Well done @TigerJoy

[Lubilu28]

Feeling very demotivated today! I have a feeling it’s TOTM time but it shouldn’t be for another week 🤔 I weighed myself this morning and I’m still the same!! I don’t weigh in till Saturday so I’ve still got a few days left to get it shifted but I just don’t understand it as I’ve been good everyday!! Maybe I shouldn’t be using all my syns??

Food diary for today will b

B - 2 light and lean sausages (1), bacon, eggs and tinned tomatoes

L - left over cheeseburger pasta (HEA) with spinach

D - Diet Coke chicken, egg fried rice and crispy kale

S - 2 hifi bars (HEB), apple, light and free yogurt (1)

No plans to have anything extra so will try and end the day on just 2 syns

[Lubilu28]

Wow well done tigerjoy 🙌

[TigerJoy]

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun and @lubilu28

It's just what I needed. I've been feeling really demotivated but I checked and I've been doing this 19 weeks and I've lost 18lbs, so that's about a pound a week which is kind of reasonable.

@lubilu28 I think you're supposed to eat at least 5 syns a day. It helps keep you full and feeling satisfied so you don't go on a massive chocolate/cake/chips bender, basically. Are you having enough speed? it should be half your plate. Are you on a low fibre diet because it looks like all your speed today is not very filling. If you have crunchy veg in a salad or things like carrots they fill you up more and you end up eating less of everything else (I'm sorry, I know my diary today isn't a very good example of that, I'll add a crunchy salad to my lunch now I've looked at it!)

[lifesbetteraftertea]

Love seeing pictures of meals, really inspirational ! My plan today
B: banana, pear and hifi
L: pasta n sauce
D: chicken and lots of speed veg syns for gravy
Snacks: other hifi and poss some chocolate tonight

[Lubilu28]

tigerjoy yer half my plate will be speed (not my breakfast tho) and no I’m not on a low fibre or not that I mean to be lol I’ve got peppers, green beans and carrots going into my Diet Coke chicken? I might add a few more crunchy bits to my spinach salad at lunchtime 🤷‍♀️ I’ll add a few more syns tonight maybe a meringue with berries and Greek yogurt lol

[TigerJoy]

Ah I've not cooked it that sounds loads! My apologies and as you were! It looks like you're eating all the right things, fingers crossed for a good loss this weekend. I find i tend to lose mon-fri and put on a bit / maintain at the weekends

[dexterslockedintheshedagain]

Crap day yesterday - DH's 50th and I made an awesome cake (even if I do say so myself, and it was my 2nd attempt!) and we ate half between us. I've made him take the rest to work today so I don't eat any more!
Really do need to have a word with myself. My holiday bod isn't going to happen on its own.
It's great to see everyone's food and ideas. Thank you.

[dexterslockedintheshedagain]

Blondes re the TV, are you still into TWD and other zombie type things?

[Lubilu28]

tigerjoy Diet Coke chicken is amazing if u haven’t had it before!! I use the SW recipe and add extra veg, tends to be like a sweet and sour chicken? And the crispy kale tastes like Chinese crispy seaweed so it’s a bit like a Chinese fakeaway

[FiveNightsAtMummys]

Well done Tiger!!


Today's meal plan:

Breakfast - boiled eggs

Lunch -folded eggs with spring onion, smoked salmon, mushrooms and tomatoes.

Tea - chicken breast, Mediterranean toasted veg and...not sure what else but something else.
