    Evening all - been quite good today after my binge on Wednesday. Well my Sunday morning weigh-in is looming and I do hope to have lost a least little bit!
    My eats for today have been:
    B - Porridge with mixed fruit compote
    S - 2 satsumas
    L - HM Tomato & Basil soup. 5 crackerbreads topped with tuna. Portion salad. SF jelly, mixed berries & FF yogurt.
    S - small slice swiss roll (I know, naughty, naughty!) & small bunch grapes.
    D - Smoked haddock, salad, sugar snap peas, HM wedges, slice Nimble bread. Light chocolate mousse & strawberries.
    And so far I have resisted the temptation to open a bottle of wine!!

    A very warm welcome to Jack_D, pleased to meet you!

    Sparrer - your list looks fine to me, if you were on SW then you would be doing fine - most of your food is the stuff classed as "free".


    Anyway here's mine for the day - seriously not expecting any loss this week even though I've been a very good girl until today!

    b: two boiled eggs with asparagus wrapped in salmon (1 syn for oil as the asparagus was fried)
    s: melon and nana
    l: prawns in black bean sauce with boiled rice :D - a very rare meal out with OH (5 1/2 ?)
    s: apple
    d: SW mediteranian chicken bake with courgettes and sweetcorn - and a large glass of wine (8)

    So still within points :D

    1lb gain this week. Not surprised, brioche binges and flapjack nibbling ... hopefully I will run it off next week, not going to let it put me off...

    I'm expecting a gain this week too - have been really good all week then last night ate a huge portion of chips smothered in mayo, washed down with a few beers :eek:

    Back on it today though, and weigh-in day is tomorrow so it's damage limitation from here on in.

    Well so much for my boasting last night! After posting I succumbed to a glass of wine (followed by another and then another!) and my willpower sort of disappeared along with the wine! Out came the crisps, followed by a cinammon and raisin bagel, toasted and spread liberally with butter!

    I have just put a big pan of tomato, lentil and basil soup on to simmer. I will freeze this in portions - it makes about 10 - which should keep me going a while.

    Todays menu is:
    B - Porridge with mixed berry compote
    L - Above soup and a salad sandwich in Nimble granary bread. WW fromage frais with berries.
    D - Grilled chicken (in mango marinade) with big salad and new potatoes. Strawberries and Light choc mousse.

    Trying to avoid snacks (ha some hope!) in view of weigh day tomorrow! I don't expect to have lost anything, I just hope I haven't gained!!
