Anyone else get into the habit if weighing themselves everyday? I really need to stop

 

[kit10grl]

yes im an everyday weigher. I also need to stop. My scales are about 3lbs out from my consultants so i usually know what i weigh before going in so im never shocked when i have a gain lol. But i dotn get the pleasant surprise of a great loss

 

[AngelUK]

I am an every day weigher too and my scales are the same as in group but sometimes with a 1/2lbs difference. And that is why I know that I have again not lost anything this week (but possibly gained 1/2lbs) unless by tomorrow morning a miracle happens. (My weigh in is tomorrow at lunch time.) And I don't know why. I never go over my syns and I stick to the plan completely. Very disheartened.

 

[topsy]

i often weigh in every day and there is about 3 lbs difference, i like to know i am going in the right direction!

I never thought about saving my syns up!

One money saving tip:

Instead of rebuying Frylight, buy Lidl's version of Flora Cuisine (Vita D'or Raffinesse 99p) and pour it in the Frylight Bottle.

Frylight £2.50 = 1 kcal per spray
Raffinesse 99p = 1.1 kcal per spray

Looks like it not just me then! I just worry as LO follows me around and often steps on the scales. When I got on this morning he said good numbers mummy.

I've just snacked on 4 chocolate Mikado sticks 2syns and two nectarines. T has realised where they are and keeps reaching the drawer!

Late dinner if pesto pasta 2syns for pesto and using my hea for cheese. Serving with a rocket, watercress and spinach salad. Still got 4 syns left to play with

We are having Steak and Guinness Pie but with peas and carrots instead of celeriac again. I am going to only have a little bit of the pastry though cause I couldn't get the Jus Rol light puff pastry and instead got the Sainsbury's own lighter one but I am not sure they are exactly the same fat and calorie etc wise.
We always eat late sigh.

Oh and yesterday we had a full English breakfast for dinner and I had the Linda McCartney Rosemary and Onion sausages that are 0syns and I really liked them! Really nice if you don't mind vegetarian sausages! I also had eggs, lean bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and my HEB which I had saved for the occasion. Was DELISH!

I love full English breakfast on SW i like the sausages they taste like stuffing! xxx

 

[lola_90]

Ooh I've got a packet in the freezer will take them out for breakfast as my OH and LO don't eat pork.

Dinner sounds yummy Angel

Feeling peckish, so am snacking on Topcorn, and blueberries

 

[lindseymw]

I got a pack of those sausages today actually. They were on offer in Lidl.

Was going to be have them tomorrow with a full english breakfast.

I had to get the sainsburys own light pasty too angel and I got them sausages in lidl Lindsey!

Was quite impressed with the meat in lidl today but they don't sell everything so I needed to go to sainsburys after.

Went to Asda today and couldn't find any Quark. Taking LO swimming in the morning so will try the Tesco near it - it better be good

 

[AngelUK]

it doesn't taste of that much on its own but it is very versatile. I mixed some paprika powder and some salt with it and that made a delish dip for carrots sticks
And on berries with a bit of splenda it really is lovely!

 

[AngelUK]

Oh and if you add it to pasta sauces it will make them all creamy!

 

[nicki01]

I keep trying to find it in sainsburys but can't! I will have to look in tesco and see if I can spot it!

 

[lindseymw]

Can I just check that the LM Sausages are free? Or are they synned? Googled it and some say free, others say 2 syns each, some say normal LM are synned but rosemary ones are free, some 0.5 syns each??? Which is it?

PS: My mam gets Quark fron Morrisons or Sainsburys. She uses it for all sorts. Keep meaning to get some and make a cheesecake.

For the app, do you have to be a member to get the syn list?

I have a Syn list but it's not a full one i.e brands of certain items.

Here's a thought, I am currently brewing strawberry wine...as strawberries are a free food...does that mean my strawberry wine will be free? Please, please say yes!

Sigh, if only.
