Hey ladies, haven't really been online to update... only lost 0.5lb last week was totally gutted, really thought I would have got my half a stone sticker lol. But it was * week and I did eat a few extra snacksize chocolate bars but made up for it by not having anymore syns that weekend.

Anyway, I get weighed tomorrow I really hope I've lost 3lb.... I've been good, and walked quite abit too!

Only downside was today, OH's sister done me a cooked dinner... I didnt ask, but couldnt refuse lol. It was only 2 slices of beef, lots of veg, 2 boiled potatos and 2 roast potatos, yorkshire pudding [didnt eat this] and gravy... anyone got an estimate on syns? Im on EE... or would I need to find out how she made the gravy? x

 

[Claire1]

Yep 28g branflakes plus x1 ryvita sesame/original/dark rye counts as x1 HEB

I just had the most tasty tea! made Jamaican chicken curry, added lots of spinach, fresh chilli, onion and tomatoes etc and it was lush! had it with brown rice and some grapes for dessert

Did a hr in the gym today too so feeling good as i usually go mad at the wkends and bugger up. lol. Made enough of the curry for work tomorrow too so that saves me being tempted to eat junk and il take 2 mini merginue nests with me as a snack with my coffee.

Hope everyone has had a good wkend xxx

That chicken sounds lush!!

Right today is the start of my 3 day strict SW eating plan so I can at least lose a lb on thursday at WI *fingers crossed*

Today:
B- 28g sultana bran (HEb) milk (HEa) sweetner & a cup of tea (milk HEa & sweetner)
L- Tin spaghetti hoops, grapes, FF Yoghurt & a babybel light (HEa)
D- Mountain of rice & some of DH's home made chilli (extra lean mince HEb) so if that goes to plan I'll have had no syns so may treat myself to a chocolate digestive (4.5 syns) and a options Hot choc (2 syns) total 6.5 syns
- Hopefully lol x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Treat size malteasers are 5 syns per pack

I do the EE plan and have lost 3 stones so far. I love it! like not being restricted and only having x1 hea and x1 heb as i used to struggle eating them all xxx

 

[the why bird]

Hi Claire,
not sure of the syn value for the snack size pack, but I do know that one malteaser is 11 calories, so about one syn per two malteasers! How many are there in a pack?

I must resist the cream cakes that I'm so tempted to buy!!!!

 

[Amy-Lea]

Well, yesterday I went to the cafe at lunch time having had no breakfast and got a wholemeal barm with bacon on- no fat.

Then for tea I had a jacket potato, salad and some chicken roll (is packeted chicken and ham free btw? like the processed stuff) but theeeeen I had a caramel egg(creme egg thing) AND half of a small cadburys easter egg! Although in my defence I haven't had chocolate for AGES and it really satisfied my craving. If I would of denied myself I would of worked my self up for a few days and had a good old chokky binge so I'm not too fussed.

Today I haven't eaten anything yet think I'm gunna have a tomato mugshot and for tea tonight is SW lasagne & salad! Maybe wedges if I can be bothered peeling potatoes haha

 

[ames_x]
