Today I thought I would make the infamous Mush y Pea Curry . Hmm, not impressed, maybe it's the artificial taste of the sweetener ? I may experiment with this at a later date , perhaps use fruit to sweeten it ? Has anyone else found a variation to get around this ?

It's now day six of forty and although I have done ok I don't feel any different . The scales will tell tomorrow . I really have restricted my fat intake and increased fruit and veg . I have had only my allowance of dairy and filled up on meat and pasta . I have snacked on mug shots and mint millers , drank lots of water and cooked a variety of allowable meals . Overall I have used my syns and made sure I have started the day with a good breakfast . If I could score myself out of 100 this week I would say I would award myself 85% . What would you award yourself this week ? I marked myself down because one night I ate cake and chocolate that wasn't planned

hey- just came across your thread and thought i'd say "hi"
i decided for lent I would be 100% on plan
and also, I have given up my takeaways (which i have at work on a friday- only 5 syns but i just wanted to see if i could quit, lol)
i've been on plan since the start of lent and am still focused I lost 6lb last week and 4lb this week! Hope for 2.5lb to get my 8 1/2 stone award and my "smiley face" sticker for getting into the 13's
All the best to you!!

I contacted my weight loss surgery company on Thursday to see if they can help with the fact I am not working very well with my band - she said she would call me back on Monday - still waiting . They don't want to know if you struggle with it and I feel let down . WLS have a good reputation but are not supporting me like I would like . So it is down to me with the help of slimming world and anyone who wants to join me and my challenge not to just slim for lent - but to lose four and a half stone.
I'm with you Debbie.......I'll be on my weight loss journey long after lent is over......
The clinic should be giving you more post-op support, not a good advertisement for them, especially on a weight loss forum ! Even though were on different plans support is support, come on girl we can do it x 2 .5 stone in total left or me I want to be there for end of june....have you got a date in mind?
