Sounds good!...Don't forget your HEXa and b especially your B as this is the most important for fibre You need to make sure you are including ALL elements of the plan (free foods, speed foods, HEXa and b and syns (minimum of 5 a day to be on plan!)

Hi Gemsta I was trying to save hexb for hifi bars later, bought 6 syn ones by mistake, I had 1 small bread with my soup so will have a jam hifi bar later. As for hexa I am synning my milk for coffee cos I am a cheese addict so will have that for supper in some form or other. I'm feeling a bit miffed as I bought a chicken crown for Sunday tea and it has 2 syns per 100g, so not worth it

 

[Gemsta]

A touch over syns for the week, but in all honesty I'm quite happy with that. * week arrived yesterday so I am desperate for comfort food Weigh in tomorrow I'm not too hopeful as I think it's still a day or 2 too early for me to show a loss with the inevitable bloat. I'm hoping for a STS and fingers crossed a good week ahead will show for next week We shall see all the same

 

[Janinipanini]

Good luck tmrw

I'm feeling pretty fab today I got up at 7...did some housework then got my joggers on and went for a run! I've decided now...no more messing about...these last in-shiftable lbs need to go! I've also been on the scales (I know! I know! ) and yes weight fluctuates but I am showing a 3lb difference to yesterday! I knew it!..lol.. those first few days of bloomin' * week! Still I'm determined to be 100% on plan this week...more exercise and see what Monday holds! I want 3lbs next week.

Here's a pic of me nearing the end of my run this morning! ..lol..

[VinoRouge]

Good on you!
I can't do much exercise these days, all sorts of probs that I won't bore you with but hence the weight gain in the first place.
When I was younger I was always at the gym, playing squash, badminton etc, I also used to be able to eat my body weight in crap and not show a gain!
Who knew eh?

 

[Gemsta]

Well I'm feeling it this afternoon! I went to bed for a couple of hours this afternoon before tonight's shift and my right hip is killing me now..lol.. But I have work tonight...that will be around 10 miles of walking once steps are converted, so think it will be just the exercise bike in the morning. I need to be sensible about it with the night shifts
