hmmmm so haven't updated this in a while. I know I'm going to have a gain this evening so I've decided to start keeping track of everything I've ate again. when I started this, I was only 4 lb off target, got down to 2 from target but after Xmas (still aint lost that weight!) and a few other bad weeks I am now 6.5lb away (will be more after tonight )

I've a few goals for this week
1) get rid of my scales, weighing every day is NOT good for me!
2) drink at least 2 litres a day
3) get to 1 exercise class and start 30DS again.
4) not expecting a loss next week due to hen party at weekend but will try to keep gain o minimum- even a maintain

anyone any tips for motivation??? I'm seriously lacking it these days

its been a horrible 3 weeks diet wise. stuck to plan for all my meals but every night i was eating loads of junk food. didn't even check or count how many syns i was eating, but every night was over 15

went to group for the 1st time in 3 weeks and had a 4.5lb gain which was completely deserved. im really disappointed in myself as thats the first time i've went past the stone i'd lost and back into the 11s.

anyway, line has been drawn and moving on. going to do a few success express days to get back on track. so, plan for today:

breakfast~ 2 scrambled eggs with loads of mushrooms and onions. banana and satsuma.

lunch~vegetable soup

dinner~plan to have stir fry. loads of superfree veg with quorn pieces. will prob use some sweet chilli sauce in it (approx 3 syns worth)

will have a lemon hifi bar with cup of tea this evening and snack on plenty of fruit when feeling peckish!

anyway gonna head to sainsburys to stock up on plenty of fruit and veg so there are no excuses! i'm glad it's lent, it's giving me extra will power

completely stayed to plan today. the only changes from above are that i had 3 ryvita and dairylea at lunch with my soup and at dinner made some celeriac and bns chips in actifry to go with the stirfry. also munched on a load of grapes will making dinner.

total syns= 3 (2 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce with my stirfry)

You are doing really well.
Well done for getting back on track.
It can be SO hard to do it after having a few bad weeks...

Keep going and if you start losing motivation again, you should make a list of the reasons why you started and go through them. Which is more important, these reasons or the biscuits/cakes/crisps etc that you are over-synning on...

Good luck, I hope you get everything you want.

Thanks Addibelle. I joined SW to loose weight for my sisters wedding. I'm bridesmaid and the date is getting closer and closer so that is keeping me focused now. I'd be in a far better place if I hadn't had that 3 week blip but onwards and downwards can't change it now!

I had a peep at your diary and seen the recipe for the cauliflower curry. I love the mushy pea one (hate mushy peas tho) so will be trying that this week. I'l let you know how I get on with it.

Thanks again. Hearing from someone gives me more motivation to keep going!

Had more food on Saturday after posting. Kept feeling hungry so made 2 boiled eggs and also had 2 lollipops (1.5 syns each) so total syns for Saturday was 6.

I was planning for Sunday to be another success express day but mum was making sunday dinner so didn't get the 2/3 superfree so it was just a normal green day. Back to success express today I think. I'm off work for a week now so can plan food better and have more time for cooking. (although usually when I'm off work I end up eating too much since I'm at home a lot more and would be grazing all day, so wish me luck :P)

Anyway: Sunday~ Green Day

Breakfast~ 2 scrambled eggs and mushrooms. Banana and satsuma.

Lunch~ Sunday Dinner Roast carrots/parsnip/BNS done in frylight, roast potatoes (also done in frylight) 1 boiled potato, peas, quorn garlic and herb fillet (4 syns) and gravy (estimating 3 syns?)

Snack~ Lemon HiFi (HEB) with cup of tea (while the others tucked into raspberry and apple tart with icecream. It smelled lovely but I resisted )

Didn't have any dinner as breakfast and lunch were both quite late. Was snacking all evening though. I had:
- a few satsumas
- banana
- orange
- toffee weetabix oaty bar (2nd HEB)
Would have had a pasta n sauce too but couldnt be bothered making it and fell asleep around 10 oclock.

Monday- Success Express

Breakfast~ banana, satsuma and cup of tea. Was eating earlier than usual so couldn't stomach that much.

Lunch~ odd combination. had just bought a lot of carrots so done 3 in the actifry with a small bit of bns. Also put in 3 quorn sausages (my syn free stash is getting very low ). Had these with tbsp of sweet chilli sauce (1.5 syns). Also had fruit covered in yoghurt.

Dinner~ Creamy cauliflower curry with peppers, onions, peas, green beans and quorn pieces. Served with rice.

Snacks~ throughout the day I had a banana, a few satsumas and munched my way through a full punnet of grapes. Also made scan bran ferrero rocher, had 3 of those (3 syns) also ate a tbsp of nutella while making these (4 syns) and had 1/2 a lemon bun (approx 6 syns??) Also had a strawberry and a toffee weetabix bar (2 HEB)

Total~ 14.5 syns (maybe more if that lemon bun was more. from bakery so no idea about cal info. although not worried as haven't went over my syns any days this week with avoiding junk food for lent!)

Have just realised that I havent been taking much of my HEA this week since haven't had much with cheese and milk has only been in tea/coffee since I take my weetabix with yoghurt. Think I'l make sure I'l get some cheese in today

What about SW chips/wedges with cheese on top then curry on top of that?!?!

Im on red and Im just DREAMING of a cheesy curry chip haha!!
