Weighed in tonight & i lost 1/2 a lb, stuck to it 100%, so i think its just an off week & i am going to keep at it and I am hopeful for a decent loss next week.

I am going to exercise each day and try limiting my syns to 5 each day along with lots of SS Soup, thing i don't get is that 5-15 syns are for if you have 2-3st to loose & i have double that, so i would have thought that i would be loosing much more by having maximum of 15.


Meals i have planned for the coming week are:

Tues: chicken kiev carrots, brocoli & mash
Wed: Garlic shrimp, cauliflower & samphire
thur: shepherds pie (made w carrots, celery & peas)
Fri: cajun salmon w sweet potato chips & griddled courgette
Sat: Bacon cheese burger & chips & side salad
Sun: lamb & butter bean stew (made w carrots, celery & swede) w roast potatoes
Mon: pork shoulder in BBQ sauce, sw coleslaw, salad & sweet potato wedges

Lost 2lb this week which is brilliant but i was hoping for more because i had reduced my syns and not only started exercising, but exercised every day but one!!! however as its been a * week, i am hoping to have a bumper loss next week. Also consultant told me syns don't make a difference to weight loss & i should have them, so this week i am going to make a point of enjoying them!

Also, I've worked out that i'm 20% of my way through my weight loss journey, which is encouraging! Just can't wait to get my Club 10 & 2st award, really hoping i can get both in time for my engagement party!

In my shopping i bought a cupcake, i have been craving cake for about a week, its around 15 syns, but i figure it'll banish the craving. SW desserts just don't do it for me, i'd rather have a smaller amount of a full fat version. Although, saying that, i have bought the ingredients for my OH to make the chocolate pots on the SW site, so we will see how they turn out.

I have the following meals planned for the week ahead:

Cajun salmon, sweet potato wedges & griddled courgette
Maraconi cheese & salad
Chilli beef noodles
Chicken Katsu curry
Carbonara & salad
Roast chicken, yorkshire, veg & roast potatoes
Prawn jacket & salad
Bubble & squeak

Who would know i was loosing weight from these meals!!

Heres to a good week!!

Hey! Well done on your amazing weight loss so far your doing an amazing job! Just take into account that because you are doing more exercise you may not lose as much for a couple of weeks before your body gets use to the exercise. I had the same problem! If stick to it 100% and exercise and I would gain 2/3 pounds. It never made sense until my consultants mentioned it! x keep up the amazing work though!

Thank you, I had been a bit disappointed the last couple of weeks but, like you say with starting exercising, plus * week I'm really hoping it will all level out and I'll have a bumper loss soon. I'm starting to notice ny body changing which is a brilliant feeling! I'm glad you said that though, as I just need to carry on what I'm doing & it will pay off in the long run.

  • 300g pack dried wholewheat noodles

  • Prepare the stir-fry ingredients: cut the steak into strips, place in a bowl with the soy sauce and crushed chillies and marinate in the fridge for at least 10 minutes; slice the peppers and carrot; cook the noodles according to packet instructions, drain and set aside.
  • Heat a wok sprayed with low calorie cooking spray and stir-fry in soy sauce and chillies for 2-3 minutes. Add the peppers and carrot and continue frying until softened. Add the noodles, heat through and serve
