From Maximus to Minimus - coming soon!

Wow - you are a SW superhero! :)
I wish I was having the same success... My weight has been up and down (one gain undeserved and the last one undeserved). I had a sneaky peak this morning and after being 100% for four days, even resisting my daughter's birthday cake (!), I have so far lost a poxy half a pound :-(. I know it's not weigh in day yet but.......

Evening Steve x

Hey, good loss hunni! All that worry...and then you go and pull 5lbs out the bag! I seem to remember a little birdie (not just little but almost SKINNY actually! ) telling you it'd be ok?

As for the bowing down...

In your dreams sunshine!!! ;-)

Hee hee - she'll be getting on one in just over 12 hours!

Well done on the 5 lbs off. If only I could manage to do that I'd smash target! And in a week!!!! Go Stevie Go. So close to that Century club![/COLOR]

I always have big gains/losses Bev:eek: - when I was approaching target (in April) the week before target I needed 4lb loss to reach the 11st 5lb as I was 11st 9lb - I weighed in that week and astonishly lost 8.5lb! I not only reached target, but went 0.5lb below the minimum range:eek:

I seldom do STS's or 0.5's lol

I Put it all down to the exercise and not just the food. No other reason for it, exhaustive gym sessions followed by mammoth walks really helped me. - If only more people had the time to dedicate to a few hours in the moors of a weekend, the weight would drop of them;)

You be quiet madam. Shenzi is my very own "Swiss Miss" - I just wish I could make the food diary a little more exciting for you. I trust you appreciate it is more about weight loss than gastronomic delights.

Tonight I made a big decision to have as a reward for my loss an Indian takeaway:eek: - not the smartest of moves, but having discussed the merits of a local takeaway at work no-stop for the past week, having had a good loss I treated myself.

Delicious, off plan, syn city - not even bothering (proper flexi day - write it off). I feel guilty now, but have plenty of time to get back to where I need to be.

Just means no more extra easy days for a week.

PS it was delicious so the guilt is tempered by the (pleasant) memory.

Most people have a treat after WI - I guess I did too;)

PS my belly hurts:p
 
Hey!

Happy weekend everyone!

What's the plans? - mine is to be 100% - right that's the food sorted. Anyone doing anything exciting?

After yesterday's Indian blowout, today was a rather sedate Weetabix & milk (A+B) Capuccino (or is it Cappucino) hmmm Cappuccino even! (2.5syns)

Corned beef sandwich (hex B) +4syns +2 (spread) +3 for hifi light, apple, banana and plum.

Prawn salad (cheese for 2nd HEXA)
Mueller Light.

Tomorrow I'm going to see about a mountain bike I think. Can just see me ploughing through the winter mud/ice with my goggles and balaclava - steady Dawn, that's not role-play:p

Might dig out my mits too - the one's with the string so I don't lose them (thanks mum;))

Our consultant brought some in last week, really tasty, thought about making them with mince, or quorn mince even - no syns at all then, and could get away with 2 on a red / green day

don't know if you saw it in the recipe thread but I made a potato, cheese and onion one :D it was amazing. syn free if using HExB pitta and A for the cheese :D
 
JackieN said:
you okay Steve :eek: you had an after WI blowout :eek: I swear its psychological with you as you like having weight to lose ;)

Have you tried the 1 syn/HEXB corned beef sw pasties? xxxxx
Click to expand...
Not so much psychological, but I don't like blaming people for my falings, but it was all Laura's fault:eek:

All week at work I was being told about the Star Tandoori in Washington (near were I live) Thursday being my late I called in after work:eek:

You're right though - a 5lb loss deserved a treat and I do think that way. I have 6 days to put it right. I should have rememebered there is no ramble this week - making it even harder. (got my excuses in early then right (bookmark this post;)).

Not tried those pasties as to be honest I don't crave pasties and would find it a case of eating them for the sake of eating them (if that makes sense?) I left pies, pasties and sausage rolls behind - Greggs of Gosforth (to give them their full title) can go bust for me:cool:

Don't know if you've noticed Jax (or everyone) compromise is something I don't particularly embrace. I tried SW chips and they are just no substitute for the real thing (despite what others might claim) Tefal Actifry ones are. I can live with that sort of compromise - poached/baked in foil cod (without batter of course), actifry chips and mushy peas are quite possibly the best compromise I've found.
 
Evening SW superhero ;-)

Do you make the chips yourself for your actifry? I have an airfryer and have tried lots of variations but find the best option is cutting the chips in to circle slices (easier and more surface area) and then adding 2t oil works best. You can cook mccains with no oil but I am not sure what the syn value would be for those.

Can you come and check my food diary for me from time to time? Pretty please :). I am really trying to be 100% and would like anyone to point out if I have gone wrong.

Have a nice evening and fun checking out the bike tomorrow x

Of course I will/can - anything for my #1 fan;)

Yes, I tried the Phillips Airfryer. I know opinions vary, but the Actifry was and is much better (though I know there are a lot of Airfryer fans out there too).

You can put frozen and/or oven chips in there but personally that is the most pointless exercise as it is hardly expensive or difficult to purchase and peel potatoes - (unless of course there are other issues such as severe mobility or disability issues of course:()

No compromise (that "c" word again lol) always Maris Piper potatoes, always thoroughly washed of all starches (after they have been chipped) and then thoroughly dried. You can have with or without peeling. Then just one spoonful - measured at 14ml of extra virgin olive oil - always Fillipo Berrio:eek: - now that may seem a little OCD, but that guarantees perfect chips and consistency time after time. press the button and then remove. No touching, turning, checking, etc.

Wow! I've become an Actifry geek:eek:

Went for the dangerous "extra easy" plan today. Beans on toast for breakfast. Vegetable soup (home made & syn-free of course) chicken salad with some of them Actichips;) for lunch and dinner was a pre-frozen chicken madras/rice.

Spent a couple of hours wandering the shops today then some "family business" to attend - I knew I had to face some issues with Virgin Media as they'd manage to mix up several accounts and passwords so got that sorted too. I hate having to do the IT stuff - it is so timetaking and frustrating:mad:

Never got the old body magic going - well, not as much walking as I'd like, - or even the gardening I threatened!!
 
Or I "accidentally" got u with my cattle prod...;-)

Bullocks!


Well, can't speak for anyone else but what a fantastic weekend it was for this one! Oh and I've even got a 40th birthday invite for next Saturday night for my cousin Deborah! Great! - I get to show off my new figure in front of family and friends who I've not seen for ages.

I even managed to be 100% today - in fact still got 11.5 syns left! HIFI bars - the new light ones with a diet coke should suffice.

Was extra easy today - best keep an eye on portion control! Don't want to take my eye off the ball or foot off the gas now (other clichés are available).

Morning! Thank you so much for the messages. Very very helpful and have given me a kick up the butt to get with the program :)

Will list absolutely everything I eat and drink on my diary so if you get a chance to critique that would be fab:cool:

Have a great day x
