Hi CWM,
you are exactly the same as my sister, she feels she has to starve herself to lose weight and no amount of me telling her that she has to eat to lose weight she cant grasp it. this is how we came about eating without feeling guilty. My sister wont use her syns because she is convinced it will effect her weightloss, i dont know about you but she did another well known diet before SW and thats where her problem stems from. i have only ever done SW and i know that the more "correct" foods i eat the more weight i lose. It is a really hard one to overcome but you have to try and im sure with the support of us lot on here you will manage it.

Just popped in to say well done to the losses/STS , I will update the spreadsheet tonight.

I am really focusing back on the plan 100% and am trying to go for the the next 7 days using as little syns as possible.

Slipped up yesterday though as had an original day and used bread and 2 x Hifi bars as my HEB. Had salmon and veg for tea with garden peas which I then realised were not a free veg so I had to syn them:mad:

No syns planned for today but I do love the Hifi bars as HEB choices:D

Todays menu
B - Optifit yog with banana, apple
L - Roast beef with veg
D - Pork chop with veg

Snacks - 2 x hifi bars (HEB), 2x cheese on toast (HEA&B) Syns 0

Hi Louise I was just wondering if you can have 2 hifi bars as your HEB? I thought it was one as they are 5 1/2 - 6 syns, Unless you meant Alpen light bars? Ive not bought a hifi bar in ages (i sickened myself of them) so I may be wrong. If you can have 2 then ill have to start buying them again, I lurve the mint choc one with a coffee mmm

Thanks Northern lass, I haven't actually done other diets before. I think it just comes from how I actually feel after I've eaten something. If I eat enough to make me feel full, I feel as though I've eaten too much - that's why I hardly have any green days either - just because having a big bowl of pasta or whatever can make you feel really bagged up! I think I'll do what Marion does, and sit down and make a proper plan every night, and factor in a few more syns along the way. O only ever hazard a guess at syns, and try to keep it to even about 3/4 per day.

In the end I usually end up sabotaging myself because I get so hungry that I end it eating things I shouldn't!!

Anyway, thanks for the words of encouragement northernlass - I'll try grt myself on track for tomorrow, and see if I can't maybe shify another lb or 2 by next WI!

Yeah sorry you're not feeling good Nickynoo - there's nothing worse than being in pain! Are you taking anti-inflammatories as well as pain killers? Hope you feel better soon!

Hiya yeah i'm taking both, with no affect at all. Spoke to the pharmacist last night at tesco and she was a bit concerned that i was still in so much pain after taking the tablets but could not offer me anything stonger. Hopefully i'll get something from my dr tomoro. Concerned that the pain is now in my neck all the way to my head.
Todays food plan has not gone so well either, after feeling sorry for myself i've cracked open the miniture heros n celebrations:o

rugbymum - that is amazing!:beer: Can I ask what diet you are on? I would love to go on a diet, drink two bottles of wine in a week and still lose 4.5 pounds! Seriously I would have put on that amount! Please pretty please what plan are you on?:j:j

Marion

Hi Marion.
Thank you. :grouphug: Have a dodgy hug!
I swear I'm following the plan religiously. I'm having mainly red days, I get a bit bored with too many greens. I snack LOADS on fruit and natural yogurt. If I need a "sugar kick" I chuck a load of sweetner in the yogurt. I bought frozen cherries and they are great in fromage frais (with sweetner). Plenty of water too (makes up for the gallons of coffee I drink).
