7 day plan
So today, hubby and I are starting a 7 day plan to try and shift some pounds. In every issue of the SW magazine, they have a 7 day plan with menus and recipes and even a shopping list for you. The idea is that all of the meals are made of “free foods” and “healthy extras” so there are no “syns” in them, so you can choose your own treats. We thought this may give us a bit more of a kick start as hubby has gained a few pounds this last few weeks and he’s feeling really disheartened.
So today’s menu looks like this:
Breakfast
- 2 weetabix (I may substitute this for porridge as I find it really hard to have weetabix with skimmed milk)
Snack
- 3 Mini Babybel Light Cheeses with Chunks of Apple
Lunch
- 142g grilled place and poached eggs served with new potatoes and peas
Snack
- Fresh pineapple chunks with very low fat natral yoghurt (I’m allergic to pineapple, so I will have some other kind of fruit)
Dinner
- Spicy Quorn curry
Yummy! Everything on there seems really nice! And if everything is free, that may mean there’s some syns left over for pudding!

Going back to my dilemma about my target weight, I found something quite interesting in the SW magazine. I’m 5ft 1in and the target my consultant set me is 9st 7lbs. I’m 2.5lbs away from that, and I know when I reach it, I won’t be happy, which is why I wanted to change it to 9st. The maximum weight for my height I should be is 9st 2lbs, so to me, wanting to get down to 9st isn’t that big a deal.
In the magazine, there was a story about a woman who is 5ft 2in and has got down to 8st 10lbs. So she is taller than me and weighs less. So, what I want to know is why my consultant is trying to talk me out of getting down to 9?? Ultimately, it’s up to me, and when I start my own group, I won’t have my own consultant, so I can choose for myself. Hell, I might even choose to get down to 8st 10lbs. Who knows?
All I know is that it’s my choice.
