Just back from WI and 4lb on! I can't blame anything or anyone but myself - I just seem to have lost all motivation and have gone back to old ways of stuffing my face even when I'm not hungry.
My consultant asked me was I willing to try Success Express for a week so I'm going to give it a go :eek:
I've never tried this before though I know that it's 2 thirds superfree and 1 third free per meal. Any suggestions for meal plans and snacks would be very welcome - PLEASE!:)

Afternoon all

Today the local youth health service came to chat to my work kids (16-21 year olds) about healthy eating. They have been eating carp all day every day so I felt they needed some official pointers. They eat pasties/crisps/sweets/donuts etc for breakfast :eek:. And drink full fat coke/energy drinks all day long too. The nurse got them to write down everything they ate yesterday, and bar 3 who had sunday dinners, no-one else (9 of them) had any fruit or veg! Awful. I must admit I showed off with my super healthy day yday :rotfl:. The nurse also had the blocks of fake pounds of fat, so it was great to have a visual aid to help my weight loss .

Green day for me, but barely had time to eat much today cos I was so busy!

B - oats (HEB), FF yog
L - pasta, HM SF tomato sauce, cheese (HEA)
D - HM SF celery soup, WM bread (HEB), LF marg (1syn)
Snacks - HB egg, crisps (5syns), kitkat (5.5syns)
Drinks - fruit tea, coffee, squash, water

Total syns = 11

TBH I don't want the crisps or kitkat but need some syns and need to eat stuff up from my cupboard before I move in a few weeks.

Need to add a few syns.

Had an extra 21g of cheese with dinner (3 syns) and a teaspoon of oil for my chips (2 syns ), plus a splash of milk in my omelette (1 syn )

Total for the day so far is 6.5 syns.

Will have a kitkat later if i'm hungry, am stuffed from dinner right now though!

Shopping alert, not sure if this has been posted already but Asda have the fridge packs of Heinz beans for £1 and the cathedral city lighter for £2 a pack. Stocked up yesterday:D

Welcome back Guns! To add to your shopping alert, when I buy a big pack of cheese I cut it into smaller chunks, keep one chunk out and put the rest back into the freezer (the Cathedral City have a resealable pack which is handy). That takes the temptation away - the temptation to just nibble and nibble. It also means it doesn't go off cos you are using it so slowly! If you were really really organised I guess you could weigh out 42g chunks in advance.

Hi all. I have followed this thread for a very long time and am inspired by you all. I did SW a few years ago and lost 3 stone. But over time this, plus more has crept back on. Now feeling bad about myself and my health. My downfall -- wine, cheese, large portions and lack of movement!!. I hope you dont mind me joining you. I would love to lose at least 2 stone before september if that is possible. I am retired a year now and i think this has not helped with weight loss. I have become very lazy! Maybe if I join with you all instead of lurking it will help - especially with a boot to the rear. Annie6
