To give other new ideas options etc

B toast b - scrambled egg beans spinach ham
L chicken salad and mayo light 1
T potato bacon onion bake - sw mince and veg and salad

@troppibambini ah Lecce, wonderful!

Sorry to hear about your eldest, that is terrible. It's so hard to see the ones you love hurt. I hope the littlest one has had a brilliant day

@blondeshavemorefun I bought white bread and had it with butter. I bought it when I was feeling poorly for comfort food, I shouldn't eat it, but it's all gone now.

B - 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast (7 syns)
L - homemade chicken noodle soup (all free)
D - tagliatelle with bolognese (hea for parmesan)
S - 2 hifi, 1 orange club (6 syn), 1 twix finger (5 syn), some fevertree tonic water (2 syns). Can't promise I won't eat more chocolate, I've got another bloody cold

Looks good blondes I'm back on it 100% tomorrow!
We are a bit of an unusual blended family so I have
J (26) step daughter from arsehole ex
J (22) stepson from arsehole ex
M(14) daughter from arsehole ex
We don't see arsehole ex anymore and my step kids are now a massive part of my new family as their mum died when they were young and did I mention ex is an arsehole?
I also have
S-(9) with dh
L(6) with dh
R(5) with dh
Dh has also been ace and massively accepted dsd and dss into our family and they are here quite a bit and I think of them as my own.
The younger kids call them their special sister and special brother as they aren't actually related.
So in totally there are six (plus eldest son who is 3) it's noisy and manic but lots of fun

Anyway after that massive over share I will toddle off and try to meal plan for next week.....

@tigerjoy it's really good that you know how many syns you have had though... I tend to give up when I get to 15

@troppibambini that sounds like a really wonderful, loving family you have created - well done. Your dh sounds ace as well. I am one of 4 and my sister has 4 and I can see it's hard work and bonkers for the parents but it's amazing for the kids. I can see why you chose your user name! 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds a lovely set up and nice you think of them
As yours and dh

Tho the ex sound a twunt

@TigerJoy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yep it seemed appropriate!!
@Blondeshavemorefun thank you yep he's a complete twunt and we are all much better off without him.

I'm going to make a big batch of soup tomorrow need to focus again just had a look at some bday pictures from today and there are far too many chins.

@troppibambini I think I understand your username now! you and your family sound lovely. Not the arsehole ex tho

B- porridge with almond milk and cinnamon, 1 tsp honey (2 syns)

L - baked potato with butter (4 syns), chicken, cauliflower roasted with frylight (STRONGLY recommend this - 45 mins at gas mark 6)

D - pasta bake with bolognese and mozzarella (HEA)

I know I ate chocolate yesterday but somehow I am 4 pounds heavier 😬

You gained 4lbs. Bless you

I’m house dog and step children sitting so giving up this week
Once home I will try and be better

@dexterslockedintheshedagain  I think I may have been having a tricky day when I name changed!!

@TigerJoy I'm sure that will sound go 4lbs seems harsh for a bit of chooclate!!

B-coffee
L-pea, asparagus and bacon soup
S-s and v rice cake, 2 slices ham and pickled onions
Benefit bar
D-chicken chilli thing my mum made and gave me a portion will have it with rice later

• soon go

@Blondeshavemorefun what kind of dogs? I'm a dog lover ours is nearly 14 now

@TigerJoy I love roasted cauliflower it completely changes the taste, it really nice with a bit of tikka paste too.
My mum makes the most amazing deep fried cauliflower in batter (I'm sure you will have tried this with an Italian husband!) it's amazing but not very slimming world friendly

@troppibambini yes I've had that and it's amazing! But no, not so good for sw... i have found lots of my husband's family / local recipes are ok but just with much less oil (although his mum is probably turning in her grave as I cook them). Lots of pasta and veg dishes like pasta and peas, pasta and squash etc

@blondeshavemorefun yes please tell us more about the dog!

I'm sure the 4lb is partly water weight but I did have a fairly massive portion of pasta last night...being a bit better today.

He’s my step sons dog. A boxer. Gorgeous

Was 8w ish when came to live with us

And now nearly 4

What a beauty!

I'm going to try making chocolate porridge for breakfast as I am craving all things chocolatey.

Although my homemade bolognese was syn free it's made me feel really heavy and bloated. Might leave the pasta bake to DH and just have soup tonight.

B - 40g oats, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp honey, almond milk (2 syn). Was a bit strange!

L - chicken soup (6 syn as it was yorkshire provender but this is taking the piss as it's only 300cal)

D - pasta bake (hea)

I lost all 4 mythical pounds this morning!

Just planning how much chocolate I can eat and stay within syns today

Oh wow. The magical 4lbs

Yes he’s gorgeous !!!

B toast b butter 2 fruit

L rice and sw mince and veg

T chicken salad

It'll come back tomorrow, so far as snacks I've had an orange club, a mini twix, a crumpet with butter and honey, and I plan on eating some M&S milk chocolate orange extremely chocolatey biscuits tonight. I have a streaming cold and doing the Hungry Caterpillar act

@blondeshavemorefun he is so handsome!!!
@tigerjoy sometimes it just has to be done.

I weighed this morning and had gained 1.5lbs which I'm quite relieved at after two weeks totally of plan and eating ALL the chocolate.
I'm feeling a bit more motivated and back on it, we are taking the 9 and 14 year old away for the 9 year olds birthday this weekend.
It's going to be tricky being good but will try my best!
We are going to London and Harry Potter world I'm so excited

Harry p sounds fun

B fruit and yog

L bacon butty b cheese a butter 2

T pork chop mash cabbage

Breakfast was porridge made with skimmed milk I added a chopped up persimmon
Lunch was salmon with salad
Tonight I had a baseless pizza! Tomatoes onions ham and mushrooms cooked on a plate with melted cheese - then I had a nectarine
Syns so far were some sweet chilli dressing with my salad

@troppibambini...another birthday! Harry Potter sounds great though!

@janelancs that sounds like a great day. Have you tried Nigella's meatzza? It's like pizza with minced beef as the base. Really tasty

B - sweet omelette - 2 eggs beaten with cinnamon, fried, topped with 1 tsp sugar (1 syn)

L - M&S pea and ham soup. I refuse to count the syns, it was 400 cals, and I'm too sick to cook

D - last day of bloody synfree pasta bake, with salad, 1 syn for oil

S - nectarine, mango, so far 3 M&S extremely chocolatey orange biscuits at 6.5 syns. I can't guarantee I won't have more
Still off work and had to deal with solicitor.

@JaceLancs how do you make a baseless pizZa

Tea wasn’t as planned

Dare I ask how many syns a coop batter mix is?

Had toad in the hole and roast potatoes

Was bloody yummy

But so high in syns

Yep another one @tigerJoy

B-banana and yogurt
L-ww wrap with ham and cucumber packet of tangy tom crisps(4) and a hifi (3)
D- not sure yet I have some left over curry and dhal will probably have that.

I've eaten more than I usually do in the day today as I've just been to give blood and I'm a bit of a fainter!! I'm guessing a bag of blood must weigh at least a pound

@troppibambini lucky you! I hope you all had a great time. And if you've given blood you need to eat

B - porridge with honey (1syn)

L - baked potato, beans, cheese, rosemary linda mccartney veggie sausages (4 syns for butter). It was amazing! 3 M&S biscuits (18 syns!!!!)

D - undecided but might try the aldi curries we have in the freezer - chicken tikka and sweet potato. DH wants pizza

Got kicked off the SW app as I haven't been to meetings for ages. Does everyone else here still go for weigh ins??
