Re wraps, BFree wholegrain gluten and wheat free: 1 wrap = Healthy B. I don't know where you can buy them but they're on the list, just in case you want a wrap from time to time

I think it was in Tesco that I got those wraps but they were in the gluten free section and not with the regular wraps and bread.

I was down 1.5lbs tonight so down 15lbs in total with Slimming World and 2st 1 1/4 lbs in total from my heaviest.

I made an apple betty dessert the Slimming World way tonight, it was like an apple filled baked custard but I didn't like the artificial aftertaste despite only using less than half of what was recommended but my husband loved it and finished it off.

Ive started a kind of detox thing this week to see will it give me a bit of a boost. Its basically clean eating but you are not allowed any tea/coffee, pasta etc. No sugar so no biscuits, or treats. I thought i would find it a lot harder, esp the no tea as im totally addicted to tea but its not too bad.
This is day 3 so far and i haven't had one cup of tea or one sweet thing. You can have rice cakes, so i have had a few of those to nibble on.

Feel im stuck at the mo with slimming world so just going to give this a try for a week or two and see how i go. Have my hols in a few weeks so be nice just to get a few extra lbs off before then.

I think most dunnes and Supervalu stock the wraps. I love the odd wrap but at €4.09 I think they're too expensive. Luckily the slimming world plan can be as cost effective as you want it to be!

I used to love wraps too but I've been making really thin omelettes and using them instead, really nice filled like a fajita for dinner

Well done, that's brilliant

My weigh in is tomorrow, praying I have lost 3 lbs to get my next award... if not, maybe I will get it next week!

Yeah i have and it didnt suit me at all. Im trying this as its no treats and very little carbs apart from porridge or rice cakes.

It would be very similar to SW but just no syns really. Just going to try it for the 5 days this week and see how i get on. If it goes well i might try it again another week before my hols. Its just cleaner eating really. Not a huge difference from SW but just no sugar, caffeine, pasta/potatoes etc.

Haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I'm now down 1st 12lb. Would love to have my 2 stone next week. I am finding a pattern with my body. I'll have 2-3 weeks of slow losses and then a good week of 2.5-3lb loss. Wednesday was my 12th weigh in. I'm looking forward to getting my 2 and a half stone as that will take my to the lowest weight I have been in a long time. Still finding weekends hard, but even with one bad night a week the weight is still going down and I enjoy that night so much that it actually helps me to keep going. Trying the nacho style feast tonight from the magazine, apparently it's very nice.

Down 2 lbs. Delighted. I'm sure the detox is helping a little but i missed last week so that's 2 lbs since last weigh in.
Hopefully the detox will really kick in and ill get another good loss next week.

Was up a pound today. Knew before I went in I was up, didn't really eat sun/mon, I was really busy and just did not eat!! Hopefully this week I will get back on track and plan better.

Planning is so important isn't it, I'm much more structured now when it comes to shopping! 2 big shops every week, Wednesday and Sunday, no top up shops required anymore... I've become boring, predictable and HEALTHY!! Yay!

Can you change your target does anyone know? I think I was too ambitious(!)

Yeah as I understand it you can change it anytime before reaching target, but once reaching target you have to change it by 7lb!

Dolbert

Yes you can always revise your target

I was down 2.5 tonight, aiming for 1.5 next week to get my stone and a half!

Lost the plot this week letting myself eat whatever I wanted. Had bad weigh in's on better weeks. I'll need someone to hold my hand tonight

Best of luck Julie! Still at least you are going and facing the scales!

My fate awaits me tonight too lol I have 3 lbs to go till my next award, maybe a step too far to achieve tonight. Time will tell...

Does anyone know where I can pick up Mallons Garlic & herb sausages in Dublin? They are no longer stocked in Tesco and every Dunnes I try, there is nothing.

Well a 'NSV' for me today (love that phrase) I bought a pair of Size 16 trousers. This time last year I was Size 22.
I danced around the changing room. And then virtuously walked past all the fast food and cake shops, and came back to work to enjoy my chilli beef & veg. Its the little things isn't it......

Off to get my passport photos taken! I've been putting off renewing it for 3 years and now I'm finally happy enough to go get it done! Holidays were booked yesterday for 6 weeks time so hopefully I'll hit my 4 stone award before I go!
