skint_catt - don't give up. you've been so supportive to everyone here and your advice really is invaluable. the weight loss may be slow but it will pay off. lots of love to you.
boltonangel - i hope you're okay. i can't believe what your doctor said to you and the only piece of advice i can give is to speak to another doctor and not leave until they help you. xx

Having a very green day today, bran flakes for brekkie, veg soup for lunch and just having some melon. I was hoping someone can check the syn value of 'Nom Dairy' naturally light alphonso mango and passionfruit yoghurt? It says 0% fat but thought it'd be best to check and i've forgotten the password to get online!

Also, there is a big packet of sainsbury's shortbread fingers at the end of my team. I'm so tempted to have one... is anyone able to check?

Thanks! xxxxx

My oh and I have decided to try a week of stir frys. We both love stir frys with garlic, soy, lime, ginger and chilli. and noodles.
were going to start form Monday. Doing a week of green this week then stir fry week next week. Will go EE so we can have meat.
going to have turkey, prawn, quorn chicken and beef. That way we are eating loads of super free foods and we both enjoy it. I want to vary it a bit so we dont get fed up by the end of the week. Anyone any suggestions to make a free sauce or very low syn. Id like to try a black bean one.
it might seem boring but I make a mean stir fry, and everytime we have one, we are both making yummy noises and saying 'I could eat that everynight' so going to give it a go.
Farmfoods do a huge back of raw jumbo king prawns for £4.95, they are amazing, really tasty and not rubbery.

Skint catt, i feel for you. Im not sure, but perhaps you might need to do some exericise, or up the ante a bit if you already do some exercise to help shift those few pounds th\at are more difficult to come off??

Thanks for all the comments. So much going through my head at the mo - do this, do that, eat this, don't eat that!

Will try and up my exercise but I'm really struggling with my knee - I'm in a lot of pain but can't go and see anyone as I don't have health insurance in place at the mo

Can anyone help me make grapefruit edible? I find it too bitter but I won one in the SOTW basket and don't want to waste it.

Todays EE;
Brekkie; free sausage, bacon, egg, baked beans & mushrooms with satsuma & grapes (all free)
Lunch; chilli bean soup with banana & yoghurt (all free)
Dinner; gammon, sw chips (my treat to myself - I don't cook them anymore), egg with green beans & carrots (all free)
Snack; if i can barely fit it in - 5 scan bran with quark smoked salmon pate (HEb & free)

i cant find out the syns of an Allinson Brown bap! no matter what i type in, nothing is coming up!?

yorkshire_laura

hey all!

its hard to keep up with all these posts! i get a daily e-mail and there were 88 yesterday, not had chance to read them yet.

yesterday i started off well, fruit & yogurt, beans on toast, fruit to snack then after weigh in i had fishcake, chips and mushy peas from chippy coz i couldn't be bothered to cook after a stressful day! lost 0.5 lb at weigh in.

today has been ok, had fruit and yogurt, biscuit (4 syns), pasta n sauce, 3 roses (6 syns? are they 2 each?) fruit, and planning to have bacon, scrambled egg and toast for tea and more fruit.

Skint_Catt

No can't find any rolls/baps under Allinson. Nor brown or wholemeal!

Oh yes, I rememeber now you said you have a sore knee. thats an ackward situation? how is gentle walking? Situps/pushups? I was at Aerobics last night, (1st time!) and the instructor was able to give my friend alternative exercises as she has a sore back, and another lady has weak joints and she was told to do something alernative. so there should be something you could do.im not sure the internet would be a good source of info as there is a lot of stuff that is incorrect iut there and its not really worth hurting yourself more!
ive never done it, but perhaps yoga? im not sure how much knee mpvement is required in it though, i could be totally wrong!?

Cant help with the grapefruit either. Grapefruit and Avocao are only things i cant eat!!!!!
