Thread 3

Welcome one and all

Thanks for all joining in on last thread And hello to anyone new

Seeing what others eat really helps me plus gives us all ideas

I seem to stick to same thing

To us all losing weight

Erm I can confirm, should anyone be wondering, that if you decide to save all your syns up for a weekend alcohol binge, it ends very, VERY badly.

Oh dear cherry, I hope you’re feeling better

Back on track for me today:
B - banana
L - chicken salad
D - spaghetti bolognese
S - 2 hifi bars (HEB), drumstick squashies (2.5)

Back on it today, I've decided I'm doing a sober September as I feel like alcohol is my nemesis.

B/L - Veggie brunch of quorn sausages (2), air fried potatoes, beans and tomatoes
D - spinach and ricotta (hexA) cannelloni with mozerella too (hexA) and garlic bread (hexB)

Probably sobs jelly after.

Weigh in this morning so 🤞🏻

haha we've all been there @cherrybakewellll! Or certainly I have!!

I'm back on it today too, the plan is to be really good through all of September and DM has been briefed on this, we're both going to behave and poor DF will just have to go along with it if he wants fed have just nipped downstairs to get a drink and see DM has put on a big pot of broth (or I guess it's scotch broth if you're not in Scotland?) and I can't wait to get right in about that!

L - the broth and a few crackers (6 syns)

T - fajitas - fajita chicken with onion and peppers, WW wrap (HEB), cheese (HEA), FF yog, salsa (1/2 syn) and a few SW chips on the side - good news is I got custody of the air fryer in my split so can still have nice crispy chips lol

S - strawberries and some passion fruit

Went out for dinner today to make the most of the last night of the eat out to help out scheme. Went to ask Italian and had light butterfly prawns (2 syns) followed by pollo Milanese (9 syns). Was quite surprised that I could have such a nice, filling restaurant meal for only 11 syns!

B - tea with milk from HEA
L - chicken noodle soup (1) with wholemeal bread HEB
D - beef casserole and mashed potato with butter (2)
Snacks - apple and a bourbon biscuit (3.5)
Exercise- 40 mins walk.
Weigh day tomorrow.....don't think it will be good as last week was a bit of a disaster. I've got a meeting re the future of my job on Weds which is worrying and have been comfort eating. Why can't I lose my appetite when I'm stressed out?!

@MummyInTheNecropolis that sounds so yummy, well done on staying within syns too!

@MrsAvocet I wish I lost my appetite with stress too, usually I turn to the chocolate.. Keeping all fingers crossed for your meeting tomorrow, really hope it goes ok for you!

L - leftover broth from yesterday with a cheese flatbread (HEA, HEB)

T - american cajun beef goulash (HEA) one of my favourite SW meals and is syn free!

S - apple and nectarine

I am doing a sober September so 🤞🏻 for some better results for me!

Sorry I’ve been awol too.

Been to busy shovelling food in to my face that I haven’t had hands free to type what I’ve been eating.
Probably just as well!
Didn’t bother weighing myself on Sunday as I couldn’t face the result 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Back on it today.

B - Greek yog and raspberries
L - Mexican chicken/onion/peppers/mushrooms and rice and two satsumas
D - flatbread (HEB) topped with humous (1 syns), red cabbage, red pepper, shredded chicken and pine nuts.

Not entirely sure what happened to my HEAs today? Think I’ve lost the SW plot!

2 weeks until I go on holiday. Need to wire my jaw shut between now and then to limit whatever damage I’ll do eating my way around the West Country!!

Sorry I too have been awol but I actually deleted the mumsnet app for a while because it's too easy to get lost in the conception and pregnancy threads for me and it just wasn't helping me recover after my miscarriage.

I have been doing well(ish) food wise had a couple of hiccups which mean I've only lost 1.5lbs in the last 2 weeks but I've been running and exercising and aiming to hit 10k steps everyday. I have measured and have lost some inches here and there which I'm happy with!

Yesterday:

B - salted caramel latte (a+1)
L - broccoli cheese and chive frittata (a) with potatoes and salad
D - spaghetti bolognese and side of veg

Didn't really snack and no hex b lol. I did sneak some oven chips off DS plate but they don't count 😜😜

Today :

B - salted caramel latte x2 (a+2) and a kvarg pot (0.5)
L - leftover spaghetti bolognese and side of veg
D - cauliflower and broccoli cheese frittata (a) with potatoes and salad

Hahaha just realise how very repetitive this sounds but I had a cottage cheese revelation recently with the frittata I made at the weekend as it was first time I've ever used cottage cheese ever and it totally elevated it so I'm making another tonight!!

I've started writing everything down in a planner I got from goalplanners because I forget what I've had so probably miscounting my syns.

It's my birthday on Sunday (big 30!!!) so I'll be off plan no doubt haha so I'm going to weigh in Saturday morning instead of Sunday.

Almost an excellent day today until DD decided to bake her amazing banana bread and I couldn’t resist a —huge— slice

B - banana
L - sushi (2.5) and mango
D - salmon, potatoes, asparagus and tomatoes
S - twister lolly (2), banana bread (god knows how many syns 🤦‍♀️)

hellooo to all returning!

I had a couple of jam mallows yesterday so that's 6 syns needing added on to yesterday's eats! They are so fine

@Bl0ndi3 your cottage cheese frittata sounds really good! did you follow a recipe?

L - spicy tomato and red pepper soup and a cheese roll (HEA, HEB, 1/2 syn mayo)

T - ham egg chips and beans (yes, I'm a child )

S - apple and pear and possibly a bit more cheese for 2nd HEA

Tea got changed last night. Pizza and gin

Toasting a friend on died on his birthday

B toast b ham egg beans

L chicken salad mayo 1

T ham and cheese a ommlette beans

oh so sorry about your friend @Blondeshavemorefun x

Today is weirdly looking like no syns which probably means I'll want something sweet tonight.

B - weetabix (hexB)
L - jacket potato with beans, cheese (hexA) and salad
D - pasta with salad (hexA)

@JingleAndTonic no specific recipe I generally always wing it when i cook haha

I basically cooked the veg I wanted first - brocolli and cauliflower last night. Also cooked some pasta I used ditali as it's nice and small but I imagine any would work...

I mixed 6 large eggs with a tub of onion and chive cottage cheese from Aldi and one hexa of grated cheese. I add a little salt and some garlic.

Put the veg and pasta in a dish sprayed with fry light and then poured the mix over and then topped with another hex a of cheese. You could obviously use more cheese so it's 1 per portion.

I cooked it in oven for about 30-40 mins.

I've really enjoyed it had it again for lunch today and then preceded to eat all the junk food in the house haha oh well!

Thanks @JingleAndTonic

Coming up for a year of his death

And next month is my Dead dh birthday and we always meet for anniversary drinks

Friend was a good friend of dead hubby

So now I can support his wife Bless her

@Bl0ndi3 that sounds so good and nice and easy too! will have to give it a bash!

@Blondeshavemorefun it's nice that you can give each other some support when you both know how it feels, still sad though - I think pizza and gin were totally justified

I'm on a bit of a last-ditch attempt to not have a massive gain tomorrow even though really i know the damage is already done.. what with my weekend of wallowing in self pity over my breakup and last night I was drawn in by DM opening a sharebag of crisps and some dips and was ravenous in the afternoon so had some cheese and crackers as well as my apple and pear - think I managed to contain it to the 15 syns yesterday though!

L - spicy tomato and red pepper soup and a few crackers (6 syns)

T - cauliflower and chickpea curry with rice and a garlic flatbread (HEB)

S - pear, nectarine, cheese (HEA)

might even force myself onto the exercise bike

Sure you won’t gain @JingleAndTonic. You don’t usually

I will

B cous cous fruit yogurt 1

L sausage 3 chips and beans

T slag Bol cheese a

Stodgy. Was nice. Comfort food

B overnight oats made with fat free yoghurt and raspberries

L 2 egg omelette with mushrooms, cucumber, red onion and tomato

D homemade roast tomato and red pepper soup with 2 brown sandwich thins.

Eat similar to this every day and either stay the same or gain at least a pound. Also walk a minimum of 6k steps .

@Bluesheep8 so disheartening when that happens
