weigh in tomorrow. At best, I'm thinking a maintain, a gain wouldn't surprise me after the 24 syns day ('rice-gate!'), the cider last night and all the bits of cake I've had over the last couple of days.

However, I'm expecting the worst, so best just to grit my teeth, take the gain and then just carry on back on track.

Thanks Cleosmum. Unfortunately that one chocolate mousse was made with a pint of double cream and 300g of chocolate :eek: We call it mousse but it isn't really as it's very thick and very rich! Still I'm over it now and I'm determined to pull it back round this week.

Started well today, so far I've had
B: yoghurt, banana, apple
L: Rice salad with spinach and mozzarella (home made)

Got quorn bolognaise and pasta for tea with more fruit and yoghurt for snacks. Syns will be a curly wurly and a couple of biscuits tonight whilst watching TV. I have the house to myself so will keep out of the kitchen as much as possible, although there is very little naughty stuff left.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Hi Kitty I see you like choc mousse too, if you look back to page 74 you will see a recipe that I listed, it serves 6 and only 1.5 syns each pot.
you can highlight it and copy & paste to a note pad then print it and use as often as you like. I make it about every fourth day as I am the only one who eats it in my house its quite thick and very yummmi
Have a good day bubsy.

Thanks Guys.

A little embarassed about my out burst

But it has made me think. I do want to lose weight, but I am sort of happy as I am. Which is what is making it so hard and has got me into the mindset that one mini doughnut wont hurt (which is true if it stays at 1 and not the 5 I had yesterday :eek: ).

I don't want to give up, but I think I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself to lose it quickly.

So how does this sound...

Tomorrow I am going to stick to the plan.

I am going to have 10 syns, all my healthy extra's and as much free food as I can manage.

Then the next day I will try and do the same. I think I need to concentrate on the food and not on the weight loss. So tonight I am going to have a good look through all my books and find some really tasty recipes to kick start me. If you have any I'd love to hear them.

And I am just going to take it one day at a time. I will speak to my consultant on Thursday and see what he thinks. As for taking myself away from the kitchen and food. I have learn I cannot stop in the supermarket on the way home from work as I will buy bad things as I am hungry. I also don't think I am eating enough as I get hungry, which is not the point of SW. Bubsy... Veggie sticks sounds like a good idea, and I am sure somewhere in a recipe book I have come across a dip that was free and sounded really nice.

I am just going to try and take it slowly, and move bad food when my work colleagues place it at the end of my desk (within reaching distance without moving from my chair :eek: :mad: ) And as I am self sabotaging I know that I cannot put myself in situations or places where I can access 'bad or naughty food'

Does this sound like a plan? I will keep posting as I know I was much happier about my body when I was nearly a size 12 (Plus I have a lovely wardrobe to get into sometime!) I just can't stress myself out about it, because that makes me want to eat.

(sorry for long post!)

You are all lovely people and thanks for being so supportive, I just feel like a broken record sometimes!

Hi everyone,
well it was weigh in for me tonight and i couldnt believe it. i stepped on those scales and i had lost.....weight :rotfl: for it..... a little longer.....oh sod it i cant keep it in anymore 7lbs:A . my consultant made me get back on the scales as she thought she had read it wrong, but no there in black and white was a weightloss of 7lbs (Gill dances round the room at this point) everyone cheered and wished me well it was a great feeling. and i got slimmer of the week but left my bag of fruit in the room .
it just goes to show that if you do the plan 100% then you can achieve a great loss. my worry days because i didnt eat enough didnt harm me any, but i have vowed to do exactly the same this week as i go on holiday to the south of france on sunday and another good loss before then would be great. im still on cloud 9:D.
so snaggles if you wouldnt mind updating the spreadsheet i would be grateful.

Hi all, if anyone is going for a green day tomorrow, here is a nice little recipe that might take your fancy, AND it is syn free:

EGG FRIED RICE

serves4, sin free ongreenplan.
12ozs long grain white rice
salt and pepper
1 tbsp diet lemonade
2eggs

1 clove garlic (crushed)
6 spring onions, finely chopped
6 ozs frozen petit pois
1 tbspn light soy sauce
2 tespn cooking oil

Put rice In a pan of lightly salted boiling water, cook for 10-12 mins until tender.
Drain and rinse well.
Beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Add 1 tspn lemonade to a wok and heat until hot.
Add eggs to wok and stir fry until lightly scrambled. Transfer to bowl.
Add remaining oil to wok, add garlic and rice and stir fry for 1 - 2 mins.
add spring onions and petit pois. Stir fry for 3 - 4 mins. Gently stir In eggs
and soy sauce, season and serve.

Sorry its a bit spread out but its a bit difficult transfering it from one page to another, and another reason is because the recipe was written, set in the centre of page

I hope it comes in useful, bubsy

Well done Nothernlass, i had lost 3lbs at group today. Have a nice holiday, i too am going away.x

Chip_Hazard

Hi Lucy,

I am exactly the same as you, sweetheart. I feel such anti-Chip feelings sometimes that it scares me and they all come from eating too much food. I do other daft things in life like we all do but nothing annoys me more about myself than scoffing.

Today I set off with all good intentions to go to London. I had two slices of toast for breakfast and took a packed lunch with me but that was all gone before I got there ( 11.30am ). I stopped for a wee at the services and ended up buying a Crunchie, a Boost, packet of Mini Cheddars and a yoghurt covered flapjack. Tonight I've had a portion of chips, an Ikea green cake and a packet of Jelly beans. That lot is repulsive.

Why am I telling you this? Two reasons. Firstly, I care about you and don't like to see you self-loathing like that. Secondly, it proves to you that others do it too and that you're really not alone in all this. Every person who's ever dieted has binged now and again. My old SW teacher used to allow you a good binge here and there because sticking 100% to the plan was near-impossible...:eek:

Big hug, Lucy. Take your time, deep breath and sit down with a coffee and a choc biscuit if necessary...:rolleyes: . There's no rush and no need to panic.:T. Just steadily think about what you want to achieve, set yourself a decent plan and try to stick to it. Build yourself in some wiggle room so that if things do go wrong, you won't be off target. If you want to lose a stone in, say eight weeks, make it ten weeks so that two bad weeks doesn't cost you.
