Well done Topsy

Welcome Aphrodite! SW never tell you what your target should be cause that is up to you. As the ladies said half a stone is the minimum of what you should want to lose.

I have lost almost 2 1/2 stones with them and want to lose another 1 1/2.

I'm attempting to make jam tarts today which I'm hoping to get to 2.5-3 syns each. Also a syn free coronation chicken mix.

On a mission today!

 

[AngelUK]

sounds lovely! Of course, Id eat all the jam tarts in one go! lol

I am going to have to try and resist eating birthday cake today. Not sure if I will succeed but might just go for a teeny tiny slice

 

[AngelUK]

It was my boys birthday yesterday and I had a slice of cake thinking it would be about 15 syns. Nope! if I am lucky it will be no more than 27! But with all the bits of icing and fondant I nibbled on I am probably looking at well over 30! I could KICK myself! But they only turn 3 once, which is a huge bday as they can now really appreciate it all and the cake was delicious! Ah well. I shall cut down on 5 syns per day this week

 

[Katerz]

Happy birthday to your lovely boys for yesterday!

Don't worry they only turn 3 once, look at the bigger picture this blip won't hurt

Oh dear, that sounds unlikely! How was your week? Were you ok with sticking to the plan? Cause if you got carried away with the choccies maybe then this could be after all? We were warned about Easter treats. Seems that even a not that big Lindt Chocolate Bunny (100g) is 27.0 syns! It is so difficult to stick to it when where ever you look there is chocolate and treats!

 

[topsy]

Thanks hun I have been off plan with meals... but i cant have gained a stone in 5 days AF is here. Drinking loads of water to flush any salt through me. Yep we did an Easter quiz last week. crazy how much some chocs were!!!

xxxx

 

[AngelUK]

Ah that does sound like AF may be the culprit then! Hope it flushes out!

 

[topsy]

[AngelUK]

Thank you

 

[Katerz]

So many people have gains with AF tut. Silly question but did you weigh at group? X

 

[topsy]

Yep hun I weighed in a group and my scales do weigh me between 3-4 lbs heavier so that maybe some of it!!!

Am so cross with myself for the BED binges I have had HATE BED so much but even then i have had bigger meals not full blown binges Must go forwards....

[AngelUK]

Must be so difficult not being able to control what you eat.

 

[topsy]

Its so hard BUT I am more in control than i used to be but when my mental health goes down ( like now) i hear voices and find it even harder to stick to the diet BUT got to keep trying just SO frustrating!!!

[AngelUK]

You are doing very well! You will get there and win this battle!

 

[topsy]

Thank you hun. HUGS xxxx

 

[Katerz]

Topsy you've done amazing everyone has hiccups and you'll get back on track again. Anyway the scenic route is nicer than the fast track

 

[topsy]

Deferentially gone the scenic route!!! down the country lanes. I put on 1/2 lb so who know what my scales were showing!!! Am happy with that and trying to stay on track this week

[AngelUK]
