    Well done for getting straight back on plan annie. Hopefully you'll have a good loss next week, that can work if you're 'good' and nothing happens. I'm still not back to where I'd like to be and I got back from holiday on July 1st! Too much eating out. I was feeling positive until I put a clean pair of jeans on this morning and they feel miserably tight.:( I think I'll go to a group this evening (usual consultant, different group) and find out the worst as I can't make usual WI tomorrow.

    Might make some lentil soup or something to keep me going and back on plan.

    That's my plan too. I ate the last HM soup from the freezer yesterday so I'm going to cook a gammon joint at the weekend and make lentil soup from the stock. My favourite.

    I'm away at a conference at the weekend with set meals so very little control over what I eat. Will WI tomorrow instead of my usual Saturday.


    I find it's not too bad choosing from a Full English breakfast buffet. I generally go for beans and bacon and them maybe tomatoes and mushrooms and an egg if not too fatty. And more and more places do fresh fruit too. At least I start the day on plan.

    maman, I have a combi microwave/oven & I love it. Our 'big' oven is old & takes an age to heat up, whereas the combi is so quick to heat up & definitely saves on electricity. I use it pretty much every day.


    Welcome RedCola. I shop at Ald1, & do mostly green days to keep the costs down.


    Thanks for the microwave info. I'll certainly consider one when this one dies.


    :wave:redcola. I'm the same and shop at Aldi (almost manage a full shop there now) plus odd bits from shopping around (Farmfoods, Iceland). I rarely do Green but I do have small meat portions and fill up with plenty of veg. Just shout if you've any more questions. Are you planning to go to group every week?


    wiz, I can't see Nutrigrain mentioned as such. Kelloggs breakfast biscuits come out at 2.5 and the Soft and Chewy at 6.5. Definitely not on HEB list.


    My EE menu:
    B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, scrambled eggs
    L: JP, cottage cheese, pickles
    D: lamb hotpot (moved from yesterday's plan).
    Syns: squirt of HP sauce and maybe gravy granules in hot pot (SW recipe)

    Welcome back Lush!

    I posted a recipe for a syn free mince on here, might be worth a go, even the ever so slightly fussy Top Boy is a fan :)

    shala, hope you enjoy your loaded potato skins ;) What will you be loading them with??

    They were amazing!! Thank you for reminding me about them.. i had cheese, ham and a bit of red onion :drool: I think i much prefer them to bringing a jacket potato for lunch (i have to reheat i the microwave)

    Lush - that sounds like a good plan you have set up, i'm sure you'll get that weight back off in no time. I might steal your idea if thats ok and just have a list of things i can have for lunch/dinners - at the moment every night i sit there trying to think what i can bring in with me for lunch and then what we can have for tea :( it's really getting annoying because we can never decide!

    Hello lovelies :)

    Let's all absolutely smash it today.


    Lovely, positive!!!:D


    Good to see you back lush. Wow!! You sound organised.


    McCain Rustic Chips are the lowest syn I know (1 syn for 100g) but I stopped buying them as the price kept going up and up and it felt like a rip off. Same brand 5% fat are 1.5 and then Home Chips are 2 for straight and chunky (not crinkle they're higher). Home Chips are sometimes on offer too.

    Sounds good to me Lantanna :)

    Just got two packs of WW sausages in Asda reduced to 90p each :money: am I right in thinking these are 0.5 syns per sausage? They're premium pork.

    Well, today has gone wrong :o. Forgot to eat my breakfast again (about the 3rd time this week - I blame small children) and realised when I was half way to where we were going out for the day.

    So breakfast ended up being a toasted teacake with butter (although I only used 2 portions and it would have been 5 before SW). Lunch was lasagne with garlic bread and a tiny salad which was at least dressing free.

    Going to go turn some veg into a dinner that will be free because I seriously need some superfree food today and I've probably had enough syns til at least the weekend :(
