A brand new thread for 2016.....:)

For old and new members alike....please join in and post food plans, meal ideas, how you use syns, weight losses and gains, how you feel.

I started exactly a year ago on 4 January 2015.
I weighed 14st 3lbs and was a size 16. Bloated and uncomfortable, I was mortified when I saw the scales.
In week 1, I lost 9lbs which has motivated me ever since.
I currently weigh 11st 3.5lbs and just missed my 3 stone certificate at Xmas. Put on 2lbs last week and not really expecting a loss this week but I want to get to 11 stone and then re set my target to 10 stone 7lbs.

I have gone down to a comfortable size 12 and even wore a size 10 Fat Face dress yesterday.

So, let's do this.

I feel quite excited. SW has definitely changed my life......:)

Weigh day yesterday and Saturday is treat night, dh works away all week so we make Saturday night a family night. Last night we watched a film and I had a glass of wine and some chocolate with nuts!!! Ate lots of free / speed food and didn't feel guilty about my 27 syns!!! I enjoyed every one!!!

Back on it today having enjoyed a treat.

B : beans on toast (10 syns for white bread / butter - it was lush)
L : home-made veg soup
D: home-made faggots, speed veg, gravy (2 syns)

Hea mill for drinks

Sn Heb 35 pistachio nuts (could change)
possibly a free yog or orange

Thanks blondie

I need to get back on plan I'm making two soups, leek and potato and butternut squash and chilli. Snowy here today I've realised that I tend to link situations to food. Snow means hot chocolate and biscuits. Ridiculous really so I'm trying to substitute those things for nice warm soup! and not think about floating marshmallows!!

Soup and croutons butt! Almost the same...

Buttwing, you can have an options light for 2.5 syns plus 20 mini marshmallows for 1 syn......

B.....mushrooms, spinach and chopped ham with fried egg and baked beans
Apple, pear, tangerine and plum chopped up with Mullerlight

L....vegetable soup with chopped chicken

Food was good yesterday

B - poached eggs and beans on one slice toast from Hex
L - home made soup with other slice toast and a laughing cow light
S - ham, small packet of popcorn
D - home made curry, plain rice, oven roast veg in spices, raita made with natural yoghurt and mint sauce
Wine. Lots of wine. Completely messed it all up. So cross with myself. Then had cheese and biscuits and chocolate.

Back at it today

B - two slices whole meal toast with peanut butter and a banana
L - about to have more soup
D - roast chicken, roast veg and celeriac mash I think.
Snacks will be fruit, yoghurt and popcorn

Wine will not be featuring!

B- Porridge for breakfast with skimmed milk.

L - leftover pastitso (5 syns for cheese)

D - roast chicken, swede and carrot mash, Savoy cabbage, green beans, stuffing (4.5 syns), SW roast potatoes, gravy (4.5 syns).

Snacks - will grab a piece of fruit later, probably a banana.

Thanks calzone hadn't thought of that!

The snow play didn't last long anyway. The youngest hated it and I may have accidental hit the 2 year old in the face with a snowball

B-banana and yog

L-butternut squash soup

D-roast beef, roast pots, parsnips, carrots and broccoli. And NO chocolate brownie pudding!!

I might be willing to kill for a piece of your chocolate brownie pudding butt

We haven't got any snow here (YAY) so we're off for a walk on the beach in a minute

Brunch: Bacon, omelette, beans, mushrooms. Tassimo cappuccino (2.5 syns)
Post-walk snack: Apple, cheese (HEA), satsumas, yoghurt
Dinner: Roast beef, roast potatoes, yorkie puddings (6), carrots, cabbage, runner beans. Gravy (10)
Supper: Hifi bars (HEB)

B- weetabix
L- potato wedges and Mayo. Rubbish nutrition wise- but perfect for what I fancied at the time.
D- roast chicken, pigs in blankets, cauliflower, green beans, mushrooms and gravy. No roasties on account of having the wedges for lunch.

Weigh in tomorrow, expecting to lose about 1lb. Having done low carb before, when the weight just FELL off, this way seems ridiculously slow. However, I'm hoping that by the time I'm done the way of eating will be so bedded in, I won't fall back into old habits.

SW 14st
CW 13st 7lbs
GW 11st 7lbs

B - weetabix and coffee

L - Lamb chops marinated in mint, Rosemary and balsamic vinegar overnight served with new potatoes, green beans, peas, leeks and gravy

S - Muller yog and Cadbury snack

B - Cooked breakfast at the hotel we stayed at overnight. Baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, fried eggs and a sausage. I avoided the hash browns and black pudding - and somehow avoided all bread! I had a pear, a kiwi and a peppermint tea too...

L - nothing, too full from breakfast

D - I have a SW quiche in the oven, which I'm planning on having with lots of lovely salad!

Whoever posted about the cauliflower-as-white-sauce... Thank you!!!! Just made it for lasagne and it was absolutely lush. I honestly couldn't tell it was cauliflower and I had a massive piece, all free except cheese (5 syns Max). Bloody lovely.

Overit I may have licked the spoon

Thankfully after everyone had tucked in there were no leftovers!

B - ham, mushroom and spinach omelette with baked beans

L - small piece of leftover lasagne with asparagus

D - quorn burger in a wholemeal roll (HEB) with cheese slice (HEA), gherkins, fried onions, burger sauce (2 syns) and tomato served with butternut squash and spinach

Also did a 2 hour power walk in the snow this morning

Just had Sunday lunch at a friend's. Roast, so all fine until the cheese board
Wine and cheese so not good. Will dust off the exercise bike tomorrow and attempt to burn some calories

b: Wmeal roll, boiled eggs, coleslaw
l; Fruit. Sliced cold meat (ham, pork). Biltong (2.5)
d: Gammon, baked potato, cauli, brocolli, carrots, cheese sauce (about 5 syns) and a yoghurt. Small choccie (2.5)

B - bowl of chopped fruit and a muller
L - mackerel pâté on hexb toast. Raspberries.
D - slow-cooked gammon with fresh pineapple and sweet potato fries. 6 syns worth of chocolate.
Sn - babybels hexa, egg muffin

Thanks knowler, that was my recipe!! :) Tis amazing though isn't it. So versatile too.

Here's my dinner tonight......

Main and dessert.

Dessert was fabulous!! Not an egg in sight.

Evening everyone! Just checking in after a couple of days. I've been on plan for the last few days - weighed yesterday and am 12st1lbs - that's officially a 6lb loss in 12 days! Going to stick to Saturday weigh-ins from now on, and weigh weekly.

Been very naughty today and only had one meal - just wasn't really hungry - but it was a delicious dinner so I thought I'd share! Split a Warburton Thin (5syns) and topped with chicken (1.5syns for Maggi seasoning sheet), onions, mushrooms, HexA cheddar and 1tbsp of red pesto (2.5syns). Served with wedges, tomatoes and peppers grilled in cajun seasoning. SO GOOD!

Have also baked some egg muffins, cooked another chicken breast for lunch in a salad tomorrow and done a meal plan for the week, along with the weekly shop. Hoping that all of the above will lead to another good loss this week! Am hoping to make it to 11st for the second week of March as it's my birthday then but it's going to be hard work...

Well done wine!

I'm aiming for 11st by 2nd week in March and that's my birthday too!

Posted too soon....

I'm going away for the weekend though so will probably gain a few pounds back

My SW quiche from tonight, with a HUGE pile of salad!

Made up the quiche recipe...

• cooked up thinly sliced onions, green pepper, chopped bacon and chopped mushrooms - enough to line the base of a 20cm flan tin - with a little salt, pepper and chilli powder till soft.

• put it in a flan tin sprayed with frylight

• spread some fat free cottage cheese over the top

• beat 6 large eggs in a bowl with salt, pepper, basil, oregano and mint, and poured on top of the quiche

• baked in a 180 degree oven for 40 mins till golden brown on top, then left to set for 15 mins out of the oven.

Made 4 portions - and it's so, so good!
