@Coxy11 - you may find that your consultant expects you to weigh if you attend.  When I was at my previous group where I was on the ST and didn't always WI but after a while got told that if I attended then I was expected to weigh so actually took myself off the ST as didn't feel it was fair when I didn't actually need to!

Coxy~~I would call target at the weight you are in a couple of weeks but before your DH birthday celebrations.
REmember how good you looked in that dress recently.
Remeber that you can still go 3 lb under & stay in target bubble.
If you are on ST the consultant may let you reduce your target by less than the 7lb it should be if you should change your mind.
Bear in mind that maintaining can also be hard!

& coxy, yes if you go to group you have to weigh.

Been MIA a bit this week. Mum wasn’t too good so been staying with parents overnight then coming home to work during the day as their Wi-Fi is very patchy.  Feeling very tired and expecting a gain this week. Don’t think I’ll get away with STS again! 

Even with an expected gain, I’m feeling quite determined to get back on plan and eat well. My parents eat very differently to me and as they get older it’s getting worse. Cakes and snacks seem to be replacing fruit and veg!  I’m also determined to look after myself better.

Hope all not feeling well or with unwell relatives feel better soon.

Apologies if I’ve missed anything, have still to read back.

Evening all

Thanks everyone, i will see Dad tomorrow, another manic day! WI, over to next town for hair and eyebrows, bring DH home, Back again to pick Mum up and see Dad!

Well done Abbafan 👏👏

Jelly hope your Mum is ok, they are such a worry. Good luck tomorrow

Ruby hope your Dad is ok and he had his surgery if it was required.

My friend had a new hip today, had too be there for 8.15, she messaged to say she was going down at 9.30, her daughter put a post on FB all went well and she was recovering from andesitic when she rang.
 
Coxy , i would like to get back to my original target but still 12lb away from it but been in this target 18 mths. Hopefully swapping pepsi for water will do it.

Food today

soft pitta hexb, half hexa cheese spread with ham, cucumber and tomato with speed on the side

Fake kfc, half hexa cheese was actually 16 g and salad

Good to hear your. DH is going with you to have his hair and eyebrows done in the morning @bubbs. New man! 🤔😁

It's been a hard week for you @Jellybaby but you're using it to get yourself back to good habits. 👍 

I just coated the chicken in spices tonight. Was OK but ;not as KFC.☹️

Absolutely no eggs in Aldi today. I got the last 2 packs in Sainsburys. Apparently its about  bird flu.. 😍

bubbs

Maman, no he just has his hair cut 🤣🤣

I have not had any problems with eggs, tomatoes, cucumber etc but like i say early bird catches the worm, i am in there at 7 😂😂

Morning everyone.
I'm sitting here with my first cuppa tea of the day wondering what went wrong?
Yesterday I just gave up and ate about 30 syns "extra" of chocolate.

I've had a cold all week which caused lack of sleep, headaches and a sore throat but I'm back on track this morning and will try to keep my syns low for the next few days ( I'm really annoyed with myself)

Morning all, another grey and miserable day here and still very cold.  Going to go and pick up my friend's dogs shortly as we're looking after them for the day while she's out and they're not used to be left on their own for more than a couple of hours at a time.  Will probably leave it another hour.

@Hundredsandthousands - draw the line and back on plan.  Try using the weekly syn bank this week and just rein it in as best you can.  With a bit of luck you will manage a STS!  I suspect the cause is something to do with the lack of sleep and not feeling well.

Won't get much done today with having the dogs so I'll just get on and post my menu for today"

B - fry up with sausage and bacon (1 of each!) - P; S; F; 1
L - seafood salad - P; S; F
D - pork schnitzel, fried up tinned potatoes, roasted veg - P; S; F; half HEB

HEA1- milk
HEA2 - Primula Light (if I have Ryvita later)
HEB - bread and probably have a couple of Ryvita later

Have a good day everyone.
