Step away from the scales. I used to be like this and kept seeing the same number then the last day before weigh in, I'd lose a few pounds overnight so now I just stick to once a week as the scales can really effect you. Not long til weigh in for ypu then, are you looking forward to it?

Well hopefully if I have no syns today or Sunday then that should cover me for Saturday. So in theory I should lose weight and all will be well. I think I am just disappointed with the really slow losses this time. I'll be okay and it has to kick in soon, surely??

Well today wasn't so bad actually. The lunch provided was a cheese and chutney wholemeal wrap, apple, bag of those sunbites??? and some Lindt chocolate. I resisted the danish pastries and stuck to soft drinks. Tonight I am having King Prawns in ginger and spring onion and boiled rice which I know is reasonably low. I will start back on prper plan tomorrow but don't think I have blown it today.

Thanks Jane. I will give it a go this week. I didn't realise there were beans in it.
Well today I got a nice surprise. I stepped on the scales - official weigh day not till tomorrow - and I have lost and am now in the 11s! Everyday I kept weighing just to see if there was a pattern but it got stuck on 12 - 0 - 3/4s! Grrrr. So was very pleased with it today as it showed 11 - 13 but will wait till tomorrow to see what it is officially. I am quite happy with it staying the same everyday then changing at the last day or so as it means my weight is sort of stabilising and not yoyoing about.
Today's menu: red
Breakfast - none - mug of hot Vimto
Lunch - tuna melt (2 slices bread HEB 28g cheese HEA) 1 syn for mayo
Tea - Spag bol - ( 100g weight wholemeal spaghetti HEB 28g cheese HEA)
supper - mushroom soup
Goodness when I came to weigh the pasta, I forgot just how little you can have as a HEB on a red day! I should have gone EE maybe but just don't have enough SF in.

Yes it was her lentil bolognese that I made and it is lush! Really rec it. And... I used red lentils instead of the brown she suggests and still was yummy. I do a great mushroom and lentil loaf which is amazing as well. You can find it here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/183163-mushroom-lentil-loaf.html xx

Today's menu :
Breakfast - 2 alpen light bars (HEB)
Lunch - leftover lentil bolognese n spaghetti, apple, banana, tangerine
Tea - Not sure yet as we're going to Wetherspoons - Might try that sweet chilli noodles or go for the 5 bean chilli again.
ETA Sweet chilli noodles rock! Only 1 syn as well. Wowweeeeee. It has inspired me to make a stir fry noodly thing.
Muller light
On the up side, I did weigh myself again this morning and the scales have said 11.13.1/4 so it IS slowly very slowly going down the right way. I will keep checking this to see if there's a pattern. Maybe I should change my weigh in day.
