Welcome one and all

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

D - spag bol (free) plus a slice of garlic bread (4)
No snacks and went for half an hour's walk.
We are going away tomorrow/Sat so going to have to be careful. There's a Premier Inn breakfast to look forwards to on Sat morning though I suppose if I stock up on free foods at breakfast it will possibly save me from too many indiscretions at the event we are going to later!

@Blondeshavemorefun sausages look yum what kind were they?

@Bluesheep8 are you using your syns? you might need to up them a wee bit?

@MrsAvocet you're brave, all you can eat breakfast is one of my biggest downfalls 😂

gained 1lb this week, thought it would be more after eating the contents of the snack cupboard last night 😬 have just been so hungry this week for chocolate!

L - leftover cajun beef goulash (HEA)

T - mcdonalds fakeaway - 6 nuggets (6 syns), 2 tesco hot and spicy chicken mini fillets (not sure on syns but can't be toooo bad?!), SW chips and BBQ sauce (1 syn) might also treat myself to a mozzarella stick or two, could they count as HEA? 😂

I've got a jelly and a small amount of custard planned for when we do family film night, the kids are having homemade popcorn but I was shocked that even oil free it's 5 syns a portion?!

@JingleAndTonic the Aldi chicken ones. 1 Syn each. Should have been4 syns not 3. Fat fingers

@MummyInTheNecropolis can I ask how much pesto you get for 3 syns please? Love pesto but didn't think I'd be able to find any low syn ones! I normally make it but it's so much effort

It’s a Syn per teaspoon 5g or 3 per 15g

And I find that’s fine to coat pasta. I add toms and peppers

Having that tom for lunch

Usually have once a week

Ok, I'm not talking about my weekend away, but I walked loads so that must have undone some of the badness right?!
Back on the wagon tomorrow!

Today:

B porridge with raspberries

L jacket potato with tuna mixed with red onion and light mayo, salad

D salmon fillet with stir fry veg

Oh and my weigh in was Fri. 1.5 on

Oh dear @Bluesheep8. Sounds like me week before last. But had eaten out lots

I’m really trying to be good this week. I keep losing and gaining the same few lbs

I know if I stick to it , it works

But I like eating out

And don’t always want chicken steak jacket salad

B toast b beans breakfast fritta which was eggs ham onion pepper

L chicken tom pesto 3 pasta - ffyog 1

T jacket cheese a beans salad mayo 2

S bar 3 crisps 4

Only lost 0.5lb today at weigh in which is SOOOO annoying because I may have sneaky peaked yesterday and it looked like a 3lb off scenario

B - weetabix mini (hexB)
L - Homemade minestrone soup
D - Quorn meatballs (free), pasta and homemade sauce with cheese (hexA x2)

Hello, new week new start!

L - butternut squash soup (4 syns coconut milk as didn't have reduced fat) and a flatbread (HEB)

T - mexican stuffed chicken and spanish omelette - the chicken's from the butcher, it's spicy chicken with cheese and chorizo in the middle so calling it HEA and 4 syn and using the cottage cheese technique and tatties instead of pasta for the omelette (2nd HEA), looking forward to it!

S - dairy milk bar (8 syns) and some fruit

Takes me to 16 syns so 1 over which is unlike me for a Monday, however it does only sit at 1149 cals so it's fine! I don't usually count calories but if I'm having a really high syn day I like to make sure I'll still be in a calorie deficit if it's during the week. Weekends are an entirely different story

But it’s a loss @cherrybakewellll

I lost 1.5lbs. Was hoping for more, but a loss is a loss I guess. Brings my total to just over a stone now which I’m happy with. Had a few treats after weigh in last night which I am not willing to divulge
