Yes, I hope it won't be too bad. I'm the same, find it easier to eat less when it's warm outside. Sorry to hear about your son's exams.... Well done on the weight loss and the good luck for the dentist x

OK, so I've drawn a line under the past week, and am back on plan.
So disappointed with myself, but never mind. I guess I'm a 'quitter' :break_diet:
Anyway, today I feel like it's worth making the effort to get to 10 stone.
I can go from Shabby to Stunning, I just need a lot of work
So it starts today.
Had a nightmare weekend. The fridge/freezer has broken and until I can a new one delivered, we are basically without a fridge. Hoping to get one by the end of the week, but we have an integrated fridge/freezer, so still need to a) pay someone to fit it or b) try and fit it ourselves.
Anyway, I won't let that stop the plan. I'll buy dinner on the way home from work, and cook it immediately. Just means that I can't keep any leftovers.
So today (Tuesday 28 August) is Week One, Day One of my new start. Planning a 'red' day.
This morning I took a few measurements, and am hoping these will change drastically by the end of the year.
I have an awful shape, well I don't have a shape, as the stats below show:
Bust: 39"
Waist: 38.5"
Hips: 43.5"
So apart from getting to 10 stone, I need to keep the size of my bust and hips and lose my waist. Not sure if that’s going to be possible, but hope the C25K plan and regular gym classes, will help me whittle my waist.
Breakfast: Banana + 250ml of SS Milk (HEA) with 35g of Fruit and Fibre (HEB) (actually quite like this). I even measured the milk!
Now off to the bank to see if I can still afford the fridge/freezer and then off to M&S to get some SW friendly lunch!

OK, so I changed yesterday's Red Day into an Extra Easy Day, so I could have couscous with my yummy chicken ratatouille.
Managed to order the fridge - due to be delivered on Friday, so will do a big shop on Saturday.
I'm definitely an emotional eater, was upset about the fridge/freezer and I thought I had lost by debit card.. so do you know what ran through my mind ... cheesecake! But I resisted!!
So food yesterday was:
Lunch: M&S Santini Salad with French dressing (3 syns) + Mackerel Fillets in a Chilli Dressing (4.5 syns)
Snack: Bunch of grapes with a WW Toffee Dessert Yoghurt (free - and quite nice)
Dinner: Chicken Ratatouille (made with passata, onions, garlic, courgettes and chilli) + plain couscous
Total Syns: 7.5
Exercise: None (couldn't face the gym after work)
Water: 500ml
Positives for Tuesday:
Found my Debit Card - was in my other handbag.
Also managed to take my BP medication.... My new rule is that I'm not allowed to eat anything until I've taken my medication!!

Well done for resisting the cheesecake! Your chicken ratatouille sounds yum! Is it bad that it's 9.38 and I'm hungry already? I'm in meetings most of today so won't have time to think about food, hopefully! lol.
Have a good day xx

Hey Daisy, good to hear from you. Yes, I'm surprising myself, but really want this to be the last summer that I walk around in 'cover up' clothes!
Don't worry STS is better than a gain. Let's hope we both manage to lose 1lb a week between now and Xmas.
Have a good weekend too x

Friday 30 August Week 1 Day 4: EE day
B: 2 Weetabix (HEB)(was so cold this morning - had it with warm milk) + 250ml SS Milk (HEA) + Pear
L: Tesco Falafel & Butternut Squash Salad (worked it out to be 5 syns)
D: Chicken from the rotisserie (assuming free, but doubt it) + half a packet of Chilli Cous Cous (1.5 syns)
Treat: Well, as usual on a Friday, the office was breaming with treats! Managed to avoid the morning's pastries, but fell down in the afternoon and had a bit of several things, which probably amounted to 30 syns... but I'm not going to use that as an excuse to go off and spoil the rest of the week.
Exercise: So busy at work, didn't make the gym
Water: Didn't drink much
BP Medication: Totally forgot
Syns for today: 36.5
Total Syns: 74.5 out of 105
OK, so aiming for 10 syns per day, until WI on Tuesday....

Brunch: Reduced Fat Egg Mayo sandwich (HEA + 3 syns??) + banana
L: Diet Coke!!
D: Spaghetti Bolognese (9 syns)
Treat: square of Buenos chocolate (2 syns) + Garlic Bread (5 syns)
Didn't drink much water today and forgot to take my medication this morning!
Today's Syns: 19 syns
Total Syns: 93.5 syns out of 105
Exercise: Walking to the station (15 min walk) and around the local shopping centre.
