I was surprised it only allows you 100ml of OJ, wasn't really surprised by cereal but it's all I had (packet now finished and will be for a treat only).

Hi! just some ideas of where you can tweek things and use heathy extras perhaps and save some syns!

What you have done above looks like a 'Green' day to me so here is a 'makeover' of that menu.

Free food:
Rice Noodles, Medium, dried Vegetables, Mustard & cress Vegetables, Cabbage, red, raw/cooked without fat carrots cucumber lettuce tomatoes tuna apples low calorie squash low calorie squash Fresh orange chunks (instead of orange juice)

Healthy Extras:
A:250ml sweetened calcium-enriched soya milk
A:250ml sweetened calcium-enriched soya milk (have extra milk to have in tea or just to drink...or cheese
B: 28g cereal/42g other cereal (check your book to see what you can have and what you like)
B: Hifi Bar (you get these from class. £1.35 for 3 bars. I particularly like chocolate orange)

Syns:
WW Crinkle Crisps, Sweet Chilli 4 syns
Reduced Fat salad cream- 1tbsp 1.5 syns

Total syns: 5.5 syns

Just a few ideas of things you could do. it may take a week or so to get your head around the eating plan. You'll get there!

ps. Orange juice is high in syns as you can drink a whole lot more orange juice than you can eat oranges. So you could swap having a glass of orange juice in the morning for actually eating an orange (or two) and that will be syn free.

Good luck for the rest of the week

You'll just have to smash it next week Laura! I lost 2.5 last night (although I may have been a bit dehydrated), which is MASSIVE for me. Normally 1 is a good loss. Took me to 6.5 lb. Was desperately working out if I was on the half stone, but no, so close, like you!

Difficult weekend coming up, but will try to be good!

We'll get it next week! 1/2 a pound is all we need (although I'm greedy and want 2IB!:p)
Just eat lots of superfree founds around the bad stuff. Check out what is speed foods and aim for those!

Yeah we are all gonna get our stickers next week! Definitely!

This is actually Shapers tomato and basil soup from Boots, I got it as part of the Meal Deal with the Carrot Crunchies (I checked SW website it is free on all plans :j) but i do make Tomato soup myself when I'm not being lazy! I will have a think about my recipe... I tend to make it up as I go along rather than follow quantities IYSWIM

That'd be great thanks - thinking of making my own but want it to be as healthy as poss!!!

thought i'd pop the super soup back up as it really speeds your weight loss up


Speed food Soup (syn free on Green and EE)

1 can mixed bean salad
1 can green lentils
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 can bake beans
Handful of split lentils
2 large leeks
1 large onion
4 medium carrots
2 parsnips
1 each green, red and yellow peppers
2 vegetable stock cubes
Salt pepper
Mixed herbs
Water (enough to cover all ingredients)

Chop all vegetables. Put them and everything else into a large pan, cover with water, bring to boil and simmer until vegetables are soft (about 30 mins). Once cooked, the soup can be left chunky or blended smooth.
