    Afternoon :)


    Busy busy today.


    A hotch potch of food so far:


    Overnight oats, an apple, a mugshot, some leftover cottage pie (2 + 1/4 HEXA), some potato/leek/bacon soup, some carrot sticks, beef space raiders (3). Strawberries in the fridge if I'm hungry later, here til 4.


    Tea is chicken supreme with cauli rice and SW chips.


    Why is it I'm always STARVING when I get back on plan? I'd never eat that volume when I'm off...

    My weekend wasn't totally off plan. Hotel breakfasts (fruit, toast, egg, beans ,bacon, mushrooms) were fine although bread may have been just brown and there's always some oil. I had a couple of JP lunches and some steak and salad but I had lots of off plan stuff too including very many wine syns:D.


    That's impressive food optimising where it was possible. Given the option of hotel food I would not have been able to be so refined :)

    Doesn't matter if you eat loads, as long as it is free and speed food.
    I think sometimes when we have eaten badly, especially sugar, when you then don't eat it you get cravings, and when you are being good you can just feed those cravings, but with healthy stuff, therefore you tend to eat lots.

    Good morning slimmers :)


    Another on plan day planned for today (although I did have a sneaky cider, then a vodka last night, so 13 syns :o but still well within for the week).


    B - Strawberries and a banana (wasn't hungry so picking at them at work)


    D - Chicken, ham, new potato and boiled egg salad, carrot sticks. I have some potato, leek and bacon soup too.


    T - Bacon and mushroom carbonara


    HEXA - Parmesan in tea (is it 30g?)


    HEXB - Ryvita minis or alpen lights


    Does anyone know what the low syn options at TGI Fridays are please? Going on Saturday night for my goddaughter's 18th. I know I can have steak and salad at a push, but am not fancying that right now...

    Hi everyone

    Checking in with a 1lb gain bah! That Easter bunny has a lot to answer for :rotfl:

    Straight back on it though, normally have an off plan day when I weigh myself but I feel more positive this week so instead of stuffing my face, I ate properly and did a weights workout :eek: think I have found my motivation at last :D

    As well as following SW I'm also giving tracking my calories a go using myfitnesspal and I have to say it's working really well for me. I feel like lately I'm needing the extra discipline of restricting calories so I don't go overboard and binge. So we'll see how that goes .. day 3 so far!

    Hope you all have a good day
