Food yesterday
B - Belvita cearl bar (3Syn)
S - tangerine
L - 2 egg omlette and tin of plum tomotoes (Free spray oli)
T - sym free soup (Made carots, pototoes, onion and can of sweet corn cooked in veg stock cube)
grapes rasberrys and greek lemon light yougurt (Sym 1/2)
s cucumber with laughting cow light tiangle cheese (sym 1 1/2)
HEA - 250 ml semi milk,
HEB - 1 1/2 shreaded wheat
Syns - 5
The syn values look fine as do your HE's. 5 syns isn't a lot, but if you're feeling full up and satisfied then carry on what you're doing. Maybe a few more super free with your breakfast and lunch to get the maximum out of SW, although I know its not always easy.
I'm another one that does SW the low carb way, carbs and me just don't get along, so thats why I find it important to eat as much super free as possible to make up for it. (And when I'm having a good day - it usually keeps me feeling fuller as carbs typically would)0 -
Its been a very quiet weekend for me, trying to pull things back on plan..... hubby took me for a lovely meal on Sunday was good even said no to dessert.
Well done to Mrs_Ryan and Anon and Mildredd..
Yesterday
Breakfast was fruit
Lunch was Chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato
Dinner was Chicken Breast with SW Chips and tomato
Todays plan

OH and by the way I GOT THE JOB :j:j:j:j:j:j:j
- just had a phone call to let me know...... and I thought I was the worst interview I had done....
Well done on the job! :T They obviously saw something good in you! Be proud!!!0 -
Edited to add - seriously my body hates grease now
urgh *lilgreenfaceclutchingstomachsmileyhere*
Here you go Mildredd though I couldn't make it green _pale_
Anyway, just wrote a long post & lost it as my internet connection dopped out.
Am sitting in the corner rocking & crying... lost track of a few syns over the weekend - even declined a takeaway & I've gained 2LBS! So didn't deserve that AT ALL! Am not going to look good in my dd's christening photo's, nor hit my pre-Christmas target. Another fat Christmas
DD also had a terrible tantrum this morning over getting dressed which had us both in tears & her clinging to me. I thought I'd have to drag her to SW in her pj's with snot & wild hair!
Just want to sit here & stuff my face with chocolate now.0 -

Congratulations on your loses guys.. you're all losers here! :rotfl:special congrats to Mrs Ryan - 6lbs :eek: amazing!!
Welcome JPP :hello:
Skint_Catt - would you possibly point me in the right direction for the syn fee tomato soup? I can't find it in my magazine.. I only eat tomato soup (usually of the Heinz variety) but it's too many syns :eek:
Beanie/Becks - hugs, maybe take the pressure off for a bit, but stick around if only for the wise words of everyone here for when you're ready to get back on it! :grouphug:
Smokies - congratulations :j:j:jamazing news!
Sorry I haven't been around to update the list. I've been poorly bad (stomach flu, ulcers in mouth and toothache)so struggling a wee bit..whinge whinge whinge:rotfl:
Everyone is doing really well - even if you're struggling, the fact that you are still here posting means something!Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.0 -
Smokies congrats on the job!!!
Becks - sounds like a plan re couch to 5k
I need to get my bum in gear and go out walking every day just hate walking without somewhere to aim for :a might have to map a route out and distance it and just aim to do that then get the loop bigger and bigger
Beanie - how you doing today?
This time in 3 months it'll be Xmas eve14 weeks away
1lb a week until then is 1 stone!!!
Oh btw I peed my consultant off yesterday by being Mse
I bought a 6 week countdown (pay for 5) and she was all ooh Mildredd do u need more support to be motivated? Are you aiming for that date in particular? Me - no I just want a free week
Obviously the others in the group aren't Mse and hadn't noticed the offer coz everyone started chattering about the countdowns? And then she said end of October? They do an offer if u buy the 12 week one pay for 10 so £50 you get a free book?
Just thought I'd mention it incase anyone hadn't noticed it
Going to have to try and be good all week to counteract that fish and chips last night - didn't even reallllly enjoy it either
Think ill stock up on some strawberries/raspberries/blackberries later
Today's menu
Breakfast - nas squash, banana 1/4 pineapple
Lunch - 1/3 savoury rice, red onion, peppers, beetroot, turkey chunks, apple and strawberries
Dinner- not a clue maybe tuna pasta with sweet corn - onions - peppers, extra light or lighter than light mayo for syns
Hmm haven't had hexs might have some toast as a supper with extra light laughing cow on them or alpen lights
Syns- as few as possible but depending on bake off might need a curly wurly or fudgeStarted sw 02/09/13 - total loss so far -5st 1lb

Skint - so sorry to hear that you've put on.. could it be water retention? If you know you've stuck to the plan relatively well then there may be other reasons that you've gained..
Give yourself a break today and if you want a bit of chocolate then have it, but only a bit mind!
You have put on 2lbs, but you've LOST 24lbs!! That's amazing, look at the bigger picture you're over a stone and a half lighter than you were :j we still have 13 weeks before xmas so you could still lose a significant amount of weight before then.Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.0 -

thanks Mildredd, but I can't "do" beans.. the very thought of them makes me gag! :rotfl: its purely psychological but the smell and thought of them just disgust me!!Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.0 -
