Flexible syns are more to do with your head. Basically if you've got a big day/evening/whatever comming up and you know you're going to go over your syns, try and work out what the total number of syns will be. Then stick to it. It really means you're less likely to get on a spiral slope to the whole day being a write off, and then think the same the next day and the next etc and then think, oh I'll just start again after next weigh in. It's to keep you in control.

Does that make sense??

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.

thank you so much for this recipe, i made it yesterday and is so yummy i just roughly chopped everything and blended it. i think next time i will blend everything then add the onions and peppers to make it bit chunky

I went to the gym today and did 30mins on the x-trainer! Yay, go me :j I WILL have more than 0.5Ib next week, I WILL!

Also, dinner tonight was homemade tandoori chicken (free) with homemade raita (free) and I had 4 poppadoms (7syns) I would normally only have 2 but with going to the gym I just thought- go crazy and have a whole 7 syns. It's the only syns I've had all day so still less than 10!

63 syns left for the week!
