I agree with you on the calorie counting.I've alway's thought we can over do it on the free foods(ie. pasta & potatoes).With me being so short I try limit this.I try having half my plate superfree.

Morning Stevie,
Yay for the scales showing a lower weight, that's fab! You've had such a good week (AGAIN!) Fingers and toes crossed for tomorrows WI!
Pizza topped chicken sounds delish! That's something else that I need to try
I've noticed though that your weekly syns are low, especially seen as though your week 'ends' tomorrow?

Thanks Emma. Had another great week on plan, and have thoroughly enjoyed what I've had to eat. But if the last two weeks are anything to go off, anything could happen! Fingers crossed there'll still be a loss there tomorrow. I really don't know what I'll do if not.
Pizza chicken is amazing!! There's a recipe on the website where they make a sauce with passata etc (I think - it was years ago I first tried it), but I just top mine with tomato puree. It's so much less of a faff! Warren loves it too - as you can tell - which is pretty unbelievable as he lives on freezer food. Birds eye crispy chicken, scampi, fish fingers, oven chips, naan breads, etc. Fair enough he'll have oven chips and probably a naan bread with his, but it makes me feel good knowing he's having at least one partly nutritious meal a week thanks to me lol!
Yes, have purposely kept my Syns low this week. I've been trying out loads of different techniques really to get the ball rolling again, I am just so desperate after that last two weeks' results. I have been aiming for 5 Syns on a weekday and up to 10 Syns on a weekend. Aiming for about 70 Syns in total for the week, rather than the full 105. The thing is, I've always had 105 a week since I first started. Baring in mind I'm now pretty much 4st lighter, naturally my body probably needs less. So I just thought it was time to bite the bullet and drop them a bit. The odd week I may still have 105, say if we are eating out or off to the cinema, etc. But on average I will aim for about 70.
Have a great day, Emma xx

Good luck for your weigh-in! Fingers crossed for you that your good weeks start to pay off!!
I think portion control is a key element of slimming world, as if you eat until you are stuffed and can't move, then thats possibly too much. I know sometimes I can't stop myself, but I think that portion control and eating until satisfied does play a big role.

Target? Bring it on!
I've never made pizza chicken - I'm not sure how or why because every time I read it in your diary, Stevie, I think mmm that sounds delish! We're out tonight but it's going on the list for later in the week - hopefully Dave will love it too because it certainly sounds like a boyfriend pleaser! xx

It's so nice!! And the good thing is you can top it with whatever you fancy! I'll have red pepper, red onion, jalapenos and mozzarella on mine. Whereas Woz will have chorizo (I tell him it's pepperoni because he's super fussy :giggle
green peppers (again, super fussy. Specifically only green lol!) and grated cheese. So yummy xx

Mmm I'm thinking of a version of a pollo ad astra pizza from Pizza Express which is chicken, red onion, peppadew peppers and cajun spices. xx

I had that when we went a few weeks ago, with added jalapenos. I guess mine is a bit like that, minus the cajun spices. Might see if we have any actually and add them tonight if so. Mmmm fab idea!! Love Pizza Express xx

I love it too - excited about lunch tomorrow! Random venue for us to have a department meeting but I'm not complaining as we get fed at the end! xx

Morning campers!! Happy Tuesday. Weigh day doesn't half sneak up on you, doesn't it? Really hoping for a decent loss tonight, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. Don't want to set myself up for the same disappointment I've had in the last fortnight.
Have decided not to have my usual takeaway "treat" after WI as well. But have got myself a nice steak and am going to have steak and chips, so that will feel like a nice treat. It's ages since I've had steak. As I've said, I'm trying to keep within my daily calories limit, and also trying to stay within about 70 Syns for the week. So will just use some on a nice bar of chocolate or something after my tea.
Anyway, will report back after WI and let you know how I get on! Have a great day everyone, and good luck to all of the other Tuesday weighers! xx

Good morning Stevie, food sounds delicious as always! Your way of thinking has changed so much, and I'm proud of you to sticking to what you set out to do Have you had a sneaky peak this morning?
Do you feel any better with sticking to daily syns / mixing your HExB's up?
Massive good luck for weigh in, I'll be stalking your IG & diary later on today :giggle: xx

Thanks ladies! Fingers crossed
I did have a sneaky peek this morning, and I think they were showing 10st 11lb (can't quite remember now!) So hopefully they will maintain a loss by the time I weigh in properly tonight.
I definitely feel more satisfied this week, just in general. Mixing my Healthy Extras up has stopped me from getting bored, and by restricting my Syns / using them daily, I feel like I've enjoyed them more. Instead of just having them because "I have loads left", I've stuck to the limit I set myself and have really savoured them. I've even used them for different things this week, incorporated some into my meals and have tried healthier options, such as the Nakd bars.
Really happy with how things panned out this week, and I'm looking forward to doing it all again next week. At first I thought it would seem like a bit of a chore, but it's actually been quite enjoyable! The only thing that could possibly get in the way next week is my Grandad's funeral on Thursday, but I already have a plan in place for that! So fingers crossed xx
