Morning all! Somehow I've got away with just a 1lb gain - I weighed myself on Monday and have lost 2lb since then somehow despite eating non-stop. A STS or a small gain almost annoys me more than a big one when I've been really off-plan because I think if I'd just had a bit more self-control it would have been a loss.
Never mind. Onwards. Going to make a plan and a shopping list like I said I was going to the other day :wall:Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -
Well it's showing a loss of 1lb but that is not a true reading really as I don't weigh until Sunday. Next Friday will be better hopefully.
I hope everyone else has done ok,if not, keep trying.:T:T:T0 -
Wiz - well done a lb loss is good. Just need to keep within your syns this week. If you go to pieces over the weekend, tot up how many syns you've had and then reduce over the rest of the week.
I usually have most of my syns at the weekend and then rein it back during the week. It seems to work most of the time. This week using my syns properly I only managed a STS, which is annoying.
Sorry to hear you've broken your arm FE. How did you manage that?
I was going to do a Green day today but want a fish pie for dinner tonight and there just isn't enough fish in an HEB to make is worthwhile so having an EE day today.
B - mushroom omelette
L - beanburger, fried up potato, pitta (HEB), salad - lettuce,cucumber, tomato
D - fish pie - salmon, smoked haddock, white fish & prawns; will also add some peas & spinach
Syns - cheese sauce 4 syns; weekend wine:D
Will be over syns today but was under yesterday so still have a couple in hand.

Afternoon all
My tummy seems to have settled down again today. Had a good night last night, decided against the LPD and wore a skirt with elasticated waist - I got up from my seat not realising the hem was under my foot, and I nearly pulled it down! Dinner was SW friendly - melon and ham to start, steak, roast potatoes and veg (I gave most of the roasties and 1/3rd of the steak to DH) and banana split with squirty cream and ice cream (which DH also got).4lbs loss for me, I'm stunned as I really haven't stuck to the plan very well because it's been a super-stressful week at work.
But, I've eaten crisps and chocolate embarrassingly often at night, so 4lbs loss is a very happy surprise.
Great result - imagine what it could have been without the crisps and chocolate! You are allowed to eat them, did you calculate the Syns? It may be that you were still within your Syns. I don't know what your starting weight is, or whether you're male or female, but did you know you get more Syns if you're over 16 stone and even more in you're male?A gain of 1lb for me
Take care Flat Eric.
That's not as bad as you were expecting, how are you doing with regard to your target?
Sorry to hear about your arm FE, how did it happen?lushlifesaver wrote: »I need to go on a bit of a spending fast too - I'm thinking this week will go something like:
breakfast: need to break away from heb every breakfast! so maybe heb shreddies (35g?) with milk from hea and an apple on really busy days. scrambled eggs with ham and baked beans when I have a little more time
snacks: hard boiled eggs, seafood sticks
lunches: salad (tuna or chicken with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper) or soup (cauliflower and horseradish or leek and potato)
evening meals: this is where I need to think and probably have something different to the others; omelette, more soup, baked fish with jacket potato and salad
syns: hot chocolate of an evening (2/3), 5 for a biscuit after lunch at work, other available for mayo/sauces with evening meals maybe
How are your tummy issues Lush?
Looking at your menu your evening meals don't seem very substantial, are you eating enough?
Have a good day everyone.

Hi everyone
STS for me this week please which I am happy about as I have been less than angelic againnnn! Hoping to behave myself this week though and get a loss on Wednesday (although having a night out with my mumma on Tuesday which is always a good idea the night before WI isn't it?! :rotfl:)
I went top up food shopping today in slightly tighter than comfortable trousers and boy it did wonders for the willpower I sailed straight past the choc and biccie aisles, totally doing that again
Well done everyone who lost this week :T0 -

Thank you for thinking of me they seem to have settled down somewhat - no real pain now which is a relief.
I struggle with evening meals if I'm honest. I can't even remember what I used to have the first time I did SW and I'm often not that hungry as I often eat my lunch quite late (often almost 2pm by the time I actually eat). And I'm also not drinking enough - I think my body is just used to an almost permanent state of dehydration now which isn't good at all!
I'm going to look through my 100 extra easy days book and see if I can get inspired
I've picked up a couple of small yogurts in morrisons - the good and eat smart fat free natural yogurt. I need to find the syns of them - can anyone help?************************************

I wonder whether any of you could help me. I attend SW after a few years "off" when I went before it was green and red days now it's all altered. Don't get me wrong I have lost weight on this new one but I loved the red and green days and found it so easy. Could anyone let me no where I could get the starter pack for the red and green days. I've tried everywhere e bay, even my local S W club but I can't find them anywhere. Is there anyone out there who could help me. Thankyou.0
