Magic, dini (double woo!), Kaz and Sandhy (impressive progress).

I bought these scales a few weeks ago, Eliza,

but they seem to have increased in price by £10 since then!!!!

Jings, tweets, that’s some snow! I was out and about today and had to take my coat off! :rotfl: Lovely spring sunshine for a change.

Pre-breakfast: banana
Breakfast: didn’t happen!
Lunch: baked potato, tuna mayo (was eating out so guessing 3), salad
Snack: 20g Bombay Mix (5)
Dinner: teriyaki salmon (2), noodles, salad of lettuce, tomatoes, syboes, radishes, cucumber & beetroot
Snacks will be: hexb toast with hexa cheese, mmmmm!

Another Dechox day done and dusted. :A

Good luck for tomorrow.

Snow probably deeper now it didn't stop coming down heavy til early evening . I have shut it out. Went a lot colder I was glad when heating came on

Not looking forward to weekend walking to mums

Wow to the snow! I'm in the NE and we've had horizontal rain all day.

Thanks for the comments on the baked oats girls, love the sound of cinnamon on them Shrimpy!

Reporting a 1.5lb loss please Shala - taking me to 12st and half a pound. Bit annoying as was hoping to break into the 11st bracket, but hopefully next week.

Today:
B - 2x Alpen Light, banana
D - Lentil soup and sweet potato fries (from a cafe, no idea on syns )
T - Pork steak, grilled cherry toms, brocolli, fine beans, carrot and sweetcorn (used up all the limp veg from the freezer!
Snacks and drinks - Coffees (A,4), fruit tea, apples, Mullerlight, meringue (3), hot choc (2)

Over on my syns today I think. I'm off to my cousin's wedding tomorrow so going to have a SW full English for breakfast, partly because I don't know when we'll get fed, and partly to line my stomach Don't intend to stick to plan the rest of the day.

Have a good weekend all! x

Bit disappointed this week, gained 1/2 lb which is thanks to Tuesday night's kitkat and hula hoop binge. Had it been earlier in the week I could've pulled it back, but not 36 hours before WI! Oh well. It's a marathon, not a sprint (I keep telling myself this, it will stick at some point).

Took a food diary in the hope that having to write it all down will stop me from doing this again next WI (which will be star week, so I have no clue what to expect - it's usually a small gain or a STS but I actually lost 2 lbs last time, so I'm all of a whatnot!)

I'm just plodding onwards.

Hmmm, well, according to my SW class I have gained 1 lb last week!! How disappointing, particularly as I have STS on mine, which was also rubbish

I've never done SW before and my consultant still hasn't gone through it all with me - you can only weigh in before the class (fair enough) but then she does the newbies talk after the class, which is again fair enough, except I have twin babies with me who don't keep quiet for that long! It would be almost an hour in total and one or both of them would be wailing by then. I have a couple of questions, if anyone could help!

- how do I decide how many syns to have per day? My book just says between 5 and 15, is it a personal choice or does it go off your weight/ height/ target?
- do I have to eat my HEA and HEB every day? I often don't have the HEB as it's not enough porridge for me to feel like it's worth making it…..

Today I've had:

- breakfast: plums, pears - if I have time I have the porridge, but today was a rush!
- lunch: jacket potato with tuna mayo & sweetcorn - I did ask for it without the mayo, but it came with and I was too busy feeding babies to do anything
- dinner: salmon, 1/2 pack Tilda chilli rice (2.5 syns), green beans, peas

Other food: banana, hi fi bar, mushrooms, pasta (small portion left over from yesterday), hot chocolate made with Cadburys drinking chocolate and HEA milk.

I think I'll just be over on the syns thanks to the mayo, but I have walked 14K steps today and done my 30 day shred dvd

If anyone has any pointers/ tips that would be much appreciated!

Have ordered the MK decluttering book from library maman but I fear there will probably be a long wait.

The book is easy to read beg but MK is a bit of an oddball. If you can ignore all the airy fairy stuff there's a lot of sense about tidying up and it really does work although almost everyone I know adapts it to suit themselves.

Hello (again) ruby.


It's a shame your consultant organises the class like that, mine does her talk at the beginning while everyone's being weighed rather than at the end. I wonder if yours would let you arrive late one time for the talk and then weigh you herself afterwards.


I'd go for the full 15 syns a day at the moment. I've always had the maximum and still do.


On your menu for today, I'd just say there's a lack of Speed food. All you've had is what I've highlighted. I'm a bit of a fanatic but the EE plan says you must have at least a third of your food as Speed. IMO Speed food and planning are the most important parts of SW.


The HEXs are in the plan because you need the calcium and fibre. It's not essential and missing some days won't harm but you should try to plan them in. I tend to have wholemeal bread for my HEB most days as it's easy to measure. Others have things like Ryvitas or why not have something like Alpen lights (or similar) as they're easy to eat on the run either for breakfast or as a snack.


Just keep asking questions and you'll soon get into it.:)

Very quiet today! Where is everyone?

Rubyslippers - I think you need to talk to your consultant and explain the problem and like Maman said see if you can come in later one day for the talk and then weigh at the end. My consultant often weighs people at the end where they haven't been able to get to group early enough to weigh first. She also does the new starter talk while everyone else is getting weighed and then weighs the new starters at the end.

If she really isn't prepared to do that is there another group you could get to? She really doesn't sound very supportive to be honest.

Have decided on a Red day for a change today:

B - bacon & mushroom omelette
L - 227g Jacket potato (HEB1); HM chicken curry
D - Surf & Turf: steak, prawns, stir fried baby corn, tenderstem broccoli; green beans; mange tout; spring onions; peppers
S - 2 Dark Rye 0.5 HEB2; 35g blue cheese (HEA1); Rocky Road Hifi bar (0.5 HEB2)

HEA2 - milk in tea throughout the day

Syns - wine

Reporting a 3lb lossplease Shala!

Also got my 2 and a half stone award and slimmer of the week!
5.5lbs till my next award.

Going out for a meal this evening so will be off plan but good for the remaining 6 days before weigh in. Should be able to get back to the gym on a light basis now that I seem to be kicking this cold.

3.5lb loss for me please Shala! That gave me my 3 stone award too.

Rubyslippers - Unless you are extremely overweight, the syns will be 5-15 per day. How many in that range is personal preference. I tend to average around 10 per day, because I like to keep a little buffer in case I miscalculated anything. Some people like to use weekly counts as they use more over the weekend than through the week, but I find daily works better for me.

As maman said, the Healthy Extras are important but you don't have to use the B for porridge if it's not a large enough portion. You could have bread, crackers, cereal bars, dried fruits, even soups count. Check the lists in your book for specific brands, and there's more listed on the website if you have access to that. Sure there's something in there you could have as a snack.

FWIW, the new member talk is just the consultant reading over the book to you so you're not missing much you can't find yourself. But ask any questions in group (or here) if you're unsure!
