Hi all, can anyone tell me how many syns are in mini tubs of Ben and Jerrys'?

haven't posted much but am following and finiding all the advice really helpful, so many thanks to all. Skint Catt - thanks for a great explanation of EE - I have never been able to get my head round it before.

I am still not being absolutely precise with counting all th syns as I don't have the energy at the mo,but the scales are going in the right direction, so happy with what i am doing and can crank it up when they stop moving.
Basically, no bread for last week (which means no butter either:o), much lower carb portions and smaller dinners in general, stopping when full and following red/green days. And no longer snacking on rubbish but not feeling deprived either. And certainly eating lots.

Hello everyone, just thought I'd report on my weekend. I had to go and stay overnight in the Midlands as I had an 80th birthday to go to, they had a l940s theme and I'd been told it would be fish paste sandwiches and jelly! Anyway, I had loads of fruit before I went, and actually the buffet was fab because there were prawns, salads, cocktail tomatoes, pickled onions and little grilled chicken pieces so I could stack up my plate and feel completely virtuous.:A Somewhat undone when I asked for a red wine at the bar and a big tumbler of the stuff was plonked in front of me (I thought at first she'd misheard and given me cola!). Well, I had to drink it. However, did lots and lots of dancing so I am hoping the wine was worked off!:T

You might think the big glass of wine would be ok sinwise but I have a bit of a confession ..... to reach the Midlands I had to drive past an Ikea at about 1.30 pm and the devil dragged me in there and straight to the restaurant and instead of having the salmon meal the devil put meatballs and gravy in front of me. Does it count as Syns if I felt really really guilty eating them?:p

I have had my weigh in today and have lost another 1 lb, so i am pleased over all, i had 2 bad days so didn't think this was too bad.
I was telling a friend this morning that i had only lost 4 lbs in 3 weeks and she basically told me that it had taken me 28 years to get to this weight, so why should i rush it to lose it quickly, if it takes a year to lose then i should be happy with that!
she has a point!!

Weigh-in today and have lost 2lbs so thats 11lb in 5 weeks :j

Did go out for lunch to my brother and sister-in-laws for my neice's birthday and had chicken pasta bake (was in a creamy sauce), small bit of bread and salad plus sliver of choc birthday cake but like I said before you do have to live as this isn't a diet but something I will need to maintain forever.

Only had FF yog and banana for breakfast and will only have fruit later so hoping to balance things a bit.

Back on track again tomorrow

Well done on the losses Karen and Debjay!

Have had a major sweet tooth today so have ended up eating about 10 syns over I think, just on funsize chocs and fondant fancies! Have been SW friendly otherwise though, I'm out of the house again tomorrow (have been in now for pretty much 4 days), so it should be easier as I'm out and busy as opposed to just trying to procrastinate. Have had good days since thursday morning (WI) overall though. I'll just have 5 syns tomorrow. Hopefully my loss (fingers crossed) won't be affected.

Today started off well. Had 5 scan crispbread with bake beans. If that dont get things moving then goodness knows what will lol.

Afternoon went to Harvester and had the grilled chicken with bake potatoes and peas. There were two pats of butter on the plate but didnt touch them but went a bit mad at the salad bar and had potato salad, bread as well as good salad. Also had a half litre of wine so goodness knows how many syns I've had

Too stuffed for anything this evening but will nibble on fruit later probably and drink lots of herb tea.

Hi all, does the following sound ok for an EE day?

Breakfast -
Eggs, bacon (fat removed) quorn sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes all cooked in frylight and baked beans

Lunch - tub of mango, mini tub of ben and jerrys ice cream (14 syns?) and a mullerlight

Dinner - home made chicken kiev
Chicken breasts stuffed with an extra light laughing cow cheese triangle, garlic and herbs, coated in breadcrumbs (HEb, wholemeal bread) and SW chips and peas

I'm stuffed after that lot, I hope I'm doing this right!

If you are having chedder it is 28g as are most of the cheeses. Some of the low fat ones such as low low is 42g. The only oat so simple that can be used as a HEB is the plain one - not the syrup or apple.
