Happy birthday Lavender 🎂🎂🎂

Groovster, it really sucks when you gain and you've no idea why. I've found the closer I am to target, the more strict I have to be. Try switching your B choices up a bit, have a few speedy ones, so only one Alpen bar or two ryvita.

Giving blood today, that should go towards a loss for next week right?

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

lemony I always say when I donate blood that it helps to loose weight

Happy birthday for yesterday Lavender, just enjoy yourself! A week off when you've lost as much as that in the past year is well deserved.

I fell right off the wagon last night. DS wouldn't go to bed and as a result my dinner consisted of 3 slices of toast with butter, gammon and cheese. Not even anywhere near the plan!

Feel like shite today and my stomach is bloated from the bread. I never realised what bread did to me until I cut it out.

Ah groovester sorry to hear about the gain. Always worse when you don't understand why.

Happy birthday for yesterday lavender

I have weigh in this morning at 9. Really hoping for at least a lb off

Happy birthday lavender!

Good luck fizz, well done losers!

basin just get back on it today, it's just one blip. Nothing more wearing than a sleep refusing child!

Happy birthday Lavender.

In a fibro flare so easy day for me x

Robably wont have a loss now as had to have a packet of salty crisps before, and some squash and biscuits afterwards.

Hope you're better soon Groovee.

Lost 2.5lbs!

14lbs to go until pre-pregnancy weight, 34lbs to go to goal!

I can do this right?!

Well done fizz you are certainly on the right track!

Well done Fizz.

I've managed not to turn to good after my daughter's tutor group teacher passed away and she was told this morning.

Oh groovee how awful :( big hugs to you

groovee how sad

Well done fizz of course you can do it! If i can anyone can

Big hugs for your daughter Grooves.

What has everyone had for dinner, I am reviving my old favourites so Caribbean Pepperpot Stew for us, delicious if I do say so.

That is sad Groovee, hard for your DD.

I've just eaten a (small) pizza, not great really but I had pizza last Fri and still lost 5lb so hoping I won't have overdone it too much. Going to have watermelon for pudding.

Oh Groovee, how sad. Hope your DD is ok 💐

Well done on your loss Fizz.

21 syns consumed by me today. Not great, but it was for the greater good, so letting that sail by, and will have 5 syns until Tuesday and hope for that half lb to be gone. Just need a big poo for that haha

Lemony, get weighed in a bikini after a big poo..... you will get it this week.

I am trying to use my syns on healthy options rather than treats so got a bowl of mixed fruit covered in yogurt and 25g of nuts.

I love pizza WhoKnows!

We've got SW lasagne and salad. Being a SW angel polishes halo

Just boshed a double vodka and Diet Coke though. Friday treat?!

Dd is really struggling. She's away out to chill with friends. I just feel terribly sad as her tutor was only in her 20's.

I've only had 7 syns including my carvery so I think I've done well.

I made some pizza out my HE's. Filled the spot for me. Heading to bed shortly as I am so drained. Really hoping to hit my 3st this week.

I'v been following SW since January, I've lost nearly 3 stone and am now losing around 1lb a week . Happy with that as I feel much better and 1lb a week is 52 lbs in a year,

That's so young! Your poor DD (and you) must be shocked.

My brother and his gf are coming over tomorrow and insisting on takeaway..... What can I get within my syn allowance?

Nacho - chicken tikka and boiled rice is the best takeaway I can think of, also eat the salad that comes with it.

Eleventy million syns tonight on a Chinese takeaway, biscuits and crisps. Exhausted and just needed a food hug. Back on it in morning.
Thanks for support guys.

I think I'd clear the room if I stripped off to a bikini Nacho

Alfie, my weight settled to 1lb a week. It's annoying when you've had bigger losses, but it's off at least. Keep going. You must feel great after almost 3 stone off.

Depending on the takeaway, I normally get chicken in oyster sauce with boiled rice from Chinese for 6.5 syns for 550g or Chicken tikka (classed as chicken tandoori in the book) with boiled rice for 9.5 syns for 350g you could add a poppadom for 4 syns as well if you wanted to.

I suspect it will be Chinese because sister in law is vegetarian but really fussy so she will probably just have chips.

I was thinking chicken fried rice 11 syns and a carton of curry 6 syns. Prob won't eat all of it either because it's quite filling.

Indian I love though so glad there are still options.

When I was close to target last time I think I had a hair cut, trimmed my nails and gave blood just to pass the post , maybe a floaty light maxi dress instead of the bikini then.

I'm guessing here, but for Chinese I imagine boiled rice and something in black bean sauce or similar (with lots of veg) wouldn't be too bad.
