My commitment to losing weight and keeping the pounds off

[*sarahlou87*]

Thanks Hun. I'm dubious that the slow cooker will actually work. It is smelling good so hoping it's taste good and we both don't get poisoned ha!

Haha you won't be poisoned. But I was jubious too when I first got one. Now I couldn't live without!

I've just had a little taste test of my slow cooker dish and it is scrummy! Can't wait to tuck in later

I'm now going to be on the hunt for slow cooker recipes!

You little star! Thank you.

I'm glad to report I didn't poison us with the beef, it was amazing. The meat fell apart in my mouth. Definitely will be serving it again.

I've just had a swizzel drumstick lolly, I just wanted something sweet to get me through the afternoon. I think they are 2.5 syns. Does anyone know?

 

[amzee26]

With my dinner tonight I had a fried egg fried in frylight.

I am wanting to eat another chocolate bar but I think once I start I won't be able to stop. I'm going to brush my teeth after my frozen yogurt and no more food will pass my lips!

Popping over to subscribe. Drumsticks come in two sizes - 11g is 2.5 and 18g is 3.5 if you know which one you had?

ooh I'm not sure on the weight, it was from a packet of sweets if that helps.

 

[snowbryneich]

I imagine the small ones come in packs and the big ones are those ones you buy on their own from the pick and mix type section.

 

[amzee26]

Thank you Hun. You're a star

Going to the gym after work so cannot wait to make dinner

 

[amzee26]

On top of my popcorn earlier, I also had half a chomp bar (3 syns) and a meringue (2.5 syns) bringing the total number of syns today is 11. I feel I want to eat more but I'm getting in bed with a frozen muller light and reading my book.

 

[amzee26]

I've just had a daim bar (7.5 syns) and a lovely hot cup of apple and blueberry tea. Taking today's total to 18.5 syns. I feel really naughty going over 10 syns let alone going over 15 but I'll curb back my syns the next few days!
