suffering badly with water ( & the other!) retention at the moment & tablets I am taking only seem to make the problem worse. :o

[Deedee]

[Deedee]

thanks guys, just back from WI, -2lb! 3.5st award, Total now stands at -50lb!!!

Gutted though, there were a few new members tonight, who had turned up with my leaflet! ahhhhh! lol

[vikki]

Well done Dee, Floosy, Don and all other losers!

Freebs at least you know what to blame - it will be off by next week you know it girl!

Hoping for a loss at WI tomorrow - only 2lbs to go till target. A sneaky peak at the scales isn't looking too hopeful but anything can happen, I hope!

Don't forget to PM me your losses peeps! I try to update the thread at least 3/4 times a week

[paulapudding]

Loved your story Dee - Good Luck in your new venture x

And er, wow - 50 lbs :star-smiley:

[shoppaholic45]

Hi everyone, i have been struggling with my diet since i came back from getting married, i put six pounds on whilst away and lost three pounds of it then have put two pounds back on, my problem is lack of motivation. I have just read dee's story and it has given me hope and made me realise that i really do need to get my self back on track. I would like to join this thread please. I would like to lose about 4 stones. I have lost 15 pounds so far.

[NitWit]

WTG Dee... we are all so proud of you :love:

[addictedtosaving]

Well done Dee, you must be so proud of yourself.:clap2:

[Deedee]

Well that is fantastic hun, over a stone already! Brill! You'll find lots of help here, the girls and boys are fab! How are you doing it? Are you following a plan? What is your downfall?

Guys I have run out of rep, but you know I love you all! :love:

[Mosaic]

Love the slinky dress Dee - great pic :love:

Welcome Shoppaholic - & well done on your loss so far - keep going :p
Is your Oh overweight too - can you encourage & help each other.

I am losing & my OH is gaining - he says he's not overweight, but is about 1.5 stone heavier than when we got married (26 years ago!) :o

Must go to bed now - before I'm tempted to snack now everyone else is asleep! :nono:

[mhoc]

Cheese is my downfall. I try and restrict myself to 25g a day but its no good I adore extra mature cheese. Loads of packs in the freezer but in the fridge I have

Lake district
Pembrokeshire
Kerry Low
Tickler

It is all Mt Ts fault that I've been buying the correct cheese to use the MOCs up. Mr T has sabotaged my diet.

[Freebird]

Mhoc...you can have 28g on SW.... :D

[Deedee]

and if you use the finest grater holes, it looks like LOADS, when in fact it's not! lol

And if you were to do a Green day, you could have 2 x A choice for cheese! of cheese from this list:
28g
Cheddar
Double Glo
Edam
Emmantal
Gouda
Gruyere
Parmesan socksick
Red leicester
42g
Feta
Mozzy
Reduced fat cheddar
Reduced fat cheshire....
And it doesn't stop there!! Oh No, you can really go for it on a GReen day and go for another 2 cheese choices on HE B!

the list is a bit longer for B choices, but you get what we are saying? You love the smelly stuff, go green! lol

[Deedee]

Hi Jo! I see you there! Lol

[mhoc]

I think that might be the answer, use the finer sized cheese grater and do the grating at breakfast when I am making breakfast, making sandwiches etc and more inclined to stick to the correct ammount.

The trouble with grating cheese is that is leaves an untidly edge to the cheese which needs tidying up and straightening :star-smiley:

[Deedee]

lol, mhoc... how about allowing yourself a thin, fine slice to tidy it up, but weigh it first!!! Think how proud of yourself you'll be knowing you measured it first!!

[Twinks]

So pleasssssssssssssssed to report another 2 1/2lb this week and I got SOTW, SOTM and my 3 stone award - I am one very happy woman!

Although - I am expecting a gain next week as although I will be very good (SE) until Friday I am making loads of tablet and toffee for Halloween and it is the one thing I am very good at so I know I will eat loads (sorry Dee no stopping me on this one - but please do try:behindsofa:) and also am going to the good food show on Friday. I am actually preparing myself for a gain of up to 2 lbs as I feel I deserve a couple of days where I know I will be naughty but have planned the whole week so will be straight back on it come Sunday x

[Mosaic]

Well done Gillian on your loss & for being honest Lol :clap2:
I think it's much better to be honest & accept the consequences :rolleyes:

[Ladyshopper]

Been staying away from this thread, as just not getting back on track at the moment and am eating rubbish.

Having an issus at work, and I always comfort eat when I'm upset. Know I'm doing it, just can't seem to stop. :(

Mhoc, I'm with you on the cheese front, I love it love it love it!

[shoppaholic45]

[vikki]

Welcome shoppa! Please let me know when your WI time and day is and I will add you to the first page.

Well done Gillian what an amazing result, and have a lovely saturday off, you so deserve it!

Mhoc I am also a cheese head. Buy the little individual ones and portion control is easier! Works for me:D

Pleased to announce a 1lb loss this week, after a planned night off on friday I'm chuffed as nuts! 1lb to go to target, I hope its not as elusive as I'm expecting..... :shocked:

[Deedee]

WOW Vikki, that's A MAZE IN! 1lb to go ... wooo hoooo!

ps: love "Chuffed to nuts!" :D

[ninja_ang]

Well done Gillian and vikki and anyone else I missed! I can report a half lb loss! Not great, but a loss is a loss, now at 16lb, not far from my club 10 now!
Keep up to the good work everyone!

[salsa]

Hi all - I need your help !!!
I have been on a life long diet, ww, herbalife, not eating at all, and I have to admit I have been bulimic for as long as I can remember, sometimes really bad and sometimes ok ish - However, since April when i had that issue with my friends (which I won't harp on about but I'm sure you all read it) something changed in me. I have always had self confidence / self esteem issues, feeling that i'm not as good as other people and looking up to them. BUT when I stood up for myself for what i believe in and realised that I am a good person and as good as anyone else somehow I regained my self confidence and esteem which has been lacking for a long time - with this the bulimia disappeared - I believe it wasnt an illness in itself but a sympton of deeper issues which i seem to have resolved. I'm proud to say that I havent binged & purged for over 6 months and I honestly believe that I wont ever again.


I havent dieted in the last 6 months and have just eaten reasonably but a lack of planning means I don't have "right foods" in the house so I'm just eating what is there. After reading dee's story I'm inspired to get planning and do SW again but I'm also on a really tight budget, could anyone give me their easy standby ideas - something you always fall back on when your not thinking.

I've got
muller light ,omelettes, baked pots, salad, 3 bean chilli, chicken in bacon etc.
I'm switching from tea - 3 sugars, to coffee with sweetener and stocking up on diet fizzy stuff.

The other thing I struggle with a bit is after a lifetime of not eating properly is that I'm scared of letting go and eat everything I'm allowed to.
When i did this before I found myself not using 15 syns and not even using both my healthy a's and b's.

I really want to get this right once and for all, cos although I've got my confidence back the last little bit is still tied up with my weight - I just don't dress nice when I'm a few stone over, combats and jumpers instead of nice jeans & tops and yet I have a wardrobe full of nice size 12 and size 10 clothes, can't really afford clothes at the mo so even losing 10lbs to get me back in some of them would be great.

I know your all great on here so I'm just asking for your help and support so I can look as fab as Dee does !!!!
