Congratulations to everyone whos lost this week, 8.5lbs is fantastic. Ive got my first weigh in tomorrow and Im a bit worried about it. I've faithfully stuck to plan all week and judging from previous attempts at SW this usually results in 1-1.5lb loss as Im not one of the fast losers. The problem is it is now TOTM which I know will show on the scales, possibly as a gain, which will be really embarrassing for the first week and short of announcing it to the whole class Im not sure what to do!

Nobody finds out how much you gain/lose (unless you want them to of course!) and so if you do gain and your consultant tries to find out why, especially as it is your first week she may be wondering in case you didn't understand something in the plan, perhaps just quietly mention it to her. Nobody needs know that you gained apart from her anyway!

Hi , have had a good day, after last nights fiasco. for tea im about to cook a pork steak, SW chips and a mountain of suger snap peas, asparagus and broccolli. for pud ive saved a vanilla choc muller lite.

Angie - thats great news re becoming a consultant, I think you'd be great as you always give good advice and seem to know the plans inside out, hope it all goes well for you.

Jemmabe - could you maybe make the egg custard recipe from a few pages back , with your left over eggs? I know you said you didnt like eggs but im sure that will taste yummy rather than eggy, will also be a good treat for you.

can I also ask where you all buy your extra lean mince from? I looked in Morrissons today but they had none that I could see. I usually shop in Asda but can get to Mr T's also. I use mince all the time as the kids love spag bol and meatballs etc.

I get mine from Tesco - £2.99 for a 500g pack. Sometimes it's a bit watery though... I tried Sainsbury's and it was horrible, really rubbery. Asda's is quite nice, and I've never seen any low fat enough in Morrisons.

I thought I'd post my eating plan for the day, as I'm dangerously tempted to syn too much.

B - bacon, low-syn (.5 each) sausage x 2, tomatoes
L - Jacket with cheese (HEb) and salad
D - Asda GFY Tikka Masala (4.5 syns) and rice

Snacks - banana, WW yogurt, cherries, dark hot choc (1.5 syns), tea (milk=HEa).

Hmmm... went for a very long walk today, which may explain the munchies. I may need something more - the pot of houmous I have in is tempting, but I know it won't be filling.

Just wondered if anyone knew the % fat for extra lean mince (beef), I have some frozen mince at 6% fat, and wondered how this would be classed?

I have had a wander on the website, and I think it might be this, although mine is called 'light choices' steak mince

They usually say '5% or less' so I reckon your 6% is near-enough there

Oh well things didn't exactly go to plan today...

ended up having a big row with dh, which resulted in me going to bed for a few hours then getting up and gobbling down a bag of crisps and 2 (yes 2) mars bars:mad: instead of my nice healthy lunch.

I still had the chicken curry for dinner, and as it was korma it was split between the 4 of us, so about 6 Syns for me there and 5syns for the crisps. Haven't synned the mars bars - yet! But I have obviously gone well over.

Mars Bars - 12 Syns each - so 35 Syns in total for me today.....

I made the beef wraps for tea tonight and they went down a storm! I cooked them under the grill and let most of the fat coming off them drain away so hopefully that will save me a few syns. Whats wierd was I put a fair bit of fresh chili in them and couldnt taste it once cooked!

Today I had...

Green
cheese roll (A&B)
hifi (b)
swede mash, peas & quorn sausages (all free)
mullerlight with bits of christmas cake crumbled in - I'm allowing 4 syns I think. It was a lovely way to enjoy cake, must remember it for next year!

Hope everyone else has had a good weekend!
