    Weighed in monday, only half off. not entirely accurate though as i didn't follow the routine i usually follow, so will have been full.

    Let's see how next week goes.

    SW have done it again! The 25ml gin is 3 syns now and not 2.5!!! No idea when that happened but was filling in food diary on line and just seen it!

    It made me happy for a few hours at least! It is infuriating when they up syns. I understand when there's a change of recipes but gin is gin after all! :D
    Omg on all the losses, amazing results, still getting to remember names, so collective congrats as I don't want to miss anyone out.

    I maintained again, I know it is still positive, but starting to get a bit disheartened about the plateau. Started countdown so bought a journal which I hope will encourage me for the next couple of months. Also, as the weather is starting to "improve", we will be eating less stodgy food anyway, so maybe things will start to move naturally.
    Keep posting your menus just in case we can notice anything. Meanwhile eat as much Speed as you can. You could do some SP days or meals or just try for closer to half a plate instead of a third. Or you could live on carrots like ssm !:eek::rotfl:

    Evening all.

    Great losses and well done, MrsR, Barleysugar, Beanie (no fluke!), Shelliknitter, and Stoke!

    GTS congrats to your son

    GTQ many of us here have hit a plateau at some point - it is disheartening if you believe you've stuck to the plan. I found going back to basics helped, weighing things that required it, counting syns very carefully, writing down everything that I ate, and making sure I ate speed fruit and/or veg every meal. Posting my menus on here daily helped too.

    I'm giving myself a couple of days 'off' over the weekend as we're away to go to a gig, and hopefully good food and alcohol will be consumed!
  • Well done bubbs, that is such a huge achievement. Congrats to Mrs R, BS, Beanie and Shell and anyone I might have missed off. I am plodding on...yesterday's menu was:

    [FONT=&quot]B - Pear and 2 easy peel oranges[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]L - LO chicken and pasta bake with veg[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]D - Two poached eggs on 1 slice wholemeal toast with mush, toms and bacon. [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]S - Alpen light (Cherry Bakewell flavour !!!8211; tasty!) (3.5)
    Another two easy peelers.
    [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]
    Total syns: 3.5[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]I was offered wine last night but heroically said no. I intend to weigh in early this week (Saturday instead of Sunday) and have a lovely glass or two of wine and some chocolate on Saturday night. I think I!!!8217;ve banked enough Syns. I think I might make next week the start of keeping actual, proper track of my Syns so I can reward myself at the end of the week. Looking back over past food diaries I tend to have very few during the week and should be using them at the weekend.[/FONT]

    Congratulations Bubbs; that's a good loss and taking you just below target is brilliant.

    Today's plan:

    B - boiled eggs; asparagus to dip (was lovely!)
    L - HM chicken liver parfait (0.5 per portion for the little brandy in it!)
    D - Keema curry with rice (from freezer)

    Not a lot of Speed today but I'll have some fruit during the day.

    HEA - milk
    HEB - bread (making melba toast to go with the parfait!); 1 Ryvita to make up the HEB (2 slices of crustless is just under 40g)
    Syns - 2.5 ml brandy 0.5; mini flake (intended for 99 icecreams!) 2; may have a couple of G&Ts again 6

    If anyone's interested the mini flakes come in a box of 14 for £2 and are available in Iceland.
