Well I've dabbled with SW before and never really fully stuck to it 100% before. I've lost a bit of weight recently through exercise without really sticking to a plan, but I've just come back from holiday and gained a few pounds back!

I know so many people who have done the EE plan and succeeded, so I'm hoping this 3rd and final time I can also lose the weight like they have! Before I used to try to use Green and red days, but this time I'm just going to try EE, see how I go. I've also got my exercise sorted so that should be an extra little push to lose weight :).

Wish me luck! I need motivation!


Day 1:

Breakfast: Branflakes HEX B with greek muller 0.5 syns

Lunch: Dolmio Pasta Vita Tomato & Basil 3syns, muller light

Dinner: Jacket potato with chicken, mushrooms, ham, garlic, parmesan HEX A, FF fromage frais, with corn on the cob & salad.

Snack: Go Ahead Yogurt break 7 syns, 4 ghiradelli squares 14 syns (oops, last of them at least!)



Syns: 24.5

Week: 24.5/105

I'm back after a few days away! I've not eaten too badly and I seem to have lost 3lbs from last Thursdays weigh in of 158.6! Now at 155.4lbs! Yay!!! I think most of it was probably water retention though!

I shall see how I get on this week :) Going to keep Monday as my new weigh in day, always feel like I should start at the beginning of the week.

Weekends food was not too bad, did eat some ice cream on Saturday but it probably used up my 15 syns for the day! had a choc bar yesterday using 12 syns.


Monday: EE: The beginning of my strict no going over syns week!


Breakfast: Boiled egg, bran flakes HEXB, muller light

Lunch: Mugshot, ham and chicken slices, muller light

Dinner: Shepherds Pie with veg.

Snack: Apple, Twinings hot chocolate with milk HEXA & 4 syns, Butterkist toffee popcorn 6 syns, powdered milk in tea 1.5 syns


Syns: 11.5

Week: 11.5/105
 
Hi there just subscribing.

I noticed on diary by Angwass you were interested in soups. I have a couple which I love from other peoples threads.

Potato & Sweetcorn soup.

1 medium potato cubed
1 onion sliced up
large tin seweetcorn. cheapest is ok.
1.3/4pts chicken stock. 2-3 stock cubes ok.

Bring to the boil and simmer until potato is soft, then blitz. I use hand blender.

I sometimes add a little mild curry powder yo a portion. Very nice.


Butternut squash & carrot soup. this may be one of pete`s

Medium BNS deseeded and cut into medium pieces (leave the skin on)
2 large carrots peeled if nec. cut into medium cubes
1 onion sliced.

1/4 tsp chilli flakes if you like the heat

Put all in a pan and bring to the boil and simmer till all cooked & blitz.

Give them a try, they are lovely.

Hey Nanny Doreen,

Thank you for the soup recipes! They sound lovely! I will definitely give them a try :) I just need to find a decent soup container that doesn't spill and can go in the microwave!

Do you have a diary I could look at?

Hi Alycyn,

I'm doing well thank you! Seemed to manage a loss from last week which is good! I hope for another 0.5 - 1lb for next week :)

The Twinings hot choc was lovely, just what I needed on a cold evening (worse is still to come though sadly!). What is Choc tea like?! I've been tempted but don't know if I'd find it a little weird!

How is your week going? x

Hey Angwass,

I hope it's looking OK, I'm not eating too much crap but still making room for a sweet treat! Couldn't live without them! I'm also trying to stick below syns, aiming for 10-12 at the moment. I shall pop over to your diary now :) x
