Well done Lisa! :T

Thanks Consultant, it's all gone now so no more naughty stuff in the house. Just got to resist the SW stuff in excess! Will find a piccie for my fridge tomorrow!

not wrote on this one before but wrote on the last thread.
couldn't log on for days as i couldn't remember my password!
Anyway just wanted to thank everyone who comes onto the threads and contributes.
you inspired me to start SW 7 weeks ago, i only do EE days, having not done SW before found this very easy.
Last night i reach 1 & 1/2 stone weight loss. I've got 3&1/2 to go but feel i can do this now.
thanks again

I have just been given a ginormous tin of heroes, from a colleague at work, what the hell am I going to do with them. I will share obviously with my colleagues, but once they are open I have no self control.........I also have a pencil slim colleague who will insist on them being opened asap

after saying no more syns for me yesterday i went out for a mexican..oops! i had bbq ribs, honey and mustard chicken (left most of the skin) corn on the cob and a few potato wedges! going to have to be really good for the rest fo this week!

frankie - can you factor some into your syns (2syns each I think)? Or put them somewhere you don't often go or a colleagues desk?

Hi there,

I hope you are getting on better now Skint Catt - you have been very encouraging to others on here and it would be a shame to undo everything.

As everyone says, you should be ok for next weigh in, given that some losses take a while to show - eg an extra week.

One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that sometimes when I am really thirsty (and have not drunk nearly enough water at work), I crave chocolate - I can put away 3 bars/packets easily. But I think its actually because I am dehydrated. I often forget this until I have devoured the choc and then still feel like I need something else and its a drink that really satisfies me.

It sounds really simple, but quite often I dont make the connection. I happened last night at the station on the way home.

Doh. Today is another day though. Roll on me sorting myself out!

Thanks - yes back on it today though I have promised OH a takeaway in front of Children in Need tonight - so a mushroom biryani for me (11.5 syns) and lots of water & melon until then!
Gorgeous sunny (and actually quite warm) day here today though I feel for anyone that's had the floods - hope everyone here is ok & dry!

Sophster - I think yo are spot on with the dehydrated thing. The weeks I do best are when i drink lots of water. At first I put it down to filling up with water and not eating enough but then when I looked at what I ate, my 'proper' foods were the same and I just wasn't sneaking in the odd chocolate bar or naughty thing.

I have decided to have a new plan and use a HEA & B for breakfast and the same for lunch, then just syn value anything I have for dinner that isn't free. I find that I scrimp for breakfast and lunch saving for later but then pig out.

I just had cheese and tomato toastie for brekkie.

ohhh C, enjoy your biriyani tonight! I had a king prawn chop suey & rice last night, so have had my takeaway already lol!

Have been stickng to plan 100% againt his week. My welcome letter from my consultant says "enjoy 15-20 syns a day" , but i usually stick to a max of 15, but this week I have gone slightly over soem days (and under on others). Im still classing it as 100% though, as it does say I can have up to 20 (Im a big lass, i guess thats why I am allowed more - consultant can you confirm this?).

Skint_Catt

Whoop! 20mins done on the cross trainer (102 cals). Having a rest & a drink then will try to do at least 20 more mins to earn my biryani tonight!

Oh hope you enjoyed your chop suey. Yes, I've heard that some get extra syns but I'm sure Consultant will confirm. To be honest it's quite a good thing as you'll be able to reduce if you ever start to plateau. I struggled to get below the stone I'm heading for again, so I hope the exercise will see me through!

Edited; just done another 20mins on the Cross Trainer and my knees are shaking now! Another 109 calories gone - so bring on the curry!
