Good morning diary!
I'm a happy bunny today funny how I can be happy after a big gain but I really did expect a LOT more and the important thing is I'm still in target rage which I really didn't expect!
So far 3 days on plan and I've enjoyed it! Trying new things like the pizza has helped, really really enjoyed them and felt quite naughty last night eating so much pizza
Can't quite decided what I fancy today- off to Tesco soon to do a food shop so that will help!
So fresh new week, first day looks like this:
Thursday 29th August 2013
EXTRA EASY
HEXA: 2 Babybel
HEXB: WW wholemeal pitta
Breakfast
2 egg omelette with peppers and onions, black coffee
Lunch
WW wholemeal pitta (HEXB) stuffed with lettuce, cucumber, peppers and 2 Babybel (HEXA)
Dinner
3 Birds Eye Fish fingers (4.5) with broccoli, peas and new potatoes
Snacks
2x Cadbury Eclairs hazelnut twist (3)
1 Rich Tea finger (1)
2 splashes skimmed milk (1)
1 Tunnock's milk choc tea cake (5.5)
Daily Syns: 15
Weekly Syns: 15/105

Another sunny morning here in Essex
Husband has taken Rosie (our Jack Russell) to work with him so its just me and Penny (our Golden Retriever) today so the plan is:
Off to Tesco shortly to get the wraps for dinner as I forgot them when I did the food shop! Then I'm taking Penny over the park with her tennis ball for some fun
After that, I'm considering making some lemon drizzle cakes that I've found the recipe for on the SW website, and a little bit of housework as well.
Then cook dinner and enjoy Saturday night
Tomorrow husband is going out on the boat with his diving chums (he drives the boat, they dive) for the day so it will just be me and the animals so a nice chill out day with a bit of housework and catching up on TV I think
Decided to have a Red day today (and maybe tomorrow) as I need two HEXA's lol! Having pizza for lunch and enchilada's for dinner means I also get two B choices as well- will have to see what HiFi bars I have in the cupboard
So here's today's plan:
Saturday 31st August 2013
RED
HEXA: 65g light mozzarella
HEXA: 40g reduced fat cheddar
HEXB: 1 WW wholemeal pitta
HEXB: Ryvita minis
Breakfast
Strawberries, grapes, blueberries and a black coffee
Lunch
'Pizza'- 1 WW wholemeal pitta (HEXB 1) with tomato purée, mozzarella (HEXA 1) , chicken, peppers, onions and a salad
Dinner
Enchiladas- 1 Discovery wholemeal Tortilla wrap (5.5) with extra lean mince, peppers, onions, chopped toms, cumin, oregano and chilli's sprinkled with cheese (HEXA 2) and baked in the oven. Served with salad
Snacks
Ryvita minis (HEXB 2)
2 Cadbury Eclairs hazelnut twist (3)
Daily Syns: 8.5
Weekly Syns: 27.5/105

I lost 3lbs this week, taking me half under target
Really pleased with that, 10 days on plan, hopefully it'll continue.
Really gonna try and get the 2.5lbs off to get me back to bottom of my range, this week could be difficult as Mother Nature is on the way, but I will try my hardest not to let her disrupt my good run

Hi Kirsty - found you again lol. Well done on the loss this week love. Hows your IBS? Its really weird how this plan affects people. I've had IBS since I was 3yrs old ( well its what the docs call it when they cant pinpoint the exact cause of things) the childrens hospital called it a lax bowel. I suffered horrendously with it, never constipated always the other way. Ive had many an "accident" as when that pain comes and the sweats start boy theres no stopping them. Ive had to call OH from work and say I need to go home NOWWWWWWW he knows I wont use the loos at work if I can help it. ( I drive so I pick him up from his work) Ive literally driven home like a bat out of hell ( surprised I didnt get a speeding ticket ) and then had to go all the way back and pick him up.
Since starting SW (touch wood) I have not had 1 episode of this so it just makes me wonder, how it affects people the other way by bringing on the symptoms that the plan has cleared up for me. I can honestly say my tummy has never felt better. I hope that in time your symptoms fade hun.

Hi Texty
My IBS is ok at the moment- it seems to be triggered by dairy products in large quantities and the biggest culprit is ice cream
I've had to start eating sorbet instead or dairy free ice cream (literally found one brand in Tesco) which is a good substitute but not the same as my Carte D'or that I love
I had to have a blood test before my hol to find out if it was anything else, it came back negative so doc has officially diagnosed me with IBS.
Lol so in the last year I've been diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety and IBS- a bit of a mess haha!
But doc did say that IBS is very much linked with depression and stress, about 60% of IBS sufferers have usually already been diagnosed with depression!!
I now take Mevebrine tablets to help- it means I can eat spicy food which used to trigger it but now goes unnoticed.
I get constipated with lots of pain and the worst experience I had was I threw up seconds after eating a banana! It's happened twice now so I'm avoiding them as well!!
I saw on your diary that you're struggling a little bit with the last few pounds- it took me months to lose the last 9lbs to target! I think I just stopped putting pressure on myself to be on plan for the whole week and take it day by day and it worked!
I actually got as far as being 1lb away about 5 times but would then gain 2 and it was like a yo-yo! I even got to the point, like you last night, where I was ready to quit but I stuck with it and here I am, target member
It'll happen, you'll be there by Xmas

Grr Mother Nature is a B.I.T.C.H!! She hasn't arrived yet but is on the train lol.
Anyway she's led me to buy white bread, crisps and a massive bar of whole nut
Already had the white bread and half the whole nut.... I have a serious addiction to whole nut and I need help!!

Dairy never used to bother me, it was chicken, mayo, fried onions, red cabbage, salted nuts, fresh oranges and lots of other things. No 1 particular trigger. I feel for you its awful when it flares up. The colpermin, mebeverine, buscopan never worked for me. I used to take immodiums like they were going out of fashion. I had to get them on prescription of 100 at a time, then the doc stopped them as with any drug they all have side effects. Now I just keep a box in my bag and a box at work .......... just in case x

Hello diary!
I've been completely off plan since last Wednesday, had a lot going on and then I came down with a horrible cold that I still have now.
Massive nosebleed last night too, which left me shaken so it was Cadbury whole nut to the rescue!
Anyway I've been hopping on the scales most days and I'm looking at a maintain or a small gain this week. Think that's down to not eating a lot, even if it has been all the wrong stuff.
Going to attempt an on plan day tomorrow but we'll see x
