hi everyone
sorry havent been on much was away for the weekend and ate total crap, start back to work tomorrow so I will be back on track then and into a routine again, thank god...
you two sound very motivated, I must say I like it makes me feel very guilty when I eat something bad so thanks lol
how did ur weighins go yesterday, cant remember if I read it or not...
kerry do u have a slow cooker, I got one for xmas but not to sure what to make in it and do u put it on and then go out for the day... am not sure what to do with it at all lol
kerry ur goal for this year seems very achieveable, you can def do it, and if u get it even earlier then bonus, but remeber when u lose slower it stays off better.. so just aim month by month or even just week by week whatever works best for u... dont punish urself to hard if u dont meet every target tho life is for living to
hope everyone is having a great day x

Yes i have a slowcooker + I love it. I mostly do casseroles in It. Put all the veg on the bottom then meat on top, pour in enough liquid to cover + switch it on. I do leave it on + go out but up til now I've only ever left it unattended for an hour or 2. I tend to use it when I know Im going to be home most of the day. I have it on now + popped out to shops for a bit earlier. Start back to work next week so it will be on all day while I'm out. The meat is so tender it just melts In your mouth. Try it at weekend 1st + see how you feel. The unit gets hot but i think Its fairly safe to leave.
Have had an ok day but I'm hungry now. Today ive had:
B: porridge (with milk HEa+b) + banana, 2 cups of tea
L: spicy butternut soup with bacon (squash, sweet potato carrot + onion), apple, lf yogurt, 1/2 packet caramel snack a jacks. 3.5 syns
D: will be beef casserole (beef onion carrot turnip flour, stock) 1.5 syns, cabbage + potatoes.
Snacks: pear, tea alpen light 3syns
Feel a bit cheated with the snack a jacks. The caramel ones were much lower in fat than any other but are the highest in syns

Lunch - yoghurt, orange and 2 x plums
then went out shopping and had a pkt of crisps cause was stupid and didnt have big enough lunch
dinner - salmon, potatoes, sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli
but I was planning on getting back on track tomorrow, so whatever i have put on tomorrow at wi am not going to worry about it and just try to get back on track as much as I can
yea I will try my slow cooker at the weekend, havent had anything in the house to try it yet, cant wait cause other half loves meat so will suit him well lol

Was sooo hungry yesterday. Sat at 10.30 last night wondering what I could eat. Ended up with a hot choc + a fairy cake. Ridiculous at that time of night. So i ended up using all 15 syns yesterday.
Today so far:
B: 2 poached eggs beans pear + 2 satsumas
L: out for lunch: tomato rocket + mozarella salad no dressing (hea for cheese), spaghetti + tomato ragu sauce. Will count all of my syns for that as it tasted quite oily, diet coke. Said no to dessert + didnt nibble cj's pizza or Ice cream Not the best choice, not the worst but couldnt afford the steak. All in all im pleased with my choice.
D: will be chicken fried rice with peas peppers carrot onion + mangetout.
Snacks so far: apple, alpen light (heb, willbhave the other tonight) green tea with lemon.
How was your meal out yesterday Hannah?
Good luck with your WI Sue.

Ahh that explains the syns then
Soup is gorgeous. We had it from tesco but it was really high in syns so I went online and checked the ingredients. Sweet potato carrot onion & butternut squash & there were loads of different spices in it. Missed out all the oil and cream and hey presto, yummy sw soup.
Hannah, I just spent about 3 minutes holding the hobnobs in my hand before putting them back in the cupboard. I,m going to have some pasta carbonara instead. How many syns are there in a hobnob?

So annoyed at myself.
Bf still doesn't believe I can do it. He's so as sure that I can't do it. He said that he'd propose if I reached my target weight. He was probably joking but he really doesn't think I can do it.
Why can't I just stick to it. Can't stand myself. Ahhhh.

IGNORE HIM. DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM.Look how well you have done so far!! Much better than me and we started around the same time.
ok, you blew it with all the biscuits. Big deal. You have time to pull it back. You may not lose very much or get a STS but you will know why. It is not the end of the world. You are struggling with the cold weather probably and trying to get back to it after xmas, I know I am, its to be expected after having lots of treats. I'm assuming the biscuits have all gone... then dont buy any more until you trust yourself to have just one (3 1/2 syns per hobnob).
I just had a hobnob followed by a pasta & sauce coz I was starving after dinner. OH comment was " good to see you're back on diet and it's going well"
Yes actually it is, thanks for asking sweetheart (w****r).Tell him to start saving coz you want a massive ring that costs a large fortune!!!!
You can do this, you know you can you just need to get your head in the right place again. What did you do the week you lost 7lbs? You go show him hell, we believe in you!
Big hugs :girlpower:
