Chowing down on a big old cardboard box springs to mind :rotfl:



Fitorbust the kitten is MEGACUTE I say call him bertie (but I'm biased as he does look an awful lot like my ex cat Dougie & I like names like that) But he does look a lot like a posh Butler with his Tux on so Jeeves would be good too (not much help am I ha ha) x x

I find the shifts difficult as well, menu planning for the entire week helps a bit. I used to take a lot of sandwiches but dont do that now (probably could if I used up some syns but have this thing about not using them up :-( ) . Pasta salads are useful for work, soups (but I tend not to find these very filling) I tried one of the mugshots the other day at work and was ok but was quite hungry by home time.

could you take the mugshots and a flask of water to mix up?
a collague of mine takes died pasta, pours on boiling water and leaves if for a while an she swears its cooked- havnt tried it but if you have water and pasta may be worth a go


I think its the word syn.... old catholic upbringing I think coming through

I think my freezer is broken:(

A few hours ago i noticed the 'freezer high temp' light on. Checked freezer, seemed ok but turned it up a bit and put the fast freeze on. Light is still on and now stuff looks like its starting to defrost:( I have loads of stuff in my freezer:(

Hi, just found this thread and found some useful tips so far.

Re-joined slimmimg world on the 5th Jan aiming to lose 25lb before 31st May.

First week weigh in lost 4 lbs! :j

Major change for me is getting up half an hour earlier to eat a proper breakfast - usually 28g cereal topped with M L yogurt and fruit instead of grabbing something like a chocolate bar or crisps at the newsagents on the way to work!

Keep up the good work everyone!

L - HM SF spicy carrot and lentil soup, 2 x HM WM bread (2 xHEB), butter (4syns)
D - Pasta Bake - 2 x Pasta n Sauce, sweetcorn, beans, peppers, cherry toms, 2 x cheese (2 x HEA), salad
Snacks - small banana, pineapple, jelly (0.5syns), LF creme fraiche (1.5syns)
Drinks - coffee, green tea, NAS squash, fizzy water, water

Total syns = 6

Still have some syns left if I fancy anything after tea and the jelly snack

Hi everyone, congrats on the losses. Happy Birthday as well SkintSlimmer...

I've lost 0.5lb this week. Not the most in the world but i've been celebrating a 30th birthday this week, unfortunately not my own so it was a party and meal out with the family. Bit gutted that the meal we had wasn't that nice so i feel cheated out of my syns!!

My OH is now off work for two weeks so he'll be doing the cooking and meal planning (i hope) He's off to the supermarket tomorrow for lots of lovely SW friendly food so we should be able to follow plan easily enough - i just have to take off my control freak head for a while :eek:

i'm starting the week with a positive frame of mind anyway.. hope everyone has a good one x
