    Well done !
    I'm ashamed to say that my BMI is so far off the right of the scale that I'm going to need to lose a LOT more weight before I notice a difference there - so I've decided not to look at it for the moment and just focus on the weight loss, and set myself some targets relating to BMI a bit later on in the jouney ....

    I'm 100% with you on that. We'll all make different choices but we all need to prioritise syns. I choose to eat the big portion of porage that DH makes me once or twice a week because I don't want to stop him cooking my breakfast every day!!:D


    Don't be disheartened esmy. It took me weeks and weeks to lose the last few pounds to target. It'll happen.:)


    I've done my meal plan and will set off for Aldi soon.:)


    Today's EE plan:
    B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage, HEA milk
    L: veggie omelette and pickles
    D: chicken stir fry with oyster sauce, noodles and SW chips
    Syns: 6 xtra porage, 2 syrup and any wine syns tbc.:D

    Now that is a good reason to have syns.

    I think we have to remember that the last few pounds are a psychological battle but physical battle.

    Chris well done, that is fabulous achievement.

    I was last under 25 BMI 8 years ago!

    Well done on your loss candy:T. Good to make a start. Your menu looks good today. Did you stick to plan all week?

    Unfortunately not. I had a few slips so I was amazed I'd had a loss at all! Hoping for a better day today.

    Last night's tea wasn't so nice, I usually make the casserole in the slow cooker as low fat sausages tend to be a bit tough. But after nearly 10 years my SC decided it'd had enough and is no longer working. So I cooked the meal on the hob hoping that a higher heat & less time would tenderise the sausages bit but nope :( Still we ate it we were famished :D Replacing it later today though, I miss my kitchen buddy already!

    Today's food:

    B - crunchy bran HEB with orange ML yoghurt and the last of the strawbs, HEA milk in teas
    L - potato & leek soup
    T - gammon grill with SW roasties, sprouts & cabbage

    Syns: sweet popcorn (6), tassimo latte (4.5)
