DOING SW FROM HOME???

Thanks girls its great to know we're not alone, line drawn :)

And thankyou Lemon for the syns info, still on track. Just checking is that without using HEXA for the milk?
 
does anyone else dream about SW? On Thursday night I was dreaming I had completly gone off plan and stuffed myself with birthday goodies. I woke up thinking that I had almost done it and spent the day being very good even though it was my bday. I've just made a lovely cake and haven't touched it. I'm just wondering how do people work in things like special occasions?

I'd love to have a bit old fat piece of lovely chocolate cake, but don't want to even think about tinkering with plan as would like to keep to it 100%. I know that's somewhat silly as you have to be bad sometimes too, but I've been good so far so don't want to blow it. Thing is I can't even think of how to syn the cake as I didn't make it (but thinking it would be a decent amount of syns per 100g) then have marzipan and chocolate fondant icing oh and don't forget the butter cream holding it all together. Better to be good then to go crazy I think by the sounds of it. I might allow myself a very small small piece
 
Hi guys... quick question.... Chinese takeaway!
It says "average portion" in syns guide... is that for a whole carton as it comes or half?
I did ask the consultant when i went to get books but she was very vague....
I am having chicken fried rice .... for SPECIAL FRIED RICE (chicken pork & prawns) it says 9.5 per portion on green.

Not sure whether to just double it to be on the safe side. Input please :)

Remember that this pan is for life and you are living in a real world. You can't avoid food like cake, chocolate, crisps etc, however, moderation is the key. Treat yourself to a smallosh piece of cake - this way you have enjoyed it and will not be thinking about it forevermore. because if you don't have it then psycholgically be drawn to other naughty stuff. don't deny yourself of anything once in a while.
 
If I am going to allow myself a naughty treat, I usually do it on weigh day after I have weighed and that way if I do put anything on I have a week to get rid of it. I wouldn't do it every week as I would be constantly losing what I had put on. I have 3 weeks left until the ball and I fully intend to have me a large kebab and chips after the event as a nice treat before I start again ready for my next ball lol x

You have done very well so far and well done I losing this week. Hopefully, you are on a roll now and lose constantly.
 
Morning all, well done to all who lost, stayed on plan - or got back on plan!

I lost 1lb this week:D I am feeling so positive that this is a way of eating I can keep up forever. I just don't feel deprived.
 
I eat crisps and chocolate all the time as part of my syns, but I wouldn't think of cake as that is where my downfall is. I love cake and cupcakes and those sort of treats which is why I don't have anything like that in the house if I can help it. Mind I bake so I have it in the house all the time, but I always take it to work. I'm having a piece today I figured if I spent so much time building it, I might as well have a piece of it. Here is what I made 259.jpg

Morning everyone

Good afternoon with hubs yesterday, went to the cinema, Die Hard was good, preferred no.4 but was still great to get out! We actually had director hall tickets (is a showcase cinema deluxe) so huge chairs, own table, can have drinks from the bar. So we had a bottle of wine with the film, fab! I had a huge sugar craving and wanted choc, but bags were £3.10!! No way, but then when we went to our seats, came with complimentary chips and chocolate!!

So a day off plan but will pull it back as you have to deal with these things, it's life! Roast chicken for lunch then out somewhere for a nice walk this afternoon.

Hope everyone is happy :)

Right! Somebody please give me a kick up the backside! I've had a terrible couple of weeks and was extremely lucky to lose 1/4 lb last week - don't think I'm going to be quite so lucky tomorrow night at WI - going to try a couple of red days today and tomorrow to see if I can pull back anything, but at the moment I'm on course for a 1lb gain :mad: Please take away my wine and chocolate, I have absolutely no will power at the moment :(

That is a beautiful cake
and you are so clever. Are you a professional cake maker.
 
That cake is amazing! I showed the pic to my oh and he was like 'yes its a bag so what' when I told him it was a cake he was gob smacked!

And thank you for the costa info, I ended up synning it as forgot I had cheese at lunch time but still well within my syns :)
 
Morning all

My name is Susie and I'll be starting SW at home on Tuesday, so will look forward to hearing how you all get on.

I'll start a diary up on Tuesday, but will have a good read through all the threads (there are a lot of them! lol) in the meantime.

Have a lovely day, hope it's sunny where you are.
