Thanks for the welcome backs x well done on all your losses since I've been gone.. :T:T you're all brilliant!I'm managing fine with the chart. It's good to keep busy. However if you are around 18th-27th (next Friday for a week), I am away, so someone to look after the chart whilst I'm away would be good, thanks
No problem at all

Hmmm a character and adventurer is not what I called him on Thursday evening :mad: He was lucky there was nothing coming the other way when he fell off otherwise he'd have been squished!
He's fine though, thanks, nothing broken, just a bit bruised around the ribs where the bike hit him.
Hi Alleycat, we had Braised Steak and gravy the other day, it's quite a favourite on here - you can easily adapt the recipe for the slow cooker.http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/braised_steak_with_gravy_24508 and it's very low in syns if you use spray oil. Fantastic weight loss as well :T well done for keeping the majority off.
So yesterday I wasn't completely on plan as my sister came to visit and we went out for lunch, but i'm working on a new system where I don't blow the whole day just because I've had one off plan meal. It worked ok and my tea was sw friendly :T along with not suddenly stuffing my face with biscuits and crisps and sweets all night because "i'd blown it anyway"!
Todays menu
Brunch - 2 boiled eggs, toast, flora (1)
Tea - roast chicken, spring onion mash, carrots, mange tout, 1syn gravy, 1.5 syn yorkshire pudding, 1.5 syn stuffing
Snacks - apple, carrots, crisps (5) chocolate pudding (4.5syns)
Tonight's main task is a meal plan but I've made a start with batch preparing my breakfasts for the week, it's fab, must start doing lunches too!
So 3 lots of carrot cake overnight oats made and 2 lots of apple and coconut yogurt overnight oats. Tomorrow's lunch will be leftover chicken in a Yorkshire pudding wrap (3syns) with salad.

Well done on your loss sunshinemummy :T
I've had a great day. It's our wedding anniversary and the sun was shining so we went to the seaside! I had a SW breakfast before we went (beans on toast) then just a coffee at lunchtime (DH had cake). Later we had fish & chips. Well it's the law at the seaside isn't it? :rotfl:
I was very SW conscious and took (I think IIRC) kathryna's advice and only ate some batter from the top.
Then I had a few gins to celebrate before we caught the train home.
So, no Speed :eek:. The only veg was beans and mushy peas. I'm calling it a synful Green day.
I had a NSV. I wore the same skirt today I had on last Monday. Last week it was uncomfortable around the waist, today it felt loose. Well it did before the fish and chips!
Back on plan 100% tomorrow. Hope we all have a good week coming up. We can do this!! :A0 -
Wow, some amazing losses. Put them all in the spreadsheet.
Had the weekend off, and amazingly, when purposefully not following the plan, I haven't wanted all the off plan stuff, so generally not a bad weekend, and well and truly within my syns.
Back on it today. Last day at work before my holiday, which I am really looking forward to, with decent pain relief I should be able to relax, even if I can't drink at all.
Today's plan:
Breakfast - fruit
Lunch - miso noodles
Dinner - stir fry
Snacks - strawberries, quavers, cereal bars, ginger sweets
HA - milk
HB - cereal bars
Syns - quavers (3), miso (0.5), ginger sweetsZebras rock0
