''The best thing about loosing 15lb, is that my knickers fall down when i walk''

I decided to start back on Slimming World randomly whilst drying my hair on a Sunday Morning. I frog-marched my mum to the local ASDA and together we bought syn free foods and free foods. That was the 27th June 2010, and since then I've lost 15lbs.
I did Slimming World 3 years ago and lost nearly 4 stone. Stuff happened, I lost my way and found a friend in local takeaways..
I've been vegetarian for all my life and wouldnt have it any other way. This ulitimatley means I don green days all the time, which is no problem. Its just like a meat eater choosing to do red days all the time.
The only difference this time with Slimming World is that I'm not going to group. I can afford it. I miss the new recepies and finding out new syn values etc, and have decided that if I start to get bored or want new ideas, then I will join group again. I keep a food diary everyday which is so useful to look back at for insiration. I also go in the gym 3-4 times a week. Our gym is in our Garage so Im very lucky I only have to wander outside for a workout and boost my weightloss.
Everyting is so baggy on my now, that I resemble a tramp. However, i dont mind this one bit. The best thing about loosing 15lb, is that my knickers fall down when i walk, and their is no sweeter sucsess than that!

Sore right knee again from walking cross country last October, need to keep up with the physio workouts and losing weight will help with this. I've done 30 minutes of walking on the Wii Fit before breakfast. I've lost 3 lb so far yay!

My plan to keep my mind off food today is to concentrate on craft swapping site www.swap-bot.com, I volunteered as a group admin for July and love coming up with ideas, it keeps me in my craft cupboard and away from the kitchen. Planning a black and yellow themed filled matchbox swap.

I was in a hungry mood all day, maybe because it was cold outside and I needed more fuel or more likely because I was finding recipes on the internet to try this week. I'm craving chocolate (day 5 of period) and my comfort foods- pizza or mash potatoes on buttered white bread. I'm ignoring it though, drinking plenty. I did a 30 minute walk on the Wii Fit.
