40% is amazing, you must feel so so proud. I have my target set at 11 stone but the closer I get the more I think I'm going to need to lower it... x

To be honest, when I set my target of 10.7 I was a bit unsure if I would even get to 12 stone something! But I did and I like seeing the changes in me and hope to god that the excess skin etc doesn't cause a problem getting to target. Must start doing more exercise for toning!
But yes, I am super proud of where I am now. Not proud of actually having to lose that much but proud that I have done it and done so in what I see as the most sensible way ever! xx

Food update - had a cheddar biscuit for 1 syn and a banana just now and my god, it has made me feel so full up. Like really stuffed, trouser uncomfortable stuffed. Bizarre. I don't know why I ate it, think it's boredom? Can't be because I'm hungry or thirsty. But better to have that than junk if it's boredom eating.

I just want to finish work, nip into tesco for a lime and cereal and get home. Cannot wait to try cooking the Thai curry tonight. Hoping it works! Xx

I know what's on my menu at some point next week ;) thanks Hun xx
 
Thanks MinkyDinky. I'm new to the site but have dabbled in SW before. It's nice to find my feet, get some inspiration and hear from others in similar situations. Also keeps me 'busy' at work so I don't boredom eat.

Have had a trawl through old magazines and looked at a couple of the stickys here to remind myself of the rules! Now I just need to get OH to understand it all properly so he can do a share of the cooking/planning!

How do you do your menu planning? Weekly, monthly?
All hints and tips gratefully received!

I wouldn't do monthly planning - some do but for me it wouldn't work. Things change over a week and I wouldn't want to panic about food should something crop up. Weekly is what I do. I tend to pick a few meals and then work my way round that, thinking of leftovers and batch cooking at times.
Sometimes I just get a shop in and then do a plan day by day or a few days at a time. For instance this weeks shop came yesterday and I've planned up until Tuesday, possibly Wednesday now.

Keep it fresh, keep it different and don't be scared to experiment! And remember we are all here to help xx
 
Thai green chicken and green bean curry, stir fried soy sauce veggies with lime and coriander rice. Well worth the couple of syns. Going to finish the mullerlight I used some of in the curry. Total syns so far 4.5

Curry looks delish! Was the Muller Light a good addition? Definitely need to try that! x

Hey! I've never made a Thai curry before so can only assume it tasted better for having the yogurt. I used half a pack of quark which has quite a tang to it so combined with the coconut sweetness it evened it out. Only used about half a tub? It's delicious and thoroughly recommend! Xx
