Well baby massage went amazingly, the walk there and back was pretty good - like an upper body workout pushing the pram though! As it was dry I went straight up to town and had a cuppa in the hospice market day cafe, bought a few bits and walked back so all in all that's 4-4.5mile walked today and it's only lunch time!

I have had two biscuits though so that's about 6 previously unplanned syns. Syn free soup for lunch now though. Also bought a couple of mugshots as I haven't had them in a while and figured they'd make a decent snack. Will check the ones I got are free now

Hi everyone, I'm trying desperately to catch up! Some really fab losses. WI tonight for me and I'm just trying not to think about it:eek:. Also discovered this morning the Mullerlight fudge pudding pots I bought at the weekend and scoffed are 4.5 syns each:eek::eek: Lesson learned, check first. Especially if something tastes so darned nice, bit of a giveaway really eh

Only had fruit and yoghurt so far today, not feeling very hungry and know I'm getting a bit of a strop on I'm so annoyed with myself.

Anyway will be back tomorrow to report the damage and be back on track.

Take care all x

Hi All :hello:

Well a big stinking rotten 1lb Gain for me last night!!! Please Shala
I wasn’t surprised really, it was also *week & I still had work clothes on which are heavier than my leggings & vest top I usually wear.
Back to it 100% this week, totally focused, I am also going back to keeping my online diary.

Have any of you tried the bags from Asda, I like to cook from scratch & batch cook & freeze but a lot of people in group have tried the Asda Vegetable Curry Bag @ £1.50, I think you just add tinned tomatoes & a stock cube, takes 30 minutes & its supposed to be delicious, I need a quick dinner on a Monday & Tuesday due to kids clubs & Group. We are having this tonight but going to add in some chicken as well to fill us up a bit!

So EE today again

B – Kiwi, melon, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries
L – Wholemeal pasta, tuna with mixed peppers, spring onion & mayo (1 syn), melon, strawberries, pineapple, aldi greek lemon yoghurt.
D – Chicken/Veg Curry

HEA & HEB Toast & Cheese
Syns – kit kat later on 5.5

Drinks so far – 2 coffees, 1 green tea, 1.2 l water, willhave a couple of peppermint teas later on, I am really enjoying them!

I think I spend so much for a number of reasons, chief of which is the bf and his restrictive appetite. Meat and carbs only, aside from peas :wall: So meals tend to be meat heavy and I can only use veg as a side. Which then means I tend to go for sf fruit rather than veg. Part of me thinks sod it, I prefer fruit anyway so who cares if it's expensive. I think my wallet cares though

My hubby & son are not a big fruit/veg eater either, I do try sneak some veg into meals for them, my daughter is not too bad. To cut back costs, I buy bags of frozen veg from farmfoods, a lot cheaper than buying fresh every other day. I also buy frozen chopped onions (just because I hate chopping them) :rotfl:. I also buy frozen berries from there or Aldi, although Aldi ones are nicer! I also use Aldi for basics like beetroot/ff natural yoghurt, Sesame Seed Ryvita type things their greek yoghurts (99p for 4) are lovely, also things like beetroot/pickles/mayo are all a lot cheaper, do you have an Aldi near you that you could perhaps do a large shop in to make it worth while?

I have a size 18 adidas top which I think is really 10/12, as is still tight. Sizing is so random.

Lunch cancelled as had sick child from school, good job day off.
