Looking good there, welcome
Have you joined a class, or going it alone?

I sure you'll manage the 2stone you want for your holiday, especially if you keep going like you have been.
Just want to check you're measuring your milk for your HEA
It's easy to over do it if you're having it on cereal for breakfast, and then in tea/coffee throughout the day, and just a reminder that blueberries & bananas ate free foods, not speed

I'd go 11 syns for your cider - based on nutritional value of a standard Thatchers cider
Of course there are slight variations in different bottled beers/ciders
depending on the variety - but I think you'll be safe calling it 11 u less its a really, really strong one.

Hope that helps

Thanks so much for your tips and the welcome I'm going it alone....I struggle to get to class and im not sure an online membership is for me.
Milk is a definate thing I need to take control of and I didn't know that about the blueberries!!!!! May need to re think my fruit!!!

 

[Debridger]

All fruit is free, and a good variety is really good for you nutritionally, but for SW you need to bear in mind that if you're using fruit (some veg also) that it doesn't count as part of your 1/3 speed

Good Luck! Hope you achieve the loss before your holiday.

You can measure your milk in a jug and know that's your daily allowance. Then you won't go over x

 

[Mexico18]

Ah ok thanks again I think it maybe melon strawberries and apples for a while

Good Luck! Hope you achieve the loss before your holiday.

Thanks Sarahse.....think I will measure and put in a plastic bottle so I can take it to work as well!! Ince it's gone it will have to be black coffee or green tea with mint

 

[Mexico18]

So lasts nights dinner was a bit of a mix up
Chicken tinned tomatoes onions with curry powder and chilli powder then I mixed in some basmati rice....quite tasty and saved my Syns as I was tempted by a takeaway!!!

 

[Mexico18]

[Mexico18]

Loved my food today dinner was steak chips onion mushroom and peppers!!!
Cutting right back in my milky coffees and trying fruit teas instead....they are refreshing!!!!! Wonder what the weekend will bring........

 

[LollyM]

Well done on your loss! What teas have you tried? I've been trying a few different ones to cut down on my milk too! I like twinings blackcurrant and rhubarb, buttermint and some of the flavoured green teas

 

[Mexico18]

Thank you x I have tried the green tea with mint and the Asda three berry......I really like that one. I am tempted to try the twinings salted caramel but I'm probably going to be disappointed with it lol......how are you doing with your weightloss journey?

 

[LollyM]

Not so great at the moment. Restarted back in October, got my half stone award in after 2 weeks but haven't got past that yet! Have been constantly yoyoing since then. At the moment I've only got 5lb off BUT this week has been going well so hopefully this is me back on track!

I've had the salted caramel, I like them but they wouldn't be my favourite.
