Morning:D

I know i shouldnt weigh between weigh ins...... but i do. I actually weigh myself every morning as i find it helps me stay on track. Well this morning my scales had a 9 at the front:j:j:j:j So happy.

Green today for me, quick question though. I'm making spag bol with extra lean mince instead of quorn - dont mind quorn for chilli but dont like it for bolognaise, not sure why?
Anyhoo, will be using the mince as my B choice. How should i work it out? As the mince will be in the sauce i know i get 71g cooked so should i weigh out about 100-120g of mince in sauce? I suppose its not the end of the world if i'm a few grams out either way!

Well done on getting into a new range/bracket. It's a lovely feeling! What I'd do with the mince is portion it up after it's cooked. So, if you had 500g of mince and made 10 portions (e.g.) then each time you got one from the freezer it'd have your HE/syns ready measured. I reckon that 500g would be about 7 portions to make it about right for green days.

On the HE question Owl, I'd just forget about it. It won't do much harm just this once. We had a stand-in consultant once who said you could ignore HEs if you wanted. When you think about it, they're really syns that are built into the plan to ensure healthy fibre/fat/calcium etc and there other ways of getting those (sardines, green veg etc).

Been for my first WI since target 2 wks ago and pleased to report a 1.5lbs gain. It feels strange being happy with a gain but I have had quite a few treats in the past fortnight. I'm going to do my meal plan later and will try to eat SW all week to keep on track.

Today's EE:

B: NAS squash, HEB toast, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried egg, HEA milk for teas
L: probably sandwich and fruit
smoked haddock, mash, peas and probably more mushrooms and toms

Morning all!
Well done to all the losers - some big losses this week!
Especially well done to Guns - seeing the "9" for the first time is a fab feeling isn't it! Mine's gone back to a 10 now but it will hopefully be 9 something again very soon!

I have visitors for the next 3 days and am trying really hard to stay 100% so I can lose in my first proper week back at class. But Mum is a proper food devil and thinks she's on 'holiday' when she visits and goes a bit bonkers.
So it will be a struggle but I'll do my best.

I'm sure that they'll want to go for tea so until then no syns.....
Breakfast - banana
Lunch - reduced fat houmous, cucumber, carrots, mullerlight, strawberries

Tea - who knows!
