Sunday Weighers... or is it only me?

[daisybell18]

Been travelling again so not reporting in as often as I should. Not much of a buddy, am I?

Trapped in Zurich airport after delay out of Manchester. Resisting airport snacks.

Back in touch tomorrow

Daisy, the change worked for me. I was stuck at 10.7 for a year or so. Did this and lost 7 lbs in about 2 months. Quick for me

Yep, you can alternate as you like between EE, Red and Green. If you go Green or Red it gives you 2 of each Healthy Extra ie 2 B sections and 2 A sections. I think there's a link on the bottom of the EE page to 'our other plans'. I prefer Red and Green as you don't have to worry about your 1/3 superfree.

I might give it go then! Thanks. I did very well last night and only 6 syns on the wine! and had a great night, feeling happier today

Today:
banana and coffee (late for a meeting)
heb light cheese, heb bread tomato, lettuce and cucumber sandwich 2tsp Branston Pickle (3 syns)
onion omelette and rice with stir fry veg
fat free yoghurt and raspberries (yay found them frozen in Alpha Beta)

How did you get on?

Back into the fray after a journey from hell yesterday which ended with me stuck in the underground two stops from home. Snow, missed connections and 5 1/2 hours late! Enough to drive a woman to drink and chocolate.

Today. Red day

B'fast: egg, tomato, mushrooms and ham
Lunch: chicken and veg soup. Fat free yogurt and raspberries (you got me wanting them too)
Dinner: bolognese with cabbage spaghetti. Waffle (2 syns) with free banana ice cream
Snacks: apple, cherry tomatoes, Philly (HEB) iced coffee(HEA)

Kettlebells and Day1 L1 shred.

Will get weighed this morning ( different scales) and aim for 1lb loss by Sunday. Will assume 10k steps a day and 10 flights of stairs. Two just to get to flat so shouldn't be too hard. May also do another fast day later in the week, depending on social commitments!

Keep with it everyone.

Hi all, I come back hanging my head in shame at not visiting in a while!

I've been on plan since the second week of Jan. with the odd exception (a night out, a day trip out) and have been exercising twice a week regularly if not three times.

The first fortnight I lost 1lb. And since then I have lost nothing. It's a bit disheartening. I'm gonna see how it goes though, we had a day out on Monday for my boyfriend's birthday so naughty meals were consumed, I'm trying to cancel it out with green tea and exercise. And staying on plan of course...

This week may tip either way so we'll see how it goes. I'm surprised I'm struggling though as I have gotten back into exercise with enthusiasm!

[daisybell18]

Welcome back to the fold Pink Toaster. A few of us have been having problems getting back into the zone. Christmas for me threw me totally off track although I have to be honest and say I have been fannying around for the past three months.

Today I had raspberries and strawbs for breakfast instead of the cooked feast I had planned. Lunch was chicken and veg soup followed by fruit and yogurt. All good so far. Did some whole wheat spaghetti with mince for dinner so no ryvita today. Finished the meal off with strawberry and lemon free icecream.

Only blip is that I haven't done kettlebells yet. Can I be bothered?? Upside have done nearly 12,000 steps.

Tomorrow

Green day

B'fast: egg, mushroom and beans
Lunch: chicken and veg soup. (HeB) fruit and yogurt
Dinner: vegetable chilli, rice, broccoli and cauliflower.
Snacks: banana, ryvita, Philly, iced coffee,

30 day shred. L1 D3

I must do kettlebells, must do, must do........

Nearly there so confident will stay on track for the evening. Few unplanned syns today but that's what they're there for - treats so we don't feel deprived.

Two things are wrong with the above: -

1. I now want a club biscuit
2. I now have the 'if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club' tune in my head
