A Male Food Diary (with female inspiration of course!)

[GeordieChris83]

Thanks, great tip I'll be sure to remember that. Shared a Twirl with the OH last night, 11.5 syns for the full lot so counting 6 for half (easier than saying 5.75!)

 

[moomintrolljen]

No probs - I like to put them in the freezer first so they are harder to eat and last longer :8855:

How are you finding the grilled Bacon with fat cut off ...I struggle with bacon seems so dry try to have Gammon instead seems to stay more moist

 

[moomintrolljen]

Weight Watchers do a pack of bacon medallions which stay really moist - about £1.75 in Asda with 8 slices in it x

 

[GeordieChris83]

Hi Mutts I find it's not too bad to be honest. I only get the one with the fat on most of the time because our local Londis shop does it on BOGOF (£2.99 a pack for 8 rashers). Especially yesterday when I had it with beans it was very nice indeed!

Thanks for the tip Moomin I'll be sure to look out for those ones next time I'm doing the "big shop"

I'm amazed to say I lost 1lb this week! Unbelievable bearing in mind we had two meals out and a heavy drinking night in Newcastle on Saturday!!

Having set myself up for a maintain or even a small gain I am really pleased to have still lost - hopefully I can focus this week and lose 2lbs!

I'll also restart my online food diary having let it fall by the wayside over the last week and a half!

 

[xGeordieGirlx]

Well done!! 1lb is great, especially after a naughty week x

Wednesday

Breakfast - 2x Weetabix (HeB) with 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk (HeA)

Snack - 2x Clemantines

Lunch - SW quiche made with ham, chives and onion

Dinner - Beef Stew from SW website (5 syns for the onion gravy as went a bit overboard!) Wasn't that great though as the stewing steak was rather fatty so left a lot of it. Consequently:

Supper - 2 slices of WW Brown Danish with ham omlette on top (4 syns)

Total Syns = 9

 

[Loopeylou]

Well done on another 1lb biting the dust

 

[GeordieChris83]

Friday's Plan

Breakfast - 2x Weetabix (HeB) with 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk (HeA)

Dinner - Well I said something with chicken, I didn't anticipate caving in to desire and having a chicken parmo (a Teesside delicacy involving chicken breast topped with beschemel (sp?) sauce and laced with cheddar cheese) - syns unknown but bloody high!!!

Total Syns = Who knows?

 

[GeordieChris83]

chris i cannot believe you had a parmo!! i have been craving one so badly for weeks! very jealous - i hope it was worth it! xx

 

[GeordieChris83]

Been rubbish at updating this recently, WI tonight was 4.5lbs off and SOTW along with the Bronze Body Magic award for last week. Really pleased after another "heavy" week, obviously my flexi synning worked lol.

Here's to a much better behaved week and more weight loss. Going on holiday in under 4 weeks so if I can lose 2lbs a week before then it'll be almost 2 stone off before the holiday...only bad thing with that is that I now need a new wardrobe since my T Shirts now look like night dresses!! lol

 

[Loopeylou]

Well done on another fab weight loss
xx

 

[GeordieChris83]

Having missed WI last week due to the school hols and being out and about on days out, I was stunned this week to go in to a 0.5lbs loss. I was fully expecting a hefty gain after two bad weeks of eating out, drinking to excess (and beyond!!) and other stuff, but 4 hours of exercise last week and 6.5 hours in the last seven days including walking the 4 and a bit miles round trip to/from work one day seems to have paid off.
