    Well, I'm doing Stoptober. I have embraced Friday wine again since Top Baby arrived and frankly, it scuppers my good week, I either have too much of it or I need to eat junk. No more. Stoptober will be a nice reset. Not going to make a fuss about it or ask for sponsorship, but my chosen wine is £6 per bottle so I'll donate £30 to Macmillan at the end of it, the equivalent of a bottle per week.

    That plus my fitbit buzzing when I'm a lazy cow should get me a stone off by the end of next month.

    Today's plan:

    B - Cheese on toast (HEX and B) and melon slices with top baby.

    D - Bacon, leek and potato soup

    T - Chilli chicken

    I have three ciders lurking in the fridge that I'm going to drink this evening then that's me done. Pray for me fellow slimmers. Especially when Liverpool play :rotfl:

    Good luck Top Girl; I enjoy my wine too much to give it up but after my holiday next week I'm going to try and cut out any mid week drinking. With a bit of luck it'll mean I've got syns to play with from Monday to Wednesday which I don't currently have many of - usually no more than 8 a day.

    I can't believe that a hot dog would come out at 7.5 syns. Surely a white roll would be that at least before anything else. What matters though was if it was worth it! :D When I go to Ikea I have either the gravadlax as a snack or salmon if that's one of the meals. DH has one of the giant meatball meals! :eek:

    It's a bit of a guestimate, I only had a regular hot dog, and guessed the roll to be about the same size as iceland ones which are 6.5 I believe, I also find them just as dry as iceland ones and about as much ends up in the bin, so I'm not too worried about being too accurate with that... I have to admit I pretty much only have rolls on hot dogs so I don't get my fingers dirty :rotfl:
    And the weirdly fake food like hot dogs that come in brine, and I think the ikea ones are those... vary from 1/2 to 1.5 syns. My mum thinks they are vile, I love them! :D I'd live on them if I could...

    The whole hot dog only costs 50p so it's more of a miracle I only had one! :o:D


    Well I had planned on a speedy breakfast today with the other half of melon pot and a skyr yogurt (0.5 syns) but the melon had gone off! I only opened it yesterday, and it was still hard then, today tasted like vinegar :( I've been less than impressed with tesco melon pots lately :/

    Had the left over mac and cheese from last night for lunch, and 2 daim minis 1 syn each, and a hifi for half my B - one of the new toffee ones, I think they taste like the caramel rice crispy squares!

    Dinner is steak salad, and chips or jacket pot. Then the other hifi for the rest of my B for pudding. If all goes to plan I'll finish on 2.5 syns to allow for extras tomorrow... :)

  • Hi everyone.
    I lost -1LB this week.
    Was hoping for more with the amount of speed I've been consuming but it wasn't to be.
    We are out to an Italian tonight and I won't be holding back as I've been dreaming of garlic mushrooms and gnocchi for days.
