I wake up so hungry. Lol. So here is my Day 2
Breakfask

Have a great sunday everyone

Hi Helen, never heard about JUDDD. What is it? Need to search now. There is huge amount of diets. How much more Ellis wants to lose ? What ever you choose I hope Ellis can keep it up, not easy to do at school.
And well done on your 55 day on diet, wonderful woman you are. Plus big congratulations on your wedding anniversary Thats an achivment. Hugs

Food looks fab as always. Is it me or are your portion sizes getting bigger lol. Or else you are using a smaller plate either way, looking good...
skype is great for keeping in touch. It removes the distance, and can really lift your spirit too . How often do you go home? xxx

Helen you are right. My food portion are bigger while Im on SE - reason is that I dont get full from salad only and to have more "free food" I need to get more salad and fruit in too giggle but loving it.

And you know why ? Ok, you got it out of me I hit 18 st mark today

Loads of love to all and Rita you are a star and so is Helen. Two ladies to be reckoned with!! Am having a hectic weekend (to say the least) and have come on here for my fix and check out all that's going on! A bit of light relief. I cannot believe that middle aged kids can be so exhausting!! Must say have eaten very little as it is all stressful!
Hugs all round. Bev x

18stone woo hoo!!! Can't believe how much you've lost already.

I've had manic weekend too. The Man situation P*ssing me off. Had two Indian take always in 3 days but I had tikka (not masala) no rice, no bread but I did have onion bajjis :-( Oh dear. But had a few great days. MFP (my new best friend!) says I should lose a measly pound this week. Serves me right. Going for 3 pounds next week weds!!

Hello and thank you all. Proud to say that I was 18st 11 today Im so happy , SE is very good booster indeed.

Bev - I bet you had good time with family over long weekend. Im close to my mom and sister, but only if we are not in contact too often. Then we start fighting - I think we all have too big egos

Cat - I know how it is, when Im happy , its so easy to stay on diet at when Im mad I can eat a lot. You doing great, keep going MFP - my fitness pal ? Keep hearing about it but never look closer at it.

Helen - thank you love being at 18 st and how much I can eat.

Thank you all- all of you are part of my journey and the ones how only read my diary are part of this story.
Taking photos of what I eat and sharing with you had made me to make better choices and want to be happy with myself. By having you here gives an huge amount of choicepower and Im glad you keep coming

Now as for food , I did mistake today. Its ok but still …

Day 4
Breakfast.
Salad and eggs with mayo and coffee
Total 3 syn


Lunch

Salad and beef grillsteak with mustard. Now heres the mistakes. I asumed that its steak but it was mince and this one steak that was amazing costs 20,5 syns. Add mustard 1 syn total 21,5 and 3 from morning 24,5 oh well - And then I had 2 candis - 4 syns.
All together 28,5 syns. Giggle - almost full amount for 2 days. It will be ok. I will have free food only today and tomorrow. But there is a lesson me to learn. Look up syns before you eat it.
Here is the bad boy photo too


Sorry already had few bites of it

Have a nice day everyone. Keep smiling

yes My Fitness Pal - probably not really relevant for SW folks - but very handy for calorie counting. You scan in your food or add manually, add in your exercise and put in your weight loss goals and it kind of tells you how much to eat! And if you have a fitbit it can sync to the MFP to log your exercise and include that for your calories. I just like it as i don't forget what I've eaten!

It's also become blatantly obvious that I am deficient in some nutrients which I need to look at. It will be much easier for me to get everything I need when I'm maintaining. It's very hard when you are sticking to an average of 1000 cals a day to get everything you need.

That grillsteak looks delish!!!!

 

[hez]

Food looks scrumptious, i wish i was eating it , you could be my own personal chef you wouldnt think mince would be so many syns!! Bet it tasted delicious though.... And another lesson learned and more importantly SHARED. It might make someone else not make the same mistake. Glad your well into the 18's, the 17's wont be that long away xx

 

[Blondcat]

helen - when do you weigh in ? You're practically in the 16s!!!!

 

[hez]

I weigh in on tuesdays. But i hop on my scales every morning (im ashamed to say)

 

[solange]

Thrilling weight losses going on!! So chuffed for you and just wish my dearest friend I ever had could have done the same. She just went from around 18st to over 22 1/2st. I tried so hard to help but she couldn't or wouldn't stop eating and it wrecked her health. So I admit it's why I am so thrilled to be part of this. Thanks for having me here!! :grouphugg:Hugs.

 

[hez]

Bev, what happened your friend? xx

 

[Destamia]

Thank you girl , and now moment of truth - Im doing good this week if to leave yesterdays beefsteak out.…
And about 10 candy's I had when I got home …

Yesterday was day of mistakes - I made mistake at work and it upsets me so much. I rarely mistaking at work but yesterday was just - one big mistake after another. I feel quitly that I ruined the ladys dinner and she must be very upset
And the fact that I was not 100% my fault wont make me feel better.
It was nothing too bad- just she ordered tart and servent told me it goes with starters. But then retured it to kitchen as it supose to go with mains, she changed her mind. Later when it went out she send tart back as it was too cold.
I put new in owen but s-chef rushed me and demanded me to pit tart out before the time was over. And I did - I knew that I should not but he was pushing me and I give in. Lady sent tart back again as it was hot on top and cold in middle - ofc it was I ruined her night and feel quilty.

Because of that I did not bave dicent dinner, I only got sw and no salad as I should have. And when I got home I just keep eating candys until pack was empty. Thank god it empty now and I cant have candy anymore.

Leaving all this behind me now- new day and new start. Wont let to rush me again when I know whats right and whats wrong and wont trust myself with pack of candys

Scale were nice to me 18st 11 so 3 more days to my Sw meeting to see what scale say there.

As for food
Day 5

Lunch ( slept late today- needed rest )
Salmon with veggies and cottage cheese. Coffee 1 syn


On my way to work now. One more day then I can rest a little

Bev - Im wondering too what happened to your friend.

Cat - how can you copy with 1000 cal a day ? I dont think thats a lot of food. I need to find your diary to see how you find the choise power to do what you do. I think I need to learn form you

Helen - Im sure you will have lots of nice dinners and lunches ahead. Just little more to go

Hugs to everyone
