MrsAh's food diary

[Taz]

I just looked back through and it seems like you are not having enough Syns. It sounds mad but I said this to Sandra a couple of weeks ago, some people just can't do very low calorie. My body will argue with me if I don't feed it enough and if I go too low on Syns for a whole week I will actually put on! Try including more Syns and aim for a minimum of 10 per day or 70 per week

That does sound a bit mad, I thought that the less I had the better really! I have been eating loads of food - ie baked beans, pasta etc but may try it this week and see how it goes having more sins. Thank you.

No prob, it can be hard to grasp but I find it works for me and Sandra found the same. It doesn't necessarily work for everyone but it won't hurt to give it a try

What seasoning do you use on your wedges?

 

[MrsAH]

What seasoning do you use on your wedges?

It's called Schwartz 'Season-All'. It's really nice but you only need a really light sprinkling as it's quite salty

 

[Taz]

Thanks I will look out for that. I love my wedges!

 

[MrsAH]

Thanks I will look out for that. I love my wedges!

Me too! I much prefer them to the chips, more tasty!!

 

[MrsAH]

Stayed the same again!

I'm really quite fed up now, I have stayed the same this week and I really don't understand it. I have been sticking to it really well. I did have a flexi evening on Fri where I had a Dominoes take away as I was dissapointed I couldn't go out to the Hen night I was meant to go for. But other than that have stuck to it 100% and written everything down.

I have done the plan about 3 times before and have lost at least 1 or 2 pounds a week and I don't think I've ever stuck to it as well as now before!!!
