hi there,ive got some books from ebay..what books would you recommend for counting everyday syns list/ready made food syns?
thank you!:beer:

You need the food directory for that, but it always goes for stupid money on eBay. They are £6.95 in group.

Do you think homemade chicken stock (made without any fat) is free on green and red?
i've got some in the fridge and fancy making risotto tonight but i'm on a green day...

angie_loves_veg

gosh, its quiet here today.

npsmama - I wuold use it on either day if you have chilled and skimmed any fat that surfaces. Chicken and beef bovril are superfree, so I would count the homemade equivalent at superfree also.

sorry if I'm too late....

I have only had chips once this last year (don't do green days) and after reading about this on the OS board http://www.tefalactifryuk.co.uk/compare_Tefal_ActiFry_prices.asp , bought one today.
Tonight we had chips 1kg in weight made with 1 tablespoon of oil.
I must quickly add I didn't eat the whole 1 kg
I really enjoyed them and feel very full and satisfied now.
It cook loads of food almost fat free, so I am hoping its going to be a good investment to my diet.

Please be careful. I loved my actifry and the chips were gorgeous. Then yesterday it exploded, today I had my money back. Look at this

Hello all - haven't been on for a while. Regular SW fans will know that, I HAVE "PLATEAUED" FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS and it was getting me down.

Watching the pennies like everyone else on here and have now stopped going to SW classes. I have been going for nearly a year so they haven't done bad out of me.;)

I have joined an exercise group (just once a week) and we have a good workout which I really enjoy. So I'm spending my money on this instead of SW. I also still walk and cycle so am concentrating on feeling fit and IF any more weight comes off that will be a bonus. :j

I am still following the SW eating plan because I do feel good on it. I plan to weigh myself just once a week at home.

I still feel disappointed that my SW consultant was not much help to me (despite being a long term member who stayed for the whole session, which many don't.)

I shall still look in and see how all the "old names" are doing and how much weight you've lost. :A

like you I haven't been here for ages but pop in now and again to read some posts. I only weigh myself at home like you and no longer go to classes. I was horrified to read that your consultant wasn't helping you/giving you advice. That is awful. good luck.

Hey all - just catching up on the thread - I have been away eating the most delicious gluten-free food ever (but not Food Optimising for one minute...ooops....).

Flat Eric - I know I'm a bit late - but can I just say that you are the most impressively organised person ever! I read your list of steps you were taking - wow! :T

I might be to late nic if you've already gone but if she's a snob I'd take the cakes but put them in a container rather than take the packet, wait till she likes them then tell her they're WW

I thought of that lol, but ended up taking some posh cookies intending to just have one. But when I got there turns out she has given up cakes and biscuits for lent, so they stayed in the bag and ill give them to my sister when I see her tomorrow. In the end I only had a coffee

The things I learned last night -


That it is a good thing gin is 2.5 syns rather than wine at 6 syns, and that slimline tonic is free.

That in a 'rounds' situation, you end up drinking more than you planned to.

That there is a good reason I am not yet hungover - because I am still probably drunk.

That chinese food in a group situation is never as good as it should be.

I (think) I had 10 G&T last night. That will be 25 syns. If I had had wine it would have been 60 syns :eek:

I am back on track today. promise :A

have a nice sunday y'all
