Brilliant Binary x

FaithAgain · 04/04/2017 07:33

Amazing binary! Star

BasinHaircut · 04/04/2017 07:42

Nice one binary!

ALemonyPea · 04/04/2017 08:01

Well done Binary.

Think it might have been surgery/medication related. It's not nice.

WI for me today. Feeling optimistic, my scales say I've had a loss, so hoping it reflects on the official ones. They're usually a lb lighter so that would be nice.

Good luck with Tuesdays WI, I know there are a few of us.

Star fab binary good luck to all the weighers today.

Now, on a serious note I have to eat a cake todayGrin it's my dear friends birthday and we always buy each other cake. I feel I can't say no and ruin the tradition and also, she's going through tough times so I just need to!
So....what is my best option syn wise? I was thinking some sort of meringue?
What do you think people??

Groovee · 04/04/2017 10:08

Lavender my mum got a chocolate cake from Sainsbury's which was 13 syns a slice. It was well yummy.

Weigh in for me. After a few big losses I'm not expecting much. Antibiotics are causing me issues so may get some scan bran.

00100001 · 04/04/2017 10:16

Hmm for the cake I'd really just buy whatever and enjoy it Blush

Groovee · 04/04/2017 12:23

Just found an app called Slimit which allows me to count my syns and HE's! That will help while I am out and about.

BasinHaircut · 04/04/2017 12:27

Is it accurate groovee?

I'm really into courgette at the moment.

YoureMyWifeNowDave · 04/04/2017 12:33

Well 3.5lbs off for me this week! I got my 1 1/2 stone award and also slimmer of the week! Still in shock I think 😂

Groovee · 04/04/2017 12:51

@BasinHaircut it's more that you put them in but when I am away from the house I can check the app.

Well done @YoureMyWifeNowDave

alibongo5 · 04/04/2017 13:34

Not sure @BasinHaircut. I don't believe I can be but my home scales are telling me I am! Tonight will tell!

And well done @YoureMyWifeNowDave - a trio of victories!

ALemonyPea · 04/04/2017 14:20

Well done Dave 🌟

3lb off for me this week 😮I am over the moon!

Taster day at group was lovely, someone had made cheesecake and carrot and pineapple cake. So nice to have something sweet as opposed to quiche.

Groovee · 04/04/2017 14:25

That's great @ALemonyPea

LavenderRains · 04/04/2017 14:51

Well done Dave & Alemony fantastic🏆🏆you must be chuffed!

I plumped for a toffee cream meringue, which was lovely and only 5.5 syns!

alibongo5 · 04/04/2017 15:22

3lb @alemoneypea! Well done!

Was the carrot and pineapple cake free? Sounds worth knowing about - do you know how it was made?

BasinHaircut · 04/04/2017 16:33

Good luck then ali!

lemony and dave amazing!

Im in a right good mood today.

ALemonyPea · 04/04/2017 18:12

I wish Ali! It was 2.5 syns for a small square, but so worth it. Not sure I could keep myself from eating the whole thing if I made it though.

I'm terrible with cake, one slice is never really enough.

Frouby · 04/04/2017 18:27

Wow well done Lemony! Bet you are chuffed to bits.

I am having a day off sw. Am fed up with not losing despite sticking to it.

Am not going to group any more. I don't stay to group so am just paying someone to weigh me. I rarely look at the app either and know what syns are in most things I eat.

Have been using mfp for the last few weeks and am always under calories, usually around 1200. So am going to use that instead. And stick to sw habits but up the exercise as I can only think it's that what is stalling my loss.

Will still be weighing in here every week though!

I will give it 6 weeks and see how I go. Am also going to write down my weight in my sw book as usual.

Looked back through my weight on mfp though. I am almost 3 st lighter than january 2014. Ok ds was only 2 months old but that's good right? And even before I was pg I was only about a stone lighter than now.

OwlinaTree · 04/04/2017 19:26

Well done losers, some great losses! I managed to gain 1.5lb, which is what I lost last week! I think I was lucky to lose that really last week as I had some off plan meals, so it's all balanced out now. Onwards and downwards (hopefully!)

Doing the helping was OK, I had to help take the money and do the certificates, so it was fine.

whereareyousleep · 04/04/2017 19:55

1lb loss for me was hoping for 2 for my 1 1/2 stone award but will try for it for next week. Was a bit guttted as scales originally showed 2 1/2 off but jumped up at last minute Angry

BasinHaircut · 04/04/2017 21:02

Don't worry where you'll get it next week.

Just had a yummy dinner of salmon, Risotto rice (uncle bens stuff), roasted butternut squash and peppers, and green beans. Ended up being a late dinner because DS was being so cute at bedtime I let him chat for ages.

Have had 10 syns today and gonna leave it there. Good day.

FaithAgain · 04/04/2017 21:09

I think that's understandable Frouby. Are you eating enough? I don't know how many calories I'm eating...might have a look on MFP.

Awesome work Lemony and Dave. Grin

where I had that with my 2st...I was 1/2lb off getting it! Nice when I did though!

Shamoffour · 04/04/2017 21:28

Well done lemony and DaveSmile

Shit day I've eaten chocolate, unexpectedly come on my period, very nearly burst into tears in the middle of a dyslexia meeting at school, and it's dps op tomorrow. Gah I need to focus today has been so bad. I think it's because I feel nervous and worried and I'm trying not to be in front of dp.

Groovee · 04/04/2017 21:29

Lost 1.5lb. That's 1st 12lb in 14 weeks. So chuffed and completed my stone before Easter challenge.
