Day 107

Happy Saturday. Where has the weather gone??? Was lovely yesterday and now it's back to being a grey day. I didn't have any syns yesterday as we went to an evening football match and when we got home I went straight to bed.

WOOHOO I'm having to send a size 16 top back to ASOS because it's too big!!!

And morning weigh-ins have put me at my lowest yet, 14st 4's!!!

Breakfast: Tinned mackerel in tomato sauce with 2 slices of wholemeal bread.

Lunch: Tinned salmon over a jacket sweet potato filled with Philli Light (2 syns) with salad

Dinner: Fish pie (prawns, mussells, squid) topped with smash in Bisto parsley sauce made up with semi-skimmed milk (it's 4.5 syns for 100mls of fluid, so I don't know how much I will be using yet. Plus the dish will last me for 2 days) and brocolli on the side
EDIT: Used 250mls of milk but only 25g of granules and I think it'll last for three portions, so say 2.5 per portion?

Snacks: grapes, seafood sticks, pineapple, melon, mango, mint club (5.5 syns) and a packet of velvet crunch (4 syns)

Day 112.

Weigh-in in less than four hours. I feel a bit poorly today though and I was up all night with stomach pains and then the runs. I don't think it's the same as what I had in March when the doctor thought it might have been my gallbladder as I didn't have the trots last time so hopefully it's just a simple upset tummy I have taken some buscopan immodium and co-codamol and it's stopped the runs and the tummy pain but I feel too warm, a bit sick, and wiped out now. I might just weigh and pay tonight and not stay to class.

So, I haven't felt up to anything to eat today. If I do feel up to having something to eat it will be whatever I feel like and not necessarily anything SW friendly. :-(

Today's food:
Freddo (5 syns)
SW chocolate brownie (0.5 syns)

I had planned the following for tea....
Steak
Lemon & Coriander cous-cous (1 syn)
Salad
Kraft Dressing (1 syn)

But when it came to it, I could only manage the salad and a mouthful or two of the cous-cous. So I have made it into a green day and had 2 x healthy extras instead.

60g weetabix minis & 175ml whole milk

So, official weigh-in, thanks to fish week, was an amazing 3lbs off

3lbs off in 16 weeks
26.5lbs off in total
SLIMMER OF THE WEEK

Day 113

Today will be another off plan today, I think. Despite immodium yesterday I was up and down to the loo with the runs every couple of hours through the night so food is the least of my worries.

EDIT

I did get better as the day went on, and it was my consultant's 30th birthday party last night so I went up. I didn't want to risk being up with the runs all night so I just stuck to diet coke, and although I did have a plate of food, I left some of it, and what I had was quite bland.
- savoury rice
- pasta in a tomato sauce
- pasta, tuna & cucumber
- 1 x chicken drumstick
- Salad

And I also had a Rocky Road hi-fi light.

So, looking at what I ate, I did actually stick to the plan bar a HE A.

Also, best of all - I managed to fit into a tunic/dress which I had ordered last August after I saw it in the Very sale with the idea I would wear it at Christmas. It's black and 100% sequinned back and front with a zip-up the front thigh length so I would wear with leggings. Anyway when it came in August I couldn't even zip it half way up and it was tight on me. By Xmas I weighed a good 1.5 stone more anyway. But I tried it on last night and it was a perfect fit. I felt amazing in it and got loads of compliments.

The buzz I get from fitting back into old clothes I had grown out of, is much better than the buzz from buying anything new in a bigger size.

oh hello, thank you too. Replies have been like buses today, none for ages and then two within a few hours...lovely, thank you

I can't pretend it's been easy but I've promised to invest in myself for a year. I do tend to be guilty of eating the same stuff though a lot, mainly due to time constraints and that I'm not cooking SW for the whole family BUT I do enjoy what I am eating and that helps.

Day 116

Breakfast: Mugshot, banana, plum

Lunch: Chicken breast leftover from Saturday (all free)

Dinner: Went out for a 3-course Thai meal. No idea how many syns I ate because it was a set menu and they just kept bringing it out. It was very nice and extremely filling however it gave me terrible wind and subsequently I ended up having the runs really badly when I got home (which could be a good thing as far as my diet is concerned).

Syns: Walker's pops (4 syns), Hi-Fi bar (as HE B x 1 for S), WW pink n white biscuit (2.5 syns), 1 x packet of small fizzy sweets (like parma violets, but the fizzy ones) 2 syns, Freddo (5 syns)

Weighed in this morning in the 14 2's, so up on yesterday but I did think that would happen.

Day 117

Horrified this morning to be back to 14st 4lbs. How can this beeeeeeeeeee?

Breakfast: 45g weetabix minis (1.5 HEB), 175ml whole milk

Lunch: Gammon salad with Kraft (1 syn)

Dinner: Not decided

Snacks: 1 Alpen light (0.5 HEB), 4 x fizzy sweets (6 syns), pom bears (3.5 syns), apple

Gosh are you weighing yourself everyday?

 

[yo-yo-dieter]

Gosh are you weighing yourself everyday?

Yeah but it's only my official Thursday evening weight that I count.

 

[yo-yo-dieter]

Day 118

Weight this morning is back in the 14st 1's.

Did okay this morning:

30g weetabix minis, 175ml semi-skimmed milk, banana, muller, 2 x fizzy sweet things (3 syns), 1 x wafer biscuit (2.5 syns)

However this afternoon was a retirement party that I was invited to. I did not want to risk assaulting my stomach so I didn't have a lot. I had 2 x sandwiches (cut into quarters), 2 tbsp veg curry, quite a big of pilau rice, a kebab and a plastic cup of full-fat coke. Believe me - this is nothing for me!

Then this evening I just cannot be arsed. I've had a pom bear (3.5 syns) and a Freddo (5 syns).

I'm fully expecting to gain weight tomorrow but I don't mind. The old me would have gone "sod it" and fallen off the wagon and been reversed over repeatedly but I'm just thinking "meh, get back onto it tomorrow". I'm defrosting a tub of speed soup ready for lunch tomorrow.

Day 119

Off plan again today (kind of, I think)

Breakfast: 30g weetabix minis, S/S milk

Snacks: Banana, 6 x packs of fizzy sweets (9 syns), pom bears (3.5 syns)

Lunch: Speed soup

Dinner: Nothing, not hungry which means I'll probably grab some toast or something later....

(although not too bad now I am looking at it)

Official weigh in today.

STAYED THE SAME
26.5LBS IN 17 WEEKS.

So, I'm hoping to shift the 1.5lbs to get my two stone award next week so I'm going to try and keep on track, stomach upset or no stomach upset

Mid-Morning snacks: Grapes, banana

Lunch: Salad, sweet potato, laughing cow light triangle (1.5 syns)

Dinner: Shepherds Pie with gravy & brown sauce (2 syns)

Snacks: 2 Alpen lights, one of them biotic drinking yoghurts (4 syns), Walkers Pops (4.5 syns), 3 x fizzy sweets (4.5 syns)
