Support Thread #1 for 2019

[Groovee]

Starting the 2019 support thread for those on SW or those thinking of starting.

Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Groovee. In 2016 I was told to lose weight so I could have Gynae surgery. I joined SW in Jan 2017. Have lost 4.5st on SW 5.5st since 2016. Have been at target for 9 months now. Long may it continue being at target and staying there.

Have my new members pack and look forward to the challenges of 2019. I need to look for some new recipes.

Sorry lemony.

Thanks everyone. Went slightly off plan with a cup of tea and some digestives, but feel that is what I needed and I'm fine now. DH is home and gave me a cuddle.

Had paella for tea, was lovely, made it minus chorizo, added it after I took my portion out. Completely free, and delicious.

Chicken kebab fake away, Bfree pita bread, salt and pepper chips, and salad. Marinated the chicken in paprika and garlic salt.

Sorry to read your news about your cousin, Lemony. Sending you a hug.

That looks lush groovee. We are having beef chow mein with ready made sauce, ready chopped veg, fresh egg noodles and some steak in it. Kind of low prep as a substitute for a takeaway. Works out at 4.5syns so hopefully will be worth it! DH is cooking now so if it looks nice I'll do a picture.

Hoping I can get to 11st7 by february. Placement starts monday so recomitting to exercise.

A 1lb gain this week. I did have a few days where I wasn't a good girl but still feeling a bit gutted.

I need to get back into the food diary and sticking religiously to my syn allowance.

Bad luck stranger. I find writing everything down the best way to keep on track.

Never mind Stranger. I find writing things down helps too.You see how much youve eaten and its always more than you think !

Lol to that boats. After looking at some of the 'what have you eaten today' threads I've decided I eat loads! But I'm hungry! Some that say they've eaten half a tin of soup and an apple for lunch... I'd be chewing my arm off by tea time!

At least you know where it's come from @strangerthongs

Welcome @Studentnursesos12e

Tried a carrot cake muller. To much ginger for my liking. Having a bad fibro day.

I'm trying v hard to stick to plan here. I need to lose half a lb this week to get back into target range so I'm hoping for that at least, but would love 1lb off really. I want to try to get down to the bottom of target range by beginning of March if possible, which is my son's birthday. 1lb a week makes this very doable.

Welcome Studentnurses When are you weighing @ Owlina ?
I love those new muller light donut vanilla custard yoghurts. I could eat 2 or 3. But thats just being greedy. I cant believe theyre only 1 syn. Are they a limited edition.If they were freezable,I would get some and put them outside in the chest freezer.LOL

Welcome Student, good luck

Stranger, a 1lb gain isn't big, you can easily get that off, you can do it.

Owl, you'll do it, half a lb is easy.

I wanted to lose a stone before my op, only 3lb to go, and 2 WI, one being two days before my usual on. I hopefully will do it.

Weigh in is Tuesday for me.

Today
B mushroom and tomato and ham omlette with 20g cheese
Pear, satsuma, 1 alpen light bar, natural yoghurt
L jacket with beans and ham and salad, small blob of salad cream, flat white
S Apple
D sausage casserole, broccoli and mash

Feeling good!!

Has anyone tried a skinni wrap? They're 4.5 syns, just had one for my lunch with ham and salad, was lovely.

Porridge for breakfast
Ham salad for lunch
Tonight having spaghetti bolognaise made with butternut squash spaghetti
I’ve been drinking all weekend so am not expecting a big weight loss this week

Just had turkey burgers from Asda, 0.5 syns eachnand very tasty. Will make 2 of them in to meatballs for tomorrow as well and have with spaghetti.

Are they in the chilled@ ALemony ? Good luck for tomorrow

Sorry to hear about your cousin Lemony.

Weigh in for me tomorrow. I've made sure I've used more syns this week (average about 10) to see how it affects my weight loss.

@ FiveNights Good luck for tomorrow

Who is weighing in today? Me and fivenights and groovee I think.

Hi all....started ten days ago and weighed last night for the 2nd time as I've switched nights ( problems with word cover) and as of last night I've lost 10lbs. So got my 1/2st award last night.
Just eaten my less than exciting but very filling porridge for breakfast. And my frittata packed lunch is done....dealing with Auditors all week at work and that's more than enough stress lol

Good luck for all those weighing today
