Thanks Basin x

summerblonde · 23/01/2017 13:39

I would be happy with a 1lb next week making it an even 10lb loss in 5 weeks. I don't feel massively different though have to say x

Groovester · 23/01/2017 13:47

Well done Losers xx

Buttwing · 23/01/2017 14:02

Is it wrong I feel a bit famous now I have a meal named after meGrinGrin

Guess what we are having for tea!

summerblonde · 23/01/2017 14:07

Hahah no be proud. In fact I call it the Buttwing Special 😂. We are having it for tea tomorrow night.

randomer · 23/01/2017 14:22

hello folks.....I'm not keen on Muller...what are nice alternatives? Don't like that chemical taste.

Groovee · 23/01/2017 14:28

I like light and free by Danone

Frouby · 23/01/2017 14:39

Afternoon all.

Well done losers. It doesn't matter how much as long as it's not a gain.

I am suffering today. Stubbed my little toe really badly last night and I think it's broken. Phoned 111 and the walk in centre and they have both said go to a and e. Have no one to have ds (3) though and no one to drive me up until tonight. And I really can't face sitting there for hours. Will have to go in morning if my mum can have ds.

But anyway.

B. Coffee
L. Salmon and salad.
T. I am not sure yet. Was supposed to be a chicken dinner but don't fancy doing that with dodgy foot. Probably pasta of some type with something. Or a jacket spud.

FaithAgain · 23/01/2017 14:53

I like the muller lush Greek yoghurts. Don't have that same fake taste.

Groovee · 23/01/2017 15:34

Frouby ouch x

BasinHaircut · 23/01/2017 15:53

I'm jealous butt, will have to get working on a basin pie or something Grin

SpaghettiMeatballs · 23/01/2017 16:17

randomer I can't stand them! I've tried but can't stand the taste of the sweetener.

I have 0% Greek yoghurt with a bit of fruit. Bizarrely the muller Greek 0 are nice. Totally different to muller Light.

randomer · 23/01/2017 16:34

thanks guys for advice....I like frozen fruits of the forest and yog and a bit of agave

ALemonyPea · 23/01/2017 17:05

I'm going to an Italian food night at my sisters at the weekend, I'm making Butt stew 😄

I'm so hungry! Hate having periods, they make me want to eat eat and eat, and this stress of everything else, I just want fooooooood

randomer those activia creamy ones are nice but they are about 4/5 syns sn IIRC.

I'm into muller bliss whipped corner thingys at the moment. They are also 4-5 syns.

Ok off to get weighed now Shock

BasinHaircut · 23/01/2017 17:24

frouby sounds painful. Hope it's not broken!

Groovee · 23/01/2017 17:36

I tried the yeungs curry sauce. Wow it's hot 🌶🌶🌶. But nice.

Off to the theatre with Dd as her birthday present. It's Alice in Wonderland.

laurieloo30 · 23/01/2017 17:48

Thanks for all the support Smile

Well done summer!

Ooh Alice in wonderland sounds awesome! Have a good time groovee!

BasinHaircut · 23/01/2017 18:03

Pound off this week, I'm well pleased with that.

Staying to group now.

summerblonde · 23/01/2017 18:06

Hi all, am a TOTAL newbie! Haven't been to my first meeting yet (it's on Thursday) I really don't know what to expect! My only experience of SW is seeing my mum do it when I was a teenager!

Reading all your previous posts has been very uplifting! Could someone explain HEXA and HEXB though? I've been trying to gather knowledge and prepare myself! I intend to do a food shop straight after my meeting on Thursday so want be prepared! I just bought semi skimmed milk for the first time in about 5 years (full only in my house!).

I have no idea how much I weigh (have never weighed myself) but bracing myself for a shock! Trying to start as I mean to go on this week, mentioned SW to a colleague who disclosed that she had her first meeting last week (same consultant that I will see on Thursday) and we already supported each other through the day today which was lovely!

Love reading your stories everyone!

OwlinaTree · 23/01/2017 18:49

Welcome bong! All will be revealed regarding hexa and b when you join. Basically it's the amount of dairy and fibre you are recommended to include each day. There is a whole list of things you can choose from.

Quite a good day for me, baby up in the night again but got a bit more sleep than previous night. Fx better again tonight. The tiredness really makes me want to reach for the biscuit tin!

summerblonde · 23/01/2017 18:52

Thanks laurieloo! I'm very pleased. I feel like last night fall of the wagon might show it's self next week so I need to be extra good this week.

B - nothing. Cup of tea. 1 syn.

L - chicken, watercress, peppers, tomato, cucumber, rocket. 1.5 syns for salad cream.

D - 1 x 400g of wholemeal, 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of smoked bacon medallions, tomatoes and mushrooms for speed. 1 syn for marg.

3.5 syns. May have a Freddo and cup of tea later taking me to 9syns.

alemonypea - I'm exactly the same on my period, all I want to do is eat (and sleep!). Especially the day before and the first day. It's a battle of the wills.

summerblonde · 23/01/2017 18:55

Welcome bong 😊.

Yes it is as owlina says fibre and dairy. I'm not sure what's on the list as I use the same every day. 250ml semi skimmed milk and 2 x 400g of wholemeal bread. I don't eat a lot of cheese and if I needed to I would syn it. I guess it depends on what you like. I am a big tea drinker so mine goes on that. My bread I tend to use one for breakfast with eggs as it keeps me full until lunch. I sometimes use the other one for tinned mackerel or beans on toast. Sometimes I don't use the second slice at all.

Enjoy your first meeting xxx
