Well done Save-upper, that is fabulous.

Managing to live with your inlaws is a flipping big achievement x

Welcome and congratulations Mrs Ryan, that is one heck of a loss.

I am sure that you will look wonderful at your graduation, but I am more sure that people will be celebrating your academic success rather than the size of you clothes, but looking fabulous at the same time won't harm! x

Beanie, congratulations on DS MA. He must get his brains from mum!

Kathrynha, well done on the loss, it is good to see you having brambles... I am making the most of them x

Well done saver-upper


First day properly back on plan, and weigh in tonight. No idea how I have done whilst away. Food was bad, but I didn't have stupid amounts, but very bloated.


Today's plan:
breakfast - fruit
Lunch - pasta salad
Dinner - noodles
Snacks - aldi quavers, cereal bars, ginger sweets


HA - milk
HB - cereal bars
Syns - salad dressing (1), quavers (3), ginger sweets (worth it if I don't throw up)

Congratulations on getting back into your target range saverupper:T. I long to see the day. I'm just plodding along, still feeling fat, wouldn't be surprised if I've gained:(. I'll have to go to WI on Thursday as I'm away next week. I think I'll just have to take each day as it comes. I'd love to match your pound greentiger.


Hardly a SW day out at a food festival shala but I'm glad you and DH enjoyed it.:)


Good to see you posting MrsR. You've done well to get refocused by joining a new group and starting afresh. Do keep us posted in the countdown to your graduation.:)


That's good news about the Benefit bars denise. I keep some in (mainly do give DH a healthier biscuit option;)) but I do have an occasional one myself.


I'm having an easy day today, with a freezer meal for dinner. I've got a pile of ironing to do:( so I'm cosseting myself a bit.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB toast, 2 fried eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, HEA milk for drinks
L: ham salad
chunky chilli con carne with rice
Syns: none

that made me chuckle...but no :rotfl:


**edit - sorry this is an essay didn't realise until I'd posted feel free to skim/skip!**
I did really well at rugby on Saturday, I did have a few non-plan options but I also drank 3 litres of water. but then OH ordered a pizza as a surprise treat for my hard work, we'd already been out on the Friday for tea and Sunday wasn't much better. Sneaky weigh this morning said a stupid number on however not official weigh in until Thursday/Friday so fingers crossed none of it sticks!


Today:
breakfast: heb Weetabix (well aldis own version which are crazy tiny I have discovered!) with 125ml semi skimmed from hea, strawberries and half a banana
at work 2 x cup of tea with semi skimmed. made by a colleague so I'm calling that my hea for the day gone
lunch: small roast beef salad (pickled onion, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and roast beef) followed by apple slices and an easy peeler
tea: savoury mince type thing we make using minestrone soup. works out at about 5syns for the portion I think (can anyone confirm the syns in Morrison minestrone soup?) with wholegrain rice. will have mine with carrot, pickled beetroot, pickled red cabbage, and some other veg I find in the fridge/freezer


potentially daft q - I got frozen sliced mushrooms yesterday from aldi; are these still no syn?


I'm going to make some leek and potato soup this week, and also a butternut squash one (got a mix from asda, I think it works out to a couple of syns per portion) so I will start having those for lunches at work. I also have some chicken thighs in the freezer which I got reduced. I think I will roast them then shred add to a basic veg soup (carrots, onions, potatoes, will look for other soup friendly veg done in stock). I find soup really filling and it takes a decent amount of time to eat and very cost effective. A bit like my love of salad I often find myself looking forward to soups so that's nice too


breakfast wise I'm sticking with heb options and adding fruit and stuff on work days at the moment. days off its more like scrambled eggs with baked beans/tomatoes, mushrooms, ham/omelettes etc


evening meals. I'm working of a generic base for all of us then adding/removing bits for me as appropriate. Like tonight I'll pack my bowl with veg before I add my synned mince. Tomorrow it will likely be chicken and bacon so whilst the others have chips/waffles I'll have mine with salad.


I've started to pick things up for the holiday at the end of the month - we have one evening meal booked in a restaurant; I'm going to prepare (and make note of syns) the three other evening meals (we aren't sure what we will do on the Friday yet - whether we come back or tag an extra weekend away somewhere on) so I'm thinking a lasagne (can pack on the salad for me), chicken and bacon (serving mine with salad) and the last one will probably be something like toad in the hole where I'll take theirs prepared and for me I'll take some low syn sausages. serve mine with a jacket potato in place of their chips and veggies for everyone. I'm not in denial I know there will be syns from pancakes etc however I can plan ahead for breakfasts and evenings to work around those will also take apples, satsumas, strawberries, hard boiled eggs etc. On day one we will be at longleat to see the animals so I plan to pack a picnic with finger sandwiches, pasta salad and lots of fruit etc. I will have fruit for brekkie so can use my heb at lunch. tea that day is in one of the restaurants so I'll flex for that. loads of swimming and walking all week too though


power in the planning :j

Glad you had a good holiday Kathryn and now back on plan. Your menu today looks like a Green day so you could in fact have another HEA and HEB if you wanted (I would but then I'm greedy!)

Welcome back Mrs R - you've made a fantastic restart - over a stone in 8 weeks is brilliant. I'm sure you'll hit your 2 stone by your graduation. Your meals are looking great.

LLS - you are right about "power in the planning". I always plan (a month at a time for me but of course it's never set in stone and can easily be changed as and when necessary).

I've not long been back from DD1s where me and DH have been having a go at her back garden - have taken about a dozen bags on garden rubbish plus loads of old wood to the tip over the last couple of day. We'll still need to go back, probably at the weekend, to try and finish the back garden. We used some weedkiller today so hopefully that will have taken effect by then. Don't like using it but her garden is so overgrown it's a necessary evil. Could have done without doing this before going on holiday but what can you do, she needed help!

Today's plan is a Green day:

B - spicy beans on toast - with onions, tomatoes, peppers chopped in along with some chilli flakes worcester sauce
L - HM hummous (2 syns); 2 Ryvita; cucumber; strawberries & quark
D - HM veg curry with rice (made yesterday - other half in freezer to have when we get back from our holiday)

HEA - milk
HEB1 - bread
HEB2 - 2 Ryvita; Alpen Light bar this evening with a cuppa

Syns - Hummous 2.
