Hi all..

Mind if I join in? - Been lurking on Minimins great info but its far too sparkly and dazzling for me to stay with daily

Am following EE and not finding it too traumatic so far.. Just having some inconsistencies with losses when I feel I've stuck to the plan all week, gets a little frustrating at times!

so far..
wk1: -5
wk2: +0.5
wk3: -2.5 (1/2 stone) :j
wk4: -0.5
wk5: -2.5
wk6: STS

that 4lb for my stone off seems so close but yet so far!.. doesn't help that I attend class with my sister who loses every week and says she eats all sorts!

Think I might look at portion sizes and deffo need to drink more water, hard in this weather... bought a britta jug on Amazon Black Friday so no excuse for not having any in now!

today I've had.... i'm a northerner so my evening meal is a T(ea) for me

B: bran flakes and banana
L: home made red pepper and spinach soup, 1 sm slice bread (no butter) banana
T: mixed salad, splash Italian FF dressing, jacket spud, lowlow cheese.. mullerlight yog
S: 2x rocky road hi-fi's

next weigh in Thursday..

Mich - you say you are doing EE. But your meal plan for today is looking rather green with no meat present. So bran flakes and hifi's as HEB. Milk and cheese as HEA's. Where are your syns other than 3ish in 1 slice of bread? Upto 15 a day allowed. Are you measuring your milk out to ensure you are not going over your daily quota? Were your bran flakes measured out?

Well i come into the room a bearer of bad news. After Harvester meals come well recommended as a great base when eating out with SW the chain have slightly spoilt it now as jacket potatoes are coming served with oil soaked skins :eek: Apparently when the new menu was introduced in the last week or so along came the new thing with the oil as customer feedback meant people complaining the skins were too crispy or dry. I didnt have a clue about this until my meal was brought out today, i had asked for it plain with no butter and then saw the glistening skin after almost falling off my chair asked why on earth they would do it to be told the previous and if it has not been spread across the board of chains immediately it will be spreading across over the next few weeks. Really disappointed now as felt this was one place where eating out was less of a game of syn counting and one of enjoyment.

So todays meals -
B, 2 weetabix, milk (1/2 hea) banana
L, Harvester chicken breast, jacket potato, peas and huge salad. WM roll (estimating around 8 syns to cover oil on chicken aswell as spud)
T, cheese(1/2 hea) and onion omelette. apple and in a while some melon.

I haven't checked your syns but that menu looks fine to me. if you have time then post regularly as you can get advice as you go rather than waiting for WI day.

I think the issues with consultants is about attitude and/or confidence. Some just go through the motions and follow the SW script for Image Therapy. They don't particularly care as they get their money from everyone that weighs whether they choose to stay or not. Others just don't have the skills to manage a large group of people without falling back on the script although they know it could be better. We always have a better session when there's only a very few there and everyone chips in with ideas and questions. Unfortunately the SW set up seems to work against small groups as they need loads to make it financially worthwhile.

We have had great groups with smaller numbers too.
Think the group will continue to be small til after Christmas & then group will be way too big.

Have had a dire week TBH .
Still stress city here and cannot get a handle on my eating at all.
Expecting to be over the 3lb leeway tomorrow night.

psychopathbabble

beanie i'm the same with stress and eating this week just can't stop snacking on carp this week. partly because i was so annoyed at the gain last week, and partly just fed up at work this week. hope you are pleasantly surprised.

I was working yesterday.. slim pickings there and didn't have time to make something before I went so had to make do, am usually more prepared.. (do 24 hr sleep in shifts so there a long time)

didn't weigh bran flakes, a guestimate so should start doing that.. and I don't use milk other than in cereal so don't go over on that - have black coffee and cant drink it 'neat'

today so far
B: 2 weetabix and banana (work)
L: 2 ryvita and EL philly - plum
T: chicken and pea risotto, from the 100 extra easy days book, WW toffee yog, nectarine, 2 plums
S: rocky road hifi (3) baileys hot choc on xmas market (?)

I've got a little complacent and not counting syns, am going to start filling in a menu again to keep track of them..

mich_city

dread to think how many syns were in that hot choc.. the directory says 8 for 50ml baileys.. am sure its not a full measure they give you on those stalls.. anyhow, hot choc 6 as doubt it was low cal one.. good job I didn't have cream and couldn't finish it.. far too sweet!

14 (?) syns, not worth it!

Looking at this you are possiblly not getting your 1/3 superfree in over the day. I know you are having fruit but its not enough to balance out. You need to syn the 2 ryvitas (2) if they are original ones, Hot choc would depend on whether it was made from milk or not, but on average 4syns for the baileys.

lushlifesaver

Today so far:
B: banana and 2 satsumas
L: savoury rice and veggies
S: hi fi light
T: grilled chicken breast, yorkshire pud (3syns) roasties (3 syns) gravy (2syns) and masses of veg
S: hi fi light

heb: the 2 hi fi lights
hea: milk, before bed

Going to have a chomp bar before bed cos I really want one then tomorrow will be lots of walking, good food and generally making myself keep syns down, not sure how when bf wants spag bol (ragu = 11syns per jar and he won't touch anything else!) - think if i give him half the jar (he likes ALOT of sauce) then add veggies to mine and split it in two the syns should work out at 5 for it, I don't mind it being that many as that will be them all for the day- well them and my tiny advent choc hehe

the risotto had peas, leeks, onions, celery and mushrooms in too

the ryvita were the dark rye... confused on them, the directory gives the grab and go 'B's

2 ryvita dark rye/original (f s)
4 ryvita dark rye/original (ff)

so the S is speed and the F high and FF extra high fibre.. just wondering why its different amounts

if that makes sense?
