I had a little bit of a lie-in myself today 
FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!
- Thread starter funcurls
- Start date
LittleSausage
is not so little
You've taken that gain so well... and you're SO close to your target that, while it'd be awesome to get there asap, it's the home stretch now and you can afford to slow down and enjoy yourself. Like hubby said, you're maintaining all your fantastic work so far, and you should relish in the fact that it's just another 8lb! Yay!
And, cosign all the other posts... you look incredible in your new pic! xx

Why thank you for your kind words LilSos!! I appreciate it and the support does keep me going!! Whilst it's a lovely place to be being near to target, it's also very easy to muck around with it! On one hand it's great that I'm maintaining the hard work, and at times very slowly working my way towards T, but I really do want to get there now, stop paying each week and be 'That number' (10st 10lb) that has been imprinted in my brain since 26th October 2009!! Then I'll be able to afford to hover around that weight instead of doing it 8lb too early!! So I need all the motivation I can get now to 'get the job done' once and for all!!X Hence throwing in some red days to see if that helps!! Well done LilSos, you are doing extraordinarily well yourself!!!X

You will have a good loss this week - I'm sure of it! Keep up the water intake as well
Hi Meli hun!! Hope you're OK! I haven't visited your diary for a while so I'm just about to go there!! Well I'm hoping for a good loss after a 2lb gain on Monday, but I have a wedding to go to tomorrow! I won't be drinking but it's always a bit scary when things are totally out of your control isn't it!! Whatever the food is I plan to have the healthiest bits of it (without letting myself go hungry!) and no pudding if the only option is a bad one!! Wedding bore?!! Noop, just bored of not being at target yet lol!!! Hope you're doing OK chicklet X

Curls you are looking super gorgeous in your new pic. You must be so pleased with yourself!
I know these last 1lbs to target are harder to shift but as Sausage says you are on the home stretch and can afford a bit of up and down. You must feel amazing though and still easting plenty of yummy food - you know how I like my food too ;-)
How's everything else going lovely? Sorry I haven't been visiting for a bit. x

On the way to wedding (2pm) had to stop at the bank. DH popped into the chippy to get 'a fishcake' to tide him over until wedding food later! When I went to meet him he was sitting in the restaurant part of the chippy with a roast turkey dinner for each of us!! Wearing my wedding attire I felt like a right ninny!!! Plus didn't really need the food!!!!! MEN!!! Anyway, I ate 1/2 the dinner!! Roast turkey, cabbage, carrots and peas, 2 roast potatoes (4 syns), 1/2 small yorkshire pudding (3 syns), mini stuffing ball (?2 syns) and some gravy (?3 syns)!!
Wedding food- Entrees approx 10 syns. Small champagne flute of rose wine (?3 syns). BBQ style buffet- slice of beef, slice of turkey, bit of salmon, king prawn skewer, monkfish skewer. Salad. Small amount of wholemeal bread (? 6 syns). Dessert- Small tiramisu (yum yum- ? 10 syns- not a large amount- just right!)
Total syns approx 46!! Flexisyn day me thinks!! But could have been worse at a wedding I reckon so not going to beat myself up about it (until Monday's WI at least haha!!)

I work night shifts all the time and i find it very difficult not to snack on crisps as i work in a bar where we have many varieties of them lol.. Any ideas what crisps are the lowest in syns if any??
Hi Von, thanks 4 the thumbs up! Nights suck sometimes don't they! Must be hard with all those snacks surrounding you! It's a challenge for me too as we have a constant flow of chocolates and biccies as thank yous from patients and rellies! On top of that my colleagues see nights as a chance to 'treat us' and supply us with homemade cakes, bags of sweets, pringles, even cheese and crackers! (i used to be one such culprit supplier- these days I supply fruit!) Its very tempting to graze on all these things especially when blood sugars take a natural nose dive at 3-5am, but what I have to keep reminding myself is that such practices got me to my fattest in the first place!! So I mainly steer clear unless I know I can afford it, for example I built in a small fairy cake last night! About crisps, you can have a packet of Ryvita Minis as a HEXb choice which I think are lovely, otherwise have you tried Velvet Crunch crisps? They're good for 4.5 syns! I don't think I've ever discovered a packet of crisps less than 4.5 syns (90 cals) XxX
