Well, went to WI today and in my first week I lost 4lb!:j:j

Dad lost 6lb but the consultant said that men find it easier to lose than women. I was so amazed, at image therapy we'd managed to lose a combined 102lb between the two groups (our hall is tiny so we have an early group and a late group).

Hoping to stay on track for next week, so going to get stuck into meal planning, packed lunches and lay off the crumble on Sunday nights. I need to search SW online and make some low-syn cakes to snack on instead.

Bought the pudding rice as well so next time I get a free minute I'm going to make that syn free rice pudding with a vanilla ML and some splenda to get as close to regular rice pudding as possible.

weldone to you and your dad , thats a great loss :T:T

Meant to ask, has anyone got the branded freebies book that lists all the syn free branded food? I'd like to know if it's any good before buying a copy, would be handy to have so that i know what quick foods to keep in the cupboard for lazy days.

Butter beans
Native to South America, these large plump cream beans are similar in shape to broad beans. These low-fat beans are available fresh, dried, canned or frozen, and are a good protein provider. They are also a good source of iron, dietary fibre, potassium pyridoxine and thiamin. (pop-up windows)
