when I do slimming world I always write syns on packs before I put them away so I dont have to spend ages looking them up when I want to eat anything - stops me from eating first and look it up second
hope that works for you

Now why didn't I think of that when i was on SW - mind you I never used to eat syns - just too much free food lol!

you could do it now with calories but put the amount on anything that is not a needed food - do it in indelible marker so he cant take the stuff to work and peel off your labels you wont be able to do it either of course

I have been busy...organising our goodies...sorted one lot for the kids only (party ring mini size biscuits although even they are about 120 cals a bag i think)...and here's our goodie box...<img src="http://www.minimins.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=86606"/><img src="http://www.minimins.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=86607"/>...everything has been labelled with its calorie value ... hoping that it makes Paul think before he tucks 2-3 in his pj pcoket on his way up to bed!!!

That's a right stash!! xx

He'd bloody kill me if I did that lol! When we were using the SlimFast in the first couple of weeks he used to remove the label from the bottle so no=one would laugh at him - I pack his lunch up (his workmates are dead jealous and say he is spoilt) today he has prawn & pasta salad, yogurt, apple and jaffa cake bar, dinner is the same as mine - he has about 200 cals (he gets just under 2000 cals a days) left for a treat when after dinner

That's a right stash!! xx

I bet you have a little stash as well???

 

[Mrs.S.]

Haha yeah but mine and the kids are all
Mixed up, and I daren't have too much in as when I'm feeling like scoffing, I'd eat the lot! xx

I went on a mammoth walk today - hadn't planned on it but I collected Noah from school and bless him he has growing pains in his legs so I am having to push him everywhere in his buggy if its more than a 5-10 min walk - so off we went to meet Megan in the park near her school and I completely lost my marbles and walked in the wrong direction - I was saying to Noah "where has the park gone?" and he was saying "it's gone mummy" then the penny dropped I was nowhere near the park and had to walk all the way to our little shoping centre and back on myself as the roads run parallel with my side streets - worked up a right sweat! Thankfully I remembered the way home lol! Two hours I was walkign for!

Awesome walking session - even if it wasn't intended haha!!

good luck with your calorie plans but dont go too low at your current weight as it will leave you no where to cut back later - how about eating back half you exercise calories when when nearer to target you can cut those back again
if you are only going to do it for a week to shock the body that will be fine - but remember it gets harder the nearer to target you get
do some things that you enjoy doing today - to set yourself mentally for tomorrow and do get plenty of rest during the day in case you dont sleep well

have a great day my wonderful supportive friend

Oh i will lol - in my defense the two roads are identical - one leads to the library and the other to the park, you know what is like when you're chatting away to a 3 year old...well that's my defence and I am sticking to it - how are you today? will pop to your diary once my boys are gone xxx

 

[lil miss chatterbox]

so true. my kids are both away to school now, so the non sensical chatting has ended! i remember going show shopping with my little girl when she was 3 for shoes for me, and I ended up with nothing for me, but she managed to talk me into getting her shoes!
