How strange, just before I read this Lily I was thinking of how hungry I feel today. I had a ham sarni with took my syns to 9.5 so no more syns today. I was hungry last night and 2 hrs after my cooked breakfast this morning too. Not sure why though.

I had a herbal tea a couple of hours ago and at the moment I have got great discomfort at the base of my head. I do hope I am not going to have trouble drinking these. I was going to try and save on mik and have 1/2 my A in cheese. Wil have to see now.

I got the stuff in today to make your soup. Will let you know how it goes.

Hey Lilly good luck for weigh in today! Sure you will do well! Loving your food this week! You use your syns so well too!
And yay to being off! You know how the diet works, so I'm sure a look at the menus where you are going will help and making the right choices you will be fine! Xxx

 

[Lillyxx]

Weighed in... Gained 3.5lbs

I really have no idea why on it would be, i feel like I've been really good this week & I've done loads more walking that normal too.

I can only put it down to being a woman! Lol.. The first 3 weeks i lost, then i gained, I have lost for the last 3 weeks and now I've gained again, so i think its just that one week of the month!

I have been to Tesco, stocked up on more veg and things. Going to do a few red days this week, hopefully that will help me shift this gain and some more ready for weigh in next week. Going to try and have some soups for lunch & i'm also making quorn shepherds pie tonight

Takes me to -16lbs in 8 weeks now, I would of hoped for more but never mind! I want to aim for a big 5lbs next week now to get my 1stone 7lbs, so here we go xxx

Thanks hun, it didnt go great but im not worried, i know i haven't done anything wrong that i know of, so ill just try extra hard this week! x

I have planned my alcohol for the races, i bought 3 mini bottles of malibu and 6 mini cans of diet lemonade, so that in all will be 15 syns, so i can sneak that in and at least know where i am syn wise with my drinks haha. Its the first bit of alcohol ive had in 8 weeks, so im looking forward to it! The only thing i will have to cheat with is the food, I know they only have burger vans and things there, so ill just have to try my best xxx

 

[Gilljo30]

I'm glad you are staying positive Hun and so you should you are doing awesome and you know if you stick to the plan it will come off!

You are definitely super organised with the drinks, main priority I wonder if you haven't had any booze in that time that you will get slughtly tipsy quickly you can't stick to the diet 100% all the time you need to live a little don't ya?! I have a wedding next week and I've been thinking I won't eat all of that and not eat this and that's not anyway to live life! This is a journey and we are gonna have losses and gains as long as we don't go back to where we started then it's all good in the hood xxx

So i am going to enjoy myself, i just wont go as silly as i normally would xx & I probably will get tipsy quick actually haha!! & If you can celebrate and have fun at a wedding, when can you! Enjoy yourself and just get on plan straight after and you will be fine! Hope you have a great time xx

Going to keep going just as i am xx Hope your ok and this week is going just as well as last, hope you get another big loss on Wednesday! xx

 

[hannaali]

It seems to be the way, every time I diet I lose for a few weeks, then put a fraction of it back on.. and it just repeats itself over and over again! Don't get down about it hun, just think - you're more likely to have a nice big weight loss next week! (fingers crossed ) x

So sorry about your gain, such a shame. Like others have said it is good to hear you being so positive.
You are doing so well.

I had a small gain this week, but I know I overdo it on the portions. I am rather a foodaholic but my head is in the right place. Yours certainly is Lily. Keep going xxx
