    55 syns for half a bottle - saved you looking :D

    Stef I think it might have been a rhetorical question! :rotfl:

    I really enjoyed my evening meal, griddled chicken, SW chips, salsa and cheese and chilli stuffed mushrooms :) Even hubby commented that it didn't seem at all like we were eating diet food :)

  • I hadn't lost anything when I weighed myself this morning although I have had a bad week at home so not really been eating regularly. I think this is going to be the main obstacle to my weight loss tbh as when i'm feeling low I forget to eat/drink until i'm really hungry/thristy. :o

    It's been a funny day today & we hadn't been shopping this week so I fell off the wagon & had some curry sauce & chips from the chippy & i've just tidied up the fridge by drinking the WKD blue that's been hanging around from New Year's. :o

    My official weigh day is Monday & what with it being Mother's Day Sunday i'll be very lucky not to gain this week. :cool:

    I'm determined to eat better next week though & making a big pot of vegetable curry so I can freeze some in preparation for the days when I feel rubbish & not up to cooking. :A
    I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

    Hi BCS, your post struck a chord with me cos I often feel like this. Make your plans to start again next week, but in the meantime decide not to go crazy with Mother's Day - another couple of pounds gained on Sunday is just another couple you have to take off on Monday!

    My Mother's Day will pass un-noticed, even though ironically my son was born on Mother's Day (best pressie ever!) but OH comes from family who don't 'Do' these things so he has never marked it or made sure my son does. Cried last year because my friends daughter gave me a small posy of flowers. (Friend knows OH doesn't do it.) Quite sad really because when my Mum was alive my sis and I and our families used to make quite a fuss of her and it was lovely.

    Sorry, bit off topic. :(
    Whinge over, sorry.

  • Hello!!
    Please can I join, I'm hoping I will be joining a club next week and have done this week on my own and have lost 3lbs
    I did SW last year and lost 2 stone, went on to another plan as wasn't enjoying carbs and found that to hard to maintain so am back to loose my last 2 stone with SW
    Starting weight was 11.13 and I'm now 11.10 and would like to be 9.10.
    Please can I ask do we all posted menus in here? I'm still not 100% on everything and I'm only doing red days and one green day on a Saturday
    Xx
  • Hi all

    Feeling much better on this plan with eating more balanced diet!

    Stef I was very interested to read the FSA recommendations you've been given but can you please point me in the direction of where I can find the portion sizes ie bread, potatoes, rice, meat etc - all I can find on the website is the eat well plate but it doesn't tell you weights of portions etc.
    Also I assume these 5-7 starchy 2-3 meats daily etc are the weight loss guidelines? What do they then recommend to maintain when at target?

    Sorry for all questions but trying to make a life change nutritionally not just weight loss and portion sizes are something that needs to become second nature for the rest of my life as I have no intention of having to lose the 6 st ever again!
    Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

    Good morning Crew :wave:

    Arghhhh, I just typed out a really long post and it has got lost in cyberspace!

    Hopefully will get the chance later

    Inazuma, awhhh, hugs to you, that is sad :(

    When my Mam was alive we made a great fuss too - and quite rightly so I believe

    Catch you later
