Yes that Friday evening feeling is great isn't it - just had a thought about hunger - in one of my failed attempts to lose the flab I decided to record how much I ate & how hungry I was feeling - over a couple of months I cd see a fortnightly pattern - of eating lots and 'picking' - yet feeling hungry then 2 weeks of eating less and feeling fuller - I put it down to hormones but who knows??!! I think most of us turn to food for comfort when we're bored too!

Hello. I had 2 rice cakes for supper too. I think you are right, bread is my thing. I think I might have eaten too little before my walk and swim yesterday. Id only had my toast and didnt eat lunch until after swim and getting home at 3.30. I was feeling very shakey and not at all well then. How is the salad challenge going Upndown? You are good taking on these challenges.
Just remembered I didn't respond on the challenges - I think I do them to ring the changes - I've been dieting on and off all my adult life (apart from 3 pregnancies!!) so I get bored cos I've done it all before (unsuccessfully!)
The challenges aren't that much tougher than SW red, green or EE days and they're only for a week - and I'm not 100% successful either!! But they've def helped me keep on track & I'm grateful to Kay for all her idea and sorting it all out!!

Just checked out your stats, wow you are doing well! Keep it up! I know I think that's what stopped my off the rails marathon, I was feeling fatter and know how nice is it to feel slim, I didn't want to go back to that.
Snoopy is is all better now

Ive only been a serial dieter since I gave up smoking about 8 years ago. After that I got the appetite of a horse and I also ate for comfort. I do best when I make home made soup and have that each day.
Yes having a pan of soup is a great idea - comforting warm and fills u up and mostly FREE!!

Hello All. Ive done my swimming today with the equivalent to 40 lengths and then a 30 walk. Cj you sound as tough you are having a lovely day and a rest is a good idea with all you have planned for next weekend. We are going away in the motorhome next weekend so I am having 4 days off plan.

Evening! A quiet day on the minimins front, you must all be having a busy Saturday
so good update breakfast and lunch above.
Snack - 0% mango yogurt
Tea - omlette, ham and cheese (5syns), salad leaves, spinach, beet root, cucumber
feeling full but might have some ice cream for pudding later (7syns)
Well the sun came out a little bit, so I ventured into the front garden and filled a garden bin bag with weeds! Lots more to do, but it's a work in progress I think a little each weekend will get it sorted soon enough.

Thx Mo - don't think I cd have done it today - I seem to be hungry all the time - but managed to stay on plan but I've eaten more than usual today.
I keep meaning to post this concoction that I make to satisfy my sweet tooth - others might like it too.
I mix a toffee mullerlight with sweetened quark or fat free fromage frais or ff greek yogurt then add a capful of almond essence, a capful of vanilla essence & stir - then crumble a meringue into it (2.5 syns) then add fruit - my favourite is banana with a HEB of nuts - I had tangerine and pineapple today Mmmmmm - it's making me want another now - may have one as I've got lots of syns left!!

Yes I'm surprised myself - but I've had a few wobbles lately - nothing too bad but concerned I might starting messing about and gaining - I can't bear that thought - I was 14st 2 at my heaviest and it was so easy to get there but so hard to get to where I am now. I think I need a bit of extra support to get to target.
I've heard a few ppl say that's it's harder to maintain than lose - so I think I might do better at club with that stage too. I don't have that much to lose now - so it won't be cost much IF I get to target and stay within 3lbs!!
