Oh dear! It's hard to know what to say to that Lantanna as it's not something that would offend me, I think we're all 'on the spectrum' to an extent (I call it my Only Child Syndrome as I hate sharing, or people touching my stuff ) Their reaction suggests that you may have hit a bit of a nerve. Could you apologise for speaking out of turn and say no more about it?

No advice to offer.
Sure all will come right.

Syns have changed for me today - no chocolate so saving 9 syns. DH opened a bottle of wine and I said I'd have a medium glass for 8 syns! Problem was he then came in with the bottle so I had a small glass so another 6 syns! Oh well I'm well within syns overall for the week, LOL!

I went away to my parents for the weekend, so had limited control over meals.
As I stood on the scales at group I hoped for a maintain.
I was really surprised with a 3.5 lb loss

Over the moon! 36.5 lbs lost in 11 weeks

Hey,

Reporting a loss of 1 lb this week. Very surprised as I've eaten a lot of chocolate and generally fallen a bit off the wagon this week. Rubbish week and grumpy mood etc etc. What I did eat that was SW must have carried me through all the bad stuff.

Oh well, onwards...

Hello, everyone, this will be my Tuesday's menu plan..

Breakfast..overnight oats B ( ff yoghurt frozen berries )

Lunch. ,. Lentil and bacon soup Ryvita plus butter 6 syns. Banana.

Dinner.. chicken breast New potatoes, mixed veg. Clementine.

Extra 2 crispbreads inc butter 5 syns f f Greek strawberry yoghurt,
Homemade crisps ( made in the microwave )
11 syns. A milk for brews.

Evening, all - well done to all losers...

Today's plan was:

B: Cheese (HExA) omelette with mushrooms & tomatoes
L: Cauliflower & horseradish soup
D: SW Pork & leek sausage, cauliflower, broccoli, leeks, carrots & celery. Alpen light bar (HeExB).

Tomorrow's menu:

B: Cheese (HExA) omelette with mushrooms & tomatoes
L: Leek & potato soup
D: Macaroni cheese with cauliflower, broccoli & leeks, topped with tomatoes.
HExB tbc... Might be stewed plums with Greek yoghurt, or maybe another Alpen light bar.

Not sure about the SW pork & leek sausages... Definitely prefer the plain pork ones, but they might be better cooked in a casserole. I thought they had a bit of an odd taste (but not leek! ). Will eat the rest of the packet for MSE reasons , but will probably stick to the plain pork ones going forward...

Evening all.. just a quick post with the chart. Normal service will resume tomorrow.

As always if I've missed your result for last week then please give me a nudge, I really have only managed to skim read the posts as you lot have chatted so much since I last logged on

SOTW* is.... WHIPLASHY with a loss of 2.5lbs!!

Congratulations!



*SOTW is the person who has lost the most weight this week, but also had a loss or sts last week.

Right lets ignore me on the table above... I need to stop having a social life!

As expected burger Saturday was gorgeous! But I am totally ignoring syns for that... I have worked out syns for drinks and the rest of the weekends food... and finish on 47, only 12 of which were food lol. While not ideal that isn't that horrific... right? :/ Meh it was SO worth it! I definitely got lots of body magic in too! and I have no more things planned in the diary, absolutely nothing involving food or alcohol until May (at the moment....)

So I am back at it properly, my boyfriend made me gorgeous pasta Sunday night with chorizo and red pesto and I worked it out to not be too bad on syns so I've decided I really need to start using syns for nicer meals rather than wasting them on sweet treats.

I'm finishing today on 7 syns,
Breakfast - 2slices toast with biscoff (2syns)
Lunch - bubble and squeak with tin tomatoes
Dinner - homity pie with extra leek, carrot, swede, tomato, and tender stem broccoli and beans on the side
snack - hi fi (3) chewing gum (0.5), an oreo thin (1.5) and a most of a punnet of strawberries <3 and muller light

Tomorrows plan is ....
Breakfast - bacon, scrambled egg, and the rest of the tin tomatoes
Lunch - pasta, onions and peppers with red pesto (syns... not sure how many yet) got a taste for it now...
Dinner - fanta chicken (we prefer fanta to coke....)

Hope your antibiotics sort things out for you, Lizzie.

Well done for losses, Whiplashy, Lois, mrs motivated, att, shiprob, Msm and Cazza.

Congrats on being our SOTW, Whiplashy. Thanks for the chart, shala.

It’s the expected +1lb for me today. And I am now officially in birthday mode so first meal out was tonight with son and family. They couldn’t manage tomorrow for the real deal, so it’s back out tomorrow with daughter and her family (they couldn’t manage tonight!). I’ll be back out on Friday with friends. I think I need to wire my jaws on Wednesday & Thursday!

We caved catastrophically against England, Whiplashy, but managed to beat Ireland, for a change.

I agree with Tete, that we’re all somewhere on the autistic spectrum, lantanna. For me it manifests itself with my obsession with being on time, knowing exactly where I am when travelling (I love those flight path trackers on planes) and in having to have particular matching pegs for hanging washing. So I wouldn’t be offended by the question.

completely forgot to say.... Happy Birthday for tomorrow greentiger!

I've had a really bad couple of days. Yesterday I couldn't resist a roll packed with cheese and then today went to a lovely nursery for a friends birthday and ate a large cake with butter icing and cream. Think my weigh in on Wednesday is going to be sad.
Well done to every body else with their journey.

Tammy don't let the wheels fall off - you still have today to do damage limitation. The cake sounds delicious

Ooh happy birthday Greentiger! And I wish my obsessiveness manifested itself in being on time - I'm always late for everything.

Well done for SOTW Whiplashy, and thank you Shala!

I'm the same as you Pixtotts - lost a bit, gained a bit, and back where I started at the beginning of the challenge. Not sure I have enough time between now and weigh day (Fri) to achieve a loss this week but I'll try.

I've a feeling my muscles are retaining water as they heal from the race on Sunday (I really am aching all over - hills and gales and distance! Yoga last night has helped but not a lot.) because I didn't even need the loo when I woke up this morning so I've just downed a pint of water and will have another after this.

Today's plan is:
B - Mixed fruit and Greek yog as yesterday, with chia seeds
D - TCC Chicken, leek and sweet potato pie with a boiled egg
T - Spag bol
HEA - Milk
HEB - Chia seeds
Syns - Yoghurt (1), sugar in coffee (4), and probably an extra coffee to take to class tonight (3 for sugar and milk)

Really need to get my bum in gear and do some batch cooking this week as I'm eating my freezer stash as quickly as it's going in there like some sort of really boring Pac Man, existing on the same meal for four days before making something else. Tell me your favourite freezable recipes please!

And have a lovely day all, beautiful sunshine in the NE!

Thanks for the chart Shala.

I'm incorporating 2 days of the 5.2 diet until I go on my holiday in a bid to get something half decent off. I will let you know how I get on.


Today is my first 500 cal day or fast day whatever you like to call it.
