    Hey all! Thought I'd lost you all there!

    I am all packed up and ready for my holiday, have to be at the airport at 4am so this is only a quickie, I'm sure I will check back in and see how you're all doing whilst I am sunning myself :D


    I am very very happy to report a loss of 7.5lbs tonight. Was 110% on plan all week, and feel completely ready for my holiday now. I am not going to go too crazy and undo all of my hard work, but I am going to be looking forward to a drink, I had a dry January that ran into February and boy have I missed my wine.

    I want to thank you all for being so supportive and encouraging me when I was down. This thread really does lift you and keep you going when things get tough.

    Hope everyone is doing well, I will read through the rest of the thread soon and get back up to speed.


    Have a great holiday Becks and :T on your fantastic loss.


    :hello:dizzy, good to see you back. Think of you every time I make ox burgers!;)


    Great loss for you too beanie. It's good to see all the final figures rolling in. Thanks 2b.


    ETA: I'm sure you're right MrsR, it can't be half a stone. Let's not panic and see what your proper WI says.

    well after my sulking 1lb loss yesterday.

    Today was bad

    Family problems forced me to ring in sick at work to look after family who are ill, I was phoned at 7.00am to leave here. (their fridge was bare)

    I had the peanut bars from s/w which I bought last night, at breakfast I had 1 with a coffee,
    around 11.00am I had another
    then around 3.00pm I had another, inbetween I'd had a few cups of coffee.
    I classed breakfast as 2, the milk in the coffee I drank I counted as 1, the other 2 as sins 6 each which makes 12.
    then around 7 when stuff was sorted I took boiled rice and cola curry to daughters for granddaughters birthday, so that's ok, but I had a small slice of birthday cake, and 2 small vodka cokes...................oh too many syns.
    So for the 1st time I've gone over my syns.

    back on track tomorrow and hope wed will give me a loss even if it is a 1lb i'll accept it because today was bad.

    nice new thread.

    Happy Valentines Day everyone.

    DH and I not going out to eat today. I have bought minute steak and will make wedges and a salad. For afters DH is getting M&S Dutch apple tart with cream and I will be having a Count on us chocolate mousse (5syns) with strawberries to dip in :A Well, that is the plan anyway.... there are 2 appletarts in the packet :rotfl:

    I also re-discovered M&S mini wholemeal subrolls which used to be a HEb for 2 when I last did SW, they are lovely and only 3 syns each if not using for HE. I had two for my supper last night with ham and cucumber. Put the rest in the freezer cause I could have eaten them all.

    What are you all up to today?

    Great losses lantanna, beanie and Becks :j:j:j

    Becks - have a brilliant holiday x

    Mumoftwo - those apple tarts are really nasty, you wouldn't enjoy it as much as the mousse ;)

    Chris - i wouldn't worry about yesterday, life sometimes gets in the way of plans, just write it off and get back on plan today.

    Trying for a red day again today

    B - banana - no time for anything else
    L - chicken salad sandwich(heb), mayo (1), crisps (4.5)
    T - balsamic pork, jacket potato(heb), cheese(hea), salad
    S - milk in tea (hea)

    Need to look at the recipe ot work out the syns in the balsamic prk, but i'm guessing it won't be many..

    Happy Friday xx

    Well yesterday was a complete write off! Had a full SW breakfast before leaving for the funeral. Only ate 1/2 sandwich (1 large WM slice of bread) with ham, lettuce & cucumber. Also had a couple of glasses of red.

    Didn't get home until nearly 4pm and while I was making a cup of tea for us DH decided to grill some crumpets and presented me with 2 dripping in butter and I was so hungry I ate them:eek: (about 14 syns?)!

    Had some cooked mince leftover from the previous night so cooked off loads of veg and added to the mince, mashed some potatoes and mad a cottage pie. So again SW friendly.

    During the evening I got the munchies, had a fruit split lolly which usually helps when I want something sweet (3); wasn't enough so had a pink 'n' white (2.5). Still not enough so ended up eating a piece of HM flapjack which I'd made for DH's lunch boxes this week. Have just worked out the syns and they are 13 syns each:eek::eek::eek:.

    I think the total ended up as 42 syns for the day - that's almost 3 days worth of syns!!!

    Getting straight back on plan today:

    B - BLT sandwich
    L - HM spicy butternut squash soup
    D - Steak, SW chips, mushrooms & onions

    HEA - milk in tea throughout the day
    HEB - 2 slices WM bread
    Syns - 2 glasses of red 12
