SW Breakfast

Keeping it simple this morning!

Bacon - no fat, syn free sausages, scrambled egg and chopped tomatoes.
Just 2 syns for my HP sauce!

Lovely and filling start to the day!

Face To Face Friday!

#facetoface #facetofacefriday 3 stone difference in pictures.

I seem to lose weight from my face before anywhere else so I can't see a massive difference like I thought I would! Still, heading in the right direction!

Weigh Day!

So last night I lost 1lb. I know some people would feel deflated after being on plan aaaaalllll week. But i'm not, and this is why...

I was using Kingsmill 400g wholemeal loaf as my he B choice most days as I would have soup or a sandwich at lunch, something made me check it yesterday and I found out it was no longer a B choice and they were 3 syns each, which meant I had been going WAY over on my syns! Was actually expecting a gain so I think to get a loss is a miracle! It's definately worth checking every so often guys even if just to protect your losses!
I also bought this new book for some new inspiration and ideas, hoping to batch cook some treats and soup this weekend to help me stay on track!

Lunch time!

I made a soup using one of those prepped vegs packs from asda, and it was vile! would definately rather make my own! so having to use ALL my fruit, blancmange and yoghurt for my lunch today! Feeling good and staying on plan!

Weekends & Not Being Well

Saturday was my hardest day this weekend, I really wanted to just eat rubbish because I felt rubbish. Even though I knew it wouldnt make me feel better. Instead I managed to throw together some pasta and meatballs and made enough for 3 portions which have already gone! Packed full of speed and thoroughly enjoyed it. Desperately want to be in the next stone range on Thursday! Got a zumba class tonight, first time for everything!

Weigh In

So last night I weighed in, I was hoping to shift the 4lb I gained from my hols, I only got 2.5lbs but I was happy as I've had no appetite for half of the week due to being ill so I'm suprised I didn't gain!

Want 2lb next week to be the lightest I've been in years!

Time for new recipes and to get back to the gym!

Biscuit Fix!

Decided to make a few new things to mix it up a bit. First on my list was these lovely biscuits from the Christmas book, I didnt decorate them so they are only approx 1 syn each and great for dipping in your brew!

Options Hot Chocolate

I love these! for 2 syns each theyre amazing for treating a sweet tooth! Loving the new flavours!

New Hifi Bar!

Info released today, in group 19th October apparently!

Mayflower Curry - Beef

My other half fancied a chinese beef curry, I have to say I was reluctant to make it as I don't often cook with beef but it was yummy! 4 syns each for the mayflower Curry Sauce but SO worth it! Everything else was free!

Official Holiday Gain

So after being shocked I had gained just under 8lbs on Saturday I am ecstatic with just a 4lb official gain from my jollies, considering I missed 2 weigh ins so really it is only 2lb a week.

Hopefully that will be off in no time!
Back on plan and 1 st 4 lbs to lose by Christmas, I hope!

Doner and Chicken

My main thing since coming back off my holidays is my lack of appetite. I'm not saying I didn't eat but the heat definately affected my appetite. Wasn't feeling like eating much but at the same time was really craving a dirty kebab. Made the healthier version instead and scoffed the lot! Syn Free Doner and Syn Free Tandoori Chicken! Couple of syns for the mayo!

Tandem Sky Dive

So on 5th September 2015, I jumped out of a plane for Ovarian Cancer Action, raising close to £700 for charity and taking my fundraising total to way over £3,000 for them. I wouldn't have been able to do it without losing the weight with SW as when I started I was over the heaviest limit. But after 6 months on SW I was finally able to jump, comfortably, and tick it off my bucket list. Here are some of my photos from the day, would recommend to anyone!

Holiday Blues

Apologies for the gap in posts! I only got back from Javea, Alicante late on Friday night! Weighed myself on Saturday morning and have gained approx 7lbs!!! Got until Thursday to try and pull some back so stocking up on speed soup and fruit!! Enjoyed myself but definately feeling better now I'm not having bread at every meal! xx

Interim Target

Wanted to get to my interim before my holiday next Wednesday and I'm pleased to report I did! 

I'll be away for the next two weigh ins so lets hope my gain isn't massive!

Spag Bol

It's so good when your other half produces SW friendly meals like this. Yummy!

New me

2st 8 difference. Can't believe how awesome I'm feeling at the moment. I go on holiday a week tomorrow and I will be going 1st 8lb lighter than I would if I hadn't have joined SW in March! 

Couldn't be happier with how far I've come!
