Change of plan for dinner as OH wants pancakes as he will be late at work tomorrow. I did promise him none slimming world for pancake day on the basis it would be after weigh in and my normal recipe ones are 8 syns per person (for the flour) I am thinking of doing oat cakes using milk from HEA, my remaining HEB of oats and this would take it down to 4 syns for flour bacon is free on red and then I have up to 11 syns for syrup. Will do some strawberries too for speed.

I am thinking about having pancakes again without OH haha.

The wifi enabled scales just send my weight to the study (which I can log in and look at so even on days when I try not to look at the scales I am on the website on my phone five minutes later.) The study is one Public Health England is running with Newcastle University - I just signed up for it, there are details here https://research.ncl.ac.uk/nulevel/whatisnulevel/ (but I am studying an OU degree but thats in classical studies so nothing to do with weight loss)

Good luck xxx

 

[snowbryneich]

Thanks hun. I think if I get a STS I will be lucky based on what my scales say!

A maintain doesn't seem fair when you've been on plan :-( x

aww thanks hun. i am okay with a STS I know I have been on plan so I have not gone wrong and at least it's not my last few weigh ins count come to 12.5lb off (even if 8.5 of that was steroid gain I was getting off) so it might just be a plateua or the exercise and eventually it will shift I just really don't want it to be a gain!

 

[snowbryneich]

1lb on. Sigh esp as next week is the week before star week when I normally gain

 

[Poppet12]

Gutted for you :-( even when you've been off plan a gain is tough to take so when its thoroughly undeserved it must be much worse!
Hope SP gives you a boost & that it all evens out soon x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh sorry hun - but it might just be a bit of water weight, it's only the tiniest of gains.

i bet it whooshies away and more next WI xxx

 

[freakydarkstuff]

Sorry to hear about the gain Snow But you will shift that and more next week!!

Pancakes sound yum! Ive just skipped them this year to avoid over-indulgence!!

 

[MelonCollie]

Sorry to hear about your gain maybe you're getting next week's water retaining this week? Xx

 

[snowbryneich]

Thanks all. It hit me harder than I was expecting even though I thought at best I'd get a STS. It annoys me that I seem to hit a speed bump every few weeks especially when I have so much to lose. I can live with it when life has taken me off plan as at least I know why but i didn't go off plan last week and I really upped my activity! Just got to get on with it though.

I ended up having a red/sp day yesterday as I didn't have pasta bake and had only had speed foods before tea. I did pancakes (12 syns) and bacon and strawberries again

L: Beef roast dinner, 5 syns for gravy

Snacks
Apple
Drinks
2 x jug of cherry cinnamon green tea (8 cups)

Your muscles may be a bit sore from the extra activity and retaining water to heal. Many people retain water for 2-3 weeks after starting exercise until their body gets used to it. Don't worry too much, you're amazing! xx

 

[snowbryneich]

Thanks MC. I know it will be something like that but it's still really annoying and more annoyingly last night I went completely off plan and had a large dominos and basically set myself up for a gain next week Really annoyed with myself

EE
B: nothing as in meetings
L: crab stick sandwich (HEB), sprite zero, pop chips, apple, melon
D: Pasta of some sort with HEA

Snacks
Strawberries

Drinks
Sprite zero
water

[broadsbean]

sometimes a night off plan works in your favour almost as if it kick starts your metabolism, the gain will vanish this week i am sure x.
