Thank you! I think it's 3 for the soup? (they're 60 calories but I'll look it up!)
How have you been food-wise today? I've decided that I might not be able to stick to slimming world but I will eat reasonably and not binge. I'll start slimming world again as soon as i've stabilized my eating.
My day has been
Breakfast: bran flakes
Lunch: butternut squash soup with 30g melted mozzarella
Snack: crisps (9? syns)
Dinner: i think this will be quorn and veg
Pudding: victoria sponge

Hey,
I think I'll carry on with the slimming world plan as soon as I get my bingeing under control but I'm still going to go to meetings so that I at least maintain rather than gain!
I will try to stick to it this week! Do you weigh in at meetings or at home?

So far today...
Extra Easy
Breakfast: A banana, an apple, a small glass of orange juice (1 syn?), and an egg fried in Fry-light
Lunch: a piece of bread (HEB) with tuna, a bowl of butternut squash soup (will need to look up syns) and a packet of Wotsits (6 syns)
Dinner: tbc
For my HEA I'll have a glass of skimmed milk and I need to eat at least 1 more portion of fruit/veg for my 5 a day.
I'm trying to replace my constant snacking with cups of tea or coffee but need to start using sweetener instead of sugar- does anyone know of a good sweetener? xx

I use half sugar as I find it helps when I need a lift with my sugar levels, I don't snack as much. I do use sweetener 90% of time and use Sainsbury's or supermarket own brand is fine for me. I do if I have not got time or forget to get it in buy from local shop candrel and that is fine as well.

Ooh i might buy some half-sugar, didn't think of that. I bought candarel yesterday and it does taste quite sugar like, although a little bit less strong maybe.

My week has been terrible, started off with voliate vommitting and diargrea as we all hubby and baby contracted a tummy bunny. Toook a few days to completely recover and the last two days I have been awful with binging. Ate half as block of cheese, four slices of bread, chocolate, pringles, I feel so yukky. But got to get out of this cycle or it could cause potential damage. Glad to see your working on your diet, best way really, we will get there in the end. I hope you have a lose, fingers crossed - I lost 1.5 today but I tjhink that is due to illness rather then anything else,haha!!!

Ah congratulations on the loss! that sounds like a really horrible week though! I can't bare throwing up, hope you're feeling completely better now (& your hubby and baba). I think it's quite usual to eat a bit more after a virus, maybe your body needed some nutrients (probs not the pringles lol!). I'd be amazingly happy if I could lose this week but my last official weigh in was a fortnight ago at group and I put on loads and then lost most of it, so I'm probs half a pound heavier than I was at last weigh in!
I accidentally kept 'testing' the icing while making my Gran's birthday cake yesterday and also had 2 curly wurlys in the end! Things have been a bit stressful at home so i'll blame that!
Today's food
Breakfast: a banana and coffee with candarel
Lunch: A small portion of wholemeal pasta with 25g cheddar (from HE-A)
Bowl of carrot soup
Egg fried in frylight
Snack: A curly wurly (6 syns)
Dinner: tbc
Exercise: jog (30 mins), probably walk 35 mins

I think I have a selective memory because I forgot to include the chocolate mousse (3.5) and bag of wotsits (6?) I ate yesterday! I had a very difficult day yesterday.
Anyway today is another green day:
Breakfast: a glass of orange juice (what are the syns in this?) and an egg
Lunch: Butternut squash soup followed by 1 apple, 1 orange, some grapes and a glass of skimmed milk (HE-A)
Snack: a chocolate mousse (3.5 syns) and a coffee with candarel
Dinner: Fish fingers (green HE-B x 2: 1 for fish, 1 for breadcrumbs) with couscous, peas, sweetcorn and a tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce (not sure of syns?!)
Dessert: a banana, a mars ice cream (6.5 syns)
And I found out our scales are not working!! I weighed myself 3x in a row and the pounds went up and down! So now I feel worried that I may have gained for weigh-in tomorrow especially with being a little 'relaxed' with my synage!
Fruit & veg: 8
Exercise: 30 min jog, walk for 30 mins this evening hopefully
Syns: 10 and extra for orange juice and sweet chilli sauce

Today will be another green day so 2x healthy extra A&B.
I think it might help if I start to do meal plans ahead of time. I am home from university at the moment and can't get in the kitchen to get breakfast because my Gran who has dementia is in there and in a bad mood! So I'm starting with two rocky road bars!
Okay so:
Breakfast: 2x Slimming world 'rocky road' cereal bars- (1 HE-B)
Lunch: Tuna & sweetcorn on 1 piece of wholemeal bread (2nd HE-B), a glass of orange juice, an apple and an orange
Snacks:
2 x coffee with candarel
A glass of skimmed milk (Healthy extra A),
2x rocky road bars (6 syns)
Dinner: Quorn spaghetti bolognese with 25g cheddar (HE-A2), lettuce with drop of balsamic vinegar
Dessert: strawberries, mars ice cream
That's the plan, I'll amend it as I go along!! xxx
Weighed in at 12'8 this morning and our scales weigh heavier than the ones at group- think maybe I had a lot of fruit weight from the day before when I weighed yesterday!

Oops I forgot to include the tuna yesterday so I had 3 Healthy extra Bs
Today I am doing a weight watcher's day because I can't control my syning! so I'm counting old points (60 calories per point)
Breakfast: Egg and mushrooms toast (HE-B-1) (4 points)
Snacks:
1.Rocky road S.W. bars (HE-B-2) (2.5 points)
2. Glass of skimmed milk with nesquik (3 syns) (HE-A-1) (2 points)
3. Light chocolate mousse (3 syns) (1.5 points)
4. Mars ice cream (6.5 syns) (2.5 points)
5. Another 2 Rocky road bars (6 syns) (2.5 points)
6. Highlights hot chocolate (2 syns) (0.5 points)
7. A curly wurly (6 syns) (2 points)
Lunch: no syn soup (1 point)
Dinner: Spaghetti (4.5) with bolognese(1.5) and low fat cheese (1.5) and lots of salad
So today I've gone vastly over syns and eaten 26 weight watcher's points- that's 1560 calories. If I want to lose a pound this week then I have to eat a little bit less than that- about 1485 calories per day so 125 less per day. I'll make sure I eat a bit less over the next few days or maybe just won't have any syns for a few days.
Exercise: 30 min jog- in the rain, was miserable! evening stroll for about 45 mins
I'm not trying to cheat by switching to weight watchers when I oversyn but having eating issues I'm just trying to do what I can to regain control!
