Your food is looking fab, think I might steal some of your meal plans haha.
Hommous is also really nice if you stir in a roasted sweet potato, just throw it in the oven with its skin on cook until its soft. Take it out, cut it in half, scoop out the insides and whizz it up with the rest of the ingredients. I suppose you could try it with roasted peppers or garlic too, but Ive not been that adventerous yet.x.x.

Sooooo I have somehow GAINED half a pound?? really can't believe it I have stuck to plan all week ...so naturally I came home from group tonight and scoffed a chinese.
I did get the healthier option (Beef Black Bean) but I am so dissapointed.
I was so good all week because im going away this weekend and knew I might not have such a great weigh in next Tuesday, feel so deflated

Oh no Im so sad to hear you had a gain
It can be so disheartening, especially when you have such a good week with food. Going through all the things I usually check- have you had enough water? Have you had any cheeky snacks (not accusing but I sometimes ahem forget to syn things) Have you started any new exercise or have any stress or anything else that could be affecting you? Any medication? Have you been *ahem* regular with the toilet fairy (Yeah I know, gross, but everybody does it haha) Have you eaten ENOUGH? I know a few people in our group have struggled any we've identified that they haven't been having enough, Maybe up the SF/SS foods? Or one I find that gets me nearly every week- have you psyched yourself out? I sometimes get myself so worked up about WI that it totally throws me off dont go to the loo and then its gains central. Or maybe you have lost inches instead of lbs?
So hope you can identify something.x.x.x.

Yeh I have been thinking about all of those things and theres honestly nothing I can think of that may be to blame, I haven't had any snacks that have not been written down, I drink water all day and everything is pretty regular lol... I guess its just one of those things, im defo going to up my Superfree foods this week and see what happens there.
I wasn't even nervous tonight for wi, infact I was feeling pretty confident which has just made me feel even worse! x

Our weight fluctuates daily, so hopefully it was just 'one of those days' and you might see a loss next week. I would definitely try upping the SF and try the superspeeds too. Maybe make a 'speed' soup?
At least you have been enjoying the food and making some awesome choices rather than torturing yourself with a faddy diet. The plan does work, our bodies just don't always like to play the same game.x.x.

What a shame about the gain, I bet this morning you would be two pounds lighter! I hate evening weigh-ins because tend to hold water a bit (I think it's to do with carbohydrate) certainly do not loose heart! You will get to where you want to be C x

I've just skimmed back through your diary and while your food is awesome you dont use many of your syns. You could try upping them, your body still needs the 'naughty food' Its amazing how many people in our group have had more (but within limit) and seen a positive difference.x.x.
