Doing a bit of digging... a WW oval pizza is 3.5 points or 8 syns... so I'm thinking if a PE pizza is 7.5 points, it must work out around the 18 syns mark... minus 6 syns if you count the cheese as a HE? So 12 syns. Is that logical? My brain hurts....

I keep seeing "minus x syns if you count *** as a HE" and you know, I don't really think that's following the plan.

In order for something to be counted as a HE, Slimming World put a great deal of thought into how much of the product is necessary to perform the function it's intended for (eg: the amount of fibre necessary in a HEB...which is why there's often a Ryvita or something added to the basic item).

It's fine as long as you're still losing weight I suppose, but in order to maximise your weight loss and the health benefits, you shouldn't really be tweaking the plans.

If you "minus 6 syns and count the cheese as a HE" you don't know how much cheese is on top of the pizza, so how will you know if you're following the plan. Much better to syn it as it stands and have a proper amount of HE as well.

Have had a fairly good weekend and determined to have a good week this week. So plan is:
B. marions rice with natural yougurt and stewed blueberries (YUM!)
L. jacket potato with cottage cheese, hardboiled egg and tomato
D. Griddled herby chicken with roasted veg/potatoes (done in fry light) and brocolli

snacks - fruit, yogurt or small bowl HM veg soup
HEA - milk for tea/coffee
HEB - slice WM bread to go with soup

Syns - might try not to if I'm not hungry. Is that a good or bad idea - sounds a stupid question on the face of it I admit but not sure exactly on the rules for this. Do any of you carry them over occasionally? Is it best to have a few syns a day to keep metabolism up? Sorry for the questions but don't want to get it all wrong!!

Thanks

Morning Ladies (I don't think there are any men here are there? If there are then Good morning to you too!!)

I had a lovely birthday yesterday and was thoroughly spoiled which was nice.
We went for a meal to Pizza Express on Saturday evening with the girls and I chose a salad - think it was called the Nostrada (sp) which was really nice, I didn't intend to eat the bread strips but did in the end and also had an ice cream glory for dessert (hmmmmmmmmm - how many syns in that I wonder??) so was a bit naughty but was on the plan ( I think) yesterday so am not going to stress about it.

Yesterday I had
B-Marion's rice with banana muller and chopped banana
L-Jacket potato with Egg Mayo using a tbs of Hellmans Light
D- Salmon with tagliatelle and blue dragon chilli dipping sauce, (2 syns - 2 tbs) s/free jelly and mullerlight

HEB x2 - salmon
HEA - milk in tea/coffee
Syns - 2 for sauce, 1 for jelly, 2.5 gin and slimline tonic
Was working on a green day - does this look OK?

Plan for today - EE
B- Fruit and Mullerlight
L- Butternut squash soup, slimming world quiche with bacon, mushrooms, sweetcorn and potato.
D- Lamb chops with jacket potato, broccoli, cabbage

HEa - milk in tea/coffee
HEb - not decided yet!

Hope everyone has a good day

I just weighed myself and Ive lost another 5lbs WOO, and me and my mate are doing our meausrements once a month and across all of my measurements (including upper and lower arms and legs and knees and things) I have lost a grand total of 46cm across my whole body! wooooooo for extra easy!

though I have to say, I make a lot of homemade sauces and Im really starting to feel sad about how badly onions and garlic fry in the olive oil fry lite! maybe I should sacrifice my bread or cereal and have my olive oil as HE b, I can do that right?

anywho yesturday I had:

macrel & homemade tom sc on 1 slice of toast (heb)
tea & milk (hea)

cooked processed chicken to snack on & a can of diet coke, 4 glasses of water

lots of banana & strawberrys whizzed up with natural yogurt & a bit of sweetner

sunday roast (grilled chicken, slimming world roasties, loads of boiled veg, home made gravy with onions & mushrooms & garlic & 1 knorr chicken stock cube, bit of tomatoe puree)

today:
breaky: 2 pcs WM bread toasted with 2 laughing cow light triangles (HEA), & a barroca vitamin fizz with water.

strawberrys & peach muller light snack, 2 bottles of water (500ml)

pasta & homemade tom Sc 2 laughing cow light triangles (How many a day am I allowed of these for a HE??? is it 6, or is that the Extra Light ones?)

tea:
ill defrost some homemade veg soup that I cooked last week and have that, (Quite busy this evening)

anyway have a wonderful day guys and gals XXX

I don't get the syns calculator! I just put mullerlight and Aldi optifit into it and they came out with syns and I thought they were free! I was trying to see what the Sainsburys BGTY egg mayo came out at and that came out as syns too

I saw some Weight Watchers Pitta Breads in the supermarket today - marked as high fibre.

Does anybody know if these may be classed as a HE (as they are 4.1g fibre per pitta) They work out to 5syns each.
