Will go slightly off plan today off - hubbys birthday. I am making a SW curry but with have 3 small 'indian nibbles' a few mini poppodoms, some naan bread followed by a small individual Tirimasu and a couple of glasses of wine. :really
I may add up the syns later. :rofl
Hoping that if I limit syns over next 4 days until weigh in I will at least maintain?
I have been giving SW 100% recently and given up sweets, chocolate, crisps, biscuits and cakes for Lent and only seen a small loss in all those weeks :que
Have a good Easter everyone.

Just back from SW weigh in and another 0.5lb off for me this week. :D
Very pleased as I had hubbys birthday on Friday and then some nibbles including a few choocies and some crisps over the weekend - it goes to show that if I can keeep things in moderation I can still lose.
Hope evryone is having a good week.

Well done Irene! Especially over easter and with hubbies birthday!

We've discovered the tefal acti fry, makes 3 decent portions of chips with 1 tbsp of oil! Works out about 2 syns per person if doing it between 3 people, makes other things as well. Chips are every bit as nice as those done in a normal frying pan.

Hi
Have heard lots of reviews all excellent about the Actifry - don't think hubby would be happy if I bought another itchen appliance. :rofl
Seriously I hardly ever eat chips - nothing to do with SW.
I use my slow cooker a lot - going to do another pot of the 12 super speed vegetable soup today - delicious.
Also remembered my mum gave me a GF grill - must get it down from the cupboard.
Have a good week.

Well done everyone :)
I've re-joined the gym and been really good on slimming world and gained 1lb :cry really don't understand it!
Wondering if it's because I've been obsessing on the diet, so had a chippy tea to cheer myself up :rofl

Well done Irene!! Well I have managed to start eating seeded wholemeal bread and keeping it down so I really fancied prawn sandwiches the other day and it was gorgeous. Trying to eat as sensibly as possible so it wont be too hard to lose after baby is born. Not long now and think I might be slowly talking hubby round to going to Cyprus at the end of September :yikes So really need make sure I still dont look pregnant incase we do go.

Hi Lindsay
So glad to hear you are 'fancying things' and they are staying down.
We have just booked to go back to Cyprus on 11th August - This year I will be at my target - only 12lbs to go but it is taking ages.

Hi Irene, I knew you would get addicted to Cyprus!! I am so trying to persuade hubby to let us go with my parents in September/October but he keeps saying it will be hard work with Caleb at 3.5yrs and a baby at 3 months!! Today he said this volcano ash could last for 2 years!!! If I have an incentive I could lose at least a stone before the holiday!!

I went to WW Monday and had lost 1.5 lbs but only because I've been ill and haven't felt like eating (plus the fact I can't taste a thing :( ). My taste buds seem to be a tiny bit better today so I've been eating anything and everything I can lay my hands on to see what I can taste :rofl .

Going to WW for my weigh in tomorrow when I expect to have gained a couple of pounds :( . Have lost 16 lbs over quite a few months but cant seem to get into diet mode :rofl . Lost my sense of taste and smell a couple of weeks ago but they have returned and so has my appetite. Got a night out this week but after that aiming for a loss of 2 lbs per week. Wish me luck!! Gx
