Hello all and welcome IntheRed.

Another measly 1lb off please Shala and I'm soooo not going to hit my stupidly ambitious target for this challenge :rotfl: but despite my whinge last week it's ok.

I'm now in the next stone bracket which feels good (ok only by the skin of my teeth but hey who cares?:rotfl:) and my size 16 trousers are feeling loose. It's funny that - I was wearing 18's which tbh were tight with the occasional size 20 and it took 3.5 stone off to drop a single clothes size but this last 6lbs has nearly brought me down another size - where's the logic in that???

so it's a much deserved STS for me this week; after pizza/kfc/mcds/bread (don't usually eat much).


Today slightly over syns but otherwise ok:
Breakfast: bran flakes (HeB) with milk from HeA, peppermint tea
lunch: jacket potato with spinach, baby plum tomatoes, cucumber and chicken with 25g philedelphia lightest (1 syn) and a choc mini roll (6 syn)
mid afternoon: (freezing in office I was working from today) 2 morrisons NUME hot chocolates - not sure on syns but in my head it's 2 each? another mini roll (6 syn)
tea: sw meal - beef in red onion gravy with veg crush. I add mixed veg which I steamed in the microwave. It was LUSH! and even littlie was asking for more we will share that again


other drinks: water, regular tea


plan for tomorrow:
breakfast: HeB bran flakes with milk from HeA, peppermint tea
lunch: spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, cooked chicken, beetroot, pickled onion and a handful of pasta with free salad dressing
mid afternoon: apple
tea: think we will try the sw pork sausages with tinned potatoes fried with a little spray of fry light, tomato and mushrooms (done in the oven with the sausages) and baked beans


will do a walk in place of my lunchtime


Hoping littlie drops off soon (fighting it atm) then I can think about getting to bed early

I am taking some dire oral suspension thing.
It tastes truly dire.
I have been eating to try & take the taste away.
Foul.

Well I thought I’d posted this last night! Must have been the football trauma!

Oh, b_e_g, I’m sure it’ll just be a blip! You’ll get there ok. Thanks for thinking about me.

Thank you, shala. I can tell you I needed that – I was feeling a bit like b_e_g is now – although I see she’s making some jokes now, so must be starting to put it behind her.

Well done, Tulip, queen of cheap, committed, Mavvers and Arkers

Cheese I had two thirds of a Burns Supper (I don’t like haggis) with sausages and sugar free irn bru to wash it down, lol. lantanna, that wild beast was probably a haggis; I caught one for DH that had wandered into our garden, so it was nice and fresh, lol.

Delighted about wee Tug’s good news. Arkers.

lantanna, you definitely will see a lot of changes there now, all for the better, although not at Dens Park or Tannadice!

Bad result in Dundee for us – and I forgot to take my wine gums again!). I didn’t have anything else, not even a nibble of DH’s macaroon bar, so 9 syns in total today.

Wednesday
Breakfast: hexb muesli, ff Greek yogurt
Lunch: smoked mackerel salad, mayo (1), pear
Dinner: tomato & mixed pepper pasta, Eton Mess (3)
Snacks: pineapple, hexa cheese & cherry tomatoes, shortbread finger (5)

Good Luck all, tomorrow is clean slate.

Hope you’re feeling better, Abbafan.

Good for you, LindseyandMatthew, candyapple, dragonb4 (wow!),orlao and Midge.

Glad you’ve decided to keep up the challenge, b_e_g.

Come right in and make yourself at home, InTheRed.

Delighted you have a man who can be a good support, lantanna. Keep us posted.

Oh beanie, you are my heroine – I cannot take any medicine in liquid form at all! I’d be spewing all over the place. I hope the nasty has the desired effect very soon.

Well, I didn’t have the shortbread today after all, but I did have 2 Galaxy mini eggs for 3 syns. Just enough as they were a bit sweet. So today’s syns totalled 7. I am happy with that – and satisfied!

Thursday
Pre Breakfast: banana
Breakfast: LMcC roro sausage, bacon, tomato, mushrooms
Lunch: hexa light philly, smoked salmon, tomato
Dinner: roast beef, roast potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, gravy (1)
Snacks: melon, strawberries, WW lemon slice (4), Thornton’s mini caramel shortbread (4)

“Choice, not chance, determines destiny.” – E.C. McKenzie
Let’s all be determined to have a great day!

Poor you. I hope the foul stuff is syn free!;)


I heard about your result greentiger.:( Many commiserations, now you'll have to 'concentrate on the league' like us.;)


Szechuan beef was very tasty but the noodles were horrid. I used Batchelors super noodles for the first time, had them in the cupboard to try. Tasteless mush but probably my fault although I did follow the cooking instructions. Next time I'll stick to 'straight to wok' worth a few syns.


I've also been snacking on the wholegrain melba toasts with smoked salmon scraps on top. Yummy!!

Popping by with -3lbs this week. I know I only post weekly results but am following the thread as best I can - it moves so fast. I'm getting lots of helpful advice so thank you :T

Well done to everyone this week too.
