Well done on the loss I'm destined to be a 1lb a week (2 if I'm very lucky) loser. Occasionally I get a bit loss, but then sts or put on anyway, lol. Better than not losing at all tho!

17 weeks 'til Christmas?! Wowsers. I'm hoping for another stone off by then but it looks like it might be tight!

Oops, yes, I am being a bit rubbish with my HexBs at the mo. Seem to be managing 2 HexAs no problem though, so on a green day can just count one as a HexB and one as HexA but on a red day it's not so good...
Friday - green
Breakfast - banana and apple mid-morning
Lunch - leftover tuna pasta from Wednesday
pear
apple
Snack - fibre plus bar (HexB)
banana
3 Mikados (1.5 syns)
Dinner - tomato and basil risotto with philidelphia stirred through (HexA)
Solero (5 syns)
Total syns: 6.5
Played badminton this evening and kicked OH's ass again
Oh, oh, and my slendertone arrived today!! It's a strange old thing, feels a bit like a vibration plate just on your tummy, but with your hands you can't feel anything from the outside of the belt because it's just electronic pulses making the muscles contract.
Well, done 40 mins of that this evening and don't see why I can't use it to and from work as planned, so hopefully I'll have a super-flat stomach in a couple of weeks' time

Sunday - greenBrunch - leftover pasta salad (HexB for oil)
Kitkat (5.5 syns)
Snack - KitKat (5.5 syns), 2 mikados (1 syn)
Banana
Dinner - mixed bean chilli with wholemeal rice and grated cheese (HexA)
Mini milk (1.5 syns)
Total syns: 13.5
Plus did an hour of slendertone while sat in the car. It says not to use when driving though so I think I'll do it on an evening when cooking or in front of the TV.
Well, scales haven't budged this week, so WI tomorrow I think I'll STS or maybe even gain. Rubbish. Sneaky peeking might account for today's kitkat session

Fingers crossed for WI mate! How are you finding the Slendertone??x
sarah83
Try and try again
Good luck for WI.
I'm intrigued about the slendertone belt, you'll have to let us know if it makes a difference. I loved your Sunday diary - reminds me why I love SW - you managed to have 2 kit kats, mikados and a mini milk yet still stayed within your syn allowance!!
I think I might be a copy cat and start doing some greens too - I like being able to use oil as an extra HEXB when I'm cooking pasta, and being able to have Alpen lights or fibre plus bars as snacks. Plus I think I do genuinly eat more veg on green days rather than EE... Will be keeping an eye on your diaries for ideas missy.
PS - your BBQ sounds scrummy

Thanks ladies, I am liking the Slendertone so far - you can definitely feel it working the muscles. On the box it says '100% of users notice a firmer, flatter stomach within 8 weeks of use'. I think the firm and flat might be well hidden under the belly, but I'll give it a couple of months before giving a verdict!
To be honest it is very simple to use so shouldn't be a great chore to stick at. The pads on the belt are very sticky but they don't leave any stickiness on the skin when you peel them off so it's not like machines of the past where you had to smear conductive gel on your belly! You don't get any aching the next day either (which I definitely would if I tried to attempt 120 real sit-ups in one session!).
I got in on an ebay deal of the day (It was new though...) for £36 and free delivery.
Will definitely keep you all updated - especially if a washboard stomach miraculously appears over the next few weeks

Hmph, grumpy post now, I have gained half a pound this week
I know you can't expect to lose every week but it has got me down a bit, especially when I read posts on here all the time of people losing 2lbs despite a takeaway or boozy night out. Life's not fair!!!
Also, I am off to Paris for the rest of the week after today, and know it won't be a good week foodwise so was aiming to STS next week. But if I've gained from being 100%, there's no hope for me next WI
Only thing I think it can be is having 2 bananas a day which I have done most days over the past week (bunches were on BOGOF ). I have read people on here saying they need to go careful on the bananas, so maybe it's that?
Or maybe it's the exercise, but that's just plain unfair too.
I know it's only half a pound, but I've been trying so hard, with all the exercise and sticking 100% to plan with regards to food, that's it's getting me down. Going to be extra hard to make positive food choices while I'm away after this too
