Ooh gawd CP, hope those anti b's start working for you quickly! You must feel pretty pants

I made a really nice syn free 'ratatouille' type thing yesterday that actually tastes better today cold with a tin of mackerel! I guess you could add bacon and potatoes to it to pad it out and make a proper meal instead of a side, think I'll do that later!
1 onion, chopped into small wedges
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 pointy red 'sweet' pepper, chopped
3 biggish mushrooms, sliced fairly thickly
Stirfry in frylight, add in a chicken stock pot, keep stirring til dissolved
Add a small tin of sweetcorn, drained and a small tin of chopped plum tomatoes,
Snip in some fresh chives, simmer for a min. Think I'll cook some lean bacon medallions and potatoes and mix it in! Syn free I believe?!?!

I'm regretting saying I'll aim for another 4lb loss for wed night/thurs morning class... Feeling the pressure! :rotfl:

Plan for today:
B: ratatouille and mackerel, mullerlight, satsuma
L: 3 sesame ryvita's (HxB) ć 1 x35g light Philly (HxA)
ratatouille with added bacon and potatoes, apple, mullerlight
Milk in tea, rest of HxA
Syns: I'm out of wine :eek::eek:
Not sure what I've got, maybe a bag of crisps...

Good luck to anyone weighing in! Thanks for the "well done B17c"'s!! :T

Morning all (only just here!)

Well, something is working - I've been weighing every morning and it's going in the right direction! I know it's a bad idea to weigh every day, and I won't keep doing it.

Welcome to all the new people, pull up a chair and join in the chat. :beer:

CP - hope you feel better soon. The forum rules about medical discussions are to prevent people asking for and giving medical advice, so you're fine to share that you're poorly.

Well, have to go, things to do.

Have a good weekend everyone.

That's absolutely right CP, don't feel you can't have a moan on here about anything and everything!!:rotfl:


It's grey, dark, windy and pouring with rain here lois.:( Good news that scales seem to be moving in the right direction. No problem with regular weighing provided it motivates you and you're aware (as I know you are) that fluctuation happens across a week or even a day.


I'm in the lantanna school of thought since getting to target and only weigh about every 3-4 weeks. Feeling good at the moment, but it may be because there's more stretch in today's jeans:D.


I've had SW winter breakfast (HEX porage with milk) and will report back later when I've done meal plan and shop. I wish I didn't have to venture out but didn't go shopping yesterday as we were out with family.

I'm actually a fan of weighing every day. As long as you can mentally cope with the daily fluctuations, I've found it quite helpful in the past. But I'm trying really hard not to do it this time, I'm aiming to only weigh on my scales the same morning I weigh in at group just so all the stats sync to my fitbit account.

2.5lb loss for me this week Shala, which is what I was aiming for. I only needed 0.5 for my first ever shiney :T but this keeps me on track for Christmas. Now it's just 2lb per week to hit my year end target. Should be achievable - not working at the moment so don't have any office parties to worry about, thank goodness!

Today's menu...
Breakfast - Quark, berries and sprinkle of granola (1/2 HEB)
Treat after group - Latte (1/2 HEA + 1/2 syn for choc shot)
Lunch - Leftover BNS soup, ryvita and dairylea (1/2 HEA and HEB)
Dinner - Fry up. Was going to be lunch but CBA :rotfl:

Again one of those days that could go either EE or SP. Think I'll go SP so I can have some HiFis for pudding. I am fully addicted to the choc orange ones, taste exactly like Terry's

Rest of syns... probably a hot chocolate with marshmallows, given the horrible weather!

Congratulations on the shiny!! That's a good loss.:) I've never set out to do SP for any length of time but it's a good idea to have the occasional day or even meal when you can. It all helps.


B17c, not sure if it was you said you couldn't eat pasta but, if not, ratatouille makes a super pasta bake. I generally add a bit of paprika or chilli powder to give it some zing, mix with cooked pasta (shells are good) then bake. Ideally add a bit of grated cheese on top if you have some HEA going spare.


I've ventured out and done the food shop so all good to go now.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage with HEA milk
L: cold chicken with fried LO veg (mostly cabbage and carrots)
chicken stir fry (mushrooms, pepper, sugar snaps, broccoli, carrot) with rice and chips
Syns: squirt of syrup, tbsp. honey and wine syns;)

Back from group. 2lb lossfor me this week.

shala - not sure if you saw my post earlier in the week, but could I set my target as 14lbsplease?

Todays menu:

B - Hifi (HEB), banana
S - Hifi (HEB)
L - Bacon, leek and potato soup
S - Milky way crispy rolls (6.5), clementine
D - Mexican lasagne (2), Salad, dressing (0.5, ff greek yoghurt, frozen berries

Possibly some popcorn or jelly in the evening but trying to get out of the habit of snacking for the sake of it. Also going to try and up my water intake this week as currently about 80% of my daily fluid intake is made up of Pepsi Max!

Whoops! Don't know how I managed to do that with the formatting!

Thank you! I'm finding what is working for me is to have SP breakfast and lunch (which they normally are anyway) and then choosing which way I want to go for dinner. My consultant was fine with continuing on SP, as long as I work in some EE days whenever I feel like I need the carbs. I think it'll end up about 50/50. Some meals need potatoes. :rotfl:

L - jacket potato, beans, cheese (0.5 HEA)
