Honk for yesterday 6,5 syns

Honk 5.5 syns.

Honk, 10.5 syns. Day 31.

Lost 3.5 this week so made it with a pound over! Next goal is under 15st by my daughter's birthday on 28th.

Honking by the skin of my teeth tonight. Had a wee taste of buttercream while baking for the school sale tomorrow which I'm counting as 3 syns. If that's accurate that takes me to 14 syns. Day 30.

Honk, 5.5 syns. Day 29. Can't be the only one surely?!

Honk, 12.5 syns. Day 28

3.5 off for me tonight :D Ailly 8lb. (1lbs gain - 6.5lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (7lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (5 lost - 5 to go) Butterflymad 10lb (1.5lb lost - 8.5lb to go) Clareel 4lb (0lb lost - 4lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (3lb lost - 7lb to go) CurvyBride 10lb (2lb lost - 8lb to...

Honk, 5.5 syns. Day 27 - wi tomorrow!

Found you! I'm in too. Ten miles a week sounds like a good target.

Honk, 6.5 syns. Day 26.

Honk, 12 syns. Day 25.

Hey Angie I have 5 too! I do work a couple of evenings a week though. It's hard when you're in all day and if the kids are bickering all I want to do is eat! I guess you've got to try and fill the day as best you can. I find days when we're out for a good while are easier. Also as others have...

Thanks, I have been 100% since I started (25th day today!) so I'm a bit scared of falling off the wagon. As I said it tends to be all or nothing with me.

I never understood the fruit thing. I asked my consultant on Monday about putting blueberries in my porridge while it was cooking as I'm not keen on them 'raw'. She explained that if you process fruit in any way then your body doesn't have to work so hard to digest it. Made sense to me out like...

Just had a lovely, filling lunch followed by a yogurt. The kids are eating chocolate and I really want some. I know if I allowed myself I'd go mad. I'm very much an "all or nothing" type of person. So I'm trying just to ignore them. Why are we like that?!

Honk, 11 syns. Day 24!

Honkity honk! Day 23, 9 syns.

Honk, 6.5 syns. Day 22.

Honk, 12 syns (went a bit mad after WI tonight!). Day 21.

2.5lbs to my first stone. I would really like it next week but won't be disappointed if it takes 2 weeks.

3 off for me too! :D Ailly 8lb (2.5lbs lost - 5.5lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (8.5lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (2.5 lost - 7.5 to go) Butterflymad 10lb (4lb lost - 6lb to go) Clareel 4lb (0lb lost - 4lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (3lb lost - 7lb to go) CurvyBride 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go)...

I don't think the garlic is a strong taste but I do use a lot of garlic in my cooking. I'm sure they will be just as yummy without!

Honk, 11 syns. Day 20 - how long can this last??!

Honk, day 19, 8 syns

I got one in Morrisons this afternoon too. Quite nice but I wouldn't rave about it.

Yes my husband thought they were delicious. Next time I'm giving them to the kids too and it'll be home made burgers all the way!

Honk, day 18. 10.5 syns.

Oh and I topped them with a grilled bacon medallion.

The burgers were dead easy. I finely chopped a red onion and cooked it until soft in fry light with a crushed garlic clove. I added this to some extra lean mince with a dash of worcestershire sauce and plenty of salt and pepper. I squished it all together with my hands and formed it into burger...

I have just had a bacon double cheeseburger for dinner! Made some syn free burgers. Had 2 burgers in a wholemeal roll with my Hex A cheese and a side salad. Fantastic! :D

I have decided to eat as normal on WI days (my group is in the evening) as I previously went to WW and drove myself mad not wanting to eat before WI. The whole day was stressful and therefore as soon as I'd been to WI I'd stuff myself with relief! I couldn't cope with the massive up and down...

In my group your first week doesn't count, you must have lost the week before and you must stay to image therapy. It's the person with the greatest loss after that that gets the sticker and fruit basket.

Honk, day 17, 8 syns.

This is the first time I have 'dieted' without weighing at home. Day 17 today. I feel so much more relaxed because of this.

I see this is an old thread. Does anyone know if there's a current walking challenge?

I put mine on top of magic porridge overnight. It's all syrupy and delicious in the morning. But I've run out! :cry:

I have an ikea frying pan that's been going strong for years. Not sure how much they are currently though.

Honkity honk. 9 syns, day 16 (go me!)

God alone knows how I got through the day but HONK!!! Day 15, 6 syns.

Thanks for your responses. Seems there's definitely hope! When I have dieted before I've never gone past 2/3 weeks without having a "bad day" so probably never broken the bad habits completely. I am very pleased with myself today as it's been a real struggle but I've stayed on plan. Hopefully...

I'm having a tough time staying focussed today and this sentence jumped out at me as I read through the last magazine. Now, I'm really hoping this is true! If you've lost quite a bit, do you find this?

I'll join in too. Ally 8lb (0lbs lost - 8lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (0lbs lost - 12lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) Butterflymad 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) CurvyBride 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go) Dragoneye454 8lb (0lb lost- 10lb to go)...

Thanks :) I don't have any wholemeal bread in the house but I do plan on a curly wurly with a cup of tea once the kids are in bed!

I am really struggling with the urge to overeat today. I woke up wanting bread and chocolate :( This is day 15 for me and I've had 2 good losses so far. It's the first day I've really struggled. I've been 100% every day. So far I'm managing. Had a big, filling breakfast of eggs, bacon...

Honk day 14, 9 syns

Lost 2lbs this week and met my target Aesir22 9lbs (0lbs lost - 9lbs to go) curvygirl (5lbs lost - 2lb to go) Emmalee -8lbs (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) Jaq - 12lbs (0lbs lost 12lbs to go) Jayde1148 - 10lbs (3lbs lost 7lbs to go) Karnak - 8lbs (5lbs lost 3 to go) Kelsey - 7lbs (3lbs lost 4lbs to go)...

Honk! 7 syns, day 13

Gammon cooked in the slow cooker, with SW chips, carrots and cabbage. Not my usual combination but very tasty!

Oh I was planning on buying the last one but forgot to take extra money on Monday. Are they still in the shops?

Honk 8 syns. Day 12 for me!

Day 11, 10 syns. Honk! :)

I'm only in my second week but I just ate a LOT! Frequently picking at things, everything and anything, throughout the day. I've been concentrating on filling up at meal times and have rarely felt hungry. If I had to say one particular food it would be chocolate. I could easily eat several full...

LOVE magic porridge! Just had a wm roll with bacon and poached egg. Delicious!

Honk! 7.5 syns, Day 10.

I felt really bloated for my WI on Monday night. It was just my first week but I lost. Think it was just wind! Good luck.

Oh I'd love to join in too. There are 7 of us though! I'll work out our budget and come back soon.

Not a disaster then. Best of luck for the WI tomorrow. :)

Honk, day 9, 10 syns. Yippee!

I made a risotto with bacon and loads of veg. It was lovely but I could only eat half of it as I'd had a few too many roasted butternut squash wedges before it! Hubby enjoyed it though.

The group finished at 9pm and I'm very glad I'd eaten. I would have been starving otherwise!

Honk number 8! 10 syns

Day 7 honk from me! So pleased with myself as I went to the supermarket after WI and was so tempted to "treat" myself to something off plan but instead came home and had a mug shot and a curly wurly.:innocent0002:

Well I did have my meal beforehand albeit a slightly smaller portion than normal. Worked out OK as I lost 6.5lbs! Glad I did for this week so I will do the same without worrying from now on.

WI tonight and lost 6.5lbs! :D Aesir22 9lbs (0lbs lost - 9lbs to go) curvygirl (5lbs lost - 2lb to go) Emmalee -8lbs (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) Jaq - 12lbs (0lbs lost 12lbs to go) Jayde1148 - 10lbs (3lbs lost 7lbs to go) Karnak - 8lbs (2.5lbs lost 5.5 to go) Kelsey - 7lbs (3lbs lost 4lbs to go)...

Brilliant, I was thinking about making this earlier today. Thanks!

Would you use a Hex B and have magic porridge with your muller?

Honk, day 6

I didn't like the cottage cheese lumps so now I blitz it with a hand blender before mixing with the eggs. Works a treat and you can't taste it as such. Definitely need to try the potato base.

A stone in 2 weeks??? Well done you!

Obviously I whizzed it up!

I quizzed up the cottage cheese with a hand blender then mixed with the eggs as I couldn't bear the thought of lumps! I wouldn't ever eat cottage cheese otherwise. It was delicious.

I just feel that the more relaxed I can stay the longer I'll be able to sustain it. I've been on diets before when I've felt guilty about eating a piece of pasta to test of it's cooked since it wasn't part of measured quantity. Bonkers!

Hope not, I've had a curly wurly nearly every night this week! Wi tomorrow so we'll see...

I made up some gravy for my roast chicken tonight. I used about 50ml juices from the chicken, a tbsp flour, 50 ml white wine and a chicken oxo. Never thought about the juices having syns (I skimmed nearly all the fat off). Any thoughts please?

I meant the time would vary depending on how thick they are.

I think there are cooking instructions on most things now but I usually grill them depending on how thick they are. Quite fancy one now!

Thanks everyone. Starting as I mean to go on!

Porridge with raspberries, banana and a tsp of maple syrup. Much better than my rice pudding efforts of yesterday!

Yes me too!

Roast chicken with roast potatoes and LOADS of veggies. Looking out for a no/low syn gravy recipe.

I have my first WI on Monday evening. The group starts at 7:30pm. When I've gone to other slimming clubs I've been obsessed about what I ate during the day before WI to the point of not wanting to eat/drink. I am really trying to see this plan as a way of life and not get obsessed about it as...

I was thinking about cooking this tomorrow with potato wedges and salad. You would then have some dressing or something if you weren't bothered about the syns. Never made it but I don't think it'll be dry?

I can't stomach the quorn ones either. They taste too (dried) herby to me too. Must look out for the LM ones.

Hey just noticed our starting weights are the same. You're ahead of me already Keep going! :bighug:

This is where I've consistently given up in the past. It was a bad night. Today is a new day. Somehow we need to learn to put these episodes behind us and move on. Please don't let it ruin the rest of your week.

HONK number 5! :)

Mixed berries Banana Carrots Onion Coriander Tomatoes Melon Clementine

Having just started I'm by no means an expert but someone asked my consultant on Monday night "if I make syn free chilli for my dinner and I'm hungry later can I have some more?. She said yes.

Yes I got them yesterday. Think the offer's on until 23/24th.

Think I'll have pasta with chorizo and tomato sauce. I have some hex a allowance for some Parmesan too.

Thanks. Not sure I would like that either!

How do you make yours parfittaroles? Mine was disappointing :(

Hmm, not really what I was expecting. Pity.

How frustrating. Are you going to a class? What did your consultant say about it.

Trying some syn free rice pudding this morning with yogurt and fruit. Just waiting for the rice to cool now.

Oh that sounds yummy!

Day 4 honk!

Good luck! In 12 years of marriage I've always been heavier than my husband. Would love to one day be lighter.

I have just started this week but would love to lose 7lbs in my first 2 weeks. 1st WI on Monday... Aesir22 9lbs (0lbs lost - 9lbs to go) curvygirl (5lbs lost - 2lb to go) Emmalee -8lbs (0lbs lost 8lbs to go) Jaq - 12lbs (0lbs lost 12lbs to go) Jayde1148 - 10lbs (3lbs lost 7lbs to go) Karnak -...

HONK for day 3!

Just had good old spag Bol!

Day 2 HONK!

So funny, I feel exactly the same!

Hi :) I'm just starting out. On day 2. Started at 16st 3.5:cry:. I know from previous weight loss that I start to feel better about 13.5st so I'll set a target when I get there.

Day 1 - HONK!

Oh must get those, I heard about freezing the vanilla makes it like ice cream!

Going to try the herb packet tonight with chicken. I'm throwing in some veggies and parboiled potatoes too. They were 50p in Asda today!

I think it's included because in one recipe I noticed it stated to serve with a side salad. I took this to mean that there wasn't enough superfree in the main recipe. Hopefully someone will know for sure.
