The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part VII - Slipping Sylphlike Towards Summer

[grinningbee]

Ah yes, it's that time again. New list, new decor. Same comfy chairs though

So, pull up a chair, settle in and make yourselves at home

Yes, I've been having two slices of 400g wholemeal.

well i went for my run and done my weights and a few tricep dips ( i have a lovely shift dress i want to wear for my birthday night out) and really need toned arms to make it look good iyswim.

I have also added a mini magnum to my food list 8.5 syns so a total of 11 syns today whch is alot as im trying to keep them between 5 and 8 per day.

My exercise for the day was painting, it really hurt. Probably because I was balancing at the top of the ladder while doing the cutting in around the ceiling.

I'm now laying on the settee shivering and hoping someone takes pity on me and gets me a blanket, a cup of tea and makes dinner for me. I don't see myself in the kitchen cooking any time soon.

My dc went out at 11am. They popped back for lunch at 12:30 and went straight back out afterwards. They aren't home yet, I hate it. They are 10 and 13, we live in central London. Should I let them have so much freedom or am I being a worry guts?!

I've only had 3 PMs. Another small list?

I'm skipping the list this week cheese. Didn't make it to class, but def looking at a gain . Will miss it next week too, as won't have access to class or reliable scales.

Did you not give your kids a time to be back by? BTW a little of living in central anywhere, especially London! I am sure they're back now anyway, I started this post at about 2pm and only just finishing it now.

Well done all exercisers, and good luck for DoD!

Not sure if I can remember everything I ate in the last week, but on an average day-
B- 2 bacon, 2 egg and a pear
L- leftover Free food from yesterday's tea, eg chilli (made with masses of veg) and rice, a fairly small portion, more fruit
Snack- more fruit
D- something like a chicken traybake, made with lots of veg and potatoes and, er, chicken. Maybe a Muller Light and more bloody fruit.
Evening- 2 weetabix (HEB)

Most days I had fewer than 5 syns. As you can see I ate A Lot but all sw stuff. Bear in mind however I am heavier than all of you put together, 19.3 at last count, so that is probably the clincher.

Oh goodie....just PM'd Cheese so not too late for list!
Debka I am in complete awe of you!

Made SW truffles for tasting night tonight and OMG they were amazing!

Dc came back at 6:30, they were obviously hungry
They did think they were going back out after dinner but i said no. They've spent 8 hours at the park today. Think I'll go and spy on them tomorrow just to see what the fascination is.

I didn't wi this morning which is why there is no pm from me. I've not eaten much today and my jeans aren't any tighter so I'll suggest I've sts!

List will be done in 10min or so!

Cheese I can't see how to pm you from my mobile so heres my weigh in. Lost 1.5lb this week achieving my 2st award and an extra 0.5lb for good measure. Total loss 2st 0.5lb.

Come on cheesey, I need to go to bed but want to see my name in sparkly lights at the top of the list first!

crumbs, scroll to the top of the page and you should see link for 'inbox'. Click that and you'll be able to send pm from phone, I think.

Sparkly 7lbs loss and total 5stone loss goes to debka. Thats fooking amazing.
Sparkly 2 stone sticker to bra thats fab-u-lous
dot you are so close to your 2 stone sticker, keep going!

CSWS your presence is missed, you normally are near the top of the table!

debka, can I be nosey and ask how long you have been doing SW to achieve that fab total loss?

and target memebers - how much have you lost in total over how long? (if you don't mind me asking)

I really struggle with focussing on losing half or one stone at a time, instead of the full amount I want to lose, and seeing proof it can be done helps a bit (I need DH to "get" why I have a cupboard full of SW magazines!)

well done on the list anyway

I think kid, re your DC, you know them and how much you can trust them, so go with your instinct. I have always been a bit uptight, DS2 and 3 have more freedom than DS1 ever did (and that isn't much BTW, they are allowed to play on the front path when I am in the kitchen where I can see them, though they occassionally disappear to the park - along the grassy path behind the house, near my mums - with friends who live nearby) DS1 vanishes without a particular plan quite often, but he only ever goes to his friends or to the cricket pitch, and he always has his phone. Hope someone looked after you and that you feel better soon.

sorry, rambling. tiring day, and I had a very disturbed night dreaming about having a slanging match with exBIL, and random dreams about cupcakes buns!!!

Wow well done everyone :)
Thanks kid for the inbox tip, I was looking for a 'message poster' on the blue bar of each post like on the big website version and I forgot about doing it through inbox [remembers that's how it always used to be and feels thick for forgetting]

No problem crumbs, it took me ages to realise you could message poster from the mobile site. Glad I'm not the only one who didn't know how to do it.

I have name changed slightly for Easter was morecoffeeholdthecake.

Well, debka, I am aiming for a really good loss next week and will follow your tips! I weigh in tommorow and hope I loose or at least maintain this week but suspect a possible gain

I am planning on trying out red and green days this week instead of just extra easy. I am also planning on using my syns solely on Easter eggs this week!

Well done on the losses this week :)

Ooh I like the name change morecoffee.blooming heck I'm tired, just today and tomorrow to go in work. In laws arrive today
Food:
B: fruit and yog
Snacks: 2x alpen light bars
L: chicken tikka (3.5syns) and cous cous salad, fruit
D: chicken and bacon creamy pasta, made with quark and parmesan (HEA)

HAve a good day all!

Just wrote a long post and it bloody vannished! Grrrrr

Any hoo i must have the recipe for SW truffles, sounds delish.

Well done to the losers, im crossing my fingers for my target loss for this week only to eat it all back again in bread since lent is over on sunday

Today will be;

B - ham omlette
L - tuna and cracker bread and salad proberbly
D - roast chicken, veg and gravy 2.5syns for gravy and 2 for mash and prob another 2.5 for a wee yorkshire pud which will be a total of 6.5 syns today.

No exercise as such planned for today but having a day with my wee boy taking him swimming then out for a spot of lunch since i took dd out to see grease and for dinner on sat (although she keeps trying to convince him to go to nanas and bake with her so she dosent miss out on swimming!).

ria I've been going 6 months now, but I was a massive beast of a woman before, now slightly less so! I started in a size 26 , now in a slightly less embarrassing 20.

morecoffee best of luck with the weight loss this week, especially with easter in the middle!

kid and ria my two are 3 and 1 but I think I'm already scarily lax, we live in the country on the same plot as my parents (imagine a fenced off field with a big house and a bungalow and a drive with always-open gates, we live in the bungalow), and my girls are always wandering around outside, even the 1yo! Different when it's the big wide world though, I imagine it's hard to know where to draw the line.

off to the show and the in-laws today, see you all on Tuesday, wish me luck....

Well Debka I think youre amazing

Well done to all the losers! I'm hoping easter wont be too bad for me - I've told the OH Id rather have a lovely bunch of tulips than chocolate so lets hope he listens(and I can avoid the billions of eggs that other people will give my DC)

Oh the truffles are so good!
Let me see if I can cut and paste the recipe on the phone!

Food today
B: crispbread as was out very early
L: will be vegetable soup(when the old un gets her wrinkly behind out of the kitchen)
D: SW quiche with salad and wedges

Ria I lost 3st and 11lb in total and it took about a year I really slowed in the last 6 months. I am currently on a biscuit feast and I need to STOP! Or I will undo all my good work .

kid I let ds1 out on his own but he just hangs out in our cul-de-sac with his fello urchins mates, they have never expressed any desire to go further. I do not let ds2 (3 yrs) out unless DH or I go out too , my neighbours seem happy to have their 2/3 yrs olds outside unsupervised but there are a few people that drive down here like it is a race course so I would not be happy doing that.

We are off to Norfilk few the weekend, so have a good bank hol peeps and I will see you when I get back

enjoy the weekend

debka - how tall are you am wondering if we are similar.

had a lovely day out at the coast. snow and sunshine within a few miles, and we have neither at home.

we are going to have to Stay At Home tomorrow. I could get used to going out and having fun. But I need to tidy up if we are to invite my parents round on Monday (it is DS1s birthday, and being 15 he is not fussed, but I was wondering about doing a "proper" child-like party tea for him (my Dad's favourite) I will build up to it over the weekend!

Body clock all over the place after a couple of night shifts this week and I can't sleep, so thought I'd come on here! [busmile] lost another 1lb last night at group,which I'm happy about. Total loss 9lbs in 5 weeks. Want a bigger loss next week so doing some red, green and ee days over next 7days. I'm allowing myself 50g choc (12.5syns) a day so that I can have my Easter choc fix [bugrin]
