Hi all

sorry I have not been around much lately but have had some stuff going on in our family life. And today... well it is not good. My dad has been having cancer treatment and we have just heard that there is no longer anything that can be done, so we are bringing him home.
Afraid as a result have not been concentrating on the diet - but on the good side have not put any back on so still 7lb down. However there Easter target is a no hoper at the mo.

Will get back online when feeling back on track. Well done to all you lot and catch up again at a later date.

Jan and Lee - lots of [grouphug] [grouphug] for you all - we'll all be thinking of you. Take care

[fiona]

So sorry to hear of your news Jan, [grouphug] - it's a horrible, horrible thing, will be thinking of you.

Good news for me, went to the doc today and my blood pressure is down to normal for the first time in 10 years[clap] - so I must be doing something right[angel] (ha!![msnwink]). He thinks I must strive on stress, but I can't come off my tablets this side of his retirement (he's about 5 years older than me ...) then he decided when I had less stress in my life ... when my darling gals have left home[msnsmile].

Just off to the office, taking my bulghar wheat salad and carrot & coriander soup with me.

Have a good day all.

[canarypam]

So sorry to hear your bad news Jan[grouphug][grouphug].

Jan so sorry about your very sad news[grouphug][grouphug][grouphug][grouphug]

Elaine here are the changes I would make to your food diary (I know it was not the best diary but I am looking at it clinically[grouphug])

Brunch - WM Nimble toasted (HE B) with marmalade (2 syns)<span style="color:red">I would swap this for something more nutritious ie: porridge, weetabix, shredded wheat, with/or fruits with natural very low fat yogurt, or scrambled eggs/omelette with eggs they are free foods on both days</span id="red">
Tea - Pasta Bolognese (mince HE B) and sauce and half a crusty white roll (5 syns)<span style="color:red">Again I would get rid of the white crusty bread as it does nothing for you and is not a good use of your syns. If this is a green day which I am guessing it is as the mince was HE, I would make a quorn mince that way you could have as much as you like and save the HE for some thing else[msnwink] </span id="red">
Strawberries, muller light and a meringue nest (2.5 syns)
21g Maltesers (5.5 syns)

<span style="color:red">The key to SW is to make the power of free foods work for you and to have 80% of your daily intake from free foods, 15% from HE's and 5% from syns.

I would also make sure I was drinking plenty of water, have much more fruit, and where are your HE A's? You need to be having some yog, cheese or skimmed milk for calcium.

What kind of drinks do you have?</span id="red">


Total Syns - 15 <span style="color:red">to speed up weight loss I would also limit my syns to approx 10 per day[msnwink]</span id="red">

Hope this helps??[msnsmile]

Hi Pam, no probs at all[msnsmile2]

<span style="color:red">It all looks pretty good to me Pam, but I will be ultra critical[msnwink]</span id="red">

Hi Fi Bar (HEB)
Breast of chicken <span style="color:red"> With or without skin? How was it cooked</span id="red">with salad <span style="color:red"> any dressing</span id="red">
Large steak <span style="color:red">How was it cooked</span id="red">jacket spud<span style="color:red"> no butter or spread - well done if no</span id="red">(HEB) salad<span style="color:red"> any dressing</span id="red">
Milk for tea (HEA)<span style="color:red"> how much exactly? Remember HE"s must be weighed and measured and you need to have enough that's why they are called Healthy extras[msnwink]</span id="red">
3 large glasses of water (so far)<span style="color:red">[clap][clap][clap] aim for 2 litres a day[msnwink]</span id="red">
I am saving my syns for a couple of glasses of wine tonight.<span style="color:red">I don't blame you[clap][clap][clap]</span id="red">

<span style="color:red">It all looks good to me Pam, if it was me I would have saved my HiFi for my evening snack but that's just my preference, but if you are having wine will you get the munchies?? I would also maybe add some more fruit for after my evening meal and maybe a snack later[msnwink] How many syns will you end up having?? Over all its a very good diary[msnwink]</span id="red">

Thanks Julie

Chicken bought from hot food at supermarket so rotisserie I remove the skin myself. Salad - just vinegar.

Jacket potato no dressing

I have measured my milk and it allows me about 8-10 cups per day and I usually drink that on a work day! Boredom!

Steak is grilled.

I don't actually get hungry after dinner even if I'm drinking wine but I get very hungry at work so I like to have plenty of fruit and snacks there.
