Weigh in for me tonight. Hoping for another good loss, but feeling rather hormonally bloated at the moment.


Todays plan:
Breakfast - yogurt and apple
Lunch - salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, radish, beetroot) with cottage cheese as dressing and sw quiche (tomato, asparagus and egg)
Dinner - Chicken casserole (chicken, bacon, courgette, mushroom, onion, carrot, garlic, rice, stock and spices)
Snacks - orange, melon, alpen lights bars


HA - milk
HB - Alpen light bars

morning all - so first proper day on plan today - done some serious reading and meal planning last night!

B: FF Yogurt and clementine
L: Chicken salad with 60g blue cheese (need to figure out sins for that)
Snacks: carrot sticks and celery sticks
No bun burger and salad.
HEA: milk for tea and still need to figure out my HEB!

appreciate any thoughts people have - I need all the help I can get!

Morning everyone

Was surprised to read about your horrible consultant Lantanna its as if she's on commission for pounds lost. :mad:

Have had overnight oats with ff skyr and berries this morning
Lunch will be a jacket potato with cheese (syned) beans and salad
Dinner possibly cod baked in tinned toms cannellini beans sweetcorn and peas with sweet potato mash and cauli
Milk for teas and coffee
Yoghurts, fruit and alpen light for snacks

Using up stuff in the freezer I have some mince thats less than 12% not 5%.:eek: I refuse to let it go to waste even it it is just a couple of quid. Anyone know what the syns will be? It'll be dry fried and drained before being made into something fabulous :rotfl:

Had singing swede with my tea last night, might be my new favourite thing, 50p from Asda and I must have eaten half of it on my own with black pepper and SW onion gravy


Today!


Slept in so had a quick ham and egg mayonnaise sandwich (1 syn lighter than light mayo) and two apples.


Dinner is chicken noodle soup and sliced melon.


Tea is SW spaghetti bolgnese. Maybe another swede


HEXA is milk in tea. 2 syns for hot chocolate and 2.5 for some salt and vinegar sunbites popcorn will leave me on 5.5 for the day.


Not poorly as such Maman , think everything just caught up with me a bit so I took a couple of flexitime days off work and looked after myself a bit, loads of sleep, tv and junk


A better week this week.


Congratulations to all the losers this week!

WJN222, I think that 60g of blue cheese would be 12 syns. Good luck on your SW journey :T

:T to chocomonsta and too much worry on your losses.

I used potato, brussel sprouts, onion, courgette, peas & sweetcorn.

I was reading that there's a national shortage of courgettes because of poor weather in Southern Spain. Spinach, lettuce and aubergine likely to follow suit. What's it like where you are lois?

Maman, I know there is a distinct lack of veg here. I was late home and phoned DH to get him to sort the dinner; I gave him explicit instructions on how to heat the leftover beef in the gravy and that he’d need to do potatoes and also veg from fridge or freezer. He said all he could find were green beans but he decided they’d take too long (he had an hour!) so he made Yorkshire puddings instead -

:eek: Don't you just love men's logic! I think you did brilliantly to stay in syns.:)

this was after a maintain the week before so I upped my syns (sometimes/usually I don't have any syns) I have made sure I am eating HE As + Bs and it seems to have worked

January is just one of those yuk months - its hard to stay positive when the weather is so gloomy - bring on the sunshine.

That's good advice: the plan is written with syns and HEXs to give a healthy balance of food groups and optimise the chances of weightloss.


We'll all have bikini bodies by the time the sun shines!:D


Sorry to hear about the issues with your medication larumbelle. I agree that doing SW is one thing we can control and it gives a structure. That helps me when other things are going a bit haywire:).


I was well behaved at the nibbles party last night. It was predominately cakes, biscuits and chocolates, probably Christmas leftovers.:rotfl:All I ate was a quarter, crustless salmon and cucumber sandwich. It was wholemeal and I couldn't taste any butter or mayo so probably 3 syns. When I got home I had cold chicken, a small JP, cottage cheese and beetroot.:D


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB toast, ham, 2 fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms
L: JP with veggie chilli, cottage cheese and pickles
SW Bolognese with tagliatelle
Syns: NONE!

That looks OK.


There might be syns in the burger depending whether it's HM or branded but you'll have 3 to spare after your cheese.


It's not 100% EESP (Extra Easy Speed Protein) because of the yogurt (I'm assuming a free one) but why aren't you having any carbs? What about chips with your burger? You don't want to get hungry and start munching later.:)


The 12% mince is 2 syns per 100 grams haylarulu but draining will help keep it low. Not too bad really.

Wow. A friend & I have just tried the Iceland SW chilli noodles.
All you could taste was heat & not in a good way!!
My friend only managed two mouthfuls!!!!

That will probably explain why I've been struggling to find courgettes in Aldi and Morrisons since Christmas

I'm not seeing much positive about any of the SW fridge range at Iceland. Was thinking of calling in on the way home one day to get some, but thinking I won't bother now
