Well done to everyone who lost tonight/ so far this week.
I lost 4.5 lbs myself, it is my first weigh in, and I am pretty chuffed as have done diet before and did not expect such a high loss in first week especially as aunty flo arrived this afternoon.
Have to say only time I am hungry is late afternoon, anyone got any low syn sweet ideas (excluding pieces of fruit and mullerlights, already use these but need some variety).

Do they need to be portable? I was thinking sugar-free jelly (0.5syns) or the free lemon meringue? Curly Wurly - 6 syns and if its frozen it lasts longer! Sugar-free gum to tied you over? Some are 0.5syn for 4 pieces.
You can have two Alpen Light bars as a HEb or 3 syns each, or a Hi-Fi bar from class?

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to post your losses and meal plans - they do help so much:T :T

I only post a couple of times a week but I read this thread twice a day and read every single post and find you all to be so helpful and kind.

This week was my third weigh in and I lost 3lbs - taking me to 8lbs in 3 weeks. Im very pleased with that and much of it is down to ideas and help on here.

THANKS x

In a seperate bowl, whisk the egg whites vigorously until the mixture forms peaks and they hold their shape, whisk in the last of the sweetener.

As for sweet ideas, my group are always keen on 'ferrero rocher' essentially scan bran or riveta crushed and held together with nutella. I think they work out around 1 syn each (as opposed to 4 syns each for the real thing!) but I don't have a recipe - I think there might be one on the website though...

I make a mousse by whisking jelly (cold but not set) with muller lights...

In the summer (and why not in January too!) you can make lollies with sf squash / sf lemonade / low cal bitter lemon / mullers etc...

The other day there was a recipe for 'weetabix cake' posted here - about 3 syns a piece IIRC ...

apparently freezing grapes is quite exciting (!)
