Hi all

Sorry not got into the hang of posting every day and commenting again yet as I have been busy but am hoping things will slow down again soon and I can join in with the chat.

2.5lb loss for me this week. Congrats to all the losers and well done to SOTW (sorry did read who it was but have forgotten now !!) Good luck for the forthcoming week to everyone.

Morning all!

Sneaky weigh shows 1/2 lb gain with two days to go. I wonder if I can turn it around??

Does anyone else miss cereal in the morning? The measured amount just seems so tiny I don't usually bother. But I really miss it, especially for convenience.

So today's:
B- poached eggs on wholemeal slice.
L- hm soup I think
D- spag Bol with lots of speedy veg.
Have a good day! X

Morning everyone. Sorry for going MIA, but we moved house over the weekend and eating on plan went way out of the window about a week ago. Really struggling to get back on it this week - all the change, while good, is not doing my mental health any favours. I feel like I'm caught in a vicious cycle where there are boxes to unpack but I'm waiting on furniture to arrive so I can unpack said boxes and my OCD is going crazy! Have no idea where anything is so even if I wanted to workout, I can't find my trainers!

Will be trying to get back on plan this week but don't think my head is in it at the moment.

2 lb off for me please Shala


Not totally happy with that, but I think hormones can be blamed for it not being more.


Start of another week for me, and it's going to be a tough one.
Away with my Guides and the menu doesn't exactly fit with SW.


Here's how I'm thinking of managing:
Friday Supper - Soup and bread - I'm planning to take a mugshot for me, just need to check which ones are free
Saturday Breakfast - Bacon butties, cereal, bread and jam - I thought I would put some overnight oats in the fridge
Saturday Lunch - Sandwich, crisps, chocolate bar, tube yogurt, fruit - I'm planning on taking some SW quiche and Alpen light bars, and will have the fruit
Saturday Afternoon Tea - Hot chocolate and cake - I'll just have a coffee
Saturday Dinner - Fish and chips - We are at the seaside, have to have them, but saving up my syns for them
Sunday Breakfast - Continental - been away from a fridge too long to take my own speedy breakfast, hoping there will be fruit and I'll take some Alpen light bars
Sunday Lunch - At a caf! - Hoping there will be a jacket potato option.


Hoping by being good the rest of the week it won't be too bad. Will also be a lot more active than normal so will be burning more off.


Today's plan:
Breakfast - Yogurt and banana
Lunch - Salad(lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radish, beetroot, cress and peashoots with a cottage cheese dressing) and SW quiche (aspagus, tomato and egg)
Dinner - Speedy mince (add grated carrot, mushroom, pepper and onion) with butternut squash mash
Snacks - Melon, orange, apple, alpen light bars


HA - milk
HB - Alpen light bars


Syns = 0 - the fish and chips on Saturday better be good ones!

I know what you mean about it being really small in the bowl.
I've gone off cereal, partly because of the small quantity but also because I want my healthy extras for other things
When I'm wanting a convenient breakfast I go for a muller light and some fruit. Not the most filling but easy to grab.
Also if you prepare them beforehand, hard boiled eggs or SW quiche are very quick to grab, and non-messy too.

It's really difficult to stay on plan when everything is up in the air like that, but just think of all the extra calories you are burning moving boxes around
I would get some mugshots, fruit and Alpen light bars in, then you can grab healthy snacks without needing lots of cooking equipment.
While your head isn't in the right place it is so difficult, but having healthy stuff around you makes it easier, and things will soon get sorted and all settled down.

morning all, day 2 for me.
B: fat free yogurt and blueberries
L: salad with cheese HEA
unknown as yet!
snacks carrot sticks and celery sticks.

trying black tea and coffee today so that I don't need to use my HEA for milk, still struggling with getting HEB in.

Have also made an appointment with the gym for induction - just going to pay as I go for the minute to see if I can stick with it but hoping every little helps

Hi everyone. I've not been to group this morning as I'm going to try a new one on Friday. It's a brand new consultant and I think she may be full of enthusiasm and give me a bit of inspiration. I've stayed in range since before Christmas but as we go away in 4 weeks I definitely want to get to the bottom end (or dip below)
Today will be
He a milk
Heb 20g oats and hifi light
B oats, yog and berries
L sw chips and egg with chilli beetroot
D uncle bens lemon chicken (5.5) stirfry veg and rice
Snacks satsumas, hifi bar, grapes and maybe babybels with midsummer murders tonight.
I'll report back in the new group at the weekend.

:T to maisie and kathryna on your losses.


Good idea to have a change lush. Sometimes just making changes can have an effect. You might feel a bit deprived counting calories but if it kick starts your loss for a while then it's worth it.


lantanna, I've been trying to eat from cupboards and freezer too mainly because, like you, I'd like more room for HM ready meals. Unfortunately it meant that yesterday I was short of SW friendly snacks and, as I'd had an early dinner, succumbed to a couple of chocolates.:eek: You sound super organised for your weekend with the Guides kathryna. Being nosey, where are you off to?:)


greentiger, you sound really 'in the zone' at the moment. As you and the family always enjoy macaroni cheese then save syns for it. You could ask the family for another suggestion, might they like cottage pie or sausage and mash as a change?


lurker, that didn't look like very much food yesterday, be careful not to deprive yourself.:) You can have 2 Alpen light for your HEB.


madwithmoney, I agree about the pathetic portions of cereal. I only have it when I know I'm having an early/big lunch AND on WI day. Puffed Wheat seems the most generous (it's like popcorn so weighs 'light') but it's not very tasty although I enjoy it.


WJN, there are lots of options for HEBs. If you don't want bread or crackers, Why not try nuts or dried fruit or tinned soup?


ruby, be kind to yourself. :A When is the furniture meant to arrive?


DH is out for dinner to tonight so I'm going to celebrate with egg and chips! Bliss! :j


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, kippers, HEB bread, HEA milk for drinks
L: apple & cottage cheese (plan to snack on fruit as not much Speed later)
Egg and chips, mushrooms, tomatoes
Syns: scrape of spread
