Evening.... welcome Nicki - if you want something specific, just ask the staff they are normally really good!

Breakfast/lunch - large quantities of Carrots
2 banana
apple
2 Tomato
Tea - pasta, mince beef, onion, and lot and lots of spinach!

I think I am going to have a banana and yoghurt as I am craving chocolate!

Thanks Joedenise & Maman

I know I need a kick up the proverbial and yes my menus are more than repeatitive!

I do have a holiday over the Christmas period to look forward to & was hoping to get to at least 4.5 stone off before then but for some reason it's gone the wrong way - OH had a little moan that we didn't have any chocolates in the house so bought him one of those pouches - and whilst polishing the halo I've not had one nor any of at the crisps he seems to constantly munch on.

I will try something different for my breakfast & lunch - even if it's leftovers ( for lunch that is lol). I tend to eat breakfast in work so that's why I've been going for cereal or porridge.

I will force myself to go swimming ....i want to buy myself a pair of waterproof headphones so perhaps that should be my 4.5 stone pressie!

:hello: welcome nicki. You seem quite familiar with the plan if you've never done it before. Have you got the books?

I'm a bit of an over-researcher! I've been reading this thread and also minimums. I do have the books though don't know how old they are, and I also ordered a few recipe books from Amazon yesterday which arrived this morning. I found the descriptions in the official SW materials a bit confusing to be honest but thought I'd just dive in as best I can and see how it goes.

I only started yesterday and yesterday I had

Breakfast: two slices whole meal toast with butter and honey
Lunch: cheese omelette and pear
Dinner: chilli, one soft taco shell, large salad w/o dressing
Snacks: 2 bananas

So I think I went over the 15 syns yesterday as I thought you got 2 HEBs on EE. I'm sure that won't be the first mistake I make though.

My chicken, broccoli and mash was delicious tonight. I only had half a serving of the mash so hopefully stayed within my syns and I didn't feel at all deprived.

Evening all, this week I'm very happy to report a 3.5lb loss.

I love reading all the posts and menus even though I don't usually have time and energy to post myself. You're all so inspiring, so thank you very much to everyone who posts here. :T :T :T

The Schwartz slow cooker curry was really good, even with chick peas instead of potatoes and was so easy to prepare so we'll definitely be having it again.

lushlifesaver

it 1.5lb on for me not entirely expected but I'm sure I can shift it again my body seems intent on yo-yoing for a bit. as long as I finish my countdown (in 7 weeks) having lost 7lb or more I should be happy


I shall be spending saturday afternoon/evening planning at least a weeks meals to be 100% on plan!

Evening everyone and welcome Nicki.


Todays food as per menu - the stir fry was full of lots of different veggies ( onion, spring onion, carrot, peppers, mushrooms, leeks, cabbage) with a little chicken, mine with noodles. A good way of using up bits of veg!Extras have been a second Alpen light (3) a 1/2 syn yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce (1.5) - total for the day 9.5. Really hope I don't have another STS tomorrow - think that'll be the 4th or 5th week in a row! By accident I seem to have hit a good maintaining diet.....

Tomorrow
B Alpen light and fruit
L Ham sandwich with salad, yoghurt, maybe a satsuma
D Not sure yet - need to do a shop tomorrow. Maybe salmon??

Bubbs syboes are spring onions, something I had never heard till I joined this thread!

Great losses Jay11, Beanie, and well done at getting back to target Denise.

I think you've made an excellent start to doing it on your own Nicki . It's not easy to get your head around it to start with. Looking at your menu for yesterday, I'm assuming you had 2 slices from a large wholemeal loaf so that's a HEB plus 6 for the 2nd one. Then there's the butter, honey, taco and dressing. The amount of cheese for a HEA is tiny and not sure if you had any milk in drinks. Beware of bananas as although they're free and filling they're not Speed food.

I think you could be right about the fruit bubbs . I try to have most of my Speed as veg. Sugar is sugar after all, however natural.
I asked greentiger about syboes a while back. Apparently it's the Scottish word for spring onions. My Nana used to call them shibbons so I think that was the Welsh version.

ETA: Great loss jay .Brilliant!
Good to hear you sounding so philosophical lush . Good to have that half stone as a mini target. It'll be much easier to do your menu planning around the musclefoods.
