    Okay, bad few days of having no control over what went in to my body, via mouth and tubes, and weigh in tomorrow and expecting a gain.


    Got 2 days to try and minimise the damage. On the good side, I don't have the energy to go buy anything bad, but on the downside, I don't have the energy to spend ages making stuff.


    Today's plan:
    Breakfast - porridge and fruit
    Lunch - pasta salad
    Dinner - Not sure yet, but mince


    HA - milk and cheese
    HB - oats
    Syns - salad dressing (1)

    Morning all
    -2lbs please
    1.5lbs to go for my 3 stone bling and just 1 stone 8.5lbs to target! I have 14 weeks to lose 22.5lbs, however I do have a holiday looming so I’m saying 13 weeks :D
    Sorry I’ve not been about this week, been laid low with a nasty cold. Normal service will be resumed shortly xx

    Well done everyone on the great losses this week. My first weigh in will be Wednesday and if I stay the same I will be pleased TBH. ToTM for me this week and I look and feel like a barrage balloon.

    Saturday was a right off, I just didn't eat proper meals or very much. I did only drink water in the cinema though :) Yesterday was better but had promised DS enchiladas for tea which are synful and had a couple of chocs.

    I did an exercise class for an hour on Saturday and walked the dog for an hour on Sunday. I am still stiff from the class today!

    Today I will be off plan as I have a small portion of enchiladas for lunch to eat up and am having too many carbs.

    B - GF cereal, splash of skimmed milk
    Snack - kiwi, grape, blueberries, melon, banana and vanilla muller lite
    L - L/O enchiladas, lettuce, grated carrot, cucumber
    Snack - Apple, another muller lite
    D - Veggie pastie (made with a GF wrap), mushy peas, SW chips

    I find I eat much better when I try to stick to plan even when I go over my syns. I eat lots more fruit and veg and have proper meals. I am terrible for missing meals and living on tea and snacks if I am not focussed on what I eat.

    I found a tip on line about cooking pudding rice and then adding it to a muller lite to make them more filling and I am going to try this later in the week.

    Could anyone advise if rice noodles are free?

    Plain, dried rice noodles are free. If you buy them made up then they vary with the recipe.:)


    Not quite sure what's happening today. We're out at teatime but may eat early before we go. Although he means well I don't want DH suggesting we eat out tonight although I may have to have a drink.;) So I'll write the plan and hope I can stick to it. I've got just 12.5 syns to last until Wednesday. That's not a problem for the food I cook myself so hope I can control it.


    Today's EE plan:
    B: NAS grapefruit, baked beans, HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks
    L: LO beef, veg and pickles
    D: HM pork burger, SW chips, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried onions, maybe more green stuff (broccoli, peas, mange tout)
    Syns: tbc
  • After my 2nd WI I am STS for this week. Thought that might happen as have had a lot of social outings this week (continuing until the end of next week too). Sigh. I suppose it could've been worse. I've stuck with all the planned exercise too but still a tad disappointed.

  • Hello everyone,
    Well done on all the losses and STS. Ended up having a shocker of a day syns wise on Saturday. Anyway, it's in the past - onwards and downwards! I was straight back on plan on Sunday but I need to get out of the habit of a synful Saturday.
    Plan for today is:
    B: Overnight oats (HEB)
    L: Tuna pasta salad
    D: Chicken saag from freezer. Batch cooking that I froze will run out this week so I need to do loads of cooking this weekend to stay on track.
    Have a good day x

    Well done MrsR, nicki and lioness and I love tea and anyone else I've missed off

    Been on the scales and am happy with

    sts


    To say the week I had food wise it's fair enough. But had a bit of a stomach bug last 2 days so might be a reason.

    Other than going out for a few drinks Saturday this week hopefully won't be too bad

    Today

    Breakfast - an apple (didn't feel like much)
    Dinner - sausages (Richmond thin so I think it's 4.5 syns), gravy (4 syns I think) and mixed vegetables
    Tea - might have my weetabix with fruit and milk for my hexa and b as I'm a bit weary of my stomach

    Well done tho folks, 1/5 of the way through after 2 weeks ain't bad going at all :)

  • Thanks Kathrynha for the chart - the effort you put in is well appreciated. Well done Caterina and all the other losers.


    Looks like I've got a mountain to climb lol


    Just a quick heads up - it looks like the WW wraps are under investigation so who's betting that they will become the next target on the SW hit list.
