The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part IX - The One With A Wedding and Some Weightloss

[grinningbee]

Here we are again - new thread time! Can you believe we're on our 9th one?

I've been down to DFS and got us some new squidgy sofas. Feel free to add anything else you like

good luck kid. Organisation is SO difficult isn' it.

I have just emptied out the cupboard under the stairs. It was a mistake.

much excitement though - I am getting a piano delivered later (from freecycle)

Omg, I just fell face first into a box, not a packet, of cream crackers....

Haha FHF :o did you manage to get out alive?
Good luck for WI today kid :)

Luckily I did! Hadn't ate since 1pm and had a 4 hr meeting from 6 til 10pm.

Came home & the cupboard was bare!! Had low fat super noodles & about 10 cream crackers.

Am out for a meal tonight.

Damage limitation is a key phrase for me this week!!!

How'd WI go kid?

Wi revealed that I'm still under my highest weight. Not y a huge amount but I'm still under it, phew!

I'll do my best tomorrow but we have people coming for dinner. I'll be cooking a beef joint along with potatoes, veg and stuffing. Maybe I'll do some extra veg for me and go easy on the potatoes and stuffing.
I saw a photo of me today, I'm not impressed with it. Had I known it was going to be taken, I would have breathed in

Great news kid!! Always good to see where you're at!

I had meal out last night, food hasn't been great since Thursday, so I need to pull my horns in and start keeping track again, have had meals out and a box of cream crackers to tempt me

But am planning on food optimising 100% from now til weigh in!!!

3lb down here. Mega pleased with it. Only challenge now is fricking star week and I WANT crisps and snacks and chocolate and garlic bread and stuff I should steer clear off. So far I've been strong and resisted.

Tonight we had SW roasties. Him Indoors declared them "shit". He cooked them! I thought they were pretty good.

Oh and I've been sabotaged! Thought I picked up Alpen Lights. Nooooo bloody normal choc and nut at 6.5syns EACH.

just logging in, with no SW progress to report.

I am, as usual, feeling down, and completely overwhelmed by the tasks I have set myself to finish before xmas, and am already behind, and struggling to re-establish a connection with sis, as obviously she is making much more contact now than she was doing... but it's very hard - she doesn't have a monopoly on problems IYSWIM.

uncle having a home assessment visit with the hospice tomorrow, which is good, but they are talking of friends and neighbous "rallying round" - there is only my parents who can be bothered spare the time, and it's overnight that he seems to need the most support.

add all this to a cracking headache I can't shift.

OH WOE IS ME!!!

Oh no silversky :( but yay at another loss, you're doing really well :)
Like FHF I need to stick to plan 100% until WI as I have been naughty all weekend

Oh ria, x-posted, so sorry you're having a crap time :( virtual and (syn free versions of course )

Have been hiding as I have been stuffing my face :(

Of course you'll still be welcome to come and tell us off chocolate!

I've done well so far today, it's so much easier when I'm at work, but its another story when at home. But, hopefully dinner will be fine, I've got chicken out for me which i'll wrap in bacon and I'll have a jacket potato with it and some salad, maybe. Hopefully I'll be able to resist everything between now and bedtime.
Why is it so hard?
I've treated myself to Tracker today, that the only syns I've had so far and I assume they are about 6 syns or so?

Choc of course you can sty :)
I need you to bully encourage me

I mean stay of course stupid tablet doesn't like me typing on mn unless i use the app but browsing/ reading is better done from the web. anyway, now I'm on the app I'll write more!
Choc - staying with us on here will hopefully keep you accountable for the next few weeks, guarding against piling on any extra pounds
I haven't been very good today either, a friend came over for lunch and brought some gorgeous cookies with her! BUT I have jacket pots for tea,, a salad for work tomorrow and a light tunic and leggings to wear to WI

Well, I was being really good but when I went to get DS from school, 4 mentos fell own my mouth when I wasn't paying attention. It's all ds's fault, he was 25 minutes late from a trip so I had to hang around waiting for him.
Then, when I got in, I had to check that the heroe chocolates I had bought weren't stale. I did only eat one so I did well not to check one of each chocolate.

Dinner is on now so hopefully I'll be ok, for a while anyway!

panic not kid, just syn them and carry on.

'spose you can stay choc

V tired - up at 6.30 icing mini xmas cakes, scrubbed the filthy sofa, then helping with the school fayre all afternoon, which also ended up costing me a small fortune (and I've hurt my back). Won a lovely raffle prize though - family ticket to panto in town. And had a phonecall this morning- I won paintballing tickets on a raffle we entered at a museum on Saturday! Do good things come in threes too or is it just bad ones?

H and I having wine and supermarket curry tonight - I've earned it!

Does anyone know how many syns are in the fruit mentos sweets? I think the heroes are 2 syns each.
I really should work out syn value before I eat the food.

Okay, I'm not too bothered as after a good search, it would appear they are only 1/2 syn for 2 fruit mentos. Maybe I should have them more often as they are far better than biscuits.

Sorry for repeatedly posting short messages. I'm not doing so bad after all as my syns for the day are
Chic chip tracker bar =6 syns
4 fruit mentos sweets =1 syn
1 heroes sweet = 2 syns
Total (so far) = 9 syns.

Sounds like you are on a winning streak lady, quick, put the lottery on!

Arrrr thanks guys

Heroes I think are 2.5 syns Kid - you deserve a medal for only eating one!!! the tin of Roses in work had a bit of a bashing from me earlier, thank god i finished early today or it would have been much worse!

Ria just in case it does come in three's can you share your lottery numbers with me

I probably would have had more than one if there were any decent ones left!
We've only got the twister creme egg ones, eclairs and caramel. I think I ate all the twirls last week oops!

Evening all.
I think TDT must have spiked the London water before she left as I have just got a BFP as well....along with an insatiable appetite so trying to make sure its more super free than not I'm shovelling in reaches for the celery sticks

well done ria !! I managed to win a box of chocolate eclairs in the last raffle I entered, not so SW friendly as your prizes
