Hi Hun your diary looks brill, I thought stir fry noodles were free as long as you use the 1 cal spray? Have I got that wrong as I've not been counting as syns x

Hello :)
I'm not sure, I'm new to this myself, I was told that if the noodles aren't dry, they probably have a syn value. I bought a pack from Morrison's flavoured with soy and ginger, which was 1.5syn for half a pack on the syn calculator. I think it cos they add oils to keep them fresher. Dry carbs are free though. I used the low cal spray too, that's free.
Hope that helps! X

Body magic.. I walked a total of 6 miles with my friend to the beach for some swimming and sunbathing! What a scorcher of a day. My friend lives in Dubai and is over to visit and even she was struggling in the heat! Knackered after that, a total of 2.5hours of walking and swimming.

A very good day! X

Hi Clover,

your day of swimming and walking sounds lovely, if hot and exhausting. Do you live within three hours walk of a beach.? I'd love to live near some open water where you can swim. There is a swimming pond far away on the other side of London that I used to go to .... ooh, about 25 years ago! I'm planning on another visit when my daughter comes to stay next month, I expect it will have changed a bit! Have a lovely weekend.
 
Your diary is looking good! You seem to know what you're doing :)
 
Clover, I'm not a vegetarian because I eat some fish and eggs....but I don't eat any meat or poultry or dairy. I have some problems with grains too because they affect my ears and the dairy gives me extremely sore eyes. So I try and avoid things that make me feel bad.
I used to eat meat (while living in Spain) but found that the chicken breasts were getting larger and larger and they were supposed to be farm reared... I decided I didn't want to eat meat anymore!

Aw visiting that will be nice after all that time! I live on the outskirts of London, so not much open water! But I come from Devon and am visiting my mum for a few weeks, the house I grew up in, which is just 55min walk to the beach, 3miles each way. I usually have my car but took the cheaper option of the coach, at least I'm doing more body magic! The walk back was all on a steady incline, my legs are feeling it today!

Thank you! Well, I'm still learning! Did SW a few years ago so I'm not a complete novice :) first time doing it as a veggie tho! X

Ah.. I know that feeling, I had to do an elimination diet to find what foods were aggregating me.. Turned out it was full fat dairy and white carbs (bread, Rice, pasta).

So I only eat whole meal stuff and fat free dairy. No meat or fish, but I eat eggs. I have so much more energy and my skin is better. If I eat those triggers, I get really grouchy and bloated. I'm a veggie for the animals though and I disagree with the fact all the grain we feed farm animals to feed ourselves which could be grown and shared to 3rd world countries.. Not to mention the greenhouse gases from animal waste and the cruelty of the livestock industry... Ooo getting abit deep now! Well just an insight to my food choices :)
 
Good evening Mini's!
Today was a good day but not so great on the SW side, I ate out twice (eeeeek) but was SW savvy where possible.

So, just been looking at old photos and decided I'm gonna post a photo to show how much weight iv lost in my face so far, the left picture is of me in march this year, and the other 2 are from this july so about 3 months difference. Didn't realize I had lost so much in my face but people keep telling me I have so I thought I'd compare them, I'm shocked and so happy. Spurred on for better results! :D

PS. First time I've posted my face!
 
So, it was WI tonight... Iv eaten out 7times AND its my time of the month so I was dreading it! I weigh in at 7.30pm and didn't get lunch til almost 4pm (and I was eating out!)
