Getting back in zone, to loose for good!!

Hi T, how lovely to hear from you. Glad you are on SW, it is easy isn't it? I'm starting back this week with 15 syns a day as been off plan for over 2 months now. Its given me a good start, and not too hard to get into loosing syns if you know what I mean.

Next Monday, I offically WI and then will go down to 10 a day, which should see the weigh drop off.

Come over to the group if you like... Eternally Slim. xx
 
Not sure what Im eating today past lunch time, but so far it looks a little like this:

69.5 syns brought forward from yesterday:

Bfast - Bananna and ww yogurt
Snack - Alpen Bar Light (1/2 HEB)
Lunch - Egg Fried Rice (1), Fruit pack and ww yogurt
Snack - Small bowl of stew - 1
Dinner fish (cod covered in couscous) and SW chips, and huge fruit salad.
Alpen Light Bar and Curly Wirly - 6

So thats 7 syns today - leaves me with 62.5 syns to carry forward to tomorrow.



Will update the rest later :)

I have 62.5 syns left til Monday night - did a silly thing this morning and peeped on the scales, and they have not moved since Tuesday :eek:. There was me thinking damage limitation til official WI, 1st for 2 months on Monday eve and im not doing well :wave_cry:. Don't get it though, Im lisiting everything I eat and tracking it..:confused:

So its whether I continue on plan or come off now wil WI and start on Tuesday with 10 syns each day..

Meals so far:
  • Bfast - bananna
 
EF, I'm sure that 15 syns a day will work for you, long term. But if you use under your syns most of the week and then have a binge on one day, and then WI the very next day - that's not likely to look good. If you spread them out more it might have looked better. Or if you'd used 50 or so one day, but waited a few days to weigh, that would look fine as well.

Averaging 15 syns will work, if you average out your weight loss as well!
 
Im soo disgusted with myself. Im higher now then I was when I first joined. Thats yo yo dieting for you. Fut not any more.. got to do this for me and my health now, Im sure if I lost more weight Id be better off with regard to my foot as well. So here goes the long road.. but I need to start somewhere for sure..#

Tomorrow I'll track and plan.. x
 
Well back to group last night and a big shock, I wasn't expecting such a gain. Starting from scratch and this time, there will be no switching inbetween SW and off plan. Its the long haul for me now. Stats have been edited and new ticker which starts me off. Put over a stone back on, so got 3 to loose til my first target of 13 stone, and then will set a new one to get down to 11 stone. Im going to do it this year.

Ok today its Green day and I'll add a few red days with a few EE ones as well this week.

Starting this week with 12 syns per day:

  • Bfast - Beans on 2 slices of wholemeal nimble (HEB)
  • Snack - Pear
  • Lunch - Tin of speghetti and a large fruit pack
  • Snack - 2 tangerines and Alpen Light (1/2 HEB)
  • Dinner - Pasta, with passatta, peppers, quorn meatballs and chilli. 42 g low fat cheddar Cheese (HEA) plus 21g low fat cheddar (1/2 HEA)
  • Milk for tea and coffee from allowance (182 HEA 125 ml semi skimmed milk)
Curly wirly - 6 syns and a pack of low fat crisps (5.5). 11.5 gone. Thats nearly all of them, not going to carry that 1/2 over. New day new sheet tomorrow.

New start and new challenge.. x

My Grans funeral is Friday and thinking about how I will manage re food. I use food as a comfort tool and I know I'll be low that day. Was thinking about not using any syns tomorrow and saving them for Friday. But at the same time, don't want to go off plan and hvae it in my mind if I save syns I'll gain.. Not sure what to do here.. :(
 
EF, you won't necessarily gain if you save syns. You did last week, but that was when you saved them up and still went over them, and it was also on the day immediately before weigh in. So bad timing didn't help you!

Saving them can work (to a certain extent) - but if you've saved them, you still need to stay within your saved total.
Or else have a flexi day, because it's a funeral and you will be struggling emotionally.
But even if it's a flexi day, say to yourself that you're allowed, say, 40 syns - but you must still count them.

So long as you don't get into the mentality of "flexi-syns = day off = do as I like and don't count it", and so long as you only take that one flexi day, you should still lose, taking the week as a whole.

It depends whether you think you're going to be strong enough to deal with the funeral on a standard 100% On-Plan SW day with just 15 syns.
If so - go for it.
If not - think about what is the least worst of your other options?

I know this is your first week of being back on plan, and you want to be 100% as much as possible, BUT - you don't have your grandmother's funeral to deal with every week.

It's good that you're thinking about it now, though. It's important that you get through that day as well as you possibly can, and if that means that SW isn't at the absolute forefront of your mind, for that amount of time only, then you need to have pre-planned how to deal with it.

I hope it goes well, and that it doesn't derail you.
 
Thanks Sarah.. Not sure how the day will go to be honest. It might be that I feel I can't eat and then its not a problem. I'm going to save 6 from today, Sat and Sunday,and have 18 extra for tomorrow, that counting my 12 gives me 30 and thats ample to use. I might not need them all, but its an option like you said. Thanks again x
