    Right I need to get back on track.

    I follow slimming world to a degree after being a member a few years ago and loosing the bulk of what I needed to. After a recent holiday I really need to get back on track.

    I usually follow the thread and catch up when I can, but don't usually post.

    I was so inspired by Bubbs and the not wanting to be fat at 50, I am also 50 in November, so I decided to join the challenge and go for the 2lb a week, so 18lb in the challenge please
    I promise to read the thread and keep motivated with all your inspiration.

    It's Friday! I have tons of free and low syn meals in the fridge. Just need to make sure I eat that and NOT the chocolate like I did yesterday! On the bright side, I did manage to resist the cheesy quesadillas I made for the boys.

    Plan for today:
    B: Yogurt and blueberries
    L: Chicken curry & steam veg
    D: Chana masala, couscous & steam veg

    HEA: Almond milk
    HEB: 2 Hi Fi bars
    Syns:
    Chocolate: 5
    Chicken curry: 3
    Chana masala: 3
    Mortgage (original/ current):193,000 (23/09/11)/ £102,500 (07/11/2019)

    Welcome cat. I'm glad the challenge has inspired you. Kathrynha will add you to the list. Do post regularly. I find it helps to articulate my plans. It helps me keep on the straight and narrow.:)

    Yesterday was a good day for me plan wise. Did 9168 steps and 29 active minutes. With a planned day out tomorrow, I will definitely be half way to my silver body magic by next weigh in.

    Today will be a harder day to stick on plan, and a harder one to reach my step target, but I will try.
    Hope you manage it, what's the temptation kathrynha?

    I know the feeling tie. I tried on 3 skirts before I went out last night and all felt tight around the tummy.:(


    Today's the first day I've been completely in control of food for almost a month. I just bought a few bits when we got back on Tuesday to see us through the week so today I'm going to do a week's meal plan and shop and get back to 'normal'.



    Today's EE plan:
    B: NAS grapefruit, HEB toast, 2 fried eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms, HEA milk for drinks
    L: JP with cottage cheese, beetroot and cornichons
    D: salmon, SW chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and sugar snaps
    Syns: weekend wine:D


    I may have something different for dinner but I know I can make the above without any shopping. Wine might be changed for gin which is a syn saving compromise.;)

    Well done kaz and bubbs .All losses count!:T

    My meal wasn't too bad at all. I had pan fried cod on a bed of samphire with roasted tomatoes and crushed new potatoes. So only syns were in oil (and the gin:o).

    Not eating out tomorrow so I'm in control. No syns in tomorrow's meals. :D
    Thankyou:D

    Ohh new thread! Sorry to hear your news Shala, hope things get better for you guys soon x

    I'm not sure what to set as a target as the school holidays are coming up and this always leads to a gain!

    I'll try 10lbs as that will get me my next 2 awards but it's really not likely.

    I'll start that with a fab -4lb off this week after last weeks gain. But I've got ladies' day at the races on Saturday and I plan on getting through a lot of prosecco!

    Was very proud today. We had a whole school picnic/tea party this afternoon and there were sandwiches, scones, victoria sponges, quiches etc and not a single morsel entered my mouth. I didn't even lick the buttercream and jam I got on my fingers when slicing the sponges! Dedication!

    I really hope this weekend doesn't sabotage me too much. Would like 2lb off next week to get my 6 stone award but not feeling entirely optimistic!
    :T:T:Tfab well done and 6 stone is brill:T:T
