Today's going to be a bit of a back-to-front kind of day! Main meal at lunchtime as DD2 and partner are visiting and don't want to be too late getting home.

Today's plan:

B - bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans
L - roast gammon, roast potatoes, roasted veg (carrots, onions, courgettes, peppers); green beans, mashed swede & peas
D - not sure but probably butternut squash soup; slice of bread (0.5 HEB)

HEA - 1% milk
HEB - bread (0.5); either crackers or rye cakes (0.5)
Syns - Laughing Cow extra light 1; butter (for mashed swede) 1; maybe a G&T or 2 this evening!

Morning all.

Had a fabulous meal at a Syrian restaurant last night - overall I don't think it was too synful. The meats were grilled (in view), no added syns there, so oil in dressings, a tiny piece of Halloumi and a small flatbread was about the sum of it. Oh and two gins beforehand. :)However just in case, I'm aiming for a very low syn day today. I will get to target!

B Berries and yoghurt
L Just eating breakfast so may not bother
D HM beefburgers SW chips and salad

Have a good day.

Am well chuffed to report a -2lb today. Haven’t been swimming as I think I’m going down with a cold and have been tired & achy all week - though that didn’t get me off dog walking duties lol.

The only thing I can think of that might have helped is I’ve been doing SW in conjunction with watching how many calories I’ve been eating and actually logging syns & calories.

I doubt very much that the fact that I’ve also been eating popcorn (cooked from kernels) helped - though I found that once I’d eaten my portion, I felt fuller than if I’d eaten the syn equivalent in crisps.

Weather is awful here ...so at the moment curled up on the settee, with mutt, watching the Olympics before watching the rugby.

I’m not sure what’s on the menu food wise yet - hubby is talking about a curry so a visit to Aldi may be in order ( hubby tried the lamb Rogan Josh this week & he was impressed as well!)

Morning everyone,
-2lb for me today. I've been rubbish at keeping up with the thread and posting meals, time just seems to run away! Today's plan is:

B: Wholemeal toast 9HEB), beans, mushrooms, poached egg and a potato scone (3 syns)
L: HM Lentil Soup
Chicken Curry.

I've a couple of tubs of SW chip shop curry sauce in the freezer, has anyone used this in a chicken curry? If so did it taste okay? I've also bought some Mayflower sauce for the first time so I could use this instead although this would have syns. Thanks in advance x

:T to gettingthere, lightbulb, nicki and poohsticks on your losses.


I think it's a good idea to change your target nicki and then when you get to the new higher one have a rethink from there. It's good that you can fit into a 12 but although I'm not slavish with BMI, it is a good guide to a healthy weight as are the height/weight charts.

Absolutely agree with SSM. You're only 70 once. You've got the rest of the week to rein it back!

I think you did well to limit your gain to half a pound dusty! I think what matters is that you enjoyed the meal out with your family. I'd definitely recommend having whatever you fancy on special occasions although I think after a while doing SW we gravitate to wise choices.


Hope that whatever's encouraging your comfort eating/drinking settles down soon. I'd suggest tight planning as you'll probably feel worse if you lose control.:(


I just had two gins last night which is very low for a Friday evening. Unfortunately the first one was in a bar where they only sold Fever Tree tonic which has syns.:mad:


I've done my meal plan and shopping list for the week so off to Aldi soon. When I get back I'm going to cook a batch of veggie chilli. DH said he's willing to try although he did ask where the chicken was in this week's stir fry.:eek:


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB (half) toast, scrambled eggs, HEA milk for drinks
L: ham, bubble & squeak, pickles
HM pork burger, patatas bravas, mushrooms, green stuff
Syns: HP sauce 1, alcoholic beverage of choice tbc.;)

Gtst the popcorn from home bargains isn't bad £1 for 4. Popcorn is quite high in protein I think it is so isn't too bad in moderation. I love it as a snack, mum keeps nicking it mind and I burnt some at work the other week lol

The only place I could think of getting the kernels is Holland & Barrett so got 2kg for £4 ....so at 25g a go I think they’ll last me a while lol.

Didn’t know that they were high in protein but that would explain why I feel full after eating them.

Another -3lb off this week which I'm really happy with. I've now lost 10% of my starting weight. Adding in some Body Magic has been the key for me. I'm aiming to do 10,000 steps a day and I also downloaded a beginners exercise app called Easy Does It which I've been doing daily. It's only 15-20 mins per day and is very gentle but since I started I've lost 3 inches off my waist and half an inch off each thigh.

My aim is to lose another 2 stone if I can but the clothes I was wearing two years ago when I was happier with my body (size 12s) all fit again and it's nice to have more choice when I open my wardrobe. I may in fact adjust my target upwards because although my BMI is still too high for my height I probably don't want to drop more than one more dress size.

Great loss & well done on club 10 :j :j
