Well done Raisedbyguineapigs and good luck for tomorrow Testarossa . I was wondering,does anyone have any remedies for fat knees ?????

Got to use my new slow cooker today, so a lovely comforting casserole on cold snowy day!

B-none
L-wholemeal sandwich (heb) with chicken and quavers
S-naked noodle pot
D-sausage casserole
Hea- milk for many cups of tea today!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend, Sunday night blues are kicking in

I'm rubbish at eating during the day. Want to sort out some soups etc to go in the freezer this week to have for lunches

B- Alpen light bar (1/2 heb)
L- a random plate of apple, carrot sticks, ham, cheese (2/3 hea, rest was milk in tea and coffee) and sunflower seeds (1/2 heb)
D- pork loin, sw chips, baby sweetcorn, asparagus, carrots
S- 3x Ferraro rocher (Mother's Day chocs finally finished off!)

L - (don't judge for my weird lunch haha) tin of spaghetti and 4 carrots!!
D - pinch of nom Spanish pork and potato bake

S - will be more fruit with yoghurt and probably a couple of mini meringues

Does anyone half their healthy extras? So today I had two teas in tiny cups (they're tiny tiny cups that my GPIL have for tea!) and then had half a portion of what would be healthy a cheese. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do it. If I can't I'd be under syns anyway but I wonder if it can be done.

I sometimes half my healthy extras and it’s fine to do. My consultant uses her B for stewed Apple & raspberries and then syns oats for a crumble

I always split my healthy extra A.

I have 175ml skimmed milk for a milky coffee, and 20g Lighter cheese for toast or on my dinner, etc.

But I also syn healthy extras if I want, say another coffee or some more cheese on my food. I'd rather syn more healthy extras than syn chocolate or crisps because I have no willpower over them.

That's good to know. I've been doing it occasionally. I'll never drink that much milk in one day, but if I have a couple of teas I'll have a bit of cheese on top of my dinner.

I love a milky coffee but I don't mind adding 3 syns to my daily syn allowance if it means having 40g Lighter cheese. Got to love SW

I've started splitting my hexb. I have 20g oats in overnight oats for brekkie and then 2 ryvita when I get home from work as a snack.

I turn into a mathematician when it comes to divvying up my healthy extras

TMI but I have finally 💩! Feeling so much better.

I often split my HE's up.

A good poo works wonders 😂😂

B fruit and ml yog
L homemade chicken soup and pitta b
T salmon rice and veg

Not sure what the soup will be like - df made it from our roast chicken last night

I have 100g milk (hex A ) and 100g water to mix my porridge . The rest of the milk allowance I have in teas/coffee 😀

Weigh in today. I sneakypeaked and it looked like a 1lb loss. Fingers crossed.

Hope your dad's recovery is going well, Groovee, and that you get your target this week.
I've lost another 2 lbs this morning so I'm aiming for 2 stones by Easter.
Off to the dentist this morning as I've had some discomfort under a crown this weekend. My stomach's churning and I'm in a cold sweat. I have a dread of the dentist even though she is lovely. I keep telling myself to be thankful that I wasn't born in the Middle Ages!

Fingers crossed boo and well done latedecember

Good luck to everyone weighing in.

Well done @latedecember1963

Fingers crossed @boo1507

Thanks @latedecember1963 he's doing well as he apparently had sepsis. So very lucky man he is. Hope the Dentist is ok x

Well done @late and good luck @boo

Just half a pound off this week. Had a chat with my consultant this week as it's been on my mind that my target was a bit to low, for couple of reasons, I don't want to end up looking like a lollipop, and I think it might be hard to get too, plus maintain it. For me it's about being healthy. I feel much better having lost 1st 3lb, I've dropped a dress size and I would just like to lose a little more and I'll be 'there's (iykwim) so I've change it by upping my target by 3lb, so just another 5lb to go.

B- bran flakes and yoghurt
L - stuffed jackets and ham and salad
D - roast chicken dinner

Well done Testarossa
