Thread: SugarPlum (24st) to TinkerBell (12st)

Monday finally over & done with!!

Only 4 more get ups till weekend!! :-)

HONK HONK HONK... Good girl today!!

Lunch - Beans on toast

Dinner - Yummy leek & pea pasta, from this months SW mag! It was very very good!! Will def have it again!!

Oops.. Should have said, I am having a GREEN day today.

I would like to do more RED days but I always seem to struggle for recipes. I just end up eating chicken and a plate of veg, which gets a bit boring after a while.

Would really like to know if you have a Yummy recipe for a RED day!

Water - I have drank litres & litres of water today. Which I am hoping will have a positive effect on the scales come Sat.

No excercise today, not long been in from work and I have an early start for a meeting tomorrow! I am planning another long walk tomorrow night with Hubby!

Hope everyone has had a good day?

I do quite a lot of red days now... I have things like chicken curry, chilli, chicken wrapped in bacon, fish. I often use potatoes (skin on as has to be) as sw wedges to go with it or a jacket potato, or syn a little potatoe. Trying to think what else I have... Ellebear has a food diary and she does mainly red days too so you might pick up ideas from that

Well done on your 100%

Bacon butties

Thank you Jackie,

I will take a peep at ElleBears diary.

Is it true you loose weight quicker the more Red days you have? X

Well I was on EE and losing 1/2lb and on red so far lost 2lb and 1/5lb so much better losses for me

I have just remembered that I am going to for a Family Meal on Thurs, to celebrate my mums birthday!!

If I am 'Ultra' good through the week & save all my Sins... Would I be safe to enjoy a meal of my choice? Or do I need to choose sensibly?

I am not really into desserts, but I love naughty starters like Pate or Chicken Livers!!! LOL

I might have a sneaky hop on the scales on Thurs & see how I am doing, my official WI is on Sat. LOL

Some people have to use their syns daily and some can use them weekly. It's a case of finding out what works for your body.

You could flexi syn either. That's where you set yourself a higher syn limit for the day and stick to it. I will probably flexi syn at Christmas so I don't feel like I'm missing out but I'll still have some control.

I don't think I'd be able to have no syns all week but I can cut back and save some for birthdays etc.

Whatever you decide to do, have a nice time

4 days to weigh in.... 3 Angelic days & a Family meal out to go!!

Think I have set my goal a little high this week, 6lb may be a touch high, having already lost 1 stone in 2 weeks.

I don't want to feel disappointed come Sat, so re setting my goal for a realistic 2lb.. Anything more is a bonus!

I am being ultra good but I am a bit concerned about my Sins.. I am hardly using any. When I read diarys of people who have lost loads of weight, they have always used an average of 10 sins a day.

Breakfast - Weetabix covered in muller light & a chopped banana.

I loveee this but think I may need to start varying my Breakies!! Lol xx

Hi Sugarplum, sounds like you're doing really well and that motivation levels are still soaring - it just makes the plan so much easier when you're enjoying it! I think that the 2lb target sounds much more sensible, and anything else will be a happy happy bonus!!

Good idea to reset your target this week. It sounds a more realistic number. I know you've lost loads already but it probably will slow down and like you say you don't want to feel disappointed - especially when you are doing so well

I also think that it was a good idea to adjust your target for this week 6lb would be a massive loss considering that you've lost a stone in 2 weeks before this week!

I need to vary my brekkies too, I think - It seems to be crunchy bran virtually every day Might make poached eggs tomorrow for some variety...

Hi ladies,

I agree that 6lb was a tad ambitious & I don't want to get disheartened, especially as I have my mums birthday meal on Thursday! ;-)

So, 2lb it is & I will be over the moon if I lost that! :-)

Been naughty today and had NO lunch.. Crazy busy at work and time ran away with me! :-(

Chicken Curry for tea with a little rice. Sooo Yummy!!

Lots of water consumed again!! :-)

No excercise though due to hours worked :-(

One more closet to WI day!! Xx

Don't you dare have a sneaky jump on the scales, I have battled all week to stop my addicition, succeeded and lost weight, it really does you more harm than good x

I also mainly do red days, only do extra easy once or so a week when pasta or rice needs to accompany my main meal. I've got my menus posted on my diary.

I've also got you a great chicken liver pate recipe that I found on here previously, and I can assure you, it is delicious...

Chicken Liver Pate

1 pack of frozen chicken livers, defrosted, or fresh chicken livers
3 bacon medallions, chopped
1medium onion
2 cloves of garlic
mixed herbs, salt and pepper to taste
Half a pot of QUARK

Fry your onions in fry light til softened
Add crushed garlic and chopped bacon and fry together.
Take out and set aside
Add chicken livers to the pan with some fry light and cook till done all the way through, really essential
Add the bacon, onion and garlic mix and cook together until well mixed.
Add your herbs and mix well.
Put entire mix into a food processor, add half a tub of Quark and blitz until smooth. Put in tub to cool and when cooled, refrigerate.
The mixture will regain it's Quark-like consistency when cold.

I promise I won't jump on the scales.. I will wait till Sat. :-) Feel more confident now I have reduced my goal to just 2lb. 6 was a touch high x

The pate recipe sounds lovely! How many sins are in it? Xx
