thanks for your info on the mugshots ~ i didn't have one in the end "just in case" so had some cold tinned spaghetti hey ho hit the spot & kept me from raiding the biscuit tin

just wondering what do you all have as low syn snacks? I seem to (by some miracle) have some syns left over but am unsure what to spend them on

thanks

I am a massive crisp fan lol so I have crisps of some sort depending on how many syns I have left

Kettle Chips (multipack bag) 7 syns
Monster Munch 6 Syns
Walkers Lights 6 Syns
Quavers 4.5 Syns
Wotsits 5 Syns

BUT I have just discovered Asda's own versions of Quavers, Monster Munch and Wotsits that have the same syn value but are waaaaay cheaper lol you can get 3 x multipakcs of 8 for £3

Or I get the bags of chocolate? you know the ones with mini twirls in etc and I have them, or the little bags of buttons

Or I use some syns on a meriangue and crumble it into a yogurt

There just some of the things I have for my syns on a night time

I am uber struggling at the minute, I started the week well but since tuesday I have eaten nothing but crap!

We even had McDonalds for tea last night

I need to sort myself out, its weigh day on thursday, I am just kicking myself though cos I have been yo-yo-ing, getting so close to getting my 1 Stone and 1/2 award but then putting weight back on again

I need to plan the meals for the next fortnight (we do our shopping fortnightly) and buy food in

I am finding it quite hard as well cos we just moved into our own home and I am used to mam having everything in I needed to make anything.

So I really need to get my head around meals and get in what I need,

I am having a total mind blank on what to have for lunches at work

I have been having Tuna and beetroot for lunch but really need to think of other things to have?

:jWI this morning - 0.25 lb off! Small amount, but right direction.

Keep plodding away at it - if nothing else I'm eating in a much more healthy way, and that can't be bad.

kindofagilr - the only way I've found is to be organised with it all (not my strength) and to have plenty of salady stuff in the fridge. I take a salad every day to work, but vary the contents. It's sometimes a real struggle to sort it the night before, but I am now in a routine with it, which is the key.

I am going to try and drink more water this week and see if this speeds the losses up a bit.

Well done everyone who's lost or STS!

I am only doing EE and I am a body optimse member, working well for me at moment

Well done all, some fab losses this week!!

Just wanted to tell you about the magic porridge!

OMG, it was so yummy!!!
Just mixed a mullerlight (mandarin) with 28g porridge oats in a bowl & left in the fridge overnight.....in the morning nom nom nom, it was lovely, kept me full fo longer than porridge usually does. I really suggest you try it. I only found ou about this as we had a different consultant covering who suggested it to people who were STS to change things around a bit, surprising how many SW members hav 2 weatabix for brekkie, by alternating it a bit, with magic porridge for example, it can get your weight loss moving again!!

I reccomend you all try it! :j

Wil try the porridge - would it work with any yoghurt do you think?

Having a weird day today. Ate brunch at a friends - lots of fresh fruit, dried meat, cottage cheese a bit of brie and a cup of coffee.
Felt hungry on the way home so ate crisps (7 syns) and then wolfed a pasta salad (the syns calculator put it at 4 syns). So looks like an EE day for me.

I think I didn't eat enough at lunch and now feel all wobbly and weak. Will not break out the chocolate though - just waiting for DH so we can have BBQ meat and salad.

this is the first day when I feel I haven't managed too well as I've let myself get hungry.

Yeah would work with any yogurt, just make sure its a free one so you only have to use your B choice for the porridge oats. Good idea for EE days when your dont wanna lose your A on brekkie but want it for tea through the day. Might work better wih a lullerlight tho because its a bit bigger then a normal yogurt...if you know what i mean!

Looking forward to brekkie 2moz already!!

Not sure if iv mentioned it already but the spinach & ricotta pasta in this months magazine.....its SOOOOO yummy!
1st time I made it I didnt realise the ricotta would be an B and not a A so had to syn it instead. Well worth giving it a go tho!!

Hey all

Is it okay to very occasional save up one day's HE's for use the next day?

Tomorrow I am taking the young people I work with hill walking. We all need to bring a (substantial) packed lunch. Normally on SW I have salad with pasta/rice/potatoes plus muller light yog and fruit for lunch - i do green days only as I'm veggie. But I was thinking that as I have only had one HEA and one HEB today, then I could save the 2nd lot to use tomorrow so I can have 2 x Cheese (HEA) wholemeal bread rolls (HEB), plus Shreddies (HEB) and milk (HEA) for breakfast.

Would this be okay to do just for one day? Or should I syn the extra cheese and roll?

I don't normally eat my 2 x HEA/B every day of the week anyways, especially the HEB.
