Hi Can I join in please
I'm 4 weeks in at my local SW group (3 weigh in's)

I have lost - 11lbs so far. After a 'Black Hole Saturday which continued into Sunday I'm struggling.

Any ideas to stay on track would be great

I was just a bog standard fatty who had a lifestyle of drinking too much and stopping at petrol stations for pork pies, crisps and pasties so I'd assumed everyone was the same:o.


[/QUOTE] Oh those were the days :rotfl:


Petrol stations have a lot to answer for in my book!! Years ago I used to do a 90 mile round trip to work and couldn't help but stop at a garage in the mornings for a sausage soda or something like that to eat in the car and then on the way home it was crisps etc! There is much healthier fare available to grab and go these days

Welcome jill. :T on your 11lbs loss, only 3 to go for your first stone. That should motivate you!:)


I'm sure you'll get plenty of support on here. Sometimes just posting regularly helps to keep motivated and although we're not judgemental there is an element of accountability. Any ideas what triggered the 'black hole'?


I'd say the best way to keep motivated is to plan, plan, plan. That's for all your meals and if you're a snacker plan for those too. So every week I do a SW friendly meal plan and a shopping list to match.


I'm sure others will be along with their tips too:).

Hi Maman
I had a small dinner party on Saturday night arranged weeks ago. I cooked tasty non SW food, including a very high syn dessert with cream. Me and hubby had the leftovers on Sunday and had a sweet tea.
I'm one of these people 'when I'm good I'm very very good and when I'm bad I loose control'

Monday was on plan, yesterday too many syns to count.

Today - Brunch - 2 egg omlette with bacon/onion, mushy peas

Tea - Mayflower curry with dried noodles and mushy peas
Dessert - jelly and fruit

syns - not had any yet
HEB - not had yet
HEA - Milk

Welcome Jill. Agree with Maman you need to plan everything.

Mushy peas don't count as Speed food - they are Protein. On EE you should be having at least 1/3 Speed food.

You say you haven't had any syns today but I thought there were syns in the Mayflower curry and there are definitely syns in the jelly - even the sugar free jelly crystals are 1.5 for the pack which makes 4 portions so should be synned at 0.5 syn per portion.

What fruit did you have with it? If it was tinned that would be syns as well.

Hope you don't mind me pointing this out.

so 2 syns for the Mayflower Curry.
Are peas and onion speed

In the SF jelly I put frozen berries, I will have 2 portions so 1 syn

so that makes 3 syns so far. See how easy it is to forget

Peas are not Speed but Protein so don't count towards your 1/3. You should try to have more Speed foods other than just the onions and frozen berries. The plan will work without the 1/3 Speed but works far better if you can increase the level.

Thanks everyone, both for SOTW (well done muso girl) and the best wishes for my gran, mum rang this evening, gran has decided not to have treatment and wants to be at home with palliative care. She's 87 and feels like she doesn't want to go through it all again (the tumour on her chest wall is believed to be secondary cancer from when she had breast cancer years ago)
We will hopefully find out in the next few days what sort of time frame we're looking at... Just feel very sorry for my poor mum

Weigh in tomorrow morning, it's been a funny week of messed up shifts, I'm not really sure how I've done!

Yesterday I had:
B: banana
L: chicken salad
lamb steaks with spinach
HeA milk in tea
No HeB , haven't had for a few days now, not intentional!
Syns: 175ml red wine, options hot choc, Caesar dressing

I'm going to try to do SP next week from tomorrow, ordered a load of salad so will have fish and meat and salad all week!

Well done to all the losers, hugs to those who need it! X

Ohh I didn't know peas werent speed.... Thanks for the heads up!

Today Ive gone back to work. Thought I'd blown it by eating 2 slices of pizza however when I think about it, I had NO other syns today! Not even a curly wurly!

Breakfast was satsuma and grapes.

Lunch was sw chips, egg and loads of beetroot!

Tea/Supper/Snack was the pizza and some more fruit.

Working late again tomorrow but have picked up some thins so I know I can have a "free" pizza. Thin as my HEX, cheese as my HEA, and use chicken and red onion as a topping, lol.
