Vixie -My hubby graciously accepts that he can have 42g of low fat cheddar -only because he loves it -that is nearly always his healthy A at night with 4 sesame ryvitas as his healthyB -he loves that he can still have that (he has an unhealthy addiction to ryvitas :eek:)

My OH is the biggest cheese fiend i know (and i know a fair few!) so i used to want to kill him when he moaned at my cheese eating! Now he hushes his mouth! :rotfl:

Oooooh chinese. Nummy nummy. We have jackets again tonight and rissolles - an old favourite my Mum used to make: mashed up sausage meat, boiled pots, onions, herbs and one egg to bind. Combine together, form burger shapes, dip in flour and fry. Have adapted slightly in that I use a box of Linda McCartney sozzies defrosted and mashed down instead of sausage meat and dip in the flour and shake off the excess, lightly fry in spray oil to get the outsides crispy and then bung in the oven to finish cooking. Think they work out around 1.5 syns each and are soooo filling and yummy. (Depends how big you make them mind you - ours has to go 5 ways And I end up with about 8 rissolles so that's how I worked it out )

Glad my OH isn't the only pest. He swung my way this afternoon when I made a gorgeous cheesy omellette and told him it was only half of one of his HExA's. He is another cheese addict!

Went to watch rugby today, only stayed for about an hour as it was too hot. Hubby took about 200 photos though [ his hobby at mo]. We didn't walk far but it was uphill on way back so pushed us a bit.

Food today

B - weetabix [bs], milk [a] coffee

L/T - mushy pea curry with peas [garden], carrot, broccoli, cauliflower all mixed in, rice. [spray oil 2 syns]

Snacks - oatie bar [3.5 syns], pineapple, muller, fibre plus bar later maybe [ didn't eat any of these as was really stuffed from curry]

Syns - 5.5 [adjusted these as didn't eat FP bar so used weetabix as hb]

Don't know what it is about Saturdays but I never seem to get 3 meals in [my choice].

Hello all, that leek and mushy pea soup sounds good, I will give that a go as leeks are one of my favourite vegetables! Whoopidoo, they did used to say back in the Jogging Days (the *ahem*ties) that a girl should never jog with her boyfriend cos the men always have to go that bit faster, that bit further - maybe the same applies to losing weight I dunno, I feel I am lucky that I live alone and thus make my own decisions about what to eat AND more important only buy stuff that's not going to tempt me, because I have no willpower if it's sitting there in the fridge :mad:. I used to be a massive cheese lover, probably still am, but I cured myself by buying low fat cheese as no-one would want to overdose on that .... imo anyway. I have discovered Mature Cheddar Cathedral Light which is by far the best of a bad bunch .... big block, cut it into blocks about 1" wide, leave one in fridge and place the rest in the freezer. That's another way of ensuring you don't eat the whole lot at one go

I've had all healthy stuff today but just poured myself a glass of red Gearing up to cooking a reduced price fillet steak in the halogen oven, and think I will just do some roasted mediterranean vegetables with it as I've already had watercress and radishes for lunch and rhubarb, ginger, melon and pineapple for breakfast. Oh I feel soooo virtuous :rotfl:

PS just added a little syn of some olive oil to the med vegetables ..... now I'm beginning to feel hungry ...

Hi everyone! I'm laid on the sofa, pretty much unable to move after walking 20 miles!!! It was seriously hard in this weather (although its not easy in any weather!!!). I've been mostly good food wise but I have had an ice cream whilst walking and an extra heb (of syns) when I got in. I think the exercise should easily make up for it though!!!

OH joined me on the plan yesterday and already is doing my head in. He always has to go all seargent major when he's trying tolose weight so now he's refusing to go above 3 syns, I'm having to fight to get him to eat his HE's. I only had 8 syns yesterday and was pleasantly full at the end of day but he was 'ooh, struggling were you? Had to have 8 syns?' And I'm saying actually I'm pleased with how I've done today it's been a good day. He can't get his head around how eating MORE will help him lose weight. I keep trying to tell him that it's the healthy stuff he would be eating more of and that he shouldn't feel hungry on this plan (which he was by end of day) GAAAAAARGH! He keeps saying no-one will lose weight eating the amount you are telling me to eat and I just keep saying er... 9 weeks, 18lbs. Argue with that! Would anyone blame me if I clobbered him today? (Honestly he is a lovely bloke in all other ways - he just always, always goes to the extreme when he tries to lose weight and then always always piles it back on again!)

If he has more syns (up to the allowed 15) he may lose the weight a little more slowly but he's far more likely to learn (and enjoy) eating in a more healthy way and therefore continue to eat more healthily when he's lost his excess.

That way, he won't have to 'go on a diet' ever again One to two pounds a week is the ideal weight loss too, so you're doing really well, keep at it :T
