Not too happy with myslef this morning. Put on 2lb! I guess though that I do know why, chinese takeaway and dinner out last weekend, also have not really stuck to 10-15 syns a day to be totally honest.
You know what its like the odd handfull of peanuts when you go in the cupboard, the odd sweet as you get some out for the children, need I go on.
So need to kick my butt!
get over it and start a new week afresh but the learn the lessons of last week.
So 100% for 7 days it is, think i will join Sammie with 7 syns and 7 superfree on 7days and see how i get on.
Also think I will go back to salads for lunches as I seem to loss when i do that.
Now where did I put my paper diaries???

Week not too bad thanks. STS is good, I put on 2lb last week. Doing better this week have lost 1lb so far, as I still keep jumping on those scales every morning, I just cant break the habit.
Giving up chocolate and sweets for Lent, I usually give up chocolate, but turn to sweets in stead, so thought I would give up both this year.
Sleeping a bit better, but its going to take a while to get used to hubby working nights, but I will get there.
Just looked at yesterdays diary and realised that I did not have a HE A choice totally forgot! LOL
What about you hows things?

I'm doing ok thanks, I am just very impatient!! Week 4, and don't feel lighter lol
If I don't lose next Mon, thinking of switching plans for a while, but don't know enough about 'red' days. Watching a starter pack on ebay at the moment, will prob go up to a silly price.
Glad you're sleeping better, takes a while to get used to shift patterns - for both parties. When I was married, we both did nights, at different times - that was difficult! Are you still swapping from ee/red?
Re the scales, I wonder if it will ease off when you get closer to target? I'm actually scared to get on them any day other than wi lol - in case I've put on!!
Good luck for Friday - really hope it's a good one for you :fingerscrossed:

Stick with it
Maybe assess what you're doing these tips usually help me:
- are you drinking enough water
- are you exercising
- are you having free food before considering to use your syns when you're hungry between meals
- are you writing everything down
- are you measuring everything or guessing
- are you having enough superfree or pilling the carbs too high
- Maybe read through any books you have again
- Maybe look at a food diary of a week where you had a good weight loss
Hope this helps guys I'm having a great week I feel like I'm back in control and I feel lighter
I'm having a day off dieting for valentines day with my fiancé (not pigging out cos i dont want to undo my hard work so far this week but we are eating out and not counting syns) then straight back on it tomorrow
Happy valentines day xx

Enjoy Valentines!
I am not really doing so well, I had a bit of of a binge last evening, not a lot but too much! New I would regret it in the morning but still did it any way.
So think I will take heed of your notes above. I do weigh all my HE and measure my syns, but I do not think i drink enough. I eat loads of superfree foods with meals and as snacks. but its the odd hand full of peanuts, or the odd biscuit in the evening when I am cooking that is my down fall. The syns soon add up!
So I need to stick to 10 syns a day for the next week and see how I do. I also need to hide the scales! I have put 2lb on since yesterday, so now feel even worse than I did.
If I didn't need them for a WI on a Friday, I would throw them away! then I could not weigh myself all the time.

I bet you don't count all syns when you have a sneaky handful of nuts or the cheeky biscuit?
That's what I started to do: have a cheeky rich tea finger biscuit or breadstick thinking "it's just 1syn" then don't add it onto my syns through forgetting I ate it or trying not to show I'd gone over my syns
Tut tut
But done a lot better this week no cheeky snacks
Yay me!
