Sister in law cooked last night and made gorgeous chicken in Parma ham with low low cheese, mash and veg 
all went well until they tried out their new popcorn and mini donut maker .... I didn't go to excess but I did try a few bits.
Im not feeling great on * week so far so I'm just craving chocolate .... Any tips to help?
Really just want to be curled up in a blanket ....
Anyway enough moaning.
Breakfast: Bread, banana, grapes
Lunch: Homemade mushroom soup maybe with bread (1 slice to be synned)
Snacks: Satsumas, mugshot, banana
Dinner: Stew it's bubbling away now as we speak! Lots of Superfree yumminess Carrots Onions Mushrooms Leeks, with cannellini beans stewing steak and stock
Happy Halloween!! xxxx

Use all your syns on chocolate!!!!!
I tend to be able to curb my chocolate craving with a fudge hot chocolate (2 syns) and a dime bar or curly Wurly. I just have to remind myself that I need to stay in control. . XxSent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Happy November everyone eek I love November; Christmas times are fast approaching!
Weighed in this morning and STS. Thank goodness for that. I really deserved a gain so I'm pleased. Struggling a little with syns due to not feeling 100% (* week) but I'm going to religiously count them from today so I can compensate towards the end of the week.
Breakfast: Bread (HEB) banana and grapes
Lunch: Brown rice, chicken, chickpeas, passata, onion, garlic and red peppers
Snacks: Satsuma
Dinner: Going out for Chinese - think I can make some good choices. Any recommendations to have or avoid please?
Syns: Chinese related syns, maybe a glass of wine, and I'll probs make a careful chocolate choice today

I always go for chicken chow mein which is 6 syns I think? But only for a small portion!
I think chicken/beef black bean is 5 too when you get it with boiled rice It's pretty easy to stay on plan with chinese food as long as you avoid starters and sides! xx

Thanks honey
I'm going to enjoy tonight but count what I have. I've already been informed there will be the sharing of a big combi platter for starter :/ so I just need to count anything that I have.
Excited for tonight on 6 syns today atm: 1 shortbread bat (4) and 2 fangtastics (2) Going to not have any more and wait for chinese food and wine
Got friends coming to stay for the weekend tomorrow. But I am going to take her to Meadowhall for lunch and then I can have a Subway Salad or a jacket potato or Nandos see what she fancies. Then I am cooking brisket for tomorrow night so that will be in the slowcooker and syn free . We are going out but not drinking a lot (she can't due to her kidneys) so it should be a hangover free evening, but such fun getting dressed up and having a dance! Then sunday I am cooking a sunday dinner, so minimum syns Feel like I can stay on top of things this weekend as I really really want a weight loss next Friday

Hello ladies Hope that you all had a lovely weekend
Weekend went okay on plan actually .... went for Chinese Friday night and chose carefully minimizing the naughty things, but had some wine and synned in at 56; Saturday had a few drinks and synned in at 35 (maybe a bit harsh) then had a few chocs yesterday! So no syns for rest of the week but proud I didn't over binge (syns add up so quick I used to eat like 6 times as much at a weekend with no thought to it!)
Weighed in this morning, we always do after a weekend, and .... 10st 13lbs!! so so surprised and pleased. If i can keep the weight off until Friday's weigh in I'll have lost 4lbs, gained my 1 stone award, and got into the 10s! I am unbelievably motivated!

Morning ladies. Weighed myself this morning (I know I shouldn't) and 10st11lbs! Really hope I can keep this weight off for weigh in! (And longer hehe)
But I'm really confused how I'm losing it like this when I never have before? Only differences are that I'm drinking more tea, Eating less fruit, and smaller portions at dinner ....

Today's food
Red? I'll have to syn the pasta with tea tonight but is best way I think
Breakfast: Weetabix with milk, banana and satsuma
Lunch: SW friendly New York Deli sandwich: gherkins, pastrami, low fat mayo dressing (few syns as has ketchup and horseradish in), cheese
Snacks: Satsuma, plum, fat free yoghurt
Dinner: Prawn and chorizo (2.5) pasta - had to be something quick as seeing James mum tonight!
Syns: 6 pasta 2 dressing 2.5 chorizo
Bit naughty with pasta but is only way I can think of it when we haven't got much time
