Evening all
Well I have to say my consultant has surprised me. I was at work today when she rang me but I was able to take the call. She was talking to someone from the Cancer Research charity today to arrange delivering the 70 bags of stuff collected for the Clothes Throw, and the lady mentioned she had had a large box of real hair wigs donated, some brand new and unworn, others only lightly worn. They aren't allowed to sell them apparently, not even the unworn ones so she said to my consultant if she could find a use for them she could have them. My consultant said she actually told her about me and my story and said I would likely love them. She's right- I was thrilled. My wigs are all (with the exception of one) cheap synthetic ones which are all looking tatty but I can't afford to replace them. I'm so pleased- she's redeemed herself with that! Couldn't thank her enough for thinking of me.
I'm still eating for England- constantly hungry!! Hoping for at least a small loss as I can't exercise because of this damn labyrinthitis :mad:
Today's menu:
B: Cup of coffee with HEXA s/s, Moroccan Salmon light lunch (I know! But I was in a hurry and I thought I had no Alpen Lights left 1 syn)
Mid-morning: 2 cups of decaf with HEXA s/s, MugShot macaroni cheese (3 syns) Hula Hoops Pufts (3.5 syns)
Lunch: Mixed salad with ham, pastrami and gherkins, and Uncle Ben's Golden Veg rice (2.5 syns) HEXB Alpen Lights (I did have some ) 2 bananas, NAS Ribena
Tea: LMC red onion sausages, smash and beans. Frozen mixed fruit and 0% Activia. NAS Ribena
Supper: 3 fried eggs, 2 Ryvita Original (3 syns)
Syns: 13
Hope everyone's ok xxx

Evening all :wave:

Our first pie night went very well, we sold out so thankfully DH didn't eat any. We were open until 7 so we had our main meal at lunchtime and have just had scrambled egg and tomato on toast. Might have a few wine syns tonight

Beanie - hope today went as well as can be expected.

Shala - have a lovely time in Brighton. Would love to hear what you'll be eating to expect such a big gain!

Hanert - your membership is cancelled if you don't attend, you don't need to do anything. How is your son?

Welcome scarlet - are you (or was your Mum) a fan of the film Gone With the Wind? It's my favourite film and I nearly called my daughter Scarlet but wasn't brave enough.

Mrs Ryan - how brilliant of your consultant to think of you, and great to have a choice of good quality wigs, they must be worth a lot of money.

Have a lovely evening.

I'm not surprised you were asked beanie. Hope it all went well.:A



Certainly agree with that!!;) Your menu looks really good scarlett, just the sort of food that I enjoy. One thing I would say is that you could improve it with different fruit. Being the self appointed Speed cop on here:o I try to stick to fruit and veg that counts in the third (at least) of Speed food each day. So instead of banana and blueberries (free but not Speed) I'd go for raspberries, strawberries or anything else you like off the Speed list. Personally I eat more veg than fruit, partly preference and partly cost.


On the yogurt question, I don't really eat it either. There are so many brands of yogurts that it would be very difficult to make an exhaustive list. Perhaps if you tell us where you shop or which particular brands or flavours are your favourites we could narrow it down a little.


Sorry if you've already said but, are you going to a group or just going it alone with books?

I think you're right about the Pukka pies meg, even the weight is the same. 26 syns:eek: Hope lois's DH takes note and is suitably frightened off. I could have a whole bottle of wine for that, no contest!!:rotfl:




Go for it lush!! It's certainly possible and worth a try. 'Breakfasts fit for Royalty' are certainly something SW does really well. As I was saying to beg, hotel breakfasts are good but making your own is even better. You can have low syn sausages and I like fried potatoes to save on a HEB. So bacon, sausage, eggs, fried potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans!! Call this a diet.:D


I ended up doing my meal plan and shop on the hoof but got loads of Speed so should be OK.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAs Ribena, HEB toast, baked beans
L: smoked salmon & leaves (Ikea) then savoury rice and veg when I got home
gammon steak, SW chips, cauli & broccoli cheese
Syns: cheese sauce, smear of dressing/mayo in Ikea, weekend wine:j

I have fresh apricots, satsumas and apples. I only buy fruit and which is on offer. My dinner has broccoli, leeks, carrots and green beans all speed.

With the yoghurt, I found as well all Mullerlights yoghurts, bar three or four - choc sprinkles with cherry layer and the cheesecake ones are syn free. Plus the WW yoghurts and Activia 0% are syn free. The WW fromage frais with a fruit layer are half a syn each. Need to find out if the Activia 0% snack pots are syn free.

One of these brands are on offer somewhere.

I am on a learning curve. So I will forget not all fruit is speed etc.

What is the policy with able to use more syns in a day - more than 15? Could you only use five syns per day over five days and use 25-30 more if got a party etc

hanert

DS is on the mend thank goodness, Lois to say we are very relieved is putting it mildly. x

I am thinking of not going to group anymore, I don't mind paying if I get something out of it but they are very clicky there and they mostly seem to be related in some way. I feel a bit like I'm intruding in a private party!! also I've done 4 weeks food diary and still had no comeback, or is that done after the 4 weeks are up?

Will think about it during the week but meanwhile I have to be with my Son when the Police interview him - scary x

Hi :wave:catching up as I've not been around properly for a few days - 1lb on at class last night i'm very surprised it isn't more :eek: I bought the new mag and the Fakeaway book (thanks Saverupper for the review) so once i'm back from our hols in Brighton then i'll sit down and plan some meals out of both..

Volunteering sounds like a wonderful thing to do meg :T we're going to try and do some through work at the local foodbanks, i'm looking forward to it.. glad you got them dating agency people sorted too!


Welcome back MrsR :wave:

Glad you got yourself some new bedclothes lantanna, i'm sure looking at cute pugs will help with recovery.. Fingers crossed that your pain is all your gallbladder playing up, then when it's gone, it's gone :j - I found you a poorly smiley :rotfl:

You seem to be managing to maintain really well tweets :T - are you finding it difficult?

Welcome Scarlet - i'm not sure where to find a list of yogurts that are free, but i'm sure there would be one on facebook or minimins.. i'm not a big yogurt fan sorry. If you are having two He b's then yes syn the lowest one, you want to keep as many syns as you can for other stuff

Sending you strength beanie - I hope she has a lovely service xxx

Saverupper - I don't really make a lot of curries, but could you use low fat crème fraiche or fromage frais to make it a bit more creamy? Or stir some yogurt through at the end..

Well that seems to have been an essay sorry..

I only came on to say i'm off to Brighton at the weekend and won't be back until Wednesday so if it's ok I'll post the chart on Wednesday night.. I'm taking my ipad so i'll still be keeping an eye on you all but I just can't get to the chart unless i'm on my laptop.

It's going to be horrendous for eating for the next few days so I've booked next week off class I imagine it'll be 7lbs on or something :eek: although we do a lot of walking so hopefully that'll burn off some calories!

Shala I am more or less following the SW I was doing to lose my weight but having a few more treats last week I had 2 cream cakes :drool:, a big tin creamy rice pudding :drool:, and some maltesers :drool:,

Enjoy your trip to Brighton

Hugs beanie,I hope you are ok tonight.xx
