aww thank you!
and yet i always see other people's photos and think...meh! when it comes to mine lol.
usually the same stuff i make chick but it does me and i wouldn't know where to start with some of the fancy meals people on here have lol
i'm always reading your diary and a massive well done on your results the last couple of weeks! you're doing fab!
been looking at my BMR too and i think i'm the opposite of you...maybe eating too many calories?
mines is just over 1600 and if our HE's are potentially worth 600 alone (think they're 6 syns each so on a red or green day we can have 2 of each) so that leaves 1000 calories.
if you take off the average 10 syns i use a day...that leaves me 800 which may be a lot sometimes..but not if i was having pasta n sauce etc..
(which i only really use as a base for my quiche but you get what i mean...that and the mugshots etc)i know there are days when i won't be eating that...but there MUST be days where i am (more than 1 yog etc...it all adds up) and whilst i know we don't calorie count...it's always in the back of my mind!
anyway, i've not done too bad on my journey...seen losses most of the time (apart from every 4th week) but it annoys me that 1 meal off plan can have such a huge impact on the scales...and yeah, i know it's probably bloat sometimes but it's disheartening.
i feel like it does show what effect foods have on our bodies...but putting 4lbs on after 1 meal out is pretty sh1t lol.
seems there are a few folk struggling on here at the mo and it's maybe down to the time of year...lots more social events, nibbles in the office etc but it's hard sometimes to get a happy medium isn't it.
anyhoo...enough of my...well...whatever that just was lol...x

Wanted to try the chocolate brownies again after not liking them last time.
I don't like dark chocolate so it's no wonder I didn't when I used cocoa powder! Lol
This morning I opted for 60g of cadburys drinking powder instead and they're much better!
Think i'd use less sweetener next time but works out at 0.5 syns per piece (405 calls for 100g of the powder, 60g = 243 and following the 20 cals to 1 syn rule means 12 in total and I cut these into 24.)
Didn't top them with quark and choc powder as I didn't like them last time but these are not bad...although I'll need to try not to eat the whole tray now lol x

They look awesome! I saw the recipe somewhere and remember thinking that was a LOT of sweetener going in, not sure if it is the same recipe you used? I'm not sure I could trust myself not to over-indulge!
I've been doing EE constantly so far but think I might have to try some red/green days, the Quorn stuff sounds like it's worth trying for a green day

I love green days...and although I do a few red sometimes too, I struggle more with them as they def need more planning on my part.
The recipe I used asked for way more sweetener than I actually used...but I'd still use a bit less next time I think.
All trial and error with what we each like eh x

Well done on the loss! I love your food pics too, my dinners always look so disorganised and yours look neat and inviting!
You have inspired me to plan one red and one green day this week, just to try something different so I might be raiding your diary for ideas, hope you don't mind

thanks chick
not a great month for me in November as i was away for the weekend twice but today's result was in the right direction (and actually 4lbs down compared to last week's unofficial WI when i wasn't at class and i had a peek!)
oh it was discipline alright...those burgers were screaming at me! dunno how i did it...but i did tell my OH, when i'm having off plan time over xmas, we should go to Burger King so i can indulge! lol x

aww thanks...i never think they look fancy compared to some on here.
i've only just started posting pics cos i have the app on my phone now
steal away....that's exactly how i got my head around red days and got ideas to plan my very 1st one.
you'll need to let me know how you get on x

DAY - GREEN
Breakfast:
rice pudding with mixed berries, chopped banana and yog
boiled egg
Snack:
hifi bar and a piece of dahl loaf
Lunch:
mis shape chocolates! (star week arrived and as those of you who follow this thread know, i'm always sick/faint on the 1st day! i was feeling iffy so had these at work courtesy of my colleague)
Dinner:
quorn chilli with cheese in a baked potato
fruit salad with yog
HEb's:
ryvita mini's
hifi bar
HEa's:
30g cheddar
Syns:
dextro energy - 1
mis shape chocolates....too many i imagine
so, today i've probably been well over my syns thanks to the chocolates but it's the 1st month in a while that i NEVER got to the stage where my blood sugars dropped suddenly leaving me a quivering wreck, and for a change, i wasn't left grey in colour borderline fainting and being sick!
this is a massive achievement for me seeing as i was at work (last month i had to phone for an emergency holiday seeing as i almost passed out before i left for work and just couldn't function!!) but i think it's partly to do with the fact that i felt ok in the morning and that let me have some food and tablets and although i felt naff in the afternoon, it wasn't a patch on last month!!
i can't say i'll manage it like this next month cos it really depends on what time i get it, if i've eaten etc but big bonus for me!
i missed lunch and had the chocolates instead but the rest of the day has been as planned and at the end of the day...not passing out at work or being sick was my main priority...and if it means i over syn'd then so be it...just glad i managed it! lol.
off now to cosy up with a hot water bottle....damn that mother nature and her stomach cramps!x

I'm so glad I don't have * week any more! Mine were awful pain wise and occasionally I think I might be having a slight hormonal peak, I don't have any of the symptoms, not sure how I would cope with them these days!
I really hope the cramps don't last too long, it sounds really un-fun and I think chocolate was most definitely needed today :hug99:

aww thank you
the cramps are one thing but i think what happens is my blood sugars drop in an instant with no time to prepare so i'm left feeling faint, sick,sweating, shaking and the most horrendous colour - all the symptoms of it being blood sugar related and once it passes, i feel exhausted and unable to think straight for a bit.
Mrs N was making an appearance at the weekend or on my day off which didn't change my symptoms, but it meant there was no pressure to be ok and quick if i had to be somewheer...but it was late last month and arrive through the night before a work day so when i got up, i hadn't eaten etc so it seemed worse and i had to phone work for an emergency holiday!
it's awful cos i panic at the thought of something being on at the same time i'm due cos i know i just can't function for those few hours
it's awful cos i find that i'm worse with the faint/sugars side of it the more weight i lose. (i lost a lot of weight years ago and that's when it started) and really, i should goto the dr's but other than try and prepare myself as much as i can...it's out of my control cos i never know how it will be.
so a high syn day for me as i said but it's def helped cos i didn't get the faint way like all the other times
how have you been getting on with the plan? i notice you had 1 stone off from yesterday....great news!
what type of meals have you been having? x

Ooooh funsize ripples! I absolutely love galaxy chocolate! Have been treating myself with either mini milky bars or curly wurlys but will definitely keep an eye out for little ripples.
Sounds like a trip to the doctors is definitely overdue, I am 100% sure they could do something to at least help with the symptoms, especially as they sound so extreme, I can't imagine having to go through that once every 3 months, let alone every month. It sounds exhausting too.
Thanks for noticing the new goal, I had my first official SW weigh in yesterday but had been doing it at home for a week before I joined up (And I'd been doing other types of diet since end of August). Just doing EE days at the moment and I've turned into the tupperware queen with all my prepping! I usually have magic porridge for breakfast, piece of fruit mid morning and hifi in the afternoon with lunch and dinner being usually some sort of veg and meat. I have been keeping a food diary on here but I haven't put it in my sig yet, I think I need to update it too but I find it helps me stay on track.
