sarymclary

Wow! so much chatting been going on here, it's taken me over an hour to read it all.

Welcome back MrsMc, I remember you from the thread before you fell pregnant.

Shala good to see you back!

TIE, do whatever it is you feel you need to get you through right now. The SW plan will always be here for when you're able to stick with it, but I think for now you need to look after yourself first and foremost.

thank you!

Beanie, I found this list on a blog, hope it helps : http://tryingtobetheperfecthousewife.wordpress.com/tag/super-speed-food-complete-list/

I've felt rather peckish today, so have done the sensible thing and eaten!

EE Day:
B - Muller Greek Yog 1/2 syn, apple, banana
L - Bacon, Egg, mushrooms, tomato, mixed baked beans, 1 slice 800g wholemeal loaf (HExB), ketchup 1 syn
D - Roast lamb in mint gravy 1 1/2 syn, Frylight Roast spuds, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, peppers, leeks, cabbage, gravy 2 syns
Supper - WW hot chocolate 2 syns, satsuma
HExA - 250ml ss milk in tea/coffee
8 syns in total

Another trumper person here (I was going to put fluffer, but that's something else entirely!!) OH is really not happy about it I have to say, in fact most of the family aren't happy about it who have to live with me. I'm sure the cabbage is to blame, but with so much iron in it, and the fact I really like it with some leeks, they'll just have to keep on suffering!

Right, now I'm caught up with you lot, I can go to bed. I have to say I felt really naughty having a hot chocolate this evening, but knowing it was in plan was equally comforting. I got them cheap in Home Bargains, under £1 for a box of 5 or 6 sachets, so good to keep a couple in my handbag for if we're our and I fancy something sweet. I can usually get hot water somewhere.

Evening everyone,

I have updated the sheet to include everyone who has asked to be included I think.

Had a terrible day today - 3 days in and the day after my hypnotherapy. I am so mad at myself. We had a friend come over for lunch and I laid out a healthy chicken salad, but then thought 'they aren't on a diet, they will want some naughty treats', so laid some of those out too - except, I couldn't help myself snatching a few. I need someone to slap my hand!

Can anybody tell me, what the lowest syn sausages are please, I do love a sausage.

Also, is Onken fat free yoghurt strawberry syn free?

I did make a really yummy Braised Balsamic Beef - YUMMY!

I buy Real Foods Corn Thins, they are gluten free and you can have 5 as a healthy extra B. They taste like a cross between popcorn and a rice cake. I like them with either cheese spread, houmous or use them instead of bread and dip them in soup.

If you are going to join a group then the woman magazine had a voucher in saving you £10 joining fee so you would only have to pay £4.95 for your first week, hopefully this voucher is still available.

Thank you those look nice! I like snackajacks so I have those a lot, and love houmous with celery or carrot, I love the Mrs Crimble's gluten free things but they are expensive! It's actually not that bad, I just keep telling myself everything is OK when you're allowed potato :rotfl:

Yes I must go look for the magazine tomorrow!

some butchers do 'syn free' sausages, these aren't endorsed by SW anymore so I guess you have to take their word on it that they are made using ex. lean meat..

other than that...

As mentioned the Chantelle diet I got from Sun+

How to follow The Sun diet Lose a stone by the end of January with our exclusive Sun Slimmers diet plan. Sun nutritionist Amanda Ursell gives you the basic rules here, but you can eat no more than 1,500 calories a day. She says: “Whatever stage you are in your life, if you need to lose weight, then you need to cut calories and get more active. The easiest way to do this on the food front, without feeling deprived and hungry, is to ensure that your meals always have three crucial elements:

1. Protein. Whether you prefer meat, chicken and fish or vegetarian options like pulses, Quorn and tofu, these foods have the advantage of helping you to feel full. When trying to cut calories while not ending up starving hungry, slightly bigger than normal servings of protein-rich foods are a good idea and this diet plan encourages this.

2. Vegetables. These add bulk, which helps to fill you up, yet they have few calories. Try to have big portions of two vegetables with lunch and dinner.

3. Wholegrain carbohydrates. These include cereals like porridge, Bran Flakes, Weetabix, wholemeal pitta bread and standard bread and brown rice and pasta. These tend to be more filling than their refined white counterparts. When losing weight, keep a close eye on serving sizes of these foods but do make sure that have a small serving at each meal to keep energy levels up.

The Meal Plan

This meal plan provides you with around 1300 – 1500 calories a day. It is designed to help the average woman who wants to shed a stone or more, begin her weight loss journey. Anyone with less than a stone to lose should leave out the mid-morning snack. This plan should lead to a loss of 4 pounds in the first week and 2-3 pounds a week thereafter if you repeat it. If you cook without salt and avoid adding it at the table, you can achieve losses of up to 5 pounds in the first week, 2 - 3 of which can be excess stored water being lost. You can mix and match the meals or stick with favourites if you prefer. For example if you find it easier to just stick with boiled eggs for three days for breakfast and porridge for the next four days, this is fine. Don’t skip meals or snacks. Eating regularly and not allowing yourself to get hungry is important for success.

WOW that must have taken a while to type, thanks for that Monty :beer: It looks all very sensible. It would be really interesting to so through it and 'mark' it as if it were a SW day? I wonder how it stacks up?

Thinking of you TIE. This week will be tough. Stay strong, but weep whenever you need. Don't judge yourself. This will be one of the hardest things you will go through. But you will be alright.

I never use ricecakes as a HEB as I forgot about them but they're yummy so I might do now.

Hopping off to walk the hounds, got to have a nice last day, back to school for me a TIE tomorrow

Thanks for those sausages pictures Mich_city, really helpful as I had those Asda turkey sausages and spent ages looking them up in the shopping guide and couldn't find them!

First big shop in the New Year today, can't wait to buy nice yogurts and healthy things for me as well as the family.

Have a nice Sunday
