Hi, i have struggled for months rather than weeks to get back on plan and start consisently loosing weight, even 1lb down each week would be fine.

But no i cheat every time and end up bingeing so starting from tomorrow this must stop.

I weigh 11stone 1lb at the moment and i weigh in each Saturday morning. I have started the October challenge and hopefully this saturday i will be in a minus situation.

I plan to start each week with 7 tea time meals and cross them off as i eat them, these are only a guide but hopefully it will keep me on the straight and narrow.

This weeks teas are as follows:

  • [STRIKE]Bacon, Egg, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Beans, dry fried tinned potatoes[/STRIKE]
  • [STRIKE]Stuffed Peppers with beef curry and rice[/STRIKE]
  • [STRIKE]Aldi Sweet and Sour Pork Shank, with stirfry [/STRIKE]
  • Aldi Brisket in onion gravy with vegetables
  • Spaghetti Bolgnese
  • Smash Pizza
  • [STRIKE]Lancashire Hotpot[/STRIKE]
  • Speedy Bangers and Beans with Jacket Potato
  • Turkey and Mushroom Stroganoff
  • Greggs bakers fake cheese and onion pie with baked beans.
  • [STRIKE]Beef Rendang with rice[/STRIKE]
blue is ee, red is original, green is green

So this week i will have 2 red days, 3 ee and 1 green.

This must work i really wanna lose a stone by Christmas, so if you can help let me know.

good luck!
 
Well the plan for tomorrow is as follows, was going to do red but think i may change to ee so i can fill up on rice and bulgar wheat, hopefully stop me being a big picker and wearing those bridget jones pants:

Breakfast - depending on how early i get up. early = bacon and tomatoes, late = 2 weetabix, berries get these on the way to work as i am out of them and milk (hea and b)

Lunch - Bulgar wheat with peppers and mushrooms, Mullerlight, Apple

Tea - Rice, 2 peppers stuffed with mincebeef curry.

i will hopefully fit in some more fruit, we get it free at work so i will pick up a couple of bits from the fruit basket when it arrives to keep me away from the biscuit tin.

I feel really positive hopefully this week i can do it.

Breakfast - 2 weetabix, strawberries and milk (hea and b) - got up late but really enjoyed this.

Lunch - Bulgar wheat with peppers and mushrooms, Apple, as i had an apple i didnt need yoghurt so maybe 1/3 superfree will work

Tea - Rice, 1 pepper stuffed with mincebeef curry. - planned to have 2 but was stuffed after one but ensured i ate all my superfree.

Snacks - Funsize bag of maltesers - 5 syns

You sound far too organised with the pre planned evening meals.

Weetabix with strawberries in is a nice start to the day. Tasty and apparently super speedy.

Looks good so far. I tend to save the syns for the evening so i've plenty for a choc fix or a drink.
 
I save all my syns for evening bits and pieces too, just incase the chocolate drawer or the crisps are calling me.
I am hoping the planning in advance will help me stick to plan better been so bad lately.

Wednesday - EE

Breakfast - 2 SW Syn Free Sausages from my local butchers with mushrooms, beans and tomatoes.

Lunch - 2 slices of 400g wholemeal loaf, with ham and 2 teaspoons of sweet pickle -1 syn for tablespoon and i had less. Lettuce, Cucumber, Pickled Red Cabbage, Pickled Onions, Cherry Tomatoes with a mullerlight and apple

Tea - Lancashire Hotpot - 1 syn

Hopefully i can be as good as Tuesday and complete another 100% day. I have added the salad to my lunch to ensure i getting my 1/3 speed i will try and eat this first and just pick at the sandwich.
