I feel as though I have eaten tons of food today, and even though I am not hungry I have grazed all day, not quite sure why unless there's a bit of emotional eating going on, boredom and frustration.....

How's everyone else's weekend gone?

Syns

Not too sure yet, may have half a Baby Ruth Bar which will be 7 syns (whole 1 is 14 syns which is a lot!)

Baby Ruth = a choccy bar I love having discovered it when I was in LA.
My bro lives in LA and having just come over for the wedding he kindly bought me a huge box!!!!!

I have calculated them at 14 syns but would be helpful if someone could double check I have calculated it correctly!

Here is the details:

Calories = 280
Sat Fat = 8g
Trans Fat = 0g
Cholestorol = 0g
Sodium = 130mg
Carb= 39g
Fibre = 1g
Sugar = 33g
Protein = 4g

Bar weighs 60g inc wrapper

I work the whole bar out as being 14 syns, can anyone say whether this is correct?

TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A GREEN DAY YIPPPEEEE!!! OHHH cous cous I have missed you! Big fat bowl after WI YUMM​

 

[Sukibix]

On the SW website - syns calculator, when it asks for "FAT" does it mean the sat fat value or the general fat value?

B - Grapes & Apple with mullerlight

S - Fibre Plus Bar *

L - Mugshot sweet n sour, mullerlight, fruit salad - kiwi, mango, banana, apple and grapes, Fibre Plus Bar*

What do you mean by a flake multipack? A whole multipack of flakes?!?!or just one from a multipack???

LOL

 

[Louise24]

Hi Suki, how you doing? Hope you had fun at wedding and WI was ok, well done on last weeks loss too. x

LOL

Just 1 from a multipack!
I'm not that much of a glutton that i'd eat all 5. I say multipack as it's less syns than a shelf bought bar!

 

[Sukibix]

Hi Suki, how you doing? Hope you had fun at wedding and WI was ok, well done on last weeks loss too. x

= last night's WI
I PUT ON 5LB!!!!!!
Ok, step back - I had bad food day at the wedding, then it was my birthday the day after so we ate out all day, drank loads too. I thought that being good for the remaining 5 days would at least give me a STS !
BUT I also got my * week starting today, and am mega swollen this last week. Not sure why as still wearing my control binder to keep the swelling under control.
I'm hoping that I can at least get most of it off for next week = as long as it is * week and swelling!

I had green yesterday and have had green again today to try to shake it up a bit. I may even go extra easy tomorrow as Saturday's are normally my downfall.

Hubby STS and he was gutted, I keep telling him now to SHUT UP as it's better than putting 5 lb on:cry:I have never ever put anywhere near that much on in one week before, on 2.5 years of losing/maintaining. The most I have ever put on was 2.5lbs last May after a massive birthday party I had!

Oh well, onwards to next week.:wave_cry:

 

[Louise24]

Hiya lovely - blooming men hey, to be fair though, I'm sure you ate similar to your husband, therefore your gain is more that likely to be fluid retention etc.

Just had a quick look at your food diary, only tiny thing I can think of is the fibre plus bars, try using your healthy extra's on different things this week and at different meal times too. I know fibre plus bars are gorgeous and a B extra, but somebody mentioned how they were packed full of sugar too. Try just having a couple a week.

Draw a line under last week and you'll be right as rain next week

 

[Kater-tater]

damn, i thought i was in luck! I could easily eat 5 flakes, you lightweight!!!!!!

Yep your prob right their Lou, I did think the Bars may be a part of the problem! They are too delish to be good. I will stick to the Alpen Bars as at least I can restrict myself on them!

The only other thing is fruit. I have eaten TONS, and I mean tons of fruit. Partly because if I don't I have erm. issues, bit bunged up shall we say, which is part of the surgery side effects apparently.

Think I will watch my portiono sizes this week even tho I have only "pigged out" on fruit! sooo unfair! I am now heavier than when I started.

.... I would be happy to try eating a packet of Flakes! hmmmm Flakes

I was trawling the internet earlier, and did a google search, for SW humous (which I have made to nibble on later - but have forgotten to add to menu) and whilst trawling, I found this complete recipe book for SW!

It's from 2000 but fundamentally the recipes, which appear to be original/red, should be the same...check it out:-

http://www.spanglefish.com/stewartfryer/documents/Slimming World Recipes/Slimming World Recipes.pdf

I do not however, take any responsibility for the syn values so make sure if you do use any that you check the values!

Just thought I'd share as it seems a great find.

Hi Suki, well done on your 2lb loss this week. Your menus look fab, infact I'm going to copy some of your meals. Have a lovely weekend.
