    Good plan for the holidays and your birthday lush. That way you know you'll get back to it straight after. It's the 's*d it' approach that's so hard t get back from.


    Thank you for being so encouraging :)

    I had a lovely weekend with a few treats but a much better day today which surprises me as I had to go to my parents for half the day to pick up some dresses to choose from for my birthday day out :)

    From tomorrow I'm going to try for an awesome week So as to shift 2/3lb in the next 11 days before holiday; having a few womens' issues at the minute which I shouldn't have due to the way I use the pill (due to hellish star weeks for many years) so hoping that's holding a little up :) if I can get down to 11st anything (even 11st 13lbs) before holiday I will be proud and feel hugely encouraged - my target is 10st 10lb by the time I return to work at the end of September/early October so..in theory do able. Another hold up is not drinking enough fluids i seem to find any excuse not to drink at the moment!

    Bf is ill atm and off his food so using it as a way of having fairly SW meals with a few extra syns - e.g tonight I had a couple of southern fried coated chicken strips (3 syn) with SW wedges (my best yet) and cauliflower cheese (4syns worth) rest of syns today in a couple of small ginger nuts and a couple of squares of cheap chocolate

    Tomorrow will be fruit and mullerlight for breakfast, salad for tea and probably a sandwich or similar for lunch - syns will go on a couple of small biscuits

    Hi all

    trying my best to stay on plan - i have a relative staying for a few days who needs feeding up! Ive managed to stay on plan pretty much by not having the puddings, but todays lunch was a scone (though in defence I've not had HEBs for 3 days!). Yesterday went well, but Saturday saw a little cheese...but not too much

    Tonight I managed to stay on plan by adding ff fromage frais to my dinner to make a sauce, whilst adding double cream to the other portion :D last night I whizzed smoked salmon with the fromage frais and lemon juice - what a lovely pate/spread!

    However, any tips - the fat free fromage frais seems to split when its added to make a hot sauce? Is there way to stop this?

    I am doing the best I can this week, however I'm guessing I'll be happy with a STS :cool: Im trying not to weigh myself til Saturday :(

    Hope everyone else is doing well

    outoffunds - glad you've had better news about OH.

    lioness - well done on your loss and getting SOW.

    lantanna - thanks for the encouraging words. Today I got a pair of size 18 jeans and they fit, so I got rid of all my size 20 (or bigger) clothes. I even got rid of some that I really like and that I could alter to fit, as I don't have time to do it just now. I don't want them hanging around - I am NOT going back there.

    Anyway, a much better day today, completely antisocial ;)

    Breakfast: hexb toast with a mini tub of Philly lightest (1.5 syns), grapes
    Lunch: warm pasta salad, apple
    Dinner: leftover chicken chasseur, green beans, peas and cannellini beans
    Snack: French Fancy (5 syns - not worth it for something so wee; I'd have been better with 5 Werthers Original sweets!)
    Still to have hexa, so I think it'll be 3 mini babybel light and grapes.

    Total: 6.5 syns

    Tomorrow's WI could be very unpleasant, but I've an antisocial week ahead, so really no excuses not to knuckle down afterwards.

    Thanks again, all those of you who've been trying to get me sorted out.

    Evening all
    Some fab losses out there.
    Hugs to those who need them xxx

    Well....after my peanut/ wine blow out ( I think I'm giving myself a hard time actually as it was only a few handfuls and a bottle and ive not had syns Sunday or today!)on Saturday I've felt unwell. On/off tummy griping, no appetite. In the past I've suffered with gallstone issues and had my gall bladder removed a few years ago. Tummy pain feels similar and I wonder if the overeating with the peanuts has triggered something or my body after 6 months of healthy eating has said hang on this isn't good for me?
    Anyone else had similar issues?

    Good morning everyone, My little slip up made me stay the same. Getting under that elusive 11 stone I don't think is for me. However, my clothes feel slacker ,so I will keep going maybe it will move sometime. At least I am not gaining. Well done all you losers I WILL join you one day.

    We will both get there very soon wizkid.

    I am hoping to be back under 11 stone very soon.
    I am trying to be positive about it :grin:

    I'd like to join the under 11 stone crew ASAP :D Thankfully, not long to go now, hopefully.

    Syns for today ended up being 1 on 4 dominion sweets, 1.5 on some parmesan style hard cheese on my bolognese and 2.5 on a mini twister - all thoroughly enjoyed, especially the post-ironing Twister, I was ridiculously warm.

    Managed three litres of water as well, on top of two cups of tea and a glass of diet lemonade :T

    Tomorrow's plan

    B - Bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes

    D - SW quiche and salad

    T - SW bolognese sauce on a baked potato

    HEXA - Milk/cheese
    HEXB - Benefit bars

    Syns - Probably the same as today

    Body magic - exercise DVD if I get up early enough

    I'd say 3 or 4 syns max for that.


    I think lush's idea of drinking loads, especially water, is really good advice both for weightloss and because it's so hot. You're doing brilliantly topgirl.


    Sorry can't help with the fromage frais redsary, I've not used it myself. Sounds as if you're dong a good job balancing meals for your visitor.
