    I actually plan a month at a time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Obviously it's not set in stone but it does work as a basic framework. Good luck with sorting out trying to add more Speed. The suggestions you've made are all good for upping the Speed foods.

    I tend to chuck in tinned tomatoes rather than using stock in loads as things as that's another Speed food added. Other veg which is good for that is courgettes & carrots. If you don't particularly like them try grating them and then they kind of disappear!

    A pound is good sirens but try upping your Speed for the week and see how it works. If you're out shopping try a Subway salad bowl, that's got loads of Speed. Or if you have a Pret, the Tuna Nicoise is good, just using a drizzle of the pot of dressing.

    Like you, I only plan dinners but I buy in loads of Speed for lunches like mushrooms and tomatoes and spring onions for omelettes and I cook extra veg with dinner to make bubble and squeak. Plus I eat loads of pickles, I have beetroot, cornichons and pickled cabbage on the go at the moment. I rarely have Speed for breakfast so I try to have 50% with other meals to catch up. HTH. :)
  • Well I gained+1/2 i just can’t focus :( need a kick up the !!!!! Think I’ll start posting my food , see if that helps. Hope everyone else is doing better :)

    Thanks maman I hadn't really considered trying to catch up on my evening meal, making bubble and squeak is a brilliant idea I love bubble and squeak and if it's not all eaten it's easy for me to reheat if I'm home late.

    Morning!

    Had a sneaky weigh-in at home this morning. I know I shouldn't as my weigh day is Saturday but I wanted to see what effect being unwell has had. Not as much as I thought, in fact - nothing at all! I was hopeful that I was going to see a new number on the scale this week but it looks like I'm going to be stuck in the 15's for another week.

    Ended up making SW chicken fried rice instead of the roast dinner last night, bulked up with baby corn & broccoli, but landed in Syn city last night, had a slice of brown bread with 20g cheddar and 2 hi fi bars just before I went to bed. Kicking myself for it this morning.

    Today:
    B - Low fat butchers Sausage (1 syn), bacon, 2 eggs and mushroom (emptying the fridge basically), fruit (blackberries and a tangerine)
    L - Leftover chicken fried rice and a small tub of mayflower curry sauce (20g - 3syns?)
    D - Home made burgers with SW chips (no buns) and salad
    Snack - hifi bar and alpen light bar (HEB)

    Not sure where HEA will come in today, don't feel like I need to have it at any point and the extra cheese I had late last night had made me feel guilty!!
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.

    Don't feel guilty about having the cheese last night, that's what your syns are for - anything extra you fancy.

    Draw the line - today is a new day.

    If I have a spare HEA (only on a Green day for me as I use one for tea during the day!) I like to make a big rice pudding with a litre of unsweetened Almond milk. It's lovely to use for pudding and it's also nice cold if I feel like picking at something!

    Off to WI shortly and hoping for a good loss (that's a lb for me, LOL!) as have had a really good week this week and only 1 day over syns and low syn every other day.

    Back later with result and my menu plan for today.

    Bozwood have you tried added chopped up veg to your Mugshots? that would up your Speed. Also how about having some HM veg soup as well as the Mugshot? If you don't have time to make soup, you could always use a tinned one as your HEB - there are quite a few you can have but no idea which ones as I always make my own. Of course this assumes you have access to a microwave at lunchtime.

    Am pleased to say that I lost the hoped for lb at WI this morning! If I can up this next week to 1.5lb I'll be back bang on target. I'm hoping to get back to bottom end by Christmas!

    Today's plan:

    B - Pineapple - after WI
    L - LO squash & chickpea curry and brown rice; followed by a sweet clementine & more pineapple (I know it's not Speed but all I had left this week before group and needs using up)
    D - LO roast chicken, HM chips, baked beans, HM syn free onion chutney, pickled onions, beetroot, HM coleslaw (0.5 for 1Tbs LTL mayo)

    HEA - milk
    HEB - undecided - may have a Hifi or 2
    Syns - LTL mayo 0.5; may have a couple of gin or rum with diet mixer
