Breakfast: Dorset cereals muesli (he) with blueberries and banana
Lunch : chicken with couscous, courgette, fennel, cherry tomatoes, roasted peppers, melon and ham. Black Forest gateau probably about 20000 syns
Dinner : mug shot, fat free yogurt

Weigh in tomorrow

I know it's a drop in the ocean when you had 20 000 syns in the Black Forest Gateau but be aware that blueberries and bananas aren't Speed food. You had loads with your lunch but I always feel free fruit and veg is a wasted opportunity.


Meal with SIL was a big success. BIL is great to cook for as he thoroughly enjoyed it. Amazing that we could have such a lovely main for just half a syn shared between four people!:eek: Most of us then added 2 or 3 syns with the mini meringues with the Eton mess. I just love SW!!:D


:wave: sue. obviously if your DD has done SW before she'll know a lot but do ask if there's anything you're unsure of.:)

Hi all

Busy weekend so just a quick catch up. Congrats on all the losses.

meg hope you enjoy your birthday bash next weekend. The venue looks lovely.

Welcome Sue, good luck on the challenge and for losing weight for your holibobs.

Well I had a mixed weekend. I was really good on Saturday until the evening and then had a glass or few of wine and I ended up having crisps then I woke up with a bit of a hangover yesterday which was fine as I had a big SW breakfast but at about 3pm I was hungry and fancied something carby so ended up having more crisps. so disappointed with myself as I had even had a subway salad on Saturday when we were out shopping instead of the normal chinese I treat myself to at the food court.

So back on track today and see if I can salvage even 1/2 lb off which would be great.

Today's menu:
Breakfast: toast (HeB), jam (1 syn) and DG coffee (2.5 syns)
lunch: ham salad
dinner: salmon, baby new potatoes, babycorn, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower
snack: yoghurt,

I never eat Butterbeans??? :eek: Is this something I’m missing? I recall seeing Butterbean Butterboom recipe on the SW Website once which caused me great amusement!
Good work with the weeding Beanie, I will have to do that some day very soon if it ever stops raining! It has not been done Post Op so it will get out of hand very soon!
Well done on your loss Joee! That’s amazing! :T
3 Chocolates is better than 10 Maman!
I got 4 Grapefruits for a £1 in Lidl on Saturday we get different offers in NI though so prob no use to anyone but me! But that's my 3 o'clock work snack sorted for the week.
Shala thank goodness I don’t have a Hungry Horse!:eek: Anything with Dips gets my vote! Well done on your loss, things are moving in the right direction! Yes sometimes I get fed up about thinking about food and would like to just eat without having to think about it or plan it! It will pass again lovely.


Glad to hear the dating is going well! 1940s girl, take it as a bonus that he lives further away. You can pick and choose when you get to see him, the time is more special and you get to have your own life too!


You have some willpower Lois, not sure I could be so strong around Fish and Chips!!
Exciting times Meg, your just right to have held back on meeting the family. I’m sure you will all have a fab time! Burning!!! Good weather?? I know I am in across the pond from you all but my goodness its like full blown autumn here!
I still need to get myself organised with the ebaying BEG, well done you! Talking of Windows 10 I saw the ad last night with the little Pug and the guy pretending it had wet its self over the laptop, Genius ! lol
Don’t beat yourself up too much Masie M you are only human, that’s what the weekends are for being a little off track and now you’ve reigned it in!


So I managed the gym 4 times last week and I can see my legs toning up again quickly.


Foodwise was pretty good and talked myself out of having silly foods over the weekend! Got my what do I want more head on to be slim or eat this rubbish! Been a long time since that head has been about. I have the Size 14s on today and they are too big. Not really sure what I am doing foodwise today but I will get on it. I def want to keep going and get this weight off – motivation central!
So in other news my first niece arrived on Saturday. I haven’t seen her yet she is in Neo natal for now. My sister her mother is doing well. She stopped breathing a few hours after birth and has fluid in her lungs so she is being looked after in Neo Natal. It doesn’t seem real until I see her but I can wait until she is better. One day at a time.:)
I took Mum and Dad Sandwiches, Sweets and Buns last night and they were glad of them they are worn out! Sugar is much needed in these situations! See if I’m not eating the things I will force them on others!! Lol

Welcome to the thread

Welcome newbies. As others have said there will always be someone around to help you with any questions. If you want to post your menus we can also have a look to see if you're following the plan properly, even though I'm at target I still post my menus most days as it seems to help keep me on track most of the time, although I tend to not stick to plan as much at weekends - usually going over and reining it back in between Monday and Wednesday with WI on Thursday morning.

As usual over my syns at the weekend but had only had 2.5 syns on Thursday evening so when I totted up all my syns from Thursday to Sunday I'm not far off having the right amount for the 4 days (only over by 0.5 syns! - that's gotta be a 1st!).

Syns for this week then will be the full 15 as far as possible, although I do find that difficult without the wine syns, LOL!

An EE day today:

B - scrambled eggs on toast; a few strawberries & grapes
L - prawn salad - lettuce, cucumber, spring onions, pepper, cornichon, beetroot, cherry tomatoes (from the garden); ff dressing
D - SW meatballs in HM ratouille sauce with pasta. Not had the meatballs before so hoping they're nice, although not holding my breath as the other SW meals I've tried I've not been impressed with! But if they're horrible at least I'll have some pasta & a veggy tomato sauce to eat!

HEA - milk in tea throughout the day
HEB - bread
Syns - 2 biscoff biscuits - 3; fruit split lolly 4; not sure what else if anything

Sounds like the new kitchen is coming along nicely tweets. Then you'll be able to fill the cupboards with healthy food!


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS Ribena, HEB toast, baked beans, HEA milk for teas
L: just grazing on LO strawberries as dinner earlyish
courgettes stuffed with savoury mince, cabbage, carrots, peas and new potatoes.
Syns: scrape of spread


Out dancing tonight so I'll get some Body Magic in. Oh, and does ironing count?:(

Woo Hoo Lantanna on the arrival of your neice :T:j:T:j . You'll make a super duper auntie I am sure . Hope she gets a bit stronger each day and is at home with her family very soon.

Haven't seen the Windows 10 Ad - we tend to record the stuff we think we might want to watch and then fast-forward through the ads. Will have to watch out for that one though :rotfl:

Just love butter beans btw

Currently I do not possess any smart trousers as I have just sold my last pair on fleabay last night :eek:. I cannot remember a time when I didn't have at least 2 or 3 pairs hanging in the wardrobe. Waiting for Sainsbobs to annouce 25% off clothing and then I think I will treat myself to a nice pair of grey ones I think this time. Trying to steer away from the default colour - black :eek:

DH has just gone out to put some feed and weed stuff on the lawn before it rains (looks very imminent) but will probably not be sufficent to water the granules in so I have been told that it will be my job to water it in.

Got SW wi tonight - cannot remember what I was the week before last but I think I will be looking at a gain tonight. Still trying to undo damage from wedding, afternoon tea and family meal out. Scales didn't really go up as much as I expected but the gain is taking some shifting especially since I have been really really really really good since last Wednesday . However I enjoyed my off plan stuff, a line was drawn and I know that it will shift eventually.

Will check back in with you all later.

In my opinion ironing counts as body magic maman . Enjoy your dancing tonight.
