Hey sweetie, I am going to be controversial here and say don't worry about scale hopping...I know that's unheard of, but I will say put them away if you're going to allow yourself to believe them everytime you get on them. I used to scale hop everyday and the reading were so different everyday I soon came to realise that you could weigh yourself 10 times in 1 day and each time it would give you a different reading, so now and I will admit this, I hop on on the day i get weighed and sometimes the day before, the rest of the week I don't bother, cos one day it will say i've gained 8lb the next I've lost 6lb lol...so I see them as a guide to how I might have done and even then not always ...see I can be controversial :giggle:
I will reiterate though...If you are the type of person that gets upset by what they say then don't do it, if you're level headed and realise the only true-ish reading will come exactly 1 week apart at the same time and wearing the same kind of clothes, then don't worry about it xxxx:hug99:xxxx. .....food sounds fab by the way yum xxx

This is so true. Clever words! I think the reason I don't weigh every day now is because I realised how much it can fluctuate day to day, and though I didn't get upset I don't see the point anymore as it doesn't matter what I weigh until WI day!
Thanks for pointing that one out Lily

Well, weigh in for the week is done. This is how I'll be weighing myself every week and it was 366.8, so for the statistics bit, I'll put in 367. The scales are also back into their box for the week as I know if one day it doesn't show a loss then I'll be gutted, so I don't want to be getting into that habit.
I'll admit though, I did have to move the scales around the room a couple of times to double check that the result was right, and I put clothes on just to check that it added any
Gosh 366.8, that's lower than I was when I last weighed in with the nurse in September
So, my positives for today ...
1) I weigh less than I did last time I saw the nurse
2) Today I feel like I can accomplish anything as long as I set my mind to it
3) I'm over the moon that I have this fantastic place to come to and keep me going

Shopping is done, and I resisted tesco's warm sausage rolls I would normally eat 1 in the car on the way back, but instead, I got a mango snack pack to eat as I couldn't have my superfree this morning because my lychees had gone icky and we had no other fruit in
Food for today
Brekkie - fibre plus bar (hexb), muller light and 1 litre of sugar free squash
Snack - Mango snack pack
Lunch - chicken and herb low fat supernoodles, handful of cherries
Dinner - Tuna pasta bake (may have to add syns once I've double checked the recipe)
Snack - snack pack of mccities chocolate covered shorties (6.5 syns), hot chocolate (4.5 syns)

Tuna pasta bake is in the oven.
I halved all of the quantities you gave me Katie as I'm the only one who'll eat it, so I have a portion for tonight and one for tomorrow lunchtime
I used 110g of philadelphia extra light instead of fromage frais (I forgot to buy it) and the quark (I really wasn't keen on the taste when I first tried it lol)
I figured it out as 28g = 1.5 syns (from what I found out when I searched)
110g \ 28g worked out as about 3.8 so I rounded it up to 4
4 x 1.5 was 6 so, as long as I'm right that's 3 syns and a hexa per serving as I used 42g in the mix and sprinkled 42g on top
Can't wait to try it

Well done on the loss and on your positives too x
You really do souls like you are doing so well. Making healthy choices,, resisting temptations, planning ahead, cooking from scratch, trying new foods and recipes. Great stuff.
Btw. Give quark a chance as it tastes better in recipes

I tried making stuffed mushrooms with it and I just couldn't stomach it
Just had a 2 hour soak in the bath with a book and I look like a prune :8855:
Going to have my hot choccy and mini biscuits at 9, which should hopefully mean that when Chris comes to bed I won't be wanting to snack
