I agree in giving the starters a miss - if you do have one go for the Brushetta al Pomodoro. Then I would have the Linguini Gamberi.

how many syns in Nutella? Might give it a go to boost my syns, but will have to put the jar back in the garage (detached from the house) otherwise its too easy to sit and eat the whole jar (750g) like we did with the last one!!!

weigh in - maintain - as I predicted

That's 12 pounds lost in the first 4 weeks.....which is good, but now I've finished the 'honeymoon' period of it dropping off, I now know the hard work begins to get the other 138 pounds off _pale_ I've even got the portions right down - ie, my lunch I'm eating is a 2/3 full small cereal bowl and some evenings, I have the same size portion so I know it's not portion size I need to think about.

I'm really glad I've discovered that I need to 'eat consciously' as when i've done SW in the past, I've just eaten and eaten and as I mostly did green days, I now see that I was eating mountains of green day food and whilst this is allowed, it really doesn't suit me if I want to lose more than a pound every couple of weeks.

Food today

b: mullerlight
l: leftover casserole with rice and mozzarella (2 xHE)
d: not sure yet!

15 syns spent on biscuits.

The only thing I'm doing 'wrong' is not drinking enough water. I don't drink tea or coffee either, so I'm going to make a conscious effort to drink more water.

Magicbeans - When I read your posts I just imagine you all bouncy and full of energy, like your posts:j:j
You sound fab and enthusiastic, I love you posts. Keep em coming they make me feel more positive (im generally a pessimetic person)

BB - a maintain is better than a gain! if you get sick of plain water (I do especially if it's not chilled) then add some sugar-free squash (not Hi-juice thats got syns) - you can have a different flavour every day! Doesn't seem like such a hardship then!
