    Well done, Saver (fab, indeed).

    kathrynha, your achievements are wonderful, considering all the issues you’re dealing with.

    Ruthy, I can’t ever remember a no syn day, not to mention also missing out on hexb!

    Glad you’re starting to recover, Tete.

    Meant to ask greentiger what's the basil and balsamic vinegar? I just wondered why it had syns.

    maman, it was my fried veg that needed syns – Don’t tell anyone but I used a tsp of olive oil between me and DH. The basil and balsamic vinegar was my dressing. It tasted fab btw.

    Tuesday
    Pre- breakfast: banana
    Breakfast: hexb All Bran, ML orange yogurt with chocolate sprinkles
    Lunch: omelette with ham, syboes, mushrooms, mixed salad, liberte blueberry yogurt
    Dinner: pasta with Bolognese sauce, Parmesan (2 ½ ), melon, hm banana muffin (9)

    I weighed in on Monday evening. Totally forgot to post it on here.
    I lost 1 lb this week.

    Enjoying my sessions at the gym. I went 4 times last week!

    Just 5 more weigh ins until I go on holiday. I'm hoping to shift another 1/2 stone.

    Well done on your loss Shiprob.


    I'm feeling inspired to try the KFC recipe at some point. Sounds like something my family will love.


    Feeling inspired and motivated again after last nights shock STS.
    I WANT my 3 stone certificate before I turn 40!


    Today's plan:
    Breakfast - yogurt and strawberries
    Lunch - cheese salad
    Dinner - Frittata
    Snacks - strawberries, grapes, melon, cereal bars, hula hoop puffs


    HA - milk and cheese
    HB - cereal bars


    Body magic, yesterdays step total was 8700. Back in the office today, so a little more difficult, but an active evening planned, so hoping to pass my 6000 target, with at least 10 minutes registering as active on the fitbit.

    Morning all! The rain has stopped here so I feel all motivated and energised, though it was a good excuse to stay indoors and 'rest my foot' yesterday :D Feeling a lot better cold-wise and ankle-wise today.

    Well done Kathryn! I don't know what's gone on but I get the impression you've been having a rough time.

    B - Smoothie (100g frozen rasp, strawb, blackberry and blackcurrant mix (1), banana (4), spinach, couple blobs FF nat yog, 1 tsp chia seeds (B)) = 5
    D - Salad: shredded crabsticks, two boiled eggs, grated carrot and beetroot (1), cucumber, cherry toms.
    T - SW Spring Chicken Stew
    HEA - Milk
    HEB - Chia seeds in smoothie, 1 Alpen Light
    Syns - Smoothie (5), beetroot (1), sugar (3), hot choc (2) = 11

    Have a good day all, hope the sun is shining where you are!
    Weightloss: 14.5/65lb

    A bit like me confusing things with my quavers the other week, as the Aldi version are lower than the proper ones and I couldn't be bothered to type Aldi cheese curls :)

    tough few days in my head for me. saw the GP today - not much help tbh. as there's only a tiny fluctuation in my weight between today and this time last year when I last asked them for help they aren't really bothered. she has said to have another blood test but doesn't expect my levels to be any different to last time. Has referred me for the 'get healthy get active scheme' which offers reduced price fitness sessions but I need to see if that will fit in (i.e sessions available on a Monday) I got a card for £2 which gives me a smaller discounts on pay as you go gym/classes and have to use that for a couple of weeks then I can get a reduced membership at the gym anyway.


    food not so great yesterday - started well but work friend surprised me with quesadillas for lunch (chicken, peppers, tomatoes and coriander but in a white wrap (no idea on syns) and with cheese (no idea how much) tea was pasta and meatballs but lower syn sauce than usual. wasn't in the frame of mind to count syns etc but I tried.


    Was all energised until I saw the gp and that's left me a bit down but trying today. breakfast was 35g shreddies (heb) with half hea semi skimmed
    lunch will be a jacket potato (from home) with homemade speedy pulled pork (baked beans, tinned toms, onion, 2 types of pepper, mushrooms, carrot, fresh toms etc) and baby corn (no idea if that's speed? guessing not
    tea: oh is having quiche - I'll make some baked omelettes so looks pretty similar and salady bits. how many syns in a morrisons savers bacon quiche out of interest?


    can anyone help with the syns of a treat sized curly wurly and 50g mozzarella?
