[Blondeshavemorefun]

Waves to all

Another new thread

For those who are new, we post our daily sw meals

I find it helps to see what people eat and how they use their a and b and syns

Well I ended up having a McDonalds last night as my DH and DS had one!

Just can't get back on track .

Hi there
I'm newly back to SW and just getting to grips with it again. After years of calorie counting, I sometimes struggle in my head with it but find it so much easier! Would you mind checking over my day? I think I'm on track!

B - boiled eggs and banana
L- couscous chicken salad with mixed beans salad dressing (5 syns)
D- salmon, roast veg and packet of veg rice (1 syn)

Snack- total yoghurt with blueberries and skinny syrup

2x alpen bars = hex. B
Milk for tea and coffee = hex a

@Blondeshavemorefun

Welcome *@waterlane*. Looks good tho you seem low on syns

And allowed 2 a,s

After a Sunday off plan for Mother's Day I was trying to keep the syns low yesterday! I ate more carbs than normal and feel heavy today but I guess it's what you have over the course of the week that matters isn't it

Very true. Think we will all be reining back after Sunday 😂

Yes your day looks pretty good to me too @waterlane

L - tomato soup with melba toasts (3?) and some cheese and onion filler (2)

T - spaghetti carbonara (HEA) with a schar GF ciabatta made into garlic bread (HEB)

S - apple and skinny whip bar (4.5)

Hi waterlane
Looks a good day of food

I am back on plan today!
B- yoghurt banana strawberries and grapes 1/3
L- 2 x bread HEXB, ravioli 3.5, cheese HEXA
D - chilli rice and veg

No speed with lunch as I am fed up of salad

Thanks guys. Do most of you use your syns every day? Do you have 1/3 speed with every meal?

Hiya, welcome waterlane

L-mushroom omelette
D- campfire stew leftovers with green veg

I try to have speed with most meals but only if it make sense. If I'm having something that I don't want speed with like spag Bol I will just pretend it's there so adjust my portion size.
No I don't have all my syns. Unless I'm falling off plan like I did this weekend and then I do!

I do have speed with most meals. Currently fed up with it though
I have 10 to 15 syns a day

I'm a fusspot so tend to include the speedy things in meals, e.g. spag bol = tomatoes, onions, carrots, definitely a speedy meal and try to have a lot of homemade soups with veg in, but otherwise no my plate isn't necessarily always 1/3 salad/veg

I try to stay around the 10 syns region through the week so I can have more treats at weekends

Today's menu:

B- oats with banana
L- chicken salad (5 syns for dressing)
S- ham and mushroom omelette with beans

Alpen light bar 3 syns

So another good day I think but only speed with lunch, probably would've been better to have salad with the omelette as well. I definitely like to save syns for the weekend!

Good day there waterlane
Maybe you could have had some speedy fruit on the side of your breakfast too?

@wildthingsinthenight

Good day there waterlane Maybe you could have had some speedy fruit on the side of your breakfast too?

Yes I thought that, maybe blueberries and strawberries instead of the banana. Sounds silly but I know the little things all add up and help to get good losses!

Your mushrooms count as speed so not completely without it for tea @waterlane! You've got me fancying an omelette now

L - butternut squash, sweet potato and coconut milk soup (HEA for coconut milk) with a coronation chicken sandwich (HEB & 2 syns)

T - cheese and onion omelette (HEA) with beans and SW chips

S - apple, skinny whip (4.5) and quavers (4)

Ah yes good point jingleandtonic! I had blueberries with my porridge today to try to be extra good. I'm a few pounds heavier this week, I reckon it's the weekend catching up with me so trying to be extra good to pull it back, really want to shift the rest of the baby weight now! Coronation chicken sandwich for 2 syns sounds amazing!

You've made me think about a cheese and onion omelette for lunch Jingle Yum

B - yoghurt, banana, strawberries, blueberries, apple
L - cheese and onion omelette, beans, veggie sausages HEXA
D - salmon and pea risotto, veg

Snack - granola square. Syns unknown at the moment!

B toast b ham beans eggs fruit

L chicken pesto 3 pasta pepper onions Tom

T sw chicken korma and rice fruit

Haven’t a clue if it’s nice. Tried a few meals off sw

I maintained my weight this week after a week of going over my syns several times, so trying to be good this week

Yesterday
B 2 hifi bars (HEXB)
L chicken salad, fruit
D egg “muffins” with ham and pepper, cucumber, hummous (1.5)and babybel (HEXA)
S quavers (4.5) and 2 mini kinder bars (7)

Today
No breakfast
L chicken and feta (HEXA) salad
D sea bass, rice, broccoli and baby sweetcorn (2 syns for a tsp of oil)
S quavers (4.5) 2 mini kinder bars (7)

I did the same MadeOfStarStuff

Must be the week for maintaining, me too!

L- bacon asparagus spinach and poached egg
D-chicken curry, lentil Dahl and rice
S and v rice cake (2.5)

It took me ages to get the speed thing. I used to add it as extra rather than replacing some other food with it. I just used to end up with massive plates of food!

troppi Me too. I finally figured it out that it has to be on the side and take the place of some of the main bit of the meal. Not just to add more veg into my mountain of spag bol or whatever!

B - biscoff spread on toast HEXA 3, apple, banana
L - leftover pasta from dinner, big salad
D - Not sure yet!

Finding my weakness is snacks after dinner. If I don't use hex b for breakfast, I can have two bars otherwise I have to syn them. Did have fat free yoghurt first but still craved something sweet, thinking it's probably more a bad habit than anything else!

Well done all the sts :)

Will def buy again
