oh i think i have that recipe dihunney or a very similar one

Chocolate Treats

crush 10 ryvita with a rolling pin, add 4 tablespoons of nuttella that has been warmed for 20 seconds in the microwave. Stir well and spoon in to small bun cases. This should make 28 - 30 choclate treats at 1 syn each

You can have a certain amount of ryvitas as a B choice healthy extra that's for sure, but interestingly the site reckons it's either 2 or 4 which is silly. Will have to see what my book says.

:

In the book, one healthy B

2 Ryvita Original/Dark Rye/ Sesame - High Fibre - Speed food

4 Ryvita Original/Dark Rye/ Sesame - High Fibre

So it looks like you can have 2 or 4, but you will lose weight quicker with only having 2

That's the second mistake i've noticed on the website (the first was a recipe for parsnip and horseradish sauce soup which they reckon is syn free but isn't because of the horseradish sauce!

I couldn't find parsnip and horseradish soup, but I found cauli and horseradish.

One tablespoon of horseradish sauce is 1 syn.

The soup requires one teaspoon and serves 2,

One tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, so each serving of the soup has 1/6 syn, I guess they think it isn't worth worrying about.

Ooo..yes sue i think that's the soup i meant. I know the syns are almost negligable but it still bugs me, especially if you make losts of recipes where the syns are 'negligable' They all add up!

Maybe i need to be less rigid - i'm getting very controlling over what i'm eating at the moment and count every syn where i can!

Just double check the quorn products - I know for sure that the mince is free but some of the others - eg the steak burgers have a syn value. I think if you search Quorn on the syns online it'll bring them up

I used 'mango' this morning and got into the site. I used 'cabbage' all last week, so am a week behind already!
Been bouncing around on the trampoline this afternoon, then the stepper & bike and have stuck well within my allowance. So if this doesn't shift some weight, I'll be despondent.

How many syns in a tiny spider.........................or 2!!!!!!

I had some grapes (bought in a box container), in the fridge for 2 days. Thought earlier I should eat some rather than waste them. Gave them a wash in the colander and was munching away. For some reason I looked at one and there where the stalk meets the grape was a tiny, almost invisable dead spider!
Had a quick check on the rest of the bunch and found another 3 (which I didn't eat!).
I felt sick and threw them out to the birds. YUK!!!!!

omg lilaclillie i would have passed out im terrified of spiders...lol

Passwords usually last longer than a week honey 28, infact they sometimes last for 3 weeks, i also used mango today and got in fine

Just made a lovely healthy dinner, i did indulge in some mash, but ive counted the spuds as a healthy extra, and some syns for the butter, loads of veggies and now i feel like a gr8 big pig hehehe but im stuffed which is good

Hmmmmmmm spiders - are they free on a red day?? :rotfl:

Hello again guys. Not been on here for a bit.
The wedding at the weekend was great. Loads of fun, and lovely to see old friends i hadn't seen in a long time.
Really made me reaslise how embarrassed i am meeting people, being the size i am (especially people i haven't seen in a while).
Weighed myself yesterday (27th), and am now 17.11 :eek:
That's 9lb on since 17th :eek:
So upset!!!!

I've gone on the syn calculator, but can't work out how many syns are in the little chocolates 'Celebrations'.
I have 1/2 a tin left from Xmas and have been tempted to eat 2 today, after the spider shock (take the taste away)
It doesn't tell you how much each one actually weighs on the tin, and I don't have any scales that acurate.
I haven't had any yet but would have liked a treat today.
Looking back on my old WW diary, I got fed up after sticking to the diet and not losing ANY weight for 4 wks, then it was only 1lb.
I remember the leader saying I should eat more, and am beginning to think that may be my problem this last week.
Still need to study the diet online, its like a whole new programme now and I keep refering to my old memory of it.
