Today:
B: wmeal toast (1 heb + 1 syn for marg) + 2 boiled eggs. Banana. Coffee ( part hea)
L: left over veg chilli with rice + banana.
D: meant to be having a lovely valentines dinner at home but I might have to work late so will see how it goes but hopefully dinner will be sirloin steak with veg and mash ( 2) and a glass of red (8.5). Tim got us these little raspberry white choc desserts from tesco which I think we're 190 kcal each so will say 10 syns for that.
21.5 in total

Friday 17th February
I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps today, about nothing other than my weight really. I just don't feel this weight coming back off and I know it's really down to the fact that I'm not exercising. I had a look through some of my diary from last year, before I hit target, and it's really the only difference. That and I threw in the odd red day then. Which I can do again. I just think I like my portion sizes too much and don't eat enough sf on ee. Which is why I have always done green but I have found myself eating more meat lately. I'm torn about the gym because my knee has started playing up again and the last thing I want is another occurrence of last year when I was in agony and couldn't do any exercise for like 2 months.
I haven't quite, but have almost sabotaged my day with biscuits and chocolate at work. :-(
Anyway, that's my rant over. I'm going to try to enjoy some nice food and wine over the weekend and not feel guilty. I have a couple of sw friendly recipes to try this weekend. With any luck that will keep me on track until Monday.

Ah, Gem, sorry your not feeling too great!!! I know the feeling :-( Its so hard when your used to having a certain portion size, I know I struggle to have smaller portions. That's a really good idea to look back over your diary, maybe throw in a couple of red days next week if the scales haven't changed just to mix it up a bit. I really really wouldn't put yourself at harm by exercising if your knee is playing up. Do you swim? Maybe do some things that will put less pressure on your knee? Take a long walk?? Or is it too cold back home still, I'm away?? But mostly, I know it's difficult, but try not to worry too much, youve done the diet, you know it works, trying out new recipes should help too.
Have a lovely weekend, and remember, your a newlywed, just married to a lovely man, enjoy it, don't feel down xxx

Thanks! That really cheered me up when I read it! You are totally right, i should be enjoying my new married life but instead im focusing on this 6 lbs! I think im just worried about it getting out of control.
Well I haven't really been doing too well over the weekend so I'm not updating. Have had a nice time though, i had scones for the first time in AGES yesterday! Nom nom! I will try today to get back into it. Not sure I will weight in tomorrow either. Might go back to Fridays
I noticed on your diary you have had a rough trip. You know it will come off in a week or two. Hope you enjoyed your cocktails. Xxx

L: mug shot, grapes, pear
D: supernoodle omelette, sw chips, beans. Ketchup (1 syn)

Weight in this morning and it's a STS again. I wasn't expecting miracles as I had so many treats last weekend it was only a 5 day go at it. I can't say this is helping my motivation though.
