Pleased with myself today. Was in the city centre at lunchtime. DH tempted me with Greggs (pasty) or Subway (big white roll and mayo) but I went for a Salad Nicoise from Pret a Manger. It's totally free, in fact very SW friendly as tuna (not sure if in brine or oil now I think of it) egg and then loads of leaves, tomatoes and capers. The vinaigrette comes in a little tub. I just add a couple of teaspoons. I think this is the best 'emergency' take out that I've found.

Hi all

Had people round as already mentioned did not hav any of the cheeseboard at all bit had the dessert baked lemon cheesecake

Anyway....stood on the scales his morning an it says I have put on 5lbs :eek:

I'm so disappointed have to now try and lose that by Tuesday night so a least I maintained this week so lets see I think it will need to be success expressing for the next 3 days the thing is I genuinely was not that bad

Magicbucks, that sucks, 5 lbs, it might not be that bad on Tues, don't beat yourself up over it.

I think I will be joining you on my Tue weigh-in. But I have been eating a lot so I deserve it. It is what it is. I woke up this morning with new determination and to get on with it. I feel so much better when I don't eat rubbish but somehow the sweets, white bread, crsips just kept on leaping into my mouth. Enough.

Today: cooked breakfast: egg, mushrooms, tomato, bacon, beans
lunch: planning on making some soup for this week, maybe a mackerel salad
tea: want to make sweet and sour sauce from the Saucy Secrets book with chicken and rice, hope it turns out nice.

Have a good day

I agree. Midweek weighing is dangerous magibucks. All you can do is just be good until WI and hope for the best.

I'm finding the school holidays hard as social stuff keeps cropping up with food (and drink) involved. I've resolved to do my best on the days I can control and then work on any damage in September.

I'm feeling a bit bloated today. I knew I shouldn't have bought crisps on Friday but my favourites were on offer.....

Today should be a good EE day:
B: HEB Shreddies with loads of strawberries, HEA milk
L: I've got ham, new potatoes and loads of fruit so it'll be some combination of those
lamb roasted on a bed of parsnips, carrots and leeks with cauli, broccoli and green beans
Syns: weekend wine and I will avoid crisp, I will, I will......

Could somebody please check Rivercote sliced sunflower bread for me. (Lidl)

I can't work it out from the SW site.
Thanks.

I am finding it really hard and have been up and down now for over 1 year any tips people I seem to be on self destruct

Inazuma

Magicbucks, I do sometimes find a gain of a few pounds suddenly like yours comes off very quickly if you get straight back on plan and are strict with it.

Pennylane, I can only find Rivercote crispbread, maybe you'll have to put all the nutritional info from the packaging in and use the syns calculator.

Maman, very pleased to hear about your pret a manger salad, I always struggle when out like this and end up not having anything and end up cross and grumpy or having a sod it moment and undoing a lot of hard work.

Anyone got any other suggestions for eating on the hoof?

Cherryscone - what can I say, except me too? I am hanging on by my fingertips at the moment and find this site and people like Frogga (who is doing it right and getting results) really inspirational. Even on my bad days, I try to log in just to catch up with how people are doing, and we all have good and bad patches. Mine (and your too by the sound of it!) just go on a bit longer than most! Are you going to classes or trying it on your own?

Just like Inazuma and you, me three. Only thing we can do is make the commitment to ourrselves and keep going. I have had a stressful, emotional week and have made bad food choices, but I have decided instead of saying: Sod it, I can't do this, I am going to forgive myself and start fresh again today, not wait until weigh-in on Tue or the famous: I will start on Monday, but now, today.

Away to make bread for the family. I have tried to work out syns for homemade bread but not sure if I have done it right.

Can someone be so kind to check my calculations:

28g of flour = 4.5 syns
500 gr of flour = 81 syns (rounded up)
2 tsp yeast = 1 syn
28 gr butter = 10.5 total 92.5

(I could leave the butter out, I suppose, but it gives the bread a lovely flavour and texture)

Not sure how many slices I can get out of that loaf, maybe make 2 small loaves, lets say 15 slices, that makes each slice about 6 syns. Is that about right? It seems a lot but it might keep me on track to be able to eat homemade bread.

Any thoughts?
