Finally home after taking my friend to hospital for an eye operation!  As we left home at 6.30am I didn't have any breakfast before we left so ended up in Spoons - no idea how many syns but loads no doubt!  Still out at lunchtime so bought a salad bowl from Morrisons so a few more syns there as I doubt very much the falafels and onion bahjis were baked!!!  Will definitely need to keep low syn for the rest of the week otherwise no chance of a loss this week!

Well done @Abbafan1972 on your loss.

@Hundredsandthousands - you really need to be following the plan properly as in making sure you have plenty of Speed and Protein - the Speed foods are low calorie and the Protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer.  Also have 5-15 syns a day (up to 105 a week and at least 35 syns over the week).  Think I've managed over the minimum already since WI on Wednesday!

The only thing completely on plan will be dinner!  We're having a beef stew from the freezer and I'll do some mash, cabbage and some green beans/peas to go with it.

Hope the loveseat is comfortable and you're happy with it after all this time - it's been a long time coming!

ooohh @bubbs that's fantastic!  Do you think it was the lack of pepsi?  

I'm off to do the food shop tonight with the parents in tow as I'm out tomorrow.  It would mean a fast dash around the shops to give me time to get home and changed and that's one thing our shopping trips aren't 🤣🤣

Your OH made me laugh @Coxy11 😁

bubbs

Jelly, 

Can only be that as nothing else changed, i still had it in the evenings but not a milion cans a day 🤣

See what happens this week 

Coxy11

Well done @bubbs - that's a great result. The meatloaf looks amazing

Just popped out to Sains to get some cash, mullers (only 40p this week opposed to Ts 75p) and a SOTW contribution. No tomatoes or peppers but got a 2 pack of sweet gem lettuces for SOTW. 

Hope your friend is okay after her op @joedenise

You must have been posting at the same time as me @bubbs as I've only just seen your post after @Jellybaby mentioned your brilliant 2lb loss!  Definitely looking like you were drinking too much Pepsi Max.  Well worth giving it a go again and see if you get another loss.

Thanks @Coxy11 - she said her vision is very blurred at the moment and that she needs to keep a shield over it for 24 hours and then start putting drops in 4 times a day  for 2 weeks and then putting the shield back on overnight for at least 3 or 4 days.  The drops need to be used for a month with the 2nd 2 weeks only twice a day.  She's got her son staying with her over the weekend so I'll leave it until Monday until I go down and see her and see how things are.

Have to admit I didn't buy any tomatoes this week so no idea whether Aldi or Tesco had any as didn't look!

No wonder you are exhausted Bubbs.
Take care xx
Great loss.

Enjoy your day tomorrow Coxy   xx

Well done on your losses @Abbafan1972 and @bubbs. 👏👏👏You must be thrilled to get back into target so quickly @bubbs.

Glad you managed to take a photo of your taster loaf. Hope you managed to get to eat a piece yourself. 😁

Hurray to the love seat arriving at last @Coxy11 but boo to DH eating his lunch in it. Hope it was nothing messy. 🤔

A gain this week would be understandable @Jellybaby but hopefully that's behind you and a good week coming up. 

I'm sure you would have some good tips to pass on if you did stay to group @SingleSue but if it suits you to weigh and go then that's fine. 

I did my meal plan and shop today and plenty of fresh stuff in Aldi. No cucumber or peppers but they weren't on my list so not bothered. Shelves much emptier in Sainsburys though. 

I had a delicious salmon fishcake with a green salad and poached egg for lunch. I didn't fancy a starter as porridge for breakfast had filled me up. It would have been synful but worth it. Hope you enjoyed your syns @joedenise.

I'm not hungry at the moment but will have something later if I need it.

Thanks everyone, Yes i will see what happens this week.

Maman i was glad to go straight back into target as well! and yes i had a slice, the whole lot went.

Beanie i know and busy weekend, home tomorrow 10-2, drop dh off back here, straight to see Dad, Sunday pop home for a couple of hours, then all the way bac again Sunday as my niece invited us(my other sister) to the 4D scan of the baby along with her Mum, partner and was going to be my mum(but not now) as me and sister have never seen a scan before, then we are going for a meal, i will chose wisely!

Denise, this is another thing my mum worries about as Dad had his 2nd cataract done 3 days before he was admitted, but he can see everything he does not miss a trick 🤣 but she worries did they put all his drops in?

Well done Abbafan 👏👏

I have not eaten a lot today
Taster but didn't have much really

Banana

No KC as didn't have any instant mash, thought there was another packet here so i had, chicken seasoned with paprika and sprayed with garlic frylight in actifry, sweet JP , 27g cheese as that's what it was when i cut it off, hexa, salad

Coxy glad you got sorted with loveseat

joedenise

I definitely enjoyed the syns in the salad but not so much the breakfast @maman.  Definitely need to rein it in this week!
