Shrinking Shrimpy...

[Shrimpy]

As i get closer to target my weight loss seems to have slowed, I'm still 18lbs away so I'm not REALLY close, but I think maybe if I post on here and anyone can see what I need to do to up the losses I would be really grateful!

Yesterday-
Breakfast- I had a danone activia ff & apple & banana
Snack- plum and strawberries
Lunch- Morrocan veg stew (containing tomatoes, courgette, peppers, carrots herbs and spices) with brown rice
Snack- Apple & plum & a clementine
Dinner- 2.5 Joes sausages, egg, potatoes, baked beans, mushrooms
HexA-was milk used in coffee
Hex B- Mint Hi fi bar

1 Pink & White--- 2.5
1 2 finger kit kat--- 5.5
Total - 8.0 syns

I think that was ok.....

Looks ok Hun. How much milk did you have? Did you measure it? You really need to measure and weigh your Healthy Extras to make sure that you're not "guesstimating" and going over on your syns.
My wedding anniversary is the 22nd October too!

NEVER STEP ON SCALES - who am I kidding I do every week lol!

How many days to WI, I wouldn't worry, weight fluctuates during the day, you may need the loo? have eaten a meal? drunk a pint of fluid? who knows, your scales are different to SW ones, I know mine are much kinder, they weigh me every week 8lbs lighter!

[Shrimpy]

Weigh in is on wednesday night... I hope *fingers crossed* to have lost the gain I had due to Frightfest!

Have you planned everything? What time is your WI? I'm excited for you,keepme updated on your great losses!

 

[donnajt]

Hi shrimpy - i lost 3lbs and got my 2stone sticker! Frightnight sounds well fright night - i can't imagine how you sat for so long. Good luck for weds, try and eat lots of speed superfree between now and then, and plenty of fluid, that 1.5lb will fall off this week, donna x

 

[Shrimpy]

86alpzzyj- I love porridge!!! It's an amazing breakfast! I don't actually plan, I just buy a tonne of free and superfree stuff and then go wild in the kitchen. I find that if I plan I get antsy and don't want to eat the "diet food", whereas if it's something randomly created that day from "diet food" I love it! Weird, huh?! You won't need fingers crossed you'll do fab!

Woah! Well done Donnajt! I have no idea how I sat through all that, I did have a square butt at the end, oh an square eyes to match, lol! I had a great time though, despite the 15minute breaks in Leicester Square and the nearest semi-ok food being at piccadilly's boots! But i packed a ton of fruit and survived! I am eating lots of berries and pineapple. I ever braved melon today :jelous: So hopefully on wed I'll lose that silly little blip on my almost clean record!

 

[Shrimpy]

[Shrimpy]

My husband makes me dinner when it's his turn!

Hijack away, lol! SW quiche is awesome, great fun to play with the different "fillings". I enjoy smoked bacon, mushroom and broccoli! Breakfast seems to be going well, but today I fell off the wagon to have a fry-up SW style, but sat mornings are not complete without one. LOL.
