Yes, but that looked like a really good plan - sometimes you just feel more hungry than usual for no apparent reason. Hunger is my enemy though - it's fatal if I'm coming home and am ravenously hungry! I usually carry a tub of emergency seasoned rice with me, just in case
Hmm, mushy peas... Beginning to feel the desire to go to a really big import shop! How bizarre! I rarely ate mushy peas before!
Good luck for Friday!

Thats brill jin, slow and steady and we will get there.
Yeah feel a bit weird today. Yesterday felt starving, today not hungry at all. Lol, its one extreme to another.
Just feel like picking at stuff if you know what I mean, want something with a taste,???, ,but not sure what it is, everything just tastes bleugh.
Hopefully that makes some sense.

Firstly, congratulations on the downward trend!
As far as your meals are concerned, they all always look really nice, but I still don't think you're eating enough starchy carbohydrate - you only usually have it for one meal. I like your meals, and would keep the variety of fruit and veg, but would add a couple of potatoes or sweet potatoes to them if I was doing them myself. I would imagine that your total calories are quite low if you counted them up - I know we're not on a calorie counting diet here, but you're doing more exercise now? Possibly you're not eating enough calories for the exercise you're doing, and so your body has decided to hold onto them just in case?! I know that if I skip the carbohydrate, I get a good initial loss and then it goes back on when I eat it again, whereas if I eat lots I lose better weight overall.
Still, in 3 weeks you've lost 8lb:clap:, and I've only lost 6.5 in 4 weeks!
I have the opposite problem! I think I need to eat a little less carbohydrate and more lean protein. Oh, it's difficult to get the right balance!:sigh:
Here's to another good week!

I think my problem is getting it into my head that I can eat.
I am certainly eating a lot more now than I was.
Will try and add more carbs to my menus. Have been feeling a bit hungry the past few days so I prob need to eat more filling foods.
Today was a green day.
Breakfast
Couscous, with mullerlite & raspberies, 2 apples
Snack
Fibre plus bar(hexb)
Lunch
6 ryvita wholegrain crackerbread(hexb) with 2 banana, pineapple
Dinner
Brown pasta, with homemade sauce (passata, spices, peppetcorns, broccoli, sweetcorn, green beans~ cooked, then blended), sauce was yum!!!!!!!
Snacks
Tayto Treble Crunch (5 syns)
Milky Way (5 syns)
Milk in Teas (hexa)
Will have a good luck for work lunches, as I think this is the time I could eat more.

That looks a very scrummy day! When I'm having a ryvita (or 6 ) for lunch on a green day I also have a Mug Shot. Don't know if you can get them in Eire They are like half noodles half soup ... really handy for lunch times! (They do tend to make me bloat though but not everyone feels like this with them)
I've been making some scrummy pasta sauces too ... can't believe I bought Ragu in the jar for so long!

Another green day today
Breakfast
CousCous, raspberries, mullerlite
Lunch
4 ryvita, banana
Dinner
Brown pasta, homemade sauce
Snacks
3 apples, Snack (6 syns)
Will prob use up some more syns later. Today was a hectic day. Just been rushing all day with work.
CousCous with fruit and mullerlite is delicious and really filling. Is cous cous free on green.
Was thinking this would make a great breakfast, and then have my hexb's for lunch in work. Then could bring tuna on wholemeal.. .
