Vixie Pixie i love you lol

saw what you said about lager shandy, i usually drink wine but still can drink lager so headed straight to asda lol

they have 2 ltr bottles of it for 48p !!! so i got 6 lol

had a taste and its not too bad, will certainly help my cravings for a drink on an evening even if i have to sit and drink a full bottle like i would wine
and its freeeeeeeeeeee lol

son says but you wont get drunk and i said i dont think its that, its more the boredom and feeling the need to a drink to curb that lol

Aw shucks... lol

Its fab isn't it!! I'm going away for my mum's 50th next week so i have bought 2 of the 6 pack cans to take away with us (they are mine all mine!!! ) I'm not a big drinker anyway but i do like to partake in the odd pint of lager (or 4! hehe)

All i need now is a free cider and I'm away Unfortunately Jacques Fruits de bois Cider (my absolute fave!!) is 7 syns for 250ml!!!! I drink at least 2 bottles of it when i have it!!!!!

EDIT - i have just calculated that a whole bottle (440ml) of Jacques is actually 12.5 syns!!!! So thats 25 syns in one sitting!!!!! EEK!

What is "anise"?? Thank you!:)

Anise is the original of "aniseed" - you find it in jars in the spice aisle.

hmmmmmm.....well i think it's safe to say I'm having a flexible syns day! I've learnt a valuable lesson though.....I slipped back to my calorie counting days and for lunch today I only took salad with a bit of ham and a boiled egg, nothing with it to fill me up. By the time I left work, trekked around morrisons and drove home I was STARVING and was attacked by a cheese sanwich, crisps and a cake, ontop of the brownie and fairy cake I had at work this morning I think I've blown it for today!! Trouble is I have to cook tea dead late 2 days a week as OH doesn't finish work till 8.30pm then he has a 40min drive home so it's a long time between lunch and tea.....must get more organised for next time!!!

Anyway.....

Tomorrow is another day and I'm planning my food now and it's looking like a green day:

Breakfast - marion's rice with mixed berries, pear and natural yogurt
Lunch - jacket pot & beans
Snack - ryvita & laughing cow (HEA&B)
Tea - turkey lasagne (HEB + 5syns) & salad. I might do a few SW chips too if I'm hungry.

Well done on the size 14 jeans :T I can still remember when I was shopping for a suit I took a size 16 skirt into the changing room and it was too big. I took it out to get a smaller size and the young lad at the desk said "no good" and I practically cried when telling him I needed a smaller size. Such a fantasic feeling especially as I hadn't been that size since I was a teenager [ was in my 30's at the time]. You can imagine how I felt when I hit a size 12 :rotfl:

Food today

B - weetabix [bs] milk [a] coffee

L - mug shot [tom & herb] babybel [a] muller

T - noodles, stirfried veg, oxo

Snacks - apple, pineapple

Syns - :o:o:o:o big fat zero :o:o:o:o

today ive eaten
brekkie - 1 plain wholemeal toast 1 bacon 1 poached egg 3 cherry toms
lunch - yesterdays leftovers - pasta chicken and veg - was originally cooked with olive oil so 1 syn - dish of melon
dinner - mixed salad half a huge sirloin steak thinly sliced new potatoes with ff horeseradish mayo - 10 syns
snack - toffee mullerlight

does this look ok please ?

im thinking im going to stick with my ff versions of some things to begin with and see what happens by synning them
if i dont lose then will have to re think it - does anyone else do this or do you all have low fat or fat free stuff

have made a big pot of bolognaise sauce for tomorrow in a sw manner - drained fat of mince and dry fried the veg - carrots celery onions yum !!

~daisy~_2

also if you make a lasagne - what do you use for white sauce ?
i keep reading about quark on here - how does it hold up on cooking pls ? is it like low fat yoghurt that you have to be delicate with or it can split ?

Hi everyone

hoping for a bit of advice from you all, i ve followed this thread since i started sw about 9 weeks ago but i normally post on the wedding board (getting married Dec 2010) and ive managed to lose 1st 6lb and tonight i got my 10% award.

When i first started i have to admit I found the ee plan quite easy but as the weeks have gone im finding it more of a struggle and my weightloss has slowed to 1/2 to 1lb a week. How does everybody get on with the plan long term, i know the plan works but i think ive just hit a rough patch and im not sure how to get out of it. I keep getting told that I can lose between 1 and 4lb a week.

I dont know weather to start a food diary again (though im really good with this), try red/green days, concentrate on more superfree or superspeed, or to just keep plodding on. i now exercise 3 times a week and that makes me feel better in myself but doesnt seem to have an effect on the scales.

Thanks
