Morning...well I think it's still the middle of the night really...no one should have to get up at this time :rotfl:
So day 3 of 4 shift wise. A few quiet days for a change! Yesterday I found myself blooming starving though by the time I got home, don't think I ate nearly enough, so am prepared today. I had my normal foods yesterday, so don't know what was going on, so have made a salad last night to take, along with a Batchelors savoury rice, free cottage cheese, ham, fruit...you name it, it's there!
Thank god for the frozen batch cooked meals when I got in, otherwise I know I would have just grabbed something, no matter what it was.
Talking of which, I better go get one out of the freezer for tonight!
Have a good day everyone x

Evening all and a big congratulations to Nessie & Mr Nessie :j:j:j:j

Got a humungus butternut squash [cost nearly £3 :eek:] from Mr T [must remember to put price limit next time] so will be having BS soup coming out my ears :rotfl:

Thanks everyone - got the leaflet from my consultant last night - it looks like i just up my healthy a & b by 1 each until breastfeeding which is definately doable!

I have a recipe for SW pumpkin pie if you wanted to use part of your squash for something other than soup

16oz (450g) pumpkin (cooked & mashed)
1 medium egg
1tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp pumpkin spice (1.5tsp cinnamon, 0.5 tsp ginger, 0.25 tsp allspice, 0.5 tsp nutmeg)
1 level tbsp honey
1/4cup sweetener (6tbsp)
Frylight

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
Mix all together
Spray tin/dish with frylight & put in mixture
Bake for 50-60 mins (or until knife comes out clean)

Good morning all, interview number four today! Have to say the most ideal one to get would be the one from yesterday but this one sounds like a lot of fun even though it's not permanent.

Today:
Breakfast: toasted wholemeal roll (1HeB) half with baked beans, half with 1/2tsp jam (1syn), satsuma
Lunch: thinking a poached eggs on toasted wholemeal roll (2HeB) once back home, fruit
Tea: grilled chicken topped with a little tomato puree, bacon and cheese ('pizza chicken') served with veggies and probably some smash for me and oven chips for bf - would have chips and syn them but I'm not convinced our scales are right, as I've said before, so don't think so!

Think I ended up over syns slightly yesterday because of a couple of cheeky segments from a chocolate orange so going to try and stay at 8-10 for a little while whilst these craving pass (think it's due to the back end of *week).

So syns today:
jam in my breakfast - 1syn
hot choc later on - 2 syn
and maybe a spack of those special k biscuit moments - 5syn

Speaking of them - anyone else tried them? i got the strawberry ones on offer at Tesco for 99p a box and someone who works with bf sent him home with some choc ones for me. they're so nice! A bit like pop tarts but not so sickly/toothache-y

Really hope you manage to get at least one job offer from all these interviews, you certainly cant be accused of not trying

Hello all :hello:

First of all, have only caught up on a few pages but congrats Nessie! :j

Back from my course, and although it went well I didn't have much choice over food and since it was in Belgium there was much consumption of chips and mayonnaise, waffles, chocolate and beer (even though I don't drink beer!). Tbh I didn't mind too much that I knew I'd gained, and I didn't get back on it until yesterday even though I got back on Fri night. Anyway, was expecting about 6lb gain so was quite pleased when it was only 3.5 - I was good the week before I went and it is * week too so am fine with it. Best thing was that since I've lost 4+ stone I felt good when I was there - didn't feel like the fat one and the plane seat belt had a fair bit of slack on it - could only just do it up when I last flew, a month before I joined SW

Have booked a beach holiday for late Sept and [STRIKE]want to[/STRIKE] WILL be at target so got 8 months to lose around 3 stone- not sure exactly what I want to be but will see when I get closer. Head is in gear and I'm on a mission to get back on it properly. With that in mind, I'm doing a paper diary this week as well as putting my menu on here, and am double checking syn values/HEs. EE today:

B: Porridge (B), milk (A), banana
L: Lentil and bacon soup, satsuma
T: Lasagne (2 for cheese)
S: Shape apple crumble yogurt (0.5), wholemeal pitta (7), Freddo (5)

Have a great day all

Morning all

Feeling glum this morning..had gain of 1.5lbs last night :mad::mad::( which i am VERY peeved about because i stuck to plan and only had the one night where i had a few extra syns (on friday pm). I deliberately left about 10 syns free for the 2 glasses of wine i had - the only extra was the mini pack of buttons & 2 biscuits. I would have been able to accept the gain if i had gone crazy at weekend but i didnt.

I honestly nearly started crying last night during group..:(..anyway in my gloom i stopped off at the garage and bought a massive bar of cadburys oreo and then devoured the lot in one sitting . Talk about self sabotage. Then i had the "must calorie count" & "lets quit SW " thoughts ..its a never ending spiral.

So today is a new day though. I will just have to accept the fact that for whatever reason i gained...

Having a green day today -

B - 60g all bran golden crunch (hex b x2 & hex a milk)
L - 2 quorn chicken fillets with lime & chilli topping (free double checked this morning ) & tin of spag hoops
D - Batchelors cheese & broccoli (been sat in the cupboard eons so i think they may still be free -) with veggies

snacks - pineapple, options (2), fat free flump (2) & muller light turkish delight & crackers/choccie philly (to use some syns up)

i just cant understand why i gained..so bleating on i know.:(:o
