I wish you all the luck in the world for this. I think you are very brave.

Menu as ever looks fab and you have really got into this water lark. Wish I could focus at present but I think I'm just playing as SW just now. Can you give me a please.

Update of food diary: Add 2 low fat yoghurts (3 syns) as dinner has had to be postponed. Still 14 syns tho. And I've had an extremely productive day. Only got to sit down for 1/2 hour all day, went for my walk, and am shattered.

I'm worn out just thinking about it.

Glad you've had a good day. Excellent tactic when dinner has been postponed.

Feeling positive today. House is clean and tidy (that never happens!!), been out for a 25 min walk, and was shattered afterwards, so at least I know I was going fast enough! soon off to meet my kids off their school bus, then off to Edinburgh to go to B&Q to get more decorating stuff, then Asda. Going to be stripping wallpaper tomorrow, so I think I'll have to count that as my exercise!

Yep I think stripping (of any variety ) defo counts as body magic.

You sound so motivated it's lovely to see.

Hope you have a great w/end

WI this morning, only to find I had STS :argh: Doesn't make sense to me. Either: the scales will make up for it next week, just being a bit delayed, or I need new scales. (The latter sounds like a good idea. Would be nice to have digital rather than relying on a needle, but will have to wait til I have more money

So far today I have had:

museli (HEx B) with milk (from HEx A) topped with apple & banana (superfree) , and 1 pint no added sugar squash

can't plan rest of day yet, as not home at lunchtime.

Oh, and I made myself a SW plate. Just bought a cheap white dinner plate, and some ceramic pens and split it into 2 sections - 1/3 superfree & 2/3 free. Hopefully that will help if portion control is the problem

Found you luvvie!!
How much weight have you got to lose ? Your menus look fabulous ,and you are so good drinking fluids!! I defo found that I had to reduce my portions when I reached a plateau - either that or up the exercise . Saying that, I am not doing brilliantly myself, so need to concentrate on being good!!

Hey hun, food looks amazing and loving your energy and resolve.
I too gave up food for lent, no crisps or chocolate cos I rarely if ever eat them, but for me it's cheese, so that's what I have given up not having it even in a few of the recipes that have it, will go without will help in the long run I know.
STS is good, but if you have been exercising and it's not the norm it's normal for your muscles to retain water for a while after you start exercising, just keep it up and your scales will soon show the great work you're doing.
Have a stupendous Monday hun, sweet dreams :zz: :hug99: xxxx

Hi there! I've got just over 11 stone to lose. Slightly more annoying thing is that I had a sneeky peek on the scales this morning and was 2lb down, but I can't count it cos it's not really WI day! :argh:

Good luck with giving up cheese. Not sure I could quite manage that 1 just yet! I haven't "exercised" in the conventional method this weekend, but I have been up and down ladders, squatting to reach the floor, and using a fair bit of elbow grease to decorate. Hopefully next week my efforts will show. Also had my OH have a word with my mum-in-law about getting in some SW friendly food, to make my weekends a lot easier, so she is going to do that for me. At least then I won't feel all my hard weeks work is being sabotaged at the weekend!

My teeth are watering at your menu as usual.

Try not to let the STS get you down. Tough to do I know. But your fight on attitude is great and you've done well to identify and remedy the possible sabotage source and it sounds as though MIL will be willing and able to help.

Hope you've had a good day.
