Well, ended up having the leftover pasta, another bit of toffee and a lindor chocolate - still safely within the syn allowance though!
I feel a bit like the sharks in Finding Nemo, who get one sniff of blood and lose it completely - if I had one Malteaser, I would have finished the bag, and easily had a week's worth of syns...Luckily the chocolate I had last night was the last one left in the box!
Mix2match-ing today - breakfast and lunch green, dinner red. All snacks have to be synned unless superfree /Healthy Extras so I will have fruit throughout the day and save a HexB + A for ryvita and cheese tonight when the munchies arrive. Got to get those safety nets in place!!!
And a bit of added incentive - scales were 1lb down this morning already

Yay well done on your early loss - that's fab! I daren't weigh before Saturday!
Nice plan and hope you enjoyed that single chocolate.
To be fair I did count out my maltesers into a little bowl and hid the rest of the bag away!!
I love your late munchie plans... and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your fishcakes tonight

I gave them to my hubby and told him not to let me have anymore
Oh and this was while he was eating ice cream! Luckily I'd made such a huge portion for dinner I was stuffed, but the maltesers were needed for a sweet hit!Going back to the prawn cakes (anyone would think I was obsessed!), while nosing on the 'what's for tea' thread I notice it's from the 30 minute meal book...
I think I may have made them before, do they have pork mince in them? If so they're really good - I really enjoyed. I think I made them the first time I did a fishy week

Yep, that's the ones, blitzed it all up last night so it's busy infusing in the fridge today and should be nice and quick to do this evening...
Right, I'm off to heat up some soup for lunch

Wednesday - day 2 100%, Mix 2 MatchBreakfast (superfree) - banana and apple
Lunch (green) - gingered sweet potato soup (HexA for milk)
Snacks (superfree) - 3 tangerines
Dinner (red) - ginger prawn cakes, stirfy veg and 35g pasta (HexB)
2 thorntons chocolates (6 syns)
Prawn cakes were really good, and am very full now though. Think I'd put more prawn / less pork in next time as not much prawn taste came through.
Donna, if you're interested, recipe is 400g raw tiger prawns, 200g extra lean pork mince, 2 garlic cloves, 2 spring onions, 1 red chilli, 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, all blitzed together and left to infuse overnight. Then just pop patties of the mixture in a frying pan for a few minutes one each side. Delish
Still got ryvitas and cheese (HexB+A) for a late night snack, and only 6 syns eaten so far. Slendertone done, arms exercises done. Woohoo, definitely back in the zone

...there may have been a third later on
But still, not a blow out, all within plan, day 3 here we come
And another half a pound off according to the scales this morning... I really do believe that weight gained quickly is easier to lose. Let's hope that statement doesn't bite me in the bum over the next few weeks

Ooh well done for that extra half lb!!
I've been good and not stepped on the scales since Saturday - I think I'm scared that if it doesn't show a loss it'll send me off track...
I think you're right - the fact that it was gained so quickly must have something to do with water retention, and I'm sure our bodies react better to good food when they've had a bit of naughty stuff!

Thank you! I don't think I could have pushed myself back on plan if I hadn't seen the numbers on the scales!
Thursday - green, day 3 100%
Breakfast - banana and apple
Lunch - gingered sweet potato soup (HexA for milk in it), 1 scan bran with philidelphia (Was meant to be 5 for a HexB+A but was stuffed, and I'd forgotten how bad scan bran truly are Going to say 3 syns instead - oh my goodness, I'm actually using syns on scanbran, yuck)
Snacks - 3 tangerines, apple, Weetabix oaty bar (HexB)
Dinner - roast peppers stuffed with brown rice, carrot, celery, onion, mushroom and a bit of cheese melted on top (HexA)
Curly wurly (6 syns)
Slendertone done, will do arm exercises later when the cat gets off my lap - I think he's taken up being more friendly as his new year's resolution. Either that or he just doesn't like his bed any more because I unpicked the cover and washed it last week so it doesn't stink any more.
Got a slice of cheese on toast (HexA+B) in mind for later on if I get the munchies, or fromage frais and sweetener if I fancy something sweet

My order isn't going to arrive for a while yet because I ordered a Valentine's box of chocs as well and the whole order will dispatch together in a couple of weeks...
There might be a pic of me with chocolate all round my face rather than a pic of the wreath though

Good news, scales were saying 3lbs down already this morning!!! Wish every week on SW was this successful! Day 4 here we come

Hi MissFatPants, welcome to Minimins! I'm from Selby so not that far from you - bet you're as grumpy about the return of the snow as I am?!
Everyone recommends that you do stick to one weigh in per week, but I am too impatient and a week is a LOOONG time, so I hop on the scales at least twice a day. I am a Monday morning weigher as well so keep us posted with how you do on the Monday thread. Have you got a diary?
Thanks Sarah, I'm crossing my fingers for a 4lb loss this week, which will be nearly all my Christmas weight lost. I have the whole weekend to try and be good though, and it is always much harder than weekdays...
We can do it! PMA. I would love to be in the 11s by my birthday / Valentine's - 11lb to go (well, 8 if I knock off the few that are already gone, and 8 sounds much more achieveable )
