1.4 kg lost this week - 3 pounds 1 oz

6.9kg to go to my original target

getting some comments almost daily now on how much weight i have lost.

4 eggs
2 small onions fried in fry light
large deseeded tomato
100grms ham
1 tbsp HF creme fraiche 1.5s
35grms light cheddar hex A

luckily OH doesn't like quiche so its all mine :drool:

Firstly well done ffynnon on your amazing loss this week. Very proud of you :clap: . I wish I could say the same for myself, but got a bit of a shock this morning with a 1.6kg GAIN. I wasn't expecting that. Having said that I went out last night for a work's leaving do. There was a buffet which consisted of sarnies, small pizzas, sausages on sticks, chips, onion rings, and wedges and cake(in other words, not very SW friendly!!). Even though I'd already paid for it I didn't have masses to eat, but I guess what I did eat didn't help, plus the alcohol too?... I know that it most probably didn't help to go out the night before a weigh in, but I don't think the gain was all down to that? Apart from my daughter's tea party last Sunday, it's been a good week for me, but I guess after looking back over the week, my speed foods could've been increased.... I think I will dust myself off now and give myself a kick up the bum for a good week this week and no doubt mum will be doing the same :whoopass:! Not going to dwell on it too much now.

Today:-

2 hb eggs
2 toast (400g loaf) HeB
Marmite

Lunch out at Harvester - chicken & chorizo skewers (2 skewers in total) with new pots (no butter) and peas, salad from salad bar and diet coke to drink - not sure on syns for the chicken and chorizo skewers??

Lunch was quite late so didn't really feel hungry tonight so had:-

banana
muller toffee

Tomorrow we've been invited to a friend's house for sunday lunch... roast dinner, so hopefully plenty of veg to be had...

Here's hoping for a good week x

 

[ffynnon]

DD don't despair :hug99: there could be any number of reasons for that gain, forget about it now and start afresh.

Morning! Been a good couple of days apart from cheesecake at friend's house on Sunday Oops! I also weighed on Sunday morning and I was 3lbs lighter than I was on the Saturday morning?? After discussion with mum, we concluded that it could've been the alcohol I had on Friday night, notably the lager! I felt very bloated on Saturday morning too... Note to self - no drinking the night before weigh-in!!

Having said that I need to be careful and watch the syns for the rest of the week. Update to diary:-

Monday

homemade sw quiche - made with eggs, ham, pepper, onion and 42g of reduced fat cheese - made this in a loaf tin and had a 1/3 of of it this morning with baked beans. It was quite shallow. I used 3 eggs and plenty of the filling. Will definitely make it again.

banana
leek and potato soup
apple
muller yoghurt

a dissapointing half pound loss for me this week. don't know why its been such a struggle, I had gained 3 kilos midweek for no apparent reason, i have not deviated from the plan in any way. So really I am glad to have lost those 7.5 pounds in 3 days. I can only put it down to fluid retention as my hands are quite swollen when i get up in the morning.

But I am thrilled about making that magic number of 76.1, I am now officially under 12 stone.
