My waffles as I head to a healthy weight

I have been on SW (this time) for about a year now, but did have a major blip for about a month earlier in the year and have basically restarted since then and have taken my weight post blip as my start weight. I have alot to lose, I had set a mini target for the new year which I am currently 1 stone 7lb from, not sure if I will make it but I am working hard towards it.

Since the blip I have done ok but seem to have bad weeks now and then that can really knock me off track so I am hoping that if I keep this diary then this might help me keep on track.

I weigh in on a Saturday morning and tend to use my Syns on a weekly basis (I know not 100% recommended but that is what works for my life). I know that the inital diary below makes it look like I eat chocolate all the time but I tend not to as I have no will power, just got my "arm twisted" by my BF to have them :p. I tend to do red days.

I started going to Metafit (or Metadeath as I call it) twice a week at lunchtimes at the start of August and have joined a gym with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago and I am trying to go 3 or 4 times a week. I have really noticed an improvement in my fitness since this (but have not taken any measurements so don't know what has changed, but going on my clothes I am toning up. I also have a horse and ride her 3-5 times a week, but do not count that as body magic, but I know that it does help.

How did you find it? I have been going about twice a week since August. Found it h*ll the first few times, my legs were so sore after the first time but it has got easier, yes some routines are harder than others, but I am recovering quicker which I suppose is a good sign.

What is metafit like? I've got my first class in an hour.

Your doin well, food looks good xx

It is my weigh in tomorrow morning and I am dreading it. I had a bit of a "moment" last night when I was trying on dresses for a black tie do at the end of November and I could not get anything that was remotely flattering (does no one do a dress with arms that is not skin tight or short these days) and spent about 10 mins bawling my eyes on on my rather shocked boyfriend!! The thing is that I know my body is toning up cause of the ym and metafit, but I just want the numbers to go down..
 
Just playing catch up with this now. On my phone so layout might be a bit funny. ...

Breakfast - apple
Lunch - Sort of magic pancakes (hea) 2 Joes sausages and 2 rashers bacon.
Dinner - turkey stroganoff - turkey breast, onion, peppers, green beans, packet mix (4 syns) milk (0.5 Hea)

Tonight is our night out in the pub so most of my syns will go tonight.

Drinks (updated live if I can:eek:)
2 x pints Fosters lager (11 syns each)
1 x bottle Fosters Radler ( believe this is 100 kcal so 5 syns)

27 syns so far..
