Hi, can I join? I started sw 5 weeks ago and it's going good so far. I have a very long way to go but feel in the right head place at the minute. Got my 1 1/2 stone sticker last night, so feeling good.

Ooh well done!! :j

Today I did EE:
Brekkie: banana, raspberries and muller light
Lunch: leftover veg chilli (loadsa veg) uncle bens's microwave long grain rice (1 syn) and 42g cheese (HEA)
Snack: 2 cups of tea (2 syns for semi skim) and a Fibre plus bar (HEB) 1 sweetie (1 syn) Diet Coke, 1 choc digestive biscuit (4 syns)
Dinner: Chicken, rice and veg. (0.5 syns for small spritz of oil)

total syns = 8.5 syns

Well done losers and welcome to all the newbies :T
Need my bed as woke at 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep so cream crackered now.

B - weetabix hot water/milk [.5a] coffee
L - 3x wm rols [3xb] l/curd [3], fruit salad, activia, c/straw [2]
T - cheesy mash [1.5a], spaggy hoops, huge tomato, 2x onions, t/sauce [1]
Snacks - none
Syns - 4
Have stood at sink and had a glass of water EVERY morning for last couple of weeks which I'm pleased with [usually only have 1 coffee all day] what I'm not pleased with is the amount of trips to the loo . Very inconvient when working in a classroom .

Might manage to stay awake for Torchwood if not its recording then beddy byes for me, night night all x x x x

Dried rice is free, boil in bag stuff is syn'd. Got oil in I think. Same with fresh pasta too.

I checked in my food directory, Uncle ben's microwavable rices have syns, i guess it's due to oil in it, as takeiteazy said. Same goes for straight-to wok noodles, as opposed to dry ones. They put stuff in the packages to keep it fresh and cook quickly, I guess that's why it's synned as opposed to dry noodles and rice which is free

Ugh just remembered, I'm going to a work do tomorrow night.... There will be alcohol so I'm planning on sticking to single spirits and diet coke.
I've also been told that food will be provided but I have no idea what!!
I had planned a green day, with fruit and yog for brekkie and a potato and baked beans at work in the fridge.
But would it be better to have a EE day with more fruit and veg if I might have a synful evening????

Hello everyone :wave:

I'd like to join in with you, hopefully posting will get my motivation back on track. I first started SW about a year ago now, and originally lost two stone, taking me within a stone of target. In June, uni got hectic and I didn't have time to go to group, but I kept plodding on, much slower but slowly getting there. After Uni, OH and I moved in with his parents while we buy a house.

Always knew this would be hard for slimming, they always have a lot of non-SW friendly treats hanging around that are in my mouth before I register I've picked it up. OH does all the cooking so that works, but syns have been through the roof and in the last month I've gained nearly a stone. I saw myself in the mirror earlier and I looked exactly the same as a year ago when I started. I'm ashamed I've let myself slip this far this fast. No more. Back on plan now! :j

WELCOME - Try not to beat yourself up over putting the weight back on. Draw a line under the past and start as if it's your first week. Do you go to a group? There's always plenty of support here and loads of recipes on the first page of the thread. Just ask any questions you like and someone will be along to help. x
