I always weigh in leggings and a vest top regardless of the weather

I just de layer if it is winter

Yes a lot of ladies do that at group too.
I always wear the same sort of skirt and one of my blouses and then take off my fleece or cardi. And definitely never wear my watch!! The strap on my new one is much lighter though. lol

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I take off all my jewellery but I do wear a lot !!

Baked eggs in mushrooms with beans
Satsumas

Options 2 syns
2 caramel snack a jacks 4 syns

Jelly sweets 4 syns

SW korma using Asda chicken style pieces which still tasted like quorn even though they're soya
Chickpea dahl from a tin with added spinach which wasn't that nice too much cumin
Cauliflower rice
Paratha 13 syns

Chewy delight hex b
2 alpen lights hex b

Total 23 syns but no hex a so could minus 6 syns which makes it 17

 

[janetelizabeth]

Oh that interesting about the chicken style pieces...
I've read that a lot of members really like that chickpea dahl.
Yes make the syns 17!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I've used the chickpea dahl before in the curry loaf which tasted ok but it was rather strong

I'm at a loss what to do to get in target for Tuesday
I've not weighed since 31st March and the scales have gone back up this morning for obviously no reason

 

[janetelizabeth]

Maybe SP Isn't working for you?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I'm not really doing 100% sp as I've had fat free fromage frais in the korma. I had potatoes on Thursday and a couple of other non sp stuff but it all fits in with green days so that's why I'm very upset and at a loss what to do

 

[ginlin]

Big boo to the scales Jaffa!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Do you keep food diaries... I tend to look back for ideas on what was working before. Have any meds changed that could cause it?

I know you can use your syns etc on them but what about cutting out crisps,bars,biscuits,any bready stuff and sweets for a couple of days and see what happens.

Thank you folks

I only keep my food diaries on here Janet

Cavegirl bars and breads are usually my healthy extras so can't really cut them out. I should be losing on this as 15 syns is only 300 calories and the fact I'm counting everything plus no pasta rice and only 4 new potatoes since Tuesday should make some difference
Syns are there to be used and everyone says they lose more eating their syns then not and I prefer to use mine as snacks whereas some people like to incorporate them in meals

Depressing as it is this is what my body is like which is why it took me 2 years to lose two stone

No new medication Janet nothing new at all

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes sorry if I sounded off I get so frustrated when I get stuck like this and I understand what you're saying

I have managed to put on more weight then I do when I go away for 7 days all inclusive !!

My body is hanging on to everything at the moment it seems

 

[janetelizabeth]

Just a thought...maybe the can of chickpea dahl had a lot of salt in it? That can sometimes cause a gain.
Yeah these bods are hard to work with I know.
In effect you could still have next week as your 4th week...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

No I don't think I can weigh next week that's the problem

As I'm at the hospital all day on the Monday and I won't be able to control my food intake as I have to eat and drink at set times whilst wearing the camera

So I can't risk as I'm not sure what I'll be eating and drinking day before weigh in !!

It might be alright but I won't have a clue until the day is done

 

[janetelizabeth]

Oh what a dilemma Jaffa. :bighug:
Looks like it's you and me doing our best!

 

[ginlin]

Do you have to weigh this week Jaffa?

When I switched Groups, I hadn't weighed for five weeks, but found online that they would let you go about six weeks, but just preferred you to weigh in once a month!

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes my c told me 6 weeks when I was discussing the ankle issue with her. Jaffa I'm sure your c would be supportive knowing about your health issues as the moment. And maybe it would help your body not be so stressed about the 'having to weigh in'? I think that's what hinders me too.

 

[dsjb99]

Oh Jaffa I understand your difficulties and I never know what makes the difference to my weight some weeks. I do hope to go this Tuesday night, but we shall see what the scales say that evening. Kinda proud I went to a zumba class yesterday and another zumba class (for charity organised by a person who is running the marathon next week). I still have some syns left. At my group we only have 70 syns a week Jaffa, 10 a day, maybe you could cut yours down a little and see if that makes a difference.
Glad you had a great time away Janet.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I suppose I could book a holiday tomorrow and next week just in case but I've never been that long weighing before and as I've said I've never put on this much on a proper holiday and this was just 2 heavy weekends

I'll keep an eye on the scales today and tomorrow and we'll see

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Donna and well done for all your zumba classes!!

Yes I'm going to play it all by ear too...I reason that if the scales can do a 'hike' they can also do a 'dive' for us!! And Lynne too!
