Well 1 and 1/2 pounds on why why why ?
Ok here are my thoughts
1) I was surprised last week how little i had gained over christmas so last weeks wi may just have been lucky
2) In all honesty this week I have had 5 or things that i guessed the syns christmas cake and apple pie,it really is not good enough to guess as all of them are hig energy density and i could easily have had 2 or 3 times as much as i guesstimated.
So this week here are my goals
1) only eat food that i can syn CORRECTLY. If i can't weigh and measure syns DO NOT eat
2) I am feeling quite bloated so will be buying activia yogurt this week and doing the scan bran challenge (5 scan bran at least 3 days this week) so hopefully that will get things moving.
3) DO not do red days, I am always hugry on red so green or EE.
Wednesday green day
breakfast
hi fi bar at weigh in (heb)
and been busy since then
lunch
chips chips chips SW style of course
beans and tinned toms and fried eggs
tea
scan bran (1 heb)
quark cheese and chive spread (1 hea), pickled onions
fruit
snack after group
Green and black choc mini 4 syns
summary
2 Hea
2 Heb
4 syns

Hi Teresa
Oh no, I'm sorry that you had a gain this week. Its possible some of that could be the actual weight of the food ? You've not gone over your syns but like you say if you dont weigh you dont know the accurate syn value. I'm sure your goals for this week will get you more focussed and motivated. I definitely agree with not doing red days (maybe thats because I only eat fish), but theres no point going red and being hungry when you can enjoy yourself on green (and have meat/fish as a HB) or extra easy
Plus for me all my favourite foods are on green so it makes sense. As you've said before why have ok food when you can have things that you really love and have great meals you enjoy!
I too fell into the trap of weighing in between weighing and I dont think it does you any good. The only weigh in that counts in the one at class. Like you I sometimes let what the scales say wash over me, but sometimes I think subconsiously it stays in your mind a little. I'm thinking of forgetting about weighing this week and just put my focus on enjoying the plan and sticking to it. Its going to be a challenge not to weigh till WI, but I'm going to do it. You too ?
Your menu looks great for today. Do you feel back on track ? Any less bloated ? By the way, your G&B mini bar is it the size that you get in those boxes of 12 ? 4syns is definitely worth it for G&B, its my favourite
Here's to a good week x

Yes let's do it no mid week (or daily weigh ins) I am putting my scales out of sight.
Yes that is the bars that come in the 12 pack and they are 4 or 4.5 dpending on the type.
Just ate 5 scan bran hope that gets rid of the bloated feeling :-(

16 to 17 syns for a mcflurry if i save today, tomorrow and friday I could have on saturday
Oh its nice to save for something nice ! I'm not going to make the no weighing till next tues, as I weighed again this morning (I'm excited to see the numbers go to 11's in the morning, its so close) but I need to remind myself its less about the numbers and more about feeling in control and sticking with a healthy plan!
Good news about the G&B's, I'm going to look out for these when they are on offer

Could you put the scales away NOW and not weigh in again until next tuesday? I put mine under the bed but they may need to go further away but I am going to try this and see what happens.

Well got tempted by that christmas cake again :-( I am going to count 20 syns which still leaves me with 5 1/2 for tomorrow to still be under my goal of 70 so should have a loss still... hopefully on wednesday.
Was also seriously tempted by the scales but just resisted.

Well done on avoiding the scales. Is the christmas cake nearly gone ? I think you did very well to stop at 20syns worth At least you've done really well with keeping syns low for the rest of the week gone by, plus plenty of walking yesterday should see you heading for a loss this week. Hope the carrot/scan bran cake turned out well, mine never seems to rise very much but tastes good, all the same!
