    Abbafan~~If you are not at target yet why dont you change it to 10 stone (or 10 0.5 & that way you have you 3 lbs ebach way so could go down to 9 11 or up as far as 10 3.
    Food for thought.
    Well done on biggest looser :)

    abbafan~~ did my response not make sense~think it was a bit muddled :eek:

    I'm confused by the whole target thing, I've been told in 3 groups you can only change it up or down 7 lbs and that's before you get to target. It really annoyed me and I think it most unfair.


    1LB on for me on Saturday - which wasn't at all a surprise, last week was a bit of a disaster with work etc so I wasn't focused.


    3.5 weeks now until my holidays - so need to get my head down.

    Todays plan for me:
    B: Cup of Tea, FF Yog with berries
    L: Covent Garden Skinny Soup (HExB) Melon
    D: Courgetti with mushy pea sauce(broccoli, leek, broad beans and onion)
    HExA - milk with tea
    Syns - I had a sneaky piece of Oreo cheesecake made by DD in food tech. Say 10 Syns :D
    10lb to lose & keep off in 20204.5lb/10lb:rotfl:

    I've just checked my book and it depends how you read it, and whether you've set a Parsonal Achievement Target or left it to 'wait and see'.

    When I got to target before, I'd never been slim in my life and I didn't really believe I could be so I set 1 stone interim targets and then reset them each time I got there, which obviously fits in with the 7lb minimum adjustment, but I called target after maintaining for 4 weeks and I was within a few pounds of my interim which doesn't.

    I guess it depends on the consultant at the group.

    LL :)

    Eta p.s. It's interesting that SW have a minimum weight you can set as your PAT (based on height) but not a maximum.
    Start BMI - 38.7 Current BMI - 31.2 Target BMI - 26.3

    Hello all, hope you've had a good weekend. I did my ten mile race yesterday and went for a lovely big pub lunch afterwards :D I'm stiff as a board today from running into the wind, have just dropped my car off for its MOT and walked the two miles home hoping that would loosen me up a bit but no luck.

    It's not me with the Greggs lattes ATT, but I am a bit addicted to Greggs in general so maybe you were thinking of that?!

    Matron Midge - are chia seeds a HEB? Two tablespoons?

    Can anyone help with a syn value please? I've just bought some Tesco 0% fat Greek style honey yoghurt and can't find it anywhere - hope that means it's free like the Muller ones but does anyone know for sure please?

    Plan for today:
    B - Fruit mix (melon, pineapple, grapes, blueberries and raspberries - yes I know it's mostly not speed) with above mentioned yoghurt
    D - Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, onion, carrot and tomato omeletty thing
    T - TCC chicken leek and sweet pot pie

    Then I need to have willpower and not eat anymore when I come in starving from yoga at 8.30pm.

    According to the app it looks like it's 4.5 syns for a 450g pot if I've found the right one

    Think I'm leaving my group, again.........


    I'm literally paying the woman a fiver for nothing each week.


    Going to weigh myself for now on a Friday, may return again in future its just what it seems to make sense to do right now!

    That only applies to target members Denise, Abbafan hasn't reached target yet.

    Well done for Biggest Loser Abbafan. :T

    Didn't realise it was only for target members. Sorry Abbafan for misleading you.

    Thank you - it does come in a 450g pot so I guess it's that one. I'll say 1 syn then for the amount I had.
