My problem is Maman that none of this ton of veg that I'm eating every day seems to be doing me any good. I suppose vitamin-wise it must be but it doesn't seem to be going through me the way I thought it would!

I just seem to be hanging on to everything I put in my mouth and the muffin-top grows daily!!!

I find that Original or Green days are far better for my bowels than EE.:o

Checking in to report todays food diary:

B - mullerlight & banana
S - peach & pear
L - homemade lentil soup (lentils, carrots, onions, 1 potato, ham stock cubes), 2 sesame ryvita (2/3 HEB), banana
S - pomegranate
D - lentil soup, wafer thin chicken, tomato, spring onion, 2 laughing cow light (1/2 HEA), peach

I'll have the remaining ryvita & laughing cow light from HEs if I need a snack later.

I'm back from a lovely trip to Leeds with my youngest. Spent a good while in Primark ( and got some good bargains!):money::money: and then adjourned to Slug and Lettuce. Had the Moroccan chicken salad and a few of DD's chips!;) Drank sparkling water:A:A.

Before going this morning I walked for 4 miles and then changed 2 beds. I am hoping to head out for another walk soon. Hopefully this will nullify the few chips and whatever syns I consumed today!

i still feel uncomfortable - my body doesn't feel like mine at the moment! So much so that a few days ago I did both a pregnancy and a menopause test. :eek::eek: Both were negative, which leaves me none the wiser.... Wish my boobs would give it a rest though - I feel like they are growing, not shrinking - and I really don't like it!:mad:

Are you bunged up from the painkillers & reduced fluids?

Welcome to the thread Ilovecakes

CH27 - Many thanks for this idea, I can only hope that this is the problem. After I read your comment I tried to think about how my 'movements' have been this week, and to be honest I really can't remember either going or not going. I think I do remember going, i think . As for the fluids, I've been drinking exactly the same as I normally do. I did have one day where I felt that I was getting the gall stone pain that I used to have and I did feel quite bloated at the time too, so maybe I was bunged. This morning when I checked the scales it said I have put on 0.25 of a lb, so I think that being off the painkillers for 2 days has helped, so hopefully tomorrow might just be a STS instead of the 2lbs that it was during the week, actually at the beginning of the week it was 2.25lbs so it was 0.5 more that what I had weighed the week before.

Anyhooo sorry for the waffle, but hopefully being off the painkillers and the fact that the swelling has reduced and I seem to be on the mend will have sorted out the problem and the best I can hope for is a STS tomorrow, at least its better than a 2lb gain.

Tomorrow I am going to Matalan to buy some new clothes as mine are starting to get baggy round the bum :T, but not round the belly :rotfl:

If I sts/gain this week I SHALL be blaming Andy Murray! i got so stressed last night some wine accidentally fell into my mouth.....;);)

I may be meeting up with someone i haven't seen for years tomorrow... This may involve a trip to Betty's....:o

I loved Betty's when I visited York for a couple of days, I had the afternoon tea and still managed to lose 1lb ! Enjoy x x

so it's back to basics for me today - I printed out the sample menu from the website and will tweak it a bit according to what I like/have in the house and hope that I can see some movement on the scales this month. I'm going to Scotland at the beginning of August for my Mum's 70th (just for a long weekend) and I have a Mother & Daughter Makeover and Photoshoot booked. She doesn't know I'm coming or about the photoshoot so it would be nice to lose a few pounds between now and then.

B - bowl of watermelon; slice of toast, 2 fried eggs (in Frylight); bowl of salad with 1 tblspn light mayo (2 syns)
L - baked sweet potato with 45g grated mozzarella, baked beans & coleslaw with 1 tblspn light mayo (2 syns)
D - vegetable soup; spaghetti bolognese

snacks - FF vanilla yoghurt, watermelon

At this stage I'm going to use my syns sparingly just in case things start to go pear-shaped later on in the week!

Mediterranean_Mum

I completely understand you about the scales Karen. My hubby did that too and it took me a couple of weeks but now I just don't go there. They are now back in the bathroom and he's more inclined to jump on them every day than I am!
