Starting a new thread as the older one is getting close to being full.

Weigh in tonight may bring my diamond award.

Home from holiday. Am 100% food optimising now. Let's see what happens on Tuesday on a different consultants scales too.

I've had 2 days so far of extra 15 syns and got one planned tomorrow, some savvy some just chocolate lol

Weigh in tonight... different consultant = different scales.

I.5lb off last night. That makes me 9lb down.

Whoops 6lb on

Another 1.5lb off this week, 20lb altogether. Fingers tightly crossed for stone & a half award this weekend. I'm off on hols on Monday so flip knows how much I'll put on (all inclusive).

Another half a pound off. Totally off plan today all day. Go on holiday soon so next weigh on will deffo be a gain! 7lb under new target now so it'll he fine.

Good day food wise.

I definitely feel much better for all my eating normally again.

I just invented a great Syn-Free dinner, if anyone wants to copy it!

Smoked Salmon Carbonara

Put a vat of pasta on to boil.

Fry a handful of frozen peas, some smoked salmon cut into strips and some garlic in frylight until the peas are just thawed.

When the pasta is cooked, drain it and stir through two beaten eggs, a tiny bit of pasta water, your Healthy A allowance of grated Parmesan, the pea and salmon mixture and some freshly ground black pepper.

The heat from the pasta cooks the egg and cheese into a silky sauce.

It was lovely!

Half a pound off on weds so I’m at 8.5lb off in total in 7 weeks with 1.5 stone to go til target. Need to up my game, weekends and exercise are my Achilles heel.

I put on 1 this week so not too happy - lost 3.5 week before - am still not back to my lowest yet (holidays always throw me back n takes ages to lose it again)
Really trying hard food wise this week but struggling with alcohol - although am measuring and trying to stay in sun limits

Been up to the SW golden bus. A bit of a waste of time. Apart from meeting my consultant from 2005 which was lovely x

Another 1lb off, which takes me to 10lb so far.

I’m happy with that as I haven’t had the best week and was really expecting to gain or maintain.

I’m happy it’s coming off slowly. The way of eating feels permanent and hopefully so will the weight loss.

How’s everyone else doing?

Well done @Pinkarsedfly

I've had a good week but as my period has appeared it wouldn't surprise me if I have to pay. 🤬

Loving my instant pot though.

Weigh in tonight and it's really hot. Will be a swollen mess by tea time.

Bah only lost 1lb. Hopefully a better loss next week as I had to do the walk of shame and pay.

My first maintain and it feels pretty shit, really wanted to get 1.5 off then aim
For 2x 2lb losses to get to club 10. Really feel like I stuck in this week, at least 15k steps per week, no more than 10 syns per day, I don’t get it!

Not interested in doing the s p thing as I don’t think that’s what I signed up for as it’s not sustainable long term but maybe I will have to.

Any tips?! Really want to make up for lost time next week. Absolute ideal would be circa 3lbs but I guess that’s pie in the sky.

15k steps per day

Do you have the same syns daily @YorkshireGoldFanClub? I found having different ones daily really helped.

@Groovee when you say the same syns, do you mean different actual food or a different number of syns? if you mean food, I guess is is more or less the same, I save syn consumption until after my evening meal and I will have a 10 cal jelly, some oreo thins and a pink and white wafer mallow thingy (can you tell I have a sweet tooth?!) any variations will involve either a mini milk lolly or hi fi bar but i never ever have savoury except on sunday when I use 3 syns for 2 potato waffles.

See I change mine daily as I noticed when I only used 7 I wasn't losing. I try to have a variety of different things like chocolate rice cakes, party rings, different kinds of crisps. Other days I'll have a cake in the day and save my HE's for night time. I definitely find moving things about food wise etc gives a help and upping my water.

I lost 2 this week but was hoping for more - I’m quite bloated with the heat so that might not have helped

I’ve had a rubbish week. I’m cross with myself and dreading weigh in tomorrow.

I just ate half a packet of Oreos in the last ten minutes of the day. I didn’t even want them.

Gutted.

Urgh weigh in day. No clue as to how I have done this week as always.

Can I join? My first week.... Joined group last Saturday and my erratic period has started... Went out unexpectedly to friends house for a meal, but other than that have stuck to plan. I know I haven't even completed my first week, but have convinced myself that I'm doomed to fail like I have done every other time I have started trying to loose weight, especially with my rubbish start....

I'm knocking on the door of 50 fighting against middle aged spread, saggy big boobs, and hormones.

my Mum and Grandmother are large... Is it just inevitable that I'm never going to be slim....?

Sorry for doom and gloom .....
