Morning folks :hello: Finished yesterday on 8.5syns so my rear end is still firmly secured on the DizzyTank :rotfl:
I had a sneaky look at the scales this morning and hopefully last weeks pigification won't have done tooooo much damage

Today's plan
B: Rosti and eggs, ketchup (1)
S: yoghurt, banana
L: Salad, couscous, roasted BNS and red onion
S: Orange, mango
Either diet coke Quorn, new pots and veggies or egg, chips and beans.......today is my public transport day (OH has the car) and it sometimes takes aaaaaaaages to get home :mad: but I do get some Body Magic from walking

As usual I'll have my HE's for supper

At weigh in last night I lost 3 and a half pounds!

I have not lost that much since my second week of SW last September, so I'm really chuffed. I think putting on 2lbs last week gave me the shake up that I needed.

Basically I stayed on plan for 7 days and kept a food diary, so that goes to show it works.

This week I am finding the apricot and prune flapjacks very useful for an evening nibble (thank you to the recipe poster) and the SW quiche very useful for lunch at work.

Also, as many others, I have got a taste for apples - never liked them much before, so never bought them. I decided to give them another chance and now I'm crunching away merrily.

Part of last nights discussion was that strawberries make you "go" and too many bananas could have the opposite effect. Interesting!

I'm remaining firmly on that tank, your driving's fine Dizzy.

WI tonight - not really sure what to expect after my 24lb gain from my Honeymoon! I've been fairly well behaved but not 100%. Would hope to have lost something, but haven't noticed any differences at all in myself this week...

Congrats to Lucy and Blue on the great losses :j

Woot - fingers crossed for tonight, sure you will have lost.

Went to zumba again last night, its good fun and really energetic and by the end of the hour class you know you have had a good workout !!

Is artificial sweetener free? I just plonked some in my weetabix and it tastes so much better!

Just to let everyone know, i put the flapjack recipe on the recipe thread


Does anyone know what to put in cauliflower soup to make it tasty? lol

Went to hospital for x-ray this morning, the bone isn't fractured so 'spoke' to physiotherapist (i mean fill out the online form so they can call me back!:rotfl:)

Last resort if physio doesn't work, steriod injection!:eek: Like i need to bulk up!:rotfl:I am here to bulk down!

Thank you that will definitely make things more edible :rotfl:

Nessie216 - thanks, those flapjacks may not be as good as "normal" ones, but they will do for me!

I had some very tasty cauliflower soup in a restaurant and asked what herb they had put in - it was sage, so hope this helps. I've not tried making it myself yet, but it was very good.

Hello hope you don't mind me joining in I am a lurker
I've done SW many times of the years and decided 3 weeks ago enough is enough and started back to class. I decided to give Extra Easy a go having only ever done green or red and found it really good. I followed the plan exactly stayed within 5 - 10 syns each day and first WI gained 1/2 lb :mad::mad::mad: - I was fuming!!! 2nd week i emailed my consultant each day and again followed it exactly - she said my food diary was good and i lost 2lb at WI. Now I am normally used to losing at least 6lbs at this point so i am not sure what is going wrong? I am due to WI tomorrow night and i honestly feel like a beached whale. Its star week and I am really afraid to WI now because I know I will be so disheartened
Did anyone else experience a gain 1st week? I am trying so hard and yet I really don't feel like its working as well as it did previously!!
