I had a good day apart from my new fave naughty - the new kallo rice cakes - in branston pickle and sea salt and vinegar flavours - healthier than pringles I guess but yet to work out syns:x

Trying to forget the rest of that choc now:red

How many calories are they hun?
An easy way to work out syns for something which doesnt contain free food is 20 Cals = 1 syn!

Well after two bad days of not following the plan I am back on it today :)
Really hope I can turn things round as I am worried now that I will have another gain :(
x
 
I am just writing out a meal planner for the next week :)
This should help me stick to plan and ive got a big shop coming tomorrow too x
 
Well, yesterday - I made a huge pot of leek/potato soup (free syns) to do me as a wee snack for the week to keep me going until dinner time. Made 3 days worth of pasta arrabiata (1/2 syn) for my lunch. At least that's taken care off and should help keep me on track - been extra good since Thursday last week. Weigh-in tomorrow night! :)
 
How odd......so did I :)) First time I've ever made soup, can't believe how easy it was. Weighed yesterday, have lost 2lb :)
 
I cant decide about going to class this week. Cant go to the 5.30pm one by work tomorrow as got friends coming round in the evening so need to get home to get ready.

Thurs eve is my local one but it's a miles walk each way and meant to be minus 3 that night and have a bad cough I dont want to worsen, also am petrified of walking on frost/icy pavements.

Am finding in this cold weather and with a cough that wont shift last thing I want to do is to work all day then have to go out in the cold again!

Also meant to be some scan bran challenge night keep getting texts to say make something with scanbran and bring it and the recipe - have not got a clue on that one as cant stand scan bran and cant get any and wont have time to mess about making something and would need to be vegan.

I cant go next week either to my local one the consultant will think Ive deserted him! Will get to the local work one instead.

Dont like the idea of missing a weigh in though:{

I was talking to a lady at the station today who goes and we both feel the same way - no motivation to stay for the meetingsrolleyes
 
I don't go to SW but have done in the past so know the basics, therefore don't need to go to a meeting. For an accurate weigh in I pop down Boots :)
If you're having trouble getting meetings perhaps you could do the same. The money you save could go towards new clothes as the weight comes off :))

I could well do that when I've lost a bit more, will see how it goes could use the £5 for a zumba class I fancy trying.At the mo I want to stick to the weekly weight in - but this cold spell does not tempt me out in the evenings and got to work late next 2 Thursdays but will try and get to the Weds class.

Luckily I can still wear all my big cardys at the mo but I was looking today thinking my jeans are getting too baggy - maybe I do need to go down a size soon - I dont have to undo my Next jeans to take them on/off now so those will have to go soon and only got them a month ago. Am glad I kept my jeans that got too tight will keep me going a bit. Do need to get some new plain black t shirts for work as curent ones are so baggy now which is good in one way not good in another. The Happy Staffie charity shop is doing well amount of big clothes I'm sending their way!

I have taken the nice velvet jacket I got to wear at Christmas back twice to swap for a smaller size:)

Still wish we had funky fitness by me:))
 
Alison thats great news about your clothes :)
It's nice when you have to swap for smaller clothes.
We got our new uniform in August and Ive had to wear my own clothes again as they just dont fit. Luckily my boss contacted head office saying I had lost some weight so today got a brand new small set of uniform :)

I made a lovely carrot cake using scan bran last night and it was really nice.
Should be great as the scan bran helps with weight loss

Woo-hoo! Lost 3.5lbs last night.

I'm so happy I lost the 3lbs I put on last week, plus a little bit more! So, that's 34.5lbs in total now......really really want to lose 3 stone for Christmas so I'm being extra good now. I think having that weight gain has actually been a blessing, it's made me step up my game, I was getting really complacent. :)
 
Thats a fab loss - well done:)

I have lost 2lb this week - 1 stone 5lb total loss now - if I carry on on plan I will get to my next half stone and my club 10 by Christmas, not even impossible to get to 2 stone by then, but want to enjoy Christmas so not pushing that one.

My consultant says he does not mind which group I go to - whateve suits me best, he does want me to go to the Christmas one as its party night and his birthday is 24th.
 
I have stayed the same this week. A little bit gutted but wasnt really expecting to lose as started the week quite badly. I have now written out a full meal planner for the week, starting from today and also going to do the scan bran challenge too. x

Well done Alison - that's great! Good luck in losing what you want for Xmas! I've got my Club 10 and I get my free week next week - yippee! Save me some money. Our consultant isn't waiting the full 10 weeks to give us the free week as she thinks it's too long!

Staying the same is fine....and as long as you know how you did it, at least you know where to make improvements if you want to lose the following week. Good luck and hope you get a loss next week. :)

Oats so simple for brekkie, homemade soup & a slice of wholemeal bread for lunch and a healthy evening meal, slightly smaller than I used to eat. For snacks I have had more soup, fruit, yoghurt and curly wurly's!
Can't believe the soup is so easy to make. I keep a jug in the fridge and zap it in the microwave if I'm feeling hungry. (Must admit I have made 5 pots but it's so tasty :)))
That was with going out for lunch on Thurs and having a drink Sat night :{

Sounds like a great food diary :)
I have also been making lots of soup lately, great as a snack and a good way to get loads of vegetables down my neck too lol.
Tonight I made a lovely turkey and bacon stroganoff. x
