I've been to class to see what the damage was and I'm reall pleased to say it was only +1LB so I'm still in range (by the skin of my teeth) and will keep up the non boozing until I get to the airport in just over a week. I didn't stay to class as it was a taster session and I didn't fancy curry for breakfast I did buy some of the new coconut hifi though as they were out to taste and they are delicious.
Today's plan is :-
He a milk
He b hifi bars
B nectarine and hifi
L sw chips, egg and beetroot
D subway salad (at cricket) probably teriyaki chicken with cheese and olives (7) hifi bar. I'm driving so can easily avoid the booze.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Has anyone seen Lois Lane around? I miss her posts!
Also Lush hasn't checked in for ages, it's great to have all our newbies but I do miss the oldies.

Been busy for the last week. So have not been keeping up to date with the thread. Takes a bit of time to read it. Worth it seeing what everyone is going through and the highs and lows. I see this as my extra group, but unlike the group I go to you are here all the time.

Went to WI last night and I have lost 2.5lbs Total now 9 lb so got my half stone award. Hazel lost 3 lbs Total now 25 lbs. Club 10 award and SOTW.

Bit of background nearly 53 married to Hazel for 33 years. 2 Sprogs DS 30 on Wednesday Lives 200 miles away. DD 33.5 Lives at home! :eek: Spent 24 years in British Army. Left 12 years ago. Never found anything that I wanted to do so have done a few jobs. Last working for M&S (Hazel works in the store I started in) for 5.5 years. Left in Feb 2016 because I could financially and because I had enough of the wrong sort of customer. Don't get me wrong enjoyed the job but it got to the point that I felt like planting a few customers! Am looking for a new career but not sure what.

Right now off to ride 40k's on the bike. :cool:

Kathrynha - sorry that you are struggling - hope that you will be feeling better emotionally and physically very soon. I agree with the others... if your head is not in the game, just take a little time of SW. You don't have to go crazy but I am sure you can do without having to think whether something is SW friendly or syns and what not right now xx

Well done to all with the losses and commiserations for the gains - hopefully this week will be a better week.

I am in a right moody today after being agitated by my idiotic client who doesn't bother to read my emails.. leading to more work for me at an already very busy and stressful time at work! Feel like stuffing my face to feel better.

:T to esmy on your loss and well done for sorting out multi-quote!;)


:T to you and hazel on your losses too merlin. I'm sure hazel is thrilled that she lost more than you this week as it's very unusual for men to lose less than women especially if you're both following the same menu plan.


I can see why you see this as a second group. It has lots of similarities. We have members (like lois and lush and lantanna) who maybe need a break or getting their heads in the right place to re-start. What's great about this group is that it's completely free and we don't have taster sessions! (although we can drool over other people's menus like bubbs' pasties). Like you midge, I've always gone to a morning group and I feel I'm eating just for the sake of it to be polite. Why they'd want taster sessions in the school holidays I've no idea!


:T I'm calling that a nsv staying away from the shops tete and very mse too:money:. Well done.


I'm still in admiration of your abstinence midge. It's my wedding anniversary on Sunday so we're going out for the day and so an off plan meal will probably be involved. I really should try to save some syns. My compromise is having gin instead of wine:o.


I haven't done my meal plan and shop yet so will report back later. SW breakfast was scrambled eggs on HEB toast.

Back from quite a successful hospital appointment.
Got some very strong pain killers, so hoping they cut it. Also got something that will help me sleep at night, to take when needed, but hoping the pain relief will sort that out. Iron levels low, but not dangerously, but the are keeping a close eye on it.

Had a really good talk about how I'm feeling, and the advice is same as you lot have said. Take the pressure off myself for a while, and just eat what I fancy, that I'm allowed and that I can keep down.

Hi all :wave: well i did pop in a few weeks back and think about getting back in the swing of things again but as usual it never rains it pours and I had other family issues crop up.

BUT I went back to class again on Thursday after a break and so back on it, I don't know how much weight was gained in the "break" but it was enough for me not to be able to do my work trousers up :eek: I was thrown another curveball yesterday as my dad's had a motorbike accident (he's 70!) but he's ok so i'm determined for that not to be another excuse to eat everything in the cupboards!

Hope everyone's ok :grouphug: big hugs to you Kathryn, hope the pain killers start working pretty darn soon. Please let me know if you want me to help with the chart, we don't want that pressure put on you as well if you're feeling poorly xxx

So menu for today
B - sausages on a roll (heb, 4.5 for sausages & sauce)
L - punnet of strawberries, pickled beetroot - not together but I was eating on the run :rotfl:
T - HB braising steak, carrots, baby potatoes
S - coconut hifi (3) crisps (3.5) carrot sticks

Right off to read back through the thread to see what everyone's been up to and look at Bubbs' pasties!

bubbs is right those are the only ones online. Some chocolate chip are a bit lower but also smaller. I think you'll be safe with 7 syns but unless you really love them I'd give them to your DS or Poppy!
:T on your half poundbubbs
I'd have given anything for that last week.

Sorry to hear you're struggling kathryna . I can see why you'd want to try and keep going. It's about control as well as the obvious weightloss. When's your next hospital appointment?

WI for me today and pleased to say I lost 2 pounds!:) I've booked 2 weeks off so I can try to make wise choices around a few meals out. My plan is to have as many SP meals as I can, drink plenty of water and keep a careful record of syns. Today's been quite good. Not 100% SP but close.

Today's plan :
B:NAS grapefruit, HEB Bran Flakes, HEA milk
L: veggie omelette, salad, pickled cabbage
Tana Ramsey's sausage casserole with BNS, broccoli and sugar snaps
Syns: 2 for BGTY sausages

Thanks and well done on your loss:T:T what are BGTY sausages please?

All the best for today Kathrynha - be very kind to yourself.



Haha, I once had a camera confiscated at Court but took my darts in, no problem!



Well done Maman, heading in the right direction again.

-1lb for me this week. Happy with that as I very rarely lose any more regardless of how good or otherwise I am. I got caught out at the tills at Aldi the other day - they sell packs of flat bread chips that boast 12 calories per serving on the packet - having eaten the packet and then checked the nutritional info on the back a serving is apparently one flatbread chip, not the whole packet!! In whose world is one chip a serving? Anyway, moral of the tale is don't shop when you're hungry...

Yay think I did the multiquote thing.

:T:T:T:T well done on multi and on your loss
