Syns honey 4, Katsu sauce 8

Yummy food day!

Last night I made my old favourite, SW fried rice. It always goes down a treat, my husband and my niece loved it and I sent some home with her to my sister who has also restarted SW. I'm trying really hard to encourage her to do it, she has about 4 stone to lose but when she does it she loses it really quickly.

Had a sneaky peak on the scales and I am still moving. I'm def on a roll at the moment.

MRS RYAN, that is a total bargain for your dress, 8 weeks is a long time so you will definitely be able to make a difference, just keep doing what you are doing. Lots of water and keep active with your steps. You will look and feel fab! I agree with the shapewear, its great for smoothing you out and doesn't have to be the horrible restrictive kind.

KATHRYN, Sorry to hear you're still struggling with eating. What ginger sweets do you eat? I love anything ginger but have never seen sweets except for chocolate ginger which I adore. I hope a change in menu works for you.

WHIP, I used to WI at 1730 after work. I stupidly didn't eat or drink anything all day and then I would cram hifi bars in group after the scales. I would not recommend this!!!! Now I am doing SW on my own and WI first thing on a Saturday morning. There is a Sat morning group in my area but it's tricky to get to and I find the support I get on here enough for me at the moment.

GETTINGTHERE, where do you do your kayaking (at a club, on your own etc?). My husband and I would love to get into it but no idea how to start. I'd love some advice if you could spare a moment?

ESMY, Have a fab holiday you lucky thing.

MISS TEACH, keep plodding, I was having tiny losses and STS for ages but now I seem to be dropping good amounts each week. Have faith and keep making good choices, lots of water and speed. It will happen.

Gotta run, have a good day all, keep plodding x

I was out for lunch today too but I didn't behave. But I am still stuffed and I haven't had anything to eat since.

I felt like that after my lunch yesterday but later in the evening (about 10.30) I had a bowl of berries with yogurt and some cold chicken.:)

Whiplashy - I tend to go swimming on a Friday (I go to a Saturday class) as this stopped me drooling when hubby & son had their Friday night curry. However as son has now left home, I'm not sure whether hubby will still have his (especially as he always managed to persuade son to go for it) but as Friday is a quiet night in the pool I'll still go I think.

I really would recommend the Aldi Lamb Rogan Josh for 1.5 syns. My DH has one of the chicken ones (much more synful). They're as good as any take away. I do my own (free) pilau rice with it but for not many extra you could have a microwave pouch. It might be nice when you get back from swimming.:)


Hopefully you'll be able to find a salad or something else low syn at a service station missteach. Some of them have M&S or Waitrose so you might be lucky. You could use them to buy a few bits for next week too. Expensive but perhaps worth it. Couldn't you find a late night supermarket tonight to get something in? Any Subways around for a salad?


I've done surprisingly (and unusually) well for Body Magic this week. I've danced (energetically) on Tuesday and Wednesday for 2 hours each time and a good long walk this morning. I feel better for it too whether it's done any good on the weightloss front or not.


Today's a new week for me even though I haven't been to WI so 105 syns to use!:D I'm looking forward to my corned beef hash. I bought the Princes lean corned in Morrisons. I like this recipe with extra Speed.

I thin the horseradish down with a bit of milk (from HEA) instead of cream to mix and add tomatoes (and if possible some grated cheese) on top. It's really yummy.:drool:


Today's EE plan:
B: NA grapefruit, HEB toast, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes
L: JP (small) with veggie chilli, pickled cabbage and cottage cheese
corned beef hash (potato, carrot, onion, red pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes) with cabbage
Syns: corned beef (1.5), horseradish sauce (1)

Good luck for tonight whiplashy. It's very common to see people stripping off for WI. Isn't that what the chair next to the scales is for? I always wear leggings and a thin top but then layer up accordingly for the outside weather conditions.

The creamy Cajun chicken I had for dinner last night was amazing. Going to have it again tonight. Have it made up already and I'll microwave it when I get home from weigh in. Definitely need to work on my portion sizes though. It's massive :eek: I went on calorie counting earlier in the year and I switched to small plates. Had to get the big plates back out for this and it's over flowing! Told myself last night that I wouldn't eat it all....but I did

I've eaten pretty lightly so far today. Apple and yogurt for breakfast and turkey, cucumber, lettuce, tomato sandwich for lunch. No snacks. I'll probably stick to the same every weigh day to get a more accurate result. Have the same outfit as last week ready to go also. It's not going to be too practical for the winter, but a woman I spoke to at group last week suggested putting a jumper and coat over it and stripping down for weigh in. Think I might just do that.

Good luck for tonight:D
I have huge portions too :rotfl: when i saw some pics of food of people from group first thing i said was i must be a pig:rotfl::rotfl: i have twice as much as them literally, but then i have twice as much speed and aint done me no harm;)

I would like to report a 2 1/2lb loss also SOTW :dance::D

That's great news bubbs . Well done! I'm another greedy pig!:D

That sounds a very hectic weekend missteach . I wondered if you could pick something up at the motorway services on the way back then you wouldn't need to store it. Hope the trip goes well.
