Thanks Evilsquid - I'll try and find that post. Today I'm going to try out EE.

B: 28g WM bread, 1tsp honey, coffee with milk allowance, apple.
L: pasta with HM ratatouille (courgette toms mushrooms shallots). 1tsp parmesan.
risotto with pork escalope, steamed veg

I need to double check the syns for parmesan but IIRC its quite low.

Can anyone say how calories relate to syns? I have made my own crunchy muesli/granola with oats, seeds and dried apricots and figs. 45g is 198 calories according to the recipe - is there an easy conversion to syn this?

Anyway, better get up and to the day

your welcome! it may be back in the spring/summer thread though, but it is definitely on here.

rough guide is 20 calories = 1 syn. tbh, you might be better trying to find the syn values for the composite ingredients then dividing that by how many portions it made, will prob be more accurate.

30g Parmasan can be used as an HEA or B, which if you want to use a smaller amount works out at 5g for 1 syn.

Having a real comfort munch at the mo.
Mashed potato with a little cheese mashed into it with baked beans.
So for all intents its just about free.

This is one of my danger times for wanting to eat not so good choices.
So pleased with myself.

Well this is the second night that the boy is away and I was supposed to go with his mum to a local carvery...got all excited...and she's cancelled - gutted doesn't cover it.I don't really feel like cooking if I'm honest and feel bad ordering a take away for just me

Honestly thought I was going to be ok but I'm feeling lonely tonight - why is it hard to make friends as a grown up!? As a child it happens in school but I honestly have no idea how to make friends now I've left uni

I need to decide quick otherwise i will end up just not eating anything. Think I will just have to cook something. MEH!

Once again I have alot of reading to catch up on, looks like some great losses well done!
I finally got to my gym induction, felt so good to use my muscles, had an interesting talk with the referal instructor and as a result ...
I don't care what the scales say! While I love Slimming World, it helped me learn how to control my food, balance my diet.. it also brought me to fear muscle gain - as that weighs in more than fat does.
I used to train with free weights regularly and I didn't realise how much I have missed that. (Apart from aching everywhere today )
So gym is my body magic now, muscle tone is my aim as while I want rid of the excess I am still carrying. I really don't just want my skin holding my bones together on a diet of slow cooked diet coke and pretend milk. If I cut down my syns any further to maintain the big losses I have had, thats what I will have to be doing.
So theres the plan Hah, lets see if it works!

I've been there. Empty house, on my own while the daughter is away. What does one do with oneself - aside from listening to unpleasant voices and gurgles.
I made friends through going to classes on a night, like slimming world. But to start with - forums.
I'll never forget the loneliness. I am so lucky to have a little lass that loves me so much, fill my life with so many things to do (to the point of screaming ) when she was not around I was lost. I wandered round shops in a dazed fashion.
It's also how I gained all my weight, drink, chocolate, and feeling sorry for myself...:D

Thats not so good lush

I'm usually fine when he's away it's just today - I think it was having such an empty day (all I've done is wander round the shops for a couple of hours - and that was hard to do as its a very small, very quiet town! and go to a kids birthday party). I've not looked after the tot as its a Saturday - although it was his birthday party I popped in to. I did pop round to the boy's parents but just to drop some cakes I made them off but wasn't there long.
Now he's worried because he is away for a week in November (Monday to Sunday) so I'm trying to make him understand that I'm fine really I was just a little down as I was lonely etc. I'm fine, I know I am...but Saturday is usually our 'date night' where we have a take away and snuggle up on the sofa all night so think I'm just missing that. Plus that week I'll be working 4 days then will love having a couple of days off before he gets back because I'll be able to get things straightened up for his return.

Ah well, I get him to myself on our little caravan holiday next week *yay*. He's also promised to get me my 12stone present asap and we've decided it's going to be a bear so I have something to snuggle up with whilst he's away - other than the dog!

This is one reason I joined a group rather than just Slimming World online, but I'm yet to have any real/substantial conversations or make any connections to anyone in group. Have found the details of a local knit and natter group and a book club so I'm thinking of joining them, it will give me somewhere to go and a little bit of me time and hopefully meet a few more people.
