Is your sone looking to lose weight too, or is he coming along for support to you (or the other way round;))

Good luck to you both on SW anyway.

My son has gained quite a bit of weight during the past year, so I thought it would be a good way to get him to make some better choices, and to feel like he wasn't alone doing something about it. My weight has always fluctuated, and I'm back to a heavy weight again now, having lost a couple of stone last year. I want to find some way of taking it off permanently, and fitting it into a 'real life', rather than having meals/food compromised constantly by rules and calorie counting.

Well, today has been fine so far. I'm concerned about my amount of superfree foods some days, but I'm sure my consultant will flag it up from my diaries if it is a problem.

Plan today is EE:
B - strawberries & porridge [HEB] muller lite (1 syn)
L - plum, banana, mixed salad, wafer thin ham, l/f vinaigrette (0.5 syn), l/f coleslaw (2 syns)
D - Honey glazed pork (1 syn), with stirfry veg & rice

The pork chop is a bit mahoosive, but it was in a value pack from Sainsburys, and a bargain price, so I won't complain. The recipe I found online, and it's smelling divine right now. I'm cooking 3 of them, so there's going to be plenty left over, so may have some cut up in a salad tomorrow.

I am looking through some of the recipes, and making a list of the spices & ingredients I'm needing to stock up on. If food tastes wonderful, no matter how low the syns, you feel like you've had a treat in my book.

Well done to all the great losses coming in, it certainly looks like it's working well for many, which gives me the confidence to keep plugging on with the plan.

Mrs M thank you for posting your recipes, they're giving me lots of inspiration, which is great for a SW newbie. BTW, I'm not too far from Nottingham, so that SW meet up will definitely be a possibility for me!

Thanks gunsandbanjos! Will def join in here:D

Was really hoping to attend a class as I think that the terror of weekly weigh ins might be the only thing that keeps me on the straight and narrow! If anyone knows if it's possible I would love to know for sure.......

Im not sure of the answer either....Consultant31 would def know though.

As G&B said - stick around on here and we're all able to help you with the plan

As for the weekly weigh in....you could always go to Boots on a set day each week and use the machine there and get a little print out?
thats almost as good as facing the scales of doom at class if they wont let you join

Evening ladies

Guns n dizzy -have to say that the veggie cheese is bl**dy addictive :j - I have had it 3 days in a row ..only *issue* is that It makes me smell like rotting wet veg .... hubby keeps asking me when its going to stop? well its been 30 weeks so far and so I don't like his chances of a "cease fire" any time soon :rotfl:

Guns - I use that sauce to make lasagne too... we have just had a roast chicken dinner so Im thinking of using the leftovers to make a chicken n leek lasagne nomnom

Sarymclary -if you need any recipes to make things easier on your son (and you of course) give me a yell -I have allsorts
If he is ever missing pizza etc I can give you my recipe for them -I use make proper baguette dough and even though they aren't THAT low in syns, they taste like the real thing ....
oooh and NO you aren't that far away are you.... when you say Lincolnshire to me I always think "Skeggy" :T
Gizmo -I love Notts ... couldn't live there -but Im damn close

Right I will leave you all in peace for now..keep up the great work everyone :T
