Loving the 238.5 syns (obviously it was the .5 that was the killer!!)
Rugbymum - draw a line under it and move on - if you think about it, had you had both your HEB's and HEA's? That might knock out the cereal and even if you had a piece of christmas cake, I can't see any other syns in the day, so I don't think it will be that bad.
Well, food today:
B: syn free sausages and beans
L: not sure, possibly SW chips and beans
Bolognaise made in the SW with pasta
Probably have porridge mid afternoon as my HEA and HEB.

Morning Marion.
You are so right. Today is a new day.
Evenings are my weak point. They always have been. OH wants me to quit smoking as well. I don't know if I can give up food & fags at the same time!:D . I tend to go in the garden for a few puffs when the urge to eat hits.
I have been ruthlessly forcing everyone in the house to eat anything vaguely Christmassy. There is only 1/4 of the Christmas cake & 1 slice Linzer Torte left.
I have no idea why I ate the cereal. It's lovely & all but why???????
Fingers crossed for a better day today.LBM:FEB 2008

Thank you SOOOOO much.
I didn't have either any HEB and only 1 HEA. I am allowed 2 of those so I guess it really could have been worse. You're right I didn't have any other syns.LBM:FEB 2008

Here we go everyone, the new SWspreadsheet for 2009
I have tried to work out everyones losses so far and put them as a carried forward figure together with adding new starters.
BB and Snaggles I have added you both :cool:
Existing people can you just have a look and check that I have posted your losses to date correctly. Anything that you need changing just PM me:D
Anyone new wishing to be added just let me know:cool:
Lets get those losses rolling in:TBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
oooh, I look like such a skinny mini if I only have a target of 28 pounds :rotfl: , but the reality is, it's my first target of many :rolleyes: The overall target is too scary to even contemplate

Well you are approaching it in the right way for you then, breaking it into managable amounts.:)
