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!)

Great loss :j :j

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

GReat loss.
Not to keen on the chip shop curry sauce but give it a wee shot.

Well done to the losers. My plan for today:

B - Home made sausage rolls using TTD tortilla wraps (HEB)
Quark flavoured with an Options (2) and raspberries
L - None as I had breakfast late
D - Oven baked chicken breast with a topping of Quark flavoured with herbs and PON Nandos Spicy rice with broccoli.
HEX A - Cheese on the chicken breast.

I am considering making a Tiramisu for a Saturday night dessert using Quark, options, lady fingers and a grating of chocolate. I need to calculate the syns...

Evening all :wave:

Maman - do you find the Fever Tree tonic overpowers the gin? I've only had it once because that was all that was available in the pub we were in and all I could taste was the tonic! Wouldn't have minded so much if I hadn't paid extra for a Tanquery rather than a having a bog standard Gordons!

I think the problem could be that Schweppes comes in 125ml bottles but the Fever Tree is 200mls. As the theatre bar I went to was brand new I don't know what they might normally stock. They didn't have my current favourite Bombay Sapphire so I had Hendrick's which is a good alternative. I've never tried Edinburgh gin:eek: and the only flavoured one I've had is sloe but I do have damson (gift) in the cupboard. I'm guessing as it has syrup in it, it will be higher in syns.

I've got a veggie chilli in SC. I'm wondering if it will be like Speed soup in effect (Remember that??). As well as 3 different beans, it has tomatoes, onions, celery, courgettes, garlic, mushrooms, green and red peppers, broccoli stalks, carrots and BNS. I think that's all!

Sorry to say but yo-yoing is normal at target tie .:(
