I don't think there will be a loss this week, it's my star week which I never get any loss so I will be happy with 1lb but thinking more of a maintain :/

 

[Lisa84]

Fingers crossed for weigh in tonight... i'm sure if you get a small loss it will fly off next week x

 

[Sazmajig]

Tesco does a lovely bottle of lambrusco that I love for a low syn drink - it's great for those nights when you don't want to feel deprived and like you can't have anything but it's also only 4% alcohol so not too much of a blow out. It's only 16 syns for the whole bottle

Thank you, Im just not sure it would be as good as the 'real' thing! haha

Im not an alcoholic I promise...

 

[Sazmajig]

It was a small loss - 1/2lb was a little disappointed but I know that on * week I usually maintain or put on so at least this is going in the right direction. Im going to be good all week and just hope for a good loss next week.

It's s friends birthday on friday and we are supposed to be having an indian at his but I think I'm going to skip it and opt for a night in (otherwise alcohol will be consumed and bad food!) I really want to lose 4 next week if I can as that would mean club 10 & 1.5stone award.


Also, I want to start going to the gym but people are worrying me saying that they don't lose as well when they bump up the exercise due to water retention? Anyone have any thoughts?

 

[Sazmajig]

Hey guys,

a little disappointed with weigh in this week, only 1 lb off. I thought I had been pretty good so I was a bit deflated - I am going to try even harder this week as I really do want a big loss before the month is out. I think I can do it.

Food for yesterday -

B - overnight oats (HeB) with grapes, raspberries and cherries
L - 2 x mug shot, pear and apple
D - chicken and bacon pasta

syns - 3 for dinner (sauce used)
6 for a couple of biscuits

total 9/15
weekly 9/105


Today

B - overnight oats (HeB) with nectarines, pears and grapes
L - chicken and bacon pasta leftovers
D - not too sure, maybe bolognese or jacket potato will see how I feel later. I have my 84 year old grandmother over so will go with what she prefers.

Syns
2 for sauce
and the rest is yet to be determined!!

total 2/15
weekly total 11/105

Thanks lovely,

I can't really feel pleased about it but its motivating me to do better next week. Two days of porridge oats for breakfast means I'm not snacking in-between meals (although it was good stuff I like that Im not having a snack at all)

 

[Sazmajig]

Today has been a good day, the oats really do fill me up! Plus I kept busy today (food shopping) so I didn't have time to snack or eat much!

B - overnight oats (HeB) with toffee mullerlight, nectarine and grapes.
D - homemade burger (with garlic, chilli and paprika) with chips beans and egg.

Syns
0/15

Weekly total 12.5/105

I don't think I'm drinking enough water during the day, so this evening I've had so much squash that I physically feel sick. I have a bad headache as I was too dehydrated, silly me! Now chilling watching the footie with a sleeping pup on my lap. Might fall asleep on the sofa!!

 

[Sazmajig]

Overall not too bad, as the meringues felt really indulgent! I also spent the afternoon walking the dog and playing hockey with my little brother

 

[Sazmajig]

Today I'm feeling really deflated

Weighed myself and have lost a measly 2 lbs. Im so annoyed as I really have stuck to the plan properly for 2 weeks and only seen a 3 lb loss What else can I do? I feel really annoyed today and could so easily self sabotage!

Todays eats

B - overnight oats with raspberries and strawbs
L - salad and ham with a mugshot
Snack - banana
D - Spag bol (syn free)

syns
meringue (5)
pretels (4)

9/15
weekly total 52.5/105

I don't think I will have any syns tonight, the dinner should fill me up enough to not want anything naughty - plus I don't usually sun one day before weigh in. Overnight oats again for break tomorrow and a light lunch then fingers crossed the OH will cook a nice low syn dinner to come home to after group.

Maybe you need to up your superfree foods. Also, oil is no longer a healthy extra.

Otherwise your food diary looks pretty good, just need to stick at it. I am only on my third week and so far have lost 4lb which I find a bit de-motivating too. But a loss is a loss as they say and well done for that.
