Bit late to the party, but many congratulations Dave!🎉
Oh, Lemony, so close. The hot weather may not be helping. I know I've felt more bloated this week.

legolammb · 22/06/2017 08:27

Morning all,
Just checking in as I bought a 6 week countdown yesterday to try and keep me on track a bit better. Though I was disappointed that my consultant said they didn't have any summer journals for sale in the meeting - was hoping to do so some planning. I'd like to lose 10lbs in the next 6 weeks. That will get me down to my 1 stone award. I've really been messing around and putting the same few lbs on and off.

I've just had me HEB cereal for breakfast (measured) and have my tesco shop coming after work. Out for a colleague's leaving lunch for dim sum so will try and be sensible, then ham and egg salad planned for tea.

NachoAddict · 22/06/2017 09:43

Good luck Lego stay focused at lunch~!

Wh0Kn0wsWhereTheTimeGoes · 22/06/2017 09:58

WI just now for me - a maintain. I haven't eaten all that well due to the heat. It's only my second week and I lost 5lb last week so overall I'm happy.

ALemonyPea · 22/06/2017 11:44

Yeah I possibly have been bloated with all the water I drank at the weekend. I couldn't get my wedding rings off on Tuesday.

Currently loving Subway salads, but might have to cut back. There is a Subway just opened along the road from me, literally a 2 minute walk, and I've been every day since it opened last Tuesday for a salad. Expensive!

Are the salads Syn free apart from the sauce?

Well done Who at least it wasn't a gain and that is a brilliant loss last week.

I have had tuna for lunch three times this week, sea bass, salmon and tonight is haddock for tea, can I get fish poisoning from too much fish?!

NachoAddict · 22/06/2017 13:53

Foo I LOVE that!!

Groovee · 22/06/2017 14:04

D's has been sent home with a sore head, while Dd has no classes and has come home too. Can't they just stay at school and give me peace?

NachoAddict · 22/06/2017 14:14

Groove, I am sure you need to go out Grin are they old enough to stay home alone?

ALemonyPea · 22/06/2017 14:44

The chicken, chicken tikka, steak, veggie deluxe and hams are all free. I get sweet onion dressing which is 1.5 syns and the lowest dressing there.

I wanted to go to bed. 😩 am using the next week for my me time before the holidays start and then I have my surgery.

Dd has gone out thankfully! Ds is in bed! But jeez, they have to stay at school all of next week x

NachoAddict · 22/06/2017 15:47

If you can't beat em, join em, head to bed.

Oh that's good thanks Lemony chicken tikka would be nice.

ALemonyPea · 22/06/2017 16:16

The chicken teriyaki is free as well, just checked. Would mean no need for dressing. Getting that next time I think.

I've had two subway salads today. Ate mine at 12, then went to my mams and she'd bought me one, so felt obliged to eat it. Luckily no dressing on that one and only ate half of the salad, but god I feel so bloated now.

Aw lemony 😂

LavenderRainbows · 22/06/2017 18:31

Well I can report that the Pizza Hut flatbread chicken pizza was delicious! Thing is it says 3.5 syns per slice but it was one whole pizza so I syned it as 21 syns. So that's about 70 syns in 2 days!!Hmm

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 22/06/2017 18:46

Weighed in this morning

Lost 3.5lb, so pleased with that. I'm really happy that I resisted the food vans at the concert now. Walking up all those stairs in the stadium must have done me some good Grin

NachoAddict · 22/06/2017 19:10

Well done Minnie 3.5 is fab!

I bet it wad worth it Lavender I got a text of domino earlier, maybe I should block their number Grin

Had quite a hungry day today first time since I started.

FoofFighter · 22/06/2017 19:50

Lavender, shouldn't have cut it, the whole thing would have been one slice then at 3.5 syns hehehehe Grin

Lemony, I get salad bloats too, thought I was weird! Changed my SP day to an EE as I felt I needed noodles with my Mayflower chicken and veg curry to soak up some salad bloatiness :/

Re subway salads, I'm not keen on the chicken teryaki one, not sure how it's supposed to taste right enough never having had teryaki before in my life!

ALemonyPea · 22/06/2017 19:59

Haha Foof I love how your mind works.

21 syns for a whole pizza sounds great though.

Well done on the loss Minnie, great loss.

OP posts:
LavenderRainbows · 22/06/2017 20:11

I did suggest to my friend that if I didn't cut it it would be 3.5 synsGrin
I will go 2 or 3 days with minimal syns now to even things out a bit.
Well done on 3.5lb mini

Oh and I had a nsv today. Tried on loads of clothes, all size 14 & they all fitted! Only bought one dress tho as all the dresses are so short & my legs are still awful
This time last year I was in a size 20

ALemonyPea · 22/06/2017 20:19

Great NSV, isn't it lovely fitting in to regular sized clothes.

OP posts:
Groovee · 22/06/2017 20:26

Right I'm following Foof's advice on not cutting 😂

Lavender that's fab! I was a 20 in January and now a 12/14 depending on where I am shopping.

Minnie well done!

LavenderRainbows · 22/06/2017 20:31

I still can't believe I fit into a 14! I take it off the racks convinced it won't fitGrin

trinitybleu · 22/06/2017 20:39

Hello all. I'm back again (again) ... been on 2.5 weeks so far. Gained 3lb the first week having had a night out (but not gone mad) and then lost 8lbs this week. Craving junk today and feeling PMS-y Sad
