yay managed to loose 1lb this week which is good as i not been a good girl this week

Boo hoo it's not fair I've been quite (quite!) good and I put 1 lb on, I'm getting a bit fed up now. Can't decide whether to ditch classes for a few months and go back in autumn. I would stick to the plan though, it's just I've been the same weight for weeks give or take a pound

Dont see the point in making them myself, far too much effort:D

according to minimins website they are 1 syn each, just enough to satisfy a craving

thanks for all the suggestion ladies!
Today went something like this:
Didn't manage breakfast as prefer to sleep in later when I'm on afternoon shift.
Actually, I think I forgot to have lunch too!
Dinner was a large salad with smoked salmon and prawns followed by a punnet of blueberries and punnet of blackberries and an Activia yoghurt.

A more typical day is:
B Yoghurt
L Salad with either fish or chicken. Fruit for pudding
D A 2 egg omelette cooked in a tiny bit of butter and 2 oz cheese grated in it. Fruit for pudding.
2 cups of tea, one cup of coffee (with sweeteners not sugar) diluted reduced sugar lemon squash and diet coke during the day to drink.
Horlicks Light at bedtime and a couple of times a week a Scotch which I include in my syns.

Is this not enough to make me lose weight because the only solution I can think of is that I need to eat more!
Any help most welcome.

I've been like that too. I looked at my book tonight and I've only lost 1.5lbs overall since the middle of June. One reason is that I went on holiday then had to work hard to lose it again. I'm feeling a bit bloated today and can't believe I will lose anything this week when I want/need to so much! It doesn't seem fair because I haven't been over syns this week and I've been having my SF and everything. I can see why people get disheartened and give up BUT I am going to persevere.

Keep on, keeping on;)

Well my good day ended badly with sis calling and having 3 g&ts (home poured) so about 18 syns!!!

That was a lovely healthy, balanced meal sophie but I'm sure you know one meal a day isn't enough.

I've looked at your typical menu. You need a third of your food each day to be superfree (fruit & veg). I don't think it's quite enough. Maybe a banana with your breakfast yogurt or other fruit chopped into it would just about do it. It's hard to judge whether fruit for pudding is enough, obviously today it was (2 punnets) but the odd apple won't do. You don't seem to have a HEB (Bread, crackers) and you've gone over on your HEA (milk, cheese) so the rest will need to be synned. Depending on your cheese I think you should only have 28g and you've had over 50g plus the milk in your teas and coffees.

Try reading the very first post on this thread where the plan is explained. It'll help reinforce everything for you. You'll get there!!!
