Oh my Lord I have not consumed that amount of calories!!! I have not had a take away, fizzy drink, buns/cakes, sweets or chocolate since January!!!

I have not even had any syns!!!

I am exercising for 1 hour a day and also every other day running. 2 of my classes are Body Pump with just resistant weight's as I do not want my muscles to get bigger just toned.

I am due on Monday and I am regular.

I have just had the tuna & egg salad for dinner with no afters. It was lovely. I will attempt again from tomorrow.

Do please make a point of having some syns. There is nothing to be gained by not having them and in fact it can often have the effect of slowing down your weight loss. If you don't want cakes, sweets, biscuits etc, you could have a glass of wine or even just use some up on extra gravy, sauces or a little extra cheese or bread over and above the allowances.

Thanks Consultant31

I will try and use more of my syns this week -I wouldn't save all mine for the weekend (well not unless there was a special occasion) as I want to try and get my eating pattern sorted once and for all, I don't want to get into what I call "feast or famine" -with WW I used to find that I would over eat just after weigh in 3-4 days and then have to cut right back to catch up and then almost starve for a day before weigh in ...
Thats why I wanted to try SW instead and Im only in my 2nd week -but so far Im finding it much better -pinkies crossed it lasts..

Well -we went shopping earlier and now I have things throwing themselves out of the fridge when I open it -and I have had to overflow into hubbies "beer fridge" in the basement -still, now we are all set for this week.

oohh and Im excited now as hubby has brought my Info books and the 4 cook books home today :j -I have had a flick through and spotted some nice looking things so Im going to settle and have a good read and then meal plan :A:rotfl:
Well done to those reporting in with more losses :T
Right I had better get off -have a good evening everyone

I've had a good day today and made up a new recipe for tea.

Does anyone know the syns for a weightwatchers mini chocolate stick? They're like mini magnums. I use the syn calculator which came up with 6.5 syns. Seems a bit high seeing as you can have a full fat mini magnum for 8 syns.

Here's my meals for today:

Breakfast - porridge (HEA&B) and a banana
snack - 2plums and a small pear
Lunch - salad, turkey ham, chicken & barley soup, salad cream (2 syns)
Tea - chicken thighs stuffed with garlic mushrooms and wrapped in bacon served with jacket potato, carrots, broccoli and sweetcorn and a dip made from natural yogurt, chives and mustard (0.5 syn)
Pudding - ww mini chocolate stick.

I'm full of cold so I'm quite chuffed with myself for being good. I even walked about 2 miles at work today in my full (very thick and heavy) safety gear!!!

Syns are the bane of my life, when I know theres a mad day coming up I have a fight with my head as it wants to save all the syns for that mad day. I KNOW that I'm not supposed to do it but can't help myself. Take this Friday, I am out bowling and a scampy/chip meal is included. I know this will be high in syns so want to save as many syns as possible to cover it. I don't do this every week so wouls the odd time really be bad? I have been having trouble consuming the right amount of syns in a normal week as it is, am I going about it the wrong way? Probably

Food today

B - weetabix [bs] milk [a] coffee

L - new potato with mixed salad, beans & fat free dressing. Babybel, muller

T - mash, beans, toms

Snacks - banana, apple x2, pineapple

Syns - zero again

Lisa, I asked the same question the other day. It's a bit tricky to work out because the WW mini chocolate sticks are measured by volume 45ml if I recall, and the nutrional information required by the syns calculator is grams. I guestimated by looking at the info per 100g vs per stick and I put them down as 5 syns. HTH.

Thank you for that Consultant31, I didn't realise how important the syns were.

I am really new to this and to be honest I am now really petrified of overeating!! The syns to me were a no-no!!!

Is it ok for me to post on here daily like you guys do? It would seem much better than writing it in my diary!

Well done on the 2lb off Marion! and well done to any other losers:T Farmville - I totaly sympathise with you about the gain - the week before I come on I can retain over half a stone of fluid - it's awful. I'm sure that it will come off next week - the thing that happens to me is that I get really fed up with the artificial gain and then overeat because I am fed up - mad!

Food today has been okay - I don't know about other people but I couldn't get through the day without my syns as I use them to make my meals more palatable by adding things like ketchup or salad dressing.

Breakfast - 2 wholemeal toast with cottage cheese and chives (heb)
Lunch - Baked potato, baked beans, 42g reduced fat cheese (hea)and huge green salad with 1tbs of heinz extra light salad cream (1 syn) Mullerlight
Snack - portion of the SW chocolate cake from the recipe posted on here with lower fat whippy cream (4 syns)
Dinner - tomato and onion pasta n sauce ( with 1 tbs tomato ketchup stirred in - (1 syn)with chopped green peppers, chopped red onion, chopped carrot and chopped lean bacon all mixed up together. Grilled chicken thigh fillet.
pinched a bit of DD2s easter egg - just a little bit so I will call it 3 syns.

I am just having a bottle of Shapers gala apple drink which is really nice!

I was up until after 3am trying to finish a report for work so feel really tired this evening and that sometimes means I crave sweet stuff so I will have to be really careful...

Hope you are all having a good evening.

Hi all,

I have been doing SW for a while on and off, but subscribing to this thread will maybe give me the extra support I need as my weight is yo yoing to and fro. I had the cold a couple of weeks ago and ate lots of packets of jackemans cough sweets. So, I am way back up to 12 stone again, I had been down at 11st 6. So, trying to get back on track again. I'm away with work for the next couple of days, so I'll report in when I'm back on Wednesday, not sure if the hotel will have wi fi.

Thanks to c l a i r e for putting the blog in with all the recipies, it is great and I'll be trying some of them at the weekend.

I'll start proper on Thursday after my WI.

Speak soon. x
