Sunny Slimmers in Spain Weigh In
- Thread starter toliveordiet?
- Start date
Hi everyone on mainland - well thought I had done great this week - weighed myself yesterday (day before official weigh in day and had lost 900 g since last week - really good for me! Had great day yesterday, 2 weetabix and milk allowance for healthy extras, mercado lovely yoghurt mid morning, egg salad for lunch, Activia yog mid afternoon, Synned, and then very little roast lean lamb and jacket potatoe with a g and t!!!
Weighed in this morning and weighed 79 kilos so a loss of 200 grams (I think a mars bars weighs more!!!!) very disappointed as have been following everything to a T!! Only thing I can think it could be - had to go to dr yesterday as have hurt my knee and he gave me anti inflammatory tablets to take - do these make you retain water does anyone know!!!
my diet has been more or less the same every day, weetabix, and milk as HE with banana for breakfast, mercado a 0% yog mid morning, egg or ham salad for lunch a bit of salad cream added into my syns, Activia yoghurt, Synned, then either grillled salmon or grilled chicken salad in evening, sometimes with a plain boiled potatoe, sometimes not , usually have a glass of wine or g and low cal t as well.
Am I eating enough? I know once at we they told me to make sure you eat all your points etc, what can I cut out? What can I do different? I might not be drinking enough water but definitely do 1 litre a day, apart from the anti inflammatory can't think what else could have made me out on 800 g in one day!!!!
so official loss this week is 200 g 79 kilos
Look forward to your comments

Evening chicas.
I'm heading back to Blighty tommorrow and won't be back in Spain until 8th May.
I'll have my netbook and the dongle but as mobile signals are pretty dodgy where MIL lives and most of the other places we'll be visiting too I won't get on very often.
Have a great 11 days without me and good luck everyone.
Re Scales- Mine are electronic ones too - Tesco own label!!! Great for Ryanair luggage which is what they'll be used for tomorrow morning (and for an early WI for next week).

WI before I left home showed a massive 100g loss - i.e. about ¼ lb!
Week 4 stats seem to be missing from Gails last post . . .
So my stats for April are . . .
Week 1 STS / Week 2 - holiday / Week 3 -1.5lbs / Week 4 1¾ lbs GAIN / Week 5 -¼ lb
NET FOR MONTH - STS
Relatively happy with that seeing as I am supposed to be maintaining.
Although seems to be at 3 lbs over target. Grrrrrr

Morning my Spanish friends
I faced the scales on Tuesday when I got home and . . . I've gained 1.6 kgs whilst we were in the UK.
That's 3½ lbs which puts me way over target and back over 12 st which I said I would never do again!
:cry:
I know some of it will be water retention from yesterdays flight but the rest is just far too many carbs and full fat stuff.
Back to lots of red days to shift it methinks.
Well done to losers amd commiserations to gainers - and good luck everyone else if you are still to WI.

Morning peeps
Is there anyone else around on here now?
0.6 kg off for me (roughy 1.3 lbs) leaving me 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs) over target.
I really wanted to shift all the gain of last week - or at least enough to get back under 12 st - but a curry night put paid to that!
Loads of rice and a naan too but basically I just ate too much - and not just at the curry night.
I've been starving all weekend and raiding the cereal bars.
Slinks off to sulk.

Hi cat yoyo greaves - I'm sure you'll find a Mercadona supermarket in Teneriffe. They do lots of own label (Hacendado) 0% fat yoghurts that class as syn free. Ordinary ones, ones with bifidus (like Activia) plus ones called la Pasteleria which are 0% fat - and are 1/2 syn each. Very nice they are too.
You can get Activia in Mercadona but they are expensive - twice the price of Hacendado ones
Meats - just try to stay clear of Jamon Serano and Chorizo - they are both high in fat. You can get ordinary ham etc in Mercadona.
Have a look through this thread as well - there's more info on here.

If you are anywhere near Los Cristianos or Playa de las Américas then you wil find Iceland stores in both of these places if you want to be safe.
Have a great holiday
