Advance apologies for on train typos


Thanks a million Frogga and course you can :-) ill attend tonight miss next week so will start that w/c 9th and will be well focused for the six weeks so we can support each other

This applies to anyone else too who fancies giving it a crack

The more the merrier



Inazuma I agree with you re the motivation bit


I too would need something more tangible visible etc in other words stories from people that we all feel we know with good days bad days ideas etch

Appreciate you are working on it but if we do a gang thing in little blocks like 6 week countdown ( though does not mean people need to buy them) then if we start week of 7/9 back at school etc it basically takes us to mid October and well in way to good loss for Christmas

Great idea Magic :beer: Let's work towards that then, and hope lots of others want to join in :j

Remember I said about 'being good alongside a long running TV programme? Well The Great British Bake Off is on again tonight! Part 2 already :eek: It's amazing how quickly the weeks go by

1.5lb off for me this morning, though a bit disappointed as I would have liked more. Hey ho, think I'm just mourning the 3 weeks I 'lost' while I was on holiday. Want to take the fast route you see like Frogga!
Good luck to those who are weighing in today xx

Had a terrible weekend food wise! Not even going to discuss it as as far as I'm concerned its done!

Back on track today

Me too lantanna - I think everything I ate was non-SW :mad:

I do enjoy bank holiday weekends but my food (and drink) consumption goes completely to pot

This made me giggle, I could tell you were Scotish before I even looked at your location :beer:

I feel very liberated at the moment. It's great to be 'on a diet' but not feeling like I'm 'on a diet'. I'm really excited about my Curly Wirly I'm having as my treat tonight. I've NEVER done it this way, and I'm anxious, but trusting the plan

I do go by my clothes too Maman, and I got my jeans on yesterday. They were still tight, and everything was spilling over the top, but I had a baggy jumper on so you couldn't tell but they are a size 12 so I can't be that huge

So pleased to hear that you are getting on OK frogga, you sound as though you are in a much better place and enjoying you little chocolate treat everyday seems to be working well.

I was out and about all weekend and have only just had a chance to catch up with everyone's posts it has been a very busy weekend on here :cool:.

I will post my menu in a little while - have a good day all

Hope weigh in goes well magicbucks.

Oh dear skintcatt, 1.5lbs is good there's no need to be disappointed about that. Only yesterday I had a friend round who's joining SW today (not my group) and I was showing her my 'before' photos and got my book out to show her the progress I made. We had a laugh tracking where I'd lost and gained, many gains were weekend breaks we'd enjoyed together! Others were holidays. The average loss to target was just under 1.5lbs a week. That's a healthy and sustainable.:T

I love the idea of a six week push to coincide with countdown. I won't be buying one as I don't pay but I really need something to help me put lapses of school holidays behind me and get back to 'normal' life.

I had the best day since about last Wednesday yesterday. Resisted the temptation to have unplanned wine syns just because it was a Bank Holiday. At last, the bloated feeling is going away.:) Today will be equally good on EE:

B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, fried egg, HEA for teas
L: bowl of raspberries and graze on some ham if I'm hungry
chicken stir fry with plain rice, mange tout, spring onions, peppers, mushrooms, courgettes, carrots
Syns: squirt of sauce, tbsp. of honey in stir-fry sauce

Nothing else planned but DH did force a square of dark chocolate and 4 crisps on me last night!;)

Good luck with WI magibucks.

Morning all

Well I had the bank holiday weekend off "being good" and I really felt it yesterday, I don't normally eat bread but I had a sandwich yesterday (made a picnic for a day out to avoid lunch spends), felt horribly bloated all day. Going to weigh myself at the gym at lunchtime, hoping I won't have ruined all my hard work.

So, today (EE):

Breakfast: 2 egg omelette with mushrooms and tomatoes; 35g porridge oats made with 1/2 water 1/2 milk (HEB and HEA), handful of blackberries

Morning snack: 3 x Ryvita wholemeal crackerbreads (3 syns), apple

Lunch: Minestrone soup (Tesco - 150 cal, doesn't appear on the HEB list but I can't really understand what about it would mean I would have to syn it at 7.5 syns, surely I'm just synning the tomato juice and the veg oil?....I will though, just to be safe... http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=252074353), big handful sugar snap peas eaten raw.

Afternoon snack: FF yoghurt, plum, peach. 3 x Ryvita Wholegrain crackerbreads (3 syns), v low fat cottage cheese

Dinner: Birds Eye Chicken Chargrill (original flavour - 4 syns), cauliflower and chickpea salad (1 syn for oil that it's marinading in right now), corn on the cob, peas. Hmm, no superfree there is there...will pick up some salad leaves on the way home.

Total:
1 x HEA and 1 x HEB
Syns - 17.5. Eek - that's too many really...should I leave out the afternoon crackerbreads and just have the cottage cheese with the sugarsnaps? Or I could go and pick up some cooked ham or turkey - Bernard Matthews Chunky turkey is free I believe?

thanks Beanie

Much appreciated have a good day yourself onwards and downwards

Have lost the plot big time.
Too many oreo's & Cadbury's creation chocolate.
Truth to tell I ate so much not sure I actually enjoyed it :eeK:
When will I ever learn.
I have asked all my friends for chocolate for my birthday.
Hope they don't buy it for me know.

I suppose it's too late to leave out the morning crackerbreads? You've had a lovely breakfast but maybe it was very early.

Even if the soup was a HEX you've already had yours (only 1 allowed on EE) so you need to syn the soup anyway.

17.5 isn't the end of the world if you go easy tomorrow but it would be better to cut back a bit today if you can?

I hope you're having a lovely birthday beanie.:A Maybe you'll find it easier to ration the chocolate as you realise too much isn't that enjoyable. If it's not too nosey, why did you ask for sinful gifts?:)
